Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to a winning device that accepts pachinko balls falling on a game board surface and makes them into winning balls.

[Prior art] A ball entrance large enough to allow a plurality of pachinko balls to pass through at the same time is formed on a mounting plate, a door plate that can be freely opened and closed is provided at the ball entrance, and pachinko balls are opened by opening the door plate. A large winning opening that facilitates winning, a starting winning opening that is large enough to accept one pachinko ball and is provided with a switch that detects a winning pachinko ball, and a starting winning opening that is provided separately from both winning openings. It consists of a combination with a specific winning device that generates the right to open the door plate of the big winning opening a predetermined number of times when specific conditions are met, and the right to open the door plate a predetermined number of times is granted to the winning opening of the starting winning opening. A winning device for a pachinko machine is known from JP-A-59-115070, which is implemented as a condition for the detection of pachinko balls, and this right is extinguished by accepting a specified number of pachinko balls into the starting winning slot. .

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] The above-described winning device is capable of simply winning a pachinko ball that enters the starting winning hole when the winning opening is open, without involving the pachinko ball in the opening operation of the winning opening. On the other hand, since the balls that have entered the starting prize slot are subtracted from the specified number, the door plate may open less than the specified number, putting the player at a disadvantage and reducing the enjoyment of the game. This was a significant hindrance.

[Means for Solving the Problems] Therefore, the present invention is such that the starting prize opening is equipped with a valve member that opens and closes the winning opening, and this valve member is operated to close in conjunction with the opening operation of the door plate. The opening operation is performed in conjunction with the closing operation of the plate.

[Function] When the door plate is open, the starting prize opening closes to prevent winning, so the right to open the big winning opening generated by the specific winning device a predetermined number of times is effectively returned to the player.

[Example] Fig. 1 is a front view of a pachinko machine A equipped with a winning device of the present invention. In the same figure, B is the game board C
D is a special winning device installed approximately in the center of the game board C.

FIG. 2 to FIG. 6 show an example of the winning ball receiver B used in the present invention. In the figure, 1 is a mounting plate that is attached to the game board C. Mounting plate 1
A ball entrance 2 with a width that allows multiple pachinko balls to pass through at the same time is provided in the center of the door plate 3.
It is blocked by. The door plate 3 is equipped with shaft rods 4, 4 protruding from both sides of its lower end, which are inserted into the lower side of the ball entrance 2 so that it can be opened and closed freely, and an arm rod 5, which is protruded from the side edge of the back side of the door plate 3, is connected to a solenoid. 6 is engaged with the tip of the plunger 7, and under normal conditions, the resilient force of the spring 8 of the solenoid 6 causes the door plate 3 to stand up as shown by the solid line in FIG.

Ball inlets 10, 10 through which one pachinko ball can pass are provided on the mounting plate 1 on both sides of the ball inlet 2, and a box-shaped player 11 is fixed to cover the front surface of the ball inlet 10, and the game is started. A guide box 13 that forms a prize opening 12 and surrounds a ball entrance 2 and both ball entrances 10, 10 is integrally fixed to the back surface of the mounting plate 1. The guide box 13 corresponding to the ball entrance 10 guides the pachinko balls that enter the ball entrance 10 to the back surface of the game board C on its upper surface, and also controls the switch 14 (in this embodiment, the proximity switch) installed inside the guide box 13. ) to detect winnings, and
The bottom wall 13a of the guide box 13 corresponding to the ball entrance 2 is formed in the shape of a gutter, and guides the pachinko balls won at the ball entrance 2 to the ball exit 15.

A valve member 16 having a chevron-shaped upper end is mounted inside the chucker 11 so as to be slidable up and down, and the valve member 16 is always directed downward by a spring 17 whose one end is fixed to the inner wall of the chucker 11. is energized. Then, insert the approximately 〓 shaped bent part into the guide box 1
The horizontal arm 19a of the pusher rod 19, which is pivoted to the valve member 18, faces the lower surface of the valve member 16. A long hole 20 is bored in the vertical arm 19b of the push-up rod 19, and the engagement pin 22 of the engagement arm 21 fixed to the tip of the shaft rod 4 of the door plate 3 is inserted into the long hole 20 of the push-up rod 19. It is inserted.

Note that the shape of the upper end of the valve member 16 is not limited to a symmetrical chevron shape, and may be, for example, a slope that slopes only in one direction, the outside or the inside.

The specific winning device D is exemplified as a simple winning checker equipped with a ball detection switch 23, but it is of course possible to use a device based on the establishment of a combination of specific character strings. The ball detection switch 23 of the specific winning device D, the solenoid 6 of the big winning hole 9, and the switch 14 of the starting winning hole 12 are connected to the control device E, respectively.

Next, its effect will be explained.

In a normal state, the door plate 3 of the grand prize opening 9 is erected by the elastic force of the spring 8 of the solenoid 6 to prevent pachinko balls from winning. At this time, the starting prize opening 12 is in a position where the valve member 16 is lowered by the elastic force of the spring 17, and when the pachinko ball rides on the valve member 16 by the ticker 11, it is guided to the ball entrance 10 and becomes a winning ball.

Now, when a pachinko ball enters the specific winning device D, the ball detection switch 23 detects this, and this signal is transmitted to the control device E so that a specific condition is established.
This gives rise to the right to open the big prize opening 9, for example, 10 times. However, in this state, the door plate 3 still cannot be opened and this right is reserved. When a pachinko ball enters the starting prize opening 12, it is detected by the switch 14 and transmitted to the control device E.
As a result, the solenoid 6 is energized and the door plate 3 is opened once. As the door plate 3 opens, the engaging arm 21 integrated with the shaft rod 4 rotates counterclockwise as shown by the chain line in FIG.
9 rotates and the horizontal arm 19a pushes up the valve member 16. The valve member 16 raised by this closes the ball entrance 10 and prevents pachinko balls from winning, and also distributes the pachinko balls to the left and right by the chevron shape at the upper end. The opening operation of the door plate 3 is performed after a predetermined period of time has elapsed.
Or it will be closed by winning a predetermined number of balls. When the door plate 3 is closed, the push-up rod 1 is moved through the engaging arm 20.
9 moves back to the solid line position in FIG.
7 to move downward and open the ball inlet 10.

The above operations are repeated until a predetermined number of pachinko balls are won in the starting winning hole 12, and when the specified number is reached, the rights granted by the specific winning device D are extinguished.

[Effects of the Invention] As described above, according to the present invention, pachinko balls do not enter the starting winning slot when the door plate of the big winning opening is open, so that the right given by the specific winning device cannot be used by the player. It has the effect of effectively and reliably reducing the
