PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a guiding hose for Pachinko balls which can be used for conveying a mass of Pachinko balls, convey Pachinko balls in vertical, horizontal, and slant directions, and be used as a hose conveyer. SOLUTION: A female screw whose pitch is formed larger than the diameter of a Pachinko ball is set on the inner peripheral surface of the guiding hose to guide Pachinko balls from a first spot to a second spot. Pachinko balls drop and move inside the guiding hose by gravity. If the guiding hose is equipped with a drive mechanism to rotate the guiding hose in the circumferential direction, the Pachinko balls can be forcibly moved by the rotation of the guiding hose. By the guiding hose, a mass of Pachinko balls can be conveyed, and troubles of parts of island facilities are reduced by shock cushioning as a whole. COPYRIGHT: (C)2004,JPO
