Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Application Field] The present invention relates to a winning device for a pachinko game machine.

[Conventional technology]

The horizontally long grand prize opening provided at the bottom of the pachinko machine's game board is always closed, but when the game meets certain conditions, the entrance door opens and 10 balls enter or
The door closes after 30 seconds, but if a ball enters the center of the jackpot while the door is open, the door will open again. For this purpose, a limit switch S is provided on the back side of the game board 1, which is activated by a ball that enters the central part, and the actuator A of the switch is projected forward as shown in FIGS. The actuator A is moved by the ball to operate the switch.

In addition, a see-through window W made of colored transparent material is provided on the upper part of the inner wall in the center of the grand prize opening, and a miniature light bulb L is provided behind it, and when the switch is activated, the miniature light bulb L is lit. Light viewing window W
It is now designed to allow more forward penetration. This is to inform the player of the winning of a particular prize.

[Problem that the invention attempts to solve]

In the conventional type, as shown in Fig. 8, the limit switch S is installed almost at right angles to the inner wall at the back of the prize opening, and the tip of the actuator A is made to protrude into the winning opening from a hole drilled in the inner wall. It was attached to. However, when the switch S is installed in this way, the rear part of the switch and its mounting member protrudes rearward, and it protrudes further rearward than the rear plate of the ball collecting cover C, which is installed parallel to the game board, so it is necessary to break the rear plate. It didn't happen. Furthermore, it was necessary to provide a see-through window W on the inner wall of the grand prize opening to notify of winnings.

[Means for solving problems]

This invention was devised to solve the above-mentioned problems of the conventional limit switch S.
is provided parallel to the inner wall of the prize opening to reduce rearward protrusion, and the actuator of the switch is
A part of the actuating piece for operating the machine is exposed into the prize opening in front of the hole penetrated through the inner wall. Further, the actuating piece itself is made of a colored transparent material to achieve the same effect as a see-through window, thereby omitting the need for a see-through window.

[Example] An example of the present invention will be described based on the drawings of FIGS. 1 to 6. In the figure, reference numeral 1 denotes a winning device fitted into a game board 2 of a pachinko machine, and a winning opening 3 is formed by opening a part of the front surface of the winning device. Reference numeral 4 denotes a door for opening and closing the opening of the prize opening 3, which is opened and closed by a solenoid (not shown).

Reference numeral 5 denotes an actuating piece made of a colored transparent material such as transparent plastic. A pushing part 6 curved forward is formed at the lower part of the actuating piece 5, and the back surface thereof is an uneven surface. Further, a protrusion 7 for operating the switch is protruded from the upper part of the back surface of the pushing part 6, and a support shaft 8 loosely fitted to the upper part of the operating piece 5 is attached to the winning opening 3.
The actuating piece 5 is supported by a bearing 10 provided on the upper part of the back surface of the inner wall 9 at the back, and the actuating piece 5 is rotatably suspended, and its pushing part 6 is inserted through a square hole 11 opened in the inner wall 9. It is projected forward. Further, reference numeral 12 denotes a balancer that protrudes rearward from the upper part of the actuating piece 5.

In addition, a limit switch S is fixed horizontally on a support 13 provided on the back surface of the inner wall 9, and its actuator A is made almost parallel to the inner wall 9, and the tip of the actuator A is activated. It is in contact with the convex portion 7 of the piece 5. Further, a miniature light bulb L is provided behind the actuating piece 5.

[Effect]

During the game, when a digital device installed on the game board satisfies a specific condition and the door 4 opens and a hit ball enters the opened prize opening 3, and the hit ball B enters the center part, the fourth As shown in the figure, the actuating piece 5 pushes the pushing part 6 and falls, but the actuator A is pushed through the convex part 7 of the pushing part 6, the limit switch S is activated, and the miniature light bulb L is energized. Light. For example, if the operating piece 5 is made of a red transparent material, it will shine in a beautiful red color, and the light will be diffusely reflected by the uneven surface provided on the back surface of the pushing part 6, making it shine even more beautifully.

Further, when the limit switch S is activated, an electric control device (not shown) is activated to reopen the closed door. When the ball B that has activated the limit switch S falls downward, the spring provided in the switch S pushes the pushing part 6 toward the front side via the actuator A, and the actuating piece 5 is moved as shown in FIG. Return to original position. The small light bulb L can also be made to blink.

[Effect of idea]

In the prize-winning device of the present invention, the limit switch is laid down and the actuator is installed so that it is almost parallel to the inner wall at the back of the prize-winning device, so the length of the rearward protrusion is shortened, and the ball-closing cover is You don't have to break it. Furthermore, since the actuating piece itself shines brightly due to the light from the miniature light bulb, it has the effect of arousing interest in the player, and there is no need to provide a see-through window on the inner wall of the prize opening.
