GAME BALL SHOOTING APPARATUS

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a game ball shooting apparatus which gives a stable shooting speed to a game ball. SOLUTION: An outer periphery rail 5 is fixed to the surface of a base body 4, and a rotary body 2 is arranged rotatably on the side of its inner periphery. A clutch means 19 of a torsion spring type is interposed between the rotation center shaft 16 of the rotary body 2 and the output shaft 3a of an electric motor 3 to disconnect power transmission to the rotary body 2 when the operation body 31 of an actuator means 21 is locked to the engaging part 27 of the outer periphery of a third sleeve 26. On one end face in the radial direction of the rotary body, a ball guiding groove 12 for accepting the game ball supplied from a supply hole 15 at a cover body 9 is formed so as to extend along the peripheral direction of the rotary body 2, and is provided with a ball release part 12a opening from the end of the upstream side of the rotating direction of the rotary body 2 of the groove 12 to the outer peripheral surface of the rotary body. By operation of the actuator means 21, transmission of rotary power is performed or is interrupted, and the rotary body 2 is rotated intermittently. COPYRIGHT: (C)2007,JPO&INPIT
