That is, one opening / closing mechanism member 100 is provided on the upper left side of the front door 12 and another opening / closing mechanism member 100 is provided on the lower left side of the front door 12.

  Here, the structure and the like of the opening / closing mechanism member 100 will be described below with reference to FIGS. FIG. 3A is a schematic perspective view in which a portion of the lower opening / closing mechanism member 100 when the front door 12 is attached to the main body 11 is enlarged, and FIG. It is the schematic perspective view which expanded and looked at the location of the lower side opening-closing mechanism member 100 in the attached state. FIG. 4A is a diagram illustrating the location of the opening / closing mechanism member 100 in a state where the front door 12 is fully opened with respect to the main body 11, and FIG. 4B illustrates the damper effective range of the opening / closing mechanism member 100. FIG. FIGS. 5A to 5E are views showing the state of 100 opening / closing mechanism members when the front door 12 is closed. FIG. 6 is a view showing an effective damper range of the upper and lower opening / closing mechanism members 100.

  4 and 5 show that the first mechanism member 110 is fitted from the other end surface (upper end surface) opposite to the one end surface (lower end surface) where the fitting hole 124 of the second mechanism member 120 is provided. The second mechanism member 120 is viewed, and for convenience of explanation, the protruding portion 112, the rotating portion 122, the first mark 132, the second mark 134, and the third mark 136 are illustrated by solid lines. Yes.

  As shown in FIG. 3, the opening / closing mechanism member 100 includes a first mechanism member 110 provided on the main body 11, a second mechanism member 120 provided on the front door 12 and detachable from the first mechanism member 110. It has. The second mechanism member 120 includes a rotating portion 122 that is rotatable about the opening / closing axis J1, and is fitted to the protruding portion 112 of the first mechanism member 110 at a position on the axial center of the rotating portion 122. It is assumed that a fitting hole 124 is provided. The opening / closing axis J1 is configured such that the protrusion 112 of the first mechanism member 110 is fitted into the fitting hole 124 of the rotation part 122 of the second mechanism member 120 so that the second mechanism member 120 other than the rotation part 122 is the first. 1 is a fitting shaft that can rotate with respect to the mechanism member 110.

  The fitting hole 124 of the rotating part 122 of the second mechanism member 120 and the protruding part 112 of the first mechanism member 110 are in a first fitting state (FIG. 3B, FIG. 4). (Fitting state shown in (a)), and in the second fitting state in which the fitting hole 124 rotates around its fitting shaft (opening / closing axis J1) with respect to the first fitting state. The shape can be fitted. That is, the fitting hole 124 has a polygonal shape when viewed in the fitting direction, and the protruding portion 112 can be fitted into the fitting hole 124 and is similar to the fitting hole 124 when viewed in the fitting direction. It has a polygonal shape. Specifically, as shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the fitting hole 124 and the protruding portion 112 are regular hexagons in the fitting direction view.

  The second mechanism member 120 includes an alignment mark 130 that indicates the reference position of the rotation unit 122. As shown in FIGS. 3 (a) and 4 (a), the alignment mark 130 is the first when the rotating portion 122 of the second mechanism member 120 is viewed from the front (the fitting hole 124 is viewed from the front). 2 The mechanism member 120 includes a first mark 132 formed at a location other than the rotating portion 122 and a second mark 134 formed at a predetermined location of the rotating portion 122. The state in which the two marks 134 are arranged on the same line is the reference position of the rotating unit 122.

  Further, the first mechanism member 110 includes a third mark 136 as a first mechanism member mark to be aligned with the alignment mark 130 of the second mechanism member 120. Specifically, the third mark 136 is formed at a predetermined location (for example, a predetermined location on the tip surface) of the protruding portion 112.

