Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a mechanical board of a pachinko machine which is rotatably mounted on the back surface of a game board.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, as a mechanism board of this type of pachinko machine, for example, as shown in FIG. 7, a first prize winning ball collecting passage 101 having a different inclination direction on the front surface of a plate-shaped portion 100 facing the back surface of a game board. And the second winning ball collecting passage 102 are provided so as to face each other, and the winning balls collected in the first winning ball collecting passage 101 and the second winning ball collecting passage 102 join together. It is known that they are made to flow down to the outlet 103 of the first winning ball collecting passage 101 while being aligned (see, for example, Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 3-3378).

[0003]

However, in the mechanical plate of the conventional pachinko machine, the first winning ball collecting passage 10 is provided.
When a large number of winning balls are retained in the first and second winning ball collecting passages 102, these winning balls are piled up in a plurality of stages and flow down to the outlet portion 103 of the first winning ball collecting passage 101 to block the ball. There was a problem of causing. The present invention is
It is an object of the present invention to obtain a mechanism board of a pachinko machine that can reliably prevent such a ball clogging phenomenon of winning balls.

[0004]

In order to achieve the above object, the mechanism plate of the pachinko machine of the present invention is a first winning ball set in which the front surface of the plate-like portion facing the back surface of the game board has different inclination directions. The passage and the second winning ball collecting passage are formed to face each other, and the winning balls collected in the first winning ball collecting passage and the winning balls collecting in the second winning ball collecting passage are combined to form a first passage. Of the winning ball collecting passage, the second winning ball collecting passage is formed to be long so as to guide the winning ball to substantially the center of the first winning ball collecting passage, and its inclination. A rectifying piece is provided on the lower surface near the terminal end so as to level down at least two stages of winning balls that flow down while stacking in a plurality of stages toward the outlet of the first winning ball collecting passage.

Further, a straightening sloping plate is provided below the second winning ball collecting passage so that the winning balls flowing down while being stacked in a plurality of stages toward the exit portion of the first winning ball collecting passage are gradually leveled. It may be provided.

[0006]

When a large number of winning balls are retained in the first winning ball collecting passage and the second winning ball collecting passage, they flow down toward the outlet of the first winning ball collecting passage while being stacked in multiple stages. The winning ball will flow down to the outlet portion while being gradually smoothed by the contact with the straightening piece or the straightening inclined plate, so that the ball does not get clogged.

[0007]

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a rear view of a pachinko machine to which the present invention is applied. In the figure, 1 is a front frame of a pachinko machine, 2
Is a game board detachably mounted on the back surface of the front frame 1 via a mounting frame, and 3 is a synthetic resin mechanism plate rotatably mounted on the back surface of the game board 2. On the front surface side of the plate-like portion 3a facing the back surface of the game board 2 of the mechanism plate 3, a winning ball dropping space is formed with a constant interval, and a first winning ball collecting passage having a different inclination direction is formed in the lower portion thereof. 4 and the second winning ball collecting passage 5 are formed to face each other. And the first
At the inclined end of the winning ball collecting passage 4, there is formed an outlet portion 7 for guiding the winning balls one by one to the winning ball discharging processing device 6.

On the other hand, on the back surface of the mechanism plate 3, a ball tank 8 for storing pachinko balls replenished from a replenishing mechanism (not shown), a guide trough 9 for aligning and flowing down the pachinko balls in the ball tank 8, and the guide trough. A payout device 10, which is provided at the lower end of 9 and pays out a predetermined number of pachinko balls as prize balls for prize balls.
Various back parts such as a discharge passage 11 and a ball removing passage 12 for guiding the pachinko balls delivered from the dispensing device 10 to a ball receiving tray (not shown) on the front surface of the front frame 1 are provided.

In the case of this embodiment, the second winning ball collecting passage 5 is constructed by integrally providing a passage portion 52 inside a side wall 51 which also serves as a mounting plate as shown in FIGS. 2 and 3. Screw 13 corresponding to above the exit 7 of the winning ball collecting passage 1
The mechanism plate 3 is integrated with the mechanism plate 3 by screwing. The passage portion 52 is selected to have a length capable of guiding the winning balls to the vicinity of the center of the first winning ball collecting passage 4.

In the present embodiment, however, the passage portion 52
A vertical rectifying piece 53 is provided on the lower surface near the end of the inclination. This straightening piece 53 is for smoothing the winning balls flowing down toward the outlet 7 of the first winning ball collecting passage 4.
As shown in FIG. 4, the projection length is selected so that the winning balls stacked in three or more stages flow down to the outlet portion 7 while smoothing out at least about two stages.

As described above, the mechanism plate of the pachinko machine according to the present embodiment stacks a plurality of stages, and at least the winning balls that flow down toward the outlet 7 of the first winning ball collecting passage 4 by the straightening piece 53. Since the winning balls are smoothed in two steps, the winning balls can be smoothly and continuously flown down to the outlet portion 7, so that the ball does not get clogged.

FIGS. 5 and 6 show another embodiment of the present invention, in which a rectifying inclined plate 531 is integrally formed with the side wall 51 below the passage portion 52 constituting the second winning ball collecting passage 5. It is provided. The straightening sloping plate 531 is formed in an elongated plate shape extending in the downward direction of the winning ball, and is arranged so as to extend from the vicinity of the inclined end of the passage portion 52 to the outlet portion 7 of the first winning ball collecting passage 4. As shown in FIG. 6, the inclination angle is selected so that the winning balls, which are stacked in a plurality of steps, gradually flow down to the exit portion 7 while gradually becoming one step.

In the case of this embodiment, the winning balls can be smoothly and continuously flown down to the outlet section 7 as in the above-mentioned embodiment, and the winning ball discharging processing by the winning ball discharging processing device 6 is slow, for example. Even in such a case, the winning balls do not stay in the vicinity of the exit 7 and are not piled up, and a smooth downflow can be secured.

[0014]

As is apparent from the above description, the mechanism plate of the pachinko machine according to the present invention has at least two or more stages of winning balls stacked in a plurality of stages in the winning ball collecting passage. However, since it is made to flow down to the exit portion, it is possible to reliably eliminate the ball clogging at the exit portion of the winning ball collecting passage.
