【０００１】
【発明の属する技術分野】
この発明はパチンコ機の入賞開口部に開閉扉部材を備え、Ｖ入賞口と一般入賞口を備えたパチンコ機の入賞装置に関する。
【０００２】
【従来の技術】
従来のパチンコ機の遊技盤に備えた入賞装置で、一般に「アタッカー形式」と呼ばれる入賞装置がある。
従来のアタッカー形式の入賞装置として、特開２０００−３００７４９公報、特開平１１−２０６９８０号公報等がある。前者の入賞装置では、一般入賞口とＶ入賞口が大入賞口の左右両隅に位置し、球通路はなく、球は開閉扉から直接中央の誘導片に導かれ、誘導片で一般入賞口とＶ入賞口に振り分けるようにしてある。
また、後者の入賞装置では、一般入賞口とＶ入賞口との間に球通路片が設けられ、誘導片は遊技球が衝突する当接面を持ち、球通路奥側にあり、その当接面の角度を変化させることにより、一般入賞口とＶ入賞口に振り分けるようにしてある。
そして、一定の遊技条件が満たされることにより開閉部材を開いて入賞開口部を開き、入賞球が一定時間内にＶ入賞口に入賞することを条件として開閉部材の開放状態を引き続き保持すること、電磁ソレノイドでＶ入賞口と一般入賞口との中間の誘導片を切替えてＶ入賞口又は一般入賞口へ振り分けるものがで開示されている。
また、その入賞装置において、開閉部材を開閉する手段として、開閉部材の軸を開口部の軸受け凹部に回動可能に軸支し、かつ開閉部材の係合ピンに電磁ソレノイドのプランジャーで作用される連動部材が係合され、ソレノイドの作動により開閉部材を開放し、リターンバネにより開閉部材を閉じることが開示されている。
【０００３】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
上記入賞装置では、いずれも遊技球を振り分ける誘導片は左右の一般入賞口とＶ入賞口のいずれかに切替えていずれかの面で常に球を誘導するものであるから、誘導片は常時使用され、その振分け誘導片には常に球が当たり負荷がかかるので、長期の使用で誘導片にガタを生じることがある。従来の中央の誘導片で球を振り分ける構造ものは、一般入賞口とＶ入賞口は大入賞口の左右に配置せざるをえず、Ｖ入賞口の位置を大入賞口の中央に設けることはできなかった。
また、開閉部材の開閉を駆動手段により行うが、開閉扉板が長期間繰り返し開閉されることによりがたを生じやすく、開閉扉板を正確な開位置に止めることが難しくなるなどの問題がある。
【０００４】
この発明はこのような問題点を解消するもので、特定の条件のもと球誘導片で球通路を遮り時は開口部より球通路に転入する球をＶ入賞口へのみ誘導し、球誘導片でＶ入賞口を遮り時は一般入賞口へ導くようにしたパチンコ機の入賞装置を提供することを目的とする。
【０００５】
【課題を解決するための手段】

オンとオフとの切り換えにより、該球誘導片をＶ入賞口を遮る位置又は前記球通路を遮る位置に切り換えるように駆動手段を設け、
前記球誘導室には、前記球通路の後壁に前記球誘導片のストッパー部を受け止める受止め面が形成され、
前記球誘導片は、前記駆動手段がオフのときに、前記Ｖ入賞口を遮る位置に切り換えられて前記球通路を上流から流下する球をそのまま下流へ流下させて下流側の一般入賞口に導く一方、前記駆動手段がオンのときには、前記球通路を遮る位置に切り換えられ、前記ストッパー部が前記受止め面に受け止められて前記球通路を遮る位置を確定するとともに前記球誘導面で上流から流下する球を前記Ｖ入賞口に誘導しうるように設けたことを特徴とするものである。
【０００６】
請求項２の発明は、請求項１記載のパチンコ機の入賞装置の前記球誘導片を、その上面とＶ入賞口の上部との間に略球１個分の空間をあけてＶ入賞口の下部を遮りうるように軸支し、該球誘導片をＶ入賞口を遮る位置に切り換え時でも、球が該入賞口に入りうるようにしたものである。
【０００７】

【０００８】
