Description

[Detailed description of the invention] [Industrial application field] This invention relates to a takoyaki game board.

[Background of the idea]

Takoyaki as a food is made by heating an iron plate with many hemispherical grooves, pouring udon powder into the grooves, placing octopus fillets and other ingredients on top, pouring the udon powder on top, and then using a stick-shaped tool. The balls are then deftly turned over in the grooves and baked into a spherical shape, and once baked, each piece is picked up, placed on a plate, and served to the customer. During this takoyaki process, the work of turning the takoyaki inside the hemispherical groove and placing the cooked takoyaki pieces one by one on a plate is done skillfully and quickly, making it entertaining not only for children but also for adults to watch. .

[Purpose of invention]

This idea turns the fun of takoyaki work into a game, and uses the attractive and repulsive forces of permanent magnets to flip a hollow sphere inside out inside a hemispherical groove on a board that resembles a takoyaki griddle. To provide a takoyaki game board in which a hole is exposed depending on the orientation, a rod-like object is inserted into the hole, a hollow sphere is picked up, and the player can compete for the number of hollow spheres.

[Structure of the idea]

In order to achieve the above object, this invention has a main body having a plurality of hemispherical grooves, in which permanent magnets of different polarities can alternately and repeatedly pass directly under each hemispherical groove;
It is configured to include a hollow sphere with permanent magnets of different polarities fixed on the front and back inner surfaces, at least one hole bored on either the front and back surfaces, and a rod-shaped body that can be inserted into the hole of the hollow sphere.

〔Example〕

Next, this invention will be explained based on embodiments shown in the accompanying drawings.

FIG. 1 shows an exploded perspective view of the main body of the board. The main body 1 is an outer box 3 having a plurality of hemispherical grooves 2 on the top surface.
, a turntable 5 that rotates horizontally within the outer box 3 and has a permanent magnet 4 embedded in its upper surface, a bearing 6 that pivotally supports the center shaft 5' of the turntable 5, and a drive means 7 for the turntable 5. It consists of a bottom plate 8 equipped with. The hemispherical groove 2 is a double concentric circle b drawn around the center point a of the upper surface of the outer box 3, as shown in the second diagram.
They are arranged in two rows on b′. That is,
The inner four pieces are on the inner circle b, and the outer four pieces are on the outer circle b'. The rotation center of the turntable 5 coincides with the center point a, and there are two permanent magnets 4 on the turntable 5, two each on a circle corresponding to the inner circle b and on a circle corresponding to the outer circle b'. The permanent magnets 4 arranged on the same circle have opposite polarities on their upper surfaces. That is, when the turntable 5 rotates, permanent magnets 4 of different polarities can be alternately and repeatedly passed directly under each hemispherical groove 2. The driving means 7
is activated by pressing a push button 9 provided on the top surface of the outer box 3, and the turntable 5 can be urged to rotate for a certain game time (set to about 30 seconds by a timer, etc.) via a roller 7'. It's summery.
The power source of this driving means 7 is not limited to an electric motor, and mechanical means such as a spring may be used. In addition, 1
Reference numeral 0 denotes a rail for horizontally rotating the turntable 5, and trays 11 and 11' are disposed opposite to each other on the upper surface of the outer box 3 with the hemispherical groove 2 forming area in between.

FIG. 3 shows a hemispherical groove 2 provided on the top surface of the outer box 3.
This figure shows a hollow sphere 12 of a size that can be loosely fitted into the hollow sphere 12.As shown in the figure, the hollow sphere 12 is made by integrating two hemispheres 12a and 12b with adhesive or the like, and the opposing inner surfaces have different polarities. permanent magnet 1
3 and 13' are fixed respectively, and at least one hole 14 is bored near one of the permanent magnets 13. This hollow sphere 12 is made to look like takoyaki, and if one of the hemispheres 12a and 12b is colored differently after baking (orange) and the other is the color before baking (yellow). , more interesting and convenient.

FIG. 4 shows a rod-shaped body 15 that is inserted into the hole 14 of the hollow sphere 12.
5c is provided to make it easier to get caught in the hole 14 of the inserted sphere 12.

Next, the operation of the above embodiment will be explained.

First, the hollow sphere 12 is inserted into the hemispherical groove 2 on the top surface of the outer box 3 as shown in FIG. 6, and the push button 9 is pressed. This causes the drive means 7 to operate and rotate the turntable 5. As the turntable 5 rotates, the permanent magnet 4 provided on its upper surface passes directly under the hemispherical groove 2. Since the permanent magnets 4 are provided with different polarities on the same circle, the N and S poles repeatedly pass through each other alternately and are fixed to the opposing inner surfaces of the hollow sphere 12 fitted in the hemispherical groove 2. The permanent magnets 13, 13' of different polarity reversed in response to the polarity of the permanent magnet 4 passing through. For example, as shown in FIG. 5, the permanent magnet 4 passing directly under the hemispherical groove 2 is the north pole,
If the permanent magnets 13 on the side of the hollow sphere 12 that are fitted into the hemispherical groove 2 are N poles, they repel each other, and the hollow sphere 12 is instantaneously reversed within the hemispherical groove 2 as shown in the figure to the S pole side. down. Next, when the S-pole permanent magnet 4 on the turntable 5 passes directly under this same hemispherical groove 2 as shown in the same figure, the S poles repel each other again and the magnet is instantly reversed as shown in the same figure. Become. This reversal of the hollow spheres 12 is performed randomly with time differences in relation to the rotational speed of the turntable 5 for all the hemispherical grooves 2.

In this way, the hole 14 drilled near one of the permanent magnets of the hollow sphere 12, which is repeatedly inverted within the hemispherical groove 2, is exposed on the front side or hidden within the hemispherical groove, so that the player can When the ball is exposed on the surface, quickly insert the tip of the rod-shaped body 15, pick up the hollow sphere 12 as shown in FIG.
1 or 11', and move on to the operation of taking out another hollow sphere 12 again. In this case, since the game time of the turntable 5 is set in advance by a timer or the like after the push button 9 is pressed, the turntable stops when the time elapses, and the hollow sphere 12, which has been repeating the reversing operation, stops. becomes still. The game ends with this stationary signal, and from then on, even if there are hollow spheres 12 left in the hemispherical groove 2, picking them up is prohibited, and the match is determined by the number of hollow spheres 12 picked up so far. Ru.

[Effect of idea]

As mentioned above, this invention consists of a main body with multiple hemispherical grooves that allow permanent magnets of different polarity to pass alternately and repeatedly directly under each hemispherical groove, and a permanent magnet of different polarity fixed to the opposing inner surface. However, it is characterized by having a hollow sphere with a hole in the vicinity of one of the permanent magnets and a rod-shaped body that can be inserted into the hole of the hollow sphere, so that the hollow sphere is moved by the attractive and repulsive forces of the permanent magnet. In addition to the visual fun of flipping, there is also the action-like fun of inserting a rod-shaped object into the hole of the repeatedly flipping sphere at the right time to pick it up. It is extremely fun to play as the agility of the players is also competed.

In addition, it has a simple structure, does not break down, does not require complicated rules for playing, and the playing time required for one game is short, so it has the excellent effect that everyone from children to adults can easily enjoy it. It is something to play.
