Description

[Detailed description of the invention] <Industrial field of application> The invention is capable of converting from a first state in which the movable ball receiving piece is upright to a second state in which the upper end of the movable ball receiving piece is tipped over to easily receive a batted ball. Regarding a batted ball winning device.

<Prior Art> As is well known, one of the real pleasures of pachinko games is to convert the batted ball winning device into a state where it is easy for balls to enter, and to win a large number of batted balls. However, the ball winning device only changes the receiving state of the ball by changing the static angle of the ball receiving movable piece. For this reason, the player may be distracted by the whereabouts of the shot ball and may overlook that the ball winning device has converted the ball into a state where it is easier to accept the ball, and the player often notices this only after shooting several balls. In such a case, the player loses interest in the game. In order to cope with this problem, a pachinko machine is disclosed in Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 14064/1983, in which the conversion status of the batted ball winning device is displayed by a display lamp.

<Problem to be solved by the invention> However, the pachinko machine disclosed in the above-mentioned Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 14064/1984 cannot be used only when the detection switch for changing the movable piece of the batted ball winning device detects a winning ball. In addition, the display lamp lights up or flashes even when an operating switch located on the prize ball collection gutter, prize ball controller, etc. detects a winning ball. That is, the display lamp does not only display the state of the movable piece of the batted ball winning device, but also displays depending on other factors, such as winning a prize with another winning device. Therefore, the player cannot reliably recognize the changing state of the batted ball winning device based on the display of the display lamp.

In addition, in order to display the winning status of the batted ball winning device to the player, a complex electric circuit consisting of a detection switch, relay, relay switch, stepping relay, etc. is used, and multiple display lamps are lit by the operation of the electric circuit. Or blinking. For this reason, specialized knowledge is required to repair the electrical circuit when it breaks down, making it virtually impossible to repair it at a game arcade, and in the event of a breakdown, the entire electrical circuit must be replaced. , it takes a lot of time to replace it, and the cost of parts is also high.

<Means for Solving the Problems> The present invention was proposed in view of the above, and aims to reliably display the state of the ball receiver movable piece of the batted ball winning device to the player without using a complicated component configuration.
A movable ball receiving piece is rotatably provided on the front side of the board that is attached to the surface of the game board, and a swinging member is pivoted within a guide frame provided on the back side of the board, and the swinging member is opened and swings. In the ball winning device, the ball receiving movable piece is turned from a first upright state to a second state in which the upper end of the ball receiving movable piece is tipped over to easily receive a batted ball. A detection function member is provided in the guide frame, a detection unit is provided in a portion of the guide frame corresponding to the detection function member, and the detection unit is electrically connected to the light emitting source, and by opening the swing member, While converting the ball receiver movable piece from the first state to the second state, the detection action member acts on the detection section to detect the second state of the ball receiver movable piece by the detection section, thereby detecting the light emitting source. The present invention is characterized in that it visually displays that the ball receiving movable piece has been converted to the second state by light.

<Operation> The batted ball winning device converts the ball receiving movable piece into a first state in which it is upright, and a second state in which the ball receiving movable piece is inverted and easily receives a batted ball.

When a pachinko ball flowing down the game board enters the ball winning device in the first state, the pachinko ball swings open the swinging member in the guide frame provided on the back side of the board, causing the ball receiving movable piece to move into the first state. Convert to 2 states.

At this time, the detection effect member provided on the swinging member acts on the detection section provided on the guide frame, and the light from the light source notifies the player that the ball receiver movable piece has been converted to the second state.

When a pachinko ball wins again in the ball winning device in which the ball receiving movable piece has been changed to the second state, the ball receiving movable piece is changed to the first state by the swinging of the swinging member.

When the ball receiver movable piece returns to the first state, the detection action member no longer acts on the detection part, so the light emitting source stops emitting light, and the player is informed that the ball receiver movable piece has changed to the first state.

<Example> Hereinafter, the present invention will be explained based on the example shown in the drawings.

The ball winning device 1 shown in the drawing is a so-called chulip, and a first outlet 3 and a second outlet 4 are provided above and below on a base plate 2 attached to the game board surface of a pachinko machine. is the second outlet 4
A pocket 5 with an open top is provided to surround the pocket 5, and a movable ball receiving piece 6 projecting upward is pivotally mounted in the pocket 5. On the back side of the base plate 2, a tip is provided between both movable ball receiving pieces 6, 6. Guidance frame 8 pivoting the facing swinging member 7
Attach. An outward supporting plate 9 is extended from the lower end of the rear end surface of the guide frame 8, and a reed switch 10 is provided on the supporting plate 9 as a detecting section of an electrical detecting mechanism. On the other hand, a protrusion 11 is provided at the rear end of the swinging member 7 and extends to the outside through the vertically elongated opening 8' of the guide frame 8. On the lower surface of the protrusion 11, a detection action member of an electrical detection mechanism is provided. A permanent magnet 12 is attached as a permanent magnet.

