Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a one-ball game machine, and more particularly to a pinball game machine in which balls in a ball tray placed at the lower front of the game machine body are fired from any direction above the game board onto the board surface. It is related to the machine.

Conventionally, 211 balls are fired from the upper part of the game board onto the board surface.
There are two types of pinball game machines: one in which a ball tray is installed at the top of the machine body and the balls hit from the ball tray are fired onto the board, and the other is a general game machine in which the firing device is located at the bottom. A double system is known in which a ball tray is placed 111EIIm below the main body like Nioka, and game balls other than the balls in the ball tray are fired onto the board. In the former case, the ball tray is installed on the back of the game board, and from the relative positional relationship with the prize ball discharging mechanism, it is difficult to guide the prize balls discharged for each winning ball to the ball tray. It is impossible to do so, and there is the inconvenience of having to replenish balls into the ball tray at the second time.Also, the metal base body is not in harmony and the appearance is bad. *It wasn't worth using. On the other hand, the latter requires a mechanism that matches the balls in the ball tray and the game balls in pairs to the tip so that the number of game balls synchronized with the number of balls W in the ball tray is released. It has the rumored disadvantage that the structure is complicated and expensive. Furthermore, the most problematic thing is that game balls that are different from the rented balls purchased by players are fired onto the board, so players can play games without using rented balls and win 111 prize balls, which is a type of fraud. This means that it is easy.

The present invention has been made in order to solve the above-mentioned drawbacks, and it is possible to remove the rented balls stored in the ball tray at the bottom of the gaming machine main body by transferring them to the launching device located at the upper part of the gaming board. By Suikok, so that the ball can be loaded and fired onto the board,
It is an extremely effective method that does not require a complicated pulpit/equipment/horizontal structure, and can be used in a general pinball game machine where the firing device is located below the game board. The purpose is to provide a highly versatile pinball game machine.

An example of implementing the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

Therefore, a ball launching device 1 is provided on the upper side of the game board 10.
A plurality of winning ball slots 8 are arranged on the game board surface, which is defined by an arc-shaped guide frame, and an out ball slot is also provided. Below the game board 3, there is a) IIIJ! The ball outlet uWc of the ball tray and the ball outlet communicate with each other to guide the balls in a line to the lift (a gently sloping rectifying gutter is located).

At the inactive position of the firing control lever shown in Fig. 5, the end of the introduction passage arm is placed in the suspension piece 4 that is in contact with one of the parents. It is constructed by integrally providing a ball receiving part 4 for sending out a ball of a bond.

In Figure 13, a pulley is attached to the shaft of the handle lever, one end of the firing wire is connected to the handle lever, and the other end of the wire is fired through the pulley member and the pulley. It is connected to the rear end of the control lever crown.

Fig. 7 shows the details of the lift theory, and shows that a gear with a convex shape on the outer periphery that is approximately parallel to the diameter of the ball is attached to the output shaft of the doffing motor. The lower part is surrounded by an arc-shaped guide frame to clean the lower part ■ that communicates with the rectifying gutter ν, and the upper end is placed above the intestine of the passage part 1.
The lifting pipe that communicates with the introduction passageway is directly passed through, and by driving the doffing pipe in fixed rotation, the balls flowing into the rectifying gutter ν are bitten into the irregularities on the outer periphery of the gear barrel and moved upward. It is to be transported. In addition, an earth pressure sensing lever is mounted on the upper end of the lifting pipe, one end of which is swingably supported by a shaft, and an earth pressure sensing switch is mounted at the earth storage position. is flying with a new face, and the unloaded pie γ-
When the love ball senses the earth pressure and comes into contact with the bar @E and pushes it upward, the switch is operated to stop the doffing motor. In addition, a ball detection switch is provided at the upstream end of the rectifying gutter ν, and a ball receiving tray and a ball detection switch are provided.
When the ball falls on it, it will be activated to start the doffing song. Other Kachuka is launch position wII
Miro and Yu respectively show the return passages provided at

The present invention is a stone product having a structure similar to that of a master, and its function will be explained next.

In the present invention, a certain number of balls that are kept continuously from the upstream end of the rectifying fence to the east end of the introduction passage are always kept as retained balls. However, when the player puts the ball into the ball tray, it flows out from the outlet U into the rectifying gutter U, and the ball detection switch -
When I closed the doffing command and started the doffing command, I moved the handle lever l downward at the 20-shaped part, and the tsuiyama was pulled through the constant boo on its shaft, and the 4th WA's In this way, the Jll shot control lever is swung downward against the proverbial tension. As a result, the firing hammer j moves to the firing position shown in Fig. 6 through the shield, and the swinging road board also moves to the firing position shown in Figure 6.
As shown in Fig. 1, the engagement piece is pushed by the cam at the end of the firing control lever and swings upward as shown in Figure 1.
is moved upward from the end of the introduced ball, and the ball holder C is aligned with the end, and the leading ball 1 is inserted into the ball and held at that position.

Next, the firing control lever moves back as shown in Fig. 3 due to the biasing action of the handle lever ut and the four springs l, and the firing lever performs the firing operation, and at the same time, the swinging main road plate a is also moved by the cam single parent. Therefore, the ball B, which was held in the ball receiving part ζ, is released from the push-up state and moves backward by its own weight as in the jWA, and sends the ball B held in the ball receiving part ζ from the supply opening cylinder to the firing position lI. Therefore, when the handle is operated for the first time, the firing position is Since the ball is not supplied to the ball, it will be a blank shot, but after that, by operating the handle and the lever, the ball will be delivered to the firing position and be fired onto the board. Then, because there are no balls in the ball tray and the ball detection switch is activated, the command for lifting balls stops, and balls are no longer supplied to the firing position 3 from now on.

In addition, if the game is interrupted or the moth is fired, the firing motion is faster or different than the fixed firing rate per unit time limited by @J@ of the doffing Ml page - Yuuta, and the ball is not hit. If it is not sent to the firing position, the ball of the lifting piboo *S pushed upward by the doffing motor coil senses the earth pressure and contacts the bar @E ridge, causing it to move as shown by the chain line in Figure 1. Push it upwards, thereby opening the layer pressure g level switch value and stopping the doffing and motor control.

In addition, in the 1-shot book, a manual pinball game machine was explained as an example in which the handle lever LT is operated to fire the firing hammer with a ramie, but it is also possible to fire the 1-shot hammer I with the rotational force of the motor. Second, I replaced it with an electric pinball game machine.
Needless to say.

In this case, the command for doffing is the firing action 11 of a firing hammer.
The earth pressure sensing lever and the earth pressure sensing switch are not required.

As mentioned above, according to 20*H, a firing device is provided at the upper side of the game machine, a ball tray is installed at the lower part of the game body, and the ball tray and seven shooting devices are installed in a doffing lift. The ball placed in the ball tray was made to fire onto the 1000-ball game board in relation to the firing action of the firing hammer, so the balls placed in the ball tray were prepared separately from the balls placed in the ball tray. There is no need for a complicated mechanism to match the balls in the ball tray with the game balls, as in the case of the Juto-style pinball game machine that fires the game balls onto the board, and the structure of the metal body This greatly simplifies the process and allows for cheaper production, while significantly reducing the number of malfunctions and the like.
