Description

上記目的を達成するために、本発明のうち請求項１に記載の発明は、前面に遊技球が流下可能な遊技領域を形成された遊技盤と、前記遊技領域へ遊技球を打ち込むための発射手段と、前記発射手段へ供給される遊技球を貯留可能な上皿部と、前記上皿部と排出口を介して連通しており、前記上皿部内の遊技球を排出可能な下皿部と、前記遊技領域を流下し、前記遊技盤の後側へ排出された遊技球を前記上皿部へ返却する循環部とを備えた遊技機であって、前記排出口を覆うように塞止手段が設置されており、前記塞止手段によって前記排出口に到達した遊技球を塞き止めることにより、前記排出口を介しての遊技球の前記下皿部への排出を防止可能としたことを特徴とする。
請求項２に記載の発明は、請求項１に記載の発明において、前記塞止手段が、前記排出口の周縁に固定される固定部材と、前記固定部材に対してスライド可能に取り付けられるスライド部材とを備えているとともに、前記固定部材が、遊技球が通過可能な通過口を有している一方、前記スライド部材が、前記通過口を覆って遊技球の前記通過口の通過を阻止する閉塞位置と、前記通過口を開放して遊技球の前記通過口の通過を許容する開放位置との間をスライドすることを特徴とする。
なお、請求項２に記載の発明において、前記塞止手段が、前記スライド部材の前記閉塞位置からのスライドを規制する規制機構を備えているという第１の構成を採用することも考えられる。
そして、そのような第１の構成を採用することにより、遊技者に遊技球を触れさせたくないような場合に容易に対応することができるという効果を奏することができる。
また、請求項２に記載の発明において、前記スライド部材が、前記固定部材の前面に所定方向へスライド可能に取り付けられているとともに、前記固定部材に、前記スライド部材側へ突出する舌片が設けられている一方、前記スライド部材の一方の表面に、規制突起が突設されており、前記規制突起を前側若しくは後側の何れか一方へ向けた姿勢で前記スライド部材が前記固定部材に取り付けられていると、前記閉塞位置から前記開放位置側へのスライド時に前記規制突起と前記舌片とが干渉し、前記スライド部材の前記閉塞位置からのスライドが規制される一方、前記規制突起を他方へ向けた姿勢で前記スライド部材が前記固定部材に取り付けられていると、前記閉塞位置から前記開放位置側へのスライド時に前記規制突起と前記舌片とが干渉せず、前記スライド部材が前記閉塞位置から前記開放位置へスライドするという第２の構成を採用することも考えられる。
そして、そのような第２の構成を採用することにより、上記第１の構成を採用したものと同様、遊技者に遊技球を触れさせたくないような場合に容易に対応することができるという効果を奏することができる。また、規制突起を他方へ向けた姿勢でスライド部材を固定部材に取り付けると、閉塞位置から開放位置側へのスライド時に規制突起と舌片とが干渉せず、スライド部材を閉塞位置から開放位置へスライドさせることができるため、スライド部材の固定部材に対する取付姿勢を変更するだけで、スライド部材のスライド操作に応じて遊技球を下皿部内へ排出可能とするか否かを選択することができ、使い勝手が極めて良いという効果も奏することができる。 In order to achieve the above object, the invention according to claim 1 of the present invention includes a game board having a game area in which a game ball can flow down on a front surface, and a launch for driving the game ball into the game area. Means, an upper plate part capable of storing a game ball supplied to the launching means, and a lower plate part communicating with the upper plate part via a discharge port and capable of discharging the game ball in the upper plate part And a circulating unit that flows down the game area and returns the game balls discharged to the rear side of the game board to the upper plate part, and is closed so as to cover the discharge port Means is installed, and by blocking the game ball that has reached the discharge port by the blocking means, it is possible to prevent the game ball from being discharged to the lower plate part through the discharge port. It is characterized by.
