On each fence portion, two locking partsare provided one above the other on the outside of the bent partat the other end part in the longitudinal direction. Meanwhile, on each fence portion,, two locked partscorresponding to the two locking partsnoted above are provided on the outside of the bent partat one end part in the longitudinal direction (see). One locked partcorresponding to the upper locking partis also provided on the free end part of the fence portion(see). When the free end part of the fence portionis connected to the fence portionand the top game boardis put in an expanded state (used state), the locked part provided in the free end part of the fence portioncorresponds to the locking part. When the fence portionsare connected to each other and the top game boardis in a contracted state, the locked partprovided on one end part of the fence portioncorresponds to the locking part. Specifically, the locking partprovided on the other end part of the fence portioncan be shared with the locked partprovided in each of the one end part of the fence portionand the free end part of the fence portion

A locking sliderwith a cross-section C shape engages with the guide rail, and the locking slidercan move in a prescribed range along the guide railextending in the vertical direction. A notchin which a portion of the guide railis removed is formed in the extending direction of the guide rail. A stopperfor stopping movement of the locking slideris provided below the notch

8 FIG. 44 45 is a cross-section view showing the locking structure between the locking partand the locked part.

45 45 46 46 46 46 45 d b a d The locked partis formed in a hook shape (L shape). This locked partenters the notchnoted above. By moving the locking slideralong the guide railto the position of the notch, the locked partis locked.

45 46 41 41 100 41 100 d b a a In the embodiment, the locked partentering the notchoccurs when the free end part of the fence portionis connected to the fence portionto put the top game boardin the expanded state (used state), and when the fence portionsare connected to each other and the top game boardis put in a contracted state.

4 FIG. 13 FIG. 50 23 50 50 50 23 50 20 100 30 411 24 a a a a a a. As shown in, a handleis attached below one floor plate portionwith a pininterposed. By rotating around the pin, the handleis pulled to outside the floor plate portion(see). The thickness of the handle, when housed below the floor platewhen the top game boardis expanded, is preferably at a level that will not protrude below the wall, the grounding part, or the grounding part

100 Following, an example of the folding method of the top game boardis explained.

46 44 100 45 41 44 41 41 41 41 20 b b b a a a 1 FIG. 9 FIG. 10 FIG. 11 FIG. First, by moving the locking sliderof the locking parton the upper side of the top game boardthat is in the use state (state in) to the lock release position, the locking of the locked partof the fence portionby the locking partis released. As shown in, the fence portionis folded facing the inner surface of the corresponding fence portion. The state after this folding is shown in. Then, as shown in, fence portions,are folded toward the surface of the floor plate.

12 FIG. 13 FIG. 20 23 23 50 20 44 44 41 45 45 41 100 a a a a Thereafter, as shown in, the floor plateis folded in half in the direction in which the bottom surfaces of the floor plate portions,approach each other. At that time, the handleis pulled from the back side of the floor plate. When folding in half has ended, after the two locking parts,of the fence portionare engaged with the two locked parts,of the other fence portion, the entirety is inverted vertically. As a result, as shown in, the top game boardis transformed into a case shape.

411 41 41 41 a a a b This case is generally performed with the reverse procedure to the folding noted above. However, the order is not limited to this. In essence, it is essential that each of the grounding partsof the pair of fence portionsbe grounded simultaneously, and that the fence portionand the fence portionbe linked.

10 FIG. 100 41 41 24 24 23 23 24 24 41 411 24 24 411 41 41 100 41 23 23 23 23 100 10 a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a In a state like that shown in, when setting up the top game boardon the floor and erecting the fence portion, at least at the end of the period of erecting the fence portion, it is preferable that the grounding partof the hingeprotrude downward and be grounded, and it is more preferable that the inner ends of the floor plate portions,split from each other. By using such a configuration, the grounding partof the hingeprotrudes downward, so unless the pair of fence portionsis erected to the end, and each of the grounding partsis grounded, the grounding partof the hingeand only one of the grounding partsof the pair of fence portionsare grounded unstably. As a result, it is possible to make it so that unless the pair of fence portionsare fully erected, use as the top game boardis not possible. In the end of the erection period of the fence portion, the inner ends of the floor plate portions,are split from each other, and the floor plate portions,are tilted, so it is physically difficult to play, so this cannot be used as the top game board. It is also easy to notice the risk of misfiring visually, and possible to effectively prevent misfiring of the topin that state.

