Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an obstacle nail which passes between obstacle nails implanted on a game board surface of a pachinko machine and falls along the game board surface so as to become an obstacle.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art A number of obstacle nails are planted on a game board in order to guide a hit ball hit into a game section to a winning opening or to prevent a winning, and the drop of the hit ball becomes monotonous. Obstacles such as windmills are appropriately installed in order to prevent this. These obstacles are implanted or fixed at predetermined positions based on design, and cannot be arbitrarily moved or removed after being fixed. In particular, the obstacle nail is closely related to the installation position of other obstacles such as windmills to be attached to the game board and the installation position of the winning opening, and the planting position is determined at the design stage Cannot be changed.

[0003] For this reason, there is a drawback that conventional nails or the like against hitting balls are implanted at fixed positions as designed and guide the hitting balls in a substantially constant falling direction, resulting in a monotonous result. To solve this monotony, an obstacle for a game ball which has been hitherto interposed between obstacle nails to obstruct the course of a hit ball and promote a change in the course direction has been proposed by Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 25283/1990.

[0004] The obstacles according to the existing proposal are provided with a function that replaces the obstacle nail itself. In other words, instead of arranging a large number of obstacle nails, two
By implanting only two nails and passing them between the two obstacle nails, the driving of the intermediate nail is substantially omitted.
Another function is to rotate or swing when a falling ball is hit by a ball that is freely rotatably supported by one obstacle nail and change the course direction of the hit ball.

[0005] As described, this obstacle blocks between the nails when it is mounted on the obstacle nails, and cannot pass a hit ball. Only one obstacle can pass. It is configured to rotate or swing with the obstacle nail as a pivot, and can pass between the nails only when the obstacle is pushed away by the force of the hit ball. Therefore, in this sense, the function of the obstacle can be exerted. However, the obstacles according to the already proposed method, in particular, those that are passed between two obstacle nails and are mounted, are in the mounted state. In this case, the gap between the nails is completely closed, and the passage of the ball becomes impossible, so that it is merely a replacement of the obstacle nail, and no particular change can be expected.

[0006]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In view of such circumstances, the present invention provides an obstacle in which a change that cannot be obtained from an obstacle nail is given to a hit ball while using an existing obstacle nail to satisfy the player's taste. In particular, the present invention receives a collision of a hit ball and repels it in response to a hit ball, changing the course in an unspecified direction, while repelling in a specific direction when hitting a specific position, for example, winning a prize It is an object of the present invention to provide a ball hitting obstacle of a game board which can be used in a case where it is installed near a mouth to make it easy to win by utilizing the rebound in a specific direction.

Further, according to the present invention, while hitting a ball passing between obstacle nails, the ball is repelled and urged to change the direction. It is an object of the present invention to provide a ball hitting obstacle of a game board which can be made to give a further change to the hitting ball.

[0008]

According to the present invention, in order to achieve the above object, a main body having a length extending between at least two obstacle nails implanted on a game board is formed. An engagement recess for engaging the shaft of the obstacle nail is formed at a position corresponding to the two obstacle nails, and the engagement recess is freely engaged and disengaged with the shaft of the obstacle nail to engage the obstacle. It is an object of the present invention to provide a ball hitting obstacle of a game board which is erected and mounted in a bridge shape between nails so as to be an obstacle to a falling ball.

Another object of the present invention is to provide a hitting obstacle which is provided with a direction so as to repel a falling hitting ball in a specific direction. It is an object of the present invention to provide a ball hitting obstacle of a game board, characterized in that one side which is an upper surface when installed and mounted on an obstacle nail is formed as a slope which becomes a downward slope toward the game board surface.

According to the present invention, the rod-shaped main body is provided with a concave surface along the length direction when the main body having a rod shape is installed and mounted on an obstacle nail in order to rebound the ball with a further change against a hit ball falling and colliding. It is an object of the present invention to provide a game board hitting obstacle characterized by being formed in an arc shape or a convex arc shape.

