Description

【０００１】
【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は、例えばパチンコ遊技機等の遊技機に備えられる遊技機用構造物に関し、特に、開閉用可動手段において遊技球が詰まった状態を防止できる遊技機用構造物に関するものである。
【０００２】
【従来の技術】
遊技機の一例としてのパチンコ遊技機の場合、遊技者にとって不利な第１状態と、遊技者にとって有利な第２状態に変化可能となる遊技機用構造物が、遊技盤上に配設されている。例えば、左右一対の開閉用可動手段を備える遊技機用構造物の場合、開閉用可動手段が開くように可動することにより、パチンコ球が入賞しやすくなる状態になるのに対し、開閉用可動手段が閉じるように可動することにより、パチンコ球が入賞しにくくなる状態となる。
このように入賞口が開いた状態から閉じた状態となるように、左右一対の開閉用可動手段が可動するときに、左右一対の開閉用可動手段の先端の間に、偶然にパチンコ球が入り、パチンコ球が左右一対の開閉用可動手段で挟まれた状態となる、いわゆる球噛み状態が起こることがある。
また、開閉式の羽根部材を役物本体に備える役物の場合であっても、羽根部材を開いた状態から閉じる時に、閉まりかかった羽根部材と役物本体との間にパチンコ球が挟まり、羽根部材の開閉に支障が生じることがあって、遊技が中断することがあった。
【０００３】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
しかし、このような開閉用羽根部材等を含む開閉用可動手段において、前記球噛み状態等のパチンコ球が詰まって、開閉に支障が生じる状態が起こると、遊技が中断することになるので、遊技を行っている遊技者の興趣が殺がれるという問題が生じることになる。
【０００４】
本発明は、前記従来の問題点を解消するためになされたものであり、開閉用可動手段において遊技球が詰まった状態をできるだけ防止することができる遊技機用構造物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】
前記目的を達成するため請求項１に係る発明によれば、遊技領域に配置された開閉用可動手段を可動させて、遊技球の通過状態、または遊技球の不通過状態を形成する遊技機用構造物において、前記開閉用可動手段は回転可能に支持される基部と、該基部を回転中心として回転可能な先端部とを有し、前記開閉用可動手段における遊技球が当たる部分に遊技球を弾く弾性部材を設け、前記弾性部材は板状のバネ部材からなり、前記弾性部材における前記開閉用可動手段の前記基部側の一端は前記開閉用可動手段に対して固定される固定端であり、前記弾性部材における前記開閉用可動手段の前記先端側の他端は前記開閉用可動手段に対して固定されない自由端であることを特徴とする。
それにより、開閉用可動手段に遊技球が当たった際に、弾性部材が遊技球を開閉用可動手段から離れるように弾くことになる。そのため、開閉用可動手段に遊技球が接触しても、開閉用可動手段において遊技球が詰まるといった状態が生じにくく、遊技者が遊技を行っている際に、遊技が中断することが少ない。
ここで、「開閉用可動手段」は、例えば、開閉用球受け部材、開閉用羽根部材、大入賞口用の開閉扉等の可動部材を含むものであって、開閉用可動手段が開閉することによって、遊技球が入賞しやすい状態（開いた状態）と、遊技球が入賞しにくい状態（閉じた状態）とのいずれかの状態になる。
この場合、開閉用可動手段は、その基部を回転中心として、遊技球が通過する側である先端部を回転させる構成からなるのが望ましい。
【０００６】
【０００７】
【０００８】
【０００９】
【００１０】
【００１１】
また、遊技機用構造物は、遊技者にとって有利な状態を選択的に形成するため、開閉用可動部材を開閉するものにおいて、開いた開閉用可動部材に遊技球が当たって内部に入った後に、遊技者側から離れる方向に遊技球が進むのを防止する壁部材を遊技機用構造物内部に設け、開いた開閉用可動部材に当たった遊技球を、前記壁部材でもって遮った状態で、下流側に転動させる下流側遊技球通路を、遊技者側に設けるのが望ましい。
それにより、開いた開閉用可動部材に当たって内部に入った遊技球は、遊技機用構造物内部の壁部材によって遮られて、その奥部に行くことがない。そのため、開いた開閉用可動部材に当たって内部に入った遊技球は、遊技者側に設けられた下流側遊技球通路を通って、下流側に向かって転動するので、遊技を行っている遊技者は、遊技球が見やすくなる。この場合、開閉用可動部材に近接した位置に、開いた開閉用可動部材に遊技球が当たった後に、その遊技球を遊技者側に出すための入賞球用出口を設け、入賞球用出口と下流側遊技球通路とを連続させて、入賞球用出口から出た遊技球を下流側に転動させるのが望ましい。
【００１２】
また、遊技者にとって有利な状態を選択的に形成するため、開閉用可動部材を開閉することができる遊技機用構造物において、遊技機用構造物の左右側にそれぞれ配置される左右の開閉用可動部材と、開いた開閉用可動部材に遊技球が当たって内部に入った後に、遊技者側から離れる方向に遊技球が進むのを防止するため、遊技機用構造物内部に配置された壁部材と、左右の開閉用可動部材に隣接し、開いた開閉用可動部材に遊技球が当たった後に、その遊技球を遊技者側に出すための入賞球用出口と、前記入賞球用出口から出た遊技球を下流側に転動させるため、遊技者側に配置される下流側遊技球通路とを備えるのが望ましい。
このように遊技機用構造物の左右側に配置される開閉用可動部材を介して、遊技機用構造物内に入る遊技球は、遊技機用構造物内に入り易くなるが、遊技機用構造物内部の壁部材によって遮られて、その奥部に行くことがない。そして、遊技機用構造物の左右における、いた開閉用可動部材に当たった遊技球は、入賞球用出口から出て、遊技者側に設けられた下流側遊技球通路を通って、下流側に向かって転動するので、遊技球が壁部材の手前側に位置するとともに、遊技機用構造物の遊技者側に位置する。それにより、開閉用可動部材に遊技球が当たって内部に入った後、遊技球は遊技者の見やすい位置において下流側に転動させるため、遊技を行う遊技者は遊技に集中することができる。
【００１３】
また、遊技機用構造物は、左右側にそれぞれ配置される左右の開閉用可動部材と、開いた開閉用可動部材に遊技球が当たって内部に入った後に、遊技者側から離れる方向に遊技球が進むのを防止するため、遊技機用構造物内部に配置された壁部材と、開いた開閉用可動部材に当たった遊技球を貯留させる遊技球貯留部と、左右の開閉用可動部材の間に挟まれ、開いた開閉用可動部材に遊技球が当たった後に、遊技球貯留部に貯留された遊技球を遊技者側に出すための入賞球用出口と、前記入賞球用出口から出た遊技球を下流側に転動させるため、遊技者側に配置される下流側遊技球通路と、前記下流側遊技球通路に沿って配置される入賞検出手段と、入賞検出手段に沿って配置される左右の開閉用可動手段と、前記開閉用可動手段の下方に配置される遊技室と、遊技室に配置される特定入賞口とを備えるのが望ましい。
【００１４】
また、遊技球が、遊技盤に設けられた始動口へ入賞し、役物としての遊技機用構造物内に設けられた特定入賞口へ入賞することにより、特別遊技状態を発生する遊技機において、前記始動口に遊技球が入賞した際、遊技機用構造物の開閉用可動部材を可動させる始動口機能を、所定時間不作動状態に設定し、この不作動時間に該当する場合、その旨を遊技者に報知する報知手段を備えるのが望ましい。それにより、遊技者は、遊技球が始動口に入賞しても、開閉用可動部材を可動させる始動口の機能が作動しない不作動時間中に該当することを、報知手段による報知でもって知ることができる。
【０１５】
【発明の実施の形態】
以下、本発明に係る遊技機について、本発明を具体化した実施形態に基づき図面を参照しつつ詳細に説明する。図１は第１の実施形態に係るパチンコ遊技機１を示した正面図である。図２は第１の実施形態に係るパチンコ遊技機１の遊技盤２を示した正面図である。
図１に示すパチンコ遊技機１は、いわゆる第二種パチンコ機であって、パチンコ遊技機１の遊技盤２上に、後述する始動口、可動入賞装置等を配設しているが、図１では省略している。
その遊技盤２の下方には、賞球払出装置（図示せず）を介して、払い出される賞球を受ける上皿Ｐ３がプレートＰ４に配設され、このプレートＰ４は、音出力手段として機能するスピーカ３ａを内蔵している。その上皿Ｐ３の下方には、上皿Ｐ３から溢れたパチンコ球を受ける下皿Ｐ５が配設されている。また、プレートＰ４の下方には、発射装置（図示せず）用の操作ハンドルＰ６が設けられており、上皿Ｐ３上のパチンコ球が、上皿Ｐ３に連通する球送り機構（図示せず）を介して、発射装置へ送られるように構成されている。
