Description

  The present invention relates to a pachinko machine in which a handle for launching a game ball is provided so as to be rotatable.

  In general, a pachinko machine is provided with a launching device for launching a game ball and a handle for operating the launching device. The handle is provided so as to protrude forward from the pachinko machine, and when the player rotates the lever member of the handle, the launching device operates and a game ball is launched. Further, the launch strength of the game ball can be adjusted by adjusting the rotation amount of the lever member. Furthermore, a return means such as a return spring that biases the lever member in a direction to return the lever member to the initial rotation position is provided in the handle, and when the player releases the lever member, the lever member is initially rotated. It is designed to automatically return to the moving position.

  Here, when the player continues the game for a long time, it can be considered that the hand gets tired or the like and the hand is released from the lever member. However, in the above pachinko machine, the lever member automatically returns to the initial rotation position when the hand is released, so when resuming the game, the lever member is rotated again to find a suitable rotation position. As a result, a lot of useless balls are generated, which may give an unpleasant feeling to the player. For this reason, a pachinko machine has been devised in which the lever member can be maintained at a predetermined rotational position even if the hand is released.

  For example, in the pachinko machines described in Patent Documents 1 and 2, when a button is provided on the handle and the button is pushed in when the lever member is at a predetermined rotation position, the lever member is maintained at the rotation position. It is configured as follows. Further, in the pachinko machine described in Patent Document 3, a ring-shaped member is interposed between a lever member to be rotated and a cover member fixed to the front end of the handle, and the lever is caused by the frictional force of the ring-shaped member. The member is configured to be maintained at a predetermined rotation position.

According to the present invention, the lever member is in the release position where the lever member is not fixed, and the lever member is pressed from the direction of the rotation axis in accordance with a predetermined operation, and the lever member is moved by the frictional force generated between itself and the lever member. Because the fixing member is fixed, the lever member is fixed by the fixing member, so that even if the hand gets tired or the seat is removed, the game ball can be launched with the same launch strength when the game is resumed. It is possible to reduce the useless balls when the game is resumed, and the player does not feel uncomfortable. Further, the lever member is not rotated while the frictional force is applied, and wear and damage of the lever member and the fixing member can be prevented. Furthermore, since the lever member is fixed by directly pressing the fixing member against the lever member, it can be configured without providing a complicated fixing mechanism inside the handle. The structure can be realized with a simple structure.

Next, the handle 9 which is a main part of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS.
FIG. 3 is an explanatory perspective view showing the appearance of the handle 9, and FIG. 4 is an explanatory view showing the handle 9 from the lower side. FIG. 5 is a partial cross-sectional explanatory view taken along the line AA of FIG.
The handle 9 is attached to the front of the main body 31 and the main body 31 that are formed in a cylindrical shape that is long in the front-rear direction, and is attached to the front of the lever member 32. The cover member 33 and the fixing member 34 for maintaining the lever member 32 at a predetermined rotational position are provided, and the rear end of the main body 31 is inserted into the mounting hole 13 (shown in FIG. 2) of the pachinko machine 1 to It is installed in a posture that protrudes forward from the machine 1.

  The main body 31 is a cylindrical body formed by assembling a pair of case members, and a volume member 35 for detecting the amount of rotation of the lever member 32 is installed at a substantially central position of the internal space. The volume member 35 is connected to the launching device 10 by a cable or the like (not shown), and the launching device 10 adjusts the launch strength of the game ball according to the rotation amount of the lever member 32 detected by the volume member 35. It has become. Further, a screw portion 36 for attaching the fixing member 34 is provided on the outer peripheral surface of the distal end portion of the main body 31, and a stopper step portion 37 for preventing the fixing member 34 from being screwed more than necessary is formed. ing. Reference numeral 16 denotes a stop button for stopping the launch of the game ball.

  Further, the opening at the front end of the main body 31 is covered with a disk-shaped inner cover member 38 having irregularities. A shaft hole 39 is formed substantially at the center of the inner cover member 38, and a shaft portion 45 of the lever member 32, which will be described later, can be inserted therethrough. In addition, an accommodation recess 40 that can accommodate the return spring 17 for biasing the lever member 32 to the initial rotation position is formed around the shaft hole 39. Further, a positioning recess 41 for positioning the outer cover member 33 is provided on the front surface of the inner cover member 38, and a bolt for fixing the outer cover member 33 is inserted into the positioning recess 41. Possible fixing holes 42 are drilled.

