In FIG. 3, for the sake of convenience, the configuration in the game area PE of the board of the game board 80 is omitted.

  At a substantially central portion of the front surface of the resin base 70, a game board accommodating portion 71 for accommodating the game board 80 is formed. The game board accommodating portion 71 is recessed on the back side (rear side) of the resin base 70 to divide the accommodation space for accommodating the game board 80, and the game board 80 attached to the resin base 70 is fitted in the accommodation space It is in a state of In the present embodiment, in particular, the game board 80 is detachably attached to the resin base 70 from the front of the resin base 70, thereby facilitating maintenance work and the like. Further, a plurality of fixing levers 74 for fixing the game board 80 to the inner frame 13 are provided on the front surface of the inner frame 13.

  The game board 80 has wood plywood and a sheet material covering the front plate surface of the plywood, and the front surface is exposed to the front side of the resin base 70 through the open part of the game board storage unit 71. . On the exposed portion, that is, on the front surface of the game board 80, a game area PE where a game ball flows down is formed.

  The gaming board 80 is formed with a plurality of large and small openings penetrating in its own thickness direction (longitudinal direction) by being subjected to router processing. Each opening is provided with a general winning opening, a variable winning device, an operation opening, a through gate, a variable display unit, and the like. When the game balls enter the general winning opening, the variable winning device and the operation opening, the game balls are detected by the detection switch, and a predetermined number of payout balls are paid out based on the detection results. In addition, an out port 81 is provided at the lowermost portion of the game board 80, and the game balls that did not enter the various winning ports etc. are discharged from the game area PE through the out port 81.

  Further, on the game board 80, a large number of nails are implanted to appropriately disperse and adjust the flow-down path of the game ball, and various members (features) such as a windmill are disposed. The flow paths of the game balls are differentiated by various structures such as nails and windmills, and the above-mentioned winning on the general winning opening etc. is adjusted so as to occur with appropriate establishment.

  Here, below the gaming board accommodating portion 71 in the resin base 70, a game ball firing mechanism 110 for firing the game ball to the game area PE based on the operation of the game ball firing handle 40 (see FIG. 1) is provided There is. More specifically, below the game board accommodating portion 71 in the resin base 70, a firing mechanism setting portion 72 for installing the game ball launching mechanism 110 is formed. The game ball emission handle 40 is provided on the front door frame 14 (see FIG. 2).

  The game ball launch mechanism 110 installed in the launch mechanism installation section 72 is located closer to the pivoting tip of the inner frame 13. The game ball firing mechanism 110 supplies a solenoid to launch a game ball placed at a predetermined launch standby position, a launch rail defining the launch direction of the game sphere launched by the solenoid, and the game ball to the launch standby position. The ball feed mechanism and the base plate on which the various components are mounted are provided as main components, and the base plate is integrated with the inner frame 13 by being screwed to the resin base 70. There is.

  The game ball launch mechanism 110 (specifically, a solenoid) is electrically connected to a power source and a launch control device (not shown). The output shaft of the solenoid moves in the telescopic direction, ie, the rail direction of the firing rail based on the power supply and the output of the electrical signal from the firing control device, and the gaming ball placed in the firing standby position is the gaming area PE, Is launched toward the induction rail 100 attached to the game board 80.

  The guide rail 100 divides the play area PE together with the rail member 200 so that the outer shape of the play area PE is substantially circular. Further, the induction rail 100 is composed of an inner rail 101 and an outer rail 102 arranged to face each other with a gap slightly larger than the diameter of the gaming ball, and the guiding passage of the gaming ball by the region sandwiched by both rails. 103 (guide passage) is formed. The guiding passage 103 has an inlet portion 104 opened to the tip side of the firing rail (the pivoting tip side of the inner frame 13) and an outlet portion 105 located at the top of the game area PE. The game ball fired based on the operation of the solenoid is guided to the game area PE by moving in the order of the firing rail → the induction rail 100 (the inlet portion 104 → the outlet portion 105).

  In addition, on the tip side of the exit portion 105 in the game board 80, specifically, near the tip of the inner rail 101, a reverse return preventing member 106 is attached which prevents the game ball reaching the game area PE from coming back into the guiding passage 103. It is suppressed that the game ball which has reached the game area PE ahead of time prevents the launch of the following game ball from being blocked.

  Each of the rails 101 and 102 constituting the guide rail 100 is in the shape of a circular arc centered on the approximate center of the game area PE. For this reason, the gaming ball passing through the guiding passage 103 is easily moved (sliding or rolling) along the outer rail 102, that is, in contact with the outer rail 102, by the centrifugal force generated in itself.

  The induction rail 100 is operated when the game ball emission handle 40 is operated to the extent that the game ball can reach the game area PE, that is, when the operation amount of the game ball emission handle 40 exceeds the first prescribed amount. In addition, the game ball launched from the firing rail is formed to land on the entrance portion 104 of the guide rail 100, specifically, on the outer rail 102 at a specific site located on the extension of the firing rail.

  The outer rail 102 is formed such that the direction of the tangent at the specific portion thereof is substantially the same as the rail direction of the launch rail. By aligning the movement direction of the launched game ball and the tangent direction of the specific part, the impact caused by the landing of the game ball is reduced and the bounce of the game ball is suppressed, and the game rails are smoothly guided by the guide rail 100 Is possible.

  The outer rail 102 is provided with a plurality of fixing pins as fixing means for fixing the outer rail 102 to the game board 80. The fixing pins are disposed along the outer rail 102, and the specific site is set between the fixing pins. Thereby, it is possible to allow slight bending deformation (elastic deformation) of the outer rail 102 at a specific site, and to reduce the impact when the game ball lands on the specific site.

  The rail member 200 is a member for partitioning an area where the game ball can move (the induction passage 103 and the game area PE) together with the outer rail 102, and is disposed near the outer edge of the game board 80 in a front view . Specifically, they are disposed along the edge of the game board 80 extending vertically to the right as viewed from the front of the game board 80. The rail member 200 includes a first rail portion 210 and a second rail portion 220, and a third rail portion 230 disposed between the first rail portion 210 and the second rail portion 220. The first rail portion 210, the second rail 220 portion, and the third rail portion 230 are formed of a synthetic resin such as polycarbonate, which has high dimensional stability and is excellent in mechanical physical properties.

  A turning rubber 240 is attached to the upper end portion of the rail member 200 (first rail portion 210). Therefore, the game ball fired with a predetermined force or more from the game ball firing mechanism 110 strikes the return rubber 240 and the force is attenuated and rebounded.

  The guide rail 100 and the launch rail are arranged such that the inlet portion 104 of the guide rail 100 and the tip end portion of the launch rail face each other diagonally across the lower edge of the game board 80. That is, both rails 100 are disposed such that the entrance portion 104 (specifically, a specific portion) of the same induction rail 100 and the leading end portion of the firing rail are displaced laterally in the vicinity of the lower edge of the game board 80. As a result, while both rails 100 are brought close to the lower edge of the game board 80, a gap of a predetermined distance is formed between the entrance portion 104 of the guide rail 100 and the firing rail.

  A ball ball passage 55 (see FIG. 2) is disposed below the gap formed in this manner. The foul ball passage 55 is integrally formed with the passage forming unit 50 of the front door frame 14. If the game ball fired from the game ball firing mechanism 110 does not reach the game area PE but moves backward in the guiding passage 103 as a far ball, those far balls enter the far ball passage 55 through the above-mentioned gap. It becomes. The foul ball passage 55 leads to the lower door passage 52 on the front door side, and the gaming ball entering the far ball passage 55 is discharged to the lower plate 34 shown in FIG. Thus, the interference between the foul ball and the game ball to be fired next is suppressed.

  A passage forming portion 73 is provided on the left side of the firing rail in the resin base 70 by penetrating the resin base 70 in the front-rear direction. The passage forming portion 73 has a main body side upper tray passage and a main body side lower tray passage, and the upstream sides of the main body side upper tray passage and the main body side lower tray passage communicate with the gaming ball distribution portion. Further, the receiving portion 53 of the passage forming unit 50 attached to the front door frame 14 is inserted below the passage forming portion 73, and the front door side upper plate passage 51 is disposed below the main body side upper plate passage. The front door side lower tray passage 52 is disposed below the main body lower tray passage.

  On the back surface of the inner frame 13 and the game board 80, various control boards are arranged vertically or horizontally so that they can be arranged vertically or horizontally or stacked one on top of the other, and a game ball supply device for supplying game balls A protective cover 120 made of synthetic resin is attached. That is, a tank 121 opened upward is provided at the top of the protective cover 120, and gaming balls supplied from an island facility of the game hall are successively supplied to the tank 121. Then, the required number of game balls are appropriately paid out by a predetermined electrical configuration such as a payout motor (not shown). The game balls paid out from the payout device are supplied to the upper tray 33 (see FIG. 1) through the payout passage and the like.

Fastening members such as screws and bolts and fixing pins (hereinafter referred to as "insertion members") are inserted into insertion holes 210a formed from the front to the back at a plurality of locations of the first rail portion 210, and these insertion members Is fixed to the board surface 80a, the first rail portion 210 is fixed to the board surface 80a of the game board 80. The insertion member is inserted into the insertion holes 210a formed at a plurality of locations of the first rail portion 210 to fix the first rail portion 210 to the board surface 80a, so the first rail portion 210 is centered on the board surface 80a centering on the insertion member Swinging and rattling are prevented. Further, since the first rail portion 210 can be easily removed from the game board 80 when the pachinko machine 10 is discarded, the first rail portion 210 can be easily sorted and collected for recycling.

  The outer side surface 212 of the first rail portion 210 is formed in a planar shape, and when the first rail portion 220 is fixed to the game board 80, the outer side surface 212 is identical to the end face 80 b connected to the board surface 80 a of the game board 80 It is configured to be located in the plane. As a result, when the first rail portion 210 is fixed to the gaming board 80, if the outer surface 212 of the first rail portion 210 is flush with the end face 80b of the gaming board 80, Positioning of the 1 rail portion 210 in the left-right direction can be performed. Thereby, the work of fixing the first rail portion 210 to the game board 80 can be efficiently performed, and the fixing operability of the first rail portion 210 can be improved.

  A return rubber 240 for absorbing the energy of the game ball is attached to the upper end portion 211 a of the inner side surface 211 of the first rail portion 210. The inner side surface 211 is formed in a smooth circular arc shape gradually approaching the outer edge (end surface 80b) of the game board 80 as viewed from the front as it goes from the upper end portion 211a to the lower end portion 211b. The lower end portion 211b of the inner side surface 211 is smoothly connected to the end face 80b of the game board 80 in a front view. As a result, gaming balls moving (rolling or sliding) along the inner side surface 211 of the first rail portion 210 can be smoothly guided to the inner side surface 231 of the third rail portion 230.

  The second rail portion 220 is a portion which is disposed below the gaming board 80 by a predetermined distance from the lower end portion 211 b of the inner side surface 211 of the first rail portion 210 and disposed along the edge of the gaming board 80 There is provided an inner side surface 221 which is formed in a triangular prism shape and formed in an arc shape in a front view. The bottom surface of the second rail portion 220 is in contact with the board surface 80 a of the game board 80. The second rail portion 220 is fixed to the board surface 80 a of the game board 80 by inserting the insertion member into the insertion hole 220 a formed in the second rail portion 220 and fixing the fastening member and the like to the board surface 80 a. As a result, since the second rail portion 220 can be easily removed from the game board 80 when the pachinko machine 10 is discarded, the second rail portion 220 can be easily sorted and collected for recycling.

