Abstract

PURPOSE:To exclude gain difference between a trained player and an inexperienced player by canceling the operating condition of an operating member based on the achievement of one condition of either the winning of the plural numbers of balls or the winning of a ball to a specified ball winding port. CONSTITUTION:Based on the winning of the ball to the specified ball winning port which is arranged in the playing part of a playing board, the both movable members (for example, pedal pieces 3) of a fluctuation winning device are forcibly converted from a closing condition to an opening condition. Based on the achievement of any one condition of either the winning of the prescribed number of the balls or the winning of the ball to the specified ball winning port (not to be shown in a figure), the operating condition of the operating member is canceled. Accordingly, when the operating condition of the operating member is canceled with the winning of the prescribed number of the balls as the condition, the winning number of the ball goes to be same and the gain to given to the player can be made fair. When the operating condition of the operating member is canceled with the winning of the ball to the specified ball winning port as the condition, contigency can be obtained.

Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] The present invention relates to an improvement of a ball-winning device for a pachinko machine nicknamed tulip, and in particular, the ball-winning device for a pachinko machine, which is nicknamed “Tulip,” is made in an open state with the left and right petals facing outward, respectively, for a predetermined period of time or a predetermined number of balls. To enhance the interest of a game by enabling a specific other batted ball winning tool to be maintained until a batted ball flies in, or until a batted ball flies in.

As is well known, the tulip-shaped hit ball winning tool has an upwardly open pocket 2 on the front surface of the board l for mounting on the game board, as shown in Figure 1.2, and a pocket 2 that is open to the left and right to allow the ball to pass through. The left and right petal pieces 3.3 are each pivotally connected by a shaft 4, and the two-pronged front part of the swinging switching piece 6 is connected at an interval of 100 petal pieces 3.3 through an upper opening 5 provided in the base plate. The swing switching piece 6 is pivotably mounted on a shaft 8 between the left and right side walls 7.7 extending rearward from the side edge of the opening 5, and is attached by its own weight so as to rotate forward and downward. It is a force. When the ball hits the gap between the petal pieces 3.3 when they are standing upright, the ball rides on the front part of the swinging switch piece 6, which is in a gently inclined state with the rear tail slightly lowered. The front portion of the vehicle is supported from below by a stopper piece 5' protruding from the lower end of the upper opening 5.) The vehicle passes through the upper opening 5 on the stopper piece 6, turns to the rear, and flows into the safe passage. At this time, when the batted ball passes behind the shaft 8, the switching piece 6 lowers its rear tail against its own weight due to the weight of the batted ball, assumes a steeply inclined position with its front raised (dashed line in Figure 2), and raises its front. Step 3 on the opposite side of the 100 petal pieces
Push the petal pieces 3.3 outward in sliding contact with a to open the petal pieces 3. (Dotted line in Figure 1), place the two forked corners of the front part on the lower ends 3', 3'.

When the next batted ball enters, this batted ball raises its front part and hits the opening 5.
It does not act on the swinging switching pieces that protrude only a little from the bottom, but falls on the lower ends 3', 3', which lie on each other and close the gap between the petal pieces, and extends from the bottom of the pocket to the lower opening of the base plate. 9 to flow into the safe passage while pushing down the lower ends 3', 3' of the petals 3, 3, and at the same time, the petals 3, 3 return to their original upright pair ~ γ state, and the rocking switching is performed. The front part of the piece 6 is lowered until it is caught by the stopper pieces 5', 5', and returns to its original gently inclined state, and the front part is at the lower end 3' of both pieces.

The inner surface of 3' is supported from the inside to prevent the petals from opening.

In this way, the conventional model has 3.3 petals each time the ball hits the ball.
The opening and closing are repeated alternately, but in order to enhance the interest of the game, the present invention can also maintain the open state, as shown in Fig. 3. An embodiment shown below will be explained.

In the present invention, the flower petal pieces 3, 3 are urged in the direction of opening outward by their own weight, and the swinging switching piece 6 is made to take a steeper retracted position than the steeply inclined position, and swings to this retracted position. An operating member 10 that holds the switching piece 6 is attached.

In this embodiment, a weight 11 is built in outside the portion of each petal piece 3 which is pivoted by the shaft 4, so that it opens outward. Then, the rear g! which connects the rear ends of the left and right side walls! Conventionally, a fixed stopper 12a was provided on the rear wall 12 to catch the rear end of the swing switching piece 6 in a steeply inclined position as shown in FIG. An elastic stopper 12b such as a coil spring, a leaf spring, or a foamed sponge is provided on the extension part 12', and the elastic stopper 12b is normally extended to the extension part 12'.
Receive the rear end of the swinging switching piece 6 in the steeply tilted position at b (
(Fig. 5) When the operating member 10 causes the swing switching piece to take the retracted position, the elastic stopper 12b is compressed or expanded (the fourth
Figure) 1 When the operating member releases the swinging switching piece, the elastic stopper returns the swinging switching piece to the steeply inclined position.