  As shown in FIG. 3A and FIG. 4A, the second mechanism member 120 has the first mechanism 132 in a state where the first mark 132 and the second mark 134 are aligned on the same line. The protrusion 112 of the first mechanism member 110 is fitted into the fitting hole 124 of the rotating portion 122 of the second mechanism member 120 so that the third mark 136 of the member 110 is aligned with the alignment mark 130 of the second mechanism member 120. Combine.

  As shown in FIG. 3, the opening / closing mechanism member 100 further provides kinetic energy in an effective absorption range (damper effective range) that is a predetermined range in a rotation stroke in which the front door 12 rotates with respect to the main body 11. The damper part 140 which absorbs is provided. Specifically, the second mechanism member 120 uses a predetermined range (for example, 10 ° to 0 ° [when closed]) of the stroke in which the front door 12 is closed with respect to the main body 11 as a damper effective range, and the motion at that time The damper part 140 which absorbs energy is provided.

  In other words, the damper is in an ineffective range from the state in which the front door 12 is fully opened (in the state where the opening angle is 120 °) to the opening angle of 10 °, and the kinetic energy is absorbed by the damper within this range. However, the damper has an effective range from the opening angle of 10 ° to the opening angle of 0 °, and the kinetic energy is absorbed by the damper within this range. Strictly speaking, kinetic energy is absorbed in the process from the opening angle of 10 ° to the opening angle of 0 °, and the reverse (the opening process from the opening angle of 0 ° to the opening angle of 10 °) is performed. Is not absorbed.

  Note that the opening angle of 0 ° means that the front door 12 is closed by the main body 11 and the front door 12 cannot be rotated any more, but if only the function of the damper portion 140 is viewed, FIG. ), The damper effective range is further up to 70 °.

  The damper portion 140 of the present embodiment is manufactured with its damper effective range (about 80 °) and its set position determined in advance. That is, as shown in FIG. 4, the damper portion 140 of the present embodiment has the second end surface (upper end surface) opposite to the one end surface (lower end surface) where the fitting hole 124 of the second mechanism member 120 is located. In a state where the mechanism member 120 is viewed, the first mark 132 of the second mechanism member 120 other than the rotating part 122 and the second mark 134 of the rotating part 122 are aligned on the same line from the first line. Until the mark 132 advances 110 ° counterclockwise, the damper does not work (damper invalid range), and the range from 110 ° to 190 ° is the damper working range (damper effective range). The range from 190 ° to 220 ° and the range advanced 20 ° clockwise from the state shown in FIG. 4A are also the damper invalid range, and the first mark 132 and the second mark 134 Relative relationship It has a structure in which the damper scope is specified by. In other words, the damper unit 140 has a range including a damper effective range and a damper invalid range (for example, less than 360 °, 240 ° in the present embodiment) as a rotatable range, and cannot make a complete round. The thing is adopted. It should be noted that the damper unit 140 may be of a type that can rotate a number of turns.

  As shown in FIG. 2, the front door 12 includes a locking claw 150 that locks with the main body 11 on the left side (on the opposite side to the right side where the opening / closing axis J1 exists) when viewed from the back. If it says in detail, the latching claw 150 is each provided in two places spaced apart by the left side side by the back view of the front door 12. FIG.

  Here, the relationship between the front door 12 and the damper part 40 is demonstrated. That is, the damper portion 140 includes the prior range before the locking claw 150 of the front door 12 hits the main body 11 in the damper effective range in both the first and second fitted states. In short, when the front door 12 is closed with respect to the main body 11, the locking claw 150 comes into contact with the main body 11 after the damper starts to work.

  The opening / closing mechanism member 100 described above corresponds to the opening / closing mechanism portion in the present invention, the first mechanism member 110 described above corresponds to the first member in the present invention, and the second mechanism member 120 described above corresponds to the second in the present invention. It corresponds to a member, the above-described damper part 140 corresponds to the buffer means in the present invention, the above-mentioned locking claw 150 corresponds to the locking part in the present invention, and the above-mentioned first mark 132 and second mark 134 are the main part. The second mark 134 described above corresponds to the alignment mark in the present invention, the rotation mark alignment mark in the present invention, and the third mark 136 described above corresponds to the first member mark in the present invention.

