[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a mechanism set board for a pachinko game machine, and more particularly, to a pachinko ball used in a game section or extracted from a storage section, and finally the machine is discharged from a collective discharge section. The present invention relates to a mechanism set board that can be quickly discharged to a collection section on an outer installation frame side.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art As is well known, a pachinko machine (including other gaming machines that use pachinko balls) includes, as schematically shown in FIG.
The game is performed by being vertically aligned and installed on an installation frame (commonly referred to as an “island”) F in a game store. In this implementation state, a pachinko ball for a game is played one by one by a game operation by a player. The game is played by launching on the board. The game ball during the game is divided into an out ball entering the out mouth and a safe ball entering each prize tool, and is led out to each discharge path in the mechanism set board 21 on the back side, and finally Is discharged from the collective discharge port 27 below the mechanism set board 21 toward the collection and delivery path 61 in the installation frame F as used spheres. Further, in the pachinko machine P, even when a stored ball in the ball storage path portion of the mechanism set board 21 is extracted by the ball removing operation,
In the same manner as described above, it is discharged from the collective discharge port 27 to the collection and delivery path 61.

[0003]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In the pachinko machine implemented as described above, in response to a used ball or a withdrawn ball being dropped during the game being dropped and discharged from the collective discharge port 27, the installation frame is required. In the table F, a container 51 for discharging and receiving a ball is installed at a portion corresponding to the collective discharge port 27 in each pachinko machine P. The container 51 is for receiving the discharge ball and quickly discharging the discharge ball from the discharge port 52 to the collection / delivery path 61. The container 51 is, of course, installed at a position and at a height that does not interfere with each part on the back side of the pachinko machine P. , Container 5
There is a considerable play space H between the upper surface of the opening 1 and the collecting outlet 27. That is, in the ordinary basic structure of the pachinko machine, while the collecting outlet 27 is located at a required height with respect to the lower end of the front frame 2, the container 51 is provided with the lower receiving plate on which the outer frame 1 is placed. Since it is installed on the top 50, the above-mentioned play space H is naturally created between the upper and lower sides 27 and 51.

[0004] For this reason, the used spheres and the like discharged from the collective discharge port 27 fall vigorously into the container 51, and jump off due to a drop impact force or the like at that time. Often spill out of 51. Then, a considerable number of such protruding balls do not enter the collective delivery path 61, but rather enter the lower portion of the outer frame 1 of the pachinko machine P or fall on the lower receiving plate 50 of the installation frame base F. However, it cannot be recovered forever. As a result, there has been a problem that the game store cannot effectively use pachinko balls while preparing the number of pachinko balls corresponding to all pachinko machines for each installation frame base.

[0005] Incidentally, the above-mentioned pop-out balls are constantly generated in a situation where used balls are discharged during the operation of the pachinko machine (during a game), and the number of such balls depends on each pachinko machine. If a large amount occurs and it becomes the whole row of the installation frame unit, it will be a huge amount,
The ball is in a so-called play ball state in which the ball is not collected and used. These balls are sometimes dropped on the collection and delivery path 61 side by opening the front frame 2 side of the pachinko machine at the game store side, but it takes a lot of trouble in that case. Was.

The above-mentioned collecting outlet 27 and the container 51
In order to reduce the size of the play space H, the outlet 27 is extended downward, and the container 51 is extended upward or higher. In mounting the outer frame 1 on the installation frame base F, various inconveniences occur. In addition, as for pachinko machines of each manufacturer, one of the standard items is that the external sizes are uniform, so that the installation frame base F is used as a common base and exchanged for each installation part can do. However, there is naturally a difference in the internal structure, and if the height position of the collecting outlet 27 is different, the container 5
As a result, the front frame 2
It is impossible to assemble and set the entire side in a proper posture. Therefore, the container 51 is limited to a height range substantially equal to the upper surface of the lower frame portion of the outer frame 1 as a common member for the pachinko machine of each manufacturer. Due to such a background, the existence of the play space H has been unavoidable.

