The ball B made of metal is carried from the start point S to the goal point G. The ball B may be made of resin instead of metal, but it is preferably heavy to some extent in order to reliably guide the ball B from the start point S to the goal point G.

《Detailed composition》
1. 1. Starting point S
A hole 111 capable of holding the ball B is provided at the starting point S. Below the hole 111, as shown in FIG. 2, a lever 11 to which the first operator 1a is connected is arranged at the front end portion. The lever 11 is configured to be rotatable about the shaft 11a, and a protrusion 12 attached to the lever 11 is located below the hole 111.

The first operator 1a is a push button type operator, and by pushing down the first operator 1a, the ball B placed at the starting point S is hit at the upper end of the protrusion 12 toward the zigzag stairs 10. And launch.

2. 2. Zigzag stairs 10
The zigzag staircase 10 is composed of left and right staircases 13a and 13b arranged side by side. The left staircase 13a is a fixed staircase, and the right staircase 13b is a movable staircase that moves up and down. The width and depth dimensions of the treads of the left and right stairs 13a and 13b are set equally for the left and right stairs 13a and 13b. Further, the treads of the left and right stairs 13a and 13b have a slight downward slope toward the back side and a slight downward slope toward the other stairs. Further, a curb-shaped wall is provided on the edge of the tread plate portion of the left and right stairs 13a and 13b, and a notch is appropriately provided on the wall so that the ball B can easily fall from the notch. ing.
In addition, the positions of the riser plate portions of the left and right stairs 13a and 13b are formed so as to be offset in the depth direction.
Further, the contact portion 14 of the lever 11 is located below the right staircase 13b.
Then, the balls B placed on the left and right stairs 13a and 13b alternately jump to the treads of the left and right stairs 13a and 13b by the operation of the first operator 1a, and the uppermost treads of the left stairs 13a. The portion leads to the seesaw passage 20.

3. 3. Seeso passage 20
As shown in FIG. 3, the road surface of the seesaw passage 20 is U-shaped. In the seesaw passage 20, the ball B moves back and forth on the U-shaped road surface, and when the movement weakens, the passage 31 in front of the Ferris wheel maze 30 is provided through the notch 22 attached to the wall 21 of the seeso passage 20. Guided to. The passage 31 has a downward slope toward the Ferris wheel maze 30.

4. Ferris wheel maze 30
The Ferris wheel maze 30 is composed of a drum 32. The drum 32 is provided so that the central axis extends in the front-rear direction. As shown in FIG. 4, a ball introduction port 32a (see FIG. 1) having a notch is formed on the peripheral surface of the drum 32. Further, walls 32b of various shapes forming a maze are formed inside the drum 32, and a ball outlet 32c is formed upright at the bottom (end plate) of the drum 32. The drum 32 is connected to the third operator 1c via a feed rod 40 described later. Although the front end of the drum 32 is open, a transparent plate for preventing the ball B from falling off may be attached to the front end.

The third operator 1c is a rotary operator, and the drum 32 is rotated by rotating the third operator 1c. As a result, the ball B is introduced into the drum 32 from the ball introduction port 32a, and is led out from the ball outlet 32c to the passage 33 through the maze.

The passage 33 extends in the width direction of the game board 110 and has a downward slope toward the left. As shown in FIG. 5, a passage 34 extending in the front-rear direction is connected to the left end of the passage 33. The passage 34 has a downward slope toward the front. A hole 34a is formed at the front end of the passage 34. The hole 34a communicates with a hole (not shown) formed in the wall facing the feed rod 40 among the walls defining the passage 34.

As a result, the ball B led out from the ball outlet 32c to the passage 33 passes through the passage 33 and the passage 34, passes through the hole 34a of the passage 34, and enters the passage 35, which is an underpass arranged below the feed rod 40. Be guided. The passage 35 is a U-shaped passage like the seesaw passage 20, and the ball B guided to the passage 35 passes through the passage 36 having a hairpin curve and is below the feed rod 40 with its momentum. Be guided.

