Description

  The present invention relates to a pachinko gaming machine, and more particularly to a blade mechanism used for an accessory.

  As is well known, in pachinko games, when a pachinko ball wins in various winning holes provided in the game area of the gaming board surface provided in the gaming machine, a predetermined number of prize balls set in the winning hole. Is to be paid out.

  One type of pachinko gaming machine that has been known so far is a second type of pachinko gaming machine called an airplane type equipped with an openable and closable blade.

  In the second type of pachinko gaming machine, when a pachinko ball wins in the start winning opening, a pair of blade members provided in a central actor provided in the game area perform a predetermined number of opening and closing operations, When a pachinko ball wins a special winning opening provided, the blade member is repeatedly opened and closed up to a preset maximum number of times (for example, Patent Document 1). In addition, there is also a first-class pachinko machine as a pachinko machine, and in this pachinko machine, the display on the variable display section attached to the central actor starts to change when the pachinko ball wins the start winning opening. If the result at the time of variable stop matches the preset result, it becomes a special gaming state corresponding to the big hit state, and the big winning opening is opened or closed until a predetermined number of times or a predetermined number of pachinko ball winnings, whichever comes first To receive the prize ball. (For example, patent document 2).

By the way, in a pachinko gaming machine as disclosed in Patent Document 1, as a configuration of a blade member provided in a central accessory, a solenoid or the like is supported with a cantilever shape and has one end as a base end. An electric accessory that swings when driven is used, and normally swings from a state where the inlet of the pachinko ball is closed to a state where the inlet can be opened.

  By the way, the blade member in which the electric accessory or the like is used has an opening width, that is, a width of a region in which the pachinko ball can enter, being defined by the installation location. For example, in the case of a blade member provided on both shoulders and both sides of a central actor where an opportunity to obtain a lot of prize balls can be expected, and even for a big prize opening, the introduction width is 55 mm. ing. Since this introduction width is a dimension that allows a pachinko ball to enter purely, for example, when an obstacle nail or a cover member is arranged above or in the vicinity of the introduction opening or winning opening, exclude the area occupied by these. It is necessary to set an introduction width of 55 mm.

  For this reason, when the case where the obstacle nail or the covering member exists above or near is targeted, the length of the blade member provided in the central accessory includes the length of the covering member. The length is 55 mm and the turning radius is also increased.

  However, in recent years, the size of the display section tends to increase in accordance with the variety of display contents. For this reason, it is provided in the pachinko ball introduction port and game board provided in the central actor located near the display section. The space between the rail member and the gate member disposed in the vicinity of the display portion tends to decrease.

  From such a current situation, for example, if the predetermined introduction width is set by securing the swing amount of the cantilevered blade member provided at the introduction port of the central accessory, it is arranged in the vicinity of the blade member. It may be difficult to secure a space for installing the introduction nail and the obstacle nail.

  Therefore, at the expense of the number of introduction nails and obstacle nails, the swing range of the blades must be positioned to match the introduction width of the pachinko ball, and as a result, the uniqueness of the game created by the presence of the introduction nails and obstacle nails The nature will be impaired.

  The object of the present invention is to provide a fun game without sacrificing the number of nails to be provided in the peripheral part of the blade in view of the problem in the case where a blade mechanism is provided in the introduction port of the conventional pachinko gaming machine and the pachinko ball. It is an object of the present invention to provide a pachinko gaming machine equipped with a blade mechanism that can ensure a specified introduction width without impairing the performance.

  In the present invention, a pair of openable and closable blade members provided at the introduction port of the pachinko ball is provided in a state straddling the introduction port, and a region in which the divided blade members project outward from the introduction port is reduced. It is characterized by that.

In particular, the invention described in claim 1 is a pachinko gaming machine provided with a swingable blade member provided in the vicinity of the inlet of the pachinko ball, wherein the blade member has a length that bisects in the end direction of the inlet. The first and second blade members are rotatably supported, and the second blade member is slidably supported in the width direction of the inlet,
The first and second blade members are normally held at predetermined positions that prevent introduction of pachinko balls into the introduction port. From this state, the first blade member rotates, The second blade member is sequentially spaced from the first blade member to open the introduction port.

