Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] The present invention relates to a ball winning device for a pachinko machine.

Conventionally, a so-called tulip type winning device has been known as a ball winning device for pachinko machines.
In the tulip type winning device, the two movable wings open and close each other to form a small socket that is difficult to receive a ball and a large socket that is easy to accept a batted ball, and even when the tulip is open, the movable wings of the tulip A batted ball that passed outside had no choice but to be considered an invalid ball. On the other hand, a small socket that is difficult to accept a batted ball and a large socket that is easy to accept a batted ball are provided at the upper and lower ends of the rotating body.
In a rotary winning device in which this rotary body is turned upside down 180 degrees every time a ball hits a prize, a movable wing that functions as a so-called tulip is provided on the large socket side of the rotary body, and the large size of the rotary body is There are also known devices in which the movable wings open when the socket side comes up. However, even with this rotary winning device,
The winning rate when the large socket side of the rotating body is on top is uniquely determined by the width of the socket, that is, the opening angle of the movable blades and the length of the movable blades. The ball had no choice but to become an invalid ball against the winning device. Therefore, the conventional batted ball winning device simply converts the batted ball to make it easier to win the big jack, which is relatively uninteresting for the player and has the drawback of reducing the player's desire to play. .

The purpose of the present invention is to eliminate such drawbacks, and when the movable wing is in a state where it can easily receive a batted ball,
To provide a batted ball winning device which has the unexpected feature that a batted ball that comes outside the winning area near the movable wing can become a winning ball.

This purpose is, according to the present invention, to include movable wings that are converted into 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, when the received winning ball activates an operating mechanism. A main winning tool is arranged on the board, and an auxiliary winning tool is provided on at least one side of the main winning tool, spaced laterally from the movable wing in the second state, and provided with an auxiliary winning opening through which a batted ball can win. The movable wing of the main winning tool has an inclined surface that faces outward and downward when the movable wing is in the second state, and the auxiliary winning tool has a movable surface that faces outward and downward when the movable wing is in the second state. A guide frame is provided to guide the batted ball to the auxiliary winning hole to make it a winning ball, and when the movable wing of the main winning tool is in the second state, the inclined surface of the movable wing is provided separately from the winning of the ball to the main winning tool. This is achieved by making it possible for even a ball that bounces off the ground to enter a prize into the auxiliary prize winning device.

The locking recess 24 fits into the locking protrusion 23 and cannot rotate, and the locking recess 24 fits into the locking protrusion 23.
It is possible to take a state in which it can be rotated by detaching from the shaft. Note that the rotating body 2 is constructed in a balanced manner so that one side is slightly heavier with respect to its center of rotation.

On the other hand, inside the back box 27 provided on the back surface of the board 1,
A rotatable rotary plate 28 is provided around the shaft pin 29 as an operating mechanism. The rotating plate 28 has a T-shaped cross section, and is in an inverted position as shown in FIG. 2 in the second state in which the rotating body 2 easily receives a batted ball, and when viewed in this inverted position, The rotating plate 28 includes a central plate-like part 30 extending from the central part through which the shaft pin 29 passes toward the winning opening 9 side, an upper plate-like part 31 and a lower plate-like part 3 extending upward and downward at right angles from the center plate-like part 30.
It consists of 2. A weight 33 (FIG. 3) is embedded in the lower plate-like portion 32 of the rotating plate 28 on one side of the shaft pin 29 in the axial direction, giving it a clockwise rotational habit as seen in FIG. . The lower plate-shaped portion 32 of the rotating plate 28 has an interlocking rod 36B attached to the shaft pin 29 for operating the rotating plate 28 with another drive source or interlocking the operation of the rotating plate 28 with another mechanism. They are protruded in parallel. Inside the back box 27, a stop rod 34 is provided as a stopper for determining the range of rotation of the rotary plate 28 so as to pass between the plate portions 30 and 31 in parallel with the shaft pin 29. Therefore, the rotating plate 28
As shown in the figure, the lower plate-shaped portion 32 is connected to the stop rod 3.
4 and the center plate-like part 30 is in a horizontal position that almost coincides with the lower edge of the opening of the winning hole 9, and the center plate-like part 3
0 comes into contact with the stop rod 34, and the upper plate-shaped part 31 can rotate alternately between an inverted position where the upper plate-like part 31 substantially coincides with the lower edge of the opening of the prize opening 9. Rotating plate 28
When viewed in an inverted position, the lower ends of the opposing surfaces of the lower plate-shaped part 32 and the back box 27 are formed with flange parts that project inwardly from each other, and both flange parts hold the winning ball. It constitutes a passage for flowing down toward the outlet 35. 36A is an interlocking hole for guiding the winning ball into this passage from another route.

