Detailed Description

Hereinafter, a game device according to the present invention will be described based on an embodiment shown in the drawings.

Integral Structure

Fig. 1 is a perspective view of a game board 110.

The game device 100 of the present embodiment includes a game board 110. The game board 110 is used in a flat state.

In the game board 110, there are provided: a starting point S, a sawtooth step 10, a seesaw passage 20, a ferris wheel labyrinth 30, a transfer bar 40, a ramp 50, a launching stage 60, a basin 70, an inclined passage 80, and a final ramp 90, and a finishing point G.

Further, on the game board 110, on the near side, from right to left are provided in order: a first operation member 1a, a second operation member 1b, a third operation member 1c, a fourth operation member 1d, a fifth operation member 1e, and a sixth operation member 1 f.

Then, in the game board 110, the first operating element 1a, the second operating element 1B, the third operating element 1c, the fourth operating element 1d, the fifth operating element 1e, and the sixth operating element 1f are appropriately operated, and the metal ball B is conveyed from the starting point S to the end point G. The ball B may be made of resin instead of metal, but in order to reliably lead from the starting point S to the end point G, a somewhat heavy ball is preferable.

Detailed Structure

1. Starting point S

A hole 111 capable of holding the ball B is provided at the starting point S. As shown in fig. 2, a lever 11 having a first operation element 1a connected to a tip end portion thereof is disposed below the hole 111. The lever 11 is configured to be rotatable about a shaft 11a, and a protrusion 12 attached to the lever 11 is positioned below the hole 111.

The first operation element 1a is a push button type operation element, and when the first operation element 1a is pushed down, the ball B placed at the starting point S is hit by the upper end of the protrusion 12, and the ball B is hit toward the sawtooth step 10.

2. Sawtooth step 10

The sawtooth step 10 is formed by left and

right steps

13a, 13b arranged side by side. The left step 13a is a fixed step, and the right step 13b is a movable step which moves up and down. The width and depth dimensions of the step portions of the left and

right steps

13a, 13b are set to be equal in the left and

right steps

13a, 13 b. The step portions of the left and

right steps

13a, 13b have a slightly downward slope toward the inner side, and the step portions of the left and

right steps

13a, 13b have a slightly downward slope toward the other step. Further, a curb-like wall is provided at the edge of the step portion of the left and right steps 13a, 13B, and a notch is appropriately provided in the wall, so that the ball B easily falls from the notch.

In addition, the vertical plate portions of the left and

right steps

13a, 13b are formed to be shifted in position in the depth direction.

Further, the abutment portion 14 of the lever 11 is located below the right step 13 b.

And, by the operation of the first operating member 1a, the ball B placed on the left and right steps 13a, 13B alternately jumps onto the step portions of the left and right steps 13a, 13B and is guided from the step portion of the uppermost stage of the left step 13a into the seesaw passage 20.

3. Seesaw channel 20

As shown in FIG. 3, the surface of the seesaw passage 20 is U-shaped. In the seesaw passage 20, after the ball B comes and goes on a U-shaped road surface, the ball B is guided to a passage 31 in front of the ferris labyrinth 30 from a notch 22 attached to a wall 21 of the seesaw passage 20 when the movement is weakened. The passage 31 is inclined downward toward the ferris wheel labyrinth 30.

4. Ferris wheel maze 30

The ferris wheel labyrinth 30 is constituted by a drum 32. The drum 32 is provided such that the center axis extends in the front-rear direction. As shown in fig. 4, a ball inlet 32a (see fig. 1) formed by a notch is formed in the circumferential surface of the drum 32. In addition, a wall 32b having various shapes constituting a labyrinth is formed inside the drum 32, and a ball outlet 32c is formed upright on the bottom (end plate) of the drum 32. The roller 32 is coupled to a third manipulator 1c via a transfer rod 40 described later. Although the front end of the drum 32 is open, a transparent plate for preventing the balls B from falling off may be attached to the front end.

The third operating element 1c is a rotary operating element, and the drum 32 is rotated by rotating the third operating element 1 c. Thereby, the ball B is introduced from the ball introduction port 32a into the drum 32, and is led out from the ball discharge port 32c to the passage 33 through the labyrinth.

