ABSTRACT:

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention is related to a game device, and more particularly to a game playing member supporting device of hockey game table, which can be more stably moved within the table.
FIG. 1
shows a conventional hockey game table
10
. Multiple game playing members
12
and slot rails
14
are disposed on the table face
11
. A player can operate the operation bars
15
disposed on the table
10
to rotate and drive the game playing members
12
to move along the rails
14
so as to simulate a hockey.
Multiple transmission mechanisms
16
are disposed in the table
10
as shown in FIG.
2
. Each transmission mechanism
16
has a linking member
18
(which can be a spring or a soft flexible member). The inner end of each operation bar
15
is connected with one end of the linking member
18
. The bottom end of the game playing member
12
through the rail
14
is connected with the other end of the linking member
18
. When rotating the operation bar
15
, the game playing member
12
is driven and rotated via the linking member
18
. When pushing or pulling the operation, bar, the game playing member is driven to move along the rail
14
. Accordingly, the game playing members is operable to drive a hockey platelet
19
.
In the above conventional structure as shown in
FIG. 2
, the game playing member
12
and transmission mechanism
16
are not well located. As a result, when moving and rotating the game playing member, the game playing member and the transmission mechanism tend to deflect and swing. Therefore, the game playing member can be hardly stably moved and operated. Moreover, the game playing member and transmission mechanism are easy to collide the table face
11
to produce noise.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
It is therefore a primary object of the present invention to provide a game playing member supporting device of hockey game table. The supporting device can be more stably moved within the table to stably drive the game playing member.
It is a further object of the present invention to provide the above game playing member supporting device of hockey game table, which can be stably operated to reduce noise in operation.
