Description

Pinball game machine which launches ball on its right side}

The present invention relates to a pinball game machine in which artificial probabilistic manipulation is impossible and a ball is fired from the right side of the display. More specifically, a mechanically operated pinball using a mechanical force of a motor that converts electrical energy into mechanical energy and a tension force of a spring It relates to a pinball game machine in which the ball is launched from the right side of the display using the game machine ball launch tube.

In the conventional pinball game machine, a firing force control device using an electronic circuit using a printed circuit board (PCB) has been used. In the electronically controlled ball firing device using a PCB, the firing intensity of the ball was adjusted according to the rotation angle of the firing knob connected to the PCB. The circuitry of the PCB controlled the firing intensity of the ball by adjusting the strength of the motor according to the sensed angle of rotation of the firing knob.

Therefore, in the conventional launching apparatus, the game maker or provider can arbitrarily manipulate the PCB circuit so that the launcher always fires at a constant intensity. In other words, instead of controlling the ball's firing intensity by adjusting the rotation angle of the firing knob to his choice, the player could manipulate the PCB circuit so that the ball is always fired at a constant intensity. Therefore, a ball having only a certain intensity is fired so that various results are not produced by the player's selection, but a constant result is obtained. As the game was not always chosen by the player, but always made a result by the operation, the negative image of the pinball game machine (aka, puffing) came into play.

In addition, since the ball's firing force is determined only by the firing force of the motor, a motor that can control the firing intensity should be used. Furthermore, a motor with a stronger force is used to enhance the firing force of the ball. There were problems such as cost, energy efficiency, and space usage.

In particular, in the problem of the use of the space of the pinball game machine of the known art, the right-handed handedness in accordance with the reality of our country, the launching hand was positioned on the right side, but due to the limitation of the spatial configuration, the game machine having the configuration in which the ball is fired on the left side It is provided. Therefore, while adjusting the firing knob located on the right with the right hand, the eye moves to the left due to the direction of the ball to the left to reduce the concentration and there is a problem that the visual fatigue increases when playing the game for a long time.

The ball is fired from the bottom right of the display and proceeds to the left and then back to the top. Therefore, the shooting force of the ball is weakened and proceeds to the upper portion, so the length of the firing induction pipe proceeding to the upper portion is shortened, and the height of the display portion is small, and the display portion is not perpendicular to the horizontal plane and has an inclination. Therefore, there is a problem that the real sense and the thrill of the game is falling.

In addition, the firing induction pipe is formed in a circular shape in the process of the ball is reduced in the movement force of the ball does not occur a regular result according to the adjustment of the game, there are problems such as noise.

Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide a pinball amusement machine having a launch guide formed from the right side of the display unit and the other side in a hook shape by using a ball launch tube whose ball launching force is controlled by mechanical manipulation. .
