[0007] Dispensing and replenishing device 1 made of synthetic resin or the like
9 is a device for distributing pachinko balls from the main gutter 3 provided on the upper rear side of the pachinko machine 2 and resupplying the pachinko machines 2 as shown in FIG. Narrow attachment bodies 8a, 8b formed in a U-shape in opposite directions
The side plate 4 of the main gutter 3 cut out is inserted, and the bottom plate 5 of the main gutter 3 cut out is mounted and mounted on a thin plate protruding above a discharge path 18 forming an inlet portion 10. Can be Pachinko balls flowing on the bottom plate 5 of the inclined main gutter 3 enter the inlet 10, and are supplied to the pachinko machine 2 from the outlet tube 20 through the inflow path 14, the bend path 16 and the discharge path 18.

The pachinko balls flowing in the main gutter 3 are supplied to a stop plate 12 provided on one side (downstream side where the pachinko balls flow) of an inlet 10 formed so as to be easily supplied to the dispensing and replenishing device 1. It comes into contact and is led to the inflow passage 14 from the inlet 10. The inflow path 14 is slightly wider than one pachinko ball by side plates 13a and 13b parallel to the main gutter 3, and in this example, the bottom plate 11 is connected to the entrance section 10 from the entrance section 10 in order to accelerate the pachinko ball and flow it more smoothly. It is formed to be inclined downward toward 16.

FIG. 3 is a sectional view taken along the line A--A in FIG. 2. The inflow passage 14 is formed by side plates 13a and 13b and a bottom plate 11, and a pachinko ball 50 is placed on the bottom plate 11. A pair of rails 52 are formed in a convex shape at an interval as possible.
Therefore, dust or the like attached to the pachinko balls 50 falls on the bottom plate 11 and does not prevent the flow of the pachinko balls 50. Also, bottom plate 1
1 includes rails 52, 52, the rail 52 and the side plate 13a,
Between 13b have long holes 55 are drilled, are prevented from blocking the flow of pachinko balls have large dust, for example, it is dropped from the slots 55 when the coin or the like is mixed from the slot 55.

Next, the pachinko balls from the inflow passage 14 are:
The vehicle enters a winding path 16 which is connected to the inflow path 14 to change the direction by 180 °. The width of the bent path 16 is formed to be wider than the width of one pachinko ball by the side plate 17a and the linear side plate 17b bent in an elliptical shape, and the distance inside the bent path 16 (that is, as shown in FIG. 1). The length s) of the side plate 17b is formed larger than the radius of the pachinko ball. Therefore, the pachinko balls that have passed through the inflow path 14 from the inlet portion 10 do not suddenly change direction, and flow into the discharge path 18 smoothly because so-called pachinko balls do not mesh with each other.

The inflow path 14 of the side plate 17b and the bent path 16
In this example, the joint 15 between the discharge passage 18 and the inflow passage 14 is formed at a right angle. However, the joint 15 can be formed into an R shape so that the pachinko balls can flow more smoothly. Also, the bottom plate 19 of the bent path 16 is horizontal, that is, the entrance 2 of the bent path 16.
The height of the outlet 5 (the outlet of the inflow passage 14) and the outlet 26 (the inlet of the discharge passage 18) may be the same, but in this example, in order to allow the pachinko balls to flow more smoothly. It is formed so as to be inclined downward from the inlet 25 toward the outlet 26. Needless to say, rails and holes may be formed in the bottom plate 19 as in the inflow passage 14.

The pachinko balls from the winding path 16 are discharged from the discharging path 18.
Through the outlet tube 20 which is vertically provided at the end of the discharge passage 18. This discharge passage 18 is provided with side plates 22a, 2
2b, it is slightly wider than one pachinko ball and is formed parallel to the inflow path 14. The bottom plate 23 may be horizontal from the exit of the bent path 16 to the exit tube 20, but is inclined downward from the exit of the bent path 16 to the exit tube 20 in order to flow the pachinko balls more smoothly. It is provided.

If the inclination of the discharge path 18 is formed to be greater than the inclination of the bent portion 16, the pachinko balls that have exited the bent portion 16 are further accelerated in the discharge path 18, so that when the pachinko balls fall from the outlet cylinder 20, they fall. They are separated from each other. Therefore, it is convenient to count the number of pachinko balls supplied. In addition, a guide 28 is provided in the upstream portion of the outlet tube 20 so that even if the pachinko balls are vertically stacked, one pachinko ball is supplied to the outlet tube 20.

Further, a pair of rails 53 is mounted and fixed on the bottom plate 23 of the discharge passage 18 in the same manner as the bottom plate 11 of the inflow passage 14, and a long hole 58 for removing large dust and the like.
Are drilled. However, in order to remove large dust such as coins which do not fall from the long hole 58 , the side plate 22b is formed with a one-sided door 30 which is turned around a rotation shaft 29 and can be easily opened and closed by a handle 31. I have.

In the pachinko ball dispensing and replenishing apparatus of the present invention, the bending path is formed so that the pachinko balls can be discharged from the lower part of the main gutter. It is needless to say that may be formed.
Since the pachinko ball dispensing and replenishing apparatus of the present invention is formed so that the pachinko balls can be discharged from the lower part of the main gutter as shown in FIG. The distance between the pachinko machines 2, 2 that are installed by the user can be reduced.

The dispensing and replenishing device 1 having the above configuration is fixed in the state shown in FIG. 9 and receives pachinko balls from the main gutter 3 and replenishes them to the pachinko machine 2. That is, the pachinko balls are placed in the inflow path 14.
The water is supplied from the outlet cylinder 20 through the bent path 16 and the discharge path 18, which change the direction. The pachinko balls flow smoothly in the bend path 16 without the pachinko balls being meshed with each other because the distance inside the bend path 16 is greater than the radius of the pachinko balls.

Further, the pachinko balls can be accelerated and flow more smoothly by forming the respective flow paths on the slope, and the resistance of the pachinko balls can be reduced by mounting and fixing the rails in the respective flow paths. Can be smoothed. Further, by forming a hole in the bottom plate, dust can be eliminated and flow can be prevented from being blocked.
