[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an improvement of a pachinko game machine, and more particularly, when a game ball launched from a game ball launching device into a game ball guiding path returns to a foul ball and returns in the guiding path. The present invention relates to a pachinko game machine that is designed to prevent a collision with a launch ball.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art A pachinko gaming machine has a wooden frame 1 as shown in the front view of FIG. Front frame 2,
A glass door 3 that is pivotally supported in the front-rear direction by a front frame 2, a game board 4 that is detachably attached to the inside of the front frame 2, and a rear side of the game board 4 that can be opened and closed via a hinge. And a mechanical plate made of synthetic resin (not shown) attached. A front plate 6 is attached below the glass door 3 so as to be openable and closable so as to cover a firing rail and a ball striking rod which are not shown, and a ball hitting tray 7 is provided on the front surface of the front plate 6. At the lower part of the front frame 2, a game ball launching handle 8 forming a part of the game ball launching device is arranged, and a ball hitting tray 7 is provided.
A lower plate 9 for storing game balls and foul balls that cannot be stored on the upper side is arranged. In the game area 11 which constitutes the front surface of the game board 4, for example, a symbol variation display device 1 for displaying a plurality of symbols in the center while vertically moving (rotating) the symbols one by one.
2 are arranged, and board parts such as a winning opening 13 and a windmill 14 and game nails are arranged around them. On the left side edge of the game board 4, a game ball guide path 21 for guiding the game ball launched from the game ball launching device arranged in the lower part of the game machine into the game area 11 is formed extending vertically. There is. The game ball guiding path 21 is an outer rail 22 arranged in an arc along the left side edge of the game board 4, and an inner rail projecting inside the outer rail 22 (game area side) on the game board surface. It is a passage of the game ball formed between 23 and. The outer rail 22 and the inner rail 23 have a structure in which a strip-shaped metal thin plate having a constant width is curved into a predetermined R shape and is vertically fixed to the game board surface. Further, at the upper part of the game ball guide path 21, an outlet section 24 for discharging the game ball moving upward in the game ball guide path into the game area 11 of the game board 4 is arranged, and further the outlet section 2
4, a ball return prevention member 25 is arranged to prevent the game ball released from the game ball guide path 21 from returning to the game ball guide path. In addition, a foul ball discharge port (not shown) for accepting a foul ball returned downward without exceeding the ball return preventing member after being launched from the game ball launching device into the game ball guiding route is provided at the bottom of the game ball guiding route 21. It is arranged. The ball return prevention device 25 includes a base portion 25a fixed to the game board surface corresponding to the upper portion of the inner rail 23, a tongue piece 25b rotatably supported by the base portion 25a, and protruding to close the outlet portion 24, and the like. There is. The tongue piece 25b that normally closes the outlet portion 24 is the game ball guiding path 2
While being pushed up by the game ball that is raised in 1 and discharged from the outlet 24 to allow it to pass therethrough, the game ball elastically returns to the illustrated closed position after passing through the outlet 24. Is configured.

By the way, among the game balls launched by the game ball launching device, the game ball that does not have sufficient kinetic energy at the time of launch falls between the rails as a foul ball without passing over the tongue piece 25b of the return prevention device 25. , Is guided from the foul ball outlet to the lower plate 9. In other words, the launched game ball moves along the outer rail 22 when rising, but the game ball without momentum leaves the outer rail, falls onto the inner rail 23, and is guided downward along the inner rail. To be done. Conventional guide route 2
Since the width of 1 is narrow, the foul ball B1 is the game ball guide path 2
When the next game ball B2 is launched and rises while reversing in 1, the next launch ball B2 is the foul ball in the game ball guide path 21 as shown in FIG. 3 (b). It collides with B1 and loses its ascending force, making it impossible to smoothly jump into the game area 11 from the exit portion 24. Such a phenomenon further induces repeated collisions with subsequent shooting balls, hinders continuity of the game, and results in halving the interest of the player. In particular, as in the case of pachinko game machines belonging to the second class, when a slight deviation in the timing at which the launch ball jumps into the game area is an important factor that influences the winning ball occurrence rate, Since the phenomenon that the launch ball does not jump into the game area at the intended timing causes a decrease in the popularity of the model, improvement in this point is strongly demanded. In order to prevent the collision of the game balls in the game route, for example, the position of the inner rail 23 may be arranged further inside and the width of the guide route 21 may be expanded. This is not an effective solution, because the area of the game area becomes narrower by the amount of the inward displacement, resulting in the restriction of the layout and layout of the board surface parts and the like. In addition, even if the guide path width is simply expanded, there is no change in the situation in which the foul ball and the subsequent launch ball move in opposite directions in the same guide path, so it is difficult to completely prevent the collision between the two. there were.

