Abstract

<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a game machine provided with a variable winning device, capable of securely preventing a game ball entering from one side inlet from springing out from the other inlet in such a state that a pair of right and left movable wing pieces are changed to leaning positions to expand themselves outside in a reversed and truncated chevron shape. <P>SOLUTION: Each of members 30 for preventing the ball from springing out, normally hanging down through its weight and rotatable to only a side of the ball inlet 14 by a collision of the ball, is disposed in an upper right-side position and/or an upper left-side position of the inlet 14. A gap S between the bottom of the member 30 and a ball receiving face 26 of the piece 15 changed to the leaning position and facing the bottom of the member 30 is set narrower than a diameter of the ball. Thereby, when the ball entering from the one inlet 27a (or inlet 27b) collides with the member 30 of the other inlet 27b (or inlet 27a) from inside, the ball rebounds off and its pass is blocked. Thereby the ball never springs out from a gap S between the bottom of the member 30 and the face 26 of the piece 15. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2008,JPO&INPIT

Description

本発明は、入球孔の左右両側で、基部が支軸によって回動可能に軸支された左右一対の可動翼片が、起立位置と、逆ハ字形に外側方に拡開する傾動位置とに変換制御される可変入賞装置を備えた遊技機に関する。 In the present invention, a pair of left and right movable wing pieces whose base portions are pivotally supported by pivots on both the left and right sides of the entrance hole are in a standing position and a tilting position where the inverted H-shape expands outward. The present invention relates to a gaming machine provided with a variable winning device that is controlled to be converted into a game.

遊技機の遊技盤面に配設される可変入賞装置ａにあって、図９に示すように、入球孔ｂの左右両側で、基部が支軸ｃ，ｃによって回動可能に軸支された左右一対の可動翼片ｄ，ｄを、上方に立ち上がる起立位置と、逆ハ字形に外側方に拡開する傾動位置とに変換制御するように構成したものが知られている。 In the variable winning device a disposed on the game board surface of the gaming machine, as shown in FIG. 9, the base portions are pivotally supported by the support shafts c and c on both the left and right sides of the ball entry hole b. A configuration is known in which a pair of left and right movable blades d, d are controlled to be converted into a standing position that rises upward and a tilt position that spreads outward in an inverted C shape.

かかる可変入賞装置ａにあっては、図９に示すように、可動翼片ｄ，ｄが逆ハ字形に外側方に拡開する傾動位置に変換された状態において、一方の入口ｅから遊技球が勢いよく入った場合に、その遊技球が中央の入球孔ｂに流入することなく、他方の入口ｆから飛び出してしまうという問題点があった。 In such a variable winning device a, as shown in FIG. 9, in a state where the movable wing pieces d and d are converted into a tilting position that spreads outward in an inverted C shape, a game ball is passed from one entrance e. When the player enters the game ball vigorously, the game ball jumps out of the other entrance f without flowing into the central entrance hole b.

上記のような問題点を解消することを目的として、可動翼片の略前面を覆う意匠板の裏面中央に断面三角形状の突条（若しくは突起部）を上下方向に固定的に設ける一方、遊技球が通過するゲートを上部に備え、かつ可動翼片と意匠板とが前面側に配設される取付板の前面に、前記ゲートの左右側部から夫々下方に延びる断面三角形状の突条を固定的に設け、可動翼片の傾動中に左右何れか一方の入口から入った遊技球が、前記意匠板の突条または取付板の突条に当接することにより、他方の入口から飛び出さないように構成したものが提案されている（特許文献１参照）。ここで、前記意匠板の突条の頂点と、取付板の突条の頂点との間隔は、遊技球の直径寸法より大きく設定されている。
特開２００５−３３４２０７号公報（図３，段落番号[００１５]） In order to solve the problems as described above, a protrusion (or protrusion) having a triangular cross section is fixedly provided in the vertical direction at the center of the back surface of the design plate that covers the substantially front surface of the movable wing piece. On the front surface of the mounting plate provided with a gate through which the sphere passes and the movable wing piece and the design plate are arranged on the front surface side, a protrusion having a triangular cross section extending downward from the left and right side portions of the gate respectively. A fixedly provided game ball that enters from one of the left and right inlets while the movable wing piece is tilting does not jump out of the other inlet by abutting against the protrusions of the design plate or the protrusions of the mounting plate. The thing comprised in this way is proposed (refer patent document 1). Here, the interval between the apex of the ridge of the design plate and the apex of the ridge of the mounting plate is set larger than the diameter dimension of the game ball.
Japanese Patent Laying-Open No. 2005-334207 (FIG. 3, paragraph number [0015])