  According to a second aspect of the present invention, in the pachinko gaming machine according to the first aspect, the first wing member among the wing members swings outwardly from the introduction port and moves away from the predetermined position. It is characterized by doing.

  According to a third aspect of the present invention, in the pachinko gaming machine according to the second aspect, the first and second blade members are juxtaposed in the flow-down direction of the pachinko ball, and normally the position where the inlet is closed is the initial position. The first blade member is disposed on the lower side in the flow direction, the second blade member is disposed on the upper side in the flow direction, and the first blade member is located at the inlet of the inlet with respect to a predetermined position. A state in which the pachinko ball can be introduced is set by swinging in a direction away from the outside and sliding in a direction in which the second blade member opens the introduction port with respect to the predetermined position. It is characterized by that.

  According to a fourth aspect of the present invention, in the pachinko gaming machine according to one of the first to third aspects, the first and second blade members have a configuration that can be interlocked or individually driven. It is characterized by.

  According to the first and second aspects of the present invention, the first and second blade members are provided so as to be divided into two in the width direction of the introduction port of the pachinko ball, and the first blade member projects outward from the introduction port. Unlike the case where the first blade member is rotated, the rotation radius can be reduced. Thereby, the range which could not install a nail, a covering member, etc. can be decreased.

  Moreover, the introduction width of the pachinko sphere at the introduction port is set to a specified dimension by sliding the second blade member in a direction away from the first blade member in accordance with the rotation of the first blade member. be able to. In particular, since the first blade member and the second blade member have different motion forms, it is possible to prevent troubles such as pinching of pachinko balls, for example, when only sliding is used.

  According to the third aspect of the present invention, the first blade member that pivots and swings in the direction protruding to the outside of the introduction port is disposed on the lower side in the flow-down direction of the pachinko ball, thereby flowing down. Being able to accept pachinko balls makes it possible to increase the expectation of winning.

First and second blade members 102 and 103 are provided in the vicinity of an inlet (not shown) for a pachinko sphere provided in FIG.

  FIG. 2 is a schematic diagram showing the configuration of the blade member. In the drawing, the first and second blade members 102 and 103 divide the introduction port into two parts by the width (indicated by symbol L in FIG. 2). The first blade member 102 is provided as a pair, and a support shaft 102A disposed on one end side in the width direction of the introduction port is a swing fulcrum.

  The direction in which the second blade member 103 traverses the introduction port, that is, the direction in which the second blade member 103 can come into contact with or separate from the swinging end of the first blade member in a state of preventing the winning of the pachinko ball to the introduction port. Are slidably provided.

  The first and second blade members 102 and 103 can be configured to be linked or individually driven.

  Now, the case of individual driving will be described. In the first blade member 102, the support shaft 102 </ b> A is driven by a rotary solenoid (not shown), and prevents the pachinko ball from winning a prize at the inlet. The position is set to a predetermined position, and can be rotated with respect to this predetermined position in a direction protruding toward the outside of the introduction port by excitation driving of a rotary solenoid.

  The second blade member 103 is provided with an elastic member 104 such as a spring disposed between the end portion opposite to the tip facing the first blade member 102 and the game board 3 side. The movement habit of opening the inlet is given.

  The second blade member 103 is provided with a drive member 105 for moving the pachinko ball to the position that prevents the elastic member 104 from being biased against the urging force of the elastic member 104. Is constituted by a solenoid, and the plunger of the solenoid is pressed against the end of the second blade member 103 and is moved to a predetermined position where the second blade member 103 prevents the pachinko ball from winning the inlet. Is retained.

  When the second blade member 103 slides in a direction away from the first blade member 102, the solenoid that is the drive member 104 is excited. Accordingly, when the plunger is pulled toward the solenoid side, the second blade member 103 slides in a direction away from the first blade member 102, and a pachinko ball can be won at the inlet.

