Description

  The present invention relates to a gaming machine provided with an accessory device that determines whether or not a pachinko ball received when a blade is opened hits based on a result of rolling inside.

  Pachinko machines are examples of gaming machines that can be installed in amusement halls such as pachinko parlors. Among the pachinko machines, there is a pachinko machine equipped with an accessory device called a blade object. This accessory device called a blade object is provided with a blade that opens and closes and a winning opening (accepting port) that allows a winning when the blade is opened. For example, when the pachinko ball wins the start winning device, the blade is opened and closed a predetermined number of times. When the pachinko ball is received by the blade during the opening and closing operation, it is possible to win the above-described winning opening. The pachinko ball that has won the winning opening rolls on a stage provided inside the accessory and then enters a winning opening or a lost opening (collection opening).

  For example, when entering the winning hole, the winning mode is advantageous to the player, and the above-described blade is opened and closed up to 18 times, for example, or during the opening and closing operation, for example, 10 pachinko balls enter the above-mentioned winning hole. Then, the opening / closing operation of the blades ends, and one round ends. When the pachinko ball that has entered the inside of the accessory enters the entrance during the end of the first round, the blades again open and close, and the second round is started. In this hit mode, for example, 15 rounds are set as the upper limit. As a result, if a large number of rounds are digested, a large number of prize balls can be obtained.

A movable object that changes the rolling direction of a pachinko ball that rolls on a stage is provided inside such an accessory device called a blade object. Then, by changing the rolling direction of the pachinko ball with these movable objects, it is determined whether to win the winning slot or to collect from the recovery slot.

  However, in the case of such an accessory device, there is a drawback that the game tends to be monotonous because attention is paid to whether or not the pachinko ball enters the mouth rather than the pachinko ball rolling. . In addition, other actions such as tapping a pachinko machine, etc., by applying force from the outside of the pachinko machine, changing the rolling direction of the pachinko ball and illegally increasing the probability of the pachinko ball hitting the mouth. There is a drawback that it is easy to break.

  The present invention has been made in order to solve the above-mentioned problems, and it is possible to give a new gameability by determining whether or not a pachinko ball will win a winning hole by a method different from the conventional method. An object is to provide a gaming machine.

In order to achieve the above object, the gaming machine of the present invention is a gaming machine equipped with an accessory device that determines whether or not a privilege is granted based on a result of rolling the pachinko ball. In a gaming machine provided with an accessory device that determines whether or not a privilege is granted based on a result of rolling, an accepting device that is provided in the accessory device and receives the pachinko ball inside the accessory device A pachinko ball that retains the pachinko ball received in the inside of the accessory device from the receiving port, a stage that rolls the pachinko ball dropped from the saucer, and the pachinko ball that rolls the stage The pachinko ball that has been rolled on the stage and the pachinko ball that has been dropped from the tray is directed toward the recovery port. A switching mechanism for switching the stage between a first tilted state to be moved and a second tilted state in which the pachinko ball rolls toward the hitting port, and the pachinko ball received from the receiving port is detected. Receiving ball detecting means, timing means operating upon detection of a pachinko ball by the receiving ball detecting means, and switching when the elapsed time by the timing means exceeds a preset reference time A switching control means for operating the mechanism to switch the stage from the first tilt state to the second tilt state; and when the stage is switched from the first tilt state to the second tilt state, And a pressing member that presses the lower surface of the tray . The receiving ball detecting means may be any device that can detect the pachinko ball from when the pachinko ball is received from the receiving port until it reaches the tray.

  Further, the receiving tray swings by receiving a pachinko ball received from the receiving port.

  In addition, a sorting member having an opening for dropping the pachinko ball received from the receiving port to the receiving plate and an opening for dropping the pachinko ball received from the receiving port to the stage is provided above the receiving plate.

  Moreover, the said distribution member is provided with the attenuation | damping member which attenuates the momentum of the pachinko ball falling toward the said saucer.

  Moreover, a position variation mechanism that varies the position of the sorting member in the height direction with respect to the tray, and a variation control unit that controls the position variation mechanism are provided.

