A specified embodiment of a floor mechanism for game devices 100 is explained hereinafter with reference to the accompanying drawings.
And a floor sheet 124 is supported with airtight condition to the frame 120. For example, a floor sheet support member 122 for supporting the floor sheet 124 is formed by board member, the floor sheet support member 122 is horizontally fixed to the floor, on frame 120. The floor sheet support member 122 have an opening formed in the given point. And a floor sheet 124 is airtightly supported around the floor sheet support member 122. In the present embodiment, as shown in
Furthermore, an air sending means such as a blower 126 for sending out air within the floor sheet 124 is provided to the frame 120. In the present embodiment, the blower 126 is fixed outside of the frame 120. And the floor sheet support member 122 is provided with a small hole for sending air to above floor sheet 124 from the blower 126. The air outlet provided to the blower 126 can couple to the small hole by an air flowpath, The floor mechanism for game devices 100 is configured by forming the floor sheet 124 as described above.
The liquids such as water are put into the space formed by floor sheet 124 and floor sheet support member 122, a plurality of small ball can be put on the surface of the water. The floor sheet 124 employed raw material of the translucency in the present example. By configuring as above, the floor sheet 124 is expanded by sending out air to the space formed by the floor sheet 124 and floor sheet support member 122 by blower 126. Users can jump up and down on the floor sheet blown by sending air while viewing the small ball floating on water because the floor sheet 124 is formed of translucent raw material as described above.
Furthermore, the water bag formed by injecting liquids such as the water into transparence sheet formed in the bag shape can be inserted within above floor sheet 124. At this time, by adjusting quantity of air outgoing of blower 126, when users step on the floor sheet 124, the air capacity in floor sheet 124 is kept so that the users touch the water bag. The floor mechanism for game devices as configured above can give a feeling as if the users play with water.
Furthermore, as shown in
Alternatively, as shown in
It is desirable that the floor sheet support member 122 can be formed of elastic organ when the bag shape floor sheet 124 is employed. This is because it can prevent the bag shape floor sheet 124 is swollen downward. In accordance with exemplary embodiments, as shown in
The bag shape floor sheet 124 is placed on the net member 122a of frame 120 configured as above. Of course a blower 126 for sending air to the baa shape floor sheet 124 is provided to any of the frame 120, Furthermore, as shown in
The floor sheet 124 can be formed by laminating two pieces of sheets with different modulus of elasticity. Here, a modulus of elasticity is a proportion coefficient showing relationship between distortion and stress, it is physical properties showing the resistance for disruption. The material that elastic modulus is high and, the material which have small distortion regarding stress, is referred to as being relatively hard material, the material that elastic modulus is low is referred to as being relatively soft material. That is, when elastic modulus is high, the material is hard to distort. The floor sheet 124 is formed by stacking the two above sheets. That is the floor sheet 124 is formed by placing the sheet with high elastic modulus to the outside that is upside position and by placing the sheet with low elastic modulus to the inside that is downside position, among different sheet of the elastic modulus. Deformation of the floor sheet 124 can be lowered even if large quantities of air from blower is sent because the sheet with low elastic modulus is protected by the sheet with high elastic modulus.
A plurality of the floor mechanism for game devices 100 as described above, can be provided. On this occasion, one air sending means can send out air to all floors sheet 124 by airtightly connecting the airtight space formed by each floor sheet 124 and frame 120.
