Further, as described later, the rib 72 formed on the rear wall portion 60 pulls out the downstream lid member 12 to the downstream side, and when an opening state described later is selected, the rib 72 from the tank rail 9 of the downstream lid member 12 is moved. It also acts as a stopper to prevent dropping.
[0032]
At the upper end of the right side wall portion 62, a positioning convex portion 74 that can be engaged with a positioning concave portion 73 of the downstream side lid member 12 described later is formed, and the concave portion 73 and the convex portion 74 are engaged.

[0033]
At the downstream end of the bottom wall 63, two ball supply holes 79, 80 for causing the aligned pachinko balls to flow down to the ball dispensing device 15 are formed to be shifted in the left-right direction.
[0034]
An upstream lid member 11 and a downstream lid member 12 are assembled to the downstream alignment section 9b.
[0035]
As shown in FIGS. 7 to 9, the upstream lid member 11 includes a rectangular plate-shaped lid body 81 that is long in the left-right direction, a guide plate 82 that extends from a downstream end of the lid body 81, The positioning mechanism 83 includes a positioning mechanism 83 extending downward from the upstream side of the lower surface of the lid main body 81 and a positioning fixing plate 84 extending upward from the rear side of the upper surface of the lid main body 81.
[0036]
The width of the lid body 81 is substantially equal to the width of the passage of the downstream alignment portion 9b, and the width of the guide plate 82 is slightly smaller than the width of the lid body 81.
[0037]
The guide plate 82 extends from the upper surface of the lid body 81, and a step surface 85 is formed by the downstream end surface 81 a of the lid body 81 and the lower surface 82 a of the guide plate 82.
[0038]
A guide groove 86 is formed in the lower portion of the positioning mechanism 83 so as to fit into the central partition 64 of the tank rail 9 and to allow the upstream lid member 11 to slide along the central partition 64.
[0039]
The positioning fixing plate portion 84 has a screw insertion hole 87 and a positioning rib 88 formed on the outer surface. When assembling the tank rail 9 to the mechanism plate 1 with the upstream lid member 11 assembled to the tank rail 9, the screw insertion hole 87 is used for the screw insertion hole 67 of the tank rail 9 and the screw hole of the boss 58 of the mechanism plate 1. The rear wall portion 60 of the tank rail 9 is fixed to the mechanism plate 1 by passing a screw through the screw insertion hole 87 and the screw insertion hole 67 and screwing the screw into the screw hole 58a. The positioning rib 88 is accommodated in the positioning hole 68 of the rear wall 60 of the tank rail 9 when the upstream lid member 11 is assembled to the tank rail 9, and serves to position the upstream lid member 11 with respect to the tank rail 9. Demonstrate the positioning action to be performed.
[0040]
The work of assembling the upstream lid member 11 to the tank rail 9 is performed by fitting the guide groove 86 of the positioning mechanism 83 to the central partition 64 in the upstream alignment portion 9a of the tank rail 9 and maintaining the fitted state. The upper surface 64a of the partition 64 is slid and moved to the downstream side so that the positioning rib 88 spreads the rear wall 60 to be accommodated in the positioning hole 68. By such an assembling operation, the upstream side lid member 11 can be assembled to the tank rail 9.
[0041]
As shown in FIGS. 10 to 12, the downstream side lid member 12 has a convex portion 89 on the upper surface, and the convex portion 89 is formed on the upstream end portion and the rear side. The downstream end surface 89a of the convex portion 89 functions as a stopper for preventing the downstream lid member 12 from dropping off from the tank rail 9 when the downstream lid member 12 is pulled out to the downstream side and an opening state described later is selected. .
