However, since the impeller of a lamp windmill is generally manufactured by injection molding using a synthetic resin material, it is necessary to prepare a new molding die before manufacturing a new impeller. There has been a problem that a great deal of man-hours and costs are required for mold design and production. In addition, when the types of windmills manufactured for each game board are increased and the number of types is increased, many man-hours are required for mold management, production management, parts inventory management, etc., and production costs are reduced.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION To achieve the above object, the present invention provides a bullet for changing the falling state of a game ball, which is provided to protrude from the front of a game board and falls along the board of the game board. A windmill for a ball game machine, comprising a support fixed to a game board and an impeller rotatably supported on the support via a shaft member. The impeller has a shaft cylinder having a through hole through which the shaft member is inserted, a blade extending radially outward from the shaft cylinder, and a side edge of the blade provided on at least one end surface of the shaft cylinder. There is provided a decorative plate portion that defines the front and back of the impeller, and the impeller is configured to be attachable to the support base in any of a front-facing and a back-facing posture, thereby constituting a windmill of a ball game machine. In such a windmill, since an impeller rotatably supported on a support base fixed to the game board is configured to be attachable in any of the front and back postures, the impeller is formed using one molding die. It is possible to realize two types of windmills having different front and rear mountings of the car.

It is preferable that the decorative plate portion of the impeller has different designs on the front side and the back side. The decorative plate portion of the impeller is provided on at least one end surface of the shaft cylinder portion and defines the front and back.For example, when the decorative plate portion is provided only on the front surface side of the impeller, the front side or the back side thereof A configuration in which a decorative seal is attached only to the other side and no decorative seal is attached to the other side, a configuration in which a different decorative seal is attached to both sides, and a seal on the end face of the blade portion on the back side where no decorative plate portion is provided. And the like. Further, in an impeller having decorative plate portions having different diameters on both front and rear surfaces of the impeller, by applying the different designs as described above to the front and back surfaces of each decorative plate portion, it is possible to use an impeller using one molding die. Windmills with many different designs can be realized.

[0009] It is also preferable that the wind turbine is configured such that the height of the blade extending outward from the shaft cylinder differs depending on the position of the impeller in the front-to-back direction. For example, if it is configured to have a triangular or trapezoidal fin-shaped blade portion in which the height of the blade portion decreases from the front side to the back side of the impeller, the front and back of the impeller are merely design differences. Rather, it is possible to provide a difference in the function of the windmill that changes the movement trajectory of the game ball. Therefore, a windmill having different functions can be realized by an impeller using one molding die. Then, by combining with the impellers having the different designs, it is possible to realize an extremely large number of versions of the windmill while using the impeller using one molding die.

The shaft member in each of the above-mentioned windmills contacts the inner peripheral surface of the through hole on the outer peripheral surface and rotatably supports the impeller, and is formed at one end of the shaft portion and is larger than the axial portion. The through hole has a support hole for loosely inserting the shaft, and a counterbore-shaped stepped hole formed at the front and back ends of the support hole and having a diameter larger than the diameter of the head. It is desirable to configure the windmill of the ball game machine so as to have the following. According to such a configuration, the impeller is supported by the shaft in the support hole so as to be rotatable in the radial direction, and the stepped hole is supported by the head in the thrust direction by being restricted from moving in the thrust direction. Since the stepped holes are provided at the front and back ends of the through hole of the impeller, the impeller can be mounted in the same manner as the front and back.
Also, by making the depth of the stepped holes the same, there is no need to change the shaft member or the support for each mounting position of the impeller, and the same support uses the same shaft member for the front and back. Can be attached. Therefore, by changing only the mounting direction of the impeller without changing other components such as the support base, it is possible to provide many versions of the wind turbine. In addition, since the head of the shaft member is disposed in the stepped hole, the decorative effect covering the upper surface of the stepped hole is adhered to cover the head and the stepped hole, thereby achieving a design effect. Can be enhanced.
