Description

[Detailed description of the invention] <Industrial application field> This invention relates to a prize winning device of a pachinko machine, and in particular, a first state and a player disadvantageous to a player by rotating a pair of ball receiving members by a driving source. And a prize device which can be converted into the second state which is advantageous to the prize winning device.

<Prior Art> As is well known, many prize winning devices as described above have been proposed, for example, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open Nos.
In Japanese Patent No. 99582, a guiding projection is provided on a ball receiving member to control a ball placed on the ball receiving member so that the ball does not particularly deviate from the ball receiving member. In Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open Publication No. 2-65974, a ball storage section is provided in a ball receiving member, and the ball is temporarily stored on the ball receiving member.

<Problem to be Solved by the Invention> However, in the ball receiving member of this type of conventional pachinko machine, the ball placed on the ball receiving member or the ball having excessive momentum is individually guided to the winning room (large winning opening). Although it may be possible to do so, in the conventional apparatus, the preceding ball placed on the ball receiving member does not actively guide the subsequent ball to another winning opening or the like. Therefore, the ball received by the ball receiving member only flows into the winning room, and the movement of the ball is scarcely changed. As a result, the game is simple and lacks interest.

<Means for Solving the Problems> The present invention has been proposed in view of the above, and has a mounting board attached to a game board of a pachinko machine, and a concave chamber communicating with an opening formed in the mounting board, The concave chamber has a first state disadvantageous to the player and a second state favorable to the player by driving of the driving source.
In a prize winning device of a pachinko machine facing a ball receiving member that can be converted into a state, a ball guiding function portion for stopping a preceding ball in the middle of a ball path from the ball receiving member to the concave room is provided. The movement of the ball from the ball receiving member to the concave chamber is varied by the preceding ball.

<Operation> The ball guiding member provided in the middle of the ball path from the ball receiving member to the concave chamber temporarily stops the ball received by the ball receiving member, and the subsequent ball acts on the stopped ball, That is, the following sphere contacts the preceding sphere by performing a guiding action such as contacting, colliding, or protruding, thereby giving various changes to the movement of the sphere from the ball receiving member toward the concave chamber.

<Embodiment> Hereinafter, the present invention will be described with reference to embodiments of the drawings. FIG. 1 shows a pachinko machine 2 provided with a prize winning device 1 according to the present invention.

A lower tray set 11 provided with a grip 10 for driving into a gaming section 9 formed on the surface by a guide rail 8 and a lower tray 11a for storing a ball overflowing from the upper tray 7 is provided.

Further, a plurality of starting ports provided on the winning device 1 and the substrate 12 are provided in a game section 9 surrounded by the guide rails 8 of the game board 6.
13 and an outro 14 and the like are arranged, a shoulder winning opening 15 is arranged on the side of the prize winning device 1, and a so-called tulip 16 and a windmill 17 are further arranged in the game section 9 and shown in FIG. There are many unobstructed nails. On the other hand, various display devices such as a prize ball discharge indicator light 18 and a hit indicator light 19 are provided outside the guide rail 8.

When a hit ball fired by the player wins the prize device 1 or the shoulder winning opening 15, a predetermined number of prize balls are discharged to the upper receiving tray 7a by a prize ball discharge device (not shown), and none of the prize balls is won. The ball is configured to be collected in the outro 14.

In the embodiment shown in FIGS. 2 to 7, the winning device 1 has an opening 21 substantially at the center of the mounting board 20 to be mounted on the surface of the game board 6, and has an opening 21 at the upper surface of the mounting board 20. An armor 23 having a plurality of prize winning openings 22 is protruded over the entire upper edge of the opening 21, and a pocket-shaped receiving frame 25 defined by a partition member 24 is protruded below the surface of the mounting substrate 20. Thereby, a general winning opening 26 located on the left and right and a special winning opening 27 located at the center are formed. An inflow blocking wall 28 is formed by extending the outer wall of the general winning opening 26 upward. In FIG. 2, the illustration of the upper decoration plate 23 'attached to the front surface of the armor portion 23 and the lower decoration frame 25' attached to the front surface of the receiving frame 25 is omitted.

A pair of ball receiving members 29 are rotatably mounted on the left and right side edges of the opening 21 by a rotating shaft 30. This ball receiving member 29,
The ball inflow space A formed between the armor portion 23 and the inflow prevention wall 28 is controlled. In the illustrated embodiment, the ball inflow space A is closed and the opening 21 is closed in the upright state. The ball enters the first state in which the ball cannot flow, and the ball enters the second state in which the ball inflow space A is opened when the ball is turned sideways so that the ball can easily flow. In the first state, the lower half of the ball receiving member 29 is in contact with the inside of the inflow prevention wall 28.

