In this medal game machine, when a jackpot game starts and a jackpot is established when a medal fired at the target chucker hits the chucker, the medal stored in the medal reservoir is released. Is.
JP 2005-102731 A

  The problem to be solved by the present invention is that the above-mentioned medal game machine aims at one target with two launching devices, but the release of medals is the same regardless of which launching device, and the two players They cooperated to acquire medals, and the two did not compete for medals.

  The present invention solves the above-mentioned problems, and two players aim at the same target and fire a medal. However, there is a limitation in the time for aiming at the target with his own launcher, and the target hits within that time. It is another object of the present invention to provide a medal pusher game toy that can determine to which player side the release of medals is determined depending on the position of the target and can compete for medals to be acquired.

In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the medal pusher game toy according to the present invention is characterized by having the following requirements for playing a medal with a plurality of launchers aiming at a moving target.
(A) The toy main body is provided with a plurality of first detection means for detecting a plurality of movement positions of the target, and a plurality of medal discharge mechanisms corresponding to the first detection means. Is provided with an opening, and the toy body is provided with second detection means for detecting that a medal has entered the opening. (C) The first detection means detects the target on the toy body. After that, when the second detection means detects a medal within a predetermined time, the roulette functions, and when the roulette displays a win, the medal discharge mechanism corresponding to the first detection means is operated to Provided a control unit that discharges medals to the medal accumulation table

The medal pusher game toy preferably has the following requirements.
(B) The medal that has entered the opening is guided to the game stage. (B) The second detection means that a chucker that receives the medal is arranged on the game stage, and that the medal is received in the chucker. Detecting with

  The toy body is provided with display means corresponding to each of the first detection means, the control means operates the display means for a predetermined time, and the second detection means is operated during the operation of the display means. When a medal is detected, the roulette may be operated, and when the roulette displays a win, the medal discharge mechanism corresponding to the first detecting means may be operated.

  The discharge mechanism includes a stocker that stocks medals, a push-out member that pushes out the medals in the stocker to the medal accumulation table, and a drive mechanism that drives the push-out member, and the control unit drives the drive mechanism according to a hit. May be controlled so that the amount of medals discharged is changed according to the win.

  Further, it is preferable that two stockers are arranged in the toy main body, and a drive mechanism for driving the push-out members corresponding to the stockers is selected by forward / reverse rotation of one motor.

  According to the first aspect of the present invention, the roulette does not function unless the second detection means works after the medal is driven into the opening within a predetermined time after the first detection means detects the moving target. Since the medals are not ejected from the stocker unless they win at the roulette, it is possible to enjoy a deep game that cannot be enjoyed with a medal pusher game toy that simply aims at the target. Moreover, when two players aim at the same target and fire a medal, there is a limit on the time to aim at the target with their own launcher, and the target must be hit within that time. Depending on the position of the target, it is determined whether to release to any player side, and a medal pusher game toy that can compete for medals to be obtained can be realized.

  According to the second aspect of the present invention, the second detection means does not operate unless the medal that has entered the opening of the target is guided to the game stage and accommodated in the chucker. In addition to the technology, whether or not the medal is accommodated in the chucker does not need to be operated by the player, so that it is possible to realize a medal pusher game toy with increased game difficulty.

  According to the third aspect of the present invention, display means is provided corresponding to each of the first detection means, and it is only necessary to aim at the target by looking at the state of the display means. Can be avoided, and it is possible to prevent accidental fires of accidentally firing medals at the timing of the opponent.

  According to the invention of claim 4, the medals stocked in the stocker are not discharged at once, but the medals in the stocker are pushed out by the pushing member, so that the amount of medals discharged can be controlled. It is possible to freely control the amount of medals discharged in response to.

  According to the fifth aspect of the present invention, the driving mechanism for driving the pushing member that pushes out the medals in the two stockers can be controlled by the forward / reverse rotation of one motor, and the cost can be reduced.

