Abstract
A game apparatus in which the spiral spring is wound up by only operation of a handle or the like. The game apparatus comprises an operation member; a movement body for moving reciprocally in accordance with an operation of the operation member; a spiral spring used as a power source; a spiral spring winding-up mechanism for winding up the spiral spring by the operation of the operation member so as to store an energy in the spiral spring; a rotating member which has a display of a path for the movement body and is rotatable; and a power transmitting gear for transmitting the stored energy of the spiral spring to the rotating member to rotate; wherein one end of the spiral spring is engaged with a shaft of the spiral spring winding-up mechanism, which is rotated by the operation of the operation member, and the other end of the spiral spring is engaged with the power transmitting gear so as to enable rotation of the rotating member while the spiral spring is wound up.
