[0008]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The sphere detector 20 described above.
Member 6 in the winning device 11 as a device for attaching
0 is formed in a shape that can fit into any of the grooves 40, 41, 42, 43. That is, FIG.
As shown in 0, the lateral width dimension H1 of the locking member 60 is
Horizontal widths H2, H3 of the grooves 40, 41, 42, 43
It is smaller than H4 and H5 (see FIG. 9). Therefore, in the case of FIG. 7, when the sphere detector 20 is inserted from the front end face 21 side toward the insertion hole 16, the left corner 21L of the front end face 21 of the sphere detection unit 20 slopes while the arm piece 50 bends. Face 62
Slides, the facing surface 63 that faces the left side surface 23 in parallel slides while contacting the left side surface 23, and finally, as shown in FIG. 11, the locking surface 61 of the locking member 60. However, by engaging with the rear end surface 44 of the sphere detector 20, the sphere detector 20 can be accurately mounted at a predetermined position. In this case, the locking member 60 is the groove 40, 4
Although it fits into any of the grooves 1, 42, 43, if the insertion force is strengthened, the slope surface 62 will have the above-mentioned grooves 40, 41, 42, 4
Since the locking member 60 rides over the groove by sliding the upper edges 40t, 41t, 42t, 43t (see FIG. 7) of the groove rear walls 40a, 41a, 42a, 43a (see FIG. 9) of FIG. Can be locked to the rear end surface 44 of the ball detector 20. However, when the ball detector 20 is mounted, due to insufficient insertion force, as shown in FIG. 12, the locking member 60 causes the groove 43 (or the groove 41 or the groove 4).
2) The ball detector 20 remains in the state of being stuck in it.
However, there is a problem in that it may not be accurately attached to the predetermined position. In addition, the grooves 40, 41, 42, 43
Of the front end face 21 on the left side face 23 of the sphere detector 20
The groove 40 formed at the position closest to the side is rarely used as a locking groove, but the other grooves 41 and 42 are used.
The groove 43 is often used as a locking groove. Therefore, for example, when the locking member 60 is fitted into the groove 41, the groove 42, or the groove 43, the locking surface 6 of the locking member 60 can be obtained.
1 is the groove front wall 41b, 42 of the groove 41, the groove 42, or the groove 43.
b, 43b (see FIG. 9) so that the ball detector 20 is accurately mounted at a predetermined position, the locking member 60 will be locked by the groove 40 due to insufficient insertion force in the same manner as above.
There is a problem that the ball detector 20 may not be accurately attached to the predetermined position because the ball detector 20 is stuck in the state. That is, if the rear end surface 44 is also interpreted as a locking groove in a broad sense, the locking member 60 fits on the front end surface 21 side of the locking groove for accurately mounting the ball detector 20 at the predetermined position. If there is a groove to be inserted, there is a problem that erroneous mounting of the ball detector 20 due to insufficient insertion force cannot be avoided.

In view of the above problems, the present invention provides a ball detector mounting device capable of preventing erroneous mounting of the ball detector due to insufficient insertion force.

[0010]

A ball detector mounting device in a game machine according to the present invention is a ball detector mounting device in a game machine to which a ball detector having a ball detecting portion is mounted, When the sphere detector is attached from the front end face side of the detector, a locking member for holding the sphere detector at a predetermined position is provided, and the shape of the locking member is the side surface of the sphere detector. In the shape that does not engage with the groove on the front end face side formed at a position close to the front end face side in the groove on the rear end face side formed on the side face on the rear end face side of the ball detector with respect to the front end face side groove. It is characterized in that it has a locking shape. Thus, when it is required to use any groove on the rear end face side of the sphere detector as the locking groove, the locking member does not lock to the groove on the front end face side, so the sphere detector is mounted. It is possible to prevent erroneous mounting due to insufficient insertion force. Also, when the sphere detector is attached from the front end face side of the sphere detector,
The sphere detector is provided with a locking member for holding the sphere detector at a predetermined position, and the shape of the locking member is such that the sphere detector is not locked in the plurality of grooves formed on the side surface of the sphere detector. It is characterized in that it has a shape to be locked only on the rear end face. As a result, when the locking member is locked to the rear end surface of the sphere detector and the sphere detector is mounted at a predetermined position, the locking member does not lock in the groove, so that the sphere detector is mounted. It is possible to prevent erroneous mounting due to insufficient insertion force.

The groove is not locked to the groove on the side of the front end face 21 and is locked to the groove on the side of the rear end face 44 formed on the left side surface 23 on the side of the rear end face 44 of the sphere detector 20 with respect to the groove on the side of the front end face 21.

Specifically, the locking member 60A is shown in FIGS.

