Abstract

PURPOSE:To prevent the increase of the size of a pin ball game machine by a method wherein in a prize ball delivery means having quantities of prize ports, prize balls orderly arranged in two rows are fed, and the number of pass passages on the whole is suppressed to three rows. CONSTITUTION:A safe hole 12 and a double prize holes 12a-12e formed in a game board 11 of a pin ball game machine 10 are decided so that the specified number, (for example, 10 balls) per one prize ball are delivered, and the number of arranging spots is set to a relatively high value. A safe hole 13 is decided so that the number of balls, (for example, 25 balls) different from the number of prize balls delivered by means of the prize ball of each safe hole 12 and each of the double prize holes 12a-12e is delivered, and the number of arranging spots is set to a relatively low value. When a ball enters either the safe hole 12 or the double prize holes 12a-12e, each time prize balls are dropped one by one by means of a prize ball processor 27, for example, 10 prize balls are mechanically delivered from a prize ball delivery mechanism 34. Further, a prize ball delivery mechanism 40 can deliver, for example, 25 prize balls when a special prize ball enters a safe hole 13.

Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Application Field] The present invention relates to a pachinko game machine, and in particular, the winning area is divided into at least two types of winning openings, and the winning area belonging to each winning opening type is divided into two types. This relates to a pachinko game in which a different number of prize balls can be paid out depending on the winning number of pachinko balls.

[Conventional technology]

As is well known, the pachinko game, in which the game is played by hitting pachinko balls, has been put into practical use and is popular among players as a handy leisure activity. In conventional pachinko game machines, is it formed on the game board? ! ! As a general rule, the number of prize balls paid out in accordance with the number of winning balls that hit the winning area (safe hole and winning ball device) was the same in all cases.

[Problems that the invention attempts to solve] By the way, in the winning area formed on the game board of a pachinko game machine, the difficulty level of winning balls is not uniform, but rather, the difficulty level of winning balls varies depending on the winning flIa. The ball is clearly divided into a tall area where it is easy to win a prize and an area where it is difficult to win a prize. In addition, the difficulty level of winning a winning ball device or the like changes. For this reason, for example, in a prize area where pachinko balls are difficult to win, a relatively large number of prize balls will be paid out according to the winning pachinko balls, and in a prize area where it is easy to win a pachinko ball, a relatively large number of prize balls will be paid out. In view of the ball payout rate of the pachinko game machine, it is desirable for the game to be more interesting if a relatively small number of prize balls are paid out.

Therefore, the present invention provides at least two types of prize ball payout means according to the winning areas formed on the game board,
The purpose is to provide a pachinko game in which a predetermined number of prize balls are paid out by each prize ball paying means.

[Means for Solving the Problems] In the pachinko game mode according to the present invention, the winning area is at least a winning area belonging to a first type of winning opening type and a second winning area.
The winning area is divided into one type of winning opening and one winning area. When a pachinko ball enters a winning area corresponding to the winning opening type of the first company, a mechanical prize ball dispensing means for dispensing the prize ball is driven by a mechanical action, and a second pachinko ball is driven.
When a pachinko ball enters a winning area that conforms to the winning opening type, an electrical prize ball dispensing means for dispensing a prize ball in accordance with electrical energization is operated.

[Operation] The mechanical prize ball dispensing means and the electrical prize ball dispensing means are as follows:
Since a predetermined number of prize balls are paid out for each type, it is possible to pay out a different number of prize balls for each type of 11 entry areas.

Further, a ball hitting mechanism 26 is provided below the back surface of the front panel. Although the illustrated batted ball R8426 is a case of a well-known electric batted ball opening groove, a manual ball batted mechanism may be used instead.

