Description

[Detailed explanation of the invention] This invention is based on the winning device of pachinko machines,
In detail, multiple open/close ball receivers installed on the play surface can be used to hold specific balls (safe balls) at predetermined locations on the play board.
This invention relates to a winning device that opens in response to the occurrence of a winning ball, and closes individually when a batted ball wins a prize.
The purpose is to improve the interest of the game by increasing opportunities and changing the manner of winning prizes.

The present invention will be explained below based on illustrated embodiments.
In the winning device of this example, winnings are made through an installation hole H in the center of the game board P (this example is a type that is separated from the ball launcher and can be attached and detached from the front of the front frame). The device W includes first, second, and third electromagnetic solenoids 23, 27, which are activated in response to the occurrence of a specific ball at each predetermined location set on the game board P.
27' is attached. The main body 1 of the winning machine W has two winning openings 3 on both sides of a board 2 attached to the playing surface.
A safe ball guide plate 5 is provided on the bottom surface of the box 4 on the back surface of the substrate 2. An upper locking rod 6 and a lower locking rod 7 for regulating the clockwise and counterclockwise rotation angles of the ball holder 10, which will be described later, are installed horizontally at the top and bottom of the box 4, and the center of the box 4 and each Locking edges 8, 9 on which a movable release frame 18 (described later) is placed on the rear lower part of the side plate 4a
is formed.

A plurality of beak-shaped ball receivers 10 for safe balls are arranged in the main body 1 in correspondence with the prize openings 3 on each side. This ball receiver 10 is pivoted in a parallel state to a fulcrum shaft 11 passing horizontally in the box 4 so as to be tiltable individually, so that the winning opening 3 can be opened and closed.
A guide piece 12 is provided inside 0a, a locking piece 13 is provided at the rear end of the frame 10b (on the opposite side to the prize opening 3), and partition pieces 10c for preventing ball deviation are connected to both sides of both parts 10a and 10b. ing. In addition, each tool 10 can be quickly and easily adjusted with a balance between the center of gravity and the weight of the ball over the range in which the rear end of the frame portion 10b (the locking piece 13 may also be used) is locked to the upper and lower locking rods 6 and 7. It can be tilted smoothly, and the rotation angle is regulated by the locking rods 6 and 7, so that it can be held in each of the closed and released states.

In the box 4 of the main body 1, a closing holding piece 14 for the ball receiver 10 and a pair of left and right movable release frames 18 are installed. The closure holding piece 14
The closed state of the box 4 is held more stably, and the locking pieces 13 are pivoted in parallel to each other so as to be tiltable individually on a support shaft 15 passing horizontally inside the box 4.
A fishing portion 14a is formed that can be engaged with the fishing rod. Note that each closing holding piece 14 is normally in a hanging state and is locked on the upper surface of the locking piece 13, and the release frame 17 connected to the arm rods 16 on both sides of the support shaft 15
When it moves upward, it is stopped by the same frame 17 and tilted upward all at once. That is, the fishing portion 14a separates from the upper surface of the locking piece 13. On the other hand, each movable release frame 18
0 to the released state, and is provided oppositely on each left and right side of the tool (every 3 pieces in the figure), and its release frame 1
Arms 18b at both ends of 8a are pivotally supported on the fulcrum shaft 11. Both release frames 18 are individually tiltable, and are normally placed on the respective locking edges 8 and 9 of the main body 1, and the release frames 18a are attached to the locking pieces 13 of each ball receiver 10. It faces directly below so that it can be engaged. Reference numeral 19 denotes a pin protruding from the center of the outer arm 18b of each movable release frame 18, and extends to the outside of the box 4. Reference numeral 20 denotes a ball control piece that stands vertically within the frame portion 10b of the ball receiver 10.

