Description

[Detailed description of the invention] This invention places a light-emitting device behind a dark-colored synthetic resin plate, and a sheet with a plurality of different patterns, figures, etc. drawn on it is placed between the plate and the light-emitting device at the stop position. The present invention relates to a display device for a pachinko machine that is provided so as to be convertible.

The display device installed on the surface of the game board of a pachinko machine is, for example, a lamp housed inside a translucent synthetic resin case that lights up or blinks, or a transparent synthetic resin plate that has been treated with black smotz and that draws patterns or figures. Some devices have a lamp located at the rear, and are solid black when the lamp is off, and a pattern or figure is visible when the lamp is on. However, in either display device, the pattern or figure on the case or plate simply flashes when the lamp flashes, so there is little change and the decorative effect is small.
Furthermore, since the lamp can only be changed in two modes, i.e., on and off, it cannot be used, for example, as a special game display in a pachinko machine that allows special games to be played by external operation.

The present invention was proposed in view of the above, and by interposing a sheet with a plurality of patterns, etc. drawn between the plate and the light-emitting device, changing the stopping position of the sheet, and lighting or blinking the light-emitting device. The present invention aims to provide a display device that can visually display different displays and is valuable not only for its display function but also for its decorative function.

The present invention will be explained below based on the drawings of the embodiments. The surface of the game board 2 of the pachinko machine 1 has a game section 4 surrounded by a guide rail 3 for hitting balls, and the game section 4 has numerous obstacle nails ( (not shown) and a plurality of variable winning devices 5 that convert a state in which it is difficult for a batted ball to enter into a state in which it is easy to enter by operating a solenoid, and a specific winning hole 6.
and a game device 7.

The display device 8 of the present invention is built into the inside of the game device 7, and for example, a dark color processing layer 10 is provided on the surface of a light-transmitting plate (transparent synthetic resin plate, glass, etc.) 9. A colored layer 11 is formed on the back side of the plate 9, a light emitting device (lamp, light emitting diode, etc.) 12 is arranged on the back side of the plate 9, and a sheet 13 is provided at an interval between the plate 9 and the light emitting device 12 so that the stop position can be changed freely. That's what happens. The dark colored layer 10 described above is formed by smogging or blacking out black or dark brown on the surface of the plate 9, and the colored layer 11 has a color different from that of the dark colored layer 10 (for example, green). Formed with paint.

Therefore, the entire surface of the plate 9 has a dark colored layer 10 formed by smog treatment, and the entire back surface has a colored layer 11 of different colors. and plate 9
When the light emitting device 12 placed on the back side of is off,
Only the dark-colored treated layer 10 can be observed from the front side of the plate 9, and the colored layer 11 and the sheet 13 located inside the plate 9 cannot be seen.

The sheet 13 is divided into a light-transmitting part and a light-shielding part to draw a plurality of characters, figures, etc., and the end is directly or indirectly connected to an actuating source 14 (for example, an electromagnetic solenoid) to set it at a stop position. The embodiment shown in FIGS. 2 and 3 is a sheet in which light-transmissive displays 15a and 15b formed in a heart shape and a clover shape are provided in the space between the plate 9 and the light emitting device 12. 13 is connected to an operating source 14 to intervene. When the operating source 14 is demagnetized, the heart-shaped display 15a is located at a spacing between the plate 9 and the light emitting device 12, and when the light emitting device 12 is turned on or flashed at this time, the light from the light emitting device 12 is reflected in the heart-shaped display 15a. All light except for the light that passes through is blocked by the light blocking portion 13' of the sheet 13. Therefore, a heart-shaped beam of light is projected onto the back surface of the plate 9, and a heart shape colored by the colored layer 11 clearly appears on the surface of the plate 9.

