Description

本発明は、複数の遊技機(例えば、パチンコ機など)が設置された遊技島内での遊技球の循環(島内循環)、及び遊技島間での遊技球の循環(島間循環)を行う遊技場設備に関する。   The present invention provides a game hall facility for circulating game balls (intra-island circulation) within a game island where a plurality of gaming machines (for example, pachinko machines, etc.) are installed, and for circulating game balls (island circulation) between game islands. About.

遊技場のパチンコ機等の遊技機は、遊技島又は遊技機設置島(場合により、単に島という。)と呼ばれる設備の両面又は片面に複数並べて設けられる。また、この遊技島は、通常遊技場フロア上に複数並列に設置される。そして、パチンコ機などでは、例えば連続的に大当たりとなることがあり、そのような状態となった遊技機が設置された遊技島では、多数の出球が発生するため、タンクにおける遊技球の保有量が極端に少なくなり、その景品球として払い出された多数の遊技球をなるべく速やかに補給する必要がある。
また一方では、まったく大当たりが発生しなかったり、遊技者が少なかったりすると遊技島から排出される遊技球が極端に少なくなり、遊技島のタンクに保有されている遊技球が余りがちになるといったこともあり得る。
A plurality of gaming machines such as pachinko machines in a game arcade are provided side by side or on one side of equipment called a gaming island or a gaming machine installation island (in some cases, simply called an island). In addition, a plurality of the game islands are usually installed in parallel on the game floor. And with pachinko machines, etc., for example, it may be a big hit continuously, and on the gaming island where such a gaming machine is installed, a lot of balls are generated, so possession of gaming balls in the tank The amount is extremely small, and it is necessary to replenish a large number of game balls paid out as the prize balls as quickly as possible.
On the other hand, if there is no big hit or there are few players, the game balls discharged from the game island will be extremely small, and the game balls held in the tank on the game island will tend to be excessive There is also a possibility.

したがって、遊技球を貯留し、貯留した遊技球を必要に応じて排出して遊技島の各遊技機に送球して循環させるとともに、遊技機から景品球として払い出されて計数器より回収される遊技球を、各遊技島の球量がなるべく適正範囲に保たれるように、各遊技島に還元する設備の重要性が、近年益々増大している。
そして、この種の設備としては、例えば特許文献1に開示された遊技場設備が知られている。これは、遊技島間に2本の樋を互いに逆傾斜で架け渡すとともに、該2本の樋の夫々を閉鎖するシャッターを設けて、お互いに他の遊技島に対する遊技球の供給を制御できるようになっている。
また、計数機が併設された遊技島の遊技球回収樋(遊技機や計数機から排出される遊技球を島底部中央に向けて回収する回収樋)の計数機側壁には遊技球回収樋内の遊技球の貯留状態を検出するセンサ(検出器)が設けられ、このセンサからの検出信号によって島間樋のシャッターを制御することにより、計数機から遊技球回収樋に景品球が流入して遊技球回収樋内が充満しそうな場合には、他の遊技島からの遊技球の流入を防ぐことができ、各遊技島の球量が適正範囲に保たれるようになっている。
Therefore, the game balls are stored, and the stored game balls are discharged as necessary and sent to each game machine on the game island to be circulated, and are paid out as a prize ball from the game machine and collected by the counter. In recent years, the importance of facilities for returning game balls to each game island is increasing more and more so that the ball quantity of each game island is kept in an appropriate range as much as possible.
And as this kind of equipment, for example, a game hall equipment disclosed in Patent Document 1 is known. This is so that two cages are bridged between the game islands with opposite inclinations, and a shutter for closing each of the two cages is provided so that the supply of game balls to the other game islands can be controlled. It has become.
In addition, there is a game ball collection basket on the side wall of the game ball collection basket on the game island with a counter (collection basket for collecting game machines and game balls discharged from the counter toward the center of the island bottom). A sensor (detector) for detecting the storage state of the game balls is provided, and by controlling the shutter of the island between islands by a detection signal from this sensor, the prize balls flow from the counter to the game ball collection basket. When the inside of the ball collection basket is likely to be filled, the inflow of game balls from other game islands can be prevented, and the ball quantity of each game island is kept within an appropriate range.

