Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to a gyroscope game board. Background Technology

[0002] Previously, as a spinning top game board used in combination with spinning tops, the game board disclosed in Patent Document 1 is known.

[0003] Patent Document 1: Chinese Patent CN218357323U

[0004] The spinning top game board includes: a base forming a playing field for the spinning top to run on; and side panels surrounding the base. Furthermore, to reduce the size of the spinning top game board during packaging, the side panels are composed of multiple side panel parts (side plates). During use, the multiple side plates are joined to the edge of the base, and the side panels can be detached from the base if necessary.

[0005] However, in a spinning top game board, not only do the sides take up a large area, but the base also takes up a large area. Therefore, if the base can also be miniaturized, it will be easier to carry and store.

[0006] This invention was made in view of such circumstances, and its purpose is to provide a gyroscope game board that can be compacted when not in use. Utility Model Content

[0007] The first type of spinning top game board provided by this utility model comprises: a base forming a playing field for spinning tops to run and generate rotational force; and a side panel erected relative to the base to prevent the spinning tops from flying off the base; wherein, the base is composed of multiple base parts that can be linked and dislinked; the multiple base parts are linked to form the base and can be stacked on top of each other in the thickness direction by dislinking; the side panel is composed of multiple side panel parts that can be linked and dislinked; the multiple side panel parts are linked to form the side panel and can be stacked in an inverted state relative to the stacked multiple base parts by dislinking.

[0008] The second type of gyroscope game board provided by this utility model is based on the first type of gyroscope game board, wherein the multiple base parts are folded together after being disconnected from each other.

[0009] The third type of spinning top game board provided by this utility model is based on the second type of spinning top game board. The base is composed of two base parts, which are folded together by disengaging the linkage and folding them in the direction that brings the back sides of the two base parts closer to each other.

[0010] The fourth type of spinning top game board provided by this utility model is based on the second type of spinning top game board, wherein the multiple side parts are arranged in one or more groups, and the side parts that make up each group are stacked by folding.

[0011] The fifth type of spinning top game board provided by this utility model is based on the third type of spinning top game board, wherein the multiple side parts correspond to the two base parts and form groups respectively; the side parts constituting each group are foldable, and each side part after folding is further foldable to correspond to the corresponding base part.

[0012] The sixth type of spinning top game board provided by this utility model is based on the fifth type of spinning top game board, wherein the side panel is a planar rectangle in the upright state; the side panel part constituting each group includes: a pair of first side panel parts that are parallel to and opposite to each other with the crease of the base, and a pair of second side panel parts that are perpendicular to and opposite to each other with the crease; in each group, the second side panel part is connected to the first side panel part in a foldable manner.

[0013] The seventh type of spinning top game board provided by this utility model is based on the sixth type of spinning top game board, wherein the free end of the second side part can be connected to the first side part of other groups.

[0014] The eighth type of spinning top game board provided by this utility model is based on the seventh type of spinning top game board. In the state where the two base parts are folded and the first side part is folded into the base part, the first side parts can be connected to each other.

[0015] The ninth type of spinning top game board provided by this utility model is based on the eighth type of spinning top game board, wherein the first side part has a bent portion that bends in a direction perpendicular to the crease at each end of the long side; when the first side part is folded onto the base part, the bent portion of the first side part of one side part abuts against the bent portion of the first side part of the other side part.

[0016] The tenth type of gyroscope game board provided by this utility model is based on any one of the sixth to ninth types of gyroscope game boards, with two base parts connected in a foldable manner by a hinge provided below; the hinge forms a first grounding part that is grounded when the gyroscope game board is set; the first side part forms a second grounding part that is grounded when the gyroscope game board is set.

