Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a pachinko machine provided with a pachinko machine and having a ball circulation path for circulating pachinko balls used in the pachinko machine.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, in a pachinko machine in which a pachinko machine is installed, a frame is formed so that a number of pachinko machines can be arranged in a row, and an inner space is provided with a ball-feeding and feeding device, a supply tank, a storage tank and the like. It was formed as a pachinko island with a ball circulation path. However, the conventional pachinko island stand configuration is usually designed individually according to the number of pachinko machines installed in the hall and the state of the hall, and it was impossible to manufacture the island stand with uniform standardized products in advance.
For this reason, it was not possible to start the production of the island stand after the completion of the design drawing of the hall, and if the island stand was to be produced in a short period of time, the number of production was limited. In addition, the production of the island stand also involved a complicated work process, requiring a lot of manpower and construction time.
For example, a wooden frame is formed in advance corresponding to the number of pachinko machines accommodated (six, four, two, etc.), and a plurality of each wooden frame is connected according to the total number of installations to manufacture a series of island tables. Was.

[0003] Further, a large ball-feeding and feeding device is provided at the center of the island, and in connection with the ball-feeding and feeding device, a supply tank is provided at an upper portion and a large storage tank is provided at a lower portion. For this reason, a device that smoothly circulates the balls discharged from each pachinko machine inside the island stand is an unnecessarily large quantity of balls and a large-scale device, and it is impossible to mass-produce these devices. There were also problems in economy and workability.

[0004]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned problems, and an object of the present invention is to provide a pachinko machine that can be mass-produced with uniform standardized products. An object of the present invention is to provide a pachinko machine.

[0005]

According to the present invention, there is provided a pachinko machine having a ball circulation path for installing a pachinko machine and circulating a pachinko ball used in the pachinko machine. The pachinko machine includes a frame formed in a rectangular parallelepiped shape having a slight width on a side of the pachinko machine to be installed, a front frame member provided on the frame and mounting the pachinko machine, and a front frame member attached to the front frame member. A returned ball counting device that returns the inside of the pachinko device while counting and storing the winning balls obtained by the obtained pachinko machine, a returned ball returned by the returned ball counting device, and a used ball used by the pachinko machine. And a lifting machine for lifting the pachinko machine to the upper portion on the back side of the pachinko machine.

[0006] With this configuration, when playing a game with the pachinko machine attached to the front frame member, the prize balls obtained by the player are returned to the return ball counting device, so that the prize balls are stored inside the pachinko device. While being taken in, the number of returned balls taken in is counted and stored. And the used returned balls and used balls such as winning balls and out balls used in the pachinko machine are polished and pumped by a lifting machine and returned to a well-known prize ball tank provided in the pachinko machine, Used again as a prize ball. In other words, in the present invention, since all the components required for operating the pachinko machine are provided in one pachinko machine, the conventional pachinko island stand is premised on installing a large number of pachinko machines. It is not necessary to manufacture the island stand individually according to the size of the hall or the number of pachinko machines installed as in, and mass-produce pachinko machines, which are uniform standardized products in advance, and in the hall, It can be easily dealt with only by devising the arrangement method of the apparatus for each hall.

[0007]

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below in detail with reference to the drawings.
