With a variable door that changes into a posture that makes it impossible and a posture that makes it impossible, and a posture that makes it possible to accept a hitting ball by taking this variable door from the outside, and a posture that makes it impossible to accept this variable door after receiving the hitting ball This is related to a winning device that is restricted to this impossible posture until it is converted into an acceptable posture by the next external operation, and that arbitrary rotation is restricted.

  A so-called tulip-type winning device is known as one of variable-type winning devices. This tulip-type winning device opens the rotating pieces provided in the left and right sides in response to the hit of the hit ball, facilitating the hit of the hit ball, while the next hit ball hits it, Remove the tread that supports the moving piece in the open state and close the rotating piece opened to the left and right to make it difficult to win the hitting ball. By operating the opening and closing movement of the rotating piece by itself, the self-contained winning device It has become.

On the other hand, a variable winning device according to an interlocking type structure that opens or releases other winning devices due to the hitting of a hit ball at another specific winning opening and enables or reduces the winning conditions for the winning devices. Is known.
The present invention relates to a winning device according to this interlocking type.
By the way, among the variable prize-winning devices, there are many devices that use an electric drive means such as a solenoid as means for opening and closing a rotating piece or the like for changing a winning condition. However, the winning device proposed here is a winning device that operates opening / closing means such as a rotating piece using the weight of a winning ball as means for opening / closing the entrance.

Conventionally, as an apparatus that relaxes or wins the winning conditions for a winning device or a winning opening by using the weight of a winning ball won in one winning device or a winning opening to open another winning device or a winning opening. For example, a winning device for a pachinko gaming machine as described in Patent Document 1 is known.
Japanese Patent Publication No. 57-15919.

  The winning device described in Patent Document 1 includes a ball receiving port 4 serving as a first winning port at the center of the mounting substrate 1 and a cylindrical frame 3a (3b) serving as a second winning port on the side thereof. The first (, second) variable winning opening 12a (, 12b) containing the rotating body 13a (, 13b) is disposed, and the operating lever is provided between the first winning opening 4 and the second winning opening 12a. 30a (30b) is freely passed and the movable piece 36a (36b) is disposed between the operating lever 30a and the swinging end outside the operating lever 30a. When a winning ball is won in the winning opening 4 and the inner end of the operating lever 30a is pushed down by the ball, the movable piece 36a is swung by the outer end that rises along with this, and this swinging causes the moving piece 36a to swing. Entering a prize ball into the second prize opening 12a by releasing the restraint of the rotating body 13a Those that made it possible to.

When the ball is received by the ball receiving piece 15a of the rotating body 13a, the winning ball apparatus rotates again the rotating body 13a by the weight of the winning ball and returns to the original shape. It will be released backwards and prepared for the next prize.

  As described above, the winning ball apparatus described in Patent Document 1 relates to a structure in which the second winning port (the ball receiving port 12a) is opened by using the ball that has won the first winning port (the ball receiving port 4). However, the second winning opening 12a has an extremely complicated structure including a rotating body 13a that rotates around the protruding shaft 9a in the cylindrical frame 3a. Furthermore, even if the complexity of the structure is placed, in this apparatus, when the lid piece 14a is in the closed state, how the lid piece 14a is blocked, and when it is in the open state, the winning ball is received by the ball receiving piece. Although it is supposed to be received by 15a, it is not clear how to perform the guidance process after receiving the ball receiving piece 15a. In other words, it is not clear because it is not explained according to the structure, but it is not clear how the flying port that is opened and closed by the rotation of the rotating body 13a catches the ball is confirmed by the player's vision This means that it is difficult for the player to enjoy the progress of the winnings produced by the second winning opening while setting the second winning opening linked to the first winning opening. It is impossible.

  The present invention has been developed in view of the above-described circumstances and has been developed to improve the situation. The purpose of the present invention is to open the second prize opening using a winning ball that wins the first prize opening. In the winning device that is linked to the movement of the door, the second winning opening, that is, the door that opens and closes the entrance of the hitting ball is accurately controlled, and at the same time, the movement of the door is controlled. It is an object of the present invention to provide an improved winning device that allows a player to clearly see the winning moment so that the player can enjoy the winning moment.

  In addition, in view of the structural complexity of the prior art, the present invention simplifies the movement with a simpler structure, thereby making it possible to clarify the moment of entry of the winning ball and make an impression. Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a winning device that can realize accurate catching and give the player a sense of security and eventually a sense of trust.

  Furthermore, the present invention makes it possible to perform a variety of winning opportunities by simultaneously performing a plurality of second winning opening opening operations using a winning ball that jumps into the first winning opening. It is intended to provide a prize-winning device that can enhance the game.

  In order to achieve the above-described object, the present invention provides a winning ball that is inserted into the first entrance by inserting an interlocking rod between the first entrance and the second entrance that are set individually. The interlocking rod is actuated by actuating, and the interlocking rod actuates to actuate a locking member that restrains the movable piece provided in the second entrance to release the restrained state, and the variable door is changed from the closed state to the open state. This means that the ball is allowed to enter and win the second entrance.

In the present invention, the variable door is supported so as to swing back and forth with the support shaft as a fulcrum, and when it is closed, the entrance of the hitting ball is closed vertically, and when it is opened, the support shaft is turned forward with the support shaft as a fulcrum. The front end of the variable door protrudes forward from the entrance and allows the ball to be captured. It is to have done.
Furthermore, the present invention ensures the locking relationship between the variable door and the locking member operated by the interlocking rod, avoids the malfunction of the variable door, and ensures the restraint when the variable door is opened. This is because the operation reliability has been improved.

