Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] The present invention provides balls used for games and prize balls (prize balls).
To provide a pachinko game machine which allows playing the same game as a conventional pachinko game machine while properly using two types of balls in addition to the ball used for the pachinko game machine.

More specifically, the present invention relates to balls used for games,
That is, the game balls are stored in advance in a game ball storage chamber provided inside the gaming machine, and the game balls are supplied from this storage chamber to the starting end of the firing band in conjunction with the operation of the firing device and are launched. All balls that have finished playing the game, regardless of whether they are safe balls or out balls, are collected into the storage chamber, and the balls that have become safe balls are used to release prize balls from the prize ball case through the safe ball passage. Then, another prize ball stored in the prize ball case is released as a prize ball to the player in the same way as in a conventional pachinko game machine, and there is a space between the prize ball tray and the game ball storage chamber. A ball exchange device that equivalently exchanges game balls and prize balls is provided to exchange the balls (game balls) supplied to the starting end of the firing band with the prize balls, and the balls used for this exchange are discharged. To provide a pachinko game machine in which game balls discharged outside the system through a channel and used prize balls are separated in completely independent systems.

As is well-known, pachinko machines use balls borrowed from a pachinko parlor (pachinko parlor) to play the game, and when the balls fired during the game fly into the safe ball opening provided on the game board, a predetermined number of balls are fired by the player. received the prize ball,
While the prize balls are repeated, the game can be continued by using the prize balls or by supplementing with newly borrowed balls. Therefore, the game balls and prize balls used in conventional pachinko machines are exactly the same.

In this way, it may seem easy to manage the ball used in the game and the ball used as the prize ball at first glance, but the actual management is extremely difficult.

In particular, when the ball comes into contact with the player's hand as in the past, the ball gets dirty and needs to be polished to maintain its luster, but the inside of the game machine, especially the game board surface, where the ball passes through, gets dirty. Since the ball becomes sticky as the ball is exposed to water, which can cause ball clogging, it is necessary to polish the ball constantly or periodically within the ball system.

In addition, when the game ball and the prize ball are the same, the same quality control is required for all of the tens to hundreds of thousands of pachinko balls used in the hall in order to ensure the fairness of the game. This management has become an extremely difficult problem for halls.
In particular, since pachinko balls are constantly or periodically polished as mentioned above in this management, there will inevitably be a difference in ball diameter between balls that have been used for a long time and newly replenished balls. Additionally, even when a large number of new balls are replenished, some manufacturing errors occur, and it is not easy to maintain uniformity in terms of cost.

Furthermore, because traditionally the balls used in games came into contact with players' hands, it was possible for players to mix illegal balls with legal balls to play illegally. In some cases, this caused mechanical failure.

The present invention has been researched and developed in view of such conventional defects, and it completely separates the ball used for the game from the prize ball, and the ball used for the game (hereinafter referred to as the game ball) is separated from the prize ball. The game balls are stored in a storage chamber provided inside the machine, and the firing device fires the game balls taken out from this storage chamber, and also makes sure that the fired balls fly into either the safe ball port or the out ball port provided on the game board. Even if a game ball enters the safe ball opening, the game ball is collected into the storage chamber so that the game is always played using only the game balls that have been sealed in advance inside the gaming machine. To provide a pachinko game machine in which prize balls are awarded to a player by passing this through a safe ball passage and acting on a prize ball case storing separately prepared prize balls.

Further, the present invention provides a ball exchange in which a prize ball released to the player from the prize ball case and a ball borrowed by the player (hereinafter, both are simply referred to as prize balls) are exchanged with the game ball. The system is equipped with a device that allows players to exchange prize balls with game balls while the prize balls are on the player's side, allowing them to play the game. To provide a pachinko game machine that allows complete equivalent exchange.

Furthermore, the present invention links the exchange of prize balls and game balls by the ball exchange device with the firing device, so that when the firing device hits the game balls, the game balls can be sent from the storage chamber to the starting end of the firing band. To provide a pachinko game machine which prevents blank play for a certain period of time.

