It has a built-in variable resistor (not shown) that detects the amount of dynamic operation (rotation position) by the change in electrical resistance. When the operation handle 51 is rotated clockwise by the player, the touch sensor 51a is turned on and the resistance value of the variable resistor changes according to the amount of rotation operation, and the resistance value of the variable resistor is changed. The ball is launched with a strength corresponding to (launch intensity), whereby the ball is driven into the front surface of the game board 13 with a flying amount corresponding to the operation of the player. Further, when the operation handle 51 is not operated by the player, the touch sensor 51a and the firing stop switch 51b are turned off.

A ball pulling lever 52 for operating the ball stored in the lower plate 50 when the ball stored in the lower plate 50 is discharged downward is provided in the lower portion of the front surface of the lower plate 50. The ball pulling lever 52 is always urged to the right, and by sliding it to the left against the urging, the bottom opening formed on the bottom surface of the lower plate 50 is opened, and the bottom opening is opened. The ball naturally falls from the bottom opening and is discharged. The operation of the ball removing lever 52 is usually performed in a state where a box (generally referred to as a "thousand-car box") for receiving the balls discharged from the lower plate 50 is placed below the lower plate 50. An operation handle 51 is arranged on the right side of the lower plate 50 as described above, and an ashtray 53 is attached to the left side of the lower plate 50.

As shown in FIG. 2, the game board 13 has a base plate 60 cut into a substantially square shape in front view, a large number of nails (not shown) for ball guidance, a windmill, rails 76, 77, and a general prize. The opening 63, the first winning opening 64, the second winning opening 640, the variable winning device 65, the first through gate 66, the variable display device unit 80, etc. are assembled to form an inner frame 4 (see FIG. 1). It is attached to the back side of. The base plate 60 is made of wood to which thin plate materials are laminated, and is formed so that the player cannot see various structures arranged on the back side of the base plate 60 from the front side thereof. The general winning opening 63, the first winning opening 64, the second winning opening 640, the variable winning device 65, and the variable display device unit 80 are arranged in the through holes formed in the base plate 60 by router processing, and are arranged in the through hole of the game board 13. It is fixed from the front side with tapping screws or the like.

The front central portion of the game board 13 can be visually recognized from the front side of the inner frame 4 through the window portion 5c (see FIG. 1) of the front door 5. Hereinafter, the configuration of the game board 13 will be described mainly with reference to FIG. 2.

An outer rail 77 formed by bending a strip-shaped metal plate into a substantially arc shape is planted on the front surface of the game board 13, and a strip-shaped metal plate is placed inside the outer rail 77 in the same manner as the outer rail 77. The arc-shaped inner rail 76 formed in 1 is planted. The inner rail 76 and the outer rail 77 surround the outer periphery of the front surface of the game board 13, and the game board 13 and the glass unit 16 (see FIG. 1) surround the front and back, so that the front surface of the game board 13 is surrounded by a ball. A game area in which the game is played is formed by the behavior of. The game area is the front surface of the game board 13 and is divided by two rails 76 and 77 and a resin outer edge member 73 connecting the rails (a winning opening or the like is arranged and fired). This is the area where the rails flow down.

The two rails 76 and 77 are provided to guide the ball launched from the ball launching unit 112a (see FIG. 4) to the upper part of the game board 13. A return ball prevention member 68 is attached to the tip of the inner rail 76 (upper left portion in FIG. 2) to prevent the ball once guided to the upper part of the game board 13 from returning to the ball guide passage. Will be done. A return rubber 69 is attached to the tip of the outer rail 77 (upper right part in FIG. 2) at a position corresponding to the maximum flight portion of the ball, and the ball launched with a predetermined momentum hits the return rubber 69 and has momentum. Is dampened and bounced back toward the center.

In the lower left side of the front view (lower left side of FIG. 2) of the game area, first symbol display devices 37A and 37B including a plurality of LEDs as light emitting means and a 7-segment display are arranged. The first symbol display devices 37A and 37B display according to each control performed by the main control device 110 (see FIG. 4), and mainly display the gaming state of the pachinko machine 10. In the present embodiment, the first symbol display devices 37A and 37B are configured to be used properly depending on whether the ball has won the first winning opening 64 or the second winning opening 640. Specifically, when the ball wins the first winning opening 64, the first symbol display device 37A operates, while when the ball wins the second winning opening 640, the first The symbol display device 37B is configured to operate.

Further, the first symbol display devices 37A and 37B use LEDs to indicate whether the pachinko machine 10 is in the probabilistic change, the time reduction, or the normal state by the lighting state, or indicate whether the pachinko machine 10 is in the changing state or not by the lighting state. , Whether the stop symbol is a symbol corresponding to the probability variation jackpot, a symbol corresponding to the normal jackpot, or a missed symbol is indicated by the lighting state, the number of reserved balls is indicated by the lighting state, and the round during the jackpot is indicated by the 7-segment display device. Display the number and error. It should be noted that the plurality of LEDs are configured so that the emission colors (for example, red, green, blue) of the respective LEDs are different, and the combination of the emission colors can suggest various gaming states of the pachinko machine 10 with a small number of LEDs. it can.

In the pachinko machine 10, a lottery is performed when any of the first winning opening 64 and the second winning opening 640 wins a prize. In the lottery, the pachinko machine 10 determines whether or not it is a big hit (big hit lottery), and if it is determined to be a big hit, it also determines the type of the big hit. As the jackpot type determined here, 15R probability variation jackpot, 4R probability variation jackpot, and 15R normal jackpot are prepared. The first symbol display devices 37A and 37B not only indicate whether or not the result of the lottery is a big hit as a stop symbol after the end of the fluctuation, and if it is a big hit, a symbol corresponding to the jackpot type is shown. ..

Here, the "15R probability variation jackpot" is a probability variation jackpot in which the maximum number of rounds shifts to a high probability state after the jackpot of 15 rounds, and the "4R probability variation jackpot" is a jackpot with a maximum number of rounds of 4 rounds. It is a probabilistic jackpot that shifts to a high probability state after. Further, "15R normal jackpot" is a jackpot in which the maximum number of rounds is 15 rounds, and then the jackpot shifts to a low probability state, and the time is shortened during a predetermined number of fluctuations (for example, 100 fluctuations). is there.

In addition, the "high probability state" refers to a state in which the subsequent jackpot probability increases as an added value after the end of the jackpot, that is, during so-called probability fluctuation (probability change), in other words, a game in which it is easy to shift to a special gaming state. It is the state of. The high-probability state (during probabilistic change) in the present embodiment includes a game state in which the winning probability of the second symbol, which will be described later, is increased and the ball is likely to win the second winning opening 640. The "low probability state" refers to a state in which the probability change is not in progress, and a state in which the jackpot probability is normal, that is, a state in which the jackpot probability is lower than that in the probability change state. In addition, in the "low probability state", the time saving state (time saving medium) is a state in which the jackpot probability is a normal state, and the jackpot probability remains the same and only the hit probability of the second symbol is increased to increase the second winning opening 640. It refers to the state of the game in which the ball is easy to win. On the other hand, when the pachinko machine 10 is in the normal state, it is a state of the game in which neither the probability change nor the time reduction is performed (the jackpot probability and the hit probability of the second symbol are not increased).

During the probability change and the time reduction, not only the hit probability of the second symbol increases, but also the time when the first electric accessory 640a attached to the second winning opening 640 is opened is changed, which is longer than the normal time. The time is set. When the first electric accessory 640a is in the open state (open state), the second winning opening 640 is compared with the case where the first electric accessory 640a is in the closed state (closed state). The ball is in a state where it is easy to win a prize. Therefore, during the probability change or the time reduction, it becomes easy for the ball to win the second winning opening 640, and the number of times the big hit lottery is performed can be increased.

In addition, during the probability change or the time reduction, the opening time of the first electric accessory 640a attached to the second winning opening 640 is not changed, or in addition to changing the opening time, one hit. The change may be made so that the number of times that the first electric accessory 640a is opened is increased from the normal time. In addition, during the probability change or the time reduction, the hit probability of the second symbol is not changed, and the time when the first electric accessory 640a attached to the second winning opening 640 is opened and the first electric accessory per hit. At least one of the number of times the 640a is opened may be changed. In addition, the time during which the first electric accessory 640a attached to the second winning opening 640 is opened and the number of times the first electric accessory 640a is opened at one time are not changed during the probability change or the time reduction. It may be changed so that only the hit probability of the 2nd symbol is increased as compared with the normal medium.

In the game area, a plurality of general winning openings 63 are arranged in which 5 to 15 balls are paid out as prize balls when the balls are won. Further, a variable display device unit 80 is arranged in the central portion of the game area. The variable display device unit 80 is triggered by the winning (starting winning) of either the first winning opening 64 or the second winning opening 640, and is synchronized with the variable display in the first symbol display devices 37A and 37B, and is the third. A third symbol display device 81 composed of a liquid crystal display (hereinafter simply abbreviated as "display device") that displays variable symbols, and an LED that variablely displays the second symbol triggered by the passage of a sphere of the first through gate 66. A second symbol display device (not shown) composed of is provided.

Further, in the variable display device unit 80, a center frame 86 is arranged so as to surround the outer periphery of the third symbol display device 81. The third symbol display device 81 can be visually recognized from the opening opened in the center of the center frame 86.

The third symbol display device 81 is composed of a large 9-inch size liquid crystal display, and by controlling the display contents by the display control device 114 (see FIG. 4), for example, the upper, middle, and lower 3 Two symbol columns are displayed. Each symbol row is composed of a plurality of symbols (third symbol), and these third symbols are horizontally scrolled for each symbol row, and the third symbol is variably displayed on the display screen of the third symbol display device 81. It has become like. In the third symbol display device 81 of the present embodiment, the game state displayed by the control of the main control device 110 (see FIG. 4) is displayed by the first symbol display devices 37A and 37B, whereas the first of the third symbol display devices 81 is A decorative display is performed according to the display of the symbol display devices 37A and 37B. In addition, instead of the display device, for example, a reel or the like may be used to configure the third symbol display device 81.

The second symbol display device alternately alternates the “○” symbol and the “×” symbol as the display symbol (second symbol (not shown)) each time the sphere passes through the first through gate 66 for a predetermined time. It is a variable display that lights up. When the pachinko machine 10 detects that the ball has passed through the first through gate 66, a winning lottery is performed. As a result of the winning lottery, if it is a winning, the symbol "○" is stopped and displayed on the second symbol display device after the variation display of the second symbol. Further, if the result of the winning lottery is a failure, the symbol "x" is stopped and displayed on the second symbol display device after the variation display of the third symbol.

In the pachinko machine 10, when the variation display in the second symbol display device is stopped at a predetermined symbol (in the present embodiment, the symbol “○”), the first electric accessory 640a attached to the second winning opening 640 It is configured to be in operation (open) for a predetermined time.

The time required for the variation display of the second symbol is set to be shorter during the probability change or the time reduction than when the game state is normal. As a result, during the probability change and the time reduction, the variation display of the second symbol is performed in a short time, so that the winning lottery can be performed more than during the normal time. Therefore, since the chances of winning in the winning lottery increase, it is possible to give the player many opportunities to open the first electric accessory 640a of the second winning opening 640. Therefore, it is possible to make it easy for the ball to win the second winning opening 640 during the probability change and the time saving.

In addition, during the probability change or the time reduction, the second winning opening may be made during the probability change or the time reduction by other methods such as increasing the opening time and the number of times of opening the first electric accessory 640a per hit. When the ball is in a state where it is easy to win a prize in 640, the time required for the variable display of the second symbol may be constant regardless of the gaming state. On the other hand, when the time required for the variation display of the second symbol is set to be shorter than the normal time during the probability change or the time reduction, the hit probability may be constant regardless of the gaming state, or one hit. The opening time and the number of times of opening of the first electric accessory 640a may be constant regardless of the gaming state.

The first through gate 66 is assembled to the game board in the area on the right side of the variable display device unit 80. The first through gate 66 is configured so that a part of the balls that flow down the game board can pass through the balls that are fired on the game board. When the ball passes through the first through gate 66, a winning lottery for the second symbol is performed. After the winning lottery, variable display is performed on the second symbol display device, and if the winning lottery result is a winning symbol, a symbol "○" is displayed as a stop symbol of the variable display, and if the winning lottery result is incorrect. For example, a symbol of "x" is displayed as a stop symbol of the variable display.

The number of times the ball has passed through the first through gate 66 is held up to a total of four times, and the number of held balls is displayed by the above-mentioned first symbol display devices 37A and 37B and the second symbol holding lamp (not shown). ) Is also lit and displayed. Four second symbol holding lamps are provided for the maximum number of holding lamps, and are symmetrically arranged below the third symbol display device 81.

The variation display of the second symbol is performed by switching the lighting and non-lighting of a plurality of lamps in the second symbol display device as in the present embodiment, as well as the first symbol display devices 37A, 37B and the third. It may be performed by using a part of the symbol display device 81. Similarly, the second symbol holding lamp may be turned on by a part of the third symbol display device 81. Further, the maximum number of reserved balls for the passage of the balls of the first through gate 66 is not limited to 4, but may be set to 3 times or less, or 5 times or more (for example, 8 times). .. Further, the number of through gates to be assembled is not limited to two, and may be three or more. Further, the assembling position of the through gate is not limited to the left and right sides of the variable display device unit 80, and may be, for example, below the variable display device unit 80. Further, since the number of reserved balls is indicated by the first symbol display devices 37A and 37B, the lighting display may not be performed by the second symbol holding lamp.

Below the variable display device unit 80, a first winning opening 64 in which a ball can win a prize is arranged. When the ball wins the first winning opening 64, the first winning opening switch (not shown) provided on the back surface side of the game board 13 is turned on, and the main control device 110 is caused by the turning on of the first winning opening switch. A big hit lottery is made in (see FIG. 4), and the display according to the lottery result is shown by the first symbol display device 37A.

On the other hand, on the right side of the front view of the first winning opening 64, a second winning opening 640 in which the ball can win is arranged. When the ball wins the second winning opening 640, the second winning opening switch (not shown) provided on the back side of the game board 13 is turned on, and the main control device 110 (not shown) is turned on due to the turning on of the second winning opening switch. A big hit lottery is made (see FIG. 4), and the display according to the lottery result is shown on the first symbol display device 37B.

In addition, the first winning opening 64 and the second winning opening 640 are also one of the winning openings in which five balls are paid out as prize balls when the balls are won. In the present embodiment, the number of prize balls paid out when a ball wins in the first winning opening 64 and the number of prize balls paid out when a ball wins in the second winning opening 640 are configured to be the same. , The number of prize balls paid out when a ball wins in the first winning opening 64 and the number of prize balls paid out when a ball wins in the second winning opening 640, for example, a ball to the first winning opening 64 The number of prize balls to be paid out when a prize is won may be three, and the number of prize balls to be paid out when a ball is won to the second winning opening 640 may be configured to be five.

Further, on the left side of the first winning opening 64 in the front view, a third winning opening 82 in which the ball can win is arranged. When the ball wins, the third winning opening 82 can throw the winning ball to the first opening 521 of the distribution unit 500, which will be described later, via the throwing unit 600. That is, the third winning opening 82 is arranged in a state of communicating with the first opening 521, which will be described later.

A third electric accessory 82a is attached to the third winning opening 82. The third electric accessory 82a is configured to be rotationally displaced with respect to the game board 13 so as to be openable and closable. Normally, the third electric accessory 82a is in a closed state (reduced state) and the ball wins a third prize. It is difficult to win a prize in the mouth 82. On the other hand, when a big hit is determined triggered by the winning of the first winning opening 64 or the second winning opening 640, the third electric accessory 82a is opened (expanded) for a predetermined time before, after, or during the big hit. State), and the ball is in a state where it is easy to win a prize in the third winning opening 82. Further, a sensor device SE1 for detecting a passing ball is mounted on the downstream side of the third winning opening 82.

The timing of opening the third electric accessory 82a does not have to be triggered by the winning of the first winning opening 64 and the second winning opening 5640, and the passage of the first through gate 66 sleeping ball. As a result of the variation display of the second symbol performed with the above, when the symbol of "○" is displayed on the second symbol display device, it may be opened.

A first electric accessory 640a is attached to the second winning opening 640. The first electric accessory 640a is configured to be openable and closable, and normally the first electric accessory 640a is in a closed state (reduced state), making it difficult for the ball to win a prize in the second winning opening 640. There is. On the other hand, when the symbol "○" is displayed on the second symbol display device as a result of the variation display of the second symbol performed when the ball passes through the first through gate 66, the first electric accessory 640a is displayed. It becomes an open state (expanded state), and the ball can easily win a prize in the second winning opening 640.

As described above, during the probability change and the time reduction, the probability of hitting the second symbol is higher than during the normal time, and the time required for the variation display of the second symbol is short. ”Is easy to display, and the number of times that the first electric accessory 640a is in the open state (enlarged state) increases. Further, during the probability change or the time reduction, the time for opening the first electric accessory 640a is also longer than during the normal operation. Therefore, during the probability change or the time reduction, it is possible to create a state in which the ball can easily win the second winning opening 640 as compared with the normal time.

Here, the probability of winning a jackpot is the same in both the low probability state and the high probability state when the ball wins in the first winning opening 64 and when the ball wins in the second winning opening 640. However, the probability of becoming a 15R probability variation jackpot as the type of jackpot selected in the case of a jackpot is higher when the ball wins the second winning opening 640 than when the ball wins the first winning opening 64. It is set. On the other hand, the first winning opening 64 does not have the first electric accessory 640a as in the second winning opening 640, and the ball is in a state where it can always win a prize.

Therefore, in normal times, the electric accessory attached to the second winning opening 640 is often in a closed state, and it is difficult to win the second winning opening 640. Then, the ball is fired so that the ball passes to the left side of the variable display device unit 80 (so-called "left-handed"), and by winning the first winning opening 64, many chances of a big hit lottery are obtained and the big hit is obtained. It is advantageous for the player to aim at that.

On the other hand, during the probability change or the time reduction, by passing the ball through the first through gate 66, the first electric accessory 640a attached to the second winning opening 640 is likely to be in an open state, and the second winning opening 640 is won. Since it is in an easy state, the ball is launched toward the second winning opening 640 so that the ball passes to the right of the variable display device unit 80 (so-called “right-handed”), and passes through the first through gate 66. It is advantageous for the player to open the first electric accessory 640a and aim for a 15R probability variation jackpot by winning the second winning opening 640.

As described above, the pachinko machine 10 of the present embodiment fires a ball at the player according to the gaming state of the pachinko machine 10 (whether it is in the probabilistic change, in the time saving, or in the normal state). You can change the method of "left-handed" and "right-handed". Therefore, it is possible to change the way the ball is hit by the player, so that the game can be enjoyed.

A variable winning device 65 is arranged on the right side of the first winning opening 64, and a horizontally long rectangular specific winning opening (large opening opening) 65a is provided in a substantially central portion thereof. In the pachinko machine 10, when the jackpot lottery performed due to the winning of either the first winning opening 64 or the second winning opening 640 becomes a jackpot, the jackpot is stopped after a predetermined time (variable time) has elapsed. The first symbol display device 37A or the first symbol display device 37B is turned on so as to be a symbol, and the stop symbol corresponding to the jackpot is displayed on the third symbol display device 81 to indicate the occurrence of the jackpot. After that, the gaming state transitions to a special gaming state (big hit) where the ball is easy to win. As this special game state, the specific winning opening 65a, which is normally closed, is opened for a predetermined time (for example, until 30 seconds have passed or until 10 balls are won).

The specific winning opening 65a is closed after a lapse of a predetermined time, and after the closing, the specific winning opening 65a is opened again for a predetermined time. The opening / closing operation of the specific winning opening 65a can be repeated up to 15 times (15 rounds), for example. The state in which this opening / closing operation is performed is a form of a special gaming state that is advantageous for the player, and the player is given a larger amount of prize balls than usual as a game value (game value). Is done.

Specifically, the variable winning device 65 includes a horizontally long rectangular opening / closing plate that covers the specific winning opening 65a, and a large opening solenoid (not shown) for driving the opening / closing forward with the lower side of the opening / closing plate as an axis. And have. The specific winning opening 65a is normally closed so that the ball cannot win or is difficult to win. In the case of a big hit, the large opening solenoid is driven to tilt the opening / closing plate downward on the front surface to temporarily form an open state in which the ball can easily win a prize in the specific winning opening 65a. It operates so as to alternate between the state and the state.

The special gaming state is not limited to the above-described form. A large opening that opens and closes separately from the specific winning opening 65a is provided in the game area, and when the LED corresponding to the big hit is turned on in the first symbol display devices 37A and 37B, the specific winning opening 65a is opened for a predetermined time. A special game in which a large opening provided separately from the specific winning opening 65a is opened a predetermined number of times for a predetermined time when the ball wins a prize in the specific winning opening 65a while the specific winning opening 65a is open. It may be formed as a state. Further, the specific winning opening 65a is not limited to one, and one or two or more (for example, three) may be arranged, and the arrangement position is not limited to the right side of the first winning opening 64, for example. It may be on the left side of the variable display device unit 80.

Further, a sticker having a decoration (pattern, pattern, etc.) formed on the front side (arrow F direction side) is attached to the base plate 60 so that the player can visually recognize the decoration. The decoration on the front side of the base plate 60 is not limited to the sticker, and the decoration may be printed (painted) on the front surface of the base plate 60.

The general winning opening unit 150 is arranged in the game area (front of the base plate 60) of the game board 13, and the route of the game ball flowing down the game area can be changed. Further, the general winning opening unit 150 is the end on the lower side (arrow D direction side) in the gravity direction in the front view (arrow B direction view) with respect to the game area formed by being surrounded by the inner rail 76 and the outer rail 77. It is placed along the part. In addition, in FIGS. 13 to 16, the seal arranged on the base plate 60 is illustrated with the reference numeral of the decorative member 60c. Further, in the present embodiment, a character (person) is drawn on the decorative member 60c.

The general winning opening unit 150 includes a main body portion 151 formed in a crescent shape when viewed from the front, a first standing portion 152 erected on the front side (arrow F direction side) from the end portion of the main body portion 151, and the like. The first erection portion 152 is arranged on the back side of the main body portion 151 and the second erection portion 153 extending from the end portion on the upper side in the gravity direction (arrow U direction side) toward the center side of the game area. It mainly includes a decorative member 154 to be formed, and a plurality of (three in the present embodiment) general winning openings 63 formed on the front side of the main body portion 151.

The main body portion 151 is set to have an outer shape slightly larger than the opening shape of the second opening 60b opened in the plate thickness direction of the base plate 60, and is covered with the opening of the second opening 60b. It is arranged on the front side of the. Further, the second opening 60b allows the game ball flowing into the general winning opening 63 arranged in the main body portion 151 to be thrown to the back side of the game board 13 (base plate 60). Further, the main body portion 151 has an inclined surface 151a that inclines toward the base plate 60 side from the inner portion toward the outer end portion in the front view, and a recess that is recessed in the back surface of the base plate 60 side (arrow B direction side). It is mainly provided with 151b and a back surface 151d forming the back surface of the main body portion 151 excluding the recess 151b.

The inclined surface 151a is formed so as to be inclined by about 30 degrees with respect to the front surface of the base plate 60. As a result, the game ball flowing down the game area of the game board 13 can be brought into contact with the inclined surface 151a and flowed down along the inclination of the inclined surface 151a, and can be moved to the front side of the main body portion 151.

Here, when the inclined surface 151a is not formed at the end of the main body 151 and the side surface of the main body 151 is formed perpendicular to the front surface of the base plate 60, it flows down the game area of the game board 13. There is a possibility that the game ball to be abutted (collisions) from a direction orthogonal to the side surface of the main body 151, and the abutted game ball bounces in the direction opposite to the flow direction.

On the other hand, in the present embodiment, since the game ball in contact with the side surface of the main body portion 151 can be moved to the front side of the main body portion by the inclined surface 151a, the flow of the game ball flowing down the game area is temporary. It is possible to suppress the stagnation. As a result, the game ball can be smoothly flowed down from the front side of the base plate 60 to the front of the main body portion 151 of the general winning opening unit 150.

The back surface 151d is the back surface of the main body portion 151 as described above, and is formed with a constant width around the recess 151b in the rear view. Further, the back surface 151d is arranged in contact with the front surface of the base plate 60 (decorative member 60c) in a state where the general winning opening unit 150 is arranged on the base plate 60.

The recess 151b is recessed toward the front side (the side in the direction of arrow F). Further, the recess 151b has a recessed bottom surface 151b2 which is a bottom surface in the recessing direction, and an inner side surface 151b3 which is erected from the outer edge of the recessed bottom surface 151b2 toward the back surface side (arrow B direction side).

The recessed bottom surface 151b2 is an adhesive surface of the decorative member 154 described later, and is formed as a flat surface parallel to the front surface of the main body portion 151. As a result, when the decoration of the decorative member 154 is visually recognized through the main body portion 151, the decoration of the decorative member 154 can be uniformly visually recognized.

The inner side surface 151b3 extends in the front-rear direction (arrow FB direction) in front view. Further, the shape of the inner side surface 151b3 in front view is formed to be substantially the same as the outer shape of the decorative member 154 described later. As a result, when the decorative member 154 is arranged in the recess 151b, it is possible to prevent the decorative member 154 from protruding to the outside of the recess 151b. Therefore, when the general winning opening unit 150 is arranged on the base plate 60, the decorative member 154 is sandwiched between the back surface 151d and the base plate 60, so that the decorative member 154 is sandwiched between the back surface 151d of the main body 151 and the base plate 60. It is possible to prevent the formation of a gap in the space. As a result, it is possible to prevent the main body portion 151 from projecting to the front side of the base plate 60 from the normal arrangement position. As a result, the game ball can be smoothly flowed down from the front side of the base plate 60 to the front of the main body portion 151 of the general winning opening unit 150.

The recess 151b is a recess for accommodating the decorative member 154 described later in the recessed space, and the recessing depth (the recessed distance to the front side (arrow F direction side)) is larger than the thickness dimension of the decorative member 154. It is set large. Further, the recess 151b is recessed along the shape of the end portion of the main body portion 151 at a position separated from the end portion of the main body portion 151 in the front view to the inside of the main body portion 151 by a certain distance.

Therefore, when the decorative member 154 is arranged inside the recess 151b, it is possible to prevent the back surface of the decorative member 154 from projecting toward the back surface side of the main body portion 151. Therefore, when the general winning opening unit 150 is arranged on the base plate 60, the decorative member 154 is sandwiched between the recessed bottom surface 151b2 and the base plate 60, so that the back surface 151d of the main body 151 and the base plate 60 are connected to each other. It is possible to suppress the formation of gaps between them. As a result, it is possible to prevent the main body portion 151 from projecting to the front side of the base plate 60 from the normal arrangement position. As a result, the game ball can be smoothly flowed down from above the gravity direction of the main body 151 (in the direction of the arrow U) to the front of the main body 151 of the general winning opening unit 150.

The first erection portion 152 is erected on the front side (arrow F direction side) from the end portion of the main body portion 151 on the end portion side (inner rail 76 side) of the game area. The standing dimension of the first standing portion 152 is set to be substantially the same as the width dimension of the inner rail 76 planted in front of the base plate 60 (decorative member 60c) in the planting direction. Further, in the first standing portion 152, the distance between the front door 5 covering the front side of the game board 13 facing the glass unit 16 is set to be smaller than the diameter of the game ball. As a result, the game ball flowing down the front side of the main body portion 151 can collide with the first standing portion 152 at the lower end portion in the gravity direction of the game region. As a result, it is possible to prevent the game ball flowing down the front side of the main body 151 from colliding with the inner rail 76, and it is possible to prevent the inner rail 76 from colliding with the game ball and being bent.

Here, the space between the inner rail 76 and the outer rail 77 facing each other is a space for guiding the game ball launched from the ball launching unit 112a (see FIG. 4) to the upper part of the game board 13, and is a space with the inner rail 76. The space for arranging reinforcements and the like between facing the outer rail 77 is limited. Therefore, it is difficult to dispose the reinforcement for the purpose of preventing the inner rail 76 from bending, and there is a risk that the game ball flowing down the game area collides with the inner rail 76 and the inner rail 76 bends.

On the other hand, in the present embodiment, the general winning opening unit 150 (first standing portion 152) arranged in the game area makes it difficult for the game ball flowing down the game area to collide with the inner rail 76. it can. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the distance between the inner rail 76 and the outer rail 77 from being changed due to the bending of the inner rail 76. As a result, the game ball can be stably launched into the game area.

The second erection portion 153 extends downwardly inclines from the end of the first erection portion 152 on the upper side in the gravity direction (arrow U direction side) toward the center of the game area (first winning opening 64) in the front view. It is installed (see Fig. 2). As a result, the game ball flowing down between the inner rail 76 and the center frame 83 facing each other (see FIG. 2) is placed on the upper surface (the surface on the arrow U direction side) of the downwardly inclined extending portion of the second standing portion 153. When the ball is thrown, the game ball can be rolled along the downward inclination of the second standing portion 153 and thrown toward the center of the game area. As a result, the game ball flowing down the game area on the side opposite to each other (arrow L direction side) between the inner rail 76 and the outer rail 77 is won (inflowed) into the first winning opening 64 arranged in the center of the game area. It can be made easy.

The decorative member 154 is formed in a plate shape and is adhered to the back surface side of the main body portion 151. Further, the decorative member 154 is formed on the front surface of the main body portion 151 side with a decoration formed on the decorative member 60c of the base plate 60 and a decoration continuous with the front view. As a result, the decoration formed on the base plate 60 can be visually recognized as the decoration of 1 together with the decoration of the decorative member 154. In the present embodiment, a part of the character (person) is drawn on the decorative member 154, and the character of the decorative member 60c and the character of the decorative member 154 can be visually recognized as one character.

Further, the decorative member 154 is formed of a light-transmitting material. As a result, the light that has passed through the second opening 60b from the back surface side (arrow B direction side) of the base plate 60 is incident from the back surface of the decorative member 154 and emitted from the front side (arrow F direction side) of the decorative member 154. Can be made to. Therefore, the decoration formed on the front surface of the decorative member 154 can be brightened so that the player can visually recognize the decoration, and the decoration of the decorative member 154 can be easily recognized by the player.

Next, the base plate 60 and the general winning opening unit 150 will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 13 is a cross-sectional view of the game board 13 in line XIII-XIII of FIG.

As shown in FIG. 13, the decorative member 154 is formed to have a larger outer shape than the opening shape of the second opening 60b of the base plate 60 in the front view. As a result, when the general winning opening unit 150 is arranged on the base plate 60, the end portion of the decorative member 154 is located between the concave bottom surface 151b2 of the concave portion 151b of the main body portion 151 and the base plate 60 (decorative member 60c). Is placed in. Therefore, when the adhesive between the main body portion 151 and the decorative member 154 is peeled off due to aged deterioration or the like, it is possible to prevent the decorative member 154 from falling off from the game board 13.

Further, the decorative member 154 has a width dimension that overlaps with the base plate 60 in the front-rear direction (arrow FB direction), and has a circular shape of the base plate 60 into which a protrusion 155 projecting from the back surface of the main body 151, which will be described later, is inserted. The diameter is set to be larger than the diameter of the opening 60 g (see FIG. 11). As a result, a gap is formed between the decoration of the decorative member 154 and the decorative member 60c in the front view due to the displacement of the arrangement of the decorative member 154 with respect to the main body 151 or the displacement of the position where the decorative member 60c is formed. Can be suppressed. As a result, the decorative member 60c of the base plate 60 and the decoration of the decorative member 154 can be easily recognized by the player as one decoration.

Further, the three general winning openings 63 arranged in the main body 151 are connected to openings 514 to 516 of the distribution unit 500 (see FIG. 71) arranged on the back side of the game board 13, and are generally used. The game ball that has won the prize opening 63 is thrown to the fourth throwing path KR4 of the distribution unit 500. A detailed description of the distribution unit 500 will be described later.

Further, in the distribution unit 500, a substrate (not shown) having a light source capable of irradiating light on the front side is arranged on the base plate 520 (see FIG. 71), and the light emitted from the substrate is the base plate. The back surface of the general winning opening unit 150 is irradiated through the second opening 60b of 60.

Therefore, the second opening 60b is used as a space for irradiating the path of the game ball winning from the general winning opening 63 of the general winning opening unit 150 and the back surface of the general winning opening unit 150 with light. As a result, it is not necessary to separately form an opening for throwing the game ball, an opening for passing light, and two openings, so that the entire back surface of the general winning opening unit 150 is irradiated with light. In addition to making it easier, the general winning opening 63 can be arranged in the entire area of the main body 151 of the general winning opening unit 150. As a result, the degree of freedom in designing the general winning opening unit 150 can be improved, and light is emitted from the entire area of the general winning opening unit 150 to give the player the decoration (decorative member 154) of the general winning opening unit 150. It can be made easy to see.

Further, according to the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 13, the decorative decorative member 154 connected to the decorative member 60c of the base plate 60 of the game board 13 is a main body portion arranged along the front surface of the base plate 60. Since it is arranged on the back surface of 151, the decorative member 60c of the base plate 60 and the decoration of the decorative member 154 can be arranged at positions adjacent to (approaching) in the front-rear direction (arrow FB direction). As a result, the decorative member 60c and the decorative member 154 are tilted at an angle with respect to the front view (for example, a viewpoint at the same height as the upper end in the gravity direction of the pachinko machine 10 (see FIG. 1)). When 154 is visually recognized, it is possible to prevent the decorations of the decorative member 60c and the decorative member 154 from being visually recognized as being displaced as compared with the case where the decoration of the general winning opening unit is arranged in front of the general winning opening unit. As a result, the connecting portion between the decorative member 60c of the base plate 60 and the decoration of the decorative member 154 can be visually recognized by the player in the same positional relationship regardless of the player's viewpoint, and the design of the game board 13 is improved. it can.

Next, with reference to FIG. 14, the connection between the decorative member 154 and the decorative member 60c of the base plate 60 will be described in detail. FIG. 14 is a partially enlarged cross-sectional view of the game board 13 in the range XIV of FIG. In FIG. 14, the light path visually recognized by the player is illustrated by a two-dot chain line.

As described above, the decorative member 60c of the base plate 60 and the decoration of the decorative member 154 are visually recognized by the player as one decoration in total. Therefore, in order for the player to visually recognize the decorative member 60c of the base plate 60 and the decoration of the decorative member 154 as one decoration (pattern), it is necessary to suppress the misalignment of the two decorations. However, when forming the decoration on the base plate 60 or when arranging the decorative member 154 on the main body 151, it is difficult to arrange the decoration at an accurate position (the same position each time). Therefore, when the general winning opening unit 150 is arranged on the base plate 60, the decorative members 154 are arranged so as to be displaced from each other with respect to the decorative member 60c of the base plate 60, so that the decorative member 60c and the decorative member 154 are arranged. There is a problem that it is difficult for the player to visually recognize the decoration as one decoration in combination with the decoration of.

On the other hand, according to the present embodiment, the end portion of the decorative member 154 is arranged on the back surface side of the inclined surface 151a. As a result, the connecting portion between the decoration of the decorative member 154 and the decoration of the decorative member 60c of the base plate 60 can be made difficult to be accurately recognized by the player (the connecting portion is blurred so that the player can visually recognize the connecting portion). Therefore, the decorative member 60c and the decorative member 154 can be recognized by the player as one decoration.

More specifically, as shown in FIG. 14, the connecting portion between the decoration of the decorative member 154 and the decoration of the decorative member 60c (hereinafter referred to as “boundary P1” (see FIG. 14)) is an inclined surface 151a of the main body portion 151. Located on the back side of. Therefore, the light emitted from the boundary P1 toward the player's viewpoint and the connecting portion between the front surface of the main body 151 and the inclined surface 151a (hereinafter referred to as "boundary P2" (see FIG. 14)) of the player The light emitted toward the viewpoint can be the light reflected at different positions of the decorative member 60c or the decorative member 154 (that is, on the path of the light emitted from the boundary P1 toward the player's viewpoint. In addition, it is possible to suppress the formation of the boundary P2).

Therefore, at the boundary P1, the misalignment of the decorative member 60c with respect to the decorative member 154 is easily recognized by the player as the misalignment of the decoration, and at the boundary P2, the misalignment of the decoration due to the difference in the refraction direction of the light is easily recognized by the player. Since the decorations visually recognized by the player from the respective positions of the boundary P1 and the boundary P2 can be the decorations at different positions, the misalignment of the decorations at the boundary P1 and the boundary P2 is the same at the same position. It is possible to prevent the player from seeing it. Therefore, the misalignment of the decoration at the boundary P1 and the misalignment of the decoration at the boundary P2 are combined, and the amount of the misalignment of the decoration can be prevented from being recognized by the player. As a result, the decoration of the decorative member 60c and the decorative member 154 can be easily recognized by the player as the decoration of 1, and the design of the game board 13 can be improved.

Further, by arranging the boundary P1 on the back side of the inclined surface 151a, from the player's point of view, the connecting portion between the decorative member 60c and the main body portion 151 (hereinafter referred to as "boundary P3" (see FIG. 14)) and The boundary P1 can be arranged between the boundary P2 and the boundary P2. Therefore, the boundary P1 can be arranged between the misaligned positions (boundaries P2 and P3) of the decoration due to the refraction of the light when the light is emitted from the main body 151. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the area to be recognized from being displaced from the position of the decoration from being extended. That is, it is possible to limit the area where the decoration is visually recognized with the position shifted with respect to the front surface of the game board 13. As a result, the misaligned area of the decoration can be reduced with respect to the game area of the game board 13, so that the decoration of the decoration member 60c and the decoration member 154 can be easily recognized by the player as one decoration.

In this embodiment, the face of the character is decorated on the decorative member 60c of the base plate 60, and the body of the character decorated on the decorative member 60c is decorated on the decorative member 154 of the general winning opening unit 150. That is, the outline of the decoration is positioned at the connecting portion of the decoration between the decorative member 60c and the decorative member 154. Therefore, the player can be made to recognize that the misalignment of the connecting portion between the decorative member 60c and the decorative member 154 is the outline of the decoration. As a result, the decoration of the decorative member 60c and the decorative member 154 can be easily recognized by the player as the decoration of 1.

Further, in this embodiment, the decorative member 60c of the base plate 60 is decorated up to the neck of the character's face, and the decorative member 154 of the general winning opening unit 150 is decorated with the decorative member 60c. Is decorated, and the character's face (neck) and clothes are decorated with different shades (in this embodiment, the face is skin-colored and the clothes are black). As a result, the misalignment of the connecting portion between the decorative member 60c and the decorative member 154 is set as a portion having a different hue, so that it is difficult for the player to recognize that the decorative member 60c and the decorative member 154 are separated. Can be done. As a result, the decoration of the decorative member 60c and the decorative member 154 can be easily recognized by the player as the decoration of 1.

As described above, the main body 151 is provided with a recess 151b on the back side, and a decorative member 154 is disposed inside the recess 151b. Further, the shape of the inner side surface (inner side surface 151b3) of the recess 151b is set to be substantially the same as the outer shape of the decorative member 154 in the front view. As a result, when the decorative member 154 is arranged in the main body portion 151, the inner side surface 151b3 of the recess 151b can be used as a guide (positioning). As a result, when the decorative member 154 is attached to the main body 151, it is possible to prevent the arrangement of the decorative member 154 from being displaced with respect to the main body 151.

Further, on the back surface side of the main body portion 151, protrusions 155 (see FIG. 15) protruding in a columnar shape are formed at a plurality of positions (three places (see FIG. 15) in the present embodiment). The protrusion 155 is a positioning protrusion that positions the general winning opening unit 150 with the base plate 60 when the general winning opening unit 150 is arranged on the base plate 60, and is inserted into the recess 60d recessed in the base plate 60. Further, at least one position (one place in the present embodiment) of the protrusion 155 is projected from the recessed bottom surface 151b2 of the recess 151b and inserted into the opening formed in the decorative member 154. Therefore, the protrusion 155 can be used as positioning when the decorative member 154 is arranged on the main body 151.

Therefore, the protrusion 155 can be used for positioning when the general winning opening unit 150 is arranged on the base plate 60, and can be positioned when the decorative member 154 is arranged on the main body portion 151. Therefore, the portion to be positioned when the decorative member 154 is arranged on the front side of the decorative member 60c can be the same portion, so that the decoration of the decorative member 60c and the decoration of the decorative member 154 are misaligned. Can be suppressed. As a result, the decoration of the decorative member 60c and the decoration of the decorative member 154 can be combined and easily recognized by the player as one decoration.

Further, the protrusion 155 projecting from the recessed bottom surface 151b2 is formed in a region (attachment region of the adhesive tape 154a) in the range E1 (see FIG. 15) described later. As a result, when the decorative member 154 is arranged in the main body 151, one part of the edge of the decorative member 154 is positioned on the inner side surface 151b3 of the recess 151b with the protrusion 155 inserted in the opening of the decorative member 154. By arranging them together, the two positions of the decorative member 154 can be positioned with respect to the main body portion 151. Therefore, it is not necessary to align the edge portion of the decorative member 154 at two positions on the inner side surface 151b3 of the recess 151b and dispose the decorative member 154 on the main body portion 151. As a result, the work of arranging the decorative member 154 on the main body 151 can be simplified.

Next, the adhesion between the main body portion 151 and the decorative member 154 will be described with reference to FIGS. 15 and 16. FIG. 15 is a rear view of the general winning opening unit 150, and FIG. 16 is a partially enlarged cross-sectional view of the game board 13 in the range XIV of FIG. In FIG. 15, the range of the adhesive tape 154a attached to the decorative member 154 is illustrated by a two-dot chain line with a reference numeral E1. Further, in FIG. 14, the light path visually recognized by the player is illustrated by a two-dot chain line. In the present embodiment, the adhesive tape 154a is formed from the light-transmitting double-sided tape and is attached to the range E1.

As shown in FIGS. 15 and 16, the adhesive tape 154a for adhering the decorative member 154 and the main body portion 151 is attached with a constant width along the end portion of the decorative member 154. As a result, in the area where the adhesive tape 154a is not attached (the portion other than the range E1), the main body portion 151 (concave bottom surface 151b2) and the decorative member 154 (front surface of the decorative member) are connected by the thickness of the adhesive tape 154a. A gap (space) of a predetermined width is formed between them.

Further, the adhesive tape 154a is adhered to a region from the end of the decorative member 154, passing through the boundary P3 and exceeding the virtual line PK1 (see FIG. 14) orthogonal to the inclined surface 151a. As a result, the light emitted from the inclined surface 151a passing through the main body 151 is covered with the adhesive tape 154a on the portion affected by the decoration of the decorative member 154 (the portion where the wavelength is changed) E1 (decorative member). It can be the end of 154). As a result, even when the player visually recognizes the general winning opening unit 150 from a predetermined angle or more, the decoration member 60c and the decoration of the decoration member 154 can be easily visually recognized by the player as one decoration.

Here, when the player visually recognizes the game board 13 from a position higher than usual (for example, a viewpoint having the same height as the upper end in the gravity direction of the pachinko machine 10 (see FIG. 1)), FIG. As shown, the light L that escapes from the inclined surface 151a toward the player's line of sight repeatedly reflects the front and back of the main body 151 and passes through the inside of the main body 151. In this case, if the entire front surface of the decorative member 154 comes into contact with the main body 151 via the adhesive tape 154a, the wavelength of light is changed by the decoration of the decorative member 154 each time it is reflected on the decorative member 154 side. To. Therefore, the light emitted from the inclined surface 151a passing through the inside of the main body portion 151 cannot be reflected only by the change in wavelength due to the decoration of the end portion of the decorative member 154. Therefore, since the decoration recognized by the player from the inclined surface 151a is different from the wavelength of the decoration recognized by the player from the front of the main body 151, the decoration is not connected between the main body 151 and the inclined surface 151a. There was a problem.

On the other hand, in the present embodiment, by setting the adhesive portion of the decorative member 154 to the main body portion 151 only in the range E1, the light L that reflects and passes through the inside of the main body portion 151 is the decoration of the decorative member 154. It can be made unaffected (the wavelength of light does not change). As a result, as shown in FIG. 16, the light emitted from the inclined surface 151a passing through the main body 151 attaches the adhesive tape 154a to the portion affected by the decoration of the decorative member 154 (the portion where the wavelength is changed). The pasted range E1 (the end portion of the decorative member 154) can be set, and the decoration of the inclined surface 151a visually recognized by the player can be easily recognized by the player as being connected to the adjacent decoration. As a result, the design of the game board 13 can be improved.

Next, the special winning device 550 will be described with reference to FIGS. 17 to 36. First, a method of arranging the special winning device 550 will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 17 is an exploded perspective front view of the center frame 86.

Thereby, the game ball passing through the portion accommodated inside the recess 86b2 of the first unit 551 can be detected.

The special winning device 550 is arranged on the front side (arrow F direction side) of the projecting portion 86b of the center frame 86 and the back side (arrow B direction side) of the projecting portion 86b. The second unit 552 and the second unit 552 are mainly provided.

The first unit 551 is provided with a space (path) through which the game ball can flow down, and a part of the first unit 551 is arranged in the game area of the game board 13. Further, the first unit 551 is arranged in the center frame 86 by a screw inserted through the second unit 552. A detailed description of the arrangement method of the first unit 551 and the second unit 552 will be described later.

Next, the configuration of the first unit 551 of the special winning device 550 will be described with reference to FIGS. 18 to 20. 18 (a) is a front view of the first unit 551, FIG. 18 (b) is a side view of the first unit 551, and FIG. 18 (c) is a rear view of the first unit 551. .. FIG. 19 is an exploded perspective front view of the first unit 551, and FIG. 20 is an exploded perspective rear view of the first unit 551.

As shown in FIGS. 18 to 20, the first unit 551 includes a first path member 560 arranged on the front side and a second path member 570 arranged on the back side of the first path member 560. , A third path member 580 arranged on the back surface of the second path member 570, and the third path member 580 are mainly provided.

The first path member 560 is formed with a front plate 564 formed in a plate shape along the front surface of the game area of the game board 13 and a substantially U-shaped cross section opened on the upper side (arrow U direction side). The first receiving section 561, the second receiving section 562, and the third receiving section 563 projecting from the upper end to the back side of the face plate 564, and the first receiving section 561, the second receiving section 562, and the third receiving section 563 thereof. A first wall portion 565 formed so as to be connected to the lower side (arrow D direction side) of the portion 563 and extending along a part of the end portion of the front plate 564, and a lower portion of the first wall portion 565 thereof. It is mainly provided with two sets of second wall portions 566 and third wall portions 567, which are formed in the above and project from two locations separated by a predetermined interval.

The front plate 564 is a plate member that serves as a wall portion on the front side of the flow path of the game ball formed between the second path member 570 or the third path member 580, which will be described later, and is formed of a light transmitting member. To. As a result, the player can visually recognize the game ball flowing down the inside of the first unit 551 through the front plate 564.

Further, the front plate 564 includes a guide portion 564a projecting from the second path member 570 side (back surface side (arrow B direction side)).

The guide portion 564a is a wall portion that prevents the entire wall surface of the front plate 564 from being contaminated by the game ball flowing down the inside of the first unit 551, and is a wall portion with the second path member 570 or the third path member 580 described later. It is extended along the flow path of the game ball that flows down between the opposite sides. Further, the guide portion 564a is projected at a position where the radius of the game ball is separated from the rolling surface of the game ball flowing down the first unit 551. In other words, the guide portion 564a is projected at a position substantially the same as the center position of the game ball flowing down the first path member 560. Thereby, the portion where the front plate 564 and the game ball come into contact with each other can be limited to the protruding tip portion of the guide portion 564a. Therefore, it is possible to prevent scratches and transfer of dirt adhering to the game ball due to contact with the game ball over the entire area of the front plate 564. As a result, it is possible to make it easier for the player to visually recognize the game ball flowing down the inside of the first path member 560 via the front plate 564.

The first receiving unit 561, the second receiving unit 562, and the third receiving unit 563 are portions that receive the game ball flowing down from the gaming area above the first unit 551 (in the direction of arrow U) into the inside of the first unit 551. , The upper opening is set to a size larger than the diameter of the game ball. Further, the first receiving portion 561, the second receiving portion 562, and the third receiving portion 563 are arranged side by side in the left-right direction (arrow LR direction) at the end portion on the upper side (arrow U direction side) of the front plate 564. The arrow.

The first receiving unit 561 is set to have a larger receiving width (width dimension in the left-right direction (arrow LR direction)) of the game ball than the second receiving unit 562 and the third receiving unit 563. As a result, the game ball flowing into the special winning device 550 is more likely to flow into the first receiving unit 561 than the second receiving unit 562 or the third receiving unit 563.

Further, the first receiving portion 561 is communicated with a flow path formed inside the first unit 551. As a result, the game ball received by the first receiving unit 561 flows down inside the first unit 551. The flow path of the game ball of the first unit 551 will be described later.

The second receiving section 562 and the third receiving section 563 are communicated with a flow path formed inside the second unit 552, which will be described later. As a result, the game ball received by the second receiving unit 562 and the third receiving unit 563 flows down inside the second unit 552. The flow path of the second unit 552 will be described later.

The first wall portion 565 is an inner wall that forms a space for throwing a game ball between the first wall portion 565 and the fourth wall portion 573 formed on the second path member 570, which will be described later. One end of the first wall portion 565 is connected to the lower side of the first receiving portion 561 described above, and the other end side extends in the left-right direction (arrow LR) over the lower side of the second receiving portion 562 and the third receiving portion 563. It is mainly composed of an upper side wall portion 565a extending in the direction) and a curved wall portion 565b formed by being curved in a substantially C shape in the rear view and connected to the upper side wall portion 565a.

Further, the inner surface of the first space 582a2 is formed so as to be inclined downward toward the back surface side, and the inner surface of the second space 582a3 is formed so as to be inclined downward toward the front side. As a result, the game ball thrown from the recessed portion 571g to the second curved portion 582a is rolled to the back side due to the inclination of the first space 582a2, and the second curved portion 582a is curved at the end portion on the back side. The ball is thrown into the second space 582a3, rolled to the front side by the inclination of the second space 582a3, passed through the opening of the sixth opening 571f, and thrown to the front side of the base plate 571.

The back side wall portion 582b is a throwing path that is sent to the first receiving recesses 574a to the fourth receiving recesses 575b and guides the game ball passing through the fifth opening 571e and the sixth opening 571f to the lower side of the special winning device 550. It is the wall part on the back side of. As a result, the game ball thrown into the first receiving recess 574a to the fourth receiving recess 575b can be collected. Therefore, the game ball that is thrown into the first receiving recesses 574a to the fourth receiving recesses 575b, passes through the detection devices SE3 to SE6 described later, and gives the player the game value, flows down the game area again, and the game value. Can be prevented from being given to the player again.

The first drive unit 583 includes a first solenoid 583a having a shaft that is displaced in the front-rear direction by electric power, a first variable plate 583b connected to the shaft of the first solenoid 583a, a first solenoid 583a, and a first variable plate. It mainly includes a first protective member 583c that surrounds the periphery of the 583b.

The first variable plate 583b is a rectangular plate member long in the left-right direction (arrow LR direction), and is displaced in the front-rear direction (arrow FB direction) according to the displacement of the axis of the first solenoid 583a. .. Further, in a state where the first variable plate 583b is projected to the front side, the tip of the first variable plate 583b is inserted into the fifth opening 571e described above, and the first receiving recess 574a and the second receiving recess 574a and the second receiving recess are inserted. It is located above 574b. As a result, when the first variable plate 583b is projected to the front side, the first variable plate 583b can prevent the game ball from flowing into the first receiving recess 574a and the second receiving recess 574b.

The first protective member 583c is formed in a box shape in which the second path member 570 side is open, and a mechanism for connecting the shaft of the first solenoid 583a and the first variable plate 583b is arranged inside the first protective member 583c. Further, the first protective member 583c includes a plurality of through holes 583c1 penetrating in the front-rear direction.

The through hole 583c1 is a portion through which a screw for fastening the first drive unit 583 to the second path member 570 is inserted. The screw through which the through hole 583c1 is inserted is inserted into the through hole 581b1 of the first lining member 581 or the through hole 582b1 of the second lining member 582 and is formed in the second path member 570. It is screwed. Therefore, by arranging the first drive unit 583 on the second path member 570, the first lining member 581 and the second lining member 582 can be arranged on the second path member 570. As a result, the number of screw fastening portions of the first lining member 581 and the second lining member 582 can be reduced, and the manufacturing cost can be reduced.

Further, since the first lining member 581 or the second lining member 582 can be sandwiched between the second path member 570 and the first drive unit 583, the first drive unit 583 wins a special prize. When it is forcibly removed from the device 550, the first lining member 581 or the second lining member 582 and the second path member 570 are incompletely fastened, and the game ball becomes the first lining member 581 or the second. It is easy to make it impossible to pass through the lining member 582. As a result, it is possible to prevent the game from being continued in a fraudulent state.

Like the first drive unit 583, the second drive unit 584 includes a second solenoid 584a having a shaft that is displaced in the front-rear direction by electric power, and a second variable plate 584b connected to the shaft of the second solenoid 584a. It mainly includes a second solenoid 584a and a second protective member 584c that covers the periphery of the second variable plate 584b.

The second variable plate 584b is formed of a plate-like body that is long in the left-right direction (arrow LR direction) and is formed by being bent like a crank in a front view. Further, in a state where the second variable plate 584b is projected to the front side, the tip of the second variable plate 584b is inserted into the sixth opening 571f described above, and the third receiving recess 575a and the fourth receiving are received. It is arranged above the recess 575b. As a result, when the second variable plate 584b is projected to the front side, the second variable plate 584b can prevent the game ball from flowing into the third receiving recess 575a and the fourth receiving recess 575b.

The second protective member 584c is formed in a box shape in which the second path member 570 side is open, and a mechanism for connecting the shaft of the second solenoid 584a and the second variable plate 584b is arranged inside the second protective member 584c. Further, the second protective member 584c includes a back side wall portion 584c1 that covers the back side of the throwing path formed by the second wall portion 566 of the first path member 560. As a result, not only the back side wall portion 584c1 and the second wall portion 566 can form a throwing path, but also the back side wall portion 584c1 and the second wall portion 566 can cover the second path member 570. As a result, it is possible to easily prevent the fraudulent member from being inserted from the side surface of the first unit 551 and fraudulently performed on the detection devices SE3 to SE6 arranged on the second path member 570.

Next, the throwing path of the game ball flowing into the inside of the first unit 551 from the first receiving unit 561 will be described with reference to FIGS. 21 to 24. FIG. 21 is a cross-sectional view of the first unit 551 on the XXI-XXI line of FIG. 18 (b). FIG. 22 is a schematic cross-sectional view of the first unit 551 shown in FIG. FIG. 23 is a cross-sectional view of the first unit 551 on the line XXIII-XXIII of FIG. 18B. 24 (a) is a cross-sectional view of the first unit 551 on the XXIVa-XXIVa line of FIG. 21, and FIG. 24 (b) is a cross-sectional view of the first unit 551 on the XXIVb-XXIVb line of FIG. FIG. 24 (c) is a cross-sectional view of the first unit 551 on the XXIVc-XXIVc line of FIG.

The game ball flowing into the first unit flows down the main paths SK1 to SK6 of the game ball in the order of main path SK1, main path SK2, main path SK3, main path SK4, main path SK5, and main path SK6. Alternatively, the main route SK3 in the middle of flowing down the main routes SK1 to SK6 flows into the sub-path HK1 communicating with the main route SK3 and flows down the sub-path HK1. Alternatively, it is flowed from the main route SK5 on the way down the main route SK1 to the main route SK6 into either the sub-path HK2 or the sub-path HK3 communicating with the main route SK5 and flows down either the sub-path HK2 or the sub-path HK3. To do.

Further, detection devices SE3 to SE6 for detecting the passage of the game ball are arranged in the sub-paths HK1 to HK3, and the detection of the game ball by the detection devices SE3 to SE6 gives the player a predetermined game value. Granted. In the present embodiment, a player is given a game value by a predetermined number of prize balls.

As shown in FIGS. 21 to 24, the main path SK1 is formed by a curved portion 581a of the first lining member 581 and a first rolling portion 576 of the second path member 570 (see FIG. 24A). It is a space and communicates with the first opening 571a and the fourth opening 571d. As described above, the curved portion 581a is formed by being curved in a U-shaped cross section in which the first opening 571a and the fourth opening 571d (second path member 570) side are opened, and the game passes through the main path SK1. The ball can be diverted to the back side. As a result, when the game ball passes through the space where the area in the front view is limited (the inside of the first opening 571a or the fourth opening 571d, the amount of movement of the game ball in the left-right direction can be reduced. It is possible to make it easier for the player to see the game ball passing through the main path SK1. This makes it easier for the player to see the game ball passing through the first unit 551, and enhances the interest of the player. it can.

Further, as will be described later, since the game ball flowing into the main path SK1 is given a predetermined game value to the player, the player can be given a game value by rolling the game ball. It can be made easier for people to see. As a result, it is possible to make it easier for the player to enjoy the hobby. The main path SK1 is communicated with the main path SK2 described later, and a game ball passing through the main path SK1 can flow into the main path SK2.

Further, the curved portion 581a of the main path SK1 is housed and arranged in the recess 86b2 (see FIG. 17) of the center frame 86 described above. As a result, when the game ball is clogged in the main path SK1 (the flow is slow), the defect can be detected by the detection device 86b3 (see FIG. 17) and an error can be notified.

Further, the passage width of the main path SK1 is set to be slightly larger than the diameter of the game ball and smaller than the opening through which the game balls of the detection devices SE3 to SE7 (see FIG. 23) pass. As a result, a game ball (illegal game ball) having a diameter larger than the diameter of the standard game ball (11 mm) is manufactured, and when the ball is illegal (game), the ball is used as the main path. It can be fastened inside the SK1. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the illegal game ball from flowing down to the detection devices SE3 to SE7 arranged on the downstream side of the main path SK1 and being illegally performed. Further, by keeping the illegal game ball on the main path SK1, the detection device 86b3 (see FIG. 17) can detect it and notify the error (illegal). In this case, the fraud means that the fraudulent game ball is fitted into any opening of the detection devices SE3 to SE7, the detection devices SE3 to SE7 continue the detection, and the fraudulent game ball is paid out (game value). Is to get.

The main path SK2 is a space formed between the first wall portion 565 of the first path member 560 and the fourth wall portion 573 of the second path member 570. The game ball flowing into the main path SK2 rolls on the upper surface of the fourth wall portion 573 and flows down. As described above, the fourth wall portion 573 is formed so as to extend in the left-right direction (arrow LR direction) and to be inclined downward as it is separated from the fourth opening 571d.

Therefore, the above-mentioned curved portion 581a (curved path to the back surface side) is formed in the switching portion of the throwing direction of the game ball (the connecting portion between the main path SK1 and the main path SK2), so that the player can take the main path. It is possible to prevent the game ball flowing down the SK1 from being lost. That is, when a path curved to the back side is formed in the middle of a linear throwing path extending in the left-right direction (for example, the main path SK2), the gaming ball rolling at a constant acceleration along the curved path. Since the acceleration is changed (decreased), the line of sight chasing the game ball precedes the game ball, and the player may lose sight of the game ball.

On the other hand, since the curved path to the back side is formed in the portion where the rolling direction of the game ball is switched and the rolling speed of the game ball is originally slowed down, the player's line of sight must precede the game ball. Can be suppressed to prevent the player from losing sight of the game ball.

Further, the curved portion 581a, which is the inner wall of the main path SK1, is arranged on the left side (arrow L direction) of the first unit 551 slightly to the right (arrow R direction) with respect to the left-right central portion of the game board 13. It is formed at the side end). Therefore, a curved path (main path SK1) to the back side is formed on the side where the player who is located in front of the game board 13 can easily see the first unit 551, so that the player can easily see the first unit 551 from the main path SK1 to the main path. It is possible to easily suppress losing sight of the game ball passing through SK2.

Further, the main path SK2 is communicated with the curved path WK1 and is communicated with the main path SK3 described later via the curved path WK1. As a result, the game ball passing through the main path SK2 flows into the main path SK3 via the curved path WK1. A detailed description of the curved path WK1 will be described later.

The main path SK3 is a space formed between the fourth wall portion 573 and the fifth wall portion 574 of the second path member 570. The game ball flowing into the main path SK3 rolls on the upper surface of the fifth wall portion 574 and flows down. Further, in the main path SK3, the first variable plate 583b of the first drive unit 583 described above is projected onto the main path SK3 at the time of overhanging. In a state where the first variable plate 583b protrudes on the main path SK3, a game ball that rolls on the upper part of the fifth wall portion 574 rolls on the upper surface of the first variable plate 583b and is sent to the main path SK4. To.

On the other hand, in a state where the first variable plate 583b is retracted from the main path SK3, the sub-path HK1 of the space formed inside the first receiving recess 574a and the second receiving recess 574b formed in the fifth wall portion 574. Game balls are flowed in. The secondary path HK1 is sent to the recovery path formed by the back side wall portion 582b via the fifth opening 571e.

As described above, the first unit 551 includes a first variable plate 583b that overhangs the throwing path of the game ball or retracts from the throwing path, and due to the displacement of the first variable plate 583b, the main unit 551 is main. Since the game ball flowing down the path SK3 can be changed to the case where it is guided to the sub-path HK1 and the case where it is guided to the main path SK4, it changes in the flow direction of the game ball flowing down the first unit 551. Can be given.

In this case, since the game ball flowing into the sub-path HK1 is given a predetermined game value to the player, the player can be made to pay attention to whether or not the game ball has flowed into the sub-path HK1. Further, since the first variable plate 583b is arranged in the middle of the throwing path formed in the first unit 551 and is displaced in the viewing direction (arrow FB direction) of the player, the first variable plate from the player The displacement of 583b can be made difficult to see. As a result, it is possible to pay attention to the flowing game ball of the first unit 551, and it is possible to easily give the player a hobby due to the flowing game ball.

Further, the sub-path HK1 has a main path SK3 that throws the game ball from the right side (arrow R direction side) to the left side (arrow L direction side) in front view, and a game ball located below the main path SK3 from the left side. It is formed on the fifth wall portion 574 that forms between the main path SK6 that throws the ball to the right side. Therefore, since the sub-path HK1 is formed by utilizing the space between the game balls being thrown to the left and right, it is possible to prevent the outer shape of the first unit 551 from becoming large in the vertical direction. As a result, by reducing the outer shape of the first unit 551, the range in which the player can follow the game ball with his / her eyes can be narrowed, and the player can easily see the game ball flowing down the first unit 551. it can.

The main path SK4 is a space formed by the recessed portion 571 g and the protrusion 568 of the first path member 560. The game ball flowing into the main path SK4 abuts on the protrusion 568 and is thrown to the inside (rear side) of the recessed portion 571 g, and then rolls around the protrusion 568 along the inner surface of the recessed portion to be recessed. The ball is thrown to the outside (front side) of the installation part. That is, the game ball is rolled so as to bypass the protrusion 568. Further, the main path SK4 is communicated with the main path SK5, and a game ball passing through the main path SK4 can flow into the main path SK5.

The main path SK5 is a space formed by the first space 582a2 and the second space 582a3 of the second lining member 582 of the third path member 580 described above. The game ball flowing into the main path SK5 rolls inside the first space 582a2 to the back side as described above, and then rolls inside the second space 582a3 to the front side. Further, in the main path SK5, the second variable plate 584b of the second drive unit 584 described above projects onto the main path SK5 at the time of overhanging. In a state where the second variable plate 584b protrudes on the main path SK5, a game ball rolling inside the second curved portion 582a is sent to the main path SK6.

On the other hand, when the second variable plate 584b is retracted from the main path SK5, the sub-path HK2 of the space formed inside the third receiving recess 575a and the fourth receiving recess 575b formed in the sixth wall portion 575 The game ball is evacuated. The secondary path HK2 is sent to the recovery path formed by the back side wall portion 582b via the sixth opening 571f.

Further, the second curved portion 582a constituting the main path SK5 is formed to be curved toward the back side as described above, and the game ball passing through the main path SK5 can be diverted to the back side. As a result, even when the area in front view is set in a predetermined limited space, the distance by which the game ball can roll can be increased.

Further, the second variable plate 584b is configured so that a part of the upstream side of the main path SK5 and a part of the downstream side of the main path SK5 are displaced or retracted, and the main path SK5 is displaced. Since a curved path to the back side is formed between the upstream side of the main path SK5 and the downstream side of the main path SK5, the time during which the game ball passing through the main path SK5 may give the player a game value. Can be lengthened. As a result, it is possible to prolong the time for giving the player an interest.

The sub-route HK3 is communicated with the communication portion between the main route SK4 and the main route SK5. The sub-path HK3 is a space formed between the second wall portion 566 of the first path member 560 and the back side wall portion 584c1 of the third path member 580.

The sub-path HK3 is in a direction different from the flow-down direction of the game ball when the game ball flows from the main path SK4 to the main path SK5 (front view right direction (arrow R direction) (front view left direction (arrow L direction)). The sub-path HK3 is opened. The lower inner edge of the inflow port of the sub-path HK3 is set below the second variable plate 584b (in the direction of arrow D).

Here, when the game ball normally flows down from the main path SK4 to the main path SK5 (in a state where no external force other than gravity acts), the game ball flows from the main path SK4 into the main path SK5 or the sub-path HK2. To. On the other hand, at the timing when the game ball flows from the main path SK4 into the sub-path HK2, the second variable plate 584b is projected and the tip surface of the second variable plate 584b comes into contact with the game ball, and an external force other than gravity is applied to the game ball. When is acting, the game ball is pushed out to the inflow port of the sub-path HK3 by the second variable plate 584b and flows into the sub-path HK3.

Therefore, the first unit 551 includes a second variable plate 584b that projects on the throwing path of the game ball or retracts from the throwing path, and due to the displacement of the second variable plate 584b, the main path SK4 of the first unit 551. Alternatively, since the game ball flowing down the main path SK5 is guided to either the main path SK5, the sub-path HK2, or the sub-path HK3, the flow direction of the game ball flowing down the first unit 551 can be changed.

In this case, since the game ball flowing into the sub-path HK2 or the sub-path HK3 gives the player a predetermined game value, the player is closely watched whether the game ball has flowed into the sub-path HK2 or the sub-path HK3. Can be made to. Further, since the second variable plate 584b is arranged in the middle of the throwing path formed in the first unit 551, it is possible to make it difficult for the player to visually recognize the displacement of the plate member 584b2. As a result, it is possible to make the first unit 551 pay attention to the flowing game ball, and it is possible to easily give the player a hobby due to the flowing game ball.

Further, as described above, on the upstream side of the main path SK4, the path through which the game ball flows is switched by the first variable plate 583b. Therefore, a game ball that does not flow into the sub-path HK1 on the upstream side and is not given a game value to the player can flow further downstream and flow into the sub-path HK2 or HK3. Therefore, by passing the game ball, which may have been given the game value to the player once, through the switching portion of the flow path, the player is made to have the desire for the game ball to flow into the sub-paths HK2 and HK3 again. be able to.

Further, a main path SK4 curved on the back surface side is arranged between the main path SK3 and the main path SK5 on which the flow path of the game ball is switched. Therefore, the game ball can be rolled within a predetermined range in the front view, and the position of the game ball can be easily recognized by the player. That is, after the main path SK3 has flowed down, the player is made to recognize the position of the game ball through the main path SK4, so that the player pays attention to the game ball that rolls on the main path SK5 connected to the downstream of the main path SK4. It can be made easy. As a result, it is possible to make it easier for the player to visually recognize the game ball in which the game ball flows into the sub-paths HK2 and HK3, and it is possible to improve the interest of the player.

Further, at both left and right ends on the front side of the second variable 584b, inclined surfaces 584b1 (see FIG. 24C) that incline toward the back side toward the ends in the left-right direction are formed. As a result, when the second variable plate 584b is projected at the timing when the game ball flows into the sub-path HK2 from the main path SK4 and the tip surface of the second variable plate 584b comes into contact with the game ball, the inclined surface 584b1 This allows the game ball to be pushed out to the inflow port side of the secondary path HK3. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the game ball from being pinched between the second variable plate 584b and the first path member 560 by the inclined surface 584b1 and the sub-path HK2, and the flow direction is different due to the difference in the timing at which the game ball is flowed down. It is possible to form a plurality of routes (three routes in this embodiment) to which the above can be switched.

The main path SK6 is a space surrounded by the third wall portion 567 of the first path member 560. The game ball flowing down the main path SK6 is sent to the game area of the game board 13. Therefore, if the game ball that has flowed into the first receiving portion 561 does not flow into the first receiving recesses 574a to the fourth receiving recesses 575b, the game value is not given to the player, and the game board 13 from the main path SK6. The ball is thrown into the game area and collected from the out port 71 formed on the game board 13.

<Guide means to displace the game ball in the front-back direction>
Next, the flow of the game ball from the main path SK2 to the main path SK3 will be described with reference to FIGS. 25 to 28. 25 (a) and 26 (a) are partially enlarged views of the first unit 551 in the range XXVa of FIG. 21, and FIGS. 25 (b) and 26 (b) are XXVb of FIG. 25 (a). It is sectional drawing of the 1st unit 551 in -XXVb line. 27 (a) is a schematic cross-sectional view of the first unit 551 in the line XXVIIa-XXVIIa of FIG. 25 (a), and FIG. 27 (b) is a schematic cross-sectional view of the first unit in the line XXVIIb-XXVIIb of FIG. 25 (a). It is a schematic cross-sectional view of 551, and FIG. 27 (c) is a schematic cross-sectional view of the first unit 551 in the line XXVIIc-XXVIIc of FIG. 25 (a). 28 (a) is a schematic cross-sectional view of the first unit 551 in the line XXVb-XXVb of FIG. 25 (a), and FIG. 28 (b) is the first unit in the line XXVIIIb-XXVIIIb of FIG. 25 (a). It is a schematic cross-sectional view of 551. Note that FIG. 26 shows a game ball flowing down the curved path WK1.

As shown in FIGS. 25 to 28, the main path SK2, the main path SK3, and the curved path WK1 are recessed in the base plate 571 of the second path member 570 in an arc shape in a cross section toward the back surface side. 571h, the second recess 571I and the third recess 571j, the first step portion 571k projecting stepwise from the inner wall on the main path SK2 to the front side, and the second step projecting stepwise from the inner wall on the main path SK3. A section 571 m and the like are provided.

The front plate 564 of the first path member 560 has a first convex portion 564b, a second convex portion 564c, and a third convex portion 564d at positions facing the first concave portion 571h, the second concave portion 571I, and the third concave portion 571j, respectively. Be thrust.

The facing distance dimension L11 between the second concave portion 571I and the second convex portion 564c (see FIG. 28A) is set to a value larger than the diameter of the game ball, and the facing distance between the front plate 564 and the base plate 571 is set. It is set to a value smaller than the distance dimension L12 (see FIG. 28 (a)) of. As a result, the game ball thrown between the first concave portion 571h, the second concave portion 571I, and the third concave portion 571j and the first convex portion 564b, the second convex portion 564c, and the third convex portion 564d is placed in the first concave portion. The rolling (flowing) speed of the game ball may be slowed down by bringing the 571h, the second concave portion 571I and the third concave portion 571j into contact with the first convex portion 564b, the second convex portion 564c and the third convex portion 564d. it can.

Further, the facing distance between the first concave portion 571h and the first convex portion 564b and the facing distance dimension between the third concave portion 571j and the third convex portion 564d are the facing distance dimensions between the second concave portion 571I and the second convex portion 564c. The distance is set to be substantially the same as L11.

Further, the projecting tip surfaces of the first convex portion 564b, the second convex portion 564c, and the third convex portion 564d face each other with the front surface of the base plate 571 excluding the first concave portion 571h, the second concave portion 571I, and the third concave portion 571j. The distance dimension L13 between them (see FIG. 28A) is set to be smaller than the diameter of the game ball. As a result, the game ball thrown between the first concave portion 571h, the second concave portion 571I and the third concave portion 571j and the first convex portion 564b, the second convex portion 564c and the third convex portion 564d is first convex. It can collide with the portion 564b, the second convex portion 564c, and the third convex portion 564d. As a result, the rolling (flowing) speed of the game ball can be slowed down.

Further, in this case, the game ball in contact with the first convex portion 564b, the second convex portion 564c and the third convex portion 564d flows down inside the first concave portion 571h, the second concave portion 571I and the third concave portion 571j. .. Therefore, the flowing game ball can be guided in the recessing direction of the first recess 571h, the second recess 571I, and the third recess 571j.

The step portion 571k projects from the inner wall on the back side of the main path SK2 to the front side. Further, the step portion 571k is formed on the downstream side in the path of the main path SK2. The step portion 571k is set at a position where the upstream end of the main path SK2 protrudes from the front of the base plate 571 to the front side, and the downstream end is at the same position as the back surface of the curved path WK1. Set. As a result, the game ball flowing down the main path SK2 can be brought into contact with the step portion 571k and moved to the front side.

Further, the step portion 571k is formed as an inclined surface whose upstream end portion projects from the upstream side to the downstream side toward the front side. As a result, the game ball that flows down the main path SK2 and comes into contact with the upstream end of the step portion 571k can be guided to the front side and flowed down to the downstream side.

Further, the step portion 571k has an upstream end portion formed on the upstream side of the main path SK2 with respect to the first convex portion 564b formed on the front plate 564. As a result, the game ball that comes into contact with the step portion 571k and is guided to the front side can be easily brought into contact with the first convex portion 564b.

The first recess 571h is recessed in the base plate 571 constituting the main path SK2, and is formed in an elliptical shape long in the horizontal direction (arrow LR direction) in the front view. Further, the first recess 571h is formed in the base plate 571 at a position protruding to the front side by the step portion 571k. The depth of the recess toward the back surface at the center of the first recess 571h in the vertical direction is set to be substantially the same as the height dimension L22 (see FIG. 27B) of the step portion 571k toward the front surface. As a result, the game ball to which the main path SK2 is thrown without violence flows into the inside of the first recess 571h without being displaced in the recessing direction of the first recess 571h (the back side (arrow B direction side)). be able to.

On the other hand, the game ball to which the main path SK2 is thrown in a violent state is brought into contact with the upstream end of the step portion 571k and guided to the front side of the main path SK2, and the first convex of the front plate 564. It is brought into contact with the portion 564b. As a result, the game ball can be thrown inside the first recess 571h while suppressing the rampage of the game ball.

Further, the first recess 571h has a height dimension Y8 (the height dimension Y8 from the rolling surface of the game ball on the upstream side of the main path SK2 (the surface of the fourth wall portion 573 on the arrow U direction side) to the recessed bottom surface in the orthogonal direction. (See FIG. 25A) is set to the radius of the game ball, and is concave in the direction orthogonal to the rolling surface of the game ball (the surface of the fourth wall portion 573 on the arrow U direction side) on the downstream side of the main path SK2. The height dimension Y9 to the bottom surface (see FIG. 25A) is set higher than the radius of the game ball. As a result, when the game ball flowing down the main path SK2 is thrown along the first recess 571h, the resistance in the direction of lifting up in the direction of gravity (arrow U direction side) is applied to the game ball to cause the game ball to roll. The moving speed can be reduced. As a result, the rolling speed of the game ball flowing into the curved path WK1 can be sufficiently reduced, and the game ball can be easily flowed down smoothly.

The radius X11 (see FIG. 27B) in the cross section of the first recess 571h is set to a value larger than the radius of the game ball, and when the game ball is thrown inside the first recess 571h, the radius X11 is set to a value larger than the radius of the game ball. The game ball can be brought into contact with the inner wall. As a result, it is possible to prevent the game ball from coming into contact with the first recess 571h at two locations, and to prevent the resistance to rolling of the game ball from increasing due to the increase in the contact portion. As a result, it is possible to prevent the game ball from stopping on the main path SK2.

The first convex portion 564b formed at a position facing the first concave portion 571h is directed from the upstream end of the first concave portion 571h to the throwing direction of the game ball on the main path SK2 (arrow R direction in FIG. 27 (b)). It is formed at a position separated from the ball, and the value of the separation is set to a dimension smaller than the radius of the game ball. As a result, the game ball flowing down the main path SK2 can be brought into contact with the first convex portion 564b and easily thrown inside the first concave portion 571h.

The second recess 571I is recessed in the base plate 571 of the curved path WK1 and is formed in an elliptical shape whose outer shape in front view is long in the direction of gravity (arrow UD direction). Further, the center position of the second recess 571I in the vertical direction (arrow UD direction) in the front view is set to the intermediate position of the curved path WK1. Further, the second recess 571I is formed at the center position in the left-right direction (arrow LR direction) in the front view in the direction orthogonal to the throwing direction of the curved path WK1.

The main path SK1, the curved path WK1, and the main path SK2 are all set to have the same width dimension L18 (see FIG. 25 (a)) orthogonal to the throwing direction of the game ball in the front view. The width dimension L18 is set to be approximately 1.1 times the diameter of the game ball.

Further, in the first recess 571h, the second recess 571I and the third recess 571j, the maximum width dimension in the lateral direction in the front view is set to approximately 1/2 of the width dimension L18 described above. As a result, the center of the game ball passing through each path (main path SK1, curved path WK1 and main path SK2) can be passed through the front side of the first recess 571h, the second recess 571I and the third recess 571j. , The game ball can be easily thrown inside the first recess 571h, the second recess 571I, and the third recess 571j.

The step portion 571m projects from the inner wall on the back side of the main path SK3 to the front side. Further, the step portion 571m is formed on the upstream side in the path of the main path SK3. The step portion 571m is set at a position where the downstream end of the main path SK3 protrudes toward the front side of the base plate 571, and the upstream end is set at the same position as the back surface of the curved path WK1. To. As a result, it is possible to prevent the game ball flowing down the main path SK3 from flowing backward (rebounding) beyond the step portion 571m to the upstream side after being sent to the downstream side of the step portion 571m.

The third recess 571j is formed in the base plate 571 forming the inner wall of the main path SK3, and is formed in an elliptical shape long in the horizontal direction (arrow LR direction) in the front view. Further, the third recess 571j is formed in the base plate 571 at a position protruding to the front side by the step portion 571m. The depth of the recess toward the back surface at the center of the third recess 571j in the vertical direction is set to be substantially the same as the height dimension L23 (see FIG. 27C) of the step portion 571m toward the front surface. As a result, the game ball to which the main path KR3 is sent can be easily discharged from the inside to the outside of the third recess 571j.

Further, the end of the third recess 571j on the downstream side of the main path SK3 is the end on the upstream side of the main path SK3 of the first variable plate 583b that switches the path flowing down to the sub-path HK1 described later (in the direction of the arrow R). It is arranged above the direction of gravity (in the direction of arrow U) of the end). As a result, when the stop position of the first variable plate 583b is displaced upward in the direction of gravity due to the displacement (when the first variable plate 583b is arranged above the downstream end portion of the curved wall portion 565b), By throwing the game ball passing through the main path SK3 along the inner surface of the third recess 571j, the ball can be thrown without being caught by the first variable plate 583b. As a result, it is not necessary to dispose the first variable plate 583b downward in the portion where the first wall portion 565 and the first variable plate 583b are adjacent to each other, and it is possible to suppress an increase in the vertical dimension of the first unit 551. ..

Further, in this case, the third recess 571j is formed in the horizontal direction (arrow LR direction) in the longitudinal direction in the front view, and is separated upward from the game ball flowing down the main path SK3. , The resistance in the upward direction can be applied to the game ball thrown from the first wall portion 565 to the first variable plate 583b. As a result, it is possible to prevent the game ball thrown from the first wall portion 565 to the first variable plate 583b from being caught by the first variable plate 583b.

Further, the first unit 551 transfers a main path SK2 for throwing a game ball to one side (arrow R direction side) in the horizontal direction with respect to the game board 13 in the front view, and a game ball thrown from the main path SK2. The curved path WK1 includes a main path SK3 that throws a ball to the other side in the horizontal direction opposite to the guiding direction of the main path SK2, and a curved path WK1 that connects one side of the main path SK2 and the main path SK3. Since the guide means (second convex portion 564c and second concave portion 571I) for sending the game ball to at least one of the front side and the back side of the game board is provided on the inner walls on the front side and the back side of the game board. The game ball passing through the curved path WK1 can be moved to the front side or the back side (the front-rear direction of the game board 13 in the front view).

Therefore, the flow of the game ball accelerated by rolling on the main path SK2 (first path) rather than when the throwing path of the game ball passing through the curved path WK1 is formed on the same plane in the front-rear direction in the front view. You can slow it down. Therefore, the game ball that collides with the inner wall of the curved path WK1 returns to the main path SK2 by the amount that the flow speed of the game ball can be slowed down, or the throwing direction of the main path SK2 inside the curved path WK1 (horizontal direction in front view (horizontal direction in front view). It is possible to suppress the shaking (shaking) in the direction of the arrow LR)). As a result, the line of sight of the player can follow the game ball passing through the curved path WK1 in a certain direction. As a result, it is possible to make it easier for the player to visually recognize the game ball sent to the curved path WK1.

Further, since it is possible to suppress the game ball from swinging (shaking) in the horizontal direction (horizontal direction in the front view) with respect to the game board 13 in the front view, the curved path WK1 connecting the main path SK2 and the main path SK3 is correspondingly. It is not necessary to lengthen the path to prevent the game ball from swinging, and the path of the curved path WK1 can be shortened. As a result, the first unit 551 can be housed in a predetermined area with respect to the game board 13, and a space for arranging the first unit 551 with respect to the game board 13 can be secured.

Further, the recess width of the first recess 571h is increased toward the upstream side of the main path SK2 in a direction orthogonal to the flow direction of the main path SK2 (arrow UD direction). As a result, the game ball flowing down the main path SK2 can be easily received in the first recess 571h. Further, since the recess width of the first recess 571h is set to be smaller toward the downstream side of the main path SK2, it is easy for the game ball received by the first recess 571h to come out from the same position. That is, the first recess 571h can easily accept the game ball on the upstream side of the main path SK2, and can easily let the game ball escape from the same position on the downstream side of the main path SK2. As a result, the game ball can be easily thrown into the second recess 571I of the curved path WK1 which is communicated downstream of the main path SK2.

In this case, the recessed end of the first recess 571h in the flow direction (arrow R direction) of the main path SK2 is the rolling surface (fourth) of the main path SK2 in the rolling direction of the game ball to which the main path SK2 is sent. It is formed at a position exceeding the upper surface of the wall portion 573). Therefore, the game ball that escapes from the first recess 571h can be less affected by the rolling surface of the main path SK2. As a result, the game ball that has escaped from the first recess 571h can be easily thrown into the second recess 571I of the curved path WK1.

Further, the main path SK2 is inside the path from the fourth opening 571d side toward the curved wall portion 565b side (that is, from the front left side (arrow L direction side) to the front view right side (arrow R direction side)). The space is formed so as to be inclined toward the front plate 564 side (front side (arrow F direction side)). Further, the main path SK2 is formed so that its rolling surface (the surface of the fourth wall portion 573 on the upper side in the gravity direction) is inclined downward toward the front side. As a result, the game ball flowing down the main path SK2 can be easily rolled on the front plate 564 side, and the game ball can be easily brought into contact with the first convex portion 564b formed on the front plate 564. As a result, it is possible to easily slow down the rolling speed of the game ball at the first convex portion 564b, and it is possible to prevent the game ball flowing down the main path SK2 from flowing back through the main path SK2 due to the reaction force that collides with the curved wall portion 565b. .. As a result, the game ball can be stably flowed down at the position where the throwing direction of the game ball is changed.

The upper end portion (end portion in the arrow U direction) of the second recess 571I is drawn linearly along the rolling locus of the center of the game ball that rolls on the main path SK2 (fourth wall portion 573). It is formed at a position in contact with the virtual line IL3 (see FIG. 25 (a)). As a result, the game ball that is thrown from the main path SK2 at a relatively high speed and flows into the curved path WK1 can be easily received by the second recess 571I.

A second concave portion 571I and a second convex portion 564c are formed at a portion where the throwing direction of the game ball is changed (curved path WK1). As described above, the protruding tip surfaces of the first convex portion 564b, the second convex portion 564c, and the third convex portion 564d, and the front surface of the base plate 571 excluding the first concave portion 571h, the second concave portion 571I, and the third concave portion 571j. Since the distance dimension L13 (see FIG. 28 (a)) between the two and the opposite is set smaller than the diameter of the game ball, the game ball flowing down between the second concave portion 571I and the second convex portion 564c is second. It can be brought into contact with the convex portion 564c and pushed into the inside of the second concave portion 571I. Therefore, the game ball flowing into the main path SK3 (exiting between the second concave portion 571I and the second convex portion 564c) can flow down along the arc on the inner surface of the second concave portion 571I.

Here, the game ball thrown from the main path SK2 to the curved path WK1 tends to flow down a position closer to the rolling direction of the game ball on the main path SK2. Therefore, the game ball that flows down inside the second recess 571I comes into contact with the inner surface of the region on the right side of the front view (the side in the direction of arrow R) of the second recess 571I and flows down. Therefore, the throwing direction of the game ball flowing into the main path SK3 can be easily directed to the flow direction of the main path SK3 (from the curved wall portion 565b side to the recessed portion 571g (see FIG. 21) side). As a result, it is possible to prevent the game ball from colliding with the curved wall portion 565b and temporarily stopping the flow at the position where the throwing direction of the game ball is changed (see FIG. 28).

Further, since the throwing direction of the game ball thrown from the curved path WK1 to the main path SK3 can be directed toward the flow direction of the main path SK3, the force by which the game ball collides with the curved wall portion 565b can be reduced. Can be done. As a result, damage to the curved wall portion 565b due to the game ball repeatedly colliding with the curved wall portion 565b can be suppressed.

Further, the first convex portion 564b is formed on the first path member 560 arranged on the front side, and the first concave portion 571h is formed on the second path member 570 arranged on the back side.

Here, when a recess (a recess corresponding to the first recess 571h of the second path member 570) that is recessed toward the front side is formed in the first path member 560, the recess is recessed and the first path member 560 is recessed. It is necessary to increase the plate thickness of. Therefore, as the plate thickness of the first path member 560 increases, the transparency of the first path member 560 deteriorates, and it becomes difficult for the player to visually recognize the game ball passing through the first unit 551.

Further, when a concave portion is formed on the back surface of the bulging portion that partially bulges in front of the first path member 560, the bulging portion bulges toward the front side of the first path member 560, and the game board 13 It is necessary to increase the gap between the glass unit 16 (see FIG. 1) arranged on the front side of the glass unit 16. Therefore, since the first path member 560 is separated from the glass unit 16, it becomes difficult for the player to visually recognize the game ball passing through the inside of the first path member 560.

On the other hand, the first convex portion 564b is formed on the first path member 560 arranged on the front side, and the first concave portion 571h is formed on the second path member 570 arranged on the back side. , The thickness of the first path member 560 arranged on the front side can be reduced. Further, since the portion that partially protrudes from the front side of the first path member 560 is not formed, the first path member 560 can be arranged close to the glass unit 16. As a result, it is possible to make it easier for the player to visually recognize the game ball passing through the inside of the first path member 560.

The second convex portion 564c is located below the main path SK2 (upper surface of the fourth wall portion 573) in the direction of gravity (arrow D direction), and descends in substantially the same direction as the rolling direction of the main path SK2 in the front view. It is formed at an angle. As a result, the game ball flowing down between the second convex portion 564c and the second concave portion 571I facing each other is guided to the region on the right side of the front view (arrow R direction side) of the second concave portion 571I by the inclination of the second convex portion 564c. can do. As described above, since the recessed surface of the second recess 571I is formed to be curved, a game ball that abuts on the inside of the region on the right side (arrow R direction side) of the second recess 571I and flows down is moved. The ball can be thrown in the flow direction of the main path SK3 (from the curved wall portion 565b side to the recessed portion 571g (see FIG. 21) side). As a result, the inflow of the game ball from the curved path WK1 to the main path SK3 can be made smooth.

Further, the second recess 571I is a virtual line IL4 (a virtual line IL4) in which the end portion on the lower side (arrow D direction side) in front view is drawn linearly along the rolling locus of the center of the game ball that rolls on the main path SK3. It is formed at a position in contact with FIG. 25 (a)). Thereby, the height of the center of the game ball discharged from the downstream end of the second recess 571I can be set on the virtual line IL4. As described above, in the present embodiment, the game ball discharged from the second recess 571I is thrown toward the flow direction of the main path SK3 (from the curved wall portion 565b side to the recessed portion 571g (see FIG. 21) side). Therefore, the game ball discharged from the second recess 571I comes into contact with the inner surface of the main path SK3 or the curved path WK1, and the game ball sent to the main path SK3 collides with the inner wall of the curved path WK1. Stagnation inside those pathways can be suppressed.

Therefore, the flow direction of the game ball flowing into the main path SK3 can be directed to the throwing direction of the main path SK3 at a position close to the rolling surface of the main path SK3. As a result, it is possible to prevent the game ball flowing into the main path SK3 from the curved path WK1 from being thrown in a direction orthogonal to the throwing direction of the game ball on the curved path WK1. As a result, it is possible to prevent the game ball sent to the main path SK3 from colliding with the inner wall of the curved path WK1 and stagnation.

The second erection wall 623 is a wall that guides the game ball that has flowed into the fifth path member 620 from the second inflow inlet, and extends in the vertical direction of the plate member 621. A description of the throwing path formed by the first erection wall 624 and the second erection wall 623 will be described later.

The sixth path member 630 is a second central opening 634 opened in a base plate 631 formed of a plate having a substantially rectangular front view and a base plate 631 at a position facing the central opening 622 of the fifth path member 620. And an insertion hole 632 and a fastening hole 633 formed through the periphery of the second central opening 634 of the base plate 631.

The second central opening 634 is formed to have substantially the same size as the central opening 622 of the fifth path member 620 in the front view, and when the fifth path member 620 and the sixth path member 630 are combined, the second central opening 634 is formed to have substantially the same size as the central opening 622. It communicates with the central opening 622 of the fifth path member 620. As a result, when the second unit 552 is arranged on the back surface side of the first unit 551, the first solenoid 583a of the first unit 551 can be arranged inside the second central opening 634.

Next, with reference to FIG. 32, the throwing path formed by the fifth path member 620 will be described. FIG. 32 is a cross-sectional view of the second unit 552 on the line XXXII-XXXII of FIG.

As shown in FIG. 32, the second unit 552 is formed by being surrounded by the second erection wall 623 and the sub-path HK4 formed by being surrounded by the first erection wall 624 of the fifth path member 620. It is provided with an auxiliary route HK5.

The sub-path HK4 extends downward from the first inflow port 625, and then is bent toward the sub-path HK5, which will be described later, and communicates with the sub-path HK5. Further, in the sub-path HK4, a detection device SE7 for detecting the passage of a game ball is provided in a downwardly extending portion. Thereby, it is possible to detect that the game ball has passed through the secondary path HK4. Further, when the detection device SE7 detects the passage of the game ball, a predetermined game value is given to the player (in the present embodiment, the prize ball of the game ball).

In the present embodiment, the number of game balls (for example, 3) awarded to the player as the game balls pass through the detection device SE7 is the detection device SE3 arranged in the first unit 551. The number is less than the number of game balls (for example, 15) that are awarded to the player as the game balls pass through ~ SE6. That is, the game value given to the player as the game passes through the detection device SE7 is given to the player as the game ball passes through the detection devices SE3 to SE6 arranged in the first unit 551. It is set higher than the game value to be played. This makes it easier to draw attention to the game ball passing through the first unit 551. As a result, it is possible to make it easier for the player to enjoy the hobby.

The sub-path HK5 extends downward from the second inflow port 626 and communicates with the recovery path of the pachinko machine 10 below the second unit 552. Therefore, the game ball flowing down the sub-path HK5 is collected without giving the player a game value. Further, the game ball that flows down the sub-path HK4 and is detected by the detection device SE7 is sent to the sub-path HK5 and collected by the pachinko machine 10.

Further, the special winning device 550 includes a first unit 551 formed of a material capable of transmitting light and arranged on the front side of the game area, and a second unit arranged on the back side of the first unit 551. The first unit 551 includes a first receiving section 561 capable of entering a game ball, and the second unit 552 includes a second receiving section 562 and a third receiving section capable of entering a game ball. A game ball having 563 and entering the first receiving unit 561 has a higher game value to the player than a game ball entering the second receiving unit 562 and the third receiving unit 563 (payout of the game ball). Is given.

Therefore, the handling of the throwing path of the game ball of the first unit 551 and the second unit 552 is complicatedly formed (for example, the throwing path of the first unit 551 and the throwing path of the second unit 552 are in the front-rear direction in the front view. When the game balls flow down to the first unit 551 and the second unit 552 at the same timing, the player can easily watch the game balls flowing down the first unit 551 as compared with the case of crossing the first unit 551. Therefore, it is possible to make it easier for the player to visually recognize the game ball flowing down the first unit 551 provided with the first receiving unit 561 having a high game value. As a result, the player can visually recognize the game ball passing through the route that gives the player a high game value, so that the player's interest can be easily improved.

In addition, the inlet of the throwing path for throwing the game ball to the first unit 551 (first receiving section 561) and the inlet of the throwing path for throwing the game ball to the second unit 552 (second receiving section 562 and third). Since the receiving portions 563) are formed at adjacent positions, the receiving portion 563) flows into the first unit 551 to which a high game value is given, or flows into the second unit 552 to which a low game value is given, or the game ball flows into the second unit 552. It is possible to make it difficult for the player to judge until it flows in. As a result, it is possible to easily give the player an interest until just before the game ball flows into the special winning device 550.

Next, the arrangement state of the special winning device 550 on the center frame 86 will be described with reference to FIGS. 33 to 37. 33 (a) is a front view of the center frame 86, and FIG. 33 (b) is a side view of the center frame 86. FIG. 34 (a) is a perspective front view of the center frame 86, and FIG. 34 (b) is a perspective rear view of the center frame 86. FIG. 35 is an exploded perspective rear view of the center frame 86. FIG. 36 is a cross-sectional view of the center frame 86 in the XXXVI-XXXVI line of FIG. FIG. 37 (a) is a schematic cross-sectional view of the game board 13, and FIG. 37 (b) is a schematic disassembled cross-sectional view of the game board 13. Note that FIGS. 37 (a) and 37 (b) correspond to the cross section of FIG. 36.

<Fixing means for urging the first member toward the base member>
As shown in FIGS. 33 to 37, the special winning device 550 is detached from the first unit 551 which is removable on the front side of the center frame 86 and on the back side of the center frame 86 with the center frame 86 in between. It consists of a possible second unit.

The first unit 551 is the front side of the projecting portion 86b in a state where the first solenoid 583a and the second solenoid 584a arranged on the back side of the first unit 551 are inserted into the opening 86b1 of the center frame 86. Is arranged in. Further, the first unit 551 includes a columnar body 551a projecting in a columnar shape on the second unit 552 side.

The first unit 551 is fixed to the center frame 86 by screws inserted into the insertion portion 617 and the second insertion portion 614 formed in the fourth path member 610 of the second unit 552. More specifically, the first unit 551 is disposed between the first unit 551 and the fourth path member 610 disposed on the back surface side (arrow B direction side) via the projecting portion 86b of the center frame 86. Further, the first unit 551 is fastened to the second unit 552 by screwing a screw inserted from the insertion portion 617 of the fourth path member 610 into the columnar body 551a.

Further, in a state where the first unit 551 and the second unit 552 are fastened, the screw inserted into the second insertion portion 614 formed in the second unit 552 is recessed in the projecting portion 86b. By screwing it into (see FIG. 35), the projecting portion 86b and the fourth path member 610 can be fastened. As described above, since the fourth path member 610 and the first unit 551 are fastened and fixed, the first unit 551 is fastened to the projecting portion 86b by fastening the fourth path member 610 to the projecting portion 86b. It is concluded against.

Further, as shown in FIG. 37, the opening dimension Y1 (see FIG. 37 (b)) of the first opening 60a of the base plate 60 in the vertical direction is the vertical dimension of the first unit 551 (second path member 570). It is set slightly smaller than Y2 (see FIG. 37 (b)). Further, the distance dimension Y4 (see FIG. 37B) from the contact surface of the first unit 551 with the front surface of the base plate 60 to the contact surface of the second unit 552 with the base plate 60 is the first unit. When the 551 and the second unit 552 are fastened, the thickness dimension Y3 of the base plate 60 (see FIG. 37B) is set to be slightly smaller.

As a result, when the first unit 551, the second unit, and 552 are fastened, the first unit 551 can be urged to the base plate 60 side (rear side). Therefore, it is possible to prevent the formation of a gap between the front surface of the base plate 60 and the first unit 551. Therefore, it is not necessary to fasten the first unit 551 with screws from the front side of the base plate 60, and the screw fastening allowance is not required on the front side of the first unit 551. The area on the front side can be used as a throwing space for a game ball. As a result, it is possible to secure a throwing space for the game ball formed in the first unit 551.

Further, since the fastening portion (columnar body 551a) between the first unit 551 and the second unit 552 is formed so as to project on the back surface side of the first unit 551, the fastening portion is formed on the front side of the base plate 60. It is possible to secure a throwing space for the game ball formed in the first unit 551.

Further, since the second unit 552 can be urged to the base plate 60 (front side), it is possible to suppress the formation of a gap between the second unit 552 and the base plate 60. Therefore, it is possible to prevent an illegal object such as a wire or a piano wire from being inserted between the second unit 552 and the base plate 60 so as to be illegally inserted into the first solenoid 583a and the second solenoid 584a of the first unit 551. it can.

It is not necessary to form an extension portion) in which an opening is formed. As a result, the entire area can be used as the throwing path with respect to the outer shape of the first unit 551 in the front view, and the throwing path of the first unit 551 can be increased.

Further, since the fastening portion between the base plate 60 and the first unit 551 is on the back side of the base plate 60, the fastening portion between the base plate 60 and the first unit 551 is outside due to fraud from the front side of the game board 13. It can be suppressed. As a result, fraud to the first unit 551 can be suppressed. Further, since the fastening portion between the base plate 60 and the first unit 551 is on the back side of the base plate 60, it is possible to make it difficult for the player to recognize the head of the screw. As a result, the player recognizes the configuration for fixing the first unit 551 to the base plate 60, so that the player's interest can be suppressed from being lowered.

Further, the first unit 551 is arranged on the base plate 60 in a state of being urged to the back side with respect to the base plate 60 by the fixing means (screws) fastened from the back side of the base plate 60. Due to the urging force acting on the 1 unit 551 on the back surface side, the 1st unit 551 and the base plate 60 can be arranged in close contact with each other.

Further, since the first unit 551 and the second unit 552 are arranged on the center frame 86 in a state where a throwing path capable of throwing a game ball is formed in each of the first unit 551 and the second unit 552, the throwing path of the first unit 551 and the second unit 551 are provided. It is possible to prevent the throwing path of the unit 552 from being displaced during assembly of the first unit 551 and the second unit 552. As a result, it is possible to prevent the game ball flowing down inside the first unit 551 and the second unit 552 from stopping at the throwing path of the first unit 551 and the second unit 552.

In addition, the first unit 551 includes a rolling surface (second rolling section 577 and third rolling section 578) for allowing the game ball sent to the first unit 551 to flow into the second unit 552. Therefore, if each of the first unit 551 and the second unit 552 is fastened to the projecting portion 86b of the center frame 86, an error in assembling the first unit 551 to the center frame 86 occurs, and the first unit 551 There was a risk that the game ball could not be smoothly thrown from the unit 551 to the second unit 552.

On the other hand, in the present embodiment, as described above, the first unit 551 is fastened to the second unit 552, so that the error at the time of fastening the first unit 551 and the second unit 552 is minimized (when fastened). The place where an error can occur can be set to the minimum). As a result, the game ball can be smoothly thrown from the first unit 551 to the second unit 552.

The fifth and sixth path members 620, 630 to be fastened to the fourth path member 610 are arranged at positions overlapping with at least a part of the insertion portion 617 and the second insertion portion 614 of the fourth path member 610 in the rear view. .. As a result, the first unit 551 can be removed from the center frame 86 only after the fifth and sixth path members 620 and 630 fastened to the fourth path member 610 are removed. As a result, it is possible to prevent the first unit 551 forming the main routes SK1 to SK6 from being removed from the center frame 86 and the main routes SK1 to SK6 from being illegally performed.

Further, the projecting portion 86b includes an upright portion 86b5 that stands (folds back) on the side of the second unit 552 at the end (see FIG. 33 (b)). As a result, in a state where the first unit 551 and the second unit 552 are arranged on the center frame 86 with the projecting portion 86b of the center frame 86 interposed therebetween, the upright portion 86b5 becomes the first unit 551. It is in a state of surrounding the first solenoid 583a and the second solenoid 584a arranged on the back side.

Therefore, with the first unit 551 and the second unit 552 arranged on the center frame 86, an illegal object such as a wire or a piano wire may be inserted between the first unit 551 and the second unit 552 facing each other. Can be suppressed. As a result, it is possible to prevent the first solenoid 583a and the second solenoid 584a of the first unit 551 from being illegally performed while the first unit 551 and the second unit 552 are arranged on the center frame 86.

Further, a part of the front side of the first solenoid 583a and the second solenoid 584a is disposed between the first unit 551 and the second unit 552, and an upright portion 86b5 is interposed. Therefore, a part of the front side of the first solenoid 583a and the second solenoid 584a can be arranged by utilizing the space in which the standing portion 86b5 is arranged. Therefore, a part of the front side of the first solenoid 583a and the second solenoid 584a is accommodated between the first unit 551 and the second unit 552, so that the first solenoid 583a and the second solenoid 584a are on the back side. It is possible to suppress the protrusion. As a result, the circumference of the back side of the first solenoid 583a and the second solenoid 584a can be easily surrounded by the second unit 552, and the first solenoid 583a and the second solenoid 584a can be tampered with from the back side. It can be suppressed by 2 units 552.

Further, since a part of the front side of the first solenoid 583a and the second solenoid 584a is arranged between the first unit 551 and the second unit 552, a game ball flowing down the second unit 552 is placed. It can be hidden by the 1 solenoid 583a and the 2nd solenoid 584a to make it difficult for the player to see. As a result, even if the flow line of the game ball flowing down the first unit 551 and the flow line of the game ball flowing down the second unit 552 overlap in the front view, the game ball flowing down the first unit 551 can be moved. It can be easily made visible to the player. As a result, the player can visually recognize the game ball flowing down the first unit 551, which is given to the player a game value higher than the game value given to the player by the game ball flowing down the second unit 552. Because it can be done, it can be easily given to the player.

Further, in the state where the first unit 551 and the second unit 552 are arranged on the center frame 86, the decorative member 650 is arranged so as to cover the inner side surface of the base frame 86a of the center frame 86. As a result, it is possible to prevent an illegal object such as a wire or a piano wire from being inserted into the special winning device 550 through the opening of the base frame 86a of the center frame 86.

As shown in FIGS. 36 and 37, the first solenoid 583a arranged in the first unit 551 has a central opening whose back surface is formed in the fourth path member 610 and the fifth path member 620 of the second unit 552. It is inserted inside the 622 and the second central opening 634. As a result, it is possible to prevent the second unit 552 from bulging toward the back surface side (arrow B direction side), and it is possible to prevent unauthorized objects such as wires and piano wires from being accessed by the first solenoid 583a.

Further, since the load of the first solenoid 583a can be supported by the second unit 552, it is possible to prevent the second path member 570 of the first unit 551 on which the first solenoid 583a is arranged from bending. As a result, the passage of the game ball of the first unit 551 can be stabilized.

Further, as described above, since the first solenoid 583a and the second solenoid 584a are arranged so as to be surrounded by the opening 86b1 of the projecting portion 86b formed in the center frame 86, the load is relatively large (heavy). The first solenoid 583a and the second solenoid 584a can be supported by the opening 86b1 (protruding portion 86b). As a result, it is possible to prevent the projecting portion 86b from bending due to the load of the special winning device 550.

Therefore, it is possible to prevent the center frame 86 arranged on the base plate 60 from bending (bending), so that the arrangement of the first unit 551 arranged on the center frame 86 is displaced with respect to the base plate 60. Can be suppressed. As a result, the game ball can be smoothly flowed from the game area of the game board 13 into the first unit 551 (special winning device 550).

Further, the second rolling portion 577 and the third rolling portion 578 for sending the game ball from the first unit 551 to the second unit 552 are formed outside the opening 86b1 of the projecting portion 86b. As a result, the electromagnetic force generated by the drive of the first solenoid 583a and the second solenoid 584a arranged inside the opening 86b1 hinders the rolling of the game ball sent from the first unit 551 to the second unit 552. It can be suppressed. In other words, the protrusion 86b can suppress the electromagnetic force generated by driving the first solenoid 583a and the second solenoid 584a from acting on the outside of the protrusion 86b. As a result, it is possible to stabilize the throwing of the game ball from the first unit 551 to the second unit 552.

As described above, the first solenoid 583a is arranged so that the back surface side is inserted into the central opening 622 and the second central opening 634 of the second unit 552. As a result, the wiring of the detection devices SE3 to 6 of the first unit 551 and the first solenoid 583a can be arranged by inserting the central opening 622 and the second central opening 634. Further, since the wiring can be arranged along the first solenoid 583a, it is possible to suppress the wiring from being entangled.

Further, since the load of the first solenoid 583a can be supported by the central opening 622 and the second central opening 634 of the second unit 552, the projecting portion 86b on which the first unit 551 is arranged bends. Can be suppressed. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the center frame 86 arranged on the base plate 60 from bending (bending), so that the arrangement of the first unit 551 arranged on the center frame 86 is prevented from being displaced with respect to the base plate 60. Can be suppressed. As a result, the game ball can be smoothly flowed from the game area of the game board 13 into the first unit 551 (special winning device 550).

The projecting portion 301b is a shaft for holding the engaging member 310 in a slidable state, and is inserted inside a sliding groove 314 that opens in the engaging member 310, which will be described later. Further, the projecting portion 301b is projecting in an annular shape, and a screw can be screwed into the annular shape. Therefore, after the projecting portion 301b is inserted inside the sliding groove 314, a screw having a head having a diameter larger than the groove width of the sliding groove 314 is screwed into the projecting portion 301b to engage the engaging member. The 310 can be arranged in the back case 300.

The first opening 301c is an opening for inserting a part of the fixing member 320 (engaged portion with the engaging member 310) described later, and the engaging portion of the fixing member 320 (engaged portion 332 described later). ) Is formed into a shape that can be inserted. As a result, the fixing member 320 arranged on the back side of the back case 300 (bottom wall portion 301) is engaged with the engaging member 310 arranged on the front side of the back case 300 (bottom wall portion 301). be able to.

Further, the first opening 301c is a protruding wall 301c1 projecting to the back side at an end portion on the opposite side (arrow R direction side) of the fixing member 320 and the engaging member 310 on the engaging side (arrow L direction side). To be equipped. The protrusion 301c1 is formed in a hook shape in which the tip of the protrusion on the back surface side bends by approximately 90 degrees, and the bending direction is set in a direction away from the first opening 301c (arrow R direction).

The protruding wall 301c1 is inserted into the locking portion 331 of the fixing member 320 whose tip is described later. As a result, the opposite side (arrow R direction side) of the engaging portion between the fixing member 320 and the engaging member 310 can be locked. As a result, the fixing member 320 arranged on the back case 300 can be supported (engaged) at both left and right (arrow LR directions) ends, and the engaging portion between the fixing member 320 and the engaging member 310 can be engaged. It is possible to suppress the concentration of force on the fixing member 320 and the engagement member 310 from being damaged. A detailed description of the arrangement of the fixing member 320 in the first opening 301c will be described later.

The second opening 301d is an opening for inserting a part (operator 315) of the engaging member 310, which will be described later, into the back side of the back case 300, whereby the engaging member 310 can be inserted into the back side of the back case. It can be operated from. Therefore, as described above, after the fixing member 320 is arranged on the back surface of the back case 300, the engaging member 310 is operated from the back side of the back case 300 to attach the fixing member 320 and the engaging member to the back case 300 ( It can be engaged on the front side of the bottom wall portion 301).

The engaging member 310 has a crank-like outer shape when viewed from the front, and extends in a direction parallel to each other, the first piece 311 and the second piece 312, and the first piece 311 and the second piece 312 thereof. It is composed of a third piece 313 that connects the ends of the first piece 311 and the second piece 312 in a direction orthogonal to the extending direction of the second piece 312.

The above-mentioned 2 sliding grooves 314 are formed in the first piece 311 and the second piece 312, respectively, and are long in the extending direction (arrow LR direction) of the first piece 311 and the second piece 312. It is opened in an elongated hole shape. As a result, the engaging member 310 is made slidable in the extending direction (arrow LR direction) of the first piece 311 and the second piece 312.

In the first piece 311, the end portion on one side (arrow R direction side) opposite to the other side (arrow L direction side) to which the third piece 313 is connected serves as an engaging portion with the fixing member 320 described later. An engaging portion 316 that is formed and projects outward on both sides in the vertical direction (arrow UD direction), which is a direction substantially orthogonal to the extending direction of the first piece 311, and the engaging portions 316 at the two locations. From the substantially intermediate position toward the recess 317 recessed in the extending direction (arrow LR direction) of the first piece 311 and the bottom wall portion 301 side (back side (arrow B direction side)) of the back case 300. It includes a protruding operator 315.

The outer shape of the engaging portion 316 is formed in a substantially triangular shape in front view, and the outer surface on one side (arrow R direction side) is directed from one end to the other side (arrow L direction side). The outer surface on the other side is formed as an inclined surface protruding outward of the piece 311, while the outer surface on the other side is in the vertical direction (arrow U) which is a direction substantially orthogonal to the extending direction (arrow LR direction) of the first piece 311. -D direction) It is extended.

The recess 317 is formed by notching in the thickness direction of the first piece 311 and is recessed from one side (arrow R direction side) end of the first piece 311 toward the other side (arrow L direction side). The arrow. Therefore, one side of the first piece 311 is bifurcated. As a result, the rigidity of one side of the first piece 311 can be made lower than that of the other side. As a result, one side of the first piece 311 can be easily elastically deformed, and the engaging member 310 can be easily engaged with the fixing member 320. A detailed description of the engagement between the engaging member 310 and the fixing member 320 will be described later.

The operator 315 is an operation portion for operating the engaging member 310, and is formed at the other end of the first piece 311. Its protruding dimension is larger than the plate thickness of the bottom wall portion 301 of the rear case 300. It is set to a value and is projected toward the back side of the back case 300 by at least a size that can be grasped by an operator with a finger. As a result, the operator 315 can be projected from the second opening 301d of the bottom wall portion 301, and the protruding portion (the tip of the operator 315) can be grasped and operated.

The second piece 312 includes a fastening hole 318 that is recessed in a circular shape on the front side. The fastening hole 318 is a portion for screwing a screw inserted into a hole (see FIG. 89) penetrating the back base 720 of the rotating unit 700, which will be described later. As a result, after the rotating unit 700 is arranged inside the back case 300 (the front side of the bottom wall portion 301), the engaging member 310 arranged on the back side of the rotating unit 700 is operated to operate the engaging member. The 310 can be operated to a specified position (engagement position with the fixing member 320 described later), and a screw is screwed into the fastening hole 318 to fasten the engaging member 310 and the rotating unit 700 (rear base 720). can do. Therefore, the engaging member 310 arranged at the specified position can be disabled only by the operation of the operator 315 protruding from the back side of the back case 300. As a result, in the state where the pachinko machine 10 is assembled, the operator 315 is illegally operated, and the fixing member 320 and the board box 100 (main control device 110) are easily replaced with the illegal board box. Can be suppressed.

In this case, the screw that is fastened to the fastening hole 318 through the hole of the back base 720 of the rotating unit 700 can be operated from the hole from which the first winning opening 64 arranged in the game board 13 is removed. Good. In this case, since it is not necessary to release the fastening between the game board 13 and the back case 300, it is possible to suppress the complicated replacement work for the normal board box 100. As a result, the normal replacement work of the board box 100 can be simplified.

The fixing member 320 is composed of a back case 300 and a separate member. As a result, the substrate box 100 can be caulked and fixed to the fixing member 320 having a smaller outer shape than the rear case 300. Therefore, the substrate box 100 can be fixed as compared with the case where the fixing member 320 is integrally formed with the rear case 300. It can be easily arranged. As a result, the board box 100 can be easily arranged in the back case 300 in a state where the board box 100 is difficult to be removed from the fixing member 320.

Further, the back case 300 can be diverted as a part having the same shape in each pachinko machine model, but the board box 100 has a different shape and size depending on the model of each pachinko machine 10, so that the board box 100 The fixing member 320 on which the machine is arranged cannot be used as a diversion with another pachinko machine. Therefore, as compared with the case where the fixing member 320 is integrally formed with the back case 300, the mold for molding the back case 300 can be the same mold as another pachinko machine. As a result, it is only necessary to form a mold for the fixing member 320 having a smaller outer shape than the back case 300, so that the manufacturing cost can be reduced.

The fixing member 320 is composed of an interposing member 330 that engages with the engaging member 310 described above, and a shaft support member 340 that is fastened to the interposing member 330. As a result, the shaft support member 340 can be used as a diversion product having the same shape as the fixing member of another game machine.

The interposition member 330 is formed in a box shape in which the front side (arrow F direction side) is open, and the locking portion 331 projecting from the side surface on the other side (arrow L direction side) and the other side (arrow L direction). Engagement portion 332 formed in a frame shape protruding from the side surface of the back case 300 side (front side), an insertion hole 333 opening in a circular shape on the bottom surface of the box shape, and a shaft support member 340 from the back surface. It mainly includes a protrusion 334 protruding to the side.

Further, the interposing member 330 is formed with protrusions that project from both outer sides of the engaged portion 332 in the gravity direction (arrow UD direction) toward the front side (arrow F direction side) in a columnar shape. Further, the bottom wall portion 301 of the back case 300 is formed with a circular opening recessed at a position corresponding to protrusions protruding from both outer sides in the gravity direction of the engaged portion 332. Therefore, by inserting the protrusion into the opening, the movement of the interposing member 330 (fixing member 320) in the vertical direction in the front view is restricted.

The locking portion 331 is provided with an opening for engaging the other side (arrow L direction side) of the fixing member 320 with the bottom wall portion 301, and the opening has an L-shaped cross section from the periphery of the first opening 301c described above. By inserting the protruding wall 301c1 projecting into the bottom wall 301, the wall portion 301 is engaged with the bottom wall portion 301. As a result, when the intermediate member 330 (fixing member 320) is arranged in the back case 300, the protruding wall 301c1 is inserted through the locking portion 331 of the intermediate member 330 and one side of the intermediate member 330 (arrow R). The directional side) can be locked with respect to the back case 300.

The engaged portion 332 is a portion that engages with the engaging member 310, and the protrusion dimension toward the rear case 300 side (arrow F direction side) exceeds the engaging member 310 arranged in the rear case 300. The distance dimension from the inner surface of the front side (arrow F direction side) of the enclosed space to the front of the bottom wall portion 301 is larger than the distance from the front of the engaging member 310 to the front of the bottom wall portion 301. Set. As a result, the space surrounded by the engaged portion 332 and the engaging member 310 are arranged at overlapping positions in the front-rear direction (arrow FB direction).

The insertion hole 333 is a through hole through which a screw for fastening the intermediate member 330 to the shaft support member 340 described later is inserted, and is set coaxially with the fastening hole 343 of the shaft support member 340.

The protrusion 334 is formed in a substantially L-shaped cross section, and the distance between the tip end portion on the bending side and the bottom surface of the interposition member 330 is set to be larger than the plate thickness of the insertion portion 344 of the shaft support member 340 described later. Will be done. As a result, the insertion portion 344 can be inserted and arranged between the tip of the protrusion 334 on the bent side and the bottom surface of the interposition member 330.

The shaft support member 340 has a box-shaped main body 341 that opens on the back case 300 side (arrow F direction side) and a substantially U-shaped cross section from the back side (arrow B direction side) of the main body 341. It is mainly provided with a bulging support portion 342.

The main body 341 has an insertion portion 344 protruding upward from the side surface on the upper side (arrow U direction side), and a box-shaped main body portion 341 from the bottom surface side (arrow D direction side) to the back surface side (arrow). It mainly includes a fastening hole 343 that is recessed toward the B direction side).

As described above, the insertion portion 344 is a plate member that is inserted between the tip end portion of the protrusion 334 on the bent side and the bottom surface of the interposition member 330. As a result, it is possible to prevent the upper side of the shaft support member 340 from tilting toward the back side of the back case 300.

The fastening hole 343 is arranged on the lower side (the side in the direction of arrow D) that is biased toward the end opposite to the insertion portion 344. Further, as described above, the fastening hole 343 is a hole for fastening a screw through which the insertion hole 333 (see FIG. 39B) of the intermediate member 330 is inserted. Therefore, in the shaft support member 340, the insertion portion 344 on the upper side (arrow U direction side) is inserted into the protrusion 334 of the intervention member 330, and the lower side is fastened and fixed to the intervention member 330. Therefore, since the shaft support member 340 is fixed to the intermediate member 330 only by fastening the screw on the lower side, the number of fastening portions can be reduced and the manufacturing process can be simplified.

The support portion 342 is a portion to be caulked and fastened to the bearing portion 117 of the substrate box 100 (main control device 110) described above, and is formed in a hollow shape in which a caulking metal fitting can be arranged. The substrate box 100 is held in a rotatable state with respect to the shaft support member 340 by fastening with a caulking metal fitting.

Next, the engagement between the engaging member 310 and the fixing member 320 will be described with reference to FIGS. 40 (a) to 41 (b). FIG. 40 (a) is a front view of the rear case 300 in a state before the engaging member 310 and the fixing member 320 are engaged, and FIG. 40 (b) is a view before engaging the engaging member 310 and the fixing member 320. It is a rear view of the rear case 300 in the state of. FIG. 41 (a) is a front view of the rear case 300 in a state after the engaging member 310 and the fixing member 320 are engaged, and FIG. 41 (b) is a view after engaging the engaging member 310 and the fixing member 320. It is a rear view of the rear case 300 in the state of. In addition, in FIG. 40 (b) and FIG. 41 (b), a part of the outer shape of the engaging member 310 overlapping with the back case 300 is shown by a chain line.

As shown in FIGS. 40 (a) and 40 (b), before engaging the engaging member 310 and the fixing member 320, the interposing member 330 and the shaft support member 340 are placed on the interposing member 330 side (front side (arrow). It is fastened and combined with screws inserted from the F direction side)). As a result, it is possible to prevent the intermediate member 330 and the shaft support member 340 from being illegally disassembled (the fastened screws are removed) from the back side of the back case 300. As a result, it is possible to prevent the board box 100, which is caulked and fixed to the shaft support member 340, from being replaced with an illegal board box.

The intervening member 330 and the shaft support member 340 (fixing member 320) in the fastened state have a protruding wall 301c1 formed in the first opening 301c inside the locking portion 331 of the interposing member 330 as described above. Will be inserted. In this case, the intervening member 330 and the shaft support member 340 (fixing member 320) in the fastened state are arranged in the first opening 301c from the bent side (arrow R direction side) of the protruding wall 301c1.

When the fixing member 320 is arranged in the back case 300, the space surrounded by the engaged portion 332 is arranged at a position facing one side (engaging portion 316 side) end portion of the engaging member 310. As a result, by sliding-displace the engaging member 310, one side (arrow R direction side) end of the engaging member 310 can be inserted into the space surrounded by the engaged portion 332.

Here, the outer dimensions of the two engaging portions 316 of the engaging member 310 in the vertical direction (arrow UD direction) are the openings in the vertical direction of the space surrounded by the engaged portion 332 of the fixing member 320 described above. It is set larger than the dimension. Therefore, there is a problem that the engaging member 310 cannot be arranged in the space surrounded by the engaged portion 332.

On the other hand, the engaging member 310 can easily elastically deform the first piece 311 by the recess 317 recessed on one side (arrow R direction side) of the first piece 311 as described above, and is engaged. Due to the triangular shape of the joining portion 316, the force when the engaging member 310 is slidably displaced and comes into contact with the inner edge of the engaged portion 332 can be applied to the concave portion 317 side of the engaging member 310. As a result, the bifurcated first piece 311 can be elastically deformed and inserted into the space surrounded by the engaged portion 332.

As shown in FIGS. 41 (a) and 41 (b), in the engaging member 310 and the fixing member 320, the engaging member 310 is slidably displaced, and the first piece 311 of the engaging member 310 is an interposition member. When inserted into the space surrounded by the engaged portion 332 of 330, the elastically deformed first piece 311 is returned to the shape before deformation. As described above, the engaging portion 316 is extended in a direction in which the side surface on the other side is substantially orthogonal to the extending direction of the first piece 311. Therefore, the force that elastically deforms the first piece 311 toward the recess 317 is not applied only by the force that slides and displaces the engaging member 310 in the opposite direction. That is, the inclined surface and the recess 317 of the engaging portion 316 make it easy to insert the first piece 311 into the space surrounded by the engaged portion 332, and the side surface of the other side (arrow L direction side) of the engaging portion 316 It is possible to make it difficult for the first piece 311 inserted in the space surrounded by the engaged portion 332 to come off. As a result, it is possible to prevent the fixing member 320 from being removed from the back side of the back case 300 due to the illegal act of the player, and the board box 100 (main control device 110) caulked and fastened to the fixing member 320 is an illegal board box. Can be suppressed from being exchanged for.

Further, the back case 300 is arranged between the base plate 60 and the back case 300, and is the back side (arrow B direction side) of the base plate 60, and is the base plate 60 and the back case 300 (bottom wall portion 301). The fixing member 320 includes an engaging member 310 that can be operated from the outside between the facing portions of the above, and the fixing member 320 includes an engaged portion 332 that projects to the front side (arrow F direction side) of the rear case 300, and the engaged portion 332 thereof. And the engaging member 310 are engaged with each other and are arranged on the back case 300. Therefore, in a state where the accessory device (rotating unit 700 in this example) is arranged between the base plate 60 and the back case 300. The engaging member 310 can be operated from the outside between the base plate 60 and the back case 300 to engage the engaging member 310 and the fixing member 320.

Therefore, the fixing member 320 can be arranged on the back case 300 without being disturbed by the accessory device arranged between the base plate 60 and the back case 300 facing each other. As a result, the fixing member 320 can be easily arranged on the back case 300.

Further, since the engaging member 310 is engaged with the engaged portion 332 arranged on the front side (arrow F direction side) of the back case 300, the engaging portion between the back case 300 and the fixing member 320 is used as the base plate. It can be arranged between the 60 and the rear case 300 facing each other. This makes it difficult to access the engaging portion between the engaging member 310 and the fixing member 320 from the back surface side (arrow B direction side) of the base plate 60. As a result, the engagement between the engaging member 310 and the fixing member 320 is released from the back surface side of the base plate 60, and it is possible to prevent the fixing member 320 from being illegally (for example, being replaced with an illegal fixing member). it can.

