Description

【0001】
【発明の属する技術分野】
この発明は、パチンコ遊技機における回転装置に関し、更に詳しくは、パチンコゲームを展開し得る遊技盤の遊技領域内に配設されて、パチンコ球(遊技球)の接触により回転される回転装置に関するものである。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
周知のように、パチンコ機やアレンジボール機に代表される遊技機には、パチンコゲーム上での装飾性を得る手段として、一般的にランプ部品または照明ランプ具とも呼ばれている発光装置が多く利用さている。この発光装置として、例えば透明または光透過性の合成樹脂等で形成され、一般に風車(フウシャ)とも呼ばれている類いの回転部品の裏面に、フィラメント式ランプ(豆球)や発光ダイオード(LED)等の発光体を配置して構成されるものがある。この発光体は、各種の発光制御装置に接続することで点灯や点滅等の所定の条件で発光し得るようになっており、遊技の状態に合わせて発光するよう構成されている。また、前記回転部品の裏面はダイヤモンドカットや球面カット等の処理が施されて、発光体から照射された光を拡散するようになっており、発光による装飾性をより高める工夫がなされている。
【0003】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
しかし従来の遊技機における発光装置では、主にパチンコ球(遊技球ともいう)が特別ゲームの開始条件を発生,成立するための始動入賞口や特定入賞口等に通入した際に、発光体が点灯や点滅するようになっている。そのため、パチンコ球が前記各入賞口に通入した時等を除いて遊技盤上での変化は乏しく遊技者の興味が薄れる欠点が指摘される。すなわち、前記発光装置における発光は、単調な点灯や点滅の繰り返しである場合が多く、発光による遊技盤の装飾効果は優れてはいなかった。また、パチンコ球と発光装置との動作は関連性が薄く、パチンコ球が接触することで発光体が点滅を行ない、遊技盤に装飾性を付与するような装置は提案されていなかった。
【0004】
【発明の目的】
本発明は、前述した課題を好適に解決するべく新規に提案されたものであって、回転体が遊技球との接触により回転するのに伴って発光体を点滅させることで、遊技盤面に変化を付与し得ると共に、遊技盤面の装飾性を向上させ得るパチンコ遊技機における回転装置を提供することを目的とする。
【0006】
【課題を解決するための手段】
前記課題を解決し、所期の目的を達成するため、本願発明に係るパチンコ遊技機における回転装置は、
所要のパチンコゲームを展開し得る遊技盤の遊技領域に配設されて、遊技球の接触により回転される回転装置であって、
外周に複数の球接触部が設けられ、該球接触部に前記遊技球が接触することで回転する回転体と、
前記回転体に回転軸を介して連結されて、該回転体と連動して回転し、この回転体と対向する表面に発光体が配設されると共に、裏面の所要位置に該発光体に接続する接触部材が設けられた回転基板と、
前記回転基板の裏面と対向するよう固定配置され、前記接触部材と対向する面の所要位置に、該回転基板の回転時に接触部材に対して接離可能で、電源に接続された被接触部材が設けられた固定基板とからなり、
前記回転体と連動して前記回転基板が回転する際に、前記接触部材と前記被接触部材とが接触したときに前記発光体に通電され、該接触部材と該被接触部材とが離間したときに該発光体への通電が遮断されるよう構成したことを特徴とする。
【0007】
前記課題を解決し、所期の目的を達成するため、本願の別の発明に係るパチンコ遊技機における回転装置は、
所要のパチンコゲームを展開し得る遊技盤の遊技領域内に配設されて、遊技球の接触により回転される回転装置であって、
外周に複数の球接触部が設けられ、該球接触部に前記遊技球が接触することで回転する回転体と、
前記回転体の裏面と対向するよう固定配置され、該回転体に対向する表面に発光体が配設されると共に、その裏面の所要位置に該発光体に接続する第1接触部材および電源に接続された第2接触部材が非接触状態で設けられた固定基板と、
前記回転体に回転軸を介して連結されて、該回転体と連動して回転し、前記第1および第2接触部材と対向する面の所要位置に、その回転時に両接触部材が共通的に接離可能な被接触部材を設けた回転基板とからなり、
前記回転体と連動して前記回転基板が回転する際に、前記第1および第2接触部材と前記被接触部材とが接触したときに前記発光体に通電され、第1または第2接触部材の何れか一方と該被接触部材とが離間したときに該発光体への通電が遮断されるよう構成したことを特徴とする。
【0009】
【作用】
本発明の回転装置では、遊技盤の遊技領域に打ち出された遊技球が回転体に設けられた球接触部に接触すると、該回転体と回転基板とが連動して回転する。このとき、前記回転基板に設けた接触部材と固定基板に設けた被接触部材とは接触状態と非接触状態とを繰り返し、この繰り返しに合わせて回転基板に配設された発光体が点灯,消灯を繰り返す。すなわち、遊技盤上で回転している発光体が点滅することで変化を与えると共に、遊技盤の装飾性を向上させ得る。
【0010】
