Description

本発明は、
上皿に貯留された遊技球を通過口を介して所定の発射位置に送り出す球送りユニットと、
前記発射位置に送り出された遊技球を遊技領域に向けて一つずつ発射可能な発射部と、
前記発射部により発射された遊技球が通過する発射通路と、
を備えた遊技機であって、
前記球送りユニットには、遊技球に付された線材による不正行為を防止するための金属板材が設けられており、
前記金属板材は、直線状の分割線を境にした一方側の板面部である第１板面部と、該分割線を境にした他方側の板面部である第２板面部とを有し、前記第１板面部を前記第２板面部に対して屈曲させて、前記分割線の終点に向かって徐々に狭くなる略Ｖ字状の隙間が前記第１板面部と前記第２板面部の間に形成されたものであり、
前記通過口は、前記球送りユニットの外面に形成された開口であり、遊技球が通過できる大きさの第１開口と、遊技球が通過できない大きさの第２開口とが連続して形成されており、
前記分割線を用いて前記隙間を形成している前記第１板面部と前記第２板面部のうちの屈曲している前記第１板面部が、前記第２板面部よりも前記発射通路に近くなるように、前記球送りユニットに前記金属板材を配置したものであり、
さらに、前記金属板材における前記第２板面部の面積は、前記第１板面部の面積よりも大きい
ことを特徴とする（例えば、段落０２８２、図５８〜図６１等を参照）。 The present invention
A ball feed unit that sends game balls stored in the upper plate to a predetermined launch position via a passage opening;
A launching unit capable of launching game balls sent to the launch position one by one toward the game area;
A launch passage through which a game ball fired by the launch section passes;
A gaming machine equipped with
The ball feeding unit is provided with a metal plate material for preventing an illegal act caused by a wire attached to the game ball,
The metal plate material has a first plate surface portion which is a plate surface portion on one side with a straight dividing line as a boundary, and a second plate surface portion which is a plate surface portion on the other side with the dividing line as a boundary, The first plate surface portion is bent with respect to the second plate surface portion, and a substantially V-shaped gap gradually narrowing toward the end point of the dividing line is between the first plate surface portion and the second plate surface portion. Formed in the
The passage opening is an opening formed on an outer surface of the ball feeding unit, and a first opening having a size through which a game ball can pass and a second opening having a size through which the game ball cannot pass are continuously formed. And
Of the first plate surface portion and the second plate surface portion forming the gap using the dividing line, the bent first plate surface portion is closer to the launch passage than the second plate surface portion. As described above, the metal plate material is arranged in the ball feeding unit,
Furthermore, the area of the second plate surface portion in the metal plate material is larger than the area of the first plate surface portion (see, for example, paragraph 0282, FIGS. 58 to 61, etc.) .
