【発明の詳細な説明】
【０００１】
【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は、遊技機に取り付けてそれを装飾する遊技機用装飾部品（以下単に装飾部品という。）に関する。
【０００２】
【従来の技術】
従来の技術を遊技機の一つであるパチンコ機を例示して説明する。周知のようにパチンコ機には遊技板があり、その遊技板にガイドレールで囲った円形の遊技領域が設けられている。そして、遊技板の遊技領域の外側上部に装飾部品が固着されている。
【０００３】
しかして、現在の装飾部品は裏側に突設した取付用ボスを遊技板側に穿設した取付孔に嵌合させる取付構造になっている。その作業は、装飾部品の取付用ボスと遊技板の取付孔を位置合わせした後、装飾部品の表面をプレス機で押し込むようにして行われる。
【０００４】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
前記装飾部品の取り付けは、プレス機の押圧ピン（図１符号１２参照）を装飾部品の表面に当てて押圧して行うようになっている。
本発明の目的は、部品主体の上にカバー部材を重ねた組合せ構造の装飾部品であっても、カバー部材を変形させることなく全体に均等に力を加えることができるようにすることにある。
【０００５】
【課題を解決するための手段】
本発明は上記に鑑みなされたもので、被装飾部材に穿設した取付孔に取付用ボスを嵌合させるようにした遊技機用装飾部品において、部品主体とその部品主体上に重なるカバー部材との結合構造となし、部品主体に前記取付用ボスを突設し、さらに部品主体の取付用ボスの前面に前記カバー部材の内面に当接するジョイントピンを突設してなる装飾部品を提供する。
【０００６】
また、被装飾部材に穿設した取付孔に取付用ボスを嵌合させるようにした遊技機用装飾部品において、部品主体とその部品主体上に重なるカバー部材との結合構造となし、部品主体に前記取付用ボスを突設し、さらにカバー部材の内面に部品主体の取付用ボスの前面に当接するジョイントピンを突設してなる遊技機用装飾部品を提供する。
【０００７】
さらにまた、装飾面を曲面または斜面を使って立体的に構成し、前記曲面または斜面の一部を迫り出させて被装飾部材の被取付面と平行な押圧スポットを前記カバー部材に形成するとともに、さらにその押圧スポットの裏側に前記ジョイントピンを配設してなる請求項１又は２記載の遊技機用装飾部品を提供する。
【０００８】
本発明の装飾部品は、部品主体の上にカバー部材を重ねた組合せ構造の装飾部品であっても、プレス機の押圧力がジョイントピンを介して取付用ボスに伝わるから、カバー部材を変形させることなく全体に均等に力を加えることができる。
また、請求項３に記載の装飾部品は、曲面または斜面を使って立体的に構成したカバー部材の装飾面に被装飾部材の被取付面と平行な押圧スポットを形成しその押圧スポットの裏側にジョイントピンを配設したため、プレス機の押圧ピンが押圧スポットに当たりジョイントピンを介してその力が１００％取付用ボスに伝達される。また、押圧ピンの全端面が押圧スポットに真っ直ぐ接触するから押圧ピンが逃げて滑るおそれもない。
【０００９】
【発明の実施の形態】
以下に本発明の実施の形態をパチンコ機を例示して説明する。なお、図１は遊技板に装飾部品を取り付ける工程を示す斜視図、図２は装飾部品の斜視図、図３は装飾部品の分解斜視図、図４は図２のＸ−Ｘ矢示部の一部を示す使用状態の断面図、図５は図２のＹ−Ｙ矢示部を示す使用状態の断面図、図６はパチンコ機の一部拡大正面図である。
【００１０】
図６のようにパチンコ機Ｐの正面には前枠１があり、その前枠１に遊技板２が取り付けられている。遊技板２にはガイドレール３で囲った円形の遊技領域２ｐが形成されていて、その遊技領域２ｐの中に障害釘４や入賞装置５などが設けられている。この遊技板２が本実施形態における被装飾部材であり、図１及び図４，図５に示したように遊技領域２ｐの外側上部に後述する装飾部品６用の取付孔７が複数個穿設されている。
