Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a pachinko gaming machine provided with a gaming door having transparent plates inside and outside of a glass plate, a transparent resin plate, etc., and a gaming machine using gaming balls such as a pachi slot. is there.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art A game machine main body having a game board in which a game area where a game ball rolls is defined on a board surface, and an outer transparent plate and an inner transparent plate are held facing each other in a window opening of a door frame. Done,
Various types of gaming machines, such as pachinko gaming machines, have been proposed, which are provided in the gaming machine main body and include a gaming door that covers the gaming board with both transparent plates. In this way, the game area is covered by the double structure of the outer transparent plate and the inner transparent plate in order to prevent the game ball from being illegally operated in the game area by the magnet or the like. .

[0003]

By the way, there is a case where a fraudulent act is performed by inserting a piano wire through a gap between the door frame of the game door and the upper plate panel. To prevent this,
A long metal piece is fixed to the upper plate panel and the gap is covered with the metal piece. However, in the conventional configuration, since the inner and outer transparent plates have the same shape, the lower surface of the door frame is substantially uniform in the front and rear, and the height of the metal piece cannot be made sufficient. For this reason, the current situation is that it is not possible to sufficiently prevent the intrusion of the piano wire, and it is not possible to cut off the misconduct.

An object of the present invention is to provide a structure capable of eliminating fraudulent acts as much as possible.

[0005]

According to the present invention, there is provided a gaming machine main body having a gaming board in which a gaming area in which gaming balls roll is defined on a board surface, an outer transparent plate and an inner transparent plate, and a door frame. In a gaming machine, which is held opposite to the window opening of the gaming machine, is pivotally provided in the gaming machine body, and has a gaming door that covers the gaming board with both transparent plates, the outer transparent plate is provided at the lower edge of the door frame of the gaming door. The outer holding edge that defines the lower edge position of the inner transparent plate and the inner holding edge that defines the lower edge position of the inner transparent plate are formed by making a drop that raises the position of the inner holding edge, and The rear edge of the edge is formed with a rising wall edge for preventing intrusion that substantially contacts the inner holding edge (claim 1).

In this structure, the position of the inner holding edge is higher than that of the outer holding edge. Therefore, an intrusion-preventing rising wall edge that substantially contacts the inner holding edge is formed at the rear portion of the upper edge of the upper plate panel. As a result, when the piano wire is inserted through the gap between the upper plate panel and the lower edge of the door frame with the game door closed, the piano wire comes into contact with the edge wall of the intrusion prevention wall to prevent intrusion.

Here, each of the outer transparent plate and the inner transparent plate has a rectangular plate shape, and the inner transparent plate has a dimension shorter than the vertical dimension of the outer transparent plate. The outer holding edge that defines the lower edge position of the outer transparent plate and the inner holding edge that defines the lower edge position of the inner transparent plate, with the edges positioned at substantially the same height, have different vertical dimensions of the inner and outer transparent plates. It is possible to produce a head almost equal to (Claim 2).

In this structure, since the inner and outer transparent plates have different vertical and horizontal dimensions, there is no fear that they will be attached to the door frame in a mutually different manner. That is, at the time of factory shipment, the transparent plate is not installed on the door frame to prevent damage during transportation to the installed game shop, and the game machine is installed on the island facility of the game shop. A transparent plate will be equipped at the time of being done. By the way, the transparent plate may be subjected to various surface treatments and processes. For example, the surface of the outer transparent plate is
Since it is exposed to the player side, if the player touches the transparent plate, stains such as hand marks will be attached, and tobacco tar and dust will also be attached to the surface part, so antibacterial treatment should be applied There is also. However, since both the outer transparent plate and the inner transparent plate have the same shape, it is difficult to determine which is the outer side and which is the inner side. For this reason, the transparent plates inside and outside may be mixed up, and if you insert the outer transparent plate that has been subjected to antibacterial treatment inside, the marks touched by the player, cigarette tar, dust, etc. However, there is a problem in that it takes a longer time than the cleaning work when the antibacterial treatment is applied to the surface of the work. Since it is difficult to confirm the surface treatment layer, such a misplacement may be left as it is, and it will be confirmed for the first time by comparing the stain with another stand. However, as described above, the inner and outer transparent plates are not likely to be mounted differently from each other due to vertical and horizontal dimensional differences.Therefore, due to the inner and outer transparent plates being misplaced, the surface treatment on the outer transparent plate is invalid. It does not cause any problems.

Further, the outer transparent plate and the inner transparent plate are rectangular plates, respectively, and the vertical dimensions of the inner transparent plate and the outer transparent plate are substantially the same, and the upper edges of the outer transparent plate and the inner transparent plate are the same. Are positioned so that the outer transparent plate is low, and the outer holding edge that defines the lower edge position of the outer transparent plate and the inner holding edge that defines the lower edge position of the inner transparent plate are placed above and below the inner and outer transparent plates. It is also possible to create a head almost equal to the difference in position (claim 3).
In such a configuration, since the transparent plates having the same shape are applied inside and outside, the conventional transparent plate can be used as it is.
