Next, since the latch circuit 71 is in an unlatched state, the output of the NOR gate 72 is H, so H is input to the NOR gate 95, the output of this NOR gate 95 is L, and the shift register 94 is reset. is not applied. Further, the input from the OR gate 79 to the OR gate 96 is also at L level. And since the output of the AND gate 70 is also L,
The input from the AND gate 70 to the OR gate 94' is also at L level. Therefore, since the shift register 94 operates like a ring counter (see FIG. 15), the eight light emitting diodes repeatedly light up one by one starting from the bottom one.

Since the output of the binary counter 81 is prohibited, no sound is generated from the speaker 62.

() When the one-time operation winning ball switch 63 is closed (however, the output of the OR gate 77 is L).

When the one-time operation winning ball switch 63 is closed, an H clock pulse is output from the inverter 64, the latch circuit 65 is latched, and the output of its output terminal Q becomes H. Then, or gate 7
8 is input with H, and the output of NOR gate 88 becomes L. On the other hand, the output of the AND gate 70 is L
Therefore, the output of the OR gate 87 is L.
As a result, the reset of the binary counter 81 is released. Therefore, the output signal from the output terminal Q _{7 of} the binary counter 81 is input to the OR gate 89 and the solenoid 17 is driven.
Each output signal from Q ₆ and Q ₇ is passed through AND gate 82
0.5 after the output signal from the output terminal _Q7 of the binary counter 81 becomes H.
After a second, the output of the AND gate 82 becomes H and the latch circuit 65 is reset, so the solenoid 17 is driven for only 0.5 seconds (see FIG. 9).

At this time, the output terminal of the binary counter 81
Since the output signal of _Q7 is also input to the one-shot circuit 110, the speaker 62 is driven for the one-shot time and an electronic sound is generated.

Note that the motor 34 is still not driven, and the eight light emitting diodes are in the same lighting state as in ().

() When the winning ball switch 66 is closed (however, the output of the OR gate 77 is L).

When the double-operation winning ball switch 66 is closed, an H clock pulse is output from the inverter 67, the latch circuit 68 is latched, and the output of its output terminal Q becomes H. Then, or gate 7
8 is input with H, and the output of NOR gate 88 becomes L. On the other hand, the output of the AND gate 70 is L
Therefore, the output of the OR gate 87 is L.
As a result, the reset of the binary counter 81 is released. Therefore, the output signal from the output terminal Q ₇ of the binary counter 81 is input to the OR gate 89 and the solenoid 17 is driven, but 24 seconds after the output signal from the output terminal Q ₇ of the binary counter becomes H. Since the output of the output terminal _Q9 of the binary counter 81 becomes H and the latch circuit 68 is reset, the solenoid 17 is driven twice for 0.8 seconds each (see FIG. 10).

At this time, the output terminal of the binary counter 81
Since the output signal of _Q7 is also input to the one-shot circuit 110, the speaker 62 is driven by the amount of two shots, and an electronic sound is generated.

Note that the motor 34 is still not driven, and the eight light emitting diodes are in the same lighting state as in ().

() 18th operation When the winning ball switch 27 is closed.

When the 18th operation winning ball switch 27 is closed, an H clock pulse is output from the inverter 69, and this H clock pulse is applied to the AND gate 70.
is input. At this time, as a matter of course, one of the latch circuits 65 and 68 is latched, so the input from the OR gate 80 to the AND gate 70 is H, so the H clock pulse is output from the AND gate 70. Therefore, the latch circuit 71 is latched, the output from the NOR gate 72 becomes L, and the output from the NOR gate 73 becomes H, and the latch circuit 6
Outputs of 5 and 68 are prohibited. and,()
As in the case of (), the solenoid 17 is driven by the output signal from the output terminal Q ₇ of the binary counter 81, but each output signal from the output terminals Q ₉ and Q ₁₂ of the binary counter 81 is Since the signal is input to the AND gate 83, 28 seconds after the output from the output terminal _Q7 of the binary counter 81 becomes H, the AND gate 83
3 becomes H and the latch circuit 71 is reset, so the solenoid 17 becomes
It will be driven 18 times for 0.8 seconds each (first
See Figure 1. ).

By the way, solenoid 17 and 18 like this
During the 18th movement, switch the winning ball switch 2 again for the 18th time.
7 is closed, the H clock pulse from the AND gate 70 sets the binary counter 81 to the initial state, and the solenoid 17 is driven 18 times from the beginning (see FIG. 12).