  Here, the attachment of the front door 12 to the main body 11 and the closing operation of the front door 12 will be described.

<Attaching the front door 12 to the main body 11>
Although common to the two upper and lower opening / closing mechanism members 100, the first mark 132 and the second mark 134 of the second mechanism member 120 are arranged on the same straight line as shown in FIGS. 3 (a) and 4 (a). In this state, the protrusion 112 of the first mechanism member 110 is inserted into the fitting hole 124 of the second mechanism member 120 so that the second mark 134 is aligned with the third mark 136 of the protrusion 112 of the first mechanism member 110. By fitting, the front door 12 is attached to the main body 11 as shown in FIG.

  In the state of being attached in this way, as shown in FIGS. 4 (a) and 5 (a), the front door 12 is opened to the maximum with respect to the closed time (0 °) (open angle 120 °). It has become.

<Close operation of front door 12>
As shown in FIGS. 5A to 5D, the front door 12 is closed with respect to the main body 11, that is, the damper is not effective until the front door 12 reaches an opening angle of 120 ° to 10 °. (Damper invalid range) As shown in FIGS. 5D to 5E, the damper is in a valid state until the front door 12 reaches an opening angle of 10 ° to 0 ° (damper effective range). As described above, the locking claw 150 comes into contact with the main body 11 in the middle of the effective range of the damper.

  As shown in FIG. 6, the upper and lower two opening / closing mechanism members 100 have the same damper effective range. In other words, the damper is effective at the opening angle of 10 ° to 0 ° for both the upper and lower opening / closing mechanism members 100.

  As shown in FIG. 5A, after the front door 12 is attached to the main body 11, when the front door 12 opens and closes, the third mark 136 of the protrusion 112 of the first mechanism member 110 and the second mark The second mark 134 of the rotating part 122 of the mechanism member 120 is fixed while being aligned on the same line, and the first mark 132 at a place other than the rotating part 122 of the second mechanism member 120 is rotated. Yes. That is, since the fitting hole 124 of the rotating part 122 is fitted with the fixed protruding part 112, the protruding part 112 and the rotating part 122 (fitting hole 124) are non-rotated, and other than the rotating part 122. It can be seen that the portion (location) of the second mechanism member 120 rotates about the opening / closing axis J1.

  Here, the procedure for changing the damper effective range will be described with reference to FIGS. FIG. 7A is a diagram illustrating the location of the opening / closing mechanism member 100 in a state in which the front door 12 is fully opened with respect to the main body 11, and FIG. 7B is a diagram illustrating the damper effective after the opening / closing mechanism member 100 is changed. It is a figure which shows a range. FIGS. 8A to 8E are views showing the state of 100 opening / closing mechanism members when the front door 12 is closed. FIG. 9 is a diagram showing the effective damper ranges of the upper and lower opening / closing mechanism members 100.

<Damper effective range change procedure>
As shown in FIG. 8A, the rotating unit 122 is rotated 60 ° so that the second mark 134 is rotated 60 ° clockwise relative to the first mark 132.

  Then, the protruding portion 112 of the first mechanism member 110 is fitted into the fitting hole 124 of the second mechanism member 120 so that the first mark 132 and the third mark 136 are aligned on the same line, so that FIG. The front door 12 is attached to the main body 11 as shown in FIG. By doing so, the change of the damper effective range is completed.

  In the state of being attached in this way, as shown in FIGS. 7 (a) and 8 (b), the front door 12 is opened to the maximum with respect to the closed time (0 °) (open angle 120 °). It has become.

