Description

  In the present invention, two or more lotteries (usually in a spherical shape) are accommodated in a container, and one lottery is discharged from the container by rotating the container around a predetermined rotation axis (normally 1 lottery is discharged every time it is rotated.

  Two or more lotteries are stored in a container, and the lottery device in which one lottery is discharged from the container by rotating the container around a predetermined rotation axis is commonly referred to as “Garapon”, “Rattle”, “ It is called "Arai-type rotary forklift", "Arai-type rotary lottery machine", etc., and one lottery can be picked out randomly from multiple lotteries, so lottery in shopping streets and prizes at events will be lottery Have been used for many years so far (see, for example, Patent Documents 1 to 6).

Japanese Patent Publication No. 7-852 (Patent No. 97016) Japanese Examined Patent Publication No. 7-2779 (Patent No. 98145) Japanese Patent Publication No. 5-3015 Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 3-10797 Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 4-5722 Japanese Utility Model Publication No.7-1129

However, such a lottery machine is provided with a container for storing a lottery and a support base for supporting the container, and the container and the support base are usually a plurality of plate-like plates. Since timber is joined (for example, using metal fittings, adhesives, etc.) or in some cases, it is configured using a metal material, so that the work cost when manufacturing a lottery machine (for example, a plurality of pieces) The work for joining the plate-like timber is required.) And the material cost is extremely high, so the lottery machine is expensive, and the lottery machine cannot be used easily in various places and situations.
Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a lottery machine that can be configured at low cost and can be easily used in various places and situations.

The lottery device of the present invention (hereinafter referred to as “the present lottery device”) accommodates at least two lottery items and discharges the lottery items by rotating around a predetermined rotation axis, and supports the containers. A lottery machine, and a mounting means for attaching the container to the support base so as to be rotatable about the rotation axis, wherein at least a part of the container and the support base is It is a lottery machine that is made of paper.
This lottery machine, like the lottery machines conventionally used, accommodates at least two or more lottery objects and discharges the lottery objects by rotating around a predetermined rotation axis, and for supporting the containers And a mounting means for attaching the container to the support base so as to be rotatable around the rotation axis. For this reason, since the container is attached to the support table so as to be rotatable around the rotation axis by the attaching means, the container stably supported by the support table can freely rotate around the rotation axis. In this way, by rotating the container supported rotatably around the rotation axis around the rotation axis, a lottery randomly selected from at least two lotteries accommodated in the inner space of the container can be obtained. (Normally, one of the two or more lotteries is randomly selected and discharged.)
And in this lottery machine, at least one part of this container and this support stand is formed with paper. Note that “at least a part of the container and the support base is formed of paper” means (1) when at least a part of the container (of course, it may be all) is formed of paper ( 2) When at least a part (of course, it may be all) of the support base is formed of paper, (3) at least a part (of course, all) of the container and the support base It includes both cases where both at least a part (of course, it may be all) are formed of paper. When at least a part of the container and the support base is formed of paper in this way, the container and the support base are configured using a plurality of plate-like timbers and metal materials like a conventional lottery machine. Therefore, the lottery machine can be a lottery machine that can be easily used in various places and situations at low cost.

The whole of the container may be formed of paper.
Since the container needs to accommodate at least two (usually many) lotteries, a wall is formed so as to surround the internal space. When such a wall is formed of a plurality of plate-like timbers or metal materials as in the case of a conventional lottery machine, the cost of forming a container is extremely high because it requires joining of plate-like timbers, metal forming, etc. (If the container is expensive, the lottery will be expensive.) For this reason, if the entire container is formed of paper, the cost can be greatly reduced as compared with the case of forming a plurality of plate-like timbers, metal materials, and the like. It can be set as a lottery machine that can be easily used in places and situations.

