Abstract

A game structure capable of being used to simulate to a degree any of a series of games such as basketball, volleyball or the like can be constructed so as to utilize a housing having a transluscent or transparent front surface. In a game structure as disclosed a carriage is mounted in the housing in back of the front surface so as to be capable of being moved back and forth along a path. A member simulating a member which is moved as a game is played is supported on the carriage so as to be moved as the carriage is moved. This member is of such a character as to be capable of being viewed through the front surface of the housing. Two separate structures are provided for moving the carriage. One of these is mounted adjacent to one end of the housing and the other is mounted adjacent to the other end of the housing. Each of these structures for moving the carriage is capable of being actuated so as to exert repetitive blows against the carriage as it is repetitively actuated in order to cause the carriage to move.
