The board 10 can be attached to the attachment engaging portion 210.

  On the other hand, in the movement restricted state, that is, when the side surface 410a of the support part 410 is located at the movement restricted position P2, the game board 10 is fixed to the attachment engaging part 210, and the vertical restriction part (attachment engagement part 210). , 230 and the downward direction restricting parts 513, 514) restrict the vertical movement.

  By the way, even if the side surface 410a of the support portion 410 is located at the allowable movement position P1, the notch portion 421 is formed in the support portion 410 as shown in FIGS. The pin portion 111 can be inserted into the guide groove 310, and there is no problem when the game board 10 is attached to or removed from the main body portion 2.

  In the movable restricting portion 400, as shown in FIGS. 13 and 20, the concave portions 431 and 432 are formed in the support portion 410 so that the operator can easily perform the sliding operation for sliding the movable restricting portion 400. Are provided, and the stopper portion 420 is provided with a concave portion 433 and a convex portion 434.

  As shown in FIGS. 13, 16, and 23, the support portion 410 includes a pressure contact portion 450 that presses against a pressure contact portion 118 (see FIGS. 9 and 10) of the mounting portion 110 provided on the game board 10. It has a projection part (convex part) 460 which is provided in a partial region of the part 450 and engages with the engaging part 117 (see FIG. 10) of the attaching part 110.

  The structure of the mounting engagement portion other than the above-described mounting engagement portion 210 will be described. The mounting engagement portion 230 has a structure that performs the same function as the mounting engagement portion 210. Further, the attachment engagement portion 220 has the same structure as the base portion 300 of the attachment engagement portion 210. Further, the attachment engagement portion 240 has a structure that performs the same function as the base portion 300 of the attachment engagement portion 210.

  In the configuration described above, an operation and a mounting structure for mounting the game board 10 to the main body 2 will be described with reference to FIGS.

  For example, an operator such as an operator who manufactures the gaming machine 1 or an operator who maintains the gaming machine 1 (the gaming board 10) uses the gaming board 10 provided with the mounting portions 110, 120, 130, and 140 as the main body. When engaging the attachment engaging portions 210, 220, 230, and 240 of the portion 2, first, the movable restricting portion 400 of the attachment engaging portion 210 is positioned at the allowable movement position P1.

  For example, when the game board 10 attached to the main body 2 is maintained, the movable restricting portion 400 of the attachment engaging portion 210 in the movement restricting state is allowed to move, that is, permitted to move as shown in FIG. It is swung so as to be located at the position P1. At this time, the operator restricts the movement by supporting and swinging one or more parts of the recesses 431 and 432 of the support part 410 and the recesses 433 and 434 of the stopper part 420 by hand. The part 400 can be easily swung. The same operation is performed on the mounting engagement portion 230.

  When the movable restricting portion 400 reaches the movement allowable position P1 in this way, the notch portion 421 is formed in the support portion 410 of the movable restricting portion 400 as shown in FIG. The part 111 can be inserted into the guide groove 310 of the base part 300.

  Therefore, the operator holds the game board 10 with both hands, and attaches the pin parts 111, 121, 131, 141 of the mounting parts 110, 120, 130, 140 of the game board 10 to the mounting engagement parts 210, 220, 230, 240. It inserts in the guide groove of a base part, and accommodates in the recessed part which is a predetermined support position.

  For example, as shown in FIG. 22, the pin portion 111 of the attachment portion 110 is inserted into the guide groove 310 so as to be guided by the guide groove 310 (inserted in the direction indicated by the dotted arrow in the figure). In the example shown in FIG. 22, the movable restricting portion 400 is omitted for convenience of explanation.

  Thus, when each pin part of each attachment part of the game board 10 is accommodated in each recessed part of each attachment engagement part, the temporary fixation of the game board 10 is complete | finished.

  When the game board 10 is temporarily fixed in this manner, each pin portion of each attachment portion of the game board 10 is accommodated in each recess portion of each attachment engagement portion, and the game board 10 is moved forward by the front direction restricting portion. Since the movement in the direction is restricted, the game board 10 does not move forward (fall down).