  On the other hand, the fixing member 34 is a ring-shaped member that is externally mounted on the screw portion 36 at the tip of the main body 31, and moves forward and backward with respect to the lever member 32 by rotating clockwise / counterclockwise. It has become. Further, the fixing member 34 is provided with a protrusion 43 protruding in the radial direction, and the fixing member 34 can be easily rotated by pressing a finger or the like against the protrusion 43. The fixing member 34 is normally in a retracted position (release position) where the lever member 32 is not pressed and fixed. Further, the fixing member 34 moves forward when rotated in the same direction as the rotation direction of the lever member 32 toward the side where the launching strength of the game ball becomes strong, and moves backward when rotated in the opposite direction.

  A lever member 32 for adjusting the launch strength of the game ball is attached in front of the inner cover member 38. The lever member 32 is hung from the outer peripheral edge of the flange portion 46 to the rear side, a shaft portion 45 provided substantially at the center, a flange portion 46 extending outwardly around the shaft portion 45, and the flange portion 46. The holding part 47 is formed integrally. The shaft portion 45 is provided so as to protrude forward and backward along the central axis, and the side protruding backward is inserted into the shaft hole 39 and connected to the volume member 35 via the connecting member 44. On the other hand, the side protruding forward of the shaft portion 45 is fitted into a bearing portion 52 of an outer cover member 33 described later, and a resin ring member 48 for smoothly rotating the lever member 32 is provided on the exterior. Is done. The flange portion 46 is formed with a slit 49 in an arc shape. The fixing protrusion 53 of the outer cover member 33 is inserted into the slit 49, and when the lever member 32 is rotated, the fixing protrusion 53 relatively moves in the slit 49 and rotates the lever member 32. The movement is not disturbed. In addition, the grip portion 47 is a portion gripped by the player, and its peripheral surface is formed in a wave shape so that the player can easily grip it.

  Further, an outer cover member 33 including a plate-like base portion 50 and a dome-like decorative portion 51 fixed to the base portion 50 is attached in front of the lever member 32. Near the center of the base 50, there is provided a bearing portion 52 into which a shaft portion 45 on which a resin ring member 48 is sheathed can be fitted. Further, a fixing protrusion 53 protruding rearward is provided on the outer side of the bearing portion 52, and is positioned in the positioning recess 41 of the inner cover member 38 through the slit 49 and fastened with a bolt. The inner cover member 38 is fixed.

Here, the operation of the handle 9 configured as described above will be described.
When a player plays a game with the pachinko machine 1, the player grasps the handle 9 and rotates the lever member 32 to start launching a game ball. In addition, after the start of launching, the turning strength of the game ball is adjusted by adjusting the amount of rotation of the lever member 32 so that the launch position of the game ball into the game area 2a becomes a desired position. When the game ball is launched to a desired position, the game of the lever member 32 is continued until the front surface of the fixing member 34 presses the rear surface of the gripping portion 47 of the lever member 32 as shown in FIG. The ball is advanced by rotating in the same direction as the rotation direction toward the side where the launch strength of the sphere becomes stronger. In connection with the operation of the fixing member 34, when the lever member 32 is rotated at the beginning of launching, if the fixing member 34 is also rotated at the same time, the lever member 32 can be gradually fixed while increasing the launching strength. Accordingly, since the rotation amount of the fixing member 34 when the lever member 32 is finally fixed is small, the rotation position of the lever member 32 is difficult to shift. When the fixing member 34 is advanced in this manner, the lever member 32 is moved to the rotation position against the urging force of the return spring 17 due to friction generated between the front surface of the fixing member 34 and the rear surface of the lever member 32. Fixed. Therefore, even if the hand is released from the lever member 32, the game is not automatically returned to the initial rotation position, and the game can be resumed while the launch strength of the game ball is maintained only by gripping the lever member 32 again. Can do.

