Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a ball game machine such as a pachinko machine, an arrangement ball machine, a sparrow ball game machine, and the like, in which the angle of a game board can be adjusted.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art As ball-and-ball game machines, there are combination game machines such as an arrangement ball machine and a sparrow ball game machine in addition to a pachinko machine. A combination gaming machine such as an arrangement ball machine, a sparrow ball gaming machine, etc. is used to repeatedly play a game with a predetermined pause time while driving a predetermined number (for example, 16) of game balls into a game area for each game. On the other hand, the pachinko machine does not have such a limitation.

[0003] Regardless of the type of pachinko machine or combination game machine, a ball game machine fires a game ball toward a game board by a firing means and hits a game ball into a game area of the game board. The game ball is dropped along the game board while colliding with a game nail or the like, and a prize means or the like wins the game ball. For this reason, the angle of the game board on the side of the game area has a great influence on how a game ball wins the winning means or the like.

Accordingly, when a ball-and-ball game machine such as an arrange ball machine is mounted on the frame side of a game island, the game area of the game board must be completely vertical or the upper side should be slightly rearward. It is necessary to maintain a substantially vertical state in which the inclination is very slightly backward at an inclination angle of less than degrees.

[0005]

Conventionally, when a ball game machine is mounted on a game island, an outer frame and a front frame of the game machine body are separated from each other, and the outer frame is inserted into a frame of the game island. Set to
While measuring the verticality and the like of the outer frame with measuring instruments such as a gauge, the outer frame is adjusted to a vertical state and fixed to the frame by fixing means such as nails. For this reason, conventionally, there is a disadvantage that the work for attaching to a game island becomes very complicated.

Further, the conventional mounting method is based on the premise that the front frame and the game board are parallel to the outer frame and have a predetermined appropriate relationship. However, ball game machines such as arrange ball machines are also industrial products that are mass-produced. Actually, there is a slight variation and play in each part of the outer frame and front frame, and the front frame and game board for each game machine. If the accuracy of the outer frame and the game board is insufficient due to the variation, accumulation of play, etc., etc., even if the outer frame is mounted vertically on the game island, the game board will be in the proper state Can not be kept.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In view of the above problems, it is an object of the present invention to provide a ball game machine in which a game machine body can be easily attached to a game island and the game board can be easily adjusted to an appropriate state. And

[0008]
