Description

[Detailed description of the invention] The present invention is based on a known variable safety in which a pair of movable blades are raised or tilted in an inverted eight shape to change the state between a state where it is difficult for the ball to enter and a state where it is easy to enter the ball. In the ball socket device, a guide piece is provided on the outer surface slightly below the top of the movable wing piece and projects diagonally downward, and when the movable wing piece is in a tilted state, the guide piece moves out of the movable wing piece. It is located at a position that does not affect the balls falling along the side, and when the movable wing piece stands up, it protrudes to the side and changes the falling direction of the ball diagonally to the side. When the ball is tilted, the falling direction of the ball is changed along the outer surface of the ball,
This not only changes the gauge configuration on the game board surface, but also helps significantly increase the interest of pachinko games.

An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

In the figure, 1 is the mounting plate attached to the surface of the game board, 2 is the ball entrance opened in the center, and 3, 3 is the parallel standing position shown by the solid line in Figure 1 and the chain line in the same figure on both sides of the front of the ball entrance 2. A pair of movable blades are supported by shafts 4, 4 so as to be able to move to an inverted eight-shaped tilting position, and 5 is attached to cover both sides and the front side of the movable blades 3, 3 below the shafts 4, 4. The chuck car is fixed to the plate 1, and the mounting plate 6 is attached to cover the rear part of the ball entrance 2.
Shows the information box fixed to the rear of the. Inside the guide box 6, as is well known, a see-saw action actuating member 8 with a weight 7 inside and a heavy tip is mounted by a horizontal shaft 9, as shown by the solid line in Figure 2. When the movable blades 3, 3 are in a substantially horizontal position, their tips intervene below the shafts 4, 4 of the erected movable blades 3, 3 to hold the movable blades 3, 3 in the erected position. 10 is the operating member 8
11 is a magnet provided on the lower surface near the rear end of the actuating member 8, and the tip of the actuating member 8 springs up and moves with it, as shown by the chain line in Figure 2. When the engagement with the blades 3, 3 is released and the movable blades 3, 3 tilt in an inverted eight-shape, they are attracted to the magnetic rod 12 installed on the guide box 6. Note that the operating member 8
In the state where the movable wing pieces 3, 3 are tilted, the ball that enters between the movable wing pieces 3, 3 rides on the ball receiving piece 10,
Due to the weight of the ball, the movable wing pieces 3, 3 are raised up and returned to the substantially horizontal position shown by the solid line in FIG.

As described above, various types of variable safe ball sockets have been proposed and have a structure in which the movable blades 3, 3 are held in the upright position or caused to tilt in an inverted eight-shape in relation to the operation of the operating member 8. Belongs to the public knowledge.

Therefore, the present invention is novel in that, as shown in FIG. 3, a guide piece 13 is provided on the outer surface of the movable blades 3, 3 slightly below the tops thereof and projects obliquely downward. This guiding piece 13 is connected to the movable blade pieces 3, 3.
When tilting, the movable wing pieces 3 are in a position where they overlap the outside of the chucker 5 and do not affect the balls falling along the outer surfaces of the movable wing pieces 3, 3, as shown by the chain line in FIG. , 3 stands up, it protrudes to the side as shown by the solid line in Figure 1, and receives the ball falling along the outer surface of the movable wing on its upper surface, and can change the direction of the ball falling to the side. Set the protrusion angle as follows.

FIGS. 4 and 5 show winning balls having the variable safe ball receptacle a of the present invention constructed in this way mounted on the surface of the game board, and having a ball entrance 14 with a large opening in the horizontal direction below. Install device b in association with
Furthermore, ball passages 16, 16 connected to the winning ball device b are formed by many obstacle nails 15 on both sides of the variable safe ball socket device a, and the ball passages 16, 16 are formed to the extent that balls can pass above and below the ball passages 16, 16. Communication port 1 with wider nail spacing
An example of a gauge configuration in which 7, 17 and 18, 18 are formed is shown.

Therefore, in the case of such a gauge configuration, when the movable blades 3, 3 are tilted as shown in FIG. All balls B are winning balls device B
The balls flow into the ball entrance 14, making it possible to obtain many winning balls at once. On the other hand, when the movable wing pieces 3, 3 are standing up as shown in FIG. Therefore, all the balls B ₁ flowing into the ball passages 16, 16 from above the communication ports 17, 17 and the movable blades 3, 3 are received by the guide pieces 13, 13 and change their flow direction to the communication port 18 below. ,18 to ball passage 16,
16, and it becomes impossible to win a prize in the winning ball device b. In this way, compared to the conventional variable safe ball socket, it is possible to create a gauge configuration that is extremely interesting to players, where the difference in winnings between when the movable blade is tilted and when it is raised is large.

As explained in the above embodiments, the variable safe ball socket of the present invention has a wide range of variations that could not be achieved with conventional variable safe ball sockets by simply adding a simple structure to the movable blades. This makes it possible to configure the gauges on the game board surface, thereby increasing the interest of pachinko games.

Claims (1)

[Scope of utility model registration request] A pair of movable blades are pivotally supported on the front surface of the mounting plate so that they can stand up in parallel and tilt in an inverted eight-shape, and an operation that controls the standing and tilting of the movable blades in a guide box provided on the rear surface of the mounting plate. In a variable safe ball socket provided with a member, a member is provided on the outer surface of the movable wing slightly below the top, so that when the movable wing is tilted, the ball falling along the outer surface is affected. For a pachinko machine, the guide piece is located in a position where the movable wing pieces are not in the same position and projects diagonally downward when the movable wing piece is erected to change the direction of falling balls to the side when the movable wing pieces are erected. Variable safe ball socket.
