Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Industrial field of application] The present invention relates to a flow force controller for controlling the flow force of a prize ball supplied to a prize ball tank of each pachinko machine.

[Prior Art] In a conventional pachinko hall, as shown in FIG. 4, a counting replenisher d is separately installed above the prize ball tank b of each pachinko machine a and on the upper frame c of the island where the pachinko machine is installed. When the prize ball tank b becomes empty, the counting replenisher d is operated to replenish the prize balls in fixed numbers.
The prize ball tank b is provided with a flow force controller e to prevent the prize balls supplied from the counting supply device d from being scattered too much by the force, and one example thereof is shown in FIGS. Will be described.

Reference numeral 1 is a box-like body, on which an introduction opening 2 for introducing a prize ball that faces the ball outlet of the counting replenisher d is formed, and on the upper side surface of the prize ball tank b on the side corresponding to the outlet 3. Discharge opening 5 communicating with the introduction opening 2 through the arcuate bottom wall 4.
Then, a box-shaped projecting portion 6 is formed in front of the discharge opening 5 and the lower surface of which is open. The box-shaped projecting portion 6 is selected to have a height of approximately the upper half of the box-shaped body 1 so that a space for flowing out the prize balls is formed between the box-shaped protruding portion 6 and the bottom surface of the prize ball tank b. Further, a mounting piece 8 having a desired width is formed on the rear side surface of the box-shaped body 1 by forming a mounting hole 7.

The conventional flow force controller e having the above-described configuration is the box-shaped body 1
The introduction opening 2 of the above is matched with the ball outlet of the counting replenisher d, the attachment piece 8 is hooked on the rear side wall of the prize ball tank b from above, and the screw 9 is screwed from the attachment hole 7 of the attachment piece 8. The prize ball is fastened and fixed to the rear side wall of the prize ball tank b, and the prize ball flowing into the box-shaped body 1 from the introduction opening 2 through the counting supply device d is received by the arc-shaped bottom wall 4. And is discharged from the discharge opening 5 into the prize ball tank b. At this time, the prize ball hits the box-shaped overhanging portion 6 and the falling force is cast off, and at the same time, the prize ball is prevented from jumping up in the prize ball tank b. It can be replenished.

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] By the way, the conventional flow controller e as described above is fixed at only one position with respect to the prize ball tank b.
Due to the impact of the prize sphere flowing into the box-shaped body 1, its fixed state is quickly loosened and moved, and the ball outlet of the counting replenisher d and the introduction opening 2 of the box-shaped body 1 are hampered. was there. Such a problem seems to be easily solved, for example, by matching the box-shaped body 1 with the front and rear width of the prize ball tank b and fixing it at two positions on the front and rear walls. Since the size of each pachinko machine manufacturer is different, there is a disadvantage that it is necessary to prepare a type corresponding to each premium ball tank, which is rather a problem.

The present invention has been made in view of such conventional problems, and an object of the present invention is to firmly fix all the prize ball tanks without making a large change to the conventional flow controller. An object of the present invention is to provide a flow controller for a prize ball tank of a pachinko machine that can maintain the fixed state.

[Means for Solving the Problems] In order to achieve the above object, in the present invention, first to
As shown in FIG. 3, the box-shaped body 1 of the conventional flow force controller e.
The fixing wall plate 11 is provided on the side surface opposite to the side where the discharge opening 5 is formed so as to be slidable in the width direction of the prize ball tank b, and the fixing wall plate 11 is provided in front of the prize ball tank b. It is fixed to the side wall.

[Operation] The fixing wall plate 11 is slid and brought into contact with the inner surface of the front side wall of the prize ball tank b, and the fixing wall plate 11 is fixed to the front side wall of the prize ball tank b with a screw. As a result, the flow force controller e is fixed to the front and rear side walls of the prize ball tank b at two positions, so that the fixed state is maintained.

Embodiment Next, the present invention will be described in more detail with reference to FIGS. That is, the main point of the present invention is that in the conventional flow controller e as described above, the fixing wall plate 11 is provided on the side surface of the box-shaped body 1 opposite to the side surface on which the discharge opening 5 is formed. It is provided so as to be slidable in the width direction of the tank b, and the fixing wall plate 11 is fixed to the front side wall of the prize ball tank b. The fixing wall plate 11 is provided with a fixing piece portion 11a capable of abutting against the inner surface of the front side wall of the prize ball tank b at the end thereof to have an L-shaped plane, and also has a step along the upper and lower side edges of the fixing wall plate 11. The portions 12, 12 are provided, and the step portions 12, 12 are fitted in the grooves of the rail members 13, 13 provided in parallel with the vertical position of the side surface of the box-shaped body 1 so that they can slide. Reference numeral 9 is a mounting hole provided through the fixing piece 11a of the fixing wall plate 11, and 14 is a screw for fixing the fixing piece 11a to the front side wall of the prize ball tank b. The first
In the embodiment shown in FIGS. 3A to 3C, the mounting piece 8 is formed by one wide plate-shaped piece, and one screw 15 is provided on the rear side wall of the prize ball tank b.
It can be fixed with.

The present invention is configured as described above, and as shown in FIG. 3, the fixing wall plate 11 is slid so that the fixing piece portion 11a thereof abuts on the inner surface of the front side wall of the prize ball tank b. 11a is screwed and fixed to the front side wall of the prize ball tank b with a screw 14.

[Advantage of the Invention] As described above, according to the present invention, the flow controller can be fixed at two points, the front side wall and the rear side wall of the prize ball tank. Even if it receives a shock due to the inflow of, it can maintain a firm fixed state without rattling or moving.

Further, since the fixing wall plate 11 fixed to the front side wall of the prize ball tank is slidable, there is an effect that it can be used for any prize ball tank having different sizes.