  Further, when it is desired to finely adjust the pivot position of the lever member 32 again, or when it is desired to return the lever member 32 to the initial pivot position at the end of the game, the fixing member 34 is rotated in the reverse direction and moved backward. Just do it. Then, the fixing by the fixing member 34 is released, the lever member 32 can be freely rotated, the rotation position of the lever member 32 can be readjusted, and the lever member 32 can be returned by releasing the hand. The spring 17 can be automatically returned to the initial rotation position by the biasing force of the spring 17. When the fixing member 34 is rotated, it can be easily rotated only by pressing the thumb or the like against the protrusion 43 of the fixing member 34 with only the hand holding the lever member 32. Further, when the player starts the game, if the fixing member 34 and the lever member 32 are rotated to the initial rotation position side, the lever member 32 remains fixed by the previous player. In addition, the fixing member 34 is rotated in the fixing release direction, and the lever member 32 can be smoothly returned to the initial rotation position.

  According to the pachinko machine 1 having the handle 9 as described above, since the fixing member 34 for maintaining the lever member 32 at a desired rotation position is provided on the handle 9 so as to be rotatable, After adjusting the rotation amount of the lever member 32 so as to be driven out to a desired position, if the fixing member 34 is rotated, the lever member 32 can be maintained at the rotation position. Therefore, even if the hand gets tired or removes the seat, the lever member 32 does not automatically return to the initial rotation position, and the game ball can be launched with the same launch strength when the game is resumed. Therefore, the useless balls can be reduced when the game is resumed, and the player does not feel uncomfortable.

Further, the lever member 32 can be fixed only by rotating the fixing member 34 so as to press the rear surface of the lever member 32, and if the fixing member 34 is rotated in the reverse direction until it is separated from the lever member 32. The lever member 32 can be made free. Therefore, the operation relating to the fixing / releasing of the lever member 32 is simple, it is not necessary to provide a complicated mechanism or the like inside the handle 9, and the structure relating to the fixing / releasing of the lever member 32 can be a simple structure. it can.
Furthermore, since the rotation direction of the fixing member 34 when fixing the lever member 32 is the same direction as the direction of rotation of the lever member 32 toward the side where the launching strength of the game ball is increased, the lever member 32 is initially placed at the launch. If the fixing member 34 is also rotated at the time of rotation, the lever member 32 can be gradually fixed while increasing the launch strength. Accordingly, since the rotation amount of the fixing member 34 when the lever member 32 is finally fixed is small, the rotation position of the lever member 32 is difficult to shift. On the other hand, since the rotation direction of the fixing member 34 when releasing the lever member 32 is the reverse direction to the above direction, that is, the rotation direction toward the initial rotation position side, the initial rotation is performed when the player starts the game. If the fixing member 34 and the lever member 32 are rotated to the position side, the fixing member 34 is rotated in the unlocking direction even if the lever member 32 remains fixed by the previous player. Thus, the lever member 32 can be smoothly returned to the initial rotation position.

Further, in the handle 9 of the present embodiment, the lever member 32 is not rotated while the frictional force is applied, so that the wear and damage of the lever member 32 and the fixing member 34 can be prevented.
In addition, since the protrusion 43 is provided on the fixing member 34, the fixing member 34 can be easily rotated only with the hand holding the lever member 32 by pressing a thumb or the like against the protrusion 43. Can do. Therefore, the player can very easily perform the work related to the fixation / release of the lever member 32.

<Modification 1>
Next, examples of changing the handle will be described in order based on the drawings.
The configuration of the pachinko machine itself to which the handle described as a modified example is mounted (for example, the configuration of the game board 2, the supply tray 5, etc., the configuration of the control device 20 and the control related to the game, etc.) is described in the first embodiment. Is the same as Further, the same components as those described in the embodiments will be described with the same reference numerals.

FIG. 7 is a perspective explanatory view showing the appearance of the handle 9A as a first modified example, and FIG. 8 is an explanatory view showing a part of the cross section of the handle 9A in the axial direction.
The handle 9A, like the handle 9 described in the embodiment, is a main body 31 that is formed in a cylindrical shape that is long in the front-rear direction, and a lever member 32 that is attached to the front of the main body 31 and is rotatable with respect to the main body 31. And an outer cover member 33 attached in front of the lever member 32, and a fixing member 34A for maintaining the lever member 32 in a predetermined rotation position. The handle 9 is located at a position where the fixing member 34A is installed. Is different. A volume member 35 for detecting the amount of rotation of the lever member 32 is installed inside the main body 31 as in the embodiment. Further, the opening at the front end of the main body 31 is covered with an inner cover member 38, and a lever member 32 is attached in front of the inner cover 38.

