Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a prize ball discharge path in a pachinko game machine, and more specifically, in a game machine in which a pachinko ball is used as a medium for a game and a prize, a prize pachinko machine paid out from the back side of the machine. Sphere (also called prize ball)
To a prize ball discharge path for discharging the balls toward the upper and lower bowls on the front side of the machine.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In this type of gaming machine represented by a pachinko machine, a gaming pachinko ball (also referred to simply as a game ball) in an upper ball plate is associated with a ball feeding device and a ball striking device.
Each ball is driven into the game area of the game board. Within the game area, the game balls are divided into out balls that have entered the out mouth and prize balls that have entered various winning equipment (also called safe balls), and go out from the respective routes on the mechanism set board on the back side. While being discharged, prize balls are released as rewards for each prize ball.

Regarding this award ball, in the conventional mechanism set board S schematically shown in FIG. 9, the award ball processing device 61 processes the award balls one by one, and the award ball releasing device 62 is a one. It is operated one by one and paid out in units of a predetermined number. Then, the prize balls discharged into the discharge path 63 are preferentially discharged from the discharge port 65 of the first discharge path 64 to the upper bowl plate, and after filling a predetermined portion of the first discharge path 64,
The second discharge passage 66 branched and connected to the side of the discharge passage 64 on the downstream side is discharged to the lower bowl. The balls in the upper and lower bowls can be discharged by opening the ball removing mechanism attached to the bowl.

[0004]

In the conventional generalized pachinko machine as described above, it is a prize for a long time until today, on the premise that it has upper and lower ball plates. Regarding the discharge form of the balls, there is a side that is confined to the idea that they are discharged to each ball plate side through different routes. Therefore, in all the pachinko machines, the same prize ball discharge mode as shown in FIG. 9 is adopted, and the first discharge path 64 and the second discharge path 66 are provided in different directions in the downstream portion of the discharge path 63. Prize balls are discharged based on the technical idea that the first discharge path 64 and the second discharge path 66 should be branched and connected to the upper bowl side and the lower bowl side, respectively. The entire route is constructed.

However, the award ball discharge mode described above is currently under severe restrictions when viewed from the structural aspect of the entire mechanism set board S, and by extension, the entire machine. That is, as can be understood from FIG. 9, the mechanism set board S is naturally limited to a size that can be set on the back side of the game board in consideration of the entire machine. And as the most common type, a window 67 having a large size that can correspond to the back side of the game area is largely opened in the central portion, and in the peripheral portion of the window 67,
Various components such as necessary routes and devices related to processing of the out balls and safe balls, storage and discharge of prize balls, etc. are integrated, while various electric control devices are equipped. It has become so.

In such a situation, the second discharge path 66 in the prize ball discharge path uses a considerably large space in consideration of the prize ball storage capacity. Therefore, as a matter of course, the mechanism setting board is used. A space for installing a component part in S, a lower part 68 of the window 67 which is a particularly easy-to-use part
The space has been reduced. For this reason, while the absolute miniaturization of the required structural members is being forced, it is extremely difficult to install various accessory members related to the improvement of the function of the machine itself and the service to the player. It was In summary, in other words, in the mechanism set board S, the above-mentioned second
If it is possible to discharge the prize balls to the upper and lower bowls by omitting the discharge path 66, it is the most desirable that the space of the second discharge path 66 can be effectively utilized, and this is preferably realized. The technology that can be realized is one of the epoch-making technical proposals.

[0007]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been proposed to suitably solve the above-mentioned problems, and discharges the prize balls discharged from the prize ball discharging portion of the mechanism set board on the back side of the front frame to the upper and lower bowl plates. As a path to be carried out, the discharge path section dedicated to the upper bowl side provided on the mechanism set board side and the passage path section dedicated to the lower bowl dish side provided on the front frame side are partially connected to each other. It is therefore an object of the present invention to provide a prize ball discharge route in a pachinko gaming machine, which simplifies the entire route and enables effective use of the mechanism set board and the front frame.

