Description

  The present invention relates to gaming machines represented by pachinko machines and slot machines.

  Some gaming machines such as pachinko machines and slot machines have a control board accommodated in a board box and arranged on the back side of the game board. In such a gaming machine, when the model is different, a different control board is used, but the board box itself that is the exterior body often has the same configuration. Alternatively, even if the model is the same, it may be manufactured to a plurality of different specifications in which only the winning probabilities are set different from each other. However, it is usual that the substrate box itself, which is the exterior body, also has the same configuration.

  In these cases, it is necessary to correctly assemble a board box equipped with a corresponding control board for each model or specification. However, since the board box as an exterior body has the same configuration, It is difficult to determine which model or specification is compatible from the outside, so that a board box containing a control board that does not correspond to the model or specification is incorrectly assembled during assembly work. Assembly) is likely to occur.

  Therefore, for example, a convex portion and a concave portion that can be fitted to each other are formed at the board box and the assembly position (for example, the mounting base) on the gaming machine side where the board box is assembled. In this case, the position and number of the projections and recesses are made different so that only a board box equipped with a control board corresponding to a given model or specification can be assembled. It is also made to prevent.

  However, since it is necessary to make the inside visible, the substrate box is generally formed by molding a transparent resin. Therefore, the convex portion or the concave portion is usually made of a transparent resin. It has become. In this case, although it is possible to prevent erroneous assembly in the end by correspondence between the convex portion and the concave portion, the convex portion or the concave portion itself is not so conspicuous until the assembly is completed. There is a problem that it is difficult to determine which model or specification the box corresponds to, and it is difficult to determine the box, so that the workability of the assembly is poor. In addition, as a result of forming convex parts or concave parts with different formation positions and numbers for each model or specification, it is necessary to change the mold used to manufacture the substrate box for each model or specification, There is also a problem that the manufacturing cost increases.

  The present invention has been devised in view of such problems, and an object of the present invention is to provide a gaming machine that can clearly identify a board box to be assembled to a gaming machine.

  Hereinafter, the best mode of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. Here, pachinko gaming machines (hereinafter simply referred to as “pachinko machines”) are listed as gaming machines.

(Configuration of front side of pachinko machine)
1 is a front view of the pachinko machine 10, FIG. 2 is a perspective view of the pachinko machine 10, and FIG. 3 is a perspective view of a front frame of the pachinko machine 10. As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the pachinko machine 10 includes an outer frame 11 that forms an outer shell of the pachinko machine 10, and an inner frame 12 that is supported on one side of the outer frame 11 so as to be opened and closed. I have. Below, the structure of the outer frame 11 and the inner frame 12 is demonstrated separately.

  The outer frame 11 is formed in a rectangular shape as a whole by a wooden plate material, and each plate material is assembled by a detachable fastener such as a small screw. The outer frame 11 may be made of a light metal such as resin or aluminum. This is because such a configuration can reduce the weight of the pachinko machine.

  On the other hand, the opening / closing axis of the inner frame 12 is set so as to extend vertically on the opposite side (left side of the pachinko machine 10 in FIG. 1) from the position where the handle (game ball launching handle 18 described later) is installed as viewed from the front of the pachinko machine 10. The inner frame 12 can be sufficiently opened to the front side with the opening / closing axis as the axis. If the opening / closing axis of the inner frame 12 is in the vertical direction on the handle installation location side (the right side of the pachinko machine 10 in FIG. 1), the game ball launching handle is opened when the inner frame 12 is opened. This is because the 18 heads and the like interfere with adjacent pachinko machines and card units (ball lending units), and the inner frame 12 cannot be fully opened. The inner frame 12 is made of a synthetic resin, specifically, ABS acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene resin. By doing so, the advantages of high viscosity and high impact resistance and low cost production are exhibited.

  Further, the inner frame 12 has a lower pan unit 13 at the lowermost part thereof, and a front frame set 14 attached to the left and right sides of the inner frame 12 so as to be openable and closable about a vertical opening / closing axis, and a resin base 25. (See FIG. 6) and a game board 30 (to be described later) attached to the rear side of the resin base 25. Each of these configurations will be described in detail below.

  The lower plate unit 13 is fixed to the front frame base member as a part of the front frame set 14. On the front side of the lower plate unit 13, a lower plate 15, a ball removal lever 17, a game ball launching handle 18, and an effect button 79 are provided. The lower tray 15 serving as a ball receiving tray is provided at substantially the center of the lower tray unit 13 and plays a role of stopping a game ball discharged from the discharge port 16 when the upper tray described later becomes full. is there. The ball removal lever 17 is for removing a game ball in the lower tray 15, and by moving the ball removal lever 17 to the left in FIG. 1, a predetermined location on the bottom surface of the lower tray 15 is opened. The game ball stopped in the lower plate 15 can be discharged to the player's ball storage box (dollar box) through the opening on the bottom surface of the lower plate 15. The game ball launching handle 18 is disposed so as to protrude to the front side on the right side of the lower plate 15. In accordance with the operation of the game ball launching handle 18 by the player, the game ball is driven toward a game board 30 described later by a game ball launching device having a launch solenoid. A sound output port 24 for outputting sound from a speaker is provided at the upper part of the front frame set 14.

  On the other hand, an upper plate 19 as a receiving tray for game balls is provided integrally with the front frame set 14 at a lower portion of the front frame set 14 (above the lower plate 15 described above). The upper tray 19 is a ball receiving tray for temporarily storing the game balls and guiding them to the game ball launching device 38 while aligning them in a line. In addition, an effect button 79 for the player to perform an operation such as changing the background of the decorative symbol display device 42 is provided at the lower left of the upper plate 19.

  In addition, the front frame set 14 is provided with light emitting means such as various lamps around it (for example, a corner portion). These light emitting means play a role of enhancing the effect of the game during the game by changing and controlling the light emission mode such as lighting and blinking according to the change of the game state in the big hit game state or the like. For example, at the periphery of the window portion 101, an annular illumination portion 102 containing a light emitting means such as an LED is provided symmetrically, and lighting or blinking in the big hit gaming state, it is in a big hit gaming state It is the structure which alert | reports.

In addition, a ball lending operation unit 120 is disposed below the window unit 101, and the ball lending operation unit 120 is provided with a ball lending button, a return button, and a frequency display unit. When the ball lending operation unit 120 is operated with a bill or a card inserted in a card unit (ball lending unit) (not shown) arranged on the side of the pachinko machine 10, a game ball is lent according to the operation. Done. The ball lending button is operated to obtain a lending ball based on information recorded on a card or the like (recording medium), and the lending ball is supplied to the upper plate 19 as long as there is a remaining amount on the card or the like. The The return button is operated when requesting the return of a card or the like inserted into the card unit. The frequency display section displays remaining amount information such as a card. Note that the ball lending operation unit 120 is not required for a pachinko machine in which a game ball is directly rented from the ball lending device unit to the upper plate without using a card unit, that is, a so-called cash machine. Therefore, a decorative seal or the like is attached to the installation portion of the ball rental operation unit 120. Thereby, the common use of the lending operation unit of the pachinko machine using the card unit and the cash machine can be achieved.

  Next, the configuration of the game board 30 will be described with reference to FIGS. 4 and 5. 4 is a front view showing the configuration of the game board 30, and FIG. 5 is a perspective view showing the configuration of the game board 30.

  Here, the display contents of the special symbol display device, the normal symbol display device, and the decorative symbol display device 42 will be described. In the pachinko machine 10 of the present embodiment, the special symbol displayed on the special symbol display device as a symbol for showing the occurrence of the jackpot to the player, and the decorative symbol displayed on the decorative symbol display device 42 are two. Types are provided. The decorative symbol is a symbol that changes in synchronization with the special symbol. The decorative symbol starts changing at the same time (or almost at the same time) as the special symbol starts to change, and at the same time (or almost at the same time) as the special symbol changes. To stop the fluctuation. This decorative design is provided in order to provide a player with a variety of display effects so that the player is not bored.

  First, the display contents of the special symbol display device will be described. The special symbol variation display is expressed by a change in the lighting pattern of the nine LED segments. The variation display of the special symbol is started based on winning of the game ball to the start winning device 33, and the variation display of the special symbol is simultaneously stopped after a certain time. After the stop, a lighting pattern indicating a big hit or a lighting pattern indicating a loss is displayed. In the case of a loss, a variation display is performed again based on winning to the start winning device 33. The number of times that the game ball has won the start winning device 33 is held up to a maximum of 4 times, and the number of times that the game ball is held is lit and displayed on the hold lamp 800a of the special symbol hold display device 800.

Next, display contents of the decorative symbol display device 42 will be described. On the display screen of the decorative symbol display device 42, for example, three decorative symbol columns Z1 to Z3 are displayed in three display areas divided into an upper stage, a middle stage, and a lower stage. These decorative symbol rows Z1 to Z3 are scroll-displayed from right to left. The decorative symbol is composed of, for example, a main symbol composed of numbers “1” to “9” and a sub symbol smaller than the main symbol, and a symbol row of the decorative symbol is formed by each of the main symbol and the sub symbol. In each symbol row formed with decorative symbols, the main symbols are arranged in ascending or descending order of numbers, and sub-designs are arranged between the main symbols. When a winning to the start winning device 33, that is, a start winning occurs, the decorative symbol is displayed in a variable manner, and the variable display is stopped after a lapse of a certain time according to the changing pattern. 3 nine decorative symbols are displayed as a display result. In the variable display won in the big win lottery, the display control device 45 controls the three main symbols so that they stop on a vertical or diagonal straight line among the nine decorative symbols. The jackpot is indicated. On the other hand, in the variable display out of the big hit lottery, the display control device 45 controls the game so that three identical main symbols do not stop vertically or diagonally among the nine decorative symbols. The person is shown an outbreak.

  Next, the display contents of the normal symbol display device will be described. The normal symbol variation display is expressed by alternately lighting the first lamp (appearance is ◯ shape) and the second lamp (appearance is X shape). The normal symbol variation display is started on the condition that the game ball passes through the second start winning device 34, and the regular symbol variation display stops after a certain period of time. And when it stops by a 1st lamp | ramp, it is comprised so that the 1st start prize-winning apparatus 33 may be in an operation state only for predetermined time (open | released). The number of times that the game ball has passed through the second starting prize-winning device 34 is held up to a maximum of 4 times, and the number of times that the game ball is held is displayed on the hold lamp 801a of the normal symbol hold display device 801.

  Next, the operation of the pachinko machine 10 configured as described above will be described. In the present embodiment, the MPU 501 in the main control device 261 uses various counter information during the game to set up a jackpot lottery or a symbol display setting of a special symbol display device. Specifically, a counter group related to the special symbol and a counter group related to the normal symbol are provided. First, a counter group related to special symbols will be described. As a group of counters related to the special symbol, the jackpot random number counter C1 used for the jackpot lottery, the jackpot symbol counter C2 used for the selection of the jackpot symbol of the special symbol display device, and the special symbol display device when the special symbol display device is out and fluctuates. Stop pattern selection counter C3 used for selection of stop patterns (corresponding to reach lottery for reaching or completely disabling in the variation of decorative symbols), and initial values used for setting initial values of the jackpot random number counter C1 A random number counter CINI1 and variation type counters CS1 to CS3 for determining a type used for variation pattern selection are provided.

  Here, the variation pattern means each pattern (form) in a case where features having common features of variation display are divided.

  Each of the counters C1 to C3, CINI1, CS1 to CS3 is a loop counter that adds 1 to the previous value every time it is updated, and returns to 0 after reaching the maximum value. Each counter is updated at short time intervals, and the updated value is appropriately stored in a counter buffer set in a predetermined area of the RAM 503. The RAM 503 is provided with a holding ball storage area 700 including one execution area and four holding areas (holding first to fourth areas). In each of these areas, a game to the start winning device 33 is performed. The values of the jackpot random number counter C1, the jackpot symbol counter C2, and the stop pattern selection counter C3 are stored in accordance with the winning timing of the ball.

Next, the specific contents of each counter will be described in detail.
The jackpot random number counter C1 is configured such that, for example, 1 is sequentially added within a range of 0 to 738, and after reaching the maximum value (that is, 738), it returns to 0. In particular, when the jackpot random number counter C1 makes one round, the value of the random number initial value counter CINI1 at that time is read as the initial value of the jackpot random number counter C1. The random number initial value counter CINI1 is configured as a loop counter that is updated in the same range as the jackpot random number counter C1 (value = 0 to 0).
738), and is updated once for each timer interrupt and is repeatedly updated within the remaining time of the normal processing. The jackpot random number counter C1 is updated periodically (once every timer interruption in this embodiment), and stored in the reserved ball storage area 700 of the RAM 503 at the timing when the game ball wins the start winning device 33. The number of random number values that are jackpots is set at low probability and high probability, and the number of random numbers that are jackpots at low probability is 2, and the value is “373, 727” There are 14 random numbers that are big hits at high probability, and the values are “59, 109, 163, 211, 263, 317, 367, 421, 479, 523, 577, 631, 683, 733”. is there. High probability means a state in which a special symbol combination is a jackpot due to the combination of a specific symbol that is a predetermined probability variation symbol and the subsequent jackpot probability has increased as added value, so-called probability change. Time (when the probability is low) refers to a case where the probability variation state is not such.

  The jackpot symbol counter C2 determines a symbol at the time of a jackpot when the special symbol display device stops changing the special symbol. For example, the jackpot symbol counter C2 is incremented by one within a range of 0 to 4, and the maximum value (that is, 4). After reaching this value, it returns to 0. For example, when the value of the jackpot symbol counter C2 is “0” or “1”, nine LED segments are stopped at a specific lighting pattern, and the combination of stop symbols in this case is a non-specific symbol (normally Of jackpot symbol).

  When the value of the jackpot symbol counter C2 is “2”, “3”, “4”, the nine LED segments stop in a specific lighting pattern different from the above, and the stop symbol of this case The combination means a specific symbol (probability variation symbol).

  The jackpot symbol counter C2 is updated periodically (once every timer interruption in this embodiment), and stored in the reserved ball storage area 700 of the RAM 503 at the timing when the game ball wins the start winning device 33.

  The stop pattern selection counter C3 is, for example, incremented by 1 in the range of 0 to 238, and returns to 0 after reaching the maximum value (that is, 238). In the present embodiment, the special symbol variation display is configured to be expressed by nine LED segments. Therefore, in the case of the special symbol, there is no concept of reach, and a stop pattern corresponding to reach is designated as a stop pattern selection counter C3. It is decided to decide. On the other hand, in the case of a decorative symbol, since three decorative symbols are stopped, there is a reach. Therefore, in the case of a decorative design, the reach lottery is determined by the stop pattern selection counter C3. That is, in the case of a decorative design, after the reach has occurred, the final stop symbol is shifted by one shift before and after the reach symbol, and the stop symbol is stopped before and after the reach symbol. It is decided to draw “reach other than front / rear off” to stop and “complete out” that does not cause reach. For example, the stop pattern selection counter C3 = 0 to 201 corresponds to complete detachment, the stop pattern selection counter C3 = 202 to 208 corresponds to anteroposterior detachment reach, and the stop pattern selection counter C3 = 209 to 238 lies other than detachment anteroposterior. Applicable.

Here, “reach” refers to a combination of symbols that stop before the decorative symbol displayed on the display screen of the decorative symbol display device 42 starts changing display, and the combination of symbols that stop first is the same symbol (in a decorative symbol having a plurality of effective lines). A combination of jackpot symbols, suggesting to the player that the jackpot will be a big win depending on the display result of the symbols that are the same symbol on any active line) and satisfy the jackpot condition Is a display that makes a player expect the game, and is a type of entertainment production. An interesting effect is that a predetermined symbol represented by reach is displayed on the display screen of the decorative symbol display device 42 in the middle of variable display, a specific sound is output from a speaker, or a vibration motor is used. This is an effect that causes the player to expect that the display result after the change display will be a big hit with the change display, such as vibrating the game ball launch handle 18.

  The stop pattern selection counter C3 is periodically updated (once every timer interruption in this embodiment) and stored in the reserved ball storage area 700 of the RAM 503 at the timing when the game ball is won by the start winning device 33.

The variation type counter CS1 is, for example, incremented by 1 within a range of 0 to 198, and returns to 0 after reaching the maximum value (that is, 198). The variation type counter CS2 is, for example, incremented by 1 within a range of 0 to 240, and returns to 0 after reaching the maximum value (that is, 240). For example, the variation type counter CS3 is incremented by 1 within a range of 0 to 162, for example, and reaches a maximum value (that is, 162) and then returns to 0.
The variation type counter CS1 determines a rough symbol variation mode such as the reach type such as normal reach, super reach, premium reach, etc., and the variation type counter CS2 further refines the symbol such as normal reach A, normal reach B, etc. The variation mode is determined, and the variation type counter CS2 determines, for example, the addition / subtraction of the variation time in the case of a slip stop variation. Therefore, a variety of variation patterns can be easily realized by combining these variation type counters CS1 to CS3.

  The counters CS <b> 1 to CS <b> 3 are updated once every time a normal process to be described later is executed once, and are repeatedly updated even within the remaining time in the normal process. Then, the buffer values of the counters CS1 to CS3 are acquired when determining the variation pattern at the start of variation of the special symbol by the special symbol display device and the decorative symbol display device 42.

  Next, a counter group related to normal symbols will be described. The counter group related to the normal symbol includes a winning random number counter C4 used for winning lottery and an initial value random number counter CINI2 used for setting an initial value of the winning random number counter C4.

  The hit random number counter C4 is a loop counter that adds 1 to the previous value every time it is updated, and returns to 0 after reaching the maximum value. The counter is updated at short time intervals, and the updated value is appropriately stored in a counter buffer set in a predetermined area of the RAM 503. The RAM 503 is provided with a holding ball storage area 701 including one execution area and four holding areas (holding first to fourth areas). In each of these areas, the second start winning device 34 is provided. The value of the hit random number counter C4 is stored in accordance with the passing of the game ball.

  Next, the specific contents of the winning random number counter C4 and the initial value random number CINI2 will be described in detail. The winning random number counter C4 is, for example, incremented by 1 in the range of 0 to 250, and returns to 0 after reaching the maximum value (that is, 250). When the winning random number counter C4 makes one round, the value of the winning initial value random number counter CINI2 at that time is read as the initial value of the winning random number counter C4. The initial value random number counter CINI2 is configured as a loop counter that is updated in the same range as the winning random number counter C4 (value = 0 to 250), and is updated once per timer interrupt and within the remaining time of normal processing. Will be updated repeatedly. The winning random number counter C4 is updated periodically (once every timer interruption in this embodiment), and stored in the reserved ball storage area 701 of the RAM 503 at the timing when the game ball passes through the second start winning device 34. The number of random number values hit by the hit random number counter C4 is 149, and the value is “5 to 153”.

  In addition, the magnitude | size and range of each counter are only examples, and can be changed arbitrarily. However, if importance is attached to irregularity, the big hit random number counter C1, the stop pattern selection counter C3, the hit random number counter C4, and the variation type counters CS1 to CS3 are all different prime numbers and are not synchronized in any case. It is desirable to leave.

The details of each control process executed by the MPU 501 in the main controller 261 will not be described here.
However, in summary, as described above, by winning the start winning device 33, the main control device 261 performs a lottery with a predetermined probability, and when winning, it shifts to a special gaming state. Thus, the variable winning device 32 enters a winning ball receiving state.

(Variable winning device and collection unit)
In this embodiment, the variable winning device 32 is configured as follows.
The basic configuration of the variable winning device 32 is to house a winning ball from a large winning opening 61 having a width that allows a plurality of gaming balls to pass in the lateral direction of the game board 30 in a housing portion (not shown). A detection sensor (not shown) is detected from a discharge portion provided in the storage portion.

  Then, a start winning device 33 (33a and 33b: see FIGS. 4 and 5) for entering a game ball flowing down the flowing space between the window portion 101 and the game board 30 into the game area of the game board 30 is provided. A winning lottery with a predetermined probability is performed by the main control device 261 by entering the starting prize winning device 33, and the game state is shifted to the special game state by the corresponding lottery. In the special game state, At least once, the variable winning device 32 is switched from the non-ball receiving state to the ball receiving state, and in the ball receiving state, a predetermined number of winning balls received from the large winning opening 61 are received in the receiving portion by the detection sensor. A predetermined number of award balls are paid out by detecting the above.

(Feature configuration)
In the pachinko machine 10, as described above, the main control board for controlling the game is housed inside, and the first control board box 201A unitized as the first control board unit 201 is connected to the game via the engagement mechanism. It is attached to the back side of the board 30. Hereinafter, the first control board box 201A and its mounting structure will be described.

  As shown in FIGS. 11 to 15, the first control board box 201 </ b> A has a substantially rectangular parallelepiped shape, and more specifically, has a substantially horizontally long rectangular front shape and has a slight thickness in the front-rear direction. The case is closed in a flat plate shape, and includes a box cover 71 that covers the front surface side of the control board and a box base 72 that covers the back surface side of the control board. Except for the protruding portion such as the portion 851, almost the entire box cover 71 forms a front surface side covering region, and almost the entire box base 72 forms a back surface side covering region. The box cover 71 and the box base 72 correspond to the first case and the second case, but it is arbitrary which of the box cover 71 and the box base 72 is the first case and which is the second case. is there. The first control board box 202A is configured such that the control board is accommodated inside the first case, that is, the box cover 71 and the second case, that is, the box base 72.

  As shown in FIG. 16, the box cover 71 and the box base 72 are each formed by forming a transparent resin into a substantially horizontally long rectangular shape. The box base 72 is a flat plate member that covers the open side of the box cover 71.

As shown in FIGS. 16 and 17, the upper and lower edges of the box cover 71 have eight hook-like pieces 73 extending vertically toward the box base 72 and spaced in the longitudinal direction by 8 pieces each. Are arranged. The hook-like piece 73 extends vertically from the top plate and the bottom plate of the box cover 71 toward the box base 72 respectively, and extends to the left in FIGS. The box cover 71 is integrally formed so as to form an L shape. Engagement slots 74 are provided on the upper and lower edges of the box base 72 at positions corresponding to the flanges 73 of the box cover 71, respectively. The engagement slot 74 is indented from the edge of the box cover 71 on the top and bottom plate portions of the box base 72 toward the inside with a width W2 slightly wider than the entire width W1 of the bowl-shaped piece 73. It extends to the left at a right angle on the back side, and is a hollow portion having a planar view shape (L-shape). In addition, in the top plate portion and the bottom plate portion of the box base 72, a pair of upper and lower hook-shaped pieces 73 formed at the right end in FIGS. 16 and 17 of the eight upper and lower hook-shaped pieces 73 of the box cover 71. At the corresponding position, only a portion corresponding to the distal end portion extending to the left of the engagement slot 74 is formed, and the right end of this portion is located at the right end of the box base 72, and the right side of this portion is the outside. It is a space (not shown). Further, in FIG. 16, the top plate 72T is shown in an exploded state as shown with the engagement slot 74 exposed, but the top plate 72T is actually welded to the top plate portion of the box base 72. Accordingly, the outer surface portion (upper wall portion) of the engagement slot 74 is closed by the top plate 72T.

  The box cover 71 is formed by inserting the hook-like pieces 73 into the engagement slots 74 of the box base 72 as shown by an arrow A1 in the drawing, and as shown in FIGS. Next, as shown by an arrow A2 in the figure, the box cover 71 is moved to the left in FIGS. 18 to 20 with respect to the box base 72 (or the box base 72 is moved to the right with respect to the box cover 71 in FIGS. 18 to 20). 21), that is, the box cover 71 and the box base 72 are slid so that the left and right ends thereof are aligned, and the hook-like piece 73 is engaged with the engagement slot 74 as shown in FIGS. As shown in FIGS. 21 to 23, the first control board box 201A is closed.

  One side edge (the left edge in FIGS. 16, 25, and 26) of the first control board box 201A is sealed by sealing metal fittings 75F and 75S. As shown in FIGS. 25 to 26, the one end edge of the box base 72 (the left end edge in FIGS. 25 and 26) is located at a position slightly inward of the one end edge. Two ribs (projections) 72R, 72L extending vertically in parallel with the side edge are provided, and thereby, between the ribs 72R, 72L, the box cover 71 side which is the lower side in FIGS. From FIG. 25 and FIG. 26, the groove part recessed into the other side which is an upper side is formed.

  In the groove portion between the ribs 72R and 72L, a metal plate is bent into a substantially U-shaped cross section along the inner surface shape of the groove portion, and a receiving metal fitting 76 having a length substantially equal to the groove portion is fitted. A projecting piece (not shown) projecting at the center and having a screw insertion hole is fixed by a screw as will be described later. One end edge of the receiving metal 76 further extends, and the outer surface of the rib 72R extends along the tip of the rib 72R on the inner side (the right side in FIGS. 25 and 26) of the two ribs 72R and 72L. It is bent to cover up to. Engagement pieces 76E are formed in the receiving metal piece 76 at four locations that are spaced apart in the length direction. The engagement piece 76E is a piece that contacts the inner surface of the inner rib 72R of the receiving metal piece 76 from the lower side of the box cover 71 in FIGS. 25 and 26 to the other side that is the upper side in FIGS. A cut is made in a shape that extends toward the top and is folded back into a U-shape, and the inner part of the cut is formed to be inclined slightly toward the groove.

The ribs 72R and 72L fitted with the receiving metal fitting 76 are covered with a covering member 77 as shown in FIG. The covering member 77 is a resin member having a length substantially equal to the ribs 72R and 72L. As shown in FIGS. 25 to 26, the covering member 77 is from the box cover 71 side, which is the lower side in FIGS. In addition, a groove portion having a substantially U-shaped cross section that substantially covers the ribs 72R and 72L fitted with the receiving metal fitting 76 is provided. In the covering member 77, slit-like fitting insertion holes 77P each having a length slightly larger than the width of the sealing fittings 75F and 75S are formed at four positions corresponding to the engagement pieces 76E of the receiving fitting 76, respectively. Surrounding walls 77F are formed to surround the metal fitting insertion hole 77P from the upper side, the lower side, and the outer side (the left side in FIGS. 25 and 26) in a substantially U shape in plan view. The peripheral wall 77F can accommodate metal fitting insertion portions 78F and 78S of the box cover 71 described later. As shown in FIG. 16, a screw insertion portion 77S is formed in the central portion of the covering member 77, and a screw-in portion (not shown) having a screw hole therein is integrally formed in the central portion of the inner rib 72R. A screw (or a broken screw) is screwed into the screw insertion portion 77S and the screwing portion with the protruding piece of the receiving metal piece 76 interposed therebetween, whereby the covering member 77 and the receiving member are received. A metal fitting 76 is fixed on the ribs 72R and 72L.

