Description

[Detailed description of the invention] This invention includes a receiving frame that communicates with a pocket frame in which a movable wing piece is pivoted and allows the falling state of the ball to be seen from the front. The present invention relates to a variable winning device for a pachinko machine, which is provided with a first winning hole and a second winning hole into which a hit ball enters.

By pivoting two movable wing pieces so as to face each other and opening and closing the movable wing pieces, the first
A variable prize winning device that converts the state into a second state in which it is easier to accept a batted ball is conventionally known. However, the conventional variable winning device simply guides the ball received while resting on the movable wing to the back of the game board and processes it as a winning ball, and the player cannot see where the ball is going. Alternatively, the movable wing pieces simply repeat the first state and the second state as the ball hits a prize, and the profit given to the player is always constant and there is little change in the amount of profit, making it difficult to sufficiently increase the interest of pachinko games. I couldn't do it.

The present invention has been proposed in view of the above, and its gist is that a receiving frame is provided below the pocket frame to which the movable wing pieces are pivoted and communicated with the pocket frame so that the falling state of the ball can be seen from the front. A first prize opening and a second prize opening are opened inside the receiving frame, into which the ball received by the movable wing piece and dropped from the pocket frame is received, and a second prize opening is opened.
In the first prize opening, a state restoring member of a conversion mechanism is mounted which restores the state from the second state in which both the movable wing pieces are opened and a hit ball easily enters to the first state in which the movable wing pieces are closed and a ball does not enter or is difficult to enter. By doing so, the ball placed on the movable wing falls into the receiving frame, and the movable wing is restored to the first state only when the ball enters the first prize opening, and the movement of the ball is controlled. It is an object of the present invention to provide a variable prize winning device for a pachinko machine that can sufficiently increase the interest of a pachinko game by making it visible to the player and changing the player's profit based on the direction of the ball hit within the receiving frame. .

The configuration of the present invention will be explained below based on drawings of embodiments.

As shown in FIG. 1, the pachinko machine 1 has a game section 4 surrounded by a guide rail 3 on the surface of a game board 2, and inside the game section 4 are numerous obstacle nails (not shown),
It has a specific winning hole 5, a variable winning device 6, etc.

The variable prize winning device 6 includes a pocket frame 8 that is open upwardly provided on the surface of a substrate 7, and two movable wing pieces 9, 9 that are pivoted to face each other on the left and right sides facing the upper opening of the pocket frame 8. However, below the pocket frame 8, a receiving frame 11 is provided which communicates with a ball drop hole 10 at the bottom of the pocket frame 8. The receiving frame 11 is surrounded by a plate member in a frame shape so that the falling state of the batted ball can be seen from the front and only the batted ball falling from the ball drop hole 10 can be received, and the batted ball falls into the receiving frame 11. An elastic member 12 is provided at the position, and the elastic member 1
There is a narrow first prize opening 13 on the board 7 near the top surface of 2.
A second prize opening 1 is opened on the left and right of the elastic member 12.
4 and 14 have been opened. The elastic member 12 has a semicircular shape with an upper surface slightly inclined downward toward the first winning opening 13, and is made of an elastic material such as rubber or urethane.

A converting mechanism 15 is provided on the back side of the base plate 7, and the converting mechanism 15 closes the upper ends of the movable wing pieces 9, 9 to a first state in which it is difficult or not to accept a batted ball, and a second state in which it is easy to accept a batted ball. Convert.

The conversion mechanism 15, as shown in FIG.
A back frame 16 is provided on the back surface of the , and inside the back frame 16,
The swing plate 17 is pivoted by a support shaft 19 with the tip 17a facing the lower ends of both movable wing pieces 9, 9 from the introduction hole 18 of the base plate 7, and a locking step is provided next to the swing plate 17. A locking rod 21 having a diameter of 20 is pivoted. When the tip 17a of the rocking plate 17 is located within the distance between the lower ends of the movable blades 9, 9, the movable blades 9, 9 cannot tilt outward, so as shown by the solid line on the left side of FIG. The upper ends 9a, 9a are closed and the ball stands still in the first state where it is difficult or not to receive a batted ball.
In the embodiment shown in the drawings, the obstacle piece 22 is provided protruding from the base plate 7 above the movable wing pieces 9 to prevent the ball from entering between the movable wing pieces 9, 9. If the piece 22 is not provided, the ball may enter between the movable wing pieces 9, although it is difficult to do so.

When the variable prize winning device 6 is in the first state, the gaming section 4
When the hit ball flowing down inside enters the specific prize opening 5, the hit ball flows down inside the guide gutter 23 arranged on the back side of the game board 2 and falls onto the swing plate 17. When a batted ball lands on the swing plate 17, the weight of the hit ball causes the swing plate 1 to
7 swings in a direction in which the front end 17a is raised and the rear end 17b is lowered, as shown by the chain line in FIG. The swinging plate 17 swings and the tip 17a moves between the two movable wing pieces 9, 9.
When it deviates from the interval, both movable wing pieces 9, 9 tilt outward around the shaft 24 due to their own weight, and as shown by the solid line on the right side of FIG. Convert. In addition, it is desirable to form balance pieces 25, 25 on the movable blades 9, 9 toward the outside so that they can reliably tilt due to their own weight.

When the rocking plate 17 swings, the horizontal locking pin 26 formed in front of the support shaft 19 moves upward while tilting the locking rod 21 backward, and when the rocking plate 17 is tilted sufficiently, it is engaged. It engages with the locking step portion 20 of the stopper rod 21. Therefore, even if the hit ball flows out of the back frame 16 from the hole 27 on the side surface of the back frame 16 and becomes a winning ball, the swing plate 17 maintains its inclined state.

