DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an object acquisition game apparatus for acquiring an object such as a prize.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art For example, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No.
There is a catcher game device disclosed in, for example, Japanese Patent Publication No. 112446, in which a player uses a hand mechanism to capture a prize desired by a player from a prize hanging portion on which a number of prizes are hung.

[0003]

In such a catcher game device, the prize is grasped by the claws of the hand mechanism. Therefore, in order to obtain the prize, a desired prize is grasped by the claws of the hand mechanism. You have to grab it. However, the prize is not always surely grasped, and even if the prize is grabbed, the prize may slip through between the claws of the hand mechanism and drop while moving the hand mechanism to the prize collection port in the apparatus main body. .

[0004] As it is difficult to obtain a prize as described above, the joy is great for those who have obtained the prize, and the desire to challenge the next time can be stimulated, but for those who have not been able to obtain the prize, it is thought that it has been obtained once. Since you have missed the prize, unsatisfactory feelings and regrets remain.

[0005] Therefore, by keeping the moving speed of the hand mechanism at a relatively low speed so that the prize does not slip through between the claws of the hand mechanism, the prize does not easily fall off during the movement to the prize collection port. It is like that.

However, if the moving speed of the hand mechanism is set to a relatively low speed in this way, a player who feels annoyed by the moving speed of the hand mechanism, in other words, the progress speed of the game, will come out. I think that the.

[0007] As described above, in the conventional object acquisition game device as described above, since the operation is difficult, the prize which is the object which is considered to have been acquired once is missed until the final acquisition. Sometimes. Therefore, the degree of discouragement is large for some players. In addition, the progress speed of the game may be bothersome.

In the catcher game apparatus described in the above publication, the hand mechanism only moves straight in the X-axis, Y-axis, and Z-axis directions, and there is a feeling that playability is exerted. The present invention has been made in view of such problems of the related art, and the problem to be solved is that it is full of amusement, easy to operate, and it is possible to miss a prize once obtained on the way. It is an object of the present invention to provide an object acquisition game apparatus which does not cause a player to feel annoying about the speed of the game.

[0009]

The present invention employs the following means in order to solve the above-mentioned problems. That is, claim 1
The object acquisition game device according to the present invention, a holding body for stably holding the prize at the holding position, a beating body for hitting the prize so as to leave the holding position, and a beating body
Relatively close to and away from the holding position of the prize
And a moving mechanism for moving in a moving direction . It will be explained each component below. (Holder) holding body, holds it to the prize stable, outgoing
The prize preferably has a structure in which the prize is detached from the holder when the projectile hits the prize. For example, there is one with a protruding bar to which a key ring is attached. (Striking Body) The striking body may be any body that rotates clockwise or counterclockwise around the desired axis about the desired axis as the center of rotation, and has a tip that hits the prize, such as a hammer. In short, anything may be used as long as the beating body can be rotated around the axis and the prize can be hit by the centrifugal force at that time. (Moving mechanism) The moving mechanism relatively moves the beating body toward the prize and
Anything can be used as long as it can be moved in the direction to move away .

According to a second aspect of the present invention, there is provided an object acquisition game apparatus, comprising: a holder for stably holding a prize at the holding position;
The tip is inclined toward the direction of gravity, and the tip relatively approaches and is far from the holding position of the premium, and moves from the base end to the tip along the orbit body along the orbit body. A slide body for hitting the prize when the tip is approaching the holding position. Hereinafter, each component will be described. (Holding Body) It is preferable that the holding body has a structure in which the prize is stably held therein, and the prize is detached from the holding body when the projectile hits the prize. For example, there is one with a protruding bar to which a key ring is attached. (Track) The track may have a linear or curved shape as long as the slide can move from the base end to the tip along the track. However, when the slide body moves to the tip of the track body along the track body and the tip of the track body relatively approaches the holding position of the prize, the slide body hits the prize so that the slide body can hit the prize. The tip approaches the holding position. (Slide body) The slide body may be anything as long as it slides on the track body, but preferably slides down by rotation of the wheels.

According to a third aspect of the present invention, there is provided an object acquisition game apparatus according to the present invention, wherein a projectile which is fired at an object, guides the projectile and is relatively close to and far from the object. At least a guide body, and at the same time as the timing when the projectile is guided by the guide body and located at the lowermost end of the guide body, the relative distance between the object and the lowermost end of the track body When the position is in the proximity state, the projectile hits the object by the power of the projectile at that time, thereby acquiring the object or a predetermined right related to the object. Hereinafter, each component will be described. (Projectile) The projectile may be anything as long as it slides on the guide, but it is preferable that the projectile slides down by rotation of the wheels. (Guiding Body) The guiding body may have a linear shape or a curved shape as long as the projecting body can move from the base end to the forefront along the guiding body. However, if the projectile moves to the forefront along the orbital body and the relative position between the object and the forefront of the guide is close to each other, the guide will be capable of hitting the target with the projectile. Are configured so that the tip of the object approaches the object.

Here, "close" means that the distance between the target and the leading end of the guide is short enough that the projectile guided by the guide touches the target at least. The target object is a prize or an operation switch for turning on a lamp, for example, a means for notifying a player by being beaten by a projectile that the right to obtain the prize has been acquired. It is.

According to a fourth aspect of the present invention, there is provided an object acquisition game apparatus according to the present invention, wherein a holding body for holding the object, and the object held by the holding body, which is located higher than the object and is lowered as necessary. A descending body that guides the descending body downward from the height, and at least a track body that is relatively close to and far from the object in a predetermined direction, and descends through the track body. When the relative position between the object and the lowermost end of the orbital body is close to the timing when the descending body is located at the lowermost end of the orbital body, the descent of the lowering body at that time The force causes the descending body to hit the object, thereby disengaging the object from the holding position and acquiring the object.
Hereinafter, each component will be described. (Holding Body) It is preferable that the holding body has a structure in which the object is stably held therein, and the object is detached from the holding body when the descending body hits the object. For example, there is one with a protruding bar to which a key ring is attached. (Orbital Body) The shape of the orbital body may be linear or curved as long as the descent body can move from the base end to the forefront along the guide body. However, if the descending body moves to the foremost point along the track and the relative position between the object and the guide and the foremost point of the guide are close to each other, the orbit of the track is so large that the descending body can hit the object. The tip is configured to approach the object.

Here, "close" means that the distance between the object and the tip of the orbital body is short enough that the descending body guided to the orbital body touches the object at least. The target object is a prize or an operation switch for turning on a lamp, for example, a means for notifying a player by being beaten by a projectile that the right to obtain the prize has been acquired. It is. (Descent body) The descent body may be anything as long as it slides down the track body, but is preferably one that slides down by rotation of the wheels. <Additional configuration in the present invention according to claim 4> The described object acquisition game apparatus of the present invention includes the above-mentioned essential components, but is established even when the components are specifically as follows. The additional components are as follows. (1) The track body is a linear body whose tip side is inclined downward (corresponding to claim 5). (2) The track body has a lifting mechanism that lifts the descending body that has descended to a position higher than the object along the track body (corresponding to claim 6). (3) The track body has a stop mechanism for stopping the movement of the descending body at the lifting position when the descending body is pulled up to a predetermined position of the track body by the lifting mechanism, and the stop mechanism is played. A release mechanism for releasing by a person (corresponding to claim 7). (4) The descending body has a slide body that slides on the track body, and a hammer body that is swingably attached to the slide body in the longitudinal direction. A blocking plate is provided at the lowermost end of the track body to prevent the descending body from proceeding further when it reaches the lowermost point of the track body via the intermediate member (corresponding to claim 8). (5) When the descent body is lifted to the predetermined position by the lifting mechanism, a swing-up mechanism that swings the hammer body to a swing-up position in the swing range is provided (corresponding to claim 9). . (6) When the descent body is lifted to the predetermined position along the track body by the lifting mechanism, the hammer lock mechanism that locks the hammer body at a swinging position in a swing range thereof, and the descent body includes the hammer lock mechanism. The track body is provided with a hammer lock release mechanism for releasing lock by the hammer lock mechanism when the track body reaches the lowermost end thereof (corresponding to claim 10). (7) The track body is a lifting mechanism (8) The holding body is a ring body arranged so as to surround the track body and the lifting mechanism. The plurality of the objects are locked at predetermined intervals in the circumferential direction thereof (corresponding to claim 12). (9) The plurality of ring bodies are arranged at equal intervals in the vertical direction (corresponding to claim 13). (10) The ring body is rotated around the track body and the elevating mechanism by a driving mechanism that drives the ring body (claim 14).

