Abstract

(57) [Summary] [PROBLEMS] To provide a low-cost amusement facility which can play a game safely in a sanitary environment and which is easy to handle such as disassembly, assembly, and transportation. A tent body is provided in a substantially dome-shaped three-dimensional shape by supplying compressed air from a blower into a tent body formed of a flexible sheet, and a tent is provided at a lower portion of a peripheral side portion of the tent body. Compressed air that is blown toward the center of the tent body from an air outlet provided at substantially equal intervals in the surrounding direction forms an airflow that rises from the center and descends from the periphery in the tent body, and a balloon is formed on the airflow. It is characterized by being made to float and to be able to play with this floating balloon.

Description

[Detailed description of the invention]

[0001]

[Technical field to which the invention belongs]

 The present invention relates to a play equipment mainly for infants, which is configured to float a balloon and play a game.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 Conventionally, as a game facility of the above-mentioned type, there is provided a strut, a net, a balloon, and a blower, a structure in which an airflow is formed by a blower in a facility body assembled from the strut and the net, and the balloon is suspended in the airflow. Has been proposed (see, for example, Japanese Patent No. 2729364).

[0003]

[Problems to be solved by the invention]

 Amusement facilities with the above configuration are installed mainly in recreational areas, amusement parks, and various other event venues, and often move to the next performance area in a relatively short period of time, making disassembly and assembly easy and convenient for transportation and transportation. It is desirable that due consideration is given to the safety of the play facilities, which are mainly for infants. However, the above-mentioned conventional structure has a structure in which the framework of the equipment is assembled from the pillars, so it takes time and labor to assemble and disassemble, and it is necessary to provide a large number of pillars. there were. Also, if the framework of the equipment was assembled from pillars, there was a risk that children and others would accidentally collide with the pillars during play, which was not very favorable in terms of safety. In the case of a conventional structure, if a blower is used as a blower, it is very dangerous if the blower is installed at the lower end of the column.Therefore, the installation location of the blower is limited to the upper end of the column, and therefore the direction of the air flow is also limited. However, there was an inconvenience of being restricted to downward blowing from the upper end.

An object of the present invention is to provide an amusement facility which is easy to disassemble, convenient for moving and transporting, has excellent safety, and can blow air from below.

[0005]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 The present invention comprises a tent main body composed of a flexible sheet, and a blower that supplies compressed air into the tent main body to maintain the tent main body in a predetermined three-dimensional shape without using a support, A blow duct is provided at the lower part of the peripheral side of the tent body and extends in the direction around the tent, and is blown into the blow duct toward the center of the tent body from blow openings provided at substantially equal intervals in the direction around the tent. The present invention relates to a game facility, wherein an air flow is formed in a tent main body by compressed air from the blower, a balloon is floated in the air flow, and the balloon can play with the floating balloon.

[0006]

[Embodiment of the invention]

 An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The play equipment of the present invention includes an air tent A as shown in FIG. The air tent A is composed of a tent body 1 made of a flexible sheet and a blower 2 for applying an internal pressure necessary for maintaining the three-dimensional shape of the tent body 1 to the tent 1. An entrance 3 (see FIG. 3) is provided at a lower portion of the peripheral side portion. Incidentally, the tent main body 1 does not have any columns or the like for maintaining the shape, and is configured to hold the shape only by air pressure.

[0007] The automatic adjustment of the internal pressure of the tent body 1 is performed by an exhaust port 4 formed at the center of the top of the tent, and exhaust is also performed from the exhaust port 4 and / or a gap formed along the periphery of the lower end of the tent. You may do so.

In order to prevent the tent from rising, a cylindrical edge 1a is formed along the periphery of the lower end of the tent, and a weight, for example, a steel pipe (not shown) is preferably provided in the cylindrical edge 1a. Means such as insertion and installation in the state of a winding can be adopted. In the tent main body 1, a floor sheet 8 can be laid as needed.

[0009] Around the lower part of the tent main body 1, a ventilation duct 5 is provided so as to surround substantially the entire periphery except for the entrance 3 and the duct 5 is provided with the air duct 5 as shown in FIG. A plurality of air outlets 6 which are preferably opened obliquely downward toward the center of the tent main body 1 are provided at a plurality of locations at substantially equal intervals in the direction around the tent, for example, at eight locations at 45 ° intervals.

When compressed air is supplied from the blower 2 to the blower duct 5 through the auxiliary blower duct 5 a, the air is blown from the blower opening 6 of the blower duct 5 toward the center of the tent body 1. Due to the blowing, an airflow is generated in the tent body 1 which rises from the center and descends from the top along the peripheral side as shown by arrows in FIG. It is preferable that the exhaust port 4 is formed at the top of the tent in order to actively generate the upflow and thus the airflow.

When the balloon 7 is inserted into the tent body 1 in a state where the air flow is generated, the balloon 7 flies from the center to the top due to the internal air flow, and after reaching the top, a parabola is formed. While falling in the shape of a circle, they gather at the center of the bottom, start riding on the rising flow again, and thereafter repeat such circulating floating.

Therefore, in the tent main body 1, it is possible to play with the balloons 7 floating in the space inside the tent, and it is possible to enjoy playing in a fantastic space in which the colorful balloons 7 dance.

As the balloon 7, a rubber balloon, a paper balloon, a hollow plastic lightweight balloon, or the like can be used.

[0014]

[Effect of the invention]

 According to the present invention, the following effects can be obtained.

(B) Since the main body of the equipment is composed of an air tent, there is no need to assemble, disassemble, move and transport the columns, and the air tent blower is also used as a source of air flow in the tent. The equipment is also simple, and assembling, dismantling, and moving and transporting are easy, and a low-cost game facility can be provided.

[0016] The tent body is made of a flexible sheet, and has a structure in which dangerous articles such as columns and blowers have been cut away, so that infants and the like can play in games safely and have excellent safety. ing.

Since fresh air constantly circulates in the tent main body, it is possible to play in a sanitary atmosphere regardless of playing in a closed space called an air tent.

As a result, it is possible to provide an amusement facility which is low in cost and easy to handle, and which can satisfy all of amusement, safety and hygiene.