ところで、上記特許文献１に記載されている先行技術にあっては、意匠板の突条の頂点と、取付板の突条の頂点との間隔が、遊技球の直径寸法より大きく設定されているので、可動翼片の傾動中に左右何れか一方の入口から入った遊技球が、何れの突条にも当接しないで、他方の入口から飛び出してしまう場合もある。このため、遊技球の飛び出しを確実に防止し得るものではなかった。 By the way, in the prior art described in the above-mentioned Patent Document 1, the distance between the apex of the ridge of the design plate and the apex of the ridge of the mounting plate is set larger than the diameter dimension of the game ball. Therefore, there is a case in which the game ball that has entered from one of the left and right inlets jumps out of the other inlet without contacting any of the protrusions while the movable wing piece is tilted. For this reason, it has not been possible to reliably prevent the game ball from jumping out.

また、各突条が上下方向に延在する断面三角形状であるため、可動翼片の傾動中に左右何れか一方の入口から入った遊技球が、何れかの突条に当接した場合にあっても、上下方向に延在する断面三角形状の突条の斜面によって遊技球が、斜め前方または斜め後方に方向転換され、遊技球の勢いが強いと、その方向転換を繰り返しながら他方の入口から飛び出す可能性もあった。 In addition, since each protrusion has a triangular shape extending in the vertical direction, when a game ball entering from one of the left and right inlets abuts any one of the protrusions while the movable wing piece is tilted. Even if it is, the game ball is turned diagonally forward or diagonally backward by the slope of the triangular protrusion extending in the vertical direction, and when the momentum of the game ball is strong, the other entrance is repeated while changing the direction. There was also a possibility of jumping out from.

本発明は、かかる問題点を解消し、遊技球の飛び出しを確実に防止し得る可変入賞装置を備えた遊技機を提供することを目的とするものである。 An object of the present invention is to provide a gaming machine equipped with a variable winning device that can eliminate such problems and reliably prevent the game ball from jumping out.

本発明は、入球孔の左右両側で、基部が支軸によって回動可能に軸支された左右一対の可動翼片が、起立位置と、逆ハ字形に外側方に拡開する傾動位置とに変換制御され、その傾動位置で各可動翼片の球受け面によって、前記入球孔に遊技球を案内する可変入賞装置を備えた遊技機において、前記入球孔の上部右側方位置及び／又は上部左側方位置に、常時は自重により垂下し、かつ遊技球の衝突により前記入球孔側にのみ回動可能な球飛び出し防止部材を備え、該球飛び出し防止部材の下端部と、傾動位置に変換されて前記球飛び出し防止部材に下方で対向する可動翼片の球受け面との間隔が、遊技球の直径寸法より狭くなるように設定されていることを特徴とする遊技機である。 In the present invention, a pair of left and right movable wing pieces whose base portions are pivotally supported by pivots on both the left and right sides of the entrance hole are in a standing position and a tilting position where the inverted H-shape expands outward. In the gaming machine provided with a variable winning device that guides the game ball to the entrance hole by the ball receiving surface of each movable wing piece at the tilt position, the upper right side position of the entrance hole and / or Alternatively, the upper left side position is provided with a ball pop-out preventing member that is normally suspended by its own weight and can be rotated only to the entrance hole side by the collision of the game ball. The gaming machine is characterized in that the distance from the ball receiving surface of the movable wing piece that is converted into the ball and faces the ball pop-out preventing member below is set to be narrower than the diameter size of the game ball.

ここで、前記球飛び出し防止部材を入球孔側にのみ回動可能とするには、該球飛び出し防止部材に当接して、その垂下状態から外方向（入球孔側と反対の方向）への回動を規制する当接壁面若しくは突起等からなる適宜の回動規制手段を適用することによって容易になし得るものであり、その回動規制手段は特に限定されない。 Here, in order to make the ball pop-out preventing member rotatable only to the ball entering hole side, the ball pop-out preventing member is brought into contact with the ball pop-out preventing member from the suspended state to the outward direction (the direction opposite to the ball entering hole side). The rotation restricting means is not particularly limited, and can be easily achieved by applying an appropriate rotation restricting means composed of an abutting wall surface or a protrusion for restricting the rotation.