  According to the gaming machine of the present invention, if the time during which the pachinko ball received in the accessory device stays in the tray is long, the probability of entering the winning hole increases. According to this, in the past, it was determined whether or not to win the winning a prize depending on how the inside of the accessory device rolls, but in the case of the present invention, it stays inside the accessory device. Since whether or not to win a winning ticket is determined depending on the time to be played, it is possible to provide a gaming machine with new gaming characteristics. In addition, in the past, fraudulent acts such as hitting a pachinko machine and winning a prize by applying force from the outside of the pachinko machine are easy to perform, but in the present invention, by applying external force to the pachinko machine, Since the pachinko ball staying in the bowl falls from the tray, it is possible to prevent acts such as hitting a pachinko machine.

  Moreover, since the dwelling time of the pachinko balls staying in the receiving tray can be changed by swinging the receiving tray, it is possible to give the player a sense of tension that the pachinko balls will fall from the receiving tray.

  In addition, when the stage is switched from the first inclined state to the second inclined state, the pachinko ball staying in the tray can be forcibly dropped onto the stage by tilting the tray, The state where the pachinko balls are staying inside the physical device can be eliminated.

  Moreover, the ratio of the pachinko balls falling toward the saucer can be changed by arranging the sorting member above the saucer. Furthermore, by providing an attenuating member on the sorting member, the momentum of the pachinko balls falling on the saucer is attenuated, thereby reducing the impact when dropped on the saucer, so that the pachinko balls can stay in the saucer for a long time. it can.

  Also, by changing the position of the sorting member, the ratio of the pachinko balls staying in the tray is changed.In other words, the longer the distance between the sorting member and the tray, the longer the pachinko balls that fall from the sorting member stay in the tray. The ratio of staying in the saucer increases as the ratio between the sorting member and the saucer becomes shorter as the distance between the sorting member and the saucer becomes shorter. This makes it possible to vary the winning probability for winning.

  A receiving tray 55 and a stage plate (stage) 56 are provided below the guide passages 47 and 48 in the internal space 42 a of the accessory body 42. The receiving tray 55 receives the pachinko balls 110 that have fallen from the downstream ends of the guide passages 47 and 48 and retains the received pachinko balls 110. The tray 55 is attached via a coil spring 59 between the contact passage 51 and the out passage 53 and on the upper surface of the protruding portion 58 protruding upward. By attaching the tray 55 to the protruding portion 58 via the coil spring 59, when the pachinko ball 110 falling from the guide passages 47 and 48 is received, the tray 55 is inclined by the received impact, and then the coil spring 59 The tray 55 swings in response to the return force.

  The stage plate 56 is disposed between a contact passage 51 and an out passage 53 provided in a lower portion of the internal space 42 a of the accessory body 42. The stage plate 56 is a rectangular plate having an opening at the center thereof. A protruding portion 58 to which the tray 55 is attached is inserted into the opened portion (hereinafter referred to as the opening portion 56a). When the protrusion 58 is inserted into the opening 56a, a gap is generated between the opening 56a and the protrusion 58, and this gap causes the stage plate 56 to rotate within a predetermined range. be able to. In addition, by making this gap less than the diameter of the pachinko ball 110, it is possible to prevent the pachinko ball 110 from entering the gap.

  The stage plate 56 is provided with rotating shafts 56b and 56c at the center in the depth direction of the stage plate 56 on both side surfaces in the width direction of the accessory body 42, and the role plate 56b and 56c are used for the role. The object body 42 is pivotally supported. The stage plate 56 is held in a first inclined state in which the pachinko ball 110 rolls toward the out passage 53 or the out port 52, that is, in a first inclined state in which the stage plate 56 is inclined downward toward the rear surface side of the accessory body 42 (see FIG. 4). . Then, by the switching mechanism 60 described later, the pachinko ball 110 rolls from the first inclined state toward the contact passage 51 or the contact port 50, that is, the second inclined state (inclined downward to the front side of the accessory body 42) ( (See FIG. 5).

  The switching mechanism 60 is provided to switch the stage plate 56 between the first inclined state and the second inclined state. Although details of the switching mechanism 60 are not shown, the switching mechanism 60 includes a driving source such as a motor, at least a driving shaft of the motor, and a gear fixed to the rotating shaft. The switching mechanism 60 may be a switching mechanism using a solenoid as a driving source in addition to a switching mechanism using a motor as a driving source.

