DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a gripping device provided with at least a pair of claw members which can individually take out prizes provided in a game device main body.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, as shown in FIG. 19, a crane game device 41 for lifting a prize P placed on a bottom surface 44 in a game device main body 43 by moving a suspended grip device 42 up and down, As described in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 8-112446, there is a game device 51 or the like that moves a gripping device 52 horizontally to acquire a prize P suspended by a suspension member 55 in a game device main body 53. (FIG. 16
reference). As shown in FIG. 15, the grip devices 42 and 52 used in these game devices 41 and 51
The prize P is held by opening and closing the pair of claw members 56 and 57 at least.

[0003]

The above-mentioned conventional claw member 5
6, 57 are mainly formed of synthetic resin, metal or the like, but since the contact surface with which the prize P contacts is not subjected to any processing, the frictional resistance is small, and even if the prize P is gripped, There was a problem of slipping and dropping.
In particular, if the premium P is a capsule toy or the like having a small frictional resistance, the probability of slipping and dropping increases,
There was a problem that the fun of the game was spoiled.
As a countermeasure for this, irregularities are formed on the capsule side so that the capsule is easily caught. However, a problem has arisen that the processing cost and appearance of the capsule are impaired.

The present invention has been devised in view of the above problems, and a contact member having a large frictional resistance is provided on a prize contact surface of a claw member of a gripping device, so that even a slippery prize can be easily formed. It is an object of the present invention to provide a gripping device that can be acquired and can enhance the fun of the game.
