Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Application Field] This invention relates to a device for picking up pachinko balls spilled on the floor of a pachinko game hall.

[Conventional technology]

Conventional pachinko ball picking devices have a magnet attached to the end of a stick, which magnetically attracts scattered pachinko balls (steel balls) by rubbing the floor. However, the operation of removing the attracted pachinko balls one by one from the magnet is extremely complicated and time-consuming.

Conventionally, as a device that made it easy to remove pachinko balls, there was a
There is one proposed by Publication No. 18033.

The proposed pick-up device has a structure in which a cover with a window hole is attached to the tip of a shaft rod, and a disk equipped with a magnet is rotatably attached inside the cover.The disk is rotated to generate a magnet. Pachinko balls are attracted and scraped off by exposing or shading them through the window hole of the cover.

However, with the above structure, the disc needs to be rotatably incorporated into the cover with a small gap in order to prevent pachinko balls from getting caught between the disc and the cover. This requires precision, takes time to assemble, and has the disadvantage that the cover is large and bulky.

In addition, if the attraction force of the magnet is increased in order to reliably attract pachinko balls, the force required to scrape off the pachinko balls will also increase, but with the structure that rotates the disk as described above, It is difficult to obtain sufficient strength against large scraping forces, and if the rigidity is increased by increasing the thickness of the cover or the diameter of the rotating shaft, there is a drawback that the weight increases.

The purpose of this invention is to solve the above-mentioned problems and provide a pachinko ball pick-up tool that has a simple structure and has high precision and sufficient strength against large scraping forces.

[Means to solve the problem]

In order to solve the above problems, this idea
Both ends of a round rod-shaped magnet perpendicular to the shaft are fixed to a non-magnetic support plate attached to the tip of the shaft, and a pachinko ball scraping plate made of non-magnetic material is attached to this magnet. The scraping plate piece is provided with an arc-shaped guide surface that slides on the circumferential surface of the magnet, and the scraping plate piece is attached to the shaft rod side. The magnet is exposed between the scraping plate piece and the support plate when the plate is swung toward the support plate, and the magnet is hidden between the scraping plate piece and the support plate when the plate is swung toward the support plate. One end of the steel wire attached to the shaft rod is connected to the scraping plate piece, and the other end of the steel wire is connected to an actuating piece attached to the shaft rod that is slidable in the axial direction. .

[Effect]

An operating piece provided on the shaft is operated to swing the scraping plate piece, exposing the magnet and attracting pachinko balls scattered on the floor etc.

To scrape off pachinko balls, operate the operating piece in the opposite direction to cover the magnet between the scraping plate piece and the support plate.
As a result, the scraping plate piece sliding on the circumferential surface of the magnet scrapes off the pachinko balls.

In the above structure, the scraping plate piece is connected to the magnet through the hole that fits into the magnet and the arc-shaped guide surface, so it slides in close contact with the circumferential surface of the magnet. It is possible to obtain great strength against.

〔Example〕

In FIGS. 1 and 2, 1 is a shaft of the pachinko ball picking device, and 2 is a handle at the rear end of the shaft 1.

A horizontally long support plate 3 made of a non-magnetic material is fixed to the tip of the shaft rod 1 with screws 4, and both ends of this support plate stand up on one side as shown in FIG. A recess 6 for fitting the end of the magnet is formed on the opposing inner surfaces of both magnet supporting parts.

7 is a round bar-shaped magnet that is fitted and supported by the magnet support portion 5 .

Reference numeral 8 denotes a pachinko ball scraping plate piece made of a non-magnetic material that swings toward the support plate 3 while holding the magnet 6 in between.
is fitted onto the circumferential surface of the magnet 7 and is supported so as to rotate around the magnet 7.

A guide surface 14 is formed on the inner surface of the scraping plate piece 8, which slides in close contact with the circumferential surface of the magnet 7 when attached to the magnet 7, and the scraping plate piece 8 rotates in close contact with the magnet 7. It's becoming like that. When the scraping plate piece 8 swings toward the shaft 1 as shown in FIG. 1, the magnet 7 is exposed, and when it swings toward the support plate 3, it covers the magnet between it and the support plate.

A cable conduit 10 is attached to the shaft rod 1, one end of a thin steel wire (piano wire, etc.) 11 inserted into the cable conduit is connected to the plate piece 8, and the other end of the steel wire is connected to the plate piece 8. It is connected to an actuating piece 12 that fits into the grip handle 2 and moves back and forth toward the shaft 1.

In the above embodiment, when the actuating piece 12 is retracted toward the shaft 1, the circumferential surface of the magnet 7 is exposed and the pachinko ball is attached to the magnet, as shown in FIGS. 1, 2, and 5. 13, and conversely, when the operating piece 12 is moved forward, the plate piece 8 stands up as shown by the chain line in FIG. 5, covers the magnet, and scrapes off the pachinko balls that the magnet has attracted.

〔effect〕

As described above, the pachinko ball picking device of this invention can attract pachinko balls to the magnet and remove pachinko balls that have been attracted by the magnet by operating the actuating piece of the shaft rod and swinging the scraping plate piece. Since the balls can be scraped off, the work of picking up pachinko balls scattered on the floor becomes highly efficient, and the operation of the pachinko ball pick-up tool can be done with only one hand, which is easy and does not cause fatigue. .

In addition, since the scraping plate piece is made to swing in close contact with the circumferential surface of the magnet through the fitting of the holes and the arc-shaped guide surface, the scraping plate piece and the magnet can be firmly connected with high precision. , sufficient strength can be obtained with a simple structure even against large scraping forces.
