The guide wall 75 includes left and right side wall portions 75a and 75b and a bottom wall portion 75c, and is surrounded by the wall portions 75a, 75b, and 75c, and the ball discharge guide member is opened in a U-shaped groove space that extends upward and backward. 72 is located. A stopper engaging portion 75d protruding inward is formed on the inner surface of the front end portion of the right side wall portion 75b. The cover plate 76 is fixed with screws so as to connect the front upper ends of the left and right side wall portions 75a and 75b, and passes through a rectangular opening surrounded by the left and right and bottom wall portions 75a, 75b and 75c and the cover plate 76. A ball discharge guide member 72 projects into the U-shaped groove space. An engagement small hole 76a is formed in the right end portion of the cover plate 76 so as to penetrate vertically.

このように蝶番71aにより前後に揺動可能に取り付けられた幕板71の右端部を最も前に引き出した位置にあるときの状態を図6および図7(並びに図3の左側に示す島構造体10に取り付けられたパチンコ機PM)に示しており、幕板71を最も後に押し込んだ位置にあるときの状態を図5(および図3の右側に示す島構造体10に取り付けられたパチンコ機PM)に示している。ここで、図6に示すように最も引き出した状態を幕板71(および球排出ガイド部材72)が開放位置にあると称し、図6および図7に示すように最も押し込んだ状態を幕板71(および球排出ガイド部材72)が閉塞位置にあると称する。   6 and 7 (and the island structure shown on the left side of FIG. 3) when the right end portion of the curtain plate 71 attached so as to be swingable back and forth by the hinge 71a is in the most forwardly drawn position. The pachinko machine PM attached to the island structure 10 shown in the right side of FIG. 5 (and the right side of FIG. 3) is shown in FIG. ). Here, the state where the curtain plate 71 (and the ball discharge guide member 72) is in the open position is referred to as the most pulled out state as shown in FIG. 6, and the state where the curtain plate 71 is pushed in most as shown in FIGS. (And the ball discharge guide member 72) are said to be in the closed position.

図6から良く分かるように、幕板71および球排出ガイド部材72が前方に引き出されるときにストッパ突起74aがストッパ係合部75dと当接して開放位置に位置し、且つ後側の小突起74bが係合小孔76a内に入り込んで係合され、幕板71はこれ以上前には移動できなくなる。このように開放位置に位置した状態では、図7に示すように、球排出ガイド部材72の前面壁73aは下球皿装置50の球排出孔51aより前側に位置し、樋状空間72aの前部が球排出孔51aの下方に位置し、球排出孔51aから排出された遊技球は樋状空間72a内に落下する。球排出ガイド部材72の底面壁73cおよびガイド壁75の底壁部75cは図7に示すように後方に向かって下がるテーパ状に形成されており、樋状空間72a内に落下した遊技球はこのテーパに沿って後方に転がってパチンコ機PMの背面側に排出されるように構成されている。   As can be clearly seen from FIG. 6, when the curtain plate 71 and the ball discharge guide member 72 are pulled forward, the stopper projection 74a comes into contact with the stopper engaging portion 75d and is positioned in the open position, and the rear small projection 74b. Enters the engagement small hole 76a and is engaged, and the curtain plate 71 cannot move any further. In this state, the front wall 73a of the ball discharge guide member 72 is positioned in front of the ball discharge hole 51a of the lower ball tray device 50, as shown in FIG. The part is located below the ball discharge hole 51a, and the game ball discharged from the ball discharge hole 51a falls into the bowl-shaped space 72a. As shown in FIG. 7, the bottom wall 73c of the ball discharge guide member 72 and the bottom wall 75c of the guide wall 75 are formed in a tapered shape so as to be lowered rearward. It is configured to roll backward along the taper and be discharged to the back side of the pachinko machine PM.

