Description

  The present invention relates to a pachinko machine in which a center role is provided for a game area formed on a game board.

  In recent years, in the pachinko machine, various ingenuity has been applied to the production for entertaining the player. Specifically, for example, using a large-sized liquid crystal display, powerful symbol variation and effect images are displayed on the screen, a large movable object is moved, and the like.

  By the way, the movable object used for the production may be provided in a center accessory provided in the game area so as to surround the display screen of the liquid crystal display. Further, as described above, in recent years, large liquid crystal displays tend to be used. As a result, the overall size of the center character is increasing, and accordingly, the ratio of the center character occupying the game area is also increasing.

  There are a large number of game nails provided in the game area. The role of these multiple game nails is as follows: (1) a role of eliminating the momentum of the game balls that have been launched; and (2) a game. By changing the flow direction of the ball, it can be broadly divided into a specific area in the game area, specifically, for example, a role of guiding the game ball to the area where the winning device is provided. When designing the layout of the game nails in the game area, the game nails that play the role of (1) are particularly important from the viewpoint of setting the flow start position of the game ball flowing down the game area. Come.

  However, as described above, if the ratio of the center role in the game area increases, the area where the game nail that plays the role (1) has been provided may be narrowed. It is necessary to provide a game nail that plays the role (1) in a region different from the above. As a result, the design of the layout of the game nails in the game area may be more difficult than before.

  Patent Document 1 discloses a pachinko machine in which an impact force absorbing material is attached to a side surface portion of a center accessory placed on a game board, and the impact force of a ball hitting the impact force absorbing material is absorbed. Are listed. In such a pachinko machine, it is possible to protect the center object. However, since the game ball launched toward the game area does not hit the impact absorbing material first, the design of the game nail layout in the game area is not simplified.

It is also a feature. Furthermore, in the pachinko machine of the present invention, the game ball collision surface that causes the game ball that has jumped from the game ball outlet to the game area to flow directly after losing momentum is the game ball outlet of the shock absorbing member. It is also characterized by being formed by a surface located on the side. In the pachinko machine of the present invention, the game ball collision surface is positioned closer to the game ball exit side than the center of the game board, and the game ball exit port is between the game ball exit surface and the game ball collision surface. It is also characterized in that no game nail is provided above.

  In such a pachinko machine structured in accordance with the present invention, a game ball collision surface is provided in the game area for directing the game ball that has been launched toward the game area to flow down after losing momentum. Since it is formed by the surface on the game ball outlet side of the shock absorbing member provided above the game ball outlet on the outer surface of the center actor, it takes a hit when the game ball hits the game ball collision surface The game ball flows down the game area from the position where the game ball collision surface is formed. As a result, the starting point of the game ball flowing down the game area and the speed at the start of the flow can be made substantially constant. As a result, when designing the layout of the game nail in the game area, it is not necessary to provide a game nail for eliminating the momentum of the game ball that has been launched toward the game area, and the game that hits the game nail It is not necessary to provide a game nail in consideration of various subsequent movements of the ball.

  Therefore, in the pachinko machine of the present invention, it becomes possible to easily design the layout of the game nails in the game area.

  Further, in the present invention, as described above, since it is not necessary to provide a game nail for eliminating the momentum of the game ball that has been launched toward the game area, the area required to provide such a game nail It becomes possible to widen the space for arranging the center character.

  Therefore, in the pachinko machine of the present invention, a large center accessory can be provided advantageously.

Those having a winning opening through which a game ball can enter can be employed.

  In the present invention, the game ball outlet is formed at the end portion of the guide passage.

  Furthermore, in the present invention, as a material for forming the impact absorbing member, the material has a damping characteristic to such an extent that the momentum of the game ball can be eliminated when it hits the game ball that has jumped out of the game ball outlet. If it has, it will not specifically limit, For example, it describes in the gel-like material which uses silicone as the main raw material described in Unexamined-Japanese-Patent No. 2003-214490 etc., or Unexamined-Japanese-Patent No. 2004-300342 etc. A polypropylene resin foam molded article described in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2004-27196, etc., in which a polymer material is used as a base material and an active ingredient that increases the amount of dipole moment is blended Those containing polyurethane as a component described in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2003-26752, etc., and rigid polyurethane films described in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 5-331364 Made of a thermoplastic material containing a polymer organic material and a softening agent described in JP-A-9-202857, etc., and a silicon rubber described in JP-A-9-157434 What mixed hollow beads is adopted.

  Further, in the present invention, it is desirable that the game ball collision surface has a large inclination angle with respect to the flying direction of the game ball that has jumped out from the game ball outlet to the gaming area, and more preferably, the flying direction of the game ball. Is substantially orthogonal.

