No. 06-22400

  By the way, in such a play maze, once the user passes from the entrance to the exit, the user remembers at least part of the route from the entrance to the exit. For this reason, the user can easily reach the exit at the second and subsequent uses, and may feel bored and tired.

  In order to solve this problem, it is conceivable to periodically change the layout of the path of the maze for play. However, since the maze for a game as described above is provided by directly fixing the wall body on the installation surface, it takes time during assembly. In addition, since the directly fixed wall cannot be easily moved or removed, it is not easy to change the layout of the passage. Moreover, even if it is attempted to change the layout by removing the wall from the installation surface, there is a problem that a large cost is required. Actually, the layout of the passage is hardly changed in the maze for play, and as a result, there are few so-called repeaters that use this maze multiple times.

  The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and the object of the present invention is to enable easy change of the layout of the passage by allowing easy assembly, and can be used multiple times. The purpose of this is to provide a maze for games that is difficult for users to get bored and has a high commercial value.

  In order to solve the above problems, the maze for play of the present invention has the following configuration.

  The present invention is a labyrinth for play with a passage 5 between the opposing side walls. The side wall is composed of a plurality of columns 2 that are detachably installed on the installation surface 1 along the passage 5 at substantially constant intervals, and a wall body 4 that is removably attached between the columns 2. .

  It is possible to easily change the layout of the passage 5 by removing the wall body 4 from the support column 2, removing the support column 2 from the installation surface 1, changing the installation position of the support column 2 and the wall body 4, and reassembling them. it can.

  Moreover, since the maze for play of the present invention can be simply configured by standing the detachable support 2 on the installation surface 1 and attaching the wall body 4 to the support 2, installation / removal or relocation is simple. Can be done.

  In the game maze of the present invention, the column 2 is provided with a main body 24 to which the wall 4 is detachably attached, and a height that is provided below the main body 24 and adjusts the vertical height of the main body 24. The adjusting means 7 is preferably provided.

  When the height of the main body 24 is changed by the height adjusting means 7, the height of the wall body 4 attached to the main body 24 is changed. That is, even if the installation surface 1 has irregularities, inclinations, and the like, the main body 24 can be set to a constant height regardless of the state of the installation surface 1, and the wall body 4 can be stably attached. .

  Also, in the maze for play of the present invention, an installation part 22 placed on the installation surface 1 is provided at the lower end of the support 2, and the installation part 22 of one support 2 and another support adjacent to the support 2. The two installation portions 22 are preferably connected to each other via a connecting member 6a.

  Thus, when the installation part 22 of one support column 2 and the installation part 22 of another adjacent support column 2 are connected to each other via the connecting member 6a, the installation position of the support column 2 is fixed to each other, The support column 2 is stably installed. This eliminates the need for anchoring the column 2 so that the column 2 can be erected stably even on an installation surface 1 that cannot be anchored, such as an indoor floor surface. It becomes possible to install a maze for play.

  According to the present invention, it is possible to easily change the layout of the passage, and it is possible to provide a game maze that has a high commercial value because the user is not bored even when used multiple times.

However, when the installation surface 1 can be anchored, the through hole 23 may be used to anchor to the floor surface. That is, the through-hole 23 can be selected as to whether the connecting member 6a is attached or anchored.

  In addition, the support | pillar 2 of the said embodiment is formed by coating a steel material with a rust preventive material.

  The wall body 4 is detachably attached to the support column 2 via the attachment portion 21.

  The wall body 4 is configured by attaching a wall member 42 in a rectangular frame body 41. For the wall member 42, for example, a panel-like plate body, a mesh-like net body in which through holes are formed over the entire surface, or the like is preferably used. In addition, the wall body 4 of the present embodiment is provided with a plurality of types of wall bodies 4 having different vertical lengths, and can be selectively used according to the scene, as will be described later.

