Description

[Detailed description of the invention] "Industrial application field" The invention consists of a pair of movable pieces that are pivoted on both sides of the front surface of the ball inlet formed on the mounting plate so that they can stand up and tilt in an inverted eight shape, and the movable pieces. A chuck car surrounding the lower part and attached to the front face of the mounting plate, and protruding in the radial direction at approximately equal angular intervals downward from the axis of the movable piece in the front part within the box frame fixed to the rear face of the mounting plate. In a safe ball socket device in which a cam wheel is pivotally supported by providing several ball contact pieces and forming parts with and without engagement walls at both ends between the ball contact pieces, a part of the mounting plate and a movable part are used. This invention relates to a safe ball socket for a pachinko machine whose pieces are illuminated with lamps to enhance the decorative effect.

``Prior art'' Conventionally, a safe ball socket in which a movable piece is illuminated by a lamp is known from Japanese Utility Model Application Publication No. 59-69782, but the safe ball socket of the invention disclosed in this publication is The device is one in which only the movable piece is illuminated, and has a structure in which a cylindrical portion through which the lamp is inserted and a mounting projection for attaching the lamp are bored in the mounting plate.

``Problems that the invention seeks to solve'' For this reason, the above-mentioned safe ball socket has a low decorative effect, and the complicated structure of the mounting plate makes it difficult to manufacture, and it takes time and effort to attach the lamp. It has the disadvantage that it takes a long time.

"Means for Solving the Problems" In view of the above, the present invention includes a pair of movable pieces that are pivoted on both sides of the front surface of the ball inlet formed on the mounting plate so as to be able to stand up and tilt in an inverted eight shape, and the movable pieces. A chuck car surrounding the lower part and attached to the front of the mounting plate, and a chuck car protruding in the radial direction at approximately equal angular intervals downward from the axis of the movable piece in the front part of the box frame fixed to the lower rear face of the mounting plate. In a safe ball socket device in which a cam wheel is pivotally supported, the movable piece is provided with several ball contact pieces, and a part with an engaging wall and a part without an engaging wall are formed at both ends between the ball contact pieces, and the movable piece is transparent. The movable piece is made of synthetic resin and has a hollow shape with an open rear surface, and a transparent window is formed in the upper part of the mounting plate located above the ball inlet and the base part that overlaps when the movable piece is raised and tilted. A front part corresponding to the transparent window in the upper part is formed of a transparent synthetic resin, and a lamp provided in correspondence to the transparent window in the upper part of the mounting plate and the base part of the movable piece is housed and supported. The lamp support is attached to the rear surface of the mounting plate and to the upper part of the box frame.

"Operation" When the lamp is lit, the light passes through the front surface and the movable piece of the lamp support, and the light of the color of the front surface and the movable piece is emitted to the outside of the front through the transparent window of the mounting plate. This can enhance the decorative effect. In addition, a safe ball socket with a lamp can be obtained with a simple structure in which the lamp support housing the lamp is attached to the upper part of the box frame on the rear surface of the mounting plate.

“Embodiment” An embodiment of the present invention will be described below based on the drawings. In the figure, 1 is a mounting plate with a ball inlet 2 in the center, and 3, 3 is a pair of movable pieces supported on both sides of the front side of the ball inlet by shafts 4, 4 so that they can stand in parallel and tilt in an inverted eight shape. It is made of a transparent synthetic resin and has a hollow shape with an open rear surface. Reference numeral 5 indicates a chucker fixed to the mounting plate 1 by covering the lower part of the shafts 4, 4 of the movable pieces 3, 3, and 6 indicates a box frame provided on the back side of the mounting plate 1. A cam wheel 7 is rotatably supported inside the box frame 6 by a horizontal shaft 8. In this embodiment, the cam wheel 7 includes three ball contact pieces 9 protruding from the center at approximately equal angles in the radial direction, and is provided on the engagement wall 10 at one location between both side ends of each of the ball contact pieces 9. The engagement wall 10 intervenes between the movable pieces 3, 3 to maintain its upright position, and also prevents the balls flowing from the bottom of the chucker 5 between the movable pieces 3, 3 from coming into contact with the ball inlet 2. This causes the cam wheel 7 to rotate, causing a tilting movement when the portion without the engagement wall 10 intervenes between the movable pieces 3, 3. That is, the movable pieces 3, 3 are closed,
It operates with the three operations of open and open as one cycle. 1
1 is a steel ball sealed inside the box frame 6, and the steel ball 11
By applying this weight to one ball contact piece 9, the cam wheel 7 is prevented from moving inadvertently and stopped at the correct stopping angle.

However, in the present invention, the ball inlet 2 of the mounting plate 1 is
Transparent windows 12a, 12 are provided in the upper part and the overlapped part when the movable pieces 3, 3 are raised and tilted.
Drill b. In addition, the transparent window 1 corresponding to the upper part
The shape of 2a is preferably selected from an arbitrary shape, and is preferably formed into an appropriate pattern to enhance the decorative effect. On the other hand, the mounting plate 1 corresponding to the transparent windows 12a and 12b
The lamp support 13 is fixed to the upper surface of the box frame 6 by adhesive or other means, with its front surface brought into close contact with the back surface of the box frame 6.
The lamp support 13 has an uneven surface on the inside front surface of the transparent window 12a corresponding to the upper part so as to diffusely reflect light, and has an open front surface of the transparent window 12b corresponding to the movable pieces 3, 3, and a rear surface. It is shaped like a hollow box with an opening. Reference numeral 14 denotes a lamp board, on the front of which a lamp 15 is attached. The lamp board 14 is fixed to the lower edge of the rear end of the lamp support 13 by screws 16, thereby allowing the lamp 15 to be accommodated in the hollow interior of the lamp support 13. In addition, 17 in the figure is the lamp board 1
4 is the lead wire connected to lead wire 1, and 18 is lead wire 1
This is the holding fitting of No.7.

In the safe ball receptacle of the present invention constructed as described above, the lamp 15 illuminates the hollow interior of the lamp support 13 as the lamp 15 is lit. The light from the lamp 15 is transmitted to the lamp support 1 for the upper part.
3 and emits light from the transparent window 12a to the front surface of the mounting plate 1, and for the movable pieces 3 and 3, the transparent window 12b
The light passes through the movable pieces 3, and emits light in front of the movable pieces 3, 3, creating a beautiful atmosphere.

``Effect of the invention'' As is clear from the detailed description above, the safe ball socket of the invention has the advantage that the upper part located above the ball inlet formed on the mounting plate and the movable piece move when standing up and tilting. Since the base part, which sometimes overlaps, is illuminated with a lamp, not only the movable piece but also the mounting plate itself can be illuminated, increasing the decorative effect, and the structure is designed so that the upper part of the ball entrance can also be illuminated. Therefore, it is possible to clearly inform the user of the position where the ball will land in the safe ball receiver. In addition, in the present invention, a lamp support body that houses the entire lamp is provided separately, and it is simply attached to the top of the box frame on the rear surface of the mounting plate, so the lamp is not exposed and is protected, and the lamp support body that accommodates the entire lamp is provided separately. It is only necessary to make a window, and it can be easily applied to a conventional safe ball socket of this type, so that a safe ball socket with a lamp can be easily obtained.