Further, the back case 300 includes a first opening 301c opened in a portion where the fixing member 320 is arranged, and a second opening 301d opened in the portion where the engaging member 310 is arranged. The engaging member 310 is arranged on the front side (arrow F direction side) of the back case 300 and from the back side (arrow B direction side) of the back case 300 via (inserting) the second opening 301d. The fixing member 320 is operable, and since the engaged portion 332 that has passed through the first opening 301c is arranged on the front side of the back case 300, the engaging portion 332 of the engaging member 310 and the fixing member 320 is arranged. It is possible to make it difficult to access the engaging portion with the rear case 300 from the back side. As a result, the fixing member 320 can be fixed to the back case 300 regardless of the size of the accessory device arranged in the back case 300, and the board box is operated from the back side of the game board 13 and is illegal. It can be prevented from being replaced with.

Further, since the engaging member 310 includes an operator 315 that penetrates the second opening 301d and projects to the back side (arrow B direction side) of the back case 300, the front side of the back case 300 (arrow F direction side). ), The engaging member 310 can be easily operated. As a result, the engagement operation between the engaging member 310 and the engaged portion 332 of the fixing member 320 can be facilitated.

Further, since the engaging member 310 can be slidably displaced on a plane parallel to the front side of the back case 300 (bottom wall portion 301), the engaging member 310 can be slidably displaced with respect to the back case 300 in the front-rear direction (arrow). Since it is not displaced in the FB direction, the front side (arrow F direction side) of the engaging member 310 can be easily used as an arrangement space for the accessory device arranged in the back case 300. As a result, the area on the front side of the back case 300 (bottom wall portion 301) can be easily used as a space for arranging the accessory device.

Next, an operation when the fixing member 320 is removed from the back case 300 from the state shown in FIG. 41 will be described.

As shown in FIG. 41, the first opening 301c is opened in a substantially L-shape in front view, and the recess 317 of the engaging member 310 in the engaged state with the engaged portion 332 of the fixing member 320 is the first. It can be operated from the back side (arrow B direction side) of the back case 300 through the opening 301c.

Therefore, the outer portion of the recess 317 of the engaging member 310 is elastically deformed to the recessed side of the recess 317 with a special tool or the like, so that the engaging portion 316 of the engaging member 310 and the engaged portion 332 are engaged with each other. The match is released. In the disengaged state, the engaging member 310 is displaced in the direction of pulling out from the internal space engaged by the engaged portion 332 (in the direction of arrow L), and then the deformation of the engaging member 310 is restored. , The engagement between the engaging member 310 and the engaged portion 332 can be released.

The gap between the outer portion of the recess 317 of the engaging member 310 and the first opening 301c is preferably formed as small as possible. According to this, the finger of the person who removes the fixing member 320 from the back case 300 can be made impossible to insert, and a special tool can be inserted. As a result, the board box 100 (main control device 110) can be replaced only by an operator having a dedicated tool, and it is possible to prevent the board box 100 from being replaced by an unauthorized board box 100.

Next, the substrate box 100 (main control device 110) caulked and fastened to the shaft support member 340 will be described with reference to FIGS. 42 (a) and 42 (b). 42 (a) is a perspective rear view of the rear case 300 and the board box 100 (main control device 110), and FIG. 42 (b) is a rear view of the rear case 300 and the board box 100 (main control device 110). Is. In FIG. 42B, the outer shape of the engaging member 310 overlapping with the substrate box 100 is shown by a chain line.

As shown in FIGS. 42 (a) and 42 (b), the substrate box 100 includes a bearing portion 117 projecting from one end on one end side (side in the direction of arrow R). A pair of bearing portions 117 are arranged in the vertical direction (arrow UD direction) at predetermined intervals. As described above, the pair of bearing portions 117 are portions that are caulked and fastened to the support portion 342 of the shaft support member 340, and the dimensions of the support portion 342 in the vertical direction (arrow UD direction) and the distance between the facing portions are substantially equal. Set to the same. As a result, the substrate box 100 is fastened to the shaft support member 340 by disposing a support portion 342 between the pair of bearing portions 117 facing each other and inserting a caulking pin from above the bearing portion 117 to caulking and fixing the board box 100. Will be done.

According to the substrate box 100 configured as described above, the substrate box 100 is rotatably held with respect to the shaft support member 340 and is arranged on the back surface side of the engaging member 310. As described above, when the operator 315 is operated to engage the engaging member 310 with the fixing member 320, the operation operator 315 can be easily operated by rotating the board box 100. Further, after the engaging member 310 is engaged with the fixing member 320, the substrate box 100 is arranged on the back side of the engaging member 310, so that the operator 315 can be difficult to operate from the back side of the back case 300. .. As a result, after the pachinko machine 10 is assembled, it is possible to prevent the operator 315 from being operated and replaced with an illegal board box.

The other end side (arrow L direction side) of the board box 100 is inserted from the back side (arrow B direction side) of the board box 100 toward the bottom wall portion 301 of the back case 300 and fastened to the back case 300. It is fixed by the screw to be made. As a result, the substrate box 100 is arranged on the back side of the back case 300 in a non-rotatable (operable) state.

Next, a detailed configuration of the lower displacement unit 400 will be described with reference to FIGS. 43 to 69. First, a structure for displacementing the lower displacement member 440 will be described with reference to FIGS. 43 to 46.

FIG. 43 is a front view of the lower displacement unit 400, and FIG. 44 is a rear view of the lower displacement unit 400. FIG. 45 is an exploded perspective front view of the lower displacement unit 400, and FIG. 46 is an exploded perspective rear view of the lower displacement unit 400. It should be noted that FIGS. 43 to 14 show a state in which the lower displacement member 440 is arranged at the retracted position (the position arranged at the lowermost position with respect to the base member 410).

As shown in FIGS. 43 to 46, the lower displacement unit 400 includes a base member 410 arranged on the bottom wall portion 301 (see FIG. 6) of the rear case 300 and a transmission member arranged on the base member 410. The 420, the link member 430 connected to the base member 410 and displaced with the displacement of the transmission member 420, one end slidably connected to the base member 410 and the other end connected to the link member 430. It is mainly provided with a lower displacement member 440 that is displaced by transmitting a driving force from the link member 430.

The base member 410 is formed by combining two horizontally long rectangular plate members in the front-rear direction, and includes a front base 411 arranged on the front side and a back base 412 arranged on the back side. A transmission member 420 and a link member 430 are arranged between the front base 411 and the back base 412.

The front base 411 has two sliding grooves 411a and 411b penetrating in the front-rear direction (depth direction on the paper in FIG. 43), two columnar shaft support pins 411c and 411d protruding toward the back side, and a shaft support pin 411d. It is mainly provided with a curved wall portion 411e projecting in an arc shape about the axis.

The sliding grooves 411a and 411b are holes through which two protrusions 472 and 473 protruding from the back surface side of the lower displacement member 440 are inserted. The sliding grooves 411a and 411b are formed so as to extend in the left-right direction, respectively. Therefore, by displacing the protrusions 472 and 473 inserted through the sliding grooves 411a and 411b along the sliding grooves 411a and 411b, the lower displacement member 440 can be slid in the left-right direction.

Further, the sliding grooves 411a and 411b are formed by being curved in an arc shape, respectively, and are upward (upward in FIG. 43) from the left side (left side in FIG. 43) to the right end (right side in FIG. 43) of the front base 411. ) Is opened. Further, the sliding grooves 411a and 411b are arranged at different positions on the axes of their respective arcs, and the gap between the opposing portions in the vertical direction (vertical direction in FIG. 43) is narrowed from the left end portion to the right end portion.

Since the distance between the protrusions 472 and 473 of the base member 470 of the lower displacement member 440, which will be described later, does not change, the lower displacement member 440 rotates when the lower displacement member 440 is slid along the sliding groove. It can be displaced while being moved. That is, by changing the distance between the two sliding grooves 411a and 411b, the lower displacement member 440 can be rotated along with the sliding without applying a driving force for rotation to the lower displacement member 440. The detailed displacement mode of the lower displacement member 440 will be described later.

The shaft support pin 411c is a protrusion inserted into the shaft portion 422a of the cam member 422 of the transmission member 420, which will be described later, and is formed in a columnar shape having an outer diameter smaller than the inner diameter of the shaft portion 422a. Further, the shaft support pin 411c is formed of a metal rod-like body and is fitted onto the front base 411. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the shaft support pin 411c from being broken (damaged) when a force is applied to the cam member 422 from the outer peripheral surface thereof in the axial direction.

The shaft support pin 411d is a protrusion inserted into a through hole 431a formed at one end of a first link member 431, which will be described later, and is formed in a columnar shape having an outer diameter smaller than the inner diameter of the through hole 431a. Further, the shaft support pin 411d is formed of a metallic rod-like body and is fitted onto the front base 411. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the shaft support pin 411d from being broken (damaged) when a force is applied to the first link member 431 toward the through hole 431a.

The curved wall portion 411e protrudes from the back surface side of the front base 411 and is formed to be curved around the axis of the shaft support pin 411d. The protruding distance of the curved wall portion 411e is set to a distance that abuts on the protruding tip surface of the plate-shaped protrusion 431b of the first link member 431, which will be described later. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the first link member 431 from being displaced forward. Further, since the curved wall portion 411e is formed by being curved around the axis of the shaft support pin 411d, the first link member 431 even when the first link member 431 is rotated around the axis of the shaft support pin 411d. The plate-shaped protrusion 431b of the above can be brought into contact with the protruding tip surface of the curved wall portion 411e.

The collection port 411f is an opening for allowing the ball ejected from the exit opening 471 to flow into the collection port 411f and collect it by moving the ball receiving portion 467 of the lower displacement member 440, which will be described later. The downstream side of the collection port 411f is connected to the collection path of the sphere. The recovery port 411f is a hole formed so as to project from the right end portion of the front base 411, and its opening surface is a surface facing the lower displacement member 440 in the retracted state and the lower displacement member 440 in the first overhanging state. It is a surface located on the lower side of the exit opening 471 in the direction of gravity.

Further, the exit opening 471 of the lower displacement member 440 in the retracted state is arranged above the recovery port 411f. Therefore, the ball emitted from the exit opening 471 can be received in the collection port 411f and quickly collected.

The back base 412 has groove portions 412a and 412b recessed from the front side (front side of the paper in FIG. 44) toward the back side, and a locking portion 412c formed so as to project toward the front side in the vicinity of the groove portion 412b. Formed mainly in preparation.

The groove portion 412a is a hole for inserting the tip end side of the shaft support pin 411c of the front base 411 described above, is formed in a circular shape having an inner diameter larger than the outer diameter of the shaft support pin 411c, and faces the shaft support pin 411c. It is recessed in the position. Therefore, the cam member 422 is held so as not to fall off from the base member 410 by combining the front base 411 and the back base 412 after inserting the shaft support pin 411c into the shaft portion 422a. Further, since the back base 412 can hold the tip of the shaft support pin 411c, when a force is applied to the cam member 422 in the axial direction from the outer peripheral surface thereof, the shaft support pin 411c is in contact with the front base 411. It is possible to prevent bending and breaking from the connecting portion.

The groove portion 412b is a hole for inserting the tip end side of the shaft support pin 411d of the front base 411 described above, is formed in a circular shape having an inner diameter larger than the outer diameter of the shaft support pin 411d, and faces the shaft support pin 411d. It is recessed in the position. Therefore, the first link member 431 is held incapable of falling off from the base member 410 by combining the front base 411 and the back base 412 after inserting the shaft support pin 411d into the through hole 431a. Further, since the back base 412 can hold the tip of the shaft support pin 411d, when a force is applied to the first link member 431 in the direction of the through hole 431a, the shaft support pin 411d becomes the front base 411. It is possible to prevent bending and breaking from the connecting portion of the.

The locking portion 412c is a plate that locks one end side of the urging spring SP1 described later, and is formed on the outside of the urging spring SP1. As a result, one end side of the urging spring SP1 can be locked. A detailed description of the urging spring SP1 will be described later.

The transmission member 420 includes a transmission gear 421 connected to the shaft of the drive motor KM1 attached to the front side of the front base 411, and a cam meshed with the transmission gear 421 and rotated by driving the transmission gear 421. It is mainly provided with a member 422.

The transmission gear 421 is a gear having a toothed surface over the entire outer peripheral surface, and is externally fitted to the shaft portion of the drive motor KM1. Therefore, when electric power is applied to the drive motor KM1 and the shaft portion is rotated, the transmission gear 421 is also rotated in the same manner.

The cam member 422 is formed in a shape in which one ends of two semicircles having different outer shapes in the front view are combined, and is formed of a plate-like body having a predetermined thickness in the front-rear direction. A tooth surface 422b that meshes with the transmission gear 421 is engraved on the outer peripheral surface of the semicircle having a small outer shape of the cam member 422, and a shaft portion 422a is formed through the center of the semicircle. A sliding groove 422c recessed on the back surface side facing the link member 430, which will be described later, is formed in a semicircular portion having a large outer shape of the cam member 422.

The shaft portion 422a is a hole through which the shaft support pin 411c is inserted as described above, and the shaft portion 422a is rotatably supported by the shaft support pin 411c so that the cam member 422 can rotate the shaft of the shaft support pin 411c. It is held rotatably in the center.

Since the cam member 422 is arranged on the base member 410 with the tooth surface 422b meshed with the transmission gear 421, when the transmission gear 421 is rotated, the cam member 422 rotates about the axis of the shaft portion 422a. it can.

The sliding groove 422c is recessed along the outer peripheral portion of the semicircular portion having a large radius of the cam member 422. Therefore, the distance from the shaft portion 422a increases from one end side to the other end side. Further, the sliding groove 422c is displaced downward with a step portion 422c1 extending in the direction of the through hole 431a from the sliding projection 431d of the first link member 431 when the lower displacement member 440 is located in the retracted state described later. When the member 440 is located in the second overhanging state described later, the step portion 422c3 extending from the sliding protrusion 431d in the direction of the through hole 431a, and the lower displacement member 440 are in the retracted state and the second overhanging state. It is provided with a step portion 422c2 extending in the direction of the through hole 431a from the sliding protrusion 431d when it is located in the first overhanging state in the intermediate state.

The link member 430 is formed of two link members, a first link member 431 and a second link member 432. Further, the link member 430 is formed by rotatably connecting the ends of the first link member 431 and the second link member 432.

The first link member 431 is formed by being bent into a dogleg shape when viewed from the front, and is formed into a plate shape having a predetermined thickness in the front-rear direction. The first link member 431 is a link that is displaced with the displacement of the cam member 422, and has a through hole 431a that penetrates in the front-rear direction on one end side and a columnar connecting projection 431c that protrudes on the back side on the other end side. A plate-shaped projection 431b projecting at a position facing the curved wall portion 411e described above and a columnar sliding projection 431d projecting to the front side of the bent portion are mainly provided.

The through hole 431a is a through hole into which the shaft support pin 411d is inserted as described above. The first link member 431 is rotatably held with respect to the base member 410 by combining the front base 411 and the back base 412 with the shaft support pin 411d inserted into the through hole 431a.

The plate-shaped protrusion 431b is a protrusion that suppresses the position shift of the first link member 431 in the front-rear direction and prevents the first link member 431 from colliding with the cam member 422 arranged in the front, and penetrates through the plate-shaped protrusion 431b. It is formed in a plate-like body that protrudes in a curved shape about the hole 431a, and the protruding length is set to be larger than the thickness of the cam member 422 in the front-rear direction. As a result, it is possible to prevent the back surface of the cam member 422 from colliding with the front surface of the first link member 431.

Further, the protruding dimension of the plate-shaped protrusion 9431b is set to be larger than the thickness (dimension in the arrow FB direction) of the cam member 422. Further, the base member 410 (curved wall portion 411e) facing the projecting tip surface of the plate-shaped protrusion 431b is arranged with a slight gap (distance X14 (see FIG. 55A)).

The cam member 422 is arranged in a displaceable state between the front surface of the first link member 9431 excluding the plate-shaped protrusion 431b and the projecting surface (back surface) of the curved wall portion 411e facing each other. Further, the dimensions of the two gaps including the gap between the cam member 422 and the first link member 431 facing each other and the gap between the cam member 422 and the base member 410 facing each other are larger than the above-mentioned distance X14. It is set large.

As a result, when the first link member 9431 bends in the direction in which the distance X14 becomes smaller (arrow F direction), the base member 410 (curved wall portion 411e) faces the protruding tip surface of the plate-shaped protrusion 431b. Can be brought into contact with. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the cam member 422 from being sandwiched between the front surface of the first link member 9431 excluding the plate-shaped protrusion 9431b and the projecting surface (back surface) of the curved wall portion 411e to regulate the displacement.

The connecting protrusion 431c is a shaft portion that is connected to the second link member 432, which will be described later, and is inserted into the through hole 432a of the second link member 432, and the outer diameter of the head from the back side is larger than that of the through hole 432a. Large screws etc. are fastened. As a result, the first link member 431 and the second link member 432 are rotatably connected.

A wall portion 431f projecting to the back surface side is formed at the edge portion of the through hole 431a. The wall portion 431f is a wall surface for fitting and holding the urging spring SP1 described later on the outer peripheral surface thereof.

The link-side engaging portion 431e is a protrusion that locks the other end side of the urging spring SP1 fitted into the wall portion 431f, and is formed so as to project like a hook on the back surface side of one end side of the first link member 431. .. Therefore, one end of the urging spring SP1 is engaged with the locking portion 412c of the back base 412, and the other end is engaged with the link side engaging portion 431e of the first link member 431. To. Therefore, the urging force of the urging spring SP1 can be applied in the direction of rotating the other end side of the first link member 431 upward with respect to the base member 410. As a result, when the lower displacement member 440 is rotationally displaced, the urging force of the urging spring SP1 acts, so that the energy consumption of the drive motor KM1 can be suppressed.

The sliding projection 431d is formed at a position separated from the through hole 431a, which is substantially the same distance as the separation distance from the through hole 431a to the shaft portion 422a of the cam member 422. Further, the tip portion of the sliding protrusion 431d is inserted inside the sliding groove 422c. That is, the size of the outer diameter of the sliding protrusion 431d is formed to be smaller than the width dimension between the sliding grooves 422c facing each other.

By arranging the sliding projection 431d inside the sliding groove 422c, the sliding projection 431d slides and is displaced inside the sliding groove 422c with the rotational displacement of the cam member 422. That is, when the cam member 422 is displaced, the first link member 431 is rotationally displaced about the axis of the through hole 431a. A detailed description of the displacement of the first link member 431 will be described later.

Further, since the sliding protrusion 431d and the plate-shaped protrusion 431b are formed at positions close to each other, the plate-shaped protrusion 431b suppresses the displacement of the first link member 431 to the front. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the sliding protrusion 431d from pushing the cam member 422 forward. As a result, it is not necessary to increase the recessed depth of the sliding groove 422c recessed in the cam member 422, and the rigidity of the sliding groove 422 can be ensured without increasing the thickness of the cam member 422 in the front-rear direction.

One of the second link members 432 is formed in a long front view rectangle, and is formed in a plate shape having a predetermined thickness in the front-rear direction. The second link member 432 is mainly provided with a through hole 432a formed through the one end side in the front-rear direction and a through hole 432b formed through the other end side in the front-rear direction.

The through hole 432a is a hole for connecting to the first link member 431 as described above, and the connecting protrusion 431c is inserted therein. As a result, the second link member 432 is rotatably connected to the first link member 431.

The through hole 432b is connected to the lower displacement member 440 described later and can transmit the displacement of the link member 430 to the lower displacement member 440. The through hole 432b is a hole into which the protrusion 482a of the back case 482, which will be described later, is inserted, and the inner diameter thereof is formed to be larger than the outer diameter of the protrusion 482a. Therefore, by inserting the protrusion 482a into the through hole 432b and fastening a screw or the like having a head larger than the inner diameter of the through hole 432b to the tip of the protrusion 482a, the lower displacement member 440 becomes the second link member 432. It is held rotatably with respect to. Therefore, when the cam member 422 is rotationally displaced, the drive of the lower displacement member 440 is transmitted via the link member 430.

Next, the displacement operation of the lower displacement member 440 will be described with reference to FIGS. 47 to 52. FIG. 47 is a front view of the lower displacement unit 400 in the retracted state, FIG. 48 is a front view of the lower displacement unit 400 in the first overhanging state, and FIG. 49 is a lower displacement unit in the second overhanging state. It is a front view of 400. FIG. 50 is a rear view of the lower displacement unit 400 in the retracted state, FIG. 51 is a rear view of the lower displacement unit 400 in the first overhanging state, and FIG. 52 is a lower displacement unit in the second overhanging state. It is a rear view of 400. In addition, in FIGS. 50 to 52, the state in which the back surface base 412 is viewed transparently is shown. Further, in FIGS. 50 to 52, a part of the plate-shaped protrusion 431b and the curved wall portion 411e of the first link member 431 is shown by a chain line.

Further, the retracted state is a state in which the sliding protrusions 431d arranged inside the sliding groove 422c are arranged between the opposite steps 442c1 and the lower displacement member 440 is arranged on the lower side. The second overhanging state is a state in which the sliding protrusions 431d are arranged between the step portions 442c3 facing each other, and the tip end side of the lower displacement member 440 is arranged at the uppermost position. The first overhanging state is a state in which the sliding protrusions 431d are arranged between the stepped portions 442c2 facing each other, and the lower displacement member 440 is arranged in an intermediate state between the retracted state and the second overhanging state.

As shown in FIGS. 47 and 50, in the lower displacement unit 400 in the retracted state, the cam member 422 at the first position is rotated by the transmission gear 421 to form the other end side (step portion 422c3 side) of the sliding groove 422c. The shaft portion 422a is positioned on the right side (right side in FIG. 50) when viewed from the rear. In this case, the sliding projection 431d of the first link member 431 is guided along the inner wall of the sliding groove 422c and is positioned at the step portion 422c1. Therefore, the first link member 431 is in a state where the other end side (connecting projection 431c side) is located on the right side (right side in FIG. 50) of the through hole 431a on one end side when viewed from the rear (rotating around the through hole 431a). It is in a state where the end side is positioned at the lower end of the rotatable range (first driven position).

Since the second link member 432 is connected to the first link member 431, one end side (through hole 432a side) connected to the first link member 431 is located on the right side in the rear view (right side in FIG. 50). As a result, in the lower displacement member 440 connected to the second link member 432, the protrusions 472 and 473 connected to the front base 411 are located on the right side (right side in FIG. 50) of the sliding grooves 411a and 411b in the rear view. It is considered to be in a state. As described above, the distance between the sliding grooves 411a and 411b in the vertical direction is larger on the right side in the rear view than on the left side. Therefore, the lower displacement member 440 is substantially parallel to the left and right directions in the longitudinal direction. It is placed in the state of being. That is, it is in a state of being arranged in front of the front base 411.

The displacement from the retracted state shown in FIGS. 47 and 50 to the first overhanging state shown in FIGS. 46 and 51 is performed by displacing the cam member 422.

In the first overhanging state, the transmission gear 421 is rotated by the driving force of the driving motor KM1, and the cam member 422 is rotated by approximately 90 degrees from the retracted position and displaced to the third position. As a result, the other end side (step portion 422c3 side) of the cam member 422 is positioned above the shaft portion 422a. Due to this rotational displacement, the sliding projection 431d of the first link member 431 guided to the inner wall of the sliding groove 422c is displaced along with the displacement of the sliding groove 422c and is arranged at the third driven position. In the first overhanging state, the sliding protrusion 431d is guided between the facing inner walls of the stepped portion 422c2 of the sliding groove 422c.

Therefore, the first link member 431 is rotated by approximately 30 degrees around the through hole 431a due to the displacement of the sliding protrusion 431d, and the other end side (connecting protrusion 431c side) is from the retracted position to the upper left of the rear view (FIG. 51). It is displaced to the upper left).

Due to the rotational displacement of the first link member 431, the second link member 432 connected to the first link member 431 is displaced, and the lower displacement member 440 connected to the second link member 432 is displaced. In this case, the lower displacement member 440 is displaced along the shape of the sliding grooves 411a and 411b because the protrusions 472 and 473 are slidably connected to the sliding grooves 411a and 411b of the front base 411. As described above, the distance between the sliding grooves 411a and 411b in the vertical direction is narrowed from the right side in the rear view to the left side, so that the lower displacement member 440 slides to the right side in the front view (right side in FIG. 48). While being displaced, the tip side is rotationally displaced upward.

Further, in the first overhanging state, the recovery port 411f is located on the lower side in the direction of gravity on the tip side. That is, at the time of transition from the retracted state to the first overhanging state, the lower displacement member 440 is rotationally displaced while being slidably displaced so that the tip end side of the lower displacement member 440 overhangs to the right side of the base member 410 in the front view. It can be displaced without causing it. As a result, it is possible to easily form a displacement region different from the variable region of other displacement accessories. It is possible to suppress collision with other displacement accessories.

Further, since the recovery port 411f is located below one end side of the lower displacement member 440 (the side opposite to the protrusions 472 and 473 sides connected to the front base 411), the ball receiving portion 467 of the lower displacement member 440, which will be described later, is located. When the ball is launched and falls downward from the exit opening 471 as it is, the ball can be thrown to the collection port 411f.

The displacement from the first overhanging state shown in FIGS. 48 and 51 to the second overhanging state shown in FIGS. 49 and 52 is performed by further displacing the cam member 422 from the first overhanging state.

In the second overhanging state, the transmission gear 421 is rotated by the driving force of the drive motor KM1 from the first overhanging state, and the cam member 422 is rotated approximately 90 degrees from the position of the first overhanging state (third position). It is placed in the second position. Therefore, the other end side of the cam member 422 (the step portion 422c3 side is positioned above the shaft portion 422a. Further, the sliding of the first link member 431 guided to the inner wall of the sliding groove 422c by this rotational displacement. The moving protrusion 431d is displaced according to the displacement of the sliding groove 422c and is arranged at the second driven position. In the second overhanging state, the sliding protrusion 431d is a step portion 422c1 of the sliding groove 422c. Guided between facing inner walls.

Therefore, the first link member 431 is rotated by approximately 30 degrees around the through hole 431a due to the displacement of the sliding projection 431d, and the other end side (connecting projection 431c side) is seen from the position in the first overhanging state. It is displaced to the upper left (upper left of FIG. 52).

Due to the rotational displacement of the first link member 431, the second link member 432 connected to the first link member 431 is displaced, and the lower displacement member 440 connected to the second link member 432 is displaced. In this case, the lower displacement member 440 is displaced along the shape of the sliding grooves 411a and 411b because the protrusions 472 and 473 are slidably connected to the sliding grooves 411a and 411b of the front base 411. As described above, the distance between the sliding grooves 411a and 411b in the vertical direction is narrowed from the right side in the rear view to the left side, so that the lower displacement member 440 slides to the right side in the front view (right side in FIG. 49). While being displaced, the tip side is rotationally displaced upward.

Further, similarly to the first overhanging state, in the second overhanging state, the recovery port 411f is positioned on the lower side in the gravity direction on the tip side. That is, at the time of transition from the retracted state to the second overhanging state, the lower displacement member 440 is rotationally displaced while being slidably displaced so that the tip end side of the lower displacement member 440 overhangs to the right side of the base member 410 in the front view. It can be displaced without causing it. As a result, it is possible to easily form a displacement region different from the variable region of the other displacement accessory, and it is possible to suppress collision with the other displacement accessory.

Next, with reference to FIG. 53, the positional relationship between the first link member 431 and the cam member 422 in each state will be described. FIG. 53A is a rear view of the first link member 431 and the cam member 422 in the retracted state, FIG. 53B is the first overhanging state, and FIG. 53C is the second overhanging state. is there. In FIGS. 53 (a) to 53 (c), the portion of the cam member 422 that overlaps with the first link member 431 is shown by a chain line.

As shown in FIG. 53 (a), in the retracted state, the sliding projection 431d of the first link member 431 is arranged between the inner walls of the stepped portion 422c1 of the sliding groove 422c facing each other. Further, as described above, the sliding projection 431d is formed at a position substantially the same as the distance between the through hole 431a and the shaft portion 422a of the cam member 422, and at a position separated from the through hole 431a. Therefore, when a force rotating about the axis of the through hole 431a acts on the first link member 431 located in the retracted state, the force is applied from the sliding projection 431d to the shaft portion 422a of the cam member 422. it can. Therefore, the rotational force of the first link member 431 can prevent the cam member 422 from rotating. As a result, it is possible to prevent the lower displacement member 440 connected to the first link member 431 via the second link member 432 from being displaced in the retracted state.

As shown in FIG. 53B, in the first overhanging state, the sliding protrusions 431d of the first link member 431 and the stepped portions 422c2 of the sliding groove 422c are arranged between the facing surfaces of the inner walls. Therefore, as in the retracted state, when a force rotating around the through hole 431a acts on the first link member 431 located in the first overhanging state, the force is applied from the sliding projection 431d to the cam member 422. It can act on the shaft portion 422a. Therefore, the rotational force of the first link member 431 can prevent the cam member 422 from rotating. As a result, it is possible to prevent the lower displacement member 440 connected to the first link member 431 via the second link member 432 from being displaced in the first overhanging state.

Here, at the first overhanging position, the drive motor KM1 needs to be maintained in the stopped state in order to maintain the stopped state because it is an intermediate position of the displacement of the lower displacement member 440. Therefore, there is a problem that energy consumption increases when the lower displacement member 440 is stopped at the first overhanging position (intermediate position of displacement).

On the other hand, in the present embodiment, in the first overhanging state, the sliding projection 431d of the first link member 431 is arranged between the inner walls of the stepped portion 422c2 of the sliding groove 422c, as described above. In addition, it is possible to prevent the lower displacement member 440 from being displaced. Therefore, when the lower displacement member 440 is stopped at a position in the middle of the displacement, even if the electric power of the drive motor KM1 is stopped, the lower displacement member 440 can be suppressed from being displaced. As a result, it is possible to prevent the energy consumption of the drive motor KM1 from increasing when the lower displacement member 440 is stopped in the middle of displacement.

As shown in FIG. 53 (c), in the second overhanging state, the sliding protrusions 431d of the first link member 431 and the stepped portions 422c2 of the sliding groove 422c are arranged between the facing surfaces of the inner walls. Therefore, as in the retracted state and the first overhanging state, when a force rotating around the axis of the through hole 431a acts on the first link member 431 located in the second overhanging state, the force slides. The protrusion 431d can act on the shaft portion 422a of the cam member 422. Therefore, the rotational force of the first link member 431 can prevent the cam member 422 from rotating. As a result, it is possible to prevent the lower displacement member 440 connected to the first link member 431 via the second link member 432 from being displaced in the second overhanging state.

Further, since each step portion 422c1, 422c2, 422c3 extends in the direction connecting the sliding protrusion 431d and the through hole 431a, the sliding groove 422c in the direction in which the sliding protrusion 431d of the first link member 431 is displaced. The width dimension of can be reduced. Therefore, the gap between the sliding groove 422c and the sliding protrusion 431d at which the first link member 431 can be rotationally displaced about the axis of the through hole 431a at the retracted position, the first overhanging position, and the second overhanging position is made small. it can. Therefore, the gap in which the first link member 431 in each state can be rotationally displaced about the axis of the through hole 431a can be reduced. As a result, the width of the lower displacement member 440 in each state swaying due to vibration or inertial force when the displacement is stopped can be reduced, and the player can easily visually recognize the stopped state.

Therefore, the transmission member 420 and the link member 430 (drive mechanism) that drive the lower displacement member 440 restrict the lower displacement member 440 from being displaced in the direction of reaction when the game ball is ejected from the ball receiving portion 467. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the lower displacement member 440 from being displaced with respect to the base member 410 due to the reaction. As a result, rattling of the lower displacement member 440 can be suppressed.

Next, with reference to FIG. 54, the relationship between the link member 430 and the cam member 422 in the front-rear direction will be described. FIG. 54 (a) is a schematic cross-sectional view of the lower displacement unit 400 on the LIVa-LIVA line of FIG. 50, and FIG. 54 (b) is a schematic cross-sectional view of the lower displacement unit 400 on the LIVb-LIVb line of FIG. is there. Note that, in FIGS. 51 and 52, the rear base 412 is shown transparently, but in FIGS. 54A and 54B, a cross-sectional view of the lower displacement unit 400 in a non-transparent state is shown. ..

As shown in FIG. 54A, the link member 430 of the lower displacement unit 400 in the retracted state is arranged between the back surface base 412 and the cam member 422. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the lower displacement member 440 from swinging in the front-rear direction. That is, since the other end side of the first link member 431 is connected to the lower displacement member 440 formed by combining a plurality of equipment via the second link member 432, the load of the lower displacement member 440 causes the lower displacement member 440 to move in the front-rear direction. Since the cam member 422 is arranged in the front where there is a risk of bending, it is possible to prevent the first link member 431 from bending forward. As a result, since the first link member 431 can be suppressed from moving forward, the downward displacement member 440 can be suppressed from swinging in the front-rear direction.

As shown in FIG. 54 (b), the link member 430 of the lower displacement unit 400 in the first overhanging state is arranged between the back surface base 412 and the cam member 422 as in the case of the retracted state. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the lower displacement member 440 from swinging in the front-rear direction.

Further, in the retracted state and the first overhanging state, the cam member 422 is arranged on the front side of the connecting portion between the first link member 431 and the second link member 432 of the link member 430. Therefore, when the link member 430 is formed of the two members, it is necessary to make the connecting portion rotatable, so that the rigidity of the link member 430 is weaker than that of the other portions due to the gap, and the link member 430 is easily bent. Since the member 422 is arranged, it is possible to prevent the connecting portion of the link member 430 from bending. As a result, it is possible to prevent the lower displacement member 440 from swinging in the front-rear direction.

<Regulate the displacement of the displacement member by the regulatory means that regulates the displacement of the driven member>
Next, the relationship between the cam member 422 and the curved wall portion 411e will be described with reference to FIGS. 55 and 56. FIG. 55 (a) is a cross-sectional view of the lower displacement unit 400 in the LVa-LVa line of FIG. 50, and FIG. 55 (b) is a cross-sectional view of the lower displacement unit 400 in the LVb-LVb line of FIG. FIG. 55 (c) is a cross-sectional view of the lower displacement unit 400 in the LVc-LVc line of FIG. 52.

As shown in FIG. 55 (a), when the lower displacement unit 400 is in the retracted state (first position), the cam member 422 and the curved wall portion 411e are in the front-rear direction (arrow FB direction). Placed in different positions. Therefore, when the lower displacement unit 400 is displaced from the retracted state (first position) to the first overhanging state (third position), it is possible to suppress an increase in the resistance acting on the cam member 422. As a result, the displacement start of the lower displacement member 440 can be stabilized.

As shown in FIGS. 55 (b) and 55 (c), when the lower displacement unit 400 is in the first overhanging state (third position), a part of the cam member 422 is a curved wall portion 411e. It is arranged at a position separating a predetermined gap on the front side (arrow F direction side) of the. As a result, when the cam member 422 is displaced in the front direction, the axial side surface of the cam member 422 is brought into contact with the curved wall portion 411e, and the cam member 422 can be prevented from being displaced to the front side.

The surface of the cam member 422 on the front base 411 side (arrow F direction side) is formed as a flat surface parallel to the back surface of the front base 411 (see FIG. 45). As a result, when the cam member 422 is displaced toward the curved wall portion 411e, the flat surface of the cam member 422 can be brought into contact with the curved wall portion 411e. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the cam member 422 from partially contacting the curved wall portion 411e and to prevent the force from being concentrated on a part of the cam member 422. As a result, it is possible to prevent the cam member 422 from being damaged.

Here, as described above, when the lower displacement member 440 is displaced from the retracted state (first position) to the first overhanging state (third position), the protrusion 473 connected to the tip side (front base 411). And the opposite side in the longitudinal direction) are rotationally displaced upward (in the direction of arrow U). Therefore, as the longitudinal direction component of the lower displacement member 440 approaches the direction of gravity, the force component at which the lower displacement member 440 tilts in the front-rear direction is increased. Therefore, in the case of the first overhanging state (third position), the force acting on the link member 430 supporting the lower displacement member 440 is stronger than in the case of the retracted state (first position). Be enlarged. As a result, the cam member 422 connected to the link member 430 is likely to be displaced in the front-rear direction.

On the other hand, in the present embodiment, when the lower displacement unit 400 is displaced beyond the retracted state (first position) to the first overhanging state (third position), a part of the cam member 422 is a curved wall. Since it is arranged on the front side of the portion 411e, it is possible to regulate the displacement of the cam member 422 toward the front side. As a result, it is possible to suppress the lower displacement member 440 from swinging in the front-rear direction between the first overhang state (third position) and the second overhang state (second position), and the player can displace the lower displacement member 440. Can be easily seen.

The displacement of the link member 430 to the back surface side can be regulated by disposing the link member 430 between the back surface base 412 and the cam member 422 as described above. That is, when the link member 430 swings toward the back surface side, the link member 430 can be brought into contact with the back surface base 412 to regulate the displacement of the link member 430. As a result, it is possible to prevent the lower displacement member 440 from swinging in the front-rear direction.

Further, the front base 411 is provided with a regulating means (curved wall portion 411e) for restricting the swing of the link member 430 in a direction other than the driven direction, and the cam member 422 is displaced between the first position and the second position. The first displacement region that displaces the third position between the first position and the intermediate position between the first position and the second position and the second displacement region that displaces the second position from the third position can be displaced. The link member 430 is driven from the first driven position to the second driven position by the displacement of the cam member 422 from the first position to the second position, and the link member 430 is driven from the first driven position to the first driven position and the second driven position. The first driven region that displaces the third driven position at the intermediate position with and the second driven region that displaces the second driven position from the third driven position can be displaced, and the second displacement region and the first driven region are displaceable. When the cam member 422 is displaced in the second displacement region, the cam member 422 is restricted from swinging in a direction other than the displacement direction by the regulating means (curved wall portion 411e). Therefore, the swing of the link member 430 and the cam member 422 can be regulated by utilizing the same portion of the regulating means (curved wall portion 411e).

Therefore, since it is sufficient to form the regulating means (curved wall portion 411e) at one place, the shape of the regulating means is different from the case where the regulating means for regulating the displacement is formed on each of the cam member 422 and the link member 430. Can be simplified and the manufacturing cost can be suppressed.

Further, since the swing of the link member 430 and the cam member 422 can be regulated by using the same portion of the regulating means (curved wall portion 411e), the link member 430 can be applied to one regulating means (curved wall portion 411e). Since it is not necessary to form the cam member 422 and the regulating portion, respectively, the regulating means (curved wall portion 411e) can be reduced accordingly.

Further, when the lower displacement unit 400 is displaced from the retracted state to the second overhanging state, the protrusions 472 and 473 of the lower displacement member 440 inserted into the sliding grooves 411a and 411b formed in the front base 411. (Color C (see FIG. 14) arranged on the protrusions 472 and 473) is the front side (arrow F direction side) of the other end side (step portion 422c3 side) of the cam member 422 as the cam member 422 is displaced. (See FIGS. 50 to 52). As a result, when the other end side (step portion 422c3 side) of the cam member 422 is pushed out to the back side by the protrusions 472 and 473 (color C arranged on the protrusions 472 and 473), the cam member 422 is pushed to the back surface side. There is a risk that it will be rotationally displaced in the front-rear direction around 422a and come into contact with the link member 430.

On the other hand, in the present embodiment, as described above, the displacement of the cam member 422 to the front side can be regulated by abutting the curved wall portion 411e, so that the cam member 422 is centered on the shaft portion 422a. Rotational displacement in the front-back direction can be suppressed. As a result, it is possible to prevent the link member 430 and the cam member 422 from coming into contact with each other.

Further, in the present embodiment, when the cam member 422 is displaced beyond the first overhanging state (third position), the displacement is regulated by the curved wall portion 411e, so that the cam member 422 is curved during the initial operation. It is possible to prevent the frictional resistance from increasing due to contact with the wall portion 411e. As a result, the initial operation of the cam member 422 can be stabilized.

Next, with reference to FIG. 56, the cam member 422 and the first link member 431 when the lower displacement unit 400 is in the second displacement state will be described. FIG. 56A is a cross-sectional view of the lower displacement unit 400 in the LVIa-LVIa line of FIG. 52, and FIG. 56B is a first view of the lower displacement unit 400 in the second overhanging state (second position). It is a front view of the link member 431 and the cam member 422. In FIG. 56B, the outer shape of the base member 410 is shown by a chain line.

As shown in FIG. 56, when the lower displacement unit 400 is in the second displacement state, the end portion of the cam member 422 comes into contact with the plate-shaped protrusion 431b of the first link member 431. Thereby, the rotational displacement of the cam member 422 in the direction in which the lower displacement unit 400 is displaced from the retracted state (first position) to the second displacement state can be regulated. As a result, the operation of stopping the rotational displacement of the cam member 422 can be dispersed between the meshing portion of the transmission gear 421 and the tooth surface 422b and the contact portion of the cam member 422 and the first link member 431, and transmission is possible. It is possible to prevent the tooth surfaces of the gear 421 and the tooth surface 422b from being damaged.

When the lower displacement unit 400 is in the second displacement state, the contact surface between the plate-shaped protrusion 431b of the first link member 431 and the cam member 422 is in contact with the shaft portion 422a of the cam member 422. It is set in a direction orthogonal to the virtual line KS1 passing through the portion. As a result, when a force that displaces from the second displacement state to the retracted state (first position) acts around the axis of the first link member 431, the force is applied to the shaft of the shaft portion 422a of the cam member 422. It is possible to suppress the action in the direction of rotating around. As a result, it is possible to suppress the rotation of the cam member 422 by the force acting on the first link member 431.

Here, as described above, the tip side (the side opposite to the protrusion 473 connected to the front base 411 in the longitudinal direction) of the lower displacement member 440 is rotationally displaced upward (in the direction of arrow U). Therefore, as the longitudinal direction component of the lower displacement member 440 approaches the direction of gravity, the rotational force acting around the axis of the through hole 431a of the first link member 431 supporting the lower displacement member 440 is maximized. Since the transmission of the force from the first link member 431 to the cam member 422 is suppressed, the lower displacement member 440 can be easily maintained at the position of the second displacement state.

Further, when the cam member 422 is arranged at the position in the second displacement state, a force that rotates around the axis of the through hole 431a of the first link member 431 is applied by the load of the lower displacement member 440. In this case, the end portion of the cam member 422 is pushed out by the plate-shaped protrusion 431b, and the force PW1 (see FIG. 56B) in the direction in which the cam member 422 rotates around the axis of the shaft portion 422a and the sliding of the cam member 422. The inner wall of the moving groove 422c is pushed out from the sliding projection 431d, and the force PW2 (see FIG. 56B) in the direction in which the cam member 422 rotates around the axis of the shaft portion 422a acts in a direction of canceling each other. As a result, it is possible to prevent the cam member 422 from rotating due to the force acted on by the first link member 431.

Next, the configuration of the lower displacement member 440 will be described in detail with reference to FIGS. 57 to 60. FIG. 57 (a) is a front view of the lower displacement member 440, and FIG. 57 (b) is a rear view of the lower displacement member 440. FIG. 58 is an exploded perspective front view of the lower displacement member 440, and FIG. 59 is an exploded perspective rear view of the lower displacement member 440. 60 (a) and 60 (b) are front views of the lower displacement member 440.

Note that FIG. 60A shows a state in which the decorative member 450 of the lower displacement member 440 is transparently viewed, and FIG. 60B shows a transparent view of the decorative member 450 of the lower displacement member 440 and the front case 481. The state is illustrated.

As shown in FIGS. 57 to 60, the lower displacement member 440 includes a base member 470 connected to the front base 411, a case member 480 covering the front and rear of the base member 470, and a case member 480 and a base member 470. It is mainly provided with a transmission mechanism 460 displaceably arranged between them and a decorative member 450 formed so as to cover the front and rear of the case member 480.

The base member 470 is a plate member formed in a rectangular shape in a front view, and has protrusions 472 and 473 protruding to the back side on one end side and an erection wall 471a standing on the front side from the edge on the other end side. , Left-right direction (FIG. 57 left-right direction) A protruding wall 477 that protrudes vertically from the upper end of the central part to the front side in an up-down U-shape, and an engraved on the upper end of the base member 470 from the end of the protruding wall 477 to one end side. The rack gear 476 to be installed, the shaft portions 474 and 475 protruding to the front side, the rectangular wiring locking portion 478 attached to the back surface on one end side of the base member 470, and the vertical center portion of the base member 470. Is mainly provided with an opening 479 that extends from one end side to the other end side and is recessed.

The protrusions 472 and 473 are connecting portions that are inserted into the sliding grooves 411a and 411b of the front base 411 to connect the lower displacement member 440 and the front base 411 as described above. Therefore, the sliding grooves 411a and 411b are formed in a columnar shape having an outer diameter smaller than the dimension between the inner walls facing each other.

The erection wall 471a is a wall portion for forming a gap between the front case 481 and the base member 470 when the front case 481 described later is attached to the base member 470, and has a diameter of a sphere. It is set to a larger vertical dimension.

The shaft portions 474 and 475 are protrusions that are inserted into the shafts of the transmission gears 462 and 463 of the transmission mechanism 460 to be described later and hold the transmission gears 462 and 463 rotatably, and are larger than the inner diameter of the shaft hole of the transmission gears 462 and 463. It is formed in a columnar shape with a small outer diameter.

The rack gear 476 is engraved with a tooth surface that meshes with the transmission gear 465 described later. As a result, the movable rack 464, which will be described later, slides and displaces with respect to the base member 470, so that the transmission gear 465 can be rotated.

When the ball thrown from the ball throwing unit 600, which will be described later, is received in front of the base member 470 through the opening 451a of the decorative member 450, the projecting wall 477 causes the ball to fall to the outside of the lower displacement member 440. It is a wall surface for suppressing the above, and the space between the facing wall portions formed in a substantially U shape is formed larger than the diameter of the sphere.

The wiring locking portion 478 is a member for locking the flexible wiring (not shown) to the control board arranged on the back side of the base member 470, and one end of the flexible wiring between the wiring locking portion 478 and the base member 470. It is attached to the back side of the base member 470 in a state of being interposed. As a result, even if the lower displacement member 440 is displaceably arranged with respect to the base member 410, it is possible to prevent the flexible wiring from being entangled.

Further, the wiring locking portion 478 is provided with a protrusion 478a protruding in a columnar shape on the back surface side. The protrusion distance of the protrusion 478a is set to a distance that protrudes to the back side of the link member 430 connected to the back side, and is set to a distance that allows contact with the front surface of the back base 412. As a result, it is possible to prevent the lower displacement member 440 from swinging backward, and it is possible to prevent the link member 430 from colliding with the back surface base 412.

The opening 469 is an opening that defines the slide displacement direction of the movable rack 464 arranged on the front side, and the guide plate 464d of the movable rack 464, which will be described later, is inserted inside.

The transmission mechanism 460 is a member arranged in front of the base member 470, and meshes with the transmission gears 461, 462, 463, the drive motor KM2 whose shaft portion is connected to the transmission gear 461, and the transmission gear 463. A movable rack 464 having a tooth surface and slidably arranged in front of the base member 470, and a transmission gear rotatably arranged in the movable rack 464 and in a state of being meshed with the rack gear 476. A rack 466 having a tooth surface meshed with the transmission gear 465 and slidably arranged in front of the movable rack 464, and a ball rotatably arranged on one end side of the rack 466. It is mainly provided with a receiving portion 467.

The transmission gear 461 is a gear in which the shaft portion of the drive motor KM2 is fitted in the shaft hole, and the drive motor KM2 is attached to the base member 470 in a state of being connected to the drive motor KM2, so that the base member 470 Is arranged in.

As described above, the transmission gears 462 and 463 are rotatably held by the base member by inserting the shaft portions 474 and 475 of the base member 470 into the shaft holes. Further, the transmission gears 461 to 463 are gear trains meshed with each other, and when the transmission gear 461 is rotated by the drive motor KM2, the terminal transmission gear 463 is rotated.

The movable rack 464 is formed in a rectangular horizontally long plate shape when viewed from the front, and has a rack gear 464a engraved on the lower end surface, a shaft portion 464b projecting in a columnar shape from the front side, and projecting upward from one end side of the upper end surface. The contact plate 464c, the guide plate 464d projecting from one end to the other end at a substantially central position in the vertical direction, the rack guide portion 464e projecting to the front side opposite to the guide plate 464d, and the lower end projecting to the other end. It is mainly provided with a collision portion 464f.

The rack gear 464a is a tooth surface that meshes with the transmission gear 463. Therefore, by arranging the rack gear 464a and the transmission gear 463 in a toothed state on the base member 470, the movable rack 464 can be displaced by the drive of the drive motor KM2.

The shaft portion 464b is a shaft portion in which the transmission gear 465 is rotatably held, and is formed in a columnar shape having an outer diameter smaller than the shaft hole of the transmission gear 465.

The contact plate 464c is a contact portion that abuts on the distribution member 540 of the distribution unit 500, which will be described later, and displaces the distribution member 540. That is, the distribution member 540 can be displaced by the displacement of the movable rack 464. The mode of contact between the contact plate 464c and the distribution member 540 will be described later.

As described above, the guide plate 464d is a plate-like body inserted inside the opening 479 of the base member 470, and can define the displacement direction of the movable rack 464 that is displaced by the drive of the drive motor KM2. That is, the movable rack 464 that is displaced by the drive of the drive motor KM2 can be displaced along the extending direction of the opening 479. In the present embodiment, since the opening 479 extends in the left-right direction, the movable rack 464 can be slid and displaced in the left-right direction with respect to the base member 470.

The rack guide portion 464e is a protruding wall for regulating the displacement direction of the rack 466, which will be described later, and is projected from one end to the other end in the left-right direction.

The collision portion 464f is a wall portion that abuts on the protrusion 492b of the displacement member 492, which will be described later, to displace the displacement member 492, and is formed so as to project from the lower end of the movable rack 464. Further, the collision portion 464f is formed so that the other end side is inclined. As a result, the protrusion 492b of the displacement member 492 can be slid along the inclined surface to be displaced.

The rack 466 is formed of a horizontally long rod-shaped body having a rectangular shape when viewed from the front, and has a rack gear 466a engraved on the upper end surface, a shaft portion 466b protruding from the other end side to the back side in a columnar shape, and protruding toward the front side. It is mainly provided with two sliding plates 466c and a recessed portion 466d which is recessed from one end to the other end on the back surface side.

The rack gear 466a is meshed with a transmission gear 465 attached to the movable rack 464. As a result, when the rack 466 is arranged in front of the movable rack 464, the movable rack 464 slides and displaces, so that the transmission gear 465 is rotated according to the slide displacement, and the driving force is transmitted to the rack 466. .. Therefore, the rack 466 can be displaced with respect to the movable rack 464.

The shaft portion 466b is a protrusion inserted into the shaft hole 467b of the ball receiving portion 467, which will be described later, and is formed in a columnar shape having an outer diameter larger than the inner diameter of the shaft hole 467b. As a result, the ball receiving portion 467 can be held rotatably.

The sliding plate 466c is a protrusion inserted into the opening 481a of the front case 481 described later, and is formed of a plate-like body having a predetermined thickness. As a result, when the driving force is transmitted to the rack 466 from the transmission gear 465 and the rack 466 is displaced with respect to the movable rack 464, the displacement direction of the rack 466 can be defined as the extending direction of the opening 481a. it can.

The recessed portion 466d is in a state in which the rack guide portion 464e is arranged inside when the rack 466 is arranged in front of the movable rack 464. As a result, when the driving force is transmitted to the rack 466 from the transmission gear 465 and the rack 466 is displaced with respect to the movable rack 464, the displacement direction of the rack 466 can be defined as the extension direction of the rack guide portion 464e. it can.

Here, in order to regulate the displacement direction of the rack 466, if the recessed portion 466d and the rack guide portion 464e are formed, the displacement direction of the rack 466 can be defined as the extension direction of the rack guide portion 464e. However, since the lower displacement member 440 is rotationally displaced while being slidably displaced in the left-right direction, the meshing state of the transmission gear 465 and the rack 466 changes due to its own weight depending on the displacement state of the lower displacement member 440, and the transmission is transmitted. There was a risk that the driving force would not be transmitted well from the gear 465 to the rack 466.

On the other hand, in the present embodiment, the lower displacement member 440 is formed because the sliding plate 466c and the opening 481a and the recessed portion 466d and the rack guide portion 464e are formed at two locations that define the displacement direction of the rack 466. It is possible to suppress the change in the meshing state of the transmission gear 465 and the rack 466 when the displacement state of the above is changed. As a result, it is possible to prevent the transmission of the drive from the transmission gear 465 to the rack 466 from being hindered.

Further, the sliding plate 466c is formed so as to project from two positions in the left-right direction (FIG. 57 (a) left-right direction) of the rack 466, and the sliding plate 466c on the other end side (opposite side of the shaft portion 466b) is formed. It is arranged below the transmission gear 465 (lower side in FIG. 57) at the displacement end position of the rack (the position where the rack 466 most overhangs the movable rack 464).

Here, at the displacement end position, since the ball receiving portion 467 arranged on the shaft portion 466b of the rack 466 performs a firing operation (rotational displacement) as described later, the ball receiving portion arranged on one end side of the rack 466 is performed. The other end side of the rack is likely to be displaced due to the inertial force due to the displacement of the portion 467. Therefore, a load is likely to be applied to the tooth joint surfaces of the transmission gear 465 and the rack 466, and the transmission gear 465 and the rack 466 may be damaged.

On the other hand, in the present embodiment, the sliding plate 466c on the other end side (opposite side of the shaft portion 466b) is the displacement end position of the rack (the position where the rack 466 most overhangs the movable rack 464). Since it is arranged below the transmission gear 465 (lower side in FIG. 57), the rack 466 at a position where the ball receiving portion 467 engages with the transmission gear 465 and the rack 466 when the ball receiving portion 467 performs a firing operation (rotational operation). Can be suppressed from being displaced. As a result, it is possible to prevent the transmission gear 465 and the rack 466 from being damaged.

The ball receiving portion 467 is a portion that holds the game ball, is formed in a substantially U-shape in front view, and is formed so that the ball can be received in the inner portion of the U-shape. That is, the inside of the U-shape of the ball receiving portion 467 is formed slightly larger than the outer shape of the sphere. As a result, one ball can be formed in the inner portion of the ball receiving portion 467. Further, the ball receiving portion 467 is mainly provided with a shaft hole 467b penetrating in the front-rear direction at the lower end position of the U-shape and a leg portion 467a protruding downward from the lower outer peripheral surface.

As described above, the shaft hole 467b is a shaft hole for holding the ball receiving portion 467 in the rack 466 in a rotatable state, and is formed to have an inner diameter larger than the outer diameter of the shaft portion 466b of the rack 466. Therefore, the ball receiving portion 467 can be rotatably held by inserting the shaft portion 466b of the rack 466 into the shaft hole 467b. Further, after the shaft portion 466b is inserted into the shaft hole 467b, the urging spring SP2 is arranged around the shaft of the shaft portion 466b, and a screw or the like having a head larger than the inner diameter of the shaft hole 467b is fastened to the shaft portion 466b. Axle. As a result, the ball receiving portion 467 is arranged in the rack 466 in a state of being urged around the right side in the front view. A detailed description of the aspect of the ball receiving portion 467 will be described later.

The leg portion 467a is a protrusion that urges the ball receiving portion 467 to be rotated by the urging spring SP2, and the tip of the leg portion 467a is a front surface described later with the U-shaped open portion of the ball receiving portion 467 facing upward. It is set at a position where it abuts on the bottom wall portion 481b of the case 481. Thereby, it is possible to regulate the rotation of the ball receiving portion 467.

The case member 480 is a member that covers the front and rear of the base member 470, and mainly includes a front case 481 arranged on the front side of the base member 470 and a back case 482 arranged on the back side.

The front case 481 is formed in the shape of a horizontally long rectangular plate in the front view, and has an opening 481a extending in the left-right direction at a position substantially intermediate in the direction of gravity, a bottom wall portion 481b formed so as to project from the lower end surface on the back side, and a lower edge portion. It is mainly provided with a shaft hole 481c penetrating in the front-rear direction.

The opening 481a is formed to penetrate in the front-rear direction, and as described above, when the front case 481 is arranged on the base member 470, the sliding plate 466c of the rack is inserted inside.

The bottom wall portion 481b is formed so as to project from the lower end portion of the front case 481 to the back surface side, and extends in the left-right direction. Further, in the bottom wall portion 481b, when the front case 481 is arranged on the base member 470, the leg portion 467a of the ball receiving portion 467 is in contact with the upper surface thereof.

The back case 482 is a plate member for arranging the control board 491 on the back side of the base member 470, and the outer shape in the front view is formed in a rectangular horizontally long shape smaller than the outer shape of the base member 470. Further, the back case 482 includes a protrusion 482a protruding toward the back side.

As described above, the protrusion 482a is a connecting portion connected to the through hole 432b of the second link member 432, and is formed in a columnar shape having an outer diameter smaller than the inner diameter of the through hole 432b. Therefore, after inserting the protrusion 482a into the through hole 432b, the back case 482 and the second link member 432 can be rotated by fastening a screw or the like whose head is larger than the inner diameter of the through hole 432b to the tip of the protrusion 482a. Can be connected in the same state.

The decorative member 450 is formed in an outer shape that imitates a pattern or character, and a picture of the pattern or character is drawn on the surface. The decorative member 450 is mainly provided with a front side decorative portion 451 arranged on the front side of the front case 481 and a back side decorative portion 452 arranged on the back side of the back case 482. In this embodiment, a shark pattern (character) is drawn on the decorative member 450.

The front side decorative portion 451 is formed to have an outer diameter larger than the outer diameter of the front case 481 in the front view, and is attached to the front case 481. As a result, the members (case member 480, base member 470, etc.) arranged on the back side of the front side decorative portion can be made invisible to the player.

The back side decorative portion 452 is arranged behind the upper end of the front side decorative portion 451. As a result, the member arranged on the back side of the front side decoration part 451 from above the back side decoration part 452 can be made invisible to the player.

Further, the displacement member 492 is arranged on the same plane as the front decorative portion 451 in the front-rear direction. The displacement member 492 is formed mainly including a shaft portion 492a projecting to the back surface side and a protrusion 492b.

The shaft portion 492a is formed in a columnar shape having an outer diameter smaller than the inner diameter of the shaft hole 481c of the front case 481. Therefore, by inserting the shaft portion 492a into the shaft hole 481c, the displacement member 492 can be connected to the front case in a rotatable state. Further, an urging spring SP3 is arranged on the tip end side of the shaft portion 492a into which the shaft hole 481c is inserted. As a result, the displacement member 492 can be arranged in an urged state. A detailed description of the displacement of the displacement member 492 will be described later.

The shaft portion 492a can transmit a driving force that rotates about the axis of the shaft portion 492a to the displacement member 492 by colliding with the collision portion 464f of the movable rack 464 described above. That is, the movable rack 464 can rotationally displace the displacement member 492 according to the displacement.

Therefore, the lower displacement member 440 includes a displacement member 492 (arrangement member) displaceable on the lower displacement member 440 (base member), and the ball receiving portion 467 (displacement member) can hold the game ball. In addition, the displacement member 492 is formed so as to be ejectable, and the displacement member 492 can be displaced when the game ball is ejected from the ball receiving portion 467, so that the occurrence of rattling of the lower displacement member 440 can be suppressed.

That is, when the game ball is launched from the ball receiving portion 467, the position of the center of gravity of the lower displacement member 440 is changed by the weight of the game ball, for example, the change in the position of the center of gravity due to the launch of the game ball is offset. When a configuration is adopted in which the displacement member 492 is displaced in the direction in which the displacement member 492 is displaced, it is possible to suppress the occurrence of rattling of the lower displacement member 440 due to a change in the position of the center of gravity. Further, when the game ball is launched from the ball receiving portion 467, the lower displacement member 440 receives a reaction with the launch of the game ball, for example, the displacement member 492 is offset in a direction canceling the reaction with the launch of the game ball. When a displaceable configuration is adopted, it is possible to suppress the occurrence of rattling of the lower displacement member 440 due to the reaction.

Further, as described above, when the cam member 422 is arranged at the position in the second displacement state, the force PW1 in the direction in which the cam member 422 rotates around the axis of the shaft portion 422a (see FIG. 56B). And the force PW2 (see FIG. 56B) in the direction in which the cam member 422 rotates about the axis of the shaft portion 422a acts in the direction of canceling each other, and the cam member 422 is acted on from the first link member 431. Rotation by force can be suppressed. Therefore, in the second displacement state, the cam member 422 and the link member 430 can be arranged in a stable state. Therefore, when the game ball is launched from the ball receiving portion 467 of the lower displacement member 440 at the position of the second displacement state, the first link member 431 or the cam member 422 swings due to the inertial force generated by the launch of the game ball. Can be suppressed.

Further, since the displacement member 492 is displaced by the collision portion 464f colliding with the shaft portion 492a due to the displacement of the ball receiving portion 467, it is not necessary to separately provide a driving means for displacementing the displacement member 492. .. That is, the drive motor KM2 for displacing the ball receiving portion 467 can also be used as a driving means for displacing the displacement member 492. Therefore, the weight of the lower displacement member 440 can be reduced by that amount, and the rattling can be easily suppressed.

Further, since the displacement member 492 can be displaced mechanically in synchronization with the displacement of the ball receiving portion 467, for example, the position of the ball receiving portion 467 is detected by the sensor device, and the displacement member 492 is detected according to the detection result. It is possible to eliminate the need for control of driving the displacement member 492 with the driving means, thereby reducing the product cost and ensuring the reliability of the displacement operation of the displacement member 492 with respect to the ball receiving portion 467.

Next, the transition of the transmission mechanism 460 will be described with reference to FIGS. 61 to 64. FIG. 61 is a front view of the lower displacement member 440 in the first position, FIG. 62 is a front view of the lower displacement member 440 in the second position, and FIG. 63 is a front view of the lower displacement member 440 in the third position. It is a figure. 64 (a) to 64 (c) are partially enlarged views of the lower displacement member 440.

The first position is a position where the ball receiving portion 467 is arranged at a substantially central position in the left-right direction (left-right direction in FIG. 61) with respect to the base member 470. The second position is the position where the ball receiving portion 467 is arranged on the lower side (lower side in FIG. 62) of the projecting wall 477 in the direction of gravity. The third position is the position where the ball receiving portion 467 is arranged at the right end in the left-right direction of the base member 470.

Further, in FIGS. 61 to 64, the decorative member 450 of the lower displacement member 440 and the front case 481 are transparently viewed, and the outer shape of the bottom wall portion 481b of the front case 481 is shown by a chain line. Further, in FIGS. 64A and 64B, the transition state immediately before the displacement to the third position is shown in order, and in FIG. 64C, the lower displacement member 440 at the third position is shown.

As shown in FIG. 61, the lower displacement member 440 at the first position is in a state where the movable rack 464 is located at the left end in the left-right direction with respect to the base member 470. Further, in the first position, the rack 466 is arranged in front of the movable rack 464, and the rack 466 and the movable rack 464 are overlapped in the front-rear direction. That is, the rack 466 is also positioned at the left end in the left-right direction with respect to the base member 470, like the movable rack 464. Therefore, the ball receiving portion 467 connected to the rack 466 is arranged at a substantially central position in the left-right direction with respect to the base member 470.

At the first position, as described above, the movable rack 464 and the rack 466 are gathered at the left end of the base member 470 in the left-right direction. Here, since the lower displacement member 440 is rotationally displaced while being slidably displaced (displaced from the retracted state to the first and second overhanging states), the position of the center of gravity of the lower displacement member 440 is arranged near the rotating axis. It is desirable to keep it in the specified state.

According to the present embodiment, the transmission mechanism 460 that displaces the ball receiving portion 467 is in a state in which the movable rack 464 and the rack 466 are superposed on the front and rear (two-stage rack). It can be brought closer to the grooves 411a and 411b (the rotation axis side of the lower displacement member 440).

Therefore, as described above, when the lower displacement member 440 is displaced from the retracted position to the first and second overhanging positions, the lower displacement member 440 is set to the first position, so that the lower displacement member 440 is set. The driving force for rotational displacement can be reduced. Therefore, the energy consumption of the drive motor KM1 that displaces the lower displacement member 440 can be suppressed.

The displacement from the first position shown in FIG. 61 to the second position shown in FIG. 62 is performed by driving the drive motor KM2.

When the drive motor KM2 is driven from the first position, the transmission gear 461 connected to the shaft of the drive motor KM2 is rotated. As a result, the transmission gear 462 and the transmission gear 463 are rotated. When the transmission gear 463 is rotated, a driving force is transmitted from the rack gear 464a that meshes with the transmission gear 463 to the movable rack 464, and the movable rack 464 is slid and displaced to the right with respect to the base member 470.

When the movable rack 464 is slide-displaced, the transmission gear 465 arranged in the movable rack 464 is rotated by the rack gear 476 of the base member 470 in accordance with the slide displacement. As a result, the driving force is transmitted to the rack 466 by the rack gear 466a meshed with the transmission gear 465. As a result, the rack 466 is slid and displaced to the right in the left-right direction with respect to the movable rack 464, and the ball receiving portion 467 is displaced to the second position.

The displacement from the second position shown in FIG. 62 to the third position shown in FIG. 63 is performed by driving the drive motor KM2 in the same manner as the displacement from the first position to the second position. Since the transmission of the drive from the drive motor KM2 to the rack 466 is the same as the displacement from the first position to the second position, detailed description thereof will be omitted.

As shown in FIGS. 63 and 64, when the ball receiving portion 467 is displaced to the third position, the ball receiving portion 467 is released from the contact state between the leg portion 467a and the bottom wall portion 481b of the front case 481. , The urging force of the urging spring SP2 arranged on the shaft portion 466b causes rotational displacement around the shaft of the shaft hole 467b.

More specifically, in the first and second positions (the state in which the ball receiving portion 467 is arranged on the left side of the ball receiving portion 467 in the front view from the ball receiving portion 467 in the third position), the tip of the leg portion 467a of the ball receiving portion 467 is in front. It is in a state of being in contact with the upper surface of the bottom wall portion 481b of the case 481, and the rotation clockwise in the front view is restricted around the shaft hole 467b due to the urging force of the urging spring SP2.

On the other hand, when the tip of the leg portion 467a of the ball receiving portion 467 is displaced to the third position, the tip portion is arranged on the right side of the front view from the end portion of the bottom wall portion 481b, and the bottom wall portion 481b and the base member 470 stand. It is arranged inside the recess 481b1 formed between the wall and the wall 471a. Therefore, the ball receiving portion 467 is rotated about the axis of the shaft hole 467b by the urging force of the urging spring SP2. When the ball receiving portion 467 is rotated at the third position, the tip of the leg portion 467a comes into contact with the end surface of the bottom wall portion 481b, and the rotation of the ball receiving portion 467 around the shaft hole 467b is restricted. As a result, the ball receiving portion 467 is stopped at a position rotated by approximately 40 degrees around the shaft hole 467b. In the following, the rotational displacement of the ball receiving portion 467 at the third position will be referred to as a firing operation.

Further, the ball receiving portion 467 includes a recess 481b1 recessed in the track region when the ball receiving portion 467 is displaced from the first position to the third position direction (first direction), and the ball receiving portion 467 is displaced in the first direction. In addition to providing a leg portion 467a that is engaged with the recess 481b1, the posture can be changed by engaging the leg portion 467a with the recess 481b1, so that the posture of the ball receiving portion 467 can be changed. The structure can be simplified.

Further, when the ball receiving portion 467 is displaced from the second position to the third position, the collision portion 464f is slidly displaced to the right side in the front view due to the displacement of the movable rack 464 and collides with the protrusion 492b of the displacement member 492. As a result, the displacement member 492 is rotationally displaced about the axis of the shaft portion 492a.

That is, when the ball receiving portion 467 is displaced to the third position, the ball receiving portion 467 is rotationally displaced and the displacement member 492 is rotationally displaced. Therefore, the ball receiving portion 467 launches and the ball is discharged from the inside of the ball receiving portion 467, and the lower displacement member 440 becomes lighter, so that the lower displacement member 440 swings and the displacement member 492 is rotationally displaced. It is possible to act in the opposite direction to the inertial force. As a result, it is possible to suppress the lower displacement member 440 from swinging when the sphere is discharged from the inside of the lower displacement member 440.

Next, the operation of receiving the ball into the ball receiving portion 467 will be described with reference to FIG. 65. 65 (a) to 65 (c) are front views of the lower displacement member 440. It should be noted that in FIGS. 65 (a) to 65 (c), the transition states in which the ball is received by the ball receiving unit 467 are shown in order.

Further, in FIGS. 65A to 65C, the decorative member 450 of the lower displacement member 440 and the front case 481 are transparently viewed, and the outer shape of the bottom wall portion 481b of the front case 481 is shown by a chain line.

Further, in FIGS. 65 (a) to 65 (c), the horizontal direction of the lower displacement member 440 in the retracted state is illustrated by a two-dot chain line with the reference numeral H1, and the lower displacement member 440 is the first stretched line. The horizontal direction in the displacement state is illustrated with the reference numeral of the virtual line H2. Further, the angle at which the lower displacement member 440 is rotated from the position in the retracted state to the position in the first overhanging state is shown with a reference numeral of angle θ. The virtual line H1, the virtual line H2, and the angle θ are also shown in the figures after FIG. 65.

As shown in FIG. 65 (a), in the lower displacement unit 400 in the retracted state (the state in which the longitudinal direction of the lower displacement member 440 is parallel to the virtual line H1), the ball receiving portion 467 of the lower displacement member 440 is positioned at the first position. The game ball T1 is thrown from the distribution unit 500, which will be described later, to the opening 451a formed in the front side decorative portion 451 of the lower displacement member 440. The game ball T1 thrown into the opening 451a is thrown inside the projecting wall 477 and is thrown inside the lower displacement member 440.

As shown in FIG. 65 (b), when the game ball T1 is thrown into the opening 451a, the lower displacement member 440 is displaced to the second position. Therefore, as described above, in the second position, the ball receiving portion 467 is arranged below the protruding wall 477, so that the game ball T1 thrown inside the protruding wall 477 is placed inside the ball receiving portion 467. You can throw a ball. By accepting the game ball T1 in the ball receiving portion 467, the game ball T1 can be displaced according to the operation of the ball receiving portion 467.

As shown in FIG. 65 (c), when the game ball T1 is thrown to the ball receiving portion, the lower displacement member 440 is displaced to the first position. As a result, the ball receiving portion 467 can be arranged at the first position while the game ball T1 is arranged on the ball receiving portion 467.

Here, a game machine including a base member, a base member displaceable on one side of the base member, and a displacement member displaceable on the base member is known. According to this game machine, in addition to the effect of being displaced between the overhanging position where the base member is projected to the game area and made visible to the player and the evacuation position where the base member is retracted from the game area, the base member is It is possible to perform an effect of displacement of the displacement member in the state of being arranged at the overhanging position.

However, in the above-mentioned conventional game machine, one side of the base member is displaceably arranged on the base member. Therefore, when the displacement member is displaced, the base member rattles with respect to the base member with one side as a dead center. There was a problem that sticking was likely to occur. In particular, when the displacement member is displaced from the stopped state, the change in acceleration is maximized, so that the base member tends to rattle due to the influence of inertial force.

On the other hand, in the present embodiment, the ball receiving portion 467 starts the displacement from the second position and the displacement is performed from the first position closer to one side of the lower displacement member 440 (base member) than the first position. It is formed so that the starting mode can be formed, and at least the lower displacement member 440 is arranged at a predetermined position with respect to the base member 410 (for example, the lower displacement member 440 projects into the game area and is visible to the player. In the first overhanging state), the displacement is started from the first position, so that the rattling of the lower displacement member 440 of the base member can be suppressed. That is, since the first position is closer to one side of the lower displacement member than the second position, by setting such a first position as the displacement start position of the ball receiving portion 467, the ball receiving portion 467 The weight can be kept close to the dead point when the lower displacement member 440 rattles with respect to the base member 410, and the influence of the inertial force when the ball receiving portion 467 is displaced from the stopped state is reduced by that amount. It can be difficult to act on the displacement member 440. As a result, rattling of the lower displacement member 440 can be easily suppressed.

Further, as described above, the lower displacement member 440 is rotationally displaced (displaced from the retracted state to the first and second overhanging states) while being slidably displaced. Therefore, if the lower displacement member 440 is rotationally displaced while the game ball T1 is arranged far away from the rotation axis, centrifugal force is likely to be generated in the game ball T1, and the game ball T1 moves to move the inner wall of the ball receiving portion 467. There is a problem that a collision sound is generated due to the collision between the ball and the game ball T1, or the ball receiving portion 467 is damaged.

On the other hand, in the present embodiment, after the game ball T1 is received by the ball receiving portion 467, the lower displacement member 440 can be displaced to the first position, so that the game ball T1 can be displaced on the rotation axis of the lower displacement member 440. It can be placed (approached) in the vicinity. Therefore, when the lower displacement member 440 is rotationally displaced (displaced from the retracted state to the first and second overhanging states) while the game ball T1 is received by the lower displacement member 440, centrifugal force is applied to the game ball T1. It can be suppressed from occurring. As a result, it is possible to prevent a collision sound from being generated when the game ball T1 and the ball receiving portion 467 collide with each other, or to prevent the ball receiving portion 467 from being damaged.

Further, in the present embodiment, in the lower displacement member 440, the transmission mechanism 460 for operating the ball receiving portion 467 is formed by the movable rack 464, the transmission gear 465 (pinion gear) and the rack 466 (rack member), and the ball receiving is received by the rack 466. Since the portion 467 is arranged, when the displacement of the ball receiving portion 467 is started from the first position, not only the weight of the rack 466 but also the weights of the movable rack 464 and the rack 466 are on one side of the lower displacement member 440. It can be kept close to (a fulcrum when the lower displacement member 440 rattles with respect to the base member 410). As a result, rattling of the lower displacement member 440 when the ball receiving portion 467 is displaced from the stopped state can be easily suppressed.

Further, in the state where the game ball T1 is received by the ball receiving portion 467, the load of the lower displacement member 440 is increased by the load of the game ball T1. Therefore, as described above, by setting the lower displacement member 440 to the first position, the position of the center of gravity of the lower displacement member 440 is set to the sliding groove 411a, 411b side of the front base 411 (the rotation axis of the lower displacement member 440). It can be easily moved to the side). Therefore, when the lower displacement member 440 is displaced from the retracted position to the first and second overhanging positions, the lower displacement member 440 is set to the first position, so that the lower displacement member 440 is rotationally displaced. The driving force can be reduced. Therefore, the energy consumption of the drive motor KM1 that displaces the lower displacement member 440 can be suppressed.

Next, the payout operation of the ball will be described with reference to FIG. 66. 66 (a) to (c) are front views of the lower displacement member 440. In addition, in FIGS. 66A to 66C, the transition state of the lower displacement member 440 in the payout operation of the sphere is shown in order. Further, in FIGS. 66A to 66C, the decorative member 450 of the lower displacement member 440 and the front case 481 are transparently viewed, and the outer shape of the bottom wall portion 481b of the front case 481 is shown by a chain line. Further, the ball payout operation is an operation of paying out the game ball T1 received by the ball receiving portion 467 of the lower displacement member 440 from the exit opening 471 to the outside of the lower displacement member 440.

As shown in FIGS. 66A to 66C, the payout operation of paying out the ball received by the ball receiving portion 467 of the lower displacement member 440 displaces the lower displacement member 440 from the first position to the third position in order. It is done by.

That is, the game ball T1 is received inside the ball receiving portion 467 in the receiving operation, and the lower displacement member 440 arranged at the first position is displaced to the third position, so that the game ball T1 is placed on the ball receiving portion 467. With the displacement, it is transported to the exit opening 471 side. The game ball T1 moved to the exit opening 471 side is given an inertial force to the exit opening 471 side by the slide displacement of the ball receiving portion 467 and the firing operation of the ball receiving portion 467 at the third position, and the ball receiving portion 471 is subjected to inertial force. It pops out from the inside of the part 467. As a result, the sphere can be discharged from the inside of the lower displacement member 440.

Here, since the displacement direction when the ball receiving portion 467 (displacement member) starts the displacement from the first position is the direction away from the position side of the lower displacement member 440, the ball receiving portion 467 is set to the first position. In the arranged state, the rack 466 (rack member) can be brought closer to the base member 410 from one side of the lower displacement member 440. That is, in order for the ball receiving portion 467 (rack 466) to be displaced in the direction away from one side of the lower displacement member 440, the rack 466 is subjected to the transmission gear 465 (the transmission gear 465) after the displacement of the ball receiving portion 467 is started. The portion on the rack gear 466a side to which the pinion gear) is meshed is directed to one side of the lower displacement member 440. Therefore, the weight of the rack 466 can be brought closer to one side of the lower displacement member 440 (the fulcrum when the lower displacement member 440 rattles with respect to the base member 410), and as a result, the ball receiving portion 467 can be moved closer. It is possible to easily suppress the rattling of the lower displacement member 440 when it is displaced from the stopped state.

The ball receiving portion 467 is displaced in the third position direction (first direction), and when the third position is reached, the posture is changed so that the ball receiving portion 467 receives one game ball T1 up to the third position. It is possible to easily maintain the state held by the portion 467 and prevent the game ball T1 from falling off from the ball receiving portion 467, while when the second position is reached, the change in the posture of the ball receiving portion 467 is used. Therefore, the game ball T1 can be easily discharged from the inside of the ball receiving portion 467.

The ball receiving portion 467 shown in FIGS. 66 (a) to 66 (c) is paid out at the position where the lower displacement member 440 is retracted (the longitudinal direction of the lower displacement member 440 is arranged horizontally with the virtual line H1). When performing the operation, the game ball paid out to the outside of the lower displacement member 440 is thrown into the inside of the collection port 411f.

On the other hand, when the lower displacement member 440 performs the payout operation of the ball receiving portion 467 at the position in the first overhanging state (the state in which the longitudinal direction of the lower displacement member 440 is rotated by an angle θ from the virtual line H1), the lower displacement member 440 The game ball paid out to the outside of the 440 is thrown to the upper part of the ball cradle 710 of the rotating unit 700.

Next, with reference to FIGS. 67 and 68, the discharge operation when two or more balls are thrown inside the lower displacement member 440 will be described. 67 (a) to (c) and 68 (a) to (c) are front views of the lower displacement member 440.

In addition, in FIGS. 43A to 43C and 44A to 44C, the transition states of the discharge operation are shown in order. Further, in FIGS. 43 (a) to (c) and FIGS. 44 (a) to (c), the decorative member 450 and the front case 481 of the lower displacement member 440 are transparently viewed, and the bottom wall portion 481b of the front case 481 is seen transparently. The outer shape of is illustrated by a two-dot chain line.

As shown in FIGS. 67 (a) to 67 (c), when two or more balls are continuously thrown from the distribution unit 500 described later, the lower displacement member 440 is operated to receive the second ball. The game ball T2 can be dropped on the displacement path of the ball receiving portion 467.

That is, the ball receiving portion 467 can be displaced from the first position to the second position, and the first game ball T1 can be thrown inside the ball receiving portion 467, and the second game ball T2 can be the first ball. It can be brought into contact with the game ball T1 of No. 1 and fastened inside the protrusion wall 477 (see FIG. 67 (b)). By displacing the ball receiving portion 467 to the first position after receiving the first game ball T1 at the second position, the ball receiving portion 467 receives the first game ball T1 in the ball receiving portion 467. The 467 can be displaced to the first position, and the second game ball T2 can be dropped on the displacement path of the ball receiving portion 467.

Here, in a game machine that displaces the ball received by the ball receiving portion 467 at the second position to the third position due to the displacement of the ball receiving portion 467, if a malfunction occurs in the displacement of the distribution member 540 of the distribution unit 500, which will be described later. There is a possibility that a specified number or more of game balls are thrown into the orbital region of the ball receiving portion 467, and in this case, there is a problem that a problem may occur due to the amount of game balls exceeding the specified number. For example, a game ball exceeding a specified number may enter the transmission mechanism 460 that drives the ball receiving portion 467 and be bitten into a movable portion, resulting in damage. Alternatively, there is a risk that the number of game balls exceeding the specified number may flow out of the game area (for example, the back side of the game board 13 or the inside of the back case 300).

On the other hand, according to the present embodiment, the ball receiving portion 467 is formed so as to be displaceable from the second position to the first position opposite to the throwing direction of the ball. The orbital region can be expanded. Therefore, for example, even if a malfunction occurs in the distribution member 540 and a specified number or more of game balls are thrown, the orbital region of the ball receiving portion 467 is expanded, and the number of game balls exceeding the specified number is increased. Can be accepted in the orbital region. As a result, the number of game balls exceeding the specified number can be moved with the displacement of the ball receiving portion 467 to the third position. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the game balls exceeding the specified number from entering the transmission mechanism 460 that drives the ball receiving unit 467 and flowing out of the game area, and as a result, the game balls exceeding the specified number. It is possible to prevent problems caused by the ball.

Further, the ball receiving unit 467 can receive and hold one game ball T1 thrown from the distribution unit 500 described later at the second position, and can hold the ball in the direction from the second position to the first position (second direction). ) Is formed so as to be displaceable by a distance exceeding the diameter of the game ball. Therefore, after receiving one game ball at the second position, the ball receiving portion 467 is moved from the second position to the third direction (first direction). ), The number of game balls exceeding the specified number can be thrown to the orbital region of the ball receiving portion 467 (the region in the first direction from 467 of the ball receiving portion). Therefore, the second and subsequent game balls T2 can be moved with the displacement of the ball receiving portion 467 in the third position direction (first direction).

In this case, since the ball receiving portion 467 holds the first game ball T1 and the second and subsequent game balls T2 can be sent to the orbital region of the ball receiving portion 467, the first game balls T1 and 2 It is possible to separate the game ball T2 after the ball. Therefore, for example, by displacing the ball receiving portion 467 in the third position direction (first direction), the game of the second and subsequent balls while maintaining the state in which the ball receiving member holds the first game ball T1. The operation of discharging only the sphere T2 from the orbital region becomes possible.

Further, in the case where the ball receiving portion 467 is displaced to the second position to receive the first ball and then the ball receiving portion 467 is displaced to the third position to discharge the game ball T1 from the inside of the ball receiving portion 467, the second ball is used. The game ball T2 falls on the upper part of the rack 466, the second game ball T2 is thrown between the ball receiving portion 467 and the transmission gear 465, and the second game ball T2 is displaced downward by the downward displacement member 440. There is a risk that it will not be able to be discharged to the outside.

On the other hand, in the present embodiment, the receiving operation of accepting the ball in the ball receiving portion 467 is performed, and after receiving the game ball T1 inside the ball receiving portion 467 at the second position, the first position opposite to the exit opening 471 is performed. Since it can be displaced to, it is possible to prevent the second game ball T2 from being unable to be discharged to the outside of the lower displacement member 440.

In other words, in a game machine provided with an accessory that ejects a game ball thrown into the accessory, a position that accepts the ball by the operation of a member that ejects the ball (ball receiving portion 467 in the present embodiment). If only the (second position) and the position where the ball is ejected (third position) are displaced, when two or more game balls are thrown into the accessory, the ball is ejected to the member that ejects the ball. Where there is a risk of discharging the second game ball T2 on the side opposite to the exit (exit opening 471), in the present embodiment, after receiving the first game ball T1, the ball receiving portion 467 is ejected from the exit opening 471. By displacing it to the first position on the opposite side of the ball, the second game ball T2 can be thrown between the ball receiving portion 467 and the exit opening 471.

As shown in FIGS. 68 (a) to 68 (c), after the second game ball T2 is thrown on the displacement path of the ball receiving portion 467, the ball receiving portion 467 is displaced to the third position before the firing operation. By doing so, the second game ball T2 can be rolled to the exit opening 471 side in a state of being in contact with the ball receiving portion 467. As a result, the second game ball T2 can be discharged from the exit opening 471.

In this case, the ball receiving portion 467 is above the center position of the second game ball T2 in which the lower end surface of the U-shaped portion is thrown on the displacement path of the ball receiving portion 467 (above FIG. 68 (a)). Is placed in. Further, in a state where the leg portion 467a is in contact with the upper surface of the bottom wall portion 481b, the legs are arranged in a state of being tilted by approximately 45 degrees with respect to the contact surface with the bottom wall portion 481b. Further, since the side surface of the U-shape (right side of FIG. 68 (a)) of the ball receiving portion 467 is arranged at the same position in the vertical direction as the right end portion of the leg portion 467a, the second game ball. The outer surface of T2 can be brought into contact with the leg portion 467a.

Further, since the leg portion 467a is in a state of being tilted by approximately 45 degrees with respect to the upper surface of the bottom wall portion 481b, the leg portion 467a and the outer surface of the lower hemisphere (lower hemisphere on the bottom wall portion 481b side) of the second game ball T2 Be abutted. As a result, when the second game ball T2 is rolled toward the exit opening 471, a force for lifting the second game ball T2 upward can be generated on the inclined surface of the leg portion 467a. Therefore, the frictional force between the second game ball T2 and the bottom wall portion 481b when the second game ball T2 rolls on the upper surface of the bottom wall portion 481b can be reduced. As a result, it is possible to prevent the ball receiving portion 467 from being stopped when the second game ball T2 is rolled toward the exit opening 471.

In other words, the leg portion 467a is projected from the ball receiving portion 467 in the direction from the first position to the third position (first direction), and the protruding tip thereof is the trajectory of the ball receiving portion 467. Since the ball receiving portion 467 is formed so as to be in contact with the lower half surface of the game ball (that is, the second and subsequent game balls T2) sent to the region, the ball receiving portion 467 is formed in the direction from the first position to the third position (first direction). When displaced to, the game ball can be moved while pushing its lower half surface with the leg portion 467a. As a result, the second and subsequent game balls T2 can be easily discharged from the orbital region of the ball receiving portion 467.

Further, a leg portion 467a is provided between the first game ball T1 held by the ball receiving portion 467 and the game ball (the second and subsequent game balls T2) sent to the orbital region of the ball receiving portion 467. By interposing, the distance between the first game ball T1 and the second and subsequent game balls T2 can be secured by the protrusion length of the leg portion 467a. Therefore, while maintaining the state in which the ball receiving portion 467 holds the first game ball T1, only the second and subsequent game balls T2 can be easily discharged from the orbital region.

Further, since the leg portion 467a has a role of changing the posture of the ball receiving portion 467 and a role of moving the game ball while pushing the lower half surface thereof by engaging with the recess 481b1, the number of parts is increased accordingly. It can be reduced to reduce the product cost.

Further, since the size of the recess 481b1 in the direction from the first position to the third position (first direction) is smaller than the diameter of the game ball, the game ball sent to the orbital region of the ball receiving portion 467 (that is, that is). When the second and subsequent game balls T2) are moved with the displacement of the ball receiving portion 467 in the first direction, they can easily pass through the recess 481b1. As a result, the second and subsequent game balls T2 can be easily discharged from the orbital region.

As described above, when the lower displacement unit 400 is arranged in the retracted state, the recovery port 411f is arranged below the exit opening 471 of the lower displacement member 440. Therefore, the game ball T2 that has been ejected in the retracted state is sent to the collection port 411f.

On the other hand, when the lower displacement unit 400 is arranged in the first overhanging state, the recovery port 411f is in a state of being located below the exit opening 471. Further, the opening of the collection port 411f is opened on the upper side. Therefore, the ejected game ball T2 is sent to the collection port 411f.

That is, since the collection port 411f is arranged below the end of the base member 470 on the first direction side (standing wall 471a side) in the vertical direction and has an opening in the vertical direction, the ball receiving portion 467 is the first. The game ball (that is, the game ball T2 after the second ball) that is moved along with the movement in the three position directions (first direction) and discharged from the orbital region of the ball receiving portion 467 is received from the opening of the collection port 411f. Can be collected.

Further, the opening of the collection port 411f is vertical at the end of the base member 470 on the first direction side (standing wall 471a side) at least at each position of the retracted state, the first overhanging state, and the second overhanging state. It is arranged downward in the direction. As a result, the game ball (that is, the second ball) is discharged from the orbital region of the ball receiving portion 467 regardless of whether the lower displacement unit 400 is displaced to the retracted position, the first overhanging state, or the second overhanging state. Subsequent game balls T2) can be received and collected from the opening of the collection member.

It should be noted that, in the position where the lower displacement member 440 is retracted (the longitudinal direction of the lower displacement member 440 is arranged horizontally with the virtual line H1), FIGS. 67 (a) to (c) and FIGS. 68 (a) to (c). When the ball receiving portion 467 is discharged, the game ball discharged to the outside of the lower displacement member 440 is thrown into the inside of the collection port 411f. Further, when the ball receiving portion 467 is discharged at the position where the lower displacement member 440 is in the first overhanging state (the state in which the longitudinal direction of the lower displacement member 440 is rotated by an angle θ from the virtual line H1), the lower displacement member 440 is ejected. The game ball paid out to the outside of the 440 is thrown to the collection port 411f as described above.

Next, with reference to FIG. 69, the configuration when the second game ball T2 is discharged from the exit opening 471 will be described. 69 (a) is a partially enlarged view of the lower displacement member 440 in the range LXIXa of FIG. 68 (b), and FIG. 69 (b) is a partially enlarged view of the lower displacement member 440 in the range LXIXb of FIG. 68 (a). It is a figure.

As shown in FIG. 69, when the ball receiving portion 467 is displaced to the third position immediately before the firing operation, the game ball T2 is brought into contact with the side surface of the ball receiving portion 467 on the erection wall 471a side to open the exit. It can be pushed out of the lower displacement member 440 from 471.

In this case, when the leg portion 467a of the ball receiving portion 467 is inserted between the bottom wall portion 481b and the standing wall 471a and the ball receiving portion 467 rotates, the game ball T2 and the ball receiving portion 467 come into contact with each other. By doing so, the rotational force of the ball receiving portion 467 can be transmitted to the game ball T2. As a result, the game ball T2 can be easily discharged from the exit opening 471. Further, the ball receiving portion 467 can be returned to the state before the rotational operation by utilizing the repulsive force when the ball receiving portion 467 is brought into contact with the game ball T2. Therefore, when the game ball T2 thrown into the orbital region of the ball receiving portion 467 is discharged, it is possible to prevent the first game ball T1 held by the ball receiving portion 467 from falling off.

Further, the lower displacement member 440 is erected at a height lower than the radius of the game ball and is recessed in the track region when the ball receiving portion 467 is displaced from the second position to the third position direction (first direction). A standing wall 471a located on the first direction side of 481b1 is provided, and the second and subsequent game balls thrown into the orbital region of the ball receiving portion 467 are displaced in the first direction of the ball receiving portion 467. When it is moved, the game ball T2 is brought into contact with the erection wall 471a and the ball receiving portion 467, and the posture change of the ball receiving portion 467 is regulateably formed. Therefore, the first game ball T1 is moved. While maintaining the state held by the ball receiving portion 467, it is possible to easily discharge only the second and subsequent game balls from the orbital region.

That is, since the height of the erection wall 471a from the upper surface of the bottom wall portion 481b to the erection tip is lower than the radius of the game ball, the ball receiving portion 467 is displaced in the first direction. When the game ball T2 is moved by being pushed by the leg portion, the lower half surface of the game ball T2 is brought into contact with the erection wall 471a, so that the game ball can easily get over the erection wall 471a. In this case, the game ball T2 is brought into contact with the ball receiving portion 467 (that is, the game ball T2 is interposed between the ball receiving portion 467 and the standing wall 471a), and the reaction force is applied from the game ball T2 to the ball receiving portion 467. Therefore, it is possible to regulate the posture change of the ball receiving portion and prevent the first game ball held by the ball receiving portion 467 from falling off. As a result, while maintaining the state in which the ball receiving portion 467 holds the first game ball, only the second and subsequent game balls T2 can be easily discharged from the game area.

On the other hand, when the second and subsequent game balls T2 are not thrown into the orbital region of the ball receiving portion 467, the game ball is not interposed between the standing wall 471a and the ball receiving portion 467, so that the leg By engaging the portion 467a with the recess 481b1, the posture of the ball receiving portion 467 can be changed. As a result, the first game ball T1 (that is, the game ball held by the ball receiving portion 467) can be easily discharged from the ball receiving portion 467 by utilizing the change in the posture of the ball receiving portion 467.

Next, the distribution unit 500 will be described in detail with reference to FIGS. 70 to 72. FIG. 70 (a) is a top view of the sorting unit 500, and FIG. 70 (b) is a rear view of the sorting unit 500. FIG. 71 is an exploded front perspective view of the distribution unit 500, and FIG. 72 is an exploded rear perspective view of the distribution unit 500.

As shown in FIGS. 70 to 72, the distribution unit 500 is provided between a base plate 520 formed in a plate-like body having a substantially rectangular front view and a base plate 520 attached to the front side of the base plate 520 and facing the base plate 520. A path forming member 510 that forms a plurality of flow paths through which a ball can flow down, a distribution member 540 that is rotatably attached to the back side of the base plate 520, and a base plate 520 that is attached to the end surface of the base plate 520. And an extension path member 530 that extends the flow path of the sphere formed between the path forming member 510 and the path forming member 510.

The base plate 520 has a columnar shaft portion 523 projecting to the back side, a first opening 521 formed through an arc shape centered on the shaft of the shaft portion 523, and a radius larger than the first opening 521. A second opening 522 that is formed through a large arc shape, a rolling portion 525 that has a U-shaped cross section that opens on the upper end side and extends in the left-right direction, and a hook-like protrusion on the back side. It is mainly provided with a locking portion 524 to be formed.

The shaft portion 523 is a shaft that is inserted into the shaft hole 545 of the distribution member 540 described later and attaches the distribution member 540 to the base member in a rotatable state, and is formed to have an outer diameter smaller than the inner diameter of the shaft hole 545. Will be done.

The first opening 521 and the second opening 522 are openings through which the regulation plate 541 and the storage plate 542 of the distribution member 540, which will be described later, are inserted, and the opening has a width larger than the thickness of the regulation plate 541 and the storage plate 542. It is formed. Further, since the distribution member 540 is attached to the base plate 520 in a rotatable state, the first opening 521 and the second opening 522 are larger than the dimensions in the circumferential direction of the regulation plate 541 and the storage plate 542 in the front view. The length of the arc is formed large.

The locking portion 524 is an engaging portion that engages the urging spring SP4 with the locking portion 544 formed on the distribution member 540, and one end of the urging spring SP4 is locked.

The rolling portion 525 is a bottom surface on which the sphere rolls, and has a curved shape formed in a U shape while being inclined downward toward one end on the left side (left side in FIG. 70 (b)) when viewed from the rear. It is formed larger than the outer shape of the sphere. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the ball rolling on the rolling portion 525 from stopping at the rolling portion and to roll the ball to one end side.

Further, the rolling portion 525 includes a plurality of protrusions 525b protruding from the front and rear side surfaces toward the inside of the U-shape, and an opening 525a opening at one end on the back side.

The protrusions 525b are formed on the front and rear side surfaces at regular intervals, and the protrusions 525b formed on the front side and the protrusions 525b formed on the back side are formed at positions where they are staggered in front view. Therefore, since the ball rolling on the rolling portion 525 can collide with the protrusion 525b, the rolling speed of the ball rolling on the rolling portion 525 can be slowed down.

Here, as described above, the ball is thrown to the ball receiving portion 467 of the lower displacement unit 400 in a state where the ball receiving portion 467 is arranged at the first position (FIGS. 65 (a) and 65 (b)). )reference). Therefore, when the throwing speed of the game ball rolling on the rolling portion 525 of the third throwing path KR3 is increased, the game ball is thrown into the lower displacement member 440 before moving the ball receiving portion 467 to the second position. There is a risk of being

On the other hand, in the present embodiment, a plurality of protrusions 525b are formed so as to project from the inner surface of the rolling portion 525 of the third throwing path KR3, and the gaming ball passes through the rolling portion 525 of the third throwing path KR3. Since resistance can be imparted, the speed of the game ball passing through the third throwing path KR3 can be slowed down. Therefore, when the ball receiving portion 467 is displaced from the switching position (first position) to the receiving position (second position), the required time can be lengthened by that amount, so that the game ball can be reliably secured to the ball receiving portion 467. Can be received by. Further, the output of the displacement speed of the drive motor KM2 can be reduced by the amount that the displacement speed required for the ball receiving portion 467 can be slowed down, so that the product cost can be reduced.

The opening 525a is formed so as to be open to the back surface side of one end of the rolling portion 525, and its outer shape in rear view is formed to be larger than the size of a sphere. Therefore, the ball that rolls the rolling portion 525 to one end side is discharged from the opening 525a.

The path forming member 510 is formed in the shape of a rectangular vertically long plate having a width smaller in the left-right direction than the base plate 520, and a plurality of walls larger than the outer diameter of the game ball are formed on the back side thereof. By forming the space between the two facing each other larger than the outer diameter of the sphere, a flow path of a plurality of spheres is formed inside the sphere.

The path forming member 510 includes a first throwing path 511 that opens on the upper end surface, a first throwing path KR1 that is formed between the side walls of the first opening 511, and a second throwing path that is connected to the first throwing path KR1. KR2 and the third throwing path KR3, and the second opening 512 and the third opening 513 opening on the side surface of the path forming member 510 at the ends of the second throwing path KR2 and the third throwing path KR3 are formed through in the front-rear direction. On the side surface of the path forming member 510 at the end of the fourth throwing path KR4 formed by the plurality of openings 514,515,516 and the wall on the back side of the openings 514,515,516, and the fourth throwing path KR4. It is mainly provided with a fourth opening 517 to be opened.

The first opening 511 is an opening for allowing a ball thrown from the ball throwing unit 600, which will be described later, to flow into the inside of the sorting unit, and is formed on the side surface of the upper end of the path forming member 510, and its outer shape is larger than that of the ball. It is formed large. Further, the first opening 511 is connected to the ball throwing unit 600 so that the ball thrown from the ball throwing unit 600 can flow in.

The first throwing path KR1 is a path for flowing a ball flowing in from the first opening 511 between the base plate 520 and the path forming member 510, and is formed by extending downward. Further, the fourth throwing path KR4 is formed so as to extend to about one-third of the path forming member 510 in the vertical direction, and the downstream end is connected to the second throwing path KR2 and the third throwing path KR3. Will be done. That is, a ball flowing down the first throwing path KR1 is formed so as to flow down the second throwing path KR2 or the third throwing path KR3.

As described above, the second throwing path KR2 is a path formed by being connected to the first throwing path KR1, and the downstream end is connected to the second opening 512. That is, when a ball that flows down from the first opening 511 and flows down the first throwing path KR1 flows down to the second throwing path KR2, it is discharged from the second opening 512 to the outside of the distribution unit 500.

The second opening 512 is connected to a recovery path (not shown) for collecting the sphere. Therefore, the ball discharged from the second opening is collected by the collection route. Further, a sensor device SE2 for detecting the passage of a game ball is arranged inside the second opening 512 (downstream end of the second throwing path KR2). Therefore, the sensor device SE1 detects the number of game balls passing through the third winning opening 82, and the sensor device SE2 detects the number of game balls passing through the second throwing path KR2. The number of game balls passing through the path KR3 can be detected.

That is, it is possible to detect whether or not a predetermined number of game balls (1 ball) are stored upstream of the regulation plate 541, which will be described later, by the difference between the sensor device SE1 and the sensor device SE1. For example, when the third electric accessory 82a is opened once, the number of balls passing through the third winning opening 82 (sensor device SE1) is eight, and the balls passing through the second throwing path KR2 (sensor device SE2). When the number is 7, it can be detected that one game ball is flowing (stored) in the third throwing path KR3.

As described above, the third throwing path KR3 is a path formed by being connected to the first throwing path KR1, and the downstream end is connected to the third opening 513. That is, when a ball that flows down from the first opening 511 and flows down the first throwing path KR1 flows down to the third throwing path KR3, it is discharged from the third opening 513.

The third opening 513 is formed above the other end side (opposite end side of the opening 525a) of the rolling portion 525 of the base plate 520. Therefore, the ball discharged from the third opening 513 is thrown inside the rolling portion 525. That is, the ball thrown into the third throwing path KR3 is thrown to the rolling portion 525 through the third opening 513.

The openings 514 to 516 are formed on the back side of the third winning opening 82 formed in the game board 13, respectively, and the balls that have won the third winning opening 82 are thrown. That is, when a ball flowing down the game area on the front side of the game board 13 wins the third winning opening 82, the ball is thrown into the distribution unit 500 from the openings 514 to 516.

The fourth throwing path KR4 is formed by being connected to the openings 514 to 516, is connected to one path on the downstream side, and is connected to the fourth opening formed on the lower end surface of the path forming member 510. The fourth opening is connected to a recovery path (not shown) for collecting the sphere. Therefore, the ball that has won the third winning opening 82 of the game board 13 is thrown into the fourth throwing path KR4 of the distribution unit 500, and then discharged from the fourth opening 517 and collected.

The extension path member 530 is formed in a U-shaped cross section with the lower side open, and is extended in the left-right direction. Further, the extension path member 530 is formed so that the inner diameter of the U-shape is larger than the outer diameter of the sphere. Therefore, by disposing it on the upper part of the rolling portion 525 of the base plate 520, the ball thrown to the upper part of the rolling portion 525 can be thrown inside the rolling portion 525 and the extension path member 530. , It is possible to prevent the ball rolling on the rolling portion from falling from the rolling portion 525.

Further, the extension path member 530 is formed with protrusions 531 formed at regular intervals at the same positions in the left-right direction as the protrusions 525b formed on the rolling portion 525. As a result, the rolling speed of the sphere that rolls on the rolling portion 525 can be slowed down as in the case of the protrusion 525b.

The distribution member 540 is formed in a rectangular shape in a front view in which one is long, and has a predetermined thickness in the front-rear direction. The distribution member 540 includes a regulation plate 541 and a storage plate 542 protruding from the front side in a plate shape, a shaft hole 545 formed through the upper one end side, and a hook-shaped locking portion 544 formed on the back side. It is formed mainly with and.

As described above, the shaft hole 545 is a through hole into which the shaft portion 523 of the base plate 520 is inserted, and is formed so as to penetrate in the front-rear direction. The distribution member 540 can rotate to the base plate 520 by inserting the shaft portion 523 of the base plate 520 into the shaft hole 545 and fastening a screw or the like having a head larger than the shaft hole to the shaft portion 523 from the back side. It is attached in a good condition.

The regulation plate 541 is arranged at a connecting portion between the first throwing path KR1 and the second throwing path KR2 via the first opening 521, and a ball flowing down the first throwing path KR1 flows into the second throwing path KR2. The plate member is formed so as to project toward the front side of the shaft hole 545 on the front side, and the protrusion distance from the base plate 520 to the front side is set to be larger than the radius of the sphere.

Further, the regulation plate 541 is formed by being curved in an arc shape centered on the axis of the shaft hole 545. Thereby, when the distribution member 540 is rotationally displaced about the axis of the shaft hole 545, the displacement region of the regulation plate 541 can be minimized.

The storage plate 542 is a plate member that is arranged on the second throwing path KR2 via the second opening 522 and stores the balls flowing down the second throwing path KR2 on the upstream side of the storage plate 542, and is a plate member of the shaft hole 545. It is formed so as to project to the front side from the end surface on the front side, and the protrusion distance from the base plate 520 to the front side is set to be larger than the radius of the sphere.

Further, the storage plate 542 is formed to be curved in an arc shape centered on the axis of the shaft hole 545, and the radius of the arc is formed to be larger than the radius of the curved portion of the regulation plate 541. Therefore, the storage plate 542 is formed at a position separated from the shaft hole 545 by the regulation plate 541. As a result, the regulation plate 541 can be projected to the connecting portion between the first throwing path KR1 and the second throwing path KR2, and the storage plate 542 can be arranged on the second throwing path KR2. Further, the displacement region when the distribution member 540 is rotationally displaced about the axis of the shaft hole 545 can be minimized.

The protrusion 543 is a drive transmission member that exerts a rotational driving force on the distribution member 540 by colliding with the contact plate 464c of the lower displacement member 440 described above, and projects to the other end side of the distribution member 540. It is formed. That is, a protrusion 543 to which the driving force is transmitted is formed on the side opposite to the one end side on which the shaft hole 545 serving as the rotation axis of the distribution member 540 is formed. As a result, the collision force of the contact plate 464c of the lower displacement member 440 can be reduced.

Therefore, since the driving force of the drive motor KM3 that displaces the contact plate 464c can be reduced, the energy consumption of the drive motor KM3 can be reduced. Further, since the energy when the contact plate 464c collides with the protrusion 543 during driving can be reduced, the collision noise can be reduced when the contact plate 464c and the protrusion 543 collide with each other. The details of the collision between the contact plate 464c and the protrusion 543 will be described later.

Further, a bulging portion 543a that bulges in a circular shape is formed at the contact portion of the protruding portion 543 with the contact plate 464c at the protruding tip. By bringing the contact plate 464c into contact with the bulging portion 543a, the contact area between the contact plate and the distribution member 540 can be reduced. Therefore, when the distribution member 540 is rotationally displaced, the frictional resistance between the protrusion 543 (bulging portion 543a) and the contact plate 464c can be reduced. As a result, it is possible to suppress an increase in energy consumption of the drive motor KM3.

The locking portion 544 is a portion that locks the urging spring SP4 with the locking portion 524 of the base plate 520 as described above. Therefore, since the other end side of the distribution member 540 can always apply a force to rotate to the locking portion 524 side, it is possible to suppress the distribution member 540 from swinging due to vibration of the pachinko machine 10.

Next, with reference to FIG. 73, the flow path of the ball of the distribution unit 500 will be described in detail. FIG. 73 is a cross-sectional view of the distribution unit 500 on the line LXXIII-LXXIII of FIG. 70 (a). In FIG. 73, the distribution member 540 is illustrated by a chain line. Further, in FIG. 73, a state in which the distribution member 540 is arranged at the storage position is shown.

Here, the state in which the distribution member 540 is arranged at the storage position is a state in which the distribution member 540 is rotated by the urging force of the urging spring SP4 and the storage plate 542 is arranged on the second throwing path KR2. ..

As shown in FIG. 73, the lower end side of the flow path of the first throwing path KR1 is tilted toward the central portion of the base plate 520 in the left-right direction (horizontal direction of FIG. 73), and the tilted portion is gentle. It is formed by being curved in an S shape. Further, the tip portion curved in an S shape is connected to the third throwing path KR3, and the second throwing path KR2 is tilted toward the end of the first throwing path KR1 in the direction opposite to the tilting direction of the first throwing path KR1. It is connected in the state of.

As a result, by colliding the ball flowing down the first throwing path KR1 with the lower surface of the tilted portion, the flowing direction of the ball can be directed from the direction of gravity to the tilting direction of the first throwing path KR1. Therefore, the ball can flow down toward the entrance of the third throwing path KR3 (the connecting portion between the first throwing path KR1 and the third throwing path KR3). Therefore, in the state where the distribution member 540 is not arranged, the ball flowing down the first throwing path KR1 can be thrown to the third throwing path KR3.

Here, the flow path through which the game ball flows down, the first branch passage and the second branch passage branched from the flow path, and the game ball flowing down the flow path to one of the first branch passage and the second branch passage. A game machine that sorts is known.

However, in the conventional game machine, since the game ball flowing down the flow-down passage is alternately distributed to the first branch passage and the second branch passage one by one, the game ball flowing down the flow-down passage is the first branch. It is evenly distributed (that is, half each) to the aisle and the second branch aisle. That is, there is a problem that the number of game balls distributed to the first branch passage cannot be changed.

On the other hand, in the present embodiment, the ball receiving portion 467 which is formed so as to be displaceable and receives the game ball from the third throwing path KR3 is provided, and the contact plate 464c interlocking with the ball receiving portion 467 hits the distribution member 540. Since the distribution member 540 is displaced by being displaced in contact with the ball, the number of game balls distributed to the third throwing path KR3 or the second throwing path can be changed according to the displacement of the ball receiving portion 467. That is, the number of game balls distributed to the third throwing path KR3 can be changed.

As for the displacement of the distribution member 540, the distribution member 540 can be displaced by using the displacement of the ball receiving portion 467. Therefore, a drive means and a transmission mechanism for displace the distribution member 540 are separately provided. Can be unnecessary. Therefore, the number of parts can be reduced by that amount, and the product cost can be reduced.

Further, for example, in a structure in which the displacement of the sorting member 540 is controlled by using position detection by a sensor device or driving by a driving means, the reliability of the sorting operation of the sorting member is lowered due to a malfunction due to a detection failure or a control failure. Invitingly, according to the present embodiment, the distribution destination by the distribution member 540 can be switched mechanically in synchronization with the displacement of the ball receiving portion 467, so that the reliability of the distribution operation can be improved.

In particular, since the ball receiving portion 467 is a member that receives the game ball from the rolling portion 525 of the third throwing path KR3, the distribution destination of the sorting member 540 is set to the third throwing path in synchronization with the displacement of the ball receiving portion 467. By switching to, the displacement member can surely receive the game ball distributed to the third throwing path KR3.

Further, in the conventional game machine, since the game ball flowing down the flow path is only distributed to either the first branch passage or the second branch passage, it is insufficient to give the player an interest.

On the other hand, according to the present embodiment, in a state where the distribution destination by the regulation plate 541 (distribution means) is the third throw path KR3 (first branch passage), the flow of the game ball in the third is restricted. In a state where the distribution destination by the distribution member 540 is the second throw path KR2 (second branch passage), a storage plate 542 (flow state changing means) that allows the flow of game balls on the third throw path KR3 is provided. , Can give the player a taste.

That is, when the distribution destination by the regulation plate 541 is the third throwing path, the flow of the game balls distributed to the third throwing path KR3 is restricted, the game balls are stored in the third throwing path KR3, and the regulation plate is used. When the distribution destination according to 541 is the second throwing path KR2, the game ball in the third throwing path KR3 is allowed to flow down, and the game ball stored in the third throwing path KR3 can flow down (open). it can. As a result, in addition to the operation of distributing the game ball flowing down the first throwing path KR1 (flowing path) to one of the third throwing path KR3 or the second throwing path KR2, the game ball distributed to the third throwing path KR3 is distributed. It is possible to form an action of flowing down (opening). Further, these storage and opening operations can be alternately formed in conjunction with the distribution operation. As a result, the player can be given a hobby.

Further, since the distribution member 540 (integrated member) in which the regulation plate 541 (distribution means) and the storage plate 542 (flow state changing means) are integrally formed is provided, the regulation plate 541 and the storage plate 542 are operated. It is possible to simplify the structure and improve the reliability of operation, that is, when the regulation plate 541 and the storage plate 542 are formed separately, they are two parts, so these two parts are operated. The structure to be used becomes complicated and the reliability of operation is lowered.

On the other hand, according to the present embodiment, since the regulation plate 541 and the storage plate 542 can be formed as one component, the structure can be simplified by that amount, the product cost can be reduced, and the reliability of operation can be improved. be able to.

Further, the distribution member 540 is formed so as to be displaceable at the storage position (first state position) and the regulation position (second state position), and when the distribution member 540 is displaced to the storage position, the regulation plate 541 is the first. 3 The ball throwing path KR3 (first branch passage) is arranged at a position to be the distribution destination, and the storage plate 542 is arranged at a position for restricting the flow of the game ball in the third throwing path KR3, and the distribution member 540 is displaced to the regulated position. In this state, the regulating plate 541 is arranged at a position where the second throwing path KR2 is the distribution destination, and the storage plate 542 is arranged at a position where the flow of the game ball in the third throwing path is allowed. In addition to the operation of allocating the game ball flowing down the first throwing path KR1 (flowing path) to one of the third throwing path KR3 or the second throwing path, by displacing the ball at two positions (storage position and restricted position), the first 3 It is possible to form an operation of temporarily stopping (storing) the flow of the game balls distributed to the throwing path KR3 and an operation of causing the stopped (stored) game balls to flow down (open), and to store these. And the opening operation can be alternately formed in conjunction with the distribution operation. That is, the structure can be simplified to reduce the product cost and improve the reliability of operation.

The distribution member 540 (integrated member) is rotatably formed, and the storage plate 542 (flowing state changing means) is formed so as to appear and disappear with respect to the third throwing path KR3 (first branch passage), and the third throwing path. By projecting to KR3, the flow of the game ball is restricted, and the distribution member 540 is formed in an arcuately curved shape centered on the rotation axis. Therefore, the third throwing path KR3 is formed due to the appearance of the regulation plate 541. The area of the hole (recess 519) opened in the inner wall of the wall can be reduced.

Since the storage plate 542 (flow state changing means) is arranged in a posture in which the side facing the upstream of the third throwing path KR3 (first branch passage) is concave, the storage plate 542 to the third throwing path KR3 protrudes. In the initial state (that is, only the tip side of the flow state changing means is projected into the passage), the shape of the tip side of the storage plate 542 can be arranged in an direction that makes it easy to regulate the flow of the game ball. It is possible to easily regulate the flow of the game balls distributed to the third throwing path KR3.

Further, in a state where the storage plate 542 is projected to the third throwing path to the maximum and restricts the flow of the game ball, the concave portion of the storage plate 542 can stably hold the game ball, so that the rampage of the game ball can be suppressed.

The distribution unit 500 applies an urging force to the distribution member 540 (integrated member) to urge the regulation plate 541 in the direction of projecting into the third throwing path (first branch passage). ) Is provided, and the distance from the regulation plate 541 to the rotation axis of the distribution member 540 is made larger than the distance from the regulation plate 541 to the rotation axis of the distribution member 540. Therefore, the urging force of the urging spring SP4 is used. , The distribution member 540 can be easily maintained in a posture in which the storage plate 542 projects into the third emergency path (that is, the storage position).

In this case, the distance from the storage plate 542 to the rotation axis of the distribution member 540 is made larger than the distance from the regulation plate 541 to the rotation axis of the distribution member 540. Since the distance from the ball is large, even if the same impact force is applied, the storage plate 542 is likely to be absorbed, and the urging direction of the urging spring SP4 is the direction in which the storage plate 542 protrudes into the third throwing path KR3. As a result, it is possible to prevent the storage plate 542 from being immersed in the recess 519 by the amount of the urging force.

Further, since the distribution member 540 (integrated member) is rotated in the direction in which the storage plate 542 (flowing state changing means) protrudes into the third throwing path (first branch passage) due to its own weight, the own weight is used. The distribution member 540 can be easily maintained in a posture (that is, a storage position) in which the storage plate 542 projects into the third throwing path KR3. Therefore, when the game ball collides, it is possible to prevent the storage plate 542 from being immersed in the recess 519 by the amount of its own weight.

Further, even if the urging spring SP4 (the urging means) is dropped, the distribution member 540 is maintained in a posture in which the regulation plate 541 protrudes to the third throwing path KR3 due to its own weight, and the game is played to the third throwing path. It is possible to prevent the ball from flowing down.

Further, the distribution member 540 is provided with an urging spring SP4 that applies an urging force to maintain the distribution destination by the distribution member 540 on either the third throw path KR3 or the second throw path KR2, and the ball receiving portion 467 is a distribution member. By displacing the 540 in a direction opposite to the direction of the urging spring SP4, the distribution destination by the distribution member 540 is switched to the other of the third throw path KR3 or the second throw path KR2, and the urging force of the urging spring , The distribution destination by the distribution member 540 is returned to either the third throw path KR3 or the second throw path KR2.

Therefore, it is possible to prevent the distribution member 540 from inadvertently switching the distribution destination. In this case, after the distribution member 540 is displaced with the displacement of the ball receiving portion 467 and the distribution destination is switched, the return to the distribution destination before the switching can be performed by the urging force of the urging spring SP4. Therefore, it is not necessary that the contact plate 464c interlocked with the ball receiving portion 467 is in contact with the distribution member 540. That is, the contact plate 464c interlocked with the ball receiving portion 467 can be separated from the sorting member 540. Therefore, the degree of freedom in designing the movable range of the ball receiving portion 467 can be increased.

Next, the displacement of the distribution member 540 will be described with reference to FIG. 74. 74 (a) and 74 (b) are partially enlarged views of the distribution unit 500 in the range LXXIV of FIG. 73. Note that FIG. 74 (a) shows a state in which the distribution member 540 is located at the storage position, and FIG. 74 (b) shows a state in which the distribution member 540 is located at the regulation position. Further, in the state where the distribution member 540 is arranged at the regulated position, the contact plate 464c of the lower displacement member 440 collides with the protrusion 543 of the distribution member 540, and the distribution member 540 is centered on the axis of the shaft hole 545. It is a state in which the regulation plate 541 is arranged at the connecting portion between the first throwing path KR1 and the third throwing path KR3 after being rotated.

As shown in FIG. 74 (a), in the state where the distribution member 540 is arranged at the storage position, the storage plate 542 is arranged on the third throwing path KR3, and the regulation plate 541 is on the back side of the path forming member 510. It is arranged inside the recess 518 formed in the wall of the.

In this case, the distance dimension L1 between the end of the tip protruding inward of the third throw path KR3 of the storage plate 542 and the inner wall of the third throw path KR3 facing the tip is made smaller than the diameter of the sphere. Therefore, the ball thrown from the upstream side of the third throwing path KR3 (the first throwing path KR1) is stopped on the upstream side of the storage plate 542.

Further, the distance dimension L2 from the inside of the curved portion of the storage plate 542 to the connecting portion between the first throwing path KR1 and the third throwing path KR3 is set to be larger than the radius of the sphere and larger than the diameter of the sphere. Set small. As a result, the number of balls stopped on the upstream side of the storage plate 542 can be set to one. In the following, the state of the distribution unit 500 in which one ball is stopped on the upstream side of the storage plate 542 is referred to as a storage state.

On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 74 (b), in the state where the distribution member 540 is arranged at the regulation position, the regulation plate 541 is arranged at the connecting portion between the first throw path KR1 and the third throw path KR3. , The storage plate 542 is arranged inside the recess 519 formed in the wall portion on the back surface side of the path forming member 510.

In this case, the distance dimension L3 between the end of the tip protruding inward of the first throwing path KR1 of the regulation plate 541 and the inner wall of the entrance of the third throwing path KR3 is made smaller than the diameter of the sphere. Therefore, the ball flowing down the first throwing path KR1 collides with the regulation plate 541 and is thrown to the second throwing path KR2.

That is, by switching the distribution member 540 between the regulation position and the storage position, the ball thrown in the first throwing path KR1 is thrown into the third throwing path KR3 and stopped on the third throwing path KR3. It is possible to form a state in which a ball flowing down the first throwing path KR1 cannot flow into the third throwing path KR3 and is thrown into the second throwing path KR2.

Therefore, by displacing one distribution member 540, when the flow path of 1 is divided into the flow path of 2, the flow path of the sphere can be reliably switched to either of them.

Further, the urging spring SP4 applies an urging force to the distribution member 540 to maintain the distribution destination by the distribution member 540 on the second throwing path KR2, so that the ball receiving portion 467 cannot receive the game ball. It is possible to prevent the distribution destination by the distribution member 540 from being switched to the third throwing path.

Further, the regulation plate 541 (distribution means) is formed so as to be able to appear and disappear with respect to the first throwing path KR1 (flow passage) or the third throwing path KR3 (first branch passage), and the appearance position thereof is the first. Since it is an inner wall on an extension line in the flow direction at the downstream end of the first throw path KR1, the regulation plate 541 can be projected at a position close to the game ball flowing down from the lower end side of the first throw path KR1. Therefore, it is possible to shorten the time required from the start of projecting the regulation plate 541 to the flow-down passage or the third throwing path KR3 (first branch passage) until the game balls can be distributed. As a result, the distribution destination can be reliably switched by the regulation plate 541.

Further, the regulation plate 541 (distribution means) projects from the third throwing path KR3 (first branch passage) to allow the game ball flowing down the first throwing path KR1 (flowing passage) to the second throwing path (the second throwing path). It is distributed to the second branch passage), and the protruding direction of the regulation plate 541 is set to the direction toward the upstream end of the second throwing path KR2, so that the game ball flowing down the first throwing path KR1 is projected. When the game ball comes into contact with the regulation plate in the middle of the process, the game ball can be pushed into the second throwing path KR as the regulation plate protrudes. As a result, the distribution to the second throwing path KR2 can be performed more reliably.

In the present embodiment, the regulation plate 541 of the distribution member 540 is arranged at a position closer to the shaft hole 545 than the storage plate 542, but the regulation plate 541 is located closer to the shaft hole 545 than the regulation plate 541. May be placed in. That is, the shaft of the distribution member 540 may be arranged at the position of the point P on the back surface of the third throwing path KR3 on the downstream side of the shaft hole 545 of the distribution member 540 shown in FIGS. 74 (a) and 74 (b). .. In this case, the arrangement positions of the regulation plate 541 and the storage plate 542 formed on the distribution member 540 are formed at the same positions as in the present embodiment.

When the shaft hole 545 is arranged at the point P, the displacement speed of the regulation plate 541 when the distribution member 540 is rotationally displaced can be made faster than that of the storage plate 542. Therefore, when the distribution member 540 is displaced from the storage position to the regulation position as described later, the regulation plate 541 can be quickly projected onto the flow path. As a result, it is possible to prevent the game ball flowing down the first throwing path KR1 from flowing into the third throwing path KR3 at the timing when the distribution member 540 is switched from the regulated position to the storage position.

Further, in this case, the shapes of the regulation plate 541 and the storage plate 542 in the front view are formed in an arc shape centered on the point P. Thereby, when the distribution member 540 is displaced from the regulation position to the storage position (or opposite), the displacement regions of the regulation plate 541 and the storage plate 542 can be minimized. Further, the recesses 518 and 519 that receive the regulation plate 541 and the storage plate 542 on the outside of the third throwing path KR3 have a concave shape along the displacement locus of the regulation plate 541 and the regulation plate 541.

Next, with reference to FIGS. 75 and 76, a case where two or more balls are thrown from the throwing path when the sorting member 540 is arranged at the storage position will be described. 75 (a) and 75 (b) are partially enlarged views of the distribution unit 500. 76 (a) and 76 (b) are partially enlarged views of the sorting unit 500.

Note that FIGS. 78 (a) and 78 (b) correspond to a partially enlarged view of the distribution unit 500 of FIG. 74 (a). Further, from FIGS. 75 (a) to 76 (b), the transition states of the spheres when the spheres flow in are shown in order. Further, FIGS. 75 (a) to 76 (b) show a state in which the distribution member 540 is arranged at the storage position.

