As shown in FIG. 3A, the ball receiving member 11 provided at the accessory entrance 2 has a retracted position that is normally stored in the accessory entrance 2. The front end portion thereof is substantially flush with the board surface 1 and forms a part of the outer edge of the accessory entrance 2. Then, the ball receiving member 11 is attached to a rotary shaft 13 provided in the board surface 1 vertically downward from the lower end of the accessory entrance 2 and the rotary shaft 13 is rotated by 180 degrees. As shown in FIG. 3 (b), it appears in front of the accessory entrance 2 and becomes the projecting position. Note that FIG. 3 shows components for attaching the ball receiving structure to the board surface main body, and the board surface main body is much thicker than the plate material shown as the board surface 1 in FIG. The rotary shaft 13 installed in parallel with is connected to a rotation drive unit (not shown) in the board body. The portion serving as the guide wall of the accessory entrance 2 is also provided so as to protrude to the back surface side longer than the thickness of the board surface 1 shown in FIG. The upper end of the rotary shaft 13 is fitted and fixed in a recess provided on the lower surface of the ball receiving member 11.

When the projection position is reached in this way, the ball receiving member 11 has a shape like a quarter ball which is obtained by vertically cutting a hemisphere having an upper opening and dividing the hemisphere into two. In other words, the bowl is cut vertically and divided into two parts. The cut portion is located at the lower side of the outer edge of the accessory entrance 2 and is like a single-ended spout. It has a unique shape.
The inner surface of the ball receiving member 11 facing the accessory entrance 2 is a concave curved surface, and the bottom surface portion of the concave surface is inclined upward from the board surface 1 to the curved surface. The ball 10 that has fallen is hit and rebounded so as to enter the accessory entrance 2. That is, the ball 10 that has entered the ball receiving member 11 is almost surely inserted into the accessory hole 2 and is pushed out to the outside without entering the accessory hole 2. Not likely.

The ball receiving member 11 in the projecting position as shown in FIG. 3 (b) is retracted into the board surface 1 as shown in FIG. 3 (a) by rotating the rotary shaft 13 again by 180 degrees. Becomes In this state, the accessory entrance 2 is opened perpendicularly to the board surface 1, and the ball receiving member 11 also has a front end portion on the board surface 1.
Therefore, the ball 10 falling in front of the board 1 does not enter the accessory entrance 2.

The timing at which the ball receiving member 11 moves from the retracted position to the projecting position can be set to various timings, but here, when the ball 10 passes through one of the through chuckers 6 and 6. The passage of the ball 10 is detected by a sensor, and the ball receiving member 11 is moved to the projecting position so as to appear in front of the accessory entrance 2. The timing for moving the ball receiving member 11 in the projecting position to the retracted position can be set to various timings, but here, it is the timing when 5 seconds have elapsed after the ball receiving member 11 appeared in the projecting position. When a ball falls into the accessory entrance 2 during these 5 seconds, it enters the accessory entrance 2.

Next, the movement of the ball 10 that has entered the accessory entrance 2 will be described. Since the accessory entrance 2 is connected to the first outlet 3 on the back side of the board 1 by a first passage (not shown), the ball 10 entering the accessory entrance 2 passes through the first passage. It appears through the first exit 3 to the front side of the board 1. As shown in FIG. 4, a receiving port 22 of the storage device 4 is provided vertically below the first outlet 3, and a guide wall 21 is provided up to that point so that the sphere 10 is almost certainly stored in the storage device 4. It is supposed to lead to.

The storage device 4 is provided on the board surface 1 as a concentric double cylinder, and can store a plurality of balls 10 between the side walls of the two cylinders 23 and 24. Here, a space 25 (reservoir) is provided for only five balls 10, and a baffle plate 26 (opening / closing member) for partitioning the space is installed in the inner cylinder 23 so that no balls enter the remaining space. Has been done. The inner cylinder 23, together with the baffle plate 26, is always slowly rotating clockwise around the central axis, while the outer cylinder 24 is fixed. Since the front surface of the storage device 4 is the glass plate installed in front of the board surface 1, the player can visually check the inside of the storage device 4 and the stored balls 10 can be visually recognized. That is, the space 25, which is the storage portion, rotates together with the stored balls 10 as the baffle plate 26 rotates.

The storage mode is a mode in which the space 25 in which the sphere 10 is inserted is connected to the receiving port 22 of the sphere 10. At this time, when the number of the spheres 10 in the space 25 is less than 5, The sphere 10 can further enter the space 25 through the receiving port 22. Then, when the inner cylinder 23 rotates and the space 25 containing the sphere is connected to the discharge port 27 provided at the lower end of the outer cylinder 24 to be in the discharge mode, the sphere 10 in the space 25 exits from the discharge port 27. Then, it goes into the delivery port 5 located below it (Fig. 4 (b)).

Further, the storage device 4 has a space 25 into which a sphere enters and an inner cylinder 2 through a glass plate provided on the front surface of the board 1.
Since the player can see the movements of the baffle plate 3 and the baffle plate 26 or the delivery port 5 and the like, the player visually recognizes the number of stored balls 10 and increases the number in the game. I am enthusiastic and excited. Further, when the baffle plate 26 closes the discharge port 27 and gradually approaches the state where the space 25 storing the sphere 10 and the discharge port 27 are connected by rotating little by little, the player passes through the glass plate to see that state. Can be seen, so expectations are raised that the stored balls 10 should be paid out at once.

Since a plurality of balls are stored in the storage section in the storage mode and all the balls stored in the discharge mode are continuously discharged from the discharge port, there is a high possibility that a plurality of balls will win at one time. Give satisfaction to. Since the balls are stored in the storage portion in a visible manner, the player is enthusiastic about the game in order to store more balls. Since the holding member moves visibly and the movement moves the sphere from the storage mode to the discharge mode, or the opening / closing member rotates visibly and opens and closes the discharge port,
The discharge timing of the balls to the discharge port can be visually checked, which makes the player entertaining. The ball discharged from the discharge port goes out from another outlet through the back surface of the board, so the movement of the ball is interesting and entertains the player.
