[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a nail adjusting aid used when adjusting nails placed on a game board such as a pachinko machine.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Recently, various types of pachinko machines with improved game properties and similar game boards have been used, but the adjustment of the nails of these game machines requires the pachinko machines actually used. A gauge rod provided with a ball gauge at the tip thereof without using a ball or the like is used, and the cage ball is moved along the space between the nails by the gauge rod, and when the space between the nails is passed, the cage is moved. The distance and posture of the nails are adjusted by feeling how well they reach the fingertips through the rod.

Among the nail adjustments, it is particularly important to adjust accessories such as tulips, which have a great effect on the number of balls to be won when a prize is won, and loose nails which are placed above the winning opening of the starting checker. It is judged by moving the gage ball between the nails while imagining the course where the pachinko ball falls, and at that time the movement of the gage ball is awkward and naturally falls It takes a great deal of skill to move a gage ball like a pachinko ball inside, so it is difficult to accurately read how the pachinko ball falls between the loose nails, and therefore correct nail adjustment is required. I couldn't.

[0004]

[PROBLEMS TO BE SOLVED BY THE INVENTION] The object of the present invention is to solve such a drawback. A pachinko ball used in a game is used as a game ball, and the game ball naturally disperses. (EN) It is possible to provide a nail adjusting aid capable of easily, accurately and efficiently performing a complicated nail adjusting operation while observing a state of dropping between nails.

[0005]

In order to achieve the above object, according to the present invention, a cover body is formed of a transparent material so as to surround a loose nail to be adjusted, and a cover body is provided from above the cover body. There is provided a nail adjusting aid for throwing a ball into a ball and discharging the ball from a discharge port provided below. Since the appearance of the gage ball falling between the nails can be seen from the outside, it is possible to make an accurate judgment on the nail adjustment.

[0006]

Embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below. The cover body (1) is made of a transparent synthetic resin material or the like, and side plates (3) are provided on both sides of a front plate (2) having an opening at the top, and a bottom plate (4) is formed at the bottom. . The upper opening of the front plate (2) serves as an inlet (6) for a gage ball (5) which is a pachinko ball, and the upper surface of the bottom plate (4) has
A discharge port (7) is formed.

Shown in the figure is the cover body (1).
Is formed in such a size as to cover loose nails placed above the respective winning openings (9) arranged on the surface (cell surface) of the game board (8) (FIG. 4), and its front plate (2). ) Is provided with a nail adjusting hole (10) having an appropriate interval. If the upper portion of the discharge port is formed by cutting out a large portion, the nail can be adjusted from there (FIG. 4). As shown in FIG. 2, the bottom plate (4) is sized so as to cover the winning opening and extends forward from the side plate as an inclined surface. The bottom plate (4) falls between the loose nails and falls along the bottom plate. The incoming gage balls are ejected forward. Further, both edge portions (11) and (11) extending below the side plate of the bottom plate may be raised to form a gage ball so as not to fall to the left and right.

The adjusting hole (10) is formed in such a size that the tip of the pliers can be inserted therein, and is formed in a laterally long hole in the figure, but when the gauge ball drops a loose nail, it does not protrude forward. If so, it can be provided in various shapes.

Mounting means are formed on the upper portion of the front plate (2) so as to detachably hold the cover body (1) on the game board (8). As shown in the figure, a guide groove (12) is bored along the upper end portion of the front plate, and a threaded portion (14) formed at one end of the support bar (13) is passed through the guide groove, and the threaded portion is inserted into the threaded portion. A nut (15) is tightened so that it can be fixed at an arbitrary position, and a suction cup (16) for adsorbing to the game surface is provided at the other end of the support bar (13). In this way, the support bar can be moved and fixed along the guide groove, so that it can correspond to various positions of the nail to be adjusted.
Although the suction cup is formed as the attachment means in the above-mentioned embodiment, the cover body may be hung on another nail, adhered with an adhesive tape or the like, or other various attachment means for detachably holding may be used. Alternatively, it may be used while being supported by one hand.

FIG. 3 shows another embodiment, in which a cage ball storage case (17) is formed at the tip of the bottom plate (4). Since the gage balls that have been received can be collected in the storage case (17), the adjustment work can be efficiently performed with both hands.

The nail adjusting aid having the above structure is used as follows. 4 and 5 show an example of adjusting the loose nails of the sleeve arranged on the game board by opening the glass frame of the pachinko machine, and guiding grooves for the support rods so that the sucker does not hit the loose nails to be adjusted. The bottom end of the bottom plate (18) is positioned below the winning nail (19) of the winning opening to suck the sucker onto the game board.

Then, from the charging port (6) above the front plate,
When the ball is placed between nails for adjusting, the cage ball naturally falls between the loose nails and falls forward along the bottom plate. In this way, it is possible to see through the front plate how the gage balls fall between the loose nails, so that individual nails can be adjusted appropriately with pliers such as up, down, left and right from the nail adjusting holes of the front plate. .

The above embodiment is an example of adjusting the loose nails of the sleeve, but as shown in FIG. 6, the loose nail adjustment of the upper part of the starter-type starter of the chick type in which the nails are arranged, and other It can also be used for adjusting nails for an appropriate drop accessory.

[0014]

[Effect of the Invention] The present invention is constructed as described above, and the pachinko ball used in the game is regarded as a cage ball, and the
Since you can see how the ball falls between the loose nails, you can make an accurate decision, and you can bend and adjust the nails directly from the adjustment hole with pliers etc. It can be adjusted and the winning rate can be controlled sufficiently.
