And a pair on both sides of course 1.
[0021]
The light beam emitted by the light emitter 8d is normally received by the light receiver 8e, but when the skier 10 participating in the game passes between the pair of stands 8a and 8b, the light beam is temporarily transmitted by the skier 10. Since it is blocked, the light receiver 8e does not receive the light beam, and the output photocurrent is rapidly reduced. Thereby, the passage of the skier 10 is sensed and a passage signal is transmitted to a central processing unit described later.
[0022]
FIG. 2 is a front view of the start gate 3 and the coin / token insertion machine 4 with a snow hood 4a as a charge insertion machine. The coin / token insertion machine 4 has a coin insertion slot 4c and a token insertion slot 4t.

That is, the base of the gate bar 3 a is fixed to a quarter-circular support plate 30 that is pivotally supported by the rotary shaft 31. The support plate 30 is urged clockwise in FIG. 3 by a spring 32 and is brought into contact with and locked to a stopper 33 to block the gate bar 3a as a closed fence member from the entrance of the downhill course 1 as shown. The microswitch 34 is turned on.
And since the pin 35a of the plunger 35 protrudes into the notch 30a of the support plate 30 and prevents its counterclockwise rotation, the gate bar 3a cannot be pushed open even if it is pushed in the direction indicated by the arrow P.
[0025]
When a coin or token is inserted into the coin / token insertion machine 4 and a lock release signal is input from the coin / token insertion machine 4, the plunger 35 operates and the pin 35a is retracted, so the gate bar 3a is unlocked and opened. A fence becomes possible. Therefore, when the game participant pushes the gate bar 3a in the direction indicated by the arrow P, the gate bar 3 opens with the support plate 30 by rotating around the rotation shaft 31 and the game participant enters the downhill course 1. Can do. At this time, the microswitch 34 is turned off, and thereby a game start signal is transmitted to a central control device described later by a circuit (not shown).
[0026]
After the game participant has passed, the support plate 30 and the gate bar 3a are rotated clockwise by the urging force of the spring S to return to the original position. When the micro switch 34 is turned on, the plunger 35 is deactivated. The pin 35a protrudes and locks the gate bar 3a again, so that a new game participant is returned.
