Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a gaming device for hitting and playing a floating sphere by ejecting a fluid such as air. SOLUTION: A base 1 is a hollow long box body and is fixed on a floor surface, and a substrate 2 is fixed on the base 1. The center of the substrate is a flat portion having the same width as the base width, and this flat portion is fixed to the base. Both sides of the flat portion are bent downward at an obtuse angle to form an inclined portion 3, then bent upward again, and further bent upward to form a dissipation prevention portion 4. The lowermost portion of the substrate due to this bending is grooved, and through holes as ventilation holes are provided in a predetermined arrangement. A ventilation pipe 6 having a built-in valve is located directly below the ventilation hole, and a valve adjustment handle 7 is located on the side of the ventilation pipe. This ventilation pipe is connected to a separate blower. [Selection diagram] Fig. 3

Description

  The present invention relates to an amusement device for playing by hitting a sphere that has been lifted by a jet of fluid such as air.

  Conventionally, there are various games, sports, games, etc. using a ball, but as shown in this proposal, there is no one that plays by hitting a ball floated by fluid ejection.

Play and sports using balls have been popular for a long time. Current activities include baseball, softball, soccer, volleyball, basketball, tennis, table tennis, golf, park golf, gateball, handball, water polo, shot throw, bowling, dodgeball, ball rolling, etc. (Throw an iron ball toward the target). In addition, there are rugby and badminton that use similar things that are not spheres. The balls used in these sports are mainly used by catching, kicking or hitting a ball thrown or placed on the ground.
On the other hand, there are toys using hollow spheres for a long time.
This is because one end of a small short tube is bent upward, a spiral wire is attached here, and a hollow small sphere smaller than a ping-pong ball is placed in this wire. A small ball rises by eruption. As the sphere moves away from the short pipe end, the wind pressure that hits the sphere weakens and the sphere descends, but at the position balanced with the wind pressure, the small sphere rises and falls slightly due to wind pressure fluctuation at a position above the short pipe end. The position is maintained while wobbling.
When the sphere deviates from the center of the air flow, there are places where the air flow is greatly bent and where the flow is hardly bent, and where the air flow is hardly bent, the force that the air flow pushes the sphere is weak and it bends greatly. Where it is, it becomes stronger, and this action pushes the sphere back to the center.
Therefore, even if the posture is changed while the short tube is held in the mouth and breathing, the small ball is lifted up and follows the short tube end position, so that the visual fun can be enjoyed.
The present invention has been devised in order to obtain a novel game device based on the above principle, and provides a novel game that has never been achieved before.

As a means for solving the problems, the present plan has the following configuration.
That is, a long plate body having a flat portion is provided at the center, a non-longitudinal direction of the plate body is bent downward, and an inclined portion is further bent upward. A vent hole is formed in the air vent, and a vent pipe for air ejection is provided immediately below the vent hole.
The present plan is a game apparatus using a floating ball having the above-described configuration.

This plan has the following effects.
1. This is a game where a sphere is floated by the air blown, and this sphere is struck down with a stick or the like, and can be enjoyed as a game with a novel and unprecedented feel.
2. Since the sphere is floated by the air blown out from the vent at the lower end of the inclined part, the dropped sphere naturally returns to the position of the vent, so it can automatically rise again and be enjoyed continuously.
3. Since the overall course shape can be set arbitrarily, it is possible to incorporate ingenuity according to the installation location.

Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described.
In the figure, reference numeral 1 denotes a base, which is a hollow long box, which is fixed on the floor surface of the proposed apparatus.
Reference numeral 2 denotes a substrate fixed on the base. The center of the substrate is a flat portion having the same width as the base width, and this flat portion is fixed to the base. Both sides of the flat portion are bent downward at an obtuse angle to form the inclined portion 3, bent upward again, and further bent upward to become the dissipation preventing portion 4.
The lowermost portion of the substrate resulting from this bending has a groove shape, and through holes as vent holes 5 are provided in a predetermined arrangement. A vent pipe 6 containing a valve is located immediately below the vent hole, and a valve adjusting handle 7 is located on the side of the vent pipe. The shape of the substrate in the longitudinal direction is arbitrary, but, for example, as shown in FIG.
This vent pipe is connected to a separate blower.
The above is one embodiment of the present plan.
When using this plan, a hollow sphere is first placed on the vent hole, and air is blown out from the end of the vent pipe by the blower operation. This blown air passes through the vent and hits the sphere above it, and the sphere rises upward. The player goes up to the flat part of the board, holds a stick, etc., and while moving forward on this flat part, he strikes the floating ball with a stick, etc., continuously doing this, starting from the course start position to the course end position It comes to an end.
In this plan, there is an inclined part, and the vent hole is at the lowest position of the inclined part. Therefore, the struck sphere automatically returns to the vent hole position and rises again, so that the trouble of picking up the ball can be saved. .
In addition, it is preferable that the groove part formed of an inclination part has a slight inclination also in the longitudinal direction centering on a ventilation hole.

  A valve and a valve adjustment handle are located immediately below the vent hole, and the amount of air blown out from each vent pipe can be set by adjusting this handle, so the height of each floating sphere can be changed appropriately. can do. In addition, if an electromagnetic flow control valve is provided between the blower and the vent pipe and this valve is controlled by a circuit that can be controlled by a program, the flow rate will change continuously, and the floating ball will constantly Since the vertical position fluctuates, it is possible to change the difficulty level when hitting the ball. In this example, since the dissipation prevention part is provided, as shown in FIG. 3, the hit ball first hits this dissipation prevention part and descends along the slope to reach the vent hole position. Can enjoy.

Although the present plan has been described above, the present plan provides an unprecedented play in which a sphere that has been levitated by air blowing is dropped. As a play using a stick-shaped article, Chambara has been performed among children for a long time. At that time, movie drama was prosperous and influenced by this, there was this chamber play. This was just a play, but it seems that there was an effect of nurturing the agility of the body without knowing it because it moves with a stick as a sword. Although it is a play that has almost been abolished in modern times, it also works in this way, so it can be expected to improve physical ability while having fun, and it can be enjoyed regardless of gender.
In order to create an atmosphere, it is also a good idea to have a fake sword and play with costumes such as costumes for rental period. This play can be enjoyed not only by children but also by adults, but it can also be used for rehabilitation by the elderly and others.
As described above, it is possible to obtain a useful device that contributes to improvement of physical ability while enjoying fresh play.
