Description

[Detailed explanation of the invention] Industrial field of application This invention is applicable to drawings determined by selection, etc.
This game relates to a picture matching game in which a winner or loser is determined depending on whether a predetermined relationship exists between a picture or the like that is accidentally displayed as a result of the selection operation.

Technical Problems to be Solved A slot machine is a conventional machine similar to the picture-matching toy described above, but it has a complicated structure and is expensive, and cannot be easily obtained and played by children.

Furthermore, in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 57-69874, a doll arm having a game hand is provided on a rotating body, and when the doll arm corresponding to the opening is brought down at the stop position, the game hand is made to protrude from the opening. A selection button for specifying one of the game moves is provided, a determination section for determining the win or loss between the designated game move and the game hand protruding from the opening, and a display section for displaying the determination result. There is a description of a game device in which you can play a game of Janken with a game doll by operating a button to rotate a rotating body and then operating one of the selection buttons. The type of game move to be played and the timing at which the game move is projected from the opening are unilaterally determined by the machine operation control program including the game move program.
Therefore, the player can only press the selection button, and cannot influence or control the game hand projected from the opening by adjusting the operation time or timing. Furthermore, the game hand of the game doll may be exposed before the selection button is pressed, which may disturb the player.

Furthermore, in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 55-106183, when two players each specify the type of fist (goo, chiyoki, par) on the operation panel, the shape of the specified fist is displayed on the variable display section. In addition, there is described a Jiyanken game device in which a game determining means determines whether the fists specified by both players are won or lost, and the determination result is further displayed on a display section. , the figures to be compared are immediately and uniquely determined by the designated operations on both operation panels, and there is no play in the player's operations. In other words, the displayed graphics do not differ depending on the player's operation method (operation time and timing). Therefore, although it cannot include an element in which players compete based on their skills, it is still lacking in entertainment.

This invention was made in view of the above-mentioned conventional technology, and uses a simple configuration to change the type of picture displayed depending on the player's selection movement method (action time or movement timing). To provide a picture-matching game toy that enables players to enjoy competition through their training and skills.

Means for Solving Problems In order to solve the above problems, this invention includes a game box, a rotating body rotatably provided in the game box, and having a plurality of pictures or the like that define superiority/win/lose relationships arranged in the direction of rotation; a display window formed on the game box and exposing one of the pictures of the rotating body to the outside according to the stop angle of the rotating body, and based on input of a rotation command signal,
a rotation means for rotating the rotating body; a plurality of selection buttons arranged on the outer surface of the game box each displaying one picture of the rotating body; and any one of the selection buttons. a control means for giving at least a rotation stop command to the rotating means based on one operation; a magnetic body disposed on the rotating body corresponding to each picture, etc.; and a magnet provided on the game box. As the rotational speed of the rotating body decreases due to the stop of the rotating means, any one of the magnetic bodies of the rotating body is attracted, and a picture or the like corresponding to the magnetic body is displayed from the display window. a positioning means for stopping the rotating body at a position to be exposed; and determining whether or not a picture displayed on the display window of the stopped rotating body has a predetermined relationship with the content displayed by the operated selection button; The present invention is characterized by comprising a victory determining circuit that outputs an output when a predetermined relationship exists, and a victory display section that displays the victory of the selection button operator based on the output of the victory determining circuit.

Operation When the selection button is pressed, the control means gives a rotation command signal to the rotation means to rotate the rotating body. When the press is stopped at any time, the rotation means stops rotating. The rotating body rotates by inertia, and when the speed decreases, one of the magnetic bodies of the positioning means is attracted to a magnet and stopped. As a result, one of the pictures of the rotating body is exposed to the outside through the display window of the game box.

If the control means gives a rotation command signal to the rotation means by pressing the start switch,
A stop command signal is given to the rotating means based on the depression of the selection button.

The victory judgment circuit determines whether or not the picture displayed on the display window of the rotating body has a predetermined relationship with the content displayed by the operated selection button, and whether or not it matches the setting conditions of the electric circuit. If there is a predetermined relationship, it is output. The victory display section displays the victory of the selection button operator based on the output of the victory determination circuit.

Embodiment of this invention Next, an embodiment of this invention will be described based on the drawings.

Inside the game box 1, a disc or cylindrical rotating body 2 is provided rotatably at its center, and on one side or the outer circumferential surface of the rotating body, there are, for example, goo, paper, paper, etc. used in Jiyankenpong games. Multiple pictures (shapes, symbols, numbers) that define superiority, victory and defeat, and size relationships among each other, such as 3 ₁ ~
3 ₃ are arranged in the rotation direction.

The game box 1 is also provided with a display window 4 for displaying one of the pictures placed on the rotating body 2 at a predetermined position outside the box 1. Which one is displayed is determined by the stopping angle of the rotating body after rotation, which will be described later.

A number of selection buttons ₅₁ to ₅₃ equal to the number of the above-mentioned pictures are arranged on the front of the game box 1 and other positions that are easy for the player to operate. , any one of the pictures 6 ₁ to _{6 3} that are different from each other is described and displayed. Each of the selection buttons ₅₁ to ₅₃ is provided with a switch that outputs a signal when the button is operated, and the output of each switch is on the one hand given to the drive circuit 8 of the motor 7 that rotates the rotating body. ,
On the other hand, there are flip-flops ₉₁ to ₉₃ , for example, which memorize and output the operation of each selection button.
It is designed to be applied to a memory circuit 9 composed of.