  Further, the present invention will be described in detail. The feature is that a horizontal opening is formed in the mounting board, and is supported in a freely rotating manner via a support shaft, and the front end protrudes forward through the inlet. And a front door that jumps up and retracts to the inside of the air inlet to convert it into a standing posture and opens and closes the air inlet, and an engaging piece provided on a side edge of the variable door. A locking member that restrains the standing posture; and an interlocking rod that releases the restraint of the variable door of the locking member and guides the conversion to the horizontal posture. A swinging arm that is supported and extended freely on a fulcrum is fixed to the interlocking rod using its own weight, and a locking piece provided integrally with the locking member when the swinging arm is in the lowered position. While the variable door is locked to the engagement piece of the variable door and restrains the variable door in a standing posture, the swinging arm is raised by raising the interlocking rod. And to provide a winning device of the pachinko game machine configured to allow conversion of the variable door in a horizontal posture by solving the constraints of the locking pieces when raised Jump.

  According to the present invention, when the variable door has an engagement piece provided on a side edge thereof standing upright with respect to the upper surface of the variable door and its front edge is formed as a vertical edge, the variable door is in a standing posture. The locking piece of the locking member is locked to the vertical edge to restrain the rotation of the variable door. On the other hand, when the variable door is in a horizontal posture, the locking piece is attached to the outer surface of the engagement piece. And the non-locking state is maintained in contact with the movable door, and when the variable door is rotated to a standing posture and the contact state is released along with the movement of the engagement piece, the locking piece is engaged. It is an object of the present invention to provide a winning device for a pachinko gaming machine that is engaged with a front edge portion of a piece.

  Further, according to the present invention, the variable door is housed in a receiving frame attached to the back surface of the mounting substrate, is supported so as to be freely rotatable inside the receiving frame, and is variable when the rotation is converted from a horizontal posture to a standing posture. An object of the present invention is to provide a winning device for a pachinko gaming machine in which a winning ball received on the upper surface of a door is guided and discharged to a ball discharge port provided in the receiving frame.

  In the present invention, the variable door is urged so that the variable door always falls forward by placing the center of gravity on the front end side from the bearing position by the support shaft, and the restraint by the locking piece of the locking member is released. It is another object of the present invention to provide a winning device for a pachinko gaming machine which is automatically converted into a horizontal posture by falling forward. Still another object of the present invention is to provide a winning device in which a weight is embedded in setting the center of gravity of the variable door.

  In the present invention, the ball receiving projection received by the variable door is received and held at the rear end of the variable door by standing a protruding piece for receiving the winning ball received in the horizontal posture. It is an object of the present invention to provide a winning device for a pachinko gaming machine that moves to the rear end portion and simultaneously releases the winning ball from the protruding piece when converted into a standing posture by the weight of the winning ball.

  Further, the present invention provides a horizontal posture in which a pair of air inlets opened on the left and right sides with a required interval on the mounting substrate and a pivotal support supported via a support shaft, each projecting forward through the air inlet. Engaging with a variable door that opens and closes each of the entrances by jumping up the front end and pulling it inward of each of the entrances, and an engagement piece provided on the side edge of the variable door Each of the locking members includes: a locking member that restrains the variable door in the standing posture; and an interlocking rod that releases the restraint of the variable door of the locking member and induces conversion to the horizontal posture. The swing arm that is supported by the support shaft so as to swing freely and extends is lowered by its own weight and is fixed to the interlocking rod, and the locking piece provided integrally when the swing arm is in the lowered position The variable door is engaged with an engagement piece to restrain the variable door in a standing posture, and The winning device is configured to convert the variable door into a horizontal posture by releasing the restraint of the locking piece when the swinging arm is lifted up by the eaves. Each of the variable doors is provided with the engaging pieces standing on one side edge portion on the opposite side, and the locking members are arranged in the middle of the left and right variable doors. Provided is a winning device for a pachinko gaming machine that faces the engaging piece of the variable door and is fixed to the interlocking cage that faces the swinging arms of the respective locking members facing each other. There is.

  Further, according to the present invention, the respective locking members for restraining the left and right variable doors are fixed to the swinging arms in a state where they intersect with the interlocking rods, and the rising of the interlocking rods restrains the left and right variable doors. It is an object of the present invention to provide a winning device for a pachinko gaming machine characterized in that the state is released simultaneously.

  By the way, in the winning device according to the present invention, an opening / closing state of the entrance is clarified by causing a variable door supported to freely rotate via a support shaft to and from the entrance to be opened on the mounting board. And when opening, that is, when the variable door takes a horizontal posture and can catch a ball, the front end protrudes in front of the flight entrance to catch the falling ball reliably and win this. On the other hand, by catching the winning ball, the variable door is converted into a standing posture by the weight of the ball, and the opening and closing thereof is clarified through the operation of closing the entrance.

  Then, the variable door is converted to a standing posture, thereby locking the locking piece of the locking member to the front edge of the engaging piece, and falling forward, that is, conversion to a horizontal posture is constrained, The blocked state is to be maintained.

