Description

The present invention relates to a launching handle device for a pachinko gaming machine, and more particularly, to a launching handle device for a pachinko gaming machine in which the hitting strength is adjusted in accordance with the rotation angle of an operation handle biased in one direction.

As shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, the pachinko gaming machine is provided with an operation handle for performing a driving operation of the pachinko ball into the game area, and the player can enjoy the pachinko game by operating the operation handle. It is a waste. In recent years, the operation handle itself is a touch switch, and when a player grasps it with his hand, not only is a pachinko ball ready to fire, but also the rotation of this operation handle. The amount is detected by a rotation operation amount detection device, and the player can adjust the hitting strength of the pachinko ball by adjusting the rotation amount of the operation handle.

The operation handle is automatically returned to the original position by a spring or the like when the player releases the hand. In other words, in order to perform pachinko games by rotating the operation handle, it is natural that the player must rotate the operation handle by applying a force against the urging force such as a spring. During the game, in order to maintain the hitting strength selected by the player, it is necessary to continue applying a force against the urging force such as a spring.

Thus, since it is easy to get tired of maintaining the operation handle at a predetermined position during play, various mechanisms such as those proposed in Patent Document 1 and Patent Document 2 have been adopted.

Japanese Patent No. 3656722 JP 2005-125006 A

According to Patent Document 1, “It is possible to provide an operation handle of an electric pachinko machine that can prevent a player from getting tired of a hand and can play a game comfortably. Since there is no need to fix, there is also an effect of preventing such a fraud by a player so that the equipment does not hurt "(paragraphs 0010 and 0011 of Document 1). For example, “to improve the operability of the operation handle in the game” (summary) can be achieved.

However, in these operation handles of Patent Documents 1 and 2, since the internal mechanism is complicated, it is considered that the outer shape of the operation handle is inevitably large. It seems to get tired by itself. In addition, in the operation handles of these Patent Documents 1 and 2, it is considered that the mounting structure for the pachinko machine body is complicated, and it seems that the manufacturing cost of the entire pachinko machine is increased.

In addition, as described above, the operation handle in the pachinko machine is not only a touch switch, but also the rotation amount is detected by the rotation operation amount detection device, and the player can determine the hitting strength of the pachinko ball. This can be done by adjusting the amount of rotation of the operation handle. For this reason, a player who wants to play a pachinko game does not need to perform a further rotation operation after the adjustment of the rotation amount. However, since the operation handle itself is a touch switch, it cannot be released.

For this reason, the player must maintain the state in which the operation handle is held after rotating the operation handle to an appropriate position, and the biasing means for returning the operation handle to the original position. You must continue to put power against the urging force of. This means
It is painful for the player, and if possible, it would be desirable to only touch the operation handle after rotating to an appropriate position.

On the other hand, the operation handle of the pachinko machine is the part that many players who are going to play pachinko games touch first, and the strength of the hitting ball can also be adjusted, so it needs to be excellent in durability. is there. Further, as described above, since the operation handle is the one that the player wants to play with most, such as inserting a coin, there is also a side that is easily damaged. Since the operation handle is a basic part of the pachinko machine and can be used in common regardless of the model, it needs to be easily manufactured.

Therefore, the present inventors have only to touch a part of this type of operation handle after rotating it to an appropriate position, and how to make it easy to manufacture with excellent durability. The present invention has been completed as a result of various studies on whether or not it is good.

That is, the first object of the present invention is that after a player who wants to play a pachinko game has rotated the operating handle to an appropriate position, the operation handle at that position is partially lightly braked. It is not necessary to apply force to fix the operation handle while pachinko is continuing, and it is possible to return the operation handle to its original position simply by releasing the hand. The aim is to provide a firing handle device for a good pachinko machine.

A second object of the present invention is to provide a firing handle device that is not only excellent in durability but also easy to manufacture and excellent in versatility.

In the first means for solving the above-described problems, the handle support body is rotatably disposed at the front portion, and returns to the original position by the urging force of its own urging means when the player does not perform the rotation operation. And a launching handle device for a pachinko gaming machine provided with an operating handle that rotates when a player attempting to play a pachinko game is rotated against the biasing force, and is disposed at a front end portion of the handle support body. And a transmission means provided with a braking unit that tilts when the operation unit is operated and brakes the operation handle, so that a player who wants to play a pachinko game rotates the operation handle. Then, when it is intended to stop at an appropriate position, the operation unit is operated by the player.

In the launching handle device according to the means 1, the operating part that attempts to return to the original position by the urging force of its urging means is braked by the braking unit.
The braking unit is operated by the operation unit operated regardless of the player's consciousness / unconsciousness when a player who is going to play a pachinko game tries to stop the operation handle by rotating the operation handle. It is something to be made.