[0007]

Object of the Invention The present invention has been proposed to solve the above-mentioned problem suitably. In the back of a pachinko gaming machine, a pachinko ball used for a game or a pachinko ball extracted from a storage section side. To promptly discharge and guide the device to a collecting section on the installation frame base side of a gaming machine to prevent the device from falling and scattering.

Each of the hit ball firing devices 11 is mounted. On the other hand, a game board 16 is set inside the holding frame 4 inside the frame 3 so as to be detachable and replaceable from the front, and is aligned with the game auxiliary board 5 below the holding frame 4. A mechanism set board 21 is attached and set to be openable and closable or detachable on the back side of.

The front frame 2 is an example in which the entire frame 3 and the holding frame 4 are made of synthetic resin.
In addition to the installation portions for various members being formed on each part of the two frame members 3 and 4, as shown in FIG. 4, for the prize balls connected to the upper ball plate 8 and the lower ball plate 10, respectively. Exits 12 and 13,
An outgoing passage 14 is formed for an out-ball, and a firing rail 15 is provided on the front surface of the game auxiliary board 5. On the other hand, in the game board 16, as shown in FIG. 1, an out port 17 communicating with the exit path 14 is formed, and various prize means 18 and 19 are provided. , Cover the back of 19, and put the safe ball on the mechanism set board 2
A protection guide cover 20 for guiding out to one side is set to be openable and closable.

The mechanism set board 21 includes a ball path, a member, and a ball on each part of a main body 22 aligned and set on the back side of the holding frame 4.
A window 23 is opened in the center of the main body 22 to allow opening and closing of the protection guide cover 20. A window 23 is provided inside the lower portion of the window 23. A discharge path 24 communicating with the ball discharge path 14 and a discharge path 25 for the safe ball are formed separately from each other.
Are formed, and the downstream ends of the three members 24, 25, 26 are communicated with one collective discharge passage 27 extending downward from the lower end of the main body 22. As shown in FIG. 4, the discharge path 27 extends to the lower part of the front frame 2 on the back side of the frame 3, and the lowermost end thereof is located substantially above the outlet 13 on the lower ball tray 10 side. , And faces the collection container 51 installed on the lower receiving plate 50 of the installation frame F.

As another configuration of the set board 21, as shown in FIG. 2, a prize ball storage tank 28, an alignment trough 29, a delivery trough 30 and a prize ball discharge device 31 extend from the upper stage to the lower stage of the main body 22. Are installed in order. Below the device 31, a first winning ball discharge path 32 communicating with the outlet 12 on the upper ball tray 8 side, and branching and connecting from the discharge path 32 to communicate with the outlet 13 on the lower ball tray 10 side. Second
The prize ball discharge path 33 is defined. In addition, as partially shown in FIG. 5, the collective discharge path 27, the ball emptying path 26, and the first and second prize ball discharge paths 32 and 33 are covered with a single cover.

By the way, the elimination of the prize ball on the set board 21 is performed by a pin-like tool (not shown) inserted through a small hole 35 (see FIG. 1) penetrating the frame 3 of the front frame 2. A switch (not shown) is operated (ON) in response to the operation of the ball release lever 36 on the set board 21 side.
On the basis of this, the switching member 37 is operated via the electric control device E to open the entrance of the ball emptying path 26,
The prize ball discharge device 31 is held in the ball-open state. As a result, all the stored balls from the device 31 to the storage tank 28 are drawn out to the ball discharging path 26 and discharged from the collecting discharge path 27 to the outside of the machine. The ball release lever 36 is automatically returned to its original state after being operated, and the switching member 37 and the prize ball discharging device 31 are automatically returned to their original states after a lapse of a set time required for completing the ball release. Is done.

The above-described mechanism for preventing the pachinko balls from being scattered, which is implemented on the mechanism set board 21, is provided between the collecting / discharging path 27 and the container 51 of the installation frame F so as to regulate the falling guide of the discharged pachinko balls. A guide control member 41 in the form of a cylindrical chute having an appropriate elasticity (flexibility) is used as a main component thereof to prevent scattering.
With 1 set to the required vertical length, collective discharge path 2
7 is attached so as to be attachable / detachable and displaceable.

