Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a pinball game machine, and more particularly, the present invention relates to a pinball game machine, and more particularly, the tip of a rebound plate formed by bending an elastic material into a U-shape is attached to the lower end of the upper safe hole to a required length. a first chucker with a ball receiving frame protruding from the lower end of the safe hole on the lower side; and a rebound plate formed by bending an elastic material into a U-shape at the lower end of the single safe hole. A second chucker in which the tip of the ball is made to protrude a required length; and an obstacle that is formed by bending an elastic material into a U-shape and causes the tip to protrude the required length above the board surface, causing the batted ball to fall irregularly. and a rebound board made by bending an elastic material into a U-shape and having the tip protrude a required length above the board surface to repel the batted ball toward the center of the board surface, respectively. The present invention relates to a pinball game machine in which the base of the bouncing board can be adjusted to move back and forth in the direction of the board, and the protruding length of the tip thereof can be adjusted.

In conventional pinball game machines, obstacle nails are used to make the falling path of the ball irregular. However, with this obstacle nail, the ball falls little by little, and the falling path is almost predictable, so the game lacks a lot of excitement. Therefore, the present invention introduces a new falling path that cannot be predicted from the falling path of a ball hit by a conventional blocking nail by using an elastic rebound board in place of the blocking nail that has been used in the past. The aim is to further increase the interest in playing games.

That is, according to the present invention, when a batted ball falls on the rebound board, it bounces significantly upward, diagonally upward, etc., and travels in completely unpredictable directions. Therefore, by making the flying direction completely unpredictable and making large bounces, it is possible to add variety to the falling path.
The chuck car also has a spring plate protruding from the lower part of the safe hole instead of the conventional receiving frame, so the ball will not enter the ball unless it falls at the right time, making the game more interesting.

Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in more detail with reference to illustrated embodiments.

1 is a handle for launching the ball, 2 is the board surface, 3 is a guiding wall that guides the ball to the board surface, 4, 4 is the first chucker arranged in tandem in the center of the board surface, and the lower end of the safe hole 5 on the upper side Several tips of rebound plates, which will be described later, are juxtaposed and protruded from the section. Further, a receiving frame 7 is provided protruding from the lower end of the safe hole 6 on the lower side. In this embodiment, the first chuckers 4, 4 are integrally formed with the substrate 8, but it is needless to say that the present invention is not limited to this. 9, which is formed by bending an elastic plate such as celluloid into a U-shape as shown in Fig. 3. In addition, the tip 9a and the base 9 of the rebound board
It is desirable that the opening degree l of b be parallel or slightly wider. The base 9b of the rebound plate 9 is provided protruding from the back surface of the substrate 8, and has a screw hole 10 for screwing in a screw described later in the center thereof, and a protrusion 11 extending in the axial direction on the outer periphery of the lower end. cylindrical body 12
The screw 14 is screwed into the screw hole 13 carved in the center to allow adjustment of movement back and forth (left and right directions in FIG. 4). (See Figures 4 and 5.) Further, 15 is a spring washer. 16, 16 are second chuckers, which are appropriately arranged on both sides of the first chuckers 4, 4. The second chucker is the same as the first chucker except that it does not have the safety hole on the lower side of the first chucker, so a detailed explanation will be omitted. Reference numerals 17 and 17 designate obstacle rebound boards that are provided to cause the batted ball to fall irregularly, and several boards are arranged in parallel at appropriate locations on the board surface. still,
The method of attaching the obstacle bounce board is the same as that of the first chucker, so a detailed explanation will be omitted. Reference numerals 18 and 18 indicate rebound boards for repelling the batted ball toward the center of the board, and a large number of them are arranged side by side in a comb-like shape at both ends of the board. Further, since the method of attaching the bounce board is the same as that of the first chucker, detailed explanation will be omitted (see Fig. 6). Moreover, the rebound board 9,
17 and 18 can also be configured as shown in FIG. 7, for example. That is, the movable contact plate 1 has elasticity.
A switch 21 consisting of a contact plate 9 and a fixed contact plate 20 is provided on the rebound plates 9, 17, 18, and when the tips of the bounce plates 9, 17, 18 fall under the weight of the falling ball, the movable contact plate 1
By pressing down the contact plate 9 to bring it into contact with the fixed contact plate 20 to close it, it is possible to turn on the light or emit a predetermined sound, for example, thereby further increasing the interest of the game.

It should be noted that the configuration of the present invention other than the above is the same as that of a conventional pinball game machine, so a detailed explanation will be omitted.

The mode of operation of the present invention having the above configuration will be explained below.

A ball (not shown) launched onto the board surface 2 by the launch handle 1 hits the obstacle bounce board 17 and falls while bouncing irregularly. In the middle of this, when the ball becomes as shown in Figure 8, the ball enters the chucker's safe hole and becomes a safe ball. That is, a batted ball enters the ball by falling from directly above as shown in FIG. As before, a ball that does not enter the safe hole is considered an out ball. In addition, to adjust the bounce of a batted ball, the rebound boards 9, 17, and 18 are moved back and forth (in the left-right direction in Figure 4) to increase or decrease the protrusion from the board surface. Screw hole 13 in base 9b of
This is done by turning the screw 14 screwed into either left or right.

Since the present invention has the above-mentioned structure and operation, the ball bounces greatly on the obstacle rebound board and flies in completely unpredictable directions, making it possible to provide variety in the falling path of the ball.
In addition, since the chuck car also has a bounce plate protruding from the lower end of the safe hole, rather than a conventional receiving frame, the direction of the bounce plate should be taken into account to determine whether or not the ball will easily enter the ball. Along with the fun of guessing, there is also the possibility that the player will jump upwards and join other players, further increasing the interest of the game.