  Furthermore, in the pachinko machine of the present invention, it is desirable that a stepped portion is formed on the outer surface of the center accessory, and an impact absorbing member is provided on the stepped portion. Thereby, it is possible to advantageously secure a space for disposing the impact absorbing member.

  Therefore, when the configuration as described above is adopted, it is desirable that the upper corner portion of the stepped portion is covered with an impact absorbing member. As a result, it is possible to advantageously reduce or avoid applying an impact force to a portion that is vulnerable to an impact. As a result, the durability of the center accessory can be increased.

  In the pachinko machine of the present invention, it is desirable that the upper end surface of the impact absorbing member be an inclined surface that goes down to the game ball outlet side. As a result, even when a game ball launched toward the game area is placed on the upper end surface of the shock absorbing member, it is possible to prevent the game ball from staying on the upper end surface of the shock absorbing member. Become.

  Furthermore, in the pachinko machine of the present invention, on the outer surface of the center accessory, the surface opposite to the game ball outlet is sandwiched between the impact absorbing members and is a guide surface that goes down to the opposite side of the game ball outlet. It is desirable that the game ball is guided to the out port provided at the lower end of the game area by rolling on the guide surface. This makes it possible for the player to launch the game ball aiming at the game ball collision surface. As a result, it can be advantageously realized to make the flow start point of the game ball flowing down the game area substantially constant.

  Hereinafter, in order to clarify the present invention more specifically, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

  FIG. 1 shows a pachinko machine 10 as a first embodiment of the present invention. This pachinko machine 10 has a structure in which a vertical rectangular middle frame 14 is assembled so as to be openable and detachable on the front side of the opening of an outer frame 12 that forms the outline of the machine body. In addition, a game board 16 (see FIG. 2) in which a later-described game area 34 is formed is detachably assembled to the middle frame 14, and the game area 34 is assembled to the middle frame 14 so that it can be opened and closed. The player can visually recognize the glass plate 20 held by the glass door 18. Then, the operation lever 24 that is rotatably attached to the operation handle 22 provided on the inner frame 14 is rotated by the player to be stored in the hitting ball supply tray 26 provided on the inner frame 14. The game ball is sent to a launching device (not shown) via a ball feed mechanism (not shown), and then launched toward the game area 34.

  Next, the game board 16 assembled to the middle frame 14 will be described. As shown in FIG. 2, the game board 16 has a structure in which a rail set 30 and a corner decoration 32 are provided on the surface side of a game board 28 formed of lauan plywood. The rail set 30 and the corner decoration 32 define a substantially circular game area 34 on the surface side of the game board 28.

  Further, a part of the inner rail 36 and the outer rail 38 constituting the rail set 30 are arranged in parallel at a predetermined interval. As a result, a guide passage 40 for guiding a game ball fired from a launching device (not shown) to the game area 34 is formed from the lower end portion of the game board 28 in a clockwise (clockwise) direction to the vicinity of the upper end of the game board 28. ing.

  There, a ball return preventing member 42 is provided at the end portion of the inner rail 36. The ball return preventing member 42 has a structure in which one end side is bent in an arc shape and the other end side of the strip plate spring piece 44 is fixed to an attachment piece 46 attached to a terminal portion of the inner rail 36. Then, in a state where the attachment piece 46 is attached to the terminal portion of the inner rail 36, one end side of the strip-like spring piece 44 curved in an arc shape is in contact with or close to the inner side surface of the outer rail 38. I'm hurt. As a result, the game ball outlet 48 serving as the outlet of the guide passage 40 is in a state of being blocked by the strip plate spring piece 44 in the ball return prevention member 42. As a result, the movement of the game ball from the guide passage 40 to the game area 34 is allowed by pushing the belt plate spring piece 44 toward the game area 34 (the side opposite to the outer rail 38). However, the movement of the game ball from the game area 34 to the guide passage 40 is prevented by the belt plate-like spring piece 44 coming into contact with the inner side surface of the outer rail 38.

  As described above, the center accessory 50 is provided in the game area 34 that is separated from the guide passage 40 by the strip plate spring piece 44 of the ball return prevention member 42. The center accessory 50 is made of ABS and has a frame shape as a whole. The display screen 54 of the liquid crystal display disposed on the back side of the game board 28 is visually recognized by the player through the opening window 52 formed in the center portion of the center accessory 50.

  Further, the center accessory 50 has a bowl-like shape that protrudes close to the glass plate 20 with the glass door 18 closed in order to prevent the game ball from dropping in front of the display screen 54 of the liquid crystal display. A portion 56 is provided. Therefore, the bowl-shaped portion 56 of the present embodiment is provided so as to surround the periphery of the opening window 52 over a half circumference including the upper edge portion of the opening window 52.

