Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] This invention relates to an improvement of a handheld ball box for a pachinko parlor that is used by players to store, organize, and move pachinko balls.

Pachinko parlors are equipped with a ball box that can hold an appropriate amount of pachinko balls, and players can receive the balls purchased from the ball dispenser, organize the prize balls accumulated in the pachinko machine's ball tray, and finish the game. It is used for carrying time prizes to settlement.

All four side walls of a conventional ball box are flat, and the edges of the opening are straight.

By the way, the ball tray of a pachinko machine is relatively shallow in structure and has a narrow protrusion to the outside of the machine.In order to pour the balls directly from the ball box into the ball tray, a small ball box with a long and narrow opening is used. This is done by tilting the ball box with the narrow open end facing down.

However, even with conventional small ball boxes, the end walls are flat as described above, so
As shown in Figure 2a, the balls A spread to the full width of the mouth and begin to spill out all at once, and the balls often fall out of the ball tray.

Therefore, the players place their hands on both sides of the ball box to guide the balls so that they do not fall out, which is somewhat inconvenient in terms of handling the balls.

This invention solves these problems, and embodiments of this invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

The ball box 1 of this invention consists of a bottom plate 2, both side walls 3 and an end wall 4 which stand up from the bottom plate 2 in a slanted manner outward toward an opening 5 which opens laterally in a long and narrow manner. It is shaped like a gutter with a depression from the inside to the outside.

Incidentally, an opening edge 6 formed around the opening 5 in an outwardly projecting shape is generally rectangular to match the conventional ball box.

In FIG. 1, the end wall 4 is formed to have an arcuate horizontal section, but it may also be polygonal as shown in FIG. 3.

This device is constructed as described above, and when using this device to transfer balls to the ball tray of a pachinko machine, the ball box 1 is tilted so that one end wall 4 is facing down. As shown in FIG. 2b, the flow of balls spilling out of the opening 5 shows a tendency to concentrate in the center, and does not spread laterally, but rather spills out only into the ball receiving tray at a fast speed.

Therefore, according to the ball box of this invention, balls can be taken in and out of the ball tray of a pachinko machine quickly and reliably, making handling of the balls convenient.