B. Next, a schematic configuration of each game island and an outline of the flow of game balls will be described.
As shown in FIG. 1, in addition to the upper tank 13 described above, each gaming island is arranged on a relatively lower side of the island to store game balls (in Kojima, the Kojima tank 31; in the parent island, A parent island tank including the same tank as the child island tank 31), a ball lifting device 33 disposed in the approximate center of the longitudinal direction of the island (the direction in which gaming machines are arranged), and the ball lifting device 33 as a center. A game ball collecting basket 34 (collection basket of the present invention) disposed below each gaming machine so as to extend on both sides, and a game ball in the upper tank 13 connected to both lower sides of the upper tank 13 are connected to each gaming machine. A game ball replenishment rod 40 to be replenished, and a descent channel (circulation channel or overflow flow not shown) that causes the game ball in the upper tank 13 to flow down to the child island tank 31 or the parent island tank or the game ball collection rod 34 in the own island. In the case of roads and parent islands That. Note that the game ball moving paths (each kite and flow path) other than the lifting path by the ball lifting device 33 are all moved by their own weight.

なお、球揚送装置33と遊技球補給樋40は、本発明の供給装置を構成している。また、遊技球回収樋34と供給装置(球揚送装置33と遊技球補給樋40)は、本発明の遊技球循環機構を構成している。
また、親島タンクは、子島タンク31と同一の小型タンクと、この小型タンクの上流に接続され、この小型タンクよりも大型な大型タンクよりなる。そして、この小型タンクの遊技球量が少なくなると、大型タンクより遊技球が小型タンク内に補給される構成となっている。以下では、この親島タンクの小型タンクの部分も、子島タンク31と呼び、重複する説明を省略する。
Note that the ball lifting device 33 and the game ball supply basket 40 constitute the supply device of the present invention. Further, the game ball collection basket 34 and the supply device (the ball lifting device 33 and the game ball supply basket 40) constitute the game ball circulation mechanism of the present invention.
The parent island tank is composed of the same small tank as the child island tank 31 and a large tank that is connected upstream of the small tank and is larger than the small tank. When the amount of game balls in the small tank decreases, the game balls are supplied to the small tank from the large tank. Hereinafter, the small tank portion of the parent island tank is also referred to as a child island tank 31, and redundant description is omitted.

また、親島10aの回収球流路は、上部補助タンク13bに上端が接続され、島間回収樋から流入した遊技球を親島タンクの大型タンクに流下させるものである。
また、親島10aの循環流路の下端は、子島タンク31内に配置され、循環流路から排出される遊技球は、上記子島タンク31内に流下する構成となっている。
また、子島タンク31は、球揚送装置33の近傍の遊技球回収樋34の上方の空きスペースを、その設置空間とするタンクである。
The recovery ball channel of the parent island 10a has an upper end connected to the upper auxiliary tank 13b, and allows the game ball flowing from the inter-island recovery tank to flow down to the large tank of the parent island tank.
Further, the lower end of the circulation channel of the parent island 10 a is disposed in the child island tank 31, and the game balls discharged from the circulation channel flow down into the child island tank 31.
In addition, the Kojima tank 31 is a tank that uses the empty space above the game ball collection basket 34 in the vicinity of the ball lifting device 33 as its installation space.

そして遊技球は、概略次のように島内を循環する構成となっている。
即ち、各遊技機から排出される遊技球(アウト球等)は、まず島の下部(各遊技機の下側)の左右方向に傾斜した状態に設けられた遊技球回収樋34により回収されて、島の略中央底部の位置に集められる。この位置には、球揚送装置33の下端側の入口が配置されており、この位置に集められた遊技球は図示省略した整列装置により、整然と球揚送装置33に入り、この球揚送装置33で研磨されつつ揚送され、球揚送装置33の上端側の出口から前述の上部タンク13における上部主タンク13a内の上部に排出される。
The game ball is generally configured to circulate in the island as follows.
That is, game balls (out balls, etc.) discharged from each game machine are first collected by a game ball collection basket 34 provided in a state inclined in the left-right direction at the lower part of the island (under each game machine). Collected at the bottom of the center of the island. An entrance on the lower end side of the ball lifting device 33 is disposed at this position, and the game balls collected at this position enter the ball lifting device 33 in an orderly manner by an alignment device (not shown). It is lifted while being polished by the device 33, and is discharged from the upper end side outlet of the ball lifting device 33 to the upper part of the upper main tank 13 a in the upper tank 13.