  As shown in FIG. 24, at one end edge of the box cover 71 (the left end edge in FIG. 24), the metal fittings are inserted into four places corresponding to the four metal fitting insertion holes 77P of the covering member 77, respectively. Portions 78F and 78S are provided. Of the four metal fitting insertion portions 78F and 78S, two metal fitting insertion portions (hereinafter also referred to as both metal fitting insertion portions) 78F at the upper end and the lower end are one end surface (left end surface in FIG. 24) of the box cover 71. Are integrally formed so as to project in a rectangular parallelepiped shape in which three surfaces of an upper side surface, a lower side surface, and an outer side surface (left side surface in FIG. 24) are configured by a peripheral wall having a substantially U-shape when viewed from the front. A partition wall parallel to the tip surface is formed slightly inward of the surface (left side surface in FIG. 24), and thereby penetrates in the front-rear direction between the tip surface and the partition wall, and is slightly larger than the width of the seal fitting 75F. A penetrating portion 781F that is vertically long and has a large vertical length is formed. Two metal fitting insertion portions (hereinafter, also referred to as a central metal fitting insertion portion) 78S between the both metal fitting insertion portions 78F are roughly similar to the both metal fitting insertion portions 78F by a peripheral wall having a generally U-shape in front view. The box cover 71 is integrally formed with one end face (left end face in FIG. 24) so as to protrude in the shape of a rectangular parallelepiped, and the box base 72 side (rear side in FIG. 24) end face is formed with a back side wall. However, a slit-shaped metal fitting insertion hole having a length slightly larger than the width of the sealing metal fitting 75S is formed in the distal end portion (the left end portion in FIG. 24) of the back side wall (see FIG. 24). Not shown). The front end surface wall constituting the front end surface (left side surface in FIG. 24) of the central metal fitting insertion portion 78S extends horizontally in parallel from the box base 72 side edge (rear side edge in FIG. 24) to the center. A slit cut is formed, and an elastic piece 781S is formed between both cuts. In the vicinity of the tip on the inner side surface of the elastic piece 781S, as shown in FIG. 25, there is formed an engaging projection 782S protruding in a trapezoidal cross-sectional shape that tapers on both the tip side and the opposite side. . As described above, the engagement protrusion 782S is formed in a tapered shape on both sides, so that it is easy to enter and exit the engagement hole 751S of the central seal fitting 75S as described later. In particular, when the central sealing metal fitting 75S is temporarily fixed as will be described later, the elastic piece 781S can be easily elastically deformed outward to receive the central sealing metal fitting 75S. Further, when the seal is pushed inward, the elastic piece 781S comes into contact with the peripheral wall 77F of the covering member 77, so that it cannot be elastically deformed outward unless the central seal fitting 75S is pushed firmly. This prevents the sealing operation from being performed carelessly. In order to make it difficult to push in the central seal fitting 75S in this way, the slope of the tapered surface of the engagement protrusion 782S of the elastic piece 781S may be changed. As shown in FIG. 24, horizontally extending guide ribs 783S are integrally formed on one end surface (left end surface in FIG. 24) of the box cover 71 inside the central metal fitting insertion portion 78S.

A bridging piece 81 is constructed by integral molding between the both-end metal fitting insertion part 78F and the central metal fitting insertion part 78S. Further, at the position between the two central metal fitting insertion portions 78S, the lid portion 83 having a U-shape extending in a side view and having upper and lower ends reinforced by stays is provided on one side end surface of the box cover 71 ( 24. When the first control board box 201A is closed as described above, the lid 83 passes the screw insertion portion 77S of the covering member 77 upward, downward, and It covers so that it may be enclosed from the back (front in FIG. 24), and as a result, the screw of the screw insertion portion 77S cannot be removed from the outside.

  After the first control board box 201A is closed as described above, a sealing fitting (hereinafter also referred to as a both-end sealing fitting) 75F is inserted from the both-end fitting insertion portion 78F, thereby one side of the first control board box 201A. The side edge (the left edge in FIG. 26) is sealed. The both-end sealing metal fittings 75F are made of a rectangular piece of metal plate, and a rectangular engagement hole 751F shown in FIG. As shown in FIG. 26, in a state where the first control board box 201A is closed, the both-end sealing metal fittings 75F are inserted into the through-holes 781F of the both-end metal fitting insertion parts 78F from the engagement hole 751F formation side, and the covering member When the metal fitting insertion hole 77P of 77 is also inserted into the inside of the groove portion between the ribs 72R and 72L in the box base 72, the engagement piece 76E of the receiving metal piece 76 is engaged in the engagement hole 751F and both ends. The seal fitting 75F cannot be pulled out, so that the seal fitting 75F is held in a posture that functions like a crown, and the box cover 71 and the box base 72 are slid so as to be shifted from each other to engage with the hook-like piece 73. The engagement state with the mating slot 74 cannot be released, and the first control board box 201A is sealed.

  As described above, sealing is performed by the both-end sealing metal fittings 75F at the positions of the both-end metal insertion parts 78F. After being sealed, the seal is made at the position of the central metal fitting insertion portion 78S at the stage where the seal is made again. That is, the both-end metal fitting insertion part 78F is used for the first sealing, and the central metal fitting insertion part 78S is used for the second sealing. FIGS. 16 to 26 show the situation from when the first seal is released until the first control board box 201A is closed again and sealed. In FIG. The insertion portion 78F is separated from the box cover 71 and remains on the box base 72 side (the separation operation will be described later).

  When the second sealing is performed, a sealing metal fitting (hereinafter also referred to as a central sealing metal fitting) 75S is inserted from the central metal fitting insertion portion 78S, whereby one side edge portion (FIG. The left edge in FIG. 26 is sealed again.

  As shown in FIGS. 16 and 25, the central sealing metal fitting 75S is a metal fitting having basically the same structure as the both-end sealing metal fitting 75F, and a rectangular engagement hole 751S is formed at one end. However, it is different in that the other end is bent at a right angle to form a pressing piece 752S. A notch 753S is formed at the tip edge of the pressing piece 752S. The central sealing metal fitting 75S is inserted into the central metal fitting insertion part 78S from the engagement hole 751S formation side with the pressing piece 752S facing inward (the right side in FIGS. 16 and 25), and almost entirely inside the central metal fitting insertion part 78S. 25 (a), the engagement protrusion 782S of the elastic piece 781S engages with the engagement hole 751S, whereby the central sealing metal fitting 75S is temporarily fixed at this position. The At this position, the central sealing metal fitting 75S is only on the box cover 71 side and does not reach the box base 72 side, and therefore the first control board box 201A is not sealed and can be freely opened and closed. . That is, the central sealing metal fitting 75S can be temporarily fixed and attached to the box cover 71 from the stage before using the central sealing metal fitting 75S.

As shown in FIG. 21, when the first control board box 201A is closed, when the pressing piece 752S of the central sealing fitting 75S is pushed into the central fitting insertion portion 78S as indicated by an arrow A3 in the drawing, this pressing is performed. The elastic piece 781S is elastically deformed outward by pressure to push the engagement protrusion 782S out of the engagement hole 751S to release the engagement state. On the other hand, the notch 753S of the pressure piece 752S is formed in the guide rib 783S in the central metal fitting insertion portion 78S. While being fitted and guided along this, the central sealing metal fitting 75S intrudes into the box base 72 side in the central metal fitting insertion part 78S. As shown in FIG. 25 (b), when the distal end portion of the central sealing metal fitting 75S is inserted into the metal fitting insertion hole 77P of the covering member 77 and enters the inner part of the groove portion between the ribs 72R and 72L in the box base 72, the above-mentioned As in the case of the both-end seal fitting 75F, the engagement piece 76E of the receiving fitting 76 is engaged in the engagement hole 751S so that the seal fitting 75S cannot be pulled out. As a result, the seal fitting 75S can be pulled out. It is held in a functional posture, and the box cover 71 and the box base 72 are slid so as to be shifted from each other, so that the engagement state between the hook-like piece 73 and the engagement slot 74 cannot be released, and the first control is performed. The substrate box 201A is sealed again.

  The edge part (FIGS. 11, 12 and 15) opposite to the metal insertion part 78F, 78S forming side edge part (left side edge part in FIGS. 11, 12 and 15) in the first control board box 201A. The right end edge portion in FIG. 2 is sealed by a break screw described later. The edge part (the right edge in FIGS. 11, 12 and 15) opposite to the metal insertion part 78F, 78S forming side edge (the left edge in FIGS. 11, 12, and 15) in the box cover 71 As shown in FIGS. 11, 12, and 15, fracture screw insertion portions 84 </ b> F are respectively provided at the upper end portion and the lower end portion of the section). As shown in FIG. 12, the breaking screw insertion portion 84F is rounded at the tip so as to form a U-shape in front view from one end surface (right end surface in FIG. 12) to the outside (right side in FIG. 12) of the box cover 71. A rear wall is provided at a position slightly inward from the rear side edge (the rear side edge in FIG. 12) of the peripheral wall 841 extending so as to be folded back, and the space in the peripheral wall 841 is divided into two parts in the front-rear direction. The outside (rear side in FIG. 12) is a fitting portion (not shown), and a partition wall 842 is provided on the inner side from the tip (right end in FIG. 12) in the space inside (front side in FIG. 12) from the back wall, The front end side of the partition wall 842 is a screw accommodating portion 843 and the opposite side is a fracture portion 844. As shown in FIG. 15, screw insertion holes 845 are formed in the inner wall of the screw accommodating portion 843. On one end edge (the right end edge in FIG. 12) of the box base 72, screwed portions 85F are provided at positions corresponding to the upper and lower broken screw insertion portions 84F. The threaded portion 85F is provided at the distal end portion of the extending portion that extends from the one side end surface (the right end surface in FIG. 12) of the box base 72 to the outside (the right side in FIG. 12) so as to be folded back. A cylindrical portion extending in the front-rear direction and provided with a screw hole therein is integrally formed.

  The breaking screw is a screw having a breaking portion that is broken when rotated at a predetermined high torque after being rotated and tightened with a torque required to be screwed and tightened (finally tightened). Specifically, for example, like a broken screw K shown in FIG. 10, the head K10 and the shaft K20 are formed, and the head K10 is formed so that the outer head K11 and the inner head K12 are juxtaposed in the axial direction. A rupture portion K13 having a tapered shape so as to be constricted is provided between the outer head portion K11 and the inner head portion K12. At the time of use, the screwdriver is fitted in the groove of the outer head K11 and rotated with a necessary torque, the shaft portion K20 is screwed into the screw hole of the fastening target member and finally tightened, and then the outer head K11 is tightened with a higher torque. When it is rotated, it breaks at the breaking portion K13 and the outer head K11 is detached. Thereafter, the breaking screw K cannot be rotated by the driver, and it is impossible to remove it.

When the box cover 71 is overlapped with the box base 72 so that the hook-like piece 73 is inserted into the engagement slot 74 as described above, the threaded portion 85F of the box base 72 is connected to the breaking screw insertion portion 84F of the box cover 71. In the fitting portion, it enters into the position corresponding to the breaking portion 844 and then slides so that the left and right ends of the box cover 71 and the box base 72 are aligned with each other so that the hook-like piece 73 is engaged with the engaging slot 74. When engaged, the threaded portion 85F slides to the tip side within the fitting portion of the breaking screw insertion portion 84F and comes to a position corresponding to the screw accommodating portion 843. In this state, by inserting a breaking screw from the screw accommodating portion 843 of the breaking screw insertion portion 84F and screwing it into the screwing portion 85F, and breaking the head of the breaking screw, the metal fitting insertion in the first control board box 201A is performed. 78F, 78S forming side edge (left edge in FIGS. 11, 12, and 15) and the opposite edge (right edge in FIGS. 11, 12, and 15) are sealed. .

  Further, the breaking screw insertion portion 84F side edge (the right edge in FIGS. 11, 12, and 15) of the first control board box 201A is configured to transmit and receive radio waves to and from the outside. The seal (sealing seal) 601 is also sealed. A rectangular protrusion 851 is provided on the edge of the first control board box 201A (the right edge in FIGS. 11, 12, and 15), and the rectangular protrusion 851 is the first protrusion 851. Protruding pieces having a vertically long rectangular shape congruent with each other are formed on the right edge portion of the box cover 71 and the box base 72 of the control board box 201A so as to protrude rightward. 72 is fitted and these protruding pieces are superposed. The seal seal 601 is affixed so as to straddle both the protruding pieces of the box cover 71 and the box base 72 in a state of being bent so as to have a U-shape in cross section.

  As shown in FIGS. 29 and 30, the seal seal 601 has a rectangular planar shape that can cover almost the entire three surfaces of the first control board box 201A except the upper and lower surfaces of the rectangular protrusion 851 in a bent state. As shown in FIG. 28, a base material layer 602, an adhesive material layer 603 and a release paper 604 are laminated, and an IC tag unit 605 is disposed on the adhesive material layer 603.

  The base material layer 602 is made of a resin film such as a polyester film, and has an appropriate brittleness that is partially broken by the stress accompanying the force to peel off the seal seal 601 and is suitable for the adhesive that constitutes the adhesive material layer 603. It is discolored by the heat | fever of the temperature (for example, 50 degreeC or more) in which the adhesive force of organic solvents, such as toluene which has solubility, or an adhesive layer falls. Accordingly, if the solvent is applied or heat is applied to illegally peel off the seal seal 601 from the rectangular projection 851 of the first control board box 201A, the base material layer 602 is discolored and is a trace of fraud. Has come to remain.

  The pressure-sensitive adhesive constituting the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 603 has such an adhesive force that it is peeled off from the base material layer 602 when it is peeled off after being applied. Therefore, when the seal seal 601 is peeled off, it is difficult to apply it again, and a part of the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 603 remains on the adherend side. Thereby, a trace can be left when the seal seal 601 is illegally peeled off.

  The IC tag unit 605 includes an IC chip 605a and an antenna 605b, and the IC chip 605a is disposed near the center of the long antenna 605b extending in a strip shape. The IC chip 605a is formed as an integrated circuit and has a control unit and a memory area. ID information as identification data is stored in the memory area. The antenna 605b is formed of a thin metal layer such as aluminum, and the thickness thereof is thinner than that of the IC chip 605a. The antenna 605b is manufactured as an antenna pattern so that the resonance frequency is a constant frequency such as 2.45 GHz.

The ID information stored in the memory area of the IC chip 605a is configured to be called by the control unit and transmitted from the antenna 605b, and the ID information transmitted from the antenna 605b is formed as a reader / writer. Can be received and read. Specifically, a call is made from the scanner with a weak radio wave having the frequency, and an induction electromagnetic field is formed by the radio wave. When the scanner is brought close to the antenna 605b to such an extent that the antenna 605b is located in the induction electromagnetic field, an electromotive force is generated in the antenna 605b by electromagnetic induction. In the IC chip 605a, using this electromotive force as a power source, the ID information stored in the memory area is called by the control unit and transmitted from the antenna 605b, and the ID information thus transmitted can be received and read by the scanner. It can be done.

  As shown in FIG. 30, the IC tag unit 605 (antenna 605 b) has a diagonal corner side from one corner side of the base material layer 602 to the base material layer 602 on which the adhesive layer 603 is formed. It is arrange | positioned diagonally over. Specifically, the antenna 605 b is not on the diagonal line of the base material layer 602, and the longitudinal direction of the antenna 605 b intersects with both diagonal lines of the base material layer 602. In this case, the longitudinal direction of the long antenna 605 b intersects with all the side directions of the base material layer 602. The antenna 605b also straddles both projecting pieces as the seal seal 601 is applied across both projecting pieces constituting the rectangular projecting portion 851.

  The seal seal 601 is formed with a large number of antenna cuts 606 arranged at equal intervals along the longitudinal direction of the antenna 605b. The antenna cut 606 is a straight line extending in a direction substantially orthogonal to the longitudinal direction of the antenna 605b, and penetrates from the surface side of the base material layer 602 to the back side of the adhesive layer 603 (FIG. 29). (The antenna cut 606 is not shown). Incidentally, the direction in which the antenna cut 606 extends is a direction substantially orthogonal to the longitudinal direction of the antenna 605b, and thus intersects with all the side directions of the base material layer 602. Further, the antenna cut 606 is configured to be slightly hung on the antenna 605b. In this case, since the antenna 605b is not divided by the antenna cut 606, there is no adverse effect on the transmission of the ID information. Also, the antenna cut 606 located on one side of the antenna 605b and the antenna cut 606 located on the other side are offset so that the antenna cut 606 does not line up in a straight line across the antenna 605b. . Specifically, the antenna cuts 606 located on one side of the antenna 605b and the antenna cuts 606 located on the other side are formed alternately along the longitudinal direction of the antenna 605b.

  When the sealing seal 601 is to be peeled off from the rectangular protrusion 851 of the first control board box 201A, in order not to damage the sealing seal 601 as much as possible, the stress accompanying the peeling force is caused by the stress of the base material layer 602. It is necessary to peel in the direction along the short side of the seal seal 601 so that it does not concentrate locally with respect to the corner or concentrate on the bent portion of the seal seal 601. This direction extends the antenna 605b. It is a direction that intersects the direction. Therefore, the stress accompanying the peeling force concentrates on the end of the antenna cut 606 located around the antenna 605b, and the base layer 602 is broken due to a tear starting from the antenna cut 606. Accordingly, the antenna 605b is divided. When the antenna 605b is divided, the ID information is not transmitted from the antenna 605b, so that the ID information cannot be read by the scanner. Therefore, after the seal sticker 601 is peeled off from the rectangular protrusion 851 of the first control board box 201A as cleanly as possible to open the first control board box 201A and the control board 80 is cheated, the first control board Even if the seal sticker 601 is pasted again so as to seal the box 201A, the fraudulent act can be easily found.

  Corner cuts 607 penetrating from the surface side of the base material layer 602 to the back side of the adhesive layer 603 are formed at the four corners of the seal seal 601. Specifically, the corner cut 607 is formed in an L shape so as to be along the corner inside the corner of the seal seal 601. Therefore, even if the seal seal 601 is not peeled in the direction along one side but is peeled from the corner side (that is, obliquely with respect to the side of the seal seal 601), the seal seal 601 is broken from the corner cut 607. Will occur. Thereby, the trace of cheating can be left.

  As shown in FIG. 29, a large number of outer edge notches 608 are formed on the outer edge of the seal seal 601 from the outer end toward the inner side. These outer edge notches 608 are V-shaped with an acute angle that opens from the inside to the outside, and are formed at equal intervals along the outer periphery of the seal seal 601. Therefore, if the sealing seal 601 is peeled off from the rectangular protrusion 851 of the first control board box 201A, the stress accompanying the peeling force concentrates on the inner end of the outer edge notch 608 and breaks into the sealing seal 601. Occurs. Thereby, it is possible to leave a trace that the seal seal 601 has been peeled off, and it is possible to easily find out that an illegal act has been performed on the control board 80.

  However, in the configuration in which the outer edge notch 608 is formed as described above, when the seal seal 601 is peeled from the entire side of the seal seal 601 along the direction orthogonal to the side, the seal seal 601 is hardly broken. That is, when the seal seal 601 is peeled off from the corner, or when the gap between adjacent outer edge cuts 608 on the outer edge of the seal seal 601 is peeled off, stress due to the peeling force is concentrated on the inner end of the few outer edge cuts 608. For this reason, the seal seal 601 is likely to break through the outer edge notch 608, whereas when peeling along the direction perpendicular to the one side of the rectangular seal seal 601, the stress associated with the peeling force Is distributed to the inner end portions of the large number of outer edge cuts 608, and the seal seal 601 is hardly broken through the outer edge cuts 608. Therefore, when the seal seal 601 is peeled off by the latter method, the outer edge notch 608 may not leave an improper trace. However, as described above, since the antenna 605b is disposed obliquely so as to extend from one corner side of the seal seal 601 to the corner portion in the diagonal direction, the side from the entire side of the seal seal 601 Even if the seal seal 601 is peeled off along the direction orthogonal to the antenna 605b, the antenna 605b is divided. Thereby, fraudulent acts can be easily found.

  As shown in FIG. 29, an ink application unit 609, an identification information unit 610, and a model information unit 611 are provided on the surface of the base material layer 602. The ink application unit 609 is applied with special ink that shows a pattern when irradiated with light of a specific wavelength such as ultraviolet rays. A plurality of numbers are described in the identification information portion 610, and the numbers described in the identification information portion 610 are different for each gaming machine. In this case, the numbers described in the identification information unit 610 are set in association with the ID information stored in the IC chip 605a. For example, when the ID information is registered as a number, the sum of the number of the ID information and the number described in the identification information unit 610 is the same in a plurality of gaming machines installed in a gaming hall or the like. Is set to In the model information section 611, a model name of the gaming machine, a manufacturer name of the gaming machine, and the like are described.

  Here, the upper region R1 in FIG. 29 of the seal seal 601 is formed with the intention of being attached to the front side surface (surface opposite to the overlapping surface) of the protruding piece of the box cover 71, as shown in FIG. It has become an area. Therefore, since the ink application unit 609 and the identification information unit 610 can be visually recognized from the position facing the first control board box 201A, the confirmation operation of the ink application unit 609 and the identification information unit 610 can be easily performed. it can. 29, the intermediate region R2 in FIG. 29 of the seal seal 601 is attached to the projecting end surfaces of the projecting pieces of the box cover 71 and the box base 72 (that is, projecting end surfaces of the rectangular projecting portions 851), as shown in FIG. This is a region formed with the intention of Therefore, the contents described in the model information section 611 can be confirmed without removing the first control board box 201A. The lower region R3 is a region formed with the intention of being attached to the front side surface (surface opposite to the overlapping surface) of the protruding piece of the box base 72.

By providing the ink application part 609 and the identification information part 610 as described above, when the first control board box 201A is illegally exchanged, it can be easily found that the exchange has been made. it can. That is, even if the replaced improper board box cannot be distinguished from the regular first control board box 201A in appearance, it is confirmed by irradiating the ink application part 609 with specific light and confirming that no pattern appears. You can discover that it has been exchanged. Further, even if an IC tag unit is provided on the sticker of the fraudulent board box, the ID information is read by the scanner, and the information is confirmed by confirming the information and the information in the identification information unit 610, so that the exchange is found. be able to.

  According to the above configuration, since the seal seal 601 having the IC tag unit 605 is pasted so as to straddle the box cover 71 that accommodates the control board 80 and the box base 72, the first control board box 201A is opened. In order to do this, it is necessary to peel off the sealing seal 601 from the rectangular protrusion 851 and release the screw fixing of the rectangular protrusion 851. In this case, when the sealing seal 601 is peeled off from the corner, the stress accompanying the peeling force is concentrated on the corner portion of the base material layer 602, and the base material layer 602 has appropriate brittleness. The base material layer 602 is greatly destroyed. Further, since the outer edge of the seal seal 601 is formed with an outer edge notch 608 that opens in an acute V shape from the inner side toward the outer end portion, the seal seal 601 is peeled off when the seal seal 601 is peeled off from the corner. The stress accompanying the force concentrates on the inner end portion (pointed inward) of the outer edge notch 608, and the base material layer 602 is more easily broken. Further, since the seal seal 601 is affixed to the rectangular protrusion 851 of the first control board box 201A by being bent in a substantially U-shape, if the seal seal 601 is peeled from the corner, the peeling force The stress accompanying this is concentrated on the bent portion, and similarly, the base material layer 602 is largely broken. In this case, the trace that the seal seal 601 has been illegally peeled off, that is, fraud has been performed on the control board 80, remains clearly. Therefore, a person who intends to cheat on the control board 80 peels off the stress from the peeling force from the entire side of the seal seal 601 along the direction perpendicular to the side, to the entire side of the base material layer 602. The base member is dispersed so as not to be destroyed as much as possible. However, when the antenna 605b is arranged so that its longitudinal direction intersects all the side directions of the seal seal 601, when the seal seal 601 is peeled from the entire side, the antenna 605b intersects with the longitudinal direction of the antenna 605b. Destruction occurs in the direction to do. And since the antenna 605b is elongate and the dimension of the direction which cross | intersects the longitudinal direction of the antenna 605b is short, the antenna 605b will be parted in the position where destruction occurred. In this case, the manager or the like of the game hall cannot check the ID information stored in the IC chip 605a by the scanner, so that it is possible to easily and surely find out that fraud has been performed on the main board.

  Further, as described above, the antenna 605b is arranged on one side of the base material layer 602 by arranging the antenna 605b so as to extend from one corner side of the base material layer 602 to the diagonal corner side thereof. The length dimension of the antenna 605b is ensured to be large as compared with the configuration provided along. Therefore, it is possible to provide many opportunities for the antenna 605b to be divided when the seal seal 601 is peeled off.

Further, by adopting a configuration in which the IC chip 605a is arranged at the substantially center in the longitudinal direction of the antenna 605b, the antenna 605b is arranged from one corner side of the seal seal 601 to the diagonal corner side as described above. In this configuration, the position of the IC chip 605a is near the center of the seal seal 601. Therefore, it is possible to suppress the sealing seal 601 from being easily peeled off due to the thickness of the IC chip 605a. That is, since the IC chip 605a has a predetermined thickness, a gap is generated between the periphery of the IC chip 605a in the seal seal 601 and the rectangular protrusion 851 of the first control board box 201A. In this case, if the IC chip 605a is on the outer edge side of the seal sticker 601, the seal sticker 601 is easily peeled off by placing a finger in the gap between the outer edge and the rectangular protrusion 851 of the first control board box 201A. On the other hand, since the position of the IC chip 605a is near the center of the seal seal 601, the outer edge of the seal seal 601 and the rectangular protrusion 851 of the first control board box 201A due to the thickness of the IC chip 605a There is no gap between them.