In the preferred embodiment 1, the fixing member or wall 129 is placed to the floor sheet support member 122, and air is sent into the space formed by the wall part 129 and floor sheet 124. Furthermore air is sent into the bag shape floor sheet 124 formed by the floor sheet 124 into bag shape. In the present embodiment, referring to
At first an open topped boxiness floor sheet 144 as shown in
As long as the edge of the flat sheet is a standing state, a boxiness floor sheet 144 can be configured by forming the erected sheet by welding a belt-shaped sheet on the edge of the flat sheet. Furthermore, the erected sheet 144a can be formed in the position spaced from an edge of the flat sheet. As discussed below, the outside of the corners of the boxiness floor sheet 144 is put inside of the corners of the frame 120. Therefore, as shown in
The boxiness floor sheet 144 configured as above is sandwiched in the upper of the inside of the corner of frame 120. For example, in the present example as shown in
In above configuration, we explained about configuration of fixing the boxiness floor sheet 144 to the top view rectangle shaped frame 120 In the configuration, configuration for fixing the boxiness floor sheet 144 in the top view rectangle frame 120 was explained, however the frame 120 can be a shape except rectangle. For example, various shapes of the frame 120 can be used such as a top view triangle shape or a top view pentagon shape. The boxiness floor sheet 144 is configured by forming the erected sheet 144a on the flat sheet to the position corresponding to the shape of the frame 120. Furthermore, the boxiness floor sheet 144 is fixed to inside of the corners of the frame 120 shaped above by an angle type clamp 145 having the angle corresponding to the inside of the corners of the frame 120 shaped above, As described above, airtight space is formed of the boxiness floor sheet 144 and the side surface members by fixing the boxiness floor sheet 144 to inside of the corners of the frame 120. Steam-tight space can be formed by fixing the inside of corner of the boxiness floor sheet 144 to the outside of the corners of the frame 120,
The bottom face can be provided in the airtight space configured above. For example, as shown in
In preferred embodiment 2, the fixing member or wall 129 is placed to the floor sheet support member 122, air is sent into the space formed by the wall part 129 and floor sheet. Furthermore air is sent into the bag shape floor sheet 124 formed by the floor sheet 124 into bag shape. In this exemplary embodiment, we further explain about a floor mechanism for game devices 100 using the floor sheet 124, with reference to
As shown in
In the present embodiment, a plurality of ball is placed in the space formed by the floor sheet and floor sheet support member 122. Furthermore, a ball cycling blower 126a is placed in the lower parts of the floor sheet support member 122, air is sent out to the center of the floor sheet. And the plurality of ball is circulated through by sending of air by the ball cycling blower 126a. That is, the ball circulates through the floor sheet by sending of air from the cycling blower 126a when the ball approaches the neighborhood of the center. Of course, an opening for receiving the air stream from the cycling blower 126a is formed to the floor sheet and floor sheet support member 122 Furthermore, balls in the floor sheet 124 become easy to gather in center of the floor sheet 124 by forming the floor sheet support member sloping to the center. For example, the slope can be easily configured by forming the floor sheet support member 122 using net.
Alternatively, a plurality of ball is placed in the bag shape floor sheet for forming the floor sheet by two pieces of sheet, Again in this case, the plurality of ball circulates by the air stream of the ball cycling blower 126a placed in the lower part of the floor sheet support member as above. Of course, an opening for receiving the air stream from the cycling blower is formed to the floor sheet and floor sheet support member 122
The ball 250 in floor sheet 124 can circulate wildly by using the ball cycling mechanism 200 as shown in FIG, 7 (A). That is, the ball cycling mechanism 200 of this present example includes an air sending device such as blower 126, and a flowpath. The flowpath comprises an air outlet side flowpath 220 for directly receiving a flow of air sent out by the air outlet of blower 126, comprises a bail receiving side flowpath 230 for receiving the ball 250 in the floor sheet 124, and comprises a ball sending side flowpath 240 for ejecting the ball 250 received by the bail receiving side flowpath 230 to the floor sheet 124.
Of course, among the flowpath, it is necessary for cycling to comprise the inside diameter that ball 250 which wants to make made to float about wildly can pass to floor seat 124 as for at least ball acceptance side stream road 230 and ball sending area flowpath 240. Each flowpath should be able to pass a flow of the air from air sending area flowpath 220, and each flowpath does not have to communicate mutually. That is, each flowpath can be placed at specified distance.
