Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a gaming machine, and more particularly, to a gaming machine that plays a game by circulating a game ball.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, various techniques for forming a part of a game machine with a conductive material have been proposed in order to prevent the static electricity charged on a game ball from affecting the game machine. For example,
There is a method of forming the saucer with a conductive material such as carbon and removing the static electricity charged on the balls on the saucer from the saucer to the outside of the gaming machine (Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 2-136684).

Here, in order to more fully prevent the influence of static electricity on the game machine, not only the saucer but also the distribution path of the balls other than the saucer and all the parts around the distribution path are made of a conductive material. It is possible to do it. This is because static electricity is less likely to accumulate in the distribution path and all parts around the distribution path, and local high voltage can be effectively prevented from occurring in such parts.

[0004]

However, if all the parts around the distribution channel are made of a conductive material, electricity can flow to the parts around the distribution channel that are likely to come into contact with people. It was not preferable in handling the game machine.

Further, paying attention to its light weight, a synthetic polymer material having conductivity such as conductive plastic (hereinafter,
When a conductive synthetic polymer material) is used as a conductive material, this conductive synthetic polymer material has a physical property of mainly black, so that all parts around the distribution channel are formed of the conductive synthetic polymer material. There is a problem in that the aesthetic appearance is impaired by doing so.

Such a problem can be solved by forming parts of the game machine, which are likely to be touched by a person, or parts where importance is placed on aesthetics, with an insulating material, and other parts with a conductive material. However, when the insulating material is used in this way, static electricity is allowed on the surface of the portion formed of the insulating material, and it is impossible to fully prevent the influence of the static electricity on the pachinko gaming machine. . In addition, since static electricity attracts dust in the air, dirt easily adheres to the surface of the part made of insulating material, which impairs the cleanliness of the gaming machine surface. There was a risk of inviting the problem.

Therefore, the present invention solves the above problems,
The following configuration is adopted for the purpose of protecting the gaming machine from static electricity while ensuring safe handling of the gaming machine and ensuring aesthetic or cleanliness of the gaming machine.

[0008]

[Means for Solving the Problem and Its Action / Effect] The first gaming machine of the present invention is a gaming machine for playing a game by circulating a game ball, and is a control for controlling the operation relating to the game. A substrate, a route forming component that is a component that forms the flow route of the sphere, and a peripheral component that is a component that is located around the route forming component, and at least one of the route forming components, The gist is that it is formed by using a conductive polymer material and at least one of the peripheral parts is formed by using an antistatic material.

The term "conductive polymer material" as used herein means that among synthetic polymer materials having conductivity, the composition as a whole has conductivity and the electrical resistance per unit volume of the composition (hereinafter referred to as volume resistance). Rate) is less than 10 ⁶ Ω. The conductive polymer material is generally formed by adding fine particles having conductivity to a certain base material (matrix) as a filler (filler). Types of conductive polymer materials include conductive plastics in which a synthetic resin is used as a base material and carbon black, a metal such as silver or copper is used as a filler, and conductive rubber in which a synthetic rubber is used as a base material. In this conductive polymer material,
Electrical transfer is achieved within the composition by the transfer of charge by direct contact between the fillers within the composition.

On the other hand, the antistatic material refers to a material of the composition which has conductivity only on the surface which has been subjected to the antistatic treatment. The electric resistance per unit area on the surface of the antistatic material (hereinafter referred to as surface resistivity) is generally 10 ⁶
Exceeds Ω, but can be set to 10 ⁶ Ω or less. The antistatic material is generally formed by subjecting the surface of the insulator to antistatic treatment (treatment for reducing the surface resistivity of a certain material). The antistatic treatment includes a treatment of applying an antistatic agent to the surface of the insulator, and a kneading treatment of mixing and blending the antistatic agent with the molding material of the insulator to form a conductive layer on the surface. As an example of such an insulator or an antistatic agent, a synthetic polymer material such as a synthetic resin (insulator) and various surfactants (antistatic agent) such as khaotin can be considered. In this antistatic material, when static electricity occurs on the insulator surface, the antistatic surface absorbs moisture in the air and discharges the static electricity generated on the insulator surface into the air. Charges on the surface are prevented.

According to the first gaming machine of the present invention, static electricity generated on the route forming component due to friction with the game ball or the like is generated in the route forming component formed of the conductive polymer material. Distributed. Therefore, it is less likely that a local high voltage will be generated on the route forming component, and it is possible to prevent static electricity discharged from the route forming component from acting as noise on the control board.