[0008]

[Means for Solving the Problems] Overcoming the above-mentioned problems,
In order to achieve the intended purpose, the present invention is equipped with a game board, window constituent members, upper and lower ball plates, a ball striking device, a mechanism setting board on the back side, etc. on each part of the front frame assembled to the outer frame. In the pachinko game machine, on the mechanism set board side,
It is located inside the front of the front frame, while defining a discharge path portion for always preferentially discharging the prize balls discharged from the prize ball discharging device in a predetermined number of units toward the upper bowl plate side. In the game auxiliary board portion, the passage path portion for passing out the prize balls overflowing to the back side to the lower ball plate side with the prize ball filling on the upper ball plate side is defined, and in the discharge path part, The discharge path connected to the outlet of the prize ball discharging device and the discharge opening formed on the lower side of the discharge chamber at the lower part of the discharge path and connected to the upper ball dish side are communicated with each other, and In the exit path portion, on the side of the outlet and the passage opening which is opened at the front and rear of the upper part of the game auxiliary board and is aligned and communicated between the outlet of the outlet passage and the receptacle of the upper bowl. The above-mentioned overflow outlet is opened on the back side of the game auxiliary board part and is branched and communicated downward from the overflow outlet. It has a passageway connected to the container member aligned and set on the back side of the bowl and a detection mechanism for detecting the filled state of the prize balls is provided at a required portion facing the passageway portion. And

[0009]

[Operation] Assuming that the winning condition is generated during the game, the prize balls discharged from the prize ball discharging device on the mechanism set board side each time pass through the discharge path of the discharge path section on the set board side. It enters the discharge chamber and is discharged toward the discharge port or preferentially toward the outlet. In such a discharge state,
The prize balls are promptly passed through the through hole into the upper bowl through the opening, and in this process, the upper bowl and the receiving hole are sequentially filled next to the through hole. Then, when the prize balls are filled up to a predetermined portion in the passage, prize balls discharged thereafter overflow from the overflow outlet of the passage. The prize balls that have overflowed from the overflow outlet are received in the container member through the passage of the passage path portion on the back side of the front frame, and then quickly discharged into the lower bowl. In this passing process, the prize balls are successively filled in the lower ball dish and the container member, and a considerable amount is stored therein. When the prize balls stored and stored in the communication path portion are filled to a predetermined level, the detection mechanism detects this and interrupts the game.

As shown in the figure, the left and right horizontal rectangular frames are formed forward from the inner side surface of the mechanism set board D, and the bottom plate 36a thereof is continuous with the bottom plate 35a of the general discharge chamber 35 and has a forward downward slope. The opening area is directly connected to the upper bowl 11 side. A bell 37 for generating a sound effect is attached to the outlet of the discharge path 34, while a guide 38 having a protrusion 38a for buffer rectifying the prize ball is required on the bottom plate 36a of the discharge port 36. Will be attached accordingly. The discharge path portion E ₁ is covered with a cover 40 that is common to the passage parts of the out-ball discharge path 22 and the prize-ball discharge processing part 25 (see FIG. 7).

On the other hand, in the exit passage portion E ₂ on the front frame B side, as shown in FIGS. 3, 4, 6, 7, and 8, in the frame board portion 5 of the accommodation holding frame 4. A passage 41 that is opened at the upper left portion of the passage and is aligned with the discharge port 36; a passage 42 that is obliquely defined on the back side and branched from a part of the passage 41; To the return port 43 opened at the exit of the passage 42 from each other. Then, specifically, as shown in FIGS. 4 and 8, the ridge 41a for partitioning formed in the central portion of the bottom surface of the passage 41 is used to open the overflow outlet 50 in the half of the opening to form the passage 42. Of the return passage 43 while the downstream end of the passage 42 is communicated with the upstream end of the return port 43.

Under this, the storage for storage is aligned with the outlet of the passage 42, the back side of the return port 43, and the back side of the horizontal rectangular set port 44 opened at the central portion of the support board portion 3 of the frame 1. The container 45 is attached, and a prize ball or the like that is passed from the side of the outlet 42 and a foul ball or the like that is returned to the return port 43 can be received from the opening surface of the container 45.
The back surface of the passage 42 is covered with the cover plate 28 to be partitioned from the out-ball and safe-ball paths 23, 26.
If necessary, the bell 46 may be attached to the passage 42 (see FIG. 4). If the bell 46 is not needed, the passage 42 can be used as a storage passage.

Since the prize ball discharge path is configured as described above, in the mechanism set board D, the discharge portion to the lower ball dish 12 side, that is, the passage path E ₂ is unnecessary, and the same path is provided. By omitting the parts, as shown in FIG. 2 and FIG. 6, the space of the lower outer portion of the window 21 is enlarged left and right to form an effective installation part 39. Incidentally, the installation portion 39 can be configured to have a width of ⅔ or more of the left-right width of the set board D itself. A cover (not shown) may be attached to the same portion 39 if necessary.

