(a) Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to a multi-functional intelligent ball disk, and more particularly to a balancing ball disk with four surfaces that provides four different ball rolling games to create different challenges and amusement, develop the ability of the wrist for stable operation, and improve the capacity for mouth and hand-eye coordination.
(b) Description of the Prior Art
The majority of conventional game apparatus for balancing a rolling ball, which are suitable for use by people ranging from infants to senior citizens, have only one function, and are monotonous and boring, as well as being unable to strengthen reactive movement ability or improve moving concentration of the user. Hence, there is a need for improvement.
The primary objective of the present invention is to provide a multi-functional intelligent ball disk, which uses a balancing ball disk with four surfaces. The outer edge surface, the inner edge surface, the front surface and the rear surface of the ball disk are respectively provided with different tracks to provide balancing games that involve rolling a ball inside the tracks. Due to the variation in designs of the track paths, the multi-functional intelligent ball disk is replete with ingenuity and creativity, and is able to train mouth and hand-eye coordination and the operational capacity of the wrist of different age groups ranging from children to senior citizens.
To enable a further understanding of said objectives and the technological methods of the invention herein, a brief description of the drawings is provided below followed by a detailed description of the preferred embodiments.

A disk 10, which is a design with four surfaces. A first track 11 is provided on the outer edge surface of the disk 10, and a plurality of indentations 111 are indentedly provided inside the first track 11. The indentations 111 are distributed along the inside of the first track 11. The inside of each of the indentations 111 is marked with a number from 1 to 36. A second track 12 is provided on the inner edge surface of the aforementioned disk 10, and the second track 12 is a continuous inner ring groove. A third track 13 is provided on the front surface of the aforementioned disk 10, and the third track 13 is a curving shallow slot. A fourth track 14 is provided on the rear surface of the aforementioned disk 10, and the fourth track 14 is a continuous ball groove. Two raised stop pieces 141 are installed inside the fourth track 14. The stop pieces 141 are located in two opposite sides of the fourth track 14, and the stop pieces 141 are raised to a relatively high height. A plurality of protruding pieces 142 of relatively small area and relatively low height are distributed along the interior of the fourth track 14 forming obstructions therein. The protruding pieces 142 are arranged equidistantly along the fourth track 4.
And a ball 20, which is a circular ball made from plastic. The ball 20 is held inside one of the four tracks 11, 12, 13, 14 of the disk 10.