【００１６】
また、遊技盤２の両肩部には、賞球払い出し表示用及び球切れ表示用ランプＰ１０が設けられている。この遊技盤２の前側は、鋼板やステンレス等の金属製のガラス扉Ｐ９により覆われている。このガラス扉Ｐ９は、枠体の前側の位置で、ヒンジ部材等を介して、開閉自在となる内枠に取り付けられている。また、ガラス扉Ｐ９には、開口部を有する鋼板やステンレス等の金属製のガラス保持枠が、スポット溶接等により固着されている。そのため、遊技者はガラス保持枠に装着された２枚のガラスを通して、遊技盤２上の遊技領域を見ることができる。また、ガラス扉Ｐ９の上部には、遊技中のエラーを表示するエラー表示ランプＰ７や、「当たり」を表示する当たり表示ランプＰ８が取り付けられている。
【００１７】
次に、この実施形態に係る遊技盤２の遊技領域６に設けられた役物等について、図２に基づき詳細に説明する。
遊技領域６のほぼ中央には、遊技機用構造物としての可動入賞装置７が配置されている。この可動入賞装置７の左右には、電飾ランプ８、９が設けられている。その可動入賞装置７と電飾ランプ８、９との間の上方には、入賞口１０、１１が設けられており、更に、入賞口１０、１１の下方であって、電飾ランプ８、９の左右側方には、入賞口１２、１３が設けられている。
その入賞口１２、１３及び可動入賞装置７の下方には、始動口部材１４が設置されており、この始動口部材１４に中始動口１４Ａ、左始動口１４Ｂ及び右始動口１４Ｃが設けられている。
【００１８】
これら中始動口１４Ａ、左始動口１４Ｂ及び右始動口１４Ｃにパチンコ球が入賞すると、所定数の賞球を払い出すと共に、可動入賞装置７の大入賞口１５の開閉扉１６Ａ、１６Ｂを所定回数だけ開閉する。例えば、中始動口１４Ａにパチンコ球が入賞すると、一定時間のインターバル（例えば１秒間）を置いた後に、開閉扉１６Ａ、１６Ｂが、所定時間（例えば０．４秒間の２回で０．８秒間）開放する。また、左始動口１４Ｂ及び右始動口１４Ｃに、パチンコ球が入賞すると、一定時間のインターバル（例えば１秒間）を置いた後に、開閉扉１６Ａ、１６Ｂが、所定時間（例えば０．５秒間）だけ１回開放する。
【００１９】
また、中始動口１４Ａと左始動口１４Ｂとの間には、左側の表示用ＬＥＤ１４Ｄが配設されており、また、中始動口１４Ａと右始動口１４Ｃとの間には、右側の表示用ＬＥＤ１４Ｅが配設されている。そして、表示用ＬＥＤ１４Ｄ及び表示用ＬＥＤ１４Ｅは、左始動口１４Ｂ及び右始動口１４Ｃに、パチンコ球が入賞した場合、一定時間のインターバル（例えば１秒間）を置いた後に、開閉扉１６Ａ、１６Ｂが所定時間（例えば０．５秒間）だけ開放するに際し、左始動口１４Ｂ及び右始動口１４Ｃに、パチンコ球の入賞直後から、所定時間（１．５秒間、すなわち、０．５秒間と１秒間との合計時間分）、点灯するように構成されている。
また、表示用ＬＥＤ１４Ｄ及び表示用ＬＥＤ１４Ｅは、中始動口１４Ａに、パチンコ球が入賞した場合、一定時間のインターバル（例えば１秒間）を置いた後に、開閉扉１６Ａ、１６Ｂが所定時間（例えば０．４秒間の２回で０．８秒間）だけ開放するに際し、パチンコ球の入賞直後から、所定時間（１．８秒間、すなわち、１秒間と０．８秒間との合計時間分）、点灯するように構成されている。
【００２０】
これは、中始動口１４Ａ、左始動口１４Ｂ及び右始動口１４Ｃにパチンコ球が入賞した際、可動入賞装置７（役物）内の開閉扉１６Ａ、１６Ｂ（開閉用可動部材）を可動させる中始動口１４Ａ、左始動口１４Ｂ及び右始動口１４Ｃの機能が作動しない不作動状態に所定時間だけ設定するので、この不作動時間に該当する場合、表示用ＬＥＤ１４Ｄ及び表示用ＬＥＤ１４Ｅの点灯でもって、その旨を遊技者に報知するためである。そして、「始動口機能を不作動状態にする」とは、不作動時間に該当する場合、パチンコ球が始動口１４、１４Ｂ、１４Ｃに入賞しても、大入賞口１５用の開閉扉１６Ａ、１６Ｂが可動しない状態、すなわち、大入賞口１５用の開閉扉１６Ａ、１６Ｂが閉じたままの状態にすることをいう。そのため、パチンコ球が始動口１４Ａ、１４Ｂ、１４Ｃに入賞しても、開閉扉１６Ａ、１６Ｂが開かない不作動時間の場合は、例えば始動口１４Ａ、１４Ｂ、１４Ｃ以外の入賞口へ、パチンコ球が入賞するように、発射装置の強さ加減を調整して、パチンコ球を発射するのが良いことが分かるので、遊技者は、現在の遊技状態を把握して、例えばパチンコ球の発射装置の発射強さを調整しながら、その発射装置のハンドル等を適宜操作でき、状況に応じた遊技戦略を実行することができる。
【００２１】
その後、始動口機能が作動状態に戻ると、表示用ＬＥＤ１４Ｄ及び表示用ＬＥＤ１４Ｅが消灯するので、遊技者はその旨を把握することができる。
このように表示用ＬＥＤ１４Ｄ及び表示用ＬＥＤ１４Ｅ（報知手段）を、中始動口１４Ａ、左始動口１４Ｂ及び右始動口１４Ｃ（始動口）の近傍の見やすい位置に配置したことにより、始動口の機能と不作動時間との関係が、視覚的に分かりやすい。尚、表示用ＬＥＤ１４Ｄ、１４Ｅ以外に、遊技盤２の周囲に設けられた表示ランプＰ８等の表示手段でもって、不作動時間に該当する旨を報知しても良い。
【００２２】
次に、可動入賞装置７について、図３乃至図１０に基づいて説明する。図３は第１の実施形態に係る可動入賞装置７を拡大して示す正面図であって、開閉扉１６Ａ、１６Ｂでもって、大入賞口１５Ａ、１５Ｂが閉じた状態であるとともに、左右の開閉用可動手段１９Ａ、１９Ｂが開いた状態である。図４は、その可動入賞装置７を拡大して示す側面図である。図５は、その可動入賞装置７を拡大して示す平面図である。図６は、可動入賞装置７内部を拡大して示す横断面図であって、開閉扉１６Ａ、１６Ｂでもって、大入賞口１５Ａ、１５Ｂが閉じた状態である。図７は、可動入賞装置７内部を拡大して示す縦断面図であって、開閉扉１６Ａ、１６Ｂでもって、大入賞口１５Ａ、１５Ｂが閉じた状態である。
図８は、第１の実施形態に係る可動入賞装置７を拡大して示す正面図であって、大入賞口１５Ａ、１５Ｂが開いた状態であるとともに、左右の開閉用可動手段１９Ａ、１９Ｂが閉じた状態である。図９は、可動入賞装置７内部を拡大して示す横断面図であって、大入賞口１５Ａ、１５Ｂが開いた状態である。図１０は、可動入賞装置７内部を拡大して示す縦断面図であって、大入賞口１５Ａ、１５Ｂが開いた状態である。
【００２３】
可動入賞装置７の上方構造物７Ａには、図５、図７、及び図１０に示すように、賞球払い出し用の入賞口１７が設けられている。この入賞口１７内にパチンコ球が入賞すると、入賞口スイッチ１７Ａによって、その入賞したパチンコ球が検出されることにより、所定数の賞球が払い出される。
可動入賞装置７の上方構造物７Ａの下方の左右側には、横幅が広くなる左右の大入賞口１５Ａ、１５Ｂが設けられており、これら左右の大入賞口１５Ａ、１５Ｂは、ほぼ長四角形状にそれぞれ形成されている。各大入賞口１５Ａ、１５Ｂの前方には、開閉用可動部材としての開閉扉１６Ａ、１６Ｂが開閉可能に覆われている。この開閉扉１６Ａ、１６Ｂは、可動入賞装置７の裏面側に配設される開閉用ソレノイドＳ１の作動に基づいて、後述の態様で開閉される。そのため、開閉用可動部材として機能する開閉扉１６Ａ、１６Ｂは、可動入賞装置７の上方左右側にそれぞれ配置されることになる。
【００２４】
その大入賞口１５Ａ、１５Ｂの奥部には、可動入賞装置７内の奥部へパチンコ球が進むのを防止するため、壁部材としての壁部Ｂ１が設けられている。この壁部Ｂ１は、大入口１５Ａ、１５Ｂの奥部のみならず、大入賞口１５Ａと大入賞口１５Ｂとの間に位置する、大入賞口１５Ａ、１５Ｂ内に入賞した入賞球の出口となる入賞球用出口１６Ｃの奥部にも設けられており、平板状に立設している。
この場合、可動入賞装置７内部において、壁部Ｂ１は、閉じられた開閉扉１６Ａ、１６Ｂの位置から、パチンコ球２個分程度の長さ（図６に示す長さＬ１）分だけ、可動入賞装置７内部の遊技者側から離れる位置に配置されている。そのため、壁部Ｂ１と、閉じた状態での開閉扉１６Ａ、１６Ｂとの間の底面部Ｂ２は、パチンコ球２個分程度の長さ（奥行き）であって、開閉扉１６Ａ、１６Ｂ及び入賞球用出口１６Ｃの左右方向の長さを有する空間部が形成されるので、この空間部は、開いた開閉扉１６Ａ、１６Ｂの内側に当たったパチンコ球を貯留させる遊技球貯留部として機能する。
そして、閉じられた開閉扉１６Ａ、１６Ｂの位置から、パチンコ球２個分程度の長さ分、遊技者側から離れる位置に壁部Ｂ１を設ける場合、開閉扉１６Ａ、１６Ｂにパチンコ球が当たった際に、壁部Ｂ１でもって遮られてその奥部に行くことがない。そして、パチンコ球が壁部Ｂ１に当たっても、壁部Ｂ１によって遊技者側に跳ね返されるため、遊技を行っている遊技者は、壁部Ｂ１の手前側に位置するパチンコ球が見やすくなる。