Further, when the actuation source 14 is energized, the sheet 13 is moved by the action of the actuation source 14, as shown in FIG. At this time, luminous device 1
2 is turned on or blinks, all of the light from the light emitting device 12 is blocked by the light blocking portion 13' of the sheet 13, except for the light that passes through the clover-shaped display 15b. Therefore, a clover-shaped light beam is projected onto the back surface of the plate 9, and a clover shape colored by the colored layer 11 clearly appears on the surface of the plate 9. As described above, in the embodiments shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, two different types of display can be performed by changing the stop position of the seat 13 by the action of the actuating source 14. Note that if the light emitting device 12 is covered with the tube member 16 and the opening end of the tube member 16 is directed toward the plate 9, the light emitted when the display devices 8 are arranged side by side will not affect the other display devices 8.

The embodiment shown in FIG.

In the first state where the first actuation source 14a and the second actuation source 14b are demagnetized, the urging forces of the spring 14a' and the spring 14b' are balanced, so the connecting rod 17 is in a neutral state, and the connecting rod 1
The protrusion 17' of 7 is fitted into the groove 19' of the brake piece 19 fixed to the bracket frame 18, and the seat 13 is moved to the proper position, that is, the display 15b is positioned at the opposing interval between the plate 9 and the light emitting device 12. 13 is stopped. When the light emitting device 12 is turned on or flashed in this first state, a display 1 is displayed on the front side of the plate 9.
The letter B of 5b appears. and the first operating source 14
When a is energized, the sheet 13 moves to the left and changes to a second state where the letter C of the display 15c is located at the opposing interval between the plate 9 and the light emitting device 12 and stops.
When the light emitting device 12 is turned on or blinked in this second state, the letter C appears on the front side of the plate 9. When the first operating source 14a is demagnetized, the connecting rod 17 is moved back to the right by the bias of the return spring 14a', returning to the first state. Furthermore, when the second operating source 14b is energized in the first state, the sheet 13 moves to the right, and the plate 9 and the light emitting device 12
The state is converted to a third state in which the character A according to the display 15a is located at the facing interval of . Light-emitting device 1 in the third state
When 2 is turned on or blinked, the letter A appears on the front side of the plate 9 as indicated by the display 15a. As described above, the embodiment shown in FIG. 4 can appropriately display the three different types of displays A, B, and C, thereby making the game more interesting and enhancing the decorative effect.

In addition, when displaying three or more types, the fifth
As shown in the figure, the actuation source 14 rotates in stages.
A sheet 13 with a plurality of markings A, B, C, and D is attached to the output shaft 20 of a motor (for example, a step motor), and is positioned at a spacing between the plate 9 and the light emitting device 12 by rotation of the operating source 14. The display 15 may be converted as appropriate.

Note that the plurality of indications 15 applied to the sheet 13 are not limited to figures, patterns, and characters, but may be formed of translucent members applied with a plurality of different colors. With this configuration, a color that is a combination of the color of the colored layer 11 and the color of the sheet 13 appears on the front side of the plate 9 each time the sheet 13 moves, which particularly enhances the decorative effect.

As explained above, according to the present invention, the operating source 1
By demagnetizing or energizing 4, the stop position of the sheet 13 can be changed and the display 15 located at the opposing interval between the plate 9 and the light emitting device 12 can be changed as appropriate. Different displays can be visually displayed, which not only makes the game more interesting, but also can be used when incorporating another game into the pachinko game, and can enhance the decorative effect.

FIG. 6 and subsequent figures show a case where the display device 8 of the present invention described above is incorporated into the game device 7.