  Therefore, when the temporary fixing of the game board 10 is finished, the worker can release both hands holding the game board 10 and can move to the next work.

  That is, the operator performs a sliding operation to move the movable restricting portions of the attachment engaging portions 210 and 230 located at the movement allowable position P1 from the movement allowable position P1 to the movement restricting position P2.

  Then, for example, in the attachment engagement portion 210, the pressure contact portion 450 (the bottom surface) of the movable restricting portion 400 comes into pressure contact with the pressure contact portion 118 formed on the bracket 1100 of the attachment portion 110 provided on the game board 10.

  Thus, the vertical movement of the game board 10 is restricted by the upward restricting portion (that is, the movable restricting portion 400 of the mounting engagement portions 210 and 230) and the downward restricting portions 513 and 514.

  For example, in the mounting engagement portion 210 in the movement restricted state, the bracket 1100 (site 110a) is in contact with the portion (side surface) 420a of the stopper portion 420 of the movable restricting portion 400, and the protrusion ( (Convex part) 460 and the engaging part 117 formed on the bracket 1100 of the attaching part 110 are engaged.

  Thereby, in addition to the restriction | limiting of the movement to the front by the front direction control part 320 of the base part 300, the movement to the front direction is further controlled.

  Further, as described above, the movement in the vertical direction is restricted by the upper restriction part, that is, the movable restriction part 400 and the lower restriction part 513, 514 of the mounting engagement parts 210, 230, in other words, the vertical restriction part. In this case, the movement in the left-right direction is restricted by the left-right direction restricting portions 515, 516.

  As described above, since the game board 10 is restricted from moving in the vertical direction, the horizontal direction, and the forward direction, the game board 10 is surely fixed to the main body portion 2 (the respective mounting engagement portions thereof). This completes the final fixing of the game board 10.

  As described above, the worker guides each pin portion of each attachment portion of the game board 10 to the guide groove of each base portion of each attachment engagement portion of the main body portion 2 and accommodates it in the recess, and then The mounting operation from the temporary fixing to the main fixing of the game board 10 is performed by performing a sliding operation to move the movable restricting portions of the two upper mounting engaging portions from the movement allowable position P1 to the movement restricting position P2. Can be carried out in a series of operations.

  As described above, according to the first embodiment, the following effects (1) to (5) can be expected.

  (1) When engaging the mounting parts 110 to 140 of the game board 10 with the mounting engagement parts 210 to 240 of the main body part 2, the pin parts 111, 121, 131, 141 protruding to the side of the game board 10 are connected to the main body. When the pin part of the game board 10 is moved to the front direction restricting part 320 of the main body part 2 because it is moved to the front direction restricting part 320 via the guide groove 310 of each attachment engaging part of the part 2 Thus, the game board 10 is temporarily fixed, so that the game board does not fall forward even before the game board is fixed, and the workability of attaching the game board can be improved. .

  (2) In a state where the pin portion of the attachment portion is restricted from moving forward by the forward restriction portion 320, the vertical restriction portion, that is, the upward restriction portion (the movable restriction portion 400 of the attachment engagement portions 210 and 230). ) And the downward direction restricting portions 513, 514 and the left and right direction restricting portions 515, 516 restrict the forward, vertical, and left and right movements of the game board 10, so that the game board is temporarily fixed and permanently fixed. It becomes possible to make it stable.

  (3) Since the upward restricting portion, that is, the movable restricting portion 400 is movable between the movement allowable position P1 and the movement restricting position P2, the operator can fix the game board from temporary fixing to permanent fixing. Can be easily performed.

  (4) By sliding the movable restricting portion 400 swingably attached to the attachment engaging portions 210 and 230 having the guide groove 310 and the forward restricting portion 320 from the movement allowable position P1 to the movement restricting position P2. The pin portions 111 and 131 of the mounting portions 110 and 130 are moved to the front direction restricting portion 320 through the guide groove 310 and the movement of the game board 10 in the temporarily fixed state is restricted and fixed. Therefore, the fixing operation from the temporary fixing of the game board to the main fixing can be continuously (collectively) performed by the mounting engagement portion and the movable member. Thereby, the structure for carrying out from the temporary fixing of the game board to the main fixing can be realized with a simple structure.

