Description

【０００１】
【発明の属する分野】
本発明は弾球遊技機用役物に関する。
【０００２】
【従来の技術】
近年、パチンコ機に代表される弾球遊技機において、いわゆる羽根物と呼ばれる第二種遊技機では、例えば特定の入賞口に弾球が入賞した場合に羽根とも称される閉塞部材が開き、役物内部に弾球を導入可能となるようなゲーム形態が採られる。役物内部には、例えば特別入賞口が設けられ、その特別入賞口に弾球が入賞して一定条件が整えば、或いは特別入賞口に弾球が入賞すれば遊技者にとって有利な遊技状態が発生するような遊技機が広く知られている。このような弾球遊技機において、閉塞部材は一定の遊技条件が整った場合のみ開放可能とされるのが一般的である。
【０００３】
しかしながら、例えば、パチンコ機前面枠の隙間等から針金などを差し入れて閉塞部材を故意に開放するといった不正行為が発生しており、これにより、当たり状態が発生していないにもかかわらず賞球が不正に獲得されてしまう問題も生じている。
【０００４】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
本発明の解決すべき課題は、閉塞部材を外部から強制的に開放位置に引き倒すことが困難でありひいては不正行為等を効果的に防止できる弾球遊技機用役物を提供することにある。
【０００５】
【課題を解決するための手段及び作用・効果】
上記のような課題を解決するために、本発明の弾球遊技機用役物は、
遊技球を受け入れる入賞口と、
その入賞口において開閉可能に取り付けられ、入賞口を塞ぐ閉塞位置と、その閉塞位置から入賞口を開く開放位置との間で開閉駆動されるとともに、役物本体が取り付けられる遊技盤の盤面に沿った開放位置と閉塞位置が設定される閉塞部材と、
駆動出力部を有し、その駆動出力部を、閉塞部材を閉塞位置に位置させるための第一変位状態と、同じく開放位置に位置させるための第二変位状態との間で駆動変位させる駆動アクチュエータと、
駆動出力部の変位を、閉塞部材の回転変位に変換しつつ該閉塞部材に伝達するとともに、閉塞位置にある閉塞部材に対し開放位置へ変位させようとする強制操作力が加えられた場合に、駆動出力部が第一変位状態にある場合には閉塞部材の開放位置への移動を阻止し、同じく第二変位状態にある場合には閉塞部材の開放位置への移動を許容する強制開放保護機能を有する伝達機構と、を備え、
その伝達機構は、
駆動出力部の動作と連動して変位動作するとともに、遊技盤の盤面と直交する所定の回動軸線周りに回動可能に設けられ、その回動軸線から回動半径方向において一定距離隔たった位置に第一側作用部が形成される第一回動部材と、
駆動出力部の動作と連動して変位動作するとともに、遊技盤の盤面と交差する向きに配置され、閉塞部材と直接又は他部材を介して連結された回動伝達軸が、その閉塞部材の開閉に対応した形で回動可能に設けられ、その回動伝達軸から回動半径方向において一定距離隔たった位置に第二側作用部が形成される第二回動部材とを有し、
該第二回動部材は、閉塞位置にある閉塞部材を開放位置に向けて強制変位させる動作と連動させて所定の方向に変位動作するように構成し、
第一回動部材は、駆動出力部の変位状態が第一変位状態と第二変位状態との間で遷移するに伴い、第一側作用部が第二回動部材の回動を阻止するよう第二側作用部と干渉する干渉位置と、第二回動部材の回動を許容するように第二側作用部の変位経路より退避する退避位置との間で動くように構成し、
さらに、前記伝達機構は、前記駆動アクチュエータによる前記駆動出力部の前記第一変位状態から第二変位状態への移行に伴って、前記第一回動部材及び第二回動部材の回動を生じさせるとともに、前記第二回動部材より先に前記第一回動部材の回動を開始させることにより前記第一側作用部を前記第二側作用部の変位経路より退避させた後、前記第二回動部材を回動させる中間伝達部材を有することを特徴とする。
【０００６】
上記構成によれば、遊技機の盤面に沿って閉塞部材が変位するような役物（例えば、いわゆる羽根物と呼ばれるような役物）を備える弾球遊技機において不正遊技が効果的に防止できる。即ち、駆動出力部が第一変位状態にある場合には閉塞部材の開放位置への移動を阻止し、同じく第二変位状態にある場合には閉塞部材の開放位置への移動を許容する強制開放保護機構を設けたため、閉塞位置にある閉塞部材を外部から強制的に開放位置に引き倒すことが困難であり、ひいては不正行為の防止に大いに寄与する。
【０００７】
なお、上記構成の伝達機構とすることによって、第一回動部材は、駆動出力部が第一変位状態にある場合には、強制操作力に基づく第二回動部材の変位を阻害する阻害位置に移動し、同じく第二変位状態にある場合には第二回動部材の変位を許容する許容位置に移動するように構成することができる。
【０００８】
そして、第一回動部材が干渉位置に移動した状態では、第二回動部材に形成された第二側作用部の変位経路上に、第一回動部材に形成された第一側作用部が位置することにより、第二側作用部と第一側作用部とが干渉して第二回動部材の変位動作が阻止される一方、第一回動部材が退避位置に移動した状態では、第二側作用部の変位経路から第一側作用部が退避することにより、第二側作用部と第一側作用部との干渉が回避され、第二回動部材の変位動作が許容される。
【００１０】
このように伝達機構において回動部材を設けた構成とすることで、各回動部材とそれを支持する回動支点により駆動力を伝達する機構と強制開放保護機構の要部が構成できる。たとえば、仮にこのような機構をスライド機構等によって構成した場合には、スライド機構等に特有な特別なガイド部材（例えば、ガイドレール等）が必要となり、部品数増加、装置構成の複雑化は避けられなくなる。上記構成によればこのような部材を設ける必要もなく、機構構成の簡略化を図ることができる。その結果、遊技機用役物の装置のコンパクト化、部品数減少、製造コスト削減等に寄与することとなる。
