BALL EXTRACTING DEVICE OF BALL SUPPLY TRAY IN PACHINKO MACHINE

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a device which can securely extract pachinko balls in a ball supply tray, preventing unnecessary extraction. SOLUTION: This pachinko machine has a ball supply device 19 consisting of a ball supply pathway 24 and a ball sending member 21. Pachinko balls in a ball supply tray 8 attached in the front of the front frame 1 of the pachinko machine are guided along the ball supply pathway 24 to the rear side of the frame. The ball sending member 21 is supported rotatable in the vertical direction by a pivot 26. Pachinko balls to be placed at the head of the supply pathway 24 when the ball sending member 21 is rotated downward are received and tentatively held on the top of the ball support part of the ball sending member 21. Then the pachinko balls are received one by one by rotating the ball sending member 21 upward and sent to a shooting position of a shooting rail 3 by rotating the ball sending member 21 downward. A ball extracting slot 32 communicating with an excess ball tray 9 is formed on the rear side wall of the ball supply pathway 24, and a ball extracting member 33 is movably attached to the ball extracting slot 32. The ball extracting member 33 usually closes the ball extracting slot 32 and can be moved by outside operation in the direction orthogonally crossing with the ball extracting direction. The top of the ball support part of the ball sending member 21 is formed as a slanting surface 39 on which pachinko balls are rolled toward the ball extracting slot 32.
