Description

  The present invention relates to an operation of a game ball in a game area using a connecting material when the game ball is launched through a ball tray with a flexible string-like connecting material attached. The present invention relates to a pachinko gaming machine that can prevent fraud.

  Recently, as a fraudulent act of illegally obtaining a prize ball in a pachinko game machine, a flexible connecting material such as a thin fishing line (about 0.1 to 0.3φ) is attached to the game ball. The game is launched from the launcher into the game area, and the winning switch is turned on many times by operating the connecting material and reciprocating the game ball at the winning switch portion of the winning port such as the normal winning port. There was an act of illegally obtaining a prize ball.

  In addition, as an illegal act to be performed by attaching the connecting material to the game ball, in addition to holding the connecting material, the game ball is thrown into the counter, the connecting material is operated, and the game ball is moved by the ball sensor portion. Some have increased the count value by reciprocating (see, for example, Patent Document 1). Conventionally, as a countermeasure against such an illegal act, an abnormal movement of the game ball that is reversed at the ball sensor portion is detected by a predetermined lever switch to notify the illegal act.

  Therefore, in a pachinko gaming machine, it is conceivable to provide the above lever switch or the like in the vicinity of a winning switch to cope with an illegal act caused by an operation of a connecting member attached to a game ball.

Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 10-85441 (pages 5-7, FIG. 1)

  However, in conventional pachinko gaming machines, there are a large number of winning holes, and placing a lever switch or the like that senses the movement of a reversing game ball in each winning hole means that a power line or signal line connected to the lever switch or the like This is not preferable because the installation space and the number of parts are increased.

  The present invention solves the above-mentioned problem, and even if it is going to use a game ball with a connecting material, it can prevent an unauthorized operation within the game area of the game ball using the connecting material as a simple configuration. The purpose is to provide a pachinko machine.

The pachinko gaming machine according to the present invention is a pachinko gaming machine configured such that a game ball from a ball tray is fired to a game area via a launching device, and is further configured to reach a winning switch.
To reduce the speed from the ball tray side to the game area side in the connecting material connected to the game ball as a flexible string in the path of the game ball between the ball tray and the game area, A resistance portion that contacts the connecting material with resistance is disposed,
The resistance part
In order to allow the launch of game balls with no connection material into the game area and to suppress the launch of game balls with a connection material into the game area,
The contact with the game ball itself that moves from the ball tray toward the game area is suppressed, and the contact is made at a position that contacts the connecting material that is fed out in a row with the moving game ball. .

  In the pachinko gaming machine according to the present invention, if the game ball is fired through a ball receiving tray with a flexible string-like connecting material attached, the connecting material connected to the game ball becomes the resistance portion. The speed (feeding speed) is reduced by applying resistance (friction resistance, resistance at the time of catching, etc.) by contacting the surface. If the speed of the connecting material is reduced, the movement of the game ball is braked, and the game ball can be prevented from being launched into the game area.

  In addition, since the resistance portion is arranged so that contact with the game ball itself moving from the ball tray toward the game area can be suppressed, it is possible to prevent a game ball without a connecting material from being launched into the game area. It is acceptable, and it is possible to launch a game ball in a normal game into the game area without hindrance without reducing the launch speed of the game ball into the game area in a normal game.

  Furthermore, in the pachinko gaming machine according to the present invention, a game in which a connecting material is attached simply by disposing a resistance portion at a position where the contact with the game ball itself can be suppressed and the connecting material can be brought out. The launch of the ball into the game area can be prevented, and the illegal operation of the game ball using the connecting material can be prevented with a simple configuration.

<Explanation of Claim 2>
And, in the pachinko gaming machine according to the present invention, if the path of the game ball from the ball tray to the game area has a curved path part, the inner side of the curved path part is on the side of the path surface. It is desirable to arrange a resistance part.

  In such a configuration, the connecting material that is drawn out in a row with the moving game ball can be pressed against the resistance portion as a tension state, and a large resistance (friction resistance, drag resistance, etc.) can be applied to the connecting material. it can. On the other hand, the game ball simply passes through the non-contact with the resistance part or is in contact with the resistance part by applying pressure of its own weight, and the resistance part is in contact with the moving game ball itself. It is difficult to apply contact resistance that decelerates. Therefore, with such a configuration, it is possible to smoothly brake the connecting member and launch a game ball in a normal game into the game area.

<Explanation of Claim 3>
In the above case, the resistance portion has an opening width that prevents the game ball from entering, extends along the moving direction of the game ball passing through the curved passage portion, and has a narrow bottom that can guide the fed connection material to the bottom side. A groove and a hooking groove that is arranged on the bottom side of the groove so as to widen the opening and allows the connecting material guided to the bottom to enter the hook so that it can be hooked and to restrict the movement of the groove to the opening. , May be provided.

