Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] The present invention relates to the structure of a portable game device for games that use a game board, such as kaiki or shogi.

Games played on a board made up of squares, such as Soki or Shogi, are usually played on a board made of water or synthetic resin, using pieces made of the same material.

however,. With this kind of game equipment made of such materials, there is a risk that the pieces on the board may move due to slight vibrations, making it impossible to play the above games in a car or the like during a vacation.

Focusing on this inconvenience, by forming the board from a magnetic material and the pieces from a magnetic material, the pieces can be magnetized at fixed positions on the board, making it portable and convenient for use in cars, etc. Now, gaming equipment has appeared that allows players to play the game anywhere in the world.

However, in this type of game equipment that simply uses magnetic materials, the pieces are placed and moved using fingers, so the pieces themselves are so small that it is inconvenient to pick them up with fingers. Therefore, the miniaturization of the game equipment itself is naturally limited.For example, although it is possible to make a game equipment that can be carried in a pocket, it is extremely small in diameter and has magnetic pieces placed on it. Since it is impossible to move and play games, it has been impossible to create small-sized game equipment.

In this invention, when placing and moving the pieces, special equipment is used to make it possible to place and move the pieces on the board no matter how small the diameter. To provide a portable game equipment structure for a game using a game board, which allows the entire equipment to be miniaturized and can be carried by putting it in a pocket of clothes or the like.

The configuration of the present invention consists of a game board that is magnetic and has squares drawn on it for games such as chess and shogi, pieces that are made of a magnetic material used in the game, and pieces that are attached to one end of a cylindrical body. A tip cap having a through hole is fitted into the cylindrical body, and a core body having a magnetic body stronger than the game board at one end and a pressing portion at the other end is housed in the cylinder body. The game is characterized by comprising a piece mover which is biased in the direction of the pressing part by a spring and is capable of protruding a magnet body so that the magnet body projects from the end of the through hole when the pressing part is pressed. The present invention relates to a portable game device for playing games using a board, and will be described below according to an embodiment shown in the drawings.

In FIG. 1, reference numeral 1 denotes a game board, and in this embodiment, it is a game board for a surrounding base, and has a diameter that is large enough to be carried in a pocket, etc., and the game board is made of a magnetic body, for example, a magnetic sheet. It is formed.

2 is a square drawn on the game board, and as described above, in this embodiment, it is designed to be used as a surrounding base.

3 is a Go stone, which is made of a magnetic material formed by mixing iron powder into a synthetic resin, and is magnetically attached to a non-square portion of the game board 1.

2A and 2B show an embodiment of a piece moving device for placing the Go stones 3 of the game board 1 shown in FIG. 1 on the game board 1, . . . JZ.

In FIGS. 2A and 2B, 4 is a cylindrical body, which has a diameter comparable to that of a normal writing instrument, and in this embodiment, an aluminum pipe is used.

5 is a tip cap fitted to one end of the cylindrical body 4;
It has a through hole 6 into which a core body (to be described later) is inserted, and a washer 7 is installed on the cylindrical side of the through hole 6.

Reference numeral 8 denotes a core body, which has a pressing part 9 at one end and a magnet 10 having stronger magnetism than the game board 1 at the other end, and its total length is determined by pressing the pressing part 9. The length of the magnet body 10 is such that the magnet body 10 protrudes from the end of the tip cap 5.

A coil spring 11 is located in the cylindrical body 4 between the washer 7 and a protrusion provided in the middle of the core 8, and presses the core 8 in the direction opposite to the light end.

Reference numeral 13 designates an end cap fitted to the other end of the cylindrical body 4, and has a through hole 14 opened in the center thereof into which the pressing portion 9 of the core body 8 is inserted.

The end cap 13 has a protrusion 15 formed at the inner end of the suppressing portion in contact with the inner end thereof, so that
It is positioned at a fixed position with respect to the core body 8 which is compressed by the spring 11.

FIG. 3 shows another embodiment of the game board 1, which is used as a base practice tool.

That is, the game board 1 is foldable, squares 2 and Go stones 3 are provided on the inner surface of one side, and a set of questions is placed in a card format on the inner surface of the other side, into which the question cards 17 can be inserted.

When using this embodiment with the above configuration as a starting practice tool for one person, hold the game board in one hand, hold the piece moving tool 16 according to the above configuration in the other hand, and move the pieces with your thumb. When the pressing portion 9 of the tool 16 is pressed, the magnet 10 protrudes from the end of the through hole of the tip cap 5.

Next, when the end face of the protruding magnet 10 comes into contact with the Go stones 3 that are magnetically attached to the game board 1, the Go stones 3 are magnetically attached to the magnet 10 that has stronger magnetism than the game board 1. You can move Go stone 3.

Furthermore, when placing a go stone on the square 2, the base stone 3 is magnetically attached to the magnet body 10, and the go stone 10 is brought into contact with the square 2 to be placed, and the thumb on the pressing part 9 is pressed. let go

Then, due to the elasticity of the coil spring 11, the core body 8 moves toward the end cap 13, and the magnet 10 returns to the through hole 6, and the Go stones 3 that were magnetically attached to the magnet 10 are left behind at the tip of the tip cap 5. It is possible to lose the magnetic force from the magnet 10 and conversely receive the magnetic force from the game board 1, so that it can be magnetically attached to the corresponding square, and it is also possible to move the Go stones from one square to another. This can be done by the same operation as above.

Furthermore, in the embodiment shown in Fig. 3, if the Tsumego problem set is made into a card format and is attached to one side of the board in a removable manner, it is possible to practice the basics while standing in a commuter car, for example. .

In the explanation of the present invention, the practice tool for Iki was shown as an example, but it can also be used as a practice tool for shogi and other things, and it can also be used as a practice tool for shogi and other games. It is also possible for each person to have one and play games with it.

As explained above, in the past, there was a certain limit to the miniaturization of portable game equipment for games using game boards due to the condition that the pieces used must be able to be manipulated. In this invention, the pieces are moved by using a special piece moving device for this purpose, so the pieces can be made infinitely smaller, and the entire game equipment including the game board can be reduced in size. A practice tool for games using a game board, which can be miniaturized and carried in the pocket of clothes, etc., and can be used to practice hoki even while standing, such as in a commuting car. It can be effectively used as a.
