Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Industrial application] The present invention relates to a ball-removing device for a ball game machine, and more specifically, a ball-removing machine for extracting a game ball in a ball-ball game machine such as a pachinko machine. It relates to the device.

[Prior Art] Conventionally, a large number of so-called ball game machines using game balls such as pachinko machines have been used.

In such a ball game tool, a pachinko machine will be described as an example. Normally, the borrowed game ball is positioned in the 100-hull dish, and the game ball in the 100-hull dish is passed through the ball passage to the launch device. A game was carried out by sending a ball out of the launching device and hitting the ball into the board.

In such a ball game machine, for example, there is a case where the player wants to end the game or wants to move to another game machine in the middle of the game and continue the game.

In such a case, in a conventional pachinko gaming machine, etc., the ball in the 100-plate is returned to the ball plate by using the operation lever that is usually attached to the front of the 100-plate. Was intended to be recovered.

Further, there is known a ball removing mechanism of a pachinko machine using a rotary type or a slide type operating member (Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 61-279).
No. 270).

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] However, in such a conventional pachinko machine or the like, when it is desired to end the game or to move to another machine and continue the game, operation of the operation lever is performed. Although it was possible to pull out the balls accumulated in the 100-hull dish, it was not possible to pull out the ball in the ball path from the 100-hull dish to the launcher.

Therefore, normally, it was also intentionally hit lightly to return the ball to the ball dish, but there is no ball to return depending on the condition of the spring etc. Therefore, the ball in the ball passage is a dead ball. It was

On the other hand, in the conventional ball-removing mechanism that uses a rotary type or slide-type actuating member, depending on the number of balls in the ball supply passage 30,
There is a problem that the operating force of the player is likely to change.

Therefore, the present invention, when collecting the balls in the 100 round dish,
By providing a ball-removing device that can simultaneously return not only the balls in the hundred-bowl, but also the balls in the ball passage to the ball-bowl by operating the operation lever provided on the hundred-bowl. The purpose is to eliminate the large sphere.

In addition to this, in the present invention, the structure of the ball removing device is simple and the operating force can be maintained substantially constant.

[Means for Solving Problems] The present invention is for achieving the above-mentioned object,
The contents will be described below with reference to the embodiments shown in the drawings.

The present invention has an upper surface which is located between the standby portion (21) and the ball passage (71) and constitutes the bottom surface of the standby portion (21), and is rotatably supported by the ball removal shaft (81). The ball removing body (80) and the ball removing passage (7
Ball-removing body (80) so as to incline downward toward 1)
And a ball removing weight (82) for rotating the ball removing weight (82) against the weight of the ball removing weight (82) so that the upper surface of the ball removing body (80) inclines downward toward the ball feeding body (50). While supporting the ball removing body (80) from below, the operation lever (1
The slide operation of 1) includes a ball removing slider (90) that slides in a direction away from the ball removing body (80), and the ball removing slider (90) faces the ball removing body (80). A slider body (8) is formed on the ball-removing body (80) that is slidably in contact with the sloped surface (92) of the ball-removing slider (90) while forming an inclined surface (92) that is inclined downward.
3) is formed.

[Operation] Therefore, according to the present invention, when the operation lever (11) is slid, the ball-slipping slider (90) slides integrally with the operation lever (11).

When the ball removing slider (90) slides, the ball removing body (80) slidingly contacting the inclined surface (92) via the slider body (83) moves the ball removing shaft (81) due to the weight of the ball removing weight (82). ) Rotate around.

As a result, the ball-removed body (8
The upper surface of (0) inclines downward toward the ball removal passageway (71).

Therefore, the balls in the hundred-bowl dish (10) and the balls in the ball passage (20) are withdrawn from the standby portion (21) to the ball dish (72) through the ball removal passage (71).

[Embodiment] An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the case where the ball counting and feeding device 30 is additionally provided.

FIG. 1 is a schematic view of the whole, and FIG. 2 is a front view of the hundred-plate dish 10.

In this figure, the 100-bowl 10 has an operating lever 11 attached to the front side, which is usually the front side of the player, and the ball accumulated in the 100-bowl 10 by the operation of the operating lever 11 is conventionally known. It can be returned to the ball dish 72 by the means.