  The lever member 32 is provided substantially at the center, and is connected to the volume member 35 via the connecting member 44. The flange portion 46 extends outwardly around the shaft portion 45. The grip part 47 suspended from the outer peripheral edge of the flange part 46 is integrally formed. A slit 49 is formed in an arc shape in the flange portion 46 as in the embodiment, and a fixing protrusion (not shown) of the outer cover member 33 can be inserted therethrough.

  Further, an outer cover member 33 including an umbrella-shaped base portion 50 and a dome-shaped decorative portion 51 fixed to the base portion 50 is attached in front of the lever member 32. Near the center of the base portion 50, a bearing portion 52 that can be fitted to the shaft portion 45 on which the resin ring member 48 is sheathed is provided. A covering portion 54 is formed on the periphery of the base portion 50 so as to stand rearward. In addition, between the bearing portion 52 and the covering portion 54, a support wall 60 having a screw portion 36 provided on the outer peripheral surface protrudes rearward, and the fixing member 34 </ b> A is attached to the support wall 60. It has been. Then, as will be described later, the fixing member 34A is rotated, and the fixing member 34A is pressed against the outer peripheral surface of the flange portion 46, whereby friction is generated between the fixing member 34A and the lever member 32, and the lever The member 32 is fixed. Note that a fixing protrusion is provided rearward between the bearing portion 52 and the covering portion 54 as in the embodiment, and the outer cover member 33 is fixed to the inner cover member 38.

  On the other hand, the fixing member 34A is a ring-shaped member that is externally mounted on the threaded portion 36 of the support wall 60 as described above, and is rotated clockwise / counterclockwise so as to move in the front-rear direction with respect to the lever member 32. It is going to advance and retreat. Further, the fixing member 34A is also provided with a protrusion 43 protruding in the radial direction, and the fixing member 34A can be easily rotated by pressing a finger or the like against the protrusion 43. Furthermore, the fixing member 34A has a two-stage structure in which the front side is slightly smaller in diameter than the lower side. The fixing member 34A is attached in a state where the small-diameter portion on the front side enters the covering portion 54 of the outer cover member 33. When the fixing member 34A is operated in the unlocking direction, the small-diameter portion and the large-diameter portion The step portion 61 formed between the outer cover member 33 abuts on the rear end of the outer cover member 33 (the rear end of the covering portion 54), and the fixing member 34A is prevented from coming off. Note that the fixing member 34A is normally in a forward position (release position) where the lever member 32 is not pressed and fixed. Further, the fixing member 34A moves backward when rotated in the same direction as the rotation direction of the lever member 32 toward the side where the launching strength of the game ball becomes strong, and moves forward when rotated in the opposite direction.

Here, the operation of the handle 9A configured as described above will be described.
When a player plays a game with the pachinko machine 1, the player rotates the lever member 32 to start launching a game ball, and the launch position of the game ball into the game area 2a is a desired position. The launch strength of the game ball is adjusted by adjusting the amount of rotation of the lever member 32. When the game ball is launched to a desired position, the strength of the game ball of the lever member 32 is pushed until the rear surface of the fixation member 34A presses the front surface of the lever member 32 as shown in FIG. Rotate in the same direction as the direction of rotation toward the side where the strength becomes stronger, and then move backward. In connection with the operation of the fixing member 34A, when the lever member 32 is rotated at the beginning of launching, if the fixing member 34A is also rotated at the same time, the lever member 32 can be gradually fixed while increasing the launching strength. Accordingly, since the rotation amount of the fixing member 34A when the lever member 32 is finally fixed is small, the rotation position of the lever member 32 is difficult to shift. When the fixing member 34 is retracted in this manner, the lever member 32 is moved to the rotation position against the urging force of the return spring 17 due to friction generated between the rear surface of the fixing member 34A and the front surface of the lever member 32. Fixed. Therefore, like the handle 9 described in the embodiment, even if the hand is released from the lever member 32, it does not automatically return to the initial rotation position, and the grip strength of the game ball can be increased only by gripping the lever member 32 again. The game can be resumed while maintaining it.