Therefore, according to the object acquisition game apparatus of the present invention, the beating body that hits the prize so as to separate from the holding position relatively approaches the holding position of the prize.
The moving mechanism for moving the moving mechanism in the direction of moving away from the moving mechanism leads to whether or not the operating technique of the moving mechanism is good or bad. For this reason, how to acquire the technique is a key to obtaining the prize, and the pleasure of the player when acquiring the prize by learning the technique is great . ( Corresponding to claim 1).

The orbital body has its tip inclined toward the direction of gravity and its tip relatively approaching and far from the holding position of the premium. Further, the slide body is hit when the tip of the track body is approaching the holding position of the prize. Therefore, good timing of aiming for a prize is a secret of obtaining a prize and requires a technique. In addition, since the speed of movement of the slide body along the track body depends on the degree of inclination of the track body, it is necessary to consider how long the slide body moves on the track body. . Therefore, the prize acquisition technique becomes sophisticated, and the joy of the player when the prize is acquired is further increased (corresponding to claim 2).

Since the projectile is fired aiming at a predetermined object, there is a shooting element and the game is full of play. Also, in contrast to the timing when the projectile is guided by the guide and located at the forefront of the guide, when the relative position between the object and the lowermost end of the guide is close, Due to the power of the projectile at that time, the projectile hits the object, thereby acquiring the object or a predetermined right related to this object, so that the timing of aiming at the object is good at acquiring the object. Or the secret to acquiring rights over the object and requires techniques. For this reason, the pleasure of the player when these objects are acquired is further increased. Since the object can be reliably beaten as long as the timing is met, the object and the right acquired thereby are not missed on the way, and the player is not discouraged by the escape (corresponding to claim 3).

The object is hit by the descending force of the descending body located higher than the object, and the object is separated from the holding position and is acquired, so that the descending force of the descending body is further increased. By raising the descent position of the descent body in the orbital body so as to increase, the descent power is further increased and a game full of speed can be enjoyed.

In addition, at the timing when the descending body is guided by the track body and positioned at the lowermost end of the track body,
When the relative position between the object and the orbital body is close to each other, the descending body hits the object by the descending force of the descending body at that time, thereby acquiring the object. It can be said that skillful timing of aiming at an object is a secret to acquiring the object and requires techniques. Therefore, the pleasure of the player when acquiring the object is great.
Moreover, the impact force and the sense of speed at which the descending body hits the object are also attractive. Then, since the target can be reliably beaten as long as the timing is met, the target obtained by this is not missed on the way, and the player is not discouraged by the escape (corresponding to claim 4).

Since the orbital body is a linear body whose tip end is inclined downward, the descending body descends from a high place to the lowest end at a stretch. Therefore, a sense of speed overflows and it is more fun (corresponding to claim 5).

Since the track body has a lifting mechanism for pulling down the descending body along the track body to a position higher than the target object, it is possible to play repeatedly even after the descending body descends (corresponding to claim 6). .

The track body has a stop mechanism for stopping the movement of the descending body at the raised position when the descending body is pulled up to a predetermined position along the track body by the lifting mechanism. Since the player has the release mechanism for releasing the mechanism, the timing for lowering the descending body can be set.

Since the descending body has a slide body that slides on the track body, the descending body descends while sliding along the track body. For this reason, the sense of speed is further increased and it is interesting. In addition, the descending body has a hammer body attached to the slide body so as to swing at least in the longitudinal direction of the slide body, and a descending body is provided at the lowermost end of the track body via the track body at the lowermost end thereof. When the descending body hits the blocking plate, the hammer body swings forward in the longitudinal direction of the slide body due to the inertia force at that time because the stopping body is provided when the falling body comes into contact with the blocking body. Move. At this time, if there is an object in front of the slide body with good timing, the object is beaten by the hammer body, whereby the object can be separated from the holding position and the object can be obtained (claim) Corresponds to item 8).

When the descent body is lifted to the predetermined position by the lifting mechanism, the hammer body is provided with a swing-up mechanism for swinging the hammer body to a swing-up position in its swing range. The hitting power is further increased. Therefore, even if the hammer body touches the object a little, the impact force at that time is large, so that the object is more easily separated from the holding position and the possibility of acquiring the object is increased (corresponding to claim 9).

When the descent body is lifted to the predetermined position along the track body by the lifting mechanism, a hammer lock mechanism for locking the hammer body at a swing-up position in the swing range is provided on the track body. Because it is equipped, the hammer body does not swing freely. Also, the track body has a hammer lock release mechanism for releasing the lock by the hammer lock mechanism when the descending body reaches the lowermost end along the track body.
The hammer body swings at the lowermost end (corresponding to claim 10).

Since the orbital body is moved in the vertical direction by the lifting mechanism, when the objects are arranged in the vertical direction, it is possible to enjoy the game by aiming at the object at a desired position in the vertical direction ( (Corresponding to claim 11).

The holding body is a ring body arranged so as to surround the track body and the elevating mechanism, and the ring body is provided at a predetermined interval in the circumferential direction of the object. Are locked, so that the number of the objects increases, and the possibility of obtaining a prize increases accordingly, which is fun (corresponding to claim 12).

Since a plurality of the ring bodies are arranged at predetermined intervals in the vertical direction, if the intervals are narrowed to provide a large number of objects, the objects are mounted over the entire surface of the cylindrical body. As many as possible, the possibility of obtaining a prize further increases (corresponding to claim 13).

The ring body is rotated around the track body and the elevating mechanism by a driving mechanism for driving the ring body, so that the ring body has a fun and moving appearance (corresponding to claim 14).

That is, the support roller 60 includes a roller body 60b that comes into contact with the upper surface of the flat plate ring 44, and a roller support 60s that rotatably supports the roller body 60b and fixes the roller body 60b to the lower surface of the placement table 58. The support roller 60 is not always in contact with the flat plate ring 44, but is in contact with the flat ring 44 when play occurs.

The upper surface of the mounting table 58 has four areas divided into four by the horizontal center lines L1 and L2 shown in FIG. In the right area R and the left area L located on the back side of these four areas, a set of the support column 50, the movable section 52, and the drive section 54 is disposed.

Since the same support 50, movable section 52 and drive section 54 are used in the left and right areas LR, only the section related to one right area R will be described in detail below. Regarding those related to the area L, the same parts are denoted by the same reference numerals unless otherwise specified, and the description is omitted.

(Post 50) The post 50 guides the movable portion 52 in the up-down direction, and as shown in FIG. 7, two columns forming a gate-shaped post extending upward from the placing table 58. It consists of 50l and 50r. The left and right pillars 5
As shown in FIG. 7, 0l and 50r function as rail bodies on which rollers 74u and 74d, which will be described later, of the movable section 52 run.

