Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to a pachinko gaming machine having a game board attached from the front of a frame.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In a pachinko gaming machine of a type in which a game board is attached from the front of a frame, an engaging portion is provided on the frame and an engaged portion for engaging the engaging portion is provided on the game board. It is provided. Then, the pachinko gaming machine attaches the game board to the frame body by engaging the engaging portion with the engaged portion, and an opening / closing door having a transparent window from the front side of the game board. It will be arranged.

[0003]

However, the engaging portion of the frame body that engages with the engaged portion of the game board projects to the front side of the game board. Therefore, for example, when performing various maintenance by opening the opening / closing door with respect to the game board, an object is erroneously interfered with by the protruding engaging portion to engage the engaging portion with the engaged portion. There is a risk that the connection will come off or the engagement part will be damaged. Further, even after the game board is attached to the frame body and the opening / closing door is closed from the front side of the game board, the engaging portion can be seen through the transparent window, which may impair the design.

The present invention has been made in view of such conventional problems, and it is an object of the present invention to provide a pachinko gaming machine which protects an engaging portion for engaging a game board and is excellent in design. .

[0005]

According to the present invention, in a pachinko game machine having a game board attached from the front of a frame body, the game board has an engaged portion to be engaged with an engaging portion provided on the frame body. And a protective cover that covers the engaged portion and the engaging portion engaged with the engaged portion from the surface,
In the pachinko gaming machine, the protective cover is provided so as to be openable and closable with a space in which the engaging portion can be arranged between the engaged portion and the engaged portion (claim 1).

The game board of the present invention has the mounting portion and the protective cover. The protective cover has a space in which the engaging portion can be arranged between the protective cover and the engaged portion. Therefore, when the engaging portion of the frame body is engaged with the engaged portion provided in the mounting portion and the game board is attached to the frame body, the engaging portion is arranged in the space. be able to. The protective cover can cover the engaged portion and the engaging portion engaged with the engaged portion from the front side.

Therefore, after the game board is mounted on the frame body, the engaging portion can be prevented from projecting to the surface side of the mounting portion and the game board. Therefore, due to the protective cover, for example, at the time of various kinds of maintenance or the like, another member accidentally interferes with the engaging portion to disengage the engaging portion from the engaged portion, or It can be protected to prevent damage.

Further, as described above, since the mounting portion and the engaging portion projecting to the surface side of the game board are covered by the protective cover, they cannot be seen from the outside. Therefore, the pachinko gaming machine of the present invention is also excellent in design.
Further, the protective cover is provided on the game board so as to be openable and closable. Therefore, by opening and closing the protective cover to engage and disengage the engaging portion and the engaged portion, the game board can be attached to and detached from the frame body many times. be able to.

[0009]

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION The preferred embodiments of the present invention described above will be described. It is preferable that the protective cover can be opened and closed by rotating (claim 2). In this case, it is possible to easily obtain a structure in which the protective cover is opened and closed while being attached to the game board. And
When the protective cover is opened and closed, it can be left attached to the game board, so that the game board can be easily attached to and detached from the frame.

Further, it is preferable that the protective cover is attached to the attaching portion (claim 3). In this case, for example, the protective cover can be attached to the attachment portion in advance, and the attachment portion can be attached to the game board at the same time as the attachment portion is attached to the game board. Therefore, for example, after the mounting portion and the protective cover formed of synthetic resin are integrated, this can be mounted on the game board formed using the veneer plate, and this mounting is easy.

Further, the game board may be provided with a rail ornament arranged outside the game area of the game board, and the mounting portion and the protective cover may be attached to the rail ornament (claim 4). In this case, the mounting portion and the protective cover can be attached to the rail decoration in advance, and the rail decoration can be attached to the game board and the game board at the same time. Therefore, for example, the mounting portion formed of synthetic resin, the protective cover, and the rail decoration can be integrated and then mounted on a game board formed using a veneer plate, and this mounting is easy.

Further, it is preferable to provide a sticking surface for sticking a certificate stamp on the surface of the protective cover (claim 5). In this case, the protective cover can also serve as a certificate board for attaching the certificate.

Further, it is preferable that the rail decoration is provided with a grounding collector terminal made of an elastically deformable conductive member that comes into contact with a guide rail of the game board (claim 6). In this case, the guide rail can be grounded by using the rail decoration. for that reason,
This guide rail does not have to be grounded directly from the game board, and the structure of the game board can be simplified.
