Such first and second hinge mechanisms 23B, 2
In order to attach the opening / closing panel 3 provided with 4B to the front frame 6, first, with the opening / closing panel 3 slightly tilted, the fixed shaft member 33 on the front frame 6 side is first inserted into the fixed bearing hole 31 of the first hinge mechanism 23B. After inserting, the operating portion 55 of the second hinge mechanism 24B is raised by a finger to retract the tip of the movable shaft member 40, and the tip is aligned with the movable bearing hole 41 on the front frame 6 side. In this state, the movable shaft member 40 is lowered and the tip is inserted into the movable side bearing hole 41.

When the opening / closing panel 3 is attached to the front frame 6 in this manner, the opening / closing panel 3 is rotatable about the fixed shaft member 33 of the first hinge mechanism 23B and the movable shaft member 40 of the second hinge mechanism 24B. Becomes Then, when the free end side of the opening / closing panel 3 is pressed toward the front side, the hook of the locking mechanism is engaged with the locking receiving portion 28 and locked in the closed state.

According to the present invention, when the front opening / closing member such as the opening / closing panel 3 is closed, the movable shaft member 40 comes into contact with the lateral projection of the movable shaft member 40 when the movable shaft member 40 moves in the direction of coming out of the movable side bearing hole 41. When the movable shaft member 40 is protruded at a position to prevent the movable shaft member 40 from coming off and the front opening / closing member is opened, the lateral protrusion rotates together with the front opening / closing member to allow movement of the movable shaft member 40 in the removal direction. Movable range regulating member 6 for movable shaft member
1 is provided.

In this embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, the movable shaft member 4 stopped in the lowered state (inserted state) by cutting and raising a part of the lower portion of the mounting base 15.
The movable range restricting member 61 for the movable shaft member is provided slightly above the operation portion 55 of 0 (the range of the length shorter than the stroke for the tip of the movable shaft member 40 to come out of the movable side bearing hole 41). .

Therefore, when the open / close panel 3 is closed, the movable range member movable range regulating member 61 is positioned above the operation portion 55, and the movable shaft member 40 is forcibly prevented from rising. Therefore, even if an attempt is made to insert a foreign material such as a plastic plate from the gap between the opening 5 of the front frame 6 and the opening / closing panel 3 to raise the movable shaft member 40 and remove it from the movable shaft side bearing hole 41, The member 40 is prevented from rising by the movable range member movable range restricting member 61, and it is possible to reliably prevent an unauthorized act in which the shaft-attaching side of the opening / closing panel 3 is removed.

When it is necessary to remove the opening / closing panel 3 for maintenance of the ball supply device or the ball launching device, first, the glass frame 2 is opened, and then the opening / closing panel 3 is unlocked to enlarge the opening / closing panel 3. Open to open. When the open / close panel 3 is opened, the movable shaft member 40 rotates together with the open / close panel 3 so that the operation portion 55 deviates from the restriction of the movable shaft member movable range restriction member 61 and is allowed to move. That is, since it can move up and down freely, as before,
An operator can lift the operation portion 55 with a finger and pull out the tip of the movable shaft member 40 from the movable bearing hole 41 to remove it. If the movable shaft member 40 is disengaged from the movable side bearing hole 41, the lower part of the opening / closing panel 3 is pulled down to the front side, so that the movable shaft member 40 moves down from the fixed shaft member 33 on the front frame 6 side to the fixed bearing hole 31 of the shaft support member 30. The open / close panel 3 can be removed from the front frame 6 by this.

Further, the foreign matter insertion preventing wall portion 34 provided as a foreign matter intrusion preventing member in a state of protruding from the front frame 6 side is inside (center side) of the movable shaft member movable range regulating member 61, in other words, the front surface. Since it is provided on the opening 5 side of the frame 6, if a foreign substance is inserted into the overlapping portion of the front frame 6 and the open / close panel 3 with the open / close panel 3 closed,
It is possible to prevent fraud in advance. That is, the movable shaft member 4
No. 0 is arranged at a position where it may be illegally operated by an unauthorized person, but since the movable shaft member 40 does not operate due to the presence of the movable range member movable range regulating member 61, foreign matter should be caught. Even if it is inserted, it is possible to prevent the opening / closing panel 3 from being removed, and since the foreign matter entry prevention wall portion 34 is protruding, the foreign matter entry prevention wall portion 34 makes it illegal to inward. It is possible to prevent cheating by an actor. Therefore, it is possible to reliably prevent illegal acts due to foreign matter entering the overlapping portion of the front frame 6 and the opening / closing panel 3.