  In such a configuration, when the connecting material is pulled and tensioned by the game ball, it is smoothly guided from the opening of the groove portion of the resistance portion to the bottom portion of the groove portion and enters the hooking groove. After that, even if the connecting material is pulled by the game ball, it does not come off the groove portion, but is subjected to sliding resistance (dynamic friction resistance) on the inner peripheral surface of the hooking groove, and is stably decelerated. In particular, even if the connecting material is pulled by the game ball and pulled out in a direction away from the groove, the connecting material can be applied with sliding resistance on the hooking surface facing the bottom of the hooking groove, The connecting member can be stably decelerated by sliding on the side or sliding on the opposite hooking surface side.

  In addition, the hooking groove is arranged on the bottom side of the groove part into which the game ball cannot enter, so that the game is not brought into contact with the game ball in a decelerating state and the game at the time of normal game with no connecting material attached The ball can be launched into the game area without any trouble.

  In addition, on the bottom side of the groove part including the inner peripheral surface of the hooking groove, in order to increase the sliding resistance with the connecting material, fine irregularities that increase the frictional resistance (dynamic frictional resistance), elastic coating layers such as rubber, etc. A frictional resistance increasing surface portion may be provided.

<Explanation of Claim 4>
Further, it is desirable that the resistance portion provided with the above-mentioned hooking groove is disposed in a passage from the ball receiving tray to the dropping rail of the launching device. In such a configuration, if the path of the game ball after passing through the resistance portion becomes a path that is launched on the launch rail, the direction of movement of the game ball is suddenly bent and a hook groove is provided. Further, the sliding resistance by the inner peripheral surface of the hooking groove can be applied to the connecting material more stably. Furthermore, if the resistance part is placed in the path of the game ball from the ball tray to the launcher's launch rail, it is possible to suppress the feeding out of the connecting material in an invisible area that enters the pachinko gaming machine from the ball tray. Therefore, it is difficult for the fraudster to grasp the cause and the reason for suppressing the feeding of the connecting material, and therefore, the willingness of the fraudulent person to repeat the fraud can be effectively cut off.

<Explanation of Claim 5>
Further, if the bent passage portion is configured to move the game ball launched into the game area on the outer passage surface side, the resistance portion arranged on the inner passage surface side of the bent passage portion is connected to be drawn out. A friction resistance portion that contacts the material so as to apply a friction resistance may be provided. That is, in the bent passage portion having such a configuration, the game ball itself that is launched into the game area is moved on the outer passage surface side and is moved to the friction resistance portion arranged on the inner passage surface side of the bent passage portion. Since it is not in contact, a game ball in a normal game without a connecting member can be launched into the game area without decelerating and without any trouble. And since the connection material itself pulled by the game ball is pressed against the frictional resistance portion in a tensioned state, it is accurately decelerated by receiving the frictional resistance.

<Explanation of Claim 6>
In this case, for example, the frictional resistance portion can be disposed on the inner rail portion of the rail portion configured to include an outer rail portion and an inner rail portion that guide the game ball to the game area.

<Explanation of Claim 7>
Also, in this case, the frictional resistance part can be provided with fine irregularities or an elastically deforming part that is elastically deformed to increase the dynamic frictional resistance. However, from the viewpoint of not adhering dust, contact with the connecting material It is desirable to provide an elastically deforming portion that is sometimes elastically deformed.

<Explanation of Claim 8>
Furthermore, in the pachinko gaming machine according to the present invention, the rail portion that guides the game ball launched from the launching device to the game area is configured to include an outer rail portion and an inner rail portion, and at the lower end of the outer rail portion, In the case where the inflow port connected to the return path to the ball receiving tray of the game ball is arranged and configured, the resistance portion is arranged on the peripheral edge of the inflow port and away from the launching device. Also good.

  In such a configuration, when the game ball launched from the launch device passes through the rail part, the game ball becomes a curved movement guided to the outer rail part of the rail part from the linear movement to the rail part, The connecting material pulled by the game ball is also fed out while being swung to the outer rail portion side by centrifugal force. Then, the connecting member that is swung out toward the outer rail portion side smoothly contacts the resistance portion on the side away from the launching device at the periphery of the inflow port that is connected to the return passage, and resists from the resistance portion due to inertial force. (Friction resistance, drag resistance, etc.) are applied and decelerated. As a result, the resistance portion provided on the periphery of the inflow port of the return passage can reduce the speed of the connecting material and prevent the game ball from being launched into the game area. In addition, the inflow port of the return passage is arranged so that the game ball that has not been launched into the game area flows down the rail portion and returns to the ball receiving tray side, and the peripheral edge of the inflow port itself is The game ball heading toward the game area is arranged so as not to decelerate. For this reason, the resistance portion arranged at the periphery of the inlet on the return passage side is unlikely to come into contact with the game ball moving toward the game area, and without slowing down the game ball during normal game without a connecting material , You can launch into the game area without any trouble.

<Explanation of Claim 9>
In this case, the resistance portion provided on the periphery of the inlet of the return passage can be configured to include a hooking projection for hooking the fed connection material. In such a configuration, even if the connecting material is pulled by the game ball, it is pulled out by being hooked on the hooking protrusion and bent at the portion of the hooking protrusion, and sliding resistance (dynamic friction) from the hooking protrusion. Resistance) or a resistance that can be applied to the brakes suddenly to be braked and decelerated. As a result, the game ball is prevented from being launched into the game area.