【００２５】
このように開いた開閉扉１６Ａ、１６Ｂの内側に当たったパチンコ球は、壁部Ｂ１に当たって壁部Ｂ１で跳ね返され、大入賞口１５Ａと大入賞口１５Ｂとの間に位置する入賞球用出口１６Ｃ側に寄って、入賞球用出口１６Ｃから遊技者側（前側）に出てくることになるので、入賞球用出口１６Ｃから出たパチンコ球が、可動入賞装置７の遊技者側に配設された下流側パチンコ球通路１８を落下することになる。そのため、閉じた開閉扉１６、１６Ｂに当たったパチンコ球は、可動入賞装置７の遊技者側の下流側パチンコ球通路１８を通ることになるため、遊技を行っている遊技者は、そのパチンコ球が見やすくなる。
尚、壁部Ｂ１の内部には、図６、図７及び図９に示すように、発光手段としての複数の装飾用の発光ダイオードＬＬが内設されており、この発光ダイオードＬＬから発せられた光が、遊技者に向かって発光することになる。
【００２６】
また、この下流側パチンコ球通路１８の下方には、図６及び図９に明示するように、左右の入賞口スイッチ１８Ａ、１８Ｂが設けられている。その下流側パチンコ球通路１８を通るパチンコ球は、入賞口スイッチ１８Ａ、１８Ｂに入賞するので、左右の入賞口スイッチ１８Ａ、１８Ｂが、その入賞したパチンコ球をそれぞれ検出することにより、所定数の賞球が払い出される。
この場合、下流側パチンコ球通路１８の両側部には、図３及び図８に明示するように、遊技者側に突き出る左右の突部Ｔ１が設けられている。そして、上下方向に延設された左右の突部Ｔ１の内側には、開いた開閉扉１６Ａ、１６Ｂの内側に当たって、大入賞口１５Ａ、１５Ｂに入り、入賞球用出口１６Ｃから出たパチンコ球のみが、下流側パチンコ球通路１８を通るようできるので、左右の突部Ｔ１は、遊技盤２の可動入賞装置７の外側から転動したパチンコ球が、左右の下流側パチンコ球通路１８の内側に入るのを防止する。
また、左右の開閉扉１６Ａ、１６Ｂの下流側パチンコ球通路１８の両側には、遊技者側に突き出る左右の突部Ｔ０が設けられており、上下方向に延設された左右の突部Ｔ０は、遊技盤２の可動入賞装置７の外側から転動したパチンコ球が、左右の下流側パチンコ球通路１８の内側に侵入するのを防止する。
【００２７】
また、突部Ｔ１の下方には、下流側パチンコ球通路１８の両側から左右方向に延びるように侵入防止用壁部Ｔ２が設けられており、遊技盤２の可動入賞装置７の外側から転動したパチンコ球が、下流側パチンコ球通路１８の下方内側に入るのを防止する。そのため、左右の突部Ｔ０、左右の突部Ｔ１、左右の侵入防止用壁部Ｔ２は、遊技盤２の可動入賞装置７の外側から転動したパチンコ球が、下流側パチンコ球通路１８に侵入するのを防止するので、開いた開閉扉１６Ａ、１６Ｂの内側に当たって、大入賞口１５Ａ、１５Ｂに入り、入賞球用出口１６Ｃから出たパチンコ球のみが、可動入賞装置７の遊技者側の下流側パチンコ球通路１８を通ることになる。
【００２８】
また、下流側パチンコ球通路１８の左右の入賞口スイッチ１８Ａ、１８Ｂの下方には、可動入賞装置７の内部構造物としての、左右の開閉用可動手段１９Ａ、１９Ｂが設けられている。左右の開閉用可動手段１９Ａ、１９Ｂは、駆動モータＭ０の作動に基づいて、後述する態様により、選択的に開閉することになる。
そして、左右の開閉用可動手段１９Ａ、１９Ｂが、図８に示すように、相互に閉じた状態では、開閉用可動手段１９Ａ、１９Ｂに当たって止まったパチンコ球は、可動入賞装置７内の中央部に設けられた上方パチンコ球通路２０に導かれることになる。また、左右の開閉用可動手段１９Ａ、１９Ｂが、図３に示すように、相互に開いた状態では、左右の開閉用可動手段１９Ａ、１９Ｂを、通過したパチンコ球は、可動入賞装置７の下方部に設けられた下方パチンコ球通路２１に導かれることになる。
この場合、上方パチンコ球通路２０及び下方パチンコ球通路２１は、図７及び図１０に示すように、ともに可動入賞装置７内部に設けられた遊技室２２と連通しており、この遊技室２２の奥部には、大当たりを発生させるＶゾーン用収納部２３が設けられている。
そして、上方パチンコ球通路２０が、遊技室２２及び下方パチンコ球通路２１にべて上方に位置するとともに、奥部に向かって下り勾配となる斜面となっているので、上方パチンコ球通路２０から落下して遊技室２２へ入るパチンコ球は勢いがあり、特定入賞口としての、Ｖゾーン用収納部２３に入り易い。
それに対して、下方パチンコ球通路２１は、上方パチンコ球通路２０に比べて下方に位置するとともに、奥部に向かって上り勾配となる斜面となっているので、下方パチンコ球通路２１を介して遊技室２２へ入るパチンコ球は、それほど勢いが無く、Ｖゾーン用収納部２３に入りにくい。
【００２９】
それにより、左右の開閉用可動手段１９Ａ、１９Ｂが閉じた場合に当たって止まったパチンコ球は、上方パチンコ球通路２０に導かれるので、結果的に、大当たりを発生させ易いことになる。
このようにパチンコ球が、遊技領域６に設けられた中始動口１４Ａ、左始動口１４Ｂ及び右始動口１４Ｃへ入賞し、更に、可動入賞装置７（遊技機用構造物）内に設けられたＶゾーン用収納部２３（特定入賞口）へ入賞することにより特別遊技状態を発生し、多数のパチンコ球が入賞可能となって、開閉扉１６Ａ、１６Ｂが開いた状態と閉じた状態と間の変化が、１ラウンドとして、３０秒間に１５回程度生じるので、多くの賞球が払い出されて、遊技者にとって特に有利な特別遊技状態（大当たり）になりやすくなる。
従って、遊技球の通路としての下流側パチンコ球通路１８の左右側に配置された開閉用可動手段１９Ａ、１９Ｂは、遊技者にとって有利な特別遊技状態（大当たり）を発生させるか否かの決定に関与する役割を果たすことなる。
また、Ｖゾーン用収納部２３の下方には、後方パチンコ球排出口２４が設けらており、Ｖゾーン用収納部２３は、遊技室２２内のパチンコ球を後方パチンコ球排出口２４に落下させることができるので、Ｖゾーン用収納部２３を通ったパチンコ球が、後方パチンコ球排出口２４の底部に形成された斜面に沿って、前方に向かって案内される。
また、遊技室２２の前方には、前方パチンコ球排出口２５が設けられており、遊技室２２の底部は、前方パチンコ球排出口２５に向かって、下り勾配となる斜面となっているので、遊技室２２の底部に沿って落下したパチンコ球は、Ｖゾーン用収納部２３を通らない場合、前方パチンコ球排出口２５に落下することになる。

次に、開閉扉１６Ａ、１６Ｂを開閉させる開閉機構ＳＭの動作態様について説明する。
可動入賞装置７の裏面側には、図４乃至図７、図９及び図１０に示すように、開閉機構ＳＭが設けられており、開閉機構ＳＭは、開閉用ソレノイドＳ１、取り付け部材Ｓ３、軸部材Ｓ４、連結部材Ｓ５、軸部材Ｓ６、扇形の歯車Ｓ７及び扇形の歯車Ｓ８等を備えている。
可動入賞装置７の裏面側には、図６及び図９に示すように、左右に並ぶ開閉用ソレノイドＳ１が配設されている。それぞれの開閉用ソレノイドＳ１は、開閉機構ＳＭを作動させるため、プランジャＳ２をそれぞれ伸縮させる。各プランジャＳ２の先端には、軸部材Ｓ４を移動させるための、取り付け部材Ｓ３がそれぞれ取り付けられている。その取り付け部材Ｓ３は、図７及び図１０に示すように、プランジャＳ２の伸縮に基づき、左右方向（図６及び図９）に延設された軸部材Ｓ４を前後に移動できる。
【００３１】
また、図６及び図９に示す軸部材Ｓ４の左右方向の中央には、軸部材Ｓ６と連結させるための、連結部材Ｓ５が取り付けられている。この連結部材Ｓ５は、軸部材Ｓ４の前後動に基づき、図７及び図１０に示すように、左右方向に延設された軸部材Ｓ６を時計回りまたは反時計回り方向に回動させることができる。その軸部材Ｓ６の左右方向の両端には、扇形の歯車Ｓ７がそれぞれ取り付けられており、この扇形の歯車Ｓ７は、軸部材Ｓ６の回動に基づき、軸部材Ｓ６と一体的に時計回りまたは反時計回り方向に回動させることができる。
扇形の歯車Ｓ７は、図４、図６及び図９に示すように、開閉扉１６Ａ、１６Ｂ側の扇形の歯車Ｓ８と相互に歯合しており、扇形の歯車Ｓ８が、開閉扉１６Ａ、１６Ｂの下方基部と連結しているので、扇形の歯車Ｓ８は、扇形の歯車Ｓ７の回動に基づき、反時計回りまたは時計回り方向に回動させられ、開閉扉１６Ａ、１６Ｂは、扇形の歯車Ｓ８の回動に基づき、開閉するように回動させられることになる。
【００３２】