[0004]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made in view of the above, and a game ball that is launched from a game ball launching device and rises in a game ball guiding path formed between inner and outer rails is a foul ball. It will fall, and the kinetic energy of the subsequent launch ball generated by colliding with the subsequent launch ball will be reduced, problems such as delay in the timing to jump into the game area will be solved at once, smoothness of the game, fun An object of the present invention is to provide a pachinko game machine that can improve the quality.

[0005]

In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the invention of claim 1 is to provide an outer rail for a game ball guide projectingly provided on a front surface of a game board and projectingly provided inside the outer rail. An inner rail forming a game ball guide path between the outer rail and the outer rail, a game ball launching device located below the game ball guide path for launching a game ball in the game ball guide path, and the game ball guide path An exit portion for discharging a game ball, which is located at an upper part of the game ball and moves upward in the game ball guiding path, into the game area of the game board, and after being discharged from the game ball launching device into the game ball guiding path, In a pachinko gaming machine provided with a foul ball discharge port that receives a foul ball that has returned downward without exceeding an exit part, in the pachinko gaming machine, the upper end of the inner rail ends at a substantially intermediate height position of the game area. The inner rail lower piece and the inner rail lower piece on the upper inner side An inner rail upper piece that extends upward from the board surface and forms the guide path wide portion and the outlet portion between the outer rail and the outer rail; and an upper portion of the inner rail lower piece and a lower portion of the inner rail upper piece. The foul ball discharge port is arranged on the game board surface between the two. In a pachinko game machine, a game ball launched from a launcher is raised along a game ball guide path defined by inner and outer rails, and jumped into a game area of a game board from an exit portion of the guide path. . Due to insufficient kinetic energy, some foul balls that start to fall in the course of the guide path before being discharged from the exit part are generated in the game balls that have been launched. When a foul ball occurs, the subsequent launch ball collides with the foul ball in a narrow guide path and falls as a new foul ball.
Such a phenomenon is a cause of diminishing the interest of the player. To solve this problem, it may be possible to increase the distance between the inner and outer rails, but even if the width of the guide path is simply widened, the foul ball is located below the guide path. There is still the possibility of collision with a subsequent launch ball before reaching the outlet.
In other words, even if the width of the guide route is simply expanded, the collision between the two cannot be avoided as long as there are game balls moving in different directions in the same guide route. Also, if you expand the width of the entire guide path, the overall area of the game area will become smaller, etc.
There is a risk of adversely affecting the layout of other components. Therefore, in the present invention, by displacing only a predetermined range on the upper side of the inner rail to the game area side and configuring only the upper half of the guide path to be wide, interference and collision between the foul ball and the subsequent launch ball. On the other hand, the wide guide route part is set to the minimum necessary length, and the foul ball discharge port is provided at the lower end of the wide guide route part that does not interfere with the narrow guide route part. . For this reason, the area where the falling path of the foul ball and the ascending path of the subsequent launch ball coexist is limited to the upper side of the middle height position of the game board, and both game balls are in the guide path below that position. Will never interfere. Moreover, since the area where the movement paths of both game balls that move in opposite directions coexist is wide, the interference of both game balls is prevented as much as possible. Further, since the inner rail upper piece is arranged only in a part of the game area and the guide path wide portion is provided, there is no fear that the game area becomes excessively narrow and the degree of freedom in arranging components is disturbed.