As shown in FIGS. 75A and 75B, when the first game ball T1 is thrown into the first throwing path KR1 in a state where the sorting member 540 is arranged at the storage position, as described above. , The game ball T1 is thrown into the third throwing path KR3 and stopped above the storage plate 542.

In this case, since the storage plate 542 is located on the downstream side of the distance between the radius and the diameter of the sphere from the upper end of the third throwing path KR3, a part of the sphere stopped at the upper part of the storage plate 542. Is in a state of protruding toward the first throwing path KR1 side (see FIG. 75).

Therefore, as described above, the third throwing path KR3 (first branch passage) is formed so as to be inclined downward toward the downstream, and the game ball is formed so as to be able to roll on the inner wall on the gravity direction side thereof. Since the storage plate 542 (means for changing the flow state) is formed so as to be able to appear and disappear from the inner wall on the lower side in the direction of gravity into the third throwing path KR3, the game ball is started after the storage plate 542 starts to protrude into the third throwing path KR3. It is possible to shorten the time required for the flow of water to be regulated. As a result, when the distribution destination of the regulation plate 541 is switched from the second throw path KR2 (second branch passage) to the third throw path KR3 and the game ball is distributed to the third throw path KR3, the game ball is distributed. It is possible to easily make the protrusion of the storage plate 542 in time for the regulation of flow.

Further, the regulation plate 541 is formed so as to be able to appear and disappear with respect to the third throwing path KR3, and in a state of being maximally protruding into the third throwing path KR3, a force component in the protruding direction is acted on from the game ball to the storage plate 542. Therefore, when the flow of the game ball distributed to the third throwing path KR3 is regulated, it is possible to prevent the storage plate 542 from being immersed in the recess 519 due to the impact when the game ball collides. Therefore, it is possible to easily regulate the flow of the game ball.

Next, as shown in FIGS. 76A and 76B, when the second game ball T2 is thrown to the first throwing path KR1 when the distribution unit 500 is in the stored state, the game ball T2 becomes The ball is thrown in the direction from the first throwing path KR1 to the upper end of the third throwing path KR3. Since the game ball T1 is stopped at the upper end of the third throwing path KR3, the game ball T2 collides with the game ball T1 and is thrown to the second throwing path KR2.

In this case, as described above, since the game ball T1 is in a state of protruding toward the first throwing path KR1, the game ball T2 is sent to the second throwing path KR2 without being thrown inside the third throwing path KR3. Since it can be guided, the game ball T2 can be thrown to the second throwing path KR2 without staying inside the third throwing path KR3. Therefore, it is possible to stabilize the throwing of the first throwing path KR1 and the second throwing path KR2.

That is, the inner wall of the first throwing path KR1 (flowing passage) on the side where the second throwing path KR2 (second branch passage) is desired is a game ball flowing down the first throwing path KR1 and the third throwing path KR3 (first). Since the last game ball of the specified number (1 ball) of the game balls stored in the branch passage) is formed so as to be guided to the side surface of the third throw path KR3, the game ball flowing down the first throw path KR1. Can be easily flowed down to the second throwing path KR2 after colliding with the last game ball out of the specified number of game balls.

Of the specified number of game balls, the last game ball means a game ball located on the upstream side (opposite side to the regulation plate 541). Further, in the present embodiment, the specified number is set to one ball. In this case, the game ball at the end means the game ball itself stored in the third throwing path KR3.

Further, as described above, in the first throwing path KR1 (flow passage), the lower end side of the flow path is tilted toward the central portion of the base plate 520 in the left-right direction (horizontal direction in FIG. 73), and is tilted. The portion is formed by being curved in a gentle S shape. That is, since the flow direction at the downstream end of the first throw path KR1 (flow passage) is formed in the flow direction at the upstream end of the third throw path KR3, the game ball flowing down the first throw path KR1 is the third. If the direction of the repulsive force applied to the last game ball when it collides with the last game ball among the specified number of game balls stored in the throw path is different from the flow direction at the upstream end of the third throw path KR3. Can be made. As a result, it is possible to prevent the trailing game ball from jumping out from the upstream end of the third throwing path KR3 and flowing into the second throwing path KR2 due to the repulsive force at the time of collision.

Further, since the upper end portion of the third throwing path KR3 is formed so as to be inclined in the inclined direction of the lower end portion of the first throwing path KR1, the position where the game ball T2 collides with the game ball T1 is the upper hemisphere of the game ball T1. At the same time, it can be set to the second throwing path KR2 side. Therefore, the bounce direction of the game ball T2 that collides with the game ball T1 can be set to the entrance (upper end) side of the second throwing path KR2. Therefore, the game ball T2 that collides with the game ball T1 can be easily thrown to the second throwing path KR2. As a result, it is possible to prevent the ball from staying in the first throwing path KR1 and the second throwing path KR2.

Further, the distribution destination by the regulation plate 541 is set to the third throwing path KR3 (first branch passage), and the flow of the game ball on the third throwing path KR3 is regulated by the storage plate 542 (flow state changing means). 3 When a specified number (1 ball) of game balls are stored in the throwing path KR3, the game balls flowing down the first throwing path KR1 (flowing passage) can flow down to the second throwing path KR2 (second branch passage). When more than the specified number of game balls flow down the flow passage, it is possible to prevent the number of game balls exceeding the specified number (the second and subsequent game balls T2) from staying in the first throwing path KR1. it can. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the displacement of the regulation plate 541 (the operation of setting the distribution destination to the second throwing path KR2) from being hindered by the game ball stuck in the first throwing path KR1.

Next, with reference to FIG. 77, a case where a ball is thrown into the throwing path when the sorting member 540 is arranged at the regulated position will be described. 77 (a) and 77 (b) are partially enlarged views of the sorting unit 500.

Note that FIGS. 77 (a) and 77 (b) correspond to a partially enlarged view of the distribution unit 500 of FIG. 74 (a). Further, FIGS. 77 (a) and 77 (b) show the transition states of the spheres when the spheres flow in, respectively. Further, FIGS. 77 (a) and 77 (b) show a state in which the distribution member 540 is arranged at the regulated position.

As shown in FIGS. 77 (a) and 77 (b), when a ball is thrown into the first throwing path KR1 with the sorting member 540 arranged at the regulated position, the thrown game ball T1 becomes the first thrown ball. It collides with the regulation plate 541 at the lower end of the path KR1. As a result, the game ball T1 is guided by the second throwing path KR2 and flows down the second throwing path KR2.

Next, with reference to FIG. 78, an operation when the ball is allowed to flow down to the downstream side of the third throwing path KR3 will be described. 78 (a) and 78 (b) are partially enlarged views of the sorting unit 500.

Note that FIGS. 78 (a) and 78 (b) correspond to a partially enlarged view of the distribution unit 500 of FIG. 74 (a). Further, FIGS. 78A and 78B show the transition states of the spheres when the spheres flow in, respectively. Further, FIG. 78 (a) shows a state in which the distribution member 540 is arranged at the storage position, and FIG. 78 (b) shows a state in which the distribution member 540 is arranged at the regulation position.

As shown in FIGS. 78 (a) and 78 (b), when the distribution unit 500 is in the stored state (the state shown in FIG. 78 (a)), the distribution member 540 is displaced and placed at the regulated position. , The game ball T1 stagnated above the storage plate 542 is flowed down to the downstream side of the third throwing path KR3.

That is, the flow of the ball into the third throwing path KR3 is limited to the ball stagnant above the storage plate 542. Further, as described above, the number of balls stagnant above the storage plate 542 is set to 1, so that the balls can flow down to the third throwing path KR3 one by one. Therefore, since the number of balls flowing down to the downstream side of the third throwing path KR3 can be stabilized, it is possible to suppress the unintended number of balls flowing down to the third throwing path KR3.

Therefore, the distribution member 540 (distributing means) has a regulation plate 541 (first infestation portion) and a regulation plate 541 (first infestation portion) formed so as to be able to appear and disappear in the third throwing path (first branch passage) according to the displacement of the distribution member 540. A storage plate (second infestation portion) is provided, and the regulation plate 541 projects a game ball flowing down the first throwing path KR1 (flowing passage) into the second throwing path KR2 (second branch) by projecting into the third throwing path. The storage plate 542 is formed so as to be able to be distributed to the aisle), is located on the downstream side of the third throwing path KR3 from the regulation plate 541, and is distributed to the third throwing path KR3 by protruding into the third throwing path KR3. The flow of the game balls is regulated so that the regulating plate 541 and the storage plate 542 are formed so that one of them protrudes into the passage of the third throwing path KR3 and the other is outside the passage (recessed portion) of the third throwing path KR3. Since it is retracted to (inside 518, 519), by displace the distribution member 540 according to the displacement of the ball receiving portion 467 (displacement member), only the specified number (1 ball) of game balls can be transferred to the third throwing path KR3. It can be distributed to and received by the ball receiving unit 467.

That is, the first state in which the regulation plate 541 projects to distribute the game ball flowing down the first throwing path KR1 to the second throwing path, and the regulation plate 541 retracts to flow down the first throwing path KR1. A third state in which the game balls to be distributed to the third throwing path are distributed to the third throwing path, and a third state in which the second infestation portion protrudes to regulate the flow of the game balls distributed to the third throwing path KR3 (store the game balls). And the state of the second infestation part, and the fourth state in which the game ball stored in the third throwing path is allowed to flow down and be received by the ball receiving part can be formed. By combining the above, only a specified number (1 ball) of game balls can be distributed to the third throwing path KR3 and received by the ball receiving unit 467.

Further, since the distribution member 540 includes the regulation plates 541 and 542, that is, is formed as one component, the structure of the distribution member 540 (in order to operate the regulation plate 541 and the storage plate 542 and exert their functions). Structure) can be simplified. Further, when one of the regulation plate 541 and the storage plate 542 protrudes into the passage of the third throwing path KR3, the other is retracted out of the passage of the third throwing path KR3, so that there are two ball receiving portions 467. It suffices that the distribution member 540 is also formed so as to be displaceable at two positions according to the positions (first position and second position). That is, by displacing the distribution member 540 at two positions, the above-mentioned first to fourth states can be formed. Therefore, the structure of the distribution member 540 and the structure of displace the distribution member 540 with the displacement of the ball receiving portion 467 can be simplified, and the reliability of the distribution operation of the game ball can be improved accordingly.

Next, the distribution unit 500 and the lower displacement unit 400 will be described with reference to FIGS. 79 to 80. FIG. 79 is a front view of the distribution unit 500 and the lower displacement unit 400. FIG. 80 is a top view of the distribution unit 500 and the lower displacement unit 400. The state in which the lower displacement unit 400 is arranged at the retracted position is shown in the figure.

As shown in FIGS. 79 and 80, the distribution unit 500 is arranged on the front side (lower side of FIG. 80) of the lower displacement unit 400. In this case, the opening 525a formed in the rolling portion 525 of the distribution unit 500 and the opening 451a formed in the decorative member 450 of the lower displacement member 440 are arranged at positions where they overlap in the front-rear direction. Therefore, the ball rolled on the rolling portion 525 is thrown into the lower displacement member 440 via the opening 525a and the opening 451a.

In other words, the ball is thrown to the lower displacement member 440 from the third winning opening 82 formed in the game board 13 via the ball throwing unit 600 and the distribution unit 500. Is done.

Therefore, the distribution unit 500 includes a rolling unit 525 that communicates with the trajectory region of the ball receiving unit 467, and the distribution member 540 regulates the passage of the game ball in the rolling unit 525. Therefore, for example, the distribution member 540 may be used. Even if a malfunction occurs and the second and subsequent game balls T2 are thrown, the second and subsequent game balls T2 are surely thrown to the orbital region of the distribution member 540 via the rolling unit 525. Can be done. As a result, it is possible to prevent problems caused by the second and subsequent game balls T2.

Next, the relationship between the distribution member 540 and the lower displacement member 440 will be described with reference to FIGS. 81 to 86. 81, 83 and 85 are front views of the lower displacement unit 400, and FIGS. 82, 84 and 86 are cross-sectional views of the sorting unit 500. In addition, in FIGS. 81, 83 and 85, the decorative member 450 of the lower displacement member 440 and the front case 481 are transparently viewed, and only the distribution member 540 of the distribution unit 500 arranged on the front side is shown. .. Further, in FIGS. 82, 84 and 86, the distribution member 540 is shown by a chain line, and the contact plate 464c of the lower displacement member 440 arranged on the back surface side is shown by a chain line.

Further, in FIGS. 81 and 82, a state in which the ball receiving portion 467 of the lower displacement member 440 is arranged at the first position and the distribution member 540 is arranged at the regulated position is shown, and the lower displacement member 440 is in the retracted state. The positioned state is illustrated. In FIGS. 83 and 84, the ball receiving portion 467 of the lower displacement member 440 is arranged at the second position and the distribution member 540 is arranged at the storage position, and the lower displacement member 440 is located in the retracted state. The state is illustrated. In FIGS. 85 and 86, a state in which the ball receiving portion 467 of the lower displacement member 440 is arranged in the first position and the distribution member 540 is arranged in the storage position is shown, and the lower displacement member 440 is in the first overhanging state. The state located in is illustrated.

As shown in FIGS. 81 and 82, in the state where the lower displacement member 440 is arranged in the retracted state and the state where the ball receiving portion 467 of the lower displacement member 440 is arranged in the first position, the ball receiving portion is as described above. The rack 466 that drives the 467 is arranged on the other end side of the lower displacement member 440 (the left side of the lower displacement member 440 in the front view), and the movable rack 464 is arranged on the back side so as to overlap in the front-rear direction.

That is, the movable rack 464 is in a state of being arranged on the other end side of the lower displacement member 440 (the left side of the lower displacement member 440 in the front view), similarly to the rack 466. Therefore, the contact plate 464c formed on the movable rack 464 is located on the other end side of the lower displacement member 440. In this case, the side surface on the other end side (the surface on the left side in the front view) of the contact plate 464c is in contact with the protrusion 543 of the distribution member 540. As a result, the distribution member 540 is displaced to a position (regulation position) in which the regulation plate 541 is projected from the first throwing path KR1 by the driving force of rotation acting around the axis of the shaft hole 545.

Therefore, in the state where the lower displacement member 440 is retracted and the ball receiving portion 467 is arranged at the first position, the ball thrown into the first throwing path KR1 of the distribution unit 500 is the third throwing path KR3. The ball is thrown to the second throwing path KR2 without flowing down. Further, as described above, by displacing the distribution member 540 from the storage state in which the balls are stored above the storage plate 542 to the regulated position, a game is played on the downstream side (downstream side of the storage plate 542) of the third throwing path KR3. You can throw a ball. At this time, by operating the ball receiving portion 467 to receive the ball, the game ball can be thrown inside the ball receiving portion 467.

The opening operation of the third electric accessory 82a for keeping the game ball stored in the distribution unit 500 is performed before the ball receiving portion 467 is displaced to the first position, and the ball receiving portion 467 is the first. When displaced to the position, the third electric accessory 82a is in a closed state. As a result, when the distribution member 540 is displaced from the storage position to the regulation position, the game ball passing through the first throwing path KR1 is not restricted from flowing down by the regulation plate 541 and the storage plate 542, and the unintended game ball becomes the first. 3 Throwing path It is possible to suppress the throwing of the ball to the downstream side of the KR3.

Further, since the distribution member 540 is formed so as to be operable in conjunction with the displacement of the ball receiving portion 467, the throwing of the game ball to the orbital region of the ball receiving portion 467 is regulated according to the displacement of the ball receiving portion 467. Or acceptable. That is, since the regulation or tolerance of the throwing of the game ball can be switched mechanically in synchronization with the displacement of the ball receiving portion 467, for example, the sorting member can be switched according to the detection result of the sensor that detects the position of the sorting member 540. It is possible to eliminate the need to control the driving means for driving the 540 or each of these means, thereby reducing the product cost and improving the reliability of operation.

Further, the distribution member 540 sends the game ball T2 to the trajectory region of the ball receiving portion 467 in conjunction with the displacement of the ball receiving portion 467 from the second position to the first position direction (second direction). Therefore, the game ball can be reliably thrown to the orbital region of the ball receiving portion 467 and the region on the first direction side of the ball receiving portion 467.

Further, the ball receiving portion 467 is formed so as to be displaceable at a switching position for switching the distribution member 540 and a receiving position (second position) set at a position different from the switching position (first position). In the state where the portion 467 is displaced to the switching position, the distribution destination by the distribution member 540 is switched to the third throwing path KR3, and in the state where the ball receiving portion 467 is displaced to the receiving position, the ball receiving portion is transferred from the third throwing path. Since the 467 can receive the game ball and the distribution destination by the distribution member 540 is switched to the second throwing path KR2, the specified number of balls that the ball receiving unit 467 can receive (1 ball in this embodiment) can be obtained. It is possible to prevent the excess game ball from being distributed to the third throwing path KR3.

That is, when the switching position and the receiving position are set to the same position, the ball receiving unit 467 receives the game ball while the distribution destination by the distribution member 540 is switched to the third throwing path. There is a risk that the game balls will be distributed to the third throwing path KR3 in excess of the specified number that can be received by the ball receiving unit 467. If a means for regulating the inflow of the game ball into the third throwing path KR3 is separately provided, the structure becomes complicated, the reliability is lowered, and the product cost is increased.

On the other hand, in the embodiment, the ball receiving portion 467 is displaced to the switching position, and after the specified number of game balls (1 ball in the present embodiment) are distributed to the third throwing path KR3, the distribution member 540 is in the receiving position. When the ball is displaced to, the distribution destination is switched to the second throwing path KR2, so that it is possible to prevent a game ball exceeding one ball from flowing down to the third throwing path. Therefore, the ball receiving unit 467 can prevent the game balls exceeding the receivable specified number (1 ball) from being distributed to the third throwing path KR3. Further, since it is not necessary to separately provide the above-mentioned means (means for regulating the inflow of the game ball into the third throwing path KR3), it is possible to improve the reliability and reduce the product cost.

Further, when the power is turned on (on), the pachinko machine 10 starts from a position where each operating unit is turned off (off). Further, when the power of the pachinko machine 10 is turned off, only the control thereof may be reset. In that case, if the distribution member 540 is provided with a driving means, when the power is turned on, the distribution unit 500 in the stored state operates during the initial operation to cause the game ball to flow down to the third throw path KR3. There is a risk that the game ball will be thrown to the retracted side (first position side) of the ball receiving portion 467 arranged at the third position.

On the other hand, in the present embodiment, since the displacement of the distribution member 540 and the displacement of the ball receiving portion 467 are synchronized, even if the power is turned off when the pachinko machine 10 is not located at a predetermined reference position, the pachinko machine is used. It is possible to prevent an unintended gaming ball from being thrown into the orbital region of the ball receiving portion 467 when the power of the machine 10 is turned on. As a result, it is possible to prevent the game ball from being clogged inside the lower displacement member 440.

Further, when the power is turned off while the game ball is left in the orbital region of the lower displacement member 440, the ball receiving portion 467 is left in the orbital region of the ball receiving portion 467 by causing the ball receiving portion 467 to perform the discharge operation described above. The game ball can be discharged to the outside of the lower displacement member 440 and collected from the collection port 411f.

Next, it will be described with reference to FIGS. 83 and 84. As shown in FIGS. 83 and 84, the lower displacement member 440 is arranged in the retracted state, and the ball receiving portion 467 of the lower displacement member 440 is arranged in the second position or the third position (position other than the first position). In this state, as described above, the rack 466 for driving the ball receiving portion 467 is arranged at a substantially central position in the left-right direction (left-right direction in FIG. 83) of the lower displacement member 440, and the movable rack 464 is placed in the lower displacement member 440. It is arranged at a position movable from the other end side (left side in the left-right direction in FIG. 83) to one end side.

Therefore, the contact plate 464c formed on the movable rack 464 is arranged at a position separated from the other end side of the lower displacement member 4440 to one end side. In this case, the other end surface (the surface on the left side when viewed from the front) of the contact plate 464c is separated from the protrusion 543 of the distribution member 540. As a result, the distribution member 540 is rotated about the axis of the shaft hole 545 by the urging force of the urging spring SP4 interposed between the distribution member 540 and the base plate 520, and the storage plate 542 is thrown into the third ball. It is displaced to a position (storage position) protruding from the path KR3.

Therefore, when the lower displacement member 440 is retracted and the ball receiving portion 467 is arranged at the second position or the third position (position other than the first position), the first throwing path of the distribution unit 500 The ball thrown to the KR1 is in a state of being stopped above the storage plate 542. Further, as described above, when the distribution unit 500 is in the stored state, the ball thrown to the first throwing path KR1 collides with the ball stopped above the storage plate 542 and is thrown to the second throwing path KR2. ..

Next, it will be described with reference to FIGS. 85 and 86. As shown in FIGS. 85 and 86, when the lower displacement member 440 is arranged in the first overhanging state or the second overhanging state, the lower displacement member 440 slides with respect to the front base 411 as described above. It is displaced and rotationally displaced. Therefore, the contact plate 464c formed on the movable rack 464 is displaced according to the displacement of the lower displacement member 440, and is separated from the protrusion 543 of the distribution member 540. As a result, the distribution member 540 is rotated about the axis of the shaft hole 545 by the urging force of the urging spring SP4 interposed between the distribution member 540 and the base plate 520, and the storage plate 542 is thrown into the third ball. It is displaced to a position (storage position) protruding from the path KR3.

Therefore, when the lower displacement member 440 is in the first overhanging state or the second overhanging state, the ball thrown into the first throwing path KR1 of the distribution unit 500 is stopped above the storage plate 542. Will be done. Further, as described above, when the distribution unit 500 is in the stored state, the ball thrown to the first throwing path KR1 collides with the ball stopped above the storage plate 542 and is thrown to the second throwing path KR2. ..

That is, when the lower displacement member 440 is in the first overhang state and the second overhang state (a state other than the retracted state), the opening 451a of the decorative member 450 is opened with the displacement of the lower displacement member 440. Since the position is displaced, the communication state of the ball between the opening 451a and the opening 525a of the distribution unit 500 is released. Therefore, when the ball flows down into the third throwing path KR3, the ball may be discharged into the back case 300 from the opening 451a. However, in the present embodiment, the third throwing member 540 is set as the storage position. It is possible to prevent the ball from flowing down to the downstream side of the path KR3. As a result, it is possible to prevent the balls of the back case 300 from being discharged inside.

In other words, the lower displacement member 440 of the lower displacement unit 400 is formed so as to be displaceable in the retracted state, the first overhanging state, and the second overhanging state, and when the lower displacement member 440 is positioned in the retracted state, Since the ball receiving portion 467 is arranged on the lower displacement member 440, a mode in which the ball receiving portion 467 is displaced while the lower displacement member 440 is arranged in the retracted state and a state in which the ball receiving portion 467 is arranged in the first or second overhanging state. It is possible to form a mode in which the ball receiving portion 467 is displaced. Therefore, the effect of the effect can be enhanced accordingly.

In this case, when the lower displacement member 440 is arranged in the first or second overhanging state, the ball receiving portion 467 cannot receive the game ball from the rolling portion 525 of the third throwing path KR3 (third throwing path KR3). The rolling portion 525 and the opening 451a of the lower displacement member 440 are in a non-communication state). In such a state, the contact plate 464c interlocking with the ball receiving portion 467 cannot contact the distribution member 540. Therefore, in a state where the ball receiving portion 467 cannot receive the game ball (a state in which the lower displacement member 440 is arranged in the first overhanging state or the second overhanging state), the sorting destination by the sorting member 540 is the third throwing path. It is possible to suppress switching to KR3.

Further, since the distribution member 540 is arranged on the base plate 520 of the distribution unit 500 formed as a separate member from the base member 470 of the lower displacement member 440, the size of the base member 470 of the lower displacement member 440 is increased accordingly. Can be suppressed.

Here, since the displacement of the lower displacement member 440 from the first overhanging state to the retracted state is not only rotational displacement in the left-right direction but also rotational displacement, the contact plate 464c in the tilted state is subjected to the rotational displacement. The protrusion 543 of the distribution member 540 may come into contact with the upper surface of the contact plate 464c, and the distribution member 540 may not be rotationally displaced.

On the other hand, in the present embodiment, when the lower displacement unit 400 is displaced from the state of being displaced to the first overhanging position shown in FIG. 85 to the retracted state, the ball receiving portion 467 is placed at a position other than the first position. It is in a state of being displaced to (second position or third position). As a result, it is possible to prevent the contact plate 464c of the lower displacement member 440 displaced in the retracted state from colliding with the protrusion 543. As a result, it is possible to prevent the distribution member 540 from being unable to be rotationally displaced due to the protrusion 543 of the distribution member 540 coming into contact with the upper surface of the contact plate 464c.

Further, since the swelling portion 543a is formed in the distribution member 540 as described above, when the lower displacement unit 400 is displaced from the first overhanging state to the retracted state due to poor control or the like, the contact plate 464c The distribution member 540 can be rotationally displaced even when the protrusion 543 of the distribution member 540 comes into contact with the upper surface.

That is, since the contact area with the contact plate 464c can be reduced by the bulging portion 543a, the bulging portion 543a can be easily slid along the surface when the contact plate 464c comes into contact with the contact plate 464c. Therefore, the distribution member 540 can be easily rotationally displaced. As a result, it is possible to prevent the distribution member 540 from being unable to be rotationally displaced due to the protrusion 543 of the distribution member 540 coming into contact with the upper surface of the contact plate 464c.

Next, the configuration of the drive transmission portion of the rotating unit 700 will be described with reference to FIGS. 87 to 90. 87 is a front view of the rotating unit 700, FIG. 88 is a rear view of the rotating unit 700, FIG. 89 is an exploded perspective front view of the rotating unit 700, and FIG. 90 is an exploded view of the rotating unit 700. It is a rear perspective view.

As shown in FIGS. 87 to 90, the rotating unit 700 includes a decorative unit 750 composed of a plurality of displacement members, a ball pedestal 710 arranged on the upper side of the decorative unit 750 in the direction of gravity, and the ball pedestal. The back base 720 arranged on the back side of the 710 and the decorative unit 750, the left side transmission member 730 arranged on the left side of the front view of the decoration unit 750, and the right side transmission member arranged on the right side of the front view of the decoration unit 750. It is formed mainly with 740.

The ball cradle 710 is a member for dropping a game ball emitted from an exit opening 471 on one side of the lower displacement member 440 of the lower displacement unit 400 described above. As a result, the ball thrown inside the lower displacement member 440 can be thrown to the rotating unit 700. The detailed configuration of the ball cradle 710 will be described later.

The decoration unit 750 is a substantially D-shaped block body in which a curved portion is arranged upward in a side view, and a character or a pattern is decorated on the front side. Further, the decorative unit 750 is composed of a plurality of members, and is configured to be displaceable by transmission of a drive described later. The configuration of the decoration unit 750 will be described later.

The back base 720 is a plate member that connects the back side of the ball cradle 710 and the back side of the decorative unit 750, and is formed in a substantially rectangular shape in front view. As described above, since the decorative unit 750 is composed of a plurality of movable members, the fastening portion thereof is limited, but the decorative unit 750 and the ball cradle 710 are on the back side at a position invisible to the player. By connecting the above, the decoration unit 750 and the ball cradle 710 can be assembled as one unit while ensuring the range of motion of the decoration unit 750.

The left transmission member 730 is attached with a drive motor KM4 arranged on the left side surface (left side in FIG. 87) of the decorative unit 750, a transmission member 730 for transmitting the driving force of the drive motor KM4, and a drive motor KM4. It is mainly provided with a motor base 732, a gear cover 733 that covers the transmission member 730, and a throwing path cover 734 that is attached to the gear cover 733 and forms a predetermined gap between the gear cover 733 and the gear cover 733. To.

The drive motor KM4 is a drive source for moving each member of the decorative unit 750, which will be described later. The drive of the drive motor KM4 is transmitted by a transmission member 730, which will be described later.

The transmission member 730 includes a transmission gear 731a attached to the shaft of the drive motor KM4, a transmission gear 731b meshing with the transmission gear 731a, a transmission gear 731c meshing with the transmission gear 731b, and a transmission gear 731c. The transmission gear 731d is arranged adjacent to the transmission gear 731d and coaxially arranged by the shaft 735, and the load gear 731e meshed with the transmission gear 731d is mainly provided.

The transmission gear 731a is attached to the drive motor KM4 as described above, and rotates when the drive motor KM4 is rotationally driven.

The transmission gear 731b is provided with a one-way clutch OW1 inside, and the inner ring of the one-way clutch OW1 is connected to a shaft portion JB1 that transmits a rotational driving force to a right-side transmission member 740 on the right side of the decorative unit 750.

The one-way clutch OW1 includes an inner ring that is arranged inside and a cam surface is formed on the outer peripheral surface, an outer ring that is arranged outside the inner ring, and a plurality of springs and rollers between the inner ring and the outer ring. When the outer ring tries to rotate in one direction with respect to the inner ring, the contact surface pressure between the cam surface and the roller increases and becomes resistance to transmit power to the inner ring, and the outer ring moves in the other direction with respect to the inner ring. When rotated to, the contact surface pressure between the cam surface and the roller decreases, and the clutch slips and disconnects the power transmission.

Therefore, the transmission gear 731b can transmit the driving force of rotation to the shaft portion JB1 when the driving force in one direction is transmitted from the drive motor KM4, and when the driving force in the other direction is transmitted from the drive motor KM4, The outer ring slides with respect to the inner ring, and the transmission of the driving force to the shaft portion JB1 is cut off.

The transmission gear 731c is provided with a one-way clutch OW1 inside like the transmission gear 731b. A shaft 735 is arranged inside the one-way clutch OW1 of the transmission gear 731c.

Therefore, the transmission gear 731c can transmit the driving force of rotation to the shaft 735 when the driving force in one direction is transmitted from the drive motor KM4, and the inner ring when the driving force in the other direction is transmitted from the drive motor KM4. On the other hand, the outer ring slips and the transmission of the driving force to the shaft 735 is cut off. Further, the transmission gear 731c is meshed with the transmission gear 731b, and the rotation directions of the transmission gears 731c are opposite to each other. Therefore, when the transmission gear 731b is rotated in one direction, the transmission gear 731c is rotated in the other direction. On the other hand, when the transmission gear 731b is rotated in the other direction, the transmission gear 731b is rotated in one direction. That is, by switching the rotation direction of the drive motor KM4, it is switched to a mode in which the shaft portion JB1 rotates or a mode in which the shaft 735 rotates.

The transmission gear 731d is attached to the shaft 735. As described above, the shaft 735 is rotated only when the transmission gear 731c is rotated in one direction. Therefore, the transmission gear 731c rotates in one direction only when the transmission gear 731c is rotated in one direction, and rotation in the other direction is non-rotation.

The load gear 731e is connected to the shaft portion 791a of the resistance member 791 whose shaft hole is attached to the box member 760. The resistance member 791 is formed to include a shaft portion 791a that is rotatable with respect to a base portion fastened to the box member 760. The resistance member 791 is formed so that a predetermined amount of resistance acts when the shaft portion 791a rotates with respect to the base portion. That is, since a predetermined amount of force is required to rotate the shaft portion 791a, a force equal to or more than a predetermined amount is also required to rotate the load gear 731e connected to the shaft portion 791a.

As a result, when the rotating body 800 meshed with the transmission gear 731d is rotated and stopped by the rotation of the transmission gear 731d, it is possible to prevent the rotating body 800 from rotating due to the inertial force. That is, the resistance when the shaft portion 791a rotates with respect to the base portion is set to be larger than the inertial force acting around the axis of the rotating body 800 when the rotation of the rotating body 800 is stopped.

Further, the load gear 731e is connected to the transmission gear 731d which is arranged coaxially with the transmission gear 731c. Therefore, the resistance of the load gear 731e applied to the drive motor KM4 can be limited to rotation in one direction for rotating the transmission gear 731d. That is, when the transmission gear 731c is rotated in the other direction, the transmission of the drive between the transmission gear 731c and the transmission gear 731d is cut off, so that the resistance of the load gear 731e can be suppressed from acting. As a result, when the transmission gear 731b is rotated in one direction, it is possible to suppress the action of the resistance of the load gear 731e.

The motor base 732 is formed in a box shape in which the decorative unit 750 side is open, and the drive motor KM4 is arranged on the outside of the bottom portion of the box (left side in FIG. 87) with the shaft inserted inside the box. Thereby, the transmission gear 731a connected to the shaft of the drive motor KM4 can be arranged inside the motor base 732. That is, the depth dimension of the box of the motor base 732 is set to be larger than the width dimension of the transmission gear 731a. As a result, the drive motor KM4 and the transmission gear 731a can be arranged on the decorative unit 750 in a state of being attached to the motor base 732, and the transmission gear 731a can be prevented from colliding with the decorative unit 750.

The gear cover 733 is formed in a vertically long rectangular shape when viewed from the rear, and is fastened to the decorative unit 750 with the left transmission member 730 arranged between them. Further, a through hole 733a is formed through the decorative unit 750 at a position facing the shaft hole of the rotating body 800, which will be described later. As a result, the ball rolling inside the rotating body 800 can be discharged to the outside through the through hole 733a. A description of the ball thrown to the rotating body 800 will be described later.

The throwing path cover 734 is a member arranged on the outside of the gear cover 733 (left side in FIG. 87), is formed of a plate-like body, and has a wall portion protruding from the edge portion toward the gear cover 733. As a result, a gap can be formed between the gear cover 733 and the ball throwing path cover 734 facing each other, and the ball through which the through hole 733a of the gear cover 733 is inserted is inserted through the gap and discharged to the outside of the rotating unit 700. Can be done. The ball discharged from the gap between the gear cover 733 and the ball throwing path cover facing each other is thrown to a collecting path (not shown) and collected.

It is mainly provided with a protrusion 741a.

In the one-way clutch OW1 attached to the rotating member 741, the shaft hole of the inner ring is inserted into the other end side of the shaft portion JB. Further, the one-way clutch OW1 is arranged so that the inner ring and the outer ring are not transmitted when a rotation opposite to the rotation direction of the shaft portion JB1 is input to the inner ring.

As a result, when a driving force having a rotational speed faster than the rotational speed transmitted from the shaft portion JB1 is input to the outer ring of the one-way clutch OW1, only the outer ring is rotated to drive the rotary member 741 of the drive motor KM4. It can be rotated by a driving force other than driving. As a result, the rotating member 741 can be rotated at two or more different speeds.

The arm member 742 has a shape in which a C-shape and an I-shape in a side view are combined, and is formed by connecting the other end of the I-shape to one end of the C-shape. Further, the arm member 742 includes a shaft hole 742a formed through the connecting portion between the C-shaped portion and the I-shaped portion, an elliptical first sliding groove 742b formed through the one end of the I-shaped portion, and C.

Therefore, since the shaft portion 764a is inserted into the shaft hole 742a and arranged in the decoration unit 750, the arm member 742 can rotate with respect to the decoration unit 750.

The first sliding groove 742b is a hole into which the protrusion 741a of the rotating member 741 is inserted, and the width dimension in the lateral direction formed in the ellipse is set to be larger than the outer diameter of the protrusion 741a. Therefore, the protrusion 741a can be inserted inside the first sliding groove 742b, and the arm member 742 can be rotationally displaced by the rotation of the rotating member 741.

Further, the rotating member 741 is formed so that the outer diameter is smaller than the longitudinal dimension of the I-shaped portion of the arm member 742, and the shaft is a distance from the shaft hole 742a of the arm member 742 to half the longitudinal dimension of the I-shaped portion. It is placed at a position farther away than. As a result, by rotating the rotating member 741, the arm member 742 can be reciprocated to rotate around the axis of the shaft hole 742a.

The second sliding groove 742c is a hole into which the protrusion 773a of the right lid portion 773, which will be described later, is inserted, and the width dimension in the lateral direction formed in the ellipse is set to be larger than the outer diameter of the protrusion 773a. Therefore, the protrusion 773a can be inserted inside the second sliding groove 742c. Further, the right lid portion 773 is formed so as to be rotatable and displaceable with respect to the box member 760. Therefore, as described above, the rotating member 741 is rotated, and the arm member 742 reciprocates in rotation to rotate the right lid portion 773 connected to the other end of the arm member 742 with respect to the box member 760. be able to.

The crank cover 743 is mainly provided with an elliptical portion 743a formed in a rear view ellipse and a ball throwing portion 743b formed so as to be connected to the back surface side of the elliptical portion 743a.

A wall portion is formed that protrudes larger than the thickness of the wall. Thereby, when the crank cover 743 is arranged on the decorative unit 750, the arm member 742 can be arranged between the crank cover 743 and the decorative unit 750.

The ball throwing unit 743b is a path member for throwing the ball to the recovery path when the ball flowing down the flow area in front of the game board 13 is collected from a predetermined collection port, and has a predetermined size inside. It is formed in the shape of a rod with a space of space. Further, the upper end side of the ball throwing portion 743b is opened and connected to the collection port of the game board 13, and the lower end side is connected to the opening formed in the decorative unit 750.

The left lid portion 772 is formed in an annular shape in a lateral view, and the radius on the outside of the ring is set to be substantially the same as the radius of the curved lid portion 771. Further, the inner diameter of the left lid portion 772 is formed to be larger than the outer diameter of the tooth surface 881a of the left rotating portion 880, which will be described later. As a result, the left lid portion 772 is arranged with the left rotating portion 880 of the rotating body 800 inserted through the inner portion of the annular shape.

Further, the left side lid portion 772 is formed with a plate-shaped sensor plate 772a projecting to the outside (left side when viewed from the front) of the decorative unit 750. The sensor plate 772a can detect the position of the left side lid portion 772 by arranging the sensor plate 772a between facing the bifurcated sensors (not shown).

Here, the lid member 770 with respect to the rotating body 800 will be described. The arrangement of the lid member 770 in the state where the rotating body 800 is assembled is a state in which the left and right ends of the rotating body 800 are inserted inside the right side lid portion 773 and the left side lid portion 772 before assembly (separate member). To do. Then, the rotating body 800 and the lid member 770 are connected by assembling the right lid portion 773, the left lid portion 772, and the curved lid portion 771. Therefore, the lid member 770 is rotatable with respect to the rotating body about the axis of the rotating body 800.

The rotation restricting member 780 is formed by bending in a substantially L-shape in a side view. The rotation restricting member 780 is mainly provided with a shaft hole 781 penetrating the bent portion, a protrusion 782 protruding toward one end in the bending direction, and a contact surface 783 formed flat at the tip on the other end side. Will be done.

As described above, the shaft portion 765b of the left side surface plate 765 is inserted into the shaft hole 781. As a result, the rotation regulating member 780 is rotatably held with respect to the left side surface plate 765. Further, the urging spring SP5 is inserted into the shaft portion. As a result, a rotational force in one direction is applied to the rotation restricting member 780.

The protrusion 782 can regulate the rotational displacement of the rotating body 800 by engaging with the engaging protrusion 882 of the left rotating portion 880, which will be described later. The contact surface 783 is a surface to which the end portion on the back surface side of the lid member 770 described above abuts, and the rotation restricting member 780 can be rotated by abutting the lid member 770. The mode of regulation between the rotation regulating member 780 and the rotating body 800 will be described later.

Next, the transmission path of the driving force when the driving motor KM4 is rotated will be described with reference to FIGS. 95 to 96. 95 (a) and 96 (a) are the rotating unit 700 in the direction of arrow XCVa of FIG. 89, and FIGS. 95 (b) and 96 (b) are the rotating unit 700 in the arrow XCVb of FIG. 89. is there.

In FIG. 95, the displacement direction of each member when the axis of the drive motor KM4 is rotated in the positive direction (clockwise) is illustrated by a two-dot chain line. In FIG. 96, when the axis of the drive motor KM4 is rotated in the negative direction (counterclockwise), the displacement direction of each member is illustrated by a two-dot chain line.

As shown in FIGS. 95A and 95B, when the drive motor KM4 is driven in the positive direction, the transmission gear 731a is rotated in the positive direction. When the transmission gear 731a is rotated in the positive direction, the transmission gear 731b is rotated in the negative direction and the transmission gear 731c is rotated in the positive direction.

In this case, the one-way clutch OW1 disposed on the transmission gear 731b does not transmit the rotation of the outer ring to the inner ring, and the shaft portion JB1 does not rotate. Therefore, the driving force is not transmitted to the rotating member 741 connected to the shaft portion JB1, and the arm member 742 is stopped.

On the other hand, the one-way clutch OW1 disposed on the transmission gear 731 is in a state of transmitting the rotation of the outer ring to the inner ring, and the shaft 735 is rotated. Therefore, the transmission gear 731d connected to the shaft 735 is rotated. As a result, the load gear 731e meshed with the transmission gear 731d and the tooth surface 881a of the rotating body 800 are rotated. That is, when the drive motor KM4 rotates in the forward direction, the driving force to the lid member 770 is not transmitted, and the driving force to the rotating body 800 is transmitted.

As shown in FIGS. 96A and 96B, when the drive motor KM4 is driven in the negative direction, the transmission gear 731a is rotated in the negative direction. When the transmission gear 731a is rotated in the negative direction, the transmission gear 731b is rotated in the positive direction and the transmission gear 731c is rotated in the negative direction.

In this case, the one-way clutch OW1 disposed on the transmission gear 731b is in a state of transmitting the rotation of the outer ring to the inner ring, and the shaft portion JB1 is rotated. Therefore, the driving force is transmitted to the rotating member 741 connected to the shaft portion JB1, and the rotating member 741 is rotated. As a result, the arm member 742 rotates and reciprocates around the axis of the shaft hole 742a, and the lid member 770 is displaced.

On the other hand, in the one-way clutch OW1 arranged on the transmission gear 731, the rotation of the outer ring is not transmitted to the inner ring, and the shaft 735 is not rotated. Therefore, the driving force is not transmitted to the transmission gear 731d connected to the shaft 735, and the rotating body 800 and the load gear 731e are in the non-rotating state. That is, when the drive motor KM4 makes a negative rotation, the driving force to the lid member 770 is in a transmitted state, and the driving force to the rotating body 800 is not transmitted.

Therefore, the transmission gear 731b (displacement side transmission means) that transmits the driving force from the drive motor KM4 to the opening / closing member 870 described later via the transmission gear 731c (rotation side drive means) that transmits the drive force to the rotating body 800 and the lid member 770. By disposing the one-way clutch OW1, the rotational force can be transmitted to one of the transmission gear 731c or the transmission gear 731b and the transmission to the other can be blocked according to the rotation direction of the drive motor KM4. .. As a result, the drive target to be driven can be switched only by switching the rotation direction of the drive motor KM4, that is, the rotation of the rotating body 800 and its rotation according to the rotation direction of the drive motor KM4. The stop can be switched between the displacement of the opening / closing member 870 and the stop thereof, and the structure can be simplified while making it possible to form a plurality of modes.

Here, in a structure in which the drive target (rotating body 800 or opening / closing member 870 (lid member 770)) is switched according to the rotation direction of the drive means using the one-way clutch OW1, the drive force is transmitted from the drive motor KM4. When it is cut off, it becomes free to rotate or displace in the direction driven by the driving force. Therefore, for example, the driving target of the driving means is switched from the rotating body 800 to the opening / closing member 870 (lid member 770). When the transmission of the driving force is cut off, the rotating body 800 becomes rotatable and may continue to rotate (rotate) due to the inertial force.

On the other hand, in the present embodiment, since the load gear 731e (load gear) meshed with the transmission gear 731d driven by the transmission gear 731c is provided, the transmission of the rotational driving force from the drive motor KM4 is cut off. However, the load (resistance) when rotating the load gear 731e can be used to prevent the rotating body 800 from being continuously rotated.

Next, the displacement of the lid member 770 will be described with reference to FIGS. 97 and 98. 97 (a) and 98 (c) are in the closed state, FIGS. 97 (b) and 98 (b) are in the intermediate state, and FIGS. 97 (c) and 98 (a) are in the open state. It is a side view of the decoration unit 750 and the right side transmission member 740.

In addition, in FIGS. 97 (a) to 97 (c) and 98 (a) to 98 (c), the state in which the crank cover 743 of the right side transmission member 740 is removed is shown. Further, the closed state of the decorative unit 750 is a state in which the lid member 770 is arranged so as to cover the upper half surface (upper side of FIG. 97 (a)) of the rotating body 800, and the open state is a state in which the lid member 770 rotates. It is in a state of being displaced and arranged on the back side (right side of FIG. 97C) of the rotating body 800. The intermediate state is a state in which the lid member 770 is arranged at a position between the closed state and the open state.

Further, in FIGS. 97 (a) to 97 (c), the states of being displaced from the closed state to the open state are shown in order, and in FIGS. 98 (a) to 98 (c), the displacement from the open state to the closed state is shown. The states to be displacement are shown in order.

First, with reference to FIG. 97, the displacement of the lid member 770 when the lid member is displaced from the closed state to the open state will be described. The driving force is transmitted to the arm member 742 by rotating the driving motor KM4 in the negative direction as described above.

In the closed state, the protrusion 741a of the rotating member 741 is arranged on the back side (right side of FIG. 97A) of the shaft hole 742a of the arm member 742. Therefore, in the arm member 742, the first sliding groove 742b into which the protrusion 741a is inserted is arranged on the back surface side of the shaft hole 742a.

The shaft hole 742a, the first sliding groove 742b, and the second sliding groove 742c of the arm member 742 are formed on substantially the same straight line. Therefore, the second sliding groove 742c formed at the end opposite to the first sliding groove 742b is arranged on the front side (left side in FIG. 97 (a)) of the shaft hole 742a. As a result, the protrusion 773a protruding from the right side surface of the lid member 770 is guided by the second sliding groove 742c, and the curved lid portion 771 of the lid member 770 is arranged above the rotating body 800.

Next, as shown in FIG. 97 (b), when the rotating member 741 is rotated by approximately 90 degrees and the protrusion 741a is positioned below the axis of the rotating member 741, the first sliding groove 742b of the arm member 742 is formed. With the displacement of the protrusion 741a, the shaft hole 742a is displaced to the lower side in the gravity direction (lower side in FIG. 97B).

Therefore, the second sliding groove 742c formed at the opposite end of the first sliding groove 742b is arranged on the upper side of the shaft hole 742a in the gravity direction (upper side in FIG. 97B). As a result, the protrusion 773a of the lid member 770 is guided by the second sliding groove 742c, and the curved lid portion 771 of the lid member 770 is placed at a position where it is rotationally displaced toward the back surface side of the rotating body 800. ..

In this case, the position of the center of gravity of the lid member 770 is arranged on the back side of the rotation axis of the lid member 770 (the center position of the rotating body 800 formed in a columnar shape). Therefore, due to the load of the lid member 770, a rotational force is applied in the direction of displace the lid member 770 from the closed state to the open state. As described above, the rotating member 741 is provided with the one-way clutch OW1 so that the outer ring can rotate in advance of the inner ring. Therefore, the drive of the drive motor KM4 is stopped by the load of the lid member 770. The lid member 770 can be continuously rotated.

As shown in FIG. 97 (c), when the lid member 770 is displaced to the back surface side of the rotating body, the protrusion 741a of the rotating member 741 is stopped at a position rotated by approximately 90 degrees from the position in the intermediate state. That is, it is the leftmost end (left side in FIG. 97) of the displacement region of the protrusion 741a. Therefore, the rotation of the arm member 742 is restricted, and the rotation of the lid member 770 is stopped.

That is, the displacement of the lid member 770 from the closed state to the open state is performed by an operation of driving the drive motor KM4 to displace it in the intermediate state and an operation of loading and dropping the lid member 770.

As a result, when the lid member 770 is displaced from the closed state to the open state, the section for driving the drive motor KM4 can be halved from the entire section, so that the energy consumption of the drive motor KM4 can be reduced.

Further, the displacement speed from the closed state to the intermediate state can be set to follow the rotational speed of the drive motor KM4, and the displacement speed from the intermediate state to the open state can be set to follow the load of the lid member 770. The displacement speed from the closed state to the open state can be changed in two stages. Therefore, since the displacement speed of the lid member 770 can be changed without changing the displacement speed of the drive motor KM4, it is not necessary to complicate the control. As a result, control can be simplified and control failure can be suppressed.

The displacement section in which the lid member 770 follows the rotation speed of the drive motor KM4 is referred to as a first section, the displacement section in which the lid member 770 follows the load of the lid member 770 is referred to as a second section, and the first section is designated by the reference numeral DK1. Will be described with a DK2 reference numeral in the second section.

Next, with reference to FIG. 98, the displacement of the lid member 770 when the lid member is displaced from the open state to the closed state will be described.

As described above, in the open state, the protrusion 741a of the rotating member 741 is arranged on the front side (left side in FIG. 98 (a)) of the shaft hole 742a of the arm member 742, and the curved lid of the lid member 770. It is assumed that the portion 771 is arranged on the back surface side of the rotating body 800.

Next, as shown in FIG. 98 (b), when the rotating member 741 is rotated by approximately 90 degrees and the protrusion 741a is positioned above the axis of the rotating member 741, the first sliding groove 742b of the arm member 742 is formed. With the displacement of the protrusion 741a, the shaft hole 742a is displaced to the lower side in the direction of gravity (lower side in FIG. 98B).

Therefore, the second sliding groove 742c formed at the opposite end of the first sliding groove 742b is arranged on the upper side of the shaft hole 742a in the gravity direction (upper side in FIG. 98B). As a result, the protrusion 773a of the lid member 770 is guided by the second sliding groove 742c, and the curved lid portion 771 of the lid member 770 is rotationally displaced upward by approximately 45 degrees from the state where the curved lid portion 771 is positioned on the back surface side of the rotating body 800. It is said that it is placed in the position where it was made.

Further, the lid member 770 displaced to the closed position (position in FIG. 97 (a)) is arranged in the game area (front side of the game board 13) and is located in the open position (FIG. 97 (c)). The lid member 770 displaced to (position) is arranged outside the area of the game area (on the back side of the game board 13). Therefore, it is possible to prevent the game ball flowing down the game area from colliding with the rotating body 800 and rotating the rotating body 800. In particular, in the present embodiment, as will be described later, the rotating body 800 is provided with an opening / closing member 870 that is displaced toward the game area side, so that the game machine flowing down the game area collides with the opening / closing member 870. It is possible to prevent the opening / closing member 870 from being opened (overhanging).

Further, since the lid member 770 is arranged outside the game area in the open position, the displacement of the lid member 770 to the open position provides a space for the opening / closing member 870 to project into the game area. Can be secured. Therefore, the outer surface of the rotating body 800 can be brought closer to the game area side by that amount, and the opening / closing member 870 can be easily made visible to the player.

Further, the lid member 770 is rotatably formed around an axis substantially parallel to the rotation axis of the rotating body 800, and is formed in a curved plate shape along the outer surface of the rotating body 800, so that it is in a closed state. The space required for displacement between the position (covering position) and the open position (retracted position) can be suppressed, and therefore a space for arranging other members can be secured accordingly. Further, by forming the lid member 770 in a curved shape in this way, it is possible to prevent the game ball flowing down the game area from being stopped on the lid member 770 arranged at the closed position, and to make it smooth. Can be flowed down to.

Next, as shown in FIG. 98 (c), when the rotating member 741 is further rotated by approximately 90 degrees and the protrusion 71a is displaced to the right side of the axis of the rotating member 741, the first sliding groove 742b of the arm member 742 is generated. Is displaced to the back surface side (right side of FIG. 98 (c)) of the shaft hole 742a as the protrusion 741a is displaced.

Therefore, the second sliding groove 742c formed at the end opposite to the first sliding groove 742b is arranged on the front side (left side in FIG. 98C) with respect to the shaft hole 742a. As a result, the protrusion 773a of the lid member 770 is guided by the second sliding groove 742c, and the curved lid portion 771 of the lid member 770 is arranged above the rotating body 800.

In this case, the position of the center of gravity of the lid member 770 is displaced to the front side of the rotation axis of the lid member 770 with the displacement of the lid member 770. Therefore, in the middle of the intermediate state to the closed state, the load of the lid member 770 exerts a rotational force in the direction of displacement the lid member 770 from the open state to the closed state. Therefore, even when the drive of the drive motor KM4 is stopped, the lid member 770 can be continuously rotated by the load of the lid member 770.

Therefore, since the lid member 770 can be closed by the load of the lid member 770, the lid member 770 can be surely closed.

Here, if the rotational displacement of the lid member 770 is displaced only by the drive motor KM4, there is a possibility that the lid member 770 cannot be stopped at a normal position when the drive stop operation of the drive motor KM4 is deviated. Further, as in the present embodiment, when the rotating member 741 has one rotation direction and the stop operation of the drive motor KM4 is delayed, one rotation is required to return to the normal position.

On the other hand, in the present embodiment, the position where the lid member 770 is stopped can be mechanically stopped by using the load of the lid member 770, so that the stop position of the lid member 770 can be prevented from shifting. it can.

Here, a game machine including a driving means for generating a driving force, a displacement member displaced by the driving force of the driving force, and a transmitting means for transmitting the driving force to the displacement member is known. However, in the above-mentioned conventional gaming machine, the transmission state of the driving force by the transmitting means from the driving means to the displacement member is always constant. Therefore, when the driving means is driven at a constant driving speed, the displacement member is also constant. It is displaced at a speed, and it is not possible to give a change to the displacement mode of the displacement member. Therefore, there is a problem that the effect of the effect due to the displacement of the displacement member is insufficient.

Although the displacement speed of the displacement member can be changed by increasing or decreasing the drive speed of the drive means, the displacement speed in a predetermined section of the displacement section of the displacement member is different from the displacement speed in other sections. In order to increase the speed, it is necessary to arrange a sensor device that detects the position of the displacement member and control to increase or decrease the output of the drive means according to the detection result of the sensor device, which increases the product cost and control cost. Invite. In addition, the structure and control become complicated, resulting in a decrease in reliability.

On the other hand, in the present embodiment, the transmission means (rotating member 741 and arm member 742) includes the one-way clutch OW1, and the inner ring (first member) of the one-way clutch OW1 becomes the outer ring (second member) of the one-way clutch OW1. On the other hand, when the inner ring is displaced in one direction, the roller engages with the inner ring and the outer ring to transmit the driving force, and when the inner ring is displaced in the other direction with respect to the outer ring, the inner ring and the outer ring The engagement of the roller with the outer ring is released, the transmission of the driving force is cut off, and in the second section DK2 (predetermined section) of the displacement section of the lid member 770 (displacement member), the outer ring is attached to the inner ring. Since it is displaced in one direction, the displacement speed of the lid member 770 in the second section DK2 can be made faster than the displacement speed of the lid member 770 in the other section regardless of the driving state of the rotating member 741. .. Therefore, it is possible to give a change to the lid member 770 and enhance the effect of the displacement of the lid member 770.

Further, since the outer ring can be preceded by the inner ring in one direction regardless of the driving state of the driving motor KM4, for example, the driving motor KM4 can be driven at a constant driving speed in the entire section of the displacement section of the lid member 770. It can be driven, and it is not necessary to increase or decrease the drive speed of the drive motor KM4 in the middle of the displacement section of the lid member 770 (that is, depending on whether it is the first section DK1 or the second section DK2). As a result, the control can be simplified, the control cost can be reduced, and the reliability of the operation can be improved. Alternatively, in the second section DK2, the operation of the driving means can be stopped, and in this case, energy consumption can be suppressed.

Further, in the driving state in which the inner ring is displaced in the other direction with respect to the outer ring, the roller is disengaged and the transmission of the driving force is cut off, so that the displacement member is in the stopped state (driven state). The driving force of the driving means (driving motor KM4) in such a driving state can be used as a driving force for driving the rotating body 800. That is, the two members, the lid member 770 and the rotating body 800, can be displaced by switching the drive direction of the drive means (drive motor KM4).

Further, the lid member 770 is rotatably formed and its center of gravity is arranged at a position eccentric from the center of rotation. In the second section DK2, the weight of the lid member 770 displaces the outer ring in one direction. Since it is formed so as to be able to act in the direction, the outer ring can be displaced in advance in one direction with respect to the inner ring by utilizing the weight of the lid member 770. That is, the displacement speed of the lid member 770 in the second section DK2 can be made faster than the displacement speed of the lid member 770 in the section of the first section DK1. As a result, it is possible to give a change to the displacement mode of the lid member 770 and enhance the effect of the displacement of the displacement member.

Further, the transmission of the driving force is projected from the main body portion 741b to which the outer ring of the one-way clutch OW1 is attached and the main body portion 741b thereof, and the protrusion 741a (pin portion) located displaced from the rotation center of the main body portion 741c. Since it is performed by the rotating member 741 (crank member) having the above and the arm member 742, the rotating member 741 is rotated by the outer ring, and the protrusion 741a is slid along the first sliding groove 742b, whereby the rotating member 741 The other end side (second sliding groove 742c side) can be reciprocated. In this case, the other end side of the arm member 742 can reciprocate the lid member 770 between the open position and the closed position as the lid member 770 reciprocates. That is, the displacement direction of the lid member 770 can be switched without switching the drive direction of the drive motor KM4.

Further, in this case, since the section of the second section DK can be formed in both the reciprocating motions, when the lid member 770 is reciprocated, the lid member 770 is displaced in any direction from the middle of the displacement. The displacement speed of the lid member 770 can be increased, and as a result, the displacement mode of the lid member 770 can be changed to enhance the effect of the displacement of the lid member.

Next, the displacement of the rotation restricting member 780 will be described with reference to FIG. 99. FIG. 99 (a) is a side view of the decorative unit 750 in the closed state, and FIG. 99 (b) is a side view of the decorative unit 750 in the open state. In addition, in FIG. 99A and FIG. 99B, the state in which the left side surface plate 765 of the box member 760 is viewed transparently is shown.

As shown in FIG. 99A, when the lid member 770 is closed, the rotation restricting member 780 is in a state in which the protrusion 782 side is pushed downward by the urging force of the urging spring SP5 (FIG. 99). In (a), the state is rotated clockwise around the axis of the shaft hole 781).

Therefore, the distance dimension L4 from the rotating shaft of the rotating body 800 to the outside of the engaging protrusion 882 is smaller than the distance dimension L5 from the rotating shaft of the rotating body 800 to the tip of the protrusion 782 of the rotation regulating member 780 (L4). <L5).

Therefore, the rotating body 800 and the rotation restricting member 780 are not engaged with each other, and the rotating body 800 is made rotatable.

On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 99B, when the lid member 770 is in the open state, the rotation restricting member 780 is a lid member 770 in which the contact surface 783 is displaced to the back surface side of the rotating body 800. It is considered that the contact surface 783 is in contact with the contact surface and is pushed downward (in FIG. 99 (b), the contact surface 783 is rotated counterclockwise about the axis of the shaft hole 781).

Therefore, the distance dimension L4 from the rotating shaft of the rotating body 800 to the outside of the engaging protrusion 882 is made larger than the distance dimension L6 from the rotating shaft of the rotating body 800 to the tip of the protrusion 782 of the rotation regulating member 780 (L6). <L4).

As a result, the protrusion 782 of the rotation restricting member 780 can be inserted inside the engaging protrusion 882 in the rotating body 800 in which the engaging protrusion 882 of the left rotating portion 880 is arranged at the lowermost position in the direction of gravity. That is, since the rotating body 800 and the rotation restricting member 780 are engaged with each other, the rotating body 800 is made non-rotatable. In the present embodiment, the position where the rotating body 800 cannot be rotated (the position where the protrusion 782 is inserted inside the engaging protrusion 882) is the position where the opening / closing member 870 of the rotating body 800, which will be described later, is opened. Is set to.

That is, in the rotation regulating member 780 (rotation regulating means) that regulates the rotation of the rotating body 800, the opening / closing member 870 (displacement member) is displaced to the open position (second position), and the other side of the displacement member is stretched in the game area. Since the rotation of the rotating body 800 is restricted when it is pulled out, the rotating body 800 is rotated with the opening / closing member 870 overhanging, and the opening / closing member 870 interferes with other members located on the rotation locus. Can be suppressed. Further, it is possible to suppress the rotation of the rotating body 800 due to the load acting when the displacement member receives the game ball flowing down the game area and the weight of the game ball rolling on the upper surface of the displacement member.

Here, a state in which the first member and the second member formed so as to be displaceable are provided, and the first member is arranged at an lining position that invisiblely covers at least a part of the second member and a lining position thereof. There is known a gaming machine that is formed so as to be displaceable from a retracted position that reduces an area that invisiblely covers the second member. According to this game machine, the second member is exposed by arranging the first member in the lining position and displacing the first member in the retracted position from the state where the second member is invisible to the player. It is possible to make the player visually recognize the effect.

However, in the conventional gaming machine described above, since the second member is formed so as to be displaceable, there is a possibility that the second member will be displaced when the second member is exposed. Therefore, there is a problem that the player cannot visually recognize the second member in an appropriate state, and the effect of the effect is reduced.

On the other hand, according to the present embodiment, the displacement of the rotating body 800 (second member) can be regulated when the lid member 770 (first member) is displaced to the open position (retracted position). Since it is formed, the rotating body 800 can be visually recognized by the player in an appropriate state, and the effect of the effect can be ensured. That is, when the lid member 770 is displaced to the open position to expose the rotating body 800, the displacement of the lid member 770 to the open position, which must be performed for the effect, is rotated. It is used as a means of regulating the displacement of the body 800. Therefore, it is not necessary to separately provide or control a mechanism for regulating the displacement of the rotating body 800, and the structure can be simplified accordingly.

Further, as will be described later, the shape of the outer peripheral surface of the rotating body 800 is formed asymmetrically from the center of rotation (see FIG. 101). Therefore, the rotating body 800 is rotatably formed and its center of gravity is eccentric from the center of rotation, so that the degree of freedom in designing the rotating body 800 can be increased. That is, it is not necessary for the rotating body 800 to have a shape whose center of gravity is located at the center of rotation, and a shape asymmetrical with respect to the rotation axis can be adopted, so that the effect of the rotating body 800 can be enhanced. On the other hand, if the position of the center of gravity of the rotating body 800 is eccentric in this way, the rotating body 800 is displaced to the closed position by the gravity of the rotating body 800 due to rotation (may rotate) around the center of rotation. A configuration in which the lid member 770 is formed so that the displacement of the rotating body 800 can be regulated is particularly effective, whereby the rotating body 800 can be visually recognized by the player in an appropriate state, and the effect of effect can be ensured.

The rotating body 800 may be formed symmetrically about the axis. In this case, by forming the rotating body 800 from two or more members having different specific gravities, the position of the center of gravity thereof can be arranged at a position different from the rotation axis. For example, by forming one half surface from a metal material and the other half surface from a flexible material, the center of gravity can be generally positioned on the metal material side having a higher specific gravity than the flexible material.

Next, the configuration of the rotating body 800 will be described with reference to FIGS. 100 to 102. 100 (a) is a front view of the rotating body 800, FIG. 100 (b) is a side view of the rotating body 800 in the direction of arrow Cb of FIG. 100 (a), and FIG. 100 (c) is a side view of the rotating body 800. It is a side view of the rotating body 800 in the direction view of arrow Cc of FIG. 100A. FIG. 101 is an exploded perspective front view of the rotating body 800, and FIG. 102 is an exploded perspective rear view of the rotating body 800.

As shown in FIGS. 100 to 102, the rotating body 800 is formed in a columnar shape by combining a plurality of members. The rotating body 800 includes a base plate 810 arranged on a shaft portion, and a first display unit 830, a second display unit 840, a third display unit 850, and a fourth display unit 830 arranged so as to surround the base plate 810 and combined in an annular shape. A display unit 860, a right-handed rotating unit 89 arranged at one end in the axial direction, a left-handed rotating unit 880 arranged at the other end in the axial direction, and an opening / closing member arranged inside the first display unit 830. It is formed mainly with 870.

The base plate 810 has a substantially L-shaped cross section in the axial direction and is formed in a shape extending in the axial direction. The base plate 810 is formed to include a right end portion 811 and a left end portion 812 that project outward from both left and right ends.

The right end portion 811 is formed so as to project in an annular shape from the right side of the base plate 810 when viewed from the front (right side in FIG. 100A). The right end portion 811 is formed mainly provided with a tip portion 811a that partially protrudes from the protruding tip of the right end portion 811 and a communication hole 811b that is an inner portion of the annular shape.

The tip portion 811a is further projected in the axial direction from the tip portion of the right end portion 811, and the protruding region in the right side view (direction view in FIG. 100C) is inside the engaging portion 764e of the right side plate 764. Is set smaller than the area of. The tip portion 811a is inserted inside the engaging portion 764e of the right side plate 764 as described above. As a result, the base plate 810 and the right side surface plate 764 (lid member 770) are brought into an engaged state. As a result, the base plate 810 can be stopped with respect to the rotational displacement of each display surface (first display unit 830, second display unit 840, third display unit 850, and fourth display unit 860) described later.

The communication hole 811b is an opening through which a wiring (not shown) connected to the LED board 820, which will be described later, is inserted, and is formed through the side surface on the right side of the base plate 810 when viewed from the front. As a result, the wiring can be inserted.

The left end portion 812 is formed so as to project in an annular shape from the left side (left side in FIG. 100A) of the base plate 810 when viewed from the front. The left end portion 812 is formed mainly including a tip portion 812a protruding from the lower semicircle of the left end portion 812 and a communication hole 812b in the inner portion of the annular shape.

The tip portion 812a is further projected in the axial direction from the tip portion of the left end portion 812, and the protruding shape in the left side view (direction view in FIG. 100B) is an annular lower semicircle.

The communication hole 812b is a path for discharging the ball thrown into the rotating body 800 by the opening / closing member 870 described later to the outside of the rotating body 800. The inner diameter of the communication hole 812b is set to be larger than that of the sphere, and is set to be substantially the same as the through hole 733a formed in the gear cover 733.

Further, the communication hole 812b is an opening connected to the through hole 733a of the gear cover 733, and the protruding distance of the left end portion 812 is set to the distance of contact with the through hole 733a. Further, a protrusion 733b is formed on the upper hemisphere of the end face of the through hole 733a. The protrusion distance of the protrusion 733b is set to be substantially the same as the protrusion distance of the tip portion 812a. As a result, the base plate 810 and the gear cover 733 (left side transmission member 730) are brought into an engaged state. As a result, the base plate 810 can be stopped with respect to the rotational displacement of each display surface (first display unit 830, second display unit 840, third display unit 850, and fourth display unit 860) described later.

A reverse rotation prevention member 813 is arranged on the bottom surface of the base plate 810 in a rotatable state. The reverse rotation prevention member 813 is formed in a substantially circular shape when viewed from above, and a protrusion 813a inclined on one end side is formed. Further, in the reverse rotation prevention member 813, an urging spring SP6 is arranged between the reverse rotation prevention member 813 and the base plate 810, whereby the protrusion 813a is always urged to the left side in the front view (left side in FIG. 100A). It is said that.

The right-handed rotating portion 890 is formed in a plate shape having a predetermined thickness and is formed in an annular shape in a side view. The right-handed rotating portion 890 is formed so that the inner diameter inside the annulus is larger than the size of the right end portion 811 of the base plate 810. As a result, the right end portion 811 of the base plate 810 can be inserted inside the right rotation portion 890. Further, the right-handed rotating portion 890 is mainly provided with a shaft hole 891 penetrating in the left-right direction and a sliding groove 892 that is curved and opened around the shaft hole 891.

The shaft hole 891 is a hole into which the shaft portion 872 of the opening / closing member 870, which will be described later, is inserted, and is formed to have an inner diameter larger than the outer diameter of the shaft portion 872. As a result, it is possible to prevent the shaft portion 872 of the opening / closing member 870 from being displaced with respect to the first display portion 830.

The sliding groove 892 is formed in a curved shape centered on the shaft hole 891, and its radius is set to be the same as the separation distance to the protrusion 871 and the shaft portion 872 of the opening / closing member 870. As a result, the protrusion 871 of the opening / closing member 870 is inserted into the sliding groove 892, so that the protrusion 871 can be slid inside the sliding groove 892 when the opening / closing member 870 is displaced.

The counterclockwise rotating portion 880 is formed in a plate shape having a predetermined thickness and is formed in an annular shape in a side view. The counterclockwise rotating portion 880 is formed so that the inner diameter inside the annulus is larger than the size of the left end portion 812 of the base plate 810. As a result, the left end portion 812 of the base plate 810 can be inserted inside the counterclockwise rotating portion 880. Further, the counterclockwise rotating portion 880 mainly includes a wall portion 881 protruding from the inner edge portion in an annular shape, an engaging protrusion 882 protruding from the side wall, and a locking portion 883 in which inclined surfaces are continuously arranged on the inner edge portion. Formed in preparation.

The wall portion 881 is formed so as to project to the left side of the rotating body 800 when viewed from the front. The wall portion 881 is provided with a communication hole 881b that opens inward while having a gear tooth surface 881a engraved on the outer peripheral surface of the protruding tip. The tooth surface 881a is meshed with the transmission gear 881d as described above. As a result, the driving force of the driving motor KM4 can be transmitted to the rotating body 800.

The communication hole 881b is an opening that communicates the internal space and the external space of the rotating body 800, and the ball thrown into the rotating body 800 can be discharged by opening the opening / closing member 870 described later.

As described above, the engaging protrusion 882 is a protrusion to which the rotation restricting member 780 is engaged. The engaging protrusion 882 is formed so as to project from the left side surface of the counterclockwise rotating portion 880 when viewed from the front. Further, two engaging protrusions 882 are formed at positions separated by a predetermined distance, and a protrusion 782 of the rotation restricting member 780 is formed so as to be inserted between the two engaging protrusions 882.

The cross section of the locking portion 883 is formed in a serrated shape. When the counterclockwise rotation portion 880 is arranged on the base plate 810, the tip of the protrusion 813a of the reverse rotation prevention member 813 described above is in contact with the locking portion 883. As a result, when a rotational force that rotates the left rotating portion 880 in one direction acts, the protrusion 813a can be slid along the inclined surface of the locking portion 883 to rotate the left rotating portion 880. When a rotational force that rotates the left rotating portion 880 in the other direction acts, the surface of the locking portion 883 is caught by the protrusion 813a and the rotation is suppressed.

As a result, it is possible to regulate that the rotating body 800 is rotated in the direction opposite to the direction in which the rotating body 800 is rotated by the rotational driving force of the drive motor KM4. Therefore, for example, the position of the center of gravity of the rotating body 800 is biased or the game ball. It is possible to prevent the rotating body from rotating in the reverse direction due to a collision or the like.

The first display unit 830 to the fourth display unit 860 are each formed in the same curved shape, and can be formed into one annular shape by connecting the end faces of the first display unit 830 to the fourth display unit 860. Further, the inner diameters of the first display unit 830 to the fourth display unit 860 formed into one ring are set to be substantially the same as the outer diameters of the left and right rotating units 880 and 890. Thereby, by arranging the display units 830 to 860 on the left and right rotating units 880 and 890, the first display unit 830 to the fourth display unit 860 can be formed into one columnar shape.

In addition, characters and patterns are drawn on the first display unit 830 to the fourth display unit 860, respectively, and as described above, the characters and patterns are rotated by being transmitted from the counterclockwise rotation unit 880 to rotate each character. And patterns can be made visible to the player.

The first display portion 830 is mainly provided with an opening 831 opened on the curved surface thereof and a bearing portion 832 which is open to the shaft side and is formed so as to project in a U shape.

The opening 831 is an opening in which an opening / closing member 870, which will be described later, is arranged, and is formed in an opening having an inner diameter substantially the same as the outer shape of the opening / closing member 870. The bearing portion 832 is formed in a size such that the shaft portion 872 of the opening / closing member 870 can be inserted into the open U-shaped portion. Therefore, by inserting the opening / closing member 870 into the opening 831 and inserting the shaft portion 872 of the opening / closing member 870 into the bearing portion 832, the opening / closing member 870 can be rotationally displaced with respect to the first display portion 830. The displacement mode of the opening / closing member 870 will be described later.

The LED board 820 can emit the LED light mounted on the LED board 820 by supplying electric power. Further, the LED board 820 is attached to the back side of the base plate 810.

Next, opening and closing of the opening / closing member 870 will be described with reference to FIG. 103. FIG. 103A is a side view of the rotating body 800 when the opening / closing member 870 is closed. FIG. 103 (b) is a side view of the rotating body 800 when the opening / closing member 870 is in the open state. In FIG. 103, when the opening / closing member 870 overlaps with another member, its outer diameter is shown by a chain line.

The closed state of the opening / closing member 870 is a state in which the outer peripheral surface of the opening / closing member 870 is arranged substantially parallel to the outer peripheral surface of the first display unit 830. On the other hand, the open state of the opening / closing member 870 is a state in which the outer peripheral surface of the opening / closing member 870 is arranged so as to intersect the outer peripheral surface of the first display unit 830.

As shown in FIG. 103 (a), in the rotating body 800 in the closed state of the opening / closing member 870, the protrusion 871 of the opening / closing member 870 is on one end side of the sliding groove 892 of the right rotating portion 890 (the shaft in FIG. 103 (a)). It is located on the lower side of the portion 872).

On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 103B, in the rotating body 800 in the open state of the opening / closing member 870, the protrusion 871 of the opening / closing member 870 is located on the other end side of the sliding groove 892 of the right rotating portion 890. That is, the displacement of the opening / closing member 870 is performed by the protrusion 871 sliding inside the sliding groove 892 of the clockwise rotating portion 890.

Next, the displacement of the protrusion 871 will be described with reference to FIG. 104. 104 (a) and 104 (b) are side views of the decorative unit 750. In addition, in FIG. 104A and FIG. 104B, the right side surface plate 764 of the box member 760 is shown in a transparent state.

Further, in FIG. 104 (a), a state in which the decorative unit 750 is in the closed state and the opening / closing member 870 is in the closed state is shown. FIG. 104 (b) shows a state in which the decorative unit 750 is in the open state and the opening / closing member 870 is in the open state.

As shown in FIG. 104 (a), when the decorative unit 750 is closed, the outer edge of the right lid 773 is in contact with the protrusion 871. When the decorative unit 750 is closed, the outer diameter L7 from the rotating shaft on the lower half surface of the right lid portion 773 is smaller than the distance L8 from the shaft of the right rotating portion 890 to one end side of the sliding groove 892 (L7). <L8).

Further, the difference in dimensions between L7 and L8 is set to be substantially the same as the outer diameter of the protrusion 871. Therefore, when the outer edge of the right lid 773 is in contact with the protrusion 871, the protrusion 871 is displaced toward one end of the sliding groove 892. As a result, the opening / closing member 870 is closed. That is, when the decorative unit 750 is closed, it is possible to prevent the opening / closing member 870 from being displaced to the open state.

As shown in FIG. 104 (b), when the decorative unit 750 is opened, the recess 773b formed in the outer edge portion is displaced with the displacement of the right lid portion 773. In this case, the protrusion 871 is inserted inside the recess 773b. As a result, the protrusion 871 can displace the sliding groove 892 to the other side. As a result, the opening / closing member 870 is opened by the urging force of the urging spring SP7 arranged between the shaft portion 872 and the first display portion 830.

As described above, the displacement of the opening / closing member 870 to the open state can be performed according to the displacement of the lid member 770. Therefore, since it is not necessary to dispose the drive source for driving the opening / closing member 870 on the rotating body 800, the rotating body 800 can be made small.

Further, the drive motor KM4 for displacing the opening / closing member 870 can also be used as a driving means for displacing the lid member 770. In this case, when the opening / closing member 870 and the lid member 770 are displaced by the driving forces of different driving means, the opening / closing member 870 and the lid member 770 may interfere with each other if a control failure occurs. And the lid member 770 can be mechanically connected to synchronize their displacements, so that interference between the opening / closing member 870 and the lid member 770 can be suppressed.

As shown in FIG. 104 (b), when the opening / closing member 870 is opened, the tip end side of the rotation is arranged above the winning opening 761a of the box member 760. As a result, the ball thrown from the throwing portion 711c of the ball cradle 710, which will be described later, can be dropped onto the upper surface of the opening / closing member 870.

In this case, the rotation tip side of the opening / closing member 870 is arranged above the shaft portion 872. Therefore, the sphere that falls on the upper surface can be rolled toward the inside of the rotating body 800. The game ball that is rolled inside the rotating body 800 is rolled onto the upper surface of the base plate 810 that is arranged inside the rotating body 800. Further, since the base plate 810 is in a state of being inclined downward toward the left end portion 812 side, the ball rolled on the upper surface of the base plate 810 is rolled toward the left end portion 812 side and rotated from the inside thereof. It can be discharged to the outside of the body 800. That is, the inside of the rotating body 800 can be used as a ball throwing path.

Further, as described above, the rotating body 800 is provided with the rotation restricting member 780 that regulates the rotation of the rotating body 800, so that the lid member 770 is displaced to the open position to expose the rotating body 800. When performing the effect, the effect of the effect can be further enhanced by further displacing the opening / closing member 870. On the other hand, the rotating body 800 may rotate (rotate). Therefore, it is particularly effective that the lid member 770 displaced to the open position is formed so that the displacement of the rotating body 800 can be regulated, whereby the rotating body 800 can be visually recognized by the player in an appropriate state. And the effect of production can be secured.

Here, there is known a gaming machine provided with a rotating member which is rotatably formed and whose outer surface around a rotation axis is arranged so as to be visible to a player. According to this game machine, the rotating member is formed in a cylindrical shape, and the display (design) on the outer peripheral surface thereof can be visually recognized by the player while rotating the rotating member or stopping the rotating member. However, the above-mentioned conventional gaming machine has a problem that the rotating member is insufficiently utilized because it is only used as a member for holding a display for the player to visually recognize on the outer surface thereof. .. That is, the rotating member is formed to be relatively large because it is necessary to hold a display that can be visually recognized by the player. Therefore, while the occupied space is large, the part other than the outer surface is not utilized.

On the other hand, according to the present embodiment, the rotating body 800 (rotating member) communicates the internal space formed inside the rotating body 800 to the outside, and also has an opening 831 and a communication hole 881b formed so that the game ball can pass through. (Communication port) is provided, so that the game ball flowing down the game area can flow into or out of the internal space through the opening 831 and the communication hole 881b. Therefore, the internal space of the rotating body 800, which is regarded as a dead space, can function as a storage space or a throwing passage for the game ball, and the rotating body 800 can be utilized accordingly.

Further, in the conventional game machine described above, since it is only possible to form an effect mode in which the display of the outer peripheral surface is visually recognized by the player when the rotating member is stopped, the effect of the effect is insufficient due to little change in the effect mode. There was a problem that it was.

On the other hand, according to the present embodiment, since the opening / closing member 870 (displacement member) displaceably arranged on the outer surface of the rotating body 800 (rotating member) is provided, the outer surface is generated as the rotating body 800 rotates or stops. In addition to the effect mode in which the player can visually recognize the display of, the effect mode in which the opening / closing member 870 is displaced can be formed, so that the effect mode can be changed accordingly and the effect effect can be enhanced.

When the lid member 770 (displacement member) is displaced to the closed position (first position), a part of the outer surface of the rotating body 800 (rotating member) is formed by the opening / closing member 870. It can be made smaller, and the space required for the rotating body 800 to rotate can be reduced accordingly. On the other hand, when the opening / closing member 870 is displaced to the open position (second position), the opening / closing member 870 protrudes outward in the radial direction of the rotating body 800, so that the displacement of the opening / closing member 870 can be easily visually recognized by the player. It can be done, and the effect of production can be enhanced. Further, the rotating body 800 is rotated with the opening / closing member 870 arranged at the closed position, and the opening / closing member 870 is arranged (displaced) at the open position when the rotation is stopped, so that the rotating body 800 can be used as an outer surface. The visually recognizable portion (opening / closing member 870) can form a mode in which the rotating body 800 protrudes outward in the radial direction, which can enhance the interest.

Further, an LED board 820 that emits light to the base plate 810 is arranged in the internal space of the rotating body 800. Therefore, when the opening / closing member 870 is set to the open position, the outer surface of the rotating body 800 is opened, the internal space is communicated to the outside, and the light emitted from the LED board 820 can be emitted to the outside. On the other hand, when the opening / closing member 870 is placed in the closed position, the outer surface of the rotating body 800 is closed, and the light emission from the LED board 820 can be blocked from being emitted to the outside. As a result, the effect of production can be enhanced.

Here, in order to make the rotating body 800 rotatable and to displace the opening / closing member 870 on the rotating body 800, a driving means is required for each of the rotating body 800 and the opening / closing member 870, and the product cost. Is bulky. Further, if the driving means for displacing the opening / closing member 870 is mounted on the rotating body 800, the weight of the rotating body 800 increases, so that it becomes difficult to smoothly start or stop the rotation of the rotating body 800.

On the other hand, according to the present embodiment, the opening / closing member 870 is displaced according to the displacement of the lid member 770, and the lid member 770 and the rotating body 800 are displaced by the same drive motor KM4. The rotating body 800 can be rotated and the opening / closing member 870 can be displaced by using the KM4 in combination. Therefore, the product cost can be reduced. Further, since it is not necessary to mount the driving means for displacing the opening / closing member on the rotating body 800, the weight of the rotating body 800 can be reduced, and the rotation of the rotating body 800 can be smoothly started or stopped.

Further, since the opening 831 (first communication port) and the communication hole 881b (second communication port) are formed at different positions, the opening 831 is used as an inflow port for the game ball to flow into the internal space from the outside, and the communication hole 881b is used. Can be used as an outlet for the game ball to flow out from the internal space to the outside. That is, the rotating body 800 can be used as a throwing passage for the game ball without rotating the rotating body 800 (rotating member) (while maintaining the stopped state).

Further, since the opening 831 is formed on the outer peripheral surface of the rotating body 800 and the communication hole 881b is formed on the axial end surface of the rotating body 800, the gaming ball into the internal space of the rotating body 800 (rotating member) can be formed. The inflow can be easily seen by the player, and the game ball can be discharged while the rotating body 800 is maintained in the stopped state.

That is, when the outer surface of the rotating body 800 is arranged so as to be visible to the player, an opening 831 (inflow port) is formed on the outer surface thereof, so that the inflow of the game ball can be easily made visible to the player. On the other hand, when the communication hole 881b is formed on the outer surface of the rotating body 800, if the rotating body 800 is arranged at the rotation position where the communication hole 881b is above, the game ball cannot flow out from the internal space. Since the communication hole 881b (outlet) is formed on the end surface of the rotating body 800 in the direction of the rotation axis, it is possible to form a state in which the game ball can flow out from the internal space regardless of the rotation position of the rotating body 800.

Further, a displaceable opening / closing member 870 (displacement member) is arranged inside the opening 831 (first communication port), and when the opening / closing member 870 is displaced to the closed position (first position), the opening 831 is opened. When the opening / closing member 870 is shielded and the opening / closing member 870 is displaced to the open position (second position), the opening 831 is opened, so that the inflow of the game ball through the opening 831 is switched between the shielded state and the allowable state. be able to.

Further, one side of the opening / closing member 870 (displacement member) is rotatably supported by the rotating body 800 (rotating member), and when the opening / closing member 870 is displaced to the open position (second position), the side opposite to the one side. Since the other side is projected to the game area, the game ball flowing down the game area can be received by the upper surface of the opening / closing member 870. Therefore, when the opening 831 is formed as an inflow port, the game ball flowing down the game area can be easily flowed into the internal space of the rotating body 800 by using the opening / closing member 870.

In addition, the game ball flowing down the game area can be easily stopped on the upper surface of the opening / closing member 870. Therefore, for example, when the inflow port of the game ball is formed in the rotating body 800, the game ball flowing down the game area can be easily flowed into the inflow port by using the opening / closing member 870. In this case, if the opening / closing member 870 receives the game ball flowing down the game area, the rotating body 800 may be rotated by the load acting at that time or the weight of the game ball rolling on the upper surface of the displacement member. .. Therefore, it is particularly effective that the lid member 770 displaced to the open position is formed so that the rotation regulating member 780 is displaced to regulate the displacement of the rotating body 800, whereby the opening / closing member 870 is played. It is possible to easily maintain a state in which the area is overhanging at a predetermined position.

The shaft portion 872 of the opening / closing member 870 is arranged on the rotation direction side of the rotating body 800. In other words, one side of the opening / closing member 870 (displacement member) is located on the front side in the rotation direction of the rotating body 800 (rotating member) with respect to the other side. Therefore, when the rotating body 800 is rotated, even if the opening / closing member 870 interferes with the members arranged around the rotating member, the force generated by the interference closes the opening / closing member 870 (displaces to the closed position). Can act in the direction of). That is, it is possible to prevent the opening / closing member 870 from being displaced to the overhang (second position) by interfering with other members when the rotating body 800 is rotated. Further, it is possible to prevent the opening / closing member 870 from engaging with other members to hinder the rotation of the rotating body 800.

Further, the base plate 810 (fixing member) arranged in the internal space of the rotating body 800 is non-rotating with respect to the box member 760 (base member) in which the rotating body 800 is rotatably arranged. By rolling the game ball that has flowed into the internal space of the rotating body 800 from the opening 831 toward the communication hole 881b on the upper surface of the base plate 810, the game ball rampages in the internal space as the rotating body 800 rotates. Alternatively, it is possible to prevent the game ball from rolling and staying in the internal space.

As described above, since the opening / closing operation of the opening / closing member 870 is regulated by the displacement of the lid member 770, the opening / closing member 870 displaced to the open state (second position) interferes with the members around the rotating body 800. Can be suppressed.

As described above, in the rotating body 800, the communication hole 811b through which the wiring to the LED board 820 attached to the back surface side of the base plate 810 is inserted is opposite to the end surface of the rotating body 800 in which the communication hole 881b is formed. It is formed on the end face of. Therefore, it is possible to easily secure the space that can be used for each of the communication hole 881b and the communication hole 811b.

That is, in the case of electrical wiring to the LED board arranged inside the rotating body 800, if the wiring is inserted from the outer peripheral surface of the rotating body 800, the wiring is entangled by the rotation of the rotating body 800, so that the axial end surface of the rotating body 800 However, if the opening for the game ball to flow in and the opening for the game ball to flow out are formed on both end surfaces of the rotating body 800 in the axial direction, it becomes difficult to secure a space for inserting the wiring.

On the other hand, in the present embodiment, since the inlet of the game ball of the rotating body 800 can be used as the outer peripheral surface thereof, one of the axial end faces of the rotating body 800 is used as the outlet of the game ball, and the other is inserted with wiring. Since it can be used as a mouth, it is easy to secure a space for inserting the wiring.

As a result, the game ball can be smoothly discharged through the communication hole 881b, and the wiring work to the opening of the electrical connection line (wiring to the LED board 820) can be facilitated. Further, since the communication hole 881b and the communication hole 811b can be separated as much as possible, it is possible to easily suppress the interference between the game ball that rolls in the internal space of the rotating body 800 to the communication hole 881b and the electrical connection line.

Next, the lower displacement unit 400 and the rotating unit 700 will be described with reference to FIGS. 105 and 106. FIG. 105 is a front view of the lower displacement unit 400 and the rotating unit 700, and FIG. 106 is a top view of the lower displacement unit 400 in the direction of arrow CVI of FIG. 105. In addition, in FIG. 105 and FIG. 106, the lower displacement unit 400 in the retracted state is shown.

As shown in FIGS. 105 and 106, the lower displacement unit 400 and the rotation unit 700 are arranged at positions adjacent to each other in the left-right direction. Further, in the lower displacement unit 400 and the rotation unit 700 in the front-rear direction (vertical direction of FIG. 106), the exit opening 471 of the lower displacement member 440 is arranged at a substantially central position in the front-rear direction of the ball cradle 710.

Next, with reference to FIG. 107, a mode of throwing a ball from the lower displacement unit 400 to the rotating unit 700 will be described. FIG. 107 is a front view of the lower displacement unit 400 and the rotating unit 700. Note that FIG. 107 shows a state in which the lower displacement unit 400 is arranged in the first overhanging state.

As shown in FIG. 107, the lower displacement unit 400 is in the first overhanging state, and the ball receiving portion 467 arranged inside the lower displacement member 440 is in a state of receiving the ball inward (ball receiving operation is performed). When the firing operation is performed in the state), as described above, the ball arranged inside the ball receiving portion 467 is discharged to the outside of the lower displacement member 440 from the exit opening 471 of the lower displacement member 440.

The ball discharged from the exit opening 471 of the lower displacement member 440 freely falls and falls on the ball cradle 710 of the rotating unit 700 arranged on the right side in the front view. As a result, the ball can be thrown from the lower displacement unit 400 to the rotating body 800.

Next, the configuration of the ball cradle 710 will be described with reference to FIGS. 108 and 109. FIG. 108 (a) is a top view of the ball cradle 710, FIG. 108 (b) is a front view of the ball cradle 710, and FIG. 108 (c) is a CVIIIc-CVIIIc of FIG. 108 (a). It is sectional drawing of the ball cradle 710 in line. FIG. 109 is an exploded perspective view of the ball cradle 710.

As shown in FIGS. 108 and 109, the ball cradle 710 is connected to the dish receiving portion 711 formed in a box shape, the solenoid 712 arranged inside the dish receiving portion 711, and the solenoid 712. The displacement member 713 and the cover member 714 that covers the solenoid 712 are mainly provided.

The dish receiving portion 711 includes a bottom plate 711a forming a bottom surface, an upright portion 711b erected on the edge portion of the bottom plate 711a, a ball throwing portion 711c protruding from a part of the outer edge of the bottom plate 711a, and a ball throwing portion 711c. It is mainly provided with a shaft hole 711d formed through the erection portion 711b erected at the edge portion of the above.

The bottom plate 711a is formed in a shape that bends downward toward the throwing portion 711c side, which will be described later. As a result, the ball thrown to the upper part of the bottom plate 711a can be rolled toward the throwing portion 711c by its deflection (inclination).

Further, the bottom plate 711a is made of a flexible material, and the lower surface of the bottom plate 711a (the lower surface of FIG. 108 (c)) is textured to form fine irregularities on the surface. As a result, when the bottom plate 711a is molded, the ratio of heat shrinkage can be made different between the upper surface and the bottom surface, so that the bottom plate can be easily bent toward the bottom surface side. That is, when the bottom surface to which the texture processing is applied is heat-shrinked due to the unevenness, it becomes difficult for a force to act in the direction of convexly bending the bottom plate side. On the other hand, since the upper surface side is formed on a flat surface, a pulling force acts in the horizontal direction when heat shrinks, and the end portion tends to change upward (the upper surface side tends to form a concave curve). Therefore, it is possible to easily bend the sphere in a direction in which it is easy to roll when it is thermally contracted. As a result, it is possible to prevent the bottom plate 711a from becoming a defective product when it is molded.

The upright portion 711b is a wall portion that is erected on the upper side in the direction of gravity (upper side in FIG. 108 (c)) from the outer edge portion of the ball throwing portion 711c. The standing distance of the standing portion 711b is set to be larger than the outer diameter of the sphere. As a result, it is possible to prevent the ball thrown to the upper portion of the bottom plate 711a from falling downward from the edge portion thereof. In the present embodiment, the erection dimension of the erection portion 711b is set to be approximately 1.5 times the diameter of the sphere.

Further, the erection portion 711b is formed by connecting the central erection portion 711b1 that divides the region of the bottom plate 711a into two to the erection portion 711b. The central standing portion 711b1 divides the upper region of the bottom plate 711a into a region where a ball is thrown on one side and a region where a solenoid 712, which will be described later, is arranged on the other side.

The ball throwing portion 711c is formed on the front side of the bottom plate 711a. Further, the position in the left-right direction (left-right direction in FIG. 108 (a)) is arranged on the right side (right side in FIG. 108) of the substantially center position of the bottom plate 711a. Further, the throwing portion 711c protrudes from the bottom plate and is therefore curved downward. As a result, the ball thrown from the bottom plate 711a can be dropped downward via the throwing portion 711c. A winning opening 761a of the lid member 770 is arranged below the throwing portion 711c (see FIG. 106), and a ball falling from the throwing portion 711c can be thrown into the winning opening 761a.

The shaft portion 713a of the displacement member 713, which will be described later, is inserted into the shaft hole 711d. As a result, the displacement member 713 can be rotationally displaced about the axis of the shaft hole 711d.

When electric power is applied to the solenoid 712, the shaft inserted inside the solenoid 712 can be displaced by the piston. A transmission member 712a is attached to the shaft of the solenoid 712. The transmission member 712a is a member that transmits the driving force of the solenoid 712 to the displacement member 713 described later, and a communication hole 712a1 is formed at the tip thereof.

The displacement member 713 is formed in a C-shaped cross section, and is mainly provided with a protrusion 713b projecting outward of the C-shape at one end thereof and a shaft portion 713a projecting inward of the C-shape at both ends.

The protrusion 713b is a protrusion inserted into the communication hole 712a1 of the solenoid 712, and is formed in a columnar shape having an outer diameter larger than the inner diameter of the communication hole 712a1. As a result, the displacement of the solenoid 712 is transmitted to the displacement member 713 via the transmission member 712a.

The shaft portion 713a is a shaft inserted into the shaft hole 711d. By inserting the shaft portion 713a into the shaft hole 711d, the displacement member 713 can rotate about the axis of the shaft portion 713a. That is, the displacement member 713 is driven by the displacement of the solenoid 712.

The cover member 714 is formed to have an outer shape larger than the outer shape of the solenoid 712, is arranged above the solenoid 712 arranged on the upper portion of the bottom plate 711a, and is fastened and fixed to the dish receiving portion 711. Thereby, the solenoid 712 can be fixed.

Next, a ball falling on the ball cradle 710 will be described with reference to FIG. 110. 110 (a) and 110 (b) are cross-sectional views of the ball cradle 710. It should be noted that FIGS. 110 (a) and 110 (b) correspond to the cross section of the ball cradle 710 of FIG. 108 (c).

As shown in FIG. 110, the ball thrown from the lower displacement member 440 of the lower displacement unit 400 freely falls in the direction of gravity, and the rotation unit 700 side (right side in FIG. 110 (a)) due to the firing operation of the ball receiving portion 467. ). That is, the ball cradle 710 is dropped with respect to the bottom plate 711a in the lower right direction in the front view.

In this case, as described above, the bottom plate 711a is formed by bending downward toward the ball throwing portion 711c side, and the ball throwing portion 711c is formed on the right side with respect to the bottom plate 711a. Can be an inclined surface that inclines downward toward the right side. Therefore, the displacement direction of the sphere and the inclination direction of the bottom plate 711a on which the sphere falls can be brought close to each other in parallel.

As a result, as shown in FIG. 110 (b), it is possible to prevent the ball that has fallen on the bottom plate 711a from bouncing in the upward direction (upward in FIG. 110 (b)). Therefore, it is possible to prevent the ball thrown from the lower displacement member 440 of the lower displacement unit 400 to the ball pedestal 710 of the rotating unit 700 from falling from the ball pedestal 710.

Further, the ball that has fallen on the bottom plate 711a can be rolled toward the throwing portion 711c by the momentum of the falling. Therefore, the rolling time of the ball up to the throwing unit 711c can be shortened. As a result, the ball thrown from the lower displacement member 440 to the ball cradle 710 can be smoothly thrown.

Next, the light emission of the ball cradle 710 will be described with reference to FIG. 111. 111 (a) and 111 (b) are schematic cross-sectional views of the rotating unit 700 in the CXI-CXI line of FIG. 87. It should be noted that FIG. 111 (a) shows a state in which the decorative unit 750 is in the closed state, and FIG. 111 (b) shows the state in which the decorative unit 750 is arranged in the open state.

As shown in FIG. 111 (a), the light emission to the ball cradle 710 in the state where the decorative unit 750 is arranged in the closed state is performed by the LED base 721 arranged on the back side of the rear base 720. ..

More specifically, the light emitted from the LED 721a of the LED board 721 is reflected on the back surface side of the lid member 770 to be incident on the bottom plate 711a of the ball cradle 710. Further, as described above, since the bottom surface of the bottom plate 711a is textured, the incident light can be diffusely reflected due to the unevenness of the textured processing. As a result, the entire bottom surface of the ball cradle 710 can be made to emit light.

On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 111B, when the decorative unit 750 is arranged in the open state, the transparent portion 771a is formed on the lid member 770 as described above. It is transmitted through the lid member 770 without being reflected. Since the rotating body 800 is formed inside the lid member 770, it can be reflected by the outer peripheral surface of the rotating body 800 and incident on the ball cradle 710.

Further, in this case, by rotating the third display unit 850 of the rotating body 800 toward the ball cradle 710 side (upper side in FIG. 111B), light is emitted from the LED 821 of the LED board 820 arranged on the back side of the base plate 810. The light can be reflected on the inner wall of the rotating body 800 and emitted from the third display unit 850.

As described above, the inner wall of the third display unit 850 is textured, and a plurality of irregularities are formed on the surface. Therefore, the third display unit 850 can easily emit light to the outside of the rotating body 800 than the other display units. Therefore, it is preferable to arrange the third display unit 850 on the ball cradle 710 side.

Next, a detailed configuration of the upper displacement unit 900 will be described with reference to FIGS. 112 to 118. First, a structure for displacementing the upper displacement member 940 will be described with reference to FIGS. 112 to 114.

FIG. 112 is a front view of the upper displacement unit 900. FIG. 113 is an exploded perspective front view of the upper displacement unit 900. FIG. 114 is an exploded rear view of the upper displacement unit 900. In addition, in FIGS. 112 to 114, the state in which the upper displacement member 940 is arranged at the retracted position (the position arranged at the uppermost position with respect to the base member 910) is shown.

As shown in FIGS. 112 to 114, the upper displacement unit 900 is arranged inside the base member 910 arranged on the bottom wall portion 301 (see FIG. 6) of the rear case 300 and the base member 910. The transmission member 920, the rotary member 930 rotatably connected to the base member 910 and displaced with the displacement of the transmission member 920, and one end slidably and displaceably connected to the base member 410 and the rotary member 930. It is mainly provided with an upper displacement member 940 that is connected to and displaced by transmitting a driving force from the rotating member 930.

The base member 910 is formed by combining two rectangular horizontally long plate members in the front-rear direction in the front-rear direction, and includes a front base 911 arranged on the front side and a back base 912 arranged on the back side. A transmission member 920 and a rotating member 930 are arranged between the front base 911 and the back base 912.

The front base 911 has three sliding grooves 911c, 911d, 911e penetrating in the front-rear direction (the depth direction of the paper in FIG. 112), a shaft support pin 911b protruding toward the back side at the center position in the circumferential direction, and one end side of the front base. It is mainly provided with a shaft portion 911f projecting to the front (on the left side in the front view) and an opening 911a penetrating in the front-rear direction on one end side.

The opening 911a is an opening for inserting the shaft of the drive motor KM5 arranged in the front base 911 to the back side. As a result, the shaft of the drive motor KM5 arranged on the front side of the front base 911 can be inserted into the back side of the front base 911.

The shaft support pins 911g and 911b are inserted into the shaft holes of the transmission gear 922 and the transmission gear 923 described later, and the transmission gear 922 and the transmission gear 923 can be rotatably held. That is, the shaft support pins 911g and 911b are formed in a columnar shape having an outer diameter smaller than the inner diameter of the shaft holes of the transmission gear 922 and the transmission gear 923.

The sliding groove 911c is formed through the shaft support pin 911b in an arc shape centered on the shaft. The sliding groove 911c is an opening through which the shaft support pin 923a of the transmission gear 923 described later is inserted, and the radius of the arc thereof is substantially the same as the distance from the shaft hole of the transmission gear 923 described later to the shaft support pin 923a. Set. As a result, when the transmission gear 923 is rotated with the shaft support pin 923a inserted into the sliding groove 911c, it is possible to prevent the shaft support pin from colliding with the inner wall of the sliding groove 911c.

The sliding grooves 911d and 911e are grooves into which the shaft support pins 951, 952 of the upper displacement member 940, which will be described later, are inserted, and the width dimension in the lateral direction is set to be larger than the outer diameter of the shaft support pins 951, 952. Will be done.

The sliding groove 911e is formed linearly in the longitudinal direction (left-right direction in the front view) of the front base 911. On the other hand, the sliding groove 911d is formed in an arc shape centered on the lower side of the front base 911. That is, the sliding groove 911e and the sliding groove 911d are formed non-parallel. Therefore, at different positions in the left-right direction, the distance dimensions between the two sliding grooves 911e and 911d facing each other in the vertical direction are different. As a result, when the shaft support pins 951 and 952 are slid inside the sliding grooves 911e and 911d, the upper displacement member 940 is slid while rotating due to the difference in the distance dimension between the opposites in the vertical direction. To.

The shaft portion 911f is formed so as to project in a columnar shape on the front side. The shaft portion 911f can be inserted into a through hole 931 formed at one end of the rotating member 930, which will be described later, to hold the rotating member 930 in a rotatable state. That is, the shaft portion 911f is formed to have an outer diameter smaller than the inner diameter of the through hole 931 of the rotating member 930.

The back base 912 is a plate member attached to the back side of the front base 911 at predetermined intervals. The back base 912 is formed from a metallic material. As a result, the overall rigidity of the base member 910 can be improved. As a result, it is possible to prevent the base member 910 from being twisted when the relatively heavy upper displacement member 940 is arranged on the base member 910 formed in a horizontally long rectangular shape.

The transmission member 920 is arranged between the front base 911 and the back base 912 facing each other. The transmission member 920 mainly includes a transmission gear 921 connected to the shaft of the drive motor KM5, a transmission gear 922 meshed with the transmission gear 921, and a transmission gear 923 meshed with the transmission gear 922. Is formed.

As described above, the transmission gear 921 is connected to the drive motor KM5 by inserting the shaft of the drive motor KM5 arranged on the front side of the front base 911 into the shaft hole. As a result, the transmission gear 921 can be rotationally displaced by the driving force of the driving motor KM5.

The transmission gear 922 is meshed with the transmission gear 921 and the transmission gear 923 as described above. As a result, the driving force for the rotation of the transmission gear 921 can be transmitted to the transmission gear 923.

The transmission gear 923 is formed by providing a shaft support pin 923a projecting to the front side on the outer peripheral edge portion thereof. Therefore, when the transmission gear 923 is rotated, the shaft support pin 923a is rotationally displaced around the axis of the transmission gear 923.

The rotating member 930 mainly includes a through hole 931 formed in a rod shape having a long one side and penetrating in the front-rear direction at one end, and an opening 932 extending in the longitudinal direction at a substantially central position in the longitudinal direction. Formed in preparation.

As described above, the through hole 931 is an opening into which the shaft portion 911f of the front base 911 is inserted, and the rotating member 930 can be rotated with respect to the front base 911 by inserting the shaft portion 911f. Can be held. Further, an urging spring SP8 is arranged at the tip of the shaft portion 911f. As a result, the rotating member 930 is urged in the direction of lifting the other end side upward with respect to the front base 911.

The opening 932 is a groove into which the shaft support pin 923a of the transmission gear 923 is inserted, and the shaft support pin 923a is slidably formed inside. As described above, when the transmission gear 923 is rotationally displaced and the arrangement of the shaft support pins 923a is displaced, the shaft support pins 923a are displaced inside the opening 932. Therefore, since the rotating member 930 is arranged in a state where one end is rotatably supported by the shaft, the rotating member 930 is rotated about one end by the displacement of the shaft support pin 923a.

Further, on the other end side of the rotating member 930, an annular member 933 formed in a front view annular shape and in a plate shape having a predetermined thickness is arranged on the back surface side.

The front side of the annular member 933 is formed with two sliding grooves 933a recessed at symmetrical positions along the outer peripheral edge thereof. The annular member 933 is a portion connected to the upper displacement member 940, which will be described later, and the shaft portion 953 of the upper displacement member 940 is inserted inside. Further, the annular member 933 and the upper displacement member 940 are rotatably connected to each other, and the upper displacement member 940 can be displaced as the rotating member 930 is rotationally displaced.

A protrusion 961 of the upper displacement member 940 is inserted inside the sliding groove 933a, and the protrusion 961 slides inside the sliding groove 933a when the upper displacement member 940 is rotationally displaced with respect to the rotating member. it can.

Further, the arc axis of the sliding groove 933a is arranged at a position different from the rotation axis of the upper displacement member 940 with respect to the rotation member 930. As a result, when the upper displacement member 940 is rotationally displaced with respect to the rotating member 930, the first open portion 960 can be displaced. A detailed description of the first opening portion 960 will be described later.

In addition, on one end side (rotation shaft side) of the rotating member 930, a shaft portion cover 913 and a deformation regulation cover 914 formed from a plate-like body are arranged in front. The shaft portion cover 913 is arranged in front of the rotating shaft portion of the rotating member 930, so that the rotating member 930 is prevented from rattling in the front-rear direction. The deformation control cover 914 is arranged at a position separated from the rotation axis by a predetermined distance, and it is possible to prevent the rotation member 930 from being deformed in the front-rear direction by the weight of the upper displacement member 940 arranged on the other end side.

The upper displacement member 940 is a base body 950 connected to the front base 911 and the rotating member 930, two first open portions 960 rotatably arranged on the back side of the base body 950, and the base body 950. It is mainly provided with two second open portions 970 rotatably arranged on the front side and a variable portion 980 arranged on one end side.

The base body 950 is mainly provided with two shaft support pins 951 and 952 projecting on the back surface on one end side and a shaft portion 953 projecting on the back surface on the other end side.

The shaft support pins 951, 952 are protrusions inserted into the sliding grooves 911e and 911d of the front base 911 as described above. Therefore, when the upper displacement member 940 is driven by the rotating member 930, the shaft support pins 951, 952 slide along the sliding grooves 911e and 911d, thereby sliding the upper displacement member 940 in the left-right direction. At the same time, the other end side can be rotationally displaced downward.

As described above, the shaft portion 953 is a protrusion that is inserted into the annular member 933 and connected to the rotating member 930, and is formed in a columnar shape having an outer diameter smaller than the inner diameter of the annular member 933. As a result, the upper displacement member 940 can be rotatably connected to the rotating member 930. Therefore, when the rotating member 930 is rotationally displaced about one end by the driving force of the drive motor KM5, the driving force is transmitted to the upper displacement member 940 by the displacement of the annular member 933. As a result, the upper displacement member 940 can be displaced along the sliding grooves 911e and 911d.

The first opening portion 960 is a plate member having a predetermined thickness in the front-rear direction, and two pieces are arranged on the back surface side of the base body 950. The first open portion 960 is rotatably pivotally supported and arranged on the other end side of the base body 950. Further, the first opening portion 960 includes a protrusion 961 that protrudes to the back surface side and is arranged inside the sliding groove 933a of the annular member 933. As a result, when the upper displacement member 940 is rotationally displaced with respect to the rotating member 930 due to the displacement of the rotating member 930, the protrusion 961 can be slid inside the sliding groove 933a.

In this case, as described above, the curved shaft of the sliding groove 933a is arranged at a position different from the rotating shaft of the upper displacement member 940 with respect to the rotating member 930, so that the protrusion 961 slides inside the sliding groove 933a. Along with this, the first open portion 960 axially supported by the base body 950 can be rotationally displaced.

The second opening portion 970 is a plate member having a predetermined thickness in the front-rear direction, and two pieces are arranged on the front side of the base body 950. The second open portion 970 is rotatably pivotally supported and arranged on the other end side of the base body 950. Also. The second open portion 970 is formed to include an engaging projection (not shown) that engages when the first open portion 960 is displaced in a predetermined manner. As a result, as described above, when the upper displacement member 940 is rotationally displaced around the shaft support portion when the upper displacement member 940 is subjected to a predetermined rotational displacement, the first open portion 960 engages with the second open portion 970. The second open portion 970 can be rotationally displaced.

Next, the displacement of the upper displacement member 940 will be described with reference to FIGS. 115 to 117. FIG. 115 is a front view of the upper displacement unit 900 in a state where the upper displacement member 940 is arranged in the retracted position. FIG. 116 is a front view of the upper displacement unit 900 in a state where the upper displacement member 940 is arranged at an intermediate position. FIG. 117 is a front view of the upper displacement unit 900 in a state where the upper displacement member 940 is arranged at the overhanging position.

The retracted position of the upper displacement member 940 is a position in which the shaft support pins 951, 952 are arranged on the other end side of the sliding grooves 911d and 911e of the front base 911 (the right side of the front base 911 in the front view). Is. The overhanging position is a position in which the shaft support pins 951 and 952 are arranged on one end side of the sliding grooves 911d and 911e of the front base 911 (on the left side of the front base 911 in the front view). Further, the intermediate position is a position in which the upper displacement member 940 is displaced to an intermediate position between the retracted position and the overhanging position.

As shown in FIGS. 115 to 117, when the upper displacement member 940 is displaced with respect to the front base 911, the upper displacement member 940 changes its longitudinal direction from a substantially horizontal direction (FIG. 115 left-right direction) to a substantially vertical direction (FIG. 115 left-right direction). It is rotationally displaced in the vertical direction (FIG. 117).

Further, with the rotational displacement, the position on one end side of the upper displacement member 940 is displaced from the position of the right end portion in the front view to the substantially center position in the front view of the front base 911. That is, when the rotating member 930 is rotated by the driving force of the driving motor KM5 as described above, the upper displacement member 940 is rotationally displaced while being slidably displaced.

Further, when the displacement is performed from the intermediate position shown in FIG. 116 to the overhanging position shown in FIG. 117, the first open portion 960 arranged in the upper displacement member 940 is rotationally displaced with respect to the base body 950. The second open portion 970, which is displaced by engaging with the rotational displacement of the first open portion 960, is also rotationally displaced with respect to the base body 950. Therefore, at the overhanging position, the longitudinal direction of the upper displacement member 940 is directed to the vertical direction, and the first open portion 960 and the second open portion 970 are displaced.

In the present embodiment, the upper displacement member 940 is formed in a shape imitating the shape of a human arm (including a hand). Therefore, the displacement from the first position to the third position causes the first open portion 960 and the second open portion 970 to be displaced, so that the player can visually recognize the displacement that makes the human arm thicker. ..

Next, the variable portion 980 will be described in detail with reference to FIG. 118. FIG. 118 (a) is a front view of the variable portion 980, and FIG. 118 (b) is a rear view of the variable portion 980.

As shown in FIGS. 118 (a) and 118 (b), the variable portion 980 is formed in a shape imitating a human hand, and the main body portion 981 and the main body portion 981 forming the rear portion of the hand are formed. It is mainly provided with finger portions 982 to 986 which are connected to form a finger portion of the hand.

A drive motor (not shown) is arranged inside the main body 981, and the variable plate (not shown) arranged inside can be displaced in the front-rear direction (vertical direction in FIG. 118 (a)). Will be done.

The finger portion 982 is a portion corresponding to the thumb, and the base portion side is connected to the variable plate of the main body portion 981. As a result, the finger portion 982 can be displaced by the piston movement of the variable plate.

The finger portions 983 to 986 are formed mainly including a first link RB1 arranged on the base side and a second link RB2 arranged on the tip side inside the finger portions 983 to 986.

The first link RB1 is connected to the second link RB2 in a rotatable state on the tip side, and is connected to the variable plate of the main body 981 on the base side. Therefore, the variable plate of the main body 981 is moved by the piston, so that the second link RB2 can be displaced via the first link RB1 and the first link RB1. As a result, the fingers 983 to 986 can be displaced. In the present embodiment, by displacing the finger portions 982 to 986, the player can visually recognize the operation of opening and closing the fingers of the hand.

The front base 411 has two sliding grooves 411a and 411b penetrating in the front-rear direction (depth direction on the paper in FIG. 43), two columnar shaft support pins 411c and 411d protruding toward the back side, and a shaft support pin 411d. It is mainly provided with a curved wall portion 411e projecting in an arc shape about the axis.

The sliding grooves 411a and 411b are holes through which two protrusions 472 and 473 protruding from the back surface side of the lower displacement member 440 are inserted. The sliding grooves 411a and 411b are formed so as to extend in the left-right direction, respectively. Therefore, by displacing the protrusions 472 and 473 inserted through the sliding grooves 411a and 411b along the sliding grooves 411a and 411b, the lower displacement member 440 can be slid in the left-right direction.

Further, the sliding grooves 411a and 411b are formed by being curved in an arc shape, respectively, and are upward (upward in FIG. 43) from the left side (left side in FIG. 43) to the right end (right side in FIG. 43) of the front base 411. ) Is opened. Further, the sliding grooves 411a and 411b are arranged at different positions on the axes of their respective arcs, and the gap between the opposing portions in the vertical direction (vertical direction in FIG. 43) is narrowed from the left end portion to the right end portion.

Since the distance between the protrusions 472 and 473 of the base member 470 of the lower displacement member 440 does not change, when the lower displacement member 440 is slid along the sliding groove, the lower displacement member 440 is rotated. It can be displaced. That is, by changing the distance between the two sliding grooves 411a and 411b, the lower displacement member 440 can be rotated along with the sliding without applying a driving force for rotation to the lower displacement member 440.

The shaft support pin 411c is a protrusion inserted into the shaft portion 422a of the cam member 422 of the transmission member 420, which will be described later, and is formed in a columnar shape having an outer diameter smaller than the inner diameter of the shaft portion 422a. Further, the shaft support pin 411c is formed of a metal rod-like body and is fitted onto the front base 411. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the shaft support pin 411c from being broken (damaged) when a force is applied to the cam member 422 from the outer peripheral surface thereof in the axial direction.

Next, the lower displacement member 2440 according to the second embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 119 to 121. In the first embodiment, the case where the movable rack 464 and the rack 466 are displaced in the same direction by the driving force of the drive motor KM2 has been described, but the lower displacement member 2440 in the second embodiment includes the movable rack 2464 and the rack 466. It is displaced in the opposite direction by the driving force of the drive motor KM2. The same parts as those in the first embodiment are designated by the same reference numerals, and the description thereof will be omitted.

First, the overall configuration of the lower displacement member 2440 in the second embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 119 and 120. FIG. 119 is an exploded perspective front view of the lower displacement member 2440 according to the second embodiment. FIG. 120 is a front view of the lower displacement member 2440. Note that FIG. 120 shows a state in which the decorative member 450 and the front case 481 of the lower displacement member 2440 are transparently viewed.

As shown in FIGS. 119 and 120, the lower displacement member 2440 in the second embodiment includes a base member 2470 connected to the front base 411, a case member 480 covering the front and rear of the base member 2470, and a case member 480. It is mainly provided with a transmission mechanism 2460 displaceably arranged between the base member 2470 and a decorative member 450 formed so as to cover the front and rear of the case member 480.

The base member 2470 is a plate member formed in a horizontally long rectangular shape in a front view, and includes protrusions 472 and 473 protruding from the back surface on one end side, and an erection wall 471a erected on the front surface from the edge on the other end side. Left-right direction (horizontal direction in FIG. 120) A protruding wall 477 protruding vertically from the upper end of the central portion to the front side in a U-shape opposite to the vertical direction, a shaft portion 474, 475 projecting to the front side, and a shaft portion 474. It is mainly provided with shaft portions 2470a and 2470b projecting above 475.

The shaft portion 2470a is a shaft member rotatably supported by the transmission gear 2468a described later, and is formed smaller than the shaft hole of the transmission gear 2468a.

The shaft portion 2470b is a shaft member rotatably supported by the transmission gear 2468b described later, and is formed smaller than the shaft hole of the transmission gear 2468b. As will be described later, the transmission gear 2468a and the shaft portion 2470a are arranged in a state in which the gear tooth surfaces engraved on the outer peripheral surface thereof are meshed with each other. That is, the distance between the shaft portion 2470a and the shaft portion 2470b in the front view is set to the distance corresponding to the radius of the transmission gear 2468a and the transmission gear 2468b.

The transmission mechanism 2460 is arranged in front of the base member 470, and has a transmission gear 461,462,463, a drive motor KM2 whose shaft portion is connected to the transmission gear 461, and a tooth surface that meshes with the transmission gear 463. A movable rack 2464 that is slidably displaceable in front of the base member 470, a transmission gear 2468a that meshes with the movable rack 2464, and a transmission gear 2468b that meshes with the transmission gear 2468a.

The rack gear 2464g is meshed with a transmission gear 2468a described later. As a result, when the drive is transmitted from the drive motor KM4 and the rack 466 is displaced, the transmission gear 2468a can be rotated according to the displacement.

The transmission gears 2468a and 2468b are pivotally supported by the shaft portions 2470a and 2470b of the base member 2470 in a state of being in mesh with each other as described above. As a result, when the transmission gear 2468a is rotated, the transmission gear 2468b is rotated. Further, the transmission gear 2468b is meshed with the rack gear 466a of the rack 466, and when the transmission gear 2468b is rotated, the driving force is transmitted to the rack 466 and the rack 466 is displaced.

That is, the rack 466 can be driven by the driving force of the drive motor KM4. The transmission gears 2468a and 2468b are arranged at positions partially displaced in the front-rear direction, so that the transmission gear 2468a is prevented from colliding with the rack 466 and the transmission gear 2468b is prevented from colliding with the movable rack 2464.

Next, the displacement of the lower displacement member 2440 will be described with reference to FIG. 121. FIG. 121 is a front view of the lower displacement member 2440. Note that, in FIG. 121, similarly to FIG. 120, the decorative member 450 of the lower displacement member 2440 and the front case 481 are shown in a transparent state.

As shown in FIG. 121, when electric power is applied to the drive motor KM2 and the ball receiving portion 467 is displaced to the firing position by the transmission mechanism 2460 described above, the movable rack 464 and the rack 466 are displaced in different directions from each other. To.

More specifically, the movable rack 464 is displaced to the other end side (left side in FIG. 121) of the lower displacement member 440 by rotating the drive motor KM4. Along with this displacement, the transmission gears 2468a and 2468b are rotated, and the rack 466 is displaced to one end side (right side in FIG. 3). As a result, the ball receiving portion 467 can be displaced to the third position.

Therefore, when the ball receiving portion 467 is displaced from the first position, a displacement component opposite to the displacement direction of the ball receiving portion 467 can be formed. The change in the position of the center of gravity of the displacement member 2440 can be reduced by the displacement of the movable rack 464. As a result, rattling of the lower displacement member 2440 due to a change in the position of the center of gravity can be suppressed.

Next, the lower displacement member 3440 according to the third embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 122 to 127. In the first embodiment, the case where the ball receiving portion 467 is slidably displaced by the rack and pinion mechanism has been described, but in the lower displacement member 3440 in the third embodiment, the ball receiving portion 467 is slidly displaced by the link mechanism. The same parts as those in the above embodiments are designated by the same reference numerals, and the description thereof will be omitted.

First, the overall configuration of the lower displacement member 3440 according to the third embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 122 to 125. FIG. 122A is a front view of the lower displacement member 3440 according to the third embodiment, and FIG. 122B is a rear view of the lower displacement member 3440. FIG. 123 is an exploded perspective front view of the lower displacement member 3440, and FIG. 124 is an exploded perspective rear view of the lower displacement member 3440. 125 (a) and 91 (b) are front views of the lower displacement member 3440.

Note that FIG. 125 (a) shows a state in which the decorative member 450 of the lower displacement member 3440 is transparently viewed, and in FIG. 125 (b), the decorative member 450 of the lower displacement member 3440 and the front case 3481 are transparently viewed. The state is illustrated.

As shown in FIGS. 122 to 125, the lower displacement member 3440 in the third embodiment includes a base member 3470 connected to the front base 411, a case member 480 covering the front and rear of the base member 3470, and a case member 480 and a base. It is mainly provided with a transmission mechanism 3460 displaceably arranged between the member 3470 and a decorative member 450 formed so as to cover the front and rear of the case member 480.

The base member 3470 is a plate member formed in a rectangular shape in a front view, and has protrusions 472 and 473 protruding from the back surface on one end side, and an erection wall 471a erected on the front side from the edge on the other end side. A sliding wall 3470c formed continuously from the base end side of the erection wall 471a and erected on the lower edge of the base member 3470, and an upper end of the central portion in the left-right direction (FIG. 122 (a) left-right direction). Mainly provided with a protruding wall 477 that protrudes from the front side in a U-shape opposite to the vertical direction, and an opening 479 that is recessed in the central portion of the base member 470 in the vertical direction while extending from one end side to the other end side. It is formed.

The sliding wall 3470c is a wall portion for abutting with the leg portion 467a of the ball receiving portion 467 and regulating the position (aspect) of the ball receiving portion 467. That is, it is formed so as to project to a position below the ball receiving portion 467. As a result, the ball receiving portion 467 can be held with the opening of the U-shaped portion facing upward.

Further, the sliding wall 3470c is formed with a recess 3470c1 recessed below the end portion on the standing wall 471a side. The recess 3470c1 is a groove for receiving the tip of the leg portion 467a of the ball receiving portion 467 into the recessed portion 3470c1. As a result, when the ball receiving portion 467 is slid toward the upright portion side by the transmission mechanism 3460 described later, the ball receiving portion 467 can be received in the recess and the ball receiving portion 467 can be rotated. As a result, the ball receiving portion 467 can be made to perform a firing operation (an operation of discharging the ball held inside the U-shape to the outside of the lower displacement member 3440).

The first link member 3468 is formed from a rectangular horizontally long plate-like body, has a shaft hole 3468b formed through one end side, a connecting hole 3468a connected to the shaft of the drive motor KM2, and bulges toward the other end side. It is mainly provided with a load portion 3468c to be formed.

The shaft hole 3468b is a through hole through which the rotating shaft 3469a of the second link member 3469, which will be described later, is inserted, and is formed through the shaft hole 3468b in the front-rear direction with an inner diameter larger than the outer diameter of the rotating shaft 3469a.

The connecting hole 3468a is a hole to be fastened to the shaft of the drive motor KM2 as described above, and is formed to have an inner diameter substantially the same as the outer diameter of the shaft of the drive motor KM2. By internally fitting the shaft of the drive motor KM2 into the connecting hole 3468a and fastening the shaft, the first link member 3468 can be rotated by the driving force of the drive motor KM2.

The load portion 3468c is formed so as to bulge toward the other end side of the connecting hole 3468a. The load portion 346c is a member for applying a load for locating the center of gravity of the first link member 3468 on the other end side of the connecting hole 3468a, and is formed so as to bulge outward from the one end side.

The second link member 3469 is formed in a rectangular horizontally long state, and is arranged on the back surface side of the first link member 3468. The second link member 3469 is mainly provided with a rotating shaft 3469a projecting in a columnar shape from the other end side toward the front surface and a through hole 3469b formed through the one end side in the front-rear direction.

As described above, the rotating shaft 3469a is inserted into the shaft hole 3468b of the first link member 3468. As a result, the first link member 3468 and the second link member 3469 can be connected in a rotatable state.

