Hereinafter, members constituting the pachinko gaming machine 1 will be described in detail.

[Outer frame]
The outer frame 2 will be described mainly with reference to FIGS. 8 is a front view of the outer frame 2, FIG. 9 is a rear view of the outer frame 2, FIG. 10 is a perspective view as seen from the front of the outer frame 2, and FIG. 1A is a cross-sectional view taken along line B-B of the front view, and FIG. 3C is a cross-sectional view of side frame plate 12 cut along the line A-A of the front view.

  The outer frame 2 connects the upper and lower upper frame plates 10 and 11 and the left and right side frame plates 12 and 13 with corner metal fittings 14 to 16 and upper support metal fittings 17 for connecting respective end portions. It can be assembled into a square shape. Specifically, the upper part on the open side is connected by screwing the upper end and rear face of the upper frame plate 10 and the corner metal fitting 14 passed to the outer side and rear face of the end portion of the side frame plate 13 to open and open. The lower part on the side is connected by screwing a corner metal fitting 15 that is passed to the bottom face and rear face of the lower frame plate 11 and the outer side face and rear face of the end part of the side frame plate 13, and the upper part on the pivot support side is The upper support fitting 17 that is passed between the end upper surface of the upper frame plate 10 and the end outer surface of the side frame plate 12 is connected by screwing, and the lower part on the pivot support side is the bottom surface of the end of the lower frame plate 11.

In addition, an urging spring 85 is provided between the fixed bearing member 83 and the rotation operation member 74 so as to be provided around the rotation shaft 75. It is designed to return to the position. Further, a switch contact convex portion 87 is provided on the outside of the shaft fitting hole 86 of the rotation operation member 74, and the switch contact is made when the rotation operation member 74 is in the original position by the urging force of the urging spring 85. When the protrusion 87 comes into contact with the actuator of the micro switch 82 to turn off the micro switch 82 and the rotation operation member 74 is rotated by the player, the switch contact protrusion 87 is separated from the actuator of the micro switch 82 and is turned ON. And Further, since the single button 81 can swing while the micro switch 82 is ON, the actuator of the micro switch 82 can be turned OFF by pressing the single button 81. . Note that the outer periphery of the rotation operation member 74 is provided with conductive plating, and the touch sensor 80 detects contact when the player contacts the rotation operation member 74. Then, when the player rotates the rotation operation member 74 and the micro switch 82 is turned on and the touch sensor 80 detects contact, a later-described launch motor 344 (see FIG. 39) of the hitting ball launcher 300 is provided. It is designed to rotate.

  Further, the cam 76 fixed to the tip of the rotating shaft 75 is formed in a ball shape, and presses the cam contact portion 107 of the slide body 93 (see FIG. 21) of the joint unit 90 described later according to the rotation of the rotating shaft 75.

It is possible.

  Then, the joint unit 90 which is the other component of the handle device 70 connected to the operation handle portion 71 will be described next. As shown in FIG. 21, the joint unit 90 includes a storage body 91, a slide body 93 stored in the storage body 91 and slidable in the lateral direction, and a storage body in a state in which the slide body 93 is stored. And a cover body 92 covering the front surface of 91.

  The storage body 91 is formed in a rectangular parallelepiped box shape whose front surface is open, and a cam insertion opening 94 is formed on the rear surface thereof. In addition, two mounting boss holes 95 for attaching the joint unit 90 to the back surface of the door plate 5 are formed on the upper side and the lower side of the housing 91 so as to protrude outward, and the cover body 92 is formed on both the left and right sides. A mounting hole 96 for mounting is attached to the outside. Further, the inner side surfaces of the upper side and the lower side of the container 91 are in contact with the outer side surfaces of the upper and lower sides of the slide body 93 so that the slide body 93 can move smoothly. (In FIG. 21B, only the lower-side abutment convex portion 97 is shown, and the upper-side abutment convex portion 97 is not shown).

  The cover body 92 is formed in a rectangular parallelepiped box shape with an open rear surface, and a cylindrical boss-shaped guide protrusion 104 protruding from the front surface of the slide body 93 is inserted on the front surface thereof to guide the movement of the slide body 93. Two guide horizontal grooves 98, an insertion horizontal hole 99 through which the slide protrusion 102 protruding from the front surface of the slide body 93 is inserted, and a rear end of the rear grip member 73 of the operation handle portion 71. A wiring opening 100 is formed in which the rear end portion of the wiring through cylinder member 108 inserted from the insertion opening 94 faces. Further, mounting holes 101 corresponding to the mounting holes 96 of the housing 91 are formed on the left and right sides of the cover body 92, and screws (not shown) are attached in a state where the mounting holes 96 and 101 are in correspondence with each other. The cover body 92 can be attached to the storage body 91 by being fastened.

  Further, a slide body 93 that is housed in a space formed by the housing body 91 and the cover body 92 so as to be movable in the left-right direction is formed in a rectangular parallelepiped box shape having a smaller rear surface than the housing body 91. On the front surface of the front wall, two guide projections 104 inserted into the guide lateral groove 98 and a slide projection piece 102 inserted through the insertion lateral hole 99 project. The slide projecting piece 102 is formed in a thin plate shape, and the traveling direction at the time of sliding is an inclined side 103. In addition, a cylindrical member through opening 105 through which the wiring through cylindrical member 108 passes is formed between the two guide protrusions 104 in the front wall of the slide body 93. The tubular member through-opening 105 is a horizontally long rectangular opening so that the wiring through tubular member 108 in a fixed state does not interfere with the sliding of the slide body 93. On the other hand, on the back surface of the front wall of the slide body 93, a cam engaging recess 106 in which a cam 76 fixed to the tip of the rotating shaft 75 is housed is formed in an inverted L shape by a rib. Then, a vertical part of a part of the rib forming the cam engaging recess 106 is formed as an arc-shaped rib so that the cam engaging recess 106 protrudes into the cam engaging recess 106, and the cam contact part 107 that abuts the cam 76. It has become.

  To assemble the storage body 91, the slide body 93, and the cover body 92 described above, the slide body 93 is stored in the storage body 91, and the cover body 92 is covered from the front in that state. When covering, the guide protrusion 104 is covered so as to pass through the guide lateral groove 98 and the slide protrusion 102 is inserted through the insertion lateral hole 99. After the covering, the mounting holes 101 and 96 are screwed with screws, and the assembly of the joint unit 90 is completed with the slide body 93 housed inside. Then, as shown in FIG. 23, the joint unit 90 assembled as described above is attached to the mounting recess 110 (see FIG. 6) formed corresponding to the mounting position of the operation handle 71 on the back surface of the door frame 5. And the mounting boss hole 95 is screwed with a screw or the like to attach the joint unit 90 to the door frame 5.

  As described above, the operation handle 71 is inserted and supported from the front side of the door frame 5 to the handle support cylinder 5a, and the joint unit 90 is attached to the mounting recess 110 from the back side of the door frame 5 as shown in FIG. As shown, the cam 76 fixed to the tip of the rotating shaft 75 is housed in the cam engaging recess 106 of the slide body 93. In this case, the operation handle portion 71 is attached to be inclined in a plan view, so that the cam 76 is also inclined with respect to the vertical surface of the door frame 5, but the engagement recess 106 is a predetermined space in the front-rear direction. Since it has a width, the entire inclined cam 76 can be accommodated in the space of the engaging recess 106. Further, as shown in FIG. 22 (A), the storage state is such that the rotation center of the cam 76 is located on the side of the cam contact portion 107, and the tip of the slanted cam 76 is below the cam engagement recess 196. It is located in the space.

