特開2002−239175号公報JP 2002-239175 A

球受皿(上部球受皿)は、通常、特許文献1のように、前板の前面を覆う飾板部材(当て板部材)と、その飾板部材の前面に横設される皿部材と、それら飾板部材及び皿部材の前面を覆うカバー部材とで構成されている。皿部材には、遊技球が貯留される皿部(貯留部)と、底部が一方に緩やかに下り傾斜し、飾板部材側に遊技球が一列に整列される整流通路とが形成されている。そして、飾板部材、皿部材及びカバー部材は、合成樹脂などによる成型品であるため、皿部材の整流通路には、略中央から下流側にかけてその上面を覆うように断面コ字形状の金属板(金属プレート)が装着されている。この金属板により、整流通路における遊技球の円滑な流れを図り、上面の摩耗及び汚れを防ぐと共に遊技球に帯電した静電気を除去することができる。   The ball receiving tray (upper ball receiving tray) is generally a decorative plate member (cover plate member) that covers the front surface of the front plate, a plate member that is installed horizontally on the front surface of the decorative plate member, and the like, as in Patent Document 1. It is comprised with the cover member which covers the front surface of a decorating board member and a dish member. The dish member is formed with a dish part (reservoir part) in which game balls are stored, and a rectifying passage in which the bottom part gently descends and inclines to one side, and the game balls are aligned in a row on the decorative plate member side. . Since the decorative plate member, the dish member, and the cover member are molded products made of synthetic resin or the like, the rectifying passage of the dish member is a metal plate having a U-shaped cross section so as to cover the upper surface from approximately the center to the downstream side. (Metal plate) is installed. With this metal plate, it is possible to achieve a smooth flow of the game ball in the rectifying passage, to prevent wear and dirt on the upper surface, and to remove static electricity charged in the game ball.

しかしながら、皿部材は、整流通路に装着された金属板の屈曲部分(後端面)が飾板部材の前面に突き当てた形で横設されているので、例えば、貸球機から貸し出されて落下する遊技球を受け止めた際の衝撃により、その受け止めた底部に連続する皿部や整流通路が僅かながらにも振動する。この振動によって、金属板の屈曲部分に当接する飾板部材の前面が削れたり摩耗して屑が発生し、その屑が整流通路に堆積することで遊技球の円滑な流れを阻害する虞がある。   However, the plate member is laid horizontally with the bent portion (rear end surface) of the metal plate attached to the rectifying passage being in contact with the front surface of the decorative plate member. Due to the impact when the game ball is received, the dish portion and the rectifying passage continuing to the received bottom portion vibrate slightly. Due to this vibration, the front surface of the decorative plate member that is in contact with the bent portion of the metal plate is scraped or worn to generate debris, and the debris accumulates in the rectifying passage, which may hinder the smooth flow of the game ball. .

また、金属板は、下面部分に設けられた取付部がビスなどの締結部材によって皿部材に固定され、屈曲部分(後端面)が飾板部材の前面に当接しているだけで、遊技球が流下する上面部分については、金属板自身の弾発力により浮き上がりが抑えられているだけにすぎない。したがって、経時変化や使用頻度とともに遊技球の脈動や重みなどが影響してその弾発力が弱まり、上面部分が浮き上がって前側から後側に整流通路が下り傾斜し、遊技球の円滑な流れを阻害する虞がある。   In addition, the metal plate has a mounting portion provided on the lower surface portion fixed to the dish member by a fastening member such as a screw, and a bent portion (rear end surface) is in contact with the front surface of the decorative plate member. As for the upper surface portion that flows down, the floating is only suppressed by the elasticity of the metal plate itself. Therefore, the pulsation and weight of the game ball are affected by changes over time and frequency of use, and its elasticity is weakened, the upper surface part rises, the rectification passage descends from the front side to the rear side, and the smooth flow of the game ball May interfere.

