A 7-segment LED 17a, 17b and an LED 17c arranged side by side are provided to constitute a display unit. The LED 17c is configured to display "0" in the first digit of the distance display.

At a position near the display window 16 of the head unit 13, a select key 18 composed of a push button is provided. This is operated when selecting a golf club or changing the display.

As shown in FIG. 2, a shaft portion 12 of the golf experience toy 10 has a battery box 20 (in which a circuit diagram of FIG. 9 is provided) inside left and right housings 12L and 12R each having a vertically divided cylinder. 3), a shot switch 15 'for generating a signal when the shot key 15 is depressed, and an operation button (a leaf switch. A signal is generated when swinging. Therefore, the signal is hereinafter referred to as a “swing switch” 21, a lever member 22 for generating a signal to the swing switch 21, a moving body locking member 23, a hollow portion 24, and a moving body collision. The unit 25 is provided.

The hollow portion 24 forms a long space in the vertical direction of the shaft, a moving body locking member 23 is disposed at an upper end thereof, and a moving body collision portion 25 (FIG. 3) is provided at a lower end thereof. A steel sphere 26, which is a moving body, is housed therein so as to be vertically movable. The moving member locking member 23 can lock the sphere, and can lock the sphere 26 unless a special force is applied. The lever member 22 is rotated by the movement of the sphere 26 and changes the state of the terminal of the swing switch 21 to generate a signal.

The housing 12L is provided with a through hole 27 through which the shot key 15 is operably protruded.

The left and right housings 12L and 12R are screwed together to form a cylindrical shaft portion 12. The upper portion of the shaft portion 12 (the portion housing the battery box 20) is fitted and covered by a grip 11 formed of a cylindrical housing.

Next, FIG. 3 and FIG. 4 are partial cross-sectional views of the shaft portion 12, showing the relationship among the swing switch 21, the lever member 22, the locking member 23, and the sphere 26.

The movable hollow portion 24 of the sphere 26 has a plurality of ridges 28 (FIG. 2) on the inner wall of the housing so that the sphere 26 can move up and down without horizontal swing. A moving path 29 is formed.

The swing switch 21 is mounted with both terminals 21a and 21b facing upward. One terminal 21a has an auxiliary piece 21c protruding from the back surface.

The lever member 22 integrally includes two levers 22b and 22c above and below a rotation shaft 22a, and the upper lever 22b has an inwardly protruding portion 22d at an upper end thereof. The portion 22d is in contact with the back surface of the auxiliary piece 21c of the terminal 21a.

The sphere 26 abutting on the pole 23c is attracted to the ball 23c, which is a magnetic material, so that the ball 26 is kept locked even when the head 13 is turned downward.

As shown in FIG. 4, when the sphere 26 is in contact with the pole 23c, the lever 22c below the lever member 22 is pushed outward by the sphere 26, and the lever member 22 is pivoted about the rotation axis. Since both the terminals 21a and 21b are in contact with each other since the projection 22d of the upper lever 22b presses the auxiliary piece 21d of the terminal 21a.

When the player swings while gripping the grip 11, the sphere 26 is separated from the ball 23c by centrifugal force. When the sphere 26 is detached from the locking member 23, the terminal 21a of the swing switch 21 is separated from the terminal 21b by the restoring force, so that the swing switch 21 is turned off. On the other hand, the sphere 26 detached from the locking member 23 moves in the hollow part 24 and collides with the moving body collision part 25.

The moving body collision portion 25 includes two projections 25a integral with a screw stopper protruding inward from the housing, and a screw 25b screwed inside, and is formed integrally with the bottom surface 25c of the housing. As a result, it has the strength to withstand an impact, transmits the impact to the housing, and gives the player the same hand as holding the grip to the hand holding the grip 11.

The moving body is a sphere, but the shape of the moving body is not particularly limited, and may be a column shape or each column shape, and a part of the surface may be covered with a synthetic resin or the like. However, when the moving body collides with the moving body colliding portion 25, in order to generate a collision sound and impact as when hitting a golf ball, the portion colliding with the moving body colliding portion is made of a hard material. Desirably.