なお、計数器12が受入れた遊技球も、計数器12の裏面側(島の側壁の内側)に突出する排出口12a(図7に示す)より、遊技球回収樋34の始端部に流れ落ちるようになっており、遊技機から排出された遊技球と同様に回収され、球揚送装置33に送られる。
次に、球揚送装置33から上部主タンク13a内の上部に排出された遊技球は、島間樋、遊技球補給樋40、循環流路、オーバーフロー流路の順に優先して供給される。即ち、まず島間樋に供給され、島間樋の入口が遊技球により満杯となっていると遊技球補給樋40に供給され、遊技球補給樋40の入口が遊技球により満杯となっていると循環流路に供給され、循環流路の入口が遊技球により満杯となっているとオーバーフロー流路に供給される。
なお、遊技球補給樋40に流入した遊技球は、島の上部(各遊技機の上側)の左右方向に傾斜した状態に設けられた各遊技球補給樋40により各遊技機に供給される。遊技球補給樋40には、各遊技機に対応する複数箇所にシュートと呼ばれる遊技球の分配器(図示省略)が設けられており、この分配器の動作により適宜補給が必要な遊技機や遊技機に付設された球貸機に上記遊技球補給樋から遊技球が補給される。
The game balls received by the counter 12 also flow down from the discharge port 12a (shown in FIG. 7) protruding to the back side of the counter 12 (inside the side wall of the island) to the start end of the game ball collection basket 34. It is collected in the same manner as the game balls discharged from the gaming machine and sent to the ball lifting device 33.
Next, the game balls discharged from the ball lifting device 33 to the upper part of the upper main tank 13a are supplied with priority in the order of the island cage, the game ball supply basket 40, the circulation channel, and the overflow channel. That is, it is first supplied to the island, and when the entrance of the island is filled with game balls, it is supplied to the game ball supply basket 40, and when the entrance of the game ball supply basket 40 is filled with game balls, it is circulated. When the inlet of the circulation channel is filled with game balls, it is supplied to the overflow channel.
The game balls that have flowed into the game ball supply basket 40 are supplied to each game machine by each game ball supply basket 40 provided in an inclined state in the left-right direction at the upper part of the island (upper side of each game machine). The game ball replenishment rod 40 is provided with a game ball distributor (not shown) called a chute at a plurality of locations corresponding to each game machine. The game balls are replenished from the game ball replenishment cage to the ball lending machine attached to the machine.

また子島の場合、島間補給樋(又は島間補給樋と上部タンクへの接続関係が同じである交流樋)から流入した遊技球は、遊技球補給樋40、循環流路の順に優先して供給される。なお、遊技球補給樋40及び循環流路の入口が遊技球により満杯となっていると、この島間補給樋からの遊技球の流入が止まる。
また子島の場合、島間回収樋(又は島間回収樋と上部タンクへの接続関係が同じである交流樋)から流入した遊技球は、オーバーフロー流路に供給され、遊技球補給樋40及び循環流路の入口が遊技球により満杯となっていても、島下部(球貯留タンク側)に流下する。
なお親島の場合、島間回収樋から流入した遊技球は、前述した回収球流路により、親島タンクの大型タンク内に流下する。
In the case of Kojima, game balls that have flowed in from the inter-island supply rod (or the interchange rod with the same connection relationship between the island and the upper tank) are supplied with priority in the order of the game ball supply rod 40 and the circulation channel. Is done. In addition, when the game ball supply basket 40 and the entrance of the circulation channel are filled with game balls, the flow of game balls from the inter-island supply basket stops.
In the case of Kojima, the game balls that have flowed in from the inter-island recovery rods (or the alternating current rods connected to the inter-island recovery rods and the upper tank) are supplied to the overflow channel, and the game ball replenishment rod 40 and the circulation flow are supplied. Even if the entrance of the road is filled with game balls, it will flow down to the lower part of the island (on the side of the ball storage tank).
In the case of the parent island, the game balls that have flowed in from the inter-island collection basket flow down into the large tank of the parent island tank through the above-described collection ball channel.