In the present embodiment, an air sending side flowpath 220 sent out from the blower 126 and a ball sending side flowpath 240 are linked into a linear shape, and a small flowpath continuously connects to the linear shaped flowpath as the ball acceptance side flowpath 230. Furthermore, without continuously connecting with the air sending side flowpath 220 and the ball sending side flowpath 240, the ball sending side flowpath 240 is next to the outlet of the air sending side flowpath 220 with the condition that is squeezed so that outlet side opening diameter of the air sending side flowpath 220 became small. Force of the air from the blower 126 is increased by reducing the outlet side opening diameter of the air sending side flowpath 220. Flow of the air from blower 126 can be enlarged by the outlet side of air sending side flowpath 220 adjoining the entrance side of bat sending side flowpath 240. The ball cycling mechanism 200 is configured by comprising the air sending side flowpath 220, ball sending side flowpath 240, and the ball receiving side flowpath 230 for the blower 126. The blower 126 for sending out air to the floor sheet 124 is required, in addition to the blower 126 provided to the ball cycling mechanism 200.
The ball cycling mechanism 200 configured as above is placed below the floor sheet 124. In accordance with exemplary embodiments, as shown in
In preferred embodiment 1, the fixing member or wall 129 is placed to the floor sheet support member 122, air is sent into the space formed by the wall part 129 and floor sheet. Furthermore the space is formed in the bag shape floor sheet 124 formed by the floor sheet 124 into bag shape. In the present embodiment, a floor mechanism for game devices 100 capable of making a fountain within the floor sheet 124 is further explained with reference to
1. About the configuration other than using the fountain mechanism, because it is the same as the floor sheet for game device of the detailed description of the preferred embodiment 1 and detailed description of the preferred embodiment 2, illustration and description is omitted.
A fountain is created while circulating water in the floor sheet 124 by using a fountain cycling mechanism 300 as shown in
A fountain cycling mechanism 300 as described above is placed below the floor sheet 124. For preventing a water leak, above fountain cycling mechanism 300 is placed in the airtight space formed by the two pieces of stacked transparence sheet. In accordance with exemplary embodiments, as shown in
Of course a liquid entrance and exit opening is opened in the neighborhood of the center of the floor sheet support member 122. The floor sheet 124 is placed on the floor sheet support member 124, air sent out from the blower 126 provided to the frame 120 used in the detailed description of the preferred embodiment 1 is sent out to the floor sheet 124. Therefore, the fountain occurs in the floor sheet 124 by sending out liquid sent out from the submersible pump 320 into the floor sheet 124.
An entrance and exit opening for receiving liquid from the submersible pump 320 is formed in neighborhood of the center of the floor sheet 124. The floor sheet can be the bag shape floor sheet formed by two pieces of sheet formed into bag shape. Furthermore, as shown in
In preferred embodiment 1, the fixing member or wail 129 is placed to the floor sheet support member 122, air is sent into the space formed by the wall part 129 and floor sheet. Furthermore the space is formed in the bag shape floor sheet 124 formed by the floor sheet 124 into bag shape. In the present embodiment, a balloon 356, a ball or soap bubbles generator 350 is placed below the floor sheet 124, the configuration of stirring the balloon 356, ball or soap bubbles 358 is explained with reference to
As shown in
Air is filled in the airtight space by sending air from outside into the airtight space formed as described above. In the present embodiment, air is sent into the airtight space by using an air sending means of the blower 126 etc. As described above, when the floor sheet 124 expanded by sending the air by the blower 126, the condition in the airtight space becomes almost a calm air because there are few air streams by the blower 126. Therefore, a cycling body such as balloon 356 balls, the soap bubbles 358, etc can be easily circulated by creating the air stream in the airtight space.
For example, in the case of the balloon 356 of the cycling body, large number of the balloons 356 of various sizes is placed on the floor (the bottom face member placed on the bottom surface of the airtight space is enough). And the blowers 355 such as electric fans is placed on the position where an air stream occurs in the neighboring corner from one corner, in the rectangular frame 120 from top view. When the floor sheet 124 expands by the floor sheet 124 filled with air stream by blower 126, the large number of balloons 356 placed on the floor circulate wildly by the air stream from the blower 355. In the case of the cycling body of a ball, above configuration can be employed.
