A groove frame body having a flat pressing surface that is pressed by a ball collecting cover, a mounting portion extending to one side of the opening edge of the groove frame body and attaching the groove frame body to the back surface of the game board, and a groove frame. The gist of this invention is "a partition gutter on the back side of a game board in a pachinko machine, which is characterized by comprising a separation part that can be easily separated from the wall of the main body and can form a ball entrance/exit when separated from the wall.

(Function) Therefore, in the partition gutter of the present invention, the ball entrance/exit is opened by cutting off the cutout provided on the wall of the groove frame main body, which has a substantially U-shaped cross section and has a width slightly larger than the diameter of the winning ball. A similarly formed ball entrance/exit of another partition gutter is connected to this ball entrance/exit, and these partition gutter are attached to the back surface of the game board by a mounting portion extending to one side of the opening edge of the groove frame main body. By fixing it on one side and attaching a ball cover to it,
The winning ball path can be freely designed on the back of the game board, allowing the winning balls to flow in any direction. In addition, when a ball catcher cover is attached to this partition gutter, the pressing surface pressed by the cover is flat, and there is a possibility that the wiring cord may be caught between the partition gutter and the cover and be damaged. It will never be cut off. (Embodiments) Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the invention will be described in detail by way of example with reference to the drawings. However, the materials, shapes, relative positions, etc. of the components described in this invention do not limit the scope of this invention, unless specifically stated.
This is just an illustrative example.

Now, as shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, the partition gutter 11 of this invention includes a gutter frame main body 12, a mounting part 13 extending from one side of the opening edge of the gutter frame main body 12, and a gutter frame main body 12. Easy-to-cut separation section 15 provided on the wall of
It is composed of.

As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the groove frame body 12
is a groove frame consisting of a bottom surface 16 and a wall surface 17, having a substantially U-shaped cross section with a width larger than the diameter of the winning ball, and having a flat pressing surface 25 pressed by a ball gathering cover. be. The winning balls flow in a predetermined direction along the inside of the groove frame main body 12. The groove frame main body 12 has a flat pressing surface 25 on the outer surface of the bottom, and a ball collection cover (not shown) is attached to the partition gutter 11 to collect winning balls to a winning ball outlet (not shown). By doing so, the pressing surface 25 of the groove frame main body 12 is pressed by the ball collecting cover (not shown),
The partition gutter 11 is designed not to shift or shake. The wall surface 17 of this groove frame main body 12 is provided with a separation portion 15 that can be easily separated.

The separation part 15 is a wall that is the same as or larger than the winning ball so that when separated from the wall surface 17 of the groove frame main body 12, a ball entrance/exit can be formed. By making the wall thinner than the wall surface 17, or by forming a slit for separation between the wall surface 17 and the wall surface 17, it can be easily separated. Further, the separation portion 15 is provided at an arbitrary position of the groove frame body 12, such as on the wall surface 17 of the longitudinal end portion of the groove frame body 12, or on the wall surface 17 of the longitudinal center portion of the groove frame body 12.

Then, this separation part 15 is separated from the wall surface 17 of the groove frame main body 12 to form a ball entrance/exit in the trench frame main body 12, and a similarly formed ball entrance/exit of another partition gutter 11 is connected to this ball entrance/exit. By doing so, it is possible to form any winning ball path by extending or changing the direction of the winning ball path formed by the partition gutter 11.

For example, to explain an example of changing the direction of the winning ball path, as shown in FIGS. 1 to 3 and 9, the wall surface 17 at the longitudinal end of one partition gutter 11 and the wall surface 17 near the end Separation part 1 provided in
5 and 15 are cut off, and then the ball inlet/outlet formed by cutting off the cut-off portions 15 at both longitudinal ends of another partition gutter 11 is aligned with the ball inlet/outlet formed near this end. Then, attach these to the groove frame main body 12.
They are each attached and fixed to the back surface of the game board 20 by attachment portions extending to one side of the opening edge. In this way, the direction of flow of winning balls through one partition gutter 11 can be changed to the direction of flow of winning balls through another partition gutter 11.

As shown in FIGS. 1 and 8, the mounting portion 13
is a plate provided with a mounting hole 14 extending on one side of the opening edge of the groove frame main body 12. This mounting part 13
are provided in the whole or in part along the longitudinal direction of the groove frame main body 12, and by driving nails 21 with a tackler or the like into the mounting holes 14 of the mounting portion 13, the game board can be fixed. The partition gutter 11 is attached and fixed to the back surface of the pipe 20. In addition, since the mounting portion 13 extends only to one side of the opening edge of the groove frame main body 12, the game board 20
The space for installing the partition gutter on the back side can be halved, and the mounting part 13 does not get in the way when connecting to another partition gutter.

