Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Application Field] The present invention relates to a winning ball receiver provided on the game board surface of a pachinko machine.

[Prior Art] As is well known, a winning ball receiver is installed on the game board surface to receive a fired ball and distinguish the received ball from an invalid ball as a winning ball.

Usually, a winning ball receiver has a pocket-shaped ball receiver and a mounting board that fixes it to the surface of the game board. When a ball flies into the ball receiver, it is guided through a path that passes through the game board to a winning ball path behind the game board, and is only used to catch falling balls.

The structure of this winning ball receiver is basic and serves its purpose well in terms of accepting winning balls.
Since this winning ball receiver is installed in a state that protrudes from the game board surface, any ball that does not face the entry hole of the ball receiver may collide with the vicinity of the entry port or the outer periphery of this ball receiver. It often has something to do with hitting the ball.

However, in conventional winning ball holders, the ball holder is simply made by bending a metal plate or molded from plastic material, so the balls only collide with each other without causing any change. Well, it had become something that only encouraged him to fall.

[Problems to be solved by the invention] In view of the actual situation of conventional prize-winning balls, the present invention not only accepts incoming balls and considers them as winning balls, but also includes The purpose is to provide a prize-winning ball player that actively responds to colliding batted balls and bounces them back, and gives various changes to the colliding balls so that a game beyond prediction can be played.

That is, the present invention utilizes the fact that the winning ball receiver, which conventionally only accepted batted balls, is provided protruding from the game board surface to function as an obstacle. The reason is that the ball that collides with the circumferential surface of the ball is irregularly repulsed to give variation.

[Means for solving the problem] The present invention was made based on the above-mentioned purpose, and
Its feature lies in the fact that it surrounds the projectile along the outer periphery of a ball receiver with an entry hole. As a result, when the ball collides with this projectile, it is bounced back and sent in an undefined direction, changing the conditions for other winning balls and the winning device, and also changing the force of the ball. The reason is that we were able to create a falling situation that exceeds expectations by giving changes to the game.

Hereinafter, an embodiment of this invention shown in the drawings will be described, and its features will be explained in detail.

[Embodiment] Figure 1 is a front view showing an embodiment of the present invention, Figure 2 is a partially cutaway side view, and Figure 3 is an enlarged perspective view. Board, 2
3 shows a ball receiving part provided on the front surface of the board, and 3 shows an elastic body made of a leaf spring provided along the outer periphery of this ball receiving part.

The ball receiver 2 is open at the top and provided with an entry hole 4, so that the ball received through the entry hole can be guided to the rear through an opening 5 in the base plate 1. Here, the ball receiver 2 is integrally molded with the base plate from synthetic resin. There is.

The projectile body 3 is bent into a substantially U-shape and surrounds the entire ball receiving portion 2 from both sides to the bottom.
Both ends are bent inward and inserted into a slit 6 provided near the entry hole of the ball receiving part, so that the ball is attached to the ball receiving part at both ends. As shown in the figure, this resilient body is provided apart from the ball receiving portion and can be freely rebound and deflected using the above-mentioned both ends as fulcrums.

This winning ball receiver is attached to the game board surface by passing a nail through a nail hole 7 provided in the mounting board 1, and the ball is placed in the entry hole 4.
When the ball flies into the ball, it is treated as a winning ball and guided to the rear of the game board. The ball that is bounced by the obstacle nails installed on the game board and flies toward the side or bottom of the ball receiver 2 receives a repulsive force by colliding with the projectile body 3 that surrounds it. By adding more force or changing the direction, it will be bounced back and cause a varying falling motion.

Figures 4 and 5 show other embodiments of the winning ball receiver of the present invention, with Figure 4 being an exploded perspective view and Figure 5 being a side view in longitudinal section at the center.

The winning ball receiver in this embodiment is the mounting board 10.
This is a case in which the ball receiver front plate 11 and the elastic body 12 made of a plate spring are used, and the elastic body 12 is also used as the ball receiver.

The mounting board 10 is provided with an opening 13, a nail hole 14, and two slits 15 for fixing the projectile body 12.
and a locking hole 16 for locking the ball receiver front plate 11,
On the other hand, the ball receiving front plate 11 is provided with two slits 17 corresponding to the slits 15, and a locking arm piece 18 that is fixed to the base plate. The bullet body 12 is bent into a U-shape and has locking claws 19 protruding from both ends thereof in the front and rear directions, and the rearwardly protruding locking claws 19 are inserted into the slits of the base plate. 15
After that, the front locking claw 19 is inserted into the slit 17 of the ball receiver front plate, and at the same time, the tip of the locking arm piece 18 of this front plate is inserted into the locking hole 16 of the base plate 10. It is designed so that it can be assembled.

This prize-winning ball receiver uses the projectile body 12 as the ball receiving part and the upper open part as the entry hole 20 by the above-mentioned assembly.
As shown in the figure, only the upper end portion is connected to the base plate and the ball receiving front plate 11, so that it hangs in the air and has an elastic force.

[Effects of the invention] The embodiments illustrating the invention have been described above. According to the invention, as in the above-mentioned configuration, since the projecting body is provided surrounding the ball receiving part, the ball can be bounced off by the obstacle nail. , or if a ball that is bounced by another prize-winning ball receiver, etc. and enters the entry hole, it will be treated as a winning ball, but if it does not enter the entry hole and collides with a projectile on the periphery of the ball receiver. The ball is bounced by this projectile, increases its momentum, and moves in a more varied manner, while the difference in impact force against the projectile creates various repulsion states, resulting in a varied fall. , you can enjoy games that could not be obtained from conventional winning balls.

In particular, conventional prize-winning ball receivers do not have this kind of bounce function, so they have little effect on the ball being hit, but the ball bounces off a nail or the like and hits the ball. Since the ball will be bounced back by the rebound and fly out in an unexpected direction, it will have a great influence on other winning balls and make the game itself more interesting.

Incidentally, in order to make the repulsion force large and variable, it is preferable that the elastic body has a minimum amount of contact with the fixed part such as the mounting board.
