DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a game apparatus used in a novel game method that can be easily enjoyed by those who are not skilled in motor nerves such as the elderly and the disabled.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, there is a gate ball and the like as a game method which can be easily performed even by those who are not skilled in motor nerves such as the elderly and the disabled. Gateball is played outdoors, not in the rain, and requires a relatively large stadium.

[0003]

The present invention can be implemented without being affected by the weather, without requiring a large area, and can be played in a gymnasium, a room, a corridor, etc., and can be easily enjoyed without burden even for the elderly or disabled. It is an object of the present invention to provide a game device used for a new game that can be played.

[0004] Such a new game is a game in which a target, a piece pushed toward the target, and a stick for hitting and pushing the target and the piece are used to compete in a gymnasium, a room or a corridor. Compete on the floor. Although the rules of the game and the like can be changed as appropriate, the outline of the game is a game in which a piece is pushed out from a predetermined position toward a target on the floor surface with a stick, and scoring is based on the distance of the piece from the target.

[0005]

A game device of the present invention used in such a novel game has a disk-shaped target having at least a flat contact surface, and an arc-shaped at least the contact surface that can be distinguished from the target. It is characterized by comprising a plurality of disc-shaped pieces, and a stick comprising a handle and a head for hitting the target or the piece, and having at least one surface of the head with an inclined side surface. .

In a preferred aspect of the present invention, the hitting portion of the head of the stick is formed in a straight line or a concave round shape in a plan shape, and the tip of the head of the stick is formed in a round shape in a side shape. It can be assumed that.

[0007]

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. 1A and 1B are explanatory views showing an example of a game device according to an embodiment. FIG. 1A is a side view of a target, FIG. 1B is a plan view thereof, and FIG. (D) is a plan view thereof, (e) is a plan view of the stick, and (f) of FIG.
Is a plan view thereof. The game device according to the present invention includes the target 2
And a piece 4 pushed out toward the target 2 and a stick 6 pushing out the target 2 and the piece 4.

First, the target 2 is formed in a disk shape with the upper surface 8 and the lower surface 10 on the ground contact side to the floor surface being flat (dimensions: 50 to 90 mmφ, thickness: 10 to 25 mm). The material may be either synthetic resin or wooden. Target 2
Is not limited to a disk shape, but the upper surface 8 may be formed in, for example, an arc shape as shown in the side view of FIG. 2 (a). However, even when a piece collides, a frictional force acts on the target. The lower surface 10 is formed in a planar shape so that it is difficult to move. The entire surface may be colored, patterned, or the like, but at least the upper surface is appropriately marked with a mark, such as a colored pattern, a symbol, or the like, so that it can be identified from the outside.

Next, the lower surface 12 of the piece 4 on the ground surface side to the floor is formed in an arc shape (dimensions are 50 to 90).
mmφ, thickness 10 to 25 mm). If the area of contact with the floor is small, it is easy to be repelled when it collides with the target 2 or another piece. Like the target, the material may be made of synthetic resin or wooden. The shape of the piece 4 only has to be an arc on the lower surface, and both the upper surface 14 and the lower surface 12 may be formed in an arc shape as shown in the side view of FIG. Also, similar to target 2 above,
Although the entire surface may be colored, patterned, or the like, at least the upper surface is appropriately marked with a mark, such as a colored pattern, a symbol, or the like, so that it can be identified from the outside. A plurality of types of pieces are prepared corresponding to the number of teams, and pieces of the same type are prepared by multiplying the number of hands of each person by the number of persons in the same team.

Next, the stick 6 has a head 16 and a handle 18 for hitting and pushing the target 2 and the piece 4.
The size of the head is 40-80 mm in front and rear width and 60-width in width.
120mm, the thickness is about 15-30mm, the handle is about 15-30mmφ, and the total length of the stick is 600-
It is about 1200 mm. The planar shape of the head 16 is formed in a substantially inverted trapezoidal shape, and the edge of the head 16 serves as the hitting portion 20. The striking portion 20 may be formed linearly in a planar shape as shown in FIG. 1 (e), or formed in a concave radius as shown in the plan views of FIGS. 2 (c) and 2 (d). Is also good. If it is formed in a concave round shape, it is easier to control the striking direction than in a linear shape. Therefore, the shape of the stick to be used may be determined according to the skill. Conversely, the striking portion can be formed in a convex round shape (FIG. 2 (e)). However, in this case, it is difficult to control the direction of the struck target or the piece, and it is difficult to control according to the skill. The fun of the game is halved, which is not desirable.