  FIG. 1 shows a medal pusher game toy A according to the present invention, and this medal pusher game toy (hereinafter referred to as a game toy) A includes a plurality of launchers 2 (in the present invention, two launchers 2). Is placed on both sides of the toy body 1), and the medal 5 is fired at the opening (dragon's mouth) 4 formed in the target 3 composed of the dragon's head, and does not enter the opening 4. The medal 5 slides down on the upper surface of the transparent game stage 6 disposed under the target 3 toward the medal accumulation table 7, and the medal 5 entering the opening 4 slides down inside the game stage 6 to enter the game stage. Like the medal 5 sliding down on the top surface of 6, it slides down on the medal accumulation table 7 and is pushed by the pusher arm 8 to fall into the medal pool 9. A chucker 10 that receives the medal 5 is disposed inside the cottage 6. If the medal 5 is received in the receiving recess 10 a of the chucker 10, the roulette 11 that has been operating above the target 3 stops, and the roulette 11 stops when it hits. The medal 5 is discharged from the stocker 12 onto the medal accumulation table 7.

  As shown in FIG. 2, the target 3 is fixed to the tip of an arm 16 projecting forward from the upper center of the substantially T-shaped frame 15, and this frame 15 is a horizontal slot formed in a horizontal plate 15a.

As shown in FIGS. 2 (a) and 2 (b), the frame 15 reciprocates left and right, and the target 3 reciprocates left and right accordingly.

  The toy body 1 includes a plurality of first detection means (in the present invention, constituted by two switches (leaf switches) 24 arranged on both sides of the frame 15) for detecting that the target 3 has moved to a predetermined position. The switch 24a is turned on when the frame 15 is moved to the maximum left, and the switch 24b is turned on when the frame 15 is moved maximum to the right, and the state of the switch 24 indicates that the dragon's head has moved to the left and right. .

  As shown in FIG. 3, the game stage 6 has two transparent plates 6 a and 6 b that are stacked in front and back with a gap slightly wider than the thickness of the medal 5, and the medal 5 that has not entered the dragon mouth 4 is The medals that have entered the dragon's mouth 4 slide down toward the medal accumulation table 7 through the space between the two plates 6a and 6b. .

  As shown in FIG. 4, an obstacle pin 22 that changes the sliding direction of the medal 5 and a chucker 10 that receives the medal 5 are arranged on the back plate 6 b as shown in FIG. 4. The chucker 10 has a disc shape and is partially formed with a receiving recess 10a for receiving the medal 5. A switch (leaf switch) 25 serving as second detection means is disposed in the vicinity of the chucker 10. In FIG. 4, reference numeral 44 (44a, 44b) is a display means provided corresponding to the first detection means 24 (24a, 24b). This display means is constituted by an LED and is controlled by a control means described later. After the first detection means 24 detects the target 3, it is lit for a predetermined time.

  As shown in FIG. 5A, the chucker 10 hits the obstacle pin 22 in the game stage 6 and slides down while changing the direction, and the medal 5 is engaged with the obstacle pin 22 disposed obliquely above the chucker 10. Then, it will be in the state supported by this obstacle pin 22 and the chucker 10, and if the chuck | zipper 10 rotates to the position where the accommodation recessed part 10a respond | corresponds to the medal 5 (refer FIG.5 (b)), the medal 5 will be in the accommodation recessed part 10a. The medals 5 move together with the chucker 10 and turn on the switch 25 (see FIG. 5C). When the chucker 10 further rotates, the medal 5 is detached from the receiving recess 10 a and slides down toward the medal accumulation table 7.

  As shown in FIG. 6, the stocker 12 is composed of an accommodating portion 26 in a state in which two cylinders are horizontally connected so that the medals 5 can be accommodated vertically in two rows, and protrudes obliquely upward rearward. If the medal 5 is inserted into the tray 27, it is accommodated in the accommodating portion 26, and can be fixed by screwing it to a table (not shown) with a protruding portion 26a protruding on both sides. . The medals 5 accommodated in the stocker 12 are pushed forward from the accommodating portion 26 by the discharge mechanism B described later.

The discharge mechanism B includes an extruding member 28 and a drive mechanism 29 that drives the extruding member 28. The extruding member 28 is arranged so as to be moved back and forth by being guided by a guide formed on a table (not shown) A horizontally long engagement hole 30 is formed in the. The drive mechanism 29 includes a gear 36 fixed to the rotation shaft of the motor 35, a spur gear 37 that meshes with the gear 36, a planetary gear 38 that meshes with the spur gear 37, and a spur gear 39 that selectively engages with the planetary gear 38. The crown gear 41 is fixed to both ends for transmitting the rotation of the spur gear 39 to the drive gear 40, and the rotary shaft 42 is formed. The eccentric shaft 43 formed on the drive gear 40 is formed on the pushing member 28. The push-out member 28 can be slid back and forth by engaging with the joint hole 30 and rotating the drive gear 40.