The locking member 60A is composed of a projection provided so as to project from the arm piece 50 in the direction of the left side surface 23 of the ball detector 20 to be mounted. The groove front walls 41b, 42b, 43b (see FIG. 9) of the grooves 42, 43 and the rear end surface 44 are parallel to each other.
b, 42b, 43b and locking surface 61 for locking the rear end surface 44
A and groove rear walls 41a, 42a, 4 of the grooves 41, 42, 43
The parallel surface 62A parallel to 3a and the left side surface 2 of the sphere detector 20.
3 and a parallel surface 63A parallel to each other. That is, it is composed of a quadrangular protrusion.

For example, when the sphere detector 20 is attached from the front end face 21 side through the insertion hole 16 and the sphere detector 20 is attached, the left side face 23 of the sphere detector 20 is closest to the rear end face 44 side. When the ball detector 20 is mounted at a predetermined position by locking the locking member 60A in the groove 43 (see FIG. 9) on the rear end surface 44 side, the groove 43 on the rear end surface 44 side Of the widths H2, H3, H4 of the grooves 40, 41, 42 on the front end face 21 side formed near the front end face 21 side, the width H5 of the groove 43 on the rear end face 44 side, and the locking member 60A. The relationship with the width dimension H1A
H2, H3, H4 <H1A <H5. This allows
Since the locking member 60A does not fit into the grooves 40, 41, 42 of the left side surface 23, erroneous mounting due to insufficient insertion force can be prevented, and the locking member 60A is locked in the groove 43 of the sphere detector 20 so that the ball can be held. The detector 20 can be accurately mounted at a predetermined position.

The groove 42 of the sphere detector 20 (see FIG. 9)
By locking the locking member 60A on the sphere detector 20,
Is mounted at a predetermined position, the lateral widths H2 and H3 of the grooves 40 and 41 on the front end face 21 side formed closer to the front end face 21 side than the groove 42 and the groove 40 on the front end face 21 side. , 41 on the rear end face 44 side of the rear end face 44
The relationship between the lateral width dimension H4 of the side groove 42 and the lateral width dimension H1A of the locking member 60A is H2, H3 <H1A <H4.
As a result, similar to the above, erroneous mounting due to insufficient insertion force can be prevented, and the locking member 60A can be locked in the groove 42 of the sphere detector 20 to accurately mount the sphere detector 20 at a predetermined position. .

The groove 41 of the sphere detector 20 (see FIG. 9)
By locking the locking member 60A to the ball detector 2
When 0 is mounted at a predetermined position, the lateral width dimension H2 of the groove 40 on the front end face 21 side formed closer to the front end face 21 side than the groove 41 and the rear end face of the groove 40 on the front end face 21 side. The relationship between the lateral width dimension H3 of the groove 41 on the rear end face 44 side formed on the 44 side and the lateral width dimension H1A of the locking member 60A is H2 <H1A <H3. As a result, like the above, erroneous mounting due to insufficient insertion force can be prevented, and the locking member 60
The ball detector 20 can be accurately mounted at a predetermined position by locking A in the groove 41 of the ball detector 20.

According to the first embodiment, the locking member 60A
Are groove rear walls 41a, 42a, 43 of the grooves 41, 42, 43.
Since the parallel surface 62A parallel to a is provided, even if the insertion force is excessively applied (too much force) in the work of mounting the ball detector 20, the locking member 60A fits in the desired locking groove. After that, the parallel surface 62A does not collide with the groove rear wall of the intended groove and the locking member 60A does not cross over the groove rear wall upper edge of the intended locking groove. Therefore, the rear end surface 4 of the sphere detector 20
When it is required to use any one of the grooves on the 4 side as a locking groove, erroneous mounting due to insufficient insertion force and excessive insertion force can be completely prevented, and the ball detector 20 can be accurately mounted at a predetermined position. become.

In the first embodiment, the locking member 60A is locked in the desired locking groove to detect a ball between the locking surface 61A and the inner front wall 17a of the main body 17. The device 20 is configured to be mounted in a clamped state (for example,
It is general that the arm piece 50 is mounted in a sandwiched state by adjusting the length of the arm piece 50, etc., but in the state where the inner front wall 17a and the front end surface 21 of the sphere detector 20 are separated from each other, The sphere detector 20 may be configured to be mounted at a predetermined position. In this case, the width H1 of the locking member 60A
A is set to a dimension corresponding to the lateral width dimension of the desired locking groove (that is, a dimension that fits tightly into the desired locking groove), and the locking member 60A is the desired locking groove. The ball detector 20 may be configured so as not to move in the front-rear direction after being fitted therein.