Reference numeral 21 denotes a plurality of regulating pieces arranged inside the box 4 of the main body 1. This regulating piece 21
It maintains the released state more stably, and has a stopper 21a that can come into contact with the safe ball, a balance weight 21b that is smaller than the weight of the safe ball, and a support shaft that passes horizontally inside the box 4. For 22,
The safe ball and the ball receiver 10 are individually pivotably supported in a balanced manner and are located within the corresponding frame portion 10b. When the ball receiver 10 is closed, each regulating piece 21 makes the stopper 21a lightly contact the guide piece 12 as shown in FIG.
When the tool 10 is released, it tilts with its own balance to expose the stopper 21a outside the winning opening 3 as shown in FIG.
That is, the regulating piece 21 is rotated while contacting the guide piece 12 and maintains the state shown in FIG.
Even if the ball receiving part 10a is pushed and hit by a game ball from the outside, the counterclockwise rotation of the ball receiving part 10 is stopped by the regulating piece 21, and the ball receiving part 10 is prevented from being closed.

the first, second, and third electromagnetic solenoids 23;
27, 27' are arranged on the back side of the game board P as operating means for the winning machine W, and the first solenoid 23 as the first operating means is connected to the plunger 24.
is connected to the release frame 17 via a rod 25 and a link 26. Second and third solenoids 27 and 27' serving as second operating means connect each plunger 28 and 28' to the movable release frame 18 on each side via connecting rods 29 and 29' and a pin 19. There is.
Although not shown, these solenoids are each connected to a control circuit board connected to each detection switch for a specific ball installed at each predetermined part of the game board P.
Turning on each switch activates and deactivates them in the order of settings. By the way, the first solenoid 23 controls the specific balls at the first, second, and third predetermined locations (the winning safe balls A, A', and A'' on the left and right in Figures 1 and 2, respectively, and The second and third solenoids 27 and 27' are operated when the ball
The movable release frame 18 is set to be operated individually when a second specific ball occurs, and synchronously operated when a third specific ball occurs.

As an example of mutual interlocking of winning machines, each ball holder 1
The safe balls that entered 0 are placed in each prize pot B, C, D,
All you have to do is set it so that it guides you to E and F and releases the vessel.

In the winning device of this example configured as described above,
The ball receiver 10 is released in response to a specific ball generated at each part during play. For example, when a specific ball occurs in the left winning tool A of the first part, the detection switch
When turned on, the first solenoid 23 (for example,
0.2 seconds later), the second solenoid 27 is activated, and as the plunger 24 on the first side rises, the fully closed holding piece 14 is tilted upward via the release frame 17, and the fishing part 1 is
4a separates from the upper surface of the locking piece 13 and releases the lock to the global receiver 10. Immediately after this, as the plunger 28 on the second side rises, the movable release frame 18 on that side (left side in FIG. 4) is tilted upward, and the locking piece 13 is pushed up. As a result, each ball receiver 10 on the front left shifts its center of gravity (to the front of the fulcrum shaft 11).
Accordingly, the frame portion 10b of the ball receiver 10 comes into contact with the upper locking rod 6 and rotates forward until it is prevented from rotating, thereby opening the winning opening 3 (see FIG. 8B). After that,
After the second solenoid 27 (for example, after 0.2 seconds)
The first solenoid 23 is deactivated, and as the plunger 28 on the second side returns to its lowered position, the left movable open frame 18 is prevented from rotating by its own weight at the locking edges 8 and 9 at its original position, thereby maintaining the placed state. Immediately after this, the plunger 24 on the first side returns to the vertical state shown in FIG. 8A due to its own weight, and the winning machine W maintains the half-open state. Incidentally, each open ball receiver 10 is prevented from being accidentally closed by the corresponding regulating piece 21.

When a safe ball enters the winning machine W, the ball receiver 10 closes. That is, the receiving part 1 of the tool 10
The batted ball received at 0a is guided by the guide piece 12 as a safe ball and hits the stopper 21 of the regulation piece 21.
Press a and pass through the frame part 10b from the prize opening 3,
Then, while the ball is prevented from escaping to the back side by the control piece 20, its own weight pushes open the rear end of the guide piece 12, and the ball is led out from the lower part of the box 4 via the introduction plate 5, and thereafter is guided to the outside of the device through the introduction plate 5. After being guided to the winning machine, it is discharged to a predetermined location. When using such a safe ball, each ball receiver 10 quickly tilts (to the rear of the fulcrum shaft 11) due to the shift of the center of gravity due to the balance with the weight of the ball, and the locking piece 13 closes the ball. Once the holding piece 14 is pushed open and returned to the original closed position,
Then, it is held by the same holding piece 14 (see FIG. 8A). When a ball hits each ball receiver 10, the winning machine W is returned to the fully closed state.