The balls located in the 100-hull dish 10 stand by until they are sent from the 100-hull dish 10 through the ball passage 20 to the launching device 60 by the waiting section 21.

Then, the balls located in the waiting portion 21 are sequentially sent out to the back side of the board surface where the launching device 60 is provided by the ball counting and feeding device 30, and are hit on the board surface while counting one by one.

Further, the standby portion 21 is provided with a ball removing body 80 in the lower portion thereof, and in the lower portion of the ball removing body 80, a ball in which the standby portion 21 below the ball passage 20 and the ball dish 72 are communicated with each other. An extraction passage 71 is provided to form a ball removing device 70.

Next, the details of the ball counting and feeding device 30 will be described first.

The ball counting and feeding device 30 is for sorting the balls in the standby portion 21 at the lowermost end of the ball passage 20 one by one and sending them to the launching device 60, and the operation of the interlocking crank 61 that operates in conjunction with the launching device 60. The ball is sent out by.

More specifically, the sphere counting and feeding device 30 includes a counter 40
And the ball feed body 50 and the sensor 45.

The counting body 40 is axially supported by a counting shaft 41, and is formed so that a detecting unit 43, which is usually provided on the counting weight 42 side, is positioned at a sensor 45 portion by the counting and 42. Furthermore, this counting axis 41
The side opposite to the detection portion 43 is formed as a contact portion 44, and when the sphere is fed into the sphere feed body 50, it is formed so as to come into contact with this contact portion 44. The detection unit 43 protruding from the counting body 40 crosses the sensor 45 due to the oscillation about the counting shaft 41.

The ball feeding body 50 has one end pivotally supported by a ball feeding shaft 51 and the other side provided with a ball feeding weight 52. And the standby unit
Launching devices from 21 balls sequentially by operating the interlocking crank 61
It operates so as to send it out in 60 directions.

When the counter 40 and the ball feeder 50 send the ball in the standby portion 21 as shown in FIG. 1, first, the ball feeder 50 causes the ball feeder 50 to move the ball feeder shaft 51 by the interlocking crank 61. It will oscillate slightly clockwise as the center.

Then, with this shaking, the ball at the lowermost end of the standby unit 21 enters the ball feeding body 50. The ball at the lowermost end of the standby portion 21 comes into contact with the contact portion 44 of the counting body 40 when entering the ball feeding body 50, and slightly rotates the counting body 40 in the counterclockwise direction.
The ball is sent to the launching device 60 side by being shaken in a timewise manner by the ball feeding body 50 positioned in the center 50 by the rotation of the interlocking crank 61 thereafter. Further, even if the ball feeding body 50 sways due to the swing of the interlocking crank 61, the ball feed member 50 is in contact with the pressure contact portion 53 so as not to exceed the degree of the swing.

That is, in this counting ball feeding device, the launching device 60
As long as the interlocking crank 61 is performing a crank motion, the ball feeding body 50 always repeats the oscillating motion about the ball feeding shaft 51. However, the oscillating motion of the ball feeding body 50 at this time is
This is a movement that has nothing to do with, and the counting body 40 swings only when the ball enters the ball feeding body 50.

Therefore, there is a ball in the standby unit 21, and the ball is launched by the launch device.
When the spheres are continuously ejected while being sent out in the 60 direction, each sphere entering the sphere feeding body 50 causes the counting body 40 to shake slightly, and the shaking of the counting body 40 causes the counting body 40 to swing. Since the detection unit 43 of (1) crosses the sensor 45, the spheres sent by the sensor 45 can be counted.

Also, if there are no balls in the standby part 21, as long as the launching device 60 is operating,
61 always shakes, and ball feeder 50 shakes, but counter
Since there are no 40 oscillations, spheres will not be counted.

Therefore, when the ball counting and feeding device 30 is used, even if the interlocking crank 61 moves with the operation of the launching device 60, the number of times the ball feeding body 50 vibrates with the interlocking crank 61 motion. Is not detected as the number of sphere feeds, and only the number of movements of the counting body 40 moved by the spheres is detected as the number of sphere feeds.

