2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, a prize ball replenishing device for replenishing a prize ball supplied from a replenishment path of a pachinko island stand to a prize ball tank installed on the back of a pachinko machine supplies a certain number of prize balls at a time. There is a constant replenishment method for continuously supplying a prize ball, and a constant replenishment method for continuously supplying a prize ball. Regarding the latter method, the present applicant has previously proposed Japanese Patent Application Nos. 1-287678 and 2-405050 (hereinafter also referred to as prior art).

The prior art disclosed in Japanese Patent Application No. 1-287678 and Japanese Patent Application No. 2-405050 is a supply cylinder which faces the inside of a prize ball tank on the back of a pachinko machine at the end of an alignment passage of a prize ball supply device. And a pivoting supply member having a bifurcated operating arm is attached, and a stopper pin provided on a ball stopper member driven by the rotation of the rotation supply member in accordance with the opening / closing operation of the front frame of the pachinko machine enters the alignment passage. Alternatively, it is configured to control the flow of the prize ball from the alignment passage to the supply cylinder by retracting.

[0004]

However, in the above-mentioned prior art, when the front frame of the pachinko machine is opened and the stopper pin is made to enter the alignment passage, the pin remains in the supply cylinder after the stopper pin. The prize ball rotates in the same manner as the supply cylinder while being stored in the supply cylinder by the downward biasing force of the operating arm, and spills from the discharge port provided at the lower end of the supply cylinder during the rotation operation. There was a problem of falling out of the prize ball tank. As a result, troublesome work of picking up the prize balls that have fallen and scattered inside and outside the pachinko island stand may occur, or the prize balls may be rusted as they are left as they are, and also stand as a prize ball after counting. For example, there is an inconvenience that the accuracy of the count value in the management computer cannot be ensured, and such an inconvenience causes, for example, an error between the number of hits set by the hall side and the number of premium balls actually acquired by the player. Early improvement was desired because it would cause trouble and impair the soundness of hall management.

The present invention has been made in view of such inconvenience, and it is an object of the present invention to ensure that a prize ball counted and introduced from a replenishment path is held in a state of flowing down and a state of not flowing down. The pachinko machine is to be led to the prize ball tank of the pachinko machine without falling along with the opening and closing operation of the front frame of the pachinko machine, to ensure the accuracy of the count value in the management computer and to improve the soundness of hall management. An object of the present invention is to provide a prize ball replenishing device on a pachinko ball path that can be used.

[0006]

In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, the present invention is to continuously transfer a prize ball supplied from a replenishment path of a pachinko island stand to a prize ball tank installed on the back of a pachinko machine. Prize ball replenishing device, the prize ball replenishing device comprises a support table having an alignment passage for aligning and flowing down the prize balls, and the prize when the front frame of the pachinko machine is opened and closed on the support table. A supply cylinder engaged with the side wall of the ball tank and rotatably supported alternately between a first state and a second state and communicating with the alignment passage and having a tip end facing the inside of the prize ball tank; And a rotation supply member having an operating arm formed in a forked shape, and a side surface of one of the bearing portions that supports the rotation supply member is eccentric from the rotation center of the rotation supply member. With the formed arcuate curved locking piece protruding, A ball stopper member is formed on the supply cylinder, and a stopper piece provided with a locking claw that engages with the curved locking piece is formed on the ball stopper member. When shifting from the first state to the second state or vice versa, the locking claw is guided by the curved locking piece to change the distance of the rotation supply member from the rotation center. At the same time, the flow of the prize ball from the supply cylinder is allowed in the first state, and is prevented in the second state.

[0007]

According to the present invention, when the front frame of the pachinko machine is closed and the replenishing cylinder of the rotary replenishing member is in the first state facing the prize ball tank, the ball stopper member formed on the replenishing cylinder is closed. The stopper piece is located at a predetermined position (for example, the closest position) from the center of rotation of the rotating supply member by the engagement between the curved locking piece and the locking claw, and allows the prize ball to flow down from the supply cylinder. In addition, when the rotation supply member is rotated by opening the front frame of the pachinko machine, since the curved locking piece is formed in an arc shape eccentric from the rotation center of the rotation supply member, it is provided on the stopper piece. The locking claw rotates along the curved locking piece while changing the distance from the rotation center of the rotation supply member.
When the rotating supply member rotates to the second state in which the supply cylinder does not face the prize ball tank, the stopper piece of the ball stopper member is moved to a predetermined position (for example, at a position farthest from the rotation center of the rotating supply member). ) To prevent the prize ball from flowing down from the supply cylinder.

