Description

  The present invention relates to a game board provided in a ball game machine such as a pachinko game machine.

  In general, a game board of a ball game machine is configured to include a base material, a decorative sheet, a game nail, a windmill, a launch rail, a center accessory, a start port, a gate, a prize winning port, an out port, and the like. Usually, in the manufacturing process of such a game board, as shown in FIG. 2, a process of sticking a decorative sheet on the surface of a base material (FIG. 2A), on a decorative sheet using a gauge press A step of forming a plurality of pilot holes (FIG. 2B), a step of placing a game nail at these pilot hole positions (FIG. 2C), and the like.

  The decorative sheet is formed of a celluloid sheet or a resin-coated paper sheet, and a pattern designed for each model is printed on almost the entire area. As a method for attaching the decorative sheet, in addition to adhesion, heat fusion or the like can be used (see, for example, Patent Document 1).

A gauge press forms a plurality of prepared holes on a decorative sheet by pressing a gauge plate having a plurality of gauge pins protruding thereon against the surface of a substrate. Since the formation position of the pilot hole is different for each model, a dedicated gauge plate is prepared for each model, and the gauge plate is replaced according to the model to be manufactured (see, for example, Patent Document 2).
The game nail can be placed using a known nailing machine.
Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 10-99488 JP 2001-46609 A

  By the way, the game board described above is treated as a defective product when the position error of the decorative sheet relative to the base material, the position error of the pilot hole relative to the base material or the decorative sheet, the position error of the game nail relative to the base hole, and the like are large. Therefore, when manufacturing a game board, it is required to strictly check the position error in order to prevent shipment of defective products.

  However, conventionally, the formation position of the pilot hole and the placement position of the game nail are compared with the naked eye and it is determined whether or not the amount of deviation is within an allowable error range. There was a possibility of overlooking. In addition, since the position confirmation of the decorative sheet is a separate work, there are problems that the number of confirmation items increases and the confirmation work is troublesome.

The game board of the present invention created for the purpose of solving these problems in view of the above situation uses a process of sticking a decorative sheet printed with a pattern on the surface of a base material, and a gauge press. A game board manufactured through a process of forming a plurality of pilot holes from above the decorative sheet and a process of placing game nails at the positions of the pilot holes, A plurality of marks indicating the positions where the pilot holes are formed are printed in advance. In this way, the position error of the pilot hole relative to the base material or the decorative sheet and the position error of the game nail relative to the pilot hole can be easily confirmed based on the mark printed on the decorative sheet. Is not only simplified, but it is possible to prevent oversight of defective products. Moreover, since the positional error of the decorative sheet with respect to the base material can be confirmed based on the positional deviation of the pilot hole with respect to the mark, there is an advantage that defective products can be found at an early stage before the game nail is driven.
Moreover, the said some mark is printed at the diagonal position of the prepared hole formation area in the said decorative sheet at least. In this way, the error can be confirmed at the diagonal position where the position error appears prominently, so that not only the confirmation work becomes easier, but also the position error can be determined with high accuracy.
The mark includes a first mark area indicating an appropriate formation position of the pilot hole and a second mark area indicating an allowable error range of the pilot hole. In this way, it is possible to clearly determine whether or not the position error is within an allowable range, so that not only the error check becomes easier, but also the inconvenience that the check result varies depending on the operator. Can also be resolved.
Further, the first mark area and the second mark area are partitioned by concentric circles, and are provided with a color or a pattern different from that outside the mark area. Since the second mark area is clearly distinguished from the other areas, it becomes easier to check the error with the naked eye, and it is possible to reliably prevent the defective product from being overlooked.

  According to the present invention as described above, it is possible to easily confirm the position error of the lower hole with respect to the base material or the decorative sheet and the position error of the game nail with respect to the lower hole with reference to the mark printed on the decorative sheet. . This simplifies the operation of checking the position error and can prevent oversight of defective products. In addition, since the position error of the decorative sheet with respect to the base material can be confirmed based on the positional deviation of the pilot hole with respect to the mark, there is an advantage that a defective product can be found before the game nail is driven.