As shown in FIG. 2, the head 13 has a through hole 41 from which the select key 18 protrudes and an opening 42 corresponding to the display window 16, and a shaft connecting cylinder 40 protrudes. Housing consisting of an upper surface portion 13U and a curved lower surface portion 13L, a display unit housed inside the housing, a speaker 46, a power switch 47, and a select switch for generating a signal when the select key 18 is pressed. 18 'is hired.

The lower housing 13L is provided with a sound emission portion 48 for sound generated from the speaker 46 and a through hole 49 for projecting an operation portion of the power switch 47.

The display unit includes a spacer 43 that constitutes the light emitter array and has an ED disposed thereon, a first circuit board 44 on which the seven-segment LEDs 17a and 17b are mounted, and a second circuit on which an LED 17c is mounted. It is formed by screwing the substrate 45 and the display window 16 made of a transparent plate member. On the second circuit board 45, a microcomputer (hereinafter referred to as "microcomputer") 30 as control means for controlling a display operation and a sound generation operation is mounted.

The lower end of the shaft portion 12 is inserted into the shaft connecting tube portion 40 and screwed.

Next, FIG. 5 is a circuit diagram of an electric system of the golf experience toy 10, and FIG. 6 is a block diagram thereof.

The display operation and the sound generation operation of the golf experience toy 10 are controlled by the microcomputer 30. The microcomputer 30 includes a central processing unit (CPU) 31, a read-only memory (ROM) 32 in which a game processing program and set conditions are stored, and a random access memory (RAM) 33 in which data necessary for the game processing are stored. And a random number generator 34 for generating a random number used in the progress of the game, and inputs signals generated by the short switch 15 ', the swing switch 21 and the select switch 18', and A column switching circuit 35 and a row switching circuit 36 for driving 14 LEDs constituting the luminous body row of the window and 14 LEDs constituting the 7-segment LEDs 17a and 17b, and a drive for emitting the "0" display LED 17c. Circuit 37, an input / output port (I / O) serving as an interface with an audio signal generating circuit 38 for generating a sound from the speaker 46. And a chromatography g) 39, the clock source 50 is connected to the CPU 31.

FIG. 7 shows an arrangement of the light emitters in the display window 16. By the column switching circuit 35 and the row switching circuit 36, the 14 LEDs 16a, 16b, 16c, 16d, 16e, 16f, 16g, 16h, 16i, 16j, 16k, 161, 16m, and 16n which constitute the luminous body row , Seven LEDs 17aa, 17ab, 17ac, 17ad, 17ae, 17af, 17ag constituting the seven-segment LED 17a, and seven LEDs 17ba, 17bb, 17bc, 17bd, 17be, 17bf, 17bg constituting the seven-segment LED 17b. Is turned on or off.

The CPU 31 can freely turn on / off each of the 28 LEDs by sending a command signal to the column switching circuit 35 and the row switching circuit 36.

Next, the program for the playing procedure of the golf experience playing toy 10 may be appropriately set using the above configuration.

As an example, when the player operates the switch 25 in the procedure from the start of the game to before the ball hits the green, the power is turned on. The CPU 31 performs "mode selection display processing".

As such a mode, a “single player mode” in which one player plays, a “two player mode” in which two players play a course, and a “hole select mode” in which one player plays a hole are set. I just need. In this case, the respective modes are notified by the light emission of the light emitter array LEDs 16k, 16n, 16b and the light emission of the 7-segment LED 17a.

When the player presses the shot key 15 while the desired mode is displayed, the shot switch 15 ′ is turned “ON” and the mode is selected. Upon detecting this signal, the CPU 31 may stop the mode display.

