On the other hand, the lower frame 1b is formed with a battery housing portion 16 that opens downward, and a battery (not shown) can be put into and taken out from the lower side of the lower frame 1b in the battery housing portion 16. ing. The lower frame 1b is further provided with a number of bosses and the like for attaching various components.

A power transmission mechanism 22 for transmitting the rotational driving force of the motor 21 driven by the battery is attached to one of the pair of supports 14 (FIG. 4). The power transmission mechanism 22 transmits rotational power from a gear 21a attached to a motor shaft to the gears 22a, 22b, 22.
It transmits to case body 2 and handle 13 via c, 22d, 22e, and 22f, and case body 2 and handle 13
And the gears 22g in the middle of the gears 22g, 22g,
The rotation power is transmitted to 22h so that the switch mechanism, the bell sound generating mechanism, and the shutter operating mechanism of the ball projecting game device can be controlled. The control of these mechanisms is performed through a three-stage cam 31 formed coaxially with the gear 22h. The three-stage cam 31 is a cam 31 formed concentrically.
a, 31b, 31c, and the number of teeth of the gear is selected so that when the case body 2 makes three revolutions, the three-stage cam 31 makes one revolution.

A clutch 22i is provided in the middle of the gear train of the power transmission mechanism 22, and the clutch 22i prevents the motor 21 from being damaged due to mischief of a child.

(Configuration of Switch Mechanism) Next, the switch mechanism will be described. As shown in the equivalent circuit diagram of FIG. 5, the switch mechanism is configured to include two switches SW1 and SW2 arranged in parallel with the motor 21. The switch SW1 is turned on by pressing the start button 11 (FIGS. 1 and 2). That is, as shown in FIG. 6, when the start button 11 that is normally urged upward by the spring 11a is pressed, the upper switch of the switch SW1 is pressed by the pressing plate 11d attached to the shaft 11c of the start button 11. The piece 32a is brought into contact with the lower switch piece 32b, whereby the switch SW1 is turned on and the motor 21 is driven. The contact state between the upper switch piece 32a and the lower switch piece 32b of the switch SW1 is held by the first slide plate 33 attached to the lower frame 1b so as to reciprocate in the left-right direction. There is.

That is, as shown in FIG. 7, the spring 3
4 is urged toward the switch SW1 side, and
The first slide plate 33, which is in contact with the outermost cam 31a of the step cams 31, has a structure shown in FIGS.
As shown in, a claw portion 33a is attached to the end portion on the switch SW1 side. The claw portion 33a is configured such that the upper side thereof is a copying surface, and when the pressing plate 11d is lowered due to the pressing of the start button 11, the pressing plate 11d is claw portion 33a.
The copying surface of the claw portion 33a and the first claw portion 33a
The slide plate 33 moves against the urging force of the spring 34 to the left in FIG. 6, that is, in the direction away from the switch SW1. Then, when the start button 11 is further lowered and the pressing plate 11d is below the locking surface of the claw 33a, the claw 33a of the first slide plate 33 and the pressing plate 1 are moved.
The engagement with 1d is released, and the first slide plate 33 is returned to the original position by the action of the spring 34. As a result, the pressing plate 11d of the start button 11 is locked by the claw portion 33a of the first slide plate 33, and the upper switch piece 32a of the switch SW1 becomes lower switch piece 32a.
It is held in the state of being abutted on b.

The case body 2 must be rotated three times by operating the start button 11 once. Therefore, the motor 21 must be driven all the time, but since the first slide plate 33 also functions as a shutter lever operating mechanism, the switch 21 cannot hold the motor 21 in a driven state. Therefore, in the ball paying-out game device of the embodiment, as shown in FIG. 5, the switches SW1 and SW2 are provided in parallel with the motor 21.

That is, in order to operate the shutter operating mechanism, as described later, the first slide plate 33 moves in the direction away from the switch SW1 against the biasing force of the spring 34 by the rotation of the three-stage cam 31. However, since the engagement between the claw portion 33a and the pressing plate 11d is released in the middle, the switch SW1 is turned off. Therefore, the switch S
It is necessary to back up W1, and a switch SW2 is provided for that backup. The switch SW2 is engaged with the middle cam 31b of the three-stage cam 31. Then, by the rotation of the three-stage cam 31, the right switch piece 35a of the copying switch SW2 moves along with the cam 31b and comes into contact with the left switch piece 35b, and the switch SW1
Before the switch is turned off or the switch SW1 is turned off, the switch SW2 is turned on. The switch SW2 is turned off by the action of the cam 31b when the case body 2 makes three revolutions. That is, the copying surface of the cam 31b is configured so that the switch piece 35a can separate from the other switch piece 35b by its elasticity when the case body 2 makes three revolutions.

