A plurality of gap forming projections 12 are provided rearward so as to have a gap L 1 that forms a gap L 1 and a gap L 2 that forms a non-penetration port 14 that cannot penetrate. In the case of the embodiment shown in the figure, there are formed two entrances 13 through which the hit ball can enter, and four non-entrance holes 14 through which the hit ball cannot enter. When the hit ball that has entered through the entry port 13 rotates together with the wind turbine 3 while being sandwiched by the lower ends of the interval forming projections 12 and rotates in the direction of the entry port 7, when it hits the entry port 7. When it is guided to the entrance port 7 and is rotated in the opposite direction, it comes out again downward from the entrance port 13 when the position is almost right below. The hit ball that has entered the non-penetration opening 14 rotates in either the left or right direction while being sandwiched between the interval forming protrusions 12 and faces diagonally downward, and is directed outward from the interval forming protrusions 12. To fall. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 3, the side surface of the interval forming projection 12 forming the entry port 13 is straight when facing upward, whereas the side surface of the interval forming projection 12 forming the non entry port 14 is straight. The side surface of the projecting piece 12 is an inclined surface that projects downward when facing upward.

The wind turbine device 1 according to the present invention basically suffices if it is composed of the mounting plate 2 and the wind turbine 3 described above. A guide box 4 for guiding the hit ball received from the ball entrance 7 backward is attached. The guide box 4 is shown as integrally formed with a pair of left and right guiding cavities 15 in the shape of an elliptic cylinder. However, in principle, one guiding vacant part 15 corresponding to the entrance 7 is provided. It is sufficient if it is formed. However, in the illustrated embodiment, one guide box 4 can be used to accommodate the entrances 7 formed at both left and right positions. Have Then, a switch mounting groove 16 for inserting and supporting a switch 23 for detecting a hit ball from the rear is engraved on the left and right sides of the middle of each guide empty portion 15, and a guide ridge 17 for guiding the hit ball to the rear is formed in the lower part. Is projected. Although the front surface of the guide space 15 is open and abuts the back surface of the mounting plate 2, the rear surface is closed above the switch mounting groove 16 and is open below the groove 16 although not shown. The hit ball can be guided to the back surface of the game board (not shown).

Further, mounting holes 18 corresponding to the mounting bosses 10 are formed in the middle upper and lower rear end portions of the guide box 4, and the mounting bosses 10 and the mounting holes 18 are brought into contact with each other so as to be rearward. The guide box 4 can be attached to the mounting plate 2 by screwing the screw 19 from the outside. A relief hole 5a is formed in the center of the upper and lower mounting holes 18, and the bearing cylinder 5 is inserted into the relief hole 5a.

Further, a mounting locking piece 20 for locking the rear end side of the switch 23 with a locking claw is provided on the back surface of the guide box 4, and the lamp board 24 is positioned and A positioning pin 21 and a mounting boss 22 to be mounted are formed. The lamp board 24 attached to the positioning pin 21 and the attachment boss 22 has two LED lamps 25 on the left and right, and a positioning hole 26 and an attachment hole 27 are formed between the LED lamps 25. Then, by inserting the positioning hole 26 into the positioning pin 21 and screwing the screw 28 with the mounting boss 22 and the mounting hole 27 corresponding to each other, the lamp board 24 can be fixed to the induction box 4. . A translucent hole (not shown) is formed in the front part of the LED lamp 25 and above the back surface of the guide box 4, and the translucent hole is aligned with the ball entrance 7 and the translucent hole 9. Therefore, the light emitted from the LED lamp 25 is applied to the circular plate-shaped portion of the wind turbine 3. The mounting plate 2 and the wind turbine 3 described above are formed of a synthetic resin material that transmits light, and the surface thereof is decorated with a decorative seal or paint.

With the guide box 4 attached to the mounting plate 2 as described above, the hit ball won from the ball entrance 7 is guided to the upper part of the guide void portion 15 and then the detection hole of the switch 23. It passes and falls below the guide empty portion 25, is guided rearward by the guide ridge 17, reaches the back surface of the game board (not shown), and is processed as a winning ball.

Although the configuration of the wind turbine device 1 according to the embodiment has been described above, the operation performed by the wind turbine device 1 is as described above. That is, referring to FIG. 1, as shown in FIG. 1 (A), the hit ball P1 enters the entry port 13 formed by the interval forming projection 12 and moves in one direction (clockwise in the case shown). When the ball P1 is rotated to, the hitting ball P1 is received by the hitting projection piece 8 to win the ball entrance 7 and is processed as a winning ball. On the contrary, when the ball is rotated in the other direction (counterclockwise direction), the hit ball P1 is again discharged onto the game board. When the ball entrance 7 is formed on the left side of the shaft support position of the wind turbine 3, as shown in FIG. 1 (B), the same operation as above is performed by the rotating operation opposite to that in the case of (A). Further, as shown in FIG. 1 (C), even if the hitting ball P3 enters the non-entry opening 14 formed by the interval forming projection 12 and rotates in any direction, the hitting ball P3 is still formed. When it moves while being sandwiched by and comes to a position facing diagonally downward, it comes out from the interval forming projection 12 and is discharged again onto the game board.

As described above, the wind turbine device 1 according to the present invention allows the hitting ball to be received in the windmill 3 if the entrance 13 happens to be facing the entering direction of the hitting ball. However, that is not the only way to win the prize, but it is only when the ball turns to the direction of the entrance 7 and wins. In other words, since it is processed as a prize only after the two requirements of the timing of the ball hitting the windmill 3 and the direction of rotation, it is possible to enjoy the thrill compared to the conventional windmill device equipped with a winning port. However, even if the windmill is placed at a position where the rotation direction is likely to be constant, it will not be processed as a prize unless at least the intrusion timing matches the intrusion port 13, so there is an unreasonable high winning rate. And, on the contrary, it does not result in an unnecessarily low winning rate, so it is extremely easy to handle.

It should be noted that which of the left and right positions of the shaft support position of the wind turbine 3 should be formed on the game board may be selected based on the arrangement position on the game board and the winning rate.