図6のように開放位置にある状態から幕板71の右側前面を後方に押すと、後側の小突起74bと係合小孔76aとの係合が外れて蝶番71aを中心として幕板71を後方に揺動させることができる。このようにして幕板71を後方に揺動させると、図5に示すように、幕板71の右端後面が右枠板23の前端面に当接して幕板71が閉塞位置に位置し、これ以上後方に揺動させることがでなくなる。このとき、前側の小突起74cが係合小孔76a内に入り込んで係合され、幕板71は閉塞位置で仮止め保持される。このように幕板71が閉塞位置に位置すると幕板71が前枠20の下側において外枠20の枠空間を前面側から覆って閉塞する。   When the right front surface of the curtain plate 71 is pushed backward from the open position as shown in FIG. 6, the engagement between the rear small protrusion 74b and the engagement small hole 76a is released, and the curtain plate 71 is centered on the hinge 71a. Can be swung backward. When the curtain plate 71 is swung rearward in this way, as shown in FIG. 5, the rear end of the right end of the curtain plate 71 contacts the front end face of the right frame plate 23, and the curtain plate 71 is positioned at the closed position. No more rocking backwards. At this time, the small projection 74c on the front side enters and engages with the engagement small hole 76a, and the curtain plate 71 is temporarily held at the closed position. Thus, when the curtain plate 71 is located at the closing position, the curtain plate 71 covers the frame space of the outer frame 20 from the front side and closes on the lower side of the front frame 20.

幕板71の右端部にはロックキー77が図示のように取り付けられており、前面側キー穴にキーを差し込んで回動させると、幕板71の後側に位置してロックキー77に取り付けられたロック板77aを、図4において破線で示す解錠位置と二点鎖線で示す施錠位置とに回動移動させることができるようになっている。上述のように幕板71を開放位置に位置させたり、前後に開閉揺動させたりするときにはロック板77aを解錠位置に位置させておく。一方、幕板71を閉塞位置に位置させた状態において、ロック板77aを施錠位置に移動させると、図5に示すようにロック板77aの先端が右枠板23に形成されたロック溝23a内に入り込み、幕板71を前方に引き出すことができなくなり、幕板71は閉塞位置でロック保持される。   A lock key 77 is attached to the right end of the curtain plate 71 as shown in the figure. When the key is inserted into the front side keyhole and rotated, the lock key 77 is located on the rear side of the curtain plate 71 and attached to the lock key 77. The lock plate 77a thus obtained can be pivotally moved to an unlocked position indicated by a broken line and a locked position indicated by a two-dot chain line in FIG. As described above, the lock plate 77a is positioned at the unlocking position when the curtain plate 71 is positioned at the open position or when it is opened and closed back and forth. On the other hand, when the lock plate 77a is moved to the locking position in a state where the curtain plate 71 is located at the closed position, the tip of the lock plate 77a is inside the lock groove 23a formed in the right frame plate 23 as shown in FIG. Then, the curtain plate 71 cannot be pulled out forward, and the curtain plate 71 is locked and held in the closed position.

以上の構成のパチンコ機PMにおいて、遊技ホール側における点検整備等に際しては、幕板71を前方に引き出して開放位置に位置させる。点検整備においては、入賞装置38等に遊技球を投入して賞球の払出が正常に行えるか等の点検を行ったり、試し打ちをして正常な作動を行うかの点検を行ったりするため、上球皿部41内に遊技球が払い出されて貯留される。このように貯留された遊技球は、遊技ホールを開店して遊技に供する前に回収する必要があるが、従来においては、このように上球皿部41内に貯まった遊技球を上球皿装置40の排出レバー42を操作して下球皿部51内に送り出し、さらに、下球皿部51内に貯まった遊技球を操作レバー53aを操作して球排出孔51aから排出させ、天板14上に置いた球回収箱に回収させたり、ガラス扉33を開けてアウト口39から背面側に排出させていた。   In the pachinko machine PM having the above-described configuration, when performing inspection and maintenance on the game hall side, the curtain plate 71 is pulled out to the open position. In the inspection and maintenance, in order to check whether or not the winning ball can be paid out normally by inserting the game ball into the winning device 38 or the like, or to check whether or not the trial operation is performed normally. The game balls are paid out and stored in the upper ball tray portion 41. The game balls stored in this manner need to be collected before the game hall is opened and used for the game. Conventionally, the game balls stored in the upper ball tray portion 41 are used as the upper ball tray. The discharge lever 42 of the apparatus 40 is operated to be sent into the lower ball tray 51, and the game balls stored in the lower ball tray 51 are further discharged from the ball discharge hole 51a by operating the operation lever 53a. 14 was collected in a ball collection box placed on the top 14, or the glass door 33 was opened and discharged from the outlet 39 to the back side.