Regarding the above-mentioned communication state of each ball plate with respect to the prize ball discharge path, in the above ball plate 11, the set support plate 1 is used.
The receiving port 47 extended to the inside of 0 (the right side in FIG. 7) is
Aligned with the outlet 41 and communicated directly with the outlet 36, on the other hand, in the lower ball dish 12, the receiving port 49 opened in the mounting support plate 48 on the lower front surface of the frame 1 is aligned with the setting port 44. As a result, the container 45 is directly communicated with the container 45. In addition, each ball dish is provided with a ball removing means, and in the above ball dish 11, by opening the opening / closing member 51 schematically shown in FIG. The example in which the ball is discharged to 45 and the example in which the ball is directly discharged from the ball feed outlet portion facing the lower right edge of the set supporting board 10 to the lower ball tray 12 are selected to enable ball removal. Further, in the lower ball dish 12, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 7, the opening / closing member 52 is opened so that it can be discharged from the extraction hole 53.

As for the related parts of the prize ball discharge path, the required portion of the mechanism set board D (in the vicinity of the discharge path 24 of the out ball discharge path 22) is filled with prize balls on the exit path portion E ₂ side. A detection mechanism 54 for detecting the state is attached. In this mechanism 54, as illustrated in FIG. 6 and FIG. 7, a sensing member 55 that senses and fluctuates the pressure of the prize balls in the container 45, and a switch 56 that is operated by the member 55.
And the switch 56 is an electric control circuit board.
(Not shown), it is set to stop the drive unit of the hitting ball launching device 14 by a signal at the time of its detection operation (ON). The container 4 is associated with the mechanism 54.
A mouth 57 for the sensing member 55 is opened at the upper end of the side portion of 5. By the way, using the detection signal of the switch 56,

Further, a ball guide lever 58 that is switched and displaced by the operation of a rotary solenoid (not shown) is attached to the prize ball discharge path E _{1 on} the discharge path 34 side. Incidentally, reference numeral 59 in FIG.
Indicates a ball-out path.

[0022]

[Operation of the embodiment] In the pachinko machine of this embodiment described above,
Based on the cooperation of the ball feeding device 13 and the hitting ball launching device 14, the game balls in the upper ball plate 11 are launch rails 15 one by one.
It is possible to play a game by launching the game from and hitting it in the game area 17 of the game board C. The out balls that have entered the out port 18 are discharged from the receiving port 7 through the discharge path 22, and the prize balls that have entered each of the prize winning devices 19 are the prize ball discharging processing unit 2.
5 is discharged from the collective rectifying path 26 and is processed one by one by the processing device 27, and finally the discharge path 24 for out balls.
Emitted from. Further, in association with the processing of winning balls, the discharging device 33 of the winning ball storing and discharging section 29 is operated at a proper timing to discharge a fixed number of winning balls.

Now, the prize ball discharge processing mode will be described. That is, with respect to the prize balls discharged from the prize ball discharging device 33 every time, the discharge path portion E on the upper side of the prize ball discharge path is always used.
_After passing through the discharge passage 34 in ₁ into the general discharge chamber 35, the discharge is performed mainly from the right side opening portion of the discharge port 36 in FIG. In such a discharge state, the prize balls are quickly passed through the passage opening 41, the receiving opening 47, and the upper bowl 11 as shown in FIG.
In this process, the upper spherical bowl 11 and the receiving opening 47 are filled next to the inside of the passage 41. When the prize balls are filled up to a predetermined portion in the passage 41, the prize balls to be discharged thereafter are branched from the passage 41, that is, the overflow outlet 5
Overflows from 0 (see Figure 8).

Then, in the discharge state described above, the prize balls overflowing from the overflow outlet 50 of the passage 41 are received in the container 45 through the passage 42 of the passage E _{2 on} the back side of the front frame B. Then, it is promptly passed through the receiving port 49 and into the lower bowl 12. In this process, the prize balls are
The receptacle 49 and the container 45 are sequentially filled from the lower bowl 12 and a considerable amount (more than the upper bowl 11 side) is stored therein.

[0025] In discharging and passing the prize balls described above,
In the detection mechanism 54, when the prize balls stored and stored in the discharge path portion E ₂ are filled up to a predetermined level (for example, see the two-dot chain line in the container 45 in FIG. 7), the sensing member 55 causes the prize member 55 to receive the prize balls. When the pressure is changed by the pressure of the group, the switch 5
6 is detected (ON). As a result, the drive unit of the hitting ball launching device 14 is temporarily stopped, and the game is interrupted due to the inability to launch the game ball, while a lamp (not shown) is lit and displayed as necessary. In this state, the sensing ball 55 and the switch 56 are restored to their original state by discharging the prize ball from the lower ball plate 12 to reduce the filling amount in the container 45, while the hitting ball launching device 14 Is resumed and the game can be resumed.

