  The main configuration of the center accessory 100 will be described with reference to the perspective view of FIG. 3 and the exploded perspective view of FIG. The center accessory 100 is provided with a front frame member 101, which is used for decoration of the accessory itself. A protective transparent plate 109 is disposed between the front frame member 101 and the image display device 9 to protect the liquid crystal panel of the image display device. A right channel 103 and a left channel 104 are connected to the left and right central portions of the front frame member 101. A stage member 110 is attached to the lower part of the front frame member 101, and the sorting device 120 is accommodated in the stage member 110 so as to be swingable.

  In the center of the stage member 110, there is provided a stage lower chamber 115 which is open on the upper surface and the front surface and surrounded by walls on all sides, and is provided with a stage guide plate 116 and a stage guide wall 114. In the stage lower chamber 115 defined by the stage guide wall portion 114, the channel located in the center is the easy winning channel 117, and the channels arranged on the left and right of the easy winning channel 117 are the difficult winning channel 118. . In FIG. 3, the stage front plate 110 f is removed in order to facilitate the understanding of the configuration of the stage lower chamber 115.

  The game balls flowing down the game area 6 enter from the right entrance 103 i of the right channel 103 or the left entrance 104 i of the left channel 104 provided on the left and right of the center accessory 100. A game ball that rolls in the right channel 103 and the left channel 104 appears on the stage surface 111 of the stage member 110 from the right stage hole 103h or the left stage hole 104h. The game ball rolls from the stage surface 111 to the swing channel 123 provided in the sorting device 120. Alternatively, it falls into the gap (gap width W) between the stage surface 111 and the swing channel 123 (see FIGS. 9 and 10).

  When the game ball that has flowed into the stage lower chamber 115 is guided to the stage guide wall 114 and passes through the easy winning path 117, as is obvious from FIG. 1, there is a start winning opening 10 (winning apparatus) immediately below it. It is easy to win game balls. In contrast, when the game ball flowing down to the stage lower chamber 115 passes through the difficult-to-win channel 118 due to the resistance of the stage guide wall 114, it is easy to come off from the start winning port 10 (winning device). It becomes more difficult to win a game ball than the easy flow path 117. A stage guide plate 116 is placed immediately above the stage guide wall 114 to prevent an inadvertent entry of the game ball into the easy winning winning flow path 117.

  A swing shaft 119 is provided at the upper end of the sorting device 120 and is inserted into the shaft hole 102o of the bearing member 102 shown in FIG. A screw J is inserted into and fixed to the shaft hole 119o (see FIG. 5) of the swing shaft portion 119. Naturally, the inner diameter of the shaft hole 102o is larger than that of the swing shaft portion 119, and can be easily swinged. In addition to the structure that supports the shaft as shown in the figure, a suitable bearing can be provided on the upper end of the sorting device 120 and can be swung.

  As shown in FIGS. 9 and 11, which will be described later, the state of swinging of the sorting device 120 is an arc-shaped swinging motion with the swinging shaft portion 119 as the center of a circle. Particularly in the present embodiment, when the oscillating channel 123 of the sorting device 120 is not in the oscillating state (when in the stationary state), the first position (see FIG. 9) is used. The second position (see FIG. 11) is when 123 is in a swinging state (when it is rotated from a position in a stationary state). That is, the swing channel 123 repeats the left and right movements (that is, swing) on the game board 3 to the left second position, the first position, and the right second position.