The through hole 3469b is an opening for connecting the ball receiving portion 467 to the second link member 3469. Further, the through hole 3469b is formed to be smaller than the inner diameter of the shaft hole 467b of the ball receiving portion 467. Therefore, the shaft hole 467b and the through hole 3469b of the ball receiving portion 467 are arranged coaxially, and a screw having a head larger than the width of the opening 469 in the lateral direction is inserted into the opening 479 and the shaft hole 467b from the back side of the base member 3470. Is inserted and fastened to the through hole 3469b, so that the ball receiving portion 467 is connected to the second link member in a rotatable state.

The case member 480 is a member that covers the front and rear of the base member 470, and mainly includes a front case 3481 arranged on the front side of the base member 470 and a back case 482 arranged on the back side.

The front case 3481 is formed in a rectangular horizontally long plate shape when viewed from the front, and has an opening 3481d which is penetrated at a position facing the drive motor KM2, a bottom wall portion 481b which is formed so as to project from the lower end surface on the back side, and a lower edge portion. Is mainly provided with a shaft hole 481c penetrating in the front-rear direction.

The opening 3481d is a hole for inserting the shaft of the drive motor KM2 arranged on the front side of the front case 3481 to the back side, and is formed to have an outer diameter larger than the shaft of the drive motor KM2. As a result, the driving force of the drive motor KM2 arranged on the front side of the front case 3481 can be transmitted to the first link member 3468 arranged on the back side.

Next, the displacement of the lower displacement member 3440 will be described with reference to FIGS. 126 and 127. FIG. 126 (a) is a front view of the lower displacement member 440 at the first position, and FIG. 126 (b) is a front view of the lower displacement member 440 at the second position. FIG. 127 (a) is a front view of the lower displacement member 440 at the third position, and FIG. 127 (b) is a front view of the lower displacement member 440 at the second position.

From FIG. 126 (a) to FIG. 127 (b), the transition states of the lower displacement member 440 are shown in order. Further, FIGS. 126 (a) and 126 (b) or 127 (a) and 127 (b) show a state in which the decorative member 450 and the front case 481 of the lower displacement member 3440 are transparently viewed.

As shown in FIGS. 126 and 127, in the downward displacement member 440 at the first position, the first link member 3468 and the second link member 3469 are the longitudinal directions of the base member 3470 in the longitudinal direction (left-right direction in FIG. 126 (a)). The first link member 3468 and the second link member 3469 are arranged so as to overlap each other in the front-rear direction while being substantially parallel to the direction (horizontal direction in FIG. 126 (a)).

That is, the connecting portion between the first link member 3468 and the second link member 3469 is arranged on one end side (left side in FIG. 126 (a)) of the base member 3470. As a result, the second link member 3469 is arranged on one end side. As a result, the ball receiving portion 467 is arranged at the first position.

Next, as shown in FIG. 126 (b), when the drive motor KM2 is rotated and the first link member 3468 is rotationally displaced from the state of the first position, one end side of the first link member 3468 is the base member 3470. Displaced with respect to. As a result, the second link member 3469 connected to one end side of the first link member 3468 is displaced. In this case, one end side of the second link member 3469 is connected to the ball receiving portion 467 and slidable along the opening 479 of the base member 3470, so that one end side of the second link member 3469 is the base member 3470. It is pushed out to the other end side of. As a result, the ball receiving portion 467 connected to the other end side of the second link member 3469 can be displaced to the second position.

Next, as shown in FIG. 127 (a), when the drive motor KM2 is further rotationally displaced from the state of the second position and the first link member 3468 is rotated by approximately 180 degrees from the state of the first position. , The connecting portion between the first link member 3468 and the second link member 3469 is arranged on the other end side of the base member 3470 with respect to the rotation axis. Therefore, one end side of the second link member 3469 is further pushed out to the other end side of the base member 3470, and the ball receiving portion 467 is arranged at the third position.

In this case, the tip of the leg portion 467a of the ball receiving portion 467 is arranged inside the recess 3470c1, so that the ball receiving portion 467 is rotated by the urging spring SP2 and fired.

Further, the load portion 3468c of the first link member 3468 is displaced to one end side of the base member 3470. As a result, it is possible to prevent the position of the center of gravity of the lower displacement member 3440 from being changed when the ball receiving portion 467 is displaced with respect to the base member. As a result, rattling of the lower displacement member 3440 can be suppressed.

That is, when the ball receiving portion 467 is displaced from the first position, a displacement component opposite to the displacement direction of the ball receiving portion 467 can be formed. The change in the position of the center of gravity of the displacement member 3440 can be reduced by the displacement of the load portion 3468c. As a result, the rattling of the lower displacement member 440 due to the change in the position of the center of gravity can be suppressed.

Further, in the third embodiment, as shown in FIG. 127 (b), the ball receiving portion 467 can be retracted to the second position and the first position by continuing the rotation of the first link member 3468. Therefore, it is not necessary to switch the control of the drive motor KM2, and the displacement to the second position or the first position can be performed quickly.

Therefore, when the game ball is ejected from the inside of the ball receiving portion 467, the position of the center of gravity of the lower displacement member 440 changes, so that the lower displacement member 3440 tends to rattle, and the ball receiving portion 467 is quickly retracted. Therefore, the rattling of the lower displacement member 3440 can be suppressed by quickly bringing the position of the center of gravity closer to the rotation axis of the lower displacement member 440.

Further, by immediately displacementing the ball receiving portion 467, it is possible to suppress the wobbling of the lower displacement member 3440 due to the reaction of the ejection operation when the game ball is ejected from the inside of the ball receiving portion 467.

That is, when the game ball is discharged from the inside of the ball receiving portion 467, the load of the lower displacement member 440 is reduced by the amount of the discharged game ball, and the lower displacement member 3440 is likely to be displaced upward due to the reaction. By immediately displacing the ball receiving portion 467, a force that displaces the base member 470 downward by the reaction due to the rotational displacement of the ball receiving portion 467 is applied to cancel the reaction when the ball is ejected from the lower displacement member 3440. be able to.

As shown in FIG. 128, the lower displacement unit 4400 according to the fourth embodiment has an opening opened in the base member 470 of the lower displacement member 440 between the standing wall 471a and the bottom wall portion 481b of the front case 481. 4471b is formed.

The tip portion 4411g1 of the engaging wall 4411g, which will be described later, is inserted into the opening 4471b. That is, the opening 4471b is opened larger than the tip portion 4411g1.

On the front base 411, an engaging wall 4411g formed in a substantially L shape continuous with the bottom surface of the collection port 411f is formed.

The engaging wall 4411g can regulate that the ball receiving portion 467 is rotated at the third position (launching operation) by inserting the tip portion 4411g1 bent into a substantially L shape into the opening 4471b. .. That is, the tip position of the tip portion 4411g1 is set to be substantially the same as the height of the upper surface of the bottom wall portion 481b of the lower displacement member 440 located in the retracted state.

Next, a state in which each member of the lower displacement unit 4400 is displaced will be described with reference to FIGS. 129 and 130. 129 and 130 are front views of the lower displacement unit 4400.

Illustrated.

Further, in FIG. 129, a state in which the lower displacement member 440 is in the retracted state and the ball receiving portion 467 is arranged at the third position is shown. Further, in FIG. 130, a state in which the lower displacement member 440 is in the first overhanging state and the ball receiving portion 467 is arranged in the first position is shown.

As shown in FIG. 129, when the ball receiving portion 467 is displaced to the third position, the tip of the leg portion 467a of the ball receiving portion 467 comes into contact with the upper surface of the tip portion 4411g1 of the engaging wall 4411g, and the recess 481b1 or the opening Invasion of 4471b is restricted. As a result, the rotation of the ball receiving portion 467 is restricted.

Therefore, when the ball thrown into the orbital region of the ball receiving portion 467 is discharged to the outside of the lower displacement member 440 by the ball receiving portion 467, the ball receiving portion 467 is placed at the third position. Can be prevented from rotating and ejecting the game ball held inside the ball receiving portion 467.

That is, the posture of the ball receiving portion 467 is changed when the game balls exceeding the specified number (1 ball) are discharged from the orbital region of the ball receiving portion 467 with the displacement of the ball receiving portion 467 to the third position. Can be regulated. Therefore, it is possible to easily eject only the game balls exceeding the specified number from the orbital region.

On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 130, when the lower displacement member 440 is displaced to the position in the first overhanging state (the position not in the retracted state), the lower displacement member 440 is displaced with respect to the base member 470. Therefore, the opening 4471b of the lower displacement member 440 and the engaging wall 4411g are separated from each other. Therefore, in the first overhanging state, the ball receiving portion 467 can be displaced to the third position to perform the firing operation.

That is, when the number of game balls exceeding the specified number (1 ball) is discharged from the orbital region of the ball receiving portion 467 with the displacement of the ball receiving portion 467 to the third position, the posture of the ball receiving portion 467 is changed. It is possible to suppress the change and make it easier to maintain the state in which the ball receiving portion 467 holds a specified number of game balls, while engaging when the lower displacement member 440 is displaced to the first and second overhang positions. Since the wall 4411g is separated from the internal space of the opening 4471b, the leg portion 467a is engaged with the opening 4471b as the ball receiving portion 467 is displaced to the third position, so that the posture of the ball receiving portion 467 is changed. It is possible to easily discharge a specified number of game balls from the ball receiving portion 467.

Next, the distribution unit 5500 according to the fifth embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 131 to 135. In the first embodiment, the case where the distribution member 540 rotates to form the storage state and the regulated state has been described, but the distribution member 540 in the fifth embodiment slides and displaces to form the storage state and the regulated state. To do. The same parts as those in the above embodiments are designated by the same reference numerals, and the description thereof will be omitted.

First, the overall configuration of the distribution unit 5500 according to the fifth embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 131 to 134. FIG. 131 (a) is a top view of the sorting unit 5500 according to the fifth embodiment, and FIG. 131 (b) is a rear view of the sorting unit 5500. FIG. 132 is an exploded perspective front view of the distribution unit 5500, and FIG. 133 is an exploded perspective rear view of the distribution unit 5500. FIG. 134 is a cross-sectional view of the distribution unit 5500 in the CXXXIV-CXXXIV line of FIG. 131 (a). In FIG. 134, the outer shape of the distribution member 540 is shown by a chain line.

As shown in FIGS. 131 to 133, the distribution unit 5500 according to the fifth embodiment has a base plate 5520 formed in a substantially rectangular shape in front view, and is attached to the front side of the base plate 5520 and faces the base plate 5520. A path forming member 510 that forms a plurality of flow paths through which a ball can flow down, a distribution member 5540 that is slidably attached to the back side of the base plate 5520, and a base plate that is attached to the end surface of the base plate 5520. It is mainly provided with an extension path member 530 that extends the flow path of the sphere formed between the 5520 and the path forming member 510 facing each other.

The base plate 5520 has two columnar shafts 5526 protruding toward the back surface, a first opening 5521 and a second opening 5522 formed through the base plate 5520 in a rectangular shape, and a U-shaped cross section with the upper end side open to the side surface of the upper end. It is mainly provided with a rolling portion 525 that is formed in a shape and extends in the left-right direction, and a locking portion 524 that protrudes like a hook on the back surface side.

Two shaft portions 5526 are formed so as to protrude toward the back surface side, and are inserted into the inside of two sliding grooves 5546, which will be described later.

The first opening 5521 and the second opening 5522 are openings through which the regulation plate 541 and the storage plate 5542 of the distribution member 5540, which will be described later, are inserted, and the opening has a width larger than the thickness of the regulation plate 5541 and the storage plate 5542. It is formed. Further, since the distribution member 5540 is attached to the base plate 5520 in a slidable state, the first opening 5521 and the second opening 5522 are larger in the slide direction of the distribution member 5540 than the regulation plate 5541 and the storage plate 5542. Formed in the opening.

The sorting member 5540 is formed in a rectangular shape in front view in which one is long, and has a predetermined thickness in the front-rear direction. The distribution member 5540 is a sliding groove 5546 formed in a long hole having a regulating plate 5541 and a storage plate 5542 protruding to the front side in a plate shape and a long hole substantially in the same direction as the extending direction of the regulating plate 5541 and the storage plate 5542. And a locking portion 544 formed in the shape of a hook on the back surface side.

The regulation plate 5541 is arranged at a connecting portion between the first throwing path KR1 and the second throwing path KR2 via the first opening 5521, and the game ball flowing down the first throwing path KR1 is the second throwing path KR2. It is a plate member that regulates the inflow to the first opening 5521, and the distance protruding from the first opening 5521 is set to be larger than the radius of the game ball.

Further, the regulation plate 5541 is formed in a straight line in front view, and the extending direction thereof is set to be substantially the same as the slide direction of the distribution member 540. Thereby, when the distribution member 5540 is slidably displaced, the displacement region of the regulation plate 5541 can be minimized. As a result, the opening region of the first opening 5521 can be minimized, and the rigidity of the base plate 5520 can be ensured.

The storage plate 5542 is a plate member that is arranged on the second throwing path KR2 via the second opening 5522 and allows a game ball that flows down the second throwing path KR2 to flow down to the upstream side of the storage plate 5542. The distance protruding from the opening 5522 is set to be larger than the radius of the game ball.

Further, the storage plate 5542 is formed in a straight line in front view, and the extending direction thereof is set to be substantially the same as the sliding direction of the distribution member 540. Thereby, when the distribution member 5540 is slidably displaced, the displacement region of the storage plate 5542 can be minimized. As a result, the opening region of the second opening 5522 can be minimized, and the rigidity of the base plate 5520 can be ensured.

The sliding groove 5546 is an elongated hole formed through in the front-rear direction. The shaft portion 5526 of the base plate 5520 is inserted into the sliding groove 5546. Therefore, by inserting the shaft portion 5526 into the sliding groove 5546 and fastening a screw or the like to the tip of the shaft portion 5526 from the back surface side, the distribution member 5540 is held in a state where it can be slidably displaced with respect to the base plate 5520. be able to.

The sliding grooves 5546 are formed at two locations and their longitudinal directions are parallel to each other. As a result, the distribution member 5540 can be slidably displaced while suppressing the rotational displacement of the distribution member 5540.

Next, the displacement of the distribution member 5540 will be described with reference to FIG. 135. 135 (a) and 135 (b) are partially enlarged views of the distribution unit 5500 in the range CXXXV of FIG. 134. Note that FIG. 135 (a) shows a state in which the distribution member 5540 is arranged at the storage position, and FIG. 135 (b) shows a state in which the distribution member 5540 is arranged at the regulation position.

As shown in FIG. 135 (a), in the state where the distribution member 5540 is arranged at the regulated position, the storage plate 5542 is arranged in the shape of the third throwing path KR3, and the regulating plate 5541 is on the back side of the path forming member 510. It is arranged inside the recess 518 formed in the wall.

In this case, the distance dimension L9 between the tip protruding inward of the third throw path KR3 of the storage plate 5542 and the inner wall of the third throw path facing the tip is made smaller than the diameter of the game ball. Therefore, the ball thrown from the upstream side of the third throwing path KR3 (the first throwing path KR1) is stopped on the upstream side of the storage plate 5542.

On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 135 (b), when the distribution member 5540 is arranged at the regulation position, the regulation plate 5541 is arranged at the connecting portion between the first throw path KR1 and the third throw path KR3. , The regulation plate 5541 is arranged at the connecting portion between the first throwing path KR1 and the third throwing path KR3, and the storage plate 5542 is arranged inside the recess 519 formed in the wall portion on the back side of the path forming member 510. To.

In this case, the distance dimension L10 between the end of the tip protruding inward of the first throwing path KR1 of the regulation plate 5541 and the inner wall of the entrance of the third throwing path KR3 is made smaller than the diameter of the game ball. Therefore, the ball flowing down the first throwing path KR1 collides with the regulation plate 5541 and is thrown to the second throwing path KR2.

That is, by switching the distribution member 5540 between the regulation position and the storage position, the ball thrown in the first throwing path KR1 is thrown into the third throwing path KR3 and stopped on the third throwing path KR3. It is possible to form a state in which a ball flowing down the first throwing path KR1 cannot flow into the third throwing path KR3 and is thrown into the second throwing path KR2.

Therefore, by sliding-displace one distribution member 5540, the flow path of the sphere can be reliably switched to either of the flow paths of the sphere when the flow path is divided into the flow path of 1 and the flow path of 2.

Further, the regulation plate 5541 (sorting means) is formed so as to be able to appear and disappear with respect to the first throwing path KR1 (flow passage) or the third throwing path KR3 (first branch passage), and the appearance position thereof is the first. 1 It is an inner wall on an extension line in the flow direction at the downstream end of the throwing path KR1. Therefore, the regulation plate 5541 can be projected at a position close to the game ball flowing down from the lower end side of the first throwing path KR1. Therefore, it is possible to shorten the time required from the start of projecting the regulation plate 5541 to the flow-down passage or the third throwing path KR3 (first branch passage) until the game balls can be distributed. As a result, the distribution destination can be reliably switched by the regulation plate 5541.

Further, the regulation plate 5541 (distribution means) projects from the third throwing path KR3 (first branch passage) to allow the game ball flowing down the first throwing path KR1 (flowing passage) to the second throwing path (the second throwing path). It is distributed to the second branch passage), and the protruding direction of the regulation plate 5541 is set to the direction toward the upstream end of the second throwing path KR2, so that the game ball flowing down the first throwing path KR1 is projected. When the game ball comes into contact with the regulation plate in the middle of the process, the game ball can be pushed into the second throwing path KR as the regulation plate protrudes. As a result, the distribution to the second throwing path KR2 can be performed more reliably.

Next, the rotating unit 6700 according to the sixth embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 136 to 140. In the first embodiment, the case where the load gear 731e is connected to the drive of the rotating body 800 and the rotating body 800 is restricted from operating by the inertial force has been described. However, the rotating body 800 in the sixth embodiment has a load. The gear 731e is removed. The same parts as those in the above embodiments are designated by the same reference numerals, and the description thereof will be omitted.

First, the overall configuration of the rotating unit 6700 according to the sixth embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 136 to 138. FIG. 136 is a front view of the rotating unit 6700 according to the sixth embodiment, and FIG. 137 is an exploded perspective front view of the rotating unit 6700. FIG. 138 is an exploded perspective rear view of the sorting unit 6500.

As shown in FIGS. 136 to 138, the rotating unit 6700 includes a decorative unit 6750 including a rotating body 800 that is rotationally displaced, a ball pedestal 710 arranged on the upper side of the decorative unit 6750 in the direction of gravity, and the ball pedestal. The rear base 720 arranged on the back side of the 710 and the decorative unit 6750, the left transmission member 730 arranged on the left side of the decorative unit 6750 in the front view, and the crank cover 743 arranged on the right side of the front view of the decorative unit 6750. And are formed mainly with.

The decorative unit 6750 is mainly formed by including a box member 760 formed in a box shape in which the upper side in the direction of gravity is opened, and a rotating body 800 rotatably arranged inside the box member. That is, in the first embodiment, the decorative unit 750 is formed in a state where the rotating body 800 is arranged inside the box member 760 and the lid member 770, but in the sixth embodiment, the lid member 770 is removed. To.

The left transmission member 730 is attached to the drive motor KM4 arranged on the left side surface (left side in FIG. 136) of the decorative unit 750, the transmission member 6731 for transmitting the driving force of the drive motor KM4, and the drive motor KM4. Mainly, the motor base 732, the gear cover 733 that covers the transmission member 6731, and the throwing path cover 734 that is attached to the gear cover 733 and is formed with a predetermined gap between the gear cover 733 and the gear cover 733. Formed in preparation.

The transmission member 6731 includes a transmission gear 731a attached to the shaft of the drive motor KM4, a transmission gear 6731b meshing with the transmission gear 731a, a transmission gear 731c meshing with the transmission gear 6731b, and a transmission gear 731c. It is mainly provided with a transmission gear 731d which is arranged adjacent to and coaxially arranged by a shaft 735.

The transmission gear 6731b is a gear that transmits a driving force to the transmission gear 731c. In the first embodiment, the one-way clutch OW1 is attached to the inside of the transmission gear 731b, but the one-way clutch OW1 is removed from the transmission gear 6731b of the sixth embodiment. Further, since the transmission gear 731c and the transmission gear 731d are the same as those in the first embodiment, detailed description thereof will be omitted.

Therefore, when the driving force in one direction is transmitted from the drive motor KM4, the driving force for rotation can be transmitted to the shaft 735, and when the driving force in the other direction is transmitted from the drive motor KM4, the driving force in the other direction is transmitted to the inner ring of the one-way clutch OW1. The outer ring slips (idles) and the transmission of the driving force to the shaft 735 is cut off.

Next, the rotation of the rotating body 800 will be described with reference to FIGS. 139 and 140. 139 (a) to 139 (c) are side views of the decorative unit 6750 in the direction of arrow CXXXIX of FIG. 138, and FIGS. 140 (a) to 140 (c) are views of the arrow CXXXIX of FIG. 138. It is a side view of the decoration unit 6750 in.

In addition, in FIG. 139 and FIG. 140, the state in which the left side surface plate 765 of the box member 760 is viewed transparently is shown. Further, in FIGS. 139 (a) to 139 (c), the mode in which the center of gravity G of the rotating body 800 displaces the second section DK2 is shown in order, and in FIGS. 140 (a) to 140 (c), the rotating body The mode in which the center of gravity G of 800 displaces the first section DK1 is shown in order.

As shown in FIG. 139, when the driving force in one direction is transmitted from the drive motor KM4, the rotating body 800 is rotationally displaced in the left direction (viewing in the 139 direction) and clockwise (clockwise).

As described above, the rotating body 800 is formed asymmetrically around the rotation axis, and the center of gravity G is arranged at a position different from the rotation axis. Therefore, the rotating body 800 is rotated from the state where the center of gravity G shown in FIG. 140 (a) is arranged above the rotation axis, and the center of gravity G shown in FIG. 140 (b) is displaced to a position substantially horizontal to the rotation axis. When it starts, a force that rotates in the direction of rotation is applied by the load.

Therefore, the roller interposed between the outer ring and the inner ring of the one-way clutch OW1 arranged on the transmission gear 731c is disengaged, and the outer ring (rotating body 800 side) precedes the inner ring (drive motor side). It is in a state of being driven. That is, in the second section, the rotation speed of the rotating body 800 can be made faster than the rotation speed of the drive motor KM4.

The rotating body 800 that rotates the second section DK2 under the load is rotated by the load to a position where the center of gravity G shown in FIG. 139 (c) is located below the rotation axis.

On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 140, when the center of gravity G of the rotating body 800 is displaced in the first section DK1, the load of the rotating body 800 acts in the direction opposite to the direction of rotation. Therefore, the rotating body 800 is rotated according to the rotation speed of the drive motor KM4.

Therefore, in the sixth embodiment, the displacement speed of the rotating body 800 in the second section DK2 can be made faster than the displacement speed of the rotating body 800 in the first section DK1. As a result, it is possible to give a change to the displacement mode of the rotating body 800 and enhance the effect of following the displacement of the rotating body 800.

Next, a seventh embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 141 to 144. In the first embodiment described above, the case where the lid member 770 causes the outer ring of the one-way clutch OW1 to precede the inner ring (that is, the displacement speed of the lid member 770 is increased) by its own weight has been described. The displacement member 7710 in the embodiment uses the weight of the game ball to bring the outer ring of the one-way clutch OW1 ahead of the inner ring (that is, increase the displacement speed of the displacement member 7710). The same parts as those of the above-described embodiments are designated by the same reference numerals, and the description thereof will be omitted.

141 and 142 are schematic side views of the displacement unit 7700 according to the seventh embodiment. Note that FIG. 141 schematically shows a state in which the displacement member 7710 is arranged in the ascending position, and FIG. 142 schematically illustrates a state in which the displacement member 7710 is arranged in the descending position.

As shown in FIGS. 141 and 142, the displacement unit 7700 transmits a rotational driving force of a driving means (not shown, for example, an electric motor) to a displacement member 7710 formed so as to be slidable and the displacement member 7710. The transmission member 7720 and the load gear 7730 that is rotated according to the slide displacement of the displacement member 7710 are mainly provided.

The displacement member 7710 is a member that is supported by a support mechanism (not shown) so as to be linearly displaceable along the virtual line L1. The driven pin 7711 projecting from the side surface of the displacement member 7710 and the lower surface of the displacement member 7710. It mainly includes a rack gear 7712 engraved along the virtual line L1 and a ball receiving member 7713 rotatably supported at the tip of the displacement member 7710.

The virtual line L1 is set as a straight line that inclines downward from the ascending position shown in FIG. 141 toward the descending position shown in FIG. 142. That is, in the ascending position, the displacement member 7710 is positioned above the descending position in the direction of gravity.

The driven pin 7711 is a member that is slidably inserted into the drive groove 7723b in the arm member 7723 of the transmission member 7720, and is formed as a columnar body having an outer shape slightly smaller than the groove width of the drive groove 7723b. A load gear 7730 is meshed with the rack gear 7712, and the load gear 7730 is rotated with the slide displacement of the displacement member 7710.

The ball receiving member 7713 is a member for holding the game ball on the upper surface of the displacement member 7710, and by being rotated around the rotation shaft 7713a, the standing state shown in FIG. 141 and the tilted state shown in FIG. 142 can be obtained. It can be formed. In the upright state, the game ball can be held by projecting one end side from the upper surface of the displacement member 7710 (see FIG. 143). On the other hand, in the tilted state, since one end side is positioned below the upper surface of the displacement member 7710, the game ball can be discharged from the upper surface of the displacement member 7710 (see FIG. 144).

The ball receiving member 7713 is maintained in an upright state by an urging force acting from an urging spring (for example, a torsion spring) (not shown). An engaging pin 7740 is fixed on the track of the displacement member 7710 (ball receiving member 7713), and when the displacement member 7710 is slid and displaced to the descending position, the engaging pin is on the other end side of the ball receiving member 7713. When the 7740 is engaged, the ball receiving member 7713 is rotated and brought into a tilted state. On the other hand, when the displacement member 7710 is slid and displaced to the ascending position, the ball receiving member 7713 is rotated by the elastic recovery force of the urging spring to return to the tilted state.

The transmission member 7720 is a disk-shaped rotating member 7721 that is rotationally driven by a driving means (not shown) described above, and is projected from the axial end surface of the rotating member 7721 and is positioned eccentrically from the rotation center of the rotating member 7721. It mainly includes a columnar drive pin 7722 and an arm member 7723 in which a driven groove 7723a through which the drive pin 7722 is slidably inserted is formed.

A one-way clutch OW1 is interposed between the rotating member 7721 and the driving means. Specifically, in the one-way clutch OW1, when the inner ring is connected to the drive means, the outer ring is connected to the rotating member 7721, and the inner ring is rotationally driven by the drive means in the direction of arrow A (clockwise in FIG. 141). When the rotational driving force is transmitted to the outer ring (that is, the rotating member 7721 is rotated in the direction of arrow A), while the inner ring is rotationally driven by the driving means in the direction opposite to the direction of arrow A (counterclockwise in FIG. 141). , The power transmission to the outer ring (rotating member 7721) is cut off.

In the arm member 7723, a drive groove 7723b through which the driven pin 7711 of the displacement member 7710 is slidably inserted is formed on the other end side opposite to the one end side on which the driven groove 7723a is formed. At the same time, the space between the driven groove 7723a and the drive groove 7723b (intermediate portion) is rotatably supported by the rotation shaft 7723c.

The drive pin 7722 is formed as a columnar body having an outer shape slightly smaller than the groove width of the driven groove 7723a. Further, the driven groove 7723a and the drive groove 7723b are formed as linear grooves along the longitudinal direction of the arm member 7723.

According to the displacement unit 7700 formed as described above, when the rotating member 7721 is rotated in the direction of arrow A (clockwise in FIG. 141) from the state where the displacement member 7710 is arranged at the ascending position shown in FIG. 141. , The drive pin 7722 acts on the inner wall surface of the driven groove 7723a, and the arm member 7723 is rotated clockwise in FIG. 141 about the rotation shaft 7723c. As the arm member 7723 rotates clockwise, the inner wall surface of the drive groove 7723b acts in the direction of pushing down the driven pin 7711, so that the displacement member 7710 is slidably displaced along the virtual line L1 and is displaced in FIG. 142. It is placed in the descending position shown in.

On the other hand, when the rotating member 7721 is further rotated in the direction of arrow A (clockwise in FIG. 141) from the state where the displacement member 7710 is arranged at the descending position shown in FIG. 142, the drive pin 7722 is moved in the driven groove 7723a. Acting on the wall surface, the arm member 7723 is rotated counterclockwise in FIG. 141 about the rotation shaft 7723c. As the arm member 7723 rotates counterclockwise, the inner wall surface of the drive groove 7723b acts in the direction of pushing up the driven pin 7711, so that the displacement member 7710 is slid and displaced along the virtual line L1. It is arranged at the ascending position shown in 141.

Here, the load gear 7730 is formed so that a predetermined amount of resistance is generated when the load gear 7730 rotates, similarly to the load gear 731e in the first embodiment. As a result, the weight (own weight) of the displacement member 7710 acts on the arm member 7723 to rotate the rotating member 7721 in the direction of arrow A (clockwise in FIG. 141), so that the outer ring of the one-way clutch OW1 is relative to the inner ring. It is possible to suppress leading in one direction (arrow A direction). That is, when the game ball is not held, it is possible to prevent the displacement speed of the displacement member 7710 from being increased from the ascending position to the descending position.

That is, while the rotating member 7721 is rotated in the direction of arrow A (clockwise in FIGS. 141 and 142) by the rotational driving force of the driving means, the rotating member 7721 is displaced at a sliding speed corresponding to the rotational driving speed of the rotational driving means. The member 7710 is reciprocally displaced (sliding displacement) between the ascending position and the descending position.

143 and 144 are schematic side views of the displacement unit 7700 when the game ball is held by the displacement member 7710. Note that FIG. 143 schematically shows a state in which the displacement member 7710 is arranged in the ascending position, and FIG. 144 schematically illustrates a state in which the displacement member 7710 is arranged in the descending position.

As shown in FIGS. 143 and 144, the displacement member 7710 is formed on the upper surface thereof so as to be able to hold the game ball. That is, in the present embodiment, the displacement unit 7700 is arranged in the area where the game ball flows down in the game area, and the displacement member 7710 is formed so that the flowing game ball can be received by the upper surface thereof. Note that FIG. 143 exemplifies a state in which the four game balls indicated by reference numeral T are held on the upper surface of the displacement member 7710.

In this case, when the displacement member 7710 holds the game ball, the weight of the displacement member 7710 as a whole is increased (heavier) by the weight of the game ball to exceed the resistance due to the rotation of the load gear 7730. Can be made to. That is, the weight of the entire displacement member 7710 (weight including the game ball) is applied to the arm member 7723, and the rotating member 7721 is rotated in the direction of arrow A (clockwise in FIG. 143) to rotate the outer ring of the one-way clutch OW1. Can be preceded in one direction (arrow A direction) with respect to the inner ring. As a result, the displacement speed of the displacement member 7710 when going from the ascending position to the descending position can be made faster than the displacement speed when the game ball is not held (see FIG. 141).

Further, the weight of the displacement member 7710 as a whole can be made different according to the number of game balls held. As a result, the displacement speed of the displacement member 7710 can be changed (changed) not only depending on whether or not the game ball is held by the displacement member 7710, but also depending on the number of the game balls held. As a result, the variation of the displacement speed of the displacement member 7710 can be increased, and the effect of the effect accompanying the displacement of the displacement member 7710 can be enhanced accordingly.

As described above, the displacement member 7710 is provided with a ball receiving member 7713 at its tip (end on the downwardly inclined side). Therefore, when the displacement member 7710 (the upper surface thereof or the ball receiving member 7713) receives the game ball flowing down the game area, the force acted on the displacement member 7710 from the game ball is slid toward the descending position. It can act as a force to displace. That is, the applied force can be applied to the outer ring of the one-way clutch OW1 in the direction leading in one direction (arrow A direction) with respect to the inner ring via the arm member 7723 and the rotating member 7721.

As a result, when the displacement member 7710 (the upper surface thereof or the ball receiving member 7713) receives the flowing game ball, the kinetic energy of the game ball is used to slide the displacement member 7710 in the descending position. The displacement rate of displacement can be made faster.

In this case, the flowing game balls have different flow directions and flow speeds. Therefore, the force (magnitude of kinetic energy) applied to the displacement member 7710 can be made different according to the difference in the flow state (flow direction and flow speed) of the game ball to be received. As a result, the displacement speed of the displacement member 7710 differs (changes) depending not only on whether or not the displacement member 7710 holds the game ball and the number of the game balls held, but also on the flow state of the game ball. Can be done). As a result, the variation of the displacement speed of the displacement member 7710 can be increased, and the effect of the effect accompanying the displacement of the displacement member 7710 can be enhanced accordingly.

Further, in the seventh embodiment, since the rotation direction of the rotating member 7721 is unidirectional, it is not necessary to switch the driving direction of the driving means. In other words, the displacement member 7710 can be reciprocally displaced by continuously rotating the rotating means in one direction. Therefore, it is possible to eliminate the time for switching the driving direction of the driving means. As a result, the displacement member 7710 can be immediately displaced because it does not require switching of the drive means.

In this case, by immediately displacementing the displacement member 7710, the ball receiving member 7713 is rotationally displaced due to the reaction when the displacement member 7710 (the upper surface thereof or the ball receiving member 7713) drops the game ball received by the displacement member 7710. The rattling of the displacement member 7710 can be suppressed.

That is, when the game ball is dropped from the displacement member 7710 (ball receiving member 7713), the load of the displacement member 7710 is reduced by the amount of the dropped game ball, and the displacement member 7710 is likely to be displaced upward due to the reaction. However, by immediately displacing the displacement member 7710, the reaction due to the displacement of the ball receiving member 7713 exerts a force that displaces the displacement member 7710 downward to cancel the reaction when the ball is dropped from the displacement member 7710. be able to.

The game ball flowing down the game area is not limited to the game ball that moves in the front surface (front surface) of the game board 13 along the direction of gravity, and also includes a game ball that moves in a direction different from the direction of gravity. Game balls that move in a direction different from the direction of gravity include, for example, a game ball that collides with a nail, tulip, or an accessory and moves in a direction different from the direction of gravity, or rolls a stage and then jumps out of the stage. An example is a game ball that moves in a direction different from the direction of gravity.

Here, in the present embodiment, by providing the load gear 7730, when the displacement member 7710 is not holding the game ball (see FIG. 141), the displacement member 7710 is slidably displaced toward the descending position. The outer ring of the one-way clutch OW1 is configured so as not to precede the inner ring in one direction (direction of arrow A) (that is, the displacement speed of the displacement member 7710 does not increase).

On the other hand, when the load gear 7730 is omitted or the resistance of the load gear 7730 is set to a small value and the displacement member 7710 is slidably displaced toward the descending position, the outer ring of the one-way clutch OW1 is displaced with respect to the inner ring. It may be configured so as to precede in one direction (direction of arrow A) (that is, the displacement speed of the displacement member 7710 becomes faster). That is, even when only the weight (own weight) of the displacement member 7710 is applied to the arm member 7723 and the rotating member 7721 is rotated in the direction of arrow A (clockwise in FIG. 141), the outer ring of the one-way clutch OW1 becomes the inner ring. On the other hand, it may be preceded.

Next, the upper plate 8017 in the eighth embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 145 to 148. On the upper plate 8017 in the eighth embodiment, the rotation operation unit 8650 is arranged at a substantially central position in the left-right direction when viewed from the front. The same parts as those in the above embodiments are designated by the same reference numerals, and the description thereof will be omitted.

First, the overall configuration of the rotation operation unit 8650 according to the eighth embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 145 to 147. FIG. 145 is a front view of the pachinko machine 10 according to the eighth embodiment. FIG. 146 is an exploded perspective front view of the rotation operation unit 8650. FIG. 147 is a schematic cross-sectional view of the pachinko machine 10 in the CXLVII-CXLVII line of FIG. 145.

As shown in FIGS. 145 to 147, the rotation operation unit 8650 is arranged in the internal space of the upper plate 8017 of the pachinko machine 10, and the outer peripheral surface of the rotation operation unit 8654 described later protrudes outward of the upper plate 8017. It is arranged in the state of being.

The rotation operation unit 8650 includes a drive motor KM6, a transmission gear 8651 connected to the shaft portion of the drive motor KM6, a transmission gear 8652 meshed with the outer peripheral surface of the transmission gear 8651, and a shaft of the transmission gear 8652. It is mainly formed by including a shaft portion 8653 that is internally fitted into the hole, a one-way clutch OW1 in which an inner ring is externally fitted in the shaft portion 8653, and a rotation operation portion 8654 in which the outer ring of the one-way clutch OW1 is internally fitted. ..

The transmission gear 8651 is connected to the shaft of the drive motor KM6. Therefore, the transmission gear 8651 can be rotated by applying a rotational driving force to the drive motor KM6. As described above, the transmission gear 8651 is arranged with the transmission gear 8652 in a meshed state. Therefore, when the driving force for rotation is applied to the drive motor KM6, the transmission gear 8652 can be rotated via the transmission gear 8651.

The shaft portion 8653 is a rod member formed in a columnar shape, and its axial length is formed longer than the width dimension in the left-right direction of the rotation operation portion 8654. As described above, one of the shaft portions 8653 is fitted into the shaft hole of the transmission gear 8652, and the other is inserted into the inner ring of the one-way clutch OW1. As a result, the driving force when the transmission gear 8652 is rotated can be transmitted to the one-way clutch OW1.

As described above, the one-way clutch OW1 is formed of an inner ring, an outer ring, and a roller engaged between them. When the inner ring is rotated in one direction, the rotation of the inner ring can be transmitted to the outer ring and the inner ring is moved in the other direction. When rotated, the rotation of the inner ring can be non-transmitted to the outer ring.

The rotation operation unit 8654 is formed in an annular shape, and is arranged in a state in which a part of the outer peripheral surface thereof protrudes from the upper plate 8017. Further, the outer ring of the one-way clutch OW1 is internally fitted in the inner circle portion of the rotation operation portion 8654. That is, the inward tilt of the rotation operation unit 8654 is formed to be substantially the same as the outer diameter of the one-way clutch OW1. Therefore, the rotation of the rotation operation unit 8654 is transmitted by rotating the outer ring of the one-way clutch OW1.

As a result, when the drive motor KM6 is driven and rotated in one direction, the rotation is transmitted to the outer ring of the one-way clutch OW1 via the transmission gears 8651, 8652 and the inner ring of the one-way clutch OW1, and the rotation operation unit 8654. Is rotated. On the other hand, when the drive motor KM6 is driven and rotated in the other direction, the inner ring and the outer ring of the one-way clutch OW1 are not transmitted, and the transmission of the rotational drive to the rotation operation unit 8654 is cut off.

Next, a case where the player operates the rotation operation unit 8654 will be described with reference to FIG. 148. FIG. 148 is a schematic cross-sectional view of the pachinko machine 10. The cross section of FIG. 148 corresponds to that of FIG. 147.

As described above, the rotation operation unit 8654 rotates the rotation operation unit 8654 by rotating the drive motor KM6 to rotate the rotation operation unit 8654 and by making the rotation of the drive motor KM6 non-rotate. It is possible to form a mode in which the displacement is stopped.

Further, as shown in FIG. 148, when the drive motor KM6 is rotated in one direction and the rotation operation unit 8654 is rotated in the A direction, the player operates the outer peripheral surface of the rotation operation unit 8654 to operate the rotation operation unit. When a rotational force is generated in the 8654 in the same direction as the rotation A direction, the outer peripheral surface of the one-way clutch OW1 and the rotation operation unit 8654 are rotated in advance. That is, the rotation operation unit 8654 can be operated at a speed higher than the rotation speed of the drive motor KM6 by the operation of the player.

Further, when the rotation operation unit 8654 is set to non-rotation (the drive motor KM6 is non-rotation), the player applies a driving force to the rotation operation unit 8654 in the rotation A direction to rotationally displace the rotation operation unit 8654. be able to.

Therefore, in the eighth embodiment, not only the rotation operation unit 8654 forms a non-rotational or rotation state by driving the drive motor KM6, but also the rotation operation unit 8654 rotates from the stopped state by the operation of the player. And the rotation operation unit 8654 can be formed in a mode in which the rotation operation unit 8654 is rotated at a higher speed from the rotation state by the operation of the player.

As a result, it is possible to form a plurality of modes in which the player can visually recognize the displacement mode of the rotation operation unit 8654, which can give the player an interest. Further, by forming a plurality of rotation modes of the rotation operation unit 8654, it is possible to form a plurality of production modes of the pachinko machine 10, so that the effect can be increased, and the player can be given an interest.

A sensor device or the like for measuring the number of rotations is arranged on the side surface of the rotation operation unit 8654, and it is possible to perform an effect that is changed based on the rotation speed and the rotation speed of the rotation operation unit 8654.

Next, the first link member 9431 according to the ninth embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. 149. The plate-shaped protrusion 9431b of the first link member 9431 in the ninth embodiment includes an inclined surface 9431b1 formed by inclining the contact surface with the cam member 422. The same parts as those in the above embodiments are designated by the same reference numerals, and the description thereof will be omitted.

FIG. 149 (a) is a perspective front view of the first link member 9431 according to the ninth embodiment, and FIG. 149 (b) is a schematic cross-sectional view of the lower displacement unit 400. Note that FIG. 149 (b) corresponds to the schematic cross-sectional view of FIG. 56 (a).

The lower displacement unit 400 in the ninth embodiment is the same as the lower displacement unit 400 in the first embodiment, the base member 410 arranged on the bottom wall portion 301 (see FIG. 6) of the back case 300, and the base member 410 thereof. It includes a transmission member 420 arranged on the base member 410, and a lower displacement member 440 (see FIG. 45) that is displaced by transmitting a driving force from the transmission member 420. Further, the lower displacement unit 400 in the ninth embodiment includes a link member 9430 that is connected to the base member 410 and the lower displacement member 440 and is displaced by driving the transmission member 420, and is displaced by the displacement of the link member 9430. The lower displacement member 440 is displaced.

As shown in FIG. 149, the first link member 9431 according to the ninth embodiment is formed by being bent into a dogleg shape in front view, and is formed into a plate shape having a predetermined thickness in the front-rear direction. The first link member 9431 has a through hole 431a penetrating in the front-rear direction on one end side (the side in the direction of arrow D in FIG. 149 (a)) and the other end side (the side in the direction of arrow U in FIG. 149 (a)). A columnar connecting projection 431c (see FIG. 46), a plate-shaped projection 9431b projecting at a position facing the curved wall portion 411e of the base member 410, and a columnar sliding projection 431d projecting to the front side of the bent portion. And prepare.

The plate-shaped protrusion 9431b is extended in a curved shape about the axis of the through hole 431a, and is projected toward the front side (front base 411 side (arrow F direction side)). Further, the protruding dimension of the plate-shaped protrusion 9431b is set to be larger than the thickness (dimension in the arrow FB direction) of the cam member 422. Further, the base member 410 (curved wall portion 411e) facing the projecting tip surface of the plate-shaped protrusion 9431b is arranged with a slight gap (distance X14 (see FIG. 149 (b))).

The cam member 422 is arranged in a displaceable state between the front surface of the first link member 9431 excluding the plate-shaped protrusion 9431b and the projecting surface (back surface) of the curved wall portion 411e facing each other. Further, the dimensions of the two gaps including the gap between the cam member 422 and the first link member 9431 facing each other and the gap between the cam member 422 and the base member 410 facing each other are larger than the above-mentioned distance X14. It is set large.

As a result, the base member 410 (curved wall portion 411e) facing the projecting tip surface of the plate-shaped protrusion 9431b when the first link member 9431 bends in the direction in which the above-mentioned distance X14 becomes smaller (arrow F direction). Can be brought into contact with. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the cam member 422 from being sandwiched between the front surface of the first link member 9431 excluding the plate-shaped protrusion 9431b and the projecting surface (back surface) of the curved wall portion 411e to regulate the displacement.

Further, the plate-shaped protrusion 9431b is provided with an inclined surface 9431b1 that projects toward the front side toward the cam member 422 on the side surface in the circumferential direction on the cam member 422 side (the side in the direction of arrow L in FIG. 149 (b)). As shown in FIG. 149 (b), the inclined surface 9431b1 is formed so as to be inclined by approximately 45 degrees toward the protruding side (the side in the direction of arrow F).

As a result, when the lower displacement unit 400 is in the second displacement state and the end portion of the cam member 422 comes into contact with the plate-shaped protrusion 9431b, the cam member 422 is placed on the back surface of the first link member 9431 (on the side in the direction of arrow F). It can be pressed (displaced) against the curved wall portion 411e, and the protruding tip surface (the surface on the arrow F direction side) of the plate-shaped protrusion 9431b of the first link member 9431 can be pressed against the curved wall portion 411e. As a result, it is possible to suppress the cam member 422 and the first link member 9431 from swinging in the front-rear direction (arrow FB direction), and it is possible to easily maintain the lower displacement member 440 in the position of the second displacement state.

In this case, it is preferable that a flat surface parallel to the inclined surface 9431b1 is formed at the end portion of the cam member 422 at the contact portion with the inclined surface 9431b1. As a result, when the cam member 422 and the inclined surface 9431b1 come into contact with each other, the cam member 422 can be easily displaced to the back surface side (arrow B direction side).

Next, the general winning opening unit 10150 in the tenth embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. 150. In the first embodiment, the general winning opening unit 150 has described the case where the adhesive tape 154a is attached to the end portion of the decorative member 154. However, in the tenth embodiment, the adhesive tape 10154a is attached to the end portion of the decorative member 10154. It is affixed to the inside that separates a predetermined width from the part. The same parts as those in the above embodiments are designated by the same reference numerals, and the description thereof will be omitted.

FIG. 150 is a cross-sectional view of the game board 13 according to the tenth embodiment. Note that FIG. 150 corresponds to the cross-sectional view of FIG. Further, the general winning opening unit 10150 in the tenth embodiment is arranged in the game area (front of the base plate 60) of the game board 13 like the general winning opening unit 150 in the first embodiment, and flows down the game area. It is possible to change the route of the game ball to be played. Further, the general winning opening unit 10150 is the end on the lower side (arrow D direction side) in the gravity direction in the front view (arrow B direction view) with respect to the game area formed by being surrounded by the inner rail 76 and the outer rail 77. It is placed along the part.

Further, the general winning opening unit 10150 has a main body portion 151 formed in a crescent shape in a front view, and a first standing portion 152 erected on the front side (arrow F direction side) from the end portion of the main body portion 151. (See FIG. 12) and the second erection portion 153 extending from the end of the first erection portion 152 on the upper side in the gravity direction (arrow U direction side) toward the center side of the game area (FIG. 12 (FIG. 12). A) and a plurality of (three in this embodiment) general winning openings 63 (see FIG. 12A) formed on the front side of the main body 151.

As shown in FIG. 150, the general winning opening unit 10150 in the tenth embodiment includes a decorative member 10154 arranged on the back surface of the main body 10151. The decorative member 10154 has an adhesive tape 10154a adhered to the main body 151 attached to the inside of the decorative member 10154 with a predetermined width from the end. As a result, a predetermined gap (space) is formed at the end of the decorative member 10154 by the thickness of the adhesive tape 10154a between the main body 151 and the decorative member 10154. As a result, when the player visually recognizes the general winning opening unit 10150 from an angle equal to or greater than a predetermined angle (for example, a viewpoint having the same height as the upper end in the gravity direction of the pachinko machine 10 (see FIG. 1)), the decorative member 60c It is possible to make it difficult for the player to visually recognize the boundary between the decorative member 10154 and the decoration.

More specifically, by forming an air layer between the decorative member 10154 and the main body 151, the inside of the main body 151 is reflected and the player side is seen from the end (inclined surface 151a) of the main body 151. It is possible to prevent the light L emitted from the light L from being affected by the decoration at the end portion of the decorative member 10154 (making it difficult for the wavelength of the light L to be changed). Further, the light that has passed through the inside of the adhesive tape 10154a and is affected by the decoration of the decorative member 10154 is repeatedly reflected inside the main body 151 and emitted to the outside of the main body 151. When reflected toward the viewpoint, the influence of the decoration of the decorative member 10154 can be reduced.

Therefore, the change in the wavelength of the light L emitted to the player can be reduced, and when the player visually recognizes the general winning opening unit 10150 from a predetermined angle or more, the decorative member 60c and the decorative member 10154 are decorated. It is possible to make it difficult to recognize the boundary of. As a result, when the player visually recognizes the decorations of the decorative member 60c and the decorative member 10154 from a normal angle (for example, a viewpoint having a height substantially equal to the position substantially intermediate in the gravity direction of the game board 13), the decoration of the base plate is performed. The member 60c and the decoration of the decorative member 10154 can be easily visually recognized by the player as one decoration, and at a predetermined angle (for example, a viewpoint at the same height as the upper end in the gravity direction of the pachinko machine 10 (see FIG. 1)). When visually recognizing from, it is possible to make it difficult for the player to see the decoration of the boundary portion and to make it difficult for the player to understand that the decoration is divided.

Next, the lower displacement member 11440 according to the eleventh embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 151 to 153. In the first embodiment, the case where the decorative member 450 is irradiated with light by the control board 491 arranged on the back surface side of the lower displacement member 440 has been described, but the lower displacement member 11440 of the eleventh embodiment is the control board. The position of the game ball inside can be recognized by the player by the light emitted from 491. The same parts as those in the above embodiments are designated by the same reference numerals, and the description thereof will be omitted.

First, the overall configuration of the lower displacement member 11440 according to the eleventh embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 151 and 152. FIG. 151 is an exploded perspective front view of the lower displacement member 11440 according to the eleventh embodiment. 152 (a) and 152 (b) are front views of the lower displacement member 11440. In FIG. 152 (a), the outer shape of the light emitting body 11491a arranged on the control board 491 is shown by a chain line, and in FIG. 152 (b), the state in which the decorative member 11450 is removed is shown.

As shown in FIGS. 152 (a) and 152 (b), the lower displacement member 11440 in the eleventh embodiment is the base member 470 connected to the front base 411 (see FIG. 45) and the front and rear of the base member 470. A case member 480 that covers the case member 480, a transmission mechanism 11460 that is displaceably arranged between the case member 480 and the base member 470, and a decorative member that is formed so as to cover the front and rear (arrow FB direction) of the case member 480. 11450 and are formed mainly.

The decorative member 11450 is formed in an outer shape imitating a pattern or character, and a picture of the pattern or character is drawn on the surface. The decorative member 11450 has a front side decorative portion 11451 arranged on the front side (arrow F direction side) of the front case 481 and a back side decorative portion 11451 arranged on the back side (arrow B direction side) of the back case 482. It is formed mainly with 452. In this embodiment, a shark pattern (character) is drawn on the decorative member 11450.

The front side decorative portion 11451 is formed to have an outer shape larger than the outer shape of the front case 481 in the front view, and is attached to the front case 481. As a result, the members (case member 480, base member 470, etc.) arranged on the back side of the front side decorative portion 11451 can be made invisible to the player. Further, the front side decorative portion 11451 includes a transmission portion 11451b formed of a light transmitting material inside in front view.

The transmission portion 11451b is formed over the entire range of positions facing the plurality of light emitting bodies 11491a arranged on the control board 491 to be described later, and can guide the light emitted from the plurality of light emitting bodies 11491a to the player side. It is said that. Further, the transmission portion 11451b is formed so that the front side (arrow F direction side) is curved toward the back side (arrow B direction side) toward the outer end portion in the vertical direction (arrow UD direction). As a result, when the light incident from the back surface side of the transmitting portion 11451b passes through the inside of the transmitting portion 11451b and is emitted from the front side, it is easily diffused.

The transmission mechanism 11460 is a member arranged on the front side (arrow F direction side) of the base member 470, and includes a transmission gear 461, 462, 463, a drive motor KM2 whose shaft portion is connected to the transmission gear 461, and a drive motor KM2. A movable rack 464 having a tooth surface that meshes with the transmission gear 463 and is arranged so that the front side of the base member 470 can be slidably displaced, a transmission gear 465 rotatably arranged on the movable rack 464, and a base. A rack gear 476 having a tooth surface formed on the member 470 and meshed with the transmission gear 465, and a rack having a tooth surface meshed with the transmission gear 465 and displaceable on the front side of the movable rack 464 so as to be slidable. It mainly includes an 11466 and a ball receiving portion 467 that is rotatably arranged on one end side of the rack 11466.

The rack 11466 is formed of a horizontally long rod-shaped body having a rectangular shape when viewed from the front, and has a rack gear 466a engraved on the upper end surface and a rear end side (arrow B direction side) from the other end side (arrow L direction side) in the longitudinal direction. A shaft portion 466b projecting in a columnar shape, two sliding plates 466c projecting toward the front side (arrow F direction side), and a recess in the back surface from one end in the longitudinal direction (arrow R direction side) to the other end. A recessed portion 466d (see FIG. 59) to be provided, and a shielding plate 11466e projecting upward (in the direction of arrow U) from the front side of the rack gear 466a are provided.

The shielding plate 11466e is made of a non-light transmissive material, and can block the light emitted from the light emitting body 11491a. Further, the shielding plate 11466e is set so that the upward projecting height (height in the arrow U direction) is higher than the light emitting body 11491a arranged on the back surface side (position on the arrow U direction side). As a result, the shielding plate 11466e can be displaced in the front-rear direction (arrow FB direction) with the displacement of the rack 11466 to block the light emitted from the light emitting body 11491a.

The control board 491 is arranged on the back surface side (arrow B direction side) of the base member 470, and includes a plurality of light emitting bodies 11491a capable of irradiating light on the front surface side. The plurality of light emitting bodies 11491a are arranged side by side in the longitudinal direction (arrow LR direction) of the lower displacement member 11440, and are arranged on the front side (arrow F direction side) via the base member 470. It is arranged above 467 (in the direction of arrow U). As a result, it is possible to prevent the ball receiving portion 467 from blocking the light emitted from the light emitting body 11491a.

Next, a state in which the game ball is thrown inside the ball receiving portion 467 will be described with reference to FIG. 153. 153 (a) is a front view of the lower displacement member 11440, and FIG. 153 (b) is a schematic cross-sectional view of the lower displacement member 11440 in the CLIIIb-CLIIIb line of FIG. 153 (a). ) Is a schematic cross-sectional view of the lower displacement member 11440 in the CLIIIc-CLIIIc line of FIG. 153 (a).

As shown in FIG. 153, when the game ball is received by the ball receiving portion 467, the accepted game ball is arranged at a position overlapping the front side (arrow F direction side) of the light emitting body 11491a. As a result, the game ball received by the ball receiving unit 467 can block the light emitted from the light emitting body 11491a to the player side. As a result, the position of the game ball thrown inside the lower displacement member 11440 can be recognized by the player by the shadow formed by blocking the light.

Further, in the eleventh embodiment, the control board 491 is provided on the back surface side of the decorative member 11450 and can emit light toward the displacement region of the ball receiving portion 467, and the control board 491 is the ball receiving portion 467. A game ball arranged on the back side and received by the ball receiving portion 467 or the ball receiving portion 467 blocks the light emitted from the control board 491 and partially reduces the amount of light emitted from the decorative member 11450. The amount of light emitted from the decorative member 11450 located on the front side of the game ball received by the ball receiving portion 467 or the ball receiving portion 467 and the light emitted from the decorative member 11450 at other positions are different from each other. By making the amount of light different from that of the above (darkening to form a shadow), the player can determine that the game ball received by the ball receiving portion 467 or the ball receiving portion 467 is located on the back side of the portion having the different light amount.

As a result, the player can be made to recognize that the ball receiving portion 467 or the game ball received by the ball receiving portion 467 is located on the back side of the portion where the amount of light emitted from the decorative member 11450 is small (dark).

Further, the ball receiving portion 467 is formed in a shape that receives the lower hemisphere of the game ball, and the light emitting body 11491a is arranged at a position higher than the center of the game ball received by the ball receiving portion 467. It is possible to make it difficult for the irradiated light to be applied to the ball receiving portion 467. Therefore, the light emitted from the light emitting body 11491a casts a shadow on the outer shape of the rack 11466 that slides and displaces the ball receiving portion 467 that receives the game ball and the ball receiving portion 467, and a shadow is formed on the transmitting portion 11451b. Can be suppressed. As a result, since the shadow can be formed on the transmission portion 11451b only by the game ball received by the ball receiving portion 467, the ball receiving portion 467 is displaced while the game ball is not received by the ball receiving portion 467. In this case, it is possible to prevent the player's line of sight from paying attention to the ball receiving portion 467.

Next, the ball receiving portion 12467 in the twelfth embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 154 and 155. In the eleventh embodiment, the case where the light emitted from the light emitting body 11491a is blocked by the game ball received by the ball receiving portion 467 has been described, but in the twelfth embodiment, the ball receiving portion 12467 is arranged.

And.

The receiving piece 12467c4 is a portion forming a side surface on the other side (arrow R direction side) formed in a U shape in front view by the first piece 12467c and the second piece 12467d, and is formed in a crescent shape on the front side. , Is formed in a curved shape that is concave in the direction away from the second piece 12467d.

The connecting portion 12467c1 is projected from two positions at a predetermined interval in the axial direction (arrow FB direction) of the bent portion 12467c5. Further, the connecting portion 12467c1 is a portion that connects the second piece 12467d and the third piece 12467e, which will be described later, and provides a connecting hole 12467c2 that extends along the axial direction of the shaft hole 467b and is opened in a circular cross section. Be prepared.

The connecting hole 12467c2 is an opening into which the shaft portion 12467e3 projecting from the third piece 12467e, which will be described later, is inserted. In the connecting hole 12467c2, the shaft portion 12467e3 inserted into the insertion hole 12467d3 formed in the second piece 12467d, which will be described later, is inserted from the back surface side (arrow B direction side). Further, the shaft portion 12467e3 is fastened by a screw inserted from the side opposite to the insertion side (front side (arrow F direction side)) of the connecting hole 12467c2. As a result, the second piece 12467d and the third piece 12467e can be fastened to the first piece 12467c.

Further, the first piece 12467c is provided with a recess 12467c3 that is recessed downward in the direction of gravity (side in the direction of arrow D) on the projecting base end side of the connecting portion 12467c1. The recessed bottom surface of the recess 12467c3 is formed at the lowest position (bottom) of the bottom surface where the game ball is held by the first piece 12467c and the second piece 12467d. As a result, the game balls held by the first piece 12467c and the second piece 12467d are rolled inside the recess 12467c3.

The second piece 12467d is a portion forming the side surface of the other side (arrow L direction side) formed in a U shape in the front view by the receiving piece 12467c4 and the second piece 12467d of the first piece 12467c, and is a crescent moon in the front view. It is formed in a curved shape that is concave in the direction away from the receiving piece 12467c4. Further, an insertion hole 12467d3 that opens in a circular shape in the front-rear direction (arrow FB direction) at the connecting portion of the first piece 12467c and the second piece 12467d, and the back side (arrow B direction side) to the front side (arrow F direction). It mainly includes a recessed portion 12467d2 that is recessed in a circular cross section toward the side).

In the second piece 12467d, the shaft portion 12467e3 of the third piece 12467e is inserted into the insertion hole 12467d3, and the connecting shaft 12467e4 of the third piece 12467e is inserted into the recessed portion 12467d2. Therefore, when the second piece 12567d is displaced, the third piece 12467e is also displaced as well. Therefore, when the second piece 12567d is rotationally displaced with respect to the first piece 12467c, the third piece 12567e is also rotationally displaced with respect to the first piece 12467c.

Further, the second piece 12467d is arranged between the facing portions of the connecting portions 12467c1 projecting at two positions of the first piece 12467c, and is connected to the first piece 12467c. As a result, when the second piece 12467d is twisted in the axial direction of the insertion hole 12467d3, the second piece 12467d is brought into contact with the side surface of the connecting portion 12467c1 on the opposite side to prevent the shaft portion 12467e3 from breaking.

The recessed portion 12467d2 is a hole into which the connecting shaft 12467e4 of the third piece 12467e, which will be described later, is inserted, and is recessed in substantially the same shape as the connecting shaft 12467e4.

The third piece 12467e includes a shielding plate 12467e1 formed in a substantially semicircular plate shape in front view, a shaft portion 12467e3 and a connecting shaft 12467e4 projecting from the shielding plate 12467e1 toward the front side (arrow F direction side). And.

The shielding plate 12467e1 is formed of a non-light transmissive material, and when arranged on the front side of the light emitting body 11491a, it can shield the light emitted from the light emitting body 11491a. The light shielding of the light emitting body 11491a by the shielding plate 12467e1 will be described later.

As described above, the shaft portion 12467e3 is a cylindrical body inserted into the connecting hole 12467c2 of the first piece 12467c and the insertion hole 12467d3 of the second piece 12467d. Further, on the protruding tip surface of the shaft portion 12467e3, a hole into which a screw to be inserted into the connecting hole 12467c2 can be screwed is formed from the side opposite to the insertion side of the shaft portion 12467e3. Therefore, with the shaft portion 12467e3 inserted into the connecting hole 12467c2 and the insertion hole 12467d3, the first piece 12467c, the second piece 12467d, and the third piece 12467e are connected by fastening a screw to the insertion tip surface of the shaft portion 12467e3. And the third piece 12467e can be made rotatable with respect to the first piece 12467c.

As described above, the connecting shaft 12467e4 is inserted into the recessed portion 12467d2 of the second piece 12467d. As a result, when the second piece 12467d is rotationally displaced with respect to the first piece 12467c about the shaft portion 12467e3, the connecting shaft 12467e4 can be displaced along with the displacement of the second piece 12467d. Therefore, the third piece 12467e can be displaced with the displacement of the second piece 12467d.

Next, with reference to FIG. 155, the displacement of the ball receiving portion 12467 in the twelfth embodiment will be described in detail. 155 (a) and 155 (b) are front views of the lower displacement member 12440, and FIG. 155 (c) is a schematic cross-sectional view of the lower displacement member 12440 in the CLVc-CLVc line of FIG. 155 (b). is there. In addition, in FIG. 155 (a) and FIG. 155 (b), a part of the lower displacement member 12440 and the light emitting body 11491a are shown by a chain line. Further, FIG. 155 (a) shows a state before the game ball is received by the ball receiving portion 12467 (before being held), and in FIG. 155 (b), the game ball is received by the ball receiving portion 12467. The (held) state is illustrated.

As shown in FIG. 155, in the ball receiving portion 12467, in the state before the game ball is received between the first piece 12467c and the second piece 12467d facing each other, the second piece 12467d is the first due to the load of the third piece 12467e. It is in a state of approaching the piece 12467c side, and the third piece 12467e is positioned below the light emitting body 11491a arranged on the back surface side of the ball receiving portion 12467. Therefore, before the game ball is received by the ball receiving portion 12467, the light emitted from the light emitting body 11491a can be emitted to the player side.

On the other hand, when the game ball is received between the first piece 12467c and the second piece 12467d, the accepted game ball is formed on the receiving surface (front view U-shape) of the first piece 12467c and the second piece 12467d. The inner side surface) is rolled and guided to the recess 12467c3 located at the lowermost end of the receiving surface. As a result, the second piece 12467d can be rotated around the shaft portion 12467e3 on the outer surface of the game ball in a direction away from the first piece 12467c. As a result, the third piece 12467e, which moves with the displacement of the second piece 12467d, can be arranged on the front side (arrow F direction side) of the light emitting body 11491a arranged on the back side of the ball receiving portion 12467.

Therefore, the light emitted from the light emitting body 11491a can be shielded by the shielding plate 12467e1 of the third piece 12467e. As a result, the light emitted from the light emitting body 11491a can be easily shielded only when the game ball is received by the ball receiving portion 12467. Therefore, the position of the game ball received by the lower displacement member 12440 can be determined by the light emitting body 11491a. The player can be made to recognize the position of the shadow that blocks the light.

Further, in the second piece 12467d, the connecting shaft 12467e4 is inserted into the recessed portion 12467d2, and the load of the third piece 12467e is always applied. The center of gravity G of the third piece 12467e (see FIG. 154 (b)) is set on the opposite side of the connecting portion with the second piece 12567d and the third piece 12567e with the shaft portion 12467e3 in between. As a result, in a state where no force other than gravity acts on the second piece 12467d and the third piece 12467de, the load of the third piece 12467e can rotate the second piece 12467d toward the first piece 12467c. ..

Therefore, when the game ball is ejected (taken out) from the ball receiving portion 12467, the second piece 12467d can be displaced to the receiving piece 12467c4 side of the first piece 12467c by the load of the third piece 12467e.

Further, the ball receiving portion 12467 is rotated around the shaft hole 12467b by the operation of sliding displacement inside the lower displacement member 12440, similarly to the ball receiving portion 467 in the first embodiment, and the lower displacement member 12440 is emitted. The game ball received from the opening 471 (see FIG. 66) is discharged to the outside.

Here, as a structure for discharging the game ball received by the ball receiving portion 12467, in the structure in which the ball receiving portion 12467 is rotated around the shaft hole 467b as the ball receiving portion 12467 slides, the ball receiving portion 12467 The rotation speed of the ball receiving portion 12467 around the shaft hole 467b is changed by the sliding speed of. Therefore, since the rotation speed depends only on the slide speed of the ball receiving portion 12467, there is a problem that the discharge speed of the game ball from the ball receiving portion 12467 is not stable.

On the other hand, in the twelfth embodiment, the direction in which the second piece 12467d is rotated by the load of the third piece 12467e and the direction in which the ball receiving portion 12467 about the shaft hole 467b when the game ball is ejected are different. Since the directions are set to be substantially the same, it is possible to apply a driving force when the second piece 12467d is displaced to the game ball emitted from the exit opening 471. Therefore, even if the force acting on the game ball from the ball receiving portion 12467 when the ball receiving portion 12467 is displaced and the game ball is discharged from the exit opening 471 is reduced, the speed of the ejected game ball can be maintained. it can. As a result, the discharge speed of the game ball emitted from the ball receiving portion 12467 can be stabilized.

Further, the protruding dimensions of the fourth convex portion 13571b and the fifth convex portion 13571c protruding from the base plate 13571 toward the front side are set to be the same. Further, the protruding dimensions of the first convex portion 13565b and the fourth convex portion 13571b are set to be the same.

Further, the first convex portion 13564b and the second convex portion 13564c and the fourth convex portion 13571b and the fifth convex portion 13571c are arranged at positions having different heights in the vertical direction. That is, the first convex portion 13565b and the second convex portion 13564c protruding from the front plate 13564 toward the back surface side are projected from the same height. Further, the fourth convex portion 13571b and the fifth convex portion 13571c protruding from the base plate 13571 toward the front side are projected from the same height. Further, the first convex portion 13565b and the fourth convex portion 13571b are arranged at different heights, and the fourth convex portion 13571b is arranged below the first convex portion 13565b. Further, a lower side of the first convex portion 13565b projecting from two locations in the gravity direction is arranged at an intermediate position of the fourth convex portion 13571b projecting from two locations in the gravity direction.

As a result, the game ball flowing down inside the special winning device 13550 can be made to flow down while colliding with the first convex portion 13564b and the fourth convex portion 13571b or the second convex portion 13564c and the fifth convex portion 13571c in order. As a result, the game ball can flow down along the extending direction of the first convex portion 13564b, the second convex portion 13564c, the fourth convex portion 13571b, and the fifth convex portion 13571c.

The distance dimension L16 (see FIG. 158 (a)) between the front plate 13564 and the fourth convex portion 13571b or the base plate 13571 and the first convex portion 13564b facing each other on the left side of the special winning device 13550 when viewed from the front is determined by the shim member SI. The distance dimension L17 between the front plate 13564 and the fifth convex portion 13571c or the base plate 13571 and the second convex portion 13564c on the right side of the front view of the special winning device 13550 is set to be larger than the diameter of the game ball. It is set smaller than the diameter of the game ball.

The distance L16 faces the front plate 13564 or the base plate 13571 at the ends of the fourth convex portion 13571b and the first convex portion 13564b on the fifth convex portion 13571c and the second convex portion 13564c side (arrow R direction side). It is the distance dimension between. Further, the distance L17 faces the front plate 13564 or the base plate 13571 at the ends of the fifth convex portion 13571c and the second convex portion 13564c on the side of the fourth convex portion 13571b and the first convex portion 13564b (arrow L direction side). It is the distance dimension between.

Further, in the thirteenth embodiment, the first winning opening 64 is arranged below the left side (arrow L direction side) of the special winning device 13550 (the arrow D direction side), whereby the special winning device 13550 is viewed from the front left side. The flowing game ball can flow into the first winning opening 64.

Therefore, the game ball flowing into the main path SK1 of the special winning device 13550 from the front right side (arrow R direction side) of the special winning device 13550 is easily brought into contact with the second convex portion 13564c and the fifth convex portion 13571c. The second convex portion 13564c and the fifth convex portion 13571c are allowed to flow down along the extending direction so that they can be easily guided to the sub-path HK1 side. On the other hand, the game ball flowing into the main path SK1 of the special winning device 13550 from the front left side (arrow L direction side) of the special winning device 13550 is less likely to collide with the first convex portion 13564b and the fourth convex portion 13571b. It becomes easy to be thrown to the sub-path HK1 as it is. As a result, the flow direction of the game ball that has flowed into the special winning device 13550 can be changed.

In the present embodiment, the first convex portion 13564b, the second convex portion 13564c, the fourth convex portion 13571b and the fifth convex portion 13571c are the sixth convex portion 13571d and the third convex portion 13564d (main path HK1 and sub-path). It is formed above (in the direction of arrow U) above the inflow port of the game ball with the SK6. Therefore, most of the game balls flowing down the main path SK1 can flow down to the sub-path HK1, and a relatively smaller number of game balls than the sub-path HK1 can flow down to the main path SK6.

Further, in the thirteenth embodiment, the distance between the first path member 13560 and the second path member 13570 facing each other is adjusted by the shim member SI and is made non-parallel, and the distance between the first path member 13560 and the second path member 13570 facing each other is adjusted. The position of the game ball flowing down (the direction in which the game ball flows down) can be adjusted.

Therefore, as compared with the case where the angle of the nail struck on the front surface of the base plate 60 with respect to the front surface of the base plate 60 is changed to adjust the direction in which the game ball is likely to flow down, the direction in which the game ball is likely to flow down inside the special winning device 13550. Can be made difficult for the player to recognize. As a result, it is possible to prevent the player from recognizing that the game is disadvantageous before playing the game on the game machine, and it is possible to improve the operating rate of the game machine.

Further, by simply changing the two directions (front-back direction (arrow FB direction)) of the first path member 13560 and the second path member 13570 in the opposite direction, the flow of the game ball flowing down inside the special winning device 13550 Since the direction can be changed, the adjustment can be made easier than the nail that can be adjusted in all directions with respect to the front surface of the game board 13 (base plate 60). As a result, the game ball can be easily flowed down in the direction intended by the adjuster.

The direction intended by the adjuster is, for example, the direction between the first path member 13560 and the second path member 13570 on the secondary path HK1 side (arrow L direction side) on the main path SK6 side (arrow R direction side). A game ball that is made larger than the space between the first path member 13560 and the second path member 13570 and flows down inside the special winning device 13550 flows down to the sub path HK1, or is on the main path SK6 side (arrow R direction side). ), The space between the first path member 13560 and the second path member 13570 facing each other is made larger than the space between the facing paths of the first path member 13560 and the second path member 13570 on the sub-path HK1 side (arrow L direction side), and a special prize is awarded. A game ball flowing down the inside of the device 13550 flows down the main path SK6.

Further, with respect to the first path member 13560 arranged on the front side, the second path member 13570 arranged on the back side is moved in the front-rear direction (arrow FB direction) by sandwiching the shim member SI. Therefore, it is possible to make it difficult for the player to recognize the distance between the first path member 13560 and the second path member 13570 facing each other. That is, since the second path member 13570 arranged on the far side from the player is moved in the front-rear direction, the first path member 13560 and the first path member 13560 are compared with the case where the first path member 13560 close to the player is displaced. It is possible to make it difficult for the player to grasp the distance between the two path members 13570 facing each other. As a result, the operating rate of the game machine can be improved.

The first piece 311 and the second piece 20312 are formed with sliding grooves 314 having long holes that are long in the extending direction thereof, so that the engaging member 20310 can be the first piece 311 and the second piece 20312. It is possible to slide in the extension direction (arrow LR direction).

Further, the second piece 20312 includes a recess 20312c recessed in a side surface parallel to the sliding direction of the engaging member 20310. The recess 20312c is a recess into which the tip of the engaging portion 20724a of the back base 20720 of the rotating unit 20700, which will be described later, is inserted, and is formed in substantially the same shape as the outer shape of the engaging portion 20724a.

More specifically, the recess 20312c has an engaging member having a dimension SH1 (see FIG. 168 (a)) up to the end on the side opposite to the connecting side (arrow L direction side) of the second piece 20312 with the third piece 313. The inside of the sliding groove 314 of the 20310 is set to be substantially the same as the dimension SH2 (see FIG. 168 (b)) in which the projecting portion 301b can slide. Further, the recess 20312c is recessed in a triangle having a right-angled angle in front view, and the right-angled portion is set on the connecting side (arrow R direction side) of the second piece 20312 with the third piece 313.

The rotating unit 20700 includes a front view rectangular rear base 20720 arranged on the right side of the lower portion of the opening 301a in the bottom wall portion 301 of the rear case 20300 (arranged in the direction of arrow R, and the front surface of the rear base 20720). A rotating body 800 (see FIG. 93) arranged on the side (arrow F direction side) is provided, and the rotating body 800 is rotationally displaced via a light-transmitting center frame 86 arranged on the game board 13. Can be visually recognized by the player.

The back base 20720 is a plate member that connects the back surface of the ball cradle 710 and the back surface side (arrow B direction side) of the decoration unit 750, and is arranged on the back surface side of the ball cradle 710 and the decoration unit 750. Further, the back surface base 20720 includes an erection wall 20724 erected from the back surface.

The erection wall 20724 extends in a shape that surrounds the outer edge of the engaging member 20310 arranged in the back case 20300. Further, the erection wall 20724 is formed at a position facing the recess 20312c of the engaging member 20310, and includes an engaging portion 20724a at which the tip is inserted inside the recess 20312c.

The engaging portion 20724a is projected from the erection wall 20724 in the direction in which the engaging member 20310 is engaged with the fixing member 320 (arrow R direction), and is erected in a direction orthogonal to the sliding direction of the engaging member 20310. It is formed with a predetermined gap from the wall 20724. As a result, the rigidity of the engaging portion 20724a can be lowered, and the engaging portion 20724a can be easily elastically deformed. Further, a region where the engaging portion 20724a can be elastically deformed can be secured by the amount of the gap between the erection wall 20724 and the engaging portion 20724a.

Further, the engaging portion 20724a is provided with a bent portion 20724a1 that bends toward the engaging member 20310 at the protruding tip portion, and the front view shape of the bent portion 20724a1 is formed into a triangular shape having substantially the same shape as the recess 20312c described above. Will be done. As a result, before engaging the engaging member 20310 with the fixing member 320, the bent portion 20724a1 is arranged inside the recess 20312c of the engaging member 20310. Therefore, it is possible to make it difficult for the engaging member 20310 to slide in the displacement direction (arrow LR direction) (see FIG. 168 (b)).

Therefore, it is possible to prevent the engaging member 20310 from vibrating with respect to the back case 20300 due to a force such as vibration or shaking and moving in the engaging direction (arrow R direction) with the fixing member 320. Therefore, before the fixing member 320 is arranged on the back case 20300, the position of the engaging member 20310 is displaced, and when the fixing member 320 is arranged on the back case 20300, the engaged portion of the fixing member 320 is engaged. It is possible to prevent the 332 from coming into contact with the engaging member 20310. In other words, when the fixing member 320 is arranged on the back case 20300, the engaging member 20310 is located in the displacement region when the engaged portion 332 (see FIG. 167) of the fixing member 320 is arranged. Can be suppressed. As a result, it is not necessary to operate the engaging member 20310 in the direction of disengaging the fixing member 320, so that the workability when engaging the engaging member 20310 and the fixing member 320 can be improved. ..

Next, with reference to FIG. 169, the engaging member 20310 and the rotating unit 20700 in a state where the engaging member 20310 and the fixing member 320 are engaged will be described. FIG. 169 (a) is a rear view of the rotating unit 20700 and the engaging member 20310, and FIG. 169 (b) is a rear view of the rear case 20300. In addition, in FIG. 169 (a) and FIG. 169 (b), the state in which the engaging member 20310 and the fixing member 20320 are engaged is shown. Further, in FIG. 169 (b), a part of the engaging member 20310 and the outer shape of the erection wall 20724 are shown by chain lines.

As shown in FIG. 169, the operator 315 is operated from the back side (arrow B direction side) of the back case 20300, and the engaging member 20310 is on the left side (arrow L) of the back case 20300 with respect to the bottom wall portion 301. When the rear case 20300 is displaced to the right side (arrow R direction side) with respect to the bottom wall portion 301 from the state of being arranged on the direction side), it is arranged inside the recess 20312c of the engaging member 20310. The bent portion 20724a1 is pushed out into the recess 20312c by the inclined surface of the recess 20312c.

Here, as described above, the recess 20312c has a distance dimension SH1 to the end on the side opposite to the connecting side (arrow L direction side) of the second piece 20312 with the third piece 313 (see FIG. 168 (a)). However, since the inside of the sliding groove 314 of the engaging member 20310 is set to be substantially the same as the dimension SH2 (see FIG. 168 (b)) in which the projecting portion 301b can slide, the engaging member 20310 is set to the fixing member 320. When displaced to a position where it engages with, the end of the engaging member 20310 on the side opposite to the connecting side (arrow L direction side) with the third piece 313 of the second piece 20312 becomes the bending portion 20724a1 and the engaging member. It is arranged at a position adjacent to the displacement direction of 20310 (arrow LR direction). As a result, it is possible to prevent the engaging member 20310 from being illicitly displaced in the direction of disengagement from the fixing member 320 (arrow L direction).

As in the first embodiment, the engaging member 20310 is engaged with the fixing member 320 of the engaging member 20310 by hooking (engaging) the engaging portion 316 on the engaged portion 332 of the fixing member 320. Displacement in the direction of disengagement is regulated. However, since the engaged portion 332 of the fixing member 320 is inserted through the first opening 301c of the back case 300, the engaging portion 332 and the engaging portion 316 are engaged with each other via the first opening 301c. There was a risk of being released illegally.

On the other hand, in the twentieth embodiment, the displacement of the engaging member 20310 in the direction of disengagement from the fixing member 320 is opposite to that of the engaging portion 316 of the engaging member 20310 that engages with the fixing member 320. Since the side end portion can be brought into contact with the bent portion 20724a1 for regulation, an illegal object is inserted from the first opening 301c, and the engagement between the end portion of the engaging member 20310 and the bent portion 20724a1 is released. It can be suppressed. As a result, it is possible to prevent the engagement member 20310 and the fixing member 320 from being illegally disengaged and the board box 100 (main control device 110) connected to the fixing member 320 from being replaced with an illegal board. ..

The fixing member 320 and the engaging member 20310 are formed by removing the rotating unit 20700 arranged inside the back case 20300 (bottom wall portion 301) from the back case 20300, and then removing the end portion and the bent portion of the engaging member 20310. After disengaging the engagement member 20724a1, the end portion of the first piece 311 of the engagement member 20310 is elastically deformed, and the end portion of the engagement member 20310 is pulled out from the internal space of the engaged portion 332 to bring the two together. Can be disengaged.

Therefore, when removing the fixing member 320 from the back case 20300, it is necessary to remove the rotating unit 20700 from the front side of the back case 20300, so that the engagement between the engaging member 20310 and the fixing member 320 is illegally released. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the board box 100 (main control device 110) connected to the fixing member 320 from being replaced with an illegal board.

Further, since the engaging member 20310 is formed by bending the shape in the front view into a crank shape as described above, an illegal object such as a wire or a wire inserted from the first piece 311 side is linearly second. It is possible to restrict the feeding to the end of the piece 20312. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the illegal object inserted from the first piece 311 side from being accurately sent to the engaging portion between the second piece 20312 and the bent portion 20724a1. As a result, it is possible to prevent the engagement member 20310 and the fixing member 320 from being illegally disengaged and the board box 100 (main control device 110) connected to the fixing member 320 from being replaced with an illegal board. ..

Next, the rotating unit 21700 according to the 21st embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 170 to 173.

The back base 21720 is a plate member that connects the back surface of the ball cradle 710 and the back side of the decoration unit 750, and is arranged on the back side of the ball cradle 710 and the decoration unit 750. Further, the back surface base 21720 includes an erection wall 21724 erected on the back surface thereof.

The erection wall 21724 is extended so as to surround the outer edge of the engaging member 310 in the state of being arranged in the back case 300. Further, the erection wall 21724 is a state in which the engaging member 310 is located at the left end (side in the direction of the arrow L) with respect to the back case 300 (a state in which the engaging member 310 and the fixing member 320 are disengaged). ), The insertion portion 21724b is provided so as to project toward the recess 317 of the engaging member 310 (in the direction of the arrow L).

The insertion portion 21724b extends from the upright wall 21724 in a direction parallel to the displacement direction (arrow LR direction) of the engaging member 310, and with the engaging member 310 in a state of being engaged with the fixing member 320. The dimensions are set so as to overlap in the direction of gravity (arrow UB direction). Further, a bent portion 21724b1 that bends to the back surface side (engaging member 310 side) is formed at the tip portion of the insertion portion 21724b, and the bent tip portion of the bent portion 21742b1 is in the front-rear direction (arrow F-) of the pachinko machine 10. In the B direction), the length is set so as to overlap with the engaging member 310.

Further, the width dimension of the insertion portion 21742b in the vertical direction (arrow UD direction) is set to be smaller than the width dimension in the vertical direction of the recess 317 of the engaging member 310. Therefore, the insertion portion 21724b is in a state in which the bent portion 21724b1 is inserted inside the recess 317 while the engaging member 310 is engaged with the fixing member 320. As a result, it is possible to prevent the first piece 311 of the engaging member 310 from being elastically deformed inside the recess of the recess 317 from the state in which the engaging member 310 and the fixing member 320 are engaged. As a result, it is possible to prevent the engagement member 20310 and the fixing member 320 from being illegally disengaged and the board box 100 (main control device 110) connected to the fixing member 320 from being replaced with an illegal board. ..

Next, with reference to FIGS. 171 to 173, the operation of the insertion portion 21724b when the engaging member 310 is engaged with the fixing member 320 will be described. 172 (a) and 173 (a) are rear views of the rotating unit 21700 and the engaging member 310. 172 (b) and 173 (b) are schematic cross-sectional views of the rear case 300 and the rotating unit 21700.

As a result, the incident angle when the light traveling in the horizontal direction on the main body 26151 is incident on the outside of the main body 26151 from the inclined surface 26151a is approximated at a right angle, so that the light emitted to the outside of the main body 26151 can be difficult to be refracted. .. Therefore, the direction of the player's line of sight is suppressed from bending when passing through the inclined surface 26151a, and the front-back direction (arrow) of the decorative member 154 of the general winning opening unit 26150 and the decorative member 60c of the base plate 60. It is possible to make it difficult for the player to recognize the misalignment in the FB direction). As a result, the decorative member 154 of the general winning opening unit 26150 and the decorative member 60c of the base plate 60 can be combined and easily visually recognized as one decoration.

Next, the game board 27013 in the 27th embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. 181. In the first embodiment, the case where the linear inclined surface 151a is formed at the end of the main body 151 of the general winning opening unit 150 has been described, but in the 27th embodiment, the end of the main body 26151 is formed. The inclined surface 27151a is formed in an arcuate cross section recessed inward of the main body 27151. The same parts as those in the above embodiments are designated by the same reference numerals, and detailed description thereof will be omitted.

181 (a) and 181 (b) are cross-sectional views of the game board 27013 according to the 27th embodiment. Note that FIGS. 181 (a) and 181 (b) correspond to the cross-sectional views of FIG. Further, in FIG. 181 (a), the player places the game board 27013 at a position higher than the normal gaming state (for example, a standing state) at the same height as the upper end in the gravity direction of the pachinko machine 10 (see FIG. 1). The line of sight when viewed from the viewpoint) is illustrated by a two-dot chain line, and in FIG. 181 (b), the player places the gaming board 27013 in a normal gaming state position (for example, a substantially intermediate position in the gravity direction of the gaming board 27013). The line of sight when viewed from the viewpoint of the same height as the above) is illustrated by a two-dot chain line.

The game board 27013 in the 27th embodiment is the same as the game board 13 in the first embodiment, and the game board 27013 is a base plate 60 formed of a plate member having a substantially rectangular shape in the front view, and the base plate 60 thereof. A center frame 86 (see FIG. 2) is provided in the opening portion formed in. In addition, the game board 27013 has a base plate 60 cut into a substantially square shape in front view, a large number of nails (not shown) for ball guidance, a windmill, rails 76, 77, a general winning opening 63, and a first. The winning opening 64, the second winning opening 640, the variable winning device 65, the first through gate 66, the variable display device unit 80, etc. (see FIG. 2) are assembled to form an inner frame 4 (see FIG. 1). It is attached to the back side of.

Further, in the 27th embodiment, the general winning opening unit 27150 is arranged in the opening portion of the second opening 60b (see FIG. 11) of the base plate 60. Therefore, the general winning opening unit 26150 is arranged below the substantially intermediate position in the gravity direction of the game board 26013. Therefore, the line of sight when the player in the normal game state visually recognizes the general winning opening unit 26150 is in the direction of descending with respect to the game board 26013.

As shown in FIG. 181, the general winning opening unit 27150 arranged on the front side of the base plate 60 of the game board 27013 in the 27th embodiment is a plate-shaped main body 27151 along the front surface of the base plate 60 and its main body 27151. A decorative member 154 arranged on the back surface side of the main body 27151 is provided.

The main body 27151 is made of a transparent resin material, and the decoration of the pattern, characters, etc. (picture) of the decorative member 154 arranged on the back surface side can be visually recognized from the player side. Further, the main body 27151 has an inclined surface 27151a having an arcuate cross section in which the end portion in front view is inclined toward the back side and is recessed toward the inside of the main body 27151, and the main body 27151 from the back to the front side. It is formed mainly provided with a recess 151b which is recessed toward the surface.

The inclined surface 27151a has an inclination angle θ2 with respect to the front surface of the base plate 60 of the virtual line IL2 (see FIG. 181) that connects the connecting point with the plane on the front side of the main body 27151 and the end portion on the back side. It is set larger than the degree. As a result, the protruding distance of the inclined surface 27151a to the outside can be reduced, and it is possible to prevent the outer shape of the main body portion 27151 from becoming large.

Further, as described above, the inclined surface 27151a is formed in a circular arc shape recessed inside the main body 27151, and the axis of the arc is the connection point with the plane on the front side of the virtual line IL2 (main body 26151). And the end on the back side are set to the front side (player side (arrow F direction side)) rather than the line connecting them (see FIG. 181). Therefore, the player passes through the inclined surface 27151a. When the decorative members 60c and 154 are visually recognized, the recessed shape allows the visible area of the decorations of the decorative members 60c and 154 to be widened through the inclined surface 27151a, that is, inside the main body 27151. Due to the arcuate cross section recessed toward the player, the light incident on the inclined surface 27151a from each of the decorative members 60c and 154 can be refracted and collected toward the player's viewpoint. As a result, the inclined surface can be focused. The pattern or character (picture) visually recognized through 27151a can be reduced to make it difficult for the player to understand the connection of the decorative members 60c and 154. As a result, the misalignment of the decorative members 60c and 154 can be caused by the game. It is possible to make it difficult for a person to recognize it, and it is possible to prevent the player's interest from being impaired.

Further, the decorative member 154 arranged inside the recess 151b has a horizontal line HR2 whose end position passes through an intermediate position between a connecting point with a flat surface on the front side and an end portion on the back side of the main body portion 27151. It is set above and on the back side of the inclined surface 27151a.

As a result, as shown in FIG. 181 (a), when the player visually recognizes the general winning opening unit 27150 and the base plate 60 from a position (standing position) higher than the normal gaming state of the game board 26013, The incident angle when light traveling in the horizontal direction on the main body 26151 on the front side of the connecting portion between the decorative member 60c and the decorative member 154 is incident on the outside of the main body 26151 from the inclined surface 26151a is increased. Therefore, the light traveling in the horizontal direction on the main body 27151 on the front side of the connecting portion with the decorative member 154 is easily refracted toward the viewpoint side of the player, so that the player can play the game board 27013 in a normal gaming state. When the general winning opening unit 27150 is visually recognized from a position higher than the position (standing position), the connecting portion of the decorative members 154 and 60c can be easily visually recognized from the front side. As a result, it is possible to make it difficult for the player to recognize the difference in the positions of the connecting portions of the decorative members 154 and 60c in the front-rear direction. Can be combined to make it easier to see as a decoration of 1.

FIG. 197 (a) is a front view of the lower displacement member 38440, and FIG. 197 (b) is a cross-sectional view of the lower displacement member 38440 in the CXCVIIb-CXCVIIb line of FIG. 197 (a). Is a cross-sectional view of the lower displacement member 38440 in the CXCVIIc-CXCVIIc line of FIG. 197 (a). In FIG. 197 (a), a state in which the front side decorative member 38451 and the front case 38481 are removed is shown, and the LED 38483b arranged on the front case 38481 is shown by a chain double-dashed line. Further, in FIGS. 197 (b) and 197 (c), a state in which the front side decorative portion 451 is attached is shown.

As shown in FIGS. 196 and 197, the lower displacement member 38440 in the 38th embodiment is the base member 470 connected to the front base 411 (see FIG. 46) and the front-rear direction (arrow FB) of the base member 470. Direction) A case member 38480 that covers both sides, a transmission mechanism 460 that is displaceably arranged between the case member 38480 and the base member 470, and a decorative member 11450 that is formed so as to cover the front and rear of the case member 38480. Is mainly formed.

The case member 38480 is a member that covers both sides of the base member 470 in the front-rear direction (arrow FB direction), and is a front case 38481 arranged on the front side (arrow F direction side) of the base member 470 and a back surface. It mainly includes a back case 482 arranged on the side (the side in the direction of arrow B).

The front case 38481 is formed in the shape of a horizontally long rectangular plate when viewed from the front. Further, the front case 38481 is formed so as to have an opening 481a extending in the left-right direction (arrow LR direction) at a substantially intermediate position in the vertical direction (arrow UD direction) and a protrusion formed on the lower end surface on the back side (arrow B direction side). A bottom wall portion 481b, a shaft hole 481c penetrating the lower end portion in the front-rear direction, and an LED substrate 38483 arranged on the back surface side are mainly provided.

The LED substrate 38483 is a member that emits light inside the lower displacement member 38440 (front case 38481), and is arranged in a plate-shaped main body portion 38483a and a plurality of main body portions 38483a that irradiate light. It is provided with LED 38483b.

The main body portion 38483a is a base on which wiring for conducting electricity is laid through a plurality of LEDs 38483b, and extends in the displacement direction (arrow LR direction) of the ball receiving portion 467. The plurality of LEDs 38483b are arranged at predetermined intervals in the extending direction (arrow LR direction) of the main body portion 38483a.

Further, each LED 38483b is set in a direction toward the center of the game sphere when the game sphere passes through the back surface side (arrow B direction side) of each LED 38483b. As a result, when the game ball is located on the back side of each LED 38483b, the light of the LED can be reflected on the outer surface of the game ball to irradiate the front side decorative portion 11451. Therefore, as described above, since the front side decoration portion 11451 includes the transmission portion 11451b capable of transmitting light, the light transmitted to the front side decoration portion 11451 reflected by the outer surface of the game ball is transmitted to the transmission portion 11451b. It can be emitted to the player side (arrow F direction side) through the light. Therefore, the amount of light that is visually recognized from the player side via the transmission portion 11451b can be increased in the portion reflected by the game ball as compared with the other portions. As a result, by increasing (changing) the amount of light, the player can be made to recognize the position of the game ball thrown inside the lower displacement member 38440.

In the present embodiment, the interval at which the plurality of LEDs 38483b are arranged is set to be smaller than the diameter of the game ball. As a result, even when the game ball received by the ball receiving portion 467 is displaced, at least a part of the game ball can be irradiated with the light emitted from the LED 38483b. Therefore, the light emitted from the LED 38483b can be constantly irradiated to the game ball received by the ball receiving unit 467.

Further, according to the 38th embodiment, the base member 470, the transmission mechanism 460, and the back case 482 arranged on the back side (arrow B direction side) of the LED 38483b are preferably members having a high light absorption rate. For example, the outer surface of each member constitutes a black color scheme. According to this, it is possible to suppress that the light emitted from the LED 38483b is reflected inside the case member 38480 (lower displacement member 38440) and emitted from the transmitting portion 11451b of the front side decorative portion 11451. As a result, it is possible to increase the difference in the amount of light emitted between the front surface on which the game ball is arranged and the other front surface, and the player recognizes the position of the game ball received inside the lower displacement member 39440. It can be made easier.

Next, the lower displacement member 39440 according to the 39th embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 198 and 199. In the 38th embodiment, the case where the game ball reflects light to make the player recognize the position where the game ball is arranged has been described, but in the 39th embodiment, the ball receiving portion 39467 is arranged. Light is reflected by the reflective member to recognize the position of the game ball. The same parts as those in the above embodiments are designated by the same reference numerals, and detailed description thereof will be omitted.

FIG. 198 is an exploded perspective rear view of the lower displacement member 39440 according to the 39th embodiment. 199 (a) is a front view of the lower displacement member 39440, and FIGS. 199 (b) and 199 (c) are cross-sectional views of the lower displacement member 39440. Note that FIGS. 199 (b) and 199 (c) correspond to the cross section of FIG. 198 (c).

As shown in FIGS. 198 and 199, the lower displacement member 39440 in the 39th embodiment includes a base member 470 connected to the front base 411 (see FIG. 46) and a case member 38480 that covers the front and rear of the base member 470. , A transmission mechanism 39460 displaceably arranged between the case member 38480 and the base member 470, and a decorative member 11450 arranged so as to cover the front and rear of the case member 38480.

The transmission mechanism 39460 is a member arranged on the front side of the base member 470, and meshes with the transmission gears 461, 462, 463, the drive motor KM2 whose shaft portion is connected to the transmission gear 461, and the transmission gear 463. A movable rack 464 having a tooth surface to be slidably arranged on the front side of the base member 470 so as to be slidable, and rotatably arranged on the movable rack 464, and in a state of being meshed with a rack gear 476. A rack 39466 having a transmission gear 465 and a tooth surface meshed with the transmission gear 465 and arranged so that the front side of the movable rack 464 can be slidably displaced, and a rack 39466 rotatably arranged on one end side of the rack 39466. It is mainly provided with a ball receiving portion 39467 to be formed.

The rack 39466 is formed of a horizontally long rod-shaped body having a rectangular shape when viewed from the front, and has a rack gear 466a engraved on the upper end surface, a shaft portion 39466b protruding from the other end side to the front side in a columnar shape, and protruding toward the front side. It is mainly provided with two sliding plates 466c and a recessed portion 466d which is recessed from one end to the other end on the back surface side.

The shaft portion 39466b is a protrusion inserted into the shaft hole 467b of the ball receiving portion 39467, which will be described later, and is formed in a columnar shape having an outer diameter larger than the inner diameter of the shaft hole 467b. As a result, the ball receiving portion 467 can be held rotatably.

The ball receiving portion 39467 is connected to the first piece 39467c formed by bending in a substantially L-shape in the front view, the second piece 39467d connected to the first piece 39467c, and the second piece 39467d. It includes a third piece 39467e arranged on the front side (arrow F direction side) of the first piece 39467c and the second piece 39467d.

The first piece 39467c and the second piece 39467d are portions for holding the game ball thrown inside the lower displacement member 39440 from the opening 451a (see FIG. 57), and are between the first piece 39467c and the second piece 39467d facing each other. When the game ball is thrown into the ball, the second piece 39467d is displaced from the first piece 39467c in a direction away from each other, and a part of the first piece 39467c and the second piece 39467d are arranged in a U shape in front view. And the game ball can be held in the inner part of the U shape.

The first piece 39467c is composed of a receiving piece 39467c4 forming an L-shape in front view, a leg portion 467a forming the other extending side, and a receiving piece 39467c4 and a leg portion 467a. An annular bent portion 39467c5 in which a shaft hole 467b penetrating in the front-rear direction (arrow FB direction) is formed in the connecting portion (bending portion), and a connecting portion 39467c1 projecting to the opposite side with the bent portion 39467c5 in between. And.

The receiving piece 39467c4 is a portion forming a side surface on the other side (arrow R direction side) formed in a U shape in front view by the first piece 39467c and the second piece 39467d, and is formed in a crescent shape on the front side. , Is formed in a curved shape that is concave in the direction away from the second piece 39467d.

The connecting portion 39467c1 is projected from two positions at a predetermined interval in the axial direction (arrow FB direction) of the bent portion 39467c5. Further, the connecting portion 39467c1 is a portion that connects the second piece 39467d and the third piece 39467e, which will be described later, and provides a connecting hole 39467c2 that extends along the axial direction of the shaft hole 467b and is opened in a circular cross section. Be prepared.

The connecting hole 39467c2 is an opening into which the shaft portion 39467e3 projecting from the third piece 39467e, which will be described later, is inserted. In the connecting hole 39467c2, the shaft portion 39467e3 inserted into the insertion hole 39467d3 formed in the second piece 39467d, which will be described later, is inserted from the front side (arrow F direction side). Further, the shaft portion 39467e3 is fastened by a screw inserted from the side opposite to the insertion side (arrow B direction side) of the connecting hole 39467c2. As a result, the second piece 39467d and the third piece 39467e can be fastened to the first piece 39467c.

Further, the first piece 39467c is provided with a recess 39467c3 that is recessed downward in the direction of gravity (side in the direction of arrow D) on the protruding base end side of the connecting portion 39467c1. The recessed bottom surface of the recess 39467c3 is formed at the lowest position (bottom) of the side surfaces where the game ball is held by the first piece 39467c and the second piece 39467d. As a result, the game balls held in the first piece 39467c and the second piece 39467d are rolled inside the recess 39467c3. As a result, the load of the game ball can easily displace the second piece 39467d with respect to the first piece 39467c.

The second piece 39467d is a portion forming the side surface of the other side (arrow L direction side) formed in a U shape in the front view by the receiving piece 39467c4 and the second piece 39467d of the first piece 39467c, and is a crescent moon in the front view. It is formed in a curved shape that is concave in the direction away from the first piece 39467c. Further, the second piece 39467d has an insertion hole 39467d3 that opens in a circular shape in the front-rear direction in the connecting portion of the first piece 39467c, and a circle from the front side (arrow F direction side) to the back side (arrow B direction side). It mainly includes a recessed portion 39467d2 that is recessed in the shape.

In the second piece 39467d, the shaft portion 39467e3 of the third piece 39467e is inserted into the insertion hole 39467d3, and the connecting shaft 39467e4 of the third piece 39467e is inserted into the recessed portion 39467d2. Therefore, when the second piece 39567d is displaced, the third piece 39467e is also displaced as well. Therefore, when the second piece 39567d is rotationally displaced with respect to the first piece 39467c, the third piece 39567e is also rotationally displaced with respect to the first piece 39467c.

Further, the second piece 39467d is arranged between the facing portions of the connecting portions 39467c1 projecting at two positions of the first piece 39467c, and is connected to the first piece 39467c. As a result, when the second piece 39467d is twisted in the axial direction of the insertion hole 39467d3, the second piece 39467d is brought into contact with the side surface of the connecting portion 39467c1 on the opposite side to prevent the shaft portion 39467e3 from breaking.

The recessed portion 39467d2 is a hole into which the connecting shaft 39467e4 of the third piece 39467e, which will be described later, is inserted, and is recessed in substantially the same shape as the connecting shaft 39467e4.

The third piece 39467e includes a reflector 39467e1 formed in a substantially semicircular front view, a shaft portion 39467e3 and a connecting shaft 39467e4 projecting from the reflector 39467e1 toward the back side (arrow B direction side). And.

The reflector 39467e1 is formed of a resin material and has an outer surface plated with a coating. As a result, when the reflector 39467e1 is irradiated with the light emitted from the LED 38483b, the light can be reflected on the outer surface thereof. Further, the reflector 39467e1 is formed so as to be curved in an arc shape toward the front side (arrow F direction side) as a whole. As a result, when the light emitted from the front side is reflected, the light can be focused on a predetermined portion. The light shielding of the light emitter 11491a by the reflector 39467e1 will be described later.

As described above, the shaft portion 39467e3 is a cylindrical body inserted into the connecting hole 39467c2 of the first piece 39467c and the insertion hole 39467d3 of the second piece 39467d. Further, on the protruding tip surface of the shaft portion 39467e3, a hole into which a screw to be inserted into the connecting hole 39467c2 can be screwed is formed from the side opposite to the insertion side of the shaft portion 39467e3. Therefore, with the shaft portion 39467e3 inserted into the connecting hole 39467c2 and the insertion hole 39467d3, the first piece 39467c, the second piece 39467d, and the third piece 39467e are connected by fastening a screw to the insertion tip surface of the shaft portion 39467e3. And the third piece 39467e can be made rotatable with respect to the first piece 39467c.

As described above, the connecting shaft 39467e4 is inserted into the recessed portion 39467d2 of the second piece 39467d. As a result, when the second piece 39467d is rotationally displaced with respect to the first piece 39467c about the shaft portion 39467e3, the connecting shaft 39467e4 can be displaced along with the displacement of the second piece 39467d. Therefore, the third piece 39467e can be displaced with the displacement of the second piece 39467d.

Therefore, as shown in FIG. 199, when the ball receiving portion 39467 receives a game ball between the first piece 39467c and the second piece 39467d, the accepted game ball is the first piece 39467c and the second piece. The receiving surface of 39467d (inner side surface formed in a U shape in front view) is rolled and guided to the recess 39467c3 located at the lowermost end of the receiving surface. As a result, the second piece 39467d can be rotated around the shaft portion 39467e3 on the outer surface of the game ball in a direction away from the first piece 39467c. As a result, the third piece 39467e, which moves with the displacement of the second piece 39467d, can be displaced upward and placed on the light irradiation of the LED 38483b.

Therefore, the light emitted from the LED 38483b can be reflected by the reflector 39467e1 of the third piece 39467e to the front side (arrow F direction side) of the lower displacement member 39440 and emitted from the transmitting portion 11451b. As a result, the amount of light emitted from the transmission portion 11451b can be partially increased so that the player can recognize the position of the game ball thrown into the lower displacement member 39440.

Further, in the second piece 39467d, the connecting shaft 39467e4 is inserted into the recessed portion 39467d2, and the load of the third piece 39467e is always applied. The center of gravity G of the third piece 39467e is set on the opposite side of the shaft portion 394673e from the connecting portion with the second piece 39567d and the third piece 39567e. As a result, in a state where no force other than gravity acts on the second piece 39467d and the third piece 39467e, the load of the third piece 39467e can rotate the second piece 39467d toward the first piece 39467c. ..

Therefore, when the game ball is ejected (taken out) from the ball receiving portion 39467, the second piece 39467d can be displaced to the receiving piece 39467c4 side of the first piece 39467c by the load of the third piece 39467e. Therefore, only when the game ball is received by the ball receiving portion 39467, the amount of light reflected by the reflector 39467e1 and emitted from the transmitting portion 11451b can be partially increased. As a result, it is possible to suppress the reflection of light by the reflector 39467e1 due to the positioning operation of the ball receiving portion 39467 or the like.

Further, the ball receiving portion 39467 is rotated around the shaft hole 39467b by the operation of sliding displacement inside the lower displacement member 39440, similarly to the ball receiving portion 467 in the first embodiment, and the lower displacement member 39440 is emitted. The game ball received from the opening 471 (see FIG. 66) is discharged to the outside.

Here, as a structure for discharging the game ball received by the ball receiving portion 39467, in the structure in which the ball receiving portion 39467 is rotated around the shaft hole 467b as the ball receiving portion 39467 slides, the ball receiving portion 39467 is used. The rotation speed of the ball receiving portion 39467 centered on the shaft hole 467b is changed by the sliding speed of. Therefore, since the rotation speed depends only on the slide speed of the ball receiving portion 39467, there is a problem that the discharge speed of the game ball from the ball receiving portion 39467 is not stable.

On the other hand, in the 39th embodiment, the direction in which the second piece 39467d is rotated by the load of the third piece 39467e and the direction in which the ball receiving portion 39467 is rotated around the shaft hole 467b when the game ball is ejected are different. Since the directions are set to be substantially the same, it is possible to apply a driving force when the second piece 39467d is displaced to the game ball emitted from the exit opening 471. Therefore, even if the force acting on the game ball from the ball receiving portion 39467 when the ball receiving portion 39467 is displaced and the game ball is discharged from the exit opening 471 is reduced, the speed of the ejected game ball can be maintained. it can. As a result, the discharge speed of the game ball emitted from the ball receiving portion 39467 can be stabilized.

Next, the first unit 40551 in the 40th embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. 200. In the first embodiment, the case where the game ball is notified when the curved portion 581a of the main path SK1 is clogged with the game ball has been described, but in the 40th embodiment, the game ball having a size other than the specified size is the main path.

As described above, the sliding groove 42372 is an opening for displaceably disposing the second engaging member 42370, and is opened long in the gravity direction (arrow UD direction). Further, the width dimension of the sliding groove 42372 in the lateral direction (arrow LR direction) is set to be substantially the same as the diameter of the second projecting portion 42301f arranged inside the sliding groove 42372. Therefore, when the second projecting portion 42301f is inserted into the sliding groove 42372 as described above, the sliding direction of the second engaging member 42370 is defined as the longitudinal direction of the opening of the sliding groove 42372.

The recessed portion 42374 is an opening for easily elastically deforming the upper end portion of the plate member 42371, and is recessed downward and cut out in the front-rear direction. As a result, the rigidity of the upper end portion of the plate member 42371 can be lowered to facilitate elastic deformation.

The second engaging portion 42373 is a portion that engages with the end portion of the opening 42118a of the protruding portion 42118 described above, and is projected from both side surfaces in a direction orthogonal to the notch direction of the recessed portion 42374. The separation distance X12 (see FIG. 204 (a)) of the ends of the protrusions on both sides is set to be larger than the opening dimension X13 (see FIG. 204 (b)) of the opening 42118a in the left-right direction. As a result, when the second engaging member 42370 is inserted into the opening 42118a, the second engaging portion 42373 engages with the end of the opening 42118a, so that the second engaging portion 42373 becomes the opening 42118a. It is possible to prevent the person from getting out of the room.

As described above, the second locking portion 43336 is a protrusion for engaging the other side (arrow L direction side) of the fixing member 43320 with the second protruding wall 43301c2 formed on the back surface of the bottom wall portion 43301. In front view, it is formed at a position overlapping the bent portion of the tip of the second protrusion 43301c2. Further, when the second locking portion 43336 is engaged with the second protrusion 43301c2 (the state shown in FIG. 209 (a)), the second locking portion 43336 is on the front side of the bent portion of the tip of the second protrusion 43301c2. Be located. As a result, it is possible to prevent the other side of the fixing member 43320 from moving to the back side.

Further, the front surface of the second locking portion 43336 is inclined toward the back surface side from the projecting base end side (the other side of the fixing member 43320) toward the projecting tip side (one side of the fixing member 43320). Thereby, when the second locking portion 43336 is engaged with the second protruding wall 43301c2, the protruding tip of the second protruding wall 43301c2 can be easily slid along the front surface of the second locking portion 43301c2. Therefore, the fixing member 43320 can be engaged with the back side of the back case 43300 (bottom wall portion 43301).

The fixing member 43320 inserts the protruding wall 43301c1 of the bottom wall portion 43301 inside the opening of the locking portion 331 on one side, and then inserts the second locking portion 43336 on the other side into the bottom wall portion 43301 side (front side). ), And the second locking portion 43336 is moved to the front side of the bent tip of the second protruding wall 43301c2 of the bottom wall portion 43301 while elastically deforming the other side of the fixing member 43320. It is arranged on the bottom wall portion 43301).

The substrate box 43100 is formed in a rectangular shape having a horizontally long rectangular outer shape when viewed from the front, and the main control device 110 is arranged inside. Further, the substrate box 43100 includes a bearing portion 117 projecting from one end side (arrow R direction side) and an engaged portion 43101 projecting from the front surface of the substrate box 43100.

The engaged portion 43101 is a portion that engages with the engaging member 18310 as described above, and the substrate box 43100 is arranged on the back side of the back case 44300 (FIGS. 208 (a) and 208 (b). ), The protrusion dimension toward the back case 43300 side (arrow F direction side) is set to a dimension exceeding the front surface of the engaging member 18310 arranged on the back case 43300. Further, the engaged portion 43101 includes an opening 43101a that opens in the left-right direction (arrow LR direction) in the front view on the front side of the bottom wall portion 43301 of the back case 43300.

Further, the engaged portion 43101 is in a state in which the substrate box 43100 is arranged on the back side of the back case 43300 (a state in which the substrate box 43100 is engaged with the engaging member 18310 (state shown in FIG. 209 (a)). ), It is formed at a position horizontally adjacent to the other side of the fixing member 43320. As a result, when the fixing member 43320 is forcibly pulled toward the back side due to the player's fraud, the other side of the fixing member 43320 is in the direction of disengaging the engagement between the second locking portion 43336 and the second protrusion 43301c2. Elastic deformation can be suppressed. On the other hand, in a state where the board box 43100 is not arranged on the back side of the back case 43300 (a state in which the board box 43100 is not engaged with the engaging member 18310 (a state shown in FIG. 210A)), the substrate box 43100 is covered. Since the engaging portion 43101 can be arranged at a position away from the other side of the fixing member 43320, the fixing member 43320 can be easily engaged with the engaged portion 43101 (or the fixing b diagram 43320 is engaged with the engaged portion 43320). It can be removed from 43101).

The opening 43101a is formed by opening at a position corresponding to the displacement region of the engaging member 18310 excluding the engaging portion 18316. As a result, the engaging member 18310 can be inserted inside the opening 43101a to engage the engaged portion 43101 with the engaging member 18310.

Next, the engagement between the engaging member 18310 and the substrate box 43100 will be described with reference to FIG. 210. 210 (a) and 210 (b) are cross-sectional views of the rear case 43300. It should be noted that FIGS. 210 (a) and 210 (b) correspond to the cross-sectional views of FIG. 209 (a), and are in the order of FIGS. 210 (a), 210 (b) and 209 (a). The transition state when engaging the member 18310 with the substrate box 43100 is shown.

As shown in FIG. 210 (a), when engaging the engaging member 18310 and the substrate box 43100, first, as described above, the intermediate member 43330 and the shaft support member 340 are fastened (integrally). The fixed member 43320 in the state (fixing member 43320 in the state shown in FIG. 207) is engaged with the back side of the back case 43300 (bottom wall portion 43301).

Next, as shown in FIG. 210 (b), the other side opposite to the one on which the bearing portion 117 of the substrate box 43100 is formed is pressed toward the back side of the rear case 43300 to form the substrate box 43100. The substrate box 43100 is rotated with respect to the shaft support member 340 (fixing member 43320) about a caulking metal fitting (not shown) that connects the shaft support member 340. As a result, the front surface of the board box 43100 is arranged at a position substantially parallel to the back surface of the rear case 43300, and the opening 43101a of the engaged portion 43101 is passed through the first opening 43301c of the rear case 43300 to the bottom wall portion 43301. The opening 43101a is arranged in the displacement region of the engaging member 18310 while being arranged on the front side of the.

Therefore, as shown in FIG. 209 (a), the first piece 18311 of the engaging member 18310 is rotationally displaced toward the opening 43101a to rotate and displace the engaging member 18310 to one side (engagement) of the engaging member 18310. The end portion (on the side of the portion 181316) can be inserted into the opening 43101a while being elastically deformed and arranged at a position via the engaged portion 43101.

Finally, the other end on the side opposite to the one on which the bearing portion 117 of the substrate box 43100 is formed is directed toward the bottom wall portion 43301 of the rear case 43300 and is on the back side (arrow B direction side) of the substrate box 43100. ) And fix it with the screw fastened to the back case 43300. As a result, the substrate box 43100 is arranged on the back side of the back case 43300 in a non-rotatable (operable) state. The work of fastening the other side of the board box 43100 to the back side of the back case 43300 with screws may be performed before engaging the engaging member 18310 with the engaged portion 43101.

According to the back case 43300 assembled as described above, since the engaged portion 43101 with which the engaging member 18300 is engaged is formed on the substrate box 43100, the substrate box 43100 is attached to the shaft support member 340 (fixing member 43320). If the board box 43100 is not pivotally supported (the board box 43100 is forgotten to be arranged), the engaging member 18300 cannot be engaged.

Further, as described above, in the engaging member 18300, in a state where no external force is applied, the connecting portion between the first piece 18311 and the second piece 18312 protrudes from the opening 18302a of the rear case 18300 due to gravity. A gravitational force is applied to the engaging member 18310. Therefore, if the board box 43100 is forgotten to be arranged, the fixing member 43320 and the board box 43310 are arranged on the bottom wall portion 43301 of the back case 43300 by locating the engaging member 18310 on the outside of the back case 43300. It is possible to make the operator aware of the abnormality (forgot to arrange the board box 43100). Therefore, since it is possible to prevent forgetting to attach the board box 43100 (main control device 110) that controls the pachinko machine 10, the board box 43100 is arranged in a post-process (for example, at the time of operation check) of the assembly process. You can easily discover that there is nothing. As a result, it is possible to prevent the pachinko machine 10 from being introduced into a store (for example, a pachinko parlor) in a defective state (a state in which parts are forgotten to be attached).

Further, as in the eighteenth embodiment, when the engaging member 18310 and the engaged portion 43101 are incompletely engaged, the engaging member 18310 is projected to the outside of the back case 18300. , Distance dimension LR1 from the end of the engaging member 18310 in the left-right direction (arrow LR direction) of the game board 13 to the right end (arrow R direction side) of the rear case 43300 (see FIG. 164 (a)). Is set to be larger than the inner left-right direction dimension LR2 (see FIG. 164 (b)) in the left-right direction of the outer frame 11 on which the game board 13 is arranged. As a result, when the engaging member 18310 and the fixing member 18320 are not engaged, it is possible to prevent the game board 13 from being arranged on the outer frame 11. As a result, it is possible to notice that the pachinko machine 10 has forgotten to arrange the board box 43100 before the pachinko machine 10 is assembled and the operation is checked. Therefore, the pachinko machine 10 has forgotten to arrange the board box 43100. It is possible to suppress the passage of electricity to the slingshot. As a result, it is possible to prevent other substrates and electrical components from failing due to forgetting to arrange the substrate box 43100.

Next, referring to FIG. 211, when the engaging member 18310 is not engaged with the engaged portion 43101 due to factors such as resistance due to contact with the protruding portion 18301b serving as the rotation axis, the engaging member 18310 is engaged. The case where the joining member 18310 is stopped at the engaging position with the engaged portion 43101 will be described. 211 (a) and 211 (b) are cross-sectional views of the rear case 43300. It should be noted that FIGS. 211 (a) and 211 (b) correspond to the cross-sectional views of FIG. 209 (a). Further, FIGS. 211 (a) and 211 (b) show a state before the engaging member 18310 and the engaged portion 43101 of the substrate box 43100 are engaged with each other, and FIGS. 211 (a) and 211 (b) show. The state in which the substrate box 43100 is displaced in the order of (b) is shown.

As shown in FIG. 211 (a), when the engaging member 18310 is not engaged with the engaged portion 43101 due to factors such as resistance due to contact with the projecting portion 18301b serving as the rotation axis, the engaging member 18310 is engaged. When the mating member 18310 is stopped at the engaging position with the engaged portion 43101, the tip of the first piece 18311 of the engaging member 18310 (the end on the side in the L direction of the arrow in FIG. 211 (a)) becomes the engaged portion. It is arranged on the displacement locus (virtual line A shown in FIGS. 211 (a) and 211 (b)) of the protruding tip portion of the side surface of the 43109 on the bearing portion 117 side.

As a result, as shown in FIG. 211 (b), when the substrate box 43100 is rotated with respect to the fixing member 43320, the side surface of the engaged portion 43109 on the bearing portion 117 side is the first piece of the engaging member 18310. It can be brought into contact with the tip end face of 18311.

In this case, the displacement direction of the engaged portion 43109 and the displacement direction when the engaging member 18310 is disengaged are set to be substantially the same. As a result, the force for rotating the substrate box 43100 toward the bottom wall portion 43301 of the back case 43300 can be used for the force for pushing back the engaging member 18310 via the engaged portion 43101.

Here, since the engaged portion 43101 that engages with the engaging member 18310 is formed on the board box 43100 (an expensive component), it is necessary to replace the board box 43100 when the engaged portion 43101 is damaged. , There was a risk that the manufacturing cost would increase.

Further, when the engaging member 18310 is not engaged with the engaged portion 43101 due to factors such as resistance due to contact with the protruding portion 18301b serving as the rotation axis, the engaging member 18310 is engaged. When stopped at the engaging position with the portion 43101, the engaging member 18300 is displaced from the back side of the bottom wall portion 43301 of the back case 43300 to the front side of the bottom wall portion 43302 in the displacement region of the engaged portion 43101. Be arranged. Therefore, when the substrate box 43100 is displaced, the engaged portion 43101 may collide with the engaging member 18310 and the engaged portion 43101 may be damaged.

On the other hand, in the 43rd embodiment, when the fixing member 43320 is arranged on the bottom wall portion 43301 of the back case 43300, the engagement member 18300 is arranged at a predetermined position (a part of the engaging member 18310 is on the back surface). When the board box 43100 is not arranged at the opening (position protruding from the opening 18302a) of the case 43300, the engaging member 18300 is set to a predetermined position by using a force for moving the substrate box 43100 toward the back side of the bottom wall portion 43301 of the back case 43300. It can be displaced to a position. As a result, it is possible to prevent the engaged portion 43101 of the substrate box 43100 from being damaged.

Next, the back case 44300 according to the 44th embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 212 to 214. In the first embodiment, the case where the movement of the engaging member 310 is restricted by the screw inserted into the back base 720 of the rotating unit 700 has been described, but in the 44th embodiment, the engaging member 44310 is the fixing member 320. The movement of the engaging member 44310 is restricted by being engaged with the projecting portion 44102 projecting from the substrate box 44100. The same parts as those in the above embodiments are designated by the same reference numerals, and detailed description thereof will be omitted.

First, the configuration of the back case 44300 according to the 44th embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 212 and 213. FIG. 212 is an exploded perspective front view of the rear case 44300 according to the 44th embodiment. 213 (a) is a front view of the back case 44300, and FIG. 213 (b) is a cross-sectional view of the back case 44300 in line CCXIIIb-CCXIIIb of FIG. 213 (a). In FIGS. 213 (a) and 213 (b), a state in which the engaging member 44310 and the substrate box 44100 (protruding portion 44102) are engaged with each other is shown.

As shown in FIGS. 212 and 213, the back case 44300 according to the 44th embodiment is erected from the outer edge of the bottom wall portion 301 having a substantially rectangular front view and the four pieces of the bottom wall portion 301 toward the front. It is provided with an outer wall portion 302, and is formed in a box shape in which one side (front side) is opened by each of the wall portions 301 and 302. Further, the back case 44300 includes an engaging member 44310 arranged on the front side of the bottom wall portion 301 (open side formed in a box shape (arrow F direction side)) and the back case 44300 (bottom wall portion 301). A fixing member 44320, which is arranged on the back side of the board and fixes (shafts) the board box 44100 (main control device 110), is provided.

The engaging member 44310 has a crank-like outer shape when viewed from the front, and extends in a direction parallel to each other. The first piece 44311 and the second piece 312, and the first piece 44311 and the second piece 312 thereof. It is composed of a first piece 44311 and a third piece 313 that connects the ends of the second piece 312 in a direction orthogonal to the extending direction of the second piece 312. Further, a sliding groove 314 is formed in each of the first piece 44311 and the second piece 312.

The first piece 44311 has an end portion on one side (arrow R direction side) opposite to the other side (arrow L direction side) to which the third piece 313 is connected as an engaging portion with the fixing member 44320 described later. An engaging portion 316 that is formed and projects outward on both sides in the vertical direction (arrow UD direction), which is a direction substantially orthogonal to the extending direction of the first piece 44311, and the engaging portions 316 at the two locations. From the substantially intermediate position toward the recess 44317 recessed in the extending direction (arrow LR direction) of the first piece 311 and the bottom wall portion 301 side (back side (arrow B direction side)) of the back case 44300. It includes a protruding operator 315.

The recess 44317 is formed by notching the first piece 44311 in the thickness direction (arrow FB direction), and is formed from one side (arrow R direction side) end of the first piece 44311 to the other side (arrow L direction side). ) Is recessed. Therefore, one side of the first piece 44311 is bifurcated. As a result, the rigidity of one side of the first piece 44311 can be made lower than that of the other side. As a result, one side of the first piece 44311 can be easily elastically deformed, and the engaging member 44310 can be easily engaged with the fixing member 44320. The method of engaging the engaging member 44310 and the fixing member 44320 is the same as the method of engaging the engaging member 310 and the fixing member 320 in the first embodiment, and thus detailed description thereof will be omitted. ..

Further, the concave portion 44317 is formed on the concave bottom surface recessed toward the other side (arrow L direction side), and the third piece 313 side (arrow L direction side) toward the bottom wall portion 301 side (arrow B direction side). ) Is provided with an inclined surface 44317a.

The inclined surface 44317a is a surface for sliding the protruding portion 44102 when the protruding tip of the protruding portion 44102 of the substrate box 44100, which will be described later, comes into contact with the inclined surface 44317a, and the substrate box 44100 is on the back side of the bottom wall portion 301. An angle of 45 degrees or less in the direction opposite to the sliding direction when the engaging member 44310 is engaged with the fixing member 44320 with respect to the moving direction (arrow FB direction) of the projecting portion 44102 when it is arranged in It is formed with an inclination (acute angle). As a result, when the tip of the projecting portion 44102 of the substrate box 44100 comes into contact with the projecting portion 44102, the projecting portion 44102 can be easily slid and displaced along the inclined surface 44317a.

The fixing member 44320 is composed of a back case 44300 and a separate member.

Further, the groove-shaped portion 46151b4 is located on the front side with respect to the plane of the recessed bottom surface 46151b2, and the protruding portion 46151b5 is located on the back surface side with respect to the plane surface of the recessed bottom surface 46151b2. That is, the groove-shaped portion 46151b4 and the protruding portion 46151b5 are formed on the front side and the back surface side of the main body portion 46151 with the plane of the concave bottom surface 46151b2 as a boundary.