[0017] According to this embodiment, since the chassis is composed of multiple chassis parts, which are interconnected and deinterlocked, the chassis parts can be stacked together in the thickness direction by deinterlocking. The side panels are composed of multiple side panel parts that are interconnected and deinterlocked, and can be stacked in an inverted state relative to the stacked chassis parts by deinterlocking. Therefore, the gyroscope game board is easy to carry and store. Attached Figure Description

[0031] The following description, based on the accompanying drawings, describes the gyroscope game board according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0032] Figure 1 This is a perspective view of the gyroscope game board 100 according to the implementation method.

[0033] The spinning top game board 100 is made of plastic, for example, and has a base 20 that forms a field 20a for the spinning top 10 to run on.

[0034] (Chassis 20)

[0035] Figure 2 This is an exploded 3D diagram of the Spinning Top Game Panel 100. Figure 3This is a perspective view of the spinning top game board 100 as seen from the bottom side. The base 20 is square in top view, with a roughly circular playing area 20a formed in the center of the top, inscribed within the outer edge of the square base 20. The playing area 20a is a disc-shaped concave surface, deeper in the center and higher at the edges. Steps exist at the edges of the playing area 20a, and an acceleration track 21, composed of racks and pinions, is provided at the stepped portion. The acceleration track 21 restricts the range of motion of the spinning top 10 and accelerates the movement of the spinning top 10 when it comes into contact with the track.

[0036] Additionally, pockets 22, which are triangular in shape when viewed from above, are formed at the four corners of the base 20. These pockets 22 are configured to accommodate spinning tops 10 that are launched from the arena 20a during spinning top battles.

[0037] Figure 4 This is a bottom view of the Gyro Game Panel 100.

[0038] The lower part of the chassis 20 is complementary to the upper part of the chassis 20. That is, in the lower part of the chassis 20, the portion corresponding to the concave portion in the upper part is a convex portion, and the portion corresponding to the convex portion in the upper part is a concave portion. However, the chassis 20 may also have a shape that is not complementary to the upper part of the chassis 20.

[0039] The chassis 20 consists of two rectangular chassis sections 23a and 23a viewed from above. These two chassis sections 23a and 23a are connected to each other by two hinges 24 and 24 located on the underside of the chassis 20. The two hinges 24 and 24 are mounted flush with each other on the underside of the chassis 20 via a base. Furthermore, the chassis sections 23a and 23a can be folded together along the direction that brings their bottom surfaces closer together, via these hinges 24. However, the chassis 20 can also be foldable by connecting the chassis sections 23a and 23a to each other using hinges or similar components located on the edges. Alternatively, the chassis 20 can be composed of three or more chassis sections, forming a foldable structure that unfolds and interconnects to create a playing field. It should be noted that the acceleration track 21 is also divided into two parts corresponding to the chassis sections 23a and 23a.

[0040] (Wall 30)

[0041] The outer edge of the chassis 20 is a wall 30 that hangs downward around the entire circumference. The wall 30 is composed of wall portions 31a and 31a that are divided into two parts corresponding to the two chassis portions 23a and 23a of the chassis 20.

[0042] Figure 5 This is the main view of the Gyro Game Panel 100.

[0043] The lower end of wall 30 (wall portions 31a, 31a) is at the same height as the lower end of site 20a. Furthermore, chassis portions 23a, 23a are interconnected by two hinges 24 located below the lower end of wall 30. (As...) Figure 6As shown, a fan-shaped grounding part 24a (first grounding part) fixed to one side of the blade 24b is attached to the hinge 24.

[0044] Although not shown in the diagram, the mounting positions of the hinges 24 on the underside of each chassis 23a are provided with bosses for screwing the hinges 24, and frames surrounding these bosses from all sides for mounting the hinges 24, so that the hinge pins of the two hinges 24 below the lower end of the wall 30 are aligned in a straight line. When the chassis portion 23a is folded, the grounding part 24a is housed within the frame on the side of the blade 24c. The grounding part 24a is used when the gyroscope game board 100 is installed. The function of this grounding part 24a will be described later.