また、下面部分に設けられた取付部を締結部材によって固定するときに、その締結治具の締め付ける力が過剰に働いて、金属板が皿部材とのクリアランスの分だけ傾き、遊技球の円滑な流れを阻害する問題がある。   Further, when the mounting portion provided on the lower surface portion is fixed by the fastening member, the tightening force of the fastening jig works excessively, and the metal plate is inclined by the clearance with the dish member, so that the game ball is smooth. There is a problem that obstructs the flow.

本発明は、上記実情に鑑みてなされたものであり、整流通路に金属板を装着した場合に、長期にわたり整流通路における遊技球の円滑な流れを確保することが可能な球受皿を備えた遊技機を提供することにある。   The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and a game provided with a ball tray that can ensure a smooth flow of game balls in the rectifying passage over a long period of time when a metal plate is attached to the rectifying passage. Is to provide a machine.

当て板部材には、皿部材の整流通路形成部に対応して溝状、長孔状、切欠状又は段差状の固定部が形成され、その固定部に金属プレートとともに該整流通路形成部が嵌まり込んで皿部材が固定されていることを特徴とする。
In order to solve the above problems, the gaming machine of the present invention is:
In a gaming machine equipped with a ball tray, the ball tray is
A tray member having a storage part for temporarily storing game balls, and a rectifying passage for flowing the game balls stored in the storage part in a row in order to supply the game balls one by one to the ball launcher;
A backing plate member disposed on the rear side of the dish member and forming a storage portion and a rear wall of the rectifying passage;
On the plate member, a single bent metal plate is covered from at least the upper surface to the rear end surface of the rectifying passage forming portion that has a predetermined thickness and forms the bottom wall of the rectifying passage along the rear end edge. Is assembled to
A groove plate, a long hole shape, a notch shape or a stepped fixing portion is formed in the abutting plate member corresponding to the rectifying passage forming portion of the dish member, and the rectifying passage forming portion is fitted to the fixing portion together with the metal plate. The dish member is fixed by being stuck.

上記本発明によれば、当て板部材に皿部材の整流通路形成部に対応して溝状、長孔状、切欠状又は段差状の固定部が形成されており、その固定部に金属プレートとともに整流通路形成部が嵌まり込んだ形で皿部材が当て板部材に固定されている。これによれば、整流通路に金属プレートを装着した場合にも、長期にわたり整流通路における遊技球の円滑な流れを確保することが可能となる。なお、金属プレートの形状としては、整流通路形成部の上面から後端面を覆う断面L字状、又は整流通路形成部の上面から後端面及び下面にかけて挟み込むように組み付けられる断面コ字状のものを使用することができる。   According to the present invention, the fixing member having a groove shape, a long hole shape, a notch shape, or a stepped shape is formed in the abutting plate member corresponding to the rectifying passage forming portion of the plate member, and the fixing portion together with the metal plate The dish member is fixed to the contact plate member in a form in which the rectifying passage forming portion is fitted. According to this, even when a metal plate is attached to the rectifying passage, it is possible to ensure a smooth flow of game balls in the rectifying passage over a long period of time. The shape of the metal plate is an L-shaped section that covers the rear end surface from the upper surface of the rectifying passage forming portion, or a U-shaped section that is assembled so as to be sandwiched from the upper surface of the rectifying passage forming portion to the rear end surface and the lower surface. Can be used.