  Further, on the outer peripheral surface 58 as the outer surface of the bowl-shaped portion 56 of the present embodiment, a step surface 60 is provided on the side of the game ball outlet 48 from the center in the width direction (left-right direction in FIG. 2) of the center accessory 50. Is formed. Accordingly, the step surface 60 of the present embodiment has dimensions in the vertical direction (vertical direction in FIG. 2) and horizontal direction (direction perpendicular to the paper surface in FIG. 2) both larger than the diameter of the game ball. Has been. The game ball outlet 48 side is a low position surface 62 across the step surface 60, while the opposite side of the game ball outlet 48 is a high position surface 64. That is, in the present embodiment, a stepped portion 66 including the step surface 60 and the high position surface 64 is formed on the outer peripheral surface 58 of the bowl-shaped portion 56 of the center accessory 50.

  In the present embodiment, the center position 50 is attached to the game board 28, and the high position surface 64 has a clearance enough to allow one game ball to pass through the outer rail 38 and the corner. The decoration 32 and the inner rail 36 are opposed to each other.

  An impact absorbing member 68 is provided on the outer peripheral surface 58 of the bowl-shaped portion 56 of the center accessory 50. In this case, the impact absorbing member 68 of the present embodiment is formed of a gel material made mainly of silicone and has a sheet shape as a whole. In addition, the impact absorbing member 68 of the present embodiment can roll a game ball colliding with a game ball collision surface 70 described later on the low position surface 62 after dropping it on the low position surface 62. It is only necessary to have such an attenuation characteristic, and more preferably, the attenuation characteristic is such that it can be dropped almost directly along the game ball collision surface 70. Such an impact absorbing member 68 is provided on the outer peripheral surface 58 of the bowl-shaped portion 56 of the center accessory 50 by being attached to the entire step surface 60 with an adhesive. That is, in this embodiment, the dimensions of the shock absorbing member 68 in the vertical direction (vertical direction in FIG. 2) and the horizontal direction (direction perpendicular to the paper surface in FIG. 2) are both larger than the diameter of the game ball. -ing Note that the upper end surface of the shock absorbing member 68 in the present embodiment is smoothly connected to the high position surface 64.

  Further, in the present embodiment, the surface of the shock absorbing member 68 opposite to the one attached to the step surface 60 (hereinafter referred to as the game ball collision surface 70) is located above the game ball outlet 48. It is positioned and spreads in a direction substantially orthogonal to the direction in which the game ball that has jumped out from the game ball outlet 48 to the game area 34 hits.

  In addition to the game area 34 provided with the center bonus 50 as described above, a display screen of a liquid crystal display is provided by a normal winning device 72 where a winning ball (game ball) is paid out by winning a game ball or a winning game ball. 54, a start winning device 74 that starts to fluctuate a plurality of fluctuating symbols (not shown), and a predetermined release condition when a plurality of fluctuating symbols are stopped and displayed in a predetermined symbol combination on the display screen 54 of the liquid crystal display. Various winning devices such as a special variable winning device 76 that allows a game ball to be awarded by the opening control of the door based on the above are provided. In addition, a large number of game nails 78 are provided to change the flow direction of the game balls. In this case, the large number of game nails 78 are provided in an area where the center accessory 50 and the various winning devices 72, 74, and 76 are not disposed. In particular, in the present embodiment, the ball return prevention member 42 Is also provided at a lower position. Furthermore, at the lower end portion of the game area 34, an out port 80 is formed for discharging game balls that have not won any of the winning devices 72, 74, 76 to the back side of the game board 16.

  In the pachinko machine 10 having such a structure, the game ball launched by the player turning the operation lever 24 is guided by the guide passage 40 and then the belt in the ball return prevention member 42. By pushing off the plate-like spring piece 44, it passes through the game ball outlet 48 and jumps out to the game area 34.

  In this case, when the momentum of the released game ball is appropriate, the game ball hits the game ball collision surface 70, so that the momentum is killed, falls almost directly below, and hits the low position surface 62. That is, the game ball collides with the game ball collision surface 70 and starts to flow down the game area 34 after the momentum is lost. In addition, the game ball that has fallen to the low position surface 62 in this way then moves down on the low position surface 62 toward the game ball outlet 48 side until it receives no drag from the low position surface 62. When the game ball rolling on the low position surface 62 is no longer subjected to the drag from the low position surface 62, it moves away from the low position surface 62 and flows down the game area 34 while hitting the game nail 78. It becomes. In particular, in the present embodiment, the game nail 78 is configured so that the game ball rolling on the low position surface 62 after hitting the game ball collision surface 70 as described above is guided to the region where the start winning device 74 is disposed. Since it is provided, the game balls launched at an appropriate momentum have a high probability of winning the start winning device 74. It should be noted that even a game ball fired at an appropriate momentum does not necessarily win the start winning device 74, but wins other winning devices 72, 76, or any winning device 72, 74, The player may be discharged from the out port 80 to the back side of the game board 16 without winning the prize 76.