  In addition, if the hooking projection as such a resistance part can be arranged at a position where contact with the game ball itself can be suppressed and contact with the connecting material to be fed out, it is possible to extend from the ball tray to the game area. It is also possible to place the game balls on the inner passage surface side in the curved passage portion of the game ball and hook the connected connecting material so that braking is suddenly applied.

  In addition, in order to increase the sliding resistance of the hooking protrusions or prevent the hooking protrusions from coming off, the contact surface of the hooking protrusions with the connecting material is made of an elastic covering layer such as fine irregularities or rubber that increases the frictional resistance. A frictional resistance increasing surface portion such as the above may be provided.

<Explanation of Claim 10>
In the pachinko gaming machine according to the present invention, if the member provided with the resistance portion is a detachable replacement part, the existing pachinko gaming machine can be replaced and the part provided with the resistance portion can be attached. Thus, it is possible to easily take measures against fraud by using a game ball with a connecting material. Examples of such replacement parts include a ball feeding device that sends a game ball from the ball tray to the launching device.

  Of course, a member provided with a resistance portion or the resistance portion itself may be provided in the pachinko gaming machine without using a replacement part as described above.

  Therefore, in the pachinko gaming machine according to the present invention, even if it is intended to use a game ball with a connecting material, it is possible to prevent an illegal operation within the game area of the game ball using the connecting material as a simple configuration.

A resistance component 90 provided with a resistance portion SR1 is disposed on the passage surface IF side. As shown in FIGS. 7 to 13, the resistance component 90 is made of a synthetic resin such as polypropylene, and has a triangular plate-like mounting seat 91 that is fixed to the bottom wall 80, a guide wall 92, a columnar portion 93, It is configured with. An attachment hole 91 a for attaching the resistance component 90 to the bottom wall 80 and a positioning protrusion 91 b that fits into the positioning hole 85 of the bottom wall 80 are disposed in the attachment seat 91. When the resistance component 90 is attached, a screw 87 is used, and an attachment hole 84 for screwing the screw 87 is formed on the bottom wall 80 side.

  The guide wall 92 is disposed so as to extend upward from the front edge side of the mounting seat 91, and the game ball B that passes through the lower side of the regulation flange portion 73 of the feed member 70 rolls leftward on the bottom wall 80. I will guide you.

  The columnar portion 93 is formed in a triangular column shape at the left end of the guide wall 92 so as to extend upward from the mounting seat 91. In the corner portion 94 on the passage surface IF side of the columnar portion 93, three groove portions 96 (96A, 96B, 96C) are formed vertically.

  Each groove portion 96 constitutes the resistance portion SR1, and along the moving direction of rolling on the bottom wall 80 of the game ball B, in other words, along the bottom wall 80, from the front side to the rear side. The wall portions 98 and 99 are formed so as to extend and face each other in the vertical direction across the recessed bottom portion 97. In addition, the direction in which each groove part 96 is formed is formed along the moving direction of the game ball B passing through the curved passage part LR, and the game ball B with the connecting material S is rolled by the game ball B. If the rolling material rolls on the bottom wall 80 so as to turn around the corner portion 94 (the reversing portion 79a) from the upstream inlet port 78, and reaches the downstream downstream port 82, the connecting material S becomes the inlet port 78. The connecting material S extends to coincide with the moving direction in which the game ball B rolls. Therefore, the connecting material S that is in a tension state is straight along the groove portion 96 and easily enters the entire area in the groove portion 96.

  Each groove portion 96 is formed to be relatively inclined with respect to each other so that the opposing surfaces 98a and 99a of the opposing wall portions 98 and 99 are narrowed from the opening 96a side to the bottom portion 97 side. That is, each groove portion 96 is formed so that the opening width in the vertical direction of the opening 96a is narrowed toward the bottom portion 97 side. Furthermore, in the resistance portion SR1 of the embodiment, at the bottom portion 97, at least one of the opposing surfaces 98a and 99a is recessed to form a hooking groove 100 that widens the vertical width (FIG. 9). reference).

  In the case of the embodiment, the opposing wall 99 on the lower side of the upper groove portions 96A and 96B has the bottom 97 side of the opposing surface 99a recessed downward to form the hooking groove 100. In addition, the opposing wall portions 98 and 99 facing each other at the lower end groove portion 96C form a hooking groove 100 by denting the bottom 97 side of the opposing surfaces 98a and 99a upward and downward.

  And in resistance part SR1 of 1st Embodiment, the opposing wall part 98,99 side which provided the hooking groove | channel 100 of each groove part 96 opened the clearance gap h which accommodates the connection material S between the bottom parts 97, and let it out. A hooking protrusion (hooking protrusion) 102 is formed to hook the connecting material S to be bent. The surface of the hooking protrusion 102 that faces the bottom surface 97 a of the bottom 97 serves as a hooking surface 103 that restricts the movement of the groove 96 in the connecting member S that has entered the hooking groove 100 toward the opening 96 a. The hooking surface 103 is formed in parallel with the direction in which the groove 96 is formed.