  The outer side surface 222 of the second rail portion 220 is formed flat, and when the second rail portion 220 is fixed to the game board 80, the outer side surface 222 is identical to the end face 80 b connected to the board surface 80 a of the game board 80 It is configured to be located in the plane. As a result, when fixing the second rail portion 220 to the game board 80, if the outer surface 222 of the second rail portion 220 is flush with the end face 80b of the game board 80, Positioning of the two rail portions 220 in the left-right direction can be performed. Thus, the work of fixing the second rail portion 220 to the game board 80 can be efficiently performed, and the fixing operability of the second rail portion 220 can be improved.

  The inner side surface 221 of the second rail portion 220 is formed in an arc shape gradually separated from the end surface 80 b (outer edge) of the game board 80 as viewed from the front as it goes downward from the upper end portion 221 a. The upper end 221a of the inner side surface 221 is smoothly connected to the end face 80b of the game board 80 when viewed from the front. As a result, gaming balls moving (rolling or sliding) along the inner side surface 231 of the third rail portion 230 can be smoothly guided to the inner side surface 221 of the second rail portion 220.

  The third rail portion 230 is a portion connected to the first rail portion 210 and the second rail portion 220 to form a passage for gaming balls, and is formed of a plate-like member having a planar inner side surface 231. It is done. In the third rail portion 230, the inner side surface 231 is disposed in the same plane as the end face 80b of the gaming board 80 in a front view. That is, since the third rail portion 230 is disposed on the same line as the outer edge (end surface 80b) of the board surface 80a of the game board 80 in a front view, regardless of the thickness of the third rail portion 230, The game area PE can be expanded to the end of the board 80a.

  As shown in FIG. 5 (b), the third rail portion 230 is extended toward the back side of the game board 80. As shown in FIG. 5C, the extension portion 232 faces the end surface 80b of the gaming board 80 and is in contact with the end surface 80b. The extension portion 232 is formed with an insertion hole 232a (see FIG. 5B), and the insertion member P is inserted into the insertion hole 232a and fixed to the end surface. Thus, the third rail portion 230 can be easily fixed to the end face 80 b of the game board 80. Since the insertion member P for fixing the third rail portion 230 is fixed to the end face 80b of the game board 80 and the board surface 80a is not used, the insertion member P is prevented from obstructing the movement of the game ball, The design of the board 80a can be improved. Further, at the time of discarding the pachinko machine 10, the third rail portion 230 can be easily removed from the game board 80 simply by removing the insertion member P, so the third rail portion 230 can be easily separated and collected for recycling.

  In addition, the first rail portion 210, the second rail portion 220, and the third rail portion 230 are set to the same height for the height of projection from the board surface 80a of the game board 80 (the left and right direction in FIG. 5B). There is. Thus, when the front door frame 14 (see FIG. 2) is closed after the game board 80 is attached to the inner frame 13, the front ends of the first rail portion 210, the second rail portion 220 and the third rail portion 230 The glass 22 is disposed on the substrate 22 so that the glass 22 and the board surface 80a of the game board 80 can be substantially parallel.

  Here, in the conventional pachinko machine, as described above, the rail is fixed to the board surface of the game board using the flange projecting outward from the outer peripheral portion of the strip-like rail. When attaching a rail near the outer edge of the board of the game board, the flange was cut off because there was no space for arranging the flange. The flange was a means for attaching the rail and a means for increasing the mechanical strength (rigidity) of the rail. Therefore, there is a problem that not only can the part of the rail from which the flange is cut down can not be fixed to the game board, but the mechanical strength is lowered.

  On the other hand, in the pachinko machine 10 of the present embodiment, the third rail portion 230 is formed by the extension portion 232 by providing the third rail portion 230 with the extension portion 232 facing the end face 80 b of the game board 80. In the thickness direction. By providing the extension part 232 and enlarging the member, the mechanical strength of the third rail part 230 or the mechanical strength of the member itself by the extension part 232 being in contact with the end face 80b of the game board 80 is improved. The strength of the rail (third rail portion 230) attached near the outer edge of the board surface 80a of the game board 80 is secured. Furthermore, by fixing the extension part 232 to the end face 80b of the game board 80, the game area PE is expanded.

  The third rail portion 230 has a length from the upper end 230a to the lower end 230b (vertical direction in FIG. 5A) is a distance from the lower end portion 211b of the first rail portion 210 to the upper end portion 221a of the second rail portion 220 Length) is set to be larger. Thus, in a state where the first rail portion 210, the second rail portion 220 and the third rail portion 230 are fixed to the game board 80, the upper end 230a side and the lower end 230b of the third rail portion 230 The overlapping portions 233 and 234 are formed by overlapping the side surfaces and the outer side surfaces 212 and 222 of the first rail portion 210 and the second rail portion 220 in the left-right direction.

  Here, since the planar outer side surfaces 211 and 212 of the first rail portion 210 and the second rail portion 220 are configured to be positioned in the same plane as the end surface 80 b of the game board 80, the extension portion 232 is When the end face 80 b of the game board 80 is abutted, the third rail portion 230 abuts on the outer surfaces 212 and 222 of the first rail portion 210 and the second rail portion 220 in the overlapping portions 233 and 234.

  The overlapping portions 233 and 234 are formed on the outer side of the lower end portion 211 b of the first rail portion 210 and the upper end portion 221 a of the second rail portion 220, whereby the lower end portion 211 b of the first rail portion 210 and the second rail portion 220 The upper end portion 221 a can be reinforced by the overlapping portions 233 and 234. The lower end portion 211b of the first rail portion 210 and the upper end portion 221a of the second rail portion 220 are both formed thin because the inner side surfaces 211 and 221 smoothly connect with the inner side surface 231 of the third rail portion 230. Although the game ball is easily damaged due to a collision or the like, the reinforcement by the overlapping portions 233 and 234 can prevent the damage.

  Further, overlapping portions 233 and 234 are provided at the joint between the first rail portion 210 and the second rail portion 220 and the third rail portion 230, and the first rail portion 210, the second rail portion 220 and the third rail portion 230 The contact makes it difficult to insert a wire or the like between the first rail portion 210 and the second rail portion 220 and the third rail portion 230, and can prevent fraud. Further, even if the plate-like third rail portion 230 is inclined (rocked) to the inside (left side in FIG. 5A), the third rail is formed on the outer side surfaces 212 and 222 of the first rail portion 210 and the second rail portion 220. Since the portion 230 is hit and blocked, it is possible to suppress the inward swing of the third rail portion 230.

  As shown in FIG. 5 (c), the game board 80 mounted on the inner frame 13 is laterally and front-to-back by the spacer 77 disposed on the side wall 75 of the inner frame 13 (FIG. 5 (c) vertical direction). Movement is regulated. In addition, since the spacer 77 is provided, even if the third rail portion 230 is disposed on the end face 80b of the game board 80 and the game area PE is enlarged, the game board 80 is attached to the inner frame 13 as in the conventional pachinko machine. It is possible. The rail member 200 is not limited to synthetic resin, and can be formed of other materials such as metal.

  Next, a second embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 6 (a) is a partial front view of the game board 80 according to the second embodiment, and FIG. 6 (b) is a side view of the game board 80 as viewed in the direction of arrow VIb of FIG. 6 (c) is a cross-sectional view of the game board 80 taken along the line VIc-VIc of FIG. 6 (a). Hereinafter, the same parts as those of the first embodiment are denoted by the same reference numerals, and the description thereof will be omitted, and different parts will be described. Moreover, illustration of penetration hole 210a, 220a is abbreviate | omitted for the simplification of drawing.

  As shown to Fig.6 (a), the rail member 300 in 2nd Embodiment is the 1st rail part 310, the 2nd rail part 320, and the 3rd rail part with respect to the rail member 200 in 1st Embodiment. An engagement portion 335 is provided for engaging with 330. The engaging portion 335 is provided at the position of the two overlapping portions 233 and 234 at the upper end side and the lower end side of the third rail portion 330, and the front end of the third rail portion 330 (the front side of the sheet of FIG. 6A) From the inside to the inside (the left side in FIG. 6 (a)) so as to protrude like a bowl.

  As shown in FIG. 6C, the engaging portion 335 is a convex portion protruding from the front end (upper side in FIG. 6C) of the third rail portion 330 toward the inside (left side in FIG. 6C). A bent portion 335b is provided along the inner side surface 331 of the third rail portion 330 and is spaced apart from the inner side surface 331 by a predetermined distance. Engaged portions 315 and 325 engageable with the engaging portion 335 are formed in the first rail portion 310 and the second rail portion 320 with respect to the engaging portion 335.

  The engaged portions 315, 325 have substantially the same width as the convex portion 335a at the front ends of the first rail portion 310 and the second rail portion 320 (the front side in FIG. 6A) (vertical direction in FIG. 6A). And it is recessedly provided by the depth (FIG. 6 (c) up-down direction) substantially the same as the thickness of the convex part 335a. By engaging the engaged portions 315 and 325 with the engaging portion 335, the front end of the third rail portion 330 is prevented from swinging to the outside of the end face 80b of the game board 80. As a result, it is possible to suppress vibration of the third rail portion 330 due to a collision or the like of the gaming ball to the third rail portion 330. In addition, since the first rail portion 310, the second rail portion 320, the third rail portion 330, and the engaging portion 335 are set to have the same height, the glass 22 disposed on the front door frame 14 Thus, it is possible to prevent a gap from being generated between the first rail portion 310, the second rail portion 320, the third rail portion 330, and the engaging portion 335.

  Further, in a state in which the engaging portion 335 of the third rail portion 330 is engaged with the engaged portions 315 and 325 of the first rail portion 310 and the second rail portion 320 (in a suspended state), the third rail portion 330 Is restricted from moving backward (in FIG. 6 (a) on the side of the paper surface). Therefore, the engagement portion 335 of the third rail portion 330 is engaged with the engaged portions 315, 325 of the first rail portion 310 and the second rail portion 320 to temporarily fix the third rail portion 330, and then inserted. The extension portion 232 can be fixed to the end face 80 b of the game board 80 by the member P. Since the engaging portion 335 can position the extension portion 232 when it is fixed to the end face 80b of the game board 80, the assembling operability of the third rail portion 330 can be improved.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 6A, in a state in which the engaging portion 335 and the engaged portions 315 and 325 are engaged, the first on the upstream side of the engaging portion 335 where the gaming ball flows down (moves) The inner side surface 311 of the rail portion 310 is formed to be flush with the inner side surface of the bent portion 335 b. Similarly, the inner side surface 321 of the second rail portion 320 on the upstream side of the engaging portion 335 where the gaming ball flows down (moves) is formed to be flush with the inner side surface of the bent portion 335b. Thus, the game ball can be prevented from being repelled by the bending portion 335 when the game ball passes through the bending portion 335b (engaging portion 335), so the game ball can be used as the first rail portion 310 and the second rail portion. It can be moved along the inner surface 311, 321 of 320. As a result, the trajectory of the gaming ball can be stabilized.

  As shown in FIG. 6C, the bent portion 335b is formed to be gradually thinner as it approaches the board surface 80a, and the inner side surface of the bent portion 335b approaches the board surface 80a. It is formed to extend toward the end face 80 b of the Thus, when the game ball passes through the bent portion 335b (engagement portion 335), the game ball can not easily be hit, so the trajectory of the game ball can be stabilized.

  Next, a third embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 7 (a) is a partial front view of the game board 80 in the third embodiment, and FIG. 7 (b) is a side view of the game board 80 as viewed in the direction of arrow VIIb of FIG. 7 (a). 7 (c) is a cross-sectional view of the game board 80 taken along the line VIIc-VIIc in FIG. 7 (a). Hereinafter, the same parts as those of the first embodiment are denoted by the same reference numerals, and the description thereof will be omitted, and different parts will be described. In Drawing 7, illustration of the lower end side of the 3rd rail part 430 and illustration of the 2nd rail part are omitted for convenience.

