Is sent to the guide path 83 through the first distribution path 81,
It is punched upward by a tapping piece 121 described later. When the struck sphere 2 does not jump out from the upper end opening 65 of the guide path 67, it falls onto the guide path 83 in the guide path 67 due to its own weight. The falling sphere 2 is guided by the guide path 83.
Guided towards the corner of the first conveyor 90 into the lower opening of the first conveyor 90 and by the engagement pin 99 of the chain 95 the upper opening 9
7 and is returned to the sorting chamber 72 through the ramp 98.

Spheres 2 assigned to the second outlet 75
Enters the lower opening of the second conveyor 100 through the second distribution path 94, is carried to the upper opening 107 by the engagement pin of the chain 105, and passes through the inclined path 108 to reach the storage chamber 3.
2 is transferred to the inside. The sensor 36 detects the sphere 2 and sends a detection signal to the control means 201, and the sphere number calculation means 225 of the control means 201 integrates the outputs of the sensor 36 to determine the number of spheres 2 that have entered the storage chamber 32. calculate. When the predetermined number is reached, the control means 201 stops the rotation of the drive motor 106. In this embodiment, the predetermined number of spheres 2 to be put in the storage chamber 32 is seven.

When the drive motor 113 is driven, the rotating arm 115 rotates, and when the rotating arm 115 makes one rotation,
The rotating arm 115 is engaged with the rocking piece 117, so that the rocking piece 1
The spring 17 is swung counterclockwise against the elasticity of the spring 127. When the swinging piece 117 and the rotating arm 115 are released from each other, the elasticity of the spring 127 causes the hitting piece 1 to move.
21 is flipped upward, and the biasing spring 123 provided at the tip projects from the opening 84 formed in the guide path 83, and continuously ejects the spherical body 2 upward.

When the operation lever 151 is rotated, the rotary shaft 1
The drive pulley 150 rotates via 52, and the wire 14
The second arm 143 is pulled via 5, the first arm 142 rotates, and the spring 127 is extended. Therefore, the elastic force of the spring 127 is increased, and the hitting piece 121 strongly repels the sphere 2.

The struck sphere 2 jumps out of the upper end opening 65 of the guide path 67 and then falls on the surface of the game board 11 by its own weight. The sphere 2 has one of the upper passages 23a ...
Pass 23f. When passing, switches 25a-2
Turn on 5f. The passing scores of the passed upper passages 23a to 23f are displayed on the addition display units 27a to 27f, and these scores are accumulated by the score calculation unit 211 of the control unit 201, and the calculation result is displayed on the total score display unit 30. To be done. The scores displayed on the addition display units 27a to 27f are randomly changed by the addition score setting unit 213 of the control unit 201.

When the falling sphere 2 passes through the lower passage 52, the switch 53 is turned on. Control means 201
The passage calculating means 217 calculates the total number of ON switches 53, that is, the number of passages of the sphere 2. When it becomes equal to or more than the predetermined value, the control means 201 releases the drive of the drive motor 113 to stop the launching means 111, and then drives the electric actuator 39 to contract the operating shaft 41. The mounting plate 35 is inclined, and the plurality of spheres 2 mounted on the mounting plate 35
Falls on the surface of the game board 11 through the opening 43 of the game board 11. Since the plurality of spheres 2 fall at once, the passing score of the upper passages 23a to 23f can be earned at a stretch.

In this embodiment, the predetermined value for passing through the lower passage 52 is set to 6 times or more, and when the sphere 2 passes through the lower passage 52 six times, the sphere 2 of the mounting plate 35 falls. There is. Also, each time the sphere 2 passes through the lower passage 52 and turns on the switch 53, the LEDs of the passage display section 56 are turned on one by one, and it is possible to visually recognize how many passes.

The control means 201 drives the electric actuator 39 to extend the operating shaft 41 to return the mounting plate 35 to the original state, and also drives the drive motor 113 to operate the launching means 111, The sphere 2 is continuously ejected, and the drive motor 106 is driven to drive the storage chamber 32.
Sphere 2 is replenished inside. As described above, the sensor 36 detects the sphere 2 and sends a detection signal to the control means 201,
The sphere count calculation means 225 of the control means 201 causes the sensor 36 to
When the outputs of the above are integrated and reach a predetermined number, the control means 201
Stops the rotation of the drive motor 106.

When approximately 60 seconds have passed from the start, the timer means 207 of the control means 201 is stopped and the control means 201 stops the drive motors 80, 96, 106, 113. When the score displayed on the total score display section 30 exceeds the predetermined score, the control means 201 drives a drive motor (not shown) to rotate the rotary table 162 and drop the prize 8 into the take-out box 171. In this embodiment, the predetermined score is set to 1000 points, but the present invention is not limited to this.

This prize 8 is provided from the outlet 181 to the opening / closing plate 1.
73 can be opened and taken out. A sensor 209 is provided at the drop opening 165 to detect whether or not the prize 8 has fallen, and if not detected, the rotary table 162 is rotated again. The guide hole 161 for carrying the prize 8 is
Since the rotary table 162 is formed at four places, the control means 201 rotates the rotary table 162 by ¼.

The above-mentioned scores displayed on the addition display sections 27a to 27f randomly fluctuate as described above, but the entire upper and lower range of the fluctuations should be controlled by the addition score setting means 213 of the control means 201. You can
For example, if a lot of prizes 8 remain, the range of the score that fluctuates randomly is set between 60 and 80 points, and the prize 8
If the number of points decreases, it is possible to make it difficult to obtain the prize 8 by setting the range of the points that randomly fluctuate between 10 points and 30 points.

The number of the dropped prizes 8 is controlled by the control means 2.
The drop calculation means 221 of 01 can integrate and calculate based on the detection signal of the sensor 209. Therefore, if, for example, 200 prizes 8 are stored in the game apparatus main body 3, it is detected that 100 drops and are taken out by the sensor 2
When 09 is detected, the addition score setting means 213 of the control means 201 can lower the range of the randomly varying scores to make it difficult to obtain the prize 8. If the prize 8 is expensive, it is possible to make the difficulty of acquiring the prize higher by using a dip switch or the like to lower the entire upper and lower ranges in which the score fluctuates from the beginning.

[0074]

As described above, the present invention claims 1.
According to the invention of claim 1, when a sphere is hit upward by a hitting means, the sphere is naturally dropped, and when passing through an upper passage in the process of dropping, points are added and a prize is won when a total score exceeds a predetermined score. Therefore, there is an effect that it is possible to provide a prize acquisition game device having a novel structure which is not possible in the past. Furthermore, in this prize acquisition game device, since the added points randomly change, a certain point cannot be obtained even if the player hits a sphere aiming at a predetermined passage. It has the effect of not sticking. Furthermore, this freebie game
The device calculates the number of drops of prizes and adds them according to the number of drops.
Change the fluctuation value of the score and change the difficulty level of the prize
Has the effect of being able to

According to another aspect of the present invention, in the prize acquisition game device, a lower passage is provided in addition to the upper passage, and the number of spheres passing through the lower passage is calculated. Since a plurality of spheres are dropped separately from the means, it is possible to earn points at a stretch.

In the prize-winning game device according to a third aspect of the present invention, the launch means is provided with a start switch for starting the game, and the start switch is turned on by the operation of the launch means.
Since there is no need to provide a separate start push button,
There is an effect that the operating section can be made compact.
