Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Field of industrial application] The present invention relates to a winning device mounted on a game board surface of a pachinko machine.

[Prior Art] As is well known, a game board of a pachinko machine is provided with a winning device that accepts a hit ball hit from a launching device and makes the hit ball an effective ball (safe ball). This winning device changes the game depending on whether the winning condition is good or bad and changes the winning condition, which greatly affects the interest in the game. Therefore, many proposals have been made in the past, and various devices have been provided, but the winning device of the present invention is provided with a door that opens and closes at the entrance especially among these devices, and it is possible to win a prize by opening and closing the door. It is related to the prize winning device that becomes or becomes impossible.

Conventionally, there are winglet type and door type devices for changing winning conditions by opening and closing the door. In general, wing-swings rotate left and right around a single fulcrum, which opens and closes the entrance, and catches hit balls that drop out by projecting to the outside to facilitate winning. However, the door type has the door screwed into the opening that opens to the front, and normally the door is erected to close the opening, and when winning is possible, the erected door is tilted forward and the opening is opened. At the same time as opening the door, the door is projected substantially horizontally to the front of the game board to facilitate the catching of the hit ball and greatly relax the winning conditions to achieve a large amount of winning.

The present invention relates to an improvement of the door type winning device, and in particular, the present invention is an improvement of a door provided at an opening serving as a flight entrance.

As mentioned above, the door provided in the conventional opening is normally raised to close the opening, and in this state it is impossible to hit the ball.On the other hand, when the door is tilted forward and opened, the door is opened. In addition to enabling this, the door that has fallen forward is used as a ball receiving table and a guiding table to greatly relax the entry conditions and enable a large amount of prizes, but the door of the conventional prize winning device is narrow, therefore The opening closed by this door had to be narrowed.

That is, the door in the prize winning device generally has a pivotal portion along the lower edge of the opening, and the free upper end is tilted forward with this pivotal portion as a fulcrum, with a slight incline from the horizontal state. It is possible to accept hit balls, but this door must be the space before and after prepared in front of the game board, that is, the distance between the game board and the glass plate covering the front Therefore, the opening closed by this door also follows the size of this door, and it was not possible to make a large opening, especially a wide opening vertically.

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] The present invention has been researched and developed in order to improve the conventional situation in view of the above-mentioned conventional circumstances. When it is closed, it can be completely hidden, and when it is opened, the door is horizontally housed in a narrow space restricted by the game plate and the glass plate to enable the ball to be caught and guided, and the door. The object of the present invention is to provide a winning device for a pachinko machine in which the entire surface of the opening is opened to make it easier to look inside and the movement of a jumping ball can be easily seen.

[Means for Solving the Problems] That is, the present invention has been made based on the above object, and is characterized in that it is free to bend through an opening opening toward the front through a horizontal pivot shaft. Upper and lower door plates pivotally attached to each other, when the door plate is closed, the door plate is flatly extended to close the opening, and when the door plate is opened, the upper and lower door plates are bent around the pivot shaft as a fulcrum. The present invention is to provide a winning device for a pachinko machine in which the door is opened and the upper door plate is projected toward the front of the opening so that a hit ball can jump in.

[Operation] The device of the present invention opens and closes the door mainly in accordance with an instruction from the outside like a conventional general winning device. When an opening instruction is received, the device is moved to a lower door plate by a solenoid or the like. It is transmitted to the upper door plate pivotally attached via the pivot axis.
The upper door plate is pushed down to bend it in a bent shape around the pivot shaft as a fulcrum, and the opening is opened in accordance with this bending. At the same time, the upper door plate is projected forward so that the hit ball can be received. When closing, the solenoid or spring force is used to pull up the upper door plate, and along with this, the refraction with the lower door plate is extended to close the opening.

Next, an embodiment of the winning device according to the present invention will be described in detail and its features will be clarified.

[Embodiment] FIG. 1 is a front view in a closed state, FIG. 2 is a right side view of the same as above, FIG. 3 is a right side view of a central longitudinal section of the same as above, and FIG. 4 is a front view of an open state, FIG. 5 is a right side view of the central longitudinal section of each other.

In the drawings, reference numeral 1 is a mounting base of a winning device having a horizontally long opening 2 in the center, and 3 is a box-shaped frame having a hollow interior integrally formed behind the mounting base and provided with a ball receiving passage 4. The body 5a and 5b are upper and lower door plates provided to close the opening 2.