  At both ends in the width direction of the wall body 4, mounted portions 43 that engage with the mounting portions 21 of the support column 2 are provided. The mounted portion 43 of the present embodiment is configured by a mounted member 44 as shown in FIG. The attached member 44 has L-shaped locking claws 45 provided with hanging pieces protruding downward from one side (in this embodiment, three locations), and the locking claws 45 are struts. It is latched by the long hole 211 as the 2 attachment part 21. In addition, a mounting hole 46 to which the frame body 41 is fixed is formed substantially in the middle of the mounted member 44 in the width direction.

  As described above, the wall member 42 is disposed in the frame body 41, and the wall member 4 is configured by attaching the attached members 44 to both ends in the wall width direction in this state. Both ends of the wall body 4 are detachably locked to the support column 2, and are attached so as to be installed between the pair of support columns 2.

A plurality of side walls provided are opposed to each other to form a passage 5, and a user in the passage 5 can travel in a direction along the wall body 4.

  The labyrinth for play of this embodiment which has the wall body 4 and the support | pillar 2 of such a structure is as follows.

  As shown in FIG. 1, the plurality of support columns 2 according to the present embodiment are erected in an orderly manner at substantially equal intervals in the front-rear and left-right directions so as to cover substantially the entire surface of the installation surface 1. And while providing the part which attaches the wall 4 between this support | pillar 2, and the part which is not attached, a branch part is provided partially. This branching portion is a portion that allows the user to select the passage 5 connected to the outlet and the passage 5 connected to the bag path portion, and is a portion where the passage 5 is branched. In addition, the wall path 4 is constructed between the support columns 2 so as to be orthogonal to the wall body 4 forming the passage 5, and the bag path portion is a dead end that the user cannot travel beyond.

  Since the maze for play of this embodiment is installed on an indoor floor surface, it cannot be anchored to the floor surface. In this case, the support 2 is usually unstable and the side wall may fall down. However, as described above, the maze for play of this embodiment connects the installation portions 22 of the support 2 to each other by the connecting member 6a. Yes. Thereby, the column 2 to which the wall body 4 is attached can be stably erected without anchoring.

  As shown in FIG. 1, the connecting member 6a attached to the installation portion 22 is mainly composed of a long plate-like member. At both ends of the plate-like member, mounting portions 62 bent in an L shape are provided. The mounting portion 62 extends from the through hole 23 to the installation surface 1 along the installation portion 22, and the connection member 6a is provided on the floor surface by providing the mounting portions 62 at both ends of the connection member 6a. It will be installed along. As a result, the level | step difference which arises between the installation surface 1 and the connection member 6a can be reduced as much as possible, and it can prevent that a user trips over the connection member 6a.

  Further, in the maze for play of this embodiment, adjacent struts 2 are also connected to each other via the connecting member 6b in the upper connecting portion 28 of the support 2 on which the wall body 4 is installed. Even if the support column 2 is stabilized by connecting the installation portions 22 as described above, depending on the weight of the wall body 4, the support column 2 to which the wall body 4 is attached may be bent. Therefore, the maze for play of this embodiment has improved these intensity | strengths by connecting the support | pillars 2 in the upper connection part 28, and a user can use it in a safer state. It has a structure.

  In addition, the side wall of the labyrinth for play of the present embodiment is configured so that the adjacent passage 5 can be seen through the wall body 4 by using a wall member 42 made of a mesh-like net body, or a plate body instead of the net body. The wall members 4 are arranged side by side and the wall member 4 having a short vertical length is used only downward, so that only the vicinity of the feet of the adjacent passages 5 can be seen. The arranged wall bodies 4 are arranged side by side in the vertical direction, and the wall body 4 having a short vertical length is used upward so that the adjacent passage 5 can be seen from above, or the wall member of the plate body is simply used. The wall body 4 provided with 42 is configured so as to cover both sides of the passage 5 up and down, and a combination of these is provided to prevent the user from getting bored. Furthermore, it is also possible to attach a design to the wall body 4 to create an atmosphere of a scene according to the location of the passage 5.