更に詳細には、開閉用ソレノイドＳ１のそれぞれの作動に基づいて、そのプランジャＳ２が、開閉扉１６Ａ、１６Ｂに向かって突き出る（または突き出ない位置に戻る）と、プランジャＳ２の先端の連結部材Ｓ３も、開閉扉１６Ａ、１６Ｂに向かって突き出る（または突き出ない位置に戻る）ので、図７及び図１０に示すように、軸部材Ｓ４が反時計回り方向（時計回り方向）に回転することになる。そして、このような軸部材Ｓ４の回転に伴い、連結部材Ｓ５が反時計回り方向（時計回り方向）に回転し、軸部材Ｓ６を反時計回り方向（時計回り方向）に回転させることになるので、軸部材Ｓ６と一体的に回転する扇形の歯車Ｓ７は、反時計回り方向（時計回り方向）に回転することになる。そして、扇形の歯車Ｓ８は、扇形の歯車Ｓ７の回転に伴い、時計回り方向（反時計回り方向）に回転し、開閉扉１６Ａ、１６Ｂの下方基部を時計回り方向（反時計回り方向）に回転させる。
それにより、大入賞口１５Ａ、１５Ｂの前方を開閉可能に覆う開閉扉１６Ａ、１６Ｂは、可動入賞装置７の裏面側に配設される開閉用ソレノイドＳ１の作動に基づいて、開閉扉１６Ａ、１６Ｂの下方基部を回転中心として開閉されるので、開閉機構ＳＭは、所定のタイミングで開閉用ソレノイドＳ１を作動させることにより、開閉扉１６Ａ、１６Ｂは、所定のタイミングで開閉することになる。
【００３３】
次に、左右の開閉用可動手段１９Ａ、１９Ｂを開閉させる開閉機構ＭＭの動作態様について、図１１乃至図１８に基づいて、詳細に説明する。
図１１は、第１の実施形態に係る可動入賞装置７の左右の開閉用可動手段１９Ａ、１９Ｂを開閉する開閉機構ＭＭを拡大して示す正面図であり、左右の開閉用可動手段１９Ａ、１９Ｂが相互に閉じた状態を示す。図１２は、同開閉機構ＭＭを拡大して示す平面図であり、左右の開閉用可動手段１９Ａ、１９Ｂが相互に閉じた状態を示す。図１３は、同開閉機構ＭＭを拡大して示す側面図であり、左右の開閉用可動手段１９Ａ、１９Ｂが相互に閉じた状態を示す。図１４は、同開閉機構ＭＭを拡大して示す裏面図であり、左右の開閉用可動手段１９Ａ、１９Ｂが相互に閉じた状態を示す。
図１５は、同開閉機構ＭＭを拡大して示す正面図であり、左右の開閉用可動手段１９Ａ、１９Ｂが相互に開いた状態を示す。図１６は、同開閉機構ＭＭを拡大して示す平面図であり、左右の開閉用可動手段１９Ａ、１９Ｂが相互に開いた状態を示す。図１７は、同開閉機構ＭＭを拡大して示す側面図であり、左右の開閉用可動手段１９Ａ、１９Ｂが相互に開いた状態を示す。図１８は、同開閉機構ＭＭを拡大して示す裏面図であり、左右の開閉用可動手段１９Ａ、１９Ｂが相互に開いた状態を示す。図１９は、左右の開閉用可動手段１９Ａ、１９Ｂ及び開閉用可動手段１９Ａ、１９Ｂに左右の板バネＱ１、Ｑ２をそれぞれ取り付ける状態を分解して示す拡大裏面図である。図２０は、左右の開閉用可動手段１９Ａ、１９Ｂに左右の板バネＱ１、Ｑ２を取り付けた状態を拡大して示す裏面図である。図２１は、左右の開閉用可動手段１９Ａ、１９Ｂ及び開閉用可動手段１９Ａ、１９Ｂに板バネＱ１、Ｑ２を取り付ける状態を分解して示す拡大平面図である。
【００３４】
この場合、左右の開閉用可動手段１９Ａ、１９Ｂは、可動入賞装置７の裏面側に配設される開閉機構ＭＭの作動に基づいて、選択的に開閉することになる。その開閉機構ＭＭは、図１２及び図１３に示すように、駆動モータＭ０、エンコーダ用鍔部Ｍ２、エンコーダ用検出部Ｍ２ａ、取り付け部材Ｍ３、クランク部Ｍ４、案内ピンＭ５、摺動ピンＭ６Ａ、Ｍ６Ｂ、左右の回転用可動部Ｍ７Ａ、Ｍ７Ｂ、左右の軸部Ｍ８Ａ、Ｍ８Ｂ及び左右の開閉用可動手段１９Ａ、１９Ｂ等を備えている。
開閉機構ＭＭは、モータ軸Ｍ１を有する駆動モータＭ０を備えており、このモータ軸Ｍ１の前方側には、エンコーダ用鍔部Ｍ２が、取り付け部材Ｍ３を介して取り付けられている。このエンコーダ用鍔部Ｍ２は、半月板の形状をなしており、モータ軸Ｍ１の回転に伴って、モータ軸Ｍ１と一体的に回転する。
エンコーダ用鍔部Ｍ２の上方には、エンコーダ用検出部Ｍ２ａが配置されており、このエンコーダ用検出部Ｍ２ａは、エンコーダ用鍔部Ｍ２の存在及び不存在を検出することにより、エンコーダ用信号を出力でき、このエンコーダ用信号は、回転動作用の駆動モータＭ０の制御のために使用されることになる。
【００３５】
その取り付け部材Ｍ３の前方側には、図１１に示すように、Ｈ型形状のクランク部Ｍ４が取り付けられている。このクランク部Ｍ４は、４個の上下方向に穿設された上下用溝部Ｍ４ａと、２個の左右方向に穿設された左右用溝部Ｍ４ｂとを備えている。これら上下用溝部Ｍ４ａには、４本の案内ピンＭ５がはめ込まれ、また、２個の左右用溝部Ｍ４ｂには、２本の摺動ピンＭ６Ａ、Ｍ６Ｂがはめ込まれている。そのため、モータ軸Ｍ１の回転に伴って、クランク部Ｍ４が上下に揺動する際に、４個の溝部Ｍ４ａにはめ込まれた４本の案内ピンＭ５が、クランク部Ｍ４の上下動が垂直方向となるように規制する場合、左右用溝部Ｍ４ｂにはめ込まれた左右の摺動ピンＭ６Ａ、Ｍ６Ｂは、左右用溝部Ｍ４ｂの上下動に基づいて、上下に揺動することになる。
【００３６】
そして、左右の摺動ピンＭ６Ａ、Ｍ６Ｂには、図１１及び図１２に示すように、左右の回転用可動部Ｍ７Ａ、Ｍ７Ｂの一端が取り付けられており、左右の回転用可動部Ｍ７Ａ、Ｍ７Ｂの他端には、左右の軸部Ｍ８Ａ、Ｍ８Ｂの後方部がそれぞれ取り付けられている。そのため、クランク部Ｍ４及び左右の摺動ピンＭ６Ａ、Ｍ６Ｂの上下の揺動に伴って、左右の回転用可動部Ｍ７Ａ、Ｍ７Ｂの一端が上下に揺動するので、左右の軸部Ｍ８Ａ、Ｍ８Ｂの取り付け位置が固定されている場合、左右の軸部Ｍ８Ａ、Ｍ８Ｂは、回転用可動部Ｍ７Ａ、Ｍ７Ｂの一端の揺動に伴って、時計回り方向（または反時計回り方向）に回転することになる。
そのため、長手方向に延びる軸部Ｍ８Ａ、Ｍ８Ｂの前方に取り付けられた左右の開閉用可動手段１９Ａ、１９Ｂは、軸部Ｍ８Ａ、Ｍ８Ｂと一体的に時計回り方向（または反時計回り方向）に回転するので、左右の開閉用可動手段１９Ａ、１９Ｂの先端が相互に近接したり、相互に離間する。
【００３７】
そして、左右の開閉用可動手段１９Ａ、１９Ｂの先端が相互に近接する場合、左右の開閉用可動手段１９Ａ、１９Ｂはパチンコ球を保持する。それに対して、左右の開閉用可動手段１９Ａ、１９Ｂの先端が相互に離間する場合、左右の開閉用可動手段１９Ａ、１９Ｂの先端の間から、パチンコ球は下方に落下することになる。それにより、開閉機構ＭＭは、エンコーダ用検出部Ｍ２ａのエンコーダ用信号に基づいて、所定のタイミングで駆動モータＭ０を作動させることにより、左右の開閉用可動手段１９Ａ、１９Ｂは、所定のタイミングで開閉することになる。
そして、左右の開閉用可動手段１９Ａ、１９Ｂが閉じた場合に当たって止まったパチンコ球は、上方パチンコ球通路２０に導かれ、Ｖゾーン用収納部２３に入った場合、大当たりを発生させることになるので、遊技者の興趣を増大させることができる。
【００３８】
左右の開閉用可動手段１９Ａ、１９Ｂには、弾性部材としての左右の板バネＱ１、Ｑ２がそれぞれ取り付けられているので、板バネＱ１、Ｑ２にパチンコ球が当たることにより、パチンコ球は、左右の開閉用可動手段１９Ａ、１９Ｂから遠ざかるように弾かれることになる。
具体的には、左右の開閉用可動手段１９Ａ、１９Ｂは、左右の軸部Ｍ８Ａ、Ｍ８Ｂの前方に取り付けられる基部１９Ａ１、１９Ｂ１を回転中心として、パチンコ球が通過する側である先端部１９Ａ２、１９Ｂ２を回転させる構成からなっており、左右の板状のバネ部材Ｑ１、Ｑ２を、左右の開閉用可動手段１９Ａ、１９Ｂに沿うように取り付ける。この場合、左右の板状のバネ部材Ｑ１、Ｑ２の基部Ｑ１ｂ、Ｑ２ｂを、左右の開閉用可動手段１９Ａ、１９Ｂの基部１９Ａ１、１９Ｂ１側の位置決め突起部１９Ａ３、１９Ｂ３に対して、ネジ止めすることによって固定する。それに対して、開閉用可動手段１９Ａ、１９Ｂの先端部１９Ａ、１９Ｂに板状のバネ部材Ｑ１、Ｑ２の先端部Ｑ１ａ、Ｑ２ａを固定しない構成とすることにより、板状のバネ部材Ｑ１、Ｑ２の先端部Ｑ１ａ、Ｑ２ａにパチンコ球が当たった場合、板状のバネ部材Ｑ１、Ｑ２の先端部Ｑ１ａ、Ｑ２ａが湾曲した後に元の形状に戻る際に、バネ部材Ｑ１、Ｑ２の弾性力でもって、パチンコ球を開閉用可動手段１９Ａ、１９Ｂから離れるように弾くようにする。そのため、板バネＱ１、Ｑ２は、例えば鋼等の素材からなって、例えば０．５ｍｍ程度の厚さであって、１０ｍｍ程度以上の長さを有するのが望ましい。
また、板状のバネ部材Ｑ１、Ｑ２の先端部Ｑ１ａ、Ｑ２ａを、丸くすることにより、先端部Ｑ１ａ、Ｑ２ａの滑りを良くして、先端部Ｑ１ａ、Ｑ２ａにおいて、パチンコ球が詰まることを防止することができる。また、金属製のバネ部材Ｑ１、Ｑ２の場合、パチンコ球がバネ部材Ｑ１、Ｑ２上で滑りが良くなって、パチンコ球が詰まることを防止することができる。
【００３９】
