A toy ball game with play mechanism

Toy ball game device with competition mechanism

This creation relates to a toy ball game device with a court, wherein the court includes one or more mechanisms protruding from the court. The toy ball game can be a football game, in which the mechanism on the court simulates the player's spring-back installation on the court, and its configuration can be moved out of the neutral position by the player's flexion. When the mechanism is held and subsequently released, it can return to its neutral position due to the action of elastic force. The return movement of the mechanism will apply kinetic energy to the ball near the mechanism, that is, at the foot of the simulated football player, thereby, It can simulate the action of kicking the ball and make the ball move in the court.

U.S. Patent No. 3,086,778, U.S. Patent No. 3,118,678, German Patent DE1,163,712, German Patent DE2,263,398, disclose this toy ball game, in which the players on the court have people The shape of the player, and there is a dish-shaped, spherical or barrel-shaped base element under the players foot. When the player is buckled and deviated from the neutral position and released, the elastic force that causes the player to return to the neutral position will be applied to the ball and kick the ball away from the player.

This conventional toy ball game device has many disadvantages. Players of all these toy ball game devices cannot rotate around the vertical axis on the court, and always maintain a fixed direction, so that the players' faces are facing the direction of attack. When a player kicks the ball in a non-attack direction, the player must kick the ball with the side or back of his body, which is quite unreasonable.

A further disadvantage of the conventional toy ball game device is that it is not easy for the player to correctly aim at the target, which reduces the accuracy of kicking the ball, resulting in frequent missed targets.

Another disadvantage of the conventional toy ball game device is that the player must grasp the player's head to flex the player from its vertical, neutral position. When the player is in a flexed position, the player must hold the player's head with his hand or at least one finger, and aim by changing or adjusting the direction of flexion. Therefore, the hand often blocks the line of sight and loses sight of the head.

The above and other shortcomings can be improved by the toy ball game device created by this invention, in which the player can rotate around an axis perpendicular to the court. Therefore, the player can turn the player so that the front of the player faces the direction of the target, and accurately kick the ball out, making the game device more beautiful.

By pressing down on the arm protruding horizontally from the player's body, the player can bend it from a neutral position. Compared to grasping the player's head, the player's hand can be located at a lower position, so that the player's hand does not block the line of sight in the aiming direction. With this creation, the player's line of sight can be significantly improved and allows more precise aiming accuracy.

According to this creation, the player's base element has a concave shape that fits with the ball, so that when the ball contacts the concave portion in front of the base, the ball can occupy a proper position. When the player changes the aiming direction by turning the player, the ball can move with the player accurately and steadily, and the player can kick the ball in the correct direction.

Fig. 1 is a cross-sectional view of a court, which includes two rectangular court elements 10 and 11, which are arranged adjacent to each other. The stadium element 11 is square, and the stadium element 10 is rectangular, the length of the short side is the same as the side length of the square element 11, and the length of the long side is twice the length of the short side. The sides of the court elements 11 and 10 have rectangular recesses 13, and the bottom of each recess 13 has two cylindrical coupling handles 14. The sides of the court elements 10 and 11 are arranged adjacent to each other, and the concave portion 13 forms a concave portion with a square horizontal section at the junction of the two court elements. The square construction element 15 has a coupling recess (not shown) at its bottom, and the square construction element 15 can be installed in the recess formed by the rectangular recesses 13 of the two court elements, wherein the coupling handle 14 can be frictionally engaged to support It is contained in the coupling recess at the bottom of the structure element 15. Thus, the top surface of the construction element 15 will be level with the top surfaces of the court elements 10 and 11.

The top surface of each court element 10, 11 has a depression or recessed portion 16, and at the lowest point in the middle of the recessed portion 16, a tubular sleeve 17 is arranged, which will be described later.

2 and 3 show the competition mechanism 20, which has a cylindrical shank 21 at its bottom, and the free end of the cylindrical shank 21 has a protruding buckling protrusion 22, and is provided with a long and narrow slot so that the end of the cylindrical shank 21 is elastic and compressible. The competition mechanism has a circular dish-shaped base element 23, and the top and bottom surfaces of the base element are arc-shaped or dome-shaped. On the top surface of the base element 23 of the competition mechanism, there are two cylindrical coupling handles 24, which are roughly the same type as the coupling handles 14. There is a concave curve 26 on the periphery of the base element 23, and There is a corresponding concave portion 27 on the bottom surface. The base element 23 of the competition mechanism is fixed on the handle 21 by a spring, and the spring may be a leaf spring 28. The race mechanism has an arm portion 29 which is arranged on the opposite side of the concave curved portions 26 and 27.

