  Further, as shown in FIG. 34, a block holding member 49 is attached to the opening edge of the slide guide hole 65B on the front surface of the sub door main board 56, and the block holding member 49 and the sub door main board 56 are temporarily engaged. A stop block 48 is slidably supported. Specifically, the temporary locking block 48 has a rectangular parallelepiped block main body portion 48H that passes back and forth through the slide guide hole 65B, and sliding protrusions 48T and 48T are formed from the upper and lower surfaces of the block main body portion 48H. It protrudes. Each sliding protrusion 48T extends in the longitudinal direction of the slide guide hole 65B, and its cross section is T-shaped. The sliding protrusions 48T and 48T are arranged between the upper and lower opening edges on the front side of the slide guide hole 65B and the block holding member 49, and the temporary locking block 48 slides in the longitudinal direction of the slide guide hole 65B. Supported as possible.

  As shown in FIG. 35, the block holding member 49 has a stopper wall 49B facing the front side surface of the block main body portion 48H from the protrusion receiving hole 65A side, and a front side surface of the block main body portion 48H from the opposite side. An opposing spring contact wall 49C is provided, and a spring support shaft 49D protrudes from the spring contact wall 49C toward the block main body portion 48H. On the other hand, the front portion of the block main body 48H has a housing structure that is open to the front and one side of the spring contact wall 49C side. The compression coil spring 49E is inserted into the outside of the spring support shaft 49D, and is assembled in a compressed state between the spring contact wall 49C and the inner surface of the left side wall 48A of the block main body 48H. As a result, the temporary locking block 48 is urged toward the protrusion receiving hole 65A, and normally the temporary locking block 48 is located at the origin position where the block main body portion 48H and the stopper wall 49B abut (shown in FIG. 35). ).

  An operation portion 48V extends in a cantilever shape from the right side surface of the rear portion of the block main body portion 48H, and a locking projection 48S protrudes rearward from the tip. Further, a triangular protrusion 48K is provided on the left side surface of the block main body 48H. Specifically, the triangular protrusion 48K projects the left side wall 48A of the block main body part 48H rearward, folds the inclined wall 48B diagonally left frontward from the rear end part of the left side wall 48A, and the inclined wall 48B The left side wall 48A is connected by a triangular rib 48C. Then, in the process of rotating the sub front door 40 to the closed position, the tip of the temporary locking projection 52 slides on the inclined wall 48B of the triangular protruding portion 48K and moves the temporary locking block 48 from the original position to the right side. When the sub front door 40 reaches the closed position, as shown in FIG. 36, the left apex portion of the triangular protrusion 48K is received in the temporary protrusion 52, and the front surface of the triangular protrusion 48K is the temporary protrusion. 52 is engaged. In this way, the sub front door 40 is temporarily locked in the closed position with respect to the game board 11Z.

  When the game board 11Z is assembled to the front frame 14 in the temporarily locked state, as shown in FIG. 37, the release protrusion 17 of the front frame 14 enters the protrusion receiving hole 50K and the inclined surface 17B of the release protrusion 17 The temporary locking block 48 moves in a direction away from the temporary fixing protrusion 52 in sliding contact with the inclined wall 48B of the triangular protrusion 48K, and the engagement between the triangular protrusion 48K and the temporary fixing protrusion 52 is released. . That is, when the game board 11Z is assembled to the front frame 14, the temporary locking of the sub front door 40 to the game board 11Z is released, and the sub front door 40 becomes rotatable.

  Even if the game board 11Z is not assembled to the front frame 14, the operation portion 48V can be operated to release the engagement between the triangular protrusion 48K and the temporary fixing protrusion 52. Further, an interference avoidance hole 56E (see FIG. 26) through which the engagement piece 15Y (see FIG. 9) of the lock mechanism 15 is inserted and removed without interference is formed on the right rear surface of the sub front door 40. Thereby, when the game board 11Z with the sub front door 40 is assembled to the front frame 14, only the sub front door 40 of the front door 30 is prevented from being locked in the closed state with respect to the front frame 14. .

