  Embodiments of a dart and a dart game device according to the present invention will be described below in detail with reference to the embodiments shown in the drawings.

  The best embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is an external perspective view of a dart game device. In the dart game apparatus 1, a dart board 3 is provided in front of a vertical rectangular parallelepiped housing 2 at a substantially line-of-sight position when the player is standing. A coin insertion slot, a mode selection switch, and the like (not shown) are provided on the front of the casing, and the player inserts a fee into the coin insertion slot, presses the mode selection switch, selects a game mode, and plays a dart game. The player stands at a predetermined position in front of the casing and throws the soft dart 5 toward the target 4 of the dart board 3. The soft dart 4 that has reached the dart board 3 has its tip pierced into the dart board 3 and the pierced position is detected, and the score is displayed according to the pierced position.

  FIG. 2 shows a side view of the chemical light emitting dart. The external shape of the chemical dart soft dart 5A is substantially the same as that of the metal dart except for the tip, and has a structure in which safety measures are taken so as not to pierce a person or a wall. The soft dart 5A has a flexible resin soft tip 6 at the tip, the tip 6a has a short cone, and the rear of the 2 mm diameter narrow diameter portion 6b becomes a truncated cone 6c and spreads like a bowl. It continues to the diameter portion 6d. The soft tip 6 is connected to the front end of a metal barrel 7, and a resin shaft 8 is connected to the rear of the barrel, and includes a flight 9 provided behind the shaft. Thereby, the soft dart 5A can be thrown straight by throwing the soft tip toward the target while holding the barrel of the soft dart 5A.

The shaft 8 is a transparent or translucent resin cylinder with a hollow portion 8a inside, an opening 8b in the front, and a screw 8c for screwing the barrel around the cylinder. A notch 8e is provided in the bottom 8d to fit the flight.
The shaft 8 is removed from the barrel 7, and a chemical light 5Aa used for floating or the like used for night fishing is provided in the hollow portion 8b. The chemical light 5Aa is inserted before it is inserted into the hollow portion 8b after it is folded to cause a chemical reaction to emit light. Then, the shaft 8 is screwed into the barrel 7 to be integrated.

The chemical light 5Aa has a double structure with a thin glass tube inside a plastic tube, and the liquid A and the liquid B are placed so as not to mix inside and outside the glass tube. Then, when the light is emitted, the glass tube is bent by bending the glass tube, and both liquids are mixed.
The chemical light causes a chemical reaction by mixing the solution in the outer plastic tube and the solution in the inner glass tube (containing phosphor, oxalic acid derivative, and hydrogen peroxide, respectively) An excited state is created to emit light. When using, break the glass tube inside the chemical light and mix the inner and outer solution, then it will begin to shine.

As a result, the soft dart 5Aa shines brightly because the shaft 8 is made of transparent or translucent resin, illuminates the flight 9, and the dart shaft 8 is illuminated even if the lighting of the place where the dart game device is installed is dark. Because it emits light, it is easy to recognize the position of the dart that was thrown. It is also easy to find darts that have fallen without being stabbed into the dart board. Moreover, since the dart itself is shining, it can appeal to the surroundings. The chemical relight 5Aa has several hours of light emission, and can be easily replaced with another light emitting chemical light 5Aa, thereby making it easy to distinguish darts.
Alternatively, the shaft itself may be made of a translucent elastic material outer skin, and the inside is made a chemical light, and when using darts, the shaft may be bent to emit the chemical light.

FIG. 3 is an internal side view showing another embodiment of the light emitting dart. The soft dart 5B that emits light has a soft tip 6 connected to the front end of a metal barrel 7, a transparent or translucent resin shaft 8 connected to the rear of the barrel 7, and provided behind the shaft 8. It consists of flight 9.

Inside the barrel 7, a pin type lithium battery 11a is provided at the front, and a light emitting diode 5Bb is directed toward the shaft 8 at the rear. The light emitting diode 5Bb is turned on by the pin type lithium battery 11a, and the shaft 8 is transparent. Or since it is translucent resin, the light of light emitting diode 5Bb permeate | transmits and shines.
The shaft 8 is screwed into the barrel 7, and when the shaft 8 is screwed into the barrel 7, the light emitting diode 5Bb is pressed, the opened contact is closed, and the power source of the pin-type lithium battery 5Ba is turned on to the light emitting diode 5Bb. To emit light.
As a result, like the first embodiment, the shaft 8 is transparent or translucent resin so that it shines brightly, illuminates the flight 9, and the dart game device is installed even if the lighting is dark. Since the shaft 8 emits light, it is easy to recognize the position where the thrown dart is stuck. It is easy to find darts that have fallen without being stabbed into the dart board. Moreover, since the dart itself is shining, it can appeal to the surroundings. In addition, it can be easily replaced with a light emitting diode of another light emitting color, and darts can be easily distinguished.
The light-emitting dart described above is not limited to a soft dart, and can be used for a dart in which the tip of the dart is a needle.

