(See FIGS. 12 and 14). This game device 30
As shown in FIG. 14, the prize 10 is suspended by a bar-shaped suspension device 35 attached to the rear wall 31.

Further, as shown in FIG. 13, there is a game device 39 having a structure in which a suspension device 35 is attached to one side of a rotating body 38 rotatably provided in a game device main body 37. In the game device 39, the prize 10 is suspended from the suspension device 35, and the prize 10 is rotated by the rotating body 38, while the prize 10 rotated by the gripping means 40 including a pair of claw members 41 and 42 is taken out. .

[0004]

The above-mentioned conventional suspension device 3
5 is a game device 30 or 39 in which the difficulty of detachment is constant.
For those skilled in the art, the prize 10 can be easily removed, but for those who are not accustomed to the game apparatus 30 or 39, or for infants, it is extremely difficult to remove the prize 10. . Therefore, there has been a demand for a suspension device capable of switching between a structure in which the prize is easily detached and a structure in which the prize is not easily detached.

In the case of the conventional suspending device 35, if the suspended prize 10 is of a shape and material that can be easily grasped by the grasping means 40, it is easily obtained and the game property is impaired. There is a problem that no one wants to do it because it is difficult to obtain a shape or material of 40 that is difficult to grasp. Therefore, when suspending a prize having a shape and material that is easy to grasp by the gripping means, the prize has a structure that is difficult to come off. A suspension was desired.

[0006] The present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and has as its object to provide a suspension device that can adjust the degree of difficulty in obtaining a prize.

FIG. 6 is a side view showing another embodiment of the suspension device. FIG. 7 is a front view of FIG. FIG. 8 is a side view showing a state where the fall prevention member of FIG. 6 is rotated. FIG.
FIG. 9 is a front view of FIG. 8. FIG. 10 is a side view showing a mode in which the suspension device is attached to the game device.

The suspension device 1 shown in FIG. 1 comprises a rod-shaped member 2 having a circular cross section, and a drop prevention member 3 provided at a tip 2a of the rod-shaped member 2 as shown in FIG. The fall prevention member 3 has a base end portion 4 connected to the outer peripheral edge of the front end 2 a of the rod-shaped member 2, and is formed in a substantially conical shape whose cross section increases from the base end portion 4 toward the front end portion 5. ing. Note that the cross-sectional shape of the rod-shaped member 2 may be rectangular. Further, the fall prevention member 3 may have a pyramid shape.

The fall prevention member 3 has an outer peripheral edge 5 on the tip end 5 side.
The distance between a and the axis 2c of the rod-shaped member 2 is not constant, and the shortest diameter is r1 and the longest diameter is r2. Further, the fall prevention member 3 is fixed to the shaft center 2c of the rod-shaped member 2 by a flathead screw 6.

Although the upper part of the fall prevention member 3 has a shortest diameter r1 from the axis 2c in FIGS. 1 to 3, loosen the flat head screw 6 and rotate it 180 degrees to tighten the flat head screw 6. Accordingly, as shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, the upper part from the axis 2c can be the longest diameter r2.

The suspension device 1 is shown in FIG. 10 (a) on the rear wall 31 of the game device 30, 39 for taking out the suspended prize 10 by the gripping means 40 as shown in FIG. 12 or FIG. As shown in FIG. 10B, it can be directly attached by the attachment screw 32, or can be fitted into the flange 33 attached to the rear wall 31 by a screw or the like (not shown) and attached by the attachment screw 32, as shown in FIG. In addition, the method of attaching the suspension device 1 is not limited to the attachment screw 32, and there is also a method of attaching the suspension device 1 simply by inserting it into a pipe.

As shown in FIG. 1, the prize 10 comprises a prize main body 11, a ring 13, and a string 12 connecting the ring 13 and the prize main body 11. It is suspended by the suspension device 1. Premium 1
0 is provided in the game devices 30 and 39,
The pair of claw members 41 and 42 are gripped and pulled out.

The prize 10 is a pair of claw members 4 of the gripping means 40.
The ring 13 slides along the upper edge of the rod-shaped member 2 and the upper edge of the drop prevention member 3 when the ring 13 is gripped by the members 1 and 42 and pulled forward. As shown in FIG. 2, when the shortest diameter r1 is located on the upper side of the fall prevention member 3 of the suspension device 1, the inclination of the upper edge of the fall prevention member 3 is gentle. Therefore, the premium 10 can be easily taken out from the suspension device 1.