<Close operation of front door 12>
As shown in FIGS. 8B to 8E, the front door 12 is closed with respect to the main body 11, but the damper works until the front door 12 reaches an opening angle of 120 ° to 70 °. No damper (damper invalid range), as shown in FIGS. 7B, 8D, and 8E, the damper is in effect until the front door 12 reaches an opening angle of 70 ° to 0 °. Yes (damper effective range). It is also clear that the locking claw 150 comes into contact with the main body 11 in the middle of the effective damper range after this change.

  As shown in FIG. 9, the upper and lower two opening / closing mechanism members 100 are the same and have the changed damper effective range. That is, the damper is effective at an opening angle of 70 ° to 0 ° in any of the upper and lower opening / closing mechanism members 100.

  After the front door 12 is attached to the main body 11 as shown in FIG. 8B, when the front door 12 opens and closes, the third mark 136 of the protrusion 112 of the first mechanism member 110 and the second mark The second mark 134 of the rotating part 122 of the mechanism member 120 is fixed at an opening angle of 60 °, and the first marks 132 other than the rotating part 122 of the second mechanism member 120 are rotated. ing. That is, it can be seen that the protruding portion 112 and the fitting hole 124 are not rotated, and the portion (location) of the second mechanism member 120 other than the rotating portion 122 is rotating.

  As described above, according to the pachinko machine 10 of the first embodiment, the main body 11, the front door 12 that is opened and closed with respect to the main body 11, and the front door 12 with respect to the main body 11 with respect to the opening / closing axis J1. An opening / closing mechanism member 100 that can be freely opened and closed. The opening / closing mechanism member 100 is provided in a first mechanism member 110 provided in the main body 11 and a front door 12 and is detachable from the first mechanism member 110. The second mechanism member 120 includes a rotating portion 122 that can rotate about the opening / closing axis J1, and the first mechanism member 110 is provided at a position on the axial center of the rotating portion 122. A fitting hole 124 to be fitted to the protruding portion 112 is provided, and the opening / closing axis J1 has the protruding portion 112 of the first mechanism member 110 inserted into the fitting hole 124 of the rotating portion 122 of the second mechanism member 120. By inserting, the rotation of the second mechanism member 120 Other than the portion 122 is a fitting shaft that can rotate with respect to the first mechanism member 110, and the opening / closing mechanism member 100 further includes a predetermined part of a rotation stroke in which the front door 12 rotates with respect to the main body 11. Since the damper portion 140 that absorbs the kinetic energy in the damper effective range (absorption effective range) that is the range is provided, the impact force when opening and closing the front door 12 can be reduced, and when opening and closing the front door 12 It is possible to reduce the damage of the front door 12 and the main body 11 (housing) due to the impact force.

  In addition, the fitting hole 124 and the protruding portion 112 are fitted in the first fitting state, which is one fitting state, and at least the fitting hole 124 or the protruding portion 112 with respect to the first fitting state. Since one has a shape that can be fitted even in the second fitting state rotated around the fitting shaft, the fitting state of the fitting hole 124 and the protrusion 112 is changed from the first fitting state to the second fitting state. The effective absorption range of the damper unit 140 can be changed by the change. For example, a certain game store (hall) wants to make the damper part 140 of the front door 12 more effective, or a certain game shop (hall) does not want the damper part 140 of the front door 12 to work much. It can respond suitably. Further, the buffering force of the damper unit 140 can be set (changed) according to circumstances such as the installation angle of the slot machine being different for each amusement store (hall) or the front door 12 not being opened much.

  Further, the opening / closing mechanism member 100 is provided on the left side of the front door 12 in a front view of the front door 12, and the front door 12 can be opened to the main body 11 with the left side of the front door 12 being an opening / closing axis J1, The front door 12 includes a locking claw 150 that locks with the main body 11 on the right side when viewed from the front, and the damper portion 140 is in at least one of the first and second fitted states. Since the pre-range before the locking claw 150 of the front door 12 hits the main body 11 is included in the damper effective range, the front door is in at least one of the first and second fitted states. Absorption of kinetic energy in the turning stroke of the front door 12 can be effective before the twelve locking claws 150 hit the main body 11. That is, the damper can be applied before the locking claw 150 of the front door 12 hits the main body 11. That is, if the locking claw 150 of the front door 12 hits the main body 11 vigorously, the locking claw 150 is deformed or damaged, and the function as a key is lost. The lifetime of 150 can be extended.