The operation unit is operated regardless of whether or not the player is conscious because the operation unit is arranged at the front end of the handle support body. That is, when the player intends to rotate the operation handle to stop at an appropriate position, in order to stabilize the position of the hand or rest the body, a hand is placed on the front end of the firing handle device. Although the player puts or puts weight on the player, the player naturally operates the operation unit by providing the operation unit at the front end.

In other words, the operation of the operation unit itself is performed by the player regardless of whether or not the player who rotates the operation handle to play a game is not aware of it. And since the operation of this operation part is transmitted to the transmission mechanism, and the operation handle is braked at an appropriate position by the braking part of the transmission mechanism, the operability of the launching handle device itself is very good. It has become.

As described above, when a player who is going to play a pachinko game tries to stop the operation handle by rotating the operation handle, the operation unit is operated regardless of whether the player is conscious or unconscious. At this time, the transmission means tilts. Since the transmission means is provided with a braking portion for braking the operation handle, the operation handle is braked, and the operation handle is moved to the original position depending on the urging force of the urging means. It will not return.

Therefore, in the launching handle device of this means 1, when a player who is going to play a pachinko game tries to stop the operation handle by rotating the operation handle to the appropriate position, the braking portion returns to the original position of the operation handle. Since the brake is applied to the return, the player does not need to fix the operation handle after the rotation operation to an appropriate position, and it is not only necessary to attach the hand without applying force, and the operation unit However, since the player is operated regardless of the player's consciousness / unconsciousness, the operability is also improved.

In addition, the means 2 for solving the above-mentioned problem is that the launching handle device of the pachinko gaming machine according to the means 1 described above is configured such that the operation unit and the transmission means are tiltably connected to a part of the handle support body. The transmission means and the operation unit are engaged.

A force is applied to the operation unit by the player when the player who is going to play a pachinko game tries to stop the operation handle by rotating the operation handle, that is, the player When the user wants to rest his / her hand or body, the player applies a force to the entire operation unit or the entire firing handle device by the player's hand or weight regardless of the player's consciousness / unconsciousness.

As described above, when a force is applied to the operation unit by the player, the operation unit tilts. However, since this tilting can be easily performed using a pivot, the launching handle device The entire structure can be simplified.

In particular, when the tilting direction is downward, for example, when a player leans on the launching handle device to rest his / her hand or body, that is, he often pulls out the power of his / her hand or applies weight. Since the operation part can naturally receive the downward force or gravity, the operation part can be operated automatically or naturally.

The tilted operation part operates the braking part via the transmission means, and even if the player loosens the force applied to the operation handle, the braking part applies braking to the operation handle. Thus, the operation handle does not return to the original position by the urging force of the urging means.

Therefore, the launching handle device according to the means 2 exhibits the same function as that of the means 1 and tilts the operation portion, so that the configuration can be further simplified.

Further, the means 3 for solving the above-mentioned problem is that the attachment member is tiltably connected to the inside of a part of the handle support main body of the launching handle device of the pachinko gaming machine according to the means 1, and the attachment The operation unit is attached to the member from the outside of a part of the handle support body.

In this means 3, since the mounting member is tiltably connected to a part of the handle support body, that is, inside the portion that does not move even if the operation handle is rotated, the mounting member and the tiltable connecting portion thereof. Is protected by a part of the handle support body and is not affected at all by the operation of the launch handle device by the player.

In addition, since the operation unit disposed at the front end portion of the handle support body is attached to the attachment member from the outside of a part of the handle support body, the operation unit is a part of the handle support body. It is possible to tilt with respect to. In addition, since the connecting portion of the operation portion that can be tilted with respect to a part of the handle support main body is protected by the part of the handle support main body as described above, The operation of the handle device is not affected at all.

In other words, since the operation portion is disposed at the front end portion of the handle support body, the operation portion and the handle support body can be provided as long as the operation portion is tiltably connected to a part of the handle support body. There is a gap for tilting between the front end portion and the front end, but this gap can be easily closed by the mounting member. As a result, even if an illegal act is attempted from the gap between the operation portion and the front end portion of the handle support main body, it cannot be performed because of being blocked by the mounting member.

Furthermore, the presence of the mounting member enables the operation unit to be connected to the front end portion of the handle support main body not from the handle support main body but from the inside of the handle support main body. Yes. That is, the connection for the arrangement of the operation part to be operated by the player with respect to the front end part of the handle support body is performed by a screw, when there is no attachment member, from the outside of the front end part of the handle support body. Although this must be done, the presence of the mounting member allows it to be done from the inside of the handle support body and does not expose the screw to the exterior of the firing handle device.

