DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a hit-type game machine which competes for points by hitting a target moving on a field formed on a housing.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Mole-striking game machines are widely used. In this type of game machine, a target imitating a mole or the like is appropriately protruded from a field board formed on a game machine housing, and the protruding target is hit with a wooden hammer or the like by a player (player). Hit with a tool,
Compete for the number of hits.

[0003] In a basic beating game machine, a flat field board is fixedly mounted on a housing, and a target simply protrudes or falls into the installed field board. Therefore, there is a remarkable restriction on the movement on the game field, and there is a limit to the fun as a game.

[0004] In order to diversify the movement, the applicant of the present invention has previously disclosed a utility model registration No. 2581511 in which a field panel formed in a cylindrical shape and provided with a plurality of target passage holes, and a field panel by itself are disclosed. Field plate rotating means for rotating around the central axis of the field plate, rotating around the central axis of the field plate integrally with the field plate, and further projecting to the outside of the field plate through the target passage hole or the field plate. We have proposed a target hitting game machine characterized by having a target evacuating to the inside.

[0005]

With such a configuration, the target rotates with the rotation of the field board, and protrudes to the outside of the field board at an appropriate timing during the rotation. The movement of the target on the aircraft has been diversified, and the fun as a game has been improved.

[0006] However, even though the field board rotates, the number of target passage holes is relatively limited in the field range that appears in front of the player on the game machine. Moreover, the number of targets protruding from the hole is even smaller. Since the game hits only the prominent target, the number of targets that can be hit is still considerably limited in number.

Accordingly, the present invention provides a method of significantly increasing the number of targets that can be hit, increasing the degree of excitement by increasing the number of hits, and further drawing out the fun as a game with a hit-type game machine. Make it an issue.

[0008]

The object of the present invention is to provide a beating type game machine having a device housing, a field body housed in the housing and exposing a playable surface, and a plurality of targets to be hit. The field body is constituted by a plurality of partial field bodies juxtaposed to each other,
This is solved by arranging a plurality of targets in tandem on the outer surface of each partial field body.

[0009] It is preferable that the target arranged in the partial field body has a different moving speed for each partial field body. If the moving speed of the target is variable, it is more effective.

The partial field body includes an endless belt, a roller group that stretches the endless belt and deflects a moving direction of the belt surface to a predetermined angle, and a movement supporting device that supports a target that moves along the endless belt. It is good to be comprised including. Further, it is preferable that each target is provided with a display means for indicating whether or not it is possible to hit.

[0011]

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS The details of the present invention will be described based on an example shown in the drawings. FIG. 1 shows an embodiment of a beating game machine according to the present invention. The game machine basically includes a housing 1, a score display unit 2 disposed on the upper surface thereof, and a field body 3 that is housed inside the housing and exposes a surface on which tapping play is possible. . Although the score display unit 2 is disposed on the upper surface of the housing in the illustrated example, it is not limited to that position, and can be disposed at an appropriate position such as the front surface of the housing.

In the field body 3, as shown in FIG. 1, a large number of targets 4 imitating a creature character are present on the surface, and these targets 4 appear from below the score display unit 2, and It moves so as to descend on the rising surface and proceed immediately before a player (not shown). In the example shown in the figure, it is configured to move in five columns. Also, the field body exposed surface, which is a playable surface, is composed of a rising surface and a horizontal surface, but may be composed of only a horizontal surface or may be composed of only a simple inclined surface.

FIG. 2 shows a configuration example of the partial field body 30 for moving the target 4 for each row. In this figure, only four targets 4 are shown for convenience, but as shown in FIG. 1, they can be arranged more closely in front and back. The partial field body 30 includes an endless belt 31 forming a partial field surface, and the endless belt 3.
1 comprises a driving roller 32, a driven roller 33, a large deflecting roller 34 and two small deflecting rollers 35, and an endless chain 36 which holds a plurality of targets 4 in tandem and rotates and moves together with the belt 31. I have. Chain 3
When the part holding the target at 6 extends to the back side of the belt 31, each of the rollers 32, 33, and 34 has a concave portion in the center region so as not to hinder the movement of the target. (Large deflection rollers are shown slightly). Or, like a small deflection roller, the belt 3
One roller may be divided into one width direction and each roller may be configured as a pair of rollers.