Also, when the 10 count switch 26 is closed 10 times during these 18 operations, each output of the output terminals Q ₂ and Q ₄ of the binary counter 75 becomes H,
Since the output of the AND gate 76 becomes H and is input to the OR gate 86, the latch circuit 71 is reset, and at that point, the driving of the solenoid 17 is stopped. In other words, winning openings 7, 7, 1 during the 18th operation
When 10 pachinko balls are won on 3rd, 13th, and 14th, the solenoid 17 is stopped even in the middle of the 18th operation (see Figure 13).

Furthermore, when the 18th operation winning switch 27 is closed, the H clock pulse output from the AND gate 70 is also input to the OR gate 94, and when the latch circuit 71 is latched, H is input to the AND gate 115. Therefore, the electronic sound generation circuit 58 and the melody generation circuit 60 are driven, and a predetermined sound is generated from the speaker 62.

On the other hand, after the latch circuit 71 is latched,
The input from the NOR gate 73 of the OR gate 96 is H, and the binary counter 93
is reset by the input from the NOR gate 73, and the input to the OR gate 94 is switched to the output signal from the AND gate 70. Therefore, each time the winning ball switch 27 that operates 18 times is closed, H is input from the input terminal Da, and 18
Since the rotation winning ball switch 27 is closed for the fourth time, H will be input from the input terminal Db each time, so the eight light emitting diodes will be
The number of winning balls corresponding to the number of times the winning ball switch 27 has been closed will be lit sequentially from one end to the other (see FIG. 16).

Then, the output terminal Qb ₄ of the shift register 94
When the output signal from the inverter 10 becomes H, the inverter 10
Since the output from 3 becomes L and the H output of the AND gate 70 is prohibited, the closing of the 18th operation winning ball switch 27 after the 9th time is invalidated, and the 18th
The rotation operation will be completed after 8 times.

During such 18 operations, the motor 34
Solenoid 17 is activated 12 times or
When the 10 count value reaches "7", the rotating head 31 enters the first state, and then when the solenoid 17 is driven 16 times or when the 10 count value reaches "9", the rotating head 31 enters the second state. However, here the 10 count value is "7".
The following will explain the case where the condition is that the temperature has increased and the solenoid 17 has been driven 16 times (see Fig. 14).

First, when the count content of the binary counter 75 reaches "7", H is output from the AND gate 120, and at this time, the motor stop control switch 42
is open, the waveform shaping circuit 130 outputs an H signal, and the one shot circuit 128 outputs an H signal.
A clock pulse is output, the latch circuit 129 is latched, and the motor 3
4 will be driven. Therefore, the rotating head 31 rotates from the second state toward the first state.

When the rotating head 31 is in the first state, the slave lever 41A of the motor stop control switch 41 moves into the groove 40.
B, the switch 41 is opened, and the one-shot circuit 132 outputs an H clock pulse, which resets the latch circuit 129. The motor 34 is stopped, and the latch circuit 129 is then reset. The rotary head 31 will be held in the first state until it is latched.

If the solenoid 17 is driven 12 times while the rotating head 31 is in the first state, the output of the AND gate 121 becomes H, but the motor stop control switch 42 is in the closed state. Therefore, since the output of waveform shaping circuit 130 is L, no H clock pulse is output from one shot circuit 128, and latch circuit 129 is not latched.

Then, when the solenoid 17 is driven 16 times, the output of the AND gate 123 becomes H, so an H clock pulse is output from the one shot circuit 128, the latch circuit 129 is latched, and the motor 34 is driven. That will happen. Therefore, the rotating head 31 rotates from the first state to the second state.

When the rotating head 31 is in the second state, the slave lever 41A of the motor stop control switch 41 moves into the groove 40.
A, the switch 41 is opened, the one-shot circuit 132 outputs an H clock pulse, the latch circuit 129 is reset, and the motor 34 is stopped.

In other words, if a pachinko ball is caught and held inside the rotating head 31 when it is in the first state, then when the rotating head 31 is in the second state, the pachinko ball will be placed in the predetermined winning slot. Since the ball will be thrown toward the 14th, there is a high probability that the 18th action will continue, and the game can be enjoyed to the fullest.

The driving timing of the motor 34 for changing the rotating head 31 to the first state may be set at the same time as the latch circuit 71 is latched. In this case, the output of the AND gate 70 may be input to one input terminal of the AND gate 124, as shown by the two-dot chain line in FIG.

This concludes the description of Example 1, and Examples 2 to 6 will be described below. In this case, the description (including illustration) of the common parts with Example 1 will be omitted.

