Arcade game with aluminum can targets
The present invention is an arcade game with a crane mechanism that uses a suction device to capture and extract beverages in aluminum cans. The arcade game may use a rotating playing field where the targets sit on a turn-table type rotating disk, or the targets may be arranged on a stationary playing field. The pick-up device can use a joystick or other type of player controls to maneuver the pick-up device over the intended target, and then lowered onto the bottom surface of the inverted can in an attempt to extract the target from the playing field. The pick-up device preferably uses a suction cup that, if positioned directly over the bottom surface of the inverted can, will make a seal with the can and allow the can to be lifted from the playing field. If the suction cup is not placed directly over the can such that a seal is not established, the pick-up device will not be able to apply a fully negative pressure between the can and the pick-up device, and the attempt will fail. In the event of a successful attempt, the can is transferred to a retrieval bin adjacent the playing field where the player can obtain the prize.

Block building game
Apparatus and method of playing a building game against an opponent. The apparatus may include a podium for building a structure with stackable materials such as building blocks. The apparatus may also include an actuator that allows a first player to blow up a second players structure if the first player builds his or hers first. The Build or Boom game may simply utilize air chambers and a tube but is also capable of utilizing electrical and mechanical means to perform the same functions.
Midair balloon-popping game tool, toy drone, balloon-popping game tool, and balloon-popping game method
A dedicated midair balloon-popping game apparatus is used by attaching to a drone that can be remotely controlled. The midair balloon-popping game apparatus includes: a container, which includes an attachment portion for attachment to the drone, and is capable of accommodating a balloon in an inflated state; a pressed portion which is provided on an outer side of the container; a balloon-popping member which acts to pop the balloon inside the container when the pressed portion is pressed; and a pressing portion configured to collide with a pressed portion of a midair balloon-popping game apparatus of another player.
Raffle device
A device used in marketing contests, particularly for the drawing of tickets which are put into a rotating raffle drum (G), and whose main purpose is to provide a dynamic and automated device that, advantageously, allows feeding of tickets even when the rotating drum is moving, enables constant and uniform shuffling of said tickets, thus ensuring randomness of the drawing with greater safety and ease and, at the same time, provides public entertainment. Said raffle device (E) comprises a rotating raffle drum (G), a stand (S), a rotation mechanism (R), a ticket feeding device (D), a compressed air power unit (C) and a power, command and control board (Q), including an electronic control unit (not depicted) such as a PLC. Device (E) may further comprise a ticket swirling mechanism (T) interconnected to a compressed air power unit (C) and a lighting system (not depicted) conveniently associated with the rotating drum (G).
GAMING TABLE PROVIDING IMPROVED AIR CURTAIN
Embodiments generally relate to a gaming table. The gaming table comprises: a table structure defining a dealer side and an opposite player side, and defining a dealer position on the dealer side, wherein the table structure comprises a table top having a dealer table area and a player table area; a first air manifold on a first side of the dealer position, the first air manifold being positioned in the dealer table area and arranged to project multiple first air jets at a plurality of different angles; a second air manifold on a second side of the dealer position opposite the first side, the second air manifold being positioned in the dealer table area and arranged to project multiple second air jets at a plurality of different angles; and a blower to provide positive air pressure to the first and second air manifolds to thereby project the first and second air jets. The first and second air manifolds are arranged to project the first and second air jets in front of and away from the dealer position to shield the dealer position from fumes emanating from the player side.
Balloon target apparatus and method
A target apparatus including a post having a point on a first end, and an opposing second end; a plurality of support members, each having a first end connected to the second end of the post, and an opposing second end; and a central deflector having a point; and wherein each of the second ends of each of the plurality of support members is spaced apart from each of the other second ends of the plurality of support members; and wherein the central deflector is located within a perimeter defined by second ends of the plurality of support members. The target apparatus may further include a ring, which may be connected to the second ends of the plurality of support members.
RESPIRATORY THERAPY DEVICE AND SYSTEM WITH INTEGRATED GAMING CAPABILITIES AND METHOD OF USING THE SAME
A processor-based respiratory device for respiratory therapy that combines gaming and real-time feedback to guide a user through proper respiratory techniques is provided. The device has a chamber being positioned inside of the housing between the inlet and the outlet of the housing, the chamber being configured to allow air to flow from a user to a form factor when the user breathes into the chamber; at least a sensor positioned within the chamber and electronically coupled to the processor, a connection member configured to form a seal with an opening of the form factor, and the processor comprises a communications interface coupled to a network, the communications interface being configured to output a signal to a graphical user interface based on the airflow in the chamber.
GAME SYSTEM
A game system includes: a balloon; an air supply source; an air supply pipe that connects the balloon with the air supply source; and a control device that executes a game, and when the game is not cleared within a predetermined time limit, performs control for producing a game effect of bursting the balloon having been inflated.
VACUUM CRANE GAME WITH PERFORATED TARGETS
A crane game with a vacuum head adapted to pick up objects with a smooth extraction surface is disclosed wherein the objects, or targets, include perforations that present a more challenging target by reducing the available extraction surface. Targets include one or more perforations that may prevent a seal from being formed with the suction head, denying extraction of the target by the vacuum head. Values may be assigned to the targets based on the number of perforations.