According to a second aspect of the present invention, in the first aspect, the inner rail upper piece is made of a cushioning material, and a foul ball dropped on the inner rail upper piece falls along the inner rail upper piece without bouncing. Then, it is configured such that it can be dropped into the foul ball discharge port. Even if the upper half of the game ball guide path is configured as a wide part, there is no risk that the foul ball that starts falling while rising along the outer rail will bounce on the upper piece of the inner rail and interfere with the subsequent launch ball. Not. Therefore, in the present invention, at least a part of the upper piece of the inner rail is made of a cushioning material to suppress the bounce of the foul ball as much as possible to prevent the above-mentioned problem. Therefore, the foul ball bounced by the upper piece of the inner rail can drop along the upper piece of the inner rail with almost no bounce and go straight to the foul ball discharge port. In the invention of claim 3, in claim 1 or 2, the intermediate ball return prevention member is projected into the game ball guiding path between the inner rail lower piece upper part and the outer rail, and inside the guiding path wide portion. It is characterized in that the game ball that has returned to the above is configured to be guided to the foul ball discharge port by the intermediate ball return prevention member. When a game ball that has become a foul ball in the wide part of the guide path falls, there is a risk that it will enter the narrow part of the guide path due to a cause such as bouncing on the inner rail. In this case, it becomes impossible to avoid a collision with a subsequent launch ball. In the present invention, since the tongue piece of the intermediate sphere return preventing member is arranged to project in the upper opening of the narrow portion of the guide path,
The foul ball is prevented from returning to the inside of the narrow portion of the guide path by the tongue piece and is guided as it is to the foul ball discharge port. In the invention of claim 4, claim 1, 2 or 3
In the above, the space between the inner rail upper piece and the outer rail is configured to gradually increase from the outlet portion toward the foul ball discharge port. With this structure, the foul ball can be smoothly dropped along the inner rail after falling on the inner rail, and the possibility of interference with the subsequent launch ball is greatly reduced. Will be done.

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION Hereinafter, a pachinko gaming machine according to the present invention will be specifically described based on the embodiments shown in the drawings. FIG. 1 is a partial schematic diagram for explaining the principle of a pachinko gaming machine according to an embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a diagram for explaining its operation. It should be noted that other components of the pachinko gaming machine, which are not shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, are also referred to with reference to FIG. 3, and the same portions will be denoted by the same reference numerals or will be described by reference.

This pachinko game machine is provided with an outer rail 22 for guiding a game ball which is arranged in an arc shape along at least the left end edge of the game board 4, and an outer rail which is arranged inside (x direction) of the outer rail 22. An arc-shaped inner rail 23 that forms a game ball guide path 21 extending vertically between 22 and a game ball (not shown) that is located below the game ball guide path 21 and shoots a game ball into the game ball guide path 21. Provided in the ball launching device, the exit part 24 for discharging the game ball located at the upper end of the game ball guide path 21 and moving upward in the game ball guide path into the game area 11 of the game board 4, and the exit part 24. The ball returning prevention member 25 for preventing the returned and released game ball from returning to the game ball guide path, and the exit part 24 (ball) after being discharged from the game ball launching device into the game ball guide path. Do not go over the return prevention member 25) Includes a foul ball outlet 26 for receiving a foul ball came back towards the. Game board 4
In the game area 11, the board surface parts, the game nails and the like as shown in FIG. 3 are attached.