【００１１】
さらに、中間伝達部材は、閉塞部材の回転軸線と略平行な軸線周りに回動可能に支持されるとともに、第二側作用部において第二回動部材と当接して、自身の回転変位をその第二回動部材の回動変位に変換しつつ伝達し、
閉塞位置において中間伝達部材と第二側作用部との間には所定量の隙間が形成され、駆動出力部が第一変位状態から第二変位状態に移行するにつれて該隙間が縮小されるように中間伝達部材が変位し、その変位が所定量に達して当該隙間が解消された後、第二回動部材の回動が開始されるようになっており、
第二回動部材より先に第一回動部材の回動を開始させることにより第一側作用部を第二側作用部の変位経路より退避させた後、第二回動部材を回動させるようにできる。
【００１２】
このように、閉塞位置において中間伝達部材と第二側作用部との間には所定量の隙間を形成し、中間伝達部材の変位が所定量に達して当該隙間が解消された後、第二回動部材の回動が開始されるようにすることで、複雑な装置構成を採らずとも隙間の形成のみで第二回動部材の回動開始に遅れを生じさせるようにできる。その結果、第一側作用部の退避動作を第二側作用部の動作よりも先に行えることとなり、駆動出力部の変位が生じたときのみ第二側作用部が変位できる機構が達成できる。即ち、駆動出力部からの駆動によれば閉塞部材は開放位置に変位できることとなる。そして、上記構成によれば、このような機構を部品数を増加させることなく部品形状に特徴をもたせることのみにより行うことができ、極めて効果的で、かつ実施容易な機構となる。
【００１３】
【発明の実施の形態】
本発明の実施の形態を図面に示す実施例を参照しつつ説明する。
本発明の弾球遊技機用役物（以下、遊技機用役物又は役物ともいう）は、図２に示されるように、遊技球を受け入れる入賞口９と、その入賞口において開閉可能に取り付けられ、入賞口を塞ぐ閉塞位置と、その閉塞位置から入賞口を開く開放位置との間で開閉駆動されるとともに、役物本体が取り付けられる遊技盤６（図１参照）の盤面に沿った開放位置と閉塞位置が設定される閉塞部材を備えた構成となっている。なお、図２は閉塞部材１０の閉塞位置、図８は閉塞部材１０の開放位置に付いて示している。本実施例では、閉塞部材１０は遊技盤の盤面と交差する（例えば盤面に対し略直角に交差する）回動軸線を有して該軸線周りに回動可能に取り付けられ、自身の回動により遊技盤６の盤面方向に変位するように設けられる。即ち、側方に倒伏することにより開放位置となるように構成される。なお、回動による側方への倒伏に限らず、盤面方向へ変位する閉塞部材（例えば盤面方向にスライドする等）であれば盤面に沿った閉塞、開放の位置設定という概念に含まれるものとする。
【００１４】
なお、図１は本発明の適用対象となる弾球遊技機の一例を模式的に示しており、図１の例では弾球遊技機１（以下、単に遊技機１とも言う）において遊技機用役物２が遊技盤中央付近に設けられ、いわゆる第二種遊技機として構成されている。弾球遊技機１は遊技盤６上において遊技機用役物２とともに、例えば、閉塞部材１０の開放についてのスイッチング機能をもつ始動入賞口７，８や、その他の公知の役物、装飾部品等（風車、ランプ等）当業者が容易に推測し得るものであればいずれも備えることができる。そして、遊技者による発射ハンドル３の操作により遊技盤に向けて遊技球を発射でき、盤面上を流下する遊技球が様々な遊技態様を生み出すこととなる。
【００１５】
弾球遊技機用役物２の概要を説明すると以下の通りである。即ち、図３（ａ）の背面図及び（ｂ）の側面図にて示されるように、駆動出力部としての駆動軸２７を有する駆動アクチュエータとしてのソレノイド１９が遊技盤の盤面方向（本実施例では遊技盤上下方向）への駆動力を生じさせるように設けられる。そして、ソレノイド１９は直線的駆動力を生じさせるリニアアクチュエータとして機能する。駆動出力部としての駆動軸２７は閉塞部材１０を閉塞位置に位置させるための第一変位状態と、同じく開放位置に位置させるための第二変位状態（図９等参照）との間で駆動変位することとなる。なお、上記構成のように駆動アクチュエータをリニアアクチュエータとすることで２次元的スペース利用がなされ、スペースの有効利用につながる。また、リニアアクチュエータを遊技盤の盤面方向への駆動力を生じさせるように設けることで遊技盤の奥行き方向の必要スペースを狭くすることができ、効率的なアクチュエータの配置となる。
【００１６】
さらに、駆動出力部の変位、即ち駆動軸２７の変位を閉塞部材１０の回転変位に変換しつつその閉塞部材１０に伝達する伝達機構（後述）が備えられる。そして、閉塞位置にある閉塞部材１０に対し開放位置へ変位させようとする強制操作力が加えられた場合に、駆動出力部が第一変位状態にある場合には閉塞部材１０の開放位置への移動を阻止し、同じく第二変位状態にある場合には閉塞部材の開放位置への移動を許容する強制開放保護機構が備えられることとなる。これにより、例えば閉塞部材１０の不正な開放操作が防止されることとなり遊技機の防犯に大いに寄与することとなるが、この強制開放保護機構については以下において詳細に説明する。
【００１７】
図４及び図５には強制開放保護機構等を備えた伝達機構からなる開閉機構部５の要部についての斜視図を示し、図４は正面、図５は背面からを示している。
【００１８】
