VACUUM CRANE ARCADE GAME

摘要

An arcade target game uses an extendable pick-up device to enter a silo of prizes in a vertical direction. The prizes are protected by the silo's outer wall that limits successful attempts to those tries that avoid the wall. A vacuum source allows the pick-up device to capture the prize if the pick-up device successfully enters the silo. The pick-up device's effective radius can be adjusted by extending projections that reduce the tolerance between the disk and the silo's outer wall.
