2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, as is well known, a batting ball supply tray and a lower ball receiving tray are provided on the front side of a front frame of a pachinko machine. In addition, when the pachinko balls are filled in the hitting ball supply tray, they overflow into the lower ball receiving tray via the ball passage.

In the above-mentioned conventional pachinko machine, since the ball passage connecting the hitting ball supply tray and the lower ball receiving tray is formed vertically, the pachinko ball dropped to the bottom of the ball passage vigorously moves to the lower ball receiving tray. This often caused the water to flow out and jump out from the lower ball saucer, which was annoying to the player.

The present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and an object thereof is to alleviate the flow force of a pachinko ball overflowing from a hitting ball supply tray and flowing out to a lower ball receiving tray. It is to provide a pachinko machine in which the pachinko ball does not jump out of the lower ball saucer.

[0005]

In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, the present invention guides a pachinko ball paid out from a pachinko ball payout device to a batting ball supply tray and overflows the pachinko ball from the batting ball supply tray. In a pachinko machine equipped with a ball passage for guiding the lower ball saucer to the lower ball saucer, the bottom upper surface of the ball passage connecting to the ball outlet of the lower ball saucer is formed in a mountain shape with the center being raised, whereby the ball passage falls to the lower part. It is designed to relieve the flow of pachinko balls that flow into the ball saucer.

The bottom portion of the ball passage is formed by providing a first bottom portion directly receiving a pachinko ball falling in the ball passage and a second bottom portion connected to the ball outlet of the lower ball tray in a stepped shape. It is preferable that the upper surface of the second bottom portion is formed in a mountain shape.

Further, it is preferable to mount a metal plate on the inner side of the first bottom portion in order to prevent abrasion and damage due to dropping of the pachinko ball.

In the pachinko machine constructed as described above, the outflow direction of the pachinko ball that overflows from the hitting ball supply tray and falls in the ball passage is changed to the left and right lateral directions by the bottom portion formed in the mountain shape. Become. For this reason,
Since the flow of the pachinko balls flowing out from the ball outlet to the lower ball saucer will be alleviated, the pachinko balls flowing out to the lower ball saucer will not be forced to jump out.

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION Next, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. 1 is a front view of a pachinko machine to which the present invention is applied, and FIG. 2 is a rear view of the pachinko machine of FIG. In FIG. 1, a pachinko machine 1 has a front frame 3 that is openably and closably mounted on a front surface of a machine frame 2. A glass frame 4 is openably and closably attached to the front surface of the front frame 3. Further, below the front frame 3, the pachinko balls dispensed from a pachinko ball dispensing device 14 described later are stored, and the batting ball supply tray 5 for guiding the pachinko balls to the firing position and the batting ball supply tray 5 are filled. A lower ball tray 6 for storing overflowing pachinko balls and an operation handle 7 for adjusting the resilience of the pachinko balls fired from the firing position are provided.

On the other hand, in FIG. 2, a game board mounting frame 8 made of synthetic resin is fixed to the back surface of the front frame 3. A game board 9 is detachably attached to the game board mounting frame 8. A mechanism plate 10 made of synthetic resin is attached to the back surface of the game board 9 so as to be openable and closable. A ball tank 11 is fixed to the upper part of the back surface of the mechanism plate 10. Below the ball tank 11, the ball tank 11
A tank rail 12 is provided that aligns and guides the pachinko balls stored in. The downstream end of the tank rail 12 is connected to a pachinko ball dispensing device 14 via a curve rail 13 for weakening the ball pressure. Therefore, the ball tank 1
1 pachinko ball is tank rail 12 and curved rail 1
It is guided to the pachinko ball payout device 14 while being aligned by 3.

A ball passage 15 is provided below the pachinko ball dispensing device 14. The ball passage 15 guides the pachinko balls dispensed from the pachinko ball dispensing device 14 to the opening 1.
6, a discharge passage portion 15a that leads to the hitting ball supply tray 5 and a vertical passage portion that guides an excess pachinko ball overflowing from one side of the guide opening 16 to the lower ball receiving tray 6 by filling the hitting ball supply tray 5 with the pachinko balls. 15b. The bottom portion 17 of the vertical passage portion 15b is formed separately from the mechanism plate 10, and is fixed to the lower portion of the back surface of the front frame 3.

In the present embodiment, the bottom portion 17 of the ball passage 15 is a vertical passage portion 15b as shown in FIGS.
First bottom portion 17 that directly receives a pachinko ball that falls
a and a second bottom portion 17b for guiding the pachinko ball flowing down from the first bottom portion 17a from the ball outlet 18 formed in the front frame 3 to the lower ball receiving tray 6 are provided in a stepped shape.

Therefore, in the present invention, the lower ball receiving tray 6 is used.
The upper surface of the second bottom portion 17b of the sphere passage 15 connected to the sphere outlet 18 is formed in a mountain shape having a high center, and due to this mountain shape, the outflow direction of the pachinko spheres flowing down from the first bottom portion 17a is laterally crossed from the center. It is designed to change in the direction. A metal plate 19 is attached to the inside of the first bottom portion 17a to protect the upper surface of the first bottom portion 17a from being worn or damaged by a falling pachinko ball.

The present invention is configured as described above, and the pachinko ball dispensed from the pachinko ball dispensing device 14 falls into the discharge passage portion 15a of the ball passage 15 and is guided from the guide opening 16 to the hitting ball supply tray 5. Get burned. On the other hand, when the batting ball supply tray 5 is filled with pachinko balls, the surplus balls overflow from one side of the guide opening 16 and are guided to the vertical passage portion 15b. Then, the pachinko ball falling through the vertical passage portion 15b is received by the first bottom portion 17a, then flows down to the second bottom portion 17b, and flows out from the ball outlet 18 to the lower ball receiving tray 6. At this time, the pachinko ball that flows down from the first bottom portion 17a to the second bottom portion 17b has its outflow direction changed from the center to the left and right lateral directions due to the chevron shape of the upper surface of the second bottom portion 17b. The flow of the pachinko balls flowing from 18 to the lower ball saucer 6 is remarkably reduced. Therefore, there is no possibility that the pachinko balls overflowing from the hitting ball supply tray 5 and guided to the lower ball receiving tray 6 rush to the outside of the lower ball receiving tray 6.

[0015]

As is apparent from the above description, the pachinko machine according to the present invention receives the pachinko balls overflowing from the hitting ball supply tray and flowing out to the lower ball receiving tray at the bottom of the ball passage formed in the mountain shape. In this way, I decided to change the outflow direction of the pachinko ball to the left and right lateral direction,
It is possible to remarkably reduce the flow force of the pachinko balls flowing out to the lower ball saucer, and it is possible to reliably prevent the situation where the pachinko balls flowing out to the lower ball saucer are forced to jump out.