  Thus, when the player rotates the rotation operation member 74 of the operation handle portion 71, the rotation shaft 75 rotates and the cam 76 rotates accordingly. As shown in FIG. The slide body 93 is moved in one direction (in the case of FIG. 22, in the right direction in the figure) by the contact between the cam contact portion 107 of the engagement recess 106 and one outer surface of the cam 76 (the outer surface in front of the rotation). Move the slide. That is, the rotational movement of the rotary shaft 75 is converted into the sliding movement of the slide body 93. For this reason, the distance S1 between the rotation center of the cam 76 in the initial state (before rotation) shown in FIG. The distance S2 is greater than the distance S1 by the rotation. That is, the slide projecting piece 102 of the slide body 93 slides by a distance of “S2-S1”. Then, the slide movement of the slide projecting piece 102 of the joint unit 90 is transmitted to the slide member 350 of the hitting ball launching apparatus 300 as shown in FIGS. The tension of the striking ball 336 can be adjusted by adjusting the tension shown in FIG. 39), thereby obtaining the ball striking force desired by the player. The relationship between the handle device 90 and the ball hitting device 300 will be described in detail after the ball hitting device 300 is described.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 25, a rail mounting boss 163 protrudes from the central portion of the front surface of the plate portion 160 toward the open end portion at a predetermined interval, and the launch rail 164 ( 29) is fixed with screws. Further, a rail connection member 165 protrudes from the front surface of the plate portion 160 corresponding to the tip position of the launch rail 164, and when the game board 4 is installed in the game board installation recess 159, the inner running of the game board 4 is performed. It is adjacent to the connecting passage 259 (see FIG. 34) which is the downstream end of the surface 252. Further, at the side position of the rail connecting member 165 (position opposite to the firing rail 164), the upper end of an elliptical game board fixture 168 (see FIG. 29) for fixing the lower part of the game board 4 is provided. A fixture mounting boss 166 for mounting is projected, and a stopper 167 is projected diagonally below. That is, the game board fixing tool 168 is provided so as to be rotatable about the fixing tool mounting boss 166, and rotates in the clockwise direction in a state where the game board 4 is placed on the game board mounting portion 161 to play the game. The board fixture 168 is pressed against the front surface of the game board 4 to fix the game board 4. Moreover, when removing a game board, it can carry out simply by turning the game board fixing tool 168 counterclockwise and removing. In this case, the game board fixing tool 168 is prevented from being rotated counterclockwise by the stopper 167.

  Further, the lower portion of the open side of the plate portion 160 is formed with a rectangular parallelepiped launcher mounting portion 169 that protrudes in a bulging shape toward the front side (which is concave when viewed from the back side). The ball striking device 300 is fixed to the mounting portion 169 from the back surface of the main body frame 3. This will be described in detail later. A handle connecting window 172 for accommodating a slide member 350 (see FIG. 43) associated with the slide projecting piece 102 of the joint unit 90 is formed on the front wall portion of the launcher mounting portion 169 described above. A shaft hole 178 is formed at the position adjacent to the connecting window 172 so that the end face of the bearing 338 (see FIG. 39) of the ball striking rod 336 faces. In addition, the upper wall portion of the launcher mounting portion 169 is formed with a notch-penetrating opening 171 for projecting the hitting ball basket 336 of the hitting ball launching apparatus 300 upward. Is formed with a cylinder lock through hole 170 through which the cylinder lock 570 of the lock device 560 passes.

  On the other hand, on the back surface of the plate portion 160, as shown in FIG. 26, a ball discharge passage 173 extending from the upper portion on the shaft support side toward the central portion of the plate portion 160 and then downward is formed. . The ball discharge passage 173 is for discharging a ball discharged from a ball connection passage 515 (see FIG. 29), which will be described later, from below the pachinko gaming machine 1 to the inside of the island. In addition, a cylindrical guide protrusion 174 protrudes rearward above the launcher mounting portion 169 described above, and a guide hole 675 (see FIG. 71) of a substrate unit 650 described later is inserted into the guide protrusion 174. This facilitates the mounting of the board unit 650. In addition, attachment holes 175 for attaching the board unit 650 with screws are formed on the left and right and upper and lower sides of the plate part 160, and the attachment pieces 671 of the board unit 650 are associated with the attachment holes 175 and fastened with screws. In addition, a launching device mounting boss 177 for mounting the hitting ball launching device 300 is projected rearwardly inside the concave shape of the launching device mounting portion 169, and further, the lowermost end portion on the open side is shown in FIG. As shown, when the main body frame 3 is closed with respect to the outer frame 2, a guide protrusion 176 that guides the closing operation of the main body frame 3 while abutting against the upper surface of the lower front cover plate 6 protrudes rearward. ing.

  In addition to the configuration described above, the plate portion 160 has a ball-out connection opening 179 that is an opening at the upstream end of the ball-out discharge passage 173 formed on the upper surface of the end portion on the shaft support side, as shown in FIG. Yes. The downstream end of the beading connection passage 515 is connected to the beading connection opening 179. Further, the portion adjacent to the ball-opening connection opening 179 is horizontal so that a full unit mounting portion 180 for mounting a full unit 520 (see FIG. 29), which will be described in detail later, is orthogonal to the plate portion 160. A unit engagement groove 181 that engages with an engagement piece 539 (see FIG. 59) of the full unit 520 is formed in the front portion of the full unit mounting portion 180. Further, as shown in FIG. 29, an outlet for blocking a prize ball discharged from the outlet 536 of the full tank unit 520 when the door frame 5 is opened is provided on the front surface of the plate part 160 in front of the full tank unit mounting part 180. An opening / closing device 224 is provided. The outlet opening / closing device 224 will not be described in detail, but when the door frame 5 is closed, the opening / closing plate is lowered by a lever that contacts the back surface of the door frame 5, but the door plate 5 is opened. Then, the contact with the lever disappears, so that the opening / closing plate rises and closes the outlet 536. For this reason, even when the door frame 5 is opened, the prize balls stored in the full tank unit 520 do not fall down from the outlet 536.

  Next, the configuration of the game board mounting recess 159 will be described. As shown in FIG. 25 and FIG. 29, the game board mounting recess 159 has a front side face portion that does not store the game board 4 in the upper side portion and a part of the open side, and the upper side face portion. In the open side, there are three upper, middle, and lower door hook holes 199 through which the glass door hook 601 of the lock device 560 penetrates. In other words, the lock device 560 is fixed to the back surface of the heel surface portion on the open side.

  Thus, the game board mounting recess 159 includes a first side wall 190 that is provided around the inner side surface on the pivot support side, the upper side portion and the open side surface portion on the open side, and a rear side from the first side wall 190. A second side wall 191 provided around, a third side wall 192 provided rearward from the second side wall 191, and a fourth side wall 193 provided rearward from the third side wall 192; Thus, the left and right sides of the main body frame 3 and the rear part of the upper side are formed in a concave shape. The first side wall 190 to the fourth side wall 193 are formed so that the upper side and the right side (sides on the shaft support side) extend straight backward with a step when viewed from the back, whereas the left side ( The open side is formed in a stepped shape (see FIG. 5) that is inclined inwardly from the first side wall 190 toward the fourth side wall 193. This is because the rear end of the fourth side wall 194 is opened when the main body frame 3 is opened when the first side wall 190 to the fourth side wall 193 on the left side (open side) are straightly formed rearward. May be in contact with the inner surface of the side frame plate 13 of the outer frame 2 so that it cannot be opened smoothly. Therefore, the first side wall surface 190 to the fourth side wall 193 on the open side are smoothly opened by inclining inside. It is something that can be done. At the same time, the lock device 560 is attached along the first side wall 190 on the open side. Therefore, in order to form the lock mounting hole 198, the fourth side wall 194 is formed in an inclined step shape from the first side wall 190 on the open side. Further, the step size between the first side wall 190 to the fourth side wall 193 must be in contact with the periphery of the back surface of the game board 4 to be described later. For this reason, it is formed with a somewhat large step, but the other steps are extremely small steps.