  In the ball feeding device 60 provided with the resistance portion SR1 of the first embodiment, the cheating person operates the handle 48 to move the game ball B with the connecting material S to the rolling path 45 of the ball tray 44. When it is made to flow into the ball feeding device 60 through the discharge port 46 and to be driven out from the launching device 30 to the game area 12 through the rail portion 8, in the region of the ball feeding device 60, FIG. The behavior is as shown in FIG.

  That is, the game ball B with the connecting material S flows from the discharge port 46 through the inflow port 78 to the rolling path 79 of the guide rail member 77 due to the left and right swing of the feed member 70, It passes under 73 and reaches the vicinity of the resistance component 90 (refer to the two-dot chain line in FIG. 11A to FIG. 13A). Thereafter, the game ball B rolls further, passes through the reversing part 79a, and attempts to flow down from the flow down port 82 onto the firing rail 35 of the launching device 30 (A and B in FIG. 12, B in FIG. 13). (See the solid line).

  Thereafter, the game ball B flows down onto the launch rail 35 and is launched into the launch passage 34 by hitting the hitting portion 32b of the launcher 32 of the launcher 30 (see FIG. 14).

  At that time, the connecting material S extending from the game ball B enters one of the groove portions 96 of the resistance component 90, is further guided to the bottom 97 side of the groove portion 96, enters the hooking groove 100, and is hooked. It is fed out while being hooked on 102 and bent. That is, the connecting material S connected to the game ball B comes into contact with the inner peripheral surface 101 of the hooking groove 100 of the resistance portion SR1, and is subjected to sliding resistance (dynamic friction resistance), thereby reducing the speed. When the speed of the connecting material S is reduced, the connecting material S brakes the movement of the game ball B, and the game ball B is prevented from being launched into the game area 12. The game ball B, which is prevented from being launched into the game area 12, flows down the rail portion 8, enters the return passage 54 from the inlet 54a, and is returned to the ball tray 44 side.

  Further, the hooking groove 100 of the resistance portion SR1 is located at a position where the contact with the game ball B itself moving from the ball tray 44 toward the game area 12 can be suppressed, that is, a curved passage portion LR where the game ball B contacts. Since it is arranged on the side of the passage surface OF on the outer side, in other words, on the side of the side wall 81 of the guide rail member 77 and on the side of the passage surface IF on the opposite side of the curved passage portion LR, the connecting material S is attached. The game ball B that has not been played can be allowed to be launched into the game area 12, the speed at which the game ball B is launched into the game area 12 during normal game play is not reduced, and the game ball B during normal game play without any problems. The area 12 can be launched.

  Furthermore, in the pachinko gaming machine 1 according to the first embodiment, the resistance portion SR1 is simply disposed together with the resistance component 90 at a position where the contact with the game ball B itself can be suppressed and the connection material S to be fed out can be contacted. Thus, it is possible to prevent the game ball B with the connecting material S from being launched into the game area 12, and to prevent unauthorized operation of the game ball B using the connecting material S with a simple configuration.

  Therefore, in the resistance part (feed-out resistance part) SR1 of the pachinko gaming machine 1 according to the first embodiment, a game ball using the connection material S as a simple structure even if the game ball B with the connection material S is used. Unauthorized operation in the game area 12 of B can be prevented.

  Furthermore, in the first embodiment, as described above, the hooking groove 100 of the resistance portion SR1 is arranged on the inner passage surface IF side in the curved passage portion LR, and is connected to the moving game ball B. The connecting material S that is fed out can be pressed against the inner peripheral surface 101 (the surface 97a of the bottom 97 or the hooking surface 103) of the hooking groove 100 in a tensioned state, and a large sliding resistance is applied to the connecting material S. easy. On the other hand, the passing game ball B simply passes through the outer passage surface OF side because the game ball B passes through the outer passage surface OF side, so that the resistance portion SR1 passes therethrough. It is difficult to apply contact resistance that decelerates the moving game ball B itself. Therefore, in such a configuration, it is possible to smoothly brake the connecting material S and launch the game ball B during normal game to the game area 12.

  In particular, in the first embodiment, the resistance portion SR1 has an opening width that prevents the game ball B from entering the connecting material S that extends along the moving direction of the game ball B passing through the curved passage portion LR and is fed out. A groove portion 96 having a narrow bottom that can be guided to the bottom portion 67 side, and a groove portion 96 that is disposed on the bottom portion 97 side so as to widen the opening width and can be hooked on the connecting material S guided to the bottom portion 97 side. Thus, a hooking groove 100 capable of restricting the movement of the groove portion 96 on the opening 96a side is provided.