On the other hand, since components located around the route forming component (hereinafter referred to as peripheral components) are formed by using an antistatic material, static electricity on the route forming component or in the route forming component is unlikely to reach the peripheral components. Therefore, even if static electricity is applied to the peripheral parts, the surface of the peripheral parts is maintained in a state where static electricity is not charged. Therefore, when the peripheral parts are touched, there is no unpleasant feeling due to the discharge from the surface of the peripheral parts. Further, since the antistatic material has a wider selection range of material colors than the conductive polymer material, it is possible to enhance the aesthetics of the entire gaming machine by appropriately coloring the peripheral parts.
Furthermore, the dust on the surface of the peripheral component is not attracted by the static electricity on the surface of the peripheral component, and the surface of the peripheral component is not contaminated.

As described above, according to the first gaming machine of the present invention, it is possible to protect the gaming machine from static electricity without sacrificing the daily usability and aesthetics of the gaming machine.

As the path forming component in the first gaming machine, a ball tank for temporarily storing the balls supplied from the island of the game hall, and the game balls stored in the ball tank are provided with predetermined conditions. Sometimes a dispensing device, a first passage forming component that forms a passage of a ball from the tank to the dispensing device, and a passage of a ball from the dispensing device to a dish for storing the balls dispensed by the dispensing device It is possible to consider a second passage forming component, a rail component that guides the balls accumulated in the dish to the game area, and the like. Further, as the peripheral parts, a dish body for accumulating the balls dispensed by the dispensing device, a dispensing device cover mounted on the dispensing device, a first passage forming component cover mounted on the first passage forming component, a control A substrate cover mounted on a substrate, a control substrate, a payout device, a mechanism plate that is a plate to which at least one of the first passage forming component and the second passage forming component is attached, a glass frame that covers a game area, and the glass A frame body or the like to which the frame is attached can be considered.

The route forming component is formed of a conductive polymer material having a resistivity lower than that of the surface of the antistatic material used for forming the peripheral component, and the route forming component and the peripheral component are in contact with each other. It is also preferable to arrange in the state.
In this way, the static electricity generated on the route forming component is positively guided to the route forming component side having a smaller resistivity, and is less likely to be guided to the peripheral component side. Therefore, the static electricity can be surely dispersed in the path forming component, and the peripheral components can be reliably prevented from being charged.

A second gaming machine of the present invention is a gaming machine that plays a game by circulating a game ball, and has a distribution path forming component that is a component that forms a distribution path of the ball. In the flow path forming component, the contact portion that comes into contact with the sphere in the flow process of the sphere is formed using a conductive polymer material, and among the non-contact portions that do not come into contact with the sphere in the flow process of the sphere. At least a part of the above is formed by using an antistatic material having a resistivity higher than that of the conductive polymer material.

According to the second gaming machine of the present invention, the static electricity generated at the contact portion which comes into contact with the sphere in the distribution process of the sphere of the distribution path forming component due to friction with the game sphere, etc.,
It is dispersed in the contact portion of the flow path forming component formed using the conductive polymer material. Therefore, it is less likely that a local high voltage will be generated at the contact portion on the distribution path forming component, and it is possible to prevent static electricity discharged from the distribution path forming component from acting on the control board as noise.

On the other hand, at least a part of the non-contact portion which does not come into contact with the sphere in the distribution process of the sphere of the distribution path forming component is formed by using an antistatic material having a resistivity higher than that of the conductive polymer material. Therefore, the static electricity inside the distribution path forming component on the contact part of the distribution path forming part or at the contact part is less likely to reach the non-contact part, and even if static electricity is applied to the non-contact part, the surface of the part is static. Is maintained in a non-charged state. Therefore, when the non-contact portion of the flow path forming component is touched, the discharge from the surface of the non-contact portion does not cause uncomfortable feeling. Also, the antistatic material is
Since the selection range of material colors is wider than that of conductive polymer materials,
By appropriately coloring the non-contact portion of the distribution path forming component, it is possible to enhance the aesthetics of the entire gaming machine. Further, it is possible to prevent dust from being attracted by the static electricity on the surface of the non-contact portion of the flow path forming component to stain the surface of the non-contact portion.

As described above, according to the second gaming machine of the present invention, it is possible to protect the gaming machine from static electricity without sacrificing the daily usability of the distribution channel forming component and the beauty of the entire distribution channel forming component. Is possible.

As the distribution path forming component in the second gaming machine, a ball tank for temporarily storing the balls supplied from the island of the game hall, and the game balls stored in the ball tank are provided with predetermined conditions. A dispensing device to be dispensed when the dispensing device is formed, a first passage forming component that forms a passage of a ball from the tank to the dispensing device, a dish body for storing the balls dispensed by the dispensing device, and a passageway for the ball from the dispensing device to the dish body It is possible to consider a second passage forming component or the like that forms the.

