Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a pachinko machine in which balls that should have flowed downward through the gaming section of a board and become out balls are given another chance to win.

In a normal pachinko machine, all balls fired into the game section are discharged to the back of the machine as out balls, except for some safe balls that enter the winning slot. For this reason, although it is okay to hit balls that become safe balls, many of the balls instantly pass through the game section and flow into the out ball hole below, causing a sense of disappointment to the players and also preventing pachinko from playing. I keep it monotonous.

The present invention increases the interest of pachinko games by giving balls that should have been out the ball another chance to win, and adding the fun of a so-called loser's repechage. A bouncing board that catches the ball that should be an out ball and a prize opening above this are arranged in relation to each other, and the bouncing action of the bouncing board causes the ball to bounce upward and close to the prize opening. The feature is that the ball can be thrown into the ball and replaced with a safe ball.

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below based on the drawings.

FIG. 1 shows a front view of a pachinko machine according to the present invention. Pachinko machine 1 is conventionally known as game board 1.
is held almost vertically. In the game section of the game board 1 surrounded by the ball guide rail 2, there are a required number of winning pockets 3 and winning ball receivers 4 in addition to many obstacle nails.
is installed. An out ball hole 5 is provided on the lower side of the ball guide rail 3, and a pair of left and right flip-up plates 6, 6 are provided above the out ball hole 5 at an appropriate distance.
will be provided. As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, these flip-up plates 6, 6 have their rear ends pivoted to the game board surface by shafts 7, 7, and protrude approximately orthogonally from the flip-up plates 6, 6 on the back side. Arm piece 8,
8 are integrally provided, and elongated holes 9, 9 bored at the tips of the arm pieces 8, 8 are connected to support pins 12, 12 at the upper ends of the plungers 11, 11 of the solenoids 10, 10. The spring 13 wound around the plunger 11 normally biases the flip-up plates 6, 6 toward the solid line position in FIG. Reference numeral 14 denotes a prize opening that is installed at an appropriate distance from the top of the center of the bouncing plates 6, 6, and has an opening so as to easily receive the ball that has been bounced upward by the bouncing plates 6, 6. It is shaped like a large basket.

On the other hand, push buttons 15, 15 that can be operated by a player are provided at the lower front of the pachinko machine. As shown in FIG.
It protrudes from the solenoid 1 to the back side and is pivotally connected to the solenoid 1 so that it can move up and down with support shafts 19, 19.
The actuating pieces 21, 21 of the switches 20, 20 connected to the switches 0, 10 are brought into pressable contact.

The pachinko machine of the present invention configured as described above is
The ball handle 22 is the same as a normal pachinko machine.
By the operation, the balls are fired into the game section, and all the balls except those that enter the winning pocket 3 or the winning ball receptacle 4 flow down the gaming section and become out balls.
Therefore, among these balls that should be out balls,
When the push button 15 on the side of the bounce-up plates 6, 6, where the ball is predicted to fall, is pressed with a finger, the support rod 16 tilts around the support shaft 19 as shown by the chain line in FIG.
Press to close the switch 20. At the same time, the plunger 11 of the solenoid 10, which is electrically connected to the switch 20, operates to flip up the flip-up plates 6, 6 from the solid line position to the chain line position shown in FIG. . When the user releases his or her finger from the push button 15, the solenoids 10, 10 are demagnetized, and the return elasticity of the plunger 11 causes the flip-up plate 6 to return to the solid line position in the figure, ready for the next operation.

In addition, in this embodiment, the solenoids 10, 10 are provided for each of the flip-up plates 6, 6, and the description has been made assuming that the left and right panels can be operated independently, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the left and right panels may be configured to be linked together. In this case, of course, only one push button is required, and only one solenoid is required.

As mentioned above, the pachinko machine of the present invention is designed to bounce balls that should flow downwards into the gaming section and become out balls, by flipping them upwards with a lifting board and throwing them into the prize opening to make them safe balls. 2 with one ball
Players can enjoy the fun of the game, and there are more opportunities to get safe balls, giving satisfaction to the players.
This has the effect of increasing the interest in pachinko games.

Claims (1)

[Claims] 1. A game board with an out ball hole formed below and a ball-hitting guide rail surrounding the game section is held almost vertically, and a ball fired from below the game board is hit. In a pachinko machine configured to play by guiding balls to an upper position along a guide rail and dropping them from the upper position of the game board along the game board surface, the ball is installed at a position diagonally above the out ball hole of the game board. It is formed into a thin rectangular shape, and one end facing outward in the lateral direction is supported by a shaft that penetrates at right angles to the game board surface, so that the surface of the thick part maintains a constant distance from the game board surface. A flip-up board that is rotatably attached as shown in the figure, an arm piece whose L-shaped side passes through the game board and is connected to a part of the flip-up board, and the plunger is connected to the other side of the arm piece. a solenoid installed on the back side of the game board; a prize opening provided at a position above the position on the game board where the flip-up board is formed to receive balls bounced upward by the bounce-up board; and a pachinko machine. It is equipped with a push button that is installed on the front of the machine and commands the rotation of the flip-up plate when operated, and a circuit that electrically energizes a solenoid in response to the operation of the push button. This pachinko machine is characterized in that, when operated, a solenoid is energized to rotate a flip-up board so that falling balls are bounced upwards on a game board by the flip-up board.
