Description

[Detailed description of the invention]

[0001]

[Technical field to which the invention belongs]

 The present invention relates to a toy for a game in which a ball is shot into an opponent's goal with a water gun.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 Conventionally, as a game of this type, a target that puts the target into the opponent's goal is a game device placed at a game center or the like, and a competitor facing the “disc” target on the smooth surface of the game board holds the target. There is a so-called “hockey game” where you hit your opponent's goal by hitting it with a disk-shaped hammer. In addition, as a game using a water gun, a game in which a competitor facing a falling target knocks down with a water gun is known (see Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 6-49333).

[0003]

[Problems to be solved by the invention]

 Of the techniques described in the prior art, the former is too fast for the target to move, making it unsuitable for children and the elderly, and the monotonous operation of simply hitting and pushing requires complicated and surprising game play. It is poor in sex and is not suitable for outdoor games at events, etc., and is not suitable for outdoors without air conditioning, especially in summer, because it is for indoor games.

[0004] In the latter case, a simple fall down at a position where the target is fixed, the surprisingness and the dynamics are poor, and since the operation position of the water gun is fixed, the activity that the gamer moves around is difficult. However, there was a problem that it was not interesting.

[0005] The present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned problems of the conventional technology, and aims at making it easy for anyone to enjoy the target moving speed, Outdoor game toys with complexity and surprisingness, as well as dynamic games, taking into account the fun of gamers moving around using their feet, and playing games on artificial turf that is nature oriented. Even so, it is an attempt to provide attractive game toys.

[0006]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 In order to achieve the above object, the toy according to the present invention includes a water-permeable game board covered with a water-permeable artificial turf, a fence around the water-proof game board, a goal and a game board at opposite positions of the game board. It consists of a game table with a water collecting structure and a target ball and a non-fixed water gun with a trigger to move it with a jet stream.

It is desirable to provide obstacles at various points on the game board that hinder simple movement of the ball.

Further, it is preferable to use a water gun connected to a water gun suction port at a discharge port of a pressure storage tank capable of pressurizing water with an air pressurizing pump.

[0009]

[Embodiment of the invention]

 An embodiment of the invention will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is an image diagram of a game using one embodiment of the present invention. This shows a game and a toy in which one or more opposing gamers move the ball 5 with the water gun 7 to enter the opponent's goal 2 with the center line 8 as a boundary.

[0010] The game board 1 is covered with artificial turf, and the surrounding area is provided with an enclosure 26 having a height necessary to prevent the ball 5 from protruding outside. The enclosure 26 also serves as an upper portion of a side plate of a game table, which is a support for the toy.

The height of the game table 12, that is, the height from the floor above the enclosure 26, is such that the water gun 7 held in the hand of the gamer easily enters the game board 1 beyond the enclosure 26, and The height is easy to aim at 5.

The goal 2 provided at an opposing position on the game board 1 is large enough to receive the ball 5 and has a structure in which the entered ball 5 is taken out.

The structures constituting the game toys such as the game board 1, the goal 2 and the enclosure 26 and the game table 12 supporting them are made of metal, wood, plastics or the like alone or in combination with materials. create. Furthermore, if the game toy is assembled, it is convenient for movement and storage.

The number of the opposing gamers and the number of the opposing water guns 7 do not necessarily have to be the same. If there is a difference in the ability of the opposing gamers, the number of the gamers is adjusted to reduce the difference. It is preferable to adjust each other's handicap by using two water guns 7 alone. In addition, each hand can be adjusted with the water gun 7 of different performance.

The water gun 7 is not fixed and can move freely with the gamer. Usually, the water gun 7 is above the center line 8 drawn on the floor along the bisector of the board passing through the center of the game board 1. A line that the gamer cannot cross is set, and the player's range of action is from this line to his side. In addition, this line can be moved to the own side by a distance equal to each other from the center line 8 under the water pressure of the water gun 7 and other conditions, thereby limiting the range of movement of the water gun.

