DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a simulated ball box for storing pachinko balls used in a pachinko game store.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, a pachinko machine installed in a pachinko game store, as is well known, when a game ball fired on a game board enters a winning area, a predetermined number of prize balls are paid out from a prize ball payout device. It is paid out to the ball supply tray on the front of the machine. When the paid-out prize balls are filled and filled with the hit ball supply tray and the lower ball tray provided below the player, the player places the prize ball in the ball box for pachinko ball storage provided in the pachinko game store. He continued to play while pulling the ball and placing it at hand or stacking it at his feet. For this reason, at pachinko game arcades, extra play balls that are placed by the player at hand or piled up at the feet are placed on the supply route on the island where pachinko machines are installed side by side with multiple pachinko machines. It was very uneconomical because it was necessary to keep a large number of expected game balls.

On the other hand, in order to solve the above-mentioned problems, a prize ball storing section for storing a prize ball paid out from a prize ball payout device and a ball counter are provided at a lower portion of the front of the pachinko machine. The prize balls discharged from the ball opening provided at the bottom of the storage section are collected by the pachinko machine installation island while counting with a ball counter, and the required ball amount of the entire pachinko machine installation island is small. There has been proposed a pachinko machine capable of exchanging prize balls without putting a burden on a player (for example, see Japanese Patent Publication No. Hei 4-19875).

[0004]

However, in the above-mentioned conventional pachinko machine, when the prize ball storage unit becomes full, the player opens the ball-extraction opening and plays the prize ball while flowing the prize ball to the ball counter. As a result, it is not possible to show off your own ball to other players by stacking ball boxes for storing pachinko balls at your feet as in the past, so many hand-held balls However, it was not possible to give the players a sense of satisfaction and superiority.

On the pachinko parlor side, even if the pachinko machines are improved in terms of the pitching status of each pachinko machine to improve the service in order to attract customers, it is necessary that other players understand the pitching status at all. Therefore, there is a problem that not only the original purpose cannot be sufficiently achieved, but also an atmosphere that excites a player's desire to play is lacking.

[0006] The present invention has been proposed in view of the above,
According to the first aspect of the present invention, a ball box main body having an upper portion opened by a transparent or translucent synthetic resin is formed, and a large number of pachinko balls are deposited on the inner surface of the front, rear, left and right side plate portions of the ball box main body. It is characterized by sticking a sticker on which the printed state is printed.

According to a second aspect of the present invention, there is provided a ball box body having an upper portion opened with a transparent or translucent synthetic resin, wherein the front, rear, left and right side plates of the ball box body are provided with pachinko balls. It is characterized in that a plate body having a large number of hemispherical convex portions resembling a sphere formed on the entire surface is attached.

According to the simulated ball box for storing pachinko balls according to the first or second aspect, it is possible to present a feeling as if a large number of pachinko balls are stored in the ball box body. Even when playing with a pachinko machine that does not require a ball box, by stacking them at the feet, it is possible to give a sense of satisfaction and superiority to the player, and the status of each pachinko machine's pitching is limited to that player only In addition, it is possible to appeal to other players.

According to a third aspect of the present invention, there is provided a bottom plate portion of the ball box main body, the base portion having a hollow trapezoidal shape whose lower surface is opened at a position asymmetrical with respect to a center line of the bottom plate portion. It is characterized by being formed.
