It is supported by a slide guide provided on the inner surface of the side wall of the rear case 21 and slidably faces the fixing member 42 through a slit formed in the rear wall of the rear case 21. In addition, a gentle downward slope is provided on the upper surface of the stopper 44 toward the front edge side.

The stopper 44 as described above slides in the front-rear direction with the actuation solenoid 45 as the actuation source 43. For this reason, the stopper 44 has a box-shaped connecting portion 56 at the rear edge, and the driving solenoid 36 is fixed to the connecting portion 56 so as to be orthogonal to the attached solenoid mounting plate 37. The plunger 45p of the solenoid 45 is connected. Therefore, when the operating solenoid 45 is demagnetized, the stopper 44 retracts backward by the return spring 45s and a gap W wider than the diameter of the sphere is generated between the fixed member 42 and the stopper 44. However, when the actuating solenoid 45 is excited, the stopper 44 advances and the ball can be stored on the upper surface of the flange 51. In this embodiment, the cutout 52
Three balls are arranged on each of the left and right sides, and a total of six balls are set to be stored in an arc shape. Further, a protective cover 57 of the actuating solenoid 45 is fixed to the rear surface of the solenoid mounting portion 37, and a relay board 58 on which connectors C of various electric wirings are arranged is attached to the protective cover 57. .

On the other hand, in the center of the lower edge of the opening portion 18 of the mounting substrate 20, a special winning opening 59 that can create a special profit state by further entering the balls that have flowed into the large winning opening 22 is formed, and the special winning opening 59 is formed. A general winning opening 60 that is a normal winning is formed by further entering the balls that have flowed into the big winning opening 22 on the left and right of the winning opening 59. Therefore, in this embodiment, the lower flange portion 19 'of the mounting substrate 20 is
A ball receiving piece 61 having a rearward downward slope is extended to the upper edge of the ball, and a special winning ball frame 62 whose end face is approximately U-shaped when viewed from the front is provided in the center portion in the width direction of the ball receiving piece 61. , A special winning ball passage opening 63 is formed in the lower flange portion 19 'of the lower end portion of the frame 62, and a ball which has passed through the special winning ball passage opening 63 is guided to the lateral side of the rear surface of the mounting substrate 20. The winning ball guide gutter 64 is extended to the back side of the mounting substrate 20. In addition, on the back side of the mounting board 20, a general winning ball guiding trough 65 is formed which guides the ball received by the ball receiving piece 61 to the rear of the mounting board 20 so as not to join the ball of the special winning ball guiding trough 64. To do.

Further, a bottomed lower decorative body 66 having an open upper surface and a rear surface is additionally provided on the front surface of the lower flange portion 19 'of the mounting board 20. The lamp L ₃ ... etc. inside the lower decorative body 66 is Yes and Osamu設and emit light L ₃ ... etc., to enhance the decorative effect shining diamond cut or the like formed on the inner surface.

Then, a continuation switch 67 for detecting a ball that has entered the special winning opening 59 is exposed on the downstream side of the special winning ball guiding trough 64, and a special winning opening 59 is located on the downstream side of the general winning ball guiding trough 65. And facing the 10 count switch 68 that detects the ball that has flowed into the general winning opening 60, the number of balls that have flowed into the big winning opening 22 is counted, and the 10 count display 27 provided on the armor portion 24 indicates the ball to the player. Inflow status is displayed visually.

In the illustrated embodiment, the upper edge of the lower decorative body 66 is a ball receiving member.
When 29 is in a standing state, the special winning opening 22 and the game section 8 are defined and extend upward so that the balls do not flow into the special winning opening 22 from between the ball receiving member 29 and the upper edge. . In other words, the ball is a big winning hole unless the ball receiving member 29 is turned sideways.
Cannot flow to 22.

Further, the bottom plate 69 of the rear case 21 is inclined downward toward the front so as to guide the ball flowing into the special winning opening 22 to the special winning opening 59 and the general winning opening 60. Therefore, the sphere storage means
The ball discharged from 41 or directly falling on the bottom plate 69 rolls forward on the bottom plate 69.
From the front edge of 69 flows into the special winning opening 59 or the general winning opening 60. In addition, the ball taken in by the ball receiving member 29 is directly transferred to the general winning port 6 from the ball drop port 49 opening to the rear of the front plate portion 42f of the fixing member 42.
It may fall to 0.