また、球飛び出し防止部材を、入球孔の上部右側方位置または上部左側方位置の何れか一方に配設する構成は、遊技領域の右側または左側の何れか一方を遊技球が流下し易くなるように構成された遊技機に適用され得る。 In addition, the configuration in which the ball pop-out preventing member is disposed at either the upper right side position or the upper left side position of the entrance hole makes it easier for the game ball to flow down either the right side or the left side of the game area. The present invention can be applied to a gaming machine configured as described above.

かかる構成の遊技機にあって、前記球飛び出し防止部材が、上部を支軸で支持して垂下され、かつ前後方向に延在する薄肉状の垂下板片である構成が提案される。 In the gaming machine having such a configuration, a configuration is proposed in which the ball pop-out prevention member is a thin hanging plate piece that is suspended with its upper portion supported by a support shaft and extending in the front-rear direction.

また、前記球飛び出し防止部材が、上部を支軸で支持して垂下され、かつ前後方向に延在する一側面が前記入球孔に向かって傾倒する案内斜面となっている垂下片である構成が提案される。ここで、該垂下片の案内斜面は、入球孔に向けて遊技球を跳ね返す案内作用を生じる傾斜面として形成され得る。 Further, the ball jumping-out preventing member is a hanging piece that is suspended with the upper part supported by a support shaft, and one side surface extending in the front-rear direction is a guide slope inclined toward the entrance hole. Is proposed. Here, the guide slope of the drooping piece may be formed as an inclined surface that causes a guide action to rebound the game ball toward the entrance hole.

本発明は、上述したように、入球孔の上部右側方位置及び／又は上部左側方位置に、常時は自重により垂下し、かつ遊技球の衝突により前記入球孔側にのみ回動可能な球飛び出し防止部材を備え、該球飛び出し防止部材の下端部と、傾動位置に変換されて前記球飛び出し防止部材に下方で対向する可動翼片の球受け面との間隔が、遊技球の直径寸法より狭くなるように設定されているので、入球孔の上部右側方位置及び上部左側方位置に球飛び出し防止部材を夫々配設した場合にあっては、左右の可動翼片の傾動位置への変換によって開放される左右何れか一方の入口から遊技球が流入する場合に、当該入口を開放する可動翼片上に位置する一方の球飛び出し防止部材が遊技球の衝突により入球孔側に回動することにより、その遊技球を容易に流入させることができる。そして、流入した該遊技球の勢いが強く、他方の球飛び出し防止部材に内方から衝突すると、該球飛び出し防止部材が外方向には回動しないため、遊技球が跳ね返されて通過が阻止される。また、球飛び出し防止部材の下端部と、該下端部の下方で該下端部に対向する可動翼片の球受け面との間隔が、遊技球の直径寸法より狭くなるように設定されているため、球飛び出し防止部材の下端部と、傾動位置に変換された可動翼片の球受け面との間から遊技球が外に飛び出すことがない。これにより、遊技球の飛び出しを確実に防止することができる。 As described above, the present invention hangs down to the upper right side position and / or the upper left side position of the entrance hole due to its own weight at all times and can only turn to the entrance hole side by the collision of the game ball. A ball pop-out preventing member is provided, and the distance between the lower end of the ball pop-out preventing member and the ball receiving surface of the movable wing piece that is converted into a tilted position and faces the ball pop-out preventing member below is the diameter dimension of the game ball Since it is set so as to be narrower, when the ball pop-out prevention members are respectively disposed at the upper right side position and the upper left side position of the entrance hole, the left and right movable blade pieces are moved to the tilt position. When a game ball flows in from one of the left and right inlets opened by the conversion, one ball jumping prevention member located on the movable wing piece that opens the inlet rotates to the entrance hole side by the collision of the game balls By making the game ball easier It can be made to flow. Then, the momentum of the game ball that has flowed in is strong, and when it collides with the other ball pop-out prevention member from the inside, the ball pop-out prevention member does not rotate outward, so the game ball is bounced back and blocked from passing. The In addition, the distance between the lower end of the ball pop-out preventing member and the ball receiving surface of the movable wing piece facing the lower end below the lower end is set to be smaller than the diameter of the game ball. The game ball does not jump out from between the lower end portion of the ball pop-out preventing member and the ball receiving surface of the movable wing piece converted into the tilting position. Thereby, it is possible to reliably prevent the game ball from jumping out.