そして、島間樋や遊技球補給樋40に供給されずに上部主タンク13a内で過剰となった遊技球は、通常は循環流路を経由して、この循環流路が充満状態の場合には、オーバーフロー流路を経由して、島下部(球貯留タンク側)に流下する。この場合、循環流路を経由して流下した遊技球は、子島タンク31の内部所定深さの位置に排出される。また、オーバーフロー流路を経由して流下した遊技球は、子島タンク31が満杯でない場合には、主に子島タンク31内に流下し、子島タンク31が満杯の場合は、遊技球回収樋34に流下する構成となっている。   The game balls that are excessively supplied in the upper main tank 13a without being supplied to the island cage or the game ball replenishment rod 40 are usually passed through the circulation channel, and when this circulation channel is full. Then, it flows down to the lower part of the island (on the sphere storage tank side) via the overflow channel. In this case, the game ball that has flowed down through the circulation channel is discharged to a position at a predetermined depth inside the Kojima tank 31. In addition, the game balls that have flowed down through the overflow channel mainly flow into the Kojima tank 31 when the Kojima tank 31 is not full, and when the Kojima tank 31 is full, the game balls are collected. It is configured to flow down to the ridge 34.

Note that the front wall 34 b and the rear wall 34 c (shown in FIG. 3 and the like) of the game ball collection basket 34 are joined to the inner surface of the bottom component member 53.

そして、遊技球回収樋34の始端部(排出口12aの下方)には、遊技球回収樋34における球の貯留状態を検出する検出部54が設けられている。
この検出部54は、遊技球が遊技球回収樋34に所定量以上滞留したことを検出して検出信号を出力する検出器55と、この検出器55を取り付けた壁状部材56と、この壁状部材56の両縁部を上方から挿通する溝部57,58(図4に示す)と、この溝部57,58に挿通された壁状部材56を上方から覆う蓋部材59と、から構成されている。
ここで、検出器55が出力する前記検出信号は、例えば次のように利用される。即ち、この信号を受けた当該遊技島の島制御装置は、隣接する他の島の島制御装置に、当該遊技島の遊技球回収樋34に遊技球が所定量以上滞留していることを示す信号を送信する。そして、この信号を受けた隣接する島は、当該遊技島に向かって遊技球を移動させる島間樋のシャッターを閉じて、当該遊技島において遊技球が過剰となることを阻止する。
A detection unit 54 that detects the storage state of the balls in the game ball collection basket 34 is provided at the start end of the game ball collection basket 34 (below the discharge port 12a).
The detection unit 54 detects a game ball staying in the game ball collection basket 34 at a predetermined amount or more and outputs a detection signal, a wall-like member 56 to which the detector 55 is attached, Groove portions 57 and 58 (shown in FIG. 4) that are inserted through both edges of the groove-like member 56 from above, and a lid member 59 that covers the wall-like member 56 inserted through the groove portions 57 and 58 from above. Yes.
Here, the detection signal output from the detector 55 is used as follows, for example. In other words, the island control device of the game island that has received this signal indicates that the game ball stays in the game ball collection cage 34 of the game island in the adjacent island control device of the other island. Send a signal. Then, the adjacent island that has received this signal closes the shutter of the island fence that moves the game ball toward the game island to prevent the game balls from becoming excessive on the game island.