このパチンコ機の入賞装置は、入賞開口部を有する装置本体と、前記入賞開口部を開閉する開閉扉部材を備えたパチンコ機の入賞装置であって、該入賞開口部の後方に左右いずれかへ傾斜した球通路と、該球通路の後壁であって、球通路の上流側に少なくとも球が転入しうる空間をあけた位置にＶ入賞口と、球通路の下流側に一般入賞口とを設けた球誘導室と、該Ｖ入賞口と一般入賞口との間に該Ｖ入賞口の下部を遮り又は球通路を遮るように垂直軸で回動可能に備えた弓型球誘導片と、該球誘導片をＶ入賞口を遮る位置又は前記球通路を遮る位置に切り換えるための第１の駆動手段と、両側壁に支軸を備えかつ後端にストッパー部を備え、駆動側には作用軸を備えた開閉扉部材と、前記開閉扉部材の支軸を回動可能に軸支する軸受け部と、扉部材が開いた位置で前記扉部材のストッパー部を受け止めうるストッパー部および箱体に垂直方向に脱着する取付け部を備えた一対の扉支持部材と、該扉支持部材のうち駆動側には扉部材の作用軸をガイドするためのガイド孔を設け、前記開閉扉部材の作動軸に連動部材を介して第２の駆動手段を設け、一対の扉支持部材間に開閉扉部材を回動可能に軸支するとともに駆動手段による連動部材の作動により開閉扉部材の作用軸を扉支持部材のガイド孔に沿って作動可能に設けることができる。
【０００９】
この第１の発明の構成によれば、球誘導室に左右いずれかへ傾斜して球通路を設けたので、遊技球は球通路を一方向へ流下する。その球通路の上流側に少なくとも球が転入しうる空間をあけてＶ入賞口を設け、下流に一般入賞口を設け、そして、球通路の途中において、駆動手段で球誘導片をＶ入賞口を遮る位置又は前記球通路を遮る位置に切り換える。球誘導片をＶ入賞口を遮る位置に切り換え時には球通路を上流から流下する球をそのまま下流へ流下して下流側の一般入賞口へ導き、球誘導片を球通路を遮る位置に切り換えた時にＶ入賞口に球を誘導できる。特定の条件のときだけ、前記のように球誘導片で球をＶ入賞口へ入れる。この構成によればＶ入賞口を入賞開口部の中央位置或いはその近辺に設けることができ、従来にない斬新な構造とした入賞装置を提供できる。また、球誘導片をＶ入賞口を遮る位置に切り換え時、球誘導片に負荷がかからないので、球誘導片の耐久性を伸ばすことができる。
【００１０】
この第２の発明の構成によれば、前記球誘導片でＶ入賞口の下部を遮り収納した時でも、球誘導片の上面とＶ入賞口の上部との間に略球１個分の空間を開けたので、球が球誘導片の上を通ってＶ入賞口に入賞できる。
【００１１】
この第１の発明の構成によれば、球誘導片を回動して球通路を遮る位置に出した時、反対面のストッパー部が装置本体の受止め面に当接して球通路を遮る位置を確定でき、かつ片面の球誘導面で球をＶ入賞口に確実かつ円滑に誘導できる。
【００１２】
この第１の発明の構成によれば、球誘導片はＶ入賞口を遮り収納時には球通路を流下する球の邪魔にならない位置に収めるので、球誘導片の外面が後壁と同じ衝突面となり、球通路の上流より球を球誘導片の外面に沿って円滑に流下させることができる。球誘導片をＶ入賞口を遮り収納時、球誘導片に負荷がかからないので、球誘導片の耐久性を伸ばすことができる。
【００１３】
この第３の発明の構成によれば、前記開閉扉部材の内面の球誘導リブで入賞球を確実に内部の球通路に誘導でき、かつ内面両端の補強リブ兼球こぼれ防止壁で、開閉扉部材の内面の入賞開口に飛び込む球が側方へ飛び出るのを防ぐことができ、開閉扉部材の補強の役目をする。
【００１４】
上記構成によれば、球誘導室に左右いずれかへ傾斜して球通路を設けたので、遊技球は球通路を一方向へ流下する。その球通路の上流側に少なくとも球が転入しうる空間をあけてＶ入賞口を設け、下流に一般入賞口を設け、そして、球通路の途中において、駆動手段で球誘導片をＶ入賞口を遮る位置又は前記球通路を遮る位置に切り換える。球誘導片をＶ入賞口を遮る位置に切り換え時には球通路を上流から流下する球をそのまま下流へ流下して下流側の一般入賞口へ導き、球誘導片を球通路を遮る位置に切り換えた時にＶ入賞口に球を誘導できる。特定の条件のときだけ、前記のように球誘導片で球をＶ入賞口へ入れる。球誘導片はＶ入賞口の下部を遮り、その上面を通じてＶ入賞口に球が入りうる。