  In the game maze of the present embodiment configured as described above, the support 2 and the wall 4 are configured to be removable, so that the wall 4 is removed from the support 2 and the support 2 is removed from the installation surface 1. When the installation position of the support column 2 and the wall body 4 is changed, the layout of the passage 5 is changed. Moreover, since the support | pillar 2 of this embodiment is arrange | positioned at the substantially constant space | interval up and down, right and left over the substantially whole surface of the installation surface 1, the attachment position of the wall 4 is changed without changing the position of the support | pillar 2. Only by changing the game, a new labyrinth with a layout different from the previous layout is formed. As a result, the layout of the passage 5 can be easily changed.

  Further, in the support column 2 of the present embodiment, the attachment portions 21 provided on the support column 2 are provided at four positions in the horizontal cross section in the front, rear, left, and right, and the virtual lines connecting the front and rear attachment portions 21 and the left and right attachment portions 21 are connected. The imaginary line is configured to be substantially orthogonal. Thereby, the linear channel | path 5 or the channel | path 5 curved at substantially right angle can be formed only by selecting and attaching the wall body 4 suitably between the support | pillars 2 arrange | positioned by the fixed space | interval. That is, since the entire play maze can be configured by the common support 2, the number of parts can be reduced as much as possible, and the cost can be reduced.

  By the way, although the maze for play of this embodiment is installed on the indoor floor surface, it is also possible to relocate this on the outdoor ground. That is, since the support column 2 and the wall body 4 are each constituted by a common member, they are suitable for transporting them together and can be easily assembled. In addition, since the column 2 and the wall body 4 are constituted by the common members, it is possible to easily add a labyrinth for play.

  Further, the installation surface 1 on the outdoor ground or the like may have so-called unevenness or an inclined surface that is uneven, but the installation part 22 of the support column 2 of the present embodiment has a height of the main part 24. Since the height adjusting means 7 to be changed is provided, the height of the main body 24 and the wall body 4 can be adjusted according to the height position of the uneven surface or the inclined surface. Thus, even if the installation surface 1 is not formed flat, according to the support column 2 of the present embodiment, more stable installation can be performed. Of course, you may make it take in an inclined surface as one of the scenes of the labyrinth for play using the installation surface 1 which has an inclined surface actively.

  In addition, when the support | pillar 2 is installed in an inclined surface in this way, the vertical position of the upper connection part 28 of the adjacent support | pillar 2 may shift | deviate up and down mutually. In this case, as shown in FIG. 4, the adjacent support columns 2 are connected to each other with the upper connecting member 61 interposed therebetween. The upper connecting member 61 is formed by bending a long plate material into a substantially U-shaped cross section, and the connecting member 6b is mounted on the substantially U-shaped inward surface. A fixing portion is provided on the back surface of the upper connecting member 61, and the fixing portion is attached to the support column 2 via an attachment portion 21 formed on the side surface of the support column 2. In addition, the upper connection member 61 and the support | pillar 2 in this embodiment are mounted | worn using the fixing tool like a screw tool.

  In addition, when installing the support | pillar 2 on the ground, it is often possible to carry out anchor fixation, but of course, as the structure which fixed the installation part 22 mutually by the connection member 6a like this embodiment. Alternatively, after the anchor is fixed, the installation portion 22 may be fixed to each other by the connecting member 6a.

  As mentioned above, although the maze for play of this embodiment constituted the whole maze for play using the member which made the pillar 2 and wall 4 common, respectively, the maze for play of the present invention is not limited to the composition, For example, only a portion around a wooden maze that is fixedly installed is configured using the support column 2 and the wall body 4 as in the present embodiment, and only the layout of the portion is periodically (or irregularly). ) A structure that can be changed, or a part of the game maze may be configured by using the column 2 or the wall 4 as in the present embodiment.

  In addition, the maze for play of the present invention uses a common member regardless of whether it is indoors or outdoors, such as shopping centers and amusement park vacant spaces, off-season idle spaces, and various event venues. It can be installed regardless of size.

  In addition, the material of the support | pillar 2 and wall 4 of this invention is not limited to the thing of this embodiment. Moreover, although the installation surface 1 of this embodiment was demonstrated as an indoor floor surface, the installation surface of this invention is not limited to this.