  (5) The game board 10 existing at the movement restricting position P2 is restricted by the movable restricting portion 400 (upward restricting portion) and the downward restricting portions 513 and 514, and the stopper portion 420. Since the forward movement is restricted by this, the game board can be firmly fixed firmly.

The restriction case 725 is provided so as to protrude from the surface portion 722 a of the board upper case 722 in the direction opposite to the effect control board 721. The restriction case 725 covers the ROM cartridge 724 and restricts the movement of the ROM cartridge 724.

  Here, the board upper case 722 has four corners of the board upper case 722 through holes formed in the four corners of the surface part 721a of the effect control board 721, respectively. The four corners are fixed by screws or the like, for example.

  As a result, the effect control board 721 to which the ROM cartridge 724 and the like are attached is fixed to the board lower case 723. The substrate upper case 722 covers the surface portion 721a of the effect control substrate 721 to which the ROM cartridge 724 and the like are attached.

  The bottom surface 723a of the substrate lower case 723 of the effect control board unit 720 is attached to the control system unit 71 so that the board upper case 722 of the effect control board unit 720 faces the outer case 72 of the control system unit 71. (For example, screwed).

  When each of the units 710 to 760 is attached to the control system unit 71 (for example, screwed), the control system unit 71 has its bottom surface 71a (see FIG. 28) facing the back side of the main body 200. And attached to a predetermined portion of the main body 200 (for example, screwed).

  Finally, the outer case 72 is attached (for example, screwed) to the control system unit 71 attached to the main body 200 so as to cover the units 710 to 750.

  Incidentally, as described above, in the second embodiment, the effect control board unit 720 functions as a display control means (display control board) for controlling the display of the liquid crystal display device 20. However, since the effect control board unit 720 controls the liquid crystal display device 20 under the instruction of the main control board unit 710, the main control board unit 710 and the effect control board unit 720 actually cooperate to display the display. It fulfills the function of the control means (display control board).

  Here, the model change of the gaming machine accompanying the change of the production content is performed according to the following operation procedures (1) to (4).

  (1) For example, when the model change is performed in the state of the pachinko gaming machine 1 shown in FIG. 1, the main body 200 (see FIGS. 24 and 25) supported rotatably on the wooden frame 2a is opened. .

  (2) The outer case 72 of the control system case 70 is removed, and further, the board upper case 722 of the effect control board unit 720 is removed.

  (3) The ROM cartridge 724 mounted on the production control board 721 is removed, and the ROM cartridge 724 corresponding to the new production content is replaced with the ROM cartridge 724 corresponding to the new production content. To do.

  (4) The board upper case 722 of the effect control board unit 720 is attached, then the outer case 72 of the control system case 70 is attached, and finally the main body 200 is closed.

  As described above, the change of the model of the gaming machine due to the change of the production contents can be realized by exchanging a new ROM cartridge and an old ROM cartridge.

  As described above, in the second embodiment, the liquid crystal display device 20 is attached to the main body 200 from the front surface side of the main body 200, and the game board 10 is further attached from the front surface side of the main body 200 (that is, the game board 10). The control system case 70 is attached to the main body 200 from the back side of the main body 200.

  Therefore, in the second embodiment, the main body 200 does not have a large opening through which the display control board (actually, the control system case 70 having the display control board) is inserted. Therefore, since the main body 200 does not have a large opening for the display control board, the rigidity of the main body 200 is large.

  On the other hand, in the conventional gaming machine, an opening through which a display control board loaded on the back side of the game board to which the display device is attached is provided in the main body (base door) corresponding to the main body 200. . Therefore, since the main body (base door) has a large opening for the display control board, the rigidity of the main body (base door) has been reduced.

  Next, the configuration of the main body 200 will be described with reference to FIGS.

  FIG. 32 shows a state (front view) of the main body 200 viewed from the front side before the liquid crystal display device 20, the game board 10 and the open / close door 30 are attached. The example shown in FIG. 31 has a configuration in which the liquid crystal display device 20 is deleted from the configuration of the example shown in FIG.