<About the connecting structure of the upper decorative member to the sub door main panel of the sub front door>
By the way, as shown in FIG. 33, the sub front door 40 is assembled to the game board 11Z before being assembled to the front frame 14 and is temporarily locked in the closed position, and the main front door 31 is moved to the front frame 14. As shown in FIG. 38, when the game board 11Z is assembled to the front frame 14, the main front door 31 closes because it interferes with the upper decoration member 45. I can't do that. In order to solve this problem, as shown in FIG. 39, the upper decorative member 45 and the sub door main board 56 are connected by a multi-link mechanism 70, and as shown in FIG. Can be lifted up with respect to the sub door main board 56. In order to rotate the upper decorative member 45 with respect to the sub door main board 56, as shown in FIG. 28, the hook pin 47 supported by the sub door main board 56 so as to be directly movable is movable as described above. It is necessary to move to the upper end position.

  The multi-link mechanism 70 is disposed at two positions near the both ends in the lateral direction of the sub front door 40, and as shown in FIG. 41, the first support member 71 fixed to the sub door main board 56 and the decorative base board 46. The second support member 72 fixed to the first link 73 and the second link 74 are connected to each other. The first support member 71 has a structure in which the support plate portion 71B is bent and raised forward from the left edge portion of the fixed plate portion 71A fixed to be overlapped with the front surface of the sub door main board 56, and the second support member 72 is The support plate portion 72B is bent backward from the right edge portion of the fixed plate portion 72A fixed to be overlapped with the rear surface of the decorative base board 46. Further, as shown in FIG. 40, these support plate portions 71B and 72B are arranged in a common vertical plane, and the origin position (FIG. 40) where the front surface of the sub door main board 56 and the rear surface of the decorative base board 46 are parallel to each other. 39), the support plate portion 71B of the first support member 71 is positioned above the support plate portion 72B of the second support member 72.

  As shown in FIG. 42, a lower support hole 71C and an upper support hole 71D are formed through the support plate portion 71B of the first support member 71, and the support plate portion 72B of the second support member 72 also has a lower A side support hole 72C and an upper support hole 72D are formed through. As shown in FIG. 39, the upper support hole 71D of the first support member 71 is positioned obliquely forward with respect to the lower support hole 71C, and the upper support hole 72D of the second support member 72 is also located on the lower side at the origin position. It is located obliquely forward with respect to the support hole 72C. At the origin position, the lower support hole 72C of the second support member 72 is located directly below the lower support hole 71C of the first support member 71, and the upper support hole 72D of the second support member 72 is the first support hole 72D. The support member 71 is positioned obliquely downward and forward with respect to the upper support hole 71D. Then, as shown in FIG. 40, the first link 73 is overlapped on the right side surface of the support plate portions 71B and 72B, and the rivets 79A and 79A inserted through the upper support holes 71D and 72D respectively are the second links 74. The rivets 79B and 79B are inserted into the connecting holes 73A and 73A at both ends, and the second link 74 is overlapped with the left side surfaces of the support plate portions 71B and 72B and inserted into the lower support holes 71C and 72C, respectively. Is inserted into the connecting holes 74A and 74A (see FIG. 42) at both ends of the second link 74.

  As shown in FIG. 43, a line segment L1 between the centers of the upper support hole 71D and the lower support hole 71C of the first support member 71 (hereinafter referred to as “first base link line segment L1”) is the second support. The length of the line segment L2 between the centers of the upper support hole 72D and the lower support hole 72C of the member 72 (hereinafter referred to as “second base link line segment L2”) is approximately ½. Further, a line segment L3 of both connection holes 73A and 73A of the first link 73 (hereinafter referred to as “first intermediate link line segment L3”) is a line segment between the centers of both connection holes 74A and 74A of the second link 74. It is slightly shorter than L4 (hereinafter referred to as “second intermediate link line segment L4”). Furthermore, the second intermediate link line segment L4 is approximately twice as long as the second base link line segment L2.

