Description

  The present invention relates to a game medium return passage for returning a game medium such as a pachinko ball to an island in which pachinko machines or the like are arranged, a pedestal machine with a game medium return path, and a method for attaching the pedestal machine to the game medium return path. , Regarding.

  Conventionally, pachinko balls are returned to the dove in the island via spring-like bodies such as the ball passage tube 6 of Patent Document 1, the spiral bellows 19 of Patent Document 2, and the spiral tube 90 of Patent Document 3. A spring-like body is a spring-like body usually formed of a metallic linear body in a spiral shape. The spacing between the linear bodies is considerably narrower than the diameter of the pachinko balls, so re-banding the pachinko balls upward It is not possible to reduce the falling speed. Conventionally, for example, when a pachinko ball game medium return passage (passage on the front and rear sides of the ball counter 23) that traverses from the player side to the island is provided below the intermediary machine as in Patent Document 4, for example. The traversing game medium return path becomes a runway, and the impact received at the drop point is even greater as the runway accelerates and accelerates.

  However, in the conventional example as described above, the discharged ball is fixed in the falling direction by the spring-like body in Patent Documents 1 to 3 or the game medium return passage in Patent Document 4, and the dropping point becomes one point. Since the falling speed of the game medium is not reduced, there is a problem that the dove is damaged by repeatedly dropping to a predetermined point of the dove for flowing down to the ball polishing and feeding device. .

  This invention is made | formed in view of such a situation, and it aims at reducing the damage of the fall given to a dropping point when a ball is returned.

In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the game medium return path of the present invention is a game medium return path for returning a plurality of game media in a parallel manner in an island in which pachinko machines are arranged. A drop limiting mechanism for dispersing the falling direction of the game medium and reducing the falling speed of the game medium on the outside of the game machine, wherein the drop limiting mechanism can simultaneously drop a plurality of the game media by a linear body. The bottom portion is formed in a cylindrical shape having an opening, and has a bottom portion through which the gaming medium cannot pass, and the bottom portion is formed so that a plurality of gaming media can be accumulated. And having a space portion between the upstream end and the downstream end where the game medium falls and allowing the game medium to pass and fall outside the drop limiting mechanism, the space portion being upstream Narrow, downstream And said that no.

  According to the present invention, the outer side of the exit side of the game medium return passage is provided with the drop restriction mechanism for dispersing the fall direction of the game medium and reducing the drop speed, so that the drop points are dispersed, Since the falling speed can be reduced, the impact at the dropping point of the game medium can be reduced.

  The drop limiting mechanism according to the present invention is an object for changing the falling direction of a falling game medium to a plurality of directions, and a game medium is being dropped in order to reduce the falling speed of the falling game medium. The object to be rebanded as a result of the contact with the game medium is arranged between the exit of the return passage and the dove which is the drop point so that the game medium falling in the direction of the game medium fall is in contact. is there. Further, the drop restriction mechanism does not necessarily have to be attached to the game medium return path itself, and may be attached to the intermediary machine or a casing or support adjacent to the intermediary machine.

  In addition, the game medium return passage of the present invention is characterized in that it is formed to project downward so that the game medium can be accumulated.

  Further, in the game medium return path of the present invention, the drop limiting mechanism is a spring-like body in which a linear body is formed in a spiral structure, and at least a part of the spring-like body receives the game medium. A space between the linear bodies that can pass is formed to form the space portion.

  According to this invention, the fall restricting mechanism is a spring-like body formed by forming a linear body in a spiral structure, and at least a part of the spring-like body passes between the linear bodies that can pass through the game medium. Since the space portion is formed to open the space portion, it passes through the linear bodies that can pass through the game medium and jumps out of the spring-shaped body, and according to the position where the game medium hits the linear body during the fall Thus, the falling direction can be changed or the band can be rebanded as a result of contact with the game medium during the fall of the game medium to decrease the drop speed.

  Since the diameter of the pachinko ball is about 11 mm, the distance between the linear bodies that can pass through the game medium is also preferably 11 mm or more.

In the game medium return path of the present invention, the bottom portion is a spiral portion formed like a spiral inside the linear body, and a gap between the linear bodies prevents the game medium from dropping. It is formed so as to be narrower than the diameter.

