【0001】
【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明はパチンコゲーム機の遊技盤の裏面に設けられている入賞球誘導樋に関し、詳しくは、役物の交換時に役物の配線を容易に取り出しできる入賞球誘導樋に関する。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
従来のパチンコゲーム機では、図4に示すように、遊技盤101の表面に、電飾風車102,103、液晶表示板104、始動入賞口105,通過ゲート106,107、入賞口108,109,110,111、大入賞口112、アウト球取入口113及び多数の釘114が設けられている。図5に示すように、入賞口108,109に取付けられている役物115には配線117が接続され、当該配線117の先端には雄コネクター119が接続されており、また、入賞口110,111に取付けられている役物116にも配線118が接続され、当該配線118の先端には雄コネクター120が接続されている。
【0003】
上記の役物115及び116は、図6に示す遊技盤101の正面図及び図7に示す遊技盤101の裏面図のように、遊技盤101上に設けられたルーター穴121,122,123,124に遊技盤101の表面から各々固定ねじにより取り付けらている。ここで、各役物115,116の配線117,118はルーター穴121,122,123,124から遊技盤101の裏面において各々左又は右方向に取り出されている。この状態で、図8に示す入賞球誘導樋125を図10に示すように、遊技盤101に取り付けている。
【0004】
入賞球誘導樋125の構造について図8及び図9を参照して説明する。図8は入賞球誘導樋125の正面図、図9は図8に示す入賞球誘導樋125の右側面図である。入賞球誘導樋125は、前記各入賞口105,108乃至111から入賞したパチンコ球(入賞球)を遊技盤101の裏面において誘導案内するために設けられている誘導カバーであり、透明のABS樹脂から構成されており、一定の弾性を有している。図8に示すように、入賞球誘導樋125の中央部には、液晶表示板104を避けるための中央開口126が設けられ、入賞球誘導樋125の外周部には、遊技盤101の裏面に平行に当接する当接板127,128,129,130,131,132,133,134,135,136,137,138が形成されている。また、当接板128,130,135,137には、位置合せ突起139,140,141,142が遊技盤101方向に突設されている。
【0005】
さらに、入賞球誘導樋125には前記各当接板127乃至138と平行に設けられた裏板143,144,145,158が設けられ、前記各当接板127乃至138と各裏板143乃至145,158との間には、入賞球の誘導路の側壁を形成する誘導側壁146,147,148,149,150,151,152,153が設けられている。この誘導側壁146乃至153の内部の高さは、入賞球をスムーズに流下させるためにパチンコ球の直径よりやや大きく形成されている。
【0006】
さらに、図8及び図9に示すように、誘導側壁146には側面配線取出口154が開口され、誘導側壁147には側面配線取出口155が開口されている。また、図8に示すように、誘導側壁150には側面配線取出口156が開口され、誘導側壁151には側面配線取出口157が開口されている。これらの配線取出口154乃至157は、入賞球誘導樋125を樹脂成形するときに金型により一体として開口形成されている。
【0007】
上記の側面配線取出口154乃至157を利用して、図10に示すように、役物115及び116の配線117,118が各々引き出される。その後、入賞球誘導樋125は前記当接板127乃至138にタッカー(ステープル)を打ち込むことによって遊技盤101に組み付けられ、他の機構を組み込むことによって、パチンコゲーム機が完成する。このパチンコゲーム機がパチンコホールに設置され使用される。ここで、役物115,116等が故障した場合には、当該故障した役物が交換されることになる。
【0008】
