[Problems to be solved by the device]

 However, in the target plate of the conventional example, the insulating projections are arranged on the surface of the conductive sheet by the screen printing means, and the conductive sheet and the insulating projections are different members. Even after repeated use, the insulating protrusions are likely to be lost due to the strong impact force of the ball, and further, the repeated bending and extension of both conductive sheets causes a settling phenomenon, causing the insulating protrusions to In the missing part, it becomes impossible to keep the two conductive sheets (electrodes) apart from each other, and even if weak vibration is transmitted, a short-circuit phenomenon easily occurs at multiple places, making the sensor operation uncertain. Therefore, there is a problem that it cannot be used for a long time.

Therefore, in the above-mentioned conventional example, it is necessary to solve the problem that the sensor portion as a target, that is, both conductive sheets is surely maintained to be separated so as not to lose the sensor function even after long-term use. have.

[0005]

The arranged gaming target, wherein the sensor member is composed of a first conductive sheet and a second conductive sheet, and the humility or flexing property is maintained between the conductive sheets at a predetermined interval. Formed by interposing an insulating material consisting of a porous sheet having the above, and notifying the corresponding portion based on the signal received by both the conductive sheets of the portion corresponding to the main body portion and the target portion. The present invention provides a gaming target characterized by being provided with a notification and / or display means for displaying, wherein two conductive plates separated by a spacer as a sensor member at a desired interval. Tube with The touch sensor can be used and a priority circuit that prioritizes and / or displays the signal from the target unit when signals are simultaneously input from both sensor members at the boundary between the main unit and the target unit. It has a configuration provided.

[0006]

[Action]

 Since the first and second sheet-shaped conductive sheets are used as the sensor member, and the porous insulating material is interposed between the sheet-shaped conductive sheets, the gap between the sheet-shaped conductive sheets is reduced. Even if the game target is used for a long period of time while maintaining a stable state, the insulating material does not fall off or the settling phenomenon does not occur, and it always functions normally. By notifying or displaying, the playability is improved.

【Example】

 The invention will now be described with reference to some illustrated embodiments. In the first embodiment shown in FIGS. 1 to 4, 1 is a main body of a game target, and the main body 1 is formed in a rectangular plate shape as a whole, and a substantially central portion of the surface thereof, for example, of a baseball. The base plate-shaped target portion 2 is displayed by a predetermined display line 2a.

The main body 1 of the game target is formed in a sheet shape as a whole from an appropriate material such as a synthetic resin material or a rubber material, and exterior sheet materials 1a and 1b are arranged on both front and back surfaces. The pressure-sensitive sensor member 3 in the form of a sandwich is disposed entirely inside the pressure-sensitive sensor member 3.

As shown in FIG. 3, the pressure-sensitive sensor member 3 is provided with first and second cover sheets 4 and 5 made of a synthetic resin such as polyethylene on both sides, and the first and second cover sheets 4 and 5 are respectively provided on the inner side thereof. And the second conductive sheets 6 and 7, and an insulating material 8 that is flexible and flexible and is disposed between the conductive sheets 6 and 7.

The first and second cover sheets 4 and 5 are necessary to protect the first and second conductive sheets 6 and 7 inside and to adhere them to the exterior sheet materials 1a and 1b. It is an important thing.

As the first and second conductive sheets 6 and 7, for example, a metal mesh sheet in which a conductive material such as copper is formed in a mesh shape or a grid shape is used, and each of the first and second conductive sheets is used. A lead wire 9 is connected between the two conductive sheets 6 and 7 to obtain an electric signal.

The insulating material 8 is formed of, for example, a foamable material such as moltoprene or sponge material having a large number of irregular through holes 8a, and is a so-called humiliating or flexing porous sheet. The uniform insulation between the first and second conductive sheets 6 and 7 is maintained.

Therefore, unless a strong pressing force is locally applied to the first and second conductive sheets 6 and 7, the insulating state is maintained and they are not electrically connected. Further, by selecting various bending resistance and flexibility pressure resistance of the insulating material 8, it is possible to meet a predetermined impact force according to the purpose of use and the purpose of use.

The first and second conductive sheets 6 and 7 are divided by the insulating member 10 between the main body 1 and the target portion 2, that is, along the target display line 2a. The insulating member 10 is a strip having a U-shaped cross section, and the first and second conductive sheets 6 and 7 are divided along the display line 2a of the target portion 2, and the divided portions are respectively separated. The end part of is fitted and supported. Then, the one disposed inside the main body 1 will be referred to as a main body side sensor 3a, and the one disposed inside the target portion 2 will be described as a target side sensor 3b.

