2. Description of the Related Art A conventional roulette toy is an actual roulette used for gambling, which is basically the same as the actual roulette in terms of structure and game rules.

[0003]

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] In roulette, a single dealer spins the roulette body at a high speed, throws in small balls, and many players bet on which balls will stop to compete. However, in the case of a roulette toy, it is preferable that even a small number of people, such as one or two, can easily play. However, in the case of playing alone with a conventional roulette toy, it is necessary for the player to throw in a ball, and in that case, the dealer role and the player role must be played alone.
There was a problem that the fun was poor and the fun was halved. Even when two players play roulette, one player has to become a dealer, and the player is left alone, so that the players cannot compete with each other. In addition, the roulette toy often loses the ball, which makes the roulette toy itself unusable.

The present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and an object thereof is to provide a game device which exhibits a rotational movement close to that of a real thing and is interesting as a toy without impairing the game property. I am trying.

[0005]

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a rotating game board provided on a pedestal, a driving means for rotationally driving the rotating game board, and a driving means for starting the rotating game board. Switch means for driving one game until the game is stopped. In this case, the rotating game board is preferably a roulette wheel, the roulette wheel body has a dome-shaped transparent cover that covers the top of the roulette wheel, and the switch means is a first switch that activates the drive means and the activated drive means. It is preferable to have a second switch which is turned on by the above and drives the driving means for a predetermined time.

[0006] Further, it is preferable that the doll is further provided with a doll provided on the pedestal and an interlocking means for causing the doll to perform a desired operation in conjunction with the rotational drive of the roulette. . In this case, the interlocking means preferably has a cam mechanism that is connected to the driving means and causes the doll to operate as a dealer. Further, instead of the roulette, and circumferentially from 1 to 6 to rotating disk numbers has been described, it may be sugoroku like game with a ball rolling on the rotating disk.

[0007]

For example, in the roulette, if the driving means for rotationally driving the roulette and the switch means for driving the driving means for one game of the roulette are provided, the roulette is automatically rotated by the operation of the switching means to play the game. It can be carried out. In this case, if the roulette is provided with a transparent cover, the ball does not jump out and the roulette cannot be intentionally stopped, so that the game can be kept fair. Further, if the switch means is constituted by the first switch for activating the drive means and the second switch which is turned on by the activated drive means and drives the drive means for a predetermined time, the player merely makes the first switch.
You can rotate the roulette simply by operating the switch. Moreover, by adjusting the time, the roulette wheel can be made to rotate like a real thing.

On the other hand, if a doll is provided on the pedestal and the interlocking means causes this doll to perform a desired motion in conjunction with the rotational drive of the roulette, the most interesting roulette rotation in the game and this doll Thus, it can appeal to the visual sense of the player. In this case, if the interlocking means is constituted by a cam mechanism that is connected to the driving means and causes the doll to operate the dealer, the doll can be moved by using the driving means, and the movement should be unique and interesting. You can

Is rotated in one direction by the push pin 37, and the relay switch 36 is turned on and off by the cam groove 31b. Then, these operations are performed in one rotation of the rotating disk 31 rotated by the rotation of the fourth gear 28.

The brake lever 33 includes a body 33a and a body 3
Contact arm 33b and braking arm 33 extending from 3a
c and is rotatably attached to the partition plate 11 at the main body 33a. The contact arm 33b and the braking arm 33c are formed in an "L" shape, and the contact arm 33b
Is abutted against the peripheral surface of the rotating disk 31. In order to maintain this contact state at all times, the brake lever 3
A torsion spring 38 is wound around the main body 33a of 3, and the brake lever 33 is rotationally biased by the torsion spring 38. On the other hand, the tip portion of the braking arm 33c comes into contact with the small gear 39 fixed to the rotary shaft 32 of the roulette 2. That is, when the tip of the contact arm 33 b is in contact (contact) with the circumferential surface of the rotary disk 31, the braking arm 33 c is located at a position separated from the small gear 39 of the roulette 2 against the torsion spring 38. The braking arm 33c is in contact with the small gear 39 by the urging force of the torsion spring 38 in a state where the braking arm 33c is rotated and is in contact with the cutout portion 31a of the rotary disk 31. Therefore, the rotation of the roulette 2 is braked while the contact arm 33b of the brake lever 33 is in contact with the cutout portion 31a of the rotary disc 31.

