| 摘要 | A coin operated dart game wherein darts are propelled into piercing contact with a target assembly having a scoring register for accumulating the results of the areas of the target assembly penetrated by the darts. The target apparatus is located behind a fixed screen member and is supported on a carriage for cyclic movement by an electric motor from a forward dart receiving position to a rearward dart removing position, with the motor being cyclically driven in response to a dart penetrating the target apparatus. A collector is operatively associated with the dart game for collecting the removed darts in a container, with the container being operated from a dart storing position to a dart dispensing position in response to operation of a coin deposit. | ||||||
| 权利要求 | 1. A game for use in playing darts comprising, in combination: a. target means constructed of a material to permit penetration of piercing means on a thrown dart; b. means operatively associated with said target means for removing a thrown dart from said target means; c. said dart removing means including dart stripping means, and means being provided for effecting relative movement between said target means and said dart stripping means with said game including means for automatically effecting said relative movement and for holding said target and said stripping means in a displaced inoperable dart receiving position after completion of a dart game; and d. said stripping means being fixed and said target means being movable relative to said stripping means from a forwardly extended dart receiving position to a rearwardly displaced dart stripping position. 2. A game as defined in claim 1 further characterized in that said game includes coin operated dart container means supported for collecting said darts removed from said target means, said container means being operable for movement between a retracted dart storage position and an extended dart dispensing position, and wherein said game includes coin operated means for effecting movement of said container from said retracted storage position to said extended dart dispensing position. 3. A game as defined in claim 2 further characterized in that said game includes a number of downwardly converging wall surfaces having spaced ends defining an opening for transferring the removed darts to said coin operated container means. 4. A game as defined in claim 1 further characterized in that said target is supported on a carriage, and wherein said carriage includes cyclically driven motor means for effecting movement of said carriage and the supported target from the forwardly extended target receiving position to the retracted dart stripping position. 5. A game as defined in claim 4 further characterized in that said carriage drive motor is cyclically driven from said forwardly extended position to the rearwardly retracted position and back to the forwardly extended position in response to a thrown dart penetrating said target means. 6. A game as defined in claim 5 further characterized in that said game includes electrical scoring means operable for accumulating the results of each thrown dart. 7. A game for use in playing darts comprising in combination, target means constructed of a material to permit penetration of piercing means on a thrown dart, stripping means fixedly mounted adjacent and in front of said target means, said stripping means being so formed as to permit penetration by the piercing means of a dart but to prevent passage of a dart body portion, and means for moving said target means in a no-vertical path away from and returning it to a position adjacent said stripping means, said movement away from the stripping means being effective to strip a dart which has penetrated the target means. |