Also, when a specific ball occurs in the right winning machine A' of the second part, the detection switch is turned on and the first and third balls are turned on.
The solenoids 23 and 27' are operated in sequence as described above, the closing holding piece 14 is opened, the movable opening frame 18 on the right side is tilted upward, and the ball receiving device 10 on that side is opened, and as the ball is hit, the balls are individually released. Closed.
In addition, in the above-mentioned half-opening operation for each side, the ball receiver 10 on the closed side is restrained again after being released from the closing holding piece 14, and although it is once unlocked, it maintains the closed state due to its own balance. It will not be opened accidentally.

On the other hand, when a specific ball occurs in the upper winning tool A'' of the third part, the detection switch is turned on and the first solenoid 23, followed by the second and third solenoid 27, 2
7' are operated synchronously, the closing holding piece 14 is released, and both movable opening frames 18 are tilted upward, so that the entire sphere receiver 10 is tilted forward all at once, and the winning machine W is brought into a fully open state.
Each tool 10 is closed individually as the ball is hit.

In addition, in both the half-open and full-open settings for each side as described above, a new specific ball may be generated at each part while some ball receivers 10 are still in the open state while the ball is being hit. For example, each solenoid 23,
27, 27', the previously closed ball holder 10 is opened, and the winning machine W is returned to its original half-open or fully open state. In any case, the balls are received by the ball receiver 10 in the order of circulation in the open width area when the ball receiver 10 is half open or fully open, and the winning positions and order are not fixed.

In particular, in this example, by making each ball holder 10 into a bucket shape with partition pieces 10c on both sides, it is possible to form a winning chamber for safe balls in itself. parts can be eliminated. Moreover, by supporting each of the support shafts 15 and 22 by the support grooves 30 and the ground 31 on both sides of the box 4 as shown in the figure, the closing holding piece 14 and the regulating piece 21 can be assembled extremely easily.

In addition, as an example of a modification of this example device, the prize opening 3 may be made into one horizontally long one, or the ball control means may be formed in the box 4 itself. The guide piece 12 of each ball receiver 10 may be integrally formed with the tool. The closing and holding piece 14 may be operated by the two first solenoids 23 on each side, or may be operated in conjunction with each movable opening frame 18 when it is operated.
Although this holding piece 14 is not strictly necessary, it may be provided on each locking piece 13 whose magnet is made of iron instead of the same piece. That is, the locking piece 13 made of a magnetic material is attracted by a magnet to maintain the ball holder 10 in a more secure closed state, thereby serving as a substitute for the holding piece 14.
The material of each member is not limited, and the ball receiver 10 is
Although the number is not limited, two or more on each side is desirable.

In this way, in the winning device of the present application, the first solenoid operates to release the lock of the ball holder, and then the second solenoid operates.
The solenoid ensures that the ball holder is opened by the movable opening frame, and even if the ball holder is pushed and hit by a play ball from outside the ball holder, the ball holder will not move counterclockwise. Since the rotation of the ball is stopped by the regulating piece and the ball is prevented from being closed, the ball receiver is closed even when it is used as a safe ball. Further, when the ball receiver is in the closed state, the closed state can be reliably maintained by the closure holding piece. Furthermore, when a winning ball occurs in each of the first and second predetermined areas,
When each operation solenoid is actuated independently, the ball receiver on that side is opened by individual operation of the movable opening frame on each side, and the same can be changed to a half-open state on each side, Since the opening width when half-open can be used as an effective winning area, it is possible to effectively receive multiple batted balls circulating in the same winning area, increasing the possibility of winning and generating many winning balls. . Moreover, each ball receiving device has no restrictions on the opening time, in other words, it is not forcibly closed after a predetermined time has elapsed, and the device is closed when a legitimate prize is won. The game's interest is halved due to the guaranteed number of games and the time constraints mentioned above.
You can resolve your dissatisfaction. In addition to the fact that the ball receivers can be changed to a half-open state on each side, there is no restriction on the winning order or position of balls hit to each open ball receiver, and because they are immobile, the winning states change in a variety of ways. Therefore, the interest in the game can be further increased.
