BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a hit ball return prevention device for a pachinko machine which prevents a hit ball shot into a game board from returning to a launch guide path through a launch guide path formed by inner and outer bands.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art When a ball launched from a launch device returns on a launch guideway, it collides with a ball launched next,
Not only does it prevent continuous firing, but it also needs to be avoided because this collision can damage the glass. In particular, in the case of a ball that has a low firing force and returns in the middle of the taxiway, it generally retreats from the foul mouth before the next hit ball is fired and collisions are often avoided, and the impact force is small even if it hits However, when the ball once hit into the game board from the taxiway is returned, the ball is hit by the obstacle nail and returns, and the head at the time of collision is increased, which is dangerous. Under such circumstances, the present applicant has devised a means for preventing a return ball, and has previously proposed an effective preventive measure based on Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 3-30138. The prevention device according to this proposed device has a tongue made of an elastic body at the tip of the inner band, and the hit ball that has been fired pushes into the game board by pushing the tongue off and returns from the game board. In such a case, an obstacle is prevented and the intrusion is prevented, and the intended effect is sufficiently achieved.

[0003]

However, the prevention device according to the present invention has a problem in that it is troublesome to attach a tongue piece for preventing the ball from returning to the tip of the inner band, resulting in a lack of workability. In particular, the tongue piece according to the proposal is directly attached to the inner band, or is attached together with attaching the inner band to the game board,
Further, since the tongue piece, which is a small part, is to be mounted as it is, fine work of the fingertip is required, which hinders accurate and quick mounting. In view of such problems, the present invention has been devised in order to achieve quick and accurate assembly and enhance manufacturability.
Furthermore, in addition to the mounting of the tongue piece, it is intended to provide a hit ball return preventing device in a pachinko machine which can be mounted with a lighting unit for display or illumination provided in a game unit inside the inner band. is there.

[0004]
