Description

  The present invention relates to an operation handle of a pachinko machine that is projected from the lower part of a game board to play a game.

  Conventional operation handles of pachinko machines usually have a handle body mounted horizontally at the end of a handle mounting base extending forward of the pachinko machine, and the player is forced to have an unnatural way of bending the wrist. For this reason, there is a problem of feeling tired when playing for a long time. In order to solve such a problem, Japanese Patent Publication No. 7-96052 discloses that the tip of the handle mounting base of the pachinko machine and the mounting arm of the handle main body are tilted up and down by pins and mounted on the handle. The angled teeth that slide along the pins are pressed against the angled teeth fixed to the base by a compression spring, and the shaft of the handle body is connected to the handle body and the universal axis disposed on the pivot axis of the handle mounting base. An operation handle is disclosed which is connected to a ball force adjuster of a pachinko machine.

However, in the above invention, since the rotation shaft attached to the rotation lever of the operation handle is connected to the ball force adjusting device provided at the rear of the game board surface via the universal joint, the rotation shaft is long. There is a problem that the load is concentrated on the universal joint and is easily broken. Further, since the rotation shaft extends to the rear of the game board surface, it is not possible to provide a ballistic force adjuster device in the operation handle. For this reason, a space for installing the ballistic adjuster is provided on the back side of the game board. There is a problem that inconvenience arises when installing a gaming machine that is complicated and large in size. In addition, since the angled teeth are pressed against each other by a compression spring, when adjusting the tilt angle of the handle body, it cannot be tilted unless a large force against the urging force of the compression spring is applied. It was difficult to tilt.