At the time of detection of the prize ball fullness of the detection mechanism 54, there is a sufficient space for accommodating the prize balls across the passageway 42 and the general discharge chamber 35, while the processing device 27 for winning balls and the discharge of prize balls are provided. The device 33 is still in a condition where it can continue its original operation. Therefore, with regard to the winning balls that have been generated before the detection time (the time when the hitting ball launching device 14 is stopped) and that flow out from the back side of the game board C or the winning balls that have already entered the collective rectification path 26, In this case, all the spheres (for example, 2 to 3) are processed by the operation of the processing device 27,
The prize balls are discharged by the operation of the prize ball discharging device 33 related thereto. As a result, the prize balls are discharged from the discharge port 36 and discharged to the discharge passage 42 in the same manner as described above, and are stored from the upper end portion of the container 45 to the discharge passage 42 and further to the comprehensive discharge chamber 35.

However, if the number of existing winning balls (balls in the winning ball discharging processing section 25) is exceptionally large, the discharged winning balls extend from the upper end of the discharging path 34 to the outlet of the winning ball discharging device 33. When the device is full, the device 33 itself detects and determines that the prize ball cannot be discharged as an abnormal condition due to the prize ball being full, and is automatically stopped in the inoperable state. It will be stopped. As a result, some of the existing winning balls may remain in the collective rectifying path 26 without being processed. Incidentally, in this state, as described above, by discharging the prize balls from the lower ball tray 12, the prize mechanism is completely released and the detection mechanism 54 is restored to its original state, while both devices 27 and 33 are activated. It will be resumable.

Incidentally, regarding the processing of other pachinko balls related to the above-mentioned prize ball discharge route, the game balls which could not reach the game area 17 of the game board C are stored as the normal foul balls on the front side of the accommodating and holding frame 4. It is returned to the inside of the ball receiving member 16 and is passed through the return port 43 into the container 45.
On the other hand, when the set support board 10 of the upper bowl 11 is opened,
The ball in the receiving opening 47 may spill into the window 2 of the front frame B, and the spilled ball is also received by the ball receiving member 16 or finally from the return opening 43 along the lower bottom surface of the window 2. It passes through the container 45.

The game machine to which the present invention is applied is a game machine using a pachinko ball other than the pachinko machine of the embodiment, in which a metal or synthetic resin housing holding frame is installed on the back side of the wooden front frame. It may be a different model. Of course, this includes cases where the type of mechanism set board, for example, the processing device is of each type such as mechanical type, electric type or switch type, and the prize ball releasing device is of each type such as case type, partition gutter type or feed car type. It may be one. In each gaming machine, the prize ball discharge path may be formed by forming a part of the passage path portion side on the front surface side of the housing holding frame. On the other hand, the detection mechanism may be attached to the passage route side (for example, inside the discharge passage 42 in FIG. 4) or the discharge route side (for example, inside the general discharge chamber 35 in FIG. 6) as necessary. A configuration example in which another detection mechanism for full prize ball detection is provided upstream of the discharge path portion and the winning ball processing device and the prize ball discharging device are stopped at the time of synchronization or another time may be set at the time of detection. Of course, each device may be a setting example in which stop control is performed under its own detection condition or state.

[0030]

As can be understood from the above-mentioned embodiment,
In the prize ball discharge path in the pachinko gaming machine according to the present invention, the prize ball discharged from the prize ball discharge device of the mechanism set board with respect to the winning condition is always discharged in the discharge path section on the mechanism set board side, As it is, it can be quickly passed out to the upper dish side. Then, the prize balls overflowing with the filling of prize balls on the upper bowl side can be promptly passed to the lower bowl side via the outlet path section on the front frame side communicating with the discharge path section. It is possible.

That is, the mechanism set board side is provided with an upper discharge path section dedicated to the ball dish side, and the front frame side is provided with a discharge path section dedicated to the lower ball dish side so that both path sections are partially connected. By doing so, the entire route can be simplified. In addition, the mechanism set board of the conventional game machine mentioned at the beginning (see Fig. 9)
In contrast to the discharge path part of No. 2, the present invention can omit the second discharge path connected to the lower bowl side, and can simplify the prize ball discharge path in the mechanism set board. Therefore, the lower part of the window of the set board can be enlarged by providing a space for the discharge path. Therefore, it is possible to greatly improve the discharge path portion, and as an effective use of the enlarged space portion, various accessory parts, electric parts, etc. can be installed easily and more, which causes inconvenience between parts. It is possible to solve the stacked installation condition. In addition, there is an advantage that the front frame can be effectively used.
