Description

  The present invention relates to a tip catching structure of a dart device, and more particularly, to a tipping catching structure of a soft dart having a tip formed of a resin.

  In general, a dart target (target surface) includes a triangular area obtained by equally dividing a circle into 20 radii and an outer area outside the circular area. The out area includes 1 to 20 areas that distinguish the triangular area. A number is waved, and a double bull and a single bull are formed in the center of the triangular area, a triple ring (inside) concentrically with the bull and a double ring (outside) circumscribing the out area, and A single area is formed between the bull and the triple ring and between the triple ring and the double ring.

  In addition, these scoring areas are composed of segments having a large number of holes that accept resin tips at the tip of the dart, and the segment presses the matrix sheet placed behind the segment with the hit of the dart, There is known a soft dart device capable of outputting a signal to a control unit to calculate a score and displaying the score information on a monitor screen.

  Here, various types of segments are known, but a widely used segment is formed with a target surface as a bottom surface and a side wall extending from the edge of the target surface to the entire periphery of the edge. The surface facing the target surface (rear end) is formed in a substantially concave shape having an opening. Moreover, the convex part is formed in the opening end of this side wall, and this convex part can press the predetermined position of a matrix sheet.

  Furthermore, in such a soft dart device, a spider that holds and separates the segment in the dart machine housing is arranged and fixed on the backboard together with the segment, and a matrix sheet is interposed between the segment and the backboard. Yes. Further, a rubber sheet is interposed between the matrix sheet and the segment to prevent the segment from coming into direct contact with the matrix sheet.

  As such a soft dart device, one described in Patent Document 1 below is known.

  However, in a soft dart device that is currently widely known, such as the soft dart device described in Patent Document 1, the tip of the dart is formed of a resin tip, so that it is configured with a metal arrow. It is safer than hard darts, but as mentioned above, the dart is thrown so that the tip of the dart is inserted into the hole of the segment and competes for the score, so the tip breaks and remains in the hole In order to remove this, it is necessary to perform maintenance.

  This maintenance method requires removing the backboard holding the spider and segments from the dart machine housing, removing the remaining segments of the tips from the backboard, and then removing the broken tips one by one from the segments. There was a lot of work.

  In addition to such maintenance work, with the soft dart device installed, insert a rod-shaped tool with a diameter smaller than the segment hole called the tip remover from the target surface side of the segment without disassembling the segment. In some cases, the broken tip is pushed into the segment, and the broken tip is removed from the hole in the segment.

  However, according to such a method for removing the broken tip, the broken tip is pushed into the segment, so that the broken tip is caught between the segment and the spider or between the segment and the matrix sheet. There was a problem that the dart hit could not be reliably determined by the operation.

  In addition, such a soft dart device throws the dart against the target surface and inserts the dart into the hole of the segment, so there may be a loud noise when the dart hits the target surface. Therefore, it has been desired to suppress these noises.

  The present invention has been made to solve the above-described problems, and prevents the malfunction caused by the tip of the soft dart device from being broken, and can also prevent the dart device from tipping when the dart hits. It is an object of the present invention to provide a structure and a tip capturing member used therefor.

In the tip capturing structure according to the present invention for solving the above-described problems, a target surface having at least one tip hole for holding a tip formed at the tip of a dart is formed forward, and a cross section perpendicular to the target surface is formed. A tip capturing structure for a dart apparatus having a segment that is formed in a substantially concave shape and has an opening that opens to the rear, and a capturing member having substantially the same shape as the opening of the opening is inserted from the opening. is, the segment side walls erected from the edge of the target surface is formed on the entire circumference of the target surface, said capture member is charged protrudes from the rear end of the side wall and wherein Rukoto To do.

  Further, in the tip capturing structure according to the present invention, a convex portion that performs a counting operation by pressing a matrix sheet is formed at the rear end, and the capturing member prevents malfunction of the convex counting operation. It is preferable that a relief portion is formed.

  Still further, in the tip capturing structure according to the present invention, it is preferable that the escape portion is formed by chamfering the entire periphery of the rear end of the capturing member.

  According to the present invention, there is provided a tip catching structure for a dart device and a tip catching member for a dart device that can prevent malfunction due to the tip that is broken even when the tip that has been folded by a tip remover is pushed into a segment. Can be provided.

  Moreover, according to this invention, since the capture member protrudes rather than the rear end of the side wall, it can suppress the noise at the time of dart hit.

  Furthermore, according to the present invention, the catching member is formed with a relief portion that prevents the counting operation of the convex portion from malfunctioning, so that the catching member can suppress noise during the dart hit without interfering with the counting operation. Can do.

  Further, according to the present invention, it is possible to attach the capturing member without modification to a segment that opens to the rear which is widely spread at present.

FIG. 4 is a perspective view for explaining a structure behind a segment of the dart device, FIG. 4 is a diagram for explaining a capturing member according to the present embodiment, and FIG. 5 is a tip capturing structure according to the present embodiment. It is sectional drawing for demonstrating. 2 and 5, the left side of the paper is described as the rear and the right side as the front.