  Therefore, when the connecting material S is pulled and tensioned by the game ball B, it is smoothly guided from the opening 96a of the groove portion 96 of the resistance portion SR1 to the bottom portion 97 of the groove portion 96, and then into the hooking groove 100. enter in. After that, even if the connecting material S is pulled by the game ball B, the connecting material S is not detached from the groove portion 96, but is subjected to sliding resistance on the inner peripheral surface 101 of the hooking groove 100 and is stably decelerated. In particular, even when the connecting material S is pulled by the game ball B and is pulled out in the direction away from the groove portion 96, the connecting material S has sliding resistance on the hooking surface 103 facing the bottom portion 97 of the hooking groove 100. The connecting member S can be decelerated stably by sliding on the bottom surface 97a side of the bottom portion 97 or sliding on the hooking surface 103 side in the opposite direction.

  In addition, the hook groove 100 is arranged on the bottom 97 side of the groove portion 96 where the game ball B cannot enter, so that it does not come into contact with the game ball B in a state of being decelerated, and the connecting material S is attached. It is possible to launch a game ball B during normal game without any trouble into the game area 12.

  In order to increase the sliding resistance with the connecting material S, the contact surface with the connecting material S in the groove portion 96 (the entire area on the bottom surface 97a side including the inner peripheral surface 101 of the hooking groove 100) 105 includes: As shown in the modification of FIG. 9C and the modification of FIG. 10C, fine unevenness that increases the frictional resistance (dynamic frictional resistance) and the frictional resistance increasing surface portion 106 made of an elastic coating layer such as rubber may be provided. Incidentally, in the case of the illustrated example, the frictional resistance increasing surface portion 106 is formed of an elastic coating layer made of urethane rubber or the like.

  Of course, in order to increase the sliding resistance between the resistance component 90 itself and the connecting material S, the resistance component 90 itself has a shape retaining property capable of maintaining the shape of the groove portion 96 and the like, and rubber such as urethane or synthetic resin. You may form from elastic materials, such as resin.

  Further, in the first embodiment, the resistance portion SR1 is disposed at a portion of the ball feeding device 60 that becomes a passage from the ball receiving tray 44 to the firing rail 35 of the launching device 30. Therefore, the path of the game ball B after passing through the resistance portion SR1 becomes a path to be launched on the launch rail 35, and the moving direction of the game ball B is suddenly bent. However, since the resistance portion SR1 includes the hooking groove 100, the resistance portion SR1 can stably hold the connecting material S on the hooking surface 103 side, and can be stably attached to the connecting material S. The sliding resistance by the peripheral surface 101 can be applied. Further, if the resistance portion SR1 is disposed in the path of the game ball B from the ball tray 44 to the launch rail 35 of the launcher 30, the resistor SR1 is an invisible area that enters the pachinko gaming machine 1 from the ball tray 44. Since it becomes possible to suppress the feeding of the connecting material S, it is difficult for the fraudulent to grasp the cause and reason for restraining the feeding of the connecting material S. Can be sharpened.

  Furthermore, in the first embodiment, the member provided with the resistance portion SR1 is the ball feeding device 60 that is a detachable replacement part. In the existing pachinko gaming machine, the component is replaced with the resistance portion SR1 ( The ball feeding device) 60 can be attached, and it is possible to easily take measures against illegal acts by the game ball B to which the connecting material S is attached.

  In the resistance portion SR1 having the hooking groove 100 provided in the ball feeding device 60 of the first embodiment, the fed connecting material S is temporarily detached from the hooking groove 100 and detached from the groove portion 96. In this case, the game ball B suddenly increases in speed and passes through the rail portion 8, and the behavior of the game ball B at that time is as follows. After that, the game ball B hits in a zigzag manner between the outer rail portion 9 and the inner rail portion 10 to become a decelerating state, and is not driven into the game area 12 and returns to the return passage 54. It will be in a return state.

<Modification of First Embodiment>
Further, when the resistance portion SR1 is provided in the passage leading to the launching device 30, it may be provided on the inner passage surface IF side in the passage portion LR where the game ball B is bent. For example, as shown in FIGS. As shown, the ball feeding device 60 may be provided on the lower edge 88 side or the left edge 89 side of the flow-down port 82. The lower edge 88 side is the passage surface IF side inside the passage portion LR that is bent downward of the game ball B because the game ball B falls on the launch rail 35 from the flow outlet 82. Further, when the game ball B on the launch rail 35 is launched, the left edge 89 side becomes an inner passage surface IF in the passage portion LR that is bent obliquely leftward and upward from the flow-down port 82.

  The resistance portion SR1 provided on the lower edge 88 side or the left edge 89 side of the flow-down port 82 is the same as the structure in which three groove portions 96 provided with the hooking grooves 100 are provided, as in the first embodiment. is there. However, the resistance portion SR1 provided on the lower edge 88 side is provided with the hooking groove 100 recessed leftward in all three groove portions 96, and the resistance portion SR1 on the left edge 89 side is provided with three groove portions. All 96 are provided with hook grooves 100 that are recessed upward. That is, since the game ball B launched from the launching device 30 is launched obliquely in the upper left direction, the connecting material S is also pulled from the flow-down port 82 in the oblique upper left direction. Therefore, on the lower edge 88 side, the connecting material S is easily hooked by the left hooking groove 100, and on the left edge 89 side, the connecting material S is easily hooked by the upper hooking groove 100. Therefore, the hooking groove 100 is set corresponding to those states.

