Description

[Detailed description of the invention] This invention has a pair of movable blades pivotably supported on both sides of the front surface of the ball inlet formed on the mounting plate so as to be able to stand up and tilt freely.
A guide box that matches the rear side of the ball inlet is installed on the rear surface of the mounting plate, and an operating member is pivotally supported inside the guide box so that the upright and tilting of the movable blades is caused by the falling of the ball. This invention relates to a ball receiving device for a pachinko machine.

This type of ball receiving device, commonly known as a chulip, guides the ball that has entered between the upright movable blades from the ball inlet to the upper surface of the rear end of the operating member, and uses the weight of the ball to move the operating member. In addition to tilting the movable wing by lowering the rear end and flipping up the front end, the ball that enters the other prize opening is guided to the upper surface of the rear end of the operating member by a guide gutter provided on the back side of the game board, causing the movable wing to move. The top surface of the guide box is open so that it can be tilted.

Therefore, conventionally, when this ball receiving device is used alone without being associated with other winning holes, the balls that enter from the winning hole located above the ball receiving device fall onto the open top surface of the guide box. In order to prevent this, protruding walls are attached to the back side of the game board using screws, etc., and not only is this work cumbersome and time-consuming, but the protruding walls get in the way, making it extremely difficult to use the back side of the game board effectively. It was. In particular, there has recently been a tendency for large special electric winning ball devices to be installed approximately in the center of the game board, which requires a large installation space on the back side of the game board, and a solution to this problem is strongly desired.

In consideration of rotation, the present invention is designed so that a cover body that closes the open upper surface of the guide box is removably attached to the open upper surface of the guide box, so that the ball receptacle can be used independently without having to provide a protruding wall on the back side of the game board. At the same time, by removing the cover body, it is also possible to use it in connection with other winning openings as before without any problems.

An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. In the figure, 1 is a mounting plate with a ball inlet 2 formed in the center, 3, 3 is a pair of movable wing pieces that are freely supported on both sides of the front side of the ball inlet 2 in a parallel upright and inverted figure-eight shape, and 4 is a mounting plate with a ball inlet 2 formed in the center. A chatter fixed to the mounting plate 1, covering both the front and lower sides of the movable wing pieces 3, 3;
Reference numeral 5 indicates a guide box attached to the rear surface of the mounting plate 1 in alignment with the rear side of the ball inlet 2. As is well known, in the guide box 5, an actuating member 6 for seesaw operation is pivotally supported by a horizontal shaft 7 so that the front end portion made heavy can intervene between the pair of movable blades 3, 3. .
8 is a magnet fixed to the lower surface of the rear end of the actuating member 6;
Reference numeral 9 designates a magnetic rod horizontally suspended at the rear lower part of the guide box 5 to attract the magnet 8, and reference numeral 10 designates a ball receiving piece extending from the front lower part of the operating member 6.

The ball receiving device having the above-mentioned structure is well known, and as shown in FIG. 4, the mounting plate 1 is attached to the game board a
The guide box 5 is used with its open top surface protruding from the rear surface of the game board a. When the movable blades 3, 3 are upright, the front end of the actuating member 6 intervenes between the movable blades 3, 3 to maintain the upright position, as shown by the solid line in FIG. When a ball enters between the blades 3, 3, it flows backward from the ball inlet 2 on the upper surface of the actuating member 6, and the weight of the ball lowers the rear end as shown by the chain line in the figure and flips up the front end, causing the movable blades 3, 3 to move. Tilt it in an inverted figure-eight shape. In addition, when the ball enters between the movable blades 3 and 3 in this state, the ball rides on the ball receiving piece 10 while raising the movable blades 3 and 3, and the weight of the ball lowers the front end of the actuating member 6, as shown in FIG. The state is returned to the original state shown by the solid line, and the movable blades 3, 3 are repeatedly raised and tilted in this way by the falling of the ball. In addition, when the movable wing pieces 3, 3 are upright, the balls that have entered the winning hole provided above the ball receiver are sent to the open upper surface of the guide box 5 by the guide gutter on the back side of the game board a. The weight of the ball lowers the rear end of the actuating member 6, making it possible to tilt the movable blades 3, 3 in an inverted figure-eight shape.

Therefore, in the present invention, as shown in FIG. 2, the box-shaped cover body 12 is opened at the front and lower part, and locking arm pieces 11, 11 are provided on both sides that protrude forward.
This cover body 12 is detachably attached to the open upper surface of the guide box 5 so that the open upper surface can be closed.

The cover body 12 has a protruding portion 13 formed approximately in the upper half of the inner surface of the locking arm pieces 11, 11.
ribs 14 formed on the outer surfaces of both side walls of the guide box 5,
14, the cover body 12 is correctly positioned on the open upper surface thereof, and furthermore, by engaging the claw piece 15 protruding from the rear lower edge of the cover body 12 with the inner edge of the rear end of the open upper surface. It is firmly attached and held on the open upper surface of the guide box 5.

Therefore, according to the present invention, by attaching the cover body 12 to the open upper surface of the guide box 5, the balls entered from the other winning opening provided at the upper position of the hit ball receiver can be This device can reliably prevent the game board from falling into the game board, and can be used alone without the need to install a protruding wall on the back side of the game board as in the past. It can also be used in conjunction with the winning opening without any problems.

When used alone, there is no need to install a protruding wall on the back side of the game board, which simplifies the assembly work of the pachinko machine. It can be used.
