Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a pachinko gaming machine, and more particularly, to a pachinko gaming machine which suppresses noise transmitted to a player and makes various sound effects clear.

[0001]

2. Description of the Related Art In the front frame of a general pachinko machine,
A front frame main body to which a game board is attached and a glass door to which a plurality of glass plates are attached are provided. The game board has a substantially square wooden plywood as a game board surface, and a metal guide rail and a light-emitting LED bent and formed in a substantially circular shape on the board surface.
A board surface partitioning member such as a decorative lamp member having a built-in is provided, and a game area is formed by partitioning these members. Furthermore, in the game area of the game board, brass obstacle nails, decorative windmills with resin rotating bodies or ordinary windmills made of metal, symbol display devices with resin decorative members formed on the outer periphery, and winning routes changed Game parts such as a variable winning device made of resin having a movable member are arranged.

However, in this type of pachinko machine,
Friction noise generated when the game ball emitted by the launch mechanism travels on the guide rail, collision sound generated when the falling game ball collides with the guide rail, the game ball is sent to the game area, the board surface There is a drawback that a large amount of noise is generated due to a collision sound or the like generated by collision with the glass plate while rolling on the top.

In order to eliminate the drawbacks caused by such noise, a conventional pachinko game machine is disclosed in Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 7-96063.
As described in Japanese Patent Publication, a guide rail for guiding a game ball to be launched has a sandwich structure in which a synthetic resin is sandwiched between two damping steel plates, and vibration due to a collision with the game ball is applied to the synthetic resin. It has been proposed to reduce the noise by attenuating the noise.

[0004]

However, in a normal pachinko game machine, a game ball and a guide such as a collision between a falling game ball and a game nail, a contact between a falling game ball and various game parts, an operation of a winning device, etc. In addition to frictional noise and collision noise generated between the rails, various noises are generated as noise. Therefore, like the guide rail structure described in the above-mentioned conventional publication, it is not possible to reduce the noise as described above only by absorbing the noise generated between the game ball and the guide rail. Therefore, in the above conventional pachinko gaming machine,
There is a problem that a large amount of noise is still transmitted to the player, and it becomes difficult to transmit the effect sound and the notification sound generated or reported according to various game states to the player.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In order to solve the above problems, it is an object of the present invention to provide a pachinko gaming machine in which noise generated in the game area is less likely to leak to the outside and the player can hear various sound effects.

[0006]

According to the present invention, a game board having a game area in which game balls are driven is formed on a board surface, and a game machine main body to which the game board is attached is pivotally supported so as to be openable and closable to play a game. A pachinko gaming machine having a glass door that shields the area in a see-through manner, and a gaming board surface provided with gaming components arranged in the gaming area and a board surface partitioning member partitioning the gaming area. A damping elastic piece for absorbing the vibration of the glass plate is densely interposed between the door and the glass plate (configuration of claim 1). Here, the densely interposing the vibration-damping elastic piece between the game board surface and the inner surface of the glass plate means that only the vibration-damping elastic piece or another member is coupled, and the vibration-damping elastic piece is provided between the game board surface and the glass plate inner surface. Means that they are passed over tightly.

In such a structure, when the glass door is closed, a space (game space) in which a game ball can flow is formed between the game area of the game board and the glass plate. Then, the game ball is driven into the game space and collides with the guide rail or the glass plate or causes friction. However, the collision sound and the fricative sound are propagated to the outside by the vibration through the play of the glass plate, but the vibration suppressing elastic piece is elastically contacted or joined to the glass plate and the glass plate is elastically held. Therefore, the vibration is suppressed, and the collision sound and the vibration sound transmitted through the glass plate are prevented from being propagated to the outside.

Here, the vibration-damping elastic pieces may be provided so as to surround the game area (structure of claim 2). In this case, the game area is hermetically sealed to the outside. Is improved and the space becomes acoustically closed. In other words, the vibration-damping elastic piece has a meaning as a sound insulation member that confines the sound generated in the game area. Thus, in combination with the vibration-preventing action of the glass plate, the sound generated in the game area is less likely to leak to the outside. That is, such a configuration pays attention to the fact that most of the noise heard by the player occurs in the game area,
Not only does the volume of noise be lowered, but the noise generated in the game area is made less likely to leak to the outside, so that the noise transmitted to the player is suppressed and various sound effects and notification sounds can be clearly transmitted to the player. It will be possible.

Here, the vibration-damping elastic piece may be directly fixed to the game board surface and elastically contact with the inner surface of the glass plate (structure of claim 3).

Further, the vibration-damping elastic piece may be fixed to the front edge of the board surface partitioning member and elastically contact with the inner surface of the glass plate (structure of claim 4). In this case, the vibration-damping elastic piece may be fixed to the board surface partitioning member including at least one of the guide rail and the decorative lamp cover member (configuration of claim 5).

