Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a pachinko ball removing device for collecting pachinko balls (hereinafter, simply referred to as balls) scattered on a floor surface in a pachinko parlor by using a magnet.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In a pachinko parlor, balls handled by a player during a game are often spilled and scattered on the floor. In order to collect the balls scattered on the floor like this,
A bead removing device using a magnet has been proposed.

The basic construction of this type of ball removing device is as follows:
As shown in FIG. 1, a pipe arm 2 is extended from a pistol-shaped grip portion 1, a suction head 3 is rotatably attached to the end of the arm, and a magnet 4 is installed in the suction head.
Is arranged so that the magnet 4 can be separated from the head bottom portion 3a by connecting the magnet 4 to the operation piece 6 in the gripping portion through the connecting rod 5, and the gripping portion can be used for collecting balls scattered on the floor surface. 1 to bring the attraction head 3 close to the ball and cause the magnetic force of the magnet 4 to attract it to the head bottom portion 3a. It is separated from 3a, the attraction magnetic force to the ball is drastically reduced, and the ball is naturally dropped.

In the ball removing device having the above-described basic structure, the present applicant first attaches the rolling wheels to both sides of the suction head, rolls the rolling wheels on the floor surface, and moves the suction head from the floor surface. We proposed a ball-picking device that floats and moves. When the suction head is lifted from the floor in this way, the bottom of the head does not directly rub against the floor, so regardless of the size of the amount of balls adsorbed to the bottom of the head, a light movement is achieved and ball collection work is performed. In addition, the balls that are attracted to the bottom of the head will not be dragged onto the floor and will not fall off during the ball collection work. It has features such as not being damaged.

[0005]

By the way, in the structure in which the rotatable wheels are provided on both sides of the suction head as described above, the balls are always collected with the head bottom part floating from the floor surface. Although there is no particular problem in collecting balls on a flat floor surface, it may be difficult to bring the head bottom part close to the balls in order to collect balls that have fallen into small depressions or grooves on the floor surface.

[0006] Further, when the apparatus is not used, it is desired to keep the apparatus in an upright state so that the apparatus can be used immediately if necessary. In order to stand the device, it is necessary to fix the suction head part so that the rolling wheels do not rotate, and it is necessary to lean against the wall, etc., which limits the storage location.

The present invention has been made in view of the above points, and the head bottom portion can be directly attached to the floor surface,
It is another object of the present invention to provide a convenient bead-removing device that can be placed in an independent state anywhere and does not have a restriction on the storage location.

[0008]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, the gist of the present invention is to dispose a magnet in an adsorption head connected to a grip and to operate the magnet by operating the grip. In a ball removing device configured to be detachable from a bottom portion, the head bottom portion is formed into a bottom lid detachably attached to a bottom opening of a suction head, and a supporting member is projected from the bottom lid on one side of the suction head, According to another aspect of the present invention, there is provided a ball picking device for a pachinko machine, wherein a roller is attached to a support member so as to be freely rotatable and a lower portion of the wheel is aligned with an extension plane of an outer surface of a head bottom.

[0009]

[Function] In order to normally collect the balls on the floor surface, the rolling wheels are rolled on the floor surface and the suction head is levitated. To collect the balls that have fallen into a small depression on the floor surface, lift the suction head and change the direction of the suction head so that the bottom of the head is directly attached to the floor surface. To store the device, when the device is placed on the floor, the bottom of the head comes into full contact with the floor, and the bottom of the head and the rolling surface on its extension plane are also in contact with the floor to stabilize themselves.

[0010]

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a cross-sectional view of a partially omitted apparatus showing an embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a perspective view of a suction head portion.

In the figure, the basic configuration of the device, that is,
Grasping part 1, arm 2, suction head 3, magnet 4, connecting rod 5
Since the respective configurations of the operation piece 6 and the operation piece 6 are the same as those described above, duplicate description will be omitted.

In the present invention, the head bottom portion 3a is formed on the bottom lid 7 which is detachably attached to the bottom opening of the suction head 3. From the bottom cover 7 to the support member 8 on one side of the suction head 3.
Projecting, and mounting the rolling wheel 9 on the support member 8 so that it can rotate freely,
The lower part of the wheel is aligned with the extension plane of the outer surface of the bottom of the head.

The wheel 9 of the bottom lid 7 is attached to the surrounding wall 7a.
A locking piece 10 is attached to the side surface of the suction head 3 in series, and a locking portion 11 formed on the top of the locking piece 10 is releasably locked to the upper surface of the suction head 3 to carelessly The bottom cover 7 is prevented from coming off. In addition, the suction head 3 is moved by the operator from the grip portion 1 in order to move as desired,
The tip of the arm is fitted into a mounting tube 12 provided on the suction head 3 and is rotatably connected. Further, in the grip portion 1, an end portion of the connecting rod 5 is rotatably inserted into a hole 13 provided in the operation piece 6 so that the connecting rod 5 does not move in the axial direction in the hole 13. ing.

In the above structure, in order to normally collect the balls scattered on the floor surface, as shown in FIG. 3 (a), the roller 9 is rolled to the floor surface A and the suction head 3 is moved to the floor surface A. And float the ball B on the head bottom 3a. Where floor A
The flying height of the suction head 3 is set to about 1.5 to 2 times the diameter of the ball B.

In order to collect the balls B that have fallen into a small recess A'on the floor A, the suction head 3 is once lifted and the wheel 9 is moved away from the floor A to change the direction of the suction head 3. As shown in FIG. 3B, the balls B are attracted to the head bottom portion 3a so that the head bottom portion 3a is directly attached to the floor surface A with the rolling wheel 9 facing upward.

When the apparatus is stored, if the apparatus is stood on the floor surface A which is out of the way, the head bottom portion 3 is placed on the floor surface A.
In addition to the contact of a with the entire surface, the surface of the rolling wheel 9 on the extension plane of the head bottom portion 3a also contacts the floor surface A to stabilize itself.

[0018]

[Effect] According to the present invention configured as described above, the following effects are obtained.

(1) By simply changing the direction of the suction head, the suction head can be directly attached to the floor surface regardless of the presence of the rolling wheels, so balls that have fallen into depressions or grooves on the floor surface are easy. It is easy to use and can be collected.

(2) When storing the apparatus, when the apparatus is set up on the floor surface, the head bottom and the rolling wheels contact the floor surface to stabilize the apparatus on its own, so that the apparatus does not lean against a wall or the like. Standing on the floor where it does not get in the way, it can be stored anywhere and is convenient to handle.
