Further, a receiving gutter 6 is provided on the back surface of the coin insertion slot 3, a guide gutter 7 is continuously provided at the lower end thereof, and a sensor switch SW2 is provided in the vicinity of a connecting portion of the guide gutter 7.

Therefore, when the coin inserted from the coin insertion slot 3 falls in the trough 6 and enters the guide gutter 7, after the sensor switch SW2 detects the passage, the coin passes through the guide gutter 7 and
It falls from the exit.

In FIG. 2, SM is a step motor, and a rotary disk 8 is attached to the rotary shaft thereof.

A plurality of columns 9 are erected on the rotating disk 8, and a receiving body 10 is attached to the tip of each column 9,
Is covered with a baseball player doll D, and the receiving body 10 is covered with a glove G.

Each receiving body 10 is provided with an outlet piece 12 pivotally supported by a supporting shaft 11, and a lower end of the outlet piece 12 is in contact with a lower side of the receiving body 10 by a spring 13 wound around the supporting shaft 11.

Therefore, as shown in FIG. 5, even if the coin C enters the receiving body 10, the outlet piece 12 closes the lower part thereof, and the receiving body 10 is closed.
The coin C is prevented from being discharged from the.

A receiving port 14 for receiving the coin C when the outlet piece 12 of the receiving body 10 is opened is provided at a position below the moving path of the receiving body 10 described above, and the receiving switch 14 has a detection switch SW3. It is installed.

Further, there is provided a rotating rod 16 which is rotated by the excitation of the solenoid SOL2 when the coin C reaches the receiving port 14 and the roller 15 at one end is raised.

Therefore, as the roller 15 rises, the outlet piece 12
The extended portion 12a of the roller hits the roller 15, and the outlet piece 12 is rotated against the bias of the spring 13 to eject the coin C into the receiving slot 14.

In FIG. 1, 17 is a 100-yen coin slot, 18 is a 10-yen coin slot, and on the backs of these slot 17 and 18, for detecting the operation of each coin by the inserted coin. Switches SW4 and SW5 are provided.

Further, 19 is an outlet for coins which are sent out as a prize and which is inserted by the coins inserted into the inlets 17 and 18, and the coins sent out on the back surface of the outlet 19 are operated for each coin. Switch SW for detection
6 is provided.

Further, the speaker SP is installed toward the front surface of the case 1, and the case 1 is configured to be movable by the carriage 20.

Then, by detecting the switches SW1 to SW6, a control circuit CPU for controlling each of the solenoids SOL1 and SOL2, the speaker SP, a memory ROM storing a program necessary for control, and a synthesizer PSG supplying a signal required for the speaker. Are connected as shown in the block diagram of FIG.

In the drawing, M is a motor for a hopper for sending out coins to the outlet 19, and its rotation is performed by a switch SWR of a relay R controlled by the output of a control circuit CPU.

SOL3 is a switch SW for detecting coin insertion.
4 is a solenoid that is operated by the control circuit CPU upon detection of SW4 and SW5 and closes the coin slot 17 and 18 similarly to the coin slot 3.

Further, SW4 and SW5 are coin insertion slots 17 and 1.
It is a solenoid that operates a meter that displays the number of coins thrown in 8.

Next, the operation of this coin play equipment will be described.

When the power switch SW7 is turned on, the output of the control circuit CPU causes the step motor SM to rotate at a speed of a beginner class, and the output of the music synthesizer PSG causes a desired announcement and music to flow from the speaker SP.

The player inserts a 10-yen coin or a 100-yen coin into the slot 17
Alternatively, when the switch SW4 and SW5 are turned on, the switches SW4 and SW5 detect the turn-on and the output of the control circuit CPU outputs the relay R
Is operated, the switch SWR is turned on, the motor M for the hopper is rotated, and coins are sent out from the outlet 19.

Since the switches SW4 and SW5 are turned on by the number of inserted coins, when the switch SW6 is turned on by a number corresponding to the number of coins inserted, the switch SWR is turned off by the relay R according to the command of the control circuit CPU, and the switch for the hopper is used. The motor M stops rotating.

That is, according to the number of inserted coins,
To be sent to.

