DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a winning device in a pachinko machine, and more specifically, a first state in which a ball hit onto a game surface can be received from an upper receptacle, and an upper and both side receptacle. The present invention relates to a movable winning device that can be changed to a second state in which it can be accepted orally.

Conventional devices of this type include a pair of left and right first boards located below and above a board attached to the game surface, respectively.
A second opening/closing piece is provided, and a first state in which both second opening/closing pieces are pressed and restrained slightly upward when the first opening/closing piece is narrowly closed and erected, and a first state when the first opening/closing piece is opened and tilted. The second opening/closing piece is released and tilts downward due to its own weight.
There was a form that changed to the state of .

However, in such a device, a socket for hitting a ball is only formed between the second opening and closing pieces, and although the socket changes greatly or slightly in the first and second state changes described above, it is difficult to Even in this situation, the only way to receive a ball, in other words, the only way to win a prize was through the socket, and interest in the game was still low.

The present invention has been made in order to solve the problems associated with the conventional device, and its purpose is to provide a prize-winning device that can increase interest in the game by variously changing the prize-winning form of batted balls.

The present invention will be explained below based on illustrated embodiments. In the winning device of this example, which is generally called a center winning device, winning holes 2, 3, and 3 are provided at the center lower part and both sides of the lower part of the board 1 attached to the front surface of the game board G, and the winning holes 2, 3, and 3 are provided on the back side of the board 1. a guide gutter 4 for safe balls communicating with each of the winning holes 2, 3, 3;
5, 5 are formed independently.

On the front surface of the substrate 1, first and second opening/closing pieces 6, 6, 17, 1, which form a pair of left and right openings 6, 6, 17, 1 on the lower and upper sides respectively, serve as members constituting a socket and a passage for hitting a ball.
7 are arranged. The first opening/closing pieces 6, 6 are both tiltably supported by a support pin 7 at the lower end, and have guide parts 8, 8 that can form a socket at the inner upper part, and guide parts 8, 8 which can form a socket at the inner lower part. Guide ports 9, 9 that can communicate with the left and right winning holes 3, 3 are formed. Both opening/closing pieces 66 are in a narrowed and upright state before operation, and the mutual guide portions 8, 8 form a substantially V-shaped socket 10 and communicate with the center winning hole 2. 9, 9 are held in a state where they are not communicated with the winning holes 3, 3. In addition, 11 is each opening/closing piece 6
An operating rod connected to the bottom end. 12 is a long hole for the operating rod 11. 13 is a pin for guiding the tilting of both opening/closing pieces 6; 14 is a long hole for the pin 13. 16
is an outlet formed at the lower front surface of the substrate 1, and is always in communication with the exit passage 15 formed between the lower ends of the opening/closing piece 6.

On the other hand, the second opening/closing pieces 17, 17 are connected to tilting arms 26, 26 of the base plate 1, which will be described later, so that they can move toward each other, and have guide portions 18, 18 that can form sockets 19 inside each other. is formed. Before operation, the opening/closing pieces 17 are held at a large distance from each other, with the socket 19 between the guide parts 18 being expanded and communicating with the opening 10 of the first opening/closing piece 6 . 20 is a long hole.

On the back side of the board 1, there is an electromagnetic solenoid 2 in the center as a member for opening/closing the opening/closing pieces 6, 17 mentioned above.
1 and a pair of left and right tilting arms 2 on both sides.
6 and 26 are arranged. The above solenoid 21
An operating body 23 that can be moved up and down along the guide trough 4 is connected to the lower end of the plunger 22.
1 and 11 and oblique long holes 24 and 24. It is assumed that the solenoid 21 is energized for a predetermined period of time (for example, 3 seconds or 5 seconds) each time a detection switch (not shown) is activated (ON), which is placed at a suitable position on the back of the game board G while the safe ball is flowing. Before operation (OFF), the operating bodies 2 and 3 are lowered to hold both opening/closing pieces 6 in a narrowly closed upright position.

On the other hand, the tilting arms 26, 26 both have their lower ends supported by support pins, and each upper end has the second opening/closing piece 1.
7 and 17 are connected by a pin 28 inserted into an elongated hole 20, and each connecting piece 29, 29 formed on both sides of the lower end is brought into contact with the push-up portions 25, 25 on both sides of the upper end of the operating body 23. When the operating body 23 is in the lowered state, the arm 26 holds the second opening/closing pieces 17, 17 in the expanded state while being urged outward by the spring 30.

