Description

[Detailed description of the device] <Industrial application field> This device can guide a pachinko ball that has entered the prize slot while randomly changing it to one of a plurality of prize holes with different values. Regarding the winning device for pachinko machines.

<Prior Art> As a prize winning device for guiding a ball to one of a plurality of prize winning ports having different values depending on the chance, for example, Japanese Patent Publication Sho 5
There is an invention described in JP-A-6-46868. According to the present invention, a plurality of through holes having a diameter smaller than that of a pachinko ball are provided in an inclined bottom plate, and a plurality of rocking plates having a plurality of protrusions are installed on the bottom surface of the bottom plate, and the rocking plates are moved up and down by a cam. The protrusions are projected and retracted through the through holes. Then, the pachinko ball seated in the through hole is pushed up by the projection and guided to the winning opening provided on the front edge of the bottom plate.

Further, a hitting ball processor for distributing balls to any of a plurality of winning openings by a large number of pin-shaped projections provided on a rotating disk is known from Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 56-4054.

<Problems to be solved by the invention> With the above-described winning device, it is difficult to predict the movement of the ball, and which of the plurality of winning ports is to be won depends on the chance. Can be intriguing.
However, the ball once sits in each through hole, moves to the next through hole after waiting for the protrusion to rise, so the movement of the ball is slow, the movement of the ball is not traced and there is no sense of speed, making the pachinko game interesting. It has been halved. In addition, since a swing plate, a cam, etc. must be provided below the box frame, a large space is required on the back side of the game board.

In addition, since the rotating disc is almost upright in the ball striking machine that sorts the balls to one of the winning openings by the rotating disc,
Since the flow speed of the ball is relatively fast and the time that the ball stays on the rotating disk is short, the result will come out before the expectation of what winning hole to win, so the pachinko interest can be improved. It was the current situation that it did not contribute.

<Means for Solving the Problems> The present invention has been proposed in view of the above, and includes a winning frame having a front opening, a ball passage for introducing a ball flowing down the gaming portion into the winning frame, and the winning frame. The rotating plate, which is rotatably housed so as to be inclined downward gently toward the front edge of the winning frame, has a light-transmitting property, and has a plurality of support columns arranged on the upper surface, and the rotating plate. A light emitting body that illuminates from below, and a plurality of winning openings of different values provided on the front edge of the bottom of the winning frame,
The rotating plate and the motor are connected to each other through the rotation transmitting means, the rotating plate is always rotated at a constant speed during the game, and the ball introduced into the winning frame through the ball passage is rotated during the game. The path is irregularly changed by continuously abutting against the support pillar of the rotating plate to guide the winning path to one of the winning openings, and the path change of the sphere can be visually recognized by the illumination of the light emitter.

<Action> During the game, the rotating plate is constantly rotated by the motor at a constant speed,
A pachinko ball that falls into the winning frame and falls on the rotating plate collides with a support pillar provided on the rotating plate to change the course irregularly and guides you to one of several prize holes with different values. To do. Further, since the rotating plate has a light-transmitting property, it is possible to visually recognize a change in the path of the sphere by illuminating the light-emitting body from below.

<Embodiment> Hereinafter, the present invention will be described with reference to embodiments of the drawings.

The winning device 1 has a rotating rotating plate 4 on the upper surface of the bottom 3 of the winning frame 2 having a depth, and a plurality of supporting columns 5 having different heights are provided on the upper surface of the rotating plate 4.

The winning frame 2 has an open front surface, and an upper frame 6 of the winning frame 2 so that a ball flowing down the game section can always be introduced into the winning frame 2.
A ball passage 7 is provided on the lower side of the ball passage 7, and an inclined lower end of the ball passage 7 is opened downward immediately before the back plate 8 of the winning frame 2 to open the ball passage 7.
The upper end of the slant of is directly contacted with the top prize hole 9 located on the surface of the game board. Further, the bottom portion 3 is gently inclined downward toward the open end. Therefore, the pachinko ball a that wins the world winning hole 9 or the pachinko ball that is appropriately guided from the sky winning port 10 provided above the world winning port 9 falls through the ball passage 7 into the back of the winning frame 2. , It is designed to roll toward the front edge.

The rotary plate 4 is made of a translucent synthetic resin, and a plurality of support columns 5 having different heights and diameters are provided on the upper surface of the rotary plate 4 so as to project therefrom. The support columns 5 may be regularly arranged at intervals such that a pachinko ball can pass therethrough, as shown in FIG.
As shown in FIG. 4, the pachinko balls may be arranged irregularly so that a part of the pachinko balls has a space that cannot pass through. An inclined end surface 11 is formed at the upper end of each support pillar 5 so as to be cut obliquely. Then, the rotating plate 4 as described above is rotatably housed on the upper surface of the bottom portion 3 of the winning frame 2 in an inclined state so as to be gently inclined downward toward the front edge of the winning frame 2. In this case, it is advisable to pass the support shaft 12 through the shaft hole formed in the bottom portion 3 and fix the center of the rotary plate 4 to the upper end of the support shaft 12 with a screw 13 or the like. Further, the lower end of the support shaft 12 is connected to a drive shaft 17 extending from a rotation shaft 16 'of a motor 16 fixed to a motor mounting plate 15 via a rotation transmission means 14 such as a bevel gear.

A light-emitting body such as a lamp 18 faces the lower surface of the rotary plate 4 so that the rotary plate 4 is illuminated. In this case, a translucent color sheet plate 19 which is color-coded as shown in FIG. 5 is attached to the lower surface of the rotary plate 4, and a lamp hole corresponding to the lamp 18 is formed in the bottom portion 3. Alternatively, if the bottom 3 is made of a transparent plate, the rotating plate 4 can be illuminated from below with different colors by turning on the lamp 18.
Further, since the light incident on the support column 5 of the rotary plate 4 passes through the support column 5 and is emitted from the inclined end face 11, the inclined end face 11 looks bright.

