Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a cigarette butter for a game machine such as a pachinko machine provided with an individual ball counter, and more particularly to a cigarette butter which facilitates the handling of cigarettes during play.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Some pachinko machines are provided with individual counters for counting the obtained balls. As an example of this type of pachinko machine, a storage box is provided at the lower part of the lower plate so that the balls collected in the lower plate can be transferred from the lower plate to the storage box, and the bottom of the storage box communicates with the counter, and It is known that a ball is thrown into a counter when the bottom of the box is opened.
Therefore, the pachinko machine is provided with a support base for placing the storage box below the lower plate, and a passage connected to the counter on the support base is opened in accordance with the installation position of the storage box.

On the other hand, some pachinko machines have a cigarette butter for collecting cigarette butts. The butts processor has a closed collecting passage along the island of the pachinko machine, and a non-combustible belt made of metal or the like is freely rotatable in this collecting passage, and the butts dropped into the collecting passage are used as belts. It is transported on a board, and is housed in a butts collection box or the like provided at the end of the collection passage. The ashtray, that is, the butt inlet, is formed with an air flow drawn inward so that smoke does not flow out to the outside.

[0004]

However, in the case of a pachinko machine having individual prize ball counting machines, a storage box is provided below the lower plate in order to facilitate the work of replacing the pachinko machine. A passage for flowing balls to a counter provided inside the pachinko machine is formed at the lower part of the storage box. Therefore, when a butcher disposer is installed in a pachinko machine equipped with a counting machine, the collecting passage for butts is located further below the passage of the counting machine, and the ashtray, that is, the butts inlet is located below the lower end of the pachinko machine. There is a problem that the usability when putting cigarettes while pachinko is deteriorated.

[0005]

According to the present invention, in a game machine such as a pachinko machine having a counting machine, a cigarette butter is constituted as follows in order to make it easier to handle tobacco while pachinko. That is, a butts collection passage is provided at the lower part of the ball passage communicating with the storage box, while a butts inlet is provided on the support base that supports the storage box for receiving the balls dropped from the lower plate of the pachinko machine. A communication pipe was attached to and connected to a butt inlet provided on the support base. By installing the communication pipe between them as described above, even in the case where a game machine having an individual ball counting machine is provided with a butts processor that automatically collects butts, the butts input port is supported. It can be provided on a table, and the usability while pachinko can be improved.

[0006]

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION Hereinafter, an example of a butts processor and a communication pipe thereof according to the present invention will be described.

FIG. 3 shows the entire pachinko machine 30. As shown in FIG. 4, a predetermined number of pachinko machines 30 are installed on the front and back surfaces of the installation base 10, respectively, and are called so-called islands as a whole.

As shown in FIG. 3, the pachinko machine 30 has a board surface 32 having a glass on the front surface, an operation handle 34, and the upper plate 3.
6 and a lower plate 38 and the like, and a ball put in the upper plate 36 is hit on the board surface 32 by operating the operation handle 34. The prize ball is
Since it flows into the upper plate 36, it can be hit continuously, but if the number of balls increases, the number of balls accumulated in the upper plate 36 increases. Therefore, the drop button is operated to sequentially move the lower plate 38 at an appropriate time. On the other hand, the lower plate 38 is also provided with an opening / closing mechanism at the lower portion. By operating the open / close button 9, the bottom of the lower plate 38 is opened, and the balls can be stored in the storage box 4 placed under the lower plate 38. ing.

The storage box 4 is a portable box capable of storing a large number of balls. The storage box 4 has an opening / closing mechanism (not shown) at the bottom and an opening / closing button 5 for opening and closing the opening / closing mechanism at the front. When the storage box 4 is installed at a predetermined position of the support base 6 provided at the lower end of the pachinko machine 30, the opening and closing lid of the storage box 4 coincides with the passage 7 formed under the support base 6 and the open / close button 5 The communication with the passage 7 is performed by the operation of. The passage 7 is connected to a ball counting counter (not shown) provided inside the pachinko machine 30.

A butt holder 8 is provided at a position on the left side of the support base 6. The butts holder 8 is provided on the upper surface of the support base 6 as shown in FIGS.
Is opened, and the butts inlet 8 a is connected to the butts processor 1 via the communication pipe 2. The cigarette holder 8 is connected to an air pipe (not shown) for collecting the smoke rising from the cigarette, and sucks the smoke rising from the cigarette into the cigarette holder 8.

As shown in FIG. 4, the butts processor 1 has a collecting passage 44 installed along the base 10 of the pachinko machine.
And a drive mechanism 43 provided at an end of the collection passage 44, a collection box 45, and the like. In the collection passage 44, a metal belt 48 is freely rotatable in the longitudinal direction by the drive mechanism 43 as shown in FIG. It is provided in.

Next, an actual operation state of the pachinko machine 30 will be described.

First, the purchased ball is put into the upper plate 36, and the operation handle 34 is operated to strike the ball on the board surface 32. The prize balls flow out to the upper plate 36, and when some balls accumulate in the upper plate 36, the drop button is operated to sequentially move them to the lower plate 38. Thereafter, when the number of balls accumulated in the lower plate 38 increases, the open / close button 9 is operated to drop the balls into the storage box 4.

When the storage box 4 is filled with the balls, the open / close button 5 of the storage box 4 is operated to put the balls into the counter. Balls are sent to the counter through a passage 7 connected to the lower part of the support base 6, and the number of balls sent is counted. Then, printing is performed by a printing device or the like as necessary, and the number of balls is output.

On the other hand, when smoking a cigarette during a pachinko game, put the cigarette in the cigarette holder 8 and continue pachinko. The cigarette holder 8 sucks air inside, so that the cigarette smoke placed in the cigarette holder 8 is sucked inside. Then, when the ash or the butts that have been sucked are dropped into the inside of the butt holder 8, the butts fall through the communication pipe 2 to the collection passage 44, are conveyed by the belt 48, and are collected in the collection box 45. Collection box 4
5 is pre-filled with water.

As described above, the buttress holder 8 is formed using the communication pipe 2.
Is provided on the upper surface of the support base 6, even when the butts processor 1 is installed in the pachinko machine 30 having a counter, the ashtray, that is, the butts insertion 8 can be installed in a position that is easy to handle.

In the above description, the pachinko machine 30 has been described. However, the present invention is not limited to the pachinko machine, but may be a pachislot machine.
The present invention may be applied to other game machines similar to pachinko machines.

[0018]

According to the present invention, the ashtray on the support base can be connected to the butts processor, and the pachinko machine is provided with an individual counter,
Even if the ball passage to the counter is provided at the lower part of the support base, the butts holder can be placed at a high and appropriate position, and the usability can be improved.
