BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a target hitting game machine which competes to hit a target projecting outside a field board.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art A game machine called a mole-striking game machine or an alligator alligator panic game machine is widely known. In this type of game machine, a target imitating a mole or crocodile is reciprocated between the front side and the back side of the field board, and the player projects the target protruding from the field board using an appropriate hitting tool. Compete how many times you can hit. For example, Japanese Unexamined Utility Model Publication No. 2-3586 has proposed a target hitting game machine which hits a target imitating a crocodile by the present applicant.

[0003]

However, in the conventional target hitting game machines including the one disclosed in Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 23586/1990, a field board is fixedly installed, and only a target is mounted on the field board. Reciprocate, and the player hits it. in this case,
Since the moving range of the target is limited to the reciprocating motion of up and down, back and forth, and left and right, there is a limit to the fun of the game.

[0004] The present invention has been made to solve the above problems, and has as its object to diversify the actions of a target to improve the fun as a game.

[0005]

In order to achieve the above object, a target hitting game machine according to the present invention is a target hitting game machine which competes to hit a target projecting outside a field board, and has a cylindrical shape. And a field panel having a plurality of target passage holes, a field panel rotating means for rotating the field panel about its own central axis, and rotating about the central axis of the field panel integrally with the field panel. And a target projecting to the outside of the field board or retreating to the inside of the field board through the target passage hole.

[0006] The configuration for moving the target projecting or retracting with respect to the field panel is not limited to a specific configuration, but can be configured as follows, for example. In other words, the target is always elastically urged in the direction of retracting the target into the field panel by an elastic urging member, for example, a spring, and the cam member is arranged inside the field panel. In this configuration, when the target rotating integrally with the field panel moves to the cam member, the cam member causes the target to protrude outside the field panel against the spring force.

[0007]

[Action] The target rotates with the rotation of the field board,
During the rotation, it protrudes to the outside of the field board at an appropriate timing. The player hits the projected target with an appropriate hitting tool. The target not only reciprocates up and down, left and right or back and forth, but also rotates with the field board, so that the manner of operation is diversified. Therefore, the fun of the game for the player is improved.

[0008]

1 shows an embodiment of a target hitting game machine according to the present invention. This game machine has a housing 1 and a field panel 2 arranged inside the housing 1. The field plate 2 is formed in a cylindrical shape, that is, in a drum shape, and a circular concave portion 3 is formed at an appropriate position on the outer peripheral surface thereof.
Are provided, and the target 4 is arranged in the concave portions. The recess 3 forms a hole for passing the target. In the figure,
Although the target 4 is simply drawn in a cylindrical shape for convenience, the target 4 is actually formed in a shape imitating an animal or other suitable object, or an appropriate pattern is drawn.

As shown in FIG. 3, a columnar bar 5 is integrally formed on the bottom surface of the target 4, and a cam follower 6 formed by a rotating roller is rotatably attached to the tip of the bar 5. . Although a large number of targets 4 are prepared, FIG. 3 shows only two targets for convenience.

Inside the field panel 2, an internal drum 7 having a smaller diameter than the field panel 2 is coaxially arranged, and an angled cam member 8 is provided at an appropriate position on the outer peripheral surface of the internal drum 7. Is provided. A compression spring 9 as an elastic urging member is provided around the bar 5 of the target 4, and the target 4 is usually moved by the spring force of the spring 9.
The position stored in the recess 3, ie, the field panel 2
It is placed in a position to evacuate inside.

In FIG. 2, a drum-shaped field board 2 is
It is integrally fixed to a rotating shaft 11 rotatably supported by two columns 10. The rotating shaft 11 is driven and rotated by a motor 12 as a field panel rotating means, and the rotation causes the field panel 2 to rotate around the rotating shaft 11 in a counterclockwise direction (direction of arrow A) in FIG. Returning to FIG. 2, the inner drum 7 is connected to the rotating shaft 1 by two bearings 13.
1 is supported rotatably but immovable in the axial direction.

Gear 1 fixed to right side of internal drum 7
4 meshes with a gear 15 fixed on the rotating shaft 11. When the field board 2 rotates in the direction of arrow A in FIG. 3, the internal drum 7 rotates in the direction opposite to the direction of arrow A, that is, in the counterclockwise direction in FIG. I do. When the field board 2 rotates in the direction of arrow A and the internal drum 7 rotates in the direction of arrow B opposite thereto, the cam member 8 and the cam follower 6 may collide with each other. In this case, as shown by the arrow C in FIG. 3, the bar 5 moves outward in the radial direction against the spring force of the spring 9, whereby the target 4 protrudes out of the field board 2. .

As shown in FIG. 4, the target 4 and the bar 5 are connected to each other by a retaining pin 16, and a compression spring 17 is provided between the two. A sensor 18, for example, a microswitch, is fixed to the outer peripheral side surface of the bar 5, while a detection piece 19 is fixed to the lower end of a cylindrical sleeve formed in the center of the target 4.

The operation of the target hitting game machine having the above configuration will be described below.

In FIG. 1, when a coin is inserted into a coin insertion slot (not shown) provided at a predetermined position of a casing 1, a game is started, and as shown in FIG. In the direction of arrow A, the internal drum 7 rotates in the direction of arrow B opposite thereto.

When the target 4 rotating integrally with the field panel 2 arrives in front of the player and the cam member 8 rotating together with the internal drum 7 moves to the target 4,
The target 4 is pushed up by the cam member 8 and projects out of the field board 2. The player hits the projected target 4 from above using an appropriate hitting tool. When the target 4 is successfully hit, the target 4 moves downward (arrow D) with respect to the bar 5 in FIG. 4 and immediately returns upward by the spring force of the spring 17 in FIG. When the target 4 moves in the direction of arrow D, the detection piece 19 is detected by the sensor 18. The detection of the detection piece 19 by the sensor 18 determines that the target 4 has been hit, and the housing 1 (FIG. 1)
Is displayed on a display (not shown) provided at an appropriate position. For example, points are added.

In this embodiment, the target does not protrude or retreat with respect to the fixedly installed field panel, but the field panel itself rotates and moves, and the target moves accordingly. It has become. Therefore, the movement of the target 4 and the field board 2 is diversified for the player, and the fun as a game is greatly improved.

Although the present invention has been described with reference to one embodiment, the present invention is not limited to the embodiment.
Various modifications can be made within the technical scope described in the claims.

For example, the internal drum 7 carrying the cam member 8 does not always need to be rotated. However, when the player wants to perform a surprising operation on the target 4 from the viewpoint of the player, it is preferable to also rotate the internal drum 7.

In the above embodiment, the target 4 is moved forward and backward with respect to the field panel 2 by the cam member 8 separate from the target 4. However, by providing a drive source such as a solenoid to each target 4, The cam member 8 and the internal drum 7 that carries the cam member 8 can be omitted.

[0021]

According to the target hitting game machine of the first aspect, the movement of the target and the field board is diversified, and the fun as a game is improved.

According to the target hitting game machine of the second aspect, all targets can be driven only by the driving source for driving the field board, so that it is economical and the structure is simple.

According to the third aspect of the present invention, the operation of the target can be further diversified.