(Shutter Mechanism and Shutter Actuating Mechanism) The case body 2 can be divided into two hemispheres, and the case body 2 is provided with a ball insertion portion 2a and a ball ejection portion 4 as shown in FIG. ing. And, this ball projecting section 4 is shown in FIG.
The shutter mechanism 40 shown in FIGS. The shutter mechanism 40 has an opening 41 of almost the same diameter as the ball 3.
It is incorporated inside the ball throwing-out cylinder 41 in which a is formed. That is, a shutter lever 42 having an opening 42a having substantially the same diameter as the ball 3 is attached to the inside of the ball throwing-out cylinder 41. The shutter lever 42 has an opening 42a and an opening 41a of the ball throwing-out cylinder 41. Are biased by a spring 44 so that they do not match (see the longitudinal sectional view of FIG. 9 and the plan view of FIG. 10). Therefore, the shutter mechanism 40 prevents the balls 3 from falling off from the ball throwing unit 4 insignificantly. Further, inside the shutter lever 42, there is provided a ball receiving portion 43 that opens forward in the rotation direction of the case body 2. And
The ball receiving portion 43 can simultaneously catch two balls 3 as shown in FIG. 9 by rotating the case body 2. Therefore, the shutter lever 42 is in the open state,
That is, when the opening 42a and the opening 41a of the ball feeding cylinder 41 coincide with each other, there is a risk that the two balls 3 captured above will be discharged at the same time. A stopper 42b for restricting the discharge of the second ball 3 when the shutter lever 42 is opened is provided. In FIG. 8, reference numeral 41b is an opening into which the tip of the shutter lever 42 is inserted, and reference numeral 42c is a spring 44.
The projections for hanging are shown respectively.

On the other hand, on the base 1 side of the ball throwing game device,
A shutter operation mechanism 50 for operating the shutter mechanism 40 is provided. The shutter operating mechanism 50 includes a pin 51 that can be projected and retracted with respect to the upper surface of the base 1. As shown in FIG. 7, the pin 51 is attached to the lower side of the upper frame 1a by a pin attachment 52, but the pin 51 is normally urged downward by a spring 53, and the shutter lever is 42 is not in contact with. Then, immediately after the rotation of the case body 2 enters the third rotation, the pin 51 temporarily protrudes from the base 1 from the base 1 against the spring 53 and comes into contact with the shutter lever 42. It is like this.

That is, the first slide plate 33 is provided with a mountain-shaped cam 54 having the pin 51 as a follower. Immediately after the rotation of the case body 2 enters the third rotation, the first slide plate 33 is temporarily moved to the left side in FIG. 7 by the action of the cam 31a of the three-step cam 31, and the first slide is moved. The pin 51 is pushed out from the upper surface of the base 1 by the chevron cam 54 on the plate 33. As a result, the pin 51 temporarily engages with the shutter lever 42 immediately after entering the third rotation, whereby the shutter mechanism 40 is actuated (opened), and the opening 42a of the shutter lever 42 and the ball throwing-out cylinder 41. Match the opening 41a of the ball 3
Only one is discharged from the ball throwing unit 4. It should be noted that in the ball-out game device of the embodiment, the copying surface of the cam 31a is configured so that the first slider 33 can be returned to the original position by the action of the spring 34 immediately after the ball-out is completed.

(Bell Sound Generation Mechanism) A bell pushing member 64 is attached to the boss 71 of the lower frame 1b of the base 1 via a spring 63. On the other hand, the first
As shown in FIG. 7, a second slide plate 61 is independently provided on the slide plate 33 so as to reciprocate in the same direction. The second slide plate 61 is a spring 62.
7 is urged to the right in FIG. 7 and abuts on the innermost cam 31c of the three-stage cam 31. A locking pin 61a engageable with the spring 63 is provided on the second slide plate 61, and the spring 62 is deformed by the leftward movement of the second slide plate 61. By the force, the bell 5 can be struck when the second slide plate 61 returns to the original position. The timing at which the bell 5 rings is at the time of rolling out a ball. Therefore, the copying surface of the cam 31c, which uses the second slide plate 61 as a follower, is formed in a shape that can realize it.

Next, a playing method using the above-mentioned ball throwing game device will be described. For example, this ball throwing game device is used for a bingo game. When this ball throwing device is used in a bingo game, for example, 75 balls 3 with numbers 1 to 75 are put in the case body 2.

Then, the game progresser presses the start button 1
Press 1 to sequentially eject the balls 3 one by one from the ball ejecting unit 4, and the game progresser reads the numbers displayed on the ejected balls 3.

When a number corresponding to the read number is present on the game paper 80 (FIG. 11) of the player, the game player follows the creases on the tongue-shaped display portion 81 to which the number is attached. Turn up. Then, compete among the game players who can be aligned vertically, horizontally or diagonally.

In order to confirm the ejected balls 3, the game player uses the recording paper 90 shown in FIG. This recording paper 90 has a number 1 to 75 and a hole 91 for holding a ball in the number display portion so that the ball 3 can be held.

According to the ball throwing game device of the above-described embodiment, the shutter mechanism 40 is rotated after the case body rotates twice.
Since I tried to operate the shutter lever 41 of
Since the balls are sufficiently stirred and the time for rolling out the balls becomes long, the thrilling feeling at the time of rolling out the balls can be fully enjoyed.

Although the invention made by the present inventor has been specifically described based on the embodiments, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments, and various modifications can be made without departing from the scope of the invention. Needless to say.

For example, according to the rolling-out game device of the above-described embodiment, an example in which the rolling-out device is used for the bingo game has been described. However, the balls 3 are numbered from 1 to 6 and used as dice. It is also possible to use the ball 3 itself so that the ball 3 itself is hollow and dividable, and various characters are enclosed in the ball 3 itself, so that the ball dispensing game device itself can be used as a vending machine.