  Further, by forming the antenna cut 606 around the antenna 605b in the base layer 602, the base layer 602 is broken from the end of the antenna cut 606 when the seal seal 601 is peeled off. As a result, the antenna 605b is also destroyed, and the antenna 605b is divided at that position. Therefore, the antenna 605b is easily divided, and the discovery when fraud is performed on the main board can be more reliably performed. In particular, by making the antenna cut 606 into a linear cut extending in a direction intersecting the longitudinal direction of the antenna 605b and all the side directions of the base material layer 602, the seal seal 601 is peeled in a direction along one side thereof. In this case, the stress accompanying the peeling force tends to concentrate on the antenna side end of the antenna cut 606. Thereby, when the seal seal 601 is peeled off in the direction along the one side, the antenna 605b can be more reliably divided. Note that since the antenna cut 606 is formed up to the position reaching the antenna 605b, the antenna 605b is easily cut off when the sealing seal 601 is illegally peeled off. Also, when the antenna cuts 606 are formed so as not to line up on a straight line across the antenna 605b, for example, when there is no relation with fraud such as when the sealing sticker 601 is attached at the time of manufacturing a gaming machine It is possible to prevent the antenna notch 606 from being connected to the antenna 605b and the antenna 605b from being divided accordingly.

  Further, by forming L-shaped corner notches 607 penetrating from the surface side of the base material layer 602 to the back side of the adhesive material layer 603 at the four corners of the seal seal 601, the seal seal 601 is formed. When peeled from the corner side, the stress accompanying the peeling force concentrates on the end of the corner cut 607, and the seal cut 601 is broken from the corner cut 607. Therefore, the trace that fraud has been performed on the control board 80 remains on the seal seal 601, and it can be easily found that the fraud has been performed. Further, even if the seal seal 601 is peeled off in a direction along one side of the seal seal 601 in order to avoid the destruction of the seal seal 601 via the corner cut 607, the antenna 605b is divided as described above. Fraud can be easily detected.

  In addition, when the solvent which shows the solubility with respect to the adhesive which comprises the adhesive material layer 603 is applied to the sealing seal | sticker 601 or applied, the base material layer 602 is made into the structure which discolors, and an adhesive material layer with a solvent is used. Even if a fraudulent act is performed on the control board 80 by removing the seal 601 without weakening the adhesive strength of 603 and separating the antenna 605b, the fraudulent act can be easily found. Similarly, when the heat of a predetermined temperature or higher is applied to the seal seal 601, the base material layer 602 is similarly discolored so that the adhesive material layer 603 can be bonded by applying heat of the predetermined temperature or higher. Even if a fraudulent act is performed on the control board 80 by removing the sealing sticker 601 without weakening the force and dividing the antenna 605b, the fraudulent act can be easily found.

With the above-described configuration, the first control board box 201A has a total of five locations including two end fitting insertion portions 78F, two break screw insertion portions 84F, and rectangular protrusions 851 in the manufacturing stage. Sealing is performed by a sealing metal fitting 75F, a break screw, and a sealing seal 601. When opening by inspection or the like, the both-end metal fitting insertion portion 78F is cut with a nipper or the like at the peripheral wall and the bridging piece 81 inside the penetration portion 781F as shown by a virtual line L1 in FIG. 84F is cut at the breaking portion 844 and separated from the box cover 71, and the sealing seal 601 is peeled or broken to release the sealing. Thereafter, when the first control board box 201A is sealed again, as described above, it is sealed by the central sealing metal fittings 75S at the two central metal fitting insertion parts 78S, and when it is opened again, the central metal fitting insertion part 78S. Is released in the same manner as in the case of the both-end metal fitting insertion part 78F.

  As described above, since the first control board box 201A is configured to be sealed again, incidental fraud can also be effectively suppressed. For example, when the initial sealing is released and the control board in the first control board box 201A is replaced with an unauthorized board, the unauthorized board is removed after the first control board box 201A is removed by unauthorized detection. There may be incidental fraudulent actions such as returning to the control board so that the illegal situation cannot be grasped, but by sealing again the first control board box 201A replaced with the illegal board. The incidental frauds as described above can be made difficult.

  As shown in FIGS. 11 to 14, the second end of the engagement mechanism is provided on the metal insertion portion 78F, 78S forming side edge (the left edge in FIGS. 11 and 12) in the first control board box 201A. A connection sealing portion 86 that is a mechanism portion is provided. The connecting sealing portion 86 has a substantially vertically long rectangular parallelepiped outer shape, and is configured to load the inner block 86N into the outer block 86E as shown in FIGS.

  The outer block 86E is formed in a substantially vertically long box shape, and as shown in FIG. 33, one side surface (side surface of the game board 30) is substantially opened to form a receiving opening 861 (hereinafter, the receiving opening 861 is formed). The side is the rear side). As shown in FIGS. 31 and 32, the right side surface portion adjacent to the rear side surface where the receiving opening 861 is formed extends vertically from a height position slightly below the upper end to a height position slightly above the lower end, A substantially vertically long rectangular parallelepiped screw fixing portion 862 extending back and forth from the front end to a position slightly rearward from the center is integrally formed so as to protrude inward and outward. The space inside the screw fixing portion 862 is divided into four equal parts in the vertical direction with a partition wall, and a back wall (not shown) is formed slightly inside from the rear end. Four screw accommodating portions 862H are formed on the upper and lower sides, and four fitting portions (not shown) are formed on the upper and lower sides, respectively. Screw insertion holes (not shown) are formed in the back walls of the respective screw accommodating portions 862H. In the screw fixing portion 862, the upper wall, the lower wall, and the left side wall of the portion that is inward (left side) of the right side surface of the outer block 86E are slightly more than the rear end position of the outer block 86E as shown in FIG. The rear end edges of the upper wall and the lower wall of the portion extending to the rear position and projecting outward (right side) from the right side surface of the outer block 86E extend upward and downward, respectively, as shown in FIG. And extend rearward from the upper edge and the lower edge, respectively. At the center of the inner side surface (left side surface) 862N on the left side wall of the screw fixing portion 862, a partition rib 863 extending in the front-rear direction is formed as shown in FIG. A concave / convex portion (not shown) corresponding to the concave / convex portion 928 of the insertion piece 923 in the hinge member 90 described later is formed on the inner wall surface of the outer block 86E that is continuous with the inner back end of the left side wall of the screw fixing portion 862. Has been.

In addition, on the front side surface of the outer block 86E, screw take-out portions 869R, 869L, and 869B are respectively provided at a total of three locations, two on the left and right on the upper end and one on the right on the lower end. Among these, the right upper screw extraction portion 869R has a rectangular through hole formed in the front side wall constituting the front side surface of the outer block 86E, and the front side from the center of each of the upper side, the lower side, and the right side of the through hole. Each of the extending pieces extends integrally, and a projecting portion having a shape that the extending ends of the extending pieces extend at right angles toward the center and form a T shape in front view is integrally formed on the front side wall. The lower right screw extraction portion 869B is configured in the same manner as the upper right screw extraction portion 869R, and the upper left screw extraction portion 869L is configured to be symmetrical with the upper right screw extraction portion 869R. ing. These screw take-out portions 869R, 869L, and 869B are for taking out spare breaking screws (not shown) housed in screw housing cavities 870R, 870L, and 870B of an inner block 86N, which will be described later. An extending piece extending in a T shape from the center is cut with a nipper or the like to cut out the protruding portion, open the through hole, and take out the breaking screw from the inside. At this time, since the extending piece extending in a T shape from the center in front view extends forward from the front side of the outer block 86E, it is easy to cut, and the upper right and upper left screw extraction portions 869R, 869L are respectively Since the right and left extension pieces extend outward from the center in the front view in opposite directions (to the right and left, respectively), the right / left extension of one screw extraction portion 869R / 869L The protruding piece can be easily cut without the other screw extraction portion 869L / 869R being in the way.

  The inner block 86N corresponds to the internal shape of the receiving opening 861 of the outer block 86E, and the upper and lower ends of a rectangular parallelepiped extending slightly upward and downward extend to one side (right side) at right angles, respectively. It is a substantially hollow member formed into an outer shape of a U-shape (a U-shape symmetrical shape). Only the front portion of the inner block 86N is substantially open, and corresponding to the three screw extraction portions 869R, 869L, and 869B of the outer block 86E, screw housing cavities 870R, 870L and 870B are formed, respectively. All of the screw receiving cavities 870R, 870L, and 870B have a rectangular cross section and extend in the front-rear direction, the front end is opened, and the rear end is closed by the back wall of the inner block 86N. The screw accommodating cavities 870R, 870L, and 870B are configured to accommodate spare breaking screws (not shown).

  A flange 865 having an outer periphery substantially congruent with the outer periphery of the rear surface of the outer block 86E extends from the upper edge, the lower edge and the left edge of the rear surface of the inner block 86N. The front end surface of the upper and lower extension portions in the inner block 86N extends horizontally toward the front (right) and extends forward from the front end to form a generally saddle shape in plan view, and a tapered front surface at the front end portion. In addition, engaging pieces 866 are formed integrally with each other, each having a vertical rear surface and having a trapezoidal shape in a side view and formed with an engaging protrusion protruding downward or upward toward the center in the height direction.

  A backing metal fitting 868 is attached and fixed to a central side surface 867 extending between the upper and lower extending portions of the inner block 86N. The backing metal fitting 868 has a configuration in which folding pieces 868F are provided by folding back one end of one metal plate, and engagement pieces 868E are formed at two upper and lower portions, respectively. The engagement piece 868E is formed by cutting a metal plate into a shape that extends from the rear side toward the front side and is folded back into a U shape, and causes the inner part of the cut to be inclined slightly toward the outside. Yes. The backing metal fitting 868 is superposed and fixed on the central side surface 867 so that the folded piece 868F is fitted from the front to the front edge of the wall constituting the central side surface 867 of the inner block 86N.

  The inner block 86N to which the backing metal fitting 868 is attached accommodates spare breaking screws (not shown) in the screw accommodating cavities 870R, 870L, and 870B, respectively, and as shown in FIG. 67, the receiving opening of the outer block 86E. The coupling sealing portion 86 is configured by being inserted into the 861 and locked and fixed by engaging the engaging piece 866 with the stepped surface portion 862S. In this state, the left side surface 862N of the screw fixing portion 862 in the outer block 86E and the central side surface 867 of the inner block 86N are spaced apart from each other by a predetermined distance. The insertion port is formed so as to extend long in the vertical direction and have a depth in the front and rear.

The connection sealing portion 86 is attached and fixed to the metal fitting insertion portions 78F and 78S forming side edge portions (left side edge portions in FIGS. 11 and 12) in the first control board box 201A. As shown in FIG. 16, a screw-in part 88 and a fitting part 89 are provided on one side edge part (left side edge part in FIG. 16) of the box base 72. The threaded portion 88 is integrally formed at the center in the height direction of one end surface (the left end surface in FIG. 16) of the box base 72 through a horizontally extending extension piece. It has a configuration in which four cylindrical bodies 88P having the front and rear are juxtaposed in the vertical direction with a slight gap therebetween. The fitting portion 89 has rectangular end plates 891T and 891B that are rectangular in front view from the rear end edge of one side end surface (left end surface in FIG. 16) of the box base 72 slightly above and slightly below the screwing portion 88, respectively. The upper end of the upper end plate 891T extends and bends in a frontal view along the upper ends of the upper end edge and the tip end edge (left end edge in FIG. 16), and the lower end is inward (right side in FIG. 16). A fitting piece 892T having a bent shape extends forward, and a fitting piece 892B which is vertically symmetric with the upper fitting piece 892T is formed on the lower end plate 891B. . The connection sealing portion 86 has the receiving block 861 forming side (rear side) of the outer block 86E loaded with the inner block 86N facing rearward and the screw fixing portion 862 forming side (right side) of the outer block 86E facing rightward. The upper and lower fitting pieces 864 of the outer block 86E are fitted into the upper and lower fitting pieces 892T and 892B of the fitting portion 89, respectively, so that one end edge portion (the left side in FIG. (End edge part) from the front. As a result, the four cylindrical bodies 88P of the screw-in portion 88 are fitted into the four fitting portions of the screw fixing portion 862 in the outer block 86E, respectively. In this state, a breaking screw is screwed from any one of the screw receiving portions 862H of the screw fixing portion 862, and the coupling sealing portion 86 is sealed to the box base 72 by breaking the head of the breaking screw. It is fixed with. In this fixed state, the outer block 86E of the connecting sealing portion 86 is fixed to the box base 72 by the screw fixing portion 862, but the inner block 86N also has the engagement piece 866 on the end plates 891T and 891B of the box base 72. Therefore, it is impossible to pull out backward, and therefore, the outer block 86E is sealed.
In addition, “sealing” means that the fixed state cannot be released without leaving a trace, and may be fixed using a break screw as described above, or in addition to this For example, fixing using a screw called “1WAY screw” that rotates only in one direction, applying a seal seal, and the like are all implied.

  Since the connecting sealing portion 86 is fixed in a sealed state by the breaking screw as described above, for example, when it is necessary to remove the first control board box 201A, the cylindrical body 88P of the screwing portion 88 is used. The sealing state can be released by cutting off. Thereafter, when fixing the connection sealing portion 86 to the first control board box 201A again, a spare fracture screw (not shown) accommodated in any of the screw accommodation cavities 870R, 870L, and 870B of the inner block 86N. Are removed from the screw extraction portions 869R, 869L, and 869B of the outer block 86E and screwed into any of the three unused screw storage portions 862H to be broken. Thus, sealing and releasing can be repeated up to a total of four times by sealing and fixing with one rupture screw with one cylindrical body 88P per sealing.

  In the state where the connection sealing portion 86 is fixed as described above, the back surface that is the rear end of the connection sealing portion 86 is substantially the same as the back surface of the box base 72 that is the rear end of the first control board box 201A. On the other hand, the screw take-out portions 869R, 869L, and 869B of the outer block 86E that is the front end of the connection sealing portion 86 are not protruded rearward, but the box cover 71 that is the front end of the first control board box 201A. It is located slightly behind the front face so that it does not protrude forward. That is, the thickness in the front-rear direction of the connection sealing portion 86 including the screw take-out portions 869R, 869L, and 869B is smaller than the thickness in the front-rear direction of the first control board box 201A. It is provided without projecting forward or backward.

The connection sealing portion 86 is connected to the hinge member 90 as shown in FIGS. As shown in FIGS. 41 and 42, the hinge member 90 has a configuration in which a movable portion 92 is rotatably connected to a fixed portion 91. The fixing portion 91 is formed by bending a metal plate extending in a substantially band shape into a U-shape when viewed from the side to form upper and lower arm metal pieces 911T and 911B, respectively. Each is drilled. As shown in FIGS. 34 to 40, a ball assembly plate 460 is fixed to the lower portion of the back surface of the game board 30. The ball assembly board 460 is made of a transparent resin that extends horizontally from the vicinity of the left end of the game board 30 to the vicinity of the right end. This is a general plate-like body, and a discharge passage for receiving the game ball that has entered the winning device and guiding it downward is integrally formed. As shown in FIGS. 41 and 42, a hollow base portion 460B protruding in a square shape (a shape obtained by slightly deforming a quadrangular prism) is formed at the left end portion of the spherical aggregate plate 460. The base portion 460B Two slits are formed in the top and bottom of the top and bottom surfaces. The fixing portion 91 is fixed to the base portion 460B so that the arm pieces 911T and 911B protrude from the inside of the base portion 460B to the outside through the slits. The fixing portion 91 cannot be removed from the outside.

  41 and 42, the movable portion 92 is formed by bending a metal plate. One end edge of the substantially rectangular main body piece 921 is provided with an intermediate piece 922 from the front end edge in FIG. 41 and FIG. 41 and 42 so as to be bent at right angles in the right direction, and the insertion piece 923 is bent from the extension end to the front side in FIGS. 41 and 42 opposite to the main body piece 921 at right angles. Thus, the main body piece 921, the intermediate piece 922, and the insertion piece 923 are formed so as to be continuous while being bent in an S shape in a plan view. From the rear end in FIGS. 41 and 42 at one end edge adjacent to the edge continuous with the intermediate piece 922 of the main body piece 921 at the lower end edge in FIG. 41 and FIG. 42 opposite to the intermediate piece 922 side, The upper shaft support piece 924T extends so as to be bent at a right angle in the same direction as the intermediate piece 922, and a shaft insertion hole is formed at the tip of the upper shaft support piece 923T. One side of the intermediate piece 922 that is adjacent to the edges that are continuous with the main body piece 921 and the insertion piece 923, respectively, on the same side as the upper shaft support piece 924T formation side. The portion further extends, and extends from the extended end so that the lower shaft support piece 924B is bent at a right angle on the same side as the main body piece 921 side in FIGS. 41 and 42, and the upper shaft support piece 924T And a shaft insertion hole is formed at the tip portion.

  The tip edges of the arm metal pieces 911T and 911B in the fixed portion 91 are formed in a semicircular shape that hardly interferes with the rotation of the movable portion 92, and the tip edges of the upper shaft support pieces 924T in the movable portion 92 are also suitable for rotation. Although it has a circular shape, the lower shaft support piece 924B has a rectangular shape, and the vicinity of the ends of both side edge portions has a V-shape in plan view and is outside (the lower side in FIGS. 41 and 42). As a result, the right side locking projection 925R and the left side locking projection 925L projecting outward (downward in FIGS. 41 and 42) are formed in a substantially triangular pyramid shape.

  The insertion piece 923 in the movable portion 92 is provided with rectangular engagement holes 926 so as to be juxtaposed on both sides (upper and lower sides in FIGS. 41 and 42), and the distal end edge of the insertion piece 923 A notch 927 extending in the form of a slit from the center to the vicinity of the edge continuous with the intermediate piece 922 through both the engagement holes 926 is formed. Further, an uneven portion 928 is formed on the inner side (lower side in FIGS. 41 and 42) of the leading edge of the insertion piece 923 so that convex portions arranged on both sides (up and down in FIGS. 41 and 42) protrude. Has been.

  The upper shaft support piece 924T and the lower shaft support piece 924B in the movable portion 92 are overlapped with the upper and lower arm metal pieces 911T and 911B in the fixed portion 91 from above, respectively, and the rotation shaft 93 is inserted into the shaft insertion hole. As a result, the movable part 92 is pivotally connected to the fixed part 91. A coil spring 931 is externally fitted to the rotating shaft 93 and urges the lower shaft support piece 924B to be pressed onto the lower arm metal piece 911B. Further, in this pivoted state, the upper end portion of the rotating shaft 93 protrudes slightly above the upper arm metal piece 911T so that a margin is formed, thereby allowing the movable portion 92 to move to the coil spring 931. It can be moved so as to be shifted upward with respect to the fixed portion 91 against the urging force.

  With the above configuration, the hinge member 90 is configured with a temporary holding mechanism that can hold the hinge member 90 at a predetermined angular position within the rotation range, as shown in FIGS.

  When the movable portion 92 of the hinge member 90 is turned inward (the right side in FIGS. 43 to 66), the right engaging projection 925R of the lower shaft support piece 924B resists the urging force of the coil spring 931. Then, while moving so as to push upward, it rides on the arm metal piece 911B from the inner end edge (the right end edge in FIGS. 43 to 66) of the lower arm metal piece 911B in the fixing portion 91, and thereafter When the movable part 92 is moved while sliding on the armor piece 911B and the movable part 92 is rotated to the maximum inside (the right side in FIGS. 43 to 66) as shown in FIGS. 48 and 50, the arm metal piece 911B falls off from the outer edge (the left edge in FIGS. 43 to 66) outward (left), and thereafter the coil spring 931 By being pressed downward by the force, it is held in a state of being engaged with the outer edge (the left edge in FIGS. 43 to 66) of the arm metal piece 911B. Does not rotate back from this position in the opposite direction, and is therefore temporarily held at this position. At this position, the movable portion 92 is in a state of being folded inward without protruding outward (leftward in FIGS. 43 to 66) or backward (forward in FIGS. 43 to 66). Therefore, this position is suitable for transporting and storing before mounting the substrate box, and therefore this position is referred to as a “storage position” in this specification.

  When the movable portion 92 in the storage position is rotated so as to return in the reverse direction, the right side locking projection 925R of the lower shaft support piece 924B again becomes the outer edge of the arm metal piece 911B (the left side end in FIGS. 43 to 66). It rides on the arm metal piece 911B from the edge, and then moves while sliding on the arm metal piece 911B. As shown in FIGS. 51 to 58, the movable portion 92 is rearward (in FIGS. 43 to 66). When it comes to a position that protrudes straight forward, the right side locking projection 925R has an inner edge (the right edge in FIGS. 43 to 66) of the arm piece 911B as shown in FIGS. ) From the inside to the right (right side) and thereafter pressed downward by the biasing force of the coil spring 931 to engage with the inner edge (the right edge in FIGS. 43 to 66) of the arm metal piece 911B. Keep At the same time, the left side locking projection 925L of the lower shaft support piece 924B comes to a position where it abuts on the outer edge of the arm metal piece 911B (the left side edge in FIGS. 43 to 66). It is held in an engaged state. That is, the left locking projection 925L and the right locking projection 925R of the lower shaft support piece 924B are engaged with each other so as to sandwich the arm metal piece 911B from both sides, and the lower shaft support piece 924B is in the same direction as the arm metal piece 911B ( The posture extends rearward (forward in FIGS. 43 to 66). Thus, unless an external force is applied, the movable portion 92 does not rotate inward or outward from this position, and is therefore temporarily held at this position. This position is an attachment position where the first control board box 201A is attached as will be described later.

When the movable portion 92 in the mounting position is rotated outward (left side in FIGS. 43 to 66), the left engaging protrusion 925L of the lower shaft support piece 924B resists the urging force of the coil spring 931. Then, while moving it so as to push it upward, it rides on the arm metal piece 911B from the outer edge (the left edge in FIGS. 43 to 66) of the lower arm metal piece 911B, and thereafter, the arm metal piece 911B When the movable portion 92 moves to the maximum extent to the outside (left side in FIGS. 43 to 66) as shown in FIGS. 59 to 66, the left locking projection 925L is moved to the position shown in FIGS. As shown in FIG. 66, the arm metal piece 911B falls off inward (rightward) from the inner edge (the right edge in FIGS. 43 to 66), and thereafter downwards due to the biasing force of the coil spring 931. Pressure By being attached, the arm piece 911B is held in engagement with the inner edge (the right edge in FIGS. 43 to 66), so that the movable portion 92 is reversed from this position unless an external force is applied. It does not rotate back in the direction and is therefore temporarily held in this position. This position is a position when the first control board box 201A is opened in a state where the first control board box 201A is attached. For this reason, this position is referred to as an “open position”.

  The first control board box 201A is attached from the back side of the game board 30 as shown in FIGS. At this time, as shown in FIGS. 39 and 40, the connection sealing portion 86 fixed to the one side edge portion of the first control board box 201A inserts the insertion piece 923 in the movable portion 92 of the hinge member 90 into the insertion opening. It is connected and fixed to the hinge member 90 so as to be inserted into 86S.

  When the insertion piece 923 of the hinge member 90 is inserted into the insertion opening 86S of the connection sealing portion 86, the insertion piece 923 introduces the partition rib 863 formed in the insertion opening 86S into the notch 927. When the distal end reaches the inner depth of the insertion port 86S without interfering with the partition rib 863, the uneven portion 928 at the distal end edge is fitted into the uneven portion in the outer block 86E. Thus, almost the entire insertion piece 923 fits in the insertion slot 86S. When the insertion piece 923 is inserted to this position, as shown in FIGS. 68 and 71, the engagement piece 868E of the backing metal fitting 868 engages in the engagement hole 926 of the insertion piece 923, thereby The insertion piece 923 cannot be removed from the insertion port 86 </ b> S, and the connection sealing portion 86 is connected and sealed to the hinge member 90. Thus, the first control board box 201A is attached to the back side of the game board 30 as shown in FIG.

  Further, in the state where the insertion piece 923 of the hinge member 90 is inserted into the insertion port 86S of the connection sealing portion 86 as described above, one side of the insertion piece 923 in the insertion port 86S (in the connection sealing portion 86). Half of the inner block 86N side, that is, the half of the side where the engaging piece 868E of the backing metal fitting 868 is present with respect to the insertion piece 923 is continuous to the insertion piece 923 in the movable portion 92 of the hinge member 90 and exposed outside the insertion port 86S. The intermediate piece 922 is covered and closed. That is, the intermediate piece 922 serves as a shielding portion that covers a part of the insertion port 86S, which makes it difficult to illegally operate the engaging piece 868E of the backing metal fitting 868 from the outside.

  By connecting and fixing the connection sealing portion 86 to the hinge member 90 as described above, one end edge portion of the first control board box 201A is attached to the back side of the game board 30, but the first control board box The other side edge portion of 201A is detachably attached and fixed to a spacer 932, which will be described later, disposed so as to be interposed between the first control board box 201A and the game board 30.

  After the first control board box 201A is attached as described above, for example, when inspection or the like is performed, the first control board box 201A can be opened by the hinge member 90 so as to be opened in a hinged door manner. However, when the opening is maximized, the movable portion 92 of the hinge member 90 comes to the open position, and thereby, the first control board box 201A is temporarily held in the fully opened posture.

