In the conventional gate, a nail is provided in a mountain shape below the gate, and a ball falling from the guide hole hits a nail arranged in the mountain shape below the guide hole, and the impact causes the ball speed to change. Since the ball slows down and tries to fall from the gap between the nails, a large number of nails are arranged side by side so that the balls roll along the nails in order to guide the play balls toward the center start chucker. It takes a lot of time to position the nails in a mountain shape below the gate and hit them.It is troublesome to arrange a large number of adjacent nails and to adjust the gauge of the nails. Since the balls are arranged in a V shape from both sides toward the chucker, the movement and appearance of the balls are poor, and there is no interest. In addition, as shown in the figure, if the nails are installed diagonally adjacent to each other in the center of the play board, the balls will drop. There is no ball, and even a hit ball rolling from another Will be received by the one row of nails, on the lower side of the winning ball receiving port had discouraged the difficult interest around the sphere.

The present invention solves such a problem, and a flow path changing plate is provided below the gate through which the game ball passes, either leftward or rightward, or a single flow path is changed. Reversing the front and back of the plate so that it can be attached to and detached leftward or rightward, the ball passing through the gate is forced to flow to the left or right along the flow path, and it rolls toward the central chucker with that momentum. An object of the present invention is to provide an economical gate with a flow path changing plate by increasing interest and eliminating waste of the flow path changing plate.

The path changing plate may be fitted and positioned near the left side or the right side of the recess 21 to be positioned and attached.

In FIG. 5, A is a game board, B is a mini digital device, C is a central start chucker, D is a center liquid crystal digital device, and E is an attacker. The nails 22 between the gate and the chucker can be arranged to be slanted slightly as shown in the figure, and the intervals between the nails can be arranged so as to be displaced to the intervals through which the balls pass, so that the design of the arrangement of the nails can be changed. The distance between the nails is not limited to this, and they may be arranged adjacent to each other as in the related art.

According to the present invention, when the game ball passes through the gate 2 and falls, the proximity switch 6 operates to change the number of the mini digital device B, and when it stops at a predetermined number, for example, 3, 7, The central start chucker C is opened for a predetermined time, for example, about 0.2 seconds to about 2 seconds. The game ball that has passed through the gate 2 has a flow path changing plate 4 facing left or right,
4 ', and the curved surface and sloped surface of the "No" and "J" types give momentum to the play ball and let it flow out in the lateral direction. If you play in the center start chucker C with the play ball facing toward C, and toward this chucker, the center liquid crystal digital pattern is activated and left → right →
It stops in the middle order and the symbols stop, and when three symbols are lined up, it becomes a big hit, and the lower attacker E is opened for 30 seconds.

Further, the nail 22 between the gate 2 and the chucker causes the play ball from the gate 2 to flow out with the force of the flow path changing plate, so that even if a certain distance is left, the nail 22 bounces against the nail and jumps toward the chucker. In addition, the ball that has no momentum that falls from the other flows downward from the space between the nails, increasing the chances of turning to the lower prize ball entrance and winning.
You can enrich the chance of winning a game ball,
The interest of the player can be increased.

[0019]

According to the gate with flow path changing plate of the first aspect of the present invention, the flow path changing plate having the leftward or rightward flow path is mounted directly below the guide hole of the common base so that the guide hole is removed from the guide hole. The falling sphere can flow out with a momentum to the left or right. Therefore, since the ball that has flowed out by the action of this flow path changing plate flows out with force, the number of nails between the gate and the chucker is smaller than in the conventional case, and even if there is a gap, it may hit the nails and bounce toward the chucker. Yes, again
Balls with no velocity flowing from others give the opportunity to flow downwards from between the spaced nails to increase the chances of winning the prize-ball receiving opening below, changing the design of the nail placement in the center of the play board. It can be given, and the movement of the ball from the gate to the chucker can be changed to enrich the appearance and increase the enjoyment of the player. Further, since only the flow path changing plate having the leftward or rightward flow path provided on the common base is attached, the number of parts is small and the product can be manufactured at low cost. or,
When the position where the gate is installed by the pachinko machine is on both sides or one side of the center accessory, the flow path changing plate provided with the flow path facing left or right is attached accordingly, so that the flow path changing plate may be useless. Not economical. Since the number of nails can be reduced compared to the conventional one, it does not take time and effort to attach the nails.

According to the second aspect of the present invention, since one type of the flow path changing plate can be used as the back side or the front side so as to be facing left or right, by mounting the common flow path changing plate on the common base. The ball falling from the guide hole can be flown out with a force to the left or right, and similarly to the above, even if there are few nails between directly below the guide hole and the central start chucker, it is possible to bounce with the nail and direct it to the chucker. In addition, the ball with reduced ball speed flowing from the other can give the opportunity to flow downward from between the spaced nails to increase the chance of winning the prize in the lower prize ball receiving port, the appearance of the arrangement of the nails, the movement of the ball Can be changed, and the interest of the player can be increased. Further, as described above, since the flow path changing plate can be changed in the flow path by mounting the front side or the back side, it is not necessary to make the right side and the left side, and it is sufficient to make only one type, and there is no waste of the die, and the cost is further increased. It is economical because there is no need for inventory of flow path changing plates.