Figure 5 shows the competition mechanism 20 disposed on the stadium element 11, in which the handle 21 has been inserted into the sleeve 17, and the fastening protrusion 22 is located at the bottom end of the sleeve 17, so that the competition mechanism can be secured by the mechanism of the fastening protrusion. Replace the ground and fix it. The race mechanism can rotate in the sleeve 17. The conventional toy player 25 is arranged on the competition mechanism 20, wherein the coupling handle 24 is received in a corresponding coupling recess located at the bottom of the toy player's leg. The toy player can be designed to imitate the appearance of a football player, and can be easily removed from the competition organization and replaced by other toy players.

FIG. 5 depicts a situation in which the arm 29 is pressed down with a finger, and the competition mechanism 25 is bent and deviated from its neutral position (shown by a dotted line) to a flexion position (shown by a solid line).

Figure 5 also shows a ball or other spherical object 30 located in the recess 16, which will be positioned at the lowest point defined by the concave portions 26, 27 of the base element 23 due to gravity, since the base element 23 can be located All other positions protrude further in the horizontal direction. Therefore, compared to the case where the ball is in contact with the concave portions 26 and 27, the ball will be located at a higher position in other positions in contact with the base member 23. In the neutral position of the toy player, the ball will contact the concave portion 26 on the edge of the base element, and in the flexed position of the competition mechanism, the ball will contact the concave portion 27 continuing from the concave portion 26.

In Figures 4, 5 and 6, the ball 30 is shown in the recess 16 , And abut the base element 23. Due to the relationship of gravity, the ball will slide to the lowest point of the concave portion 16, and since the concave portion 26 of the base member has a circular periphery, when in the neutral position, the ball will be positioned stably on the concave portion of the base member 26. The concave portion 26 is located at the front end of the toy player 25. When the competition mechanism 20 with the toy player 25 is turned to face the other direction, the ball will still be located in the concave portion 26 of the base member. In the flexed position of the competition mechanism, the ball is still placed at the concave portion 27 on the bottom surface of the base element. Therefore, the concave portions 26, 27 of the base element cooperate with the concave portion 16 of the court element, so that the ball is always stably located in front of the toy player 25 of the competition mechanism, and when the competition mechanism is rotated, the ball will follow and still be positioned stably The front of the player. This allows the player to accurately aim before kicking the ball out.

When used, the actions and functions of the game will be explained as follows, assuming that the game is a football game between two teams. When a toy player kicks the ball out, due to gravity, the ball will slide into the recess 16 of another player (or the same player), where the ball can abut any part of the base element of the competition mechanism. Thus, with the arm 29, the player can rotate the competition mechanism until the recesses are in contact with the ball, at which time the ball will stop in one of the recesses located directly in front of the toy player. At this time, the player can aim at a specific direction by rotating the competition mechanism, so the ball will follow and remain positioned in front of the toy player. Then, the player can press down the arm 29 with a finger, whereby the ball will contact the concave portion 27 located on the bottom surface of the base 23, and in this flexed position, the competition mechanism can be rotated to change the aiming direction. By releasing the arm 29, the player can allow the toy player to "kick" the ball, and the competition agency The elastic force of the spring will return to its neutral position, and by this action, the ball will be kicked away from the competition mechanism.

Before kicking the ball, the player can bend the competition mechanism greatly or slightly from the neutral position, and can choose to kick the ball hard or lightly. A light kick will make the ball roll only on the court, and a strong kick will make the ball fly over the top of the court.

The toy player 25 of the simulated player can be replaced with other toy players. This allows players to place their players on the court at will. It is also possible to move and position the competition mechanism with or without toy players as needed. Therefore, the player will not need to be restricted to a specific position on the court and the player can choose a specific position for his player before the game, and during the game, if he likes, he can also move the toy player to another position.
