Description

[Detailed description of the invention] This invention is a system for discharging prize balls of a pachinko machine that discharges a certain number of prize balls stored in the prize ball storage section each time a batted ball wins a prize or when a special winning device forms a prize mode. This relates to a device, and in particular, it prevents unauthorized ejection of prize balls by tilting the storage section from the outside.

The conventional prize ball discharge device discharges the prize balls by directly rotating the prize ball storage section with a wire or the like without energizing the electromagnetic solenoid.

For this purpose, a piano wire or the like is inserted from the upper supply tray or lower tray on the front of the pachinko machine, penetrates the inside of the discharge gutter, and presses or hooks the prize ball storage section provided on the upstream side of the discharge gutter to discharge the prize balls. There is no end to fraud.

To solve this problem, attempts have been made to make the discharge gutter meander or provide an intrusion prevention member, but the structure is complicated and it is not possible to completely prevent fraud.

This proposal was proposed in view of the above, and if the opening end on the inflow side of the prize ball storage section that stores a certain number of prize balls inside coincides with the outlet of the downflow gutter extending from the storage tank, no prize will be awarded. A cover piece provided on one side of the discharge side of the ball storage section closes the entrance of the discharge gutter to prevent wires etc. from entering from the discharge gutter, and when the prize ball storage section is tilted, the cover piece closes the entrance of the discharge gutter. This pachinko machine has a simple structure and can reliably prevent fraud. This invention attempts to provide a prize ball ejecting device.

The present invention will be explained below based on drawings of embodiments.

As shown in FIG. 1, the prize ball discharging device 1 includes a downstream gutter 3 extending from a storage tank 2 that stores a large amount of balls, and when tilted facing an outlet 4 of the downstream gutter 3, a certain number of prize balls are ejected. A prize ball storage section 5 that flows down, an electromagnetic solenoid 6 that tilts the prize ball storage section 5, and an upper supply tray 7 provided at the front of the pachinko machine to receive the prize balls that the prize ball storage section 5 has flowed down as shown in FIG. Or lower saucer 8
It consists of a discharge gutter 9 etc. leading to the

The prize ball storage section 5 is connected to the game board 1 by a bracket 10.
1 is a gutter-like member rotatably fixed to the shaft, and the inflow side opening end 5a
On one side is a tongue piece 1 that blocks the outlet 4 of the downflow gutter 3 when tilted.
2, and an inlet 13 of the discharge gutter 9 is located on one side of the discharge side opening end 5b.
Lid pieces 14 are provided in the lateral direction to cover the respective parts, and a connecting part 16 is provided protruding from the side surface closer to the discharge side than the support shaft 15.

The tip of the connecting part 16 is a rotating rod 1 whose one end is pivotally connected to the game board.
7 via a connecting plate 18.

The connecting portion 16 and the connecting plate 18 are rotatably connected by a first pin 19, and the rotating rod 1'7 and the connecting plate 18 are rotatably connected by a second pin 20, and the first pin 19 is connected as shown in FIG. It is located on the discharge side (lower side in the drawing) than the straight line Y connecting the support shaft 15 and the second pin 20.

In the middle of the rotating rod 17, when the rotating rod 17 is energized, the rotating rod 1
An electromagnetic solenoid 6 that tilts the prize ball storage section 5 by rotating 7.
Connect the operating rod 21 of.

When the electromagnetic solenoid 6 is demagnetized, the rotating rod 17 is supported by the support piece 22 protruding from the game board 11, and the inflow side opening end 5a of the prize ball storage section 5 coincides with the outlet 4 of the downflow gutter 3. At the same time, the discharge side opening end 5b faces a receiving metal fitting 23 arranged in parallel with the inlet 13 of the discharge gutter 9.

Therefore, when a ball passes through the downflow gutter 3 from the storage tank 2 and flows into the prize ball storage section 5, the first ball is placed in the receiving metal fitting 23.
Since the ball hits and stops, a certain number of balls are stored in the prize ball storage section 5.

Further, in this state, the lid piece 14 provided on one side of the discharge side of the prize ball storage section 5 closes the entrance 13 of the discharge gutter 9.