5. Feed rod 40
The feed rod 40 is provided with a spiral protrusion on the surface of the shaft 41. The shaft 41 of the feed rod 40 extends in the front-rear direction, and is provided so that the rear end is slightly lower than the front end. The front end of the shaft 41 of the feed rod 40 is connected to the third operator 1c, and the drum 32 is connected to the rear end.

Near the feed rod 40, a first guide member 42 for pulling the ball B from below the feed rod 40 toward the side and a second guide member 43 for raising the ball B are provided.

The first guide member 42 constitutes a wall and is inclined with respect to the shaft 41 of the feed rod 40 so as to extend laterally from below the feed rod 40 in a plan view (FIGS. 5 and 5). 6 (B)). The upper end of the first guide member 42 has the same height in the extending direction. The front end of the first guide member 42 is connected to the second guide member 43.

Further, the second guide member 43 constitutes a wall and extends in the front-rear direction in parallel with the axis 41 of the feed rod 40 in a plan view. The upper end portion of the second guide member 43 is gradually raised toward the front except for the front end portion (see FIG. 6A). This portion constitutes an inclined guide portion. Further, the upper surface of the second guide member 43 is inclined downward toward the feed rod 40 except for the discharge portion of the ball B (see FIG. 7A). This inclined surface is indicated by reference numeral 43a. The reason for the downward inclination is to press the ball B against the feed rod 40. On the other hand, the upper end portion of the second guide member 43 has a substantially constant height at the front end portion, and the ball B discharge portion at the front end portion is inclined upward toward the feed rod 40 (FIG. 6). (A) and FIG. 7 (B)). This inclined surface is indicated by reference numeral 43b. The reason for the ascending slope is that the ball B on the front end is discharged to the outside of the feed rod 40.

According to the first guide member 42 and the second guide member 43 configured in this way, as shown in FIG. 16A, the ball B below the feed rod 40 is in one direction of the feed rod 40. By rotation, it is gradually pushed out to the side of the feed rod 40 by the first guide member 42 and rides on the second guide member 43, and then the shaft is brought into sliding contact with the upper end portion of the second guide member 43 and the shaft 41. It gradually rises while moving around 41.

Then, the ball B is discharged to the outside of the feed rod 40 at the inclined surface 43b at the front end of the second guide member 43, and is guided to the jump table 50. When the ball B rides on the front end of the feed rod 40, it is preferable that the portion directly below the center of gravity of the ball B rides on the inclined surface 43b. Further, here, the inclined surface 43b is connected to the inclined surface 43a with a step so that the slope of the inclined surface 43a is on the slope, but the boundary portion where the inclination is reversed is flat without inclination. Well, or the slope may be gradually reversed. That is, the downward slope may gradually become gentle, and the slope may be increased after passing through a state without slope.

6. Jump stand 50
As shown in FIG. 8, the jump table 50 includes three launch tubes 51a, 51b, and 51c. The height of the launching cylinders 51a, 51b, 51c is set so that the launching cylinder 51a is the lowest and the launching cylinder 51c is the tallest.

An elevating body 53 is arranged under the jump table 50. The elevating body 53 is provided with protruding portions 53a, 53b, 53c so as to correspond one-to-one with the launching cylinders 51a, 51b, 51c. The upper ends of the protrusions 53a and 53b are inclined so as to have a downward slope toward the front. Further, the upper end of the protruding portion 53c is inclined so as to have a downward slope toward the left. The three protrusions 53a, 53b, 53c face the corresponding launch tubes 51a, 51b, 51c. The height of the protruding portions 53a, 53b, 53c is set so that the protruding portion 53a is the lowest and the protruding portion 53c is the highest.

Below the elevating body 53, a lever 52 configured to be rotatable around the shaft 52a is arranged. A second operator 1b, which is a push button type operator, is attached to the front end of the lever 52, and a contact portion 53d that comes into contact with the elevating body 53 is attached to the rear end. Then, when the second operator 1b is pushed down, the elevating body 53 is pushed up via the lever 52, and the protruding portions 53a, 53b, 53c hit the ball B.

