Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] Industrial Field of the Invention [0001] The present invention relates to a ring-throwing game facility particularly useful for business use.

2. Description of the Related Art Conventional technology and its problems General-purpose ring-throwing play equipment is equipped with a rotary table that normally rotates horizontally, and various prizes are circumferentially arranged at intervals from the periphery of the table. ing. The customer throws a ring over the counter towards the table, and the prize that the ring enters is given to the customer as a prize. However, in the conventional equipment of this kind, since the rotary table is horizontally rotated, a large space is required for installation, the cost for securing the installation space is high, and among the many prizes arranged on the rotary table. Looking at one target prize, there was the inconvenience that if you miss the timing of throwing the ring, you will not appear in front of you unless you wait for 360 ° rotation. In addition, the counter must have an arc shape to keep a constant distance from the turntable, and normally a counter of 180 ° to 360 ° is used. It was necessary to secure it, and it was inconvenient when the installation space was limited, such as at a fair or amusement park playground venue.

In this case, the problem of the horizontal rotation method can be eliminated by rotating the rotary table in the vertical direction, but the vertical rotation method cannot target the prize, which makes the game unattractive to the customer. However, it is not preferable as a game facility for sales.

The present invention has been made for the purpose of eliminating such conventional problems.

Means for Solving the Problems The present invention is directed to a vertical wheel that is rotationally driven about a rotation axis, and is arranged side by side in a circumferential direction and protrudes forward from a front peripheral portion of the wheel. A plurality of pins as targets, and a wheel drop preventing hook portion projecting upward from the front end portion of the pin, each of which is attached to the vertical wheel at the rear end portion in the direction around the central axis of the pin. The present invention relates to a ring-throwing play facility, which is rotatably supported, and further has a hanging weight fixed to a pin, which constitutes a gondola for displaying and storing a prize.

Embodiment An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

The main body part (1) of the ring-throwing play equipment according to the present invention has a stand-like appearance, and the left and right side wall parts (11) (11), the rear wall part (12),
It is composed of a roof part (13) and a floor part (14). The left and right side wall parts (11) (11) are provided with an inclination so that the facing interval gradually expands toward the front, and as a result, the front opening of the main body part (1) is expanded.

A vertical wheel (3) that rotates about a rotation axis 2 is provided on the front side of the rear wall section (12) of the main body section (1) substantially at the center thereof, and the vertical wheel (3) rotates on the rear side of the rear wall section (12). The drive device (21) of (3) is provided.

The wheel (3) is, for example, as shown, a rotating shaft (2).
A central boss portion (31) fitted to the boss, a large number of spokes (32) radially extended from the boss portion (31), and an outer ring portion (33) for connecting the tips of the spokes (32). And an inner ring part (34) connecting the intermediate parts of the spokes (32). The wheel (3) may also have a plate shape.

A pin (4) for hanging a wheel is provided so as to project forward at a portion near the outer periphery of the wheel (3), for example, at each intersection of the spoke (32) and the outer ring portion (33).

The bottle (4) has a hook portion (41) projecting upward for locking the wheel at the tip, and the hook portion (41) is always directed upward regardless of the rotational position of the wheel (3). Has become. In order to obtain such a structure, the pin (4) is freely inserted into and supported by the wheel (3), is rotatable about the central axis, and is provided on the side opposite to the hook part (41). A weight (42) is provided so that the hook (41) always faces upward by the action of the weight (42).

The weight (42) forms a gondola, and a gondola-type weight (4
2) The prizes (not shown) given to customers as prizes are stored and displayed in the inside.

The left and right side wall parts (11) (11) may be configured to be used as a display shelf for prizes. In the embodiment shown for this purpose, the side wall (11) comprises a frame (111),
The frame (111) is composed of a large number of horizontal bars (112) that are chipped between the vertical bars, and various prizes can be placed on the horizontal bars (112).

The floor portion (14) is provided with a floor plate (141) that inclines obliquely downward as shown in FIG. 2, and the wheels dropped on the floor plate (141) slide forward along the inclination, and the rising part of the front end. (142)
It is possible to collect and collect at the place.

When conducting business, the main body (1) and the counter (a) are installed at the business location. Since the wheel (3) provided in the main body (1) rotates vertically, the area occupied by the plane is smaller than that of the conventional horizontal (horizontal) rotary type, and the floor area required for installation can be reduced.

Since the pin (4) provided as a target on the wheel (3) moves in the same vertical plane over the entire range of 360 ° as the wheel (3) rotates longitudinally, the counter (a) is moved to the vertical plane. By arranging them substantially parallel, the counter (a)
The distance between and all the pins (4) can be kept substantially constant. Therefore, the counter (a) may be installed in front of the main body (1) in a substantially straight line with a width commensurate with the diameter of the wheel (3), and it does not require a space from an adjacent facility. It can be conveniently installed in the designated installation space.

Moreover, the pin (4) as the target moves in the same vertical plane over the entire range of 360 ° and always faces the counter (a), and in addition to each pin (4) and the counter (a), Since the distances between the two do not differ so much, the player can always throw the ring toward the target, and the trouble of waiting until the target appears in front as in the case of horizontal rotation is eliminated.

When playing, the customer throws a wheel over the counter (a) toward the pin (4) of the wheel (3), and when the pin (4) is hooked, the gondola-type weight attached to the pin (4). The prize contained and displayed in the weight (42) is passed. In this case, a difficulty level may be provided between the pins (4) and the prize according to the difficulty level may be changed. The degree of difficulty is arbitrary. For example, the protruding length of the pin (4) may be different, the pin (4) may be inclined, or the hook (4
Means such as changing the direction and shape of 1) or attaching obstacles so that the ring is hard to enter can be exemplified.

Effect According to the amusement equipment according to the present invention, since the wheel rotates vertically, the floor area required for installation can be reduced as compared with the horizontal rotation method, and the pin as the target is in the same vertical plane over the entire 360 ° range. As it moves, the counter can be installed in a straight line, eliminating the inconvenience of arc-shaped installation. Furthermore, the customer can throw a ring toward the target at any time whenever he / she likes, which facilitates play and improves playability.

Furthermore, the self-centering function of the weight allows the hook part of the pin to be held upwards at all times regardless of the wheel rotation position, and the weight constitutes a gondola, so the prizes given to the customer as prizes can be placed inside the gondola. It can be housed and displayed, so that the customer can enter into a ring-throw game aiming for a favorite prize, and the problems of the horizontal rotation method can be eliminated without deteriorating or losing the attractiveness of the game for commercial use.
