(Description of game ball flow path)
Here, the game ball channel 30 which is a main part of the present invention will be described in detail based on FIGS. 4 to 6.
FIG. 4 is an explanatory diagram schematically showing the flow-down mode of the game ball P in the game ball channel 30 while showing the game ball channel 30 from the front. FIG. 5 is an explanatory perspective view showing the front side of the game ball channel 30. FIG. 6 is an explanatory view showing a cross section taken along line LL in FIG.

  The game ball channel 30 is a member disposed from the upper left part of the center member 26 (near the position where the game ball P enters the game area 16) to the center left part of the center member 26 (center left part of the game area 16). The front side of the back plate portion 31 formed in a flat plate shape extending in the flow direction of the game ball (here, substantially vertical direction) is the flow space of the game ball P. The upper side of the back plate portion 31 functions as the buffer portion 32, and from the center to the lower side functions as the flow path portion 33. Further, along the right edge of the back plate portion 31, the side wall 34 is erected to the front side to prevent the game ball P from entering the effect display unit 6 and to stabilize the flow direction of the game ball P. Is provided. The side wall 34 is integrally formed with the back plate portion 31, and the surface on the inner side of the back plate portion 31 at the base end portion of the side wall 34 is gradually increased in thickness toward the base end side. A curved surface 34A. In addition, on the outer surface of the back plate portion 31 of the side wall 34, screwing portions 35 and 35 for fixing the game ball channel 30 to the center member 26 are provided. Furthermore, the lower end portion of the side wall 34 bulges greatly to the right side (inside the game area 16), and then a substantially horizontal plane (strictly, a slightly lower left plane) extends to the left side. A space on the back plate portion 31 surrounded by the bulging portion and the plane functions as a receiving portion 50 that temporarily receives the game ball P that has flowed down. On the other hand, fixing holes 36, 36,... For screwing the game ball channel 30 to the surface of the game board 2 are formed in the left side edge of the back plate 31.

  The buffer portion 32 is for reducing the momentum when the game ball P driven into the game area 16 first collides with the buffer portion 32. Buffers 37A, 37B, and 37C are provided. All of the three buffer bodies 37A, 37B, and 37C are located above the tip of the launch passage 13 and on the left side of the back plate portion 31, and the three buffer bodies 37A, 37B, 37C and the side wall 34 An upper flow path 39 through which the game ball P can flow is formed between them. Further, the first buffer body 37 </ b> A is located at the position farthest from the tip of the launch passage 13, and the third buffer body 37 </ b> C is located at the position closest to the tip of the launch path 13. Further, the second buffer 37B is located between the first buffer 37A and the third buffer 37C (between in the vertical direction). Then, between the first buffer 37A and the second buffer 37B, between the second buffer 37B and the third buffer 37C, and below the third buffer 37C, described later. A gap 38 through which the game ball P can pass is formed at a position between the first long cylindrical body 40A. Therefore, most of the game balls P driven into the game area 16 collide with any of the three buffer bodies 37A, 37B, and 37C, and then go to the upper flow path 39 and the flow path section 33 side through the gap 38. That is, the player enters the game ball channel 30. The three buffer bodies 37A, 37B, and 37C are integrally formed with the back plate portion 31.

  On the other hand, the flow path portion 33 is provided to make the flow direction of the game ball P diverse, and to stabilize the flow direction of the game ball P to some extent, and is formed in an oval shape when viewed from the front. It has three long cylindrical bodies 40A, 40B, 40C, a triangular prism body 41 formed in a triangular shape in front view, and a plurality of cylindrical bodies 42, 42,. Of these pillars, the cylindrical bodies (long cylindrical body and cylindrical body) excluding the triangular prism body 41 are in a direction (substantially lower left direction) in which the game ball P wants to flow down to a substantially middle portion in the left-right direction of the back plate portion 31. Are arranged along the line. The first lower flow path 43 through which the game ball P can flow between the column and the side wall 34 is the second lower flow through which the game ball P can flow between the column and the inner rail 24. Each path 44 is formed. In addition, the cylinders in the column are separated to such an extent that the game ball P can pass therethrough. Therefore, the game ball P that has reached the flow path portion 33 passes between the cylindrical bodies and goes back and forth between the first lower flow path 43 and the second lower flow path 44, but in the direction along the column. Will flow down. The three long cylindrical bodies 40 </ b> A, 40 </ b> B, 40 </ b> C, the triangular prism body 41, and the cylindrical body 42 are integrally formed with the back plate portion 31.

