Description

[Detailed description of the invention] Industrial application field This invention is a path determining device that is placed in the middle of the course of a piece advance game, that is, a game in which the pieces advance and compete to arrive at the goal. It is related to.

Technical problem to be solved In a piece advancement game where the amount or direction of movement of pieces is regulated by conditions built into the game,
The more various condition-determining elements that are provided during the course, the more interesting the game becomes.

From this point of view, this invention aims to provide a path determining device equipped with a novel means for determining the path direction of the pieces.

Embodiment of this invention Next, an embodiment of this invention will be described based on the drawings.

The piece path determining device consists of a game board A and pieces B.

1 is a base on which this game board A can be stably placed on a flat surface, and is formed hollow;
A shallow bowl-shaped concave surface 2 with the center at its lowest point is provided at the center of the upper surface, and a wall 3 is erected around the outer periphery of the concave surface, and a plurality of exits 4 are provided in the wall at positions separated in the circumferential direction. The outer periphery of the concave surface and the upper surface 5 of the base 1 are connected to each other at each outlet.

A rotary plate 6 is protruded from the center of the concave surface 2, and when the operating member 7 provided at a position away from the outlet 4 on the upper surface of the base 1 is rotated, the operating member 7 and the rotating plate 6 are connected. The rotary plate 6 is rotated by a transmission member 8 that rotates.

The transmission member 8 includes an elastic rubber cord wound around a pulley 6a fixed to the lower part of the rotating shaft of the rotary plate 6 and a pulley 7a fixed to the lower part of the rotating shaft of the operating member 7. The transmission member may be a non-stretchable string or a gear train, but if a stretchable rubber string is used, a special effect can be obtained as described below.

The game board A having the above-mentioned configuration is used by being placed in the middle of the course of a piece advance game, and the piece B that has arrived at the game board is placed on the concave surface 2 and rotated by operating the operating member 7. Rotate the plate 6.

As illustrated in FIG. 4, the piece B has a steel ball 10 rotatably held in a base 9 opened at the bottom, with a part of the steel ball 10 slightly protruding from the opening surface of the base. The weight of the ball lowers the center of gravity,
Even if the pieces are tilted to a certain extent, they will return to an upright position.

Therefore, when this piece B is put into the concave surface 2 of the game board A, the steel ball 10 rotates and the piece always tries to move toward the lowest part of the concave surface.

Then, when the rotating plate 6 is rotated by the operating member 7, the piece B is moved toward the outer circumference of the concave surface when it hits the rotating plate. The amount and direction of movement are determined by the operating member 7.
The speed of rotation varies depending on the rotational speed of the rotating plate 6 and the position of collision with the rotary plate 6. In some cases, it hits the wall 3 and bounces back, and in other cases, it just goes out from the exit 4. At each exit, a letter d, number, symbol, etc., which designates a course, is written, and the next course of piece B is determined by this.

When a non-stretchable string is used for the transmission member 8, the rotation of the operating member 7 can be smoothly carried out by the rotating plate 6.
Therefore, it is relatively easy to predict the direction of movement when the piece B hits the rotating rotary plate 6. However, when using a rubber string for the transmission member 8, the part of the rubber string that is stretched between the pulleys 6a and 7a expands and contracts irregularly, so even if the operating member 7 is rotated at a constant speed. , the rotational speed of the rotary plate 6 irregularly changes slowly or suddenly. Therefore, the direction and amount of movement of the pieces that collide with the rotating plate are difficult to predict, which makes the game more unexpected and more enjoyable.

The concave surface 2 and the rotary plate 6 are as illustrated in FIG.
It is also possible to use a concave surface having a plurality of lowest parts, and to provide a rotary plate 6 at each lowest part, so that all the rotary plates can be rotated in conjunction with each other by the operating member 7. Furthermore, the configuration of the rotary plate 6 may be one-plate, two-plate, three-plate, or
It can be any shape such as four pieces.

Effects of this invention As described above, according to this invention, a novel course determining device for a piece advance game is additionally provided.
