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 in a casing K as to be located at a left-side edge part of a ball feed hole 125 so as to correspond to a notch 125e formed at the left-side edge of the ball feed hole 125 of the casing K. A blade 173 of the metal plate 170 is raisedly formed in the notch 125e so as to inclinedly extend in the game ball feeding direction of the ball feed hole 125. Further the blade 173, along with both side ends, is inclinedly formed in the notch 125e along a same inclined line from the lower side toward the upper side so as to come close to the bottom of the notch part 125e at an extension tip end 173d thereof.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 11 |
