Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION <Industrial field of application> The present invention relates to a hitting ball winning apparatus for a pachinko machine, which is provided on the surface of a pachinko machine and changes the state of hitting a ball or winning the ball.

<Prior Art> As is well known, many hitting ball winning devices for pachinko machines are known. For example, movable wing pieces are provided on the left and right of the winning opening, and each time the ball hits, the movable wing piece tilts, making it easier or harder for the ball to enter. And there is a hitting ball winning device with a complicated structure.

<Problems to be solved by the invention> However, in each of the hitting ball winning devices described above, the change of the movable wing piece is monotonous or too complicated, and if the movable wing piece occupies a large game portion on the surface of the game board, an obstacle nail is generated. As the number of hits decreases, the falling state of the ball becomes monotonous. Further, since the hitting ball winning device having a complicated structure has a relatively large electromagnet on the back surface of the game board, the back surface of the game board becomes narrow, and it is difficult to provide other parts.

<Means for Solving the Problem> This invention has been proposed to solve the above-mentioned drawbacks, and a horizontal through hole is opened in a board to be mounted on the surface of the game board so that the prize hole formed in the game board is exposed. No, the surface of the board is provided with a receiving piece that is located at the lower edge of a part of the through hole and extends forward to receive a hit ball flowing down the surface of the game board, and a position apart from the receiving piece. The movable wing piece is rotatably supported so as to be located on one side or both sides of the through hole, and the operating mechanism provided on the back surface of the game board and the movable wing piece are connected to each other, Depending on the state, there are almost no hit balls entering the winning opening, and a state in which the movable wing piece is substantially horizontal at the lower edge of the through hole and the tip is continuous with the side edge of the receiving piece so that the hit ball is easy to enter. It is characterized in that the operation mechanism is used for conversion.

<Embodiment> The present invention will be described below with reference to an embodiment of the drawings. Reference numeral 1 is a substrate attached to the surface of a game board a, and a through hole 2 corresponding to a winning opening b opened in the game board a is provided. In the illustrated embodiment, three through holes are arranged side by side in the lateral direction, and each through hole 2 is partitioned by a guide frame 3 provided on the back surface of the substrate. And
On the surface of the substrate 1, a receiving piece 4 is provided so as to be located at the lower edge of the central through hole 2 and extend forward, and a ball hitting the surface of the game board will pass through the receiving piece 4 when the ball hits the receiving piece 4. It is guided to the back of the game board from 2 through the guide frame 3 and becomes a winning ball.

The movable wing piece 5 is positioned on one side of the above-mentioned left and right through holes,
Each movable wing piece 5 is supported by the tip of a shaft 7 supported by a bearing 6 provided on the back surface of the substrate 1.

Each movable wing piece 5 has a vertically elongated shape that hangs downward from the shaft 7, but according to the embodiment shown in the drawings, the movable wing piece 5 on the left side in FIG. 2 has a portion extending above the shaft 7. The shaft 7 is vertically longer than the right movable wing piece 5, and the shaft 7 is fixed substantially at the center of the left movable wing piece 5. Therefore, as shown by the solid line in FIG. 2, when both movable wing pieces 5 are substantially vertical, it is difficult for the hit ball to enter the winning opening b from each through hole 2, but when the hit ball hits, the hit ball swings and the direction of the hit ball falls. Convert it. When both movable wing pieces 5 are positioned substantially below the through hole 2 in a substantially horizontal shape as shown by the chain line in FIG. 2, each movable wing piece 5 receives a hit ball and wins through the through hole 2. Can be guided to the mouth b. In particular, the movable wing piece 5 on the left side extends laterally from the substrate 1 when it becomes horizontal, so that it is easy to receive a hit ball. In the present invention, each movable wing piece 5 may be provided with any of the above movable wing pieces arranged side by side, or any one of the movable wing pieces may be provided on one side.

A plate 8 is provided concentrically with the shaft 7 on the back surface of each movable wing piece 5, and a locking piece 9 is provided on the back surface of the plate 8. Then, a fan-shaped communication hole 10 centering on the shaft 7 is opened laterally in the substrate 1, and the above-mentioned locking piece 9 is exposed to the communication hole 10. If necessary, the decorative plate 11 extending between the left and right shafts 7, 7 is used as the receiving piece 4
It may be fixed to the tip of and the lower side of the through hole 2 may be covered.

