Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] Industrial Application Field The present invention relates to a shooting game device in which targets are shot with a ray gun and competitors compete for superiority in shooting.

BACKGROUND ART In a conventional shooting game device, a target of a predetermined shape is fixedly arranged in advance at a predetermined position within the game device housing, and the target is shot. However, with this device, the targets are limited to a specific type, so the game lacks fun. To make it more interesting, it is possible to replace the target inside the device housing with various types, but in conventional devices, the target is located inside the device housing, which makes it difficult to replace.

Problems to be Solved by the Invention In view of the above points, the present invention aims to provide a shooting game device that can easily use various types of objects as game targets.

Means for Solving the Problems To achieve the above object, the present invention includes a light gun that emits a beam of light when operated by a player, and a mirror that projects a target located at a predetermined position so that the player can see it. , a reflector plate that is placed between the mirror and the player and reflects some of the light rays and transmits some of the light rays, and the player uses a light gun to aim the target image reflected on the mirror and a light-receiving sensor disposed at a position capable of receiving the light reflected by the reflector when the light is fired.

The present invention will be described below based on examples.

FIG. 1 is a sectional view of one embodiment. In the figure, a half mirror 2 as a reflecting plate, a light receiving sensor 3 supported by a support plate 21, and a display device 22 are provided inside a housing 20. Player 2
3a stands at a predetermined position on the left side of the housing 20 holding a light beam gun 4, and fires a light beam L by operating the light beam.
A portion of the housing 20 facing the player 23a is an opening 25.

A screen 24 is set up behind the player 23a, and further back from the screen 24, another player 23b stands at a predetermined position, as shown in FIG. A convex mirror 1 is disposed on the back side of the half mirror 2 (on the right side in the figure) when viewed from the player 23a. When the player 23a looks at the half mirror 2 and the convex mirror 1 on the back side of the half mirror 2 through the opening 25, there is an image of another player 23b at approximately the center P (FIG. 4) of the convex mirror 1, as shown in FIG. A mirror image 33b appears. When viewed from the player 23a, the mirror image 33b appears to be on the back side of the housing 20 (on the right side of the housing in the figure) as shown in FIG. 1 or 3.

The player 23a takes aim at the mirror image 33b of the other player 23b, operates the light gun 4, and fires the light beam L. This light beam L is emitted toward the mirror image 33b as a target, but in reality, it is reflected by the half mirror 2 on the way and goes in another direction (upward in the figure). If the reflection point by the half mirror 2 is within the specific area (FIG. 5), the reflected light is further reflected by the mirror 6 and then received by the light receiving sensor 3.

The light receiving sensor 3 that receives the light outputs a signal in response to the light, and the output signal is input to a control circuit (not shown) in a control box 26 disposed at the bottom of the housing 20. When this control circuit receives a signal from the light receiving sensor 3, it drives the display device 22 to display that fact, that is, that the light beam has been received. From this display, the player 23a confirms that the light beam has hit the target mirror image 33b of another player 23b.

If the light ray L deviates from the specific area S in FIG. 5, the light ray L will not be received by the light receiving sensor 3. Therefore, a hit is not displayed on the display device 22 either.

As is clear from the above explanation, in this example,
Mirror image 33b of another player 23b using convex mirror 1
This is used as a target.
Therefore, if you place any other object in place of the other player 23b at a predetermined position where another player 23b is standing or at a predetermined position in the middle of the optical path from the other player 23b to the convex mirror 1, this can be used as a target. There are no restrictions on size, shape, etc. Moreover, it is an extremely simple task of simply placing things.

In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 2, a plurality of (eight in the figure) LEDs 27 are provided around the light receiving sensor 3 as sensor display means. When these LEDs 27 emit light, the emitted light is the first
The player 2 is reflected by the mirror 6 and half mirror 2 in the figure.
Reach 3a. As a result, the player 23a can know the area where the light receiving sensor 3 is provided, and can shoot at this area. This area identified by LED 27 is
This is simply an area that includes the specific area S for receiving light described above.

In the example, the convex mirror 1 is used as a mirror image 33.
This is to make b appear farther away when viewed from the player 23a. This increases the difficulty of shooting and makes the game more interesting. Of course,
You can also use a plane mirror.

In FIG. 1, it is convenient to make the mirror 6 rotatable about the fulcrum 28. For example, if the mirror 6 is rotated as shown by the broken line or the dashed-dotted line in the figure, the optical path of the light beam exiting the gun 4 and entering the light receiving sensor 3 changes as shown by the broken line or the dashed-dotted line, respectively. In other words, the specific area that the player 23a should aim at is changed from S to S' or S''. With this configuration, even if the height of another player 23b who should be the target changes in various ways, sniping The specific area S, which is a point, can always be aligned with a certain position (for example, a part corresponding to the heart) of another player 23b.

Reference numeral 8 in FIG. 2 is an explosion pattern. This is an explosion pattern drawn on a translucent member. In FIG. 1, a xenon lamp 7 is provided on the left side of the translucent member 30 on which the explosion pattern is drawn. This xenon lamp 7 is connected to the control box 26.
The light receiving sensor 3 emits light when it receives light from the light gun 4 according to instructions from a control circuit inside. This light emission from the xenon lamp 7 creates an explosion pattern 8.
The light image is visually recognized by the player 23a through the mirror 6 and the half mirror 2, and as a result, the player 23a can visually recognize the hit by an effective method other than the display device 22.

In the above embodiment, when another player 23b is the target for the player 23a, when viewed from the side of the other player 23b, the player 23a is the target for the other player 23b. It can be. That is, when another player 23b looks at the convex mirror 1, there is a mirror image 3 of the player 23a as shown in FIG.
3a is projected. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 3, if the light gun 4 is also prepared on the side of another player 23b, the other player 23b can play a game with the player 23a as the target. In this case, of course, another set of light receiving sensors and, if necessary, the burst pattern 8 etc. are prepared for another player 23b. In this way, when two players compete against each other, the game becomes even more interesting.

An example of the game method has been described above, but the game can be made even more enjoyable by using the following configuration. In FIG. 1, a switch 32 for detecting the presence or absence of a gun 4 is provided in a gun mount 31. A signal from this switch 32 is input to a control circuit within the control box 26. When adopting this configuration, a timing circuit is built into the control circuit, and this timing circuit turns on the gun mount switch 32 (turns on when the gun 4 is removed from the gun mount 31).
The time from when the light receiving sensor receives the light beam L is measured, and the measurement result is displayed on the display device 22.
will be displayed. This time measurement result is issued for each of the players 23a and 23b. Therefore, it was found that the one with the shorter time was the one who fired faster.
In FIG. 4, the lamps 60a and 60b that were used for rapid firing are turned on. This allows a rapid fire game to be played with an opponent.

Effects According to the present invention, since a target image is created using a mirror, objects of various shapes or sizes can be targeted. Furthermore, the task of setting such an object as a target is easy.