[0011] The present invention also provides a ball hitting obstacle of a game board, characterized in that the bar-shaped main part is formed into a waveform in which one surface serving as an upper surface when installed and mounted on an obstacle nail has a continuous irregularity. It is in.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing the configuration of an embodiment of the present invention;

FIG. 1 is a perspective view for explaining a use state in which a hitting obstacle according to the present invention is mounted and used between obstacle nails to be implanted on a game board, and FIG. FIG. 4 is an enlarged central longitudinal right side view of a main part of a cross section at the center of the hitting obstacle in the state, FIG. 3 is a perspective view of a hitting obstacle, and FIG. It is a rear view. Reference numeral 1 in the figure is the main part of the hitting obstacle according to the present invention. Numeral 2 denotes an obstacle nail implanted in a game board 3 on which the main body 1 is mounted.

The guiding device 4 for guiding the incoming ball P, ie, the winning ball P (broadly, corresponds to a winning device) is provided in a game section surrounded by a rail (not shown) attached to the front of the game board 3. The device is installed at a substantially central portion, and here, the entire device is formed in a housing shape with an open front, imitating a theater stage. The central part corresponding to the stage (stage) is formed by arranging three steps 6a, 6b, 6c having a wavy upper surface in a stepwise manner, and introducing floors 7, 7 corresponding to the sleeves of the stage on the left and right sides. Has formed.

The foremost step 6c of the device 4 is arranged at the front edge of the stage and at the same time, in front of the game board 3. When the flying ball P rolls down each step to reach a concave portion 8 (containing a pachinko ball P in the drawing) located at the center of the step 6c, the winning opening 5 located below the step 8c. It is set to transfer to.

The guiding device 4 is fitted into a mounting hole 9 formed in the game board 3 from the front side, and a flange-shaped mounting piece 10 formed on the periphery of the opening 4a is brought into contact with the front face of the game board 3 and fixed. Is done. The ball P hit by hitting the obstacle nail 2 implanted along the lower edge of the opening 4a into the inside of the opening 4a of the apparatus, that is, the stage, can be entered. I have.

Although only the obstacle nail 2 implanted in the main part is shown in the drawing, the ball hit from the launching device is hit in various directions on the game board and is distributed. Obstacle nails will be planted. However, here, among these obstacle nails, the obstacle nails (not shown) implanted along the lower edge of the opening are guided by the obstacle nails (not shown) implanted on the side of the guiding device 4 and consequently. The collided object jumps into the device due to the rebound of the nail.

Most of the incoming balls P have collided with obstacle nails located at the left and right ends of the nail row implanted along the lower edge of the opening. The hit ball hit by the nail jumps into the introduction floors 7, 7 corresponding to the sleeves of the stage, and then rolls along the slope of the floor to the last step 6a at the rear end of the stage.
After that, it is guided by the downward slope of the upper surface of each stage, and moves down to the previous stage.

During this time, the ball P enters into any one of the recesses of each of the steps 6a to 6c, and after fitting, falls to the next step by the front downward gradient of the bottom of the recess 8 and again fits in any of the recesses. When the ball P finally falls and moves to the center recess 8 of the frontmost step 6c, the ball P is guided out of the recess to the winning opening 5 and becomes a winning ball.

The main part 1 of the hitting obstacle according to the present invention is an obstacle nail 2 implanted along the lower edge of the opening of the guiding device 4.
Is installed so as to cross over the winning opening 5. FIG. 2 is an enlarged view of this erection state. FIGS. 3 and 4 are enlarged views of the mounting means of the main body 1 to the obstacle nail.

The main body 1 in this embodiment is formed in a rod-like shape having a length straddling a plurality of obstacle nails, and a bay for receiving the shaft portions 2a of the obstacle nails 2 on the lower surface near the ends. Formed engaging recesses 11 are formed. The engaging recess 11 is cut into an eight-shape with both edges of the opening facing outward to facilitate the reception of the shaft 2a of the nail. It can be fitted by pressing it as it is.
The main body 1 is preferably formed of a resilient synthetic resin or a metal material to repel a hit ball at the same time as the mounting operation.

