Normally, it is held stationary in a hanging state with the entrances of both first passageways 27, 27 open and the entrance of the second passageway 28 closed, and when it receives an impact from a ball, it is affected by the force and direction of the impact. Correspondingly, it freely oscillates to the left or right and the second
The passageway 28 is opened. Reference numeral 36 denotes a lid attached to the frame 26, and an outlet 37 for each first passageway 27 is formed on both sides of its lower edge. 38 is a detection switch fixed at the bottom of the lid 36, and its detection piece 39

At a predetermined time (for example, after the activation time of the electromagnetic solenoid 52 described later), the detection piece 39
Suppose that the control is set so that it will not turn on even if it is pressed by the next safe ball.

In the opening/closing winning part C, a winning state of the hit ball is established in response to the occurrence of the lucky safe ball described above, and a pair of left and right opening/closing wings 40, 40 are slidably provided on both sides of the upper part of the lower winning opening 5. It is arranged and connected to the electromagnetic solenoid 51 on the back side of the container 1. That is, both opening/closing wings 40, 40 both form oblique guide surfaces 41 on their upper surfaces, and are individually connected to respective levers 47 operated by solenoids 51, and guide means on each side. By utilizing this, the container body 1 can be smoothly slid in the inner and outer directions over a predetermined stroke. Note that each opening/closing wing 40 has a front plate 42 having a decorative surface on its front surface. Further, regarding the guide means on each side, a pin 43 fixedly supported at the center of the opening/closing wing 40, a long hole 44 formed in the base plate 2 of the vessel body 1, a rail rod portion 45 of the opening/closing wing 40, and the base plate 2 A rail 46 protruding from the front is used. The levers 47 on each side are supported by corresponding shafts 48 fixedly supported on both sides of the frame 26 and hang down, and their lower ends are connected to the respective opening/closing wings 40 through elongated holes 49 and pins 43. are connected via. Note that an arm 50 is integrally formed at the upper end of each lever 47. 51 indicates a spring.

On the other hand, the electromagnetic solenoid 52 is mounted on a supporting frame 54 screwed to the lid 36 on the back side of the frame 26, and an operating rod 5 is attached to the upper end of a vertical rod 53.
5 are connected horizontally, and the arms 50 of the levers 47 on each side are connected to the elongated holes 5 at each end of the operating rod 55.
6. They are connected via pins 57. This solenoid 52 is connected to the detection switch 38.
When turned on, it is energized and excited for a predetermined time under appropriate operating conditions. The solenoid 52 is connected to a common control circuit (not shown) together with the solenoid 20 and the switch 38. Incidentally, in such an opening/closing winning section C, both opening/closing wings 40, 40 are normally kept in a closed state recessed inside the vessel body 1, and the solenoid 51 is
As the ball is operated, a portion of the ball is extended outside the device, and the ball is temporarily held in an open state in which it can receive a ball.
However, both opening and closing wings 40, 40 are opposed to each other with a passage R through which a ball can pass between their inner end surfaces in the closed state.

The movement of the apparatus of this example configured as described above and the accompanying prize-winning manner of the batted ball will be explained.
In other words, when a ball hit on the game surface enters the upper prize hole 3, the detection switch is turned on.
In response to this, in the lifting/lowering prize section A, the electromagnetic solenoid 20 is energized and the lifting body 12 is lowered according to the upward movement of the rod 21 and the tilting of the operating rod 16, and continues for the operating time of the solenoid 20. The regulation guide wings 24, 2 are held in the open position.
The four spaces are opened and a state where it is easy to win a prize by hitting a ball is established. In such a state, each port 9, 10 on both sides of the vessel body 1
The batted balls that fly toward the elevating body 12 enter the corresponding side prize opening 4 along each inclined guide surface 13, and all the balls pass into the frame 26 in the guide part B on the back side of the vessel body 1. do. Note that the elevating body 12 is returned to its original closed state and maintained as a result of demagnetization (time-up) of the solenoid 20.

