Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention is an M-game device, particularly for use in the game play known as arm wrestling.

Traditional arm wrestling is a form of competition in which two players compete to see their strength. To play, two players sit on opposite sides of the table, facing each other, with the elbows of their competing arms on the table, their forearms facing the ground, and the hands of their competing arms grasping each other. At the starting signal, apply force to the competing arm and move the opponent's forearm from the -E position to the water position, where the opponent's hand touches the table.

In either competition, players use only their right arm or only their left arm, as agreed. In this explanation, the arm they use is called the competition arm, and the arm they don't use is called the empty arm.

The drawback of traditional arm wrestling is that satisfactory competition can only take place between players of similar strength, because in cases of unequal strength, the stronger player will always and always win. This is because it will be put away. Another drawback is that those who wish to compete in arm wrestling must find a partner to compete with.

It is an object of the present invention to overcome these and other drawbacks of traditional arm wrestling.

A device according to the invention includes a member for engaging the player's hands to produce a reaction, the reaction member being configured to follow a path similar to the path that the arm of a competitive player follows in conventional arm wrestling. It is possible to apply an appropriate force to said reaction member movable with respect to said or first player and to enable said player to participate. includes devices that apply force in competitions similar to arm wrestling.

One of the desirable forms of the play device includes, in addition to the first reaction member described above, a second reaction member that moves according to the path drawn by the hand of the second player participating in arm wrestling. During use, the movement of each connection member is induced by the complementary movement of another reaction member (and either player applies force to the reaction member he is handling). , Rui, so that another force of different strength
1) There is a bias device that can be adjusted so that players with unequal strength or different physiques can compete with substantially the same strength by transmitting it to the opponent's hand using a biasing member.

The coupling member is such that it directly couples the first and second reaction members, in which case the modification device may apply a pie-scar to the coupled reaction members, at least the force or size of the reaction member. Correct the difference. Optionally, the coupling device can be coupled to at least the biasing device and one reaction member can be coupled to the other reaction member.
It is operated through two single action members to provide mechanical attrition/traction. In either case, the /Xias device is another reaction member whose resulting force is dependent on the adjustment of the biasing device when a player applies a constant force to the reaction member he is holding. It is desirable to be able to adjust it in such a way that it is applied by /<The Ias device allows -1 players to
It is desirable to be able to adjust to zero set so that when a given force is applied to one reaction member, a turning force is applied to another reaction member. This allows the device to be additionally adjusted as appropriate for use by players of the same strength or fitness.

The preferred gaming device outlined in Section 2 can be used by the first and second players who wish to compete in phase J1. This is a suitable device for competing in two-player mode. However, such devices also allow a single player to compete without an opposing player. - In human mode, the device counteracts the forces exerted by the hands of one player during its use without the aid of other forces. If the device is used in a two-player mode, It is usually necessary for the biasing device to be able to apply a relatively large force to the reaction member used by the first player, since the biasing device alone, without assistance This is in contrast to using the device in a two-player mote.

- The force exerted by the human player is at least partly due to the force of the opponent player in the pool, so that the biasing device only needs to assist the weaker player. The biasing device may consist of a l-mechanism that can be used in two modes, but this is not a wooden thing; the biasing device can consist of one mechanism for the human mode and a separate two-person mode. It may consist of a mechanism.

A second preferred form of the M game device is one in which there is only one reaction member so that the biasing device can be operated to counteract the forces exerted by the player L during use without the aid of the bias device. This type of device is of course capable of being used in a two-person mode.

It is desirable that the biasing device be adjustable so that it can be used in different conditions by players of different strength and physical fitness. That way, in any competition between a human player and a device, it is possible to adjust the outcome so that it is not possible to predict which player will win if the player plays fairly. .

As the game progresses, the device according to the invention can be used in the hands of the first player or in a manner unforeseeable to the first player or both players, depending on the case of the game. It consists of a variable device that can be operated to vary the resistance applied to both players' hands. Without such a variable device, the competition would be boring or "dead", especially in the -man competition mode. However, the use of this variable device usually results in a much more lively appearance. When the device is used in two-player mode and the variable device is operated, predict what changes in the resistance that the co-player will also experience will be caused by the variable device or by the opposing player. I can't.

