Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a ball game machine in which an electric game machine which operates under the control of an electric control machine is arranged in a game section defined by guide rails.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In recent years, various ball game machines, such as so-called three-seven machines, which can obtain a large number of prize balls in a short time have been developed and gained popularity. In this type of ball game machine, a large-sized electric game machine that operates under the control of an electric control device is arranged together with other play equipment. In addition, the effect of decoration on the player is enhanced, and the number of obstacle nails in the game section is reduced due to the arrangement of the large-sized electric game device, which tends to increase the flow rate of the hit ball. For this reason, a configuration is adopted in which the electric gaming device is plated with a conductive material to prevent abrasion.

[0003]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In the above-mentioned conventional ball game device, a large electric game device and various other play equipments are installed, so that there is no space in the game part, and the inside of the game part is reduced. Not only the space between the play equipment but also the space between the electric game device and the guide rail are narrowed. In recent years, gaming machines have been designed to throw in game balls,
Since many plastic parts are used in the cell plate on the surface of the game board, the parts through which the game balls pass, such as the game equipment in the game part, static electricity is generated due to friction between these parts and the game ball, and the guide rail Get charged. Therefore, when the game ball contacts the guide rail and the plated portion of the electric game device at the same time to make them conductive, static electricity of the guide rail flows to the electric game device through the game ball or is guided. When the game ball on the rail approaches the electric game device, static electricity of the guide rail may be discharged to the plated portion of the electric game device via the game ball. In this way, when static electricity flows to the electric gaming device, the static electricity is transmitted from the electric components such as a lamp, a solenoid, an LED, and a wiring pattern portion of the wiring board, which form a part of the electric gaming device, through the wiring. Flow to the static control device and affect it, causing malfunction. In addition, a metal decoration member is generally attached around the out hole to decorate the circumference of the out hole, but this decoration member is in conduction with the guide rail, and static electricity is generated from here. It may also flow to an electric gaming device. Therefore, it is an object of the present invention to provide a ball game machine in which the electric control device is not affected by the static electricity charged in the guide rail or the out hole decoration.

[0004]

The present invention has been proposed in order to achieve the above-mentioned object, and divides the game section by a conductive inner guide rail, and at the same time, an out hole is formed in the lower part of the game section. A conductive plate-shaped decorative member is attached to the front surface of the opening edge of the out hole, and in the ball game machine equipped with a game board in which an electric game device connected to an electric control device is arranged in the game part, Electricity that applies conductive plating to a predetermined portion of the physical gaming device and that prevents the formation of a conduction path or a discharge path made of an insulating material between the above-mentioned predetermined portion and the inside guide rail or the charging portion of the decorative member where static electricity is charged. It is provided with a physical connection blocking means.

[0005]

The electric connection preventing means between the predetermined portion plated and the charging portion of the electric game device prevents the formation of a conduction path or a discharge path between them, so that the inner guide rail or Even if the charging portion such as the out-hole decoration member is charged with static electricity, the static electricity does not flow to a predetermined portion of the electric game machine. Therefore, the static electricity charged in the charging portion does not flow from the predetermined portion of the electric game device through the wiring to the electric control device, and the electric control device is not affected by the static electricity.