Then, as described above, all the balls that have passed into the guide section B are treated as safe balls by the guide element 33. That is, as illustrated in FIG. 9, the respective balls passing through the left and right side prize openings 4, 4 once contact the left and right sides of the guide 33, respectively, and the guide 33 swings freely to the left or right depending on the impact force of the ball from each direction and opens the entrance of the second outlet 28. As a result, the ball is

7 or 28, and then the first exit road 2.
The ball on the 7 side is normally considered a safe ball and flows out from the outlet 37 to the outside of the vessel, while the ball on the second outlet path 28 side is pushed past the detection piece 39 of the detection switch 38 and is discharged from the discharge gutter 7 to the outside of the vessel. It is leaked to the back side. Incidentally, in the above-mentioned ball guiding process, if the ball contacts the guide element 33 with a relatively small impact force, it will move toward the first passageway 27 side, and if it contacts the guide element 33 with a relatively large impact force, it will move toward the first passageway 27 side. There is a tendency for each to pass through to the second outlet portion 28 side. Note that when the balls from the left and right abut on each side of the guide 33 simultaneously, the guide 33 receives the impact force from both and is held in the hanging position with almost no swinging. Therefore, the balls on both sides are
are guided on each side of the respective first outlet passages 27, 2.
7, and jamming in the frame 26 is always avoided.

As described above, while the ball is processed in the guide section B, the opening/closing winning section C utilizes the operation of the detection switch 38 and the electromagnetic solenoid 52 to establish a state in which it is easy to win a hit ball. That is, the switch 38
teeth. The detection piece 39 is the second outlet passage 2 of the frame 26.
When pressed by a ball passing through 8 (however, the first ball when the switch 38 is movable), it turns ON and detects that ball as a lucky safe ball. This switch 3
In response to the detection operation of step 8, the solenoid 52 is energized and moved down the operating rod 55 together with the rod 53, and as a result, the levers 47, 47 on both sides
tilt outward synchronously. As a result, both the opening and closing wings 40, 40 are both moved outward and held in the expanded state for a while. In such a state, both opening/closing wings 40, 40 can effectively receive a large number of balls that pass through both outer sides of the vessel body 1, and promptly introduce the received balls to the lower prize opening 5 via the guide surface 41. It is possible. Thereafter, the ball is passed through the discharge gutter 7 to the outside of the container and becomes a normal safe ball.

In addition, in the opening/closing prize part C, when the detection switch 38 is in the detection movable state (that is, the electromagnetic solenoid 52
During this period (when the solenoid 52 in operation)
Even if some of the balls processed by the guide section B pass through the second outlet passage 28, the switch 38 does not actually operate to detect it, and therefore, after the solenoid 52 is demagnetized, the opening/closing blades 40, 40 are opened again. This is an example of something that will never happen. However, it is of course possible to store all the balls passing through the second outlet passage 28 as lucky safe balls and operate the solenoid 52 based on this. In addition, if a ball is hit just before the opening/closing wings 40, 40 return to their closed positions, the ball can be introduced into the lower prize opening 5 by using the path R tilted between the inner end surfaces of the wings, so that the winning part Ball clogging at C can be solved beforehand.

[Example of change]

It should be noted that appropriate modification techniques are proposed for the prize-winning device of the illustrated embodiment. For example, the operations of both the lifting/lowering winning section A and the opening/closing winning section C may be regulated alternately. To replace the elevating winning part A with a variable winning rate using the tilting opening and closing of a blade or with an unchanging winning rate using a pocket. Illustrated opening and closing prize part C,
Replacement with a variable winning rate method that utilizes the tilting of the blade or the raising and lowering of the door.

In any case, the winning device that is the object of this proposal has a winning section that is variable or unchangeable for the guide section B, and the winning device that is the object of the present invention has a variable winning section that is variable or unchangeable in the guide section B. Any device may be used as long as it has a configuration for opening the winning part to the hit ball winning state.

In this way, the winning device of the present invention receives a ball that is hit onto the game board surface and moves on the front of the device in the winning section, passes through the guide section on the back of the device, and then the ball hits the pendulum-shaped guide. Each time the guide element makes contact, it can freely swing in response to the impact and guide the ball to either the first or second exit path. The ball passing through one passageway can be treated as a normal safe sphere, and the ball passing through the other passageway can be detected and treated as a lucky safe sphere by the detection means. Therefore, in this device, the detection means is electrically connected to an electric operating member (for example, an electromagnetic solenoid or a motor) of an electric openable/closable prize section installed at a predetermined position on the game board. For example, when the detecting means is activated, that is, when a lucky safe ball is detected, the electrically operated opening/closing winning section can be opened to a state where it is easy to win a hit ball in response to the required operation of the electric operating member. As a result, new changes can be made to the winning conditions and manner of hitting balls in the pachinko machine, thereby making the game more interesting.

In particular, this device uses the free swinging of the guide to process the balls that have passed from the winning section into the guide section as described above, and the gamer is responsible for the occurrence of lucky safe balls. Since the game is completely based on luck beyond the control of the salesperson's will or the clerk's operation, it is possible to properly win the winnings of the batted ball and, in turn, to improve the quality of the game.