The container includes a cylindrical side surface portion, a first bottom surface portion attached so as to close one end of the side surface portion, and a second bottom surface portion attached so as to close the other end of the side surface portion. The side surface portion and the first bottom surface portion may be formed by molding a single sheet of paper.
As described above, the container needs to contain at least two (usually many) lotteries, and a wall is formed so as to surround the internal space (of course, for extracting the lottery from the internal space to the external space). With an opening). The container is a hollow column (usually a straight column, for example, a hollow (straight) polygonal column (for example, a hollow (straight) octagonal column, a hollow (straight) heptagonal column, a hollow (straight) hexagon). Column, hollow (straight) pentagonal column, hollow (straight) quadrangular column, etc.) and hollow (rectangular) cylinder). The first bottom surface portion that closes one end of the second surface portion, and the second bottom surface portion that closes the other end of the side surface portion. At this time, the side surface portion and the first bottom surface portion can be formed by molding (for example, bending) a sheet of paper (the side surface portion, the first bottom surface portion, and the second bottom surface portion are integrated with each other). This may be formed by molding a sheet of paper.) This reduces the work required to form the container compared to forming and joining the side and first bottom surfaces separately. A significant cost reduction can be achieved, and the lottery machine can be a lottery machine that can be easily used in various inexpensive places and situations.

At least a part of the support base is formed of paper, and the support base is a weight portion formed of a material having a density higher than that of paper, and is attached so as to lower the center of gravity of the support base. It may have a weight portion.
When at least a part of the support base is made of paper, the support base is usually lighter (weight) than when the support base is made of timber, metal material, or the like. If the support base becomes lighter, the lottery machine may become unstable (if the support base becomes lighter, the center of gravity of the lottery machine will rise). In order to prevent or reduce this, the support base has a weight portion. You may do it. The weight portion is exemplified by materials having a density higher than that of paper (for example, metal materials such as steel, copper, and lead, inorganic materials such as glass, stone, and ceramics, and organic materials such as rubber materials and resin materials). In the state where the lottery machine is placed on a horizontal plane, the center of gravity of the support base after attaching the weight portion is lower than the center of gravity of the support base before attaching the weight portion. (That is, attaching the weight portion lowers the center of gravity of the support base). By attaching the weight portion in this way, the center of gravity of the support base can be lowered, and the lottery machine can be used stably.

The part of the attachment means that exists between the container and the support base and supports the weight of the container may be formed of a material having higher strength than the paper.
The portion of the attachment means that exists between the container and the support base and supports the weight of the container is subjected to a greater stress than the other part of the lottery machine, so even when the other part is formed of paper, The portion that supports the weight may be formed of a high-strength material. Here, the “material higher in strength than paper” means a material having a greater shear strength than paper, and is not particularly limited. For example, a metal material such as steel, copper, and aluminum, glass, You may select from inorganic materials, such as a stone material and ceramics, organic materials, such as a resin material.

The paper may be cardboard.
The paper (paper forming at least a part of the container and the support base) may be any material as long as the portion formed by the paper can maintain sufficient strength and the like. Although not intended, for example, cardboard, cardboard, paperboard and the like can be exemplified. In particular, it is preferable to use cardboard as the paper because of its high strength.

  Embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings, but the present invention is not limited thereto.

The direction seen from the direction of arrow A. The direction seen also in FIG. An example of the present lottery machine 11 will be described with reference to FIGS. In FIGS. 1 to 3, the (vertical) upward direction is indicated by an arrow F1, and the (vertical) downward direction is indicated by an arrow F2. Further, the lottery machine 11 shown in FIGS. 1 to 3 shows a state where it is placed on the upper surface (substantially horizontal plane) of a table (not shown).
The lottery device 11 roughly includes a container 21 that stores a plurality (at least two or more) of lottery items (not shown), a support base 41 that supports the container 21, and a resin that attaches the container 21 to the support base 41. A rod 51 and a bolt member 61 (attaching means is constituted by the resin rod 51 and the bolt member 61) and a rotary handle 81 attached to the bolt member 61 are provided.

