Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] (Industrial Application Field) The present invention relates to a pachinko machine attachment that is attached to a pachinko machine.

(Prior Art) Conventionally, a game board of a pachinko machine is provided with a winning device called a center accessory. The prize entry device is equipped with a large number of light emitters so that the blinking changes in order to enhance the visual enjoyment of the player when winning a prize.

(Problems to be Solved by the Invention) However, since the above-mentioned prize entry device is provided with a large number of light emitting bodies, the wiring on the back side of the game board of the pachinko machine has become very complicated. Furthermore, in order to vary the blinking of the numerous light emitting bodies provided in the prize entry device, an electronic circuit board must be incorporated, resulting in increased costs.

The present invention was developed in view of these circumstances, and it is a change that does not complicate the wiring on the back of the game board of a pachinko machine, is low cost, and can change the blinking with a small number of light emitters. The present invention aims to solve the above problems by providing a variety of attachments.

(Means for Solving the Problems) That is, the attachment according to the present invention is characterized in that the inner shape is formed into a truncated polygonal pyramid, and a reflector and a light emitter are provided inside the pyramid.

Note that the truncated polygonal pyramid described in the claims for utility model registration also includes a polygonal prism.

(Function of the invention) As described above, the attachment according to the invention has a structure in which the inner shape is formed into a truncated polygonal pyramid and the reflector and the light emitter are provided inside the structure. Due to the effect of light being reflected, even if there are only a few light emitters, many light emitters are present on the entire surface of the reflector, making it appear as if they are blinking.

(Example) Hereinafter, an example will be described with reference to the drawings. However, the materials, dimensions, etc. of the components described in the examples are merely illustrative examples and are not intended to limit the scope of this invention, unless otherwise specified.

As shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, the attachment 10 shown in this embodiment has an inner shape of a truncated triangular pyramid with an opening 3 at the bottom, and four reflectors 1a, 1b inside. , 1c, 1d, and several light emitters 2a, 2b, 2c, 2 provided on the inner upper surface of the truncated triangular pyramid.
d, 2e, and 2f (for example, six in this embodiment). In this embodiment, the inner shape is a truncated triangular pyramid, but in the present invention, any truncated polygonal pyramid such as a triangular prism, square pyramid, or quadrangular prism may be used, and an opening may be provided on the top surface. Furthermore, in this embodiment, all of the elements constituting the truncated polygonal pyramid forming the inner shape are the reflectors 1a, 1b, 1c, and 1d, but in the present invention, a part of the truncated polygonal pyramid (for example, The reflector 1d) may not be a reflector. As in this embodiment, the truncated triangular pyramid forming the inner shape is entirely composed of the reflector 1, and the light emitters 2a, 2b, 2c, 2d, 2e, 2 arranged inside the reflector 1
In addition to a structure in which light is repeatedly reflected when light emitted by f, in the present invention, any structure may be used as long as one light emitter 2 looks as if a plurality of light emitters exist by the reflector 1. Note that repeating reflection here means that the light emitting bodies 2a, 2b, 2c, 2d,
When 2c, 2d, 2e, and 2f emit light, the light is reflected by a certain reflector (for example, reflector 1a), the reflected light is reflected by another reflector (for example, reflector 1b), and then the reflected light is reflected by another reflector (for example, reflector 1b). After being reflected by another reflector (for example, reflector 1c), first the light emitters 2a, 2
This means that the reflected light returns to the reflector (in this example, the reflector 1a) that reflected the light from the lights b, 2c, 2d, 2e, and 2f while changing its reflection position. or,
The number of light emitters 2a, 2b, 2c, 2d, 2e, and 2f and their positions are not particularly limited, and are shown in FIGS. 1 to 3 and 5 to 9. In the embodiment, six light emitters 2a, 2b, 2c, 2d, 2e, and 2f are arranged inside the surface of the reflector 1d, but in the present invention, a truncated polygonal pyramid forming the inner shape is used. You can place any number of them anywhere as long as they are inside. Figure 4 shows a light emitter 2 on the reflector 1b surface.
This is an attachment 10a showing an example in which the following is provided.
However, as for the number of light emitters 2 to be disposed, there is no need to increase the number of light emitters 2 because the fixture 10 according to the present invention has a structure in which one light emitter 2 looks like many light emitters 2 are present. Also, the luminous body 2
Rather than simply increasing the number of lights, it is effective to arrange a large number of lights that emit light of different colors, as this allows the fixture 10 to have a wide variety of variations.

Next, an example in which this attachment 10 is actually attached to the winning device 20 will be described.

As shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, the attachment 10 is embedded approximately in the center of the winning device 20 so that the opening 3 faces the front so as not to interfere with the operation of the movable piece 21. The position where it is embedded is not limited to approximately the center of the winning device 20, but may be embedded anywhere as long as it does not interfere with the operation of the movable piece 21 or the wiring on the back side. Moreover, although it is a method of fixing the attachment 10 to the winning device 20,
It does not matter whether it is fixed with screws, adhesive, or any other method.

The light emitters 2a, 2b,
Assume that one of the light emitters 2c, 2d, 2e, and 2f (for example, the light emitter 2a) is lit. Then,
Due to the reflective action of the reflectors 1a, 1b, 1c, and 1d, the player sees that the reflectors 1a, 1b, 1c, and 1 even though only one light emitter 2a is actually lit.
It appears as if a light-emitting body of the same color as the light-emitting body 2a exists and is lit all over the inside of the light-emitting body 2a.
Also, due to this effect, the image appears to the player as if it were deeper than it actually is.

FIGS. 7 and 8 show an attachment 10b in which a winning passage 4 is provided in a reflector 1b so that a ball can roll into a winning opening 5 provided in a reflector 1d. If this attachment 10b is attached to the winning device 20, the ball that passes through the winning path 4 will be reflected by the reflectors 1a, 1b, 1c, and 1d, making it appear that there are multiple balls, and the balls will be sucked into the winning hole 5. It is full of variety in people's eyes.

Figure 9 shows how the attachment 10c is connected to the pachinko machine game board 3.
This is an example where it is attached to the winning hole 31 of 0. in this case,
The reflector 1b constituting the attachment 10c is provided with a hole 6 into which a batted ball wins, and a winning ball gutter (not shown) is installed on the back side of this hole 6.

As described above, regarding the attachment 10c attached to the winning device 20 and the winning opening 31, the shape of the attachment 10c, the number of reflectors 1, the number of light emitters 2, the winning opening 31, etc.
There are no particular limitations on the method of attachment.

In this example, all the inner shapes are truncated triangular pyramids, and the outer shapes are also truncated triangular pyramids, but in the present invention, if the inner shape is a truncated triangular pyramid, the outer shape is is not particularly limited.

(Effect of the invention) As described above, the attachment according to the present invention has a structure in which the inner shape is formed into a truncated polygonal pyramid and the reflector and the light emitting body are provided inside the pyramid, so that due to the reflection action of the reflector,
Even with a small number of light emitters, it appears that the light emitters are present on the entire surface of the reflector, making it possible to create a pachinko machine with a wide variety of variations. Therefore, the wiring on the back side of the pachinko machine game board is not complicated, and costs can be reduced. Moreover, as shown in this example,
By using the back of the attachment as a reflector, the attachment appears to have more depth than it actually does.

The attachment according to the present invention may be used in various parts of a pachinko machine, such as being installed behind a windmill device, in addition to being used in the winning device and the winning hole shown in the embodiment.