  Even in the resistance portion SR1 provided on the lower edge 88 side or the left edge 89 side of these flow-down ports 82, if the game ball B is launched to the rail portion 8 side with the connecting material S attached, Since it enters into the groove part 96 and the connecting material S is hooked on the hooking groove 100 of the resistance part SR1 and bent, it receives sliding resistance from the inner peripheral surface 101 of the hooking groove 100, and the speed ( (Feeding speed) can be reduced, and with a simple configuration, the game ball B can be prevented from being launched into the game area 12, the operation of the game ball can be disabled, and cheating can be prevented. In addition, the game ball B itself only touches the resistance portion SR1 provided on the lower edge 88 side or the left edge 89 side with its own weight, and is not significantly decelerated. Even if the ball B comes into contact with the resistance portion SR1 provided on the lower edge 88 side or the left edge 89 side, the ball B does not decelerate, and the game ball B in normal game is launched into the game area 12 without any trouble. .

  Of course, in the resistance portion SR1 provided on the lower edge 88 side or the left edge 89 side, fine irregularities that increase the frictional resistance (dynamic frictional resistance), rubber, etc. on the contact surface with the connecting material S in the groove 96. A frictional resistance increasing surface portion 106 (see C in FIG. 9 or C in FIG. 10) may be provided.

<Second Embodiment>
Next, the resistance portion (feeding resistance portion) SR2 of the second embodiment will be described. As shown in FIGS. 5 and 18 to 20, the resistance portion SR2 is disposed at the periphery of the inlet 54 a of the return passage 54. It is arrange | positioned in the left edge 54b side away from.

  The return path 54 is configured so that the rail portion 8 that guides the game ball B launched from the launching device 30 to the game area 12 includes the outer rail portion 9 and the inner rail portion 10. An inflow port 54a that communicates with the ball tray 44 of the game ball B is disposed at the lower end 9a of the game ball B.

  The inflow port 54a is arranged so that the game ball B that has not been launched into the game area 12 flows into the return path 54 without returning to the rolling path 2c side. Specifically, the inflow port 54a is connected to the rolling path 2c extending obliquely from the launching device 30 to the upper left side, is in a linear position, and the outer rail portion 9 of the rail portion 8 is changed from a linear shape to a curved shape. It is arranged on the side of the lower straight portion 9d near the inflection point 9c that bends. The inflow port 54a is arranged on the upper left side of the right edge 54c with an opening width in the left-right direction that allows the game ball B to flow downward on the left edge 54b side.

  The resistance portion SR2 of the second embodiment is disposed on an inverted J-shaped resistance component 110, and the resistance component 110 is formed from a metal, synthetic resin, rubber, or the like having shape retention (in the embodiment, It is attached to the left edge 54b side of the return passage 54 side at the lower end 9a of the outer rail portion 9. The resistance component 110 includes a rectangular plate-like base 111 that is attached to the left edge 54b by bonding, welding, screwing, or the like, and a hooking protrusion 112 that extends obliquely to the lower right so as to be inverted from the upper end 111a of the base 111. It is prepared for. The hooking protrusion 112 is configured by arranging a plurality of protrusions 113 that are tapered in a front-rear direction across the concave groove 114 toward the lower tip side. The hooking projection 112 has a length dimension in a range that does not hinder the inflow of the game ball B flowing into the return passage 54, and is inclined diagonally downward to the right from the upper end 111a of the base 111 in a straight line that is substantially parallel to the rolling path 2c. It is extended and arranged.

  In the resistance portion SR2 of the second embodiment, when the game ball B launched from the launching device 30 passes through the rail portion 8, the game ball B moves from the linear movement to the inflection point 9c of the rail portion 8 to the rail. The connecting material S that is guided by the curved inner peripheral surface 9b beyond the inflection point 9c in the outer rail portion 9 of the portion 8 and is pulled by the game ball B is also caused by the centrifugal force. It is drawn out while being swung to the 9 side. Then, the connecting member S that is swung out toward the outer rail portion 9 side is separated from the launching device 30 at the periphery of the inflow port 54a connected to the return passage 54 by inertial force, as shown in FIGS. The resistor SR2 on the left edge 54b side is smoothly brought into contact, and resistance (friction resistance, hooking resistance, etc.) is applied from the resistor SR2 to decelerate. As a result, the resistance portion SR2 can reduce the feeding speed of the connecting material S and prevent the game ball B from being launched into the game area 12.

  In addition, the inlet 54a of the return passage 54 is arranged so that the game ball B that has not been launched into the game area 12 flows down the rail portion 8 and returns to the ball tray 44 side. The peripheral edge itself of the inflow port 54a is arranged so as not to decelerate the game ball B itself toward the game area 12. Therefore, the resistance portion SR2 disposed at the periphery of the inflow port 54a on the return passage 54 side is difficult to contact the game ball B moving toward the game area 12, and the game ball during normal game without the connecting material S attached thereto. B can be launched into the game area 12 without decelerating and without hindrance.