According to the winning device 1 as described above, when the actuating source 43 is actuated, that is, the actuating solenoid 45 is excited and the stopper 44 is slid forward, the gap W with the fixing member 42 is narrowed and the collar portion is formed. A predetermined number of spheres can be stored in a semi-circular shape on the upper surface of 51. Therefore, the number of balls P'exceeding a predetermined number is even larger.
When it flows into 22, the ball P ′ that flows in later will rest on the stored ball P. However, the conventional sphere storage means 41
As described above, when the sphere P is tightly stored, the sphere P ′ that flows in later will overflow beyond the stored sphere, but in the present invention, the sphere P ′ that flows in later will be The stored ball P is pushed out. That is, the eighth
As indicated by the chain line in Fig. (A), the sphere P'flowed in later.
When is placed on the storage sphere P, the gravity of this sphere is decomposed in the tangential direction, the lateral component force pushes the storage sphere P laterally, and the sphere P ′ that flows in later is between the storage sphere P. interrupt. Therefore, the stored ball P that has lost its place overcomes the locking means 53 and falls onto the bottom plate 69. Therefore, the fall timing of the storage ball P randomly changes without depending on the actuation timing of the stopper 44, and it becomes difficult for the player to predict the fall timing. Therefore, the player can always expect to win the special winning opening 59. still,
Even if a predetermined number of spheres are not stored in the sphere storage means 41, the stored spheres can be dropped depending on the downstream force and position of the spheres that flow in later, and it becomes difficult to predict the fall time. Entertaining games are possible.

Although FIG. 8 (A) shows a small projection 53a as the locking means 53, this locking means 53 may be any other means as long as it can lock a ball, for example, a shallow recess shown in FIG. 8 (B). It may be 53b or the like.

Further, in this embodiment, a movable body 70 capable of changing the flow direction of the sphere is provided in the special winning opening 22. The movable body 70 is a motor bracket attached to the lower side of the bottom plate 69 of the rear case 21.
The output shaft of a stepping motor 72, which is fixed to 71 and is rotatable in the reverse direction, is fixed via a lever member 73, and the side of the fixing member 42 is laterally fixed at a predetermined angle by a pulse supplied to the stepping motor 72. It swings intermittently along the edge.
The movable body 70 has a receiving portion 70 'whose upper surface and front surface are open and whose bottom portion is inclined downward so that the ball received from above is discharged from the front. Further, the stop means 74 composed of a micro switch faces the end of the rotation path of the lever member 73. The movable body 70 holds the sphere received up to a position communicating with the cutout 52 formed in the fixing member 42 of the sphere storing means 41, and the fixing member 42 is arranged so that the sphere can be released from the cutout 52.
It faces a little below the rear edge of the collar portion 51 of. Therefore, the sphere received by the movable body 70 at the lateral position of the fixed member 42 is
And since it is transferred to the center by the receiving unit 73 and is released from the center, the probability of winning at the special winning opening 59 is increased.

The outer surface of the rear case 21 of the winning device 1 described above is subjected to a process of diffusely reflecting light such as a mountain cut, and when the winning device 1 is mounted on the game board 6, the rear case is provided in the mounting opening formed in the ball gathering cover 75. 21 is located in this rear case 21
Is illuminated from the surroundings by lamp groups L _{4 to} L ₉ arranged around the mounting opening. Therefore, when the lamp group L ... Is lit or blinked, the entire special winning opening 22 shines and the decoration effect is significantly increased. Further, if configured as described above, the configuration of the winning device 1 can be simplified, the winning device 1 can be easily replaced, and the back mechanism such as the ball gathering cover 75 can be commonly used, which is economical. There is also an effect.

In the winning device 1 of this embodiment, the rear case
The upper half of 21 is laterally bulged, and this bulging portion 21 'is partitioned by a transparent partition plate 76, so that from the player's point of view, the large winning opening 22 looks wide and the ball is easy to enter. You can have the expectation of being one.

