DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a handle for adjusting the hitting force of a pachinko machine mounted on the front of a pachinko machine and used for driving a pachinko ball into a game area of a game board.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, as a handle for adjusting the hitting force of a pachinko machine of this type, for example, a support portion fixed to the front surface of a pachinko machine, a cap portion disposed in front of the handle portion, and the support portion and the cap portion An operation lever interposed between the
There is a rotary type in which a motor is used as a driving source and an operation lever is rotated at a desired angle in a circumferential direction thereof to adjust a hitting force of a pachinko ball hit into a game area of a game board.

By the way, the hitting force adjusting handle is
The operating lever is always urged to the pre-operation position by the spring, and the hitting force changes depending on the amount of rotation, and the change greatly changes with a slight force of the hand holding the hitting force adjusting handle. Normally, the player adjusts the amount of hitting power while holding the handle for adjusting the hitting force, almost without looking at the handle for adjusting the hitting force, and exclusively looking at the trajectory with variation of the pachinko balls hit on the game board. ing. Therefore, for example, if you release your hand from the hitting force adjusting handle to temporarily leave the seat from the pachinko machine you were playing, the operation lever returns to the original pre-operation position, so it is attached to the original pachinko machine again for hitting force adjustment. When grasping the handle, it is very difficult to hold the hand at the same position where the original hitting strength can be secured because there is no indication, and almost relying on intuition while watching the trajectory of the pachinko ball hit on the game board surface The current situation is to make adjustments.

On the other hand, a rotary resistor is used as a driving source, and a variable resistor for controlling the supplied electric power is connected to the rotary solenoid. The resistance value of the variable resistor is adjusted by sliding an operation lever in a substantially horizontal direction. 2. Description of the Related Art There is known a slide-type hitting force adjusting handle that is changed, but a plurality of small ramps near the operating lever and parallel to the sliding direction of the operating lever are known in the hitting force adjusting handle. The number of lamps that are turned on changes according to the amount of movement of the operation lever, and the amount of hitting force can be adjusted while visually checking the number of the turned on lamps as a guide.

[0005]

However, in the above-mentioned slide-type hitting force adjusting handle, the hitting force is adjusted while visually checking the amount of movement of the operating lever, that is, the number of lit lamps. The position of the desired hitting force will be memorized while alternately visually observing the trajectory of the pachinko balls hit on the game board and the number of the lit lamps, and attention must be paid to both eyes, which is extremely troublesome. If possible, it is convenient if the best position of the operation lever is understood while looking only at the trajectory of the pachinko ball hit on the game board without looking at the handle for adjusting the hitting force, and the game can be enjoyed happily . In addition, such a configuration using a lamp has a problem that not only the structure is complicated but also the production cost is high. Therefore, the present invention has been made in order to solve the above problems, by providing a hitting force amount recognizing means capable of recognizing the amount of hitting force of a pachinko ball with the feel of a hand holding the hitting force adjustment handle, It is an object of the present invention to provide a handle for adjusting the hitting force of a pachinko machine which does not impair the interest of the game without having to work on the best position of the operation lever even if the pachinko machine once leaves the seat and returns to the seat. It is.

For example, as shown by a solid line in FIG. 6, the finger F2 attached to the middle finger hook 47b at the position before the operation of the operation lever 34 is moved to the first index protrusion S1.
When the operation lever 34 is rotated to adjust the hitting force of the pachinko ball as shown by the chain line in FIG. 6 from the state of touching, the finger F2 is displaced as it is and the index projection S4 touching at that position is recognized as a tactile sensation. Is done.

Then, the player grasps the hitting force adjusting handle 14 for the desired pachinko machine P, and operates the operating lever 3 by hand.
While looking at the trajectory of the pachinko ball hit into the game area 3a of the game board 3 while rotating 4, the position of the best hitting force is recognized by using one of the index protrusions S1 to S5 as a guide with the feel of the fingertip. And memorize. As described above, since the position of the best hitting force can be stored by the tactile sensation of the fingertip, the position of the best hitting force can be recognized without looking at the handle 14 for adjusting the hitting force at hand. Even if the handle 14 is attached again, the hitting force adjustment handle 14 that has returned to the position before the operation
The original position set by rotating is easily crushed by the feel of the hand, and the position of the best hitting force can be easily recognized. In this case, it is desirable that the lateral width of the outer peripheral surface of the operation lever 34 be wide so that each finger can be attached in a stable state when the fingers are put in contact with each other. In the present invention, the projecting index protrusion S is used as a hitting force amount recognizing means.
Although steps S1 to S5 are provided, a plurality of depressions or the like whose diameter gradually increases may be used as long as they can be recognized by the feel of the fingertip. As long as it is other than the lever 34, the outer peripheral surface of the cap portion 35 which is the handle main body 14a may be used. In addition, the index protrusion S1 as the hitting force amount recognition means.
Steps S5 to S5 also have a function as a scale indicating the operation range of the operation lever 34 having the finger hanging projections 47a to 47c. In this case, any one of the finger hanging projections 47a to 47c recognizes. Alternatively, only one finger projection may be provided and recognized.

In order to secure the operation lever 34 and prevent the hands from getting tired, for example, an object such as a match stick is almost invisible in a narrow gap between the rear end edge of the cap portion 35 and the operation lever 34 in order to fix the operation lever 34, for example. May be pushed in. However, if the player left the game after ending the game, the pachinko ball was fired vigorously at the moment when the next player touched the operating lever 34 to play the game, and he was surprised and confused, and also damaged his pachinko ball. This is an unpleasant result, as it results in excitement. Therefore, as shown in FIG.
The pachinko machine P in which the rotating machine 4 is left rotating is
It is necessary to quickly return the operation lever 34 to the pre-operation position. This is to be performed by a pachinko hall attendant. Whether or not the operating lever 34 is a hitting force adjusting handle that is left rotated and turned is determined by the position of the mark M with respect to the index protrusions S1 to S5. This is because they understand quickly and can easily deal with them. That is, if the operation lever 34 is left as it is rotated, the mark M will match the index protrusion S3 or the index protrusion S4 in the middle. The mark is not limited to the mark M, but may be formed by changing its shape so that it can be distinguished from the others by, for example, sharpening only one of the finger hooks 47a to 47c toward the front side. You may put it.
