BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a structure of a game ball winning device that captures a game ball by opening and closing a winning guide member on a game board surface of a pachinko machine.
[0002]
[Prior art]
Various forms of pachinko machine game ball winning devices have been known in the past, but the large winning opening is configured to open a horizontally long plate-like lid (winning guide member) by operating a solenoid at the so-called big hit. It has been done.
[0003]
By the way, in the conventional structure of the above-mentioned large winning opening, the winning guide member is opened when, for example, a wire like a wire is inserted into the glass frame and the winning guide member is forcibly opened to open the game ball. In some cases, cheating was done to win a prize ball.
[0004]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
The present inventors have provided a game ball provided with a lock mechanism that locks the winning guide member in an upright state by making a braking piece relative to a predetermined relational position so as to prevent the above-described fraud. The prize-winning device was invented and applied for a patent.
[0005]
However, when the lock mechanism is provided in this manner, even if the store clerk properly opens the front glass plate and opens the winning guide member as necessary, the store clerk does not open unless the solenoid operates. There is a problem of making it difficult to perform actions. Therefore, it was considered that a small hole into which a pin can be inserted is opened, and that a winning guide member is opened by opening a glass frame and inserting a predetermined pin into the small hole. There is also a possibility that the winning guide member may be opened by a person inserting a wire into the small hole.
[0006]
Therefore, the present invention makes it almost impossible for an unauthorized player to open a winning guide member using a wire or the like without opening a glass frame, and even performs a legitimate opening action of the winning guide member. It is intended not to be difficult.
[0007]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
For this purpose, the present invention supports the winning guide member so as to be able to stand upright and tiltably on a rotation shaft provided substantially horizontally, so that when the winning guide member is tilted, the game ball is captured and won on the winning guide member. In the gaming ball winning device of the pachinko machine, a lock mechanism is provided to lock the winning guide member in an upright state by making the braking piece relative to a predetermined relationship position, and the lock mechanism is locked by rotating it. A handle that can be released is provided on the game board.
In the present invention, the winning guide member is supported upright and tiltably on a substantially horizontal rotating shaft, and when the winning guide member is tilted, the game ball is captured on the winning guide member and wins. In a game ball winning device of a pachinko machine, a lock mechanism is provided to lock the winning guide member in an upright state by making a braking piece relative to a predetermined relationship position, and the lock mechanism is unlocked by rotating it. The winning guide member is formed by a first operation of releasing a lockable state by projecting a possible handle on the game board and rotating the knob to release the locked state, and a second operation of pulling the winning guide member forward. It is characterized in that it can be tilted.
[0008]
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
Next, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. 1 is a front view of a pachinko machine in which a game ball winning device 1 according to the present invention is provided on a game board 2, FIG. 2 is an external perspective view of this game ball winning device 1, FIG. 3 is a longitudinal sectional view thereof, FIG. Is a perspective view of the main part, and FIGS. 5 and 6 are exploded perspective views of the main part. In the figure, 3 is a mounting plate attached to the front surface of the game board 2, 4 is a horizontally long winning opening provided on the mounting plate, 5 is a rotating edge 6, 6 at the lower edge of the winning winning opening It is a rectangular lid plate-shaped winning guide member supported so as to be able to stand and tilt.
[0009]
At both ends of the lower back edge portion of the winning guide member 5, flange portions 7a and 7b are integrally formed, and a horizontal shaft-like engagement portion 8 is integrally formed on one of the flange portions 7a.
[0010]
9 is a solenoid vertically provided so that the spindle 10 is on the lower side, 11 is a brake piece fixed to the tip of the spindle 10 and is moved up and down by the operation of the solenoid, and 12 is the spindle. This is a return coil spring that urges 10 downward. The brake piece 11 has a pair of protrusions 13 and 14 formed in a substantially U shape on the front edge thereof. The upper protruding portion 13 is formed slightly shorter than the lower protruding portion 14, and the tip end surface 13 a is formed so as to be substantially parallel to the forward / backward moving direction of the braking piece 11. Reference numerals 15 and 15 are normal winning holes formed on the front surface of the mounting plate 3, and 16 is a front glass plate stretched to form a game ball flow-down space 17 on the front surface of the game board 2.