The passage 33 extends in the width direction of the game board 110 toward the left and has a downward slope. As shown in fig. 5, a duct 34 extending in the front-rear direction is connected to the left end of the duct 33. The channel 34 is forward facing and has a downward slope. A hole 34a is formed at the front end of the passage 34. The hole 34a communicates with a hole (not shown) formed in a wall of the partition forming passage 34, the wall being opposed to the transfer bar 40.

Thus, the ball B led out to the passage 33 from the ball outlet 32c is guided to the passage 35 serving as an underground passage disposed below the conveyance bar 40 through the passage 33 and the passage 34 via the hole 34a of the passage 34. The channel 35 is a U-shaped channel in the same manner as the seesaw channel 20, and the ball B guided into the channel 35 is guided to the lower side of the transfer bar 40 through the channel 36 having the hairpin bend portion by its momentum.

5. The transfer bar 40

The feed rod 40 is a member provided with a spiral protrusion on the surface of the shaft 41. The shaft 41 of the feed bar 40 is provided to extend in the front-rear direction with the rear end being slightly lower than the front end. The shaft 41 of the feed rod 40 has a front end connected to the third operating element 1c and a rear end connected to the roller 32.

A first guide member 42 for causing the ball B to approach from below the feed rod 40 toward the side and a second guide member 43 for causing the ball B to ascend are provided in the vicinity of the feed rod 40.

The first guide member 42 constitutes a wall that is inclined with respect to the shaft 41 of the conveying rod 40 so as to extend from below the conveying rod 40 toward the side in a plan view (see fig. 5 and 6B). The upper end portions of the first guide members 42 have the same height in the extending direction. The front end of the first guide member 42 is coupled to the second guide member 43.

The second guide member 43 constitutes a wall extending in the front-rear direction in parallel with the shaft 41 of the feed bar 40 in a plan view. The upper end of the second guide member 43 is gradually higher toward the front except for the front end (see fig. 6A). This portion constitutes an inclined guide. In addition, the upper surface of the second guide member 43 is inclined downward toward the carry bar 40 except for the discharge portion of the balls B (see fig. 7A). The inclined surface is denoted by reference numeral 43 a. The descending slope is set to press the ball B against the feed rod 40. On the other hand, the upper end portion of the second guide member 43 has a substantially constant height at the tip end portion, and is inclined upward toward the conveyance bar 40 in the ball B discharge portion at the tip end portion (see fig. 6A and 7B). The inclined surface is denoted by reference numeral 43 b. The upward inclination is provided to discharge the ball B loaded on the tip end portion to the outside of the transfer bar 40.

As shown in fig. 16A, according to the first guide member 42 and the second guide member 43 configured as described above, the ball B located below the conveyance bar 40 is gradually pushed out to the side of the conveyance bar 40 by the first guide member 42 by the rotation of the conveyance bar 40 in one direction, the ball B is mounted above the second guide member 43, and thereafter, the ball B gradually rises while moving around the shaft 41 by sliding contact with the upper end portion of the second guide member 43 and the shaft 41.

Then, the ball B is discharged to the outside of the conveying rod 40 at the position of the inclined surface 43B of the tip end portion of the second guide member 43, and is guided to the ramp 50. When the ball B is mounted on the distal end portion of the carry rod 40, a portion immediately below the center of gravity of the ball B is preferably mounted on the inclined surface 43B. Here, the inclined surface 43b is provided continuously with the inclined surface 43a with a step so that a downward slope of the inclined surface 43a becomes an upward slope, but a boundary portion where the inclination is reversed may be flat without being inclined, or the inclination may be gradually reversed. That is, the downward inclination may be gradually reduced, and the upward inclination may be achieved through a state of no inclination.

6. Diving platform 50

As shown in fig. 8, the diving tower 50 includes three

impact cylinders

51a, 51b, and 51 c. The heights of the

shock tubes

51a, 51b, and 51c are set so that the shock tube 51a is the lowest and the shock tube 51c is the highest.