  On the other hand, a game ball having a weak momentum at the time of launching cannot push out the strip plate spring piece 44 in the ball return prevention member 42 and jump out to the game area 34.

  When the momentum at the time of launch is strong, the game ball hits the high position surface 64 beyond the impact absorbing member 68. If the momentum at the time of launching is too strong, the game ball is out through a gap formed between the bowl-shaped portion 56 of the center accessory 50 and the outer rail 38, the corner decoration 32 and the inner rail 36. It is guided to the mouth 80. On the other hand, if the momentum at the time of launch is not too strong, the game ball rolls on the high position surface 64 to the impact absorbing member 68 side (ball return prevention member 42 side) and falls to the low position surface 62. The game area 34 flows down while hitting the game nail 78. In the middle of flowing down the game area 34, the game ball wins any of the winning devices 72, 74, 76, or does not win any of the winning devices 72, 74, 76. It is discharged from the out port 80 to the back side of the game board 16.

  Therefore, in the pachinko machine 10 having the above-described structure, the game ball collides with the game ball collision surface 70, so that the start point of the game ball that will flow down the game area 34 and the speed at the start of flow are reduced. As a result, when designing the layout of the game nail 78 in the game area 34, the game ball that has jumped out of the game area first hits the game nail, compared to a conventional pachinko machine, There is no need to consider various variations in the flow direction of the game ball and the speed at the time of flow, and as a result, the layout design of the game nail 78 in the game area 34 can be facilitated.

  In addition, since it is not necessary to provide a game nail for killing the momentum of the game ball that has jumped out into the game area, the space for arranging the center object up to the area where the game nail is provided in the pachinko machine of the conventional structure Can be expanded. As a result, it is possible to advantageously realize the use of the large center accessory 50.

  Furthermore, in this embodiment, since the shock absorbing member 68 is attached to the step surface 60 formed on the hook-shaped portion 56 of the center accessory 50, the shock absorbing member 68 is attached to the hook-shaped portion 56. It is possible to advantageously secure a space for arranging so as not to protrude from the outer peripheral surface 58.

  In particular, in the present embodiment, the upper end surface of the shock absorbing member 68 is smoothly connected to the high position surface 64 of the bowl-shaped portion 56 of the center accessory 50. Even when the game ball that has passed exceeds the high position surface 64 and returns, it is advantageously avoided that the impact absorbing member 68 becomes an obstacle and obstructs the rolling of the game ball. It becomes possible.

  In the present embodiment, since the game nail 78 is provided so that the game ball hitting the game ball collision surface 70 can easily win the start winning device 74, the player aims at the game ball collision surface 70. It becomes possible to fire a game ball.

  Next, a second embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. In the second to sixth embodiments described below, members and parts having the same structure as those of the first embodiment are denoted by the same reference numerals as those of the first embodiment.

  Therefore, in this embodiment, the game nail 78 is not provided on the inner rail 36 with the branch rail 84 interposed therebetween, but the opposite side of the inner rail 36 with the branch rail 84 interposed therebetween, that is, the center role. A game nail 78 is provided on the object 50 side.

  In the pachinko machine having such a structure, the game ball having a weak momentum at the time of launch is guided to the out port 80 through the space between the inner rail 36 and the branch rail 84. The game ball having a strong momentum is guided to the out port 80 through the high position surface 64 of the center accessory 50 and the outer rail 38, the corner decoration 32 and the inner rail 36. . On the other hand, the game ball having an appropriate momentum at the time of launching hits the game ball collision surface 70, then falls to the low position surface 62, passes between the center accessory 50 and the branch rail 84, and plays the game nail 78. While being hit, it is led to the area where the start winning device 74 is provided.

  Therefore, even in a pachinko machine having such a structure, it is possible to obtain the same effect as in the first embodiment.

  Further, in the present embodiment, the game ball is not guided to the area where the start winning device 74 is provided unless the game ball is fired at such a launch intensity as to hit the game ball collision surface 70. It is possible to cause the player to launch the game ball aiming at the game ball collision surface 70.

  Next, a third embodiment of the present invention will be described based on FIG. 4 and FIG.