Further, the present invention provides a way to communicate the game ball storage chamber with the game ball passageway connected to the game ball opening provided in the guide rail that forms the game section by surrounding the front of the game board or in the middle of the firing band. At the same time, a pachinko game machine is installed in which the award balls that passed through the ball exchange device and were exchanged for game balls are recovered and returned to the player, where they can be exchanged equivalently. It is about providing.

Furthermore, on the front side of the game board 2, there is a guide rail attached in a spiral shape following the launch band 8 to form a game section on the board surface, and within the game section surrounded by this rail there are obstacles to prevent the ball from falling. Obstacles such as nails, windmills, etc. and safe ball ports are provided, and an out ball port 15 is provided at the lower end of the guide rail as shown by the broken line.

In the figure, 16 is a game ball storage chamber for storing game balls A, and 17 is a chamber for equivalently exchanging the prize balls B received in the prize ball tray 13 with the game balls A. A ball exchanging device 18 is provided along with the ball exchanging device, and swings as prize balls pass through the ball exchanging device to eject game balls from the storage chamber 16 at the starting end of the band 8. 8
This is a feeding device that feeds the material into the container a.

The game ball storage chamber 16 is a board 1a that is fixedly provided in the lower part of the machine frame 1 (this board is located at the bottom of the game board when the game board 2 is fixedly provided with respect to the machine frame). ) is housed in a cavity formed by cutting out the firing band 8, and is provided in the vicinity of the firing band 8 in a forward downward slope, with its tip facing the starting end 8a and communicating therewith. .

The game balls A are stored in this storage chamber 16 in a line, and as will be described later, by the operation of the feeding device 18, the game balls A are sent out one by one from the first game ball to the starting end 8a of the firing band. and
The sent out game ball is passed through the pestle 5 of the launching device 3.
The ball is guided by the firing band 8 and launched into the game section by the impact.

The above-mentioned firing device 3 is of the same type as that which has been put into practical use in conventional so-called electric pachinko game machines, and the spring 4 is rotated by rotating a fan-shaped winding piece 19 by rotating a handle (not shown). At the same time, the wire 20 is wound in and the elastic force of the punch rod 5 is adjusted, and at the same time, the motor 6 is turned on and the cam 7 is rotated, so that the punch rod 5 biased by the spring 4 is turned on. The ball supplied to the starting point 8a is fired, and the game ball fired by this hit enters either the safe ball opening provided in the gaming section or the out ball opening 15. Become.

In this invention, the balls that have entered the out ball opening 15 return to the game ball storage chamber through the out ball passage 21 that connects the ball opening and the rear end of the game ball storage chamber 16. On the other hand, the ball that has entered the safe ball opening is placed in the safe ball gathering chamber 14.
The ball is guided into the prize ball case 11 along its sloping bottom 22, and after activating the prize ball case, is returned through the safe ball passage 23 to the game ball storage chamber 16 with which it communicates in the same way as the out ball. It will be.

The prize ball case 11 is formed into a cylindrical shape that can accommodate a predetermined number of prize balls B, and has a support shaft 2 implanted in the substrate 1a.
4 as a fulcrum, and is always tilted upward in the front under the weight of the rear end side, with the front end opening 11a facing the lower end of the prize ball guiding channel 10, from which the ball is transferred. The prize ball to be played is housed inside. A cam-shaped rotary wheel 25 rotated by a motor (not shown) is provided inside the safe ball passage 23 passing downward, and a swinging rod 26 is further supported so as to be in contact with the upper surface of the rotary wheel. Axis 2
It is provided so that it can freely swing around 7 as a fulcrum.