As a result, as will be described later, the adhesive tape 154a extruded by the protruding portion 46151b5 can be extruded inside the groove-shaped portion 46151b4 and accommodated in the groove-shaped portion 46151b4.

Further, the decorative member 154 has an adhesive tape 154a attached to the outer edge portion. Therefore, the adhesive tape 154a is attached to a region where the surface opposite to the surface attached to the decorative member 154 side is separated inward by a predetermined distance from the outer edge of the concave bottom surface 46151b2 in the rear view. Therefore, a part of the adhesive tape 154a is attached to the groove-shaped portion 46151b4 and the protruding portion 46151b5 of the recessed bottom surface 46151b2.

Therefore, when the decorative member 154 is attached to the main body portion 46151, the adhesive tape 154a is pressed against the protruding portion 46151b5, so that the adhesive tape 154a is elastically deformed and between the protruding portions 46151b5 (grooved portion). It is pushed into 46151b4). As a result, the contact area between the adhesive tape 154a and the main body portion 46151 can be increased as compared with the case where the protruding portion 46151b5 is not formed on the recessed bottom surface 46151b2 and the recessed bottom surface 46151b2 is formed on a flat surface.

That is, the adhesive area between the adhesive tape 154a and the main body portion 46151 can be increased. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the decorative member 154 from peeling off from the main body portion 46151 due to the adhesion of the decorative member 154 to the main body portion 46151. As a result, it is possible to prevent the decorative member 154 from being peeled off from the main body portion 46151 and the position of the decorative member 154 from being displaced with respect to the decorative member 60c of the base plate 60.

Further, the volume of the protruding portion 46151b5 projecting from the recessed bottom surface 46151b2 toward the back surface side is the volume of the space recessed by the groove-shaped portion 46151b4 recessed in the recessed bottom surface 46151b2 toward the front side. Is set smaller than. As a result, the volume of the adhesive tape 154a in which the adhesive tape 154a elastically deformed by being pressed by the protruding portion 46151b5 invades the inside of the groove-shaped portion 46151b4 is made smaller than the volume of the space recessed by the groove-shaped portion 46151b4. be able to.

Therefore, a space can be formed between the adhesive tape 154a that penetrates the inside of the groove-shaped portion 46151b4 and the groove-shaped portion 46151b4. Therefore, the light reflected from the periphery of the end portion where the decorative member 154 and the decorative member 60c of the base plate 60 overlap in the front-rear direction (arrow FB direction) passes through the adhesive tape 154a to the main body portion 46151. It passes through two paths, one is when it is incident and the other is when it is incident on the main body 46151 through the air layer (the space between the grooved portion 46151b4 and the adhesive tape 154a) after passing through the adhesive tape 154a. Is emitted to the player side.

Thereby, the region visually recognized by the light passing through each of the two paths can be made discontinuous by utilizing the refraction due to the incident and exit of the light. As a result, the player can visually recognize the decorative member 154 and the decorative member 60c of the base plate 60 in a blurred state around the end portion where the decorative member 60c overlaps in the front-rear direction (arrow FB direction).

Further, the protruding portion 46151b5 and the groove-shaped portion 46151b4 can diffusely reflect the light incident from the outer region along the outer edge of the concave bottom surface 46151b2 in the rear view. As a result, the player can visually recognize the decorative member 154 and the decorative member 60c of the base plate 60 in a blurred state around the end portion where the decorative member 60c overlaps in the front-rear direction (arrow FB direction).

The back surface 46151d is the back surface of the main body portion 46151 excluding the recess 46151b, and is formed with a constant width on the inner portion along the outer edge of the main body portion 46151 in the rear view. Further, the back surface 46151d is recessed in a groove shape toward the front side with a plurality of back surface projecting portions 46151d2 protruding toward the back surface side (arrow B direction side) in a predetermined area along the inner edge of the back surface 46151d in rear view. A plurality of back surface groove-shaped portions 46151d1 are provided.

The back groove-shaped portion 46151d1 is formed at regular intervals from the inner edge of the back surface 46151d in the rear view to the outside, and is formed in a groove shape along the inner edge of the back surface 46151d. Further, between the adjacent back surface groove-shaped portions 46151d1 of the plurality of back surface groove-shaped portions 46151d1, a back surface protruding portion 46151d2 is projected toward the back surface side.

The back protruding portion 46151d2 is formed between a plurality of back groove-shaped portions 46151d1 formed at regular intervals, and is formed along the inner edge of the back surface 46151d like the back groove-shaped portion 46151d1. To. That is, the back surface protruding portion 46151d2 and the back surface groove-shaped portion 46151d1 are alternately formed from the inner edge side to the outer edge side of the back surface 46151d.

Further, the back groove-shaped portion 46151d1 is located on the front side with respect to the plane of the back surface 46151d, and the back surface protruding portion 46151d2 is located on the back side with respect to the plane of the back surface 46151d. That is, the back groove-shaped portion 46151d1 and the back surface protruding portion 46151d2 are formed on the front side and the back side of the main body portion 46151 with the plane of the back surface 46151d as a boundary.

The back groove-shaped portion 46151d1 and the back protruding portion 46151d2 cause the back portion protruding portion 46151d2 to bite into the decorative member 60c of the base plate 60, and elastically deform the decorative surface side of the decorative member 60c to cause the decorative member 60c. The decorative surface of the back portion can be bent into a wavy shape at the projecting interval of the protruding portion 46151d2. As a result, the decoration of the decorative member 60c arranged on the back side of the back groove-shaped portion 46151d1 and the back protruding portion 46151d2 (the decorative surface is bent in a wavy shape) is visually recognized by the player in a blurred state. Can be done.

Here, as described above, the back groove-shaped portion 46151d1 and the back protruding portion 46151d2 are formed at the end portion of the main body portion 46151 (back surface 46151d) on the concave side 46151b side in the rear view, and the decorative member 154 is formed in the concave portion 46151b. Since the outer shape is set to be substantially the same as the outer shape in the rear view of the above, the decoration on the outside of the end portion (boundary P1) where the decorative member 60c and the decorative member 154 overlap can be visually recognized by the player in a blurred state.

Therefore, it is possible to blur the decoration around the outer side of the portion where the decorative member 154 overlaps the decorative member 60c in the front view in the front-rear direction (arrow FB direction), and the arrangement of the decorative member 60c and the decorative member 154 is displaced. Can be made difficult for the player to recognize. As a result, the decoration of the decorative member 60c and the decorative member 154 can be easily made visible to the player as one decoration.

Further, a back surface protruding portion 46151d2 is formed on the inner edge (edge portion on the recess 46151b side) of the back surface 46151d in the rear view. As a result, when the general winning opening unit 46150 is arranged on the base plate 60 while elastically deforming the decorative member 60c by the back protruding portion 46151d2, it is pushed out to the protrusion on the end side on the recess 46151b side in the rear view. The decorative member 60c can be extruded inside the recess 46151b.

Therefore, since the decorative member 60c can be extruded into the inner portion of the recess 46151b that does not face the back surface 46151d of the main body portion 46151d, the back surface groove-shaped portion 46151d1 is formed at the end portion of the back surface 46151d on the recess 46151b side in the rear view. Compared with the case, the area for elastically deforming the decorative member 60c can be increased.

In this case, since the decorative member 60c is extruded inside the recess 46151b, the extruded decorative member 60c can be accommodated in the gap between the outer edge of the recess 46151b and the outer edge of the decorative member 154 in the rear view.

Therefore, the elastically deformed region of the decorative member 60c can be brought close to the end portion (boundary P1) where the decorative member 154 and the decorative member 60c overlap. As a result, the player recognizes that one decoration formed by the decorative member 154 and the decorative member 60c is formed of two divided decorations (decoration formed by the decorative member 154 and the decorative member 60c). It can be difficult to be done.

Further, the volume of the back surface protruding portion 46151d2 projecting from the back surface 46151d toward the back surface side is the volume of the space recessed in the back surface groove-shaped portion 46151d1 recessed in the back surface 46151d toward the front side. Is set smaller than. As a result, the volume of the decorative member 60c in which the decorative member 60c that is elastically deformed by being pressed by the back surface protruding portion 46151d2 invades the inside of the back surface grooved portion 46151d1 is recessed by the back surface grooved portion 46151d1. It can be smaller than the volume.

Therefore, a space can be formed between the decorative member 60c that penetrates the inside of the back surface grooved portion 46151d1 and the back surface grooved portion 46151d1. Therefore, the light reflected from the periphery of the end portion where the decorative member 154 and the decorative member 60c of the base plate 60 overlap in the front-rear direction (arrow FB direction) is directly incident on the main body portion 46151, and the air. When it is incident on the main body portion 46151 via the layer (the space between the back surface portion groove-shaped portion 46151d1 and the decorative member 60c), and when it is incident on the main body portion 46151, it is emitted to the player side through the two paths.

Thereby, the region visually recognized by the light passing through each of the two paths can be made discontinuous by utilizing the refraction due to the incident and exit of the light. As a result, the player can visually recognize the decorative member 154 and the decorative member 60c of the base plate 60 in a blurred state around the end portion where the decorative member 60c overlaps in the front-rear direction (arrow FB direction).

Further, the back surface protruding portion 46151d2 and the back surface grooved portion 46151d1 can diffusely reflect the light incident on the main body portion 46151 from the inner region along the inner edge of the back surface 46151d in the rear view. As a result, the player can visually recognize the decorative member 154 and the decorative member 60c of the base plate 60 in a blurred state around the end portion where the decorative member 60c overlaps in the front-rear direction (arrow FB direction).

Next, the general winning opening unit 47150 in the 47th embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. 219. In the 31st embodiment, the case where the inner surface on the lower side of the recessed portion 31151a1 is formed so as to be inclined downward toward the back surface side has been described, but the recessed portion 47151a1 in the 47th embodiment is the inner surface on the lower side. Is formed with an upward slope toward the back side. The same parts as those in the above embodiments are designated by the same reference numerals, and detailed description thereof will be omitted.

Further, the fourth convex portion 48571b is set to have a non-uniform protrusion dimension toward the front side (arrow F direction side).

More specifically, the low convex portion 48571b2 of the region forming the semi-circular arc portion on the upper side (arrow U direction side) of the base plate 48571 shown in FIGS. 221 (a) and 221 (b) has a predetermined protruding dimension (this embodiment). In the form, it is set to 1.5 mm), and the highly convex portion 48571b1 of the region forming the semicircular arc portion on the lower side (arrow D direction side) of the base plate 48571 shown in FIGS. 221 (a) and 221 (b). Then, the protruding dimension (3 mm in the present embodiment) is set to be larger than the protruding dimension of the low convex portion 48571b2.

As a result, before and after the second path member 48570 is rotationally displaced about the center of the support portion 34579, the fourth convex is visually recognized in the front view of the game board 48013 via the first path member 48560. The shape of the portion 48571b can be made the same.

Further, as described above, the region recognized via the front plate 48564 of the first path member 48560 is recognized in a blurred state due to the uneven shape of the decorative surface 48564f of the front plate 48564, so that the second path member 48570 It is possible to make it difficult for the player to recognize the difference in the protruding dimensions of the fourth convex portion 48571b projecting to the front side of the above.

As a result, when the player recognizes the difference in height of the fourth convex portion 48571b, it is determined that the gaming state of the pachinko machine 10 (see FIG. 1) is in a disadvantageous state, and the player does not play the game. Can be suppressed. As a result, it is possible to prevent the player from not playing the game before playing the game, so that the operating rate of the pachinko machine 10 can be improved.

The support portion 34579 is a portion that pivotally supports the second path member 48570, and is inserted into a through hole 34060d that opens in a columnar shape in the base plate 34060. Further, the outer diameter of the support portion 34579 and the inner diameter of the through hole 34060d are formed to have substantially the same dimensions. As a result, it is possible to prevent the position of the second path member 48570 from being displaced with respect to the base plate 34060 before and after the second path member 48570 is rotated (displaced) about the center of the support portion 34579. As a result, it is possible to prevent the player from recognizing that the position of the second path member 48570 has been changed due to the misalignment of the second path member 48570. As a result, it is possible to prevent the player from not playing the game before playing the game, so that the operating rate of the pachinko machine 10 can be improved.

Similar to the 34th embodiment, the support portion 34579a has a fastening hole 34579a (FIG. 220 (b)) recessed in the end surface of the protruding tip (arrow B direction side) toward the front side (arrow F direction side). See). The fastening hole 34579a is recessed coaxially with the shaft of the support portion 34579, and the inner peripheral surface thereof is internally threaded. As a result, the threaded portion 34553b of the fixture 34553 inserted into the through hole 34060d from the back surface side (arrow B direction side) of the base plate 34060 can be screwed into the fastening hole 34579a.

According to the special winning device 48550 configured as described above, when changing the discharging position of the game ball discharged from below the special winning device 48550, the operator is formed on the base plate 34060 of the game board 48013. A hand (arm) is inserted from the front side (arrow F direction side) of the game board 48013 to the back side (arrow B direction side) of the base plate 34060 through the first opening 60a (center frame 86) and fixed. Access the operation unit 34553a of the tool 34553.

Next, the operation portion 34553a is rotated to loosen the screw portion 34553b screwed into the fastening hole 34579a of the second path member 48570. As a result, the second path member 48570 is made rotatable about the axis of the support portion 34579, and the second path member 48570 is rotated to change the position of the fourth convex portion 48571b of the second path member 48570. To do. When the position of the fourth convex portion 48571b is changed, the position where the game ball flowing down inside the special winning device 48550 easily collides with the fourth convex portion 48571b is changed, so that the game is discharged from the special winning device 48550. The ejection position of the ball can be changed.

In this case, as described above, the base plate 48571 of the second path member 48570 is formed in a circular shape in front view, and the support portion 48579 is formed coaxially with the axis thereof. Therefore, the second path member 48570 is rotated. In this case, it is possible to suppress a change in the arrangement of the second path member 48570 with respect to the base plate 34060 in the front view. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the player from recognizing that the second path member 48570 has been rotated. As a result, it is possible to prevent the player from not playing the game because it is judged to be disadvantageous.

As shown in FIGS. 221 (a) and 221 (b), when the high convex portion 48571b1 of the fourth convex portion 48571b is arranged on the lower side (arrow D direction side) with respect to the low convex portion 48571b2. The front view shape of the highly convex portion 48571b1 is arranged in a semi-circular shape with an opening upward (in the direction of arrow U).

Therefore, the inner peripheral surface side of the highly convex portion 48571b1 is located on the upper side (the side in the direction of the arrow U). Therefore, the game ball flowing into the space between the front plate 48564 and the base plate 48571 is likely to come into contact with the inner peripheral surface side of the high convex portion 48571b1 and flows down along the inner peripheral surface of the high convex portion 48571b1 to form the base plate 48571. It is easy to collect at the same position in the left-right direction as the center.

As described above, in the special winning device 48550, the center line in the left-right direction of the second path member 48570 arranged on the back side is arranged on the same straight line in the front view as the center line in the left-right direction of the first winning opening 64. Since it is provided, the game ball flowing down from a position substantially the same as the center of the base plate 48571 in the left-right direction is easily flowed into the first winning opening 64. That is, it is considered to be an advantageous gaming state for the player.

On the other hand, the second path member 48570 is rotated 180 degrees around the center of the support portion 34579 from the position shown in FIG. 221 (b), and the high convex portion 48571b1 of the fourth convex portion 48571b is relative to the low convex portion 48571b2. When arranged on the upper side (arrow U direction side), the front view shape of the highly convex portion 48571b1 is arranged in a semicircular arc shape in which the lower side (arrow D direction) opens.

Therefore, the outer peripheral surface side of the highly convex portion 48571b1 is located on the upper side (the side in the direction of the arrow U). Therefore, the game ball flowing into the space between the front plate 48564 and the base plate 48571 is likely to come into contact with the outer peripheral surface side of the high convex portion 48571b1 and flows down along the outer peripheral surface in both the left and right directions of the base plate 48571. It is easy to flow down either (arrow LR direction).

As a result, when the high convex portion 48571b1 of the fourth convex portion 48571b is arranged on the upper side (arrow U direction side) with respect to the low convex portion 48571b2, the high convex portion 48571b1 is arranged with respect to the low convex portion 48571b2. The game ball flowing down between the front plate 48564 and the base plate 48571 is less likely to flow into the first winning opening 64 than when it is arranged on the lower side (arrow D direction side). That is, it is considered to be a disadvantageous gaming state for the player.

Further, the second path member 48570 is rotated 90 degrees clockwise with respect to the front view from the position shown in FIG. 221 (b) about the center of the support portion 34579, and the highly convex portion 48571b1 of the fourth convex portion 48571b is rotated. When arranged on the left side of the front view (the side in the L direction of the arrow) with respect to the low convex portion 48571b2, the front view shape of the high convex portion 48571b1 is arranged in a semicircular shape in which the right side of the front view is opened.

Therefore, the outer peripheral surface side of the highly convex portion 48571b1 is located on the upper side on the left side in the front view. Further, in the flow path of the game ball between the front plate 48564 of the first path member 48560 and the base plate 48571 of the second path member 48570, the distance between the facings on the left side of the front view on which the high convex portion 48571b1 is arranged is low. It is set narrower than the distance between the facing surfaces on the right side of the front view where the convex portion 48571b2 is arranged.

Therefore, the game ball flowing in from the left side of the front view between the front plate 48564 and the base plate 48571 facing each other tends to come into contact with the outer peripheral surface side of the high convex portion 48571b1 and flows down along the outer peripheral surface of the high convex portion 48571b1 to flow down along the outer peripheral surface of the base plate. The left side of the front view of 48571 (the side in the direction of arrow L) can be easily flowed down.

On the other hand, the game ball flowing in from the right side of the front view between the front plate 48564 and the base plate 48571 facing each other is less likely to come into contact with the fourth convex portion 48571b than the game ball flowing in from the left side of the front view. As a result, the game ball flowing in from the right side of the front view between the front plate 48564 and the base plate 48571 facing each other can easily flow down the region on the right side of the front view from the intermediate position in the left-right direction (arrow LR direction). As a result, the game ball flowing in from the front view right side between the front plate 48564 and the base plate 48571 facing each other wins the first prize as compared with the game ball flowing in from the front view left side between the front plate 48564 and the base plate 48571 facing each other. It is easy to flow into the mouth 64.

Further, the game ball that flows in from the right side of the front view between the front plate 48564 and the base plate 48571 facing each other and flows down toward the region on the left side of the front view is easily brought into contact with the inner peripheral surface side of the highly convex portion 48571b1. As a result, the game ball that flows in from the right side of the front view between the front plate 48564 and the base plate 48571 facing each other and flows down toward the region on the left side of the front view flows down along the inner peripheral surface of the highly convex portion 48571b1. , The center side of the base plate 48571 in the left-right direction (arrow LR direction) can be easily flowed down. As a result, the game ball flowing in from the front view right side between the front plate 48564 and the base plate 48571 facing each other wins the first prize as compared with the game ball flowing in from the front view left side between the front plate 48564 and the base plate 48571 facing each other. It is easy to flow into the mouth 64.

The second path member 48570 is rotated 90 degrees counterclockwise with respect to the front view from the position shown in FIG. 221 (b) about the center of the support portion 34579, and the highly convex portion 48571b1 of the fourth convex portion 48571b is rotated. When the second path member 48570 is arranged on the right side of the front view (clockwise R direction side) with respect to the low convex portion 48571b2, the second path member 48570 is viewed from the position shown in FIG. 221 (b) with the center of the support portion 34579 as the axis. On the other hand, since it is only in the opposite direction to the left and right when it is rotated 90 degrees clockwise, the detailed description thereof will be omitted.

As described above, in the 48th embodiment, the arrangement of the second path member 48570 with respect to the first path member 48560 can be changed to change the position where the distance between the front plate 48564 and the base plate 48571 is narrowed. .. By changing the positions of the front plate 48564 and the base plate 48571, as described above, it is possible to change the direction in which the game ball flowing into the space between the front plate 48564 and the base plate 48571 facing each other (special winning device 48550) is likely to flow down. .. As a result, the game balls flowing into the space between the front plate 48564 and the base plate 48571 facing each other (special winning device 48550) can be easily flowed into the first winning opening 64 or difficult to flow into the first winning opening 64. It is possible to change the state that is advantageous or disadvantageous to the player.

In this case, as described above, the base plate 48571 of the second path member 48570 is arranged with respect to the base plate 34060, and the uneven shape of the decorative surface 48564f of the front plate 48564 allows the player to arrange the second path member 48570. It can be difficult to recognize. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the player from not playing the pachinko machine 10 (see FIG. 1) by determining that the gaming state is disadvantageous before playing the pachinko machine 10 (see FIG. 1). As a result, the operating rate of the pachinko machine 10 can be improved.

Further, the front plate 49564 is provided with a decorative surface 49564f (see FIG. 222 (b)) having a plurality of irregularities on the front surface (the surface on the side in the direction of the arrow F). As a result, the light emitted to the player side via the decorative surface 49564f (front plate 49564) can be diffusely reflected by the unevenness. Therefore, it is possible to blur the area where the player visually recognizes the game board 49013 through the decorative surface 49564f (front plate 49564).

Further, in the front plate 49564, the width dimension in the gravity direction (arrow UD direction) in the front view is set to be larger than the width dimension in the gravity direction of the second path member 49570, and the width dimension of the second path member 49570 in the gravity direction is set. It is placed in a position to cover the front side. As a result, the player can visually recognize the second path member 49570 through the front plate 49564 (transparent). Therefore, as described above, the region to be visually recognized via the front plate 49564 can be blurred by the unevenness of the decorative surface 49564f, so that the player can visually recognize the second path member 49570 in a blurred state.

The first wall portion 49565 is a portion to be fastened to the base plate 35060 of the game board 49013, to the back side (arrow B direction side) of the first wall portion 49565 having a substantially L-shaped cross section in the horizontal direction. The vertical dimension of the above is set to a value in which the dimension X4 between the front plate 49564 and the fourth convex portion 49571b of the base plate 49571 described later (see FIG. 222B) is slightly larger than the diameter of the game ball.

Further, the first wall portion 49565 has a bent portion 49565 g that is bent in a direction parallel to the front surface of the base plate 35060 from the vertical tip portion, and penetrates the bent portion 49565 g in the front-rear direction (arrow FB direction). 49565g1 through hole, 49565g2 recessed portion recessed from the back surface of the bending portion 49565g toward the front side (arrow F direction side), and the front side of the recessed portion 49565g2 and the front side of the bending portion 49565g. A bulging portion 49565g3 that bulges toward (the side in the direction of arrow F) is formed.

The second path member 49570 is projected from the plate-shaped base plate 49571 facing the front plate 49564 of the first path member 49560 and the back side (arrow B direction side) of the base plate 49571 in a rectangular shape in the rear view. A support portion 35579 is provided.

The base plate 49571 is a member that forms a throwing path for a game ball in a gap between the first path member 49560 and the front plate 49564 facing the front plate 49564, and is formed at a position separated from the front plate 49564 by a predetermined amount. Further, the base plate 49571 includes a fourth convex portion 49571b projecting toward the front plate 49564 side (arrow F direction side). Thereby, the game ball flowing down between the base plate 49571 and the front plate 49564 facing each other can be made to collide with the fourth convex portion 49571b to change the flowing down direction.

Further, in the second path member 49570, the support portion 35579 is formed on the base plate 35060 by loosening the fixture 34553 screwed to the support portion 35579, similarly to the second path member 34570 in the 35th embodiment. It can be slid along the inside of the sliding hole 35060e (see FIG. 222 (b)). Thereby, the arrangement of the fourth convex portion 49571b with respect to the base plate 35060 can be changed to change (adjust) the flow direction of the game ball flowing down between the base plate 49571 and the front plate 49564 facing each other.

The fourth convex portion 49571b is formed so as to extend in the left-right direction (arrow LR direction) in the front view. Further, the fourth convex portion 49571b is set to have a non-uniform protrusion dimension toward the front side (arrow F direction side).

More specifically, the fourth convex portion 49571b is set to a predetermined protruding dimension (1.5 mm in the present embodiment) in the low convex portion 49571b2 forming the intermediate portion in the left-right direction, and the left and right of the high convex portion 49571b1. The high-convex portion 49571b1 forming both side portions is set to a protrusion dimension (3 mm in the present embodiment) larger than the protrusion dimension of the low-convex portion 49571b2.

The connecting portion between the low convex portion 49571b2 and the high convex portion 49571b1 is inclined from the protruding tip portion of the low convex portion 49571b2 toward the protruding tip portion of the high convex portion 49571b1 as shown in FIG. 222 (b). Is formed. As a result, when the game ball flowing down between the base plate 49571 and the front plate 49564 facing each other comes into contact with the connecting portion between the low convex portion 49571b2 and the high convex portion 49571b1, the game ball is moved along the fourth convex portion 49571b. It can be made to flow down. As a result, it is possible to easily collect the game balls flowing down between the base plate 49571 and the front plate 49564 facing each other on the front side of the low convex portion 49571b2.

Further, the extension dimension X18 (see FIG. 222 (b)) of the low convex portion 49571b2 of the fourth convex portion 49571b in the left-right direction is the left-right direction when the fourth convex portion 49571b is arranged at a substantially intermediate position in the left-right direction. It is set to be smaller than the maximum displaceable movable amount X19 (see FIG. 222 (b)).

As a result, when the arrangement of the second path member 49570 is moved and the center position of the second path member 49570 in the left-right direction is moved to a position different from the center position of the first winning opening 64 in the left-right direction, It is possible to easily arrange the connecting portion (inclined portion) of the low convex portion 49571b2 and the high convex portion 49571b1 above the first winning opening 64. As a result, the game ball flowing in between the base plate 49571 and the front plate 49564 facing each other from above the first winning opening 64 in the direction of gravity is brought into contact with the connecting portion of the low convex portion 49571b2 and the high convex portion 49571b1 to win the first prize. It can be made difficult to flow into the mouth.

Further, the extension dimension X18 is set to be smaller than the opening width in the left-right direction (arrow LR direction) of the first winning opening 64 arranged below the special winning device 49550. As a result, when the low-convex portion 49571b2 is arranged above the first winning opening 64, it is possible to facilitate the flow of the game balls collected on the front side of the low-convex portion 49571b2 into the first winning opening 64. ..

According to the special winning device 49550 configured as described above, when changing the discharging position of the game ball discharged from below the special winning device 49550, the operator is formed on the base plate 49060 of the game board 49013. A hand (arm) is inserted from the front side (arrow F direction side) of the game board 49013 to the back side (arrow B direction side) of the base plate 35060 through the first opening 60a (center frame 86) and fixed. Access the operation unit 34553a of the tool 34553.

Next, the operation portion 34553a is rotated to loosen the screw portion 34553b screwed into the fastening hole 34579a of the second path member 49570. As a result, the support portion 35579 of the second path member 49570 can be moved along the inner peripheral surface of the through hole 34060d. When the second path member 49570 is moved to a predetermined position, the position of the fourth convex portion 49571b is also changed in the same manner. Therefore, as described above, the game ball that is above the first winning opening 64 and flows in from between the base plate 49571 and the front plate 49564 facing each other is brought into contact with the connecting portion of the low convex portion 49571b2 and the high convex portion 49571b1. Alternatively, by making it difficult to bring the ball into contact with the ball, it is possible to make it easy for the game ball to flow into the first winning opening 64 or to make it difficult for the game ball to flow into the first winning opening 64.

Next, with reference to FIG. 224, a change in the ejection position of the game ball when the position of the fourth convex portion 49571b (second path member 49570) of the special winning device 49550 in the 49th embodiment is changed will be described. 224 (a) to 224 (c) are cross-sectional views of the game board 49013 in the CCXXIV-CCXXXIV line of FIG. 222 (b). In addition, in FIGS. 224 (a) to 224 (c), the position of the second path member 49570 in FIG. 224 (b) is used as a reference position, and in FIG. 224 (a), the second path member 49570 is in front of the reference position. The state of being displaced to the left side of the view is illustrated, and in FIG. 224 (c), the state of the second path member 49570 being displaced to the right side of the front view (the side in the direction of arrow R) from the reference position is shown.

First, as shown in FIG. 224 (b), when the substantially central portion of the low convex portion 49571b2 of the fourth convex portion 49571b in the left-right direction (arrow LR direction) is arranged above the first winning opening 64. The connecting portions of the low convex portion 49571b2 and the high convex portion 49571b1 are arranged on both outer sides in the left-right direction of the first winning opening 64.

Therefore, the game ball flowing from the upper side of the first winning opening 64 in the direction of gravity between the base plate 49571 and the front plate 49564 facing each other passes between the low convex portion 49571b2 and the front plate 49564 facing each other to the first winning opening 64. It is easy to flow in. That is, it is considered to be an advantageous gaming state for the player.

On the other hand, the game ball flowing in between the base plate 49571 and the front plate 49564 facing each other from the upper side in the gravity direction on both outer sides of the first winning opening 64 in the left-right direction abuts on the connecting portion of the low convex portion 49571b2 and the high convex portion 49571b1. Therefore, it is easy to be guided upward in the direction of gravity of the first winning opening 64. Therefore, the game ball that flows in between the base plate 49571 and the front plate 49564 facing each other from the upper side in the gravity direction on both outer sides of the first winning opening 64 in the left-right direction is easily flowed into the first winning opening 64.

Therefore, when the substantially central portion of the low convex portion 49571b2 of the fourth convex portion 49571b in the left-right direction (arrow LR direction) is arranged on the upper side of the first winning opening 64 in the gravity direction, the base plate 49571 and the front plate The game ball that flows in between the 49564 facing surfaces can be easily discharged from the upper side in the gravity direction of the first winning opening 64, so that the game ball can easily flow into the first winning opening 64.

Next, as shown in FIG. 224 (a), the substantially central portion of the low convex portion 49571b2 of the fourth convex portion 49571b in the left-right direction (arrow LR direction) is on the left side of the front view with respect to the first winning opening 64. When moved, the connecting portion of the low convex portion 49571b2 with the high convex portion 49571b1 on the right side of the front view is arranged on the upper side of the first winning opening 64 in the gravity direction.

Therefore, the game ball flowing in between the base plate 49571 and the front plate 49564 facing each other from the upper side in the gravity direction (arrow U direction side) of the first winning opening 64 is connected to the low convex portion 49571b2 and the high convex portion 49571b1 on the right side in the front view. It abuts on the portion to facilitate the flow down on the left side of the first winning opening 64.

Further, the game ball flowing into the space between the base plate 49571 and the front plate 49564 facing each other from the upper side of the low convex portion 49571b2 in the gravity direction passes between the low convex portion 49571b2 and the front plate 49564 facing each other, and is on the left side of the first winning opening 64. Flow down.

Therefore, when the substantially central portion of the low convex portion 49571b2 of the fourth convex portion 49571b in the left-right direction (arrow LR) is arranged on the left side of the first winning opening 64, the substantially central portion of the low convex portion 49571b2. Is arranged on the upper side of the first winning opening 64 in the direction of gravity, so that the game ball discharged from between the base plate 49571 and the front plate 49564 facing each other can be made less likely to flow into the first winning opening 64. That is, the gaming state can be set to be disadvantageous to the player.

As shown in FIG. 224 (c), the substantially central portion of the low convex portion 49571b2 of the fourth convex portion 49571b in the left-right direction (arrow LR direction) moves to the right side of the front view with respect to the first winning opening 64. If this is the case, the substantially central portion of the low convex portion 49571b2 of the fourth convex portion 49571b in the left-right direction (arrow LR direction) is moved to the left side of the front view with respect to the first winning opening 64, and the movement of the ball. Since the directions are only opposite on the left and right in the front view, the detailed description thereof will be omitted.

As described above, in the 49th embodiment, the arrangement of the second path member 49570 with respect to the first path member 49560 is changed, and the position where the distance between the front plate 49564 and the base plate 49571 facing each other is narrowed is changed. Can be done. By changing the positions of the front plate 49564 and the base plate 49571, as described above, it is possible to change the direction in which the game ball flowing into the space between the front plate 49564 and the base plate 49571 facing each other (special winning device 49550) is likely to flow down. .. As a result, the game balls flowing into the space between the front plate 49564 and the base plate 49571 facing each other (special winning device 49550) can be easily flowed into the first winning opening 64 or difficult to flow into the first winning opening 64. It is possible to form a state that is advantageous or disadvantageous to the player.

In this case, as described above, the base plate 49571 of the second path member 49570 is visible to the player via the front plate 49564 and the unevenness of the decorative surface 49564f of the front plate 49564, so that the player can see the second path member. It is possible to make it difficult to recognize the arrangement of 49570. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the player from not playing the pachinko machine 10 (see FIG. 1) by determining that the gaming state is disadvantageous before playing the pachinko machine 10 (see FIG. 1). As a result, the operating rate of the pachinko machine 10 can be improved.

Next, the special winning device 50550 according to the 50th embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 225 and 226. In the thirteenth embodiment, the first path member 13560 arranged on the front side of the special winning device 13550 is formed of a light transmitting member, and the game ball flowing down the back side of the first path member 13560 is visually recognized from the front side. Although the case where it is possible has been described, in the 50th embodiment, an opening 50564 g is formed in the front plate 50564 of the first path member 50560, and a game ball flowing down the back side through the opening 50564 g is visible. Will be done. The same parts as those in the above embodiments are designated by the same reference numerals, and detailed description thereof will be omitted.

First, the special winning apparatus 50550 according to the 50th embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 225 and 226. 225 (a) is a front view of the special winning device 50550 according to the 50th embodiment, and FIG. 225 (b) is a cross-sectional view of the special winning device 50550 in the CCXXVb-CCXXXVb line of FIG. 225 (a). FIG. 226 (a) is an exploded perspective front view of the special winning device 50550, and FIG. 226 (b) is an exploded perspective rear view of the special winning device 50550.

In addition, in FIG. 226 (b), when the inside of the special prize apparatus 50550 is visually recognized through the opening 50564g of the front plate 50564 which will be described later, the line of sight from the uppermost part is illustrated by the chain line with the line of sight SS1. Then, the line of sight from the bottom is designated by the line of sight SS2 and is illustrated by a two-dot chain line.

As shown in FIGS. 225 and 226, the special winning device 50550 according to the 50th embodiment has a first path member 50560 arranged on the front side and a second path member 50560 arranged on the back side of the first path member 50560. It includes a two-path member 50570.

In the 50th embodiment, similarly to the special winning device 13550 in the 13th embodiment, the first winning opening 64 (FIG. 6) is below the left side (arrow L direction side) of the special winning device 50550 in the front view (arrow D direction). 2) is arranged. Therefore, as the number of game balls ejected from the left side of the special winning device 50550 in the front view is larger than that in the right side of the front view (side in the direction of the arrow R), the gaming state for the player is set advantageously.

The first path member 50560 is a front plate 50564 formed in a plate shape along the front side of the game area of the game board 13 (see FIG. 2), and the front plate 50564 from the left and right ends to the back side (base plate). It mainly includes a first wall portion 13565 that protrudes toward the 60 side (see FIG. 11).

The front plate 50564 is a plate member that serves as a wall portion on the front side (arrow F direction side) of the flow path of the game ball formed between facing the second path member 50570, which will be described later, and is formed of a non-light transmitting member. Will be done. As a result, the game ball flowing down the back side via the front plate 50564 can be made invisible. Further, the front plate 50564 has a plurality of openings 50564g that open from the front side toward the second path member 50570 side, and the second path member 50570 from a substantially intermediate position in the left-right direction (arrow LR direction) of the front plate 50564. A third convex portion 13564d projecting toward the side is provided.

The plurality of openings 50564g are formed in the left-right direction (arrow LR direction) of the first path member 50560 in the front view, and a plurality of openings 50564g adjacent to each other in the gravity direction are separated from each other at a predetermined distance. (7 in this embodiment) are arranged side by side in the direction of gravity.

Further, the distance dimension Y10 (see FIG. 225 (a)) between the opening 50564g and the adjacent openings 50564g in the gravity direction is set smaller than the diameter of the game ball. As a result, the game ball flowing down between the front plate 50564 of the first path member 50560 and the base plate 50571 of the second path member 50570 can always be visually recognized from at least one opening 50564g in the front view. it can.

Here, as described above, since the special winning device 50550 is arranged above the first winning opening 64, the first winning opening 64 (see FIG. 2) and the center in the direction of gravity (arrow UD direction). It is arranged between the frame 86 (see FIG. 2). Therefore, the special winning device 50550 is arranged below the intermediate position (center frame 86) of the game board 13 in the gravity direction (arrow UD direction).

As described above, the viewpoint of the player in the normal gaming state is set at a position substantially intermediate in the gravity direction of the game board 13. Therefore, the special winning device 50550 arranged below the substantially intermediate position in the gravity direction of the game board 13 is visually recognized by the player in a state of looking down from the front side.

On the other hand, according to the opening 50564g in the 50th embodiment, even when the dimension Y10 of the adjacent openings 50564g visually recognizes the special winning device 50550 from above, the special winning is given from at least one opening 50564g. The game ball flowing down the inside of the device 50550 is set to a size that can be visually recognized.

More specifically, the opening width Y11 (see FIG. 226 (b)) in the gravity direction (arrow UD direction) is set with respect to the plate thickness T3 (see FIG. 226 (b)) of the front plate 50564. Further, assuming that the angle of inclination when visually recognizing the lower end on the back side from the upper end on the front side of the opening 50564 g is an angle θ7 (see FIG. 226 (b)), the angle between the opening and the dimensions is (Y10 × Y11). ) / (T3 × sInθ7) <(diameter of the game ball) is set. As a result, when the special winning device 50550 is visually recognized through the opening 50564 g, the game ball can be visually recognized from any position.

The second path member 50570 is a plate-shaped base plate 50571 facing the front plate 50564 of the first path member 50560, and the first path member 50560 from the left and right (arrow LR direction) ends of the base plate 50571. A fourth wall portion 13573, which is projected on the front plate 50564 side, is provided.

The base plate 50571 is a member that forms a throwing path for a game ball in a gap between the first path member 50560 and the front plate 50564 facing the front plate 50564, and the outer shape in front view is formed smaller than the outer shape of the front plate 50564. As a result, the front side of the base plate 50571 can be covered with the front plate 50564, so that the base plate 50571 can be made difficult to see from the player side.

Further, the base plate 50571 is located below a plurality of (two locations in the present embodiment) fourth convex portions 50571b protruding toward the first path member 50560 side (arrow F direction side) and the fourth convex portions 50571b. It mainly includes a sixth convex portion 13571d projecting from the front plate 50564 side.

The plurality of fourth convex portions 50571b are protrusions for guiding the game ball flowing down inside the special winning device 50550, and extend in the left-right direction (arrow LR direction) of the base plate 50571. Therefore, the shim member SI (see FIGS. 2226 (a) and 226 (b)) is sandwiched between the front plate 50564 and the base plate 50571, and the front surface of the base plate 50571 is inclined with respect to the back surface of the front plate 50564. When this is done, the game ball that comes into contact with the fourth convex portion 50571b can be guided to the side where the distance between the front plate 50564 and the base plate 50571 facing each other in the front-rear direction (arrow FB direction) is increased.

Further, the fourth convex portion 50571b is arranged side by side in the direction of gravity (arrow UD direction) at a predetermined interval in the direction of gravity, and is formed between adjacent openings 50564g. As a result, when the special winning device 50550 is visually recognized from the direction perpendicular to the front surface of the front plate 50564, it is possible to prevent the fourth convex portion 50571b from being visually recognized through the opening 50564g. Therefore, the player recognizes the distance between the fourth convex portion 50571b and the front plate 50564 facing each other, and recognizes that the gaming state is disadvantageous before playing the game with the pachinko machine 10 (see FIG. 1). It is possible to prevent the game from being stopped. As a result, the operating rate of the pachinko machine 10 can be improved.

Further, the fourth convex portion 50571b is below the line of sight SS1 from the uppermost portion of the opening 50564g formed on the upper side in the gravity direction of the two adjacent openings 50564g, and the two adjacent openings. It is formed above the line of sight SS2 from the lowermost part of the opening 50564g formed on the lower side in the gravity direction of the portion 50564g. As a result, when visually recognizing the inside of the special winning device 50550 from the front side through the opening 50564g, it is possible to make it difficult to visually recognize the fourth convex portion 50571b formed on the second path member 50570. Therefore, the player recognizes the distance between the fourth convex portion 50571b and the front plate 50564 facing each other, and recognizes that the gaming state is disadvantageous before playing the game with the pachinko machine 10 (see FIG. 1). It is possible to prevent the game from being stopped. As a result, the operating rate of the pachinko machine 10 can be improved.

Further, similarly to the fourth convex portion 50571b, the upper end portion of the base plate 50571 in the gravity direction is from the line of sight SS1 from the uppermost portion of the opening 50564g formed on the upper side in the gravity direction of the two adjacent openings 50564g. Is also below, and is formed above the line of sight SS2 from the bottom of the opening 50564g formed on the lower side in the direction of gravity of the two adjacent openings 50564g. As a result, when the inside of the special winning device 50550 is visually recognized from the front side through the opening 50564 g, it is possible to make it difficult to visually recognize the upper end portion of the base plate 50571 in the gravity direction. Therefore, before the player recognizes the distance between the base plate 50571 and the front plate 50564 facing each other and plays the game with the pachinko machine 10 (see FIG. 1), the player recognizes that the game state is disadvantageous and plays the game. It can be suppressed that it is not done. As a result, the operating rate of the pachinko machine 10 can be improved.

The shim member SI is used for adjusting (moving) the distance between the front plate 50564 of the first path member 50560 and the base plate 50571 of the second path member 50570 facing each other in the 50th embodiment, as in the thirteenth embodiment. It can be adjusted at a position sandwiched between the front plate 50564 and the base plate 50571, and the adjustment method is the same as that of the thirteenth embodiment, so detailed description thereof will be omitted.

Next, the special winning device 51550 according to the 51st embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. 227. In the 50th embodiment, the case where the opening 50564g formed in the front plate 50564 is formed in the left-right direction (arrow LR direction) has been described, but in the 51st embodiment, it is formed in the front plate 51564. The opening 51564 g is formed in the direction of gravity (arrow UD direction). The same parts as those in the above embodiments are designated by the same reference numerals, and detailed description thereof will be omitted.

First, the special winning device 51550 according to the 51st embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. 227. 227 (a) is a front view of the special winning device 51550 according to the 51st embodiment, and FIG. 227 (b) is a cross-sectional view of the special winning device 51550 in the CCXXVIIb-CCXXVIIb line of FIG. 227 (a).

In FIG. 227 (a), the fourth convex portion 51571b formed on the base plate 51571 is shown by a chain line. Further, in FIG. 227 (b), when the inside of the special winning device 51550 is visually recognized through the opening 51564 g of the front plate 51564, the line of sight from the left end portion in the front view is designated by the line of sight SS3. It is illustrated by a dotted line, and the line of sight from the right end in front view is illustrated by a two-dot chain line with the code of line of sight SS4.

As shown in FIG. 227, the special winning device 51550 according to the 51st embodiment has a first path member 51560 arranged on the front side and a second path member arranged on the back side of the first path member 51560. 51570 and.

In the 51st embodiment, similarly to the special winning device 50550 in the 50th embodiment, the first winning opening 64 (FIG. 5) is below the left side (arrow L direction side) of the special winning device 51550 in the front view (arrow D direction). 2) is arranged. Therefore, as the number of game balls ejected from the front left side of the special winning device 51550 is larger than that on the front right side (arrow R direction side), the gaming state for the player is set advantageously.

The first path member 51560 is a front plate 51564 formed in a plate shape along the front side of the game area of the game board 13 (see FIG. 2), and the front plate 51564 from the left and right ends to the back side (base plate). It mainly includes a first wall portion 13565 that protrudes toward the 60 side (see FIG. 11).

The front plate 51564 is a plate member that serves as a wall portion on the front side (arrow F direction side) of the flow path of the game ball formed between facing the second path member 51537, which will be described later, and is formed of a non-light transmitting member. Will be done. As a result, the game ball flowing down the back side via the front plate 51564 can be made invisible. Further, the front plate 51564 has a plurality of openings 51564g that open from the front side toward the second path member 51570 side, and the second path member 51570 from a substantially intermediate position in the left-right direction (arrow LR direction) of the front plate 51564. It is provided with a third convex portion 13564d projecting toward the side.

The plurality of openings 51564 g are opened in a long hole shape in the direction of gravity (arrow UD direction) of the first path member 51560 in the front view, and a plurality of openings 51564 g are spaced apart from the adjacent openings 51564 g.

A sixth convex portion 13571d projecting from the front toward the first path member 51560 side is provided.

The plurality of fourth convex portions 51571b are protrusions for guiding the game ball flowing down inside the special winning device 51550, and are divided along the horizontal direction (arrow LR direction) in the front view of the base plate 51571. Is formed. Therefore, when the shim member SI (see FIG. 157 (a)) is sandwiched between the front plate 51564 and the base plate 51571 and the front surface of the base plate 51571 is tilted with respect to the back surface of the front plate 51564, the first The game ball that comes into contact with the four convex portions 51571b can be guided to the side where the distance between the front plate 51564 and the base plate 51571 in the front-rear direction (arrow FB direction) is increased.

Further, the fourth convex portion 51571b divided in the left-right direction (arrow LR direction) is set at a protruding position downward in the gravity direction from one end portion in the left-right direction toward the other end portion. Thereby, when the game ball is guided from one side to the other side, the game ball can be easily guided from the fourth convex portion 51571b on one side to the upper end portion of the fourth convex portion on the other side. As a result, the fourth convex portion 51571b makes it easier to guide the game ball. The fourth convex portion 51571b is formed by being divided into a substantially X shape in a front view, and a plurality of fourth convex portions 51571b that incline downward from one side to the other side and from the other side to one side. The plurality of fourth convex portions 51571b that incline downward can easily guide the game ball in both the left and right directions.

The fourth convex portion 51571b is arranged side by side at a predetermined interval in the direction of gravity in the horizontal direction (arrow LR) in the front view, and is formed between the adjacent openings 51564 g. As a result, when the special winning device 51550 is visually recognized from the direction perpendicular to the front surface of the front plate 51564, it is possible to prevent the fourth convex portion 51571b from being visually recognized through the opening 51564 g. As a result, the operating rate of the pachinko machine 10 can be improved.

Further, the fourth convex portion 51571b is on the right side (arrow) of the line of sight SS3 from the left end of the opening 51564g formed on the left side in the left-right direction (arrow LR direction) of the two adjacent openings 51564g. (R direction side), which is formed on the left side (arrow L direction side) of the line of sight SS3 from the right end of the opening 51564g formed on the right side in the left-right direction of the two adjacent openings 51564g. ..

Thereby, when visually recognizing the inside of the special prize apparatus 51550 from the front side of the special prize apparatus 51550 through the opening 51564 g, it is possible to make it difficult to visually recognize the fourth convex portion 51571b formed by the second path member 51570. .. Therefore, the player recognizes the distance between the fourth convex portion 51571b and the front plate 51564 facing each other, recognizes that the gaming state is disadvantageous before playing the game with the pachinko machine 10 (see FIG. 1), and recognizes that the gaming state is disadvantageous. Can be suppressed from not being performed. As a result, the operating rate of the pachinko machine 10 can be improved.

The shim member SI is used for adjusting (moving) the distance between the front plate 51564 of the first path member 51560 and the base plate 51571 of the second path member 51570 in the 51st embodiment, as in the 13th embodiment. It can be adjusted at a position sandwiched between the front plate 51564 and the base plate 51571, and the adjustment method is the same as that of the thirteenth embodiment, so detailed description thereof will be omitted.

Next, the first unit 52551 of the special winning device 52550 according to the 52nd embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 228 and 229. In the first embodiment, the case where the second concave portion 571I and the second convex portion 564c are formed in the curved path WK1 of the first unit 551 has been described, but the curved path WK1 of the first unit 52551 in the 52nd embodiment has been described. Is formed with a second convex portion 52571p on the back surface side and a second convex portion 52564c.

FIG. 228 is a cross-sectional view of the first unit 52551 according to the 52nd embodiment. 229 (a) is a cross-sectional view of the first unit 52551 in the CCXXIXa-CCXXIXa line of FIG. 228, and FIG. 229 (b) is a cross-sectional view of the first unit 52551 in the CCXXIXb-CCXXIXb line of FIG. 228. Note that FIG. 228 corresponds to the cross-sectional view of the first unit 551 in FIG. 25 (a).

As shown in FIGS. 228 and 229, the first unit 52551 in the 52nd embodiment has a space (path) through which the game ball can flow down, similarly to the first unit 551 in the first embodiment. , Arranged on the center frame 86 (see FIG. 2).

Further, the first unit 52551 is arranged on the front side (arrow F direction side) of the first path member 52560 and on the back surface side (arrow B direction side) of the first path member 52560. A path member 52570 and a third path member 580 (see FIG. 19) arranged on the back surface of the second path member 52570 are mainly provided.

The first path member 52560 has a front plate 52564 formed in a plate shape along the front surface of the game area of the game board 13 (see FIG. 2) and a substantially U-shaped cross section opened on the upper side (arrow U direction side). The first receiving portion 561, the second receiving portion 562, and the third receiving portion 563 (see FIG. 21), which are formed in the above and project from the upper end portion of the front plate 52564 to the rear side, and the first receiving portion 561 thereof. Along with the first wall portion 565 which is formed so as to be connected to the lower side (arrow D direction side) of the second receiving portion 562 and the third receiving portion 563 and extends along a part of the end portion of the front plate 564. , Mainly two sets of second wall portion 566 and third wall portion 567 (see FIG. 21) formed below the first wall portion 565 and projecting from two locations separated by a predetermined interval. Be prepared.

The front plate 52564 is a plate member that serves as a wall portion on the front side of the flow path of the game ball formed between the second path member 52570 or the third path member 580 (see FIG. 19), which will be described later. It is formed from a transparent member. As a result, the player can visually recognize the game ball flowing down the inside of the first unit 52551 through the front plate 52564.

Further, the front plate 52564 includes a guide portion 564a (see FIG. 20) projecting from the second path member 52570 side (arrow B direction side), and the guide portion 564a causes the game ball to hit the back surface of the front plate 52564. By suppressing the formation of scratches and the adhesion of dirt on the game ball due to contact, it is possible to maintain a state in which the player can easily see the game ball flowing down inside the first unit 52551.

The second path member 52570 includes a plate-shaped base plate 52571 facing the front plate 52564 of the first path member 52560, and a fourth wall portion 573 projecting from the front surface of the base plate 52571 toward the first path member 52560. And the fifth wall portion 574 (see FIG. 21) projecting at a position that is projected downward from the fourth wall portion 573 at a predetermined distance, and the fifth wall portion 574 that is separated from the fifth wall portion 574 by a predetermined distance. It is mainly provided with a sixth wall portion 575 (see FIG. 21) projecting at a position.

The base plate 52571 is arranged at a position separated from the front plate 52564 of the first path member 52560 by the diameter of the game ball. As a result, the game ball can flow down between the front plate 52564 and the base plate 52571.

The flow path of the game ball formed between the opposites of the first path member 52560 and the second path member 52570 is from the main path SK1 to the main path SK6, the curved path WK1 and the sub-path HK1 as in the first embodiment. It mainly includes an auxiliary route HK3. The game ball flows down the main path SK1, the main path SK2, the curved path WK1, the main path SK3, the main path SK4, the main path SK5, and the main path SK6 in this order. Alternatively, the main route SK3 in the middle of flowing down the main routes SK1 to SK6 flows into the sub-path HK1 communicating with the main route SK3 and flows down the sub-path HK1. Alternatively, it is flowed from the main route SK5 on the way down the main route SK1 to the main route SK6 into either the sub-path HK2 or the sub-path HK3 communicating with the main route SK5 and flows down either the sub-path HK2 or the sub-path HK3. To do.

In the main path SK2, the main path SK3, and the curved path WK1 in the 52nd embodiment, the first convex on the back side is projected from the base plate 52571 of the second path member 52570 toward the front side (arrow F direction side). A portion 52571n, a second convex portion 52571p on the back surface side, and a third recessed portion 571j recessed toward the back surface side (arrow B direction side) are provided, and the front plate 52564h of the first path member 52560 is provided on the back surface side. It is provided with a second convex portion 52564c and a third convex portion 564d projecting toward it.

The back side first convex portion 52571n is formed in the main path SK2, the back side second convex portion 52571p and the second convex portion 52564c are formed in the curved path WK1, and the third concave portion 571j and the third convex portion 564d are formed in the main path SK3. Will be done.

The first convex portion 52571n on the back surface side is formed on the downstream side of the first step portion 571k in the rolling direction of the game ball on the main path SK2, and is the second downstream side in the rolling direction of the game ball on the main path SK2. An upstream end is continuously formed at the end of the first step portion 571k.

Further, the back surface side first convex portion 52571n is formed so that the inclination angle of the first step portion 571k with respect to the front surface of the base plate 52571 on the upstream side of the main path SK2 is substantially the same as the inclination angle of the first step portion 571k with respect to the front surface of the base plate 52571. Therefore, after the game ball flowing down the main path SK2 flows down along the first step portion 571k, the game ball can flow down along the back side first convex portion 52571n. As a result, the game ball flowing down the main path SK2 between the front plate 52564 and the base plate 52571 facing each other can be guided to the front plate 52564 side (front side).

The gap L24 (see FIG. 229 (b)) between the first convex portion 52571n on the back side and the front plate 52564 facing each other is set to a value larger than the diameter of the game ball, and the game ball can pass between the facing spaces. It is said that. Further, the distance dimension L25 (see FIG. 229 (b)) from the protruding tip of the first convex portion 52571n on the back side to the rolling end in the flow direction of the main path SK2 is set to a value smaller than the radius of the game ball. The radius.

As a result, the game ball guided on the inside of the main path SK2 to the protruding side (front plate 52564 side (front side)) of the back side first convex portion 52571n is directed to the base end side (base plate) of the back side first convex portion 52571n. The game ball can be thrown to the curved path WK1 before turning back to the 52571 side (back side). Therefore, the game ball flowing into the curved path WK1 can be positioned so as to be biased toward the front plate 52564 side.

The second convex portion 52571p on the back surface side and the second convex portion 52564c are formed at positions facing each other in the front-rear direction (arrow FB direction). Further, the protrusion dimensions of the second convex portion 52571p and the second convex portion 52564c on the back surface side at opposite positions are set to be substantially the same. As a result, the game ball flowing into the main path SK3 from the curved path WK1 can be thrown to a substantially central position in the front-rear direction of the main path SK3.

Further, the second convex portion 52571p on the back surface side and the second convex portion 52564c are formed in a rectangular shape long in a direction intersecting the throwing direction of the curved path WK1 in the front view, and are on the communication side with the main path SK2 in the front view. The longitudinal direction is set in the direction of inclining upward in the direction of gravity (side in the direction of arrow U) as the distance from the above is increased.

More specifically, the second convex portion 52571p and the second convex portion 52564c on the back side are linear along the rolling locus of the center of the game ball that rolls on the main path SK2 (fourth wall portion 573) in the front view. With respect to the drawn virtual line IL3 (see FIG. 228), the communication side with the main path SK2 is formed on the lower side in the gravity direction (the side in the arrow D direction) than the virtual line IL3, and from the communication side with the main path SK2. The separated side is formed on the upper side in the gravity direction (the side in the arrow U direction) with respect to the virtual line IL3.

Further, the back surface side second convex portion 52571p and the second convex portion 52564c are set so that the protrusion distance in the opposite direction (arrow FB direction) increases as the distance from the communication side with the main path SK2 side increases. .. That is, the distance between the opposite side of the second convex portion 52571p on the back surface side and the second convex portion 52564c is set larger as it is closer to the main path SK2 side.

As a result, when the rolling speed of the game ball flowing into the curved path WK1 from the main path SK2 is relatively high, the game ball comes into contact with the protruding tip surfaces of the second convex portion 52571p and the second convex portion 52564c on the back side. It is possible to easily prevent the game ball from being exposed inside the curved path WK1.

Further, the back side second convex portion 52571p and the second convex portion 52564c are provided with a back side tip surface 52571p1 and a front side flat surface 52564c1 formed on a flat surface on the protruding tip surface, respectively, and the back surface side tip surface 52571p1 and the second convex portion 52564c1 The front flat surface 52564c1 is formed so as to be inclined toward the projecting base end side toward the downstream side of the curved path WK1 (see FIG. 229 (a)).

This makes it easier to change the throwing direction of the game ball that collides with the front end surface 52571p1 and the front flat surface 52564c1 to the flow direction of the curved path WK1 and suppresses the game ball from being exposed (swaying) on the curved path WK1. it can. As a result, the game ball can be smoothly flowed down from the main path SK2 to the main path SK3.

Further, in the back surface side second convex portion 52571p and the second convex portion 52564c, the protrusion dimension in the opposite direction on the communication side between the main path SK2 and the curved path WK1 is larger than the protrusion dimension of the back side first convex portion 52571n. It is set to be small, and the distance dimension between the facing surfaces is set to be larger than the gap L24 between the front surface side first convex portion 52571n and the front plate 52564 facing each other.

As a result, the game ball guided to the front plate 52564 side (arrow F direction side) by the back side first convex portion 52571n can be easily brought into contact with the second convex portion 52564c. Therefore, the game ball thrown from the main path SK2 to the curved path WK1 can be easily moved along the protruding tip of the second convex portion 52564c. Therefore, in the curved path WK1, the throwing direction of the game ball of the main path SK2 By moving the game ball along the protruding tip of the second convex portion 52564c while letting the game ball flow down, the game ball can be easily brought into contact with the back surface side tip surface 52571p1. As a result, the game ball flows down along the front end surface 52571p1 on the back surface side, so that the game ball passing through the curved path WK1 can be easily moved to the communication side between the main path SK3 and the curved path WK1, and the curved path WK1 can be moved. It becomes easier for the game ball to pass.

Further, the back surface side second convex portion 52571p and the second convex portion 52564c are set to the same height as the rolling surface of the main path SK2 side (a part of the arrow L direction side is set to the same height as the rolling surface of the main path SK2. , A part of the game ball whose throwing speed decreases due to contact with the second convex portion 52571p on the back surface side and the second convex portion 52564c can be positioned on the extension line in the throwing direction of the main path SK2.

Therefore, when the game balls continuously enter the inside of the special winning device 52550 and the game balls continuously pass, the preceding game balls come into contact with the rear end surface 52571p1 and the front flat surface 52564c1. By doing so, it is possible to slow down the flow speed of the preceding game ball and cause the trailing game ball to collide (contact) with the preceding game ball.

As a result, the preceding game ball can be easily pushed out along the rear end surface 52571p1 and the front side flat surface 52564c1 by the force of the collision of the following game balls, and the preceding game ball can be easily pushed out along the flow direction of the game ball on the curved path WK1. It can be easily flowed down (on the side in the direction of arrow D). As a result, it is possible to prevent the game balls from flowing down the special winning device 52550 in a continuous state, and the player can visually recognize the game balls flowing down the special winning device 52550 one by one.

Further, as described above, the sub-path HK1 is communicated with the main path SK3 communicating with the downstream side of the curved path WK1, and the first path extends or retracts to the communicating portion between the sub-path HK1 and the main path SK3. The variable plate 583b switches whether the game ball can flow from the main path SK3 to the sub-path HK1. The first variable plate 583b is displaced between the overhang position and the retracted position at a fixed timing when a predetermined gaming state (for example, a probable change state after a big hit) is set.

Therefore, if the game balls flowing down the special winning device 52550 are likely to flow down, there is a possibility that the connected game balls will flow down the main path SK3 at the timing of the overhanging operation of the first variable plate 583b. Will be higher. Therefore, the player may be given the impression that the game ball does not easily flow into the secondary route HK1, which may impair the player's interest.

On the other hand, in the special winning device 52550, the second convex portion 52564c and the second convex portion 52571p on the back side formed in the curved path WK1 can release the series of the gaming balls to be connected and let them flow down one by one. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the game ball from continuously passing over the first variable plate 583b when the first variable plate 583b is in the overhanging state. As a result, it is difficult to give the player the impression that the game ball is difficult to enter the sub-path HK1, and it is possible to suppress the player's interest from being impaired.

Next, the first unit 53551 of the special winning device 53550 according to the 53rd embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 230 and 231. In the first embodiment, the case where the first convex portion 564b is formed on the front plate 564 of the main path SK2 of the first unit 551 and the first concave portion 571h is formed on the base plate 571 has been described.

Further, the first concave portion on the front side is formed in an elliptical shape long in the horizontal direction in the front view, and the concave bottom surface in the direction orthogonal to the rolling surface (fourth wall portion 573) of the game ball on the upstream side of the main path SK2. The height dimension Y8 (see FIG. 230) is set to the radius of the game ball, and the height dimension Y9 from the rolling surface of the game ball on the downstream side of the main path SK2 to the concave bottom surface in the direction orthogonal to the main path SK2 (FIG. 230). 230) is set higher than the radius of the game ball.

As a result, when the game ball flowing down the main path SK2 is thrown along the first concave portion 53564h on the front side, a force that lifts the game ball on the upper side in the direction of gravity (in the direction of the arrow U) is applied to the game ball to cause the game ball to roll. The speed can be reduced. As a result, the rolling speed of the game ball flowing into the curved path WK1 can be sufficiently reduced, and the game ball can be easily flowed down smoothly.

Further, the front side first concave portion 53564h is set to a dimension that exceeds the end portion on the downstream side of the main path SK2 (the end portion on the arrow B direction side exceeds the rolling surface of the main path SK2 (the upper surface of the fourth wall portion 573)). As a result, the game ball guided along the concave bottom surface of the first concave portion 53564h on the front side can flow into the curved path WK1 from a position higher than the rolling surface of the main path SK2.

Therefore, the rolling speed of the game ball can be slowed down by the first concave portion 53564h on the front side as described above, and the game ball can flow into the curved path WK1 from a high position in the direction of gravity. It is possible to easily change the flow direction of the game ball flowing into WK1 to the throwing direction (arrow UD direction) of the curved path WK1. As a result, it is possible to easily stabilize the inflow of the game ball from the main path SK2 to the curved path WK1.

Further, in the front side first recess 53564h, the end portion on the downstream side of the main path SK2 (the end on the arrow R direction side) is at least a part of the second recess 53571I described later and the gravity direction (arrow UD direction). It is formed at a position that overlaps with. As a result, the game ball guided along the concave bottom surface of the first concave portion 53564h on the front side can be easily thrown to the second concave portion 53571I formed in the curved path WK1 communicating with the downstream side of the main path SK2.

Further, since it is formed at a position overlapping with at least a part of the second recess 53571I in the direction of gravity, the direction of the game ball thrown from the main path SK2 (front side first recess 53564h) to the curved path WK1 is changed to the curved path WK1. It can be approached in the direction of flow.

Therefore, when the game ball continuously passes through the inside of the special winning device 53550, the flow speed of the preceding game ball is slowed down by the second concave portion 53571I and the second convex portion 564c of the curved path WK1 to lead the game ball. It is possible to collide (contact) the trailing game ball in the throwing direction of the game ball. As a result, the preceding game ball can be pushed out by the trailing game ball, and the preceding game ball can be easily flowed down in the flow direction (arrow D direction) of the curved path WK1. As a result, it is possible to prevent the game balls from flowing down the special winning device 53550 in a continuous (continuous) state, and the player can visually recognize the game balls flowing down the special winning device 53550 one by one.

Further, as described above, the sub-path HK1 is communicated with the main path SK3 communicating with the downstream side of the curved path WK1, and the first path extends or retracts to the communicating portion between the sub-path HK1 and the main path SK3. The variable plate 583b switches whether the game ball can flow from the main path SK3 to the sub-path HK1. The first variable plate 583b is displaced between the overhang position and the retracted position at a fixed timing when a predetermined gaming state (for example, a probable change state after a big hit) is set.

Therefore, if the game balls flowing down the special winning device 53550 are likely to flow down, there is a possibility that the connected game balls will flow down the main path SK3 at the timing of the overhanging operation of the first variable plate 583b. Will be higher. Therefore, the player may be given the impression that the game ball does not easily flow into the secondary route HK1, which may impair the player's interest.

On the other hand, in the special winning device 53550, the ball is connected by the first convex portion 53571n on the back side, the first concave portion 53564h on the front side, the second concave portion 53571I and the second convex portion 564c formed on the main path SK2 and the curved path. Since the series of game balls can be released and the balls can flow down one by one, it is possible to prevent the game balls from continuously passing over the first variable plate 583b when the first variable plate 583b is in the overhanging state. As a result, it is difficult to give the player the impression that the game ball is difficult to enter the sub-path HK1, and it is possible to suppress the player's interest from being impaired.

The second recess 53571I is formed as a recess recessed in the base plate 53571 of the curved path WK1 toward the back surface side. Further, the second recess 53571I is formed in an elliptical shape in the front view, the upper end of the ellipse in the longitudinal direction is arranged on the communication side between the main path SK2 and the curved path WK1, and the lower end in the longitudinal direction is the main path SK3. Is arranged on the communication side with the curved path WK1. As a result, the game ball flowing from the main path SK2 into the curved path WK1 can be made to flow down along the inside of the second recess 53571I so as to be smoothly guided to the main path SK3.

Further, in the second recess 53571I, the upper end portion in the front view is separated from the lower end portion in the horizontal direction (arrow LR direction) from the connection side between the curved path WK1 and the main path SK2 or the main path SK3. Set to position. That is, the second recess 53571I is formed in a state in which the longitudinal direction in the front view is inclined with respect to the direction of gravity.

Further, in the second recess 53571I, the center of the ellipse in the front view faces from the end of the fourth wall 573 on the curved wall 545b side in the left-right direction (arrow LR direction) to the curved wall 545b in the horizontal direction. It is set to a position approximately in the middle of the space. As described above, since the longitudinal direction of the second recess 53571I is inclined with respect to the gravity direction in the front view, the end of the fourth wall portion 573 in the left-right direction (arrow LR direction) on the curved wall portion 545b side. A lower right portion when the longitudinal direction of the second recess 53571I is arranged in the gravity direction can be arranged on the lower side in the gravity direction at a substantially intermediate position between the portions to the curved wall portion 545b in the horizontal direction.

As a result, the game ball passing through the curved path WK1 is substantially between facing each other from the end of the fourth wall portion 573 on the curved wall portion 545b side in the left-right direction (arrow LR direction) to the curved wall portion 545b in the horizontal direction. The game ball can be concentrated on the lower right portion of the second recess 53571I where it is easy to pass through the intermediate position.

Therefore, it becomes easier to guide the game ball passing through the curved path WK1 along the concave surface in the lower right portion of the curved path, and the game ball exiting the curved path WK1 is sent in the flow direction of the main path SK3. Can be done. As a result, the game ball can be stably thrown from the curved path WK1 to the main path SK3.

Further, the second recess 53571I is formed on the inner surface facing the first recess 53564h on the front side in the front-rear direction (arrow FB direction) (see FIG. 231 (a)). As described above, since the front side first recess 53564h is formed by being recessed in an arc shape toward the front side, when the game ball comes out of the front side first recess 53564h, the game ball is on the front side. By throwing the ball along the inner surface of the first recess 53564h, the game ball can be rolled in the throwing direction of the main path SK2 and thrown toward the second recess 53571I side. As a result, the game ball sent from the main path SK2 to the curved path WK1 can be easily received inside the front side first recess 53564h.

Further, as described above, the second recess 53571I is formed so that the longitudinal direction in the front view is inclined with respect to the gravity direction, and the upper end in the front view is formed at a position separated from the downstream end portion of the main path SK2. Will be done. Therefore, the separation distance of the game ball in the flow direction in the front view from the first concave portion 53564h on the front side of the main path SK2 to the curved path WK1 is lengthened.

As a result, by flowing down the main path SK2 at a speed equal to or higher than a predetermined speed, a game ball that does not flow inside the front side first recess 53564h and flows down the front side of the main path SK2 is formed on the front side of the curved path WK1. By abutting the second convex portion 564c and flowing it down to the back surface side (base plate 53571 side), it is possible to facilitate the throwing of the game ball inside the second concave portion 53571I of the curved path WK1.

On the other hand, when the game ball rolls on the main path SK2 at a speed equal to or less than a predetermined speed, the game ball is guided to the front side (front plate 53564 side) by the back side first convex portion 53571n and the front side first concave portion 53564h. Flow down the inside of. As a result, the game ball flowing down along the inner wall of the first recess 53564h on the front side rolls toward the second recess 53571I of the curved path WK1 and is thrown inside the second recess 53571I.

Therefore, regardless of the flow velocity of the main path SK2 (regardless of whether it has passed inside the first recess 53564h on the front side), the game ball flowing down the curved path WK1 can pass inside the second recess 53571I. As a result, the game ball thrown from the curved path WK1 to the main path SK3 can flow down along the inside of the second recess 53571I to stabilize the throwing of the game ball from the curved path WK1 to the main path SK3.

The third recess 571j is a recess formed by being recessed in the base plate 53571 constituting the inner wall of the main path SK3, and is formed in an elliptical shape long in the horizontal direction (arrow LR direction) in the front view. Further, the third recess 571j is formed in the base plate 53571 at a position protruding to the front side by the step portion 571m.

The recessing depth of the third recess 571j at the center in the vertical direction toward the back surface side (arrow B direction side) is substantially the same as the height dimension L23 (see FIG. 231 (b)) of the step portion 571m toward the front side. Is set to. Further, the third recess 571j is set so that the end portion on the downstream side of the main path SK3 is substantially the same as the end portion of the step portion 571m. As a result, when the game ball passing through the inside of the third recess 571j comes out of the third recess 571j, it is possible to prevent the game ball from being caught on the inner surface of the third recess 571j on the throwing direction side.

The step portion 571m is projected from the inner wall on the back side of the main path SK3 (front of the base plate 53571) to the front side (arrow F direction side), and is formed on the upstream side in the path of the main path SK3. Further, the protruding surface of the step portion 571m is set at a position substantially the same as the back surface side of the curved path WK1 in the front-rear direction (arrow FB direction). Therefore, when the game ball is sent from the curved path WK1 to the main path SK3, the game ball can flow down to the downstream side of the main path SK3 without being caught by the step portion 571m.

On the other hand, when the game ball flows backward in the main path SK3, the game ball can be brought into contact with the protruding portion of the step portion 571 m. As a result, it is possible to prevent the game ball from flowing back through the main path SK3.

Further, the sub-path HK1 is communicated with the main path SK3, and the game ball is moved from the main path SK3 to the sub-path HK1 by the first variable plate 583b extending or retracting to the communicating portion between the sub-path HK1 and the main path SK3. It can be switched between inflow possible and impossible. The first variable plate 583b is displaced between the overhang position and the retracted position at a fixed timing when a predetermined gaming state (for example, a probable change state after a big hit) is set.

Therefore, the pachinko machine 10 (see FIG. 1) is set to a predetermined gaming state (for example, during a big hit), and the gaming ball flows into the secondary path HK1 at the timing when the first variable plate 583b is displaced from the retracted position to the overhanging position. In this case, where the game ball may be pushed out by the first variable plate 583b and flow back through the main path SK3, the step portion 571m formed in the main path SK3 is larger than the first variable plate 583b in the main path SK3. Since it is formed on the upstream side of the ball, it is possible to suppress the backflow of the gaming ball due to the displacement of the first variable plate 583b.

In the 53rd embodiment, the inner surface (the back surface of the front plate 53564) facing the third recess 571j of the main path SK3 is a flat surface. As a result, while suppressing the inhibition of the throwing of the game ball thrown from the curved path WK1 to the main path SK3, the game ball that rampages when passing through the main path SK3 is received inside the third recess 571j. , The rampage can be suppressed.

Therefore, it is possible to prevent the game balls passing through the main path SK3 from staying and the game balls from being connected on the main path SK3. As a result, when the pachinko machine 10 (see FIG. 1) is put into a predetermined gaming state and the first variable plate 583b is displaced between the overhang position and the retracted position at a predetermined timing, it is set to the overhang position. By passing the continuous gaming balls through the shaped portion of the first variable plate 583b, it is possible to prevent the player from giving the player the impression that the gaming balls are difficult to enter in the sub-path HK1.

Next, the first unit 54551 of the special winning device 54550 according to the 54th embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 232 to 235. In the first embodiment, the case where only the main route SK2 is communicated with the main route SK1 of the first unit 551 has been described, but in the 54th embodiment, the main route SK2 and the sub route SK2 are connected to the main route SK1 of the first unit 54551. Route HK6 is communicated. The same parts as those in the above embodiments are designated by the same reference numerals, and the description thereof will be omitted.

First, the configuration of the first unit 54551 according to the 54th embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 232 and 233. FIG. 232 is an exploded perspective front view of the first unit 54551 according to the 54th embodiment. FIG. 233 is a schematic cross-sectional view of the first unit 54551. Note that FIG. 233 corresponds to a schematic cross-sectional view of the first unit 551 in FIG. 22.

As shown in FIGS. 232 and 233, the first unit 54551 in the 54th embodiment has a space (path) through which the game ball can flow down, similarly to the first unit 551 in the first embodiment. , Arranged on the center frame 86 (see FIG. 2).

Further, the first unit 54551 is arranged on the front side (arrow F direction side) of the first path member 54560 and on the back surface side (arrow B direction side) of the first path member 54560. It is mainly provided with a path member 54570 and a third path member 54580 arranged on the back surface side of the second path member 54570.

The first path member 54560 has a front plate 54564 formed in a plate shape along the front surface of the game area of the game board 13 (see FIG. 2) and a substantially U-shaped cross section opened on the upper side (arrow U direction side). The first receiving portion 561, the second receiving portion 562, and the third receiving portion 563, and the first receiving portion 561 and the second receiving portion 562 thereof, which are formed in the above and project from the upper end portion of the front plate 54564 to the back side. The first wall portion 565, which is formed so as to be continuous with the lower side (arrow D direction side) of the third receiving portion 563 and extends along a part of the end portion of the front plate 564, and the first wall portion thereof. It mainly includes two sets of second wall portions 566 and third wall portions 567, which are formed below the portions 565 and project from two locations at predetermined intervals.

The front plate 54564 is a plate member that serves as a wall portion on the front side of the flow path of the game ball formed between the second path member 54570 or the third path member 54580, which will be described later, and is the second path in front view. The members 54570 and the third path member 54580 are formed in substantially the same shape as the outer shape, and the whole is formed of a light transmitting member. As a result, the player can visually recognize the game ball flowing down the inside of the first unit 54551 through the front plate 54564.

Further, the front plate 54564 includes a guide portion 564a (see FIG. 20) projecting from the second path member 54570 side (arrow B direction side), and the guide portion 564a causes the game ball to hit the back surface of the front plate 54564a. It is possible to prevent the player from seeing the game ball flowing down inside the first unit 54551 by suppressing the formation of scratches and the adhesion of dirt on the game ball due to the contact.

The second path member 54570 includes a plate-shaped base plate 54571 facing the front plate 54564 of the first path member 54560, and a fourth wall portion 573 projecting from the front surface of the base plate 54571 toward the first path member 54560. The fifth wall portion 54574, which is projected downward from the fourth wall portion 573 at a predetermined distance, and the fifth wall portion 54574, which is projected downward from the fifth wall portion 54574, are projected at a predetermined distance. The sixth wall portion 54575 is mainly provided.

The base plate 54571 is arranged at a position separated from the front plate 54564 of the first path member 54560 by the diameter of the game ball. As a result, the game ball can flow down between the front plate 54564 and the base plate 54571.

Further, the base plate 54571 has a first opening 571a, a second opening 571b, and a third opening 571c that are opened at positions corresponding to the first receiving portion 561, the second receiving portion 562, and the third receiving portion 563, respectively. A fourth opening 571d that opens below the first opening 571a, and a fifth opening 571e and a sixth opening 54571f that open above the fifth wall 54574 and the sixth wall 54575, respectively. A recessed portion 571g located between the fifth wall portion 54574 and the sixth wall portion 54575 and recessed on the back side, and a recessed portion 571 g formed so as to project from the left end of the base plate 54571 and recessed toward the back side. It mainly includes a projecting portion 54572 having a continuous passage 54572a.

The projecting portion 54572 projects from the fourth opening 571d to the sixth opening 54571f on the left side of the base plate 54571 when viewed from the front. Further, the projecting portion 54572 includes a groove-shaped communication passage 54572a formed by being recessed toward the back surface side.

The communication passage 54572a is formed in a substantially U-shape in front view, and is formed with both ends of the U-shape facing the base plate 54571 side. Further, in the communication passage 54572a, one end on the upper side of the front view substantially U-shape is communicated with the front side of the fourth opening 571d, and the other end on the lower side of the front view substantially U-shape is the sixth opening 54571f. It is communicated to the front side.

The recessed width and recessed depth of the continuous passage 54572a are both set to be larger than the diameter of the game ball, and the game ball can pass through the inside thereof. Further, the front side of the continuous passage 54572a (protruding portion 54572) is covered with the front plate 54564 of the first path member 54560, and the game ball passing through the continuous passage 54572a is discharged to the outside of the first unit 54551. Is suppressed. Therefore, the sub-path HK6 that communicates the main path SK1 and the main path SK5 is formed by the internal space of the communication passage 54572a.

Further, the communication passage 54572a is communicated with one end on the upper side thereof to the left side (arrow L direction side) of the fourth opening 571d in the front view, and is moved downward as it is separated from the fourth opening 571d. It is formed at an angle. Further, the upper surface of the fourth wall portion 573 projecting from the lower end portion of the fourth opening 571d is inclined downward from the side of the fourth opening 571d toward the right side of the front view (the side in the direction of arrow R). Is formed.

Therefore, the game ball that flows in from the first receiving portion 561 of the first unit 54551, passes through the main path SK1, and flows out from the fourth opening 571d rolls along the inclination direction of the upper surface of the fourth wall portion 573. Since it moves, it rolls in a direction (arrow R direction) away from one end on the upper side of the communication passage 54572a in the front view. That is, the game ball flowing in from the first unit 54551 does not normally flow into the continuous passage 54572a (sub-path HK6), but rolls on the upper surface (main path SK2) of the fourth wall portion 573.

The fifth wall portion 54574 is a portion serving as a rolling surface of the game ball thrown from the curved wall portion 565b of the first wall portion 565 described above, and is a portion of the game ball in a direction orthogonal to the lower surface of the fourth wall portion 573. It is projected at a position separated below the diameter and extends in the left-right direction (arrow LR direction) of the base plate 54571. Further, the upper surface (the surface on the arrow U direction side) of the fifth wall portion 54574 is lowered as it goes from the curved wall portion 565b side (arrow R direction side) to the recessed portion 571g side (arrow L direction side) described later. It is formed at an angle. As a result, the game ball thrown from the curved wall portion 565b to the upper surface of the fifth wall portion 54574 can be rolled to the recessed portion 571g side. Further, the fifth wall portion 54574 includes a first receiving recess 574a, a second receiving recess 574b, and a fifth receiving recess 54574c that are recessed downward on the rolling surface of the game ball.

The fifth receiving recess 54574c is formed at the end of the fifth wall portion 54574 on the recessed portion 571g side (arrow L direction side) with respect to the first receiving recess 574a and the second receiving recess 574b. Further, the fifth receiving recess 54574c is formed in a substantially L-shape opposite to the left and right in the front view, and the dimensions of both sides of the L-shape are set to be larger than the diameter of the game ball. Further, a sixth opening 54571f that opens into the base plate 54571 is formed inside the fifth receiving recess 54574c. As a result, the game ball thrown inside the fifth receiving recess 54574c can be thrown to the back side of the base plate 54571 through the sixth opening 54571f.

The sixth opening 54571f is divided into a plurality of openings (four locations in the present embodiment) by the third path member 54580 arranged on the back surface side of the second path member 54570. Of the four openings, the two openings below the second variable plate 54584b, which will be described later, and formed inside the third receiving recess 575a and the fifth receiving recess 54574c in the front view are the second path. The back side of the member 54570 is communicated with a collection path for collecting the game ball. On the other hand, the opening formed above the second variable plate 54584b and the opening formed above the third wall portion 567 are the openings formed on the back surface side of the second path member 54570 of the third path member 54580. The second covering member 582 communicates with the second path member 54570 on the back surface side.

Further, above the fifth receiving recess 54574c, when the pachinko machine 10 (see FIG. 1) is in a normal gaming state (for example, a non-big hit state), a second variable plate of the second drive unit 54584, which will be described later, is used. A part of 54584b (first plate member 54584b1) covers the opening on the upper side (fourth wall portion 573 side). As a result, the game ball is restricted from flowing into the inside of the fifth receiving recess 54574c from above the fifth receiving recess 54574c in the normal gaming state.

Further, a detection device SE6 (not shown) is arranged in front of the sixth opening 54571f formed inside the fifth receiving recess 54574c. As a result, a predetermined game value is given to the player by detecting the game ball flowing into the fifth receiving recess 54574c. In the present embodiment, the player is given a game value by a prize ball having a predetermined number of balls.

The sixth wall portion 54575 is a portion serving as a rolling surface of a game ball that rolls on the fifth wall portion 54574 and is sent to the recessed portion 571g, and is a portion downward from the lower surface of the fifth wall portion 54574 (arrow D). It is projected from the base plate 54571 at a position separated from the diameter of the game ball on the (direction side) side, and extends in the left-right direction (arrow LR) of the base plate 54571. Further, the sixth wall portion 54575 is formed so that the upper surface is inclined downward from the recessed portion 571g side (arrow L direction side) toward the third wall portion 567 side. As a result, the game ball thrown from the recessed portion 571g to the upper surface of the sixth wall portion 54575 can be rolled to the throwing path side formed by the third wall portion 567. Further, the sixth wall portion 54575 includes a third receiving recess 575a that is recessed downward on the rolling surface of the game ball.

The third path member 54580 includes a first covering member 581 arranged on the back surface of the second path member 54570 on the upper side in the gravity direction (arrow U direction side) and a second path member 570 on the lower side in the gravity direction (arrow).

It mainly includes a second drive unit 54584 arranged on the back surface of the member 582.

The second drive unit 54584 includes a second solenoid 584a having a shaft that is displaced in the front-rear direction by electric power, a second variable plate 54584b connected to the shaft of the second solenoid 584a, a second solenoid 584a, and a second variable plate. It mainly includes a second protective member 54584c that covers the periphery of 54584b.

The second variable plate 54584b has two long first plate members 54584b1 and a second plate member 54584b2 in the left-right direction (arrow LR direction), and the first plate member 54584b1 and the second plate member 54584b2 in the direction of gravity (the second plate member 54584b2). Mainly includes a connecting member 54584b3 connected in the direction of the arrow UD).

The first plate member 54584b1 and the second plate member 54584b2 are plate members whose upper surface serves as a rolling surface of a game ball flowing down inside the first unit 54551, and the first path member 54581 and the second path member 54582 face each other. It is placed in the space formed between them. Further, the shaft of the second solenoid 584a is connected to the back surface side (arrow B direction side) of the second variable plate 54584a, and the first plate member 54584b1 and the second plate member 54584b2 are driven by the driving of the second solenoid 584a. It is switched between a state in which the first path member 54560 and the second path member 54570 are overhanging between the facing surfaces and a state in which the first path member 54560 and the second path member 54570 are retracted from the opposite space (a state in which the second path member 54570 is moved to the back side).

Further, the first plate member 54584b1 and the second plate member 54584b2 are formed at positions aligned in the horizontal direction (arrow LR direction) in the front view. Further, the gap between the first plate member 54584b1 and the second plate member 54584b2 is set to be larger than the diameter of the game ball, and the first plate member 54584b1 is formed above the second plate member 54584b2. To.

Further, the second protective member 584c includes a back side wall portion 584c1 that covers the back side of the throwing path formed by the second wall portion 566 of the first path member 54560. As a result, not only the back side wall portion 584c1 and the second wall portion 566 can form a throwing path, but also the back side wall portion 584c1 and the second wall portion 566 can cover the second path member 54570. As a result, it is possible to prevent the fraudulent member from being inserted from the side surface of the first unit 54551 and fraudulently performed on the detection devices SE3 to SE6 arranged in the second path member 54570.

According to the first unit 54551 formed as described above, as shown in FIG. 233, the first unit 54551 includes a main path SK1 to SK6, an auxiliary path HK1, HK2, HK6, and a curved path WK1. ..

Both ends of the sub-path HK6 are communicated with the communicating portion of the main route SK1 and the main route SK2 and the communicating portion of the main route SK4 and the main route SK5. Therefore, the game ball thrown from the main path SK1 in the 54th embodiment can flow into not only the main path SK2 but also the sub-path HK6.

Further, in the sub-path HK6, the path on the lower end side communicating with the portion where the main path SK4 and the main path SK5 communicate with each other is a gap in the gravity direction between the first plate member 54584b1 and the second plate member 54584b2 of the second variable plate 54584b. It is extended toward the part. Therefore, the game ball passing through the sub-path HK6 can flow into the sub-path HK2 via the communicating portion of the main path SK4 and the main path SK5.

Further, in the 54th embodiment, the sub-path HK2 is formed at two locations, one below the communicating portion of the main route SK3 and the main route SK4 and the other below the communicating portion of the main route SK4 and the main route SK5.

Therefore, in the 54th embodiment, the game ball flowing in from the main path SK1 flows down the main path SK1 to the main path SK6 in order. Alternatively, the main route SK3 in the middle of flowing down the main routes SK1 to SK6 flows into the sub-path HK1 communicating with the main route SK3 and flows down the sub-path HK1. Alternatively, the main route SK4 or the main route SK5 in the middle of flowing down the main route SK1 to the main route SK6 flows into either the sub-route HK2 or the sub-route HK3 communicating with the main route SK4 and the main route SK5, and the sub-route HK2 or Flow down either HK3. Alternatively, it flows from the main path SK1 into the sub-path HK6 and flows into the sub-path HK2 via the main path SK5.

Next, with reference to FIG. 234, the game ball flowing into the sub-path HK6 will be described. FIGS. 234 (a) to 234 (c) are schematic partially enlarged cross-sectional views of the first unit 54551. In addition, in FIGS. 234 (a) to 234 (c), three game balls flowing into the first receiving unit 561 are illustrated with numbers 1 to 3, and the transition state thereof is shown in FIG. 234 (a). Is illustrated in the order of FIG. 234 (c).

As shown in FIGS. 234 (a) to 234 (c), the first receiving unit 561 is set to a left-right direction (arrow LR direction) that can receive at least two or more game balls at the same time. Similarly, the curved portion 581a of the first lining member 581 that sends the game ball of the first receiving portion 561 downward is also set to the lateral dimension that allows the two game balls to flow down at the same time.

On the other hand, the rolling surface (main path SK2) of the game ball of the fourth wall portion 573 thrown from the curved portion 581a has a width in the front-rear direction (arrow FB direction) and a vertical direction in which the game ball for one ball is thrown. (Arrow UD direction) The width is set.

Therefore, when three or more game balls flow into the first receiving portion 561 of the first unit 54551 and the game balls flow from the main path SK1 to the main path SK2, as shown in FIG. 234 (b). In addition, both the first game ball and the second game ball try to flow into the main path SK2, so that the first game ball and the second game ball become the main path SK1. The game ball stagnates at the connecting portion with the main path SK2. As a result, the third game ball can be made to collide with the first game ball or the second game ball, and the second or third game ball can be bounced toward the continuous passage 54572a side.

As a result, as shown in FIG. 234 (c), the trailing game ball (the second or third game ball) can be thrown into the continuous passage 54572a. As a result, it is possible to prevent the game ball thrown later from being clogged at the connecting portion between the main path SK1 and the main path SK2. As a result, it is possible to prevent the player's interest from being lowered because the game ball is clogged at the connecting portion between the main route SK1 and the main route SK2.

Next, a game ball passing through the secondary path HK6 will be described with reference to FIG. 235. 235 (a) and 235 (b) are schematic partially enlarged cross-sectional views of the first unit 54551. In addition, in FIG. 235 (a) and FIG. 235 (b), the game balls passing through the sub-path HK6 are shown in order.

As shown in FIGS. 235 (a) and 235 (b), the lower end of the sub-path HK6 communicates with the connecting portion between the main path SK4 and the main path SK5 above the second plate member 54584b2 of the second variable plate 54584b. At the same time, it extends toward the sixth opening 545571f formed inside the fifth receiving recess 54574c.

Therefore, the game ball flowing out from the sub-path HK6 is sent to the sub-path HK2 inside the fifth receiving recess 54574c. When the rolling speed of the game ball flowing out from the sub-path HK6 is slow, the ball is rolled on the upper surface of the second plate member 54584b2 and sent to the sub-path HK2 inside the fifth receiving recess 54574c.

Further, the throwing distance of the game ball on the sub-path HK6 is set shorter than the throwing distance of the game ball on the main path SK2. As a result, it is possible to prevent the preceding game ball passing through the main path SK2 from colliding with the following game ball passing through the sub-path HK6. Further, when a game ball that flows down the main path SK2 before the preceding game ball that stays in the communication portion of the main path SK1 and the main path SK2 collides with a subsequent game ball that passes through the sub-path HK6. Either one ball can be pushed out to the fifth receiving recess 54574c depending on the throwing direction of the game ball flowing out from the sub-path HK6.

Further, since the detection device SE6 (not shown) is disposed in the sixth opening 54571f inside the fifth receiving recess 54574c through which the sub-path HK2 communicates, the game is played by detecting the game ball of the detection device SE6. A predetermined game value is given to the person. Therefore, the sub-route HK6 is a route that gives the player a predetermined gaming value.

Therefore, the first unit 54551 causes the trailing game ball to flow into the sub-path HK6 when the trailing game ball collides with the preceding game ball stagnant in the communicating portion of the main path SK1 and the main path SK2. , A predetermined game value can be given to the player by the game ball flowing into the sub-path HK6. Therefore, the first unit 54551 can make the case where the game ball stays in the main path SK1 and the main path SK2 in an advantageous state for the player. As a result, it is possible to prevent the player's interest from being lowered due to the stagnation of the game ball on the main route SK1 and the main route SK2.

Next, the first unit 55551 according to the 55th embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. 236. In the first unit 54551 in the 54th embodiment, the case where the game ball thrown from the sub-path HK6 is thrown to the sub-path HK2 has been described, but in the 55th embodiment, the game ball thrown from the sub-path HK6 has been described.

Further, the side wall portion 56612 is erected independently from each of the four pieces of the end portion in the front view, and each side wall portion 56612 erected from the four pieces is not connected. As a result, the rigidity of the fourth path member 56610 (side wall portion 56612) can be reduced as compared with the case where each of the side wall portions 56612 is connected.

Further, the connecting (bending) portion between the side wall portion 56612 and the mounting plate 56611 is formed in an arc shape in cross section. As a result, the rigidity of the fourth path member 56610 (side wall portion 56612) can be reduced as compared with the case where the side wall portion 56612 and the mounting plate 56611 are formed at right angles.

The fifth path member 56620 includes a plate-shaped plate member 621 formed in a substantially rectangular shape in the front view, a central opening 622 opened in the central portion of the plate member 621 in the front view, and a plate member 621 to the sixth path. It mainly includes a portion to be fastened 56627 that protrudes from the member 630 side (back surface side).

The fastened portion 56627 is a portion for screwing the tip of the screw through which the fastening hole 56633 formed in the sixth path member 56630, which will be described later, is inserted, and is formed at a position corresponding to the fastening hole 56633. As a result, the fifth path member 56620 and the sixth path member 56630 are fastened. Further, the protruding dimension of the fastened portion 56627 toward the sixth path member 56630 is set to be larger than the diameter of the game ball. As a result, a gap is formed between the fifth path member 56620 and the sixth path member 56630 so that the game ball can flow down.

The sixth path member 56630 is a second central opening opened in a plate-shaped base plate 631 formed in a substantially rectangular shape in the front view and a base plate 631 at a position facing the central opening 622 of the fifth path member 56620. 634 is provided with an insertion hole 56632 and a fastening hole 56633 formed through the periphery of the second central opening 634 of the base plate 631.

The insertion hole 56632 is a hole through which a screw for fastening the fourth path member 56610 and the sixth path member 56630 is inserted, and is formed coaxially with the hole formed in the path side fastening portion 56618 of the fourth path member 56610. Will be done. Thereby, the screw to be inserted into the insertion hole 56632 can be screwed into the path side fastening portion 56618 to fasten the fourth path member 56610 and the sixth path member 56630.

As described above, the fastening hole 56633 is a hole through which a screw for fastening the fifth path member 56620 and the sixth path member 56630 is inserted, and is formed coaxially with the fastened portion 56627 of the fifth path member 56620. As a result, the screw inserted into the fastening hole 56633 can be screwed into the fastened portion 56627 to fasten the fifth path member 56620 and the sixth path member 56630.

Next, the fastening of the special winning device 56550 will be described with reference to FIG. 238. 238 (a) to 238 (c) are schematic cross-sectional views of the special winning device 56550. Note that FIG. 238 (a) shows a state in which the fourth path member 56610 is arranged on the back side of the first unit 56551, and FIG. 238 (b) shows the first unit 56551 and the fourth path member 56610. The fastened state is shown, and in FIG. 238 (c), the state in which the special winning device 56550 is assembled is shown.

As shown in FIG. 238 (a), in the attachment of the special winning device 56550 to the base plate 56060 in the 56th embodiment, first, the assembled first unit 551 is arranged in front of the base plate 56060. , The fourth path member 56610 of the second unit 56552 is arranged on the back surface side of the base plate 56060. Further, a screw for inserting the second insertion portion 614 from the back surface side of the fourth path member 56610 is screwed into the screw hole 86b4 of the center frame 86.

As a result, the fourth path member 56610 and the center frame 86 are fastened. In this case, as described above, a gap is formed between the columnar body 551a and the insertion portion 617, and the first unit 56551 and the fourth path member 56610 are separated from each other.

Next, as shown in FIG. 238 (b), the insertion portion 617 of the fourth path member 56610 is inserted from the back surface side of the fourth path member 56610, and the screw is screwed into the columnar body 551a. By screwing the screws, a force acts between the first unit 56551 and the fourth path member 56610 in the direction in which they approach each other.

As described above, the rigidity of the fourth path member 56610 is set to be low by the side wall portion 56612. As a result, when a force acts between the first unit 56551 and the fourth path member 56610 in the direction in which they approach each other, only the fourth path member 56610 can be easily elastically deformed.

Therefore, it is possible to prevent the first unit 56551 from being deformed when a pulling force acts on the first unit 56551 toward the back surface side (arrow B direction side). As a result, it is possible to prevent the first unit 56551 from being deformed and the flow path of the game ball formed in the internal space of the first unit 56551 to be distorted, making it difficult for the game ball to pass through the inside of the first unit 56551.

Further, since the outer shape of the mounting plate 56611 of the fourth path member 56610 is set to be larger than the outer shape of the first unit 56551 in the front view, the first unit is from the connecting portion between the first unit 56511 and the fourth path member 56610. From the distance Y12 (see FIG. 238 (c)) between the unit 56551 and the base plate 56060 and the contact portion, from the connecting portion between the first unit 56511 and the fourth path member 56610, the fourth path member 56610 and the base plate 56060 The distance Y13 to the contact portion with is set to be larger.

As a result, when a force in the direction of approaching each other acts between the first unit 56551 and the fourth path member 56610, the force can be more easily concentrated on the fourth path member 56610 than the first unit 56551. As a result, only the fourth path member 56610 can be easily elastically deformed.

In addition, in order to elastically deform only the fourth path member 56610, even if the total plate thickness of the fourth path member 56610 is set smaller than the plate thickness of the third path member 580 forming the back surface of the first unit 56551. Good.

Finally, as shown in FIG. 238 (c), the fifth path member 56620 and the sixth path member 56630 in a state of being assembled on the back side of the fourth path member 56610 are arranged on the back side of the fourth path member 56610. By screwing a screw that has passed through the insertion hole 56632 from the back side of the sixth path member 56630 into the path side fastening portion 56618, the first unit 56551 and the second unit 56552 are integrally assembled, and the first of them is assembled. The unit 56551 and the second unit 56552 can be arranged on the base plate 56060.

Further, as shown in FIG. 238 (c), the fastening portions of the first unit 56551, the second unit 56552, and the center frame 86 are in the vertical direction (arrow UD direction) and left and right in the front view of the special winning device 56550. From the center position in the direction (arrow LR direction) (center in the vertical direction in FIG. 238 (c)) to the outside, first, the fourth path member 56610 and (integrated with the fifth path member 56620). A fastening portion with the sixth path member 56630 is formed, a fastening portion between the fourth path member 56610 and the center frame 86 is formed second, and finally a fastening portion between the first unit 56551 and the fourth path member 56610 is formed. It is formed.

Therefore, between the fastening portion between the first unit 56551 and the fourth path member 56610 and the fastening portion between the fourth path member 56610 and the sixth path member 56630, the fourth path member 56610 and the center frame 86 are inserted. A fastening portion is formed.

As a result, when the first unit 56551 and the fourth path member 56610 are fastened, the elastic deformation of the fourth path member 56610 is caused by the fastening portion between the fourth path member 56610 and the center frame 86, and the fourth path member It can be made less likely to occur at the fastening portion between the 56610 and the sixth path member 56630. As a result, it is possible to prevent the joint portion between the fourth path member 56610 and the sixth path member 56630 from being damaged due to the elastic deformation of the fourth path member 56610.

Further, FIGS. 240 (a) and 241 (a) show the retracted state of the lower displacement unit 57400, and FIGS. 240 (b) and 241 (b) show the first overhanging state of the lower displacement unit 57400. Illustrated, in FIGS. 240 (c) and 241 (c), the second overhang state of the lower displacement unit 57400 is illustrated.

As shown in FIGS. 240 to 242, the outer peripheral surface of the cam member 57422 is provided with a plurality of contact portions 57422d (three locations in the present embodiment) that are partially projected outward. The contact portion 57422d is a portion that comes into contact with the side surface of the plate-shaped protrusion 57431b of the first link member 57431, and the contact prevents the first link member 57431 and the cam member from swinging.

Further, the plurality of contact portions 57422d are formed so as to come into contact with the first link member 57431 when the lower displacement unit 57400 is in the retracted state, the first overhanging state, and the second overhanging state, respectively. As described above, at the retracted position, the first overhanging position, and the second overhanging position, the ball receiving portion 467 arranged inside the lower displacement member 440 (see FIG. 239) is displaced, and the ball receiving portion is displaced. The game ball received inside the 467 can be discharged to the outside of the lower displacement unit 57400.

Therefore, in the retracted state, the first overhanging state, and the second overhanging state, the position of the center of gravity of the lower displacement member 440 is changed according to the displacement of the ball receiving portion 467. The force acting on the first link member 57431 from the displacement member 440 is changed. Therefore, the first link member 57431 is likely to swing with respect to the base member 410.

On the other hand, in the present embodiment, the contact portion 57422d is brought into contact with the plate-shaped protrusion 57431b of the first link member 57431 in the retracted state, the first overhanging state, and the second overhanging state, and the first link member 574311 is brought into contact with the plate-shaped protrusion 57431b. Since it is possible to suppress the swinging of the lower displacement member 440, the lower displacement member 440 swings when the game ball received by the ball receiving portion 467 is discharged to the outside of the lower displacement member 440, and the game ball discharged from the ball receiving portion 467 is discharged. It is possible to prevent the position from becoming unstable.

Further, the plurality of contact portions 57422d have a small width in the axial direction (arrow FB direction) of the shaft portion 422a so that the protruding tip surface on the radial outer side of the shaft portion 422a of the cam member 57422 is radially outward.

As a result, when the lower displacement unit 57400 is in the retracted state, the first overhanging state, and the second overhanging state, and the ball receiving portion 467 is displaced to launch (discharge) the game ball, the first link member 57431 Can be suppressed from swinging in the front-back direction. As a result, when the game ball received by the ball receiving portion 467 is discharged to the outside of the lower displacement member 440, the lower displacement member 440 sways, and the discharging position of the game ball discharged from the ball receiving portion 467 becomes unstable. It can be suppressed.

Further, when the lower displacement unit 57400 is in a state other than the retracted state, the first overhanging state, and the second overhanging state, the contact portion 57422d can be separated from the plate-shaped protrusion 57431b. Therefore, when the lower displacement member 440 is displaced, it is possible to prevent the first link member 57431 from coming into contact with the plate-shaped projection 57431b and increasing the sliding resistance when the lower displacement member 440 is displaced. As a result, it is possible to suppress an increase in electric power when the lower displacement member 440 is displaced.

In addition, in FIGS. 243 (a) to 243 (c), the curved wall portion 411f of the base member 410 is shown, and the outer shape of the cam member 58422 and the sliding groove 422c3 overlapping the front side of the first link member 57431 are shown. , The plate-shaped protrusion 57431b of the first link member 57431 is shown by a broken line. Further, in FIGS. 243 (a) to 243 (c), the outer shape of the curved wall portion 411f of the base member 410 is shown by a chain line, and the first link member 57431 that overlaps the back side of the cam member 57422 is shown by a chain line. Will be done.

As shown in FIGS. 243 and 244, the cam member 58422 according to the 58th embodiment is formed in a shape in which one ends of two semicircles having different outer diameters in the front view are combined and formed in the front-rear direction. It is formed from a plate state having a predetermined thickness. Further, the cam member 58422 includes a tooth surface 422b engraved on the outer peripheral surface of a semicircular portion having a small outer diameter, a shaft portion 422a formed through the center of the semicircular portion having a small outer diameter, and a link member described later. It includes a sliding groove 422c recessed along the outer peripheral edge of the surface (back surface) facing the 57430, and a contact portion 58422d projecting from the outer peripheral surface.

The contact portion 58422d is formed in a shape along the displacement locus of the plate-shaped protrusion 57431b of the first link member 57431, and the protruding surface of the contact portion 58422d as the cam member 58422 is rotated around the shaft portion 422a. Is abutted against the side surface of the plate-shaped protrusion 57431b.

Further, as for the protruding tip surface of the contact portion 58422d, similarly to the contact portion 57422d in the 57th embodiment, the protruding tip surface on the radial outer side from the shaft portion 422a of the cam member 58422 is axially outward. The width of the portion 422a in the axial direction (arrow FB direction) is reduced, and the cross section thereof is formed in a triangular shape.

According to the lower displacement unit 58400 configured as described above, the contact portion 58422d is always the first regardless of the displacement state (retracted state, first overhanging state, second overhanging state) of the lower displacement unit 58400. Since the first link member 57431 can be suppressed from swinging by being brought into contact with the plate-shaped protrusion 57431b of the link member 57431, it is possible to suppress the swinging of the lower displacement member 440 when the lower displacement member 440 is displaced.

As a result, when the ball receiving portion 467 of the lower displacement member 440 is displaced to launch (discharge) the game ball, it is possible to suppress the first link member 57431 from swinging in the front-rear direction. As a result, when the game ball received by the ball receiving portion 467 is discharged to the outside of the lower displacement member 440, the lower displacement member 440 sways, and the discharging position of the game ball discharged from the ball receiving portion 467 becomes unstable. It can be suppressed.

Further, even when the game ball is received by the lower displacement member 440 or the position of the center of gravity of the lower displacement member 440 changes depending on the receiving position of the received game ball, the lower displacement member 440 is likely to swing during displacement. It can be suppressed. As a result, the displacement operation of the lower displacement member 440 can be stabilized, so that the player can easily see the displacement operation of the lower displacement member 440.

It should be noted that the plurality of LEDs are configured so that the emission colors (for example, red, green, blue) of the respective LEDs are different, and the combination of the emission colors can suggest various gaming states of the pachinko machine 10 with a small number of LEDs. it can.

In the pachinko machine 10, a lottery is performed when the first winning opening 64 and the second winning opening 640 have won a prize. In the lottery, the pachinko machine 10 determines whether or not it is a big hit (big hit lottery), and if it is determined to be a big hit, it also determines the type of the big hit. As the jackpot type determined here, 15R probability variation jackpot, 4R probability variation jackpot, and 15R normal jackpot are prepared. The first symbol display devices 37A and 37B not only indicate whether or not the result of the lottery is a big hit as a stop symbol after the end of the fluctuation, and if it is a big hit, a symbol corresponding to the jackpot type is shown. ..

Here, the "15R probability variation jackpot" is a probability variation jackpot in which the maximum number of rounds shifts to a high probability state after the jackpot of 15 rounds, and the "4R probability variation jackpot" is a jackpot with a maximum number of rounds of 4 rounds. It is a probabilistic jackpot that shifts to a high probability state after. Further, "15R normal jackpot" is a jackpot in which the maximum number of rounds is 15 rounds, and then the jackpot shifts to a low probability state, and the time is shortened during a predetermined number of fluctuations (for example, 100 fluctuations). is there.

In addition, the "high probability state" refers to a state in which the subsequent jackpot probability increases as an added value after the end of the jackpot, that is, during so-called probability fluctuation (probability change), in other words, a game in which it is easy to shift to a special gaming state. It is the state of. The high-probability state (during probabilistic change) in the present embodiment includes a game state in which the winning probability of the second symbol, which will be described later, is increased and the ball is likely to win the second winning opening 640. The "low probability state" refers to a state in which the probability change is not in progress, and a state in which the jackpot probability is normal, that is, a state in which the jackpot probability is lower than that in the probability change state. In addition, in the "low probability state", the time saving state (time saving medium) is a state in which the jackpot probability is a normal state, and the jackpot probability remains the same and only the hit probability of the second symbol is increased to increase the second winning opening 640. It refers to the state of the game in which the ball is easy to win. On the other hand, when the pachinko machine 10 is in the normal state, it is a state of the game in which neither the probability change nor the time reduction is performed (the jackpot probability and the hit probability of the second symbol are not increased).

During the probability change and the time reduction, not only the probability of hitting the second symbol increases, but also the time when the electric accessory 640a attached to the second winning opening 640 is opened is changed, which is a longer time than during normal times. Set. When the electric accessory 640a is in the open state (open state), the ball wins the second winning opening 640 as compared with the case where the electric accessory 640a is in the closed state (closed state). It will be easy. Therefore, during the probability change or the time reduction, it becomes easy for the ball to win the second winning opening 640, and the number of times the big hit lottery is performed can be increased.

In addition, during the probability change or the time reduction, the opening time of the electric accessory 640a attached to the second winning opening 640 is not changed, or in addition to changing the opening time, electric power is applied at one time. The change may be made so that the number of times that the accessory 640a is opened is increased from the normal time. Further, during the probability change or the time reduction, the hit probability of the second symbol is not changed, and the electric accessory 640a is opened at the time when the electric accessory 640a attached to the second winning opening 640 is opened and at one hit. At least one of the times may be changed. In addition, during the probability change or the time reduction, the time for opening the electric accessory 640a attached to the second winning opening 640 and the number of times for opening the electric accessory 640a at one time are not performed, and the second symbol is hit. Only the probability may be changed so as to be higher than the normal one.

In the game area, a plurality of general winning openings 63 are arranged in which 5 to 15 balls are paid out as prize balls when the balls are won. Further, a variable display device unit 80 is arranged in the central portion of the game area. The variable display device unit 80 is triggered by winning a prize (starting prize) in the first winning opening 64 and the second winning opening 640, and is synchronized with the variable display in the first symbol display devices 37A and 37B, and has a third symbol. It is composed of a third symbol display device 81 composed of a liquid crystal display (hereinafter simply abbreviated as "display device") that performs variable display, and an LED that variablely displays the second symbol triggered by the passage of a sphere of a through gate 67. A second symbol display device (not shown) is provided.

Further, in the variable display device unit 80, a center frame 86 is arranged so as to surround the outer periphery of the third symbol display device 81. The third symbol display device 81 can be visually recognized from the opening opened in the center of the center frame 86.

The third symbol display device 81 is composed of a large 9-inch size liquid crystal display, and by controlling the display contents by the display control device 114 (see FIG. 253), for example, the upper, middle, and lower 3 Two symbol columns are displayed. Each symbol row is composed of a plurality of symbols (third symbol), and these third symbols are horizontally scrolled for each symbol row, and the third symbol is variably displayed on the display screen of the third symbol display device 81. It has become like. In the third symbol display device 81 of the present embodiment, the game state is displayed by the control of the main control device 110 (see FIG. 253), whereas the first symbol display devices 37A and 37B display the game state. A decorative display is performed according to the display of the symbol display devices 37A and 37B. In addition, instead of the display device, for example, a reel or the like may be used to configure the third symbol display device 81.

The second symbol display device alternately lights the “○” symbol and the “×” symbol as the display symbol (second symbol (not shown)) each time the sphere passes through the through gate 67 for a predetermined time. It is a variable display. When the pachinko machine 10 detects that the ball has passed through the through gate 67, a winning lottery is performed. As a result of the winning lottery, if it is a winning, the symbol "○" is stopped and displayed on the second symbol display device after the variation display of the second symbol. Further, if the result of the winning lottery is a failure, the symbol "x" is stopped and displayed on the second symbol display device after the variation display of the third symbol.

In the pachinko machine 10, when the variation display in the second symbol display device is stopped at a predetermined symbol (in the present embodiment, the symbol “○”), the electric accessory 640a attached to the second winning opening 640 is used for a predetermined time. It is configured to be activated (opened) only.

The time required for the variation display of the second symbol is set to be shorter during the probability change or the time reduction than when the game state is normal. As a result, during the probability change and the time reduction, the variation display of the second symbol is performed in a short time, so that the winning lottery can be performed more than during the normal time. Therefore, since the chances of winning in the winning lottery increase, it is possible to give the player many opportunities to open the electric accessory 640a of the second winning opening 640. Therefore, it is possible to make it easy for the ball to win the second winning opening 640 during the probability change and the time saving.

In addition, during the probability change or the time reduction, the second winning opening 640 can be reached during the probability change or the time reduction by other methods such as increasing the opening time and the number of times of opening the electric accessory 640a per hit. When the ball is in a state where it is easy to win a prize, the time required for the variable display of the second symbol may be constant regardless of the gaming state. On the other hand, when the time required for the variation display of the second symbol is set to be shorter than the normal time during the probability change or the time reduction, the hit probability may be constant regardless of the gaming state, or one hit. The opening time and the number of times of opening the electric accessory 640a may be constant regardless of the gaming state.

The through gate 67 is assembled to the game board on the right side in the area below the variable display device unit 80, and among the balls fired on the game board, a part of the balls flowing down to the right side of the game board can pass through. It is configured in. When the ball passes through the through gate 67, a winning lottery for the second symbol is performed. After the winning lottery, variable display is performed on the second symbol display device, and if the winning lottery result is a winning symbol, a symbol "○" is displayed as a stop symbol of the variable display, and if the winning lottery result is incorrect. For example, a symbol of "x" is displayed as a stop symbol of the variable display.

The number of times the ball has passed through the through gate 67 is held up to a total of four times, and the number of held balls is displayed by the above-mentioned first symbol display devices 37A and 37B and on the second symbol holding lamp (not shown). Is also lit and displayed. Four second symbol holding lamps are provided for the maximum number of holding lamps, and are symmetrically arranged below the third symbol display device 81.

The variation display of the second symbol is performed by switching the lighting and non-lighting of a plurality of lamps in the second symbol display device as in the present embodiment, as well as the first symbol display devices 37A, 37B and the third. It may be performed by using a part of the symbol display device 81. Similarly, the second symbol holding lamp may be turned on by a part of the third symbol display device 81. Further, the maximum number of reserved balls for the passage of the balls of the through gate 67 is not limited to 4, but may be set to 3 times or less, or 5 times or more (for example, 8 times). Further, the number of through gates 67 assembled is not limited to one, and may be a plurality (for example, two). Further, the assembly position of the through gate 67 is not limited to the right side of the variable display device unit 80, and may be, for example, the left side of the variable display device unit 80. Further, since the number of reserved balls is indicated by the first symbol display devices 37A and 37B, the lighting display may not be performed by the second symbol holding lamp.

Below the variable display device unit 80, a first winning opening 64 in which a ball can win a prize is arranged. When the ball wins the first winning opening 64, the first winning opening switch (not shown) provided on the back surface side of the game board 13 is turned on, and the main control device 110 is caused by the turning on of the first winning opening switch. (See FIG. 253), a big hit lottery is made, and the display according to the lottery result is shown by the first symbol display device 37A.

On the other hand, on the right side of the front view of the first winning opening 64, a second winning opening 640 in which the ball can win is arranged. When the ball wins the second winning opening 640, the second winning opening switch (not shown) provided on the back side of the game board 13 is turned on, and the main control device 110 is caused by the turning on of the second winning opening switch. (See FIG. 253), a big hit lottery is made, and the display according to the lottery result is shown by the first symbol display device 37B.

In addition, the first winning opening 64 and the second winning opening 640 are also one of the winning openings in which five balls are paid out as prize balls when the balls are won. In the present embodiment, the number of prize balls paid out when a ball wins in the first winning opening 64 and the number of prize balls paid out when a ball wins in the second winning opening 640 are configured to be the same. , The number of prize balls paid out when a ball wins in the first winning opening 64 and the number of prize balls paid out when a ball wins in the second winning opening 640, for example, a ball to the first winning opening 64 The number of prize balls to be paid out when a prize is won may be three, and the number of prize balls to be paid out when a ball is won to the second winning opening 640 may be configured to be five.

An electric accessory 640a is attached to the second winning opening 640. The electric accessory 640a is configured to be openable and closable, and normally the electric accessory 640a is in a closed state (reduced state), making it difficult for the ball to win a prize in the second winning opening 640. On the other hand, when the symbol "○" is displayed on the second symbol display device as a result of the variation display of the second symbol performed when the ball passes through the through gate 67, the electric accessory 640a is in the open state (enlarged). State), and the ball is in a state where it is easy to win a prize in the second winning opening 640.

As described above, during the probability change and the time reduction, the probability of hitting the second symbol is higher than during the normal time, and the time required for the variation display of the second symbol is short. ”Is easy to display, and the number of times that the electric accessory 640a is in the open state (retracted state) increases. Further, during the probability change and the time reduction, the time during which the electric accessory 640a is released is also longer than during the normal operation. Therefore, during the probability change and the time reduction, it is possible to create a state in which the ball can easily win the second winning opening 640 as compared with the normal time.

Here, the probability of winning a jackpot is the same in both the low probability state and the high probability state when the ball wins in the first winning opening 64 and when the ball wins in the second winning opening 640. However, the probability of becoming a 15R probability variation jackpot as the type of jackpot selected in the case of a jackpot is higher when the ball wins the second winning opening 640 than when the ball wins the first winning opening 64. It is set. On the other hand, the first winning opening 64 does not have an electric accessory as in the second winning opening 640, and the ball is in a state where it can always win a prize.

Therefore, in normal times, the electric accessory attached to the second winning opening 640 is often in a closed state, and it is difficult to win the second winning opening 640. Then, the ball is fired so that the ball passes to the left side of the variable display device unit 80 (so-called "left-handed"), and by winning the first winning opening 64, many chances of a big hit lottery are obtained and the big hit is obtained. It is advantageous for the player to aim at that.

On the other hand, during the probability change or the time reduction, by passing the ball through the through gate 67, the electric accessory 640a attached to the second winning opening 640 is likely to be opened, and the second winning opening 640 is likely to be won. Therefore, the ball is launched toward the second winning opening 640 so that the ball passes to the right of the variable display device 80 (so-called "right-handed"), and the electric accessory is opened by passing through the through gate 67. At the same time, it is advantageous for the player to aim for a 15R probability variation jackpot by winning the second winning opening 640.

As described above, the pachinko machine 10 of the present embodiment fires a ball at the player according to the gaming state of the pachinko machine 10 (whether it is in the probabilistic change, in the time saving, or in the normal state). You can change the method of "left-handed" and "right-handed". Therefore, it is possible to change the way the ball is hit by the player, so that the game can be enjoyed.

A variable winning device 65 is arranged on the right side of the first winning opening 64, and a horizontally long rectangular specific winning opening (large opening opening) 65a is provided in a substantially central portion thereof. In the pachinko machine 10, when the jackpot lottery performed due to winning the first winning slot 64 or the second winning slot 640 becomes a jackpot, after a predetermined time (variable time) has elapsed, the jackpot stop symbol is displayed. The first symbol display device 37A or the first symbol display device 37B is turned on so that the stop symbol corresponding to the jackpot is displayed on the third symbol display device 81 to indicate the occurrence of the jackpot. After that, the gaming state transitions to a special gaming state (big hit) where the ball is easy to win. As this special game state, the specific winning opening 65a, which is normally closed, is opened for a predetermined time (for example, until 30 seconds have passed or until 10 balls are won).

The specific winning opening 65a is closed after a lapse of a predetermined time, and after the closing, the specific winning opening 65a is opened again for a predetermined time. The opening / closing operation of the specific winning opening 65a can be repeated up to 15 times (15 rounds), for example. The state in which this opening / closing operation is performed is a form of a special gaming state that is advantageous for the player, and the player is given a larger amount of prize balls than usual as a game value (game value). Is done.

Specifically, the variable winning device 65 includes a horizontally long rectangular opening / closing plate that covers the specific winning opening 65a, and a large opening solenoid (not shown) for driving the opening / closing forward with the lower side of the opening / closing plate as an axis. And have. The specific winning opening 65a is normally closed so that the ball cannot win or is difficult to win. In the case of a big hit, the large opening solenoid is driven to tilt the opening / closing plate downward on the front surface to temporarily form an open state in which the ball can easily win a prize in the specific winning opening 65a. It operates so as to alternate between the state and the state.

A second variable winning device 82a is arranged on the upper left of the first winning opening 64, and a second specific winning opening 82 is provided in the vicinity thereof. Normally, the second variable winning device 82a is in a closed state (reduced state) so that the ball cannot win a prize in the second specific winning opening 82. On the other hand, when the second variable winning device is opened (expanded) at the time of a specific jackpot (for example, 15R probability variation jackpot), the ball is put into a special gaming state in which it is easy to win the second specific winning opening 82. Can be done.

The special gaming state is not limited to the above-described form. A large opening that opens and closes separately from the specific winning opening 65a is provided in the game area, and when the LED corresponding to the big hit is turned on in the first symbol display devices 37A and 37B, the specific winning opening 65a is opened for a predetermined time.

Next, the winning opening unit 300 in which the first winning opening 64 is formed will be described in detail with reference to FIGS. 254 to 257.

First, the configuration of the winning opening unit 300 will be described with reference to FIGS. 254 to 257. FIG. 254 is an exploded perspective front view of the game board 13. FIG. 255 (a) is a front view of the winning opening unit 300, and FIG. 255 (b) is a rear view of the winning opening unit 300. FIG. 256 (a) is a side view of the winning opening unit 300, and FIG. 256 (b) is a cross-sectional view of the winning opening unit 300 in the CCLVIb-CCLVIb line of FIG. 255 (a). FIG. 257 (a) is a perspective front view of the winning opening unit 300, and FIG. 257 (b) is a perspective rear view of the winning opening unit 300. Note that FIG. 254 shows a state in which the center frame 86 and the winning opening unit 300 are removed from the game board 13. Further, in FIGS. 255 (b) and 256 (a), a virtual line S1 is shown along the extending direction of the bent portion of the upper end portion of the passage forming member 330 formed in a substantially D-shaped cross section.

As shown in FIG. 254, a through hole 60a penetrating in the thickness direction is formed in the base plate 60 slightly below the central opening to which the center frame 86 is attached (lower side in FIG. 251) by router processing. In the winning opening unit 300, the passage forming member 330, which will be described later, is inserted into the through hole 60a and is fixed from the front side of the game board 13 by a tapping screw or the like.

Next, as shown in FIGS. 255 to 257, the winning opening unit 300 projects toward the base member 310 formed in a plate-like body and the front side of the base member 310 (the front side of the paper surface in FIG. 255 (a)). The ball winning portion 320 and the passage forming member 330 projecting to the back surface side of the base plate 60 are mainly provided, and the base member 310, the ball winning portion 320, and the passage forming member 330 are integrally formed of a resin material.

The base member 310 is formed in a plate shape larger than the through hole 60a and is arranged in parallel with the base plate 60 (see FIG. 254). Further, the base member 310 is formed at an opening 311 penetrating from the front side (right side in FIG. 256 (a)) to the back side (left side in FIG. 256 (a)) and above the opening 311 (above FIG. 251). Two recessed portions 312 (see FIG. 256B) that are located and recessed from the front side to the back side, and a plurality of through holes 313 that are formed through the peripheral edge of the base member 310, and a circle. It is mainly provided with a protrusion 314 which is formed in a columnar shape and is formed so as to protrude on the back surface side.

The opening 311 is a hole that enables the game ball thrown inside the ball winning part 320 (first winning opening 64), which will be described later, to be thrown to the back side, and is formed in a size larger than the diameter of the game ball. ..

The recessed portion 312 is a pilot hole for driving the game nail YK, which will be described later, into the base plate 60, and is recessed on an extension line for driving the game nail YK. Further, the recessed portion 312 is formed in a circular shape in the direction of driving the game nail YK, and the inner diameter thereof is formed to be slightly smaller than the outer shape of the game nail. As a result, when the game nail YK is driven into the recessed portion 312, the contact resistance between the game nail YK and the recessed portion 312 can be reduced, and the game nail YK can be held on the inner surface of the recessed portion 312.

The game nail YK is tilted upward (upward in FIG. 256A) by 5 degrees and driven into the base member 310 (winning opening unit 300). Therefore, the recessed portion 312 is recessed so as to be inclined downward by 5 degrees from the front surface side to the back surface side.

Two game nails YK are arranged on the base member 310, and the head side of the nails is in a state of protruding into the game area. The two game nails YK are respectively arranged above the upper end portion of the side wall 321 of the ball winning portion 320, which will be described later, and the two nails are set to the same height. Thereby, the distance between the two game nails YK can be adjusted to adjust the number of balls flowing into the first winning opening 64 with respect to the number of game balls flowing down the game area.

The through holes 313 are through holes through which screws for fastening and fixing the winning opening unit 300 to the base plate 60 are inserted, and four through holes are formed in the peripheral portion of the base member 310. Further, the through hole 313 is formed by expanding the diameter on the front surface side. As a result, when the tip end side (screw portion side) of the countersunk screw is inserted from the front side of the through hole 313 and screwed into the base plate 60, it is possible to prevent the head of the countersunk screw from protruding to the front side. Therefore, when the game ball flows down the game area, it is possible to prevent the flow of the game ball from being obstructed by the countersunk screw. As a result, it is possible to stabilize the flow of the game ball flowing down the game area.