Further, the vibration-damping elastic piece may be fixed to the inner surface of the glass plate (structure of claim 6). In this case, when the glass door is closed, the inner end of the vibration-damping elastic piece comes into contact with at least one of the game board surface and the board surface partitioning member.

The vibration-damping elastic piece may be fixed to the front edge of the game component arranged in the game area (structure of claim 7). As the game parts, obstacle nails, various prize winning devices, passage gates, etc. have been proposed, which are fixed to the respective front edges, and when the glass door is closed, the front end of the vibration-damping elastic piece makes elastic contact with the inner surface of the glass plate. It will be.

Here, the return rubber member that bounces the game ball shot along the guide rail back to the game area is set so that its front edge is in contact with the inner surface of the glass plate with the glass door closed. By setting the above, it is possible to configure the vibration-damping elastic piece by the return rubber member (configuration of claim 8).

4 intervenes. As a result, the gap between the guide rail 76 and the inner glass plate 82 that partition the game area 75 is closed by the vibration-damping elastic piece 74, making it difficult for noise generated in the game space 72 to leak to the outside, and at the same time producing sound effects and notification sounds. Is easier to reach the player. Therefore, even if the vibration-damping elastic piece is formed on the glass door side other than the game board, the present invention can achieve the same operation and effect as the first embodiment.

By the way, in a general pachinko gaming machine,
In order to meet the demand for diversification of games, the games are exchanged for new games in a certain cycle. Such exchange is not performed for all parts of the pachinko gaming machine for economic reasons, and some of the components are replaced. On the other hand, the pachinko game machine does not change the basic device configuration and game procedure even if the game contents (in other words, the model) are different, and the mechanical parts such as the launch device and the prize ball payout device are exchanged. There are few things. Therefore, in the exchange of the pachinko gaming machine, generally, the game board and the control device constituted by the electronic control system components for executing the game procedure are exchanged. On the contrary,
Since the pachinko gaming machine 70 of the present embodiment is provided with the vibration-damping elastic piece 74 on the glass door 73 that cannot be replaced by the above-described replacement, not on the game board side as in the first to third embodiments. Even when the model exchange as described above is performed, the vibration-damping elastic piece 74 can be commonly used.

Further, in the present embodiment, as in the first embodiment, in the structure using the game board in which the game area is partitioned by the board surface partitioning member composed of the guide rails,
Along the guide rail, the vibration-damping elastic piece 7 is attached to the glass door 73.
4 is provided so that the game area is acoustically almost shut off, but not limited to this, a board surface including guide rails, return rubber members, and decorative lamp members as in the second embodiment. In the configuration using the game board configured to divide the game area by the partition member, the vibration suppressing elastic piece 74 is attached to the glass door 73 along the arrangement position of the guide rail, the return rubber member and the decorative lamp member. It is also possible to provide the vibration damping elastic piece with the guide rail, the return member, and the decorative lamp member, thereby acoustically blocking the game area.

In the first to fourth embodiments, an example is shown in which the vibration-damping elastic piece is provided on either the game board side such as the game board surface or the board surface partitioning member or the glass door side such as the inner glass plate. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and may be provided on both the game board side and the glass door side.

Further, in the present invention, the game component damping elastic piece can be fixedly provided to the game component arranged in the game area of the game board. This vibration-damping elastic piece for game parts, like the vibration-damping elastic piece provided in the return rubber member or the decorative lamp cover member of the second embodiment, has a thickness that makes close contact with the inner glass plate when the glass door is closed. It is advisable to use a plate-shaped member set to the dimensions. As a result, it is possible to suppress the noise propagated through the vibration of the glass plate caused by the play between the inner glass plate and the housing groove of the glass frame.

Further, this structure can be provided in combination with the first to fourth embodiments. As a result, the noise generated in the game area is confined and the vibration of the inner glass plate is suppressed, so that the noise can be further reduced.

[0056]

As described above, according to the present invention, the damping elastic piece for absorbing the vibration of the glass plate is densely interposed between the game board and the glass plate of the glass door (claim 1). , Collision sound and friction sound generated when a game ball is driven into the game space,
Since the vibrating elastic piece holds the glass plate elastically to suppress its vibration, the collision sound and the vibration sound transmitted through the glass plate are suppressed.

When the vibration-damping elastic pieces are provided so as to surround the game area (claim 2), the game area is improved in hermeticity with respect to the outside and acoustically closed. Since it becomes a closed space, the sound generated in the game area is unlikely to leak to the outside in combination with the vibration-preventing action of the glass plate. Thus, it is possible to make various effect sounds and notification sounds clear.