また、箱体に取り付けた一対の扉支持部材間に開閉扉部材を回動可能に軸支するとともに駆動手段による連動部材の作動により開閉扉部材の作用軸を扉支持部材のガイド孔を介して作動可能に設けて開閉扉部材の開閉動作時に、開閉扉部材のストッパー部を開閉位置で扉支持部材のストッパー部に確実に受け止めできる。
【００１５】

【００１６】
図１乃至図８において、パチンコ機の入賞装置の装置本体１は、パチンコ機の遊技板に装着できる取付け板２と、その取付け板の裏面に取り付け、内部に球誘導室を設けた箱体３０と、その裏面に取り付ける裏カバー８０との組み合わせで構成されている。前記取付け板２には長方形の入賞開口部（大入賞口）３が設けられ、その入賞開口部３を開閉する開閉扉部材１０が備えられている。
【００１７】
この発明は、入賞開口部３を有する装置本体１と、前記入賞開口部３を開閉する開閉扉部材１０を備えたパチンコ機の入賞装置において、球誘導室の球通路の構成、Ｖ入賞口の位置、球を誘導する球誘導片の構成、開閉扉部材の取付け構造、その開閉構造等を独自の構造としたものである。
【００１８】
取付け板２には長方形の入賞開口部（大入賞口）３が設けられ、その両側下部に開閉扉部材１０を支承した扉支持部材２０の軸受け部２１に被せる覆い部６が形成されている。７は取付け孔である。
１０は入賞開口部３に略合致する長方形の板状の開閉扉部材で、その両側の側壁１１の前面下部に支軸１２が設けられ、かつ扉部材の側壁の後端にはストッパー部１３が形成され、かつ、駆動側の側壁の下部には作用軸１４が設けられる。
前記開閉扉部材１０にはその内面に球通路３７の上流側に球を誘導する誘導リブ１５と、内面両端に側壁１１として補強リブ兼球こぼれ防止壁とが設けられている。その補強リブ兼球こぼれ防止壁１１には、後端上面に扉部材の開時のストッパー部１３が設けられている。
扉部材の内面の誘導リブ１５は、遊技球を球通路３７の上流部に向けて斜めに伸びて、球が乗り越えうる高さに形成され、上方から開いた扉部材の内面に落下した遊技球がリブに沿って誘導され、或いはリブを飛び越えて球通路へ転入する。扉部材の背面は傾斜面１６を設けてある。
【００１９】
２０は一対の板状の扉支持部材で、前記開閉扉部材の支軸を回動可能に軸支する軸受け部２１と、扉部材が開いた位置で前記扉部材のストッパー部１３を受け止めうるストッパー部２２および装置本体に垂直に取り付ける取付け部２３が備えられている。扉支持部材２０には、扉開時の際、扉部材に設けたストッパー部１３が当接するようなストッパー部２２が設けられている。
図１７に示すように、扉支持部材の下部に前記支持軸１２を嵌合支持する凹部状の軸受け部２１が設けられ、かつ上部内側には対向側に突出して凸状のストッパー部２２が形成され、かつ後端に取付け部２３が形成されている。扉支持部材の取付け部２３としては、係止部が設けられている。係止部は先端を鉤型として、後述の箱体３０の係止孔５１に弾性を利用して挿入して脱着可能に係合できるようにしてある。扉支持部材２０は、箱体に対して垂直方向に係止によって固定するので、横方向にコンパクト化を図ることができる。又部品点数を減らすことができるので、組み付けやすくなる。
また、駆動側の扉支持部材２０には、前記作用軸１４を挿通してガイドするガイド孔２４が縦方向に形成されている。ガイド孔２４は扉支持部材２０に縦方向に円弧状に設けられ、作用軸１４のストロークの上限位置（扉部材の開位置）と下限位置（扉部材の閉位置）を規制できる。前記取付け部は係止部を係止孔に脱着する構成としたが、これに限られるものではなく、ねじ等で取着することもできる。
【００２０】