On the other hand, the operating mechanism 12 is provided on the back side of the substrate 1. The actuating mechanism 12 comprises an electromagnet 13 and an actuating frame 14 which moves up and down by actuation of the electromagnet 13, and a plunger 13 ′ of the electromagnet 13 is connected to the actuating frame 14.

The operation frame 14 described above includes a horizontally-long U-shaped vertical portion 15 and
The L-shaped cross section is composed of a horizontal portion 16 extending rearward from the lower edge of the vertical portion 15, and longitudinally elongated holes 17 through which the shaft 6 is passed are formed on the left and right side edges. Further, the protrusions 18 are provided on the left and right side portions of the vertical portion 15 so as to be located inside the vertically elongated holes 17. The actuating frame 14 can move up and down by engaging the vertical guide frames 19 provided on the left and right side portions of the back surface of the substrate 1 with the side edges of the vertical portion 15. When the operating frame 14 is engaged with the guide frame 19, each of the protrusions 18 faces the locking piece 9 of the movable blade piece 5 from below.

Therefore, when the electromagnet 13 is demagnetized, the operating frame 14 is lowered, so that each movable wing piece 5 is vertical, and it is difficult for the hit ball to enter the through hole 2, and when the hit ball hits, it swings and the surface of the game board is hit. Change the downflow direction. However, when the electromagnet 13 is excited, the actuating frame 14 rises and the protrusion 18 lifts the locking piece 9 from below. For this reason, each movable wing piece 5 rotates about the shaft 7 as a fulcrum and becomes horizontal, and the hit ball is moved from the movable wing piece 5 to the through hole 2
It is easy to enter. When the electromagnet 13 is demagnetized, the actuating frame 14 is lowered by the biasing force of the spring or its own weight, so that each movable wing piece 5 is lowered by its own weight and becomes vertical.

The electromagnet 13 has a switch (not shown) which is turned on when a ball hits another winning part in the game part, and is electrically controlled to excite a ball for a fixed time or a few times. It becomes easy to enter. Therefore, when the hit ball is in a special state, the movable wing piece is rotated by the electromagnet, which gives a benefit to the player.

The above description is an embodiment of the present invention, and may have any configuration unless the gist is changed. For example, the movable blade may be rotated by using a mechanism other than the electromagnet as the operating mechanism. In addition, a movable wing piece may be provided on one side or both sides of one winning opening, and the state in which a hit ball enters the winning opening may be changed by the movable wing piece.

<Effects of the Invention> In short, according to the present invention, the board to be mounted on the surface of the game board is provided with a horizontally long through hole so as to face the winning opening formed in the game board, and the above hole is formed on the surface of the board. A receiving piece that is located at a lower edge of a part of the hole, extends forward, and receives a hit ball flowing down the surface of the game board, and is located at a position apart from the receiving piece on one side or both sides of the through hole. A state in which the movable wing piece is rotatably supported so as to be positioned, the operating mechanism provided on the back surface of the game board and the movable wing piece are connected, and the hitting ball hardly enters the winning opening depending on the state of the movable wing piece. And the movable wing piece is substantially horizontal at the lower edge of the through hole, and the tip is continuous with the side edge of the receiving piece, so that the state where the hit ball is easily entered is converted by the operating mechanism. To do.

Therefore, when the movable wing piece is upright, the hit ball flowing down the surface of the game board becomes a winning ball when it hits the receiving piece extending forward from the board, and when it hits the movable wing piece. The flow direction may change rapidly. Then, when the movable wing piece is substantially horizontal, the hit ball on the upper surface of the movable wing piece rolls and enters the winning opening from the through hole as it is or rolls to the receiving piece to enter the winning opening. Becomes a winning ball. For this reason, it gives a great change to the winning state of the batting ball, and the flowing state of the batting ball on the surface of the game board is complicated and rich in variety, not only increasing the interest of pachinko games, but also moving wing pieces from upright to horizontal Since it changes greatly, the decorative effect can be enhanced. In addition, when the movable wing piece is upright, there is a gap between the movable wing piece and the receiving piece so that the hitting ball can pass through, so that the hitting ball collides with the movable wing piece and the receiving piece and the downflow direction is irregular. There is a possibility that the player will be converted and unexpectedly generated and win a prize device provided below the game board, and it is possible to provide a pachinko machine with a high pachinko game feeling for the player.