伝達機構は、駆動出力部の動作と連動して変位動作する第一伝達主体としての第一回動部材２３と、その駆動出力部の動作と連動して変位動作する第二伝達主体としての第二回動部材１４を備えた構成とされる。
【００１９】
そして、第一回動部材２３は遊技盤の盤面と直交する所定の回動軸線周りに回動可能に設けられるとともに、その回動軸線から回動半径方向において一定距離隔たった位置に第一側作用部２４（図５参照）が形成される。さらに、第二回動部材１４は、遊技盤６の盤面と交差する向きに配置されるとともに閉塞部材１０と直接又は他部材を介して連結された回動伝達軸１２が、閉塞部材１０の開閉に対応した形で回動可能に設けられ、その回動伝達軸１２から回動半径方向において一定距離隔たった位置に第二側作用部１６が形成される。なお、本実施例においては、閉塞部材１０と第二回動部材１４は回動伝達軸１２を介して固定され、これら部材は一体的に回動する。なお、回動伝達軸１２と第二回動部材１４は第二回動部材１４における固定端部１４ａにて一体的に固定され、第二回動部材１４が回動することにより、その回動方向に対し略垂直に形成される回動伝達軸１２が閉塞部材とともに回動することとなる。
【００２０】
この伝達機構の作用概要を述べると、第一伝達主体としての第一回動部材２３は、駆動出力部が第一変位状態にある場合、即ち図４、図５等に示されるように閉塞部材１０が閉塞位置にある場合には、強制操作力に基づく第二回動部材２３の変位を阻害する阻害位置をとる。そして、駆動出力部が第二変位状態にある場合、即ち図１０、図１１の斜視図等に示されるように閉塞部材が開放位置にある場合には、第一回動部材２３は第二回動部材１４の変位を許容する許容位置に移動する機構となる。
【００２１】
図６（ａ）ないし（ｃ）は閉塞位置から開放位置までの閉塞部材１０（図３等参照）を移行させる機構について順に説明している。以下、具体的伝達機構の作用について図６を参照して説明する。図６（ａ）に示されるように、閉塞部材１０の回転軸線と略平行な軸線周りに回動可能に支持されるとともに、第二側作用部１６，１６において第二回動部材１４，１４と当接することにより、自身の回転変位を第二回動部材１４，１４の回動変位に変換しつつ伝達する中間伝達部材２０，２０が備えられる。中間伝達部材２０，２０は、リニアアクチュエータとしてのソレノイド１９の駆動軸２７と連結するスライド部材３４からの直線的駆動力を回転力に変換する機構とされる。なお、本実施例においてソレノイド１９からの駆動力が遊技盤上下方向、（図６の例では図面上下方向）に発生するように、遊技盤上下方向に往復動する駆動軸２７を備えてソレノイド１９が配置される。なお、本実施例では図４、５等に示されるように、第一回動部材２３及び、第二回動部材１４はその回動方向を遊技盤の盤面方向としており、さらに中間伝達部材２０及びスライド部材３４の移動方向も遊技盤の盤面方向とされる。このように、各部材の移動方向がともに遊技盤の盤面方向となるように構成することで、遊技盤の奥行き方向の部材の移動がなく、スペースの有効利用が図られる。
【００２２】
周知のごとく、ソレノイド１９は、図示しないコイルの通電・励磁により駆動軸２７を駆動出力部としてこれを往復動させるものであり、その駆動出力部としての駆動軸２７には、該駆動出力部と一体的にスライドするスライド部材３４が設けられる。また、駆動軸２７の外側には、弾性部材として駆動軸２７をソレノイド１９から抜き出す方向に付勢するとともに、例えば駆動軸２７と同軸的に備えられるコイルバネ４０が備えられる。
【００２３】
コイルバネ４０の一端側には駆動軸２７に固定又は一体的に形成されてコイルバネ４０からの弾性力を駆動軸２７に伝達するストッパー２５が形成され、他端側はソレノイド１９における駆動軸２７の入出孔（図示略）の外周部に当接しており、図６（ａ）に示される閉塞位置においてはスライド部材３４の移動限度となる位置まで駆動軸２７を付勢して、第一変位状態を維持している。そして、例えば特定の遊技態様が生じて閉塞部材１０（図３）を開放する必要が生じた場合には、遊技機における制御部からの指令を受けてソレノイド１９が励磁され、駆動軸２７がコイルバネ４０の弾性力に抗してソレノイド１９の内部方向に移動して第二変位状態（図６（ｃ）の状態、即ち閉塞部材１０（図３）の開放状態）をとる。また、開放位置にある閉塞部材１０（図３）を閉塞する必要が生じた場合には、ソレノイド１９の励磁を解除することによりコイルバネ４０の弾性復帰力が生じ、第一変位状態に戻る。なお、遊技機からのソレノイドへの指令等については公知であるので詳細は省略する。
【００２４】
そして、中間伝達部材２０，２０は回動軸２１を中心として回動可能に構成されるとともに、その回動軸２１から回動半径方向に所定距離隔たった位置においてスライド部材側に突出する第一突出部３２，３２が形成され、その第一突出部３２，３２はスライド部材３４に形成された第一長孔３０，３０に挿入される。そして、駆動軸２７，２７の往復動、即ちスライド部材３４の往復動を受けて、第一突出部３２，３２が第一長孔３０，３０に対し相対的に往復動するように変換され、中間伝達部材２０，２０の回動力が生じることとなる。
【００２５】