The rotating wheel 25 receives the safe balls flowing from the safe ball collection chamber 14 into the safe ball passage 23 in its groove and rotates, and the rotating wheel 25 rotates by receiving the safe balls flowing into the safe ball passage 23 from the safe ball collection chamber 14.
The rod 2 hanging from the rear of the prize ball case 11 is pushed up using the support shaft 27 as a fulcrum by passing between the rods 2 and 6.
8 is pushed up to cause the prize ball case to fall forward and downward (see Figure 5), and as the prize ball case falls, a predetermined number of prize balls B stored inside are opened downward. 12. During this time, the prize balls attempting to escape from the prize ball guide gutter 10 are blocked by a stopper 29 protruding from the upper part of the front end opening 11a of the prize ball case 11. After the prize balls have been released, the prize ball case is restored to its original state by the weight of the rear end, and the prize balls are stored inside in preparation for the passage of the next safe ball.

Next, from this prize ball case 11, the prize ball ejection path 12
The prize balls ejected into the base board 1a escape to the front of the board 1a through a communication port 30 provided at the lower end, and are guided to a prize ball tray 13 attached to the front surface of the board.

As shown in FIG. 6, the prize ball tray 13 in this embodiment is provided with a guide groove 31 that slopes in one direction along the front edge of the bottom of the ball receiver 13a, and from the inclined lower end of this guide groove, the ball tray 13 further extends from the base plate 1a. A guide path 32 with a downward slope extends toward the side so that the opening at its tip faces the lower end of the ball exchange device 17 provided on the back surface of the substrate 1a.

In this embodiment, the ball exchange device 17 includes a pair of pulleys 33 and 34 facing each other vertically, and a ball receiving groove 35 provided at a required interval on the outer circumferential surface of the pulley.
An endless belt 36 arranged in a row, and this belt 3
6, and a guide rail 37 attached in parallel to surround the outside of the pulley 33
A belt 39 is attached to a pulley 38 provided on the rotating shaft of the cam 7 rotated by the motor 6 of the firing device 3, and the belt 39 is stretched around the pulley 38 provided on the rotation shaft of the cam 7 rotated by the motor 6 of the firing device 3. belt 3
6 can be operated.

Above this ball exchange device 17 is a support shaft 4.
A feeding device 18 that swings about 0 as a fulcrum is located, and an upper end 37a where the guide rail 37 cuts faces a discharge path 41 for discharging the balls that have passed through the ball changing device 17 to the outside of the machine.

The feeding device 18 is rod-shaped, and a spherical weight 42 is provided at the rear end facing directly above the ball exchange device 18, and a push-up rod 43 is provided at the other end portion 18a, and this push-up rod 43 is used for the game. Ball storage chamber 16
It is facing from below at the front end of.

As shown in an enlarged view in FIG. 3, this feeding device 18 normally has its rear end in contact with the outer circumferential surface of the belt 36 of the ball changing device by means of a weight 42, and in this state, the thrusting rod at the tip end 43 is pushed into the tip of the storage chamber 16 to prevent the game ball A from moving forward along the slope.

By the way, as mentioned above, the ball changing device 17 operates its belt 36 by driving the motor 6, and along with this movement, the balls guided from the guide path 32 (which have arrived in the prize ball tray 13) are Balls) are received one after another into the ball receiving portion 35 and raised. Then, the feeding device 1 circumferentially surrounds the balls one by one.
8, and push it up each time, and as it is pushed up, the push-up rod 4 at the tip
3 is moved up and down, and the storage chamber 16 is moved up and down by this up and down movement.
The game ball A inside is sent to the starting end 8a of the firing band 8. A step is provided between the tip of the storage chamber 16 and the starting end 8a to prevent natural inflow, so that the particles can be fed one by one only by pushing up the push-up rod 43.

Therefore, through the joint work of the ball exchange device 17 and the feeding device 18, one prize ball B is delivered to the ball exchange device 17.
When passing through, the feeding device 18 is swung once about the support shaft 40, and one game ball A is sent from the storage chamber 16 to the starting end of the firing band by the pushing up of the pushing rod 43. While the prize balls B continue to be sent from the prize ball tray 13 as the belt 36 moves, this movement continues, and one prize ball B is continuously replaced with one game ball A. It turns out. During this time, motor 6
The cam 7 is rotated by the drive of the cam 7, and the punch 5 repeats the firing operation, so that the game balls A supplied to the starting end 8a are fired toward the gaming section.
In this case, by synchronizing the batting motion of the pestle 5 in accordance with the exchange of the prize ball B and the game ball A, it becomes possible to fire the batted balls in accordance with the exchange of the prize ball and the game ball, and also to continuously fire the batted balls. Therefore, in the gaming machine of the present invention that uses two types of balls, prize balls and game balls, exactly the same gaming feeling as in the conventional pachinko gaming machine that uses one type of ball can be obtained.