[0045] (Side circumference 40)

[0046] The side enclosure 40 is used to prevent the gyroscope 10 from flying out. When the gyroscope 10 is upright relative to the base 20, it is roughly the same shape as the base 20 when viewed from above. That is, the side enclosure 40 is roughly square when viewed from above.

[0047] Specifically, such as Figure 2 As shown, the side panel 40 is composed of the following parts: a pair of side panel parts 41a, 41a that are parallel to the crease of the chassis 20 and opposite each other across the field 20a; and a pair of side panel parts 41b, 41b that are perpendicular to the crease and opposite each other across the chassis 20.

[0048] Furthermore, by linking a pair of side wall portions 41a, 41a with a pair of side wall portions 41b, 41b, a side wall 40 is formed, which surrounds the area 20a of the chassis 20.

[0049] The side portion 41a has an inwardly curved buckling portion 410a at each end along its long side. That is, each side portion 41a as a whole is U-shaped when viewed from above.

[0050] Furthermore, one end (base end) of the long side of the side panel 41a is connected to one end of the side panel 41b via a pin 42. Also, the side panel 41b can be folded inwards towards the inner surface of the connected side panel 41a.

[0051] Each of the pair of side circumference portions 41a, 41a corresponds to a separate chassis portion 23a, and the lower end of the buckling portion 410a is connected by a pin 43 (see reference). Figure 2 It is connected to the side of the wall portion 31a of the chassis portion 23a (the wall 30 on the short side). Furthermore, each side portion 41a can rotate about the pin 43, so that it can stand up or lie down relative to the corresponding chassis portion 23a.

[0052] like Figure 5As shown, when the side panel 41a is erected relative to the corresponding chassis portion 23a, its base protrudes downwards from the corresponding chassis portion 23a and touches the ground, serving as a support to hold the chassis portion 23a at a certain height. It should be noted that... Figure 5 In the attached drawing, reference numeral 411a indicates a grounding portion (second grounding portion) formed on the underside of each end of the long side of the side panel 41a. That is, grounding portions 411a are provided at the four corners of the underside of the gyroscope game disk 100. By simultaneously grounding through these four corner grounding portions 411a, the gyroscope game disk 100 is properly positioned. With the gyroscope game disk 100 properly positioned, the grounding portion 24a of the hinge 24 can also be grounded.

[0053] Furthermore, when the corresponding side panel portion 41b is folded inward, the side panel portion 41a collapses (falls down) relative to the surface of the corresponding chassis portion 23a and is folded into the chassis portion 23a. At this time, the inner surface of the buckled portion 410a at each end of each side panel portion 41a abuts against the outer surface of the wall 30 on the short side of the corresponding chassis portion 23a.

[0054] On the outer side of the bent portion 410a at the other end of each of the side portions 41a, 41a along the long side direction, two stop portions 44 are provided vertically. On the other hand, on the outer side of the bent portion 410a at one end of each of the side portions 41a, 41a along the long side direction, two stopped portions 45 are provided corresponding to the two stop portions 44 (see reference). Figure 2 Additionally, at the free end of the side panel portion 41b, a stopped portion 45 is provided corresponding to the upper stop portion 44 (see reference). Figure 2 When the free end of the side enclosure 41b is connected to the side enclosure 41a to put the gyroscope game disk 100 into an unfolded state (use state), the stopped portion 45 and the stopped portion 44 provided at the free end of the side enclosure 41b correspond to each other. When the side enclosures 41a are connected to each other to put the gyroscope game disk 100 into a retracted state, the stopped portion 45 and the stopped portion 44 provided at one end of the side enclosure 41a correspond to each other. That is, for each stopped portion 45 provided at one end of the side enclosure 41a and the free end of the side enclosure 41b, the stopped portion 44 provided at the other end of the side enclosure 41a can be shared.

[0055] Figure 7 This is a front view showing the structure of the stop part 44.