On the other hand, in addition to the lamp group L, the continuation switch 67, the 10-count switch 68, and the starting opening switch are provided on the ball gathering cover 75.
77 ... etc. Further, as shown in FIG. 6, relay boards 78 are arranged at appropriate positions of the ball gathering cover 75 or the rear cover to electrically connect the various indicator lights 17a and 17b and various switches with the connector C ... The relay board 78a on the upper left is collectively wired to an electric control device (not shown).

Next, the game of the pachinko machine 2 provided with the winning device 1 having the above-described structure will be described. When the pachinko machine 2 is turned on, the ball receiving member 29 facing the side edge of the special winning opening 22 stands up. The special winning opening 22 is defined from the game section 8 and the ball storing means
The stopper 44 of 41 is retracted and the ball cannot be stored. In addition, the movable body 70 provided in the special winning opening 22 starts swinging, and the movable body 70 temporarily stops at the center and moves to the left and right approximately.
It oscillates intermittently for about 7.6 seconds in one cycle with an angle width of 48 degrees.

When the hit ball shot by the player enters the first starting opening 12a,
The first starting port switch 77a facing the first starting port 12a is turned on to detect this sphere.

When the first starting opening switch 77a detects a ball and is turned on, an electric control device (not shown) causes the first starting opening switch 77a to operate.
About 0.8 seconds after the turning on of 77a, the drive solenoid 36 of the drive mechanism is excited to open and close the ball receiving member 29 twice at intervals of about 0.7 seconds. Further, when a ball enters the first starting opening 12a,
The electric control device temporarily moves the movable body 70 to the right end, then reduces the swing range to 60 degrees, and increases the speed to 2 seconds per cycle. Further, the electric control device energizes the actuating solenoid 45 to move the stopper 44 forward. At this time, the actuating solenoid 45 starts to be excited in synchronization with the drive solenoid 36, and remains in the excited state for 0.5 seconds after the drive solenoid 36 is demagnetized. That is, the sphere storage means 41 is activated during the opening and closing of the ball receiving member 29 and for 0.5 seconds after the ball receiving member 29 is closed to store the sphere. On the other hand, when the ball shot by the player enters the left and right second starting ports 12b and the second starting port switch 77b is turned on to detect the ball, the electric control device uses the second starting port switch 77b. After a lapse of about 0.8 seconds from turning on, the drive solenoid 36 is excited to open the ball receiving member 29 once for about 0.4 seconds. At this time, the movable body 70 accelerates its movement in the same manner as when the movable body 70 enters the first starting opening switch 12a. Further, the stopper 44 moves in synchronization with the ball receiving member 29. That is, the stopper 44 advances and the balls can be stored only while the ball receiving member 29 is open.

When the ball receiving member 29 rotates and the special winning opening 22 communicates with the game section 8 and the ball flowing down the game board 6 is taken in by the ball receiving member 29, the ball rolls on the upper surface of the fixing member 42. Although it moves and flows into the special winning opening 22, a mountain portion 47 and a valley portion 48 are formed in the fixing member 42, and the front plate portion 42f of the fixing member 42 has a rear edge. Since the ball drop port 49 is opened, some balls drop directly from the ball drop port 49 to the general winning port 60 located below. Then, the ball rolling on the fixing member 42 falls on the bottom plate 69 from the gap W between the fixing member 42 and the stopper 44, and rolls on the bottom plate 69 to cause the special winning opening 59 or the general winning opening 60. Flow into.

When the ball that has flown into the special winning opening 22 as described above is lucky enough to enter the special winning opening 59, the continuation switch 67 detects this ball and it is possible to shift to a special game that is in a profitable state for the player. .