As shown in FIGS. 72 to 75, a spacer 932 is arranged between the first control board box 201A and the ball assembly plate 460, and thereby, between the first control board box 201A and the ball assembly board 460. The space is filled. The spacer 932 is a substantially box-shaped body having a slightly horizontally long rectangular front shape substantially corresponding to the spherical assembly plate 460, and is composed of a main body 932B and a lid body 932C. The main body 932B is a substantially rectangular parallelepiped hollow resin molded body that extends horizontally, and as shown in FIG. 73, one long edge portion that becomes the front upper edge in the arrangement state is arranged adjacent to the front upper side. So as not to interfere with any other member (that is, to follow the ridge angle shape of the rear lower edge of the outer packaging member 82 (see FIG. 6) disposed adjacent to the front upper side). It has a shape that forms a side-view shape that is recessed in a shape, and the central portion in the left-right direction is recessed in a rectangular shape in a top view from the front to the rear. As shown in FIGS. 72, 74, and 75, the rear surface of the main body 932B is opened, and the inside is formed into a lattice by seven partitions (ribs) in total, five vertically and two horizontally arranged at equal intervals. Of the ten intersecting positions of the partition walls, the threaded portion 932S that extends in a substantially cylindrical shape in the front-rear direction about the intersecting line of the partition walls and has a screw hole therein is located at the intersecting position below both ends. Are integrally formed on the partition walls. On both side end walls of the main body 932B, two cuts are made in parallel from the rear edge to the inside (front side) to form an elastic piece between the two cuts, and a claw portion is formed at the tip of the elastic piece. Engagement pieces 932E are arranged and formed at three locations in the upper, middle, and lower sides (total of six locations on both right and left ends), and are further slightly leftward from the center of the lower end surface wall (bottom wall) of the main body 932B (FIGS. 72 and 74). In the same manner as described above, the engagement piece 932E is disposed and formed at a position on the right side in FIG. Groove-shaped recesses 932R penetrating in the front-rear direction are formed at both ends of the lower surface wall of the main body 932B, and a left connection fitting 933L and a right connection fitting 933R, which will be described later, are inserted and fixed in each recess 932R. It has become.

  The lid body 932C is a horizontally-long rectangular plate corresponding to the back surface shape of the main body 932B, and upper and lower pieces 932H and 932L extend rearward at both upper and lower edges, which are both long edges. As a whole, it has a substantially U-shape when viewed from the side. In the vicinity of the left end of the upper piece 932H and the lower piece 932L (near the right end in FIGS. 72, 74, and 75), there are two cuts parallel to the inner side (front side) from the leading edge (rear edge). Engagement pieces 932N each having a claw portion formed on the inner surface of the distal end portion of the elastic piece formed therebetween and slightly extended rearward from the upper piece 932H and the lower piece 932L, respectively. Arrangement is formed. The side edge and the lower edge of the lid 932C have slit-like opening shapes into which the engagement pieces 932E can be inserted at positions corresponding to the engagement pieces 932E of the main body 932B. Engagement portions 932A each having a step portion that can engage the claw portion of the engagement piece 932E are arranged and formed. In the lid body 932C, screw insertion portions 932P are arranged and formed at positions corresponding to 10 intersection positions of the partition walls in the main body 932B. 72 and 73, the screw insertion portion 932P extends from the rear surface of the lid 932C in a cylindrical shape so as to slightly protrude from the front surface, and the front end surface is closed by the front end surface wall, and the center portion of the front end surface wall And a plurality of (four) arc-shaped through-grooves are arranged at intervals along the outer periphery of the cylindrical portion around the cylindrical portion of the lid 932C. The cylindrical portion is partially continuous with the surrounding portion of the lid 932C by the spacing portion. In the vicinity of both ends of the lower end edge of the lid 932C, slit-like cuts 932G extending inward at right angles are formed, and the tips of a left connection fitting 933L and a right connection fitting 933R described later are inserted into each cut 932G. It has become.

  The first control board box 201A is arranged on the lid 932C from the rear side so as to be fitted between the upper piece 932H and the lower piece 932L, and is fixed by engaging the engagement piece 932N. The As described above, the first control board box 201A is rotatably held (openable and closable) at one end by the hinge member 90, and engages with the engaging piece 932N of the lid 932C as described above. Thus, the other side edge portion is detachably held. The lid body 932C constitutes the rear side wall portion of the spacer 932 and thus functions as an attachment base for the first control board box 201A.

The lid 932C is fitted so as to close the rear side surface of the main body 932B so that the engaging pieces 932E of the main body 932B are engaged with the engaging portions 932A, and screw insertions corresponding to the left and right screw-in portions 932S are inserted. By screwing the breaking screw K from the portion 932P, the main body 932B is fixed or sealed so that it cannot be opened without leaving a trace, and as a result, as shown in FIGS. 932 is completed. The configuration of the breaking screw K is as described above (see FIG. 10). The shaft portion is inserted into the screw insertion hole of the screw insertion portion 932P from the rear side of the lid 932C, and the head portion is inside the cylindrical portion of the screw insertion portion 932P. And is screwed into the screwing portion 932S of the main body 932B so that the breaking portion is broken. When the lid 932C is removed from the main body 932B after sealing, the space between the through grooves around the screw insertion portion 932P is cut with a nipper or the like to separate the screw insertion portion 932P from the lid 932C. Thus, the sealed state can be released.

  As shown in FIGS. 72 to 75, the spacer 932 is connected and fixed to the ball assembly plate 460 by a left connection fitting 933L, a right connection fitting 933R, a left engagement member 934, a right engagement member 935, and a fastening member 936. .

  As shown in FIGS. 78 and 79, the left connection fitting 933L is formed by forming a steel plate into a predetermined shape, and extends in a substantially strip shape in one direction (in the upward direction in FIGS. 78 and 79). One end portion extends to one side (lower side in FIGS. 78 and 79) so that the width is almost doubled, and the extended portion further outwards in parallel with the length direction of the main body portion 933B (see FIG. 78, the plug piece 933N is formed to extend to the outside in the length direction while being bent in a substantially S shape from one end portion of the main body portion 933B. ing. An engagement hole 933P having a substantially rectangular shape that is slightly long along the width direction of the main body 933B is formed at a position on the side of the main body 933B on the proximal end side of the insertion piece 933N. The base end of the piece 933N extends inwardly (upper right in FIG. 78) along the length direction, and most of the extended part is folded substantially perpendicularly to one side (lower right in FIG. 78). A closing piece 933C is formed by bending. In the main body 933B, the width of the main body 933B is outward in the width direction at a position above the closing piece 933C on the edge opposite to the side on which the insertion piece 933N and the closing piece 933C are formed (upper side in FIGS. 78 and 79). A contact having a configuration that extends in a substantially rectangular shape and is bent at a substantially right angle in the same direction as the closing piece 933C, and has a notch extending slightly inward in the width direction from the edge of the main body 933B on both sides thereof. A piece 933E is formed. The other end of the main body 933B (the end opposite to the end on the insertion piece 933N forming side) is dropped so that the tip has a semicircular shape, and the side on which the contact piece 933E is formed From the position on the opposite edge (lower side in FIGS. 78 and 79) to the inner side of the tip, it extends inward in the width direction, folds at a right angle at the center in the width direction, An overall L-shaped cut 933S extending to the position is formed, and thereby, a hook portion 933H extending in a generally fishhook shape (or J-shape) is formed at the tip portion.

  The right connection fitting 933R is the same as the left connection fitting 933L except that the engagement hole is formed at a position closer to the closing piece formation side than the formation position of the engagement hole 933P in the left connection fitting 933L. Therefore, the description thereof is omitted.

As shown in FIGS. 80, 81, and 82, the left-side locking member 934 has a substantially horizontally long rectangular shape from the one side long edge, the widthwise center, and the other side long edge of the vertically long base end wall 934 </ b> B. The first locking piece 934R, the second locking piece 934M, and the third locking piece 934L each extend in the same direction so as to be parallel to each other, and are integrally formed so as to form a substantially E shape in plan view as a whole. It is a molded member. The left locking member 934 is a molded body made of an opaque resin colored in a specific color (green in this embodiment). As shown in FIG. 82, an internal locking projection 934N is formed near the center of the side surface of the third locking piece 934L in the second locking piece 934M, and the internal locking projection 934N is formed in the second locking piece 934M. The end surface facing the free end side (upper end surface in FIG. 82) is inclined toward the inner back side (base end wall 934B side), while the end surface facing the base end wall 934B side (lower end surface in FIG. 82) is The second locking piece 934M is orthogonal to the second locking piece 934M and has a shape that protrudes toward the third locking piece 934L so as to have a trapezoidal shape as a whole, and is formed in the engagement hole 933P of the left connection fitting 933L. Can be engaged. As shown in FIGS. 80 and 81, an external locking protrusion 934S is formed at the center of one long edge side portion (the upper edge side portion in FIGS. 80 and 81) on the outer surface of the third locking piece 934L. The external locking projection 934
S is an end face (upper right end face in FIG. 80) facing the free end side of the third locking piece 934L inclined toward the base end wall 934B, while an end face facing the base end wall 934B (in FIG. 80). The lower left end surface) is orthogonal to the third locking piece 934L and protrudes outward so as to form a trapezoidal shape as a whole, and is on the left side of the left fitting cavity 460S in a ball assembly plate 460 described later. It can be engaged in an engagement hole (not shown) formed in the face wall 460L. Between the second locking piece 934M and the third locking piece 934L, an insertion piece 933N of the left connection fitting 933L is inserted as will be described later. For this reason, the second locking piece 934M and the third locking piece 934M Opposing ridge corners at the free end of the piece 934L are angled so that the insertion piece 933N of the left connection fitting 933L can be easily received.

  As shown in FIG. 83, the right side locking member 935 includes a base end wall 935B, a second locking piece 935M (excluding the internal locking projection 935N), a third locking piece 935L, and an external locking projection 935S. The left end locking member 934 has the same base end wall 934B, second locking piece 934M, third locking piece 934L and external locking projection 934S, and the first locking piece 935R is significantly shorter. This is different from the above-described left side locking member 934 in that the inner locking projection 935N is formed near the free end of the second locking piece 935M.

  As shown in FIG. 73, left and right fitting cavities 460S and right fitting cavities extending in a substantially rectangular tube shape in the front-rear direction are provided at positions corresponding to the recesses 932R of the main body 932B at the lower left and lower right of the ball assembly plate 460. 460T is formed, and the left engagement cavity 460S and the right engagement cavity 460T are respectively engaged with the external engagement protrusion 934S of the left engagement member 934 and the external engagement protrusion 935S of the right engagement member 935. Engaging engagement holes (not shown) are formed, respectively, and the left side locking member 934 and the right side locking member 935 are inserted and fixed from the front side, respectively. The ball assembly plate 460 is attached to the back side of the game board 30 in such a manner that the left engaging member 934 and the right engaging member 935 are accommodated and fixed in the left fitting cavity 460S and the right fitting cavity 460T in this way. .

  As shown in FIGS. 84 and 85, the fastening member 936 has two adjacent side surfaces (front side surface and lower side surface in FIG. 84) of a hollow rectangular parallelepiped extending substantially in the shape of a quadrangular prism, and the remaining two side surfaces and two end surfaces are open. In each of the fitting portions 936C each formed of a wall, two parallel sheets spaced from each other at the same width as the one side wall from the central portion of the inner side surface of the one side wall (the upper side wall in FIGS. 84 and 85). The central piece 936M extends in a direction perpendicular to the one side wall (downward in FIGS. 84 and 85) so as to be parallel to both end faces of the fitting portion 936C, and is integrally formed so as to be generally T-shaped as a whole. It is a resin-made member molded into a. Both center pieces 936M extend while continuing to the other side wall (the front side wall in FIG. 85) of the fitting portion 936C, and the other side wall is cut out in a rectangular shape between both center pieces 936M. On the other hand, it is a space except for the side wall (upper side wall). In addition, hemispherical protrusions 936E that protrude in a direction approaching each other are formed on the inner side surfaces of the front end portions of both center pieces 936M.

  The spacer 932 is attached to the ball assembly plate 460 as shown in FIGS. Hereinafter, the attachment procedure of the spacer 932 will be sequentially described. In the present specification, the left side mounting structure will be described hereinafter, and the description of the right side mounting structure will be omitted. It is the same as the case of.

First, as shown in FIGS. 86 and 87, the left connection fitting 933L is attached and fixed to the recess 932R of the main body 932B of the spacer 932. A support shaft 932J is integrally formed at the center of the recess 932R so as to cross the recess 932R in the width direction (left-right direction). As shown in FIG. 86, the left connection fitting 933L has a posture in which the flange portion 933H and the insertion piece 933N are directed forward and rearward, respectively, and the end edge on the insertion piece 933N formation side is directed upward, as indicated by an arrow A11. As shown in the arrow A12, the left connection fitting until the support shaft portion 932J reaches the inner back end of the notch 933S, as shown in the arrow A12, while inserting the support shaft portion 932J into the notch 933S. Slide 933L backward. Next, as shown by arrows A13 and A14 in FIG. 87, the left connection fitting 933L is rotated by 180 ° around the support shaft portion 932J while the inner back end of the notch 933S is hooked on the support shaft portion 932J. Next, as shown by an arrow A15, the left connection fitting 933L is moved until the support shaft 932J reaches the bent portion of the cut 933S and the tip of the flange 933H of the left connection fitting 933L is exposed from the rear end of the recess 932R. Slide backwards. As a result, as shown in FIG. 88, the notch 933S of the left connection fitting 933L is continuously engaged with the support shaft portion 932J, and the contact piece 933E is supported in contact with the inner back surface of the recess 932R. The metal fitting 933L is held in a state where it cannot move up and down in the recess 932R. In this state, as shown in FIG. 88, the fastening member 936 is fitted from the rear as shown by an arrow A16 to the rear ends of the flange portion 933H and the recess portion 932R of the left connection fitting 933L. At this time, while fitting the fitting part 936C of the fastening member 936 so as to cover the rear end of the recess 932R, the center piece 936M of the fastening member 936 is pushed in with the flange part 933H of the left connection fitting 933L interposed therebetween, The hemispherical protrusion 936E is elastically (snappedly) fitted to the notch 933S of the left connection fitting 933L. Accordingly, the left connection fitting 933L is fixed so as not to move in the front-rear direction in the recess 932R.

  89. Next, as shown by an arrow A17 in FIG. 89, a lid 932C is fitted on the rear side surface of the main body 932B and sealed with a breaking screw K as shown by an arrow A18 to complete the spacer 932. As shown in A19, the insertion piece 933N of the left connection fitting 933L is inserted from the rear into the left fitting cavity 460S of the ball assembly plate 460, and the spacer 932 is fixed to the ball assembly plate 460 as shown in FIG.

  91 is a left side view of the spacer 932 and the ball assembly plate 460 in the attached state, FIG. 92 is a cross-sectional view taken along the line EE of FIG. 91, and FIG. 93 is an enlarged view of the vicinity of the left locking member 934 in FIG. FIG. 94 and FIG. 94 are enlarged views of the vicinity of the right locking member 935 in FIG.

  As shown in FIG. 93, the left side locking member 934 has a third locking piece 934R, a second locking piece 934M, and a third locking piece 934L with the free ends on the rear side (lower side in FIG. 93). The locking piece 934L is inserted from the front side into the left side fitting cavity 460S so that the outer side surface of the locking piece 934L faces the left side wall 460L of the left side fitting cavity 460S in the ball assembly plate 460, and the base end wall 934B is inserted into the left side fitting cavity. The front opening of 460S is closed and fixed in a state where it is flush with the front surface of the ball assembly plate 460. An engagement hole (not shown) is formed in the left side wall 460L of the left fitting cavity 460S at a position corresponding to the external locking protrusion 934S (not shown in FIG. 93) of the left locking member 934. The external locking projection 934S is elastically engaged with the engagement hole, whereby the left locking member 934 is held so as not to be detached from the left fitting cavity 460S. On the other hand, in the vicinity of the rear side end of the right side wall 460R of the left side fitting cavity 460S, a left side barrier 460M is formed that extends slightly to the inside at a right angle, bends at a right angle at the tip, and slightly extends to the front. The free end of the first locking piece 934R in the left locking member 934 is fitted inside the left barrier 460M and hits the inner back surface, so that the left locking member 934 no longer has a left fitting cavity. It cannot enter the inner side (rear side) of 460S. The left barrier 460M extends from the right side wall 460R of the left fitting cavity 460S to a position reaching the side surface (right side) of the second locking piece 934M in the left locking member 934. The piece 934M is inserted along the left end surface of the left barrier 460M, and for this reason, the ridge corner of the left front edge (left upper edge in FIG. 93) of the left barrier 460M falls off. Thus, the second locking piece 934M is easily inserted.

As described above, when the insertion piece 933N of the left connection fitting 933L is inserted from the rear into the left fitting cavity 460S of the ball assembly plate 460, the insertion piece 933N is connected to the second engagement piece 934M and the second engagement piece 934M in the left engagement member 934. When the leading end of the insertion piece 933N comes into contact with the inner back surface, that is, the inner side surface of the base end wall 934B, the insertion piece 933N enters the engagement hole 933P of the insertion piece 933N. The internal locking protrusion 934N of the second locking piece 934M is engaged, and thereby the insertion piece 933N is held so as not to be detached, and the spacer 932 is fixed to the ball assembly plate 460.

  As described above, while the insertion piece 933N enters between the second locking piece 934M and the third locking piece 934L, the tip of the insertion piece 933N hits the slope of the internal locking projection 934N. This slope becomes a cam surface, and the inner locking projection 934N is pushed sideways (rightward in FIG. 93), and the second locking piece 934M is elastically deformed so as to bend in the same direction. The piece 933N enters the inner back side, but at this time, the free end of the second locking piece 934M is in a posture sandwiched between the insertion piece 933N and the left barrier 460M, Since the base end portion of the second locking piece 934M is inherently integral with the base end wall 934B, the second locking piece 934M is held so that both end portions cannot be deformed sideways. Therefore, the center is bowed to the side (right in Fig. 93) So as to bulge so that the elastically deformed. Thereafter, when the distal end of the insertion piece 933N reaches the inner back end (the inner side surface of the base end wall 934B), the engagement hole 933P reaches the position corresponding to the internal locking projection 934N and is in a deformed state. The second locking piece 934M returns to the flat state before deformation due to elasticity while causing the internal locking projection 934N to be recessed into the engagement hole 933P.

  When the insertion piece 933N is inserted between the second locking piece 934M and the third locking piece 934L, the third locking piece 934L is inserted into the left side wall 460L of the left fitting cavity 460S and the insertion piece. Since the elastic deformation is difficult due to being sandwiched between the left engagement member 933N and the engagement state between the external engagement protrusion 934S and the engagement hole is difficult to be released, the left engagement member 934 is moved to the left insertion cavity 460S. It will be securely held inside.

  In the mounted state, the free end of the second locking piece 934M is held between the insertion piece 933N and the left side barrier 460M as described above and is held so as not to be deformed sideways. Further, in this state, since the left side barrier 460M is inserted between the free end portion of the second locking piece 934M and the free end portion of the first locking piece 934R, this portion is closed. The internal locking projection 934N formed at the center of the piece 934M is held in a closed space that is difficult to operate from the outside and engaged with the engagement hole 933P of the insertion piece 933N. In other words, even if the second locking piece 934M is deformed from the free end side to release the engagement state of the internal locking projection 934N, the free end portion of the second locking piece 934M is deformed sideways. Even if the second locking piece 934M is deformed at the central portion to release the engagement state of the internal locking projection 934N, the central portion of the second locking piece 934M is closed. In the space, for example, it is difficult to pour in some sort of unauthorized tool, so that the internal locking protrusion 934N is engaged with the engagement hole 933P without receiving an external operation. Thus, the left connection fitting 933L in the attached state is prevented from being removed illegally. Further, at a position behind the second locking piece 934M and the left barrier 460M, the closing piece 933C of the left connection fitting 933L extends, and comes into contact with the rear end of the right side wall 460R of the left fitting cavity 460S from the rear. This portion is closed, which makes it more difficult for a fraudulent tool or the like to enter inside.

  In addition, since the second locking piece 934M is elastically deformed so that the central portion bulges sideways while being held so that both end portions cannot be deformed sideways, On the other hand, it is harder to deform than when elastically deformed in a state where only the end portion is held (that is, in a state where it is cantilevered), and the strength is improved.

Further, as described above, the free end portion of the second locking piece 934M is held between the insertion piece 933N and the left-side barrier 460M so as not to be deformed laterally, whereby the second end Locking piece 9
Although it is difficult to release the engagement state of the internal locking projection 934N by deforming 34M from the free end side, the free end of the second locking piece 934M is the insertion piece 933N or the left side. It is not joined or fixed to the barrier 460M, but is held in a movable state in the front-rear direction perpendicular to the interval direction between the insertion piece 933N and the left barrier 460M. Deformability necessary for engaging the projection 934N with the engagement hole 933P is ensured. That is, as the central portion of the second locking piece 934M is elastically deformed so as to bulge out to the side, both sides of the second locking piece 934M are slightly pulled toward the central portion. At this time, the base end side of the second locking piece 934M is integrated with the base end wall 934B and cannot be pulled toward the center, so that it can move in the front-rear direction on the free end side as described above. By being held (that is, held so as to be freely movable), when it is elastically deformed at the central portion, it can be drawn to the central portion, thereby ensuring the deformability.

  As shown in FIG. 94, the right side locking member 935 is inserted and fixed from the front side into the right side fitting cavity 460T in the same manner as in the case of the left side locking member 934. The right side wall 460D of 460T is formed with a right side barrier 460N extending at a right angle inward at a position slightly forward from the center in the front-rear direction, and the free end of the first locking piece 935R in the right side locking member 935 is It hits the right side barrier 460N, so that the right side locking member 935 can no longer enter the inner back side (rear side) of the right side fitting cavity 460T. Further, as described above, the internal locking projection 935N is formed in the vicinity of the free end of the second locking piece 935M in the right locking member 935, and the engagement hole 933F of the right connection fitting 933R is also formed in the internal locking projection 935N. It is drilled at a slightly rearward position corresponding to. At this time, since the internal locking projection 935N is in the vicinity of the free end of the second locking piece 935M and engages with the engagement hole 933F, the engagement state is originally released relatively easily. However, here, the right barrier 460N extends to a position reaching the side surface (right side surface) of the second locking piece 935M, whereby the second locking piece 935M moves to the side (right side). Even if it tries to deform so as to bend, it comes into contact with the extended end of the right barrier 460N at a position slightly forward from its center, so that the deformation of the second locking piece 935M is suppressed to a certain extent and engages with the internal locking projection 935N. The engaged state with the hole 933F cannot be easily released. Further, in the right fitting cavity 460T, as in the case of the left fitting cavity 460S, the right fitting metal 933R is blocked by the closing piece 933T, so that it is difficult for an unauthorized tool or the like to enter inside. ing.

  As described above, the spacer 932 is attached to the ball assembly plate 460. The spacer 932 is attached by rotating the first control board box 201A with the hinge member 90 as shown in FIGS. It is performed in a state temporarily held in an open-door-type posture. After attaching the spacer 932, as shown in FIGS. 97 to 100, the first control board box 201A is rotated in the closing direction by the hinge member 90, and the upper piece 932H and the lower piece 932L of the lid 932C in the spacer 932 are rotated. And the engagement piece 932N is engaged and fixed.

  For example, after the pachinko machine 10 is manufactured and installed in the hall and started to operate, components such as a sensor on the back side of the first start winning device 33 and a solenoid (not shown) for opening and closing the large winning opening 61 are broken. When this is to be replaced, as shown in FIGS. 101 to 109, the first control board box 201A and the spacer 932 are opened and separated from the ball assembly plate 460 to replace the parts. . Hereinafter, a procedure for opening the first control board box 201A and the spacer 932 will be sequentially described.

First, from the state where the first control board box 201A and the spacer 932 shown in FIG. 101 are closed, the first control board box 201A is opened as shown in FIG. As described above, the first control board box 201 </ b> A is rotated by the hinge member 90, is opened in a hinged door manner, and is temporarily held in an open posture.

  Next, as shown by an arrow A21 in FIGS. 102 and 103 (a), the spacer 932 is pulled backward so as to be separated from the ball assembly plate 460 and moved to the rearward movement limit as shown in FIGS. 104 and 105. . At this time, as shown in FIGS. 103 and 105, the support shaft portion 932J of the main body 932B in the spacer 932 is slid rearward along the notch 933S of the left connection fitting 933L. Further, the fastening member 936 is elastically (snapped) fitted to the notch 933S of the left connection fitting 933L. However, as the spacer 932 is pulled out rearward as described above, the fastening member 936 is moved to the left side. The connection fitting 933L is detached rearward from the cut 933S.

  Next, as shown by an arrow A22 in FIGS. 104 and 105 (a) and by an arrow A23 in FIGS. 106 and 107 (a), the spacer 932 is rotated forward with the support shaft portion 932J as a rotation axis. 108 and 109, it is assumed that the left side fitting 933L is supported by the support shaft portion 932J and suspended from the inner end of the notch 933S.

  As described above, the rear side of the ball assembly plate 460 is opened, and operations such as component replacement can be performed. After the work, the procedure reverse to the above is performed to return the first control board box 201A and the spacer 932 to the closed state shown in FIG.

  In the above structure, as shown in FIG. 105, after the spacer 932 is pulled out backward while releasing the fastening member 936, the spacer 932 is pivotally supported by the notch 933S of the left connection fitting 933L by the support shaft portion 932J and is rotatable. The support shaft portion 932J is formed at a position slightly rearward from the center in the front-rear direction at the lower end portion of the spacer 932, so that the spacer 932 leans against the front ball assembly plate 460 by its own weight. An operation of pulling the upper part rearward is required to rotate it so that it is tilted backward. Accordingly, it is possible to avoid a situation in which the spacer 932 itself or surrounding members are subjected to unexpected impacts by rotating backward so that the spacer 932 falls by its own weight without such operation.

  Also, as shown in FIGS. 103 and 105, the spacer 932 is configured to rotate after sliding back to the rear of the length (depth) of the notch 933S in the left connection fitting 933L. The spacer 932 can be rotated after securing a sufficient distance from the ball assembly plate 460 so as not to interfere with each other in the course of the process. It can be mounted close to each other so that it cannot be. Therefore, the spacer 932 can be smoothly rotated without hindrance, and a situation in which a gap is formed in the attached state and this is used for illegal activities or a wasteful space is generated can be avoided.

