Ru.

Normally, as described above, each preset winning condition is satisfied and detected at an appropriate rate due to the occurrence of a specific grand prize ball, and each prize ball is delivered by the prize ball feeding device P.

That is, the first detection means 66 normally detects the winning ball S1 (O
N) It is usually assumed that the Oga condition is satisfied for this event, and the first
As the electromagnetic solenoid 6o is energized and the loft 61 rises, the first scraping member 62 is tilted upward to release the first ball case 53 at the ball insertion position, as shown in FIG. 5(b). As a result, the case 53 changes to the ball release position using its own weight and part of the pressure of the prize balls, so that the prize balls (for example, 10 balls) in the accommodation path 55 are moved to the guide slope 58 of the piece 57. It flows out as if sliding along the discharge path 43 and reaches the outlet 3.
Passes through to the prize ball supply path 30 via 0A. Furthermore, ball case 5
At the ball release position 3, the regulating piece 56 prevents the ball from flowing out within the outlet passage 48 of the distribution rectifier 44.

And the rod 61 accompanying the demagnetization of the first solenoid 6o
As shown in FIG. 5(a), the first operating member 62
By pushing back the ball case 53 with the guide element 65 while being tilted downward, the ball case 53 returns to the original ball insertion position and is restrained by the same member 62. As a result, the next prize ball is accommodated from the distribution rectifier 44 into both accommodation paths 55. In addition, when receiving the prize ball fed into the prize ball feeding path 30, the guide lever 3 of FIG.
9 is once tilted, the winning ball processing unit 31
The control member 34 is operated to release the normal winning balls S in the processing path 33, while the processing device 32 returns to its original position.

Note that the first means 66 is paused (O
FF).

On the other hand, the measure 2 detection means 67 detects the specific winning ball S2 (ON)
In response to this, the variable symbol display device 21 receives the start input from the means 67 and performs variable symbol operation, while the second electromagnetic solenoid 60 is energized and the rod 61 is raised as the specific winning condition is satisfied. According to the second operating member 62
is tilted upward. As a result, as soon as the second ball case 53 is released from the operating member 62, it changes to the ball ejecting position using its own weight and penetrating pressure in the same way as described above, and ejects the prize balls (for example, 5 balls) into the ejection path 43. 0 then solenoid 6o
As the second ball case 5 is demagnetized and the operating member 62 is lowered, the second ball case 5
3 returns to its original position and is restrained to accommodate the next prize ball.

Thereafter, normally, each time a specific winning ball is detected, the ball case 53
．． 53 may be individually actuated to dispense respective prize balls. When the first and second detection means 66, 67 detect and when the solenoid 60, 60 moves back, the display 71 will add and subtract numbers, indicating that the memory retention function is active. Players' misidentifications and troubles related to balls can be avoided, and a chain of trust among the players can be obtained.

In particular, in the pachinko machine of this example, the percentage of fulfillment of the specific winning conditions can be set in advance to a required value, and can be adjusted as necessary using a game nail or the like (not shown) in the game surface 16. In addition, the prize ball feeding device P is configured to be installed in the existing mechanism center board 26, and the distribution rectification 4144 is configured such that the inlet 46 and the outlet 48 are arranged in accordance with the feeding gutter 38 of the prize ball storage section 35. Since they are formed in two rows and one outlet 48 is connected to the branch outlet 49, the talk itself can be configured to the minimum necessary size. Moreover, by interposing the detour path 47 between the circuit 46 and the outlet path 48 and branch path 49,
By skillfully changing the direction of the prize ball, the pressure on the prize ball in the outlet passage 48 and the branching passage 49 can be significantly reduced, and the circulation of the prize ball, especially the passage into the ball case 53, 53, can be made extremely smooth. .

Regarding the ball case 53.53, the upper tilting fulcrum 5
4, so that part of its own weight and the pressure of the winning ball acts in the direction of ball ejecting, so as soon as it is released from the corresponding operating member 62, 62, it instantly tilts in the direction of ejecting the ball. The prize ball can be ejected very smoothly, and the prize ball can be forcibly pushed back by the operating member 62, 62 to quickly return to the original ball insertion position to store the prize ball. As a result, ball cutting errors and delays can be avoided, and the original prize ball feeding operation can be continued accurately for a long time. In addition, the components such as the discharge path 43, the distribution rectifier 44, the ball case 53.53, the electromagnetic solenoid 60.60, and the operating member 62.62 are assembled in the main body 41, making the entire prize ball feeding device compact. It can be easily handled and is also easy to implement.