The missing gear 34 has a structure in which teeth are engraved on an arc surface of a quarter circle, and the small gear 39 of the roulette 2 is provided.

The shaft portion 34a of the rotary disk 3 is attached to the rotary disk 31 in a freely rotating state, and the rotary disk 3 is attached to the side surface of the defective gear 34.
The push pin 37 of No. 1 abuts, and the defective gear 34 is rotated with the rotation of the rotary disk 31.
Further, one end of a coil spring 35 is fixed to the peripheral portion of the upper surface of the defective gear 34. Coil spring 3
The other end of 5 is separated from the missing gear 34 and fixed to the partition plate 11, and always urges the missing gear 34 in one direction.

That is, as shown in FIG. 3A, when the rotary disk 31 starts to rotate, the push pin 37 of the rotary disk 31 comes into contact with the defective gear 34 to rotate it. Along with this rotation, the coil spring 35 is extended, and the defective gear 34 is gradually and strongly urged thereby. And
As shown in FIG. 7B, when the fixing point of the coil spring 35 on the side of the defective gear 34 exceeds the dead center, the defective gear 34 separates from the push pin 37 and rapidly starts to rotate by the urging force of the coil spring 35. . A small gear 39 of the roulette 2 is arranged at a position where the rotational speed of the missing gear 34 is maximized, as shown in FIG.
Reference numeral 4 meshes with the small gear 39 to rotate it at high speed. FIG. 6D shows the home position. At this home position, the meshing state between the defective gear 34 and the small gear 39 has already been released, and the small gear 39 continues to rotate due to inertia. Reference numeral 34b in the figure is an escape groove formed in the missing gear 34 so that the front surface of the missing gear 34 does not collide with the push pin 37 when the missing gear 34 overruns. The relief groove 34b also functions as a relief when the crests of the defective gear 34 and the small gear 39 mesh with each other.

On the other hand, the relay switch 36 is at the home position ((d) in the figure), and the cam groove 31 of the rotary disk 31 is in the home position.
It is in the OFF state by engaging with b and is in the state of coming off the cam groove 31b and contacting the circumferential surface of the rotating disk 31.
It becomes a state. The relay switch 36 and the push button switch 4 are connected in parallel to the drive motor 22, and when either of the switches 36 and 4 is turned on, the drive motor 2 is driven.
2 is rotationally driven. That is, when the player turns on the push button switch 4, the drive motor 22 instantly rotates. This rotation causes the rotary disk 31 to rotate somewhat to disengage the relay switch 36 from the cam groove 31b and turn it on. In this ON state, even if the player removes his / her finger from the push button switch 4, the rotary disc 31
Will continue until it makes one revolution and returns to the home position.

Here, a series of movements of the rotary braking mechanism 24 will be briefly described. When the player presses the push button switch 4 to start the rotation of the drive motor 22, the rotary disk 31 rotates to separate from the home position and the relay switch 36 is turned on. When the relay switch 36 is turned on, the drive motor 22 continues to rotate. This rotation causes the rotating disk 31 to rotate the defective gear 34. When the missing gear 34 passes the dead center in this state, the missing gear 34 is rapidly rotated by the coil spring 35. During this rotation, the defective gear 34 meshes with the small gear 39 of the roulette 2 and transmits the rotational power to the roulette 2. Even if the defective gear 34 settles in the steady position, the rotating disk 31 continues to rotate, and then the cutout portion 31a is formed.
Rolls on the contact arm 33b of the brake lever 33. As a result, the braking arm 33c of the brake lever 33, which is separated from the small gear 39 of the roulette 2, moves to the small gear 3
Contact 9. By this contact, the roulette 2 is braked and slowly stopped. In parallel with this, the rotary disc 31 rotates, but when it reaches the home position,
The relay switch 36 is turned off and the rotary disk 31 is stopped together with the drive motor 22.