That is, in the past, even if the swing switching piece 6 was steeply sloped, it was not held in that state, so the ball flew in and landed on the lower end portions 3', 3' of the open petal pieces. When trying to make the petal pieces stand upright, the swinging switching piece 6 rotates forward and downward under its own weight as each petal piece rises, allowing the petal piece to stand up without being hindered by the swinging switching piece. . but,
If the swing switching piece is held in a steeply inclined position, the incoming ball will land on the lower ends 3' and 3' of the open petal pieces and try to make the petals stand upright, but the ball is held in the steeply inclined position. The inner side of the petal piece hits both front sides of the swinging switching piece, and the petal piece is only raised halfway, and the petal piece is in a half-open state and the ball hits between the lower ends 3' and 3' of the petal piece. It gets stuck. For this reason, in the present invention, the swing switching piece is made to take a steeper retracted position, and the front part of the swing switching piece is retracted to a position where it will not prevent the petal from standing upright by an incoming ball. and,
Since the 100 flower petals are biased to open, while the swinging switching piece is in the retracted position, the two hole petals close once due to an incoming ball, but open again when the ball passes by. .

Generally, an arm 6'' projects sideways from the rear end of the swing switching piece through an elongated hole 7' in the vertical direction on one of the left and right side walls 7. It is possible to open the ball by a ball that flies into another ball winning tool, or to close the petals that are open.

The actuating member 10 may be one that pushes or pulls the arm 6'' downward to resist the elasticity of the elastic stopper 12b and force the swing switching piece to take a retracted position, and this operation is performed as shown in the figure. This may be done electromagnetically using a magnet M, or by the movement of a stacking rod based on the weight of the pachinko balls.

The actuating member 10 causes the swing switching piece to take the retracted position when the ball is hit by a ball that flies in while the ball batting person's petal piece is closed, passes through the upper opening 5 and goes to the safe passage, or Assuming that the batted ball has entered another specific batted ball winning tool, the maintenance of the retracted posture can be controlled with a timer for a fixed period of time, such as 15 seconds, or the number of batted balls that will fly into the ball can be calculated using a counter. For example, it is sufficient to set the number of balls until 10 balls fly into the ball, or until the ball hits another specific ball winning tool, and if this ends, the swing switching piece will be in a steeply inclined position due to the elasticity stored by the elastic stopper 12b. The petal piece closes when the ball returns to the first position and then opens and closes repeatedly until the swing switching piece assumes the retracted position again.

Furthermore, it is difficult to determine whether the swing switching piece is in the retracted position or in the steeply inclined position, so when it is in the retracted position, a noise is made so that customers can easily notice until the retracted position is finished. Or, it is better to turn on or blink a lamp.

Further, the actuating member 10 includes a driving member 10a that momentarily brings the swinging switching piece 6 into the retracted position, and a swinging member 10a that locks and holds the arm 6' of the swinging switching piece 6 that has been brought into the retracted position. To release the hook member 10b from the retracted position, the swinging hook member tob may be swung to remove the arm 6''.In this way, the drive member 10a may be swung to remove the arm 6''. The operation of the release member 10C for swinging the hook member tab may be instantaneous, and it is possible to prevent an accident in which the magnet burns out when, for example, the swing switching piece is kept in the retracted position using a magnet. The swinging hook member 10b is regulated by a stopper 13, 13' to be able to swing between a state in which the arm 6'' is locked and a state in which it is released, and is normally pulled by a spring or locks the arm 6'' by its own weight. All you have to do is put it in the right condition.

As described above, according to the batted ball winning tool of the present invention, if done well, the petals can be kept open from time to time during play, and there is an opportunity to release a large number of prize balls, which increases the interest of the game. Significantly enhanced.

Claims (2)

[Claims] (1) Inside the upwardly opening pocket provided on the front surface of the mounting board that is attached to the game board, two petal pieces are pivoted so that they can fall outward, keeping a distance that allows a ball to pass through on the left and right sides, The front part of the swing switching piece protrudes from the upper opening formed in the mounting board and is positioned between the two petal pieces.
When both petal pieces are in an upright state, the swinging switching piece is made to take a gently downward tilting position, and at that time, a ball that enters between both petal pieces causes the swinging switching piece to take a steeply downward tilting position. When both petals are open outward, a ball hits the petals and returns both petals to their original upright position.At the same time, the swinging switch piece is returned to its original gently tilted position. In a ball winning device for a pachinko machine that is designed to return to its original position, both petal pieces are biased to open outward, and the swinging switching piece is steeper than the steeply inclined position, so that the front part of both petal pieces opens outward. This ball winning device for a pachinko machine is capable of taking a downwardly backward retracted position without acting on the opposing inner surface, and is equipped with an operating member for causing a swinging switching piece to take the retracted position.