<About non-parallel link mechanism>
As described above, since the multi-link mechanism 70 is a non-parallel link mechanism, the upper decorative member 45 rotates while moving the center of rotation. As shown in FIG. 43, the upper decorative member 45 has a stopper portion provided at one end of the second link 74 at a retracted position where the rear surface of the decorative base board 46 is perpendicular to the front surface of the sub door main board 56. 74S is brought into contact with the sub door main board 56 and positioned. Specifically, the multi-link mechanism 70 is assumed to be a parallel link mechanism (the first and second base link segments L1 and L2 have the same length, and the first and second intermediate link segments L3 and L4). 39, the upper decorative member 45 moves in a parallel manner while maintaining a fixed posture diagonally upward and forward from the origin position shown in FIG. 39 (that is, without rotating). On the other hand, since the multi-link mechanism 70 is a non-parallel link mechanism, the multi-link mechanism 70 moves upward in an unconventional operation combining the parallel movement element and the rotational movement element.

  At this time, when the upper decorative member 45 starts to move in the vicinity of the origin position, the upper decorative member 45 is moved forward parallel to the decorative base board 46 (specifically, the rear surface of the decorative base board 46 in detail). The base plate 46 gradually moves away from the sub-door main board 56 by the operation including a large amount of the element of the parallel movement to the front). As it approaches the horizontal position and approaches the retracted position, it includes many elements in the rearward parallel movement substantially parallel to the decorative base board 46 (in detail, the rear surface of the decorative base board 46) that has become substantially horizontal. It becomes operation. As a result, the upper decorative member 45 in the state of being overlapped in front of the sub door main board 56 at the origin position is in a state of being overlapped above the sub door main board 56 at the retreat position, as shown in FIG. In this position, the amount of the upper decorative member 45 projecting forward of the sub door main board 56 can be suppressed, and the moving space of the upper decorative member 45 can be made compact. Further, the operation of the upper decorative member 45 by the multi-link mechanism 70 is different from a simple rotation operation around a single stationary rotation axis, and includes an operation including many elements of parallel movement according to the position. Since it changes to an operation including many rotational movement elements, the rotation of the upper decorative member 45 due to a simple moment load can be restricted only by the multi-link mechanism 70 without locking the upper decorative member 45 one by one. it can. As a result, for example, the upper decorative member 45 at the retracted position returns to the original position due to its own weight, and further, for example, the upper decorative member 45 is moved only by contacting the upper decorative member 45 at the original position from below. It is possible to restrict the upward rotation easily. In addition, since the operation of the upper decorative member 45 in the vicinity of the origin position includes many elements for translation in the front-rear direction, the first connector 39 (see FIG. 22A) and the second connector 54 ( There is also an effect that the insertion / extraction of (see FIG. 19) can be performed smoothly.

<About the lock structure between the sub-door main panel and the upper decorative member>
The upper decorative member 45 is located at the origin position with respect to the sub door main board 56 by the engagement between the pin 47 and the pin hole 46P (see FIG. 27) and the engagement between the coupling block 33 and the lock hole 46M (see FIG. 25). Locked to. In addition to these, the upper decorative member 45 can also be locked at the origin position by a lock slider 75 assembled over the second link 74 as shown in FIG.

  The lock slider 75 has a rectangular plate portion 75H that overlaps the left side surface of the second link 74. A rectangular hole 75C is formed in the rectangular plate portion 75H, and a rivet 79C that is passed through the long hole 75C has a second link. It is fixed to a mounting hole 74 </ b> C (see FIG. 42) formed in 74. A plurality of guide protrusions 74E and 74F protrude from both side edge portions of the second link 74 and are slidably contacted to both side surfaces of the rectangular plate portion 75H. Accordingly, the lock slider 75 is supported in a state where only the second link 74 is allowed to move in the longitudinal direction.

  A locking piece 75T is extended from one side edge portion of the rectangular plate portion 75H located on the upper decorative member 45 side in a state where the upper decorative member 45 is disposed at the origin position (state of FIG. 44), The locking piece 75T is sandwiched between the guide protrusions 74E and 74E of the second link 74, and the movable range of the lock slider 75 is restricted. In addition, an operation piece 75A is extended from one side edge of the rectangular plate portion 75H opposite to the locking piece 75T. The operation piece 75A has a substantially L-shaped structure with the tip side bent upward, and the vertical side portion of the operation piece 75A is bent sideways by a bending line inclined downward and downward to form a pressing portion 75B. .