  As shown in FIG. 6, the pachinko machine 10 of the present embodiment includes a game control device 70 that controls a game in the pachinko machine 10. The game control device 70 includes a CPU 71, a ROM 72, and a RAM 73. The ROM 72 stores a game control program 75 for executing game control. The CPU 71 executes the game control program 75 to execute game control based on various signals output in the game. The RAM 73 temporarily stores operators, flags and the like that are generated when the game control program is executed by the CPU 71.

  The CPU 71 functions as a control unit (switching control unit) 80, a timer unit (timer unit) 81, a signal determination unit 82, and a counter 83 by executing the game control program 75. The control unit 80 performs overall game control of the pachinko machine 10. The timer unit 81 starts timing in response to a detection signal from any of the receiving ball detection sensors 91 and 92 described later. Then, when a preset reference time has elapsed, a signal indicating that fact (hereinafter, an arrival signal) is output to the control unit 80.

  The signal determination unit 82 determines whether or not the total number of detection signals output from any of the received ball detection sensors 91 and 92 matches the total number of detection signals from the winning ball detection sensor 93 and the collected ball detection sensor 94. judge. The signal determination unit 82 monitors the count number of the counter 83. For example, the count number of the detection signal output from any of the received ball detection sensors 91 and 92, the winning ball detection sensor 93, and the collected ball detection sensor. When the count numbers of the detection signals from 94 match, a signal indicating that fact (hereinafter referred to as a match signal) is output to the control unit 80.

  The counter 83 counts detection signals output from any of the received ball detection sensors 91 and 92 and counts detection signals from the winning ball detection sensor 93 and the collected ball detection sensor 94.

  The control unit 80 monitors the coincidence signal from the signal determination unit 82 and the arrival signal from the timing unit 81. For example, the arrival signal from the timing unit 81 precedes the coincidence signal from the signal determination unit 82. When output, the control unit 80 operates the switching mechanism 60 to switch the stage plate 56 from the first inclined state to the second inclined state. Thereafter, when the coincidence signal is received from the signal determination unit 82, the switching mechanism 60 is operated again to switch the stage plate 56 from the second inclined state to the first inclined state. On the other hand, when the coincidence signal from the signal determination unit 82 is output to the control unit 80 before the arrival signal from the timing unit 81, the control unit 80 stops the operation of the timing unit 81. In this case, since the reference time has not been reached, the control unit 80 does not operate the switching mechanism 60.

  The center accessory 30 is provided with receiving ball detection sensors 91 and 92, a winning ball detection sensor 93, and a collected ball detection sensor 94. The receiving ball detection sensor 91 receives the pachinko ball 110 received in the inside of the accessory body 42 from the receiving port 45, and the receiving ball detection sensor 92 receives the pachinko ball 110 received in the inside of the accessory body 42 from the receiving port 46, Each is detected, and the detection signal (hereinafter referred to as an acceptance signal) is output to the CPU 71. In response to this, the CPU 71 outputs a payout signal to the payout control device 105.

  The winning ball detection sensor 93 detects the pachinko ball 110 that has entered the winning slot 50 and outputs a detection signal (winning signal) to the CPU 71. In response to the winning signal, the CPU 71 shifts the gaming state from a normal state in which a normal game is performed to a jackpot state in which a privilege for the player is given. Further, the recovery detection sensor 94 detects the pachinko ball 110 that has entered the out port 52, and outputs a detection signal (recovery signal) to the CPU 71.

  The opening / closing mechanism 95 is provided for performing an opening / closing operation of the blades 40 and 41 provided in the center accessory 30, that is, for switching the blade between a closed position and an open position. Examples of the opening / closing mechanism 95 include a mechanism using a solenoid as a drive source and a mechanism using a motor as a drive source. For example, an opening / closing mechanism using a solenoid is a combination of a plurality of links in addition to a solenoid, and an opening / closing mechanism using a motor is a combination of a plurality of gears in addition to a motor. is there.

  The left start winning ball detection sensor 100 detects the pachinko ball 110 winning the start chucker 32 and outputs a detection signal (left start winning signal) to the CPU 71. In response to this, the CPU 71 operates the opening and closing mechanism 95 to open and close the blades 40 and 41 once. The central starting winning ball detection sensor 101 detects the pachinko ball 110 that has won the starting chucker 31 and outputs a detection signal (central starting winning signal) to the CPU 71. In response to this, the CPU 71 operates the opening / closing mechanism 95 to open and close the blades 40 and 41 twice. The right start winning ball detection sensor 102 detects the pachinko ball 110 winning the start chucker 33 and outputs a detection signal (right start winning signal) to the CPU 71. In response to this, the CPU 71 operates the opening and closing mechanism 95 to open and close the blades 40 and 41 once. Note that the CPU 71 outputs a payout signal to the payout control device 105 at the same time that the blades 40 and 41 are opened and closed.