  When the motor 35 rotates clockwise, the planetary gear 38 meshes with the left spur gear 39a and rotates the left drive gear 40a, so that the left pushing member 28a moves back and forth (see FIG. 7 (a)), when the motor 35 rotates counterclockwise, the planetary gear 38 meshes with the right spur gear 39b and rotates the right drive gear 40b, so that the right pushing member 28b moves back and forth. Thus (see FIG. 7B), the medals 5 in the accommodating portion 26 can be pushed out two by two.

  FIG. 8 is a block diagram illustrating the electrical configuration of the game toy A, and the CPU that is the control unit 41 controls the entire game toy according to a control program stored in the ROM 42. The CPU 41 includes a motor 43 that moves the head of the dragon, which is the target 3, to the left and right and constantly rotates the chucker 10, and a display unit that lights for a predetermined time in response to the switches 24a, 24b being the first detection units being turned on. LED 44 a, 44 b 44, LEDs 45 a to 45 e constituting the roulette 11, a switch 25 as a second detection means for detecting that a medal has entered the chucker 10, and the medal 5 to be discharged from the stocker 12 A motor 43 of a drive mechanism 29 that moves the pushing member 28 is connected. Reference numeral 46 denotes a speaker that outputs sound effects.

  Next, a usage mode of the game toy having the above-described configuration will be described with reference to a flowchart of FIG.

  When the power is turned on, the motor 43 rotates and the dragon's head 3 reciprocates left and right, and the chucker 10 rotates and the roulette 11 starts (step ST1). When the head 3 of the dragon moves and the switch 24 which is the first detecting means is turned on (step ST2), the control unit 41 turns on the LED 44a or the LED 44b corresponding to the switch 24 depending on which of the switches 24a and 24b is turned on. Inform the player that it is time to fire.

  The player operates the medal launching device 2 and launches a medal aiming at the mouth 4 of the dragon 3. When the medal 5 enters the dragon mouth 4, the medal 5 entered from the mouth 5 slides down in the game stage 6 toward the medal accumulation table 7.

  When the medal 5 is accommodated in the accommodating portion 26 of the chucker 10 within a predetermined time (in the present invention, set to 5 seconds) and the switch 25 as the second detecting means is turned on (step ST4), the control portion 41 turns the roulette 11 on. When the roulette 11 is stopped by hitting (step ST5), the control unit 41 determines which stocker 12 to discharge the medal 5 from (step ST7).

  When the medal 5 is discharged from the left stocker 12, the process proceeds to step ST8, the motor 35 is rotated forward (clockwise), the left pusher plate 28a is operated, and the medal 5 is discharged from the left stocker 12a. (Step ST9) When discharging the medal 5 from the right stocker 12b, the process proceeds to step ST10, the motor 35 is rotated in the reverse direction (counterclockwise), and the right pushing plate 28b is operated to operate the right stocker 12b. The medals 5 are discharged (step ST11). If it is within the time limit (set to 5 minutes in the present invention), the process returns to step ST1 to continue the game, and if the time limit has passed, the game ends.

  In the present invention, two types of hits are set, and when the roulette 11 stops with one of the LEDs 45b and 45d lit, the motor 35 is operated for a short time as a middle hit and a small number (for example, six) medals When the roulette 11 stops while the LED 45c is lit, the control unit 41 controls the motor 35 so that the motor 35 is rotated for a long time and a large number of (for example, 24) medals 5 are discharged. The rotation time is controlled.

  As mentioned above, the medal is launched aiming at the head of the moving dragon, but the timing of launching the medal is indicated by the lighting of the LED 44, so aim at the target 3 within the lighting time. Even if you hit the medal 5 and hit it successfully, it won't win if you hit it, but if the hit medal enters the chucker 10 within a predetermined time and the control unit recognizes that it has entered, the roulette 11 stops and stops. If the position is not hit, the medal will not be discharged, so even if you can shoot the target, you will also need luck where you can not hit, and if you can shoot the target like in the conventional game, you will be rewarded for success As a common medal accumulation table 7, and one pusher arm 8 Since then issued Kill is possible to realize a There is also the back of the deep game toys that arouse the competitive spirit is also taken into consideration chance that also fall into the medal Pool 8 of the opponent.