Next, the hole number may be indicated by the seven-segment LEDs 17a and 17b. For example, holes 1 to 9 are displayed as “H1” to “H9”, and holes 10 to 18 are displayed as “10” to “18”. Then, the display of the hole numbers is sequentially changed, and when the player presses the shot key 15 while the desired hole number is displayed, the shot switch 15 'is turned on (step 7). Upon detecting the signal, the CPU 31 determines “YES”, and then performs “hole information display processing”.

As the hole information display, the 7-segment LEDs 17a and 17b display the hole number, the prescribed number of strokes of the hole, and the number of swings performed by the player, and the 7-segment LEDs 17a, 17b and 17c display the hole information. The distance (unit: yard) from the point where the player hits the ball to the cup may be displayed, and the state of the wind may be displayed as appropriate using the light emitting array LEDs 16b to 16h.

As a display of a hole, the CPU 31 can turn on the seven-segment LEDs 17a and 17b to display a hole number, for example, the third hole “H3”. When a predetermined time (for example, one second) has elapsed, the seven-segment LEDs 17a and 17b and the LED for displaying "0" are turned on, and if the distance from the ball hitting position to the cup is, for example, 230 yards, "230" Is displayed. Similarly, every time a predetermined time elapses, the 7-segment LEDs 17a and 17b are turned on. If the prescribed number of strokes (par) of the hole is, for example, 3, “P3” is displayed, and the 7-segment LED 17b is turned on. For a hit, for example, for the first hit, “1” is displayed. Similarly, after a lapse of a predetermined time, the state of the wind selected by the above-described random number extraction, for example, the LEDs 16d, 16e, and 16f are simultaneously turned on using the light-emitting body array LEDs to display "no wind", and After a lapse of a predetermined time, the display may return to the hole number display and a series of displays may be repeated.

When the player presses the shot key 15 while the hall information display processing is being performed, the shot switch 15 ′ is turned on, and the CPU 31 which has detected this signal causes the automatic selection display of the club to be performed. Can be set to do so.

When the player wants to use a club other than the displayed (recommended) club, the select switch 18 ′ is turned on by operating the select key 18, and the CPU 31 outputs this signal. Upon detection, the display of various clubs is changed, and the player presses the select key 18 as many times as necessary until the club to be used is displayed. When the display of the club to be used is displayed, the player presses the shot key 15. By setting to operate, the club to be used can be determined.

Next, when swinging, the player moves the head of the club upward and the grip downward, so that the sphere 26 moves to the locking member 23 and is locked by the locking member 23, and swings. -The switch 21 may be set to be turned on.

When the player grasps the grip and swings, the sphere 26 locked by the locking member 23 is separated from the locking member 23 by centrifugal force, and the terminal 21b of the swing switch 21 is restored. The terminal is separated from the terminal 21a by the force. This change in state causes the swing switch 21 to generate a signal (swing signal). When the player presses the shot key 15, the shot switch 15 'generates a signal (shot signal). The CPU 31 detects these signals. The ROM 32 stores a table (not shown) which is used as a reference for the direction / flying distance determination. The direction / flying distance level is determined by the time difference from the occurrence of the “swing signal” to the occurrence of the “shot signal”. It should be set based on this. The flight distance may be indicated by the 7-segment LEDs 17a and 17b and the LED for displaying "0" 17c, and the flight direction may be indicated by the light-emitting body LEDs 16b to 16n.

The hole-out result may be displayed by the seven-segment LEDs 17a and 17b repeatedly displaying the hole number, the prescribed number of hits, and the number of hits of the player every time a predetermined time elapses.

The ROM 32 stores a plurality of onomatopoeic sounds, for example, a ball landing sound “Dosa”, a flying sound “Hyun”, “Nice on!”, “Nice par”, “Awesome!”, “ A sound generation table for sending a signal to the audio signal generation circuit 38 is stored so that the speaker 46 generates “Birdy”, “Eagle!”, And the like. CPU 31 selects a sound to be generated based on the determination result, and generates a sound generation signal in a timely manner in an audio signal generation circuit. Can be sent to