As can be seen from the side view of FIG.
An inclination θ (the inclination angle is about 15 to 20 °) is provided on the tip side of the head 16. In use, the user slides this inclined surface in contact with the floor to hit a target or a piece. In addition, the tip of the head is formed in a curved shape (round shape) in a side surface shape so as to be smooth. If the tip is formed in a round shape, the floor surface is less likely to be damaged and slippery during use. FIG. 1F shows an example in which the inclination θ is provided only on the lower surface 22 on the side in contact with the floor surface. However, as shown in the side view of FIG. , 24 may be provided with an inclination θ so that any surface may be slid while being in contact with the floor surface and hit. If the stick having an inclination only on one side shown in FIG. 1F is used upside down, the floor surface may be damaged by the tip portion 26 of the head 16 during use. It is preferable to provide the inclined surfaces θ on both sides 22 and 24 so that even if the user is absorbed in the game, they can be used without distinction between the upper and lower sides. Further, as shown in FIG. 3C, if the abrasion-preventing sheet 27 is adhered to at least the lower surface 22 in contact with the floor surface, the risk of damaging the floor surface during use can be further reduced. It may be provided on both the lower surface side and the upper surface side. As such a sheet, a plastic sheet having high lubricity and excellent wear resistance is preferable.

1 (f) and FIG. 3 (a) show the case where the handle 18 and the head 16 are attached linearly in the longitudinal direction of the handle 18, but as shown in FIG. 3 (b). Alternatively, the handle 18 and the head 16 may be attached at an angle (θ). 1 (e), 1 (f), 2 (c) to
3 (d) and FIGS. 3 (a) and 3 (b), the head 16 and the handle 18
And are formed of different members so that they are joined together, but they may be integrally formed. The handle 18 may be provided with a slip stopper (not shown) or a handle for easy gripping.

In order to push out a target or a piece using this stick, as shown in the side view of FIG. 4, the target 2 or the piece 4 placed on the floor surface 28 is hit with the hitting portion 20 of the head 16 of the stick 6.
By hitting in the direction of arrow A, the target 2 and the piece 4 are pushed out in the direction of arrow B.

Next, an example of a method of using the above-mentioned game device will be described with reference to the drawings. An example in which two teams compete in a team of two will be described. If the floor space of the gymnasium or the room has an appropriate size (for example, 4m × 1.8m), it is possible to compete. If one player has three pieces, one team prepares six pieces and two teams prepares a total of twelve pieces. In this case, marks belonging to the same team are marked with the same color, the same pattern, the same symbol, or the like so that they can be distinguished from the other team's pieces. For example, pieces belonging to the same team may be unified with pictures of various animals, and other teams may be unified with pictures of various insects and various fishes so that pieces of each team can be identified.

One of the teams that has won the Janken puts the target 2 on the start line 30, pushes the target 2 with the stick 6, and stops the target 2 within a predetermined range. For example, if the player does three times and does not stop within the predetermined range, the right to push out the target is transferred to the opposing team. Alternatively, the target 2 may be previously placed at an appropriate position.

In this way, the team that has determined an effective target will take the lead. One of the starting teams has a start line of 30
Put the piece 4 in the box and push it out with the stick 6. Next, the subsequent team pushes out the piece 4 with the stick 6 from the start line 30. After that, the first team and the second team alternately push their pieces from the start line with a stick. At this time, the piece sometimes collides with the target or another piece and moves like a ball. In this way, all the pieces of both teams are pushed out. If there is a piece of your team that is closer to the target than any of the opponent's pieces, the score will be the number of pieces. By attaching a scale to the handle of the stick, you can easily measure the distance between the target and the piece without having to prepare a separate measure. For example, the arrangement of the piece and the target 2 when all the pieces owned by both teams are pushed out (the piece of the own team is 4a,
If the opponent's piece is indicated by 4b) as shown in the plan view of FIG. 5, the score of the own team is 3 points. Thus, the one-hole competition ends.

At the next hole, a competition will be conducted in the same manner as above, and scoring will be made. The winning team is the team with the highest total score, which is the sum of the scores for each of the multiple holes. Needless to say, the number of people in one team and the number of teams to compete can be arbitrarily changed. The game method, rules and scoring method are not limited to the above, and can be arbitrarily changed.

[0018]

According to the gaming machine of the present invention, the game can be performed without being affected by the weather, without requiring a large area, and can be played in a gymnasium, a room, a corridor, and the like. It is possible to provide a game device used for a new game which can be enjoyed in a fun game.