また溝部57は、図4に示すように、遊技球回収樋34の端壁34aの内面前側に接合させて取り付けられた端板61と、遊技球回収樋34の前面壁34bの内面に接合させて取り付けられた前板63との間の隙間として形成されている。また溝部58は、図4に示すように、遊技球回収樋34の端壁34aの内面後側に接合させて取り付けられた端板62と、遊技球回収樋34の後面壁34cの内面に接合させて取り付けられた後板64と、の間の隙間として形成されている。   Further, as shown in FIG. 4, the groove portion 57 is joined to the end plate 61 attached to the front side of the inner surface of the end wall 34a of the game ball collection basket 34 and the inner surface of the front wall 34b of the game ball collection basket 34. It is formed as a gap between the front plate 63 attached. Further, as shown in FIG. 4, the groove 58 is joined to the end plate 62 attached to the rear side of the inner surface of the end wall 34a of the game ball collection basket 34 and the inner surface of the rear surface wall 34c of the game ball collection basket 34. It is formed as a gap between the rear plate 64 attached thereto.

なお壁状部材56には、図6に示すように、検出器55の四隅にある取付穴55aに対応した取付穴56aが形成され、これら取付穴55a,56aを利用して検出器55が例えばネジ止めによって壁状部材56に固定される。また壁状部材56には、図6に示すように、検出器55の背面に位置する開口56bが形成され、この開口56bを介して検出器55の配線処理等が行われる。また、端板61と端板62の間の空間は、上記開口56bの裏側に位置し、検出器55の配線処理用空間65(図4に示す)を構成している。   As shown in FIG. 6, the wall-like member 56 is formed with mounting holes 56a corresponding to the mounting holes 55a at the four corners of the detector 55, and the detector 55 can be used, for example, by using these mounting holes 55a and 56a. It is fixed to the wall-shaped member 56 by screwing. Further, as shown in FIG. 6, the wall-like member 56 is formed with an opening 56b positioned on the back surface of the detector 55, and the wiring processing of the detector 55 is performed through the opening 56b. The space between the end plate 61 and the end plate 62 is located on the back side of the opening 56b and constitutes a wiring processing space 65 (shown in FIG. 4) of the detector 55.

また図4に示すように、遊技球回収樋34の前面壁34bと後面壁34cの右端(端壁34aの側の端)の上面には、蓋部材59の厚さに対応する深さの切欠き66,67が形成されている。
そして、前述の端板61,62や前板63や後板64の上端面は、前記切欠き66,67と同一平面にあって、前記切欠き66,67と共に、蓋部材59の載置部を構成している。即ち、蓋部材59は、回収樋34に設けられた上記載置部(端板61,62や前板63,後板64や切欠き66,67の上面)に前端縁や後端縁等を載せることによって、非固定状態で載置される。この場合図7に示すように、上記載置部は内側(島の中央)に向かって下方に若干傾斜しており、これによって蓋部材59も同様に傾斜している。
Further, as shown in FIG. 4, the upper surface of the right end (end on the end wall 34a side) of the front wall 34b and the rear wall 34c of the game ball collecting basket 34 is cut to a depth corresponding to the thickness of the lid member 59. Notches 66 and 67 are formed.
The upper end surfaces of the end plates 61 and 62, the front plate 63, and the rear plate 64 are in the same plane as the notches 66 and 67, and together with the notches 66 and 67, the mounting portion of the lid member 59 is mounted. Is configured. That is, the lid member 59 has a front edge, a rear edge or the like on the above-described placement portion (the upper surfaces of the end plates 61, 62, the front plate 63, the rear plate 64, and the notches 66, 67) provided on the collection basket 34. By placing it, it is placed in an unfixed state. In this case, as shown in FIG. 7, the placement portion described above is slightly inclined downward toward the inside (center of the island), and the lid member 59 is similarly inclined.

