Abstract (en)
A roll-down target assembly (40) for a pinball game (10) is disclosed in which a target element (44) is mounted on a target member (42). The target member is movably connected to a playfield (16) such that the target element can be selectively moved by the ball (50) through an opening (60) included on the playfield from one side of the playfield to the other side of the playfield. As the target element is so moved, the ball, guided by a guide element (162), follows the target element through the opening and to the other side of the playfield. The ball then is engaged by a track (64) which transports the ball to a given location on an underlying playfield (12). The ball moves the target element against a biasing spring (54) which urges the target element to one side of the playfield.