  A stage right wall 113R and a stage left wall 113L that form the stage lower chamber 115 are used as swing restriction portions that restrict the swing of the swing channel 123 of the sorting device 120 by a predetermined angle (angle swinging in the left-right direction). Applicable. When swinging, one side 123R (flow path right end) of the swing flow path 123 shown in FIGS. 5, 6 and the like described later is the stage right wall 113R, and the other side 123L (flow path left end) is the stage left wall 113L. Therefore, the swing angle is restricted. In the figure, reference numeral 113B denotes a stage rear wall. Here, in place of the configuration of the embodiment, although not illustrated, an appropriate plate-like object is provided in the vicinity of the shaft hole 102o of the bearing member 102, and the edge in the vicinity of the swinging shaft portion 119 of the sorting device 120 is a plate-like object. It can also be contacted. Since the swing restricting portion is provided in this way, the swing of the swing channel 123 of the sorting device 120 is within a certain range, and irregular swing is avoided as much as possible, and the swing amount can be easily predicted by the player. It becomes.

  Further, stabilizing plates 121 are provided on the left and right of the lower part of the sorting device 120. Stabilizing plate 121 enters (is loosely inserted) into stage groove 112 provided on stage surface 111 of stage member 110 with a sufficient gap. Therefore, as can be understood from the direction in which the stage groove 112 and the stabilization plate 121 shown in FIGS. 3 and 4 are formed, the sorting device 120 does not float from the game board 3 side when swinging.

  Next, the distribution device 120 will be described with reference to FIG. As described above, in the sorting device 120, the swing shaft portion 119 is the center of the arc-shaped swing motion. Most of the sorting device 120 includes a main body portion 122 having a substantially triangular shape. As is obvious from FIG. 1 and the like, the sorting device 120 is pivotally supported on the front surface of the image display device 9 and does not affect the visibility of the display image. Therefore, the sorting device 120 is formed from an appropriate transparent resin material.

  The oscillating flow path 123 provided at the lowermost part of the main body portion 122 is formed at a substantially right angle to the main body portion 122. Stabilizing plates 121 are provided on the left and right of the lower portion of the main body 122. The function of the stabilizer is as described above. Guide holes 125 are provided at two locations on the left and right sides where the main body 122, the stabilizer plate 121, and the swing channel 123 are connected, and a game ball falls on the front side (player side) of the swing channel 123. A possible drop port 124 is provided.

  A weight 140 is provided on the lower surface side of the oscillating flow path 123, particularly in the vicinity of the dropping port 124. The weight 140 can be adjusted in weight by replacement as appropriate. The weight is adjusted in consideration of the speed at which the sorting device 120 swings, the pressure received from the rolling game ball, and the like. Therefore, the degree to which the oscillating flow path becomes the second position is also changed.

  In the oscillating channel 123 of the embodiment, the right side is the one side 123R (channel right end) of the oscillating channel, and the left side is the other side 123L (channel left end) of the oscillating channel. The relationship between the one side and the other side of the oscillating channel 123 is to distinguish the left and right ends of the oscillating channel 123 for convenience of explanation, and one side is the channel left end and the other side is the channel right end. There is also a possibility. Small piece-like restricting portions 126 are provided upright on one side 123R (flow channel right end) and the other side 123L (flow channel left end). On the inner side of the restricting portion 126 (near the center of the oscillating flow path 123), an inclined portion 127 that is gently inclined toward the induction port 125 is provided. The inclined portion 127 is connected to the induction port 125 through the oscillating flow channel 123. ing.

  In the figure, the standing position of the restricting portion 126 is closer to the back of the swing channel 123 (closer to the side closer to the main body portion 122), and is not provided on the front side (player side) of the swing channel 123. . That is, among the game balls that have been rolled from the stage surface 111 to the swing channel 123, only some of the game balls roll with the assistance of the restricting portion 126 and roll on the inclined portion 127. Can be reached. That is, the accuracy of guiding the game ball to the guide port 125 is increased. The restricting portion 126 and the inclined portion 127 serve as a game ball guiding portion 128.