A cassette-type distribution rectifier 44 that distributes prize balls from the prize ball storage section 35 to a vertically long box-shaped main body 41 to which the rectifier 4 is attached.
4, a vertical rectangular cylindrical first part that accommodates and dispenses prize balls in constant units. a second ball case 53.53'; a first ball case 53.53'; Each ball case 53. is connected to a second electromagnetic solenoid 60.60'.
The first step is to switch and operate 53. Second operating member 62.62'
The entire system is constructed in cassette units. Note that an opening 42, 42 is formed in the center of the main body 41, and a discharge passage 43 communicating with the opening 30A of the prize ball feeding passage 30 is formed in the lower part. The distribution rectifier 44 has two rows of inlet passages 4G communicating with each passage of the supply FIA 38 in a rectangular body 45 that is removably fitted into the upper part of the main body 41 with screws or the like. A detour path 47 and an exit path 48 are formed into sections, and an oblique branch path 49 communicates with the exit path 48 from one detour path 47 (on the right side in FIG. 6). However, both entrances 4
6 and the exit path 48 are divided by a guide piece 50 that guides the ball to the detour path 47, and the exit path 48 and the branch path 49 are divided by a branch piece 51, and both exit paths 48 and 48 are for multiple balls, The outlet passage 49 is for a small number of winning balls, and their exits are aligned at the same position. One solution 1. The second ball cases 53 and 53' are vertically supported in a hanging state with their upper parts attached to one support shaft 54 that is removably passed through the center of the main body 41,
The first side (left side in FIG. 6) forms two rows of accommodation channels 55, and the second side (right side in the same figure) forms one row of accommodation channels 55. This ball case 53.53' is the same as the first one described later.
The second scraping member 62, 62' restrains and releases the accommodation channel 55, 55, which normally is connected to each outlet channel 48 of the distribution rectifier 44.
．． 49 is held at the ball receiving position. Under this condition, the prize balls from the supply gutter 38 initially flow from both passages 46 of the distribution rectifier 44 to the output passage 48 via the detour passage 47, and then flow into the two accommodation passages 55 of the first ball case 53. After the ball is stopped by the ball stopper piece 57, it is diverted from one detour path 47 to the branching path 49, passes through the accommodation path 55 of the second ball case 53, and is stopped by the ball stopper piece 57 (the fifth (see figure), in this state each ball case 53.53 is connected to the operating member 62.62'
When released from the ball, the ball is tilted to a ball ejecting position where the accommodation channel 55,55 is communicated with the ejection channel 43 of the main body 41, and the prize ball is fed out.
Then, when it is restored to the ball insertion position, the prize ball is placed in the storage path 55.5.
I go to work on 5th. However, while each ball case 53.53 is held in the ball receiving position, the lower end of the ball holder is latched to the piece 57 and has an oblique shape. The ball is held at rest with a portion of the pressure applied in the direction of ball release. Note that 56.56 is a regulating piece formed outside the entrance of the accommodation channel 55.55 of each ball case, which opens and closes the exit of the outlet channel 48.49 to regulate the inflow and outflow of the balls. The piece 57 is formed in the center of the main body 41 or attached detachably and replaceably, and the guide slope 58 allows each ball case 53.5 to
The prize ball within 3' can be received and transferred to the discharge path 43. And the first one above. The second electromagnetic solenoid 60.60' is
The first solenoid 60 is attached to the first detection means 66 side, and the second solenoid 6
0' are electrically connected to the second detection means 67 side. Said 1st. The second operating member 62, 62' is connected to the frame 59.
They are tiltably supported horizontally in parallel on one support shaft 63 at the inner lower part, and each central part is connected to the solenoid 6.
The corresponding ball case 53.53' is connected to the 0.60' long rod 1.61 through a connecting rod 64.64, and the free end (left end in FIG. 5) inserted into the mouth 42 of the main body 41. Guide elements 65, 65 are attached for restraining and releasing. Note that the distribution rectifier 44 and the frame 59 are attached to the main body 41 using common screws. The first detection means 66 is installed at the lower part of the processing path 33 of the winning ball processing unit 31 using a switch as shown in FIG. 2, and detects the normal winning balls S one by one. On the other hand, the second measure detecting means 67 detects each time the unloading lever 69 receives and discharges the specific winning balls S one by one into the case body 68 which has an input 168a and an exit 68b as shown in FIG. As shown in FIG.
(It may be in the middle of 5). However, the means 67 is also used as a starting means for giving a start input for changing the symbol to the variable symbol display device 21 every time a specific winning ball is detected. Note that the above 1. A digital display installed on the game board 14 side is electrically connected to the second electromagnetic solenoid 60, 60' and the detection means 66, 67. In this display 71, an addition is displayed each time the detection means 66.67 is detected (ON) on the display section of each winning ball S+ and St river, and a subtraction is displayed each time the solenoid 60.60' is activated. be done. Incidentally, regarding the control system related to these electrical components, as illustrated in FIG. 11, the input circuit 72
, the addition X1 circuit 73, the 1q reservation FtPr 74, the drive circuit 75, and the determination circuit, etc., as necessary, or by using the control device C, or the variable pattern display device ff21