The protrusions 314 are protrusions for positioning the base plate 60 and the winning opening unit 300, and are formed on the left and right sides of the opening 311. Further, a recess 60b (see FIG. 254) is formed by being recessed in the base plate 60 at a position facing the protrusion 314. The recess 60b is formed by being recessed in a circular shape having an inner diameter substantially the same as the outer shape of the protrusion 314. As a result, when the winning opening unit 300 before being fastened to the base plate 60 is arranged in the base plate 60, the protrusion 314 is inserted inside the recess 60b, so that the winning opening unit 300 is inserted into the base plate 60. Can be positioned.

The ball winning portion 320 is formed of a side wall 321 protruding from the periphery of the opening 311 to the front side (right side in FIG. 256A) and a front wall 322 connecting the protruding tip side of the side wall 321 with the side wall 321. The first winning opening 64 is formed in the area surrounded by the front wall 322.

The side wall 321 is formed in a U-shaped cross section with an open upper portion, and the distance between the opposing inner walls is formed to be larger than the diameter of the game ball. The front wall 322 is formed so as to close the protruding tip of the side wall 321. Therefore, the first winning opening 64 is formed so as to be open upward.

The side wall 321 is formed with a rolling portion 323 that is erected upward on the bottom surface (the lower surface in FIG. 256 (b)). The rolling portion 323 is formed with a constant plate thickness from the end portion on the back surface side (left side in FIG. 256B) of the passage forming member 330, which will be described later, to the front wall 322.

Further, the rolling portion 323 is formed so as to be inclined upward toward the front surface side (front wall 322 side), and is formed at an intermediate position between the opposite side walls 321. As a result, the game ball that has flowed into the first winning opening 64 is thrown to the upper surface of the rolling portion 323, is rolled by the inclination of the rolling portion 323, and is thrown to the back side.

The passage forming member 330 is formed so as to project from the periphery of the opening 311 of the base member 310 toward the back surface side. The passage forming member 330 is formed in a substantially D shape in which the lower side is curved in the rear view, and a space having a size capable of inserting a game ball is formed inside. As a result, the game ball that has flowed into the first winning opening 64 can be thrown to the back side of the passage forming member 330 and to a passage member (not shown) that communicates with the back side of the passage forming member 330.

Further, in the passage forming member 330, the two bent portions (the portions shown by the virtual line S1 (see FIGS. 255 (b) and 256 (a))) located above (above FIG. 255) in the rear view are concave. It is located on the back side of the center position of the recessed base end side of the setting portion 312. Further, bulging portions 331 that bulge outward in the radial direction about the virtual line S1 are formed at the two bent portions of the passage forming member 330. Thereby, the rigidity around the recessed portion 312 can be increased. As a result, it is possible to prevent the winning opening unit 300 from being damaged by the impact when the game nail YK is driven into the recessed portion 312.

Further, as described above, the game nail YK is arranged in a direction orthogonal to the plane of the base member 310 and non-parallel (a direction in which the game nail YK is inclined downward toward the tip end side driven into the base member 310). Therefore, the tip portion is positioned below the virtual line S1. As a result, the thickness of the bulging portion 331 located at the upper portion on the tip end side of the game nail YK is increased. Therefore, it is possible to make it difficult for the tip end side of the game nail YK to be displaced upward.

Here, since the winning opening unit 300 is arranged in the middle of the game ball flowing down from above, the game ball flowing down to the upper side of the game nail YK protruding toward the game area side is likely to collide. Therefore, due to the impact of the game ball colliding with the upper part of the game nail YK, a force that displaces upward is likely to act on the tip portion of the game nail YK. Therefore, it is necessary to form the back surface side of the winning opening unit 300 for planting the game nail YK thickly, which causes a problem that the manufacturing cost of the winning opening unit 300 increases.

On the other hand, in the present embodiment, the virtual line S1 (the bent portion at the upper end of the passage forming member 330) is arranged on the back side of the position where the game nail YK is driven, and bulges around the axis of the virtual line S1. Since the portion 331 is formed, it is not necessary to make the bulging portion 331 larger than necessary. As a result, it is possible to suppress an increase in the manufacturing cost of the winning opening unit 300.

Further, the passage forming member 330 is located below (downward in FIG. 255) (curved portion of the D-shape in rear view), and includes a guide portion 333 for guiding the rolling of the game ball that has won the first winning opening 64. The guide portion 333 and the bulging portion 331 are connected by the first connecting portion 334.

As a result, the rigidity of the bulging portion 331 in the vertical direction can be increased. Therefore, when a game ball flowing down the game area collides with the upper part of the game nail YK protruding toward the game area side, it is possible to prevent the game nail YK from being displaced in the vertical direction.

Further, the passage forming member 330 is formed to include a second connecting portion 335 that connects between the two bulging portions 331. As a result, the rigidity of the bulging portion 331 in the direction in which the two bulging portions 331 are connected (the left-right direction in FIG. 255 (b)) can be increased.

As described above, the winning opening unit 300 is arranged below the central opening of the base plate 60 to which the center frame 86 is attached. Therefore, when the game ball flowing down around the center frame 86 flows into the first winning opening 64, the game ball is thrown from both the left and right sides (left and right in FIG. 251) of the base plate 60 (game board 13). Therefore, when the game ball collides with the game nail YK, a force that displaces the game nail YK to the left or right is likely to act.

Further, the game nail YK needs to change the gap between the two when adjusting the amount of the game ball flowing into the first winning opening 64, and at that time, the game nail YK is bent in the left-right direction. Therefore, from this point as well, a force in the left-right direction is likely to act on the game nail YK.

In the present embodiment, since the two bulging portions 331 are connected by the second connecting portion 335, when the game balls flowing down from the left and right sides of the base plate 60 collide with the game nails protruding into the game area. When adjusting the distance between the two game nails YK, it is possible to prevent the game nail YK from being displaced in the left-right direction (FIG. 255 (b) left-right direction) due to the impact.

As described above, the winning opening unit 300 configured as described above is arranged by driving the game nail YK arranged above the first winning opening 64 into the base member 310. Therefore, when the game nail YK is broken or the game nail YK is pulled out from the base member 310 and normal game play is impossible, the countersunk screw inserted into the through hole 313 of the base member 310 is removed. By removing the winning opening unit 300 from the base plate 60 and attaching the winning opening unit 300 in a normal state to the base plate 60, normal gaming can be performed.

That is, the game nail YK, which is located above the first winning opening 64 and adjusts the number of game balls flowing into the first winning opening 64, is likely to break or fall out due to the adjustment. In this case, if only the game nail YK is replaced, the new game nail YK is driven into the same pilot hole (concave portion 312), so that the force for holding the game nail YK is insufficient and the new game nail YK falls off immediately. There is a fear.

On the other hand, in the present embodiment, when the game nail YK breaks or falls off, the base member 310 on which the pilot hole (recessed portion 312) is formed can be replaced, so that the replaced game nail YK can be replaced. Can be prevented from falling off immediately.

Next, the 61st embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 258 to 264. In the 60th embodiment, the case where the winning opening unit 300 is formed from one member has been described, but in the 61st embodiment, the winning opening unit 2300 is formed from two members. The same parts as those of the above-described embodiments are designated by the same reference numerals, and the description thereof will be omitted.

First, the arrangement position of the winning opening unit 2300 in the 61st embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 258 and 259. FIG. 258 is a front view of the pachinko machine 10 according to the 61st embodiment. FIG. 259 is an exploded perspective front view of the pachinko machine 10. In addition, in FIG. 258 and FIG. 259, a part of the game nails arranged on the base plate 60 is shown. Further, in FIG. 259, a state in which the center frame 86 and the winning opening unit 2300 are removed from the base plate 60 is shown.

As shown in FIGS. 258 and 259, the base plate 60 according to the 61st embodiment is penetrated by a recessed portion 2060c that is continuous with the lower side (FIG. 258 side) of the central opening of the base plate 60 to which the center frame 86 is attached. It is formed. A part of the winning opening unit 2300 is inserted inside the recessed portion 2060c, and is fixed from the front side (front side of the paper surface of FIG. 258) of the base plate 60 by a tapping screw or the like.

A recessed portion 2360d that is recessed from the front side to the back surface side of the base plate 60 is formed around the central opening side of the recessed portion 2060c. The outer shape of the recessed portion 2360d in front view is formed to be substantially the same as the outer shape of the second winning member 2500, which will be described later. As a result, the second winning member 2500 can be arranged inside the recessed portion 2360d.

Further, the recessed portion 2360d is formed in an annular shape, and a plurality of annular projections 2060d1 projecting to the front side are formed. The annular protrusion 2060d1 is formed so that a screw through which the second winning member 2500 is inserted can be fastened to the inner edge portion thereof. In the present embodiment, the annular protrusions 2060d1 are formed at four positions in the recessed portion 2360d.

Next, the configuration of the winning opening unit 2300 will be described with reference to FIGS. 260 to 262. 260 (a) is a front view of the winning opening unit 2300, and FIG. 260 (b) is a cross-sectional view of the winning opening unit 2300 in the CCLXb-CCLXb line of FIG. 260 (a). Is a cross-sectional view of the winning opening unit 2300 in the CCLXc-CCLXc line of FIG. 260 (a). FIG. 261 is an exploded perspective front view of the winning opening unit 2300, and FIG. 262 is an exploded perspective rear view of the winning opening unit 2300. In FIG. 260 (c), the illustration of the second winning member 2500 is omitted.

As shown in FIGS. 260 to 262, the winning opening unit 2300 is arranged on the front side of the base plate 60, and the first winning member 2400 into which the game nail YK is driven and the front side of the first winning member 2400. It is mainly provided with a second winning member 2500 having a first winning opening 64 as well as being arranged in the above.

The first winning member 2400 is formed of a main body portion 2410 formed of a plate-like body having a substantially rectangular front view, and a bulging portion 2420 protruding from the back surface side of the main body portion 2410. Further, a game nail YK is driven into the first winning member 2400 from the front side.

The main body 2410 is recessed inward from both ends in the horizontal direction (FIG. 260 (a) left and right) in the front view, and recesses inward from both ends in the gravity direction in the front view. The second recess 2412 to be formed and the through hole 2413 penetrating in the plate thickness direction at the four corners are mainly provided. Further, the distance dimension of the main body portion 2410 in the plate thickness direction is formed to be substantially the same as or smaller than the recessed dimension of the recessed portion 2060d of the base plate 60 toward the back surface side. As a result, when the first winning member 2400 is arranged on the base plate 60, it is possible to prevent the front surface side of the main body portion 2410 from protruding toward the game area side. As a result, it is possible to prevent the flow of the game ball from being hindered by the first winning member 2400.

The first recess 2411 is formed at an intermediate position in the gravity direction (vertical direction in FIG. 260 (a)) of the main body portion 2410. As a result, when the first winning member 2400 is fitted into the recessed portion 2460d of the base plate 60, the ground contact surface between the first winning member 2400 and the base plate 60 can be increased. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the first winning member 2400 from being displaced in the direction of gravity with respect to the base plate 60.

The second recess 2412 is formed at an intermediate position in the horizontal direction (horizontal direction in FIG. 260 (a)) of the main body portion 2410. As a result, the distance between the center frame 86 and the first winning opening 64 can be reduced. As a result, the game ball flowing down from the upper part of the center frame 86 can easily flow into the first winning opening 64.

The through hole 2413 is a hole into which the tip end side of the screw is inserted when the first winning member 2400 is fastened to the base plate 60. Further, the through hole 2413 is expanded in diameter toward the front side (right side in FIG. 260 (b)). As a result, when the countersunk screw is inserted into the through hole 2413 from the front side of the first winning member 2400, the head of the screw can be inserted into the through hole 2413.

Further, the through hole 2413 includes a diameter-expanded portion 2413a whose diameter is expanded to a portion on the back surface side of the intermediate position in the plate thickness direction. The enlarged diameter portion 2413a is formed to have an inner diameter larger than the outer diameter of the annular protrusion 2060d1 described above, and has a recessed dimension in the plate thickness direction (distance from the back surface of the main body portion 2410 to the recessed bottom surface of the enlarged diameter portion 2413a). Is formed smaller than the protrusion size of the annular protrusion 2060d1.

As a result, when the first winning member 2400 is arranged inside the recessed portion 2360d, the annular projection 2060d1 can be inserted inside the enlarged diameter portion 2413a, and the concave bottom surface and the annular projection 2360 of the enlarged diameter portion 2413a can be inserted. Can come into contact with the protruding tip surface of. As a result, the fastening position of the screw can be positioned on the front side by the protrusion distance of the annular protrusion 2060d1, and the length of the tip side of the screw can be shortened. Further, since the concave bottom surface of the enlarged diameter portion 2413a and the projecting tip surface of the annular protrusion 2360 come into contact with each other, the length of the screw can be increased by that amount, and the fastening force when the screw is fastened can be increased. Can be secured.

The bulging portion 2420 is formed at a position overlapping the recessed portion 2060c of the base plate 60 in the front-rear direction (left-right direction in FIG. 260 (b)). Further, the game nail YK is driven into a position where it overlaps with the bulging portion 2420 in the front-rear direction. As a result, the rigidity of the first winning member 2400 at the position where the game nail YK is driven can be increased. As a result, it is possible to prevent the first winning member 2400 from being damaged when the game nail YK is driven into the first winning member 2400 or when the game ball flowing down the flow-down region collides with the game nail YK.

The second winning member 2500 mainly includes a base portion 2510 formed from a rhombic plate-like body in front view, and a ball winning portion 320 projecting from the front side (right side of FIG. 260 (b)) of the base portion 2510. The base portion 2510 and the ball winning portion 320 are integrally formed of a resin material in preparation for the above.

The base portion 2510 is set to have a larger horizontal direction (horizontal direction in FIG. 260 (a)) when viewed from the front than the recessed portion 2060c described above. As a result, the base portion 2510 can be arranged on the front side (right side of FIG. 260 (b)) of the recessed portion 2060c, and both ends of the base portion 2510 in the horizontal direction can be brought into contact with the front surface (front surface) of the base plate 60. it can.

The base portion 2510 has an opening 311 recessed downward from the upper end portion (upper end portion of FIG. 260 (a)) and both ends in the horizontal direction (vertical direction of the paper surface) in the plate thickness direction (FIG. 260 (a)). It is mainly provided with a through hole 313 penetrating through FIG. 260 (b) in the left-right direction). The opening 311 in the 61st embodiment is formed so as to be connected to the outer edge portion of the base portion 2510. Further, the through holes 313 are formed at two places.

Next, assembling the winning opening unit 2300 to the base plate 60 will be described with reference to FIGS. 263 and 264. 263 (a) and 264 (a) are front views of the game board 13. 263 (b) is a cross-sectional view of the game board 13 in the CCLXIIIb-CCLXIIIb line of FIG. 263 (a), and FIG. 264 (b) is a cross-sectional view of the game board 13 in the CCLXIVb-CCLXIVb line of FIG. 264 (a). It is a figure. 263 (c) is a cross-sectional view of the game board 13 on the CCLXIIIc-CCLXIIIc line of FIG. 263 (a), and FIG. 264 (c) is a cross-sectional view of the game board 13 on the CCLXIVc-CCLXIVc line of FIG. 264 (a). It is a figure.

In addition, in FIGS. 263 (a) to 263 (c), the state in which the first winning member 2400 is arranged on the base plate 60 (the state before the first winning member 2400 is arranged) is illustrated. In FIGS. 264 (a) to 264 (c), a state in which the winning opening unit 2300 is assembled to the base plate 60 is illustrated.

As shown in FIG. 263, in assembling the winning opening unit 2300 to the base plate 60, first, the first winning member 2400 before driving the game nail YK is attached to the base plate 60. In this case, by inserting the first winning member 2400 along the recessed portion 2060d of the base plate 60, as described above, the annular protrusion of the base plate 60 is formed inside the enlarged diameter portion 2413a formed in the through hole 2413. 2060d1 is inserted.

With the annular protrusion 2060d1 inserted inside the enlarged diameter portion 2413a, the tip of the countersunk screw is inserted into the through hole 2413 from the front side, and the tip of the countersunk screw is inserted into the inner circumference of the annular protrusion 2060d1. Screw it onto the surface. As a result, the first winning member 2400 before driving the game nail YK is attached to the base plate 60. The front surface of the first winning member 2400 is set at a position substantially the same (facial) as the front surface of the base plate 60.

The game nail YK is driven into the first winning member 2400 from the front side in a state where the first winning member 2400 is fastened and fixed to the base plate 60. As a result, it is easy to drive the game nail YK into the first winning member 2400, which is formed in a relatively small size. Further, the relative position with the nail to be driven into the base plate 60 can be adjusted.

Next, as shown in FIG. 264, the second winning member 2500 is attached to the front surface side. As a result, the distance between the first winning opening 64 and the game nail can be narrowed. That is, in a state where the first winning opening 64 (ball winning portion 320) is formed in the first winning member 2400 into which the game nail YK is driven, the machine for driving the game nail YK and the first winning opening 64 when driving the game nail. The game nail YK needs to be separated from the first winning opening 64 by a predetermined distance in order to avoid interference with the first winning opening 64, but the first winning opening 64 is different from the first winning member 2400 into which the game nail YK is driven. Since it is formed on the second winning member 2500 which is attached in a later process than the first winning member 2400, after driving the game nail YK into the first winning member 2400, the first winning opening 64 is placed closer to the game nail YK. Can be set up.

Next, the 62nd embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 265 to 267. In the 61st embodiment, the screw to be fastened when the first winning member 2400 is replaced with a new member is screwed into the same screw hole (female screw formed in the annular protrusion 2060d1) before and after the replacement. Although the case has been described, in the 62nd embodiment, when the first winning member 3400 is replaced, the screws for fastening the first winning member 3400 have different screw holes (in different annular protrusions 2060d1) before and after the replacement. It is screwed into the formed female screw). The same parts as those of the above-described embodiments are designated by the same reference numerals, and the description thereof will be omitted.

FIG. 265 (a) is a front view of the game board 13 according to the 62nd embodiment, and FIG. 265 (b) is a cross-sectional view of the game board 13 in the CCLXVb-CCLXVb line of FIG. 265 (a). FIG. 266 is a perspective front view of the game board 13, and FIG. 267 is an exploded perspective front view of the game board 13. Note that FIG. 267 shows a state in which the center frame 86 is removed. Further, in FIGS. 265 to 266, the outer shapes of the winning opening unit 3300 and the base plate 60 are shown in a simplified manner.

As shown in FIGS. 265 to 267, a part of the winning opening unit 3300 according to the 62nd embodiment (first winning member 3400) is inserted inside the recessed portion 2060c and is on the front side of the base plate 60. It is fixed by a tapping screw or the like from (FIG. 265 (a) front side of the paper surface).

Around the center opening (center frame 86) side of the recessed portion 2060c, from the front side (the front side of the paper surface of FIG. 265 (a)) to the back side (the back side of the paper surface of FIG. 265 (a)) of the base plate 60. A recessed portion 3060d is formed. The outer shape of the recessed portion 3060d in front view is formed to be substantially the same as the outer shape of the first winning member 3400, which will be described later. As a result, the first winning member 3400 can be arranged inside the recessed portion 3060d.

Further, the recessed portion 3060d is formed in an annular shape, and the annular projection 2060d1 protruding to the front side, the chamfered portion 3060d6 and the annular projection 2060d1 are formed on the left and right edges on the front side. It is formed with an inclined surface 3060d2 that is inclined from the lower side (lower side of FIG. 265 (b)) to the upper side (upper side of FIG. 265 (b)) on the back surface side (left side of FIG. 265 (b)) of the plane. The inclined surface 3060d2 is formed so as to be inclined 5 degrees from the lower side to the upper side toward the back surface side.

The annular projections 2060d1 are formed in two positions in a manner in which the recessed portion 2060c is sandwiched between the same heights in the horizontal direction (FIG. 265 (a) left and right direction), and two sets are formed in the vertical direction (FIG. 265 (b)). It is formed at two locations in the vertical direction (that is, two sets of screw holes (female screws) are formed at a total of four locations).

The chamfered portion 3060d6 is formed by cutting out the front side (front side of the paper surface of FIG. 265) on both the left and right sides (both left and right sides in FIG. 265 (a)) on which the first winning member 3400 is arranged. The chamfered portion 3060d1 is formed so as to be inclined toward the back side toward the center side in the left-right direction, and the notch area is from the lower side (lower side in FIG. 265 (a)) to the upper side (upper side in FIG. 265 (a)). Be enlarged. Further, the chamfered portion 3060d6 is formed so that the inner end portion in the left-right direction is inclined by 5 degrees toward the upper surface side on the back surface side with respect to the front surface of the base plate 60. That is, the notch is formed at substantially the same angle as the inclined surface 3060d2.

The winning opening unit 3300 includes a first winning member 3400 arranged inside the recessed portion 2060c of the base plate 60, a first winning member 3400 thereof, and a second winning member arranged on the front side of the base plate 60. Formed from 3500 and.

The first winning member 3400 includes a main body 3410 formed of a horizontally long rectangular plate-like body in front view, a bulging portion and 2420 bulging from the back side of the main body 3410, and a game nail driven from the front side. It is formed mainly with YK. Further, the first winning member 3400 is arranged in a state in which the lateral direction of the main body portion 3410, which will be described later, is parallel to the inclined direction of the inclined surface 3060d2 described above. Therefore, when the first winning member 3400 is arranged on the base plate 60, it is arranged in a state of being inclined toward the back surface side with respect to the plane surface of the base plate 60.

The main body 3410 has two through holes 3413 penetrating in a circular cross section in the plate thickness direction, and is recessed in a circular cross section from the back side (left side in FIG. 265 (b)) to the front side (right side in FIG. 265 (b)). It is formed with two recesses 3414 to be formed. The concave portion 3414 is set to have the same shape as the enlarged diameter portion 3413a of the through hole 3413 described later (the concave dimension and the inner diameter are substantially the same). Further, the game nail YK is driven so that the position of the main body portion 3410 in the lateral direction is intermediate between the shaft of the through hole 3413 and the shaft of the recess 3514. That is, the distance dimension L1 from the axis of the through hole 3413 to the axis of the game nail YK (see FIG. 265 (b)) and the distance dimension L2 from the axis of the recess 3414 to the axis of the game nail YK (see FIG. 265 (b)). ) Is set to the same distance.

The through hole 3413 is a hole into which the tip end side of the screw is inserted when the first winning member 3400 is fastened to the base plate 60. The through hole 3413 is enlarged in diameter toward the front side (right side in FIG. 265 (b)). As a result, when the countersunk screw is inserted into the through hole 3413 from the front side of the first winning member 3410, the head of the screw can be inserted inside the through hole 2413.

Further, the through hole 3413 includes a diameter-expanded portion 3413a whose diameter is expanded to the back surface side (left side in FIG. 265 (b)) from the substantially intermediate position in the plate thickness direction. The enlarged diameter portion 3413a is formed to have an inner diameter larger than the outer diameter of the annular projection 2060d1, and the recessed dimension in the plate thickness direction is formed to be smaller than the protruding dimension of the annular projection 2060d1.

The through hole 3413 is a circle formed at two positions above (above FIG. 265 (b)) of the four ring projections 2060d1 described above in a state where the first winning member 3400 is arranged on the base plate 60. It is formed at a position facing the ring projection 2060d1. On the other hand, a recess 3414 is formed at a position facing the two annular projections 2060d1 formed below (below FIG. 265 (b)) of the four annular projections 2060d1.

Therefore, when the first winning member 3400 is arranged inside the recessed portion 2360d, two annular projections 2060d1 arranged above the four annular projections 2060d1 inside the enlarged diameter portion 3413a 2060d1 can be brought into contact with the inside of the enlarged diameter portion 3413a.

As a result, the two annular projections 2060d1 formed above the four annular projections 2060d1 and the through holes formed in the first winning member 3400 can be fastened and fixed with countersunk screws. ..

Further, when the first winning member 3400 is arranged inside the recessed portion 2360d, two annular projections 2060d1 arranged below the four annular projections 2060d1 can be inserted inside the concave portion 3414. At the same time, the protruding tip surface of the annular protrusion 2060d1 can be brought into contact with the concave bottom surface of the recess 3414.

As described above, the through hole 3413 and the recess 3414 are formed so that the positions of the first winning member 3400 in the lateral direction are the same distance apart with the game nail YK in between. Therefore, when the first winning member 3400 is removed from the base plate 60, the lower annular projection 2060d1 is inserted inside the enlarged diameter portion 3413a of the through hole 3413 by inverting the top and bottom of the first winning member 3400. At the same time, the upper annular projection 2060d1 can be inserted inside the recess 3414. That is, by turning the first winning member 3400 upside down, the first winning member 3400 can be attached to the base plate 60. As described above, in the present embodiment, the first winning member 3400 can be attached to the base plate 60 in two postures.

Therefore, in the first winning member 3400 of the winning opening unit 3300, the game nail YK is planted at the same position in the first posture and the second posture inverted from the first posture, so that the first prize is won. Even if the posture of the member 3400 is changed, the position of the game nail YK with respect to the base plate 60 can be maintained at a predetermined position.

Further, as described above, the base plate 60 is formed with a chamfered portion 3060d6 that is cut out toward the front edge portion of the first winning member 3400 of the winning opening unit 3300, so that the front surface and the first portion of the base plate 60 are formed. 1 The front surface of the winning member 3400 can be smoothly connected. That is, by forming the inclined surface 3060d2 on the base plate 60, it is possible to suppress the formation of a step between the front surface of the base plate 60 and the front surface of the first winning member 3400. Therefore, in order to suppress such a step, it is not necessary to dispose another member (for example, a part of the second winning member 2500) on the front surface of the base plate 60 or the front surface of the first winning member 3300.

The second winning opening 3500 includes a base portion 3510 formed from a horizontally long rectangular plate-like body in front view, a ball winning portion 320 projecting from the front side (right side of FIG. 265 (b)) of the base portion 3510, and a ball winning portion 320. Is mainly formed.

The base portion 3510 is formed to have a larger width dimension in the longitudinal direction (left-right direction in FIG. 265 (a)) than the recessed portion 2060c in the front view. As a result, the base portion 3510 can be arranged on the front side of the recessed portion 2060c, and both ends of the base portion 3510 in the longitudinal direction can be brought into contact with the front surface of the base plate 60.

The base portion 3510 mainly includes an opening 311 formed through the back surface side of the ball winning portion 320, and through holes 313 penetrating both end portions in the longitudinal direction (left-right direction in FIG. 268 (a)).

According to the winning opening unit 3300 configured as described above, when the game nail YK of the first winning member 3400 is broken or when the game nail YK falls out of the first winning member 3400, the second winning member 3500 Can be repaired by removing the defective first winning member 3400 from the base plate 60 and attaching a new (normal) first winning member 3400.

Here, a game machine including a first game board member (base plate 60) and a second game board member that is fastened and fixed to the first game board member to form a game board together with the first game board member is known. ing. An insertion hole (through hole 2413) is formed in the second game board member, and a female screw (inner edge portion of the annular protrusion 2060d1) is formed in the first game board member, and the insertion hole is inserted into the insertion hole of the second game board member. The screw member (counterscrew screw N2) is screwed into the female screw of the first game board member, so that the second game board member is fastened and fixed to the second game board member. According to such a game machine, the second game board member can be attached to and detached from the first game board member. That is, when a failure or damage occurs in the second game board member, only the second game board member can be replaced, and the replacement of the game board as a whole can be unnecessary. However, in the above-mentioned conventional game machine, every time the second game board member is replaced, the female screw and the screw member are repeatedly screwed, and the thread of the female screw is settled (wear or galling). However, when the number of replacements increases, there is a problem that the reliability of fastening and fixing decreases.

On the other hand, according to the 62nd embodiment, the base plate 60 is provided with a plurality of (4 in this embodiment) annular protrusions 2060d1 for fastening and fixing the first winning member 3400 of the winning opening unit 3300 to the winning opening unit. The first winning member 3400 of the 3300 is formed with a plurality of through holes 2413 (two in the present embodiment) through which the countersunk screws N2 can be inserted, and the number is smaller than the number of the annular protrusions 2060d1 (two in the present embodiment). ), The first winning member 3400 is fastened and fixed to the base plate 60 by the countersunk screw N2. Therefore, if the thread of the female screw of 1 is settled (wear or galling), another annular protrusion 2060d1 Inner edge part (female screw) can be used. Therefore, even when the number of replacements of the first winning member 3300 is increased, the reliability of fastening and fixing can be ensured.

Further, in the 62nd embodiment, the first winning member 3400 of the winning opening unit 3300 is formed so that the posture with respect to the base plate 60 is at least selectable from the first posture or the second posture inverted upside down from the first posture. In the first posture and the second posture, the inner edge of the ring protrusion 2060d1 connected to the through hole 2413 is the inner edge of the ring protrusion 2060d1, so that the thread of the inner edge of the ring protrusion 2060d1 is settled. When the above occurs, the female screw of another annular protrusion 2060d1 can be used by changing the posture of the first winning member 3400. Therefore, the reliability of fastening and fixing can be ensured even when the number of replacements is increased.

For example, when the first winning member 3400 is arranged on the base plate 60 with the through hole 2413 positioned above the first winning member 3400 as shown in FIGS. 265 to 267, the first winning member 3400 is arranged. A countersunk screw N2 for fastening the 3400 to the base plate 60 is screwed into two annular protrusions 2060d1 formed above the base plate 60. When the first winning member 3400 is defective and replaced, the through hole 2413 of the first winning member 3400 after replacement is arranged on the base plate 60 in a state of being located below the first winning member 3400. As a result, the countersunk screws N2 for fastening the first winning member 3400 to the base plate 60 are screwed inside the two annular protrusions 2060d1 formed below the base plate 60.

Further, in the first winning member 3400, the number of through holes 2413 is smaller than the number of the annular projections 2060d1, so that the first winning member 3400 is visibly arranged in front of the base plate 60. In this case, the number of through holes 3400 visible to the player without the countersunk screw N2 being inserted can be reduced. Therefore, the area of another member (for example, the second winning member 3500) for covering the through hole 3400 can be suppressed. It is preferable that the first winning member 3300 is fastened and fixed to the base plate 60 by the base plate 60 by the same number of countersunk screws N2 as the number of through holes 3400. In this case, it is possible to eliminate the through hole 2413 that is visible to the player when the countersunk screw N2 is not inserted. Therefore, it is not necessary to cover the through hole 3400 with another member.

Further, by reducing the number of through holes 2413, the strength of the first winning member 3400 can be secured accordingly. Here, since the first winning member 3400 is relatively small, it is difficult to secure its strength. On the other hand, when the first winning member 3400 is formed assuming that the game nail YK is to be planted, the game ball hits the game nail YK against the driving load when the game nail YK is planted or during the game. It is necessary to secure the strength against the impact when colliding with. Therefore, in the first winning member 3400 in which the game nail YK is planted, it is particularly effective to reduce the number of through holes 2412 from the viewpoint of ensuring strength.

Further, the base plate 60 is provided with a predetermined inclination angle (5 degrees in the present embodiment) on the inclined surface 3060d2 supporting the first winning member 3400 of the winning opening unit 3300, and the first winning member 3400 is inclined. Since the nails are planted perpendicularly to the main body 3410 supported by the surface 3060d2, even if the posture (first posture or the second posture) of the first winning member 3400 is changed, the nails with respect to the base plate 60 The tilt angle can be kept constant.

Next, the 63rd embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 268 and 269. In the 61st embodiment, the case where the screw to be fastened when the first winning member 2400 is replaced is screwed into the same female screw portion (annular protrusion 2060d1) before and after the replacement has been described, but the 63rd embodiment has been described. In the embodiment, when the first winning member 3400 is replaced, the screw for fastening the first winning member 3400 is screwed into a different female screw portion (annular projection 2061d1) before and after the replacement. The same parts as those of the above-described embodiments are designated by the same reference numerals, and the description thereof will be omitted.

268 (a) is a front view of the game board 13 in the 63rd embodiment, and FIG. 268 (b) is a cross-sectional view of the game board 13 in the CCLXVIIIb-CCLXVIIIb line of FIG. 268 (a). FIG. 269 is an exploded perspective front view of the game board 13. Note that FIG. 269 shows a state in which the center frame 86 is removed. Further, in FIGS. 268 and 269, the outer shapes of the winning opening unit 4300 and the base plate 60 are shown in a simplified manner.

As shown in FIGS. 268 and 269, a part of the winning opening unit 4300 in the 63rd embodiment (first winning member 4400) is inserted inside the recessed portion 2060c and the front side of the base plate 60 ( It is fixed by a tapping screw or the like from FIG. 268 (a) on the front side of the paper surface).

Around the center opening (center frame 86) side of the recessed portion 2060c, from the front side (the front side of the paper surface of FIG. 268 (a)) to the back side (the back side of the paper surface of FIG. 268 (b)) of the base plate 60. A recessed portion 4060d is formed.

The recessed portion 4060d is formed in an annular shape, and an annular projection 2060d1 projecting to the front side is formed. In addition, three annular projections 2060d1 in the present embodiment are formed side by side in the vertical direction (vertical direction in FIG. 269) in the recessed portion 4060d, and a total of six are formed with the recessed portion 2060c interposed therebetween.

The winning opening unit 4300 includes a first winning member 4400 arranged inside the recessed portion 2060c of the base plate 60, a first winning member 4400 thereof, and a second winning member arranged on the front side of the base plate 60. Formed from 3500 and.

The first winning member 4400 includes a main body portion 4410 formed of a horizontally long rectangular plate-like body in front view, a bulging portion 2420 bulging from the back side of the main body portion 4410, and a game nail YK driven from the front side. Formed from.

The main body portion 4410 is formed with a through hole 2413 penetrating in a circular cross section in the plate thickness direction. The through holes 2413 are formed on the front side (right side of FIG. 268 (b)) of the six annular protrusions 2060d1 formed on the base plate 60 in a state where the first winning member 4400 is arranged on the base plate 60. Will be done. That is, six through holes 2413 are formed in the main body portion 4410.

Therefore, when the first winning member 4400 is arranged inside the recessed portion 4360d, the annular projection 2060d1 can be inserted inside the enlarged diameter portion 2413a, respectively. In the 63rd embodiment, the number of countersunk screws N2 for fastening the first winning member 4400 and the base plate 60 is two, and the countersunk screws N2 are screwed into two of the six annular protrusions 2060d1. To.

It is preferable that the annular projection 2060d1 for screwing the countersunk screw N2 is one each from the two recesses 4060d formed on both sides in the left-right direction with the recessed portion 2060c interposed therebetween. According to this, the countersunk screws N2 can be fastened at both ends in the longitudinal direction of the first winning member 4400. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the first winning member 4400 from swinging with respect to the base plate 60 due to the collision or impact of the game ball.

The second winning opening 4500 includes a base portion 4510 formed from a horizontally long rectangular plate-like body in front view, and a ball winning portion 320 projecting from the front side of the base portion 4510 (on the right side in FIG. 268 (b)). Is mainly formed.

The base portion 4510 is formed to have a larger width dimension in the longitudinal direction (left-right direction in FIG. 268 (a)) than the recessed portion 2060c in the front view. As a result, the base portion 4510 can be arranged on the front side of the recessed portion 2060c, and both ends of the base portion 4510 in the longitudinal direction can be brought into contact with the front surface of the base plate 60.

The base portion 4510 has an opening 311 formed through the back side of the ball winning portion 320, through holes 313 penetrating both ends in the longitudinal direction (FIG. 268 (a) left and right direction), and a longitudinal direction (FIG. 268 (a)). ) A covering member 4511 extending upward (upper in FIG. 268 (a)) from both sides (in the left-right direction) is provided.

The lining portion 4511 is formed so as to be located on the front side of the annular protrusion 2060d1 of the base plate 60 in a state where the second winning member 4500 is arranged on the base plate 60. As a result, the covering member 4511 is arranged on the front side of the countersunk screw N2 for fastening the first winning member 4400, and the screw for fastening the first winning member can be made difficult to see from the player. Further, since the first winning member 3400 can be removed from the base plate 60 after the second winning member 3500 is removed from the base plate 60, the player can dispose of the first winning member 3400 in front of the game board 13 by unauthorized operation. It is possible to prevent fraud by opening the front frame 14 and removing only the first winning opening 3400. At the same time, the through hole 2413 to which the countersunk screw N2 is not fastened can be covered so as to be difficult for the player to see.

According to the winning opening unit 4300 configured as described above, when the game nail YK of the first winning member 4400 is broken or when the game nail YK falls out of the first winning member 4400, the second winning member 3500 Can be repaired by removing the defective first winning member 4400 from the base plate 60 and attaching a new (normal) first winning member 4400.

As described above, the first winning member 3300 of the winning opening unit 4300 is formed with through holes 2413 at positions corresponding to the female threads of the plurality of annular protrusions 2060d1, so that the thread of the female thread of 1 is reached. Other female threads can be used in the event of wear (wear or galling). Therefore, even if the number of replacements is large, the reliability of fastening and fixing can be ensured.

Further, in the 63rd embodiment, when the first winning member 4400 is attached to the base plate 60, it is fastened to the six annular protrusions 2061d1 with two countersunk screws N2, so another female screw is used. In this case, it is not necessary to change the posture of the first winning member 4400. That is, the number of female threads is not limited to the number of postures that the first winning member 4400 can select. Therefore, a larger number of female threads can be secured. As a result, the number of exchangeable times of the first winning member 4400 can be secured more.

Further, the second winning member 4500 is formed with an lining portion 4511, and the lining portion 4511 is arranged so as to be located on the front surface side of the first winning member 4400, so that the countersunk screw N2 is inserted.

The rotating member 5600 includes a shaft hole 5610 penetrating in a circular shape at the center thereof, and a plurality of fastening holes 5620 formed through the center of the rotating member 5600 at positions separated from each other by the same distance. The shaft hole 5610 is a hole in which the rotating shaft portion 5650, which will be described later, is arranged inside, and the inner diameter thereof is formed to be smaller than the outer diameter of the rotating shaft portion 5650 (support portion 5660).

The fastening holes 5620 are formed between the fastening holes 5620 adjacent to each other in the circumferential direction about the center of the rotating member 5600 and a predetermined angle separation. In the present embodiment, eight fastening holes 5620 are formed in the rotating member 5600, and adjacent fastening holes 5620 are formed at positions separated from each other by approximately 45 degrees about the axis of the rotating member 5600. Further, the fastening hole 5620 is a portion where a countersunk screw N2 for fastening the first winning member 2400 is screwed, and a female screw is formed inside by tapping.

The rotating shaft portion 5650 is a supporting portion that rotatably supports the rotating member 5600, and is engaged with the support portion 5660 formed in a columnar shape, which is located on the back surface side of the supporting portion 5660 and bulges outward in the radial direction. It is formed mainly including a portion 5670.

The outer diameter of the support portion 5660 is formed to be smaller than the inner diameter of the shaft hole 5610 of the rotating member 5600. As a result, the support portion 5660 can be inserted inside the shaft hole 5610 to rotatably support the shaft hole 5610. Further, the support portion 5660 is formed with through holes 5661 penetrating from the front side to the back side at two locations. By inserting a screw into the through hole 5661 from the back surface side and screwing it into the back surface side of the base plate 60, the rotating shaft portion 5650 is held so as not to fall off from the base plate 60.

The outer shape of the engaging portion 5670 is formed to be larger than the inner diameter of the shaft hole 5610 of the rotating member 5600. As a result, when the support portion 5660 of the rotating shaft portion 5650 is inserted inside the shaft hole 5610 of the rotating member 5600, it is possible to prevent the rotating member 5600 from falling out to the back surface side.

The center of the rotating member 5600 is arranged below the central opening of the base plate 60 on which the center frame 86 is arranged, and a part of the rotating member 5600 is on the back side of the recessed portion 2060c of the base plate 60. Located in. Further, two of the plurality of fastening holes 5620 are arranged coaxially with the insertion hole 5060d3 of the recessed portion 5060d of the base plate 60. As a result, the first winning member 5400, which will be described later, can be fastened and fixed with the countersunk screw N2.

As described above, the rotating member 5600 is rotatably arranged with respect to the base plate 60, and the fastening holes 5620 are formed at regular intervals in the circumferential direction about the center of the rotating member 5600. When the above is rotated, the axial positions of the two insertion holes 5060d3 and the two fastening holes 5620 can be aligned.

The winning opening unit 5300 is formed with a first winning member 5400 arranged inside the recessed portion 2060c of the base plate 60. The first winning member 5400 includes a main body portion 5410 formed of a horizontally long rectangular plate-like body in front view, a bulging portion 2420 bulging from the back side of the main body portion 5410, and a game nail YK driven from the front side.

The main body portion 5410 is formed with a through hole 2413 penetrating in a circular shape in the plate thickness direction. The through hole 2413 is formed coaxially with the two insertion holes 5060d3 formed in the base plate 60 in a state where the first winning member 5400 is arranged in the base plate 60. Therefore, by inserting the countersunk screw N2 into the through hole 2413 from the front side of the first winning member 5400, the tip of the countersunk screw N2 can be inserted into the insertion hole 5060d3 of the base plate 60. As described above, since the fastening hole 5620 of the rotating member 5600 is located on the back surface side of the insertion hole 5060d3, the countersunk screw N2 can be fastened and fixed to the fastening hole 5620.

As described above, according to the winning opening unit 5300 and the rotating member 5600, when the game nail YK of the first winning member 5400 is broken or the game nail YK falls out of the first winning member 5400, After removing the second winning member 2500 from the base plate 60, the defective first winning member 5400 can be removed and a new (normal) first winning member 5400 can be attached for repair.

Further, since the disk member 5600 is provided on the back surface of the base plate 60 so as to be displaceably supported and a plurality of female screws are formed, if the thread of one female screw is settled (wear or galling), it may be worn or galled. By displacing the disk member 5600, another female screw can be used. Therefore, even when the number of replacements of the first winning member 5400 of the winning opening unit 5300 is increased, the reliability of fastening and fixing can be ensured.

That is, in the 64th embodiment, the rotating member 5600 is rotatably arranged with respect to the base plate 60, and the fastening holes 5620 into which the countersunk screws N2 can be screwed are provided at a plurality of locations (8) at regular intervals in the circumferential direction. Place). Therefore, when the first winning member 5400 is replaced, the rotating member 5600 is rotated, and the fastening hole 5620 in which the countersunk screw N2 is never screwed and the insertion hole 5060d3 of the base plate 60 are positioned. Later, the countersunk screw N2 is inserted into the replaced first winning member 5400 and screwed into the fastening hole 5620. As a result, the female screw for fastening the countersunk screw N2 can be made different before and after the replacement of the first winning member 5400.

Therefore, since the female screw portion (fastening hole 5620) into which the countersunk screw N2 is screwed can be changed with the replacement of the first winning member 5400, it is possible to prevent the female screw portion from being worn out. As a result, the reliability of fastening and fixing the first winning member 5400 can be ensured.

In particular, in the 64th embodiment, since the disk member 5600 is supported on the back surface of the base plate 60, the disk member 5600 is prevented from falling off when the first winning member 5400 is removed, or the first winning member. When attaching the 5400, it is not necessary for the operator to manually hold the disk member 5600 from the back surface of the base plate 60 in order to screw the countersunk screw N2 to the female screw of the disk member 5600. Therefore, when replacing the first winning member 5400, it is not necessary to open the game board 13, and the first winning member 5400 can be replaced from the front while the game board 13 is closed. Therefore, the workability of the work of exchanging the first winning member 5400 can be improved.

Further, since the disk member 5600 is formed in a circular shape when viewed from the front and is rotatably supported on the base plate 60 with the center of the circle as a rotation axis, the female screw for screwing the countersunk screw N2 is changed. Even if the disk member 5600 is rotated, the appearance of the disk member 5600 visually recognized by the player can be maintained constant. In particular, when the base plate 60 is formed of a light-transmitting material and the disk member 5600 is seen through the base plate 60, the circular shape in front view is particularly effective for maintaining the appearance.

Further, since the base plate 60 is provided with a recessed portion 2060c that is formed in the region where the first winning member 5400 is arranged and is communicated with the disk member 5600, the recessed portion 2060c is used. It is possible for the operator to operate the disk member 5600 from the front of the base plate 60. That is, when the first winning member 5400 is attached, it is necessary to rotate the disk member 5600 to adjust the position of the female screw, but such adjustment can be performed with the game board 13 closed. .. Further, the recessed portion 2060c can be hidden from the player by covering with the first winning member 5400. Therefore, the appearance can be improved.

Next, the 65th embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 272 and 273. In the 61st embodiment, the case where the countersunk screw N2 for fastening the first winning member 2400 is inserted from the front side of the game board 13 has been described, but in the 65th embodiment, the countersunk screw N2 is inserted from the upper side. .. The same parts as those of the above-described embodiments are designated by the same reference numerals, and the description thereof will be omitted.

272 (a) is a front view of the game board 13 in the 65th embodiment, and FIG. 272 (b) is a cross-sectional view of the game board 13 in the CCLXIIb-CCLXXIIb line of FIG. 272 (a). FIG. 273 is an exploded perspective front view of the game board 13. Note that FIGS. 272 (a) and 272 (b) show a state in which the second winning member 2500 is removed, and FIG. 273 shows a state in which the center frame 86 is removed. Further, in FIGS. 272 and 273, the outer shapes of the winning opening unit 6300 and the base plate 60 are shown in a simplified manner.

As shown in FIGS. 272 and 273, the base plate 60 in the 65th embodiment is formed from the front side (front side of the paper surface in FIG. 272 (a)) to the back surface around the central opening (center frame 86) side of the recessed portion 2060c. A recessed portion 6060d that is recessed toward the side is formed.

The outer shape of the recessed portion 6060d in front view is formed to be substantially the same as the outer shape of the first winning member 2400. As a result, the first winning member 6400 can be inserted and arranged inside the recessed portion 6060d. Further, a plurality of fastening holes 6060d4 recessed downward are formed on the lower surface on which the recessed portion 6060d is formed.

The fastening hole 6060d4 is formed in a circular shape when viewed from above, and is formed coaxially with the axis of the through hole 6413 of the first winning member 6400 in a state where the first winning member 6400 is arranged on the base plate 60.

The winning opening unit 6300 includes a first winning member 6400 arranged inside the recessed portion 2060c of the base plate 60, and a second winning member 6400 arranged on the front side of the first winning member 6400 and the base plate 60. Formed from 2500.

The first winning member 6400 includes a main body portion 6410 formed of a horizontally long rectangular plate-like body in front view, a bulging portion 2420 bulging from the back side of the main body portion 6410, and a game nail YK driven from the front side. Formed from.

A plurality of through holes 6413 penetrating in the vertical direction (vertical direction in FIG. 272 (a)) are formed in the main body portion 6410 and the bulging portion 2420. The through hole 6413 is a hole into which the screw N4 for fastening the first winning member 5400 is inserted, and is formed to be larger than the outer diameter of the tip of the screw N4. Further, the diameter of the through hole 6413 is expanded so that the upper end side can insert the head of the screw N4. As a result, when the first winning member 5400 is fastened, it is possible to prevent the head of the screw N4 from protruding upward (center frame 86) side.

The through holes 6413 are formed at three locations at each end of the first winning member 6400 in the longitudinal direction (left-right direction in FIG. 272 (a)) (a total of six locations are formed). As described above, the through hole 6413 of the first winning member 6400 is formed coaxially with the fastening hole 6060d4 of the base plate 60. Therefore, the first winning member 6400 is fastened and fixed to the base plate 60 by inserting the screw N4 into the through hole 6413 and screwing it into the fastening hole 6060d4.

According to the winning opening unit 6300 configured as described above, the center frame 86 is used as a base when the game nail YK of the first winning member 6400 is broken or when the game nail YK falls out of the first winning member 6400. After removing from the plate 60, it can be repaired by removing the defective first winning member 540 and attaching a new (normal) first winning member 6400.

As described above, the through holes 6413 are formed at a plurality of locations (six locations) in the first winning member 6400. Therefore, when replacing the first winning member 6400, after arranging the replaced first winning member 6400 on the base plate 60, the screw N4 is coaxially aligned with the fastening hole 6060d4 that has never been screwed. The screw N4 is inserted into the located through hole 6413, and the screw N4 is screwed into the fastening hole 6060d4. As a result, the female screw for fastening the screw N4 can be made different before and after the replacement of the first winning member 6400.

Therefore, since the female screw (fastening hole 6060d4) into which the screw N4 is screwed can be changed with the replacement of the first winning member 6400, it is possible to prevent the female screw from being worn out. As a result, it is possible to prevent the screw N4 screwed into the base plate 60 from being removed due to an impact or the like.

Further, since the through hole 6413 and the fastening hole 6060d4 extend substantially parallel to the front surface of the base plate 60, the through hole 6413 or the head of the screw N4 can be prevented from being exposed to the front surface (game surface) of the game board 13. Therefore, since it is difficult for the player to visually recognize the through hole 6413 through which the screw N4 is not inserted, the area of another member for covering the through hole 6413 can be suppressed or unnecessary. Further, since the head of the screw N4 is not exposed on the rolling surface (game surface) of the game ball, it is not necessary to use the screw N4 as a countersunk screw or to provide a counterbore (recess) for accommodating the head of the screw N4. And the structure can be simplified.

Next, the 66th embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 274 and 275. In the 61st embodiment, the case where the countersunk screw N2 is screwed into the annular protrusion 2060d1 formed on the base plate 60 has been described, but in the 66th embodiment, the screwed portion (circle) into which the countersunk screw N2 is screwed. The ring protrusion 2060d1) is formed on the first winning member 7400. The same parts as those of the above-described embodiments are designated by the same reference numerals, and the description thereof will be omitted.

274 (a) is a front view of the game board 13 in the 66th embodiment, and FIG. 274 (b) is a cross-sectional view of the game board 13 in the CCLXXIVb-CCLXXIVb line of FIG. 274 (a). FIG. 275 is an exploded perspective front view of the game board 13. Note that FIG. 275 shows a state in which the center frame 86 is removed. Further, in FIGS. 274 and 275, the outer shapes of the winning opening unit 7300 and the base plate 60 are shown in a simplified manner. Further, in FIGS. 274 (a) and 274 (b), the first winning member 2400 of the winning opening unit 7300 is transparently viewed, and the outer shape thereof is shown by a chain line.

As shown in FIGS. 274 and 275, the base plate 60 in the 66th embodiment is formed from the back side (the back side of the paper surface in FIG. 274 (a)) to the front side around the center opening (center frame 86) side of the recessed portion 2060c. A recessed portion 7060d is formed on the side (the front side of the paper surface in FIG. 274 (a)), and a game board overhanging portion 7060k is formed on a non-recessed portion on the front surface side of the recessed portion 7060d.

The outer shape of the recessed portion 7060d in the rear view is formed to be substantially the same as the outer shape of the first winning member 7400. As a result, the first winning member 7400 can be inserted and arranged inside the recessed portion 7060d. Further, a plurality of through holes 7060e penetrating the front surface side are formed in the recessed portion 7060d.

The through hole 7060e is formed in a circular shape in front view, and is formed coaxially with the axis of the annular projection 7414 of the first winning member 7400 in a state where the first winning member 7400 is arranged on the base plate 60. .. Further, the through hole 7060e is formed so that the front side can accommodate the head of the countersunk screw N2 and the back side is enlarged so that the annular projection 7414 can be accommodated. That is, the diameter-expanded portion 7060e is provided with the diameter-expanded portion 7060e1 on the back surface side.

The enlarged diameter portion 7060e1 is formed to be larger than the outer diameter of the annular projection 7414 described later, and the concave dimension to the front surface side is formed to be smaller than the projecting dimension of the annular projection 7414 described later. As a result, in the state where the first winning member 7400 is arranged on the base plate 60, the annular projection 7414 can be inserted inside the enlarged diameter portion 7060e1, and the protruding tip surface of the annular projection 7414 is inserted into the enlarged diameter portion 7060e1. It can be brought into contact with the concave bottom surface.

That is, in a state where the first winning member 7400 is fastened and fixed to the base plate 60, a state in which a gap is formed between the back surface of the first winning member 7400 and the front surface of the base plate 60 can be formed. Therefore, the elastic deformation of the annular protrusion 7414 can be used to facilitate the relative displacement of the first winning member 7400 with respect to the base plate 60. As a result, for example, when the game nail YK is planted in the first winning member 7400, the vibration when the game ball collides with the game nail YK during the game is absorbed, and the game nail YK is damaged (broken). ) Can be suppressed.

In this case, it is preferable that the annular projection 7414 is set to a size smaller than the inner size of the enlarged diameter portion 7060e1. Further, it is preferable that the first winning member 7400 and the base plate 60 do not come into contact with each other except for the protruding tip of the annular protrusion 7414 and the concave bottom surface of the enlarged diameter portion 7060e1. As a result, the annular projection 7414 can be more easily elastically deformed.

The winning opening unit 7300 includes a first winning member 7400 arranged inside the recessed portion 2060c of the base plate 60, and a second winning member 7400 arranged on the front side of the first winning member 7400 and the base plate 60. Formed from 2500.

The first winning member 7400 has a main body portion 7410 formed of a horizontally long rectangular plate-like body in front view, a bulging portion 7420 that bulges from the front side of the main body portion 7410, and a bulging portion 7420 side (front side) thereof. ) Is mainly provided with a game nail YK to be driven.

The bulging portion 7420 is formed at a substantially central position in the longitudinal direction of the main body portion 7410 (left-right direction in FIG. 274 (a)), and is formed shorter than the main body portion 7410 in the longitudinal direction of the main body portion 7410. As a result, a main body-side overhanging portion 7437 protruding outward from the bulging portion 7420 is formed on the outer side in the longitudinal direction of the main body portion 7410. The bulging portion 7437 on the main body side of the main body portion 7410 is formed with an annular protrusion 7414 protruding in an annular shape on the base plate 60 side on the front surface side.

Two annular protrusions 7414 are formed at both ends in the longitudinal direction of the main body 7410 (a total of four are formed). Further, the annular protrusion 7414 is a portion where the countersunk screw N2 is screwed, and a female screw is formed on the inner peripheral portion of the annular shape.

The four countersunk screws N2 for fastening the first winning member 7400 are inserted through the through hole 7060e of the base plate 60 and screwed into the annular protrusion 7414 of the first winning member 7400. As a result, the first winning member 7400 can be fastened and fixed to the base plate 60.

According to the winning unit 7300 configured as described above, when the game nail YK of the first winning member 7400 is broken or the game nail YK falls out of the first winning member 7400, the second winning member 7500 is used. After removing from the base plate 70, it can be repaired by removing the defective first winning member 7400 and attaching a new (normal) first winning member 7400.

Here, a first game board member (base plate 60) and a second game board member (winning opening unit 3300) that is fastened and fixed to the first game board member to form a game board together with the first game board member are provided. A game machine is known. An insertion hole (through hole 2413) is formed in the second game board member, and a female screw (inner edge portion of the annular protrusion 2060d1) is formed in the first game board member, and the insertion hole is inserted into the insertion hole of the second game board member. The screw member (counterscrew screw N2) is screwed into the female screw of the first game board member, so that the second game board member is fastened and fixed to the first game board member. According to such a game machine, the second game board member can be attached to and detached from the first game board member. That is, when a failure or damage occurs in the second game board member, only the second game board member can be replaced, and the replacement of the game board as a whole can be unnecessary. However, in the above-mentioned conventional game machine, every time the second game board member is replaced, the female screw and the screw member are repeatedly screwed, and the thread of the female screw is settled (wear or galling). However, when the number of replacements increases, there is a problem that the reliability of fastening and fixing decreases.

On the other hand, according to the 66th embodiment, a through hole 7060e through which the countersunk screw N2 is inserted is formed in the base plate 60, and a countersunk screw N2 inserted through the through hole 7060e of the base plate 60 is screwed. Since the female screw (annular protrusion 7414) is formed on the first winning member 7400, when the first winning member 7400 is replaced, a new female screw can be used in association with the replacement. Therefore, even if the number of replacements is large, the reliability of fastening and fixing can be ensured.

Further, it is provided with an annular protrusion 7414 projecting from the front surface of the first winning member 7400 and a diameter-expanded portion 7060e1 recessed in the back surface of the base plate 60 so as to accept the annular projection 7414, and the female screw is the first. 1 Since the through hole 7060e is formed in the annular projection 7414 of the winning member 7400 and is formed so as to communicate with the enlarged diameter portion 7060e1 of the base plate 60, the length of the threaded portion (shaft portion) of the female screw can be secured. .. Therefore, the axial force of the countersunk screw N2 can be increased by that amount, and the first winning member 7400 can be firmly fastened and fixed to the base plate 60.

Since the first member 7400 is relatively small, it is difficult to secure its strength. Therefore, by forming a female screw on the annular protrusion 7141 to secure the length of the screw portion, the countersunk screw N2 It is possible to disperse the burden on the first winning member 7400 while making it possible to apply a predetermined axial force to the first winning member. That is, the configuration in which the female screw is provided on the annular projection 7141 is particularly effective from the viewpoint of achieving both strong fastening and fixing and prevention of damage to the constituent members.

Further, since the recessed portion 7060d of the first winning member 7400 is recessed from the back surface side to the front surface side, it is possible to prevent the base plate 60 from being damaged when the game nail YK is driven.

That is, in the 61st embodiment described above, since the recessed portion 2060d is recessed from the front side to the back side, the impact when the game nail YK is driven into the first winning member 2400 is the first winning member 2400. Is transmitted to the base plate 60 of the back surface side portion (the portion thinned by the recessed portion 2060d) of the recessed portion 2060d. Therefore, a force acts on the base plate 60 of the thinned portion in the direction away from the recessed portion 2060d (backward direction). As a result, the force is concentrated on the corner portion of the recessed portion 2060d, and the base plate 60 may be damaged.

On the other hand, in the 66th embodiment, the impact when the game nail YK is driven is transmitted from the countersunk screw N2 to the base plate 60 of the front side portion of the recessed portion 7060d (the portion thinned by the recessed portion 2060d). To. Therefore, a force acts on the base plate 60 of the thinned portion in a direction approaching the recessed portion 7060d side. As a result, it is possible to prevent the force from being concentrated on the corner portion of the recessed portion 7060d, and it is possible to prevent the base plate 60 from being damaged.

Further, the base plate 60 is formed with an opening (a window portion) for making the third symbol display device 81 visible, and a recessed portion 2060c for arranging the first winning member 7400. Since the central opening and the recessed portion 2060c are communicated with each other, when the first winning member 7400 is replaced, the operator holds (grasps) the first winning member 7400 by using the central opening of the base plate 60. ) Can be made. Therefore, it is possible to improve the workability of the replacement work of the first winning member 7400. For example, when the game nail YK is planted on the first prize member 7400, the replacement work can be performed without holding the game nail YK, so that the game nail YK of the newly attached first prize member 7400 can be gripped. It is possible to prevent the game nails from being held and to prevent the game nails from bending or changing the distance between the game nails YK.

Further, since two game nails YK are planted in the first prize member 7400 and no female screw is formed on the extension line of the virtual line connecting the two game nails YK, the first prize member 7400 Can suppress cracking. That is, since the strain (elastic deformation of the first winning member 7400) due to the planting of the two game nails YK overlaps in the direction of the virtual line connecting the two game nails YK, in the region on the extension line of the virtual line, Where the first winning member 7400 is likely to crack, the female screw is not formed in this area, so that the strain caused by the planting of the game nail YK and the load caused by the screwing of the countersunk screw N2 are further increased. Overlapping can be suppressed. As a result, cracking of the first winning member 7400 can be suppressed.

The separation distance between the extension line of the virtual line and the female screw may be set to be equal to or larger than the reference dimension (nominal diameter of the screw) of the outer diameter of the countersunk screw N2 from the viewpoint of suppressing cracking of the first winning member 7400. It is more preferable that the outer diameter of the countersunk screw N2 is set to twice or more the reference dimension.

Next, the 67th embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. 276 (a). In the 61st embodiment, the case where the first winning member 2400 is formed so as to be removable from the front side with respect to the base plate 60 has been described, but in the 67th embodiment, the first winning member 8400 is formed with respect to the base plate 60.

It is formed in the same vertical dimension.

The winning opening unit 7300 includes a first winning member 8400 arranged inside the recessed portion 2060c of the base plate 60, and a second winning member 8400 arranged on the front side of the first winning member 8400 and the base plate 60. Formed from 3500 and.

The first winning member 8400 has a main body portion 8410 formed of a horizontally long rectangular plate-like body in front view, a bulging portion 8420 that bulges from the front side of the main body portion 8410, and a bulging portion 8420 side (front side) thereof. ) Is mainly provided with a game nail YK to be driven.

The bulging portion 8420 is formed at a substantially central position in the longitudinal direction of the main body portion 8410 (left-right direction in FIG. 276 (a)), and is formed shorter than the main body portion 8410 in the longitudinal direction of the main body portion 8410. Further, in the bulging portion 8420, a groove portion 8421 is formed (concave) from the side surface in the left-right direction (left-right direction in FIG. 276 (a)) on the connecting portion side with the main body portion 8410 toward the center side.

A female screw (fastening hole 8415) capable of screwing a countersunk screw N2 is formed in the main body portion 8410 on the outer side in the longitudinal direction from the bulging portion 8420. Further, the fastening hole 8415 is formed coaxially with the through hole 7060e of the base plate 60 in a state where the first winning member 8400 is arranged in the base plate 60. Therefore, the first winning member 8400 is fastened and fixed to the base plate 60 by inserting the countersunk screw N2 into the through hole 7060e and then screwing it into the fastening hole 8415.

The groove portion 8421 is formed over the entire area in the lateral direction of the main body portion 8410 (the direction connecting the front side of the paper surface and the back side of the paper surface in FIG. 276 (a)). Further, the groove portion 8421 is formed so that the interfacing dimension in the front-rear direction (vertical direction in FIG. 276 (a)) is larger than the front-rear direction dimension of the above-mentioned protrusion 8060 g, and the concave dimension in the left-right direction is the protrusion 8060 g. It is formed larger than the protruding dimension of.

As a result, the first winning member 8400 is displaced from the upper side (the front side of the paper surface of FIG. 276 (a)) to the lower side (the back side of the paper surface of FIG. 276 (a)) of the recessed portion 2060c, and the protruding portion inside the groove portion 8421. 8060 g can be inserted and arranged on the base plate 60. That is, the protruding portion 8060 g and the groove portion 8421 are engaged with each other.

According to the winning opening unit 8300 configured as described above, the center frame 86 is used as a base when the game nail YK of the first winning member 8400 is broken or when the game nail YK falls out of the first winning member 8400. After removing from the plate 60, it can be repaired by removing the defective first winning member 8400 and attaching a new (normal) first winning member 8400.

As described above, the fastening hole 8415 for fastening the first winning member 8400 to the base plate 60 is formed in the first winning member 8400. Therefore, when the first winning member 8400 is replaced, the fastening hole 8415 for fastening the first winning member 8400 is also replaced, so that the female screw portion is worn every time the first winning member 8400 is replaced. It can suppress the wear. As a result, it is possible to prevent the countersunk screw N2 to be fastened to the fastening hole 8415 of the first winning member 8400 from being removed (loose) by an impact or the like.

Further, in the 67th embodiment, as described above, the protruding portion 8060 g protruding from the inner side surface of the recessed portion 2060c of the base plate 60 and the protruding portion 8060 g are recessed in the outer surface of the first winning member 8400 so as to be acceptable. Since it is provided and has a groove portion 8421 that is continuously extended along a direction parallel to the front surface (game surface) of the base plate 60 and is connected to the central opening (window portion), the first winning member 8400 is attached to the base plate 60. Even if the countersunk screw N2 is loosened or removed due to vibration accompanying the game or by improper means, it is possible to prevent the first winning member 8400 from falling off from the base plate 60, while allowing the countersunk screw N2 to be pulled out to the central opening side. ..

That is, since the protruding portion 8060 g and the groove portion 8421 are engaged with each other, if the countersunk screw N2 comes out of the fastening hole 8415 due to an impact or the like, the protrusion 8060 g and the groove portion 8421 engage with the first It is possible to prevent the winning member 8400 from moving in the front-rear direction with respect to the base plate 60.

It is set larger than the front-rear direction dimension of the portion 9060 g. As a result, the first winning member 9400 is displaced downward from the upper side (the front side of the paper surface in FIG. 276 (a)) of the recessed portion 2060c, and the engaging portion 9417 is between the protruding portion 9060 g and the recessed portion 9060 d. Can be inserted and arranged. As a result, it is possible to establish a state in which the protruding portion 9060 g and the recessed portion 9060 d face each other and the engaging portion 9417 is engaged.

According to the winning opening unit 9300 configured as described above, the center frame 86 is used as a base when the game nail YK of the first winning member 9400 is broken or when the game nail YK falls out of the first winning member 9400. After removing from the plate 60, it can be repaired by removing the defective first winning member 9400 and attaching a new (normal) first winning member 9400.

As described above, the fastening hole 8415 for fastening the first winning member 9400 to the base plate 60 is formed in the first winning member 9400. Therefore, when the first winning member 9400 is replaced, the fastening hole 8415 for fastening the first winning member 9400 is also replaced, so that the female screw portion is worn every time the first winning member 9400 is replaced. It can suppress the wear. As a result, it is possible to prevent the countersunk screw N2 to be fastened to the fastening hole 9415 of the first winning member 9400 from being removed (loose) by an impact or the like.

Therefore, the axial force of the countersunk screw N2 can be increased by that amount, and the first winning member 9400 can be firmly fastened and fixed to the base plate 60.

Since the first winning member 9400 is relatively small in size, it is difficult to secure its strength. Therefore, the engaging portion 9417 protrudes from the main body side overhanging portion 7437 of the first winning member 9400 to form a screw portion. By securing the length, it is possible to apply a predetermined axial force to the countersunk screw N2, and at the same time, it is possible to disperse the load on the first winning member 9400. That is, the configuration in which the engaging portion 9417 protrudes from the main body side overhanging portion 7437 of the first winning member 9400 is particularly effective from the viewpoint of achieving both firm fastening and fixing and prevention of damage to the first winning member 9400.

Next, the 69th embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 277 and 278. In the 61st embodiment, the case where both the left and right sides of the bulging portion 2420 of the first winning member 2400 are continuously extended in the vertical direction (that is, they are not projected to the back surface side of the main body portion 2410) has been described. The bulging portion 10420 of the first winning member 10400 of the 69th embodiment is formed with a protruding portion 10422 that projects outward in the left-right direction. The same parts as those of the above-described embodiments are designated by the same reference numerals, and the description thereof will be omitted.

FIG. 277 (a) is a rear perspective view of the first winning member 10400 in the 69th embodiment, and FIG. 277 (b) is an exploded perspective front view of the first winning member 10400 and the base plate 60. 278 (a) is a front view of the game board 13, and FIG. 278 (b) is a cross-sectional view of the game board 13 in the CCLXVIIIb-CCLXVIIIb line of FIG. 278. In FIGS. 277 (a) and 277 (b), the outer shapes of the first winning member 10400 and the base plate 60 are shown in a simplified manner. Further, in FIGS. 278 (a) and 278 (b), a state in which the second winning member 2500 is removed is shown.

As shown in FIG. 277, the base plate 60 according to the 69th embodiment is formed by connecting the recessed portion 2060c recessed downward from the lower side of the central opening of the base plate 60 and the recessed portion 2060c. It is mainly provided with a recessed portion 2060d to be formed and a notch portion 10060h formed from a part of the recessed portion 2060d to the back surface side.

The notch portion 10060h is an opening for receiving the projecting portion 10422 formed in the first winning member 10400, which will be described later. The cutout portion 10060h is formed as an opening communicating with the recessed portion 2060c in the remaining portion of the formed portion of the recessed portion 2060d in the base plate 60 toward the outside in the left-right direction (FIG. 278 (a) left-right direction).

The winning opening unit 10300 includes a first winning member 10400 arranged inside the recess 2060c of the base plate 60, a first winning member 10400 thereof, and a second winning member 2500 arranged on the front side of the base plate 60 (the first winning member 10400). (See FIG. 261).

The first winning member 10400 has a main body portion 2410 formed of a horizontally long rectangular plate-like body in a front view, a bulging portion 2420 bulging from the back side of the main body portion 2410, and the bulging portion 2420 to the main body portion 2410. The projecting portion 10422 projecting outward in the longitudinal direction (left-right direction in FIG. 278 (a)) and the game nail YK driven from the front surface of the main body portion 2410 are mainly provided.

The projecting portion 10422 is formed in the longitudinal direction of the main body 2410 from the intermediate portion obtained by dividing the bulging portion 2420 into three equal parts in the lateral direction of the main body 2410 (vertical direction in FIG. 278 (a)) (horizontal direction in FIG. 278 (a)). It is thrust into. Further, the projecting portion 10422 is formed and set as a flat surface whose outer side of the projecting tip (left and right ends) is substantially flush with both end faces (outer peripheral surfaces) in the longitudinal direction of the main body portion 2410, and is set from the main body portion 2410 side. It is formed along an extension of the virtual line connecting the two game nails YK to be planted.

Further, the bulging portion 10400 has a dimension in the direction orthogonal to the virtual line connecting the two game nails YK (vertical direction (FIG. 278 (b) vertical direction)), which is larger than the dimension of the projecting portion 10422. The rigidity of the first winning member 10400 in the direction orthogonal to the virtual line connecting the two game nails YK can be increased. As a result, damage to the first winning member 10400 can be suppressed.

Further, the through holes 2413 formed in the main body portion 2410 are formed at the upper, lower, left, and right ends of the main body portion 2410 in the front view, and are formed at positions where the upper and lower two positions sandwich the projecting portion 10422. As a result, both a region for increasing the rigidity of the first winning member 10400 and a region for fastening and fixing the first winning member 10400 to the base plate 60 can be efficiently secured. As a result, it is possible to suppress damage to the first winning member 10400 and to reduce the size of the first winning member 10400 at the same time.

The notch portion 10060h described above is formed in substantially the same shape as the outer shape of the protrusion portion 10422 in the front view, and the protrusion portion 10422 is notched in a state where the first winning member 10400 is arranged on the base plate 60. It is press-fitted into the portion 10060h. As a result, the base plate 60 can hold the projecting portion 10422. That is, the rigidity of the base plate 60 can be utilized to enhance the configuration of the first winning member 10400 by the amount that at least a part of the projecting portion 10422 is held. As a result, damage to the first winning member 10400 can be suppressed.

Further, the game nail YK is driven into the intermediate position in the lateral direction of the main body portion 2410. Therefore, since the projecting portion 10422 is formed along the extension line of the virtual line connecting the two game nails YK planted on the main body portion 2410 side, damage to the first winning member 10400 can be suppressed. That is, since the strain due to the vegetation of the two game nails YK (elastic deformation of the first winning member 10400) overlaps in the direction of the virtual line connecting the two game nails, in the region on the extension line of the virtual line, the first Where the winning member 10400 is likely to crack, the projecting portion 10422 is formed in such a region, so that the strain associated with the planting of the game nail YK can be alleviated accordingly. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the strain caused by the planting of the game nail YK from further overlapping the load caused by the collision of the game ball with the game nail YK.

According to the winning opening unit 10300 configured as described above, when the game nail YK of the first winning member 10400 is broken or when the game nail YK falls out of the first winning member 10400, the first winning member 2400 Can be repaired by removing the defective first winning member 10400 and attaching a new (normal) first winning member 10400 after removing the base plate 60.

Here, a first game board member (base plate 60) and a second game board member (first winning member 2400) that is detachably arranged on the first game board member and forms a game board together with the first game board member. ), And a nail (game nail YK) is planted on the game surface of the second game board member. According to such a game machine, when the nail of the second game board member is broken, the replacement of the second game board member alone can eliminate the need to replace the game board as a whole. However, in the conventional game machine described above, since the second game board member is formed in a relatively small size, it is difficult to secure the rigidity of the second game board member. Therefore, there is a problem that the second game board member is easily damaged when an external force is applied to the nail due to the collision of the game balls.

On the other hand, in the 69th embodiment, since the first winning member 10400 is formed so as to be able to suppress the damage caused by the action of the external force on the game nail YK, the external force is applied to the game nail YK due to the collision of the game balls. In this case, it is possible to prevent the first winning member 10400 from being damaged.

That is, the first winning member 10400 has a thickness dimension smaller than that of the bulging portion 2420 in which the game nail YK is planted and the bulging portion thereof, and is abutted against the base plate 60 to be fastened and fixed to the main body side. The overhanging portion 2437 is provided, and the main body side overhanging portion 2437 is projected from the contact surface with the base plate 60, and the protruding portion 10422 connected to the bulging portion 2420 is provided. The rigidity of the portion 2420 can be increased. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the first winning member 10400 from being damaged when an external force is applied to the game nail YK due to the collision of the game balls.

Further, as described above, since the notch portion 10060h is formed in substantially the same shape as the outer shape of the projecting portion 10422 in the front view, the notch portion 10400 is projected in a state where the first winning member 10400 is arranged on the base plate 60. The upper and lower surfaces of the installation portion 10422 can be brought into contact with the notch portion 10060h. As a result, it is possible to prevent the first winning member 10400 from being damaged when the game ball comes into contact with the game nail YK.

That is, when the game ball collides with the game nail YK from above, the impact of the collision pushes down the head side of the game nail YK centering on the connecting portion between the game nail YK and the first winning member 2400. Rotational force acts. In the 69th embodiment, the upper and lower surfaces of the projecting portion 10422 can be brought into contact with the notch portion 10060h at the back surface side portion where the game nail YK is driven. Therefore, the surfaces can be brought into contact with each other against the rotational force that pushes down the head side of the game nail YK, centering on the connecting portion between the game nail YK and the first winning member 2400. Therefore, it is possible to disperse the force by contacting the impacts of the game balls with each other. As a result, it is possible to prevent the first winning member 10400 from being damaged.

Next, the 70th embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. 279. In the 61st embodiment, the case where the first winning member 2400 is directly fixed to the base plate 60 has been described, but in the first winning member 10400 of the 70th embodiment, the rubber collar GC is interposed and the base plate is interposed. It is indirectly attached to 60. The same parts as those of the above-described embodiments are designated by the same reference numerals, and the description thereof will be omitted.

FIG. 279 (a) is an exploded perspective front view of the first winning member 11400 and the base plate 60 in the 70th embodiment, and FIG. 279 (b) is a cross-sectional view of the first winning member 11400 and the base plate 60. .. The cross-sectional view of FIG. 279 (b) corresponds to the cross-sectional view of FIG. 274 (b). Further, in FIGS. 279 (a) and 279 (b), the outer shapes of the first winning member 11400 and the base plate 60 are shown in a simplified manner.

As shown in FIG. 279, the base plate 60 in the 70th embodiment is connected to a recessed portion 2060c recessed downward from the lower side of the central opening of the base plate 60 and the recessed portion 2060c, and the base plate 60 is connected to the recessed portion 2060c. It is mainly provided with a recessed portion 2060d formed in a recessed portion on the front surface of the above.

Further, the outer peripheral surface (gap forming surface 11060d5) of the recessed portion 2060d in the front view is formed as an inclined surface inclined outward toward the front side. As a result, a gap can be formed between the first winning member 11400 and the recessed portion 2060d facing each other. The recessed portion 2060d is formed with a fastening hole 6060d4 that is penetrated in the front-rear direction and has a female screw formed on the inner surface. As a result, the first winning member 11400 can be fastened to the base plate 60.

The winning opening unit 11300 includes a first winning member 11310 arranged inside the recess 2060c of the base plate 60, a first winning member 10400 thereof, and a second winning member 2500 arranged on the front side of the base plate 60. (See FIG. 261).

The first winning member 11400 is formed from a main body portion 11410 formed of a horizontally long rectangular plate-like body in a front view, a bulging portion 2420 bulging from the back side of the main body portion 11410, and a main body portion 11410 side (front side). It is formed mainly with a game nail YK to be driven.

The main body portion 11410 is formed of a horizontally long rectangular plate-like body in front view, and includes an insertion hole 11418 formed coaxially with the fastening hole 6060d4 of the base plate 60. The insertion hole 11418 is a hole through which the screw N3 for fastening the first winning member 11400 is inserted. The insertion hole 11418 is formed by expanding the diameter on the front side, and the head on the large diameter side of the rubber collar GC, which will be described later, can be inserted into the insertion hole 11418. Further, the inner diameter of the insertion hole 11418 is formed to be larger than the outer diameter of the body portion on the small diameter side of the rubber collar GC. As a result, the small diameter side of the rubber collar GC can be inserted inside the insertion hole 11418.

The rubber collar GC is formed in an annular shape, and has a large diameter portion that expands outward on one side in the axial direction of the body portion. The rubber collar GC is formed of a rubber-like elastic body, and can be elastically deformed by the action of an external force. Further, one rubber collar GC is arranged on the front side and one on the back side of the insertion hole 11418 of the first winning member 11400, and the small diameter side (body portion) is inserted inside the insertion hole 11418.

The first winning member 11400 has a rubber collar GC arranged inside the insertion hole 11418, and the screw N3 is inserted from the front side and screwed into the fastening hole 6060d4 of the base plate 60 to form the base plate 60. It is attached. Therefore, an elastic member (rubber collar GC) can be provided between the first winning member 11400 and the base plate 60.

As described above, the base plate 60 is formed with a gap forming surface 11060d5, and a gap is formed between the recessed portion 2060d and the first winning member 11400, so that the elastic displacement of the elastic member (color member GC) is formed. As a result, it is possible to suppress the collision between the first winning member 11400 when the first winning member 11400 is displaced relative to the base plate 60.

According to the winning opening unit 11300 configured as described above, when the game nail YK of the first winning member 11400 is broken or the game nail YK falls out of the first winning member 11400. After removing the first winning member 2400 from the base plate 60, the defective first winning member 11400 can be removed and a new (normal) first winning member 11400 can be attached for repair.

Further, as described above, a rubber collar GC made of a material having an elastic modulus smaller than that of the base plate 60 and the first winning member 11400 is provided, and the first winning member 11400 is arranged on the base plate 60 via the rubber collar GC. Therefore, the elastic deformation of the rubber collar GC can be used to facilitate the relative displacement of the first winning member with respect to the base plate 60. That is, due to the relative displacement (elastic deformation), it is possible to absorb the external force caused by the collision of the game ball with the game nail YK and suppress the damage of the first winning member 11400.

Further, since the gap forming surface 11060d5 is formed so as to be inclined outward toward the front side as described above, the gap forming surface 11060d5 on the lower side of the first winning member 11400 is lowered toward the outside (front surface). It can be an inclined surface. Therefore, dust and the like between the first winning member 11400 and the base plate 60 can be dropped to the front side by using the downward inclination of the gap forming surface 11060d5. Therefore, it is possible to prevent dust and the like from being clogged between the first winning member 11400 and the base plate 60 and hindering the movement of the first winning member 11400.

Further, the head of the screw N3 can be brought into close contact with the rubber collar GC. Therefore, since the screw N3 can be made difficult to rotate, it is possible to prevent the screw N3 from rotating and loosening due to the impact of the game ball colliding with the game nail YK or the like.

Further, since the rubber collar GC is formed in a substantially tubular shape and is interposed between the through hole and the shaft of the screw N3, the first winning member 11400 is displaced relative to the base plate 60 in the displacement direction. The degree of freedom can be increased. That is, it can be easily displaced not only in the direction orthogonal to the axis of the screw N3 but also in the direction inclined to the axis of the screw N3 (pry direction). As a result, it is possible to absorb the external force caused by the collision of the game ball with the game nail YK and suppress the damage of the first winning member 11400.

Further, since the rubber collar GC disposed on the back side of the first winning member 11400 has a large diameter portion interposed between the base plate 60 and the first winning member 11400, the base plate 60 and the first winning member 11400 are interposed. The member 11400 can be connected only by the rubber collar GC (that is, a portion consisting of only the rubber collar GC can be formed in at least a part of the vibration transmission path from the first winning member 11400 to the base plate 60). Therefore, the first winning member 11400 can be easily displaced relative to the base plate 60, and the external force due to the collision of the game ball with the game nail YK can be easily absorbed.

Further, the screw N3 can be relatively displaced in the axial direction, and the degree of freedom in the relative displacement direction of the first winning member 11400 with respect to the base plate 60 can be increased. Therefore, from this point as well, it is possible to easily absorb the external force caused by the collision of the game ball with the game nail YK.

Further, by interposing the outer diameter portion of the rubber collar GC between the base plate 60 and the first winning member 11400, it is possible to prevent the first winning member 11400 from tilting with respect to the base plate 60 due to its own weight. .. In particular, it is particularly effective when the rubber color GC deteriorates (when it is settled) with time.

Next, the 71st embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 280 and 281. In the 61st embodiment, the case where the entire front surface of the first winning member 2400 is formed as a flat surface has been described, but the front surface of the first winning member 12400 in the 71st embodiment is partially formed of the base plate 60. It is projected to the front side. The same parts as those of the above-described embodiments are designated by the same reference numerals, and the description thereof will be omitted.

FIG. 280 (a) is an exploded perspective front view of the first winning member 12400 according to the 71st embodiment, and FIG. 280 (b) is an exploded top view of the first winning member 12400 of FIG. 280 (a). FIG. 281 (a) is a top view of the first winning member 12400, and FIG. 281 (b) is a partially enlarged top view of the first winning member 12400 in the range CCLXXXIb of FIG. 281 (a).

As shown in FIGS. 280 and 281, the first winning member 12400 in the 71st embodiment bulges from the main body portion 12410 formed of a horizontally long rectangular plate-like body in front view and the back side of the main body portion 12410. It is mainly provided with a bulging portion 2420 and a game nail YK driven from the front side of the main body portion 12410.

The main body portion 12410 is formed of a horizontally long rectangular plate-like body in front view, and mainly includes a through hole 2413 through which a countersunk screw N2 is inserted and an annular portion 12419 protruding from the periphery of the hole into which the game nail YK is driven toward the front side. Formed in preparation for.

Therefore, the first winning member 11400 is formed so as to be able to suppress damage due to the action of the external force on the game nail YK. Therefore, when the external force is applied to the game nail YK due to the collision of the game balls, the first winning member 10400 Can be prevented from being damaged.

That is, since the first winning member 12400 includes a ring portion 12419 that protrudes from the main body portion 12420 in which the game nail YK is planted and surrounds the root of the game nail YK, the rigidity of the portion that holds the game nail YK is increased. It can be enhanced by the annular portion 12419. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the first winning member from being damaged when an external force is applied to the game nail due to the collision of the game ball.

The inner diameter of the annular portion 12419 is set to be substantially the same as or slightly smaller than the outer diameter of the tip portion of the game nail YK. Further, the width dimension L4 from the inner edge to the outer edge of the annular portion 12419 (see FIG. 281 (b)) and the protruding dimension L5 toward the front surface side of the annular portion 12419 (see FIG. 281 (b)) are an annulus. The outer surface of the portion 12419 is set to a size located in the inner space N (see FIG. 281 (b)) in a state where the game ball T is in contact with the front surface of the first winning member 12400 and the game nail YK. .. In the present embodiment, the width dimension L4 from the inner edge to the outer edge and the protrusion dimension L5 to the front surface side of the annular portion 12419 are set to be substantially the same (L4 = L5).

As a result, it is possible to prevent the game ball T from colliding with the annular portion 12419. As a result, it is possible to prevent the game ball flowing down the game area from colliding with the annular portion 12419 and damaging the annular portion 12419. Further, the area for supporting the game nail YK can be increased by the amount that the annular portion 12419 protrudes to the front side. As a result, it is possible to prevent the game ball T flowing down the game area from colliding with the game nail YK and damaging the first winning member 12400.

That is, since the annular portion 12419 is located closer to the first winning member 12400 than the outer surface of the gaming ball in contact with the game nail YK and the planting surface 12419, the gaming ball T collides with the annular portion 12419. It is possible to prevent the annular portion 12419 from being damaged.

Further, an inclined portion 12419a whose diameter increases toward the front surface side is formed on the inner edge of the protruding tip portion of the annular portion 12419. Thereby, when the game nail YK is driven into the first winning member 12400, the tip of the game nail YK can be guided to the inside of the annular portion 12419.

Here, the first winning member 12400 is formed of a member different from the base plate 60, and is a new (normal) first when the game nail YK is broken or the game nail YK falls out of the first winning member 12400. 1 It can be replaced with a winning member 12400. Therefore, when forming a replacement part for the first winning member 12400, the work of driving the game nail YK only into the first winning member 12400 is performed.

Since the first winning member 12400 is a smaller part than the base plate 60, it is necessary to reliably position the first winning member 12400 when driving the game nail YK. Therefore, there is a risk that the jig for driving the game nail YK into the first winning member 12400 will be complicated.

On the other hand, in the 71st embodiment, since the inclined portion 12419a is formed, it is possible to absorb the misalignment when driving the game nail YK into the first winning member 12400. As a result, it is possible to simplify the jig for driving the game nail YK into the first winning member 12400.

Further, the front-rear direction (front-back direction in FIG. 281 (b)) of the inclined portion 12419a is set smaller than the protruding dimension of the annular portion 12419. Therefore, by forming the annular portion 12419, it is possible to prevent the first winning member 12419 from being damaged and to simplify the jig for driving the game nail YK into the first winning member 12400.

Further, since the cross-sectional area of the annular portion 12419 is increased toward the main body portion 12410 side and toward the main body portion 12410 side, the game nail YK is prevented from colliding with the annular portion 12419. It is possible to further increase the rigidity of the portion that holds the. That is, both the damage of the ring portion 12419 caused by the game nail YK directly colliding with the ring portion 12419 and the damage of the first winning member 12410 caused by the game ball T colliding with the game nail YK are effectively performed. Can be suppressed.

The cross-sectional area of the annular portion 12419 means a cross section obtained by cutting the annular portion 12419 on a plane orthogonal to the planting direction of the game nail YK. In this case, the cross-sectional shape of the annular portion is arbitrary, and examples thereof include a circular shape, an elliptical shape, and a polygonal shape. However, the cross-sectional shape of the annular portion 12419 is preferably formed in a circular shape. This is because the volume of the annular portion 12419 can be maximized and its rigidity can be further increased while avoiding a collision with the game ball.

Next, the 72nd embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 282 and 283. In the 61st embodiment, the case where the second winning member 2400 is attached from the front side of the base plate 60 has been described, but in the 72nd embodiment, the second winning member 13400 is attached from the back side of the base plate 60. The same parts as those of the above-described embodiments are designated by the same reference numerals, and the description thereof will be omitted.

282 (a) is a cross-sectional view of the game board 13 according to the 72nd embodiment, and FIG. 282 (b) is a cross-sectional view of the game board 13 in the CCLXXXIIb-CCLXXXIIb line of FIG. 282 (a). FIG. 283 is an exploded perspective front view of the game board 13. In addition, in FIG. 282 and FIG. 283, the state in which the second winning member 2500 is removed is shown. Further, in FIGS. 282 and 283, the outer shapes of the first winning member 13400 and the base plate 60 are shown in a simplified manner.

As shown in FIGS. 282 and 283, the base plate 60 in the 72nd embodiment is recessed from the back side (upper side in FIG. 282 (b)) to the front side (lower side in FIG. 282 (b)). It is formed with 13060d. The recessed portion 13060d is formed large in the left-right direction in a stepwise manner toward the back surface side, and is located on the back side of the first accommodating portion 13060d7 located on the front side and the first accommodating portion 13060d7 and the base plate 60. It is mainly provided with a second accommodating portion 13060d8 connected to the back surface of the.

The first accommodating portion 13060d7 is a recess for accommodating the main body portion 13410 of the first winning member 13400, which will be described later, and is formed to have an outer shape slightly larger than the outer shape of the main body portion 13410 in front view. Further, the depth dimension of the first accommodating portion 13600d7 in the front-rear direction (vertical direction in FIG. 282 (b)) is formed to be substantially the same as or slightly larger than the thickness dimension in the front-rear direction of the main body portion 13410. As a result, when the first winning member 13400 is arranged inside the recessed portion 2060c, it is possible to prevent the main body portion 13410 from protruding toward the second accommodating portion 13060d8.

The second accommodating portion 13060d8 is a recess for accommodating the back member 13700, which will be described later, and is formed to have an outer shape slightly larger than the outer shape of the back member 13700 in the front view. Further, the depth dimension of the second accommodating portion 13060d8 in the front-rear direction (vertical direction in FIG. 282 (b)) is formed to be substantially the same as or slightly larger than the thickness dimension in the front-rear direction of the back member 13700.

The back member 13700 is formed in a horizontally long rectangle when viewed from the front, and is integrally formed with the center frame 86. The longitudinal dimension of the back member 13700 is formed larger than the longitudinal dimension of the main body 13410 of the first winning member 13400.

The first winning member 13400 has a main body portion 13410 formed of a horizontally long rectangular plate-like body in front view, a bulging portion 7420 that bulges from the front side of the main body portion 13410, and a bulging portion 7420 side (front side) thereof. ) Is mainly provided with a game nail YK to be driven.

The main body portion 13410 is formed with fastening holes 8415 at both left and right ends for screwing screws for fastening the first winning member 13400 to the base plate 60. As a result, the first winning member 13400 and the base plate 60 can be fastened and fixed by inserting the countersunk screw N2 into the through hole 7060e of the base plate 60 and screwing it into the fastening hole 8415.

In this case, the first winning member 13400 is attached to the base plate 60 before the center frame 86 is attached to the base plate 60. That is, after the first winning device 13400 is fastened and fixed (arranged) to the base plate 60, the center frame 86 is attached to the base plate 60. As a result, the first winning member 13400 is arranged (sandwiched) between the front surface of the first accommodating portion 13060d7 of the base plate 60 and the front surface of the back surface member 13700. Further, the bottom surface of the center frame 86 faces the upper end surface of the first winning member 13060d7.

According to the game board 13 configured as described above, the center frame 86 is used as the base plate 60 when the game nail YK of the first winning member 13400 is broken or when the game nail YK falls out of the first winning member 13400. It can be repaired by removing the defective first winning member 13400 and attaching a new (normal) first winning member 13400.

Here, the first game board member (base plate 60) and the second game board member (first winning member 13400) that is fastened and fixed to the first game board member to form a game board together with the first game board member are attached. The equipped game machine is known. According to such a game machine, the second game board member can be attached to and detached from the game board. Therefore, when a failure or damage occurs in the second game board member, it is possible to replace only the second game board member and eliminate the need for replacement of the game board as a whole. However, in the above-mentioned conventional game machine, for example, due to vibration accompanying the game, the fastening and fixing of the second game board member to the first game board member may be released (loose), and in that case, Has a problem that the second game board member may fall off from the first game board member.

On the other hand, in the 72nd embodiment, the removal of the first winning member 13400 from the base plate 60 can be restricted, so that, for example, the fastening and fixing of the first winning member 13400 to the base plate 60 is released (loose). Even in this case, it is possible to prevent the first winning member 13400 from falling off from the first winning member 13400.

That is, when the center frame 86 is arranged on the base plate 60, the bottom surface and the back surface member 13700 of the center frame 86 are positioned at positions where the movement of the first winning member 13400 in the removal direction (upward and back side) can be restricted. Arranged. As a result, even if the fastening and fixing of the first winning member 13400 to the base plate 60 is released, the first winning member 13400 will fall off from the base plate 60 by using the center frame 86 (rear member 13700). Can be suppressed.

Since the back member 13700 is arranged on the inner side surface of the base plate 60 on the lower edge side of the central opening, even if the holding (for example, fastening and fixing) of the back member 13700 with respect to the base plate 60 is released, the back member can be held. By utilizing its own weight, it can be maintained in a state of being placed on the inner surface on the lower edge side of the central opening. That is, it is possible to maintain the state in which the back member 13700 is arranged at a position where the movement of the first winning member 13400 in the removal direction can be restricted. As a result, it is possible to prevent the first winning member 13400 from falling off from the base plate 60.

Next, the 73rd embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 284 and 285. In the 61st embodiment, the case where the second winning member 2500 is arranged on the front side of the first winning member 2400 has been described, but the first winning member 14400 of the 73rd embodiment has the second winning member on the front side. In addition to the 2500 being disposed, the passage forming member 13800 is disposed in an engaged state. The same parts as those of the above-described embodiments are designated by the same reference numerals, and the description thereof will be omitted.

FIG. 280 is an exploded perspective front view of the game board 13 and the passage forming member 13800 in the 73rd embodiment. 281 (a) and 281 (b) are cross-sectional views of the game board 13 and the passage forming member 13800. Note that FIGS. 281 (a) and 281 (b) correspond to the cross-sectional views of FIG. 264 (b). Further, FIG. 281 (a) shows a state in which the passage forming member 13800 is attached to the game board 13, and FIG. 281 (b) shows a state in which the passage forming member 13800 is attached to the game board 13. .. In FIG. 280, the second winning member 13500 is not shown, and the outer shape is shown by a chain line.

As shown in FIGS. 284 and 285, the first winning member 14400 in the 73rd embodiment has a main body portion 2410 formed of a horizontally long rectangular plate-like body in front view and a back side side of the main body portion 2410 (FIG. 285 (FIG. 285). a) A bulging portion 2420 bulging from the left side) and a game nail YK driven from the front side of the main body portion 2410 are mainly provided.

The bulging portion 2420 includes a recessed portion 14423a. The recessed portion 14423a is recessed upward (upper in FIG. 285 (a)) on the lower surface (lower surface in FIG. 285 (a)) of the base side (right side in FIG. 285 (a)) of the bulging portion 2420. Izue.

The recessed portion 14423a is a recess into which the protruding portion 14812 of the passage member 14800, which will be described later, is inserted, and the inner shape is set to be substantially the same as the outer shape of the protruding portion 14812. Further, the concave dimension of the recessed portion 14423a is set to be larger than the protruding dimension of the protruding portion 14812. Therefore, the protruding portion 14812 can be inserted inside the recessed portion 14423a.

The passage member 14800 is formed in a rectangular parallelepiped having an outer shape long in the vertical direction and has an internal space inside the rectangular parallelepiped. The passage member 14800 is formed mainly provided with an opening 14811 capable of communicating the internal space and the outside at the upper end portion on the front side (first winning member 14400 side) and a projecting portion 14812 protruding upward from the upper end surface. To.

The opening 14811 is formed on the back side (left side of FIG. 285 (b)) of the first winning opening 64 in a state where the passage member 14800 is arranged on the game board 13. As a result, the game ball thrown from the first winning opening 64 to the back side can be thrown inside the passage member 14800 through the opening 14811.

The projecting portion 14812 is formed so as to project upward (upper in FIG. 285 (b)) from the end on the opening 14811 side (right side in FIG. 285 (b)). To insert the protruding portion 14812 into the recessed portion 14423a, the passage member 14800 is positioned on the back side of the base plate 60 and displaced upward while the first winning member 14400 is arranged on the base plate 60. It is done in.

The passage member 14800 is attached to the base plate 60 by inserting a screw (not shown) from the back surface side and screwing the screw into the back surface side of the base plate 60.

According to the game board 13 configured as described above, the passage member 14800 was removed when the game nail YK of the first winning member 14400 was broken or when the game nail YK fell out of the first winning member 14400. Later, it can be repaired by removing the defective first winning member 13400 and attaching a new (normal) first winning member 14400.

Here, assuming that the first winning member 14400 can be removed only from the front side, when the front frame 14 is opened due to the player's fraudulent act, it is replaced with the first winning member 14400 or the like brought in by the player. It becomes easy to be done.

On the other hand, the projecting portion 14812 is formed in the first winning member 14400, the recessed portion 14423a capable of receiving the projecting portion 14812 is recessed in the passage member 14800, and the projecting portion 14812 is recessed. By engaging with the portion 14423a, the movement of the first winning member 14400 in the removal direction is restricted, so that the protruding portion 14812 can be shielded from the outside by the recessed portion 14423a. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the protrusion 14812 and the recess 14423a from being illegally disengaged.

Further, as described above, since the passage member 14800 is attached to the back surface of the base plate 60 from the back surface side of the game board 13 by a screw (not shown), it is possible to prevent fraudulent removal of the first winning member 14400.

That is, since the protruding portion 14812 of the first winning member 14400 and the recessed portion 14423a of the passage member 14423 are engaged with each other via the recessed portion 2060c, the base plate 60 is used to reach the passage member 14423 from the front. It can be difficult to access. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the protrusion 14812 and the recess 14423a from being illegally disengaged.

Further, since the first winning member 14400 can be in a state of engaging with the passage member 14800, when the countersunk screw N2 for fastening and fixing the first winning member 14400 to the base plate 60 is disengaged by an impact or the like, the first winning member 14400 is first. It is possible to prevent the winning member 14400 from moving to the front side or the back side of the base plate 60 and falling off from the base plate 60.

Next, the first winning member 15400 in the 74th embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. 286. In the 61st embodiment, the case where the first winning member 2400 is only fastened and fixed to the base plate 60 has been described, but in the 74th embodiment, the hook portion 15431 of the first winning member 15400 engages with the base plate 60. Will be done. The same parts as those of the above-described embodiments are designated by the same reference numerals, and the description thereof will be omitted.

FIG. 286 (a) is a perspective front view of the first winning member 15400 according to the 74th embodiment, and FIG. 286 (b) is a cross-sectional view of the game board 13. Note that FIG. 286 (b) corresponds to the cross-sectional view of FIG. 263 (c), and shows a state in which the second winning member 2500 is removed.

As shown in FIG. 286, the first winning member 15400 in the 74th embodiment has a main body portion 2410 formed of a horizontally long rectangular plate-like body in front view and a back side side (upper side of FIG. 286 (b)) of the main body portion 2410. ), And a game nail YK driven from the front side of the main body 2410.

The bulging portion 2420 projects toward the back surface side (upper side of FIG. 286 (b)) of both ends in the longitudinal direction of the main body portion 2410 (FIG. 286 (b) left-right direction), and the protruding tip thereof protrudes in the longitudinal direction of the main body portion 2410 (FIG. 286 (b) left and right direction). FIG. 286 (b) left-right direction) A hook-shaped portion 15431 having a shape that is bent outward is provided.

The hook-shaped portion 15431 is arranged at a position where the tip thereof overlaps the back surface side (above FIG. 286 (b)) of the base plate 60 in a state where the first winning member 15400 is arranged on the base plate 60. Therefore, the first winning member 15400 can be in a state of being engaged with the base plate 60. Therefore, when the countersunk screw N2 for fastening the first winning member 15400 to the base plate 60 comes off due to an impact or the like, the first winning member 15400 falls to the front side (lower side in FIG. 286 (b)) of the base plate 60. Can be prevented. As a result, when the countersunk screw N2 comes off during the player's game, the player can continue the game.

The hook-shaped portion 15431 is formed at a position substantially the same height as the through hole 2413 formed above the four through holes 2413 formed in the main body portion 2410, and the back surface of the bent portion of the protruding tip is formed. (The lower surface of FIG. 286 (b)) is formed at a position overlapping the axis of the through hole 2413. That is, the back surface of the bent portion of the hook-shaped portion 15431 closes the through hole 2413 that opens in the base plate 60.

Further, in the hook-shaped portion 15431, an inclined surface 15431a is formed on the outer surface of the protruding tip (the outer surface in the longitudinal direction of the main body portion 2410). The inclined surface 15431a is formed so as to be inclined so as to have a narrower width toward the protruding tip.

As a result, when the first winning member 15400 is arranged on the base plate 60, it can be inserted and arranged from the front side of the base plate 60. That is, since the hook-shaped portion 15431 is bent in the longitudinal direction of the main body portion 2410 (left-right direction in FIG. 286 (b)) as described above, the width dimension of the bulging portion 2420 in the longitudinal direction of the main body portion 2410 is the base plate 60. Since it is made larger than the distance dimension between the facing portions of the recessed portions 2060c, the hook-shaped portion 15431 cannot be inserted between the facing portions of the recessed portions 2060c when the first winning member 15400 is arranged. Since the inclined surface 15431 is formed on the portion 15431, the hook-shaped portion 15431 can be elastically deformed inward by bringing the inclined surface 15431a into contact with the wall surface of the recessed portion 2060c, and the first winning member 15400 can be formed. Can be inserted and arranged from the front side of the base plate 60.

Therefore, with the attachment of the first winning member 15400 to the base plate 60, the base plate 60 and the first winning member 15400 are directly engaged with each other via the hook-shaped portion 15431a, and the first winning member 15400 moves in the removal direction. Therefore, it is not necessary to separately perform a step for preventing the first winning member 15400 from falling off. Therefore, the replacement work of the first winning member 15400 can be simplified, and it is possible to prevent forgetting to carry out the step for preventing the first winning member 15400 from falling off.

Further, since the hook-shaped portion 15431 is formed on the first winning member 15400, when the first winning member 15400 is replaced, a new hook-shaped portion 15431 can be used along with the replacement. That is, in the configuration in which the hook-shaped portion 16541 is arranged on the base plate 60 and the claw portion is engaged with the first winning member 15400, the elastic deformation of the hook-shaped portion 16541 is repeated as the number of replacements increases, and the elastic force is increased. Since it is lowered, the engagement is easily disengaged. On the other hand, according to the 74th embodiment, even when the number of replacements is increased, a new hook-shaped portion 15431 can be used for each replacement, so that the reliability of engagement can be ensured.

On the other hand, when the first winning member 15400 is removed from the base plate 60, as described above, the end portion of the hook-shaped portion 15431 on the bent tip side is formed at the same height position as the hook-shaped portion 15431. Since it is formed at a position overlapping the shaft of the 2413, after removing the countersunk screw N2 for fastening the first winning member 15400 and the base plate 60, the through hole 2413 of the first winning member 15400 has an outer shape larger than the through hole 2413. By inserting a small cylindrical jig, the hook-shaped portion 15431 can be elastically deformed and removed.

That is, for example, it is not necessary to open the game board 13 and disengage the hook-shaped portion 15431 from the back side thereof, and disengage the hook-shaped portion 15431 while keeping the game board 13 closed. it can. Therefore, the workability of the work of removing the first winning member 15400 from the game board 13 can be improved, that is, it is not necessary to open the game board 13 in order to disengage the hook-shaped portion 15431. With the game board 13 closed, the replacement of the first winning member 15400 can be completed from the front.

Further, in the normal game state, the inside of the hole for disengaging the hook-shaped portion 15431a can be hidden from the player, so that the design of the game board 13 can be ensured.

Next, the first winning member 16400 in the 75th embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. 287. In the 61st embodiment, the case where the back surface side of the bulging portion 2420 of the first winning member 2400 is arranged on substantially the same plane as the back surface of the base plate 60 has been described, but in the 75th embodiment, the first winning member The bulging portion 16420 of 16400 projects toward the back surface side of the base plate 60. The same parts as those of the above-described embodiments are designated by the same reference numerals, and the description thereof will be omitted.

287 (a) and 287 (b) are cross-sectional views of the game board 13 and the front frame 14 in the 75th embodiment. In addition, in FIG. 287 (a) and FIG. 287 (b), the illustration of the second winning member 2500 is omitted. Further, FIGS. 287 (a) and 287 (b) correspond to the cross-sectional views of FIG. 263 (c). Further, FIG. 287 (a) shows a state in which the first winning member 16400 is attached to the base plate 60, and FIG. 287 (b) shows a state in which the first winning member 16400 is removed from the base plate 60. Will be done.

As shown in FIG. 287 (a), in the 75th embodiment, the first winning member 16400 has a main body portion 2410 formed of a horizontally long rectangular plate-like body in a front view, and a back surface side of the main body portion 2410 (FIG. It is mainly provided with a bulging portion 16420 that bulges from the upper side of 287 (a) and a game nail YK that is driven from the front side of the main body portion 2410.

The bulging portion 16420 is formed so as to bulge on the back side of the main body portion 2410, and the width dimension L7 (see FIG. 287 (a)) in the front-rear direction (FIG. 287 (a) vertical direction) is formed on the base plate 60. The distance dimension L8 (see FIG. 287 (a)) from the head of the game nail YK to the glass unit 16 of the front frame 14 in the state where the first winning member 16400 is arranged is set larger (L7> L8).

Therefore, as shown in FIG. 287 (b), the countersunk screws N1 and N2 for fastening the first winning member 16400 and the second winning member 2500 to the base plate 60 are disengaged, and the first winning member 16400 is on the front side (FIG. 287). (B) When displaced to the lower side), it is possible to prevent the first winning member 16400 from slipping out of the base plate 60 and falling.

More specifically, since the width dimension L7 of the bulging portion is set to be larger than the distance dimension L8 from the head of the game nail YK to the glass unit 13, the head of the game nail YK and the glass unit 13 come into contact with each other. When the first winning member 16400 is displaced by the maximum distance, at least a part of the bulging portion 16420 can be positioned between the recessed portions 2060c facing each other. As a result, even when the fastening and fixing of the first winning member 16400 to the base plate 60 is released, it is possible to prevent the first winning member 16400 from falling off from the base plate 60 by using the glass unit 13.

Further, in this case, the tip of the game nail YK of the first winning member 16400 is brought into contact with the glass unit 13, so that the first winning member 16400 can be prevented from falling off from the base plate 60. That is, the thickness dimension (dimension in the removal direction) of the first winning member 16400 can be reduced by the amount that the length of the game nail YK can be used.

Next, the 76th embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 288 and 289. In the 61st embodiment, the case where the first winning member 2400 is only fastened and fixed to the base plate 60 has been described, but in the 76th embodiment, the ball plunger 17450 of the first winning member 17400 is engaged with the center frame 86. It fits. The same parts as those of the above-described embodiments are designated by the same reference numerals, and the description thereof will be omitted.

FIG. 288 is an exploded perspective front view of the game board 13 according to the 76th embodiment. FIG. 289 (a) is a front view of the game board 13, and FIG. 289 (b) is a cross-sectional view of the game board 13 in the CCLXXXIXb-CCLXXXXb line of FIG. 289 (a). In addition, in FIG. 288, the illustration of the center frame 86 is omitted. Further, in FIGS. 288, 289 (a) and 289 (b), the second winning member 2500 is not shown.

As shown in FIGS. 288 and 289, the first winning member 17400 in the 76th embodiment has a main body portion 2410 formed of a horizontally long rectangular plate-like body in front view and a back side of the main body portion 2410 (FIG. 289 (FIG. 289). b) The bulging portion 2420 that bulges from the left side), the ball plunger 17450 arranged on the upper surface side (upper side surface of FIG. 289 (b)) of the main body portion 2410 and the bulging portion 2420, and the front side of the main body portion 2410. It is formed mainly with a game nail YK that is driven from.

The ball plunger 17450 has a holding portion 17451 formed in a tubular shape and one side (lower side of FIG. 289 (b)) being closed, a spherical sphere 17452 arranged inside the holding portion 17451, and a spherical sphere 17452 thereof. It is mainly provided with an elastic spring member 17453 disposed between one of the sphere 17452 and the holding portion 17451.

The holding portion 17451 is formed in a cylindrical shape, and the inner diameter of the other side (upper side of FIG. 289 (b)) on the open side is made smaller than that of the sphere 17452 arranged inside. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the sphere 17452 from coming out from the inside of the holding portion 17451.

The spring member 17453 is a spring formed by being spirally wound, and is arranged in a precompressed state between the sphere 17452 and the bottom surface of the holding portion 17451. As a result, a part of the sphere 17452 can be held in a state of being projected to the outside of the holding portion 17451.

In the ball plunger 17450, the upper end surface (open side surface) of the holding portion 17451 (the upper end surface of FIG. 289 (b)) is flush with the upper surface of the main body portion 2410 and the bulging portion 2420 of the first winning member 17400. Be located. Further, the ball plunger 17450 is arranged at a substantially intermediate position in the longitudinal direction (FIG. 289 (a) left-right direction) of the main body portion 17410, and is substantially intermediate in the front-rear direction (FIG. 289 (b) left-right direction) of the first winning member 2400. Arranged in position.

The center frame 86 includes a bent portion 17086a bent on the back surface side at the lower end portion (lower end portion in FIG. 289 (b)). An inclined surface 17086a1 is formed on the lower surface of the bent portion 17086 so as to be inclined upward toward the back surface side.

Further, the first winning member 17400 is arranged on the base plate 60 in the facing distance dimension L9 from the substantially central position of the inclined surface 17086a1 in the front-rear direction (horizontal direction in FIG. 289 (b)) to the end surface of the opposing base plate 60. It is formed to be smaller than the vertical direction (vertical direction in FIG. 289 (b)) of the first winning member 17400 in the non-existing state. Therefore, when the first winning member 17400 is arranged on the base plate 60, the sphere 17452 can be inserted inside the holding portion 17451.

In this case, since the inclined surface 17086a1 is inclined upward toward the back surface side as described above, the entire first winning member 17400 is moved up to the back surface side (FIG. 289 (b)) by the force of pushing up the sphere 17452 by the spring member 17453. Can be urged on the left side).

Therefore, when the countersunk screw N2 for fastening and fixing the first winning member 17400 to the base plate 60 is removed by an impact or the like, the first winning member 17400 falls to the front side (right side in FIG. 289 (b)) of the base plate 60. Can be suppressed. As a result, when the dish screw N2 comes off during the game, the player can continue the game.

Further, in the ball plunger 17450, since the sphere 17452 is elastically supported by the spring member 17453, the sphere 17452 acts as a mass body in response to the input when the game ball collides with the game nail YK. Can be done. That is, the ball plunger 17450 can function as a dynamic damper. As a result, the vibration caused by the collision of the game ball with the game nail YK can be suppressed, and the damage of the game nail YK and the first winning member 17400 can be suppressed. In particular, the expansion / contraction direction of the spring member 17453 (the direction of elastic support of the sphere 17452) is the vertical direction, which coincides with the falling direction of the game ball (that is, the direction of collision with the game nail YK). It is possible to effectively exert the function (damage prevention) as a dynamic damper against a collision.

Next, the 77th embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 290 to 292. In the 61st embodiment, when the first winning member 2400 is removed from the base plate 60, the work of removing the second winning member 2500 is required. However, in the 77th embodiment, the first winning member 18400 is removed. When removing from the base plate 60, the work of removing the second winning member 2500 is unnecessary. The same parts as those of the above-described embodiments are designated by the same reference numerals, and the description thereof will be omitted.

First, the overall configuration of the game board 13 according to the 77th embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 290 and 291. 290 (a) is a front view of the game board 13 according to the 77th embodiment, and FIG. 290 (b) is a cross-sectional view of the game board 13 in the CCXCb-CCXCb line of FIG. 290 (a). FIG. 291 is an exploded perspective front view of the game board 13. Note that FIG. 291 shows a state in which the center frame 86 is removed. Further, in FIGS. 290 and 291 the outer shapes of the first winning member 18400 and the base plate 60 are shown in a simplified manner.

As shown in FIGS. 290 and 291 the base plate 60 in the 77th embodiment has a recessed portion 18060c recessed downward (downward in FIG. 290 (a)) from the central opening side to which the center frame 86 is attached. The recessed portion 18060c is recessed from the front side (right side of FIG. 290 (b)) to the back side (left side of FIG. 290 (b)) while being connected to both ends in the left-right direction (FIG. 290 (a) left-right direction). It includes a 18060d and a second recessed portion 18060j that is recessed downward in succession to the central portion in the left-right direction of the recessed portion 18060c.

The recessed portion 18060c is formed by being recessed from the central opening side in a horizontally long rectangular shape in front view, and the shape in front view is substantially the same as the shape in rear view of the bulging portion 18420 of the first winning member 18400, which will be described later. Set.

The recessed portion 18060d is formed so as to be continuous with both ends in the left-right direction of the recessed portion 18060c, and is recessed from the front side to the back side of the base plate 60 to a substantially central position in the plate thickness direction. Further, the recessed portion 18060d is a portion for accommodating a part of the main body portion 18410 (a portion protruding downward from the bulging portion 18420) of the first winning member 18400, which will be described later, and is a portion downward from the bulging portion 18420 in a front view. It is recessed downward with a recessed dimension substantially the same as the protruding amount of the protruding main body 18410.

In the recessed portion 18060d, a fastening hole 1860d4 penetrating from the front side to the back side is formed. Inside the fastening hole 18060d4, a female screw for screwing a countersunk screw N2 for fastening and fixing the first winning member 18400 to the base plate 60 is formed.

The second recessed portion 18060j is an opening that allows the game ball that has flowed into the first winning opening 64 of the second winning member 2500 to be distributed to the back side of the base plate 60, and is the first winning opening of the second winning member 2500. It is recessed below 64.

The winning opening unit 18300 is provided on the first winning member 18400 arranged inside the recessed portion 18060c of the base plate 60, and on the front side (right side of FIG. 290 (b)) of the first winning member 18400 and the base plate 60. It is formed from a second winning member 2500 that is arranged.

The first winning member 18400 includes a main body portion 18410 formed of a horizontally long rectangular plate-like body in front view, a bulging portion 18420 that bulges from the back side (left side of FIG. 290 (b)) of the main body portion 18410, and a main body. It is mainly provided with a game nail YK to be driven from the portion 18410 side (front side).

The main body portion 18410 is formed with through holes 18413 formed so as to penetrate in the front-rear direction at both ends in the longitudinal direction (left-right direction in FIG. 290 (a)) of the lower end (lower side in FIG. 290 (a)). To. The through hole 18413 is formed coaxially with the fastening hole 1860d4 formed in the recessed portion 18060d. As a result, the countersunk screw N2 inserted through the through hole 18413 can be screwed into the fastening hole 1860d4 to fasten and fix the first winning member 18400 to the base plate 60.

Further, the through hole 18413 is formed by expanding the diameter toward the front surface side into which the countersunk screw N2 is inserted. As a result, the head of the countersunk screw N2 can be inserted inside the through hole 18413. As a result, when the first winning member 18413 is fastened to the base plate 60, it is possible to prevent the tip of the game nail YK from protruding into the game area.

The upper end of the bulging portion 18420 is formed flush with the upper end of the main body portion 18410, and the lower end of the main body portion 18400 is formed so as to project downward from the lower end of the bulging portion 18420. Further, the bulging portion 18420 is formed over the entire area of the main body portion 18400 in the left-right direction.

The center frame 86 arranged in the central opening of the base plate 60 is a part of the upper end portion of the first winning member 18400 in a state where the first winning member 18400 is arranged in the base plate 60 (FIG. 290 (b). ) It is formed to have a portion (front overhanging portion) that overlaps the upper end portion) and the front-rear direction (left-right direction in FIG. 290 (b)). Therefore, since the movement of the first winning member 18400 in the pulling direction can be regulated by the center frame 86, the shape of the base plate 60 can be simplified and its formation can be facilitated. It is preferable that the second winning member 2500 and the center frame 86 are arranged on both sides in the direction of gravity with the first winning member 18400 interposed therebetween. This is because the shape of the base plate 60 can be simplified.

Further, in the state where the first winning member 18400 is arranged on the base plate 60, the center frame 86 is located at a position separated from the upper end surface of the first winning member 18400 by a predetermined distance from the front overhanging portion to the back side. A protruding portion 18086b is formed.

In the state where the first winning member 18400 is arranged on the base plate 60, the distance dimension L10 (see FIG. 290 (b)) between the protrusion 18086b and the first winning member 18400 facing each other is the first winning member. The area in which the 18400 and the second winning member 2500 overlap in the front-rear direction is set to be larger than the vertical dimension L11 (see FIG. 290 (b)).

Next, a procedure for removing the first winning member 18400 from the base plate 60 will be described with reference to FIG. 292. 292 (a) to 292 (c) are cross-sectional views of the game board 13. It should be noted that FIGS. 292 (a) to 292 (c) correspond to the cross-sectional views of FIG. 290 (b). Further, in FIGS. 292 (a) to 292 (c), transition states when the first winning member 18400 is removed are shown in order.

First, as shown in FIG. 292 (a), when removing the first winning member 18400, the countersunk screw N2 that fastens and fixes the first winning member 18400 to the base plate 60 is removed.

Second, as shown in FIG. 292 (b), the first winning member 18400 is lifted upward with respect to the base plate 60. As described above, the distance dimension L10 between the protrusion 18086b and the first winning member 18400 facing each other is larger than the vertical dimension L11 of the region where the first winning member 18400 and the second winning member 2500 overlap in the front-rear direction. Therefore, by lifting the first winning member 18400 upward, the lower end (lower side of FIG. 292 (b)) of the first winning member 18400 can be positioned above the second winning member 2500.

Therefore, by rotating the lower end of the first winning member 18400 forward from the state shown in FIG. 292 (b), the lower end of the first winning member 18400 is rotated as shown in FIG. 292 (c). Can be positioned in front of the front of the base plate 60. Finally, by pulling out the lower end of the first winning member 18400 in the lateral direction of the main body 18410, the upper end of the first winning member 18400 can be pulled out from the base plate 60. When the first winning member 18400 is attached, the first winning member 18400 can be attached to the base plate 60 by performing the opposite procedure.

Therefore, when the game nail YK of the first prize member 18400 is broken or the game nail YK falls out of the first prize member 18400, the defective first prize member 18400 is removed and a new (normal) first prize member is removed. It can be repaired by installing 18400.

Here, the first game board member (base plate 60) and the second game board member (first winning member 18400) arranged on the first game board member and forming the game board together with the first game board member are formed. The equipped game machine is known. According to such a game machine, since the second game board member is fastened and fixed to the first game board member by a screw member (counter-screw N2), the screw member is illegally removed or carelessly due to vibration during the game. If it is loosened, the second game board member may fall off from the first game board member. On the other hand, the applicant of the present application arranges the second member on the first game board member in a state of being overlapped with a part of the second game board member, so that the overlapped portion engages the two. Utilizing this, we have come up with a technique for suppressing the second game board member from falling off from the first game board member (unknown at the time of filing the application of the present application).

However, in the above-mentioned technique, when the second game board member is replaced, not only the second game board member but also the second member needs to be removed from the game board, which increases the man-hours. , It was found that there is a problem that the replacement work of the second game board member becomes complicated.

On the other hand, according to the 77th embodiment, the first winning member 18400 is removably formed while the second winning member 2500 is held by the base plate 60, so that the man-hours can be suppressed accordingly. The replacement work of the first winning member 18400 can be simplified. That is, since it is not necessary to remove the second winning member 2500 from the base plate 60, not only the man-hours in the process of reattaching the second winning member 2500 are suppressed, but also the operator loses the second winning member 2500. In addition, it is possible to prevent the second winning member 2500 from being attached in the wrong way.

That is, the second winning member 2500 is arranged at a position where the movement of the first winning member 18400 in the pulling direction can be regulated, and the first winning member 18400 is pulled out by moving in an upward direction different from the pulling direction. Since movement in the direction is allowed, the first winning member 18400 can be removed without removing the second winning member 2500 from the base plate 60. Further, the first winning member 18400 can be attached while the second winning member is arranged on the base plate 60. Therefore, the man-hours can be suppressed by that amount, and the replacement work of the first winning member 18400 can be simplified.

Further, since the moving direction when allowing the movement of the first winning member 18400 in the pulling direction is parallel to the gravitational direction, the second winning member 2500 regulates the movement of the first winning member 18400 in the pulling direction. The state in which the first winning member 18400 is arranged at a possible position can be maintained by the own weight (action of gravity) of the first winning member 18400. That is, even if the countersunk screw N2 that fixes the first winning member 18400 to the base plate 60 is illegally removed or unnecessarily loosened due to vibration during the game, the first winning member 18400 takes a part of the second winning member 18400. Since it is maintained at the position where it overlaps with the winning member 2500 (the position where the movement in the pulling direction is restricted), the first winning member 18400 falls off from the base plate 60 due to the engagement of both by the overlapped portion. Can be suppressed.

Further, in the first winning member 18400, the lower end portion of the main body portion 18410 is arranged between the back surface of the base portion 2510 of the second winning member 2500 and the front surface of the recessed portion 18060d, so that the first winning member 18400 is arranged. When the countersunk screw N2 for fastening and fixing the 18400 is removed by an impact or the like, it is possible to prevent the first winning member 18400 from falling to the front side (right side in FIG. 290 (b)) of the base plate 60. As a result, even if the countersunk screw N2 comes off during the game, the player can continue the game.

Next, the 78th embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 294 and 295. In the 61st embodiment, when the first winning member 2400 is removed from the base plate 60, the work of removing the second winning member 2500 is required. However, in the 78th embodiment, the first winning member 19400 is removed. When removing from the base plate 60, the work of removing the second winning member 19500 is unnecessary. The same parts as those of the above-described embodiments are designated by the same reference numerals, and the description thereof will be omitted.

First, the overall configuration of the game board 13 in the 78th embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 293 and 294. FIG. 293 is an exploded perspective front view of the game board 13 according to the 78th embodiment. 294 (a) is a front view of the game board 13, and FIG. 294 (b) is a cross-sectional view of the game board 13 in the CCXCIVb-CCXCIVb line of FIG. 294 (a). Note that FIG. 293 shows a state in which the center frame 86 is removed. Further, in FIGS. 293 and 295, the outer shapes of the first winning member 18400 and the base plate 60 are shown in a simplified manner.

As shown in FIGS. 293 and 294, the winning opening unit 19300 according to the 78th embodiment includes a first winning member 2400 arranged inside the recessed portion 2060c of the base plate 60, and the first winning member 2400 and the first winning member 2400. It is formed from a second winning member 19500 arranged on the front side (right side of FIG. 294 (b)) of the base plate 60.

The second winning member 19500 includes a base portion 19510 formed from a rhombic plate-like body in front view, a ball winning portion 320 projecting from the front side (right side of FIG. 294 (b)) of the base portion 19510, and a base. It is mainly provided with a passage forming member 19330 located on the opposite side of the ball winning portion 320 with the portion 19510 in between.

The size of the base portion 19510 is set to be larger in the left-right direction (left-right direction in FIG. 294 (a)) in the front view than the recessed portion 2060c of the base plate 60. As a result, the base portion 19510 can be arranged on the front side (right side in FIG. 294 (b)) of the recessed portion 2060c, and both ends of the base portion 2510 in the left-right direction can be brought into contact with the front surface of the base plate 60.

The base portion 19510 has an opening 311 opened in the plate thickness direction (left-right direction in FIG. 294 (b)) at a substantially central position in the front view, and a sliding groove 19512 penetrating in the plate thickness direction at both ends in the left-right direction. Formed mainly in preparation.

The sliding groove 19512 is formed so as to extend in the vertical direction (FIG. 294 (a) vertical direction), and its inner surface is inward from the front side to the back side (FIG. 294 (a) the back side of the paper surface). It is formed at an angle. The sliding groove 19512 is an opening through which a countersunk screw N1 for fastening and fixing the second winning member 19500 to the base plate 60 is inserted, and the width dimension of the inner surface is larger than the outer shape of the tip portion (shaft portion) of the countersunk screw N1. It is formed large.