  The locking member is supported so as to freely swing around the support shaft, and the locking piece provided integrally with the locking member is pushed toward the engagement piece of the variable door by the weight of the swinging arm that is always extended. Therefore, when the variable door is in a horizontal posture, it is brought into contact with the side surface of the engagement piece. And when it changes to a standing posture, it comes off from this side surface and reaches the front edge portion of the engagement piece, thereby locking to the front edge portion as described above, and restraining the fall of the variable door to the horizontal posture. It is.

The interlocking rod that is actuated by the winning ball that has won the first winning opening is supported freely swinging around a supporting shaft that supports the middle of its length, and one end of the swinging is exposed to the locking member. Not put in a linked relationship.
The relationship between the two is executed by sliding one end of the interlocking rod and the swinging arm of the locking member together. For this sliding, a pin is prepared at one end of the interlocking rod, and the swinging arm is connected so as to span the pin, and is always held on the pin by its own weight.

The winning device of the present invention configured as described above is such that, when there is no winning of a hit ball at the first winning opening, the end of the interlocking rod is in the ascending position, so that the locking member that slides on the pin is rocked. The moving arm descends, and the locking piece provided on the locking member is urged in the upward direction with the support shaft as a fulcrum.
For this reason, when the variable door is in a horizontal posture, the locking piece comes into contact with the side surface of the engaging portion, and the rising of the locking piece is suppressed. In this state, when a hit ball enters the second entrance (winning port), the variable door rotates around the support shaft and converts into a standing posture, the engagement piece is lowered along with this rotation, When the front edge reaches the position of the locking piece, the locking piece that is restrained from rising protrudes toward the variable door and engages with the front edge to restrain the rotation of the variable door in the horizontal posture direction. It will be.

The variable door is firmly engaged with the locking piece that engages the front edge of the engaging piece by placing the center of gravity on the front end side and biasing it so that it always falls forward. Inadvertent conversion to a horizontal posture is avoided.
In this state, next, when a winning ball jumps into the first winning opening, the interlocking rod is actuated, and the end portion at the lowered position is raised, the swinging of the locking member is performed accordingly. Since the arm rises, the locking piece swings in the downward direction and moves in a direction retreating from the engagement piece, the engagement with the front edge is released and the constraint is released, The variable door that is constantly biased so as to fall forward is converted into a horizontal posture at the same time as the release of the restraint, so that the hit ball can be received at the second entrance.

  When a hit ball enters the second entrance opened in this way and is received by the variable door, the ball rolls on the upper surface of the door and moves to the rear end, and the rear end is determined by the weight of the front end. Since the weight is made heavy, the front end is lifted and converted into a standing posture, and the ball on the upper surface is released. At the same time, the locking piece retracted to the side of the engaging piece receives the bias of the swinging arm. Therefore, it automatically engages with the front edge of the engaging piece, and the variable door is again restrained in the standing posture, and the second entrance is closed.

It should be noted that the interlocking rod that lifts the end by the winning ball that jumps into the first winning opening and pushes up the swing arm of the locking member raises the end by placing the center of gravity on this end. After that, it immediately descends and prepares for the next winning ball.
Then, the swinging arm of the locking member pushed up by the interlocking rod comes into contact with the side surface of the engagement piece until the variable door receives the winning ball and changes from the horizontal posture to the standing posture. Since the rocking is stopped, it is kept in a jumped state. Then, as described above, when the variable door is converted to the standing posture, the locking piece is simultaneously engaged with the engaging piece and returned to the restrained state.

On the other hand, the present invention can control the opening and closing of the variable door that opens and closes a plurality of inlets arranged in parallel through the operation of one interlocking rod.
As described above, the variable doors can be freely opened and closed via the support shafts at the right and left adjacent entrances serving as the second entrances, and the engaging pieces provided on the respective variable doors are opposed to each other at the side edges. Are installed between the left and right variable doors so that their respective swinging arms face each other, and are attached to the end of the one interlocking rod. By operating the locking member that restrains the two left and right variable doors by one interlocking rod, the restrained state is released, and the two variable doors can be simultaneously converted to an open state. .

  In this case, since the two locking members operated by one interlocking rod are independent, they are individually operated following each variable door. That is, for example, when both variable doors are converted to a horizontal posture and the entrance is opened, and in this state, when one variable door is converted to a standing posture by entering a winning ball, the other variable door is The horizontal posture will be maintained until the winning ball enters. That is, it operates independently without being influenced by the operation of the other variable door and operates the second entrance.

According to the present invention configured as described above, the locking member operated by the interlocking rod securely catches the engaging piece of the variable door, and the variable door stands up and closes the entrance. It will be hooked on the joint piece to prevent it from falling forward, that is, converting to a horizontal posture, and when instructing to release by the interlocking rod, the locking piece is removed from the engaging piece by raising the swinging arm and variable. Allow the door to fall and open the entrance to accept the hit ball.
And, at this time, the locking member that allowed the falling of the variable door, when the variable door stands up and closes the entrance, because the locking piece comes into contact with the side surface of the engaging piece to prepare for the next engagement, This variable door can be surely restrained.

  And in this restraining operation of the locking member, the variable door is in two forms of taking a horizontal posture in which the front end protrudes in front of the flying port and taking a posture of standing vertically and closing the flying port. It changes, and the opening and closing of the entrance is clarified. Moreover, since this opening and closing operation is performed by entering a hit ball, a strong impression can be given to the player.