The rotating body 2 fitted into the locking protrusion 23 of the board 1 is lifted from this, and the rotating body 2 is reversed 180 degrees.
In order to enable the movement of fitting into the locking protrusion 23 again, the central plate-like part 30 and the upper plate-like part 31 of the rotating plate 28 are provided with permanent magnets 37 and 3 at their tips, respectively.
8 is buried. and two permanent magnets 37,
The polarity of the magnet 38 is such that the magnetic poles at both ends of the permanent magnet 37 and the magnetic poles at both ends of the permanent magnet 38 have different polarities. In this embodiment, each of the permanent magnets 37 and 38 is a rod-shaped body whose both ends are located near the magnets 25 and 26 of the rotating body 2, and also functions as a weight.

Next, the reversing operation of the rotating body will be explained.

For convenience of explanation, the rotating plate 28 is in a horizontal position, that is, the permanent magnet 37 of the upper plate-like portion 31 of the rotating plate 28 is close to the rotating body 2, and the rotating body 2 is in a non-inverted position as shown in FIG. position, that is, the small socket 6 is at the top, and in this case, the rotating body 2
It is assumed that the magnets 25, 26 and the magnet 38 of the upper plate-shaped portion 31 have different polarities.

Now, when a batted ball enters the winning hole 9 from the small socket 6, the winning ball rides on the rotating plate 28 which is in a horizontal state.
It flows down from the upper plate-like part 31 to the lower plate-like part 32, rotates the rotating plate 28 clockwise in FIG. 2, and then flows out from the ball outlet 35. At this time, a winning ball detector (not shown) is activated, and the lamp indicator 15,
16 lights up. The rotating plate 28 is rotated approximately 90 degrees to be in an inverted state, and the central plate-shaped portion 30 is brought to the side of the rotating body 2, as shown in FIG. At this time, the permanent magnet 37 of the central plate-shaped portion 30 is connected to the magnets 25 and 2 of the rotating body 2.
6, the rotating body 2 slides on the shaft 5 and rises from the substrate 1 due to the magnetic repulsion between these magnets, and the concave portion 24 is disengaged from the protrusion 23, and the rotating body 2 is rotated on one side. , that is, rotate to the heavier side. The rotating body 2 rotates and the magnet 25 of the rotating body 2,
26 has a different polarity from the permanent magnet 37 of the central plate-shaped portion 30, a magnetic attraction force is exerted between these magnets, so the rotating body 2 continues to rotate 180 degrees,
The locking recess 24 fits into the locking protrusion 23 and becomes stationary. In this way, the rotating body 2 is turned over 180 degrees vertically.

As already mentioned, when a batted ball enters the winning hole 9 from the small socket 6 and the movable wings 7 and 8 are converted to the second state in which they can easily accept the batted ball, the winning ball detector (not shown) This winning ball is detected and the lamp indicators 15 and 16 light up. This lamp indicator 15,
16 can be configured arbitrarily. In this example, the fourth
As shown in the figure, a lamp 41 attached to a lamp board 40 and disposed within a colored translucent member 42 is lit.

When the rotating body 2 reaches the inverted position, the movable blades 7 and 8, which were originally tilted outward in a slightly flared state as shown in FIG. It opens to form a large socket, and its stop claw stops the small socket 6 at a position where it abuts against the frame 6A.

When a batted ball enters the large socket of the rotating body 2 in the reverse position, the winning ball passes through the main winning slot 9 and enters the central plate-shaped part 30.
Climb onto the top and rotate the rotating plate 28 counterclockwise as seen in FIG. The permanent magnet 37 moves away from the rotating body 2, and the permanent magnet 38 approaches the rotating body 2 instead. Therefore, the rotating body 2 rotates from the inverted position to the non-inverted position in the same manner as described above regarding the case where the permanent magnet 37 approaches.

In this way, the rotating body 2 repeats a 180 degree reversal action every time there is a winning ball.

Next, a description will be given of the direction of flight of the ball to the central rotary body 2 and the auxiliary prize winning tools 3 and 4 on both sides thereof.