  33 to 36 are enlarged views showing the main part of the main body 200 according to the second embodiment.

  32 to 36, the same reference numerals are given to portions that perform the same functions as the components shown in FIG.

  In the configuration of the example shown in FIG. 5, the main body 200 moves upward in a recess 520 (hereinafter referred to as an inverter substrate receiving recess) that accommodates an inverter board provided in the liquid crystal display device 20, and in the liquid crystal display device 20. Steps to be regulated (hereinafter, referred to as upward movement regulation step parts) 531 and 532 and four bosses 541, 542, 543 and 544 for fixing the liquid crystal display device 20 to the main body 200 are added. .

  The main body 200 is formed with a plurality of notches (holes) 551 for radiating the heat staying inside the main body 200 to the outside at a predetermined site.

  A plurality of holes 521 for radiating heat generated from the inverter board to the outside are formed at the bottom of the inverter board housing recess 520.

  By the way, as described in the first embodiment, the main body 2 (the main body 200) includes the mounting engagement portions 210 and 230 that restrict the forward movement of the liquid crystal display device 20, and the lower end of the liquid crystal display device 20. Step portions (hereinafter referred to as lower end support step portions) 517 and 518 are provided.

  That is, the main body 200 has lower end supporting step portions 517 and 518 (see FIGS. 34 and 35) for supporting the lower end of the liquid crystal display device 20, and an upward movement restriction step portion 531 for restricting upward movement thereof. 532 (see FIG. 33 and FIG. 36 for the upward movement restricting step portion 531), attachment engaging portions 210 and 230 having a function of a protrusion that supports the upper end thereof (see FIG. 33 and FIG. 36 for the attachment engaging portion 210) Is provided.

  In the lower end support steps 517 and 518, the lower surfaces of the liquid crystal display device 20 are supported by the upper surfaces 517a and 518a, respectively.

  In addition, as shown in FIG. 33, the mounting engagement portions 210 and 230 serve as protrusions that support the upper end of the liquid crystal display device 20 and restrict the movement of the liquid crystal display device 20 in the forward direction. , A lower part 341 of the part 340 of the base part 300. That is, it can be said that the projecting portion is a game board fixing member when the game board 10 is permanently fixed, that is, for example, a portion 340 of the base portion 300 in the attachment engagement portion 210.

  In other words, the liquid crystal display device 20 is attached to the main body 200 from the surface side of the main body 200 so as to be located behind the game board 10, and the upper end of the liquid crystal display device 20 is moved forward by the protrusion. And the lower end of the liquid crystal display device 20 is supported by the lower end support step.

  As described above, in the second embodiment, the liquid crystal display device 20 can be temporarily fixed using the upper two attachment engaging portions 210 and 230 for fixing the game board 10.

  Again, a description will be given with reference to FIG. The distance (height) H1 from the upper surfaces 517a and 518a of the lower end support steps 517 and 518 to the tip surface of the lower part 341 of the base part 300 part 340 in the mounting engagement parts 210 and 230 is shown in FIG. It is shorter than the height H of the liquid crystal display device 20 shown in FIG.

  That is, when the lower end of the liquid crystal display device 20 is placed on the upper surfaces 517a and 518a of the lower end support steps 517 and 518, and the liquid crystal display device 20 is perpendicular to the upper surfaces 517a and 518a, the liquid crystal display device is provided. 20 is in contact with the lower part 341 of the part 340 of the base part 300, and the lower end support step parts 517, 518 and the mounting engagement parts 210, 230 so as to restrict the forward movement of the liquid crystal display device 20. (The base portion 300).

  Further, the distance (width) between the side portion W1 and the side portion W2 in the concave portion 500 of the main body 200 is slightly longer than the width W of the liquid crystal display device 20 shown in FIG. That is, the width between the side portion W1 and the side portion W2 is such that the four holes 22a of the four fixing portions 22 to 25 provided in the liquid crystal display device 20 when the liquid crystal display device 20 is attached to the recess 500. ˜25a and the four bosses 541 to 544 provided in the concave portion 500 of the main body 200 can be attached so that the liquid crystal display device 20 can be attached, and the side portion W1 and the side portion W2 of the concave portion 500 can be attached. Thus, the width of the liquid crystal display device 20 can be restricted so as to be restricted.