[0021] The conductive polymer material may be a conductive plastic formed by filling and mixing stainless microfibers in a synthetic resin as a base material. A conductive plastic (hereinafter referred to as “S”, which is formed by mixing and blending stainless microfiber (hereinafter referred to as SMF) as a filler with the synthetic resin as the base material
The "MF-filled conductive plastic") is composed by melting and kneading SMF, which is a spiral microscopic stainless fiber, and a synthetic resin. The composition of the SMF-filled conductive plastic thus formed has conductivity. The volume resistivity of the composition can be set to an arbitrarily small value by adjusting the filling amount of SMF, and of course, it can be set to a value of 10 ⁶ Ω or less.

The antistatic material may be a material in which a conductive layer made of a conductive plastic, which is formed by filling and mixing stainless steel microfibers in a synthetic resin as a base material, is formed only on the surface. The material in which the conductive layer of the SMF-filled conductive plastic is formed only on the surface is produced by performing the above-mentioned kneading treatment using both the SMF-filled conductive plastic and the synthetic resin as the base material. be able to.

It is formed of an antistatic material made of ABS.

As shown in FIG. 5, the ball discharge passage 70d, which is a part of the flow path R4, is made of an antistatic material made of ABS, which is the same material as the mechanism plate 70.
The conductive ball is not used in the ball discharge passage 70d, the ball discharge passage 70d is a game ball B that flows at once.
This is because it is considered that a high voltage is unlikely to occur in the ball discharge passage 70d because the number of contacts is small and the contact frequency between the game balls B during distribution and the contact frequency between the game ball B and the ball discharge passage 70d are low. The inner frame 20 which is a component arranged around the distribution route R4 is also formed of an antistatic material made of ABS.

By forming the parts and parts constituting the distribution paths R1, R2, R3 and the parts and parts arranged around the distribution paths R1, R2, R3 as described above, the distribution paths R1, R2, R2 The static electricity generated in R3 is processed as follows.

First, the distribution route R1 will be described. Static electricity generated on the path forming parts such as the ball tank 72, the tank rail 73, the case rail 74, and the prize ball / ball rental payout unit 75 due to friction with the game ball B is the above-mentioned paths formed of conductive plastic. Guided into the forming part. Here, the protective covers 76a and 76b, the bellows cover 78, and the board covers 57w, 58w, 80w, 81w, 82w, and 84 arranged around the respective path forming components.
Peripheral parts such as w and 86w, the overflow-ball guide unit 130, the mechanism plate 70, and the inner frame 20 are formed using an antistatic material having a higher resistivity than conductive plastic. For this reason, the static electricity generated on each of the above-mentioned route forming components is surely guided and dispersed in the route forming components such as the ball tank 72 having a smaller resistivity without reaching the peripheral components. Even if static electricity is applied to the peripheral components, the surface of the peripheral components is maintained in a state where static electricity is not charged.

In the distribution route R1, as shown in FIG. 4, the prize / ball rental unit 75 made of conductive plastic and the protective covers 76a, 76b made of antistatic material are provided. Are arranged in contact with each other. Therefore, the prize ball / ball rental payout unit 7
The static electricity generated on No. 5 is positively guided to the prize ball / ball rental payout unit 75 side having a smaller resistivity, and the cover 76
It becomes difficult to be guided to the a and 76b sides.

The static electricity dispersed in the path forming parts such as the ball tank 72 in the ball tank 72 in the convex portion 7
2a, 72b and the tank rail 73, those inside the tank rail 73 and case rail 74 are directly from inside the tank rail 73 and case rail 74, and those inside the prize ball / ball rental unit 75 are conductive plastics. It flows out to the metal plate 90 having a large area through the trough base 77 formed in the above. In this way, the static electricity generated in various places is guided to the metal plate 90 having a large area, so that the generation of the high voltage in the vicinity of the distribution route R1 is more thoroughly prevented. The static electricity that has flowed out to the metal plate 90 is
It flows out to the mechanism plate hinges 71 and 79 through 90b,
It is removed to the outside of the aircraft.

Next, the distribution route R2 will be described. In the distribution route R2 on the rear surface of the pachinko gaming machine 10, static electricity generated on the trough base 77 due to friction with the game ball B,
It is introduced into a trough base 77 made of conductive plastic. Here, the bell cover 78 arranged around the bell base 77, the protective covers 76a and 76b, the respective board covers 57w, 58w, 80w, 81w, 82w, 84.
Peripheral parts such as w and 86w, the overflow-ball guide unit 130, the mechanism plate 70, and the inner frame 20 are formed using an antistatic material having a higher resistivity than conductive plastic. Therefore, the static electricity generated on the trough base 77 is surely guided and dispersed in the trough base 77 having a smaller resistivity without reaching the peripheral parts. Even if static electricity is applied to the peripheral components, the surface of the peripheral components is maintained in a state where static electricity is not charged.