  The game media return passage of the present invention is further connected to a ball passage that guides the game media flowing down from the ball receiving portion that receives the game media discharged from the pachinko machine to the game media return passage, and the game It is characterized by an inclined road having an inclination capable of flowing the medium from the player side into the island.

  Further, the inter-machine according to the present invention can further include the above-described game medium return passage or can be disposed adjacent to the game machine, and is provided adjacent to the game table and stored in the inserted cash or the received storage medium. It is characterized in that processing for renting a game medium is performed based on the value-specific information specified. According to the present invention, the game medium return passage of the present invention can be applied to the inter-machine. “Processing for renting game media” means a machine that lends pachinko balls from the machine itself to the upper plate of the pachinko machine via a nozzle, and the pachinko machine rents pachinko balls to the upper plate. In addition, an inter-unit unit that outputs an instruction signal from the inter-machine to the pachinko machine can be exemplified.

  Further, according to the gaming medium return path mounting method of the present invention, the game medium return path described above is provided adjacent to the gaming table, and the stored value is stored in the inserted cash or the received storage medium. It has the process of attaching to the downward side of the machine between the machines which performs the process for lending a game medium based on specific information. According to this invention, the game medium return path of the present invention can be attached to the inter-machine.

  According to the present invention, the fall point is dispersed because the fall limit mechanism for dispersing the fall direction of the game media or / and reducing the fall speed is provided outside the exit side of the game media return passage. In addition, since the falling speed can be reduced, it is possible to reduce the damage caused by the impact at the dropping point of the game medium.

  Hereinafter, a game medium return path, a table machine with a game medium return path, and a method of mounting a game machine return path with a game machine according to the best embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing a game machine return passage and a pedestal machine with a game media return passage according to the present invention. Reference numeral 1 denotes a drop limiting mechanism. Reference numeral 3 is a game medium return passage, from the player side inherent in the lower part of the intermediary machine of reference numeral 8 to the throat 5 in the island (facility in the pachinko hall in which the gaming machines and interim machines are alternately arranged). It is a ramp with a slope that can flow down. An exit 2 is provided on the downstream side of the game medium return passage 3, and a drop limiting mechanism 1 is provided outside the exit 2. Reference numeral 4 denotes a ball passage that guides the game medium flowing down from the ball receiving portion 6 to the game medium return passage 3. Reference numeral 7 denotes a pachinko game machine.

  In FIG. 1, if a player inserts a banknote into the banknote insertion slot 9, and the banknote is true, the player associates it with a recording medium existing in the recording medium (for example, a card) reception port 10 and counts the value of the banknote (value is valuable). ) Is stored in a management device (not shown) networked so as to be communicable with the inter-station machine 8. When a player presses a ball lending button 11 provided on the game table 7, a pachinko ball (game medium) is lent out from the game table 7 to the upper plate. Then, the player plays a game by driving a pachinko ball into the gaming table 7, and as a result of the game, when a game medium is acquired, the player releases it from the lower plate of the gaming table 7 to the ball receiving unit 6. Then, the game medium received by the ball receiving part 6 is guided to the game medium return path 3 having an inclination capable of flowing down through the ball path 4 toward the inner side of the island, and from the drop restriction mechanism 1 to the inside of the island through the exit 2. Discharge to Dobu 5. When the player finishes the game and presses the return button 12 provided on the gaming table 7, the recording medium is discharged from the recording medium receiving port 10. By the way, the game medium return passage 3 is assumed to be present in the lower part of the intermediary machine 8, but it is provided in the lower part of the intermediary machine 8 in an enclosure 13 separate from the casing of the intermediary machine 8. Also good.

  In FIG. 1, Dobu 5 is an inclined path that inclines so that the pachinko ball can flow down toward the center of the island where the transporter provided on the most downstream side is located, and is often composed of a thin metal plate. When the drop restricting mechanism 1 is not provided, a hole is easily formed by an impact caused by repeated collisions with the pachinko ball dropped from the outlet 2 and it becomes difficult to flow the pachinko ball down to the center of the island. Therefore, in the present embodiment, a drop limiting mechanism is provided outside the exit side of the game medium return passage 3 to disperse the falling direction of the pachinko balls and reduce the dropping speed so that there are no holes in the dough.