On the other hand, the prize balls that have passed under the feeding device 18 by the belt 36 are sent to the discharge path 41 and discharged outside the machine.

In the figure, 44 is a bypass passage connected to and branched off from the discharge passage 41, and 45 is a spare bulb chamber provided in this bypass passage.

This bypass passage 44 is a passage that preferentially receives prize balls that have been exchanged with game balls flowing down the discharge passage 41 (balls that have lost their value as prize balls in terms of gaming), and is provided in the middle of this passage. Spare ball room 4
5, a plurality of (three in the drawing) the above-mentioned prize balls, that is, spare balls C are stored.

This spare ball is used to return a ball corresponding to the FAR ball to the player when the fired game ball A becomes a FAR ball.

In this embodiment, the Far ball opening 46 is provided at the joint between the tip of the firing band 8 and the guide rail 47, and the Far ball passage 48 is connected to the Far ball opening 46, and the Far ball passage is used for storing the game balls. It communicates with the rear end of the chamber 16. and,
A rotary wheel 50 having ball receiving grooves 49 on its circumferential surface is provided in the middle of this Far ball passage 48, and this rotary wheel 50 has an L-shaped detection rod 52 swingably supported on a support shaft 51. are provided opposite to each other, and a lifting rod 53 that extends into the preliminary ball chamber 45 is connected to one end of the detection rod 52.

The rotating wheel 50 and the detection rod 52 constitute a detection device that detects the Farr ball passing through the Farr ball passage 48, and the pulling rod 53 bypasses the spare ball C stored in the spare ball chamber 45 in conjunction with this detection. The ball is flowed into the passage 44 and returned to the prize ball tray 13 as a prize ball.

That is, if the game ball A fired by the operation of the firing device 3 returns without reaching the gaming section, or once it reaches the gaming section, the ball that is bounced back is returned to the Fuar ball opening 46 as a Fuar ball. enter,
The ball is returned to the storage chamber 16 through the Far ball passage 48. At this time, the ball returning through the Farr ball path is received by the groove 49 of the rotary wheel 50, and as the ball rotates, the spherical surface pushes away the circumferential sensing rod 52, causing it to swing around the spindle 51. The lifting rod 53 is pulled up, and the spare balls C in the spare ball chamber 45 are lifted up one by one, allowed to climb over the stepped portion 54 that separates the spare ball chamber, and are returned to the prize ball tray 13 through the bypass passage 44.

Therefore, in the present invention, the game ball storage chamber 16
As mentioned above, in addition to the safe balls and out balls, the Fuar balls that entered the Fuar ball mouth will also be returned, and all fired game balls will be collected here. As for the Fuar balls, while returning to the storage chamber 16, the balls stored in the spare ball chamber are returned to the prize ball tray by passing through a detection device consisting of a rotary wheel 50 and a detection rod 52, and the balls become Fuar balls. This is where you can replenish prize balls that are released outside the aircraft as replacement balls. In addition, the above-mentioned rotating wheel 5
0 is rotated by a belt 55 stretched between it and the pulley 33 of the ball exchange device 17, so that it does not interfere with the passage of the Fur ball.

The embodiments illustrating the present invention have been described above, but as is clear from the above description of the configuration, the pachinko gaming machine of the present invention comprises a ball A used in the game and a ball B used as a prize ball. A major feature is that the passages are completely independent and do not mix.

