When the ball conveying member 11 reaches the position of the ball dropping means 13, the bucket 12 rolls over and the pachinko balls fall. This pachinko ball is guided to the special prize winning opening 14, and a special prize game state is started.

On the other hand, the pachinko balls that are not received by the ball conveyance member 11 enter the ball discharge port 15 and are processed as normal winning balls.

[Example] An example of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

The mounting plate 2 that abuts and fixes to the game board 1 is a flat plate made of synthetic resin, and is formed into an appropriately decorative shape. A box frame 4 having an opening 3 at the front is integrally formed on this mounting plate 2, and a wide space is formed inside the box frame 4. A circular recess 4 is formed on the bottom wall 4a of the box frame 4.
The drive shaft 5a of the motor 5 protrudes from the center of the bottom wall 4c of the recess 4b.

Further, ball inlets 6, 6 are provided on both sides of the outer periphery of the opening 3 of the mounting plate 2, and opening/closing plates 7, 7 are pivoted to cover the ball inlets 6, 6. This opening/closing plate 7 is a rectangular plate with the lower part thereof pivoted, and its upper end tilts toward the front of the mounting plate 2. The opening/closing plate 7 receives pachinko balls on its upper surface and allows them to flow into the ball inlet 6. In the upright state, it functions to block the ball inlet 6 and prevent the inflow of pachinko balls. The opening/closing plate 7
is opened and closed by a small motor 8 fixed to the back of the mounting plate 2.
A pinion gear 8a of a small motor 8 is meshed with a fan-shaped gear 7a protruding from the lower end of one side of the opening/closing plate 7, and control is performed by rotating the small motor 8 in forward and reverse directions.

A communication gutter 9 is connected to the ball inlet 6 from the back side of the mounting plate 2, and a terminal opening 9a of the communication gutter 9 faces the peripheral wall of the box frame 4.

On the other hand, a ball conveying member 11 is fixed to the drive shaft 5a protruding into the recess 4b of the box frame 4 via a crank-shaped spring arm 10. The ball conveying member 11
The entire vehicle resembles a truck, and the part corresponding to the loading platform is a bucket truck 12, which is pivotally supported on one side of the vehicle body so that it can roll over. The ball conveying member 11 rotates while bringing the tires 11a, 11a, . . . into contact with the bottom wall 4a as the drive shaft 5a rotates. The height of the bucket 12 is such that it passes through a position slightly lower than the terminal opening 9a of the connecting gutter 9, and the bucket 12 can catch pachinko balls falling from the terminal opening 9a depending on the timing. Note that the ball conveying member 11 is
Two can be installed 180 degrees apart.

A ball dropping means 13 consisting of a chevron-shaped cam is formed on the inner circumferential wall of the box frame 4. A cam of this ball dropping means 13 is installed upright at the innermost part of the box frame 4, and when the ball conveying member 11 moves along the cam, a pin 12a protrudes from the side surface of the bucket 12.
engages with this cam and gradually tilts, and when the top of the cam is reached, the bucket 12 falls sideways and the pachinko balls on the bucket 12 fall.
Then, as the inclination of the cam becomes lower, the bucket 12 gradually returns to its original state due to its own weight, and completely returns to its original position by coming off the cam.
Note that this ball dropping means 13 is not only configured to overturn the bucket 12 using a cam, but also has, for example, a pin or the like protruding inside the box frame 4, and the pachinko balls on the bucket 12 collide with the pin and are pushed out. There are various ways to do this.

