Description

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

[Conventional technology] The first method that does not accept balls hit on the front left and right sides of the mounting board.
A movable piece capable of converting the state into a second state in which a ball can be received is pivoted, and the movable piece is in the second state.
A winning ball device is provided with a normal winning hole and a special winning hole for winning balls received in the special winning hole, and the second state of the movable piece is continued for a predetermined time or a predetermined number of times by the balls that enter the special winning hole. ,
For example, it is known from Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 58-112571.

[Problems to be solved by the invention] In this conventional device, the movable piece receives the ball falling from above on its upper surface in the second state,
When the movable piece is in the first state, the ball is caused to fall downward and enter either the normal winning hole or the special winning hole. Therefore, the falling positions of the balls are irregular, and the winnings in the special prize openings are purely coincidental, so the game lacks a lot of fun and does not provide sufficient satisfaction to the players. .

Furthermore, even if a player wins a prize in the special prize slot, the result is nothing more than flashing lamps and sound effects, and the current system is unsatisfactory compared to the great joy that the players receive.

[Means for Solving the Problems] The present invention provides an oscillating body in a box frame that is located between both movable pieces and protrudes toward the back side at approximately the center of the mounting board, and when the movable piece is in a second state. While the game continues, the rocking body is rocked left and right, and the manner in which winnings are won in the special winning hole is changed in relation to the rocking of the rocking body.

[Embodiment] An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. In the figure, reference numeral 1 denotes a mounting board, and movable pieces 2, 2 are provided oppositely on the left and right sides of the front surface of this mounting board 1. The movable pieces 2, 2 are rotatably supported by inserting support shafts 3, 3 fixed at approximately the middle of the length into the cylindrical portions 4, 4 of the mounting board 1. Reference numeral 5 denotes a box frame of a front opening 6 formed in a substantially central portion of the mounting board 1 located between the two movable pieces 2, 2 and protruding toward the back side,

are interlocking. The plungers 13, 13 of the solenoids 12, 12 have springs 1 wound around them.
7 and 17, and as a result, the movable pieces 2 and 2 are placed in the first upright state in which they do not accept falling balls, as shown by solid lines in FIG. When the solenoids 12, 12 are energized, their plungers 13, 13 are attracted downward, and the lowering of the racks 14, 14 causes the pinions 16, 16 to rotate, thereby causing the movable pieces 2,
2 is rotated until it becomes approximately horizontal as shown by the chain line in FIG.

According to the present invention, a rocking body 18 is provided inside the box frame 5. In the case of this embodiment, the rocking body 18 is formed entirely in the shape of a bird, as shown in FIG. , further integrally includes a head 21 located within the gap between both movable pieces 2, 2. In addition, a support shaft 22 is provided at the rear end of the body 19.
An engagement pin 23 is integrally provided slightly above the support shaft 22. The support shaft 22 is formed of a threaded rod, and its base is rotatably attached to the body 19. The support shaft 22 is inserted into a mounting hole 25 drilled in the rear wall 24 of the box frame 5 and protrudes toward the back side, and is fixed by tightening a nut 26 to the protrusion, thereby allowing the swinging body 18 to be moved from side to side. It is supported so that it can swing. The engagement pin 23 is inserted into a semicircular hole 27 formed in the rear wall 24 of the box frame 5, projects toward the back side, and its projecting end is connected to a lever piece 28 that swings about the support shaft 22. . A long hole 29 is bored below the support shaft 22 of the lever piece 28 .

A motor 30 serving as a second drive source for swinging the swinging body 18 is mounted on the mounting plate 3 on the back side of the box frame 5.
1, and the motor shaft 32 has a cam disk 3 having a recess 33 formed in a part of its outer circumferential surface.
4 is fixed. An engagement protrusion 15 is provided on the front surface of the cam disk 34 and is connected to the long hole 29 of the lever piece 28.
is engaged with. Further, a pressing piece 37 of a micro switch 36 for stopping the motor is connected to the outer peripheral surface of the cam disk 34.

