Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To improve interest in the movement of PACHINKO balls by remarkably varying the actions of PACHINKO balls. SOLUTION: A rotary panel 16 is mounted on a play panel, and three rotary nails 19 are driven into the rotary panel 16. In this case, when a PACHINKO ball A hits the rotary nail 19, because of a little position deviation between the PACHINKO ball A and the rotary nail 19, the reflecting direction of PACHINKO ball A is changed. Further, since impulse force is operated from the PACHINKO ball A through the rotary nail 19 onto the rotary panel 16 and the rotary panel 16 is rotated, the position of rotary nail 19 is always changed. Therefore, since the reflecting direction of PACHINKO ball A is remarkably widened and the action of PACHINKO ball A is remarkably varied, interest in the motion of PACHINKO ball A is improved.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a pachinko machine having a structure for changing the behavior of a pachinko ball.

[0002]

There is a pachinko machine in which a pachinko ball hits an upper windmill and then hits a lower obstacle nail. In the case of this configuration, when the pachinko ball hits the windmill, the direction and speed of the fall of the pachinko ball change, so that the collision direction and speed of the pachinko ball against the obstacle nail vary, giving a change to the behavior of the pachinko ball. Can be However, since the windmill has a configuration in which only three flat plates are radially combined, there is a limit in changing the behavior of the pachinko ball by the windmill.

It is characterized by having the following pins.

According to the above-mentioned means, the pachinko ball hits the peripheral surface of the small pin instead of the plane having a certain size like a windmill. The reflection direction changes greatly. Moreover, since the position of the pin changes with the rotation of the rotating body, variations in the reflection direction of the pachinko ball increase, and the movement of the pachinko ball becomes more interesting. Further, since the number of pins is set to three or less, even when the size of the rotating body is set to be equal to that of the windmill, the distance between the pins can be made sufficiently large. For this reason, as described above, the pachinko ball collides with the pin, and the variation in the reflection direction of the pachinko ball increases, so that the rotating body is compact and can be easily used in place of the windmill.

The pachinko machine according to a second aspect is characterized in that a restraining mechanism for restraining rotation of the rotating body in one direction is provided. According to the above means, when an impact force is applied to the pin from the pachinko ball in one direction, the rotation of the rotating body is restricted, so that the reflection direction of the pachinko ball changes greatly.
Further, when an impact force is applied to the pin from the pachinko ball in the other direction, the position of the pin changes with the rotation of the rotating body, so that the variation of the reflection direction of the pachinko ball increases. For this reason, the behavior of the pachinko ball is changed, and the fun is further enhanced.

A pachinko machine according to a third aspect is characterized in that a driving source for driving a rotating body is provided. According to the above-described means, since the reflection direction and the reflection speed of the pachinko ball change due to the difference between the rotation direction of the rotating body and the collision direction of the pachinko ball, the fun is further enhanced.

A pachinko machine according to a fourth aspect is characterized in that the rotating body is driven intermittently. According to the above means,
When the rotating body is driven, a change occurs in the reflection direction and the reflection speed of the pachinko ball due to the difference between the rotation direction of the rotating body and the collision direction of the pachinko ball. In addition, when the rotating body is stopped, the pachinko ball reflects in various directions according to the position of the pin, so that the fun is generally further enhanced.

The pachinko machine according to claim 5 is characterized in that the rotating body is driven in both forward and reverse directions. According to the above means, the rotation direction of the rotating body changes in the forward and reverse directions, and a large change occurs in the reflection direction and the reflection speed of the pachinko ball, so that the fun is further enhanced.

[0053]

As is apparent from the above description, the pachinko machine of the present invention has the following effects. According to the first aspect of the present invention, since the rotating body having the pin is mounted on the game board, the reflection direction of the pachinko ball changes due to a slight shift of the collision position between the pachinko ball and the pin. In addition, the position of the pin changes with the rotation of the rotating body, and the variation in the reflection direction of the pachinko ball increases, so that a large change occurs in the behavior of the pachinko ball, and as a result, the movement of the pachinko ball becomes more interesting. In addition, since the number of pins is set to three or less, a compact rotating body can be easily used instead of a windmill.

According to the second aspect, the rotation of the rotating body in one direction is restricted. For this reason, the behavior of the pachinko ball changes depending on the direction in which the pachinko ball collides with the pin, and the fun is further enhanced. According to the third aspect, the rotating body is driven by the driving source. For this reason,
The difference between the rotation direction of the rotating body and the collision direction of the pachinko ball causes a change in the reflection direction and the reflection speed of the pachinko ball, which further enhances the fun.

According to the fourth aspect of the present invention, since the rotating body is driven intermittently, when the rotating body is driven, the direction of reflection of the pachinko ball depends on the difference between the rotating direction of the rotating body and the collision direction of the pachinko ball. And the reflection speed changes. In addition, when the rotating body is stopped, the pachinko ball reflects in various directions according to the position of the pin, so that the fun is generally further enhanced. According to the means described in claim 5, the rotation direction of the rotating body is changed in the forward and reverse directions. For this reason, a large change occurs in the reflection direction and the reflection speed of the pachinko sphere, and the fun is further enhanced.