図３乃至図１０において、３０は箱体で、両側より少し内側に区画壁３１、３２を設けて区画し、中央に広い球誘導室３３、両側に扉支持部材２０を前面より挿入する区画室３４、３５と、後壁（衝突壁）３６とにより構成され、その中央の球誘導室３３には、下部に左右いずれかへ一方へ傾斜した球通路３７と、球通路３７の後壁３６の奥側に、球通路の上流側に少なくとも球が転入しうる空間Ａをあけた位置にＶ入賞口３８と、球通路の下流側に一般入賞口３９とが間隔をあけて設けられ、そのＶ入賞口３８の近くに後述の球誘導片６１をＶ入賞口３８を遮る位置で受け止めるための受止め面４０が設けられる。
一般入賞口およびＶ入賞口の前側に球通路３７が設けてある。その球通路３７は、正面（遊技者）から見て、左右どちらか一方にのみ傾斜している。Ｖ入賞口３８は球通路３７の中央部に設けられ、一般入賞口３９はＶ入賞口より下流側に設けてある。一般入賞口３９はＶ入賞口３８より低い位置に設けられている。この構成とすることによりＶ入賞口３８を球誘導室３３の中央位置として、大入賞口の開閉扉部材１０を開とすると、Ｖ入賞口３８が入賞開口部の中央に現れ、一般入賞口３９が下流端に現れ、斬新なものとできる。Ｖ入賞口の位置は中央或いはその近辺とするのが好ましい。
該Ｖ入賞口３８の下部には球誘導片６１を収納、開閉動作するために幅広の開口部３８ａとスペース４１が設けられ、このスペース４１に球誘導片６１を収納時（ソレノイドの非動作時）には、Ｖ入賞口を遮り、球通路を流下する球の邪魔にはならず、球は球誘導片６１の外面に沿って球通路を流下するように設ける。
球誘導片６１は非動作時には連繋部が受止め面４０ａ或いは後述のソレノイドのバネによる復帰位置で止められる。
箱体３０の下部で、球誘導室３３の下にＶ入賞用と一般入賞用検知センサーを並設する区画室４２が形成される。区画室４２はＶ入賞用と一般入賞用検知センサー５８、５９を入れるために区画されている。
【００２１】
図４乃至図８に示すように実施例では、球通路３７は左側を高く、右側を低くして右下がりの傾斜としてあり、Ｖ入賞口３８は球通路３７の上流側に球が転入しうる空間Ａをあけて後壁３６の中央部に形成してある。遊技球が扉部材のリブで誘導されて球通路３７の上流の空間に転入するとき、球誘導片に当たらないようにするのが好ましい。そして一般入賞口３９はＶ入賞口３８との間に後述の球誘導片６１を備えた垂直軸６０を備えるための間隔をあけて球通路の後壁３６の下流端に形成されている。
Ｖ入賞口３８は、球誘導片６１で下部を遮る時、球が該入賞口に入りうるように縦長とする。すなわちＶ入賞口３８は少なくとも球誘導片の厚みと球１個分の長さを合わせた長さ以上の長さが必要である。
また、球通路３７の下流端の区画壁３２には球を奥の一般入賞口３９へ誘導するためのリブ４３が設けられ、かつ球通路３７から一般入賞口３９まで、内方へ傾斜させた傾斜面（テーパー面）４４が形成され、球通路を流下してた球がリブ４３と傾斜面４４で一般入賞口３９に誘導される。リブ４３は奥へ球を誘導するように傾斜面としてある。なお、４５は上流端の区画壁に設けたリブである。
図１９に示すように、一般入賞口３９の前側（球一個分）の球通路には、遊技球が奥側に誘導されるように奥側に向かって、テーパーを設けてある。補助として、箱体の側面にも遊技球を奥側に誘導するようなリブ４３が設けられている。
箱体３０の後壁３６の背面側で、Ｖ入賞口３８と一般入賞口３９の背面は球を排出する空間が設けられ、下面に球排出孔４６、４７が設けられ、箱体３０の下部の区画室４２にＶ入賞用検知センサー、一般入賞用検知センサーの検知孔５８ａ、５９ａを球排出孔４６、４７に合致させて備え、その検知孔をＶ入賞口３８と一般入賞口３９の背面側に臨ませて球を検知できるようにしてある。４８は他の球流下路で、箱体の背面側に凹部が設けられ、後述の裏カバーを合わせて構成される。
【００２２】
前記扉支持部材２０を箱体３０に取り付ける構造として、前記区画室３４、３５の壁４９、５０には扉支持部材を係合する係止孔５１と、駆動側の壁５０には第２の駆動手段７５の連動部材７８を挿通する挿通孔５２が設けられる。