According to the jumping table 50, the ball B from the feed rod 40 first gets on the launching cylinder 51a. After that, each push-down operation of the second operator 1b jumps to the launch cylinders 51b and 51c in order. Further, the ball B on the launching cylinder 51c jumps over the feed rod 40 by the pushing operation of the second operator 1b, hits the semi-cylindrical trap 55c attached to the third guide member 55, and feeds with the third guide member 55. It falls between the rod 40. Then, the ball B is supported from below by the upper end portion of the third guide member 55 and the shaft 41 of the feed rod 40.

The third guide member 55 constitutes a wall, is located on the side of the front half of the feed rod 40, has an upward slope toward the rear with respect to the shaft 41 in a side view (see FIG. 9), and is in a plan view. , The feed rod 40 is inclined in a direction approaching the feed rod 40 from the front to the rear (see FIG. 1). Then, when the third operator 1c is rotated clockwise, as shown in FIG. 16B, the ball B is brought into contact with the upper end of the third guide member 55 and the shaft 41, so that the ball B of the shaft 41 It gradually rises while moving around, spills from the notch 55a in the middle part in the front-rear direction of the feed rod 40, and is discharged to the launch pad 60 outside the feed rod 40 (see FIG. 9).
The third guide member 55 has an ascending slope toward the rear with respect to the shaft 41 in a side view, and is in a direction approaching the feed rod 40 from the front to the rear of the feed rod 40 in a plan view. It was tilted because it made it easier for the ball B to rise, and either one may be used. The point is that the ball B moves around the shaft 41 due to the rotation of the feed rod 40. In this way, the support of the ball B becomes unstable, and a game with a sense of urgency can be realized.

7. Launch pad 60
The launch pad 60 is shown in FIG. The board surface of the launch pad 60 has a downward slope toward the front (see FIG. 11). The launch pad 60 is provided with two ball receivers 61 and 62. The ball receiver 61 constitutes the front end portion of the launch pad 60 and has the width of one ball B. The ball B from the feed rod 40 is guided to the ball receiver 61. Further, the ball receiver 62 is located at the center of the board surface of the launch pad 60 and has a U shape in a plan view.

Below the launch pad 60, a slide plate 65 that operates in the front-rear direction is provided. The slide plate 65 is urged rearward by a spring 66. A fourth operator 1d is connected to the front end of the slide plate 65. The fourth operator 1d is configured to be slidable in the front-rear direction. The fourth operator 1d is provided with striking portions 66a and 66b so as to have a one-to-one correspondence with the ball receiver 61 and the ball receiver 62.

Then, by pulling the fourth operator 1d and releasing the hand, the ball B in the ball receiver 61 is repelled by the striking portion 66a, the ball B gets on the ball receiver 62, and the fourth operator 1d is pulled again. When the hand is released, the ball B in the ball receiver 62 is repelled by the striking portion 66b and guided to the bowl 70 via the slope 64.

8. Bowl 70
The ball B guided to the bowl 70 moves around on the bowl 70 and is eventually guided to the bottom. Two holes 71a and 71b are formed in the bottom of the bowl 70. Further, below the bowl 70, a pillar 72 (see FIG. 5) that supports the bowl 70 is provided. Of these, a passage 73a communicating with the hole 71a is formed inside the pillar 72, and the ball B entering the hole 71a is guided to the tilt passage 80. Further, a passage 73b communicating with the hole 71b is formed inside the pillar 72, and the ball B entering the hole 71b is connected to the rear end portion of the feed rod 40 and the fourth guide member 77 via the passage 74 to 76. Guided in between.