At the same time, the output of the music synthesizer PSG is changed by the support of the control circuit CPU, an announcement is given from the speaker SP that the competition can be started, and the light emitting diode LED1 indicating the beginner class is turned on.

In response to this, the player does not have to press the switch SW1 when playing in the beginner class, but once in the intermediate class and once in the high class, the switch SW1 is pressed.
Press 1.

The light emitting diodes LED2 and LED3 are turned on according to the number of times the switch SW1 is pressed, and the selected difficulty level is displayed.

With the display of this difficulty level, the output of the control circuit CPU changes, and the step motor SM changes from constant speed rotation to high speed rotation.
Furthermore, it changes to a random slow-speed fluctuating rotation.

When the difficulty level is selected in this way, the player inserts coins into the coin insertion slot 3.

This coin drops the gutter 6 to turn on the switch SW2, and the output of the control circuit CPU causes the solenoid SOL1.
Is excited and the closing plate 4 is moved to close the coin insertion slot 3, so that continuous insertion of the next coin is prevented.

However, since the excitation of the solenoid SOL1 is released after a certain time, the next coin can be inserted.

The coin thus inserted moves along the guide gutter 7 according to its inclination and drops from the end thereof.

With the rotation of the step motor SM, the receiving bodies 10 of the columns 9 mounted on the rotating disk 8 pass through the end of the guide gutter 7 one after another.

Depending on the timing of coin insertion into the coin insertion slot 3, coins falling from the guide gutter 7 fall into the receiving body 10 and hit, but if the timing is incorrect, the receiving body 1
It falls out of 0 and becomes a miss.

While the rotating disk 8 is rotating, the solenoid SOL2 continues to be excited, so that the roller 15 of the rotating rod 16 hits the extension 12a of the outlet piece 12 of each receiving body 10 and causes the outlet piece 12 of the receiving body 10 passing therethrough. It is supposed to open.

However, when a coin is placed in the receiving body 10, the opening of the outlet piece 12 causes the coin to drop into the receiving opening 14, which is detected by the switch SW3. Then, in response to a command from the control circuit CPU, the excitation of the solenoid SOL2 is released, and the roller 15 descends. Therefore, the outlet piece 12 passes through here without opening. Therefore, even if the coin is inserted in the receiving body 10, the coin is discharged. There is no such thing.

Then, as described below, when the sending of the prize coins is completed, the solenoid SOL2 is excited again, and the outlet piece 12 of the next receiving body 10 is opened in the same manner as described above. Prevents malfunctions due to ejection.

On the other hand, when a winning coin is detected by the switch SW3, the relay R is operated by a command from the control circuit CPU, the switch SWR is turned on, the hopper motor M is rotated, and a coin as a prize is delivered to the outlet 19. Sent out.

However, the number of coins as a prize is determined by the selected difficulty level, and when the number of ON circuits of the switch SW6 reaches that number, the control circuit CPU releases the command to the relay R, and the number of coins for the hopper is increased. The motor M stops.

In this way, the number of coins corresponding to the selected difficulty level is sent out to the outlet 19.

While the coins are being sent out from the outlet 19 by such a hit coin, the coin inlets 17 and 18 close the inlets 17 and 18 by exciting the solenoid SOL3, so that the coin , Coins are inserted to prevent confusion with purchased coins, and troubles associated therewith are prevented.

[Effect of device]

As described above, according to the present invention, the difficulty level of the coin insertion timing can be changed by operating the operation means, so that the player can freely select the difficulty level according to his or her own playing ability.

Then, by setting the difficulty level to a difficult rank according to the skill, it is possible to play the game without losing interest for a long time, so that the player will not be tired and the sales can be increased accordingly.

Also, even if the timing of coin insertion by continuous insertion of coins is not set, it is possible to prevent the continuous insertion by closing the coin insertion opening for a certain period of time after the first coin insertion. Since only the timing of coin insertion is set, it is possible to prevent fraud, trouble, and loss of interest in play.

In addition, prizes are more expensive as they become more difficult to play, or by increasing the number of coins as prizes, the challenge will become more challenging and more exciting. Is something that can be done.
