As is apparent from these figures, in FIG. 1, reference numeral 1 denotes a game machine, in which a game main body 2, 2 A, 2 B, 2 C, 2 D is housed inside a case 3, and the game is passed through a front glass window 4. Players can see the progress of the game. There are various types of games, such as a game that simply competes for scores, a game where you get your favorite prize from many prizes by getting a high score, etc. The processing up to display is described. Furthermore, there are various types of games, such as a game that competes for points within a certain time, a game that competes for points with the same number of plays, and so on. Is shown.

(First Embodiment of Game Body of Game Machine According to the Present Invention) As shown in FIG. 2 and FIG. 5, a first embodiment of a game body of a game machine according to the present invention Ball driving means 10, ball 20, spiral 30, point holes 41, 42, 43, 44, 45, 46, 47, various sensors (61, 62, 63) and various display units (71, 72, 73).

In this case, the spiral body 30 is formed by winding an elongated plate in a substantially circular spiral shape, and has an outer peripheral end 30a and a central end 30b at the center. Then, the ball 20 placed on the outer peripheral end 30a of the spiral body 30 which is leveled by standing the spiral body 30 between the board and the front glass window 4 is played by the ball driving means 10 so as to compete for the game. Has become.

Here, the ball driving means 10 includes a lever 11, springs 12 and 13, rubber 14 and a shaft 15, and the lever 11 is disposed rotatably around a shaft 15 fixed to the game main body 2. A rubber 14 is disposed at the end opposite to the side of the lever 11 operated by a finger via a spring 13, and one end of the spring 12 is fixed to the game main body 2, and the other end is operated by a finger of the lever 11. It is arranged at the approximate center of the opposite side.

In such a state, when the lever 11 is rotated around the shaft 15 and lowered, the spring 12 expands and stores energy, and at the same time, the rubber 14 disposed at the end of the lever 11 is It moves to the right with the lever 11. Next, when the released lever 11 is released, the extended spring 12 contracts by emitting energy, and at the same time, the lever 11 quickly rotates upward around the shaft 15, and furthermore, the lever 11 ends. The rubber 14 provided moves quickly to the left, and if the ball 20 is present at the end 30a on the outer periphery of the spiral body 30, the ball 20 is strongly hit.

On the other hand, with respect to the point holes 41, 42, 43, 44, 45, 46, and 47, the flipped ball 20 turns the spiral 30 and the downward vertices 30 e, 30 f, 30 g, 30 h of the spiral 30. The ball 20 is disposed so as to be ejected to the back side of the game main body 2 when reaching the stationary position 30i, 30j, 30k. At the same time, each of the point holes 41, 42, 43, 44, 45, 46, 47 is provided with a reaching ball count sensor 62 for counting the number of reached balls, and is connected to the control circuit 60. Thereby, it is possible to display the score for each point hole 41, 42, 43, 44, 45, 46, 47 on the score display plate 71 for each point hole and to display the total score on the total score display plate 72. .

The game machine according to the present invention is configured as described above, and its operation will be described below.

First, at the start of the game, when a coin is inserted, a signal from the coin detection sensor 61 or when a predetermined operation is performed, a game start signal is sent to the control circuit 60. The ball 20 is emitted and falls from the ball drop port 5 to the outer peripheral end 30 a of the spiral body 30.

Next, the player lowers the lever 11 of the ball driving means 10 and releases the lever 11 from a desired position, and the rubber 14 provided at one end of the lever 11 violently pushes the ball 20. And hits the ball 20 strongly.

The ball 20 extruded in this way reaches one of the point holes 41, 42, 43, 44, 45, 46, 47 while reducing the speed of turning with the spiral 30, and the game body 2 Is discharged behind the

At the same time, a reaching ball count sensor 62 for ball detection connected to the control circuit and disposed in each of the point holes 41, 42, 43, 44, 45, 46, and 47 detects each of the point holes 41, 42, and 42. The number of balls 20 that have reached 43, 44, 45, 46, 47 is counted, and the score display plate 71 for each point hole is displayed on the score display plate 71 for each point hole 41, 42, 43, 44, 45, 46, 47. The score is displayed and the total score is displayed on the total score display panel 72.

That is, the player plays the pressing force of the lever 11 of the ball driving means 10 so as to reach a point having a high score in the point holes 41, 42, 43, 44, 45, 46, 47. By adjusting, they compete for the fun of the game.

(Second Embodiment of the Game Body of the Game Machine According to the Present Invention) A second embodiment of the game body of the game machine according to the present invention is as shown in FIGS. 3, 4 and 5. The difference from the first embodiment is that an obstacle 80 is added to the game main body 2 of the first embodiment to form a game main body 2A of the second embodiment. The same contents as in the first embodiment are omitted.