As another embodiment of the present invention, as shown in the plan view of FIG. 2 and the sectional views of FIGS. 3 and 4, the game board 1 is made of artificial turf 4 laid on a game base 27. Be composed. If the used water accumulates on this surface, comfortable movement of the ball 5 is hindered, so that the artificial turf 4 having a void is used so that the ball 5 can be drained quickly. If the sheet-shaped artificial turf is difficult to drain, a large number of drain holes of several millimeters may be provided at various places on the artificial turf 4 so as not to hinder the movement of the ball 5, or a cutter knife may be used. Use artificial turf 4 that has been cut to allow easy drainage. In order to quickly drain the water that has passed through the artificial turf 4, a plurality of water holes 21 of several millimeters to several centimeters are provided at various places on the game board 27. Since there are a large number of water holes 21 shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, it is difficult to accurately show the water holes 21. Therefore, several water holes 21 appearing in the cross section are schematically represented. Therefore, the illustration of the hidden water hole with a dotted line is omitted. Water holes in other drawings have the same expression. The water hole 21 is set to a shape or size that does not hinder the movement of the ball 1 on the surface of the artificial turf 4, such as a circle or a slit. Further, the game base 27 may be made of a slug-shaped object, a plate having a bee-nose structure, or a water-permeable plate molded in a mesh shape with plastics.

If the drainage drips from the entire lower part of the game board 1, the floor will be flooded more than necessary. In order to avoid this, the entire lower part of the game board 1 may be a tank. However, as shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, a collecting funnel 3 is provided at the lower part of the game board 1 to collect drainage and collect water. If the lower part of the water funnel 3 is a drain or a place suitable for drainage, drain the water as it is. Otherwise, the gutter or the drain pipe 13 shown in FIGS. 3 and 4 is extended and led to a drain or the like. However, in the case of a hot summer, such as in summer, if necessary, some or all of the water can flow down to the floor to cool the surroundings.

The ball 5 is an ordinary volleyball, soccer ball, rubber ball, plastic transparent ball, or a transparent ball containing water, colored water, a bell or the like. In addition, a rollable polyhedral structure may be substituted.

The enclosure 26 shown in FIGS. 3, 4 and 5 is for preventing the ball 5 from protruding from the game board 1, and also serves as the upper part of the side plate of the game table. However, the enclosure 26 does not necessarily need to be used also as a game table as described above, and may be constituted by a string or a bar stretched sideways around the upper part of the game board 1 or a fence, fence or net. good.

The goal 2 has a space and a size in which the ball 5 can enter. The goal 2 in the example of FIG. 1 has a canopy above the goal, but an example without the canopy is shown in FIGS. 4 and 5. The ball 5 enters from the top of the goal 2 and falls down. The ball outlet 14 provided on the back side of the goal 2 is not always necessary, but is convenient for taking out the ball 5. Also, instead of the plate structure as in this example, if a structure in which a net is hung on a frame structure of metal or the like is used, an actual ball game feeling can be obtained. The goal 2 does not necessarily have to have a space into which the ball 5 can enter, and may be a plate-like or rod-like object that emits sound or light when the ball 5 touches the goal. Further, it is not always necessary to have an enclosure for receiving the ball 5 as in this example, and a golf ball without an enclosure may be used.

In order to make the game more interesting, obstacles 9 are symmetrically placed at the center point 19 of the game board 1 as shown in FIG. The illustrated obstacle 9 is a rotary object that changes the traveling direction of the ball 5 while rotating when the ball 5 is touched. However, it does not have to be a rotary type. For example, it may be a symmetrical shape such as a rod, a cylinder, a cone, a prism, a pyramid, a sphere, a hemisphere, or an asymmetrical non-rotating model such as an animal or fruit. . Usually, the ball 5 is fixed so as not to move or has a weight that does not easily move. However, in order to make the game interesting, the object may move when hit by the ball in some cases. The installation does not need to be of the same kind, and these may be mixed and installed. Normally, the same thing is placed symmetrically at the center point 19 of the game board 1 so as not to be disadvantageous to each other's gamers, but the gamer has a difference in ability like children versus adults. In some cases, it is preferable to install the unit so that a handy person is added to the person with the better ability.