以上説明した通り、第１の実施形態に係るパチンコ遊技機１によれば、遊技盤２に設けられた左始動口１４Ｂ等（始動口）へ入賞することにより、遊技者にとって有利な状態を選択的に形成するため、開閉扉１６Ａ、１６Ｂ（開閉用可動部材）が作動し、可動入賞装置７（遊技機用構造物）内に入ったパチンコ球が、Ｖゾーン用収納部２３（特定入賞口）へ、入賞することにより特別遊技状態が発生する可動入賞装置７（遊技機用構造物）において、可動入賞装置７の内部構造物として、パチンコ球の通過状態、またはパチンコ球の不通過状態を形成するため開閉用可動手段１９Ａ、１９Ｂを設け、その開閉用可動手段１９Ａ、１９Ｂにおけるパチンコ球が当たる部分に、パチンコ球を弾く板バネＱ１、Ｑ２（弾性部材）を設けた。
そのため、開閉用可動手段１９Ａ、１９Ｂにパチンコ球が接触しても、閉まりかかった開閉用可動手段１９Ａ、１９Ｂの先端の間に、パチンコ球が詰まるといった状態が生じにくく、遊技者が遊技を行っている際、遊技を中断することが少ない。
【００４０】
また、可動入賞装置７（遊技機用構造物）内部には、開いた開閉扉１６Ａ、１６Ｂ（開閉用可動部材）の内側にパチンコ球が当たって内部に入った後に、遊技者側から離れる方向にパチンコ球が進むのを防止する壁部Ｂ１（壁部材）を設け、更に、開いた開閉扉１６Ａ、１６Ｂ（開閉用可動部材）に当たったパチンコ球を、開閉扉１６Ａ、１６Ｂに隣接する入賞用出口１６Ｃから、下流側に転動させる下流側遊技球通路１８を、可動入賞装置７の遊技者側に設けた。
そのため、開いた開閉扉１６Ａ、１６Ｂ（開閉用可動部材）に当たったパチンコ球は、貯留機能を果たす底面部Ｂ２を通って入賞球用出口１６Ｃから出て、遊技者側に設けられた下流側パチンコ球通路１８を通って、下流側に向かって転動する。
このように開いた開閉扉１６Ａ、１６Ｂ（開閉用可動部材）に当たったパチンコ球は、壁部Ｂ１（壁部材）によって遮られて、その奥部に行くことがなく、壁部Ｂ１（壁部材）の手前側に位置するとともに、可動入賞装置７（遊技機用構造物）の遊技者側に位置するので、開閉扉１６Ａ、１６Ｂに当たって下流側に転動するパチンコ球が見やすくなって、パチンコ遊技を行う遊技者は遊技に集中することができる。
【００４１】
尚、図７及び図１０に示す底面部Ｂ２は、必ずしも平面的である必要はなく、壁部材としての壁部Ｂ１から、下流側パチンコ球通路１８に向かって下り勾配となる斜面を、必要に応じて設けてもよい。
また、図６及び図９に示す壁部材としての壁部Ｂ１は、必ずしもパチンコ球２個分程度の長さ分だけ、可動入賞装置７内部の遊技者側から離れる位置に配置されている必要はない。壁部Ｂ１の位置は、パチンコ球が見にくくなる奥部に行くことがなければ、例えば３個分程度の長さだけ遊技者側から離れる位置に設けてもよく、これらは、遊技機用構造物等の構成に応じて変更してもよい。また、入賞球用出口、遊技球貯留部及び壁部材の形状または位置等は、必ずしも上記のものに限定されるものではなく、その他のものに変更してもよい。
また、役物としての可動入賞装置７は、内部にパチンコ球を入れるための大入賞口１５Ａ、１５Ｂ（入口部）、及び、この大入賞口１５Ａ、１５Ｂ（入口部）の近傍に配置した開閉扉１６Ａ、１６Ｂ（開閉用可動部材）を備える可動入賞装置に限ったものではなく、遊技者にとって有利な状態を選択的に形成するため、開閉用可動部材を開閉することができるものであれば、その他のものでも良い。
【００４２】
次に、第２の実施の形態について、図２２乃至図２５を参照して説明する。ここで、図２２は、第２の実施形態に係るパチンコ遊技機６３の遊技領域６４を拡大して示した正面図である。図２３は、可動入賞装置６７のみを示す拡大正面図である。図２４は、遊技領域６４に設けられる可動入賞装置６７のみを示す拡大断面図である。図２５は、可動入賞装置６７から回転部材８０等を取り外した状態を示す拡大正面図である。
このパチンコ遊技機６３は、図２２に示すように、後述する入賞口、可動入賞装置、電動役物及びゲート等の各種構造物を、遊技盤の遊技領域６４上に配設しており、それを囲むように環状のレール６５が遊技盤上に立設されている。このレール６５は、発射されたパチンコ球を遊技領域６４内に案内する案内路を構成し、遊技盤上の右肩部には、レール６５に沿って打ち込まれるパチンコ球の進行を制限するための段差部６６が配設されている。
また、遊技領域６４のほぼ中央には、可動入賞装置６７が配置されている。この可動入賞装置６７の左右には、電飾ランプ６８、６９が設けられている。その可動入賞装置６７と電飾ランプ６８、６９との間の上方には、飾り風車７０、７１が設けられており、更に、可動入賞装置６７の左右側方には、飾り風車７２、７３が設けられている。
【００４３】
更に、可動入賞装置６７と電飾ランプ６８、６９との間には、入賞口７４、７５が設けられている。可動入賞装置６７の左右下方には、電飾ランプ付きの風車７６、７７が設けられている。可動入賞装置６７及び電飾ランプ付きの風車７６、７７の下方には、始動口部材７８が設置してあり、この始動口部材７８の中始動口７８Ａ、左入賞口７８Ｂ及び右入賞口７８Ｃが設けられている。中始動口７８Ａ、左入賞口７８Ｂ及び右入賞口７８Ｃにパチンコ球が入賞すると、所定数の賞球を払い出すと共に、可動入賞装置６７の開閉用羽根部材７９を所定回数だけ開閉する。
【００４４】
次に、可動入賞装置６７の構成について説明する。
この可動入賞装置６７の上方左右には、図２３乃至図２５に示すように、上方開口６７ａが設けられている。その可動入賞装置６７の左肩及び右肩の上方開口６７ａには、パチンコ球を当てて、可動入賞装置６７内にパチンコ球を導くため、回動可能な開閉用羽根部材７９が配置されており、一対の開閉用羽根部材７９は、遊技球当て部７９Ａをその上方側にそれぞれ備えている。
左肩及び右肩の上方開口６７ａ、６７ａの間に挟まれる遊技室には、遊技中回転を継続する回転部材８０が配置されており、回転部材８０の一部に、特別入賞口（図示せず）が設けられている。そして、特別入賞口に、パチンコ球が入賞すると、「大当たり」（遊技者にとって特に有利な特別遊技状態）が発生し、所定数の賞球が払い出される。この場合、回動可能な開閉用羽根部材７９は、上方開口６７ａ、６７ａ内に、パチンコ球を入れるか否かを決定するので、結果として、遊技者にとって有利な特別遊技状態（大当たり）を発生させるか否かの決定に関与する役割を果たすことなる。
【００４５】
その回転部材８０の内側上部には、図２４に示すように、発光素子としての発光ＬＥＤ８１が設けられている。回転部材８０の下部には、発光ＬＥＤ８１の発光制御を行うための発光用制御基板８２が設けられており、発光用制御基板８２を支持するスリップリング８２Ａが設けられている。スリップリング８２Ａには、信号線８３が取り付けられている。回転部材８０の奥部には、回動駆動ギヤ８４が設けられており、この回動駆動ギヤ８４の下方には、駆動モータ８５が設けられている。そして、駆動モータ８５が駆動すると、回動駆動ギヤ８４を回転させ、更に回転部材８０を回転させることになるので、その回転部材８０の回転に同期して、発光ＬＥＤ８１が発光することになる。
【００４６】
その駆動モータ８５の奥部には、図２４及び図２５に示すように、開閉用羽根部材７９を回動させるための一対の駆動用ソレノイド８６が設けられており、この駆動用ソレノイド８６は、それぞれプランジャ８７を有している。そして、プランジャ８７の上端には、クランク８８が取り付けられており、このクランク８８には、左右の開閉用羽根部材７９をそれぞれ回動させるための、一対の駆動用ギヤ８９がそれぞれ取り付けられている。これら左右の駆動用ギヤ８９は、各支持ピン９０を回転中心として回動し、これら駆動用ギヤ８９は、羽根回動用ギヤ９１とそれぞれ歯合している。また、羽根回動用ギヤ９１には、図２４に示すように、軸部材９２がそれぞれ取り付けられているので、その軸部材９２が回転すると、開閉用羽根部材７９が一体的に回転することになる。
【００４７】
具体的には、プランジャ８７が上方へ移動すると、クランク８８も上方へ移動し、左右の駆動用ギヤ８９が支持ピン９０を回転中心として回動する。この場合、左側駆動用ギヤ８９が反時計回りに回動し、右側駆動用ギヤ８９が時計回りに回動する。すると、左側駆動用ギヤ８９と歯合している左側羽根回動用ギヤ９１が時計回りに回動し、右側駆動用ギヤ８９と歯合している右側羽根回動用ギヤ９１が、反時計回りに回動する。それにより、左側の開閉用羽根部材７９は、左側の軸部材９２が時計回りに回転する結果、時計回りに回動するのに対して、右側の開閉用羽根部材７９は、右側の軸部材９２が反時計回りに回転する結果、反時計回りに回動する。