That is, in this guide regulating member 41, FIG.
As shown in FIG. 6, a regulation cylinder 46 for buffering a ball is formed at the lower end of the guide cylinder 42 for insertion. In the guide tube portion 42, the collective discharge passage 27 and the cover 3
4 is formed into a rectangular cylindrical shape having a required length that can be fitted and inserted to the outside together with a portion 34a of each of the four. Are formed with a plurality of cutout grooves 43 around the entire periphery. Further, in the regulating cylinder portion 46, many comb-shaped buffer regulating pieces 47, 47 having sufficient flexibility and resilience are provided at the lower end of the opening.
Are formed in a drooping shape and aligned at a uniform position.
However, the guide tube portion 42 is adapted to be closely fitted and inserted into the collecting and discharging path 27 side. The holes 48 can be aligned with each other. Each of the cutout grooves 43 is formed in a V shape that can be easily cut with scissors or the like.
An escape port 45 that does not require cutting is provided at each corner.

As shown in FIG. 4, the guide restricting member 41 is inserted and fixed in the collecting / discharging passage 27 covered with the cover 34 and extends in a hanging state as shown in FIG. In mounting the member 41, the collecting discharge path 2
In consideration of the play space H between the container 7 and the container 51, the total length is set in advance based on the necessity of shortening the guide cylinder 42. Under this condition, the guide cylinder portion 42 is fitted into the collecting / discharging passage 27 from below and fixed at a predetermined position. If necessary, screws 49 are screwed into the long holes 48 of the cover 34 from the screw holes 44 and fixedly held. Is done.

The guide restricting member 41 mounted and set as described above is based on the premise that the pachinko machine P is installed on the installation frame F, and as shown in FIG. (Left side) It is inclined in accordance with the installation inclination angle of the pachinko machine P, facing the closer position. Under this condition, as a suitable setting position of the same member 41, the lower end of each buffering regulation piece 47 of the regulation cylinder portion 46 enters the upper surface of the opening of the container 51 appropriately, and connects the collecting discharge path 27 and the container 51. It is in a state of direct communication. Incidentally, when the front frame 2 is opened and closed with respect to the outer frame 1 of the pachinko machine P, the amount of entry h can be sufficiently deformed when the respective buffering restricting pieces 47 come into contact with the upper edge of the container 51 and sufficiently escape. It is set within the range.

[0021]

In the structure for preventing the pachinko balls from scattering in the mechanism set board 21 of the present embodiment configured as described above, the guide restricting member 41, which is the main component of the structure, is provided before the pachinko machine P is implemented or Regardless of the state of the apparatus at the time of installation on the installation frame F, it can be mounted and set at a required position with respect to the collective discharge path 27 under the condition that the overall length is appropriately selected as needed. In the state of the operation of the pachinko machine P, the pachinko balls discharged from the collecting and discharging path 27 toward the container 51 can always be appropriately guided and regulated.

In other words, the ball guide restricted state by the guide restricting member 41 is viewed from the pachinko ball side, and the used ball including the out ball and the safe ball generated during the game of the pachinko machine P is removed by the ball removing operation. The released storage balls are stored in the respective paths 24,
25 and 26, most of the balls are dropped by the guide restricting member 4 due to the momentum, the installation inclination angle of the pachinko machine P, and the like during the falling process after being discharged from the collecting discharge path 27.
The inner surface of the first guide cylinder portion 42 and the inner surface of each buffering regulation piece 47 of the regulation cylinder portion 46 are appropriately abutted, the falling impact force (momentum) is reduced, and the falling impact force (momentum) falls onto the container 51, and is relatively small on the bottom plate 51a. It will fall by the impact force. For this reason, the degree of rebound of the ball after falling into the container 51 is reduced, and the jumping out of the container 51 is positively suppressed.

In the above-described ball discharge and drop situation, when a part of the discharged ball jumps outward with excessive force, the ball (mainly the ball that jumped to the back side of the pachinko machine P) As can be understood from FIG. 4, when jumping to the upper surface of the opening of the container 51, it is rebounded downward by hitting each buffer regulating piece 47 in the regulating cylinder 46 of the guide regulating member 41, and falls back into the container 51 to be collected. Is done. In other words, due to the scattering deviation stopping function provided by the regulating cylinder portion 46, the splashing ball is positively suppressed from scattering, and as a result, it is avoided that the ball jumps into the lower rear side of the outer frame 1 and remains as it is. You. It should be noted that the ball that has jumped from the container 51 toward the collection and delivery path in the installation frame F (see FIG. 8) may be regarded as the same as the ball discharged from the discharge port 52 of the container 51. It is not necessary to stop the departure.