Further, in the sliding groove 19512, a housing portion 19512a formed on an inclined surface having an outer shape larger than the head of the countersunk screw N2 is formed at the lower end portion (lower end portion in FIG. 294 (a)). Further, the accommodating portion 19512a is set on the same axis as the axis of the countersunk screw N2 when the second winning member 19500 is arranged at the arrangement position of the base plate 60 (the position shown in FIG. 294). Thereby, the position where the second winning member 19500 is attached can be positioned. Further, since the sliding groove 19512 extends in the vertical direction, the second winning member 19500 can be moved downward from the position shown in FIG. 294 by weakening the fastening of the countersunk screw N1.

The passage forming member 19330 is formed so as to project from the periphery of the opening 311 of the base member 19310 toward the back surface side. The passage forming member 19330 is formed in a substantially U shape in which the lower side is curved in the rear view, and a space having a size capable of inserting a game ball is formed inside. As a result, the game ball that has flowed into the first winning opening 64 can be thrown to the back side of the passage forming member 19330 and to the passage member 19800 that is communicated with the back side of the passage forming member 19330.

Further, the passage forming member 19330 includes an extension portion 19340 protruding from the rear end of the wall surface on both the left and right sides (left and right sides in FIG. 294 (a)) to the inside of the passage member 19800, which will be described later. The extension portion 19340 is a pair of rod-shaped protrusions 19341 protruding from both ends of the wall surfaces on both left and right sides of the passage forming member 330 to the back surface side (left side in FIG. Is mainly provided with a connecting portion 19342 that connects the two in the left-right direction and a metal body 19343 that is connected to the connecting portion 19342 and extends downward.

The protruding portion 19341 projects from the upper end portion of the passage forming member 19330 toward the back surface side, and the protruding tip side thereof is inserted inside the opening 19811 of the passage member 19800, which will be described later. Further, the protruding portion 19341 is located substantially in the middle of the space in which the protruding tip thereof is formed inside the passage member 19800 in the front-rear direction.

The connecting portion 19342 is formed from a rod-shaped body, and both ends thereof are connected to the protruding tips of the pair of protruding portions 19341, respectively. Further, a groove is formed on the lower surface of the connecting portion 19342 to be connected by press-fitting the metal body 19343 described later. The connection between the connecting portion 19342 and the metal body 19343 is not limited to press-fitting, and may be connected by adhesion, screw fastening, or the like.

The metal body 19343 is a plate member formed of a metal material (iron in the present embodiment), and the width dimension in the left-right direction (FIG. 294 (a) left-right direction) is the width of the internal space of the passage member 19800, which will be described later. It is set smaller than the dimension. Further, the metal body 19343 is arranged in a state of being connected to the connecting portion 19342 and inclined toward the back side (left side of FIG. 294 (b)) toward the lower side (lower side of FIG. 294 (b)).

The metal body 19343 is located above the lower end surface of the passage forming member 19330 in a state where the second winning member 19500 is fastened and fixed to the base plate 60, and is the shortest to the lower surface of the opening 19811 of the passage member 19800. The distance dimension L11 (see FIG. 294 (b)) is set to be larger than the outer diameter of the game ball. As a result, when the game ball that has flowed into the first winning opening 64 of the second winning member 19500 rolls around the passage forming member 19330 and is thrown inside the passage member 19800, the game ball is transferred to the passage forming member 330. It can collide with the front side.

Therefore, it is not necessary to change the throwing direction of the game ball by colliding the game ball with the inner wall of the passage member 19800, so that the passage member 19800 can be prevented from being damaged. Further, since the metal body 19343 is formed of iron and has higher rigidity than the resin forming the passage member 19800, it is possible to prevent the passage member 19800 from being damaged. Further, when the metal body 19343 is damaged, the metal body 19343 can be replaced by removing the countersunk screw N1 that fastens the second winning member 19500 to the base plate 60. Therefore, the repair of the metal body 19343 can be simplified.

The metal body 19343 is not limited to iron. Other members may be used as long as the material is detected by the sensor device SE described later. For example, it may be formed of aluminum, stainless steel, or the like.

The passage member 19800 is formed in a rectangular parallelepiped shape whose outer shape is long in the vertical direction and has an internal space inside thereof. The passage member 19800 is arranged on the upper end side of the inner space of the passage member 19800 extending in the vertical direction and the opening 19811 which is opened at the upper end portion of the front side (right side in FIG. 294 (b)) to communicate the internal space and the outside. It is mainly provided with a sensor device SE.

The opening 19811 is formed on the back side (left side of FIG. 294 (b)) of the first winning opening 64 in a state where the passage member 19800 is arranged on the game board 13. As a result, the game ball thrown from the first winning member 64 to the back side can be thrown to the inside (internal space) of the passage member 19800 through the opening 19811.

The sensor device SE is a member that detects the number of balls of a game ball passing through the inside of the passage member 19800, and has an inner diameter larger than the outer diameter of the game ball and includes an opening that penetrates in the vertical direction.

The passage member 19800 is attached to the base plate 60 by inserting a screw (not shown) from the back surface side and screwing the screw into the back surface side of the base plate 60.

Next, the displacement of the second winning member 19500 will be described with reference to FIG. 295. 295 (a) is a front view of the game board 13, and FIG. 295 (b) is a cross-sectional view of the game board 13 in the CCXCVb-CCXCVb line of FIG. 295 (a). In addition, in FIG. 295 (a) and FIG. 295 (b), the state in which the countersunk screw N1 for fastening the second winning member 19500 to the base plate 60 is loosened is shown.

As shown in FIG. 295, when the countersunk screw N1 for fastening the second winning member 19500 is loosened, the head of the countersunk screw N1 is slightly separated from the front surface of the second winning member 19500, so that the tip side of the countersunk screw N1 ( The shaft portion) can slide inside the sliding groove 19512, and the second winning member 19500 can be displaced downward.

As a result, the first winning member 2400 and the second winning member 19500 can be arranged at positions where they do not overlap in the front-rear direction. Therefore, when the game nail YK of the first prize member 2400 is broken or the game nail YK falls out of the first prize member 2400, the second prize member 19500 is not removed from the base plate 60, and the defective first one. It can be repaired by removing the winning member 2400 and attaching a new (normal) first winning member 2400.

That is, the second winning member 19500 is displaced on the base plate 60 so as to be displaceable between the regulated position that regulates the removal of the first winning member 2400 and the permissible position that allows the removal of the first winning member 2400. , The first winning member 2400 can be removed without removing the second winning member 19500 from the game board 13. Further, the first winning member 2400 can be attached while the second winning member 19500 is arranged on the base member. Therefore, the man-hours can be suppressed by that amount, and the replacement work of the first winning member 2400 can be simplified. Further, since the second winning member 19500 is not removed from the base plate 60, it is possible to prevent forgetting to attach the second winning member 19500 when the first winning member 2400 is replaced.

Further, since the permissible position of the second prize member 19500 that allows the removal of the first prize member 2400 is set below the regulated position in the direction of gravity, the second prize member 19500 is maintained at the permissible position by its own weight. be able to. That is, when the first winning member 2400 is replaced, it is not necessary for the operator to hold the second winning member 19500 in an allowable position. Therefore, the man-hours can be suppressed and the replacement work of the first winning member 2400 can be simplified.

Further, when the second winning member 19500 is displaced downward, the shortest distance dimension L12 (see FIG. 295 (b)) between the front surface of the metal body 19343 and the lower surface of the opening 19811 of the passage member 19800 is set. It is made smaller than the outer diameter of the game ball. This makes it possible to prevent the game ball from passing through the passage member 19800 when the second winning member 19500 is forgotten to be returned to the normal position after the first winning member 2400 is replaced. As a result, it is possible to prevent the player from being able to play in a state in which the player has an advantage.

In addition, as a state in which the player is advantageous, the second winning member 19500 is located below and is separated from the game nail YK driven into the first winning member 2400, and the game ball flowing down the game area. An example is a state in which the first winning opening 64 is won without being hindered by the game nail YK.

Further, when the second winning member 19500 is displaced downward, the metal body 19343 of the extension portion 19340 connected to the second winning member 19500 is moved downward and arranged inside the opening of the sensor device SE. Ru. Since the metal body 19343 is formed of a material that can be detected by the sensor device SE, when the second winning member 19500 is forgotten to be returned to the normal position (position shown in FIG. 294) after the first winning member 2400 is replaced. Can form a state in which the sensor device SE can detect the metal body 19343. Therefore, the pachinko machine 10 can monitor the detection state of the sensor device SE and detect a state in which the second winning member 19500 is forgotten to be returned to the predetermined position if the detection is continued for a predetermined time or longer. As a result, the pachinko machine 10 can notify the clerk of the abnormal state (for example, abnormal sound, special light emission, etc.).

Therefore, when the second winning member 19500 is arranged at the allowable position, the metal body 19343 is arranged at a position that can be detected by the sensor device SE. Therefore, by monitoring the detection state (for example, waveform) by the sensor device SE. , It can be detected that the second winning member 19500 is still in the allowable position (that is, forgotten to return to the regulated position). That is, the time during which the sensor device SE is turned on (or off) when the ball passes is relatively short, while the sensor device is in a state where the second winning member 19500 is left in the allowable position. Since the time during which the SE is turned on (or off) is continued, when the sensor device SE is turned on (or off) for a predetermined time (threshold value), the second winning member 19500 is arranged at an allowable position. It can be judged that it is in the same state.

As a result, it is possible to prevent the second winning member 19500 from being forgotten to be returned to the normal position after the first winning member 2400 is replaced. In addition, even if the countersunk screw N1 is loosened during the game and the second winning member 19500 is displaced downward, the clerk can be notified, so that the player notices that an abnormal state has occurred. Even if it doesn't exist, you can inform the clerk. Therefore, when the countersunk screw N1 is loosened and the second winning member 19500 is in an abnormal position, it is possible to prevent the player from being in a disadvantageous state by continuing the game.

Further, in a state where the detection portion is formed of a metal material and the second winning member 19500 is arranged at the regulated position, a part of the inner wall of the passage through which the game ball passes is formed by the metal body 19343, so that the durability of the passage is durable. It is possible to improve the sex.

It should be noted that a part of the second passage (the game ball flowing down from the first passage is collided) in the first passage and the second passage that is bent and connected to the downstream side of the first passage. The site) is preferably formed of a metal body 193943. This is because it is possible to effectively improve the durability by reinforcing the parts that are easily damaged.

Next, the second winning member 20500 in the 79th embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 296 and 297. In the 61st embodiment, the case where the first winning member 2400 and the second winning member 2500 are removed separately has been described, but in the 79th embodiment, the first winning member 20400 and the second winning member 20500 are removed at the same time. Is done. The same parts as those of the above-described embodiments are designated by the same reference numerals, and the description thereof will be omitted.

296 (a) is a front view of the game board 13 according to the 79th embodiment, and FIG. 296 (b) is a cross-sectional view of the game board 13 in the CCXCVIb-CCXCVIb line of FIG. 296 (a). FIG. 297 is an exploded perspective front view of the game board 13. Note that FIG. 297 shows a state in which the center frame 86 is removed.

As shown in FIGS. 296 and 297, the winning opening unit 20300 according to the 79th embodiment includes a first winning member 20400 disposed inside the recessed portion 2060c of the base plate 60, and the first winning member 20400 and the first winning member 20400. It is formed from a second winning member 20500 arranged on the front side (lower side in FIG. 296 (b)) of the base plate 60.

The first winning member 20400 includes a main body portion 20410 formed of a rectangular plate-like body in front view, a bulging portion 2420 bulging from the back surface side (upper side of FIG. 296 (b)) of the main body portion 20410, and a main body portion. It is mainly provided with a game nail YK to be driven from the 20410 side (front side).

The main body portion 20410 and the bulging portion 2420 are provided with recesses 20432 from the lower side to the upper side at substantially the center position in the left-right direction (FIG. 296 (b) left-right direction). 1 A through hole 2413 is formed through which a countersunk screw N2 for fastening the winning member 20400 to the base plate 60 is inserted.

The recess 20432 is formed to be larger than the left-right direction (left-right direction in FIG. 296 (b)) of the passage forming member 330 of the second winning member 20500, which will be described later, and extends from the front side to the back side of the first winning member 20400. It is formed continuously. Thereby, when the second winning member 20500 is arranged in front of the first winning member 20400, the passage forming member 330 can be inserted and arranged inside the recess 20432.

Further, since the recess 20432 is formed with the lower portion open, the recess 20432 is integrally formed with the base plate 60 by passing through the open portion (that is, the recess 20432 and the engaging portion 20513 described later are engaged). The work of disassembling the first winning member 20400 and the second winning member 20500 removed in step 2 can be easily performed.

The second winning member 20500 includes a base portion 20510 formed from a rhombic plate-like body in front view, a ball winning portion 320 projecting from the front side (lower side in FIG. 296 (b)) of the base portion 2510, and the ball winning portion 320. It is mainly provided with a passage forming member 330 located on the opposite side of the ball winning portion 320 with the base portion 2510 interposed therebetween.

The base portion 2510 is formed with an engaging portion 20513 projecting from the left and right edges on the upper end side of the opening 311 to the back surface side. The engaging portion 20513 is formed above both ends of the passage forming member 330 in the left-right direction (left-right direction in FIG. 296 (b)). Further, the engaging portion 20513 is formed so as to project from the back surface of the base portion 2510 toward the back surface side (upper side in FIG. 296 (b)), and the protruding tip thereof is bent outward in the left-right direction.

Further, the protruding dimension L13 (see FIG. 296 (b)) of the engaging portion 20513 to the back surface side is set to be substantially the same as the thickness dimension in the front-rear direction (vertical direction of FIG. 296 (b)) of the first winning member 20500. To. Further, in the engaging portion 20513, the distance dimension L14 (see FIG. 296 (b)) in the left-right direction on the base end side (base portion 20510 side of the second winning member 20500) is the recess 20432 of the first winning member 20400 described above. The distance dimension L15 (see FIG. 296 (b)) in the left-right direction on the bending tip side is formed to be larger than the facing-to-face dimension of the recess 20432 in the left-right direction. To. As a result, the second winning member 20500 can be engaged with the first winning member 20400.

Further, the engaging portion 20513 has an elastic piece 20513b formed so as to be elastically deformable, a claw portion 20513c protruding from the elastic piece, and an inclined surface 20513a inclined from the back side to the front side toward the tip on the bending side. And are formed. As a result, the inclined surface 20513a of the engaging portion 20513 is brought into contact with the inner wall of the recess 20432, so that the second winning member 20500 can be arranged (inserted) from the front side of the first winning member 20400 and also on the back surface. Upon reaching it, the engaging portion 20513 can be engaged with the first winning member 20400.

According to the winning opening unit 20300 configured as described above, when both of the game nails YK of the first winning member 20300 are broken to replace the first winning member 20400, the second winning member 20500 is used as the base plate 60. The first winning member 20400 can be removed from the base plate 60 by removing it from the base plate 60.

Here, a game machine including a first game board member (base plate 60) and a second game board member that is fastened and fixed to the first game board member to form a game board together with the first game board member is known. ing. According to such a game machine, the second game board member can be attached to and detached from the first game board member. Therefore, if the second game board member breaks down or is damaged, only the second game board member is replaced. Therefore, it is possible to eliminate the need for replacement of the game board as a whole. However, in the above-mentioned conventional game machine, there is a problem that the second game board member is difficult to remove from the first game board member. For example, in the second game board member in which the nail is planted, the operator can remove the second game board member from the game board by grasping the nail, but when the nail is broken, the second game board member can be removed. Since there is no part to be gripped on the second game board member, it becomes difficult to remove it. This problem is particularly remarkable when the second game board member is embedded in the first game board member in such a manner that the game surfaces of the second game board member and the first game board member are flush with each other. Will be.

On the other hand, in the 79th embodiment, when at least the countersunk screw N2 is removed, the first winning member 20400 is formed so that the operator can directly or indirectly grip the first winning member 20400. It can be easily removed.

That is, in the 79th embodiment, since the first winning member 20400 and the second winning member 20500 are arranged in a state of being engaged by the engaging portion 20513, both of the two game nails YK of the first winning member 20400 are arranged. If it breaks, remove the countersunk screws N1 and N2, hold the second winning member 20500 located on the front side from the base plate 60 with a finger, and pull it out to the front side to pull out the first winning member. The 20400 can be removed from the base plate 60 at the same time. As a result, the replacement of the first winning member 20400 can be simplified.

Further, the engaging portion 20513 includes an elastic piece 205013b formed so as to be elastically deformable, and a claw portion 20513c protruding from the elastic piece, and the claw portion 20513c is formed so as to be engageable with the recess 20432. Therefore, even when the first winning member 20400 and the second winning member 20500 are attached separately, the engaging portion 20513 and the recess 20432 can be engaged with each other by utilizing the elastic deformation of the elastic piece 20513b. Therefore, since it is not necessary to attach the first winning member 20400 or the second winning member 20500 to the base plate 60 in an integrated state, the work for attaching the first winning member 20400 and the second winning member 20500 to the base plate 60. It is possible to improve the sex.

Further, when it is necessary to remove the first winning member 20400, the first winning member 20400 can be pulled out from the base plate 60 by holding and pulling out the second winning member 20500 without holding the first winning member 20400 with a finger. Since it can be removed, it is possible to prevent the operator from holding the game nail YK of the first winning member 20400. As described above, since the game nail YK is a place where the game ball is adjusted to a size that can be inserted between the two, the game nail YK is held by a finger when the first winning member 20400 is removed. Therefore, there is a risk that the adjustment will be incorrect (the game nail YK will bend).

On the other hand, in the winning opening unit 20300, since the second winning member 20500 and the first winning member 20400 can be removed at the same time, the first winning member 20400 can be removed from the base plate 60 without holding the game nail YK. Can be removed. Therefore, when the first winning member 20400 is removed, it is possible to prevent the game nail YK from being misaligned (the game nail YK is bent).

Next, the base plate 60 in the 80th embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 298 and 299. In the 61st embodiment, the case where the first winning member 2400 is directly arranged on the base plate 60 has been described, but in the first winning member 2400 of the 80th embodiment, the elastic member 21510 is placed between the first winning member 2400 and the base plate 60.

The outer shape of the recessed portion 25060 in the rear view is formed to be substantially the same as the outer shape of the first winning member 25060. As a result, the first winning member 25400 can be arranged inside the recessed portion 25060d. Further, an insertion hole 25060d3 penetrating in the front-rear direction is formed in the recessed portion 25060d.

The insertion hole 25060d3 is formed in a circular shape in front view, and is formed coaxially with the insertion hole 25418 of the first winning member 25400 in a state where the first winning member 25400, which will be described later, is arranged on the base plate 60. Further, the insertion hole 25418 is formed by expanding the diameter of the insertion hole 25418 so that the front side can accommodate the head of the countersunk screw N2.

The first winning member 25400 is driven from the main body portion 25410 formed of a horizontally long rectangular plate-like body in front view, the bulging portion 25420 bulging from the front side of the main body portion 25410, and the bulging portion 25420 side thereof. It is formed mainly with a game nail YK.

The bulging portion 25420 is formed at a substantially central position in the longitudinal direction of the main body portion 25410 (left-right direction in FIG. 306 (b)), and is formed to have an outer dimension shorter than that of the main body portion 257410 in the longitudinal direction of the main body portion 25410. The main body portion 25410 is formed with insertion holes 25410 that are formed through both ends in the longitudinal direction in the front-rear direction (vertical direction in FIG. 306 (b)).

The insertion hole 25418 is a hole through which the tip of the countersunk screw N2 for fastening and fixing the first winning member 25400 is inserted, and the inner diameter is formed to be larger than the outer diameter of the tip side (shaft portion) of the countersunk screw N2. Further, the shaft of the insertion hole 25418 is formed coaxially with the shaft of the insertion hole 25060d3 formed in the base plate 60. As a result, the countersunk screw N2 can be inserted into the insertion hole 25418 after the insertion hole 25060d3 of the base plate 60 is inserted.

The fastening member 25470 is formed of an iron material and is formed in a horizontally long rectangular plate-like body when viewed from the front. The longitudinal dimension L16 (see FIG. 306 (b)) of the fastening member 25470 is set to be larger than the longitudinal dimension L17 (see FIG. 306 (b)) of the first winning member 25400, and the longitudinal center position is set. It is arranged at the same position in the longitudinal direction center position and the front-rear direction (FIG. 306) of the main body portion 25400.

Further, the fastening member 25470 is set at an intermediate position in the lateral direction (vertical direction in FIG. 306 (a)) on the back side of the connecting portion between the game nail YK and the first winning member 25400, and at both left and right ends. It is provided with a fastening hole 25471 that is formed through in the front-rear direction. It is arranged on the back side of the connecting portion between the game nail YK and the first winning member 25400. That is, the fastening member 25470 can be positioned on the extension line in the planting direction of the game nail YK. Therefore, since the support rigidity of the first winning member 25400 can be effectively increased while suppressing the area of the fastening member 25470, the game nail YK is planted on the front surface of the first winning member 25400 while suppressing the product cost. It is possible to prevent damage such as cracks from occurring in the first winning member 25400 at the time of installation.

A female screw into which the countersunk screw N2 can be screwed is formed in the fastening hole 25471. The fastening hole 25471 has a shaft formed coaxially with the insertion hole 254060d3 of the insertion hole 25418 and the base plate 60 of the first winning member 25400 described above. As a result, the countersunk screw N2 through which the insertion holes 25400d3 and 25418 are inserted can be screwed into the fastening hole 25471 of the fastening member 25470.

Therefore, with the first winning member 25400 arranged on the base plate 60, the countersunk screw N2 is inserted through the insertion hole 25060d3 and the insertion hole 25418 from the front side of the base plate 60 and screwed into the fastening hole 25471. The first winning member 25400 can be fastened and fixed to the base plate 60.

Here, a first game board member (base plate 60) and a second game board member arranged on the first game board member and forming a game board together with the first game board member are provided, and the second game board is provided. A game machine in which a nail (game nail YK) is planted in a member is known. According to such a game machine, the second game board member can be attached to and detached from the game board. Therefore, for example, when the nail of the second game board member is broken, only the second game board member is replaced to play the game. It is possible to eliminate the need to replace the entire board. However, the above-mentioned conventional game machine has a problem that the workability of planting nails is poor. That is, since a step of planting nails in the second game board member is required separately from the step of planting nails in the first game board member, the man-hours are increased accordingly. Further, since the second game board member is relatively small, in order to plant nails in the second game board member within a predetermined tolerance, the holding accuracy of the second game board member is improved and the speed of the planting operation is increased. It is necessary to lower the speed, which increases the man-hours compared to the case of planting nails on a relatively large game board.

On the other hand, according to the 84th embodiment, since the first winning member 25400 pressed from the front side of the base plate 60 is formed so as to be supportable, the first winning member 25400 is arranged on the base plate 60. Then, the game nail YK can be planted in the first winning member 25400. Therefore, it is possible to improve the workability of planting the game nail YK on the first winning member 25400.

In the state where the 25400 is arranged, the first winning member 25400 can be supported by the fastening member 25400 from the back side. Therefore, when the game nail is planted on the game surface of the first prize member 25400, it is possible to prevent the first prize member 25400 from being damaged.

In this case, as described above, the fastening member 25470 is formed so that its longitudinal dimension L16 is smaller than the longitudinal dimension L17 of the main body portion 25410, and is arranged at the center position in the left-right direction of the first winning member 25400. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the fastening member 25470 from riding on the back surface side of the base plate 60. Therefore, the fastening member 25470 can be easily brought into close contact with the back surface of the first winning member 25400, and the support rigidity of the first winning member 25400 by the fastening member 25470 can be increased. As a result, when the game nail YK is planted on the game surface of the first winning member 25400, it is possible to prevent the first winning member 25400 from being damaged such as cracking.

Next, the first winning member 26400 in the 85th embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 307 and 308.

The bottom surface of the recess 27060d10 (the surface on the left side in FIG. 315 (c)) is the back side (left side in FIG. 315 (c)) from the tip of the game nail YK (two-dot chain line in FIG. 315 (c)) driven into the base plate 60. Is arranged in. Further, the inner diameter of the recess 27060d10 is arranged to be about twice the outer diameter of the shaft portion of the game nail YK.

The shaft portion has a circular cross section, and indicates a portion in the range from the tip in the driving direction to the head (a portion formed in a shaft shape).

Further, an elastic member G1 having substantially the same shape as the recess 27060d10 is inserted into the recess 27060d10 when viewed from the front, and the width (dimension) of the elastic member G1 in the thickness direction (left-right direction in FIG. 315 (c)) is the recessed portion. It is formed to be smaller than the distance from the front surface of the 27060d to the front surface of the recess 27060d10. That is, the elastic member G1 is formed as a cylinder having an outer diameter substantially the same as the inner diameter of the recess 27060d10, and the axial length of the cylinder is made smaller than the depth dimension of the recess 27060d10. The elastic member G1 is formed of a rubber-like elastic body.

The through hole 27060a is a game ball thrown into the ball winning portion 320 (see FIG. 316) provided in the second winning member 3500, which will be described later, on the back side (left side of FIG. 315 (c)) of the base plate 60. It is a portion for throwing a ball, and is arranged in the center of the recess 27060d with respect to the left-right direction (the left-right direction of FIG. 315 (b)) on the lower side (lower side of FIG. 315 (b)) of the recess 27060d.

Further, as described above, the through hole 27060a penetrates the base plate 60 in the thickness direction (FIG. 315 (c) left and right direction), and the size of the hole in the front view is a game of a predetermined size (for example, diameter 11 mm). It is formed to a size larger than the diameter of the sphere.

In addition, two fastening holes 60I are arranged below the lower surface of the recessed portion 27060d (lower side in FIG. 315 (b)) and outside the through hole 27060a in the left-right direction (left-right direction in FIG. 315 (b)). Will be set up.

The facing portion 27060l is a portion for suppressing a decrease in the rigidity of the base plate 60, and is formed as a plate-like body that connects (installs) the peripheral edges (opening edges) of the recessed portion 27060d in the base plate 60.

It will be described back from FIG. 311 to FIG. 313. As described above, the positions of the centers of the two recesses 27060d10 in the left-right direction (FIG. 315 (a) left-right direction) are in the left-right direction (FIG. 313 (a)) with the center of the recess 27060d in the left-right direction as the center in the front view. ) In the left-right direction), they are arranged at positions separated from the inner facing distance D3 (see FIG. 316) of the left and right side walls of the side wall 321 of the ball winning portion 320, which will be described later.

The positions of the centers of the two recesses 27060d10 in the vertical direction (vertical direction in FIG. 313 (a)) are from the lower surface of the recess 27060d upward (upward in FIG. 313 (a)) to the main body of the first winning member 27400. Since it is arranged at a distance D4 (see FIG. 314 (c)) from the bottom of the 27410 to the center of gravity of the protruding portion of the game nail YK protruding from the bottom of the main body portion 27410 of the first winning member 27400, the main body portion The protruding portion of the game nail YK protruding from the back surface of the 27410 is driven into the elastic member G1 inserted into the recess 27060d10.

On the other hand, the bottom surface of the recess 27060d10 (the surface on the left side in FIG. 313 (b)) is the back side of the base plate 60 (FIG. 313 (b) from the tip of the game nail YK (two-dot chain line in FIG. b) Since it is arranged on the left side), the protruding portion of the game nail YK protruding from the back surface of the main body portion 27410 is not driven into the recessed portion 27060d (base plate 60).

Here, a second game board member (first winning member) that is detachably arranged on the first game board member (base plate 60) and the first game board member to form a game board together with the first game board member. There is known a gaming machine equipped with 27400) in which a nail (game nail YK) is driven into the board surface of a second game board member. According to such a game machine, when the nail of the second game board member is broken or bent due to the collision of the game ball flowing down the game area, the entire game board is replaced by replacing only the second game board member. It is possible to eliminate the need for replacement as. Further, even if the nail falls off, by replacing the second game board member, it is not necessary to drive the nail into the hole formed by driving the fallen nail, and the nail by the second game board member does not need to be driven again. It is possible to suppress a decrease in the holding power of the nail.

However, in the game machine described above, the second game board member is formed to be relatively small, and the plate thickness is particularly small. Therefore, when a nail having the same length as the nail driven into the first game board member is driven into the second game board member to a position where the lengths protruding into the game area are equal, the nail penetrates the second game board member. , It is also driven into the first game board member.

When a nail penetrates the second game board member and is driven into the first game board member, the second game board member is removed when the second game board member is replaced while the nail is broken or bent. There was a problem that it became difficult. Further, if the number of replacements increases, the nail is repeatedly driven into the first game board member, which causes a problem that the first game board member is damaged, and the nail is driven again into the hole formed by the nail being driven. There was a problem that the holding power of the nail was reduced.

On the other hand, when the nail to be driven into the second game board member is shorter than the nail to be driven into the first game board member, the nail is driven to a position where the lengths protruding into the game area are equal. , It is possible to prevent the nail from penetrating the second game board member and being driven into the first game board member.

However, if a plurality of nails having different lengths are used, there arises a problem that the manufacturing cost thereof increases. Further, when a nail having a short length is used, the driving depth of the nail is reduced, so that the holding force of the nail by the second game board member is lowered, and there is a problem that the nail is easily pulled out. In addition, since nails of a plurality of lengths are used, there is a possibility that a mistake in nailing may occur.

In addition, by extending the portion of the second game board member to which the nail is driven to the back side and increasing the thickness, when the nail is driven to a position where the lengths protruding into the game area are equal, the nail is driven. Can be prevented from penetrating the second game board member and being driven into the first game board member.

However, when the portion of the second game board member into which the nail is driven is projected toward the back surface, the thickness of the first game board member of the portion that receives the overhanging portion of the second game board member becomes thin. That is, the first game board member has a notched structure (see FIG. 267), and the strength is reduced. Therefore, there is a problem that the first game board member is damaged when the nail is driven due to insufficient strength.

On the other hand, according to the 86th embodiment, as described above, the length of the game nail YK driven into the main body 27410 of the first winning member 27400 is driven into the base plate 60. The game nail YK is driven into the main body 27410 from the front side (right side of FIG. 313 (b)) until the position equal to the length D2 protruding into the game area of the game nail YK (two-dot chain line in FIG. 313 (b)). Even when the tip of the nail YK protrudes from the back surface of the main body 27410, the tip of the game nail YK can be received in the recess 27060d10 to suppress damage to the recess 27060d (base plate 60, facing portion 27060l).

That is, as described above, the positions of the centers of the two recesses 27060d10 in the left-right direction (FIG. 313 (a) left-right direction) are in the left-right direction (FIG. 313) with the center of the recess 27060d in the left-right direction as the center in the front view. (A) In the left-right direction), they are arranged at positions separated from each other by the distance D3 (see FIG. 316) between the left and right side walls of the side wall 321 of the ball winning portion 320, which will be described later, and are located above and below the center of the two recesses 27060d10. The position in the direction (vertical direction in FIG. 313 (a)) is a game in which the lower surface of the recessed portion 27060d is projected upward from the lower surface of the main body portion 27410 of the first winning member 27400 to the back surface of the main body portion 27410 of the first winning member 27400. Since the distance D4 (see FIG. 314 (c)) to the center of gravity of the protruding portion of the nail YK is distant, the tip of the game nail YK protruding from the back surface of the main body 27410 is recessed 27060d (base). It is not driven into the plate 60, the facing portion 27060l), but is accepted in the recess 27060d10. As a result, damage to the recessed portion 27060d (base plate 60, facing portion 27060l) can be suppressed.

The inner diameter of the recess 27060d10 is arranged to be about twice the outer diameter of the shaft portion of the game nail YK.

As a result, even if the position shifts due to the assembly tolerance or the driving position of the game nail YK varies, the tip of the game nail YK can be reliably received in the recess 27060d10. As a result, it is possible to suppress the game nail YK from being driven into the recessed portion 27060d (base plate 60, facing portion 27060l), and to suppress damage to the recessed portion 27060d (base plate 60, facing portion 27060l).

Further, even when the driving angle of the game nail YK is changed, the tip of the game nail YK can be reliably received in the recess 27060d10. As a result, it is possible to suppress the game nail YK from being driven into the recessed portion 27060d (base plate 60, facing portion 27060l), and to suppress damage to the recessed portion 27060d (base plate 60, facing portion 27060l).

On the other hand, by setting the inner diameter of the recess 27060d10 to be about twice the outer diameter of the game nail YK, it is possible to suppress a decrease in the strength of the recess 27060d (base plate 60, facing portion 27060l) and the recess. The processing cost of 27060d10 can be suppressed.

As described above, the game nail YK to be driven into the main body 27410 of the first winning member 27400 is driven into the base plate 60 by being accepted by the recess 27060d10 even if its tip protrudes from the back surface of the main body 27410. A nail having the same length as the game nail YK (two-dot chain line in FIG. 313 (b)) can be used. As a result, the holding force of the game nail YK by the first winning member 27400 can be secured.

That is, when the recess 27060d10 is not recessed, it is shorter than the thickness dimension of the main body 27410 so that it does not protrude from the back surface of the main body 27410 even if there are dimensional tolerances and variations during driving. Only the length of the game nail YK can be driven into the main body 27410. Therefore, the contact area between the game nail YK and the main body portion 27410 is reduced, and the holding force of the game nail YK by the main body portion 27410 is reduced.

On the other hand, if the recess 27060d10 is recessed, the game nail YK can be driven into the main body 27410 until the tip protrudes from the back surface of the main body 27410. Also, the amount of the game nail YK driven into the main body portion 27410 can be set to the same length as the thickness dimension of the main body portion 27410. As a result, the contact area between the game nail YK and the main body portion 27410 can be increased, and the holding force of the game nail YK by the first winning member 27400 (main body portion 47410) can be secured.

Further, when the first winning member 27400 is replaced due to the game nail YK being broken or bent, the tip of the game nail YK is not directly driven into the main body portion 27410 (face-to-face portion 27060l). Since it is driven into the elastic member G1 inserted into the recess 27060d10 of the recess 27060d, the first winning member 27400 can be easily removed.

Further, the game nail YK whose tip is driven into the main body portion 27410 of the first winning member 27400 is driven into the elastic member G1 whose tip is inserted into the concave portion 27060d10 of the recessed portion 27060d, that is, the tip is driven into the elastic member G1. It is held. Therefore, even when the countersunk screw N5 is loosened, the game nail YK can be held by the viscoelastic force of the elastic member G1, which can suppress the rattling of the first winning member 27400.

Further, since the tip of the game nail YK is held by the elastic member G1 in this way, even if the countersunk screw N5 is loosened, the first winning member 27400 (main body 27410) is on the front side (FIG. 313). (B) Moving to the right side), it is possible to prevent the formation of a step between the front surface of the base plate 60 and the front surface of the first winning member 27400 (main body portion 27410).

The width (dimension) of the elastic member G1 in the thickness direction (left-right direction in FIG. 313 (b)) is larger than the distance from the front surface of the recess 27060d to the front surface (bottom surface) of the recess 27060d10 (that is, the depth of the recess 27060d10). Since it is formed small, the shape of the elastic member G1 changes by the volume of the game nail YK driven into the elastic member G1 (it has incompressibility and expands in the radial direction in order to maintain a constant volume). Even if the elastic member G1 protrudes from the recess 27060d10 even if it extends in the radial direction or the axial direction), the protruding elastic member G1 presses the back surface of the first winning member 27400 (main body portion 27410) to the front side. It can suppress pushing out. Alternatively, when the game nail YK is driven, there is no space for receiving the elastic member G1, and it is possible to avoid the game nail YK from being unable to be driven to a predetermined position.

When a game ball flowing down the game area collides with the game nail YK, the first winning member 27400 vibrates due to the impact of the collision, and the countersunk screw N5 is easily loosened. The tip of the game nail YK is the elastic member G1. The vibration of the first winning member 27400 can be suppressed by the viscoelastic property of the elastic member G1. As a result, it is possible to prevent the countersunk screw N5 from loosening. Further, it is possible to prevent the first winning member 27400 and the base plate 60 from being damaged or worn due to the vibration.

As described above, the width (dimensions) of the recessed portion 27060d in the thickness direction (FIG. 313 (b) left and right direction) is the width (dimension) of the main body portion 27410 of the first winning member 27400 (FIG. 313 (b) left and right). Since the front surface of the main body 27410 of the first winning member 27400 is formed on a surface perpendicular to the lower surface, the front surface of the base plate 60 and the first surface are formed to have substantially the same dimensions as the width (dimension) of the direction). The winning member 27400 can be arranged at a position substantially the same as the front surface of the main body portion 27410. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the front surface of the base plate 60 and the front surface of the main body portion 27410 of the first winning member 27400 from being arranged with a step, and the game ball flowing down the game area hits the step, which is disadvantageous to the player. It is possible to suppress the movement of the game ball in a (or advantageous) direction.

Here, the second winning member 3500 in the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. 316.

316 (a) is a front perspective view of the second winning member 3500, FIG. 316 (b) is a front view of the second winning member 3500, and FIG. 316 (c) is a front view of the second winning member 3500. It is a top view.

As shown in FIGS. 316 (a) to 316 (c), the second winning member 3500 is a sphere formed so as to project from the base portion 3510 and the front side (lower side of FIG. 316 (c)) of the base portion 3510. It is mainly provided with a winning portion 320.

The base portion 3510 is for fixing the ball winning portion 320 to the base plate 60, and the upper surface outside the ball winning portion 320 in the longitudinal direction (horizontal direction in FIG. 316 (b)) is formed from a front view and a horizontally long rectangle. , Formed from a plate-like body inclined downward (downward in FIG. 316 (b)). Further, the width dimension of the base portion 3510 in the longitudinal direction (left-right direction in FIG. 316 (b)) is formed larger than the width dimension in the left-right direction of the recessed portion 27060d (see FIG. 315 (b)), and is formed in the vertical direction (FIG. 316). The width dimension in the vertical direction (b) is formed to be larger than the width dimension in the vertical direction (vertical direction in FIG. 316 (b)) of the ball winning portion 320, which will be described later.

The base portion 3510 is provided with an opening 311 penetrating in the plate thickness direction and a circular through hole 313 in the front view penetrating in the plate thickness direction on the back surface (upper surface of FIG. 316 (c)) of the ball winning portion 320. ..

The opening 311 is formed to be larger than the diameter of a game ball having a predetermined size (for example, a diameter of 11 mm) in front view.

At both ends on the outer side in the longitudinal direction (left-right direction in FIG. 316 (b)) from the left and right side surfaces (see FIG. 315 (b)) of the recessed portion 27060d, there are through holes 313 that are circular in the front view and penetrate in the plate thickness direction. To be equipped.

The through hole 313 is provided with a screw head accommodating portion 313a whose diameter is expanded toward the front side (the front side of the paper surface in FIG. 316 (b)), and the inner diameter of the through hole 313 is equal to or equal to the shaft portion of the countersunk screw N1. It is formed slightly larger and is arranged below the lower surface of the recess 27060d and outside the through hole 27060a in the left-right direction (see FIG. 315).

The diameter of the screw head accommodating portion 313a is increased from the back side (upper side of FIG. 316 (c)) to the front side (lower side of FIG. 316 (c)) of the base portion 3510, and the diameter is increased in a plane parallel to the front surface of the base portion 3510. The cut cross section is formed in a circular shape. Further, the inner diameter of the screw head accommodating portion 313a on the front surface of the base portion 3510 is formed to be larger than the outer diameter of the head portion of the countersunk screw N1.

The ball winning portion 320 surrounds the left and right sides (left and right sides of FIG. 316 (b)) and the lower side (lower side of FIG. 316 (b)) of the opening 311 and projects to the front side (lower side of FIG. 316 (c)). The side wall 321 and the front wall 322 arranged at the protruding tip of the side wall 321 are formed, and the first winning opening 64 is formed in the area surrounded by the side wall 321 and the front wall 322.

The side wall 321 has a U-shaped cross section cut along a plane parallel to the base portion 3510 opened upward (upward in FIG. 316 (b)), and faces the left and right sides (left and right sides in FIG. 316 (b)). The distance between the opposing inner walls is formed to be larger than the diameter of a game ball having a predetermined size (for example, a diameter of 11 mm). Further, the side wall 321 is erected on the bottom surface (the back side of the paper surface of FIG. 316 (c)) at the center in the left-right direction (left-right direction of FIG. 316 (c)) and upward (toward the front side of the paper surface of FIG. A rolling unit 323 is provided.

The front wall 322 is formed at the protruding tip of the side wall 321 in parallel with the base portion 3510. Therefore, the front wall 322 is formed so as to close the protruding tip of the side wall 321 and the first winning opening 64 is formed so as to be open upward (upward in FIG. 316 (b)).

The rolling portion 323 is formed with a constant plate thickness from the end of the opening 311 to the front wall 322, and is formed so as to be inclined upward toward the front side (lower side in FIG. 316 (c)). .. Therefore, the game ball that has flowed into the first winning opening 64 is sent to the upper surface of the rolling portion 323, and due to the inclination of the rolling portion 323, the upper surface of the rolling portion 323 (FIG. 316 (c) on the front side of the paper surface). The surface) is rolled and the ball is thrown toward the opening 311.

It will be described back from FIG. 311 to FIG. 313. As described above, the second winning member 3500 is arranged at a position where the center of the opening 311 and the center of the through hole 27060a of the base plate 60 coincide with each other. It is arranged on the upper side (upper side of FIG. 313 (a)) of the upper end portion of the side wall 321. As a result, the game ball that has flowed into the first winning opening 64 passes through the opening 311 and the through hole 27060a and is sent to the back surface of the base plate 60, and the two game nails YK flow down the game area. The number of game balls flowing into the first winning opening 64 can be adjusted with respect to the number of balls.

To fix the second winning member 3500 to the base plate 60, insert the countersunk screw N1 into the through hole 313 of the base portion 3510, and insert the male screw formed on the shaft portion of the countersunk screw N1 protruding from the back surface of the base portion 3510. This is done by screwing into the female screw formed in the fastening hole 60I of the base plate 60. As described above, the through hole 313 is located below the lower surface of the recessed portion 27060d (lower side in FIG. 313 (a)) and outside the through hole 27060a in the left-right direction (left-right direction in FIG. 313 (a)). Since it is arranged, the second winning member 3500 can be fixed to the base plate 60.

Further, the head of the countersunk screw N1 is arranged inside the screw head accommodating portion 313a arranged on the front side of the through hole 313 (the front side of the paper surface in FIG. 313 (a)), so that the head of the countersunk screw N1 is arranged. It is possible to prevent the portion from jumping out from the front side of the second winning member 3500 to the front side (the front side of the paper surface in FIG. 313 (a)).

Further, the second winning member 3500 is arranged on the front surface of the base plate 60 and the first winning member 27400 (the surface on the front side of the paper surface in FIG. 313 (a)), and is more than the game nail YK of the first winning member 27400. It is arranged at a position that covers a part of the lower side (lower side in FIG. 313 (a)). Therefore, due to the impact when the game ball flowing down the game area collides with the game nail YK, the fastening and fixing of the recessed portion 27060d (base plate 60) and the first winning member 27400 is loosened, and the first winning member 27400 is on the front side. (Move to the right side of FIG. 313 (b)), and it is possible to suppress the occurrence of a step from the back surface to the front direction (left-right direction of FIG. 313 (b)) between the base plate 60 and the first winning member 27400.

Further, as described above, the upper surface of the base portion 3510 of the second winning member 3500 outside the ball winning portion 320 in the longitudinal direction (FIG. 313 (a) left-right direction) is downward (FIG. Since it is formed from a plate-like body inclined in the downward direction of 313 (a), a countersunk screw N5 is arranged on the back surface of the base portion 3510 of the second winning member 3500 (the surface on the back side of the paper surface in FIG. 313 (a)). Can be suppressed. Therefore, even when the first winning member 27400 is replaced due to the game nail YK being broken or bent, the countersunk screw N1 and the countersunk screw N5 can be removed in the same process, and the work man-hours can be reduced.

Next, a method of manufacturing the game board 13 will be described with reference to FIG. 317. FIG. 317 (a) is a front view of a state in which the first winning member 27400 is attached to the recessed portion 27060d (base plate 60), and FIG. 317 (b) is the line CCCXVIIb-CCCXVIIb of FIG. 317 (a). It is sectional drawing of the base plate 60 and the 1st prize-winning member 27400.

Note that FIG. 317 shows a state after the first winning member 27400 is attached to the recessed portion 27060d (base plate 60) and before the second winning member 3500 is attached to the base plate 60 (attachment of the first winning member 27400). Process) is shown. Further, in this state, the game nail YK is not driven into the first winning member 27400.

As shown in FIGS. 317 (a) and 317 (b), the main body 27410 of the first winning member 27400 before the game nail YK is driven penetrates into the position where the game nail YK is driven (see FIG. 314). Hole 27410a is formed.

The through hole 27410a is circular in the direction in which the game nail YK is driven, and is arranged so as to be inclined 5 degrees with respect to the thickness direction (left-right direction in FIG. 317 (b)) (that is, inclined upward by 5 degrees). (Along the arrangement position of the game nail YK), the first winning member 27400 is arranged so as to penetrate the main body 27410. Further, the inner diameter of the through hole 27410a is formed to be equal to or slightly smaller than the outer diameter of the game nail YK. As a result, when the game nail YK is driven into the through hole 27410a (main body portion 27410), the contact resistance between the game nail YK and the through hole 27410a (main body portion 27410) is reduced, and the game nail YK is inserted into the through hole 27410a (main body portion 27410). It can be held on the inner surface of 27410).

After the first winning member 27400 mounting step, the game nail YK is driven into the main body 27410 and the elastic member G1 of the first winning member 27400 from the front side (right side of FIG. 317 (b)) of the base plate 60 (game nail YK). Driving process).

Here, in the game nail YK driving process, since the first winning member 27400 is attached to the recessed portion 27060d (base plate 60), the game nail is attached to the main body portion 27410 of the first winning member 27400, which is formed in a relatively small size.

The facing portion 31060l is a portion for suppressing a decrease in the rigidity of the base plate 60, and is formed as a plate-like body that connects (installs) the peripheral edges (opening edges) of the recessed portions 31060d in the base plate 60.

It will be described back from FIG. 333 to FIG. 335. The first winning member 31400 is arranged inside the recessed portion 31060d at a position where the front surface of the main body portion 31410 of the first winning member 31400 and the front surface of the base plate 60 are substantially the same (facial).

Therefore, it is possible to prevent the front surface of the base plate 60 and the front surface of the main body portion 31410 of the first winning member 31400 from being arranged with a step from the back surface to the front direction (FIG. 335 (b) left-right direction). , The game ball flowing down the game area hits a step, and the player can prevent the game ball from moving in a disadvantageous (or advantageous) direction.

Further, in order to fix the first winning member 31400 to the recessed portion 31060d (base plate 60), the countersunk screw N5 is moved from above the main body portion 31410 of the first winning member 31400 (upward in FIG. 335 (a)) to the through hole 31413. This is done by inserting and screwing the male screw formed on the shaft portion of the countersunk screw N5 into the tapered surface 31060d13 of the recessed portion 31060d with the female screw formed in the fastening hole 27060d4.

As a result, it is not necessary to provide a through hole for inserting a screw into the main body portion 31410 of the first winning member 31400, and the strength of the main body portion 31410 can be increased.

The head of the countersunk screw N5 is arranged inside the screw head accommodating portion 3413b arranged on the upper side of the through hole 31413 (upper side in FIG. 335 (b)) in the vertical direction with respect to the tapered surface 31410a of the main body portion 31410. By doing so, it is possible to prevent the head of the countersunk screw N5 from popping out above the upper surface of the first winning member 31400 (upper side in FIG. 335 (c)).

Further, the front surface of the main body portion 31410 of the first winning member 31400 and the front surface of the base plate 60 are arranged at substantially the same position (facial), and the first winning member 31400 is provided in the recessed portion 31060d (base plate 60). In the fixed state, as described above, the width (dimension) of the main body portion 31410 in the thickness direction (FIG. 335 (b) left-right direction) is the width (dimension) of the recess portion 31060d in the thickness direction (FIG. 335 (b) left-right direction). ), So that the back surface of the main body 31410 of the first winning member 31400 and the front surface of the recessed portion 31060d do not come into contact with each other.

Here, the distance from the front surface of the recessed portion 31060d to the back surface of the base plate 60 is small, and the strength is small.

Therefore, the driving load when driving the game nail YK or the impact when the game ball flowing down the game area collides with the game nail YK is not transmitted to the front surface of the low-strength recessed portion 31060d, and the base plate 60 is damaged. Can be suppressed.

Further, instead of the game nail YK, a game nail (not shown) in which a spiral groove is formed on the tip end side of the shaft portion of the game nail YK may be used. When driving a game nail having a spiral groove, the game nail having a spiral groove has a spiral groove formed in the direction of driving the game nail having a spiral groove. It is driven into the main body portion 31410 of the first winning member 31400 while rotating around the shaft portion of the game nail as a rotation axis. Therefore, a rotational force is generated in the main body portion 31410 with the shaft portion of the game nail having the spiral groove formed as the rotation axis, but the tapered surface 31410a of the main body portion 31410 and the tapered surface 31060d13 of the recessed portion 31060d are in contact with each other. Since they are in contact with each other, the rotation of the main body 31410 is suppressed. Therefore, the misalignment of the first winning member 31400 with respect to the recessed portion 31060d (base plate 60) can be suppressed.

As described above, the length of the game nail YK driven into the main body 31410 of the first winning member 31400 protruding into the game area is the length of the game nail YK driven into the base plate 60 (FIG. 335 (b) two-point chain wire). ), The game nail YK is driven into the main body 31410 from the front side (right side of FIG. 335 (b)) until it is equal to the length D2 protruding into the game area, and the tip of the game nail YK protrudes from the back of the main body 31410. Even in this state, the positions of the centers of the two recesses 27060d10 in the left-right direction (FIG. 335 (a) left-right direction) are in the left-right direction (FIG. 335 (a)) with the center of the recess portion 31060d in the left-right direction as the center in the front view. ) Left and right direction) are arranged at positions separated from each other by the inner facing distance D3 (see FIG. 316) of the left and right side walls of the side wall 321 of the ball winning portion 320, and are arranged in the vertical direction of the center of the two recesses 27060d10 (FIG. 335). The position in (a) vertical direction) is from the lower surface of the recessed portion 31060d to the upper side (upward in FIG. 335 (a)) from the lower surface of the main body portion 31410 of the first winning member 31400 to the main body portion 31410 of the first winning member 31400. Since the game nail YK is arranged at a distance D4 (see FIG. 336 (c)) to the center of gravity of the protruding portion of the game nail YK protruding to the back surface, the game nail YK is not driven into the recessed portion 31060d (base plate 60). Damage to the recessed portion 31060d (base plate 60) can be suppressed.

Further, since the inner diameter of the recess 27060d10 is arranged to be about twice the outer diameter of the shaft portion of the game nail YK, misalignment due to the assembly tolerance and variation in the driving position of the game nail YK occur. However, the game nail YK is not driven into the recessed portion 31060d (base plate 60), and damage to the recessed portion 31060d (base plate 60) can be suppressed.

Further, even when the driving angle of the game nail YK is changed, the game nail YK is not driven into the recessed portion 31060d (base plate 60), and damage to the recessed portion 31060d (base plate 60) can be suppressed.

Further, it is possible to suppress a decrease in the strength of the recessed portion 31060d (base plate 60) and to suppress the processing cost of the recessed portion 27060d10.

Further, even if the game nails are driven into the game area of the game nail YK (two-dot chain line in FIG. 313 (b)) driven into the base plate 60 to a position where the lengths of the game nails are equal to each other, the game nails are driven into the main body 31410. Compared with the case where the tip of the YK does not protrude from the back surface of the main body 31410, the contact area between the game nail YK and the first winning member 31400 is larger, and the first winning member 31400 It is possible to suppress a decrease in the holding power of the game nail YK.

Further, even when the first winning member 31400 is replaced due to the game nail YK being broken or bent, the tip of the game nail YK is driven into the elastic member G1 inserted into the recess 27060d10 of the recessed portion 31060d. Therefore, the first winning member 31400 can be easily removed.

Further, as described above, the counterbore hole 31413a is arranged outside or above (upper side in FIG. 335 (a)) in the longitudinal direction (left-right direction in FIG. 335 (a)) from the front view and the arrangement position of the game nail YK. Since it is provided, it is possible to prevent the game nail YK from being driven through the counterbore hole 31413a.

Therefore, the countersunk screw N5 can be removed and the first winning member 31400 can be removed from the recessed portion 31060d in a state where the game nail YK is driven into the main body portion 31410 of the first winning member 31400. Further, it is possible to suppress the contact area between the game nail YK and the first winning member 31400 from becoming small, and it is possible to suppress a decrease in the holding force of the game nail YK by the first winning member 31400.

Will be done. Further, the two game nails YK are arranged at the same height and are arranged so as to be inclined upward (upward in FIG. 341 (b)) by 5 degrees.

As described above, the width (dimensions) of the main body portion 32410 in the thickness direction (vertical direction in FIG. 341 (c)) is the tip of the game nail YK from the front of the base plate 60 of the game nail YK driven into the base plate 60. Since it is formed to be smaller than the distance D1 (see FIG. 340 (b)), the length of the game nail YK driven into the main body 32410 that protrudes into the game area is the length of the game nail YK driven into the base plate 60. Drive the game nail YK into the front of the main body 32410 from the front side of the base plate 60 (lower side of FIG. 341 (c)) until the position becomes equal to the length D2 (see FIG. 340 (b)) protruding into the game area of. The game nail YK driven into the main body 32410 penetrates the main body 32410, and the tip of the game nail YK protrudes from the back surface of the main body 32410.

It will be described back from FIG. 338 to FIG. 340. The first winning member 32400 is arranged inside the recessed portion 32060d so that the back surface of the main body portion 32410 of the first winning member 32400 and the front surface of the recessed portion 32060d are in contact with each other.

To fix the first winning member 32400 to the recessed portion 32060d (base plate 60), a countersunk screw N5 is formed on the main body portion 32410 and the overhanging portion 32420 from the front side of the main body portion 32410 (the front side of the paper surface in FIG. 340 (a)). It is performed by inserting it into the through hole 3413 and screwing the male screw formed on the shaft portion of the countersunk screw N5 into the female screw formed in the fastening hole 27060d4 of the recessed portion 32060d described later. The head of the countersunk screw N5 is arranged inside the screw head accommodating portion 3413b arranged on the front side of the through hole 3413 (the front side of the paper surface in FIG. 340 (a)), so that the head of the countersunk screw N5 is arranged. It is possible to prevent the portion from protruding from the front side of the first winning member 32400 to the front side (the front side of the paper surface in FIG. 340 (a)).

Here, the recessed portion 32060d in the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. 342.

342 (a) is a front perspective view of the recessed portion 32060d, FIG. 342 (b) is a front view of the recessed portion 32060d, and FIG. 342 (c) is a line CCCXLIIc-CCCXLIIc of FIG. 342 (b). It is sectional drawing of the recessed part 32060d in 1

As shown in FIGS. 342 (a) to 342 (c), the recessed portion 32060d is located below the central opening 601 of the base plate 60 (lower side of FIG. 342 (b)) as described above. It is formed by being recessed from the front side toward the back side (left side in FIG. 342 (c)). Due to the recessing of the recessed portion 32060d, a facing portion 32060l is formed in the base plate 60.

Further, the outer shape of the recessed portion 32060d in the front view is formed to be substantially the same as the outer shape of the first winning member 32400 (see FIG. 341). Therefore, the recessed portion 32060d is formed with a receiving portion 32060d13 recessed in a semicircular front view toward the outside in the left-right direction (FIG. 342 (b) left-right direction) on the side surface of the recessed portion 32060d.

As described above, the receiving portion 32060d13 is recessed outward in the left-right direction (FIG. 342 (b) left-right direction) on the side surface of the recessed portion 32060d, and the center of the semicircular front view is on the side surface of the recessed portion 32060d. It is arranged in the center.

The width (dimensions) of the recessed portion 32060d in the thickness direction (left-right direction in FIG. 342 (c)) is abbreviated as the width (dimensions) in the thickness direction of the main body portion 32410 of the first winning member 32400 (see FIG. 341 (c)). It is formed to have the same dimensions and is sufficiently larger than the distance from the front surface of the recessed portion 32060d to the back surface of the base plate 60 (for example, 2.5 times the distance from the front surface of the recessed portion 32060d to the back surface of the base plate 60). The size of) is formed.

Further, the recessed portion 32060d is a circular shape in front view that is recessed in the vertical direction with respect to the front surface of the recessed portion 32060d from the front surface of the recessed portion 32060d toward the back surface side (left side in FIG. 342 (c)) of the base plate 60. It is provided with four fastening holes 27060d4 and two recesses 27060d10.

The fastening hole 27060d4 is arranged coaxially with the shaft (see FIG. 341) of the through hole 3413 of the main body portion 32410 of the first winning member 32400, which is arranged inside the recessed portion 32060d in the front view.

The positions of the centers of the two recesses 27060d10 in the left-right direction (FIG. 342 (b) left-right direction) are in the left-right direction (FIG. 342 (b) left-right direction) with the center of the recess portion 32060d in the left-right direction as the center in the front view. It is arranged at a position separated from the inner facing distance D3 (see FIG. 316) of the left and right side walls of the side wall 321 of the ball winning portion 320.

The positions of the centers of the two recesses 27060d10 in the vertical direction (vertical direction in FIG. 342 (b)) are from the lower surface of the recessed portion 32060d upward (upward in FIG. 342 (b)) to the main body of the first winning member 32400. It is arranged at a distance D4 (see FIG. 341 (c)) from the lower surface of the 32410 to the center of gravity of the protruding portion of the game nail YK protruding from the lower surface of the main body portion 32410 of the first winning member 32400.

Further, the bottom surface of the recess 27060d10 (the surface on the left side in FIG. 342 (c)) is on the back side (left side in FIG. 342 (c)) from the tip of the game nail YK (two-dot chain line in FIG. 342 (c)) driven into the base plate 60. Is arranged in. Further, the inner diameter of the circular shape in front view is arranged to be about twice the outer diameter of the shaft portion of the game nail YK.

Further, the elastic member G1 is inserted into the recess 27060d10.

The facing portion 32060l is a portion for suppressing a decrease in the rigidity of the base plate 60, and is formed as a plate-like body that connects (installs) the peripheral edges (opening edges) of the recessed portion 32060d in the base plate 60.

It will be described back from FIG. 338 to FIG. 340. As described above, the length of the game nail YK driven into the main body 32410 of the first winning member 32400 is the length of the game nail YK driven into the base plate 60 (FIG. 340 (b) two-point chain wire). ), The game nail YK is driven into the main body 32410 from the front side (right side in FIG. 340 (b)) until the position equal to the length D2 protruding into the game area, and the tip of the game nail YK protrudes from the back of the main body 32410. Even in this state, the positions of the centers of the two recesses 27060d10 in the left-right direction (FIG. 340 (a) left-right direction) are in the left-right direction (FIG. 340 (a)) with the center of the recess portion 32060d in the left-right direction as the center in the front view. ) Left and right direction) are arranged at positions separated from each other by the inner facing distance D3 (see FIG. 316) of the left and right side walls of the side wall 321 of the ball winning portion 320, and are arranged in the vertical direction of the center of the two recesses 27060d10 (FIG. 340). The position in (a) vertical direction) is from the lower surface of the recessed portion 32060d upward (upward in FIG. 340 (a)) from the lower surface of the main body portion 32410 of the first winning member 32400 to the main body portion 32410 of the first winning member 32400. Since the game nail YK is arranged at a distance D4 (see FIG. 341 (c)) to the center of gravity of the protruding portion of the game nail YK protruding to the back surface, the game nail YK is not driven into the recessed portion 32060d (base plate 60). Damage to the recessed portion 32060d (base plate 60) can be suppressed.

Further, since the inner diameter of the recess 27060d10 is arranged to be about twice the outer diameter of the shaft portion of the game nail YK, misalignment due to the assembly tolerance and variation in the driving position of the game nail YK occur. However, the game nail YK is not driven into the recessed portion 32060d (base plate 60), and damage to the recessed portion 32060d (base plate 60) can be suppressed.

Further, even when the driving angle of the game nail YK is changed, the game nail YK is not driven into the recessed portion 32060d (base plate 60), and damage to the recessed portion 32060d (base plate 60) can be suppressed.

Further, it is possible to suppress a decrease in the strength of the recessed portion 32060d (base plate 60) and to suppress the processing cost of the recessed portion 27060d10.

Further, even if the game nails are driven into the game area of the game nail YK (two-dot chain line in FIG. 340 (b)) driven into the base plate 60 to a position where the lengths of the game nails are equal to each other, the game nails are driven into the main body 32410. Compared with the case where the tip of the YK does not protrude from the back surface of the main body 32410, the contact area between the game nail YK and the first winning member 32400 is larger, and the first winning member 32400 It is possible to suppress a decrease in the holding power of the game nail YK.

Further, even when the first winning member 32400 is replaced due to the game nail YK being broken or bent, the tip of the game nail YK is driven into the elastic member G1 inserted into the recess 27060d10 of the recessed portion 32060d. Therefore, the first winning member 32400 can be easily removed.

Further, as described above, the width (dimensions) of the recessed portion 32060d in the thickness direction (FIG. 340 (b) left and right direction) is the thickness direction of the main body portion 32410 of the first winning member 32400 (FIG. 340 (b) left and right). Since the front surface of the main body portion 32410 of the first winning member 32400 is formed on a surface perpendicular to the lower surface, the front surface of the base plate 60 and the first surface are formed to have substantially the same dimensions as the width (dimension) of the direction). The winning member 32400 can be arranged at a position substantially the same as the front surface of the main body portion 32410. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the front surface of the base plate 60 and the front surface of the main body portion 32410 of the first winning member 32400 from being arranged with a step from the back surface to the front direction (FIG. 340 (b) left-right direction). , The game ball flowing down the game area hits a step, and the player can prevent the game ball from moving in a disadvantageous (or advantageous) direction.

Further, instead of the game nail YK, a game nail (not shown) in which a spiral groove is formed on the tip end side of the shaft portion of the game nail YK may be used. When driving a game nail having a spiral groove, the game nail having a spiral groove has a spiral groove formed in the direction of driving the game nail having a spiral groove. It is driven into the main body portion 32410 of the first winning member 32400 while rotating around the shaft portion of the game nail as a rotation axis. Therefore, a rotational force is generated in the main body portion 32410 with the shaft portion of the game nail having the spiral groove formed as the rotation axis, but the overhanging portion 32420 of the first winning member 32400 is the receiving portion 32060d13 of the recessed portion 32060d. Since it is fitted to, the rotation of the first winning member 32400 is suppressed. Therefore, the misalignment of the first winning member 32400 with respect to the recessed portion 32060d (base plate 60) can be suppressed.

Here, as described above, the recessed portion 32060d is formed so that the outer shape in the front view is substantially the same as the outer shape of the first winning member 32400, but the first winning member 32400 must be arranged inside. Therefore, considering the dimensional tolerance, the recessed portion 32060d is formed to be equal to or slightly larger than the first winning member 32400.

Further, in the first winning member 32400, the position of the first winning member 32400 shifts inside the recessed portion 32060d due to repeated collisions of the game ball flowing down the game area with the game nail YK.

On the other hand, the overhanging portion 32420 of the first winning member 32400 can reduce the amount of misalignment of the first winning member 32400.

For example, when the first winning member 32400 is arranged on the lower side (lower side in FIG. 340 (a)) of the recessed portion 32060d with respect to the design position, the lower surface of the main body portion 32410 of the first winning member 32400. And the lower surface of the recessed portion 32060d, the lower half of the lower side (lower side of FIG. 340 (a)) of the overhanging portion 32420 of the first winning member 32400, and the lower side of the receiving portion 32060d13 of the recessed portion 32060d (FIG. 340). (A) Lower side) The distance between the half circular portion and the circular portion is smaller than the design position.

Therefore, the overhanging portion 32420 of the first winning member 32400 and the receiving portion 32060d13 of the recessed portion 32060d are not only on the lower side of the semicircular front view (lower side in FIG. 340 (a)) but also on both the left and right sides (FIG. 340 (FIG. 340). a) The distance to contact with the left and right sides) is smaller than the design position.

Therefore, when the game ball flowing down the game area collides with the game nail YK and the first winning member 32400 is displaced in the downward direction (FIG. 340 (a) downward direction) and the left-right direction (FIG. 340 (a) left-right direction). Also, not only the amount of misalignment of the first winning member 32400 in the downward direction (FIG. 340 (a) downward) but also the amount of misalignment in the left-right direction (FIG. 340 (a) left-right direction) can be reduced. it can.

Further, for example, the rotational force of the countersunk screw N5 when fixing the first winning member 32400 to the recessed portion 32060d is transmitted to the first winning member 32400, and the first winning member 32400 is a front view clock with respect to the recessed portion 32060d. When arranged by rotating around, the lower side of the overhanging portion 32420 (lower side of FIG. 340 (a)) on the right side of the first winning member 32400 (right side of FIG. 340 (a)) and the right side of the recessed portion 32060d. The lower side of the receiving portion 32060d13 (lower side of FIG. 340 (a)) of the receiving portion 32060d13 (right side of FIG. 340 (a)), and the upper side of the overhanging portion 32420 of the left side (left side of FIG. 340 (a)) of the first winning member 32400 (FIG. The distance between the upper side of the 340 (a) and the upper side of the receiving portion 32060d13 (upper side of FIG. 340 (a)) of the left side of the recessed portion 32060d (left side of FIG. 340 (a)) is smaller than the design position.

In this state, when the game ball flowing down the game area collides with the game nail YK from the diagonally upward left direction in the front view, the first winning member 32400 is displaced diagonally downward to the right, but is arranged at the design position. The circular portion on the diagonally lower right side of the overhanging portion 32420 on the right side (right side in FIG. 340 (a)) of the first winning member 32400 is on the right side of the recessed portion 32060d (right side in FIG. 340 (a)). The distance until it comes into contact with the circular portion on the lower right side of the receiving portion 32060d13 is smaller than the design position.

Therefore, even when the game ball flowing down the game area collides with the game nail YK from the diagonally upper left direction in the front view and the first winning member 32400 is displaced diagonally downward to the right, the position shifts diagonally downward to the right. The amount can be reduced.

Similarly, in a state where the first winning member 32400 is arranged so as to rotate counterclockwise in the front view with respect to the design position, the game ball flowing down the game area is viewed right in front of the game nail YK. When the collision occurs from an obliquely upward direction, the amount of misalignment of the first winning member 32400 in the diagonally downward left direction can be reduced.

Next, the 92nd embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 343 to 347. The same parts as those of the above-described embodiments are designated by the same reference numerals, and the description thereof will be omitted.

Therefore, the recessed portion 33060d is formed with a receiving portion 33060d13 recessed in an arc from the apex of the four corners of the recessed portion 33060d to the outside and from the side surface to the upper surface or the lower surface of the recessed portion 33060d.

The width (dimensions) of the recessed portion 33060d in the thickness direction (left-right direction in FIG. 347 (c)) is abbreviated as the width (dimensions) in the thickness direction of the main body portion 33410 of the first winning member 33400 (see FIG. 346 (c)). It is formed to have the same dimensions and is sufficiently larger than the distance from the front surface of the recessed portion 33060d to the back surface of the base plate 60 (for example, 2.5 times the distance from the front surface of the recessed portion 33060d to the back surface of the base plate 60). The size of) is formed.

Further, the recessed portion 33060d is a circular shape in front view that is recessed in the vertical direction with respect to the front surface of the recessed portion 33060d from the front surface of the recessed portion 33060d toward the back surface side (left side in FIG. 347 (c)) of the base plate 60. It is provided with four fastening holes 27060d4 and two recesses 27060d10.

The fastening hole 27060d4 is arranged coaxially with the axis (see FIG. 346) of the through hole 3413 of the main body portion 33410 of the first winning member 33400, which is arranged inside the recessed portion 33060d in the front view.

The positions of the centers of the two recesses 27060d10 in the left-right direction (FIG. 347 (b) left-right direction) are in the left-right direction (FIG. 347 (b) left-right direction) with the center of the recess portion 35060d in the left-right direction as the center in the front view. It is arranged at a position separated from the inner facing distance D3 (see FIG. 316) of the left and right side walls of the side wall 321 of the ball winning portion 320.

The positions of the centers of the two recesses 27060d10 in the vertical direction (vertical direction in FIG. 347 (b)) are from the lower surface of the recessed portion 33060d upward (upward in FIG. 347 (b)) to the main body of the first winning member 33400. It is arranged at a distance D4 (see FIG. 346 (c)) from the lower surface of the 33410 to the center of gravity of the protruding portion of the game nail YK protruding from the lower surface of the main body portion 33410 of the first winning member 33400.

Further, the bottom surface of the recess 27060d10 (the surface on the left side in FIG. 347 (c)) is on the back side (left side in FIG. 347 (c)) from the tip of the game nail YK (two-dot chain line in FIG. 347 (c)) driven into the base plate 60. Is arranged in. Further, the inner diameter of the circular shape in front view is arranged to be about twice the outer diameter of the shaft portion of the game nail YK.

Further, the elastic member G1 is inserted into the recess 27060d10.

The facing portion 33060l is a portion for suppressing a decrease in the rigidity of the base plate 60, and is formed as a plate-like body that connects (installs) the peripheral edges (opening edges) of the recessed portions 33060d in the base plate 60.

It will be described back from FIG. 343 to FIG. 345. As described above, the length of the game nail YK driven into the main body 33410 of the first winning member 33400 protruding into the game area is the length of the game nail YK driven into the base plate 60 (FIG. 345 (b) two-point chain wire). ), The game nail YK is driven into the main body 33410 from the front side (right side of FIG. 345 (b)) until it is equal to the length D2 protruding into the game area, and the tip of the game nail YK protrudes from the back of the main body 33410. Even in this state, the positions of the centers of the two recesses 27060d10 in the left-right direction (FIG. 345 (a) left-right direction) are in the left-right direction (FIG. 345 (a)) with the center of the recess 33060d in the left-right direction as the center in the front view. ) Left and right direction) are arranged at positions separated from each other by the inner facing distance D3 (see FIG. 316) of the left and right side walls of the side wall 321 of the ball winning portion 320, and the vertical direction of the center of the two recesses 27060d10 (FIG. 345). The position in (a) vertical direction) is from the lower surface of the recessed portion 33060d upward (upward in FIG. 345 (a)) from the lower surface of the main body portion 33410 of the first winning member 33400 to the main body portion 33410 of the first winning member 33400. Since the game nail YK is arranged at a distance D4 (see FIG. 346 (c)) to the center of gravity of the protruding portion of the game nail YK protruding to the back surface, the game nail YK is not driven into the recessed portion 33060d (base plate 60). Damage to the recessed portion 33060d (base plate 60) can be suppressed.

Further, since the inner diameter of the recess 27060d10 is arranged to be about twice the outer diameter of the shaft portion of the game nail YK, misalignment due to the assembly tolerance and variation in the driving position of the game nail YK occur. However, the game nail YK is not driven into the recessed portion 33060d (base plate 60), and damage to the recessed portion 33060d (base plate 60) can be suppressed.

Further, even when the driving angle of the game nail YK is changed, the game nail YK is not driven into the recessed portion 33060d (base plate 60), and damage to the recessed portion 33060d (base plate 60) can be suppressed.

Further, it is possible to suppress a decrease in the strength of the recessed portion 33060d (base plate 60) and suppress an increase in the processing of the recessed portion 27060d10.

Further, even if the game nails are driven into the game area of the game nail YK (two-dot chain line in FIG. 345 (b)) driven into the base plate 60 to a position where the lengths of the game nails are equal to each other, the game nails are driven into the main body 33410. Compared with the case where the tip of the YK does not protrude from the back surface of the main body 33410, the contact area between the game nail YK and the first winning member 33400 is larger, and the first winning member 33400 It is possible to suppress a decrease in the holding power of the game nail YK.

Further, even when the first winning member 33400 is replaced due to the game nail YK being broken or bent, the tip of the game nail YK is driven into the elastic member G1 inserted into the recess 27060d10 of the recessed portion 33060d. Therefore, the first winning member 33400 can be easily removed.

Further, as described above, the width (dimensions) of the recessed portion 33060d in the thickness direction (FIG. 345 (b) left and right direction) is the thickness direction of the main body portion 33410 of the first winning member 33400 (FIG. 345 (b) left and right). Since the front surface of the main body 33410 of the first winning member 33400 is formed on a surface perpendicular to the lower surface, the front surface of the base plate 60 and the first surface are formed to have substantially the same dimensions as the width (dimension) of the direction). The winning member 33400 can be arranged at a position substantially the same as the front surface of the main body 33410. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the front surface of the base plate 60 and the front surface of the main body portion 33410 of the first winning member 33400 from being arranged with a step from the back surface to the front direction (FIG. 345 (b) left-right direction). , The game ball flowing down the game area hits a step, and the player can prevent the game ball from moving in a disadvantageous (or advantageous) direction.

Further, instead of the game nail YK, a game nail (not shown) in which a spiral groove is formed on the tip end side of the shaft portion of the game nail YK may be used. When driving a game nail having a spiral groove, the game nail having a spiral groove has a spiral groove formed in the direction of driving the game nail having a spiral groove. It is driven into the main body 33410 of the first winning member 33400 while rotating around the shaft of the game nail as a rotation axis. Therefore, a rotational force is generated in the main body portion 33410 with the shaft portion of the game nail having the spiral groove formed as the rotation axis, but the overhanging portion 33420 of the first winning member 33400 is the receiving portion 33060d13 of the recessed portion 33060d. Since it is fitted to, the rotation of the first winning member 33400 is suppressed. Therefore, the misalignment of the first winning member 33400 with respect to the recessed portion 33060d (base plate 60) can be suppressed.

Here, as described above, the recessed portion 33060d is formed so that the outer shape in the front view is substantially the same as the outer shape of the first winning member 33400, but the first winning member 33400 must be arranged inside. Therefore, considering the dimensional tolerance, the recessed portion 33060d is formed to be equal to or slightly larger than the first winning member 33400.

Further, the first winning member 33400 is repeatedly collided with the game nail YK of the game ball flowing down the game area, so that the position of the first winning member 33400 shifts inside the recessed portion 33060d.

On the other hand, the overhanging portion 33420 of the first winning member 33400 can reduce the amount of misalignment of the first winning member 33400.

For example, when the first winning member 33400 is arranged on the lower side (lower side in FIG. 345 (a)) of the recessed portion 33060d with respect to the design position, the lower surface of the main body portion 33410 of the first winning member 33400. And the lower surface of the recessed portion 33060d, the arc portion on the lower side (lower side of FIG. 345 (a)) of the overhanging portion 33420 of the first winning member 33400, and the lower side of the receiving portion 33060d13 of the recessed portion 33060d (FIG. 345 (FIG. 345). a) The distance between the arc portion (lower side) and the arc portion is smaller than the design position.

Therefore, the overhanging portion 33420 of the first winning member 33400 and the receiving portion 33060d13 of the recessed portion 33060d are not only on the lower side of the front view circle (lower side in FIG. 345 (a)) but also on both the left and right sides (FIG. 345 (a)). ) The distance to contact (on both the left and right sides) is smaller than the design position.

Therefore, when the game ball flowing down the game area collides with the game nail YK and the first winning member 33400 is displaced in the downward direction (FIG. 345 (a) downward direction) and the left-right direction (FIG. 345 (a) left-right direction). Also, not only the amount of misalignment of the first winning member 33400 in the downward direction (FIG. 345 (a) downward) but also the amount of misalignment in the left-right direction (FIG. 345 (a) left-right direction) can be reduced. it can.

Further, for example, the rotational force of the countersunk screw N5 when fixing the first winning member 33400 to the recessed portion 33060d is transmitted to the first winning member 33400, and the first winning member 33400 is a front view clock with respect to the recessed portion 33060d. When arranged so as to rotate around, the lower side of the overhanging portion 33420 (lower side of FIG. 345 (a)) on the right side of the first winning member 33400 (right side of FIG. 345 (a)) and the right side of the recessed portion 33060d. The lower side of the receiving portion 33060d13 (lower side of FIG. 345 (a)) of the receiving portion 33060d13 (right side of FIG. 345 (a)), and the upper side of the overhanging portion 33420 of the left side (left side of FIG. 345 (a)) of the first winning member 33400 (FIG. The distance between the upper side of the receiving portion 31060d13 (upper side of FIG. 345 (a)) on the left side of the recessed portion 33060d (left side of FIG. 345 (a)) is smaller than the design position.

In this state, when a game ball flowing down the game area collides with the game nail YK from diagonally upward leftward in front view, the first winning member 33400 is displaced diagonally downward rightward, but is arranged at a design position. The circular portion on the lower right side of the overhanging portion 33420 arranged on the upper right side of the first winning member 33400 is on the lower right side of the receiving portion 33060d13 arranged on the upper right side of the recessed portion 33060d. The distance to contact the circular part of is smaller than the design position.

Further, in this state, when the game ball flowing down the game area collides with the game nail YK from the diagonally upward right direction in the front view, the first winning member 33400 is displaced diagonally downward to the left, but is arranged at the design position. Compared to the case where it is provided, the circular portion on the diagonally lower left side of the overhanging portion 33420 arranged at the lower right of the first winning member 33400 is the receiving portion 33060d13 arranged at the lower right of the recessed portion 33060d. The distance to contact the circular part on the lower left side is smaller than the design position.

Therefore, when the game ball flowing down the game area collides with the game nail YK from the diagonally upward left direction or the diagonally upward right direction, and the first winning member 33400 is displaced diagonally downward to the right or diagonally downward to the left. Also, the amount of misalignment in the diagonally downward right direction or the diagonally downward left direction can be reduced.

Similarly, in a state where the first winning member 33400 is arranged so as to rotate counterclockwise in the front view with respect to the design position, the game ball flowing down the game area is viewed right in front of the game nail YK. When the collision occurs from the diagonally upward direction or the diagonally upward left direction, the amount of misalignment of the first winning member 33400 in the diagonally lower left direction or the diagonally lower right direction can be reduced.

Since the game nail YK is arranged at a position separated from the center of gravity of the protruding portion of the game nail YK protruding from the back surface of the 34410, the game nail YK is not driven into the recessed portion 34060d (base plate 60), and the recessed portion 34060d (base plate 60) is not driven. ) Damage can be suppressed.

Further, since the inner diameter of the recess 27060d10 is arranged to be about twice the outer diameter of the shaft portion of the game nail YK, misalignment due to the assembly tolerance and variation in the driving position of the game nail YK occur. However, the game nail YK is not driven into the recessed portion 34060d (base plate 60), and damage to the recessed portion 34060d (base plate 60) can be suppressed.

Further, even when the driving angle of the game nail YK is changed, the game nail YK is not driven into the recessed portion 34060d (base plate 60), and damage to the recessed portion 34060d (base plate 60) can be suppressed.

Further, it is possible to suppress a decrease in the strength of the recessed portion 34060d (base plate 60) and to suppress the processing cost of the recessed portion 27060d10.

Further, even if the game nails are driven into the game area of the game nail YK (two-dot chain line in FIG. 350 (b)) driven into the base plate 60 to a position where the lengths of the game nails are equal to each other, the game nails are driven into the main body 34410. Compared with the case where the tip of the YK does not protrude from the back surface of the main body 34410, the contact area between the game nail YK and the first winning member 34400 is larger, and the first winning member 34400 It is possible to suppress a decrease in the holding power of the game nail YK.

Further, even when the first winning member 34400 is replaced due to the game nail YK being broken or bent, the tip of the game nail YK is driven into the elastic member G1 inserted into the recess 27060d10 of the recessed portion 34060d.

The inner diameter of the through hole 3413 is formed to be equal to or slightly larger than the outer diameter of the shaft portion of the countersunk screw N9, and the diameter is expanded toward the front side of the base plate 60 (the back side of the paper surface in FIG. 363 (c)). A head accommodating portion 3413b is provided. Further, the through holes 3413 are arranged at the four inner corners of the recessed portion 36060d in the rear view.

The game nail through hole 36060d20 is centered on the game nail YK (see FIG. 362) driven into the main body portion 36410 of the first winning member 36400 arranged inside the recessed portion 34060d in the direction in which the game nail YK is driven. Arranged.

Further, in the direction of driving the game nail YK, the inner diameter (radius) of the game nail through hole 36060d20 is formed to be larger than the outer diameter (radius) of the head of the game nail YK, and the game ball flowing down the game area is formed. Than the distance L3 (see FIG. 363 (d)) from the contact point between the game ball and the front surface of the base plate 60 to the center of the game nail through hole 36060d20 at the position where the game nail YK and the front surface of the base plate 60 are in contact with each other. It is arranged small. That is, the outer edge of the game nail through hole 36060d20 is arranged at a position where it does not come into contact with the game ball.

The attached portion 36060l is a portion for suppressing a decrease in the rigidity of the base plate 60, and is formed as a plate-like body that connects (installs) the peripheral edges (opening edges) of the recessed portion 36060d in the base plate 60.

It will be described back from FIG. 358 to FIG. 361. When fixing the first winning member 36400 to the recessed portion 36060d (base plate 60), the front surface of the main body portion 36410 of the first winning member 36400 and the bottom surface of the recessed portion 36060d (the surface on the right side in FIG. 361 (b)) come into contact with each other. In this state, the countersunk screw N9 is inserted into the through hole 3413 from the front side of the base plate 60 (the front side of the paper surface in FIG. 361 (a)), and the male screw formed on the shaft portion of the countersunk screw N9 is inserted into the first winning member 36400. This is done by screwing into the female screw formed in the fastening hole 27060d4. The head of the countersunk screw N9 is arranged inside the screw head accommodating portion 3413b arranged on the front side of the through hole 3413 (the front side of the paper surface in FIG. 361 (a)), so that the head of the countersunk screw N9 is arranged. It is possible to prevent the portion from protruding from the front surface of the base plate 60 to the front side (the front side of the paper surface in FIG. 361 (a)).

Further, since it is not necessary to attach the first winning member 36400 to the front surface of the base plate 60, it is possible to suppress the occurrence of a step in the game area, and the game ball flowing down the game area hits the step, which is disadvantageous to the player ( Or it is possible to suppress the movement of the game ball in an advantageous direction.

Further, as described above, in the direction of driving the game nail YK, the radius of the game nail through hole 36060d20 is the position where the game ball flowing down the game area comes into contact with the front surface of the game nail YK and the base plate 60. Since the distance from the contact point between the ball and the front surface of the base plate 60 to the center of the game nail through hole 36060d20 is smaller than L3 (see FIG. 363 (d)), the game ball is arranged inside the game nail through hole 36060d20. It is possible to prevent the player from moving the game ball in a disadvantageous (or advantageous) direction.

Further, even in a state where the base plate 60 and the first winning member 36400 are loosened due to the collision of the game ball flowing down the game area with the game nail YK and the first winning member 36400 can be moved, the first prize member 36400 is not fastened. Since the winning member 36400 moves to the back side (left side in FIG. 361 (b)) of the base plate 60, it is possible to suppress the occurrence of a step in the game area.

Further, the length of the game nail YK driven into the main body portion 36410 of the first winning member 36400 is the length of the game nail YK driven into the base plate 60 (FIG. 361 (b) two-dot chain line). Even if the game nail YK is driven into the main body 36410 of the first winning member 36400 to a position equal to the length D2 protruding into the area, as described above, the back surface of the first winning member 36400 and the back surface of the base plate 60 are Since the game nails YK are arranged at substantially the same (facial) position, the game nail YK does not penetrate the main body portion 36410. Therefore, the contact area between the game nail YK and the first winning member 36400 becomes large, and it is possible to suppress a decrease in the holding force of the game nail YK by the first winning member 36400.

Further, the countersunk screw N9 and the fastening hole 27060d4 are fastened so that the first winning member 36400 rotates in the direction of arrow R1 (see FIG. 361 (b)) due to the collision of the gaming ball flowing down the gaming area with the gaming nail YK. Not only that, the contact surface between the front surface of the main body portion 36410 of the first winning member 36400 and the bottom surface of the recessed portion 36060d (the surface on the right side of FIG. 361 (b)) can also be suppressed, so that the first winning member 36400 can be suppressed. Damage to the fastening hole 27060d4 formed in the main body portion 36410 can be suppressed.

Further, the protruding length of the game nail YK driven into the main body portion 36410 of the first winning member 36400 (the distance which is the shortest length from the front of the main body portion 36410 of the first winning member 36400 to the position where the game ball collides. L1 (see FIG. 361 (b)) is the protruding length of the game nail YK (two-dot chain line in FIG. 361 (b)) driven into the base plate 60 (from the front surface of the base plate 60 to the position where the game ball collides). It is larger than the distance L2 (see FIG. 361 (b)), which is the shortest length of. Therefore, the amount of elastic deformation of the game nail YK driven into the first winning member 36400 (main body portion 36410) can be increased (the collision load of the game ball is released by its own elastic deformation), and the collision of the game ball occurs. It is possible to prevent damage (breakage or bending). Since the game nail YK driven into the first winning member 36400 (main body 36410) frequently collides with the game ball aiming to enter the first winning opening 64, the elastic deformation amount is secured by the above-described configuration. What you can do is especially effective.

Here, a method of manufacturing the game board 13 will be described. In the first winning member 36400, the main body portion 36410 is fastened and fixed to the recessed portion 36060d (base plate 60) by the countersunk screw N9 before the game nail YK is driven.

Next, the game nail YK is driven into the main body portion 36410 of the first winning member 36400 from the front side (right side of FIG. 361 (b)) of the main body portion 36410.

Here, as described above, the game nail through hole 36060d20 is driven into the main body portion 36410 of the first winning member 36400 arranged inside the recessed portion 34060d in the direction in which the game nail YK is driven. Since the game nail through hole 36060d20 is arranged larger than the head of the game nail YK, the game nail YK to be driven into the main body portion 36410 of the first winning member 36400 is a game nail. It passes through the through hole 36060d20 and is not driven into the recessed portion 36060d (base plate 60). Therefore, damage to the recessed portion 36060d (base plate 60) can be suppressed.

Further, even if the position shift due to the assembly tolerance or the driving position of the game nail YK varies, the game nail YK is not driven into the recessed portion 36060d (base plate 60), and the recessed portion 36060d (base plate 60) Damage can be suppressed.

Further, even when the driving angle of the game nail YK is changed, the game nail YK is not driven into the recessed portion 36060d (base plate 60), and damage to the recessed portion 36060d (base plate 60) can be suppressed.

Further, as described above, the through holes 3413 arranged in the recessed portion 36060d are arranged at the four corners inside (bottom surface) of the recessed portion 36060d in the rear view, and are arranged in the game nail through holes 36060d20 (first winning member 36400). The game nails YK to be driven into (main body portion 36410) are arranged at the four corners and centered on the through holes 3413.

That is, the game nail through hole 36060d20 (game nail YK) is arranged at the position farthest from the through hole 3413, and the through hole 3413 is a portion having a large thickness dimension of the base plate 60 (the recessed portion 36060d of the base plate 60). The distance from the through hole 3413 to the portion having a large thickness dimension of the base plate 60 is larger than the distance from the game nail through hole 36060d20 (game nail YK) to the through hole 3413. However, it is shortened.

As a result, it is possible to make it difficult for the driving load of the game nail YK to act on the through hole 3413, and it is possible to secure the strength around the through hole 3413. As a result, when the main body portion 36410 is fastened and fixed to the base plate 60 with the countersunk screw N9 and the game nail YK is driven into the main body portion 36410, it is possible to prevent the fastening hole 27060d4 (attached portion 36060l) from being damaged. ..

It is larger than the distance L5 (see FIG. 367 (b)). Therefore, the amount of elastic deformation of the game nail YK can be increased, and it is possible to prevent the first winning member 37400 from being damaged by the force generated when the game ball flowing down the game area collides with the game nail YK. Further, since the amount of elastic deformation of the game nail YK can be increased, the plastic deformation of the game nail YK can be suppressed.

Further, as described above, since the lower surface 37410a of the main body 37410 and the lower surface 37060d13 of the recessed 37060d are in contact with each other, not only the countersunk screw N10 of the main body 37410 of the first winning member 37400 and the fastening hole 27060d4 are fastened. The lower surface of the recessed portion 37060d, 37060d13, can also receive the driving load when driving the game nail YK. Therefore, damage to the fastening hole 27060d4 formed in the main body portion 37410 of the first winning member 37400 can be suppressed.

Even if the game nail YK is driven into the main body 38410 of the first winning member 38400 to a position equal to the length D2 protruding into the region, as described above, the back surface of the first winning member 38400 and the back surface of the base plate 60 are Since the game nails YK are arranged at substantially the same (facial) position, the game nail YK does not penetrate the main body 38410. Therefore, the contact area between the game nail YK and the first winning member 38400 becomes large, and it is possible to suppress a decrease in the holding force of the game nail YK by the first winning member 38400.

Further, it is not only the fastening of the countersunk screw N11 and the fastening hole 27060d4 that the first winning member 38400 rotates in the direction of the arrow R1 due to the collision of the gaming ball flowing down the gaming area with the game nail YK, but also the first winning member. Since the contact surface between the front surface of the main body 38410 of the 38400 and the bottom surface of the recessed 38060d (the surface on the left side of FIG. 373 (b)) can also be suppressed, the notch of the main body 38410 of the first winning member 38400 can be suppressed. Damage to the fastening hole 27060d4 formed in 38420 can be suppressed.

Further, the distance L6 from the point where the game nail YK driven into the main body 38410 of the first winning member 38400 collides with the game ball flowing down the game area to the front of the main body 38410 of the first winning member 38400 (FIG. 373 (b)) is from the point where the game nail YK (two-dot chain line in FIG. 373 (b)) driven into the base plate 60 collides with the game ball flowing down the game area to the front surface of the base plate 60. It is larger than the distance L7 (see FIG. 373 (b)). Therefore, the amount of elastic deformation of the game nail YK can be increased, and it is possible to prevent the first winning member 38400 from being damaged by the force generated when the game ball flowing down the game area collides with the game nail YK. Further, since the amount of elastic deformation of the game nail YK can be increased, the plastic deformation of the game nail YK can be suppressed.

Further, as described above, the back surface 38420a of the notch portion 38420 formed in the main body portion 38410 of the first winning member 38400 and the front surface 38060d14 of the overhanging portion 38060d13 formed in the recessed portion 38060d are in contact with each other. , Not only the countersunk screw N11 of the main body 38410 of the first winning member 38400 and the fastening hole 27060d4 are fastened, but also the driving load when driving the game nail YK at the front 38060d14 of the overhanging portion 38060d13 formed in the recessed portion 38060d. I can take it. Therefore, damage to the fastening hole 27060d4 formed in the notch 38420 of the main body 38410 of the first winning member 38400 can be suppressed.

It is possible to prevent the head of the screw N12 from protruding from the back surface of the base plate 60 to the back surface side (the back side of the paper surface in FIG. 379 (a)).

Further, since it is not necessary to attach the first winning member 39400 to the front surface of the base plate 60, it is possible to suppress the occurrence of a step in the game area, and the game ball flowing down the game area hits the step, which is disadvantageous to the player ( Or it is possible to suppress the movement of the game ball in an advantageous direction.

Further, even in a state where the base plate 60 and the first winning member 39400 are loosened due to the collision of the game ball flowing down the game area with the game nail YK and the first winning member 39400 can be moved, the first prize member 39400 is not fastened. Since the winning member 39400 is sandwiched between the bottom surface of the recessed portion 39060d (the lower surface in FIG. 379 (c)) and the side surface 39060d13, it is possible to prevent the first winning member 39400 from moving.

Further, as described above, the width (dimension) of the main body portion 39410 in the thickness direction (FIG. 379 (b) left-right direction) is the width (dimension) of the recess portion 39060d in the thickness direction (FIG. 379 (b) left-right direction). ), So that the back surface of the first winning member 39400 and the back surface 39060d14 of the recessed portion 39060d do not come into contact with each other.

Here, the distance from the back surface 39060d14 of the recessed portion 39060d to the back surface of the base plate 60 is small, and the strength is small.

Therefore, the driving load when driving the game nail YK or the impact when the game ball flowing down the game area collides with the game nail YK is not transmitted to the front surface of the low-strength recessed portion 39060d, and the base plate 60 is damaged. Can be suppressed.

Further, the length of the game nail YK driven into the main body 39410 of the first winning member 39400 is the length of the game nail YK driven into the base plate 60 (FIG. 379 (b) two-point chain line). When the game nail YK is driven into the main body 39410 from the front side (right side in FIG. 379 (b)) to a position equal to the length D2 protruding into the region, as described above, the recessed portion 39060d is driven from the front of the base plate 60. Since the distance to the back surface 39060d14 is formed to be smaller than the distance D1 from the front surface of the base plate 60 of the game nail YK driven into the base plate 60 to the tip of the game nail YK, the main body portion 39410 of the first winning member 39400 The tip of the game nail YK driven into the main body protrudes from the back surface of the main body 39410.

Even when the tip of the game nail YK driven into the main body 39410 of the first winning member 39400 protrudes from the back surface of the main body 39410, the left-right direction of the center of the two recesses 27060d10 (FIG. 379 (a) left-right direction). ) Is the distance D3 (distance between the inner sides of the left and right side walls of the side wall 321 of the ball winning portion 320 in the left-right direction (FIG. 379 (a) left-right direction) centered on the center of the recessed portion 39060d in the left-right direction in the front view. (Refer to FIG. 316) The positions in the vertical direction (vertical direction in FIG. 379 (a)) of the centers of the two recesses 27060d10 are located above the lower surface of the recessed portion 39060d (upper in FIG. 379 (a)). Direction), because it is arranged at a position separated from the lower surface of the main body 39410 of the first winning member 39400 to the center of gravity of the protruding portion of the game nail YK protruding from the back surface of the main body 39410 of the first winning member 39400. The game nail YK is not driven into the recessed portion 39060d (base plate 60), and damage to the recessed portion 39060d (base plate 60) can be suppressed.

Further, since the inner diameter of the recess 27060d10 is arranged to be about twice the outer diameter of the shaft portion of the game nail YK, misalignment due to the assembly tolerance and variation in the driving position of the game nail YK occur. However, the game nail YK is not driven into the recessed portion 39060d (base plate 60), and damage to the recessed portion 39060d (base plate 60) can be suppressed.

Further, even when the driving angle of the game nail YK is changed, the game nail YK is not driven into the recessed portion 39060d (base plate 60), and damage to the recessed portion 39060d (base plate 60) can be suppressed.

Further, it is possible to suppress a decrease in the strength of the recessed portion 39060d (base plate 60) and to suppress the processing cost of the recessed portion 27060d10.

Further, even if the game nails are driven into the game area of the game nail YK (two-dot chain line in FIG. 379 (b)) driven into the base plate 60 to a position where the lengths of the game nails are equal to each other, the game nails are driven into the main body 39410. Compared with the case where the tip of the YK does not protrude from the back surface of the main body 39410, the contact area between the game nail YK and the first winning member 39400 is larger, and the first winning member 39400 It is possible to suppress a decrease in the holding power of the game nail YK.

Further, it is not only the fastening of the countersunk screw N12 and the fastening hole 27060d4 that the first winning member 39400 rotates in the direction of the arrow R1 due to the collision of the gaming ball flowing down the gaming area with the game nail YK, but also the first winning member. Since the contact surface between the front surface of the main body 39410 of the 39400 and the bottom surface of the recessed 39060d (the surface on the right side of FIG. 379 (b)) can also be suppressed, the fastening hole 27060d4 formed on the side surface 39410a of the main body 39410 Damage can be suppressed.

Further, the distance L8 from the point where the game nail YK driven into the main body portion 39410 of the first winning member 39400 collides with the game ball flowing down the game area to the front surface of the main body portion 39410 of the first winning member 39400 (FIG. 379 (b)) is from the point where the game nail YK (two-dot chain line in FIG. 379 (b)) driven into the base plate 60 collides with the game ball flowing down the game area to the front surface of the base plate 60. It is larger than the distance L9 (see FIG. 379 (b)). Therefore, the amount of elastic deformation of the game nail YK can be increased, and it is possible to prevent the first winning member 39400 from being damaged by the force generated when the game ball flowing down the game area collides with the game nail YK. Further, since the amount of elastic deformation of the game nail YK can be increased, the plastic deformation of the game nail YK can be suppressed.

Further, as described above, since the outer shape of the notch portion 601a in the rear view is formed to be substantially the same as the outer shape of the overhanging portion 39420 of the first winning member 39400, the overhanging portion 39420 of the first winning member 39400 is formed. It can be arranged inside the notch 601a. As a result, it is possible to prevent the first winning member 39400 from protruding upward (upper side in FIG. 379 (b)) from the central opening 601 of the base plate 60.

Further, as described above, the width (dimensions) of the overhanging portion 39420 of the first winning member 39400 in the thickness direction (left-right direction in FIG. 379 (b)) is the thickness direction of the notch portion 601a (FIG. 379 (b)). ) Since it is formed larger than the width (dimension) in the left-right direction), it projects to the back side (left side in FIG. 379 (b)) of the back side of the base plate 60. Therefore, when the first winning member 39400 is removed from the recessed portion 39060d, the first winning member 39400 can be removed from the recessed portion 39060d by using the overhanging portion 39420 of the first winning member 39400 as a handle.

Further, the length of the game nail YK driven into the main body 40410 of the first winning member 40400 is the length of the game nail YK driven into the base plate 60 (two-dot chain line in FIG. 385 (b)). Even if the game nail YK is driven into the main body 40410 of the first winning member 40400 to a position equal to the length D2 protruding into the region, as described above, the back surface of the first winning member 40400 and the back surface of the base plate 60 are Since the game nails YK are arranged at substantially the same (facial) position, the game nail YK does not penetrate the main body 40410. Therefore, the contact area between the game nail YK and the first winning member 40400 becomes large, and it is possible to suppress a decrease in the holding force of the game nail YK due to the first winning member 40400.

Further, the collision of the game ball flowing down the game area with the game nail YK causes the first prize member 40400 to rotate in the direction of the arrow R1, not only at the fastening portion of the countersunk screw N13, but also at the main body of the first prize member 40400. Since the contact surface between the upper surface 40410a of the portion 40410 and the upper surface 40060d13 of the recessed portion 40060d can also be suppressed, damage to the fastening hole 27060d4 formed on the lower surface 40060d14 of the recessed portion 40060d can be suppressed.

Further, the distance L10 from the point where the game nail YK driven into the main body portion 40410 of the first winning member 40400 collides with the game ball flowing down the game area to the front surface of the main body portion 40410 of the first winning member 40400 (FIG. 385 (b)) is from the point where the game nail YK (two-dot chain line in FIG. 385 (b)) driven into the base plate 60 collides with the game ball flowing down the game area to the front surface of the base plate 60. It is larger than the distance L11 (see FIG. 385 (b)). Therefore, the amount of elastic deformation of the game nail YK can be increased, and it is possible to prevent the first winning member 40400 from being damaged by the force generated when the game ball flowing down the game area collides with the game nail YK. Further, since the amount of elastic deformation of the game nail YK can be increased, the plastic deformation of the game nail YK can be suppressed.

It is arranged at a position separated from the inner facing distance D3 (see FIG. 316) of the left and right side walls of the side wall 321 of the ball winning portion 320, which will be described later.

The positions of the centers of the two recesses 27060d10 in the vertical direction (vertical direction in FIG. 391 (b)) are from the lower surface of the recessed portion 41060d upward (upward in FIG. 391 (b)) to the main body of the first winning member 27400. It is arranged at a distance D4 (see FIG. 314 (c)) from the lower surface of the 27410 to the center of gravity of the protruding portion of the game nail YK protruding from the lower surface of the main body portion 27410 of the first winning member 27400.

Further, the bottom surface of the recess 41060d10 (the surface on the left side in FIG. 391 (c)) is on the back side (left side in FIG. 391 (c)) from the tip of the game nail YK (two-dot chain line in FIG. 391 (c)) driven into the base plate 60. Is arranged in. Further, the inner diameter of the recess 41060d10 is formed to be substantially the same as the outer diameter of the shaft portion of the game nail YK or slightly smaller than the outer diameter of the shaft portion.

The facing portion 41060l is a portion for suppressing a decrease in the rigidity of the base plate 60, and is formed as a plate-like body that connects (installs) the peripheral edges (opening edges) of the recessed portions 41060d in the base plate 60.

It will be described back from FIG. 388 to FIG. 390. As described above, the length of the game nail YK driven into the main body 27410 of the first winning member 27400 protruding into the game area is the length of the game nail YK driven into the base plate 60 (FIG. 390 (b) two-point chain wire). ), The game nail YK is driven into the main body 27410 from the front side (right side in FIG. 390 (b)) until the position equal to the length D2 protruding into the game area, and the tip of the game nail YK protrudes from the back of the main body 27410. Even in this state, the positions of the centers of the two recesses 41060d10 in the left-right direction (FIG. 390 (a) left-right direction) are in the left-right direction (FIG. 390 (a)) with the center of the recess 41060d in the left-right direction as the center in the front view. ) Left and right direction) are arranged at positions separated from each other by the distance D3 (see FIG. 316) between the left and right side walls of the side wall 321 of the ball winning portion 320 (see FIG. 316). The position in (a) vertical direction) is from the lower surface of the recessed portion 41060d upward (upward in FIG. 390 (a)) from the lower surface of the main body portion 27410 of the first winning member 27400 to the main body portion 27410 of the first winning member 27400. It is arranged at a position separated from the distance D4 (see FIG. 314 (c)) to the center of gravity of the protruding portion of the game nail YK protruding to the back surface.

That is, in a state where the main body portion 27410 is fastened and fixed to the base plate 60 by the countersunk screw N5, the axial center of the recess 41060d10 is located on the extension line of the axial center of the through hole 27410a of the main body portion 27410. As a result, the game nail YK is driven into the recess 41060d10 of the recess 41060d (base plate 60), and damage to the recess 41060d (base plate 60) can be suppressed.

Further, as compared with the case where a short game nail that does not protrude from the back surface of the main body 27410 is used, the tip of the game nail YK is held in the recess 41060d10, so that the game nail YK and the first winning member 27400 are combined. The contact area can be increased. Therefore, the holding force of the game nail YK driven into the first winning member 27400 can be secured.

Further, even when the first winning member 27400 is replaced due to the game nail YK being broken or bent, the tip of the game nail YK is inserted into the recess 41060d10 of the recessed portion 41060d, so that the first winning member is inserted. The 27400 is easy to remove.

Further, as described above, the width (dimensions) of the recessed portion 41060d in the thickness direction (FIG. 390 (b) left and right direction) is the width (dimension) of the main body portion 27410 of the first winning member 27400 (FIG. 390 (b) left and right). Since the front surface of the main body 27410 of the first winning member 27400 is formed on a surface perpendicular to the lower surface, the front surface of the base plate 60 and the main body are formed to have substantially the same dimensions as the width (dimension) of the direction). It can be arranged at a position substantially identical to the front surface of the 27410. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the front surface of the base plate 60 and the front surface of the main body portion 27410 of the first winning member 27400 from being arranged with a step. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the game ball from moving in a direction in which the player is disadvantaged (or advantageous) when the game ball flowing down the game area hits a step.

Here, the manufacturing method of the game board 13 in this embodiment will be described.

In the present embodiment, first, in the step before the first winning member 27400 is arranged inside the recessed portion 41060d, the recessed portion 41060d10 is formed in the recessed portion 41060d, and the game nail YK is formed in the base plate 60. Type in. Further, in a process different from driving the game nail YK into the base plate 60, the game nail YK is driven into the main body 27410.

As described above, the length of the game nail YK driven into the main body 27410 jumping out into the game area is the length D2 of the game nail YK driven into the base plate 60 (FIG. 390 (FIG. 390). When the game nail YK is driven from the front of the main body 27410 to a position equal to b)), the game nail YK driven into the main body 27410 penetrates the main body 27410, and the tip thereof penetrates from the back of the main body 27410. Protrude.

Next, the first winning member 27400 is arranged inside the recessed portion 41060d, and is fastened and fixed with a countersunk screw N5. In this case, the tip (protruding portion) of the game nail YK protruding from the back surface of the main body portion 27410 of the first winning member 27400 is included (inserted) in the recess 41060d10 of the recess portion 41060d, and the first is inside the recess portion 41060d. The winning member 27400 is arranged.

As described above, since the inner diameter of the recess 41060d10 is formed to have substantially the same size (or slightly smaller diameter) as the outer diameter of the shaft portion of the game nail YK, it protrudes from the back surface of the first winning member 27400 main body portion 27410. The tip (protruding portion) of the game nail YK is included (inserted) in the recess 41060d10 of the recess 41060d to connect the two. As a result, the first winning member 27400 is held by the base plate 60 through the holding force of the game nail YK by the recess 41060d10.

As a result, even if the countersunk screw N5 is loosened, the first winning member 27400 is less likely to rattle, and a step is formed between the front surface of the base plate 60 and the front surface of the first winning member 27400. Can be suppressed.

Further, when the first winning member 27400 is arranged inside the recessed portion 41060d, the tip of the game nail YK is included (inserted) in the recessed portion 41060d10 of the recessed portion 41060d, so that the base plate 60 (recessed portion 41060d) is included. ), The position of the first winning member 27400 (main body 27410) can be positioned. As a result, the workability of the work of arranging the first winning member 27400 in the recessed portion 41060d can be improved. Further, it is possible to improve the positional accuracy of the first winning member 27400 (main body portion 27410) with respect to the base plate 60 (recessed portion 41060d).

As shown in FIGS. 395 (a) to 395 (d), the first winning member 42400 is formed mainly including a main body portion 42410 formed from a rectangular parallelepiped having a substantially rectangular shape in front view.

The main body portion 42410 is a portion for driving the game nail YK, and is on the back surface of the main body portion 42410 (the left side surface of FIG. 395 (d)) from the upper surface of the main body portion 42410 (the upper surface of FIG. 395 (c)). It is provided with two recessed portions 42410a in which the back surface side (left side in FIG. 395 (d)) is opened and recessed toward the lower side (downward in FIG. 395 (c)).

As described above, the outer shape of the main body portion 42410 is formed to be substantially the same as the outer shape of the recessed portion 42060d formed in the base plate 60 (see FIG. 396).

The width (dimensions) of the main body portion 42410 in the thickness direction (left-right direction in FIG. 395 (d)) is the distance D1 (dimensions) from the front surface of the base plate 60 of the game nail YK driven into the base plate 60 to the tip of the game nail YK. It is formed smaller than (see FIG. 313 (b)). Further, the front surface (the surface on the right side of FIG. 395 (d)) and the back surface (the surface on the left side of FIG. 395 (d)) of the main body portion 42410 are vertically perpendicular to the bottom surface (the surface on the lower side of FIG. 395 (d)). It is formed.

The recessed portion 42410a is a portion into which a tool (for example, the tip of a flat-blade screwdriver) described later is inserted when the first winning member 42400 is removed from the base plate 60, and the back surface of the main body portion 42410 (FIG. 395 (d)). The left side surface) is arranged above the arrangement position of the game nail YK, which will be described later. The recessed portion 42410a is formed in a square when viewed from the rear, and the length of one side of the square is formed to be about 5 mm. Further, the width (dimension) of the recessed portion 42410a in the thickness direction (left-right direction in FIG. 395 (d)) is formed to be about 2 mm.

Next, the recessed portion 42060d in the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. 396.

396 (a) is a front perspective view of the recessed portion 42060d, FIG. 396 (b) is a front view of the recessed portion 42060d, and FIG. 396 (c) is a line CCCXCVIc-CCCXCVIc of FIG. 396 (b). It is sectional drawing of the recessed portion 42060d in the above.

As shown in FIGS. 396 (a) to 396 (c), as described above, the recessed portion 42060d is located below the central opening 601 of the base plate 60 (lower side of FIG. 396 (b)). It is formed by being recessed from the front side toward the back side (left side in FIG. 396 (c)). Due to the recessing of the recessed portion 42060d, a facing portion 42060l is formed in the base plate 60.

Further, the outer shape of the recessed portion 42060d in the front view is formed to be substantially the same as the outer shape of the first winning member 42400 (see FIG. 395).

Further, the width (dimensions) of the recessed portion 42060d in the thickness direction (left-right direction in FIG. 396 (c)) is the width (dimensions) in the thickness direction (see FIG. 395 (d)) of the main body portion 42410 of the first winning member 42400. ), And sufficiently larger than the distance from the front surface of the recessed portion 42060d to the back surface of the base plate 60 (the surface on the left side of FIG. 396 (c)) (for example, from the front surface of the recessed portion 42060d). The base plate 60 is formed (approximately 2.5 times as large as the distance to the back surface (the surface on the left side of FIG. 396 (c))).

The facing portion 42060l is a portion for suppressing a decrease in the rigidity of the base plate 60, and is formed as a plate-like body that connects (installs) the peripheral edges (opening edges) of the recessed portions 42060d in the base plate 60.

It will be described back from FIG. 392 to FIG. 394. The two game nails YK are arranged in the vertical direction (FIG. 394 (a) vertical direction) at the center of the main body portion 42410 of the first winning member 42400 in the lateral direction (FIG. 394 (a) horizontal direction). ) Is the distance D3 between the inner facing surfaces of the left and right side walls of the side wall 321 of the ball winning portion 320 in the longitudinal direction (FIG. 394 (a) left-right direction) centered on the longitudinal center of the main body portion 42410 of the first winning member 42400. (See FIG. 316) They are arranged apart. Further, the two game nails YK are arranged at the same height and are arranged so as to be inclined upward (upward in FIG. 394 (a)) by 5 degrees.

Here, as described above, the width (dimensions) of the recessed portion 42060d in the thickness direction (FIG. 394 (b) left-right direction) is the thickness direction of the main body portion 42410 of the first winning member 42400 (FIG. 394 (b)). It is formed to have substantially the same width (dimension) as the width (dimension) (in the left-right direction), and is formed sufficiently larger than the distance from the front surface of the recessed portion 42060d to the back surface of the base plate 60 (the left surface in FIG. 394 (b)). Therefore, the game nail YK driven into the first winning member 42400 and the base plate 60 has a sufficiently larger contact area with the first winning member 42400 than the base plate 60.

Therefore, the holding force of the game nail YK by the first winning member 42400 is sufficiently larger than that of the base plate 60, and even in a situation where the game nail YK is repeatedly driven by breaking or bending. By replacing the first winning member 42400, it is possible to suppress a decrease in the holding force of the game nail YK.

Next, a method of fixing the first winning member 42400 to the base plate 60 will be described.

First, the main body portion 42410 of the first winning member 42400 is arranged inside the recessed portion 42060d. In this case, the back surface of the main body portion 42410 of the first winning member 42400 (the surface on the left side of FIG. 394 (b)) and the front surface of the recessed portion 42060d are brought into contact with each other, and the lower surface 42410b of the main body portion 42410 of the first winning member 42400 is brought into contact with each other. The lower surface of the recessed portion 42060d is brought into contact with the lower surface 42060d11.

As described above, the width (dimension) of the main body portion 42410 in the thickness direction (FIG. 394 (b) left-right direction) is the width (dimension) of the recess portion 42060d in the thickness direction (FIG. 394 (b) left-right direction). It is formed to have substantially the same dimensions. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the front surface of the base plate 60 and the front surface of the main body portion 42410 of the first winning member 42400 from being arranged with a step, and the game ball flowing down the game area hits the step, which is disadvantageous to the player. It is possible to suppress the movement of the game ball in a (or advantageous) direction.

Next, the game nail YK is driven into the first winning member 42400 (main body portion 42410) arranged in the base plate 60 (recessed portion 42060d) from the front surface of the main body portion 42410. As described above, the width (dimensions) of the main body portion 42410 of the first winning member 42400 in the thickness direction (FIG. 394 (c) left-right direction) is from the front surface of the base plate 60 (the surface on the right side in FIG. 394 (b)). Since the game nail YK (FIG. 394 (b) two-dot chain line) driven into the base plate 60 is formed to be smaller than the distance D1 to the tip, the game nail YK driven into the main body portion 42410 of the first winning member 42400. The front of the game nail YK until the length of the game nail YK protruding into the game area equals the length D2 of the game nail YK (FIG. 394 (b) two-dot chain line) driven into the base plate 60. When the first winning member 42400 is driven into the main body 42410 from the side (right side of FIG. 394 (b)), the game nail YK driven into the main body 42410 of the first winning member 42400 is driven into the main body 42410 of the first winning member 42400. The tip of the game nail YK protrudes from the back surface (the left side surface of FIG. 394 (b)) of the main body portion 42410 of the first winning member 42400.

Therefore, the tip of the game nail YK protruding from the back surface (the surface on the left side of FIG. 394 (b)) of the main body portion 42410 of the first winning member 42400 is driven into the recessed portion 42060d (face-to-face portion 42060l) of the base plate 60 (that is, the facing portion 42060l). The tip of the game nail YK is connected to the base plate 60 (face-to-face portion 42060l), and the first winning member 42400 is fixed to the base plate 60 (recessed portion 42060d) by such connection.

As a result, the screwing work for fixing the first winning member 42400 to the base plate 60 becomes unnecessary, the work man-hours can be reduced, and the product cost can be suppressed.

Further, since it is not necessary to provide a through hole for inserting a screw into the main body portion 42410 of the first winning member 42400, it is possible to reduce the work man-hours and suppress the decrease in the strength of the main body portion 42410.

A center frame 86 (not shown) is attached to the base plate 60. The main body portion 42410 of the first winning member 42400 is arranged so that its upper surface (upper surface in FIG. 394 (b)) is in contact with the outer peripheral surface (lower surface) of the center frame 86.

In this way, the upper surface of the first winning member 42400 (main body portion 42410) is arranged so that the outer peripheral surface (lower surface) of the center frame 86 is in contact with each other, and as described above, the main body portion of the first winning member 42400 Since the lower surface 42410b of the 42410 and the lower surface 42060d11 of the recessed portion 42060d are arranged in contact with each other, the first winning member 42400 is lowered (FIG. 394 (b)) due to the collision of the game ball flowing down the game area with the game nail YK. ) It is possible to effectively suppress the movement in the downward direction) or the rotation in the direction of the arrow R1.

Further, as described above, since the length of one side of the rear view square of the recessed portion 42410a is formed to be about 5 mm, it is possible to secure the distance between the recessed portion 42410a and the game nail YK. .. Therefore, the game nail YK is driven into the vicinity of the recessed portion 42410a, or the game nail YK is driven into the recessed portion 42410a, and the main body portion 42410 (near the recessed portion 42410a) is damaged (chips or cracks occur). Can be suppressed.

Next, a method of removing the first winning member 42400 from the base plate 60 will be described.

As described above, when the game nail YK is driven into the first winning member 42400 and the base plate 60, the first winning member 42400 is fixed to the base plate 60 and is therefore driven into the first winning member 42400 and the base plate 60. By pulling out the game nail YK from the base plate 60, the first winning member 42400 can be removed from the base plate 60.

Specifically, in a state where the center frame 86 is removed from the base plate 60, the tip of a tool having a thin tip and a rectangular cross-sectional shape (for example, a flat-blade screwdriver, not shown) is used as the main body of the first winning member 42400. The tool is operated by inserting it into the recessed portion 42410a arranged on the back surface of the portion 42410 (the surface on the left side of FIG. 394 (b)). That is, the first winning member 42400 is displaced to the front side (right side in FIG. 394 (b)) of the base plate 60 by the principle of leverage with the upper end of the front surface of the recessed portion 42060d as a fulcrum. As a result, the tip of the game nail YK can be pulled out from the base plate 60 (face-to-face portion 42060 l), and as a result, the first winning member 42400 (main body portion 42410) can be removed from the base plate 60.

As described above, the game nail YK driven into the first winning member 42400 (main body portion 42410) has a sufficiently larger contact area with the first winning member 42400 than the contact area with the base plate 60. With the displacement of the first winning member 42400, the tip of the game nail YK can be reliably pulled out from the base plate 60 (face-to-face portion 42060l).

Further, as described above, the length of one side of the rear view square of the recessed portion 42410a is formed to be about 5 mm, and the width (dimension) in the thickness direction (FIG. 394 (b) left-right direction) is formed to be about 2 mm. Therefore, for example, it is possible to insert the tip of a tool having a thin tip and a rectangular cross-sectional shape into the recessed portion 42410a, such as a flat-blade screwdriver, and it is possible to suppress a decrease in the rigidity of the main body portion 42410.

Further, as described above, the recessed portion 42410a is arranged above the arrangement position of the game nail YK (upward in FIG. 394 (b)). That is, the game nail YK is located on the side where it is tilted upward. Therefore, by operating the tool inserted in the recessed portion 42410a in the direction of pressing the back surface of the main body portion 42410 with its tip (the direction in which the main body portion 42410 protrudes toward the front side of the base plate 60), the game nail While suppressing the bending of the tip of the YK (that is, suppressing the expansion of the hole (recess) of the facing portion 42060l in which the tip of the game nail YK is driven), a small force is applied from the base plate 60. The first winning member 42400 can be removed.

Next, the 102nd embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 397 to 401. The same parts as those of the above-described embodiments are designated by the same reference numerals, and the description thereof will be omitted.

Is. In addition, in FIG. 398 and FIG. 399 (b), the illustration of the center frame 86 is omitted.

As shown in FIGS. 397 to 399, in the base plate 60, the center frame 86 is attached to the lower side (lower side of FIG. 399 (b)) of the central opening 601 of the base plate 60, from the front to the back of the base plate 60. A recessed portion 43060d that is recessed toward the side (left side in FIG. 399 (b)) is formed.

The winning opening unit 43300 is composed of the first winning member 43400 and the second winning member 3500, and the recessed portion 43060d is formed so that the outer shape in the front view is substantially the same as the outer shape of the first winning member 43400. As a result, the first winning member 43400 can be arranged inside the recessed portion 43060d.

Here, the first winning member 43400 in the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. 400.

It is formed to have substantially the same dimensions.

Further, as described above, in a state where the first winning member 43400 is arranged inside the recessed portion 43060d, the overhanging portion 43420 formed on the back surface of the main body portion 43410 of the first winning member 43400 is the main body portion 43410. The notch 43060d11 arranged in the center of the longitudinal direction (left-right direction of FIG. 399) and formed in the recess 43060d is arranged below the center of the recess 43060d (lower side of FIG. 399 (a)). Therefore, the notch portion 43060d11 formed in the recessed portion 43060d can include the overhanging portion 43420 formed on the back surface of the main body portion 43410 of the first winning member 43400.

Therefore, it is possible to prevent the front surface of the base plate 60 and the front surface of the main body portion 43410 of the first winning member 43400 from being arranged with a step from the back surface to the front surface direction (left-right direction in FIG. 399 (b)). , The game ball flowing down the game area hits a step, and the player can prevent the game ball from moving in a disadvantageous (or advantageous) direction.

Further, as described above, the overhanging portion 43420 formed on the back surface of the main body portion 43410 of the first winning member 43400 and the notched portion 43060d11 formed in the recessed portion 43060d are formed in substantially the same shape. , The overhanging portion 43420 formed on the back surface of the main body portion 43410 of the first winning member 43400 and the notched portion 43060d11 formed in the recessed portion 43060d are in contact with each other in the left-right direction of the first winning member 43400 (FIG. 399 (FIG. 399). a) Displacement in the horizontal direction) and the vertical direction (FIG. 399 (a) vertical direction) can be suppressed.

Further, as described above, the width (dimension) of the overhanging portion 43420 formed on the back surface of the main body portion 43410 of the first winning member 43400 in the thickness direction (left-right direction in FIG. 399 (b)) is the recessed portion 43060d. Since the distance from the front to the back surface of the base plate 60 (the left surface of FIG. 399 (b)) is formed to be substantially the same, the first prize is won from the back surface of the base plate 60 (the left surface of FIG. 399 (b)). It is possible to prevent the overhanging portion 43420 formed on the back surface of the main body portion 43410 of the member 43400 from protruding.

Further, as described above, the width (dimensions) of the main body portion 43410 of the first winning member 43400 in the thickness direction (FIG. 399 (c) left-right direction) is the front surface of the base plate 60 (the surface on the right side in FIG. 399 (b)). ) To the tip of the game nail YK (two-dot chain line in FIG. 399 (b)) driven into the base plate 60. Therefore, the game is driven into the main body 43410 of the first winning member 43400. The length of the nail YK protruding into the game area is equal to the length D2 of the nail YK driven into the base plate 60 (the two-dot chain line in FIG. 399 (b)). Is driven into the main body 43410 of the first winning member 43400 from the front side (right side in FIG. 399 (b)), and the game nail YK driven into the main body 43410 of the first winning member 43400 is the main body of the first winning member 43400. The tip of the game nail YK penetrates the portion 43410 and protrudes from the back surface (the surface on the left side of FIG. 399 (b)) of the main body portion 43410 of the first winning member 43400.

As described above, since the back surface of the main body portion 43410 of the first winning member 43400 (the surface on the left side of FIG. 399 (b)) and the front surface of the recessed portion 43060d are arranged in contact with each other, the main body of the first winning member 43400 is arranged. The tip of the game nail YK protruding from the back surface of the portion 43410 (the surface on the left side in FIG. 399 (b)) is driven into the base plate 60, and the first winning member 43400 is fixed to the base plate 60.

Therefore, the screwing work for fixing the first winning member 43400 to the base plate 60 becomes unnecessary, the work man-hours can be reduced, and the product cost can be suppressed.

Further, it is not necessary to provide a through hole for inserting a screw into the main body portion 43410 of the first winning member 43400, and it is possible to suppress a decrease in the strength of the main body portion 43410.

FIG. 411 (d) is a cross-sectional view of the recessed portion 45060d in the CDXId-CDXId line of FIG. 411 (c).

As shown in FIGS. 411 (a) to 411 (d), the recessed portion 45060d is formed on the lower side (lower side of FIG. 411 (c)) of the central opening 601 of the base plate 60 and the through hole 27060a as described above. It is formed by being recessed in two places on the upper side (upper side in FIG. 411 (c)) from the back surface of the base plate 60 toward the front side (right side in FIG. 411 (d)). Due to the recessing of the recessed portion 45060d, a mounted portion 45060l is formed on the base plate 60.

Further, the two recessed portions 45060d are arranged at the same height, and the outer shape in the rear view is formed into a circle substantially the same as the outer shape of the first winning member 45400 (see FIG. 410).

Further, the recessed portion 45060d is formed on the left and right side walls of the side wall 321 of the ball winning portion 320 formed in the second winning member 3500 in the left-right direction (the left-right direction in FIG. 411 (c)) with the center of the base plate 60 as the center. It is arranged at a position separated from the inside facing distance D3 (see FIG. 316).

The diameter of the recessed portion 45060d is formed to be approximately half the size of the through hole 27060a in the left-right direction (left-right direction in FIG. 411 (c)).