また、入球孔の上部右側方位置または上部左側方位置の何れか一方に球飛び出し防止部材を配設した場合にあっては、左右の可動翼片が傾動位置に変換された状態において、球飛び出し防止部材が配設されていない側の入口から流入した遊技球が他方の入口に配設されている球飛び出し防止部材に内方から衝突すると、該球飛び出し防止部材が外方向には回動しないため、遊技球が跳ね返されて通過が阻止される。また、球飛び出し防止部材の下端部と、該下端部の下方で該下端部に対向する可動翼片の球受け面との間隔が、遊技球の直径寸法より狭くなるように設定されているため、球飛び出し防止部材の下端部と、傾動位置に変換された可動翼片の球受け面との間から遊技球が外に飛び出すことがない。これにより、遊技球の飛び出しを確実に防止することができる。 In addition, in the case where the ball pop-out prevention member is disposed at either the upper right side position or the upper left side position of the entrance hole, the left and right movable wing pieces are converted to the tilted position, When a game ball that has flowed in from the entrance on the side where the pop-out preventing member is not provided collides with the ball pop-out preventing member provided at the other entrance from the inside, the ball pop-out preventing member rotates outward. Therefore, the game ball is bounced back and blocked from passing. In addition, the distance between the lower end of the ball pop-out preventing member and the ball receiving surface of the movable wing piece facing the lower end below the lower end is set to be smaller than the diameter of the game ball. The game ball does not jump out from between the lower end portion of the ball pop-out preventing member and the ball receiving surface of the movable wing piece converted into the tilting position. Thereby, it is possible to reliably prevent the game ball from jumping out.

また、前記球飛び出し防止部材が、上部を支軸で支持して垂下され、かつ前後方向に延在する薄肉状の垂下板片である構成にあっては、該垂下板片の左右の垂直面に遊技球が衝突することにより、外方からの衝突時における球飛び出し防止部材の回動作用と、内方からの衝突時における遊技球の跳ね返し作用を良好に行わせることができる。 Further, in the configuration in which the ball pop-out preventing member is a thin-walled hanging plate piece that is suspended with the upper portion supported by a support shaft and extends in the front-rear direction, the left and right vertical surfaces of the hanging plate piece When the game balls collide with each other, the turning action of the ball pop-out preventing member at the time of the collision from the outside and the rebound action of the game balls at the time of the collision from the inside can be favorably performed.

一方、前記球飛び出し防止部材が、上部を支軸で支持して垂下され、かつ前後方向に延在する一側面が前記入球孔に向かって傾倒する案内斜面となっている垂下片である構成にあっては、該案内斜面に遊技球が衝突することにより、該遊技球が入球孔に向けて跳ね返される案内作用が得られ、これによって遊技球を入球孔に迅速に流入させることができる。 On the other hand, the ball pop-out preventing member is a hanging piece that is suspended with its upper part supported by a support shaft and one side surface extending in the front-rear direction is a guide slope that tilts toward the entrance hole. In this case, when the game ball collides with the guide slope, a guide action is obtained in which the game ball is bounced back toward the entrance hole, thereby allowing the game ball to quickly flow into the entrance hole. it can.

The game balls can be guided to the first entrance hole 14.

また、図２，図３に示すように、ベース板２３の背面側には流路部材２８が配設されている。該流路部材２８は、第二入球孔１６に流入した遊技球を後方に導く球流路２９と、第一入球孔１４に流入した遊技球を後方に導く球流路（図示省略）とを備えている。 In addition, as shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, a flow path member 28 is disposed on the back side of the base plate 23. The flow path member 28 includes a ball flow path 29 that guides the game ball that has flowed into the second ball entry hole 16 to the rear, and a ball flow path (not shown) that guides the game ball that has flowed into the first ball entry hole 14 to the rear. And.

