本発明は、音を発することができる遊戯用ボールに関する。 The present invention relates to a game ball capable of emitting sound.
前掲の遊戯用ボールに関連し、後記特許文献１には、ボール内に発音ユニットが取り付けられた発音ボールが開示されている。この発音ボールは、発音ユニットの構成からして、ボールに加わる衝撃に基づいて音を発するものと思われる。 In connection with the above-mentioned game ball, Patent Document 1 described below discloses a sounding ball in which a sounding unit is mounted in the ball. Due to the configuration of the sounding unit, the sounding ball is considered to emit sound based on the impact applied to the ball.
しかしながら、前記発音ボールは、空気注入用バルブがボールに設けられた構造であるため、ボール内に空気を注入するときには別途専用の空気注入器を用意する必要がある。すなわち、遊戯中にボール内の空気が抜けてしまった場合、専用の空気注入器がないとボール内に空気を注入することができない。 However, the sounding ball has a structure in which an air injection valve is provided on the ball. Therefore, when injecting air into the ball, it is necessary to prepare a special air injector separately. That is, if air in the ball escapes during play, air cannot be injected into the ball without a dedicated air injector.
本発明の課題は、音を発することができるとともに、専用の空気注入器を別途用意しなくても所期の空気注入を行うことができる遊戯用ボールを提供することにある。 SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION An object of the present invention is to provide a game ball that can emit sound and can perform desired air injection without separately preparing a dedicated air injector.

前記空気注入部は、前記装着部に設けられ、前記音出力部を前記装着部に装着することにより前記装着部を除く前記ボール本体部内に空気注入が為されるように構成され、前記音出力ユニットは、前記音出力部を前記装着部に装着することにより前記ボール本体部の中央に位置する。
A game ball according to the present invention is a game ball capable of emitting sound, and includes a ball body having a mounting portion therein, and a sound output detachably mountable on the mounting portion of the ball body. And an air injecting portion for injecting air into the ball body except for the mounting portion, wherein the sound output portion has a cylindrical shape that can be displaced in close contact with an inner surface of the mounting portion. And a sound output unit covered by the close portion,
The air injection unit is provided in the mounting portion, the air injection is configured to be made to the sound output unit in said the ball body portion excluding the mounting portion by mounting the mounting portion, the sound output The unit is located at the center of the ball body by attaching the sound output unit to the attachment unit .
本発明に係る遊戯用ボールによれば、音を発することができるとともに、専用の空気注入器がなくても所期の空気注入を行うことができる。 ADVANTAGE OF THE INVENTION According to the play ball which concerns on this invention, while being able to emit a sound, desired air injection can be performed without a special air injector.
先ず、図１〜図３を用いて、本発明を適用した遊戯用ボールの構造について説明する。この遊戯用ボールは、図３から分かるように、装着部２０を内部に有するボール本体部１０と、ボール本体部１０の装着部２０に着脱可能に装着可能な音出力部３０とを備えている。 First, the structure of a game ball to which the present invention is applied will be described with reference to FIGS. As can be seen from FIG. 3, the game ball includes a ball body 10 having a mounting portion 20 therein, and a sound output portion 30 detachably mounted on the mounting portion 20 of the ball body 10. .
ボール本体部１０は、球体の表面一部を平らに切り取ったような外観を有しており、内部は中空である。この表面一部に存する平坦面１０ａの中央内側には、装着部２０を結合するための略円筒状の連結部１１が、ボール本体部１０と一体に設けられている。ちなみに、連結部１１を含むボール本体部１０は、柔軟性を有する軟質材、たとえばポリ塩化ビニルやポリウレタン等の合成樹脂から形成されている。図面には連結部１１を含むボール本体部１０として単層構成のものを示してあるが、補強層等を有する多層構成を採用してもよく、この場合には少なくとも表面層を前記同様の軟質材とするとよい。 The ball body 10 has an appearance in which a part of the surface of a sphere is cut out flat, and the inside is hollow. A substantially cylindrical connecting portion 11 for connecting the mounting portion 20 is provided integrally with the ball body 10 inside the center of the flat surface 10a existing on a part of this surface. Incidentally, the ball body 10 including the connecting portion 11 is formed of a soft material having flexibility, for example, a synthetic resin such as polyvinyl chloride or polyurethane. Although the drawing shows a single-layer configuration of the ball body 10 including the connecting portion 11, a multilayer configuration having a reinforcing layer or the like may be adopted. In this case, at least the surface layer is made of the same soft material as described above. It is good to use wood.