  The fall limiting mechanism 1 can be exemplified in various modes. In this embodiment, 1A in Type A in FIG. 2, 1A ′ in Type A ′ in FIG. 3, 1B in Type B in FIG. 4, and in Type C in FIG. 1C, 1D in Type D in FIG. 6 and 1E in Type E in FIG. 7 will be described as an example. As the best embodiment, Type A, Type A 'and the like in FIGS. 2 and 3 are exemplified.

  FIG. 2 will be described. FIG. 2 is a diagram viewed from the longitudinal direction in the island in the horizontal direction (viewed from the right in FIG. 1). In FIG. 2, the outlet 2 drilled on the downstream side of the game medium return passage 3 has an opening area through which the pachinko balls flowing down can pass. Below the outlet 2, a drop limiting mechanism 1 </ b> A is suspended from the lower surface of the game medium return passage 3. The game medium return passage 3 has a dimension that allows the two pachinko balls to flow in parallel because the dimension in the short direction on the player side of the intermediary machine 8 is less than 4 cm. Accordingly, the opening area of the outlet 2 is also provided in an area where two 11 mm diameter pachinko balls can pass side by side.

  The drop limiting mechanism 1A is a spring-like body formed by forming a linear body into a spiral structure. The linear body can be formed using metal, plastic, or the like. The opening in the uppermost stream on the outlet 2 side of the spring-like body has a circular cross section in an area larger than the opening area of the outlet 2. The opening in the uppermost stream on the outlet 2 side of the spring-like body can be smoothly led to the dove 5 without being an obstacle to the passage of the pachinko balls falling from the outlet 2 by having such an opening area.

  Further, in the fall restriction mechanism 1A, in the length region of 1A3, the interval Q between the linear bodies formed in the spring-like body is smaller than ½ of the 11 mm diameter of the pachinko ball, and the pachinko ball collides with the linear body. In this case, since the lower hemisphere of the pachinko ball does not collide with the linear body, it does not reband upward, so that the fall speed of the pachinko ball is increased by gravity in the 1A3 length region.

  In addition, in the fall restriction mechanism 1A, in the length region of 1A5, the interval P between the linear bodies formed in the spring-like body is larger than the diameter of the pachinko ball 11 mm, and when the pachinko ball collides with the linear body, Since there is a possibility that the lower hemisphere of the ball collides with the linear body, if there is such a collision, it rebands upward and the falling speed of the pachinko ball decreases. In addition, since the interval P between the linear bodies formed in the spring-like body is larger than the diameter of the pachinko balls, the pachinko balls may be discharged outside the spring-like body through the linear bodies. Since it cannot be specified whether it passes through between the bodies, the falling direction of the pachinko balls is dispersed.

  Here, the fall restricting mechanism 1A has a distance P between the linear bodies formed in the spring-like body in the length region of 1A5 that is larger than ½ of the diameter 11 mm of the pachinko ball and up to 11 mm. Good. In this case, when the pachinko ball collides with the linear body, when the lower hemisphere of the pachinko ball collides with the linear body, it rebands upward, so that the fall speed of the pachinko ball decreases in the 1A5 length region. . However, the spacing P between the linear bodies is larger than ½ of the diameter of the pachinko ball 11 mm and the fall speed can be reduced up to 11 mm, but it cannot be discharged to the outside of the spring-like body, so it is formed in the spring-like body. The spacing P between the linear bodies may be formed so that the pachinko balls can pass, or may be dropped directly downward without providing the spiral portion 1A1 at the bottom.

  Further, in the length region of 1A5, there are provided progress obstructing portions OJT1, OJT2, OJT3, OJT4, etc. that protrude inside the spring-shaped body formed in a cylindrical shape and obstruct the progress of the pachinko balls. The progress obstructing part is a rod-like body (the shape does not have to be rod-like) attached to the linear body of the spring-like body, and the tip protruding inward points the pachinko ball toward the linear body It is provided with a downward inclination (only downward inclination in FIG. 2) or an upward inclination so as to play. The fall restricting mechanism 1A is formed such that the spacing between the linear bodies is dense in the region of the upstream side 1A3, and the spacing between the linear bodies is sparse in the region of the downstream side 1A5. By forming in this way, it is possible to prevent the pachinko balls from being discharged to the outside of the spring-like body on the upstream side 1A3 where the potential energy is large.

