Title: Toy amusement arcade
Claims: Having thus described our invention, what we desire to claim and secure by letters patent is: 1. A children's toy arcade game having a plurality of toy game features, said gam comprising: a. a game frame means, b. shooter game means simulating a gun range on said frame means, said shooter game means comprising: 1. a projectile shooter member simulating a gun for issuing a projectile, 2. a plurality of aligned target members located to be contacted by said projectile, 3. and flexible connection means connecting said projectile to said shooter game means, 4. manually operable return means operatively connected to said target members to shift said target members to their initial positions. c. a second game means on said frame means for play with a spherical element, said second game means comprising: 1. a completely enclosed first housing, 2. an optically transparent upper surface forming part of said first housing to view the interior thereof; 3. a spherical element shooter mechanism located in said first housing for issuing a spherical element, 4. a score depicting section having at least one aperture to receive the spherical element to attain a score, 5. an actuating mechanism located externally of said housing member for manual actuation to actuate said shooter mechanism to release the spherical element and to enable same to be moved toward a receiving member, and 6. return means to return the spherical element to the shooter mechanism completely within said first housing, d. a third game means on said frame means, said third game means comprising: 1. a completely enclosed second housing, 2. an optically transparent second upper surface forming part of said second housing to view the interior thereof. 3. a scoring element projecting device for issuing a spherical scoring element, 4. a target section located within said second housing and located to be contacted by said scoring element, 5. a rod mounting said target section in said second housing and said rod extending outwardly of said second housing, 6. linking means operatively connecting said rod to said target section, 7. a simulated bath device located outwardly of said second housing, 8. a simulated person carried on said rod outwardly of said second housing and being pivoted into said simulated bath device when said target section is contacted by said scoring element, and 9. a manually operable return means located externally of said housing and being operatively connected to said rod for returning said simulated person to its initial position, e. means forming a recess in said frame means at each of said game means in proximity to a player end of each of said game means, and f. a simulated player element provided for insertion into said recess at the game means to indicate the game means being played. 2. The children's toy arcade game of claim 1 further characterized in that said second game means comprises a simulated pin ball machine. 3. The children's toy arcade game of claim 1 further characterized in that said target members comprise individual target elements and each of said target elements being connected to said return means such that all target elements are shifted to said intial positions simultaneously. 4. The children's toy arcade game of claim 1 further characterized in that said second game means comprises a game where the player attempts to locate a spherical element in one of a plurality of circularly shaped recesses. 5. A children's toy arcade game having a plurality of toy game features, said game comprising: a. a game frame means, b. a first game means on said frame means for play with a spherical element and simulating a pin ball game, said first game means comprising: 1. a first completely enclosed housing, 2. an optically transparnet first upper surface forming part of said first housing, 3. a bottom wall forming part of said housing, 4. a spherical element first shooter mechanism located in said first housing for issuing a first spherical element, 5. said bottom wall having a plurality of apertures located therein to receive said first spherical element and each of said apertures representing a different scoring function, 6. an actuating mechanism located externally of said housing member for manual actuation to actuate said first shooter mechanism to release the first spherical element and to enable same to be moved toward said receiving apertures and upon entry in any of said first receiving apertures, generates a first scoring function, and 7. first return means to return the first spherical element to the first shooter mechanism completely within said first housing, c. a second game means on said frame means for play with a spherical element, said second game means comprising: 1. a second completely enclosed housing, 2. an optically transparent second upper surface forming part of said second housing to run the interior thereof, 3. an inclined wall forming part of said second housing, 4. means forming a plurality of concentric and circular spherical element receiving recesses on said inclined wall, 5. a spherical element second shooter mechanism located in said second housing for issuing a second spherical element, 6. an actuating mechanism located externally of said second housing for manual actuation to actuate said second shooter mechanism to release the spherical element and to enable same to be moved toward said receiving recesses and upon entry in said receiving recesses generates a second scoring function which is different than said first scoring function, and 7. second return means to return the second spherical element to the second shooter mechanism completely within said second housing, d. a third game means on said frame means, said third game means comprising: 1. a completely enclosed third housing, 2. an optically transparent third upper surface forming part of said third housing to view the interior thereof, 3. a scoring element projecting device for issuing a spherical scoring element, 4. a target section located within said third housing and located to be contacted by said scoring element, 5. a rod mounting said target section in said third housing and said rod extending outwardly of said third housing, 6. linking means operatively connecting said rod to said target section, 7. a simulated bath device located outwardly of said third housing, 8. a simulated person carried on said rod outwardly of said third housing and being pivoted into said simulated bath device when said target section is contacted by said scoring element, and 9. a manually operable return means located externally of said housing and being operatively connected to said rod for returning said simulated person to its initial position, e. means forming a recess in said frame means at each of said game means in proximity to a player end of each of said game means, and f. a simulated player element provided for insertion into said recesses at the game means to indicate the game means being played. 6. The children's toy arcade game of claim 5 further characterized in that said game comprises shooter game means simulating a gun range on said frame means, said shooter game means comprising: 1. a projectile shooter member simulating a gun for issuing a projectile, 2. a plurality of aligned target members located to be contacted by said projectile, 3. and flexible connection means connecting said projectile to said shooter game means, and 4. manually operable return means operatively connected to said target members to shift said target members to their initial positions. 7. The children's toy arcade game of claim 6 further characterized in that said target members comprises individual target elements and each of said target elements being connected to said return means such that all target elements are shifted to said initial positions simultaneously.