As shown in the cross-sectional view of FIG. 7, an example of the installation of the rotary obstacle is a hole 20 installed in the game base 27 through the artificial turf 4 from the lower part of the doll model of the obstacle 9. The rotating obstacle 9 that changes the traveling direction of the ball 5 while rotating when the ball 5 comes into contact with the extended rotation support rod 22 is inserted into the center point 19 of the game board 1 as shown in the plan view of FIG. Is symmetrically placed. The model of the obstacle is a model of a doll, an animal, a fruit, or the like, and is simply a plate-like object including a rotation axis like the obstacle 9. A plate-shaped object may be configured as a blade in four directions or four directions. Further, the components need not be flat plate-like, but may be a three-dimensional model.

As shown in FIG. 2, a water gun 7 having a trigger 6 capable of freely controlling the discharge of water flow is generally made of plastics or metal.

As for the water source of the water gun 7, if the water gun has a water storage tank pressurized by an air pump, the water is sucked and used each time, but the water supply may be directly connected. Further, a water source pressurized by a dedicated pump from another water tank may be used.

FIG. 8 shows an example of water circulation. Used water is collected in the water storage tank 15 by the collecting funnel 3, pressurized by the circulating pump 17 through the cock 16 through the water pipe 25, regulated by the pressure reducing valve 18, and then supplied to the water gun 7 by the pressurized water recycling system. Is desirable from the viewpoint of saving water resources. In this case, it is preferable that the pressure reducing valve 18 be adjusted to a water pressure suitable for the weight and size of the ball 5 and also installed to prevent an accident at a high pressure. Even when the pressure reducing valve 18 uses pressurized water from the above-mentioned water supply or a pump from another water tank, when the pressure is high, it is better to install it from the viewpoint of safety.

In order to make the game more interesting, a system for supplying pressurized water to the water gun 7 with an iron or plastic accumulator storage tank 11 having an air pressurizing pump 10 as shown in FIG. Is preferred.

FIG. 9 shows an example of the pressurized water supply system. The air pressurizing pump 10 pressurizes the air 28 in the accumulating water tank 11 and supplies water 29 to the water gun 7 through the pipe 30 connecting the discharge port 24 to the water suction port 23 with the pressure. This air pressurization pump does not need to be operated all the time, and once a certain level of pressurized air is obtained, it can be stopped until water is used and the pressure drops.

[Effect of the invention]

 Since the present invention is configured as described above, the following effects are exhibited.

In the game toy of the first aspect, since the target ball 5 has an appropriate moving speed that anyone can enjoy, the game can be enjoyed, and an effort to avoid splashes is added to make the game interesting. In addition, it has a cool feeling due to water and splashes, so it is suitable for outdoor activities, especially for events such as summer events. The artificial turf 4 that covers the game board provides nature-oriented comfort. In addition, the water permeability of the game board 1 prevents water from flowing on the game surface and makes the movement of the ball 5 comfortable. Furthermore, the water collecting structure of the water collecting funnel 3 below the game board 1 prevents an unpleasant feeling that the feet become unnecessarily flooded, and provides an attractive and comfortable game.

In the game toy according to the second aspect, the obstacles 9 provided at various places on the game board 1 impede the simple movement of the ball 5 to give appropriate complexity and difficulty. The unexpectedness that No. 5 goes in an unexpected direction is produced, and the game becomes more interesting.

In the game toy according to the third aspect, by using the pressure accumulating water storage tank 11, when the game is started all together at the start after all the members are pressurized by the air pump, if the water is used too soon, the game is stopped. It is predicted that water will run out and water must be stopped and pumping must be performed.Therefore, it is necessary to have a mental play in the method of water discharging and team cooperation, and to develop more attractive games. I can do it. In addition, various rules can be set, such as a method of starting air pressurization at the same time as the start of the game, or setting of a water gun charge person and an air pressurization charge person, making the game more interesting and It can be attractively directed.
