Further, in order to close and lock the opened front frame 90, the front frame 90 may be pressed against the outer frame 82.

Now, when removing the case body 120 from the pachinko gaming machine 10, it operates as follows.
First, the front frame 90 is opened to expose the rear side of the mechanism plate 75. Next, the transparent cover 76 covering the attachment / detachment operation window 77 of the mechanism plate 75 is removed. Then, the case body 120 containing the liquid crystal module 100 is exposed from the attachment / detachment operation window 77 to the rear surface side of the pachinko gaming machine 10 (state of FIG. 15).

  Next, the male screw 140 to which the left side wall 124L of the case body 120 and the rear display frame 33 are fixed is removed from the rear surface side of the mechanism plate 75 using a tool. When the male screw 140 is removed, the case body 120 can be moved with respect to the rear display frame 33 (game board 11). However, the fitting bosses 150 and 150 of the rear display frame 33 and the case body 120 can be moved. Since the boss receiving portions 151 and 151 remain in a concavo-convex manner, the case body 120 rattles in a direction perpendicular to the front-rear direction (vertical direction in FIG. 15) by removing the male screw 140, or is lowered by its own weight. It is prevented from dripping into the water.

  Next, the case body 120 is gripped, and the case body 120 is rotated inside the attachment / detachment operation window 77. Specifically, the boss receiving portion 151 is rotated so as to be separated from the fitting boss portion 150 around the right side wall 124R side of the case body 120 (state of FIG. 18). Then, the case body protrusion 160T of the locking hook 160 provided on the right side wall 124R of the case body 120 rotates in the inner space of the locking box 161 (between the sandwiching opposing walls 162 and 162), and the case body protrusion. The part 160T and the rear locking wall 163 of the locking box 161 are separated from each other, and the locking is released. Furthermore, as the left side wall 124L of the case body 120 moves away from the rear display frame 33, the case body protrusion 160T is gradually pulled out from the protrusion insertion opening 165. As shown in FIG. 17, when the case body protrusion 160 </ b> T is completely pulled out from the protrusion insertion opening 165, the entire case body 120 is moved to the rear of the rear display frame 33 in the same posture. Thereby, the case body 120 is removed from the rear surface side of the game board 11 with the mechanism plate 75 attached to the rear surface side of the game board 11 (state of FIG. 16).

  Here, as shown in FIG. 19, when the case body 120 is rotated so as to move away from the rear display frame 33, the boss receiving portion 151 of the case body 120 is moved to the second inclined surface 168A of the second guide portion 168. Since the posture of the case body 120 is stabilized when it is slidably contacted, the case body 120 can be prevented from falling.

  On the other hand, when attaching the case body 120 to the rear display frame 33, an operation reverse to that for removing the case body 120 is performed. That is, the case body 120 is inclined with respect to the rear display frame 33 so that the left side wall 124L of the case body 120 is separated from the rear display frame 33, and inserted into the attachment / detachment operation window 77 from the right wall 124R side. (See FIG. 16). At this time, when the lower surfaces of the locking hooks 160 and 160 are brought into sliding contact with the upper surfaces of the leg support pieces 166 and 166, the case body protrusions 160T and 160T are inserted into the protrusion insertion openings 165 and 165 of the locking boxes 161 and 161, respectively. You will be guided to the position you faced. That is, the right side wall 124R side of the case body 120 is abutted against the rear display frame 33, and the left side wall 124L side of the case body 120 is separated from the rear side display frame 33 (state of FIG. 17).

  When the case body 120 is in the case mounting posture, the left side wall 124L of the case body 120 is rotated so as to approach the rear display frame 33 with the right side wall 124R side of the case body 120 as the center. Then, the case body protrusion 160T of the locking hook 160 enters between the sandwiching facing walls 162 and 162 from the protrusion insertion opening 165 (state shown in FIG. 18). Then, as the left side wall 124L side of the case body 120 approaches the rear display frame 33, the case body protrusion 160T approaches the rear surface locking wall 163 of the locking box 161, and the boss receiving provided on the left side wall 124L of the case body 120 is received. When the portions 151 and 151 are fitted to the fitting boss portions 150 and 150 of the rear display frame 33, the rear surface of the case body protrusion 160T is locked to the rear locking wall 163, and the case body 120 is brought into the normal mounting position. And the right side wall 124R side of the case body 120 is fixed to the rear display frame 33 (state shown in FIG. 15). Finally, when the male screw 140 inserted from the rear of the boss receiving portion 151 is screwed into the fitting boss portion 150 in a state where the case body 120 is disposed at the regular attachment position, the left side wall 124L side of the case body 120 is the rear side. Fixed to the display frame 33. That is, the case body 120 can be attached to the rear surface side of the game board 11 while the mechanism plate 75 is attached to the rear face side of the game board 11.

  Here, in the present embodiment, when the case body 120 is rotated with respect to the rear display frame 33, the leg portion 160K of the case body 120 is supported from below by the leg support pieces 166. An excessive load is prevented from being applied to the leg portion 160K during the rotation of the case body 120, and the leg portion 160K is less likely to be damaged as compared with the case where the leg portion support piece 166 is not provided.

  In the present embodiment, when the case body 120 is brought close to the rear display frame 33, the case body protrusion of the locking hook 160 is required unless the case body 120 is inclined with respect to the rear display frame 33 by a predetermined angle or more. It is impossible to dispose the case body protrusion 160T at a position facing the protrusion insertion opening 165 of the locking box 161 because 160T and the rear surface locking wall 163 of the locking box 161 come into contact (interference) with each other. It has a configuration.

  By the way, in this embodiment, when the case body 120 is placed in the case mounting posture and the case body protrusion 160T is inserted into the internal space of the locking box 161, the holding opposing walls 162 and 162 of the locking box 161 and the rear surface A slight gap is formed between the stop wall 163 and the case body protrusion 160T. Therefore, when the case body 120 is attached to the rear display frame 33 by the above-described operation, the case body 120 is placed in the case while the case body 120 is rotated toward the rear display frame 33 after the case body 120 is placed in the case mounting posture. The body protrusion 160T may hang downward. However, even in such a case, according to the present embodiment, in the process of rotating the case body 120 toward the rear display frame 33, the first guide portion 167 and / or the second guide portion 168 are brought into the normal attachment position. You can guide to.

  As shown in FIG. 19, when the amount of sag L of the case body 120 (for example, the distance between the center of the screw hole 150N of the fitting boss 150 and the center of the screw insertion hole 153 of the boss receiving portion 151) is relatively small. Is as follows.