As shown in FIG. 4, the strut 50 is placed on the front of the prize machine 1 such that the outer end of the ceiling surface 50c faces the joint 37R between the ends of the decorative plate 21b when viewed in a plane. (In the column 50 of the left area L, the outer end of the ceiling surface 50c faces the joint 37L between the ends of the decorative plate 21b.) .

The pulley 60 is provided on the ceiling surface 50c, as can be seen from FIGS. 2, 4 and 7. In addition, a driving unit 54 is provided almost directly below the pulley 60 on the upper surface of the placing table 58.

The drive section 54 and the movable section 52 are connected by a wire 62 via a pulley 60, as shown in FIG. The column 50, the driving unit 54, the wire 62, and the pulley 60 constitute an elevating mechanism 64 that elevates and lowers the movable unit 52 in the vertical direction.

The lifting mechanism 64 and the movable section 52 including a slide guide (track body) 68 described later are connected to the ring 24r.
Surrounds them. In this state, the ring body 24r is rotated around the lifting mechanism 64 and the movable part 52 by the ring drive mechanism 25 described above. For this reason, the prize 2 locked on the ring body 24r also includes the lifting mechanism 64 and the slide guides (guide body, track body) 6

As described above, the front end of the slide guide 68 is inclined downward at the front side because of the fixed end of the slide guide 68, that is, the slide guide 68.
This is for raising the sub-carriage 69 to a predetermined position on the side located higher than the tip of the sub-carriage and allowing the sub-carriage 69 to naturally descend from there. Therefore, the upper predetermined position on the slide guide 68 is hereinafter referred to as a sub-carriage lifting position. That. The sub-carriage raising position is, specifically, the position of the sub-carriage 69 in FIG.

The movable portion 52 automatically returns to the upper end position of the support post 50 each time one play by the player is completed. The movable portion 52 moves downward from the upper end position of the support column 50 while the operated operation button 9a is pressed. That is, the movable portion 52 can be moved by the operation of the player from the top of the support column 50 to the bottom, but not from the bottom to the top. And the movable part 52
Is stopped when the player releases his / her finger from the operation button 9a.

Therefore, by operating the operation button 9a, the player can move the movable portion 52 to a desired position on the column 50 when moving the movable portion 52 downward along the column 50.

Blocks the light from the light emitting section toward the light receiving section, thereby detecting that the sub carriage 69 is at the sub carriage lifting position. That is, both the sub-carriage position detection sensor 93 and the belt hook detection sensor 91 detect that the sub-carriage 69 is at the sub-carriage raising position, but when the sub-carriage 69 comes to the sub-carriage raising position. Since the timing belt 72t returns to the position where the belt hook detection sensor 89s detects the belt hook 72t-1 while the sub-cart 69 remains at the sub-cart lifting position (described later), In this state, the two sensors 93 and 91 are provided because it is necessary to detect that the sub-trolley 69 is still at the sub-trolley raising position.

Further, on the fixed end side of the slide guide 68, a sub bogie lifting motor 72m, which is a component of the lifting mechanism 72, is mounted. (Sub-cart) 69 The sub-cart 69 is a slide guide 68
Bogie body 94 (slide body) housed in internal space
And a hammer body 96 suspended at the front end side of the bogie main body 94 (the side located at the front end side of the slide guide) so as to swing back and forth with respect to the bogie main body 94. Here, the terms “front” and “rear” refer to the distal end side and the fixed end side of the slide guide 68, respectively, and left and right refer to the left and right sides of the bogie main body 94 when viewed from the distal end side of the slide guide 68, respectively. And right (left and right when facing directly to FIG. 7). Hereinafter, in the description of the sub-trolley 69, the same meaning is given unless otherwise specified.

6

Since the bogie main body 94 is housed in the internal space (guide path 68g) of the slide guide 68 as a track, it can be said that it is a part of the slide guide 68, and it is a hammer lock mechanism. Since the lock pin holder 104 is a component of the carriage body 94,
It can be said that the lock pin holder 104 is provided on the slide guide 68 as a track body.

(Base Car 100) Base car 100 is shown in FIG.
As shown in FIG. 14 to FIG. 14, one wheel 98 is provided on each of the left and right side surfaces. Then, these wheels 98 are placed on the inner surface of the bottom plate 68d of the slide guide 68 and roll, whereby the base vehicle 100 moves along the guide path 68g, which is the internal space of the slide guide 68, along its longitudinal direction. I do.

As shown in FIG. 12 and FIG. 13, on the left side of the rear end of the base vehicle 100, when viewed from the left side, the shape of the left side is an L-shape, and a position (step) lower than the upper surface of the base vehicle 100 A hook attachment portion 100a for attaching the hook 106 is provided on a position substantially flush with the bottom plate 68d of the slide guide 68).

A belt hook 72t-1, which is a part of a later-described timing belt 72t of the lifting mechanism 72, is provided on the upper surface of the base vehicle 100 and on the side (rear right side) opposite to the hook mounting portion 100a. A hook 100h is provided integrally with the hook hook 100h (FIG. 1).
4). The belt hook retaining portion 100h is located on the path of the timing belt 72t, opens forward (toward the distal end of the slide guide 68), and is closed on the rear side. Then, the timing belt 7 with respect to the opening 100h-1
The belt hook 72t-1 moves in and out in response to the driving of 2t. That is, when the timing belt 72t rotates in the direction of the arrow a1 in FIG. 14, the belt hook 72t-1 separates from the belt hook retaining portion 100h, whereby the power of the timing belt 72t is reduced to the base vehicle 100, that is, the bogie main body 94a. , The sub-cart 69 stops.

On the other hand, the timing belt 72t is pointed by the arrow a2.
When the belt hook 72t-1 rotates in the direction, the belt hook 72t-1 engages with the belt hook retaining portion 100h, whereby the power of the timing belt 72t is transmitted to the bogie main body 94a. Pulled towards.

Further, as shown in FIG.
0 has a slit 100 s in a range from the front end to the center in the longitudinal direction and including the center line 1 of the base vehicle 100. In the slit 100s, the hammer body 96 freely swings in the front-rear direction with respect to the base vehicle 100. The slit 100
The length of s is determined by how much the hammer body 96 swings.

(Lock Pin Holder 104) As can be seen from FIGS.
A rectangular block-shaped holder main body 104b and a lower half 104s-2 are slidably provided in a slit groove 104c provided in the left-right direction (width direction) of the holder main body 104b. 104b is always urged to the right side, and the upper half 10
4s-1 is a slide pin 104s projecting upward from the upper surface of the holder main body 104b;
04s is provided integrally with the lower half 104s-2, and the holder main body 104 is provided in accordance with the sliding of the slide pin 104s.
Lock pin 1 resiliently enters and exits from the right side of b
04r. Here, the urging means to receive a repulsive force from another (the above-mentioned spring). Further, the slit groove 104c is provided in the lower half 1 of the slide pin 104s.
04s-2 and the lock pin 104r are housed therein, and the main groove 104c-1 penetrating the holder main body 104b transversely in the width direction and the main groove are integrated with the upper surface of the holder main body 104b. The sub-groove 104c-2 accommodates the lower part of the upper half 104s-1 of the slide pin 104s.

Therefore, when the slide pin 104s is at the rightmost end of the slit groove 104c, the lock pin 10
4r protrudes to the maximum, and the amount of protrusion of the lock pin 104r decreases as the slide pin 104s moves toward the leftmost end of the slit groove 104c.