装着部２０は、底部を有する略円筒状を成しており、その開口部分をボール本体部１０の連結部１１の内側端部に、凹凸嵌合やねじ結合等の手法によって結合されている。この結合手法に特段の制限はないが、遊戯用ボールに加わる衝撃によって装着部２０が連結部１１から外れないような結合強度が必要である。ちなみに、装着部２０は、柔軟性を殆ど有しない硬質材、たとえばポリプロピレンやポリエチレン等の合成樹脂から形成されている。 The mounting portion 20 has a substantially cylindrical shape having a bottom portion, and an opening portion thereof is connected to an inner end portion of the connecting portion 11 of the ball body portion 10 by a method such as uneven fitting or screw connection. Although there is no particular limitation on the joining method, a joining strength is required so that the mounting portion 20 does not come off the connecting portion 11 due to an impact applied to the play ball. Incidentally, the mounting portion 20 is formed of a hard material having little flexibility, for example, a synthetic resin such as polypropylene or polyethylene.
すなわち、図３の上側に示したように、装着部２０を内部に有するボール本体部１０は、装着部２０内に形成された第１の空間Ｓ１を有するとともに、装着部２０を除くボール本体部１０内に形成された第２の空間Ｓ２を有している。 That is, as shown in the upper part of FIG. 3, the ball body 10 having the mounting portion 20 therein has the first space S1 formed in the mounting portion 20 and the ball body portion excluding the mounting portion 20. 10 has a second space S2 formed therein.
また、装着部２０の底部には、たとえば逆止弁や一方向弁等の弁から成る空気注入部２１が設けられている。この空気注入部２１は、第１の空間Ｓ１内の圧力が第２の空間Ｓ２内の圧力よりも高くなったときに、第１の空間Ｓ１から第２の空間Ｓ２への空気の流動のみを許容する。 At the bottom of the mounting section 20, there is provided an air injection section 21 composed of a valve such as a check valve or a one-way valve. When the pressure in the first space S1 becomes higher than the pressure in the second space S2, the air injecting section 21 restricts only the flow of air from the first space S1 to the second space S2. Allow.
さらに、装着部２０の開口部と装着部２０の底部との間であって、装着部２０の連結部１１に近い位置には、たとえば逆止弁や一方向弁等の弁から成る空気排出部２２が設けられている。この空気排出部２２は、第２の空間Ｓ２内の圧力が許容値よりも高くなったときに、第２の空間Ｓ２から第１の空間Ｓ１への空気の流動のみを許容する。 Further, between the opening of the mounting portion 20 and the bottom of the mounting portion 20 and close to the connecting portion 11 of the mounting portion 20, an air discharging portion such as a check valve or a one-way valve is provided. 22 are provided. The air discharge unit 22 allows only the flow of air from the second space S2 to the first space S1 when the pressure in the second space S2 becomes higher than the allowable value.
音出力部３０は、ボール補助部３１と、中継部３２と、密接部３３と、弾性部材３４と、音出力ユニット３５とを有している。 The sound output section 30 includes a ball auxiliary section 31, a relay section 32, a close contact section 33, an elastic member 34, and a sound output unit 35.
