2. Description of the Related Art In a pachinko machine, a player operates a hit ball handle to hit a ball, and when the hit ball enters a winning opening, a prize ball is released or the opening / closing winning opening is opened for a predetermined time. This gives the player a favorable situation.

Also, in the pachinko machine, the winning holes where the hit ball is easy to enter are different depending on each machine. Therefore, the player searches for a winning opening in which the hit ball is easy to enter by intuition, and adjusts the power to hit the ball so that the hit ball concentrates there.

Further, by turning the hit ball handle, the force for hitting the ball is adjusted, but it is delicate and it is difficult to grasp the correct position. On the other hand, however, once you get the right position, there is a possibility that you will continue to win the prize, which is what makes the pachinko game interesting.

In addition, when the player hits the correct position at which the hit ball easily hits the target winning opening, he may want to aim at another winning opening. In such a case, in the conventional pachinko machine, if the position of the ball striking handle is changed to another position, it cannot be accurately returned to the original position again. I couldn't.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The gist of the present invention is to fix a hollow mounting shaft at the center of a fixed portion with an enlarged grip and to rotate a ball striking rod on the hollow mounting shaft. It is freely inserted, and one end side of the ball striking rod is connected to the center of the disc part of the ball striking handle composed of the disc part and the tab part, and the disc part and the tab part are provided between the ball striking handle and the fixing part. The position memory handle consisting of is rotatable in a direction orthogonal to the ball striking rod, and when the position memory handle is rotated in the direction of striking the ball, the ball striking handle is also rotated in the same direction at the same time. A ball hitting device of a pachinko machine in which a cap-shaped cover body is attached to the outside of the ball hitting handle.

[0008]

Next, the operation of the present invention will be described. When the position memory handle is turned, the ball hitting handle also turns in the same direction, and the ball is hit. Then, when the ball is turned to a position where it is easy for the ball to enter the target winning opening, make fine adjustments there, grab the correct position, and stop at that position. As a result, the position memory handle is retained in the correct position.

Further, if the position memory handle is fixed at a fixed position in this way, then the ball hitting handle is further rotated in the direction of increasing the force for hitting the ball and then returned to its original position. When you do that, you can get it back exactly.