さらに図６（ａ）に示されるように、中間伝達部材２０は、第一回動部材２３の回動を生じさせる第一回動作用部として形成される第二突出部３３が設けられる。この第二突出部３３は第一回動部材２３側に突出するとともにその第一回動部材２３において略長孔形状として形成される第二長孔３６内に挿入された構成をとる。第一回動部材２３は回動支点３８を中心として回動可能となっており、さらに本実施例では、閉塞状態において第一回動部材２３が第二突出部３３と第二長孔３６内にて当接するように、当該第一回動部材２３の自重によるモーメントが絶えず生じている。そして、駆動出力部が第一変位状態から第二変位状態に移行する際において、中間伝達部材２０は第一回動部材２３の自重によるモーメントに抗して作用し（即ち、第二突出部３３が第一回動部材２３を押し上げ）、中間伝達部材２０の回動開始と同時に第一回動部材２３の回動が開始される。
【００２６】
また、中間伝達部材２０の回動半径方向の端部近傍において、第二回動部材１４の回動を生じさせる第二回動作用部として形成される回動作用孔１８が形成され、その回動作用孔１８内に第二側作用部１６が挿入される。そして、図６（ａ）に示されるような閉塞位置において中間伝達部材と第二側作用部との間には所定量の隙間が形成されるような構成とされる。即ち、回動作用孔１８の孔面積は第二側作用部１６の断面面積よりも大きくなるように形成される。
【００２７】
そして、駆動出力部が第一変位状態から第二変位状態に移行するにつれ、即ち図６（ａ）から図６（ｂ）、図６（ｃ）へと移行するにつれ、該隙間が縮小されるように中間伝達部材２０が変位する。そして、図６（ｂ）に示されるようにその変位が所定量に達して当該隙間が解消された後、第二回動部材１４の回動が開始されて図６（ｃ）に示されるような開放状態へと移行する。（なお、図６（ｃ）の状態に対応する遊技機用役物２については図８及び図９に示し、その開閉機構の斜視図については図１０及び図１１に示している。）換言すれば、閉塞位置にある状態からの中間伝達部材２０の回動開始に遅れて第二回動部材１４の回動が開始される。このような構成を採れば、隙間の形成のみで第二回動部材１４の回動開始を遅らせることができる。即ち、特別な部品等を用いずとも形状に特徴をもたせることのみで効果を上げ、また、その形状に形成するために必要となる加工も極めて容易に行える。
【００２８】
そして、中間伝達部材２０は、駆動出力部が第一変位状態から第二変位状態に移行する際において、第二回動部材１４より先に第一回動部材２３の回動を開始させることにより第一側作用部２４を第二側作用部１６の変位経路より退避させることとなる。このように、複雑な装置構成を採らずとも各回動部材に時間差をもたせることのみで第二側作用部の変位経路から第一側作用部を退避させることができるため、実施容易な機構となる。特に、上記したように隙間の形成のみにより回動開始の時間差を生じさせることができるため、装置構成は簡素化が図れ、装置の軽量化、コンパクト化等にも寄与する。
【００２９】
次に、強制開放保護機構について述べる。
図６（ａ）ないし（ｃ）のように、閉塞位置にある閉塞部材１０（図３）を開放位置に向けて強制変位させるに伴い、第二伝達主体としての第二回動部材１４はこれと連動して所定の方向に変位動作する一方、第一伝達主体としての第一回動部材２３は、駆動出力部の変位状態が第一変位状態と第二変位状態との間で遷移するに伴い、干渉位置（図６（ａ））と退避位置（図６（ｃ））との間で動くようになっている。
【００３０】
そして、第一回動部材２３が干渉位置に移動した状態では、第二回動部材１４に形成された第二側作用部１６の変位経路上に、第一回動部材２３に形成された第一側作用部２４が位置することにより、第二側作用部１６と第一側作用部２４とが干渉して第二伝達主体の変位動作（本実施例では第二回動部材１４の回動動作）が阻止される。なお、図７は閉塞位置にある閉塞部材１０（図３）に強制操作力が生じ、第二側作用部１６と第一側作用部２４とが干渉している状態を示している。一方、図６（ｃ）のように、第一回動部材２３が退避位置に移動した状態では、第二側作用部１６の変位経路から第一側作用部２４が退避することにより、第二側作用部１６と第一側作用部２４との干渉が回避され、第二伝達主体の変位動作（本実施例では第二回動部材１４の回動動作）が許容されることとなる。
【００３１】
図７のように、閉塞位置にある閉塞部材１０が開放位置に向けて強制移動される場合には、第二側作用部１６は、阻害位置にある第一回動部材２３の回動半径方向に第一側作用部２４との当接力が生じるように構成される。換言すれば、第二側作用部１６の当接方向の延長上には第一回動部材２３の回動支点部３８が位置し、第二側作用部１６の作用によっては第一回動部材２３にトルクが生じないようになっている。さらに、本実施例においては、第一側作用部２４は第二側作用部１６と当接する位置において、その第二側作用部１６の当接方向に対し略垂直となる部分（例えば垂直面）を有する垂直当接部が形成される。なお、第一側作用部２４の形状は垂直に限らず、第二側作用部１６からの当接によって第一回動部材２３にその回動方向への分力を発生させない形状であればよい。例えば、第一回動部材２３の回動半径方向に窪んだ円弧状の凹部を形成することもできる。これにより、第二回動部材１４の回動による第二側作用部１６の当接力は、第一回動部材２３の回動半径方向のみに作用することとなる。これにより、閉塞部材１０（図３参照）に強制操作力が加えられた場合、第二側作用部１６の移動が第一側作用部２４によって阻害され、かつ第二側作用部１６の移動方向は第一回動部材２３の回動半径方向となっているため、第二側作用部１６による当接力は第一回動部材２３の回動力発生には寄与せず、閉塞部材１０に強制操作力が加えられてもロック効果が保たれることとなる。

[Field of the Invention]
The present invention relates to an accessory for a ball game machine.
