Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION "Field of Industrial Application" The present invention relates to a mini golf course where the game is mainly played using a putter.

``Prior Art'' Mini-golf courses are sometimes set up in parks, amusement parks, etc. where the game is played mainly by putters.

Conventional mini-golf courses of this type simply imitate formal golf courses, with bunkers, ponds, and OB corners, and if the course is changed after it has been built, had to be rebuilt.

``Problem to be solved by invention'' However, unlike formal golf courses, conventional mini golf courses like this are extremely small in size, and cannot be rebuilt frequently, making it difficult for the course to change. The problem was that because it was so scarce, there was little interest in it, and people got tired of it quickly.

The present invention has been made in view of these conventional problems, and an object of the present invention is to provide a mini golf course that is highly entertaining and allows for easy course changes.

``Means for Solving the Problems'' The gist of the present invention for achieving the above object is that the game is mainly played using a putter,
At a mini golf course with an OB corner, etc.

A raised game floor is formed and supported on the foundation floor.

A ridge-shaped protrusion is placed on the game floor to form the general/course section.

A part of the game floor is divided into disk shapes, and a turntable supported so that it can rotate and stop at a plurality of predetermined positions is provided, and when the turntable is converted to the plurality of predetermined positions, the general course section The mini golf course is characterized in that a plurality of course elements are arranged on the turntable so as to change their positional relationship.

``Operation'' The game begins by placing a golf ball at the start of the course and hitting the golf ball with an appropriate love depending on the size of the course.

Since the course follows a ridge-like course, it is difficult to determine the direction in which the golf ball will roll, making for a thrilling experience that requires some ingenuity.

Of course, just like in the past, bunkers, ponds, OB corners, etc. can be added to create the feel of a formal golf course.

When changing the course, rotate the turntable and
Change the correspondence between the course elements of the turntable and the general course section. As a result, the course will look completely different.

Further, by changing the positions of holes and protrusions on the game floor, the direction and position of the course can be changed, allowing the course to be changed quickly and easily.

"Example" Hereinafter, one embodiment of the present invention will be described based on the drawings.

Each figure shows one embodiment of the invention.

As shown in FIG. 2, the mini golf course 10 is located in a predetermined section A.
formed within. The predetermined section A may be located on the roof or underground of a building, for example.

In this embodiment, nine courses are set.

The principle is 2-on. Each course has teeing grounds 5l-39 and green G as shown by encircling the numbers.
1-09, and the course runs between them.

Greens 01 to G9 are provided with holes H1 to H9.

Some of the cleans can be made into blocks with a common outer peripheral structure so that they can be exchanged with each other. The shape of the block is not limited to a circle, but may be a polygon or a curved section.

In addition, other general parts of the mini golf course 10 may be formed of blocks of a common shape so that they can be replaced with each other. If a difference in level occurs due to the replacement of various blocks, artificial trees or grass may be used. You can deal with it by leaving it there. A trap hole may be provided in the wall of the step, and the game may end when a golf ball enters the hole.

Each office has bunker BL, B2... and pond PI.

F2... and OB<i01. which forms the OB corner.
02... are arranged, and flat zones Fl are mainly located where the course is curved.

F2... is provided. These bunkers, ponds, etc. can be made into blocks with a common outer peripheral structure so that they can be exchanged.

As shown in Figures 1 and 3 to 5, the mini golf course 1
The installation surface of 0 is formed by the game floor surface 12 raised from the foundation floor surface 11, and the game floor surface 12 is supported by the foundation floor surface 11 via support legs 13, 13... Floor surface 11. The game floor 12 is equipped with various course elements such as bunkers and oil guides.

FIG. 3 shows a general course section, in which course forming protrusions 14 are placed on the game floor 12, and artificial turf 15 is placed on the protrusions 14.
It is formed by applying. The course forming protrusion 14 is raised in the center of the cross section or in the shape of a ridge, and various types with different heights, widths, flatness of the top surface, and curves when viewed from the plane are prepared. Set a meandering course, etc.

As can be seen from the cross section of the pond P1 shown in FIG. 4, the pond is formed by drilling a hole 12a in the game floor 12, dropping the container 16 into it, and placing it on the base floor 11. The same applies to bunkers.

Pond P1 juts out onto the No. 2 course, and Taiko Bridge T is built over it. As shown in Figure 5, Taiko a
T is formed by placing an arch-shaped bridge body T1 on the game floor 12.

As shown in FIG. 2, turntables R1, R2, . . . are provided at key points of the mini golf course 10.

The general course section of the No. 1 course and the general course section of the No. 2 course are connected to the turntable R1, and the green Gl corresponding to each course is connected to the turntable R1.

G2 is installed. Turntable R2 is provided midway through the general course portion of the No. 6 course.

The same applies to the other turntables R3 and R4, so the configuration near the turntable will be explained using the lever turntable R2 as a representative.

As shown in FIG. 1, the turntable R2 has bunkers B on a rotating disk 17 formed by dividing the game floor 12.
ll and a pond P4.

The center of the rotating disk 17 is connected to the foundation floor 11 by a pivot shaft 17a.
The outer periphery is supported by a roller 18a provided at the end of a support arm 18 extending from the support leg 13.

Bunker Bll and pond P4 are constructed by dropping containers 16 and 16 into holes 17b and 17b made in rotating circle 117, and
The flange 16a on the outer periphery of 6.16 is hooked on the edges of the holes 17b, 17b, and is supported floating above the foundation floor surface 11.

The rotation of the rotary disk 17 is performed manually or by a motor or the like, and positioning the disk 17 by six rotations is usually sufficient if it is kept stationary.If this is not sufficient, a separate positioning mechanism may be provided.

Next, the action will be explained.

The player starts the game from teeing ground S1 of the Nol course.

A golf ball is placed on teeing ground S1 and hit with appropriate love. The club is basically a putter, but other clubs may be used on wider courses.

Since the general part of the course has a high center section, it is easy to roll off to the side, requiring considerable skill, making it an interesting game. Golf ball in flat zone F
The trick is to stop at l. The Nol course ends when you hit the golf ball onto green G1 and into hole H1.

In this way, proceed one after another.

Bunker BL, B2..., Pond PL, P2..., OB
The rules regarding <i01, 02... may be the same as those for official golf courses, or may be set as exception rules. On other courses, such as the No. 2 course, it is difficult to cross the Taiko Tachibana T, and the difference is in your skill level.

As described above, the game progresses by competing with each other based on the number of courses passed in one pass or the number of strokes.

When it is desired to change the course and change the pattern, this is done by appropriately rotating the turntables R1, R2, . . .

By rotating the turntable R1 180 degrees, green Gl and green G2 are switched. By rotating turntable R2 180 degrees, bunker Bl