  In addition, since two opening / closing mechanism members 100 are provided on the left side of the front door 12 along the side direction, the opening / closing mechanism member 100 is shared by the damper portion 140 of the opening / closing mechanism member 100 to rotate the front door 12. It can absorb the kinetic energy in the travel process.

  The opening / closing mechanism member 100 is provided on the left side in the vertical direction of the front door 12 when the front door 12 is viewed from the front, and the opening / closing axis J1 is axially viewed from the side of the front door 12 and the main body 11. The upper end side is inclined toward the main body 11 as compared with the lower end side of. That is, the opening / closing axis J1 is inclined so as to give momentum to the side that is naturally closed by the weight of the front door 12. Thus, the front door 12 is effective in a configuration in which the front door 12 is momentarily closed in the closing direction with its own weight. That is, it is possible to absorb the kinetic energy in the closing rotation stroke of the front door 12 and to reduce the damage of the front door 12 and the main body 11 due to the impact force when the front door 12 is closed.

  Further, since the second mechanism member 120 includes the alignment mark 130 (the first mark 132 and the second mark 134) indicating the reference position of the rotation unit 122, the rotation unit 122 is moved to the alignment mark 130 (first mark). The first mark 132 and the second mark 134) can be adjusted to the reference position, and the setting of the absorption effective range of the damper part 140 due to the reference position of the rotating part 122 being out of order can be prevented.

  Further, the first mechanism member 110 includes a third mark 136 that is aligned with the alignment mark 130 of the second mechanism member 120 (an alignment mark indicating the reference position of the rotating portion 122 of the second mechanism member 120). Therefore, the first mechanism member 110 can be aligned with the alignment mark 130 of the second mechanism member 120, and the damper portion resulting from the first mechanism member 110 being attached to the second mechanism member 120 in a distorted state. It is possible to prevent a setting deviation of the 140 effective absorption range.

  Further, the fitting hole 124 has a polygonal shape when viewed in the fitting direction, and the protruding portion 112 can be fitted into the fitting hole 124 and is similar to the fitting hole 124 when viewed in the fitting direction. Since it has a polygonal shape, the fitting state of the fitting hole 124 and the protruding portion 112 can be changed from the first fitting state to the second fitting state, and the damper effective range of the damper portion 140 can be changed by the change. (Absorption effective range) can be changed.

  In addition, since the upper and lower two opening / closing mechanism portions are provided with the second mark 134 on the rotating portion 122, the absorption effective range of each opening / closing mechanism portion can be increased by aligning the second marks 134 of the rotating portions 122. Can be aligned.

  Next, a pachinko machine 10 according to a second embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. FIG. 10A is a diagram illustrating a location of the lower opening / closing mechanism member 100 in the fully opened state according to the second embodiment, and FIG. 10B is a diagram illustrating a damper effective range of the opening / closing mechanism member 100. It is. FIG. 11 is a view showing a state where the damper effective range is varied between the upper and lower opening / closing mechanism members 100.

  The second embodiment differs from the first embodiment in that the upper and lower opening / closing mechanism members 100 have different damper effective range setting positions. Specifically, the damper is effective just before the upper opening / closing mechanism member 100 is closed (for example, in an opening angle range of 10 ° to 0 °), and the lower opening / closing mechanism member 100 is just before the maximum opening time (for example, opened). The damper is effective in the range of 110 to 120 degrees.

  In the second embodiment, the damper is effective immediately before the lower opening / closing mechanism member 100 is fully opened (for example, in the range of an opening angle of 110 ° to 120 °). Therefore, the configuration of the lower opening / closing mechanism member 100 will be described in detail, and the description of the same contents as those of the first embodiment will be omitted.