When the special game starts, the ball receiving member 29 immediately stands up and closes the special winning opening 22 for about 3 seconds, and then newly opens and closes 18 times in 29.6 seconds. The opening and closing will stop when 10 balls flow into the special winning opening 22 without waiting for the passage of time. When the special game starts and the ball receiving member 29 stands up and closes the special winning opening 22, the movable body 70 returns to the center and stops. Further, the actuating solenoid 45 of the sphere storing means 41 is excited to move the movable body 70 forward so that the sphere can be stored between the fixed member 42. At this time, it vibrates finely about every 0.3 seconds. And this movable body 7
For 0, the ball receiving member 29 opens and closes 15 times, or the ball storing means 41 counts three balls that are not stored, or the ball enters the special winning opening 59 again and the continuation switch 67 operates to newly start. When a special game is started, the operating solenoid 45 is demagnetized to release the storage. When a predetermined number of, for example, six spheres are stored in the sphere storage means 41 and further spheres flow in, the stored spheres are locked by the spheres that have flowed in after that.
The movable body 70 pushed out over 53 and stopped at the center releases it to the center of the bottom plate 69, and rolls forward in the center of the bottom plate 69 to facilitate winning a special winning opening 59 located in the center. In addition, when the ball receiving member 29 is opened and closed 15 times, or three balls are counted, or a new special game is started, the movable body 70 starts to move, and the range of about 60 degrees is one cycle. Shake in 2 seconds.

The valid time of the continuation switch 67 continues until 3 seconds have elapsed after the ball receiving member 29 has been opened and closed a predetermined number of times or closed for 10 counts. Then, the ball receiving member 29 is opened and closed 18 times or
When 10 balls flow into the special winning opening 22, the opening / closing operation of the ball receiving member 29 ends, but when the balls enter the special winning opening 59 again during the opening / closing operation, the above operation is regarded as one cycle and the next cycle is performed. The cycle can be updated up to 8 times. That is, the ball enters the special winning opening 59 and the continuation switch 67
When is turned on, the ball receiving member 29 immediately stands up and closes the special winning opening 22 for about 3 seconds, then shifts to a new cycle and opens and closes the ball receiving member 29 18 times. Incidentally, when the stopper 44 of the ball storing means 41 is in a state of being able to store the balls by advancing,
When the ball enters the special winning opening 59, the operating member is about 3
For a second, that is, the closing time of the ball receiving member 29, the storage of the balls is released. Further, at this time, the movable body 70 reciprocates to the right end in one second from the state of being stopped at the center, and stops at the center. On the other hand, when the stopper 44 is in the retracted state, that is, when the ball 44 enters the special winning opening 59 when the ball storing means 41 is not operating, the stopper 44 retains the retracted state and the movable body 70 once It oscillates slightly to the left, then greatly oscillates to the right end, then stops at the center. The stopper 44 converts the ball that has been operated for about 3 seconds into a state in which it can be stored until the 7th cycle, but cannot store the ball because it does not operate after 8 cycles. The movable body 70 reciprocates after 8 cycles.

Then, a continuous indicator 40 provided on the internal decorative body 38 so that it is possible to confirm what cycle the opening / closing operation is currently performed.
Is displayed visually to the player.

In addition, when the final cycle of the special game, that is, the opening and closing operation of the ball receiving member 29 for the ninth time starts, the continuation switch 67 becomes invalid, the ball receiving member 29 is closed a predetermined number of times or 10 counts, and then the first start is newly performed. Continue switch until the ball 12a or the second starting port 12b enters the ball and the opening / closing operation of the ball receiving member 29 restarts.
67 stops functioning. In this way, the valid time of the continuation switch 67 is limited when the opening and closing of the ball receiving member 29 by the predetermined number of opening and closing of the ball receiving member 29 or 10 counts is completed in the above continuous game. In addition, if the effective time of the continuation switch 67 is lengthened, the game becomes easy to continue, and there is a risk of inciting euphoria.

According to the winning device 1 as described above, the ball can be stored in the special winning opening 22 depending on the operating state of the ball storing means 41 and the position of the movable body 70, and the sphere flows into the special winning opening 22 later. It is possible to release the stored sphere by the sphere, which makes it difficult to predict when the stored sphere will be released.
It is possible to make it easy to win the ball released by the special winning opening 59.

Next, the above-mentioned game will be explained from the control means side. In FIG. 14, 79 is used for data calculation and the like.