On the other hand, the prize winning device of the present invention is provided with parallel entrances prepared as the second prize opening, and the variable doors provided for each can be operated by one interlocking rod, so that the interlocking relationship is 1: 1. It is also possible to have a one-to-two basis, and a winning device with changes can be provided.

Then, after the same sort is performed again, it finally rolls and falls from any valley of the sort table 63 beyond the front edge 16a.

The sorting table 63 located on the front side of the second stage plate 16 has two peaks and three valleys, and these three valleys face the specific winning port 28 and the normal winning ports 29 and 29.
That is, when the box frame 9 is fixed to the back side of the mounting plate 7, the three valleys of the sorting table 63 face above the hole 66 formed by aligning three below the opening 8 of the mounting plate 7. is there.
On the other hand, the front frame 10 fixed to the front surface side of the mounting plate 7 is connected to the hole 66 so that the specific winning port 28 and the left and right normal winning ports 29, 29 provided on the front decorative frame 10 communicate with the hole 66. When the front decoration frame 10 is attached to the mounting plate 7, the three valleys of the distribution table 63 automatically face each other and communicate with each other toward the specific winning port 28 and the normal winning ports 29 and 29. .

With the above configuration, the winning balls P that have fallen from the stage plate 15 to the second stage plate 16 are distributed by passing through the front and rear distribution tables 64 and 63 one after another, and are placed in any valley of the lower distribution table 63. The entered winning ball P will win a specific winning opening 28 or a normal winning opening 29 opened in front of it.
The winning balls that are won in the specific winning opening 28 and the normal winning opening 29 are detected by switches 67 and 68 installed in the respective openings, and are further provided in a bowl shape provided continuously to the hole 66 at the lower end of the mounting plate 7. Guided to guideways 69 and 70. Among these, the winning ball that is received by the normal winning opening 29 and passed through the guide path 70 is released to the outside of the winning apparatus as it is, and the ball that has won the specific winning opening 28 passes through the guiding path 69 and the box frame body. 9 will be guided to a later-described interlocking mechanism 71 provided behind 9, and the lock mechanism 72 installed at the small flight entrance 11 provided at both wing pieces 7 a and 7 a of the mounting plate 7 will be operated.

Next, in the above configuration, a winning ball P jumps into the winning device 3 installed in the gaming unit 4 of the game board 1, and the winning ball P reaches the specific winning port 28 or the normal winning port 29. The process up to this point will be described together with the operation of each part. First, the ball P launched into the game unit 4 reaches the entrance 27 of the front decorative frame 10 protruding to the front surface of the game board 1, so that the inside of the box frame 9, That is, it jumps into the room 26 which becomes the first winning room.
At this time, the passing of the winning ball P is detected by a switch 27a installed at the entrance 27, a detection signal is sent to a main control device (not shown), and the winning ball is paid out to the player from a winning ball payout device (not shown). It will be.

A winning ball P (hereinafter simply referred to as “sphere P”) that has entered the winning room 26 falls to the upper surface of the stage plate 15 near the front edge 15a, and when the stage plate 15 is in a stationary state, It stays as it is, or rolls on the upper surface according to the inclination.
At this time, the ball P is guided to the guide recesses 33a and 33a and rolls toward the bottom of the groove, and when the stage plate 15 is tilted backward, the ball P is guided to flow to the guide recess 33b at the rear. Then, it rolls toward the rear edge 15b.

The rolling of the ball P at this time is affected by the depth of the grooves of the guide recesses 33a and 33b and rolls toward the bottom, but the trailing edge before reaching the bottom of the recess due to the inclination of the stage plate 15 It may roll linearly toward the part 15b, and various rolls will be developed.
This change in rolling is to distribute the balls P and is guided from the unspecified position of the trailing edge 15b to the second stage 16 to be prepared next.

  While the stage plate 15 rolls the sphere P in a stationary state, the inclination of the sphere P is changed by swinging by the drive mechanism 36, thereby changing the rolling speed of the sphere P, and further, the vertical movement of the sorting member 17 in this swinging motion. More complicated changes are given by adding.

15 to 17 illustrate the interlocking relationship between the stage plate 15, the drive mechanism 36 that swings the stage plate 15, and the sorting member 17, and the movement of the winning ball P.
15A and 15B, the projection 43a of the cam plate 43 of the drive mechanism 36 is positioned downward and pushes down the sliding base 46, and the swinging arm 47 is flipped up with the shaft 44 as a fulcrum. In the case where the stage plate 15 is slightly lowered from the front, the ball P on the stage plate 15 slightly rolls toward the front edge 15a and flows to the bottom of the guide recesses 33a and 33b and stops there.

In this state, since the projecting portion of the cam plate 56 faces downward in the distribution member 17, the partition projecting portions 17a and 17a are brought close to the rear edge portion 15b of the stage plate 15 so that the drop route of the sphere P is reached. Is divided into three.
The winning ball P on the stage plate 15 does not flow toward the rear edge 15b in this state by flowing to the bottom of the recesses 33a and 33b.