  Further, when it is desired to finely adjust the rotation position of the lever member 32 again, or when it is desired to return the lever member 32 to the initial rotation position upon completion of the game, the fixing member 34A is rotated in the reverse direction to form a step portion. What is necessary is just to advance until 61 contact | abuts to the rear end of the outer cover member 33. FIG. Then, the fixing by the fixing member 34A is released and the lever member 32 can be freely rotated. Therefore, the lever member 32 can be readjusted, and when the hand is released from the lever member 32, the return spring 17 is released. The urging force can automatically return to the initial rotation position. The fixing member 34 </ b> A can also be easily rotated only by pressing the thumb or the like against the protrusion 43 with only the hand holding the lever member 32. Further, when the player starts the game, if the fixing member 34A and the lever member 32 are rotated toward the initial rotation position side, the lever member 32 remains fixed by the previous player. In addition, the fixing member 34A is rotated in the fixing release direction, and the lever member 32 can be smoothly returned to the initial rotation position.

Also in the pachinko machine 1 having the handle 9A as described above, since the fixing member 34A for maintaining the lever member 32 in a desired rotation position is provided so as to be rotatable, the game ball is launched to a desired position. After adjusting the rotation amount of the lever member 32 so that the fixing member 34A is rotated, the lever member 32 can be maintained at the rotation position. Therefore, the useless balls can be reduced when the game is resumed, and the player does not feel uncomfortable.
Further, the lever member 32 can be fixed only by rotating the fixing member 34A so as to press the front surface of the lever member 32. On the other hand, if the fixing member 34A is rotated in the reverse direction until it is separated from the lever member 32, the lever member 32 can be fixed. The lever member 32 can be made free. Therefore, the operation relating to the fixing / releasing of the lever member 32 is simple, there is no need to provide a complicated mechanism or the like inside the handle 9A, and the structure relating to the fixing / releasing of the lever member 32 is also a simple structure. it can.

Furthermore, since the rotation direction of the fixing member 34A when fixing the lever member 32 is the same as the rotation direction of the lever member 32 toward the side where the launching strength of the game ball is increased, the lever member 32 is initially placed at the launch. If the fixing member 34A is also rotated at the time of rotation, the lever member 32 can be gradually fixed while increasing the launch strength. Accordingly, since the rotation amount of the fixing member 34A when the lever member 32 is finally fixed is small, the rotation position of the lever member 32 is difficult to shift. On the other hand, since the rotation direction of the fixing member 34A when releasing the lever member 32 is the reverse direction to the above direction, that is, the rotation direction toward the initial rotation position side, the initial rotation is performed when the player starts the game. If the fixing member 34A and the lever member 32 are to be rotated to the position side, the fixing member 34A is rotated in the unlocking direction even if the lever member 32 remains fixed by the previous player. Thus, the lever member 32 can be smoothly returned to the initial rotation position.
Furthermore, like the handle 9 described in the embodiment, since the lever member 32 is not rotated while the frictional force is applied, the wear and damage of the lever member 32 and the fixing member 34A can be prevented.
In addition, since the protrusion 43 is also provided on the fixing member 34A, the fixing member 34A can be easily rotated only by the hand holding the lever member 32 by pressing a thumb or the like against the protrusion 43. be able to. Therefore, the player can very easily perform the work related to the fixation / release of the lever member 32.

<Modification 2>
FIG. 10 is a perspective explanatory view showing the appearance of the handle 9B as a second modification, and FIG. 11 is an explanatory view showing a part of a cross section of the handle 9B in the axial direction.
Similarly to the handle 9 described in the embodiment, the handle 9B is also a main body 31 that is formed in a cylindrical shape that is long in the front-rear direction, and a lever member 32 that is attached to the front of the main body 31 and can be rotated with respect to the main body 31. The outer cover member 33 attached to the front of the lever member 32 and the fixing member 34B for maintaining the lever member 32 in a predetermined rotation position are provided. The handle 9 is located at a position where the fixing member 34B is installed. Is different.

