[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Application Field] The present invention relates to an auxiliary passage member that guides winning balls flowing on the back side of a game board in a pachinko machine.

[Prior Art] Recently, in order to increase the interest of pachinko games, the number of prize balls released has been changed depending on the winning location (Japanese Patent Application No. 1803-1983).
issue). The method will be explained with reference to FIG.

Attached to the back side of the game board 101 is a mechanism board 102 that consolidates functional parts such as a prize ball release device. The mechanism board 102 is a first winning ball collecting section 1 that is in direct contact with the game board 101 and collects normal winning balls.
03a, and a second winning ball collecting section 103b which is located outside the first winning ball collecting section 103a and collects specific winning balls. Both winning ball collecting parts 103a and 103b are connected to winning ball processing devices 104, respectively.
a, 104b. The winning ball processing devices 104a and 104b used here include a motor 1
Cams 106a, 106 rotate at a constant speed by
b, ball feeding arms 107a, 107b that are swing-driven by the cams 106a, 106b, and only when there is a winning ball at the tips of the ball feeding arms 107a, 107b, the ball feeding arm moves through the winning ball. It consists of a combination of swinging members 108a and 108b that swing when pressed by 107a and 107b. Then, prize ball cases (not shown) each discharging a different number of prize balls are connected to the upper ends of push rods 109a and 109b connected to one end of the swinging members 108a and 108b, respectively, so that two types of prize balls can be released. There is. For example, the first winning ball collecting section 103
"13" corresponding to a, second winning ball collection part 10
There are 7 pieces corresponding to 3b.

Therefore, in order to guide the winning balls that have entered a specific winning ball receiver provided on the front side of the game board 101 to the second winning ball collecting section 103b, the mechanism plate 1
A gutter was formed in a pair with 02, or a gutter was formed by nailing a metal strip plate directly to the game board 101.

[Problems to be solved by the invention] However, according to the above-mentioned conventional technology, the mechanism plate 1
If the gutter is formed integrally with 02, if the arrangement of the winning ball receptacle changes, it will be necessary to change the design of the mechanism plate 102 accordingly, resulting in high costs.

Furthermore, if the strip was nailed to the game board 101, the workability would be poor and the cost would be high.

[Means for Solving the Problems] Therefore, the present invention has a vertical passage section 15a that guides the winning balls flowing on the back side of the game board 5 downward, and a vertical passage section 15a that protrudes rearward from the bottom section 15b of the vertical passage section 15a to guide the winning balls. The problem arises by forming an auxiliary passage member 15 having an L-shaped side surface with the outflow part 15c that flows out to the second winning ball collecting part 13b, and attaching the auxiliary passage member 15 to the back surface of the game board 5. This is an attempt to resolve this issue.

[Function] When the vertical passage portion 15a of the auxiliary passage member 15 is attached to the game board 5 so as to correspond to the outlet 16 of the winning ball socket 7c, the winning balls that have entered the winning ball socket 7c will pass through the vertical passage. The ball passes through the part 15a, reaches the outflow part 15c, and flows out to the second winning ball collecting part 13b.

[Example] An example of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

The pachinko game machine 1 has a well-known structure, in which a glass frame 4 is pivotally attached to a window hole 3 formed in a front frame 2 so as to be freely openable and closable, and a game board 5 is attached to the back of the glass frame 4. A circular game section 5a is defined by extending a guide rail 6 between the sides. The gaming section 5a is provided with a large number of winning ball sockets 7, 7..., but these are the general winning ball sockets 7.
a, large winning ball receiver 7b, starting winning ball receiver 7
It is broadly classified into c. The relationship between the starting winning ball receiving device 7c and the large winning ball receiving device 7b is that the starting winning ball receiving device 7c
When the ball hits the prize, the internal switch SW is activated.
Turn on the variable display devices 8a to 8 in the center of the gaming section 5a.
The number c fluctuates randomly, and depending on the combination in the stopped state, the large winning ball socket 7b is opened for a predetermined time to make it easy to win a ball.

On the other hand, a mechanism plate 12 is attached to the back side of the game board 5, on which functional parts such as a ball tank 9, prize ball cases 10, 10, prize ball discharge gutter 11, etc. are integrated. The mechanism plate 12 forms a space in which balls can fall on a surface that faces the game board 5, and forms a space where balls can fall into the first winning ball collecting section 1.
3a is provided. Then, a gutter 14 is arranged in parallel on the outside of the first winning ball collecting section 13a along the lower side of the first winning ball collecting section 13a.
b is formed. These first and second winning ball collecting parts 13a and 13b are connected to a winning ball processing device (FIG. 5 104).
It is the same as the prior art in that the winning balls are processed by communicating with the balls (a and 104b), respectively.

Therefore, FIG. 3 shows the auxiliary passage member 15 of the present invention.
FIG. The auxiliary passage member 15 includes a vertical passage part 15a that guides the winning balls downward, and an outflow part 13c that projects rearward from the bottom part 15b of the vertical passage part 15a and causes the winning balls to flow out to the second winning ball collecting part 13b. The side surface is L-shaped. The vertical passage section 15a has a U-shaped planar cross section with the surface in contact with the game board 5 open, and has a depth that fits within the first winning ball collection section 13a, and its bottom 15b is located outside the game board 5. It is formed with a downward slope towards the direction. On the other hand, the outflow part 15c is in communication with the vertical passage part 15a, has a depth that is approximately the same as the width of the second winning ball collecting part 13b, and has a top surface of the second winning ball collecting part 13b. An outflow opening 15d is formed at the bottom surface as shown in FIG.

In addition, 15e in the figure is a flange piece for mounting installed upright on the upper part of the vertical passage part 15a.

Next, the manner of use of the auxiliary passage member 15 of the present invention will be explained.

First, the winning ball receiver 7 using the auxiliary passage member 15 of the present invention is mainly the starting winning ball receiver 7c. The reason for this is that if the number of prize balls released by the winning balls that enter the starting winning ball socket 7c is set to a small number, it is possible to make winnings easier in the starting winning ball socket 7c. As a result, variable display device 8
This is because it is possible to increase the chances of operating items a to 8c, thereby increasing the game quality and interest for the players.

Therefore, the ball outlet 16 of the starting winning ball receiver 7c
A vertical passage section 15 is located on the back side of the game board 5 at a position corresponding to
a, and fix it by passing a wood screw through the mounting flange piece 15e. At this time, the vertical passage section 1
If 5a is fitted, positioning becomes easy, and since it does not move left or right in the attached state, effects such as the ability to simplify the fixing means to the game board 5 can be obtained.

On the other hand, a through hole 18 is bored in the mechanism plate 12 at a position corresponding to the outlet part 15c of the auxiliary passage member 15, and when the mechanism plate 12 is in close contact with the game board 5, the discharge part 15c is inserted into the through hole 18. It faces the upper surface of the second winning ball gathering section 13b through the ball. Therefore, the winning balls that entered the starting winning ball receiver 7c are passed through the auxiliary passage member 15.
The balls flow down from the vertical passage section 15a and outflow section 15c through the outflow opening 15d to the second winning ball collection section 13b.

[Advantages of the Invention] As described above, the auxiliary passage member 15 of the present invention can guide winning balls to the second winning ball collecting section 13b by a simple installation procedure, which significantly improves workability and contributes to cost reduction. In addition, since it is not integrated with the mechanism plate 12, the winning ball receiving device 7 can be easily installed.
This has the advantage that it can easily accommodate changes in the layout of the equipment.