When the rotating body 2 is in the non-reversing position shown in FIG. 1a, the ball that comes outside the winning area of the small socket 6 is simply connected to the rotating body 2 and the auxiliary prize winning area, as shown by the broken line in FIG. 1a. It simply flows downward between the tools 3 and 4.
However, when the rotating body 2 reaches the inverted position shown in FIG. 1b, the movable blades 7 and 8 open and enter a second state in which they can easily receive the ball projecting outward, and the bent portions 7A and 8A at the tips thereof are slopes that slope downward to the left and downward to the right. For this reason, among the balls that are outside the winning area of the large socket, which is determined between the tips of the bending parts 7A and 8A,
The ball that hits the slope of the bending portions 7A, 8A bounces off the slope, changes its direction of flight, and heads toward the auxiliary prize winning tools 3, 4, as shown by the broken line in FIG. 1b.

The auxiliary prize openings 12 and 13 are located at a distance laterally than the movable wings 7 and 8 in the second state.
In addition, the receiving opening for the auxiliary prize winning tools 3 and 4, that is, the guide frame 1
The openings formed at 3 and 14 are also located laterally apart from the movable blades 7 and 8 in the second state, but the size and position of the receiving openings are different from the bent portions 7A and 8A here. The ball is designed to receive most of the balls that bounce back from the slope. Therefore,
Most of the balls that hit the inclined surfaces of the bending parts 7A and 8A enter the auxiliary winning devices 3 and 4 and become winning balls.
You will be guided to the auxiliary prize openings 11 and 12.

On the other hand, the ball that does not hit the inclined surfaces of the bent portions 7A and 8A simply flows downward.

As described above, in the batted ball winning device of the present invention, the movable blade 7 in the second state that can easily receive the batted ball from the rotating body 2,
Even if the ball is a falling ball that is slightly outside the winning area of 8, the ball that hits the slopes of the bending parts 7A and 8A bounces back to the side and becomes a winning ball, which is unexpected for the player. To make the game more interesting and satisfying.

5-7 show another embodiment of the present invention, in which the same components as in the embodiment of FIGS. 1-4 are given the same reference numerals. The difference from the embodiment shown in FIGS. 1 to 4 is that the main winning tool 43 located at the center of the board 1 is not inverted 180 degrees, and the main winning tool 43 has two movable wings 44, 45 that can be opened and closed.
It is an ordinary chulip-type winning device with a

In FIG. 5, each movable wing 44 of the main prize winning tool 43,
45 is a shaft 4 provided between the substrate 1 and the front plate 46.
It is rotatably attached to 7, 48, and always
It has an outward rotational habit. Therefore, if left as it is, it will open outward until it comes into contact with a stopper (not shown), and as shown by the broken line in FIG. 5, it will be in the second state where it can easily receive the ball, forming a large socket. but,
When the tip of the rotating plate 50 as an operating mechanism to be described later is located between the rear arms of the movable wings 44 and 45,
When it comes into contact with the side surface of the rotary plate 50, it enters a first state in which it is difficult to receive a batted ball, as shown by the solid line in FIG. 5, and forms a small socket. According to the present invention, movable wings 44, 45
At the tip of the movable blades 44 and 45 in the second state, there is a bent part 4 which exhibits an inclined surface downward to the left and downward to the right.
4A and 45A are provided. In this embodiment, the outer surfaces of the bent portions 44A and 45A are formed flat. The bent portions 44A, 45A have the same function as the bent portions 7, 8 described above with reference to FIG. 1b. That is, when the movable wings 44 and 45 are in the second state,
Of the balls that missed the winning area of the large socket determined between the tips of the bent parts 44A and 45A, the bent parts 44A and 4
When the ball hits the slope of 5A, as shown by the broken line, the auxiliary prize winning device, 4, is located at a distance from the side.
so that it can bounce in the direction of Bending part 44
Most of the balls that hit the slope of A, 45A are
The winning balls of the auxiliary winning tools 3 and 4, and those that did not hit the inclined surfaces of the bending parts 44A and 45A, are:
It simply flows downward.