次に、故障した役物115,116の交換の手順について説明する。例えば、図10に示すルーター穴123に固定された役物115が故障した場合には、先ず、遊技盤101の表面から、役物115の固定ねじを外して、役物115を遊技盤101から外す。このとき、役物115の配線117の先端のコネクタ119は、図示外の中継基盤の雌コネクタに接続されているので、当該コネクタ119を図示外の中継基盤の雌コネクタから外す。そして、新しい役物115を遊技盤101の表面からルーター穴123にはめ込むのであるが、新しい役物115を遊技盤101のルーター穴123にはめ込む前に、配線117をルーター穴123から入賞球誘導樋125の側面配線取出口156を通過させておく。そして、新しい役物115を遊技盤101にねじ止めし、配線117の先端の雄コネクター119を図示外の中継基盤上の雌コネクターに差し込む。以上の作業により、故障した役物115を新しい役物115に交換する作業が終了する。
【0009】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
しかしながら、上記のような入賞球誘導樋では、役物の配線取出口を誘導側壁に側面配線取出口として設けており、さらに、入賞球誘導樋は遊技盤の裏面にタッカー(ステープル)で固定されているために、取り外すことができなかった。従って、役物の交換時においては、遊技盤の厚みや釘等が障害になって、新しい役物の配線を入賞球誘導樋の側面配線取出口から取り出しにくいという問題があった。このために、役物交換の作業に手間取るという問題もあった。
【0010】
ここで、役物の配線を容易に取り出し得るようにした発明としては、特開平5−309170号公報に開示の発明が知られているが、この発明は、遊技盤の裏面に設けられた内パック板(上記の入賞球誘導樋に該当)と当該内パック板に対向して設けられた機構板(その前面側に入賞球集合空間凹部が形成され、その後面に商品球排出関連機構が形成されているもの)との対向面の間隔をパチンコ球の直径よりも小さく且つ前記役物の配線を通し得る寸法に形成しているのみで、上記の問題点を何等解決するものではなかった。
【0011】
そこで、本発明では、上記の問題点を解決するために、役物の交換時において、配線を容易に入賞球誘導樋から取り出すことができ、役物交換の作業時間を短縮することができる入賞球誘導樋を提供することを目的とする。
【0012】
【課題を解決するための手段】
上記の目的を達成するために、請求項1に記載の発明の入賞球誘導樋では、入賞球を取り入れる入賞口や役物の取付口を有する遊技盤に組み付けられる入賞球誘導樋であって、前記遊技盤に当接する当接板と、当該当接板に立設され入賞球の誘導路の側壁を形成する側壁部材と、前記側壁部材に横設され入賞球の誘導路の裏面を閉成する裏板部材と、前記側壁部材に設けられ、前記遊技盤へ前記入賞球誘導樋を組み付ける際に、該遊技盤に取り付けられた前記役物の配線を該入賞球誘導樋の外に取り出すためのものであって、当該役物の交換時には使用されない第一の配線取出口と、前記裏板部材に設けられて前記役物に対向する位置で開口し、当該役物を新しい役物に交換する際に、交換した新しい役物の配線を取り出すための第二の配線取出口と、前記誘導路内に設けられ、前記役物の配線を前記第一の配線取出口と前記第二の配線取出口のどちらに挿通した状態でも入賞球が前記配線に干渉することを避ける球除けガイド部材とを備えている。
【0013】
なお、「立設」とは、当接板に対して側壁部材が立った状態で設けられていることを意味し、必ずしも接合箇所が直角に角ばっている必要はなく、二つの部材の接合箇所が面取りや曲面加工されているものも含み、また、当接板に対して側壁部材が一定の傾斜角を持っているものも含む概念である。また、「横設」とは側壁部材に対して裏板部材部材が横方向へ向けて設けられていることを意味し、当接板に対して立設している側壁部材に対して裏板部材が横設されていることから、当接板と裏板部材が略平行の位置関係になり、当該当接板と裏板部材との間に側壁部材が配置されて入賞球の誘導路を形成している。さらに、ここでいう入賞球誘導樋は当接板、側壁部材及び裏板部材が一体形成されているものも、当接板、側壁部材及び裏板部材を各々接合して形成しているものも含むものである。
【0014】
上記の構成を有する入賞球誘導樋では、遊技盤に入賞球誘導樋を組み付けるときに、遊技盤に取り付けられる入賞球検出装置や役物等の配線を、側壁部材に設けらている第一の配線取出口を利用して入賞球誘導樋の外に取り出して、当該入賞球誘導樋を遊技盤の裏面に固定してパチンコゲーム機を完成する。その後、役物等の交換の必要が生じたときには、遊技盤の表面から当該役物等を交換し、交換した役物の配線は遊技盤の裏板部材に設けられている第二の配線取り出し口から取り出される。従って、役物等の交換時に配線の取り出しが容易にできる。また、入賞球誘導樋内の入賞球の誘導路には、役物の配線を第一の配線取出口と第二の配線取出口のどちらに挿通しても入賞球が役物の配線に干渉するのを避けるための球除けガイド部材を設けられている。この構成により、入賞球は球除けガイド部材に案内されて役物の配線を第一の配線取出口と第二の配線取出口のどちらに挿通してもこの配線を回避して流下するので、役物の交換後に配線の取り出し方向が変わっても、入賞球が役物の配線に干渉して球詰まり等を生じることがない。