[0002]
[Prior art]
In recent years, in a ball game machine represented by a pachinko machine, in a second-class game machine called a so-called feather object, for example, when a ball wins a specific prize opening, a closing member called a blade opens, A game form is adopted in which a ball can be introduced inside the object. For example, a special prize opening is provided inside the character, and if a ball enters the special prize opening and a certain condition is set, or if a ball enters the special prize opening, a gaming state advantageous to the player can be obtained. Such game machines are widely known. In such a ball game machine, it is general that the closing member can be opened only when certain gaming conditions are met.
[0003]
However, for example, an illegal act such as inserting a wire through the gap in the front frame of the pachinko machine and intentionally opening the closing member has occurred. There has also been a problem of illegal acquisition.
[0004]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
The problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide a ball game machine accessory that makes it difficult to forcibly pull the closing member from the outside to the open position, and thus can effectively prevent fraud. .
[0005]
[Means for solving the problems and actions / effects]
In order to solve the above-described problems, the ball game machine accessory of the present invention is:
A winning entrance that accepts game balls,
It is attached to the winning opening so that it can be opened and closed, and is driven to open and close between a closed position that closes the winning opening and an open position that opens the winning opening from the closed position, and along the board surface of the game board to which the main body of the prize is attached A closing member in which the open position and the closing position are set;

A transmission mechanism having
The transmission mechanism is
A position that is displaced in conjunction with the operation of the drive output unit and that can be rotated about a predetermined rotation axis perpendicular to the board surface of the game board, and that is separated from the rotation axis by a certain distance in the rotation radius direction. A first rotating member on which a first side action portion is formed;
The rewritable displacement operation in conjunction with the operation of the drive output unit is arranged in a direction intersecting the game board of board, closing member directly or the rotation transmitting shaft which is consolidated through other members, that the closing member closing rotatably provided in a form corresponding to the, and a second rotation member which second side operating portion is formed at a position spaced Oite predetermined distance the rotation transmission shaft or Ra rotating radial Have
The second rotating member is configured to be displaced in a predetermined direction in conjunction with an operation of forcibly displacing the closing member at the closing position toward the open position,
As for the 1st rotation member, the 1st side action part seems to prevent rotation of the 2nd rotation member as the displacement state of a drive output part changes between the 1st displacement state and the 2nd displacement state. It is configured to move between an interference position that interferes with the second side action part and a retreat position that retreats from the displacement path of the second side action part so as to allow rotation of the second rotation member,
Further, the transmission mechanism causes the first rotation member and the second rotation member to rotate in accordance with the transition of the drive output unit by the drive actuator from the first displacement state to the second displacement state. And the first side action part is retracted from the displacement path of the second side action part by starting the rotation of the first rotation member prior to the second rotation member, An intermediate transmission member for rotating the two rotation members is provided.
[0006]
According to the above-described configuration, illegal games can be effectively prevented in a ball game machine provided with an accessory (for example, a so-called winged object) whose closing member is displaced along the board surface of the gaming machine. . That is, when the drive output unit is in the first displacement state, the closing member is prevented from moving to the open position, and when the drive output unit is also in the second displacement state, the opening is forcibly allowing the closing member to move to the open position. Since the protection mechanism is provided, it is difficult to forcibly pull down the closing member at the closing position from the outside to the open position, which greatly contributes to prevention of fraud.
[0007]
In addition, by setting it as the transmission mechanism of the said structure , when the drive output part is in a 1st displacement state , the 1st rotation member inhibits the displacement of the 2nd rotation member based on a forced operation force. When the second displacement member is in the second displacement state, the second rotation member can be moved to an allowable position.
[0008]
In a state where the first rotating member moves to the interference position, the second side operating portion of the displacement path on which is formed on the second pivot member, the first side operating portion which is formed on the first rotation member by but located, while the displacement movement of the second pivot member and the second side operating portion and the first side operating portion is interference is prevented, in a state in which the first rotating member is moved to the retracted position, by first side operating portion from the displacement path of the second side operating portion is retracted, interference between the second side operating portion and the first side operating portion is avoided, Ru displacement movement of the second rotating member is allowed .
[0010]
Thus, the structure which provided the rotation member in the transmission mechanism can comprise the principal part of the mechanism which transmits a driving force by each rotation member and the rotation fulcrum which supports it, and a forced release protection mechanism. For example, if such a mechanism is configured by a slide mechanism or the like, a special guide member (for example, a guide rail or the like) peculiar to the slide mechanism or the like is required, avoiding an increase in the number of parts and a complicated apparatus configuration. It becomes impossible. According to the above configuration, there is no need to provide such a member, and the mechanism configuration can be simplified. As a result, it contributes to the downsizing of the gaming machine accessory, the reduction in the number of parts, and the reduction of the manufacturing cost.