For any type of device capable of adjusting 90f, it is desirable to have a setting device to properly adjust the heias device before the start of the competition. The center location determines which sets are appropriate for competitive players (if the device is used in a two-player mote) and which sets are appropriate for competitive players (if the device is used in a two-player mote). When used in two-person mode, it is preferable that the device be combined with an indicating device that gives an instruction such as ). For example, the indicating device may provide information as to which cents are appropriate according to one or more of the player's attributes, such as gender, weight, age, etc.

The apparatus may additionally or alternatively include a signaling device that indicates a signal when a particular stage of the game is reached and another signal when another stage of the game is reached. A signaling device is one that can be operated to indicate one or more signals according to the stage of the competition, e.g. if the player needs to apply force to start the competition, then either the player or the device wins. If so, or J! ! 2 If either the player or the device wins. Additionally or alternatively, the signaling device indicates the number of wins of the 1M player and the device (in the case of -man motes) of each of the player's wins in the following 8 branches or sets of competitions. (in case of two-player mode).

One of the problems that arises in traditional arm wrestling is that moving from an agreed upon position during the course of a contest often results in an unfair victory for the player.

It is therefore necessary that the ML player positions remain at the initially agreed upon positions throughout the course of the competition. In particular, players must not stand from their seats while the competition is in progress, must not move their competing arms away from the table, and must not interfere with the progress of the competition with their free arms. 7 is common. In order to overcome or reduce such problems, when a player is in a suitable playing position, the player can use the command ``I can do it! It is desirable to provide a sensing device that responds to the player's movements in one or more of the following ways: from the seat. Standing, lifting the elbow from a defined position, and moving the free arm from a defined position.

The biasing device consists of a motor and a clutch coupled to the motor that transmits torque from the motor. Preferably, the or each reaction member follows a path in the form of a portion of an arc. Preferably, the booster member or each reaction member further comprises a handle mounted for rotation about an axis transverse to the arm.

The device depicted in FIG. 1 consists of a casing 1 of solid metal, cylindrical in shape, with its axis perpendicular. The lower part of the casing is not drawn for clarity.

The upper part 3 of the casing forms a semicircular inclined display surface. Four wooden feet 5 project radially from the bottom of the casing to stabilize the device during use. The pivot axis 6 is 2
It protrudes upward from the outer end of the book leg 5, bends as it extends outward and outward, and allows the viewer to see the bracket 7, which rotates with force. Each bracket 7 supports a seat 8, which at the same time is also supported by a ground support 9 extending vertically downward from its center. This arrangement allows each seat to pivot in an arc around the axis of the pivot shaft 6, thereby making it possible to change its position relative to the casing 1. At its outer end is arm 10, which supports the adjustment 'of Nozomi's elbow. Adjacent to the arms IO are a pair of arms 12 that protrude from the casing 1 and support the player's free arms at their outer ends. Parallel to or higher than the arm lO is a tube extension L5 14 which projects from the casing. Operating arms 15 extend upwardly from the projecting portion of extension 14, each operating arm supporting at its upper end an outwardly sloping handle 16 forming a reaction member. shows the operating mechanism included in the casing l. Built into the casing is a horizontal support frame 17 in the form of a cross made of square meter tubes and firmly fixed to the casing. Bracket 1
8 hangs from the frame 17 and supports a reversible motor 19 at its lower part. The output shaft of the motor rotates about a vertical axis and is connected to a reduction gear having a horizontal output shaft that is connected to the input shaft of clutch 20. clutch 2
0 also represents an output shaft coaxial with the human power shaft and connected to the pulley 21. The arrangement is such that the degree or extent of coupling between the input and output of the clutch varies. The clutch may be of any suitable construction, such as a fluid coupling. However, clutch 20 is a magnetic clutch of the well known type. It consists of a fixed annular outer casing containing a stator consisting of electromagnets that generates an axial magnetic field using direct current;
Inside and coaxially with the stator is a rotating core, which is combined with permanent magnets and is directly connected to the output shaft of the reduction gear driven by the motor 19. Similarly, a ferromagnetic disk is disposed inside the stator and is rotatable coaxially with the stator and the core, and is connected to a pulley 21. The disk is normally axially urged away from the core by a spring device. However, while a suitable current is flowing through the fixed A, the magnetic field acts to be attracted to the disk or core through the core and the disk, and is in contact with the friction 4. As the current increases, the frictional contact also increases. Thus, in the normal case, when the motor rotates at a constant speed, torque is transmitted to the pulley, and f! between the core and the disc °! I: Rotation is transmitted to the pulley 21 through frictional contact, and it flows through the stator j4
i 1R, depends on.