A prize ball tank 31 is fixed to the upper part of the back panel. At the top of the prize ball tank 31, a supply 8ffi32 for replenishing prizes is provided. A through hole is drilled below the three prize tanks, and an alignment path 33 is provided that slopes from the bottom of the hole drilled position toward the right side in the figure for lining up prize balls in multiple rows. ing. As shown in FIG. 3(b), the alignment path 33 has three rows of alignment paths from the bottom of the through-hole drilling position to the middle part, and there are two lines of alignment paths and one line of alignment paths in the middle. It is divided into

The two rows of alignment paths are led to the upper position of the first prize payout mechanism 34. On the other hand, one row of alignment paths is shielded in the middle and has a through hole bored in its bottom surface to be guided downward and connected to the guide path 35. The guide path 35 passes through the passage path 411 of the second prize payout mechanism 40 and is guided to the prize payout opening 161 (see FIG. 1). In addition, a prize ball out detection switch 35 is provided in the middle of the alignment path 33.

The prize dispensing mechanism 34 stores a predetermined number of prizes.
a storage section, an exit valve that opens the lower outlet of the first storage section and dispenses the prize stored in the first storage section by rotating a lever 371, which will be described later; and an inlet valve that closes the upper inlet and opens when the outlet valve opens. Below this prize top payout mechanism 34, a path 361 is provided to guide the prize top to the top prize payout port 161, and also guide balls overflowing in the ball waiting area 1516!117 to the surplus prize ball payout port 162. A path 362 is provided below the path 361.

Next, the related structure of the prize ball processing device 27 and the prize ball payout mechanism 34, and the prize payout operation of the prize payout mechanism 34 will be explained.

The winning ball processor 27 has a configuration in which a cylindrical member 271 is swingably supported by a support member 272, and a ball receiving portion 273 fixed to the tip of the cylindrical member 271 is inserted into a meandering path 214. Then, the safe hole 12 or the Yakumono 12a~
12e is guided by the path 213 and the meandering path 214 and falls, and when the falling pachinko ball is placed on the ball holder 273, the cylindrical member 271 rotates. At this time, the hook 382 formed on the lever 381 connected to the cylindrical member 271 is released from the engaged state, and preparations for dispensing the prize are made. And winning ball processor 2
When the winning top dropped by 7 falls down the meandering path 214, the winning top rests on the ball rest of the lever 371 inserted into the four straight parts of the meandering path 214, and its own weight supports the fulcrum 372. Rotate the lever 371 downward as the center.

Rotation of the lever 371 pushes up the vertical rod 373, thereby opening the outlet valve of one reservoir of the prize top dispensing mechanism 34 and closing the inlet valve to prevent prize tops from flowing in from the alignment path 33; The prize stored in the storage part is paid out. At this time, the top of the paid prize is on the ball mounting board 38.
4, the weight of the ball pushes down and rotates the ball mounting board 384, thereby dispensing the prize on the prize 01.
Leads to 61. At this time, due to the rotation of the bearing plate 384, the lever 383 is pulled up, and therefore the cylindrical member 27
1 is restored. In this way, each time the winning ball processing device 27 sequentially drops one winning ball, a relatively small number (for example, 10) of winning balls are transferred to the first prize payout mechanism 3.
It is mechanically dispensed from 4.

Next, details of the second prize ball payout mechanism 40 will be explained. FIG. 4 is a detailed diagram of the prize payout mechanism 40, especially (a
) shows its assembled perspective view, and (b) shows its exploded perspective view. The specific configuration of the second prize payout mechanism 40 will be described with reference to FIGS. 2 and 4.

