ABSTRACT:
Target apparatus for pinball machines includes a plurality of longitudinally aligned targets disposed in a row on a downwardly inclined portion of the playing surface. Guides are disposed on both sides of the row of targets, to direct a ball up the incline into contact with the first target. The ball unseats the target, which is then pulled by a spring down through a hole in the playing surface. Thereafter the ball is free to contact the next target, and so on from target to target, the ball rolling back from the targets, on a trackway provided by the guides, under the influence of gravity. The retraction of each target actuates an electrical contact to change the score; and the targets can all be returned to their raised position by electrically operated mechanism.