That is, as described above, game balls A are stored in the game ball storage chamber 16, and are exchanged for prize balls B through the operation of the ball exchange device 17 and feed device 18, which are linked with the firing operation of the firing device 3. is supplied to the starting end 8a of the firing band and is fired to be used in the game, and if the fired game ball turns out to be a safe ball, the safe ball collection room 14 and the prize ball case 1
1. All the balls return to the game ball storage chamber through the safe ball passage 23, or through the out ball passage 21 if the ball is an out ball, and through the false ball passage 48 if the ball is a foul ball; Next prize ball B
It will be prepared for exchange with Therefore, the game ball A used here always remains within the pachinko game machine and circulates along the above-mentioned path.

On the other hand, the prize ball B that is released in response to the game ball and the safe ball passes through the prize ball guiding gutter 10 and waits in the prize ball case 11, and when the safe ball passes through the safe ball passage, the prize ball B is released. The prize balls are discharged from the case to the prize ball tray 13 through the prize ball discharge path 12. The prize balls B stored in the prize ball tray are led to the ball exchange device 17 through a guideway, and while passing through this, the feeding device 18 is actuated to move the game balls A to the starting end of the firing band 8. While the feeding operation is performed, it is discharged to the outside of the machine through the discharge passage 41.
Therefore, this prize ball B, other than the reserve ball for the FAR ball, only has the status of a prize ball for the player.

For this reason, in the present invention, the game balls stored in the game ball storage chamber and used in the game do not come into contact with the players' hands, so that the balls are not soiled, and the game section is also soiled by the soiled balls. This will greatly reduce the number of balls, helping to maintain a clean state at all times, and since these game balls will be used repeatedly, a small number of balls, such as 20 or 30, will be enclosed in advance. Therefore, its management is much easier than that of conventional pachinko machines. especially,
Since the number of game balls is small in this way, it is easy to make the ball diameters uniform, which helps provide a mechanically fair gaming machine. In addition, since the game balls are enclosed, they do not touch the player's hands, and the path of the game balls is sealed, making it impossible for foreign balls to mix in, thereby reliably preventing fraudulent gaming activities. You will be able to do so.

On the other hand, as mentioned above, the prize balls are used exclusively as prize balls, are not brought into the game club, and do not affect the fairness of the game, so even a slight error in the ball diameter is inconvenient. without causing
This is extremely advantageous in ball management. In particular, since the pachinko balls used in conventional pachinko machines are used both as prize balls and game balls, the ball diameter of all of the tens or hundreds of thousands of balls used in pachinko parlors has to be adjusted accordingly. However, the present invention does not require such strict attention to control the large number of balls used as prize balls, so it is advantageous both in terms of work and economy. be.

Furthermore, in the pachinko game machine according to the present invention, as explained above, the game ball and the prize ball are separate, and although their paths are independent, the game ball flies into the safe ball opening. In this case, the player can receive the prize balls in exactly the same way as in a conventional pachinko game machine, and the player can also receive the prize balls by inserting borrowed balls into the game machine or by using the released prize balls. Since you can play games by shooting game balls that have been replaced with these balls, you can enjoy games that are completely the same as in conventional pachinko gaming machines.

Note that in the above embodiment, the fur ball opening 46 was provided at the joint between the firing band 8 and the guide rail 47, but the fur ball opening 46 is provided at the joint between the firing band 8 and the guide rail 47, for example, as in conventional pachinko gaming machines. A part of the guide rail may be cut out and opened at the upper left corner of the game area surrounded by the game area, and there is no reason why the opening position is limited to a specific location. Of course,
It goes without saying that even if it is opened at an arbitrary position like this, the ball passageway for guiding the ball balls that have entered the ball opening should be connected to the game ball storage chamber 16, and the ball balls should be collected there. That's a good thing.

Although the motor that rotates the rotary wheel 25 that operates the prize ball case 11 has not been described in detail, the motor may be installed as a dedicated motor for the rotary wheel, or the motor 6 installed in the firing device may be used. You may. In particular, in the latter case, since the driving force of the motor 6 is applied to the ball changing device 17 and the Far ball detection rotary wheel 50 via the belts 39 and 55, for example, by hooking the belt to the pulley of the rotary wheel. It is easily available.