Thus, when shifting from the first state to the second state, the ball stopping member is formed in the replenishing cylinder in the final falling process of the prize ball by the prize ball replenishing device. Since the stopper piece is provided, not only the prize balls in the alignment passage but also the prize balls in the supply cylinder fall from the discharge port of the supply cylinder and fall out of the prize ball tank during the turning operation of the rotating supply member. Disappears. Therefore, the counted prize balls can be reliably led out to the prize ball tank of the pachinko machine, and the accuracy of the count value in the management computer can be improved. In addition, the troublesome work of picking up the prize ball that has fallen and scattered inside and outside the pachinko island stand does not occur, and the prize ball does not rust when left as it is.

Also, at the time of transition from the first state to the second state, or vice versa, an arcuate curved locking piece protruding from a side surface of one of the bearing portions that supports the rotation supply member. When,
The engagement of the ball stopper member provided on the supply cylinder with the locking claw formed on the stopper piece guides the rotation operation of the rotation supply member. Even if rattling occurs in the bearing portion, the state where the prize ball flows down and the state where it does not flow down can be reliably maintained.

The lower end portion of the stopper piece 10 is in contact with the lower end portion of the second ball stopper member 6. Also, the stopper pin 22 of the first ball stopper 24 is in a state of being retracted from the alignment passage 40 because the head of the engaging cam 19 and the convex portion 24a on the first ball stopper 24 are in contact with each other. ing.
Therefore, the prize balls in the prize ball supply device 1 flow down from the discharge port 9 and fall into the prize ball tank 53 as shown in FIG.

Next, when the front frame 51 of the pachinko machine B is moved from the state shown in FIG.
When the supply cylinder 3 is engaged with the supply cylinder 3 and the rotation supply member 2 is rotated clockwise, and then the engagement between the supply cylinder 3 and the side wall 53a is released, the spring 18 is attached. As shown in FIG. 5, the rotation replenishing member 2 is brought into a second state in which the replenishing cylinder 3 is in a horizontal state by the force. At this time, the locking claw 10 located at the lower limit point P2 of the curved locking piece 13
a and 10b rotate so as to slide on the curved surface of the curved locking piece 13 while pinching the curved locking piece 13, and the upper limit point P1 of the curved locking piece 13
It reaches the position and stops. The distances S1 and S2 between the points P1 and P2 and the center point P of the rotation replenishing member 2 are as follows.
It is formed longer. Therefore, the sliding groove 11 slides while being guided by the shaft member 14 until the upper end thereof comes into contact with the shaft member 14, and the stopper piece 10 interlocked with the sliding groove.
Has its lower end protruding from the inside of the lower end of the second ball stopper member 6, and the opening width of the discharge port 9 is set to be equal to or less than the ball diameter. Also,
At the same time, the engagement cam 19 also rotates, and the head of the engagement cam 19 and the lower projection 24a of the first ball stopper 24 come into contact with each other. To stop the flow of the prize ball. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 7, the prize balls in the alignment passage 40 are supplied to the supply cylinder 3 by the stopper pins 22 of the first ball stopper 24.
To the supply cylinder 3 at the tip of the stopper pin 22
Of the prize balls remaining in the prize ball tank 53 is stopped by the stopper pieces 10 of the second ball stopper members 6. Therefore, the prize ball of the prize ball replenishing device 1 does not fall out of the prize ball tank 53 by dropping out of the discharge port 9 during the turning operation of the turning replenishing member 2 with the opening of the front frame 51 of the pachinko machine B. Absent.

When a predetermined number of prize balls are paid out to the player and the striking solenoid 43 is excited based on a striking signal derived from a management computer (not shown), the stopper portion 44 is moved to the alignment passage. The prize ball is stopped from flowing into the prize ball 40 and no more prize balls are paid out from the prize ball supply device 1 to the prize ball tank 53.