すなわち、固定部を溝状、長孔状又は切欠状などの溝部とした場合には、金属プレートは、整流通路形成部とともに当て板部材の溝部に嵌め込まれているので、皿部材において貸球機から貸し出されて落下する遊技球を受け止めた際に衝撃が加わったとしても、整流通路が振動して金属プレートが当て板部材の前面を削り、屑を発生するといったことがなくなり、長期にわたり整流通路における遊技球の円滑な流れを確保することが可能となる。また、金属プレートは、整流通路形成部とともに当て板部材の溝部に嵌め込まれているので、金属プレートの上面部分の浮き上がりを効果的に抑制することができる。ひいては、金属プレートを皿部材に固定するときのビスなどの締結部材を留めた時の傾きを抑制することができる。また、固定部を段差状の段差部とした場合には、金属プレートは、例えば上面部分が段差部に当接するように嵌め込まれるので、金属プレートの上面部分の浮き上がりを効果的に抑制することができる。   That is, when the fixing portion is a groove portion such as a groove shape, a long hole shape, or a notch shape, the metal plate is fitted in the groove portion of the abutting plate member together with the rectifying passage forming portion. Even if an impact is applied when a game ball that is rented and dropped is received, the rectifying passage will not vibrate and the metal plate will not scrape the front surface of the backing plate member to generate debris. It is possible to ensure a smooth flow of game balls at. Moreover, since the metal plate is fitted in the groove portion of the contact plate member together with the rectifying passage forming portion, it is possible to effectively suppress the floating of the upper surface portion of the metal plate. As a result, the inclination when fastening members, such as a screw, when fixing a metal plate to a plate member can be suppressed. Further, when the fixing portion is a stepped step portion, the metal plate is fitted so that, for example, the upper surface portion is in contact with the step portion, so that the floating of the upper surface portion of the metal plate can be effectively suppressed. it can.

また、当て板部材における固定部は、整流通路形成部の後端面を覆う部分の金属プレートの厚みよりも深く形成されている構成とすることができる。これによれば、金属プレートを固定部に嵌め込んだときに、確実に金属プレートの上面部分を抑えることができる。   Moreover, the fixing | fixed part in a contact plate member can be set as the structure deeply formed rather than the thickness of the metal plate of the part which covers the rear-end surface of a rectification | straightening channel | path formation part. According to this, when the metal plate is fitted into the fixed portion, the upper surface portion of the metal plate can be reliably suppressed.

なお、固定部を溝部とした場合には、固定部(溝部)に嵌め込まれた金属プレートの幅は、整流通路として露出する金属プレートの幅に対して、1/8以上1/3以下の範囲であることが好ましく、より好ましくは1/7以上1/5以下の範囲である。金属プレートを上記範囲で固定部(溝部)に嵌め込むことで、上面部分の浮き上がりを効果的に抑制することができる。また、固定部(溝部)に嵌め込まれた金属プレートの幅の上記値が1/8よりも小さいと整流通路が振動して固定部(溝部)の開口付近が削られる虞があり、屑の発生や、上面部分の浮き上がりの問題が懸念される。一方、上記値が1/3よりも大きいと、金型の抜き勾配などにより金属プレートと固定部(溝部)とのクリアランスが大きくなり、固定部(溝部)によってしっかりと金属プレートを嵌め込むことができなくなる虞がある。なお、整流通路として露出する金属プレートの幅は、大きすぎると折れや反り上がりの問題が発生するので、遊技球の直径とほぼ同じが好ましい。   When the fixing portion is a groove portion, the width of the metal plate fitted in the fixing portion (groove portion) is in the range of 1/8 to 1/3 of the width of the metal plate exposed as the rectifying passage. Preferably, it is in the range of 1/7 or more and 1/5 or less. By fitting the metal plate into the fixed portion (groove portion) within the above range, the upper surface portion can be effectively prevented from rising. Moreover, if the above value of the width of the metal plate fitted in the fixed part (groove part) is smaller than 1/8, the rectifying passage may vibrate and the vicinity of the opening of the fixed part (groove part) may be scraped off, and generation of waste In addition, there is a concern about the problem of floating of the upper surface portion. On the other hand, if the above value is larger than 1/3, the clearance between the metal plate and the fixed part (groove part) increases due to the draft angle of the mold, and the metal plate can be firmly fitted by the fixed part (groove part). There is a risk that it will not be possible. It should be noted that the metal plate exposed as the rectifying passage is preferably approximately the same as the diameter of the game ball because if the width of the metal plate is too large, a problem of bending or warping occurs.