  Under such preconditions, the lower end of the liquid crystal display device 20 is connected to the upper surfaces of the lower end support steps 517 and 518 while the upper end of the liquid crystal display device 20 is in contact with the lower portion 341 of the portion 340 of the base portion 300. 37 shows the mounting state of the liquid crystal display device 20 in the vicinity of the mounting engagement portion 210 when placed on the 517a and 518a, and FIG. 38 shows the mounting state of the liquid crystal display device 20 in the vicinity of the lower end support step portion 517. Furthermore, the attachment state of the liquid crystal display device 20 in the vicinity of the lower end support step portion 518 is shown in FIG.

  Incidentally, the example shown in FIG. 37 is a state where the liquid crystal display device 20 is attached in the example shown in FIG. 33, and the example shown in FIG. 38 is a state where the liquid crystal display device 20 is attached in the example shown in FIG. In the example shown in FIG. 39, the liquid crystal display device 20 is attached in the example shown in FIG.

  As already described, since the inverter board is attached to the back surface of the liquid crystal display device 20 and the cover case 21 is further attached (see FIG. 25), a convex portion is formed on the back surface side of the liquid crystal display device 20. It is in the state. However, as shown in FIGS. 40 and 41, the convex portion (cover case 21) is accommodated (fitted) in the inverter board accommodating concave portion 520 formed in the concave portion 500 of the main body 200.

  Therefore, even if the liquid crystal display device 20 is attached to the main body 200 from the front surface side of the main body 200, the cover case 21 is housed in the inverter substrate housing recess 520. It can be attached to the main body 200 in a predetermined attachment state without tilting.

  Incidentally, as shown in FIG. 42, for example, in the mounting engagement portion 210 (the movable restricting portion 400 is omitted), the thickness of the liquid crystal display device 20 is between the portion 340 of the base portion 300 and the member of the main body portion 2. They are separated by a predetermined distance d2 that is greater than or equal to d1.

  Further, when the base part 300, that is, the part 340 (lower part 341) is attached to the upward movement restriction step part 531 of the main body 200, the position of the bottom surface of the lower part (game board fixing member) 341 is upward. The distance L is lower than the position of the bottom surface of the movement restricting step portion 531. That is, a step having a distance L is formed between the bottom surface of the lower part (game board fixing member) 341 and the bottom surface of the upward movement restricting step portion 531.

  In the above-described configuration, the operator puts the liquid crystal display device 20 in the space between the lower portion 341 and the upward movement restricting step portion 531 so that the upper side of the liquid crystal display device 20 is interposed, and then puts the liquid crystal display device 20 into an arrow. It is rotated in the A direction, and the lower side of the liquid crystal display device 20 is placed on the lower end support steps 517 and 518 (see FIGS. 34 and 35) of the main body 200.

  Thereby, since the upper side of the liquid crystal display device 20 is in contact with the side surface 341a of the lower portion 341, the lower side of the liquid crystal display device 20 is placed on the lower end support steps 517 and 518 of the main body 200. It does not fall forward (see FIGS. 42 and 43). This completes the temporary fixing of the liquid crystal display device 20.

  At this time, four holes 22 a, 23 a, 24 a, 25 a of four fixing portions 22, 23, 24, 25 (see FIG. 26) provided in the liquid crystal display device 20, and four provided in the main body 200. Since the bosses 541, 542, 543, and 544 (see FIG. 32) substantially coincide with each other, the liquid crystal display device 20 is temporarily fixed in a positioned state. For this reason, it is possible to easily perform the main fixing, which is the next operation.

  Thereafter, in the liquid crystal display device 20, a fixing member such as a screw is screwed to the bosses 541, 542, 543, and 544 of the main body 200 through the holes 22 a, 23 a, 24 a, and 25 a of the fixing portions 22, 23, 24, and 25. This is fixed by being stopped.