FIG. 4 shows a side view of the laser dart. The external shape of the soft dart 5C is almost the same except for the metal dart and the tip.
The soft dart 5C has a flexible resin soft tip 6A in which the pores 6e are opened from the tip portion 6a to the bottom of the large diameter portion 6d, and the laser light L is irradiated from the pores 6e of the tip portion 6a. The soft tip 6A is connected to the front end of a metal barrel 7, and a resin shaft 8 is connected to the rear of the barrel, and is composed of a flight 9 provided behind the shaft. This allows the soft dart to be thrown straight by holding the soft dart barrel and throwing the soft tip toward the target.

Inside the barrel 7, a pin-type lithium battery 5Ca is provided on the rear side, and a laser irradiation circuit 5Cb is provided on the front side thereof, and the laser irradiation circuit 5Cb is operated by the pin-type lithium battery 5Ca so that the laser light is directed to the front lens 5Cc. Then, the laser beam L is irradiated toward the soft tip 12A. The soft tip 12A is screwed to the barrel 7, the laser beam from the laser irradiation circuit 5Cb is incident from the pore 6e at the bottom of the soft tip 12A, and irradiated forward from the pore 6e of the tip 6a. L matches the axis of the soft dart 12.
The soft tip 6A is screwed into the barrel 7 so that the opened contact is pressed and closed, and power is supplied to the laser irradiation circuit 5Cb so that the laser light that matches the axial direction from the pore 6e at the tip of the soft tip 6A. Can be fired and aimed at the dart board away. Alternatively, a slide switch may be provided on the side surface of the barrel 7 and power may be supplied to the laser irradiation circuit 5Cb by the slide switch. Alternatively, a push button may be provided on the side of the barrel, and power may be supplied to the laser irradiation circuit 5Cb by pressing the push button when the soft dart 12 is held.

When a player throws a dart, the laser light L emitted from the tip of the soft tip is projected onto the dart board and compared to the place where it was stabbed after throwing the dart. It becomes correction of time. Furthermore, the player can recognize the camera shake at the time of throwing by the movement of the projection position of the laser beam L on the dart board.
Thus, it is possible to know the direction in which the tip of the dart is facing before throwing the dart, and to throw it after setting the aim. Also, you can recognize where the dart is stuck against the aim, so it becomes practice and correction of throwing. And the player himself can easily check the camera shake at the time of the throwing of the player, and can correct and raise the hit rate.

  Furthermore, by adding the structure of the laser dart shown in FIG. 4 to the light emitting dart shown in FIG. 2, the shaft may emit light and the soft dart may emit laser light from the tip of the soft tip. Thus, both effects can be obtained.

FIG. 5 shows a front view of the dart board. The dart board of the electronic dart game device is composed of a bull's eye located in the middle of the division, and a board divided into score units with a number of holes in the shape of a honeycomb concentrically surrounded by a circular arc. It consists of a disk-shaped target.
The dart board is an official size 18-inch disk, and has 20 border frames 10 from the small circle at the center toward the outer periphery at equal angular intervals in the form of bicycle spokes. Double boundary frames 11 and 12 are provided. Two boundary frames 13 and 14 constituting a circle band are provided in the middle of the boundary frame in the radial direction in a spoke shape, and a circumferential boundary frame 16 is provided inside the circumferential boundary frame 15 and the vicinity thereof. It has been. 1, 18, 4, 13, 6, 10, 15, 2, 17, 3, 19, 7, 16, 8, 11, 14 from right above the dart board between the spokes on the outside of the circumference , 9, 12, 5, and 20 in the order of numbers.

The frame area surrounded by each frame line indicates the score area when the dart is stabbed, the score is different, and the small circle located at the center of the dart board is the bullseye 20, and when the dart is stabbed here 25 points are added.
A doughnut-shaped area surrounding the outside of the bullseye 20 is a double bullseye 21, and 50 points are added when a dart is stabbed here.
The area from the double bullseye 21 to the frame 11 of the circle inside the circle in the middle in the radial direction is a single 22. Furthermore, a relatively wide area between the outer circle frame 12 of the circle and the inner circumferential frame 16 near the circumference is also a single 23.