また、当て板部材における固定部は、皿部材において整流通路形成部に連続し所定の厚みを有する貯留部の後端縁を金属プレートと連続して嵌め込むように形成する構成とすることができる。これによれば、皿部材における貯留部及び整流通路の底壁を当て板部材に対して位置強制し、かつ補強支持することができる。   Moreover, the fixing | fixed part in a contact plate member can be set as the structure formed so that the rear-end edge of the storage part which continues a rectification | straightening channel | path formation part in a plate member, and has predetermined | prescribed thickness may be continuously fitted with a metal plate. . According to this, the storage part in the dish member and the bottom wall of the rectifying passage can be forcibly positioned with respect to the contact plate member and can be reinforced and supported.

また、当て板部材は、皿部材の整流通路形成部の下面側を支持するベース部材と、該整流通路形成部の上面側を支持するクランプ部材とを含む複数部材によって構成され、それらベース部材及びクランプ部材によって溝部を形成する構成とすることができる。これによれば、整流通路形成部を予めベース部材に載置した後に、クランプ部材によって挟み込む(嵌め込む)ことができ、組み付け作業が簡単となる。ひいては、金属プレートを溝部に嵌め込む際の折れ曲がりやキズといった事故を防ぐことができる。また、金型の抜き勾配などを考慮する必要がないため、上記値の制約を受けず、深く金属プレートを嵌め込む(挟み込む)ことが可能となる。   The backing plate member is constituted by a plurality of members including a base member that supports the lower surface side of the rectifying passage forming portion of the dish member, and a clamp member that supports the upper surface side of the rectifying passage forming portion. It can be set as the structure which forms a groove part with a clamp member. According to this, after the rectifying passage forming portion is placed on the base member in advance, it can be sandwiched (fitted) by the clamp member, and the assembling work is simplified. As a result, it is possible to prevent accidents such as bending and scratches when the metal plate is fitted into the groove. Further, since it is not necessary to consider the draft angle of the mold, the metal plate can be deeply fitted (sandwiched) without being restricted by the above values.

以下、本発明における実施形態を図面を参照しつつ説明する。図1は本発明の実施形態に係る遊技機の一例を示す正面図、図2は球受皿の分解斜視図、図3は球受皿の縦断面図及び要部拡大図である。   Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

An inner frame (not shown) is supported so as to be able to open one side toward the front side. A game board in which a game area defined by guide rails is formed is mounted on the inner frame, and a launching mechanism is provided below the game board. A front frame 4 provided with a transparent plate 3 such as glass covering the front of the game board is provided on one side of the inner frame so as to be freely opened and closed. A ball tray 5 that stores game balls, rectifies the stored game balls, and supplies the game balls to the launch mechanism is provided below the front surface of the front frame 4. A launch handle 6 for adjusting the launch force of the game ball is provided on the lower right side of the ball tray 5. In this specification, the front-rear direction in the pachinko machine 1 is the player side of the ball tray 5 is the front side, and the back side of the ball tray 5 is the rear side.

球受皿5は、図2及び図3に示すように、板金(図示せず)などの前面を覆う当て板部材10と、その当て板部材10の前面10aに横設される皿部材20と、それら当て板部材10及び皿部材20の前面側を覆う前飾り部材30とを備えている。これら当て板部材10、皿部材20及び前飾り部材30は、合成樹脂によって形成されている。   As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the ball tray 5 includes a plate member 10 that covers a front surface such as a sheet metal (not shown), a plate member 20 that is provided laterally on the front surface 10 a of the plate member 10, and A front decoration member 30 that covers the front side of the plate member 10 and the plate member 20 is provided. The contact plate member 10, the dish member 20, and the front decoration member 30 are made of synthetic resin.