  In response to the payout signal output from the game control device 70, the payout control device 105 operates the payout device 106 to pay out the pachinko ball 110 as a prize ball.

  Next, the effect | action of this embodiment is demonstrated based on the flowchart of FIG. When the game is not being executed, the stage plate 56 is held in the first inclined state. Then, in the process where the game is executed and the pachinko ball 110 flows down the game area 25, either a start chucker 31, 32, 33 is won or collected from the out port 36. For example, when the pachinko ball 110 enters the start chucker 32, it is detected by the left start winning ball detection sensor 100, and a left start winning signal is output to the control unit 80. In response to this, the control unit 80 operates the opening / closing mechanism 95 to open and close the blades 40 and 41 once.

  Further, when the pachinko ball 110 enters the starter chucker 31, it is detected by the central start winning ball detection sensor 101, and a central start winning signal is output to the control unit 80. In this case, the controller 80 opens and closes the blades 40 and 41 twice via the opening and closing mechanism 95. Further, when the pachinko ball 110 enters the starter chucker 31, it is detected by the right start winning ball detection sensor 102, and a right start winning signal is output to the control unit 80. In this case, similarly to the left start winning signal, the control unit 80 opens and closes the blades 40 and 41 once. Since it is well known that the control unit 80 outputs a payout signal to the payout control device 105 when the control unit 80 receives these start winning signals, here, after the payout signal is output, A description of the processing is omitted.

  Since the pachinko ball 110 is also launched between the opening and closing operations of the blades 40 and 41, the pachinko ball 110 flowing down the game area 25 is received by one of the blades 40 and 41 in the open position. For example, when it is received by the blade 40, it is received from the receiving port 45 into the center accessory 30. In this case, the accepted pachinko ball 110 is detected by the receiving ball detecting sensor 91, and the receiving signal is output to the control unit 80. In response to this, the control unit 80 operates the time measuring unit 81 to start measuring the elapsed time, and operates the counter 83 to count the number of received signals. In addition, since it is the same also in the case of the blade | wing 41, it abbreviate | omits here. Also, if two pachinko spheres 110 are accepted, the above process is performed only for the pachinko sphere 110 received first, and then (second) the pachinko sphere 110 received is No measurement process is performed.

  As shown in FIG. 8, the pachinko ball 110 received in the center accessory 30 from the receiving port 45 is guided by the guide passage 47 and then falls from the downstream end of the guide passage 47 toward the tray 55. To do. Since the saucer 55 is attached to the protruding portion 58 via the coil spring 59, the pachinko ball 110 falling toward the saucer 55 rebounds by colliding with the saucer 55 and falls toward the stage plate 56, or The impact at the time of collision is absorbed by the coil spring 59 and stays in the tray 55. However, due to the impact of the falling pachinko ball 110, the tray 55 swings in the A direction and the B direction, and moves up and down in the C direction and the D direction. It becomes easy to fall toward the stage board 56 from the saucer 55 under the influence of.

  In addition, when a plurality of pachinko balls 110 are received inside the center accessory 30 at different timings, even if the pachinko balls 110 have stayed in the receiving tray 55 first, the pachinko balls 110 that fall on the receiving tray 55 next. As a result of the collision with the receiving tray 55, the swing of the receiving tray 55 changes, and it becomes easy to fall toward the stage plate 56. For example, when the stage plate 56 is in the first inclined state, the pachinko ball 110 that has fallen on the stage plate 56 rolls toward the out passage 53 or the out port 52 (in the direction E), and finally the out port 52. To be recovered. The pachinko ball 110 collected by the out port 52 is detected by the collected ball detection sensor 94, and the collected signal is output to the control unit 80. This collection signal is counted by the counter 83.