また本願の別の発明によれば、遊技盤の遊技領域に打ち出された遊技球が回転体に設けられた球接触部に接触すると、該回転体と回転基板とが連動して回転する。このとき、固定基板に設けた第1および第2接触部材と前記回転基板に設けた被接触部材とは接離可能であるから、該両接触部材と被接触部材との接触により固定基板に配設された発光体への通電が行われて該発光体は点灯し、両接触部材の何れか一方と被接触部材との離間により発光体への通電は遮断されて消灯する。このように、前記回転体の回転に従って発光体が点灯,消灯を繰り返すことで、遊技盤に変化を与えると共に、遊技盤の装飾性を向上させ得る。
【0011】
【発明の実施の形態】
次に、本発明に係るパチンコ遊技機における回転装置につき、好適な実施例を挙げて、添付図面を参照しながら、以下詳細に説明する。なお本実施例では、遊技機として一般的なパチンコ機に装着される遊技盤に回転装置を配設し、この遊技盤の遊技領域に打出された遊技球と接触することで発光体が発光,消灯する場合を例示する。
【0012】
そこで先ず、パチンコ機における前枠の正面内部に着脱可能にセットされる本実施例の遊技盤について、図7を参照して要約説明する。この遊技盤11は、第1種パチンコ遊技機用のものを例示しており、パチンコゲームに供される各種の入賞用の遊技部品や表示用の遊技部品等が配設されている。すなわち、遊技盤11に配設された円形状の案内レール12内の遊技領域13において、電子制御式の図柄表示装置(遊技部品)15が中央に配設されている。この図柄表示装置15は、遊技盤11の前面側に装着セットされる前側透視体16と、内部に図柄表示ユニット等を収容して該遊技盤11の裏面側に突出状態で装着される保持枠体(図示せず)とから構成される。
【0013】
また前記入賞用の遊技部品として、入球検出に基いて前記図柄表示装置15の図柄作動条件を発生し得る始動入賞具17、普通入賞具18、両側に普通入賞具19を夫々配設すると共に中央に特別遊技の条件成立に基いて開成作動される開閉部材20を備えたアタッカータイプの特別入賞装置21の夫々が遊技盤11の所要位置に配設されている。
【0014】
【第1実施例】
本発明の第1実施例に係る回転装置22は、図1に示すように、遊技盤11の前面に取着される取付板23の表面に対向して配設される回転体25と、その裏面に配設される回転基板26および固定基板28とから基本的に構成され、該回転体25と回転基板26および固定基板28は回転軸24に共通的に支持されている。なお、第1実施例における回転体25は所謂風車であり、図7または図8に示すように、例えば前記図柄表示装置15の左右両側部に回転装置22が1基ずつ配設されて、遊技盤11の遊技領域13に打出された遊技球が該回転体25に接触することで、この回転体25は回転するようになっている。
【0015】
図2または図5に示すように、前記回転装置22における取付板23は略楕円状であり、その長手方向の両端部近傍に通孔23bが夫々穿設されると共に、各通孔23bより中央側の裏面には筒状のボス部30が夫々突設されており、図1に示すように、一対のボス部30,30を遊技盤11の所定位置に開設した装着孔33に前側から挿通した状態で、各通孔23bに前側から挿通した固定ビス31(図8参照)を遊技盤11に螺挿することで、当該取付板23が遊技盤11に着脱可能に固定される。また、前記取付板23の中央部には通孔23aが穿設されており、前記回転体25に突設される後述する筒部38、突部39および回転軸24を通出し得るようになっている。
【0016】
前記固定基板28は、図4に示すように、略円盤状に形成されると共に、その中心部を挟む両側にフランジが夫々形成され、各フランジに通孔28bが穿設されている。両通孔28b,28bは、前記取付板23の中心とこの固定基板28の中心とを整列させた際に、該取付板23に突設した前記ボス部30,30と対応した位置に形成されており、固定基板28の裏面から各通孔28bに挿通した固定ビス32を対応のボス部30に螺挿することで、固定基板28は該取付板23に固定される。
【0017】
前記取付板23の前側に配設される前記回転体25は、透明または光透過性の材料(例えばポリカーボネート等の合成樹脂)を材質として形成される。また図6に示すように、前記回転体25の外周には3種類の球接触部46,47,48が複数放射状に形成されており、各球接触部46,47,48の外端縁は同一半径位置に臨むように設定されている。また図2に示すように、前記回転体25における裏面の中央部に筒部38が突設されると共に、該筒部38を挟む回転体25の外周縁近傍には回転基板26と接合するための一対の突部39,39が突設されている。そして、各突部39の端部には該突部39より小径の接合部39aが形成されている。なお、前記回転体25および筒部38には、その軸方向中心を貫通する軸孔38aが穿設されており、前記回転軸24を挿入し得るようになっている。また、前記回転体25のキャップ状本体部25aにおける内面には、光拡散用の突起(図示せず)が放射状に形成してある。
【0018】
