can be dropped one by one. Note that the guide walls 37, 38, etc. may be provided either on the back surface of the transparent cover 4 or on the board surface 3 side.

Next, a method of using the game board constructed as described above will be explained.

First, the entire game board 1 is used vertically or tilted. In addition, the plurality of balls 44 that are in the safe ball and out ball storage sections 47, 46 in advance are
The balls are collected in the ball holder 45 along the route indicated by the dotted arrow in FIG. In this state, the ball dropping lever 22 is pushed to move the shutter pieces 25, 26 to the right and drop one ball in the guide walls 51, 51. This ball 4
4 falls down the zigzag path 49 over time, eventually comes out, and rolls on the rolling path 50.

When the ball 44 is rolling on the rolling path 50, if you pull the operating lever 5 toward you at the right time, it rotates clockwise in FIG. 3 about the pin 6, and the sliding lever Raise 8. Therefore, since the lever 10 integrated therewith also rises against the torsion coil spring 12, the movable body 29 is pulled by the spring 33 and rises until it hits the tip of the guide 27. Therefore, if you release your finger from the operating lever 5 just before the ball 44 rolling on the turning road 50 comes to a position facing the moving body 29, the lever 10 will be lowered by the restoring force of the torsion coil spring 12, and the lever 10 will be lowered. The tapered portion 10a is the projecting piece 30 of the moving body 29.
hit. Therefore, the moving body 29
It rapidly descends along the elongated hole 28 against the tensile force of.

Therefore, if the timing is good, the moving object 29
A permanent magnet 31 fixed to can attract the rolling balls 44.

Then, the movable body 29 that has attracted the ball 44 returns upward due to the contraction force of the spring 33, returning to the state shown in FIG. When the operating lever 17 is pressed in this state, the rotating lever 14 is rotated counterclockwise in FIG. The balls 44 adsorbed by the movable body 29 are scraped off and guided to the safe ball storage section 47 along the route indicated by the solid line arrow in FIG.

On the other hand, the operation timing of the control lever 5 is bad,
When the movable body 29 cannot adsorb the ball 44, the ball 44 falls into the out ball storage section 46 along the partition wall 37. In this way, the safe ball storage section 47
Compete to introduce more balls 44.

As described above, in the present invention, a moving object having a permanent magnet is brought close to a ball rolling on a game board surface in a timely manner by operating a lever, and the ball is attracted to the permanent magnet of the moving object. The ball is thrown away by the lever, and unless the timing of the lever operation is correct, the ball cannot be thrown away. Therefore, an interesting game board is provided where the player operates the lever in order to throw away more balls.