また、球誘導片を備えた垂直軸（枢軸）６０を支持する構造として、箱体３０の後面には、中央部に球誘導片の垂直軸を挿入支持する軸受け部５３と、かつ連動部材７８を支持する構造として、前記駆動側の区画室３５の側壁と区画壁の後端にはソレノイドに関連する連動部材７８の支軸部７９を挿入支持する軸受け部５４が設けられている。箱体３０の中央の垂直軸６０の軸受け部５３として、上部の支持孔と下部の凹面とを設けて垂直軸６０の上下を挿入し、また、箱体の駆動側の区画室３５の側壁と区画壁の後端の軸受け部５４として、凹面を設けて、連動部材の支軸部７９を挿入し、裏カバー８０を当てて垂直軸６０、支軸部７９を回動可能に軸支する。垂直軸６０、支軸部７９は凹面と裏カバーで挟むだけで、簡単に軸支することができる。また、箱体３０の背面側の片側の区画室５５にソレノイド７０、７５を臨ませる。５６は取付け板２の背面にねじで取り付ける取付け部である。５７は検知センサーに係止する係止爪である。
【００２３】
図３、図９乃至図１２および図１８において、６０は球誘導片６１を備えた垂直軸で、球誘導片の上部に第１駆動手段７０に関連させる連繋部６２が備えられている。
球誘導片６１は少なくとも球を受止めできる厚みで、流下する球の中心を受けうるものである。球誘導片６１は球の径よりは薄い厚みの弓型状の爪片で、片面が誘導面とされ、誘導面とは反対側に非動作時に後壁（衝突壁）の一部となるようなリブが設立してある。また、球誘導片のリブの一部が、ストッパーの役目も兼ねている。非動作時の際にも、遊技球がＶ入賞口に入賞する可能性を残すために、球誘導片の上部には、パチンコ球一個分通過できるスペースが設けられている。
該球誘導片６１の垂直軸６０はＶ入賞口と一般入賞口の間に鉛直方向として回動可能に軸支される。
この垂直軸６０は箱体３０にＶ入賞口と一般入賞口との間で、Ｖ入賞口の直ぐ横に上下を回動自由に支持し、Ｖ入賞口３８の入口を遮る収納位置から球通路を遮る位置まで反時計方向に、又はその球を遮る位置から元のＶ入賞口を遮る収納位置まで時計方向にほぼ９０度回動可能に備えられている。その球誘導片はＶ入賞口３８の下部の開口部３８ａを通じて出入する。球誘導片６１はＶ入賞口３８の入口の開口部３８ａを通じてスペース４１に入って壁に当たって止まり、Ｖ入賞口の入口を遮る。球誘導片６１は衝突壁３６の奥側に収納される。球誘導片６１はその位置から開いて球通路３７の上面に沿って進出してストッパー部が受止め面４０に当接して止まり、球通路を流下する球を遮ってＶ入賞口へ誘導する。
球誘導片６１は、非動作時には、Ｖ入賞口の入口の下部を遮る位置に存在して球通路を流下する球が入るのを遮り、球は球誘導片の外面を通過して流下する。球誘導片でＶ入賞口の下部を遮り収納した時でも、球誘導片の上面とＶ入賞口の上部との間に略球１個分の空間を開け、球が球誘導片の上を通ってＶ入賞口に入賞できるように設ける。球誘導片６１が回動して球通路に出ると、球誘導片６１の誘導面によってＶ入賞口に遊技球を誘導する。この発明の球誘導片は球通路を遮りＶ入賞口へ球を誘導する役目をするが、閉じているとき球が外部を通過するだけで、球誘導片で一般入賞口へ誘導するものではない。球誘導片の出入で球を振り分けることになる。
【００２４】
実施例では、弓型の球誘導片６１が垂直軸の下部寄りに一体形成され、かつ該球誘導片６１の上部にソレノイド７０のプランジャーの鍔を挟むための連繋部６２が略９０度変位して一体に形成されている。弓型の球誘導片６１はＶ入賞口側に球を誘導できるように彎曲し、その球誘導片６１の片面を球誘導面６１ａとし、かつ反対面の外面にはリブ６１ｂと外面の基部に球通路を遮る位置を確定するためのストッパー部６３が設けられている。球誘導片６１のストッパー部６３が前記後壁３６の受止め面４０で受け止められて球通路３７を遮る位置を確定することができる。球誘導片は、軸に一体成型されており、箱体３０と裏カバー８０で挟み込まれる形で、支持されている。
而して、球誘導片６１を回動して球通路を遮る位置に出した時、反対面のストッパー部６３が装置本体の受止め面４０に当接して球通路を遮る位置を確定でき、かつ片面の球誘導面６１ａで球をＶ入賞口に確実かつ円滑に誘導できる。