図2、図3または図5に示すように、前記回転基板26は円盤状に形成され、その中心部には軸孔26aが穿設されている。更に、回転基板26の外周縁近傍には、前記回転体25の軸孔38aとこの回転基板26の軸孔26aを整列させた際に、該回転体25に突設される突部39に形成された接合部39aと対応する通孔26bが穿設されている。そして、前記回転体25の筒部38および突部39,39を、前記取付板23の中央部に穿設された通孔23aに前側から挿通し、各突部39の接合部39aを回転基板26の対応する通孔26bに嵌挿することで、回転体25と回転基板26とが取付板23を挟んで対向するよう連結される。
【0019】
前記回転体25および筒部38に穿設された前記軸孔38aの直径より僅かに小径に設定されて該回転体25の前側から挿入された回転軸24が、前記回転基板26の中心部に穿設された軸孔26aに貫通された状態で、その後端部が前記固定基板28の中心部に穿設された軸孔28aに嵌挿されている。すなわち、取付板23を挟んで連結された回転体25と回転基板26とは固定基板28に配設された回転軸24に回転可能に支持され、該回転体25に形成された前記球接触部46,47,48に遊技球が接触した際には、回転体25と回転基板26とが一体的に回転するよう構成される。
【0020】
なお、前記回転軸24の前端部には径方向外方に延出し、前記回転体25および筒部38に形成した軸孔38aより大径の係合片24aが形成されており、この係合片24aが該回転体25に当接することで、回転体25の位置規制が行なわれる。また、前記回転軸24の後端部およびその近傍には、全周に亘って第1嵌合溝24bおよび第2嵌合溝24cが環状に形成されており、第1嵌合溝24bが回転基板26の裏側に臨むと共に、第2嵌合溝24cが固定基板28の裏側に臨んでいる。そして各嵌合溝24b,24cにEリング等の留め具49を嵌合することで、回転基板26の位置決めおよび回転軸24の固定基板28に対する抜け止めがなされている。なお、前記回転体25の筒部38と回転基板26との間および回転基板26と留め具49との間、更には固定基板28を挟む前後両側に臨む回転軸24に、夫々に補助部材50を介装することで回転を円滑に行ない得るようにしてある。
【0021】
前記回転体25の裏面と対向する前記回転基板26の表面には、図2または図3に示すように、複数の発光体27が配設されると共に、該回転基板26の裏面の所要位置には導電性の接触部材40が配設されている。そして、各発光体27と接触部材40とは回転基板26上に形成される配線(図示せず)で接続されており、該接触部材40と前記固定基板28の後述する被接触部材42とが接触することで発光体27に通電され、該発光体27を発光し得るようになっている。また、前記発光体27として各種の発光部材を使用し得るが、高輝度で長寿命な発光ダイオード(LED)が好適に使用され、更に複数色(例えば赤,青,黄,緑,橙,白等)のLEDを適宜選択して使用することも可能である。なお前記接触部材40としては、前記回転基板26の回転を阻害しないものであれば良く、例えばモータ等に好適に使用される金属ブラシや炭素ブラシ等を使用し得る。
【0022】
前記回転基板26の裏面と対向する前記固定基板28の表面の所要位置に、図4に示すように、回転基板26の回転時に前記接触部材40と接離可能な被接触部材42が設けられている。また固定基板28の裏面には、図示しない電源や発光制御基板に接続し得るコネクタ62が設けられており、該固定基板28に形成される配線によって、このコネクタ62は前記被接触部材42と接続されている。なお、実施例では、被接触部材42は周方向に離間する2箇所に設けられ、回転基板26が1回転する間に接触部材40と被接触部材42とが所定間隔で2度接触するようになっているが、該被接触部材42の配置数や配設間隔は任意に設定し得るものである。
【0023】
【第1実施例の作用】
次に、前述のように構成された第1実施例に係るパチンコ遊技機における回転装置の作用につき説明する。
【0024】
前述した本実施例の回転装置22では、図7に示す遊技盤11において、遊技領域13の中央に配設された電子制御式の図柄表示装置15の左右両側に取着され、該遊技領域13に打出された遊技球の接触により回転することで、該図柄表示装置15の下方に配設された始動入賞具17等へ遊技球を適宜変向案内するようになっている。
【0025】
前述の如く、第1実施例の回転装置22は、遊技盤11の前面に取付板23が固定され、この取付板23の裏面に突設されたボス部30に、前記固定基板28が固定ビス32で固定されている。更に図1、図2または図5に示すように、前記取付板23の前面には前記回転体25が臨むと共に、前記固定基板28と取付板23との間には回転基板26が臨んでおり、この回転体25と回転基板26とは固定基板28に配設された前記回転軸24に回転可能に支持されている。この回転体25に遊技球が接触することで回転基板26が連動して回転することによって、該回転基板26の裏面に設けられた前記接触部材40は、前記固定基板28の表面に設けられた被接触部材42と接触している状態(ON状態)または離間している状態(OFF状態)とを繰り返す。