Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To invariably and smoothly guide balls backward even when the balls are bounced by providing a wall section preventing the shot balls becoming winning balls from being brought into contact with the tip lower section of a plunger on the lower face of the bridge section of a rocking lever locking the tip lower section of the plunger. SOLUTION: Balls entering between opening/closing vanes and becoming winning balls (x) are dropped into a chucker 5 and guided to the back face of a game board (b) through a ball inlet 2. Even when the balls passing between the opening/closing vanes obliquely opened in truncated cherron shape are bounced upward at the bottom section 5b of the chucker 5 or a guide piece 3, the balls collide with a tongue piece (wall section), and their contact with a plunger 13 is cut off. The winning balls (x) collide with the wall section 20 and are dropped without being attracted to the magnetized plunger 13, and they are surely moved backward. Even when the shot balls continuously enter between the opening/closing vanes to become the winning balls (x), a wining ball receiver is smoothly operated without hindering the transit of the succeeding balls and causing ball plugging.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a pair of opening / closing blades that stand up to make it difficult to hit a ball, or tilt in an inverted C-shape to easily enter a ball, and control the rising and tilting of the opening / closing blades. The present invention relates to a prize ball receiving device of a pachinko machine provided with a solenoid.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 7-30050 discloses a conventional pachinko machine receiving a prize ball in relation to the present applicant. The prize ball receiver is set up in a substantially parallel manner to make it difficult to hit a ball, or to tilt in an inverted C shape to make it easier to hit a ball, and controls the rising and tilting of the opening and closing blade. This is a configuration including a solenoid that performs

[0003]

In the above-mentioned winning ball receiving device, the ball is magnetized rarely at the moment when the ball passing between the open / close blades in the tilted position has momentum and bounces upward. A phenomenon in which the plunger is directly absorbed by the plunger and does not fall occurs, and the subsequent ball is prevented from passing. Therefore, it has been an issue to solve such a problem.

Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide a function for always guiding a ball smoothly backward even when the ball passing between the opening and closing blades in a tilting position has momentum and bounces near the ball entrance. The object of the present invention is to provide a prize ball receiver having the following.

[0005]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a pair of opening / closing blades that stand up to make it difficult to enter a ball, or tilt in an inverted C shape to easily enter a ball. In the winning ball receiver having a solenoid for controlling the rising and tilting of the opening and closing blade, a ball inlet for guiding a hit ball backward is provided below a mounting plate rotatably supporting the opening and closing blade. An interlocking piece projecting from the ball inlet is provided below the axis of the swinging lever, and a swinging lever is swingably supported by a supporting piece projecting from the back surface of the mounting plate, and a link formed at the front end of the swinging lever. The leading end of the interlocking piece is loosely fitted in the mating groove,
The lower end of the plunger of the solenoid attached to the support piece is engaged with the bridging portion of the swinging lever, and the lower surface of the bridging portion is not touched by the hit ball serving as a winning ball with the lower end of the plunger. It is characterized in that a wall portion is provided.

[0006]

In the winning ball receiver constructed as above, the lower end of the plunger of the solenoid is covered by the wall of the swing lever. However, if a ball that passes between the open / close blades in the inverted C-shaped tilting position bounces upward near the ball inlet, the ball loses contact with the plunger at the wall portion, and the Falling on the wall without adsorbing to the plunger. Therefore, according to the winning ball receiving device, it is possible to reliably prevent the ball from adsorbing to the above-described conventional plunger, and the ball passing between the opening and closing blades in the tilting posture has momentum. Even in the case of bouncing, there is an effect that the ball is always smoothly guided backward.

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. 1 is a partially cutaway front view, FIG. 2 is a plan view, FIG. 3 is a side view cut along line AA of FIG. 1, FIG. 4 is a perspective view of a swing lever, and FIG. FIG. 6 is a cut-away side view of the state of FIG.

In the figure, 1 is a pachinko machine (not shown)
Is a mounting plate to be attached to the front surface of the game board b, and a ball entrance 2 for guiding the winning ball x to the back surface of the game board b is provided in the lower portion thereof,
A guide piece 3 protruding rearward from a lower edge of the ball inlet 2 and a support piece 4 for attaching a solenoid 11 and a swing lever 15 to be described later are formed on the back surface. On the front surface of the mounting plate 1, a pair of opening and closing blades 8, 8 are rotatably supported by shafts 7, 7 passed between the front plate 6 of the chuck 5 and the mounting plate 1.

The opening / closing blades 8, 8 have their lower protrusions 9,
9 is held against the corner wall portions 5a, 5a of the chucker 5 to maintain the state of standing substantially parallel to FIGS. 1 and 3, and from below the stoppers 6a, 6a protruding from the inner surface of the front plate 6. It is provided so as to maintain the inverted posture of the inverted C shape shown in FIGS. In addition, the opening / closing blades 8 and 8 have shafts 7 and 7, respectively.
At the lower part, interlocking pieces 10, 10 projecting from the ball inlet 2 are provided. The bottom 5b of the chucker 5 is connected to the guide piece 3 and is provided so that the winning balls x passing between the opening and closing blades 8 and 8 flow smoothly to the back of the game board b.

The solenoid 11 having the plunger 13 which is sucked inside against the elasticity of the spring 12 when energized,
The bracket 14 is attached to the support piece 4. 2 and 3, the plunger 13 is pressed by the spring 12 against the contact piece 1a protruding from the back surface of the support plate 1. As shown in FIG.

As shown in FIG. 4, the swing lever 15 is integrally formed by connecting a pair of side pieces 16 and 16 having a shaft 17 protruding concentrically to the outside at a bridging portion 18. Bridge 1
8, a gap 19 for locking the lower end of the plunger 13 is provided.
And a tongue piece 20 is formed on the lower surface of the center as a wall to prevent a hit ball serving as a winning ball x from touching the lower end of the plunger 13. At the front ends of the side pieces 16, engagement grooves 21, 21 for loosely fitting the tips of the interlocking pieces 10, 10 are formed. As shown in FIGS. 3 and 6, the swing lever 15 is swingably supported by the support pieces 4 by shafts 17 and 17.

Thus, in this winning ball receiver,
In the normal state where the opening and closing blades 8 and 8 are standing, it is difficult to hit a ball, and the solenoid 11 is energized and the plunger 1
When the lever 3 moves backward, the swing lever 15 swings, so that the opening and closing blades 8 and 8 are tilted in an inverted C-shape, so that a ball can be more easily hit. Regardless of the state, the opening and closing blade 8,
The ball that enters the gap between the balls 8 and becomes the winning ball x falls into the chucker 5 and is guided to the back surface of the game board b through the ball entrance 2.

Further, even if a ball passing between the opening and closing blades 8 in the inverted C-shaped tilting posture is bounced upward at the bottom 5b of the chuck 5 or at the guide piece 3, the ball is not disturbed. The contact with the plunger 13 is cut off by hitting the tongue piece 20 (wall). For this reason, the winning ball x falls on the wall without being attracted to the magnetized plunger 13 and reliably moves rearward. Thus, according to the winning ball receiver, even when the hit ball continuously enters between the opening and closing blades 8 and 8 and becomes the winning ball x, the passing of the subsequent ball is hindered and the ball is jammed. It works smoothly without any occurrence.