When a dart is stabbed into one of these two single areas, the number attached to the numeral notation 17 sandwiched by the spoke-like border frame 20 of that area is added as a point.
The area of the circumferential frame 15 of the dart board and the inner circumferential frame 16 in the vicinity of the circumference is a double 24. When the dart is stabbed, it is attached to the number notation 17 on the outer side of the spoke-like boundary frame in that area. Twice the number is added as a point.
The area surrounded by the border frames 13 and 14 of the circle band in the middle of the dart board in the radial direction is a triple, and when the dart is stabbed, it is attached to the number notation portion 17 sandwiched by the spoke-like border frame 20 of the area. Three times the number being added is added as a point.
For example, in order to obtain 6 points, it is necessary to stab a dart into one of the single 6-point portion, the double portion of the 3-point portion, and the triple portion of the 2-point portion indicated by the intersection line shown in the figure.

FIG. 6 shows a schematic cross-sectional view of a two-point triple region of the dart board. The two-point triple region is formed from the semitransparent resin target 4 divided into score units in which a large number of holes 4a are provided in a honeycomb shape surrounded by four frame lines 10, 10, 13, and 14. It is configured. The holes 4a are evenly provided over the entire front surface of the target, and the tip of the soft dart 5 can be stuck to hold the soft dart. This target 4 is provided within the frame line so as to be movable forward and backward of the dart board 3, and a foot 4b is provided on the back side. On the back side of the dart board 3, a sheet switch EL30 is arranged. The sheet switch EL 30 has a protective sheet 31 on the surface, an EL light emitting portion 32 indicated by hatching behind the sheet, and sheet switches 33 and 34 provided with spacers 35 therebetween.
In the sheet switches 33 and 34, electrical contacts 33a and 34b are arranged at opposing positions, and wiring is arranged on the sheet. Usually, the electrical contacts 33a and 34a are spaced apart by the spacer 35, and the electrical contacts 33a and 34a are not in contact and do not conduct, but when a pressing force is applied from the electrical contact 33a to the electrical contact 34a side, The switch sheet 34 provided with the contact 34a cannot move because the casing 2 is located rearward, and the electric contact 33a is pushed and moved, whereby the spacer 35 is elastically deformed and the electric contact 33a is moved. The contact is made with the electrical contact 34a and the electrical circuit is closed. Thereby, it is detected that the soft dart 5 has been stabbed.

An EL light emitting unit 32 composed of a light emitter EL (ELECTRO-LUMINESCENCE) is arranged in accordance with each point area. A seat switch is provided on the back side, and when the target 4 is lowered rearward by the impact of a dart sticking into the board, the foot 4b presses the switch seat 33 of the seat switch from the top of the protective sheet 31 to make an electrical contact. It can be seen that 33a and 34a are in contact with each other so that a circuit in the area enters and a dart is stuck in the area. When the foot 4b presses the switch sheet 33, the EL light emitting portion 31 has an opening 32a in the portion where the foot 4b is located, and does not receive a pressing force.
EL is a luminescence phenomenon that occurs when a substance is excited by energy, and occurs when a voltage is applied to a semiconductor. Here, a flexible cloth-like light emitter is used as the light-emitting EL. There is no inconvenience in closing the contact arranged on the back side by bending due to the impact of the target.

  The player throws a soft dart 5 having a thin rod-shaped tip toward the target 4. The soft dart 5 is stuck in one of the target holes 4a of each segment, and the impact causes the target 4 to move backward to close the electrical contacts 33a and 33b, and the electrical contact is closed to detect the detection signal. (A predetermined score of the target 4 is displayed on the display board. When the electric contact is closed, the electric contact portion 33a is returned by the elasticity of the spacer 35, and the soft dart 5 is pushed back based on the target 4, The electrical contacts 33a and 34a are opened, and the target returns to the original position.

  The electrical contacts of each target plate are in the form of a matrix and are scanned at a constant cycle to detect contact of the electrical contacts. Accordingly, when it is detected that the dart has stabbed the target, the target is translucent when viewed from the player by causing the corresponding EL light emitting section to emit light, so that the target appears to emit light. In this case, the emitted light is displayed as blinking to make the hit target stand out. Whether or not the EL light emitting portion emits light when a dart is stabbed into the target is determined by the game mode.

  The soft dart is stuck in the target, the next dart is thrown, the dart is stuck in any target, and the next dart is stuck in any target, so that the next score is detected.

