Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION (Field of Industrial Application) The present invention relates to a handheld ball box used by players in pachinko parlors to store, organize, and move pachinko balls.

(Conventional technology) Pachinko parlors are equipped with plastic ball boxes of several sizes that can accommodate the appropriate amount of pachinko balls. Players can freely use it to organize their prize balls, and to carry them to settlement after playing.

(Problem to be solved by the invention) By the way, the balls that come out of a pachinko machine pass through various routes, and they can become charged with static electricity due to friction with crops during this route. When a charged ball is housed in a plastic ball box that is considered to be an electrically poor conductor, and when a player happens to touch it, the static electricity on the ball is instantly discharged and the player receives a strong electric shock. There is.

This invention was developed in consideration of the above points, and the static electricity of the balls charged in the ball box used by the player is naturally discharged, so that the player does not receive an electric shock due to this static electricity. The purpose is to provide a convenient ball box.

(Means for Solving the Problems) The gist of the present invention for solving the above object is that the upper surface of the bottom of the box is in contact with the storage balls, and the lower surface is in contact with the mounting surface on which the box is placed. This ball box for pachinko parlors is characterized by inserting a conductive bottom made of conductive plastic that can discharge static electricity.

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

FIG. 1 is a plan view of the ball box of the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a longitudinal sectional view.

In the figure, ■ is a ball box that opens upward, and the side wall 3 rises upward and outward from the bottom plate 2, and a mounting edge 4 that projects downward is formed on the outer periphery of the bottom plate. It is made of plastic.

In the ball box 1 of this invention, a conductive bottom part 5 made of conductive plastic is inserted extending from the bottom plate 2 to the mounting edge 4.

When inserting this conductive bottom part 5 into the ball box 1, in addition to making the entire conductive bottom part 5 by extending from the bottom plate 2 to the mounting edge 4 as shown in the illustrated example, the side wall 3 is inserted from the corner part rising from the bottom plate 2. It is also possible to form a locally conductive bottom portion 5 over the mounting seat 4 .

In short, the conductive bottom part 5 is inserted as a part of the ball box 1, and the top surface of this bottom part 5 comes into contact with the storage surface A inside the ball box, and the bottom surface of the bottom, that is, the mounting edge 4, is inserted into the ball box 1. It may be of any type as long as it comes into contact with the external mounting surface B that is placed on the surface.

(Function) In the ball box 1 of the present invention configured as described above, when it is placed on the external placement surface B, its placement edge 4 comes into contact with the external placement surface B, and this placement surface Ball box 1 when B is made of a conductive material
The balls A housed inside the box are electrically connected to the external mounting surface B, thereby discharging the static electricity held by the balls A inside the ball box, as shown in FIG.

Therefore, when a ball box 1 is placed on a shelf made of metal such as aluminum that is installed below the ball tray of a pachinko machine at a pachinko parlor, the balls A stored in the ball box 1 and the shelf surface are electrically connected. If the balls in the ball box are charged with static electricity, this will naturally discharge.

(Effects) As is clear from the above explanation, the ball box of this invention is made of plastic and is completely the same as known ball boxes in terms of form and handling. As a result, when the ball box is placed on an external mounting surface (conductive material), the static electricity of the balls stored in the ball box is naturally discharged.
This is a convenient device that allows you to safely enjoy pachinko games without being exposed to electrical shock when your hands touch the balls from above.

Claims (1)

[Claims] A pachinko parlor characterized in that a conductive bottom made of conductive plastic is inserted into the bottom of the box, the top surface of which contacts the stored balls and the bottom surface of which contacts the mounting surface on which the box is placed to discharge static electricity. A box of balls on hand.