Therefore, even if the player inserts the piano wire from the upper supply tray 7 or the lower saucer 8, passes it through the discharge gutter 9, and attempts to tilt the prize ball storage section 5, the tip of the piano wire will not be discharged, as shown in FIG. The balls collide with the lid piece 14 at the entrance 13 of the gutter 9, and are prevented from entering and cannot reach the prize ball storage section 5.

Also, connect the lid piece 1 with the piano wire inserted into the upper supply tray 7, etc.
Even if an attempt is made to remove the cover piece 4 from the entrance 13 of the discharge gutter 9, the cover piece 14 will not come off from the entrance 13 unless the prize ball storage part 5 is tilted.

To tilt the storage section 5, as shown in FIG.
The first pin 19 of No. 8 follows an arcuate trajectory A around the support shaft 15.
must pass above.

However, in order for the first pin 19 to pass on the trajectory A, the second pin 20 of the connecting plate 18 must also move.

However, the second pin 20 is restricted in its lateral movement by the rotation rod 17 and its downward movement by the support piece 22.

Further, this second pin 20 is urged downward by a spring 24 of the electromagnetic solenoid 6.

Therefore, the second pin 20 cannot move up, down, left or right even when pressed by the first pin 19, unless the second pin 20 is raised by rotating the rotation rod 17.

If the second pin 20 does not move, the first pin 19 cannot move on the trajectory A, so the prize ball storage section 5 connected by the connecting portion 16 cannot also tilt.

Therefore, even if the prize ball storage section 9 vibrates or tries to tilt directly by hooking a wire or the like, when the electromagnetic solenoid 6 is demagnetized, the connecting plate 18 prevents the tilting, so it will not rotate.

In this way, even if the player attempts to illegally eject the prize balls by inserting a piano wire or the like from the upper supply tray 7 or the lower receiving tray 8, the player cannot eject the prize balls.

When a hit ball wins or a special game device (not shown) forms a prize mode, the electromagnetic solenoid 6 is energized to raise the operating rod 21 and rotate the rotating rod 17.

When the rotation rod 17 rotates, one end 18a of the connecting plate 18 connected by the second pin 20 rises.

When one end 18a of the connecting plate 18 rises, the other end 18b also rises with a delay, and the connecting portion 16 connected to the other end 18b also rises on an arcuate trajectory A centered on the support shaft 15.

When the connecting portion 16 rises on the trajectory A, the prize ball storage portion 5 tilts around the support shaft 15.

When the prize ball storage section 5 tilts, the inflow side opening end 5a comes off the outlet 4 of the downflow gutter 3, the tongue piece 12 closes the outlet and prevents the balls from flowing down, and at the same time, the discharge side cover piece 14 closes the outlet of the gutter 3. When the ball 9 is removed from the inlet 13, the discharge side opening end 5b coincides with the inlet 13, and a certain number of balls stored inside flow down into the discharge gutter 9.

The balls that have flowed down into the discharge gutter 9 are discharged as prize balls to the upper supply tray 7 or the lower tray 8 at the front of the pachinko machine.

When the electromagnetic solenoid 6 is demagnetized after a certain period of time, the rotating rod 17 returns to its original position due to its own weight and the bias of the spring 24, and rotates to connect the connecting plate 18 and the connecting portion 16.
also returns to its original position.

When the connecting portion 16 returns to its original position, the tongue piece 12 is removed from the outlet 4, and the inlet side opening 5a coincides with the outlet 4 of the downflow gutter 3 to compensate for the ball that had stopped in the downflow gutter 3.

In the illustrated embodiment, the prize ball storage section 5 is provided in the vertical direction, but it may be provided in an inclined manner in the left and right direction.

As explained above, according to the present invention, the electromagnetic solenoid 6
When it is demagnetized, the cover piece 14 covers the inlet 13 of the discharge gutter 9, so that the wire material such as piano wire is transferred to the upper supply tray 7 and the lower tray 8.
Even if the ball is inserted from the inside, the cover piece 14 can prevent the ball from entering and prevent the prize ball from being illegally ejected.

Furthermore, since the present invention has a simple structure, it can be easily implemented in any type of pachinko machine provided with a tilting prize ball storage section, and has high practical value.
