Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] <Industrial Application Field> This invention forms a ball receiving part on a base attached to the surface of a game board, and by tilting a movable wing piece pivotally connected to the receiving part, a ball can be received by a player. The present invention relates to a winning device for a pachinko machine that can convert between a first state that is disadvantageous and a second state that is advantageous to the player.

<Prior art> Many pachinko machine winning devices have been known that change the state between a state in which it is difficult for a ball to enter and a state in which it is easy to enter. A guide frame is provided on the back side of the board, and a guide rod is swingably pivoted within the guide frame, and the guide rod is used as a lever by the weight of the winning ball resting on the guide rod. The thing that opens and closes the pair of movable blades is called a tulip.

Furthermore, a winning device that can be converted into a first state in which it is difficult for a ball to hit the ball and a second state in which it is easy to hit the ball using an electric drive source such as a solenoid has been known as a so-called variable winning device.

<Problems to be Solved by the Invention> However, in the conventional award winning device described above, a pair of movable wings simply open and close on the front surface of the board attached to the surface of the game board, and the upper end opening angle of the pair of movable wings is It was an outdated structure in which the winning rate of a batted ball was changed by setting the length of the movable wing in advance, and the receiving state of the batted ball only changed depending on the size of the movable wing. Therefore, each movable wing piece itself only changes its rotational position, and there is no change in shape at all and there are no surprises, and the winning device is currently becoming boring to players. There is a demand for a winning device with a new configuration.

<Means for Solving the Problems> The present invention has been proposed in view of the above, and includes at least a lower receiving portion 5 provided on the surface of the board 1 to be attached to the game board, and pivotably mounted on the left and right sides of the lower receiving portion. Each movable wing piece 8
is composed of a first wing 11 and a second wing 13 pivotally attached to the first wing, and the substrate and each second wing are mutually engaged to change the state of the movable wing. A guide mechanism 17 is provided for regulating the engagement of each of the second wing pieces (for example, the guide pin 18,
When the guide member 18') faces the first position of the guide mechanism, the bent movable wing pieces become upright, which is disadvantageous to the player, and the first wing pieces rotate laterally. The engaging portions of the movable second wings each face the second position of the guide mechanism, so that the second wings extend in the lateral direction, and the movable wings are brought into a second state advantageous to the player. It was designed to be converted into .

<Function> A pair of movable wing pieces are pivotally mounted on the left and right sides of a lower receiving part provided on the surface of the substrate, and each movable wing piece is composed of a first wing piece and a second wing piece that are pivoted to each other, The guide mechanism allows the movable wings to be bent at the midway pivoted part, and the bent and reduced movable wing pieces are in the first state disadvantageous to the player, and each first wing piece opens outward. As a result, the second wing pieces also extend outward, converting them into a second state advantageous to the player. Therefore, the length of the pair of left and right movable wing pieces is approximately twice as long in the second state as in the first state, and the player is given surprise in the dynamic changes of the movable wing pieces themselves. , the player's desire to play the game by hitting the ball to win a prize is increased.

<Example> Hereinafter, the present invention will be explained with reference to the embodiments shown in the drawings. Reference numeral 1 denotes a board to be attached to the surface of the game board of a pachinko machine. Through holes 2 and 3 are provided above and below through which a batted ball can pass. , 3 are provided with an upper receiving part 4 located in front of the upper through hole 2 and a lower receiving part 5 located in front of the lower through hole 3. The above-mentioned upper receiving part 4 and lower receiving part 5 have a pocket frame shape with an open upper surface, and locking holes 6, 6 are provided below the left and right sides of the upper receiving part 4. Note that a ball cannot pass through these locking holes 6, 6.

