[Prior Art] Conventionally, for example, a first state in which it is difficult for pachinko balls to enter the front left and right sides of a mounting plate, and a second state in which pachinko balls easily enter
A movable piece that can be changed into a state is provided oppositely, and a general winning hole and a special prize winning hole are provided below the movable piece to win a pachinko ball received in the second state, and a game ball is placed in the special prize winning hole. There is a known prize-winning device in which the movable piece is brought into the second state repeatedly for a predetermined period of time or a predetermined number of times in a specific game state in which a profit is given to the player.

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] However, this type of conventional winning device has a monotonous operation and is therefore insufficient to increase the interest of pachinko games.

[Means for Solving the Problems] Therefore, the present invention aims to solve the problems by providing a winning device A for a pachinko game machine having the following configurations (a) to (g). It is.

(a) A box frame 4 having an opening 3 on the front side is formed on a mounting plate 2 which abuts and is fixed to the game board 1.

(b) Also, on the front surface of the mounting plate 2, the opening 3
An opening/closing plate 7 is provided around the outer periphery of the ball opening/closing plate 7, and the opening/closing plate 7 closes a ball entrance 6 opened in the mounting plate 2 to prevent pachinko balls from winning, and opens the opening/closing plate 7 to receive the pachinko balls into the ball entrance 6.

(c) A connecting gutter 9 is connected to this ball inlet 6 from the back side of the mounting plate 2.
A terminal opening 9a of the connecting gutter 9 is formed in the peripheral wall of the box frame 4.

(d) On the other hand, inside the box frame 4, there are provided a bucket body 11a on which pachinko balls can be placed, an obstacle 11b for retaining the pachinko balls in the connecting gutter 9, and a space 11c for allowing the pachinko balls to fall as they are. The rotating member 11 is horizontally rotated.

(e) The bucket body 11a of the rotating member 11 passes below the terminal opening 9a of the connecting gutter 9 and rotates at a height position where it can receive pachinko balls falling from there, and the obstacle body 11b also passes under the terminal opening 9a of the connecting gutter 9. It turns at a height position that closes and traverses the terminal opening 9a.

(f) In addition, a ball drop drop 13 is formed in the box frame 4, which is made of a cam or the like that rolls over the bucket body 11a of the rotating member 11.

(g) Furthermore, inside the box frame 4, there is a special prize winning opening 14 for receiving pachinko balls dropped from the bucket body 11a of the rotating member 11, and a ball discharge opening 15 for disposing of other pachinko balls as normal game balls.

When the bucket body 11a reaches the position of the ball dropping means 13, it 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, when the pachinko balls are discharged from the connecting gutter 9, if the space 11c of the rotating member 11 passes in front of the terminal opening 9a of the connecting gutter 9, the pachinko balls will fall directly into the box frame 4 and pass through the ball ejecting port 15. The ball enters the ball and is treated as a normal winning ball.

Furthermore, when the pachinko balls are discharged from the connecting gutter 9, if the obstacle 11c of the rotating member 11 crosses in front of the terminal opening 9a of the connecting gutter 9, the fall of the pachinko balls is suspended, and in some cases, a plurality of pachinko balls are The balls accumulate in the connecting gutter 9 and are released into the box frame 4 at the same time as they pass the obstacle 11c. Therefore, if the bucket body 11a passes below the terminal opening 9a after the obstacle 11c, the pachinko ball will move to the bucket body 11a.
The chances of receiving a prize in the special prize winning slot 14 increase.

[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 rotating member 11 is fixed to the drive shaft 5a protruding into the recess 4b of the box frame 4 via crank-shaped spring arms 10, 10. The rotating member 1
1 resembles a train as a whole, and rotates with wheels 12, 12, . . . in contact with a bottom wall 4a as a drive shaft 5a rotates. The rotary member 11 has a box frame-like portion corresponding to a loading platform as a bucket body 11a, and this bucket body 11a is pivotally supported on one side of the vehicle body so as to be able to roll over. The height of the bucket body 11a is such that it passes through a position slightly lower than the terminal opening 9a of the connecting gutter 9, and depending on the timing, the pachinko balls falling from the terminal opening 9a are passed through the bucket body 11.
This can be accepted under a.

Further, the height of the portion corresponding to the locomotive of the train is set to approximately half of the terminal opening 9a of the connecting gutter 9, and serves as an obstacle 11b. The obstacle 11b is
When passing in front of the end opening 9a of the connecting gutter 9, it temporarily blocks the end opening 9a and serves to prevent the pachinko ball from falling.

Furthermore, a box frame 4 is provided on the rotating member 11 at an arbitrary position between the bucket body 11a and the obstacle body 11b.
A space 11c is formed consisting only of a flat plate 11d that is inclined downward toward the recess 4b. This space 11
The pachinko balls ejected from the terminal opening 9a of the connecting gutter 9 are allowed to pass through without any change and enter the normal ball ejection port 15 of the box frame 4 to win a prize.

A ball dropping means 13 consisting of a chevron-shaped cam is formed on the inner circumferential wall of the box frame 4. The cam of this ball dropping means 13 is installed upright at the innermost part of the box frame 4, and when the bucket body 11a of the rotating member 11 moves along the cam, a pin 11e protruding from the side surface of the bucket body 11a moves. It engages with this cam and gradually tilts, and when it reaches the top of the cam, the bucket body 11a falls sideways and the pachinko balls on the bucket body 11a fall. As the inclination of the cam becomes lower, the bucket body 11a gradually returns to its original state due to its own weight, and completely returns to its original position by being removed from the cam. Note that this ball dropping means 13 is not only configured to overturn the bucket body 11a using a cam, but also has, for example, a pin or the like protruding inside the box frame 4, so that the pachinko ball on the bucket body 11a collides with the pin. Various methods can be considered, such as making it extrude.