しかしながら、本発明に係る球排出ガイド装置70を取り付けたときには、点検整備に際して上球皿部41内に貯まった遊技球を、上球皿装置40の排出レバー42を操作して下球皿部51内に送り出し、さらに、下球皿部51内に貯まった遊技球を、操作レバー53aを操作して球排出孔51aから排出させると、この遊技球は開放位置に位置した幕板71の後面に取り付けられた球排出ガイド部材72の樋状空間72a内に落下し、底面壁73d上を後方に転がり移動し、ガイド壁75のU字状空間内に排出される。このとき、ガイド壁75の底壁部75cは後方に向かって下がるテーパを有して形成されており、底壁部75c上を後方に転がり移動してパチンコ機PMの背面側に排出される。そして、図3に示すように、回収通路6上に落下し、回収通路6上を転がって移動して回収される。このため、球の回収作業が簡単で楽な作業となる。すなわち、点検整備において球皿に排出された遊技球を簡単に且つ手間なく回収でき、点検整備作業の効率化を図ることができる。   However, when the ball discharge guide device 70 according to the present invention is attached, the game balls stored in the upper ball tray portion 41 during inspection and maintenance are operated by operating the discharge lever 42 of the upper ball tray device 40 and the lower ball tray portion 51. When the game balls stored in the lower ball tray 51 are discharged from the ball discharge hole 51a by operating the operation lever 53a, the game balls are placed on the rear surface of the curtain plate 71 located at the open position. The sphere discharge guide member 72 is dropped into the bowl-shaped space 72a, rolls backward on the bottom wall 73d, and is discharged into the U-shaped space of the guide wall 75. At this time, the bottom wall portion 75c of the guide wall 75 is formed to have a taper descending rearward, rolls backward on the bottom wall portion 75c, and is discharged to the back side of the pachinko machine PM. Then, as shown in FIG. 3, it falls onto the collection passage 6 and rolls over the collection passage 6 to be collected. For this reason, the collection | recovery operation | work of a ball | bowl becomes easy and easy work. That is, the game balls discharged to the ball tray in the inspection and maintenance can be collected easily and without trouble, and the efficiency of the inspection and maintenance work can be improved.

点検整備を行うときには、上球皿装置40の排出レバー42を開放側に保持し、下球皿装置50の操作レバー53aも開放側に保持しておくのが好ましく、これにより点検整備時に球皿に排出される遊技球は全て背面側に自動的に排出され、球の回収作業が全く不要となる。また、長時間にわたる試し打ちを行って正常な作動の点検、出球率の点検等を行うときには、下球皿装置50の操作レバー53aのみを開放側に保持するのが好ましい。これにより、発射ハンドル45を球発射位置に固定しておけば、点検者がいなくても大当たり等が発生しても下球皿部51内に遊技球が溢れることがなく、連続的な点検が可能となる。   When performing inspection and maintenance, it is preferable to hold the discharge lever 42 of the upper ball tray device 40 on the open side and also hold the operation lever 53a of the lower ball tray device 50 on the open side. All the game balls that are discharged are automatically discharged to the back side, so that the work of collecting the balls is completely unnecessary. Further, when performing a test hit for a long time to check normal operation, check the ball exit rate, etc., it is preferable to hold only the operation lever 53a of the lower ball tray device 50 on the open side. Thus, if the launch handle 45 is fixed at the ball launch position, even if there is no inspector, even if a big hit or the like occurs, the game ball does not overflow into the lower ball tray 51, and continuous inspection is possible. It becomes possible.

このようにして点検整備が完了し、且つ球の回収作業が完了すると、幕板71は後方に押し込まれて閉塞位置に位置し、パチンコ機PMは遊技に供される状態となる。これにより、遊技中には幕板71が前方に突出して邪魔になることもなく、従来と同一の遊技状態とすることができる。なお、遊技に供されるときには、ロックキー77にキーを差し込んでロック板77aを施錠位置に回動させ、球排出ガイド部材71を引き出せなくする。   When the inspection and maintenance are completed in this way and the collection operation of the ball is completed, the curtain plate 71 is pushed backward to be positioned at the closed position, and the pachinko machine PM is put into a state of being used for a game. Thereby, during the game, the curtain board 71 protrudes forward and does not get in the way, and the same gaming state as before can be achieved. When the game is used, the key is inserted into the lock key 77 and the lock plate 77a is rotated to the locking position so that the ball discharge guide member 71 cannot be pulled out.

なお、以上においては上球皿装置40と下球皿装置50とを有したパチンコ機を例にして示したが、一体型の一つの球皿を有したパチンコ機についても本発明を適用できることは無論である。また、ロックキーの形式および配設位置は上述のものに限られるものではない。   In the above description, the pachinko machine having the upper ball tray device 40 and the lower ball tray device 50 is shown as an example. However, the present invention can also be applied to a pachinko machine having a single ball tray. Of course. Further, the type and arrangement position of the lock key are not limited to those described above.