ボール補助部３１は、先に述べた球体の表面一部を平らに切り取った部分に対応した外観を有しており、その中央内側には、連結部１１の開口部１１ａに嵌め込み可能な略円柱状の嵌め込み部３１ａが一体に設けられている。ちなみに、嵌め込み部３１ａを含むボール補助部３１は、好ましくはボール本体部１０と同じ軟質材から形成されている。 The ball assisting portion 31 has an appearance corresponding to a portion obtained by flattening a part of the surface of the sphere described above, and a substantially circular shape which can be fitted into the opening 11a of the connecting portion 11 is provided inside the center thereof. A columnar fitting portion 31a is provided integrally. Incidentally, the ball assisting portion 31 including the fitting portion 31a is preferably formed of the same soft material as the ball body 10.
中継部３２は、密接部３３よりも外周が小さな略円筒状を成しており、その一方側の開口部分をボール補助部３１の嵌め込み部３１ａに、凹凸嵌合やねじ結合等の手法によって結合されている。この結合手法に特段の制限はないが、遊戯用ボールに加わる衝撃によって中継部３２がボール補助部３１から外れないような結合強度が必要である。ちなみに、中継部３２は、柔軟性を殆ど有しない硬質材、たとえばポリプロピレンやポリエチレン等の合成樹脂から形成されている。 The relay portion 32 has a substantially cylindrical shape whose outer periphery is smaller than that of the close contact portion 33, and an opening on one side thereof is connected to the fitting portion 31a of the ball assisting portion 31 by a method such as uneven fitting or screw connection. Have been. Although there is no particular limitation on the joining method, it is necessary that the joining strength is such that the relay portion 32 does not come off the ball assisting portion 31 due to an impact applied to the play ball. Incidentally, the relay portion 32 is formed of a hard material having little flexibility, for example, a synthetic resin such as polypropylene or polyethylene.
密接部３３は、底部を有する略円筒状を成しており、その開口部分を中継部３２の他方側の開口部分に、凹凸嵌合やねじ結合等の手法によって結合されている。この結合手法に特段の制限はないが、遊戯用ボールに加わる衝撃によって密接部３３が中継部３２から外れないような結合強度が必要である。また、密接部３３の外周は、その外面が装着部２０の内面との間に隙間が殆どない密接状態で変位できるような形状に設定されている。すなわち、密接部３３の外周面の一部が装着部２０の内周面の一部に適合することにより、装着部２０の内周面への密接状態を可能としている。ちなみに、密接部３３は、柔軟性を殆ど有しない硬質材、たとえばポリプロピレンやポリエチレン等の合成樹脂から形成されている。 The close contact portion 33 has a substantially cylindrical shape having a bottom portion, and an opening portion thereof is connected to an opening portion on the other side of the relay portion 32 by a method such as uneven fitting or screw connection. Although there is no particular limitation on this joining method, a joining strength is required so that the close portion 33 does not come off the relay portion 32 due to an impact applied to the play ball. Further, the outer periphery of the close contact portion 33 is set to a shape such that its outer surface can be displaced in a close contact state with almost no gap between the outer surface and the inner surface of the mounting portion 20. That is, a part of the outer peripheral surface of the close contact part 33 is adapted to a part of the inner peripheral surface of the mounting part 20, thereby enabling a close contact state with the inner peripheral surface of the mounting part 20. Incidentally, the close contact portion 33 is formed of a hard material having little flexibility, for example, a synthetic resin such as polypropylene or polyethylene.
弾性部材３４は、リング状を成しており、密接部３３の底部近傍に設けられている。この弾性部材３４は、装着部２０の内周面との気密性を高めるためのものであり、たとえばＶリングやＯリング等の合成ゴム製シールが用いられている。後述の空気注入を的確に行うには、弾性部材３４として、音出力部３０を装着部２０に装着するときの気密性（抵抗）が高くなり、かつ、音出力部３０を装着部２０から抜き出すときの気密性（抵抗）が低くなるＶリングを用いることが好ましい。 The elastic member 34 has a ring shape and is provided near the bottom of the close contact portion 33. The elastic member 34 is for improving the airtightness with respect to the inner peripheral surface of the mounting portion 20, and for example, a synthetic rubber seal such as a V-ring or an O-ring is used. In order to accurately perform the air injection described later, the airtightness (resistance) when the sound output unit 30 is mounted on the mounting unit 20 as the elastic member 34 is increased, and the sound output unit 30 is extracted from the mounting unit 20. It is preferable to use a V-ring that reduces the airtightness (resistance) at that time.