Similarly to the handle 9 described in the embodiment, the handle 9 </ b> C is also a main body 31 that is formed in a cylindrical shape that is long in the front-rear direction, and a lever member 32 that is attached to the front of the main body 31 and is rotatable with respect to the main body 31. The outer cover member 33 attached to the front of the lever member 32 and the fixing member 34C for maintaining the lever member 32 at a predetermined rotation position are provided. The handle 9 is a lever member 32 formed by the fixing member 34C. The configuration related to fixing is different. A volume member 35 for detecting the amount of rotation of the lever member 32 is installed inside the main body 31 as in the embodiment. Further, the opening at the front end of the main body 31 is covered with an inner cover member 38, and a lever member 32 is attached in front of the inner cover 38.

  The lever member 32 includes a shaft portion 45 provided substantially at the center, a flange portion 46 extending outwardly around the shaft portion 45, and a gripping portion suspended from the outer peripheral edge of the flange portion 46. 47 is formed integrally. The shaft portion 45 is provided so as to protrude forward and backward along the central axis, and the side protruding rearward is inserted into a shaft hole 39 provided in the inner cover member 38 and is connected to the volume member via the connecting member 44. 35. On the other hand, the side projecting forward of the shaft portion 45 is fitted into the bearing portion 52 of the outer cover member 33, and a resin ring member 48 for smoothly rotating the lever member 32 is externally provided. . Moreover, the slit 49 is formed in circular arc shape similarly to the Example in the flange part 46, and the adhering protrusion (not shown) of the outer cover member 33 can be penetrated.

  Further, an outer cover member 33 including a plate-like base portion 50 and a dome-like decorative portion 51 fixed to the base portion 50 is attached in front of the lever member 32. Near the center of the base 50, there is provided a bearing portion 52 into which a shaft portion 45 on which a resin ring member 48 is sheathed can be fitted. Further, on the outer side of the bearing portion 52, a fixing projection is provided rearwardly in the same manner as in the embodiment, and the outer cover member 33 is fixed to the inner cover member 38. Further, a fixing ring 70 is fixed to the rear surface of the outer cover member 33 to allow a fixing member 34C described later to function. The fixing ring 70 includes a ring-shaped main body, tapered pieces 70a, 70a,... Protruding outward from the main body at predetermined intervals, and a fixing piece 70b protruding inward from the main body. 70b. A tapered surface 70d is formed on the rear surface of each taper piece 70a so as to gradually increase in thickness in the direction of rotation of the lever member 32 (the direction in which the launch strength of the game ball increases). Each fixing piece 70 b is provided with a fixing hole 70 c for fixing the fixing ring 70 to the rear surface of the outer cover member 33.

  In the handle 9 </ b> C, the fixing member 34 </ b> C is attached to the outside of the fixing ring 70 between the lever member 32 and the outer cover member 33. The fixing member 34C is a ring-shaped member that is slightly larger in diameter than the fixing ring 70, and includes a ring-shaped main body and a fixing protrusion 71 that protrudes inward from the main body. The fixed protrusion 71 has a chamfered upper end surface in the rotation direction of the lever member 32, and the fixing member 34C is rotated in the same direction as the rotation direction of the lever member 32 toward the side where the launching strength of the game ball is increased. At this time, it is easy to sink into the rear of the taper piece 70a. The fixing member 34C is disposed on the front surface of the lever member 32 so that the fixing protrusion 71 is positioned between the taper pieces 70a and 70a, and is rotatable with respect to the lever member 32 and the outer cover member 33. Then, the fixing member 34C is rotated, and the fixing protrusion 71 is inserted behind the tapered piece 70a along the tapered surface 70d, whereby the rear surface of the fixing member 34C presses the front surface of the lever member 32 to generate friction, and the lever The member 32 is fixed. Note that the fixing member 34C is normally at a release position where the lever member 32 is not pressed and fixed, that is, a position where the fixing protrusion 71 does not sink behind the taper piece 70a.