Further, the first control board box 201A is rotatably supported by the hinge member 90 independently of the spacer 932, and the first control board box 201A is temporarily held in a posture that is opened in a hinged door manner by turning. In this state, the opening / closing operation of the spacer 932 (back-and-forth movement in the front-rear direction and up-and-down rotation operation) is performed. 1 The control board box 201A cannot be closed. Therefore, a gap is accidentally left between the spacer 932 and the ball assembly plate 460, and this gap is used for illegal activities. It is possible to avoid a situation in which the spacer 932 is misplaced at the wrong rear position. Here, for example, if the control board box has a structure in which the control board box is directly fixed to the spacer without being independently supported and moves back and forth with the spacer, the spacer is not correctly arranged at the mounting position. However, in the configuration of the pachinko machine 10, the spacer 932 is not correctly arranged at the mounting position depending on whether or not the first control board box 201A can be closed. This error is surely recognized without being overlooked.

(Function)
As described above, in the pachinko machine 10, the first control board box 201A that accommodates the control board inside is connected and fixed to the back side of the pachinko machine 10 via the engagement mechanism, and the first control board box 201A is A box cover 71 for forming a front surface side covering region covering the front surface side of the control board, and a box base 72 for forming a back surface side covering region covering the back surface side of the control board. The first mechanism part having the insertion piece 923 in which the engagement hole 926 is formed, that is, the hinge member 90, and the insertion piece 923 are received and the engagement hole 926 is engaged with the internal engagement piece 868E. A hinge member 90, which is a first mechanism portion, is provided on the back side of the pachinko machine 10, and includes a second mechanism portion having an insertion port 86S to be obtained, that is, a connection sealing portion 86. In the configuration in which the connection sealing portion 86 that is the second mechanism portion is provided on the side of the box 201A, the connection sealing portion 86 provided on the first control board box 201A side is the surface of the first control board box 201A. Since it is configured to be provided at a position around the first control board box 201A without overlapping the side cover area or the back side cover area, the control board accommodated in the first control board box 201A When viewed from the front side or the back side, the connection sealing portion 86 does not get in the way, so that the visibility of the control board is maintained well, and there is no trouble in confirming the internal state. Further, the connecting sealing portion 86 does not occupy the space before and after the front surface side covering region or the back surface side covering region in the first control board box 201A, and accordingly, the space around the first control board box 201A is secured. ing.

  Further, the thickness in the front-rear direction of the connecting sealing portion 86 provided on the first control board box 201A side is smaller than the thickness in the front-rear direction of the first control board box 201A, and the first control board box Since it is provided without projecting forward or backward from 201A, the connecting sealing portion 86 provided on the first control board box 201A side fits within the thickness range of the first control board box 201A. Therefore, the space in the front-rear direction on the back side of the game board 30 can be effectively used without waste.

  Further, a hinge member 90 that is a first mechanism portion is provided on the game board 30 side, and a connection sealing portion 86 that is a second mechanism portion is provided on the first control board box 201A side. The connection sealing portion 86 that is the second mechanism portion is a portion that receives the insertion piece 923 of the hinge member 90 that is the first mechanism portion, and therefore is necessarily configured to be larger than the insertion piece 923. Therefore, if the connection sealing portion 86 is provided on the first control board box 201A side as in the pachinko machine 10, the effect is greater in terms of visibility and occupied space. The effect of providing it at a position around the first control board box 201A without overlapping the front face part and the rear face part of the board box 201A is more effectively exhibited.

Further, sealing portions for sealing the first control board box 201A, that is, metal fitting insertion parts 78F and 78S, a break screw insertion part 84F, and a rectangular protrusion 851 are provided at positions around the first control board box 201A. The connection sealing portion 86, which is the second mechanism portion provided on the first control board box 201A side, is provided at a position that does not overlap any of the front surface portion and the rear surface portion of the three sealing portions. Therefore, the visibility of the sealing portion is not hindered by the connecting sealing portion 86 as the second mechanism portion, and there is no trouble in confirming the state of the sealing portion.
Further, since the connection sealing portion 86 as the second mechanism portion does not occupy a space before and after the sealing portion, a space in the front-rear direction at the sealing portion is ensured.

  Further, a predetermined uneven portion 928 is formed in the insertion piece 923 of the hinge member 90 which is the first mechanism portion, and the uneven portion of the insert piece 923 is inserted in the insertion port 86S of the connection sealing portion 86 which is the second mechanism portion. An uneven portion that can be fitted to 928 is formed. The pachinko machine 10 according to the present embodiment is manufactured to a plurality of types of products having the same configuration configured from the same parts and having only winning probabilities set different from each other, that is, products having different specifications. The winning probability of the pachinko machine 10 is displayed on the front face of the player so as to be visually recognized by the player (not shown). Therefore, the first control board box 201A that accommodates the main control board set to the winning probability (that is, the corresponding specification) needs to be correctly attached to the product displaying the predetermined winning probability. However, even if the main control boards having different winning probabilities (that is, different specifications) are composed of the same parts, it is possible to identify which winning probability the main control boards are set to. It's hard to get stuck. Therefore, a defect (misassembly) in which the first control board box 201A containing the main control board set to a winning probability different from the winning probability is erroneously attached to the gaming machine displaying the predetermined winning probability. ) Is likely to occur. Therefore, in the pachinko machine 10, the uneven portion 928 of the insertion piece 923 of the hinge member 90, which is the first mechanism portion provided on the game board 30 side of the product on which the predetermined winning probability is displayed, is set to the winning probability. The concavo-convex portion in the insertion port 86S of the connection sealing portion 86 which is the second mechanism portion provided on the first control board box 201A side of the main control board thus formed can be fitted to each other. In products set to different winning probabilities, the shape, position, number, etc. of the uneven portions are changed, and the product that has the predetermined winning probability displayed contains the main control board set to the winning probability. Only one control board box 201A can be attached, thereby preventing erroneous assembly effectively.

  Further, when the first mechanism portion and the second mechanism portion are engaged with each other, for example, an illegal tool such as a wire is inserted into the insertion port of the second mechanism portion to engage the engaging portion or the first mechanism portion. If the engaging portion of the second mechanism portion is moved, the engaged state may be released and the first control board box 201A may be illegally removed. In contrast, in the pachinko machine 10, Engagement holes 926 are respectively formed as engagement portions at two positions of the insertion piece 923 in the hinge member 90 which is the first mechanism portion, and the insertion hole 86S of the connection sealing portion 86 which is the second mechanism portion A structure in which engagement pieces 868E are formed at two locations as engagement portions that can engage with the engagement holes 926 at two locations of the insertion piece 923, that is, a plurality of locations in each of the first mechanism portion and the second mechanism portion. Engagement parts are provided at (2 places) In this manner, a plurality of sets (two sets) of engaging portions that engage with each other are provided, so that the first mechanism portion (hinge member 90) and the second mechanism portion (connection sealing portion 86) In order to release the engagement, it is necessary to simultaneously release the engagement states at a plurality of places (two places). Therefore, unauthorized removal of the first control board box 201A is more difficult.

  In addition, a partition rib 863 is provided as a partition portion that partitions between two sets of the engagement hole 926 that is the engagement portion of the first mechanism portion and the engagement piece 868E that is the engagement portion of the second mechanism portion. Therefore, the two places where the engagement hole 926 and the engagement piece 868E are engaged are separated from each other by the partition rib 863, and therefore it is more difficult to simultaneously release the engagement state at the two places. Thus, unauthorized removal of the first control board box 201A is more difficult.

  Further, as a shielding portion that covers at least a part of the insertion port 86S in a state where the insertion piece 923 of the hinge member 90 that is the first mechanism portion is inserted into the insertion port 86S of the connection sealing portion 86 that is the second mechanism portion. Since the intermediate piece 922 is provided on the hinge member 90, for example, it is difficult to allow an unauthorized tool such as a wire to enter the insertion port 86S because the intermediate piece 922 that is a shielding portion is an obstacle. Therefore, unauthorized removal of the first control board box 201A is more difficult.

  Further, the insertion piece 923 is formed by molding a metal plate, and a portion exposed to the outside of the insertion port 86S in a state where the insertion piece 923 is inserted into the insertion port 86S of the connection sealing portion 86 which is the second mechanism portion. Since the intermediate piece 922 that is the shielding portion is formed by bending in one direction, the intermediate piece 922 that is the shielding portion is easily formed integrally with the insertion piece 923 by bending.

  Further, in the pachinko machine 10, a first control board box 201A that accommodates a control board therein is connected and fixed so as to be openable and closable via a hinge member 90 that can rotate around a predetermined axis, that is, a rotation shaft 93. In the above configuration, the hinge member 90 includes a temporary holding mechanism that can hold the hinge member 90 at a predetermined angular position within the rotation range, that is, an attachment position, a storage position, or an open position. Unnecessary rotation of the hinge member 90 can be suppressed by holding the hinge member 90 at a predetermined angular position by the temporary holding mechanism during storage, transport, assembly, inspection, and the like.

  Further, since the temporary holding mechanism can hold the hinge member 90 at the attachment position where the first control board box 201A is attached, the hinge member 90 is attached to the attachment position when the first control board box 201A is attached. The first control board box 201A can be easily and reliably attached by holding the door in a stable manner, and the workability is good without the difficulty that the hinge member 90 moves and the attachment work becomes cumbersome. It has become.

In particular, for example, when the board box is attached to a hinge member or the like so as to slide in a direction along the front surface or the rear surface (for example, left and right direction), the board box may be attached while visually checking the position of the hinge member or the like. Although not so difficult, in the pachinko machine 10 of the present embodiment, the first control board box 201A is attached to the hinge member 90 from a direction perpendicular to the front surface or the rear surface (that is, the rear direction). The field of view is blocked by the first control board box 201A itself, making it difficult to visually recognize the position of the hinge member 90. If the hinge member 90 moves, the mounting work tends to be cumbersome. For this reason, holding the hinge member 90 in the mounting position as described above is particularly effective in improving workability.
In other words, in the pachinko machine 10 according to the present embodiment, as described above, in order to maintain good visibility in the first control board box 201A and secure a space before and after the first control board box 201A, the connection sealing is performed. The stop portion 86 is provided at a position around the first control board box 201A without overlapping either the front surface side covering area or the back surface side covering area of the first control board box 201A. Since the box 201A is attached to the hinge member 90 from the rear side, the attachment work is likely to be cumbersome. For this reason, it can be said that the configuration in which the hinge member 90 is held at the attachment position is a particularly effective arrangement. it can.

  Further, since the temporary holding mechanism can hold the hinge member 90 in the folded storage position, the hinge member 90 is stored in the storage position, for example, during transport or storage before the first control board box 201A is attached. The hinge member 90 is stored in an orderly manner without interfering with the transfer work or standing up during transfer or storage so that the hinge member 90 does not move. Can be left as

  In this case, the temporary holding mechanism can hold the hinge member 90 in the storage position by using the mechanism in the case of the mounting position, so that the configuration is simplified. That is, in order to hold the hinge member 90 in the storage position, for example, a suitable engagement portion is provided on the ball assembly plate, and the tip end portion of the hinge member 90 is held in the storage position by engaging the engagement portion. The pachinko machine 10 of the present embodiment can be considered as a mechanism, but the hinge member 90 can be held in the storage position without providing such an engaging portion, and is added to the ball collecting plate 460 or the like. It is not necessary to add a temporary holding structure.

  Further, since the temporary holding mechanism can hold the hinge member 90 in the open position where the first control board box 201A is opened, the first control board 201 is inspected for inspection of the first control board box 201A. When the box 201A is opened, the hinge member 90 is held in the open position so that the hinge member 90 does not move, and the workability is improved without the difficulty that the hinge member 90 moves and interferes with the inspection work. .

  In addition, the hinge member 90 superposes the plate-like pieces, that is, the upper shaft support piece 924T and the lower shaft support piece 924B in the movable portion 92 and the upper and lower arm metal pieces 911T and 911B in the fixed portion 91, respectively, and the rotation shaft 93 The temporary holding mechanism urges the movable portion 92, which is one of the plate-shaped piece, that is, the movable portion 92 and the fixed portion 91, toward the other fixed portion 91. It is configured by providing a latching mechanism that engages with each other on the plate-like pieces, that is, the movable portion 92 and the fixed portion 91, while being urged by a coil spring 931 as a means, and thus requires a large number of parts. The hinge member 90 and the temporary holding mechanism which can function effectively with a simple configuration without any problem.

  Further, the locking mechanism protrudes toward the lower shaft support piece 924B of the movable portion 92 which is one plate-shaped piece and toward the (lower) arm metal piece 911B of the fixed portion 91 which is the other plate-shaped piece. Since it is configured by providing a right side locking projection 925R and a left side locking projection 925L that engage with the edge of the arm metal piece 911B, the lower shaft support piece 924B of the movable portion 92 that is one plate-like piece. Since the edge portion of the arm metal piece 911B of the fixing portion 91, which is the other plate-like piece, can be used as an object for engaging the right side locking projection 925R and the left side locking projection 925L provided on the left side, it is easier than that. It is a stop mechanism.

  Further, the pachinko machine 10 is a ball assembly which is a composite member configured in combination with a left connection fitting 933L which is a member to be attached and a mounted member to which the left connection fitting 933L is attached, that is, a left locking member 934. An insertion recess, that is, a left fitting cavity 460S that can receive the insertion piece 933N, which is a part of the left connection fitting 933L, from the insertion port. By being integrated with the proximal end wall 934B of the left locking member 934 on the inner back side (front side) of the left fitting cavity 460S, the one end is supported while extending to the insertion port side, and the inside of the left fitting cavity 460S An internal locking projection 93 which is an engaging portion that engages with a predetermined portion of the left connection fitting 933L introduced into the hole, that is, the engagement hole 933P and restricts the left connection fitting 933L from coming off. N includes an elastic piece formed at an intermediate portion between the one end and the insertion port, that is, a second locking piece 934M of the left locking member 934, and the left connection fitting 933L is connected to the left fitting cavity 460S. When introduced into the inside, the insertion port side end portion of the second locking piece 934M, that is, the free end portion is sandwiched between the insertion piece 933N and the left side barrier 460M and supported so as not to be elastically deformed. The insertion port of the left fitting cavity 460S is closed, the second locking piece 934M is elastically deformed between both ends, and the internal locking projection 934N is elastically engaged with the engaging hole 933P of the left connection fitting 933L. The left connection fitting 933 </ b> L is attached to the ball assembly plate 460 by engaging with the ball assembly plate 460.

In the above-described configuration, the inner locking protrusion 934N of the second locking piece 934M is simply engaged with the engaging hole 933P of the left connecting metal 933L simply by introducing the left connecting metal 933L into the left fitting cavity 460S of the left locking member 934. So that the left connection fitting 933L is prevented from coming out, and thus the left connection fitting 933L can be easily attached to the ball assembly plate 460. At this time, the second locking piece 934M is supported not to be elastically deformed not only at the inner back side end portion of the left fitting cavity 460S but also at the insertion port side end portion (free end portion), that is, at both end portions. In addition, since the insertion port of the left fitting cavity 460S is blocked, for example, an instrument or the like is entered from the outside into the insertion recess, and the second locking piece 934M in the engaged state is deformed. Accordingly, it is difficult to release the engaged state, and therefore, it is possible to effectively prevent the left connection fitting 933L from being illegally removed from the ball assembly plate 460.

  At this time, the second engagement piece 934M is supported so that it cannot be elastically deformed at both ends, so that the second engagement piece 934M is supported at only one end (that is, cantilevered). The stopper piece 934M is supported more reliably and stably, and the strength is improved, and the inner locking projection 934N is firmly engaged with the left connection fitting 933L so that the engagement state is more reliably and stably held. It has become.

  Further, the free end portion of the second locking piece 934M is supported so as to be freely movable so as to be pulled toward the intermediate portion, thereby ensuring the deformability in the intermediate portion.

  Further, the left connection fitting 933L is formed with a closing piece 933C for closing the space where the free end portion of the second locking piece 934M is located from the outside, thereby further allowing an unauthorized tool or the like to enter inside. It has become difficult. Further, since the closing piece 933C is formed in a plane shape perpendicular to the direction in which the left connection fitting 933L is inserted, it can be pressed with a finger, a tool or the like during the mounting operation to apply force in the insertion direction. It is also a possible operation piece.

  In addition, the ball assembly plate 460 is a composite member configured such that the left engaging member 934, which is another member, is inserted into the left fitting cavity 460S, which is the insertion recess, and the left engaging member Since the second locking piece 934M that is an elastic piece is formed on 934, the left side locking member 934 on which the second locking piece 934M including the internal locking protrusion 934N that is the engaging portion is formed is separately manufactured. Therefore, for example, the elastic piece, that is, the second locking piece 934M can be easily formed as compared with the case where the elastic piece is integrally formed on a spherical aggregate plate made of a single member.

  The left locking member 934 and the left fitting cavity 460S are provided with an external locking protrusion 934S and an engaging hole as engaging structures that can be engaged with each other, and the left locking member 934 is connected to the external locking protrusion 934. Since it is fixed in the left fitting cavity 460S by engaging with each other by the 934S and the engagement hole, it is easy to make a one-touch type simply by fitting the left locking member 934 into the left fitting cavity 460S. It can be fixed to.

  In addition, the left engagement member 934 can receive and receive the insertion piece 933N of the left connection fitting 933L between the second engagement piece 934M and the second engagement piece 934M. Since another elastic piece, that is, a third locking piece 934L having an external locking projection 934S that can be elastically engaged with the engaging hole of the fitting cavity 460S, is provided, the insertion piece 933N is the second locking piece. When inserted between the piece 934M and the third locking piece 934L, the third locking piece 934L is sandwiched between the left side wall 460L of the left fitting cavity 460S and the insertion piece 933N, so that it is elastically deformed. Therefore, the engagement state between the external locking projection 934S and the engagement hole cannot be released, and the left locking member 934 is securely held in the left fitting cavity 460S. Yes.

  In addition, since the ball assembly plate 460 is made of a transparent resin and the left locking member 934 is colored in a specific color, the mounting position of the left connection fitting 933L is easily visible and the operability is good.

In the pachinko machine 10, the first control board box 201A for accommodating the control board is connected and fixed to the back side of the pachinko machine 10 with the spacer 932 interposed therebetween, and the spacer 932 The first control board box 201A is supported on the back side of the pachinko machine 10 independently of the spacer 932 so as to be able to move in the front-rear direction. Since the spacer 932 can be moved in the front-rear direction with the first control board box 201A rotated and opened, the first control board box is not properly disposed at the front mounting position. 201A cannot be closed, and therefore a gap is formed between the spacer 932 and the back surface of the pachinko machine 10 (the ball assembly plate 460) by mistake. Or use of the state and has been cheating the gap remains, so that the situation is avoided such or a mounting mistakes will be disposed in the rear of the spacer 932 is incorrect. Here, for example, if the control board box has a structure in which the control board box is directly fixed to the spacer without being independently supported and moves back and forth with the spacer, the spacer is not correctly arranged at the mounting position. However, in the configuration of the pachinko machine 10, the spacer 932 is not correctly arranged at the mounting position depending on whether or not the first control board box 201A can be closed. This error is surely recognized without being overlooked.

  In addition, since the spacer 932 is rotatably supported in a state of moving rearward, a sufficient distance is provided between the back surface of the pachinko machine 10 (the ball assembly plate 460) so as not to interfere with the rotation operation. Can be opened by rotating the spacer 932, and on the attachment position, the spacer 932 can be attached as close to the back surface (ball assembly plate 460) as possible so that there is no gap between them. It has become. Accordingly, the spacer 932 can be smoothly rotated without any trouble, and a situation in which a gap is formed in the attached state and this is used for illegal activities or a wasteful space is generated is avoided. .

  Further, the spacer 932 is pivotally supported by a support shaft portion 932J formed at a position slightly rearward from the center in the front-rear direction at the lower end, which is lower rearward than the center of gravity, so that the spacer 932 has a horizontal axis parallel to the game board 30. Since it is supported so that it can rotate, the spacer 932 is supported by its own weight so as to lean against the back surface (ball assembly plate 460) of the front pachinko machine 10 under its own weight. An operation of pulling the upper part backward is necessary to rotate it so as to tilt backward. Therefore, a situation in which the spacer 932 itself or a surrounding member receives an unexpected impact by rotating backward so that the spacer 932 falls due to its own weight is avoided.

(Modification)
The pachinko machine 10 can be variously modified as listed below, for example.

(1) In the embodiment described above, the hinge member 90 that is the first mechanism portion is provided on the game board 30 side, and the connection sealing portion 86 that is the second mechanism portion is provided on the first control board box 201A side. However, conversely, the second mechanism portion may be provided on the game board side and the first mechanism portion may be provided on the board box side. For example, the board box is provided with an insertion piece that protrudes toward the game board and has an engagement portion formed therein, and the insertion piece is received and engaged with a ball assembly plate fixed to the back of the game board. The structure etc. which formed the insertion port which can engage a part inside are mentioned.
However, as described above, since the second mechanism portion is a portion that receives the insertion piece of the first mechanism portion, the second mechanism portion must be configured to be larger than the first mechanism portion. Providing the mechanism part has a greater effect on both visibility and occupied space, so that it should be provided around the board box without overlapping the front or rear part of the board box. The effect of the present invention will be more effectively exhibited.

(2) In the above-described embodiment, the connection sealing portion 86 that is the second mechanism portion is the metal insertion portion 78F, 78S forming side edge portion in the first control board box 201A (the left end on FIGS. 34 to 38). In addition to directly fixing the second mechanism portion to the peripheral edge of the substrate box in this way, for example, via an appropriate erection member, You may make it provide in the circumference | surroundings separated from the periphery. Alternatively, in this case, the erection member interposed between the substrate box and the second mechanism portion can also be regarded as constituting a part of either the substrate box or the second mechanism portion.
Further, the second mechanism portion may be formed integrally with the peripheral portion of the substrate box. However, since the engaging portion is formed inside the second mechanism portion, it is easier to assemble the second mechanism portion separately from the substrate box as in the above embodiment.

(3) In the above embodiment, the engagement hole 926 is an engagement portion of the hinge member 90 that is the first mechanism portion, and the engagement piece 868E is an engagement portion of the connection sealing portion 86 that is the second mechanism portion. However, in contrast to this, an engagement piece may be provided in the first mechanism portion and an engagement hole may be provided in the second mechanism portion. Moreover, as each engaging part of a 1st mechanism part and a 2nd mechanism part, arbitrary things will be used if it can mutually engage other than the above engagement piece and an engagement hole. Can do.

(4) In the above-described embodiment, the hinge member 90 includes a temporary holding mechanism that can hold the hinge member 90 at three positions, that is, an attachment position, a storage position, or an open position within the rotation range. However, the temporary holding mechanism is not limited to the one that can hold the hinge member 90 in the above three positions, and any mechanism that can hold the hinge member 90 in at least one position within the rotation range may be used. In particular, the mounting position is the most important among the above three positions, and then the opening position and the storage position are important in this order. Therefore, the temporary holding mechanism can hold the hinge member 90 at least in the mounting position. It is preferable to configure so that it can be held in accordance with the open position, and more preferably in the storage position. In a case where the hinge member 90 can be held at one position, for example, a locking projection can be provided on one piece of a pair of pieces superposed on each other in the hinge member and can be engaged with the locking projection. The temporary holding mechanism can be configured by providing the engaging hole in the other piece. However, in the above-described embodiment, as described above, the left-side locking projection 925L and the right-side locking projection 925R of the lower shaft support piece 924B are engaged with each other so as to sandwich the arm metal piece 911B from both sides. According to this configuration, it is possible to configure a temporary holding mechanism that can hold the hinge member 90 at three positions with a very simple configuration using both side edges of the arm metal piece 911B.

(5) In the above-described embodiment, the movable portion 92 of the hinge member 90 is urged toward the fixed portion 91 by the coil spring 931 that is the urging means. A washer having elasticity called a washer may be used as the urging means, thereby providing a temporary holding mechanism having a simple configuration. As described above, if the configuration of the above embodiment is partially changed using the wave washer as the urging means, for example, the upper shaft support piece 924T and the lower shaft support piece 924B in the movable portion 92 of the hinge member 90 are fixed to the fixed portion. 91. The upper and lower arm pieces 911T and 911B in 91 are pivotally attached to each of the upper and lower arm pieces by rivets instead of the pivot shaft 93, and a wave washer is interposed between the upper shaft support piece 924T and the upper arm piece 911T. (Not shown). At this time, the upper shaft support piece 924T and the upper arm metal piece 911T are overlapped so that the upper shaft support piece 924T is on the lower side and the arm metal piece 911T is on the upper side, contrary to the case of the above embodiment. The movable portion 92 can be biased toward the fixed portion 91 by interposing a wave washer between them.

(6) In the above-described embodiment, A) the connection sealing portion 86 provided on the first control board box 201A side does not overlap the front part and the rear part of the first control board box 201A. The configuration provided at positions around the control board box 201A, and B) the hinge member 90 can hold the hinge member 90 at a predetermined angular position within the rotation range, that is, an attachment position, a storage position, or an open position. However, it is also possible to provide only one of the above configurations A) and B). When only the configuration of A) is provided, a hinge member that does not include a temporary holding mechanism may be used.
Further, for example, without using a hinge member (that is, omitting an opening / closing mechanism by rotation), the first mechanism part or the second mechanism part is provided on the game board side, and the second mechanism part or the first mechanism part is provided on the board box side. A mechanism unit may be provided. When only the configuration of the above B) is provided, the position of the second mechanism portion or the first mechanism portion provided on the substrate box side may be provided at any position in the substrate box. The hinge member and the board box may have any attachment structure. For example, the hinge member may be directly fixed to the board box with a break screw or the like. Furthermore, for example, the hinge member may be provided on the board box side instead of the game board side.

(7) In the above-described embodiment, the first control board box 201A that accommodates the main control board has been described. However, the same configuration and the mounting structure as the first control board box 201A are displayed in addition to the main control board. The present invention can be applied to a board box that accommodates various control boards such as a control board, a sub-control board, a payout control board, a power supply board, and a launch control board.