第一入球孔１４の上部の左右側方位置には球飛び出し防止部材３０，３０が夫々配設されている。該球飛び出し防止部材３０，３０は、図３に示すように、夫々前後方向に延在する薄肉状の垂下板片３１と、該垂下板片３１の上部を支持する支軸３２とからなり、該支軸３２の前端部に一体形成された垂下板片３１が支軸３２から垂下されている。各球飛び出し防止部材３０，３０は、その支軸３２，３２が流路部材２８（図３参照）に形成された前後方向の軸受け孔３３，３３に回動可能に挿通されており、流路部材２８の後壁から突出する後端部に嵌着されるＯリング３４，３４によって前方への抜け出しが防止されている。これにより、球飛び出し防止部材３０，３０は、図２に示すように、その配設位置で、常時は垂下板片３１，３１の自重により垂下状態に保持されている。また、ベース板２３には、両垂下板片３１，３１の垂下状態でその後部外側面が夫々当接する当接壁面３５，３５を左右両側に備えた横長矩形状の作動凹部３６（図３参照）が開口されており、該作動凹部３６の当接壁面３５，３５によって球飛び出し防止部材３０，３０の垂下状態から外側方向（第一入球孔１４側と反対側の方向）への回動を規制する回動規制手段が構成されている。そして、この回動規制手段によって、垂下状態にある左側の球飛び出し防止部材３０は、支軸３２を中心とする時計回り方向の回動が規制される一方、垂下状態にある右側の球飛び出し防止部材３０は、支軸３２を中心とする反時計回り方向の回動が規制されている。これにより、球飛び出し防止部材３０，３０は、遊技球の衝突時に第一入球孔１４側にのみ、即ち内側方向にのみ回動するようになっている。 Ball jump-out preventing members 30 and 30 are respectively disposed at the left and right side positions of the upper portion of the first entrance hole 14. As shown in FIG. 3, the ball pop-out preventing members 30 and 30 include a thin-walled hanging plate piece 31 that extends in the front-rear direction and a support shaft 32 that supports the upper portion of the hanging plate piece 31, respectively. A hanging plate piece 31 formed integrally with the front end portion of the support shaft 32 is suspended from the support shaft 32. Each of the ball pop-out prevention members 30 and 30 is rotatably inserted into the front and rear bearing holes 33 and 33 formed on the flow path member 28 (see FIG. 3). The O-rings 34, 34 fitted to the rear end portions protruding from the rear wall of the member 28 are prevented from coming out forward. Thereby, as shown in FIG. 2, the ball pop-out preventing members 30, 30 are normally held in a suspended state by their own weights of the hanging plate pieces 31, 31 at the arrangement positions. Further, the base plate 23 has a horizontally-long rectangular operating recess 36 (see FIG. 3) provided with contact wall surfaces 35, 35 on the left and right sides, respectively, with which the outer surfaces of the rear portions abut in the suspended state of both hanging plate pieces 31, 31. ) Are opened, and the contact wall surfaces 35, 35 of the operating recess 36 rotate the ball pop-out prevention members 30, 30 from the suspended state to the outside direction (the direction opposite to the first entrance hole 14 side). A rotation restricting means for restricting the rotation is configured. Then, by this rotation restricting means, the left-side ball pop-out preventing member 30 in the suspended state is restricted from rotating in the clockwise direction around the support shaft 32, while the right-side ball pop-out preventing member 30 in the suspended state is prevented. The member 30 is restricted from turning counterclockwise about the support shaft 32. Thereby, the ball pop-out preventing members 30 and 30 are configured to rotate only toward the first entrance hole 14, that is, inward only when the game ball collides.

また、球飛び出し防止部材３０，３０の下端部、即ち垂下板片３１，３１の下端部と、傾動位置に変換されて球飛び出し防止部材３０，３０に対して該球飛び出し防止部材３０，３０の下方で対向する可動翼片１５，１５の球受け面２６，２６との間隔Ｓが、図４（Ｂ）に示すように、遊技球の直径寸法より狭くなるように設定されている。 Also, the lower end portion of the ball pop-out preventing member 30, 30, that is, the lower end portion of the hanging plate pieces 31, 31, is converted into a tilted position, and the ball pop-out preventing member 30, 30 is moved to the ball pop-out preventing member 30, 30. As shown in FIG. 4B, the distance S between the lower and opposite movable wing pieces 15 and 15 and the ball receiving surfaces 26 and 26 is set to be narrower than the diameter of the game ball.

