Mechanism for crane game machines and crane game machines

Abstract

This invention provides a mechanism for crane game machines that automatically returns the balls on the game board to their original positions when it detects that a prize has been won. [Solution] The mechanism for a crane game machine of this embodiment is a mechanism for a crane game machine that grasps and carries balls, and is characterized by comprising: a play surface (10) having a plurality of holes in which the balls can be stored and which is maintained in a substantially horizontal support state during play; a detector (40) that detects when the ball has been stored in a winning hole (12) selected from among the holes; and a tilting mechanism (50) that switches the play surface from a support state to a tilted state tilted diagonally downward according to the detection result of the detector.

Claims

1. A mechanism for a crane game machine that grabs and carries balls, The game board (10) has multiple holes (11) in which the aforementioned balls can be stored, and is maintained in a roughly horizontal position during gameplay. A detector (40) that detects when the ball is stored in the winning hole (13) selected from among the aforementioned holes, A tilting mechanism (50) that switches the surface of the panel from a supported state to a tilted state tilted diagonally downward, in accordance with the detection result of the detector, A mechanism for a crane game machine characterized by being equipped with the following features.

2. A mechanism for a crane game machine according to claim 1, A base portion (60) is positioned on the back of the inclined surface of the board, A projection (50) attached to the base portion and positioned corresponding to the hole on the surface of the board, A mechanism for a crane game machine characterized by being equipped with the following features.

3. A mechanism for a crane game machine according to claim 2, The aforementioned tilting mechanism is A winch that uses a motor to wind up a wire attached to the aforementioned surface, thereby changing the surface from an inclined state to a supported state, A rotating shaft tilting mechanism that rotates a rotating shaft attached to the aforementioned board surface with a motor, thereby changing the board surface from an inclined state to a supported state. A mechanism for a crane game machine characterized by being equipped with the following features.

4. A mechanism for a crane game machine according to claim 3, The detector is attached to one or more winning frames (13) that are detachable from the winning hole selected from among the holes. A mechanism for a crane game machine characterized by being equipped with the following features.

5. A crane game machine equipped with a mechanism for a crane game machine as described in any one of claims 1 to 4, A crane arm (3) that grasps and moves the ball in response to user operation, The ball rest (4) on which the balls to be grasped by the crane arm are placed A crane game machine characterized by having the following features.