  As described above, the liquid crystal display device 20 is permanently fixed to the main body 200. Further, as described above, the liquid crystal display device 20 is installed in the mounting engagement portion (the base portion thereof) when the game board 10 is permanently fixed. And the game board 10 are attached in an arrangement relationship as shown in FIG. 44, for example. That is, the liquid crystal display device 20 is arranged behind the game board 10. 44, the mounting portion provided on the game board 10, the movable restricting portion 400 of the mounting engaging portion 210, the inverter board provided on the liquid crystal display device 20, the cover case 21, and the like are not shown. .

  As described above, according to the second embodiment, the following effects (1) to (10) can be expected.

  (1) Since the liquid crystal display device 20 is attached to the main body 200 from the surface side, and the control system case 70 having the effect control board (display control board) 721 is attached to the main body 200 from the back side, It is not necessary to provide a large opening for the display control board with respect to the main body 200, which is necessary in the technology, and the rigidity of the main body 200 can be increased.

  (2) A ROM cartridge (storage device) 724 detachably attached to an effect control board (display control board) 721 built in a control system case 70 attached to the main body 200 from the back side of the main body 200 is a game Since information related to the production according to the model of the machine is stored, the ROM cartridge (storage device) corresponding to the new model and the ROM cartridge (storage device) corresponding to the old model (that is, currently installed) The model can be changed by replacing the ROM cartridge. Thereby, the rigidity of the main body 200 can be increased, and the model can be easily changed.

  (3) The game board 10 formed of a translucent member is attached to the main body 200 from the surface side of the main body 200 so that the liquid crystal display device 20 can be visually recognized via the translucent member. Therefore, for example, when a pattern or a character to be applied to the game board 10 is displayed on the liquid crystal display device 20 as an image corresponding to the pattern or the character, the player may display the pattern or the character on the game board 10. Therefore, even if it is desired to change, for example, a pattern or a character to be applied to the game board corresponding to the model of the gaming machine, the game board 10 should be replaced. Instead, the model can be changed only by replacing the ROM cartridge storing the image data corresponding to the desired pattern or character.

  (4) Even if it is the liquid crystal display device 20 provided with the inverter board | substrate on the back surface, since it can be attached to the main body 200 from the surface side, the liquid crystal display device 20 can be easily attached to the main body 200, and an inverter board | substrate. The housing recess 520 can further increase the rigidity of the main body 200.

  (5) Since heat generated from the inverter board is radiated from the plurality of holes 521 formed in the inverter board housing recess 520, the heat radiation effect can be improved.

  (6) Regarding the lower end of the liquid crystal display device 20, the lower end of the liquid crystal display device 20 may be supported (placed) on the lower end support steps 517 and 518 provided in the main body 200. Attachment is easy and a stable fixed state can be maintained, and the rigidity of the main body 200 can be further increased by the lower end support steps 517 and 518.

  (7) Since the upward movement of the liquid crystal display device 20 is restricted by the upward movement restriction step portions 531 and 532 provided in the main body 200, the liquid crystal display device 20 can be maintained in a stable and fixed state. The rigidity of the main body 200 can be further increased by the direction movement restricting step portions 531 and 532.

  (8) The liquid crystal display device 20 is attached to the main body 200 from the surface side of the main body 200 so as to be located behind the game board 10, and the upper end of the liquid crystal display device 20 is provided in the concave portion 500 of the main body 200. The forward movement is restricted by the base portions (protruding portions) 300 of the mounting engagement portions 210 and 230, and the lower end support step portion 517 provided in the concave portion 500 of the main body 200 with the lower end of the liquid crystal display device 20 being restricted. Since it is supported by 518, the four holes 22 a to 25 a of the four fixing portions 22 to 25 provided in the liquid crystal display device 20 and the four bosses provided in the concave portion 500 of the main body 200. Since 541 to 544 substantially coincide with each other, the liquid crystal display device 20 can be easily positioned. That is, since the liquid crystal display device 20 is temporarily fixed in a positioned state, the next operation can be easily performed.

  (9) When the main fixing is performed on the liquid crystal display device 20 that is temporarily fixed in a positioned state, the operator does not press (support) the liquid crystal display device 20 and the fixing is performed using both hands, for example. Since the four holes 22a to 25a of the four fixing portions 22 to 25 and the four bosses 541 to 544 substantially coincide with each other as described above, it is easy to fix the screws. This makes it possible to improve the work efficiency of mounting the liquid crystal display device 20.

