Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an outer frame for a pachinko game machine, which is formed entirely of a metal frame.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, an outer frame for a pachinko game machine is formed by framed a wooden side plate in a vertical rectangular shape, and a front frame in which a game board is integrated with one side of the front is openably and closably mounted. And a locking portion on the other side of the front surface where a hook provided on the front frame is removably locked so that the front frame can be locked.

[0003]

However, in the pachinko gaming machine outer frame, each of the side frames is made of wood, whereas the shaft supporting portion and the locking portion are made of metal, and the outer frame is made of metal. Since it is formed separately and attached and fixed with screws after framing the side frame, it takes a lot of troublesome time and time to manufacture the outer frame, and the work efficiency is poor or the production cost is increased. Was a factor. Also, in the case of a used outer frame, when the disposal process is to be performed, the side frame and the shaft support portion and the locking portion must be separated into flammable and non-flammable materials and processed, and screws are removed. However, there is a problem that the processing work is extremely troublesome.

In view of the above, the present invention has been made to solve the above-mentioned problems, and all the metal outer frames are formed, and at the same time, the shaft supporting portions and the locking portions are provided integrally with the side frames. It is an object of the present invention to provide an outer frame for a pachinko game machine, which can easily and efficiently perform the disposal and can easily perform the disposal.

[0005]

In order to achieve the above object, an outer frame for a pachinko game machine according to the present invention has a rectangular frame shape, and a front frame is pivotally mounted on one of the front sides of the front frame so as to be openable and closable. Outer frame for a pachinko game machine provided with a pivotal support portion, and a locking portion provided on the other side of the front surface so as to be able to lock the front frame so that a hook piece provided on the front frame is removably locked. In the above, the outer frame is entirely formed of a metal frame, and the pivot portion and the locking portion are provided integrally with the metal frame by punching or bending. As described above, since the outer frame is formed by the metal side frame, and the shaft support portion and the locking portion are integrally provided on the metal frame by punching or bending, manufacturing of the outer frame becomes extremely easy. Not only the work efficiency is good, but also the production cost can be reduced. Further, when the outer frame is discarded, the processing can be easily performed because all the frames are made of metal.

As described above, it is a combination of the side frame made of metal, that is, the pair of right and left frames 1a and 1b and the plate frame 1c, which can be assembled by tightening the screws 36. On the other hand, if the outer frame 1 is transported while being disassembled, it is possible to reduce the volume and increase the amount of transportation at one time, thereby reducing the transportation cost.

[0013]

As described above, the pachinko gaming machine outer frame according to the present invention is formed entirely of a metal frame.
Since the shaft support and the locking portion are provided integrally with the metal frame by punching or bending, the shaft support and the locking portion are attached to the outer frame in advance, as in the conventional outer frame. The labor and time required to manufacture the shaft support portion and the locking portion separately and made of a metal material are unnecessary,
This facilitates the manufacture of the outer frame and can reduce the manufacturing cost. Further, when the pachinko gaming machine is disposed of, since the outer frame is entirely made of metal, there is an effect that the trouble of separating the pachinko game machine by material can be omitted and the processing can be simplified.