まず先に、皿部材20は、底壁21と、その底壁21の前周縁から立ち上がる前周壁22とを備え、半皿状形態に形成されている。そして、皿部材20は、遊技球を一時的に貯留する貯留部23と、その貯留部23で貯留した遊技球を球発射装置に1個ずつ供給するために1列に整列して流下させる整流通路24とを形成している。具体的には、皿部材20の底壁21には、底壁21の後端縁21aに沿って長手状をなし、一段窪むとともに所定の厚みを有する整流通路形成部25が形成されている。その整流通路形成部25には、屈曲形成された1枚からなる金属プレート40が上面から後端面及び下面にかけて挟み込むように組み付けられている。これにより、整流通路24は、底壁が金属プレート40によって形成され、後壁が当て板部材10によって形成される。   First, the dish member 20 includes a bottom wall 21 and a front peripheral wall 22 that rises from the front peripheral edge of the bottom wall 21 and is formed in a semi-dish shape. The plate member 20 is a rectifier that temporarily stores game balls and stores the game balls stored in the storage unit 23 in a row in order to flow to the ball launcher one by one. A passage 24 is formed. Specifically, the bottom wall 21 of the dish member 20 is formed with a rectifying passage forming portion 25 having a longitudinal shape along the rear end edge 21a of the bottom wall 21 and being recessed one step and having a predetermined thickness. A single bent metal plate 40 is assembled to the rectifying passage forming portion 25 so as to be sandwiched from the upper surface to the rear end surface and the lower surface. As a result, the bottom wall of the rectifying passage 24 is formed by the metal plate 40, and the rear wall is formed by the contact plate member 10.

なお、金属プレート40は、図3(b)に示すように、断面コ字形状をなし、整流通路形成部25の上面、後端面及び下面をそれぞれ覆う上面部41,後面部42及び下面部43と、金属プレート40を皿部材20に固定するために下面部43から延設される取付部44とを備えている。そして、金属プレート40は、皿部材20の底壁21の下面側に形成された固定部21bに取付部44がビスなどの締結部材44aによって固定されることにより組み付けられている。したがって、金属プレート40が整流通路形成部25に装着されているので、整流通路22における遊技球の円滑な流れを図ることができ、整流通路形成部25の上面の摩耗及び汚れを防ぐと共に、取付部44に図示しないアース線を接続して遊技球に帯電した静電気を除去することができる。   As shown in FIG. 3B, the metal plate 40 has a U-shaped cross section and covers an upper surface portion 41, a rear surface portion 42, and a lower surface portion 43 that cover the upper surface, the rear end surface, and the lower surface of the rectifying passage forming portion 25, respectively. And a mounting portion 44 extending from the lower surface portion 43 to fix the metal plate 40 to the dish member 20. And the metal plate 40 is assembled | attached by fixing the attachment part 44 to the fixing | fixed part 21b formed in the lower surface side of the bottom wall 21 of the plate member 20 with fastening members 44a, such as a screw. Therefore, since the metal plate 40 is attached to the rectifying passage forming portion 25, it is possible to achieve a smooth flow of game balls in the rectifying passage 22, preventing wear and dirt on the upper surface of the rectifying passage forming portion 25, and mounting. A ground wire (not shown) can be connected to the unit 44 to remove static electricity charged in the game ball.