For example, in the case of a cycling body of soap bubbles 358, the soap bubbles generator 350 is placed on the floor (the bottom surface member placed on the bottom surface of the airtight space is enough). In the present embodiment, a soap bubbles generator 350 as shown in the following is used. A soap liquid reservoir 353 for storing the soap liquid is prepared. The net body 351 (the net of the size capable of forming bubbles of the desired size is used) of any shape is rotatably sustained at the high the net body soaks in soap liquid in soap liquid reservoir 353. In the present embodiment, circular net body 351 is prepared, a perpendicular shaft to the plane of the net body 351 is provided to the center of the net body. The shaft is arranged no that the net body 351 rotates in the shaft center. The shaft is rotatably held in the upper part of the soap liquid reservoir 353, the shaft rotates by a driving means 357 such as motors. The net body 351 in the soap liquid reservoir 353 rotates by the shaft rotating by the driving means 357, and the net body 351 soaks in soap liquid in soap liquid reservoir 353. Furthermore, the soap bubbles generator 350 of this invention is configured by the blowers 355 such as fans placed in the position sending air to the plane of the net body 351.
The soap bubbles generator 350 configured as above is placed in the floor surface of the airtight space. And above blower is placed on the position where an air stream by the fan 355 provided to the bubbles generator occurs in the neighboring corner from one corner, in the rectangular frame 120 from top view. A floor mechanism for game devices 100 of the present example is configured by above configuration.
In preferred embodiment 1, the fixing member or wall 129 is placed to the floor sheet support member 122, air is sent into the space formed by the wall part 129 and floor sheet. Furthermore the space is formed in the bag shape floor sheet 124 formed by the floor sheet 124 into bag shape. In the present embodiment, the floor mechanism for game devices 100 using the floor sheet 124 which injected liquids such as the water is explained with reference to
The floor sheet 124 comprising water bag 124a shown in
As shown in
The floor sheet 124 with the water bag configured as above is placed on the frame 120. And, liquids such as the water are filled in the water bag 124a provided to the floor sheet 124 with water bag, The reason filling the liquid in the water bag 124a is that the weight is added to the water bag 124a for getting clean line around the water bag 124a and for adding the convexoconcave to the floor sheet surface. Any liquid component and any filling method are used. For example, as shown in
Air is sent to the floor sheet with the water bag 124 by the blower 126 after filling the water bag 124a as described above. The portion of the water bag 124a of the floor sheet 124 expands by liquid or air, and the portion except the water bag 124a of the floor sheet 124 expands by the blower 126. Therefore, the convexoconcave (convex part and concave part) can be formed on the surface of the floor sheet by expanding above floor sheet 124.
The water bag 124a distinguished to a liquid filling part and air filling part, can be formed.
For example, as shown in

The screen 364 projects the image on the back of the screen 364, and the image can be viewed from the front (i.e., above the floor sheet 124). Therefore, the image projected from backside of the screen 364 can be viewed from the front part of the screen 364 by semitransparency screen 364.
A projection device for projecting the image on the screen is installed on the floor of backside of the screen 364. For example, as shown in
The floor mechanism for game devices of the present example is configured by providing the screen 364 and the projection device to the lower part of the floor sheet 124. The backside of the darkened space (the space formed by the screen 364 for image projection, frame 120 and surface members, within the airtight space formed by the floor sheet 124, frame 120 and surface members) can be used to increase the contrast.
In preferred embodiment 1, the fixing member or wall 129 is placed to the floor sheet support member 122, air is sent into the space formed by the wall part 129 and floor sheet. Furthermore the space is formed in the bag shape floor sheet 124 formed by the floor sheet 124 into bag shape. In the present embodiment, by using two pieces of the floor sheet 124, the floor mechanism for game devices 100 placing a lower side floor sheet below the upper side floor sheet 124 is explained with reference to
A floor mechanism for game devices of the present example comprises two pieces of floors sheet 124. For example, as shown in

By configuring in this way, the crank 420 performs up-and-down motion by the rotation of the drive motor, and floor plate 410 performs up-and-down motion around the shaft. Furthermore, the floor sheet 124 is moved up and down, by the floor plate 410 to perform up-and-down motion, Of course the floor sheet 124 is swelled out because air is sent by the blower 126, etc. Thus, the game device (seesaw 400) using a floor mechanism for game devices 100 displaced up and down can be configured in the condition being swelled out by the blower 126.