【0015】
【0016】
【0017】
【0018】
【発明の実施の形態】
次に、本発明の一実施の形態である入賞球誘導樋1について図1乃至3を参照して説明する。図1は、本実施の形態の入賞球誘導樋1の正面図、図2は入賞球誘導樋1を遊技盤2の裏面に組み付けた状態を示す遊技盤2の裏面図、図3は入賞球誘導樋1の他の実施の形態を示す正面図である。
【0019】
本発明の一実施の形態である入賞球誘導樋1が使用されるパチンコゲーム機では、前記従来技術と異なる点は、入賞球誘導樋1のみであるので、入賞球誘導樋1の構造について詳述する。
【0020】
なお、本実施の形態では、後述する当接板5乃至16が、請求項1にいう「当接板」に該当し、誘導側壁25乃至35が、同じく「側壁部材」に該当し、裏板21乃至24が、同じく「裏板部材」に該当し、側面配線取出口38乃至41が、同じく「第一の配線取出口」に該当し、裏面配線取出口42乃至45が、同じく「第二の配線取出口」に該当する。また、後述する雄コネクター55乃至58が請求項3にいう「端子」に該当し、球除けガイド36及び37が、請求項4にいう「球除けガイド部材」に該当する。
【0021】
図1に示す入賞球誘導樋1は、図2に示す遊技盤2の各入賞口から入賞したパチンコ球を遊技盤2の裏面において誘導案内するために設けられている誘導カバーであり、透明のABS樹脂から構成され、一定の弾性を有している。図1に示すように、入賞球誘導樋1の中央部には、図2に示す液晶表示板3を避けるための中央開口4が設けられ、入賞球誘導樋1の外周部には、遊技盤2の裏面に平行に当接する当接板5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16が形成されている。この当接板5乃至16は、ABS樹脂の薄板から構成されており、タッカー(ステープル)を打ち込んで、遊技盤2に入賞球誘導樋1を固定するために使用されるものである。また、当接板6,8,13,15には、扁平の円柱形状の位置合せ突起17,18,19,20が遊技盤2方向に各々突設されている。
【0022】
さらに、入賞球誘導樋1には前記各当接板5乃至16と平行に設けられた裏板21,22,23,24が設けられ、前記各当接板5乃至16と各裏板21乃至24との間には、入賞球の誘導路の側壁を形成する誘導側壁25,26,27,28,29,30,31,32,33,34,35が設けられている。この誘導側壁25乃至35の内部の高さは、入賞した球をスムーズに流下させるためにパチンコ球の直径よりやや大きく形成されている。
【0023】
さらに、図1に示すように、入賞球誘導樋1内には、球除けガイド36,37が形成されている。この球除けガイド36,37は、前記誘導側壁と同じ高さの壁であり、入賞球誘導樋1内を流下する入賞球が役物や配線に干渉するのを防止して、球詰まりを防止するために設けられている。
【0024】
次に本実施の形態の重要な構成である配線取出口について説明する。図1に示すように、誘導側壁25には側面配線取出口38が開口され、誘導側壁26には側面配線取出口39が開口され、誘導側壁30には側面配線取出口40が開口され、誘導側壁31には側面配線取出口41が開口されている。これらの配線取出口38乃至41は、入賞球誘導樋1を樹脂成形するときに金型により一体として開口形成されている。これらの側面配線取出口38乃至41はパチンコゲーム機の組立時に入賞球誘導樋1を遊技盤2に組付ける時に使用される。即ち、入賞球誘導樋1を遊技盤2に組付ける時には、後述する役物46乃至49の配線51乃至54を側面配線取出口38乃至41から各々横方向に引き出しておいて、入賞球誘導樋1を遊技盤2に固定する。
【0025】
