Abstract

Kicker apparatus for a table game that includes a head portion that has a lower part that has leg portions that at least in part define an arcuate surface portion that forms a mating fit with an actuating rod, the actuating rod being rotatably slidably mounted on the game table, and a lower kicker portion having arcuately curved legs to extend partially around the lower part in close fitting relationship thereto. The upper terminal ends of the legs are of a minimum spacing that is greater than the diameter of the rod so that the kicker portion can be replaced without removing the rod from the table. A bolt is provided to hold the head and kicker portions together in a fixed position relative the rod. In one embodiment the leg portions are a part of a ring portion through which the rod extends while in the other embodiment the leg portions have lower terminal ends and the kicker portion has a surface that abuts against the rod.