The outer rail 22 and the inner rail 23 both have a structure in which strip-shaped thin plates made of metal or any other material are erected on the game board surface, and the inner rail 23 moves in the game ball guide path 21. It is a partitioning means for preventing the game ball from moving into the game area from a place other than the exit portion 24. The inner rail 23 according to the present invention has a curved inner rail lower piece 31 whose upper end portion 31a ends at a substantially intermediate height position of the game area 11, and an inner side (x) of the upper end portion 31a of the inner rail lower piece 31. It is provided with an inner rail upper piece 32 which extends upward (in the y-axis direction) in a curved shape from the game board surface closer to the axial direction and ends at an appropriate place in the upper part of the game area. The inner rail lower piece 31 is connected to the outer rail 22 portion at a position opposite to the guide rail narrowing portion 2
1a is formed, and the inner rail upper piece 32 forms the guide path wide portion 21b and the outlet portion 24 between itself and the outer rail 22 portion at the opposite position. The guide route wide portion 21b is wider than the guide route narrow portion 21a, and is configured such that the width gradually increases from the outlet portion 24 toward the lower side. That is, the opening width of the outlet portion 24 is set to be substantially equal to the opening width of the outlet portion formed between the upper end portion of the conventional inner rail and the outer rail located at the position shown by the broken line. The position of the lower end portion 32b of the inner rail upper piece 32 is determined by the inner rail lower piece 31.
Since it is displaced further inward than the upper end portion 31a of the guide path, the guide path wide portion 21b corresponding to substantially the upper half of the guide path 21 is formed.
Has a shape in which the width gradually increases toward the bottom.
A ball return prevention member 25 is provided at the outlet 24 formed between the upper end 32 a of the inner rail upper piece 32 and the outer rail 22. The ball return prevention member 25 includes a base portion 25a fixed to the game board surface, a tongue piece 25b rotatably supported by the base portion 25a, and protruding so as to close the outlet portion 24, and the like. Tongue piece 25b that normally closes the outlet 24
Is lifted in the game ball guide path 21 and pressed by the game ball discharged from the outlet 24 to retract (open) upward to allow its passage, while the game ball has passed the outlet 24. Is configured to elastically return to the illustrated closed position.

One characteristic construction of the pachinko gaming machine according to this embodiment is that the inner rail 23 is placed under the upper two portions 3
1 and 32, and the foul ball discharge port 26 is arranged on the game board surface located between the upper portion 31a of the inner rail lower piece 31 and the lower portion 32b of the inner rail upper piece 32. In other words, the inner rail lower piece 31 has the same positional relationship with the outer rail 22 as the conventional one, but the inner rail upper piece 32 has the conventional inner rail position (inner rail) shown by the dotted line in FIG. It is placed inside the lower line (extension line),
Moreover, the guide path 21 (2
The width of 1b) is configured to gradually increase downward. In addition, the upper part of the inner rail lower piece 31 and the lower part of the inner rail upper piece are
The respective positions in the height direction may be configured to partially overlap each other, or may be configured not to overlap each other. In any case, by disposing the foul ball discharge port 26 (and the intermediate ball return preventing member 27) on the board surface between the upper part of the inner rail lower piece 31 and the lower part of the inner rail upper piece 31, the foul ball is made to fall. It can be introduced into the outlet 26. The foul ball discharge port 26 is a means for receiving the returning game ball and guiding it to the lower plate 9 shown in FIG.
In this example, it is formed at a position closer to the lower end portion 32b of the inner rail upper piece 32. In addition, the upper portion 31 of the inner rail lower piece 31
On the game board surface located between a and the lower portion 32b of the inner rail upper piece 32, an intermediate ball return prevention member 27 is arranged at a position adjacent to the foul ball discharge port 26. The intermediate sphere return prevention member 27 is a means for preventing a foul ball that has fallen in the guide path wide portion 21b from entering the guide path narrow portion 21a, and is composed of a main body 27a and a tongue piece 27b. ing. The tongue piece 27b normally protrudes above the guiding path narrow portion 21a to prevent the foul ball from entering the guiding path narrow portion 21a, while the tongue piece 2b
It functions to guide the foul ball that has fallen onto 7b into the fal ball discharge port 26 that is arranged adjacent to it. On the other hand, the tongue piece 27b
Is newly launched from the launching device and the guide path narrow portion 21
It is pushed by the game ball that has risen in a and retracts, allowing the game ball to move upward. After passing the game ball, the tongue returns to the position shown.

