A security system for dispensing a deterrent fluid is provided. The security system includes a storage tank which contains the fluid, at least one spray nozzle assembly, a pump for pumping the fluid from the storage tank to the spray nozzle assembly and a pressure relief valve connected to the storage tank. The security system also includes first piping assembly connecting the storage tank to the pump. This first piping assembly includes a check valve to deter the flow of the fluid from the pump back to the storage tank. The security system also includes a second piping assembly connecting the pump to the spray nozzle. This piping assembly includes a mechanism for activating the pump and the spray nozzle. Finally, the security system includes a third piping assembly which comprises a second flow path from the pump to the storage tank. The pressure relief valve relieves any unwanted pressure from the system whenever the system is deactivated, such that the system is only under pressure when in use.

An improved ball return mechanism for a game like golf which includes a pressurizable ball receiving chamber for receiving a ball once played through a hole in a target area, a conduit extending between the hole and the chamber, a door separating the conduit and the ball receiving chamber, a source of fluid under pressure, an electrical device for admitting upon receipt of a signal the fluid under pressure into the chamber in an amount sufficient to drive the ball from the chamber to a return area, and an electrical switch for sensing the presence of a ball in the chamber and thereafter generating a signal to said fluid admitting means to admit fluid under pressure into the chamber. Upon entrance of a ball into the chamber, the chamber is closed off and pressurized, the ball is then ejected from the chamber by the pressure with enough force to send it to the return area.

A new game apparatus including a shooting device for shooting a ball and a target when the shooting device is loaded, balls are either shot automatically by the shooting device, or by a trigger operated by the user. The shooting device includes a pressurizable ball receiving chamber into which the ball to be played enters when the player is ready to shoot the shooting device. The ball enters the chamber through a first hole in the chamber. The shooting device also includes a door for closing this first hole, a source of fluid under pressure and a switch and solenoid assembly for admitting the fluid into the chamber in a sufficient amount to drive the ball from the chamber through a second hole in the chamber. The second hole leads to an exit conduit through which the ball is projected out into the open air. The chamber is closed off upon the initial pressurization of the chamber by the door and by the ball.