In this embodiment, the door plates 5a and 5b are arranged so that the opening 2 is almost vertically arranged.
It is formed into a horizontally long plate that is equally divided, and bearing portions 6 and 7 are provided alternately at the upper and lower edge portions of the both, and the pivot shaft 8 is inserted so as to horizontally penetrate the bearing portions. It is pivotally attached in a screw shape and assembled into one. Then, shafts 9 are provided at both ends along the lower edge of the lower door plate 5b, and are axially attached to bearing portions 10 provided on the back surfaces of the left and right lower end portions of the opening 2. The bearing portion 10 serves as a fulcrum for the lower door. A plate 5b is attached so that it can be freely opened and closed, and pins 11 are projectingly provided from the left and right ends along the upper edge of the door plate 5a on the other side, and the pins 11 are provided along the left and right edges of the opening 2 to form the box-shaped frame 3 It is held by being slidably engaged with slits 12 provided vertically on the left and right side wall surfaces of the above.

Reference numeral 13 is a solenoid for opening and closing the door plates 5a and 5b, and 14 is a swing arm for transmitting the operation of the solenoid to the door plate.

The swing arm 14 is swingably attached to one side wall of the frame 3 about a shaft 15 as a fulcrum, and a plunger 16 of a solenoid 13 is provided in the middle of its length.
And a pin 11 slid into the slit 12 is engaged with a forked portion 17 formed at the free swing end, and a solenoid 13
And the door board.

In the case of this embodiment, a spring 18 is contracted to the plunger 16 of the solenoid, and the plunger is always raised by the urging force of this spring, and the pin which engages with the swing arm 14 is accompanied by this.
The upper door plate 5a is pulled up via 11 to close the opening 2.

In this state, there is an opening command from the outside as in the conventional winning device, and when the signal causes the solenoid 13 to be excited and the plunger 16 to move downward, the swing arm 14 swings to move the pin.
11 is pushed down by the slit 12 as a guide.

Figures 4 and 5 show the upper and lower door plates 5a and 5b by pushing down this pin.
Shows the state in which the opening 2 is opened by bending the hip around the pivot point (pivot axis 8) as a fulcrum, and when the pin 11 descends, the upper and lower door plates are guided by this and the upper and lower door plates bend. Then, the pivot portion is projected forward and folded in two to open the entire opening 2.

Then, the door plates 5a and 5b (mainly the upper door plate 5a) that are bent and protrude forward form a pedestal, and catch the fall of the hit ball and guide it into the opening. In the figure, 19 is a glass plate.

When the solenoid 13 is demagnetized by the elapse of a set time or by receiving a release command, the door plate thus opened returns to the closed state by the action of the spring 18 again.

FIGS. 6 and 7 show that the upper and lower door plates 5a of the upper part of the opening are made to project inward with the bending directions of the pivotal parts of the upper and lower door plates 5a and 5b reversed from the above embodiment. It is another embodiment in which the pedestal is projected forward.

The door plate in this embodiment is a door plate above the lower door plate 5b.
5a has a large width in the height direction, and accordingly, the position of the pin 11 is moved to the substantially central portion of the side edge portion in order to project the upper half portion forward.

[Effects of the Invention] In the winning device of the present invention, the bending directions of the pivotally connecting portions of the upper and lower door plates are different from each other as described in the above two embodiments. On the other hand, the upper and lower door plates are closed by two upper and lower door plates, and the ball is struck by opening the upper door plate by folding and opening the door plate when opening. It forms a pedestal and allows it to jump into the opening, and it functions exactly the same as the conventional winning device consisting of a single plate, while in the present invention it is folded and protrudes forward The upper door plate 5a corresponds to one door plate of the conventional winning device, and the lower door plate 5b is connected to the upper door plate 5a. Therefore, when the door plate is closed, the opening part of the corresponding door plate of the lower door plate is closed. You will be able to.

Therefore, according to the present invention, the opening 2 of the winning device can be enlarged in accordance with the substantial enlargement of the door plate, and it is possible to provide the winning device which is largely opened when it is opened.

By opening the opening of this winning device to a large extent, the player can feel the ease of jumping into the winning ball, and also observe how the effective ball jumped through this opening moves inside the frame. In particular, in the case of a device in which a plurality of passages 4 are formed inside the frame and the award ball conditions are further changed depending on how the passages are selected, the gate can be more visually enjoyed. This is advantageous because it can.
