DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a firing handle of a game machine, and more particularly to a firing handle capable of stopping the firing of a game ball while maintaining a constant firing intensity.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art A gaming machine such as a first class pachinko machine is provided with a firing handle so that a player can grasp and operate the game ball (game medium) in a game area by hand.
The firing handle includes, for example, a movable portion that is rotated to adjust the firing intensity (firing speed) of a game ball, the movable portion includes a grip portion that is gripped by a palm of a gripped hand, and a lever that rotates with a finger. Having a part. The grip portion is provided with a touch sensor so that the firing switch is energized by touching the hand. The player grips the grip portion of the movable portion with the palm, puts a finger on the lever portion, rotates the lever portion, and adjusts the firing intensity.

[0003] A player operates a lever portion of a firing handle to drive a game ball into a game area to try to win a starting port. For example, in a first-class pachinko machine, a special symbol display device is activated in response to a prize in the starting opening, and when the symbol stopped and displayed after the change becomes a predetermined combination symbol, a gaming state called a jackpot is established, and A predetermined opening / closing operation is performed. The state of the jackpot is usually such that approximately 30 seconds elapse after the opening of the special winning opening, or until the number of game balls that have won the special winning opening reaches approximately 10 balls, as one round, and when one round is completed, the big winning is completed. Mouth closes. Then, provided that the game ball passes through the specified area during the round or within a certain period of time after the closing of the special winning opening, the jackpot continues and the next round can be continued, up to 16 rounds can be continued It is. In the meantime, one prize ball won
If the number is five, a maximum of 2400 prize balls can be obtained by simple calculation.

[0004] By the way, in the first class pachinko machine, a jackpot is generated with a probability of, for example, several hundredths. In order to obtain a jackpot, a player tries to make as many game balls as possible in the starting port. However, in the process in which the symbol fluctuations due to the previous prize are being consumed, up to four subsequent prizes to the starting opening can be held as jackpots, and further prizes are to be won to the starting opening. Even in this case, the prize balls are paid out only, and the pattern does not change, and the number of prize balls per one time including the prize in the normal winning opening is less than 10 on average. Then, since the launch of the game ball is about one every 0.6 seconds, empirically, assuming that an average of six to eight prizes are won in one minute, the game ball launched in one minute is about 100
The maximum number of balls and prize balls is 80, and the number of game balls does not increase but decreases as they are. In other words, the game balls will not increase unless the jackpot is won. The jackpot is generated as a result of the design change, and the starting opening prize without the design change does not pay. Therefore, the player normally stops firing when the number of the reserved balls becomes four.

[0005] In a conventional gaming machine, there are two ways to stop firing. One is to press the firing stop button, and the other is to release the hand from the firing handle itself. Was. Many players stop the firing by releasing their hands from the firing handle itself, and at this time, fix a foreign object such as a coin in the handle lever so that the firing intensity does not need to be readjusted.

[0006]

As described above, in the conventional gaming machine, for example, when the number of symbols to be changed is four, the method of stopping the firing of the game ball is to press the firing stop button. The conventional firing stop button is provided, for example, on a fixed portion of the firing handle, and the rotation angle of the handle lever that is rotated to adjust the firing intensity is used. Depending on the size of the player's hand and the size of the player's hand, the distance between the finger and the firing stop button is not always the optimum distance, and the optimum distance varies depending on the player, making it difficult to operate. Therefore, the firing stop button is not used much. Also, as described above, there are a number of players who pinch a foreign object and release their hands from the firing handle, but if such operations are repeated, the rotation of the handle lever becomes worse, and it becomes impossible to perform the firing adjustment as desired. Cause problems.

[0007] The present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and without releasing the hand from the firing handle of the gaming machine,
Another object of the present invention is to make it possible to easily stop the launch of a game ball while maintaining a constant launching intensity without using a foreign object.

[0008]

Here, it is preferable that the firing stop button is provided on the fixed portion side, and that the firing stop button can be operated by pushing the movable portion in the axial direction and moving the movable portion.