  The first long cylindrical body 40A is an ellipse extending in the direction in which the game ball P is desired to flow down (here, the lower left direction), and is located below the third buffer body 37C and the third It is erected at a position closest to the buffer body 37C. Therefore, most of the game balls P that have flowed into the flow path portion 33 from the buffer portion 32 first collide with the first long cylindrical body 40A. And if it collides with the side surface in the longitudinal direction of 40 A of 1st long cylindrical bodies, the flow-down direction of the game ball P will be stabilized in the direction where an ellipse extends.

  Further, the second oblong cylinder body 40B is an ellipse extending in a direction parallel to the first oblong cylinder body 40A (the lower left direction, which is the direction in which the game ball P is desired to flow down). The first elongated cylindrical body 40A is provided on the downstream side. In addition, the third long cylindrical body 40C is further provided on the downstream side of the flow path portion 33 further downstream than the second long cylindrical body 40B, and is directed to the receiving portion 50 side (right side). It is an ellipse extending in the downward direction, which is the direction in which the game ball P at that location is desired to flow down. Then, similarly to the first long cylindrical body 40A, when the game ball P collides with the side surfaces in the longitudinal direction of the second long cylindrical body 40B or the third long cylindrical body 40C, the gaming ball P moves in the direction in which the ellipse extends. It is designed to stabilize the flow direction.

  In addition, the cylindrical body 42 is a game ball between the first long cylindrical body 40A and the second long cylindrical body 40B, or between the second long cylindrical body 40B and the third long cylindrical body 40C. P is erected with an interval through which P can pass. Then, by this cylindrical body 42, the game balls P that have collided are repelled in various directions, and the flow-down mode of the game balls P is provided with diversity.

  The surfaces of the base end portions of the long cylindrical bodies 40A to 40C and the cylindrical body 42 are R surfaces 45 that gradually increase in diameter toward the base end side. The radius of the R surface 45 is smaller than the radius of the game ball P (for example, the radius of the R surface 45 is 5.0 mm with respect to the radius of the game ball P of 5.5 mm). As shown in FIG. 6, the circumferential surfaces of the long cylindrical bodies 40 </ b> A to 40 </ b> C and the cylindrical body 42 are brought into contact with the game ball P by point contact (that is, the R surface 45 and the surface of the game ball P are not in contact). It has become.

  On the other hand, the triangular prism body 41 is located on the left side edge of the flow path portion 33 (outside in the inner and outer directions of the game area 16 in the flow path portion 33) on the downstream side of the second oblong cylinder body 40B and the second oblong cylinder. It is erected at a position closest to the body 40B. Further, the triangular prism body 41 is provided in such a posture that one corner thereof projects toward the first lower flow path 43 side and into the second lower flow path 44 (that is, the triangular prism body 41 has a game area. 16 has a convex portion projecting inward in the inner and outer directions), and the game ball P flowing down the second lower flow path 44 is flipped toward the first lower flow path 43 side, and the game ball P It is designed to stabilize the flow direction.