In FIGS. 6 and 7, the rotating plate 50 is connected to the substrate 1.
It is rotatably mounted in the back box 49 by a shaft 51, and its tip faces into an opening 52 provided in the board 1 as a main prize opening. Two protrusions 50A are juxtaposed at the tip of the rotating plate 50, and an inclined surface 50B for ejecting balls is formed at the rear of the rotating plate 50. Reference numeral 53 is a connecting rod for operating the rotating plate 50 with another drive source or interlocking the operation of the rotating plate 50 with another mechanism. Further, on the front side of the shaft 51, a notch 50 is provided on one side of the rotating plate 50.
C is provided. On the other hand, inside the back box 49, a lock lever 54 having a rotation center axis 55 is provided above the rotation plate 50. This locking lever 54 is

A protrusion 57 that engages with a notch 50C of the rotation plate 50 is provided in the middle of the rotation plate 4A. The locking lever 54 as a whole is urged toward the opening 52 by the action of the weight 56, as shown in FIG. It's located right below. Movable wings 44, 4
5 is closed, the protrusion 57 of the locking lever 54 is connected to the notch 50C of the rotating plate 50 and the seventh
As shown in the figure, they are engaged, and as a result, the rotating plate 50 is slightly tilted diagonally rearward as shown in FIG.

Now, suppose that a ball hits the small socket between the movable wings 44 and 45 in the first state. This winning ball is rotating plate 5
0 to the inclined surface 50B rearward from the shaft 51, and the rotary plate 50 is rotated clockwise as shown by the solid line in FIG. As a result, the edge of the notch 50C of the rotating plate 50 moves over the protrusion 57 of the locking lever 54 to the opposite side, and is locked in that position.
Since the tip of the rotary plate 50, which had previously restricted the movable wings 44, 45 to the first state, moves upward, the movable wings 44, 45 become in the second state, opening to both sides, and reach the position shown by the broken line in FIG. 5. . The winning balls flow out from the rear inclined surface 50B of the rotating plate 50.

Next, assume that a ball hits the large socket between the movable wings 44 and 45 in the second state. This winning ball then once rides on the tip 58 of the locking lever 54, rotates the lever 54 counterclockwise in FIG. 6, and then falls downward. The locking lever 54 is the seventh
In the figure, since it rotates to the left about the shaft 55, the protrusion 57 comes off from the notch 50C of the rotation plate 50, and the rear end 59 of the locking lever 54 moves the rear end of the rotation plate 50 downward. Since it is pushed up from
0 rotates counterclockwise in FIG. At this time, the tip portion 50A of the rotary plate 50 comes into contact with the lower arm of the movable wings 44, 45 and presses it down, so that the movable wings 44, 45 move to the first position shown by the solid line in FIG. Return to state.

In this way, the movable wings 44, 45 repeat the opening and closing operations every time there is one winning ball. In this case, the movable wings 44 and 45 are arranged so that the rotating plate 50 is attached to the locking lever 54.
Since it is locked in the upper or lower position, it is stably held in the first state or the second state.

In the above embodiment, one auxiliary winning tool 3, 4 is provided on each side of the main winning tool 2, 43, but the auxiliary winning tool 3, 4 may be provided only on one side of the main winning tool 2, 43, or A plurality of them can be provided on one side.

As mentioned above, the batted ball winning device of the present invention is
The received winning ball activates the operating mechanism, making it difficult to accept or not accepting the batted ball.
A main prize-winning tool equipped with a movable wing that can be converted into a second state in which it is easy to accept a batted ball is disposed on a substrate, and at least one side of the main prize-winning tool is provided with a space laterally than the movable wing in the second state. is placed, and an auxiliary winning device is provided with an auxiliary winning opening through which a batted ball can enter a prize, and the movable wing of the main winning device has an inclined surface that faces outward and downward when the movable wing is in the second state. The auxiliary winning tool is provided with a guide frame formed on the tip of the auxiliary winning tool to guide the batted ball that bounces off the inclined surface to the auxiliary winning opening to become a winning ball, so that the movable wings of the main winning tool are in the second state. In this case, in addition to winning the ball that hits the main winning tool, it is also possible to win the ball that bounces off the slope of the movable wing to the auxiliary winning tool. It is surprising that a ball hit slightly outside the winning area of the movable wing can become a winning ball only in the second state where it is easy to accept. Therefore, the batted ball winning device of the present invention has a higher impact on the game compared to the conventional batted ball winning device in which even a ball that slightly deviates from the winning area of the movable blade in the second state has no choice but to become a non-winning ball for the winning device. For the player, the winning area of the ball is selectively expanded, making the game extremely interesting and satisfying.

In addition, since the falling batted ball is bounced off the slope to win a prize, it is easy for the player to understand the winning status and the expectation of winning a prize is heightened.