When the fall prevention member 3 of the suspension device 1 has the longest diameter r2 on the upper side as shown in FIG. 4, the inclination of the upper edge of the fall prevention member 3 is steep. . Therefore, it is difficult to remove the prize 10 from the suspension device 1. In this manner, the suspension device 1 can freely adjust the difficulty of removing the prize 10 by changing the angle of the fall prevention member 3.

The suspension device 21 shown in FIG.
And a fall prevention member 2 provided at the tip 2a of the rod-shaped member 2.
It consists of three. Thus, the fall prevention members 3, 2
3 can be freely replaced according to the prize.
The fall prevention member 23 has a base end 24 connected to the outer peripheral edge of the distal end 2 a of the rod-shaped member 2, and is formed in a substantially conical shape whose cross section increases from the base end 24 to the distal end 25. ing.

The shape of the tip 25 of the fall prevention member 23 is as follows.
The shape of the tip end portion 5 of the fall prevention member 3 is substantially elliptical, while it is substantially circular. For this reason, even when the center of the drop prevention member 23 and the axis 2c of the rod-shaped member 2 are aligned, the distance between the outer peripheral edge 25a on the distal end portion 25 side and the axis 2c of the rod-shaped member 2 is not constant. Therefore, the fall prevention member 2
3 is an outer peripheral edge 25a of the tip portion 25 having two shortest diameters r3,
r3 and two longest diameters r4 and r4, and are fixed to the shaft center 2c of the rod-shaped member 2 by the flathead screw 6.

In FIG. 6 and FIG. 7, the fall prevention member 23 has the shortest diameter r3 at the upper part of the outer peripheral edge 25a from the axis 2c. By tightening, as shown in FIGS. 8 and 9, the upper part of the outer peripheral edge 25a from the shaft center 2c can be set to the longest diameter r4. When the shortest diameter r3 is located on the upper side, the fall prevention member 23 has a gentle slope of the upper edge, and the prize 1
0 becomes easy to come off, and when the longest diameter r4 is located on the upper side, the slope of the upper edge becomes steep and the prize 10 becomes hard to come off.

In the above embodiment, the rod-shaped member 2 and the fall prevention member 3 (23) are formed separately, but they may be formed integrally. In this case, the mounting screw 32 (see FIG. 10) attached to the rear wall 31 of the game apparatus 30 is loosened, the rod-shaped member 2 itself is rotated, and the angle of the fall prevention member 3 (23) is adjusted. By tightening, the inclination of the fall prevention member 3 (23) can be changed.

When grooves 2b are formed around the rod-shaped member 2 at predetermined intervals in the axial direction as shown in FIG. 11, the ring 13 of the premium 10 can be hooked on the grooves 2b. The prize 10 can be hung at predetermined intervals.

[0023]

As described above, the first aspect of the present invention is as follows.
In the suspension device according to any one of (4) to (4), since the distance between the outer peripheral edge of the fall prevention member and the substantially axial center of the rod-shaped member is not constant, when the fall prevention member is rotated, the inclination of the upper edge of the fall prevention member changes. There is an effect that it is possible to change the difficulty of acquiring a prize suspended on the prize. The use of this suspension device has the effect that the same game device can be divided into those for skilled players and those for beginners. In addition, in the case of prizes that the gripping means can easily grip, the inclination of the upper edge of the fall prevention member is increased to increase the difficulty of obtaining the prize. There is an effect that it is possible to reduce the gradient of the upper edge to reduce the difficulty of obtaining a prize and to average the prize obtaining rate as a whole.

In the suspension device according to the first and second aspects of the present invention, the rod-shaped member and the fall prevention member are integrally formed, and the rod-shaped member is rotatably attached to one side of the game apparatus main body or one side of the rotating body. Therefore, the rod-shaped member can be easily rotated, and the inclination of the upper edge of the fall prevention member can be easily adjusted.

In the suspension device according to the third and fourth aspects of the present invention, the rod-shaped member and the fall prevention member are separately formed, and the fall prevention member is rotatably attached to the rod-like member around the substantially axis of the rod-like member. Therefore, there is an effect that the inclination of the upper edge of the fall prevention member can be changed only by rotating the fall prevention member.