This torque causes the handle 16 to start moving.

The belt 22 rotates and passes the pulley wheel 21, and at the same time rotates and passes the pulley wheel 23. The pulley wheel 23 has a larger diameter than the pulley wheel 21 and is fixed to the main shaft, the main shaft 11 having the reference number 24. The main shaft 24 rotates on a hair ring 25 with a gap between them, and is fixed to the upper end of a square tubular pillar.
The lower part of the frame 17 is installed in the frame 17.

The inner end of the arm lO extends through an aperture in the lower part 2 of the casing and through a kite 27 attached to the bracket 17. Each arm lO supports a pin 28 at its inner end so that it cannot be pulled out of the guide connected to it. Nevertheless, each arm lO is free to be pushed axially inward to the extent of its extension through its guide. Furthermore, each arm lO is capable of tilting movements in a vertical plane, although each is limited. It is attached to the end of this or to the kite. Near the outer end of each guide and under its connecting arm 10 there is a strong leaf spring 29 fixed under the guide.

This lifts the arm upward and away from the microswitch 30. The downward pressure is on either one of the elbow rests 11.
When it is applied, the spring 29 connected thereto acts and the microswitch 30 is activated.

The armrest 11 shown in FIG. 2 is mounted on the arm connected to it so that its position can be adjusted downward by rotation. The arm rest is axially fixed to the upper end of the middle screw, the lower part of which is screwed into a nut fixed to a sleeve 31 just outside the arm 10. In the repair arrangement shown in FIG. 1, the sleeve 31 is replaced by an upwardly curved end portion of the arm 10.

The inner end portion of the arm 12 also extends through the aperture into the lower part 2 of the casing and is contained within the housing 32. A vertical pivot pin 33 extends vertically through each housing 32 and the arm connection therein. In this manner, each of the arms 12 projects horizontally while being constrained by the vertical stop pin 34 adjacent to the horizontal pivot pin 33 connected to the arm.

Handle 13 and handle 16 each have an electrical switch 35 operated by a simple button. Each switch is pressed by a spring to the OFF position Z, but when M Prefecture's hand grasps the handle or handle connected to the button, the switch is pushed (;I) into the ON position by the finger.Micro Switch 30 and switch 35 together constitute a detection device.Furthermore, each seat 8 is connected to an electrical switch (not shown) which is turned off when no one is seated, but when no one is seated. The switch is turned on when the user sits on the seat.Such a seat switch also constitutes a part of the detection device.It is connected to a trunking device (not shown) or to the main shaft 24, and is connected to the main shaft 24 to detect the position of the main shaft 24. For example, a trunking device consists of a variable resistor connected to rotate with the main shaft.However, a trunking device consists of an actuating pin that projects radially from the main shaft. Preferably, three microswitches are mounted in fixed positions around the axis. Each microswitch has an actuating element in the path of its actuating pin. If the actuating pin presses against the actuating element of one microswitch, if the arm extends horizontally to one side of the device, then the pin presses the second actuating element, and if the arm extends horizontally to one side of the device Arrange it so that if it stretches, the pin or third actuating element can be pushed.

Each display surface 4 of the casing has a panel supporting a cent device and a signaling device as shown in Figure i5. The cent device consists of the following contact switches: 37.--It is operated when a competition is held by M players. 38. Operated when a competition is held between two M players. 39
Operated if Yugi Nagisa is a man. 40. Operated when the M player is a mulberry. 41, operated when weight increase is indicated by numerical display (described below).