  (10) Since the liquid crystal display device 20 can be temporarily fixed using the upper two attachment engaging portions 210 and 230 for fixing the game board 10, the liquid crystal display device 20 is fixed (temporarily fixed). For example, a member that prevents the liquid crystal display device 20 from falling forward can be suppressed. Specifically, the lower part (game board fixing member) 341 of the part 340 of the base part 300 in the mounting engagement parts 210 and 230 is used as a protruding part that restricts the forward movement of the liquid crystal display device 20. Therefore, the base portion 300 in the mounting engagement portions 210 and 230 can be used also as the protruding portion, and it is not necessary to use a dedicated protruding member that restricts the forward movement of the liquid crystal display device 20, and the minimum required The liquid crystal display device 20 can be temporarily fixed using a limited member.

  (Embodiment 3)

  Next, a gaming machine according to Embodiment 3 of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

  The gaming machine according to the third embodiment basically has the structure (configuration) and function of the gaming machine according to the first and second embodiments described above. Here, only differences from the first embodiment and the second embodiment will be described.

  In the first embodiment, the description will focus on the mounting (mounting structure) of the game board, and in the second embodiment, the description will focus on the mounting (mounting structure) of the display device. Then, it demonstrates paying attention to attachment (attachment structure) of the game board and display apparatus by the latching | locking part with which the main body was equipped.

  Here, FIG. 45 is a perspective view showing the arrangement relationship between the display device and the game board in the third embodiment, excluding the movable restricting portion, and FIG. 46 is the arrangement relationship between the display device and the game board in the third embodiment. FIG. 47 is a perspective view showing an arrangement relationship between the display device and the game board in the third embodiment including the movable restricting portion in a state in which the movable restricting portion is excluded.

  Both the game board 10 and the liquid crystal display device 20 are attached to the main body 200 from the front direction, and the liquid crystal display device 20 comes to be positioned on the back side of the game board 10, so the liquid crystal display device 20 is first attached, Next, the game board 10 is attached.

  Therefore, in the following, the attachment of the liquid crystal display device 20 will be described according to such an attachment order, and then the attachment of the game board 10 will be described.

  In attaching the liquid crystal display device 20, the operator can use the lower portion 341 of the base portion 300 and the upward movement restricting step portions 531 and 532 (see FIGS. 32, 33, and 36, constituting the attachment engaging portions 210 and 230). 37, FIG. 42, and FIG. 43) are inserted from the front of the main body 2 so that the upper side of the liquid crystal display device 20 is interposed therebetween, and then the upper side of the liquid crystal display device 20 is pulled downward. Further, the lower side of the liquid crystal display device 20 is placed on the lower end support steps 517 and 518 (FIGS. 34 and 35) of the main body 200 while making contact with the side portion 341 (see FIG. 42).

  Accordingly, the upper side of the liquid crystal display device 20 is in contact with the side surface 341a of the lower portion 341 of the base portion 300 constituting the attachment engaging portions 210 and 230, that is, the upper end of the liquid crystal display device 20 is attached by the attachment engaging portions 210 and 230. Is locked (a part of the upper end of the liquid crystal display device 20 is covered) (see FIGS. 45 to 47), so that the lower side is placed on the lower end support steps 517 and 518 of the main body 200. 20, the movement of the liquid crystal display device 20 in the forward direction is restricted by the mounting engagement portions 210 and 230, and the liquid crystal display device 20 does not fall forward.

  In this way, the liquid crystal display device 20 is temporarily fixed to the main body 200 as shown in FIGS.

  As described above, in the liquid crystal display device 20, the fixing members such as screws are the bosses 541, 542 of the main body 200 through the holes 22 a, 23 a, 24 a, 25 a of the fixing portions 22, 23, 24, 25. This is fixed by screwing to 543,544.

  In this manner, after the liquid crystal display device 20 is temporarily fixed to the main body 200 by the mounting engagement portions 210 and 230, the game board 10 is fixed (mainly fixed) to the front side of the liquid crystal display device 20.