  As shown to Fig.7 (a), the channel | path formation member 107 is arrange | positioned facing the rail member 400 in 3rd Embodiment. The passage forming member 107 is a member for forming the passage 108 of the gaming ball between the outer rail 100 and the rail member 400, and the unevenness is formed on the surface facing the outer rail 100 and the rail member 400. This is to reduce the flow-down speed of the gaming ball together with the return rubber 240 attached to the upper end of the rail member 400 (first rail portion 210).

  As shown in FIG. 7 (b), the third rail portion 430 is a plate-like member connected to the first rail portion 210, and the extending portion 232 at the end face 80 b of the game board 80 is inserted by the insertion member P. It is fixed. The third rail portion 430 has a rib 432 protruding from the inner side surface 431 at a predetermined interval. The rib 432 is provided so as to project from the board surface 80a of the game board 80 to the front end (left end in FIG. 7B) of the third rail portion 430. Since the rib 432 is protruded from the third rail portion 430, the rigidity of the third rail portion 430 can be improved. Further, since the rigidity of the third rail portion 430 can be improved even if the thickness of the third rail portion 430 is reduced, the amount of protrusion (corresponding to the thickness) from the end face 80 b of the game board 80 can be reduced.

  Further, when the third rail portion 430 is fixed to the end face 80b of the game board 80, the ribs 432 are arranged in an uneven shape intersecting the vertical direction of the game board 80 where the game balls flow down (see FIG. 7 (a)). As a result, when passing through the passage 121, the gaming ball flows down while colliding with the unevenness and the rib 432 of the passage forming member 107, so that the flowing speed of the gaming ball can be reduced. The unevenness between the passage forming member 107 and the rib 432 of the third rail portion 430 are arranged to be offset in the vertical direction of the game board 80, so that the space between the passage forming member 107 and the third rail portion 430 is The game balls flowing down collide with the bumps and ribs 432 substantially alternately. Since the game balls can be moved in a zigzag manner as well as the unevenness of the game balls and the number of collisions with the ribs 432 can be increased, the flow-down speed of the game balls can be effectively reduced.

  Further, the rib 432 is provided on the inner side surface 431 of the third rail portion 430 so as to project from the board surface 80 a of the game board 80 to the front end of the third rail portion 430. When the third rail 430 is fixed to the end face 80 b of the game board 80, the extension part 232 is placed on the end face 80 b of the game board 80 to bring the rib 432 into contact with the board 80 a of the game board 80. Thereby, the movement of the third rail portion 430 to the rear (the right side in FIG. 7B) is restricted. The rib 432 can position the extension 232 when it is fixed to the end face 80b of the game board 80, so that the assembling workability of the third rail 430 can be improved.

  Next, a fourth embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 8 (a) is a partial front view of the game board 80 according to the fourth embodiment, and FIG. 8 (b) is a side view of the game board 80 as viewed in the direction of arrow VIIIb of FIG. 7 (a). Hereinafter, the same parts as those of the third embodiment are denoted by the same reference numerals, and the description thereof will be omitted, and different parts will be described. In Drawing 8, illustration of the lower end side of the 3rd rail part 430 and illustration of the 2nd rail part are omitted for convenience.

  As shown in FIG. 8A, the board surface of the game board 80 is replaced with the return rubber 240 (attached to the upper end of the first rail portion 210) in the third embodiment (see FIG. 7A). A speed control member 241 is disposed at 80a. The speed reducing member 241 is a member for reducing the speed of the gaming ball by passing the gaming ball moving inside the outer rail 100, and in the present embodiment, a tubular member having a curved passage inside. It is formed of Since the inner diameter of the passage is formed slightly larger than the diameter of the gaming ball, the gaming ball is reduced to a substantially constant speed while the gaming ball passes through the passage. By the game ball whose speed is reduced passing the passage 121, it is possible to more effectively reduce the flow-down speed of the game ball.

  In addition, the speed reduction member 241 is not limited to this, and it is possible to employ other speed reduction members. As another speed reduction member, for example, one provided with a member biased in one direction by an elastic force such as a spring or gravity. The speed reducing member is disposed in the passage of the game ball, and the movement of the game ball is reduced by passing the member against the biasing force, whereby the kinetic energy of the game ball is reduced and the speed of the game ball is reduced.

  Next, a fifth embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. In the first to fourth embodiments, the case where the third rail portions 230, 330, and 430 are fixed to the end face 80b of the game board 80 has been described. On the other hand, in the fifth embodiment, the case where the third rail portion 530 is fixed to the board surface 80 a of the game board 80 will be described. FIG. 9 (a) is a partial front view of the game board 80 according to the fifth embodiment, and FIG. 9 (b) is a side view of the game board 80 as viewed in the direction of arrow IXb of FIG. 9 (c) is a cross-sectional view of the game board 80 taken along line IXc-IXc of FIG. 9 (a). Hereinafter, the same parts as those of the first embodiment are denoted by the same reference numerals, and the description thereof will be omitted, and different parts will be described. In Drawing 9, illustration of the lower end side of the 3rd rail part 530 and illustration of the 2nd rail part are omitted for convenience.

  As shown to Fig.9 (a), the rail member 500 in 5th Embodiment is provided with the overhang | projection part 532 which protrudes in the horizontal direction from the inner surface 531 of the 3rd rail part 530. As shown in FIG. The overhanging portion 532 is a portion brought into contact with the board surface 80a of the game board 80, and continuously extends from the boundary of the third rail portion 530 and the extending portion 232 along the longitudinal direction of the third rail portion 530 to one side. It is overhangingly formed, and an insertion hole 532a is bored.

  In order to fix the third rail 530 to the game board 80, the extension 232 (see FIG. 9B) extended from the third rail 530 is brought into contact with the end face 80b of the game board 80 and stretched. After bringing the projecting portion 532 into contact with the board surface 80a of the game board 80, the insertion member P is inserted into the insertion hole 532a, and the overhanging portion 532 is fixed to the board surface 80a. The overhanging portion 532 is fixed to the panel surface 80a using the insertion member P in the same manner as the first rail portion 210 and the second rail portion 220 (see FIG. 5A). The direction in which the insertion member P is inserted into the rail portion 220 and the direction in which the insertion member P is inserted into the overhang portion 532 can be the same. Since the first rail portion 210, the second rail portion 220 and the third rail portion 530 can be fixed to the board surface 80a by inserting the insertion member P from one direction, the operator who performs the fixing work using the insertion member P can use the board surface 80a. There is no need to change the posture between the side and the end face 80b, and the fixing workability can be improved.

  In addition, even if the force to try to tilt the third rail portion 530 to the outside of the game board 80 is applied after the third rail section 530 is fixed to the game board 80, the extension part 532 plays a game. Since it is in contact with the end face 80 b of the board 80, the third rail portion 530 is prevented from being inclined to the outside of the game board 80. Further, since the overhanging portion 532 extends in the longitudinal direction of the third rail portion 530, the overhanging portion 532 functions as a rib, and the bending strength in the longitudinal direction of the third rail portion 530 can be improved.

  The overhanging portion 532 has an inclined portion 532b which becomes gradually thinner in the vicinity of the outer edge, and as shown in FIG. 9C, the slope of the inclined portion 532b faces the panel surface 80a when fixed to the panel surface 80a. It is formed to be inclined downward. Thus, when the gaming ball having passed through the speed reducing member 241 (see FIG. 9A) flows down to the overhanging portion 532 through the passage 121, the gaming ball climbs the inclined portion 532b to reduce energy. Ru. Thereby, the flow-down speed of the game ball can be reduced. Further, since the inclined portion 532b (the projecting portion 532) protrudes with respect to the board surface 80a, the gaming ball can be guided along the inclined portion 532b.

  Next, a sixth embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. In the fifth embodiment, the case where the overhanging portion 532 fixed to the board surface 80 a of the game board 80 is continuously extended along the longitudinal direction of the third rail portion 530 has been described. On the other hand, in the sixth embodiment, the case where the overhanging portion 632 is discontinuously projected to the third rail portion 630 will be described. FIG. 10 (a) is a partial front view of the game board 80 according to the sixth embodiment, and FIG. 10 (b) is a side view of the game board 80 as viewed in the direction of arrow Xb of FIG. 10 (a). 10 (c) is a cross-sectional view of the game board 80 taken along line Xc-Xc in FIG. 10 (a). Hereinafter, the same parts as those of the first embodiment are denoted by the same reference numerals, and the description thereof will be omitted, and different parts will be described. In Drawing 10, illustration of a part of 1st rail part 210 and 3rd rail part 630 and illustration of a 2nd rail part are omitted for convenience.

  As shown in FIG. 10A, the rail member 600 in the sixth embodiment is provided with an overhanging portion 632 extending horizontally from the inner side surface 631 of the third rail portion 630. The overhanging portion 632 is a portion brought into contact with the board surface 80a of the game board 80, and is overhangingly formed from a plurality of locations at the boundary between the third rail portion 630 and the extending portion 232. A hole 632a is bored. On the other hand, a recess 80 c for receiving the overhanging portion 632 is recessed at a predetermined depth of the same thickness as the overhanging portion 632 at a predetermined location of the gaming board 80 where the overhanging portion 632 is in contact. .

  To fix the third rail portion 630 to the game board 80, the extension 232 (see FIG. 10B) extended from the third rail portion 630 is brought into contact with the end face 80b of the game board 80 and stretched. After the projecting portion 632 is mounted in the recess 80c formed on the board surface 80a of the game board 80, the insertion member P is inserted into the insertion hole 632a, and the overhanging portion 632 is fixed to the board surface 80a.

  As shown in FIG. 10C, the overhanging portion 632 is embedded in the recess 80c recessed in the board surface 80a of the game board 80, and the overhanging part 632 becomes substantially flush with the board surface 80a of the game board 80. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the course of the game ball moving on the board 80 a of the game board 80 from being changed at the overhanging portion 632. In addition, when the overhanging portion 632 protrudes from the board surface 80a of the gaming board 80, the speed of the gaming ball is large (in particular, when the rail member 600 is used as a part of the guiding rail 100 (see FIG. 3)) The game ball jumps to the front side of the game board 80 from the overhang portion 632, and the trajectory of the game ball becomes unstable, or the game ball contacts the glass 22 (see FIG. 2) and the glass 22 is damaged by an impact. There is something to do. These can be solved by embedding the overhanging portion 632 in the board 80 a of the game board 80.

  A seventh embodiment will now be described with reference to FIGS. 11 and 12. In the first to sixth embodiments, the case where the rail members 200, 300, 400, 500, and 600 are formed by being divided into a plurality of members has been described. On the other hand, in the seventh embodiment, the case where the rail member 700 is integrally formed will be described. 11 (a) is a partial front view of the game board 180 according to the seventh embodiment, and FIG. 11 (b) is a side view of the game board 180 as viewed in the direction of arrow XIb of FIG. 11 (a). 11 (c) is a rear view of the game board 180 viewed from the direction of arrow XIc in FIG. 11 (b). In addition, in FIG. 11, illustration of a part of 3rd rail part 730 is abbreviate | omitted for convenience.

  As shown in FIG. 11A, the rail member 700 includes a first rail portion 710 disposed along the edge on the upper end side of the board surface 180a of the game board 180, and the predetermined first rail portion 710. The second rail portion 720 disposed along the lower edge of the lower surface 180a of the game board 180 at intervals, and the first rail portion 710 and the second rail portion 720 are connected in series to the game board 180. And a third rail portion 730 disposed along the edge of the board 180a. The first rail portion 710, the second rail portion 720, and the third rail portion 730 are integrally formed of synthetic resin such as polycarbonate.