  The side walls 190 to 193 described above are formed to have depth width dimensions d1, d2, d3, and d4, respectively, as shown in FIG. 27. In this embodiment, d1 + d2 + d3 + d4 = about 90 mm. . In particular, the width dimension d1 of the first side wall 190 corresponds to the thickness of the game board 4, and the game board is formed in the space formed by the remaining second side wall 191, third side wall 192, and fourth side wall 193. The rear projecting portions of various gaming devices provided in 4 are accommodated. In particular, in the case of the present embodiment, as described below, the second side wall 191, the third side wall 192, and the fourth side wall 193 are formed up to a position corresponding to the peripheral portion of the game board 4. Since the size of the space is secured, for example, even when a gaming device in which the liquid crystal display screen occupies almost the entire area of the gaming board 4 is attached, the rearward protruding portion of such a gaming device can be easily stored. Is something that can be done.

  In addition, as shown in FIG. 26, the left rear wall 194, the upper rear wall 195, and the right rear wall 196 are inward from the rear end side of the fourth side wall 193 on the left side, upper side, and right side when viewed from the back side. It protrudes toward you. The right rear wall 196 has a flat front surface (see FIG. 25), and a ball path unit 420 and a prize ball unit 450, which will be described later, are detachably attached to the rear surface thereof. Therefore, it is sufficient for the protruding width to the inside of the right rear wall 196 to have a width for attaching the ball path unit 420 and the prize ball unit 450. Further, the upper rear wall 195 has a flat front surface (see FIG. 25), and a tank rail member 410 (to be described later) is attached to the rear surface of the upper rear wall 195, so that the lower end side is inclined. Accordingly, it is sufficient for the width of the protrusion to the inside of the upper rear wall 195 to be the height width of the tank rail member 410 attached in an inclined manner. Furthermore, the front surface of the right rear wall 914 has a flat plate shape (see FIG. 25), and a cover body supporting cylinder portion 220 that pivotally supports a cover body 750 described later is formed on the rear surface. Therefore, it is sufficient that the projecting width to the inside of the right rear wall 194 has a width dimension that forms the cover body supporting cylinder portion 220.

  As described above, the front surfaces of the left rear wall 194, the upper rear wall 195, and the right rear wall 196 that project inward from the rear end side of the fourth side wall 193 are formed in a flat plate shape, and this flat plate portion Corresponds to the peripheral portion of the game board 4, and as described above, the second side wall 191, the third side wall 192, and the fourth side wall 193 reach the position corresponding to the peripheral portion of the game board 4. Since the size of the space to be formed is ensured, for example, even when a gaming device in which the liquid crystal display screen occupies almost the whole area of the gaming board 4 is attached, the rearward protruding portion of such a gaming device Can be stored easily. The inside of the left rear wall 194, the upper rear wall 195, and the right rear wall 196 is a rear opening 222, and the rear opening 222 is closed so as to be opened and closed by a cover body 750 described later. .

  Next, a more detailed configuration of the game board installation recess 159 will be described. As described above, the door hook hole 199 through which the glass door hook 601 of the lock device 560 penetrates is formed in the upper flat portion on the open side. The lower three places are opened, but a lock locking hole 198 (see FIG. 26) is formed above and below the upper and lower door hook holes 199 to be engaged with a locking projection 564 described later of the lock device 560. ing.

The rocking piece 321 is attached to the firing base frame 301 by being fixed to the convex portion 352. The attached swing piece 321 swings at the upper part around the lower end as the slide member 350 slides.

  Further, a horizontally long bowl-shaped slide bar 326 is attached to the upper front surface of the metal plate 315 so as to be slidable in the left-right direction. That is, an L-shaped guide locking piece 327 protruding from the rear upper part of the slide rod 326 is engaged with the through hole 318a of the metal plate 315, and the guide elongated hole 329 formed in front of the slide rod 326 The guide bush 330 having the set screw 331 is passed through, and the set screw 331 is fixed to the set hole 312. The slide rod 326 is slidably mounted on the firing base frame 301 via the metal plate 315 by the guide locking piece 327 and the through hole 318a, and the guide long hole 329 and the guide bush 330. The slide rod 326 has a contacted portion 328 that contacts the contact portion 324 of the swing piece 321 described above at one end (rear end), and one end of the biasing spring 333 at the other end (front end). A spring locking portion 332 for projecting the locking ring 334 is projected.

  A bearing cylinder 302 of the launch base frame 301 to which the metal plate 315 is attached protrudes from the through hole 316. The bearing cylinder 302 is fitted so that the bearing 338 of the hitting ball 336 does not fall off. The lower end portion of the hitting ball 336 is fixed to the shaft of the bearing 338 and at the same time, the base plate 339 is fixed. The base plate 339 is provided with an operating piece abutting portion 342 that abuts on the operating piece 308 on the front rear surface side thereof, and is used to latch the locking ring 335 at the other end of the biasing spring 333 on the front front surface. A spring locking portion 341 is provided in a protruding manner, and a motor abutting protrusion 340 that engages with and disengages from the motor cam 346 of the firing motor 344 is provided on the rear front surface thereof. A synthetic resin tip 337 is fixed to the upper end of the hitting ball 336, and this tip 337 is a firing position formed by a lower end portion of the firing rail 164 and a firing position stopper 359 fixed above the tip. It is approaching to invade.

  On the other hand, a firing motor 344 housed in a motor cover 343 is attached to the motor mounting boss 311 of the firing base frame 301 described above. More specifically, as shown in FIG. 40 (B), the motor cover 343 includes a cylindrical portion formed so as to accommodate the firing motor 344 therein, and an enlarged front portion of the cylindrical portion. And an anti-rotation preventing cam 347 and a motor cam at the tip of the motor shaft 345 of the firing motor 344, which are integrally formed with an attachment portion in which an attachment fixing hole 348 for attachment to the boss 311 is formed. 346 is fixed. A large number of reverse teeth are formed on the outer periphery of the reverse rotation prevention cam 347. The reverse rotation prevention cam 347 is engaged with a stopper piece 349 (see FIG. 41) fixed to the stopper piece mounting boss 349a so as to be swingable. Prevents reverse rotation. This is to prevent the motor cam 346 from rotating in the opposite direction and causing the motor cam 346 and the motor contact protrusion 340 to mesh with each other to prevent a failure that prevents the ball striking device 300 from being driven. Further, the motor cam 346 is formed in a ball shape, and reciprocates the hitting ball rod 336 while being engaged with and disengaged from the motor contact protrusion 340 as the firing motor 344 rotates. When the motor cover 343 is attached to the motor attachment boss 313, as shown in FIG. 38A, the main structure of the hitting ball launching apparatus 300 is covered as seen from the rear surface.

