Appl. No.:

8/093578

Inventors:

James A. Patla - Rolling Meadows IL
James X. Glass - Roselle IL

Assignee:

Williams Electronics Games, Inc. - Chicago IL

International Classification:

A63F 736

US Classification:

273118R

Abstract:

The tilt switch/incline indicator of the invention consists of a first support member that is connected to the game cabinet in a known orientation. A second member is pivotably supported on the first member and can be fixed relative thereto at angles corresponding to the desired angle of incline of the playfield. The second member supports a pendulum-type tilt switch similar to that used in the prior art. The pendulum acts like a plumb line to give a visual indication to the game operator that the playfield is at the desired angle set at the second member by observing when the pendulum is centered relative to the contact. The mechanism of the invention uses the tilt switch as the level indicator such that the playfield can be positioned at a known angle without requiring a separate level indicator or the recalibration to the tilt switch.