In FIGS. 16A and 16B, the cam plate 43 is rotated by driving the motor 37 of the drive mechanism 36, and the protrusion 43a is directed upward to raise the sliding base 46 of the swing plate 45. The case where the stage board 15 strengthened the back leaning posture along with it is shown.
At this time, the sphere P falling on the stage plate 15 rolls toward the rear edge 15b while being guided through the guide recesses 33a and 33b, and falls onto the second stage 16.
At this time, the sorting member 17 is in a lowered posture because the projection of the cam plate 56 faces downward, and the projections 17a and 17a are brought close to the rear edge 15b of the stage plate 15 and divided into three routes. The state will be maintained.

Next, in FIGS. 17A and 17B, the slide base 46 of the swing plate 45 is raised with the protrusion 43a of the cam plate 43 facing upward, and the stage plate 15 is held in a rear-tilt state. A state is shown in which the projecting portion of the cam plate 56 faces upward, the arm 60 of the sliding member 59 is pushed up, and the sorting member 17 is raised.
As the sorting member 17 is raised, the projections 17a and 17a are lifted away from the rear edge 15b of the stage plate, and the divided state of the three routes is released, and the winning ball P simply falls according to the sorting by the stage plate 15. Become.

Here, the stage plate 15 connected to the swing plate 45 and the sorting member 17 are structured to be driven by one motor 37 via cam plates 43 and 56 provided in the drive mechanism 36. However, the cam plates 43 and 56 are rotated in different directions by changing the ratio of the gears 40, 42 and 55 interposed therebetween, whereby the swing of the stage plate 15 and the upper and lower sides of the sorting member 17 are changed. The movement is not synchronized, and the distribution change is further complicated.
It should be noted that this does not prevent the swinging movement of the stage plate 15 and the vertical movement of the sorting member 17 from being synchronized, and that the drive system is independent and operated separately from these power sources, that is, the motor 37. It is not a hindrance.

  The sphere P dropped on the rear edge 15b of the stage plate 15 is then received by the rear edge 16b of the second stage plate 16 and moved to the left and right through the two-stage distribution tables 64 and 63 as described above. In this state, the player wins a specific winning port 28 or a normal winning port 29 that is lined up along the front edge 16a, is detected by passing through the switch, and is sent to one of the guide paths 69 and 70. become.

The interlocking mechanism 71 receives a winning ball P which is won by the specific winning port 28 and guided to the guide path 69, and operates a lock mechanism 72 incorporated in the small entrance 11 by the weight of the ball. Then, by using the winning ball P which has won the specific winning opening 28, the gate for closing the other winning opening, here, the small entrance 11 which is the second winning opening is released, thereby increasing the chance of winning. It was incorporated as a means to increase the number of prize balls released.
In other words, the interlocking mechanism 71 uses the weight of the ball P won in the winning room 26 corresponding to the first winning opening or the specific winning opening 28 to make the small entrance 11 serving as the second winning opening. The variable door 14 to be closed, that is, a means for opening the variable door and enabling winning of a hit ball to the small entrance 11 is inserted as a device that interlocks both winning ports.

Next, the interlocking mechanism 71 will be described in further detail.
The interlock mechanism 71 receives the winning ball P from the guide path 69 and descends by its weight, and an interlocking rod 74 that transmits the vertical movement of the elevator 73 to the lock mechanism 72 of the gate (variable door 14). Consists of
The lifting platform 73 is housed in a cover 75 that is fixed to the back surface portion of the back plate 9a of the box frame 9, and is slid up and down in the cover 75.

The cover 75 is a guide means for the lifting platform 73 and is formed in an approximately L shape when viewed from the side. The cover 75 is a screw (see FIG. (Not shown) and the lower half horizontal portion 75b faces the rear end of the guide path 69 (see FIG. 20).
On the other hand, the elevating platform 73 has an upper vertically long portion 73a fitted in the vertical portion 75a of the cover 75 so as to be freely slidable in the vertical direction, and a lower horizontal portion 73b is accommodated in the horizontal portion 75b of the cover. Further, a screw for fixing the cover 75 is passed through a vertically elongated hole 77 formed in the longitudinal portion 73 a so that the lifting platform 73 can be moved up and down within the range of the length of the vertically elongated hole 77.

  The lifting platform 73 includes a ball receiving portion 78 that opens a ball entrance toward the front in a horizontal portion 73 b of the lower half, and the lifting platform 73 is at an elevated position, that is, a cover fixing screw is at the lower end of the vertically long hole 77. When abutting, it faces and communicates with the rear end of the guide path 69 so that the winning ball P sent through the guide path 69 can be received by the ball receiving portion 78.

As shown in the figure, here, the interlocking rods 74 are paired symmetrically. Each interlocking rod 74 is pivotally attached to a bearing portion 80 provided on the back surface of the mounting plate 7 via a support shaft 81 so that a shaft-mounted hollow shaft 79 provided in the middle of the length can be freely rotated. It can swing up and down.
Then, a shaft portion 82 projects from the inner end, that is, the inner end, and this shaft portion 82 is slidably connected to a connecting long hole 83 formed laterally on the lifting platform 73 and connected to the outer end. A weight pin 84 for balancing at the outer portion, that is, the outer end is fitted into and attached to the hole 85, and the tip of this pin is engaged with a locking member 86 of a lock mechanism 72 described later.