  Incidentally, as shown in FIG. 43, the slide member 350 housed in the slide member housing space 306 and slidably moving is formed in a rectangular parallelepiped shape with the rear open, and an elliptical oval convex portion 351 projects on the front surface thereof. Further, a circular connecting convex portion 352 is projected from the rear position of the elliptical convex portion 351. Further, on both the upper and lower surfaces, slide contact protrusions 353 having an arc cross section are provided at both ends so as to easily slide in the slide member storage space 306. On the other hand, the space of the slide member 350 formed in a rectangular parallelepiped shape is an insertion space 354 into which the slide projecting piece 102 of the joint unit 90 provided at the lower back of the door frame 5 is inserted. Thus, the insertion space 354 has a first inclined surface 355 formed on the front side of the side wall in the sliding direction, and protrudes inward from the inside of the upper surface and the lower surface slightly toward the rear of the first inclined surface 355. A sandwiching piece 356 is formed and provided with a predetermined interval between the tips. A second inclined surface 357 is also formed on the front side of the sandwiching piece 356, which is inclined like a letter C when viewed from the side. Thus, in the state where the slide projecting piece 102 is inserted into the insertion space 354, as shown in FIG. 43B, one end side of the slide projecting piece 102 on the inclined side 103 side abuts against the front side wall in the sliding direction. In this state, it is inserted between the upper and lower clamping pieces 356. In addition, although the space part 358 is formed in the side of the insertion space 354 of the slide member 350, this space part 358 does not necessarily have a function.

  Thus, the slide member 350 configured as described above is in an elliptical shape formed on the bottom surface of the slide member storage space 306 as shown in FIG. The insertion space 354 is formed so as to face the connection opening 314, and the slide member 350 is in contact with one inner wall of the slide member storage space 306 (in FIG. Although they are shown in contact with each other in a normal state, they are in contact with the inner wall of the right space.

  First, the relationship of adjusting the strength of the urging spring 333 of the slide member 350 and the hitting ball launching apparatus 300 will be described. The slide member 350 has a right position at the initial position inside the slide member storage space 306 (see FIG. 40A). 41, the swing piece 321 connected to the connecting projection 352 of the slide member 350 is in a substantially vertical state. For this reason, the slide rod 326 in contact with the swing piece 321 is also urged in one direction (left side in FIG. 41) by the biasing force of the bias spring 333 and the contact portion 324 of the swing piece 321. In this state, the contacted portion 328 of the slide rod 326 is in contact. In this state, since the urging spring 333 is not tensioned, even if the hitting ball 336 is reciprocatingly rotated following the rotation of the firing motor 344, the return force of the hitting ball 336 is weak, and the hit ball at the firing position is not elastic. Even if issued, the game area 255 of the game board 4 is not reached.

  On the other hand, when the slide member 350 moves in the other direction from the initial position in the slide member storage space 306 (when moved toward the left inner wall in FIG. 40A), as shown in FIG. Since the swing piece 321 swings and tilts about the shaft hole 322 at the lower end, the slide rod 326 is moved in the other direction (right side in FIG. 42) by the contact between the contact portion 324 and the contacted portion 328. Slide towards you. Then, the urging spring 333 locked to the spring locking portion 332 of the slide rod 326 is also tensioned and extended. In this state, since the biasing spring 333 is tensioned, the returning force of the hitting ball 336 when the hitting ball 336 is reciprocatingly rotated following the rotation of the shooting motor 344 increases, and the hitting ball at the shooting position is The game is strongly ejected and reaches the game area 255 of the game board 4. The strength of the impact force of the hit ball can be adjusted according to the amount of slide of the slide member 350 in the slide member storage space 306.

  As described above, by moving the slide member 350, it is possible to adjust the elasticity of the hitting ball launching device 300. This is interlocked with the movement of the slide body 93 of the joint unit 90 that moves in accordance with the turning operation of the moving operation member 74. This point will be described with reference to FIG. 18, FIG. 19, FIG. 23, and FIG.

  As described above, when the rotation operation member 74 of the operation handle portion 71 of the handle device 70 is rotated, the slanted cam 76 fixed to the tip of the rotation shaft 75 is also rotated. 93 slides in the storage body 91 in one direction (leftward in FIG. 24). For this reason, the slide protrusion 102 protruding from the front surface of the slide body 93 also slides in the same direction. When the door frame 5 is closed with respect to the main body frame 3, the slide projecting piece 102 of the slide body 93 penetrates the connection opening 314 formed in the launcher mounting portion 169 of the main body frame 5 and inserts the slide member 350. It is inserted into the space 354. The insertion state in this case is a state in which one end side on the inclined side 103 side of the slide projecting piece 102 is in contact with the side wall in the sliding direction and is inserted between the upper and lower clamping pieces 356 as described above. (State shown in FIG. 24A). Accordingly, when the slide protrusion 102 slides in one direction, the slide member 350 also slides in the same direction. In the drawing, the state shown in FIG. 24A is changed to the state shown in FIG. At this time, as described above, the slide rod 326 also slides as the slide member 350 slides, so that the biasing force of the biasing spring 333 can be adjusted. That is, the resilience of the hit ball of the hitting ball launcher 300 can be adjusted by rotating the turning operation member 74 of the handle device 70.

  By the way, in this embodiment, since the handle device 70 is provided on the door frame 5 and the hitting ball launching device 300 is provided on the main body frame 3, the slide protrusion 102 of the handle device 70 is opened each time the door frame 5 is opened and closed. And the slide member 350 of the hitting ball launching apparatus 300 are linked or separated. However, in the present embodiment, as described above, by closing the door frame 5 with respect to the main body frame 3, the slide projecting piece 102 is automatically inserted into the insertion space 354 of the slide member 350 and the handle device 70. The hitting ball launching device 300 is linked, and conversely, by opening the door frame 5 with respect to the main body frame 3, the slide protrusion 102 is separated from the insertion space 354 and separates the handle device 70 and the hitting ball hitting device 300. Therefore, the handle device 70 and the ball striking device 300 can be linked and separated very easily as the door frame 5 is opened and closed. In particular, when the slide projecting piece 102 is inserted into the insertion space 354, even if the position of the slide projecting piece 102 is slightly shifted in the vertical direction, the second inclination of the sandwiching piece 356 projecting in the insertion space 354 is provided. The slide protrusion 102 is smoothly inserted into the holding position by the surface 357.

  In some cases, the player may stuff the padding operation member 74 of the operation handle portion 71 and fix it at a position rotated to some extent. 5 may be opened and closed. Even in such a case, when the door frame 5 is opened, there is no problem because the sliding protrusion 102 is merely separated from the insertion space 354. However, when the door frame 5 is closed, FIG. As shown, although the position of the slide protrusion 102 is slightly shifted in one direction (a state shifted to the left in FIG. 24), the inclined side 103 of the slide protrusion 102 and the first inclination of the slide member 350 are shown. Due to the cooperative action with the surface 355, the slide projecting piece 102 and the slide member 350 are finally engaged while the slide member 350 is moved in one direction in accordance with the closing operation of the door frame 5. That is, in the present embodiment, the operation handle device 70 and the hitting ball launching device 300 can be linked regardless of the rotation position of the rotation operation member 74 of the operation handle portion 71. It is.

