Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a thin ball lending machine which is mounted between pachinko machines and discharges balls in response to the input of money.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art A conventional thin ball lending machine is disclosed in, for example, Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 51-41036. That is, the publication discloses a thin ball lending machine that is mounted between pachinko machines and has a ball ejection port for ejecting ball rental balls according to the insertion of bills or coins on the front surface. There is.

[0003]

However, in such a conventional thin ball lending machine, one thin ball lending machine is shared by the pachinko machines on both sides and is not connected to the pachinko machine. Therefore, when a player rents a rental ball during a game, it is necessary to once receive the rental ball from the ball exit of the thin ball rental machine and transfer the received rental ball to the bowl of the pachinko machine during the game. However, when the amount of balls to be rented is large, it has to be divided into several times, which is complicated and detracts from the interest of the game.

The present invention has been made in view of such conventional problems, and a thin ball lending machine which can easily and surely transfer borrowed balls to a pachinko machine without scattering them. Is intended to provide.

[0005]

The gist of the present invention for achieving the above object is to provide a thin ball which is mounted between pachinko machines and discharges the rental balls counted by a ball counter in response to the input of money. In the renting machine, a ball introduction arm is provided that is connected to the ball discharge port of the ball renting machine main body to receive the ball rental, and the discharge port at the tip of the ball introduction arm reaches the ball trays of the pachinko machines on both sides to leak the rental ball A thin ball lender characterized in that the ball introducing arm is pivotally attached to the body of the ball lending machine so that the ball introducing arm can be pivoted as much as possible, and a detection switch for detecting the oscillation of the ball introducing arm and activating the ball counter is provided. There is an opportunity.

[0006]

[Function] When a coin is thrown into the thin ball lending machine, the corresponding ball is counted by the ball counter. However, when the ball introducing arm is upright at the neutral position, it is immediately counted and paid out. Absent. In such a case, the player shakes the ball introduction arm so that the discharge port at the tip reaches the bowl of the pachinko machine in which he is playing. Then, the detection switch detects the swing of the ball introducing arm, and the ball counter is activated by this detection to release a predetermined number of balls, and the released balls are guided to the introducing arm and flow out to the bowl. To do.

When the ball introducing arm has already been shaken and the discharge port at the tip reaches the ball dish of the pachinko machine, the detection switch detects the swing of the ball introducing arm, and therefore the thin ball lending machine. When money is thrown in, the ball rental corresponding to it is counted by the ball counter and immediately released, and the ball rental is guided to the introduction arm and flows out to the bowl.

If the ball introduction arm is shaken and the ball rental balls are not discharged unless the discharge port at the tip reaches the ball tray of the pachinko machine, the ball rental balls are inadvertently discharged and flow out, and the ball rental balls dissipate. There is nothing to do.

[0009]

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. 1 and 2 show an embodiment of the present invention. The thin ball lending machine 20 is mounted between the pachinko machines 10 and 10 and releases the ball lending according to the input of money.
On the front of the ball lending machine main body 21, there is a trouble indicator light 21a, a vertical bill insertion slot 21b, a coin insertion slot 21c, and a ball ejection slot 25.
Is provided. A ball counter 26, ball guides 27a and 27c, a supply pipe 27b are provided in the ball discharge port 25.
Are connected.

A ball introducing arm 30 which is connected to the ball discharge port 25 of the ball lending machine main body 21 to receive the ball rental is provided pivotally attached to the ball lending machine main body 21. The ball introducing arm 30 has a base end 31.
1 is pivotally attached to the ball lending machine main body 21 so as to be swingable to either the left or right as shown by the imaginary line in FIG. Is biased to the neutral position indicated by the solid line.

A ball rental inlet 32 is provided on the inner wall of the base 31 of the ball introducing arm 30, and the ball outlet 2 of the ball lending machine main body 21 is opened.
5 is connected to the ball rental entrance 32. Ball introduction arm 30
Is disposed at a position where the discharge port 33 at the tip reaches the bowls 11, 11 of the pachinko machines 10, 10 on both sides so that the rental balls can flow out. A detection switch 26a is provided which activates the ball counter 26 by detecting the swing of the ball introducing arm 30b while looking at the base end portion 31.

A base end portion 31 of the ball introducing arm 30 is provided with a ball rental outlet 35 that normally closes the bottom of the ball introducing arm 30 and allows the ball to flow out and be received when pushed up. . When pushed up, the ball introduction arm 3
It is arranged so that a signal similar to that obtained when 0 is reached reaches the ball counter 26.

Next, the operation will be described.

When money is thrown into the thin ball lending machine 20, the corresponding ball rental is calculated, but the operation of the ball counter 26 differs depending on the state of the ball introducing arm 30. When the ball introducing arm 30 is upright at the neutral position, the ball counter 26 does not operate, and the rental balls are not immediately counted and paid out.

A player who throws money into the thin ball lending machine 20 with the ball introducing arm 30 standing upright at the neutral position shakes the ball introducing arm 30 and the pachinko machine 1 he / she is playing.
The discharge port 33 at the tip is made to reach the zero dish 11. Then, the detection switch 26a detects the swing of the ball introducing arm 30, and the ball counter 26 is activated by this detection to release a predetermined number of balls, and the released balls are guided to the introducing arm 30. It flows out from the discharge port 33 to the bowl.

The thin ball lending machine 20 with the ball introduction arm already shaken and the discharge port at the tip reaching the ball tray of the pachinko machine.
When the money is thrown in, since the detection switch 26a has already detected the swing of the ball introducing arm 30, when the money is thrown in the thin ball lending machine 20, the ball counter 26 counts the corresponding ball rental. Immediately discharged, the rental balls are guided by the introduction arm 30 and flow out to the bowl 11.

The ball introducing arm 30 is shaken to move the pachinko machine 10
Since the rental balls are not discharged unless the discharge port 33 at the tip reaches the ball tray 11, the rental balls are not discharged carelessly and flow out, and the rental balls are not scattered.

The ball introducing arm 30 is used for any pachinko machine 1
Since it is urged to the neutral position where it is not swung to the 0 or 10 side, if the ball introducing arm 30 is opened after receiving the ball lending, the ball returns to the neutral position. When a person who is not a player of the pachinko machines 10 and 10 on both sides is allowed to lend a ball, the ball counter 26 operates and the ball lends out when the ball is pushed under the ball rental outlet 35 and pushed up. You can receive ball rental regardless of the pachinko machine 10, 10.

[0019]

According to the thin ball lending machine of the present invention, the discharge port at the tip of the ball introducing arm reaches the bowls of the pachinko machines on both sides so that the ball can be let out, and it stands upright at the neutral position. In this case, the ball lending is configured not to be discharged from the ball counter, so if the ball introduction arm is tilted, the ball lending can be transferred directly to the left and right pachinko machines without being scattered, and without hindering the progress of the game. You can receive ball rental to
An entertaining game can be provided.
