Abstract

PURPOSE:To resolve a trouble that the balance of balls in an island collapses and satisfactorily perform the management of balls by fitting a mobile tank storing balls and having casters at the lower section communicatably to a counter and the island respectively. CONSTITUTION:Multiple downfall plates 11 inclined in opposite directions in turn are vertically provided in a tank C accessible to a case 8, and a receiving port 12 to be coupled with the tip port of a passage 2a is formed on the side face at the upper section of the tank C. A discharge port with a shutter 13 to be matched with the tip of a receiving trough 10 is formed on the side face at the lower section of the tank C, a transparent window type display device 4 through which the inside can be observed and having a scale is formed on the side face of the tank C, and a window 14 through which the display device 4 can be observed is formed on the side face of the case 8. When balls counted by a counter are returned into an island to a fixed level or above, the balls can be fed into the tank C by switching.

Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] "Industrial Application Field" The present invention provides a counter for a pachinko island that has a tank that can temporarily store balls numbered to 81 by a counter installed on a pachinko island. related to a tank mounting device.

[Prior Art] Conventionally, as seen in Japanese Patent Publication No. 62-2411.0, in a pachinko island equipped with a counter that can count pachinko balls and automatically issue receipts or cards,
The prizes acquired from the island were counted by a counter on the island, and the issued receipt or card was brought to a prize exchange office to be exchanged for a prize.

1-Problem to be solved by the invention] However, since the "J" obtained from the island is returned to the island through the counter, the balance of the balls on the island should be maintained, but in reality, the guests are free If you bring it to a counter on another island or to a counter on an empty place, the -IJ balance on the island will be disrupted.Also, if a particular island as a whole is performing well, customers may Although you have a lot of balls, the number of ball bells on that island will decrease, and the level of balls on the island will always fluctuate, increasing or decreasing, and in reality, the island will be at 1 (not enough). Moreover, when the number of balls on the island reaches a certain level, the counter will be stopped and the customer will have to take the balls to the counter on another island, which is inconvenient. It was exhibiting.

Means for Solving Problem 1] The present invention is devised to solve such problems and to appropriately manage balls using a tank. A mobile tank with casters at the bottom is constructed so that it can communicate with the counter and the inside of the island.

In addition, the tank can be put in and taken out from below the counter, and there is a switching passage below the counter that allows you to switch between the island and the tank, and the area below the counter is connected to the tank so that balls can be placed inside the island. It is equipped with a conveying device that can feed the balls, and the tank is equipped with a display device that allows the level of the balls to be seen from the outside.

1 Effect 1 Therefore, the +i"l number of tens will be returned to the island on the counter, but when the island reaches a certain level or higher, you can switch and put them in the tank.
In this state, when the number of balls on the island becomes low, the balls stored in the tank are supplied to the island, and the level of balls in the tank can be checked on the display device, so the level of balls on the island is abnormal. You can manage the balls by replacing the tank on the lower island with the full tank on another island.

1 Example] Next, the embodiment shown in the drawings will be described.

Δ indicates a pachinko island formed by arranging a large number of pachinko machines a and intermission ball rental machines 5 in two rows, and at the end of each pachinko island A arranged in the pachinko parlor, there is a 5" number display section. 6 or
A counter B that is equipped with a printer or a card reader/writer 7 that can automatically issue cards and that can count balls is installed in series, and a case 8 provided below the counter B has an opening/closing door 9 on the front side. is installed and configured,
The counter I3 can also be installed in the center of the pachinko island A.

A switching passage 2 hanging down from the counter B is provided in the second part of the inner side of the case 8, and the F part of the passage 2 is bifurcated, with one passage 2a facing inward of the case 8 and the other. The passage 2b extends along its edge toward the inner side of the island A, and a switching valve 2c is rotatably interposed in its two prongs, and a switch valve 2c is rotatably installed in the inner end of the case 8c. A lift-type conveying device 3 whose earth part communicates with the passage 2b is installed upright, and a receiving gutter 10 is extended from the F section of the device 3 toward the inside of the case 8.

Bow C shows a tank equipped with multiple casters 1 at the bottom,
Inside the tank C, which can be taken in and taken out of the case 8, a plurality of falling plates 11 are installed in the 1-downward direction, each tilting in opposite directions alternately.
A receiving pipe 12 is formed which can fit into the tip 11 of the passage 2a, and a discharge plate 12 having a shutter 13 is formed on the side surface of the lower part of the tank C, which can fit into the tip of the receiving gutter 10. In addition, on the side of the tank C, there is a transparent window type display device 4 that allows the inside to be seen through and has a scale etc.
In addition, a window 14 through which the display device 4 can be seen is formed on the side surface of the case 8.

In the figure, numeral 15 indicates a display section that displays the level of balls on the island.

Therefore, if the tank C is placed in the case 8 as shown in Fig. 1, the switching valve 2C will normally fall to the left in the figure, and the balls counted by the counter B will be returned to the island from the passage 2b. However, when the island reaches a certain level -1-, the switching valve 2c falls to the right as shown by the imaginary line, and with the Nyatta 13 closed, the balls counted by the counter B are transferred from the passage 2a. It will be supplied into the tank C and will be stored in the tank C.

In addition, the Nyatta 13 will be opened and closed manually or automatically, but in the case of an automatic type, when the level of ten on the island falls below a certain level, the shutter 13 will be automatically opened and the tank C
The dried balls inside are lifted and supplied to the island by the conveying device 3, and when the number of balls inside the island recovers to a certain level, the shutter 13 is closed.

In that state, the level of "is stored in tank C" can be confirmed by looking at the display device 4. This means that the tank C can be replaced with the tank C by opening the opening/closing door 9, taking it out, and moving it.

[Effects of the Invention] As described above, the present invention allows balls counted by the counter to be returned to the island, and when the island reaches a certain level, the balls can be switched and put into the tank, and the counter is returned to the island. Customers can conveniently perform h] number of balls without having to stop using it as in the past, and
When the number of kings on the island decreases, it will be possible to supply the [n] in the tank to the island, allowing for effective management of the 1 mi on the island.

In addition, the level of the balls in the tank can be accurately checked on the display device, and the tank on the island where the level is abnormally low on the island and the tank on the other island that is full (-) can be moved. This means that the balls at each seat can be effectively managed by replacing them while changing the balls, and the tank has the advantage of being able to be conveniently implemented with a simple removable structure that allows the tank to be freely taken out and put in under the counter.
