     DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION  
       [0019]    Referring to the drawings and initially to FIGS. 1-4, a hammer striking game in accordance with the preferred embodiment of the present invention comprises a main body  1 , and a hammer module  21 .  
         [0020]    The main body  1  includes a support  2 , and a plurality of targets  20  mounted on the support  2 .  
         [0021]    Each of the targets  20  includes a receiving seat  22 , a signal plate  23 , a trigger plate  26 , a reed switch  262 , an elastic member  25 , and a sponge body  27 .  
         [0022]    The receiving seat  22  is mounted on the support  2  and has a bottom formed with a through hole  221 . The receiving seat  22  has a periphery formed with a shoulder  222 . Preferably, the shoulder  222  of the receiving seat  22  is made of a light permeable material and is flush with a surface of the support  2  as shown in FIG. 4.  
         [0023]    The signal plate  23  is mounted on the bottom of the receiving seat  22 . The signal plate  23  has a central portion provided with a protruding lower trigger seat  231  extended through the through hole  221  of the receiving seat  22  into the receiving seat  22 . The signal plate  23  has a periphery provided with a plurality of light emitting members  232  located under and aligned with the shoulder  222  of the receiving seat  22 .  
         [0024]    The trigger plate  26  made of a flexible material is mounted on the receiving seat  22  and has a bottom provided with an upper trigger seat  261 .  
         [0025]    The reed switch  262  is mounted on an outer surface of the trigger plate  26 .  
         [0026]    The elastic member  25  is mounted in the receiving seat  22  and biased between the trigger plate  26  and the signal plate  23 . The elastic member  25  has a lower end mounted on the lower trigger seat  231  and an upper end mounted on the upper trigger seat  261 , so that the upper trigger seat  261  is spaced from the lower trigger seat  231  by the elastic force of the elastic member  25 .  
         [0027]    The sponge body  27  is mounted on the outer surface of the trigger plate  26  and protrudes outward from the surface of the support  2  as shown in FIG. 4 to protect the parts contained in each of the targets  20 .  
         [0028]    Each of the targets  20  further includes a circuit board  24  mounted on the signal plate  23 . The circuit board  24  is connected to the lower trigger seat  231  and the light emitting members  232  to drive the lower trigger seat  231  and the light emitting members  232 . The circuit board  24  is also connected to the upper trigger seat  261  and the reed switch  262  to drive the upper trigger seat  261  and the reed switch  262 .  
         [0029]    The hammer module  21  includes a first hammer  211  and a second hammer  212 . The second hammer  212  of the hammer module  21  is provided with a magnetic member  213 .  
         [0030]    The hammer striking game further comprises a scoring device  3  mounted on a side of the main body  1  and driven by the circuit board  24  to achieve the scoring effect.  
         [0031]    As shown in FIG. 4, the upper trigger seat  261  is spaced from the lower trigger seat  231  by the elastic force of the elastic member  25  before use of the hammer striking game. After the circuit board  24  is started, the light emitting members  232  of each of the targets  20  blink and emit light outward. In addition, the light emitted from the light emitting members  232  of each of the targets  20  contains at least two colors.  
         [0032]    In operation, the first hammer  211  can be used to strike the targets  20  that emit light having a first color, such as green color, and the second hammer  212  can be used to strike the targets  20  that emit light having a second color, such as red color.  
         [0033]    When the first hammer  211  correctly strikes the corresponding targets  20  that emit light having the first color, the light emitting members  232  of the corresponding targets  20  will emit a third color, such as yellow color, which indicates that the strike is right, and the score is calculated by the scoring device  3 . On the contrary, when the first hammer  211  does not correctly strike the corresponding targets  20  that emit light having the first color, the color of the light emitting members  232  of the corresponding targets  20  will not change, which indicates that the strike is not right, and the scoring device  3  will not calculate the score.  
         [0034]    Similarly, when the second hammer  212  correctly strikes the corresponding targets  20  that emit light having the second color, the light emitting members  232  of the corresponding targets  20  will emit the third color, which indicates that the strike is right, and the score is calculated by the scoring device  3 . On the contrary, when the second hammer  212  does not correctly strike the corresponding targets  20  that emit light having the second color, the color of the light emitting members  232  of the corresponding targets  20  will not change, which indicates that the strike is not right, and the scoring device  3  will not calculate the score.  
         [0035]    In practice, as shown in FIG. 5, when the first hammer  211  correctly strikes the corresponding targets  20  that emit light having the first color, the upper trigger seat  261  and the lower trigger seat  231  contact each other and are triggered to transmit a signal to the circuit board  24 . After the circuit board  24  identifies the signal, the circuit board  24  sends a first signal to the light emitting members  232  of the corresponding targets  20 , such that the light emitting members  232  of the corresponding targets  20  will emit the third color, which indicates that the strike is right. At the same time, the circuit board  24  sends a second signal to the scoring device  3 , so that the scoring device  3  will calculate the score.  
         [0036]    On the contrary, when the second hammer  212  incorrectly strikes the corresponding targets  20  that emit light having the first color, the magnetic member  213  of the second hammer  212  triggers the reed switch  262  to transmit another signal to the circuit board  24 . After the circuit board  24  identifies the erroneous signal, the first color of the light emitting members  232  of the corresponding targets  20  will not change and the scoring device  3  will not calculate the score.  
         [0037]    Similarly, as shown in FIG. 6, when the second hammer  212  correctly strikes the corresponding targets  20  that emit light having the second color, the upper trigger seat  261  and the lower trigger seat  231  contact each other and are triggered and the reed switch  262  is triggered to transmit a signal to the circuit board  24 . After the circuit board  24  identifies the signal, the circuit board  24  sends a first signal to the light emitting members  232  of the corresponding targets  20 , such that the light emitting members  232  of the corresponding targets  20  will emit the third color, which indicates that the strike is right. At the same time, the circuit board  24  sends a second signal to the scoring device  3 , so that the scoring device  3  will calculate the score.  
         [0038]    On the contrary, when the first hammer  211  incorrectly strikes the corresponding targets  20  that emit light having the second color, the reed switch  262  is not triggered while the upper trigger seat  261  and the lower trigger seat  231  contact each other and are triggered to transmit another signal to the circuit board  24 . After the circuit board  24  identifies the erroneous signal, the second color of the light emitting members  232  of the corresponding targets  20  will not change and the scoring device  3  will not calculate the score.  
         [0039]    As shown in FIG. 7, the first hammer  211  and the second hammer  212  are used to strike their corresponding targets  20 , so that the light emitting members  232  of the corresponding targets  20  will emit light of different colors for identification, thereby enhancing amusement and variation of playing the hammer striking game.  
         [0040]    [0040]FIG. 8 shows a circuit diagram of the hammer striking game in accordance with the preferred embodiment of the present invention. The control structure of the circuit board  24  includes a single chip including a press switch, a reed switch, a plurality of light emitting diodes (LED), and a plurality of transistors. According to the preferred embodiment of the present invention, the press switch is the upper trigger seat  261  and the lower trigger seat  231 , the reed switch is the reed switch  262 , and the light emitting diodes are the light emitting members  232 . In addition, the transistors are connected to the scoring device  3 .  
         [0041]    Although the invention has been explained in relation to its preferred embodiment(s) as mentioned above, it is to be understood that many other possible modifications and variations can be made without departing from the scope of the present invention. It is, therefore, contemplated that the appended claim or claims will cover such modifications and variations that fall within the true scope of the invention.