A special prize winning opening 14 for receiving pachinko balls dropped from the bucket 12 of the ball transporting member 11 and a ball discharge opening 15 for discharging other pachinko balls are provided in the bottom wall 4c of the recess 4b of the box frame 4. . The special prize winning opening 14 is further divided into three parts: a winning opening 14R corresponding to the opening/closing plate 7 on the right side, a winning opening 14L corresponding to the opening/closing plate 7 on the left side, and an opening/closing plate 7, 7 on both sides.
The central prize opening corresponds to 14V. In addition, on the top surface of this special prize winning hole 14, there is a ball conveying member 1.
In order to ensure that pachinko balls falling from the box frame 4 win, a transparent guide cover 16 is hung from the box frame 4, and a low protruding wall 4d is formed at the upper end of the recess 4b facing the guide cover 16. Even if a pachinko ball that cannot be received by the bucket 12 accidentally falls into the area surrounded by the guide cover 16, it is prevented from entering the special prize winning hole 14. In this case, the pachinko balls are pushed out by the front surface of the ball conveying member 11 and fall into the normal ball discharge port 15.

In addition, the pockets 17, 17 on both sides of the lower part of the opening 3 of the mounting plate 2 in the figure are normal winning ball receivers.

Next, the operation of the present invention will be explained.

The winning device A of the present invention is installed at the center of the gaming section 19 of the well-known pachinko machine 18 shown in FIG. This gaming section 19 has a normal winning ball receiver 20, 20.
...and windmills etc.

Therefore, the winning ball receivers 21L, 21R, and 21V, which are arranged horizontally in three pieces in the lower part of the gaming section 19, are connected to the left and right opening/closing plates 7, 7 of the winning device A of the present invention, and By winning a prize in the winning ball receiver 21R, the opening/closing plate 7 on the right side changes to the winning ball receiver 2 on the left.
By winning 1L, the opening/closing plate 7 on the left side will become
Further, when a ball is won in the center winning ball socket 21V, both opening/closing plates 7, 7 open simultaneously and are set to close in about 1 second. This time is arbitrary.

When a pachinko ball is placed on this opened opening/closing plate 7, it is guided into the box frame 4 through the ball entrance 6.

When the pachinko balls are discharged from the connecting gutter 9, when the bucket 12 of the ball conveying member 11 rotating in the box frame 4 passes below the terminal opening 9a of the connecting gutter 9, the pachinko balls are received by the bucket 12. , and transported as is. When this ball conveying member 11 reaches the position of the cam of the ball dropping means 13, the pin 12a of the bucket 12 engages with the cam,
When it reaches the top, the bucket 12 rolls over as shown by the chain line in Figure 4, and the pachinko balls fall. This pachinko ball is guided to the special prize winning hole 14, and each winning hole 14L,
14R or 14V is entered, and the special prize game state is started.

This special prize game state means that the opening and closing plates 7, 7 are opened continuously for a certain period of time, or the opening and closing plates 7 are opened and closed intermittently to dramatically increase the chance of winning a prize. In this case, open the left opening/closing plate 7 corresponding to the winning opening 14L, the right opening/closing plate 7 corresponding to the winning opening 14R, and both opening/closing plates 7, 7 corresponding to the winning opening 14V at the same time. This is a special prize game state.

On the other hand, the pachinko balls that are not received by the ball conveyance member 11 are guided to the ball discharge port 15 and are processed as normal winning balls.

In addition, the winning device A of the present invention includes the ball conveying member 11
Although the case where the is rotated in one direction is shown, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, after rotating this for a certain period of time, it is temporarily stopped under the terminal opening 9a of the connecting gutter 9, and then it is rotated in the opposite direction. Variations are possible.

Furthermore, if you want to add more decoration, the recess 4
A lamp is provided in b, an optical fiber is attached along the spring arm 10, one end of the optical fiber is opposed to the lamp in the recess 4b, and the other end is placed in a part imitating the headlight of the track of the ball conveying member 11. If they face each other, the turning truck will look as if it is running with its headlights on, making it an excellent decoration.

[Effects of the Invention] As described above, according to the present invention, the ball conveying member 11
When the conditions of the rotation of the opening/closing board 7, the timing of opening/closing the opening/closing board 7, and the winning of the pachinko ball coincide, a special prize game state occurs, which eliminates the monotony of the pachinko game.
By changing the rotation mode of the ball conveying member 11, various variations can be made, and the interest in the pachinko game can be further increased.