Further, in the distribution route R2 on the rear surface of the pachinko gaming machine 10, as shown in FIG. 4, a bell base 77 made of conductive plastic and a bell cover 78 formed by using an antistatic material. And are in contact with each other. Therefore, the static electricity generated on the bell basin base 77 is positively guided to the bell tub base 77 side having a smaller resistivity, and is less likely to be guided to the bell tub cover 78 side.

The static electricity thus reliably dispersed in the bell basin 77 flows out to the metal plate 90 having a large area, and then the hinges 71, 79 for the mechanism plate are provided through the bent portions 90a, 90b.
And is removed to the outside of the aircraft.

On the other hand, in the distribution route R2 on the front of the pachinko gaming machine 10, the static electricity generated on the plate portion 24b of the upper plate 24 and the plate portion 25b of the lower plate 25 due to friction with the game ball B is a conductive plastic. Formed dish portion 24b to dish portion 2
Guided in 5b. Here, the overhanging portion 24a of the upper tray 24 and the overhanging portion 25a of the lower tray 25 which are not in contact with the game ball B are formed of an antistatic material having a resistivity higher than that of conductive plastic, and the dish portion Peripheral parts such as the firing handle 26a, the glass frame 22, and the inner frame 20 arranged around the peripheral portions 24b and 25b are also formed by using the same antistatic material as the protruding portions 24a and 25a. Therefore, the dishes 24b, 25
The static electricity generated on b is reliably guided and dispersed in the dish portions 24b, 25b having a smaller resistivity without reaching the overhanging portions 24a, 25a and the peripheral parts described above. what if,
Even when static electricity is applied to the peripheral parts such as the overhang parts 24a, 25a and the firing handle 26, the overhang parts 24a, 2a
The surfaces of 5a and peripheral parts are maintained in a state where they are not charged with static electricity.

Next, the distribution route R3 will be described. The launch rail 30 and the outer rail 5 due to friction with the game ball B, etc.
1. Static electricity generated on the path forming components such as the inner rail 49 is dispersed in each of the metal path forming components. At this time, the peripheral parts such as the glass frame 22, the inner frame 20, and the foul ball guiding unit 131 arranged around each of the path forming parts are formed using an antistatic material having a resistivity higher than that of metal. Therefore, the static electricity generated on each of the above-mentioned route forming components is surely guided and dispersed in the route forming components such as the firing rail 30 having a smaller resistivity without reaching the peripheral components. Even if the peripheral components such as the glass frame 22 are statically charged, the surfaces of the peripheral components are maintained in a state where the static electricity is not charged.

As described above, the distribution channels R1, R2, R3
By forming the parts and parts constituting the above with a conductive material such as conductive plastic or metal and the parts and parts arranged around the distribution paths R1, R2, R3 with an antistatic material, the distribution paths R1, R2, The static electricity generated on each component forming R3 is surely dispersed in each component. As a result, a local high voltage is not generated on or around the components forming the distribution paths R1, R2, R3, and the influence of noise due to static electricity is greatly reduced as compared with the conventional case. In addition, in the pachinko gaming machine 10 described above, in addition to the use of the conductive material and the antistatic material described above, various control boards are laid, a power supply / launch control board plate 83, a main board plate 85, and a payout control. The plate plate 87 and the lamp / audio board plate 59 are connected to each other, and the launch rail 30, the inner rail 49, and the outer rail 5 are connected.
The structure that removes the static electricity charged to 1 etc. outside the machine is adopted. The result of measuring the influence of noise due to static electricity during a game in such a pachinko gaming machine 10 is shown in the graph of FIG.

FIG. 8 is a graph showing a potential difference generated in the pachinko gaming machine before and after the payout of the prize balls and the rental balls. In this graph, changes in the potential difference in the power supply line are collected as data, the vertical axis represents the potential difference, and the horizontal axis represents the elapsed time. Further, FIG. 8A shows the measurement result of the conventional pachinko gaming machine, and FIG. 8B shows the measurement result of the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment. As shown in FIG. 8, before the payout of prize balls or rental balls, the potential difference in the power supply line is stable at around 5 volts.

As can be seen by comparing FIG. 8 (A) and FIG. 8 (B), in the conventional pachinko game machine, when paying out prize balls or rental balls, the maximum is 11 volts and the minimum. -2 volt potential difference occurs, the width W2 at which the voltage changes is 1
It will be 3 volts. On the other hand, in the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment, when paying out a prize ball or a rental ball, a potential difference of 6 V at maximum and 4 V at minimum occurs, and the width W1 in which the voltage changes is 2 V. Becomes As described above, in the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment, the width of the change in the voltage of the power supply line at the time of paying out the prize balls or the rental balls is limited to about ± 1 volt, which is about ⅙ of the conventional pachinko gaming machine. It is reduced to. From the above, in the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment, it is understood that noise due to static electricity generated by payout of prize balls or ball rentals is less likely to be transferred to the power supply line, as compared with the conventional product.