Here, the operation of the handle 9C configured as described above will be described.
When a player plays a game with the pachinko machine 1, the player rotates the lever member 32 to start launching a game ball, and the launch position of the game ball into the game area 2a is a desired position. The launch strength of the game ball is adjusted by adjusting the amount of rotation of the lever member 32. Then, when the game ball is launched to a desired position, as shown in FIG. 18, the fixing member 34C is rotated in the same direction as the rotation direction of the lever member 32 toward the side where the launch strength of the game ball is increased. Then, the fixing protrusion 71 is made to enter behind the tapered piece 70a along the tapered surface 70d. In connection with the operation of the fixing member 34C, when the lever member 32 is rotated at the beginning of launching, if the fixing member 34C is also rotated simultaneously, the lever member 32 can be gradually fixed while increasing the launching strength. Therefore, since the rotation amount of the fixing member 34C when the lever member 32 is finally fixed is small, the rotation position of the lever member 32 is difficult to shift. When the fixing member 34C is rotated in this manner, the rear surface of the fixing member 34C presses the front surface of the lever member 32, and the friction between the fixing member 34C and the lever member 32 due to this pressing causes the return spring 17 to be attached. The lever member 32 is fixed at the rotational position against the force. Therefore, like the handle 9 described in the embodiment, even if the hand is released from the lever member 32, it does not automatically return to the initial rotation position, and the grip strength of the game ball can be increased only by gripping the lever member 32 again. The game can be resumed while maintaining it.

  Further, when it is desired to finely adjust the rotation position of the lever member 32 again or when it is desired to return the lever member 32 to the initial rotation position when the game ends, the launch strength of the game ball is weakened. Turn slightly in the direction. Then, a load is applied to the fixing member 34C in a direction in which the fixing protrusion 71 is guided by the tapered surface 70d and pushed out from the rear side of the taper piece 70a. Therefore, the fixing member 34C automatically moves in a direction opposite to the fixing operation direction. And the fixing by the fixing member 34C is released. Accordingly, the lever member 32 can be freely rotated, and the lever member 32 can be readjusted. When the lever member 32 is released, the lever member 32 is automatically returned to the initial rotation position by the biasing force of the return spring 17. Can be made. When the player starts the game, if the lever member 32 is rotated toward the initial rotation position side, the fixing member is fixed even if the lever member 32 remains fixed by the previous player. 34 is automatically rotated in the unlocking direction as described above, and the lever member 32 can be smoothly returned to the initial rotation position.

Even in the pachinko machine 1 having the handle 9C as described above, since the fixing member 34C for maintaining the lever member 32 in a desired rotation position is provided so as to be rotatable, the game ball is launched to a desired position. After adjusting the rotation amount of the lever member 32 so that the fixing member 34C is rotated, the lever member 32 can be maintained at the rotation position. Therefore, the useless balls can be reduced when the game is resumed, and the player does not feel uncomfortable.
Further, the fixing member 34C is rotated in the same direction as the rotation direction of the lever member 32 toward the side where the launching strength of the game ball is increased, and the fixing protrusion 71 is inserted into the rear of the taper piece 70a, whereby the lever member 32 can be fixed. Therefore, when the lever member 32 is rotated at the beginning of launching, if the fixing member 34C is also rotated at the same time, the lever member 32 can be gradually fixed while increasing the launching strength. On the other hand, if the lever member 32 is turned in a direction in which the launch strength is weakened, a load is applied to the fixing member 34C in a direction in which the fixing protrusion 71 is guided by the tapered surface 70d and pushed out from the rear of the tapered piece 70a. Accordingly, the fixing member 34C can automatically rotate in the direction opposite to the fixing operation direction, and the fixing by the fixing member 34C can be released. Therefore, the operation relating to the fixing / releasing of the lever member 32 is simple, it is not necessary to provide a complicated mechanism or the like inside the handle 9C, and the structure relating to the fixing / releasing of the lever member 32 is also a simple structure. it can.

Here, the operation of the handle 9D configured as described above will be described.
When a player plays a game with the pachinko machine 1, the player rotates the lever member 32 to start launching a game ball, and the launch position of the game ball into the game area 2a is a desired position. The launch strength of the game ball is adjusted by adjusting the amount of rotation of the lever member 32. Then, when the game ball is launched to a desired position, as shown in FIG. 21, any one of the fixed convex portions 75 of the fixed member 34D is pushed into the gap between the lever member 32 and the outer cover member 33. Then, the rear surface of the fixing member 34D presses the front surface of the lever member 32 to generate friction, and the lever member 32 is fixed at the rotational position against the urging force of the return spring 17. Therefore, like the handle 9 described in the embodiment, even if the hand is released from the lever member 32, it does not automatically return to the initial rotation position, and the grip strength of the game ball can be increased only by gripping the lever member 32 again.