The slide pin 104s integrated with the lock pin 104r is moved to the upper half 104s-1 (see FIG. 15) immediately before the sub-cart 69 reaches the lowermost end of the slide guide 68.
Are arranged so as to abut on the hammer swing release block 90 on the track of the slide pin 104 s in the longitudinal direction of the slide guide 68.

Then, the sub-trolley 69 is mounted on the
8, from the fixed end thereof, the tip of the hammer swing-up release block 90, that is, the slide guide 6.
8, the upper half 104s-1 of the slide pin 104s first strikes the oblique surface 90c of the hammer swing release block 90. Thereafter, when the sub-trolley 69 further moves to the leading end (the lowermost end) of the slide guide 68, the upper half 104s-1 passes through the oblique surface 90c and continues to be connected to the hammer vibration. It reaches the main surface 90m of the lifting release block 90. During this time, the elasticity of the spring related to the slide pin 104s is set so that the slide pin 104s can move from the right side to the left side in the slit groove 104c while resisting the urging force. Therefore, when the slide pin 104s moves in the above-described direction in the slit groove 104c, the lock pin 104r integrated with the slide focus 104s also moves from right to left. And slide pin 1
When 04s is located at the leftmost end of the slit groove 104c,
That is, when the slide pin 104s reaches the main surface 90m, the lock pin 104r is completely housed in the holder main body 104b and does not protrude as shown in FIG.

At the same time as or momentarily after the lock pin 104r completely enters the holder main body 104b, the sub-carriage 69 collides with the blocking plate 70 at the lowermost end of the slide guide 68. ing.

On the contrary, the protruding amount of the lock pin 104r is increased in the opposite manner as described above. As the slide pin 104s moves from the main surface 90m toward the fixed end of the slide guide 68 and gradually moves on the oblique surface 90c therefrom, the slide pin 104s receives the elasticity of the spring. Done. However, after the hammer body 96 is unlocked by the hammer swing-up release block 90 which is a hammer lock release mechanism and is swung down, the lock pin 1
Since the hammer body 96 is located in front of (ie, on the protruding side) of the lock pin 04r (see FIGS. 15 and 16), the lock pin 1
While the tip of 04r hits the main surface of the hammer body 96,
That is, the lock pin 104r is
4 remains immersed.

The tip of the lock pin 104r is the hammer body 9
The sub-carriage 69 moves toward the sub-carriage pulling position of the slide guide 68 and the hammer body 96 is swung by the hammer swing-up plate 89 because the sub-carriage 69 projects out of the lock pin holder 104. This is when the player swings up to the swinging position in the movement range (see FIGS. 13 and 15).

The lock pin 104r contacts the rear edge 96r of the hammer body 96 to limit the counterclockwise rotation of the hammer body 96 (see FIGS. 12, 13 and 15). When the hammer body 96 is in a protruding state from the pin holder 104, it cannot rotate counterclockwise. This is because the lock pin 104r is always located above the swing base axis b of the hammer body 96, as will be understood from FIGS. 12, 13 and 15.

When the hammer body 96 cannot rotate counterclockwise, it means that the hammer body 96 cannot rotate in the counterclockwise direction.
Is in the swinging-up position. (Hook 106) As can be seen from FIG. 12, the hook 106 is formed by bending a strip-shaped elongated sheet metal into a crank shape. The hook 106 has its front end half 106
The screw f is fixed to the hook attachment portion 100a by screwing it to the hook attachment portion 100a. The rear end half 106r is inclined so as to become lower as it goes to the front end (the opposite side of the front end half 106f), and the front end is connected to the bottom plate 68d of the slide guide 68.
Of the hook 106 in the longitudinal direction of the slide guide 68 and the locking rod 88 of the electromagnetic solenoid 82.

12 and FIG.
06m is the rear half 1 of the hook 106.
The intermediate wall is located between the front end portion 06r and the front end half portion 106f and connects the two, and rises upward from the rear end of the front end half portion 106f. And the intermediate wall 10
The 6 m and the hook mounting portion 100a form a recess 108 in which the locking rod 88 implanted in the plate 86 of the sub-carriage stopping mechanism 78 enters. The sub-cart stop mechanism 78
When the locking rod 88 enters the concave portion 108, the sub-cart 69 is stopped at the sub-cart lifting position. Note that the recess 108
A light-shielding plate 109 paired with the sub-trolley position detection sensor 93 described above is hung on the lower surface of the light-emitting device.

(Hammer Body 96) The hammer body 96 (hit body) includes a swing body 96s swinging in the front-rear direction (longitudinal direction of the slide guide 68) in the slit 100s of the base vehicle 100, and a swing body 96s. On the other hand, it comprises an iron mallet 96h that swings in the left-right direction and has a head 96h-2 described later at the tip.

(Swinging Body 96s) The swinging body 96s has an axle of a wheel 98, which is exposed in the slit 100s and is located on the front side of the sub bogie 69, as a swinging base shaft b (FIGS. 12 and 13). 11), FIG. 12 and FIG. 15 so that the main surface thereof is parallel to the slit 100s so as to freely rotate in the slit 100s clockwise or counterclockwise in FIGS. It is a substantially rectangular plate that is arranged. The thickness dimension is slightly smaller than the width dimension of the slit 100s, and the width dimension is almost two thirds of the length dimension of the slit 100s. The swing body 96s
A hammer 96h is attached to a lower end surface of the lower end via a swing slave shaft s for freely rotating the hammer 96h clockwise or counterclockwise in FIG.

The hammer body 96 is connected to the lock pin 10.
When the sub-cart 69 is moved along the slide guide 68 toward the sub-cart lifting position in a state where the rotation of the sub-cart is not restricted by the 4r, the swing body 96
The rear upper end corner p of s (see FIGS. 13 and 15) comes into contact with the lower end of the inner surface of the bent portion 89e of the hammer swing-up plate 89. That is, the length of the bent portion 89e and the inclination angle of the hammer body 96 with respect to the slide guide 68 when the hammer body 96 is hung on the slide guide 68 are set so that the contact is made.

(Hammer 96h) The hammer 96h is composed of a rod-shaped handle 96h-1 directly attached to the swinging body 96s.
The head 96h-2 is fixed to the tip of the handle 96h-1.

(Pulling Mechanism 72) Pulling Mechanism 72
Is a slide guide 68 as shown in FIGS.
A sub-cart lifting motor 72m provided on the fixed end of the sub-cart with the rotating shaft facing upward; a belt wheel 72w provided on the rotating shaft of the sub-cart lifting motor 72m; a bearing 101 of a bearing block 102; 72
w and a timing belt 72t wound around the bearing 101.

(Sub-cart lifting motor 72m) The sub-cart lifting motor 72m is, as shown in FIG.
It is located on the right side (upper side in FIG. 14) on the fixed end side in the slide guide 68, and corresponds to the bearing block 102 in the longitudinal direction of the slide guide 68 as described above. That is, since the bearing block 102 is also located on the right side of the slide guide 68 as described above, the timing belt 72t is connected to the belt wheel 72w.
The timing belt 72t is located on the right side of the slide guide 68 when the timing belt 72t is wound around the bearing 101.

Also, a sub-cart lifting motor 72 m
After a while after the operation button 9b is pressed and the sub-trolley 69 has finished descending the slide guide 68, the timing belt 72t is rotationally driven so that the belt hook 72t-1 moves to the fixed end side of the slide guide 68, The sub-cart 69 is automatically pulled up to the sub-cart raising position. Then, after moving the sub-trolley 69 to the sub-trolley lifting position, the belt hook 72t-1 moves toward the belt hook detection sensor 89s provided on the lower end side of the slide guide 68 after a while after moving the sub-trolley 69 to the sub-trolley raising position. As a result, the timing belt 72t is automatically driven to rotate.