The pachinko gaming machine 1 of this embodiment described above
In the case of 0, the parts and portions forming the distribution channels R1 and R2 are formed using conductive plastic, and the distribution channels R1 and R2 are
Parts and portions arranged around the are formed using an antistatic material. For this reason, the static electricity generated on the components or parts that constitute the distribution routes R1 and R2 is reliably dispersed in the distribution routes R1 and R2 due to the difference in resistivity, and the distribution routes R1 and R2
It becomes difficult to reach the parts and parts arranged around the. Therefore, the static electricity discharged from the components and parts forming the distribution paths R1 and R2 is generated as noise in the respective control boards 57a and 58.
a, 81a, 82a, 84a, 86a is prevented, and when the parts or parts arranged around the distribution channels R1, R2 are touched, numbness caused by discharge from the surface of these parts or parts Such an unpleasant phenomenon can be effectively prevented. As described above, according to the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment, it becomes possible to protect the pachinko gaming machine 10 from static electricity while improving the daily usability of the pachinko gaming machine 10. Furthermore, the distribution route R1,
It is possible to effectively prevent a situation in which the surface of each component or part becomes dirty due to the dust being attracted by the static electricity on the surface of the component or part arranged around R2.

Further, since the antistatic material has a wider selection range of material colors than conductive materials such as conductive plastics and metals, parts and portions arranged around the distribution channels R1 and R2 are preferably colored. This can enhance the aesthetics of the entire pachinko gaming machine 10. Pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment
The black portion, which is the material color of the conductive plastic, is shown in FIGS. As shown in FIG. 2, when the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment is viewed from the front side, there is no portion where the black material color is exposed except for the plate portion 25b of the lower plate 25,

Even when 0 is viewed from the rear side, as shown in FIG.
The range in which the black material color is exposed is small with respect to the entire area of the rear surface of the pachinko gaming machine 10, and a favorable aesthetic feeling is secured. Further, since the black portion is small, it is easy to visually recognize the arrangement of the respective parts on the rear surface of the pachinko gaming machine 10 and the connection relationship between the parts.

In the pachinko gaming machine 10 of this embodiment, the prize ball / ball rental payout unit 75 made of conductive plastic and the protective covers 76a and 76b formed of the antistatic material are mutually provided in the distribution route R1. Since the contact balls are arranged in contact with each other, the static electricity generated on the prize ball / ball rental payout unit 75 is positively guided to the prize ball / ball rental payout unit 75 side having a smaller resistivity, and the covers 76a and 76b.
It will be difficult to be guided to the side. Therefore, it is possible to surely disperse the static electricity in the prize ball / ball rental unit 75, and it is possible to reliably prevent the covers 76a and 76b from being charged. Such an effect can also be obtained between the trough base 77 and the trough cover 78 in the distribution route R2.

The embodiments of the present invention have been described above.
The invention is not limited to these examples,
The present invention can be implemented in various modes without departing from the scope of the invention.

For example, in the above-described embodiment, the parts and parts made of conductive plastic are used as the ball tank 72, the tank rail 73, and the case rail 74 in the distribution route R1.
In addition, in the prize ball / ball rental unit 75 and the distribution route R2, the trough base 77, the plate portion 24b of the upper plate 24 and the plate portion 25b of the lower plate 25 are used, but only some of these parts and parts are made conductive. It may be formed of a flexible material. For example, in the flow path R1, only the ball tank 72 may be made of conductive plastic. Also, like the ball tank 72, the tank rail 73, the case rail 74, the prize ball / ball rental payout unit 75, the plate portion 24b of the upper plate 24, the plate portion 25b of the lower plate 25, the game ball B is in each distribution channel. Only the portion that can be stored may be formed of conductive plastic.

Further, parts and portions other than the above may be formed of a conductive member. For example, in the distribution route R2, the guide path 70b, the branch path 70c, and the overflow-ball guide unit 130 may be formed of conductive plastic. Specifically, in the case of the guide passage 70b and the branch passage 70c, the parts having the passage shapes of the guide passage 70b and the branch passage 70c (hereinafter referred to as the guide passage forming component and the branch passage forming component, respectively) are referred to as the mechanism plate 70. Separately, it may be formed by using a conductive plastic and the guide path forming component and the branch path forming component may be mounted on the mechanism plate 70. Similarly, in the distribution route R4, a component having the shape of the ball discharge passage 70d (hereinafter referred to as a ball discharge passage forming component) is formed separately from the mechanism plate 70 by using conductive plastic, and the ball discharge passage is formed. The forming component may be attached to the mechanism plate 70. Further, in the distribution route R3, the launch rail 30, the outer rail 51, and the inner rail 49 may be made of conductive plastic.

