In the figure, reference numeral 1 indicates the entire competition board, which is formed in an elliptical shape imitating a stadium, and two tracks 2 and 3 are formed on the upper surface of the board on the inner and outer peripheries. In these tracks 2 and 3, 4 is the starting platform, which is set high, descends with a gentle slope until halfway, and then gets higher again from the middle, but from there, starting platform 4 is the starting platform. It has a slope that gradually decreases toward the goal located nearby.

Control panels 5, 5 are formed in a protruding manner at opposing positions across the linear portions of the tracks 2, 3.

The center part of the upper surface of the competition board 1, that is, the inside of the tracks 2 and 3, is an elliptical field, with a pillar 7 protruding from the center part and a basket 8a for playing balls at the top end. There is. Openings 8, 8 are formed on the left and right sides of the field 6 with the support 7 in between, and inside each opening is a punch which is operated by a button 9 provided on each control panel 5, 5. Brushing members 10, 10 are provided.

On the other hand, on the tracks 2 and 3, a plurality of types of obstacles are sequentially provided at predetermined intervals starting from the starting platform 4 in a counterclockwise direction in FIG. That is,
Reference numerals 11 and 11 indicate a first obstacle in the shape of a barrel with both end faces open; reference numerals 12 and 12 indicate a second obstacle simulating a hurdle; and numerals 13 and 13 indicate a third obstacle simulating a vaulting box. Beyond the third obstacles 13, 13, there is a second
As shown in the figure, fourth obstacles 14, 14 formed as serrated step portions are provided parallel to each of the tracks 2, 3 on the inner and outer peripheries. An arch 15 is provided in the middle of the track that gently descends from the fourth obstacles 14, 14, and at the end, an arch 15 is formed in a cup shape above the starting platforms 4, as a goal member. A goal stand 16 is provided.

First to third obstacles 1 on the tracks 2 and 3
Openings 18, 18 are formed in front of the balls 1, 13 and the goal stand 16, respectively, and a punching member, which will be described next, is disposed inside the openings 18, 18. However,
19 is a roller that rolls on the tracks 2 and 3 while jumping over obstacles, and in the illustrated embodiment,
Both ends are spherical and the middle part is cylindrical.
A sphere is housed inside it. Therefore, this rolling element 19 forms a rising element, and can roll while rising up the slope by the movement of the internal sphere. Note that the rolling element used in the present invention is not limited to a raised roller, but may be a spherical element.

Next, details of each part will be explained, focusing on the internal structure of the competition board.

The competition board 1 is divided into an upper case 20 and a lower main body 21, as shown exploded in FIG. The various obstacles and starting blocks described above are arranged on the upper case 20, and the movable members described later are arranged on the lower main body 21.

Hereinafter, the explanation will be given sequentially from the start position along the rolling direction of the roller 19.

First, the starting blocks 4, 4 are arranged corresponding to the tracks 2, 3 on the inner and outer peripheries, and are generally elongated rectangular frames as a whole, and as shown in FIG. An open portion 4c that opens in the traveling direction and a peripheral wall 4a are formed therein.

An engaging pin 24 is provided at the bottom of the tip side of each starting block 4.
is provided in a protruding manner, and a spring 23 is stretched between this and the lower main body side 21, and a spring force is constantly applied to each of the starting blocks 4 in the rearward direction.
Further, a protrusion 25 protrudes from the lower rear end of the starting platform 4, and a cam 26 is disposed at a position where it engages with the protrusion 25. As shown in FIG. 4, the cams 26 are each fixed to the tips of support shafts 27 that are suspended horizontally on the lower main body 21. As shown in FIG. A crown gear 28 is fixed to the other end of the support shaft 27, and each crown gear 28 meshes with a pinion gear 29, respectively. The pinion gear 29 is fixed to a support shaft of an operating handle 17 provided on the control panel 5.

Therefore, when the operating handle 17 is rotated, each cam 26 rotates via the pinion gear 29 and the crown gear 28, and the protrusion 25 is pushed by the cam 26 against the force of the spring 24. When the starting platform 4 is moved forward and the claw of the cam 26 comes off the protrusion 25, the starting platform 4 is moved forward.
suddenly returns to the rear due to the tensile force of the spring 24,
It stops when it hits a stopper 30 provided on a part of the lower body 21.

At this time, if the roller 19 is placed on the rear end 4b of the top surface of the starting platform 4, when the starting platform 4 suddenly returns, the rolling element 19 will slide on the top surface of the starting platform and try to maintain its position. . Therefore, by rotating the operation handle 17 in a connected manner and repeating the slow forward motion and rapid return motion of the starting platform 4, the rolling element 19 moves forward little by little, that is, by one stroke of the starting platform 4, while rocking back and forth. Finally, it falls onto trucks 2 and 3. Tracks 2 and 3 have the starting platform 4 side elevated, so
The roller 19 that has fallen onto the upper surface of the track rolls on the slope due to the action of the rising roller, and one end of the roller 19 finally fits into the opening 18 provided on the tracks 2 and 3.

A punching member 31 is disposed within the opening 18, as shown in FIG. The punching members 31 are each provided at the tip of a lever 32 formed in a dogleg shape, and a button 9 is provided at the rear end of each lever 32 to face the control panel 5 so as to be able to rise and fall freely. ing. A support shaft 33 protrudes from the left and right in the vicinity thereof, and is rotatably supported by a bearing member (not shown) protruding from the lower main body 21 .

Therefore, the tip of the lever 32 is always lowered due to its own weight, but only when the button 9 is pressed, the tip side suddenly rises, and the ejecting member 31 moves into the opening 1.
8 protrudes onto the track. At this time, by providing an appropriate inclination at the tip of the launching member 31, the rolling element 19 is vigorously launched forward and diagonally upward, and when the launching strength is appropriate,
The vehicle passes through a first obstacle 11 shaped like a barrel, and then rolls on an inclined track toward a second obstacle 12 shaped like a hurdle. Then, it fits into an opening 18 formed on the front side of the second obstacle 12.

On the side edges of the tracks 2 and 3 in front of the second obstacle 12, inclined protrusions 34 are provided, each facing in the direction of the other track.
The rolling elements 19 that have been rolling on the inner track 3 are transferred to the outer track 2, and the rolling elements 19 that have been rolling on the outer track 2 are transferred to the inner track 3. This is to eliminate the handicap caused by the difference in circumference between the inner and outer tracks when two players are playing a game.

Next, openings 18, 18, 18 are formed in the front, rear, and intermediate portions of the second obstacles 12, 12, respectively, and a punching member 31 is faced into each of these three openings. There is. These punching members 31 are provided protrudingly from the tip of the lever 35. The levers 35 have different lengths depending on the length from each control panel 5 to the second obstacle 12, and at the rear end of each lever 35,
