BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a pachinko machine, a conventional machine, a CR machine, and the like. The present invention relates to a gate with a flow path changing plate.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In a conventional pachinko machine and a CR machine, a mini digital device that determines the opening / closing time of a start chucker when a play ball passes through a central role, for example, a gate provided on both sides or one side of a center liquid crystal digital device. When the number fluctuates and stops at a predetermined number, for example, 3, 7, the central start chucker below the center liquid crystal digital device is opened for a predetermined time, and when a play ball wins the chucker, it is displayed on the center liquid crystal digital device. In some cases, the number, picture, or the like fluctuates and stops, and when a big hit occurs, the lower attacker is opened for a predetermined time.

As shown in FIG. 16, a starting gate 102 of this conventional mini digital device is a proximity switch having a base 101 provided with a U-shaped decorative panel and a circular guide hole 103 for passing a game ball. , And nails 104 are arranged in a mountain shape so that the balls flow obliquely to the left or right below the guide holes 103, and then a number of nails are used to guide the playing balls toward the central start chucker C. 1
04 are arranged in a row so as to be adjacent to each other, and the ball falling from the gate is guided to the start chucker so that the chucker can win.

[0004]

In the conventional gate, nails 104 arranged in a mountain shape corresponding to the gate on the left or right side of the center accessory must be driven leftward or rightward as shown in FIG. Therefore, the positioning of the nail must be performed each time, which is extremely troublesome and inconvenient. Further, the ball falling from the guide hole hits the nails 104 arranged in the shape of a chevron, and the impact slows down the ball speed, and the ball tends to fall from the gap between the nails, so that the playing ball is guided toward the central start chucker. In order to arrange a large number of nails closely adjacent to each other so that the ball rolls along the nails, to align the mountain-shaped nails and the multiple adjacent nails, gauge the spacing of the multiple nails However, it is troublesome and time-consuming, and the nails are arranged in a V-shape from both sides toward the central chucker, so the appearance is poor and lacks interest. Moreover, as shown in the figure, the nails are provided diagonally adjacent to the center of the game board There is no gap where the ball falls,
Even a rolling ball from another was caught by this row of nails, and the ball was difficult to turn around in the lower winning ball receiving port, which was distracting.

[0005] In addition, when the left and right ball guide plates are integrally provided on the base, the left and right ball guide plates must be separately manufactured, which is troublesome and costly. Also, when attaching to the game board, if the left and right were mistaken, they had to be reattached. Furthermore, depending on the game, the play ball may be directed rightward or leftward only toward the central chucker, in which case only one is used and the other is not used, generating a large amount of inventory, This is also inconvenient in that a large amount of garbage is not used.

The present invention has been made to solve such a problem, and a flow path changing plate for guiding a game ball to the left and right below a gate is changed to a position deviated to the left or right so that it can be attached. The sphere passing through the gate can be changed to a flow to the left or right by changing the flow path using the conversion for the left or right, and the slope of the flow path causes the sphere to give momentum, It is an object of the present invention to provide a gate with a flow path changing plate, which can be rolled toward a central chucker to increase interest, and furthermore, can be used for both left and right without waste and economical.