当て板部材10は、図2及び図3に示すように、皿部材20の後側に配置され、貯留部23及び整流通路24の後壁として板状形態に形成されている。また、当て板部材10は、図示しない球払出装置から払い出され球払出通路によって誘導された遊技球を皿部材20の貯留部23に受け入れる球払出口11や、その皿部材20の整流通路24で整流された遊技球を図示しない発射装置に供給するための球導入口12が貫通形成されている。また、当て板部材10には、皿部材20の整流通路形成部25(金属プレート40)に対応して凹状、長孔状又は切欠状の溝部13が形成されている。そして、当て板部材10には、その溝部13に金属プレート40とともに整流通路形成部25が嵌め込まれて皿部材20が固定されている。なお、溝部13が本発明における固定部に対応する。   As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the contact plate member 10 is disposed on the rear side of the dish member 20, and is formed in a plate shape as a rear wall of the storage portion 23 and the rectifying passage 24. Further, the contact plate member 10 includes a ball payout outlet 11 that receives a game ball paid out from a ball payout device (not shown) and guided by the ball payout passage into the storage portion 23 of the plate member 20, and a rectifying passage 24 of the plate member 20. A ball inlet 12 for penetrating the game ball rectified in (1) to a launching device (not shown) is formed therethrough. In addition, a concave, long hole or notched groove 13 is formed in the contact plate member 10 corresponding to the rectifying passage forming portion 25 (metal plate 40) of the dish member 20. The plate member 20 is fixed to the backing plate member 10 by fitting the rectifying passage forming portion 25 together with the metal plate 40 into the groove portion 13. In addition, the groove part 13 respond | corresponds to the fixing | fixed part in this invention.

なお、当て板部材10の溝部13は、図3(b)に示すように、整流通路形成部25の後端面(底壁21の後端面21a)を覆う金属プレート40の後面部42の厚みよりも深く形成されている。   As shown in FIG. 3B, the groove portion 13 of the contact plate member 10 has a thickness of the rear surface portion 42 of the metal plate 40 that covers the rear end surface (the rear end surface 21 a of the bottom wall 21) of the rectifying passage forming portion 25. Is also deeply formed.

ここで、溝部13に嵌め込まれた金属プレートの幅W1は、整流通路として露出する金属プレートの幅W2に対して、1/8以上1/3以下の範囲であることが好ましく、より好ましくは1/7以上1/5以下の範囲である。金属プレート40を上記範囲で溝部13に嵌め込むことで、上面部41の浮き上がりを効果的に抑制することができる。また、溝部13に嵌め込まれた金属プレート40の幅W1の上記値が1/8よりも小さいと、皿部材20において貸球機から貸し出されて落下する遊技球を底壁21が受け止めた際に衝撃が加わった場合に、整流通路22が振動して溝部13の開口付近が金属プレート40によって削られる虞があり、屑の発生や、上面部41の浮き上がりの問題が懸念される。一方、上記値が1/3よりも大きいと、金型の抜き勾配などにより金属プレート40と溝部13とのクリアランスが大きくなり、溝部13によってしっかりと金属プレート40を嵌み込むことができなくなる虞がある。なお、整流通路23として露出する金属プレート40の幅W2は、大きすぎると折れや反り上がりの問題が発生するので、遊技球Pの直径Dとほぼ同じに形成されている。   Here, the width W1 of the metal plate fitted in the groove 13 is preferably in the range of 1/8 or more and 1/3 or less of the width W2 of the metal plate exposed as the rectifying passage, more preferably 1 The range is from / 7 to 1/5. By fitting the metal plate 40 into the groove portion 13 within the above range, the upper surface portion 41 can be effectively prevented from being lifted. Further, when the above value of the width W1 of the metal plate 40 fitted in the groove 13 is smaller than 1/8, when the bottom wall 21 receives a game ball that is lent out from the rental machine and falls in the dish member 20. When an impact is applied, the rectifying passage 22 vibrates and the vicinity of the opening of the groove portion 13 may be scraped by the metal plate 40, and there is a concern about the generation of debris and the problem of the upper surface portion 41 being lifted. On the other hand, if the above value is larger than 1/3, the clearance between the metal plate 40 and the groove 13 is increased due to the draft angle of the mold, and the metal plate 40 may not be firmly fitted by the groove 13. There is. Note that the width W2 of the metal plate 40 exposed as the rectifying passage 23 is formed to be approximately the same as the diameter D of the game ball P because if the width W2 is too large, a problem of bending or warping occurs.
