Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] The present invention relates to a game board on which board games can be played, and more particularly to a folding game board that allows the board to be easily unfolded and folded for storage.

Traditionally, game boards commonly used for board games include:
It consisted of a foldable game board connected via hinges or thin film hinges, and the game board was housed in a separate game to make it portable.

However, when playing a game with such a game board, two operations are required: taking out the game board from the case and unfolding the game board, which has been folded in two, into a single board. Therefore, there was a problem that handling was complicated.

Also, when the game progresses, the unused case gets in the way,
There was also a risk of losing it.

The present invention was made in view of the conventional situation, and by integrating the game board with the case so that it can be unfolded and folded, it is easy to unfold and store the game board. To provide a folding game board which can securely maintain the unfolded state.

An embodiment of the present invention will be described below based on the drawings.

In FIGS. 1 to 4, reference numeral 1 denotes a folding game board, and the game board is integrated with the case in a state where it can be unfolded and folded and stored.

Reference numeral 2 denotes a rectangular plate-shaped base, and a rectangular plate-shaped folding board 3 is folded in close contact with the base 2 and unfolded on the same plane as the base 2. It is connected to a base 2 via a shaft 4 and plate springs 5, 6 to form a game board.

The plate spring 5 has one end locked to the folding shaft 4 and the other end fixed to the end of the base 2, and the plate spring 6 has one end locked to the folding shaft 4 and the other end are fixed to the ends of the folding board 3, and urge the base 2 and the folding board 3 in the unfolding direction, respectively.

Reference numerals 7 and 8 denote a box body 7 and a lid body 8, which are shaped like opposing boxes and have flanges erected around the entire periphery of a rectangular plate, and are brought into contact with each other with the flanges facing each other, and are connected by screws 9 By doing so, a container is constructed in which the base 2 and the folding board 3 are stored in a folded state.

The box body 7 and the lid body 8 have a plate hole 10 formed on one side thereof through which the folded base 2 and the folding plate 3 enter and exit.

Further, guides 11 and 12 having parallel surfaces are arranged on the inner surfaces of the box body 7 and the lid body 8 so that the base plate 2 and the folding board 3 can slide in a folded state. .

Reference numeral 13 denotes a button hole bored in the side surface of the container opposite to the plate hole 10, and a substantially rectangular plate-shaped button 14 is attached to the container so as to slide inside the button hole 13.

A locking groove 14a is formed in the inner end of the container of the button 14, and a lever 15 has one end locked in the locking groove 14a.
The levers 16 have one end locked to a locking piece 2a provided at the end of the base 2, and the other end of each of the levers 16 is fixed to a lever shaft 17 rotatably provided on the lid 8, The base 2 and the button 14 are removably connected via levers 15, 16 and a lever shaft 17, and the base 7 and the button 14 are connected by the button 14, the levers 15, 16, the lever shaft 17, and the locking piece 2a. It has a locking member that locks the container.

Reference numeral 18 denotes an extrusion spring mounted between the end surface of the base 2 inside the container and the inner surface of the box 7 so as to bias the base 2 toward the outside of the container.

Further, reference numeral 19 denotes a locking spring elastically mounted between the lever 16 and the box body 7 so as to balance the elastic force of the extrusion spring 18.

Incidentally, reference numeral 2b is a locking portion formed by widening the end portion of the base plate 2 so as to lock integrally with the box body 7 when the game board is unfolded.

Next, how to use the present invention will be explained.

First, when using the game board, the lever 15 is rotated about the lever shaft 17 by pressing the button 14, thereby disengaging the lever 16 from the locking piece 2a.

As shown in FIG.
The folding board 3 becomes free as the vertical restriction is removed, and the folding board 3 rotates via the folding shaft 4 due to the elastic force of the plate springs 5 and 6, and the top surface of the base 2 is rotated. and the upper surface of the folding board 3 are aligned and unfolded on the same plane.

At this time, the locking portion 2b of the base 2 is locked to the box body 7, and the base 2 is integrally connected to the container.

In this way, the top surface of the base 2 and the top surface of the folding board 3 form a game board surface, and various board games can be played using the game board surface.

Also, when the game is over, fold the folding board 3 and
Insert into the container through the plate hole 10 together with the base 2, and insert the guide 11 into the container.
, 12, the locking piece 2a and the lever 16 are locked, and the base 2 and the folding board 3 are stored in the container in a folded state.

This results in a game board packaged in a container that is small, lightweight, and convenient to carry.

In the present invention, the springs that urge the base 2 and the folding board 3 are not limited to the plate springs 5 and 6 of the above embodiment, but may be helical springs or other springs.

In addition, an extrusion spring 18 that biases the base 2 toward the outside of the container, and a locking spring 19 that is elastically loaded between the lever 16 and the box body 7,
The spring is not limited to the helical spring of the above embodiment, and may be a leaf spring or other spring.

FIG. 6 shows a different embodiment of the present invention, in which the locking member has one end engaged with the locking piece 2a and the other end locked with the lid 8, unlike the above embodiment. It is constituted by a locking rod 21.

This locking rod 21 has a knob 21a having two enlarged diameter flanges spaced apart from each other at a predetermined distance on the outside of the lid 8 at the end, and a ring-shaped spring at the middle part inside the container. seat 2
1b is locked and is attached to the lid 8 by being biased by a locking spring 22 elastically mounted on the spring seat 21b and the inner surface of the lid 8.

When in use, the knob 21 a of the locking rod 21 is
By pulling up, the engagement between the locking rod 21 and the locking piece 2a is disengaged, and the game board slides out of the container by the elastic force of the extrusion spring 18, and is unfolded into a single plate.

It should be noted that the present invention is not limited to the above-mentioned embodiments, but may also be structured to utilize the elasticity of the integrated resin to function during folding and storage of the game board and during extrusion and exhibition.

Since the present invention is constructed as described above, the game board can be taken out and unfolded from the container simply by operating the locking member, so there is an advantage that the game board can be easily taken out and unfolded.

Furthermore, since the base and the folding board are integrally connected to the case, the case does not get in the way and there is no risk of it being lost.

Furthermore, after the game is over, the folding board is folded and stored in a container together with the base, which has excellent practical effects in that it is small, lightweight, convenient to carry, and easy to handle.