  Further, the fall restricting mechanism 1A forms a spiral portion 1A1 like a spiral inside the linear body as shown by Type A-Bottom View in FIG. 2 on the most downstream side that is suspended from the game medium return passage 3 and attached. Thus, the lowermost end portion of the linear body is formed in the vicinity of the spiral center 1A2 of the spiral portion 1A1. By doing in this way, the pachinko ball that has fallen vertically from the outlet 2 out of the pachinko balls is also surely received by the spiral portion 1A1, and the falling speed is lowered to pass through the surrounding linear body K and externally. To be discharged. The spiral portion 1A1 may have a center 1A2 convex upward, but the direction in which the pachinko balls fall is biased toward the discharge from the K through which the pachinko balls can pass. If it is convex, there will be several pachinko balls in the area where the K between the linear bodies is smaller than the pachinko balls, and when the fallen pachinko balls collide with the accumulated pachinko balls, the accumulated pachinko balls and newly fallen pachinko balls Since the collision angles of the balls vary, the direction in which the pachinko balls fall can be further dispersed.

  Next, FIG. 3 will be described. FIG. 3 is a view seen from the longitudinal direction in the island in the horizontal direction (viewed from the right direction in FIG. 1). In FIG. 3, the outlet 2 drilled on the downstream side of the game medium return passage 3 has an opening area through which a pachinko ball flowing down can pass. Below the outlet 2, a drop restricting mechanism 1 </ b> A ′ is provided on the lower surface of the game medium return passage 3 so as to be “slanting with respect to the vertically downward direction”. The game medium return passage 3 has a dimension that allows the two pachinko balls to flow in parallel because the dimension in the short direction on the player side of the intermediary machine 8 is less than 4 cm. Accordingly, the opening area of the outlet 2 is also provided in an area where two 11 mm diameter pachinko balls can pass side by side.

  The drop limiting mechanism 1A 'is a spring-like body formed by forming a linear body into a spiral structure. The linear body can be formed using metal, plastic, or the like. The opening in the uppermost stream on the outlet 2 side of the spring-like body has a circular cross section in an area larger than the opening area of the outlet 2. The opening in the uppermost stream on the outlet 2 side of the spring-like body can be smoothly led to the dove 5 without being an obstacle to the passage of the pachinko balls falling from the outlet 2 by having such an opening area.

  Further, the fall restricting mechanism 1A ′ has a close interval between the linear bodies on the upstream side and a small interval between the linear bodies on the downstream side. Can be prevented from being discharged outside.

  Further, in the fall restricting mechanism 1A ′, the interval P between the linear bodies forming the spring-like body is formed at a width that allows the pachinko balls to pass through the downstream side, and the pachinko balls pass through this space and are dispersed in various directions. And the lower hemisphere of the fallen pachinko ball can come into contact with the linear body to reduce the fall speed.

  Further, the fall restricting mechanism 1A ′ is formed so that the pachinko ball dropped from the outlet 2 slightly obliquely downward from the outlet 2 and hits a linear body that always forms a spring-like body during the fall. The drop speed of the ball can be reliably reduced.

  Further, the fall restricting mechanism 1A ′ forms a spiral portion like a spiral inside the linear body as shown by Type A′-PS View in FIG. 3 on the most downstream side attached by hanging down from the game medium return passage 3. The center of the spiral is the most downstream. And the interval of the linear body until it reaches the center of the spiral makes it possible to pass the pachinko ball, so that the point where the fallen pachinko ball contacts the linear body becomes various points, so the falling direction is dispersed In addition, the falling speed can be reduced by rebanding the linear body above the linear body.

  Next, FIG. 4 will be described. FIG. 4 is a view seen from the longitudinal direction in the island in the horizontal direction (viewed from the right direction in FIG. 1). In FIG. 4, the outlet 2 drilled on the downstream side of the game medium return passage 3 has an opening area through which a pachinko ball flowing down can pass. Below the outlet 2, a drop restricting mechanism 1 </ b> B is suspended from the lower surface of the game medium return passage 3.