The balancing weight pin 84 lowers the outer end of the interlocking rod 74 when there is no winning ball P on the lifting platform 73, and rises when the winning ball P enters the ball receiving portion 78. The locking member 86 is pushed up.
That is, the weight pin 84 swings the interlocking rod 74 in relation to the presence or absence of the winning ball P entering the lifting platform 73, and the lifting platform 73 is in the raised position and the winning ball P is received in the ball receiving portion 78. When the ball P is turned down upon receiving the weight of the ball P, it swings around the support shaft 81, jumps up the outer end on the weight pin 84 side, pushes up the locking member 86, and becomes a gate. The door 14 is released.

FIGS. 27 to 36 are explanatory views for explaining the operation of the variable door 14 that opens and closes the small entrance 11 of the lock mechanism 72 in accordance with the swinging of the interlocking rod 74 of the interlocking mechanism 71. Hereinafter, the relationship between the interlocking rod 74 and the lock mechanism 72 will be described with reference to these drawings.
In the present embodiment, two small air inlets 11 are provided in the left and right wing pieces 7a, 7a of the mounting plate 7 so as to be bilaterally symmetric, and a receiving portion 12 and a frame portion are provided in each of the small air inlets 11. 13 and the movable door 14, and each of the locking members 86 for controlling the free movement of the variable door 14 is provided.

The variable door 14 provided in the small flight entrance 11 is formed as a rectangular thick plate having a length in the front-rear direction, and a bearing hole 87 penetrating right and left is formed in a substantially central portion of the length. A support shaft 89 is passed through the hole 87, and is supported by bearings 90, 90 protruding from the rear edge of the receiving portion 12 so as to freely rotate.
The receiving portion 12 has a role of a pocket for receiving a hit ball, and a side wall 12b is extended from the left and right sides of the front plate portion 12a to the rear so as to face each other, and the bearing portion 90 is provided on the side wall 12b. . Then, the rear edge of the side wall 12b is brought into contact with the front surface of the mounting plate 7 and screwed to cover the front surface of the wing piece portion 7a of the mounting plate 7 in front of the small inlet 11.

Before attaching the receiving part 12 to the mounting plate 7, the variable door 14 has a support shaft 89 attached to the bearing parts 90, 90 and brought into the small entrance 11. Attach to the small entrance 11.
When the receiving portion 12 is attached, a cylindrical upper and lower space for allowing the winning ball P to pass therethrough is secured between the receiving plate 12 and the front end portion of the variable door 14 can be received into the space. It is.

The variable door 14 is balanced so as to always fall forward by burying a weight 91 in front of the bearing hole 87, and the rear end thereof is received on the upper surface of the variable door 14. A protruding piece 93 that receives a winning ball P that rolls backward according to the gradient is provided in a rising shape.
As shown in FIG. 39, the variable door 14 closes the small entrance 11 when the front end is lifted up with the support shaft 89 as a fulcrum, and the receiving portion 12 is opened in a cylindrical shape along with this. When the variable door 14 falls down horizontally as shown in FIG. 40, the stopper 94 that protrudes the rear end protruding piece 93 from the receiving frame 13 is allowed to pass. Is held in a horizontal posture, and the small entrance 11 is opened in this state. At the same time, the front end portion of the variable door 14 is pushed into the receiving portion 12 to receive a hit ball from above, and the ball can be rolled into the receiving frame 13 by rolling the upper surface.

  The weight 91 embedded in the variable door 14 is stable in each posture when the variable door 14 is in a horizontal posture (see FIG. 40) or when it jumps up and is in a standing posture (see FIG. 39). Further, when it is in a horizontal posture, it is securely supported so that it does not fall forward due to the abutment of the stopper 94 and the protruding piece 93, and when it is converted to the standing posture, the locking member 86 is Engagement with the variable door 14 prevents arbitrary conversion to the horizontal posture.

Next, reference numeral 95 in the figure denotes an engagement piece that is one of the components of the lock mechanism 72 that stands up along one side edge behind the position of the bearing hole 87 of the variable door 14.
The engaging piece 95 has a front edge portion 95a standing at right angles to the upper surface of the variable door 14, and an arcuate edge 95b is formed rearward from the upper end of the front edge portion 95a to form a fan shape as a whole. When the door 14 is in the standing posture, the locking member 86 that is a part of the structure of the lock mechanism 72 is hooked on the front edge 95a to prevent the conversion to the horizontal posture.

The locking member 86 has a substantially L shape, and is pivotally attached to a bearing portion 96 provided at a bent portion at the center of the length through a support shaft 97 implanted on the back surface of the blade piece portion 7a. One end is provided with a curved swing arm 98 that slides on the pin 84, and the other end is provided with a locking piece 99 that engages with the engaging piece 95 of the variable door 14.
The locking member 86 is supported by a support shaft 97, the swinging arm 98 faces the weight pin 84 provided at the tip of the interlocking rod 74, and the other locking piece 99 is attached to the variable door 14. The engaging piece 95 is always in contact with the rear side surface.

  That is, the locking member 86 is configured such that the swinging arm 98 extending long from the bent portion serving as a fulcrum has a greater weight than the other engagement piece 95 side, and the swinging member 98 swings around the support shaft 97. The balance is made so that the moving arm 98 always moves down. Accordingly, the locking piece 99 protruding downward is biased so as to protrude toward the engaging piece 95 of the variable door 14.