In addition, when installing the partition gutter 11 on the back side of the game board 20, in order to avoid using the central part of the back side of the game board 20 where winning ball paths are concentrated, the side where the attachment part 13 of the partition gutter 11 is installed is attached to the game board. It is best to attach it towards the end of the 20.

Incidentally, from the point of view of reducing the manufacturing process, it is preferable that the attachment part 13 of the partition gutter 11 of the present invention is molded integrally with the gutter frame main body 12 as in this embodiment.

Next, the usage condition of this partition gutter will be explained.

First, as shown in FIGS. 1 to 4 and 8, various types of partition gutter 11 are prepared, such as one in which the longitudinal end of the gutter frame main body 12 is cut at right angles, and one in which the end is cut at an angle. It is determined according to the winning ball path formed on the back side of the game board 20. Next, a cutting section 15 provided at an arbitrary position on the wall surface 17 of the groove frame main body 12 is selected in accordance with the expected winning ball path, and the cutting section 15 is cut off. Next, divide the partition gutter 11 into each partition gutter 1.
It is fixed to the back surface of a game board 20 so as to connect the ball entrances and exits formed in 1 with each other. The fixing work is done by driving nails 21 with a tatcher or the like into the mounting holes 14 of the mounting part 13 extending to one side of the opening edge of the groove frame main body 12, and by attaching a ball cover (not shown) to the partition. Gutters can be installed and fixed.

In this way, when the plurality of partition troughs 11 are attached and fixed at predetermined positions on the back surface of the game board 20, winning ball paths are formed by these partition troughs 11 on the back surface of the game board 20. In addition, partition gutter 11
As shown in FIGS. 1 to 5, the groove frame main body 12
It is not limited to those whose longitudinal ends are cut at a right angle or those whose ends are cut diagonally, but may have a protruding semicircular shape or a concave shape.

Note that the partition gutter 11 is not limited to a straight shape as shown in FIGS. 6 and 7, but may have other shapes such as a crank shape or an S-shape.

In addition, as shown in FIGS. 10 and 11, in the case of this partition gutter 11, the bottom surface 16 of the groove frame main body 12
Non-contact sensor 1 that detects the passage of winning balls on the back side
9 can also be attached, thereby making it possible to easily form the partition frame 11 having a detection function for detecting the passage of winning balls. In this case, in order to enhance the detection function of the non-contact sensor 19, it is desirable to provide a convex portion 18 on the bottom surface 16 and wall surface 17 of the groove frame main body 12 to slow down the flow of winning balls. Note that the partition gutter 11, which has convex portions on the bottom surface 16, wall surface 17, etc. of the gutter frame body 12, can be used even when the non-contact sensor 19 is not attached, in order to slow down the flow of winning balls. .

(Effects of the invention) As detailed above, in the partition gutter of the invention, the groove frame body has a substantially U-shaped cross section with a width slightly larger than the diameter of the winning ball, and the ball holding cover Since it has a flat pressing surface that can be pressed, when the partition gutter is attached and fixed to the back of the game board and the ball guide cover is attached, the wiring cord will connect between the ball guide cover and the partition gutter. It won't get caught in the middle and get hurt, shot, or cut. In addition, in the case of the partition gutter of the present invention, since the mounting portion extends only to one side of the opening edge of the groove frame body, the space for installing the partition gutter on the back side of the game board can be halved. Also, the mounting part does not get in the way when connecting to another partition gutter. Furthermore, in the case of this partition gutter, the partition gutter is attached to the back of the game board using a mounting part that extends only to one side of the gutter frame body, and is fixed on one side, but the ball holding cover allows the gutter frame body to be fixed. Since the pressing surface is pressed, the partition gutter will not shift or wobble.

In addition, the partition gutter of the present invention has a simple structure consisting of a gutter frame body, a mounting portion, and a separation portion, and the mold for manufacturing the partition gutter may also be a simple one. , it can be made inexpensive.

Furthermore, in the case of the partition gutter of the present invention, a ball inlet/outlet is formed by separating the separated part of the gutter frame body, and a similarly formed ball inlet/outlet of another partition gutter is connected to this ball inlet/outlet, and By attaching these partition gutter to the back of the game board using the attachment part extending to one side of the opening edge of the groove frame body, and by attaching the ball collection cover to the flat pressing surface on the outer surface of the groove frame body, the winning ball path You can freely design the back of the game board, and the winning balls can flow in any direction.
