Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] (Industrial Application Field) This invention relates to a foot-operated musical scale game device that is effective for pitch education.

(Prior Art) Conventionally, as a foot-operated musical scale game device, as shown in the first diagram, a mat 4 containing a plurality of switch elements 11 to 1n that are closed by foot pedals is mounted on a mat 4 corresponding to each of the switch elements 11 to 1n. In some cases, a sound source circuit that generates scale tones and a sound generating unit 2 that includes a built-in speaker is provided, and as shown in the second figure, a mat 4 that has a built-in plurality of switch elements 11 to 1n, a sound source circuit, and a speaker are installed. The built-in sounding section 2 is separated,
It may be connected by a multi-core cable 3, or it may be an integrated structure that includes a mat 4 with built-in switch elements 11 to 1n as shown in Figure 3, and a base 8 with a built-in sound source 2 such as a sound source circuit and a speaker. Those who have done so are known.

In the figure, 6 is a cover, and 7 is a scale tone display section.

(Problems to be Solved by the Invention) When the sound generating section 2 is provided at one end or approximately in the center of the upper surface of the mat 4 as shown in the first diagram, it is easy to trip over the sound generating section 2 and fall down while using the mat. Accidents or
In addition, the cable 3 connecting the mat 4 and the sounding section 2, which is separate from the mat 4, can get tangled or caught on the foot, which is dangerous. A device in which the base 8 containing the mat 4 and the sounding section 2 is integrated has a large weight and is inconvenient in terms of transportation and storage.

The object of this invention is to provide a foot-operated musical scale game device that eliminates the above-mentioned drawbacks.

(Means for solving the problem) This invention uses a mat that contains a plurality of switch elements that are closed by stepping on the foot, and generates a scale tone corresponding to each switch element by closing the plurality of switch elements. A base that includes a structure containing a sound source circuit and a sound generating section with a speaker, and a cover for fixing mats with different colors for each scale on the parts corresponding to the built-in locations of multiple switch elements that operate the sound source circuit. and are configured to be detachable.

Furthermore, the present invention is characterized in that an auxiliary tool such as a handrail is attached to the side surface of the base.

(Example) An example of this invention will be described below with reference to FIGS. 4 and 5.

As shown in FIG. 4, a resilient mat 4 includes a plurality of switch elements 1 made of flexible material.
1 to 1n are built-in for one octave, and when the switch elements 11 to 1n are stepped on, the switch is closed and a tone generator circuit that generates scale tones is operated. Also, a cord 5 for sending signals from the switch elements 11 to 1n to the sound source is connected to one end of the mat 4.
This length is much shorter than the multi-core cable 3 as shown in the second figure of the conventional example, and when using this foot-operated musical scale game device 10, the cover 6 is hung from above, so the cord is Since the cord 5 is covered with the cover 6 and does not protrude outside, there is no need to worry about getting your feet caught on the cord 5.

The base 8 is made of wood or metal frame 3
The structure consists of three structures 8A, 8B, and 8c, connected by a connecting fitting 8a, and supports the mat 4.

One structure 8A has a built-in sound source and a speaker, and is operated by closing the switch elements 11 to 1n by stepping on the foot. On the side of this structure 8A, there is a built-in sound source and a speaker. The switch 8b, the socket terminal 8d to which signals from the switch elements 11 to 1n built in the mat 4 are input, and the sound emitting terminal for making it easier for the sound generated by the built-in speaker to be transmitted to the outside. Hole 8
e is provided.

A metal fitting 9a is provided on one side of the other two structures 8B and 8C to removably attach a handrail.
is installed.

The side of the base 8 connecting the three structures 8A, 8B, and 8C is provided with Magic Fasteners (registered trademark) or hooks 8f for attaching the cover 6.

The cover 6 for fixing the mat 4 to the base 8 has a switch element 11 that generates different scale tones.
The part (scale note display section 7) corresponding to the built-in location of ~1n is colored differently depending on the scale name or scale.
A magic fastener (registered trademark) or hook 6f is attached for fixing the mat 4 between the cover 6 and the base 8.
combine with

As described above, the handrail 9 as an auxiliary tool is assembled and connected to the base 8, the mat 4, and the cover 6 as needed, and the assembly is completed as shown in FIG.

(Effects of the invention) As described above, according to this invention, the mat, cover, and base can be separated, and the base can also be divided into several pieces, making transportation and storage easier. There is no need to worry about it, so you can easily assemble it and learn the sounds that correspond to the scale while playing. Furthermore, by attaching auxiliary devices such as handrails, it can be used for rehabilitation of people with physical disabilities such as limbs, physical exercise for elderly people, and maintenance and improvement of senses.

In addition, in the embodiment, the part of the cover corresponding to the built-in location of the switch element is given a scale name or a different color from each other, but this may be colored in a keyboard shape. The number of switch elements is not limited to one octave, but may be increased, and the number of divisions of the base may also be increased depending on the length of the mat.
