Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an amusement facility for children to be installed in recreational areas such as amusement parks and parks, and recreational areas.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, as a main game facility, there is one disclosed in, for example, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. HEI 8-126679, in which a plurality of balloons are arranged in a space partitioned by a partition member. The balloon is disturbed by flowing air in the space.

[0003]

However, in the above-mentioned conventional amusement facilities, there are cases where the children are not interested because the balloons are merely dancing slowly and the change is poor.

[0004] In addition, merely disturbing the balloons is preferable because, when a plurality of children are playing together, a phenomenon occurs in which one child plays with several other children hitting the balloons. There was another problem.

Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide a game facility that can be changed and attracts interest, and a game facility that can be enjoyed by all persons who play in the game facility.

[0006]

An object of the present invention is to dispose a plurality of balls in a space partitioned by a partition member, and discharge the balls from the space.
And a launching device for launching the ejected ball back into the space.

[0007] The firing device is characterized in that it has a blower for applying wind pressure to the ball discharged from the discharge passage, and a firing passage for guiding the ball, which has been subjected to the wind pressure by the blower, into the space.

The opening inside the space of the discharge passage is
The mouth of a character doll arranged in the space may be used.

It is preferable that a ball take-out port for taking out the ball by hand is formed in the middle of the firing path.

[0010]

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION A preferred embodiment of a game facility according to the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a vertical front view of a play facility, and FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional plan view. Amusement facilities 1 are air mats, nets,
A plurality of balls 2 are laid in a space S partitioned by a partition member such as a steel frame or a urethane mat.

In the illustrated example, an air mat 3 is provided at the bottom, and a cushion material such as a urethane mat 5 is wound around columns 4 standing at four corners, and a vinyl sheet 6 and a net 7 are surrounded around the columns 4 so as to surround the columns 4. Is stretched to form a rectangular parallelepiped. The shape of the amusement facility 1 is not limited to the rectangular parallelepiped as shown in the figure, and various forms such as a dome shape, a polygonal shape, and a circular shape can be adopted. Ball 2 used for the main play facility
It is preferable to use a light and soft ball such as a rubber ball, a color ball, a cushion ball, a balloon, or the like which is filled with air.

In the amusement facility 1, a discharge port 10 for discharging the ball 2 from the space S is formed at the bottom of the side wall of the space S. The discharge port 10 communicates with a firing device 12 installed outside the play facility through a discharge passage 11. The discharge passage 11 preferably has a configuration in which the ball 3 entering the discharge port 10 is naturally rolled and discharged to the firing device 12 by giving a downward inclination toward the firing device 12.

Further, it is preferable to lay the number of balls 2 so as to cover the entire bottom of the amusement facility 1 so that the balls 2 in the space S are easily discharged from the discharge port 10. When the outlet 10 is disposed only on one side of the game facility 1 as shown in FIG. 2, the air mat 3 forming the bottom of the game facility 1 is inclined slightly downward toward the outlet 10. You may. The discharge port 10 of the discharge passage 11 is also provided at the upper position of the side wall, and can be a port of the character doll 20 installed in the game facility 1 (see FIG. 4).

As shown in FIG. 3, the firing device 12 includes a blower 14 installed inside a casing 13 and a blower 1
And a launch passage 15 for sending the ball 2 into the space S of the game facility by the blowing of the air. In the illustrated example, a net 18 is stretched at the lower end opening of the funnel-shaped ball collecting plate 16, and the blower 14 is arranged below the net 18 so that the blower port of the blower 14 is located. The blower 14 is disposed so that the inlet end of the firing passage 15 is opened vertically above the blower opening. It is preferable to provide a plurality of firing devices 12 (FIG. 3).

According to the amusement facility having the above-described configuration, the balls are successively fired from the firing device 12, but it is not known when the ball is fired, and the ball is suddenly fired. It can attract children's curiosity. If a plurality of launching devices 12 are provided, a variety of the changes is generated, which can further attract children's interest.

Further, if the mouth of the character doll 20 is set as the outlet 10 of the discharge passage 11, the character doll 20 can be enjoyed alone by targeting the character doll. Being a common target can prevent certain children from being targeted by other children.

FIG. 4 is a sectional view showing another preferred embodiment of the amusement facility according to the present invention. Note that the same components as those in the above embodiment are denoted by the same reference numerals.

In the example shown in FIG. 4, the discharge passage 11 is provided at the lower part of the space S of the game facility 1, and the launching device 12 is also provided at the center bottom of the game facility 1, that is, at the lower center of the space S. The firing passage 15 of the firing device 12 extends to a position above the center of the space S. The discharge passage 11 also has a discharge port 10 near the center of the bottom of the space S. in this case,
The firing passage 15 can be formed of a transparent member so that it can be predicted that the ball will be fired.

When the firing passage 15 is arranged at the center of the space S, a ball take-out port 21 as shown in FIG. The ball take-out port 21 is provided with a valve body 2 having a cut in a rubber sheet or the like so that air flowing through the firing passage 15 does not leak as much as possible.
2 etc. are attached. If such a ball take-out port 21 is provided, the ball passing through the firing passage 15 can be taken out and played. The firing passage 15 may be formed of a transparent cylindrical body so that it is possible to predict that a ball will be sent. However, when the firing passage 15 is formed of a non-transparent member, when the ball is sent is determined. You may leave it unclear.

[0021]

As is clear from the above description, according to the game facility according to the present invention, it is possible to give a change and attract interest, and all the plurality of people playing in the game facility can enjoy.