(Timing Belt 72t) The timing belt 72t is made into an infinite belt by a belt hook 72t-1, and the belt hook 72t-1 is a part of the timing belt 72t. Belt hook 7
2t-1 corresponds to the belt hook detection sensor 91 which is the same optical sensor, in addition to the above-described belt hook detection sensor 89s which is an optical sensor. And the sub-trolley 69
Is pulled up to the sub-carriage pulling position by the timing belt 72t, the belt hook 72t-1
However, light emitted from a light emitting unit (not shown) of the detection sensor 91 toward a light receiving unit (not shown) is blocked. In other words, the hook mounting portion 100a of the sub-trolley 69 and the hook 1
06 in the concave portion 108 formed by the electromagnetic solenoid 8
This means that the sub-cart 69 is stopped at the sub-cart raising position, that is, the sub-cart stop mechanism 78 is functioning.

(Driving Unit 54) Next, returning to FIG. 7 showing the state viewed from the direction of arrow VII in FIG. 4, the driving unit 54 will be described. As described above, the driving unit 54 is located almost directly below the pulley 60 attached to the uppermost end of the column 50 on the upper surface of the placement table 58, and connects the movable unit 52 to the column 50 via the wire 62 and the pulley 60. Is a drive source that moves vertically along the axis. The drive unit 54 moves the movable unit 52 downward of the support 50 according to the operation of the operation button 9a by the player. The driving unit 54 is also configured such that the movable unit 52
When the movable part 52 reaches the lower end of the
Even if it does not reach the lower end of 0, when the sub-cart 69 slides down the slide guide 68 by the player pressing the operation button 9b as described later, and the play is finished,
The movable portion 52 is automatically returned to the upper end position of the column 50.
Then, in the mounting portion of the drive unit 54 in the placement table 58,
8 and 7 showing the state viewed from the direction of arrow VIII in FIG.
As shown in FIG. 9 showing a state viewed from the direction of arrow IX,
A hole 58h of an appropriate size is drilled, and the hole 58h has a substantially square base 1 for closing the hole 58h.
11 is arranged. The following components are attached to the lower surface and the upper surface of the base 111.

A drive motor 54 is provided on the lower surface of the base 111.
m is fixed in a state where the rotation shaft projects upward and the worm gear 54w is attached to the rotation shaft. The driving force of the driving motor 54m is transmitted to the upper surface of the base 111 via a worm wheel 54h in mesh with the worm gear 54w.
A winding roller 54r that rotates so as to wind the
A rotation detection sensor 54s for detecting the degree of rotation of the winding roller 54r is fixed.

(Rotation detection sensor 54s) The rotation detection sensor 54s detects whether the drive motor 54m is functioning normally and the wire 62 is wound around the winding roller 54r, or whether the wire 62 is released from the winding roller 54r. Encoder.

When the winding roller 54r is not rotating normally, the rotation detecting sensor 54s detects this and automatically stops the drive motor 54m.

As can be seen from FIGS. 7 and 9, the positions of the winding roller 54r and the rotation detection sensor 54s on the base 111 are closer to the support 50 than the rotation detection sensor 54s.

(Control Mechanism) Next, each sensor 89
s, 91 and 93, motors 36, 54m and 72
m, a circuit configuration for controlling the operation of the electromagnetic solenoid 82 will be described with reference to the block diagram of FIG.

The sensors 89s, 91, 93 and the motor 36
The 54 m / 72 m and the electromagnetic solenoid 82 are connected to a control circuit 113 that controls the entire prize machine 1. The control circuit 113 includes a medal detector 115
Is connected. The medal detector 115 transmits the number of inserted medals to the control circuit 113 when the inserted medals are genuine. (Control Processing and Operation of Embodiment) Next, the control circuit 113
Will be described with reference to the flowcharts of FIGS. 22 and 23, and together with the description of the control processing, the operation of the embodiment will be described with reference to the drawings related to the operation.

When the operator turns on the main switch and turns on the power to the control circuit 113, the control processing of FIGS. 22 and 23 starts. Then, first, the prize machine 1 is started. Then, the ring drive motor 36 rotates (S01). As a result, the driving force is applied to the driving V-belt wheel 36r and the ring driving belt 3
8 to the driven V-belt wheel 46, which is a component of the base 40, and together with the driven V-belt wheel 46, the flat plate ring 44 integrated therewith rotates about the vertical center line L as the center of rotation. That is, the base 40 rotates (see FIGS. 2 and 6). At this time, the base 40 has not only the driven V-belt wheel 46 placed on the support roller 7r, but also the displacement of the driven V-belt wheel 46 in the radial direction about the vertical center line L. Therefore, it rotates in a stable state in the left-right direction in FIG.

Also, since the prize 2 is attached to the flat plate ring 44 via the column 24c of the ring structure 24 and the ring body 24r, the prize 2 as well as the base 40 are stable around the vertical center line L as a rotation center. To rotate. In other words, the ring body 24r carrying the premium 2 is moved up and down by the lifting mechanism 6
4 and rotate around the movable portion 52 including the slide guide 68.

In the state before the main switch is turned on, that is, when the main switch is turned off last time, the movable part 52 of the prize acquiring mechanism 3 moves
When the main switch is turned on, the movable part 52 is driven by
To the top of the, and when it is at the top, it stops automatically there. At this time, the winding roller 54r of the driving unit 54 is in a state where the wire 62 is wound.

If the sub-trolley 69 is located at the lowermost end of the slide guide 68 before the main switch is turned on, the sub-trolley 69 is moved along the slide guide 69 to the sub-trolley raising position when the main switch is turned on. And is stopped at the sub-carriage raising position by the sub-carriage stopping mechanism 78. In addition, the hammer body 96
The lock pin 104 of the lock pin holder 104 which is swung up to the swinging position by the hammer swinging plate 89 which is a mechanism for swinging the same to the swinging position, and which is provided on the base cart 100 of the sub-cart 69.
The state is held by r.

After the main switch is turned on, the base 40 is rotated, the movable part 52 is positioned at the uppermost end of the support column 50, and the sub-cart 69 is swung up to the swing-up position. Raising to the bogie swing position is called initial setting. Without the initial settings, the player cannot start the game. In addition, if the initial setting state is not reached even after the main switch is turned off, the main power supply may be set so as not to be turned off.

Such an initial setting is performed in S in FIG.
This is performed by going through the steps from 01 to S10. Note that, from S02 to S for the initial setting,
The description of each step up to 10 and the description of each step of S11 and S12 will be made after the description of each step of S13 to S23 is completed for convenience. Also, S13
The execution of the processes from S23 to S23 is based on the precondition that the initial settings have already been made. The control circuit 113
At 13, wait for a signal indicating that a real medal has been inserted from the medal detector. When the player inserts a medal into the medal slot 8 provided in the control panel 6 and a signal indicating that the medal is a regular medal is input by the medal detector 115 (S13), the game can be started,
The operation buttons 9a and 9b become operable, and the process proceeds to the next S14. If the medal is a fake, the game does not proceed, and the determination of the medal detection is repeated until a regular medal is inserted.

In S14, it is determined whether or not the belt hook detection sensor 89s provided at the end of the slide guide 68 detects the belt hook 72t-1. That is, it is determined whether or not the belt hook detection sensor 89s detects the belt hook 72t-1 before descending the sub-trolley 69. If it is determined that it has been detected, the process proceeds to the next S16. Then, if it is determined that no detection has been made, the process proceeds to S15, and as a result,
The medal is discharged from the medal payout slot 16 and the game ends.

