Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to a pachinko machine passage chucker that is used by being attached to a gaming board surface of a pachinko machine.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 The pachinko machine passage chucker (hereinafter simply referred to as the passage chucker) has a gate member protruding from the front side of the mounting base that allows the pachinko ball to pass through. This pass-through chucker has a guide type that allows the pachinko ball to pass through the gate member and simply considers the falling direction, and a switch type that incorporates a pachinko ball detection switch to electrically detect the pachinko ball passing through the gate member. There is. The guide type passage chucker is composed of a combination of a mounting base and a gate member. On the other hand, a switch-type passage chucker has a gate member on the front side and a switch holding part protruding from the back side with respect to the mounting base, and the ball passing part of the pachinko ball detection switch supported by the switch holding part is the gate. It faces the member.

[0003]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 The switch type passage chucker is a guide type passage chucker because the gate member, mounting base, and switch holding portion are integrally molded, so that the switch holding portion becomes an obstacle even if a pachinko ball detection switch is not installed. Cannot be used as a chucker. On the other hand, the guide type passage chucker does not have a through hole for passing the pachinko ball detection switch on the mounting base, and there is no switch holding part for fixing the pachinko ball detection switch. Cannot be used as a chucker. Thus, in the past, switch type and guide type passage chuckers were completely incompatible with each other and were manufactured and used independently, which wasted in terms of mold manufacturing costs, stock storage costs, etc. There were many problems.

[0004]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 In order to solve the above problems, the present invention provides a passage chucker for a pachinko machine having a mounting base mounted on a game board and a gate member through which a pachinko ball dropping on the gaming board can pass. In addition to forming a through hole through which the ball passage of the pachinko ball detection switch can be inserted, the mounting base is provided with a holder engagement part to which a switch holder for fixing the pachinko ball detection switch can be removably attached. Providing a passing chucker for pachinko machines.

[0005]

[Action]

 When the switch holder is not attached to the back side of the passage chucker, the back side of the mounting base is flat, so it can be used as a guide type passage chucker. On the other hand, if you attach the switch holder to the holder engagement part of the mounting board and fix the pachinko ball detection switch with the switch holder so that the ball passage part of the pachinko ball detection switch faces the gate member, the switch type Can be used as a passage chucker. As described above, the passage chucker of the present invention can be used as either a switch type or a guide type by attaching and detaching the switch holder to the back surface of the mounting base.

【Example】

 Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. 1 is an exploded perspective view when used as a switch type, FIG. 2 is a partial cross-sectional front view showing a switch type usage example, FIG. 3 is a vertical side view showing a switch type usage example, and FIG. 3 is a sectional view taken along the line AA of FIG. 3, FIG. 5 is a partially sectional front view showing an example of use of a guide type, and FIG. 6 is a transverse plan view showing an example of use of a guide type. The passage chucker 1 is composed of a mounting base 2 and a gate member 3 protruding from the front side of the mounting base 2. As shown in FIG. 1, when used as a switch type, a switch holder 4 is further combined. Be done.

The mounting base 2 and the gate member 3 are integrally molded products of synthetic resin. The mounting base 2 is formed with a through hole 6 into which the ball passage portion 5a of the pachinko ball detection switch 5 (for example, a pass type proximity switch) can be inserted. The gate member 3 is of a so-called gate type having a U-shape in a plan view, and has a configuration in which two gate arms 3 a, 3 a are connected to both sides of the through hole 6. On the inner surface of the gate arms 3a, 3a of the gate member 3, there is formed a concave groove 7 into which the ball passage portion 5a of the pachinko ball detection switch 5 can be fitted and slid. In addition, the mounting base 2 is provided with holder engaging portions 8 which are laterally convexly opened on both side edges of the through hole 6 and which penetrate through the base ends of the gate arms 3a, 3a in a square hole shape. There is. The switch holder 4 is in the shape of a rectangular tube into which the body portion 5b of the pachinko ball detection switch 5 can be fitted. The switch holder 4 is attached to the tip of both side plates 4s, 4s and the holder engaging portion 8 of the mounting base 2. An outward engaging claw 9 that engages is projected. Further, inward fixing claws 10 for fixing the pachinko ball detection switch 5 are provided at the rear ends of both side plates 4s, 4s of the switch holder 4.

Next, a method of using the passage chucker 1 of the present invention will be described. First, when the switch type passage chucker 1 is used, as shown in FIGS. 1 to 4, the engaging claws 9 of the switch holder 4 are fitted into the holder engaging portions 8 and the switch base is attached to the rear surface of the mounting base 2. Attach the holder 4. Then, the pachinko ball detection switch 5 is pushed in from the fixed claw 10 side of the switch holder 4. Then, the fixed pawl 10 is pushed open by the pachinko ball detection switch 5, and the pachinko ball detection switch 5 is guided from the switch holder 4 through the through hole 6 and into the groove 7 of the gate arms 3a, 3a to be guided by the ball passage portion 5a. Fits into the gate member 3. Then, the fixed claw 10 of the switch holder 4 returns by its own elasticity to press the rear end of the pachinko ball detection switch 5. On the other hand, when used as a guide type passage chucker 1, as shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, the switch holder 4 is not attached to the back surface of the mounting base 2 and is fixed to the game board 11.

Although the embodiments of the present invention have been described above, the present invention is of course not limited to the above embodiments. For example, in the embodiment, the switch holder 4 is attached to the mounting base 2 and then the pachinko ball detection switch 5 is inserted. However, as shown in FIG. 7, first, the switch holder 4 is inserted from behind the pachinko ball detection switch 5. Alternatively, the fixing claw 10 of the switch holder 4 may be engaged with the mounting base 2 in the state of being inserted in a sheath shape. If the switch holder 4 of FIG. 7 is provided with a split groove 12 for passing a lead wire (not shown) of the pachinko ball detection switch 5, the pachinko ball detection switch 5 can be easily attached to and detached from the switch holder 4. is there. Further, the embodiment is an example in which a pass-through type proximity switch is used as the pachinko ball detection switch 5, but a pass-through type micro switch or the like in which a micro switch is incorporated in a case body having a pachinko ball passage portion is used. It may be used as the detection switch 5.

[0010]

[Effect of device]

 Since the passage chucker 1 of the present invention can be used as both a switch type and a guide type by attaching and detaching the switch holder 4 to the back surface of the mounting base 2, compared to the case where both types are manufactured separately. This has the effect of significantly reducing the die manufacturing cost. Further, since it is sufficient to prepare only one type of stock, there is less waste than in the case of separately preparing both types of passing chuckers as in the conventional case, and therefore the storage cost can be greatly reduced.