According to a second aspect of the present invention, in the first aspect of the present invention, the blocking means is a fixing member that is fixed to the periphery of the discharge port, and a sliding member that is slidably attached to the fixing member. And the fixing member has a passage through which the game ball can pass, while the slide member covers the passage and blocks the game ball from passing through the passage. It slides between a position and the open position which open | releases the said passage and accept | permits passage of the said passage of a game ball.
In the invention according to claim 2, it is conceivable to adopt a first configuration in which the blocking means includes a regulating mechanism that regulates sliding of the slide member from the closed position.
Further, by adopting such a first configuration, it is possible to achieve an effect that it is possible to easily cope with a case where it is not desired that the player touches the game ball.
The slide member is attached to the front surface of the fixed member so as to be slidable in a predetermined direction, and a tongue piece that protrudes toward the slide member is provided on the fixed member. On the other hand, a restriction projection is provided on one surface of the slide member, and the slide member is attached to the fixed member in a posture in which the restriction projection is directed to either the front side or the rear side. When the slide member slides from the closed position to the open position side, the restricting protrusion and the tongue piece interfere with each other, and the slide member is prevented from sliding from the closed position, while the restricting protrusion is moved to the other side. When the slide member is attached to the fixed member in the oriented posture, the regulating projection and the tongue piece are not moved when sliding from the closed position to the open position side. Wataruse not a, it is conceivable that the sliding member adopts a second configuration that slides into the open position from the closed position.
Then, by adopting such a second configuration, as in the case of adopting the first configuration, it is possible to easily cope with a case where the player does not want to touch the game ball. Can be played. Also, if the slide member is attached to the fixed member with the restricting projection facing the other, the restricting projection and the tongue do not interfere when sliding from the closed position to the open position, and the slide member is moved from the closed position to the open position. Since it can be slid, it is possible to select whether or not to allow the game ball to be discharged into the lower dish portion according to the slide operation of the slide member, simply by changing the mounting posture of the slide member with respect to the fixed member, There is also an effect that the usability is extremely good.

本発明によれば、排出口を覆うように塞止手段が設置されており、塞止手段によって排出口に到達した遊技球を塞き止めることにより、排出口を介しての遊技球の下皿部への排出を防止可能としている。したがって、下皿部内への不用意な遊技球の排出を防止することができ、循環に必要な遊技球が足りなくなる等の不具合が生じない。
また、請求項２に記載の発明によれば、塞止手段が、排出口の周縁に固定される固定部材と、固定部材に対してスライド可能に取り付けられるスライド部材とを備えているとともに、固定部材に、遊技球が通過可能な通過口が設けられている一方、スライド部材が、通過口を覆って遊技球の通過を阻止する閉塞位置と、通過口を開放して遊技球の通過を許容する開放位置との間をスライドするようにしている。したがって、既設の遊技機に対して塞止手段を容易に後付けすることができる上、必要に応じてスライド部材を閉塞位置から開放位置へスライドさせることにより、通過口を介して塞き止められていた遊技球を下皿部内へ排出することができ、非常に使い勝手が良い。 According to the present invention, the blocking means is installed so as to cover the discharge port, and the game ball that has reached the discharge port is blocked by the blocking means, so that the lower plate of the game ball through the discharge port is provided. It is possible to prevent discharge to the department. Therefore, inadvertent discharge of game balls into the lower plate portion can be prevented, and problems such as lack of game balls necessary for circulation do not occur.
According to the second aspect of the present invention, the blocking means includes a fixing member fixed to the periphery of the discharge port and a sliding member slidably attached to the fixing member. While the member has a passage through which the game ball can pass, the slide member covers the passage and blocks the passage of the game ball, and allows the game ball to pass by opening the passage. It slides between the open positions. Therefore, the blocking means can be easily retrofitted to the existing gaming machine, and the blocking member is blocked via the passage port by sliding the sliding member from the closed position to the open position as necessary. The game balls can be discharged into the lower plate, which is very convenient to use.