  In attaching the game board 10, the worker sets the movement restricting portion 400 to which the base portion 300 of the attachment engaging portions 210 and 230 is attached as the movement allowable position P <b> 1 (FIG. 20). Since the guide groove 310 formed in the base portion 300 and extending in the front-rear direction is in a state where the front is opened, next, the attachment portions 110, 120, 130, and 140 provided at the four corners of the game board 10 respectively. The pin portions 111, 121, 131, 141 are inserted into the guide grooves 310 of the base portion 300 of the mounting engagement portions 210, 220, 230, and 240, pushed backward, and dropped into the recess 311 that is a predetermined support position. (Accommodate).

  In this way, the pin portions 111, 121, 131, 141 provided at the four mounting portions 110, 120, 130, 140 of the game board 10 are dropped into the recesses 311 of the mounting engaging portions 210, 220, 230, 240, respectively. Then, by restricting forward movement by the front restricting portion 320, the game board 10 is temporarily fixed to the main body 200 in front of the liquid crystal display device 20, as shown in FIGS. The

  When the temporary fixing of the game board 10 is finished, next, in order to fix the game board 10 as shown in FIG. 47, the operator can move the attached base portions 300 of the mounting engagement portions 210 and 230 as shown in FIG. The restricting unit 400 is moved from the movement allowable position P1 to the movement restricting position P2 (FIG. 20). Thereby, the vertical movement of the game board 10 is reliably restricted by the movable restricting portion 400 and the downward restricting portions 513 and 514 of the attachment engaging portions 210 and 230.

  In addition, as described above, the bracket 1100 comes into contact with the portion 420a of the stopper portion 420 of the movable restricting portion 400 of the attachment engaging portions 210 and 230 in the movement restricted state, and the protrusion 460 of the movable restricting portion 400 Since the engaging portion 117 of the bracket 1100 is engaged, the forward movement is further restricted (see FIG. 23). Furthermore, when the vertical movement is restricted by the movable restriction part 400 and the downward restriction parts 513 and 514 of the mounting engagement parts 210 and 230, the horizontal movement is restricted by the left and right direction restriction parts 515 and 516. Will be.

  As a result, the game board 10 is restricted from moving up and down, left and right, and forward, so that it is securely fixed to the main body 200.

  In this manner, the game board 10 is locked (that is, fixed) and the liquid crystal display device 20 is temporarily fixed by the mounting engagement portions 210 and 230 provided in the main body 200. That is, the attachment engaging portions 210 and 230 serve both as locking (fixing) of the game board 10 and temporary fixing of the liquid crystal display device 20. Therefore, the function of the mounting engagement portions 210 and 230 as the game board fixing members extends not only to the fixing of the game board 10 but also to the temporary fixing of the liquid crystal display device 20. It becomes possible to improve versatility.

  As a result, a dedicated part for temporarily fixing the liquid crystal display device 20 is not necessary, and the number of parts can be reduced, thereby reducing the number of assembling steps for the gaming machine and reducing the cost.

  Further, the liquid crystal display device 20 is attached to the main body 200 from the front direction, and the attachment engaging portions 210 and 230 cover a part of the liquid crystal display device 20 and restrict the movement of the liquid crystal display device 20 in the forward direction. Therefore, when the liquid crystal display device 20 is attached / detached, the substrate mounted on the back surface of the main body 200 on which electronic components are mounted does not become an obstacle, and the attachment / detachment operation can be performed very easily. Become. Further, since the liquid crystal display device 20 is restricted from being moved in the forward direction, which is the mounting direction of the liquid crystal display device 20, only by covering a part of the liquid crystal display device 20 with the mounting engagement portions 210 and 230, the temporary display of the liquid crystal display device 20 is limited. Fixing can be performed easily.

  In FIGS. 45 to 47, the shaft portion 330 provided on the base portion 300 is divided into two at intervals in the length direction, unlike the cases shown in the first and second embodiments. Is formed with a flange 330a projecting radially outward.

  Thus, when the movable restricting portion 400 is attached, the divided shaft portions 330 are elastically deformed in a direction approaching each other and inserted into the movable restricting portion 400.