  Next, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

[Game board]
In FIG. 1, 1 is a game board of a pachinko machine, and the game board 1 includes a base material 2, a decorative sheet 3, a game nail 4, a windmill 5, a launch rail 6, a center accessory 7, a start port 8, A gate 9, a special winning opening 10, an out opening 11 and the like are provided.

  As shown in FIG. 2, in the manufacturing process of the game board 1, a process of attaching the decorative sheet 3 to the surface of the base material 2 (FIG. 2A), using a gauge press, on the decorative sheet 3 A step of forming a plurality of pilot holes 12 (FIG. 2B), a step of placing the game nail 4 at these pilot hole positions (FIG. 2C), and the like are included.

  The base material 2 is formed of veneer plywood or the like, and mounting holes such as a center accessory 7, a start port 8, a gate 9, a big winning port 10, and an out port 11 are processed at predetermined positions according to the model. The

  The decorative sheet 3 is formed of a celluloid sheet or a resin-coated paper sheet, and a pattern designed for each model is printed on almost the entire area. As a method for attaching the decorative sheet 3, heat bonding or the like can be used in addition to adhesion.

In the gauge press, a plurality of pilot holes 12 are formed on the decorative sheet 3 by pressing a gauge plate 14 having a plurality of gauge pins 13 protruding thereon against the surface of the substrate 2. Since the formation position of the pilot hole 12 differs for each model, a dedicated gauge plate 14 is prepared for each model, and the gauge plate is replaced according to the model to be manufactured.
The game nail 4 can be placed using a known nailing machine.

[Market]
As shown in FIG. 3A, the decorative sheet 3 is preliminarily printed with a plurality of marks 15 indicating appropriate prepared hole forming positions. When such a mark 15 is printed on the decorative sheet 3, it is possible to easily confirm the positional error of the lower hole 12 with respect to the base material 2 and the decorative sheet 3 and the positional error of the game nail 4 with respect to the lower hole 12 on the basis of this. In addition, the positional error of the decorative sheet 3 with respect to the substrate 2 can be confirmed based on the positional deviation of the pilot hole 12 with respect to the mark 15.

  The mark 15 is preferably printed at least at a diagonal position of the prepared hole forming region in the decorative sheet 3. In this way, it is possible to check the error at the diagonal position where the position error appears remarkably.

  As shown in FIG. 3B, the mark 15 of the present embodiment includes a first mark area 15a indicating an appropriate formation position of the lower hole 12, and a second mark area indicating an allowable error range of the lower hole 12. 15b. As a result, it is possible not only to accurately determine whether or not the position error is within an allowable range, but also to obtain a uniform confirmation result even if a plurality of workers confirm the error.

  It is preferable that the first mark area 15a and the second mark area 15b are partitioned by concentric circles and have a color or pattern different from that outside the mark area. In this way, the first mark area 15a and the second mark area 15b can be clearly distinguished from other areas, so that error confirmation with the naked eye can be further facilitated and defective products can be reliably prevented from being overlooked. become.

  In addition, the mark 15 of the present invention is not limited to that of the above embodiment, and can be various forms. For example, as shown in FIG. 4, the mark 15 may be a design such as a character. 4A is a picture having a face shape as a whole, but the eye portion functions as a mark 15. FIG. Also, what is shown in FIG. 4B is a picture having a crescent moon shape as a whole, but a portion lacking the crescent moon functions as a mark 15. Also, what is shown in FIG. 4C is a star-shaped picture as a whole, but its central portion functions as a mark 15.

  Further, the number and positions of the marks 15 on the decorative sheet 3 are not limited to those in the above embodiment. For example, three or more marks 15 may be printed on the decorative sheet 3. Further, the position of the mark 15 is preferably a diagonal position, but it may be printed at the driving position of the game nail 4 that defines the start opening 8 that is important for the game.

[Error checking method]
Next, a method for confirming the position error with reference to the mark 15 will be described. The confirmation of the position error using the mark 15 is performed after the step of forming the plurality of prepared holes 12 on the decorative sheet 3 using a gauge press and / or the step of placing the game nail 4 at the prepared hole position. Can be done after.