  Further, the configuration of the oscillating channel 123 will be described in more detail with reference to FIGS. As shown in FIG. 6, the swing channel 123 is divided into a first guide channel 131 and a second guide channel 132. The second guide channel 132 and the first guide channel 131 are arranged in parallel from the front side (see FIG. 1) to the back side (see FIG. 2) of the ball game machine 1. Yes. FIG. 7 shows an outline of the rocking flow path 123 cut at the center position in the left-right direction. As can be understood from the drawing, in the oscillating channel 123, the first guide channel 131 is inclined (θ) toward the main body part 122 side (the right side in the drawing) as compared with the second guide channel 132. . The second guide channel 132 itself is also inclined (φ) from the back of the ball game machine toward the front (left side of the page).

  FIG. 8 corresponds to a partially enlarged front view of the oscillating channel 123. In the illustrated oscillating flow path 123, a slope 130 having a height difference dH is formed between one side 123R (flow path right end) and the other side 123L (flow path left end). The shape of the slope 130 is a substantially arc shape with the same left and right. In particular, when the swing channel 123 is in the vertical position of the sorting device 120, it is the first position (see FIG. 9), and the game ball can roll on the slope 130. A drop opening 124 that facilitates guiding the game ball to the difficult-to-win channel is provided in the second guiding channel 132 (see FIGS. 6 and 7).

  More specifically, the inclined surface 130 of the oscillating channel 123 has an inclined surface portion 130R (right inclined surface portion) that descends from one side 123R (channel right end) of the oscillating channel 123 toward the center of the oscillating channel. And a slope portion 130L (left slope portion) descending from the other side 123L (left end of the passage) toward the center of the swing passage (see FIG. 6). The right slope portion 130R and the left slope portion 130L are connected by a joining portion 135 having a height difference dH lower than the one side 123R (flow channel right end) and the other side 123L (flow channel left end). When the swing channel 123 is in the first position, the game ball can be guided to the junction 135 of the swing channel 123 (slope 130). In addition, when the drop port 124 is provided in the merge portion 135 and the swing channel 123 is in the first position, the merge portion 135 including the drop port 124 is the lowest point of the swing channel 123. That is, it is obvious from the height difference dH between the one side 123R (flow channel right end) and the other side 123L (flow channel left end) (see FIGS. 6 and 8).

  The first position of the swing channel and the difficult-to-win channel in the ball game machine of the embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. As shown in FIG. 9, the first position of the swing channel is the swing position of the sorting device 120 in which the swing shaft portion 119, the drop port 124, and the start winning port 10 (not shown) are arranged on the same straight line. In FIG. 9, the stabilizing plate of the sorting device 120 is omitted.

  The game ball that rolls on the stage surface 111 of the stage member 110 flows down to the swing channel 123 and rolls on the slope 130 at the swing timing of the sorting device 120. At this time, as can be understood from FIG. 8 and the like, the height difference dH leads to the central portion (junction portion 135) of the slope 130 and falls from the drop port 124 of the second guide channel 132 (FIG. 10A). (See schematic top view). Since the stage guide plate 116 has a substantially mountain shape formed by attaching triangles (see FIG. 9), the game ball P1 is shaken off to either the left or right. The dropped game ball P1 rolls as it is in the difficult-to-win prize flow path 118 defined by the stage guide wall 114 in the stage lower chamber 115 and leaves the center accessory 100 (schematic cross-sectional view in FIG. 10B). reference). The trajectory R1 of the game ball P1 differs from the flow path to the start winning port 10 (winning device) shown in FIG.

  Alternatively, as can be understood from FIGS. 9 and 10, at the first position, there is a gap of width W between the stage left wall 113 </ b> L, the stage right wall 113 </ b> R, and the swing channel 123 of the sorting device 120. It is formed. This width W is slightly larger than the diameter of the game ball. Therefore, the game ball that rolls on the stage surface 111 of the stage member 110 falls from the gap of the width W (illustrated as the game ball P2) unless it reaches the swing passage 123. The game ball P2 falls into the stage lower chamber 115 as it is, rolls as it is in the difficult-to-win channel 118 delimited by the stage guide wall 114, and leaves the center object 100. Unlike the flow path to the start winning opening 10 (winning device) shown in FIG. 1, the trajectory R2 of the game ball P2 is almost impossible to win the game ball.

