in normally inclined position to the
respective sides of the central plate
so that said runways are inclined.
Each runway has a different kind
of semi-obstruction as indicated in
the drawing, so that various degrees
of skill are required to cause a ball
or marble to roll up the runway,
surmount the obstruction, and into
the receptacles in the central plate.

New Game
A patent has been granted to
Peter Horn and Frank Zipp of
Brooklyn, N. Y., which covers an
inexpensive game wherein balls, by
manual retraction and snapping
forward of a bent wire, are cata­
pulted upwardly from their re­
cesses in a hinged box cover by re­
lease of said cover from its lower
inclined position. A loop spring
causes said cover to spring up­
wardly when the operator pulls out­
wardly 011 a spring an the end of
the box which normally bears upon
a shoulder of the box cover to hold
it down. To repeat, the cover is
again pressed down past the retract-
ible spring which again engages tile
cover shoulder.

Here is a new idea in a game
which will be dependent upon the
skill of the operator simulating a
golf game . It comprises a cabinet
with transparent cover, with a deck
which simulates in appearance a
fairway or green and which has a
putting hole. This deck is inclined
to a common point in which is ro­
tatably mounted a spherical disk
comprising a tee. The tee is rotat­
able through lever means beneath
the deck connected to an outside bell
crank*
A miniature golfer holding a club
represents the impelling means and
is rotatably mounted on a shaft to
which the golfer is secured, one end
of the shaft extending beneath a
bunker or deck. The shaft has a
bevel gear thereon which meshes
with a similar gear on another shaft
beneath the deck, which in turn is
rotated by the operator through a
bell crank lever which extends out­
side of the cabinet. Booking of the
lever will oscillate the golfer to
move the head of the club across the
tee, thereby striking the ball. A
coin control mechanism including a
releasable lock is provided. A back­
stop having two target openings is
provided, each target having a trig­
ger mechanism which is thrown

when struck by a propelled ball.
When both target openings have
been scored and closed, a putting
opening is uncovered through con­
cealed lever mechanism, and when
the putt has been made, the device
will automatically lock until again
released by the coin operated mech­
anism.
Bromberg Adds Another Branch
New Mint Vendor Patent
The min'ts (or other packages)
are contained in a plurality of mer­
chandise compartments arranged
side by side and having visible win­
dows so that the customer may see
the package in each compartment.
Operation is controlled by a coin
controlled mechanism which re­
leases any one of the locking de­
vices controlling the merchandise
ejector of the compartment selected.
Springs normally urge the ejectors
toward inoperative position and a
lock bar normally prevents actua­
tion of all but one ejector selected,
but said lock bar is operable by the
customer to release the selected
ejector. Novel mechanical means
are provided for preventing re­
peated operation of the selected
ejector on the same coin. The op­
eration of the selected ejector serves
to lock all the other ejectors until
again released for operation by the
coin controlled mechanism.

article holding receptacle, the bot­
tom of which is movable, cooperates
with the article discharging mech­
anism mounted on the side walls to
deliver ane article at a time into the
throat, A slide is mounted in in­
clined position above said flap valve
and is movable vertically through
an actuable pinion and a rack bar
on the slide to alter the area of the
opening covered by said flap valve.
The article distributing mechanism
is actuated by the operator through
a swinging lever with an outwardly
projecting handle, "

Injunction Protects New
Bally Game
Several m anufacturers have
sought injunctions against alleged
imitators of their machines.
The Bally Manufacturing Com­
pany for one, a few days ago, ob­
tained an injunction against a con­
cern alleging unfair trade practices
in the production of a machine sim­
ilar, or alleged to be a duplicate, of
the new Goofy machine. The Bally
people have issued a warningi to the
trade, including jobbers, sales
agents and users informing them
that all infringers will be held ac­
countable for any violation of the
injunction. The restraining order
Irving Bromberg Co. have opened
another branch store at 104 Hope
St., Passaic, N. J. This is the sec­
ond branch to be put into operation
by Mr. Bromberg within the last
two months. Bromberg, who is an
energetic merchandiser, has built
up a large following, particularly
on the Atlantic seaboard, and in ad­
dition has developed some popular
numbers in the game and vending
machine lines.
New Games Coming
Dave White, of the Prosperity
Coin Machine Corp., Baltimore,
Md., is designing some new boards
and games which he says will be a
surprise to operators. White has
introduced some: highly successful
numbers which leave little doubt
but that the new boards soon to be
announced will be popular items
with the trade.
The idea of the play in the boards
already testedf has proved popular
and profitable, while some reports
that have reached us indicate that
seldom have any boards incorpo­
rated such beauty and attractive­
ness as these new boards.
Interested in Chocolate Tablets
Answering the inquiry of E.Y.H.
regarding chocolate tablets:
Considerable interest has been
shown in the vending of vanilla
chocolate tablets. These tablets have
been a standard item in machines
in public places for many years and
are the product of one of the oldest
and largest eastern chocolate man­
ufacturers.