  As shown in FIG. 1, the dart device 10 according to the present embodiment includes a dart machine housing 23 made of wood or FRP that is detachably attached to the legs 13, and a segment 30 held in the dart machine housing 23. A backboard 24 is attached to the spider 22 to be divided together with the segment 30.

  The segments 30 are arranged so as to form a triangular area in which a circle is radially divided by 20 by the spider 22. Further, the outer side of the triangular area forms a circumferential out area.

  Next, the structure of the dart apparatus 10 according to the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. As shown in FIG. 2, the segment 30 is fixed to the backboard 24 by the spider 22, and the backboard 24 is attached to the dart machine housing 23. In addition, a matrix sheet 51 is interposed between the spider 22 and the backboard 24 to determine the counting operation of the dart hit by being pressed by the convex portion 31 formed on the segment 30. A rubber sheet 50 is interposed between the sheet 51 and the segment 30, and the matrix sheet 51 can be prevented from being damaged or damaged by the convex portion 31 of the segment 30 directly pressing the matrix sheet 51. ing. Further, as will be described later, a capturing member 40 is inserted into the concave portion of the segment 30.

  In the dart device 10 according to the present embodiment formed in this way, when the dart 11 thrown from the front hits the segment 30, the resin tip 12 formed at the tip of the dart 11 is inserted into the tip hole 32. When the dart 11 is hit and the projection 31 of the segment 30 presses the matrix sheet 51, the counting operation is performed and the score of the game can be calculated.

  Next, the structure of the segment 30 of the dart apparatus 10 according to the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 3 shows the state of the rear end in order to explain the rear shape of the segment 30 of the dart apparatus 10 according to the present embodiment, and the state of use of the segment 30 is limited by this description. There is no. The segment 30 having an open rear end indicates the shape of a segment that is currently widely used in Japan.

  The segment 30 has a target surface 34 in which a plurality of tip holes 32 are perforated, and a side wall 33 standing from the edge of the target surface 34 is formed over the entire circumference of the edge, thereby being perpendicular to the target surface 34. The cross-sectional shape is formed in a substantially concave shape, and the end portion 35 of the side wall 33 forms an opening that opens rearward in FIG. A plurality of convex portions 31 are formed on the end portion 35 of the side wall 33. A total of eight convex portions 31 are formed on each side, two on each side. Further, the number of the convex portions 31 can be appropriately changed in consideration of the accuracy of the counting operation and the like. Further, FIG. 3 illustrates an example of the shape of the segment 30 constituting the triangular area, but the triangular area is configured by segments of various shapes such as a circle and a triangle. It is not limited to a shape like 3, and the other segment 30 which comprises a triangular area has the same structure.

  Next, the structure of the capturing member 40 of the dart apparatus 10 according to the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. As shown in FIG. 4, the capturing member 40 has substantially the same shape as the opening shape of the segment 30 shown in FIG. 3, and is made of an elastic material. The material of the capturing member 40 is preferably urethane or sponge, but can also be formed of paper such as polystyrene foam or cardboard, wood, or the like.

  Further, an escape portion 41 is formed on one end surface of the capture member 40 over the entire circumference, and the escape portion 41 is formed by chamfering a corner portion of the capture member 40.

  Next, with reference to FIG. 5, the tip capture structure of the dart apparatus 10 according to the present embodiment will be described.

  As shown in FIG. 5, the capturing member 40 is inserted into the segment 30 through the opening at the rear of the segment 30. The capturing member 40 is formed slightly larger than the opening shape of the segment 30 so as to be in close contact with the recess of the segment 30, and is fixed in close contact with the side wall 33 by the elastic force of the capturing member 40.

  In this way, since the capturing member 40 is inserted in close contact with the side wall 33, the tip 12 that is broken by the hit of the dart 11 remains in the tip hole 32, and the tip 12 is segmented from the target surface 34 side by the tip remover. Even if the tip is removed by being pushed into the interior of the head 30, the tip can be captured in the segment 30, so that the tip 12 enters between the segment 30 and the spider 22 or the matrix sheet 51, causing an erroneous counting operation. It is possible to prevent the operation from occurring.

  Further, the capturing member 40 is inserted so as to form an appropriate space between the capturing member 40 and the target surface 34. Thus, if a space is formed between the capturing member 40 and the target surface 34, a large number of tips 12 can be accommodated in the space.

  In addition, since the capturing member 40 is attached so as to protrude from the rear end 35 of the segment 30, it is possible to suppress noise when the convex portion 31 presses the matrix sheet 51 with the hit of the dart 11. Furthermore, since the escape portion 41 is formed in the capturing member 40, the operation of the convex portion 31 pressing the matrix sheet 51 is not hindered.

  Thus, since the capture member 40 according to the present embodiment can be attached to the segment 30 that has been widely spread from the past and has an opening at the rear without modification, the tip capture structure can be easily and inexpensively attached to the conventional dart device. Can be configured.

  As mentioned above, although preferred embodiment of this invention was described, the technical scope of this invention is not limited to description of the said embodiment. Various modifications or improvements can be added to the embodiment.

  For example, in the above-described embodiment, the case where the target surface 34 and the capturing member 40 are loaded so as to form an appropriate space has been described, but the capturing member 40 is not formed without forming such a space. May be inserted in contact with the rear surface of the target surface 34.