そして、左側の開閉用羽根部材７９が時計回りに回動すると、左側の開閉用羽根部材７９の遊技球当て部７９Ａが、パチンコ球用の流路Ｐ２から突き出ないので、転動するパチンコ球は、遊技球当て部７９Ａに当たることなく、可動入賞装置６７の内部へ入らない。また、右側の開閉用羽根部材７９が反時計回りに回動すると、遊技球当て部７９Ａがパチンコ球用の流路Ｐ２に突き出ないので、転動するパチンコ球は、遊技球当て部７９Ａに当たることなく、可動入賞装置６７の内部へ入らない。
【００４８】
一方、プランジャ８７が下方へ移動すると、クランク８８も下方へ移動し、左右の駆動用ギヤ８９が支持ピン９０を回転中心として回動する。この場合、左側駆動用ギヤ８９が時計回りに回動し、右側駆動用ギヤ８９が反時計回りに回動する。すると、左側駆動用ギヤ８９と歯合している左側羽根回動用ギヤ９１が反時計回りに回動するのに対し、右側駆動用ギヤ８９と歯合している右側羽根回動用ギヤ９１が時計回りに回動する。それにより、左側の開閉用羽根部材７９は、左側の軸部材９２が反時計回りに回転する結果、反時計回りに回転するのに対して、右側の開閉用羽根部材７９は、右側の軸部材９２が時計回りに回転する結果、時計回りに回転する。
そして、左側の開閉用羽根部材７９が反時計回りに回動すると、左側の開閉用羽根部材７９の遊技球当て部７９Ａの先端が、パチンコ球用の流路Ｐ２に突き出るので、転動するパチンコ球を遊技球当て部７９Ａに当てて、可動入賞装置６７の上方開口６７ａを通過させて、内部へ導くことができる。また、右側の開閉用羽根部材７９が時計回りに回動すると、右側の開閉用羽根部材７９の遊技球当て部７９Ａの先端が、パチンコ球用の流路Ｐ２に突き出るので、転動するパチンコ球を遊技球当て部７９Ａに当てて、可動入賞装置６７の上方開口６７ａを通過させて、内部へ導くことができる。
【００４９】
従って、左側及び右側の開閉用羽根部材７９の遊技球当て部７９Ａが、流路Ｐ２に沿ったパチンコ球の落下を許容するための上方位置（図２５破線）に配置されることにより、転動するパチンコ球の落下を許容させ、転動するパチンコ球を入賞口としての上方開口６７ａに入れない。一方、左側及び右側の開閉用羽根部材７９の遊技球当て部７９Ａが、流路Ｐ２に沿ったパチンコ球の落下を受けるための下方位置（図２５実線）に配置されることにより、流路Ｐ２に沿って落下するパチンコ球を受ける遊技球当て部７９Ａに当てて、可動入賞装置６７内部へ導くことができる。
【００５０】
このようにプランジャ８７の位置でもって、転動するパチンコ球を遊技球当て部７９Ａに当てるか否かが決まり、可動入賞装置６７内部へ導いたり、導かなかったりすることができる。尚、可動入賞装置６７の上部には、覆い部Ｒ１が設けられており、覆い部Ｒ１から左右に流れる斜面が形成されているので、覆い部Ｒ１に沿った流路Ｐ２をパチンコ球は、落下することができる。それにより、パチンコ球の通路となる流路Ｐ２の左右側に、左右の開閉用羽根部材７９がそれぞれ配置されることになる。
【００５１】
また、左右の開閉用羽根部材７９のパチンコ球が当たる部分には、弾性部材としての左右の板バネＱ３がそれぞれ取り付けられているので、板バネＱ３にパチンコ球が当たることにより、パチンコ球は、左右の開閉用羽根部材７９から遠ざかるように弾かれることになる。
具体的には、左右の開閉用羽根部材７９は、図２４に示すように、左右の軸部材９２の前方に取り付けられる基部を回転中心として、パチンコ球が通過する側である先端部を回転させる構成からなっており、左右の板状のバネ部材Ｑ３を、左右の開閉用羽根部材７９に沿うように取り付ける。そして、第１の実施の形態と同様に、左右の板状のバネ部材Ｑ３の基部を、左右の開閉用羽根部材７９の基部側（軸部材９２側）に対して固定するのに対して、板状のバネ部材Ｑ３の先端部を固定しない構成とすることにより、板状のバネ部材Ｑ３の先端部にパチンコ球が当たった場合、板状のバネ部材Ｑ３の先端部が湾曲した後に元の形状に戻る際に、バネ部材Ｑ３の弾性力でもって、パチンコ球が開閉用羽根部材７９から離れるように弾くようにする。そのため、板バネＱ３は、例えば鋼等の素材からなって、例えば０．５ｍｍ程度の厚さであって、１０ｍｍ程度以上の長さを有するのが望ましい。尚、板状のバネ部材Ｑ３の場合は、遊技者から見えにくいように、開閉用羽根部材７９の裏側等に設けて、板状のバネ部材Ｑ３が開閉用羽根部材７９によって隠れた状態にあるのが望ましい。
【００５２】
以上説明した通り、第２の実施形態に係るパチンコ遊技機６３の遊技領域６４を転動するパチンコ球を、可動入賞装置６７の左肩及び右肩の上方開口６７ａ（入口）に入れるため、開閉する一対の開閉用羽根部材７９（開閉用可動手段）を備えた可動入賞装置６７（遊技機用構造物）において、パチンコ球の通過状態、またはパチンコ球の不通過状態を形成するため、その開閉用羽根部材７９におけるパチンコ球が当たる部分に、パチンコ球を弾く板バネＱ３（弾性部材）を設けたので、開閉用羽根部材７９にパチンコ球が接触しても、板バネＱ３がパチンコ球を弾くことになる。そのため、閉まりかかった開閉用羽根部材７９と、可動入賞装置６７の覆い部Ｒ１との間に、パチンコ球が挟まって、パチンコ球が詰まるといった状態が生じにくく、遊技者が遊技を行っている際、遊技が中断することが少ない。
尚、図２３に示す可動入賞装置６７は、図２６に示すように、その開閉用羽根部材９５を回転部材８０に近接する位置に配置してもよい。尚、図２６は、図２３に対応する図であって、可動入賞装置６７の変形例を示し、図２７は、可動入賞装置６７の内側の一部を拡大して示す図である。
この場合、その開閉用羽根部材９５におけるパチンコ球が当たる上方部分に、弾性部材としての左右の板バネＱ４をそれぞれ取り付ける。そして、開閉用羽根部材９５は、図２７（ａ）及び図２７（ｂ）に示すように、その基部９５ａを回転中心として回動できるので、開閉用羽根部材９５の板バネＱ４は、覆い部材Ｒ２と、閉まりかかった開閉用羽根部材９５との間に（図２７（ａ）参照）、パチンコ球が挟まることによって、パチンコ球が詰まりかかっても、上方に弾くことにより（図２７（ｂ）参照）、それを防止することができる。
具体的には、開閉用羽根部材９５は、パチンコ球が当たる上方部分に、パチンコ球を弾く板バネＱ４の上方Ｑ４ａの揺動を許容する空間部９５ｂを設け、板バネＱ４の基部Ｑ４ｂを開閉用羽根部材９５の基部９５ａ側に取り付けたので、パチンコ球が当たった板バネＱ４の上方Ｑ４ａは、空間部９５ｂ内で付勢されることによってしなるとともに、元の形状に戻る際のその板バネＱ４の反発力でもって、パチンコ球を上方に弾くことができる。この場合、板バネＱ４は、例えば鋼等の素材からなって、例えば０．５ｍｍ程度の厚さであって、１０ｍｍ程度以上の長さを有するのが望ましい。また、板状のバネ部材Ｑ４は、遊技者から見えにくいように、開閉用羽根部材９５によって隠れた位置にあるので、美観を損ねることはない。
【００５３】
尚、本発明は、各実施形態に限定されるものではなく、本発明の要旨を逸脱しない範囲内で種々の改良、変形が可能であることは勿論である。遊技機の一例として第２種パチンコ遊技機を例示したが、それ以外の第１種または第３種パチンコ遊技機であってもよいし、それ以外のスロット機等の遊技機であっても良い。また、遊技球の通過状態、または遊技球の不通過状態を形成するため、開閉用可動手段を可動することができる遊技機用構造物であれば、必ずしも上記のものに限定される訳ではなく、種々の変更が可能であり、上記以外の構成を有していても良い。
その可動入賞装置７、６７内の構造物としては、遊技者の興味を起こさせる移動部材等を採用してもよい。また、パチンコ球が当たる部分に取り付けられる弾性部材は、弾性ゴム部材等を採用してもよい。

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
  The present invention is a game such as a pachinko machine.In machineIn particular, a gaming machine structure capable of preventing a game ball from being clogged in a movable means for opening and closing.To thingsIt is related.
[0002]
[Prior art]