The rotating member 11 in this embodiment is an obstacle 11
b, large bucket body 11a-1, space 11c, large bucket body 11a-2, middle bucket body 11a-
3, variable table part 11f, small bucket body 11a-4,
Large bucket body 11a-5, small bucket body 11a-
6, and this small bucket body 11a-6 and obstacle body 1
Cutout portions 11g having the same function as the space portion 11c are sequentially formed between the space portions 1b. The large bucket bodies 11a-1, 11a-2, and 11a-5 have a size that can hold about 2 pachinko balls, and the medium bucket body 11a-3 has a size that can hold about 1.5 pachinko balls.
Small bucket body 11a-4,1
1a-6 is large enough to accommodate about one pachinko ball. Further, the height of the variable platform portion 11f is the same as that of the space portion 11f.
c, so that a ball falling from the end opening 9a into the variable platform portion 11f collides with the lower end of a guide cover 17, which will be described later, and cannot immediately fall into the recess 4b. Therefore, the pachinko ball is released when the rotating member 11 rotates and the variable table part 11f comes off from the guide cover 17. At this time, if the rotating member 11 is rotating clockwise in FIG. The pachinko ball falling from the left end opening 9a enters the area surrounded by the guide cover 16 and enters the left special prize winning opening 14L. On the other hand, the end opening 9 on the stone side
Pachinko balls that have fallen from a are ejected in the opposite direction to the guide cover 16, fall into the recess 4b, pass through the ball discharge port 15, and are disposed of as normal winning balls.
When rotating counterclockwise in FIG. 6, this is reversed. In this way, the variable table section 11f is connected to the rotating member 11.
Depending on the rotation direction of the pachinko ball, the special prize winning hole 14
The ball changes as if the ball is placed in a prize or the ball is dropped into the normal ball outlet 15.

The bottom wall 4c of the recess 4b of the box frame 4 is provided with a special prize winning opening 14 for receiving pachinko balls dropped from the bucket body 11a of the rotating member 11, and a ball discharge opening 15 for discharging other pachinko balls. .
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, an opening/closing plate 7 on both sides,
The center winning hole 14V corresponds to 7.
In addition, on the top surface of this special prize winning hole 14, there is a rotating member 1.
A transparent guide cover 16 is hung from the box frame 4 in order to ensure that the pachinko balls falling from the box frame 4 win.

Further, a guide cover 17 is attached to the terminal opening 9a of the connecting gutter 9 to ensure that the pachinko balls flowing out from there enter the bucket body 11a. Of course, the guide cover 17 needs to have a size that does not prevent the pachinko balls from passing through the space 11c and flowing down into the recess 4b.

In addition, the pockets 18, 18 on both sides of the lower part of the opening 3 of the mounting plate 2 in the figure are ordinary 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 20 of the well-known pachinko machine 19 shown in FIG. This gaming section 20 includes normal winning ball receivers 21, 21.
...and windmills etc.

Therefore, the winning ball receivers 22L, 22R, and 22V, which are arranged horizontally in three pieces in the lower part of the gaming section 20, are connected to the left and right opening/closing plates 7, 7 of the winning device A of the present invention, and are connected to the right and left opening and closing plates 7, 7 of the winning device A of the present invention. By winning a prize in the winning ball receiver 22R, the opening/closing plate 7 on the stone side will open the winning ball receiver 2 on the left.
By winning 2L, the left opening/closing plate 7 will be
Further, when a ball is won in the center winning ball socket 22V, 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 ball is discharged from the connecting gutter 9, when the bucket body 11a of the rotating member 11 rotating clockwise in the box frame 4 in FIG. Pachinko balls are received by 11a and conveyed as they are. When the bucket body 11a reaches the position of the cam of the ball dropping means 13, the pin 11e of the bucket body 11a engages with the cam, and when it reaches the top, the bucket body 11a rolls over as shown by the chain line in FIG. A pachinko ball falls. This pachinko ball is guided to the special prize winning hole 14 and each winning hole 14L, 14R, 14
When the game enters either V, 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.

In addition, the obstacle 1 is placed in front of the terminal opening 9a of the connecting gutter 9.
When the pachinko ball reaches the terminal opening 9a while the pachinko ball 1b is passing through, the pachinko ball is held by the obstacle 11b, and two or more pachinko balls can accumulate. Then, when the obstacle 11b passes, the large bucket object 11a-1 passes under the terminal opening 9a, so the pachinko balls that have been held are transferred to the large bucket object 11a.
-1 and enters one of the special prize winning slots 14. However, when the rotating member 11 turns in the counterclockwise direction in FIG. The ball passes through the ball, falls into the recess 4b, and is processed at the ball discharge port 15.

[Effects of the Invention] As described above, according to the present invention, when the conditions of the rotation of the rotating member 11, the opening/closing timing of the opening/closing plate 7, and the winning of a pachinko ball are combined, a special prize game state occurs, which reduces the monotony of pachinko games. By solving this problem and changing the rotation mode of the rotating member 11, various variations can be considered, and the interest in the pachinko game can be further increased.
