Summary

A thing that structure in itself is very simple, and an iron ball rolls on the course consisting of two rails. The iron ball which arrived at the terminal of the course continues moving by potential energy by the height after movement by an elevator again to the terminal to the initial point.

I can make a great variety of one's own courses as far as it is a product enjoying a run after the completion from the making of the course, and resources and the idea of the creator permit it. Gimmick parts such as "seesaw" "moonsault" "start unit" "divergence" are attached depending on the series.

History

It is released in 1983 and sells approximately 1 million (series total) during four years. It went out of print, but consumers request type shopping site received a request of the rerelease in "I beg you", and the new series was released afterwards in 2005.

Component

• Iron ball

The iron ball which rolls on a course. I use the carbon steel ball of the 1/2 inch.

• Support shaft

I am used for the fixation of the course and the constitution of the elevator. I use an aluminum shaft of 5mm in diameter.

• Rail

The nylon tube of the 1/8 inch to be used to make a course.

• Rail support

Parts to prevent fixing the distance of two rails, and an iron ball from falling.

• Arm parts

The rail support that I can fix to the support shaft. I can prevent the bend of the course by the heaviness of the iron ball.

Gimmick parts

The gimmick parts are installed in the middle of a course, and they are parts / unit group giving a change for the run of the iron ball. There is the thing which does not say that it is attached by the series.

• Seesaw

I am constructed by the rail which I cut into short pieces and the seesaw parts which a weight is fitted with in the rear, and a connection part with the shaft becomes the fulcrum. When there is an iron ball, I send a degree of leaning, the iron ball which I got on to the lower course and come back to the again original degree of leaning when an iron ball disappears.

• Moonsault

I am comprised by central rotary unit and ball tray, shaft two different in the length and weight. I carry an iron ball to the lower course when I receive an iron ball in a ball tray while length turns.

• Divergence

I am constructed by course divergence parts. It is the part which divides one course into two and changes the line of the passing iron ball in turn.

• Start unit

The unit which stops the movement of the iron ball which penetrated until the next iron ball penetrates. I do not emit an iron ball like a catapult.

• Elevator

I am constructed by the central main shaft through three lateral shafts and spiral parts, a motor box. The side turns a main shaft by a motor and carries an iron ball contained between a shaft more lateral than a course terminal to the course initial point of the elevator upper part.

Representative course layout

• Loop

The iron ball which ran from the upper course passes the vertical course that I turned. Drops more than the twice the loop diameter are necessary to prevent an iron ball from stalling on the way.
