A matching locking piece 95 is provided protrudingly, and one end side of the two-pronged spring 92 is locked to the protrusion 93 on the long rod side of the operating rod 90, and the other end side is locked to the locking piece 95 of the operating rod 91. The locking piece 95 is press-locked to the protrusion 94 on the short rod side, and the disk 97 is fixedly installed on the drive shaft 96 of the motor 88, and one end of the continuous rod 98 is pivoted to the tip of the working rod 91, and the other end is fixed. Disc 9
The operating rod 90 is provided with a bifurcated portion 99 at the tip of the long rod side, and a vertically elongated hole 100 is bored in one side plate 83. A protrusion 101 is provided so as to protrude outward from the vertically elongated hole 100, and the protrusion 101 is loosely attached to the forked portion 99 of the operating rod 90. Since the present invention has the above-described configuration, when the button 21 is in the neutral position, the ball feeding device A uses the spring 28 of the holding rod 19 to move the upright piece 26 to the notch 16.
The charging rod 20 is positioned in the notch 16 by protruding above the plate 15 to dam the plate 15, and the spring 32 maintains the flat plate piece 30 on the same plane as the plate 15.

き取られる。Therefore, when a plurality of setting balls S are placed in the dish portion 15 of the case 14, the first setting ball S is positioned and held on the flat plate piece 30 of the charging rod 20, as shown in FIGS. 3 and 4. The upright piece 26 of the rod 19 prevents the ball from flowing down to the extraction port 17, and at the same time, the step between the ball inlet 11 and the plate portion 15 prevents the ball from flowing into the inlet 11, and the ball is placed in the waiting position on the flat plate piece 30. do. Next, when inserting the setting ball S, when the button 21 is pressed down as shown in FIG. 5, the auxiliary rod 31 is pushed down by the downward step 25 of the button 21 against the spring 32. The piece 30 bounces up to the same horizontal plane as the ball slot 11, and the setting ball S is thrown into the ball slot 11. When the flat plate piece 30 is flipped up, the second setting ball S is prevented from flowing down due to the difference in level between the flat plate piece 30 and the plate part 15, and only the setting ball S that was waiting on the flat plate piece 30 is released. Injected. When the button 21 is returned to the neutral position, the elastic force of the spring 32 restores the flat plate piece 30 to the same horizontal position as the plate part 15, and the second setting ball S is positioned on the flat plate piece 30. I look forward to it. In this way, each setting ball S, S, . When removing the setting balls S, S, etc. from the dish portion 15, when the button 21 is pushed up, the upward stepped portion 24 moves the base end 27 of the holding rod 19 against the spring 28, as shown by the chain line in FIG. Then, the upright piece 26 at the tip of the shovel is lowered to the lower surface of the dish part 15, the dam of the dish part 15 is released, and the setting balls S, S, etc. flow down to the extraction port 17 and are extracted. .

The setting balls S of the reference diameter flow out through the communication hole 48 to the defective ball discharge passage 39, pass through the small diameter ball discharge step 45, reach the central reference ball sorting step 46, and pass through the reference ball sorting step. 46 into the reference ball discharge passage 36, presses the actuator 56 provided at the outlet 57, and flows out, and upon receiving a signal from the micro switch 54 activated by the actator 56, a certain number of game balls (not shown) are released.
is placed at the firing position of the guide rail 3. Also, if a defective ball SL with a diameter larger than the standard diameter is thrown in, the 11th
As shown in the figure, after passing through the small diameter ball sorting stage 45 and the reference ball sorting stage 46, the final large diameter ball sorting stage 41
Then, the defective balls are discharged through the communication hole 49 to the defective ball discharge passage 39. The used ball collection and circulation device D is installed at the bottom of the gaming machine 1 with the ball receptacle 87 connected to the outlet 57 of the reference ball discharge passage 36 of the ball sorting device B, and is used for each of the plurality of gaming machines 1, 1,1...
In preparation for this, collection gutters 89, 89 are installed on adjacent gaming machines 1, 1.
' is passed through and connected from the earthen gutter part 86 to the lower gutter part 85, and the collection gutter 89, 89' is maintained at a constant slope, and a plurality of gaming machines 1, 1, 1, . . . Lay it through and guide it to the final collection location.

るかあるいは樋部65を通過流動している。Therefore, the setting ball S that has passed through the reference ball discharge passage 36 of the ball sorting device B falls from the ball socket 87 into the upper gutter section 86 and flows down the collection gutter 89 to the adjacent gaming machine 1.
Get on the lifting platform 84 through the lower gutter part 85 of
4 is moved to the upper gutter section 86, and the recovery gutter 89'
He then moved to the neighboring gaming machine 1 again, and some gaming machines 1,
1, 1, and so on to the final collection location. In this way, the used balls S2 are automatically collected and at the same time balls from a plurality of gaming machines are collected all at once. In addition, the ball supply circulation device C is fixedly installed at the upper position of the back surface of each game board 2 of the plurality of game machines 1, 1, 1, . The supply gutter 79 is connected to the gaming machines 1 adjacent to each other.
, 1, 1..., and are connected to the ball supply and circulation device C of each gaming machine 1, and the prize balls S1, which are the setting balls S, are distributed in the supply gutter 79, and the prize balls are stored in the storage tray 58. In the state in which the balls S1 are stored, the prize ball S1 is placed on the motor start switch 78, the motor start switch 78 is turned off, and the elevating gutter 64 is in the lowered position. The part 65 is connected to the storage tray 5.
The prize balls S, which are located below the notch step portion 63 of No. 8 and flowing down the supply gutter 79, either stay in the gutter portion 65 of the elevating gutter 64 or flow through the gutter portion 65.

When the connecting rod 76 is pulled and the V-shaped rod 71 raises the elevating gutter 64, and the cam 73 has made a half turn, the gutter portion 65 is positioned above the cutout step edge 63, and at that time, the plurality of particles staying in the gutter portion 65 are prize ball S1
is replenished from the notch step edge 63 into the storage tray 58, and the cam 73 makes a half turn and further rotates, thereby pushing down the connecting rod 76, lowering the elevating gutter 64 via the V-shaped rod 71, and opening the gutter section. 65 is positioned below the cutout step edge 63 and connected again to the replenishment gutter 79. At this time, the cam 73 makes one revolution and the cam portion 77 turns on the motor stop switch 74 to stop the operation of the motor 70. The prize ball S is raised and lowered through the elevating gutter 64 to the storage tray 58 in this manner.
1 can be automatically replenished, and at the same time, the supply of prize balls S of a plurality of gaming machines can be collectively managed.
