The cross-section has a flat square shape and gradually changes its direction toward the front as it goes downward, and when it becomes substantially horizontal, the tip openings 51a, 51a are formed (see FIG. 4).

The openings 51a, 51a are located at a position slightly higher than the upper surface of the play field plate 4, as shown in FIG. The pack 6 that has entered the guide passage 51 through the bypass passage 41 drops while being guided by the guide passage 51, changes its direction at the curved portion and becomes substantially horizontal, and the openings 51a, 51a are formed.
Will be ejected horizontally from.

On the other hand, the goal 8 has a flat rectangular opening below the cover plate 61, but the opening width can be adjusted. The opening width adjusting mechanism 60 will be described with reference to FIGS. 7 to 9. A horizontal plate 62, which is substantially flush with the play field plate 4, extends from the opening of the goal 8 to the inside, and rectangular openings 62a are formed at both front and rear ends thereof, and the gate member 63 is provided so as to be retractable from each rectangular opening 62a. Has been.

The gate member 63 has a substantially rectangular parallelepiped shape, a lower end of which forms a pair of bearing portions 63a, and a pin 64 is horizontally installed. A swing bar 65, one end of which is pivotally attached to the pin 64, is swingably supported at a substantially central portion by a fixed support shaft 66, and the other end of the swing bar 65 is positioned downward via a spring 67. It is connected to a rod 68a of a solenoid 68 that operates.

A spring 70 is interposed between the pin 64 and a pin 69 protruding below the pin 64 to urge the gate member 63 downward and the swing bar 65 in one direction. A stopper 71 that abuts the swing bar 65 that is biased by the spring 70 and swings maintains the swing bar 65 in a substantially horizontal posture.

Therefore, when the solenoid 68 is not excited, the pulling force of the spring 70 keeps the swing bar 65 in a substantially horizontal position as shown by the chain double-dashed line in FIG. The gate member 63 may be immersed in the rectangular opening 62a of the plate 62, and the opening width of the goal 8 may be the original maximum opening width W (see FIG. 7).

When the solenoid 68 is excited, the rod
68a pulls the swing bar 65 through the retracting spring 67 as shown in FIG.
7, the gate member 63 is projected upward from the rectangular opening 62a of the horizontal plate 62, the both ends of the opening of the goal 8 are closed by the gate members 63, 63, and the opening width is narrowed, as shown in FIG. Thus, the opening width w can be narrow. Even if the pack 6 or other objects are caught when the gate member 63 projects, the spring 67 extends so that the solenoid 68 is not overloaded.

On the upper surface of the cover plate 61 of the goal 8, a plurality of LEDs 72 are arranged in a row with the maximum opening width W, and an operation button 73 is arranged. Each time the player presses the operation button 73, the front and rear solenoids 68 are simultaneously energized and demagnetized, and the LEDs 72 near both ends of the plurality of LEDs 72 are turned on.
The light is repeatedly turned off to show the opening width of the goal 8.

That is, when the solenoid 68 is in the demagnetized state, all the LEDs 72 are turned on and the opening of the goal 8 has the maximum opening width W. When the solenoid 68 is in the excited state, as shown in FIG. In the LED 72, both ends are turned off, and the LE corresponding to the narrowed opening width w in the center is LE.
D72 lights up to indicate the narrow opening width of the goal 8.

Therefore, the player can freely set the opening width of the goal 8 to any size by operating the operation button 73. For example, when three players play a two-to-one game, the goal 8 of one side, which is disadvantageous, can be narrowed and the other goal 8 can be set to the maximum opening width, so that they can play evenly. 3 people can enjoy playing at the same time.

In addition, even in a one-on-one battle between players who have different skills, such as adults and children, the goal of the poorer skill is 8
The game can be made interesting by narrowing the opening width of and playing with the opening of the other goal 8 set to the maximum opening width.

In the above-described embodiment, the opening width of the goal 8 is set to the two large and small states. However, the opening width can be gradually expanded and reduced so that it can be adjusted to an arbitrary opening width. May be.

The automatic puck supply device 20 in the present air hockey game device 1 has the structure described above, and the motor 37 of the lifting mechanism 30 and the solenoid 43 of the distribution means 42,
The drive of 43 is controlled by a microcomputer, and the microcomputer inputs the detection signal of the coin inserted into the coin slot 14, the selection signal of the selection button 15, the detection signal of the pack 6 which the goal sensor 24 has scored, and the like. The motor 37, the solenoids 43, 43, and the like are driven and controlled, and the display on the display unit 12 and the voice of the speaker 13 are controlled.

The automatic pack feeder 20 is provided with a large number of packs 6 from the beginning, and the packs 6 are supported by the support rods 34 of the front belt 33 of the pack lifting mechanism 30. A plurality of packs 6 are stocked side by side in the collection passages 23 on the left and right of 21 respectively, which are locked by stoppers 25.