In the game ball flow path 30 described above, the game balls flow down as follows.
First, a game ball that is driven into the game area 16 with a relatively strong launch intensity collides with the first buffer 37A and passes through a gap 38 between the first buffer 37A and the second buffer 37B. Then, it enters the upper flow path 39. In addition, the game ball that is driven into the game area 16 with a medium launch strength collides with the second buffer 37B and passes through the gap 38 between the second buffer 37B and the third buffer 37C. Etc. and enter the upper flow path 39. Then, most of the game balls that have entered the upper flow path 39 flow into the first lower flow path 43. On the other hand, the game ball that is driven into the game area 16 with a relatively weak launch strength collides with the third buffer body 37C, and creates a gap 38 between the third buffer body 37C and the first long cylindrical body 40A. It passes through the first lower flow path 43 or enters the second lower flow path 44 without passing through the gap 38. In addition, the game ball flowing down the flow path portion 33 is stabilized in the flow direction by the long cylindrical bodies 40A and 40B and the side wall 34 while going back and forth between the first lower flow path 43 and the second lower flow path 44. . Further, most of the game balls flowing down the second lower flow path 44 are guided to the first lower flow path 43 by the triangular prism body 41. And finally, it flows down to the receiving part 50 by the 3rd long cylindrical body 40C, and after the flow-down speed is considerably decelerated, it is discharged from the game ball channel 30 to the left-handed space SL.

(Effects of the pachinko machine of this embodiment)
According to the pachinko machine 1 having the above-described configuration, a plurality of long cylindrical bodies 40A to 40C and cylindrical bodies 42, 42,... Project from the surface of the back plate portion 31 of the game ball flow path 30. . Therefore, although the game ball flow path 30 is made of a synthetic resin, there are various ways in which the game balls P flow down as shown in FIG.

  In addition, the game ball flow path 30 is provided from the vicinity of the entry position of the game ball P to the game area 16 to the center left part of the game area 16, and the game that has entered the game area 16 above the game ball flow path 30. A buffer portion 32 including three buffer bodies 37A, 37B, and 37C that are assumed to collide with the ball P first is provided. Further, the flow path part 33 is provided continuously from the buffer part 32, and the front view is a game at a position below the third buffer body 37C in the flow path part 33 and closest to the third buffer body 37C. A first oval column body 40A that is formed in an oval shape extending in the flow-down direction of the sphere P is provided upright. Therefore, it is possible to install the buffer bodies 37A to 37C only by installing the game ball flow path 30, and the assembly work of the game machine is facilitated, and the game ball P flows down by the first long cylindrical body 40A. The effect that the flow-down direction of the game ball P can be stabilized to some extent while maintaining the diversity of modes can be achieved.

  Further, at the position which is further downstream in the second long cylindrical body 40B on the outer side in the inner and outer direction with respect to the game area 16 in the flow path portion 33 and on the downstream side with respect to the first long cylindrical body 40A. A triangular prism body 41 is erected in such a posture that one corner projects into the second lower flow path 44 toward the first lower flow path 43 side. That is, the game ball P that has flowed down the second lower flow path 44 is bounced toward the first lower flow path 43 side. Therefore, it can be set as the structure where many game balls P flow down the 1st lower side flow path 43, and the flow direction of the game ball P can be stabilized further by extension.

  In addition, the surfaces of the bases of the long cylindrical bodies 40A to 40C and the cylindrical body 42 are R surfaces 45 that gradually increase in diameter toward the base end side, and the radius of the R surface 45 is It is smaller than the radius of the game ball P. Therefore, since the base end portions of the long cylindrical bodies 40A to 40C and the cylindrical body 42 gradually become thicker toward the base end side, the strength of the long cylindrical bodies 40A to 40C and the cylindrical body 42 can be improved. The long cylindrical bodies 40A to 40C and the cylindrical body 42 are not easily broken, and the circumferential surfaces of the long cylindrical bodies 40A to 40C and the cylindrical body 42 and the game ball P are in point contact, and the smooth flow of the game ball is prevented. It can be expected, and it can also be made a structure in which dirt is difficult to adhere. In addition, the side wall 34 gradually increases toward the base end side with respect to the surface on the inner side of the back plate portion 31 at the base end portion of the side wall 34 erected along the right edge of the back plate portion 31. Therefore, the strength can be improved similarly.