  Furthermore, the resistance portion SR2 of the second embodiment is configured to include a hooking protrusion 112 that hooks the connecting material S to be drawn out by the protrusion 113. In such a configuration, the hooking protrusion 112 can be hooked so as to entangle the connecting material S at the portion of the protrusion 113 as shown in FIG. For this reason, even if the connecting material S is pulled by the game ball B, the connecting material S is drawn out in a bent state while being entangled at the portion of the protrusion 113, so that a strong sliding resistance (dynamic friction resistance) can be applied or hooked. In response to the resistance that can be applied suddenly, the vehicle is decelerated rapidly, and as a result, the launch of the game ball B into the game area 12 is accurately prevented.

  In addition, in order to increase the sliding resistance of the hooking protrusion 112 and to prevent the hooking protrusion 112 from coming off after being hooked, the contact surface of the hooking protrusion 112 with the connecting material S, that is, the tip 112a where the protrusion 113 is disposed. The outer surface may be provided with a fine unevenness that increases the frictional resistance, or a surface portion with increased frictional resistance (preferably, an elastic coating layer that hardly adheres to dust) such as an elastic coating layer such as rubber.

<Modification of Second Embodiment>
If the hooking projection as the resistance portion as in the second embodiment can be arranged at a position where the contact with the game ball itself can be suppressed and can be brought into contact with the connecting material to be fed out, the ball receiving tray 44 can move to the game area 12. The connecting material S to be drawn out may be hooked so as to be suddenly braked by being arranged on the inner side of the passage surface IF in the curved passage portion LR of the game ball to be bent.

  For example, as shown in FIGS. 10 and 15, when looking at the reversing portion 79a and the resistance portion SR1 on the left edge 89 side of the flow-down port 82, between the groove portions (concave grooves 114) 96 having an opening width that does not allow the game ball B to enter, When the connecting material S is hooked, it can be seen as a projection 113 that generates a resistance that causes the connecting material S to be braked suddenly. That is, until the game ball B with the connection material S is launched by the launching device 30, the game ball B is launched and the connection material S is vigorously fed out even if the game ball B has not entered the groove 96. At this time, if the connecting material S enters the groove 96 and is caught by the protrusion 113 or is caught by the protrusion 113 and is restricted from moving upward, the connecting material S is suddenly braked. As a result, the game ball B is decelerated in response to a resistance such that the game ball B is launched into the game area 12.

  Accordingly, the vicinity of the resistance portion SR1 of the first embodiment can act as a hooking projection 112 provided with a plurality of projection portions 113 with the concave groove 114 in between, like the resistance portion SR2 of the second embodiment. it can. When the vicinity of the resistance portion SR1 of the first embodiment is caused to act in the same manner as the resistance portion SR2 of the second embodiment, if the hook groove 100 is provided, it becomes easier to hook the connection material S. The hook groove 100 may be eliminated if the speed can be rapidly decelerated.

<Third Embodiment>
Moreover, when providing a resistance part in a rail part, you may comprise like resistance part (feeding-out resistance part) SR3 of 3rd Embodiment shown to FIGS.

  The resistance portion SR3 of the third embodiment is disposed on the inner rail portion 10 of the rail portion 8 configured to include the outer rail portion 9 and the inner rail portion 10, and in the case of the embodiment, in particular, the inner rail. It is provided in the resistance component 120 attached to the part 10. The inner rail portion 10 is formed in an outwardly bulging curve shape so as to surround the game area 12, and constitutes the inner passage surface IF side of the curved passage portion LR of the game ball B. Then, the game ball B heading for the game area 12 moves up the rail portion 8 while being in contact with the inner peripheral surface 9b of the outer rail portion 9 which becomes the outer passage surface OF of the bent passage portion LR. .

  The inner rail portion 10 has a long hole-like opening extending in the up-down direction as an opening width in the front-rear direction where the game ball B does not enter, at an intermediate portion in the front-rear direction of the portion that swells leftward from the upper end 10a. 118 is opened, and the resistance component 120 is attached to the inner peripheral surface 10 b side of the inner rail portion 10 at the periphery of the opening 118.

  The resistance component 120 is configured by assembling a sheet-like frictional resistance portion 123 to the mounting base portion 121, and mounting portions 121 c on both the front and rear sides of the mounting base portion 121 are attached to the inner peripheral surface 10 b of the inner rail portion 10. Yes.

  The sheet-like frictional resistance portion 123 is configured by projecting a large number of hooking protrusions (hooking protrusions) 125 that are elastically deformed from a flexible base portion 124, and using these two, The base portions 124a and 124a of the base portion 124 are overlapped with each other on the base portion 121a side of the mounting base portion 121 and attached to the base portion 121a side of the mounting base portion 121, and the widened tip end 124b side is respectively the tip portion of the mounting base portion 121. It is attached to the 121b side.