すなわち、接触部材40がON状態の時には、電源等に接続されている前記コネクタ62と前記発光体27とが接続されることで該発光体27に通電され、OFF状態の時には該コネクタ62と該発光体27との接続が解除されることで発光体27への通電は遮断される。従って、前記回転体25に遊技球が接触して回転基板26が回転する毎に、前記接触部材40は被接触部材42とのON状態とOFF状態とを繰り返すので、回転基板26に配設されている発光体27は回転しつつ点灯,消灯を行なう。このように、回転装置22が回転しつつ発光体27の点灯,消灯を行なうことで、遊技盤11に多彩な変化を生じて面白味が増大し、遊技者に興味を与え得ると共に、遊技盤11の装飾性を向上させ得る。また、発光体27として複数色の発光ダイオードを使用することで装飾性を飛躍的に向上させ得るので、遊技者をより惹き付けることができる。更に、この第1実施例の回転装置22では回転基板26も回転するので、この回転基板上に複数色の発光ダイオードが配設されると、回転により生じる発光ダイオードの複数色の残光が混じり合うので、遊技盤11の装飾性を更に向上させ得る。
【0026】
【第2実施例】
図9〜図13は、第2実施例に係る回転装置52を示すものであって、その構成は前述した第1実施例の回転装置22と基本的には同一で、遊技盤11の前面に取着される取付板53の表面に対向して配設される回転体55と、その裏側に配設された固定基板56および回転基板58とから構成され、回転軸54により回転体55と回転基板58とが連結されている。なお、第2実施例における回転体55は所謂風車であり、図7または図8に示すように、例えば前記図柄表示装置15の左右両側部に回転装置52が1基ずつ配設されて、遊技盤11の遊技領域13に打出された遊技球が該回転体55に接触することで、この回転体55は回転するようになっている。
【0027】
図10または図13に示すように、前記回転装置52の取付板53は、略楕円形状でその長手方向の両端部近傍には通孔53bが夫々穿設されると共に、各通孔53bより中央側には筒状のボス部68が夫々突設されている。そして図9に示すように、一対のボス部68,68を遊技盤11の所定位置に開設した装着孔33に前側から挿通した状態で、各通孔53bの前側から挿通した固定ビス31を遊技機11に螺挿することで、当該取付板53が遊技盤11に着脱可能に固定されるようになっている。また図10に示すように、前記取付板53の中心部には通孔53aが穿設されており、その中央部には軸孔59aが穿設された支持部材59が、放射状に設けられた複数のアーム部60を介して該取付板53と一体に形成されている。
【0028】
前記固定基板56は、図11に示すように、略円盤状に形成されると共に、その中心を挟む両側にフランジが夫々形成され、各フランジに通孔56bが穿設されている。そして両通孔56b,56bは、図10に示すように、前記取付板53の中心とこの固定基板56の中心を整列させた際に、該取付板53に突設されるボス部68と対応する位置に形成されており、固定基板56の裏面から各通孔56bに固定ビス32を対応のボス部68に螺挿することで、該固定基板56は前記取付板53に固定される。
【0029】
前記取付板53の前面に配設される回転体55は、透明または光透過性の材料(例えばポリカーボネート等の合成樹脂)を材質として形成されており、図14に示すように、その外周には前述したと同様の3種類の球接触部46,47,48が複数放射状に形成されている。また図9に示すように、前記回転体55の裏面の中央部には雌ネジ孔55aが螺設された筒部55bが突設され、該回転体55のキャップ状本体部55cと前記取付板53との間に一定の間隔を保持し得るようになっている。
【0030】
図10または図12に示すように、前記回転基板58は円盤状に形成されており、その中心部には軸孔58aが穿設されている。そして、この軸孔58aに、前側端部に雄ネジ部54aが形成された回転軸54の後側端部が接着剤等その他の固定手段で強固に固定されていると共に、この回転軸54より僅かに大径に設定された固定基板56の軸孔56aおよび前記取付板53の支持部材59の軸孔59aを回転軸54が貫通した状態で、雄ネジ部54aを前記回転体55の雌ネジ孔55aに螺挿することで該回転体55と回転基板58とが連結固定されている。すなわち、前記取付板53および固定基板56の両軸孔56a,59aで回転軸54を回転可能に支持することで、前記回転体55に形成された前記球接触部46,47,48に遊技球が接触した際には、回転体55と回転基板58とが一体的に回転するよう構成される。なお、前記回転体55と前記取付板53の支持部材59との間および前記固定基板56と前記回転基板58との間に位置する回転軸54に、夫々補助部材50を介装することで回転を円滑に行ない得るようにしてある。
【0031】