音出力ユニット３５は、中継部３２に一体形成された平板部分３２ａに着脱可能に設置されており、密接部３３が中継部３２に結合されている状態では密接部３３によって覆い隠され、密接部３３を中継部３２から外した状態で露出するようになっている。音出力ユニット３５の構成については後に説明する。 The sound output unit 35 is detachably mounted on a flat plate portion 32 a formed integrally with the relay portion 32. When the close contact portion 33 is coupled to the relay portion 32, the sound output unit 35 is covered and covered by the close contact portion 33. 33 is exposed in a state where it is detached from the relay section 32. The configuration of the sound output unit 35 will be described later.
次に、図４を用いて、音出力ユニット３５の構成について説明する。この音出力ユニット３５は、制御部３５ａと、音記憶部３５ｂと、スピーカ３５ｃと、衝撃センサ３５ｄと、電源部３５ｅと、電源スイッチ３５ｆとを有している。 Next, the configuration of the sound output unit 35 will be described with reference to FIG. The sound output unit 35 has a control unit 35a, a sound storage unit 35b, a speaker 35c, an impact sensor 35d, a power supply unit 35e, and a power switch 35f.
音記憶部３５ｂは好ましくはフラッシュメモリから成り、複数の音（複数の音声と複数の音楽の少なくとも一方）を記憶している。衝撃センサ３５ｄは好ましくは加速度センサから成り、制御部３５ａは衝撃センサ３５ｄで検知された衝撃が設定値以上であるときに、音記憶部３５ｂから選択的に音を取り出してこの音をスピーカ３５ｃから発生させる。電源部３５ｅは好ましくは交換可能な電池から成り、電源部３５ｅから制御部３５ａへの電力供給は電源スイッチ３５ｆによってオンオフできる。 The sound storage unit 35b is preferably composed of a flash memory, and stores a plurality of sounds (at least one of a plurality of sounds and a plurality of music). The impact sensor 35d is preferably composed of an acceleration sensor. When the impact detected by the impact sensor 35d is equal to or greater than a set value, the control unit 35a selectively takes out sound from the sound storage unit 35b and outputs this sound from the speaker 35c. generate. The power supply unit 35e is preferably made of a replaceable battery, and power supply from the power supply unit 35e to the control unit 35a can be turned on and off by a power switch 35f.
また、音出力ユニット３５は、通常モードと省電力モードでの動作を可能としている。通常モードは、電源スイッチ３５ｆがオンになっている状態で、遊戯用ボールに加わる衝撃に基づいて音を選択的に発するモードである。省電力モードは、電源スイッチ３５ｆがオンになっている状態で、遊戯用ボールに設定時間内、たとえば５分以内に音発生に足りる衝撃が加わらなかったときに、電源部３５ｅから制御部３５ａ等への電力供給を制限するモードである。省電力モードから通常モードへの移行は、遊戯用ボールに音発生に足りる衝撃が加わったときに自動的に行われる。 The sound output unit 35 can operate in the normal mode and the power saving mode. The normal mode is a mode in which sound is selectively emitted based on an impact applied to a play ball when the power switch 35f is turned on. In the power saving mode, when the power switch 35f is turned on and the impact for generating sound is not applied to the play ball within a set time, for example, within 5 minutes, the power supply unit 35e to the control unit 35a and the like. This is a mode in which power supply to the device is limited. The transition from the power saving mode to the normal mode is automatically performed when an impact sufficient to generate a sound is applied to the play ball.