かかる構成にあって、図４（Ａ）に示すように、左右の可動翼片１５，１５の傾動位置への変換によって開放される左右何れか一方の入口２７ａ，２７ｂ（図４（Ａ）に図示した例では左側の入口２７ａ）から遊技球が流入する場合に、当該入口２７ａを開放する可動翼片１５上に位置する一方の球飛び出し防止部材３０の垂下板片３１が遊技球の衝突により第一入球孔１４側に回動することにより、その遊技球を容易に流入させることができる。そして、流入した該遊技球の勢いが強く、図４（Ｂ）に示すように、他方の球飛び出し防止部材３０の垂下板片３１に内方から衝突すると、該球飛び出し防止部材３０が外方向には回動しないため、遊技球が跳ね返されて通過が阻止される。また、球飛び出し防止部材３０の下端部と、該下端部に下方で対向する可動翼片１５の球受け面２６との間隔Ｓが、遊技球の直径寸法より狭くなるように設定されているため、球飛び出し防止部材３０の下端部と、傾動位置に変換された可動翼片１５の球受け面２６との間から遊技球が外に飛び出すことがない。これにより、遊技球の飛び出しを確実に防止することができる。 In such a configuration, as shown in FIG. 4A, the left and right inlets 27a and 27b opened by the conversion of the left and right movable wing pieces 15 and 15 into the tilting position (see FIG. 4A). In the illustrated example, when a game ball flows in from the left inlet 27a), the hanging plate piece 31 of one of the ball jumping prevention members 30 positioned on the movable wing piece 15 that opens the inlet 27a is caused by the collision of the game ball. By turning to the first ball entry hole 14 side, the game ball can be easily introduced. Then, the momentum of the game ball that has flowed in is strong and, as shown in FIG. 4 (B), when the ball collides with the hanging plate piece 31 of the other ball pop-out preventing member 30 from the inside, the ball pop-out preventing member 30 moves outward. Since it does not rotate, the game ball is bounced back and blocked from passing. Further, the distance S between the lower end portion of the ball pop-out preventing member 30 and the ball receiving surface 26 of the movable wing piece 15 facing the lower end portion below is set to be narrower than the diameter size of the game ball. The game ball does not jump out from between the lower end portion of the ball jump-out preventing member 30 and the ball receiving surface 26 of the movable wing piece 15 converted into the tilted position. Thereby, it is possible to reliably prevent the game ball from jumping out.

また、前記球飛び出し防止部材３０が、上部を支軸３２で支持して垂下され、かつ前後方向に延在する薄肉状の垂下板片３１であるので、該垂下板片３１の左右の垂直面に遊技球が衝突することにより、外方からの衝突時における球飛び出し防止部材３０の回動作用と、内方からの衝突時における遊技球の跳ね返し作用を良好に行わせることができる。 Further, since the ball pop-out preventing member 30 is a thin hanging plate piece 31 that is suspended with its upper portion supported by a support shaft 32 and extends in the front-rear direction, the left and right vertical surfaces of the hanging plate piece 31 When the game balls collide with each other, the turning action of the ball jump-out preventing member 30 at the time of the collision from the outside and the rebound action of the game balls at the time of the collision from the inside can be favorably performed.

図５は、第一実施例の変形実施例を示し、この変形実施例は、球飛び出し防止部材３０を第一入球孔１４の上部の右側方位置にのみ配設したものである。上述したように、遊技領域４の上部に打ち出された殆どの遊技球がセンターケース５の左側領域を通って流下するように構成された遊技盤１（図１参照）にあっては、可変入賞装置１３の左側の入口２７ａから遊技球が流入する場合が多いため、右側の入口２７ｂから遊技球が飛び出す頻度が高くなる。従って、左側の入口２７ａからの遊技球の飛び出し防止を余り考慮する必要がなく、右側の入口２７ｂからの飛び出しのみを防止する場合には、かかる構成が有効となる。 FIG. 5 shows a modified embodiment of the first embodiment. In this modified embodiment, the ball pop-out preventing member 30 is disposed only at the right side position above the first entrance hole 14. As described above, in the game board 1 (see FIG. 1) configured such that most of the game balls launched at the upper part of the game area 4 flow down through the left side area of the center case 5, a variable prize is awarded. Since game balls often flow from the left inlet 27a of the device 13, the frequency of game balls popping out from the right inlet 27b increases. Therefore, it is not necessary to consider the prevention of the game ball jumping out from the left inlet 27a, and this configuration is effective in the case of preventing the jumping out from the right inlet 27b only.

尚、遊技領域４の上部に打ち出された遊技球がセンターケース５の右側領域を通って流下するように構成された遊技盤にあっては、上記とは逆に、球飛び出し防止部材３０を第一入球孔１４の上部の左側方位置にのみ配設することにより、左側の入口２７ａからの飛び出しのみを防止することが可能となる。 In the game board configured such that the game ball launched at the upper part of the game area 4 flows down through the right area of the center case 5, contrary to the above, the ball pop-out preventing member 30 is provided with the first By disposing only at the left side of the upper part of the single ball hole 14, it is possible to prevent only the protrusion from the left inlet 27 a.