Since the main switch remains on even after the game is over, the ring 24r carrying the prize 2 rotates around the movable section 52 including the lifting mechanism 64 and the slide guide 68 during that time. ing.

As described above, the belt hook detection sensor 89
The reason for determining whether or not s has detected the belt hook 72t-1 is that the sliding down of the sub-trolley 69 along the slide guide 68 utilizes natural fall. That is, if the timing belt 72t is attached to the sub-cart 69, the timing belt 72t is attached to the belt wheel 72w.
Is connected to the sub bogie lifting motor 72m through the sub bogie, so that a load such as frictional resistance is applied to the sub bogie 69 and the speed of the sub bogie 69 is reduced, so that it is necessary to avoid this. .

Therefore, when the belt hook detection sensor 89s determines that the belt hook 72t-1 has not been detected before descending the sub-trolley 69, the game is terminated because of the mechanism of the prize machine 1. This is because it is highly possible that some sort of trouble has occurred.
This is because it is inappropriate to continue the game.

Next, when the flow advances to (S16), the operation button 9a is pressed.
It is determined whether or not is pressed within a predetermined time. Here, the predetermined time is not particularly defined, but is preferably at most several minutes in order to efficiently advance the game. Operation button 9a
Is determined, then the process proceeds to S17, where the drive motor 54m of the drive unit 54 is rotated, and the wire 62 wound around the winding roller 54r is released. As a result, the movable part 52 including the sub-cart 66 having the hammer body 96 and the slide guide 68 is lowered from the uppermost part of the support column 50. The rotation of the drive motor 54m that rotates in the direction in which the wire 62 is released is referred to as “drive motor 5”.
4m forward rotation "
The rotation of the drive motor 54m that rotates in the direction in which the wire 62 is wound around 4r is referred to as "reverse rotation of the drive motor 54m".

When the drive motor 54m rotates forward in S17, the wire 62 passing through the pulley 60 is paid out. Therefore, the movable portion 52 connected to the wire 62
The upper roller 74u and the lower roller 74d of the main carriage 66, which are one of the components, are lowered on the column 50 while the player releases the finger from the operation button 9a while being guided by the column 50.

The description returns to S16. If it is determined that the operation button 9a is not pressed within the predetermined time, it is determined that the player has no intention to continue the game or that the player is not present, and the game ends there. .

Next, the process proceeds to S18. In S18,
After the drive motor 54m rotates forward in S17, it is determined whether or not the player has released the finger from the operation button 9a within a predetermined time. Here, the predetermined time refers to at least the time required for the movable portion 3 to descend from the uppermost portion to the lowermost portion along the column 50. If it is determined that it has been released, the process proceeds to the next S19, and the drive motor 54m is stopped.

On the other hand, if it is determined that they are not separated, it is determined in S20 whether the movable portion 52 has reached the lowermost end of the column 50. The movable part 52 is a support 5
If it is determined that the game has reached the bottom of 0, the game ends there,
The process returns to S02. On the contrary, the movable part 52 is
If it is determined that the lowermost position has not yet been reached, the determination in S18 is repeated.

The description returns to S19. When the drive motor 54m stops in S19, that is, when the movable unit 52 stops at the position determined by the player to be optimal for acquiring the target premium 2, the process proceeds to S21.

In S21, it is determined whether or not the operation button 9b has been pressed within a predetermined time by the player. Here, the predetermined time is not particularly defined, but at most several minutes is preferable in order to efficiently advance the game. In addition,
The time when the player presses the operation button 9b is when the target premium 2 comes close by the rotation of the ring body 24r.

Then, in S21, the operation button 9b
Is determined to have been pressed within the predetermined time, the process proceeds to the next S22, and the electromagnetic solenoid 82 is energized. Conversely, if it is determined that the operation button 9b is not pressed within the predetermined time, it is determined that the player has no intention to continue the game or that the player is not present,
Then, the game is over and the process returns to S02.

When the electromagnetic solenoid 82 is energized in S22, the movable rod 84 is pulled back into the main body of the electromagnetic solenoid 82. Therefore, the plate 86 linked to the movable rod 84 is connected to the lower end 8 of the solenoid board 82.
Rotating counterclockwise around 2b-1 as the center of rotation, FIG.
From the state of No. 3 to the state of FIG. 12, the process proceeds to the next S23.

Since the plate 86 rotates as described above, the locking bar 88 provided at the tip of the plate 86 and engaged with the recess 108 of the hook mounting portion 100a of the sub-cart 69 engages with the recess 108. The connection is released, that is, the sub-carriage stopping mechanism 78 is released.

Therefore, the sub-trolley 69 moves the guide path 68g of the slide guide 68, which is inclined with its tip side downward, from the sub-trolley raising position to the lowermost end by the rolling of the wheels 98 of the bogie main body 94a. Downhill at a stretch, that is, descend (see FIG. 19).

At this time, the hammer body 96 is
Since the rotation in the counterclockwise direction is prevented by the lock pin 104r of No. 9, the slide guide 68 descends together with the sub-carriage 69 while maintaining the state of being swung up to the swinging-up position.

When the sub bogie 69 slides down and comes to the lower end of the slide guide 68, the hammer swing release block 90 provided at the lower end and the slide pin 104s (correctly, the upper half 104s thereof) of the sub bogie 69 are provided. As described above, -1) is opposed to each other on the trajectory of the slide pin 104s in the longitudinal direction of the slide guide 68.
The slide pin 104s abuts on the oblique surface 90c of the hammer swing release block 90.

Then, with the further movement of the sub-trolley 69, the slide pin 104s passes through the oblique surface 90c of the hammer swing-up release block 90, then sequentially contacts the main surface 90m, and reaches the main surface 90m. Then, since the slide pin 104s moves from the right side to the left side of the slit groove 104c provided in the lock pin holder 104, the lock pin 104r integrated with the slide pin 104s
Is immersed in the lock pin holder 104. For this reason,
The hammer body 96, which has been prevented from rotating in the counterclockwise direction by the lock pin 104r, is released from being swung up to its swung position.

At the same time as or momentarily after the lock pin 104r is completely immersed, the sub bogie 69 moves to the lowermost end of the slide guide 68 and collides with the blocking plate 70. Due to the inertia force of the hammer body 96, the hammer body 96 is swung down and swings counterclockwise largely and abruptly around the swing base axis b, and swings. (See FIG. 20 showing a state where the prize has been hit.)

Therefore, at this time, if the prize 2 is located in front of the hammer body 96 with good timing, in other words, the timing when the sub bogie 69 descending along the slide guide 68 is located at the lowermost end of the slide guide 68 is different from the timing. Therefore, when the relative position between the prize 2 and the lowermost end of the slide guide 68 is close to each other, the prize 2 is hit by the head 96h-2 of the hammer body 96. Therefore, the holder h with a ring is attached to the locking body 26A of the ring body 24r.
The prize 2 which has been hung through the prize is detached from the locking body 26A, falls into the prize drop hole 15h provided in the base 7b, and then enters the player's hand through the prize take-out opening 15. Note that the proximity state here means that the prize 2 has the head 9
6h-2 means that the distance between them is close enough to touch at least.

Note that the hammer body 96 is
h also rotates in the left-right direction about the swing slave axis s. However, this is caused when the hammer body 96 is swung down because the column 24c supporting the ring body 24r is rotating. This is to prevent the hammer body 96 including the support 24c and the hammer 96h from being subjected to an extra load even when the hammer 96h hits the support 24c.