A lifting body 53 is disposed below the ramp 50. In the vertically movable body 53, protruding

portions

53a, 53b, and 53c are provided so as to stand in one-to-one correspondence with the

impact cylinders

51a, 51b, and 51 c. The upper ends of the

projections

53a, 53b are inclined to have a downward gradient toward the front. In addition, the upper end of the protruding portion 53c is inclined to the left with a downward gradient. Also, the three

projections

53a, 53b, 53c face the

corresponding impact cylinders

51a, 51b, 51 c. The heights of the

projections

53a, 53b, and 53c are set so that the projection 53a is the lowest and the projection 53c is the highest.

A lever 52 configured to be rotatable about a shaft 52a is disposed below the vertically movable body 53. A second operation element 1b serving as a push button type operation element is attached to a front end portion of the lever 52, and a contact portion 53d that contacts the vertically movable body 53 is attached to a rear end portion. When the second operation element 1B is pressed, the ascending/descending body 53 is pushed up via the lever 52, and the

protrusions

53a, 53B, and 53c hit the ball B.

With this jump table 50, the ball B from the carry rod 40 is first loaded on the impact cylinder 51 a. Thereafter, the second operation element 1b is pushed down, and the second operation element sequentially jumps toward the

shock tubes

51b and 51 c. Further, the ball B loaded on the impact cylinder 51c passes over the carry rod 40 by the pressing operation of the second operation element 1B, hits a semi-cylindrical collecting portion 55c attached to the third guide member 55, and falls between the third guide member 55 and the carry rod 40. Then, the upper end portion of the third guide member 55 and the shaft 41 of the conveying rod 40 support the ball B from below.

The third guide member 55 forms a wall, is located on the side of the front half of the conveyance bar 40, has an upward slope toward the rear with respect to the shaft 41 in a side view (see fig. 9), and is inclined in a direction approaching the conveyance bar 40 from the front toward the rear of the conveyance bar 40 in a plan view (see fig. 1). When the third manipulating element 1c is rotated in the clockwise direction as shown in fig. 16B, the ball B gradually rises while moving around the shaft 41 by sliding contact with the upper end portion of the third guide member 55 and the shaft 41, falls through a notch 55a located at the middle portion in the front-rear direction of the conveyance bar 40, and is discharged to the launching platform 60 (see fig. 9) outside the conveyance bar 40.

The third guide member 55 is provided so as to have an upward slope rearward with respect to the shaft 41 in side view and to be inclined in a direction approaching the conveying rod 40 from the front toward the rear of the conveying rod 40 in plan view. In summary, the ball B moves around the shaft 41 by the rotation of the feed rod 40. Thus, the ball B is not stably supported, and a game having a sense of urgency can be realized.

7. Launch pad 60

The launch pad 60 is shown in fig. 10. The radiation table 60 has a disk surface facing forward and a downward inclination (see fig. 11). The launching table 60 includes two

ball receiving portions

61 and 62. The ball receiving portion 61 constitutes the front end portion of the launching table 60, and has a width of about one ball B. The ball B from the transfer bar 40 is guided to the ball receiving portion 61. The ball receiving portion 62 is located at the center of the disk surface of the launching base 60, and has a U-shape in plan view.

Below the launching table 60, a slide plate 65 that moves in the front-rear direction is provided. The slide plate 65 is biased rearward by a spring 66. The fourth operation element 1d is coupled to the front end of the slide plate 65. The fourth operation member 1d is configured to be slidable in the front-rear direction. In the fourth operation element 1d, the hitting

portions

66a, 66b are provided in one-to-one correspondence with the

ball receiving portions

61 and 62.

Then, when the fourth operation element 1d is pulled and the handle is released, the ball B in the ball receiving portion 61 is popped up by the hitting portion 66a, the ball B is mounted on the ball receiving portion 62, and when the fourth operation element 1d is pulled again and the handle is released, the ball B in the ball receiving portion 62 is popped up by the hitting portion 66B, and is guided to the bowl 70 via the inclined surface 64.

8. Basin 70

The ball B guided into the bowl 70 moves and rotates on the bowl 70, and is finally guided to the bottom. Two

holes

71a, 71b are formed in the bottom of the tub 70. Further, a column 72 (see fig. 5) for supporting the tub 70 is provided below the tub 70. Wherein a passage 73a communicating with the hole 71a is formed inside the cylinder 72, and the ball B entering the hole 71a is guided into the inclined passage 80. Further, a passage 73B communicating with the hole 71B is formed inside the column 72, and the ball B entering the hole 71B is guided between the rear end portion of the conveying rod 40 and the fourth guide member 77 via passages 74 to 76.