  Corresponding to the operation piece 75A, a vertically long rectangular lock hole 70X is formed in the sub door main board 56, and the side portion of the operation piece 75A is a lock hole in a state where the upper decorative member 45 is disposed at the origin position. The vertical side portion of the operation piece 75 </ b> A is positioned behind the sub-door main board 56 through 70 </ b> X. As shown in FIG. 44, when the lock slider 75 is arranged at the engagement position at the upper end of the movable range, the vertical side portion of the operation piece 75A faces the upper opening edge of the lock hole 70X, and the operation piece 75A. Cannot be removed in front of the lock hole 70X. That is, the upper decorative member 45 is locked at the origin position by the lock slider 75. Also, as shown in FIG. 45, when the lock slider 75 moves to the disengagement position near the lower end of the movable range, the entire vertical side portion of the operation piece 75A faces the lock hole 70X from the rear, and the operation piece 75A is It can be pulled out in front of the lock hole 70X. That is, the lock of the upper decorative member 45 to the origin position by the lock slider 75 is released.

  In order to urge the lock slider 75 to the engagement position, as shown in FIG. 46, spring locking hooks 74G and 75F are provided on each side edge of the lock slider 75 and the second link 74, respectively. A tension coil spring 76 is stretched between them. Further, when the lock slider 75 is moved from the engagement position shown in FIG. 44 to the disengagement position shown in FIG. 45 with the upper decorative member 45 placed at the origin position, the lock slider 75 is engaged. An engagement spring 77 is attached to the second support member 72 so as to be temporarily locked at the release position.

  As shown in FIG. 47, the engagement spring 77 is made of a spring plate material fixed in a state where it is overlapped with the fixed plate portion 72A of the second support member 72, and the lower end portion of the spring plate material is warped toward the lock slider 75. A triangular locking projection 77A that is folded forward is provided. In addition, the fixing plate portion 72A of the second support member 72 is formed with a slit 72E through which the lower side portion of the triangular locking projection 77A passes. Then, as shown in FIG. 44, the lower surface protrusion 77C formed by folding the lower end of the triangular locking protrusion 77A downward is normally locked to the front opening edge of the slit 72E, and is fixed from the fixed plate portion 72A. The amount of protrusion of the triangular locking projection 77A to the rear is constant. The decorative base board 46 is formed with a through hole 46X through which the lower surface protrusion 77C can pass. Further, an inclined surface 75S inclined upward is formed at the tip of the locking piece 75T.

  Accordingly, when the lock slider 75 is moved from the engagement position shown in FIG. 44 to the engagement release position shown in FIG. 45 in a state where the upper decorative member 45 is disposed at the origin position, the locking piece 75T is in the process. The inclined surface 75S is in sliding contact with the inclined portion of the triangular locking projection 77A, and the triangular locking projection 77A is pushed into the decorative base board 46 side. When the lock slider 75 reaches the disengagement position, the locking piece 75T passes through the triangular locking projection 77A, and the triangular locking projection 77A is elastically restored, as shown in FIG. The locking piece 75T is locked to the lower surface of the locking protrusion 77A. Thereby, as described above, the lock slider 75 is temporarily locked at the disengagement position. In this state, when the upper decorative member 45 is moved from the origin position, the locking piece 75T is separated from the triangular locking projection 77A after the operating piece 75A is pulled forward from the lock hole 70X, and the elastic force of the tension coil spring 76 is reached. As a result, the lock slider 75 returns to the engaged position.

  When the upper decorative member 45 is moved from the disengagement position side to the origin position, the pressing portion 75B is engaged against the tension coil spring 76 by sliding contact between the outer surface of the pressing portion 75B and the opening edge of the lock hole 70X. When the upper decorative member 45 reaches the origin position when the upper decorative member 45 reaches the origin position, the pressing portion 75B passes through the lock hole 70X, the lock slider 75 returns to the engaged position, and the upper decorative member 45 returns to the origin position. Locked.