<Change of damper effective range of lower opening / closing mechanism member 100>
As shown in FIG. 10A, the lower opening / closing mechanism member 100 moves the rotating portion 122 180 ° so that the second mark 134 is rotated 180 ° clockwise relative to the first mark 132. Rotate.

  Then, by fitting the protrusion 112 of the first mechanism member 110 into the fitting hole 124 of the second mechanism member 120 so that the first mark 132 and the third mark 136 are aligned and close on the same line, The front door 12 is attached to the main body 11 as shown in FIG. By doing so, the damper effective range is changed to, for example, an open angle range of 110 ° to 120 °.

  In the state of being attached in this way, as shown in FIG. 10A, the front door 12 is in the maximum open state (opening angle 120 °) with respect to the closed time (0 °).

<Close operation of front door 12>
As shown in FIG. 11, when the front door 12 is closed, the dampers at the upper and lower two opening / closing mechanism members 100 are not effective until the front door 12 reaches an opening angle of 120 ° to 10 ° (damper invalid range). ), The damper of the upper opening / closing mechanism member 100 is in effect until the front door 12 reaches an opening angle of 10 ° to 0 ° (damper effective range). It is also clear that the locking claw 150 comes into contact with the main body 11 in the middle of the effective damper range.

<Opening operation of front door 12>
As shown in FIG. 11, when the front door 12 is opened, the dampers at the two upper and lower opening / closing mechanism members 100 are not effective until the front door 12 reaches an opening angle of 0 ° to 110 ° (damper invalid range). ), Until the front door 12 reaches an opening angle of 110 ° to 120 °, the damper of the lower opening / closing mechanism member 100 is in effect (damper effective range).

  As shown in FIG. 11, the upper opening / closing mechanism member 100 has a damper immediately before the front door 12 closes (for example, in the range of an opening angle of 10 ° to 0 °), and the lower opening / closing mechanism member 100 is connected to the front door 12. The damper is effective immediately before the maximum opening angle (for example, in the range of an opening angle of 110 ° to 120 °).

  As described above, according to the pachinko machine 10 of the second embodiment, the damper part 140 of the upper opening / closing mechanism part has a predetermined range (opening) of the opening rotation stroke in which the front door 12 opens with respect to the main body 11. Absorbs kinetic energy in an effective damper range (absorption effective range) that is an angle of 120 ° to 10 °. The damper part 140 of the lower opening / closing mechanism part has a damper effective range (absorption) that is a predetermined range (a range of an opening angle of 110 ° to 120 °) in a closing rotation stroke in which the front door 12 is closed with respect to the main body 11. Absorb kinetic energy in the effective range). Therefore, the damper part 140 of the upper opening / closing mechanism part can be a damper when the front door 12 is closed, and the damper part 140 of the lower opening / closing mechanism part can be a damper when the front door 12 is opened.

  In the second embodiment, the damper part 140 of the upper opening / closing mechanism part is a damper when the front door 12 is closed, and the damper part 140 of the lower opening / closing mechanism part is a damper when the front door 12 is opened. The damper part 140 of the opening / closing mechanism part may be a damper when the front door 12 is closed, and the damper part 140 of the upper opening / closing mechanism part is a damper when the front door 12 is opened.

Further, a plurality of opening / closing mechanism members 100 may be provided, and some of the opening / closing mechanism members 100 may have a configuration in which the damper portion 140 is removed from the opening / closing mechanism member 100. In this case, the kinetic energy in the rotation stroke of the front door 12 can be absorbed by the damper portion 140 of the predetermined opening / closing mechanism member 100 among the plurality of opening / closing mechanism members 100.

  (2) In each embodiment described above, the opening / closing mechanism member 100 is provided on the left side when viewed from the front, but may be provided on the right side, the upper side, the lower side, or the like.
