Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to a ball winning device for a pachinko machine.

[Prior art and its problems] Conventionally, a pair of movable pieces are rotatably mounted on the front surface of a mounting board with an interval between them, and a special prize opening and a general prize opening are provided between the two movable pieces. Various types of hit ball winning devices are known in which a movable piece rotates to be in a state where it is easy to accept the hit ball, thereby receiving the ball and guiding it to a special winning hole or a general winning hole.

However, in most of these, the ball cannot be received into the winning hole when the movable piece does not rotate, so they lack interest.

[Object of the Invention] Therefore, the object of the present invention is to allow the player to receive the ball that passes between the movable pieces into the winning hole or pass it downwards even when the movable pieces do not rotate. To provide a ball winning device for a pachinko machine that attracts interest and increases chance of winning, thereby making the game more interesting.

[Means for Achieving the Object] The present invention has a center winning opening and left and right winning openings lined up at the upper position of the mounting board, and a first state in which the left and right winning openings are stopped upright on both sides, and a reverse eight. The second part tilts in the shape of a letter.
A pair of movable pieces that can be converted into a first state are pivoted to face each other, and a pair of movable pieces that protrude toward the front side of the mounting board are provided below the periphery of the center prize opening, and a pair of movable pieces that can be converted into a first state are provided on both sides. A ball receiving shelf is provided in a protruding manner to form an interval through which the balls can pass.

[Example] An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

In the figure, ■ is a mounting board, and the center winning hole 2 and the left and right winning holes 3.3 are opened side by side in the upper position of the center part, and the respective side positions of the left and right winning holes 3, 3 are opened. A pair of movable pieces 4, 4 are rotatably provided. Reference numeral 5 designates a decorative cover member fixed to the front surface of the mounting board 1 to cover the front part of the lower part of the movable pieces 4, 4, and communicates with the lower side of the periphery of the center prize opening 2 on its inner surface. Shape ball receiving fence 6
are integrally protruded. Reference numeral 7 denotes a box-shaped frame integrally provided on the back side of the mounting board 1, and partition walls 8, 8 are provided inside the box-shaped frame.
are protruding from the center winning hole 2 and the left and right winning holes 3, 3 to form ball passages in both stages, and ball outlets 9 and 10.
is provided.

The movable pieces 4, 4 have a support shaft 11° 11 at a substantially mid-height position.
The support shafts 11 and 11 are made to protrude to the back side of the mounting board 1 and are inserted into shaft holes 12 and 12 formed in the rear wall of the box-shaped frame 7, respectively, so that the support shafts are rotatably mounted. With something that
Arm members 14.14 having engagement pins 13.13 projecting thereon are fixed to the shaft ends of the support shafts 11.11, respectively.

Reference numeral 15 denotes a solenoid as a driving means for rotating the movable pieces 4, 4, and is attached to the rear wall of the box-shaped frame 7. Solenoid 15
An engaging member 17 is fixed to the lower end of the plunger 16 .

Elongated holes 18.18 are formed at both ends of the engaging member 17,
The support shaft 11.1 of the movable pieces 4, 4 is inserted into this elongated hole 18.1g.
One engagement pin 13.13 faces and is interconnected. The engagement member 17 is connected to the plunger 16 of the solenoid 15.
The movable piece 4.4 is always urged downward by a spring 19 wound around the movable piece 4. As a result, the movable piece 4.4 is stopped in the first upright state as shown by the solid line in FIG. Also, in this state, the distance between each movable piece 4°4 and the ball receiving shelf 6 is 20°.
．． 20 is chosen so that the ball can pass through.

Next, the operation of this embodiment will be explained. When the solenoid 15 is demagnetized and the movable pieces 4, 4 are stopped in an upright position in the first state as shown by the solid line in Fig. 2, the ball flowing between the movable pieces 4, 4 is at the center of the ball receiver 1lIII6. When the ball falls into the center, it is guided to the central prize opening 2 and has many opportunities to become a rented ball. Also, for balls that cannot fall into the ball tray 6 or that fall on the edge of the ball tray 6, the interval is 20.20.
It is merely guided downward by passing through one of the two.

On the other hand, when the solenoid 15 is energized, the plunger 16 is attracted upward as shown by the chain line in FIG. 4, and the engaging member 17 is also pulled upward accordingly. For this reason, the support shaft 11.
The engaging pin 13.13 at the end of the shaft 11 is rotated outward, and the movable pieces 4, 4 are tilted in an inverted eight shape as shown by the chain line in FIG. 2, thereby converting to the second state. In this way, the movable piece 4
, 4 is converted from the first state to the second state, each movable piece 4
, 4 and the ball holder 11116 are in communication, with an interval of 2.
The balls received by the movable pieces 4, 4 to block the 0.20 are guided through the upper surface to either the center prize opening 2 or the left and right prize openings 3, 3, and all of them become prize winners.

[Effect of the invention] As explained above, in the ball winning device according to the present invention, the movable piece 4.4 is stopped in an upright state by the ball receiving shelf 6 provided on the lower front surface of the periphery of the central winning hole 2. Even in the first state, an opportunity is created to receive the hit ball on the ball receiving shelf 6 and win a prize in the central winning hole 2, making it easy for the hit ball to win and improving the service to the players.

In addition, depending on the position of the ball that falls, it is possible to add chance to the way the ball wins, such as guiding it to the central Oga exit or passing it straight to the bottom. can be increased. Then, the hit ball that won into the center winning hole 2 and the left and right winning holes 3, 3
The value given is different depending on the hit ball that wins the prize, and for example, when a hit ball enters the center winning hole 2, the movable pieces 4, 4 continue the second state in which the hit ball is easy to enter for a certain period of time,
Alternatively, if the opening and closing operations can be repeated a certain number of times, the interest of the players can be further increased.