In the above-mentioned embodiment, the protective covers 76a, 76a are used as parts and parts arranged around the distribution channels R1 to R4.
76b, bellows cover 78, covers 57w, 58 for each substrate
w, 80w, 81w, 82w, 84w, 86w, mechanical plate 70, overflow-ball guide unit 130, upper plate 24
Overhanging portion 24a, lower plate 25 overhanging portion 25a, firing handle 26a, foul ball guiding unit 131, glass frame 2
2. The inner frame 20 is formed of the antistatic material, but only a part of these parts or portions may be formed of the antistatic material. For example, in the distribution route R1, each substrate cover 5
7w, 58w, 80w, 81w, 82w, 84w, 86
Only w may be formed of an antistatic material.

Further, parts and parts other than the above may be formed of an antistatic material. For example, the game board 40 arranged around the distribution route R3, the special symbol display device 41, the normal winning opening 43, the special winning opening 46, the windmill 47, and various other types of accessories may be formed of an antistatic material.

As described above, which of the parts and parts constituting the distribution channels R1 to R4 are made of conductive plastic, and which part or part is arranged around the distribution channels R1 to R4. In view of this, it is possible to appropriately select whether to form the antistatic material. A list of the selectable combinations is shown in FIG.

In FIG. 9, the parts and portions forming the distribution channels R1 to R4 are referred to as "path forming parts", and the names of the path forming parts made of conductive plastic are listed in the vertical axis direction. At the same time, the parts and parts arranged around the distribution channels R1 to R4 are referred to as "peripheral parts", and the names of the peripheral parts formed of the antistatic material are listed in the horizontal axis direction. In addition,
In the table of FIG. 9, ◎ (double circle) indicates an optimal combination of the route forming component made of conductive plastic and the peripheral component made of antistatic material, and ○ (single circle). (Circles) indicate what seems to be a suitable combination of the route forming component made of conductive plastic and the peripheral component made of antistatic material. Further, a triangle (triangle) mark is a path forming part formed of conductive plastic if the installation positions of the parts and parts listed as peripheral parts on the pachinko gaming machine 10 are changed to positions around the path forming part. The following shows what can be applied as a combination of peripheral parts formed of antistatic materials.

Referring to FIG. 9, a ball tank 72 is used as a path forming component formed of conductive plastic in the distribution path R1.
The case will be described. When the ball tank 72 is made of a conductive plastic, as shown in FIG. 9, protective covers 76a, 76b, a bell cover 78, covers 57w, 58w, 80w, 81w, 82w, 84 for each substrate are provided.
A combination in which w, 86w, the mechanism plate 70, the inner frame 20, and the outer frame 12 are formed of an antistatic material as peripheral parts is optimal. This is because these peripheral parts are arranged at positions close to the ball tank 72 and are likely to come into contact with people.

When the ball tank 72 is made of conductive plastic, as shown in FIG. 9, the tank rail 73, the case rail 74, the prize ball / ball rental unit 7
A combination in which 5 and the like are regarded as peripheral parts of the ball tank 72 and formed of an antistatic material is suitable. In this case, the static electricity generated in the distribution route R1 is guided and dispersed in the ball tank 72, and the metal plate 90, the mechanism plate hinge 71,
It is removed to the outside through 79.

On the other hand, the combination in which the ball tank 72 is made of conductive plastic and the upper plate 24, the lower plate 25, etc. are made of an antistatic material can be applied by changing the installation position of the upper plate 24, the lower plate 25, etc. Has been done. This is because the upper plate 24, the lower plate 25, and the like are located on the front surface side of the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment, so it is considered that the probability that static electricity will be applied from the ball tank 72 on the rear surface side of the pachinko gaming machine 10 is low. As an example of changing the installation positions of the upper plate 24 and the lower plate 25, the upper plate 24
It is possible to consider the case where the shape of the lower plate 25 is a shape in which a part of the lower plate 25 extends to the rear surface side of the pachinko gaming machine 10.
In this case, the upper plate 24 or the lower plate 25 and the ball tank 72 are both arranged on the rear surface side of the pachinko gaming machine 10. Therefore, when the ball tank 72 is made of a conductive plastic and the upper plate 24 and the lower plate 25 are made of an antistatic material, static electricity from the ball tank 72 is removed.
4 and the surface of the lower plate 25 can be effectively prevented from being charged.

