Assembly in Action: Blind Threaded Inserts Make Short Work of Game Production
Many skill games are built with a tubular steel frame, and accessibility to install fastening hardware is limited to only one side. Skee-Ball overcame this obstacle by using SpinTite blind threaded inserts from Atlas Engineering (Kent, OH). Because they can be used in blind-attachment applications, the inserts have enabled Skee-Ball to score additional points on the production line and with customers.
An example is the Super Shot basketball model, which features a moving backboard to create four different game options, linkability for up to six player competitions, a state-of-the-art sound system (with game music, announcers and crowd cheers), and a dot matrix display for game status and scores.
