Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] The present invention relates to a game device, particularly a ball-spinning game device shaped like a gourd.

The purpose of the present invention is to provide a gourd-shaped ball spinning game machine that can be played in a variety of ways by making various modifications according to the skill of each person, has an extremely simple structure, and can be obtained at low cost.

Hereinafter, the present invention will be explained based on the drawings.

In the figure, reference numeral 1 denotes the main body of the game machine, which is a hollow body having three bumps 1a, 1b, and 1c and resembling the shape of a so-called gourd. Internal chambers 1a', 1 in each hump 1a, 1b, 1c of the game device main body 1
b' and 1c' are connected at the narrowed part,
The lowest hump 1c has an opening 1d that opens downward.

The material of the game device main body 1 may be metal or non-metal such as wood, plastic, or gourd, and may be transparent or opaque. Games are more interesting if they make sounds.
The number of the bumps 1a, . . . may be arbitrary, but it is desirable to make the bottom bump 1c the smallest in order to make the game more difficult.

When playing a ball spinning game using the game device main body 1 configured as described above, first, the exit portion 1d is faced upward, and the game device main body 1 is opened from here.
Put 2 small balls inside. The small balls 2 may be glass balls, steel balls, etc., but those with as high a specific gravity as possible are effective. Once the small ball 2 is inserted, the game device main body 1 is swung, and the small ball 2 is rotated around the inner wall surface of the internal chamber 1a' by its centrifugal force. When the small ball 2 starts spinning in earnest, turn the game console 1 back to its original direction.
That is, even if the exit portion 1d is directed downward, the game device main body 1
As long as the ball 2 is being swung around, the centrifugal force of the ball 2 will keep it spinning along the wall of the internal chamber 1a', and it will not fall. When the game device body 1 is swung faster, the centrifugal force increases, so the small balls 2 are located on the outermost walls of the internal chambers 1a'. From the narrow space between them, they fall into a hump below.

In this way, by changing the way the game device main body 1 is swung, the small balls 2 inside are moved to each bump 1a.
You can freely move up and down between...

Therefore, for example, how long can you spin a ball without dropping it, how freely can you move it through multiple bumps, and how can you move multiple balls simultaneously and independently? As you can see, there are many ways to play depending on each person's skill.

As described above, the present invention not only allows players to play games that require extremely technical skills with an extremely simple structure, but also has practical benefits such as being useful for exercise.