When both movable wing pieces 9, 9 open and enter the second state,
A batted ball flowing down inside the game section 4 lands on the movable wings 9, 9 and flows into the pocket frame 8. Then, this batted ball passes from the ball fall hole 10 at the bottom of the pocket frame 8 to the receiving frame 1.
1 falls onto the elastic member 12 and bounces. Note that the direction in which the ball bounces varies depending on the falling angle of the ball, the falling position, the slope of the upper surface of the elastic member 12, and the like.

When the ball bounces and falls onto the bottom surface 11' of the receiving frame 11, the ball falls onto the second base due to the downward slope of the bottom surface 11'.
The balls flow into the winning hole 14, flow out to the back side of the game board 2, and become winning balls as they are. Therefore, both movable wing pieces 9, 9 continue in the second state in which they can easily receive a batted ball. Therefore, the player fires the ball while expecting the ball to enter the second winning hole 14.

On the other hand, when the bouncing ball flows into the first winning hole 13, the ball lands on the state restoring member 28 of the conversion mechanism 15 on the back side of the board 7. Condition restoration member 28
is for restoring both movable wing pieces 9, 9 from the second state to the first state, and the embodiment of the state restoring member 28 shown in FIGS. 4 and 7 has a plate material inside the back frame 16. It is attached to a shaft and always has a balance weight 2.
9, the front end 28a is directed toward the first prize opening 13, and the rear end 28b stands still in a downwardly inclined state with a slightly lower position. Therefore, when a hit ball is placed on the state restoring member 28 from the first winning opening 13, the hit ball moves on the state restoring member 28 toward the rear end 28b due to the downward slope of the upper surface. When the hit ball is located on the rear end side of the shaft 30, the state restoring member 28 tilts in the direction of lowering the rear end 28b due to the weight of the hit ball. When the state restoring member 28 tilts, the operating pin 31 that moves integrally with the state restoring member 28 presses the lower end of the locking rod 21, causing the locking pin 26 and the locking step 2 to
0, and the swing plate 17 is made swingable. Then, the interlocking rod 3 on the lower surface of the swing plate 17
2 to restore the swing plate 17 from the tilted state shown by the chain line in FIG. 4 to the horizontal state shown by the solid line in FIG.
When the rocking plate 17 returns to the horizontal state, the tip 17a
presses the lower ends of both movable wing pieces 9, 9, rotates both movable wing pieces 9, 9, and restores them from the second state to the first state. The hit ball on the state restoring member 28 flows out from the outlet 33 at the lower end of the guide of the back frame 16 after the state restoring member 28 restores both movable wing pieces 9, 9 to the first state, and becomes a winning ball. When the hit ball comes off the state restoring member 28, the state restoring member 28 is restored to a state in which the tip 28a faces the first prize opening 13 by the bias of the balance weight 29.

In addition, in the example, the first prize opening 13 in the receiving slot 11
One each and two second winning holes 14 were formed.
The number and structure of each winning hole can be changed in design as appropriate, and the elastic member 12 does not need to be provided.

The conversion mechanism 15 is not limited to the above embodiment, and is capable of converting the state of the movable wings 9, 9, and when a batted ball flows into the first winning hole 13, both movable wings 9 , 9 can be restored from the second state to the first state. For example, in another embodiment of the conversion mechanism 15 shown in FIG. 8, an electromagnetic solenoid 34 is connected to the swing plate 17, and a first switch 36 is connected to the flow path 35 of the batted ball flowing down from the specific winning opening 5 or the introduction opening 18. A second switch 28' as a state restoring member is placed facing the flow path 37 communicating with the first winning opening 13.
In this conversion mechanism 15, when the first switch 36 detects a hit ball flowing down from the specific winning hole 5, it excites the electromagnetic solenoid 34 to swing the swing plate 17 as shown by the chain line in FIG. Convert 9,9 to the second state. When the ball bounced by the elastic member 12 flows into the first winning hole 13 when both movable wing pieces 9, 9 are in the second state, the second switch 28', which operates as a state restoring member, switches the first winning hole 13. detects the ball hit by the player, and demagnetizes the electromagnetic solenoid 34. When the electromagnetic solenoid 34 is demagnetized, the rocking plate 17 is restored to the state shown by the solid line in FIG. 8, and both movable wing pieces 9 are restored to the first state.

In summary, according to the present invention, a receiver frame is provided below the pocket frame to which the movable wing pieces are pivoted, and the receiver frame is connected to the pocket frame so that the falling state of the batted ball can be seen from the front, and the movable wing pieces are placed inside the receiver frame. A first prize opening and a second prize opening into which the batted ball that falls from the pocket frame is received.
A winning opening is opened, and the movable wing pieces are opened in the first winning opening to restore the second state in which a hit ball can easily enter into the first state to the first state in which a hit ball does not enter or is difficult to enter. Since the state restoring member of the mechanism is exposed, the state of the movable wing piece changes or does not change depending on whether the ball that falls from the pocket frame enters the first winning hole or the second winning hole. You can do it like this. Therefore, it is possible to cause a change in the profit given to the player depending on the destination of the batted ball received when the movable wing is in the second state, and to visually display the destination of the batted ball to the player. As a result, the player has a sense of expectation that the ball in the receiving frame will flow into the second winning hole, and that the movable wing pieces are
The interest in playing pachinko can be sufficiently increased by the enjoyment of continuing the state and the satisfaction of the profits provided. Furthermore, since there is randomness in the magnitude of profits obtained by players, the gaming parlor can maintain healthy gaming without suffering any major disadvantages.