On the other hand, on the rear side of the mounting board 20, a rear case 31 having an open front is provided to form a concave chamber (adult prize opening) 32 communicating with the opening 21. An electric control device is provided behind the rear case 31. For example, a solenoid SOL is provided as a drive source 33 connected to a solenoid (SOL), and a pin 34a of a link member 34 fitted to an end of a rotation shaft 30 of the ball receiving member 29 is pivotally attached to a plunger 35 of the solenoid SOL. The drive mechanism is constituted by loosely fitting into the elongated hole 36a of the link lever 36 thus formed. Therefore, when the solenoid SOL is demagnetized, the left and right ball bearing members 29 return
When the solenoid SOL is energized by power supply from the electric control device while maintaining the first state in which the ball inflow space A is closed by being erected by the actuator 37 and the plunger 35 is pulled, the link lever 36 is raised. As a result, the ball receiving member 29 pivots outward by about 90 degrees in FIG. 2 to open the ball inflow space A with the outer end slightly higher than the inner end facing each other as shown by the solid line. Convert to the second state. Then, when the solenoid SOL is demagnetized, the ball receiving member 29 returns inward and rotates by the bias of the return spring 37 to return to the first state.

Further, an upper inclined plate 37 having a gentle downward slope toward the rear is provided at a middle level inside the concave chamber 32, that is, at a position substantially at the same height as the rotating shaft 30 of the ball receiving member 29, 32 upper chamber
In addition to being divided into a lower concave chamber 32b and a lower concave chamber 32b, a ball drop portion 38 is provided between the rear edge of the upper inclined plate 37 and the rear wall plate 31b of the rear case 31. The lower plate of the rear case 31 is located below the lower concave chamber 32b.
1a, a lower inclined plate 39 is formed. At the lower end of the lower inclined plate 39, a general winning opening 26 and a special winning opening 27 face, and an upper concave room is formed.
The ball that has flowed into the hole 32a and dropped from the ball falling portion 38 into the lower concave chamber 32b is guided to the special winning opening 27 or the general winning opening 26.

It should be noted that various ball sorting devices or ball storage devices may be provided in the upper concave chamber 32a or the lower concave chamber 32b to change the movement of the ball.

In the winning device 1 of the present invention, the ball guide member 40 is provided with the ball receiving member 29 described above. This ball guidance function
In the embodiment shown in FIGS. 2 to 7, 40 is constituted by a concave portion 41 into which a ball can enter. The concave portion 41 can guide the sphere in different modes according to the depth. In other words, as shown in FIG. 7 (a), when the ball which intrudes into the concave portion 41 and stays is flush with the ball receiving surface of the ball receiving member 29, the trajectory is drawn in FIG. There are many. As shown in FIG. 7 (b), when the depth of the concave portion 41 is smaller than the diameter of the sphere and larger than the radius, that is, the upper portion of the sphere is
In the case of slightly projecting from 9 ', a locus is often taken in FIG. As shown in FIG.
If the depth of the sphere is greater than or equal to the radius of the sphere, the following sphere may collide with the sphere that lands and stops, and the invaded sphere may be ejected from the recess 41.

Therefore, according to this embodiment, a change occurs in the movement of the ball which cannot be seen in the conventional prize device 1, making the subsequent development difficult to predict, or giving the player a sense of expectation and giving the player a fresh and entertaining atmosphere. Games can be provided. In FIG. 6, G is a glass provided in the pachinko machine 2.

The embodiment shown in FIG. 8 or FIG.
Is formed over a pair of ball receiving members 29. That is, a shallow concave portion 46 is provided at the inner end portion of the pair of ball receiving members 29 so that the ball can be stopped, and the course of the following ball is changed by the ball stopped in the concave portion 46. For example, in FIG. 8, when the ball P is parked in the depression 46, when the subsequent ball P 'collides with the ball P, the course of the ball P' changes as shown in the trajectory. If there is no hit ball P, it flows into the concave chamber 32 through a normal course as shown by the trajectory. When the ball receiving member 29 is rotated back, the stopped ball P falls toward the special winning opening 27.

Therefore, also in this embodiment, various changes can be given to the course of the ball by the action of the ball guiding function unit 40. In FIG. 8, G is a glass provided in the pachinko machine 2.