This game device 7 has a base frame 21 provided on the game board 2.
It is composed of The base frame 21 is made up of a frame part 22 with open front and rear sides and a flange part 23 provided on the front surface of the frame part 22, and is attached by fixing the flange part 23 to the surface of the game board 2. Above the surface of the flange part 23, three passing frames 24 for batted balls with open upper and lower ends are arranged in parallel, and a detector 25 for detecting passage of a batted ball faces each passing frame 24. A transparent plate 26 is provided on the front surface of the frame portion 22 to prevent a batted ball from entering the frame portion 22, and a plate 9, which is a part of the component of the display device, is provided on the rear surface. This plate 9 has a dark-colored treated layer and a colored layer, and the colored layers are particularly formed in three rows in the vertical direction and five columns in the horizontal direction. Also, behind the plate 9 is a bracket frame 1.
8, and the bracket frame 18 has 3 rows vertically and 5 rows horizontally.
The rows of cylindrical members 16 are provided to protrude forward, and the bracket frame 1 is
Light emitting devices 12 arranged in 3 rows and 5 rows are provided on a base 27 provided on the back surface of 8, and each is housed in a cylindrical member 16. An electromagnet 14 as an operating source is provided on the surface of the bracket frame 18 for each row of light emitting devices 12, and each electromagnet 1
A seat 13 for each light emitting device 12 is provided on a connecting rod 17 that can be moved laterally and connected to the excitation rod 28 of No. 4,
When the electromagnet 14 is in a demagnetized state, the display A of the sheet 13 is at the first position where it stops at the opposing interval between the plate 9 and the light emitting device 12, and when the electromagnet 14 is energized, the sheet 1
3 is set so that the display B is at the second position within the facing interval between the plate 9 and the light emitting device 12.

Therefore, 15 display devices 8 each consisting of a light-transmitting plate 9, a light-emitting device 12, and a sheet 13 are incorporated into the game device 7, arranged in three rows and five columns. They are shared by a plate on the rear. Further, the electromagnet as the operating source is shared by each row of display devices, and when the electromagnet is energized or demagnetized, the display of each horizontally arranged display device changes simultaneously.

In the game device 7 described above, the game state is as follows when the colored layer of the plate 9 is green and the sheet 13 is a colorless display A and a red display B. That is, in a normal state, among the 15 display devices, the light emitting devices 12 of each display device are turned on and moved at random, and the display A of the lighted display device stands out in green. And while playing pachinko, the ball is hit into a specific winning hole 6.
When entering, the light emitting device of the display device that was lit went out.
The entire plate 9 becomes black, and this state continues for a certain period of time (for example, 15 seconds).

During this fixed period of time, the player successively hits the ball, but when the ball passes through the passing frame 24, the detector 25 detects it, and the vertical display device located below the passing frame 24 detects the ball passing through the passing frame 24. The upper display device is turned on to display green display A. For example, if 4 batted balls pass through 1 passing frame within a certain period of time,
The top four of the corresponding column displays are displayed. When the row display device also lights up and the green display A is displayed, that is, when at least one batted ball passes through each passing frame, the electromagnet in the top row is energized and moves the sheet from the first position to the second position. , and the display devices in all rows are changed to display B, which is yellow, which is a combination of green and red. Therefore, if the batted ball passes through each passing frame equally within a certain period of time, the number of display devices in the row that changes to yellow display B will increase. For example, if four batted balls pass through the leftmost passing frame, five through the center passing frame, and four batted balls through the rightmost passing frame, the display devices in the four horizontal rows will display a yellow display B, and the center vertical The display device at the bottom of the row is displaying green display A.

When the fixed time period ends, the number of row display devices that have changed to yellow display B is 4 in the above example.
The variable prize winning devices 5 convert the state into a state in which they can easily accept the batted ball, and each display device returns to the normal state in which the green display A is displayed at random. It is also possible to return only the display device to its normal state when a certain period of time has elapsed, and to change the variable prize winning device when the player operates an external switch. This is more interesting as a game other than pachinko.

The game device described above is operated by an electric control device provided on the back side of the pachinko machine, and the detection of the passage of a batted ball, the lighting and extinguishing of the light emitting device, and the operation of the operating source are all processed electrically.

The game device described above is one embodiment of the display device of the present invention, and the display device can be applied to various game devices and display functions. In addition, the seat can not only move vertically or horizontally, but also change its stopping position step by step by rotating the seat around its axis, so the actuating source can be not only electromagnets but also step motors, cams, link mechanisms, etc. can be used. In addition, the sheet may be a transparent sheet material with a light-shielding pattern printed on it, or it may be a black sheet with a dark-colored treated layer on both sides and a light-transmitting part within the thickness of the treated layer. It may be processed out.