A passage path 411 is vertically formed on one side of the plate member 41 . A notch 412 is formed along the vertical direction on the side surface of the passage path 411, and a part of the arc-shaped gear 42 is inserted into the notch 412. Arc-shaped teeth! ! 42
is formed by forming a plurality of semicircular notches 421 and protrusions 422 alternately and repeatedly at predetermined intervals. The semicircular notch 421 is cut into a semicircular shape having a radius slightly larger than the radius of a pachinko ball, for example. The number of semicircular notches 421 formed on the outer periphery of the arcuate tooth 142 is
For example, if there are 10 balls, 5 balls will be paid out every 1/2 rotation, and by rotating for 2 and a half rotations, when there is a special prize ball in the special safe hole 13, it will be paid out. It is possible to pay out a relatively large number of prize balls, that is, 25 prize balls. Arc-shaped gear 4
A cam 423 is provided on the side surface of the cam 423, which is divided into four parts at 90 degrees each and is formed by alternately repeating arcuate protrusions and recesses. A gear 424 is fixed to the side surface of the cam 423. This arc-shaped gear 42, cam 423, and gear 42
4 are integrally fixed and inserted through a shaft 441 formed on the plate-like member 41, and these are pivotally supported by the shaft 441. The gear 424 has lli! ! ! 43 are engaged. The side surface (in the figure, the back surface) of the gear 43 is formed in a stepped shape with different circumferences, and a part of the outer circumferential edge is cut out to form a ff! edge with the inner circumferential edge. The cam 431 is formed as follows. A shaft insertion hole 432 is bored in the center of the gear 43 and the cam 431, and the shaft insertion hole 432 is inserted into the plate member 41.
It is inserted through and pivotally supported by a shaft 442 formed in ξ.

The engagement lever 45 selectively engages with the cam 423 to lock the rotation of the arc-shaped gear 42, and is formed with a hook-shaped portion 451 that comes into contact with the cam 423 at all ends thereof, and has a hook-shaped portion 451 on the central side thereof. A shaft insertion hole 452 is formed. A lever 453 that contacts the outer peripheral surface of the cam 431 is biased by a spring 454 and is rotatably screwed onto the right side surface of the engagement lever 45. The retaining lever 45 configured in this way is configured so that the cam 423 is moved by the spring 456 inserted through the shaft 443.
It is inserted through and pivotally supported by a shaft 443 so as to be resiliently biased to the side. Then, arc-shaped gears 42. m car 43. With the engagement lever 45 pivoted, the tip of each shaft 441, 442, 443 is attached to the bearing plate 44.
It is inserted into a bearing hole drilled in the shaft and is secured with an E-shaped retaining ring 443.

Further, an engagement piece 457 is provided at the other end of the engagement lever 45.
is formed. The engagement piece 457 is linked to a plunger 461 of the solenoid 46.

Further, an intermittent feed lever 47 is swingably provided on the upper part of the arc-shaped gear 42 in order to prevent the arc-shaped m wheel 42 from rotating at high speed rgj at zero rotation of the pachinko ball. . Furthermore, a mounting plate 413 is provided above the solenoid 46 and is screwed onto the plate-like member 41 . A detection switch 48 is mounted on the mounting plate 413 so as to face the tip of the plunger 461. The detection switch 48 is used to detect the number of times the prize ball payout mechanism 40 is operated.

FIG. 5 is an illustration for explaining the operation of the second prize ball payout mechanism 40, in particular, (a) is a front view of the state in which the arcuate gear 42 is locked and the prize ball payout operation is stopped; (
b) is a vertical sectional view taken along line bb' in the state of (a), and (C) is a front view in the state where prize balls are paid out. Next, referring to FIGS. 1 to 5, we will explain the operation when a relatively large number of prize balls, for example, 25 prize balls, are paid out based on the ball hitting the special safe hole 73. Give an explanation.

When the hit ball enters the special safe hole 13, the special prize ball is dropped by the cylindrical member 221 of the special prize ball processing device 22 and is processed.

At this time, the detection switch 2
24 is closed, the solenoid p46 is energized for a short time based on the output of the detection switch 224. In response to the energization control of the solenoid 46, the plunger 461 is attracted, rotates the engagement lever 45 counterclockwise, and releases the engagement state between the hook portion 451 of the engagement lever 45 and the cam 423. At the same time as the engagement lever 45 rotates, the lever 453 that had been in contact with the inner peripheral edge of the cam 431 is moved by the spring 45.
Due to the elastic force of the cam 431, it rotates toward the front side and comes into contact with the outer peripheral edge of the cam 431, and the solenoid 46 is turned off! Even after j, the engagement lever 45 maintains its rotational state. Accordingly, arcuate teeth llI4
2 is released, the protrusion 422 inserted into the notch 412 is pushed down by the ball's own weight, and the arc-shaped gear 42 is therefore rotated clockwise. Due to the rotation of the arc-shaped gear 42, the pachinko balls in the passage path 411 fall one by one while fitting into each of the semi-circular arc notches 421 one after another.
5 to the upper prize payout port 161.