Example 2 In FIGS. 17 and 18, first, 135
is the door plate. This door plate 135 closes the vicinity of the center in the front and back direction between the bottom plate part 6 and the distribution member 28, and supports the support shaft 1 installed between both side plates of the main body 4.
36 supports its upper edge, and is rotatable about this support shaft 136. That is, the door plate 135 is pushed open by the pachinko balls flowing onto the bottom plate part 6 from the rear of the wing bodies 30, 30. A locking member 137 is attached to the bottom plate portion 6 of the main body 4.
It is set up so that it can move forward and backward. This locking member 137 is arranged so as to advance slightly forward of the door plate 135 in the main body 4 without being obstructed by it, and prevents the door plate 135 from opening when in the forward state. These door plates 135 and spindles 136
The lock member 137 constitutes a ball catching/ball releasing mechanism, and when the door plate 135 is locked by the lock member 137, the pachinko ball can be caught and held behind the door plate 135. 1 state, and a second state when the door plate 135 is not locked. In this case, a plurality of pachinko balls can be stored in the first state.

138 is a solenoid, and 139 is its plunger. This solenoid 138 is fixed on a mounting plate (not shown) that is integrated with the main body 4, and a cam lever 140 is pivotally attached to the plunger 139. The cam lever 140 is provided with a tapered portion 141 that abuts the lower end of the locking member 137, and is configured so that the locking member 137 relatively slides on this tapered portion 141 by the reciprocating movement of the plunger 139. As a result, the locking member 137 moves forward and backward. Therefore, the solenoid 138 and the cam lever 140 constitute an operating mechanism here.

Also, here are three 10 count switches 26
One is to detect pachinko balls stored behind the door plate 135 from the distribution member 28 to the bottom plate part 6.
They are also arranged in the middle of the ball path leading to the top, and the others are arranged in the middle of the ball path leading to the winning hole 7. It goes without saying that there is a device that detects the ball that enters the winning opening 13.

In FIG. 19, 142 is a drive control circuit;
43 is a drive circuit.

The drive control circuit 142 includes AND gates 143,1
44, 145, 146 and or gate 147, 14
8 and a latch circuit 149. The outputs of the output terminals Q ₁ to _{Q 3} of the binary counter 75 are input to the AND gate 143 , and the output terminals of the binary counter 81 are input to the AND gate 144 .
The outputs of Q ₁₀ and Q ₁₁ are inputted, and the outputs of these AND gates 143 and 144 are inputted through an OR gate 147 to a clock input terminal C of a latch circuit 149. Therefore, the latch circuit 149 is activated when the 10 count value becomes "7" or when the solenoid 17
It is latched when the number of times it is driven reaches "12". The outputs of the output terminals Q ₁ and Q ₄ of the binary counter 75 are input to the AND gate 145, and the outputs of the output terminals Q ₈ to Q ₁₁ of the binary counter 81 are input to the AND gate 146. The outputs of 145 and 146 are input to the reset terminal R of a latch circuit 149 through an OR gate 148.
is reset when the 10 count value reaches "9" or the number of times the solenoid 17 is driven reaches "16".

The drive circuit 143 has a transistor 150,
The output of the output terminal Q of the latch circuit 149 is input to its base, and the transistor 150 is turned on when the output of the output terminal Q of the latch circuit 149 is H, and energizes the solenoid 138. be.

During the 18th operation of this embodiment with such a configuration,
When the number of times the solenoid 17 is driven reaches "12" or the 10 count value reaches "7", the mechanism consisting of the door plate 135, the spindle 136 and the lock member 137 enters the first state, and the solenoid 17 When the number of times the solenoid 17 is driven reaches "16" or the 10 count value becomes "9", the above mechanism is driven to the second state, but here, the number of times the solenoid 17 is driven becomes "12". With summer
The operation under the condition that the 10 count value becomes "9" is as shown in FIG. 20.

In other words, the number of times the solenoid 17 is driven is "12".
When this happens, the output of the AND gate 144 becomes H,
Latch circuit 149 is latched and solenoid 1
38 is driven. This causes plunger 13
9 is attracted, the cam lever 140 moves forward, the locking member 137 moves forward into the main body 4, and the door plate 135 is locked, resulting in the first state.

Next, when the 10 count value becomes "9", the output of the AND gate 145 becomes H, and the latch circuit 14
9 is reset and the drive of the solenoid 138 is stopped. As a result, the plunger 139 is returned by the spring, and the cam lever 140 is moved backward, and the locking member 137 is retracted from inside the main body 4, and the door plate 135 is unlocked.
The second state is reached.

