On the inner peripheral surface of the case body 4, five columnar connecting parts 8 fixed to the bottom plate 5 and the partition plate 6 are arranged at equal intervals in the circumferential direction, and between each connecting part 8 at the lower part of the case main body 4, there are , circumferential long holes 9 are formed, respectively. The rotating bodies 2 are illustrated as disks in the figure, and on the partition plate 6, five rotating bodies 2 are arranged at equal intervals in the circumferential direction concentrically with the partition plate 6, and at the center thereof. A fixed vertical support shaft 10 is rotatably inserted into and supported by the partition plate 6 and the bottom plate 5.

The upper surface side, which is the outer surface side, of the rotating body 2 is divided into seven identical sector-shaped parts in the circumferential direction, and the sector-shaped parts are the display part 11.
The display unit 11 displays, for example, colors, patterns, numbers,
Each rotating body 2 is provided with seven types of display portions 11 corresponding to other rotating bodies 2 by being provided with identification marks such as pictures. The arrangement order of the display sections 11 in the circumferential direction of each rotating body 2'' may be the same or may be different.By the way, on the center side of the top plate 7, there is a star-shaped transparent section. 12 is formed, and the triangular portion on the outer circumferential side of the transparent portion 12 is used as an instruction portion 13 for indicating one display portion 11 on the center side of the case 1 of each rotating body 2. A through hole 14 is provided in the upper part of each rotating body 2 of the top plate 7 so that display parts 11 other than the display part 11 indicated by the indicating part 13 in each rotating body 2 can be viewed from above. Six pieces are formed in an annular shape corresponding to the portions 11. A star-shaped decorative plate 15 is fixed at the center of the partition plate 6 along the outer peripheral surface of the rotating body 2. The operating mechanism 3 of the body 2 is capable of rotating all the rotating bodies 2 up to 117 rotations, and is capable of changing the display unit 11 instructed by the instruction unit 13 of each rotating body 2. Rotating body 2
Five sets of spindle-side transmission mechanisms 1 configured regarding the spindle 10 of
6, and five driving bodies 18 each having an operating body 17. The spindle-side transmission mechanism 16 is composed of a first transmission body 19, a friction plate 20, a second transmission body 21, a spring 22, and an engaging pawl 23. They are arranged downward in the above order between them. The first power transmission body 19 is fixed to the support shaft 10 by being fitted onto the support shaft 10, and is made up of a ratchet wheel 24 and an upper disk 25 that are vertically connected to each other. Ratchet wheel 24
Seven teeth 26 are formed at equal intervals in the circumferential direction on the outer periphery of the rotor, and the engaging pawl 23 is removably engaged with the teeth 26, thereby forming a ratchet mechanism 27. The body 2 is only allowed to rotate in the direction of the arrow. The engaging claw 23 is made of a spring material and is attached to the lower surface of the partition plate 6. The friction plate 20 is rotatable relative to the support shaft 10, and is made of a material with a high coefficient of friction, such as nylon material. The second power transmission body 21 is fitted onto the support shaft 10 so as to be relatively rotatable, and includes a lower disk 28 at the upper part, a cylindrical portion 29 connected below the disk 28, and a cylindrical portion 29 connected to the lower side of the disk 28. The gear 30 is externally fitted and fixed to the portion 29.
Gear 30 is made from a soft elastic material such as nylon material. The spring 22 is elastically interposed between the cylindrical portion 29 of the second power transmission body 21 and the bottom plate 5, and urges the second power transmission body 21 and the friction plate 20 upward. A boss portion 31 which is a plate spring and is fitted onto the support shaft 10, and three leg portions 3 which are radially arranged around the boss portion 31 and equally distributed in the circumferential direction.
It consists of 2. Note that due to the elastic force of the spring 22, the lower disk 28 of the second power transmission body 21 is moved through the friction plate 20 to the first
By being pressed by the upper disk 25 of the transmission body 19, a friction clutch 33 is configured between the two transmission bodies 19 and 21. The drive body 18 includes a disk portion 34 and a mounting portion 35 that projects radially outward from the disk portion 34 and to which the operating body 17 is detachably attached. The disk portions 34 of the five driving bodies 18 are installed between the central portions of the partition plate 6 and the bottom plate 5, and are located between the disk portion 34 on the uppermost stage and the partition plate 6 and on the lowermost stage. Spacers 36 are interposed between the disk portion 34 and the bottom plate 5, respectively.

A vertical support shaft 37 is inserted into the center of the partition plate 6, the spacer 36, the disc part 34, and the bottom plate 5, and the disc part 34 is connected to the support shaft 3.
It is said that it can rotate freely relative to 7. The mounting portions 35 of each drive body 18 are arranged at equal intervals in the circumferential direction and protrude outward in the radial direction from between the support shaft side transmission mechanisms 16 of the adjacent rotary bodies 2 . The driving body 18 is a mounting part 3 equipped with an operating body 17.
A pair of rotating bodies 2 adjacent to the rotary bodies 5, and a rotating body 2 that is radially symmetrical with respect to a support shaft 37 located at the center of both of these rotating bodies 2.
The disc part 3 is rotated by 117 rotations in the direction of the arrow.
4. On the outer periphery, there is a shaft-side transmission mechanism 1 for the three rotating bodies 2.
Three gear portions 38 are formed in the circumferential direction to mesh with the gear 30 of No. 6. The operating body 17 is provided to protrude outward from the case 1 through the elongated hole 9. Reference numeral 39 denotes a return spring, which is elastically interposed between the mounting portion 35 of the driving body 18 and the connecting portion 8 on the rear side in the direction of rotation operation with respect to the driving body 18. It is in contact with one end of 9.