  In the case of a pachinko gaming machine as an example of a gaming machine, a structure for a gaming machine that can change between a first state that is disadvantageous to the player and a second state that is advantageous to the player is provided on the gaming board. Yes. For example, in the case of a structure for a gaming machine having a pair of left and right movable means for opening and closing, the movable means for opening and closing makes the pachinko ball easy to win by moving so that the movable means for opening and closing is open. By moving so as to close, the pachinko ball becomes difficult to win.
  Thus, when the pair of left and right open / close movable means move so that the winning opening is changed from the open state to the closed state, a pachinko ball accidentally enters between the tips of the left and right pair of open / close movable means. A so-called ball-engaged state in which the pachinko ball is sandwiched between a pair of left and right movable means for opening and closing may occur.
  Further, even in the case of an accessory provided with an opening / closing type blade member in the accessory body, when closing the blade member from the opened state, a pachinko ball is sandwiched between the closed blade member and the accessory body, There were cases where the opening and closing of the blade member was hindered, and the game was interrupted.
[0003]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
  However, in the openable / closable moving means including such an openable / closable blade member or the like, if the pachinko ball such as the above-mentioned ball-engaged state is clogged and a state in which the open / close is disturbed occurs, the game is interrupted. The problem that the interest of the player who is doing is killed will arise.
[0004]
  The present invention has been made to solve the above-mentioned conventional problems, and a structure for a gaming machine capable of preventing a state in which a game ball is clogged in a movable means for opening and closing as much as possible.ThingsThe purpose is to provide.
[0005]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
  In order to achieve the above object, according to the first aspect of the present invention, the open / close movable means arranged in the game area is moved to form a game ball passing state or a gaming ball non-passing state. In the structure, the movable means for opening and closingIs timesSupported in a rollable mannerAnd a tip that is rotatable about the base as a rotation center,A game ball hits the movable means for opening and closingPartAn elastic member for playing a game ball is provided, and the elastic member is a plate-shaped spring member, and the movable means for opening and closing the elastic memberbaseOne end of the side is a fixed end fixed to the movable means for opening and closing,The distal end side of the movable means for opening and closing in the elastic memberThe other end is a free end that is not fixed to the opening / closing movable means.
  Thus, when the game ball hits the opening / closing movable means, the elastic member flips the game ball away from the opening / closing movable means. For this reason, even if the game ball comes into contact with the opening / closing movable means, it is unlikely that the game ball is clogged in the opening / closing movable means, and the game is less likely to be interrupted when the player is playing a game.
  Here, the “opening / closing movable means” includes, for example, movable members such as an opening / closing ball receiving member, an opening / closing blade member, an opening / closing door for a prize winning opening, etc., and the opening / closing movable means opens and closes. Thus, the game ball enters either a state where it is easy to win (open state) or a state where the game ball is difficult to win (closed state).