In the winning device of this example configured as described above, in the first state shown in FIGS. 1 to 4, the ball is hit exclusively through the wide socket 19 between the expanded second opening and closing pieces 17, 17.
The batted ball received by the player and entered the socket 19 enters the center winning hole 2 while being guided by the guide parts 8, 8 that enter the socket 10 between the narrowly closed first opening/closing pieces 6, 6 and enters the guide gutter 4. The ball is introduced to the back side of the game board G as a safe ball.

When the detection switch is turned on by the safe bulb generated as described above, the electromagnetic solenoid 21 is energized and the plunger 22 and operating body 23 are activated.
is held in place in an upward motion. As the operating body 23 moves upward, both operating rods 11 are pulled up and the first opening/closing piece 6 is pulled up.
is tilted and held in the expanded state, while both tilting arms 26 are tilted inward through the push-up portion 25 and the connecting piece 29 against the spring 30, and the second opening/closing piece 1
7 are moved in opposite directions and held in a narrowly closed state.

As a result, the prize winning device is in the second state shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, that is, the socket 10 of the first opening/closing piece 6 changes, and the guide portions 8, 8 move it to the left and right horizontal sockets 10L, 10R.
The guide holes 9, 9 communicate with the left and right winning holes 3, 3, while the socket 19 between the second opening/closing pieces 17 is reduced in size.

In this second state, the ball can enter from the sockets on three sides as illustrated by the arrows in Figure 5,
First, the hit ball BU from the upper socket 19 enters the center winning hole 2, is received by each guide hole 9, 9, passes through the left and right winning holes 3, 3, and becomes a safe ball. On the other hand, the balls hit from each side socket 10L, 10R BL, BR
The ball enters the center winning hole 2 while being guided by the guide parts 8, 8, is received by the guide holes 9, 9 on the opposite side in the downstream direction, and passes through the left and right winning holes 3, 3. It is considered a safe ball. In addition, each socket 1
Among the balls BU, BL, and BR hit from 9, 10L, and 10R, some balls exit the prize-winning device through the exit 16 from the outlet 15, but such balls may be sent to other winnings located below the device. It may also flow into a container or guide.

When the electromagnetic solenoid 21 is demagnetized due to time-up, the operating body 23 returns to its original lowered position together with the plunger 22, while the tilting arms 26, 26 released from the operating body 23 return to their original expanded position due to the spring 30. Return to open position. As a result, the first and second opening/closing pieces 6, 17 are converted to the first state shown in FIG. 1. Thereafter, the detection switch is turned on by the safe ball and the electromagnetic solenoid 21 is activated, thereby converting to the second state described above, and changing the winning form of the batted ball.

In particular, in this example, the detection switch is used to operate the electromagnetic solenoid 21, so even when a safe ball occurs in another winning device, the winning device itself can change its state as described above.

It should be noted that a part of the winning device may be changed. For example, as for the operating mechanism side, as shown in FIG. Plunger 22 of solenoid 21
The connecting piece 3 of each gear 32 and each tilting arm 26 is engaged with the rack of the operating body 23 connected to the
4 are connected by a chain 35, and both gears 32 are rotated as the operating body 23 moves up and down, while both tilting arms 2
6 may be tilted.

The electromagnetic solenoid 21 can be set to the opposite operating conditions as described above and activated periodically, and the detection switch for the solenoid can be placed corresponding to each guide gutter 4, 5, or can be placed in a position corresponding to another winning prize. It may be placed on the safe bulb passage side of the container. Of course the first and second
The operating members for the opening/closing pieces 6, 17 can also be actuated by mechanical means. Also, there may be only one winning path for safe balls in the center.

In this way, the winning device of the present invention has the first and second opening/closing pieces each pair capable of forming a ball socket on the front surface of the board, and the first and second opening/closing pieces on the back surface of the board. Operating members for opening and closing operations are provided respectively,
The first opening/closing piece is held narrowly closed to communicate its socket with the winning passage, and the second opening/closing piece is held wide open to communicate its socket with the socket of the first opening/closing piece to direct the batted ball to the upper receiving passage. A first state in which it can be accepted from the mouth, a first opening/closing piece being held wide open so that the sockets formed on the left and right sides can communicate with the winning passage, and a second opening/closing piece being held narrowly closed to open the sockets. Since it is configured to be able to communicate with the winning path and convert into a second state in which the ball can be received from the sockets above and on both sides, the winning form of the ball can be varied in a variety of ways to increase interest in the game. can be increased. Furthermore, it is possible to change the probability of winning due to the first and second state conversions described above, and an improvement in the game effect can be expected.