<Prize ball tank>
Next, the prize ball tank 400 attached to the upper back of the main body frame 3 will be described mainly with reference to FIG. 44 is a perspective view (A), a plan view (B), and a side view (C) of the prize ball tank 400. FIG. As described above, the prize ball tank 400 is detachably attached to the tank attachment groove 200 (see FIG. 28) formed in the upper part of the back surface of the main body frame 3. Thus, the prize ball tank 400 is formed in a rectangular box shape, a notch 401 is formed on the rear wall thereof, a first inclined bottom surface 402 whose bottom surface is inclined from one side to the other, and a discharge port 404 described below. And a second inclined bottom surface 403 inclined toward the surface. Further, a discharge port 404 is formed at the lower end of the second inclined bottom surface 403, and the discharge port 404 is formed so as to protrude outward from the front wall of the prize ball tank 400. In addition, mounting flanges 407 that engage with the tank mounting groove 200 are formed on both outer sides of the rear wall of the prize ball tank 400, and the main body frame 3 has the rear surface on the bottom side of the prize ball tank 400. In the case of a ball for mounting a ball leveling member 413 (described later) on the lower portion of the front wall on the upstream side of the prize ball tank 400, mounting contact pieces 405, 406 that are mounted on the fourth side wall 193 are projected. A mounting shaft 409 is projected. Further, an overflow prevention member 408 for preventing the ball from jumping is detachably attached to the front wall and the upstream side wall of the prize ball tank 400 excluding the discharge port 404.

  In the prize ball tank 400 configured as described above, the mounting flange 407 is attached to the tank mounting groove 200 of the main body frame 3 so as to be inserted from above, and the mounting contact pieces 405 and 406 are attached to the main body frame 3. It abuts on the fourth side wall 194. As a result, the prize ball tank 400 is attached to the upper part of the back surface of the main body frame 3. In this attached state, as shown in FIG. 32, the notch 401 on the rear wall and the back surface of the main body frame 3 are formed. The relief recess 201 communicates, and as shown in FIG. 5, the discharge port 404 faces the upstream end of the tank rail member 410 described below. Therefore, in the prize ball tank 400, the tank portion for storing the balls (the storage space portion corresponding to the first inclined bottom surface 402 and the second inclined bottom surface 403) is the second side wall 191 to the fourth side wall 193 of the main body frame 3. It is formed to be slightly narrower than the width up to and is placed on top of the side walls 191 to 193. Thus, as described above, the first side wall 190 to the fourth side wall 193 of the main body frame 3 are formed deep so as to cover the rearward projecting space of the peripheral portion of the game board 4, and thus the side wall 191. Although the depth of the storage part of the prize ball tank 400 placed on the upper part of ˜193 is shallower than that of the conventional storage tank, even if the prize ball is stored and the weight increases, the prize ball tank Since the entire 400 is supported by the side walls 192 to 193 of the main body frame 3, the stored spheres can be smoothly guided to the discharge port 404 without deformation of the inclined bottom surfaces 402 and 402. Further, since the discharge port 404 is provided at a position outside the front wall of the storage unit, the flow of the sphere stored in the storage unit is configured to flow from the second inclined bottom surface 403 toward the outside. ing. For this reason, as compared with the prize ball tank which provided an opening in a part of the inclined bottom surface as a discharge port as in the prior art, a ball crushing portion for eliminating clogging is not formed in the storage portion in the vicinity of the discharge port. A structure in which clogging is difficult to occur can be achieved.

<Tank rail material>
The tank rail member 410 disposed below the prize ball tank 400 will be described mainly with reference to FIGS. 45 to 48. 45 is a perspective view of the relationship between the prize ball tank 400, the tank rail member 410, the ball passage unit 420, the prize ball unit 450, and the full tank unit 520 as seen from the back side of the pachinko gaming machine 1. FIG. 47 is a perspective view of the relationship between the prize ball tank 400, the tank rail member 410, the ball passage unit 420, the prize ball unit 450, and the full tank unit 520 as seen from the front side of the pachinko gaming machine 1, and FIG. FIG. 4 is a cross-sectional view (A) and a plan view (B) showing the relationship between the downstream portion of the tank rail member 410 and the upstream portion of the ball passage unit 420.

  As described above, the tank rail member 410 is detachably attached to the rail locking grooves 203 and 204 (see FIG. 26) of the upper rear wall 195 of the main body frame 3. Therefore, the tank rail member 410 is provided with a plurality of locking projections 418 that are inserted from above into the rail locking groove 203 on the left and right sides and the lower side of the side surface on the rear surface side, and the upper side of the rear surface side surface. At the center, a hook-shaped locking protrusion 204 is provided so as to be hooked on the rail locking groove 204 from above. Thus, the tank rail member 410 is formed in a slanted bowl shape with an open upper surface, the upper surface of the upstream end faces the discharge port 404 of the prize ball tank 400, and the lower surface of the downstream end of the tank rail member 410 forms a ball passage unit 420 described in detail later. I'm here. Further, the inside of the tank rail member 410 is a passage 412 through which the spheres flow down in two rows by a partition wall 411 as shown in FIG. The bottom surface of the passage 412 is notched with a narrow groove, and foreign matters that roll along the passage 412 together with the sphere fall downward from the narrow groove. In addition, a metal plate (not shown) for removing static electricity is affixed to the side wall of the passage 412, and the downstream end of the metal plate is connected to the ground wire connector 207 (see FIG. 26). Yes. For this reason, the static electricity charged in the sphere flowing down the tank rail member 410 is grounded from the metal plate to the outside via the ground connector 207 via the ground connector 690 (see FIG. 75) of the power supply board 686 described later. It is like that.

  In addition, an egg-shaped ball leveling member 413 having a weight on the slightly downstream side of the midstream region of the tank rail member 410 is provided to be swingable. The ball leveling member 413 is pivotally supported on the ball leveling mounting shaft 409 of the prize ball tank 400 described above, and moves toward the respective passages 412 of the two rows of the tank rail members 410. The spheres that hang down and flow down the respective passages 412 flow in a plurality of stages in the vertical direction so as to be rectified so as to become one stage. Further, the upper surface of the tank rail member 410 on the downstream side from the installation position of the ball leveling member 413 is covered with a ball holding plate 414. The ball presser plate 414 is formed in an inclined arc shape so that a ball that has not been made one level by the ball leveling member 413 is forcibly set to one level. Further, at the downstream end of the tank rail member 410, a pair of alignment gears 416 are rotatably supported by shaft pins 417 so as to face the respective passages 412. The alignment gear 416 has a plurality of teeth formed on the outer periphery, and is fixed to the shaft pin 417 so that the pitch of the teeth of the pair of alignment gears 41 is shifted by a half pitch. For this reason, when the upper part of the sphere flowing down each passage 412 of the tank rail member 410 flows downstream while meshing with the teeth of the alignment gear 416, the spheres in the two rows of passages 412 are alternately sent one by one. become. In this case, as shown in FIG. 47, the spheres flowing through the respective passages 412 are guided in the central direction along the inclined surfaces 412a formed in the lower portions of the two rows of passages 412 while meshing with the alignment gears 416. During the guidance, the spheres from the two rows of the passages 412 fall alternately in a line at the upper end inlet 422d of the sphere dropping passage 422 of the sphere passage unit 420 described below. The alignment gear 416 is covered with an arcuate gear cover 415 on its upper surface.

