The setting plate 11 has the same number of micro switches 47 as sockets 10 in the switch housing 21 of the switch box 13.
are inserted through the opening 19 and fixed with the lid 49, and the contact control piece 48 of each switch 47 is projected from the window hole 18 to the front part of the bulge 22, and then the control piece 48 is inserted into the opening 19 and fixed with the lid 49.
The board 12 is fixed to the back surface of the game board 55 in such a way that it corresponds to the rear outlet part of each socket 10. The previously described metered ball supply solenoid 44 and spare ball supply solenoid 46 are attached to the solenoid mounting portions 34 and 35 by pre-fitting. A cover plate 50 is provided at the rear open portion of the ramp 34.

On the front side of the game board 55, there is a replenishment gutter 6 whose base end is located at a position to receive the replenishment port 62 and the return ball discharge port 58.
6 is fixed so that the supply port 67 at the upper part of the downstream end faces the slightly upper side of the firing position, and the downstream end is provided with a supply device 68 for receiving the first ball, which is linked to the firing preparation operation of the firing mallet 59. Then, the feeder 68 is swung to match the feed port 67.

The present invention relates to the collection gutter 1 and cut plate 1 illustrated above.

Those that have passed through are returned to the firing position 57 through a bypass circuit made up of external escape gutter 32a, 32b, slope 34, etc., and fired again, and depending on the progress of the game, they may be allowed to be driven by a push button switch, etc. The spare ball replenishment solenoid 46 feeds out the spare balls a ₂ in the preliminary storage path 29 onto the guide rail 56 to flow them to the firing position.
A coin game in which a ball that enters some of the sockets 9a, 9b is treated as an invalid ball, and is returned to the supply gutter 66 from a bypass circuit consisting of external escape gutter 32a, 32b, etc., giving an opportunity to hit the ball again. The functions of the coin game machine 51 can be easily established, and the fixed ball replenishment solenoid 44 and the preliminary replenishment solenoid 46 can be mounted in accurate positions by the solenoid mounting parts 35 and 36, so that the ball circulation of the coin game machine 51 can be easily performed. This has the effect of simplifying the assembly of most of the related mechanisms and accurately maintaining the relationship between each part.
