Description

[0001]
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a game tool, and more particularly to a game tool which is composed of a square pedestal and a figure body such as a doll or an animal provided on the pedestal and rolls like a dice.
[0002]
[Prior art]
Conventionally, various games have been proposed and put into practical use as on-board games such as Sugoroku. In these games, dice are often used as tools for controlling the progress of the game. Since this dice does not reflect the player's will, it is possible to maintain fairness and to advance the game with a simple operation. In addition, a roulette mechanism is provided on the board in place of the dice, and a roulette is used to control the progress of the game.
[0003]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
However, the results of all the tools are expressed in numbers, and there are no major problems in the progress of the game, but they are tasty because they are mechanical.
[0004]
It is an object of the present invention to provide a game tool that solves the above-mentioned problems and has visual interest that does not involve the will of the player.
[0005]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
In order to solve the above problems, a game tool according to the present invention is characterized by having the following requirements.
(B) The game tool is composed of a square pedestal and a figure body such as a doll or animal provided on the pedestal. (B) The figure body protrudes above the four corners of the pedestal. four protrusions are formed, to constitute the vertices of a cube in a corner of the projecting portion of the tip and the base [0006]
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
In FIG. 1, symbol A shows an example of a game tool according to the present invention, and this game tool A is composed of a square plate-shaped pedestal 1 and a figure body 2 such as a doll or an animal provided on the pedestal 1. Has been. The figure body 2 is formed with four projecting portions 4a to 4d projecting upward from the four corners of the pedestal 1, the tips a1 to a4 of the projecting portions 4a to 4d, and the corners b1 to b4 of the pedestal 1; Constitutes the vertex of a cube.
[ 0007 ]
In FIG. 1, the figure body 2 is formed to imitate a human beast, and the protrusions 4 a to 4 d are constituted by the tip of a sword, both ends of a blade, and the tip of a tail, and the corners b1 to b1 of the base 1 are formed. b4 and the tips a1 to a4 of the four protrusions 4a to 4d form a vertex of a cube having a side of about 10 mm.
[ 0008 ]
In addition, as shown in FIG. 2, you may form the support | pillar body 5 protruding from one corner | angular part of the base 1 upwards. Thus, the four corners b1 to b4 of the pedestal 1, the tips a1 'and a3' of the projections 4a 'and 4c' of the figure body 2 ', and the corners 5a and 5b of the column body 5 constitute a vertex of the cube. Can do. As a result, it is not necessary to forcibly provide four protrusions from the figure body, and a degree of freedom is created in the shape of the figure body 2.
[ 0009 ]
In the case of playing a game using the game tool having the above-described configuration, the game tool A is placed on the palm of the hand and rolled out to roll the dice. As shown in FIGS. 3A to 3E, when the game tool is stopped as a result of the swing out, five patterns of the normal position, the chin, the horizontal position, the reverse position, and the prone position are generated. Should be reflected. For example, a game tool may be used as a means for setting the energy of one's own character when performing a battle game in a video game. The energy value (for example, 100% for the normal position, 50% for the horizontal position, 200% for the reverse position, etc.) is set in advance corresponding to the five patterns, and the value is determined from a stationary state. It can be used for games.
[ 0010 ]
Next, a case where the game tool A is accommodated in the container 10 and used for playing a game will be described. As shown in FIG. 4, the container 10 includes a first container 10a and a second container 10b formed in a hemispherical shape from a resin such as a transparent plastic. The open end faces of the containers 10a and 10b The fitting recess 12 and the fitting protrusion 11 are formed, respectively, and when the first container 10a and the second container 10b are brought into contact with each other, a sphere is formed.
[ 0011 ]
In the case of playing a game using the container, the game tool A is accommodated in the container 10, and the container may be shaken so as to swing the dice in a state where the game tool A is accommodated. When the container falls, the container is separated into the first container 10a and the second container 10b by impact, and the stored game tool A is thrown out, so that the state stopped as described above is reflected in the game. Good.
[ 0012 ]
Then, instead of shaking the container by hand, the launching device B may launch the container . As shown in FIG. 5, the launching device B is formed to imitate a robot, and one arm portion constitutes a launching mechanism C that launches the container 10 described above.
[ 0013 ]
This firing mechanism C is composed of a plurality of clamping pieces 18 (four in the present invention) forward from a disc-like substrate 17 provided at the tip of a support 16 pivotally supported on the side of the body portion 15 so as to be pivotable up and down. The sandwiching piece 18 is curved so that the container 10 can be sandwiched, and the tip is tapered.
[ 0014 ]
An extrusion member 19 that pushes the container 10 forward is provided in the center of the substrate 17. The pushing member 19 includes a circular pressing plate 20 disposed on the front surface of the substrate 17, and a shaft-like operation rod 21 that penetrates the support body 16 from the back surface of the pressing plate 20 and protrudes rearward of the support body 16. By pressing the operating rod 21 forward, the pressing plate 20 can push the container 10 forward while expanding the holding piece 18.
[ 0015 ]
When the container 10 is to be launched using the launching device A, the game tool A is first accommodated in the container 10, and the container 10 assembled into a spherical shape is pushed in while spreading the sandwiching piece 18. The container 10 is clamped (see FIG. 6A and FIG. 7A).
[ 0016 ]
Next, the support body 16 is turned up and down to determine the firing direction of the container 10, and the operation rod 21 is pushed forward. The pressing plate 20 provided at the front end of the operation rod 21 presses the container 10 from the rear, and at this time, the container 10 is pushed out while spreading the holding piece 18. At the moment when the maximum diameter of the container 10 passes the tip of the sandwiching piece 18, the sandwiching piece 18 is elastically restored, so that the container is fired to flip forward (see FIG. 6B).
[ 0017 ]
The fired container 10 is separated by a landing impact, and the game tool A accommodated therein is released (see FIG. 7B). As described above, the released game tool A can be played by applying it to on-board games such as Sugoroku and video games from the information on the stationary state because the stationary state is not specified like a dice eye. In addition, since it uses a launcher to fly instead of rolling by hand, a visually enjoyable game tool can be constructed.
[ 0018 ]
【The invention's effect】
According to the first aspect of the present invention, the pedestal is composed of a square pedestal and a figure body such as a doll or animal provided on the pedestal, and the figure body protrudes upward from the four corners of the pedestal. Part is formed, and the tip of the projecting part and the corner part of the pedestal are formed so as to constitute the apex of the cube, so that the appearance is a figure body fixed on the pedestal. Since the tip of the base and the pedestal make up the eight vertices of the cube, it is not known in what state it will stop like a dice when rolled, so by simply reflecting the resting state in the game It is possible to build visually interesting game tools that are not quantitative displays.