In this embodiment, variable doors 14 and 14 are respectively provided at two small entrances 11 and 11 provided adjacent to each other, and are arranged side by side on the left and right. The left and right locking members 86, 86 are moved in the left-right direction so that one weight pin 84 of 74 is faced and the swinging arms 98 of the locking members 86, 86 are bridged from the left and right toward the pin 84. It seems to face symmetrically.
This relationship is the same for the pair of small inlets 11 and 11 formed in the left and right wing pieces 7a and 7a, and two locking members 86 and 86 are provided on each of the left and right sides. The swinging arms 98, 98 are extended from the left and right sides of the weight pin 84, and are slid.

The lock mechanism 72 according to the present invention is configured by the engagement member 86 and the engagement piece 95 formed on the variable door 14 as described above, and the engagement relationship between the engagement piece 95 and the engagement piece 99 of the engagement member 86. Thus, the rotation of the variable door 14 is restricted, and the opening and closing movement is controlled.
Next, this relationship will be further described in detail with the operation of the interlocking mechanism 71 including the lifting platform 73 and the interlocking rod 74.

As described above, the ball P transferred into the specific winning port 28 (first winning port) through the winning room 26 enters the ball receiving portion 78 of the lifting platform 73 that waits backward through the guide path 69 (FIG. 20).
The lifting platform 73 balances with the pins 84, 84 provided at the ends of the two interlocking rods 74, 74 extending to the left and right, and in a state where the ball P is not received, by pushing up the interlocking rod 74 with the support shafts 81, 81 as a fulcrum. The ball entrance 100 a that is in the raised position (see FIGS. 18 and 21) and faces the front of the ball receiving portion 78 faces the guide path 69.
When the ball P is transferred into the ball receiving portion 78 and received (see FIG. 20), the ball P descends while pushing up the weight pins 84 and 84, and when the ball P reaches the lowest position, the ball P Will be discharged out of the system through the lower end of the cover 75 from the ball outlet 100b opened at the rear of the ball receiving portion 78 (see FIG. 25).
As a result of the weight being reduced with the release of the ball P, the lifting platform 73 rises again in response to the weight of the pins 84 and 84 and waits for the next winning ball. Then, the left and right interlocking rods 74, 74 return the weight pins 84, 84 to the lowered position and restore them.

The raising of the weight pins 84, 84 provided at the tip of the interlocking rod 74 by the lowering of the lifting platform 73 raises the swinging arms 98, 98 of the locking members 86, 86 that slide on the pin 84. Then, the locking members 86, 86 are inclined with the respective support shafts 97 as fulcrums, and the locking pieces 99, 99 at the other end are separated from the engaging pieces 95, 95 of the variable doors 14, 14 (FIG. 30). , See FIG.
The variable door 14 thus freed receives the weight of the weight 91 and falls forward with the support shaft 89 as a fulcrum, and the projecting piece 93 at the rear end abuts against the stopper 94 to stabilize the posture. At the same time, the front end portion protrudes into the receiving portion 12 to open the small entrance 11 (see FIG. 37).

That is, FIGS. 31 to 33 and FIG. 40 illustrate a state in which the variable door 14 is in a horizontal posture, and at this time, the small entrance 11 is opened. FIGS. 31 to 33 illustrate the relationship between the interlocking rod 74 of the interlocking mechanism 71 and the locking member 86 of the locking mechanism 72 when the variable door 14 is in the horizontal posture.
Next, when the hit ball P jumps into the receiving portion 12 in this state, the ball P is received by the front end portion of the variable door 14, and is guided by the inclination of the upper surface to pass through the small inlet 11 and behind the variable door 14. Since the center of gravity of the variable door 14 is moved to the rear end by the movement of the ball P, the variable door 14 falls backward with the support shaft 89 as a fulcrum and stands up. This is converted into a posture (see FIG. 36).

27 to 30 and FIG. 39 show the variable door 14 in the standing posture, and the receiving portion 12 is vertically penetrated by the jumping up of the front end portion of the variable door 14, and at the same time a small entrance is provided. 11 will be closed.
Accordingly, in this state, the hit ball P that has entered the receiving portion 12 passes through the hollow portion of the receiving portion, is returned to the spear gaming portion 4 as it is, and falls toward the other winning holes 5.
As shown in the figure, the receiving portion 12 opens a window in the front plate portion 12a to open the front surface of the small entrance 11 so that the variable door 14 that rotates inside the small entrance can be seen. It is preferable that the player can visually recognize the posture change of the variable door 14.

On the other hand, the engaging piece 95 of the engaging member 86 that has been in contact with the outer surface of the engaging piece 95 during the conversion of the variable door 14 into the standing posture is the rear end of the variable door 14. The lowering causes the lowering to move downward, and the free door becomes free, and the pivoting shaft 97 serves as a fulcrum to protrude toward the variable door 14 side.
As described above, when the winning ball P is released from the lifting platform 73, the weight pin 84 of the interlocking rod 74 becomes heavier than the weight of the lifting platform alone, so that it immediately returns to the lowered position. As a result, the locking member 86 projects the swing arm 98 into the air.
For this reason, when the locking piece 99 loses its support, the locking member 86 lowers the heavy swing arm 98 with the support shaft 97 as a fulcrum, and the locking piece 99 is moved to the variable door 14 side. Will stick out.

  The locking piece 99 has a leading edge 101 formed in an arc shape, and when the variable door 14 jumps up, the leading edge 101 is slid on the front edge 95a of the engaging piece 95 so as to slide. The protrusion 102 is projected to the side (see FIG. 29), and the protrusion 102 protruding from one end of the edge 101 of the tip is brought into contact with the side surface of the receiving frame 13, thereby restricting the protrusion amount.