Therefore, if pachinko balls are stored behind the door plate 135 during the first state, the door plate 135 is pushed open by the pachinko balls when the second state is reached, and the pachinko balls are held in a predetermined position. The ball will be launched towards the winning hole 14.

According to this embodiment, a large number of pachinko balls are stored behind the door plate 135, so when those balls are released, players can win a prize, which doubles the fun.

Embodiment 3 In FIGS. 21 and 22, a cylindrical portion 151 protruding from the back side of the bottom plate portion 6 is formed, and a ball catching hole 152 is formed inside the cylindrical portion 151. The opening inside the main body 4 of this ball catching hole 152 is formed in a size that allows pachinko balls passing above to fall and be caught, and the plunger 154 of the solenoid 153 that constitutes the operating mechanism is opened from the opening on the other end side. is slidably inserted. This plunger 154 also constitutes a ball catching and ball releasing mechanism together with the ball catching hole 152, and when the solenoid 153 is energized, the first plunger 154 is capable of dropping and holding a pachinko ball into the ball catching hole 152. When the solenoid 153 is not energized, the energizing force of the spring advances the pachinko ball to the vicinity of the inner opening of the main body 4 of the ball catching hole 152 and prevents the pachinko ball from falling, and prevents the falling pachinko ball from falling. is pushed out toward a predetermined winning opening 14.

Embodiment 4 In FIGS. 23 to 25, a partition plate 155 is installed in the vicinity of the opening 3 of the main body 4 to divide the flight path of the pachinko balls into front and rear sections with the vicinity of the opening 3 as a boundary. . A box-shaped pedestal 156 is provided behind this partition plate 155, and a ball receiving member 157 is placed on this pedestal 156. This ball receiving member 157 is composed of a ball receiving cup 158 and a slide plate 159.
is slidably inserted into a guide protrusion 160 extending in the front-rear direction on the base surface of the base 156. The ball receiving cup 158 is integrally molded at the tip of this slide plate 159, and is attached to the base 156.
Standing at the forefront of the
2. A stop plate 163 integrally formed with the partition plate 155 stands in front of the ball receiving cup 158, and is adapted to pass through a through hole 164 formed in the stop plate 163 and move forward. There is. The through hole 164 has a shape that is slightly enlarged from the front of the ball receiving cup 158 so that the pachinko balls on the ball receiving cup 158 cannot pass therethrough.

Here, the ball receiving member 157 and the guide recess 1
60 and the stop plate 163 constitute a ball catching and ball releasing mechanism. That is, the ball receiving cup 15
8, when moving forward, it enters between the inner ends of the guide vanes 15, 15 in the open state, waits at that position, and can catch and hold pachinko balls picked up by the guide vanes 15, 15. When the ball receiving cup 158 retreats, the pachinko balls held on the main body 162 are blocked by the stop plate 163 and cannot accompany the ball receiving cup 158, and fall toward the predetermined prize opening 14. As a result, the second state is formed.

A solenoid 165 is mounted on the top plate of the main body 4, and an intermediate portion of a lever lever 167 is pivotally attached to a plunger 166 of the solenoid 165. One end of this lever 167 is supported by a pivot 168 attached to the casing 2 so as to extend left and right, and serves as a pivot point, and the other end is inserted into a connecting hole 169 formed at the tail end of the slide plate 159 so that it can be moved forward and backward. It is pushed in with play. In other words, these solenoid 165, lever lever 167, and support shaft 16
8 constitutes an operating mechanism.

This operating mechanism can be controlled by using the circuit shown in FIG. 19 and replacing solenoid 138 with solenoid 165.

Example 5 In FIGS. 26 to 28, first the distribution member 2
The body 29 of No. 8 is made up of two upper and lower movable bodies 169 and 170, which look like a cylindrical body divided in half. The lower movable body 169 has a ball receiving container part 171 on its head side, and has a power receiving part 172 on its tail side that receives power from a solenoid, which will be described later. This power receiving portion 172 is formed so that the vicinity of the tail portion of the lower movable body 169 is bent downward, and the lower movable body 169 is bent downward at a portion slightly below the bent portion.
9 is rotatably supported. Reference numeral 173 denotes a support shaft thereof, and this support shaft 173 is installed between both side plates of the main body 4. This lower movable body 169
By rotating around this support shaft 173, it is possible to adopt a horizontal position as shown in Fig. 27 and a forward downward position as shown in Fig.28. In this case, the tip of the ball receiving container part 171 is located at the entrance of the predetermined prize opening 14. The upper movable body 170 has a covering part 174 on its head side.
It has a power receiving part 175 on the tail side that receives power from a solenoid, which will be described later. The power receiving portion 175 is formed so that the vicinity of the tail portion of the upper movable body 170 is slightly bent upward, and the upper movable body 170 is rotatably supported at the bent portion. Reference numeral 176 denotes a support shaft thereof, and this support shaft 176 is attached to the rear of the main body 4 so as to extend parallel to the support shaft 173. The upper movable body 170 can assume a horizontal position as shown in FIG. 27 and a forward upward position as shown in FIG. 28 by rotating around this support shaft 173 as a fulcrum. In the horizontal position, the covering part 174
covers the ball receiving container part 171.