Here, the obstacle 80 is composed of friction plates 81, 82, 83, 84, 85, 86, 87, and each of the upward vertices 30 p, 30 q, 30 r, 30 s, 30 t, 30 u, 30 h of the spiral 30. It is arranged inside 30v. More specifically, as shown in FIG. 4, a friction plate 81 is adhered to the inside of the upward apex 30p by bonding with an adhesive or the like. This is because the speed of the ball 20 is reduced by running the friction plate 81 on the ball 20 that is rotating inside the spiral body 30 due to the centrifugal force. That is, if such an obstacle 80 is not provided, the probability of reaching the point hole 46 described later is almost 0%, and most of the balls 20 reach the point hole 47. That's why we are trying to make it more interesting.

Therefore, the material of the friction plates 81, 82, 83, 84, 85, 86, 87 may be a cloth such as rubber, felt or the like, a fluffy cloth, a synthetic resin plate, or a synthetic resin. Various things can be considered as long as the surface is not slippery, such as the surface of a resin plate with unevenness processed. Regarding the positions at which the friction plates 81, 82, 83, 84, 85, 86, 87 are disposed, a portion at a specific location is removed, a completely random attachment is performed, and a specific point hole 41, 42, It is also conceivable that the ball 20 is concentrated on a specific portion so that the ball 20 is concentrated on one of the portions 43, 44, 45, 46, and 47 and discharged. In addition, in order to reduce the ratio of the ball 20 reaching the stopable downward apex 30k of the spiral body 30, the ball 20 may be positioned at one or more places around the center end 30b as an obstacle. It is also conceivable to hang a cloth, synthetic resin or thread drape over the entire course through which the car passes. In this case, the blind may be used overlapping with the obstacle 80 and an obstacle 80A described later.

The game machine according to the present invention is configured as described above, and its operation is the same as that of the first embodiment, so that the description is omitted.

(Third Embodiment of the Game Body of the Game Machine According to the Present Invention) A third embodiment of the game body of the game machine according to the present invention is as shown in FIG. 6 and FIG. The difference from the second embodiment is that an obstacle 80A is added to the game main body 2 of the first embodiment to form a game main body 2B of the second embodiment.

Here, the obstacle 80A constituting the game main body 2B different from the first embodiment is composed of protrusions 81A, 82A, 83A, 84A, 85A, 86A, 87A. It is arranged on the path of the upward vertices 30p, 30q, 30r, 30s, 30t, 30u, 30v. Regarding the positions at which these protrusions 81A, 82A, 83A, 84A, 85A, 86A, 87A are disposed, a specific portion is removed, they are disposed at random, or a specific point hole 41 is formed. , 42, 43, 44, 45, 46, and 47, the ball 20 may be concentrated on a specific portion so as to be stationary and discharged. Further, it is conceivable that the obstacle 80A is disposed at any position of the semicircle on the side where the ball 20 rises in the spiral body 30.

The obstacle 80A may pop out at various times, such as at all times, immediately after the start of the game, when the gamer desires, and so on. In this case, although not specifically shown in the figure, a device that issues a signal indicating the start and completion of the jumping out of the obstacle 80A is connected to the control circuit 60.

The game machine according to the present invention is configured as described above, and the operation thereof is the same as that of the first embodiment, and a description thereof will be omitted. However, when the timing at which the obstacle 80A pops out is specified by the wishes of the game player, the intention of the appearance of the obstacle 80A during the game is indicated.

(Fourth Embodiment of Game Body of Game Machine According to the Present Invention) A fourth embodiment of the game body of the game machine according to the present invention is as shown in FIG. The difference is that a spiral 30A is configured in the game main body 2C of the fourth embodiment instead of the spiral 30 forming the game main body 2 of the first embodiment.

In this case, the difficulty of the spiral 30A is adjusted by making the whole shape substantially triangular with the vertex at the bottom. In addition, as shown in FIG. 9, as shown in a fifth embodiment of the game body of the game machine according to the present invention, a spiral 30B is formed instead of the spiral 30 so that the overall shape of the spiral 30B is horizontal. An ellipse in the direction is also conceivable. Furthermore, an ellipse in the vertical direction, a substantially triangle having a vertex at the top, a substantially rhombus having a vertex at the top, a substantially square having a side at the top, a substantially pentagon having the apex at the top, a substantially pentagon having the apex at the bottom, ... And so on. It should be noted that the fourth and fifth embodiments may be implemented alone or in combination with the obstacles 80 and 80A of the second or third embodiment. It is also possible. 8 and 9, the downward vertices 30e, 30f, 30g, 30h, 30i, 30j, 30k, the upward vertices 30p, 30q, 30r, 30s, 30t, 30u, 30v, and the point holes 41 , 42, 43, 44, 45, 46, 47 are omitted because they are identical to the game main body 2.

The game machine according to the present invention is configured as described above, and its operation is the same as that of the first embodiment, and therefore will not be described.