Therefore, the launching handle device according to the means 3 exhibits the same function as that of the above-mentioned claim 1 and does not need to expose a fixing means such as a screw in the surroundings. It is not exposed to the outer periphery of the handle device.

And the means 4 for solving the above-mentioned problem is that the launching handle device of the pachinko gaming machine of the means 3 is fixedly arranged with a tiltable connection of the mounting member at the front end of the handle support body. This is performed on the connecting plate, and the transmission means is connected to the connecting plate so as to be tiltable.

First, in this means 4, a connecting plate is fixedly arranged at the front end portion of the handle support body. This connecting plate is fixedly arranged at the front end portion of the handle support body. Therefore, it is not rotated by the rotation operation of the operation handle. The connecting plate is fixed without being affected by the tilting of the operation portion.

On the other hand, a mounting member is tiltably connected to the inside of a part of the handle support body,
Since the operation part was attached to the attachment member from the outside of a part of the handle support body,
The operating portion is tilted together with the mounting member, but the tilting of the mounting member integral with the operating portion does not affect the connecting plate.

As a result of the above, the tilt of the operation portion is directly converted into the tilt of the mounting member, and the mounting member and the operation portion are integrally tilted with respect to the connecting plate. If there is something that tilts, a situation is established in which the tilt of the operating portion can be directly transmitted to the member on the connecting plate side.

Therefore, in this means 4, the transmission means is connected to the connecting plate so as to be tiltable. By this, the tilt of the operation portion can be directly transmitted to the transmitting means on the connecting plate side. It is.

In addition, when the above is viewed with the connecting plate as the center, an attachment member integrated with an operation unit is tiltably assembled to the connecting plate, and the transmission means can be tilted to the connecting plate itself. Since the transmission means includes a braking portion, the important parts of the launching handle device according to the present invention can be integrated together with the connection plate as a center. That is, the connecting plate of the means 4 can be a “unit” in which all of the operating part, the attaching member for attaching the operating part, and the transmission means including the braking part are integrated.

More specifically, the launching handle can be obtained by attaching a connecting plate that integrates all of the operating unit, the mounting member for mounting the operating unit, and the transmission means including the braking unit to the front end of the handle support body. The apparatus can be simply configured, and not only can the firing handle device be easily manufactured by unitization, but also the cost for manufacturing the firing handle device can be reduced. Of course, this type of launching handle device can be adopted for a model having a different pachinko game content regardless of the game content, and therefore has excellent versatility.

Therefore, according to the launching handle device according to the means 4, not only the same function as the means 3 is exhibited, but also the important parts group can be unitized and easily manufactured, and the versatility is also improved. There is a low cost.

As described above, in the present invention,
“It is rotatably arranged at the front part of the handle support body, and when the player does not rotate it, it returns to its original position by the urging force of its urging means, and the urging force by the player who is going to play a pachinko game A launching handle device of a pachinko machine equipped with an operating handle that rotates when a rotating operation is performed against
An operation portion arranged at the front end portion of the handle support body and a transmission means provided with a braking portion that tilts when the operation portion is operated and brakes the operation handle are provided to perform a pachinko game. When the player attempts to rotate the operation handle to stop at an appropriate position, the operation unit is operated by the player,
Even if the player loosens the force applied to the operation handle while the pachinko game is continued, the operation unit operates to brake the operation handle by the brake unit, and the operation handle is operated by the biasing means. It was decided not to return to the original position depending on the urging force. ''
Therefore, after a player who wants to play a pachinko game has rotated the operating handle to an appropriate position, the operating handle is braked at that position. While the pachinko game continues, it is not necessary to apply force to fix the operation handle, and it is possible to return the operation handle to the original position simply by releasing the hand, and it is easy to operate. A launch handle device for the aircraft can be provided.

Further, according to the present invention, it is possible to provide a launching handle device that is not only excellent in durability but also easily manufactured and excellent in versatility.

Next, the invention according to each claim configured as described above will be described with respect to the firing handle device 100 according to the embodiment shown in the drawings. The firing handle device 100 according to this embodiment will be described.
Since there are Example 1 shown in FIGS. 2 to 10, Example 2 shown in FIGS. 11 to 15, and Example 3 shown in FIGS. explain. Further, before describing these embodiments individually, matters common to these embodiments will be described first.

First, FIG. 1 shows a pachinko machine 200 in which a launching handle device 100 according to the present invention is employed.
Is shown on the outermost surface of the pachinko machine 200, that is, on the lower right of the front frame 210 facing the surface of the player of the pachinko game, the launch handle device 100 according to the present invention.
Is attached. When viewed from the player side, the firing handle device 100 can be seen in a state in which a handle cap 60 is visible in the front, and a finger hook 31 of the operation handle 30 protrudes around the handle cap 60 as shown in FIG. appear.