The variable door 14 and the locking member 86 that controls the variable door 14 form a pair, and operate independently regardless of adjacent ones. Accordingly, the variable doors 14 and 14 at the two small entrances 11 and 11 provided adjacent to each other change only the variable door 14 on which the hit ball has entered from the horizontal posture to the standing posture, and the small doors 14 and 14 have the small flight. The entrance 11 will be closed, and the other variable door 14 will remain open.
FIG. 35 and FIG. 36 show this state. In the figure, the left one hits the hit ball and the variable door 14 is converted to the standing posture, and the right one shows the hit ball entering. This indicates a state in which the horizontal posture is maintained.

  In this state, the engagement piece 95 is lowered by lowering the rear end of the variable door 14 on the left side, and the swinging arm on the side of the variable door 14 is lost when the engagement piece 99 that is in contact with the side surface loses support. As a result, the arc-shaped edge 101 of the locking piece 99 slides on the front edge portion 95a of the engagement piece 95, and receives the weight of the weight 91 to take a horizontal posture. The variable door 14 to be returned is locked.

The protruding piece 93 protruding from the rear end of the variable door 14 serves to hold the winning ball P received on the upper surface from falling until the variable door 14 is converted to the standing posture, and the variable door 14 is surely secured. When the locking piece 99 stands up and locks the engaging piece 95 at the same time, the ball P is discharged from the outlet 103 (see FIG. 39) provided at the lower end of the rear wall of the receiving frame 13 according to the inclination of the protruding piece 93. .
On the other hand, the locking member 86 that locks the variable door 14 in the standing posture lowers the heavy swinging arm 98 with the support shaft 97 as a fulcrum when the locking piece 99 loses support, and waits in the lowered position first. It overlaps on the weight pin 84 of the interlocking rod 74 to be prepared for the next push-up.

  In this way, with respect to the movement of the variable door 14 and the locking member 86 at the left small entrance 11, the variable door 14 and the locking member 86 of the right small entrance 11 where the hit ball has not yet entered are When the variable door 14 is held in a horizontal posture in preparation for the hit of the hit ball, and the hit ball hits the receiving portion 12, the left variable door 14 and the locking member 86 The variable door 14 is locked through the same movement, and the swing arm 98 of the locking member 86 is overlaid on the weight pin 84.

By the way, in this embodiment, the left and right wing pieces 7a, 7a are each provided with two small flying entrances 11 and receiving portions 12, and two linkages connected to the lifting platform 73 with respect to these small flying entrances 11. Since the outer ends of the collars 74 and 74 are extended and the respective weight pins 84 are related to the variable door 14 and the locking member 86 for opening and closing the small entrance 11 as described above, the specific winning opening 28, when the winning ball P is received by the lifting platform 73, the pins 84, 84 are raised as the lifting platform is lowered, and the swing arms 98 of all four locking members 86 are pushed up. Become. Therefore, as a result of each of the locking pieces 99 being separated from the engaging piece 95, the lock state of the variable doors 14 is released, and each variable door 14 is in a horizontal posture from a state in which it stands up due to the uneven distribution of the center of gravity due to its weight 91. And all four small entrances 11 are opened.
At the same time, each of the small entrances 11 individually rotates the variable doors 14 by closing the hitting balls and closes the small entrances 11 and puts the variable doors 14 in the standing posture by the locking members 86 as described above. Will lock.

  Reference numeral 104 in the figure denotes a relay board for the detection switches 67, 68, 27a attached to the entrance 27 and the special or normal winning openings 28, 29. Reference numeral 105 denotes a mounting frame for fixing the relay board 104. It is. Reference numerals 106 and 107 denote LED boards provided with a large number of LEDs on the front face that blink in accordance with various effects.

As described above, the winning device according to the present invention includes a lifting platform 73 that descends by receiving the winning ball P that has entered the winning chamber 26 that hits the first winning opening, and that rises by releasing it. The built-in interlocking mechanism 71 includes an interlocking rod 74 that swings around the support shaft 81 by the vertical movement of the lifting platform 73 and moves the pin 84 that also serves as a weight provided at the outer end up and down. In response to the weight of the ball P that wins the first prize opening, the variable door 14 provided in each small entrance 11 that is the second prize opening can be opened.
Then, the locking member 86 actuated by the interlocking rod 74 engages the variable door 14 with a locking piece 99 provided integrally with the locking member by the weight of the swinging arm 98 that slides and connects to the interlocking rod 74. Since it is pressed against the piece 95 and is urged so that it can always be engaged, when the variable door 14 stands up and the small entrance 11 is closed, the engaging piece 95 is immediately engaged to cause the variable door 14 to move. It can be restrained to a standing posture.

On the other hand, when the hit ball enters the first winning opening, the interlocking rod 74 swings, and the swinging arm 98 of the locking member 86 is flipped up, the locking piece 99 comes off the engaging piece 95. It is possible to immediately convert to a horizontal posture in which the variable door is unconstrained and opened.
Then, the locking member 86 that has released the constraint does not engage the locking piece with the engaging piece unless the variable door 14 receives the winning ball and converts to the standing posture. Since it is always in the engagement restraint posture until it changes to the standing posture, it can respond immediately to the change of posture of the variable door, so that it is prepared for quick control and is accurate.
