As shown in FIG. 26, the ball guide body 98 is inclined forward and downward, the upper surface opening 102 a of the ball guide path 102 is shifted with respect to the lower surface opening 93 b of the ball passage 93, and a convex portion on the rear side of the base 99. The portion 104 is the lower surface opening 9 of the ball passage 93.
3b is partially closed. Therefore, in this case, the portion of the convex portion 104 on the rear side is used as the regulating portion 110 constituting the regulating means.

Next, the operation of the above configuration will be described. Now, as shown in FIGS. 22 and 23, in a state where the ball guide body 98 is rotated to the first position in the horizontal direction, the ball lending machine main body 1 is rotated.
When a coin is inserted into a coin insertion slot (not shown), a predetermined number of balls are sent out from the ball feed port 4 through the ball supply path 3. The ball is guided to the ball guide path 102 of the ball guide body 98 through the ball passage 93 of the cover member 91, exits from the ball guide path 102 to the guide portion 100, passes through the guide portion 100, and has a ball outlet at the tip end. From the right side of the pachinko machine 2
a.

On the other hand, from the state shown in FIG.
When the ball guide 8 is rotated in the direction of arrow A and positioned at the second forward position, the ball guide 98 is inclined forward and downward as shown by the solid line in FIG. 9
3b is in a state where a part thereof is closed by the restricting portion 110 of the base portion 99.

When coins are inserted into the coin insertion slot of the ball lending machine main body 1 in such a state, the balls sent out from the ball outlet 4 are guided to the ball passage 93 of the cover member 91. However, since the lower surface opening 93b of the ball passage 93 is partially closed by the regulating portion 110, the base portion 99
To the ball guide path 102 side is prevented. Therefore,
In this state, the ball is prevented from falling from the ball outlet of the ball guide 98.

When the guide portion 100 of the ball guide 98 is lifted (displaced) in the direction of arrow D in the state where the ball guide 98 has been rotated to the second position, the two-dot chain line in FIG. As shown, the upper surface opening 102a of the ball guide path 102 communicates with the lower surface opening 93b of the ball passage 93, and the ball stopped by the regulating portion 110 passes through the ball guide path 102 from the opening 93b. Since it is allowed to exit to the guide section 100, the guide section 10
0, the ball is supplied to the player from the ball outlet at the tip.

When the lifting operation of the ball guide body 98 with respect to the guide portion 100 is released, the ball guide body 98 is returned to the second position (in a downwardly inclined state shown by the solid line in FIG. 26) by its own weight.

In the third embodiment, the same effect as in the first embodiment can be obtained.

[0076]

As is apparent from the above description, according to the present invention, the ball can be directly supplied to the tray of the adjacent pachinko machine in a state where the ball guide is rotated to the first horizontal position. On the other hand, in a state where the ball guide is rotated to the forward second position, the ball is prevented from dropping from the ball outlet by the restricting means, and in this state, the restriction is performed based on a manual operation of the ball guide. Is released and the ball can be supplied to the player.
Therefore, it is possible to switch between a case where the ball is directly supplied from the ball outlet to the tray and a case where the ball is supplied to the player with one ball guide, thereby simplifying the configuration . Only
Also does not require a special member to release regulations.
There is an excellent effect that the layer configuration can be simplified .
