PRIZE-WINNING DEVICE IN JAPANESE PINBALL GAME (PACHINKO) MACHINE

摘要

PURPOSE: To specify the mode of receiving and discharging a prize-winning ball to/from the prize-winning device by providing a ball stop piece which is displaced following a movable blade piece for expanding and contracting a prize-winning port, and switching to either state where the prize-winning balls can or can not be checked. ;CONSTITUTION: A pair of movable blade pieces 8 for expanding and contracting a prize-winning port 9 to an opened attitude and a closed attitude, and a transmission member 20 rocking in the vertical direction by a solenoid 10 are connected so as to be interlockable. In the transmission member 20, a ball stop piece 24 is formed which is displaced downward and goes into a terminating part of a prize-winning ball passage 15 at the time when the movable blade piece 8 is opened, and displaced upward and saved from the terminating part of the prize-winning ball passage 15 at the time when it is closed, and the movable blade piece 8 is converted by the solenoid 10, and simultaneously, the state where a prize-winning ball can be checked in the prize-winning ball passage and a state where it is impossible are switched. Accordingly, the prize-winning ball is checked temporarily by the ball stop piece 24, stopped in the prize-winning ball passage 15, and thereafter, can be discharged in the lump, and the mode of receiving and discharging the prize-winning ball can be made specialized.;COPYRIGHT: (C)1995,JPO
