Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a windmill for a gaming machine, which is rotatably mounted on a gaming board surface of a gaming machine such as a pachinko machine, and more particularly to an improvement thereof.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, as a windmill for a game machine of this kind,
For example, as shown in FIGS. 4A and 4B, as a windmill used in a pachinko gaming machine, a simple disk-shaped windmill,
A decorative windmill is known in which a decorative convex portion is provided on the front surface and an electric lamp is provided on the back surface. These windmills add color to the game board surface, play a role of entertaining the eyes of the player, and play a role by changing the game balls hitting the windmill by rotating them to random directions on the game board. I am also responsible.

[0003]

However, the above wind turbine is
In both cases, the wind turbine main body rotates around the center spindle, and the rotation direction is limited to forward and reverse rotation, so there is a problem that the visual interest is also limited and the dispersion direction of the game balls is also limited to some extent. . The present invention is intended to solve the above-mentioned problems, and to provide a wind turbine for a gaming machine that increases visual enjoyment due to diversification of rotation and enables diversification of distribution of gaming balls. To aim.

[0004]

In order to achieve the above object, the structural features of the invention according to claim 1 are: a wind turbine mount mounted on a game board surface of a gaming machine; and a substantially circular base plate. A blade part consisting of a plurality of small pieces radially projected from the center to the front surface at substantially the same central angle is provided on the base plate, and a central wind turbine rotatably attached to the center of the wind turbine mount via a spindle. A plurality of peripheral wind turbines rotatably attached to the peripheral support shafts arranged so that the central angles thereof are substantially equal to each other are provided between the small pieces of the blades of the central wind turbine, and the central wind turbine is provided by the collision of the game balls. And the peripheral windmills rotate independently and independently of each other, and the game balls that collide are scattered in random directions.

Further, the structural feature of the invention according to claim 2 is that in the wind turbine for gaming machine according to claim 1,
A lamp mounting board integrally mounted on the wind turbine mount is provided behind the wind turbine mount.

[0006]

As described above, the invention according to claim 1 is configured, and when the game ball hits the central wind turbine or the peripheral wind turbine, the central wind turbine or the peripheral wind turbine itself rotates about the spindle. , At that time, other peripheral wind turbines or central wind turbines that did not hit the game ball may or may not rotate. In addition, there are cases where the windmill hit by the game ball and the windmill not hit by the game ball have the same rotation direction and the opposite rotation direction. That is, since one wind turbine is composed of a large central wind turbine and a plurality of small peripheral wind turbines around the large wind turbine, when the game ball hits, the combination of rotations of both wind turbines and the combination of rotation directions change variously. , The visual interest is significantly enhanced. Further, since the central wind turbine and the peripheral wind turbines having different rotation axes rotate in various ways, the dispersion direction of the game balls also changes slightly depending on the position of the wind turbines, and thus the variety of movements of the game balls can be obtained. .

Further, by constructing the invention according to claim 2 as described above, the visual enjoyment of the wind turbine is further enhanced by adding the blinking display of the lamp to the variety of rotation of both wind turbines. .