[0056] The stop portion 44 includes a guide rail 46a extending in the vertical direction. A stop slider 46b with a C-shaped cross-section is engaged on the guide rail 46a, and the stop slider 46b can move within a predetermined range along the guide rail 46a extending in the vertical direction. A cutout 46d is formed in the extending direction of the guide rail 46a, in which a portion of the guide rail 46a has been removed. A stop block 46e is provided on the lower side of the cutout 46d to stop the movement of the stop slider 46b.

[0057] Figure 8 This is a cross-sectional view showing the stopping structure of the stop part 44 and the stopped part 45.

[0058] The stopped portion 45 is formed in the shape of a hook (L-shape). The stopped portion 45 is inserted into the cut 46d. The stopped portion 45 is stopped by moving the stop slider 46b along the guide rail 46a to the position of the cut 46d.

[0059] In the embodiments, the situations in which the stop portion 45 is embedded in the cut 46d include: when the free end of the side portion 41b is connected to the side portion 41a to put the gyroscope game disk 100 in an unfolded state (use state), and when the side portions 41a are connected to each other to put the gyroscope game disk 100 in a retracted state.

[0060] like Figure 4 As shown, a handle 50 is mounted on the underside of one side of the chassis portion 23a via a pin 50a. The handle 50 is pulled out to the outside of the chassis portion 23a by rotating about the pin 50a (see reference). Figure 13 The thickness of the handle 50 is preferably such that when the spinning game disc 100 is unfolded and stored under the base 20, it does not protrude downwards toward the wall 30 or the grounding part 411a and the grounding part 24a.

[0061] (Folding method)

[0062] Next, an example of the folding method of the spinning top game board 100 will be explained.

[0063] First, by being in use ( Figure 1 In the state of the spinning top game disk 100, the stop slider 46b of the upper stop part 44 moves to the stop release position, releasing the stop of the stop part 44 on the side part 41b of the stopped part 45. Then, as Figure 9 As shown, the side panel 41b is folded towards the inner surface of the corresponding side panel 41a. The folded state is as follows. Figure 10 As shown. Next, as Figure 11 As shown, the side panels 41a, 41a are folded toward the surface of the chassis 20.

[0064] After that, as Figure 12As shown, fold the chassis 20 in half along the direction that brings the bottom surfaces of the chassis portions 23a, 23a closer together. At this time, pull out the handle 50 from the back of the chassis 20. After folding, engage the two stop portions 44, 44 of the side panel portion 41a with the two stop portions 45, 45 of the other side panel portion 41a, and then flip the entire assembly over. Thus, as... Figure 13 As shown, the spinning top game board 100 transforms into a box shape.

[0065] (Transformation into the usage state)

[0066] In this case, the steps are roughly the reverse of the folding described above. However, the order is not limited to this. In short, it is important that each grounding part 411a of the pair of side portions 41a is grounded simultaneously, and that the side portions 41a and 41b are linked.

[0067] like Figure 10 In the illustrated state, when the spinning game board 100 is placed on the ground and an attempt is made to stand the side panels 41a upright, preferably at least towards the end of the side panels 41a being stood up, the grounding portion 24a of the hinge 24 protrudes downward and grounds; more preferably, the inner ends of the base portions 23a, 23a are separated from each other. With this configuration, since the grounding portion 24a of the hinge 24 protrudes downward, unless both side panels 41a are fully erected and each grounding portion 411a is grounded, the grounding portion 24a of the hinge 24 and only one side of each grounding portion 411a of the pair of side panels 41a will be unstablely grounded. Therefore, unless both side panels 41a are fully erected, it cannot be used as a spinning game board 100. Furthermore, towards the end of the side panels 41a being erected, the inner ends of the base portions 23a, 23a are separated from each other and the base portions 23a, 23a are tilted, making it physically difficult to play and unusable as a spinning game board 100. In addition, the risk of accidental firing is easily noticeable visually, which can effectively prevent the gyroscope 10 from firing in this state.

