Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to a game chip that can be used in various games, and particularly to a game chip that enables material identification by a coin selector.

[0002] Conventionally, as a game coin, it is known that a metal chip is embedded in a circular chip made of synthetic resin to provide a material identification function.

However, conventional game coins of this kind can only play games on a slot machine or other game machine installed in a specific game field, and the game coins obtained by winning are exchanged for prizes. It was just a cash voucher.

Therefore, the conventional game coins are used only for a specific game, the specific game is limited by age, and the game coins obtained by winning the prize are taken out of the game field. Was not configured to be used to play the game.

Further, in the conventional synthetic resin game chips, only specific indications such as various symbols or patterns are engraved on the front surface or the back surface, and these marks are used, particularly, the stirring action in the delivery hopper. However, there were problems such as abrasion due to cleaning action in the cleaning tank, and weak strength and easy breakage.

[0006]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 It is an object of the present invention to provide a game chip which not only has a display or other identification function for use in a specific game, but can also be used as a prize for winning on a game machine or in a card game or any other game. To do.

Another object of the present invention is to provide a synthetic resin game chip in which the display of the game chip does not disappear due to wear and has high mechanical strength against breakage and the like.

[0008]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 As shown in the drawing, the game chip according to the present invention has two disc-shaped parts 1 and 2 made of synthetic resin of different colors, which are integrally connected, and at least one of the disc-shaped parts 1 and 2 is joined to the inside. A plurality of small projections 3 and 4 having a specific cross-sectional shape corresponding to a specific display are provided on the outer peripheral portion of the surface so as to be spaced apart from each other in the circumferential direction, and these small projections 3 and 4 are formed on the other disc-shaped portion. A metal piece 6 having a dish-shaped cross section is supported by an outer peripheral edge portion 6a on the inner joint surface 1a of one disc-shaped portion 1 so as to penetrate from the inner joint surface to the outer surface, and one side of the dish-shaped metal piece 6 is supported. 6a is exposed on the outer surface 2b of the other disk-shaped portion 2.

In carrying out the present invention, the cross-sectional shape of the small protrusion 3 can be any one of 1 to 13.

Further, the cross-sectional shape of the small protrusion 4 may be any one of a heart shape, a diamond shape, a club shape and a spade shape of a playing card.

The metal piece 6 may be made of stainless steel having weak magnetism or a copper alloy containing iron powder.

The metal piece 6 may have a dish-shaped cross section, and a ferromagnetic material piece such as an iron piece or a permanent magnet 7 may be inserted between the metal piece 6 and the recess 5 of the one disk-shaped portion 1. it can.

At least one ear 8 is provided on the outer periphery of the dish-shaped metal piece 6, and at least one of the small protrusions is passed through the ear, whereby the metal piece 6 can be positioned.

[0014]

[Action]

 The game chip according to the present invention has a small specific surface shape corresponding to a plurality of specific displays provided on the outer peripheral portion of the inner joint surface 1a of at least one of the disk portions 1 and 2. By penetrating the protrusions 3 and 4 into the other disc-shaped portion 2, both disc-shaped portions can be firmly joined together, and the numbers displayed by the protrusions with a specific cross-sectional shape, etc. The mark is not substantially erased even if it is subjected to a wear action by stirring or washing treatment in the game chip delivery hopper, and further by use in a game or the like.

Further, by sandwiching the outer peripheral edge portion 6a of the dish-shaped metal piece 6 between the two disc-shaped portions 1 and 2, it is possible to completely prevent the metal piece 6 from coming out, and It is possible to prevent the loss of the material selection function of the coin selector or the like of this type of game chip due to the dropout.

Further, the dish-shaped metal piece also acts as a reinforcing material, which increases the strength of the synthetic resin game chip and prevents breakage.

[0017]

【Example】

 1 and 2 show an embodiment of a game chip according to the present invention. In the illustrated game chip, one disc-shaped portion 1 is formed by injection molding or the like, for example, with a red synthetic resin material, and the permanent magnet piece 7 and the metal piece 6 are set in the recess 5, and then the other disc-shaped portion 1 is formed. The shaped portion 2 can be molded integrally with, for example, a green synthetic resin material.

In the illustrated example, the cross-sectional shape of the protrusion 3 is the number 1 and the cross-sectional shape of the protrusion 4 is the playing card diamond shape for the purpose of being used in a card game, but it is of course possible to use other specific cross-sectional shapes. Is.

Further, in the illustrated example, a space is provided between the dish-shaped metal piece 6 and the recess 5 so that the permanent magnet piece or the ferromagnetic material piece 7 is embedded. It is needless to say that the magnetic material piece 7 is not necessarily provided, and the shape and size of the recess 5 can be made sufficient for the outer peripheral edge portion 6a of the metal piece 6 to enter.

Further, in the illustrated example, the metal piece 6 is provided with the outer peripheral protrusion 8 and the small protrusion 4 is penetrated through the metal protrusion 6 for positioning, but the outer peripheral protrusion 8 is not always necessary and the metal protrusion 6 of the metal piece 6 is not necessarily required. It is needless to say that the positioning can be sufficiently performed only by fitting the outer peripheral edge portion 6b of the metal piece 6 in the recess 5.

In the illustrated example, when the permanent magnet piece 7 is embedded in the game chip, it can be preferably used for a card game or other games in which a large number of game chips are stacked to play a game, or Since it can be adsorbed on the table surface of the material, it can be suitably used for games in the car or the like.

When the metal piece 6 is made of weakly magnetic stainless steel or a copper alloy containing iron powder, or when the ferromagnetic material piece 7 is embedded, it is possible to sort by a coin selector having a magnetic sorting function. It is possible.

FIG. 3 shows another embodiment of the present invention. In the example shown in FIG. 3, a plurality of specific indications are provided on the outer peripheral portion of the inner joint surface 1a of one synthetic resin disk-shaped portion 1. Small projections 3 and 4 having a specific cross-sectional shape are provided so as to be spaced apart from each other in the circumferential direction, and these small projections 3 and 4 extend from the inner joint surface 2a to the outer surface 2b of the other synthetic resin disk-shaped portion 2. The metal piece 6 having a dish-shaped cross section is supported on the inner joint surface 1a of one disc-shaped portion 1 by the outer peripheral edge portion 6a thereof, and the metal piece 6 is inserted in the center portion of the inner joint surface of the disc-shaped portion 1. The recess 6c of the dish-shaped metal piece 6 is fitted to the protruding base portion 9 so that the surface 6b of the metal piece 6 is exposed in the same plane as the outer surface 2a of the other disc-shaped portion 2.

The operation and effect of the game chip of the present invention according to the embodiment shown in FIG. 3 are substantially the same as those of the embodiment shown in FIG.

[0025]

[Effect of device]

 The game chip of the present invention can be used not only as a coin for a game in a game machine as described above, but also as a prize for a game, and can be used for various purposes such as a card game and various other game tools.

Further, the specific display is not erased by the stirring action in the delivery hopper and the washing action in the washing tank, and the dish-shaped metal piece acts as a reinforcing material to prevent breakage. And so on.
