Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a playground equipment that can move a fingertip and can further stimulate a brain and can be freely set at a time convenient for the user. SOLUTION: With a flat plate playground equipment with a pin, an arbitrary pin can be removed, and one pin can be jumped over in either the vertical or horizontal direction, the jumped pin is pulled out, and finally one pin is left. If it remains, it becomes clear, and if it becomes impossible to jump over, it will end here. You can do it alone, and if you have an opponent, you can compete for the remaining number of pins.

Description

The present invention relates to a compact playground equipment set that can be played alone and carried freely.

It is said that the movement of human hands and fingertips affects the cerebral cortex, which is responsible for higher brain functions such as language and thought. As people age, they tend to shy away from the detailed movements of their fingertips and tend to reduce cerebral irritation. By moving the fingertips happily, the brain is stimulated and activated, preventing adults and elderly people from forgetting things and preventing dementia. Infants and children can develop intellectual education.

In addition, due to retirement age, elderly people have fewer opportunities to interact with the real world, and there are fewer cases where complicated thinking is required, and forgetfulness or dementia may occur. There are many playground equipment on the market that move your fingers to prevent forgetfulness and dementia, and play games while thinking.

Games played on the table include shogi, go, and othello games. They know the rules, need the other party, and may choose the other party in advance depending on their proficiency level, so there is a problem that they cannot be freed at their convenience. .

Inventors who have been involved in nursing care for the elderly have thought that there is a game where they can easily think while moving their fingertips by themselves, even if there is a person who needs an opponent and does not like a game that decides victory or defeat. .

Under such circumstances, the present inventor found out on the Internet (Non-Patent Documents 1 and 2) that there is a game of single-play that will entertain a puzzle-loving person called Peg Solitaire. This peg solitaire is considered to have been conceived more than about 300 years ago. As shown in FIG. 1 or 2, 44 or 32 pieces are arranged except for the center of 45 or 33 cages, From this initial layout, the game can move 2 squares up and down, left and right, remove the jumped pieces, and finally make one piece as shown in Fig. 3. When there are no more jumping pieces, the game ends even if a plurality of pieces remain. The position of the remaining piece may not be the center of the piece as shown in FIG. This game is the subject of research in the field of mathematics as seen in non-patent literature. Peg Solitaire's peg means pin and Solitaire means solo play.

Therefore, the present inventor noticed that this peg solitaire game is a game that can be easily done by one person, and as a compact playground equipment set that can be carried freely, anyone can use this peg solitaire game for their convenience. It can be done easily during the time.

  The problem to be solved is to provide a play equipment for a peg solitaire game that can move a fingertip, further stimulate the brain, and can be freely set at a time convenient for the user.

The present invention is a game that can be played by one person and is a compact playground equipment set that can be freely carried.

That is, in the first device, 8 vertical lines and 8 horizontal lines are drawn at predetermined equal intervals on the inside of a square flat plate, and each of 4 squares out of 49 squares formed. It is a plane board play equipment with a pin comprised by the plane board which formed the hole which can insert a pin in each center part of 33 * except 4 * of a corner, and 33 pins inserted in the hole.

As shown in FIG. 4 on a square flat plate 1, eight parallel lines are written at equal intervals in the vertical and horizontal directions to form 49 ridges 2, except for 4 ridges at the four corners, and pins at the center of each ridge And 33 holes are formed. That is, seven flat holes are formed in three vertical rows and seven in three horizontal rows, respectively, and nine of the holes are overlapped. A pin is inserted into this hole. A combination of a flat plate with holes and a pin is a flat plate play equipment with pins. Although it is a square flat plate, it is sufficient if it is substantially square, and the corners of the four corners of the square may be rounded.
FIG. 5 shows a flat plate in which holes are formed, and FIG. 6 shows a flat plate in which pins are inserted into holes in the flat plate.

Next, a second device is a flat plate playground equipment set with pins constituted by the flat plate playground equipment with pins according to claim 1, a plurality of pins for replenishment, and a storage box for storing these pins.

In order to play a game freely anytime, it is necessary to put a pin and a flat plate in a storage box and easily carry it. In particular, there are 33 pins that are easy to lose, and it is desirable to prepare replenishment pins. Therefore, a box for storing the pin, the flat plate and the replenishment pin is prepared, and the pin, the flat plate and the replenishment pin are stored in the storage box and can be easily carried. The storage box is stored with the pins inserted into the holes of the flat plate, and the replenishment pins are put together in a bag and stored in the storage box. This is because the pins are fixed in the storage box and no noise is generated when carrying them.
FIG. 7 shows (1) perspective view, (2) plan view, and (3) perspective view of the storage box 7 with the lid 72 removed.

The first device provides a playground equipment that can move a fingertip, can further stimulate the brain, and can be freely released at a time convenient for the user to activate the brain.

The second idea is to allow the playground equipment of the first idea to be easily carried and performed at a favorite place.

A peg solitaire game board in which 44 pieces are arranged in 45 pieces except for the center piece. A peg solitaire game board in which 32 pieces are arranged in 33 pieces except for the central piece. The final form of the Peg Solitaire game Position of flat plate and hole Flat plate with holes Flat plate with pins inserted into holes Perspective view of storage box Plane board with prototype pins inserted Prototype flat board playground equipment set with pins

Examples of the present invention are shown below.

FIG. 8 shows a prototype in which a pin 5 is inserted into a flat plate 1 in which holes are formed. In this prototype, both the flat plate 1 and the pin 5 are made of wood, and the hole is formed by being dug to the middle of the thickness of the flat plate. However, the hole may pass through the flat plate and be tapered, as long as the pin can be inserted. The surface of the pin is textured to prevent slipping, and its upper surface is colored.

FIG. 9 shows the storage box 7, the storage box lid 72, the flat plate 1 with pins 5 stored in the storage box, and the replenishment pins. The flat plate 1 with the pin 5 and the replenishment pin 51 can be stored in the storage box 7 and can be carried freely, and the loss of the pin can be prevented. This storage box is also wooden. The pin is inserted into the flat plate and stored in the storage box. Three replenishing pins are prepared, but the number is not limited to this.
The flat plate 1, the pins 5, the storage box 7 and the like are not limited to wood, and may be made of plastic, and any material may be used.

It is not necessary to remove the central pin as shown in FIG. 2 in the game method with the flat board play equipment with this pin, and it is possible to remove one arbitrary pin and jump over one pin in either the vertical or horizontal direction. Yes, you can remove the pin that has been jumped over. If one pin is left in the end, it will be clear, and if you can't jump over, you will end here. You can do it alone, and if you have an opponent, the player with the few remaining pins wins.

The feature of this game is that there are an unlimited number of solutions (procedures) and it can be easily done alone. It can be used not only as a nursing facility, but also as a playground equipment for surpassing waiting time at beauty salons and hospitals, and its production cost is low, so it is expected to spread widely.
