Abstract

256,877. Duncan, W. F. March 9, 1926. Race games, mechanical.- Racing figures of the kind described in Specification 244,373 are modified by the replacement of the bar connecting the hands of a figure by a length of wire A, Fig. 1, bent to form loops B, B<1>, through which the cords C', C<2> pass. In a further modification, the bar is dispensed with, and the cords are passed over pegs on the arms, the arms being formed integrally and being pivoted at the centre to the body. The indicating device comprises a series of members 4, each normally held within a compartment 1, Fig. 5, by a catch 3, but adapted to move outwardlv under the action of a spring 2 when the catch is released bv the corresponding figure. The member, corresponding to the winning figure, in moving, engages a projection 7, thus causing a shaft 5 to rotate and a projection 8 to be positioned before each of the remaining members to prevent their moving.
