Description

The present invention relates to a ball-and-ball game machine for driving a game by hitting a game ball on a game section of a game board.

[Prior Art] As is well known, in a conventional ball game machine, a large number of obstacle nails are planted in a game section in which a board surface of a game board is divided into a substantially circular shape by guide rails and driven into the game section. The game ball changes the flow path while colliding with the obstacle nail, and the game is played depending on whether or not the game ball enters a predetermined winning opening provided in the game section.

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] However, in the conventional ball-ball game machine, since the flow path is almost determined by the mode of the nail, the movement of the game ball is not surprising, and the nail is not nailed. Since the degree of winning is determined by adjusting the, the chance of winning is low and the game lacks interest.

[Means for Solving Problems] Therefore, in the present invention, a plurality of leaf springs 6a to 6e for receiving a falling game ball on its upper surface and causing it to bounce irregularly in a plane parallel to the game board are provided. Arranged in the game section 4a, in the game section 4a portion located above the leaf springs 6a ~ 6e to form a bounding area 10 in which the game ball can freely jump, aiming to solve the problem Is.

[Operation] When the falling game ball collides with the leaf springs 6a to 6e, it bounces irregularly in a plane parallel to the game board, and freely bounces in the bound area 10. Therefore, the movement of the game ball is surprising, and the chance is added to the prize, which increases the interest of the game.

[Embodiment] An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

The ball game machine 1 has a well-known structure in which the game board 4 is attached to the inner part of the window hole 3 opened in the front frame 2. A guide rail 5 is stretched on the board surface of the game board 4, and a substantially circular game portion 4a is defined by the guide rail 5.

Thus, the game section 4a is divided vertically by connecting a plurality of leaf springs 6a to 6e in a transverse manner. This leaf spring
6a to 6e are those in which both ends are fixed by pins 7 and 7 so as to face the falling direction of the game ball and curve in a mountain shape. pin
7, 7 and the leaf springs 6a to 6e are coupled by fixing the end portions of the leaf springs 6a to 6e to the longitudinal groove 7a formed in the axial direction of the pin 7 or by cutting the side surface of the pin 7 evenly. Then, the end portions of the leaf springs 6a to 6e may be bonded. The leaf springs 6a to 6e are arranged such that the leaf springs 6a and 6e are in contact with the guide rails 5 at both wings and the leaf spring 6c located at the center of the leaf springs 6a and 6e is at the lowest position. Leaf springs 6b, 6d between springs 6a, 6c, 6e
And are arranged in a concave arc shape as a whole, and each leaf spring is
A gap 13 is formed between each of 6a to 6e, and the game ball is dropped from the gap 13 to the game portion 4a below. The leaf springs 6a to 6e have the function of receiving a falling game ball on its upper surface and causing it to bounce irregularly in a plane parallel to the game board so as not to collide with the glass plate in front of the game board, and
Either leaf spring is formed by forming a concave arc shape as a whole.
A game ball bound by 6a to 6e is easily hound by another leaf spring 6a to 6e. By varying the strength of each leaf spring 6a-6e, the movement of the game ball becomes more irregular, which is more effective.

On the other hand, in the game area 4a located above the leaf springs 6a to 6e, a bounding area 10 is formed by forming a space in which obstacles such as obstacle nails 8 and windmills 9 which obstruct the bounds of the game ball are not provided. Is configured. The bound area 10 is provided with only a pair of winning openings 12 each having an opening 11 formed only in both lateral directions.

In addition, in FIG. 2, the shaft rod 17 erected below the leaf springs 6a to 6e is a stopper for preventing the leaf springs 6a to 6e from being excessively bent, and at the same time, decorates the front surfaces of the leaf springs 6a to 6e. It is a support shaft for the decorative plate 14.

Further, in the lower game section 4a, obstacle nails 8, windmills 9, variable winning devices 15, 15 and the like are provided as in a normal game machine. The ball game machine 1 of the present embodiment is one in which a gate frame 16 is provided in a row at the bottom of the game section 4a, and the determined gate frame 16
A score is given by satisfying the combination of, and a prize ball is discharged.

 Next, the operation of the present invention will be described.

The released game ball enters the upper game section 4a along the guide rail 5 and collides with the leaf spring 6e, for example, to reach the bound area.
Bounced back to 10. When this game ball collides with another leaf spring 6c, it is repelled to the bound area 10 in the same manner.
In this way, the game ball freely jumps in the bounding area 10 and loses momentum.Those that lose the momentum fall through the gap 13 between the leaf springs 6a to 6e to the game portion 4a below and win the variable winning device 15 or the like. Or enter the gate frame 16. On the other hand, when the game ball jumps in the bouncing area 10 and jumps into the opening 11 of the winning opening 12, it becomes a winning ball and is guided to the frame that is difficult to enter the gate frame 16.

According to the embodiment described above, only the winning opening 12 is provided in the bouncing area 10, but the obstacle nail 8 may be slightly provided upright in order to change the bouncing game ball.

Further, the leaf springs 6a to 6e do not need to be provided in a form in which the game section 4a is divided into upper and lower parts, and may be formed, for example, at the lowermost part of the game section 4a.

[Effects of the Invention] As described above, according to the present invention, since the driven game ball jumps and jumps in the bound area 10, the operation of the game ball is surprising, and the winning area is provided in the bound area 10. For example, chances will be added to the form of winning, and the interest of the game will increase.

Also, as a member for bouncing the game ball, the leaf spring 6a-
By using 6e, the irregular interlocking of the game ball can be fixed in the plane parallel to the game board, which causes the bouncing game ball to collide with the glass plate and damage it It is possible to prevent the person from feeling uncomfortable, and since the bouncing region 10 is provided on the upper portions of the leaf springs 6a to 6e without providing the obstacle nail 8 or the like, the bouncing effect is lost. In addition, the interest in the game can be significantly increased.

Further, since the game ball stays in the game section 4a for a long time, the player can be satisfied.