100 41 41 41 23 a a a a 10 FIG. When installing the top game boardand attempting to erect the fence portionin the state shown in, it is also possible to configure so that unless the fence portionis fully erected, the fence portioncollapses with respect to the surface of the floor plateby its own weight or by energization.

23 23 41 41 23 100 a a a b a When folding the two floor plate portions,, the fence portions,are configured to be able to be superimposed on the floor plate portion, making it easy to carry and store away the top game board.

41 41 23 a b a The superimposed fence portions,are folded onto the surface of the floor plate portion, so it is possible to very easily perform transformation.

41 41 41 41 40 b a a a The configuration is such that fence portionis connected to the fence portionso that the base end side can fold onto the fence portion, and the free end can be connected to the other fence portion, so it is possible to obtain a very strong fence.

41 410 41 23 410 41 410 41 a a a a a a a a On the fence portion, the bent partthat bends in the direction orthogonal to the fold is formed at each end in the longitudinal direction, and when the fence portionis folded onto the surface of the floor plate portion, the bent partof one fence portionand the bent partof the other fence portionare configured to be able to be connected to each other, so handling is easy when in the contracted state.

100 In the abovementioned embodiment, the structure was made to be foldable without disassembling the top game board, but it is also possible to have a structure in which the fence can be removed from the floor plate. In this case, the structure can be such that the removed fence is folded, and it is also possible to have a structure in which it can be disassembled into a number of items. In this case, though not particularly limited, it is preferable to have a structure in which the plurality of disassembled fence portions can be superimposed.

20 40 23 23 23 a a a In the embodiment noted above, when folding the floor plate, the fencewas made to be able to be folded to outside the floor portion, but it is also possible to make it so the floor plate portioncan be folded to the inside when a space is formed on the inside of the floor plate portion. In this case, the configuration is such that the fence can be removed from the floor plate and the removed fence can be folded or can be disassembled, and it is also possible to have a structure in which the folded or disassembled fence is housed in that space.

41 41 20 41 20 41 20 41 41 41 41 b a b b b b a b In the embodiment noted above, the configuration was such that after the fence portionwas folded to the fence portion, those can be folded onto the floor plate, but it is also possible to make it possible to fold the fence portiondirectly onto the floor platewhen the fence portionis connected to the floor plateusing hinges. In this case, when the fence portionis erected, it is preferable that the fence portionbe engaged with the adjacent fence portionor the fence portionby, for example, a fitting structure using recesses and projections, or an engagement structure like that in the embodiment.

40 In the embodiment noted above, the fencewas a plate member made of plastic, but it is also possible to use a structure that stretches a net made of synthetic resin, etc., over a plurality of supports. In this case, it is possible to use a structure in which the net is removed from the supports and the supports are folded onto the floor plate, or a structure in which the net is removed from the floor plate together with the supports. Furthermore, it is also possible to remove the net and the supports separately.

41 b It is also possible to have only the fence portionorthogonal to the fold be the net.

410 41 20 41 20 410 41 410 41 a a a a a a a In the embodiment noted above, the configuration was such that the bent partis provided on each side of the fence portion, that the floor plateis folded, and when the fence portionis folded onto the floor plate, the bent partsof the pair of fence portionsare made to abut, but it is also possible to not provide the bent parts. In this case, the connection between the pair of fence portionsin the contracted state can also be performed using a hook with a hook shape, or performed using a band.

24 20 30 23 23 a a In the embodiment noted above, the hingeswere provided on the bottom surface of the floor plate, but it is also possible to use a pin provided on the wallof one floor plate portionand to connect the floor plate portionsto each other to be foldable.

41 20 41 41 a a a In the embodiment noted above, when in a use state, the fence portionwas erected with respect to the floor platemanually, but it is also possible to energize the fence portionin the erecting direction using a spring, and possible to operate the fence portionin resistance to the energizing force when folding.