Therefore, it is possible to accurately count the balls actually sent to the launching device 60 and to sequentially send the balls one by one, regardless of whether or not the launching device 60 is operated.

Next, the ball removing device 70 will be described.

This ball removing device 70 is not limited to a ball located in the standby portion 21, but a ball 100 located in the ball passage 20.
This is a device for returning to the ball dish 72 by operating an operation lever 11 provided therein.

More specifically, the ball punching device 70 includes a ball punching body 80 axially supported by a ball punching shaft 81 in the lower portion of the standby portion 21, and a ball punching slider 90 for shaking the ball punching body 80. A ball removing passage 71 for guiding the ball in the ball passage 20 to the ball tray 72 along with the swing of the ball removing slider 90, and a ball removing body usually.
Some 80 are formed with a spring 91 for preventing the ball from being pulled out to the side of the ball passage 71.

The ball-removing body 80 is pivotally supported on the lower portion of the standby portion 21,
A ball removing weight 82 is provided on the side of the standby portion 21 opposite to the ball feeding body 50, and a slider body 83 is provided further in front of the ball removing weight 82.

The ball removing slider 90 is provided with an inclined surface 92 on the ball removing body 80 side, and a ball removing lever 93 on the side opposite to the ball removing body 80 side.
The ball pulling lever 93 is formed so as to move the entire ball pulling slider 90 in accordance with the operation of the operating lever 11. The ball-slipping slider 90 is normally located on the ball-sending body 50 side due to the elastic force of the spring 91.

In this way, when the ball-slipping member 90 is located on the ball-sending body 50 side, the slider member 83
Is located above the inclined surface 92 of the ball removing slider 90. At this time, the upper surface of the ball removing body 80 is the ball feeding body.
It is designed to be slightly inclined toward the 50 side.

At this time, by operating the operating lever 11, the ball removing lever 93
When is moved to the left in the drawing, the ball-slipping slider 90 is also moved to the left along with the movement. Then, along with the movement of the ball-slipping slider 90, the ball-slanting body 80 is moved so that the slider body 83 moves downwards along the inclined surface 92 of the ball-sliding slider 90 due to the weight of the ball-slanting weight 82. The swing shaft 81 is oscillated around the center.

When the ball-slipping slider 90 moves to the left and the ball-squeezing body 80 sways to the lower left around the ball-sucking shaft 81 in this way, the ball located in the ball passage 20 becomes Since the upper surface of the ball is inclined to the left, it will be guided to the ball removing passage 71 side, and all the balls remaining in the ball passage 20 pass through the ball removing passage 71 via the upper surface of the ball removing body 80. By doing so, it will be returned to the ball dish 72.

Therefore, when the ball removing device 70 is used, the balls in the 100-hull 10 can return to the ball plate 72 through the same passage as in the conventional case by operating the operation lever 11 as in the conventional case, and the balls in the ball passage 20 also With the shaking of the ball punching body 80, it is taken out to the ball punching passage 71 and returned to the ball dish 72 as it is.

Therefore, when the player wants to stop the game midway or to continue the game with a different game machine, the operation lever 11 can be operated not only to eliminate the balls in the hundred-bowl 10 but also the ball passage 20 Since all the balls located inside can be eliminated, there is no useless ball.

In the above description, the ball punching body 80 is described as being shaken around the ball punching shaft 81 by being moved to the ball punching slider 90, but it is moved by moving the ball punching slider 90, and as a result of the movement, the ball is moved. Ball in passage 20
It is also possible to form it so that it falls to 71.

[Effects of the Invention] As described above, according to the present invention, when the balls in the hundred-bowl are collected, it is possible to operate not only the balls in the hundred-bowl by operating the operation lever provided on the hundred-bowl. By providing a ball removing device capable of returning balls in the ball passage to the ball plate at the same time, wasteful balls are eliminated and the game is smoothed.

In addition to this, not only the structure of the ball removing device is simple, but the operating force of the operating lever can be maintained almost constant,
It has excellent operability.