The fourth guide member 77 constitutes a wall, is located on the side of the latter half of the feed rod 40, and is inclined in a direction approaching the feed rod 40 from the rear to the front of the feed rod 40 in a plan view (FIG. 1). Further, the upper end portion of the fourth guide member 77, except for the rear end portion, causes the ball B to rise toward the front of the feed rod 40 when the third operator 1c is rotated counterclockwise. It has an upward slope toward the front with respect to the shaft 41. Then, the ball B guided between the rear end portion of the feed rod 40 and the fourth guide member 77 is as shown in FIG. 16C when the third operator 1c is rotated counterclockwise. In addition, due to the sliding contact with the upper end of the third guide member 55 and the shaft 41, the feed rod 40 gradually rises while moving around the shaft 41, and spills from the notch 55a in the middle portion in the front-rear direction of the feed rod 40. It is discharged to the outer launch pad 60.
The fourth guide member 77 has an upward gradient toward the shaft 41 in a side view, and is in a direction approaching the feed rod 40 from the rear to the front of the feed rod 40 in a plan view. It was tilted because it made it easier for the ball B to rise, and either one may be used. The point is that the ball B moves by the rotation of the feed rod 40. In this way, the support of the ball B becomes unstable, and a game with a sense of urgency can be realized.

9. Tilt passage 80
FIG. 12 is a plan view of the tilt passage 80. The tilt passage 80 includes a passage plate 82 in which a meandering passage 81 is formed. The passage plate 82 is configured to be rotatable around a shaft 82a extending in the front-rear direction. As shown in FIG. 13, a triangular protrusion 83 is provided under the passage plate 82. Further, as shown in FIG. 14, a lever 84 having a fifth operator 1e attached to the front end is provided below the board surface. The lever 84 is configured to be rotatable about a shaft 84a extending in the vertical direction. One end of the lever 84 is in contact with the protrusion 83.

The fifth operator 1e is an operator that slides left and right, and by operating the fifth operator 1e left and right, the lever 84 rotates and the tilt passage 80 tilts left and right.

10. Final jump stand 90
As shown in FIG. 15, the final jump table 90 includes a rotating arm 91. The rotating arm 91 is configured to be rotatable around a shaft 91a extending in the width direction. A ball receiver 92 is provided at the tip of the rotating arm 91.

Further, below the board surface, a lever 93 having a sixth operator 1f attached to the front end is provided. The lever 93 is configured to be rotatable about a shaft 93a extending in the vertical direction. A protrusion 93b is provided at the rear end of the lever 93, and the protrusion 93b is in contact with the rotating arm 91.

The sixth operator 1f is a push button type operator, and by pressing the sixth operator 1f, the rotation arm 91 rotates, and the ball B in the ball receiver 92 is inverted by the ball receiver 92. Entering the ring 120 at the goal point G, the ring 121 is beaten.

"how to play"
The ball B is placed on the starting point S, and the first operator 1a is pushed. Then, the ball B gets on the zigzag stairs 10. When the first operator 1a is pushed in this state, only the right staircase 13b goes up, and when the first operator 1a is released, the right staircase 13b goes down. By such an ascending / descending operation of the right staircase 13b, the ball B is moved to the uppermost step of the left staircase 13a while alternately moving the ball B to the left and right staircases 13a and 13b. At that time, if the operation timing of the first operator 1a is bad, the ball B may spill from the zigzag stairs 10, or the ball B may not be successfully jumped to the next stairs.

The ball B that has moved to the top of the left staircase 13a is guided to the seesaw passage 20. In the seesaw passage 20, the ball B is guided to the Ferris wheel maze 30 when the momentum diminishes as it moves back and forth through the seeso passage 20. When the ball B reaches the Ferris wheel maze 30, the third operator 1c is operated. When the third operator 1c is rotated, the drum 32 rotates, and the ball B is guided to the maze in the drum 32. Then, the ball B is guided to the ball outlet 32c while rotating the third operator 1c so as to pass through the maze in one direction or the other direction. Then, the ball B is discharged from the ball outlet 32c into the passage 33. Then, the ball B is guided below the feed rod 40 via the passages 33 to 36.

