Description

Vending ball game machine.

Object of the invention

The present invention, as expressed in the statement of this specification, refers to a ball vending game machine, which involves significant and advantageous characteristics compared to those that currently exist for the same purpose and that we can consider as its kind.

It is therefore a recreational machine with the particularity of being at the same time a ball vending machine.

The machine is put into operation in the usual way, by introducing a coin and obtaining the ball, after the play is safe, the balls are visibly arranged through a sample panel on the front of the machine.

Description of the invention

In general, the ball vending game machine, which is the object of the invention, has a housing with a horizontal cover through which the game is made visible, on said housing there is also a joystick with the that the maneuverability of the game becomes possible.

The game takes place on a horizontal plate intertwined by several wooden slats arranged in the form of a maze; once a coin has been introduced through the corresponding coin purse, a 32 mm ball slides through a channel to the exit to the labyrinth plate;

by means of a joystick, the maze plate is manipulated, thus carrying the ball to the end of its path, where there is a hole where the ball falls by its own weight, and can be picked up by the user in an external tank; This machine complements and characterizes it in turn for being the only one of its kind equipped with a motion sensor that activates the lighting of 8 LEDs carefully placed to perfectly illuminate the machine and also demand the user's attention. These LEDs will go out after 60 seconds have passed, until movement is detected that puts them back into operation.

To facilitate the understanding of the features of the invention and forming an integral part in this descriptive manner, a sheet of drawings is attached in whose unique figure, for illustrative and non-limiting purposes, the following have been represented: Brief description of the drawings

Figure 1. It is a perspective view of a ball vending game machine, in accordance with the invention. Description of the preferred embodiment Referring to the numbering adopted in the figure, we can see how the ball vending game machine, which the invention proposes, incorporates as other of its type a housing (1) in which a sample stand out front (5) where the balls that can be visibly striking are housed, is also provided with a horizontal panel (2) or base cover, where the labyrinth plate is displayed through said cover, (10) to finish the composite of said machine is supported solid metal surface called leg (3) to which in turn

collection deposit (11). During this game, said invention will be illuminated by several LEDs (8) that will be lit thanks to a motion sensor, placed at the bottom

50 joystick (9) with which we give mobility to the labyrinth plate (10), thus moving the ball (14) to travel the labyrinth and reach the end where it falls to what we have called the end hole (12) the ball ( 14) reaches through an inner channel to the

base (4) that offers all the support and stability to the housing (1) has in its upper front part of the game with the handling of the

front of the housing (1). With this arrangement, the game is developed as follows; The user enters a coin and rotating the crank of the purse (6) falls

a ball (14) through the spout channel (13) until reaching the labyrinth plate (10),

60 At this point, the user drives this plate through the joystick (9) and must drive the ball (14) through the maze (10) until it reaches the end of the path where the final hole (12) is located by where the ball falls (14); This ball is transported by its own weight through an inner channel until it leaves the collection tank (11) and there it is obtained by the user and player of the machine.

65 The machine also incorporates a claim of light as a result of some LEDs

(8) that will light up about 60 seconds whenever you detect a nearby movement, these LEDs light up as a result of a motion sensor (7)

Claims (6)