また蓋部材59は、図4や図5に示すように、右端側(端壁34aの側)に比較的前後寸法の大きい大幅部59aが形成され、左端側に比較的前後寸法の小さい小幅部59bが形成され、前後方向両端面における大幅部59aと小幅部59bの境界位置に段部59cを有する。
ここで、蓋部材59を前記載置部に載せた組み付け状態では、図3に示すように、大幅部59aの前後方向両端が前記切欠き66,67にはまり込み、小幅部59bの前後方向両端が横板63,64の上面に載り、前記段部59cが前記切欠き66,67の段部に当接することによって、蓋部材59の位置決めが為されるとともに、蓋部材59の島中央側(傾斜方向)への落下が阻止される。
As shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, the lid member 59 has a large portion 59a having a relatively large front and rear dimension on the right end side (end wall 34a side), and a small width portion having a relatively small front and rear dimension on the left end side. 59b is formed, and has a stepped portion 59c at the boundary position between the large portion 59a and the small width portion 59b on both end faces in the front-rear direction.
Here, in the assembled state in which the lid member 59 is placed on the mounting portion, as shown in FIG. 3, both ends in the front-rear direction of the large portion 59a fit into the notches 66 and 67, and both ends in the front-rear direction of the small-width portion 59b. Is placed on the upper surfaces of the horizontal plates 63 and 64, and the step portion 59c contacts the step portions of the notches 66 and 67, whereby the lid member 59 is positioned and the center side of the island of the lid member 59 ( (Falling direction) is prevented.

そして図5に示すように、蓋部材59は、衝撃吸収性材71,72,73を備え、上面に計数器12(計数装置)からの計数球Kが衝接する衝接部を形成し、該衝接部に衝接した球を遊技球回収樋34へ落下させる構成となっている。
即ち、蓋部材59(蓋部材59の本体部分)の上面側と下面側には、シート状の衝撃吸収性材71,72,73が配設されている。これら衝撃吸収性材71,72,73は、蓋部材59上に落下する球の運動エネルギーを吸収する衝撃吸収性を持つ材質よりなる。例えば、原料としては、天然ゴムなどの天然樹脂でもよいし、合成ゴムなどの合成樹脂でもよく、また、成型時に発泡させることによって上記衝撃吸収性を高めた発泡樹脂でもよい。
ここで、上面側の衝撃吸収性材71は、蓋部材59の上面全体を覆う寸法形状とされているが、下面側の衝撃吸収性材72,73は、前記載置部(例えば前板63や後板64の上面)に対応する寸法形状となっている。
As shown in FIG. 5, the lid member 59 includes shock absorbing materials 71, 72, and 73, and forms an abutting portion on which the counting ball K from the counter 12 (counting device) abuts, The ball hitting the hitting part is dropped to the game ball collecting basket 34.
That is, sheet-like shock absorbing materials 71, 72, 73 are disposed on the upper surface side and the lower surface side of the lid member 59 (the main body portion of the lid member 59). These shock-absorbing materials 71, 72, 73 are made of a material having a shock-absorbing property that absorbs the kinetic energy of a sphere falling on the lid member 59. For example, the raw material may be a natural resin such as natural rubber, a synthetic resin such as synthetic rubber, or a foamed resin having improved impact absorption by foaming during molding.
Here, the shock-absorbing material 71 on the upper surface side is sized to cover the entire upper surface of the lid member 59, but the shock-absorbing materials 72 and 73 on the lower surface side are the above-described mounting portions (for example, the front plate 63). And the upper surface of the rear plate 64).

なお、これら衝撃吸収性材71,72,73は、単に載せておくだけでもよいが、蓋部材59の上面又は裏面、或いは前板63や後板64等の上面に接着又は粘着等によって貼り付けるようにしてもよい。
また、上面側の衝撃吸収性材71と下面側の衝撃吸収性材72,73のうち、何れか一方のみを設けた構成でもよい。
いずれにせよ、このような構成によって、計数器12の排出口12aから排出された遊技球Kは、図7に示すように、上記蓋部材59の上面に落下する際に、衝撃を吸収された後、遊技球回収樋34に流下する。
These shock-absorbing materials 71, 72, 73 may be simply placed, but are attached to the upper surface or rear surface of the lid member 59 or the upper surface of the front plate 63, the rear plate 64, etc. by adhesion or adhesion. You may do it.
Moreover, the structure which provided only any one among the impact-absorbing material 71 of the upper surface side and the impact-absorbing materials 72 and 73 of the lower surface side may be sufficient.
In any case, with such a configuration, the game ball K discharged from the discharge port 12a of the counter 12 is absorbed when it falls onto the upper surface of the lid member 59 as shown in FIG. Then, it flows down to the game ball collection basket 34.

