Description

[Detailed description of the invention] This invention relates to a prize ball discharging device for a pachinko machine, in which a swinging gutter that can store a predetermined amount of prize balls is swung back and forth once every time a ball is hit, and the prize balls are ejected. In particular, in the gutter-type prize ball discharging device that replenishes,
It has a structure that allows you to freely change the number of prize balls to be ejected with a simple operation, increasing its practical value in actual use.

That is, the gist of this invention is that, in the gutter-type prize ball discharging device, a prize ball receiving piece that faces the lower end of the swinging gutter at the prize ball replenishing position of the swinging gutter is fixed to the receiving piece mounting plate; At the upper end of the receiving piece mounting plate, a movable prize ball receiving piece is pivoted so as to be rotatable within a predetermined angle range with a gap equal to the number of prize balls between the ball receiving piece and the receiving piece for the ball receiving piece. can be inserted into or removed from the position where the prize balls are received through the insertion opening provided in the swinging gutter, and the movable prize ball receiving piece is inserted or removed depending on the number of reinforcing prize balls (usually 13 or 15) to receive the prize. The technical means is to convert a ball holder into a prize ball holder or a movable ball holder.

One embodiment will be explained in detail below based on the drawing. In the drawing, 1 is a swinging gutter that can normally store 13 or 15 prize balls A, and the prize balls A can be stored in two rows. It is old and axis 2
The ball swings back and forth once every time a ball is redeemed, so that prize balls A can be continuously ejected and replenished. 3 is a prize ball receiving piece; 4 is a movable prize ball receiving piece; the receiving piece 3a is made to face the lower end of the swinging gutter 1 when prize balls are replenished by the swinging movement of the swinging gutter 1; The receiving piece 4a is inserted through the insertion opening 1a of the swinging gutter 1 to receive the supply ball, and when the prize ball is ejected, the swinging gutter 1 separates from the receiving piece 3a or the receiving piece 4a and enters the swinging gutter 1. A predetermined amount of prize balls A stored in the ball are discharged from the lower discharge opening 5,
In the embodiment, the lower prize ball receiving piece 3 is fixed to the receiving piece mounting plate 9, and only the upper prize ball receiving piece 4 is movable. Thus, the upper movable prize ball receiving piece 4 is provided with a predetermined gap (for example, the space of 2 prize balls A) a between the lower fixed prize ball receiving piece 3 and the upper part of the receiving piece mounting plate 9, and is predetermined by the pivot 6. By manually rotating the movable prize ball receiving piece 4 left and right by a predetermined angular range, the swing gutter 1 is placed in the prize ball replenishing position. The upper end receiving piece 4a can be inserted into and removed from the opening. In this embodiment, a tightening screw 8 is inserted into a long hole 7 bored on both sides of the movable prize ball receiving piece 4 as a means for regulating a predetermined angular range of the movable prize ball receiving piece 4 which is pivotally supported on a pivot 6. The rotation angle range of the movable prize ball receiving piece 4 is regulated. and,
The tightening screw 8 is screwed into the receiving piece mounting plate 9 so that the movable prize ball receiving piece 4 can be positioned and tightened at the insertion position or the ejected position. In addition, 10 is a replenishment ball receiving piece protruding from one side of the upper end of the swinging gutter 1, and when the swinging gutter 1 reaches the prize ball discharge position, it is located at the lower part of the ball outflow opening 11a of the prize ball supply passage 11. It is designed to prevent the outflow of supply balls. Reference numeral 12 denotes a swinging rod provided on one side of the middle of the swinging gutter 1, and the ball is connected to the tip of the connecting rod 13 which passes through the safe ball control device and is operated by the safe ball. Each time a redemption is made, the swinging gutter 1 is swung back and forth once to continuously discharge the prize balls A in the swinging gutter 1 and replenish the prize balls A to the swinging gutter 1. 14 and 15 are stoppers for regulating the swing range of the swing gutter 1; 16;
is the prize ball exit route.

In the above configuration, when the movable prize ball receiving piece 4 is rotated clockwise by loosening the tightening screw 8 and rotating by a predetermined angle about the pivot 6, the receiving piece 4a
is inserted into the swinging gutter 1 at the prize ball replenishment position through its insertion port 1a, and the tightening screw 8 is tightened to firmly hold the movable prize ball receiving piece 4 in this position, and the movable prize ball receiving piece 4 is inserted into the fixed prize ball receiving piece 3 directly below it. This prevents the prize balls from being stored within the interval a (see solid line in Figure 1). Therefore, if the distance a between the fixed prize ball receiving piece 3 and the movable prize ball receiving piece 4 is equivalent to two prize balls A, then the fixed prize ball receiving piece 3 will receive 15 prize balls A. Then 13
It can be converted into individual prize balls. Next, when the movable prize ball receiver piece 4 is rotated counterclockwise by loosening the tightening screw 8 and rotated by a predetermined angle about the pivot 6, the movable prize ball receiver piece 4a moves to the swing gutter 1 at the prize ball replenishing position. When the movable prize ball holding piece 4 is fixed in the position by tightening the tightening screw 8 (see the chain line in Figure 1), the prize ball A is attached to the fixed prize ball holding piece 3 at the bottom and the 15 pieces are fixed. This allows the prize balls to be stored.

As explained above, this idea combines a fixed prize ball holder and a movable prize ball holder, and allows the movable prize ball holder to be rotated within a predetermined angle range, allowing prizes to be easily won. The structure allows you to freely change the number of prize balls that can be replenished and received in the swing gutter by inserting or ejecting them into the swing gutter at the ball replenishment position and positioning them. It can be easily converted depending on the number, and is extremely convenient and useful in actual use, and has high practical value.