Here, the main body 1 according to the above configuration is mounted on the obstacle 2 in contact with the head 2a as shown in the figure, and a pachinko ball P is provided between the main body 1 and the front of the game board 3. A space 12 that can pass through is secured, and the main body 1
The ball that did not collide with the ball or that was not hit while striking is allowed to fall through the gap between the obstacle nails. Incidentally, reference numeral 13 in the drawing denotes glass covering the front surface of the game board 3.

According to the present invention, the hit ball hit on the game board is hit in the various directions by colliding with the obstacle nail 2 implanted on the board, as in the prior art. When the ball falling along the side of the collides with an obstacle nail lined up along the lower edge of the opening, it is repelled and jumps into the opening, rolls on the stage of the stage as described above, and reopens Returning to the section, some reach the recess 8 and move into the winning opening 5 from here, and some return to the game board surface as it is.

On the other hand, a ball which has been hit near the center of the lower edge of the opening directly collides with the obstacle nail, and in this embodiment, the obstacle passed between the obstacle nails 2 The object may collide with the main body 1 and be repelled in a different direction. In particular, since the main body 1 is mounted near the tip of the nail as described above, a hemispherical portion (arc surface) on the front side of the ball P collides at the time of collision as shown in FIG. Often, it is likely to be flipped back in the game board direction, and the chance of jumping into the opening 4a is increased.

Of course, the ball hit toward the main body 1 is not always hit by the game board, but if it is missed, it passes through the space 12 between the obstacle nails and goes down. It will fall towards you. Therefore, as a result, various sorting is performed among the obstacle nails, and the course of the hit ball is changed.

In this embodiment, the main body 1 has a long rectangular cross-section rod shape and has a length that straddles a plurality of obstacle nails 2. This length has a large deflection when hit with a hit ball. Because of its increased elasticity, it is effective for hitting the ball back. In addition, the engaging recesses 11 are formed on the lower surface of the main body 1 for mounting on the obstacle nails, but the engaging recesses are formed at both ends of the main body 1 and each end is applied to the two obstacle nails. You may make it carry out and attach in this way. Of course, in this case, it is needless to say that one may be formed on the lower surface side and the other may be formed on the end, and the respective engaging recesses may be fitted to the shaft of the obstacle nail.

The engaging recess 11 is provided to hook the main body 1 to the obstacle nail 2 and is not limited to a bay-shaped one, but can be freely selected. However, a bay-shaped or U-shaped recess is suitable from the viewpoint of workability and stability during mounting. In particular, these recesses are suitable for the shaft portion 2a of the obstacle nail 2;
It is preferable that the shaft portion 2a be sandwiched and fitted without play.

As described above, when the main body 1 is mounted on the obstacle nail, as described above, in the case of a narrow recess as described above, the main body 1 can be mounted in a sandwiched state simply by pressing, so that it is simple and stable. The wearing state will be obtained. In particular, in this case, since the main body 1 and the obstacle nail 2 are integrated, they repel jointly in the event of a hitting ball, exhibiting high resilience and giving various changes to the falling ball. You can do it.

In this mounting, when the engaging recess 11 formed in the main body 1 is formed in a bay shape adapted to the head 2b of the obstacle nail 2 and the main body is fitted on the head 2b, The nail can be fixedly and stably mounted without moving in the axial direction of the nail, and the space 12 formed between the main body 1 and the game board surface can be secured accurately, which is convenient. Good.

Second Embodiment Next, FIG.
5 shows a second embodiment in which 5 is formed on an inclined surface so as to have a downward slope toward the rear, that is, toward the game board surface. In this embodiment, the figure (A) is an example in which the inclined surface 14 is a smooth surface and the cross-sectional shape of the main body 1 is a substantially right triangle, and the figure (B) is that the upper surface 15 of the main body is formed in a convex arc shape. This is an example.
In any of the examples, when a falling ball is hit, the player hits the ball backward by this inclination to make it easier to jump into the prize hole 5 provided in the game board, the guiding device 4 described in the above embodiment, etc. Is formed over the entire length of the main body 1, but may be formed partially or intermittently at intervals.