The rotating body 2 is provided with a detection means 10 for detecting which picture, etc. is currently displayed on the display window 4. This detection means includes marks provided on the rotating body corresponding to each picture 3 ₁ to 3 ₃ of the rotating body, and a detection circuit 10 that detects any of the marks.
a, and a sensor circuit 10b that outputs different outputs corresponding to each picture based on the detection signal of the detection circuit. Such sensor circuits include one that uses a concoder as shown in FIG. 3, and one that uses a gate circuit as illustrated in FIG. 4. In the latter case, different digital marks M ₁ , M ₂ , M ₃ are provided on the side surface or outer circumferential surface of the rotating body at positions corresponding to the respective pictures, as illustrated in FIG.
Depending on the type of mark, whether only one of the detection circuits 10a ₁ and 10a ₂ outputs detection, both output, or only the other outputs, the gates 10b ₁ , 10b ₂ , 10b ₃ of the sensor circuit One of them will output.

In either case, each output of the memory circuits 9 ₁ to 9 ₃ and each output of the detection means 10 is connected to the gate circuit 1
It is used as an input to AND gates 11 ₁ to _{11 3} of 1.
The outputs of the gate circuits are all given as drive signals to a victory display section 13 provided at a position easily visible to the player, such as the front or top surface of the game box, via an OR gate 12 which is a drive circuit. This victory display section may be a simple one consisting of only a light bulb that is turned on by the drive circuit 12, or one in which the light bulb is covered with a cover in which the number of points scored, the details of benefits, etc. Any device may be used, such as one configured with a liquid crystal display.

The detection means 10, the memory circuit 9, and the gate circuit 11 detect whether the picture displayed on the display window 4 of the rotating body 2, which has been rotated or stopped under control by pressing the selection buttons ₅₁ to ₅₃ , is operated. determining whether there is a predetermined relationship with the content displayed by the selected selection button;
It constitutes a victory determination circuit that outputs an output when a predetermined relationship exists.

The game box 1 is further provided with a reset means which is operated to reset the selected memory in the memory circuit 9 every time one game is over. This reset means resets each memory circuit 9 ₁ when operated.
Although it can be easily configured with a switch 14 that provides a reset input to _9-3 , for example, a rule that allows a player who receives a victory display to rotate the rotation handle 15 provided in the game box only once as a reward. Accordingly, when the rotating handle is rotated, the valve plate 17 in the bottom hole of the article storage section 16 rotates, and the article 18 falls from the bottom hole to the discharge port 19 and is discharged. , the switch 14 is turned on, and the memory circuit 9
It is also possible to configure the system so that it is reset.

It should be noted that a battery 20 for supplying power to the motor 7 is housed in the game box 1 so as to be replaceable when a selection button is pressed.

With the above configuration, any one selection button 5
When pressed, the rotating body 2 is rotated by the motor 7, and when the pressing force is removed from the button, the rotating body 2 continues to rotate due to inertia, and then stops due to friction.

A magnetic material is placed at a predetermined position on the rotating body 2 so that when the rotational speed of the rotating body 2 is reduced to a certain level due to friction, one of the pictures on the rotating body stops at a position exactly facing the display window 4. Or permanent magnet 2
1 is fixed, and a permanent magnet or magnetic body 22 is arranged in the game box 1 so that magnetic attraction acts between the magnetic body or permanent magnet when each picture etc. stops corresponding to the display window. This constitutes a positioning means. The positioning means may employ other known configurations.

In this way, the picture displayed on the display window 4 when the rotating body 2 stops, and the displayed content of the selected selection button 5 that is operated, determine the winner according to the rules of superiority and inferiority determined by the settings of the winner determination circuit. When there is a relationship, a predetermined gate of the gate circuit 11 is operated by the output of the detection means 10 and the output of the memory circuit 9 operated by the operation of the selection button 5.
The victory determination circuit outputs an output, and the victory display section 13 is driven via the drive circuit 12, and the victory of the player concerned is displayed.

However, in this invention, the winner is determined by memorizing the selection button operated by the player, and visually comparing this with the content displayed on the display window to determine whether or not the winner is the winner. You can also compete and play based on the number of wins.

In the above embodiment, the rotating body is rotated while any selection button is operated, and when the selection button is stopped, the rotating body is stopped by frictional force after inertial rotation, and a picture or the like is displayed on the display window. However, as another play mode, this invention includes a switch other than the selection button, such as a switch that is turned on by inserting a simulated coin, and when the switch is turned on, driving power is given to the motor. starting the motor, and stopping the power supply to the motor by pressing any one of the selection buttons,
The rotating body may be frictionally stopped after its inertial movement.

Effects of this invention As described above, according to this invention, the picture selected by the player is determined by operating the selection button, and the driving and stopping of the rotating means for rotating the rotating body, or at least the stopping, is controlled. When the rotating body rotates due to inertia, it is stopped by the positioning means when the rotational speed decreases, and one of the pictures of the rotating body is exposed on the display window. The type of picture displayed may change depending on how you operate the selection button.
Since it is possible to match pictures based on the skill of the player, it is a much more interesting and enjoyable game equipment than the conventional picture matching game equipment in which the display content is determined immediately and unambiguously by simply pressing a selection button. It is.