  In this case, it is desirable that the openable / closable moving means has a configuration in which the distal end portion on the side through which the game ball passes is rotated with the base portion as the rotation center.

A wall disposed inside the structure for the gaming machine to prevent the game ball from moving in a direction away from the player side after the game ball hits the movable member and the openable movable member for opening and closing and enters the inside. A winning ball exit for delivering the game ball to the player side after the game ball hits the member, and the openable movable member adjacent to the left and right open / close movable member; and from the winning ball exit In order to roll the played game ball downstream, it is desirable to provide a downstream game ball passage disposed on the player side.
  As described above, the game balls that enter the structure for the gaming machine can easily enter the structure for the gaming machine through the movable members for opening and closing arranged on the left and right sides of the structure for the gaming machine. It is blocked by the wall member inside the structure and does not go to the back. Then, the game balls that hit the movable opening and closing members on the left and right of the structure for the gaming machine exit from the winning ball outlet and pass downstream through the downstream game ball passage provided on the player side. Since the game ball rolls toward the player, the game ball is positioned on the near side of the wall member and is positioned on the player side of the structure for the gaming machine. Thereby, after the game ball hits the movable member for opening and closing and enters the inside, the game ball rolls to the downstream side at a position easy for the player to see, so that the player who plays the game can concentrate on the game.
[0013]
  In addition, the structure for a gaming machine can be used to play a game in a direction away from the player side after the game ball hits the left and right movable member for opening and closing and the opened movable member for opening and closing. In order to prevent the ball from advancing, a wall member disposed inside the structure for the gaming machine, a game ball storage unit for storing the game ball that hits the openable movable member for opening and closing, and a movable member for opening and closing the left and right After the game ball hits the openable movable member that is sandwiched between them, the game ball stored in the game ball storage section is exited from the winning ball exit and the winning ball exit. In order to roll the game balls downstream, a downstream game ball passage disposed on the player side, a winning detection means disposed along the downstream gaming ball passage, and a winning detection means are disposed.

On the left and right sides of the movable prize-winning device 7, electric lamps 8 and 9 are provided. Winning ports 10 and 11 are provided above the movable winning device 7 and the electric lamps 8 and 9, and further below the winning ports 10 and 11, and the electric lamps 8 and 9. On the left and right sides of the, prize winning openings 12 and 13 are provided.
  Below the winning openings 12, 13 and the movable winning apparatus 7, a starting opening member 14 is installed. The starting opening member 14 is provided with a middle starting opening 14A, a left starting opening 14B, and a right starting opening 14C. Yes.
[0018]
  When pachinko balls win the middle start port 14A, left start port 14B, and right start port 14C, a predetermined number of prize balls are paid out, and the open / close doors 16A, 16B of the large winning port 15 of the movable winning device 7 are set a predetermined number of times. Just open and close. For example, when a pachinko ball wins in the middle start opening 14A, after a predetermined time interval (for example, 1 second), the open / close doors 16A and 16B are moved to a predetermined time (for example, 0.4 seconds for 2 seconds for 0.8 seconds). )Open. In addition, when a pachinko ball wins in the left start opening 14B and the right start opening 14C, after a predetermined time interval (for example, 1 second), the open / close doors 16A and 16B are moved for a predetermined time (for example, 0.5 second). Open once.
[0019]
  A left display LED 14D is disposed between the middle start port 14A and the left start port 14B, and a right display LED is disposed between the middle start port 14A and the right start port 14C. An LED 14E is provided. When the pachinko ball wins the left start port 14B and the right start port 14C, the display LEDs 14D and the display LEDs 14E have predetermined intervals (for example, 1 second), and then the doors 16A and 16B are predetermined. When opening for a certain period of time (for example, 0.5 seconds), immediately after winning a pachinko ball in the left start port 14B and the right start port 14C, a predetermined time (1.5 seconds, that is, 0.5 seconds and 1 second) It is configured to light up for the total time).
  In addition, when the pachinko ball wins the middle start port 14A, the display LED 14D and the display LED 14E have a predetermined time interval (for example, 1 second), and then the opening and closing doors 16A and 16B have a predetermined time (for example, 0. 0). When it is released only for 4 seconds, 0.8 seconds), it will light up for a predetermined time (1.8 seconds, that is, the total time of 1 second and 0.8 seconds) immediately after winning the pachinko ball. It is configured.
[0020]
  This is because when the pachinko ball wins the middle start port 14A, the left start port 14B and the right start port 14C, the open / close doors 16A and 16B (movable members for opening and closing) in the movable prize-winning device 7 (actual items) are moved. Since the functions of the start port 14A, the left start port 14B and the right start port 14C are set to a non-operating state in which the functions do not operate for a predetermined period of time, when the inoperable time is satisfied, the display LED 14D and the display LED 14E are turned on This is to notify the player of that fact. And, “to make the start port function inactive” means that when it corresponds to the inactive time, even if the pachinko ball wins the start ports 14, 14B, 14C, the open / close door 16A for the grand prize port 15; The state where 16B does not move, that is, the state where the open / close doors 16A and 16B for the special winning opening 15 remain closed. Therefore, even if the pachinko ball wins the start opening 14A, 14B, 14C, in the non-operation time when the opening / closing doors 16A, 16B do not open, for example, the pachinko ball goes to the winning opening other than the start opening 14A, 14B, 14C. Since it is understood that it is better to fire the pachinko ball by adjusting the strength of the launching device so that it wins, the player grasps the current gaming state and, for example, launches the pachinko ball launching device. While adjusting the strength, the handle of the launcher and the like can be appropriately operated, and a game strategy corresponding to the situation can be executed.
[0021]
  Thereafter, when the start port function returns to the operating state, the display LED 14D and the display LED 14E are turned off, so that the player can grasp that fact.
  Thus, the display LED 14D and the display LED 14E (notification means) are arranged at easy-to-see positions in the vicinity of the middle start port 14A, the left start port 14B, and the right start port 14C (start port). The relationship with non-operation time is easy to understand visually. In addition to the display LEDs 14D and 14E, a display means such as a display lamp P8 provided around the game board 2 may be used to notify that it corresponds to the inoperative time.

Further, as shown in FIG. 24, shaft members 92 are respectively attached to the blade rotating gear 91. Therefore, when the shaft member 92 rotates, the opening / closing blade member 79 rotates integrally. .
[0047]
  Specifically, when the plunger 87 moves upward, the crank 88 also moves upward, and the left and right drive gears 89 rotate about the support pin 90 as a rotation center. In this case, the left driving gear 89 rotates counterclockwise, and the right driving gear 89 rotates clockwise. Then, the left blade rotation gear 91 meshed with the left drive gear 89 rotates clockwise, and the right blade rotation gear 91 meshed with the right drive gear 89 counterclockwise. Rotate. Accordingly, the left opening / closing blade member 79 rotates clockwise as a result of the left shaft member 92 rotating clockwise, whereas the right opening / closing blade member 79 is rotated to the right shaft member 92. Rotates counterclockwise, resulting in counterclockwise rotation.
  When the left opening / closing blade member 79 rotates clockwise, the game ball contact portion 79A of the left opening / closing blade member 79 does not protrude from the pachinko ball flow path P2, so that the rolling pachinko ball is The movable winning device 67 is not entered without hitting the game ball hitting portion 79A. When the right opening / closing blade member 79 rotates counterclockwise,, PlaySince the game ball hitting portion 79A does not protrude into the pachinko ball flow path P2, the rolling pachinko ball does not hit the game ball hitting portion 79A and does not enter the movable winning device 67.

[0051]
  In addition, since the left and right leaf springs Q3 as elastic members are respectively attached to the portions of the left and right opening / closing blade members 79 where the pachinko balls hit, the pachinko balls hit the leaf springs Q3. It is bounced away from the left and right opening / closing blade members 79.
  Specifically, as shown in FIG. 24, the left and right opening / closing blade members 79 rotate the distal end portion on the side through which the pachinko balls pass, with the base attached to the front of the left and right shaft members 92 as the rotation center. The left and right plate-like spring members Q <b> 3 are attached along the left and right opening / closing blade members 79. And, as in the first embodiment, the bases of the left and right plate-like spring members Q3 are fixed to the base side (the shaft member 92 side) of the left and right opening / closing blade members 79. By adopting a configuration in which the tip of the plate-like spring member Q3 is not fixed, when the pachinko ball hits the tip of the plate-like spring member Q3, the tip of the plate-like spring member Q3 is curved and then returned to the original shape. When returning to the shape, the pachinko ball is repelled away from the opening / closing blade member 79 by the elastic force of the spring member Q3. Therefore, it is desirable that the leaf spring Q3 is made of a material such as steel, and has a thickness of about 0.5 mm and a length of about 10 mm or more.
