Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] The present invention relates to a portable game board that can be easily assembled and played at any location.

Conventionally, this kind of game board uses the inside of the case as a game board, and the outside of the case is used as a game board where multiple pieces stored in the case are arranged on the game board and the pieces are moved. A game board is also known in which operating members housed in a case are arranged on the game board surface to play sports competitions.

However, since the former uses the inner surface of the case as a game board, a smooth, flat board cannot be obtained, and the players themselves move the pieces to play.

On the other hand, since the latter uses the outer surface of the case, a smooth and flat board surface was obtained, but the player still operated the operating members.

Therefore, both of them did not satisfy the conventionally required action characteristics.

The present invention was devised to satisfy the above requirements, and is a game in which the moving objects themselves run on their own within a limited range of the game board surface, and the moving objects move well on the board surface or The purpose is to provide a game board rich in action that can give thrills and varied fun to the players by falling off the board.

The feature of this invention is that it is a portable polling game board consisting of a case body, a removable auxiliary case, and a ball that runs on the game board. It is powerful and has a handle,
When unfolded, they form the same plane.

The auxiliary case is housed within the case, is connected in the longitudinal direction of the unfolded case to form a series of identical planes, and has pins that can be raised and lowered.

The ball is also housed in a case, has a built-in mainspring unit as a power source, has legs connected to the mainspring unit, and uses the legs to land on the ground and stand up.

In this game board, the case is unfolded, and an auxiliary case is connected in the longitudinal direction to form a series of lanes made of the same plane, on which the leg of the ball stands, and the ball is pushed to the pin by the operation of the mainspring unit. The game is played by moving the object toward the object.

Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described based on the drawings.

FIG. 1 shows the appearance of a case body 1 according to the present invention.

FIG. 2 shows the outer surface of the case body 1 when it is unfolded, and FIG. 3 shows the inner surface when the auxiliary case and the ball are housed.

In this way, the case main body 1 is formed from a pair of case housings 2A and 2B which are divided into two halves, and the lower parts of the two halves overlapped symmetrically are connected by the shaft 3 so as to be freely openable and closable.

Therefore, when the case main body 1 is expanded 180 degrees with the case housings 2A and 2B opened on both sides, the front and rear outer surfaces 4A and 4B of the case 1 form a series of planes as shown in FIG.

A pattern reminiscent of a polling alley lane is displayed on the outer surfaces 4A and 4B.

As shown in FIG. 3, the pair of case casings 2A and 2B are box-shaped with approximately equal wall thickness, and each has a handle 5A integrally formed in the shape of two equal parts at the tip.

It has 5B.

Furthermore, the pair of case casings 2A and 2B have a pair of locking pieces 6A and 6B that engage with each other at corresponding positions, and the engagement of both allows the case body 1 to be in the closed state (Fig. 1). It is meant to be retained.

In the figure, reference numerals 7 and 7 denote leg pieces, which are formed so that each unfolded case casing 2A, 2B remains at the same level as the boss portions 8, 8 through which the shaft 3 passes.

Next, the auxiliary case 9 is stored in one case housing 2B in an upside down state as shown in FIG.

This auxiliary case 9 is composed of an outer case 9a and an inner case 9b housed therein, both of which have set screws 10, 10...
The inner case 9b is configured to be slidable within the range of elongated holes 11, 11, . . . provided in the longitudinal direction.

Inner case 9b is constantly pushed in the direction of arrow a by a spring (not shown) installed in outer case 9a.

The inner case 9b can overcome the force of the spring and slide in the direction of the arrow a through the projections 12.12 on both sides thereof.

The inner case 9b has a recess 13 that accommodates a ball, which will be described later.

In addition, the inner case 9b is connected to the case housing 2B (as shown in FIG. 4).
or 2A), a stepped portion 14 that holds the handle 5B (or 5A)
．． 14 and protrusions 15 and 15, and the case housing 2B (or 2A) is stabilized in the longitudinal direction by a method in which the handle 5B (or 5A) is held between the stepped portion 14 and the protrusion 15 as shown in FIG. can be connected to.

On the other hand, the outer case 9a has, on its surface side, plate-like movable pins 16 imitating zero bowling pins, as shown in FIG.

These pins 16 are arranged in an inverted triangular shape from the front side in the direction of movement of the ball, and so that the front and rear pins interfere with each other and fall down.

The pins 16... are connected to the shaft 16 at the base end as shown in FIG.
A bearing protrusion 17.17 protruding from the inner surface of the outer case 9a
The rib 18 of the inner case 9b
It is supported by the upper edge of the bearing protrusion 17.17 so as not to fall out.

The base end of the pin 16 is bent at a right angle to form a cam follower 16b.
, and is configured to come into contact with the protrusion 19 of the inner case 9b.

In other words, when the pins 16... fall down, if the inner case 9b is slid a certain stroke in the direction of the arrow a,
The cam follower 17 and the protrusion 19 come into contact and the pin 16...
・Can stand up.