The rocking body 18 is arranged so that when the motor 30 is stopped, the ball receiving pieces 20, 20 are positioned almost horizontally, as shown by the solid line in FIG. It's getting old. Further, the head 21 of the rocking body 18 has the movable pieces 2, 2 in the second position.
When the state is changed, the lower end gap is closed. In addition, there are rocking bodies 18 on both sides of the inner part of the box frame 5.
Normal winning openings 38, 38 are formed to receive the hit balls flowing down on the ball receiving pieces 20, 20.

In this embodiment, the motor 30 is driven when the movable pieces 2, 2, in which a hit ball enters the special winning hole 11, enter a special state in which the first state and the second state are repeatedly continued for a predetermined time or a predetermined number of times. The cam disk 34 rotates. By the rotation of this cam disc 34, the engagement protrusion 35
slides inside the elongated hole 29 of the lever piece 28 and swings the lever piece 28 left and right as shown by the chain line in FIG. 18 to the left and right as shown by the chain line in FIG.

Therefore, when the ball receiving pieces 20, 20 of the rocking body 18 are in the horizontal state in FIG. Since the lower end gap of the movable piece 2 is closed by the head 21 of the rocking body 18, the ball rolls onto the upper surface of the left ball receiving piece 20, flows backward, and stops when it enters the normal prize opening 38 in the box frame 5. The balls received on the right movable piece 2 similarly flow backward on the upper surface of the right ball receiving piece 20 and enter the normal winning hole 38.

In addition, as shown by the chain line in the figure, the ball is caught on the upper surface of the movable pieces 2, 2 on the way back to the first state.
B' falls downward from the gap between the lower end of the movable piece 2 and the head 21 and enters either the normal winning slot 10, 10 or the special winning slot 11, or rolls onto the ball catch pieces 20, 20 and enters the normal winning slot. Enter 38.

Next, when the rocking body 18 is rocking to the right in FIG _.
B1 hits the front end and head 21 of the ball receiving piece 20 and is held on the movable piece 2. Then, when the movable piece 2 returns to the first state as shown by the chain line in the figure, it falls downward from the gap created between its lower end and the head 21 and enters the normal winning openings 10, 10 or the special winning opening 11.
It will be in one of the following. In this case, the hitting ball
Since B ₁ will fall downward in a stationary state, the probability of entering the special prize opening 11 in the center is significantly increased. Incidentally, the hit ball 1 received on the right movable piece 2 rolls onto the right ball receiving piece 20 and stops when it enters the normal winning hole 38.

Furthermore, when the rocking body 18 is rocking to the left as _shown in FIG. It rolls, flows backwards, and stops when it enters the normal prize opening 38. Incidentally, the hit ball received on the right movable piece 2 falls downward and enters either the normal winning openings 10, 10 or the special winning opening 11 in the same way as the hitting ball _B1 in FIG. 8B.

On the other hand, the motor stop switch 36 is connected to the movable piece 2,
The motor 3 is turned on as long as the motor 2 is in a special state in which the first state and the second state are repeated for a predetermined time or a predetermined number of times.
0, and when the special state ends, the pressing piece 3
7 falls into the recess 33 of the cam disc 34, it turns off and stops driving the motor 30. As a result, the swinging of the swinging body 18 is stopped.

[Effect of the invention] As explained above, according to the invention, the falling position of the hit ball caught on the movable pieces 2, 2 is regulated by the swinging of the swinging body 18, and thereby, unlike the conventional device, It is possible to improve the service to players, such as making it easier to enter a prize into a special prize opening simply by chance, and it is also possible to change the manner in which prizes are won. It can increase the interest of playing games.

Furthermore, by oscillating the oscillating body 18 in synchronization with the movement of the movable pieces 2, 2 into the special state, unique effects such as allowing the player to enjoy pleasure, a sense of self-satisfaction, and the taste of Daigo can be achieved. be.