[0068] It should be noted that, in cases such as Figure 10 In the state shown, when the gyroscope game board 100 is set up and an attempt is made to make the side part 41a stand up, it can also be configured such that unless the side part 41a is fully stood up, the side part 41a will fall onto the surface of the base part 23a due to its own weight or elasticity.

[0069] (Effects of the Example)

[0070] Because the two base sections 23a and 23a can be folded, and the side sections 41a and 41b can overlap on the base section 23a, the spinning top game board 100 is easy to carry and store.

[0071] Because the overlapping side sections 41a and 41b fold toward the surface of the chassis section 23a, they can be deformed very easily.

[0072] The base end of the side wall portion 41b is connected to the side wall portion 41a in a manner that allows it to fold toward the side wall portion 41a, and the free end can be connected to other side wall portions 41a, thus achieving a high-strength side wall 40.

[0073] The side portion 41a has a bent portion 410a at each end in the long side direction that bends in a direction perpendicular to the crease. When the side portion 41a is folded toward the surface of the chassis portion 23a, the bent portion 410a of one side portion 41a can connect with the bent portion 410a of the other side portion 41a, thus facilitating operation in the folded-down form.

[0074] (Modified Example)

[0075] In the above embodiment, the gyroscope game board 100 has a foldable structure that does not require disassembly, but it can also be a structure in which the side panels can be detached from the chassis. In this case, the detachable side panels can be a foldable structure or a structure that can be disassembled into multiple parts. Although there is no particular limitation, it is preferable to have a structure in which the multiple disassembled side panel parts can overlap.

[0076] Furthermore, in the above embodiment, when folding the chassis 20, the side panel 40 is folded outwards towards the chassis portion 23a. However, a space can also be formed on the inner side of the chassis portion 23a, allowing it to fold inwards towards the chassis portion 23a. In this case, it can be configured such that the side panel can be detached from the chassis, and the detached side panel has a foldable or disassembleable structure, allowing the folded or disassembled side panel to be stored within the space.

[0077] Furthermore, in the above embodiment, the side panel 41b is configured to be folded towards the side panel 41a and then towards the chassis 20. However, the side panel 41b can also be connected to the chassis 20 via a hinge, allowing it to be folded directly towards the chassis 20. In this case, it is preferable that when the side panel 41b is erected, it is engaged with the adjacent side panel 41a or side panel 41b by, for example, a tongue-and-groove fitting structure or a locking structure similar to that in the embodiment.

[0078] Furthermore, in the above embodiment, the side panel 40 is made of plastic sheet material, but it can also be a structure in which a mesh made of synthetic resin is attached to multiple supports. In this case, it can be configured such that the mesh can be detached from the supports, the supports can be folded toward the chassis, or the mesh and supports can be detached from the chassis together. Further, it can also be configured such that the mesh and supports can be detached separately.

[0079] Alternatively, only the side portion 41b perpendicular to the crease can be set as a mesh.

[0080] Furthermore, in the above embodiment, buckling portions 410a are provided on each side of the side wall portions 41a. When the folding chassis 20 is constructed and the side wall portions 41a are folded toward the chassis 20, the buckling portions 410a of a pair of side wall portions 41a abut against each other. However, buckling portions 410a may not be provided. In this case, the connection between the pair of side wall portions 41a in the folded state can be achieved by hook-shaped hooks or by straps.

[0081] Furthermore, in the above embodiment, the hinge 24 is located below the chassis 20, but the chassis portions 23a can also be connected to each other in a foldable manner by a pin provided on one side wall 30 of the chassis portion 23a.

[0082] Furthermore, in the above embodiment, the side panel 41a can be manually raised towards the chassis 20 during use, but a spring can also be used to apply a spring force to the side panel 41a in the raising direction, and the side panel 41a can be moved by overcoming this spring force when folding.