  Although not shown in the figure, the first and second blade members 102 and 103 are interlocked with each other, and a member having a rocking radius such as a link member is integrated with the support shaft 102A of the first blade member 102, and the rocking motion thereof. One end of the wire is coupled to the end, and the other end of the wire that bypasses the pulley provided on the game board 3 side is coupled to the second blade member 103 side. It is assumed that the elastic member 104 provided on the second blade member 103 is provided as it is.

  In such a configuration, when the wire is pulled in accordance with the rotation of the first blade member 102, the second blade member 103 can be pulled away from the first blade member 102. .

  The first blade member 102 is positioned at a predetermined position to prevent the pachinko ball from being introduced into the introduction port, as shown by a solid line in FIG. 2, due to the initial position of the rotary solenoid, and by driving the rotary solenoid, It protrudes toward the outside of the inlet and swings in a so-called protruding direction.

The second blade member 103 slides in a direction away from the first blade member 102 as shown by a two-dot chain line with respect to a predetermined position shown by a solid line in FIG. A position that allows winning is set,
The timing of displacement of the first and second blade members 102 and 103 from a predetermined position is, for example, not only when the pachinko ball wins the start winning opening 6b but also to the normal winning opening as well as the start winning opening. When the number of winnings reaches a specified value, a case where the player is likely to get bored is selected when the state where the winning rate at the start winning port is kept low is selected.

  Since the present embodiment is configured as described above, the first and second blade members 102 and 103 have the drive member for the first and second blade members 102 and 103 or one of the drive members in the initial state. In some cases, the pachinko ball is kept in a state that prevents the pachinko ball from winning the entrance.

  On the other hand, when the driving member for the first and second blade members 102, 103 or one of the driving members is driven from the initial position, the first blade member 102 rotates around the support shaft 102A, The second blade member 103 slides in a direction away from the first blade member 102 in accordance with this, and the first and second blade members 102 and 103 are separated from each other, so that the pachinko balls to the introduction port are separated. Will be allowed to win.

  The first and second blade members 102 and 103 divide the introduction port in the width direction, and particularly with respect to the first blade member 102 located on the side projecting toward the outside of the introduction port, FIG. As shown in (B), a range that protrudes toward the outside of the introduction port as compared to the turning radius of a conventional blade member (indicated by reference numeral 102 'for convenience) provided in a cantilever shape and swinging. (For convenience, it is indicated by symbols P and P ′). In addition, when the introduction port is opened by the rotation and sliding of the blade members, the introduction width of the pachinko sphere at the introduction port that is closed in a state divided by the blade member (reference numeral in FIG. 2). The area width indicated by S) can also be secured.

  Thereby, in the conventional blade member 102 ′ shown in FIG. 2B, the covering member, the guide nail and the obstacle nail K driving region (in the vicinity of the introduction port, which could not be arranged in the region P ′ of the turning radius) 2 (A) can be secured. For this reason, it is possible to prevent the interest of the game from being impaired by the presence of the covering member, the guide nail and the obstacle nail.

  On the other hand, of the first and second blade members 102 and 103, the first blade member 102 located on the lower side along the flow-down direction of the pachinko sphere rotates in a direction protruding toward the outside of the introduction port. Therefore, it is possible to easily accept the pachinko balls that flow down, and this also increases the degree of expectation for winning. And since it is not the structure which mutually slides, the pinching of the pachinko ball | bowl which may occur when it trains in the direction which mutually approaches can be prevented.

  In the above embodiment, the blade member 102 is required to bisect the width of the inlet, and the length is not mentioned. However, the turning radii are different from each other by making the lengths different from each other. For example, when the length of the second blade member 103 is longer than the length of the blade member 102 located on the lower side in the flow direction, the turning radius of the first blade member 102 is further increased. It is possible to reduce the size, and it is possible to expand the space for nails and covering members around the periphery.

  In the above embodiment, the blade member is provided in the central role, that is, the blade member provided in the flow-down direction of the pachinko ball, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the starting prize is given. It is also possible to target double-opening type blade members provided along the horizontal direction, such as a mouth and a prize winning opening. Further, in the first and second types of pachinko gaming machines, any of the blade members arranged along the flow-down direction of the pachinko balls can be targeted.