In the above-described embodiment, a part of the upper plate 24 and the lower plate 25 (dish parts 24b, 25b) is made of conductive plastic, and the parts other than the plate parts 24b, 25b (the overhang part 24).
a, 25a) is formed of an antistatic material.
Regarding parts other than the lower tray 25, a part of the parts may be made of conductive plastic, and the other parts may be made of antistatic material. Examples of such parts include a ball tank 72, a tank rail 73, a case rail 74, a prize ball / ball rental unit 75, a trough base 77, a guide path forming part, a branch path forming part, and a mechanism plate 7.
0, the game board 40, the glass frame 22, the inner frame 20, etc. can be considered.

Further, in the above embodiment, the distribution routes R1 to R
Although the parts and parts forming 4 are made of conductive plastic, it goes without saying that they may be made of a conductive polymer material other than conductive plastic (for example, conductive rubber). Also in this case, it is possible to obtain substantially the same effect as that of the above-mentioned embodiment.

In the above embodiment, the one having a volume resistivity of 10 ⁶ Ω or less is a conductive plastic and the one having a surface resistivity of 10 ⁶ Ω.
Those having a thickness of more than 10 are distinguished as the antistatic material, but such a distinction is merely an example, and it is possible to employ an antistatic material having a surface resistivity of 10 ⁶ Ω or less in the above embodiment. In such a case, the distribution routes R1, R
The parts and portions forming 2, R3 are formed by using a conductive polymer material such as a conductive plastic, and the distribution channels R1, R
By forming the parts and parts arranged around R2 and R3 by using an antistatic material having a resistivity higher than that of the conductive polymer material, the parts and parts forming the flow paths R1, R2 and R3 can be formed. The generated static electricity is distributed through the distribution path R1, due to the difference in resistivity.
Being surely dispersed in R2 and R3, the distribution channels R1, R2
It becomes difficult to reach the parts and parts arranged around R3.
Therefore, it is possible to obtain the same effect as that of the above embodiment.

In the above description, the parts and parts formed by using the conductive plastic are replaced with the synthetic resin as the base material.
Stainless steel microfiber as filler (hereinafter, S
It may be formed using a conductive plastic (hereinafter referred to as "SMF-filled conductive plastic") that is formed by filling and blending MF). Further, in the above description, the parts or portions formed by using the antistatic material may be formed by using the material in which the conductive layer made of the SMF filled conductive plastic is formed only on the surface.

SMF is 10 μm on average and 300 μm in length.
It is a minute stainless fiber of m and has a spiral three-dimensional curved surface structure. SMF is manufactured by cutting SUS304 stainless steel. SMF, which is stainless steel, has better corrosion resistance than fillers such as copper.

The SMF filled conductive plastic is manufactured as follows. First, the synthetic resin particles and the SMF are stirred to generate mixed pellets in which the synthetic resin particles and the SMF are mixed. Next, the mixed pellets are melt-kneaded to produce kneaded pellets in which SMF is uniformly dispersed in the synthetic resin particles. In this kneaded pellet, since the SMF dispersed in the synthetic resin particles has a spiral shape, a uniform mesh of SMF is formed in the synthetic resin particles. The formation of such kneaded pellets constitutes the SMF-filled conductive plastic.

In the SMF-filled conductive plastic thus formed, the entire composition is conductive. The volume resistivity of the composition can be set to an arbitrarily small value by adjusting the filling amount of SMF, and of course, it can be set to a value of 10 ⁶ Ω or less.

The SMF-filled conductive plastic having the above composition is molded into various shapes using a molding machine such as an injection molding machine or an extrusion molding machine to obtain a final molded product made of the SMF-filled conductive plastic. Can be produced. For example, when only the SMF-filled conductive plastic is injected into the above molding machine, a final molded product having overall conductivity can be produced.

Further, when the kneading treatment of mixing the SMF-filled conductive plastic with the synthetic resin as the base material to form the conductive layer on the surface, the conductive layer of the SMF-filled conductive plastic is formed only on the surface. Material (hereinafter,
“SMF surfacing”) can be produced, and such SMF surfacing can be viewed as one of the antistatic materials mentioned above. As a concrete method for realizing the above kneading treatment, a method of injecting SMF-filled conductive plastic and synthetic resin as a base material into the above-mentioned molding machine to perform multicolor molding can be considered. SMF like this
When the surface material is used, a final molded product having only the surface having conductivity is produced.

The surface resistivity of the SMF surface material can be set to an arbitrarily small value by adjusting the filling amount of SMF. When the SMF surface material is used as the antistatic material in the above embodiment, the surface resistivity of the SMF surface material is made larger than the volume resistivity of the conductive polymer material such as conductive plastic or SMF filled conductive plastic. Is preferred. By doing this, the distribution channels R1, R2
Static electricity generated on the parts and parts forming R3 is surely dispersed in the distribution paths R1, R2, R3 due to the difference in resistivity, and the static electricity generated on the parts and parts arranged around the distribution paths R1, R2, R3. This is because it becomes difficult to obtain the same effect as in the above embodiment.

