【発明の属する技術分野】
この発明はパチンコ遊技機の機内に設けられ、パチンコ球を１球ずつ排出処理する球処理装置、打球供給装置における球通路、パチンコ球の送出手段に侵入してパチンコ球の流下転動の障害となる異物、例えば、遊技者の吸うたばこの灰、マッチ軸、紙等のゴミ等を除去しうるパチンコ機の球送出装置に関する。
【０００２】
【従来の技術】
従来、パチンコ遊技機の遊技盤の裏面には、合成樹脂製の機構基板が装着され、該機構基板には上部に賞球補給タンク、タンクレールが設けられ、そのタンクレールに続いて賞球払い出し駆動ユニット、球切れ検出装置、球抜き装置、下部に賞球通路、溢れ球通路、入賞球集合樋、入賞球集合路、入賞球流路、球送出装置の一例としての入賞球処理装置等が装着されている。
【０００３】
従来の球送出装置の一例としての入賞球処理装置は、遊技盤の入賞口に入った入賞球が集合されて流下される入賞球集合樋、その集合樋から流路を介して一列で導入される入賞球導出路の下部に入賞球検出手段と入賞球を一個ずつ送出しうる送出手段を設け、該送出手段として、パチンコ球繰り出し作用体をソレノイドの作動により一定の角度範囲で往復回動させるように設け、入賞球検出手段により入賞球が検出されると賞球払い出しユニットの賞球払い出し装置を作動して所定数の賞球を払い出すとともにソレノイドの作動でパチンコ球繰り出し作用体を回動して入賞球を一個ずつ入賞球排出通路に排出するように設けられたものがある。
【０００４】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
パチンコ遊技機の前面枠体の下部の球受け皿に入れる打ち球、賞球にたばこの灰、その他のゴミ等の異物が落ちて入り、遊技により打球供出処理ユニットを通じて発射装置に供給され、遊技盤を転動して入賞するときに、異物が球に付着したまま、或いは球とともに入賞口、入賞球集合樋、入賞球導出路へ入り前記した球繰り出し作用体（球切り部材）の上面の球切り面等に落下して留まることがある。球繰り出し作用体の回動時に、その異物が球繰り出し側の通路に落ちれば排出通路に出てしまうのでトラブルは生じないが、球繰り出し通路側とは反対側の器体内部に入ってしまうと、その異物を外部に排出する手段がないために、そこに留まって球繰り出し作用体と器体間に異物が咬み込み、ついには球繰り出し作用体が動かなくなり、入賞球が出なくなり、入賞球の検出ができなくなるので、不都合であった。従来は、球繰り出し作用体が異物で動かなくなったときは、入賞処理装置自体を取り外し、分解して異物を取り除くか、或いは新製品と取り替えるしかなく問題となっていた。
【０００５】
この発明は前記した問題を解決するもので、パチンコ遊技機の機内に設けた入賞球を１球ずつ排出処理する入賞球処理装置等のパチンコ球の送出手段に侵入するたばこの灰、ゴミ等異物を球繰り出し作用体に関連して設けた異物排除手段で器体外部に簡単に除去でき、パチンコ球繰り出し作用体の動作に支障を生じないようにすることのできるパチンコ機を提供することを目的とする。
【０００６】

【０００７】
前記第１の発明は、パチンコ球を送出するための繰り出し作用体の一部に形成された異物排除作用体と、異物排除作用面としての球切り面と、前記異物除去排除孔により異物除去手段が構成されているので、球繰り出し作用体が前記受け止め状態になった際に球切り面に乗った異物を、球繰り出し作用体が前記受け入れ状態となる傾倒状態となった場合に異物除去排除孔を通じて外部に排出させることができる。
【００１２】
【発明の実施の形態】
この発明の実施形態を図面に基づいて説明する。図１はこの発明の球送出装置を備えたパチンコ機の機構基板の背面図、図２はこの発明の球送出装置の斜視図、図３は同正面図、図４は同背面図、図５は同側面図、図６は図３のＸ−Ｘ線における断面図、図７は異物排出状態の断面図である。
【００１３】
図１において、１はパチンコ機の側枠（木枠）、２は前面枠体、３は裏面に装着する合成樹脂製機構基板で、上部に賞球補給タンク４、タンクレール５を設け、そのタンクレールの下流には賞球通路６を介して賞球払い出し装置７が設けられている。この賞球払い出し装置７から払い出される賞球は賞球排出通路を通じて前面枠体の前面の上皿に導出され、溢れ球通路を通じて前面の下皿へ溢れた賞球が導出される。遊技盤の裏面と相対する機構基板３の前面に入賞球を集合する入賞球集合樋８、入賞球流路等が形成され、この入賞球集合樋８、入賞球流路等と連通状に球送出装置の入賞球処理装置１０が設けられる。