  The first rail portion 710 is a portion where the inner side surface 711 formed in an arc shape in a front view is formed and the insertion hole 710 a is formed from the front surface to the back surface. Are connected. The back surface of the first rail portion 710 is in contact with the board surface 180a of the game board 180, and the insertion member is inserted into the insertion hole 710a and fixed to the board surface 180a. It is fixed.

  A return rubber 740 for absorbing the energy of the game balls is attached to the upper end of the inner side surface 711 of the first rail portion 710. The inner side surface 711 is formed in an arc shape that gradually approaches the outer edge (end surface 180 b) of the game board 180 as viewed from the front as it goes from the upper side to the lower side (FIG. 11A lower side). The inner side surface 711 of the first rail portion 710 is continuous with the inner side surface 731 of the third rail portion 730. Thus, the gaming ball moving (rolling or sliding) along the inner side surface 711 of the first rail portion 710 can be guided to the inner side surface 731 of the third rail portion 730.

  The second rail portion 720 is a portion spaced apart below the gaming board 180 by a predetermined distance from the first rail portion 710 and disposed along the edge of the gaming board 180, and the third rail portion above 730 are connected in series. The second rail portion 720 includes an inner side surface 721 formed in an arc shape in a front view, and the rear surface is in contact with the board surface 180 a of the game board 180. The second rail portion 720 is fixed to the board surface 180 a of the game board 180 by inserting the insertion member into the insertion hole 720 a formed in the second rail portion 720 and fixing the insertion members to the board surface 180 a. The rail member 700 is fixed to the board surface 180a of the game board 180 by the insertion members inserted into the first rail portion 710 and the second rail portion 720, so the rail member can be easily removed from the game board 180 when the pachinko machine 10 is discarded. It can be removed. Thus, the rail members 700 can be easily separated and collected for recycling.

  The third rail portion 730 is a portion for forming a passage of the gaming ball together with the first rail portion 710 and the second rail portion 720, and the inner side surface 731 is an inside of the first rail portion 710 and the second rail portion 720. The side surfaces 711 and 721 are continuously connected in a seamless manner. The third rail portion 730 is integrally formed with the first rail portion 710 and the second rail portion 720, so that the rail member 700 can be easily attached to and removed from the board surface 180a of the game board 180.

  The outer surface 701 of the rail member 700 is located in the same plane as the end surface 180 b of the gaming board 180 when viewed from the front. Since the third rail portion 730 is disposed on the board surface 180 a of the game board 180, the inner side surface 731 of the third rail portion 730 is the outer edge of the game board 180 by the thickness of the third rail portion 731 (end surface 180 b ) Is placed inside.

  As shown in FIG. 11B, the third rail portion 730 has an extending portion 702 extending toward the back side (right side in FIG. 11B) of the game board 180. On the other hand, in the end face 180b of the game board 180, a recess 181 is formed in the thickness direction at the location where the extension part 702 is disposed up to the back face 180c. As shown in FIG. 11C, the depth (the distance from the end face 180b to the bottom 181a of the depression 181) of the depression 181 from the end face 180b of the game board 180 is set to substantially the same dimension as the thickness of the extension part 702. Be done. As a result, the extension portion 702 faces the end face 180 b (the bottom 181 a of the depression 181) of the gaming board 180 and abuts on the end face 180 b (the bottom 181 a of the depression 181).

  The protruding heights of the rail members 700 from the board surface 180a of the game board 180 (left and right direction in FIG. 11B) are set to the same height in the first rail portion 710, the second rail portion 720 and the third rail portion 730. It is done. Thereby, after the game board 180 is attached to the inner frame 13, when the front door frame 14 (see FIG. 2) is closed, the glass 22 is disposed at the front end of the rail member 700, and the glass 22 and the game board It can be made substantially parallel to the 180 board 180a.

  According to the rail member 700, the third rail portion 730 is enlarged in the thickness direction of the gaming board 180 by the extending portion 702 by providing the third rail portion 730 with the extension portion 702 facing the end face 180b of the game board 180. did. The mechanical strength of the third rail portion 730 is improved by providing the extension portion 702 to enlarge the members, and the rail (third rail portion 730) attached near the outer edge of the board surface 180a of the game board 180. The strength was secured.

  Further, the third rail portion 730 is integrally formed with the first rail portion 710 and the second rail portion 720, and the extension portion 702 is made to abut on the end surface 180b of the game board 180 (the bottom 181a of the recess 181). . Thus, when an external force that causes the third rail portion 730 to tilt to the outside of the game board 180 acts, the extension section 702 abuts on the end face 180 b of the game board 180 (the bottom 181 a of the recess 181). A force against the external force for tilting the rail portion 730 can be generated in the third rail portion 730. As a result, the strength of the rail (third rail portion 730) in the twisting direction can be improved.

  The rail member 700 has ribs 703 projecting in the height direction of the rail member 700 (left and right direction in FIG. 11B) from the front end to the rear end at predetermined intervals in the longitudinal direction of the outer side surface 701. As a result, the rigidity of the rail member 700, in particular, the thin third rail portion 730 in the front-rear direction (the left-right direction in FIG. 11B) can be improved. As a result, the thickness (the left and right direction in FIG. 11A) of the third rail portion 730 can be reduced, and therefore, the game area PE of the game board 180 can be expanded by the reduced amount. In addition, the rib 703 is not protrudingly provided by the extension part 702, but the point by which it is protrudingly provided by the 3rd rail part 731 is mentioned later.

  Next, with reference to FIG. 12, the case where the game board 180 to which the rail member 700 is fixed is attached to the inner frame 113 will be described. 12 (a) is a partial front view of the game board 180, FIG. 12 (b) is a cross-sectional view of the game board 180 along line XIIb-XIIb of FIG. 12 (a), and FIG. It is a sectional view of game board 180 in the XIIc-XIIc line of (a), and Drawing 12 (d) is a fragmentary sectional view of the 3rd rail part 730 which expanded and showed a portion shown by XIId of Drawing 12 (c). is there. The inner frame 113 is the same except that the side wall 75 of the inner frame 13 described in the first embodiment is replaced with the side wall 114. Therefore, the illustration of the inner frame 113 other than the side wall 114 is omitted in FIG. Do.

  As shown in FIG. 12 (b), the side wall 114 of the inner frame 113 is a front inner wall surface located on the outside of the first rail portion 710, the second rail portion 720 and the third rail portion 730 mounted on the game board 180. 114a, a rear inner wall 114b located on the rear side of the front inner wall 114a and in contact with the end face 180b and the extending portion 702 of the game board 180, and a step-like shape projecting inwardly from the rear inner wall 114b And a stepped portion 114c. The side walls 114 are formed on the left and right sides of the inner frame 113, and the distance between the left and right rear inner wall surfaces 114b is set to be substantially the same as the distance between the left and right end faces 180b of the game board 180. Further, the height of the rear inner wall surface 114 b from the stepped portion 114 c is set to be substantially the same as the thickness of the game board 180. Thereby, when the game board 180 to which the rail member 700 is fixed is attached to the inner frame 113, the rear inner wall surface 114b abuts on the extending portion 702 as shown in FIG. 12C. Since the extension portion 702 is sandwiched between the end face 180 b (the bottom 181 a of the recess 181) and the rear inner wall surface 114 b of the game board 180, the third rail portion 730 is deformed when an external force is applied to the third rail portion 730. Then, it is prevented from spreading outside the game board 180.

  The rib 703 is provided on the outer side surface 701 of the rail member 700 (the first rail portion 710, the second rail portion 720, and the third rail portion 730) to protrude as shown in FIGS. 12 (b) and 12 (c). Thus, the ribs 703 provided on the third rail portion 730 have a protruding height gradually decreasing from the front to the rear of the game board (the lower side in FIG. 12B), that is, against the outer surface 701 Is set to be inclined downward. Then, as shown in FIG. 12 (d), the height of the rear inner wall surface 114b is set so that the downwardly inclined rib 703 abuts on the rear inner wall surface 114b (including the ridge line) when mounted on the inner frame 113. And the distance between the left and right rear inner wall surfaces 114b.

  Here, if the rib 703 inclined downward is not set to abut the rear inner wall surface 114b (including the ridge line) (if the rib 703 is short), the game board 180 is extended when mounted on the inner frame 113 It is necessary to accurately set the distance between the left and right rear inner wall surfaces 114b and the height of the rear inner wall surface 114b so that the protrusion 702 abuts on the rear inner wall surface 114b. In this case, high processing accuracy and assembly accuracy are required. On the other hand, if the rib 703 inclined downward as described above is set to abut the rear inner wall surface 114b, the processing accuracy with respect to the distance between the left and right rear inner wall surfaces 114b and the height of the rear inner wall surface 114b. Also, since the assembly accuracy can be relaxed and the gap between the rib 703 and the rear inner wall surface 114b can be eliminated, rattling of the game board 180 mounted on the inner frame 113 can be prevented.

  Next, an eighth embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. In the seventh embodiment, the case where the extension portion 702 of the rail member 700 is pressed by the inner frame 113 has been described. On the other hand, in the eighth embodiment, the case where the extension portion 702 of the rail member 700 is held by the game board 280 will be described. The same parts as those in the seventh embodiment are given the same reference numerals, and the description thereof will be omitted. FIG. 13 (a) is a partial front view of the game board 280 in the eighth embodiment, and FIG. 13 (b) is a cross-sectional view of the game board 280 taken along line XIIIb-XIIIb in FIG. 13 (a). (C) is a cross-sectional view of the game board 280 taken along the line XIIIc-XIIIc of FIG. 13 (a), and FIG. 13 (d) is an enlarged view of a part of FIG. 13 (c) FIG.

  As shown in FIG. 13A, the rail member 700 is disposed along the edge on the upper end side of the board surface 280a of the game board 280. In the game board 280, a fixed portion 281 is integrally formed on the end face 280b. The fixed part 281 is a part for preventing the extension part 702 of the rail member 700 from expanding to the outside of the game board 280, and as shown in FIGS. 13 (b) and 13 (c), A recessed portion 281 a is provided on the front surface of the fixed portion 281 along the end surface 280 b. The recess 281 a is a portion into which the extension portion 702 is inserted. The extension portion 702 is inserted into the recess 281 a, and the extension portion 702 is held by the fixing portion 281. This prevents the extension part 702 from being deformed and spreading outward.

  As shown in FIG. 13C, when the game board 280 to which the rail member 700 is fixed is attached to the inner frame 213, the first wall surface 214a of the side wall 214 of the inner frame 213 is attached to the first game board 180. It is located on the outside of the rail portion 710, the second rail portion 720 and the third rail portion 730 and abuts on the end surface of the fixing portion 281. As a result, the fixing portion 281 is held by the side wall 214 of the inner frame 213, and the extension portion 702 is held by the fixing portion 281. Since the fixed portion 281 is held by the inner frame 213, the fixed portion 281 integrally formed with the game board 280 can be made hard to break.

  As shown in FIG. 13 (d), the recess 281a has a depth and a depth such that the end of the downwardly inclined rib 703 abuts the fixing portion 281 when the rail member 700 is mounted on the game board 280. It is done. Since the rib 703 is set to abut on the fixing portion 281, it is possible to alleviate the processing accuracy with respect to the depth and depth of the recess 281a, and to prevent generation of a gap between the rib 703 and the fixing portion 281. . Thereby, rattling of the rail member 700 mounted on the game board 280 can be prevented.