The final molded product molded using such an SMF-filled conductive plastic or SMF surface material has the following features.

(1) Uniform Conductive SMF Filling In the conductive plastic, SMF as a filler is uniformly dispersed in a mesh in a synthetic resin as a base material. Therefore, the final molded product molded using the SMF-filled conductive plastic or the SMF surface material has substantially uniform surface resistance and volume resistance in each part, and as a result, has substantially uniform conductivity in each part. Therefore, the conductivity of the final molded product does not vary greatly from part to part (conductivity unevenness occurs).

Further, the SMF dispersed in the SMF-filled conductive plastic is a very fine stainless fiber. Therefore, SMF filled conductive plastics and SMF
When the final molded product is molded with the surface material, the total amount of stainless steel fibers remaining in the final molded product is almost constant regardless of the molding conditions. The fiber length remaining in the product does not change subtly depending on the mold structure and molding conditions during molding. Therefore, it is possible to keep the conductivity of each of the plurality of molded final molded products substantially equal.

(2) In the dust-proof SMF-filled conductive plastic, fine fiber SMFs are dispersed in a mesh in a synthetic resin as a base material. Therefore, SMF filled conductive plastics and SMF
In the final molded product molded using the surface material, the SMF as the filler is unlikely to be detached from the surface of the final molded product, and the generation of dust due to the detachment of the filler can be prevented. Also,
Comparing the conductive plastics using carbon black as the filler with the SMF-filled conductive plastics and the SMF surface materials, the SMF-filled conductive plastics and the SMF surface materials are better when they have the same surface resistivity. It is known to be less likely to wear. Therefore, SMF
In the final molded product molded using the filled conductive plastic and the SMF surface material, the situation of dust generation due to abrasion is unlikely to occur.

(3) Aesthetically sensitive SMF filled stainless steel fibers dispersed as a filler in a conductive plastic are extremely fine. Therefore, S
The surface of the final molded product molded using the MF-filled conductive plastic or the SMF surface material is a smooth surface in which the filled stainless fiber is not visible. For example, it is unlikely that the filler will float on the surface of the final molded product.

The SMF-filled conductive plastic is
It is possible to color various colors by using dyes and pigments. Therefore, SMF filled conductive plastics and SMF
The final molded product molded using the surface material can also be used at a site that affects the aesthetics of the product. Thus, S
The final molded product molded using the MF-filled conductive plastic or the SMF surface material has an excellent appearance.

(4) Others In addition to the above, since the SMF-filled conductive plastic uses stainless steel, which has excellent corrosion resistance, as a filler, it is more conductive by oxidation over time than when other metals such as copper are used as the filler. It is characterized in that it is less likely to deteriorate, and warpage deformation is less likely to occur in the final molded product after molding due to heating or the like.

Therefore, the distribution route R of the pachinko gaming machine 10
1, R2, R3, R4 constituting parts and parts, and parts and parts arranged around the flow paths R1, R2, R3, R4 are molded using SMF-filled conductive plastic or SMF surface material, The advantages of (1) to (4) above can be enjoyed. For example, if rail parts such as the tank rail 73, the case rail 74, the launch rail 30, and the outer rail 51 are molded by using SMF-filled conductive plastic or SMF surface material, the rail parts and the game can be played due to the advantage of (2) above. Dust is less likely to collect on the rail parts due to friction with the ball B, and a smooth flow of the game ball B can be secured. In addition, the inner frame 20, the glass frame 22, the upper plate 24,
If the parts such as the lower plate 25 that can be seen from the front side of the pachinko gaming machine 10 are molded by using SMF-filled conductive plastic or SMF surface material, due to the advantage of (3) above, the parts and parts visually recognized by the player The color can be selected more freely, and the aesthetics of the pachinko gaming machine 10 can be further enhanced.

A pachinko gaming machine 10 which is an embodiment of the present invention.
Is configured such that the game ball B can be replenished to the upper plate 24 by lending a ball, or the game ball B paid out to the upper plate 24 or the lower plate 25 can be taken out of the machine. The present invention can be applied to other gaming machines in which a game ball is enclosed and the ball is circulated to play a game.
Further, in the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the above embodiment, the game ball B
A predetermined number of game balls B are paid out as prize balls in accordance with the entry of the normal prize hole 43 or the like, but another game in which a predetermined number of metals, prizes, etc. are paid out in place of such prize balls. The present invention can be applied to a machine. Arrange balls, pachinko toys, and the like can be considered as such gaming machines.