In FIG. 6, 20 is a recess formed in the top surface of the outer case 9a to have the same shape as the pin 16 and a depth equal to the thickness of the pin 16 in order to store the fallen pin 16 at the same level as the top surface of the outer case 9a. It is.

On the upper surface of the outer case 9a, as shown in FIG. 5, a pattern reminiscent of the lanes of a polling field is displayed in series with those of the case casings 2A and 2B.

Next, the ball 21 is placed in the recess 13 of the auxiliary case 9 and stored in the case 1.

This ball 21 has a built-in mainspring unit 22 as shown in FIGS. 7A and 7B, and a leg 23 connected to the mainspring unit 22 protrudes outside the ball, and the flat lower surface of the leg 23 is used to connect the case 1. It is designed to stand on a floor surface formed by surfaces 4A and 4B.

The mainspring unit 22 includes a mainspring spring as a power source that is wound around a knob 24 of a shaft 24a that protrudes laterally outside the ball, a governor that takes out the energy stored in the mainspring spring at a constant rate, and a gear train as a rotation transmission mechanism. It is built into a closed unit frame and has a cam plate 25 attached to one output shaft.

The mainspring unit 22 is swingably supported by a support portion 26.26 fixed within the ball 21, with the shaft 24a of the knob 24 below its center of gravity.

The leg portion 23 has a shape similar to the instep of the foot, and the ball 21
It has a flat lower surface that is wide enough to prevent it from falling over, and its vertical parts 23a, 23a are connected to the shaft 24 of the mainspring unit 22.
It is rotatably connected by a pin 27 at a position below a.

The eccentric pin 30 of the cam plate 25 is engaged with a U-shaped cam groove 29 of a cam follower 28 formed integrally with one vertical portion 23a.

Reference numeral 31 in FIG. 7A is a restoring spring that always applies a clockwise rotational moment to the mainspring unit 22, and the other end is connected to the ball 21.

The centers of gravity of the ball 21 and the mainspring unit 22 are configured to be slightly eccentric to the front in the direction of movement of the ball relative to the position of the pin 27 that connects the mainspring unit 22 and the leg portion 23.

Therefore, when the mainspring unit 22 is activated and the cam plate 25 rotates in a certain direction at a predetermined speed, the backlash between the eccentric pin 30 and the cam groove 29 is eliminated by the action of the restoring spring 31 that urges the mainspring unit 22. While doing so,
Cam follower 28 and legs 23 in a relatively stationary state
The waist spring unit 22 and the ball 21 are connected to the pin 2
The cam plate 25 swings in the left-right direction in FIG. 7A with a period proportional to the rotational speed of the cam plate 25 about 7 as the center.

As a reaction, the leg portion 23 also vibrates little by little.

At this time, the center of gravity of the hole 21 and the mainspring unit 22 is located to the right in FIG. The legs 23 move forward little by little while making small jumps on a plane.

When this is placed on the flat surface of the case 1 as shown in FIG. 5, the ball 21 moves as if sliding toward the pins 16.

How to play the portable polling game board with the above configuration,
The locking pieces 6A, 6B are disengaged, and the pair of case housings 2A, 2B are opened at approximately 180 degrees as shown in FIG.

Then, the ball 21 and the auxiliary case 9 stored therein are taken out, and the pair of case housings 2A and 2B are turned over as shown in FIG. 2 while they are still unfolded.

Next, the auxiliary case 9 is connected to the handle 5B of one case housing 2B as shown in FIG.

After that, the protrusions 1 located on both side surfaces of the auxiliary case 9 are
2. When the inner case 9b is slid in the direction of the arrow a in FIG. 4 through the pins 2.12, the ten pins 16 stand vertically as shown in FIG.

Therefore, after turning the knob 24 to sufficiently tighten the mainspring, the ball 21 is made to stand on its leg 23b at the front end of the upper surface of the unfolded case 1, and carefully determines the direction in which it will move forward. Let go.

Then, the ball 21 moves forward toward the pin 16 while vibrating small and rapidly as described above, and the ball 21 moves forward toward the pin 16...
Push down the pin in the range that makes contact with 1.

Then, just like in actual polling, points are recorded based on the number of pins that fall.

The ball 21 moves forward while its legs 23 bounce slightly on the top surface of the case due to vibrations, so it may fall off the lane or curve, and you can score points depending on which direction you turn the ball and let go of it first. Because it depends on the polling, you can experience the same level of fun and technique as in actual polling.

After the game is over, the case housing and the auxiliary case 9 are disconnected and placed in the - case housing 2B as shown in FIG. 3 with all the pins 16 down.

The ball 21 is also attached to the inner case 9 of the auxiliary case 9.
After it is placed in the recess 13 of b, the pair of case casings 2A and 2B are closed to create the state of case 1 shown in FIG.

The effects of this idea are as follows.

It is a portable polling game board that is convenient to carry, can be easily assembled on a tabletop, etc., and can be played easily without taking up much space.It not only has the characteristics of an indoor game, but also has the same quality as an actual polling game. It is interesting to be able to experience the fun of carrying and technique.