[0042]
The downstream-side lid member 12 has an operation lever 90 protruding to the downstream side at the center of the downstream-side end. The operation lever 90 is configured such that the downstream end portion is elastically deformed upward. On the lower surface of the operation lever 90, a positioning concave portion 73 that can be engaged with the positioning convex portion 74 of the tank rail 9 is formed, and by engaging the concave portion 73 and the convex portion 74, the downstream lid member 12 is formed. Is fixed, and the flow-down state described later is maintained. The upstream wall 91 forming the recess 73 has a lower surface 91a formed by a gentle slope, and is formed in a triangular shape in a front view. When the downstream lid member 12 is moved to the upstream side from the state in which the downstream lid member 12 is pulled out to the downstream side, the lower surface (inclined surface) 91 a of the lower surface (inclined surface) 91 a of the positioning protrusion of the tank rail 9 is based on elastic deformation of the operation lever 90. It rides on 74 and acts to smoothly guide the concave portion 73 to a position where it engages with the convex portion 74.
[0043]
Two triangular ball stopper ribs 75 and 76 are formed on the lower surface of the downstream lid member 12 so as to sandwich the operation lever 90 therebetween. The two ball stopping ribs 75 and 76 are formed corresponding to the front rectifying passage 8A and the rear rectifying passage 8B of the tank rail 9, respectively. The pachinko ball is received from the downstream side, and serves to prevent the supply of the pachinko ball to the ball discharging device 15.
[0044]
The work of assembling the downstream lid member 12 to the tank rail 9 is performed by setting the downstream lid member 12 on the upper surface 64a of the central partition 64 of the downstream aligning portion 9b and sliding the upper surface 64a of the central partition 64. The downstream lid member 12 is moved to the downstream side so that the downstream wall portion 92 forming the concave portion 73 comes into contact with the convex portion 74 of the downstream alignment portion 9b. At this time, the downstream end of the downstream lid member 12 is sandwiched between the three ribs 70, 71, 72 and the upper surface 64 a of the central partition 64. Thereafter, the operation lever 90 is lifted up with a finger and slightly pulled to the downstream side while being elastically deformed so as to warp the operation lever 90 upward, so that the wall portion 92 gets over the convex portion 74. Then, when the wall portion 92 climbs over the convex portion 74, the operator releases the finger from the operation lever 90 to elastically return the operation lever 90 and engage the concave portion 73 with the convex portion 74. By such an assembling operation, the downstream side lid member 12 can be assembled to the tank rail 9.
[0045]
When the pachinko gaming machine is in a normal gaming state, the downstream lid member 12 is in a state shown in FIGS. 13 and 14 with respect to the tank rail 9 and the upstream lid member 11. That is, the downstream lid member 12 is in a state in which the upward opening 10 is closed, the concave portion 73 of the downstream lid member 12 is engaged with the convex portion 74 of the tank rail 9, and the downstream lid member 12 is 9 and is kept immovable. Further, the ball stopper ribs 75 and 76 of the downstream side lid member 12 are located on the downstream side, so that the pachinko balls in the straightening passage 8 can flow down to the ball discharging device 15 on the downstream side. In other words, the downstream-side lid member 12 has created a flow-down state that allows the pachinko balls to flow from the rectification passage 8 to the downstream side.
[0046]
Next, the operating lever 90 of the downstream side lid member 12 is lifted with a finger from the above-mentioned flow-down state, and slightly pressed to the upstream side while being elastically deformed so as to warp the operating lever 90 upward. Try to get over it. Then, when the wall portion 92 gets over the convex portion 74, the operation lever 90 is elastically returned by releasing the finger from the operation lever 90. When the operation lever 90 is elastically restored, the downstream lid member 12 is in a state shown in FIGS. 15 and 16 with respect to the tank rail 9 and the upstream lid member 11. That is, the upstream end surface 12a of the downstream lid member 12 is substantially in contact with the downstream end surface 81a of the lid main body portion 81 of the upstream lid member 11, and the movement of the downstream lid member 12 to the upstream side is restricted. In addition, the downstream end surface 92a of the wall portion 92 of the downstream lid member 12 is almost in contact with the upstream end surface 74a of the convex portion 74 of the tank rail 9, and the downstream end surface 92a of the downstream lid member 12 is located on the downstream side. Movement is regulated. When the operation lever 90 is elastically restored, the ball stopping ribs 75 and 76 receive the first pachinko ball in the flow straightening passage 8 from the downstream side, and the pachinko ball in the flow straightening passage 8 is moved downstream. Cannot flow down to the ball dispensing device 15. In other words, the downstream-side lid member 12 is in a ball-stopping state in which the pachinko balls do not flow down from the straightening passage 8 to the downstream side.