The driving roller 32 for driving the endless belt 31 may be configured to transmit a driving force from an independent driving source for each partial field member.
Alternatively, the driving force may be transmitted from a common driving source via a known gear transmission device. The moving speed may be different for each endless belt of each partial field body, and the moving speed of each endless belt is changed appropriately, so that the movement of the target on the field surface can be varied. It is possible to improve the fun of the game. As described above, the configuration itself of the variable drive source for changing the moving speed and the switchable gear transmission device is known, and thus the description is omitted here.

FIG. 3 shows an example of a structure for attaching the target 4 to the chain 36. A support arm 40 having one end attached to a target 4 imitating a creature character so as to be rotatable in a vertical plane has the other end fixed to one of the links 37 of the chain 36 with a slight swinging property.
In the example shown, the rocking property supports the target 4 horizontally when the chain is displaced along the slightly inclined rising surface of the field body, and displaces the chain along the horizontal surface of the field body. In some cases, the support is vertical. However, this rocking property is not an essential element for the present invention, and the supporting arm 40
May be rigidly fixed so that is always vertical.
When the target 4 moves with the movement of the chain 36, the target 4 always faces the player at least as long as the target 4 is located on the hit playable field surface exposed from the housing. A balance weight 41 is attached to the bottom surface of.

FIG. 4 shows a structure for recognizing that the target has been hit. A head frame portion 43 for forming the shape of the target 4 and a bar 45 housed in the target and extending to the balance weight are connected to each other by a retaining pin 46, and a compression spring 47 is disposed between the two. ing. A sensor 48, for example, a microswitch, is fixed to the outer peripheral side surface of the bar 45, while a detection piece 49 is fixed to the lower end of the central cylindrical sleeve of the head frame portion 43.

The operation of the hit-type game machine configured as described above will be described below. When the game is started, the endless belt 31 rotates so that the target 4 rises and descends on the field surface and advances on the horizontal field surface. At this time, the partial field bodies of five rows shown in FIG. 1 can be driven at an arbitrary speed independently of each other.

The player hits the moving target from above using an appropriate hitting tool. When the target's head is hit with an appropriate force and angle, in FIG. 4, the head frame portion 43 descends against the spring force of the compression spring 47, and then instantaneously moves upward by the spring force of the compression spring 47. Move back to. The detection piece 49 also moves downward as the head frame portion 43 descends, and is detected by the sensor 48. With this detection, it is determined that the target 4 has been hit, and the fact is displayed on the score display unit 2, and the score is added.

The hit-type game machine according to the present invention can be used at any time as long as the target is on the field surface exposed from the housing 1.
It is possible to hit the target any number of times.
In order to avoid a situation in which the game is spoiled by repeatedly hitting only one target and increasing the score, for example, the target is configured to be lit, and the score is recognized or hit only when the lit target is hit. The target is lit, or
The internal structure of the target of the creature character shown in is slightly changed, and the target that was struck has its spring part shrunk and controlled so that it will not be counted even if it is hit again until it disappears from the exposed field surface. You may.

[0020]

According to the present invention, the field body exposing the playable surface is constituted by a plurality of partial field bodies juxtaposed to each other, and a plurality of targets are formed on the outer surface of each partial field body. Since they are arranged in tandem, it is possible to greatly increase the number of targets that can be hit, and it is possible to increase the excitement by increasing the number of hits, making it interesting as a game with a hit type game machine Can be further extracted.

If the moving speed of the target arranged in the partial field body is different for each of the partial field bodies, or if the moving speed of the target is variable, the movement of the target on the field surface can be varied. It is possible to further improve the fun as a game.