音記憶部３５ｂに記憶される複数の音（複数の音声と複数の音楽の少なくとも一方）は、遊戯対象年齢等に応じて任意に選定することができる。また、通常モードにおける音出力方法も、遊戯対象年齢等に応じて任意に設定することができる。参考までに、音記憶部３５ｂに記憶されている音がＡ、ＢおよびＣの３種類である場合の音出力方法例を幾つか紹介する。なお、ここで紹介する音出力方法例はあくまでも例であって、音出力ユニット３５の機能を制限するものではない。 A plurality of sounds (at least one of a plurality of voices and a plurality of music) stored in the sound storage unit 35b can be arbitrarily selected according to a play target age or the like. Also, the sound output method in the normal mode can be arbitrarily set according to the age to be played. For reference, some examples of sound output methods in the case where the sounds stored in the sound storage unit 35b are A, B, and C are described. The example of the sound output method introduced here is merely an example, and does not limit the function of the sound output unit 35.
第１の音出力方法例は、遊戯用ボールに音発生に足りる衝撃が加わる度にＡ、Ｂ、Ｃ、Ａ、Ｂ、Ｃ、Ａ、Ｂ、Ｃ…の順で音を発する方法である。第２の音出力方法例は、遊戯用ボールに音発生に足りる衝撃が加わる度にＡ、Ａ、Ｂ、Ｂ、Ｃ、Ｃ、Ａ、Ａ…の順で音を発する方法である。第３の音出力方法例は、遊戯用ボールに音発生に足りる衝撃が加わる度に衝撃の大きさに応じてＡ、Ｂ、Ｃのいずれかの音、たとえば衝撃が大のときはＡの音を、中のときはＢの音を、小のときはＣの音を発する方法である。いずれの音出力方法例の場合も、各音Ａ、ＢおよびＣの発音継続時間は任意に設定することができる。勿論、音記憶部３５ｂに４種類以上の音を記憶させておけば、変化に富んだ音発生を行うことができる。 The first example of the sound output method is a method in which a sound is emitted in the order of A, B, C, A, B, C, A, B, C... Every time an impact sufficient for sound generation is applied to the play ball. The second example of the sound output method is a method in which a sound is emitted in the order of A, A, B, B, C, C, A, A... Every time an impact sufficient for sound generation is applied to the play ball. The third example of the sound output method is that, every time an impact sufficient for sound generation is applied to the play ball, one of the sounds A, B, and C according to the magnitude of the impact, for example, the sound of A when the impact is large. This is a method of emitting a sound B when the sound is medium and a sound C when the sound is small. In any of the sound output method examples, the sound continuation time of each of the sounds A, B, and C can be arbitrarily set. Of course, if four or more types of sounds are stored in the sound storage unit 35b, a variety of sounds can be generated.
次に、図１〜図６を用いて、前記遊戯用ボールの使用方法と空気注入操作等を、前記遊戯用ボールによって得られる効果を交えて説明する。 Next, a method of using the play ball and an air injecting operation will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 6, together with effects obtained by the play ball.
遊戯に際しては、図３に示した状態で、密接部３３を音出力部３０から取り外して音出力ユニット３５の電源スイッチ３５ｆ（図４を参照）をオンにし、この後、密接部３３を音出力部３０に再び取り付ける。そして、図５に実線矢印で示したように、音出力部３０をボール本体部１０の装着部２０に装着する。 At the time of a game, in the state shown in FIG. 3, the close part 33 is detached from the sound output part 30 and the power switch 35f (see FIG. 4) of the sound output unit 35 is turned on. Reattach to part 30. Then, as indicated by the solid arrow in FIG. 5, the sound output unit 30 is mounted on the mounting unit 20 of the ball body 10.
