Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Field of Application] The present invention relates to a ball winning device for a pachinko machine.

[Prior art and its problems] Conventionally, a pair of movable pieces are rotatably mounted on the front surface of a mounting board with an interval between them, and a special prize opening and a general prize opening are provided between the two movable pieces. Various types of hit ball winning devices are known in which a movable piece rotates to be in a state where it is easy to accept the hit ball, thereby receiving the ball and guiding it to a special winning hole or a general winning hole.
However, in most of these, the ball cannot be received into the winning hole when the movable piece does not rotate, so they lack interest.

[Object of the Invention] Therefore, the object of the present invention is to provide a game system in which a ball that passes between the movable pieces is accepted into the winning hole or passed downward as it is even when the movable pieces do not rotate. To provide a ball winning device for a Pachinko machine that attracts the interest of customers and increases the chance of winning, thereby making the game more interesting.

[Means for Achieving the Object] The present invention has a center winning opening and left and right winning openings lined up at the upper position of the mounting board, and a first state in which the left and right winning openings are stopped upright on both sides, and a reverse eight. A pair of movable pieces that can be converted into a second state that tilts in a letter shape are pivoted to face each other, and below the periphery of the center prize opening protrudes toward the front side of the mounting board, and both movable pieces are attached to the first state. In this state, a ball receiving shelf is provided protruding from both sides to form an interval through which the balls can pass.

[Example] An example of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. In the figure, reference numeral 1 denotes a mounting board, on which a center winning hole 2 and left and right winning holes 3, 3 are opened side by side in the upper position of the central part, and the left and right winning holes 3, 3 are opened side by side in the horizontal direction.
A pair of movable pieces 4, 4 are rotatably provided at respective side positions. Reference numeral 5 denotes a decorative cover member fixed to the front surface of the mounting board 1 while covering the front part of the lower part of the movable pieces 4, 4, and has a communicating shape on its inner surface that coincides with the lower side of the periphery of the central prize opening 2. A ball receiving shelf 6 is integrally provided. Reference numeral 7 is a box-shaped frame integrally provided on the back side of the mounting board 1, and partition walls 8, 8 are protruded inside the box-shaped frame to form a ball passage communicating with the center prize opening 2 and the left and right prize openings 3, 3. Ball outlets 9 and 10 are provided respectively.

The movable pieces 4, 4 have a support shaft 1 at a substantially mid-height position.
1 and 11 are fixedly planted, and the support shafts 11 and 11 are projected to the back side of the mounting board 1 and inserted into shaft holes 12 and 12 drilled in the rear wall of the box-shaped frame 7, respectively. An arm member 1 is movably attached to the shaft and has engagement pins 13, 13 protruding from the shaft ends of the support shafts 11, 11.
4 and 14 are fixed respectively. A solenoid 15 serves as a driving means for rotating the movable pieces 4, 4, and is attached to the rear wall of the box-shaped frame 7. solenoid 1
An engaging member 17 is fixed to the lower end of the plunger 16 of No. 5. Elongated holes 18, 1 are provided at both ends of the engaging member 17.
8 are formed, and the engaging pins 13, 13 of the support shafts 11, 11 of the movable pieces 4, 4 face the long holes 18, 18 and are linked to each other. And the engaging member 17
is constantly biased downward by a spring 19 wound around the plunger 16 of the solenoid 15, so that the movable pieces 4, 4 are stopped in the first upright state as shown by solid lines in FIG. Further, in this state, the distances between the respective movable pieces 4, 4 and the ball receiving shelf 6 are selected such that the distance 20, 20 allows the ball to pass through.

Next, the operation of this embodiment will be explained. As shown by the solid line in Figure 2, the solenoid 15 is demagnetized and the movable piece 4,
When the ball that flows between the movable pieces 4 and 4 falls into the center of the ball receiving shelf 6 when the ball is in the first state where the ball is stopped upright, the ball is guided to the center prize opening 2. You will be blessed with many opportunities to win prizes. Further, balls that cannot fall onto the ball receiving shelf 6 or that fall onto the end of the ball receiving shelf 6 are only guided downward through either of the gaps 20, 20.

On the other hand, when the solenoid 15 is energized, the plunger 16 is attracted upward as shown by the chain line in FIG. 4, and the engaging member 17 is also pulled upward accordingly.
For this reason, the engagement pin 1 at the shaft end of the support shafts 11, 11
3 and 13 are rotated outward, and the movable pieces 4 and 4 are tilted in an inverted eight-shape as shown by the chain line in FIG. 2, thereby converting to the second state. In this way, the movable pieces 4, 4
When the state is changed from the first state to the second state, the lower end of each movable piece 4, 4 and the ball receiving shelf 6 are in communication, closing the gap 20, 20, so that the impact received by the movable pieces 4, 4 is reduced. All the balls are guided through the upper surface to either the center winning hole 2 or the left and right winning holes 3, 3, and become winning balls.

[Effect of the invention] As explained above, in the ball winning device according to the present invention, the movable pieces 4, 4 are held upright by the ball receiving shelf 6 provided on the lower front surface of the periphery of the central winning hole 2. Even when the ball is in the stopped first state, an opportunity is created to receive the hit ball on the ball receiving shelf 6 and win a prize in the central winning hole 2, making it easy for the hit ball to win and improving the service to the players.

In addition, depending on the position of the hit ball, it is possible to add chance to the winning mode, such as guiding it to the central winning hole or passing it directly downward, which gives thrill and interest to the players, and greatly increases the chance of winning. You can increase your interest in playing games. And central prize opening 2
The value given to balls won in the center winning hole and the balls won in the left and right winning holes 3, 3 are set to be different. For example, when a hit ball wins in the center winning hole 2, the movable pieces 4, 4 move for a certain period of time. If the second state where it is easy for the ball to enter is maintained, or if the opening and closing operations are repeated a certain number of times, the player's interest can be further increased.
