[Problems to be solved by the device]

 However, when such a large pachinko ball box (container) is placed on the counter and used, the container 13 exceeds the width of the counter 11 and approaches the player as shown in FIG. After that, the pachinko ball drop prevention jetty 12 formed on the edge of the counter 11 allowed the container 13 to be lifted, and the sense of stability was significantly lost. For this reason, for example, when a chance to get a large amount of pachinko balls 9 is created by starting a special character, a lower plate punch 10 of the lower plate 8 provided at the bottom of the game board 2 Since the pachinko balls 9 that fall and are stored are unevenly accumulated in one direction of the container 13 as is clear in FIG. 3, the pachinko balls 9 will go out of the container along the edge of the container 13 as indicated by 9a in the figure. The result is overflowing.

In such a situation, the player continues to operate the handle portion to acquire more pachinko balls 9 at the same time as having anxiety that the pachinko balls 9 will spill from the container 13, There was a problem that we had to manage the storage of the balls 9 and could not concentrate on pachinko games. Moreover, when the container 13 lacks a sense of stability in this way, the player feels uneasy, and since the container 13 is significantly protruding from the counter 11, a hand or the like can be attached to the protruding portion. Accidents of scattering the pachinko balls 9 that have been earned on the floor are also seen in some cases.

The inventor, however, pays attention to the bottom structure 3 of the frame 1 of the conventional pachinko gaming machine, and as shown in FIG. 3, the frame bottom plate 6 and the beam 4 as a reinforcing member through the frame bottom plate 6 and the outer plate 5 It is possible to keep the pachinko ball storage container horizontal by making full use of the fact that there is no dead space in the depth direction of this bottom structure 3 and the counter of this container is used. It is intended to provide a pachinko gaming machine that can suppress the protrusion from the machine as much as possible.

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, the present invention is to provide a housing portion for housing a part of a container for a pachinko ball box in an underframe disposed at the lower part of the playing surface of the pachinko gaming machine. The configuration is characterized by. In this case, it is preferable that the inner wall surface of the accommodating portion is substantially aligned with the outer shape of the box.

In addition, in the pachinko ball box according to claim 1 of the present invention, a bank portion formed at an edge portion of a counter located on the lower surface of the underframe at an appropriate position on the bottom of the ball box. The structure is characterized in that a notch portion is formed for retreat.

[0008]

[Action]

 In the pachinko gaming machine configured in this way, the ball box for pachinko can be kept horizontal, and the pachinko balls can be stored evenly and uniformly. Also, since the appropriate parts of this pachinko ball box are housed in the lower part of the pachinko gaming machine, significant protrusion from the counter has been eliminated.

[0009]

Embodiment One embodiment of the present invention will now be described with reference to FIGS. 1 and 2. FIG. 1 is a vertical cross-sectional view of this embodiment. Pachinko balls 9 that cannot be stored in the upper plate 14 of the pachinko game board 2 are discharged to the lower plate 8 from the lower plate discharge port 7, and this lower plate is shown. From the lower bowl ball punch 10 provided at the bottom, it is dropped and stored in a pachinko ball box (hereinafter referred to as a container) 30 placed on a counter 11. At this time, an appropriate portion of the container 30, for example, the rear end portion of the container 30 according to the drawings is housed in the container housing structure 20 through the opening 21 formed in the bottom portion of the frame 1 so as to be intended. You have achieved your purpose.

The container housing structure 20 will be described in more detail below. That is, in the present embodiment, as shown in the drawing, the frame bottom 26 of the frame 1 is retracted from the front side of the hand so that the outer shape of the container 30 is substantially synchronized, and the back plate 24 is formed at an appropriate angle, that is, The container 30 is erected at an angle substantially equal to the side surface of the container 30 and the side plates 23 are arranged left and right. At this time, if the notch groove 25 for retracting and storing the reinforcing edge formed at the opening of the container 30 is provided at the upper end of the inner plate 24, the container 30 can be more completely accommodated. Becomes In addition, the opening 21 into which the container 30 is inserted is preferably formed in a tapered shape so that the container 30 can be easily taken in and out. In this case, the depth of the container housing structure 20 depends on the depth of the frame 1. Therefore, when a sufficient depth can be secured, the conventional container 13 as shown in FIG. 3 can be used. ..

However, in this embodiment, such a container accommodating structure 20 is formed of wood of the same material as the frame 1, but the pachinko game board 2 mounted on the frame 1 and the pachinko balls supplied to this. Of course, other materials can be used as long as they can withstand the load of 9, and the container housing structure 20 including the frame frame bottom 26 can be integrally formed using, for example, reinforced plastic. If it is formed into a structure, it can be carried out more easily. Further, in the present embodiment, the opening portion 21 of the container housing structure 20 is arranged in the vicinity of the center of the frame 1 having the length of the container 30. It is possible to select and implement various modes, such as one over the entire base of 1 or over all adjacent pachinko game machines, that is, forming across the entire island where the pachinko game machines are installed. ..

By the way, in the present invention, the ball box (container) for pachinko is also improved in addition to the container housing structure 20 as described above. Although the conventional container has a flat outer bottom as shown in FIG. 13 of FIG. 3, the container 30 of the present invention has a pachinko ball drop prevention formed on the edge of the counter 11. In order to evacuate the jetty jetty (hereinafter referred to as jetty) 12 is configured as shown in FIGS. That is, by forming the notch 31 in the rib 32 formed upright on the bottom surface of the container 30, the container 30 can be kept horizontal. Therefore, it goes without saying that the depth of the notch portion 31 must be formed to be the same as the height of the jetty 12 from the horizontal plane of the counter 11.

In addition to providing the notch 31 as described above, the container 30 has an arbitrary shape such as a columnar shape, an inverted truncated cone shape, or a hemispherical shape on the outer bottom surface of the container 13, although not shown. An appropriate number of legs, for example, about four legs may be provided. That is, other than the ones mentioned here, any shape can be used without any problem as long as the jetty 12 can be retracted and the container 30 can be kept horizontal.

The present embodiment configured as described above has the following actions and effects. That is, since the container 30 has its end accommodated in the container accommodating structure 20 through the opening 21, the position of the lower dish ball punch 10 comes to approximately the center of the container 30, so that the pachinko ball 9 is placed in the container 30. Not only can they be stored evenly close to each other, but also the jetty 12 can be retracted by the notch 31 provided in the container 30, which gives a sense of stability never before seen. Further, such a shape of the container 30 is also effective when the heavy container 30 filled with the pachinko balls 9 at the end of the game is moved from the counter 11. According to this, the leg portion 32 formed by the cutout portion 31 of the container 30 is in contact with the counter 11, while the jetty 12 is in contact with a point in the cutout portion 31 of the container 30, When the container 30 is pulled out to the front, two fulcrums are formed at any time, so that no matter how heavy the container 30 is, it is possible to move without losing the balance.
