Abstract

PURPOSE:To stop the discharge operation in the case a game ball is not taken in by providing a first and a second ball detectors in the vicinity of a prize- winning ball take-in port and a prize-winning ball passage, operating a take-in device by a detecting signal of a first detector, and operating a ball feeding device by a detecting signal of a second detector. CONSTITUTION:When a game ball (seal ball) is discharged from a discharge device, a prize-winning ball in a pan 7 is taken into a take-in device 15. In that case, when a first ball detector 19 detects the prize-winning ball taken into through a prize-winning ball take-in port 12, a controller operates the take-in device 15 in accordance with its detecting signal, and the prize-winning ball is led into a prize-winning ball passage 16 from the prize-winning ball take-in port 12. In this case, when a second ball detector 20 detects the prize- winning ball, the controller operates a ball feeding device, and the next game ball (seal ball) is supplied to the discharge device. Unless both of a first ball detector and a second ball detector output the detecting signal, the controller does not operate the ball feeding device, therefore, in the case take-in of the game ball is in a bad condition, the game ball is not supplied to the discharge device, and an erroneous discharge is prevented.

[Function] In the pinball game machine of the present invention, when the game ball f (enclosed ball) is fired from the firing device, the prize ball in the saucer is taken into the taking device. At that time, when the first ball detector detects a prize ball taken in through the prize ball intake port, the control device operates the intake device according to the detection signal, and the prize ball is taken in by the first ball detector. The ball is introduced into the prize ball passage through the intake port. When the second ball detector detects a prize ball, the control device operates the ball throwing device to supply the primary game ball (enclosed ball) to the shooting device.

Thus, the next firing operation can be performed. The control device does not operate the ball throwing device unless both the first ball detector and the second ball detector output detection signals, so if the ball is not being captured properly, the ball is not in the shooting device. This prevents accidental firing.

In the present invention, when the first ball detector and the taking-in device are arranged in a position close to the prize ball intake port, and the second ball detector is arranged at the entrance of the prize ball passage, the ball is taken in from the receiving tray. Since it is possible to quickly detect the prize ball that has been thrown and operate the ball throwing device, it is possible to shoot the game ball almost simultaneously with the taking in of the prize ball, making the operation more realistic. The winning balls are also reliably captured one by one.

Furthermore, by configuring the intake device with the ball locking member and the solenoid, the ball locking member can rotate from the first stop position to the second stop position, and from the second stop position again to the first stop position. Since the prize balls are introduced into the prize ball path one by one while rotating to the stop position, the prize balls are reliably taken in.

As a result, when the reciprocating solenoid 26 is energized, the plunger that moves against the spring 26a moves the ball locking member 22 from the first stop position to the second stop position via the transmission member 27 and the transmission shaft 25. When the ball locking member 22 is rotated to the position and the energization is released, the ball locking member 22 is returned to its original position by the restoring force of the spring 26a, and the ball locking member 22 is rotated from the second stop position to the first stop position. Thus, the ball locking member 22 can perform the same operation as when using the rotary solenoid 23 described above.

At the time when the last ball in the saucer 7 is taken in, there is still a signal to fire two balls, so if the firing handle 9 is continuously operated, the ball can be fired twice. Also, even if you stop firing halfway and stop operating the handle to move to another pachinko machine, you can still fire two shots. In this case, since the throwing solenoid 36 is actuated at the same time as the last shot before abort, one of the remaining two shots actually remains in the firing position, and the other shot is stored in the controller 70. There is. Therefore, by operating the handle 9 again after removing all the balls from the saucer 7, the ball can be fired twice.