【００１１】
前記装飾部品６は合成樹脂製であって、図３に示したように部品主体６１と、その部品主体６１上に重なる色違いのカバー部材６２との結合構造になっている。部品主体６１とカバー部材６２の装飾面Ｚは曲面を組み合わせた凸凹の立体構造になっており、その曲面の一部を迫り出させて遊技板面と平行な押圧スポット８が形成してある。押圧スポット８は後述するプレス機の押圧ピン１２と同程度かそれより若干大きい広さに形成され、装飾部品６のコーナー部分と端部及び中間部分にバランス良く配置されている。この押圧スポット８の裏側に取付用ボス９が配設されている。取付用ボス９は、断面十字状で軸部の中間から先端に向かって窄まる釘形態であって、前記遊技板２の取付孔７にきつく嵌合する太さに設定してある。
【００１２】
前記取付用ボス９は部品主体６１と一体である。一方、カバー部材６２に対応して取付用ボス９の前面に部品主体６１からジョイントピン９０を突設し、このジョイントピン９０をカバー部材６２の押圧スポット８の下に当て、もって押圧スポット８からジョイントピン９０を介して取付用ボス９に力が伝わるようにしてある。なお、前記ジョイントピン９０はカバー部材６２の裏側に一体に突設してもよい。
【００１３】
このように、部品主体６１に取付用ボス９を突設するとともにカバー部材６２に押圧スポット８を形成し、部品主体６１またはカバー部材６２にジョイントピン９０を突設して部品主体６１の取付用ボス９とカバー部材６２の押圧スポット８を連結するようにすれば、カバー部材６２の押圧スポット８を押圧してもカバー部材６２が割れるおそれがない。従って、部品主体６１の上にカバー部材６２を重ねた組合せ構造の装飾部品６であっても、カバー部材６２を変形させることなく全体に均等に力を加えることができる。
【００１４】
なお、装飾部品６には図３，図４に示したように基板１０上にランプ１１が取り付けられている。また、部品主体６１の裏側には、遊技板２側からランプ（図示せず）が差し込まれる。
【００１５】
次ぎに、前記装飾部品６を遊技板２に取り付ける方法について説明する。先ず、図１に示したように水平に寝かせた遊技板２に装飾部品６を載せる。このとき装飾部品６の取付用ボス９と遊技板２の取付孔７の位置を合わせる。この状態でプレス機の押圧ピン１２を下降させると、全ての押圧ピン１２が装飾部品６の押圧スポット８に当接する。そして、押圧ピン１２を押し下げると、押圧スポット８から力が伝わって、取付用ボス９が遊技板２の取付孔７にきつく差し込まれて嵌まり合う。この状態で装飾部品６は遊技板２から外れない。
【００１６】
以上本発明を実施の形態について説明したが、もちろん本発明は上記実施形態に限定されるものではない。例えば、実施形態では被装飾部材として遊技板２を例示したが、図６においてパチンコ機の前枠１を被装飾部材とし、上部の装飾ランプカバー１３や錠カバー１４などを装飾部品とすることもできる。また、取付用ボス９は装飾部品６と一体成形した構造である必要はなく、取付用ボスを金属製にして装飾部品６の成型時にインサートするようにしてもよい。また、装飾面Ｚは実施形態のように曲面で立体的に構成する場合に限るものではなく、斜面を使用したり、或いは曲面と斜面とを適宜組み合わせて構成するようにしてもよい。また、言うまでもなく遊技機はパチンコ機に限定されるものではない。
【００１７】
【発明の効果】
本発明の装飾部品は、部品主体の上にカバー部材を重ねた組合せ構造の装飾部品であっても、プレス機の押圧力がジョイントピンを介して取付用ボスに伝わるから、カバー部材を変形させることなく全体に均等に力を加えることができる。
また、請求項３に記載の装飾部品は、曲面または斜面を使って立体的に構成したカバー部材の装飾面に被装飾部材の被取付面と平行な押圧スポットを形成しその押圧スポットの裏側にジョイントピンを配設したため、プレス機の押圧ピンが押圧スポットに当たりジョイントピンを介してその力が１００％取付用ボスに伝達される。また、押圧ピンの全端面が押圧スポットに真っ直ぐ接触するから押圧ピンが逃げて滑るおそれもない。
