Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a bullet having at least a plurality of ball receiving ports and a collecting plate having a gutter for guiding a game ball entering the ball receiving port downward. Regarding a ball game machine.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art A game board 5 of a conventional ball game machine shown in FIG.
A plurality of ball sockets 52a and 52b are attached to one front surface, and the game board 51 is provided with through holes 53a and 53b at positions corresponding to the ball sockets 52a and 52b, respectively. Thereby, the respective ball sockets 52a and 52a
Each of the game balls B1 and B2 entering the ball 2b is discharged to the back surface side of the game board 51 through the respective through holes 53a and 53b. Also, a plurality of gutters 54a and 5 are provided on the back of the game board 51.
A collective plate 55 having 4b is arranged, and each game ball B has flowed out from each through hole 53a and 53b.
1 and B2 were guided below the back surface of the game board 51 by the respective gutters 54a and 54b corresponding to the respective through holes 53a and 53b.

[0003]

However, in such a ball-and-ball game machine, when the ball socket and the collecting plate are attached to the game board, it is necessary to align them with the through holes of the game board, and the production is performed. The problem was that the process was complicated. In addition, since the number of parts becomes diverse, it is considered that parts management may become complicated.

[0004]

In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the ball game machine of the present invention is equipped with at least a collecting plate attached to the back surface of the game board and for guiding the entered game ball downward. In the ball game machine, a gutter is provided at a substantially right angle on the plane of the collecting plate, and the gutter is projected into a game area on the game board through a through hole of the game board.

[0005]

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION With the above structure of the ball-and-ball game machine of the present invention, the game ball that has entered the gutter of the collecting plate projected into the game area on the game board is guided below the collecting plate. This acts so that it is not necessary to attach a ball socket to the game board.

Concrete Example A concrete example of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. The ball game machine 1 shown in FIG. 1 is provided with a game board 2, and the front surface of the game board 2 is covered with double glasses 5a and 5b mounted on a front frame 4 via a glass frame 3. There is. As a result, the game board 2 and the inner glass 5a
A game area 6 is formed between and.

On the upper part of the front frame 4, a big hit lamp 7 which is turned on when a so-called big hit occurs is installed. In addition, the front frame 4 can be opened and closed by operating a key 8 provided on the right side with a hinge (not shown) mounted on the back side of the left side as an axis. Below the front frame 4, a plate member 12 in which an upper tray 10 and a lower tray 11 are integrally provided is arranged. Upper tray 10 and lower tray 1
1, an upper plate discharge port 13 and a lower plate discharge port 14 for discharging the game balls from the ball game machine 1 are opened respectively. Further, the dish member 12 is provided with a speaker surface 15 formed of a plurality of small holes, and a speaker (not shown) that produces a sound according to a game state is mounted on the back surface of the speaker surface 15. Further, the dish member 12 includes the upper tray 1
A firing stop switch 16 for instructing to stop the firing of the game balls supplied from 0 is installed. The game ball is launched into the game area 6 by operating the operation handle 17 provided on the dish member 12. The dish member 12 can be opened and closed around a hinge (not shown) mounted on the back side of the left side portion, but during normal use, the dish member 12 is pressed against the upper side portion by the front frame 4 to prevent opening. Has been done. Therefore, in order to open the dish member 12, it is necessary to open the front frame 4 and release the lock (not shown) on the right rear side. Further, on the back surface of the ball game machine 1, an electronic control device for controlling the ball game machine 1 and a mechanism for ejecting a game ball are provided, but these are well-known techniques and are shown and described. Is omitted.

Next, the game board 2 described above will be described with reference to FIGS. 2 and 3. As shown in FIG. 2, through holes 20a to 20c are provided through the game board 2, and a collecting plate 21 is attached to the back surface of the game board 2. On this collecting plate 21, gutters 22a to 22c for guiding the game balls downward are formed, and above the respective gutters 22a to 22c, the collecting plate 2
On the front surface of 1, each of the gutters 23a to 23c is provided on the front surface of the collecting plate 21 so as to project substantially vertically. In addition, this gutter 23a-2
Each of the ball receiving ports 24a to 24c is formed on the upper portion of each of the 3c, and the game balls falling from above can be entered. As shown in FIG. 2 and FIG. 3, this collecting plate 21 guides the game balls B entered in the respective gutters 23a to 23c downward by the respective gutters 22a to 22c corresponding to the respective gutters 23a to 23c. It is configured to be. Through holes 20a-2 of the game board 2 described above
0c is provided at a position corresponding to each of the gutters 23a to 23c provided on the collecting plate 21 when the collecting plate 21 is attached.

The collecting plate 21 configured as described above is attached to the back surface of the game board 2 by inserting the respective gutters 23a to 23c into the through holes 20a to 20c. At this time, the gutters 23a to 23c are projected into the game area 6 on the game board 2,
The game ball B shot in the game area 6 can enter the gutters 23a to 23c. Although the game board 2 is provided with lamps and accessories, their illustration and description are omitted.

As described above in detail, according to the ball-ball game machine 1 of this example, the collecting board 21 can be attached and the gutters 23a to 23c can be arranged on the game area 6 on the game board 2. Ball sockets 24a-24 of each gutter 23a-23c
Each of the c can receive a game ball and guide it to the lower side of the collecting plate 21. As a result, it is not necessary to attach a ball socket to the game board 2 and the production process is simplified, which is an excellent effect. In addition, since the number of parts is reduced, parts management can be rationalized.

Further, in this specific example, as shown in FIG. 2, through holes 31a and 31b are provided above the through holes 20a and 20c of the game board 2, respectively. Mounting portions 33a and 33b for mounting the lamp wind turbines 32a and 32b are provided above the respective 23a and 23c, respectively. This game board 2
