Description

[Detailed explanation of the idea] (Industrial application field) This invention relates to pachinko machines.

(Prior Art) As shown in FIG. 3, a conventional pachinko machine is known in which elastic bodies 21 and 22 are provided on the upper left and right sides of a guide rail 20 for pachinko balls. issue).

This ball is fired from the ball launcher 23, reflected by the elastic body 21, and returned along the guide rail 20. The elastic body 22 prevents the pachinko balls from returning to the ball launcher 23. ing.

However, sometimes even if the pachinko balls are launched onto the game board surface 24, some of them may reflect off the guide nails 25 arranged in large numbers on the game board surface 24 and return toward the ball firing device 23. However, the above-mentioned pachinko machine had a drawback in that it was not possible to prevent this.

(Problem that the invention aims to solve) This invention solves the problem that the pachinko balls that are ejected from the ball launcher and guided toward the game board surface along the guide rail reflect off the guide nails etc. on the game board surface. We are trying to provide a pachinko machine that can prevent the game from being returned to the firing device.

(Means for Solving the Problems) This invention was devised by focusing on the above-mentioned problems, and includes a guide rail for guiding the pachinko balls being launched to the top of the game board surface. In the pachinko machine equipped with the above-mentioned pachinko machine, the guide rail is provided with a stepped portion in the vicinity where the pachinko balls fired at an appropriate strength leave the guiding rail, and the pachinko balls are prevented from returning due to strong bounce, and the pachinko balls are placed opposite the stepped portion. The game board is provided with detent nails to prevent a loose bouncing ball from returning so as to be spaced apart enough to allow the ball to pass through.

(Function) Therefore, in the pachinko machine of this invention, even if the pachinko balls reflect off the guide nails etc. on the game board surface and try to return to the ball launcher side, the strong rebound balls will bounce off the step on the guide rail. Furthermore, loosely bouncing balls will hit the detent nail and will not be returned to the ball launcher.

(Example) This invention will be described in detail below according to an example shown in the drawings.

Now, in the pachinko machine of the embodiment shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, a game board surface 2 is provided at the upper front of the machine base 1 as shown in FIG. 4 and an operating knob 5a are provided. A guide rail 6 is provided on the game board surface 2 to guide pachinko balls B fired from the ball firing device 5 to the top of the game board surface 2. A large number of guide nails 7 and rotary guide bodies 8 are arranged on the game board surface 2 to guide the pachinko balls B toward a prize ball opening (not shown) or the like.

As shown in FIG. 1, a stepped portion 9 is cut out in the upper part of the guide rail 6 in the vicinity where the pachinko balls B fired at an appropriate strength leave the game board surface 2.
The pachinko ball B that is reflected by the upper guide nail 7, etc. and is about to be strongly returned to the ball firing device 5 side hits the stepped portion 9, and the pachinko ball B is reflected back to the game board surface 2 side. . A detent nail 10 is placed on the game board surface 2 so as to face the stepped portion 9 and to be positioned at a distance that allows the pachinko ball B to pass through.
is provided, and similarly to the stepped portion 9, the pachinko ball B that is about to be returned loosely from the top of the game board surface 2 to the ball firing device 5 side hits this nail 10, and the pachinko ball B is reflected back toward the game board surface 2 side. It's becoming like that.

Step portion 9 on guide rail 6 and detent nail 1
The reason why the pachinko balls B are provided at opposite positions with an interval that allows the pachinko balls B to pass through is that the pachinko balls B pass above the detent nail 10 and the ball launcher 5
This is because it is the best position to prevent it from being thrown back to the side. In other words, if the position of the stepped portion 9 and the detent nail 10 is too far apart, the detent nail 10
This is because it becomes impossible to prevent the pachinko ball B from returning to the ball firing device 5 side by passing above the ball.

Note that a protective device (not shown) made of synthetic resin or the like may be separately attached to the notched step portion 9.

A ball stopper part 11 is formed on the guide rail 6 so as to be located to the right of the step part 9.
If the pachinko ball B fired from the ball firing device 5 is too strong, the pachinko ball B comes into contact with the ball stopper part 11 and is guided toward the game board surface 2 side.

Now, in this pachinko machine, the ball launcher 5
Pachinko balls B fired from the player are guided along the guide rail 6 toward the game board surface 2 side. and,
Even if a pachinko ball B is reflected by the guide nails 7 on the game board surface 2 and is about to be returned to the ball firing device 5, as shown by the arrow in FIG. In the case of a rebound, the ball hits the step 9 on the guide rail 6, and in the case of a gentle rebound, it hits the detent nail 10, and is reflected and guided back toward the game board surface 2. Therefore, the pachinko balls B are rarely returned from the game board surface 2 toward the ball firing device 5.

Further, if the pachinko ball B fired from the ball firing device 5 is too strong, the pachinko ball B hits the ball stopper part 11 on the guide rail 6 as shown by the arrow in FIG. be forcibly guided to Therefore, even if the firing force is too strong,
Pachinko balls B are reliably guided to the game board surface 2.

(Effects of the invention) As detailed above, this invention provides a pachinko machine equipped with a guide rail for guiding the ejected pachinko ball to the top of the game board surface. The game board is provided with a stepped portion near the part where the pachinko ball leaves the guide rail to prevent the ball from returning after a strong bounce, and is positioned opposite to the stepped portion at a distance sufficient to allow the pachinko ball to pass through. By installing a detent nail to prevent a loose bouncing ball from returning, the pachinko ball that is fired from the ball launcher and guided toward the game board surface along the guide rail can be guided by the guide nail on the game board surface. Strongly bouncing balls are prevented from being reflected back to the ball launcher by a step on the guide rail, and loosely bouncing balls are prevented by a detent nail.
This can be reliably prevented and pachinko games can be played smoothly.

Further, when the stepped portion is formed by cutting the guide rail, the structure is extremely simple, easy to manufacture, and inexpensive.
