Description

Description: BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a prize ball receiving device for a pachinko machine having a solenoid for controlling a pair of opening and closing blades to rise and to tilt in an inverted C shape. 2. Description of the Related Art A prize ball receiving device of a conventional pachinko machine is provided with a pair of opening and closing members which stand almost in parallel to make it difficult for a ball to be hit, or tilt in an inverted C shape to make it easy to hit a ball. The structure includes a blade, and a solenoid that controls the standing and tilting operations of the opening and closing blade. [0003] In the above-mentioned conventional prize-winning ball receiving device, in any state of the opening and closing of the opening and closing blade and the tilting operation of the inverted C shape, the ball is inserted between the opening and closing blade. The hit ball is a safe ball, and a prize ball for the safe ball is paid out by a prize ball payout device separately installed. Since a ball hit between the opening and closing blades is always treated as a safe ball, it is undeniable that this point is monotonous. [0004] It is an object of the present invention to provide a novel prize ball receiver which functions so that a ball hit between the opening and closing blades becomes either a safe ball or an out ball depending on the posture state of the opening and closing blades. is there. [0005] In order to achieve the above object, according to the present invention, there is provided a winning ball receiving device comprising a solenoid for controlling a pair of opening and closing blades to stand up and tilt in an inverted C shape. A mouthpiece, wherein a ball inlet for guiding a hit ball rearward is provided on a mounting plate rotatably supporting the opening / closing blade, and each opening / closing blade protrudes rearward from the ball receiving piece below the support shaft and the mounting plate. In addition to providing an interlocking rod, a ball stopper piece is integrally formed on an edge on the mounting plate side, and a lever having an engaging groove formed on a support piece protruding from the back surface of the mounting plate is swingably supported. Along with
Engaging grooves to provide a distal end portion of the associated rod to loosely fitted, the plunger of the solenoid which is attached to the support piece is engaged with the upper end portion of the lever opening and closing the blade during standing of the closing blade The ball that passes between
It is provided to close the ball entrance with a ball stop piece so that the ball hits out and is an out ball, and the hit ball does not enter the ball entrance,
When the opening and closing blade is tilted, the received hit ball is guided to a ball inlet via a ball receiving piece to form a safe ball . According to a second aspect of the present invention, in order to achieve the same object, in the winning ball receiver of the pachinko machine according to the first aspect, the passage of a hit ball is detected by a proximity switch to provide another auxiliary. A gate for operating the gaming machine is provided above the opening and closing blade. When the opening and closing blade of the winning ball receiver is in an upright position, the ball entrance is provided so as to close the ball entrance with a ball stopper piece formed on the opening and closing blade. Even if it enters between the opening and closing blades, it will fall out as it is and become an out ball. Further, when the opening and closing blades are opened and tilted, the ball inlet is opened and the ball receiving pieces are provided so as to receive the hit balls received close to each other. For this reason, the ball hit between the opening and closing blades once rides on the ball receiving piece and then enters the ball inlet and becomes a safe ball. (2) A hit ball passing through a gate provided above the opening and closing blade is detected by a proximity switch, and a detection signal is transmitted to a control unit of the pachinko machine to operate another auxiliary game device. You can also. [0009] In the winning ball receiver of this pachinko machine, the ball hit between the opening and closing blades becomes an out ball or a safe ball depending on the upright or inverted C-shaped tilting posture of the opening and closing blade, and the behavior of the hit ball is improved. Since there is a change that does not exist in the conventional winning ball receiver, the monotonousness of the game is eliminated and the game is novel and interesting. Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. 1 is a front view showing the closed state of the opening and closing blade, FIG. 2 is a vertical sectional side view showing the closed state of the opening and closing blade, FIG. 3 is an exploded perspective view, and FIG. 4 is a perspective view showing the opened state of the opening and closing blade. FIG. 5 is a front view showing a state in which the opening and closing blades are open. In the drawing, reference numeral 1 denotes a mounting plate mounted on the front of a game board of a pachinko machine, and a ball inlet 2 for guiding a hit ball backward is provided substantially in the center thereof, and a ball inlet 2 slightly below the ball inlet 2 on the back. The guide piece 3 and the support pieces 4, 4 extending rearward from the ball projection 2 protrude from the ball inlet 2. A frame-shaped gate 5 for passing a ball is provided on the front surface of the mounting plate 1 above the ball entrance 2, and a mounting hole 6 for mounting a proximity switch S for detecting the passage of the ball is provided. To form On the front surface of the mounting plate 1, a pair of opening / closing blades 1 is supported by support shafts 9 and 9 extending between the cover piece 8 and the mounting plate 1.
0 and 10 are provided so as to be rotatably supported. These opening / closing blades 10 have a ball receiving piece 1 below the support shaft 9.
2, an interlocking rod 12 provided on the rear surface so as to protrude rearward from a through hole 7 formed in the mounting plate 1, and a tongue-shaped end edge 10a on the mounting plate 1 side, as shown in FIG. Ball stopper 13
Are integrally formed. The through holes 7 have a function as stoppers that regulate the range of movement of the interlocking rod 12 of each of the opening and closing blades 10. Reference numerals 15 and 15 denote a pair of L-shaped levers. As shown in FIG. 3, these levers 15 have an engaging groove 17 formed at the front end of a horizontal piece 15a extending from a bearing portion 16 and a bearing. A protruding piece 18 is integrally provided inside the upper end of the rising piece 15b extending from the portion 16. The levers 15 are pivotally supported inside the support pieces 4 by passing the pin 20 through the bearing 16. As shown in FIG. 2, the tip of the interlocking rod 12 of the opening / closing blade 10 is loosely fitted into the engagement groove 17 of each lever 15. A solenoid 22 having a plunger 23 urged by a spring 24 in a direction extending outward is fixed to a bracket 21 attached to the support pieces 4 and 4. Then, the tip concave portion 23a of the plunger 23
Are provided so as to engage with the projecting pieces 18 of the levers 15. Thus, when the opening and closing blades 10 and 10 stand up, the prize-ball receiving device, as shown in FIGS.
The ball hitting pieces 13, 13, so that the hitting ball x passes between the opening and closing blades 10 and 10, and the hitting ball x does not enter the ball inlet 2.
In addition, when the opening and closing blades 10 and 10 are tilted, as shown in FIG. 5, the received ball x is once received by the ball receiving pieces 11 and 11, and then the ball inlet 2 is closed. It is provided to lead to. As described above, in the winning ball receiver of this pachinko machine, the hit ball inserted between the opening and closing blades becomes an out ball or a safe ball depending on the standing or inverted C-shaped tilting state of the opening and closing blades. Since the behavior of the hit ball is changed which does not exist in the conventional winning ball receiving device, the game becomes more interesting.