In this way, when the arc shape [142] rotates, the rotation is transmitted to the cam 431 via the gears 424 and 43. At this time, the lever 453 maintains the rotating state of the engagement lever 45 while coming into contact with the outer peripheral edge of the cam 431. When the gear 43 rotates approximately three-quarters of a turn, the lever 4
The position of contact with the cam 431 of 53 shifts from the outer circumferential edge to the inner circumferential edge.

Then, when the arcuate gear 42 rotates 2 turns + 1/4 turn, the tip of the lever 453 falls to the position where it comes into contact with the innermost peripheral edge of the cam 431, thereby causing the hook portion 4 of the lever 45 to
Finish lifting 51. For this reason, lever 4
When the hook portion 451 of No. 5 comes into contact with the concave position of the cam 423 and the arcuate gear 42 further rotates by a quarter, the cam 42
3 and the protrusion of the hook portion 451 are engaged and locked, and the rotation of the arc-shaped gear 42 is stopped. by this,
The arc-shaped gear 42 rotates 2 + 1/2 revolutions, and as a result, a relatively large number of prizes, that is, 25 prizes, are paid out.

As mentioned above, in this embodiment, when a prize is won in either the safe hole 12 or the Yakumono 12a to 120, the prize payout machine jA34 awards a relatively small number, for example, 10.
A number of prizes are mechanically paid out, and a second prize ball payout mechanism 40 controls the payout of a relatively large number of prizes, for example, 25 MJ, depending on the number of prizes entered into the special safe hole 13.

In the above explanation, the first prize payout mechanism 34 is a mechanical prize payout device that pays out a relatively small fixed number of prizes each time it is paid out, and the second prize payout mechanism 34 is a mechanical prize payout device. As described above, the payout mechanism 40 is an electrical prize payout device, and pays out a relatively large number of prizes each time it is paid out.
These configurations may be reversed. That is, a relatively small fixed number of prizes are paid out for each payout by the electrical prize payout device of the second prize payout device 40, and the mechanical prize payout device of the first prize payout device is The device may pay out a relatively small number of prizes each time.

Further, if necessary, a sound effect generating circuit, a lamp display circuit, etc. may be provided to notify that a relatively large number of prizes using special prize balls are being paid out.

Incidentally, instead of the above-mentioned second prize dispensing mechanism 4o, an electrically driven prize dispensing mechanism of the place name l can be considered. Below, embodiments of 1.2 will be described regarding various electrically driven prize dispensing mechanisms.

FIG. 6 is an illustrative view showing another example of the second prize payout mechanism. In the prize payout mechanism 60 of this embodiment, a passage path 611 is provided directly on one side of a plate member 61, and this passage path 611 is connected to the guide path 35. A groove-shaped notch 612 is formed along the vertical direction on the side surface of the passage path 611, and the arc-shaped gear 62 is inserted into the groove-shaped notch 612. On the outer periphery of this arc-shaped gear 62, there is a semicircular notch 62 that correlates to the arc of the pachinko ball.
A plurality of protrusions 1 and 622 are formed alternately and repeatedly at predetermined intervals. A through hole 623 for detecting the rotation angle is formed in the side surface of the arcuate gear 62. A cam 63 is formed on the side surface of the arcuate gear 62 with a protrusion 631 that projects sharply at every fixed rotation angle on its outer periphery, and that gradually falls inward until the subsequent fixed rotation angle. It is fixed. The cam 63 and the arcuate gear 62 are integrally supported by a shaft 64. Na Jj, ■
In the example shown in FIG.
The protrusion 631 and the through hole 623 are connected to the semicircular notch 621.
The case where one piece is formed for every five pieces is shown.