Next, the behavior of the foul ball B1 in the pachinko gaming machine of the present invention and the principle of the foul ball processing will be described with reference to FIG. In the present invention, the guide route 2
By providing the guide route wide portion 21b in the substantially upper half portion of 1, the foul ball B1 falling in the guide route wide portion 21b.
Secures a space in the width direction so that it can pass the newly launched game ball (B2), and considers that the return path of the foul ball is a deviated path that does not interfere with the newly launched ball (B2). is doing. That is, the new launch ball (B2) rises along the outer rail 22, while the foul ball B1 launched earlier falls on the inner rail upper piece 32 and is guided downward along it. Because
Both do not interfere. That is, in the present invention, in order to reliably prevent the foul ball from interfering with a new launch ball, the upper proper position of the inner rail 23, that is, the inner rail upper piece 32 is located inside the conventional inner rail (x-axis). Direction). That is, the game ball B1 (position a) that has been launched from the launch device and has risen in the narrow guide path portion 21a is y =
After the height of 0 is exceeded, when the rising force in the y-axis direction disappears, the game ball B1 becomes a foul ball and starts to separate from the outer rail 22 (position b), but at this time, the game as a fal ball. The sphere B1 performs a uniform linear motion in the x-axis direction (horizontal direction) and a free-fall motion in the y-axis direction (longitudinal direction). Therefore, the foul ball B1 which has lost the kinetic energy directed upward and is separated from the outer rail 22 falls on the inner rail upper piece 32 which is displaced in the x-axis direction (position c), and then the inner rail upper piece 32. Guided down 32. For this reason, the guide path wide portion 21 is newly fired.
Ascending path of the game ball (B2) to rise b and foul ball B
The possibility that the 1 and the 1 interfere with each other is greatly reduced, and the probability that the two collide with each other is significantly reduced. Therefore, the guide route wide portion 21b
It is preferable that the width is set to be at least about twice the width of the narrow guide path portion 21a at the maximum position (lowermost portion).

However, the configuration such as the width of the guide route wide portion 21b can be variously selected according to various conditions such as the model and the relationship with the peripheral parts, and the game ball rising along the outer rail 22 is a foul ball. And when it falls,
When falling on the inner rail upper piece 32 and falling along the inner rail upper piece 32, the dimensions of the respective parts may be set so as not to interfere with the newly rising game ball. Further, the foul ball B1 dropped along the inner rail upper piece 32 smoothly enters the foul ball discharge port 26 arranged along the lower end portion of the inner rail upper piece 32, and the lower dish 9 shown in FIG.
Is discharged to. Even if the foul ball B1 moves to the upper end side of the narrow guide path portion 21a, the tongue piece 27b of the intermediate ball return prevention member 27 prevents the foul ball B1 from entering the narrow portion. It will be discharged into the discharge port 26. Thus, in the present invention, the inner rail 2
By displacing a part (upper part) of 3 inwardly to provide the wide part, the possibility that the preceding foul ball and the subsequent launch ball which is in the process of ascending is greatly reduced, but Since the upper part is merely displaced to the game area side over a predetermined short range, there is less fear of narrowing the game area or damaging the layout of game parts as the inner rail is entirely displaced inward. Moreover, the upper half area of the game area 11 above the middle part is a dead space in which normal board parts and the like are not arranged, so the inner rail upper piece 32
There is no disadvantage in arranging.