Here, when the third operator 1c is rotated counterclockwise, the ball B below the feed rod 40 is pushed out to the side of the feed rod 40 by the first guide member 42, and the second guide member 43. Raised by. Then, the ball B that has reached the front end of the second guide member 43 spills from the second guide member 43 and rides on the launching cylinder 51a of the jump table 50. If the rotation operation of the third operator 1c is excessively fast, the ball B may spill from the second guide member 43 on the way and may not get on the launching cylinder 51a of the jumping table 50.

When the second operator 1b is pushed down while the ball B is on the launching cylinder 51a of the jumping table 50, the ball B jumps to the launching cylinder 51b in front of the ball B. When the second operator 1b is pushed down again, the ball B jumps further to the front launching cylinder 51c. Then, when the second operator 1b is pushed down while the ball B is on the launching cylinder 51c, the ball B is launched to the left, jumps over the feed rod 40, and is the third guide member. It falls between 55 and the feed rod 40. If the operation of the second operator 1b is weak, the ball B may fall out of the path on the way.

When the third operator 1c is rotated clockwise while the ball B has fallen between the third guide member 55 and the feed rod 40, the ball B is cooperated with the third guide member 55 and the feed rod 40. Is carried backwards and led from the notch 55a to the launch pad 60. Also in this case, if the rotation operation of the third operator 1c is excessively fast, the ball B may spill from the third guide member 55 on the way, and the ball B may fall out of the path.

The ball B guided to the launch pad 60 is guided to the ball receiver 61. In this state, if the fourth operator 1d is pulled and the hand is released, the ball B enters the ball receiver 62 if it goes well. Then, when the fourth operator 1d is pulled again and the hand is released, the ball B goes up the slope 64 and enters the bowl 70. If the operation of the fourth operator 1d is weak, the ball B returns to the ball receiver 61.

The ball B that has entered the bowl 70 moves around in the bowl 70, and when the momentum weakens, it enters either the holes 71a or 71b. When the ball B enters the hole 71b, the ball B is guided between the rear end portion of the feed rod 40 and the fourth guide member 77 via the passages 74 to 76.

In this state, when the third operator 1c is rotated counterclockwise, the ball B is carried forward in cooperation with the fourth guide member 77 and the feed rod 40, and returns from the notch 55a to the launch pad 60. .. Also in this case, if the rotation operation of the third operator 1c is excessively fast, the ball B may spill from the fourth guide member 77 on the way, and the ball B may fall out of the path.

On the other hand, when the ball B enters the hole 71a, it is guided to the tilt passage 80. When the fifth operator 1e is operated in this state, the passage plate 82 tilts left and right, and the ball B moves in the meandering passage 81. Then, if all goes well, the ball B is carried to the exit, and the ball B can be placed on the ball receiver 92 of the rotating arm 91. If the operation timing of the fifth operator 1e is incorrect, it may be difficult to get out of the tilt passage 80, or the ball B may spill out of the tilt passage 80.

When the ball B gets on the ball receiver 92 of the rotating arm 91, the sixth operator 1f is pushed down. As a result, the rotating arm 91 rotates about the shaft 91a, the ball B enters the ring 120 at the goal point G, and the ring 121 is beaten.

Although the embodiment of the present invention has been described above, the present invention is not limited to such an embodiment, and various modifications can be made without departing from the gist thereof.

In the above embodiment, the first guide member 42 and the second guide member 43 are provided to raise the ball B from below the feed rod 40 to above the feed rod 40, but from the side of the feed rod 40. If only the ball B is to be raised above the feed rod 40, it is sufficient to provide one guide member having an upper end portion of an upward slope in the transport direction with respect to the shaft 41, such as the third guide members 55 and 77. In this case, the guide member may extend parallel to the shaft 41 of the feed rod 40 in a plan view. Alternatively, it is sufficient to provide one guide member formed so as to approach the feed rod 40 in the transport direction in a plan view.