  The second position of the swing channel and the easy winning channel in the ball game machine of the embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. As shown in FIG. 11, the second position of the oscillating flow path is a oscillating position where the drop port 124 is biased to either the left or right from a straight line connecting the oscillating shaft portion 119 and the start winning port 10 (not shown). is there. Also in FIG. 11, the stabilizing plate of the sorting device 120 is omitted.

  With respect to the second position of the oscillating channel, either one side or the other side of the oscillating channel is set lower than the drop port. In particular, according to the example of FIG. 12, the other side 123 </ b> L (the left end of the flow path) is made lower than the drop port 124 by the height difference dL. Accordingly, among the game balls that roll on the slope 130 of the swing flow path 123, some game balls roll on the first guide path 131 from the one side 123R (flow path right end) to the other side 123L (flow path left end). It becomes possible to do. Therefore, by contacting the regulating portion 126, the inclined portion 127 can roll and reach the guide port 125.

  The game ball that rolls on the stage surface 111 of the stage member 110 flows down to the swing channel 123 and rolls on the slope 130 at the swing timing of the sorting device 120. At this time, as understood from FIG. 12, it is guided to one side or the other side of the oscillating flow path (the other side 123L (the left end of the flow path) in the figure) and passes through the guide port 125 (as shown in FIG. 13A). (See schematic top view). It falls into the stage lower chamber 115 defined by the sorting device 120 and the stage rear wall 113B. The game ball P3 is guided by the stage guide wall 114 and falls downward from the easy-to-win channel 117 (see the schematic cross-sectional view of FIG. 13B). Therefore, the trajectory R3 of the game ball P3 coincides with the flow path to the start winning port 10 (winning device) shown in FIG. 1, and the game ball can be won.

  Even when the swing channel is at the second position, when the game ball rolls on the second guide channel 132, it is easy to be guided to the drop port 124 as is apparent from FIG. The game ball P4 is shaken off to the left or right by the stage guide plate 116. The dropped game ball P4 rolls as it is through the difficult-to-win channel 118 delimited by the stage guiding wall 114 in the stage lower chamber 115, and leaves the center accessory 100 (see FIG. 11). As a result, the trajectory R4 of the game ball P4 differs from the flow path to the start winning port 10 (winning device) shown in FIG.

  As described above in detail, when the oscillating channel 123 is in the second position, it is relatively closer to one side of the oscillating channel or the other side than when the oscillating channel 123 is in the first position. The game ball is easily guided. The game ball can roll into the guide port 125 by the guide portion 128 (the restricting portion 126 and the inclined portion 127) while passing through the first guide flow path 131, and is guided to the easy winning area 117. Therefore, when the swing channel 123 is in the second position, winning to the winning device (start winning port 10) is likely to occur, so that a sense of expectation for gaming benefits such as prize balls increases. A novel interest can be given.

  The ball game machine of the present invention is not necessarily limited to the configuration described as the above embodiment. Needless to say, various modifications can be made without departing from the scope of the invention.

  For example, the movement of the sorting device is a substantially arc-shaped swing on the surface of the game board, but can also be a swing in the depth direction of the game board. Further, the slope of the oscillating channel is not limited to the arc shape shown in the figure, but can be a V-shaped inclined plane. The slope on one side and the slope on the other side are curved surfaces. You may make it mutually different like a plane. Furthermore, the winning device provided immediately below the distribution device may be a large winning port, a passing gate, or the like in addition to the starting winning port of the embodiment. In addition, although the sorting device swings when the game ball drops, it can be forcibly rocked by arranging an appropriate motor.

  Although the embodiment described above has been illustrated and described using a pachinko game machine, it is of course applicable to various ball game machines such as an arrange ball game machine.
