Description

[Detailed description of the invention] [Field of industrial application] The present invention is a safe ball socket in which a pair of opening/closing blades are pivotally supported on the front surface of the mounting plate so that they can freely rise and tilt. This invention relates to a safe ball socket for a pachinko machine that is illuminated with a lamp to enhance the decorative effect.

[Prior Art] Conventionally, a safe ball socket device in which the mounting plate is illuminated with a lamp is known from Utility Model Application Publication No. 59-85277, etc., but these are similar to those in which the lamp is directly attached to the back of the mounting plate. They are simply placed in opposition to each other.

[Problems to be solved by the invention] For this reason, if the safe ball receiver receives a shock due to a collision with a ball, there is a risk that the lamp will be damaged, and the part of the mounting plate that the lamp corresponds to may be damaged. It has the disadvantage that it must be formed separately from a transparent member, which requires time and effort to manufacture.

[Means for solving the problem] In view of the above, the present invention forms a transparent window in the upper part of the mounting plate to which the opening/closing wing piece is attached, and a transparent window is formed on the back side of the mounting plate at a position corresponding to the transparent window. A lamp cover made of colored transparent synthetic resin and housing a lamp inside was attached, and the lamp cover was exposed from the transparent window to the front of the mounting plate.

[Function] When the lamp is lit, the light passes through the lamp cover and the light of the color of the lamp cover is emitted to the outside of the front through the transparent window of the mounting plate. This can enhance the decorative effect and at the same time prevent damage to the lamp.

[Embodiment] An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. In the figure, 1 is a mounting plate with a ball inlet 2 in the center, and 3, 3 is a mounting plate with shafts 4, 4 on both sides of the front side of the ball inlet 2, with a parallel stand shown by the solid line in Fig. 3 and an inverted figure-eight shape shown by the chain line in the same figure. A pair of opening/closing blades are pivotally supported for free tilting, 5 is a chucker fixed to the mounting plate 1 covering the lower part of the opening/closing blades 3, 3 from the shafts 4, 4, and 6 is provided on the back side of the mounting plate 1. Shows the box frame. A cam wheel 7 is rotatably supported inside the box frame 6 by a horizontal shaft 8. In this embodiment, the cam wheel 7 has three ball contact pieces 9 protruding from the center at approximately equal angles in the radial direction, and an engagement wall 10 is provided at one location between both ends of each of the ball contact pieces 9, 9. The engagement wall 10 intervenes between the opening and closing blades 3 to maintain its upright position, and also enters between the opening and closing blades 3 and flows out from the bottom of the chucker 5 to the ball inlet 2. The cam wheel 7 rotates due to the contact of the balls, and when the portion without the engagement wall 10 intervenes between the opening and closing blades 3, 3, it causes its tilting. That is, the opening and closing wing pieces 3, 3 are closed,
The three operations of open and open operate as one cycle. 1
1 is a steel ball sealed inside the box frame 6, and the steel ball 11
By applying this weight to one ball contact piece 9, the cam wheel 7 is prevented from moving inadvertently and stopped at the correct stopping angle.

However, in the present invention, the ball inlet 2 of the mounting plate 1 is
Transparent window 12 that is horizontally longer in the upper part
to be drilled. Incidentally, the shape of the transparent window 12 can be arbitrarily selected, and it is preferable to form it into an appropriate pattern shape in order to enhance the decorative effect. On the other hand, a hollow box-shaped lamp cover 13 with an open rear surface is separately formed from a colored transparent synthetic resin colored in an appropriate color (red in this embodiment), and the lamp cover 13 is mounted in a manner corresponding to the transparent window 12. The front surface of the board 1 is brought into close contact with the back surface of the board 1 and fixed to the top surface of the box frame 6 by means of adhesive or the like. As a result, the front surface of the lamp cover 13 is connected to the transparent window 12.
from the front of the mounting plate 1.

Reference numerals 14 and 14 are lamp boards, and lamps 15 and 15 are respectively attached to the front surface. The lamp boards 14, 14 are fixed to the lower edge of the rear end of the lamp cover 13 by screws 16, 16, so that the lamps 15, 15 are housed in the hollow interior of the lamp cover 13. Others 17 in the figure is lamp board 1
Lead wires 4 and 14 are connected to each other, and 18 is a metal fitting for holding the lead wire 17.

In the safe ball socket of the present invention constructed as described above, the lamps 15, 15 illuminate the hollow interior of the lamp cover 13 as the lamps 15, 15 are turned on. The light from the lamps 15, 15 passes through the lamp cover 13 and emits red light from the transparent window 12 to the front of the mounting plate 1, creating a beautiful atmosphere.

[Effects of the invention] As explained in the embodiments above, the safe ball socket of the invention is such that the mounting plate 1 is illuminated with lamps 15, 15, and by attaching this to the game board surface. This can create a glamorous atmosphere for the players. Furthermore, in the present invention, the lamp cover 13 is used to illuminate the mounting plate 1, so the structure is simple and easy to manufacture.
It is completely protected and there is no risk of damage, making it extremely safe.