  The description regarding the configuration of the pachinko gaming machine 10 according to the present embodiment has been described above. Next, the effect of embodiment is demonstrated. In the gaming machine manufacturer, for example, as illustrated in FIG. Here, in the support frame 12, the front frame 14 and the outer frame 13 are assembled and closed. Moreover, in the front door 30, as shown in FIG. 17, it divides into the main front door 31 and the sub front door 40, and the connection blocks 33 and 33 of the main front door 31 are a lock release position (refer FIG. 24). Place it in. Further, in the sub front door 40, as shown in FIG. 39, the upper decorative member 45 is arranged at the origin position of the sub door main board 56 and locked by the lock slider 75, and as shown in FIG. 47 operation portions 47A are locked to the lateral side portions 59B of the guide slits 59.

  The above-described support frame 12, game board 11Z, and the like are assembled as follows. That is, for example, the sub front door 40 is assembled after the main front door 31 is assembled to the game frame 11Z assembled to the support frame 12. Then, the sub front door 40 is rotated rearward or the main front door 31 is rotated forward, and the lower portion of the sub front door 40 is overlapped with the upper front surface of the main front door 31. Then, the positioning protrusion 36 of the main front door 31 shown in FIG. 21 is fitted into the positioning hole 46N of the sub front door 40 shown in FIG. 18, and the main front door 31 and the sub front door 40 are positioned. 21, front projections 33B and 33B of the coupling block 33 are received in the lock holes 46M and 46M of the sub front door 40 as shown in FIG. 18, and further, as shown in FIG. A pin hole 35 </ b> P of the main front door 31 is disposed below 47. Therefore, the operation portion 47A of the heel pin 47 is removed from the lateral side portion 59B (see FIG. 26) and lowered so as to be inserted into the pin hole 35P of the main front door 31, as shown in FIG. Then, the coupling block 33 is moved from the unlocking position to the locking position, and the decoration base board 46 of the sub front door 40 is fixed to the upper front surface of the main front door 31. As a result, the main front door 31 and the sub front door 40 are integrated to form one front door 30.

  The first connector 39 and the second connector 54 are coupled between the upper front surface of the main front door 31 and the rear surface of the upper decorative member 45. Thereby, the electrical decoration board in sub front door 40 and the electrical decoration board in main front door 31 are electrically connected. Then, the harness extending downward from the control board at the rear of the game board 11Z is pulled out to the lower left front of the front frame 14, and the harness connector is connected to the harness connector pulled out from the lower left of the rear surface of the main front door 31. Connecting. Thereby, the electric decoration board in sub front door 40 in front door 30 and the electric decoration board in main front door 31 will be in the state connected to the control board of game board 11Z.

  Finally, the front door 30 is closed to complete the pachinko gaming machine 10. Here, if the lock by the coupling block 33 has been forgotten before the front door 30 is closed, the interference protrusion 33D of the coupling block 33 shown in FIG. 21 becomes the interference rib 11K of the game board 11Z shown in FIG. The front door 30 cannot be closed due to interference. This prevents forgetting the lock. FIG. 1 shows a state where the completed pachinko gaming machine 10 is viewed from the front. In FIG. 1, the upper portion of the gaming area R1 is hidden by the upper decorative member 45, but in front of the pachinko gaming machine 10. The seated player looks up at the game area R1 from below the upper decorative member 45 and can visually recognize the upper area of the game area R1. Further, an area above the game area R1 in the game board 11Z is covered with the upper decorative member 45 to prevent wide exposure.

  Now, the pachinko gaming machine 10 is installed with the outer frame 13 fixed to a gaming island provided in the gaming hall. And if it is used over a fixed period (for example, 3 to 6 months), so-called “board change” is performed in which the game board 11Z of the pachinko gaming machine 10 is replaced with a new game board 11Y. 48 and 49 show an example of a new gaming board 11Y, and FIG. 50 shows a pachinko gaming machine 10 that has become a so-called “new stand” after the board change. Hereinafter, the game board 11Z before the board change and the new game board 11Y will be distinguished from each other by appropriately describing them as “old game board 11Z” and “new game board 11Y”.

