REMAINED PACHINKO BALL DETECTOR

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To enable to detect the number of Pachinko balls in a range wider than conventionally executed and to linearly detect the number of remained Pachinko balls, by equipping plural detecting parts for Pachinko balls on a straight arrangement part in an upper tray. SOLUTION: A common electrode 17 is connected to the ground and each of movable electrodes 181 -18n is connected to a power source through a resistance and a CPU. When Pachinko balls are remained in a row in a straight arrangement part 16, each of switches 191 -19n is switched ON or OFF every time Pachinko balls 23 are discharged and the outputs are given to the CPU since the Pachinko balls 23 are moved toward the down stream one by one. Since a range where no Pachinko ball is remained is kept in an OFF condition. The number of Pachinko balls 23 remained in the straight arrangement part 16 is linearly detected and a corresponding output is given.