The container 21 here has a hollow straight hexagonal prism shape, and contains a large number of spherical lotteries (not shown) in the internal space (specifically, 20 red lotteries, yellow lottery items). 20 pieces, 20 green lotteries and 20 white lotteries are housed in a total of 80). The container 21 has an opening 23 for taking out these lotteries accommodated in the internal space from the internal space to the external space (see FIG. 3). The container 21 is rotated once around the rotation axis J to discharge one lottery item from the opening 23. In addition, a mechanism for randomly selecting and discharging one lottery from a large number of lotteries accommodated in the internal space by being rotated once can be used in various types of conventional lottery machines. Therefore, description of the mechanism is omitted here (if necessary, the above-mentioned Patent Documents 1 to 6 may be referred to).
The container 21 has a cylindrical side surface portion 21a, a first bottom surface portion 21b (both main surfaces are substantially regular hexagons) attached so as to close one end of the side surface portion 21a, and the other end of the side surface portion 21a. A second bottom surface portion 21c (both main surfaces are substantially regular hexagons. Here, the first bottom surface portion 21b and the second bottom surface portion 21c are substantially parallel to each other), and a side surface portion. An opening 23 is formed at a predetermined position of 21a so as to communicate the internal space and the external space. The side surface portion 21a, the first bottom surface portion 21b, and the second bottom surface portion 21c are all formed of plate-like cardboard. Here, the side surface portion 21a and the first bottom surface portion 21b bend one cardboard. The second bottom surface portion 21c is formed by another single cardboard while being integrally formed by molding. Here, the rotation axis J is substantially perpendicular to the first bottom surface portion 21b and the second bottom surface portion 21c, and passes substantially through the center of gravity of the container 21 (when the lottery is not stored in the internal space). It has been established.

The support base 41 has a main body portion 43 formed of cardboard and a weight portion 42 disposed inside the main body portion 43.
The main body 43 includes a bottom 43a formed by a box having a slightly long rectangular parallelepiped shape, a first rising part 43b formed so that a lower end is attached to the bottom 43a and rises upward, and a lower end is attached to the bottom 43a. And a second rising portion 43c formed so as to rise upward. The first rising portion 43b and the second rising portion 43c are attached to the bottom portion 43a so as to be separated from each other in the rotation axis J direction.

An unillustrated steel sleeve (a right cylindrical shape with both ends opened) is attached to the upper portion of the second rising portion 43c so as to penetrate the second rising portion 43c along the rotation axis J direction. The bolt member 61 includes the sleeve, a steel bolt 63, and a nut (including a hexagonal nut and a butternut) screwed into the bolt 63. The bolt 63 is internally fitted so that the sleeve penetrates the sleeve (there is a play (gap) between the outer surface of the bolt 63 and the inner surface of the sleeve). It is supported by the second rising portion 43c so that it can freely rotate around the rotation axis J with respect to the rising portion 43c (of course, the longitudinal direction of the bolt 63 is directed to the rotation axis J direction). One end side of the bolt 63 passes through the first bottom surface portion 21b, and is attached to the first bottom surface portion 21b so as not to rotate around the rotation axis J (that is, the first bottom surface portion 21b, the bolt 63, and the like). Rotate together around the axis of rotation J). Thus, the 1st bottom face part 21b is supported by the volt | bolt 63 so that it can rotate freely around the rotating shaft J with respect to the 2nd standing part 43c.
A rotating handle 81 is attached to the other end side of the bolt 63 so as not to rotate around the rotation axis J with respect to the bolt 63 (that is, the rotating handle 81 and the bolt 63 are around the rotation axis J). Rotate together.) The rotary handle 81 has a handle body 83 having one end attached to the bolt 63 (attached to the bolt 63 so as not to rotate around the rotary axis J so as to protrude in a direction perpendicular to the rotary axis J). And a gripping portion 85 attached to the other end of the handle body 83.

  In the upper part of the first rising portion 43b, a plastic rod 51 having a circular cross section (cross section perpendicular to the rotation axis J) penetrates the first rising portion 43b along the direction of the rotation axis J (slightly plays). And has a through-hole). The resin rod 51 can freely rotate around the rotation axis J with respect to the first rising portion 43b (the resin rod 51 can freely rotate by passing through the first rising portion 43b with some play. It is supported by the first rising portion 43b. One end side of the resin rod 51 passes through the second bottom surface portion 21c, but the resin rod 51 is rotatable around the rotation axis J with respect to the second bottom surface portion 21c. One end enlarged portion 51 a is formed at one end of the resin rod 51 to prevent the resin rod 51 from unexpectedly falling off from the second bottom surface portion 21 c, and the other end enlarged portion 51 b is provided at the other end of the resin rod 51. By being formed, it is prevented from unexpectedly falling off from the first rising portion 43b. Thus, the 2nd bottom face part 21c is supported by the resin rod 51 so that it can rotate freely around the rotating shaft J with respect to the 1st standing part 43b.