  A ninth embodiment will now be described with reference to FIG. In the seventh and eighth embodiments, the third rail portion 730 is integrally formed with the first rail portion 710 and the second rail portion 720, and the front of the board 180a, 280a of the game board 180, 280 is formed. The case of being disposed (inside) has been described. On the other hand, in the ninth embodiment, the case where the third rail portion 830 of the integrally formed rail member 800 is disposed along the end face 80b of the game board 80 outside the board surface 80a will be described. FIG. 14 (a) is a partial front view of the game board 80 in the ninth embodiment, and FIG. 14 (b) is a side view of the game board 80 viewed from the direction of arrow XIVb in FIG. 14 (a). 14 (c) is a cross-sectional view of the game board 80 taken along line XIVc-XIVc of FIG. 14 (a). Hereinafter, the same parts as those of the first embodiment are denoted by the same reference numerals, and the description thereof will be omitted, and different parts will be described.

  As shown in FIG. 14 (a), the rail member 800 includes a first rail portion 810 disposed along the edge on the upper end side of the board surface 80a of the game board 80, a predetermined first rail portion 810, and the like. The second rail portion 820 disposed along the edge of the lower end side of the board surface 80a of the game board 80 at an interval and the first rail portion 810 and the second rail portion 820 are connected in series to the game board 80. And a third rail portion 830 disposed along the end face of the board surface 80a. The first rail portion 810, the second rail portion 820 and the third rail portion 830 are integrally formed of a synthetic resin such as polycarbonate.

  The first rail portion 810 is a portion where an inner side surface 811 formed in an arc shape in a front view is formed, and an insertion hole 810 a is formed from the front to the back and is fixed to the board surface 80 a of the game board 80 is there. The inner side surface 811 of the first rail portion 810 is formed in an arc shape gradually approaching the outer edge (end surface 80b) of the game board 80 as viewed from the front as it goes from the upper side to the lower side (the lower side in FIG. 14A). It is done. The inner side surface 811 of the first rail portion 810 is continuous with the inner side surface 831 of the third rail portion 830. Thus, the gaming ball moving (rolling or sliding) along the inner side surface 811 of the first rail portion 810 can be guided to the inner side surface 831 of the third rail portion 830.

  The second rail portion 820 is a portion spaced apart below the gaming board 80 by a predetermined distance from the first rail portion 810 and disposed along the edge of the gaming board 80, and the third rail portion upwards 830 are connected in series. The second rail portion 820 includes an inner side surface 821 formed in an arc shape in a front view, and is fixed to the board surface 80 a of the game board 80.

  The third rail portion 830 is a portion for forming a passage of the gaming ball together with the first rail portion 810 and the second rail portion 820, and the inner side surface 831 is an inside of the first rail portion 810 and the second rail portion 820. It is continuously connected to the side surfaces 811 and 821 and is located on the same plane as the outer edge (end surface 80 b) of the game board 80. As a result, the movable range of the game ball can be extended to the end of the board 80 b of the game board 80.

  As shown in FIG. 14B, the third rail portion 830 has an extension portion 802 facing the end face 80b toward the back side (right side in FIG. 14B) of the game board 80. Since the extension part 802 protrudes to the outside of the board surface 80a of the game board 80, it is possible to extend even if the recess 181 (see FIG. 11) for receiving the extension part 802 is not formed in the end face 80b of the game board 80. The portion 802 can be in contact with the end face 80 b of the game board 80.

  According to the rail member 800, the third rail portion 830 is made larger in the thickness direction of the game board 80 by the extension portion 802 by providing the third rail portion 830 with the extension portion 802 facing the end face 80b of the game board 80. did. The mechanical strength of the third rail portion 830 is improved by providing the extension portion 802 and the members are enlarged, and the rail (third rail portion 830) attached in the vicinity of the outer edge of the board surface 80a of the game board 80. The strength can be secured.

  Further, the third rail portion 830 is integrally formed with the first rail portion 810 and the second rail portion 820, and the extension portion 802 is in contact with the end surface 80b of the game board 80. As a result, when an external force acts to tilt the third rail portion 830 to the outside of the game board 80, the extension portion 802 abuts on the end face 80b of the game board 80, thereby tilting the third rail portion 830. Force can be generated in the third rail portion 830. As a result, the strength of the rail (third rail portion 830) in the twisting direction can be improved.

  In the third rail portion 830, ribs 803 are provided so as to protrude along the longitudinal direction (vertical direction in FIG. 14B) at predetermined intervals in the longitudinal direction of the outer side surface 801. Thereby, the rigidity in the vertical direction (the vertical direction in FIG. 14B) of the third rail portion 830 can be improved. As a result, it is possible to prevent the third rail portion 830 from being deformed when the game ball moves along the third rail portion 830, and the trajectory of the game ball can be stabilized.

  As shown in FIG. 14C, when the game board 80 is attached to the inner frame 313, the extension portion 802 is held by the side wall 314 of the inner frame 313. This prevents the extension portion 802 from rising from the end face 80 b of the game board 80, and can prevent the occurrence of a gap between the game board 80 and the third rail portion 830. As a result, it is possible to prevent the trajectory of the gaming ball moving along the third rail portion 830 from changing.

  A tenth embodiment will now be described with reference to FIG. In the ninth embodiment, the case where the rail member 800 mounted on the game board 80 is held by the inner frame 313 has been described. On the other hand, in the tenth embodiment, the case where the rail member 800 is held by the protective cover 130 will be described. Fig.15 (a) is the fragmentary perspective view which looked at the game board 80 in 10th Embodiment from the back side, FIG.15 (b) is sectional drawing of the game board 80 in the XVb-XVb line of FIG. 15 (a) It is. Hereinafter, the same parts as those of the ninth embodiment are indicated by the same reference numerals, and the description thereof will be omitted, and only different parts will be described.

  As shown in FIG. 15A, the protective cover 130 is a synthetic resin member for protecting various control boards (not shown) disposed on the back of the game board 80, and the back of the game board 80. The outer peripheral portion 130 a is fixed to the back surface of the game board 80 so as to cover the control board disposed in the rear of the game board 80. An edge portion 131 on the right side (front side in the drawing of FIG. 15A) of the outer peripheral portion 130a of the protective cover 130 is bent along the end face 80b of the game board 80 and extends forward.

  As shown in FIG. 15 (b), a predetermined gap G is formed between the end face 80b of the game board 80 and the edge 131, and the size of the gap G is substantially the same as the thickness of the extending portion 802. It is done. Thus, the extended portion 802 of the rail member 800 can be held down by the edge portion 131 of the protective cover 130. By appropriately setting the size of the gap G, it is possible to press the extension part 802 by utilizing elastic deformation of the edge part 181 made of a synthetic resin.

  In the present embodiment, although the case where the extending portion 802 of the rail member 800 is held down by the protective cover 130 fixed to the back of the game board 80 has been described, the present invention is not necessarily limited to the protective cover 130. It is of course possible to hold the extension 802 by various back plate members disposed on the back of the board 80. As the back panel member, for example, a reinforcing material fixed to the back surface of the game board 80 and reinforcing the game board 80 may be mentioned.

  An eleventh embodiment will now be described with reference to FIG. In the first to tenth embodiments, the case where the third rail portions 230 to 830 are provided as part of the rail members 200 to 800 has been described. On the other hand, in the eleventh embodiment, a rail member 900 in which the inner frame 413 doubles as the third rail portion and the extension portion will be described. FIG. 16 (a) is a partial front view of the game board 80 in the eleventh embodiment, and FIG. 16 (b) is a cross-sectional view of the game board 80 taken along line XVIb-XVIb in FIG. 16 (a). Hereinafter, the same parts as those of the first embodiment are denoted by the same reference numerals, and the description thereof will be omitted, and different parts will be described.

  As shown in FIG. 16A, the rail member 900 is provided with a first rail portion 210 and a second rail portion 220 which are fixed to the board surface 80a of the game board 80. The first rail portion 210 and the second rail portion 220 are fixed to the edge of the game board 80 at predetermined intervals.

  In the inner frame 413, the distance between the inner wall surfaces 414a of the left and right side walls 414 is substantially the same as the distance between the left and right end faces 80a of the game board 80 (the width of the board surface 80a of the game board 80). Thus, by mounting the game board 80 to which the first rail portion 210 and the second rail portion 220 are fixed to the inner frame 413, as shown in FIG. 16 (b), a part of the side wall 414 of the inner frame 413. The (rear side) can be made to face the end face 80 b of the game board 80, and the front side can be projected forward from the board surface 80 a of the game board 80. As a result, the rear side of the side wall 414 can function as an extending portion, and the front side of the side wall 414 can function as a third rail portion.

  By substituting the side wall 414 of the inner frame 413 in place of the third rail portion, the movable area of the gaming ball can be expanded to the end of the board surface 80 a of the gaming board 80. Moreover, since it is not necessary to prepare a 3rd rail part separately, the number of parts of the rail member 900 can be reduced. Furthermore, since the side wall 414 doubles as an extension, when an external force is applied to the side wall 414 and the side wall 414 tries to tilt to the side of the board surface 80a of the game board 80, the side wall 414 (extends on the end face 80b of the game board 80 Section abuts, and tilting of the side wall 414 is suppressed. Thereby, rattling of the side wall 414 can be prevented.

  A twelfth embodiment will now be described with reference to FIG. In the eleventh embodiment, the case where the gaming ball is configured to move on the board surface 80a of the gaming board 80 has been described. On the other hand, in the twelfth embodiment, the case where the gaming ball is configured to move inside the gaming board 380 will be described. FIG. 17 (a) is a partial front view of the game board 380 in the twelfth embodiment, and FIG. 17 (b) is a cross-sectional view of the game board 380 taken along line XVIIb-XVIIb in FIG. 17 (a). Hereinafter, the same parts as those of the eleventh embodiment are indicated by the same reference numerals, and the description thereof will be omitted, and only different parts will be described.

  As shown in FIGS. 17 (a) and 17 (b), the game board 380 has a notch 381 in which a part of the ridge line between the board surface 380a and the end face 380b is cut out from the board surface 380a to the end face 380b. . The first rail portion 210 and the second rail portion 220 are respectively fixed to the upper and lower edges of the play board 380 of the cutout portion 381. The notch portion 381 is a portion functioning as a passage through which the game ball passes.

  The board surface 380a of the game board 380 and the board surface 380a side of the notched portion 381 are covered with a covering member 382 formed of a transparent material made of glass or synthetic resin in a thin plate shape. The communicating holes 382a and 382b are formed in two places. The hole 382a on the upstream side is a portion for guiding the game ball moving the covering member 382 to the notch 381, and the hole 382b on the downstream side is a portion of the covering member 382 for moving the game ball moving the notch 381 again. It is a site for leading to the surface. Since the covering member 382 is formed of a transparent material, the gaming balls passing through the notch 381 can be viewed from the board surface 380a side.

  By mounting the game board 380 on the inner frame 413, the side wall 414 of the inner frame 413 is disposed on the end surface 380 b side of the notch 381. As a result, the gaming ball guided from the hole 382 a to the notch 381 is restricted by the inner wall surface 414 a of the side wall 414 and flows down the inside of the notch 381 and emerges from the hole 382 b on the surface of the covering member 382. As a result, since a new movement moving in the gaming board 380 can be added to the gaming ball, the player can be entertained. In addition, since the passage of the game ball is formed in the game board 380 by covering the end face 380b side of the notch 381 using a part (extension part) of the side wall 414 of the inner frame 413, the passage can be easily formed. it can. Furthermore, since the front side of the side wall 414 functions as the third rail portion, the number of parts of the rail member 700 can be reduced.