According to the first embodiment configured as described above, the arbitrary operating body 17 can be rotated in the direction of the arrow to the position shown by the imaginary line in FIG. For example, the drive body 18 to which the operating body 17 is fixedly mounted rotates around the support shaft 37, and the gears 30 of the three support shaft-side transmission mechanisms 16 that engage the gear portion 38 of the disk portion 34 rotate. I am forced to do it.

In each shaft-side transmission mechanism 16, the second transmission body 2
The rotation of the gear 30, which is a component of the gear 1, is transmitted to the first transmission body 19 via the friction clutch 33, but in this case, the ratchet mechanism 27 does not work and the first transmission body 19 rotates together with the support shaft 10, the rotating body 2 is rotated by 117 rotations in the direction of the arrow, and the display section 11 indicated by the indicating section 13 is changed. After this, when the operating force of the operating body 17 is released, the driving body 18 and the operating body 17 are rotated back to their original positions due to the elastic force of the return spring 39, and the rotation of the driving body 18 is restored. As a result, the gear 30 of the spindle-side transmission mechanism 16 that engages with the gear portion 38 of the disk portion 34 also rotates back to its original position.
The rotation is not transmitted to the second transmission body 21, only slippage occurs in the friction clutch 33, and the rotary plate 2 is maintained at the rotation position. As described above, each rotating body 2 can be rotated by 117 rotations in the direction of the arrow by the operating body 17,
Therefore, by appropriately operating the five operating bodies 17, the display section 1 instructed by the instruction section 13 of each rotating body 2
You can play interesting games such as matching all 1's of the same type (for example, matching colors, matching patterns, matching numbers, matching pictures). Furthermore, since the gear 30 is made of a soft elastic material, even if there is a manufacturing error between the support shaft side transmission mechanism 16 and the drive body 18, it can be absorbed suitably, and the Transmission to the shaft-side transmission mechanism 16 can be performed smoothly.
6 and 7 show a second embodiment of the present invention,
A rotary body 2 having five types of display parts 11 and a rotary body 2 having a type of display part 11 even if another type of display part 11 is added to the above five types of display parts 11 are each three per rotation. They are arranged in alternating directions.

There are three driving bodies 18, and a long hole 40 containing a gear 30 of each spindle-side transmission mechanism 16 is formed in the circumferential direction in the disc portion 34 of the driving body 18. A gear portion 38 that engages with the gear 30 is formed on the inner peripheral side of the inner surface of the pair of elongated holes 40 that are radially symmetrical with respect to the pair of adjacent elongated holes 40 and the support shafts 37 of these elongated holes 40. , by rotating the driving body 18 with the operation body 17, a predetermined pair of rotating bodies 2 having five types of display sections 11 are rotated 115 times, and a predetermined pair of rotation bodies having six types of display sections 11 are rotated. It is configured so that the body 2 can be rotated 116 times each. In addition, as shown in FIGS. 2 and 6, instead of providing the triangular indicating portion 13 and the through hole 14 on the top plate 7, the top plate 7 is made transparent, and the virtual structure shown in FIG. As shown by the line, an arrow may be attached to the top plate 7 or the partition plate 6 as an indicator 13 indicating one display section 11 on the center side of the case 1 on the rotating body 2. FIG. 8 shows a third embodiment of the present invention, which differs from the second embodiment in that one elongated hole 40 adjacent to the mounting portion 35 in the driver 18 and this and the support shaft 37 are different from the second embodiment. A gear 3 is provided on the outer circumferential side of the inner surface of both the elongated hole 40 on the radially symmetrical side.
This is the point where the gear part 38 that engages with 0 is carved, and the second
In the embodiment, rotating bodies 2 having the same number of display units 11 are rotated in opposite directions.

In the above embodiment, the number of rotating bodies is five to six, and the rotating bodies are disk-shaped, and five, six, or seven display units are disposed on the upper surface of the disk in the circumferential direction. However, it does not have to be as described above; in short, the shape etc. of the rotating body is arbitrary, and the number thereof may be three or more, and a plurality of display parts may be arranged on the outer surface side in the rotation direction. .

Furthermore, the operating mechanism may be of a type other than the embodiment; in short, the operating mechanism has a plurality of operating bodies that rotate a plurality of rotating bodies, the number of which is smaller than the total number, and these operating bodies rotate all the rotating bodies. It is sufficient if it can be rotated. As described in detail above, according to the present invention, it is possible to perform new and interesting games such as color matching, where all the display sections instructed by the instruction section on each rotating body are of the same type. can. The present invention has the above advantages and is of great practical benefit.