  The signal determination unit 82 determines whether or not the count number of the collection signal matches the count number of the reception signal, and the timing unit 81 has received the pachinko ball 110 from the center accessory 30. The elapsed time is measured. For example, when all the accepted pachinko balls 110 fall from the tray 55 to the stage plate 56, these pachinko balls 110 are guided to the out port 52, so that the number of collection signals output from the collected ball detection sensor 94 is counted. Is equal to the count of the received signals. In this case, since the coincidence signal from the signal determination unit 82 is output to the control unit 80 earlier than the arrival signal from the time measuring unit 81, the control unit 80 stops the time counting by the time measuring unit 81.

  On the other hand, when the arrival signal from the timing unit 81 is output to the control unit 80 earlier than the coincidence signal from the signal determination unit 82, the control unit 80 operates the switching mechanism 60 to move the stage plate 56 to the first position. Switching from the first inclined state to the second inclined state. As shown in FIG. 9, when the pachinko ball 110 falls from the tray 55 after the stage plate 56 is switched to the second inclined state, the fallen pachinko ball 110 is directed toward the hit passage 51 or the hit port 50 (direction F). ) To enter the entrance 50. As a result, the longer the time that the pachinko ball 110 stays in the tray 55, the easier it is to enter the hitting hole. Therefore, it is possible to create a new gaming property that the pachinko ball 110 stays longer in the tray. In addition, in the conventional gaming machine, it is easy to perform an action of rolling the pachinko ball toward the hitting mouth by hitting the pachinko machine, but it is necessary to stay in the receiving tray 55 for a long time. Actions such as hitting a pachinko machine can be prevented.

  When the pachinko ball 110 enters the winning slot 50, the winning ball detection sensor 93 detects the pachinko ball 110 and outputs a winning signal to the control unit 80. In response to the winning signal, the signal determination unit 82 outputs a coincidence signal to the control unit 80 when it is determined that the count number of the winning signal and the collection signal matches the count number of the receiving signal. In response to the coincidence signal, the control unit 80 operates the switching mechanism 60 to switch the stage plate 56 from the second inclined state to the first inclined state. Along with this operation, the game state shifts from a normal state where a normal game is performed to a jackpot state.

  When shifting to the big hit state, since the blades 40 and 41 are opened longer than usual, a large number of pachinko balls 110 are received inside the center accessory 30, that is, a large number of pachinko balls 110 are paid out as prize balls. . Then, for example, when the opening / closing operation of the blades 40, 41 is performed a predetermined number of times, or when an end condition is satisfied, such as when the pachinko ball 110 received during one opening / closing operation of the blade 41 does not enter the hitting port 50 The jackpot state ends, and the normal state is entered.

  In the present embodiment, the coil spring 59 is disposed between the tray 55 and the protruding portion 58 so that the tray 55 is swung by the impact of the fallen pachinko ball 110. However, the present invention is not limited to this. It is also possible to attach the saucer 55 directly to the protrusion 58.

  In the present embodiment, all the received pachinko balls 110 are collected before the elapsed time from the time when the pachinko balls 110 are received from either of the receiving ports 45 and 46 into the center object reaches the reference time. However, it is not necessary to limit the stage plate 56 to the second inclined state, and the pachinko ball 110 remains inside the center accessory 30. Regardless of whether or not there is a reference time, the stage plate 56 may be switched from the first inclined state to the second inclined state.

  In the present embodiment, all the pachinko balls 110 staying on the tray 55 fall toward the stage plate 56, but some of the pachinko balls 110 staying on the tray 55 are directed from the tray 55 toward the stage plate 56. Some do not fall. For example, if the reference time elapses, the pachinko ball 110 falling toward the stage plate 56 always rolls toward the contact passage 51 or the contact port 50, so that the pachinko ball 110 remains on the tray 55 even after the reference time has elapsed. Need not be retained. In addition, the pachinko ball 110 continues to stay in the tray 55, that is, remains in the center accessory 30, so when the stage plate 56 is switched from the first inclined state to the second inclined state, or It is also conceivable to forcibly tilt the tray 55 after switching. Hereinafter, the same members as those in the present embodiment will be described with the same reference numerals. As shown in FIG. 10, a pressing piece (pressing member) 115 protruding from the upper surface of the stage plate 56 is provided at the back end of the stage plate 56, and when the stage plate 56 is switched to the second inclined state, the pressing piece 115. The lower surface of the saucer 55 is pressed with the tip of. In response to this pressing, the tray 55 is tilted, and the pachinko balls 110 staying in the tray 55 are forcibly dropped toward the stage plate 56.