更に図9に示すように、前記取付板53の裏面と対向する前記固定基板56の表面の所要位置には、複数の発光体27が配設されている。そして、固定基板56に形成される突出片61の裏面には、図示しない電源や発光制御基板に接続されるコネクタ62が配設されると共に、該固定基板56の裏面の所要位置には前記発光体27と接続された第1接触部材64と該コネクタ62に接続された第2接触部材65とが互いに非接触状態で設けられ、この両接触部材64,65と後述する被接触部材67とが接触することで、発光体27に通電され、該発光体27を発光し得るようになっている。また前記第1実施例と同様に、前記発光体27としては高輝度で長寿命な発光ダイオード(LED)が好適に使用され、更に複数色(例えば赤,青,黄,緑,橙,白等)のLEDを適宜選択して使用することが可能である。また、前記第1および第2接触部材64,65としては、前記被接触部材67の回転を阻害しないものであれば良く、例えばモータ等に好適に使用される金属ブラシや炭素ブラシ等を使用し得る。
【0032】
前記固定基板56と対向する前記回転基板58の表面の所要位置には、図12に示すように、導電性の被接触部材67が設けられており、該回転基板58の回転時に前記第1および第2接触部材64,65が共通的に接離可能となっている。なお、第2実施例においても、第1実施例と同様に被接触部材67は周方向に離間する2箇所に設けられ、回転基板58が1回転する間に両接触部材64,65と被接触部材67とが所定間隔で2度接触するようになっているが、該被接触部材67の配置数や配設間隔は任意に設定し得るものである。
【0033】
【第2実施例の作用】
次に、前述のように構成された第2実施例に係るパチンコ遊技機における回転装置の作用につき説明する。
【0034】
前述の如く、第2実施例の回転装置52は、遊技機11に取付板53が固定され、この取付板53の裏面に突設されたボス部68には、前記固定基板56が固定ビス32で固定されている。更に図9に示すように、前記取付板53の表面に対向するように前記回転体55が臨むと共に、前記固定基板56の裏面と対向するように回転基板58が臨んでおり、この回転体55と回転基板58とは、前記支持部材59に穿設した軸孔59aおよび固定基板56に穿設した軸孔56aに回転可能に挿通支持された前記回転軸54を介して連結固定されている。このように、前記各軸孔56a,59aの2点で前記回転軸54を支持することで、該回転軸54はブレることなく安定して回転し得る。そして、回転体55に遊技球が接触して回転することで前記回転基板58が連動して回転する。このとき、前記固定基板56の裏面に設けられた第1および第2接触部材64,65が、前記回転基板58の表面に設けられた前記被接触部材67に共通的に接触している状態(ON状態)または第1または第2接触部材64,65の何れか一方が離間している状態(OFF状態)とを繰り返す。すなわち、ON状態の時には、前記発光体27に接続された第1接触部材64と、前記コネクタ62と接続された第2接触部材65とが被接触部材67を介して接続されるので発光体27への通電が行なわれ、OFF状態の時には発光体27とコネクタ62との接続は解除されるので、該発光体27への通電は遮断される。
【0035】
このように、前記回転体55に遊技球が接触して回転基板58が回転する毎に、前記第1および第2接触部材64,65は被接触部材67とのON状態とOFF状態とを繰り返すので、前記固定基板58に配設されている発光体27は点灯,消灯を行なう。従って、回転装置52が回転しつつ発光体27の点灯,消灯を行なうことで、遊技盤11に変化を生じて面白味が増大し、遊技者に興味を与え得ると共に、遊技盤11の装飾性を向上させ得る。また点灯,消灯を繰り返す発光体27に、複数色の発光ダイオードを使用することで装飾性が飛躍的に向上し得るので、遊技者をより惹き付けることができる。

For example, by placing the rotating device according to the present invention in a place where a game ball easily passes, the frequency of lighting and extinguishing of the light emitter increases, and the game board has a variety of changes by causing various changes in the game board. It is possible to improve the game, and it is placed near special game generating parts (so-called roles) where the passing of the game ball is relatively small, so that the expectation for the special game is increased when the light emitter emits light. It is also possible.
[0037]