Furthermore, since the foreign matter insertion preventing wall portion 34 is provided so as to be adjacent to the crank-shaped bent portion of the shaft support member 30, the operation portion 55 of the movable shaft member 40 is provided.
Can be avoided and a large size can be formed. Therefore,
The entire longitudinal direction of the opening / closing panel 3 can be protected by the insertion preventing wall portion 34.

The foreign matter insertion preventing wall portion 34 may be provided outside the movable shaft member 40, for example. However, if the foreign matter insertion preventing wall portion 34 is provided close to the outside of the opening / closing panel 3, the opening / closing panel 3 is opened when the opening / closing panel 3 is opened. 3 and the foreign matter insertion prevention wall portion 34 interfere with each other, which hinders the opening operation.
The foreign matter insertion preventing wall portion 34 is slightly separated so that it can be opened.
By providing the gap, a gap is formed between the side of the open / close panel 3 and the function of preventing fraud by inserting a foreign object is not satisfied. Further, it is conceivable to provide the foreign matter insertion prevention wall portion 34 on the inner side close to the movable shaft member 40, but the surface of the shaft support member 30 exists, and the projection length of the foreign matter insertion prevention wall portion 34 reaches that surface. Will be limited to
The function of preventing foreign matter from entering is satisfied to some extent, but is incomplete.
For this reason, in the present embodiment, as described above, the foreign matter insertion prevention wall portion 34 is provided so as to be adjacent to the bent portion of the crank-shaped shaft support member 30.

Next, the first hinge mechanism 23A for attaching the lower part of one side of the glass frame 2 to the front frame 6 side will be described.
As shown in FIG. 2, the first hinge mechanism 23A has a shaft support member 30 'which is fixed to a lower part of one side of the back surface of the frame body 20 of the glass frame 2 with a screw, and a fixed bearing is provided below the shaft support member 30'. A hole 31 'is formed, and the fixed shaft member 33 provided on the front frame 6 side is configured to fit in the fixed bearing hole 31'.

The second hinge mechanism 24A for mounting the upper part of one side of the glass frame 2 on the front frame 6 side is only the reverse of the vertical direction of the movable shaft member. This is similar to the second hinge mechanism 24B. That is,

The operating portion 55a is provided between the shaft support member 35 and the frame body 20 so that the operating portion 55a can move up and down, but the operation portion 55a abuts the shaft support member 30a or the frame body 20, and the glass frame. The movable shaft member 40a is accommodated in a state of co-rotating with 2, and a stopper 60a protruding from the frame body 20 is provided below the movable shaft member 40a. Then, the movable range regulating member 61a for movable shaft member is provided on the front frame 6 side so as to be located immediately below the operating portion 55a in a state where the glass frame 2 is closed.
The movable range regulating member 61a for the movable shaft member is formed by cutting and raising a part of the mounting base 15 as in the case of the second hinge mechanism 24B for the opening / closing panel 3. As shown in FIG. 10, a wall portion 64 for preventing the wiring 63 from being caught is provided upright on the glass support frame 21 side of the shaft support member 35.

Therefore, the glass frame 2 can be opened and closed centering around the fixed shaft member 33 and the movable shaft member 40a of the first and second hinge mechanisms 23A and 24A. Then, when the free end side is pressed against the front frame 6, the hook of the locking mechanism for the glass frame can engage with the lock receiving portion 25 provided on the back surface of the glass frame 2 for locking. In this closed state, since the movable range member for movable shaft member 61a prevents the movable shaft member 40a from descending, a slender plastic plate or the like is inserted from the gap between the opening 5 of the front frame 6 and the glass frame 2. Even if an attempt is made to lower the movable shaft member 40a by inserting the foreign matter, it cannot be lowered. Therefore, fraudulent acts from this part can be effectively prevented. In the state where the glass frame 2 is opened, the operation portion 55a of the movable shaft member 40a is out of the regulation range of the movable range member movable range regulation member 61a and is allowed to move.
By operating a, the movable shaft member 40a can be lowered and the tip can be pulled out from the movable bearing hole 41a. Therefore,
The operator can remove the glass frame 2 as needed.