The body 29 consisting of these upper and lower movable bodies 169 and 170 constitutes a ball catching/release mechanism, and when the lower movable body 169 is in a horizontal position and the upper movable body 170 is in a forward upward position, the ball is Receiving container part 171
When the lower movable body 169 is in the forward downward position, the pachinko balls held in the ball receiving container part 171 enter the predetermined prize opening 14. The second state is the object that is guided towards the object.

A rear plate 177 is formed in the shape of an outward flange on the back of the main body 4, and solenoids 178 and 179 constituting an operating mechanism are attached to this rear plate 177. 180 is a plunger of the solenoid 178, and 181 is a plunger of the solenoid 179. A power transmission plate 182 is fixed to one end of the plunger 180.
One side of the movable portion 169 contacts the back surface of the power receiving portion 172 of the lower movable portion 169 in order to push it down. One end of the plunger 181 is pivoted to a power receiving portion 175 of the upper movable portion 170.

FIG. 31 shows a control circuit for the actuation mechanism of this embodiment, and since it is substantially the same as that shown in FIG. 19, only the different parts will be explained.

First, two latch circuits 149 and 149' are provided,
One latch circuit 149 latches when the 10 count value reaches "7" or the number of times the solenoid 17 is driven reaches "12", and the solenoid 17 moves the upper movable body 170 with its positive output.
Drive 9. The other latch circuit 149' is 10
The count value becomes "9" or solenoid 1
When the number of times of driving 7 reaches 16, it is latched, and the positive output drives the solenoid 178 that moves the lower movable body 169. Then, the latch circuits 149 and 149' are reset by a signal that latches or resets the latch circuit 71.
183 is an OR gate that outputs the reset signal.

Example 6 In FIGS. 32 and 33, the distribution member 28
The body 29 is formed into a hollow shape, and an electromagnet unit 184 is installed inside the body 29. 1
85 is its iron core, and 186 is a coil. Here, this iron core 185 constitutes a ball catching and ball releasing mechanism,
Coil 186 constitutes the actuation mechanism.

The head of the body 29 is located directly above the predetermined winning port 14, and the iron core 185 is located directly above the predetermined winning port 14 of the head.
Coil 1 is exposed on the side facing the
When the coil 186 is energized, it becomes magnetic (first state) and catches and holds the pachinko ball, and the coil 186
When the energization is cut off, the magnetic force is lost (second state), and the pachinko balls fall toward the predetermined prize opening 14.

FIG. 34 shows a modified example using an electromagnet unit 184, in which the head of the body 29 is retracted from directly above the predetermined prize opening 14, and an iron core 18 is placed in front of it.
5 is exposed, and holding the pachinko ball right above the predetermined winning hole 14 is the same.

The drive control of the electromagnet unit 184 uses the circuit shown in FIG.
It is better to replace 6.

This concludes the explanation of Examples 1 to 6, but instead of releasing the pachinko ball when the number of times the solenoid 17 is driven reaches "16", it is performed after the number of times the solenoid 17 is driven reaches "18". You can do it like this. In this case, it is necessary to delay the reset of the latch circuit 71 by the output of the AND gate 83 because the state of increasing winning probability may continue indefinitely. Also, instead of performing the process when the 10 count value reaches "9", the process may be performed after the same value reaches "10". In short, depending on the circuit design, the timing at which the ball catching/ball releasing mechanism enters the first and second states is not limited to the above and can be changed in various ways.

(Effects of the Invention) As is clear from what has been described above, according to the present invention, the so-called role-playing action can be made to last as long as possible, and furthermore, the method of winning a prize in a predetermined prize opening can be changed. Therefore, it is possible to provide an interesting pachinko machine while making use of the characteristics of the accessory.
