Description

[Detailed explanation of the invention] This invention performs simple ball processing functions such as guiding the balls that normally fall from above to the left and right, and detecting passing balls, and generates specific winning balls. Alternatively, it relates to a winning ball device for a pachinko machine that can form a winning hole in which a ball can be won when a specific game condition is met, and its purpose is to increase the probability of winning. To provide a new prize winning ball device which makes a pachinko game more interesting by giving changes and which gives unexpectedness to the game contents to attract the interest of players.

An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. In FIG. 1, reference numeral 1 denotes a mounting board that is mounted in contact with the surface of the game board a, and this mounting board 1
There is a large opening 2 in the center that serves as the winning opening for the ball.
is formed. Reference numeral 3 denotes an opening/closing plate provided on the front side of the opening 2 so as to be freely openable and closable.The opening/closing plate 3 is pivotally supported at its upper side by a shaft 4 and is provided so as to be openable and closable toward the rear side.
Further, an impeller 5a shown as a chucker member 5 is provided on the front surface of the opening/closing plate 3. The impeller 5a is integrally formed with three blades 7 arranged radially at equal intervals around the outer periphery of a central support cylinder 6, and a decorative disk 8 provided on the front surface. The support tube 6 is inserted into a shaft 9 protruding from the opening/closing plate 3 and attached so as to be easily rotated. In addition, the opening/closing plate 3 is an impeller 5.
The center of gravity is set so that it always opens toward the rear due to the weight of a. Reference numeral 10 denotes a box frame with an open bottom surface, which is located on the back side of the mounting board 1 and is installed in communication with the opening 2. A lever 11 is installed inside the box frame, and the lever 11 is connected to the shaft 1.
It is pivoted by 2. This lever 11 is always biased by a spring 13 so as to be placed in a substantially horizontal position, and in this state, its tip engages with the opening/closing plate 3 to hold the opening/closing plate 3 in a closed state.

The prize winning ball device of the present invention configured as described above is appropriately linked with the opening/closing mechanism 14 and placed at a desired position on the game board a. The opening/closing mechanism 14 is, for example, a solenoid 14a, and the lower end of a plunger 15 thereof is positioned above the rear end of the lever 11 that projects rearward of the box frame 10, and the rear end of the lever 11 is pressed by the operation of the solenoid 14a. Do it like this. In this embodiment, the opening/closing plate 3 is made of a transparent material, and when the solenoid 14a is activated, the lamp 16 facing inside the box frame 10 is turned on.

Next, the effect will be explained. Solenoid 14a
When is demagnetized, the opening/closing plate 3 is held in a closed state closing the opening 2 by the lever 11 as shown in FIG. 2, and the impeller 5a is placed perpendicular to the surface of the game board. . For this reason, the balls falling from above onto the impeller 5a are only guided and distributed to the left and right depending on the falling speed, angle, and other conditions.
On the other hand, when the solenoid 14a is activated, the plunger 15 projects downward, presses the rear end of the lever 11, and rotates it upward. As a result, the opening/closing plate 3 is released from the engagement by the tip of the lever 11 and opens the opening 2 by its own weight to open the opening 2, and the impeller 5a also tilts rearward. All the balls falling upward are guided to the opening 2 and become winning balls. When the solenoid 14a is demagnetized, the lever 11 returns to the substantially horizontal position shown in FIG. 2 by the action of the spring 13, again holding the opening/closing plate 3 in the closed state.

Figure 4 shows the chucker 5 passing through the chucker member 5.
It is a perspective view which shows another example designated as b. The passing chuck car 5b is formed into a cylindrical frame shape with a passage part 17 through which one ball can pass in the vertical direction.
7 is configured to electrically detect a hit ball passing through the ball. In the case of this embodiment, when the opening/closing plate 3 is in the closed state, the hit ball passing through the passage section 17 passes downward as it is and merely performs the function of detecting the passing ball, and the opening/closing plate 3 is in the open state. When this state is reached, all the balls passing through the passage section 17 can be guided to the opening 2 and become winning balls.

Incidentally, the solenoid 14a may be activated, for example, when a hit ball enters a specific winning hole or when a specific predetermined game condition is satisfied.

As described above, in the winning ball device according to the present invention, when the opening/closing plate 3 is in the closed state, the chaser member 5 only fulfills the function of processing the balls on the game board, such as guiding the distribution of balls or detecting passing balls. On the other hand, when the opening/closing plate 3 is in the open state, it becomes a winning opening, so it can bring surprise and anticipation to the players and significantly increase their interest.

In addition, it is possible to arrange a substantially large number of winning holes on the game board surface, and there are advantages such as being able to have a variety of gauge configurations and improving services for players.
