The balls of the parent storage tank are sent to the distribution tank on the island stand, and are distributed to the winning ball tank of the pachinko island stand with a small amount of storage through the supply trough.

[0006]

【Example】

 Hereinafter, the details of the present invention will be described with reference to the illustrated embodiments. The example shown in FIG. 1 is an example in which one parent pachinko island stand 1 having a large parent storage tank 10 is arranged in the center, and a pachinko island stand 2 equipped with ordinary storage tanks 20 on both sides of the parent pachinko island stand 2. There are multiple rows. The storage tanks 10 and 20 collect the out balls of the pachinko machine stand, respectively, or collect the winning balls to be exchanged for the winning balls acquired by the player.

On the respective pachinko island stands 1 and 2, there are prize ball tanks 11 and 21 to which the balls of the storage tanks 10 and 20 are sent while being cleaned by a reducing machine. In the prize ball tank 21 of the island stand 2, a surplus ball drop chute 22 projects along the pachinko island stand.

A distribution tank 12 for balls ascended by a reducing machine is installed above the ceiling 3 on the prize winning ball tank 11 of the parent pachinko island stand 1 and is connected to the distribution tank 12. The supply gutters 4 are arranged so as to be inclined downward, respectively, and are supplied to the winning ball tanks 21 of the pachinko island stands 2, respectively.

A characteristic configuration of this example is that an endless transfer belt 5 having its end located on the parent pachinko island stand 1 passing horizontally over each pachinko island stand 2 is installed horizontally. The transfer belt 5 is configured such that the belt conveyor line 51 is moved by the traveling device 6 toward the parent pachinko island stand 1.

As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the transfer belt 5 has an H-shaped cross section, and a central support piece of a long container 7 installed on a support stand 23 protruding from each tank 21 for winning balls. The upper belt is supported and housed by 71, and the both side pieces 72 are wall pieces. The both sides are wound around the rotating shafts 73 and 74 which are communicated with the both side pieces 72 at both ends and are inverted. The traveling device 6 is configured by fixing the rotary shaft 73 at one end to the wheel 75 transmitted by 81. The position of the other rotating shaft 74 can be changed by a tension mechanism 76.

As a result, the rotation of the motor 8 causes the wheel 75 to rotate via the chain 81 and the rotation shaft 73 integrated with the wheel 75 to rotate, whereby the transfer belt 5 travels. The tips of the drop chutes 22 projecting from the respective winning ball tanks 21 are exposed above the upper belt 51 of the transfer belt 5.

According to this example configured as described above, the out-balls on the pachinko machines on the respective pachinko island stands 1 and 2 and the prize-winning balls acquired by the player for counting for exchange are collected and stored in the respective storage tanks. Collected in 10, 20 and accumulated in the respective prize winning tanks 11 and 21 for winning balls by respective reducing machines. Then, if the amount of balls to be promoted to return to the winning ball tank 21 becomes excessive, the surplus balls are dropped and discharged from the drop chute 22 to the upper belt conveyance line 51 of the transfer belt 5.

The surplus balls are transferred to the parent pachinko island stand 1 by the transfer belt 5 which is constantly running by the rotation of the motor 8, and falls from the open end of the transfer belt 5 to be collected in the parent storage tank 10. . It should be noted that if the amount of ball balls to be raised to the prize ball tank 11 in the parent pachinko island stand 1 becomes excessive, the balls are returned from the drop pipe 15 to the parent storage tank 10 as they are.

The surplus balls collected in the parent storage tank 10 are sent to the distribution tank 12 by the reducing machine of the parent pachinko island stand 1, and the winning ball tank 21 of the pachinko island stand with a small storage amount is supplied through the supply trough 4. Will be distributed to.

As described above, according to this example, the surplus balls on each pachinko island stand are transferred to the parent pachinko island stand 1 by the transfer belt 5 and collected in the parent storage tank 10. Since 5 is installed horizontally, it can be used even when it is close to the ceiling 3.

Although this example is configured as described above, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the shape and configuration of each prize ball tank and large parent storage tank do not matter. Also, the structure of the endless transfer belt is appropriate, and the traveling device thereof is not limited. It is not necessary to equip the pachinko island stands other than the parent pachinko island stand with the storage tank 20 as in this example, and the pachinko balls can be secured by replenishment from the replenishment gutter.

Further, regardless of the location of the parent pachinko island stand having a large parent storage tank, when the parent pachinko island stand is placed at the end as shown in FIG. 4, the transfer belt is transferred from the pachinko island stand at the other end to the parent pachinko island stand. It may be installed by running toward the island stand.

The shape and configuration of the drop chute for dropping the surplus balls from the winning ball tank onto the transfer belt are also arbitrary. In addition, the ball sent from the parent storage tank to the distribution tank on the island stand may be distributed to the storage tanks of the respective pachinko island stands via the supply trough. Further, in a large pachinko hall, it is sufficient to provide one parent pachinko island stand with a large parent storage tank for each block area that is divided into multiple blocks.

[0019]

[Effect of device]

 According to the present invention, surplus balls in the prize ball of each pachinko island stand are transferred to the parent pachinko island stand by the transfer belt, collected in the parent storage tank, and further sent to the distribution tank on the island stand for supply. It is distributed through the gutter to the prize ball tank on the Pachinko Island stand with a small amount of storage, and because the transfer belt is installed horizontally, it can be used effectively even when the space between it and the ceiling is narrow. . In the second aspect, since the parent storage tank for collecting the surplus balls is arranged in the central portion, it can be quickly distributed to the storage tank on the Pachinko Island stand where the storage amount is small. According to the third aspect of the present invention, since only one transfer belt is required, the structure is simple and the maintenance is easy.