As is clear from the above description, the prize ball replenishing apparatus 1 in the pachinko ball path of the present embodiment has the front frame 51 of the pachinko machine B closed and the replenishing cylinder 3 of the rotary replenishing member 2 having a substantially vertical shape. In the first state, the stopper pin 22 of the first ball stopping member 24 moves from the alignment passage 40,
The stopper pieces 10 of the second stopper member 6 are also retracted from the discharge ports 9, respectively, and allow the prize balls to flow down from the supply cylinder 3. Then, when the front frame 51 of the pachinko machine B is opened and the rotary replenishing member 2 is rotated and the replenishing cylinder 3 is in the second horizontal state, the stopper pin 22 of the first ball stopper member 24 is set.
, And the stopper pieces 10 of the second stopper member 6 also protrude to the discharge port 9 to prevent the prize balls from flowing down from the supply cylinder 3. At the time of transition from the first state to the second state or vice versa, the stopper piece 10 is formed such that the locking claws 10a and 10b provided on the stopper piece 10 It rotates and moves along the curved locking piece 13 formed in an arc shape. That is, the rotation of the rotation replenishing member 2 is guided by the engagement between the curved locking piece 13 and the locking claws 10a and 10b. Even if rattling occurs, the prize ball can be reliably maintained in a state in which it flows down and a state in which it does not flow down. Moreover, the stopper piece 10
Is formed on the ball stopper member 6 of the supply cylinder 3 in the final flow process of the prize ball in the prize ball supply device 1 and controls the opening and closing of the discharge port 9 of the supply cylinder 3. Needless to say, the prize ball in the supply cylinder 3 does not fall out of the prize ball tank 53 by spilling from the discharge port 9 of the supply cylinder 3 during the turning operation of the rotating supply member 2. Accordingly, the counted prize balls can be reliably led out to the prize ball tank 53 of the pachinko machine B, and the accuracy of the count value in the management computer can be improved. Further, the troublesome work of collecting and collecting the prize balls that have fallen and scattered inside and outside of the pachinko island stand A does not occur, and the prize balls do not rust when left as they are. Further, the stopper piece 10
The sliding groove 11 formed in the stopper piece 10, the shaft member 14 protruding from the second ball stopping member 6, the locking claws 10 a, 10 b protruding from the stopper piece 10, and the second ball stopping member 6 Since the position is regulated by the perforated hole 12, even if the engagement between the curved locking piece 13 and the locking claws 10a, 10b has looseness or some play, the first state and the second state can be achieved. A predetermined position in the state can be accurately taken.

When shifting from the first state to the second state, at the same time as the stopper piece 10 of the second ball stopper member 6 is moved, the stopper pin 22 provided on the first ball stopper member 24 is moved. Move into the alignment passage 40,
The prize balls in the alignment passage 40 are stopped.
That is, the prize balls in the alignment passage 40 are
As a result, the prize ball remaining in the supply cylinder 3 after the stopper pin 22 is stopped by the stopper piece 10. Therefore, the stopper pin 22
As a result, most of the prize balls are stopped, and even if the prize balls after the stopper pin 22 remain in the supply cylinder 3, the stopper pieces 10 reliably stop the prize balls. Accordingly, by using the stopper piece 10 and the stopper pin 22 together, it is possible to more reliably prevent the stopper member 10 from dropping out of the prize ball tank 53 from the discharge port 9 of the supply cylinder 3 during the rotation operation of the rotation supply member 2. Thus, the same effect as described above can be obtained.

Also, by increasing the accuracy of the management computer, the error between the number of hits set by the hall side, which is the scheduled end of the pachinko machine B, and the prize ball actually obtained by the player is eliminated, and trouble is prevented. can do.

Since the striking solenoid 43 and the replenishment counter 57 are provided at separate positions, even if noise occurs due to the excitation state of the striking solenoid 43, the replenishment counter 57 malfunctions due to the noise. In addition, there is an advantage that the concentration of the wiring inside the pachinko island stand A can be reduced.

Although the embodiment has been described above, in the above-described embodiment, the branching device 55 is formed so as to be aligned in one step at the stage of taking in the prize balls from the supply path 54, but this is not limitative. It may be formed so as to be lined up with a plurality of lines such as two or three. In this case, the prize ball replenishing device 1 can be freely changed in design based on the above-described embodiment as long as it is within the scope of a utility model registration claim. Needless to mention.