  As shown in comparison with FIG. 12 and FIG. 48, the new game board 11Y includes a bracket 50 assembled to the game board body 11 having the same outer shape as the game board body 11 of the old game board 11Z. A display window 11W different from the old game board 11Z is formed in the game board main body 11 of the new game board 11Y, and the liquid crystal display device on the back side of the display window 11W has an image effect different from that of the old game board 11Z. It is displayed. In addition, in the game area R1 of the new game board 11Y, an accessory or the like different from the old game board 11Z is assembled, and the guide rail 11G surrounding the game area R1 is, for example, above the guide rail 11G of the old game board 11Z. The game area R1 of the new game board 11Y is larger than the game area R1 of the old game board 11Z.

  Here, if the old game board 11Z of the pachinko gaming machine 10 is simply replaced with the new game board 11Y, the upper part of the game area R1 in the new game board 11Y is largely covered by the front door 30, or the new game board 11Y There may be a problem that the contents of the game and the front door 30 do not match. Also, if you look at the pachinko gaming machine 10 that has become a new stand (especially when viewed from diagonally forward), you may not notice that it has been replaced with the new gaming board 11Y, or even if you notice it, There may be a problem of lack of freshness in appearance. On the other hand, when the so-called “new stand replacement” is performed in which the front door 30 is also replaced together with the replacement of the old game board 11Z, the above-mentioned problems are solved, but a large amount of labor and cost become problems.

  On the other hand, in the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment, only the sub front door 40 of the front door 30 is replaced with a new sub front door 40 in accordance with the replacement from the old game board 11Z to the new game board 11Y. be able to. The new sub front door 40 is the same as the sub front door 40 for the old game board 11Z except for the shape of the upper decorative member 45. Specifically, as shown in comparison with FIGS. 33 and 49, the new upper decoration member 45 is different in overall decoration mode from the upper decoration member 45 for the old game board 11Z. Further, the lower edge portion of the upper decorative member 45 is positioned above by the upper decorative member 45 for the old game board 11Z, and has a curved shape along the shape of the upper part of the game area R1 of the new game board 11Y. Further, although not shown, the new upper decorative member 45 is not provided with, for example, the curved protrusion 53 (see FIG. 19), and the lower edge of the rear surface of the upper decorative member 45 is the bridge of the main front door 31. It has a shape that only overlaps the front surface of the portion 31D (see FIG. 21).

  The board change is performed as follows. In the gaming machine manufacturer, as shown in FIG. 49, a new sub-front door 40 is connected to the hinge component 50X of the new gaming board 11Y, and the sub-front door 40 is connected to the temporary fixing protrusion 52 shown in FIG. By engaging with the temporary locking block 48, it is temporarily locked in the closed position, and the new game board 11Y and the sub-front door 40 are assembled into an assembly 11X (hereinafter referred to as "new game board assembly 11X"). Is shipped to the gaming machine hall.

  On the other hand, in the gaming machine hall, in order to remove the old gaming board 11Z from the pachinko gaming machine 10, the front door 30 is opened, the coupling block 33 is moved to the unlocked position, and the hook pin 47 is pulled out from the main front door 31. Keep it. Further, a connector (not shown) between the old game board 11Z and the main front door 31 is also removed. And after removing the old game board 11Z from the front frame 14 together with the sub front door 40, the sub front door 40 is temporarily locked to the old game board 11Z by the temporary locking projection 52 and the temporary locking block 48, Alternatively, after removing the sub front door 40 from the hinge component 50X of the old game board 11Z held in the front frame 14, the old game board 11Z is removed from the front frame 14, and the removed sub front door 40 is removed. Attached to the hinge component 50X of the old game board 11Z and temporarily locked in a closed state. In addition, what is necessary is just to operate the operation lever 42T of the sub front door 40 shown in FIG. 31 in order to remove the sub front door 40 from the hinge structure part 50X. Further, if the sub front door 40 is temporarily locked to the old game board 11Z removed from the front frame 14 by the temporary fixing protrusion 52 and the temporary lock block 48, then the old game board 11Z is restored. The removal work can be easily performed.