図６〜図８は、第二実施例を示す。この第二実施例は、図６に示すように、第一入球孔１４の上部の左右側方位置に夫々配設される両球飛び出し防止部材３０，３０が、図７に示すように、夫々断面逆正三角形状を呈する垂下片３７と、該垂下片３７の上部を支持する支軸３２とからなり、垂下片３７の後面でその中央上部に偏倚した位置を支軸３２の前端で支持することにより、垂下片３７が支軸３２から垂下されている。 6 to 8 show a second embodiment. In the second embodiment, as shown in FIG. 6, both ball jump-out preventing members 30, 30 respectively disposed at the left and right side positions of the upper portion of the first entrance hole 14 are as shown in FIG. Each includes a hanging piece 37 having an inverted equilateral triangular cross section and a support shaft 32 that supports the upper portion of the hanging piece 37, and a position biased to the center upper portion on the rear surface of the hanging piece 37 is supported by the front end of the support shaft 32. As a result, the hanging piece 37 is suspended from the support shaft 32.

また、垂下片３７には、支軸３２の左右両側に対応する位置に前後方向の肉抜き孔３８，３８が形成されており、これによって上部を軽量にして重心を下げ、自重による垂下状態を維持するようにしている。ここで、垂下片３７の前後方向に延在する一側面は、図８に示すように、第一入球孔１４に向かって傾倒する案内斜面３９となっており、該案内斜面３９は、衝突した遊技球を第一入球孔１４に向けて跳ね返す案内作用を生じる傾斜面として形成されている。 In addition, the drooping piece 37 is formed with front and rear thinning holes 38 and 38 at positions corresponding to both the left and right sides of the support shaft 32, thereby reducing the center of gravity and reducing the center of gravity. I try to keep it. Here, one side surface extending in the front-rear direction of the hanging piece 37 is a guide slope 39 that tilts toward the first entrance hole 14 as shown in FIG. The game ball is formed as an inclined surface that causes a guiding action to rebound the game ball toward the first entrance hole 14.

また、図７に示すように、支軸３２の後端近傍部には側方に突出する突起４０が形成される一方、各支軸３２，３２が挿通される流路部材２８の軸受け孔３３，３３（図３参照）には、図８に示すように、前記突起４０を嵌合してその回動範囲を規定する円弧状溝４１が形成されている。ここで、突起４０は、垂下片３７の垂下状態で円弧状溝４１の一端に当接して、該垂下片３７の外側方向への回動を規制する一方、円弧状溝４１の他端側へは回動可能に設けられている。そして、該突起４０と円弧状溝４１とによって球飛び出し防止部材３０，３０の垂下状態から外側方向（第一入球孔１４側と反対側の方向）への回動を規制する回動規制手段が構成されている。そして、この回動規制手段によって、垂下状態にある左側の球飛び出し防止部材３０は、支軸３２を中心とする時計回り方向の回動が規制される一方、垂下状態にある右側の球飛び出し防止部材３０は、支軸３２を中心とする反時計回り方向の回動が規制されている。これにより、球飛び出し防止部材３０，３０は、遊技球の衝突時に第一入球孔１４側にのみ、即ち内側方向にのみ回動し得るようになっている。 Further, as shown in FIG. 7, a protrusion 40 projecting sideways is formed in the vicinity of the rear end of the support shaft 32, while the bearing hole 33 of the flow path member 28 through which each support shaft 32, 32 is inserted. , 33 (see FIG. 3), as shown in FIG. 8, an arcuate groove 41 is formed which fits the projection 40 and defines the rotation range thereof. Here, the protrusion 40 abuts on one end of the arc-shaped groove 41 in the suspended state of the hanging piece 37 and restricts the rotation of the hanging piece 37 in the outer direction, while moving to the other end side of the arc-shaped groove 41. Is rotatably provided. And the rotation restricting means for restricting the rotation of the ball jumping-out preventing members 30 and 30 from the suspended state to the outer side (the direction opposite to the first entrance hole 14 side) by the protrusion 40 and the arc-shaped groove 41. Is configured. Then, by this rotation restricting means, the left-side ball pop-out preventing member 30 in the suspended state is restricted from rotating in the clockwise direction around the support shaft 32, while the right-side ball pop-out preventing member 30 in the suspended state is prevented. The member 30 is restricted from turning counterclockwise about the support shaft 32. Thereby, the ball pop-out preventing members 30 and 30 can be rotated only toward the first entrance hole 14 side, that is, only in the inner direction when the game ball collides.