The embodiment shown in FIG. 10 to FIG.
Are formed by arc-shaped guide grooves 47 provided on the mounting substrate 20. The guide groove 47 is a rotation axis of the ball receiving member 29.
It is formed in an arc shape centered on 30, and its depth is slightly shallower than the diameter of the sphere. Therefore, the ball received by the ball receiving member 29 is guided toward the front surface side of the mounting substrate 20 by the taper of the ball receiving surface 29 ′ rearwardly inclined, and a ball flows into the guide groove 47. Since the depth of the guiding groove 47 is slightly smaller than the diameter of the sphere, a part of the sphere protrudes forward of the mounting substrate 20, and the rear corner of the ball receiving member 29 is engaged with the protruding portion. In this state, the momentum is weakened by the influence of the ball in which the subsequent ball is parked, causing a change in the inflow path to the concave chamber 32, making it difficult to predict the whereabouts of the ball. Further, when the ball receiving member 29 returns and rotates in a state where the ball is recessed in the guiding concave groove 47, the ball receiving member 29
The ball is pushed up by the rear corner of
Is transferred into the recessed chamber 32 along the path.

According to this embodiment, the course of the following ball is affected by the ball stopped in the guiding groove 47, and the course of the ball itself that is released when the ball receiving member 29 rotates back and forth is changed. , And entertaining games become possible. In addition, the above-mentioned guiding groove
The shape of 47 is not limited to an arc centered on the rotation shaft 30 and may be any shape as long as the ball can be transferred into the concave chamber 32 when the ball receiving member 29 rotates back. , May also have a horizontal U-shape or the like.

The embodiment shown in FIG. 13 to FIG.
Is constituted by a ball holding chamber 48 recessed in the mounting substrate 20. The ball holding chamber 48 has a depth that is deeper than the diameter of the ball, and a bottom surface 48a of the ball holding room 48 is provided with a forward downward slope. It is located slightly below the ball receiving surface 29 'of the ball receiving member 29 in the two states. Therefore, in the second state, the ball receiving member 29
The ball received by the ball holding chamber 48 is tilted by the ball receiving surface 29 '.
The ball is invaded into the ball storage chamber 48, is prevented from flowing out by the ball receiving member 29, and is temporarily stopped. However, when the ball receiving member 29 returns and rotates to return to the first state, the unsupported ball falls from the ball holding chamber 48. At this time, if the starting port 13 is arranged below the ball holding chamber 48 as shown in FIG. 16, a falling ball can easily flow into the starting port 13. Such a configuration is advantageous to the player in the pachinko machine 2 that permits the winning opening memory of the starting port 13.

The game of the pachinko machine 2 provided with the winning device 1 as described above may maintain the second state advantageous to the player for a certain number of times and a certain number of times when a predetermined condition is satisfied, When a ball enters the starting port 13, the ball receiving member 29 is opened and closed a predetermined number of times to allow the ball to flow into the concave chamber 32. Is turned on and the ball receiving member 29 is opened and closed at a predetermined interval for a predetermined time as one cycle, and if the ball enters the special winning opening 27 further during the cycle, the cycle can be updated up to a predetermined number of times When the ball enters the starting port and the ball enters the starting port when the ball enters the specific winning port and is in the right state, the state is converted to the second state for a predetermined time. Is also good. Further, the ball receiving member 29 may be repeatedly opened and closed at a relatively short cycle, or may be kept open for a predetermined time. Further, as shown in FIG. 1 or FIG. 16, an operation switch 52 that can be externally operated by a player is provided so that the player can turn the ball receiving member 29 with the timing of opening or closing. Good.

Reference numerals not described in the respective embodiments have the same configurations as those of the first embodiment shown in FIGS. 2 to 7, and a description thereof will be omitted.

As described above, the present invention has been described with reference to the embodiment of the drawings. However, the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and can be appropriately implemented as long as the configuration described in the claims for utility model registration is not changed. For example, the length of the ball receiving member is set so that the opposing interval between the inner ends in the second state is shorter than the diameter of the sphere, but an interval wider than the diameter of the sphere is generated, that is, You may set so that it can fall freely. Although a solenoid is exemplified as the drive source, other drive means such as a motor may be used.

<Effects of the Invention> In short, the present invention has a mounting board attached to a game board of a pachinko machine, and a concave chamber communicating with an opening formed in the mounting board, and the concave chamber is driven by a drive source.