In particular, the guide restricting member 41 described above is premised on that the entire length thereof can be set appropriately and easily.
The lower position is appropriately set with respect to the upper surface of the lower frame portion 1a, and the lower end is limited. Therefore, even when the container 51 is installed at a position slightly higher or lower than the upper surface of the lower frame 1 a of the outer frame 1, the guide restricting member 41 itself places the restricting cylindrical portion 46 on the upper surface of the opening of the container 51. It can be set to a suitable position where it is facing. When the member 41 is implemented at a relatively lower position, the lower end of the regulating cylinder 46 may interfere with the upper surface of the lower frame 1 a of the outer frame 1 or the upper edge of the container 51 when the front frame 2 is opened and closed. Whatever happened,
The impact and the like are greatly alleviated by the flexible deformation of each buffering restriction piece 47, and the cushioning restriction piece 47 can be shifted without difficulty. As a result, the guide regulating member 4
Deformation, breakage, and the like of the device 1 itself, the mechanism set board 21, and the container 51 can be avoided.

[0025]

[Modifications] In the structure for preventing the pachinko balls from being scattered in the mechanism set board which is the object of the present invention, the guide restricting member, which is the main body, is not limited to that of the above-described embodiment, but is appropriately modified. There may be. That is, in view of the fact that the container 51 is generally in the shape of a horizontally long cubic box, the guide restricting member 41 is provided with the guide cylinder 4 as illustrated in FIG.
It is also recommended that the regulating cylinder part 46 at the lower end of the hopper is formed and connected in a hopper shape, and a plurality of cushioning regulating pieces 47 are formed on the lower edge of the opening. For each of the guide restricting members 41 of the embodiment and the modified example, each buffer restricting piece 47 may be formed to have an appropriate length and hang down to have a divergent shape or a tapered shape, based on an appropriate material selection. Of course, the guide cylinder 4
2 and the regulating cylinder 46 are formed separately from each other,
It may be one that is provided so as to be adjustable in length. In the case where the discharge ports are separated for each type of ball on the mechanism set board, the guide restricting member may be set at an appropriate shape and installed at each discharge port. It is also possible to collectively install at each outlet by passing through.

[0026]

As described in detail in the embodiment, in the mechanism set board of the pachinko gaming machine according to the present invention, the collective discharge path communicated with the discharge paths for the out ball, the safe ball, and the extraction ball is provided. On the other hand, the guide restricting member for the ejected ball can be mounted at a required position to provide a set board for preventing the ball from scattering. And since the guide restricting member can reduce the impact force of the falling ball by providing a suitable guide for the discharge ball from the collecting discharge path, the degree of rebound of the ball dropped into the container on the installation frame side is reduced. As a result, it is possible to prevent the ball from jumping out, and to prevent the pachinko ball that has jumped up with excessive force into a substantially comb-like cushioning of the same member .
The return control cylinder portion receives the ball and returns it to the inside of the container. As a result, the discharge balls from the collective discharge path are properly guided to fall into the container, and it is possible to avoid a state in which the discharge balls remain long behind the lower part of the gaming machine. In addition, since the guide restricting member can be mounted and set so that the overall length thereof is appropriately set in consideration of the play space between the collective discharge path and the container on the installation frame base side. When the front frame is opened and closed, it is possible to prevent a situation in which the member collides with the container or the outer frame. Also, temporarily, the guidance regulation department
Even if the material may interfere with the container or outer frame,
Since the regulating cylinder can be elastically and flexibly deformed,
It is greatly relaxed and can be changed without difficulty. On the other hand, the container on the installation frame base side does not need to be provided with an expensive buffer mat material, ball scattering prevention material, or the like, and these members can be omitted to reduce the cost.