<Ball passage unit>
The ball passage unit 420 for guiding the balls dropped in a line from the tank rail member 410 to the prize ball unit 450 will be described mainly with reference to FIGS. 48 is an exploded perspective view showing the relationship between the main body frame 3 and the ball passage unit 420 and the prize ball unit 450, and FIG. 49 is a rear view showing the relationship between the ball passage unit 420 and the prize ball unit 450. 50 is a perspective view as seen from the back of the ball passage unit 420, FIG. 51 is a front view of the ball passage unit 420, and FIG. 52 is a connection structure of the ball passage unit 420 and the prize ball unit 450. It is a side view for demonstrating. 49 and FIG. 50, the prize ball unit 450 portion is the one in which the gear cover 510, the aluminum heat radiating plate 491, and the unit sub plate 475 are deleted, and the ball passage portion formed in the unit base body 451 is drawn in an easy-to-understand manner. is there. However, the gears and the like are indicated by alternate long and short dash lines in order to facilitate understanding of the relationship with the ball passage.

  In the spherical passage unit 420, a spherical drop passage 422 is formed by a pair of bent passage walls 421 that are bent on the back surface of a substantially rectangular plate (the surface seen from the back surface is called the front surface). The ball drop passage 422 has a front / rear bent passage portion 422a bent upstream in the front / rear direction (depth direction when viewed from the back), and a left / right direction (left / right direction viewed from the rear) communicating with the front / rear bent passage portion 422a. The left and right bent passage portions 422b are bent into the right and left bent passage portions 422a and the vertical passage portions 422c are connected to the left and right bent passage portions 422a. As shown in FIG. 47A, the front / rear bent passage portion 422a is located at the center of the two rows of passages 412 as described above because the position of the upper end inlet 422d falling from the tank rail member 410 is the main body frame. 3 is located away from the surface of the upper rear wall 195 and the right rear wall 196 on the back side, and the ball is formed by the front and rear bent passage portion 422a and the prize ball guiding projection 211 projecting from the right rear wall 196. The fall passage 422 is bent in the front-rear direction so as to be positioned close to the surface of the right rear wall 196. Further, the left and right bent passage portion 422b is formed by bending the ball passage unit 420 into a substantially U-shape so as to weaken the momentum of the sphere that has dropped from the tank rail member 410 to the front and rear bent passage portion 422a. It is. Further, although the vertical passage portion 422c is also formed in a substantially vertical shape, it is slightly curved and formed, and a notch portion 423 is formed in one bent passage wall 421 constituting the vertical passage portion 422c. A ball breakage detecting piece 424 whose upper end is pivotally supported by a support shaft 425 is attached to 423 so as to freely swing. A ball break switch 426 is attached to the side of the ball break detection piece 424, and an actuator 427 of the ball break switch 426 is in contact with the ball break detection piece 424.

  Thus, when a ball is present in the vertical passage portion 422c, the ball breakage detecting piece 424 is pressed by the ball present in the vertical passage portion 422c and the actuator 427 is pressed to turn on the ball break switch 426. When the ball ceases to exist in the portion 422c due to clogging or lack of balls, the ball breakage detecting piece 424 swings toward the vertical passage portion 422c, and the actuator 427 turns off the ball breakage switch 426. When the ball switch 426 is turned OFF, the rotation of a payout motor 465 of a prize ball unit 450, which will be described later, is stopped and the payout of prize balls is stopped. A stopper protrusion 428 is formed at the lower end of the notch portion 423 to prevent excessive swinging of the ball breakage detecting piece 424 to the opposite side of the passage portion. A clogging insertion groove 429 is formed in the vertical passage portion 422c corresponding to the cut detection piece 424. The ball clogging insertion groove 429 inserts a pin from the rear side of the ball path unit 420 when the ball breakage detecting piece 424 is difficult to swing due to ball clogging or the like, and the ball clogging detection piece 424 is clogged. This is provided to eliminate the problem. Further, the other bent passage wall 421 facing the piece detection piece 424 is formed in a bulging shape slightly toward the piece detection piece 424. This is because when the ball is present in the vertical passage portion 422c, the ball piece detecting piece 424 is surely pressed and the ball piece switch 426 is turned on.

  Further, a stop hole 430 and a positioning boss 431 are formed in the ball passage unit 420 at a position avoiding the above-described ball drop passage 422. The positioning boss 431 is engaged with a positioning pin 226 formed on the right rear wall 196 of the main body frame 3, and the stop hole 430 corresponds to the passage unit mounting boss 212 similarly formed on the right rear wall 196. Is. Thus, to attach the ball passage unit 420 to the main body frame 3, as shown in FIG. 48, the passage unit attachment boss 212 and the stop hole 430 are made to coincide with each other while the positioning boss 431 is engaged with the positioning pin 226. In this state, the screw 432 can be screwed from the stop hole 430. Further, the ball passage unit 420 is formed with a cover engagement groove 433 that engages with an engagement piece 752 (see FIG. 3) of the cover body 750 in the middle of one side thereof, and the prize ball unit 450 at the lower part. A connecting lid member 434 for connecting to the slidable member is rotatably provided.

  As shown in FIG. 50, the connecting lid member 434 is configured by projecting a pair of passage walls 438 projecting in an arc shape on the back surface of a rectangular plate member, and the lower surface of the ball passage unit 420 The projecting shaft 437 projecting from the tip of the support piece 436 extending from the both ends of the connecting lid member 434 is fitted to the support projecting piece 435 projecting from both left and right ends of the connecting lid member 434 so as to be pivotally supported. Is. In addition, the connecting lid member 434 is extended below the spherical passage unit 420 when closed, and the passage formed by the passage wall 438 communicates with the downstream end of the spherical drop passage 422 (see FIG. 52B). The state shown in FIG. 52A and the state where the passage formed by the passage wall 438 and the downstream end of the ball drop passage 422 do not communicate with each other (the state shown in FIG. 52A). A guide projection 439 that guides the support piece 436 of the connecting lid member 434 when projecting from the opened state to the closed state projects from the lower end of the rear surface of the ball path unit 420.

  Thus, the ball path unit 420 is fixed to the right rear wall 196 of the main body frame 3, and the award ball unit 450 is also mounted on the right rear wall 196 as will be described later (shown in FIG. 52A). In the state), the connecting lid member 434 is closed and the rear surface thereof is locked by the locking elastic claw 470 provided in the prize ball unit 450, so that the ball drop path 422 of the ball path unit 420 and the bent path of the prize ball unit 450 are 453 is communicated with the passage wall 438 so that the sphere falling in the ball dropping passage 422 of the ball passage unit 420 can be guided to the bending passage 453 of the prize ball unit 450. The reason why the rotatable connecting lid member 434 is provided in the ball passage unit 420 is that the prize ball unit 420 can be easily attached to and detached from the main body frame 3 as will be described later, and the attachment and detachment thereof is possible. This is to prevent the space formed between the ball path unit 420 and the prize ball unit 450 from being attached to the ball from hindering a smooth drop of the ball.

<Prize ball unit>
Next, the prize ball unit 450 disposed on the downstream side of the above-described ball path unit 420 will be described mainly with reference to FIGS. 53 to 56. 53 is an exploded perspective view as seen from the back side of the prize ball unit 450. FIG. 54 is a rear view for explaining the relationship between the payout motor 465 and the sprocket 457 as a payout member. FIG. 56 is a rear view for explaining the path and drive relationship of the prize ball unit 450, and FIG. 56 is a cross-sectional view taken along line AA of FIG.