【００１４】
この入賞球処理装置１０は、図２乃至図７において、パチンコ機本体に対して着脱可能された球送出ユニット１１に一体化して収容され、該入賞球処理装置１０にパチンコ球の送出制御手段１６が設けられている。球送出ユニット１１に入賞球集合樋８の入賞球を１列に導出する入賞球導出路１２と、その入賞球導出路１２の直下に入賞球を繰り出す側に入賞球導出路に連通して膨出状の球繰り出し通路１３ａが形成された球繰り出し作用体収容部１３と、下部にその通路１３ａに連通した入賞球排出通路１４とが形成されている。その入賞球導出路１２には入賞球を一個ずつ検出する入賞球検出器１５を備え、その入賞球導出路１２の直下の球繰り出し作用体収容部１３に球の送出制御手段１６が設けられる。球の送出制御手段１６は、球繰り出し手段１７と、該球繰り出し手段１７を関連制御する駆動手段２１とからなる。この球送出ユニット１１は、合成樹脂で形成され、機構基板に設けた取付け凹部に前面から装着し、ネジにより着脱自由に取付けられ、入賞装置に互換性をもたせ、修理、点検に便利としてある。入賞球排出通路１４には、その通路の後部中央に前記球繰り出し手段１７の直下に近接してガイド板体１９が設けられている。
【００１５】
入賞球検出器１５は入賞球導出路１２の垂直通路部の下部に取り外し自由に装着され、球繰り出し手段１７の球切り面１７ａで受け止められる一番先頭の入賞球を検出して賞球払い出し装置７に信号を送り、入賞球検出器１５からの信号に基づき所定数の賞球が払い出される。なお、後述の電磁部材は賞球払い出し装置７からの払い出し終了信号に基づいて励磁するように設けられている。
【００１６】
球送出制御手段１６の球繰り出し手段１７は、上端に球切り面１７ａと、一側に一個ずつ球を入れる円弧状球収容部１７ｂとを形成した合成樹脂製球繰り出し作用体で、該球繰り出し作用体１７を球繰り出し作用体収容部１３に軸２０で回動自在に軸支し、常時は垂直位置に復帰するように設け、かつ該球繰り出し作用体１７の一側下部に駆動手段２１として電磁部材２２が関連して設けられ、該パチンコ球繰り出し作用体１７が電磁部材２２の間欠励磁に基づいて駆動されるように設けられる。このパチンコ球繰り出し作用体１７を駆動する電磁部材２２として、ソレノイドを用いる。ソレノイド２２は前記球繰り出し作用体収容部１３の通路部１３ａの側方の取付け部２４にネジで取付けられている。
【００１７】
球繰り出し作用体１７とソレノイド２２を関連させる構成として、球繰り出し作用体１７の下部一側に作用ピン１８が設けられ、かつソレノイド２２にはそのプランジャー２３の下端に連結部材２５が固定されており、該連結部材２５の開口溝２６に前記球繰り出し作用体１７の作用ピン１８が係合され、ソレノイド２２の連結部材２５と共動自由に設け、ソレノイド２２の励磁、消磁時によりプランジャー２３を昇降して球繰り出し作用体１７を回動するように設ける。また、ソレノイド２２のプランジャー２３にはコイルバネ２７が巻装され、該コイルバネ２７により球繰り出し作用体１７が図３に示すように常時は垂直状態に付勢されている。
【００１８】
ソレノイド２２の消磁時には該コイルバネ２７により球繰り出し作用体１７が図３に示すように常時は垂直状態に付勢されて、球繰り出し作用体１７はその球切り面１７ａが前記入賞球導出路１２の直下に臨ませられ、入賞球導出路１２を流下する入賞球は垂直通路に入り、その先頭の入賞球が球繰り出し作用体１７の上面の球切り面１７ａで受け止められる。そして、導入された先頭の入賞球が入賞球検出器１５で検出されると所定数の賞球の払い出しとともに賞球払い出し終了信号でソレノイド２２が励磁され、ソレノイド２２のプランジヤー２３がコイルバネに抗して吸着され作用ピン１８が引き上げられて球繰り出し作用体１７は図７に示すように、一旦右方へ回動されて円弧状球収容部１７ｂが入賞球導出路１２の直下に臨ませられ待機する先頭の入賞球が受入れられる。しかる後、消磁されてコイルバネの作用でプランジャー２３が下降して作用ピン１８が引き下げられ、球繰り出し作用体１７が左方へ回動されて左方の広い球繰り出し通路１３ａを介して下方の入賞球排出通路１４に排出される。