また、この第二実施例にあっても、図６（Ｂ）に示すように、球飛び出し防止部材３０，３０の下端部、即ち垂下片３７，３７の下端部と、傾動位置に変換されて球飛び出し防止部材３０，３０に対して該球飛び出し防止部材３０，３０の下方で対向する可動翼片１５，１５の球受け面２６，２６との間隔Ｓが、遊技球の直径寸法より狭くなるように設定されている。 Also in this second embodiment, as shown in FIG. 6 (B), it is converted into the lower end portion of the ball pop-out preventing members 30, 30, that is, the lower end portion of the hanging pieces 37, 37, and the tilt position. The distance S between the ball receiving surfaces 26 and 26 of the movable wing pieces 15 and 15 facing the ball pop-out preventing members 30 and 30 below the ball pop-out preventing members 30 and 30 is smaller than the diameter size of the game ball. Is set to

かかる構成にあって、左右の可動翼片１５，１５の傾動位置への変換によって開放される左右何れか一方の入口２７ａまたは入口２７ｂから遊技球が流入する場合に、図６（Ａ）に示すように、当該入口２７ａまたは入口２７ｂを開放する可動翼片１５上に位置する一方の球飛び出し防止部材３０の垂下片３７が遊技球の衝突により第一入球孔１４側に回動することにより、その遊技球を容易に流入させることができる。そして、流入した該遊技球の勢いが強く、図６（Ｂ）に示すように、他方の球飛び出し防止部材３０の垂下片３７に内方から衝突すると、該球飛び出し防止部材３０が外方向には回動しないため、遊技球が跳ね返されて通過が阻止される。また、球飛び出し防止部材３０の下端部と、該下端部に下方で対向する可動翼片１５の球受け面２６との間隔Ｓが、遊技球の直径寸法より狭くなるように設定されているため、球飛び出し防止部材３０の下端部と、傾動位置に変換された可動翼片１５の球受け面２６との間から遊技球が外に飛び出すことがない。これにより、遊技球の飛び出しを確実に防止することができる。 In such a configuration, when a game ball flows in from either the left or right inlet 27a or the inlet 27b that is opened by the conversion of the left and right movable wing pieces 15 to the tilting position, it is shown in FIG. As described above, the drooping piece 37 of one of the ball jumping prevention members 30 positioned on the movable wing piece 15 that opens the inlet 27a or the inlet 27b is rotated toward the first entrance hole 14 by the collision of the game ball. The game ball can easily flow in. Then, the momentum of the game ball that has flowed in is strong, and as shown in FIG. 6 (B), when the ball collides with the hanging piece 37 of the other ball pop-out preventing member 30 from the inside, the ball pop-out preventing member 30 moves outward. Does not rotate, the game ball is bounced back and blocked from passing. Further, the distance S between the lower end portion of the ball pop-out preventing member 30 and the ball receiving surface 26 of the movable wing piece 15 facing the lower end portion below is set to be narrower than the diameter size of the game ball. The game ball does not jump out from between the lower end portion of the ball jump-out preventing member 30 and the ball receiving surface 26 of the movable wing piece 15 converted into the tilted position. Thereby, it is possible to reliably prevent the game ball from jumping out.

また、前記球飛び出し防止部材３０が、上部を支軸３２で支持して垂下され、かつ前後方向に延在する一側面が前記第一入球孔１４に向かって傾倒する案内斜面３９となっている垂下片３７であるので、該案内斜面３９に遊技球が衝突することにより、図８に示すように、該遊技球が第一入球孔１４に向けて跳ね返される案内作用が得られ、これによって遊技球を第一入球孔１４に迅速に流入させることができる。 Further, the ball pop-out preventing member 30 is suspended with the upper portion supported by the support shaft 32, and one side surface extending in the front-rear direction is a guide slope 39 that tilts toward the first entrance hole 14. As shown in FIG. 8, when the game ball collides with the guide slope 39, the guide ball is rebounded toward the first entrance hole 14 as shown in FIG. As a result, the game ball can be quickly flowed into the first entrance hole 14.

尚、この第二実施例にあっても、上述した第一実施例の変形実施例と同様に、球飛び出し防止部材３０を、第一入球孔１４の上部の右側方位置または左側方位置の何れか一方に配設することも可能である。 Even in the second embodiment, similarly to the modified embodiment of the first embodiment described above, the ball pop-out preventing member 30 is placed at the right side position or the left side position of the upper part of the first ball hole 14. It is also possible to arrange either one.
