Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] << Industrial field of application >> The present invention provides a prize winning device capable of changing a closed state where a pachinko ball cannot win or a difficult closed state and an open state where a pachinko ball easily wins. The present invention relates to a starting winning device for temporarily changing the state of a pachinko ball into its own winning pocket to open it.

<Prior Art> A conventional general starting winning device is a combination of a winning pocket of a pachinko ball and a switch for detecting a pachinko ball in the winning pocket, and the switch is a combination of the winning device. It is connected to a drive circuit, and changes the winning device temporarily into an open state in which it is easy to win a prize by an input signal thereof.

However, in the conventional starting prize winning apparatus, the prize winning pocket and the switch are provided in the proximity position, and the pachinko ball in the prize winning pocket is immediately detected by the switch.

<Problems to be solved by the invention> According to the above-mentioned conventional technology, the pachinko ball that has won in the winning pocket is detected by the switch in an extremely short time, so that the immediate winning device is activated when the starting winning device is won. Then, it changed from the closed state to the open state and immediately returned to the closed state. Therefore, even if the player tries to win a prize on the winning device that is temporarily open by operating the steering wheel, there is no time to spare and the player is very dissatisfied.

<Means for Solving the Problem> In order to solve such a problem, the present invention provides a ball play area in which a pachinko ball can swivel between a prize pocket and a switch for detecting a prized pachinko ball in the prize pocket. The present invention provides a starting winning device for a pachinko machine.

<Operation> The pachinko ball that has entered the prize pocket enters the ball play area and makes a turning motion, and is detected by a switch after a certain time has elapsed from the prize. Therefore, the player can operate the handle while aiming at the winning device while the pachinko ball is turning in the ball play area.

<< Embodiment >> An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

As shown in the exploded perspective view of FIG. 1, the starting winning device A is a mounting base 2 that abuts and is fixed to the player 1 (see FIG. 8).
And a base plate 4 having prize pockets 3R, 3S, 3L, a back cover 5 covering the base plate 4, and a bottom plate member 6 forming a central bottom plate of the back cover 5.

The mounting base 2 is provided with a large window hole 2b in a front plate 2a which is appropriately formed in a decorative shape.
A back frame 2c is provided on the back surface of 2a so as to surround the window 2b.

The middle base 4 is provided with projecting pockets 3R, 3S, 3L projecting from the upper edge of the middle plate 4a, which is slightly larger than the window 2b of the mounting base 2, corresponding to the ball outlets of the winning pockets 3R, 3S, 3L. Ball guide gutter 4
R, 4S, 4L are provided. In the ball guide troughs 4R, 4S, 4L, the ball guide troughs 4R, 4L on both sides are inclined from the center, and the center ball guide trough 4S is inclined toward the right ball guide trough 4R. . The middle base 4 is entirely made of transparent synthetic resin so that the player can see the flow of pachinko balls.

Then, the middle board 4 is fixed so that the surface of the middle plate 4a overlaps with the back surface of the front plate 2a of the mounting board 2.

The back cover 5 is shaped so as to fit inside the back frame 2c of the mounting base 2, and the surrounding frame 5b projectingly provided on the front surface of the rear plate 5a.
And a bulging portion 5c protruding from the center of the rear plate 5a to the rear side. A bottom portion of the bulging portion 5c is notched, and the bottom plate member 6 is fitted into the notched portion. The bottom plate member 6 has a circular concave portion 6a formed on the upper surface thereof, and the bottom wall 6b of the concave portion 6a is formed into a "surveillance" gently sloping toward the center, and the central portion is divided into three equal parts. Ball drop holes 7a, 7b, 7c are provided in the. The bulging portion 5c and the bottom plate member 6 form a ball play area S.

As for the back cover 5, as shown in FIG. 4, the surrounding frame 5b is fitted inside the back frame 2c of the mounting base 2, and the front edge of the surrounding frame 5b is attached to the back surface of the middle plate 4a of the middle base 4. It abuts and is fixed. Therefore, the pachinko balls flowing through the ball guide troughs 4R, 4S, 4L are discharged into the recess 6a of the bottom plate member 6 in the tangential direction thereof.

In addition, the ball dropping holes 7a, 7b, 7c of the bottom plate member 6 are
It communicates with a switch 8 provided on the side, and the switch 8 detects the winning of a pachinko ball.

Although at least one switch 8 is sufficient, for example, one corresponding to the ball dropping holes 7a and 7b and one corresponding to the ball dropping hole 7c are separately provided, and a prize to be described later is given by a signal from one switch 8. More preferably, the device 15 is activated once and the winning device 15 is activated twice by the signal of the other switch 8.

FIG. 8 is a front view of the pachinko machine 9. As is well known, the pachinko machine 9 is a game in which a pachinko ball of a ball dish 10 is driven by operating a handle 11 to hit a game part 1a of a game board 1 to play a game. A large number of obstacle nails 12, 12 ..., prize ball receiving devices 13, 13 ..., and an out port 14 are arranged in the game section 1a. There are various types of winning ball receivers 13, 13, ... The winning device 15 installed in the center and the starting winning device A installed below the winning device 15 are also a form of winning award.

The prize winning device 15 is a well-known device that opens and closes a pair of opening / closing pieces 15a, 15a by driving a solenoid (not shown). In the closed state where the opening / closing pieces 15a, 15a are closed, no pachinko ball wins. In the open state in which the opening / closing pieces 15a, 15a are open, it is easy for a pachinko ball to win. The solenoid of the prize winning device 15 is connected to the switch 8 of the starting prize winning device A, and the opening and closing pieces 15a, 15a are opened for a short time by the input signal of the switch 8 and are set to be in the open state temporarily. hand,
At this time, when the pachinko ball entered between the opening / closing pieces 15a, 15a wins a specific winning opening in the winning device 15, the opening / closing pieces 15a, 15a open / close a certain number of times in succession.

Next, the operation of the starting winning apparatus A of the present invention will be described. The pachinko ball in any of the winning pockets 3R, 3S, 3L flows on the ball guide troughs 4R, 4S, 4L and is guided to the ball play area S. Get burned. Since this pachinko ball is emitted toward the tangential direction of the recess 6a of the bottom plate member 6, initially it rotates along the peripheral edge of the recess 6a by its inertial force. Then, the pachinko ball gradually slows down and falls into one of the ball dropping holes 7a, 7b, 7c, and then is detected by the switch 8 to operate the winning device 15 as described above. The player can operate the handle 11 to prepare for the operation of the winning device 15 before the player wins the prize pockets 3R, 3S, 3L and falls into the ball drop holes 7a, 7b, 7c. In addition, since the player can recognize the flow of the pachinko ball through the window 2b of the mounting base 2, the timing can be more easily measured.

<< Effect of Device >> As described above, according to the starting winning device A of the present invention, since the ball play area S for turning the pachinko ball is provided between the prize pockets 3R, 3S, 3L and the switch 8, the prize pocket 3R, 3S, 3L
There is a time margin between the winning of the prize and the operation of the winning device 15, which allows the player to operate the handle to prepare for the operation of the winning device 15, increasing the interest of the game. It can be planned.