(8) In the above embodiment, as shown in FIG. 93, the free end portion of the second locking piece 934M in the left locking member 934 is provided between the insertion piece 933N of the left connection fitting 933L and the left fitting cavity 460S. The second locking piece 937M has a rectangular cross-sectional shape that extends long in the front-rear direction, such as a left-side locking member 937 shown in FIG. 110, for example. Then, the shape extending in a cylindrical shape up and down, in other words, the free end of the second locking piece 934M and the free end of the first locking piece 934R in the left-side locking member 934 of the above embodiment are continuous in a U-shaped cross section. Thus, the left side locking member 937 as a whole may have a substantially e-shaped shape (or a substantially 9-shaped shape in plan view). In this configuration, the U-shaped free end portion (insertion side end portion) of the second locking piece 937M itself is the insertion piece 933N of the left connection fitting 933L and the left fitting cavity in the ball assembly plate 938. 938S fits into the right side wall 938R of the right side wall 938R without any gap, so that the free end of the second locking piece 937M is held so as to be difficult to deform laterally, and the free end of the second locking piece 937M Since it is closed in a U-shaped cross section, it is difficult to enter the vicinity of the center from the outside. Further, in this configuration, the left side wall 938M of the left side fitting cavity 938S slightly extends inward at right angles so that the rear side end portion of the right side wall 938R has a cross-sectional shape, and the left side retaining wall 938M is formed. The free end of the second locking piece 937M in the member 937 hits the inner side surface (front side surface) of the left retaining wall 938M, whereby the left side locking member 937 no longer has the inner back side (rear side) of the left fitting cavity 938S. The closing piece 933C of the left connection fitting 933L comes into contact with the outer side surface (rear side surface) of the left side retaining wall 938M from the rear side to further close this portion. ing.

  In the embodiment, the function of holding the free end portion of the second locking piece 934M so as not to be laterally deformed and the function of closing the space near the free end portion of the second locking piece 934M are the left side barrier. In contrast to the 460M, in this modification, the free end portion of the second locking piece 937M itself has these functions, and this configuration is also basically the same as in the above embodiment. The same effect can be obtained. However, in the case of this change mode, there is a possibility that the free end portion of the U-shaped cross section of the second locking piece 937M may be broken due to a large stress depending on the case during the mounting operation. The two locking pieces 937M can be deformed laterally at the free end, and the engagement of the internal locking projections 937N with the engagement holes 933P of the insertion pieces 933N in the left connection fitting 933L is released. There is a fear that it will end up. On the other hand, in the above embodiment, since the free end portion of the second locking piece 934M is only in contact with the left barrier 460M, which is a separate member, there is almost no possibility of breaking even when subjected to a large stress. Therefore, it is possible to maintain a state in which deformation to the side is difficult.

(9) In the case where the second locking piece 934M and the left side barrier 460M are separate members as in the above embodiment, for example, the structure for attaching the left locking member 939 to the left fitting cavity 940S shown in FIG. As described above, at least a part of the left side barrier 940M may be hooked on the free end of the second locking piece 939M. In the example shown in the drawing, the right rear end portion of the free end portion of the second locking piece 939M is cut out in a rectangular cross section to form a hooking step portion 939S, and the hooking step portion is formed on the left end surface of the left barrier 940M. A latching projection 940P having a rectangular cross section corresponding to 939S is formed, and the latching projection 940P is fitted into the latching step portion 939S to be latched. According to this configuration, even if the free end portion of the second locking piece 939M is broken for some reason, the hooking step portion 939S is detached from this position by being hooked on the hooking protrusion 940P. Thus, the closed state in which entry from the outside is difficult is maintained.

(10) In the above-described embodiment, as described above, the free end of the second locking piece 934M is not joined or fixed to the insertion piece 933N or the left barrier 460M of the left connection fitting 933L. In the front-rear direction perpendicular to the interval direction between the piece 933N and the left side barrier 460M, it is held in a movable (movable) state. For example, as shown in FIG. 112, the second locking mechanism 942S is attached to the left fitting cavity 942S. The free end of the piece 941M may be rotatably supported. In the example shown in the drawing, the left rear ridge corner of the free end portion of the second locking piece 941M is rounded in a circular arc shape and the left end surface of the left barrier 942M has a circular arc shape. The curved surface is curved, and the right side surface of the second locking piece 941M is linearly contacted and supported on the curved surface (circumferential surface). According to this configuration, when the central portion of the second locking piece 941M is elastically deformed to the side like a bow, the free end portion can be drawn toward the central portion side. As indicated by an arrow A31, the second locking piece 941M can rotate along the left end surface of the left barrier 942M, so that it can be more easily elastically deformed, and the free end can be elastically deformed. Since it is difficult to apply stress to the portion, it is difficult for damage to occur in this portion.

(11) In the above-described embodiment, the entire second locking piece 934M of the left locking member 934 is an elastic piece. However, for example, as shown in FIG. The elastic piece 943E may be formed. In the example shown in the figure, in the second locking piece 943M of the left locking member 943, it extends in the front-rear direction parallel to the inside along the upper edge and the lower edge, respectively, and continues in a substantially C shape at the rear edge. The elastic piece 943E provided with the internal locking projection 943N is placed on the inner side and the frame piece 943F is placed on the outer side by inserting a notch 943C having a substantially horizontally long C shape (or a U shape rotated 90 ° clockwise) as a whole. Are formed respectively. That is, the frame piece 943F is formed as a fixed piece extending to the insertion port side (rear side) separately from the elastic piece 943E. In this configuration, as shown in FIG. 114, the frame piece 943F of the second locking piece 943M is sandwiched between the insertion piece 933N of the left connection fitting 933L and the left barrier 460M of the left fitting cavity 460S. While being held so that it cannot be deformed to the side, this portion is closed so that entry from the outside is difficult, while the free end of the elastic piece 943E is not constrained, so as shown by the chain line in the figure It can be elastically deformed more easily. That is, the deformability can be further improved only by adding a simple change of making the cut 943C into the second locking piece 943M.

(12) In the above embodiment, the left side portion of the spacer 932 is connected and fixed to the left fitting cavity 460S of the ball assembly plate 460 using the left connection fitting 933L and the left locking member 934, while the right side of the spacer 932 Are connected and fixed to the right fitting cavity 460T of the ball assembly plate 460 using the right connection fitting 933R and the right locking member 935, but the mounting structure using the left connection fitting 933L and others and The mounting structure using the right connection fitting 933R and others can be similarly applied to both the left and right sides. For example, the right side fitting 933L and others can be applied to the right side of the spacer 932 as well. Using the same structure (or the same as the mounting structure using the right connection fitting 933R and others on the left side Structures using) may be connected and fixed to the sphere set plate by the same mounting structure right and left side portions of the spacer 932.

(13) In the above-described embodiment, the mounting structure of the spacer 932 is shown. However, the same mounting structure can be applied to the mounting structure of any member other than the spacer, and it is particularly illegally removed. It can be suitably applied to a substrate box or the like that is easily deformed.

(14) In the above embodiment, the fastening member 936 is used to attach the spacer 932. For example, as shown in FIG. 115, the spacer 944 is provided with a clamping piece 945 that can function in the same manner as the fastening member 936. You may make it leave. In this modification, the same members as those in the above embodiment are denoted by the same reference numerals in the drawings, and the description thereof is omitted in the following description. In the example shown in the figure, the spacer 944 is composed of the same main body 932B and the lid body 944C as in the above-described embodiment, and the lid body 944C is the above-described embodiment except for the configuration of the notch 944G forming portions at both ends. It has the same configuration as the lid 932C in the form. In the notch 944G forming portion of the lid 944C in this modified mode, as shown in FIG. 116, a slit-like notch 944G extending at a right angle is formed in the same manner as the notch 932G in the above embodiment. Both sides of the peripheral wall (rib) that extends slightly forward from the periphery of 944G in a generally inverted U shape when viewed from the front are respectively bulged in a substantially triangular shape when viewed from the side slightly above the center in the height direction. Thus, a sandwiching piece 945 is formed. Similar to the hemispherical protrusions 936E of the fastening member 936 in the above-described embodiment, hemispherical protrusions 945E that protrude in the direction approaching each other are formed on the inner side surfaces at the distal end portions of the sandwiching pieces 945, respectively.

  The spacer 944 is attached to the ball assembly plate 460 as follows. That is, first, the left side fitting 933L is attached to the main body 932B (not shown) in the same manner as in the above embodiment, and then the lid 944C is fitted to the rear side surface of the main body 932B as shown by the arrow A41 in FIG. The spacer 944 is completed by sealing with the breaking screw K as shown by the arrow A42. At this time, as the lid body 944C is fitted to the main body 932B, the sandwiching piece 945 of the lid body 944C is pushed in such a way that the flange portion 933H of the left connection fitting 933L is sandwiched therebetween, which appears well in FIG. 118 (b). As shown, the hemispherical projection 945E is elastically (snappedly) fitted to the notch 933S of the left connection fitting 933L, and, as in the case of using the fastening member 936 of the above embodiment, the left connection fitting 933L is fixed so as not to move in the front-rear direction. Thereafter, in the same manner as in the above embodiment, the insertion piece 933N of the left connection fitting 933L is inserted from the rear into the left fitting cavity 460S of the ball assembly plate 460 as shown by an arrow A43 in FIG. As shown at 118, the spacer 944 is fixed to the ball assembly plate 460.

  In the configuration of this modified mode, the clamping piece 945 that can function in the same manner as the fastening member 936 is formed integrally with the lid 944C of the spacer 944. Therefore, the number of parts is small and the mounting structure is simplified. ing.

(15) In the above embodiment, the left side locking member 934 and the right side locking member 935 are inserted and fixed from the front side to the left side fitting cavity 460S and the right side fitting cavity 460T of the ball assembly plate 460, respectively. However, as shown in FIG. 119, for example, a left-side locking member 934 or a right-side locking member 935 (see FIG. A restriction wall 947 may be provided for restricting the unloading. In the example shown in the figure, a restriction wall 947 is disposed and fixed so as to cover the front opening of the left fitting cavity 946S in which the left locking member 934 is inserted and fixed. According to this configuration, for example, even when the left side locking member 934 or the right side locking member 935 is broken and the engaged state is released, the left side locking member 934 or the right side locking is held by the restriction wall 947. The member 935 is regulated so as not to come out to the front side.

(16) FIGS. 120 to 151 are views showing each part of the first control board box, the spacer, etc., its mounting structure, etc. according to another embodiment. Hereinafter, another embodiment, that is, a modified aspect will be described. It should be noted that the configuration of this modified mode has many parts that overlap with the case of the above-described embodiment, and therefore, in the following description, the description will focus on parts that are different from the above-described embodiment, The reference numerals are omitted or the same reference numerals are given, and the description is basically omitted unless particularly necessary.

  As shown in FIGS. 133 to 135, the first control board box 201B includes a transparent resin box cover 271 that covers the surface side of the control board, and the control board, similarly to the first control board box 201A of the embodiment. A transparent resin box base 272 that covers the back side of the metal plate, and a receiving metal member 276 and a covering member 277 that are similar to the receiving metal member 76 and the covering member 77 of the embodiment, respectively. 120, 121, 136, and 137 through the coupling sealing portion 87 that includes the outer block 87E, the backing metal fitting 868, and the inner block 86N and that constitutes the second mechanism portion of the engagement mechanism described above. As shown, it is configured to be attached to the spacer 734 and the ball assembly plate 460C attached and fixed to the back side of the game board 30 from the rear. There.

  As shown in FIGS. 133 to 135, the box cover 271 of the first control board box 201B is provided with a connection window 271A for a connector connected to the control board. The connector cover 731 is configured to be detachably attached from the inside of the box cover 271 so as to be covered in a close contact state. The connector cover 731 has two side surfaces adjacent to each other, ie, the front side surface and the upper side surface of the rectangular column extending in the lateral direction so as to be fitted to the connection window portion 271A from the inside. Then, five connector openings 731 </ b> S are formed, rectangular pieces 731 </ b> R extend downward along the inner surface of the box cover 271 from the front lower end edge, and screws are fixed to the box cover 271 from both end surfaces. For this purpose, screwing portions 731F extend. The connector cover 731 is separately molded as a third divided member that divides and configures the first control board box 201B together with the box cover 271 that is the first divided member and the box base 272 that is the second divided member. When the number and shape of connectors on the control board are different, it is possible to respond by replacing only the connector cover 731 without having to prepare a board box with a different shape, thereby securing a large number of parts that can be shared in the board box. Thus, the cost required for the production or the like is reduced.

  In the box cover 271, the end opposite to the end (the left end in FIGS. 133 to 135) where the metal fitting insertion portions 271 </ b> F and 271 </ b> S through which the seal fittings 75 </ b> F and 75 </ b> S are inserted is formed (FIGS. 133 to 135). 135 is formed integrally with a protruding piece 271P having a substantially vertically long rectangular shape so as to protrude outward (rightward in FIGS. 133 to 135), while the box base 272 has A projection piece 272P corresponding to the projection piece 271P is integrally formed. As the box base 272 is fitted to the box cover 271, the projection pieces 271P and 272P are superposed and fixed by screws. In substantially the same manner as the rectangular protrusion 851 in the first control board box 201A of the form, the rectangular protrusion is configured and the sealing seal is Subjected has become (not shown) as. In this modification, the lever member 732 and the cover member 733 are further assembled to the rectangular protrusion.

The lever member 732 is integrally formed with a shaft support portion 732R and a knob portion 732L at the upper end of a main body portion 732B extending in a vertically long strip shape corresponding to the rectangular protrusion portion, respectively, and is colored (here, It is a member made of an orange resin. In the vicinity of the upper end and the lower end of the main body 732B, screw insertion holes corresponding to the screw insertion holes for fixing the screws of the projection pieces 271P and 272P are formed. The shaft support portion 732R has a shaft insertion hole inside, and is a portion that extends short in the front-rear direction in a generally cylindrical shape. Further, the support shaft 271R is fixed toward the rear (front in FIG. 133), and the shaft support portion 732R of the lever member 732 is fitted from the distal end side and is rotatably supported. . The knob portion 732L extends from the lower end portion of the main body portion 732B outward (to the right in FIGS. 133 to 135) in a bowl shape, and is formed in an annular shape so that the tip portion can pass a finger. . Further, at the lower end of the main body 732B, two upper and lower support pieces 732T extend in a direction opposite to the extending direction of the knob portion 732L, and both support pieces 732T gradually protrude toward the tip. Cam protrusions having sloped cam surfaces are formed so as to protrude in opposite directions (up and down directions) so as to increase in amount, and inward from the lower end of the main body 732B (to the left in FIGS. 133 to 135). It is the structure extended toward.

  The cover member 733 has a substantially vertically long rectangular parallelepiped shape that can accommodate the protruding pieces 271P, 272P and the lever member 732 inside, and faces one side of the first control board box 201B (the left side in FIGS. 133 to 135). It is a box-shaped cap-shaped member whose surface is fully open. The side wall (the right side wall in FIGS. 133 to 135) facing the open side surface of the cover member 733 is provided with a slit 733S that extends vertically and has a shape in which the upper end and the lower end are enlarged in a rectangular shape. The lever member 732 can enter and exit through the slit 733S. Further, on one side surface (the front side surface in FIGS. 133 to 135) of the two side walls between the open side surface of the cover member 733 and the slit 733S forming side wall, the upper and lower sides corresponding to the screw insertion holes of the lever member 732 are provided. At two height positions, notches 733C that are recessed inward (rightward in FIGS. 133 to 135) from the open side edge are formed. As shown in FIG. 134, a support wall 733T corresponding to the support piece 732T of the lever member 732 is formed in the lower part inside the cover member 733.

  In the step of assembling the first control board box 201B, the control board is screwed and fixed to the box cover 271 with the electronic components mounted on the control board facing the box cover 271 side, and the box base is attached to the box cover 271. When the 272 is fitted, the lever member 732 is interposed between the projecting pieces 271P and 272P while the shaft support portion 732R is fitted to the support shaft 271R of the box cover 271 so that the rectangular projection is fixed. After forming a portion and applying a seal seal to the rectangular protrusion in the same manner as in the above embodiment, the cover member 733 is fitted over the base end of the rectangular protrusion. Then, the knob portion 732L of the lever member 732 protrudes outward from the slit 733S of the cover member 733 (see FIG. 131), and both support pieces 732T of the lever member 732 are guided by the cam surface and elastically deformed to cover the cover member. It fits inside the support wall 733T of 733 (not shown). Thus, once the cover member 733 is fitted to the rectangular protrusion, it is necessary to first remove the cover member 733 to separate the box cover 271 and the box base 272 in order to open the first control board box 201B. However, since the support piece 732T is engaged with the support wall 733T as described above, it is inevitable to remove the lever member 732 in order to remove the cover member 733. At this time, as described above, since the seal seal is pasted so as to cover the rectangular protrusion including the lever member 732 from the outside, the seal sticker is inevitably attached in the original state. Therefore, by the configuration in which the lever member 732 and the cover member 733 are attached to the first control board box 201B as described above, the sealing by the sealing seal is more reliable.

When opening the first control board box 201B for the purpose of internal inspection or the like, the sealing seal of the portion covering the screw fixing the rectangular protrusion is removed through the notch 733C of the cover member 733, and the Remove the screw, tear the seal seal at the bent part, and turn the knob 73
The lever member 732 is removed by pulling out 2L, and the cover member 733 is removed. Thereafter, when the first control board box 201B is sealed again, a new sealing seal is prepared and the above-described procedure is repeated.

  The fitting structure between the box cover 271 and the box base 272 at the upper and lower edge portions of the first control board box 201B is the same as that of the previous embodiment, but the upper and lower edge portions of the box base 272 are 1 structure for preventing misassembly when the control board box 201B is assembled to the spacer 734 (hereinafter referred to as “second misassembly prevention structure” as a misassembly prevention structure different from the “first misassembly prevention structure” described later) Are also provided).

  As shown in FIGS. 126, 133 and 134, six recessed portions 272N are formed on the upper and lower edges of the box base 272 at intervals. As shown in FIG. 126, the recessed portion 272N has a ridge where the front wall, the upper surface wall, and the lower surface wall of the box base 272 intersect each other in a rectangular parallelepiped shape, opens the rear side surface inside, and has both side surfaces. A locking rib 272S extending from the rear end to a position slightly closer to the front than the center is formed at the center height position of each of the two, and a ridge where the both side walls of the recessed portion 272N intersect with the front wall of the box base 272 The lower part of the section is angled down so that a locking piece 735R of a closing member 735 to be described later can be easily inserted.

  As shown in FIGS. 138 and 139, the closing member 735 corresponds to the front shape of the recessed portion 272 </ b> N from one edge of the rectangular first closing piece 735 </ b> T corresponding to the planar shape of the recessed portion 272 </ b> N. A rectangular stay piece 735F corresponding to the side shape of the recessed portion 272N is formed so that a rectangular second closing piece 735F extending at right angles extends perpendicularly to the first closing piece 735T and the second closing piece 735F. A locking piece 735R having a claw portion protruding in the center and extending in a prismatic shape so as to be parallel to the first closing piece 735T from both ends of the tip end portion of the second closing piece 735F and projecting outward at the tip end portion. Is formed, and the above-described part is a colored (here, red) resin member.

  When the closing member 735 is inserted into the recessed portion 272N of the box base 272 from the front side, the locking piece 735R is further inserted while being elastically deformed inward and hitting the locking rib 272S. Then, the claw portion of the locking piece 735R is locked to the rear end of the locking rib 272S, whereby the upper surface portion or the lower surface portion of the recessed portion 272N is blocked by the first closing piece 735T of the closing member 735. Each of the members 735 is closed by the second closing piece 735F, and forms the same surface as the front surface and the upper or lower surface of the surrounding box base 272.

  As shown in FIGS. 136 and 137, the spacer 734 includes an upper piece 734H and a lower piece 734L that are substantially the same as the upper piece 932H and the lower piece 932L of the spacer 932 in the above embodiment. In the upper piece 734H and the lower piece 734L, obstacle portions 734N are provided at positions corresponding to the recessed portions 272N at the upper and lower positions of the box base 272, respectively.

As shown in FIGS. 140 and 141, the obstacle portion 734N is formed by notching the upper piece 734H and the lower piece 734L from the rear end edge to the front end edge with a width W3 corresponding to the width of the recessed portion 272N. From the front edge, the vertical piece of the spacer 734 is cut out at a height H1 corresponding to the height of the recessed portion 272N to form a cutout having a substantially L-shaped cross section, and a bridge piece 734C is formed in the rear half of the cutout. The upper piece 734H to the lower piece 734L of the spacer 734 on both sides of the notch are connected, and extend vertically downward or upward from the front edge of the bridging piece 734C by a distance substantially equal to the height H1. A barrier piece 734D extending from the extended end to the front and continuing to the vertical piece of the spacer 734 is formed, and the above portions are integrally formed with the spacer 734. Both ends of the bridging piece 734C are narrowed slightly to be continuous with the upper piece 734H to the lower piece 734L of the spacer 734, and the front end of the barrier piece 734D is cut out in a rectangular shape at the center and has a width at both ends. It is narrowed and formed so as to be continuous with the vertical piece of the spacer 734, so that the bridging piece 734 C and the barrier piece 734 D can be easily cut with a nipper or the like.

  As shown in FIG. 136 and FIG. 137, the rear surface of the vertical piece of the spacer 734 is embossed directly below the upper obstacle portions 734N and directly above the lower obstacle portions 734N. Character display portions 734R are formed, and the upper six obstacle portions 734N are numbered from “0” to “5” in order from the right (from the left in FIGS. 136 and 137). The six obstacles 734N on the side are numbered “6” to “9” and alphabets “A” and “B” in order from the right.

  In this change mode, as shown in FIGS. 136, 137, 140, and 141, the character located at the rightmost (leftmost in FIGS. 136 and 137) among the twelve obstacles 734N in total. The bridge piece 734C and the barrier piece 734D are cut out only in the two upper and lower obstacle parts 734N indicated as “0” and “6” by the display part 734R, and the inside of the cutout is made into a gap. Of the two recessed portions 272 </ b> N, only the two upper and lower recessed portions 272 </ b> N located on the right are closed by the closing member 735. Therefore, in this case, as shown in FIG. 128, the closing member 735 can be housed in the right-side obstacle 734N and the box base 272, that is, the first control board box 201B can be fitted to the spacer 734 without any trouble. At this time, if the position of the obstacle part 734N where the bridging piece 734C and the barrier piece 734D are removed in the spacer 734 and the position of the recessed part 272N closed by the closing member 735 in the box base 272 do not correspond to each other, Since the recessed portion 272N corresponding to the obstacle 734N in which the piece 734C and the barrier piece 734D are not removed is closed by the closing member 735, the closing member 735 is prevented from entering by the barrier piece 734D. Thus, the box base 272, that is, the first control board box 201B cannot be fitted into the spacer 734. That is, the obstacle portion 734 </ b> N of the spacer 734, the recessed portion 272 </ b> N of the box base 272, and the closing member 735 constitute a second erroneous assembly preventing structure for assembling the first control board box 201 </ b> B to the spacer 734.

  In this second misassembly prevention structure, there is a possibility that the position of the obstacle portion 734N where the bridging piece 734C and the barrier piece 734D are removed in the spacer 734 or the position of the recessed portion 272N which is blocked by the closing member 735 in the box base 272 is incorrect. Although not completely excluded, the cutting of the bridge piece 734C and the barrier piece 734D and the closing of the recessed portion 272N can be performed in the process of manufacturing the spacer 734 and the box base 272, respectively. Since certain products can be made together, there is a low possibility of mistaking these positions. On the other hand, in the step of assembling the first control board box 201B to the spacer 734 after the step of manufacturing the spacer 734 and the box base 272, the position of the recessed portion 272N closed by the closing member 735 in the box base 272 is determined. Although there are different types of first control board boxes 201B, and there is a high possibility that a mistake will occur between these types of first control board boxes 201B at any time until the final assembly. In this case, due to the second misassembly prevention structure, even if such a mistake occurs, it is difficult to cause the misassembly as it is.

Also, if the position of the obstacle 734N where the bridging piece 734C and the barrier piece 734D are excised in the spacer 734 or the position of the recessed portion 272N closed by the closing member 735 in the box base 272 is wrong, this position also happens to happen. When it matches another set position, that is, apart from the set of the spacer 734 and the box base 272 set at the positions of “0” and “6” by the character display portion 734R, for example, the rightmost “ When there is a set of the spacer 734 and the box base 272 set at the positions “1” and “7”, the position of either the spacer 734 or the box base 272 is mistakenly set as the position “1” or “7”. In such a case, the spacer 734 or the box base which has been mistakenly set to the positions “1” and “7”. Scan 272 matches correctly "1" box base 272, or spacer 734 which is set to position "7", becomes possible combinations can lead to erroneous assembly. However, there is very little, if not all, a possibility that erroneous setting positions and correct setting positions coincide with each other and lead to erroneous assembly.

  As described in the above embodiment, in the same model, a different specification board box containing a main control board set to a winning probability different from the winning probability in a gaming machine of a predetermined specification displaying a predetermined winning probability. In this modified mode, the position of the obstacle 734N that cuts the bridging piece 734C and the barrier piece 734D in the spacer 734 and the closing member 735 in the box base 272 are likely to be erroneously attached. The position of the recessed portion 272N to be closed by the specification is set for each specification. Therefore, the first control board box 201B of the corresponding specification is definitely assembled to the gaming machine of the predetermined specification by the second erroneous assembly prevention structure. Can do. In addition, as described above, the position of the obstacle portion 734N where the bridging piece 734C and the barrier piece 734D are removed in the spacer 734 and the position of the recessed portion 272N where the box base 272 is closed by the closing member 735 are defined as the spacer 734 and the box base 272. Since each can be selectively set at a predetermined position after molding, it is possible to easily cope with different specifications by changing the selection of the obstacle portion 734N and the recessed portion 272N. Therefore, even between different specifications, for example, it is assumed that only the control board is changed, and the spacer 734 or the first control board box 201B itself shares the same thing and does not need to change the mold. The manufacturing cost can be reduced.

