DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a ball receiving and lighting device for a ball receiving tray for illuminating and displaying a display for displaying the opening and closing of a ball removing hole in a ball receiving and removing device for a ball receiving plate of a pachinko machine. .

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, as a ball removing device for a ball receiving tray in a pachinko machine of this type, a cover for covering a front surface of a tray body for opening a ball removing hole to indicate that the ball is being removed. Provide a ball-free display section with "open" displayed on the front of the frame,
A lamp is built into the display unit, a detection piece is fixed on the upper surface of a shutter plate for opening and closing a hole for opening a ball, and a detection switch for detecting opening and closing is provided on the plate body. When the sensor is moved to a position where the shutter is released, a detection piece is detected by a detection switch, and a lamp is turned on by the detection signal to indicate that the ball is being removed (see JP-A-6-178860). ).

[0003]

In the ball punching device described in the prior art, since it is necessary to provide a detection plate on the shutter plate and a detection switch on the plate body, the structure is complicated, costly, and it is difficult to play. The switch is apt to be broken because the player handles the shutter plate violently, causing a detection failure and not turning on when it should be turned on, or conversely turning on when it is not relevant to the player and employees. This causes an unpleasant situation, and the employee has to look into each lower plate to check whether the lighting device is erroneously turned on, which takes extra time and significantly shortens the life of the detection switch. There was a problem.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In view of the above-mentioned problems of the prior art, the present invention does not use a detection switch, but uses a predetermined display portion such as "open" or "close" provided on the front surface of an edge frame of a ball receiving tray. Show a clear, irradiation illuminated constantly from the internal lighting means
Bright can be displayed, when moved from the display unit a light shielding plate upon opening of the closing member, simply to expose a predetermined display of the illuminated display unit, receiving among sphere employees pachinko hall entire island pachinko It can be checked at a glance whether or not the lighting of the lower plate is open, depending on whether the lighting is on or not.The ball removing device is closed as soon as it is found, and the player mistakenly removes the prize ball. It is an object of the present invention to provide an illumination display device for removing a ball from a ball receiving tray in a pachinko machine, which prevents a situation of scattering from a hole to a floor or the like.

[0005]

In order to achieve the above object, a ball-less illumination display device for a ball-receiving lower plate in a pachinko hall machine according to the present invention is characterized in that a lower plate body provided with a ball- hole 2 is provided. 1, an edge frame 3 provided on the front surface of the lower plate main body 1 and provided with a display portion 4 for displaying "open" and "closed" of a hole for removing balls, and a frame plate mounted on the bottom of the lower plate main body 1 5 and a shielding plate which is located in a sliding space formed between the lower plate main body 1 and is urged by a spring 7 to a position for closing the ball hole 2 and capable of opening and closing the ball hole 2 by sliding. 8 and a front and rear opening / closing member 6 provided with a light-shielding plate 9 capable of opening and closing a predetermined display on the display unit in front of the display unit of the frame 3 so that the opening / closing member can be locked at the open position. In the display device without a ball, the display unit 4 of the frame 3 is transparent, and a lighting unit 10 such as a light bulb for constantly illuminating the display unit. Installed, when moving the shielding plate 9 of the closing member 6 opens the display of "open" is intended to expose a display of "open" which is illuminated by illuminating means 10.

The locking structure of the opening / closing member 6 is not limited to this.

[0029]

According to the first aspect of the present invention, there is provided an illumination display device for removing balls from a ball receiving tray in a pachinko machine according to the present invention. Since the means is set to be constantly illuminated, there is no need to use an electric switch for detecting opening / closing of a ball hole, and the apparatus itself is economical, low in cost, and uses an electric switch that is prone to failure. Since there are no products, the inspection at the time of shipment of the product can be shortened, and the cost can be reduced. Further, since there is no failure on the pachinko hall side after the shipment of the product, the cost of maintenance can be reduced.

Further, as described above, the illuminating means does not have a switch as in the prior art and is set so as to keep the illuminating, so that even if the player handles the opening / closing member roughly, erroneous lighting does not occur. Since the illuminated display is only hidden or exposed by opening and closing the light-shielding plate, it is possible to bring out the stability and durability of the product without failure and to have the effect of extending the life. . In addition, since switches that cause failures are not used as in the past, there is no risk of erroneous lighting, so that players etc. will not be uncomfortable by erroneous opening and closing of the hall by employees etc. There is no need to perform extra work such as checking the lighting device of the lower plate at the time and after closing.

[0031] and also the opening of the ball vent holes, "open" in the display unit 4 in the light shielding plate when closing the constantly illuminated by ball vent holes in the light bulb or the like lighting means a predetermined display of the display unit for displaying the閉等display Hide the
When exposing the "open" display by moving the light blocking plate when opening the ball hole, the display can be illuminated, so that employees of pachinko halls can look into the ball hole of the ball receiving plate of each pachinko machine. You can easily see at a glance if the ball hole is open from a distance without getting in, and easily check if there are any ball hole holes in the pachinko machines on the whole island that are open. It is convenient to check. If the display of "open" is illuminated, a player or the like can easily notice that the ball is in a ball-pulling state, and it is possible to eliminate a situation in which prize balls are erroneously scattered on the floor from the ball-pulling hole.

According to a second aspect of the present invention, the transparent "open" indication on the display section is constantly illuminated in red and the "closed" indication is constantly illuminated in blue, and when the ball hole is closed, the "closed" indication is exposed and illuminated in blue. When the ball hole is opened, the "open" display is exposed and can be illuminated and displayed in red. In the invention of claim 3 , a seal in which the "open" display and the "closed" display of the display section are divided into different colors is always provided. Light up,
When the ball hole is closed, the blue "closed" display is displayed, and when it is open, the red "open" display is exposed and illuminated, so that employees of pachinko halls can open the ball hole with the color emitted by the lighting.
It is convenient to check at a glance whether or not it is.

According to the fourth aspect of the present invention, the "open" display on the display unit is illuminated as transparent and the "closed" display is opaque.
When the “open” display is exposed, the “open” display is illuminated, so employees at pachinko halls can see at a glance whether or not the ball hole is “open” with the light emitted by the lighting. It is convenient to check.

[0034] Since it is only necessary to allow illumination constantly illuminating means according to the invention of claim 5 pachinko machine electric board or the like, the electrical circuit device becomes very simple and cost lower.