[0011]
Further, the intermediate transfer member while being rotatably supported on the axis substantially parallel lines around the rotational axis of the closure member, the second side operating portion with the second pivot member abuts, the rotational displacement of its own that while converting the rotational displacement of the second pivot member reaches Den,
A predetermined amount of gap is formed between the intermediate transmission member and the second acting portion at the closed position, and the gap is reduced as the drive output portion shifts from the first displacement state to the second displacement state. The intermediate transmission member is displaced, and after the displacement reaches a predetermined amount and the gap is eliminated, the rotation of the second rotation member is started,
By starting the rotation of the first rotation member before the second rotation member, the first side action part is retracted from the displacement path of the second side action part , and then the second rotation member is rotated. You can make it.
[0012]
In this way, a predetermined amount of gap is formed between the intermediate transmission member and the second acting portion at the closed position, and after the displacement of the intermediate transmission member reaches the predetermined amount and the gap is eliminated, the second By starting the rotation of the rotation member, it is possible to delay the start of the rotation of the second rotation member only by forming a gap without adopting a complicated device configuration. As a result, the retracting operation of the first side action part can be performed before the operation of the second side action part, and a mechanism that can displace the second side action part only when the drive output part is displaced can be achieved. That is, according to the drive from the drive output unit, the closing member can be displaced to the open position. And according to the said structure, such a mechanism can be performed only by giving a feature to a component shape, without increasing the number of components, and becomes a very effective and easy implementation mechanism.
[0013]
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
Embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to examples shown in the drawings.

Along with the board surface of the game board 6 (see FIG. 1), which is attached and is opened and closed between a closed position for closing the winning opening and an open position for opening the winning opening from the closed position. It is the structure provided with the obstruction | occlusion member in which an open position and an obstruction | occlusion position are set. 2 shows the closing position of the closing member 10, and FIG. 8 shows the opening position of the closing member 10. In this embodiment, the closing member 10 has a rotation axis that intersects with the board surface of the game board (for example, intersects substantially at right angles to the board surface) and is attached to be rotatable about the axis. It is provided so as to be displaced in the board surface direction of the game board 6. That is, it is configured to be in the open position by lying down on the side. In addition, it is not limited to the lateral depression due to the rotation, and if it is a closing member displaced in the board surface direction (for example, sliding in the board surface direction), it is included in the concept of setting the position of closing and opening along the board surface. To do.
[0014]
FIG. 1 schematically shows an example of a ball game machine to which the present invention is applied. In the example of FIG. 1, the ball game machine 1 (hereinafter also simply referred to as a game machine 1) is used for a game machine. An accessory 2 is provided near the center of the game board, and is configured as a so-called second-class game machine. The ball game machine 1 is a game machine accessory 2 on the game board 6 and, for example, start winning ports 7 and 8 having a switching function for opening the closing member 10, other known objects, decorative parts, etc. (A windmill, a lamp, etc.) Anything that can be easily guessed by those skilled in the art can be provided. Then, the game ball can be launched toward the game board by the operation of the launch handle 3 by the player, and the game ball flowing down on the board surface creates various game modes.
[0015]
An outline of the ball game machine accessory 2 is as follows. That is, as shown in the rear view of FIG. 3 (a) and the side view of FIG. 3 (b), the solenoid 19 as the drive actuator having the drive shaft 27 as the drive output section is in the board surface direction of the game board (this embodiment). Then, it is provided so as to generate a driving force in the vertical direction of the game board. The solenoid 19 functions as a linear actuator that generates a linear driving force. The drive shaft 27 as a drive output unit is driven and displaced between a first displacement state for positioning the closing member 10 in the closing position and a second displacement state (see FIG. 9 and the like) for similarly positioning the closing member 10 in the open position. Will be. In addition, by using a linear actuator as the drive actuator as in the above configuration, two-dimensional space is used, leading to effective use of space. Further, by providing the linear actuator so as to generate a driving force in the direction of the board surface of the game board, the required space in the depth direction of the game board can be narrowed, resulting in an efficient actuator arrangement.
[0016]
Furthermore, a transmission mechanism (described later) is provided that transmits the displacement of the drive output unit, that is, the displacement of the drive shaft 27 to the rotational displacement of the closure member 10 and transmits the converted displacement. When a forcible operating force is applied to the closing member 10 at the closing position to displace it to the opening position, when the drive output unit is in the first displacement state, the closing member 10 is moved to the opening position. When the second displacement state is similarly prevented, a forcible opening protection mechanism that allows the closing member to move to the open position is provided. As a result, for example, an unauthorized opening operation of the closing member 10 is prevented, which greatly contributes to crime prevention of the gaming machine. The forced opening protection mechanism will be described in detail below.
[0017]
Figure 4 and shows a perspective view of a principal part of the Ru switching mechanism 5 name from the transfer mechanism having a forced opening protection mechanism and the like in FIG. 5, FIG. 4 is a front, FIG. 5 shows the rear.
[0018]
The transmission mechanism includes a first rotating member 23 serving as a first transmission body that performs a displacement operation in conjunction with the operation of the drive output unit, and a second transmission body serving as a second transmission body that performs a displacement operation in conjunction with the operation of the drive output unit . The two rotating members 14 are provided.