  As shown in FIGS. 133, 134, 144, 145, and 146, the receiving metal fitting 276 in this modified mode is a groove between the ribs 272 </ b> R and 272 </ b> L in the box base 272, similar to the receiving metal fitting 76 in the above embodiment. This is a vertically long metal fitting having a length substantially equal to the groove portion, which is formed by bending one metal plate into a substantially U-shaped cross section along the inner surface shape. A projecting piece 276F having a screw insertion hole is provided at the center of the receiving metal fitting 276 and is fixed by a screw. One end edge of the metal fitting 276 further extends, and the outer surface of the rib 272R extends along the tip of the rib 272R on the inner side (the right side in FIGS. 133 to 135) of the two ribs 272R and 272L. It is bent to cover up to. The receiving metal fitting 276 is formed with four engaging pieces 276E similar to the engaging pieces 76E in the above embodiment.

  The covering member 277 in this modified mode has basically the same configuration as that of the covering member 77 in the above embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 133, 134, 147, 148 and 149. What is characteristic of the covering member 277 of the aspect is that it is molded with a colored (here, blue) resin having [opacity] lower in transparency than an extending piece 95E which is a cut-out portion described later (FIG. And a misassembly prevention structure (hereinafter also referred to as a first misassembly prevention structure) when assembling the first control board box 201B to the connection sealing portion 87 is provided.

The mounting structure of the receiving metal fitting 276 and the covering member 277 in this modified mode is the same as the mounting structure of the receiving metal fitting 76 and the covering member 77 in the above-described embodiment, although a specific illustration is omitted. That is, in the embodiment, as described above, as shown in FIGS. 25 and 26, the rib 72R formed on the one side edge (the left edge in FIGS. 25 and 26) of the box base 72, A receiving metal fitting 76 is fitted to 72L, and a covering member 77 is attached so as to cover this from the outside, and as shown in FIG. 26, the covering member 77 is attached to one side wall of the box base 72 ( It is arranged so as to overlap the inner surface of the left side wall in FIG. 26, that is, so as to line the side wall of the box base 72, but the receiving metal fitting 276 and the covering member 277 in this modified mode are the same as this. It is designed to be attached to the box base 272 with an attachment structure. Accordingly, since the box base 272 is transparent and the covering member 277 is opaque, the situation of one side edge of the box base 272 (for example, the left edge in FIGS. 133 to 135). Is clearly and clearly visible by contrast with the inner covering member 277. For example, if any damage occurs in the end edge of the box base 272, it is assumed that the inside of the end edge is composed only of a member that is substantially made of a transparent resin like the outer skin (that is, the side wall of the box base 272). If this is the case, abnormalities that occur in the outer skin, that is, breakage is easily lost in the transparent resin on the inside, and it is not noticeable. Visibility can be improved by conspicuous such anomalies in the outer skin.

  In particular, a screw-in part 95 similar to the screw-in part 88 in the above-described embodiment is formed at the edge part of the box base 272 in this modification, and the screw-in part 95 is connected to the first control board box 201B. Since it becomes a site | part cut | disconnected when canceling the sealing state with the stop part 87, the trace of this cutting | disconnection becomes more conspicuous. That is, as shown in FIGS. 133, 134, and 135, the screw-in portion 95 in this modified mode is similar to the screw-in portion 88 in the above-described embodiment, on one end surface of the box base 272 (FIGS. 133, 134, and 135). A cylindrical body 95P formed integrally with a horizontally extending extension piece 95E at the center in the height direction on the left end surface of 135) and extending in the front-rear direction with a screw hole therein. The four extended pieces 95E are arranged side by side at a slight interval, and the four extension pieces 95E are provided with position indications consisting of numbers “1”, “2”, “3”, and “4” in order from one end. The extension piece 95E can be easily cut with a nipper or the like when the sealing state with the connection sealing portion 87 is released (not shown). Therefore, for example, when the extension piece 95E is cut for the purpose of unauthorized removal of the first control board box 201B, the cut trace is lower in transparency than the extension piece 95E on the inside as viewed from the outside. By contrast with the covering member 277, it is clearly and clearly visible, thereby effectively preventing the trace of fraud.

  The covering member 277 is formed of a blue resin. The color of the covering member 277 is set corresponding to each model as will be described later. In this way, by covering the covering member 277 with a specific color set for each model, it is possible to visually and clearly grasp which model the first control board box 201B corresponds to. As a result, erroneous assembly of the first control board box 201B is effectively prevented. In addition, at this time, the covering member 277 can be viewed without overlapping the main control board when viewed from the outside so as to face the first control board box 201B, that is, the position of the first control board box 201B. The first control board box is arranged so as to occupy a limited space on one side edge (the left edge in FIGS. 131, 132, 133, 134, 142, and 143). The visibility inside 201B (particularly the main control board) is not substantially impaired.

As shown in FIGS. 150 and 151, the connection sealing portion 87 in this modified mode is the connection sealing in the above embodiment except that the outer block 87E is provided with a box cover fitting piece 871 and an occlusion rib 872. This is the same as the stop portion 86. The upper end edge and the lower end edge of the outer surface of the screw fixing portion 873 in the outer block 87E of the connection sealing portion 87 in the present modification are extended outward and bent downward or upward at a right angle so as to have a bowl-like cross section. A box cover fitting piece 871 extending in the front-rear direction is integrally formed. On the other hand, as shown in FIGS. 134 and 135, the upper and lower central metal fitting insertion portions 271S of the box cover 271 are extended upward. In addition, a connecting sealing portion fitting portion 271D that is bent at a right angle downward and extends in the front-rear direction in a cross-sectional shape is formed integrally, and can be fitted to the upper and lower box cover fitting pieces 871 respectively. It has become. 150 and 151, the outer block 87E is provided with a fitting piece 874 similar to the fitting piece 864 of the outer block 86E of the connecting sealing portion 86 in the above embodiment, and the box base 272 has A fitting portion 272E similar to the fitting portion 89 of the box base 72 in the embodiment is provided, and the fitting piece 874 is fitted into the fitting portion 272E. That is, the outer block 87E of the connection sealing portion 87 in this modified mode is fitted to one edge portion (the left edge portion in FIGS. 133 to 135) of the box base 272 in the same manner as in the above embodiment. In addition, the box cover 271 is configured to be fitted to the same side edge (the left edge in FIGS. 133 to 135).

  Between the upper and lower box cover fitting pieces 871 in the screw fixing portion 873 of the outer block 87E, a plurality (five) of occlusal ribs 872 extending outward and extending in the front-rear direction are juxtaposed vertically at equal intervals. The numbers “1”, “2”, “3”, “4”, and “5” are sequentially assigned from the top to the rear end surface of each occlusal rib 872 (the front end surface in FIGS. 150 and 151). (Not shown). On the other hand, the central portion of one side surface (the left side surface in FIGS. 147 to 149) of the covering member 277, that is, the wall portion covering the outer side (left side), the upper side, and the lower side of the screw insertion portion 277S in the U-shape The extending occlusal slits 277B are formed so as to be juxtaposed in the vertical direction at a plurality of lines (five lines), and can be fitted so that the occlusal ribs 872 are engaged.

  The connecting sealing portion 87 and the covering member 277 have five occlusal ribs 872 and five occlusal slits 277B arranged substantially evenly over almost the entire screw fixing portion 873 and the U-shaped wall portion of the outer block 87E. It is possible to use it as a first misassembly prevention structure for preventing misassembly between models. However, for example, the connection sealing portion 87 and the covering member 277 correspond to a specific model, and correspond to a different model, so that the five occlusal ribs 872 and the five occlusion slits 277B are provided. If the first misassembly prevention structure is configured by disposing at least one set of them, i.e., only one or four sets of occlusion ribs and occlusion slits, the above-mentioned five occlusion ribs 872 cannot be inserted into the 1 to 4 occlusion slits, but the 1 to 4 occlusion ribs can be inserted into the 5 occlusion slits 277B. It will not be possible to completely prevent incorrect assembly. Accordingly, as a practical one, for example, any one or four sets of the first misassembly prevention structure corresponding to a specific model among the five occlusal ribs 872 and the five occlusal slits 277B can be used. Only one occlusion rib and occlusion slit are arranged as a first misassembly prevention structure corresponding to a different model from the other. At this time, it is desirable to arrange such that at least one occlusal rib that cannot be inserted into the occlusal slits of different models exists for each model.

132, 142, and 143 show a connecting sealing portion 96 and a covering member 377 corresponding to a specific model, and the connecting sealing portion 96 and the covering member 377 have the occlusal rib 962 described above. Only one of the uppermost one of the five occlusal ribs 872 is formed, and only one occlusal slit 377B is formed corresponding to this one occlusal rib 962, so that the first misassembly is performed. A prevention structure is configured, and the rear end surface of the occlusal rib 962 (the front end surface in FIGS. 142 and 143) is numbered “1” (not shown), and the rear end surface of the covering member 377 is The numbers “2”, “3”, “4”, and “5” are attached so as to be juxtaposed below the occlusal slit 377B (not shown), and the configuration is the same as described above except for this point. In this case, the first control board box 201C including the covering member 377 in which the uppermost occlusal slit 377B is formed in the connection sealing portion 96 in which the uppermost occlusal rib 962 is formed. It is assembled. On the other hand, as the first misassembly prevention structure corresponding to another model, for example, the occlusal rib similar to the first to fourth excluding the uppermost portion of the five occlusal ribs 872 and the occlusal rib 1 to 4 occlusion slits corresponding to 1 are formed to constitute a first erroneous assembly prevention structure (not shown). Thus, by making the arrangement configuration of the occlusal ribs and the occlusal slits different between models, the first control board box 201C corresponding to a specific model and the first control board box corresponding to another model (not shown) ) Can be correctly assembled to the connection sealing portion 96 corresponding to a specific model and the connection sealing portion (not shown) corresponding to another model.

  At this time, the outer block 96E of the connection sealing portion 96 in which the occlusal ribs 962 are integrally formed is made of a transparent resin, and the covering member 377 in which the occlusal slit 377B is formed is colored (here, blue) having opacity. Because they are made of resin, they are clearly visible by contrast without being confused with each other, and accordingly, the differences between models are also clearly recognized visually. Visibility is better.

Further, the covering member 377 is formed of a blue resin like the covering member 277, but a covering member (not shown) corresponding to another model is formed of a resin of another color (for example, yellow), As a result, the first control board box 201C corresponding to a specific model and the first control board box (not shown) corresponding to another model can be clearly distinguished, and accordingly, the first control board box is incorrectly assembled. Is effectively prevented.
For example, when the transparent resin is cut, the cut portion is likely to be white. On the other hand, even if the covering member serving as the background is less transparent than the transparent resin, for example, white or close to white If it is an arbitrary color (gray, pink, beige, etc., close to white), the cut part will be easily confused. Yellow, green, brown, black, etc.) are desirable.

  As described above, in this modification, the covering members 277 and 377 are made of a colored (in this case, blue) resin having an opacity, so that 1) the cut mark of the extended piece 95E in the screwing portion 95 is formed. It is clearly visible and the oversight of fraudulent traces is effectively prevented. 2) Which model the first control board boxes 201B and 201C correspond to is clearly and visually recognized. 1) The control board boxes 201B and 201C are effectively prevented from being misassembled, and 3) the occlusion ribs 872 and 962 and the occlusion slits 277B and 377B constituting the first misassembly prevention structure are clear without being misunderstood. It becomes the structure which can obtain the advantage that the visibility at the time of an assembly | attachment operation | work is improved and it becomes visible visually. In addition, at this time, the color having the opaqueness (here, blue) is changed to one edge portion of the first control board boxes 201B and 201C (FIGS. 131, 132, 133, 134, and 134). 142 and the left side edge portion in FIG. 143), the inside of the first control board boxes 201B and 201C is substantially made visible by using the covering members 277 and 377 which are vertically elongated members that are locally disposed. The above-described effects 1) to 3) can be efficiently produced without damaging the above.

  Furthermore, in this modified embodiment, the outer blocks 87E and 96E of the coupling sealing portions 87 and 96 and the covering members 277 and 377 are different in configuration for each model, and in particular, the first control board box 201B, Other members such as the box cover 271 and the box base 272 that constitute most of the 201C are shared among the models, so that the change of the members due to the difference in the models can be suppressed to the minimum, and the manufacturing cost is reduced. The increase is also suppressed.

  Furthermore, in this modified mode, as shown in FIGS. 136 and 137, the same hinge member 90 as that in the above embodiment is used, and in the hinge member 90, the leading edge of the insertion piece 923 is uneven. On the other hand, an uneven portion (not shown) corresponding to the uneven portion 928 is formed on the inner wall surface of the outer block 87E of the connection sealing portion 87, and this portion is also misassembled. A prevention structure is configured. That is, as described in the above-described embodiment, the second mechanism provided on the first control board box 201B side of the predetermined specification that houses the uneven portion 928 of the insertion piece 923 and the main control board set to a predetermined winning probability. Products with different specifications that are formed so that the projections and depressions in the insertion opening 87S (see FIGS. 126 to 128) of the coupling sealing portion 87, which is a portion, can be fitted to each other, and are set to different winning probabilities The shape, position, number, etc. of the concavo-convex portions are changed, and only a first control board box 201B having a specification corresponding to the specification can be attached to a product having a predetermined specification. The sticking is effectively prevented. Therefore, in this change aspect, it is the structure which prevents misassembly effectively together with the said 1st and 2nd misassembly prevention structure.

  In this modified mode, the four extending pieces 95E are arranged and formed as described above. However, as shown in FIG. 152, the covering member 277 includes the four extending pieces 95E and the four extending pieces. It has a length region R11 that can include a vertically long substantially strip-shaped figure F11 obtained by projecting on the opposite vertical surface from the outside (from the lower left side in FIG. 15) together with the region between the pieces 95E. The extending piece 95E intersects the direction A51 in which the first control board box 201B, which is a gaming machine component, and the connection sealing portion 87 are connected (ie, the lower left upper right direction in FIG. 152) A51 and the covering member 277 By cutting the extending piece 95E in a direction A52 along the length direction of the length region R11 (ie, the vertical direction in FIG. 152), the sealed state by the screwed portion 95 that is a sealing portion can be released. like You have me.

  The extending piece 95E is easily cut by a plane orthogonal to the connecting direction (that is, the lower left upper right direction in FIG. 152) A51 between the first control board box 201B and the connecting sealing portion 87 by the extending piece 95E. Therefore, the surface orthogonal to the connection direction A51 may be a cut surface.

  The covering member 377 corresponding to the specific model is also the same as the length region R11 described above because the configuration of the portion corresponding to the four extending pieces is the same as that of the covering member 277 described above. It has a length region (not shown).

  In the above-described embodiment, as described above, the first control board box 201A is configured to be pivotally supported around the pivot shaft 93 extending in the vertical direction and configured to be openable and closable as a hinged door. The one control board boxes 201B and 201C are also configured to be opened and closed by a similar support structure. Therefore, the first control board boxes 201B and 201C rotate around a rotation axis (not shown) extending in the direction (vertical direction) A52 along the length direction of the length region R11 of the covering members 277 and 377. It is supported so as to be movable and is configured to be able to open and close in a hinged door manner.

In this change mode, on the back side of the gaming machine, an LED for energizing state confirmation on the surface of the control board in the first control board box 201B, 201C, a segment for status notification, an LED lamp for lighting inside and outside the game board such as a center frame, Various light emitting means are provided, and these light emitting means are turned on when the gaming machine is in operation. The extending piece 95E and the covering members 277 and 377 are arranged at positions where the light from these light emitting means can be irradiated, and these light emitting means are connected to the extending pieces 95E to the covering members 277 and 377 and their surroundings. It also functions as a lighting. In this case, the light emitting means arranged as the illumination of the other part as described above may function as the extension piece 95E or the covering members 277 and 377 and the surrounding illumination, but the light emitting means is extended. The light emitting means for illuminating the piece 95E or the covering members 277 and 377 and the periphery thereof may be arranged separately. Further, in this case, even if the light emitting means is arranged in a part different from the first control board boxes 201B and 201C and the first control board boxes 201B and 201C are rotated, the light emitting means extends from a certain position regardless of this operation. It is good also as a structure by which light is irradiated to the protrusion 95E thru | or covering member 277,377 and its periphery.

  The box covers 271 of the first control board boxes 201B and 201C in this modified mode are formed with the fitting insertion portions 271F and 271S through which the sealing fittings 75F and 75S are inserted as described above (FIGS. 133 to 135). The metal fitting insertion portions 271F and 271S have the same configuration and function as the metal fitting insertion portions 78F and 78S (see FIG. 24) formed in the box cover 71 of the first control board box 201A in the above embodiment. Therefore, since it is a part that is made of a transparent resin and is provided with a portion to be cut by a nipper or the like when releasing the seal (that is, the peripheral walls 271M and 271N and the bridge piece 271C on the inner side from the through portion), these metal fitting insertion portions 271F , 271S are also the same cutout portion as the extension piece 95E of the screwing portion 95 (that is, the inner periphery of the through portion). 271m, and has a portion with a 271N and crosslinking piece 271C). In this case, as shown in FIG. 153, the box cover 271 and the box base 272 of the first control board box 201B, which is a gaming machine component, are sealed through the metal fitting insertion portions 271F, 271S, which are sealing portions. The metal fitting insertion portions 271F and 271S are connected to each other, and the box cover 271 and the box base 272 are in the vicinity of the cut portions of the metal fitting insertion portions 271F and 271S. In the position that can be behind the cut portion as viewed from the front side of the 271 (the back side of the gaming machine in the installed state of the first control board box 201B), that is, the front side of the cut portion (the back side of the box cover 271). It is the structure provided with the coating | coated member 277 as a background part whose transparency is lower than a part.

  In the case of the metal fitting insertion portions 271F and 271S, the extending direction from the box cover 271 of the metal fitting insertion portions 271F and 271S, that is, the connection between the first control board box 201B and the connection sealing portion 87 by the extension piece 95E. When cutting with a plane orthogonal to the same direction as the direction A51, it can be easily cut. Therefore, as in the case of the extending piece 95E, a plane orthogonal to the same direction as the connecting direction A51 can be used as a cutting plane. Good. However, in the case of the bridging piece 271C between the metal fitting insertion portions 271F and 271S, it can be easily cut by cutting along a horizontal plane along the connection direction A51, and therefore the horizontal plane may be used as a cut surface.

(Operation of this change mode)
According to the configuration of this modified aspect, the first control board boxes 201B and 201C that are game machine components and the connection sealing portions 87 and 96 are connected in a sealed state via the screwing portions 95 that are sealing portions. The threaded portion 95 includes a cutout portion having transparency, that is, an extended piece 95E, and the first control board boxes 201B and 201C among the above-mentioned gaming machine components are located in the vicinity of the extended piece 95E. That is, since the covering members 277 and 377 are provided as background portions having lower transparency than the extending piece 95E at positions that can be behind the extending piece 95E when viewed from the left side, that is, positions on the right side of the extending piece 95E. After the 95 extending pieces 95E are broken or cut, the marks are clearly and clearly visible by contrast with the covering members 277 and 377 behind. Therefore, even when the extending piece 95E is illegally cut, it is difficult for the trace of the illegal cutting to be overlooked.

In addition, the covering members 277 and 377 are colored in a color corresponding to a specific model (here, blue), and a covering member of another model is colored in another color (for example, yellow), Which model the first control board box 201B, 201C in which the covering members 277, 377 are arranged corresponds to is clearly visually recognized, and thereby the first control board box 201B , 201C erroneous assembly is effectively prevented.

  Further, the gaming machine component member is provided with a first misassembly prevention structure, and the first misassembly prevention structure is provided on the side of the connection sealing portion 87, 96 which is one of the gaming machine components. Occlusal ribs 872 and 962 are provided as convex portions / concave portions on the outer surface of the screw fixing portions 873 and 963 in the outer blocks 87E and 96E, which can be a foreground with respect to the covering members 277 and 377, respectively. Occlusion slits 277B and 377B are provided as concave portions / convex portions corresponding to the convex portions / depressed portions on the first control board box 201B, 201C side which is the other of the members, and the occlusal ribs 872, 962 and the occlusion slits 277B and 377B are configured to be different from each other, so that the occlusion ribs 872 and 962 are disposed behind the covering member 27. The occlusal slit 277B distinguished by control 377, is clearly visible without even distracted and 377b, thereby visibility during assembling becomes better.

  Further, since the occlusal slits 277B and 377B are formed in the covering members 277 and 377, the contrast with the occlusal ribs 872 and 962 becomes more direct and more clearly visible.

  Moreover, since the said covering members 277 and 377 become one member which occupies the one side edge part which is a limited space in the said 1st control board boxes 201B and 201C, the components changed for every model are The production cost is reduced to a minimum.

  Further, the first control board boxes 201B and 201C in which the covering members 277 and 377 are arranged are formed of a transparent resin so that the inside can be visually recognized. However, as described above, the covering members 277 and 377 Since it is a member that occupies a limited space in the first control board boxes 201B and 201C, the visibility inside the first control board box 201B is not substantially impaired.

  In addition, the first control board boxes 201B and 201C which are one of the gaming machine components and the spacer 734 which is an assembly target member to which the first control board boxes 201B and 201C are attached are different in specification. A second erroneous assembly prevention structure for preventing erroneous assembly is provided, and the second erroneous assembly prevention structure is selectively provided by a blocking member 735 separately formed on the first control board boxes 201B and 201C. A plurality of recessed portions 272N that can be closed to each other are formed, and barrier pieces 734D that are configured to be able to prevent the closing member 735 from entering and be excised at positions corresponding to the recessed portions 272N in the spacer 734, respectively. Since it is configured by being formed, the position of the recessed portion 272N closed by the closing member 735 and the barrier piece 734D to be cut off are formed. By matching the positions, the assembly of the first control board boxes 201B and 201C and the spacer 734 can be effectively prevented. At this time, the position of the recessed portion 272N closed by the closing member 735 and the excision are cut. It is possible to easily cope with different specifications by changing the selection of the position of the barrier piece 734D to be operated. Therefore, even between the different specifications, the first control board box 201B or the spacer 734 itself is the same. It is possible to eliminate the need to change the mold while sharing the same, and the manufacturing cost can be reduced.

Further, a plurality (four) of the cutout portions or extending pieces 95E are arranged, and the background portions or covering members 277 and 377 are arranged such that at least two extending pieces 95E out of the plurality of extending pieces 95E and these two pieces. A length region R11 that can include a figure F11 obtained by projecting from the outside to the opposite vertical surface together with the region between the two extended pieces 95E, and the extending piece 95E allows the gaming machine component A direction A52 that intersects the direction A51 in which the first control board boxes 201B and 201C and the connection sealing portions 87 and 96 are connected and is along the length direction of the length region R11 of the covering members 277 and 377 By cutting the extension piece 95E, the sealing state by the screwing portion 95, which is a sealing portion, can be released, so that at least two extension pieces 95E and these two are seen from the outside. The covering members 277 and 377 always exist at positions that can be behind the region between the extending pieces 95E. Therefore, the two extending pieces 95E can be more visually recognized by the covering members 277 and 377. For example, even when these two extending pieces 95E are viewed from a position slightly shifted up and down from the facing position, the presence of the covering members 277 and 377 makes it easy to visually recognize them. Is secured.

  Here, as shown in FIG. 152, the extension piece 95E is formed so as to be aligned with the front side surface (rear side surface in FIG. 152) of the box base 272, and therefore, the extension piece 95E described above is formed. The front edge of the projection figure F11 is also positioned so as to be aligned with the front side surface of the box base 272, whereas the covering members 277 and 377 are accommodated inside the box base 272 as shown in FIG. Therefore, the thickness of the front side wall of the box base 272 is set to be retracted or retracted from the front side of the box base 272 to the inner side (rear side; lower side in FIG. 130). Perhaps the front ends of the covering members 277 and 377 are in a position where they are retracted to the rear side of the front end of the extending piece 95E, and are directly facing from the left side which is the outside. In this way, there is a structure in which there are a few (missing) portions where the covering members 277 and 377 are not present behind the front end portion of the extending piece 95E. If the extension piece 95E is viewed slightly from the left front side (slightly obliquely) so that the position (eye position) viewed from the left side is slightly shifted to the front side, the extension piece 95E The front side end portion can be easily seen in the state where the covering members 277 and 377 are present behind. In other words, when the covering members 277 and 377 are viewed from the outside, if the arrangement includes at least the direction including the extending piece 95E, it is possible to ensure ease of visual recognition.

  In this case, for example, the front end portions of the covering members 277 and 377 are passed through the front side wall of the box base 272, and the front ends of the covering members 277 and 377 are aligned with the front side surface of the box base 272, or the box base If it is arranged so as to protrude forward from the front side surface of 272, the covering members 277 and 377 are also present behind the front end portion of the extending piece 95E, so that the visibility is more reliably ensured. Can be obtained.

  Further, three or more (four) extending pieces 95E are arranged in the same straight line, and the length region R11 of the covering members 277 and 377 is all of the three or more (four) extending pieces 95E. And the area between the extended pieces 95E at both ends can be included in the figure F11 obtained by projecting from the outside to the opposite side, so that there are three or more (four) extended pieces 95E. Is more easily visible with the covering members 277 and 377, and at this time, three or more (four) extending pieces 95E are arranged in the same straight line, and the length region R11 of the covering members 277 and 377 Corresponding to this, since it is configured to be formed in a shape extending long in the straight line direction A52, three or more (four) extending pieces 95E and the length regions R11 of the covering members 277 and 377 are extra. Succinctly without occupying extra space It has been made.

  The first control board boxes 201B and 201C are supported so as to be rotatable about a rotation axis extending in a direction (vertical direction) A52 along the length direction of the length region R11 of the covering members 277 and 377. Therefore, even when it is difficult to visually recognize the extended piece 95E, the first control board boxes 201B and 201C are rotated to easily confirm the positional relationship between the covering members 277 and 377 and the extended piece 95E. Can do.