The batted ball winning device 1 configured as described above has a lead when the ball receiving movable piece 6 is closed, the swinging member 7 is located almost horizontally, and the permanent magnet 12 and the reed switch 10 are in the first state with a sufficient distance from each other. The switch 10 receives only a slight magnetic force from the permanent magnet 12 and does not operate, so it is turned off.

When a hit ball wins in the first state, the hit ball passes through the first outlet 3 and moves on the swinging member 7, and when it is located near the rear end surface of the guide frame, the swinging member 7 It is caused to swing around the shaft 13 by the gravity of the guide frame 8, and is discharged from the discharge port 14 provided on one side of the guide frame 8 to the back side of the game board. When the swinging member 7 swings, the tip portion 15 of the swinging member 7 moves between the two ball receiving movable pieces 6,
6 and opens both ball receiving movable pieces 6, 6 horizontally so as to convert them to the second state. When the swinging member 7 swings, the permanent magnet 12 provided on the protrusion 11 at the rearmost end of the swinging member 7 descends and approaches the reed switch 10. Swinging member 7
When the permanent magnet 12 is in the second state where it is tilted and stationary, the permanent magnet 12
is closest to the reed switch 10, and the permanent magnet 1
The magnetic force No. 2 acts on the lead 10' of the reed switch 10 and turns the reed switch 10 ON. When the reed switch 10 is turned on, in the embodiments shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, a light emitting source such as a lamp 17 attached to the upper part of the guide frame 8 passing through the game board lights up, causing the decorative lens 18 to shine. To visually display to a player that the batted ball winning device has changed to the second state. Therefore, the player can easily recognize the second state of the batted ball winning device by the easy-to-read lamp display on the game board surface without directly looking at the movable ball receiving piece 6 to confirm its state. can. Furthermore, if the reed switch 10 is electrically connected to a control room or a counter (not shown) provided in a pachinko machine, winning data of the batted ball winning device can be detected.

In addition, when the ball hits a prize in the second state where the ball receiving movable piece 6 is open, the ball passes through the gap between the front plate 5' of the pocket 5 and the tip 15 of the swinging member 7, and both ball receiving movable pieces 6 are opened. The lower part 6' of 6, 6 is pushed down to convert to the first state, and the liquid is discharged from the bottom of the pocket 5 through the second outlet 4 to the back side of the game board. The swinging member 7 returns to the substantially horizontal first state due to its own weight when the ball receiving movable piece 6 is changed to the first state by a ball being hit. At this time, the permanent magnet 12 rises and moves away from the reed switch 10, so that the reed 10' cannot receive sufficient magnetic force from the permanent magnet 12, and as a result, the reed switch 10 is turned off.

Incidentally, the detection section and the action member constituting the electrical detection mechanism are not limited to the above-described combination of the reed switch 10 and the permanent magnet 12. For example, if the switch mechanism is capable of electrically detecting the state of the ball winning device 1 based on the rest position of the swinging member 7, a photoelectric conversion switch, a light shielding plate, a magnetic proximity switch, etc. may be used. Good too. Further, the mounting positions of the detection section, the detection action member, and the swinging member can be changed as appropriate depending on the structure of the batted ball winning device. For example, as shown in FIG. 5, a detection section is fixed to one side of the guide frame 8 opposite to the discharge port 14, and the detection action member 12 facing the detection section is extended from the side end of the swinging member 7. It may be fixed to the protrusion.

<Effects of the Invention> As explained above, according to the present invention, a detection action member is provided at a predetermined portion of the swinging member located on the back side of the board, and a detection action member is provided at a portion of the guide frame corresponding to the detection action member. A portion is provided, the detection portion is electrically connected to the light emitting source, and the ball receiver movable piece is converted from the first state to the second state by the swinging opening of the swinging member, and the detection action member is acts on the detecting section, the detecting section detects the second state of the movable ball receiving piece, and visually indicates that the movable ball receiving piece has been converted to the second state by the light from the light emitting source. There is.

Therefore, the circuit for detecting that the movable ball receiving piece has entered the second state consists only of the detection action member that swings directly into the open position and the detection section that detects this swinging detection action member. Since the light emitting source is controlled without using a complicated electric circuit including electric parts, this control is reliable and does not malfunction, and failures of the electric circuit almost never occur. In addition, even if an electrical part breaks down, only the detection part needs to be replaced, and no specialized knowledge is required to replace the part, so parts can be easily replaced at game arcades, and parts costs are low. It's over.

In addition, the light emitting source always emits light when the movable ball receiving piece changes to the second state in which it can easily receive a batted ball, and actively informs the player that it has entered the second state. Since no light is emitted, the player can reliably recognize the changing state of the batted ball winning device by the light from the light emitting source.