On the front edge of the bottom portion 3, a plurality of winning openings having different values are arranged side by side. In the illustrated embodiment, three winning openings, that is, the central winning opening 20 and the left and right winning openings 21 and 22 are provided in the lateral direction, and the central winning opening 20 is a variable winning provided below the winning device 1. It is a starting winning hole for the device 23 and has a high value.

The winning device 1 as described above, the rotating plate 4 during the pachinko game
Are rotated at a constant speed by a motor 16 and are illuminated from below by a lamp 18. Then, the pachinko ball a that the player has blasted into the high-end winning port 9 falls near the rear end of the rotary plate 4 through the ball passage 7 and rolls up when rolling down the upper surface of the rotary plate 4. When the support pillars 5 come into contact with the support pillars 5 or are supported between adjacent support pillars 5 and 5 and rotate together with the support pillars 5, when the support pillars 5 are no longer supported, the upper surface of the rotary plate 4 rolls again to make the path irregular. While varying, the player wins either the central winning opening 20 provided on the front edge of the bottom portion 3 or the left and right winning openings 21, 22. In this case, it is not possible to predict which winning slot 20, 21, 22 the winning point of the pachinko ball wins, and it is possible to remarkably enhance the interest of the pachinko game. Also, as the rotating plate 4 rotates, the supporting pillars 5 are illuminated in various colors, and the inclined end faces 11 of the supporting pillars 5 shine in various colors, so that it is as if wandering into the cave where outer space and gems are scattered. It can create a fantastic atmosphere. Therefore, when the rotary plate 4 is illuminated in various colors, the interest of the pachinko game can be remarkably enhanced from a decorative aspect. Further, since the rotating plate 4 is illuminated from below by the lamp 18, the sphere on the rotating plate 4 is easy to see,
The change of course can be easily visually recognized. Therefore, the player desires to win a prize hole having a high value, that is, the center prize hole 20 in this embodiment, and the expectation is significantly increased.

Next, an example of the variable winning device 23 and the above winning device 1
An example of a game combining and will be described.

The variable winning device 23 has rotatable wings 24 on the left and right, and by the rotation of the wings 24, it is possible to convert a state in which a pachinko ball is easy to win into the special winning opening 25 and a state in which it is difficult to win. The wing piece 24 communicates with a solenoid 27 via a link mechanism 26, and the solenoid 27
Is controlled by appropriate control means (not shown). Then, the rotation of the wing 24 is started by a signal from the ball detector 28 facing the winning opening 20 in the center of the winning device 1, and the wing 24 is opened an appropriate number of times or the wing 24 is opened appropriately. The control means is set so as to keep the pachinko ball open and easy to win. Then, the pachinko ball released by the player enters the world winning hole 9 and drops onto the rotating plate 4 through the ball passage 7 and is guided by the rotating plate 4 and the support pillars 5 so that the pachinko ball is in the center. When the prize is won, the prize is detected by the ball detector 28, the solenoid 27 is driven through the control means, and the wing piece 24 is rotated so that the pachinko ball easily wins the special winning opening 25. The control means is set to maintain this state, for example, for 30 seconds, and if 10 pachinko balls enter the special winning opening 25, the wing piece 24 is in the original winning state even before the predetermined time has elapsed. The control means can also be set to return.

In addition, the right to rotate the wing piece 24 is generated due to the pachinko ball entering the central winning opening 20, and while this right continues, another starting winning opening (not shown) provided on the game board becomes effective. When a pachinko ball enters the starting winning slot in the valid state, wing pieces 24
It is also possible to rotate the so that the pachinko ball can easily win the prize. Further, when the wing piece 24 is rotated and in a state where it is easy to win a prize, if the pachinko ball is won again in the central winning opening 20, the wing piece 24 may be closed, or a new one is continuously added. The rotation of the wing pieces 24 may be started. Also,
It is also possible to limit the subsequent rotation of the winglets 24 to a maximum of eight times. The player may be notified of the display of the number of winning balls and the number of rotations by the light emission of the LEDs 29 and 30 provided in the variable winning device 23.

By combining the winning device 1 of the present invention with the variable winning device 23 and appropriately setting the control means, a wide variety of games can be dealt with. Also, since it is difficult to predict the movement of the pachinko balls introduced in the prize slot 2, if the pachinko balls are guided to the central winning hole 20 which is fortunately advantageous, it is enough for the player. Profit and satisfaction can be given, and the interest in pachinko games can be significantly enhanced.

<Effect of the Invention> According to the winning device of the present invention, it is possible to always introduce the ball flowing down through the game section into the winning frame through the ball passage, and the rotating plate that constantly rotates the ball introduced into the winning frame. It is possible to guide the player to any one of a plurality of prize holes having different values, which are completely accidentally influenced by the support pillars, taking a relatively long time. Therefore, it is difficult to predict which winning port will be won, which intrigues the interest of the player, increases the expectation of winning a high-value winning port, and significantly enhances the interest of the pachinko game. In addition, since the player can easily visually recognize the changing direction of the sphere that changes on the rotating plate from below the rotating plate, the player can easily see it, and in combination with the increase in the above-mentioned expectation, the pachinko game The interest can be significantly improved. And since the movement of the ball is not cut off while guiding the pachinko ball within the winning frame,
Even if it takes a long time to flow down, it is possible to play games with a sense of speed.