  In addition, it is difficult to embed an insertion member (such as a screw or a fixing pin) in the end surface 380b of the game board 380 in which the cutout portion 381 is formed to fix the extension portion. However, since the side wall 414 of the inner frame 413 is used as the extending portion, the extending portion (side wall 414) can be arranged and fixed to the end surface 380b of the game board 880 without using the insertion member. Thereby, the extending portion and the third rail portion to the end face 380 b of the game board 380 can be easily arranged.

The flow paths of the game balls are differentiated by various structures such as nails and windmills, and the above-mentioned winning on the general winning opening etc. is adjusted so as to occur with appropriate establishment.

  Here, below the gaming board accommodating portion 71 in the resin base 70, a game ball firing mechanism 110 for firing the game ball to the game area PE based on the operation of the game ball firing handle 40 (see FIG. 1) is provided There is. More specifically, below the game board accommodating portion 71 in the resin base 70, a firing mechanism setting portion 72 for installing the game ball launching mechanism 110 is formed. The game ball emission handle 40 is provided on the front door frame 14 (see FIG. 2).

  The game ball launch mechanism 110 installed in the launch mechanism installation section 72 is located closer to the pivoting tip of the inner frame 13. The game ball firing mechanism 110 supplies a solenoid to launch a game ball placed at a predetermined launch standby position, a launch rail defining the launch direction of the game sphere launched by the solenoid, and the game ball to the launch standby position. The ball feed mechanism and the base plate on which the various components are mounted are provided as main components, and the base plate is integrated with the inner frame 13 by being screwed to the resin base 70. There is.

  The game ball launch mechanism 110 (specifically, a solenoid) is electrically connected to a power source and a launch control device (not shown). The output shaft of the solenoid moves in the telescopic direction, ie, the rail direction of the firing rail based on the power supply and the output of the electrical signal from the firing control device, and the gaming ball placed in the firing standby position is the gaming area PE, Is launched toward the induction rail 100 attached to the game board 80.

  The guide rail 100 divides the play area PE together with the rail member 200 so that the outer shape of the play area PE is substantially circular. Further, the induction rail 100 is composed of an inner rail 101 and an outer rail 102 arranged to face each other with a gap slightly larger than the diameter of the gaming ball, and the guiding passage of the gaming ball by the region sandwiched by both rails. 103 (guide passage) is formed. The guiding passage 103 has an inlet portion 104 opened to the tip side of the firing rail (the pivoting tip side of the inner frame 13) and an outlet portion 105 located at the top of the game area PE. The game ball fired based on the operation of the solenoid is guided to the game area PE by moving in the order of the firing rail → the induction rail 100 (the inlet portion 104 → the outlet portion 105).

  In addition, on the tip side of the exit portion 105 in the game board 80, specifically, near the tip of the inner rail 101, a reverse return preventing member 106 is attached which prevents the game ball reaching the game area PE from coming back into the guiding passage 103. It is suppressed that the game ball which has reached the game area PE ahead of time prevents the launch of the following game ball from being blocked.

  Each of the rails 101 and 102 constituting the guide rail 100 is in the shape of a circular arc centered on the approximate center of the game area PE. For this reason, the gaming ball passing through the guiding passage 103 is easily moved (sliding or rolling) along the outer rail 102, that is, in contact with the outer rail 102, by the centrifugal force generated in itself.

  The induction rail 100 is operated when the game ball emission handle 40 is operated to the extent that the game ball can reach the game area PE, that is, when the operation amount of the game ball emission handle 40 exceeds the first prescribed amount. In addition, the game ball launched from the firing rail is formed to land on the entrance portion 104 of the guide rail 100, specifically, on the outer rail 102 at a specific site located on the extension of the firing rail.

  The outer rail 102 is formed such that the direction of the tangent at the specific portion thereof is substantially the same as the rail direction of the launch rail. By aligning the movement direction of the launched game ball and the tangent direction of the specific part, the impact caused by the landing of the game ball is reduced and the bounce of the game ball is suppressed, and the game rails are smoothly guided by the guide rail 100 Is possible.

  The outer rail 102 is provided with a plurality of fixing pins as fixing means for fixing the outer rail 102 to the game board 80. The fixing pins are disposed along the outer rail 102, and the specific site is set between the fixing pins. Thereby, it is possible to allow slight bending deformation (elastic deformation) of the outer rail 102 at a specific site, and to reduce the impact when the game ball lands on the specific site.

  The rail member 200 is a member for partitioning an area where the game ball can move (the induction passage 103 and the game area PE) together with the outer rail 102, and is disposed near the outer edge of the game board 80 in a front view . Specifically, they are disposed along the edge of the game board 80 extending vertically to the right as viewed from the front of the game board 80. The rail member 200 includes a first rail portion 210 and a second rail portion 220, and a third rail portion 230 disposed between the first rail portion 210 and the second rail portion 220. The first rail portion 210, the second rail 220 portion, and the third rail portion 230 are formed of a synthetic resin such as polycarbonate, which has high dimensional stability and is excellent in mechanical physical properties.

  A turning rubber 240 is attached to the upper end portion of the rail member 200 (first rail portion 210). Therefore, the game ball fired with a predetermined force or more from the game ball firing mechanism 110 strikes the return rubber 240 and the force is attenuated and rebounded.

  The guide rail 100 and the launch rail are arranged such that the inlet portion 104 of the guide rail 100 and the tip end portion of the launch rail face each other diagonally across the lower edge of the game board 80. That is, both rails 100 are disposed such that the entrance portion 104 (specifically, a specific portion) of the same induction rail 100 and the leading end portion of the firing rail are displaced laterally in the vicinity of the lower edge of the game board 80. As a result, while both rails 100 are brought close to the lower edge of the game board 80, a gap of a predetermined distance is formed between the entrance portion 104 of the guide rail 100 and the firing rail.

  A ball ball passage 55 (see FIG. 2) is disposed below the gap formed in this manner. The foul ball passage 55 is integrally formed with the passage forming unit 50 of the front door frame 14. If the game ball fired from the game ball firing mechanism 110 does not reach the game area PE but moves backward in the guiding passage 103 as a far ball, those far balls enter the far ball passage 55 through the above-mentioned gap. It becomes. The foul ball passage 55 leads to the lower door passage 52 on the front door side, and the gaming ball entering the far ball passage 55 is discharged to the lower plate 34 shown in FIG. Thus, the interference between the foul ball and the game ball to be fired next is suppressed.

  A passage forming portion 73 is provided on the left side of the firing rail in the resin base 70 by penetrating the resin base 70 in the front-rear direction. The passage forming portion 73 has a main body side upper tray passage and a main body side lower tray passage, and the upstream sides of the main body side upper tray passage and the main body side lower tray passage communicate with the gaming ball distribution portion.

The back surface (bottom surface of the triangular pole) of the first rail portion 210 is in contact with the board surface 80 a of the game board 80. Fastening members such as screws and bolts and fixing pins (hereinafter referred to as "insertion members") are inserted into insertion holes 210a formed from the front to the back at a plurality of locations of the first rail portion 210, and these insertion members Is fixed to the board surface 80a, the first rail portion 210 is fixed to the board surface 80a of the game board 80. The insertion member is inserted into the insertion holes 210a formed at a plurality of locations of the first rail portion 210 to fix the first rail portion 210 to the board surface 80a, so the first rail portion 210 is centered on the board surface 80a centering on the insertion member Swinging and rattling are prevented. Further, since the first rail portion 210 can be easily removed from the game board 80 when the pachinko machine 10 is discarded, the first rail portion 210 can be easily sorted and collected for recycling.

  The outer side surface 212 of the first rail portion 210 is formed in a planar shape, and when the first rail portion 220 is fixed to the game board 80, the outer side surface 212 is identical to the end face 80 b connected to the board surface 80 a of the game board 80 It is configured to be located in the plane. As a result, when the first rail portion 210 is fixed to the gaming board 80, if the outer surface 212 of the first rail portion 210 is flush with the end face 80b of the gaming board 80, Positioning of the 1 rail portion 210 in the left-right direction can be performed. Thereby, the work of fixing the first rail portion 210 to the game board 80 can be efficiently performed, and the fixing operability of the first rail portion 210 can be improved.

  A return rubber 240 for absorbing the energy of the game ball is attached to the upper end portion 211 a of the inner side surface 211 of the first rail portion 210. The inner side surface 211 is formed in a smooth circular arc shape gradually approaching the outer edge (end surface 80b) of the game board 80 as viewed from the front as it goes from the upper end portion 211a to the lower end portion 211b. The lower end portion 211b of the inner side surface 211 is smoothly connected to the end face 80b of the game board 80 in a front view. As a result, gaming balls moving (rolling or sliding) along the inner side surface 211 of the first rail portion 210 can be smoothly guided to the inner side surface 231 of the third rail portion 230.

  The second rail portion 220 is a portion which is disposed below the gaming board 80 by a predetermined distance from the lower end portion 211 b of the inner side surface 211 of the first rail portion 210 and disposed along the edge of the gaming board 80 There is provided an inner side surface 221 which is formed in a triangular prism shape and formed in an arc shape in a front view. The bottom surface of the second rail portion 220 is in contact with the board surface 80 a of the game board 80. The second rail portion 220 is fixed to the board surface 80 a of the game board 80 by inserting the insertion member into the insertion hole 220 a formed in the second rail portion 220 and fixing the fastening member and the like to the board surface 80 a. As a result, since the second rail portion 220 can be easily removed from the game board 80 when the pachinko machine 10 is discarded, the second rail portion 220 can be easily sorted and collected for recycling.

  The outer side surface 222 of the second rail portion 220 is formed flat, and when the second rail portion 220 is fixed to the game board 80, the outer side surface 222 is identical to the end face 80 b connected to the board surface 80 a of the game board 80 It is configured to be located in the plane. As a result, when fixing the second rail portion 220 to the game board 80, if the outer surface 222 of the second rail portion 220 is flush with the end face 80b of the game board 80, Positioning of the two rail portions 220 in the left-right direction can be performed. Thus, the work of fixing the second rail portion 220 to the game board 80 can be efficiently performed, and the fixing operability of the second rail portion 220 can be improved.

  The inner side surface 221 of the second rail portion 220 is formed in an arc shape gradually separated from the end surface 80 b (outer edge) of the game board 80 as viewed from the front as it goes downward from the upper end portion 221 a. The upper end 221a of the inner side surface 221 is smoothly connected to the end face 80b of the game board 80 when viewed from the front. As a result, gaming balls moving (rolling or sliding) along the inner side surface 231 of the third rail portion 230 can be smoothly guided to the inner side surface 221 of the second rail portion 220.

  The third rail portion 230 is a portion connected to the first rail portion 210 and the second rail portion 220 to form a passage for gaming balls, and is formed of a plate-like member having a planar inner side surface 231. It is done. In the third rail portion 230, the inner side surface 231 is disposed in the same plane as the end face 80b of the gaming board 80 in a front view. That is, since the third rail portion 230 is disposed on the same line as the outer edge (end surface 80b) of the board surface 80a of the game board 80 in a front view, regardless of the thickness of the third rail portion 230, The game area PE can be expanded to the end of the board 80a.

  As shown in FIG. 5 (b), the third rail portion 230 is extended toward the back side of the game board 80. As shown in FIG. 5C, the extension portion 232 faces the end surface 80b of the gaming board 80 and is in contact with the end surface 80b. The extension portion 232 is formed with an insertion hole 232a (see FIG. 5B), and the insertion member P is inserted into the insertion hole 232a and fixed to the end surface. Thus, the third rail portion 230 can be easily fixed to the end face 80 b of the game board 80. Since the insertion member P for fixing the third rail portion 230 is fixed to the end face 80b of the game board 80 and the board surface 80a is not used, the insertion member P is prevented from obstructing the movement of the game ball, The design of the board 80a can be improved. Further, at the time of discarding the pachinko machine 10, the third rail portion 230 can be easily removed from the game board 80 simply by removing the insertion member P, so the third rail portion 230 can be easily separated and collected for recycling.

