A claw machine includes a compartment for containing multiple prizes, a crane module movable in the compartment, a chute, a claw module, a turntable, a coin module, a control system, and an operation module including at least one joy stick and at least one button. In operation, the control system actuates the turntable module. A player is allowed to operate the joy stick and the button to move the crane module, to lift and lower the claw module relative to the crane module, to open and close the claw module to fetch a desired one of prizes, and to open the claw module to drop the desired prize onto the turntable module. The turntable module casts the desired prize toward the chute in a centrifugal manner.

Method for operating a claw machine

A contactless game controller includes a direction panel, at least one direction module, a button-simulating panel and at least one button-simulating panel. The direction panel is supported on the game machine and includes at least one direction-indicating window. The direction module is located under the direction panel corresponding to the direction-indicating window and electrically connected to the control box. The button-simulating panel is supported on the game machine and includes at least one button-simulating window. The button-simulating module is located under the button-simulating panel corresponding to the button-simulating window and electrically connected to the control box.

A claw machine includes a chute and a sensor for detecting a won prize dropped to the chute. The sensor includes infrared units, a comparator, a calculating and judging unit, an actuating unit, an indicator, a controller, an integrated circuit board and a casing. Each of the infrared units includes an infrared transmitter for emitting an incident infrared beam with a carrier wave at a predetermined frequency and an infrared receiver for receiving a reflected infrared beam at the predetermined frequency. The controller instructs, controls, commands and manages the infrared units, the comparator, the calculating and judging unit, the actuating unit and the indicator. The infrared units, the comparator, the calculating and judging unit, the actuating unit and the indicator are supported on the integrated circuit board. The casing contains the integrated circuit board. The casing, which contains the integrated circuit board, is supported on a wall of the chute.

A pneumatic claw-controlling apparatus includes a claw, an air supply, a high-pressure channel, a medium-pressure channel and a low-pressure channel. The claw is normally in an opened position and movable to a closed position by working air. The air supply releases the working gas according to an air-supply signal. The high-pressure channel is operable to adjust the working gas to a high pressure and communicate the air supply with the claw according to a high-pressure signal. The medium-pressure channel is operable to adjust the working gas to a medium pressure and communicate the air supply with the claw according to a medium-pressure signal. The low-pressure channel is operable to adjust the working gas to a low pressure and communicate the air supply with the claw according to a low-pressure signal. The releasing channel is operable to block the claw from the atmosphere according to a vent-stopping signal.

A game machine is provided with a structural and lighting apparatus. The structural and lighting apparatus includes a plank, a bar and fins. The bar includes two strips extending on and along a front face of the plank. Each of the strips provides a space with the plank. The bar is located between two panels of two lockers of the game machine so that each of the spaces receives an edge of a corresponding one of the panels. The fins extend on and along a rear face of the plank, thereby providing at least one partition-containing groove for receiving a partition between two lockers and at least one light-containing groove for receiving at least one LED string in the corresponding locker.

A vending machine is equipped with a dispensing device that includes a plate, a track, carriers, a work station, a driving unit and a sensor. The plate is horizontally placed in a vending machine. The track is connected to the plate. The carriers are movably connected to the track for carrying products. The work station causes a selected one of the carriers to release the corresponding one of the products. The driving unit drives the carriers along the track. The sensor senses the selected one of the carriers and accordingly stops the driving unit so that the selected one of the carriers is placed at the work station.

Dispensing device for vending machine

A game machine includes a cabinet, a supporting rod disposed in the cabinet, a retaining base secured on top of the rod, a lighting device disposed on the retaining device, and a drive mechanism disposed in the cabinet. The rod defines a bore therein. The retaining base defines an aperture in communication with the bore in the rod. The lighting device has its electric wire extending through both of the aperture in the retaining base and the bore in the rod. The target is made of a light-transmissive material. The retaining base and the lighting device are housed in a receptacle of the target. The drive mechanism is configured to drive the rod to move up to have the target pop out of a hole in a table of the cabinet.

A basketball game assembly includes a backboard, a hoop mounted on a front side of the backboard and a ball blocking device. The ball blocking device includes a shaft, a blocking member and a driving arrangement. The shaft at its rear end is rotatably mounted to the backboard. The blocking member is connected to a front end of the shaft and disposed adjacent to a front edge of the hoop. The driving arrangement is configured to rotate the shaft so as to have the blocking member move to a blocking position higher than the hoop or depart from the blocking position.
