Skill game

The invention is in the field of games of skill and relates to a simulated hockey game

The invention is based on a game of skill which has several players who are mounted on a base board in such a way that they can be moved in the direction of and from two gates attached to the opposite ends of the base board and can be pivoted relative to the base board. The improvement according to the invention consists in the fact that for each simulated player a control button is arranged outside along the sides of the base board, which a user of the game can grasp and rotate both about an axis perpendicular to the reciprocating movement of the simulated players and in the direction of the back. and reciprocating, there being a drive connection between the operating buttons and the simulated players in order to pivot the players by turning the buttons _e

An embodiment of the invention is described with reference to the accompanying drawings. Show it

Figo1 is a perspective view of a simulated Hookey games according to the invention;

Pig 2 is a partial top view of the simulated hookey game of FIG. 1 on an enlarged scale with parts of the base board cut away to show functional components inside.

Fig. 3 is a partial view near the line 3-3 of Fig. 21

Fig. 4 is a perspective view of a common holder for the simulated players, the control buttons and the drive elements o

The game of skill according to the invention is in the drawings shown as a simulated hockey game having a plurality of simulated players 10 having a sole member 10a for propelling a puck-like object 12 (FIG. 1) over a flat, horizontal playing field 14 · The playing field is part of a base board, which is denoted by 16 as a whole. The base board 16 is preferably cast It has near above standing walls 18 which delimit the playing field 14, and two goals 20, which are at both ends of the playing field 14 and the base board 16 are arranged. Between the upstanding walls 18 and the periphery of the base board 16 a flat horizontal edge field 22 is formed ·

For each simulated player 10 an upstanding control button 24 is provided, which is arranged along the edge field 22 of the base board and causes both the reciprocating movement and the pivoting movement of the simulated player 10, as will be described in more detail. In the playing field 14 is for A sole seat 26 is provided for each simulated player 10 and a sole seat 28 is provided in the edge field 22 of the base board 16 for each control button.

forms. The purpose of this passage will be described in more detail.

A common holder is shown in perspective in FIG. 4, which is designated as a whole by 30. First, he connects the control buttons 24 with their associated simulated players 10 in a manner to be described in more detail in such a way that a displacement of the buttons in the direction of an arrow A in Fig. 2 causes a corresponding displacement of the associated simulated players 10 in the direction of the arrow B in Fig. 2 ο Secondly, each common holder 30 carries a connecting gear train, which is designated as a whole with 32 in Fig. d _o i. clockwise or counter-clockwise) and also around a vertical axis ο

The common holders 30 are fastened under the baseboard 16 (and the playing field 14) with the aid of several upstanding legs 34 and 36, which cooperate with the slots 26 and 28, respectively, in order to move the common holders 30 in the direction of arrows A and B. and forth to and thereby the operation buttons 24 and the simulated player 10 mitzufüh "ren _e the leg 34 of a common holder 30 protrudes through one of the slots 26 in the field 14 to the top and has a hook 34a (Figures 2 and 4), which rests on the playing field, each of the legs 36 (four pieces or two pairs are shown in the drawings) of the common holder 30 protrudes through a sole seat 28 in the edge field 22 of the base board 16 and has a hook 36a with which it rests on the upper side of the edge field 22. The hooks 34a and 36a of the legs 34 and 36, respectively, hold the common holders

30 bo that this is on the underside of the base board 16 hang, as can be clearly seen in Figo3. Preferably at least the legs 36 are made of a sufficiently elastic Material made so that they snap into the slots 28 to the common holder on the base board in the to fasten in the Figo2 and 3 position shown

The gear train 32, which simulates the pivoting movement of the Player 10 caused by turning the control buttons 24 can best be seen in FIGS. 2 and 3. It shows first gear 38, a second gear as an intermediate gear 40 and a third gear 42 on "on each common holder 30, a gear 42 is rotatably supported about a vertical pin 44. It has a rod 38a (Fig.3) which passes through an associated slot 26 protrudes upwards and a hub 46 attached to the associated simulated player 10 (FIG. 3) records. In this way the simulated player turns with the gear 42 »

The gear 38 is rotatable on the common holder 30 about a vertically upwardly projecting pin 48 (FIGS. 3 and 4) mounted and has a hub 49 for receiving a downwardly protruding pin 50 of the associated control button 24, such as can best be seen in Figure 3. In this way, the operating knob rotates together with the gear 38.

The intermediate gear wheel 40 is also on the common holder around a third upstanding pin 52 (Fig. 3 and 4) rotatably supported and meshes with the two toothed wheels 38 and 42, so that when the toothed wheel 38 in the desired direction (for example in the direction of the arrow 0 in Fig. 2), caused by a rotation of the corresponding control button 24 in the same direction, the intermediate gear 40 in the direction of arrow E.

109821/0065

rotates and so that the gear 42 is rotated in the direction of arrow D o

So it can be clearly seen that a turn of the control knob 24 a corresponding rotation in the same direction of the associated simulated player 10 in each direction causes ^ In this way a user of the game can easily adapt his reflex movements, because the coordinating Gear train lets the simulated players pivot in the same direction at the same time as the control knobs are turned.

The function when playing the game is based on the one described above Construction stands out without further ado. In the embodiment of the drawings, there are four simulated players 10 shown. However, any desired number of players can be used on a correspondingly large G-round board. In the example shown, either 2 or 4 people can play the game. If 2 people play, needs both hands to operate the two control buttons at both ends of the base board 16, on the one hand to operate the to defend the nearest goal 20 and on the other hand the puck 12 to the other goal at the opposite end of the playing field 14 · When four people are playing the game, each operation button is operated by its own player operated with one hand