After the hammer body 96 is swung down, the lock pin 104r is always kept in contact with the main surface of the hammer body 96 (see FIGS. 15 and 16). It remains immersed in 104.

As described above, when the operation button 9b is pressed once after the operation button 9a is pressed once, the player's one play with one medal ends regardless of whether the prize 2 has been acquired.

The description returns to S23. Electromagnetic solenoid 82
It is determined by (S23) whether or not a predetermined time has elapsed after the power has been supplied. Here, the predetermined time is at least a time required for the sub-cart 69 to descend along the slide guide 68. After a predetermined time,
Since the electromagnetic solenoid 82 is not automatically energized and the movable rod 84 is automatically extended from the main body of the electromagnetic solenoid 82, the plate 86 of the key portion 85 attached to the distal end 84e of the movable rod 84 is Is the opposite,
It rotates clockwise around the lower end 82b-1 of the solenoid board 82 as the center of rotation. For this reason, the locking rod 88 is attached to the bottom plate 68d of the slide guide 68 (electromagnetic solenoid 82).
(This is the state before power is supplied to the power supply).

After a lapse of a predetermined time, the sub bogie lifting motor 72m automatically rotates the timing belt 72t in a direction to pull the sub bogie 69 having been lowered back to the sub bogie lifting position (S02). For this reason,
The sub-trolley 69 is pulled by the timing belt 72t to the sub-trolley lifting position of the slide guide 68. Thus, the sub-trolley lifting motor 72m
However, rotating the timing belt 72t in a direction to pull the sub-cart 69 back to the sub-cart lifting position is referred to as "forward rotation of the sub-cart lifting motor 72m". And
Rotating the timing belt 72t in the opposite direction is referred to as "reverse rotation of the sub-bogie lifting motor 72m".

As a result, when the belt hook 72t-1 enters the belt hook retaining portion 100h, the belt hook 72t
t-1 and the sub-cart 69 are engaged, and the sub-cart 69 is pulled by the timing belt 72t and moves to the sub-car-pulling position of the slide guide 68. Immediately before reaching the sub-trolley raising position, the hook 106 hits the locking rod 88, and when the sub-trolley 69 further advances, the plate 86 to which the locking rod 88 is attached becomes
Since the movable rod 84 is linked to the movable rod 84 of the electromagnetic solenoid 82 in a non-energized state, the locking rod 88 moves up the rear end half portion 106r of the hook 106 while the movable rod 84 is immersed in the solenoid 82. Then, since the locking bar 88 is finally fitted into the concave portion 108, the sub-carriage stopping mechanism 78 functions. As a result, the sub-trolley 69 is lifted to the sub-trolley raising position, that is, to a high place (the high point here refers to the sub-trolley 6 only as far as one ring body 24r is concerned).
9 corresponds to the ring body 24r, which means that the prize 2 is higher than the prize 2 attached to the ring body 24r. ).

Next, when raising the sub bogie 69 to the sub bogie lifting position, the relationship between the hammer body 96 and the hammer raising plate 89 which is a raising mechanism for raising the hammer body 96 to the raising position is shown in FIG. This will be described with reference to FIG.

When the sub-trolley 69 is lifted toward the sub-trolley raising position, the hammer body 96 has been swung down, so that the hammer body 96 moves vertically with respect to the slide guide 68 in the inclined state. It is in a hanging state.

Further, as described above, after the hammer body 96 is swung down, the lock pin 104r is kept in contact with the main surface of the hammer body 96, that is, while being immersed in the lock pin holder 104. (See FIGS. 15 and 16).

Then, the hammer body 96 has its upper end corner p
The bent portion 89 of the hammer swing plate 89 attached to the top plate 68u of the slide guide 68 as described above.
e and on the track of the hammer body 96 in the longitudinal direction of the slide guide 68, so that when the sub-trolley 69 is moved toward the sub-trolley raising position along the slide guide 68, the sub-trolley is moved to the sub-trolley raising position. Immediately before the sub bogie 69 arrives, the upper rear corner p of the swinging body 96s
(See FIG. 15) abuts the lower end of the inner surface of the bent portion 89 e of the hammer swing-up plate 89.

Further, when the sub-trolley 69 is further pulled toward the sub-trolley raising position, the hammer body 96 is moved.
Is stopped while abutting on the lower end of the inner surface of the bent portion 89e, so that the hammer body 96 rotates clockwise around the swing base shaft b until the hammer body 96 reaches the swing-up position (FIG. 15). reference).

On the other hand, as can be seen from FIGS. 12, 13 and 15, the lock pin 104r is located above the swing base axis b of the hammer body 96. Therefore, when the hammer body 96 is rotated clockwise around the swing base axis b and reaches the swing-up position, the hammer body 96 has not been rotated until then.
The lock pin 104r that has been in contact with the main surface of the hammer body 96 escapes and does not hit the main surface of the hammer body 96. For this reason, the lock pin 104r projects by the bias of the spring, and comes into contact with the rear edge 96r of the hammer body 96. As a result, the hammer body 96 is prevented from rotating counterclockwise (rotating from the lower side to the upper side in the drawings) in the case where the hammer body 96 is opposed to FIGS. 12, 13 and 15, and is placed at the swinging position. To maintain the state.

Further, as can be seen from FIGS. 12, 13 and 15, the lock pin 104r is located below the lower end of the bent portion 89e of the hammer swing-up plate 89, so that the hammer body 96 is positioned at the bent portion 89e. The lock pin 104r does not hit the bent portion 89e even when it is in contact with.

As described above, the hammer body 96 is swung up to the swinging position for the first time when the hammer body 96 comes to the sub-truck lifting position of the sub-truck 96, so that playability is improved. Further, by swinging the hammer body 96 to the swinging position, the power of hitting the premium 2 is increased.

When the sub-trolley 69 is raised to the sub-trolley raising position as described above, the belt hook position detection sensor 9 provided corresponding to the sub-trolley raising position is provided.
1 and the sub-carriage position detection sensor 93 are provided with belt hooks 72t provided on the upper surface of the sub-carriage 69, respectively.
-1 and the light-shielding plate 109 provided on the lower surface of the sub-cart 69 enter, thereby blocking the light emitted from the light-emitting portion of each sensor to the light-receiving portion. It is detected that the vehicle has come to the carriage lifting position (S03). When the detection is performed, the sub bogie lifting motor 72m stops (S04) and then reversely rotates (S05). Therefore, the timing belt 72t
The belt hook 72t-1 comes out of the belt hook engaging portion 100h of the sub-cart 69, that is, the engagement between the belt hook 72t-1 and the sub-cart 69 is released.
At the same time, the belt hook 72t-1 is also separated from the belt hook position detection sensor 91, and thereafter, when the sub bogie lifting motor 72m rotates in the reverse direction, the belt hook 72t-1
-1 goes to the belt hook detection sensor 89s provided at the lower end of the slide guide 68. When the belt hook detection sensor 89s detects the belt hook 72t-1 (S06), the sub bogie lifting motor 72
m stops (S07), and the timing belt 72t stops.

At this time, even if the belt hook 72t-1 is separated from the belt hook position detecting sensor 91, the sub bogie 69 is in the sub bogie pulling up position because the sub bogie position detecting sensor 93 has the light shielding plate 109. Has been confirmed.