【００１９】
この発明の実施形態は、図２乃至図７に示すように、上記パチンコ遊技機において、この入賞球処理装置１０の球繰り出し作用体１７の上に乗ったたばこの灰、ゴミ等異物を排除するものであり、前記入賞球処理装置１０において、球繰り出し手段の球繰り出し作用体１７の上面にパチンコ球の通過経路内に侵入してパチンコ球の流下転動を障害する異物Ａを強制的に除去する異物除去手段３０が設けられている。
【００２０】
図６および図７における、実施形態では、異物除去手段３０は、異物Ａを機外に導出する四角形等適宜形状の異物除去排除孔３１と、当該異物除去排除孔３１に向けて異物Ａを移動させる異物排除作用力を付与する異物排除作用体３２とからなる。
【００２１】
この異物除去排除孔３１は、入賞球処理装置１０の器体の背面側で、入賞球導出路１２の下面の球繰り出し作用体１７の背面側に相当する位置に四角形等適宜形状の透孔が穿設されている。異物除去排除孔３１の透孔の下部には、球繰り出し作用体１７が所定角度、すなわち作用体の円弧状球収容部１７ｂが入賞球導出路１２の直下に位置する傾倒角度で作用体の背面側が当たりうる突起部３３が形成されている。また、突起部３３の外側上面には入賞球処理装置１０の外方に向かって傾斜するゴミ異物排出傾斜面３３ａが形成されている。これにより異物排除作用体３２より送り出された異物を入賞球処理装置１０に留まらせることなく誘出できるようになっている。このゴミ異物排出傾斜面３３ａは球繰り出し作用体１７のが該突起部に受止められたときの球切り面すなわち異物排除作用面の傾斜角度とほぼ同じとして、ゴミ異物を円滑に誘出できるようにするのが好ましい。かつまた、該突起部３３の内側上面には傾倒する球繰り出し作用体１７を受止める受止め傾斜面３３ｂが設けられ、それ以上回動できないようになっている。
【００２２】
異物排除作用体３２としては、パチンコ球を逐次収容する一方排出作用するパチンコ球の繰り出し作用体に一作用部が付設される。図７において、この球繰り出し作用体１７の上部の球切り面１７ａを異物排除作用面として、球繰り出し作用体１７が球を受入れるために右方へ傾倒時にその異物排除作用面の右方への傾斜と球繰り出し作用体を右方へ回動するときに生ずる遠心力とにより球繰り出し作用体の球切り面の上に乗った異物Ａを右方の異物除去排除孔３１を通じて外部へ排出させる。ごみの排出の際にごみが透孔の口で止まっても球繰り出し作用体で押し出せるように作用体の形状を変えることもできる。なお、球繰り出し作用体１７の上に乗った異物Ａが球を繰り出す方（左方）へ落ちる時は、球とともに広い空間を介して入賞球排出通路１４より外部へ排出することができて動作不良の問題は生じない。
【００２３】
前記実施形態では、異物排除作用体３２として、球繰り出し体の球切り面を異物排除作用体としたが、これに限られるものではなく、球繰り出し作用体の球切り面の形状を異物Ａが後方へ落ちやすい形状とするか、別の異物排除作用体を設けるか、或いは球送出ユニットの入賞球導出路の下面側等に異物排除作用体を設けることもできる。
【００２４】

【００２５】
この発明は上記した構成としたので、図７に示すように、入賞球が入賞球集合樋で集合され一列で導入される入賞球が、入賞球処理装置１０の入賞球導出路１２に入って入賞球検出器で一個づつ検出されて賞球払い出し装置で賞球が所定球数ずつ払い出されるとともにソレノイド２２が励磁されて球繰り出し作用体１７が右方へ回動されて入賞球導出路１２の先頭の球を受入れる際に、球繰り出し作用体１７の球切り面１７ａに落ちるたばこの灰、ゴミ等の異物Ａを右側に設けた異物除去排除孔３１に球切り面の傾斜、球繰り出し作用体の遠心力等で飛ばして、下部を傾斜面とした異物除去排除孔３１を通じて球送出ユニット１１の外部へ排出させる。球繰り出し作用体１７は、しかる後ソレノイド２２のコイルバネの作用により反対側に回動されて球収容部１７ｂがほぼ横向きになると球収容部の傾斜で球が側方の通路へ繰り出され下部の排出通路１４に排出される。
【００２６】
なお、この発明は、上記実施形態に限定されるものではなく、要旨を逸脱しない範囲で変形して実施することができる。パチンコ球の送出手段が、上記パチンコ球の送出制御装置は打球を処理する打球供出処理ユニットにおけるパチンコ球送出部にも適用できる。
【００２７】
