Description

 The invention relates to the field of games, including sports, such as darts, archery, bullet shooting, and can be used for games, entertainment and sports competitions, shows.

 There are various devices for playing games related to hitting objects in the target, for example, US Pat. or, as, for example, in a device for recording the score of a game of arrows, UK application 2133296, although the game is played by two players, objects (arrows) are sent to independent targets, which reduces the entertainingness of games. In addition, in these devices, to determine the winner, it is necessary to count points, which reduces the dynamics of the games.

 The task to which the claimed invention is directed is to create a device in which, along with the possibility of two players simultaneously participating in a game, the entertaining and dynamic games would be increased, and the results would be measured automatically.

 The essence of the invention lies in the fact that the target is mounted rotatably, equipped with a rotary scale and an indicator for measuring the angle of rotation of the target.

 The possibility of rotation of the target leads to the fact that when objects, for example arrows, bullets, tomahawks, get into it, due to the fact that the objects have a certain mass, the target, under the action of gravity, rotates at a certain angle, the magnitude of which depends on the location of the target, into which hit the subject, from the ratio between the mass of the subject and the mass of the target, etc. Moreover, since when the next object hits the target, the position of the center of mass of the "target objects" system changes, the position of the optimal point of the next throw also changes, that is, the position of the point on the target, when hit, the target will rotate to the maximum angle. This, in turn, introduces an element of unpredictability and additional fun into the game.

 When playing a game with one player, his task is to sequentially send a certain number of objects to the target so that in the end the target is rotated to the maximum angle, for example, clockwise.

 When the game is played by two players, each of them sends objects to “his” (left or right) half of the target so that in the end, that is, after sending a certain number of objects to the target by each of the players, the target turns out to be relative to its original position or clockwise or against it in accordance with a previously reached agreement between the players, and the winner is the player who rotates the target in the corresponding direction by a certain angle.

 Using only one target for two players at once increases the entertainingness of the game, since both of them immediately see the current result of their actions.

 Measurement of the angle of rotation using an indicator and a rotary scale, i.e. serves to measure both the current and the final result of the game and is automatically carried out after hitting another object in the target, which increases the dynamics of the games.

 The target can be made so that its center, i.e. the point through which the axis of rotation of the target passes does not coincide with the center of mass of the target, so that in the initial position, when there are no objects in the target, so that it is automatically oriented so that the center of mass of the target is located under the axis of rotation, and the indicator for measuring the angle of rotation the target corresponds to the zero position of the rotary scale.

 The specified execution of the target can be achieved, for example, by supplying the target with a weight having a certain mass and located on the target at some distance from its center. Moreover, in the initial position, when there are no objects in the target, the weight is automatically set under the axis of rotation of the target.

 The device can be made in two versions.

 In the first embodiment, the rotary scale is located on the target, and the indicator for measuring the angle of rotation of the target is fixed on the body, which is convenient for games such as archery, bullet shooting, when the target is removed from the players and are used to determine the outcome of the game, for example binoculars. The fixed position of the indicator allows you to monitor the progress of the game with the inevitable position of the binoculars relative to the indicator.

 In the second embodiment, the rotary scale is located on the body, and the indicator for measuring the angle of rotation is mounted on the target, and so on. turns with her. This embodiment allows you to most effectively demonstrate the rotation of the target during the game, which increases its entertainment.

 In FIG. 1 shows an embodiment of a device with a fixed indicator for measuring the angle of rotation of a target; in FIG. 2 shows a variant of the device with a movable indicator.

 A variant of the device with a fixed indicator consists of a housing 1, on which a target 2 is mounted rotatably relative to the OO 'axis. A rotary scale 3 is located on the target 2. A stationary indicator 4 is located on the housing 1 for measuring the angle of rotation of the target 2. At the bottom of the target weight 5.

 The game is played using items 6.

 In the embodiment of the device with a fixed indicator, a movable indicator 7 is placed on the target 2, and a fixed rotary scale 3 is mounted on the housing 1.

 A variant of the device with a fixed indicator works as follows.

 In the initial position (i.e., when there are no objects 6 in target 2), due to the weight 5 having a certain mass, the target is oriented so that the weight is under the OO 'axis, which corresponds to the zero position of the rotary scale 3 relative to the fixed indicator 4.

 After an object hits a target, for example, in its right half, the target under the influence of gravity rotates clockwise by a certain angle, the magnitude of which depends on the place where the object hits the target. In this case, the rotation angle, and therefore the result, are measured by the position of the rotary scale relative to the fixed indicator.

 Subsequent hits of objects lead to a change in the angle of rotation of the target, i.e. current result.

 The final result of the game when played by one player is determined by the position of the rotary scale relative to the fixed indicator after a given number of hits of objects in the target.

 The game is played by two players in the same way, with each of the players sending items to “his” (left or right) half of the target, and the winner is the one who, at the end of the game, was able to rotate the target at a certain angle in his own direction: clockwise or against it in accordance with a predetermined arrangement.

 Game management using a variant of the device with a moving indicator for measuring the angle of rotation of the target is carried out similarly.