Embodiment 2. In the first embodiment, the case where the locking member 60A is locked in the groove provided on the left side surface 23 of the sphere detector 20 to mount the sphere detector 20 at the predetermined position has been described, but it is also described in the conventional example. As described above, the locking member 60A may be locked to the rear end surface 44 of the ball detector 20 to mount the ball detector 20 at a predetermined position. In this case, the locking member 60A has a locking surface 61A that locks on the rear end surface 44 of the ball detector 20, and the locking member 60A.
Of the plurality of grooves 40, 41, 42, 43 on the left side surface 23 of the sphere detector 20.
It is made larger than H3, H4, and H5 (see FIG. 9). That is,
The shape of the locking member 60A is such that it does not lock into the plurality of grooves 40, 41, 42, 43 formed on the left side surface 23 of the sphere detector 20, and only the rear end surface 44 of the sphere detector 20 is locked. The shape. In the second embodiment, when the rear end face 44 is also interpreted as a locking groove in a broad sense, the groove 40 on the front end face 21 side formed at a position closer to the front end face 21 side than the rear end face 44,
41, 42, 43 is not engaged with the shape and is engaged with the rear end surface 44 as a rear end surface side groove located behind the front end surface 21 side grooves 40, 41, 42, 43. The stop member 60A is configured. Second Embodiment
Then, when the ball detector 20 is mounted at a predetermined position by locking the locking surface 61A of the locking member 60A to the rear end surface 44 of the ball detector 20, as shown in FIG. As described above, the locking member 60A is provided with the grooves 40, 4 on the left side surface 23.
As shown in FIG. 3B, the engaging surface 61 </ b> A can be engaged with the rear end surface 44 of the ball detector 20 without being fitted into 1, 42, 43. Therefore, the locking member 60A is
All grooves 4 formed on the left side surface 23 of the sphere detector 20
Since it does not fit into 0, 41, 42, 43, when the locking member 60A is locked to the rear end surface 44 of the ball detector 20 and the ball detector 20 is mounted at a predetermined position, the insertion force is insufficient. The ball detector 20 can completely prevent incorrect mounting due to
Can be accurately attached to the predetermined position. In addition, in the case of the second embodiment, since the ball detector 20 is configured to be clamped between the locking surface 61A and the inner front wall 17a of the main body 17, an error due to excessive insertion force may occur. Wearing is impossible.

According to the first embodiment, the left side surface 23 has at least two grooves, and the sphere detector 20 having the lateral width dimension of the groove on the front end surface 21 side smaller than the lateral width dimension of the groove on the rear end surface 44 side is mounted. In this case, since the lateral width dimension H1A of the locking member 60A is made larger than the lateral width dimension of the groove on the front end face 21 side, the locking member 60 is fitted in any groove on the rear end face 44 side.
By locking A, it is possible to prevent erroneous mounting due to insufficient insertion force or excessive insertion force when it is required to mount the ball detector 20 at a predetermined position.

According to the second embodiment, when the sphere detector 20 having one or more grooves formed on its side surface is mounted,
Since the lateral width dimension H1A of the locking member 60A is made larger than the lateral width dimension of the groove, when the ball detector 20 is mounted at a predetermined position by locking the locking member on the rear end surface 44, it is caused by insufficient insertion force. It can prevent incorrect installation.

Embodiment 3. In the first and second embodiments, the relationship between the lateral width dimension H1A of the locking member 60A and the lateral width dimensions H2, H3, H4 of the grooves 40, 41, 42 has been focused on, but in the present third embodiment, the locking member 60A. Vertical width T1 and groove 4
Vertical dimension of 0, 41, 42, 43 (dimension in the thickness D direction)
Attention was paid to the relationship with T2, T3, T4, and T5. That is, the locking surface 61A of the locking member 60A is the rear end surface 4 of the ball detector 20.
In the case where the ball detector 20 is mounted at a predetermined position by being locked to the position 4 in FIG.
T5 <T1 and the lateral width H1 of the locking member 60A
When A> width dimension H3 of the groove 41, erroneous mounting due to insufficient insertion force can be prevented. That is, in this case, since the locking member 60A does not fit into the grooves 40, 41, 42, 43, it is possible to prevent erroneous mounting due to insufficient insertion force. Further, T2, T3, T4, T5 <T1 may be satisfied. Further, in the third embodiment, for example, when the ball detector 20 is mounted at a predetermined position by locking the locking member 60A in the groove 41 of the ball detector 20, the relationship of H1A> H3 is satisfied. By setting H1A <H3,
Erroneous mounting due to insufficient insertion force can be prevented, and the ball detector 20 can be accurately mounted at a predetermined position. Also, T2, T3, T
4, T5 <T1 and the mode of the second embodiment may be added. Also, T2, T3, T4, T5 <T1
If so, the groove 4 formed on the left side surface 23 of the sphere detector 20.
0, 41, 42, 43 vertical width dimensions T2, T3, T4, T
Whatever size 5 is, erroneous mounting due to insufficient insertion force can be prevented, and the ball detector 20 can be accurately mounted at a predetermined position.