  53, a prize ball unit 450 includes a unit base body 451 in which a bent passage 453 is formed by a pair of bent passage walls 452, a unit sub plate 475 that covers the rear surface of the unit base body 451, and the unit sub plate 475. A relay substrate 480 attached to the upper surface (rear surface side) of the motor, and a gear cover 510 covering the gear groups 493, 494, 497 and the detection disk 500 provided in the substantially central surface region (rear surface side region) of the unit sub-plate 475. It is composed of Hereinafter, these configurations will be sequentially described.

  The unit base body 451 is formed in a substantially rectangular plate shape (this plate portion may be referred to as “bottom surface”), and a pair of bent passages projecting toward the plate-like unit sub plate 475 side. A bent passage 453 is formed by the wall 452. The bent passage wall 452 protrudes from the upper center of the unit base body 451 to approximately the middle of the downstream side at a distance slightly larger than the diameter of the sphere. It also serves as side walls on both sides of the unit base body 451 from the downstream end to the downstream end. In addition, the middle bent passage wall 452 is largely divided into left and right portions to form a distribution space 455 in which a sprocket 457 as a distribution member is arranged, and the unit base body 451 has a lower portion of the distribution space 455. A passage partition wall 459 is formed in a projecting manner so as to form a pair of the bent passage walls 452 divided to the left and right until the downstream end. That is, the left and right bent passage wall 452 and the passage partition wall 459 on the downstream side from the middle form two passages on the left and right from the distribution space 455, and one passage constitutes the prize ball passage 460, The other passage constitutes a ball removal passage 461. The passage partition wall 459 is also largely divided into left and right, and a motor storage space 464 for storing the payout motor 465 is formed inside the divided passage partition wall 459. The bent passage 453 is formed in a meandering shape so as to weaken the pressure applied to the sprocket 457 of the spheres staying in the passage 453 and reaches the distribution space 455, but the upstream side of the distribution space 455. An elliptical opening 454 is formed on the bottom surface of the. The opening 454 stores small dust or the like that has entered the bent passage 453, and can collect dust or the like that is collected when the prize ball unit 450 is removed from the main body frame 3.

  Further, in the distribution space 455, a sprocket 457 as a payout member having a plurality of (three in the illustrated example) recesses in which a sphere fits on the outer periphery is rotatably arranged. A bearing cylinder 456 that supports the other end of the rotating shaft 458 to which the 457 is fixed is formed on the bottom surface of the distribution space 455. Further, the upper end portion of the passage partition wall 459 constituting the bottom portion of the distribution space 455 is formed in a concave arc shape along the rotation arc of the sprocket 457, and in the upstream portion of the prize ball passage 460 formed on one side thereof A payout ball detection sensor 462 is detachably mounted. The payout ball detection sensor 462 is a rectangular parallelepiped magnetic sensor in which a circular passage hole through which a ball passes is formed at the tip, and a mounting portion that matches the shape of the rear end is formed by a bent passage wall 452. Thus, it can be easily attached and detached. A wiring (not shown) from the payout ball detection sensor 462 is connected to a relay board 480 described later. Further, on the downstream side of the bent passage wall 452 constituting the prize ball passage 460, a locking claw that engages with a locking portion 509 a formed on the passage lid plate portion 509 formed integrally with the unit sub plate 475. A plurality of 463 are formed. However, among the plurality of locking claws 463, the locking claw 463 that engages with one locking portion 509a at the lower end of the passage lid plate portion 509 is formed on the passage partition wall 459 side.

  A circular motor storage space 464 for storing the payout motor 465 is formed below the unit base body 451 and between the prize ball passage 460 and the ball removal passage 461. The motor storage space 464 The cylindrical main body of the payout motor 465 is accommodated in the interior of the. However, the payout motor 465 is fixed to the back side of the aluminum heat dissipating plate 491 attached below the unit sub plate 475 by a pair of mounting pieces 466 formed on the front surface thereof with screws 467. In a state where the payout motor 465 is attached to the aluminum heat radiating plate 491 of the unit sub-plate 475, the motor shaft 468 of the payout motor 465 passes through the shaft insertion hole 492 drilled in the aluminum heat radiating plate 491 and enters the first. The gear 493 is fixed. Further, a space in the depth width direction in which the bent passage 453, the prize ball passage 479, and the ball passage 461 are formed by covering the rear surface side of the unit base body 451 with the unit sub plate 475 and the aluminum heat radiating plate 491. The cylindrical main body portion of the dispensing motor 465 is also accommodated in the inside.

  Further, the unit base body 451 is provided with a guide protrusion 469 for guiding the ball balled at the lowermost end of the above-described ball extraction passage 461 to the back side of the prize ball unit 450, The guided ball is guided to a ball outlet connecting passage 515 described later, and is finally discharged to the outside of the pachinko gaming machine 1 (a collection basket provided below the island platform).

The box main body 521 is configured such that the sphere that has flowed in from the downstream end of the prize ball passage 460 is guided in a zigzag manner and discharged from the outlet 536. For this reason, a side guide passage 522 is formed by the partition wall 526 to guide a sphere that has flowed from the winning ball inlet 542 formed in the lid 541 sideward from one end toward the other end. A side guide receiving portion 523 formed in a concave arc shape so as to guide the sphere toward the side is provided at one end portion of the side guide passage 522 directly below the prize ball entrance 542, and the side guide passage is provided. A buffer member 524 is provided on the inner surface of the other end of 522 to receive the impact of the sphere flowing through the side guide passage 522 and guide the sphere downstream.

  Further, the ball that collides with the buffer member 524 provided on the inner surface of the other end of the side guide passage 522 is changed in direction to the downstream side, and then the ball of the side guide passage 522 is formed by the inclined side wall 527 formed on the downstream side. It is induced to flow in the opposite direction to the flow of That is, the reverse side guide passage 525 is formed by the partition wall 526 and the inclined side wall 527. The sphere that has flowed through the reverse side guide passage 525 is then guided to the front guide passage 535 that is formed forward, and the award of the storage dish 30 described above from the outlet 536 that is formed at the lower end of the front guide passage 535. Guided to the ball port 39.

  Meanwhile, a switch housing space 528 is formed at one end portion of the reverse side guide passage 525 on the downstream side of the buffer member 524 so as to protrude outward. A support shaft pin 529 protrudes from the lower front position of the switch storage space 528, and the shaft hole 533 of the full tank swing plate 531 is inserted into the support pin 529 so that the full tank swing plate 531 swings. It is provided freely. The full rocking plate 531 is formed in a plate shape so as to form one end side wall of the reverse side guide passage 525, a shaft hole 533 is formed at the lower end of the plate shape, and the detection piece 532 is integrated on the back surface thereof. Is formed. The detection piece 532 is formed by vertically projecting a rear end portion of a fan-like connection plate connected to the back surface of the full tank swinging plate 531, and the projected detection piece 532 is a projection that will be described in detail later. The ON / OFF state of the full tank switch 545 is detected by shielding or conducting between the light projector and the light receiver of the light receiving type full tank switch 545. A shaft spring 530 is also inserted into the support pin 529, one end of the shaft spring 530 is locked to the back surface of the full tank swing plate 531, and the other end is erected rearward of the support pin 529. By being locked by the spring locking pin 549, the upper end portion of the full rocking plate 531 is always urged toward the reverse side guide passage 525. However, two stopper pieces 534 are formed in the upper portion of the switch storage space 528 at the downstream extension position of the other end side wall of the side guide passage 522 and the rear position thereof. The upper end only swings about the support shaft pin 529 between the two stopper pieces 534. In addition, a wiring drawing recess 547 for drawing the wiring 546 from the full tank switch 545 to the outside is formed in the rear part of the upper side wall of the switch storage space 528.