  Further, as a method of dropping the pachinko ball 110 staying in the receiving tray 55, a pressing piece 115 is provided on the stage plate 56, and when the stage plate 56 is switched to the second inclined state, the receiving tray 55 is inclined by the pressing piece 115. In addition, the following methods are also included. As shown in FIG. 11, the projecting portion 58 includes a fixed portion 120 and a movable portion 121, and a tray 55 is attached to the movable portion 121. Further, an inclination mechanism 122 for inclining the movable part 121 is provided inside the fixed part 120, and the inclination mechanism 122 is operated when or after the stage plate 56 is switched from the first inclination state to the second inclination state. Then, the movable part 121 is inclined in the H direction. Thereafter, the movable portion 121 is rotated in the I direction by the tilt mechanism 122. In addition, as the tilting mechanism 122, a mechanism using a solenoid or a motor as a drive source and using a link or a cam can be used.

  In the present embodiment, the pachinko ball 110 received from the receiving ports 45 and 46 is dropped directly from the guide passages 47 and 48 onto the receiving tray 55. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and as shown in FIG. For example, it is also possible to arrange the croon 132 including the drop holes 130 and 131 above the tray 55. For example, when the pachinko ball 110 that has reached the croon 132 enters the drop hole 130, it is dropped directly toward the stage plate 56, and when it enters the drop hole 131, it is dropped toward the tray 55. According to this, the position where the pachinko ball 110 is dropped can be distributed. Further, by attaching a coil spring (attenuating member) 134 having an inner diameter that is not less than the diameter of the pachinko ball 110 and not more than 1.5 times the diameter of the pachinko ball 110 to the lower part of the drop hole 131 that drops toward the tray 55. By attenuating the momentum of the pachinko sphere 110 falling from the drop hole 131, the pachinko sphere 110 falling toward the tray 55 can be reliably retained in the tray 55.

  Further, when the croon 132 is disposed above the receiving tray 55, the position of the croon 132 can be moved up and down. In this case, a position variation mechanism 135 is provided, and the cruiser 132 is moved up and down by the position variation mechanism 135. Note that, for example, the pachinko ball 110 received inside the center object is detected by the receiving ball detection sensors 91 and 92, so that the game control device 70 receives the receiving signals from the receiving ball detection sensors 91 and 92. To start timing. And when fixed time passes, the control part (fluctuation control means) 80 of the game control apparatus 70 operates the position fluctuation | variation mechanism 135, and moves the clown 132 below, or moves it upwards. For example, when moving the croon 132 downward (in the J direction) after a certain time has elapsed, the pachinko ball 110 received at the timing when the blades 40 and 41 move to the closed position is transferred from the croon 132 to the tray 55. Since the falling distance is shortened, the impact when dropping to the tray 55 is small, and the amplitude at which the tray 55 swings is also small. According to this, the probability that the pachinko ball 110 stays in the receiving tray 55 increases as the timing at which the pachinko balls 110 are received from the receiving ports 45 and 46 is delayed.

  On the other hand, when moving the croon 132 upward (in the K direction), the distance between the croon 132 and the tray 55 before a certain time elapses is shorter than the distance after the certain time elapses. In this case, the earlier the timing at which the pachinko ball 110 is received from the receiving ports 45 and 46, the higher the probability that the pachinko ball 110 will stay in the receiving tray 55. According to this, by moving the croon 132 in the vertical direction, the probability of staying in the tray 55 can be changed, and the time of staying in the tray 55 can be changed, and as a result, the probability of entering the hitting port 50 is increased. Can be varied. In addition to moving the croon up and down, it is also possible to dispose the stay member having a funnel shape above the receiving tray and to move the stay member up and down.

  In accordance with this, it is also possible to vary the time for which the blades are opened. In this case, for example, if the pachinko ball wins the starting chucker, or if the winning time is changed by lottery after the end of the big hit state, and the winning is won, the time for the blades to be released Lengthen. Thereby, if the pachinko ball 110 is received at the timing when the blades 40 and 41 are closed, the time until the stage plate 56 is switched from the first inclined state to the second inclined state is short, and thus the probability of entering the hitting hole increases. .