音出力部３０の密接部３３はその外周面が装着部２０の内周面と密接状態で変位できるようになっており、かつ、弾性部材３４によって装着部２０の内周面との気密性が高められている。そのため、音出力部３０を装着部２０に装着すると、第１の空間Ｓ１内の圧力が高められ、第１の空間Ｓ１から空気注入部２１を通じて第２の空間Ｓ２に空気が注入される（図５の破線矢印を参照）。すなわち、従前のような専用の空気注入器がなくても、装着部２０の装着によって第２の空間Ｓ２への空気注入を行うことができる。また、第１の空間Ｓ１を適当な大きさに確保しておけば、１回の装着操作によって十分量の空気を第２の空間Ｓ２に注入することができる。 The outer peripheral surface of the close contact portion 33 of the sound output portion 30 can be displaced in a state of being in close contact with the inner peripheral surface of the mounting portion 20, and the elasticity of the elastic member 34 with respect to the inner peripheral surface of the mounting portion 20 increases the airtightness. Has been enhanced. Therefore, when the sound output unit 30 is mounted on the mounting unit 20, the pressure in the first space S1 is increased, and air is injected from the first space S1 into the second space S2 through the air injection unit 21 (FIG. 5 dashed arrow). That is, air can be injected into the second space S2 by mounting the mounting portion 20 without using a dedicated air injector as before. Also, if the first space S1 is secured to an appropriate size, a sufficient amount of air can be injected into the second space S2 by one mounting operation.
図２に示したように、前記装着によって音出力部３０のボール補助部３１がボール本体部１０の平坦面１０ａに当接すると、前記空気注入が完了する。また、ボール補助部３１の嵌め込み部３１ａがボール本体部１０の連結部１１の開口部１１ａに嵌め込まれるとともに、ボール本体部１０の外形がボール補助部３１によって補われて全体が球形の遊戯用ボールとなる。 As shown in FIG. 2, when the ball auxiliary portion 31 of the sound output portion 30 comes into contact with the flat surface 10a of the ball body portion 10 by the mounting, the air injection is completed. Further, the fitting portion 31a of the ball assisting portion 31 is fitted into the opening 11a of the connecting portion 11 of the ball body portion 10, and the outer shape of the ball body portion 10 is supplemented by the ball assisting portion 31 so that the whole ball is a play ball. Becomes
加えて、前記装着による空気注入や外気温度の上昇等によって第２の空間Ｓ２内の圧力が許容値よりも高くなったときには、第２の空間Ｓ２から空気排出部２２を通じて第１の空間Ｓ１に空気が排出され（図２の破線矢印を参照）、この排出空気はボール補助部３１の周囲隙間を通じて外部に放出される。すなわち、第２の空間Ｓ２内の圧力が許容値を超えることがないため、第２の空間Ｓ２内の圧力が異常に高くなることを原因とした障害、たとえば衝撃が加わったときに遊戯用ボールが破裂したり割れたりする等の障害を防止することができる。また、空気排出部２２は、音出力部３０の装着状態において、図２に示す通り、密接部３３よりも外周が小さい中継部３２と密接状態にはならず、所定の空間が形成されるので、前述の空気の排出が容易に行われる。 In addition, when the pressure in the second space S2 becomes higher than an allowable value due to air injection or an increase in outside air temperature due to the mounting, the second space S2 is transferred from the second space S2 to the first space S1 through the air discharge unit 22. The air is discharged (see the dashed arrow in FIG. 2), and the discharged air is discharged to the outside through the clearance around the ball assisting portion 31. That is, since the pressure in the second space S2 does not exceed the allowable value, an obstacle caused by an abnormally high pressure in the second space S2, for example, a play ball when an impact is applied. Can be prevented from being broken or broken. In addition, as shown in FIG. 2, the air discharge unit 22 does not come into close contact with the relay unit 32 whose outer periphery is smaller than the close unit 33 when the sound output unit 30 is attached, and a predetermined space is formed. The above-mentioned air is easily discharged.