The fourth guide member 77 constitutes a wall, is located on the rear half portion side of the conveying rod 40, and is inclined in a direction approaching the conveying rod 40 from the rear side toward the front side of the conveying rod 40 in a plan view (see fig. 1). The upper end portion of the fourth guide member 77 has an upward slope with respect to the shaft 41 so that the ball B rises forward of the carry rod 40 when the third manipulating element 1c is rotated counterclockwise, except for the rear end portion. Then, as shown in fig. 16C, when the third operating element 1C is rotated counterclockwise, the ball B guided between the rear end portion of the transport rod 40 and the fourth guide member 77 gradually rises while moving around the shaft 41 by sliding contact with the upper end portion of the third guide member 55 and the shaft 41, falls off the notch 55a located at the middle portion in the front-rear direction of the transport rod 40, and is discharged to the launching table 60 outside the transport rod 40.

The fourth guide member 77 is provided so as to have an upward slope in side view with respect to the shaft 41 toward the front, and is inclined in a direction approaching the conveying bar 40 from the rear toward the front of the conveying bar 40 in top view. In summary, the ball B is moved by the rotation of the feed bar 40. Thus, the ball B is not stably supported, and a game having a sense of urgency can be realized.

9. Inclined channel 80

Fig. 12 is a top view of the angled passages 80. The inclined passage 80 includes a passage plate 82 in which a serpentine passage 81 is formed. The duct plate 82 is configured to be rotatable about a shaft 82a extending in the front-rear direction. As shown in fig. 13, a triangular projection 83 is provided below the passage plate 82. As shown in fig. 14, a lever 84 having a fifth operation element 1e attached to the tip thereof is provided below the dial surface. The lever 84 is configured to be rotatable about a shaft 84a extending in the vertical direction. One end of the rod 84 abuts against the projection 83.

The fifth operation member 1e is an operation member that slides to the left and right, and by operating the fifth operation member 1e to the left and right, the lever 84 rotates, and the inclined passage 80 tilts to the left and right.

10. Final diving platform 90

As shown in fig. 15, the final ramp 90 includes a pivot arm 91. The pivot arm 91 is configured to be pivotable about a shaft 91a extending in the width direction. A ball receiving portion 92 is provided at the front end of the rotating arm 91.

A lever 93 having a sixth operation element 1f attached to the front end is provided below the dial surface. The lever 93 is configured to be rotatable about a shaft 93a extending in the vertical direction. A projection 93b is provided at the rear end of the lever 93, and the projection 93b abuts against the pivot arm 91.

The sixth operation element 1f is a push button type operation element, and by pressing the sixth operation element 1f, the rotating arm 91 rotates, the ball B located in the ball receiving portion 92 enters the bell 120 at the end point G by the reverse rotation of the ball receiving portion 92, and the bell 121 rings.

Method of playing a game

The ball B is mounted on the starting point S, and the first operation element 1a is pressed. Thus, the ball B is mounted on the serration step 10. When the first operation element 1a is pressed in this state, only the right step 13b rises, and when the hand is separated from the first operation element 1a, the right step 13b falls. By the ascending and descending operation of the right step 13B, the ball B is alternately moved to the left and right steps 13a and 13B, and the ball B is moved to the uppermost stage of the left step 13 a. At this time, if the operation timing of the first operation element 1a is poor, the ball B falls off the saw-tooth step 10, or the ball B cannot be smoothly moved to the next step.

The ball B moved to the uppermost stage of the left step 13a is guided to the seesaw passage 20. In the seesaw passage 20, the ball B comes and goes in the seesaw passage 20, and is guided to the ferris wheel labyrinth 30 as the momentum decays. If the ball B reaches the ferris wheel labyrinth 30, the third operating member 1c is operated. When the third operating element 1c is rotationally operated, the drum 32 rotates, and the ball B is guided to the labyrinth in the drum 32. Then, the ball B is guided to the ball outlet 32c while the third operating element 1c is rotationally operated so as to pass through the labyrinth in one direction or the other direction. Then, the ball B is discharged from the ball outlet 32c to the passage 33. The balls B are then guided to the lower side of the conveying rod 40 through the passages 33 to 36.

