[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to an electric winning device for a pachinko machine, and more specifically, an electric winning device capable of changing a winning area of a pachinko ball (also referred to as a game ball) hit in a game board between a closed state and an open state. It relates to the device.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 Regarding this type of electric prize winning device, if the opening / closing member for the winning area for game balls has a basic configuration that is opened / closed by using a drive operation mechanism including an electromagnetic solenoid or a connecting member, It is called an "electrical accessory". Typical examples of this "electrical accessory" are those in which the opening / closing member is in the form of a front-rear tilting door, a pair of left-right tilting blades, and a front-rear moving saucer, which are the game boards for each pachinko machine. It is widely used according to the configuration and game content. It should be noted that all the opening / closing members are held open based on the set movable time (energization time) of the electric part in the drive operation mechanism, and are returned to the original closed position when the electric part is stopped (when the electric power is turned off). ..

[0003]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 In the electric accessories mentioned above, in which the opening and closing member is of a saucer type, the opening and closing receiving plate is inserted into the winning opening opened in the center of the main body so that it can move (retract) in the front-back direction. , When the open / close receiving plate is in the forward state, the winning port is in a ball-passable state (de facto open state), and when the receiving plate is in the retracted state, the winning port is in a ball-passing state (de facto closed state) It is supposed to be. Therefore, while the open / close receiving plate is held in the forward state, the game ball received on the receiving plate can be passed through the winning opening to be an original safe ball.

However, in this kind of electric accessory, there are many inconveniences that the game ball received on the open / close receiving plate is dropped as a non-safe ball. That is, if the game ball is received immediately before the retreat of the opening / closing member (stop of the electric part), if the receiving plate is instantaneously immersed in the main body immediately after receiving the ball, the game ball will receive the winning opening. Shortly before passing through, the ball will be ejected and dropped from that position and will be returned to the original game ball as a non-safe ball. For this reason, the player believed that the game ball received while the open / close support plate was in the forward state (open) was naturally a safe ball, but was made a non-safe ball as described above. This is one of the causes of feeling uncomfortable in an unexpected situation, complaining about the game machine, and causing trouble with the game shop side.

[0005]

[The purpose of the device]

 The present invention has been proposed in order to suitably solve the above-mentioned problems, and during the opening operation of the device itself, while the opening / closing member is held in the open ball receiving state based on the set condition, the opening / closing member is opened. It is an object of the present invention to provide an electric prize winning device in which the game ball accepted by the player is prized as an original legitimate safe ball and discomfort caused by the instability of the prize winning mode of the game ball can be eliminated. ..

[0006]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 In order to overcome the above-mentioned problems and preferably achieve the intended purpose, the present invention is mounted on a game board and has a main body that defines a winning / withdrawing area for a game ball in the front-rear direction and this main body. The opening / closing receiving member that is inserted into the movement path to be moved back and forth and is changed to the open / closed position with respect to the entrance of the prize winning / discharging area, and the opening / closing receiving member installed on the back side of the main body to set the setting condition. It is characterized by comprising a drive operation mechanism that can be opened and closed based on the above, and a ball pulling guide portion formed on the front side of the open / close receiving member.

[0007]

[Action]

 In the electric prize winning device of the present invention described above, the game ball that falls toward the main body because the opening and closing receiving member is held in the non-ball receiving state at the closed position with respect to the winning opening before the normal opening operation. Falls through the front surface of the main body without being received by the receiving member. On the other hand, at the time of opening operation, the open / close receiving member is held in the ball receiving state at the open position with respect to the winning opening, so that the game ball received by the receiving member during this period is passed through the winning opening and is a safe ball. It is said that. And the game ball received just before the opening and closing receiving member is returned to the original closed position is guided to the main body side while being prevented from falling outward by the ball shifting piece when the receiving member returns It is passed into the mouth and is used as the original legitimate safe ball.

[0015]

[Operation of the embodiment]

 The electric prize winning device of the present embodiment configured as described above is generally referred to as an "ordinary electric accessory type pachinko game machine" as shown in FIG. 7 as an example of a typical embodiment. It is suitably implemented as a "normal electric accessory" that is attached to a predetermined part of the game board P of the pachinko machine that is being used and has game operation conditions set to suit the set game content. In the game board P in FIG. 7, reference numeral 41 is an operating tool for detecting the winning of the game ball, and 42 is opened under the set condition based on the winning detection by the operating tool 41 and the winning detection of the gaming ball is not performed. Obtaining a small electric accessory, 43 is a symbol display device that is activated based on the detection of a prize in the electric accessory 42 and establishes a special game condition for enabling the opening operation of the prize device itself. The electrical control technology and the like according to the present invention are not the gist of the present invention, and thus the description thereof will be omitted.

Therefore, a basic game operation mode of the winning device of the present embodiment implemented as described above will be described. First, during the game on the game board P, when the special game condition is not established, the device itself is assumed to be before the normal opening operation, the electromagnetic solenoid 22 is stopped, and the operation member 24 is moved to the backward tilting position. The open / close receiving member 12 is statically held in the aspherical receiving state in which the winning opening 5 is closed at the retracted end position (see FIG. 5 (a)). For this reason, the game ball hit on the game board P passes through the front surface of the main body 1 without being received by the opening / closing receiving member 12 even if it is dropped toward the main body 1.