  In addition, the first rail portion 210, the second rail portion 220, and the third rail portion 230 are set to the same height for the height of projection from the board surface 80a of the game board 80 (the left and right direction in FIG. 5B). There is. Thus, when the front door frame 14 (see FIG. 2) is closed after the game board 80 is attached to the inner frame 13, the front ends of the first rail portion 210, the second rail portion 220 and the third rail portion 230 The glass 22 is disposed on the substrate 22 so that the glass 22 and the board surface 80a of the game board 80 can be substantially parallel.

  Here, in the conventional pachinko machine, as described above, the rail is fixed to the board surface of the game board using the flange projecting outward from the outer peripheral portion of the strip-like rail. When attaching a rail near the outer edge of the board of the game board, the flange was cut off because there was no space for arranging the flange. The flange was a means for attaching the rail and a means for increasing the mechanical strength (rigidity) of the rail. Therefore, there is a problem that not only can the part of the rail from which the flange is cut down can not be fixed to the game board, but the mechanical strength is lowered.

  On the other hand, in the pachinko machine 10 of the present embodiment, the third rail portion 230 is formed by the extension portion 232 by providing the third rail portion 230 with the extension portion 232 facing the end face 80 b of the game board 80. In the thickness direction. By providing the extension part 232 and enlarging the member, the mechanical strength of the third rail part 230 or the mechanical strength of the member itself by the extension part 232 being in contact with the end face 80b of the game board 80 is improved. The strength of the rail (third rail portion 230) attached near the outer edge of the board surface 80a of the game board 80 is secured. Furthermore, by fixing the extension part 232 to the end face 80b of the game board 80, the game area PE is expanded.

  The third rail portion 230 has a length from the upper end 230a to the lower end 230b (vertical direction in FIG. 5A) is a distance from the lower end portion 211b of the first rail portion 210 to the upper end portion 221a of the second rail portion 220 Length) is set to be larger. Thus, in a state where the first rail portion 210, the second rail portion 220 and the third rail portion 230 are fixed to the game board 80, the upper end 230a side and the lower end 230b of the third rail portion 230 The overlapping portions 233 and 234 are formed by overlapping the side surfaces and the outer side surfaces 212 and 222 of the first rail portion 210 and the second rail portion 220 in the left-right direction.

  Here, since the planar outer side surfaces 211 and 212 of the first rail portion 210 and the second rail portion 220 are configured to be positioned in the same plane as the end surface 80 b of the game board 80, the extension portion 232 is When the end face 80 b of the game board 80 is abutted, the third rail portion 230 abuts on the outer surfaces 212 and 222 of the first rail portion 210 and the second rail portion 220 in the overlapping portions 233 and 234.

  The overlapping portions 233 and 234 are formed on the outer side of the lower end portion 211 b of the first rail portion 210 and the upper end portion 221 a of the second rail portion 220, whereby the lower end portion 211 b of the first rail portion 210 and the second rail portion 220 The upper end portion 221 a can be reinforced by the overlapping portions 233 and 234. The lower end portion 211b of the first rail portion 210 and the upper end portion 221a of the second rail portion 220 are both formed thin because the inner side surfaces 211 and 221 smoothly connect with the inner side surface 231 of the third rail portion 230. Although the game ball is easily damaged due to a collision or the like, the reinforcement by the overlapping portions 233 and 234 can prevent the damage.

  Further, overlapping portions 233 and 234 are provided at the joint between the first rail portion 210 and the second rail portion 220 and the third rail portion 230, and the first rail portion 210, the second rail portion 220 and the third rail portion 230 The contact makes it difficult to insert a wire or the like between the first rail portion 210 and the second rail portion 220 and the third rail portion 230, and can prevent fraud. Further, even if the plate-like third rail portion 230 is inclined (rocked) to the inside (left side in FIG. 5A), the third rail is formed on the outer side surfaces 212 and 222 of the first rail portion 210 and the second rail portion 220. Since the portion 230 is hit and blocked, it is possible to suppress the inward swing of the third rail portion 230.

  As shown in FIG. 5 (c), the game board 80 mounted on the inner frame 13 is laterally and front-to-back by the spacer 77 disposed on the side wall 75 of the inner frame 13 (FIG. 5 (c) vertical direction). Movement is regulated. In addition, since the spacer 77 is provided, even if the third rail portion 230 is disposed on the end face 80b of the game board 80 and the game area PE is enlarged, the game board 80 is attached to the inner frame 13 as in the conventional pachinko machine. It is possible. The rail member 200 is not limited to synthetic resin, and can be formed of other materials such as metal.

  Next, a second embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 6 (a) is a partial front view of the game board 80 according to the second embodiment, and FIG. 6 (b) is a side view of the game board 80 as viewed in the direction of arrow VIb of FIG. 6 (c) is a cross-sectional view of the game board 80 taken along the line VIc-VIc of FIG. 6 (a). Hereinafter, the same parts as those of the first embodiment are denoted by the same reference numerals, and the description thereof will be omitted, and different parts will be described. Moreover, illustration of penetration hole 210a, 220a is abbreviate | omitted for the simplification of drawing.

  As shown to Fig.6 (a), the rail member 300 in 2nd Embodiment is the 1st rail part 310, the 2nd rail part 320, and the 3rd rail part with respect to the rail member 200 in 1st Embodiment. An engagement portion 335 is provided for engaging with 330. The engaging portion 335 is provided at the position of the two overlapping portions 233 and 234 at the upper end side and the lower end side of the third rail portion 330, and the front end of the third rail portion 330 (the front side of the sheet of FIG. 6A) From the inside to the inside (the left side in FIG. 6 (a)) so as to protrude like a bowl.

  As shown in FIG. 6C, the engaging portion 335 is a convex portion protruding from the front end (upper side in FIG. 6C) of the third rail portion 330 toward the inside (left side in FIG. 6C). A bent portion 335b is provided along the inner side surface 331 of the third rail portion 330 and is spaced apart from the inner side surface 331 by a predetermined distance. Engaged portions 315 and 325 engageable with the engaging portion 335 are formed in the first rail portion 310 and the second rail portion 320 with respect to the engaging portion 335.

  The engaged portions 315, 325 have substantially the same width as the convex portion 335a at the front ends of the first rail portion 310 and the second rail portion 320 (the front side in FIG. 6A) (vertical direction in FIG. 6A). And it is recessedly provided by the depth (FIG. 6 (c) up-down direction) substantially the same as the thickness of the convex part 335a. By engaging the engaged portions 315 and 325 with the engaging portion 335, the front end of the third rail portion 330 is prevented from swinging to the outside of the end face 80b of the game board 80. As a result, it is possible to suppress vibration of the third rail portion 330 due to a collision or the like of the gaming ball to the third rail portion 330. In addition, since the first rail portion 310, the second rail portion 320, the third rail portion 330, and the engaging portion 335 are set to have the same height, the glass 22 disposed on the front door frame 14 Thus, it is possible to prevent a gap from being generated between the first rail portion 310, the second rail portion 320, the third rail portion 330, and the engaging portion 335.

  Further, in a state in which the engaging portion 335 of the third rail portion 330 is engaged with the engaged portions 315 and 325 of the first rail portion 310 and the second rail portion 320 (in a suspended state), the third rail portion 330 Is restricted from moving backward (in FIG. 6 (a) on the side of the paper surface). Therefore, the engagement portion 335 of the third rail portion 330 is engaged with the engaged portions 315, 325 of the first rail portion 310 and the second rail portion 320 to temporarily fix the third rail portion 330, and then inserted. The extension portion 232 can be fixed to the end face 80 b of the game board 80 by the member P. Since the engaging portion 335 can position the extension portion 232 when it is fixed to the end face 80b of the game board 80, the assembling operability of the third rail portion 330 can be improved.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 6A, in a state in which the engaging portion 335 and the engaged portions 315 and 325 are engaged, the first on the upstream side of the engaging portion 335 where the gaming ball flows down (moves) The inner side surface 311 of the rail portion 310 is formed to be flush with the inner side surface of the bent portion 335 b. Similarly, the inner side surface 321 of the second rail portion 320 on the upstream side of the engaging portion 335 where the gaming ball flows down (moves) is formed to be flush with the inner side surface of the bent portion 335b. Thus, the game ball can be prevented from being repelled by the bending portion 335 when the game ball passes through the bending portion 335b (engaging portion 335), so the game ball can be used as the first rail portion 310 and the second rail portion. It can be moved along the inner surface 311, 321 of 320. As a result, the trajectory of the gaming ball can be stabilized.

  As shown in FIG. 6C, the bent portion 335b is formed to be gradually thinner as it approaches the board surface 80a, and the inner side surface of the bent portion 335b approaches the board surface 80a. It is formed to extend toward the end face 80 b of the Thus, when the game ball passes through the bent portion 335b (engagement portion 335), the game ball can not easily be hit, so the trajectory of the game ball can be stabilized.

  Next, a third embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 7 (a) is a partial front view of the game board 80 in the third embodiment, and FIG. 7 (b) is a side view of the game board 80 as viewed in the direction of arrow VIIb of FIG. 7 (a). 7 (c) is a cross-sectional view of the game board 80 taken along the line VIIc-VIIc in FIG. 7 (a). Hereinafter, the same parts as those of the first embodiment are denoted by the same reference numerals, and the description thereof will be omitted, and different parts will be described. In Drawing 7, illustration of the lower end side of the 3rd rail part 430 and illustration of the 2nd rail part are omitted for convenience.

  As shown to Fig.7 (a), the channel | path formation member 107 is arrange | positioned facing the rail member 400 in 3rd Embodiment. The passage forming member 107 is a member for forming the passage 108 of the gaming ball between the outer rail 100 and the rail member 400, and the unevenness is formed on the surface facing the outer rail 100 and the rail member 400. This is to reduce the flow-down speed of the gaming ball together with the return rubber 240 attached to the upper end of the rail member 400 (first rail portion 210).

  As shown in FIG. 7 (b), the third rail portion 430 is a plate-like member connected to the first rail portion 210, and the extending portion 232 at the end face 80 b of the game board 80 is inserted by the insertion member P. It is fixed. The third rail portion 430 has a rib 432 protruding from the inner side surface 431 at a predetermined interval. The rib 432 is provided so as to project from the board surface 80a of the game board 80 to the front end (left end in FIG. 7B) of the third rail portion 430. Since the rib 432 is protruded from the third rail portion 430, the rigidity of the third rail portion 430 can be improved. Further, since the rigidity of the third rail portion 430 can be improved even if the thickness of the third rail portion 430 is reduced, the amount of protrusion (corresponding to the thickness) from the end face 80 b of the game board 80 can be reduced.

  Further, when the third rail portion 430 is fixed to the end face 80b of the game board 80, the ribs 432 are arranged in an uneven shape intersecting the vertical direction of the game board 80 where the game balls flow down (see FIG. 7 (a)). As a result, when passing through the passage 121, the gaming ball flows down while colliding with the unevenness and the rib 432 of the passage forming member 107, so that the flowing speed of the gaming ball can be reduced. The unevenness between the passage forming member 107 and the rib 432 of the third rail portion 430 are arranged to be offset in the vertical direction of the game board 80, so that the space between the passage forming member 107 and the third rail portion 430 is The game balls flowing down collide with the bumps and ribs 432 substantially alternately. Since the game balls can be moved in a zigzag manner as well as the unevenness of the game balls and the number of collisions with the ribs 432 can be increased, the flow-down speed of the game balls can be effectively reduced.

