Description

  The present invention relates to a game apparatus that grabs a prize stored inside a case.

A game in which a hand insertion opening is opened on the upper side of the case and a hand is inserted through the hand insertion opening to grab a prize inside the case is well known.
In order to increase the enjoyment of the game, a game apparatus has been proposed in which a blower is provided inside the case and the prize is floated inside the case (see, for example, Patent Document 1).

Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 10-080518

In the game device disclosed in Patent Document 1, since a prize floats inside the case, it is possible to enjoy a grabbing game as if it were a sport.
However, the game device is limited to light and small items on which prizes can float.
And if you want to float a gift voucher instead of a gift, you can't check the items that can be exchanged for the voucher you pick up during the game. Meaning fades.

  Accordingly, the present invention is intended to provide a prize-grabbing game device that can enjoy a grabbing game as if it were a sport while confirming the prize to be acquired.

In the prize catching game device according to the present invention, (a) the inside of the prize storing case 40 is a prize placing room 41 for placing a prize 45, and (b) the prize holding room 41 is handed above the prize placing room 41. (C) a manual insertion port 21 for opening the hand 45 to grasp the prize 45 is opened.
The first feature is that the floor surface of the prize placement chamber 41 is raised and lowered.

  The second feature of the prize catching game device according to the present invention is that, in addition to the first feature, (d) the prize storage case interior 40 is separated from the upper prize placement chamber 41 by the partition member 43 and the lower ascent / descent. The elevating drive device 22 is provided in the elevating drive chamber 42, and is divided into two stages in the upper and lower stages with respect to the drive chamber 42, and (e) the elevating drive chamber 42 is driven up and down. (G) a door 44 that opens and closes the manual insertion slot 21, an opening / closing drive device 23 that drives to open and close the door 44, and the manual insertion slot 21. An insertion confirmation sensor 11 for sensing an object, an elevating drive device 22, an opening / closing drive device 23, and a driving input means 10 for turning on / off the insertion confirmation sensor 11 are provided.

  In addition to the second feature described above, the third feature of the prize-grab game device according to the present invention includes (h) a lowering confirmation sensor 12 for confirming the lowering position of the partition member 43 driven up and down by the up-and-down driving device 22. And a lift confirmation sensor 14 for confirming a lift position of the partition member 43 and a close confirmation sensor 13 for confirming a close position of the door 44 driven by the opening / closing drive device 23. (i) The lift drive device 22 has a difference. In response to the lowering instruction signal 1 from the lock confirmation sensor 11, the partition member 43 is driven to move downward. In response to the upward instruction signal 3 from the closing confirmation sensor 13, the partition member 43 is driven to move upward. The door 44 is opened in response to the input signal 5 from the driving input means 10, the door 44 is closed in response to the closing instruction signal 2 from the lowering confirmation sensor 12, and (k) the input means 10 is moved up to the ascent confirmation sensor 1. Lies in the OFF state receives the end instruction signal 4 from.

  In addition to the third feature, the fourth feature of the prize-grab game device according to the present invention is: (l) a delay element 31 for delaying the transmission time of the lowering instruction signal 1 received by the lifting drive device 22; The delay element 32 delays the transmission time of the closing instruction signal 2 received by the driving device 23, and (n) the delay element 30 delays the transmission time of the input signal 5 received by the switching drive device 23. .

  In addition to any of the first, second, third, and fourth features of the first, second, third, and fourth features of the present invention, the fifth feature of the prize catching game device is (o) (P) The door 44 rotates along the back surface of the top plate 48, rotates and moves to the manual insertion port 21, and the opening / closing port 46 is opened at the overlapping position. The point is formed by the plate 47.

  In addition to the fifth feature described above, the sixth feature of the prize catching game device according to the present invention is that (q) a rotation direction restricting means for restricting the rotation direction of the rotating plate 47 in one direction is provided.

  In the present invention (claim 1), the prize 45 is moved up and down, the distance between the prize 45 and the hand changes, and the chance to reach the prize 45 is asked. However, you can enjoy grabbing games like a sport.

In the prize catching game device of the present invention (Claim 2), the door 44 of the hand insertion port 21 on the upper side of the prize placing room 41 is opened, and a hand is inserted from there to grab the prize 45 in the prize placing room 41. The insertion confirmation sensor 11 senses the inserted hand and the game is started.
During the game, the prize placing chamber 41 moves up and down together with the partition member 43, and the prize 45 moves up and down together with the prize placing room 41, and the distance between the prize 45 and the hand changes.
The prize 45 is placed in the prize placement chamber 41, and the prize 45 is not limited by the size or weight, and the number of prizes 45 is increased to obtain the prize 45 to be acquired. You can enjoy the fun of choosing.

  In the present invention (Claim 3), the lowering confirmation sensor 12 for confirming the lowering position of the partition member 43 driven up and down by the lifting and lowering driving device 22, the ascent confirmation sensor 14 for confirming the rising position of the partition member 43, and the opening and closing drive. A closing confirmation sensor 13 for confirming the closing position of the door 44 driven by the device 23 is provided in the game device, and the raising / lowering driving device 22 receives the lowering instruction signal 1 from the insertion confirmation sensor 11 and drives the partition member 43 to descend. In response to the rising instruction signal 3 from the closing confirmation sensor 13, the partition member 43 is driven to be lifted by the lifting / lowering driving device 22, and the door 44 is opened by the opening / closing driving device 23 that receives the input signal 5 from the driving force input means 10. The input means 10 for closing the door 44 by the opening / closing drive device 23 that receives the closing instruction signal 2 from the sensor 12 and receiving the end instruction signal 4 from the ascent confirmation sensor 14. Therefore since was set to turn off the game apparatus, the game apparatus to the end of the game start is unmanned, management costs of the game apparatus is reduced.

In the present invention (Claim 4), the delay element 31 for delaying the transmission time of the lowering instruction signal 1 received by the elevating drive device 22 is provided, and there is an opportunity to determine the prize 45 to be grasped after the door 44 is opened. You can enjoy the pleasure of being given and definitive.
In addition, a delay element 32 for delaying the transmission time of the closing instruction signal 2 received by the opening / closing drive device 23 is provided, and the prize placement chamber 41 is opened for a while after the prize 45 has been lowered to a depth that cannot be reached. So that you can enjoy the afterglow of the game by looking at the prize 45 at the bottom of the prize placement room 41, and the motivation to challenge the game next, making the grab game even more fun In addition, since it is open for a while, the danger of a hand being caught by the closing door 44 is also avoided.
In addition, since the delay element 30 for delaying the transmission time of the input signal 5 received by the opening / closing drive device 23 is provided, the game can be started without panic.

  In the present invention (Claim 5), the manual insertion port 21 is provided in the top plate 48 of the gift storage case 40, rotates along the back surface of the top plate 48, rotates to the manual insertion port 21, and overlaps.