The fixing method of the fixed substrate is not limited to the means for fixing with a screw or the like as in the embodiment. For example, an engagement hole is formed in the fixed substrate and a hook portion is formed in the mounting plate, and the hook portion is engaged. It may be fixed by being fitted into the hole. Moreover, as a light-emitting body, LED and other light emission means are employable suitably. In the first and second embodiments, a plurality of light emitters are connected to one contact member so that each light emitter emits light simultaneously. However, a contact member is provided corresponding to each light emitter. Thus, when the rotating body rotates, each contact member sequentially contacts or separates from the contacted member so that each light emitter can be turned on and off, or each light emitter can be controlled to emit light randomly. It is.
[0038]
【The invention's effect】
As described above, according to the rotating device in the pachinko gaming machine according to the present invention, when the rotating body is rotated by contact with the game ball, it is possible to turn on and off the light emitting body, and in the gaming area. When the game ball to be launched and the rotating body come into contact with each other, a change in light emission occurs in the game board, which may be interesting to the player, and the decorativeness of the game board surface may be improved. Therefore, the rotating device according to the present invention is arranged at a place where the game ball easily passes to increase the frequency of turning on and off the light emitter, causing various changes in the game board, or comparing the passage of the game ball. It is possible to increase the expectation of the special game when the light-emitting body is turned on and off by arranging it in the vicinity of a part (general object) or the like that generates a special game that is relatively small. In particular, in a configuration in which a light emitter is disposed on a rotating substrate that rotates integrally with the rotor, lighting and extinction are repeated while the light emitter rotates, so that interest is further increased. Further, by using light emitting diodes of a plurality of colors for the light-emitting body that repeatedly turns on and off, the decoration of the game board can be dramatically improved, so that the player can be attracted more.