42. Operated when weight loss is displayed numerically. The center device is also connected to the d' display in conjunction with the contact switches 37-42 with a number display. When any of the switches is actuated, it receives illumination from behind forming part of the display. The signaling device consists of a panel as described below which receives illumination in the circumstances described below. 4
3. If the control arm 15 is vertical and the competition is about to go haywire. 44. Competition in progress. 45. If the player wins.

46. If the player loses. In case of 47 seat swift or off. 48. When the micro switch 29 is off (
The M player's elbows are sore). 49. If the M player's empty arm fails to operate the swift 34 connected to the handle 13 6
50. If the player fails to operate the switch 34 connected to the handwheel 16 with his or her playing arm. As mentioned above, the display device initially displays a number table indicating the lower weight>1<5
Also includes 1. The number display consists of a liquid crystal display. When the contact switch 41 is operated, the weight is displayed on the display 51 so as to gradually increase until the contact switch 41 is released. Similarly, when the touch switch 41 is operated, the weight is displayed as gradually decreasing until the touch switch 41 is released. The information for each Pama Ru is ml on that panel.
Player 1 using sheet 8 is converted.

This device also includes a microprocessor, which is connected to the ROM to operate the clutch 20, and the signal device responds to a 4:7 ratio between the detection device and the torque/kink device Seriton 2 position.

If the device is used 5 by two M players, each player occupies two seats 8 respectively.

To sit down 11j, the players decide whether to use their right or left hand, move the seat to an a fft position, and adjust the height of the seat. Then the locksmith sat down.

Either that (one of the players switches to the "left" or "r" stone corresponding to the determined competitive arm (not shown))
operate. The M player further operates a suitable one of the touch switch 38 and the touch switch 39 and 40.

M! ! The weight of each player is also displayed on the number display 51 in such a way that the weight of each player is indicated on the number display 51.

Displays weight in units such as stones, pounds, and kilograms. The displayed weight has a northern limit and a 1.yang limit. For example, one body weight is 7 to 14 stone (i.e. 98 to 196 pounds/11, or 44.5 to 89 pounds).
kilogram). Players whose weight falls outside this range will select a value close to within the limit.

Each player then places the elbow of his competing arm on the adjacent elbow, 11 (adjusting its vertical position to the length of the ML player's forearm, if necessary) and the adjacent handle 1.

Not done. However, even in that case, it is appropriate to return to /\iast torque. This torque is provided by motor 19 by operating clutch 20, pulleys 21 and 23, and belt 22. The arrangement is preferably one mulberry cropped to increase the high gamma stress to progressively approach the average value of the flannel or loess. This is because, according to this method, no sudden force is applied to the player's hair.

The direction of rotation in which torque is used is reversed when the direction of rotation of the motor is reversed. Throughout the competition, the direction of rotation of the motor and the forces flowing to the flange (upstream forces and forces acting on the handle 16 and direction of rotation thereof) are determined by the microprosensor.

This device uses 1 yen in a way that changes the force to at least the amount of force that can be seen by the player or gamma, in addition to the case where the normal force is applied. The bias is manipulated randomly or at least in a manner that is sufficiently variable to be unforeseeable by the player. The effect of these friction or torque biases is generally a change in the reaction force from an opponent's force or from a device that is transmitted to the player's hand? It is impossible to predict. Repulsion is performed by changing the ik flow flowing through the flange 20. The appropriate pattern of % 1i changes is generated by a microprocessor, which may be programmed into ROM or may be random.

The rotational position or angle of the main shaft 24 during the competition also changes in seven positions to favor either the player or the other player. The trunking device is such that a change in position changes the cent and changes the electrical characteristics of the trunking device. This information is fed into the microprocessor. The program in the microprocessor section uses this measured information to change the bias torque to make the competition more enjoyable.

For example, if a player is about to win too quickly, the force increases and counteracts the player's power for a while, or resists it with a stronger force. However - in the above adjustment, the dragging device consists of three microswitches, and the information fed to the macropro sensor is whether the arm is vertical (or substantially vertical), ) I:, , +; Only. Therefore,
It is not possible to change the bias torque due to the IVi inclination of the arm.

