Next, the operation of the prize ball processing apparatus of the pachinko gaming machine according to the embodiment will be described. In the pachinko machine of the present embodiment configured as described above, a predetermined game board 19 is accommodated and set in the holding frame 4 of the front frame 2, and the glass door 12 and the upper ball tray 14 are respectively set to be closed. It is offered to the game in the state that it is. Then, in the game in which the pachinko balls in the upper ball tray 14 are hit one by one into the game surface of the game board 19 by the related action of the hitting ball launching device 16 and the ball feeding device 17, each prize tool (not shown) is used. In connection with the fact that the winning safe ball is detected and processed one by one by the safe ball detection processing device 29 of the mechanism set board 25, a predetermined number of prize balls are paid out from the prize ball payout device 33 of the same set board 25. Then, it is discharged from the main discharge path 34 toward the discharge port 9 of the holding frame 4.

In such a pachinko machine, when the upper bowl 14 is in the closed set state, the supply / discharge cylinder 40 is aligned with the discharge port 9 of the holding frame 4 in a front-rear state. . Then, as shown in FIG.
2 is located in the recess 44 of the supply cylinder 40, the regulating member 50 engages and presses the respective support rods 52 with the corresponding protrusion 42, whereby the supply port 41 is opened. And is restricted to the open position where the regulating member 50 is displaced upward by being swung forward. As a result, the outlet 4 and the outlet 4
1 is communicated with a predetermined level difference so that the entire prize ball path is maintained in the original open communication state.

Under these circumstances, the prize ball discharged from the main discharge path 34 toward the discharge port 9 as described above is hereinafter referred to as the discharge port 9.
From the supply port 41 of the supply cylinder 40, and the upper movement position of the regulating member 50 (for example, 12 to
(13 mm position), and is quickly fed into the storage portion 14a of the upper ball tray 14 through the regulating rod 53. In this prize ball passing state, the discharge port 9 is connected to the supply port 41.
The prize sphere that has entered and interferes (abuts) with the regulating rod 53 is appropriately mitigated in its passing force and is statically fed into the storage portion 14a. Thus, when the number of pachinko balls (including prize balls) in the upper ball plate 14 is relatively small, it is prevented that the prize balls supplied to the storage portion 14a jump out of the plate with excessive force. The prize ball is effectively prevented from falling and scattering.

When the opening / closing support plate 18 is opened for inspection or repair of the game auxiliary board 7 or the opening / closing support plate 18,
As shown in FIG. 5, the contact between the protrusions 42 on both sides is released by the separation between the supply cylinder 40 and the discharge port 9, and the regulating member 50 swings and returns backward by its own weight. At this time, since the regulating rod 53 is returned to a position below the supply port 41 and the respective supporting rods 52 are locked by the stopper 46, the regulating member 50 moves backward even if pushed backward by the prize ball. Is prevented, so that the prize ball can be suitably prevented from falling.

Further, as the opening / closing support plate 18 is opened, the outlet 9
The prize balls that were stored near the upstream of, as shown in FIG. 5,
It may fall forward from the outlet 9. The spilled ball is suitably received by the ball receiving portion 70 of the protection member 55 facing the front and lower part of the discharge port 9, is quickly discharged to the collection path 10, and finally passes through the collection port 11. It is discharged to the lower ball tray 15 side through 36, and it is suitably prevented from falling outside the machine. With the opening and closing support plate 18 opened,
The protection member 55 can be opened in a horizontal opening rotation type to perform inspection and repair of the speaker and the like.

[0022]

Another embodiment In the award ball processing apparatus according to the present invention, the regulating member is not limited to the above-mentioned bent-formed product made of a wire-shaped material, but a metal plate as shown in FIG. It is also possible to adopt a plate-like molded product formed by molding.
In the regulating member 82, the regulating rod 53 and the supporting rod 52 are widened, and a locking portion 52 a formed by winding the tip of the supporting rod 52 is formed on the supporting piece 43 of the supply / discharge cylinder 40. After being aligned, the rivet-shaped support shaft 83 is inserted and locked. Notches 84, 84 are formed inside the pair of support pieces 43, 43 of the supply / discharge cylinder 40 at positions corresponding to the support rods 52, 52 of the regulating member 82, and are regulated by the notches 84, 84. A stopper 82 for opening is formed in a part of each notch 84 while allowing the member 82 to swing forward.
Even in this configuration, when the opening / closing support plate 18 is closed, the projections 42 protruding on both sides of the discharge port 9 abut against both support rods 52 of the control member 82, and swing the control member 82 forward. While holding it in the open position to allow the prize ball to pass through,
The momentum of the passed prize ball can be appropriately reduced. Also, when the opening / closing support plate 18 is opened, as shown in FIG.
Since the abutting balls 6 and 46 are further restricted from rotating backward, the prize balls in the supply cylinder 40 can be prevented from spilling from the supply port 41. In addition, in the open position, the rear surface of the regulating rod portion 53 having a required width in the shape of a plate is directed obliquely downward, so that the award sphere that comes into contact always bounces downward in a certain direction, and the momentum is reduced. In the closed position, for example, the supply port 4
Even if the opening height of 1 (the vertical dimension of the outlet 41) is large,
The vertical spacing can be made smaller than the diameter of the pachinko ball.

The regulating member is not limited to the above-described metal wire-like material or plate, but may be a molded product made of a non-metal such as aluminum or an integrally molded product made of a synthetic resin such as plastic. Good.

[0024]

As described above, according to the prize ball processing apparatus of the pachinko game machine according to the present invention, the upper ball plate for the game is set to the normally closed set state, and the prize ball path (discharge) is set. In a state where the outlet and the supply port of the supply cylinder) are aligned and communicated, the restricting member is held at the tilting open position where the prize ball can pass through by the projection. As a result, the prize balls dispensed from the prize ball dispensing device are discharged from the discharge port to the upper ball plate through the supply port of the supply cylinder, and in this process, the momentum is reduced by interfering with the regulating member. Since it is slowly discharged to the upper bowl, scattering to the outside of the bowl is suitably prevented.

When the upper bowl is opened due to inspection or repair, the supply member of the supply cylinder is displaced away from the discharge port of the winning ball path, so that the regulating member is released from the projection. And return to the closed position by its own weight, and the rearward opening is locked by the locking portion. Thus, the prize balls stored in the supply cylinder are stopped by the restricting member, and are prevented from spilling to the back side of the supply port. On the other hand, when the prize ball stored near the upstream of the discharge port falls down forward with the opening of the upper ball tray , the ball is finally received by the ball receiving portion of the protection member of the speaker, and finally the lower ball is received. Since the prize ball is discharged to the ball tray side, the prize ball is preferably prevented from falling out of the machine.

In particular, the flow-out processing device of the present invention comprises a regulating member which can be easily manufactured and which can open and close the supply port of the supply cylinder .
Open position droop shaped closed position before傾状 the feed outlet of the feed out tube
Despite having a very simple structure that only hangs so that it can swing over the existing
And biasing member such as it is possible to obtain the same effect as restricting device that have a. Further, the number of parts is reduced and the assembling is facilitated, so that there is an advantage that the manufacturing cost can be reduced and the size can be reduced.
