Description

[Detailed explanation of the invention] This invention has a large chuck car installed on the front side of the mounting plate, with the ball socket divided into left and right sides by a partition wall.
A movable piece that can stand up and tilt freely is pivotally attached to each of the ball sockets, and the movable pieces are made to alternately stand up and tilt by the ball that enters the respective ball sockets, and
When these movable pieces are tilted, a ball that falls onto one movable piece can be caused to enter the other ball socket depending on the state of the fall, and the other movable piece is raised up by the hit ball. Or, it relates to a winning ball device for a pachinko machine that causes tilting, and its purpose is to make it possible to vary the upright and tilting movements of the left and right movable pieces in a variety of ways depending on the falling state of the ball. To provide a new winning ball device for a pachinko machine that can significantly enhance the interest of the game.

An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. Reference numeral 1 denotes a horizontally long mounting plate that is attached to the game board surface of a pachinko machine. Vertically long ball inlets 2a, 2b are formed on both left and right sides of the central portion of the mounting plate 1, and a chucker 3 is attached to the front surface thereof. Chat car 3 is formed to be about twice as large horizontally as a normal chat car,
A partition wall 4 is provided protruding from the center of the inner side, and ball sockets 5a and 5b are formed on both sides to communicate with the lower edges of the ball inlets 2a and 2b, respectively. Reference numerals 6a and 6b denote movable pieces that are pivoted downward from the center at outer positions within the ball sockets 5a and 5b, respectively, by shafts 7 and 7, and these movable pieces 6a and 6b are in the same position as the upright position shown by the solid line in Fig. 2. It is designed to be able to rotate to a tilting position shown by a chain line, and the distance from the partition wall 4 is selected so that a ball can pass through both when standing up and when tilting. The top of the partition wall 4 is formed into an acute angle so that the balls falling into the center of the chucker 3 can be reliably distributed and guided to either of the ball sockets 5a, 5b, and a tilted movable piece is formed on the top of the partition wall 4. The height is set so that a ball falling onto the shafts 6a and 6b can pass over the top thereof (approximately 1 mm above the shafts 7 and 7).

8a and 8b are box frames fixed to the back side of the mounting plate 1, covering the rear portions of the respective ball inlets 2a and 2b;
Horizontal shafts 9, 9 located inside the box frames 8a, 8b, respectively
Operating members 10a and 10b for seesaw operation are pivotally supported. The actuating members 10a, 10b have weights 11, 11 installed at the front end of the shaft, and are integrally provided with ball receiving pieces 12, 12 that face the inside of the ball sockets 5a, 5b from the respective ball inlets 2a, 2b. When the movable pieces 6a and 6b are upright, their heavy front ends intervene below the shafts 7 and 7 to maintain their upright position, as shown by the solid line in FIG. It is designed to flip up to release the engagement with the movable pieces 6a, 6b and tilt the movable pieces 6a, 6b. still,
In the figure, 13a and 13b are outflow openings formed on the outer walls of the box frames 8a and 8b, and 14 and 14 are operating members 10.
A magnet provided on the lower surface of the rear end of a, 10b, 15,
Reference numeral 15 denotes a magnetic rod that attracts the magnets 14, 14 and holds the actuating members 10a, 10b in that position when their rear ends are lowered.

Next, the operation of the present invention will be explained. In Fig. 2, when the left and right movable pieces 6a and 6b are standing up as shown by the solid lines, when a ball B enters one of the ball sockets 5a, it flows backward from the ball entrance 2a over the operating member 10a. Due to the weight of the ball, the operating member 10a lowers its rear end and flips up its front end as shown by the chain line in FIG. 4 to disengage from the movable piece 6a. Therefore, the movable piece 6a tilts as shown by the chain line in FIG. 2 and opens to facilitate the entry of the next ball. In addition, when the hit ball B enters the other ball socket 5b in FIG. 2, the movable piece 5b is tilted in the same manner.

In this state, when the ball B ₁ falls onto the tilted movable piece 6a and enters the ball socket 5a while raising the movable piece 6a, it rides on the ball socket 12 and uses its weight to push the actuating member 10a. The movable piece 6a is rotated downward, and its front end is inserted below the shaft 7 of the movable piece 6a to hold it again in the upright position shown by the solid line in FIG. Furthermore, the hit ball _B1 falls onto the other tilted movable piece 6b and hits the ball socket 5.
When entering b, the movable piece 6B is held upright by the same action.

In this way, when a hit ball enters the ball sockets 5a, 5b, the movable pieces 6a, 6b of the ball sockets 5a, 5b into which the hit ball entered are raised or tilted. Therefore, depending on how the ball is hit, only the movable pieces 6a and 6b can be repeatedly raised and tilted, or both the left and right movable pieces 6a and 6b can be tilted to a wide spread state. Various changes are possible.

Particularly, one of the noteworthy features of the present invention, which is not found in conventional winning ball devices, is that when one movable piece 6a is tilted and the other movable piece 6b is erected, as shown in FIG. The tilted movable piece 6
The ball B ₂ that fell onto the ball a does not enter the ball socket 5a, but jumps over the partition wall 4 of the chuck car 3 and enters the other ball socket 5b, tilting the standing movable piece 6b as shown by the chain line in the figure. This allows both movable pieces 5a and 5b to tilt to a wide spread state. In other words, when one of the left and right movable pieces 6a, 6b is tilted and the other is upright, the upright movable piece is used to strike the ball directly into the ball socket from above and the partition wall 4 from the other ball socket. It is possible to cause a tilting motion on both sides of the ball that jumps and enters. This not only makes the opening and closing operations of the movable pieces 6a and 6b more coincidental and makes the game more interesting, but also makes it possible to prevent the ball from falling onto the movable piece, which is normally tilted. In contrast, in this invention, depending on the falling state of the hit ball, it not only continues to maintain its tilted state, but also tilts the other movable piece that is upright. This can give players a great advantage and improve the service.

As described above, the winning ball device according to the present invention repeatedly raises and tilts only one of the left and right movable pieces, or tilts both the left and right movable pieces, depending on the falling state of the ball. The expansion state is much wider than usual, and the game is extremely varied, further increasing the player's interest.

Furthermore, when one movable piece is upright and the other movable piece is in a tilted state, depending on the state of the ball that falls onto the tilted movable piece, the tilted movable piece may be raised to reduce the chances of winning a prize. Or, the standing and tilting operations of the left and right movable pieces can be changed in a wide variety of ways, such as not only maintaining that tilted state but also tilting the other upright movable piece to greatly increase the probability of winning. The game can be made even more interesting.