The fact that a certain player wins is due to operating skill 1.
5 or a substantially horizontal position, which is detected by the trunking device. When the winning position is reached, the panel 45 lights up and the player is turned up/-1. On the name change side, the panel 46 lights up. The competition is now over.

During the competition, one of the players selects one of the four switches (Geat Switch, 2 Micro Switches 3).

) or emit light. This device will not be used during the following competitions.
)? It is operated by displaying on the panel that it has been received.

The case of using this device in a two-person mote has already been described. When the device is used in human mode, the player operates the center device roughly in forward and backward directions, or operates the touch switch 37 instead of the touch switch 38. By doing so, the microprocessor supplies the spindle 24 with an average bias voltage appropriate for the gender and weight of the player throughout the competition. The above-mentioned torque fluctuations and changes can also be observed when using the 2-person mode.

In use, in either mode, the microprocessor acts to prevent sudden and dramatic changes in the arm, which may occur, for example, in the event of an injury.

Various modifications and additions may be made to this device. For example, you need to insert a coin before use. It is also possible to combine the image signal by adding the sound of the sound πt) shi・shin-). For example, if the detection device detects that a player has moved from a fixed position during a competition,
Believe it or not it will look small. That's how it is. Alternatively or additionally, an audio signal may be indicated when a player has won or is about to win.

The device, in solo mode, must be able to easily impart to the spindle the patterns of fluctuations or changes in spindle 24 and turns used by famous arm-wrestlers and players who have won this competition. And touch switches 39, 40, 41 and 42 can be used to modify the pattern in response to changes in the set so that any Mg2 player can have a reasonable and fun competition even if they use that function. It is required that

Other forms related to the present invention! The device is similar to f1 in the form described above, but it is used only in -person mode. It therefore lacks the operating arm 15 and in this connection the seat 8. The arm IO1 elbow rest 11, arm 12, and handle 13 are also missing, and there is only one operation panel. In order to avoid tedium when competing with such equipment, it is desirable to be equipped with a variable device of the type mentioned above.

Both of the devices described above are also equipped with a microprocessor to control the device. For less complex devices, the microprocessor may be omitted, or the functions may be operated by suitable logic circuits with closed-state electronics.

Preferably, the device includes a locking device that activates the reaction member when no competition is taking place. It is also desirable for long devices to operate even when no input is applied to the device. The tonk device consists of an electromagnetic clamp that is inoperable by electric current during the competition, but otherwise operable by a spring load, thereby ensuring rotation of the main shaft. For example, if the main shaft is rotating and the operating arm is vertical or horizontal as a result, the main shaft is lengthened.

If desired, the apparatus of embodiments of the invention may be equipped with a printer or an attachment for printing out information on the apparatus.

For example, you can enter the name of the M player or yourself using the keyboard,
The printer can also issue a printed slip of paper with the details printed after the competition, including your name. This includes the weight of the player, the date and time of the competition, the result of the competition, and the duration of the competition. If the microprocessor is built in, the information written on the piece of paper is extracted from it. All of the above devices are powered and controlled by battery devices. This is not essential and the function can be performed in a modified arrangement with mechanical, hydraulic, pneumatic or other f-stages. For example, if a logic circuit is used instead of a microprocessor sensor, a pneumatic or hydraulic system can be used, and the switches related thereto can be pneumatic or hydraulic components such as circuits. The trunking device changes to Chi JIZ and loin,
The atmospheric pressure changes according to the rotational position of the main shaft 24. The trunking device can optionally replace the bellows with a piston-cylinder unit. Similarly electric motor 19
can be replaced by a pneumatic or hydraulic motor, the torque of which is transmitted to 1 24 (or equivalent) by means of a piston-silling unit.

If the device uses compressed air, it can be drawn from an air compressor or near compressor. The compressor may be built into the device or installed in another location.
It will be done. In the latter case, the atmosphere is J! Supplied by suitable piping. Similarly, if the device utilizes a liquid, it may be supplied under pressure from some other external source of power. However, this runs the risk of being connected to the power hydraulic pump inside the device.
