Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to a table curling stone. Background Art
[0002] Tabletop curling is an indoor leisure game that simulates the sport of curling, allowing people to experience the fun of curling indoors. Existing tabletop curling typically consists of a game surface, a curling stone model, and a scoring device. Players push the curling stone model across a specially designed surface to aim at the target area and score.
[0003] The typical process of existing tabletop curling games is as follows: players push a curling stone from the starting area, causing it to glide across the smooth surface. The stone's weight and the special material of its base create a sliding effect similar to that of real curling. Finally, scores are calculated based on the stone's resting position. This simple, intuitive gameplay method is easy to learn and attracts early players.
[0004] However, existing tabletop curling has significant limitations. The primary issue is that the game lacks sustained interest. After a period of use, players can easily become fatigued by the single, single-point scoring model. The game's overly simple rules and gameplay, lacking variety and challenge, make it difficult to maintain long-term player interest. Utility Model Content
[0005] The utility model aims to provide a tabletop curling stone, wherein two curling stones are connected to each other, thereby obtaining a variety of curling stone pushing modes and improving the fun.
[0006] The above technical objectives of the present invention are achieved through the following technical solutions:
[0007] A tabletop curling device comprises a curling ball; a bracket fixedly connected to the top of the curling ball; and a push rod fixedly connected to one side of the top of the bracket; a mounting groove is provided inside one end of the push rod; a magnet is fixedly provided in the mounting groove, and the magnet matches the shape of the mounting groove.
[0008] The utility model is further configured as follows: a suction cup is provided at the end of the push rod.
[0009] The utility model is further configured as follows: the suction cup is in a truncated cone shape, and the middle portion is hollowed out to expose the magnet.
[0010] The utility model is further configured as follows: two table curling stones are connected to each other through magnets and suction cups at the ends of push rods to form a curling stone combination.
[0011] The utility model is further configured as follows: the suction cups of the two table curling stones abut against each other and generate attraction through squeezing.
[0012] The utility model is further configured such that the magnets of the two table curling stones abut against each other and generate attraction.
[0013] In summary, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:
[0014] The dual-curling stone connection mechanism solves the problems of traditional tabletop curling games being monotonous and difficult to maintain in interest. The dual fixation using a combination of magnets and suction cups allows the two curling stones to be securely connected to form a combination with a larger striking surface, providing new gameplay and more strategic options. The structural bracket and push rod design ensures ease of operation, while the magnets in the mounting slots combined with the frustum-shaped hollow suction cup design enable fast and stable connection and separation between the curling stones, overcoming the limitations and aesthetic fatigue of the traditional single-pushing scoring mode. It can sustain players' interest in the game, while expanding the product's application scenarios and target user groups, achieving the technical goal of enhancing the fun and playability of tabletop curling games.

[0018] Figure numerals: 1, curling ball; 2, bracket; 3, push rod; 4, mounting slot; 5, magnet; 6, suction cup. DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0019] In the description of the present invention, it should be understood that the terms "center", "longitudinal", "lateral", "length", "width", "thickness", "up", "down", "front", "back", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "page", "bottom", "inside", "outside", "clockwise", "counterclockwise", etc., indicating the orientation or position relationship, are based on the orientation or position relationship shown in the accompanying drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing the present invention and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operate in a specific orientation, and therefore cannot be understood as a limitation on the present invention.
[0020] Furthermore, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be understood to indicate or imply relative importance or to implicitly indicate the quantity of the technical features indicated. Thus, a feature specified as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of the features.
[0021] In the description of this utility model, "plurality" means two or more, unless otherwise clearly defined. In this utility model, unless otherwise clearly defined and defined, the terms "installed," "connected," "connected," "fixed," etc. should be understood in a broad sense. For example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be a direct connection, an indirect connection through an intermediate medium, or it can be internal communication between two components. For those skilled in the art, the specific meanings of the above terms in this utility model can be understood according to the specific circumstances.
[0022] The present invention will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0023] like Figure 1-Figure 3 As shown, a tabletop curling game includes a curling puck 1. A bracket 2 is connected to the top of the curling puck 1. A push rod 3 is fixedly connected to one side of the top of the bracket 2. During the game, the push rod 3 is held by the user to apply a thrust to the curling puck 1, causing the curling puck 1 to move and hit a target.
[0024] One end of the push rod 3 is internally provided with a mounting slot 4. A magnet 5 is fixedly mounted within the mounting slot 4. The shape of the magnet 5 matches the shape of the mounting slot 4. When the magnets 5 of two curling stones abut against each other, an attractive force is generated, connecting the two stones and achieving a preliminary fixation.
[0025] A suction cup 6 is also provided at the end of the push rod 3. This cup 6 is truncated cone-shaped, with a hollow center to expose the magnet 5. During use, the suction cups 6 on the two curling stones are brought close together. Once they abut, they squeeze together, attracting each other and securing the two stones. At this point, the two magnets 5 attract each other, further securing the stones.
[0026] Under the above setting, the two curling stones are connected to each other, thereby obtaining a curling stone combination with a larger striking surface, thereby changing the game scoring mode and improving the overall playability and fun.
[0027] The dual curling stone connection mechanism solves the problems of traditional desktop curling games being monotonous and difficult to maintain in interest. The dual fixation using a combination of magnet 5 and suction cup 6 allows the two curling stones to be firmly connected to form a combination with a larger striking surface, providing new gameplay and more strategic options. The structural design of the bracket 2 and push rod 3 ensures ease of operation, while the magnet 5 in the mounting slot 4 combined with the frustum-shaped hollow suction cup 6 achieves fast and stable connection and separation between the curling stones, overcoming the limitations and aesthetic fatigue of the traditional single-pushing scoring mode, and can sustain the player's interest in the game. At the same time, it expands the product's application scenarios and target user groups, achieving the technical goal of enhancing the fun and playability of desktop curling games.
[0028] This specific embodiment is merely an explanation of the present invention and is not a limitation of the present invention. After reading this specification, those skilled in the art may make non-creative modifications to the present embodiment as needed. However, as long as they are within the scope of the claims of the present invention, they are protected by patent law.