  Further, a foul ball passage 537 is formed on one side downstream of the reverse side guide passage 525. As shown in FIG. 61, the foul ball passage 537 is bent and formed such that the foul ball inlet 538 communicates with the foul port 257 described above and the downstream side communicates with the upstream side of the front guide passage 535. Has been. For this reason, the foul balls taken into the foul port 257 are guided from the foul ball inlet 538 through the bent foul ball passage 537 to the front guide passage 535, and further through the outlet 536 and the prize ball port 39 to the storage dish 30. Returned to

  The box main body 521 includes engaging pieces 539 engaged with unit engaging grooves 181 formed in the full unit mounting portion 180 on both sides of the outlet 536 and one side of the foul inlet 538. And a latching protrusion 540 that engages with a latching piece 548 formed on the lid body 541 is formed. The latching protrusion 540 is appropriately formed on the left and right side wall upper portions of the box main body 521.

  On the other hand, the lid body 541 is formed in a plate shape so as to cover the upper surfaces of the side guide passage 522, the reverse side guide passage 525, the switch storage space 528, the front guide passage 535, and the foul ball passage 537 of the box main body 520. A square prize ball inlet 542 is opened in the side guide passage 522 at a position corresponding to the upstream end. In addition, a switch mounting portion 543 for mounting a full light switch 545 of the light projecting / receiving type is formed at a position corresponding to the switch storage space 528. The full tank switch 545 can be easily attached to the switch mounting portion 543 by locking the locking claw formed with the full tank switch 545 to the locking portion of the switch mounting portion 543 from the lower surface of the lid 541. It has become. Further, a latching piece 548 for engaging with the latching projection 540 of the box main body 521 is provided around the lid 541 so as to project downward.

  In the full unit 520 configured as described above, as shown in FIG. 59, the balls paid out from the prize ball passage 460 of the prize ball unit 520 are located upstream from the prize ball entrance 542 to the side guide passage 522. It enters and is guided toward the side by the side guide receiving portion 523 and collides with the buffer member 524. The ball colliding with the buffer member 524 hits the inclined side wall 527 toward the downstream side as it is, and is guided through the reverse side guide passage 525 in the direction opposite to the guide direction of the side guide passage 522 and guided to the front guide passage 535, From the outlet 536 of the front guide passage 535, the prize ball port 39 is led to the storage tray 30. Further, the foul balls entered from the foul ball entrance 538 are also weakened by the bent foul ball passage 537 and merged with the front guide passage 535, and stored through the prize ball port 39 from the outlet 536 of the front guide passage 535. Guided to the dish 30.

  As described above, when the ball naturally flows in the full tank unit 520, as shown in FIG. 60A, when the ball moves from the side guide passage 522 to the reverse side guide passage 525, The ball hits the buffer member 524 and is reflected toward the substantially central position of the inclined side surface 527, so that the ball hardly hits the full tank swing plate 531. For this reason, since the upper end of the full rocking plate 531 is in contact with the front stopper piece 534 by the biasing force of the shaft spring 530, the detection piece 532 is connected to the projector of the full light switch 545 of the light emitting / receiving type. It is in a state (OFF) where the switch does not conduct due to entering the light receiver. On the other hand, when the prize ball is stored in the storage tray 30 and the full tank unit 520 is filled with the ball, as shown in FIG. 60 (B), the front guide passage 535 and the reverse side guide passage 525 are filled. Due to the pressure of the stored sphere, the full swing plate 531 swings in the clockwise direction against the biasing force of the shaft spring 530 and comes into contact with the subsequent stopper piece 534. In this state, the detection piece 532 is removed from between the light projector and the light receiver of the full tank switch 545 of the light projecting / receiving method, and the switch becomes conductive (ON). When the full tank switch 545 is turned ON, the rotational drive of the payout motor 465 of the prize ball unit 450 is stopped (if an ON signal is derived while a predetermined number of prize balls are being paid out, the predetermined number of prize balls Will be stopped after it has been paid out). Even when balls are stored in the front guide passage 535 and the reverse side guide passage 525, the bottom of the foul ball passage 537 has a very strong inclination, so that the stored ball flows back through the foul ball passage 537. Thus, no reverse flow occurs from the foul ball entrance 538.

  As described above, the full unit 520 according to the present embodiment is detachably attached to the full unit mounting part 180 of the main body frame 3, so that the full unit is attached to the main body frame as in the conventional case. It is not necessary to form a passage for a full tank structure in the main body frame as compared with the one assembled in the formed dispensing passage. Further, by making the inside of the full tank unit 520 into a zigzag-shaped passage, it is possible to guide to the storage tray 30 while weakening the momentum of the balls paid out from the prize ball path 460 of the prize ball unit 450. The awarded ball does not jump out of the storage tray 30. In addition, the full tank swinging plate 531 for operating the full tank switch 545 is provided at a position below the lower end of the flow of the side guide passage 522 that is not affected by the normal flow of the sphere. The winning ball payout is not stopped by the tan, and the winning ball payout can be reliably stopped only when the tank is full. Furthermore, the full tank unit 520 according to the present embodiment is configured so that the foul ball passage 537 for guiding the foul ball joins the ball with a reduced momentum in the middle of the front guide passage 535 for paying out the prize ball. Foul balls can be merged without obstructing the flow of the sphere.

<Lock device>

Are not allowed to perform such cheating. A structure for preventing such an illegal act is a lock mechanism including a first fraud prevention member 582 and a second fraud prevention member 590.

  The operation of such a locking mechanism will be described with reference to FIG. First, in a state where the outer frame 2 and the main body frame 3 are closed, as shown in FIG. 68 (A), the closing projection 23 of the outer frame 2 and the contact portion 595 of the second fraud prevention member 590 are formed. It is in a contact state. In this state, the first tamper-proof member 582 rotates counterclockwise by the biasing force of the spring 593, the stopper piece 585 enters the tamper-proof cutout 567, and the stopper piece 585 is tamper-proof cutout. The main body frame sliding rod 610 at a position corresponding to 567 is engaged with an engagement notch 627 formed in the lower hook member 612. For this reason, even if the piano wire or the like is hooked on the main body frame sliding rod 610 and pulled down, the stopper piece portion 585 and the engagement notch portion 627 are engaged with each other. It is not possible to perform an illegal act of pulling down and opening the main body frame 3.

  On the other hand, when the main body frame 3 is normally unlocked by inserting a key into the cylinder lock 570, the first engagement protrusion of the engagement cam 575 is rotated by rotating the key as shown in FIG. The piece 576 is rotated so as to enter the insertion vertical opening 579. When the first engagement protrusion 576 is rotated, the inclined portion 582a of the first fraud prevention member 582 and the side surface of the first engagement protrusion 576 come into contact with each other. The stopper piece 585 also moves so as to be retracted from the tamper-proof notch 567. For this reason, the engagement between the stopper piece 585 and the engagement notch 627 is released. At this time, the second fraud prevention member 590 is in a position where the spring 593 is extended and the contact portion 595 is retracted. When the engagement cam 575 is further rotated in this state and the first engagement protrusion 576 is also rotated, the tip of the first engagement protrusion 576 is engaged with the lower engagement hole 621 of the lower hook member 612. Since the entire body frame sliding rod 610 is lowered, the locking state between the hook portions 614 and 624 and the closing projections 22 and 23 of the outer frame 2 is released, and the main body frame 3 is attached to the outer frame 2. Can be opened.