A movable wing piece 8 is pivotally attached to the left and right sides of the lower receiving part 5 by a shaft 7. This movable wing piece 8 has a fan-shaped front part 9 and a side face part 10 formed rearward on one side of the fan-shaped front part 9, and a first wing part 11 which is pivotally attached to the shaft 7. The shaft 12 is placed above the wing piece 11.
It has a second wing piece 13 which is pivoted by. According to the first embodiment shown in FIGS. 1 to 4, this second wing piece 13 is an arm piece 1 extending laterally from the shaft 12.
The first wing piece 11 is provided with an upward claw part 15 at the tip of the arm piece 14, and a receiving piece 16 extending obliquely downward from the base end of the arm piece 14.
and the second wing piece 13 can freely rotate individually. The substrate 1 and each movable wing piece 8 are
Guide mechanism 17 that regulates the swinging state of each movable wing piece 8
will be established. The guide mechanism 17 includes, for example, a guide pin 18 as an engaging portion protruding backward from the lower rear surface of the second wing piece 13, and a guide hole 19 provided in the base plate 1 for receiving and guiding the guide pin 18. The guide hole 19 is composed of an inclined portion 20 that slopes downward toward the lower through hole 3, and a horizontal portion 21 that extends substantially horizontally from the upper end of the inclined portion 20. In addition, the board 1 has left and right guide holes 1.
The winning opening 22 is located above the horizontal part 21 of 9.
It would be a good idea to open one.

The winning device of the present invention is constructed as described above, and in the first state which is disadvantageous for the player, such as when it is difficult for the player to hit the ball, each movable wing piece 8 It has a bent upright shape. That is, in this state, the fan-shaped front part 9 is in an upright shape, and the arm piece 14 of the second wing piece 13 enters the inside of the upper receiving part 4 through the locking hole 6 and is locked on the inner surface of the side wall of the upper receiving part 4. and the guide pin 18 of the guide mechanism 17
is the first position of the guide hole 19, that is, the inclined portion 20
It is located at the bottom of the . Therefore, in this state, the left and right sides of the lower receiving part 5 are blocked by the upright movable blades 8, 8, so the ball cannot enter the lower receiving part 5, and only the upper receiving part 4 is blocked. You can enter.

In addition, since the receiving piece 16 of the second wing piece 13 is heavier than the arm piece 14, the claw part 15 does not rotate so as to come off from the locking hole 6.

In the first state described above, when a ball hits the upper receiver 4, the claws 15 of the left and right movable wings 8, 8 are pressed downward by the ball. When the claw portion 15 is pressed, the second wing piece 13 rotates so that the guide pin 18 ascends the inclined portion 20 of the guide hole 19 and the receiving piece 16 flips up using the shaft 12 as a fulcrum, and the second wing piece 13 is engaged. When the guide pin 18 serving as a joint reaches the upper end of the inclined portion 20 which is the second position, the first wing piece 11 is tilted so as to fall down laterally using the shaft 7 as a fulcrum by its own weight or by the bias of a spring. do. Then, due to the above-mentioned tilting of the first blade 11, the second blade 13
In this case, the guide pin 18 is located in the horizontal part 2 of the guide hole 19.
1 and moves laterally, guided by guide pin 18.
When the wing moves to the tip of the horizontal portion 21, which is the second position, the movement of the first wing 11 and the second wing 13 stops. In this state, as shown in the right half of FIG. 1, each first wing 11 of the left and right movable wing 8 rotates laterally, and the second wing 13 extends laterally.
Therefore, the ball is received by the side surface 10 of each first wing 11 and can also be placed on the receiving piece 16 of the second wing 13, which is advantageous for the player, such as the ball being extremely easy to hit. It is in two states. In this second state, when a hit ball lands on the receiving piece 16 of the second wing piece 13, this hit ball only enters the winning hole 22,
The winning device never returns to the first state. but,
When a batted ball enters between the opposing side surfaces 10, 10 of both first wing pieces 11 from diagonally above, both first wing pieces 11 return to an upright position and tilt due to the flow force of the hit ball and their own weight. Due to this return tilting of the first wing 11, the guide pin 18 moves back toward the second wing 13 while being guided by the horizontal portion 21 of the guide hole 19, and the guide pin 18 moves closer to each other due to the weight of the guide pin 18. moves down the inclined portion 20 and stops at the lower end, which is the first position, and the claw portion 15 passes through the locking hole 6 and is locked in the upper receiving portion 4.

Therefore, the winning device changes from the second state to the first state, and the ball passes through the lower through hole 3 and wins.

From the first state of both movable wing pieces 8, 8 described above to the second state
The state or conversion from the second state to the first state is instantaneous.

