[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a handle for a pachinko machine of a type in which the resilience is changed in accordance with a playing state. The present invention relates to a steering wheel that can be adjusted and does not need to be adjusted when returning to normal hitting.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Some types of pachinko machines require changing the resilience according to the playing state. For example,
There is a game machine called the third type, and in this model, a right is generated by winning in the special device operation area, and when the three types of starting holes are won while the right is being generated, the big winning opening is opened. A large amount of prizes are generated, and thereby, a large number of prize balls are obtained.

[0003] In such a model, when the special device operation area is won again while the right is being generated, the acquired right is extinguished. Therefore, in a general machine, the special apparatus operation area is in the game play area. It is provided at the center or the left side of the board, and the three kinds of starting ports and the special winning opening are provided at the right side of the board. Therefore, in the normal state, the firing handle is operated so that the game ball flows down substantially at the center of the board, but once the right is generated, the right side of the game board is aimed. In this case, even if it is a beginner, even if it is a beginner, he or she wins the three-type starting opening and the grand prize opening with the operating handle turned to the maximum so that the prize can easily be made to the three-type starting opening and the grand prize opening. It is configured to be easy.

[0004] As described above, during a jackpot game after the right is generated, the steering wheel may be rotated to the maximum, and even a beginner does not have any difficulty in adjusting the steering wheel. However, after the end of the jackpot game, it is necessary to return the handle to a normal position where the game ball flows down to the special device operation area, and it is necessary to newly adjust the resilience. The operation of adjusting the new resilience is time-consuming and consumes a predetermined amount of waste balls, which may make the player feel unpleasant.

[0005]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION It is an object of the present invention to provide a pachinko machine in which it is necessary to change the resilience in a play state. This is to eliminate the need to readjust the position when returning to.

[0006]

Means for Solving the Problems The means adopted by the present invention for solving the above problems comprises a handle body integrally attached to a handle shaft, and a fixed body fixed to the front side of the pachinko machine body. A handle for adjusting the resilience of the play ball, wherein the handle body is composed of a main handle and a sub handle, and the main handle is fixed to a handle shaft, The body is
The main handle body is rotatably supported with respect to the main handle body, and the rotation of the main handle body with respect to the sub handle body is restricted by rotation restricting means. At any given position, and can be releasably coupled to the main handle via coupling means.

For example, when shifting from the "normal striking state" to the "right striking state", the connecting means is released and the main handle body is fixed to the sub-handle body via the fixing means. You only need to turn it clockwise to the maximum. As described above, in the “normal hit state”, the “normal hit position” of the handle main body unique to the player is stored by fixing the sub handle body to the fixed body via the fixing means.

When returning from the "right strike state" to the "normal strike state", if the main handle body is left open as it is, the main handle body is turned counterclockwise by the urging force to return to the initial position. When the main handle is rotated, the stopper body comes into contact with an abutted member provided on the sub-handle body, and the position of the main handle body in the rotational direction with respect to the sub-handle body is determined. Is restored to the immediately preceding "normal hit position" without fine adjustment. Thereafter, the fixing means is released to release the fixing of the sub handle body to the fixed body, and at the same time, the sub handle body is integrally connected to the main handle body via the connecting means. Thus, the main handle body and the sub handle body can be rotated in both directions while being integrally connected.

Since H ₃ a and the auxiliary handle members H ₂ b and H ₃ b are connected, there is an advantage that operability is improved.

In each of the above handles, the auxiliary handle body may be automatically returned to the initial state. With this configuration, it becomes easy to notice that the fixing of the auxiliary handle body to the fixed body has been released during “right-handed”,
There is an advantage that the mind can be prepared when returning to the "normal hit state" after "right hit". Also, if the auxiliary handle body can be maintained at the “normal hitting position” by a light frictional force, even if coins or the like come off suddenly and the auxiliary handle body is fixed to the fixed body, the auxiliary handle body can be maintained. Since the position is maintained, there is an advantage that the secondary handle body can be easily reset to the “normal hitting position”.

In each of the above embodiments, the handle body is a ring-shaped or semicircular cross-section divided into a main handle body and a sub-handle body by a plane perpendicular to the center of rotation. The main handle body and the sub handle body are both supported by the handle shaft, but the sub handle body has a semi-ring shape or the like, and It may be configured to be supported on the peripheral surface. The present invention can also be applied to amusement machines other than the three types, which need to change the resilience according to the state of play.

[0036]

According to the present invention, a main handle body and a sub handle body constitute a handle main body, the main handle body is fixed to a handle shaft, and the sub handle body is rotatable with respect to the handle shaft. When shifting from the “normal hitting state” to the “right hitting state”, the connecting means is released and the main handle is fixed to the fixed body via the fixing means. It is sufficient to turn only the handle body clockwise as much as possible. As described above, in the “normal hitting state”, the best “normal hitting position” of the handle main body acquired by the player through experience can be stored by fixing the sub handle body to the fixed body via the fixing means. .

When returning from the "right strike state" to the "normal strike state", if the main handle body is opened as it is, the main handle body is turned counterclockwise by the urging force to return to the initial position. When the main handle is rotated relative to the sub-handle by the rotation restricting means, the handle body is restored to the immediately preceding "normal hitting position" without fine adjustment. Can be. In this way, before the "right-handed", the best "normal hitting position" of the handle body is stored, and the "right-handed"
Is completed, the handle main body is restored to the "normal hitting position" in which the handle main body is stored, so that it is not necessary to adjust the position of the handle main body every time when returning to the "normal hitting state".