以上説明した遊技場設備によれば、各遊技機で使用する遊技球を各遊技島内で循環させる島内循環が行われるとともに、遊技球を必要に応じて遊技島間双方向でやりとりして、各遊技島の遊技球の保有量を適切に保持する島間循環が行えるという、基本的な効果が得られる。
そして本例の場合、上記基本的な効果に加えて、次のような効果が奏される。即ち、検出部54は、検出器55を取り付けた壁状部材56と、該壁状部材56を上方から挿通する溝部57,58と、該溝部57,58に挿通された壁状部材56を上方から覆う蓋部材59と、から構成され、該蓋部材59は、回収樋34に設けられた載置部に非固定状態で載置されるので、検出器55が故障しても、蓋部材59を外して壁状部材56を引き抜けば検出器55が取り出せる。したがって、メンテナンスが容易である。
According to the above-described game hall facilities, the game balls used in each game machine are circulated in the islands, and the game balls are exchanged between the game islands as necessary. A basic effect is obtained that the inter-island circulation can be performed to appropriately maintain the amount of game balls held on the island.
In the case of this example, in addition to the above basic effects, the following effects are achieved. That is, the detection unit 54 includes a wall-like member 56 to which the detector 55 is attached, grooves 57 and 58 that pass through the wall-like member 56 from above, and wall-like members 56 that are inserted through the groove parts 57 and 58 upward. Since the lid member 59 is placed in a non-fixed state on the placement portion provided in the recovery rod 34, even if the detector 55 breaks down, the lid member 59 is covered. By removing and removing the wall member 56, the detector 55 can be taken out. Therefore, maintenance is easy.

また、蓋部材59は、衝撃吸収性材71,72,73を備え、回収樋34に設けられた載置部に非固定状態で載置されるとともに、上面に計数装置12からの計数球が衝接する衝接部を形成し、該衝接部に衝接した球を回収樋34へ落下させるようにしたので、衝接部で遊技球の持つ運動エネルギーを減衰させることができ、回収樋落下時の衝撃を抑えることができ、回収樋34の寿命を延ばすことができると共に、騒音を抑えることができる。   The lid member 59 includes shock absorbing materials 71, 72, 73, and is placed in a non-fixed state on a placement portion provided on the recovery rod 34, and a counting ball from the counting device 12 is placed on the upper surface. Since the impacting portion that impacts is formed, and the ball that has contacted the impacting portion is dropped to the recovery basket 34, the kinetic energy of the game ball can be attenuated at the impacting portion, and the recovery trap falls The impact at the time can be suppressed, the life of the recovery rod 34 can be extended, and the noise can be suppressed.

なお、本発明は上述した形態例に限られず、各種の変形や応用があり得る。
例えば、検出器55を含む検出部54は、計数器12が設けられていない遊技球回収樋34の始端部に設けられていてもよい。但し、計数器12が設けられている場合には、その回収樋34に遊技球が滞留し易く、遊技球が過剰になり易いので、制御上そこに検出器を設ける必要性が格段に高い。
The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments, and various modifications and applications are possible.
For example, the detection unit 54 including the detector 55 may be provided at the start end of the game ball collection basket 34 where the counter 12 is not provided. However, in the case where the counter 12 is provided, the game balls are likely to stay in the collection basket 34, and the game balls are likely to be excessive. Therefore, the necessity of providing a detector therefor is extremely high.

また、今回開示された実施の形態はすべての点で例示であって制限的なものではないと考えられるべきである。本発明の範囲は上記した説明ではなくて特許請求の範囲によって示され、特許請求の範囲と均等の意味及び範囲内でのすべての変更が含まれることが意図される。   In addition, it should be considered that the embodiment disclosed this time is illustrative and not restrictive in all respects. The scope of the present invention is defined by the terms of the claims, rather than the description above, and is intended to include any modifications within the scope and meaning equivalent to the terms of the claims.