Other embodiments of the present invention shown in FIGS. 5 to 8 differ in the configuration of the guide mechanism 17 from the embodiments described above. That is, the guide mechanism 17' of this embodiment consists of a plate-shaped guide member 18' as an engaging part provided on the rear surface of the second wing piece 13, and a guide receiver 19' disposed on a shelf on the surface of the base plate 1. , guide receiver 1
9' is provided with an inclined portion 20' and a horizontal portion 21'. The rest of the configuration is the same as the previous example, so
Identical constituent parts are given the same reference numerals and explanations will be omitted.

In this embodiment as well, in the first state, as shown in the left half of FIG.
is locked in the locking hole 6 of the upper receiving part 4 and the second wing piece 13
The guide member 18' is located at the lower end of the inclined portion 20', which is the first position of the guide receiver 19'. Therefore,
The ball hits only the upper receiving part 4. However, when the ball hits the upper receiving portion 4, the claw portion 15 of each movable wing 8 is pressed, and the second wing 13 rotates upward as in the previous embodiment, causing the tip of the guide member 18' to move upward. When the guide member 18' is turned until it faces the upper end of the inclined portion 20' of the guide receiver 19', which is the second position, the first wing 11 tilts laterally, the second wing 13 moves laterally, and the guide member 18'
slides on the horizontal portion 21' and converts into the second state.
When the ball hits the second wing 13 in this second state, the ball flows between the side surfaces 10, 10 of the opposing first wing 11 due to the inclination of the second wing 13,
The flow forces each first wing piece 11 into an upright state and converts it into the first state. In this case, in each second wing piece 13, the guide member 18' is connected to the horizontal portion 21' of the guide receiver 19'.
The first state is maintained because the claw portion 15 is locked in the locking hole 6 of the upper receiving portion 4.

In another embodiment of the present invention shown in FIGS. 9 and 10, a rod 23 extending from the shaft 12 supporting the second wing piece 13 is passed through an arcuate hole b made in the board 1 and the game board a. The rod 23 is made to protrude from the back surface of the board 1 or the game board a, and the rod 23 is reciprocated by an external actuating mechanism (not shown) such as a solenoid, cam, or crank. Since it is the same as the embodiment shown in FIGS. 1 to 4, the same reference numerals are given and the explanation will be omitted.

In this embodiment, as shown in the left half of FIG.
In this state, both movable wing pieces 8, 8 are bent to stand upright, and the rod 23 faces the first position at the upper end of the arcuate hole b. However, with an external actuation mechanism, the rod 23
When the movable blade 8 moves to the second position at the lower end of the arcuate hole b, both the first blade and the second blade 13 move laterally, as shown in the right half of FIG. 9, and the movable blade 8 enters the second state. , when the rod 23 moves back, it returns to the first state. Therefore, since this winning device converts between the first state and the second state by the external operating mechanism, it can be varied if the external operating mechanism is electrically or mechanically related to other winning openings. Become. Incidentally, in this embodiment, the upper receiving part may not be provided.

<Effects of the Invention> In short, according to the present invention, a pair of movable blades are provided on the left and right sides of a lower receiving portion provided on a base plate, and the movable blades are pivoted in the middle to connect the first blade and the second blade. The pair of movable blades can be bent by connecting the two blades and moving the engaging portion of the second blade between the first position and the second position of the guide mechanism provided on the base plate. There is a first state in which the movable wing is bent in the middle of its length and becomes an upright state, and the first wing rotates laterally and the second wing extends, causing a large change in the length of the movable wing. This is a winning device for a pachinko machine that converts to a second state. Therefore, the form of the pair of left and right movable wing pieces can be greatly changed between the first state and the second state, giving novelty and surprise to the player, and also allowing the player to hit a winning ball. It can increase your desire to play. In addition, the manner in which the movable blades are transformed becomes dynamic, and together with the decorative effect, it is possible to significantly increase the interest of the pachinko game.
Furthermore, by combining with an external operating mechanism, the opening operation mode of the pair of movable wings can be set in a variety of ways, resulting in a winning device that can be used in a wide variety of pachinko machines.