As shown in FIG. 4, a predetermined control circuit 11 is connected to the lead wire 9 for obtaining the signal, and the control circuit 11 performs predetermined notification or display. That is, the control circuit 11 has the signal input unit 12 and the control unit 13, and drives the display unit 14 or the notification unit 15 based on the signal obtained from the signal input unit 12.

In this case, when the obtained signals are simultaneously obtained from both the main body side sensor 3a and the target side sensor 3b, the priority order is set so as to be the signal from the target side sensor 3b. , And is driven by the control unit 13 so as to perform display and notification corresponding thereto.

The display unit 14 has a plurality of display bodies 14a to 14c, for example, a display based on a signal detected by the main body side sensor 3a and a display based on a signal detected by the target side sensor 3b. They are separately lit up (light emitting diodes, lamps, etc.).

In this case, the display bodies 14 a to 14 c are color-coded and lit and displayed. For example, when the ball hits the central portion of the target portion 2, red display is performed and the main body portion inside the target portion 2 is displayed. When it hits the vicinity of the boundary with 1 or on the display line 2a, it is displayed in blue, and when it hits the other main body 1, it is displayed in yellow.

Then, the notification unit 15 is driven together with the display, and performs notification corresponding to the display. For example, a buzzer, a chime, or a combination thereof may be used, and a predetermined announcement may be issued to notify the user.

In this case, for example, if the signal detected by the main body side sensor 3a is a buzzer, and if the signal detected by the target side sensor 3b is a chime, a buzzer sounds or the buzzer is used. It is also possible to announce “ball” instead of “strike” and announce “strike” instead of the chime. Needless to say, it is possible to make appropriate announcements corresponding to the level of the user.

In the first embodiment, an example in which the planar first and second conductive sheets 6 and 7 are used as the sensor has been described, but in the second embodiment shown in FIGS. Shows an example using a touch sensor 20 having an overall shape of a tape.

The touch sensor 20 is arranged between the exterior sheet materials 1a and 1b on both front and back surfaces via a predetermined spacer 21 having elasticity, as in the first embodiment. In this structure, flexible conductive plates 24 and 25 are arranged inside the tube-shaped outer skin 22 so as to face each other with predetermined spacers 23 on both sides in the longitudinal direction.

The conductive plates 24, 25 are formed by applying conductive parts 24a, 25a such as phosphor bronze or copper plating having a thickness of several microns to a base such as a polyester film. The conductive parts are arranged facing each other. It was set up. A protruding portion 26 is continuously formed along the center of one surface (upper surface) of the tubular outer skin 22.

Since the conductive plates 24 and 25 are arranged along the longitudinal direction of the touch sensor 20, the touch sensor 20 can be cut into a predetermined length for use, and the touch sensor 20 can be used in the areas of the main body 1 and the target 2, respectively. By arranging them separately, especially in the target portion 2, by arranging them in the vertical direction (vertical direction) of FIG. You can judge. In this case as well, it goes without saying that the priority circuit 11 works.

Furthermore, FIG. 7 shows a third embodiment. This third embodiment is substantially the same as that of the first embodiment in that it uses exterior sheet materials on both front and back surfaces, a cover sheet, and planar first and second conductive sheets. The structure is different in that the first and second conductive sheets 6 and 7 are not divided in the main body 1 and the target portion 2.

That is, the first conductive sheet 6 is provided with a large number of conductive lines 27 _{1 to} 27 n, and the second conductive sheet 7 is also provided with a large number of conductive lines 28 _{1 to} 28 n. The first and second conductive sheets 6 and 7 may be arranged so that these conductive wires form a matrix, and the porous insulating material 8 may be arranged between them.

With this structure, the target portion 2 is displayed on the exterior sheet material, and when the ball hits the target portion 2, the contact portion in the target portion area is turned on, and the target portion 2 is detached from the target portion and the book is removed. When the body part 1 is hit, the corresponding contact part is turned on and displayed, and when the contact part at the boundary between the target part 2 and the main body part 1 is turned on, the priority circuit 11 works to display. To do.

In particular, by arranging both conductive sheets 6 and 7 in a matrix, even when there is a difference in the score between the central part and the peripheral part inside the target, the contact part of the score area is different. When is turned on, the corresponding score can be displayed.

Further, in place of the matrix arrangement in the electrical contact portion, for example, one conductive sheet is provided with a large number of point-like contacts, and the target portion is specified at the arrangement position of the contacts. Moreover, the main body and the target can be formed in various shapes, which further improves the game playability. Even in the case of the dot-shaped contact part, the point that the insulating material is arranged between both conductive sheets is the same as in each of the above-mentioned embodiments, and the dot-shaped contact part is pressed by an external force or It conducts upon impact and outputs a predetermined signal.