[0019]
The first rotation member 23 is provided so as to be rotatable around a predetermined rotation axis orthogonal to the board surface of the game board, and is located at a position spaced apart from the rotation axis by a certain distance in the rotation radius direction. The action part 24 (see FIG. 5) is formed. Further, second pivot member 14, the rotation transmitting shaft 12 which is concatenated directly or via another member and Rutotomoni closure member 10 is disposed in a direction crossing the board surface of the game board 6, the closure member 10 rotatably provided in a form corresponding to opening and closing, the second side operating portion 16 is formed at a position spaced Oite certain distance to the rotation transmitting shaft 12 or we pivoting radially. In the present embodiment, the closing member 10 and the second rotating member 14 are fixed via the rotation transmission shaft 12, and these members rotate integrally. The rotation transmission shaft 12 and the second rotation member 14 are integrally fixed at a fixed end portion 14a of the second rotation member 14, and the second rotation member 14 rotates to rotate. The rotation transmission shaft 12 formed substantially perpendicular to the direction rotates together with the closing member.
[0020]
The outline of the operation of this transmission mechanism will be described. The first rotating member 23 as the first transmission main body is a closing member when the drive output portion is in the first displacement state, that is, as shown in FIGS. When 10 is in the closed position, an obstructing position that inhibits the displacement of the second rotating member 23 based on the forcible operating force is taken. When the drive output portion is in the second displacement state, that is, when the closing member is in the open position as shown in the perspective views of FIGS. The mechanism moves to an allowable position that allows the displacement of the moving member 14.
[0021]
FIGS. 6A to 6C sequentially explain a mechanism for moving the closing member 10 (see FIG. 3 and the like) from the closing position to the opening position. Hereinafter, the operation of a specific transmission mechanism will be described with reference to FIG. As shown in FIG. 6 (a), the second rotating members 14, 14 are supported by the second side action portions 16, 16 while being supported so as to be rotatable around an axis substantially parallel to the rotation axis of the closing member 10. Are provided with intermediate transmission members 20 and 20 that transmit the rotational displacement of the second rotational members 14 and 14 while converting the rotational displacement thereof. The intermediate transmission members 20 and 20 are configured to convert a linear driving force from a slide member 34 connected to a driving shaft 27 of a solenoid 19 as a linear actuator into a rotational force. In the present embodiment, the solenoid 19 is provided with a drive shaft 27 that reciprocates in the up and down direction of the game board so that the driving force from the solenoid 19 is generated in the up and down direction of the game board (in the up and down direction in the example of FIG. 6). Is placed. In this embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 4 and 5 and the like, the first turning member 23 and the second turning member 14 have the turning direction as the board direction of the game board, and further the intermediate transmission member 20. The moving direction of the slide member 34 is also the board surface direction of the game board. In this way, by configuring the movement direction of each member to be the board surface direction of the game board, there is no movement of the members in the depth direction of the game board, and the space can be effectively used.
[0022]
As is well known, the solenoid 19 reciprocates the drive shaft 27 as a drive output unit by energizing / exciting a coil (not shown). The drive shaft 27 serving as the drive output unit includes the drive output unit and the drive output unit 27. A slide member 34 that slides integrally is provided. Further, outside the drive shaft 27, there is provided a coil spring 40 that is urged in the direction of pulling out the drive shaft 27 as an elastic member from the solenoid 19 and is provided coaxially with the drive shaft 27, for example.
[0023]
A stopper 25 is formed on one end side of the coil spring 40 so as to be fixed or integrally formed with the drive shaft 27 and transmit the elastic force from the coil spring 40 to the drive shaft 27, and the other end side of the solenoid spring 19 enters and exits the drive shaft 27. Abutting on the outer peripheral portion of a hole (not shown), the drive shaft 27 is urged to the position where the slide member 34 moves at the closed position shown in FIG. Is maintained. For example, when a specific game mode occurs and it is necessary to open the closing member 10 (FIG. 3), the solenoid 19 is excited in response to a command from the control unit in the gaming machine, and the drive shaft 27 is turned into a coil spring. It moves in the internal direction of the solenoid 19 against the elastic force of 40 and takes the second displacement state (the state shown in FIG. 6C, that is, the closed state of the closing member 10 (FIG. 3)). Further, when it becomes necessary to close the closing member 10 (FIG. 3) in the open position, the elastic restoring force of the coil spring 40 is generated by releasing the excitation of the solenoid 19, and the first displacement state is restored. In addition, since the command etc. to the solenoid from a game machine are well-known, the detail is abbreviate | omitted.
[0024]
The intermediate transmission members 20 and 20 are configured to be rotatable about a rotation shaft 21 and protrude to the slide member side at a position separated from the rotation shaft 21 in the rotation radius direction by a predetermined distance. Protrusions 32 and 32 are formed, and the first protrusions 32 and 32 are inserted into first elongated holes 30 and 30 formed in the slide member 34. In response to the reciprocating motion of the drive shafts 27, 27, that is, the reciprocating motion of the slide member 34, the first projecting portions 32, 32 are converted so as to reciprocate relative to the first long holes 30, 30. The turning force of the intermediate transmission members 20, 20 is generated.
[0025]
Further, as shown in FIG. 6A, the intermediate transmission member 20 is provided with a second projecting portion 33 formed as a first rotating action portion that causes the first rotating member 23 to rotate. This 2nd protrusion part 33 takes the structure inserted in the 2nd long hole 36 formed in the 1st rotation member 23 as a substantially long hole shape while projecting to the 1st rotation member 23 side. The first rotation member 23 is rotatable about a rotation fulcrum 38. Further, in this embodiment, the first rotation member 23 is in the second projecting portion 33 and the second elongated hole 36 in the closed state. The moment due to the weight of the first rotating member 23 is constantly generated so as to abut at. When the drive output portion shifts from the first displacement state to the second displacement state, the intermediate transmission member 20 acts against the moment due to the weight of the first rotation member 23 (that is, the second protrusion 33). The first rotation member 23 is pushed up), and the rotation of the first rotation member 23 is started simultaneously with the start of the rotation of the intermediate transmission member 20.