FIG. 7 is a plan view showing a tamper-proof detection device for a dart game device.
The fraud prevention device is provided with a pyroelectric sensor 40, which is a reflective proximity sensor, around a dart board provided in front of the housing 2, and when there is an object or person detected by the sensor near the dart board 3, Even if a dart is stabbed into the board 3, the score is not counted. In the state where there is a person near the dart board 3, the safety of the game is improved by invalidating the play by not counting even if the dart is thrown. Also, even if the player directly stabs a dart on the dart board 3, the score is not counted. The pyroelectric sensor may be arranged as long as the sensor detection range 41 can cover the periphery of the dart board.

Furthermore, the game may not be started when there is no player with the proximity sensor 42 facing the floor surface toward the throwing line S. In this case, the rear of the throwing line S is a sensor detection range, and it is determined that the player is throwing a dart from a predetermined distance on the sloan line.
The pyroelectric sensor 42 is disposed on the throwing line S in front of the throwing line on the floor. As a result, when the player is detected on the throwing line S and the proximity sensor 40 arranged around the dart board detects nothing around the game, the game becomes effective, and the score is obtained when the dart is stuck in the target of the dart board. Is counted.

FIG. 8 is a perspective view of a dart game device provided with a throwing line projection display mechanism.
The throwing line projection display mechanism 50 is attached to the head of the dart housing 2 via a bracket (not shown). The throwing line projection display mechanism 50 projects the throwing line S on the floor surface using a projector that projects the throwing line S or a light with a slit in a throwing line shape. The throwing line projection display mechanism 50 is driven and controlled so that the projection position of the throwing line S from the dart housing 2 can be set by moving to the housing stepwise.

The setting position of the throwing line S is performed before the game starts, and if it is not set, it is projected from the dart board in accordance with the official rules of darts. When only a player who is playing with a large number of players sets the handy, the throwing line projection display mechanism 50 automatically changes the position of the throwing line S to a position corresponding to the handy when the turn of the player comes.
The throwing line projection display mechanism 50 changes the projection display position by driving the drive motor in accordance with a drive control signal from the dart game device. Alternatively, slits may be provided at a plurality of positions on the throwing line, and lamps corresponding to the respective positions may be lit.

FIG. 9 is a perspective view of a dart game apparatus showing a second embodiment for changing the installation position of the throwing line.
This is done by laying a mat 60 containing EL light emitters at multiple positions on the throwing line in front of the dart game device, setting the throwing line S in the setting section before the game starts, and throwing according to each player The EL light emitter 61 can be set at the position of the line S. When a plurality of players play and only a certain player sets a handy, the position of the throwing line S1 is automatically changed when the turn of the player comes.

  As a result, the distance from the dart board to the throwing line S is normally determined by the official rules, but the darts did not reach or stalled due to individual differences of the players. Can be changed by using a projection type or a mat with built-in EL light emission, so that more players can participate and enjoy darts easily. Furthermore, in this case, by providing surface switches 62a and 62b divided into several areas corresponding to each throwing line S, it is detected whether the player is properly throwing a dart from the location of his throwing line S. Yes, and illegal play may be detected.

FIG. 10 shows a hardware block diagram of the dart game device. The host 70 is an execution unit 71 that controls and executes the entire system, a determination unit 72 that performs various determinations, a storage unit 73 that stores various programs, a database and sound data 74 of each target and score of a dart board, score addition values, The memory unit 75 temporarily stores player information.
The operation panel 80 is input with coin insertion, number of players, handy, game mode selection, and the like. In addition, an IC card or a magnetic card reader that records the individual performance of the player, such as a magnetic card, is provided.
The storage unit 73 stores a boot program and a plurality of types of dart game programs for operating the dart game device.

  The electrical contacts 33a and 34a of the sheet switch for each target (for each score) form a matrix as a whole, and the matrix scanning unit scans at a constant cycle to recognize the contact of the electrical contacts. A matrix scanning unit 81 that detects a target hit with a dart is connected to the host 70. When the dart pierces the target, the target is pushed to the housing side in the dart board to contact the contact point of the sheet switch, and the detection signal is transmitted to the host 70. The host 70 outputs a lighting control signal for controlling the lighting of the EL light emitter provided for each target plate to the light emission control circuit 82, and the light emission control circuit 82 lights the corresponding EL light emitting unit.

When the power is turned on, the execution unit 71 reads the game program according to the boot program stored in the storage unit 73, the player inserts a play fee into the coin slot of the operation panel, selects the game mode with the select switch, and starts. By operating the switch, the dart game starts.
The execution unit 71 controls the progress of the game according to the game program read from the storage unit 73, and advances the game mode desired by the player based on the coin insertion signal from the operation panel 80, the input signal from the select switch, and the start switch. .