  The hooking protrusion 125 includes a shaft portion 126 that protrudes from the base portion 124 and a head portion 127 that is expanded at the tip of the shaft portion 126, and the head portion 127 is formed in a tapered shape. . These hooking protrusions 125 are formed so that the connecting material S meanders by the shaft portion 126 as shown in FIG. 25 when the connecting material S gets over the head 127 and enters the shaft portion 126 side. They are arranged close to each other.

  In the resistance portion SR3 configured by including the friction resistance portion 123 of the third embodiment, when the game ball B is launched from the launching device 30 and ascends the rail portion 8, as shown in FIGS. In addition, the connecting material S connected to the game ball B is pulled so as to be in contact with the entire outer peripheral side of the inner rail portion 10, so that the two friction resistance portions 123 pass through the opening 118 of the inner rail portion 10. Then, as shown in FIGS. 24A and 24B, the hooking protrusion 125 is bent and the head 127 is passed over to the shaft 126 of the hooking protrusion 125 as shown in FIGS. At this time, as shown in FIGS. 25A and 25B, the connecting material S is meandering while being bent so as to elastically deform the plurality of shaft portions 126, and enters between the shaft portions 126. Therefore, the connecting material S receives frictional resistance from the outer peripheral surfaces 126a of the plurality of shaft portions 126, and is decelerated to brake the game ball B, thereby preventing the game ball B from being launched into the game area 12. Will be.

  In addition, the game ball B itself is a normal game because the frictional resistance portion 123 constituting the resistance portion SR3 is disposed at the periphery of the opening 118 on the inner peripheral surface 10b side of the inner rail portion 10 and does not come into contact with the game ball B. The game ball B at the time can be launched into the game area 12 without any trouble.

  In addition, in the resistance portion SR3, the case where the base portion 124a side of the two sheet-like friction resistance portions 123 are arranged so as to face each other so as to form the groove portion 122 is shown. In order to suppress (prevent) the contact between B and the hooking protrusion 125, the hooking protrusion 125 is not protruded from the opening 118, and the frictional resistance portion 123 is placed on the head 127 side of the hooking protrusion 125. The outer rail portion 9 may be arranged on the inner peripheral surface 10b side of the inner rail portion 10 toward the outer rail portion 9 side.

<Fourth embodiment>
Furthermore, when providing a resistance part in an inner rail part, you may comprise like resistance part (feeding-out resistance part) SR4 of 4th Embodiment shown to FIGS. The resistance portion SR4 of the fourth embodiment is composed of a thin film-like elastically deformable film such as a urethane rubber sheet or a friction resistance portion 133 provided with a sheet-like elastic deformation portion 134.

  In the resistance portion SR4 of the fourth embodiment, the frictional resistance portion 133 having a wide surface is used as the tangent line and the linear portion extending linearly from the rolling path 2c on the arc-shaped outer peripheral surface 10c of the inner rail portion 10 is used. The contact portion 10d to be connected to the upper end 10a is provided on the portion 10e.

  That is, the rail portion 8 provided with the inner rail portion 10 is a curved passage portion LR, and the game ball B itself launched into the game area 12 is the inner peripheral surface of the outer rail portion 9 on the outer passage surface OF side. Since the friction resistance portion 133 that is moved on the 9b side and is disposed on the side of the passage surface IF inside the curved passage portion LR is not in contact, the game ball B in the normal game without the connecting material S is attached. It is possible to launch the game area 12 without decelerating without any trouble. Then, as shown in FIGS. 28A and 28B, the connecting material S itself that is pulled by the game ball B is pressed against the frictional resistance portion 133 in a tension state, so that it is accurately decelerated by receiving the frictional resistance. It will be.

  In particular, in the fourth embodiment, at the time of contact with the connecting material S that is fed, the frictional resistance is reduced by the elastically deforming portion 134 that is submerged so as to increase the contact area and is compressed and elastically deformed to increase the dynamic frictional resistance. Since the portion 133 is formed and such an elastically deformable portion 134 can be formed smoothly without having irregularities, it is possible to prevent adhesion of dust.

  Of course, if such a point is not taken into consideration, the frictional resistance portion provided with unevenness (including the case where a plurality of hooking protrusions 125 shown in FIG. 24 are provided) is provided so that the dynamic frictional resistance can be increased. You may provide in the site | part 10e.

  Note that the frictional resistance portion 133 that applies the dynamic frictional resistance to the connecting material S may be disposed on the side of the passage surface IF inside the curved passage portion LR that has almost no contact with the game ball B other than the rail portion 8. . However, in the case of providing the inner rail portion 10 as described above, since the friction resistance portion 133 can be disposed long, a large friction resistance can be applied to the connecting material S in the entire contact portion, It is possible to accurately prevent the game ball B with the connecting material S from being launched into the game area 12.

  In the case of the fourth embodiment, the sheet-like frictional resistance portion 133 constituting the elastically deformable portion 134 is disposed on the outer peripheral surface 10c side of the inner rail portion 10 and is disposed. The elastic deformation portion 134 may be provided on the inner rail portion 10 by applying or the like.
