In the state shown in FIG. 10 where the door frame 15 and the set panel 22 are closed with respect to the pachinko machine body 4, the front end of the slide pin 63 is moved by the door frame 15 (upper beam 19) as shown in FIG. When pushed, the rear end of the slide pin 63 pushes the lever 67 b of the limit switch 67. On the other hand, when the door frame 15 is no longer pushed as shown in FIG.
Due to the urging force, the slide pin 63 slides forward and does not interfere with the lever 67b of the limit switch 67.

The operation of the pachinko machine according to Embodiment 2 having such a configuration will be described.
In the state where the door frame 15 and the set panel 22 are completely closed with respect to the pachinko machine body 4 in FIG. 10, the lever 67 b of the limit switch 67 is pushed by the rear end of the slide pin 63 as shown in FIG. Has been moved. In the present embodiment, the state in which the lever 67b is pushed in the direction of the main body 67a is a non-detected state in which the limit switch 67 is not input.
First, when only the door frame 15 is opened, as shown in FIG. 12 and FIG. 15A, the door frame 15 is not pushed against the slide pin 63 as the door frame 15 is opened. It slides forward and does not interfere with the lever 67b of the limit switch 67. That is, it is detected that the limit switch 67 is input and the door frame 15 is opened.
Further, when only the set panel 22 is opened while the door frame 15 is closed as shown in FIG. 13, the pushing of the limit switch 67 at the rear end of the slide pin 63 to the lever 67b is eliminated. That is, it is detected that the limit switch 51 is input and the set board 22 is released.
However, since the door frame 15 remains closed, the pushing operation of the door frame 15 with respect to the slide pin 63 is maintained (see FIG. 15C).

With this configuration, the first embodiment has the following effects.
(1) In order to check that each of the door frame 15 and the set panel 22 is opened, a sensor is required for each of them, and it is possible to detect which one is opened by one limit switch 67. The cost is reduced compared to the conventional case where sensors are used, and the installation work, maintenance and inspection are also reduced, so the cost of the pachinko machine is reduced as a whole.
(2) Since the gap between the door frame 15 and the set panel 22 is open across the pachinko machine body 4,
Where the limit switch 67 is difficult to turn on and off, since the slide pin 63 is interposed in the middle, even the existing limit switch 67 from the past can be turned on and off accurately.
(3) The lever 67b of the limit switch 67 passes through the through hole 55 and the upper frame plate 1a of the outer frame 1
Therefore, when the door frame 15 and the pachinko machine main body 4 are closed, it cannot be touched or visually observed from the outside.
(4) A person who plays an illegal game may try to prevent the limit switch 67 from being input, for example, by opening the door frame 15 slightly and putting a finger and pressing the lever 67b of the limit switch 67. . However, since the intermediate switch 61 is located near the center away from the opening and is formed on the upper beam 19 as described above, it is very difficult to insert a finger and the lever 67b is also difficult to see, thus preventing illegal games. Contribute greatly.

It should be noted that the present invention can be modified and embodied as follows.
When the opening / closing of the door frame 15 and the pachinko machine main body 4 is detected with respect to the outer frame 1 as in the first embodiment, the intermediate switch 61 as in the second embodiment is arranged in the pachinko machine main body 4. It doesn't matter.
As shown in FIG. 16, the bracket 71 as the detected portion is extended forward from the upper frame plate 1a of the outer frame 1, and the limit switch 51 is closed with the door frame 15 and the pachinko machine body 4 closed. The lever 51b and the bracket 71 may contact each other in the through hole 55.
If comprised in this way, it will become unnecessary to comprise the lever 51b so long.
As shown in FIG. 17, the limit switch 67 according to the second embodiment may be arranged not on the set panel 22 side but on the door frame 15 side.
As shown in FIG. 18, the mounting positions of the limit switch 51 and the bracket 71 in FIG. 16 may be reversed.
As shown in FIG. 19, an optical sensor 73 is used instead of the limit switch 51, and the optical frame of the optical sensor 73 is closed with the door frame 15 and the pachinko machine body 4 closed on the upper frame plate 1 a of the outer frame 1. You may make it mount | wear with the bracket 74 which interrupts. Of course, the mounting positions of the optical sensor 73 and the bracket 74 may be reversed.
As shown in FIG. 20, a proximity switch 75 is used instead of the limit switch 51 and the optical sensor 73, and the iron bracket 7 adjacent to the proximity switch 75 on the upper frame plate 1 a of the outer frame 1.
6 may be mounted. Of course, the mounting positions of the proximity switch 75 and the bracket 76 may be reversed.
As shown in FIG. 21, by using a proximity switch 75 with high sensitivity, the metal plate 77 on the outer frame 1 side is detected with the pachinko machine body 4 interposed therebetween without providing the through hole 55. May be. Of course, the mounting positions of the proximity switch 75 and the metal plate 77 may be reversed.
The through hole 55 is not visible from the outside when the door frame 15 and the pachinko machine body 4 are closed. However, the through hole 55 may be formed in a cutout shape that can be seen from the outside.
For example, in the first embodiment, the limit switch 51 as a sensor is disposed above, but may be disposed anywhere as long as the door frame 15, the pachinko machine body 4, and the outer frame 1 overlap. Absent.