  Next, the new game board assembly 11X is attached to the front frame 14. For that purpose, the main front door 31 is opened, the U-shaped lever 16U (see FIG. 8) is brought forward, and the left side of the game board body 11 of the new game board assembly 11X is shifted from the right side to the rear side. In a state, it is inserted between the engaging protrusions 14T and 14T and the positioning protrusion wall 14V. And the right edge part of the game board main body 11 is moved back, and the outer edge part of the game board main body 11 is made to address the positioning protrusion wall 14V. Then, in the process, the lower right portion of the game board main body 11 is received in the U-shaped lever 16U and the U-shaped lever 16U is raised, and the release protrusion 17 provided on the front frame 14 is temporarily attached to the new game board assembly 11X. As shown in FIG. 37, the temporary locking block 48 and the temporary locking projection 52 are disengaged from each other in sliding contact with the locking block 48. Therefore, the sub front door 40 is opened, and the rotation lock 14K (see FIG. 13) hidden behind the sub front door 40 is operated to be engaged with the upper right portion of the game board main body 11.

  Next, as shown in FIG. 45, the lock sliders 75 and 75 of the sub front door 40 are pushed down to move to the disengagement position, and the upper decorative member 45 of the sub front door 40 is rotated from the origin position to the upper retracted position. (See FIG. 20B). Then, after rotating the main front door 31 or the sub front door 40 to a position where the main front door 31 is behind the sub front door 40, the upper decorative member 45 is returned to the origin position. Then, the lock sliders 75 and 75 are elastically returned to the engaged position, and the upper decorative member 45 is locked at the origin position. After that, if the same work as the assembly work of the pachinko gaming machine 10 having the old game board 11Z is performed, the assembly of the pachinko gaming machine 10 as a new machine having the new game board 11Y is completed.

  Note that, in contrast to the exchange from the game board 11Z to the game board 11Z, the same operation as described above may be performed for the exchange from the game board 11Y to the game board 11Z. Moreover, although the assembling work of the pachinko gaming machine 10 at the time of changing the board has been described as an example, it may be applied to the assembling work when the pachinko gaming machine 10 is newly manufactured.

  As described above, the pachinko gaming machine 10 according to the present embodiment includes the front door 30 of a mechanism that is not conventionally provided, and the front door 30 is located above the main front door 31 and the main front door 31 having the window portion 30W. Since it is divided into the sub front door 40, when changing the board, only the sub front door 40 of the front door 30 can be exchanged in accordance with the new game board 11Y. Thereby, the front door 30 is changed to a fresh atmosphere suitable for the new game board 11Y without spending a great deal of time and expense such as “replacement of a new stand” for exchanging the entire front door 30 together with the new game board 11Y. Can do. That is, according to this pachinko gaming machine 10, it is possible to make a modification with high freshness and reduced labor and cost by changing the board.

  Moreover, since the sub front door 40 is partially overlapped with the window 30W of the front door 30, the size or shape of the portion of the sub front door 40 that overlaps the window 30W is changed, or The size and shape of the window 30W that can be visually recognized by the player can be easily changed by eliminating the portion overlapping the window 30W. This eliminates the need to match the size and shape of the game area R1 in the new game board 11Y with the window 30W for the game area R1 in the old game board 11Z. In other words, the size and shape of the game area R1 of the new game board 11Y can be significantly changed at the time of changing the board, and the freshness can be further enhanced by changing the board.

  The sub front door 40 is divided into a front upper decorative member 45 and a rear sub door main board 56 at an intermediate position in the front-rear direction, and only the upper decorative member 45 is overlapped on the front side of the main front door 31. Therefore, the sub door main board 56 has the same structure between the sub front door 40 of the old game board 11Z and the sub front door 40 of the new game board 11Y, so that parts can be shared.

  Moreover, the sub front door 40 is attached by providing the bracket 50 in the game boards 11Z and 11Y. And since the sub front door 40 is attached to the game boards 11Z and 11Y, the carrying-in / out operation | work with respect to the game hall at the time of board change can be performed easily. In addition, in the game hall, for example, a new game board 11Y and the sub front door 40 that are not compatible with each other are replaced in combination, or the sub front door 40 is forgotten to be exchanged. be able to. Moreover, since the sub front door 40 can be attached to and detached from the game boards 11Z and 11Y, it is possible to change the board in a state where the sub front door 40 and the game boards 11Z and 11Y are integrated. The door 40 and the game board 11Z can be attached and detached separately to change the board, and an easy method can be selected by the operator.