[0011]
20 is a through-hole formed in the mounting plate 3 so as to face the lower projection 14, 21 is a knob projecting on the game board by inserting the shaft 22 into the through-hole, and 23 is the shaft A cylindrical cam body fixed eccentrically by fitting a square shaft portion 24 formed at the tip of the portion 22 into a square hole 25 formed in an eccentric position, and the protrusion 14 on the cam body. Is located. As shown in FIG. 6, 26 is a stopper protruding from the cam body, 27 and 27 are stoppers protruding from the back surface of the mounting plate 3, and the rotation range of the knob 20 is controlled by the stopper. The angle is limited to about 180 degrees or less. Reference numeral 28 denotes a semi-cylindrical housing projecting on the game board for preventing the game ball from hitting the handle. Reference numeral 29 denotes a sticker paper affixed to the front end surface to indicate the rotation direction of the knob 21 with an arrow.
[0012]
In this game ball winning device, as shown in FIG. 3, when the solenoid 9 is demagnetized and the braking piece 11 is below due to the elasticity of the coil spring 12, the tip surface 13 a of the upper protrusion 13 is the engaging portion 8. Since the rearward rotation of the engaging portion 8 is prevented by facing the rear side thereof, even if the winning guide member 5 is opened by an unauthorized means using a wire or the like, the winning guide member is in an upright state. Locked and cannot be opened. Therefore, when the solenoid 9 is energized and the braking piece 11 moves upward, the engaging portion 8 is lifted by the lower protrusion 14, so that the winning guide member 5 is tilted forward and protrudes into the game ball flow space of the game board. The sphere can be captured. Further, when the solenoid 9 is demagnetized, the braking piece 11 is moved downward by the elasticity of the coil spring 12, so that the engaging portion 8 is pushed down by the upper protruding portion 13 to return to the standing state.
[0013]
When the store clerk tries to open the winning guide member 5 as a legitimate act such as “bonus”, the cam frame is opened by opening the glass frame using a predetermined key and rotating the knob 21 in the direction of the arrow. 23 rotates 180 degrees at the maximum, and the cam body pushes up the protrusion 14, so that the braking piece 11 is lifted and the locked state is released, and the winning guide member 5 is opened halfway as shown in FIG. Therefore, the winning guide member 5 can be opened as shown in FIG. 8 by placing the finger (toe) on the half-open winning guide member 5 and pulling it forward.
[0014]
Thus, in the winning device shown in this embodiment, the first operation for releasing the locked state by rotating the knob 21 and the second operation for pulling forward by placing a finger on the winning guide member 5. The winning guide member can be tilted for the first time through two operations. For this reason, even if the wire is hooked on the winning guide member 5 for an unauthorized purpose without opening the glass frame, the winning guide member 5 will not open by itself, and unauthorized opening becomes almost impossible.
[0015]
Although not shown in the drawing, if the shape of the cam body 23 is set so that the cam body 23 lifts the brake piece 11 even further when the knob 21 is rotated, winning guidance can be obtained simply by operating the knob 21. The member 5 can also be opened. Even in such a case, since it is difficult to rotate the knob 21 using a wire, there is an effect of preventing unauthorized opening.
