The reason why the control program becomes complicated is that there is a structural reason that it is impossible to provide a stopper that prevents this rotation for the rotating launch arm (stopper for stopping the rotation of the launch arm). Therefore, each time a game ball is fired, it is impossible to rotate the launch arm once, so in order to launch the game ball onto the game board by centrifugal force, a complicated control program must be used. It will be necessary to stop the rotation once).

  In addition, in the above prior art, it is necessary to provide a restraining portion in the ball housing portion that houses the game ball, and it is necessary to guide the movement of the game ball accompanying the rotation by the launch rail. It has the problem that it becomes complicated (the ball housing part, the restraining part, and the launch rail (the part used for guiding before launching the game ball) launch the game ball onto the game board by centrifugal force. Although it is useful for doing so, it also leads to a complicated structure).

Are formed in a shape having a substantially U-shaped cross section (the shape is an example). The protruding tip of the ball support portion 25 is formed as a portion that supports the game ball 5. The ball support portion 25 is disposed so as to be located inside the rotation trajectory of the launch head 12 (the ball support portion 25 is located between the rotation trajectory of the launch head 12 and the first rod component 13 and the rotation shaft 8. Is placed to be located). On the other hand, the firing rail 6 is disposed so as to be located outside the rotation trajectory of the firing head 12. The ball support portion 25 is formed so that the support position with respect to the game ball 5 matches the support position of the launch rail 6. The game ball 5 at the launch position is supported so that the ball center is aligned with the rotation trajectory of the launch head 12. The ball support portions 25 are disposed and formed so as to have a predetermined interval with respect to one surface of the base member 4 and with a predetermined interval in the axial direction of the rotary shaft 8 with respect to the second rod component portion 14. (At least so as not to hinder the rotation of the firing rod 2, in other words, the second rod component 14 and the firing head 12 can be passed between the ball support portion 25 and the base member 4. ing). Since the firing rail 6 is disposed outside the rotation trajectory of the firing head 12, it does not hinder the rotation of the firing rod 2, and in this embodiment, approaches the outer wall surface on the back side of the ball feeding case 26. (The axial direction of the rotating shaft 8 is reduced in size).

  It is assumed that the ball support portion 25 can be provided on the base member 4 side. In this case, the first scissor constituting portion 13 is formed to be bent from the distal end side of the second scissor constituting portion 14 in the axial direction of the rotary shaft 8 and toward the base member 4.

  In the vicinity of the base end of such a sphere support portion 25, a sphere outlet 30 is formed so as to penetrate the wall. The ball outlet 30 is formed so as to penetrate in a substantially square shape, and passes when the game ball 5 is sent out to the launch position. A cutout 32 having a relatively large opening is formed in the side wall 31 of the ball feeding case 26. The notch 32 is formed so that a later-described actuated portion 38 of the ball feed 28 can be moved in the vertical direction of the drawing.

  The ball feeding lid 27 is formed as a rectangular flat plate. In such a ball feeding lid 27, a ball introduction port 33 for introducing the game ball 5 into the ball feeding means 7 is formed so as to penetrate therethrough. The sphere inlet 33 is formed so as to penetrate in a substantially square shape. Further, the ball introduction port 33 is disposed above the ball discharge port 30 in a front view. One end of the shaft support portion 29 is fixed to the fixing hole 34 of the ball feeding lid 27, and the other end is fixed to the fixing hole 35 of the ball feeding case 26. The ball feed 28 supported by the shaft support 29 is formed on the ball introduction port 33 side to receive the game ball 5 and to place the game ball 5 in a standby state by this reception, and a ball reception unit A ball passage hole 37 disposed on the lower side of 36 and an actuated portion 38 projecting outside through the notch 32.

  The acting portion 38 in the ball feed 28 is restricted by a rib 40 (a rib extending vertically) disposed in the approximate center of the ball feed case 26 in the range of movement (moving downward in the drawing) in its own weight direction. (It should be noted that the upward movement of the drawing may be regulated using a stopper portion 41 as shown in FIG. 16). At the time of this regulation, the game ball 5 at the position of the ball introduction port 33 is received by the ball receiving portion 36 and enters a standby state. The game ball 5 in the standby state is accommodated in the ball passage hole 37 when the actuated portion 38 moves upward. This upward movement is caused by the actuating portion 38 acting on the launching rod 2 acting portion. This is when 15 acts. The game ball 5 accommodated in the ball passage hole 37 penetrating in a substantially square shape is rolled out from the ball passage hole 37 and passes through the outlet 30 when the actuated portion 38 moves from above to below. It has become.

  Next, the assembling work according to the game ball launching apparatus 1 will be described based on the above configuration and structure (see FIGS. 7 and 8). The game ball launching apparatus 1 fixes the firing motor 3 to the other surface of the base member 4 and fixes the firing rod 2 assembled in advance to the rotary shaft 8 from one surface side of the base member 4 (launching rod). 2 is fixed to the base end side of the rotary shaft 8, so that the rotation of the launching rod 2 can be stabilized.) After this, the launch rail 6 is fixed to the rail fixing portion 21 and the pre-assembled ball The assembling is completed by fixing the feeding means 7 to the plurality of ball feeding means fixing portions 22. And as shown in FIG. 2, it attaches to the predetermined position of the gaming machine 201.

  Subsequently, the operation of the game ball launching apparatus 1 will be described with reference to FIGS. In addition, description about operation | movement demonstrates each the initial position of the launcher 2 in the game ball | bowl launching apparatus 1, the contact position of the launch head 12, and the separation position of the launch head 12.

  7 to 10, the game ball 5 is in the firing position at the initial position. The game ball 5 is supported by the launch rail 6 and the ball support portion 25 and is in a state of waiting for the launch head 12 to hit the ball. When the launch rod 2 rotates clockwise (rotates so as to rotate once in a certain direction) and reaches the contact position of the launch head 12, that is, the game ball 5 at the launch position is hit and fired. Then, the firing is completed as shown in FIGS. At this time, the action part 15 of the launcher 2 is in a state immediately before contacting the actuated part 38 as the launcher 2 rotates. Further, until the above-described launch, the game ball 5 to be fired next is in a state of being received by the ball receiving portion 36.

  13 and 14, when the firing is performed and the firing head 12 is separated from the firing position, the action portion 15 acts on the actuated portion 38. Thereby, the to-be-acted part 38 is pushed up in the figure. The game ball 5 in the standby state is accommodated in the ball passage hole 37 of the ball feed 28 (refer to FIG. 15 for the movement of the ball feed 28). When the action of the action part 15 on the actuated part 38 is released, the ball feed 28 moves downward in the figure due to its own weight. As a result, the game ball 5 starts rolling to the launch position via the ball outlet 30. When the delivery is completed, the game ball 5 is supported by the launch rail 6 and the ball support portion 25 at the launch position. In addition, the downward movement of the ball feed 28 is performed by its own weight, and a spring member 39 as shown in FIG. 16 may be used (the spring member according to the arrangement position of the game ball launching device 1). 39 can be used properly).

  Depending on the rotation speed determined by the operation of the operation handle 211 by the player, the launcher 2 continuously makes one turn in one direction, hits the game balls 5 one after another, and places the game balls 5 on the game board 203 (FIG. 2). Regarding the rotation of the launcher 2, a position detection device (not shown) capable of detecting the position of the launcher 2 is provided at the initial position, and the launcher 2 is stopped once at the same timing and then rotated. Be good.

  It goes without saying that the present invention can be variously modified without departing from the spirit of the present invention.