  Furthermore, although the sub front door 40 is attached to the game boards 11Z and 11Y, when the main front door 31 is opened, the sub front door 40 is also opened by interfering with the upper decorative member 45 of the sub front door 40. The opening operation can be easily performed as compared with the case where the front door 30 is simply divided into a plurality of parts and opened separately. In addition, the main front door 31 and the sub front door 40 are connected to each other so as to be integrally rotatable to form one front door 30 and rotate around a common central axis along one side edge of the support frame 12. Therefore, the opening / closing operation can be easily performed. Thereby, maintenance such as ball clogging can be quickly performed. In addition, since the first and second connectors 39 and 54 fixed to the main front door 31 and the sub front door 40 are connected at the same time, the main front door 31 and the sub front door 40 are connected. Apart from the connection operation, there is no need to perform connector connection work. That is, the connector connection work can be performed efficiently.

  Further, the first connector 39 and the second connector 54 are disposed on the front and rear surfaces of the bridge portion 31 </ b> D and the receiving groove portion 40 </ b> X that engage with each other on the main front door 31 and the sub front door 40. Therefore (see FIGS. 18 and 21), foreign matter can be prevented from approaching the first and second connectors 39 and 54. Furthermore, since these first and second connectors 39 and 54 are drawer connectors, a positional shift between the first and second connectors 39 and 54 is absorbed, and a smooth connector connection is possible. In addition, since the second connector 54 is allowed to move vertically and horizontally in the sub front door 40, this also enables a smooth connector connection.

  Furthermore, according to the structure of the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment, the assembling work can be performed easily and efficiently. That is, the sub front door 40 used in a movable state with respect to the game board 11Y is temporarily locked to the game board 11Y when the game board 11Y is assembled to the support frame 12. Thereby, the assembly work of game board 11Y can be performed easily. When the game board 11Y is assembled to the support frame 12, the release protrusion 17 of the support frame 12 releases the temporary locking of the sub front door 40. That is, after the game board 11Y is assembled to the support frame 12, the temporary locking of the sub front door 40 is released without performing a separate operation for releasing the temporary locking. Thereby, the assembly work can be performed efficiently.

  Further, the upper decorative member 45 operated in the panel changing operation is connected to the sub door main board 56 by the multi-link mechanism 70 which is a non-parallel link mechanism, and the parallel movement element and the rotational movement element are combined. The movement is performed in an unconventional manner. That is, the upper decorative member 45 starts to move in the vicinity of the origin position and includes an operation that includes many elements that move forward, and includes an operation that includes many elements that move in the middle. It becomes an operation including many elements in the translation to. As a result, the upper decorative member 45 in the state of overlapping the front of the sub door main board 56 at the origin position finally overlaps the front of the sub door main board 56 as shown in FIG. The amount of protrusion of the upper decorative member 45 can be reduced. In addition, there is an effect that the rotation of the upper decorative member 45 due to a simple moment load can be restricted only by the multi-link mechanism 70 without locking the upper decorative member 45 one by one. As a result, for example, the upper decorative member 45 at the retracted position returns to the original position due to its own weight, and further, for example, the upper decorative member 45 is moved only by contacting the upper decorative member 45 at the original position from below. It is possible to restrict the upward rotation easily. In addition, since the operation of the upper decorative member 45 in the vicinity of the origin position includes many elements for translation in the front-rear direction, the first connector 39 (see FIG. 22A) and the second connector 54 ( There is also an effect that the insertion / extraction of (see FIG. 19) can be performed smoothly.

  In addition, since the lock slider 75 that locks the upper decorative member 45 at the origin position is temporarily locked at the unlock position, the upper decorative member 45 that is locked at the origin position is moved to the retracted position. Is a conventional type in which the two operations of unlocking with the lock slider 75 and the operation of moving the upper decorative member 45 to the retracted position can be performed separately, and these two operations must be performed simultaneously. Excellent operability compared to. Therefore, a plurality of lock sliders 75 for locking one upper decorative member 45 can be provided, and the strength of the lock can be increased.