[0016]
Moreover, other embodiment of this invention shown in FIGS. 9-12 has provided the 2nd knob 30 on the opposite side of the knob 21 provided in the one side of the big winning opening 4, and the knob 21 and By rotating the knob 30 in order, the locked state is released and the winning guide member is tilted. That is, as shown in FIG. 11, first, the brake piece 11 is lifted halfway by rotating the knob 21 and then the knob 30 is rotated as shown in FIG. The locked state is released and the winning guide member 5 is opened. In this case, an engagement groove 33 is formed on the outer peripheral surface of the cam body 32 fixed to the shaft portion 31 of the knob 30. When the winning guide member 5 is in the standing state, the collar portion 7b is in the engagement state. Since the knob 30 cannot be rotated because it is fitted in the joint groove 33, the knob 30 can be rotated for the first time after the winning guide member 5 is half-opened and the collar portion 7b is detached from the engaging groove 33. The member 5 is configured to be opened. For this reason, even if only one knob is operated, the winning guide member 5 cannot be opened, and it is almost impossible to open the winning guide member 5 for an improper purpose, which can prevent fraud more completely. It becomes like this.
[0017]
In the embodiment shown in FIG. 13, the knob 21 is rotated by setting the lower edge of the collar part 7 b to be located below the shaft part 31 of the knob 30 when in the locked state. Even if the knob 30 is operated without rotation, the cam guide 32 only hits the side surface of the collar 7b so that the winning guide member 5 cannot be opened. In this case, the knob 21 is first rotated. Then, the lower part of the collar part 7b moves upward as shown by the broken line b, and secondly, if the knob 30 is rotated, the cam body 32 pushes up the collar part 7b and wins a prize. The guide member 5 can be opened. Thus, by setting the relative position of the cam body 32 and the collar portion 7b, the winning guide member 5 can be set not to be opened in one operation.
[0018]
Further, in the embodiment shown in FIG. 14, a knob 40 is provided on the game board so that the winning guide member 5 can be opened by pushing it. That is, the knob 40 is urged outward by a coil spring 42 fitted on the shaft portion 41, and the cam body 43 is formed with a stopper 45 that engages with a stopper 44 formed on the back surface of the mounting plate 3. In an initial state, the stopper 45 is engaged with the stopper 44 so that the knob 40 is supported in a non-rotatable manner. As shown in FIG. 15, the stopper 44 is pushed by pushing the knob 40 as a first operation. , 45 are disengaged so that the knob 40 can be rotated, whereby the cam body 43 rotates and the braking piece 11 is lifted. Thus, even with one knob 40, it can be set so that two operations are required before the winning guide member 5 is opened.
It should be noted that the embodiments of the present invention as exemplified above can be arbitrarily combined to design an apparatus according to the intended purpose.
[0019]
In this embodiment, the brake piece is operated by a solenoid, but instead of using the solenoid, the brake piece is moved by a linkage that is moved by the ball weight of a game ball won in another winning opening. It may be configured. In this embodiment, the brake piece has been described as moving vertically, but the brake piece may be horizontally or rotationally moved, and the brake piece may be composed of two or more transmission members. The transmission member may be configured to move forward / backward or rotate. Further, the lock mechanism may be a structure to which a lock member is added in addition to a brake piece. Further, in this embodiment, the rotation operation of the knob is applied to the braking piece via the cam body, but the transmission system may be any of the plurality of transmission members.
[0020]
Further, although this embodiment has been described with respect to the big winning opening, all variable winning devices (such as airplanes or tulips) that guide the game ball by turning a pair of winning guide members on the surface of the game board. ) Is also possible.
Further, the shape of the knob is not limited to the one shown in the figure, and it may be used as a deformed decorative body or a ball guide member, or the normal winning opening 15 can be rotated like a knob. The locked state of the lock mechanism may be released by the rotation operation. Alternatively, it is possible to provide some kind of knob on the bearing member or the like that supports the rotary shafts 6 and 6 of the winning guide member.
[0021]
【The invention's effect】
As described above, according to the present invention, the winning guide member is supported upright and tiltably on the rotation shaft provided substantially horizontally, and when the winning guide member is tilted, the game ball is captured on the winning guide member and won. In the game ball winning device for a pachinko machine, a locking mechanism for locking the winning guide member in an upright state by providing a braking piece relative to a predetermined relational position is provided, and by rotating the locking mechanism, Since the knob that can be released from the locked state is provided on the game board, there is a beneficial effect that the illegal action using the wire or the like can be more completely prevented.