[0026]
Further, in the vicinity of the end portion of the intermediate transmission member 20 in the rotation radius direction, a rotation action hole 18 formed as a second rotation action portion that causes the rotation of the second rotation member 14 is formed. The second action portion 16 is inserted into the operation hole 18. And it is set as the structure where a predetermined amount of clearance gap is formed between an intermediate transmission member and a 2nd side action part in the obstruction | occlusion position as shown to Fig.6 (a). That is, the hole area of the rotation action hole 18 is formed to be larger than the cross-sectional area of the second side action part 16.
[0027]
Then, as the drive output unit shifts from the first displacement state to the second displacement state, that is, as the drive output unit shifts from FIG. 6A to FIG. 6B and FIG. 6C, the gap is reduced. Thus, the intermediate transmission member 20 is displaced. Then, as shown in FIG. 6B, after the displacement reaches a predetermined amount and the gap is eliminated, the rotation of the second rotating member 14 is started and as shown in FIG. 6C. Transition to the open state. (Note that the gaming machine accessory 2 corresponding to the state of FIG. 6C is shown in FIGS. 8 and 9, and the perspective view of the opening and closing mechanism is shown in FIGS. 10 and 11.) For example, the rotation of the second rotation member 14 is started after the start of the rotation of the intermediate transmission member 20 from the state in the closed position. If such a structure is taken, the rotation start of the 2nd rotation member 14 can be delayed only by formation of a clearance gap. In other words, it is possible to obtain an effect only by giving a feature to the shape without using special parts, and the processing necessary for forming the shape can be performed very easily.
[0028]
The intermediate transmission member 20 starts the rotation of the first rotation member 23 before the second rotation member 14 when the drive output unit shifts from the first displacement state to the second displacement state. The first side action part 24 is retracted from the displacement path of the second side action part 16. Thus, it is possible to retract the first side operating portion from the displacement path of the second side operating portion in only to have a time difference in each rotational member even without taking complicated equipment configuration, as in easy mechanism . In particular, as described above, the time difference of the rotation start can be generated only by forming the gap, so that the configuration of the apparatus can be simplified, contributing to weight reduction and compactness of the apparatus.
[0029]
Next, the forced opening protection mechanism will be described.
As the closing member 10 (FIG. 3) in the closing position is forcibly displaced toward the open position as shown in FIGS. On the other hand, the first rotating member 23 as the first transmission main body moves in a predetermined direction in conjunction with the displacement of the drive output portion between the first displacement state and the second displacement state. Accordingly, it moves between the interference position (FIG. 6A) and the retracted position (FIG. 6C).
[0030]
And in the state which the 1st rotation member 23 moved to the interference position, on the displacement path | route of the 2nd side action part 16 formed in the 2nd rotation member 14, the 1st rotation member 23 formed in the 1st rotation member 23 When the one-side action portion 24 is positioned, the second-side action portion 16 and the first-side action portion 24 interfere with each other to cause a displacement operation of the second transmission main body (in this embodiment, the rotation of the second turning member 14). Operation) is blocked. FIG. 7 shows a state in which a forcible operating force is generated in the closing member 10 (FIG. 3) in the closing position and the second side action part 16 and the first side action part 24 interfere with each other. On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 6C, in the state where the first rotating member 23 has moved to the retracted position, the first side acting portion 24 is retracted from the displacement path of the second side acting portion 16, thereby Interference between the side action portion 16 and the first side action portion 24 is avoided, and the displacement operation of the second transmission main body (in this embodiment, the rotation operation of the second rotation member 14) is allowed.
[0031]
As shown in FIG. 7, when the closing member 10 at the closing position is forcibly moved toward the open position, the second side action portion 16 is in the turning radius direction of the first turning member 23 at the inhibition position. It is comprised so that the contact force with the 1st side action part 24 may arise in this. In other words, the rotation fulcrum portion 38 of the first rotation member 23 is positioned on the extension of the contact direction of the second side operation portion 16, and depending on the operation of the second side operation portion 16, the first rotation member. No torque is generated at 23. Furthermore, in the present embodiment, the first side action portion 24 is a portion that is substantially perpendicular to the contact direction of the second side action portion 16 at a position where the first side action portion 16 abuts (for example, a vertical surface) A vertical abutting portion is formed. In addition, the shape of the 1st side action part 24 is not restricted to perpendicular | vertical, What is necessary is just a shape which does not generate | occur | produce the component force to the 1st rotation member 23 by the contact | abutting from the 2nd side action part 16 in the rotation direction. . For example, it is possible to form an arcuate recess that is recessed in the rotational radius direction of the first rotational member 23. Thereby, the contact force of the second side action part 16 due to the rotation of the second rotation member 14 acts only in the rotation radius direction of the first rotation member 23. Thereby, when a forcible operating force is applied to the closing member 10 (see FIG. 3), the movement of the second side action part 16 is inhibited by the first side action part 24, and the movement direction of the second side action part 16 Is in the direction of the turning radius of the first turning member 23, the contact force by the second side action portion 16 does not contribute to the generation of the rotational force of the first turning member 23, and the forcing operation is performed on the closing member 10. Even if force is applied, the locking effect is maintained.
