Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] This invention relates to a maze game device that can be played by tilting a maze board to make a small ball roll and reach a goal.

Conventionally, various maze game devices have been known, but most of them are for one person to enjoy, and the maze board can be tilted in the direction desired, so even if the maze is complex and the small ball Even though it becomes difficult because there are multiple balls, it is relatively easy to make the small ball reach the goal, and the operation is simple, so there was a problem that it was easy to get tired of it.

In view of the above points, this idea was developed in such a way that two players competing with each other compete with each other to operate the knobs, tilt the maze board back and forth, left and right, and get the small ball on the maze board faster than the opponent. To provide a highly competitive maze game device that allows players to lead the game to a goal and play as if the game is decided.

Next, this invention will be explained based on an embodiment shown in the accompanying drawings.

Reference numeral 1 designates a labyrinth board having a rectangular planar shape. The outer periphery of the upper surface of the labyrinth board 1 is surrounded by a frame 2, and a labyrinth 4 is formed within the frame 2 by a large number of protrusions 3. The labyrinth 4 has a four-sided structure with a shallow recess 6 provided at the center of the labyrinth board 1 into which a small ball 5 can be placed as a boundary.
Reference numeral 7 denotes a base having a frame portion 8 into which the labyrinth plate 1 is fitted, and an operation panel 9 provided on the opposite side of the base 7.
In the center of the upper surface of 9' are cross holes 10 and 1, respectively.
0' is provided. Reference numerals 11 and 11' denote knobs protruding outward through the cross holes 10 and 10';
The knob pieces 11, 11' are attached to handle portions 12a, 12 of the ladle-like levers 12, 12' as shown in FIGS. 2 and 3.
It is erected at the base end of a′. Ladle-shaped lever 1
2 and 12' are long holes 1 provided in the handle parts 12a and 12a'.
3 and is engaged with a pin 14 that hangs down from the frame portion 8 of the base 7. Therefore, the knob 1
By moving the levers 1, 11' back and forth and left and right along the cross holes 10, 10',
12' slides in the front-rear direction and pin 1
4 (see the two-dot chain line in FIG. 3), the ladle portion 12 of this ladle-like lever 12, 12'
There are protrusions 15 on the distal and proximal sides of b and 12b'.
a, 15b, 15a', 15b' are provided protrudingly, and a group of cams 16 are provided on the lower surface of the labyrinth plate 1. The cam group 16 is connected to the ladle-shaped lever 1.
2, 12' when rotated, the protrusion 15a on the tip side,
Arc-shaped cams 16a, 16b, 16 are provided along the arc-shaped locus drawn by 15a' and are raised outwardly.
a', 16b' and when the ladle-like levers 12, 12' are moved forward, the protrusions 15a, 15 on the tip side
linear cams 16c, 16c' that engage with a', and linear cams 16d, 16d that engage protrusions 15b, 15b' on the proximal end side when the ladle-shaped levers 12, 12' are moved rearward. ′ are placed facing each other. Therefore, when placing the knobs 11, 11' of the opposing operation panels 9, 9' at the midpoint of the cross holes 10, 10', the protrusions 15a, 15a of the ladle levers 12, 12'
15b, 15a', 15b' have no effect on any of the cams in the cam group 16, and the labyrinth plate 1
is kept horizontally, but when one knob 11 is moved forward as shown in the fourth figure, the ladle-shaped lever 12
When the protrusion 15a on the distal end side engages with the linear cam 16c and tilts the labyrinth plate 1 toward the front side, and conversely moves the knob piece 11 backward from the midpoint, the proximal end side of the ladle-like lever 12 The protrusion 15b is a linear cam 16d.
to tilt the labyrinth plate 1 toward the other side. Further, when the knob 11 is moved to the right or left from the center point, the protrusion 15a on the tip side of the ladle-like lever 12 engages with the arc-shaped cam 16a or 16b, and the labyrinth plate 1
to the right or left. Of course, when the other knob piece 11' is moved back and forth and left and right, the labyrinth plate 1 tilts in the same way. 17 is the labyrinth plate 1
18 is an inclined groove provided in the frame part 8 of the base 7 so as to communicate with the outlet 17 for the small balls 5, and 19 is a goal for the small balls 5. , 20 are grooves for taking out the small balls 5 that have entered the goal 19. Although the goal 19 is shown as a monster with its mouth wide open, the goal is not limited thereto. Reference numeral 21 denotes a hook provided on the labyrinth board 1, and the hook 21 is for allowing the labyrinth board 1 to engage with a notch 22 provided in the frame portion 8 of the base 7 in a freely tiltable manner. According to this embodiment, the tunnel 23 and the sign 24 are provided for the purpose of decoration, but it goes without saying that various other decorative elements can be freely incorporated.

As described above, this invention includes a labyrinth board with a labyrinth formed on its top surface, a base that holds the labyrinth board so that it can be tilted back and forth, left and right, and a control panel that is provided on the opposite side of the base and protrudes from the top surface. By moving the tabs back and forth and left and right, the maze board can be tilted back and forth and left and right, so two players can play a game and drop a small ball into the recess provided in the center of the maze board. Once placed on the board, the knobs on the operation panel are moved back and forth, left and right at the signal of the player, and the maze board is tilted so that the small balls on it roll in an advantageous manner toward the player's own team. This tilting operation not only does not go as planned due to the presence of the opponent, but also requires precision at all times by reading the opponent's movements, but sometimes the tilting operation can be tilted in the opponent's favor, allowing the small ball to reach the goal. By then it's become very heated. In this way, if a player makes the small ball reach the goal faster than his opponent, that player wins, and the first round is decided.

As described above, this invention has the excellent effect of providing a highly competitive maze game device in which players can be excited by every movement of the ball until the game is decided, unlike conventional maze game devices that can be enjoyed by one person. It is something.
