Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] This invention relates to a new ball game device.

Generally, as a scoring game ball used in a game to compete for points, there is a scoring ball (Utility Model Publication No. 18686, 1973) which was previously devised by these inventors. This is a hollow sphere whose half surface is made of a transparent material, and its internal structure, as illustrated in FIG. One spherical weight 16 is inserted into the recess 15 as appropriate, and symbols or numbers are indicated at six locations on the outer surface corresponding to the recess 15.

However, this game ball was held in the hand and rolled on a table, the ground, or water to score the numbers that appeared on the top of the ball, and required a relatively large space to rotate it.

In order to overcome these drawbacks, a small game device (Japanese Utility Model Application No. 168388/1983) is known in which game balls are housed in a container filled with liquid.

However, with the above-mentioned game device, the ball does not rotate sufficiently unless the entire game device is shaken.
In addition, there was a problem that the operation was monotonous and lacked interest.

This invention aims to solve the above-mentioned problems and to rotate a game ball in a container containing liquid in a simple and interesting manner.

That is, as shown in FIG. 1, the ball game device according to this invention stores three game balls 2 inside a transparent box-shaped game device body 1 formed from a transparent hard plastic board. Water 3 is sealed in a liquid-tight manner to the extent that the game ball 2 floats.

The game device main body 1 has a bottom wall 4 facing upward and downward.
It is formed into a vertically elongated flat box shape, consisting of a top wall 5, a large facing side wall 6, an end wall 7, and an end wall 8 with a bent surface, and a liquid-tight frame 9 is provided at the joint edge around each wall. A flat ball running base 10 parallel to the bottom wall 4 is provided at the center of the interior, and a ball falling portion 11 is formed between the tip of this ball running base 10 and the inner surface of the end wall 8. Water inlet 13 with plug 12
is formed.

The game ball 2, as shown in FIG.
It is made of an elastic material such as rubber or synthetic resin, and arc-shaped recesses 15 are formed in six positive directions on the inner wall surface of the spherical hollow part 14, and one elastic spherical weight 16 is fitted into the recess 15 as appropriate. It is loaded, and furthermore, codes or numbers 17 such as 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 are prominently displayed in the circular different-colored surface 18 at six locations corresponding to the respective recesses 15 on the outer surface.

This game ball 2 is placed in any of the recesses 1 during rotation.
A weight 16 is randomly inserted into 5, and when it is at rest, the weight of this weight 16 causes it to be in a stationary state with no displacement, so the game can be played with the code or number 17 on the top surface at this time. .

The game ball machine according to this invention has the above-mentioned structure, and when it is used for a game, the game ball 2 is moved by holding the game machine main body 1 and tilting the side wall 6 largely to the side. In order to move the ball onto the table 10, and then to separate the water 3 and the game ball 2, the ball running table 10 is temporarily brought into a substantially horizontal state.

Next, the game device main body 1 is oscillated to rotate the game ball 2 toward the tip of the ball running platform 10, and the ball falling portion 11 is moved at an appropriate timing.
When dropped onto the water surface, it becomes a floating state with no displacement on the water surface, and the game progresses based on the code on the top surface of each game ball 2, the combination of numbers 17, or the total score. Further, when the game ball 2 falls, it hits the bending surface of the end wall 8 and is sequentially sent below the ball carriage 10. The above operations can be performed in the same way even when the game device main body 1 is shaped like a vertically symmetrical box and is turned upside down.

As described above, according to the ball game machine of this invention, the game machine main body is completely transparent so that operations and scoring can be confirmed from the surroundings, and the game ball 2 is placed on the flat ball running table 10 and once placed in the water. Separate it from the ball running platform 1 and shake it delicately so that the desired number 17 is displayed after it falls.
Since it is dropped from 0, it can be operated easily and with high interest. Furthermore, since the game ball falls through water, there are effects such as less impact noise and no danger.