遊戯用ボールは図１および図２に示した状態、すなわち、ボール本体部１０の装着部２０に音出力部３０が装着された状態で遊戯に使用される。遊戯に伴って遊戯用ボールに音発生に足りる衝撃が加わると、この衝撃に基づいて音出力ユニット３５から選択的に音が発せられ、この音によって遊戯者およびその周囲の者に対して充足感を与えることができる。音出力ユニット３５からの音出力方法には、先に紹介した音出力方法例に準じた音出力方法以外の音出力方法を採用してもよい。 The play ball is used for play in the state shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, that is, in a state in which the sound output section 30 is mounted on the mounting section 20 of the ball body 10. When an impact sufficient to generate a sound is applied to the play ball during the game, a sound is selectively emitted from the sound output unit 35 based on the impact, and the sound gives the player and the surroundings a sense of satisfaction. Can be given. As a sound output method from the sound output unit 35, a sound output method other than the sound output method based on the sound output method example introduced above may be adopted.
遊戯が終了して遊戯用ボールが放置されると、音出力ユニット３５は通常モードから省電力モードに移行して、電源部３５ｅから制御部３５ａ等への電力供給が制限されるため、長期間使用しない場合を除き、遊戯終了の度にボール本体部１０の装着部２０から音出力部３０を抜き出して音出力ユニット３５の電源スイッチ３５ｆ（図４を参照）をオフにする必要はない。 When the game is over and the game ball is left, the sound output unit 35 shifts from the normal mode to the power saving mode, and the power supply from the power supply unit 35e to the control unit 35a and the like is limited. It is not necessary to pull out the sound output unit 30 from the mounting unit 20 of the ball body unit 10 and turn off the power switch 35f (see FIG. 4) of the sound output unit 35 every time the game is over, unless it is not used.
遊戯終了後にボール本体部１０の装着部２０から音出力部３０を抜き出した場合には、図６に示したように、ボール本体部１０の平坦面１０ａを利用してボール本体部１０をテーブルや机等の平らな面ＦＳに自立させることができる。すなわち、遊戯終了後にボール本体部１０を鑑賞用として設置することもできる。 When the sound output section 30 is extracted from the mounting section 20 of the ball body section 10 after the game is over, as shown in FIG. 6, the ball body section 10 is moved to a table or the like by using the flat surface 10a of the ball body section 10. It can be made independent on a flat surface FS such as a desk. That is, after the game is over, the ball body 10 can be installed for appreciation.
なお、図４には複数の音（複数の音声と複数の音楽の少なくとも一方）を選択的に発することができる音出力ユニット３５を示したが、遊戯用ボールに音発生に足りる衝撃が加わる度に１つの音（音声または音楽）を繰り返し発するような音出力ユニットを変わりに用いてもよい。 Although FIG. 4 shows the sound output unit 35 that can selectively emit a plurality of sounds (at least one of a plurality of sounds and a plurality of music), each time a sufficient impact is applied to the play ball to generate a sound. Alternatively, a sound output unit that repeatedly emits one sound (voice or music) may be used.
また、図１には表面に絵柄がない遊戯用ボールを示したが、アニメーションや漫画や小説等に登場するキャラクターを模した絵柄の他、動物や自動車や飛行機等を模した絵柄を遊戯用ボールの表面に付けてもよい。このようにすれば、遊戯中は勿論のこと、図６に示した自立状態でのボール本体部１０の鑑賞においても、遊戯者およびその周囲の者に対してより一層の充足感を与えることができる。 FIG. 1 shows a play ball having no pattern on its surface. In addition to a pattern imitating a character appearing in an animation, a manga, a novel, or the like, a play ball imitating an animal, a car, an airplane, or the like is used. You may attach to the surface of. By doing so, it is possible to give the player and the people around him a greater sense of satisfaction not only during the game, but also in appreciating the ball body 10 in the self-standing state shown in FIG. it can.
さらに、図１には表面が滑らかな遊戯用ボールを示したが、表面に凹凸を付けることにより、サッカーボールやバレーボールやバスケットボールやドッジボール等のスポーツ用ボールに似せた表面模様を付けてもよい。 Further, although FIG. 1 shows a play ball having a smooth surface, a surface pattern resembling a sports ball such as a soccer ball, a volleyball, a basketball, a dodgeball or the like may be provided by making the surface uneven.