A photoelectric sensor 65 that generates an electric signal (pulse) in response to the arrival of the through hole 623 is provided on a concentric circle of the through hole 623 bored in the side surface of the arcuate gear 62 . Note that a reed switch or the like may be used instead of the charging sensor 65 to detect the rotation angle. Also, arc-shaped t
1m62? To prevent it from rotating at jfJ speed,
A brake lever 66 is provided along the semicircular notch 621 of the arcuate gear 62 and comes into contact with it intermittently. Furthermore, it locks with the protrusion 631 of the cam 63 and forms an arcuate tooth! A stopper mechanism 67 for stopping the rotation of 162 is provided. This stopper lever mechanism 67 includes a claw-like part 671 that engages with the protrusion part 631 of the cam 63, and the upper part of the claw-like part 671 is connected to the support shaft 672.
The end portion 673 on the side opposite to the claw-like portion 671 is pivotally supported by a plunger 681 of the solenoid 68 .

This plunger 68 is controlled by a prize payout control circuit 691.

In operation, when the detection switch 224 derives a detection output due to the hitting ball entering the special safe hole 13, the prize payout control circuit 691 starts energizing control of the solenoid 68. When the solenoid 68 is energized, the plunger 681 is attracted and the stopper mechanism 67 is attracted, thereby releasing the engagement between the cam 63 and the claw-shaped portion 671. For this reason,
The arc-shaped gear 62 rotates at the ball's own speed to rotate the pachinko ball.
I! il sequentially and intermittently. Each time the photoelectric sensor 65 detects the through hole 623, the detection output is provided to the prize payout control circuit 691. The prize payout control circuit 691 activates the solenoid 68 when the photoelectric sensor 65 derives four pulses based on a relatively large number of balls, for example, 25, which is preset in the payout ball number setting unit 692.
By deenergizing the stopper, the claw-like portion 67 of the mechanism 67
1 is brought into contact with the outer periphery of the cam 63. And cam 6a
When the cam 63 rotates another third of a turn, the protrusion 631 of the cam 63
The claw-shaped portion 671 engages with the arc-shaped tooth 1162 to stop rotation, thereby controlling the payout of the 25 prizes.

In this manner, the prize payout mechanism 6° of this embodiment can also electrically control the prize payout.

In addition, by variably setting the number of prize balls to be paid out in the number of prize balls to be paid out setting section 692, the number of prize balls to be paid out based on the winning balls in the special safe hole 13 can be set based on the winning balls in the first winning area. It is also possible to variably set the number to an appropriate number, such as 20 or 30, within a relatively large number compared to the number of prize balls to be paid out. In this way, if you want to variably set the number of prize balls to be paid out based on the winning balls in the special safe hole, a board with the number of prize balls written on the front part of the special safe hole 13 formed on the front surface of the game board. The shaped member is configured to be detachable,
It is preferable to attach a plate-like member on which the set number of prize balls is written. This has the advantage that the number of prize balls to be paid out based on winning balls in the special safe hole can be changed quickly with a simple structure and at low cost.

The second prize payout mechanism may be roughly configured as follows. For example 1. A motor is prepared as an electric drive member, a conveyor belt is provided that is moved by the motor, and as the conveyor belt is moved by the motor, the pachinko balls are sequentially moved and paid out one by one as a prize. A pachinko ball detection sensor is provided in connection with the payout part on the prize, and when the number of pachinko balls detected by the pachinko ball detection sensor becomes constant,
It is also possible to adopt a configuration in which the driving of the motor is stopped.

[Results of the Invention] As described above, according to the present invention, a desired number of prizes can be appropriately paid out by driving corresponding prize paying means according to the type of winning area. A pachinko game machine can be provided. As a result, the number of prizes that the player obtains depending on the type of winning area of the pachinko game machine differs depending on the type of winning area of the pachinko game machine, which increases the fun of the game.

In addition, effects such as ease of setting the difficulty level of winning a pachinko ball to a winning area to a preferable difficulty level according to each winning area are obtained.