Next, as a material for the inner rail upper piece 32, by using a cushioning material that absorbs and relaxes the impact when the foul ball falls, the foul ball that abuts the inner rail upper piece bounces and is subsequently fired. Falling along the upper piece of the inner rail without interfering with the ascending path of the ball, the foul ball outlet 2
6 may be configured to be able to fall inward. Note that the entire inner rail upper piece 32 does not necessarily have to be a buffer material, and only the portion in contact with the foul ball may be made of an interference material. The cushioning material may have a spring property and a cushioning property, for example, so long as it is a means for absorbing and relaxing the impact from the falling foul ball and preventing the foul ball from bouncing. For example, rubber, resin, or the like may be used, or a thin metal plate may be elastically deformable and supported in such a manner so as to absorb and relax the impact when the foul ball falls. As described above, in the present invention, the inner rail 23 is provided with two upper and lower portions 31, 32.
The guide rail wide portion 21b is provided by disposing only the inner rail upper piece 32 so as to be displaced toward the inner side, and the foul ball discharge port 26 is further provided below the guide passage wide portion 21b. It is possible to reduce the range of interference between the foul ball and the newly launched game ball (the length of the guide path where interference may occur),
It is possible to solve problems such as the occurrence of further foul balls due to the fact that the rising energy of the subsequent launch balls is reduced by the foul balls, and the occurrence of a deviation in the timing of jumping into the game area. Therefore, it is possible to enhance the smoothness and fun of the game. The player also intended for a model such as a pachinko game machine belonging to the second class, where a slight deviation in the timing at which the launch ball jumps into the game area is an important factor that affects the probability of winning balls. Since the disadvantageous phenomenon that the launch ball does not jump into the game area at the timing is less likely to occur, it is possible to prevent the popularity of the model from decreasing.

[0014]

As described above, according to the present invention, in a pachinko game machine, a game ball that is launched from the game ball launching device and rises in the game ball guiding path formed between the inner and outer rails becomes a foul ball. The kinetic energy of the subsequent launch ball that is generated by colliding with the subsequent launch ball,
It is possible to solve problems such as a delay in the timing of jumping into the game area all at once, and improve the smoothness and fun of the game. That is, according to the first aspect of the present invention, only the upper half of the guide path is configured to be wide to prevent interference and collision between the foul ball and the subsequent launch ball, while a wide guide path portion is required to be minimum. By setting the length to the limit, the foul ball discharge port was provided at the lower end portion of the wide portion of the guide route, which does not interfere with the narrow portion of the guide route. For this reason, the area where the falling path of the foul ball and the ascending path of the subsequent launch ball coexist is limited to the upper side of the middle height position of the game board, and both game balls are in the guide path below that position. Will never interfere. Moreover, since the area where the movement paths of both game balls that move in opposite directions coexist is wide, the interference of both game balls is prevented as much as possible. Further, since the inner rail upper piece is arranged only in a part of the game area and the guide path wide portion is provided, there is no fear that the game area becomes excessively narrow and the degree of freedom in arranging components is disturbed.

Next, even if the upper half of the game ball guide path is configured as a wide part, a foul ball that starts falling while rising along the outer rail bounces on the upper piece of the inner rail and is subsequently fired. There is still the risk of interference with the ball. Therefore, in the invention of claim 2, at least a part of the upper piece of the inner rail is made of a cushioning material to suppress the bounce of the foul ball as much as possible to prevent the above-mentioned inconvenience. Therefore, the foul ball bounced by the upper piece of the inner rail can drop along the upper piece of the inner rail with almost no bounce and go straight to the foul ball discharge port. Next, when a game ball that has become a foul ball in the wide part of the guide path falls, there is still a risk that it will enter the narrow part of the guide path due to a cause such as bouncing on the inner rail. In this case,
You will not be able to avoid collisions with subsequent balls. According to the invention of claim 3, since the tongue piece of the intermediate sphere return preventing member is arranged to project in the upper opening of the narrow portion of the guide path, the foul ball is prevented from returning to the inside of the narrow portion of the guide path by the tongue piece. , Is directly guided to the foul ball outlet. Next, in claim 4, since the width of the wide portion of the guide path is configured to gradually increase toward the foul ball discharge port, the foul ball smoothly drops along the inner rail after falling on the inner rail. Not only is it possible to fall, but the possibility of interference with the subsequent firing ball is greatly reduced.