(A) to (C) of FIG. 5 show an example in the case where the position error is confirmed after the gauge press.
In FIG. 5A, the two lower holes 12 are shifted in the upper left direction with respect to the two marks 15 (first mark area 15a) at the diagonal positions. In this case, it can be determined that the decorative sheet 3 is attached to the base material 2 while being shifted in the lower right direction. If the lower hole 12 is in the second mark area 15b, it can be determined that the lower hole 12 is within the allowable error range. If the lower hole 12 protrudes from the second mark area 15b, it is a defective product. I can judge.

  In FIG. 5B, the lower hole 12 is shifted in the upper left direction at the upper mark 15, and the lower hole 12 is shifted in the lower right direction at the lower mark 15. In this case, it can be determined that the decorative sheet 3 is attached to the base material 2 while being shifted in the clockwise direction. If the lower hole 12 is in the second mark area 15b, it can be determined that the lower hole 12 is within the allowable error range. If the lower hole 12 protrudes from the second mark area 15b, it is a defective product. I can judge.

  In FIG. 5C, in the upper mark 15, the lower hole 12 is displaced in the upper left direction in the lower mark 15 even though the lower hole 12 is formed in the first mark area 15a. Yes. In such a case, since it is determined that some trouble has occurred in the gauge press, production can be stopped immediately and the cause of the failure can be confirmed.

  Further, even in the state as shown in FIGS. 5A and 5B, if the deviation width of the pilot hole 12 in each mark 15 is not uniform, some trouble is caused as in FIG. Therefore, it is possible to check the cause of the failure.

  In the confirmation work after the game nail 4 is driven into the lower hole position, not only can the shift of the game nail 4 with respect to the mark 15 be determined, but also the positions of the mark 15, the lower hole 12 and the game nail 4 should be simultaneously observed. Thus, confirmation regarding various position errors and troubles can be performed collectively. For example, even if a defective product is overlooked in the confirmation work after the gauge press, a double check can be performed by the confirmation work after nailing to detect the overlooked defective product.

  The gaming board 1 of the present embodiment configured as described above includes a step of attaching a decorative sheet 3 on which a pattern is printed on the surface of a base material 2, and a plurality of decorative sheets 3 from above the decorative sheet 3 using a gauge press. It is manufactured through a process of forming the pilot hole 12 and a process of placing the game nail 4 at these pilot hole positions, and the decorative sheet 3 has a plurality of proper hole formation positions. Since the mark 15 is printed in advance, the position error of the lower hole 12 with respect to the base material 2 and the decorative sheet 3 and the position error of the game nail 4 with respect to the lower hole 12 can be easily confirmed on the basis of the mark 15. Can do. This not only simplifies the confirmation work, but also prevents oversight of defective products. Further, since the positional error of the decorative sheet 3 with respect to the base material 2 can also be confirmed based on the positional deviation of the pilot hole 12 with respect to the mark 15, it is possible to detect defective products at an early stage before the game nail 4 is driven. become.

  Further, since the plurality of marks 15 are printed at least at the diagonal position of the prepared hole forming region in the decorative sheet 3, the error can be confirmed at the diagonal position where the position error appears prominently. Not only is the operation easier, but the position error can be determined with high accuracy.

  Further, since the mark 15 includes a first mark area 15a indicating an appropriate formation position of the lower hole 12 and a second mark area 15b indicating an allowable error range of the lower hole 12, the position error is within the allowable range. It can be clearly determined whether or not. As a result, the error confirmation is further facilitated, and inconveniences in which the confirmation result varies depending on the operator can be solved.

  In addition, the first mark area 15a and the second mark area 15b are partitioned by concentric circles and have a color or pattern different from the outside of the mark area, so that the first mark area 15a and the second mark area 15b It can be clearly distinguished from these areas. As a result, error confirmation with the naked eye is further facilitated, and oversight of defective products can be reliably prevented.