When the sub bogie 69 is pulled up to the sub bogie pulling position and the motor 72m stops (S0).
7) Then, the drive motor 54m rotates reversely (S08).
As a result, the movable portion 52 rises along the column 50 toward the top of the column 50. And the movable part 52
Is located at the top of the support 50 (S09), the drive motor 54m stops (S10). When the drive motor 54m stops, each process proceeds to S11, and it is determined whether or not the main switch has been turned off. Then, when it is determined that the main switch is turned off, the rotation of the ring drive motor 36 is stopped (S12), and all the operations by the prize machine 1 end.

According to the prize machine 1 described above, the prize 2 is hit with the hammer body 96 by the descent force and the inertia force of the sub-trolley 69 located higher than the prize 2. Then, the prize 2 is detached from the ring body 24r and is acquired, so that a game full of speed can be enjoyed.

When the relative position between the prize 2 and the slide guide 68 is close to each other when the sub-cart 69 is guided by the slide guide 68 and is positioned at the lowermost end of the slide guide 68, it is determined that Sub trolley 69
The sub-cart 69 beats the prize 2 due to the power of the prize 2 and thereby obtains the prize 2, so that the skill of timing for aiming for the prize 2 is a secret of obtaining the prize 2 and requires a technique. Therefore, the pleasure of the player in obtaining the prize is great. In addition, the impact force and speed of the sub trolley 69 hitting the prize 2 are also attractive. Then, the prize 2 can be reliably beaten as long as the timing is matched, so that the prize 2 acquired thereby is not missed on the way, and the player is not discouraged by the escape.

Further, since the slide guide 68 is a linear body whose tip end side is inclined downward, the sub-trolley 69 immediately descends from a high place to the lowermost end. Therefore, it can be said that the sense of speed overflows and the game is more rich.

Further, since the slide guide 68 has the pulling mechanism 72 for pulling the sub-cart 69 down to a higher place than the prize 2 along the slide guide 68, it is possible to play repeatedly even after the sub-cart 69 is lowered. .

When the sub-cart 69 is pulled up to the sub-car-pulling position along the slide guide 68 by the pulling mechanism 72,
Since the sub bogie has the sub bogie stopping mechanism 78 for stopping the movement of the sub bogie 69 at the sub bogie sub carriage raising position, the timing of lowering the sub bogie 69 can be achieved.

Since the sub-trolley 69 has the bogie main body 94 that slides along the slide guide 68, the sub-trolley 69 slides down along the slide guide 68 and descends. For this reason, the sense of speed is further increased and it is interesting.

The sub bogie 69 has a hammer body 96 which is swingably attached to the bogie main body 94 at least in the longitudinal direction of the bogie main body 94 via a swing base shaft b. At the lowermost end, there is provided a blocking plate 70 for preventing the sub-cart 69 from proceeding further when the sub-cart 69 reaches the lowermost position via the slide guide 68. 70
The hammer body 96 due to the inertial force at that time.
Swings forward in the longitudinal direction of the carriage body 94. And
At this time, if there is the prize 2 in front of the bogie main body 94 with good timing, the prize 2 is beaten by the hammer body 96, thereby separating the prize 2 from the ring body 24r,
A prize 2 can be obtained.

The slide guide 68 has a lifting mechanism 7
When the sub-trolley 69 is pulled up to the sub-trolley pulling position along the slide guide 68 by the step 2, the hammer swing plate 89 for swinging the hammer body 96 to the swing position within the swing range is provided. The ability to beat the prize 2 due to is further increased. Therefore, even if the hammer body 96 touches the prize 2 a little, the impact force at that time is large, and the prize 2 is more easily separated from the ring body 24r, so that the possibility of obtaining the prize is increased.

Further, when the sub-trolley 69 is pulled up to the sub-trolley raising position along the slide guide 68 by the lifting mechanism 72, the hammer body 96 is locked at the swing-up position in the swing range of the slide guide 68. Since the hammer lock mechanism 104 is provided, the hammer body 96 does not swing without permission.

Further, since the slide guide 68 is provided with a hammer swing release block 90 for releasing the lock by the hammer lock mechanism 104 when the sub-cart 69 reaches the lowermost end along the slide guide 68,
The hammer body 96 swings at the lowermost end.

Since the slide guide 68 is moved in the vertical direction by the elevating mechanism 64, when the prize 2 is arranged in the vertical direction, the user can enjoy the game by aiming for the prize 2 at a desired position in the vertical direction. Can be.

The ring body 24r is arranged so as to surround the slide guide 68 and the lifting mechanism 64, and a plurality of prizes 2 are locked on the ring body 24r at predetermined intervals in the circumferential direction. Prize 2
And the chances of getting prizes increase, which is fun.

Further, since the plurality of ring bodies 24r are arranged at predetermined intervals in the vertical direction, if the intervals are narrowed to provide a large number of prizes 2, the prizes 2 are provided over the entire surface of the cylindrical body. Because you can do as many as you installed,
The possibility of obtaining prizes further increases.

Further, the ring body 24r is rotated around the slide guide 68 and the elevating mechanism 64 by the ring drive mechanism 25 for driving the ring body 24r, so that the ring 24r has a moving and pleasant appearance.

On the other hand, according to the locking body 26A, when this is attached to the ring body 24r, the flange portion 30 is located on the tip end side of the portion of the truss screw 28 protruding from the ring body 24r. Moreover, this flange portion 30
Is fixed to the truss screw 28, so that it does not rotate with respect to the truss screw 28 even if some external force is applied when removing the holder h with a ring. The flange 30
Are radially spread in the radial direction of the truss screw 28 and are eccentric from the center line 1 of the truss screw 28.
It changes depending on the rotational position of. That is, if the amount of protrusion is small, the holder h with a ring is hung on the truss screw 28 via the ring h2, and the holder h with a ring is easily released from the truss screw 28, that is, the locking body 26A. Conversely, if the amount of protrusion is large, it means that it is difficult to come off. Therefore, the degree of detachment of the holder h with the ring from the locking body 26A can be adjusted as required, and it can be said that the locking body of the holder with the ring is extremely easy to use.

Further, the flange portion 30 is
Is a disc-shaped member having a hole 30h that fits in the eccentric position from the center of the flange portion 30.
Starting from the truss screw 28 fitted at 0h, the amount of protrusion of the flange portion 30 in the radial direction of the truss screw 28 therefrom changes continuously.

[0208] A screw groove is formed in the head 28h of the truss screw 28. Therefore, in adjusting the amount of upward protrusion of the flange portion 30 fixed to the truss screw 28, the blade of the driver can be inserted into the screw groove and turned, which is convenient.

The truss screw 28 includes a flange 30, a collar 32 for externally fitting a large part of the body 28 b, a nut 28 n screwed to the truss screw 28, and a disc spring or the like located between the nut 28 n and the collar 32. Since the spring body 34 is sequentially fitted, the nut 28n and the spring body 34 are removed and the truss screw 28 is inserted into the hole 33 provided in the ring body 24r to attach the locking body 26A to the ring body 24r. The flange portion 30 and the collar 32 are attached to each other, and the spring body 34 is fitted into the penetrated portion, and the nut 28n is screwed. Then, the flange portion 30 and the collar 32 are separated from each other by the head 2
Pressed toward 8h. Therefore, the flange portion 30
Is sandwiched between the collar 2 and the head 28h, so that frictional resistance is generated between the flange 30 and the collar 32 and between the flange 30 and the head 28h. Therefore, the flange portion 30 can be prevented from moving due to the frictional resistance. The amount by which the flange portion 30 projects upward can be easily adjusted by turning only the flange portion 30 with a finger at a desired angle. (Second Embodiment) A description will be given with reference to FIG. The second embodiment is different from the first embodiment only in terms of design, and is mechanically the same as the first embodiment. Omitted.
