Description

[Detailed explanation of the idea] The present invention relates to a ball holder for games.

In other words, it is used in combination with a game board, etc., and can be stored in series by receiving balls one by one until a predetermined number of balls are received. The first ball can be released, and the ball that is inserted into the pin etc. of the game board can be pushed out from the upper opening and released. To provide a device that allows various games to be played that make full use of memory power, has an extremely interesting structure, is easy to hold and handle, and can be played suitably.

Next, one embodiment shown in the drawings will be described.

A shows the entire ball holder, and the inside shows the ball B.
The entire cylindrical shape is shaped like a question mark and has no curved shape, and a cylindrical body 5 is fitted into the lower end of the cylindrical body, and a receiving opening 1 that opens downward is provided below the cylindrical body. Both springs 2, 2, which are elastic pieces that can lightly lock and hold the ball B from both sides, are vertically installed inside the cylinder 5 which is the inside of the receiving port 1, and forms a discharge port 3 that opens downward, and four balls B can be housed in series from within the receiving port 1 up to the middle of the upward curved portion 4 connected to the discharge port 3. form,
The interior is formed in such a way that if the ball B reaches the upper interior of the spiral center 6 which is the center side of the upwardly curved portion 4, the ball B will not be able to stay there and will roll out to the discharge port 3 side. Configure.

C is a game board, which is divided into 17 block faces 7, with a pin 8 erected in the middle of each block face 7, and the partition face between adjacent block faces 7 and 7 has the above-mentioned pins. Each gate 9 through which the ball holder A passes is formed by forming a notch.

The balls B have a large number of red, blue, yellow,
Color the balls green and black and arrange them as a predetermined number of colored balls.In addition to coloring the balls as described above, you can make the game even more interesting by writing or engraving necessary symbols and numbers on the surface of the balls. shall be taken as a thing.

Thus, during the game, a plurality of players each hold the ball holder A, while a colored ball B is arbitrarily placed on each block surface 7, and each player takes turns from the block surface 7 to the adjacent block surface. As shown in FIG. 9, the player moves the ball holder A to the ball holder A by placing his thumb and index finger on both sides of the spiral center 6, which is the center of the question mark shape. This means that you can hold it.

In this way, the lower receiving opening 1 of the ball holder A is faced above the ball B on the block surface 7, and when aligned as shown in FIG. 10 and pushed down as shown by the arrow (A), the ball B is received from the receiving port 1 and held as it is by the springs 2, 2, and in the same way, it is bitten one after another.
As shown in FIG. 8, when five balls B are accommodated, the last ball B that can be stored can be used to support and hold the fifth ball B. Since the ball storage limit of the cylinder body is exceeded, the ball B at the tip that is bitten first and reaches the top of the cylinder will be ejected from the discharge port 3, as shown by the imaginary line in Fig. 8. , with four balls B accommodated, the first
As shown in Figure 1, when the ball holder A is pushed down by aligning the receiving port 1 with the pin 8, the pin 8 pushes up the ball B inside, so the most advanced ball B will move as shown by the arrow (b) as before. As shown, it is discharged from the discharge port 3. Note that when the ball holder A is removed from the pin 8 and lifted up, the lower balls B fall between the springs 2 and 2, and the three balls B remain accommodated therein.

The above is a case in which the outer shape is curved in the shape of a question mark, but let's talk about the one shown in Figure 12 based on the present invention. However, the outer shape of the cylinder is an upright cylinder with no curves or bends, and the bottom surface of the cylinder is open to form an opening 1 for receiving the ball, and the lower inner surface of the cylinder has an opening 1 for receiving the ball. There are springs 2, 2 that hold the cylindrical body between them, but a part of the side surface of the upper part of the cylinder is cut out to form a discharge port 3, and an inclined surface 10 is formed on the inner surface of the upper part of the cylinder toward the discharge port 3.
Therefore, when a ball is received using the ball holder shown in FIG. 12, the ball is inserted from the lower bottom surface in the direction indicated by the arrow The balls are built in one after another by pressing, but when the highest loaded ball comes into contact with the inclined surface 10, it changes its direction toward the side discharge port, that is, in the direction of arrow Y, and is further pressed, so that it advances in the direction of arrow Z. The ball is ejected outward from the ejection port 3.
The one shown in Figure 2 also has a different outer shape, but its operation and effect are completely the same as those of the question mark-shaped outer shape described above. As a game, colored ball B
You can do this in a variety of ways, such as by biting the ball, putting it out on the block side 7 by color, announcing the color of the ball B that was bitten and putting it out, matching letters and symbols, or playing an association game. can.

In this way, the present invention provides a cylindrical ball holder through which balls can pass in series, the bottom surface of which is open to serve as a receiving port, and the inner surface of the bottom part of the tool is designed to hold balls lightly. A spring body that can be locked is installed inside the holder, and a discharge port that opens outward or outwardly downward is provided on the side surface of the upper end of the holder, and several balls are released upward from the lower receiving port. Since it is configured so that balls can be built in in series, balls can be received and stored one by one from the lower end receiving port until a predetermined number of balls are received, and the balls at the lower end can be locked by a spring. It is possible to hold all the balls well, and when a predetermined number of balls are caught, the first ball can be released from the upper release port, and the lower receiving port can be used for pins on the game board, etc. When inserted, the built-in ball can be pushed out from the release port and released, and in this way, you can pick up the ball, hit the released colored balls, and play a variety of games that use your thinking and memory skills. can be made into an interesting structure in the form of a question mark, and its shape makes it easy to grip, making it suitable for use.
