ABSTRACT:

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to a table horse racing, particularly to a tabletop game of horse racing.
2. Description of Related Art
The horse racing is an exciting outdoor sport, and it also provides fun during being watched. It would be a great challenge if the sport can be brought indoors to provide all the excitement thereof on a tabletop. The present inventor has engaged a long period of experiments and found that a wood board being shaken back and forth smoothly can cause artificial horses of various materials on the board to move in one direction with a slipping fashion. The hammering of the back-and-forth moving board against the rear structure may cause sounds very much like the stamping of the horses. Also, bumps are added on the board to serve as obstacles, making game participants more difficult to guess which horse would come to the finish line first. Those preceding arrangements make the horse racing game on a tabletop enjoyable.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The table horse racing according to the present invention resides in that a board being pushed forward by turning a nut against an angle plate attached beneath the board and being pulled back by the strength of a rubber band attached to the rear causes back-and-forth shaking movement to make the horses on the board moving in one direction. In addition, the bumps on the board increase the uncertainty about which horse reaches the finish line first. Thus, it makes this toy fun while playing.
An object of the present invention is to provide a table horse racing, which is possible for people to enjoy horse racing indoors.
Another object of the present invention is to provide a table horse racing, which offers fun much like the actual outdoor game of horse racing.