Further, the extension piece 95E is used for light-emitting means on the back side of the gaming machine (for lighting inside / outside the game board such as the LED for checking the conduction state of the surface of the control board in the first control board boxes 201B and 201C, the state notification segment, and the center frame). Since it is arranged at a position where light from an LED lamp or the like can be irradiated, the extension piece 95E and its periphery are more easily visible.

  In addition, when the light emitting means is disposed at a part different from the first control board boxes 201B and 201C, even when the first control board boxes 201B and 201C are rotated, the light emitting means is constant regardless of this operation. From this position, light is applied to the extension piece 95E and its periphery, and therefore the incident angle of light with respect to the extension piece 95E and its periphery changes to make it easier to visually recognize the extension piece 95E and its periphery.

  Further, according to the configuration of the present modification, in the gaming machine in which the first control board boxes 201B and 201C containing the main control board are assembled, the main body portion of the first control board boxes 201B and 201C, that is, the box cover 271 and The covering members 277 and 377, which are box components formed separately from the box base 272, are visible without overlapping the main control board when viewed from the outside so that the first control board boxes 201B and 201C face each other. Position, that is, at one end edge (the left edge in FIGS. 131, 132, 133, 134, 142, and 143) of the first control board boxes 201B and 201C, and the covering member 277 and 377 are the colors of the box cover 271 and the box base 272, that is, colorless transparent. The first control board box 201B, 201C correctly corresponds to the gaming machine according to the color of the covering members 277, 377 because it is colored in a specific color (in this case, blue) corresponding to the gaming machine that is different and assembled. Thus, it is possible to easily identify whether or not it has been made from the outside, so that the assembling work can be easily performed. Further, since the covering members 277 and 377 constituting a part of the first control board boxes 201B and 201C are colored in a specific color (here, blue) corresponding to the gaming machine, the first control board box 201B and Other parts of 201C (such as the box cover 271 and the box base 272) are shared, and there is no need to change the mold, and thus the increase in production cost is suppressed.

  At this time, since the covering members 277 and 377 are arranged at positions where they can be seen without overlapping the main control board, the color of the covering members 277 and 377 (in this case, blue) is not hindered. A good discrimination effect is obtained. Further, at this time, for example, a member having an identification function is not prepared separately and disposed in the first control board boxes 201B and 201C, but the covering member 277 and 377 are colored in a specific color to provide the identification function. Therefore, the number of parts does not increase with the addition of the identification function.

  Further, the first control board boxes 201B, 201C are located at positions that can be the foreground of the covering members 277, 377 when viewed from the left side that is near the outer side in the vicinity of the covering members 277, 377, that is, the positions on the left side of the covering members 277, 377. A threaded portion 95 is formed as a sealing portion for connecting the sealing member 87 and 96, which are external members, in a sealed state, and the threaded portion 95 is a cut-out portion or extension piece having transparency. 95E, and the covering members 277 and 377 are lower in transparency than the extending piece 95E. Therefore, after the extending piece 95E of the threaded portion 95 is broken or cut, the mark is behind the covering member. In contrast to 277 and 377, it is clearly visible. Therefore, even when the extending piece 95E is illegally cut, it is difficult for the trace of the illegal cutting to be overlooked.

The first control board boxes 201B and 201C and the connection sealing portions 87 and 96 are provided with a first erroneous assembly prevention structure, and the first erroneous assembly prevention structure is provided on the connection sealing portions 87 and 96. On the side, occlusal ribs 872 and 962 are provided as convex portions / concave portions on the outer surface of the screw fixing portions 873 and 963 in the outer blocks 87E and 96E at positions that can be foreground with respect to the covering members 277 and 377, respectively. On the first control board box 201B, 201C side,
The occlusion slits 277B and 377B are provided as the depressions / convex portions corresponding to the projections / recesses, and the arrangement configuration of the occlusion ribs 872, 962 and the occlusion slits 277B, 377B is different for each model. Therefore, the occlusal ribs 872 and 962 are clearly visible without being confused with the occlusal slits 277B and 377B by contrast with the covering members 277 and 377 on the back, thereby improving the visibility during the assembly work. It has become better.

  Further, since the occlusal slits 277B and 377B are formed in the covering members 277 and 377, the contrast with the occlusal ribs 872 and 962 becomes more direct and more clearly visible.

  Moreover, since the said covering members 277 and 377 become one member which occupies the one side edge part which is a limited space in the said 1st control board boxes 201B and 201C, the components changed for every model are The production cost is reduced to a minimum.

  Further, the first control board boxes 201B and 201C in which the covering members 277 and 377 are arranged are formed of a transparent resin so that the inside can be visually recognized. However, as described above, the covering members 277 and 377 Since it is a member that occupies a limited space in the first control board boxes 201B and 201C, the visibility inside the first control board box 201B is not substantially impaired.

  The first control board boxes 201B and 201C and the spacer 734, which is an assembly target member to which the first control board boxes 201B and 201C are assembled, are used to prevent erroneous assembly between different specifications. 2 is provided with a plurality of recessed portions 272N that can be selectively closed by a separately formed closing member 735 in the first control board box 201B, 201C. In the spacer 734, barrier pieces 734 </ b> D configured to be able to prevent the closing member 735 from entering and to be excised are formed at positions corresponding to the respective recessed portions 272 </ b> N. Therefore, by matching the position of the recessed portion 272N closed by the closing member 735 with the position of the barrier piece 734D to be excised. In this case, erroneous assembly of the first control board boxes 201B and 201C and the spacer 734 can be effectively prevented. At this time, the position of the recessed portion 272N closed by the closing member 735 and the position of the barrier piece 734D to be cut off By changing the selection, it is possible to easily cope with different specifications. Therefore, even between different specifications, the first control board box 201B or the spacer 734 itself can share the same and change the mold. Therefore, the manufacturing cost can be reduced.

  Further, the covering members 277 and 377 are light emitting means on the back side of the gaming machine (for lighting inside and outside the game board such as the LED for checking the energized state of the control board surface in the first control board boxes 201B and 201C, the status notification segment, the center frame, etc. In other words, the covering members 277 and 377 and their surroundings are more easily visually recognized.

  In addition, when the light emitting means is disposed at a part different from the first control board boxes 201B and 201C, even when the first control board boxes 201B and 201C are rotated, the light emitting means is constant regardless of this operation. The light is applied to the covering members 277 and 377 and the periphery thereof from the position, and therefore the incident angle of the light with respect to the covering members 277 and 377 and the periphery thereof is changed so that the covering members 277 and 377 and the periphery thereof are more easily visible. Become.

(17) In the modified mode of (16), the first control board box 201B, 201C, which is a gaming machine component, is in the vicinity of the extending piece 95E, which is a cut-out portion, and viewed from the left side, which is the outside. At the position that can be behind the protruding piece 95E, that is, the position on the right side of the extending piece 95E, the covering members 277 and 377, which are background parts having lower transparency than the extending piece 95E, are provided. , “Outside” means the outside of the first control board boxes 201B and 201C in the first control board boxes 201B and 201C alone.

However, the term “outside (or outside)” as used herein is not limited to the above case, and including this case, for example, the following 1. ~ 3. It is a concept including all of these.
1. 1. Side viewed from the outside (for example, the back side of the gaming machine) in the completed state of the gaming machine A front side of a gaming machine in a state where a gaming machine is installed in a hall or the like, which is visible when a predetermined operation (for example, unlocking and opening operation is performed) is performed (for example, the pachinko machine 10 shown in FIG. 1). Front side)
3. Outside the board box in a single board box. In this case, it is easy to detect fraud when transporting a game machine, when installing it, or when distributing used equipment. 2. In the case of, it is easy to check when installing the gaming machine. 3. above. This is advantageous for detailed inspection.

(18) In the modified mode of the above item (16), the extending piece 95E that is the cut-out portion is a colorless and transparent portion made of a transparent resin, and the covering members 277 and 377 that are the background portions are colored (here blue) However, the “cutting portion” and the “background portion having a lower transparency than the cutting portion” include, for example, combinations such as the modified form of the previous item (16). Such a combination is implied.
・ Cut-off part: colorless and transparent, background part: opaque or translucent color ・ Cut-off part: translucent color, background part: opaque or translucent color that is less transparent than cut part (dark or light color)

(19) In the modified mode of (16), the background portion is the covering members 277 and 377. However, the background portion may be less transparent than the cut portion regardless of the scene shape. For example, the foil is attached, plated, painted, or the like to a portion of an arbitrary component that is in the vicinity of the cut portion and can be behind the cut portion when viewed from the outside. A low-permeability layer having a transparency lower than that of the cut portion may be formed by a method such as.

(20) In the modified mode of (16), the first misassembly prevention structure and the color of the covering members 277 and 377 which are box constituent members are configured to prevent misassembly between different models. The second misassembly prevention structure is configured to prevent misassembly between different specifications, but means for preventing misassembly (first misassembly prevention structure / second misassembly The combination of the assembly prevention structure or color) and the type of misassembly to be prevented (between models / specifications) is not limited to this. For example, the first misassembly prevention structure between different specifications You may make it comprise as what prevents an incorrect assembly | attachment. In this case, for example, even if misassembly between models is prevented, it is not always possible to prevent misassembly between different specifications, but misassembly between different specifications is prevented. If this is done (that is, if a board box with a specification corresponding to a game machine with a predetermined specification is definitely assembled), it will inevitably prevent erroneous assembly between models. It is unnecessary to separately provide a misassembly prevention structure for preventing assembling. However, since the first erroneous assembly prevention structure in the modified mode of the previous item (16) is configured by the occlusal ribs 872 and 962 that are convex portions and the occlusal slits 277B and 377B that are concave portions corresponding thereto, more While it is possible to prevent erroneous assembly, it is limited to the outer blocks 87E and 96E and the covering members 277 and 377 of the connecting sealing portions 87 and 96 in which the engagement ribs 872 and 962 and the engagement slits 277B and 377B are formed. In some cases, it is necessary to change the mold, and the range of change is relatively large, so it is possible to prevent incorrect assembly between models. It is suitable as. On the other hand, the second erroneous assembly preventing structure in the modified mode of the above item (16) has a plurality of obstacles 734N configured such that a plurality of recessed portions 272N and barrier pieces 734D that can be selectively closed by a closing member 735 are resectable. However, as described above, the possibility of erroneous assembly is not completely eliminated, but the position of the recessed portion 272N closed by the closing member 735 and the position of the barrier piece 734D to be cut off are included. Since there is no need to change the mold just by selecting, the change is relatively small, so it is rather incorrect assembly to prevent incorrect assembly between specifications It is suitable as a sticking prevention structure.

(21) In the modification of (16), the spacer 734 and the box base 272 in the second misassembly prevention structure are each provided with six obstacle portions 734N and six recessed portions 272N on the left and right sides (up and down two rows). Thus, all of the six locations are configured equally, and any of the six recessed portions 272N can be closed by the same closing member 735. For example, of the multiple locations (here, 6 locations) The closing member 735 may be colored so as to be color-coded according to the selected location. In the change mode of the previous item (16), the occlusion member 735 colored in red was used at any location. For example, in addition to this, another color ( For example, a blocking member colored in green or the like may be prepared, and these different colored blocking members may be selectively used according to specification changes (or model changes). According to this, when the closing member is fitted to the recessed portion 272N, it can be clearly identified visually, so that the position of the recessed portion 272N to which the closing member is fitted can be made more difficult to error. When the first control board boxes 201B and 201C are assembled to the spacer 734, the first control board boxes 201B and 201C can be distinguished not only by the position of the closing member but also by the color, so that they are more clearly identified. Workability is improved.

(22) As described above, the obstacle portion 734N and the recessed portion 272N of the second erroneous assembly preventing structure in the modified mode of the preceding item (16) are configured equally in six locations, and all of the six recessed portions 272N are the same. However, for example, a plurality of (6 in this case) obstacles and recesses are formed unevenly, and a plurality of different closing members are produced corresponding to each. You may make it do. For example, six obstructions and recesses may be configured such that the width gradually increases or decreases from one end, and closure members having six different widths may be produced accordingly. According to this, in order to produce a plurality of different occlusion members, it will probably increase the labor of production, but each width of the occlusion member can be fitted only in one recessed portion, Unless a mistake is made as to which closing member is used, it is possible to eliminate the position of the recessed portion to be closed almost completely, and thus it is possible to prevent erroneous assembly more reliably.

  In addition to this, as illustrated in the previous item (17), according to the changed portion, that is, for each of a plurality of different closing members, the closing member may be colored in a different color. Since not only the position of the closing member but also its size or shape and color can be distinguished, workability can be further improved.

(23) In the above embodiment, the pachinko machine 10 is illustrated, but as a gaming machine, in addition to the pachinko machine, a gaming machine in which the pachinko machine and the slot machine are fused is also exemplified.
The basic configuration of the slot machine is “variable display means for confirming and displaying the identification information after dynamically displaying an identification information string made up of a plurality of identification information, resulting from the operation of the starting operation means (for example, an operation lever). The dynamic display of the identification information is started, and the dynamic display of the identification information is stopped due to the operation of the operation means for stop (for example, the stop button) or when a predetermined time elapses. The game machine is provided with special game state generating means for generating a special game state advantageous to the player on condition that the confirmed identification information is the specific identification information.
In this case, examples of valuable objects include coins and medals.
As a basic configuration of a gaming machine in which a pachinko machine and a slot machine are integrated, “a variable display means for confirming and displaying identification information after dynamically displaying an identification information string composed of a plurality of identification information, and a starting operation means ( For example, the dynamic display of the identification information is started due to the operation of the operation lever), the dynamic display of the identification information is caused by the operation of the operation means for stop (for example, the stop button), or when a predetermined time elapses. Special game state generating means for generating a special game state that is advantageous to the player on the condition that the display is stopped and the confirmed identification information at the time of the stop is specific identification information, and a ball is used as a valuable object In addition, a gaming machine is configured so that a predetermined number of balls are required at the start of dynamic display of the identification information, and many balls are paid out when a special gaming state occurs. It made.

An elastic piece formed at an intermediate portion where the joint portion is between the one end portion and the insertion port;
When the mounting target member is introduced into the insertion recess of the mounted member, the insertion port side end of the elastic piece is supported so as not to be elastically deformed, and the insertion port of the insertion recess is closed, The elastic piece is elastically deformed between both end portions, and the engaging portion is elastically engaged with a predetermined portion of the attachment target member, whereby the attachment target member is attached to the attached member. .

In the present invention, the “attachment target member” and the “attached member” mean any member as long as it is a set of members that are attached to each other among the members constituting the gaming machine. For example, a set of a spacer and a ball assembly plate to which the spacer is attached, or a set of a board box that accommodates a control board, a set of the board box and a mounting base to which the board box is attached. In addition, a set of a cover body and a main body which are fixed to each other and close the substrate box corresponds to this. In addition, which of these sets of members is a member to be attached and which is a member to be attached is arbitrary.
The “member” includes not only a single member but also a composite member formed by combining a plurality of members.
In addition, the term “elastic piece” implies any shape of a rod, a strip, or the like, and an elastic piece made of resin, metal or the like that extends long in one direction. Further, a plate-like elastic piece such as a polygonal shape is also implied.
In addition, the term “engagement portion” implies any protrusion such as a nail shape or a pin shape, and the “predetermined portion of the attachment target member” with which the engagement portion engages includes Any of holes, ridges, and the like that can be engaged with the protrusions are included. In addition, the “engagement portion” and the “predetermined portion of the attachment target member” imply any one as long as they can be engaged with each other. For example, contrary to the above, "Is a claw-like or pin-like projection or the like, and the" engagement portion "includes a hole, a ridge, or the like with which the projection can be engaged.

  According to the configuration of the means B1, the engagement portion of the elastic piece is elastically engaged with a predetermined portion of the attachment target member simply by introducing the attachment target member into the insertion recess of the attachment target member. Therefore, the member is prevented from being pulled out, so that the attachment target member can be easily attached to the attached member. At this time, the elastic piece is supported not only at the inner back side end portion of the insertion recess but also at the insertion port side end, that is, so as not to be elastically deformed at both ends, and the insertion port of the insertion recess is blocked. Therefore, for example, it is difficult to release the engaged state by deforming the elastic piece in the engaged state by entering an instrument or the like from the outside into the insertion recess. It is possible to effectively prevent unauthorized removal.

  Also, at this time, by supporting the elastic piece so that it cannot be elastically deformed at both ends, the elastic piece is supported more reliably and stably than when only one end is supported (that is, cantilevered). In addition, the strength can be improved, and the engagement portion can be firmly engaged with the attachment target member, and the engagement state can be held more reliably and stably.

Further, the gaming machine according to the present invention is a gaming machine of means B1, as means B2.

The attachment target member is attached to the attached member by the engagement portion being elastically engaged with a predetermined portion of the attachment target member.

  According to the configuration of the means C1, as in the case of the means B1, the attachment target member can be easily attached to the attachment member simply by introducing the attachment object member into the insertion recess of the attachment member. Since the insertion opening of the insertion recess is closed, unauthorized removal of the attachment target member can be effectively prevented.

  Further, at this time, the free end portion of the elastic piece can be configured not to be restrained, so that the elastic piece can be elastically deformed more easily. That is, the deformability can be further improved only by adding a simple change of providing the fixing piece in the configuration of the means B1.

In addition, the gaming machine according to the present invention is a means C2.

  In the present invention, the “spacer” is an intermediate member interposed between the back side of the gaming machine and the board box, and is mainly a space formed between the back side of the gaming machine and the board box. It is provided to prevent fraudulent acts using this space.

  According to the configuration of the means C2, the board box cannot be closed unless the spacer is correctly arranged at the front mounting position, and therefore a gap is formed between the spacer and the back of the gaming machine by mistake. It is possible to avoid such a situation that the gap is used as a fraudulent act and the spacer is misplaced at the wrong rear position. Here, for example, assuming that the substrate box is directly fixed to the spacer without being independently supported and moves back and forth with the spacer, the spacer is not correctly placed at the mounting position. However, in the configuration of the above means C2, this error is overlooked when the spacer is not correctly arranged at the mounting position depending on whether or not the substrate box can be closed. It will be surely recognized.

Further, the gaming machine according to the present invention is a gaming machine of means C2, as means C3.

Requires an operation to pull the upper part backward. Therefore, it is possible to avoid a situation in which the spacer itself or surrounding members are subjected to unexpected impact by rotating backward so that the spacer falls due to its own weight.

(Prior art and problem of means D1 to means D11)
Some gaming machines, such as pachinko machines and slot machines, contain a control board in a board box and are placed on the back side of the game board. Or a fraudulent act such as a replacement of a counterfeit product that contains an illegal substrate separately. For this reason, in order to prevent such an illegal act, it is desirable to have an attachment structure in which it is difficult to easily remove the board box.

  Therefore, for example, a sealing part that partially protrudes at the end of the board box is formed, and a special screw called a breaking screw, which cannot be removed once tightened, is screwed into this sealing part. Thus, the substrate box is also attached to the attachment position. According to this mounting structure, after the board box is fixed at the mounting position, the fixed state cannot be released unless any part of the board box is broken, i.e., traces of breakage, breakage, etc. It is possible to achieve a sealed state that is difficult to remove without leaving, thereby effectively preventing the unauthorized removal of the substrate box from being performed.

  In the above mounting structure, for example, the sealing portion includes an extending piece extending in a plate shape from the end portion of the substrate box, and a threaded portion of a breaking screw provided at the distal end portion of the extending piece. If it is necessary to remove the substrate box for some purpose such as inspection after it has been molded and integrated with the substrate box as a whole, use a nipper or the like to extend the sealing part It is general that the sealing portion and the substrate box can be separated by cutting with a. In addition, when the sealing at the sealing portion and the release of the sealing state are performed in this way, the sealing portion becomes unusable thereafter. In some cases, the operation for releasing the sealing can be performed again (for example, see Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2007-267832 as a prior art document).

  However, since it is necessary to make the inside of the board box visible, it is generally configured by molding a transparent resin. Accordingly, the sealing portion is usually made of a transparent resin. It has become. In this case, after cutting the extended piece of the sealing portion, the trace may not be noticeable so that it may be difficult to notice from the outside.For this reason, even if the extended piece is cut illegally, for example, Will be overlooked. In particular, depending on the configuration of the board box, a part made of another transparent resin may be placed behind the extended piece. In such a case, the trace after cutting the extended piece is behind the transparent resin. It is easy to become inconspicuous.

  The gaming machines of the means D1 to the means D11 have been devised in view of such problems, and are capable of effectively preventing an unauthorized sealing release operation at or around the sealing portion. The purpose is to provide.

For example, a board box and a base of the board box (Mounting base) At least two members of a member and a connecting member for connecting the substrate box to the base member, or a configuration in which the substrate box accommodates the control board between the first divided member and the second divided member The two members, such as the first divided member and the second divided member, are included.

  In addition, “sealing” means a state in which the fixed state cannot be released unless the gaming machine constituent members to be connected are broken, that is, removal without leaving traces of breakage, breakage, etc. This means a difficult state, and means a state in which the fixed state can be released by operating the cut portion.

  The “cutout portion” refers to a portion where the above-described sealed state is released by cutting, deforming, or destroying the portion. For example, a thin plate portion that can be broken with fingers, a plate portion that has a thickness that can be cut with a nipper, and the like are all implied. Moreover, since this "cutting part" is a part that can be broken or cut as described above, for example, in addition to "cutting part", "cutting part", "breaking part" , And can also be expressed by other names such as “breaking part”.

  The “position that can be behind the cut portion when viewed from the outside in the vicinity of the cut portion” refers to the “position that can be behind the cut portion when viewed from the outside” when the cut portion is viewed from any direction outside. The position is determined depending on whether or not the position is not necessarily on the back side of the cutout portion in the gaming machine. For example, if it is a cutout part in the sealing part provided at the left end of the board box arranged on the back side of the game board, for example, when the cutout part is viewed from the rear of the gaming machine, For example, when the cut portion is viewed from the left side of the gaming machine, it corresponds to the right side of the cut portion. In this case, the cut portion is arranged on the back side of the gaming machine. Since it cannot be seen from the front side of the cutout portion, the position that can be behind the cutout portion when viewed from all directions except the front side, that is, the top / bottom / left / right side or front side of the cutout portion (in other words, If it is a position on a plane parallel to the game board passing through the cut-out portion or a position in front of this plane), any position is implied. In addition, “in the vicinity of the cutout portion” means that the cutout portion is present within a range that can be seen behind the cutout portion when viewed from the outside, and is in direct contact with the cutout portion from behind. Not only the arrangement | positioning aspect but the aspect arrange | positioned, for example with the space | gap behind the cutting part, the aspect arrange | positioned through the transparent member behind the cutting part, etc. are all implied.

(Prior art and problem of means E1 to means E8)
Some gaming machines such as pachinko machines and slot machines have a control board accommodated in a board box and arranged on the back side of the game board. In such a gaming machine, when the model is different, a different control board is used, but the board box itself that is the exterior body often has the same configuration. Alternatively, even the same model may be manufactured to a plurality of different specifications in which only the winning probabilities are set to be different from each other. However, it is usual that the substrate box itself, which is the exterior body, also has the same configuration.

  In these cases, it is necessary to correctly assemble a board box equipped with a corresponding control board for each model or specification. However, since the board box as an exterior body has the same configuration, It is difficult to determine which model or specification is compatible from the outside, so that a board box containing a control board that does not correspond to the model or specification is incorrectly assembled during assembly work. Assembly) is likely to occur.

  Therefore, for example, a convex portion and a concave portion that can be fitted to each other are formed at the board box and the assembly position (for example, the mounting base) on the gaming machine side where the board box is assembled. In this case, the position and number of the projections and recesses are made different so that only a board box equipped with a control board corresponding to a given model or specification can be assembled. (For example, see Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2000-210427 as a prior art document).

  However, since it is necessary to make the inside visible, the substrate box is generally formed by molding a transparent resin. Therefore, the convex portion or the concave portion is usually made of a transparent resin. It has become. In this case, although it is possible to prevent erroneous assembly in the end by correspondence between the convex portion and the concave portion, the convex portion or the concave portion itself is not so conspicuous until the assembly is completed. There is a problem that it is difficult to determine which model or specification the box corresponds to, and it is difficult to determine the box, so that the workability of the assembly is poor. In addition, as a result of forming convex parts or concave parts with different formation positions and numbers for each model or specification, it is necessary to change the mold used to manufacture the substrate box for each model or specification, There is also a problem that the manufacturing cost increases.

  The gaming machines of means E1 to E8 have been devised in view of such problems, the board box to be assembled to the gaming machine can be clearly identified, and the assembly work can be easily performed. An object of the present invention is to provide a gaming machine that can suppress an increase in cost required for the game.

In the case of a board box configured to accommodate a control board between the box base and the box cover, the box base and the box cover correspond to the main body.
In addition, the “box constituent member” constitutes a part of the board box, and at least a part of various functions related to the structure of the board box, such as exterior, closing, connection, sealing, and fixing of the control board. Therefore, it does not imply a member such as a seal or a plate that exclusively performs an identification function or a decoration function.
In addition, the “position that can be seen without overlapping the control board when viewed from the outside facing the board box” is, for example, a board box placed on the back of the game board. When viewed from the rear, it implies a position that deviates from the control board and can be visually recognized, such as the side, upper, lower, etc. of the control board. If it is a position in front of, it is not applicable because it is visually recognized by overlapping with the control board.

  According to the configuration of the means E1, the color of the box component member makes it possible to clearly identify from the outside whether or not the board box correctly corresponds to the gaming machine, so that the assembly work can be easily performed. it can. In addition, since the box components constituting a part of the board box are colored in a specific color corresponding to the gaming machine, other parts (main body part, etc.) in the board box can be shared and the mold can be changed. Therefore, it is possible to suppress the increase in manufacturing cost.

  Further, at this time, since the box constituent member is arranged at a position where it can be seen without overlapping the control board, a good discrimination effect by the color of the box constituent member can be obtained without impeding the visibility of the control board. . Furthermore, at this time, for example, instead of separately preparing a member having an identification function and arranging it in the substrate box, the identification function is given by coloring the box component member in a specific color. The number of parts does not increase with the addition of.