球誘導片６１をＶ入賞口を遮る位置に収納した時、球通路３７に沿って流下する球は球誘導片の外側を通って流下するが、球誘導片の上面とＶ入賞口の上部との間に略球１個分の空間を開けてあるので、転動する球が球誘導片６１の上を越えてＶ入賞口に入る可能性がある。
連繋部６２として、ソレノイド７０のプランジャーの鍔を挟むＣ型の連繋アームが垂直軸に一体に設けられ、そのＣ型の連繋アームの開口部よりプランジャーの鍔７１ａに横から嵌めて係合され、ソレノイドがオン動作時プランジャーの鍔で連繋アーム６２の片側を引いて球誘導片を反時計方向（開方向）に回動し、逆にソレノイドがオフ時リターンバネによりその鍔で連繋アーム６２の反対側を押して球誘導片を時計方向（閉方向）に回動するように設ける。また、球誘導片と連繋部は垂直軸と一体に成型したので、部品点数を減らすことができ、箱体にそれを支持するだけで組み付けやすい。
【００２５】
図１１および図１２において、球誘導片６１を備えた垂直軸６０をＶ入賞口を遮る位置と前記球通路を遮る位置に切り換えうる第１の駆動手段７０について説明する。
実施例では第１の駆動手段として電磁ソレノイド７０を用いる。７１はプランジャー、７１ａはその鍔、７２はリターンバネである。前記垂直軸６０に設けた連繋部６２がソレノイド７０のプランジャー７１の鍔７１ａと連携可能に設けられる。連繋部６２は板状で例えば、Ｃ型或いは二股形状等の連繋アームで、垂直軸６０に一体に設けられ、アームの先端がプランジャー７１の鍔７１ａを挟むように設けられる。而して、ソレノイド７０のプランジャー７１の進退運動で連繋アーム６２を押し又は引いて垂直軸６０を反時計方向又は時計方向へ回動して球誘導片６１を球通路を遮る位置又はＶ入賞口を遮る位置に切替える。球誘導片６１は球通路３７の上面近くにセットされ、球誘導片の上面とＶ入賞口の上部との間に略球１個分の空間をあけてＶ入賞口の下部を遮りうるように軸支される。球誘導片６１を収納時（非動作時）には、Ｖ入賞口の入口の前のスペース４１に収められ、Ｖ入賞口を遮るが、球通路を流下する球の邪魔にはならず、球は球誘導片の外面に沿って球通路を流下する。

この発明のパチンコ機の入賞装置の作動について説明する。
パチンコ遊技中に打球が入賞受入口に入り、可変装置が作動して絵柄、数字を連続的に表示し、可変装置の表示部が特定の絵柄、数字に揃い予め設定されたゲームの条件が成立すると、「大当たり」となり、開閉制御用電磁ソレノイド７５の作動によって、開閉扉部材１０が前傾してストッパー部２２で受け止められ、入賞口が開放される。遊技盤を転動する遊技球がこの開放された開閉扉部材１０に受け止められ、誘導リブ１５により箱体３０の球通路３７の上流側に誘導される。そして、その開閉扉部材を開く前、或いはほぼ同時に、球誘導片を制御する電磁ソレノイド７０がオンとなり、球誘導片６１が前方へほぼ直角位置まで回動されて、球通路３７を遮る。従って、開閉扉部材１０のリブで球通路３７の上流に誘導された球が流下して、この球誘導片６１の誘導面で受け止められて誘導面に沿ってＶ入賞口３８へ導かれる。入賞球がＶ入賞口に入賞したことを検知センサー５８で検知すると、電磁ソレノイド７０がオフとなり、リターンバネにより元のＶ入賞口３８の入口を遮る位置に収納される。
球誘導片が収納されると、以後球通路３７の上流からの球は球誘導片の前を通過して下流に流下し、終端のリブに沿って奥側へ誘導され、テーパー面で一般入賞口３９に導かれる。一般入賞口３９に入った球は検知センサー５９で検知される。Ｖ入賞口３８が球誘導片６１で遮られているときでも、開閉扉部材１０の開のときに遊技球が跳ねて球誘導片を越えてＶ入賞口に入賞することもある。
例えば、Ｖ入賞口３８と一般入賞口３９に入った入賞球の数が１０個となると、ソレノイド７５が駆動されて開閉扉部材１０が閉じられる。
この一連の作動が、最高で１６回まで、繰り返し行われる。少なくとも１個の球がＶ入賞口に入賞した時、ラウンドが継続される。
【００３１】