Here, when the third operating element 1c is rotated counterclockwise, the ball B positioned below the feed rod 40 is pushed out to the side of the feed rod 40 by the first guide member 42, and the ball B is raised by the second guide member 43. Then, the ball B that has reached the tip end of the second guide member 43 falls off the second guide member 43 and is mounted on the impact cylinder 51a of the ramp 50. When the turning operation of the third operating element 1c is excessively accelerated, the ball B drops from the second guide member 43 in the middle and is not mounted on the impact cylinder 51a of the diving platform 50.

When the second operation element 1B is pressed in a state where the ball B is mounted on the impact cylinder 51a of the diving platform 50, the ball B jumps toward the impact cylinder 51B located immediately before. When the second operation element 1B is pressed again, the ball B is moved to the stroke cylinder 51c further forward. When the second operation element 1B is pressed with the ball B mounted on the impact cylinder 51c, the ball B is hit to the left, passes over the transfer bar 40, and falls between the third guide member 55 and the transfer bar 40. Further, if the operation of the second operation element 1B becomes weak, the ball B falls outside the travel path.

When the third manipulator 1c is rotated clockwise in a state where the ball B falls between the third guide member 55 and the feed rod 40, the ball B is conveyed rearward by cooperation with the third guide member 55 and the feed rod 40, and is guided from the notch 55a to the launching table 60. In this case, if the turning operation of the third operating element 1c is excessively accelerated, the ball B may fall from the third guide member 55 in the middle, and the ball B may fall out of the course.

The ball B guided to the launching platform 60 is guided to the ball receiving portion 61, and if the fourth operation element 1d is pulled and the handle is released in this state, the ball B smoothly enters the ball receiving portion 62. Then, when the fourth operation element 1d is pulled again and the handle is released, the ball B goes over the slope 64 and enters the basin 70. When the operation of the fourth operation element 1d is weakened, the ball B returns to the ball receiving portion 61.

The ball B entering the bowl 70 moves and rotates within the bowl 70, and enters either of the holes 71a and 71B when the momentum weakens. When the ball B enters the hole 71B, the ball B is guided between the rear end portion of the conveying rod 40 and the fourth guide member 77 through the passages 74 to 76.

In this state, when the third operating element 1c is rotated counterclockwise, the ball B is carried forward by cooperation with the fourth guide member 77 and the carry bar 40, and returns to the launching table 60 from the notch 55 a. In this case, if the turning operation of the third operating element 1c is excessively accelerated, the ball B may fall from the fourth guide member 77 in the middle, and the ball B may fall out of the course.

On the other hand, if the ball B enters the hole 71a, it is guided to the inclined passage 80. In this state, when the fifth operation element 1e is operated, the passage plate 82 moves obliquely to the left and right, and the ball B moves in the meandering passage 81. Then, if the ball B is successfully carried to the outlet, the ball B can be mounted on the ball receiving portion 92 of the pivot arm 91. Further, if the operation timing of the fifth operation member 1e is poor, it becomes difficult to escape from the inclined passage 80, or the ball B falls from the inclined passage 80.

When the ball B is mounted on the ball receiving portion 92 of the pivot arm 91, the sixth operation element 1f is pushed down. As a result, the rotating arm 91 rotates about the shaft 91a, the ball B enters the bell 120 at the end point G, and the bell 121 rings.

While the embodiments of the present invention have been described above, the present invention is not limited to the embodiments, and various modifications can be made without departing from the scope of the present invention.

In the above embodiment, two guide members, i.e., the first guide member 42 and the second guide member 43, are provided to raise the ball B from below the transfer bar 40 to above the transfer bar 40, but if the ball B is simply raised from the side of the transfer bar 40 to above the transfer bar 40, it is sufficient to provide one guide member having an upper end portion with an upward slope in the transfer direction with respect to the shaft 41 as in the case of the

third guide members

55 and 77. In this case, the guide member may extend parallel to the shaft 41 of the conveying rod 40 in a plan view. Or, a guide member may be provided so as to be formed close to the conveyance bar 40 in the conveyance direction in a plan view.