The player throws a soft dart at a predetermined distance from the housing and throws it at the target 4, and the soft dart pierces the video dart board 3 to play the game.
When the soft tip 5 thrown by the player toward the target 4 of the game board is stabbed into the target 4, the matrix scanning unit 81 detects the detected soft tip 5, and the detection signal is sent to the host 70 and stored in the storage unit 74 by the execution unit 71. The corresponding coordinates are detected in comparison with the coordinate information, and the position where the soft tip is stuck is specified.
Then, the score of the target corresponding to the specified position is read from the data table stored in the storage unit 73 and added as a score to the previous score value stored in the storage unit 75, and the score display is displayed on the score display unit 76. In addition to the display, a score-up sound is generated and output to the speaker 77.

As a result, the position where the puncture is made is identified from the detection signal from the matrix scan unit 81, and score addition and sound are output. When adding scores, it is monitored whether there is nothing safe in front of the dart board, or whether the player is on the proper slow line, and whether those detection signals are appropriate. The determination unit 72 advances the game if appropriate.
The position information and score information of the target where the soft tip has been inserted, the number of soft darts to be inserted, the number of rounds, and the like are sequentially stored in the storage unit 75, and the game progresses while outputting the score and sound based on the data.

  The flow of the following dart game will be described. Here, for the sake of convenience, description will be made assuming that a general 01 game is selected as the dart game. In the 01 game, the total score of each round is subtracted from the determined points (301 to 1001 points), and the player who has made zero first wins. Moreover, in order to make it zero, if a total score greater than the remaining score is given, the round will be no-count, so it must be made zero. Each player throws three darts in each round, and the target score at the place where he stabs is scored, and the next player is replaced.

FIG. 11 shows a flowchart of the dart game apparatus.
When the power is turned on, the execution unit 71 of the host 70 reads the game program according to the boot program stored in the storage unit 73, stands by, and waits for the player to input a play fee to the operation panel 80 (step 1).
After the play fee is inserted, the player passes a portable memory such as a magnetic card or IC card through the reader, and inputs a name, past play information, and handy. If there is no portable memory, it may be input directly from the operation panel. Here, at least the number of players is absolutely necessary as player information. In addition, if there is a name, level, order, throwing line position, and handy information, you can enjoy the game in more detail (step 2).

Next, the mode selection button on the operation panel is pressed to select a game mode from the types of games provided by the dart game device (step 3). The execution unit 71 controls the progress of the game in accordance with the game program read from the storage unit 73, and advances the game mode desired by the player by an input signal from the start switch of the operation panel 80.
In the game, the position of the throwing line is set from the projector light 50 based on the player information input in step 2, and the current score of the player is displayed (step 4).

Next, it is detected by the proximity sensor 40 whether there is nothing safe near the dart board, and it is detected that the player is on the proper throwing line, and the process proceeds to the next (S5). Then, it is determined whether the score until the player rises is 60 points or less (S6).
If the score until the rise is 60 points or less, the EL light emission unit of the target to be raised is caused to emit light, and the target target is notified to the player (S7).
After the EL light-emitting unit is turned on or not turned on, the player is notified that the play is possible by sound or lamp display (S8).
When the player throws the dart and pierces the target, the electrical contact at the position hit by the matrix scan in which the sheet switch of each target is scanned at a constant cycle is detected, and a detection signal is sent to the host (S9).

The detection signal of the target hit with the dart is sent to the execution unit 71, and a signal for blinking the EL light emitting unit in that region is output to control the lighting of the EL light emitting unit (S10). And the execution part 71 reads the score applicable to the target specified from the signal of the hit target from the table memorize | stored in the memory | storage part 74, and tells it to the determination part 72 as a score. The determination unit 72 determines whether or not the current score value is valid depending on whether the score value exceeds the score until the score value increases (S11).
If it is determined that the current score is valid, the current score value is added to the previous score and displayed on the score display section (S12). If it is determined that the current score is invalid, invalidity is displayed and score addition is not performed (S13).

Next, it is determined whether or not the score value is increased (S14). If it is increased, the player's game is ended (S15).
If the score value is not increased, it is determined whether or not the dart has thrown 3 times based on whether or not the target has been stabbed 3 times (S16), and if it has not reached 3 throws, the process returns to S5 and prepares to throw the next dart.
If the dart has thrown three times, it is determined whether or not all players have reached the final round, and if not, the next player is notified by sound or ramp (S18). When the player is changed, the process returns to S4, and various settings of the changed player are performed. When all the players have finished the final round in step 17, the final score is displayed and the score information is output to the management server on the portable memory or the network (S19), and the game ends.