For example, when the movable portion has a grip portion gripped by the palm of a gripped hand and a lever portion rotated by putting a finger, the firing stop button is pressed by pushing the grip portion and moving it in the axial direction. It can be operational. In this case, the gripping portion can be pushed with the palm by expanding and contracting the finger while fixing the finger so that the lever portion of the movable portion does not rotate, and the firing of the game medium can be easily stopped while maintaining the firing intensity constant. Can be.

In the case where the movable portion has a grip portion gripped by the palm of a gripped hand and a lever portion rotated by putting a finger,
By pushing the lever part and moving it in the axial direction, the firing stop button can also be made operable, in this case, the finger part is stretched while fixing the finger so that the lever part of the movable part does not rotate, and the lever part is pushed, The palm can be fixed to the grip portion, and the emission of the game medium can be stopped easily while maintaining the emission intensity constant.

In the above construction, there is provided a means for moving the movable portion in the axial direction and operating the firing stop button to fix the movable portion in the rotating direction with respect to the fixed portion so that the emission intensity can be maintained constant. By doing so, it is possible to stop the firing and forcibly fix the movable part and to keep the firing intensity unchanged by a single operation.

Further, it is preferable to provide an elastic member for urging the movable portion in the separating direction with respect to the fixed portion, so that the movable portion is always separated from the fixed portion so that firing and emission intensity can be adjusted. In addition, it is possible to restore the state in which the firing and the firing intensity can be adjusted immediately after the stop of the firing.

[0015] The above object also includes a fixed portion, and a movable portion rotatably assembled to the fixed portion via a shaft body. The movable portion includes a grip portion to be gripped by the palm of a gripped hand, and a finger to be gripped. In the launching handle of a gaming machine that has a lever portion that rotates over and holds the movable portion to rotate and adjust the firing intensity of the game medium, the grip portion of the movable portion and the lever portion can be relatively moved in the axial direction. In addition, a firing stop button is provided at an axially opposed portion between the grip portion and the lever portion, and the grip stop portion and the lever portion of the movable portion are relatively moved in the axial direction to activate the firing stop button to fire the game medium. Can be solved by enabling the stoppage.

According to this configuration, the player can operate the firing stop button by moving the grip portion and the lever portion of the movable portion relative to each other in the axial direction while holding the firing handle and maintaining the firing intensity constant. , The emission of the game medium can be stopped.

In this configuration, for example, by pushing the grip portion and moving it in the axial direction, the firing stop button can be operated to stop the emission of the game medium, in which case the lever portion of the movable portion does not rotate. The finger can be extended and contracted while the finger is held in place to push the grip portion with the palm, and the emission of the game medium can be easily stopped while the emission intensity is kept constant.

Further, by pulling the lever portion and moving it in the axial direction, the firing stop button can be operated to stop the firing of the game medium. In this case, a finger is used to prevent the lever portion of the movable portion from rotating. The lever portion can be pulled by extending and contracting the finger while being fixed, and the emission of the game medium can be easily stopped while maintaining the emission intensity constant.

In the above-described configuration in which the grip portion and the lever portion are relatively movable in the axial direction and the firing stop button is provided in the portion opposed to the axial direction, the movable portion is moved in the axial direction toward the fixed portion. It is preferable to provide a means for fixing the fixing part in the rotation direction with respect to the fixing part so that the firing intensity can be maintained constant, and by doing so, by pushing the grip part to stop the firing, or pulling the lever part, the firing is performed. In the case of stopping, the movable portion is forcibly fixed at the same time by the operation of pushing the grip portion while pulling the lever portion, so that the emission intensity does not change.

It is preferable to provide an elastic member for urging the lever portion in the separating direction with respect to the grip portion, so that the grip portion is always separated from the lever portion so as to maintain a state capable of firing. In addition, it is possible to quickly restore to a state in which firing can be performed after stopping the firing.

Further, it is preferable to provide an elastic member for urging the movable portion in the separating direction with respect to the fixed portion, so that the movable portion is always separated from the fixed portion so that the emission intensity can be adjusted. , And can be restored to a state in which the firing intensity can be adjusted immediately after the firing is stopped.