  The fall restricting mechanism 1B includes the upstream end of the rod-like body 1B1 on the lower surface of the game medium return passage 3, and includes protrusions 1B2, 1B3, or 1B4 at the falling point of the pachinko ball. The falling speed is reduced by hitting and rebanding the pachinko balls that have fallen on the protrusions 1B2, 1B3, or 1B4. The protrusions 1B2, 1B3, or 1B4 are formed of a low resilience material such as a synthetic resin or a low-mass metal, and suppress the increase of the pachinko balls due to rebanding as much as possible. The protrusions 1B1 and 1B4 are horizontally flat, but the falling direction can be dispersed by the pachinko balls hitting the edges of the flats or by variations in the falling course of the pachinko balls.

  Further, it is preferable that the protrusion 1B3 has a dome shape (may be conical), and the top 1B = TOP is provided at the drop point, since the drop point has some variation, and the drop direction can be dispersed. Similarly, it is preferable that 1B2 and 1B4 are formed as curved surfaces instead of flat plates because the falling direction of the pachinko balls can be dispersed. In the case of 1B4, it is preferable because the falling direction of the pachinko balls is changed.

  Another protrusion may be a funnel-shaped one with the tip of the cone constricted downwards, which distributes the falling direction of the pachinko balls hitting the curved surface forming the cone and reduces the falling speed by rebanding. Can be reduced. Also, the apex of the cone may be cut so that the pachinko ball is dropped from the cut opening, but since the falling points are concentrated, the pachinko ball is stored without cutting, and the spherical surface of the stored pachinko ball A newly falling pachinko ball may be collided to disperse the falling direction of the pachinko ball, and the dropping speed may be reduced by rebanding.

  Next, FIG. 5 will be described. FIG. 5 is a view seen from the longitudinal direction in the island in the horizontal direction (viewed from the right direction in FIG. 1). In FIG. 5, the outlet 2 drilled on the downstream side of the game medium return passage 3 has an opening area through which the pachinko balls flowing down can pass. Below the outlet 2, a drop restricting mechanism 1 </ b> C is provided on the lower surface of the game medium return passage 3.

  The drop limiting mechanism 1C includes the upstream end of the rod-shaped body 1C1 on the lower surface of the game medium return passage 3, and includes a plurality of projecting portions 1C2, 1C3, 1C4, and 1C5 at the falling point of the pachinko ball. Each of the protrusions 1C2, 1C3, 1C4, 1C5 is a pachinko ball in which a number of wires are formed in the shape of a tree branch, the upper surface is a spherical surface, an elongated rectangular parallelepiped, and an egg shape, and has different drop points as indicated by Type C-Bottom View. It is arranged slightly shifted corresponding to. With this configuration, the falling points of the pachinko balls are dispersed, and the falling speed can be reduced by rebanding upward when colliding with each protrusion.

  Next, FIG. 6 will be described. FIG. 6 is a view seen from the longitudinal direction in the island in the horizontal direction (viewed from the right direction in FIG. 1). In FIG. 6, the outlet 2 drilled on the downstream side of the game medium return passage 3 has an opening area through which a pachinko ball flowing down can pass. On the side of the outlet 2 (on the right side in the figure), a drop limiting mechanism 1D is provided on the outlet 2 side of the game medium return passage 3. The drop limiting mechanism 1D is a spring-like body in which a linear body is formed in a spiral shape, and is formed so that the expansion / contraction direction of the spring is in the horizontal direction (right side in the figure). The distance between the linear bodies in the drop limiting mechanism 1D is formed in a shape that allows the pachinko balls to pass through, and the direction of the fall is that the pachinko balls are dropped from each of g1, g2, g3, g4, g5, g6, and g7. Can be dispersed.

  Next, FIG. 7 will be described. FIG. 7 is a view seen from the longitudinal direction in the island in the horizontal direction (viewed from the right direction in FIG. 1). In FIG. 7, the outlet 2 drilled on the downstream side of the game medium return passage 3 has an opening area through which a pachinko ball flowing down can pass. Below the outlet 2, a drop restriction mechanism 1 </ b> E is provided on the lower surface of the game medium return passage 3. The drop limiting mechanism 1E is provided with a propeller E5 on a rotary shaft E4 that is rotationally driven and decelerated via a reduction gear box E3 via a drive shaft E2 from a motor E1 provided at the downstream end of the game medium return passage 3. It becomes. When the propeller E5 rotates, it hits a pachinko ball that falls from the exit 3 and blows it in various directions.
