FIG. 1 is a perspective view (a is a perspective view from the front side, and b is a perspective view from the back side) of the vertical member 1 on the right side of the middle frame of the ball game machine.

  The middle frame includes a right vertical member 1, a left vertical member arranged to face the right vertical member 1, an upper member horizontally disposed between upper ends of the left and right vertical members, and left and right vertical members. Although it is a rectangular frame composed of four members called a lower side member placed horizontally between the lower ends of the side members, the left vertical side member, the upper side member, and the lower side member are in accordance with known techniques, and the entire middle frame Except for the right vertical side member 1, the general configuration is in accordance with known techniques, and therefore illustration and description thereof are omitted. The middle frame is connected to the outer frame by a hinge on the left vertical side member. However, since the outer frame and the hinge are in accordance with known techniques, their illustration and description are also omitted.

In the present embodiment, the right vertical side member 1 is an aluminum alloy extruded product, and has a substantially plate shape.
A pair of upper and lower locking brackets 2 and 3 are attached to the outer surface of the right vertical side member 1. The locking metal fittings 2 and 3 are connected by a connecting metal fitting 4 and are moved up and down in conjunction with each other. However, since the locking fittings 2 and 3 are urged to the rising side by the pulling spring 5, they are normally positioned at the rising end.
In addition, the raising / lowering range of the locking metal fittings 2 and 3 is prescribed | regulated by the long pin 6 provided in the locking metal fitting 2, and the control pin 7 to which the position of the right vertical side member 1 was fixed.

  When the middle frame is in the closed position, the right vertical member 1 overlaps the inside of the right vertical plate member of the outer frame, but the inclined portion 2a of the distal end portion of the locking fittings 2, 3 is in the middle of setting the middle frame in the closed position. 3a comes into contact with the locking portion provided on the right vertical plate member, and the locking metal fittings 2 and 3 are pushed down against the pulling spring 5 by the inclination, and the locking portion reaches the grooves 2b and 3b. The metal fittings 2 and 3 are pulled up by the force of the lifting spring 5 and locked to the locking portion. This prevents the middle frame from being displaced open (the middle frame is locked).

  The right vertical member 1 is also fitted with a front frame locking bracket 8 for locking a front frame (not shown). Each front frame locking metal fitting 8 has hooks facing downward, and is displaced up and down in a swinging manner in conjunction with each other. Since the front frame locking metal fitting 8 is biased toward the side where the tip is lowered, it is normally positioned at the downwardly displaced end and locks the front frame.