On the other hand, when the game ball enters the electric accessory 42 and is detected, the symbol display device 43 is actuated, and when the special game condition is established by the determination of the symbol display result, In the winning device, the opening operation will be performed. That is, at a proper time point after the establishment of the special game condition, the electromagnetic solenoid 22 is energized for a set operation time, whereby the operating member 24 is tilted and changed forward with respect to the lowering of the rod 23. The opening / closing receiving member 12 is extended to the forward end position and is held in a ball receiving state in which the winning opening 5 is opened (see FIG. 5 (b)). Therefore, as for the game ball falling toward the main body 1, the ball received on the receiving plate 13 is prevented from falling outward by the ball stopper pieces 14 and the wall portion 15 on both sides, and the winning opening. Passing 5 will be a safe ball.

The electromagnetic solenoid 22 is stopped and returned to the original state after the set operation time has elapsed (time-up), but the rod 23 is raised and the operation member 24 is tilted backward. The opening / closing receiving member 12 is retracted to the original closed position, and the basic opening operation of the entire winning device is completed.

In the opening operation state described above, regarding the game balls falling from above toward the opening / closing receiving member 12, it is assumed that the game balls contact the ball stopping piece portion 14 and the ball shifting piece 16 on both sides depending on the respective falling directions and the like. Also, the ball received on the receiving plate 13 is passed through the winning opening 5 to be a safe ball, and is passed through the passage 6 in the main body 1 from the exit 10 to the back side of the game board P. On the other hand, for game balls that fall from the left and right laterally upward directions toward the open / close receiving member 12 and abut the outside of the ball stopping piece 14 on each side, the ball stopping piece 14 is affected by the impact force of the ball. Accordingly, it receives a part of the elastic force when it is elastically changed and bounces back, and after that, the falling and moving directions are changed, and a new sensation is given to the floating state.

Immediately before the opening / closing receiving member 12 is returned and returned (immediately before the set operation time of the electromagnetic solenoid 22 has elapsed), the game ball is received by the receiving plate 13, and immediately after that, the opening / closing receiving member 12 is returned. In this case, the game balls on the member 12 are held by the ball pulling pieces 16 that try to sink into the winning opening 5 while the ball stopper pieces 14 on both sides prevent the balls from falling to the left and right. It is drawn into the winning opening 5 in a state where it is approached or scratched. As a result, the game sphere described above is a sphere that has entered the open / close receiving member 12 in the open state, and is therefore a legitimate safe sphere.

In the opening operation described above, when the game ball is instantaneously positioned on the front surface of the ball shifting piece 16 in synchronization with the forward opening of the opening / closing receiving member 12, this game ball is an inclined surface of the front surface of the ball shifting piece 16. The protruding portion 19 promptly guides it to either the right or left direction, and the situation of being sandwiched between the glass G of the glass door and the ball pulling piece 16 which is schematically shown in FIG. 6 is eliminated. Further, when the open / close receiving member 12 is opened and immediately before returning to the backward direction, the game ball is quickly guided to the left and right by the slanted projection 20 on the inner surface of the game ball when it comes into contact with the ball shifting piece 16, and then enters the winning opening 5. Is passed.

As an example of another embodiment, the electric prize winning apparatus of the present embodiment exhibiting the game operation state is generally not shown, but is generally referred to as a “pachinko game machine with a first type accessory continuous operation device” and a “second type accessory”. It is installed on the game board of each pachinko machine, which is also called "pachinko machine with continuous operation device" and "Pachinko machine with third-class starting port", and the game operating conditions are set to suit each set game content. It can be suitably carried out under the circumstances. By the way, in any of the pachinko machine embodiments, the operation time of the electromagnetic solenoid 22 is appropriately set as one of the opening operation conditions of the winning device itself.

[0023]

[Effect of the device]

 As described above, the electric winning device of the pachinko machine according to the present invention is a type of opening and closing the winning area for the game ball with the opening and closing receiving member that is moved back and forth by the operation of the drive operation mechanism. At the time of operation, the open / close receiving member is held in the ball receiving state in which the winning area is opened at the forward end, and the game ball received in the member can be passed into the winning area to be a safe ball. At the end of opening operation, the opening / closing receiving member is quickly retracted to return to the non-ball receiving state in which the winning area is closed. Immediately before the backward opening of the opening / closing receiving member, the game ball received in the member is balled. It can be properly received by the approach guide part and guided to the main body side while stopping the falling to the outside and let it enter the winning area, and it can be a legitimate safe ball.

As described above, even immediately before the return of the opening / closing receiving member, the game ball received while the member is opened can be made to be a legal safe ball, so that the game operation of the device itself, in particular, the prize can be won. A new tasty taste will be suitably exhibited in the aspect. On the other hand, the player can be fully satisfied with the winning mode, and can avoid the troubles and the like caused by the game ball becoming a non-safe ball. It
