Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] The present invention relates to an operating handle mechanism in an electric pachinko machine.

Conventionally, in the operating handle of an electric pachinko machine, when the operating lever is rotated, a microswitch closes an electric circuit and periodically drives a rotary solenoid to swing the batting rod. is elastically biased in the direction of return, and the player's hands and fingers are fatigued by continuing to hold the control lever in a rotated position, making it extremely difficult to hold the control lever in a constant rotation position for a long period of time. It was something.

In view of the above-mentioned problems, the present invention provides an operating handle with a brake lever protruding from the outer frame of the operating handle, and a brake shoe that locks the operating lever by frictional force in conjunction with the lever action of the brake lever. This allows the player to easily hold the operating lever at a constant rotational position with his or her fingers without feeling fatigued.

An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. Reference numeral 1 represents an operating handle body fixedly installed on the front surface of a pachinko machine frame 2, and 3 represents an operating lever rotatably assembled to the operating handle body 1.

The operating handle body 1 consists of a base cylinder part 4 and a cover member 5 2, and a handle shaft 6 rotatably supported on the base cylinder part 4.
The operating lever 3 is pivotally attached to one end of the operating lever 3.
The outer circumferential portion 3a of the operating handle body 1 is configured to protrude from the outer frame of the operating handle body 1, and the cover member 5 and the operating lever 3
The operating lever 3 and the handle shaft 6 are elastically biased to return to rotation by a spiral spring 7 interposed therebetween.

A ball hitting force adjustment mechanism (not shown) for the ball hitting rod, such as a rotating cam, is attached to the square shaft portion at the other end of the handle shaft 6.

A brake lever 8 is pivotally supported on the cover member 5, and one end of the brake lever 8 protrudes from the outer frame of the cover member 5, with the protrusion 8a serving as a force point 8a, and the other end serving as an application point. 8b, and a brake shoe 9 made of a rubber-like material is fixed onto the application point portion 8b.

The brake lever 8 comes to swing about a fulcrum part 8C located between the force point part 8a and the action point part 8b, and in order to strengthen the pressing force of the brake shoe 9 against the operating lever 3, it is clearly shown in the drawing. The fulcrum part 8
The length from C to the force point part 8a is longer than the length from the fulcrum part 8C to the force point part 8b, and the brake lever 8
The configuration is such that the single-child action of can be fully utilized.

Furthermore, the brake lever 8 is elastically biased by a compression spring 10 in the direction of return (in the opposite direction of the arrow in the figure).

Note that 11 in the figure is a starting switch for a rotary solenoid (not shown).

When the operating lever 3 is rotated in the operating handle mechanism configured as described above, the starting switch 11 is activated by the electric circuit (
(not shown) is closed to periodically drive a rotary solenoid to swing the batting rod, and the batting force of the batting rod is adjusted by holding the control lever 3 at a constant rotational position. .

The player must continue to hold the operating lever 3 in a fixed rotating position for a long period of time, but the operating handle mechanism of the present invention presses one end of the brake lever 8 with a finger in the direction of the arrow in the figure, and uses a lever action to release the brake shoe. 9 can be pressed against the inner circumferential surface 3b of the operating lever 3, and the operating lever 3 can be fixed by the frictional force.

Since the brake can be operated easily with the fingers or the like, the player does not feel greatly fatigued even during a pachinko game for a long time, and the rotational position of the operating lever 3 does not shift even with slight body movements.

As explained above, the operating handle mechanism of the present invention includes a brake lever protruding from the outer frame of the operating handle, and a brake shoe that locks the operating lever by frictional force in conjunction with the lever action of the brake lever. This allows the player to easily hold the operating lever at a constant rotational position with his or her fingers without feeling fatigued, and its practical effects are extremely large.

Claims (1)

[Scope of claim for utility model registration] An operation handle body is fixedly installed on the front of the pachinko machine frame, and an operation huff is provided. In the operating handle, an operating lever is assembled that protrudes from the outer frame of the dollar body and is rotatable separately from the operating handle main body, and the rotation of the operating lever adjusts the batting force of the batting rod that hits the pachinko ball. A brake shoe that comes into contact with the operating lever is fixed to the action point of a brake lever that protrudes from the handle outer frame and performs a lever action using the protrusion as a force point, and furthermore, a brake shoe that contacts the operating lever is fixed to the force point of the brake lever. An operating handle mechanism for an electric pachinko machine, characterized in that the length is longer than the length from the fulcrum to the point of action.
