Description

[Detailed description of the invention] [Industrial field of application] This invention has a pair of opening/closing pieces pivoted to the front of the mounting plate so that they can be freely raised and tilted, and a chuck car that covers both sides and the front of the lower part of the opening/closing pieces. This invention relates to the improvement of a safe ball socket for pachinko machines.

[Prior Art] Conventionally, in this type of safe ball receiver, when the opening/closing piece is tilted, the balls are hit between the ball receiving surface of the opening/closing piece, the upper edge of the chuck car, and the inner surface of the glass on the front of the pachinko machine. This had the disadvantage that the opening/closing piece would become stuck and would be unable to operate from then on.

However, the applicant has proposed that the front part of the chuck car be made transparent so that the game balls can be seen from the front, and that it be made large enough to cover the entire opening/closing piece when the opening/closing piece is tilted. A safe ball receptacle which overcomes the above-mentioned conventional drawbacks was previously proposed in Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 1986-6466.

[Problems that the invention aims to solve] However, if the front part of the chuck car is transparent, the dirt from the balls that adhere to the inner surface will be exposed on the front, making it very unsightly and requiring replacement in a short period of time. It turned out that there was a problem.

[Means for Solving the Problems] In view of the above, the present invention forms the front part of the chuck car opaque, extends to the tip of the opening/closing piece in the tilted position, and has an upper edge. The opening/closing piece protrudes above the ball receiving surface, and the protruding portion is lower than the diameter of the pachinko balls or has a transparent groove so that the game balls falling onto the ball receiving surface can be seen. be.

[Example] Hereinafter, an example of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. In the figure, 1 is a mounting plate, 2 is a ball inlet opened in the mounting plate 1, and 3, 3 is a pair of shafts mounted on both sides of the front side of the ball inlet 2 by shafts 4, 4 so that they can stand parallel to each other and can freely tilt in an inverted eight shape. The opening/closing piece 5 indicates a chucker fixed to the mounting plate 1 so as to cover both lower sides and front surfaces of the opening/closing pieces 3, 3, and 6 indicates a guide box provided at the rear of the mounting plate 1. Inside the guide box 6, a ball guide plate 7 is pivotally supported by a horizontal shaft 8 so that its weighted tip can intervene between the opening and closing pieces 3, as is well known. 9 is a magnet provided on the lower surface of the rear end of the ball guide plate 7; 10 is the magnet 9;
A magnetic rod 11 is installed horizontally at the rear lower part of the guide box 6 to attract the ball.

A safe ball receptacle having such a structure is known, and when the opening/closing pieces 3, 3 are standing up as shown by the solid line in FIG. The top of the ball is guided backwards, and the weight of the ball causes the tip to swing upward as shown by the chain line in Figure 3, and the opening/closing pieces 3, 3 are tilted in an inverted eight-shape as shown by the chain line in Figure 2, and in this state, the ball When the ball enters the opening/closing pieces 3, 3, the opening/closing pieces 3, 3 are raised up, and then the ball rides on the ball receiving piece 11 to return the ball guide plate 7 to its original state as shown by the solid line in FIG.

Therefore, in the present invention, the front part 5a of the chucker 5 is made opaque so that the dirt from the balls is not exposed on the front surface, and the front part 5a has at least the opening/closing piece 3 in the tilted position as shown in FIG. 3
The ball receiving surfaces 3a, 3a of the opening/closing pieces 3, 3 are extended to the tip of the opening/closing pieces 3, 3 with their upper edges 5b in the tilted position.
Formed to protrude further upwards. The protruding portion is formed lower than the diameter of the ball so that the ball falling onto the ball receiving surfaces 3a, 3a of the opening/closing pieces 3, 3 can be seen from the front.

The safe ball receiving device of the present invention configured as described above can completely eliminate the phenomenon of balls stopping at the front, as in the previous application, by enlarging the front portion 5a of the chucker 5. Katsuchat car 5
By forming the front portion 5a of the ball to be opaque, it is possible to eliminate the drawback of the previous application in which dirt on the balls is exposed on the front surface. In the present invention, the front portion 5a protrudes upward from the ball receiving surfaces 3a, 3a of the opening/closing pieces 3, 3.
By making it lower than the diameter of the pachinko ball,
Even if the front portion 5a is opaque, the opening/closing pieces 3, 3
The balls falling onto the ball receiving surfaces 3a, 3a can be seen from the front, and this gives players the same enjoyment and sense of security as the conventional safe ball receiving device. It is something.

FIG. 4 shows another embodiment of the present invention, in which a through groove 12 is bored in the front portion 5a of the chucker 5 along the ball receiving surfaces 3a, 3a of the opening/closing pieces 3, 3. By providing the transparent groove 12 in this way, even if the front part of the chucker 5 is opaque, the balls falling onto the ball receiving surfaces 3a, 3a of the opening/closing pieces 3, 3 can be seen from the front.

[Effects of the invention] As explained in the above embodiments, the present invention eliminates the impact caused by the mutual positional relationship between the ball receiving surfaces 3a, 3a of the opening/closing pieces 3, 3 and the front portion 5a of the chucker 5 and the glass surface. The phenomenon of balls stopping at the front can be completely eliminated, and even if dirt from the balls adheres to the inner surface of the front part 5a of the chucker 5, the dirt is not exposed on the front surface, so that it can be used for a long period of time.

Claims (1)

[Scope of Claim for Utility Model Registration] 1. A pair of opening/closing pieces are pivoted to the front of a mounting plate so that they can be freely raised and tilted, and a chuck car is fixed to the mounting plate so as to cover both sides and the front of the lower part of the opening/closing pieces. In the safe ball receiver, the chucker has an opaque front portion, the front portion extends to the tip of the opening/closing piece in the tilted position, and the upper edge thereof extends above the ball receiving surface of the opening/closing piece. This safe ball socket for a pachinko machine is characterized in that the ball protrudes and the protruding part is lower than the diameter of the pachinko ball. 2. The safe ball receiving device for a pachinko machine according to claim 1, wherein a through groove is bored in the front part of the player along the ball receiving surface of the opening/closing piece.