Therefore, when a player who wants to play a pachinko game has the firing handle device 100 so as to wrap the handle cap 60, the finger is naturally hooked on each finger grip 31, and the operation handle 3
A zero rotation operation can be performed.

Note that this type of launching handle device 100 includes an operation handle 3 as shown in FIG.
A stop button 30a is arranged at a position where it can be operated with the thumb of a hand holding 0, and when the stop button 30a is pushed, a signal from a touch switch or a rotation operation amount detector 70 is not shown. This makes it possible to stop the launch of pachinko balls during pachinko games.

As shown in FIG. 2 (in the case of Example 1 to be described later), FIG. 11 (in the case of Example 2 to be described later), and FIG. 16 (in the case of Example 3 to be described later), Frame 21
0 has a handle support main body 10 attached to the front surface of 0, and the back side of the handle support main body 10 has a front frame 210 as shown in FIG. 8, FIG. 15, FIG.
It is fixed to the front frame 210 by mounting screws 17 attached from the back side.

Further, in the handle support body 10, as shown in FIGS. 8, 15, and 22,
The rotation operation amount detector 70 is incorporated, and this rotation operation amount detector 70 detects the rotation amount of the operation handle 30 via the transmission gear 71 and the like, and a pachinko ball launching device (not shown). Is determined according to the amount of rotation of the operation handle 30. A pachinko ball launching device (not shown) has a hitting strength preferred by the player based on a signal from the rotational operation amount detector 70 and a signal from a “touch switch” provided at or near the operation handle 30 itself. A pachinko ball can be launched into the game board surface of the pachinko machine 200.

With respect to the handle support body 10 attached to the front frame 210, the aforementioned operation handle 30 is rotatably assembled via the attachment member 20 as shown in FIGS. The urging spring 32 (the urging means described in the claims) disposed on the mounting member 20 can always return to the original position when the player releases the operation handle 30. It is.

The player rotates the operation handle 30 to adjust the hitting strength of the pachinko ball. As described above, in the shooting handle device 100, the rotation amount of the operation handle 30 is detected by the rotation operation amount detector 70, and the hitting strength of the shooting device is adjusted by this detection amount. The person rotates the operation handle 30 to find a hitting strength preferred by the user, and stops the rotation of the operation handle 30 at an appropriate position. However, since the urging force from the urging spring 32 is always applied to the operation handle 30, the operation handle 30 returns to the original position when the player releases the hand from the operation handle 30. Therefore, when the player rotates the operation handle 30 to an appropriate position, the player either holds the operation handle 30 or tries to fix the operation handle 30 with a coin or the like.

As shown in FIGS. 5, 13, and 20, the operation handle 30 has a through hole 3.
3 is formed, and in this through hole 33, a spring hook 16 and positioning 1 described below are provided.
5 is inserted. In particular, in each embodiment to be described later, two positioning 15 are prepared. For example, the first positioning 15 determines the original position, and the second positioning 15 determines the maximum rotational position. There is something to do.

The operation handle 30 is rotatably supported by the mounting member 20 at the front portion of the handle support body 10, but the front thereof is protected by the connection plate 12, and the connection plate 12 is protected by the handle support body 10. It is attached to and does not rotate. That is, as shown in FIG. 8, FIG. 15, and FIG. 22, the connecting plate 12 has two positioning portions 15 and one spring hook 16 protruding on the back side thereof. For example, as shown in FIG. 17B, the fixing screw 18 is attached to the front surface of the handle support body 10 by attaching the fixing screw 18 to the front surface of the handle support body 10. is there. At this time, the operation handle 30 is rotatably incorporated between the handle support body 10 and the connecting plate 12.

As shown in FIGS. 5, 13, and 19, the positioning 15 and the spring hook 16 are housed in the holes formed in the operation handle 30, so that the rotation range of the operation handle 30 can be reduced. The urging spring 32 described above is to be regulated.
One end is locked. The other end of the urging spring 32 is generally the operation handle 30.
As a result, an urging force by the urging spring 32 to the operation handle 30, that is, a force that the operation handle 30 always returns to a predetermined position of the handle support body 10 is generated.

And on the outside of the connecting plate 12 on which the above positioning 15 and spring hook 16 are formed, FIG.
As shown in FIGS. 13 and 19, the handle cover 11 is fixed. As a result, the inner support plate 12 and the outer handle cover 11 are integrated with the handle support main body 10 so as not to rotate. However, the operation handle 30 is connected to the handle support main body 10 and the connection plate 12. Thus, the player can rotate the operation handle 30 against the urging force of the urging spring 32. Of course, as described above, when the player releases his / her hand from the operation handle 30, the operation handle 30 returns to the original position by the urging force of the urging spring 32.