  As described above, the first bottom surface portion 21b can freely rotate around the rotation axis J with respect to the second rising portion 43c, and the second bottom surface portion 21c can rotate with respect to the first rising portion 43b. By being able to rotate freely around J, the container 21 is supported by a support base 41 so that it can freely rotate around the rotation axis J. Then, by rotating the rotation handle 81 that is non-rotatable around the rotation axis J around the rotation axis J with respect to the bolt 63 (by gripping the gripping portion 85 by hand and rotating clockwise in FIG. In addition, on the outer surface of the first bottom surface portion 21b, the direction in which the rotary handle 81 should be rotated is displayed 24 (specifically, the words "Please turn slowly" and the rotation should be rotated). The container 21 can be rotated around the rotation axis J (clockwise in FIG. 1). As described above, each time the container 21 is rotated once around the rotation axis J (clockwise in FIG. 1), it is randomly selected from a lot of lotteries accommodated in the internal space of the container 21 as described above. One lottery item is discharged from the opening 23 (the type of prize to be given can be determined by the color of the one lottery item discharged).

Here, the weight portion 42 is configured by a plate-like member formed of a stone material (a material having a density higher than that of paper), and is disposed inside a bottom portion (lowermost portion) of the box-shaped main body portion 43. .
In the state where the lottery device 11 is placed on the horizontal plane (the state shown in FIGS. 1 to 3), the center of gravity of the support base 41 before the weight portion 42 is attached (for example, point K in FIGS. 1 to 3), The center of gravity (for example, point M in FIGS. 1 to 3) of the support base 41 after the weight portion 42 is attached is lowered (that is, the center of gravity of the support base 41 is lowered by attaching the weight portion 42). It is attached. In this way, the weight portion 42 is attached and the center of gravity of the support base 41 is lowered, so that the lottery machine 11 can be used stably (for example, the fall or the like can be prevented or reduced).

As described above, the lottery machine 11 has at least two lotteries (in this case, 20 red lotteries, 20 yellow lotteries, 20 green lotteries, and 20 white lotteries). A container 21 for containing a plurality of spherical objects) and rotating around a predetermined rotation axis J to discharge lotteries (one per rotation in this case), and a support base 41 for supporting the container 21 And a resin rod 51 and a bolt member 61 as attachment means for attaching the container 21 to the support base 41 so as to be rotatable around the rotation axis J, wherein the container 21 and the support At least a part of the base 41 (here, both the entire container 21 and a part of the support base 41 excluding the weight portion 42) is formed of paper (corrugated cardboard).
Here, all of the container 21 is formed of paper (corrugated cardboard) (note that all of the wall portion of the container 21 that divides the internal space for housing at least two lotteries and the external space is paper ( Cardboard))).
The container 21 has a cylindrical side surface portion 21a, a first bottom surface portion 21b attached so as to close one end of the side surface portion 21a, and a first side surface portion 21a attached so as to close the other end of the side surface portion 21a. 2 bottom surface portions 21c, and the side surface portion 21a and the first bottom surface portion 21b are integrally formed by molding (bending molding) one sheet of paper (corrugated cardboard).

In the present lottery 11, at least a part of the support base 41 (a part of the support base 41 excluding the weight portion 42) is formed of paper (corrugated cardboard). 21 is formed of paper (corrugated cardboard), and the support base 41 is a weight portion 42 formed of a material (here, stone) having a density higher than that of paper. There is a weight portion 42 attached so as to lower the center of gravity of the support base 41 (lower the center of gravity from the point K to the point M as described above).
A portion (resin rod 51, bolt 63) that exists between the container 21 and the support base 41 and supports the weight of the container among the resin rod 51 and the bolt member 61 serving as attachment means is higher than the paper (corrugated cardboard). The resin rod 51 is made of a plastic material, and the bolt 63 is made of steel.
Further, as described above, the paper here is cardboard.