The width (dimensions) of the recessed portion 45060d in the thickness direction (left-right direction of FIG. 411 (d)) is the width (dimensions) of the main body portion 45410 of the first winning member 45400 in the thickness direction (see FIG. 410 (d)). ), And sufficiently larger than the distance from the bottom surface 45060d11 of the recessed portion 45060d to the front surface of the base plate 60 (the surface on the right side of FIG. 411 (d)) (for example, the front surface of the recessed portion 45060d). The distance from the base plate 60 to the front surface (the surface on the right side of FIG. 411 (d)) is approximately 3.5 times as large as the distance formed from the base plate 60.

Further, a female screw is formed inside the recessed portion 45060d.

The attached portion 45060l is a portion for suppressing a decrease in the rigidity of the base plate 60, and is formed as a plate-like body that connects (installs) the peripheral edges (opening edges) of the recessed portions 45060d in the base plate 60.

This will be described by returning from FIG. 406 to FIG. 409. The two game nails YK are arranged at the center of the main body portion 42410 of the first winning member 42400, which is disposed inside the recessed portion 45060d. Further, the two game nails YK are arranged at the same height and are arranged so as to be inclined upward (upward in FIG. 409 (a)) by 5 degrees.

Here, as described above, the width (dimensions) of the recessed portion 45060d in the thickness direction (FIG. 409 (b) left-right direction) is the thickness direction of the main body portion 45410 of the first winning member 45400 (FIG. 409 (b)). It is formed to have substantially the same width (dimension) as the width (dimension) in the left-right direction, and is formed sufficiently larger than the distance from the bottom surface 45060d11 of the recessed portion 45060d to the front surface of the base plate 60 (the surface on the right side in FIG. 409 (b)). Therefore, the game nail YK driven into the first winning member 45400 and the base plate 60 has a sufficiently larger contact area with the first winning member 45400 than the base plate 60.

Therefore, the holding force of the game nail YK by the first winning member 45400 is sufficiently larger than that of the base plate 60, and even in a situation where the game nail YK is repeatedly driven by breaking or bending. By replacing the first winning member 45400, it is possible to suppress a decrease in the holding force of the game nail YK.

Further, as described above, the recessed portion 45060d has a side wall 321 of the ball winning portion 320 formed in the second winning member 3500 in the left-right direction (left-right direction in FIG. 409 (b)) with the center of the base plate 60 as the center. The distance between the inner facing surfaces D3 (see FIG. 316) of the walls on both the left and right sides of the wall is separated, and the diameter of the recessed portion 45060d is the dimension of the through hole 27060a in the left-right direction (FIG. 409 (b) left-right direction). Since it is formed to be substantially half the size, the two recessed portions 45060d are formed on the base plate 60 apart from each other, and the strength of the base plate 60 can be increased.

Next, a method of fixing the first winning member 45400 to the base plate 60 will be described.

The first winning member 45400 is arranged inside the recessed portion 45060d by screwing the male screw formed on the side surface of the first winning member 45400 and the female screw formed inside the recessed portion 45060d.

Therefore, it is possible to prevent the first winning member 45400 from falling off from the base plate 60. Further, since it is not necessary to attach the first winning member 45400 to the front surface of the base plate 60 (the surface on the right side of FIG. 409 (b)), it is possible to suppress the occurrence of a step in the game area, and the game flowing down the game area. It is possible to prevent the player from moving in a direction that is disadvantageous (or advantageous) when the ball hits a step.

Further, as described above, the width (dimensions) of the recessed portion 45060d in the thickness direction (FIG. 409 (b) left and right direction) is the thickness direction of the main body portion 45410 of the first winning member 45400 (FIG. 409 (b) left and right). Since it is formed to have substantially the same size as the width (dimension) of the direction), it is possible to prevent the main body portion 45410 of the first winning member 45400 from protruding toward the back surface side (left side of FIG. 409 (b)) of the base plate 60. The width (dimensions) of the base plate 60 in the thickness direction (left-right direction in FIG. 409 (b)) can be reduced.

Further, the countersunk screw for fixing the first winning member 45400 to the base plate 60 becomes unnecessary, and the product cost can be suppressed.

Further, it is not necessary to provide a through hole for inserting a screw into the main body portion 45410 of the first winning member 45400, it is possible to suppress a decrease in the strength of the main body portion 45410, and the main body portion 45410 of the first winning member 45400 can be used.

Further, by rotating the projecting portion 45420 arranged on the back surface of the main body portion 45410 of the first winning member 45400 (the surface on the left side in FIG. 409 (b)), the male screw formed on the side surface of the first winning member 45400. And the female screw formed inside the recessed portion 45060d can be screwed, and the work man-hours can be reduced.

To remove the first prize member 45400 from the base plate 60, the first prize is obtained in a state where the game nail YK driven into the first prize member 42400 and the base plate 60 is removed from the base plate 60 of the first prize member 45400. This is done by releasing the screwing between the member 45400 and the base plate 60.

Here, by rotating the projecting portion 45420 arranged on the back surface (the surface on the left side of FIG. 409 (b)) of the main body portion 45410 of the first winning member 45400 in the direction opposite to that at the time of fixing, the first prize member 45400 is first. The screwing between the male screw formed on the side surface of the winning member 45400 and the female screw formed inside the recessed portion 45060d is released, and the work man-hours can be reduced.

Although the present invention has been described above based on the above-described embodiment, the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and it is easy to make various modifications and improvements within a range that does not deviate from the gist of the present invention. It can be inferred.

In each of the above embodiments, a game machine may be configured by replacing or combining a part or all of one embodiment with a part or all of another one or a plurality of other embodiments.

In the first embodiment, in order to retract the ball receiving portion 467 from the third position to the second position or the first position, the drive motor KM2 is driven, but the third position to the second position or the first position is followed. The drive for retracting to one position may be driven by an urging spring. For example, an urging spring is arranged between the rack 466 or the movable rack 464 and the base member 470 so that an elastic force is applied as the rack 466 or the movable rack 464 is displaced.

In this case, when the ball receiving portion 467 is displaced to the third position and performs the payout operation, the driving of the drive motor KM3 is turned off, so that the ball receiving portion 467 is moved to the second position or the second position by the urging force of the urging spring. It can be displaced to one position side.

Therefore, the ball receiving portion 467 can be displaced by using the time until the driving force of the drive motor KM2 is switched at the third position, so that the game ball is ejected from the inside of the ball receiving portion 467. It is possible to suppress the wobbling of the lower displacement member 440 due to the reaction of the operation.

That is, when the game ball is discharged from the inside of the ball receiving portion 467, the load of the lower displacement member 440 is reduced by the amount of the discharged game ball, and the lower displacement member 440 is likely to be displaced upward due to the reaction. By immediately displacing the ball receiving portion 467, a force that displaces the base member 470 downward by the reaction due to the rotational displacement of the ball receiving portion 467 is applied to cancel the reaction when the ball is ejected from the lower displacement member 440. be able to.

It may be curved in an arc shape.

In this case, as the countersunk screws N2 are screwed into the two fastening holes 25471, the fastening member 25470 is pressed against the first winning member 25400, and the fastening member 25470 is brought into close contact with the surface of the first winning member 25400. It can be done easily. Therefore, the support rigidity of the first winning member 25400 by the fastening member 25470 can be increased. As a result, when the game nail YK is planted on the front surface of the first winning member 25400, it is possible to prevent the first winning member 25400 from being damaged.

In the 85th embodiment, the case where the through hole 26413 through which the countersunk screw N2 is inserted is formed at a position other than the contact surface 26414 has been described, but the present invention is not necessarily limited to this. For example, a through hole 26413 through which the countersunk screw N2 is inserted is formed on the contact surface of the first winning member 26413, and the countersunk screw N2 inserted through the through hole 26413 of the first winning member 26400 is screwed. The fastening hole 26060d4 may be formed on the inclined surface 26060c1 of the base plate 60.

In this case, it is possible to prevent the formation of a gap between the first winning member 26400 and the base plate 60. Therefore, since the axial force of the countersunk screw N2 can be secured, the first winning member 26400 can be firmly fastened and fixed to the base plate 60.

In the 85th embodiment, the case where the contact surface 26060c1 is formed at a position different from the extension line in the planting direction of the game nail YK has been described, but the present invention is not necessarily limited to this. For example, the contact surface 26060c1 and the inclined surface 26060c1 may be formed on the extension line in the planting direction of the game nail YK.

In this case, the pressing force associated with the planting of the game nail YK can be directly applied to the contact surface 26060c1 and the inclined surface 26060c1. As a result, bending deformation of the first winning member 26400 can be suppressed, and damage such as cracking can be suppressed.

In the 86th embodiment, the 88th embodiment to the 94th embodiment and the 98th embodiment, the case where the recess 27060d10 is recessed in the recessed portion 27060d or the like in a circular shape in the front view has been described, but it is not always the case. It is not limited. For example, in front view, a circular shape, an elliptical shape, a polygonal shape, or a combination of these may be used. Further, a circular shape, an elliptical shape, a polygonal shape, or a combination of these may be used in the direction in which the game nail YK is driven. As a result, the degree of freedom in the shape of the recess 27060d10 can be ensured.

In the 86th embodiment, the 88th embodiment to the 94th embodiment and the 98th embodiment, the case where the elastic member G1 having substantially the same shape as the concave portion 27060d10 is inserted into the concave portion 27060d10 has been described, but it is not necessarily the case. It is not limited. For example, the shape (inner diameter) of the recess 27060d10 may be larger than the shape (outer diameter) of the elastic member G1.

In this case, the shape (outer diameter) of the elastic member G1 which is an incompressible member is increased (diameter) in the recess 27060d10 by the diameter of the driven game nail YK, so that the elastic member G1 It is preferable that the outer peripheral surface of the recess 27060d10 is in close contact with the inner peripheral surface of the recess 27060d10. This is because the viscoelastic property of the elastic member G1 can be utilized more effectively.

In the 86th embodiment, the 88th embodiment to the 94th embodiment and the 98th embodiment, the bottom surface of the recess 27060d10 (the surface on the left side of FIG. 315 (c)) does not need to be formed on a uniform surface. Therefore, for example, the recess 27060d10 may be formed by drilling, and the bottom surface of the recess 27060d10 may be left in the shape of the tip of the drill. As a result, the manufacturing cost can be suppressed.

In the 86th embodiment, the 88th embodiment to the 94th embodiment and the 98th embodiment, the case where the elastic member G1 is inserted into the recess 27060d10 is shown, but the case is not necessarily limited to this. For example, it is not necessary to insert another member inside the recess 27060d10, and the manufacturing cost can be suppressed. Even in this case, the game nail YK is not driven into the base plate 60, and damage to the base plate 60 can be suppressed.

In the 86th embodiment, the 88th embodiment to the 94th embodiment and the 98th embodiment, the case where the diameter of the recess 27060d10 is arranged to be about twice the diameter of the game nail YK has been described. , Not necessarily limited to this. The diameter of the recess 27060d10 is preferably set in the range of 1.5 times or more and 4 times or less of the diameter of the game nail YK, and more preferably set in the range of 2 times or more and 3 times or less. By setting the diameter of the recess 27060d10 to a predetermined value or less, the rigidity of the base plate 60 is ensured, and by setting the diameter of the recess 27060d10 to a predetermined value or more, the driving angle of the game nail YK is deviated or the driving position. It is possible to prevent the game nail YK from being driven into the base plate 60 when the misalignment of the above occurs.

In the 86th embodiment, the first winning member 27400 is in a state after the first winning member 27400 is attached to the recessed portion 27060d (base plate 60) and before the second winning member 3500 is attached to the base plate 60. Although the case where the game nail YK is driven into is described, it is not necessarily limited to this. For example, a game nail YK may be driven into the main body portion 27410 of the first winning member 27400 in a step prior to attaching the first winning member 27400 to the recessed portion 27060d (base plate 60). In this case, when the first winning member 27400 is replaced due to the game nail YK being broken or bent, the work time required for the replacement can be shortened. To explain in detail, by preparing the first winning member 27400 in which the normal game nail YK has been driven in advance, it is possible to eliminate the work of driving the game nail YK into the first winning member 27400 at the time of replacement. ..

Further, in the 86th embodiment, when the through hole 27410a is formed in the main body 27410 of the first winning member 27400 before the game nail YK is driven at the position where the game nail YK is driven (see FIG. 314). However, it is not necessarily limited to this. For example, the through hole 27410a may not be formed in the main body portion 27410 of the first winning member 27400. In this case, the manufacturing cost can be suppressed.

In the 87th to 100th embodiments, the first winning members 28400 to 40400 in which the game nail YK is driven have been described, but the main body of the first winning member 28400 to 40400 before the game nail YK is driven. The 28410-40410 may be provided with a through hole (prepared hole) formed at a position where the game nail YK is driven, which is formed to be equal to or slightly smaller than the outer diameter of the shaft portion of the game nail YK. In this case, the contact resistance between the game nail YK and the through hole can be reduced, and the main body portions 28410-40410 of the first winning members 28400 to 40400 can be prevented from being damaged by the impact when the game nail YK is driven. Further, it can be used as a mark of the driving position of the game nail YK, and the working time can be shortened.

After that, the second winning member 3500 is attached to the base plate 60. In this case, the same effect as the manufacturing method of the game board 13 in the 86th embodiment can be obtained.

However, in the 87th to 94th embodiments and the 100th embodiment, the first winning member is in the step prior to attaching the first winning member 28400 to 35400 to the recessed portion 28060d to 41060d (base plate 60). The game nail YK may be driven into the main body portions 28410 to 45410 of 28400 to 35400. In this case, when the first winning member 28400 or the like is replaced due to the game nail YK being broken or bent, the work time required for the replacement can be shortened. To explain in detail, by preparing the first winning members 28400 to 35400 in which the normal game nail YK has been driven in advance, it is not necessary to drive the game nail YK into the first winning member 28400 to 35400 at the time of replacement. can do.

In the 87th embodiment, the case where a part of the shape of the first concave portion 28060d10 formed in the recessed portion 28060d in the top view is formed in a semicircular shape is not necessarily limited to this. For example, a circular shape, an elliptical shape, a polygonal shape, or a combination thereof may be used. As a result, the degree of freedom in the shape of the first recess 28060d10 can be secured.

In the 88th embodiment, the recess 29060d10 is circularly recessed in the recess 29060d in the direction of driving the game nail YK (front view of the bottom surface of the recess 29060d (the surface on which the recess 29060d10 is recessed)). The case has been described, but it is not necessarily limited to this. For example, a circular shape, an elliptical shape, a polygonal shape, or a combination of these may be used in the direction in which the game nail YK is driven.

The position on the bottom surface (the surface on the left side of FIG. 332 (c)) of the lower surface 30060d14 of the recessed portion 30060d is formed below the arrangement position of the recess 27060d10 in the vertical direction (vertical direction of FIG. 332 (c)). The case has been described, but it is not necessarily limited to this. It is sufficient that the game nail YK is not driven into the upper surface 30060d13 and the lower surface 30060d14 of the recessed portion 30060d, and to that extent, the position of the upper surface 30060d13 of the recessed portion 30060d on the bottom surface (the surface on the left side of FIG. 332 (c)) is viewed from the front. , It is formed above the center of the recess 27060d10 in the vertical direction (vertical direction in FIG. 332 (c)), and the position on the bottom surface (the surface on the left side in FIG. 332 (c)) of the lower surface 30060d14 of the recess 30060d is the front view, the recess 27060d10. It may be formed below the center in the vertical direction (vertical direction in FIG. 332 (c)).

Further, the upper surface 30060d13 and the lower surface 30060d14 of the recessed portion 30060d do not have to be formed at the same inclination angle, and the upper surface 30060d13 and the lower surface 30060d14 may be formed at different inclination angles. As a result, it is possible to secure the degree of freedom in the shape of the recessed portion 30060d and the main body portion 30410 of the first winning member 30400.

In the 90th embodiment, the case where the through hole 31413 is formed in the vertical direction with respect to the tapered surface 31410a of the main body portion 31410 has been described, but the present invention is not necessarily limited to this. For example, it may be formed in the vertical direction with respect to the upper surface of the main body portion 31410. As a result, the workability of assembling the first winning member 31400 is improved.

In the 91st embodiment, the overhanging portion 32420 of the first winning member 32400 is arranged at the center of the side surface (the surface on the left and right sides of FIG. 341 (b)) in the vertical direction (vertical direction of FIG. 341 (b)) of the main body portion 32410. The case where it is installed has been explained, but it is not necessarily limited to this. For example, the side surface of the main body 32410 (the surface on the left and right sides of FIG. 341 (b)) above the center (upper side of FIG. 341 (b)) or the side surface of the main body 32410 (the surface on the left and right sides of FIG. 341 (b)). It may be arranged below the center (lower side in FIG. 341 (b)), and the left and right overhanging portions 32420 are arranged at different positions in the vertical direction (vertical direction in FIG. 341 (b)). It may be installed.

Further, although the case where the center of the through hole 3413 is arranged at a position corresponding to the center of the overhanging portion 32420 has been described, the present invention is not necessarily limited to this. For example, the through hole 3413 may be arranged in the main body portion 32410. In this case, the degree of freedom in the shape of the recessed portion 32060d and the first winning member 32400 can be ensured, and the recessed portion of the overhanging portion 32420 can be suppressed to ensure the rigidity thereof.

In the 92nd embodiment, the case where the center of the through hole 3413 is arranged at a position corresponding to the center of the overhanging portion 32420 of the first winning member 33400 has been described, but the present invention is not necessarily limited to this. For example, the through hole 3413 may be arranged in the main body portion 32410. In this case, the degree of freedom in the shape of the recessed portion 33060d and the first winning member 33400 can be ensured, and the recessed portion of the overhanging portion 32420 can be suppressed to ensure the rigidity thereof.

In the 95th embodiment, the case where the inner diameter of the game nail through hole 36060d20 in the direction of driving the game nail YK is arranged larger than the outer diameter of the head of the game nail YK has been described, but it is not necessarily limited to this. It is not something that can be done. For example, in the direction of driving the game nail YK, the inner diameter of the game nail through hole 36060d20 may be formed to be equal to or slightly smaller than the outer diameter of the shaft portion of the game nail YK in the state before the game nail YK is driven. This form is manufactured by first fastening and fixing the main body portion 36410 to the base plate 60 with a countersunk screw N9, and then driving the game nail YK into the main body portion 36410 while inserting the game nail through hole 36060d20.

According to this form, in a state where the base plate 60 and the first winning member 36400 are loosened and the first winning member 36400 can be moved due to the collision of the game ball flowing down the game area with the game nail YK. However, since the outer peripheral surface of the shaft portion of the game nail YK is in contact with (or is in a state where it can be contacted) the inner peripheral surface of the game nail through hole 36060d20, the first winning member 36400 is moved to the back side. It can be suppressed from moving. Further, even if the inner diameter of the game nail through hole 36060d20 is increased due to the collision of the game ball with the game nail YK (vibration of the game nail YK), the inner diameter after the diameter increase is outside the head of the game nail YK. As long as the diameter is not exceeded, the head of the game nail YK cannot pass through the game nail through hole 36060d20, so that the first winning member 36400 can be prevented from falling off to the back side.

In the 96th to 99th embodiments, the description of the manufacturing method of the game board 13 is omitted, but the first method before the game nail YK is driven is the same as the manufacturing method of the game board 13 in the 95th embodiment. After the winning members 37400 to 40400 are attached to the recessed portion 37060d (base plate 60), the game nail YK is driven into the main body portions 37410 to 40410 of the first winning member 37400 to 40400. After that, the second winning member 3500 is attached to the base plate 60. In this case, the same effect as the manufacturing method of the game board 13 in the 95th embodiment can be obtained.

However, in the 96th embodiment, the 97th embodiment and the 99th embodiment, in the step before attaching the first winning member 37400 to 40400 to the recessed portion 37060d to 40060d (base plate 60), the first winning member The game nail YK may be driven into the main body portions 37410 to 40410 of 37400 to 40400. In this case, when the first winning member 37400 or the like is replaced due to the game nail YK being broken or bent, the work time required for the replacement can be shortened. To explain in detail, by preparing the first winning member 37400 or the like into which the normal game nail YK has been driven in advance, it is not necessary to drive the game nail YK into the first winning member 37400 or the like at the time of replacement. Can be done.

In the 101st to 104th embodiments, the game nails YK of the main body portions 4241 to 45410 of the first winning members 42400 to 45400 are formed at positions equal to or slightly smaller than the outer diameter of the shaft portion of the game nails YK. A through hole (prepared hole) to be formed may be provided. Similarly, a through hole (prepared hole) formed to be equal to or slightly smaller than the outer diameter of the shaft portion of the game nail YK is provided at a position where the game nail YK of the recessed portion 42060d to 43060d, the elastic member G2 or the base plate 60 is driven. It may be arranged. Further, both the main body portions 4241 to 45410, the recessed portions 42060d to 43060d, the elastic member G2, and the base plate 60 of the first winning members 42400 to 45400 are formed to be equal to or slightly smaller than the outer diameter of the shaft portion of the game nail YK. A through hole (prepared hole) may be provided.

When a through hole (prepared hole) equal to or slightly smaller than the outer diameter of the shaft portion of the game nail YK is arranged at the position where the game nail YK of the main body portions 4241 to 45410 of the first winning member 42400 to 45400 is driven. It is possible to reduce the contact resistance between the game nail YK and the through hole, and prevent the main body portion 42410 and the like of the first winning member 42400 from being damaged by the impact when the game nail YK is driven. Further, for the first winning members 42400 to 44400, the through hole (prepared hole) of the main body portion 4241 to 44410 can be used as a mark of the driving position of the game nail YK, and the working time can be shortened.

When a through hole (prepared hole) equal to or slightly smaller than the outer diameter of the shaft portion of the game nail YK is provided at a position where the game nail YK of the recessed portion 42060d to 43060d, the elastic member G2 or the base plate 60 is driven. While reducing the contact resistance between the game nail YK and the through hole, a part having a small width (dimension) in the thickness direction (a part where a recessed portion 42060d of the base plate 60 or the like is formed due to an impact when driving the game nail YK, for example. , The facing portion 42060 l) can be prevented from being damaged. Further, when the game nail YK driven into the main body portions 4241 to 44410 of the first winning members 42400 to 44400 reaches the recessed portions 42060d to 43060d and is driven, the driving resistance changes (decreases). Therefore, it is possible to make the operator (or the driving machine of the game nail YK) recognize that the game nail YK has been driven into the recessed portion 42060d or the like by this change in the driving resistance. As a result, the amount of the game nail YK driven into the recessed portion 42060d or the like having a small width (dimension) in the thickness direction is increased, and the tip of the game nail YK can be suppressed from protruding from the back surface of the base plate 60.

Through holes equal to or slightly smaller than the outer diameter of the shaft portion of the game nail YK in both the main body portions 4241 to 45410 of the first winning members 42400 to 45400, the recessed portions 42060d to 43060d, the elastic member G2, or the base plate 60. When the pilot hole) is arranged, the contact resistance between the game nail YK and the through hole is reduced, and due to the impact when the game nail YK is driven, the main body portion 42410 or the like of the first winning member 42400 or the width in the thickness direction (the width in the thickness direction) It is possible to prevent damage to the recessed portion 42060d or the like having a small size). Further, it can be used as a mark of the driving position of the game nail YK, and the working time can be shortened.

The present invention may be implemented in a pachinko machine or the like of a type different from each of the above embodiments. For example, once a jackpot is hit, a pachinko machine (commonly known as a two-time right item, a three-time right item) that raises the expected value of the jackpot until multiple times (for example, two or three times) a big hit state occurs It may be carried out as). Further, after the jackpot symbol is displayed, it may be implemented as a pachinko machine that generates a special game that gives a player a predetermined game value on the condition that a ball is won in a predetermined area. Further, it may be carried out on a pachinko machine that has a winning device having a special area such as a V zone and is in a special gaming state on the condition that a ball is won in the special area. Further, in addition to the pachinko machine, it may be implemented as various game machines such as a pachinko machine, a sparrow ball, a slot machine, a so-called pachinko machine and a slot machine.

In the slot machine, for example, the symbol is changed by operating the operation lever in a state where a coin is inserted to determine the symbol effective line, and the symbol is stopped and confirmed by operating the stop button. It is a thing. Therefore, the basic concept of the slot machine is "provided with a display device that displays the identification information in a variable manner after displaying the identification information string composed of a plurality of identification information in a variable manner, and is caused by the operation of the starting operation means (for example, the operation lever). The variable display of the identification information is started, and the variable display of the identification information is stopped and confirmed and displayed due to the operation of the stop operation means (for example, the stop button) or after a predetermined time has elapsed, and the stop is stopped. It becomes a "slot machine that generates a special game that gives a player a predetermined game value on the condition that the combination of time identification information is specific". In this case, the game medium is represented by coins, medals, etc. Take as an example.

Further, as a specific example of a gaming machine in which a pachinko machine and a slot machine are fused, a display device for variably displaying a symbol sequence consisting of a plurality of symbols and then confirming the symbol is provided, and a handle for launching a ball is provided. Some are not. In this case, after a predetermined amount of balls are thrown in based on a predetermined operation (button operation), the symbol variation is started due to, for example, the operation of the operation lever, and for example, due to the operation of the stop button or a predetermined amount. As time elapses, the fluctuation of the symbol is stopped, and a special game is generated that gives the player a predetermined game value on the condition that the confirmed symbol at the time of the stop is a so-called jackpot symbol, and the player is given a predetermined game value. Is for paying out a large amount of balls to the lower saucer. If such a game machine is used instead of a slot machine, only the ball can be treated as a game value in the game hall, which is a game value seen in the current game hall where pachinko machines and slot machines are mixed. Problems such as the burden on equipment due to the separate handling of medals and balls and restrictions on the locations where game machines are installed can be solved.

The concepts of various inventions included in the above-described embodiments in addition to the gaming machine of the present invention are shown below.

<Concept of the invention using the lower displacement unit 400 as an example>
A displacement member formed so as to be displaceable from the reference position in the first direction and movable to move the game ball in accordance with the displacement in the first direction, and a game from outside the orbital region of the displacement member to the orbital region of the displacement member. In a game machine provided with a regulating means for restricting the throwing of a ball, the displacement member is formed so as to be displaceable from the reference position in a second direction opposite to the first direction. The game machine A1.

Here, a displacement member formed so as to be displaceable in the first direction from the reference position and a game ball movably formed in accordance with the displacement in the first direction, and an orbital region of the displacement member from outside the orbital region of the displacement member. A gaming machine provided with a regulating means for regulating the throwing of a gaming ball to the ball is known (for example, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2010-166997). According to this game machine, it is possible to prevent a predetermined number or more of game balls from being thrown into the orbital region of the displacement member by the regulation of the regulation means. However, in the above-mentioned conventional game machine, if a malfunction occurs in the regulating means due to, for example, sticking or wear, there is a possibility that a specified number or more of game balls are thrown toward the trajectory region of the displacement member. In this case, there is a problem that a problem may occur due to the number of game balls exceeding the specified number. That is, for example, a game ball exceeding a specified number may enter the drive mechanism of the displacement member and be bitten into the movable portion, resulting in damage. Alternatively, there is a risk that the number of game balls exceeding the specified number may flow out of the game area (for example, the back side of the game board).

On the other hand, according to the game machine A1, since the displacement member is formed so as to be displaceable from the reference position in the second direction opposite to the first direction, the trajectory region of the displacement member can be expanded accordingly. Therefore, for example, even if a malfunction occurs in the regulating means and a specified number or more of game balls are thrown, the orbital area of the displacement member is expanded, and the amount of game balls exceeding the specified number is used as the orbital area. Can be accepted. As a result, the number of game balls exceeding the specified number can be moved along with the displacement of the displacement member in the first direction. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the game balls exceeding the specified number from entering the drive mechanism portion of the displacement member and flowing out of the game area, and as a result, problems caused by the game balls exceeding the specified number can be prevented. It can be difficult to occur.

The game machine A1 includes a passage member formed as a passage through which the game ball can pass and whose downstream side communicates with the trajectory region of the displacement member, and the regulating means regulates the passage of the game ball in the passage member. Characteristic gaming machine A2.

According to the game machine A2, in addition to the effect of the game machine A1, a passage member formed as a passage through which the game ball can pass and whose downstream is communicated with the track region of the displacement member is provided, and the regulating means is the game in the passage member. Since the passage of balls is restricted, for example, even if a malfunction occurs in the regulating means and a specified number or more of game balls are thrown, the number of game balls exceeding the specified number is transferred to the displacement member via the passage member. The ball can be reliably thrown into the orbital region. As a result, it is possible to prevent problems caused by the number of game balls exceeding the specified number.

In the game machine A2, the displacement member is formed so as to receive and hold a predetermined number of game balls thrown from the passage member at the reference position, and at least the diameter of the game ball in the second direction from the reference position. The gaming machine A3 is characterized in that it is formed so as to be displaceable by a distance exceeding the above.

According to the game machine A3, in addition to the effect of the game machine A2, the displacement member is formed so as to receive and hold a specified number of game balls thrown from the passage member at the reference position, and is formed to be second from the reference position. Since it is formed so that it can be displaced in the direction by at least a distance exceeding the diameter of the game ball, the specified number can be increased by displacing the displacement member from the reference position in the second direction after receiving the specified number of game balls at the reference position. The excess game ball can be sent to the track region of the displacement member (the region on the first direction side of the displacement member). Therefore, the number of game balls exceeding the specified number can be moved along with the displacement of the displacement member in the first direction.

In this case, since the displacement member holds the specified number of game balls and the number of game balls exceeding the specified number can be sent to the orbital region, the specified number of game balls and the number of game balls exceeding the specified number are separated. can do. Therefore, for example, by displacing the displacement member in the first direction, the operation of discharging only the game balls exceeding the specified number from the orbital region while maintaining the state in which the displacement member holds the specified number of game balls is performed. It will be possible.

A4 of the game machine A3, wherein the displacement member is displaced in the first direction and is formed so as to be able to change its posture when it reaches a predetermined position.

<Concept of the invention using the distribution unit 500 as an example>
The flow-down passage through which the game ball flows down, the first branch passage and the second branch passage branched from the flow-down passage, and the game ball flowing down the flow-down passage to either the first branch passage or the second branch passage. In a game machine provided with a distribution means for distribution, a game machine provided with a displacement member which is formed so as to be displaceable and receives a game ball from the first branch passage, and the displacement member is displaced in contact with the distribution means. The game machine B1 is characterized in that the distribution means is displaced and the distribution destination is switched.

Here, the flow-down passage through which the game ball flows down, the first branch passage and the second branch passage branched from the flow-down passage, and the game ball flowing down the flow-down passage to one of the first branch passage and the second branch passage. A game machine provided with a sorting means for sorting is known (for example, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2014-223176). However, in the conventional game machine described above, since the game balls that have flowed down the flow-down passage are alternately distributed to the first branch passage and the second branch passage one by one, the game balls that flow down the flow-down passage are different. It is evenly distributed (that is, half each) to the first branch passage and the second branch passage. That is, there is a problem that the number of game balls distributed to the first branch passage cannot be changed.

On the other hand, according to the game machine B1, a displacement member that is formed to be displaceable and receives a game ball from the first branch passage is provided, and the displacement member is displaced in contact with the distribution means, so that the distribution member is distributed. Since the means is displaced and the distribution destination is switched, the number of game balls distributed to the first branch passage or the second branch passage can be changed according to the displacement of the displacement member. That is, the number of game balls distributed to the first branch passage can be changed.

According to the game machine B1, the distribution means can be displaced by using the displacement of the displacement member, so that it is not necessary to separately provide a drive means or a transmission mechanism for displace the distribution means. it can. Therefore, the number of parts can be reduced by that amount, and the product cost can be reduced.

Further, for example, in a structure in which the displacement of the sorting means is controlled by using the position detection by the sensor device or the drive by the driving means, the reliability of the sorting operation of the sorting means is lowered due to the malfunction due to the detection failure or the control failure. However, according to the game machine B1, the distribution destination by the distribution means can be switched mechanically in synchronization with the displacement of the displacement member, so that the reliability of the distribution operation can be improved.

In particular, since the displacement member is a member that receives the game ball from the first branch passage, the distribution destination of the distribution means can be switched to the first branch passage in synchronization with the displacement of the displacement member, so that the first branch can be obtained. The game balls distributed in the passage can be reliably received by the displacement member.

The game machine B1 is provided with an urging means for imparting an urging force to the distribution means to maintain the distribution destination by the distribution means in either the first branch passage or the second branch passage, and the displacement member. Displaces the sorting means in a direction opposite to the direction of the urging force, so that the sorting destination by the sorting means is switched to the first branch passage or the other of the second branch passage, and the urging means is used. The gaming machine B2, characterized in that the distribution destination by the distribution means is returned to either the first branch passage or the second branch passage by the urging force of the means.

According to the game machine B2, in addition to the effect of the game machine B1, an urging force is applied to the distribution means to maintain the distribution destination by the distribution means in either the first branch passage or the second branch passage. Since the force means is provided, it is possible to prevent the sorting destination from being inadvertently switched by the sorting means. In this case, the distribution means is displaced according to the displacement of the displacement member, and after the distribution destination is switched, the return to the distribution destination before the switching can be performed by the urging force of the urging means. It can be unnecessary that the member is in contact with the distribution means. That is, the displacement member can be separated from the distribution means. Therefore, the degree of freedom in designing the movable range of the displacement member can be increased.

In the game machine B2, the urging means applies an urging force to the sorting means to maintain the sorting destination by the sorting means in the second branch passage.

According to the game machine B3, in addition to the effect of the game machine B2, the urging means applies an urging force to the sorting means to maintain the sorting destination by the sorting means in the second branch passage, so that the displacement member. In a state where the game ball cannot be received, it is possible to prevent the distribution destination by the distribution means from being switched to the first branch passage.

In the game machine B3, a base member is provided that is displaceably formed between the first position and the second position and the displacement member is arranged, and the base member is arranged at the first position. In a state where the displacement member can receive the game ball from the first branch passage and can come into contact with the distribution means, and the base member is arranged at the second position, the displacement The game machine B4, wherein the member cannot receive the game ball from the first branch passage and cannot contact the distribution means.

According to the game machine B4, in addition to the effect of the game machine B3, a base member formed so as to be displaceable between the first position and the second position is provided, and the displacement member is arranged on the base member. It is possible to form a mode in which the displacement member is displaced with the base member arranged at the first position and a mode in which the displacement member is displaced with the base member arranged at the second position. Therefore, the effect of the effect can be enhanced accordingly.

In this case, when the base member is arranged at the second position, the displacement member cannot receive the game ball from the first branch passage, but in such a state, the displacement member cannot contact the distribution means. Therefore, in a state where the displacement member cannot receive the game ball (a state in which the base member is arranged at the second position), it is possible to prevent the distribution destination by the distribution means from being switched to the first branch passage.

The game machine B4 is characterized in that the game machine B4 includes a second base member formed as a member separate from the base member, and the distribution means is arranged on the second base member.

According to the game machine B5, in addition to the effect of the game machine B4, a second base member formed as a member separate from the base member is provided, and the distribution means is arranged on the second base member. Therefore, it is possible to suppress the increase in size of the base member.

In any of the game machines B1 to B5, the displacement member is formed so as to be at least displaceable at a switching position and a receiving position set at a position different from the switching position, and the displacement member is displaced to the switching position. In this state, the distribution destination by the distribution means is switched to the first branch passage, and in the state where the displacement member is displaced to the receiving position, the displacement member can receive the game ball from the first branch passage. The gaming machine B6 is characterized in that the distribution destination by the distribution means is switched to the second branch passage.

According to the game machine B6, in addition to the effect of any of the game machines B1 to B5, the displacement member is formed so as to be at least displaceable between the switching position and the receiving position set at a position different from the switching position. When the displacement member is displaced to the switching position, the distribution destination by the distribution means is switched to the first branch passage, and when the displacement member is displaced to the receiving position, the displacement member moves the game ball from the first branch passage. Since it is possible to receive and the distribution destination by the distribution means is switched to the second branch passage, it is possible to prevent the game balls exceeding the specified number that can be received by the displacement member from being distributed to the first branch passage.

That is, when the switching position and the receiving position are set to the same position, the displacement member receives the game ball while the distribution destination by the distribution means is switched to the first branch passage, so that the displacement member. There is a risk that the game balls will be distributed to the first branch passage in excess of the specified number that can be received. If a means for regulating the inflow of the game ball into the first branch passage is separately provided, the structure becomes complicated, the reliability is lowered, and the product cost is increased.

On the other hand, according to the game machine B6, the displacement member is displaced to the switching position, and after the specified number (or less than the specified number) of game balls are distributed to the first branch passage, the displacement member is displaced to the receiving position. Then, since the distribution destination is switched to the second branch passage, it is possible to prevent the game balls exceeding the specified number from flowing down to the first branch passage. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the game balls exceeding the specified number that can be received by the displacement member from being distributed to the first branch passage. Further, since it is not necessary to separately provide the above-mentioned means, it is possible to improve the reliability and reduce the product cost.

In the game machine B6, the first branch passage is formed as one or a plurality of protrusions or recesses protruding or recessed in the inner wall surface thereof, and a resistance is given to a game ball passing through the first branch passage. A game machine B7 characterized by being provided with means.

According to the game machine B7, in addition to the effect of the game machine B6, the first branch passage is formed as one or more protrusions or recesses protruding or recessed in the inner wall surface thereof, and passes through the first branch passage. Since the resistance means for imparting resistance to the game ball is provided, the speed of the game ball passing through the first branch passage can be slowed down. Therefore, the time required for the displacement member to be displaced from the switching position to the receiving position can be lengthened by that amount, so that the displacement member can reliably receive the game ball. Further, the output of the drive means can be reduced by the amount that the displacement speed required for the displacement member can be slowed down, and the product cost can be reduced.

In the game machine B6 or B7, the distribution means includes a first infestation portion and a second infestation portion that are formed so as to appear and disappear with respect to the first branch passage according to the displacement of the distribution means. The 1 infestation portion is formed so that the game ball flowing down the downflow passage can be distributed to the 2nd branch passage by projecting into the 1st branch passage, and the 2nd infestation portion is formed from the 1st infestation portion. Is also located on the downstream side of the first branch passage, and by projecting to the first branch passage, the flow of the game balls distributed to the first branch passage can be regulated, and the first infestation portions thereof. The gaming machine B8 is characterized in that when one of the second haunting portion protrudes into the passage of the first branch passage, the other is retracted out of the passage of the first branch passage.

According to the game machine B8, in addition to the effect of the game machine B6 or B7, the distribution means is formed to appear and disappear with respect to the first branch passage according to the displacement of the distribution means. A second infestation portion is provided, and the first infestation portion is formed so that a game ball flowing down the flow-down passage can be distributed to the second branch passage by projecting into the first branch passage, and the second infestation portion is formed by the first infestation portion. It is located on the downstream side of the first branch passage from the infestation part, and by projecting to the first branch passage, the flow of the game balls distributed to the first branch passage can be regulated, and the first infestation part is formed. And, in the state where one of the second infested portions protrudes into the passage of the first branch passage, the other is retracted to the outside of the passage of the first branch passage, so that the distribution means is displaced according to the displacement of the displacement member. Therefore, only the specified number of game balls can be distributed to the first branch passage and received by the displacement member.

That is, the first state in which the first infested portion protrudes to distribute the game ball flowing down the flow-down passage to the second branch passage, and the first infested portion retracts to move the game ball flowing down the down-flow passage. A second state in which the game balls are distributed to the first branch passage, a third state in which the flow of the game balls distributed to the first branch passage is regulated (the game balls are stored) by projecting the second infestation portion, and a third state. 2 By retracting the haunting portion, it is possible to form a fourth state in which the game ball stored in the first branch passage is allowed to flow down and be received by the displacement member. Only a number of game balls can be distributed to the first branch passage and received by the displacement member.

Further, according to the game machine B8, the distribution means includes a first haunting portion and a second haunting portion. That is, since it is formed as one component, the structure of the sorting means (the structure for operating the first infestation portion and the second infestation portion to exert their functions) can be simplified. Further, in the state where one of the first infested portion and the second infested portion protrudes into the passage of the first branch passage, the other is retracted to the outside of the passage of the first branch passage, so that two positions (switching positions) of the displacement members are obtained. And the receiving position), it is sufficient if the sorting means is also formed so as to be displaceable at two positions. That is, by displacing the sorting means at two positions, the above-mentioned first to fourth states can be formed. Therefore, the structure of the distribution means and the structure of displace the distribution means according to the displacement of the displacement member can be simplified, and the reliability of the distribution operation of the game ball can be improved accordingly.

According to the game machine C6, in addition to the effect of the game machine C4 or C5, the integrated member is provided with an urging means for urging the flow state changing means in the direction of projecting to the first branch passage. Therefore, by utilizing such urging force, it is possible to easily maintain the integrated member in a posture in which the flow-down state changing means projects into the first branch passage (that is, the first state position).

In this case, in the game machine C6, the distance from the flow-down state changing means to the rotation axis of the integrated member is made larger than the distance from the distribution means to the rotation axis of the integral member, so that the flowing game balls collide with each other. And, because the distance from the rotation axis is large, even if the same impact force is applied, the flow-down state changing means is likely to be absorbed, but the urging direction of the urging means is such that the flow-down state changing means protrudes into the first branch passage. By setting the direction to be the same, it is possible to suppress the immersion of the flow state changing means by the amount of the urging force.

In the game machine C6, the integrated member is rotated in a direction in which the flow state changing means projects into the first branch passage due to its own weight.

According to the game machine C7, in addition to the effect of the game machine C6, the integrated member is rotated in the direction in which the flow-down state changing means protrudes into the first branch passage due to its own weight. The member can be easily maintained in a posture in which the flow-down state changing means projects into the first branch passage (that is, the first state position). Therefore, when the game ball collides, it is possible to further suppress the immersion of the flow state changing means by the amount of its own weight.

Further, even if the urging means falls off, the integrated part is maintained in a posture in which the flow-down state changing means protrudes into the first branch passage due to its own weight, and the game ball flows down into the first branch passage. Can be suppressed.

In any of the game machines C2 to C7, the distribution destination by the distribution means is set to the first branch passage, and the flow of the game ball in the first branch passage is regulated by the flow state changing means, and the first The game machine C8 is characterized in that, in a state where a predetermined number of game balls are stored in the branch passage, the game balls flowing down the flow-down passage are formed so as to flow down to the second branch passage.

According to the game machine C8, in addition to the effect of any of the game machines C2 to C7, the distribution destination by the distribution means is set to the first branch passage, and the flow of the game ball in the first branch passage is the flow state changing means. In a state where a specified number of game balls are stored in the first branch passage, the game balls flowing down the flow-down passage are formed so as to be able to flow down to the second branch passage, so that more than the specified number of game balls flow down. When flowing down the aisle, it is possible to prevent the number of game balls exceeding the specified number from staying in the flowing down aisle. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the displacement of the distribution means (the operation of setting the distribution destination as the second branch passage) from being hindered by the game ball stuck in the flow passage.

In the game machine C8, the inner wall of the flow-down passage on the side facing the second branch passage has the game balls flowing down the flow passage at the end of the specified number of game balls stored in the first branch passage. The game machine C9 is formed so as to be able to be guided to the side surface of the game ball on the side of the second branch passage.

According to the game machine C9, in addition to the effect of the game machine C8, the inner wall on the side facing the second branch passage in the flow passage has a specified number of game balls flowing down the flow passage stored in the first branch passage. Since it is formed so that it can be guided to the side surface of the game ball at the end of the game balls on the side of the second branch passage, the game balls flowing down the flow passage are made to collide with the game balls at the end of the specified number of game balls. After that, it can be easily flowed down to the second branch passage.

The last game ball out of the specified number of game balls means a game ball located on the upstream side (opposite side to the flow state changing means). When the specified number is 1, the game ball at the end means the game ball itself stored in the first branch passage.

In the game machine C8 or C9, the game machine C10 is characterized in that the flow direction at the downstream end of the flow path is formed in a direction different from the flow direction at the upstream end of the first branch passage.

According to the game machine C10, in addition to the effect of the game machine C8 or C9, the flow direction at the downstream end of the flow passage is formed in a direction different from the flow direction at the upstream end of the first branch passage. When the flowing game ball collides with the last game ball of the specified number of game balls stored in the first branch passage, the direction of the repulsive force applied to the last game ball is set in the first branch passage. It can be made different from the flow direction at the upstream end. As a result, it is possible to prevent the trailing game ball from jumping out from the upstream end of the first branch passage and flowing into the second branch passage due to the repulsive force at the time of collision.

In any of the game machines C2 to C10, the distribution means is formed so as to be able to appear and disappear with respect to the flow-down passage or the first branch passage, and the appearance position is the flow-down direction at the downstream end of the flow-down passage. A game machine C11 characterized in that it is an inner wall on an extension line of the above.

According to the game machine C11, in addition to the effect of any of the game machines C2 to C10, the distribution means is formed so as to be able to appear and disappear with respect to the flow-down passage or the first branch passage, and the appearance position thereof is the flow-down position. Since it is an inner wall on an extension line in the flow direction at the downstream end of the passage, the distribution means can be projected at a position close to the game ball flowing down from the downstream end of the flow passage. Therefore, it is possible to shorten the time required from the start of projecting the sorting means to the flow-down passage or the first branch passage until the game balls can be sorted. As a result, it is possible to more reliably switch the distribution destination by the distribution means.

In the game machine C11, the distribution means distributes a game ball flowing down the flow-down passage to the second branch passage by projecting into the flow-down passage or the first branch passage, and distributes the game ball. The gaming machine C12 characterized in that the projecting direction of the means is set in the direction direction at the upstream end of the second branch passage.

According to the game machine C12, in addition to the effect of the game machine C11, the distribution means distributes the game ball flowing down the flow-down passage to the second branch passage by projecting into the flow-down passage or the first branch passage. Therefore, since the projecting direction of the distribution means is set to face the upstream end of the second branch passage, when the game ball flowing down the flow-down passage comes into contact with the distribution means in the middle of the projecting operation. Can push the game ball into the second branch passage with the protruding operation of the distribution means. As a result, distribution to the second branch passage can be performed more reliably.

In any of the game machines C1 to C12, the first branch passage is formed so as to be inclined downward toward the downstream, and the game ball is formed so as to be able to roll on the inner wall on the lower side in the direction of gravity, and the flow state is described. The gaming machine C13 is characterized in that the changing means is formed so as to be able to appear and disappear from the inner wall on the lower side in the direction of gravity into the first branch passage.

According to the game machine C13, in addition to the effect of any of the game machines C1 to C12, the first branch passage is formed so as to be inclined downward toward the downstream, and the game ball is formed on the inner wall on the lower side in the direction of gravity. Since the flow state changing means is formed so as to be rollable and can appear and disappear from the inner wall on the lower side in the direction of gravity into the first branch passage, the game is performed after the flow state changing means is started to protrude into the first branch passage. It is possible to shorten the time required for the flow of the ball to be regulated. As a result, when the distribution destination of the distribution means is switched from the second branch passage to the first branch passage and the game balls are distributed to the first branch passage, the flow state changing means of the flow state changing means is regulated by the flow of the game balls. You can easily make the protrusion in time.

In any of the game machines C1 to C13, the flow-down state changing means is formed so as to be able to appear and disappear with respect to the first branch passage, and at least in a state of maximally projecting to the first branch passage, in a protruding direction. A game machine C14 characterized in that a force component is acted on from a game ball to the flow state changing means.

According to the game machine C14, in any of the game machines C1 to C13, the flow-down state changing means is formed so as to be able to appear and disappear with respect to the first branch passage, and protrudes at least in a state of maximally projecting to the first branch passage. Since the force component in the direction of movement is acted on from the game ball to the flow-down state changing means, when the flow-down of the game ball distributed to the first branch passage is regulated, the game ball flows down due to the impact when the game ball collides. It is possible to suppress the immersion of the state changing means. Therefore, it is possible to easily regulate the flow of the game ball.

<Concept of the invention using the lower displacement unit 400 as an example>
In a gaming machine including a base member, a base member displaceable on one side of the base member, and a displacement member displaceable on the base member, a group associated with the displacement of the displacement member. The gaming machine D1 provided with a suppressing means for suppressing the reaction of the member.

Here, a gaming machine including a base member, a base member displaceable on one side of the base member, and a displaceable member displaceable on the base member is known (for example). , Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2015-029849). According to this game machine, in addition to the effect of displacing the base member between the overhanging position where the base member is projected to the game area and visible to the player and the evacuation position where the base member is retracted from the game area, the base member is displaced. It is possible to perform an effect of displacement of the displacement member in the state of being arranged at the overhanging position.

However, in the conventional gaming machine described above, since one side of the base member is displaceably arranged on the base member, when the displacement member is displaced, the base member rattles with respect to the base member with one side as a fulcrum. There was a problem that it was easy to occur.

On the other hand, according to the game machine D1, since the suppression means for suppressing the reaction of the base member due to the displacement of the displacement member is provided, the occurrence of rattling of the base member with respect to the base member when the displacement member is displaced is suppressed. can do.

The reaction force associated with the displacement of the displacement member is, for example, one generated by a change in the center of gravity due to the displacement of the displacement member, or an inertial force generated by an increase or decrease in the displacement speed of the displacement member (change in acceleration). Examples thereof include those generated by the reaction force when the displacement member is displaced and the game ball is ejected.

In the game machine D1, the suppressing means includes an arrangement member displaceably arranged on the base member, the displacement member is formed so as to be able to hold and eject the game ball, and the arrangement member is formed. A game machine D2 characterized in that it is formed so as to be displaceable when a game ball is ejected from the displacement member.

According to the game machine D2, in addition to the effect of the game machine D1, the suppressing means includes a displacement member displaceable on the base member, and the displacement member is formed so that the game ball can be held and ejected. Since the displaced member is formed so as to be displaceable when the game ball is ejected from the displaced member, it is possible to suppress the occurrence of rattling of the base member with respect to the base member. That is, when the game ball is launched from the displacement member, the position of the center of gravity of the base member is changed by the weight of the game ball, for example, the change in the position of the center of gravity due to the launch of the game ball is offset. When a configuration in which the installation member is displaced is adopted, it is possible to suppress the occurrence of rattling of the base member due to a change in the position of the center of gravity. Further, when the game ball is launched from the displacement member, the base member receives a reaction due to the launch of the game ball. For example, the arrangement member is displaced in a direction that cancels the reaction caused by the launch of the game ball. When adopted, it is possible to suppress the occurrence of rattling of the base member due to the reaction.

The game machine D1 or D2 includes a reverse member that is displaced with at least a displacement component that is in the direction opposite to the displacement direction of the displacement member when the displacement member is displaced.

According to the game machine D3, in addition to the effect of the game machine D1 or D2, when the displacement member is displaced, the reverse member is displaced with at least a displacement component that is in the direction opposite to the displacement direction of the displacement member. Therefore, the change in the position of the center of gravity of the base member due to the displacement of the displacement member can be reduced by the displacement of the reverse member. As a result, rattling of the base member due to a change in the position of the center of gravity can be suppressed.

If the configuration is such that the displacement of the reverse member is started when the displacement of the displacement member is started, at least a part of the inertial forces of both can be canceled out. As a result, it is possible to easily suppress rattling of the base member when the displacement member is displaced from the stopped state.

The game machine D2 or D3 is characterized by comprising a transmission mechanism that transmits the displacement of the displacement member to the disposition member or (and) the reverse member to displace the displacement member or (and) the reverse member. Displacement machine D4.

According to the game machine D4, in addition to the effect of the game machine D2 or D3, a transmission mechanism that transmits the displacement of the displacement member to the displacement member or (and) reverse member to displace the displacement member or (and) reverse member. Therefore, it is not necessary to separately provide a driving means for displacing the disposing member or / or the reverse member. That is, the driving means for displacing the displacement member can also be used as the driving means for displacing the disposing member or / or the reverse member. Therefore, the weight of the base member can be reduced by that amount, and the rattling can be easily suppressed.

Further, since the arrangement or / or the reverse member can be displaced mechanically in synchronization with the displacement of the displacement member, for example, the position of the displacement member is detected by a sensor device and arranged according to the detection result. Control to drive the member or (and) reverse member by the driving means can be eliminated, the product cost can be reduced accordingly, and the reliability of the displacement operation of the displacement member or (and) reverse member with respect to the displacement member can be achieved. Can be secured.

In any of the game machines D1 to D4, the displacement member starts the displacement from the second position, and the displacement member starts the displacement from the first position closer to one side of the base member than the second position. The gaming machine D5 is characterized in that the displacement is started from the first position at least in a state where the base member is arranged at a predetermined position with respect to the base member.

Here, when the displacement member is displaced from the stopped state, the change in acceleration is maximized, so that the base member tends to rattle due to the influence of the inertial force.

On the other hand, according to the game machine D5, in addition to the effect of any of the game machines D1 to D4, the displacement member starts the displacement from the second position and one side of the base member from the second position. A mode in which displacement is started from a first position close to is formed so as to be able to form, and at least a state in which the base member is arranged at a predetermined position with respect to the base member (for example, the base member projects into the game area and is displayed by the player. At the visible overhang position), the displacement is started from the first position, so that the rattling of the base member can be suppressed. That is, since the first position is a position closer to one side of the base member than the second position, by setting the first position as the displacement start position of the displacement member, the weight of the displacement member can be set as the base. The member can be kept close to the fulcrum when the member rattles with respect to the base member, and the influence of the inertial force when the displacement member is displaced from the stopped state can be made less likely to act on the base member. As a result, rattling of the base member can be easily suppressed.

The game machine D5 includes a pinion gear disposed on the base member and a rack member having a rack gear meshed with the pinion gear, and the displacement member is disposed on the rack member. Machine D6.

When starting the displacement of the displacement member from the first position, not only the weight of the rack member but also the weight of the rack member is one side of the base member (the base member is relative to the base member). It can be kept close to the fulcrum when rattling. As a result, it is possible to easily suppress rattling of the base member when the displacement member is displaced from the stopped state.

In the game machine D6, the displacement direction when the displacement member starts displacement from the first position is a direction away from one side of the base member.

According to the game machine D7, in addition to the effect of the game machine D6, the displacement direction when the displacement member starts displacement from the first position is a direction away from one side of the base member, so that the displacement member is in the first position. In the state of being arranged in, the rack member can be brought closer to one side of the base member. That is, in order for the displacement member (rack member) to be displaced in the direction away from one side of the base member, the rack member is based on the portion on the rack gear side where the pinion gear is meshed after the displacement of the displacement member is started. It will be directed to one side of the member. Therefore, the weight of the rack member can be made closer to one side of the base member (the fulcrum when the base member rattles with respect to the base member), and as a result, when the displacement member is displaced from the stopped state. It is possible to easily suppress the rattling of the base member.

In any of the game machines D1 to D7, the base member is provided with a support structure for displaceably supporting one side of the base member and a drive mechanism for driving the base member supported by the support structure. The displacement member is formed so that the game ball can be held and ejected, and the drive mechanism is a regulatory means for regulating the displacement of the base member in the direction of reaction when the game ball is ejected from the displacement member. A game machine D8 characterized by being provided with.

According to the game machine D8, in addition to the effect of any of the game machines D1 to D7, a support structure that displaceably supports one side of the base member to the base member and a base member supported by the support structure are driven. The displacement member is formed so as to be able to hold and eject the game ball, and the drive mechanism is such that the base member is displaced in the direction of reaction when the game ball is ejected from the displacement member. Since the regulating means for regulating is provided, it is possible to prevent the base member from being displaced with respect to the base member due to the reaction.

Characteristic gaming machine E1.

Here, there is known a gaming machine including a rotating cylinder member which is rotatably formed and whose outer peripheral surface is visibly arranged by a player (for example, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2009-119140). In this game machine, the rotating cylinder member is formed in a cylindrical shape, and the display (design) on the outer peripheral surface thereof is made visible to the player by rotating the rotating cylinder member or stopping the rotating cylinder member. However, in the conventional game machine described above, since it is only possible to form an effect mode in which the display of the outer peripheral surface is visually recognized by the player as the rotating body member is rotated or stopped, the effect of the effect is small. There was a problem that was insufficient.

On the other hand, according to the game machine E1, since the displacement member displaceablely arranged on the outer peripheral surface of the rotating cylinder member is provided, the display of the outer peripheral surface is displayed to the player as the rotating cylinder member rotates or stops. Since it is possible to form an effect mode in which the displacement member is displaced in addition to the effect mode to be visually recognized, it is possible to give a change to the effect mode and enhance the effect.

The rotating cylinder member does not have to have a circular cross-sectional shape cut in a plane perpendicular to its rotation axis, and may have a polygonal shape, an elliptical shape, or a combination thereof. Therefore, the outer peripheral surface of the rotating cylinder member does not have to be a peripheral surface, but may be a flat surface, a curved surface, or a combination thereof.

In the game machine E1, the displacement member is formed so as to be displaceable between at least the first position and the second position, and at the first position, a part of the outer peripheral surface of the rotating cylinder member is formed by the displacement member.

According to the game machine E2, in addition to the effect of the game machine E1, when the displacement member is displaced to the first position, a part of the outer peripheral surface of the rotating body member is formed by the displacement member. The outer shape can be reduced, and the space required for the rotating body member to rotate can be reduced accordingly. On the other hand, when the displacement member is displaced to the second position, at least a part of the displacement member is projected outward in the radial direction of the rotating cylinder member, so that the displacement of the displacement member can be easily visually recognized by the player, and the effect is produced. Can be enhanced. Further, for example, the rotating body member is rotated with the displacement member arranged at the first position, and the displacement member is arranged (displaced) at the second position when the rotation of the rotating body member is stopped. A portion (displacement member) that has been visually recognized as the outer peripheral surface of the rotating cylinder member can be formed so as to project outward in the radial direction of the rotating cylinder member, which can enhance the interest.

Here, in order to form the rotating body member so as to be rotatable and to displace the displacement member on the rotating body member, a driving means is required for each of the rotating body member and the displacement member, which increases the product cost. Bulky. Further, when the driving means for displace the displacement member is mounted on the rotating cylinder member, the weight of the rotating cylinder member increases, so that it becomes difficult to smoothly start or stop the rotation of the rotating cylinder member.

On the other hand, according to the game machine E4, in addition to the effect of any of the game machines E1 to E3, the driving means for generating the driving force and the driving force of the driving means are applied to the rotating body member and the displacement member. Since the transmission means for transmitting is provided, it is possible to rotate the rotating cylinder member and displace the displacement member by also using the driving means of 1. Therefore, the product cost can be reduced.

Since it is provided with a one-way clutch mechanism that cuts off transmission to the other, it is possible to switch the drive target (rotating body member or displacement member) to be driven by the rotational driving force only by switching the rotational direction of the driving means. That is, it is possible to switch between the rotation of the rotating cylinder member and the stop of the rotation and the displacement of the displacement member and the stop of the displacement according to the rotation direction of the drive means, and the structure can be formed while making it possible to form a plurality of modes. Can be simplified.

A game machine E6 characterized by being provided with a load gear to be meshed with each other.

Here, in a structure in which the drive target (rotating body member or displacement member) is switched according to the rotation direction of the drive means by using the one-way clutch mechanism, when the transmission of the drive force from the drive means is cut off, It becomes a state in which it can freely rotate or displace in the direction driven by the driving force. Therefore, for example, when the driving target of the driving means is switched from the rotating body member to the displacement member and the transmission of the driving force is cut off, the rotating body member becomes a rotatable state and continues to rotate due to the inertial force (rotation). There is a risk of being

On the other hand, according to the gaming machine E6, in addition to the effect of the gaming machine E5, the rotating side transmitting means is a gear train forming a part or all of the transmission path for transmitting the rotational driving force of the driving means to the rotating body member.

After receiving the flowed game ball on the upper surface of the displacement member, the received game ball can be guided (rolled) to the internal space of the rotating cylinder member along the downward inclination of the upper surface of the displacement member. Therefore, it is possible to facilitate the flow of the game ball flowing down the game area into the internal space of the rotating body member by using the displacement member.

<Concept of the invention using the rotating unit 700 as an example>
In a gaming machine provided with a rotating body member that is rotatably formed and whose outer peripheral surface is visibly arranged by a player, the rotating body member externally forms an internal space formed inside the rotating body member and the internal space thereof. The game machine F1 is characterized by having a communication port formed so that the game ball can pass through the game machine.

Here, there is known a gaming machine including a rotating cylinder member which is rotatably formed and whose outer peripheral surface is visibly arranged by a player (for example, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2009-119140). According to this game machine, the rotating cylinder member is formed in a cylindrical shape, and the display (design) on the outer peripheral surface thereof is visually recognized by the player while rotating the rotating cylinder member or stopping the rotating cylinder member. be able to. However, the above-mentioned conventional game machine has a problem that the use of the rotating body member is insufficient because it is only used as a member for holding a display for the player to visually recognize on the outer peripheral surface thereof. It was. That is, since the rotating body member needs to hold a display that can be visually recognized by the player, it is formed to be relatively large. Therefore, while the space occupied by the rotating cylinder member is large, the portion other than the outer peripheral surface thereof is not utilized.

On the other hand, according to the game machine F1, the rotating body member includes an internal space formed inside the body member and a communication port formed so that the game ball can pass through the internal space while communicating the internal space to the outside. , The game ball flowing down the game area can flow into or out of the internal space through the communication port. Therefore, the internal space of the rotating body member, which is regarded as a dead space, can function as a storage space or a throwing passage for the game ball, and the rotating body member can be utilized accordingly.

The communication port may be formed at only one place of the rotating cylinder member, or may be formed at two or more places. When the communication port is formed at only one place, the communication port is formed on the outer peripheral surface of the rotating cylinder member. As a result, the position of the communication port can be moved up and down according to the rotation position of the rotating cylinder member, so that the game ball flows into or out of the internal space through the communication port (the communication port faces upward). At the same time, the game ball can flow into the internal space, and when the communication port faces downward, the game ball in the internal space can flow out).

Further, the rotating cylinder member does not have to have a circular cross-sectional shape cut in a plane perpendicular to its rotation axis, and may have a polygonal shape, an elliptical shape, or a combination thereof. Therefore, the outer peripheral surface of the rotating cylinder member does not have to be a peripheral surface, but may be a flat surface, a curved surface, or a combination thereof.

In the game machine F1, the communication port includes a first communication port and a second communication port formed at a position different from the first communication port.

According to the game machine F2, in addition to the effect of the game machine F1, the communication port includes a first communication port and a second communication port formed at a position different from the first communication port. One of the communication port or the second communication port is an inflow port for the game ball to flow in from the outside to the internal space, and the other of the first communication port or the second communication port is an outflow port for the game ball to flow out from the internal space to the outside. Can be. That is, the rotating body member can be used as a throwing passage for the game ball without rotating the rotating body member (while maintaining the stopped state). In addition, in a state where the rotating body member is rotating, such a rotating body member may be utilized as a ball throwing passage.

In the game machine F2, the first communication port is formed on the outer peripheral surface of the rotating body member, and is formed as an inflow port for flowing a game ball flowing down the game area into the internal space, and the second communication port is formed. The gaming machine F3 is formed on an end surface of the rotating cylinder member in the direction of the rotation axis, and is formed as an outlet for flowing out a gaming ball from the internal space to the gaming area.

According to the game machine F3, in addition to the effect of the game machine F2, the first communication port is formed on the outer peripheral surface of the rotating cylinder member and is formed as an inflow port for the game ball flowing down the game area to flow into the internal space. The second communication port is formed on the end face of the rotating cylinder member in the direction of the rotation axis, and is formed as an outlet for flowing out the game ball from the internal space to the game area. The inflow can be easily made visible to the player, and the game ball can be discharged while the rotating body member is maintained in the stopped state.

That is, where the outer peripheral surface of the rotating cylinder member is arranged so as to be visible to the player, the first communication port (inflow port) is formed on the outer peripheral surface thereof, so that the inflow of the game ball can be visually recognized by the player. It can be made easy. On the other hand, when the second communication port is formed on the outer peripheral surface of the rotating body member, the game ball cannot flow out from the internal space when the rotating body member is displaced to the rotation position where the communication port is upward. Since the second communication port (outlet) is formed on the end surface of the rotating cylinder member in the rotation axis direction, it is possible to form a state in which the game ball can flow out from the internal space regardless of the rotation position of the rotating cylinder member.

In any of the game machines F1 to F3, a displacement member displaceable on the outer peripheral surface of the rotating cylinder member is provided, and when the displacement member is displaced to the first position, the communication port is displaced. The gaming machine F4 is shielded by a member, and when the displacement member is displaced to a second position, the communication port is opened.

According to the game machine F4, in addition to the effect of any of the game machines F1 to F3, a displacement member displaceable on the outer peripheral surface of the rotating cylinder member is provided, and the displacement member is displaced to the first position. Then, the communication port is shielded by the displacement member, and when the displacement member is displaced to the second position, the communication port is opened, so that the inflow and outflow of the game ball through the communication port is blocked and allowed. You can switch.

In the game machine F4, the communication port is formed on the outer peripheral surface of the rotating cylinder member, one side of the displacement member is rotatably supported by the rotating cylinder member, and the displacement member is located at the second position. The gaming machine F5 is characterized in that when it is displaced, the other side, which is opposite to the one side, projects into the game area.

According to the game machine F5, in addition to the effect of the game machine E4, one side of the displacement member is rotatably supported by the rotating body member, and when the displacement member is displaced to the second position, the side opposite to the one side. Since the other side is projected to the game area, the game ball flowing down the game area can be received by the upper surface of the displacement member. Therefore, for example, when the communication port is formed as an inflow port, the game ball flowing down the game area can be easily flowed into the internal space of the rotating cylinder member by using the displacement member.

In the game machine F5, the displacement member is characterized in that one side thereof is located on the front side in the rotation direction of the rotating body member with respect to the other side.

According to the game machine F6, in addition to the effect of the game machine F5, one side of the displacement member is located on the front side in the rotation direction of the rotating body member with respect to the other side, so that when the rotating body member is rotated, the displacement member is located. Even if the displacement member interferes with the member arranged around the rotating body member, the force generated by the interference can be applied in the direction of closing (displace to the first position) the displacement member. That is, it is possible to prevent the displacement member from interfering with other members and projecting (displaced to the second position) when the rotating body member rotates. In addition, it is possible to prevent the displacement member from engaging with another member and hindering the rotation of the rotating cylinder member.

In any of the game machines F1 to F6, the base member in which the rotating body member is rotatably arranged, and the rotating body member supported by the base member and arranged in the internal space of the rotating body member. On the other hand, the gaming machine F7 is provided with a fixing member that is non-rotating.

According to the game machine F7, in addition to the effect of any of the game machines F1 to F6, the base member in which the rotating body member is rotatably arranged, and the internal space of the rotating body member while being supported by the base member. Since it is provided with a fixing member that is arranged in the center and is non-rotating with respect to the rotating body member, the game ball that has flowed into the internal space is held by the fixing member or rolled on the fixing member toward the outlet. It is possible to prevent the game ball from rampaging in the internal space or being hindered from rolling and staying in the internal space as the rotating body member rotates.

The game machine F8 is characterized in that any one of the game machines F4 to F6 is provided with a displacement setting means for regulating or allowing the displacement of the displacement member according to the rotation position of the rotating body member.

According to the game machine F8, in addition to the effect of any of the game machines F4 to F6, a displacement setting means for regulating or allowing the displacement of the displacement member according to the rotation position of the rotating body member is provided. It is possible to prevent the displaced displacement member from interfering with other members around the rotating cylinder member.

In the game machine F5 or F6, a rotation regulating means for restricting the rotation of the rotating body member is provided, the displacement member is displaced to the second position, and the other side of the displacement member moves to the gaming area. The gaming machine F9, characterized in that the rotation of the rotating cylinder member is restricted when the rotating cylinder member is overhanging.

According to the game machine F9, in addition to the effect of the game machine F5 or F6, a rotation regulating means for restricting the rotation of the rotating body member is provided, and the displacement member is displaced to the second position and the displacement member is displaced. When the other side overhangs the game area, the rotation of the rotating body member is restricted. Therefore, the rotating body member is rotated with the displacement member overhanging, and the other member located on the rotation locus thereof. It is possible to prevent the displacement member from interfering with the displacement member. Further, it is possible to suppress the rotation of the rotating body member due to the load acting when the displacement member receives the game ball flowing down the game area and the weight of the game ball rolling on the upper surface of the displacement member.

In the game machine F3, the light emitting means formed so as to be able to emit light and arranged in the internal space of the rotating cylinder member, and the second communication port formed on the end surface of the rotating cylinder member in the rotation axis direction. The gaming machine F10 is provided with an opening formed on the end surface opposite to the end surface to be formed, and an electrical connection line of the light emitting means is wired through the opening.

According to the game machine F10, in addition to the effect of the game machine F3, an opening is formed in the end face of the rotating cylinder member in the rotation axis direction and opposite to the end face on which the second communication port is formed. Since the electrical connection line of the light emitting means is wired through the opening, it is possible to easily secure a space that can be used for each of the second communication port and the opening. As a result, the outflow of the game ball can be smoothly performed through the second communication port, and the wiring work to the opening of the electrical connection line can be facilitated. Further, since the second communication port and the opening can be separated as much as possible, it is possible to easily suppress the interference between the game ball that rolls the internal space to the second communication port and the electrical connection line.

<Concept of the invention using the rotating unit 700 as an example>
From a lining position that includes a first member and a second member that are displaceably formed and the first member invisiblely covers at least a part of the second member, and a state in which the first member is arranged at the lining position. In a gaming machine formed so as to be displaceable from a retractable position that reduces an area that invisiblely covers the second member, the first member is displaced to the retracted position and the second member is displaced. The gaming machine G1 characterized in that the displacement of the game machine is regulateably formed.

Here, a state in which a first member and a second member formed so as to be displaceable are provided, and the first member is arranged at an lining position that invisiblely covers at least a part of the second member and a lining position thereof. There is known a gaming machine formed so as to be displaceable from a retracted position that reduces an area that invisiblely covers the second member (for example, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2015-029849). According to this game machine, the second member is exposed by arranging the first member in the lining position and displacing the first member in the retracted position from the state where the second member is invisible to the player. It is possible to make the player visually recognize the effect.

However, in the conventional gaming machine described above, since the second member is formed so as to be displaceable, the first member is displaced to the retracted position, and when the second member is exposed, the second member is displaced. There is a risk of Therefore, there is a problem that the player cannot visually recognize the second member in an appropriate state, and the effect of the effect is reduced.

On the other hand, according to the game machine G1, the first member is formed so that the displacement of the second member can be regulated in the state of being displaced to the retracted position, so that the player can keep the second member in an appropriate state. It can be visually recognized and the effect of production can be ensured. That is, when the effect of moving the first member to the retracted position and exposing the second member is performed, the displacement of the first member to the retracted position, which must be performed for the effect, is applied to the second member. It is used as a means to regulate displacement. Therefore, it is not necessary to separately provide or control a mechanism for regulating the displacement of the second member, and the structure can be simplified accordingly.

The game machine G1 is characterized in that the second member is rotatably formed and the position of the center of gravity thereof is eccentric from the center of rotation.

According to the game machine G2, in addition to the effect of the game machine G1, the second member is rotatably formed and the position of the center of gravity thereof is eccentric from the center of rotation. Can be enhanced. That is, it is not necessary for the second member to have a shape whose center of gravity is located at the center of rotation, and for example, a shape asymmetrical with respect to the rotation axis can be adopted, so that the effect of the second member can be enhanced. .. On the other hand, if the position of the center of gravity of the second member is eccentric in this way, the second member may rotate (rotate) around the center of rotation due to its own weight. Therefore, it is particularly effective that the first member displaced to the retracted position is formed so that the displacement of the second member can be regulated, whereby the second member can be visually recognized by the player in an appropriate state. It can be done and the effect can be secured.

In the game machine G1 or G2, a displacement member displaceable is provided on the second member, and the displacement member is formed displaceably in a state where at least the first member is displaced to the retracted position. A game machine G3 characterized by this.

According to the game machine G3, in addition to the effect of the game machine G1 or G2, a displacement member displaceable is provided on the second member, and at least the first member is displaced to the retracted position. Since it is formed so as to be displaceable in the state, when the effect of displacement the first member to the retracted position and exposing the second member is performed, the effect of the effect is further enhanced by further displace the displacement member. Can be done. On the other hand, if the displacement member is displaced when the second member is exposed, the position of the center of gravity may move with the displacement, and the second member may rotate (rotate). Therefore, it is particularly effective that the first member displaced to the retracted position is formed so that the displacement of the second member can be regulated, whereby the second member can be visually recognized by the player in an appropriate state. It can be done and the effect can be secured.

In the game machine G3, the outer peripheral surface of the second member is arranged so as to be visible to the player, and one side of the displacement member is rotatably supported on the outer peripheral surface of the second member, and the one side is rotatably supported. The gaming machine G4 is characterized in that the other side opposite to the one is formed so as to be able to project into the gaming area.

According to the game machine G4, in addition to the effect of the game machine G3, the outer peripheral surface of the second member is arranged so as to be visible to the player, and the displacement member can rotate on one side to the outer peripheral surface of the second member. Since the other side opposite to one side is formed so as to be able to project to the game area, the game ball flowing down the game area can be received by the upper surface of the displacement member. Therefore, for example, when the inflow port of the game ball is formed in the second member, the game ball flowing down the game area can be easily flowed into the inflow port by using the displacement member. .. In this case, if the displacement member receives the game ball flowing down the game area, the second member may be rotated by the load acting at that time or the weight of the game ball rolling on the upper surface of the displacement member. Therefore, it is particularly effective that the first member displaced to the retracted position is formed so that the displacement of the second member can be regulated, whereby the displaced member is projected to a predetermined position in the game area. Can be easily maintained.

In the game machine G4, the first member is arranged in the game area while facing the outer peripheral surface of the second member at the lining position, and outside the area of the game area at the retracted position. A game machine G5 characterized by being arranged.

According to the game machine G5, in addition to the effect of the game machine G4, the first member is arranged in the game area while facing the outer peripheral surface of the second member at the lining position, so that the game flows down the game area. It is possible to prevent the sphere from colliding with the second member and causing the second member to rotate. In particular, when the rotation position of the second member is a rotation position that directs the displacement member toward the game area side, the game ball flowing down the game area collides with the displacement member, and the displacement member is released (tension). Can be suppressed.

Further, since the first member is arranged outside the area of the game area at the retracted position, it is possible to secure a space for the displaced member to project to the game area due to the displacement of the first member to the retracted position. .. Therefore, the outer peripheral surface of the second member can be brought closer to the game area side (player side) by that amount, and the displacement member can be easily visually recognized by the player.

In the game machine G5, the first member is rotatably formed around a rotation axis substantially parallel to the rotation axis of the second member, and is formed in a plate shape curved along the outer peripheral surface of the second member. A game machine G6 characterized by being played.

According to the game machine G6, in addition to the effect of the game machine G5, the first member is rotatably formed around a rotation axis substantially parallel to the rotation axis of the second member, and the outer peripheral surface of the second member. Since it is formed in a plate shape that curves along the above, the space required for displacement between the lining position and the retracting position can be suppressed. Therefore, a space for arranging other members can be secured accordingly. Further, by forming the first member in a curved shape in this way, it is possible to prevent the game ball flowing down the game area from being stopped on the first member arranged at the lining position, and smoothly. It can be made to flow down.

A game machine G7 characterized in that any of the game machines G3 to G6 includes a driving means for generating a driving force and a transmitting means for transmitting the driving force of the driving force to the second member and the displacement member. ..

Here, in order to form the second member rotatably and to displace the displacement member on the second member, a driving means is required for each of the second member and the displacement member, which increases the product cost. Bulky. Further, if the driving means for displacementing the displacement member is mounted on the second member, the weight of the second member increases, so that it becomes difficult to smoothly start or stop the rotation of the second member.

On the other hand, according to the game machine G7, in addition to the effect of any of the game machines G3 to G6, the driving means for generating the driving force and the driving force of the driving means are applied to the second member and the displacement member. Since the transmission means for transmitting is provided, it is possible to rotate the second member and displace the displacement member by also using the driving means of 1. Therefore, the product cost can be reduced. Further, since it is not necessary to mount the driving means for displacing the displacement member on the second member, the weight of the second member can be reduced, and the rotation of the second member can be smoothly started or stopped.

The game machine G7 is characterized in that the game machine G7 is provided with a connecting means for connecting the first member and the displacement member and interlocking the displacement of the displacement member with the displacement of the first member.

According to the game machine G8, in addition to the effect of the game machine G7, a connecting means for connecting the first member and the displacement member and interlocking the displacement of the first member with the displacement of the displacement member is provided, so that the displacement member is displaced. The driving means for causing the displacement can also be used as the driving means for displacementing the first displacement member. In this case, when the displacement member and the first member are displaced by the driving forces of different driving means, if a control failure occurs, the displacement member and the first member may interfere with each other. Since one member can be mechanically connected and their displacements can be synchronized, interference between the displacement member and the first member can be reliably suppressed.

<Concept of the invention using the rotating unit 700 as an example>
In a gaming machine provided with a driving means for generating a driving force, a displacement member displaced by the driving force of the driving means, and a transmitting means for transmitting the driving force of the driving means to the displacement member, the transmitting means is used. , The first member, the second member located closer to the displacement member in the driving force transmission path than the first member, and the engaging member disposed between the first member and the second member. When the first member is displaced in one direction with respect to the second member, the engaging member engages with the first member and the second member, and the driving force is transmitted. The gaming machine H1 is characterized in that, in a predetermined section of the displacement section of the displacement member, the second member is displaced ahead of the first member in the one direction.

Here, a gaming machine including a driving means for generating a driving force, a displacement member displaced by the driving force of the driving means, and a transmitting means for transmitting the driving force of the driving means to the displacement member is known. (For example, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2015-029849). However, in the above-mentioned conventional gaming machine, the transmission state of the driving force by the transmitting means from the driving means to the displacement member is always constant. Therefore, when the driving means is driven at a constant driving speed, the displacement member is also constant. It is displaced at the displacement speed, and it is not possible to give a change to the displacement mode of the displacement member. Therefore, there is a problem that the effect of the effect due to the displacement of the displacement member is insufficient.

Although the displacement speed of the displacement member can be changed by increasing or decreasing the drive speed of the drive means, the displacement speed in a predetermined section of the displacement section of the displacement member is different from the displacement speed in other sections. In order to increase the speed, it is necessary to arrange a sensor device that detects the position of the displacement member and control to increase or decrease the output of the drive means according to the detection result of the sensor device, which leads to an increase in product cost and control cost. .. In addition, the structure and control become complicated, resulting in a decrease in reliability.

On the other hand, according to the game machine H1, the transmission means includes the first member, the second member located closer to the displacement member in the transmission path of the driving force than the first member, and the first member and the second member thereof. It is provided with an engaging member disposed between the members, and when the first member is displaced in one direction with respect to the second member, the engaging member engages with the first member and the second member. As the driving force is transmitted, the transmission of the driving force is cut off, and in a predetermined section of the displacement section of the displacement member, the second member is displaced ahead of the first member in one direction. Therefore, regardless of the driving state of the driving means, the displacement speed of the displacement member in the predetermined section can be made faster than the displacement speed of the displacement member in the other section. Therefore, it is possible to give a change to the displacement mode of the displacement member and enhance the effect of the effect accompanying the displacement of the displacement member.

Further, according to the game machine H1, the second member can be preceded by the first member in one direction regardless of the driving state of the driving means. Therefore, for example, in the entire displacement section of the displacement member, The driving means can be driven at a constant driving speed, and it is not necessary to increase or decrease the driving speed of the driving means in the middle of the displacement section of the displacement member (that is, depending on a predetermined section or another section). As a result, control can be simplified, control costs can be reduced, and operational reliability can be improved. Alternatively, the driving of the driving means can be stopped in a predetermined section, and in this case, energy consumption can be suppressed.

Further, according to the game machine H1, in the driving state in which the first member is displaced in the other direction with respect to the two members, the engaging member is disengaged and the transmission of the driving force is cut off. The displacement member can be in a stopped state (non-driving state), and the driving force of the driving means in such a driving state can be used as a driving force for driving another member. That is, by switching the driving direction of the driving means, the two members, the displacement member and the other member, can be displaced respectively.

The transmission means is formed so that when the first member is displaced with respect to the two members in the other direction, the engaging member is disengaged and the transmission of the driving force is cut off. It may be what is done.

In the game machine H1, the displacement member is rotatably formed and its center of gravity is eccentric from the center of rotation. In the predetermined section, the weight of the displacement member causes the second member to move in one direction. A game machine H2 characterized in that it is formed so as to be able to act in a direction of displacement.

According to the game machine H2, in addition to the effect of the game machine H1, the displacement member is rotatably formed and the position of the center of gravity thereof is eccentric from the center of rotation. Since the two members are formed so as to be able to act in the direction of displacement in one direction, the weight of the displaced member can be used to displace the second member in advance of the first member in one direction. .. That is, the displacement speed of the displacement member in the predetermined section can be made faster than the displacement speed of the displacement member in the other section. As a result, it is possible to give a change to the displacement mode of the displacement member and enhance the effect of the effect accompanying the displacement of the displacement member.

For example, when the displacement member is repeatedly formed to rotate 360 degrees with its rotation axis as the center of rotation, the displacement speed (rotational speed) of the displacement member in a predetermined section is the displacement speed (rotational speed) of the displacement member in another section. A mode in which the displacement speed (rotational speed) is faster than the displacement speed (rotational speed), that is, a rotation mode in which the rotation speed is increased or decreased during one rotation can be repeatedly performed.

In the game machine H2, the transmission means includes a main body portion that is rotationally driven by the second member, a crank member that protrudes from the main body portion and has a pin portion that is eccentrically located from the rotation center of the main body portion. A sliding groove through which the pin portion of the crank member is slidably inserted is formed on one end side, and an arm member whose intermediate portion is rotatably supported is provided, and the other end side of the arm member is displaced. A game machine H3 characterized in that it is connected to a member.

According to the game machine H3, in addition to the effect of the game machine H2, the transmission means is projected from the main body portion rotationally driven by the second member and the main body portion thereof, and is positioned eccentrically from the rotation center of the main body portion. Since a crank member having a pin portion and an arm member in which a sliding groove into which the pin portion of the crank member is slidably inserted is formed on one end side and an intermediate portion is rotatably supported, the arm member is provided. By rotationally driving the crank member by the second member and sliding the pin member along the sliding groove, the other end side of the arm member can be reciprocated. In this case, since the other end side of the arm member is connected to the displacement member, the displacement member can be reciprocated between the first position and the second position in accordance with the reciprocating operation of the other end side of the arm member. .. That is, the displacement direction of the displacement member can be switched without switching the drive direction of the drive means.

In the game machine H3, the displacement member is reciprocated between the first position and the second position according to the reciprocating operation on the other end side of the arm member, and is displaced from the first position to the second position. In the middle of the displacement and during the displacement from the second position to the first position, the direction in which the weight of the displacement member is applied to the second member is such that the second member is subjected to the other. The gaming machine H4 is characterized in that the second member is displaced from the direction of displacement in the direction to the direction of displacement of the second member in one direction.

According to the game machine H4, in addition to the effect of the game machine H3, the displacement member is reciprocated between the first position and the second position with the reciprocating movement of the other end side of the arm member, and the first position. During the displacement from the second position to the second position and during the displacement from the second position to the first position, the direction in which the weight of the displacement member is applied to the second member determines the second member. Since the direction of displacement in the other direction is changed to the direction of displacement of the second member in one direction, when the displacement member is reciprocated, even if it is displaced in any direction, from the middle of the displacement. The displacement speed of the displacement member can be increased. As a result, it is possible to give a change to the displacement mode of the displacement member and enhance the effect of the effect accompanying the displacement of the displacement member.

For example, the displacement member reciprocates between the overhanging position (first position), which is a position where the displacement member is visibly extended from the player, and the retracting position (second position), which is the overhanging position or retracted position. In the case of operation, when the displacement member is projected from the retracted position to the overhanging position, the displacement member is displaced at a constant displacement speed until the middle, and the displacement speed of the displacement member is increased from the middle to vigorously move the displacement member. It is possible to overhang to the overhanging position, and when retracting the displacement member from the overhanging position to the overhanging position, the displacement member is displaced at a constant displacement speed until the middle, and the displacement speed of the displacement member is increased from the middle. Then, the displacement member can be immediately retracted to the retracted position.

In the game machine H1, the displacement member is formed so as to be slidable, and in the predetermined section, the displacement member is tilted downward in the direction of the slide displacement, so that the weight of the displacement member makes the second member. The gaming machine H5 is characterized in that it is formed so as to be able to act in the direction of displacement in one direction.

According to the game machine H5, in addition to the effect of the game machine H1, the displacement member is formed so as to be slidable, and in a predetermined section, the displacement member is tilted downward in the direction of the slide displacement, so that the weight of the displacement member is heavy. Since the sword is formed so as to be able to act in a direction that displaces the second member in one direction, the weight of the displaced member is used to displace the second member in advance of the first member in one direction. be able to. That is, the displacement speed of the displacement member in the predetermined section can be made faster than the displacement speed of the displacement member in the other section. As a result, it is possible to give a change to the displacement mode of the displacement member and enhance the effect of the effect accompanying the displacement of the displacement member.

A game machine H6 in any of the game machines H2 to H5, wherein the displacement member is formed so as to be able to hold a game ball at least in the predetermined section.

According to the game machine H6, in addition to the effect of any of the game machines H2 to H5, the displacement member is formed so as to be able to hold the game ball in at least a predetermined section, so that the displacement member holds the game ball. In the state, the weight of the displacement member as a whole can be increased by the weight of the game ball, and the displacement speed of the displacement member in a predetermined section can be further increased. Further, the weight of the displacement member as a whole is made different depending on whether the displacement member holds the game ball, the game ball is not held, or the number of the game balls held. be able to. Thereby, in each case, the displacement speed of the displacement member can be changed. As a result, it is possible to give a change to the displacement mode of the displacement member and enhance the effect of the effect accompanying the displacement of the displacement member.

In any of the game machines H2 to H6, the displacement member includes a receiving portion for receiving the game ball flowing down the game area, and at least in the predetermined section, when the receiving portion receives the game ball, the game ball. The gaming machine H7 is characterized in that a force acting on the displacement member is formed so as to be able to act in a direction in which the second member is displaced in one direction.

According to the game machine H7, in any of the game machines H2 to H6, the displacement member includes a receiving portion for receiving the game ball flowing down the game area, and when the receiving portion receives the game ball at least in a predetermined section. Since the force acting on the displacement member from the game ball is formed so as to be able to act in the direction of displacement of the second member in one direction, the kinetic energy of the game ball when the receiving portion receives the game ball. Can be used to increase the displacement speed of the displacement member in a predetermined section. In addition, the force applied to the displacement member differs depending on whether the receiving portion receives the game ball, does not receive it, or receives the game ball according to the flow speed (magnitude of kinetic energy) of the game ball. be able to. Thereby, in each case, the displacement speed of the displacement member can be changed. As a result, it is possible to give a change to the displacement mode of the displacement member and enhance the effect of the effect accompanying the displacement of the displacement member.

<About the concept of the invention using the general winning opening unit 150 as an example>
The base member (base plate 60) having a game area on the front side, the first decorative means (decorative member 60c) forming a decoration on the front surface of the base member, and the decoration of the first decorative means in the front view are continuous. In a gaming machine including a second decorative means (decorative member 154) for forming a decoration, the first decorative means and the second decorative means are arranged at positions adjacent to each other in the front-rear direction in a front view. The featured game machine J1.

Conventionally, a base member having a game area on the front side, a first decorative means which is arranged in front of the base member and a decoration is formed on the front surface, and a first decorative means which is arranged in front of the first decorative means. A gaming machine is known that includes one member and a second decorative means that is disposed in front of the first member and forms a decoration that is continuous with the decoration of the first decorative means in front view (for example,). JP-A-2007-000195). According to this game machine, the design of the base member can be ensured by making the player visually recognize the decorations of the first decorative means and the second decorative means as one decoration.

However, in the conventional gaming machine described above, since the second decorative means is arranged in front of the first member, the second decorative means is separated from the first decorative means by the thickness of the first member. Placed at a distance. Therefore, depending on the position (direction of the line of sight) at which the player visually recognizes the base member, the decoration of the first decorative means and the decoration of the second decorative means are visually recognized by being shifted by the thickness of the first member, and the base. There was a problem that the design of the member was deteriorated.

On the other hand, according to the game machine J1, the first decorative means and the second decorative means are arranged at positions adjacent to each other in the front-rear direction in the front view, so that the first decorative means and the second decorative means are used. The front-rear separation distance can be reduced. As a result, when the first decorative means and the second decorative means are visually recognized from an angle inclined with respect to the front view of the first decorative means or the second decorative means, the decoration of the first decorative means and the decoration of the second decorative means It is possible to prevent the image from being misaligned and visually recognized. Therefore, it is possible to make it easier for the player to visually recognize the decoration of the first decoration means and the decoration of the second decoration means as one decoration, and the design of the base member can be improved.

The first decorative means may be any one on which the decoration is formed. For example, a seal member having the decoration printed on the plate-shaped member is attached to the front surface of the base member, or the decoration is provided on the front surface of the base member. Is to be printed.

When the second decorative means is attached (adhered) to the front of the first decorative means, the operator may attach (adhere) the second decorative means while visually recognizing the decoration of the first decorative means. it can. Therefore, the worker can easily attach the second decorative means to the first decorative means at a position where the decoration of the first decorative means and the decoration of the second decorative means are continuous. Therefore, the workability of the worker who attaches the second decorative means to the first decorative means can be improved.

In the game machine J1, the front member is provided with a front member formed of a light-transmitting material, formed in an outer shape larger than the outer shape in the front view of the second decorative means, and arranged in front of the second decorative means.

<About the concept of the invention using the special winning device 550 as an example>
It includes a game board (base plate 60) having a game area on the front side, and a path unit (special winning device 550) arranged on the game board and having a path for throwing a game ball flowing down the game area. In the game machine, the path unit transfers a first path (main path SK2) for throwing a game ball to one side in the horizontal direction with respect to the game board in a front view, and a game ball thrown from the first path. A second path (main path SK3) for throwing a ball to the other side in the horizontal direction with respect to the game board, and a second path connecting the first path and the second path on the one side in the horizontal direction with respect to the game board. The third path includes three paths (curved path WK1), and the third path provides a first guiding means for guiding the game ball to at least one of the front side and the back side of the game board in front of the game board. A game machine K1 provided on at least one inner wall on the side or the back side.

Conventionally, a game machine including a game board having a game area on the front side and a path unit arranged on the game board and having a path for guiding the throwing of a game ball flowing down the game area has been known. (For example, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2015-131046). According to this game machine, a game ball that has flowed into a guide path formed in a route unit is guided (rolled) along the route of the guide path, thereby making the game ball roll (flow down). Can be given.

However, in the above-mentioned conventional game machine, the first path for throwing the game ball to one side in the horizontal direction with respect to the game board in the front view and the game ball thrown from the first path are sent to the game board. When the second path for throwing the ball to the other side in the horizontal direction and the third path for connecting the first path and the second path on the one side in the horizontal direction with respect to the game board are formed, the second path is formed. Since the velocity of the game ball thrown from the first path is maximized at the communication portion with the third path (the downstream end of the first path), it is located on the extension line of the throwing direction of the first path, and is the first. The game ball collides with the inner wall of the third path that the game ball thrown from the first path comes into contact with, and the game ball easily bounces toward the upstream side of the first path. Therefore, there is a risk that the game ball that collides with the inner wall of the third path returns to the first path, or swings (shake) in the throwing direction (horizontal direction in front view) of the first path inside the third path. Therefore, since the game ball thrown from the first path to the third path sways in the third path, the player cannot follow the game ball thrown in the third path with his / her eyes in a certain direction, and the third path. There is a problem that it is difficult for the player to visually recognize the game ball sent to the route.

In this case, by lengthening the path of the third path, the throwing direction of the game ball thrown from the first path is smoothly switched to the rolling direction of the second path, and the game ball passing through the third path. However, since the third path is formed to be long, the size of the entire path unit becomes large by that amount, and it becomes impossible to secure a space for arranging the path unit on the game board.

On the other hand, according to the game machine K1, the path unit has a first path for throwing a game ball to one side in the horizontal direction with respect to the game board in the front view, and a game ball thrown from the first path. A third path including a second path for throwing a ball to the other side in the horizontal direction with respect to the game board and a third path for connecting the first path and the second path on one side in the horizontal direction with respect to the game board. Is provided with a first guiding means for guiding the game ball to at least one of the front side and the back side of the game board on at least one inner wall of the front side or the back side of the game board, and thus passes through the third path. The game ball to be played can be moved to the front side or the back side (the front-back direction of the game board in the front view). By moving the game ball on the front side or the back side, the game ball that has rolled and accelerated on the first path can be slowed down on the third path, and the game ball that collides with the inner wall of the third path is the third. It is possible to prevent the ball from returning to the first path or swinging (shaking) in the throwing direction (horizontal direction in front view) of the first path in the third path. As a result, the line of sight of the player can follow the game ball thrown from the third path in a certain direction. As a result, it is possible to make it easier for the player to visually recognize the game ball sent to the third path.

In addition, since it is possible to suppress the game ball from swinging (shaking) in the horizontal direction (left-right direction in the front view) with respect to the game board in the front view, the third path connecting the first path and the second path can be suppressed accordingly. It is not necessary to lengthen the path to prevent the game ball from swinging, and the path of the third path can be shortened. As a result, the path unit can be housed in a predetermined area with respect to the game board, and a space for arranging the path unit with respect to the game board can be secured.

As the first guiding means for guiding the game ball, the rolling direction of the game ball is switched due to unevenness, or a displacement member is arranged at the switching portion of the path, and the game ball is guided to the second path by the displacement of the displacement member. The method of guiding to is illustrated.

In the game machine K1, the first path includes a second guide means at a connecting portion with the third path, and the game ball thrown from the first path by the second guide means is the first guide means. A game machine K2 characterized by being guided to.

According to the game machine K2, in addition to the effect of the game machine K1, the first path is provided with a second guide means at a connecting portion with the third path, and the ball is thrown from the first path by the second guide means. Since the game ball is guided by the first guide means, the game ball thrown from the first path to the third path can be easily thrown to the first guide means of the third path. As a result, the throwing of the game ball from the first path to the third path can be made smooth. Therefore, since the game ball thrown from the first path can be easily thrown to the first guide means, the inflow of the game ball from the third path to the second path can be smoothed.

In this case, since at least a part of the convex portion is set at the same height as the rolling surface of the game ball at the downstream end of the first path, the convex portion reduces the throwing speed of the game ball. A part of the ball can be positioned on an extension of the throwing space of the first path.

As a result, when two game balls are thrown in a row on the first path, the game balls thrown in advance of the first path are brought into contact with the convex portion to slow down the rolling speed. , The following game ball can be made to collide with the preceding game ball. Therefore, the preceding game ball can be pushed out to the second path side by using the force (throwing speed) of the trailing game ball flowing down the first path.

Therefore, a game ball in a state in which two balls are connected can be divided into a game ball that precedes and a game ball that follows by the convex portion of the first guiding means. As a result, it is possible to make it easier for the player to visually recognize the game balls passing through the third path for each ball, and it is possible to easily enhance the interest of the player.

In the game machine K3, a branch path to which a predetermined game value is given by the inflow of the game ball into the second path is branched from the second path, and the path unit connects the inlet of the branch path. The gaming machine K4 is characterized by comprising a variable plate that can be displaced between a closing position and an opening position, and a driving means that drives the variable plate to switch the position of the variable plate at a predetermined time.

It is possible to prevent the spheres from being continuously unable to flow into the branch path. That is, by letting the game balls passing through the second path flow down one by one by the first guiding means, the game balls continuously flow down the second path at the timing when the variable plate blocks the inflow port of the branch path. Can be suppressed from passing through. As a result, the player can be given a game value at substantially regular intervals, and it is possible to prevent the player's interest from being lowered during the game.

According to the game machine K5, in addition to the effect of any of the game machines K1 to K4, the first guiding means is composed of a concave portion recessed in the inner wall on the front side and the back side or a convex portion projected. Since the convex or concave portion on the front side and the convex or concave portion on the back side are formed at positions facing each other, the game ball is partially displaced in the middle of the third path to increase the throwing speed of the game ball. Can be slowed down. Therefore, the route of the third route can be shortened. As a result, the path unit can be easily accommodated in a predetermined area with respect to the game board, and a space for arranging the path unit with respect to the game board can be secured.

In the game machine K5, the game machine K6 is characterized in that the horizontal separation dimension from the protruding tip of the convex portion to one inner wall of the third path is set to be smaller than the diameter of the game ball.

According to the game machine K6, in addition to the effect of the game machine K5, the horizontal separation dimension from the protruding tip of the convex portion to one inner wall of the third path is set to be smaller than the diameter of the game ball. , The game ball that flows down the third path and is thrown to the first guide means can be easily brought into contact with the convex portion of the first guide means. As a result, the game ball that flows down the first path and is sent to the third path can be brought into contact with the convex portion, and its rolling speed can be easily slowed down. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the game ball that collides with the inner wall of the third path from returning to the first path or swinging in the third path in a direction different from the throwing direction of the third path. As a result, it is possible to make it easier for the player to visually recognize the game ball passing through the third path.

Further, since the concave portion is formed on the inner wall on the front side of the route unit, it is possible to prevent the first guiding means from protruding from the front surface of the route unit. Therefore, the route unit is arranged on the player side accordingly. , It is possible to make it easier for the player to see the game ball passing through the path unit.

More specifically, when the recess is formed on the inner surface on the front side, the plate thickness on the front side of the path unit needs to be larger than the recessed depth of the recess. Therefore, as the plate thickness on the front side of the path unit increases, it becomes difficult for the player to see the game ball thrown on the back side thereof. Further, when the concave portion is formed on the inner surface on the front side, it is conceivable to bend the plate on the front side of the path unit along the shape of the concave portion. It is necessary to have a space from the glass plate forming the front surface of the area, and it is necessary to arrange the entire game board on the back side. Therefore, as the distance from the player to the back side, it becomes difficult for the player to see the game ball to which the path unit is sent.

Further, when the recess is formed on the inner surface on the front side, it is conceivable to open the portion where the recess is formed, but in this case, the rigidity of the path unit is lowered by the amount of the opening, and the path is formed. The unit is easily damaged. Further, if an opening is formed in front of the path unit, there is a risk that the opening may be passed through and fraudulent.

On the other hand, in the game machine K7, since the concave portion is formed on the back side of the path unit and the convex portion is formed on the front side of the path unit, it is possible to prevent the plate thickness of the entire front side of the path unit from becoming thick. The game ball passing through the inside of the path unit can be easily seen, and the path unit is arranged on the front side of the game machine by suppressing the partial protrusion toward the front side of the path unit so that the inside of the path unit can be easily seen. It is possible to make it easier to see the game ball passing through.

<About the concept of the invention using the special winning device 550 as an example>
A game board (base plate 60) having a game area on the front side, a flow direction changing means (special winning device 32550) for changing the flow direction of a game ball arranged in front of the game board and flowing down the game area, and The flow direction changing means is arranged on the front side of the first member (front plate 32564) arranged on the front surface of the game board and the front side of the first member at a predetermined interval. The gaming machine L1 is provided with a second member (base plate 32571) and an adjusting means (shim member SI) for displacing at least one of the first member or the second member.

Conventionally, a game machine including a game board having a game area on the front side and a nail to be struck on the front side of the game board has been known (for example, JP-A-11-197311). According to this game machine, it is possible to adjust the angle of the nails struck on the game board (bending the nails) to adjust the flow direction of the game ball flowing down the game area. However, if the angle of the nail is changed to change the flow direction of the game ball, the angle of the nail is visually recognized by the player, which is disadvantageous to the player (it is difficult for the game ball to flow down into the advantageous flow path). There is a problem that when the player recognizes the angle of the nail), the player does not play with the game machine judged to be disadvantageous, and the operating rate of the game machine decreases.

On the other hand, according to the game machine L1, the flow direction changing means is arranged on the front side of the game board and the front side of the first member at a predetermined interval.

<Concept of the invention using the lower displacement unit 400 as an example>
A base member (base member 410), a displacement member (cam member 422) displaceably arranged on the base member, and a driven member (first link) connected to the displacement member and driven to the displacement of the displacement member. In a gaming machine including the member 431), the displacement member is provided with a regulating means that abuts on the driven member to regulate the displacement of the driven member, and the driven member has at least a part of the displacement region thereof. The gaming machine O1 is set in a region that overlaps with the displacement region of the displacement member, and the restricting means comes into contact with the driven member in the region that overlaps with the displacement region of the displacement member.

Conventionally, a gaming machine including a base member, a displacement member displaceable on the base member, and a driven member connected to the displacement member and driven to the displacement of the displacement member has been known. (For example, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2015-029849). However, in the conventional gaming machine, in order to regulate the displacement of the displacement member and the driven member, if the regulating means for regulating the displacement of both the displacement member and the driven member is formed, it is necessary to form the regulating means at two places. Therefore, there is a problem that the shape becomes complicated and the manufacturing cost increases.

On the other hand, the game machine O1 includes a base member, a displacement member displaceable on the base member, and a driven member connected to the displacement member and driven to the displacement of the displacement member. In the displacement member, the displacement member is provided with a regulating means for restricting the displacement of the driven member by abutting with the driven member, and the driven member is set in a region where at least a part of the displacement region overlaps with the displacement region of the displacement member, and the displacement thereof. Since the regulating means comes into contact with the driven member in the region overlapping the displacement region of the member, it is possible to regulate the displacement of the driven member toward the displacement member. Therefore, it is not necessary to form a regulating means for regulating the displacement of the driven member in a separate member. As a result, it is possible to suppress an increase in manufacturing cost.

Further, since the displacement member regulating means is brought into contact with the driven member, it is possible to restrict the displacement member from being displaced toward the driven member. Therefore, the displacement of the driven member and the displacement member can be regulated by using the same part of the regulating means. Therefore, it is not necessary to form a means for regulating the displacement of the driven member and the displacement member, and it is possible to suppress an increase in manufacturing cost accordingly.

In the game machine O1, the driven member includes a second displacement member that is displaceably arranged, and the regulating means is brought into contact with the driven member when the driven member is arranged at a predetermined position. The gaming machine O2 is characterized in that the second displacement member is displaced when the driven member is arranged at a predetermined position and comes into contact with the regulating means.

Here, when the driven member includes a displaceable second displacement member, the driven member may be displaced due to the displacement of the second displacement member due to the inertial force due to the displacement of the second displacement member.

On the other hand, according to the game machine O2, in addition to the effect of the game machine O1, the driven member includes a second displacement member which is displaceably arranged, and the regulating means is that the driven member is in a predetermined position. When the driven member is arranged, the displacement member is abutted against the driven member, and the second displacement member is displaced when the driven member is arranged at a predetermined position and abuts against the regulating means. Therefore, the displacement of the driven member is regulated by the regulating means. The second displacement member can be displaced in this state. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the driven member from being displaced by the inertial force due to the displacement of the second displacement member. As a result, it is possible to make it easier for the player to visually recognize the effect of the displacement of the second displacement member, and it is possible to easily improve the interest of the player by the effect of the displacement of the second displacement member.

In the game machine O2, the displacement member is displaced between the first position and the second position, and the first displacement region that displaces the intermediate position between the first position and the second position from the first position. The driven member has a second displacement region that displaces the second position from the intermediate position, and the driven member is displaced from the first position to the second position, so that the driven member has a first driven position. From the first driven region and the third driven position, which are driven from the second driven position and displace the third driven position at an intermediate position between the first driven position and the second driven position from the first driven position. It has a second driven region that displaces the second driven position, the second displacement member is displaceable at the first to third driven positions, and the regulating means is such that the driven member is the first. A gaming machine O3 characterized in that when it is arranged at each of the first to third driven positions, it comes into contact with the driven member.

According to the game machine O3, in addition to the effect of the game machine O2, the displacement member is displaced between the first position and the second position, and the displacement member is displaced from the first position to the intermediate position between the first position and the second position. The driven member has a first displacement region to be displaced and a second displacement region to displace the second position from the intermediate position, and the driven member is first driven by the displacement member being displaced from the first position to the second position. A first driven area that is driven from a position to a second driven position and displaces a third driven position that is intermediate between a first driven position and a second driven position, and a second driven region from a third driven position. It has a second driven region that displaces the position, the second displacement member is displaceable in the first to third driven positions, and the regulating means is that the driven member is placed in each of the first to third driven positions. Since it comes into contact with the driven member when it is arranged, the contact between the regulating means and the driven member can be released when the driven member displaces the first driven region and the second driven region. Therefore, when the driven member is driven, the resistance caused by the contact between the regulating means and the driven member can be eliminated, and the driven member can be easily driven. As a result, the displacement of the displacement member and the driven member can be stabilized.

In the game machine O3, the regulating means is configured as a wall portion projecting from the base member to the driven member side, and the driven member is positioned so as to overlap at least a part of the base member in a front view. It is characterized in that it can be slidably displaced on a plane parallel to the member, and the region overlapping the base member in the front view is gradually reduced as the driven position moves from the first driven position to the second driven position. Game machine O4.

According to the game machine O4, in addition to the effect of the game machine O3, the regulating means is configured as a wall portion projecting from the base member to the driven member side, and the driven member is at least one of the base members in a front view. It is possible to slide and displace on a plane parallel to the base member at the position where it overlaps with the portion, and as the driven from the first driven position to the second driven position, the area overlapping with the base member in the front view is gradually reduced. In the second driven position, the region where the driven member projects to the outside of the base member in the front view is made larger than that in the first driven position. Therefore, it is difficult to regulate the swing of the driven member by the regulating means provided on the base member because the driven member projects to the outside of the base member. Therefore, the driven member is more likely to swing toward the base member side as it is driven from the first driven position to the second driven position. However, by regulating the swing of the displacement member connected to the driven member, the regulation means is used. The number of restricted points can be increased to make it difficult for the driven member to swing. As a result, it is possible to suppress swinging when the driven member is arranged in the second driven region.

In the game machine O4, the driven member is formed in a rectangular shape having a long side when viewed from the front, has a rotating shaft rotatably on one side in the longitudinal direction, and is rotatably arranged on the base member. In one driven position, the longitudinal direction of the driven member is substantially parallel to the horizontal direction, and when the driven member is driven from the first driven position to the second driven position, the driven member rotates about the rotation axis. The gaming machine O5, wherein the other side of the driven member is arranged on the upper side in the direction of gravity with respect to the rotation axis.

According to the game machine O5, in addition to the effect of the game machine O4, the driven member is formed in a rectangular shape having a long side in the front view, has a rotatable axis on one side in the longitudinal direction, and is used as a base member. It is rotatably arranged, and in the first driven position, the longitudinal direction of the driven member is substantially parallel to the horizontal direction, and when driven from the first driven position to the second driven position, the driven member is centered on the rotation axis. Since the driven member rotates and the other side of the driven member is arranged on the upper side in the direction of gravity with respect to the rotation axis, the driven member rotates when driven from the first driven position to the second driven position, and the longitudinal side stands up. Therefore, as the driven member stands up, the load of the driven member is likely to act toward the rotation axis, and the load of the driven member acts in the swinging direction of the driven member, so that the driven member is likely to swing.

On the other hand, in the present embodiment, by restricting the swing of the displacement member connected to the driven member, it is possible to increase the number of regulated points by the regulating means and make it difficult for the driven member to swing. As a result, it is possible to suppress swinging when the driven member is arranged in the second driven region.

Further, when the driven member is driven in the first driven region where a force for lifting the other end side of the driven member is required, the regulation of the displacement member is released from the first position to the third position (first displacement region). However, since the regulation of the displacement member is released by the regulating means in the first displacement region, it is possible to prevent the operation of the displacement member from being delayed by the regulating means. Therefore, when the displacement force of the driven member is required, the displacement force of the driven member can be secured.

Since at least a part of the displacement member overlaps with the driven member, it is possible to prevent the displacement member from tilting to the side opposite to the wall portion. As a result, the displacement of the displacement member in both axial directions can be regulated by the driven member and the wall portion, and swinging can be suppressed when the displacement member is displaced.

In the game machine O6, the game machine O7 is characterized in that the side surface of the displacement member is in contact with the projecting portion of the driven member at the second driven position.

According to the game machine O7, in addition to the effect of the game machine O6, the side surface of the displacement member is brought into contact with the projecting portion of the driven member at the second driven position, so that the displacement member is moved from the first driven position to the second driven position. When displaced to a position, the outer edge can be brought into contact with the protruding portion of the displacement member to stop. Therefore, it is possible to make the protruding portion abut on the wall portion to regulate the displacement of the driven member and to assist the stopping operation of the displacement member. Therefore, it is possible to secure a displaceable space for the displacement member and the driven member.

In the game machine O7, when one end of the driven member is pivotally supported by the base member and the displacement member is arranged at the second driven position, the displacement direction of the connecting portion of the driven member with the displacement member. Is set in the direction toward the axial center of the displacement member.

According to the game machine O8, in addition to the effect of the game machine O7, when one end of the driven member is pivotally supported by the base member and the displacement member is arranged at the second driven position, the driven member is connected to the displacement member. Since the displacement direction of the portion is set in the direction toward the axial center of the displacement member, it is possible to prevent the displacement member from being displaced by the load of the driven member when the load of the driven member acts on the displaced member. That is, when the displacement member is arranged at the second driven position, the relationship between the driven member and the displacement member can be set to the dead center relationship, so that the displacement member can be suppressed from being displaced. As a result, it is possible to prevent the displacement member from being displaced by an external force other than the driving means at the second driven position.

In the game machine O7, when one end of the driven member is pivotally supported by the base portion and the displacement member is arranged at the second driven position, the displacement direction of the connecting portion of the driven member with the displacement member The gaming machine O9 is characterized in that the combined direction of the direction in which the reaction force due to the contact between the projecting portion and the displacement member acts is set to the direction toward the axial center of the displacement member.

According to the game machine O9, in addition to the effect of the game machine O7, the driven member is in contact with the displacement member of the driven member when one end is pivotally supported by the base member and the displacement member is arranged at the second driven position. Since the combined direction of the displacement direction of the connecting portion and the direction in which the reaction force acts due to the contact between the projecting portion and the displacement member is set to the direction toward the axial center of the displacement member, the load of the driven member is set. When acting on the displacement member, it is possible to prevent the displacement member from being displaced by the load of the driven member. That is, when the displacement member is arranged at the second driven position, the direction of the force acting on the displacement member from the driven member is directed toward the axis of the displacement member, so that the displacement member rotates about the shaft support portion. It is possible to suppress the generation of the force of. As a result, it is possible to prevent the displacement member from being displaced by an external force other than the driving means at the second driven position.

It is possible to prevent the displacement member from swinging when it is displaced, and it is possible to prevent the protrusion and the bulging portion from becoming resistance during the displacement.

<Concept of the invention using the lower displacement member 440 as an example>
A decorative member (decorative member 450) formed of a light-transmitting material capable of transmitting light on the back side at least in a front view, and a state in which the decorative member can be displaced on a plane parallel to the front side on the back side. In a game machine provided with a receiving portion (ball receiving portion 467) capable of receiving and holding a game ball, the light is arranged on the back side of the decorative member and directed toward a displacement region of the receiving portion. The light emitting means is provided on the back side of the receiving portion or between the decorative member and the receiving portion, and is received by the receiving portion or the receiving portion. The gaming machine P1 is characterized in that the light emitted from the light emitting means is blocked or reflected by the sphere to partially displace the amount of light emitted from the decorative member.

Conventionally, a decorative member formed of a light-transmitting material capable of transmitting at least a part of light on the back side in front view and displaceable on the back side of the decorative member to accept a game ball. A gaming machine including a receiving portion that can be held is known (for example, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2011-104276). According to this game machine, by receiving and holding the game ball in the receiving section and then moving the receiving section, it is possible to perform an effect of moving the game ball with the movement of the receiving section.

However, in the above-mentioned conventional game machine, since the receiving portion is arranged on the back side of the decorative member, it becomes difficult for the player to recognize the position of the receiving portion and the game ball received by the receiving portion. Therefore, when the receiving unit moves after the game ball is received (held) by the receiving unit, the player can determine in which direction the receiving unit and the game ball accepted (held) by the receiving unit have moved. However, there is a problem that it is difficult for the player to grasp the position of the game ball accepted by the receiving unit.

On the other hand, the game machine P1 is provided with light emitting means which is arranged on the back side of the decorative member and can emit light toward the displacement region of the receiving portion, and the light emitting means is on the back side of the receiving portion or decoration. A game ball disposed between the member and the receiving portion and received by the receiving portion or the receiving portion blocks or reflects the light emitted from the light emitting means, and determines the amount of light emitted from the decorative member. The amount of light emitted from the receiving portion or the decorative member located on the front side of the game ball received by the receiving portion and the amount of light emitted from the decorative member at other positions are different from each other. By making them different, it is possible to make the player recognize that the receiving portion or the game ball received by the receiving portion is located on the back side of the portion having a different amount of light.

More specifically, when the light emitting means is arranged on the back side of the receiving part, the light emitted from the light emitting means is blocked by the receiving part or the game ball received by the receiving part, so that the receiving part or the receiving part is blocked. The amount of light emitted from the decorative member on the front side of the game ball received in can be made darker than the other parts of the decorative member. As a result, it is possible to make the player recognize that the receiving portion or the game ball received by the receiving portion is located on the back side of the portion where the amount of light emitted from the decorative member is small (dark).

On the other hand, when the light emitting means is arranged between the decorative member and the receiving part, the light emitted from the light emitting means is reflected by the receiving part or the game ball received by the receiving part, so that the receiving part or the receiving part or The amount of light emitted from the decorative member on the front side of the game ball received by the receiving portion can be made brighter than the other parts of the decorative member. As a result, it is possible to make the player recognize that the receiving portion or the game ball received by the receiving portion is located on the back side of the portion having a large amount of light (bright) emitted from the decorative member.

In the game machine P1, the light emitting means is arranged on the back surface side of the receiving portion, and the receiving portion displaces the space between the decorative member and the light emitting means between the first position and the second position. A possible shielding member is provided, the shielding member being formed of a non-light transmissive material, and when arranged at the first position, an area that blocks light emitted from the light emitting means is located at the second position. A game machine P2 characterized in that it is made larger than when it is arranged.

According to the game machine P2, the light emitting means is arranged on the back side of the receiving portion, and the receiving portion is a shield that can displace the space between the decorative member and the light emitting means between the first position and the second position. The member is provided, and the shielding member is formed of a non-light transmissive material, and when it is arranged in the first position, the area for blocking the light emitted from the light emitting means is arranged in the second position. Since the size is increased, when the shielding member is arranged at the first position, the amount of light emitted from the decorative member can be easily made to be partially different. As a result, when the game ball is not received (held) by the receiving portion, the shielding member is arranged at the first position and the amount of light emitted from the decorative member is partially different so that the game ball can be moved. It is possible to make the player recognize that it is accepted by the receiving unit. As a result, even when the game ball is not accepted by the receiving unit, the player can be given a hobby by the effect of the displacement of the receiving unit.

The gaming machine P2 is characterized in that the shielding member is interlocked with the displacement of the receiving portion.

According to the game machine P3, in addition to the effect of the game machine P2, since the shielding member is interlocked with the displacement of the receiving part, a driving device for projecting or retracting the holding part of the game ball of the receiving part is arranged in the receiving part. There is no need to install it. As a result, it is possible to prevent the weight of the receiving portion from becoming heavy in the drive device. Therefore, the displacement of the receiving portion can be stabilized accordingly. As a result, it is possible to make it easier for the player to enjoy the effect by the displacement of the receiving portion.

In the game machine P2 or P3, the shielding member is formed in a bowl shape, and when placed in a retracted position, the game machine P4 is characterized in that a game ball can be received inside the shield member.

According to the game machine P4, in addition to the effect of the game machine P2 or P3, the shielding member is formed in a bowl shape, and when placed in the evacuation position, the game ball can be received inside the shielding member. When the game ball is thrown inside the receiving portion, the game ball can be prevented from being exposed inside the receiving portion by receiving the game ball with the shielding member. As a result, it is possible to easily hold the game ball in the receiving portion, and it is possible to make it easier for the player to visually recognize the effect of the displacement of the receiving portion in the state where the game ball is received in the receiving portion. As a result, it is possible to make it easier for the player to enjoy the effect by the displacement of the receiving portion.

In any of the game machines P1 to P4, the receiving portion is formed below the center of the game ball held by the receiving portion in the direction of gravity, and the light emitting means is held by the receiving portion. The gaming machine P5 is characterized in that a light emitting portion is arranged at substantially the same height as the center of the above, and the light transmitting portion of the decorative member is formed at a position higher than the light emitting portion of the light emitting means. ..

Here, in a structure in which the light emitted from the light emitting means is transmitted through the decorative member and the light is reflected or blocked by the receiving portion or the gaming ball received by the receiving portion, the light emitted from the light emitting means is the gaming ball. Not only that, but also by irradiating the receiving portion, the light is easily reflected or blocked by the receiving portion.

In a game machine including a first game board member and a second game board member detachably arranged on the first game board member and forming a game board together with the first game board member, the second game board The second game board is provided with a second member arranged on the first game board member in a state of being superimposed on a part of the members, and the second game board is held by at least the first game board member. A game machine U1 characterized in that a member is formed to be removable.

Here, a game machine including a first game board member and a second game board member detachably arranged on the first game board member to form a game board together with the first game board member is known. (For example, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2003-310905). According to such a game machine, since the second game board member is fastened and fixed to the first game board member by a screw member, when the screw member is illegally removed or carelessly loosened due to vibration during the game. There is a risk that the second game board member may fall off from the first game board member (game board). On the other hand, the applicant of the present application arranges the second member on the first game board member in a state of being overlapped with a part of the second game board member, so that the overlapped portion engages the two. Utilizing this, we have come up with a technique for suppressing the second game board member from falling off from the first game board member (unknown at the time of filing the application of the present application).

However, in the above-mentioned technique, when the second game board member is replaced, it is necessary to remove not only the second game board member but also the second member from the first game board member. It was found that there is a problem that the replacement work of the second game board member becomes complicated due to the bulkiness.

On the other hand, according to the game machine U1, the second game board member is removably formed while the second member is held by at least the first game board member, so that the man-hours can be suppressed by that amount. The replacement work of the second game board member can be simplified. That is, since it is not necessary to remove the second member from the first game board member, not only the man-hours in the process of reattaching the second member can be suppressed, but also the operator loses the second member and the second member It is possible to prevent the installation method from being mistaken.

In the game machine U1, the second member is formed so as to be able to regulate the movement of the second game board member in the first direction, and the first game board member is the first direction of the second game board member. The movement in the second direction, which is different from the above, is formed so as to allow the movement of the second game board member by the second member to a position where the movement in the first direction becomes unregulated. The featured game machine U2.

According to the game machine U2, in addition to the effect of the game machine U1, the second member is formed so that the movement of the second game board member in the first direction can be regulated, and the first game board member is the second game. The movement of the board member in the second direction, which is different from the first direction, is formed so as to allow the movement of the second game board member by the second member to a position where the movement in the first direction becomes unregulated. Therefore, the second game board member can be removed without removing the second member from the first game board member. Further, the second game board member can be attached while the second member is arranged on the game board. Therefore, the man-hours can be suppressed by that amount, and the replacement work of the second game board member can be simplified.

In the game machine U2, the game machine U3 is characterized in that the second direction is a direction including at least an upper component in the direction of gravity.

According to the game machine U3, in addition to the effect of the game machine U2, since the second direction is a direction including at least an upper component in the gravitational direction, the second member restricts the movement of the second game board member in the first direction. The state in which the second game board member is arranged at a possible position can be maintained by the own weight (action of gravity) of the second game board member. That is, even if the means for fixing the second game board member to the first game board member (for example, a screw member) is illegally removed or carelessly loosened due to vibration during the game, the second game board member can be used. Since a part is maintained at the position where it is superimposed on the second member (the position where the movement in the first direction is restricted), the engagement between the two by the superimposed portion (regulation of the movement in the first direction) , It is possible to prevent the second game board member from falling off from the first game board member.

The second direction is preferably a direction that faces upward in the direction of gravity along the vertical direction. This is because the weight of the second game board member (the action of gravity) can be used to the maximum.

That is, the detection sensor is turned on (or turned off) for a relatively short time when the sphere passes, while the detection sensor is turned on (or turned off) when the second member is left in the allowable position. Or, since the time to be turned off is continued, when the detection sensor is turned on (or off) for a predetermined time (threshold value), it can be determined that the second member is still in the allowable position. ..

In the game machine U8, when the second member is arranged at the permissible position, the passage of the game ball is restricted by the detected portion of the second member.

According to the game machine U9, in addition to the effect of the game machine U8, when the second member is arranged at the allowable position, the passage of the game ball is restricted by the detected portion of the second member, which is inappropriate. It is possible to suppress that the game is performed in the state. For example, in an inappropriate state, a ball entry port is formed in the second member, and a nail that affects the entry of the game ball into the entry port is planted in the second game board member. When the two members are arranged in the allowable position, the ball entry port of the second member is separated from the nail of the second game board member as compared with the case where the two members are arranged in the regulated position, and the game ball is moved to the ball entry port by that amount. An example is a state in which the ball is easily entered. Therefore, it is possible to prevent fraud by arranging the second member at an allowable position by fraudulent means to facilitate the entry of the game ball into the ball entry port.

In the game machine U8 or U9, when the detected portion is formed of a metal material and the second member is arranged at the restricted position, a part of the inner wall of the passage through which the game ball passes is the detected portion.

A gaming machine including a contacted member, wherein the first member includes a facing portion facing the back surface of the second member arranged on the first member. X1.

Here, a game machine including a game board (first member), a base member (second member) fastened and fixed to the game board, and a nail (contacted member) to be planted in the base member. Is known (for example, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2003-310905). According to such a game machine, the base member can be attached to and detached from the game board. That is, when the nail (contacted member) planted in the base member is damaged (for example, broken) due to the contact of the game ball, the entire game board is replaced by replacing the base member. Can be eliminated.

However, in the game machine described above, an opening corresponding to the outer shape of the base member (second member) is formed through the game board (first member), and the base member is arranged in the game board so as to be accommodated in the opening. Therefore, there is a problem that the rigidity of the game board is lowered by the amount that the opening is formed through.

On the other hand, according to the game machine X1, since the first member includes a facing portion facing the back surface of the second member, the opening is closed by the facing portion as compared with the case where the opening is formed through. Therefore, the rigidity of the first member can be improved.