In the case of the present automatic pack supply device 20, it is possible to select one pack game in which one pack 6 is always handled at a time and a multipack game in which three packs 6 are handled at a time by the selection button 15. It has become. The operation buttons 73 provided on the goal 8 can be operated at any time,
The opening width of the goal 8 can be adjusted appropriately.

When the selection button 15 is pressed, the game starts, air begins to blow out from a large number of holes of the play field plate 4, and the left and right solenoids 43 of the distribution means 42.
One of the randomly selected rods 43a of the solenoid 43 is projected.

Then, the motor 37 of the pack lifting mechanism 30 is driven for a predetermined time to rotate the belt 33 to support the pack 6 supported.
And the uppermost pack 6 is brought into contact with one side of the protruding rod 43a to move to the bypass passage 41 and drop in the guide passage 51 connected to the bypass passage 41. Therefore, the pack 6 is ejected onto the play field plate 4 from whichever of the left and right guide passages 51 is randomly determined.

Since the opening portion 51a of the guide passage 51 faces the playfield plate 4 forward and forward from the center position of the rear edge of the playfield plate 4, the guide passage 51 is guided in parallel.
The pack 6, which has dropped the 51 by its own weight, is guided by the guide passage 51, turns horizontally and is ejected from the opening 51a, and is placed at an appropriate position close to one side of the play field plate 4 and the play field plate 4 is ejected. It slides smoothly along the air that is ejected upwards and is released upwards.

Therefore, since the pack 6 is supplied onto the play field plate 4 without breaking its horizontal posture, even if the player operates the mallet 7 to play the pack 6 immediately after being ejected, the outer periphery of the pack 6 is always played. It is possible to contact the surface, and the inconvenient situation of jumping out of the field by flipping the front surface or the back surface of the pack 6 in an abnormal posture does not occur.

When one pack 6 is supplied onto the playfield plate 4 in this way, one stopper 25 of the recovery passage 23 is driven to move the locked top pack 6 of the pack lifting mechanism 30. Support bar 34 at the bottom of front belt 33

The individual packs 6 are supplied onto the play field board 4, and the player operates the mallet 7 to play the pack 6 and aim at the opponent's goal 8 to shoot and play.
In addition to the case where two players play a one-on-one battle, a two-to-two battle and a more irregular game are also possible.

When the pack 6 enters one of the goals 8, the pack 6 is received by the receiving box 22 and then the inclined collecting passage 23 is formed.
Roll to the end of Pack 6, which is already lined up. Entry into the goal 8 of the pack 6 is detected by the score sensor 24, and when the microcomputer inputs the detection signal, a new score is displayed on the display unit 12 and the speaker is displayed.
While driving 13 to make a sound, one solenoid 43 of the sorting means is driven to project the rod 43a so as to supply a new pack 6 to the camp on the goal side, and then the motor 37 is driven. Pack 6 into one guide passage 51
Eject from the side to the side that was the goal.

As described above, the game can be played according to the rule corresponding to the service right in the actual game. In the case of the time zone of a multi-pack game, one pack 6 above
Is supplied to the scoring side, then the scoring side is supplied with the second pack 6, and the third pack is supplied to the scoring side, for a total of 3 The individual packs 6 will be supplied onto the playfield board 4.

Therefore, the player has three packs 6
I will attack and defend with my eyes on
You can enjoy more exciting games.
When all the three packs 6 have reached the goal within the predetermined game time, the three packs 6 are alternately supplied again, starting with the side having the higher number of goals. The time zone of the multi-pack game can be freely changed by a software program.

As described above, the present air hockey game device 1
The automatic pack feeder 20 automatically supplies the pack 6 onto the playfield board 4, so the player must take out the pack 6 from the goal 8 and place it on the playfield board 4. There is no, you can concentrate only on the play and be absorbed in the game.

Automatic pack feeder rather than human being
Since 20 supplies the pack 6, it is possible to always supply the pack 6 on the play field plate 4 in an appropriate posture and at an appropriate position.

Since a large number of packs 6 are stocked in the housing 3, even if the packs 6 are lost, they can be operated as they are by turning the power on again. In the multi-pack game, three packs 6 are handled at the same time, but the number of packs is not limited to three, and the setting can be changed to handle a plurality of packs 6.

The tip opening 51a of the guide passage 51 is formed with a step at a position somewhat higher than the playfield plate 4, but the horizontally ejected pack 6 is discharged onto the playfield plate 4. In addition to being smoothly placed on the play field plate 4, the pack 6 that has been floated and moved by the air on the play field plate 4 has the opening 51a of the guide passage 51.
The step prevents it from entering the opposite direction.