[0047]
Thereafter, when returning from the ball stopping state to the falling state, the operation lever 90 is lifted up by a finger and slightly pulled to the downstream side while being elastically deformed so as to warp the operation lever 90 upward, so that the wall portion 92 climbs over the convex portion 74. I do. Then, when the wall portion 92 gets over the convex portion 74, the operation lever 90 is elastically returned by releasing the finger from the operation lever 90. When the operation lever 90 is elastically restored, the concave portion 73 is engaged with the convex portion 74, and the downstream lid member 12 is in a falling state.
[0048]
On the other hand, the operating lever 90 of the downstream side lid member 12 is lifted upward with a finger from the above-mentioned flow-down state, and slightly pulled to the downstream side while being elastically deformed so as to warp the operating lever 90 upward. The projection 74 is overcome. After the wall portion 91 has climbed over the convex portion 74, the operating lever 90 is elastically returned, and then the operating lever 90 is moved so that the convex portion 89 of the downstream lid member 12 comes into contact with the rib 72 of the tank rail 9. Pull downstream until In a state where the projection 89 is in contact with the rib 72, the downstream lid member 12 is in a state shown in FIG. 17 with respect to the tank rail 9 and the upstream lid member 11. That is, the downstream side lid member 12 is in an open state in which the upward opening 10 of the straightening passage 8 is opened.
[0049]
Thereafter, when returning from the open state to the flow-down state, the operation lever 90 is pushed to the upstream side with a finger, and the lower surface (inclined surface) 91 a of the upstream wall portion 91 of the downstream lid member 12 is raised by the convex portion 74 of the tank rail 9. After the ride, the concave portion 73 engages with the convex portion 74.
[0050]
As described above, the pachinko gaming machine according to the present embodiment is a pachinko gaming machine provided with the rectifying passage 8 for rectifying the pachinko ball supplied from the island facility and flowing down to the ball discharging device 15 on the downstream side. A lid member (downstream lid member 12) is provided in the upward opening 10 of the 8, and by operating the lid member 12, the pachinko ball flows down from the straightening passage 8 to the downstream side with the upward opening 10 closed. Select one of an allowable flow-down state, an open state in which the upward opening 10 is opened, and a ball-stop state in which the pachinko ball is prevented from flowing down from the rectification passage 8 to the downstream side while the upward opening 10 is closed. It is configured to be able to.
[0051]
When the downflow state is selected, the pachinko balls can flow down from the rectifying passage 8 to the downstream side, and the pachinko gaming machine enters a normal gaming state. At this time, since the upward opening 10 of the rectification passage 8 is kept closed by the lid member 12, it is possible to prevent dust floating in the air from entering the rectification passage 8.
[0052]
Further, when the open state is selected, the upward opening 10 of the rectifying passage 8 is in the open state, so that foreign matter that has been mixed into the pachinko ball from the island facility and flowed in through the opening 10 can be removed. Can be easily removed.
[0053]
In addition, since the ball stopping state can be selected by the lid member 12, the conventional ball stopping member as a separate member can be eliminated, and the number of parts, cost, and the like can be reduced.
[0054]
Further, in the pachinko gaming machine according to the present embodiment, the lid member 12 is movable in the longitudinal direction of the rectifying passage 8, and each state is selected according to the moving position of the lid member 12. For this reason, it is possible to select any of the flowing state, the open state, and the ball stopping state by a simple operation of moving the lid member 12 in the longitudinal direction.
[0055]
