PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a ball feeder for game machines capable of executing smooth and stable ball feeding operation, while binding a game ball with thread and preventing entry thereof in a ball shooting direction with minimum necessary stationary components.SOLUTION: A metal plate 170 of the ball feeder is so installed as to be located at a left-side edge part of a ball feed hole 125 with respect to a casing K so as to close a notch 125e formed at the left-side edge of the ball feed hole 125 of the casing K, against a ball shooting rail 70b side. The metal plate 170 includes a blade 173, and the blade 173 is raisedly formed into a shape smaller than the shape of a hollow part of the notch 125e so as to inclinedly extend in the opposite direction of the ball feed hole 125 at a corresponding site of the inside area of the hollow part of the notch 125e. Further the blade 173 is inclinedly formed from the lower side toward the upper side so as to come close to the bottom of the notch 125e at an extension end 173d thereof.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 18 |
