PINWHEEL GENERATOR

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a pinwheel generator capable of swinging a front plate with the rotation of a pinwheel while stopping the front plate at a regular attitude when stopping the rotation of the pinwheel in the pinwheel generator having the front plate, with a symbol, a character or the like, having vertical directional property, drawn thereon, and the impeller. SOLUTION: This pinwheel generator includes a pinwheel shaft 2 raised on a game board surface 40, an impeller 10 rotatably journaled by the pinwheel shaft and freely rotating by a collision with a game ball falling the game board, and a front plate 20 disposed in front of the pinwheel and journaled by the pinwheel shaft so as to be rotatable relatively to the impeller. The front plate has a structure with a displaced gravity center for univocally defining a rotating-direction attitude of the front plate in stopping. COPYRIGHT: (C)2010,JPO&INPIT