さらに、本実施の形態の入賞球誘導樋1では、図1及び図2に示すように役物46に対向する裏板21上に裏面配線取出口42が開口され、役物47に対向する裏板22上に裏面配線取出口43が開口され、役物48に対向する裏板23上に裏面配線取出口44が開口され、役物49に対向する裏板24上に裏面配線取出口45が開口されている。各裏面配線取出口42乃至45は円形の貫通孔であり、その直径は、図2に示す役物46,47,48,49の配線51,52,53,54の各先端に各々固着されている雄コネクター55,56,57,58が通過でき、かつ、入賞球は通過できない直径になっている。例えば、一般的なパチンコ球の直径が11mmであるので、裏面配線取出口42乃至45の直径は11mm以下(一例として、10mm)であることが必要であり、雄コネクター55乃至58は、例えば、10mmの直径の穴を通過できるような形状であることが必要である。
【0026】
また、裏面配線取出口は必ずしも円形でなくてもよく、四角形や三角形や楕円形であってもよく、各雄コネクター55乃至58が通過できる形状であれば足りる。例えば、図3に示すように、横長の長方形の裏面配線取出口59,60,61,62を設けてもよい。なお、上記の配線裏面配線取出口42乃至45及び59乃至62は、役物46乃至49の交換時に各役物46乃至49の配線51乃至54を取り出すために使用される。
【0027】
次に、本実施の形態の入賞球誘導樋1の作用について説明する。入賞球誘導樋1の作用は、遊技盤2の役物46乃至49を交換するときに発揮されるので、役物交換作業について順を追って説明する。
【0028】
例えば役物46が故障した場合には、先ず、遊技盤2の表面から、役物46の固定ねじを外して、役物46を遊技盤2から外す。このとき、入賞球誘導樋1と遊技盤2は組み付けられたままである。ここで、役物46の配線51の先端の雄コネクタ55は、入賞球誘導樋1の裏板上に固定されている図示外の中継基盤の雌コネクタに接続されているので、当該雄コネクタ55を図示外の中継基盤の雌コネクタから外し、側面配線取出口38から引き抜く。
【0029】
そして、新しい役物46を遊技盤2の表面からルーター穴63にはめ込むのであるが、新しい役物46を遊技盤2のルーター穴63にはめ込む前に、配線51をルーター穴63から入賞球誘導樋1の裏板21に開口した裏面配線取出口42を通過させておく、即ち、役物46の交換時には、側面配線取出口38は使用されない。裏面配線取出口42は役物46に対向する位置、即ち、役物46を取り付けるルーター穴63の真上に開口しているので、側面配線取出口38を使用する場合に比べ、配線51の取り出しや、コネクター55の通過は容易にできる。そして、新しい役物46を遊技盤2にねじ止めし、配線51の先端の雄コネクター55を図示外の中継基盤上の雌コネクターに差し込む。以上の作業により、故障した役物46を新しい役物46に交換する作業が容易にできる。
【0030】
以上のように、本実施の形態の入賞球誘導樋1では、役物交換時に使用する裏面配線取出口42乃至45を役物46乃至49の真上に各々備えているので、各役物の配線51乃至54が容易に入賞球誘導樋1の裏面に取り出すことができ、役物交換作業の時間が短縮できる。
【0031】
また、役物交換後に役物47,48の配線52,53が当該役物47,48の真上に設けられている裏面配線取出口43,44から取り出されるように配線の引き出し方向が変わっても、球除けガイド36,37を設けているので、入賞球が役物47,48や配線52,53に干渉することはなく、球詰まりも防止できる。
【0032】
本発明は上記の実施の形態に限られず、各種の変形が可能であることはいうまでもない。例えば、入賞球誘導樋は上下分割式でも一体式でも本発明は適用できる。
【0033】
【発明の効果】
請求項1に記載の発明の入賞球誘導樋では、遊技盤に入賞球誘導樋を組み付けるときに、遊技盤に取り付けられる入賞球検出装置や役物等の配線を、側壁部材に設けらているの第一の配線取出口を利用して入賞球誘導樋の外に取り出して、当該入賞球誘導樋を遊技盤の裏面に固定してパチンコゲーム機を完成する。その後、役物等の交換の必要が生じたときには、遊技盤の表面から当該役物等を交換し、当該役物の配線は遊技盤の裏板部材に設けられている第二の配線取り出し口から取り出される。従って、役物等の交換時に配線の取り出しが容易になり、役物等の交換の作業時間が短縮される。また、入賞球誘導樋内の入賞球の誘導路には、役物の配線を第一の配線取出口と第二の配線取出口のどちらに挿通しても入賞球が役物の配線に干渉するのを避けるための球除けガイド部材を設けられている。この構成により、入賞球は球除けガイド部材に案内されて役物の配線を第一の配線取出口と第二の配線取出口のどちらに挿通してもこの配線を回避して流下するので、役物の交換後に配線の取り出し方向が変わっても、入賞球が役物の配線に干渉して球詰まり等を生じることを防止できる。