Fourth Embodiment If the lateral width dimension H1A of the locking member 60A and the vertical width dimension T1 of the locking member 60A are configured as described above, the overall shape of the locking member 60A may be any shape. For example, the shape itself may be a shape like the conventional locking member 60. Rather, the conventional locking member 60 having the slope surface 62 and the locking member 6 having the curved surface 63B as shown in FIG.
0B allows the left corner 21L of the front end surface 21 of the sphere detector 20 to be slid and smoothly mounted via the slope surface 62 and the curved surface 63B. However, in the case of a shape such as the locking member 60 or the locking member 60B, if the insertion force is too strong (the insertion force is excessive), the locking member 60 or the locking member 60B will fit into the intended locking groove. After being inserted, the sloped surface 62 or the curved surface 63B may get over the upper edge of the groove rear wall of the intended locking groove. Therefore, when the engaging member 60 or the engaging member 60B is formed into a shape, when it is required to use any groove on the rear end face 44 side of the ball detector 20 as an engaging groove, the insertion force is excessive. Although it cannot be said that erroneous mounting can be completely prevented, erroneous mounting due to insufficient insertion force can be completely prevented, and the intended object effect of the present invention that the sphere detector 20 can be accurately mounted at a predetermined position can be achieved. . The ball detector 20 is mounted in a sandwiched state between the locking surfaces 61 and 61A and the inner front wall 17a of the main body 17 by locking the locking members 60 and 60B in the desired locking grooves. With this configuration (for example, when the arm 50 is mounted in a sandwiched state by adjusting the length, etc.), the problem of erroneous mounting due to excessive insertion force is eliminated.

Embodiment 5. The winning device 11A as a mounting device as shown in FIG. 1 is often a resin molded product integrally molded with a molding die, and the locking member 60 is used.
A is, for example, a winning device 11 attached to the game board 10.
It is formed integrally with the base 15 of A and is provided on the tip side of the arm piece 50 that rises vertically from the back surface 15a of the base 15. When the resin molded product is released from the mold, the push rod may be brought into contact with the tip of the locking member to release the product.
Therefore, the flat surface 64 on the tip side of the locking members 60A and 60B
It is preferable to increase the area of A, that is, the area of the flat surface 64A parallel to the back surface 15a of the base 15. In the conventional locking member 60, since the slope surface 62 is formed, the area of the flat surface 64 on the tip side of the locking member 60 is small. Therefore, even if the stick is abutted against the flat surface 64, it is easily disengaged, and it is difficult to use the flat surface 64 as a contact surface for the stick. On the other hand, in the present embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 2 and 5, the flat surface 6 on the tip side of the locking members 60A and 60B is used.
4A of the flat surface 6 on the tip side of the conventional locking member 60
Since it is larger than the area of No. 4, it is easy to use this flat surface 64A as the contact surface of the thrust bar. In particular, the locking member 6
In the case of 0A, the flat surface 6 having a large area including the parallel surface 62A
Since 4A is configured, the flat surface 64A can be particularly easily used as the contact surface of the thrust rod.

Sixth Embodiment Further, if the color of the locking member of the present invention described in each of the above-described embodiments is set to a color different from the color of the sphere detector 20, whether the sphere detector 20 can be correctly attached at a predetermined position or not can be determined. It becomes easier to verify. That is, from the back side of the game board 10, it can be verified at a glance whether or not the ball detector 20 can be correctly mounted at a predetermined position, and the periphery of the winning device 11A is covered with another substrate or the like. Even in such cases, you can verify it from the side.

In the above description, the winning device 11A is described as an example of the attaching device, but the present invention can be applied to an attaching device for the outlet 70 and the like.

[0026]

According to the mounting device of the present invention, the ball detector is shaped such that it does not engage with the groove on the front end face side formed on the side surface of the sphere detector near the front end face side, and the ball on the side of the front end face side. Since the locking member configured to be locked in the groove on the rear end surface side formed on the side surface on the rear end surface side of the detector is provided, erroneous mounting of the ball detector due to insufficient insertion force can be prevented. The locking member has a surface parallel to the back surface of the base on the tip side,
Since the area of the parallel surfaces is increased, when releasing the device for attaching the resin molded product from the die, the parallel surface of the abutment rod can be removed when the abutment rod is abutted against the tip of the locking member. It becomes easy to use as a contact surface. Further, since the color of the locking member is different from the color of the sphere detector, it is possible to obtain a mounting device which makes it easy to verify whether or not the sphere detector can be correctly mounted at a predetermined position.