It may also be incorporated into a control device (not shown) related to the big prize winning device 22. In this embodiment of the badinco game machine, the operating section 9 of the batted ball launcher is pressed to t! ! The ball hitting operation of the ball batting rod 11 driven by the drive unit io and the ball feeding operation of the feeding rectifier 7 interlocked with this cause the game balls in the ball tray 6 to become one. When the pieces are sent one by one to the game start part, that is, the firing part of the firing rail 13, and are hit by the batting rod 11, and when they enter each prize winning device 19.20 in the game surface 16, a preset winning prize is established. If it lands in 017, it is considered an out ball. Then, as shown schematically in Figure 3, 1 occurred at the 1st Jinkan 19.
ffl Ordinary prize ball S, from the exit path 23 to the guide path 2B
It is introduced into the winning ball processing unit 31 via and processed! 1it32
They are discharged one by one from the processing path 33-2 and temporarily held by the control member 34, during which time they are unloaded by the first detection means 66. In addition, the specific winning balls S generated in the second person component 20 are introduced from the exit path 24 to the discharge path 29 via the collection path 25, and are unloaded one by one by the second detection means 67 and sent out of the machine. be discharged. Then, for each of the winnings mentioned above, the prize ball feeding device WP
Individual prize balls are dispensed. In other words, when the first side-out means 66 detects (ON) the normal winning ball S, it is determined that the winning ball has been won normally, and the first electromagnetic solenoid 60 is energized and the rod 61 is raised as shown in FIG. 5(b). ), the first operating member 62 is extended upward to release the first ball case 53 at the ball insertion position. As a result, the case 53 uses its own weight and part of the pressure of the prize ball to change to the ball release position, and the prize ball in the storage path 55 slides along the guide slope 570 of the line receiver. is discharged into the discharge passage 43,
The ball is discharged from the opening 30^ to the prize ball supply path 30. At the ball release position of the ball case 53, each regulating piece 56 prevents the ball from flowing out of the outlet path 4B of the distribution rectifier 44. When the first solenoid 60 is demagnetized, as the rod 6I descends, the first operating member 6
2 is lowered around f and pushes back the ball case 53 with the guide 65.
As a result, the ball case 53 is restored to the ball insertion position and the same member 6
2, and after this, the next prize ball is stored in both accommodation paths 55 from the distribution rectifier 44. In connection with the fact that the guide lever 39 in FIG. 2 is once tilted in response to receiving the prize balls discharged into the prize ball supply path 30, the control member 34 of the prize ball processing section 31 is operated upward to process the prize balls. While the normal winning balls S in the path 33 are released, the processor 32 is restored by the same member 34. Further, the first detection means 66 is turned off (OFF) by the passing of the winning ball S. On the other hand, the second detection means 67 detects the specific winning ball S (ON)
In response to this, the variable pattern operating device ff21 uses the same means 67.
While performing variable pattern operation in response to starting input from
When it is determined that a specific prize has been won, the second electromagnetic solenoid 60' is energized and energized, and as the rod 61 rises, the second operating member 62
’ is tilted upward. As a result, as soon as the second ball case 53' is released from the operating member 62, it changes to the ball release position using its own weight and prize ball pressure, and releases the prize ball into the discharge path 43 (see Fig. 5b). ) 9 Then, as the solenoid 60' is demagnetized and the operating member 62 is restored, the second ball case 53'
is restrained in its original position and accommodates the next prize ball (see Figure 5a)). In particular, in the gaming machine of this example, in the prize ball feeding control for each normal and specific winning, the memory retention function is used for the detection of the first and second detection means 66, 67 and the operation of the solenoid 60, 60'. Since the numbers are added and subtracted and displayed on the display 71 during the operation, misunderstandings and troubles by the player regarding the supply of prize balls can be avoided, and the trust from the players can be gained. In addition, the prize ball feeding device P can be replaced with the existing mechanism set board 2.
The distribution rectifier 4144 is configured in a model example that can be installed in
Since the outlet passages 48 are formed in two rows and the branch outlet passage 49 is branched and communicated with one of the outlet passages 48, the vessel itself can be configured to the minimum necessary size. Moreover, the entrance road 46, the exit road 48, and the branch exit road 4
By interposing the detour 47 between the holes 9 and 9, the prize balls can be skillfully diverted and the pressure on the prize balls in the exit path 48 and the branch exit path 49 can be significantly reduced, and the distribution of the prize balls can be particularly improved. Passage into the ball case 53, 53' can be made extremely smooth. The ball cases 53 and 53' are supported by the upper tilting fulcrum 54 and are set so that part of their own weight and the pressure of the prize balls act in the ball ejecting direction, so that the corresponding operating member 62° As soon as it is released from 62', it instantly tilts in the ball ejecting direction to eject the prize ball very smoothly, and is forcibly pushed back by the operating member 62, 62' to quickly return to the ball receiving position. can accommodate prize balls. As a result, ball cutting errors and delays can be avoided, and the original prize ball feeding operation can be continued accurately for a long time. In addition, components such as the discharge passage 43, the distribution rectifier 44, the ball case 53.53, the electromagnetic solenoid 60.60, and the operating member 62.62' are assembled in the main body 41, so the entire prize ball feeding device is assembled. It can be made small and easy to handle, and can be easily implemented.