[0032]

Embodiment 3 FIG. 6 shows a third embodiment of the present invention. This embodiment is an example in which the upper surface 16 of the main body 1 having a long rod shape is curved in a concave arc shape. The main body portion 1 changes the direction of rebound when the ball is hit on the upper surface, depending on the curved surface, and can produce a more resilient impact than the straight one of the first embodiment. In addition, under the same idea, the upper surface 16 may be formed so as to protrude in a convex arc shape, that is, in a bow shape.

[0033]

Fourth Embodiment FIG. 7 shows a fourth embodiment in which the upper surface 17 of the main body 1 is made to have irregularities in a waveform. This embodiment is an example in which by making the upper surface have a waveform, a more varied rebound can be obtained from the difference in the repulsion direction between the concave portion and the convex portion.

[0034]

Fifth Embodiment FIG. 8 shows that the main body 1 is formed in a ladder shape by two long parallel bars 18, 18 and an obstacle bar 19 passed between the bars at an interval. It is an example.
In this embodiment, engagement recesses 11, 11 are provided on the lower surface near each end of the two rods 18, 18, and through the engagement recesses,
It is structured to be handed over between the obstacle nails 2 and 2 of the book,
The two rods 18 and 18 and the obstacle rods 19 and 19 are parallel to each other with an interval for passing the pachinko ball P therebetween, thereby forming a rectangular space 20. Is allowed to pass.

The main body 1 is fitted with engagement recesses 11, 11 formed in two rods 18, 18 at two locations, a base portion and a tip portion, of the obstacle nail 2, and the two nails 18 Used to span. As is apparent from the above configuration, the main body portion 1 can receive a hit ball with two rods and an obstacle bar, and while repelling a colliding ball in each, it can also pass through the space 20 so that Various changes can be made. Of course, by passing the main body 1 to the two obstruction nails 2 and 2, the obstruction nails to be implanted therebetween can be replaced with the obstruction rods 19, 19, so that the obstruction nails between them can be omitted. .

As described above, according to the present invention, the hitting ball P which is guided by falling between the obstacle nails by passing the main body portion 1 between the obstacle nails 2 and 2 which are previously implanted on the game board and mounting the nails is provided. In addition, there is an advantage that the design can be easily changed for an off-the-shelf game board.
Of course, it goes without saying that the main body 1 may be passed between two nails at a horizontal position or between nails at an inclined position. Further, in the above-described embodiment, the case of mounting directly above the winning opening 5 has been described. However, the mounting may be performed at a portion not directly related to the winning opening, for example, so as to pass in front of the opening 2a of the guiding device 4. The ball may be attached and the ball may be hit at a portion where the nail cannot be implanted.

[0037]

As described above, the present invention has been described in various forms based on the respective embodiments. However, since the obstacle of the present invention is mounted so as to pass between two nails planted on the game board surface, Various changes can be given by hitting or hitting the hit ball passing between the nails, repelling the hit ball, or reducing the falling speed. In addition, a ball that collides with the obstacle can generate a rebound that cannot be obtained from the obstacle nail, and can change the direction. Can be given.

In particular, the obstacle of the present invention, in addition to the above-described effects, is mounted in the vicinity of the winning opening because the ball is hit between the tips of the obstacle nail and hits the ball in the game board direction when hit. Sometimes, an unprecedented jumping state appears, and the player can be entertained.

Of course, the obstacle of the present invention can be mounted simply by pressing and engaging the engaging concave portion with the obstacle nail, so that it is easy to handle and can be easily removed, which is convenient. In addition, since the structure is extremely simple, there is an advantage that manufacturing is easy and practicality is excellent.