Of course, without the drive motor, a rotatable shaft by bearings and rectangle floor plate 410 are formed, and the seesaw cab be formed by connecting the shaft substantially to center of the longer direction of the floor plate 410.

By configuring in this way, the floor plate 410 performs up-and-down motion around the shaft by the movement of the user on the seesaw.
Next, a connector for forming a hook (e.g., a hook provided on wall, a fixing member provided to the elastic sheet) on an inner wall of the elastic sheet (e.g., floor sheet 126)used by the floor mechanism for game devices 100 of this invention is explained. The configuration of the frame of the floor mechanism for game devices 100 is the same as detailed description of the preferred embodiment 1, therefore illustration and description is omitted.
An upper connector 510 providing the hook and bottom connector 512 capable of fitting the upper connector 510 are formed. For example, upper connector 510 is formed by fixing a string 514 hung by the hook 516 to rectangular female connector. And a male connector for fitting the female connector is formed as a bottom connector 512. At this time, one pair of male connector is formed, and the size of the bottom connector 512 is regulated so that the upper connector 510 and the bottom connector 512 are engaged in the condition sandwiching the string 514 fixed to the female connector between the pair of the male connectors. The connector 500 is configured by configuring as above. Of course, a male connector is used for the upper connector 510 and may use a female connector for bottom connector 512.
A hook 516 can be formed on the elastic sheet by engaging the each connector configured as above to the elastic sheet. A slit capable of piercing through the hook 516 is formed to the desired point to form the hook 516 to the elastic sheet. And the hook 516 pierces through the slit, the upper connector 510 contact the elastic sheet. That is, the upper connector 510 contact the elastic sheet, in the condition that the string 514 of the upper connector 510 insert into the slit. And a pair of the bottom connector engages to the upper connector 510. At this time, the hook 516 is formed to the elastic sheet by interdigitating the upper connector 510 to the bottom connector 512, in the condition sandwiching the string 514 between the pair of bottom connectors 512.
Furthermore, an air leak prevention valve 610 for preventing leaking air sent to the floor mechanism for game devices 100 can be provided. An air leak prevention valve 610 used in the present embodiment is explained with referring to
The air flow occurs through the direction for lifting the ball 612 when air is sent to the floor mechanism for game devices 100, and the ball 612 of the air leak prevention valve 610 moves upwardly, and clearance between the edges of the air flowpath 600 and the ball 612 is formed. Air through air flowpath 600 is sent from the clearance. On the other hand, air flow occurs through the direction for falling the ball 612 when the air leaks out outside by user playing with the floor mechanism for game devices 100. Therefore, the ball 612 of the air leak prevention valve 610 moves downwardly, and clearance between the edges of the air flowpath 600 and the ball 612 is closed. Therefore, air leak is prevented more Other than the above, a pressure regulating valve for preventing leak of the air, with keeping the pressure of the air in the floor mechanism for game devices 100 constant, by sending out air larger than a predetermined pressure , can be provided to the edge of the air flowpath 600.
Hereinafter present embodiment of the game device using a floor mechanism for game devices 100 of this invention is explained with reference to
FIG, 25 (A) is game device 800 comprising the mechanism (ball cycling mechanism 200) to fly a ball to the floor mechanism for dame devices 100 of this invention.
Present invention is a floor mechanism for game devices, comprising a frame, a floor sheet, and an air suction/sending means. The frame comprises a plurality of strut vertically arranged on the floor and a coupling member for coupling the adjacent of said plurality of struts. The floor sheet is arranged in an air-tight state on the coupling members for the frame; and the air suction/sending means sends air to or sucks air from an air-tight space formed by side surface members provided in the frame, and the floor sheet. The floor mechanism is characterized by forming the air-tight space as a result of the floor sheet being fixed to the frame by a fixing means.
By above configuration, the floor sheet body swells out by sending out air by an air sending means. A floor sheet will be moved up and down by user's jumping over the floor sheet body. The game device which can continue the interest of the user for a long time, can be configured by a floor moving up and down as above.