  Further, the rib 432 is provided on the inner side surface 431 of the third rail portion 430 so as to project from the board surface 80 a of the game board 80 to the front end of the third rail portion 430. When the third rail 430 is fixed to the end face 80 b of the game board 80, the extension part 232 is placed on the end face 80 b of the game board 80 to bring the rib 432 into contact with the board 80 a of the game board 80. Thereby, the movement of the third rail portion 430 to the rear (the right side in FIG. 7B) is restricted. The rib 432 can position the extension 232 when it is fixed to the end face 80b of the game board 80, so that the assembling workability of the third rail 430 can be improved.

  Next, a fourth embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 8 (a) is a partial front view of the game board 80 according to the fourth embodiment, and FIG. 8 (b) is a side view of the game board 80 as viewed in the direction of arrow VIIIb of FIG. 7 (a). Hereinafter, the same parts as those of the third embodiment are denoted by the same reference numerals, and the description thereof will be omitted, and different parts will be described. In Drawing 8, illustration of the lower end side of the 3rd rail part 430 and illustration of the 2nd rail part are omitted for convenience.

  As shown in FIG. 8A, the board surface of the game board 80 is replaced with the return rubber 240 (attached to the upper end of the first rail portion 210) in the third embodiment (see FIG. 7A). A speed control member 241 is disposed at 80a. The speed reducing member 241 is a member for reducing the speed of the gaming ball by passing the gaming ball moving inside the outer rail 100, and in the present embodiment, a tubular member having a curved passage inside. It is formed of Since the inner diameter of the passage is formed slightly larger than the diameter of the gaming ball, the gaming ball is reduced to a substantially constant speed while the gaming ball passes through the passage. By the game ball whose speed is reduced passing the passage 121, it is possible to more effectively reduce the flow-down speed of the game ball.

  In addition, the speed reduction member 241 is not limited to this, and it is possible to employ other speed reduction members. As another speed reduction member, for example, one provided with a member biased in one direction by an elastic force such as a spring or gravity. The speed reducing member is disposed in the passage of the game ball, and the movement of the game ball is reduced by passing the member against the biasing force, whereby the kinetic energy of the game ball is reduced and the speed of the game ball is reduced.

  Next, a fifth embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. In the first to fourth embodiments, the case where the third rail portions 230, 330, and 430 are fixed to the end face 80b of the game board 80 has been described. On the other hand, in the fifth embodiment, the case where the third rail portion 530 is fixed to the board surface 80 a of the game board 80 will be described. FIG. 9 (a) is a partial front view of the game board 80 according to the fifth embodiment, and FIG. 9 (b) is a side view of the game board 80 as viewed in the direction of arrow IXb of FIG. 9 (c) is a cross-sectional view of the game board 80 taken along line IXc-IXc of FIG. 9 (a). Hereinafter, the same parts as those of the first embodiment are denoted by the same reference numerals, and the description thereof will be omitted, and different parts will be described. In Drawing 9, illustration of the lower end side of the 3rd rail part 530 and illustration of the 2nd rail part are omitted for convenience.

  As shown to Fig.9 (a), the rail member 500 in 5th Embodiment is provided with the overhang | projection part 532 which protrudes in the horizontal direction from the inner surface 531 of the 3rd rail part 530. As shown in FIG. The overhanging portion 532 is a portion brought into contact with the board surface 80a of the game board 80, and continuously extends from the boundary of the third rail portion 530 and the extending portion 232 along the longitudinal direction of the third rail portion 530 to one side. It is overhangingly formed, and an insertion hole 532a is bored.

  In order to fix the third rail 530 to the game board 80, the extension 232 (see FIG. 9B) extended from the third rail 530 is brought into contact with the end face 80b of the game board 80 and stretched. After bringing the projecting portion 532 into contact with the board surface 80a of the game board 80, the insertion member P is inserted into the insertion hole 532a, and the overhanging portion 532 is fixed to the board surface 80a. The overhanging portion 532 is fixed to the panel surface 80a using the insertion member P in the same manner as the first rail portion 210 and the second rail portion 220 (see FIG. 5A). The direction in which the insertion member P is inserted into the rail portion 220 and the direction in which the insertion member P is inserted into the overhang portion 532 can be the same. Since the first rail portion 210, the second rail portion 220 and the third rail portion 530 can be fixed to the board surface 80a by inserting the insertion member P from one direction, the operator who performs the fixing work using the insertion member P can use the board surface 80a. There is no need to change the posture between the side and the end face 80b, and the fixing workability can be improved.

  In addition, even if the force to try to tilt the third rail portion 530 to the outside of the game board 80 is applied after the third rail section 530 is fixed to the game board 80, the extension part 532 plays a game. Since it is in contact with the end face 80 b of the board 80, the third rail portion 530 is prevented from being inclined to the outside of the game board 80. Further, since the overhanging portion 532 extends in the longitudinal direction of the third rail portion 530, the overhanging portion 532 functions as a rib, and the bending strength in the longitudinal direction of the third rail portion 530 can be improved.

  The overhanging portion 532 has an inclined portion 532b which becomes gradually thinner in the vicinity of the outer edge, and as shown in FIG. 9C, the slope of the inclined portion 532b faces the panel surface 80a when fixed to the panel surface 80a. It is formed to be inclined downward. Thus, when the gaming ball having passed through the speed reducing member 241 (see FIG. 9A) flows down to the overhanging portion 532 through the passage 121, the gaming ball climbs the inclined portion 532b to reduce energy. Ru. Thereby, the flow-down speed of the game ball can be reduced. Further, since the inclined portion 532b (the projecting portion 532) protrudes with respect to the board surface 80a, the gaming ball can be guided along the inclined portion 532b.

  Next, a sixth embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. In the fifth embodiment, the case where the overhanging portion 532 fixed to the board surface 80 a of the game board 80 is continuously extended along the longitudinal direction of the third rail portion 530 has been described. On the other hand, in the sixth embodiment, the case where the overhanging portion 632 is discontinuously projected to the third rail portion 630 will be described. FIG. 10 (a) is a partial front view of the game board 80 according to the sixth embodiment, and FIG. 10 (b) is a side view of the game board 80 as viewed in the direction of arrow Xb of FIG. 10 (a). 10 (c) is a cross-sectional view of the game board 80 taken along line Xc-Xc in FIG. 10 (a). Hereinafter, the same parts as those of the first embodiment are denoted by the same reference numerals, and the description thereof will be omitted, and different parts will be described. In Drawing 10, illustration of a part of 1st rail part 210 and 3rd rail part 630 and illustration of a 2nd rail part are omitted for convenience.

  As shown in FIG. 10A, the rail member 600 in the sixth embodiment is provided with an overhanging portion 632 extending horizontally from the inner side surface 631 of the third rail portion 630. The overhanging portion 632 is a portion brought into contact with the board surface 80a of the game board 80, and is overhangingly formed from a plurality of locations at the boundary between the third rail portion 630 and the extending portion 232. A hole 632a is bored. On the other hand, a recess 80 c for receiving the overhanging portion 632 is recessed at a predetermined depth of the same thickness as the overhanging portion 632 at a predetermined location of the gaming board 80 where the overhanging portion 632 is in contact. .

  To fix the third rail portion 630 to the game board 80, the extension 232 (see FIG. 10B) extended from the third rail portion 630 is brought into contact with the end face 80b of the game board 80 and stretched. After the projecting portion 632 is mounted in the recess 80c formed on the board surface 80a of the game board 80, the insertion member P is inserted into the insertion hole 632a, and the overhanging portion 632 is fixed to the board surface 80a.

  As shown in FIG. 10C, the overhanging portion 632 is embedded in the recess 80c recessed in the board surface 80a of the game board 80, and the overhanging part 632 becomes substantially flush with the board surface 80a of the game board 80. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the course of the game ball moving on the board 80 a of the game board 80 from being changed at the overhanging portion 632. In addition, when the overhanging portion 632 protrudes from the board surface 80a of the gaming board 80, the speed of the gaming ball is large (in particular, when the rail member 600 is used as a part of the guiding rail 100 (see FIG. 3)) The game ball jumps to the front side of the game board 80 from the overhang portion 632, and the trajectory of the game ball becomes unstable, or the game ball contacts the glass 22 (see FIG. 2) and the glass 22 is damaged by an impact. There is something to do. These can be solved by embedding the overhanging portion 632 in the board 80 a of the game board 80.

  A seventh embodiment will now be described with reference to FIGS. 11 and 12. In the first to sixth embodiments, the case where the rail members 200, 300, 400, 500, and 600 are formed by being divided into a plurality of members has been described. On the other hand, in the seventh embodiment, the case where the rail member 700 is integrally formed will be described. 11 (a) is a partial front view of the game board 180 according to the seventh embodiment, and FIG. 11 (b) is a side view of the game board 180 as viewed in the direction of arrow XIb of FIG. 11 (a). 11 (c) is a rear view of the game board 180 viewed from the direction of arrow XIc in FIG. 11 (b). In addition, in FIG. 11, illustration of a part of 3rd rail part 730 is abbreviate | omitted for convenience.

  As shown in FIG. 11A, the rail member 700 includes a first rail portion 710 disposed along the edge on the upper end side of the board surface 180a of the game board 180, and the predetermined first rail portion 710. The second rail portion 720 disposed along the lower edge of the lower surface 180a of the game board 180 at intervals, and the first rail portion 710 and the second rail portion 720 are connected in series to the game board 180. And a third rail portion 730 disposed along the edge of the board 180a. The first rail portion 710, the second rail portion 720, and the third rail portion 730 are integrally formed of synthetic resin such as polycarbonate.

  The first rail portion 710 is a portion where the inner side surface 711 formed in an arc shape in a front view is formed and the insertion hole 710 a is formed from the front surface to the back surface. Are connected. The back surface of the first rail portion 710 is in contact with the board surface 180a of the game board 180, and the insertion member is inserted into the insertion hole 710a and fixed to the board surface 180a. It is fixed.

  A return rubber 740 for absorbing the energy of the game balls is attached to the upper end of the inner side surface 711 of the first rail portion 710. The inner side surface 711 is formed in an arc shape that gradually approaches the outer edge (end surface 180 b) of the game board 180 as viewed from the front as it goes from the upper side to the lower side (FIG. 11A lower side). The inner side surface 711 of the first rail portion 710 is continuous with the inner side surface 731 of the third rail portion 730. Thus, the gaming ball moving (rolling or sliding) along the inner side surface 711 of the first rail portion 710 can be guided to the inner side surface 731 of the third rail portion 730.

  The second rail portion 720 is a portion spaced apart below the gaming board 180 by a predetermined distance from the first rail portion 710 and disposed along the edge of the gaming board 180, and the third rail portion above 730 are connected in series. The second rail portion 720 includes an inner side surface 721 formed in an arc shape in a front view, and the rear surface is in contact with the board surface 180 a of the game board 180. The second rail portion 720 is fixed to the board surface 180 a of the game board 180 by inserting the insertion member into the insertion hole 720 a formed in the second rail portion 720 and fixing the insertion members to the board surface 180 a. The rail member 700 is fixed to the board surface 180a of the game board 180 by the insertion members inserted into the first rail portion 710 and the second rail portion 720, so the rail member can be easily removed from the game board 180 when the pachinko machine 10 is discarded. It can be removed. Thus, the rail members 700 can be easily separated and collected for recycling.

  The third rail portion 730 is a portion for forming a passage of the gaming ball together with the first rail portion 710 and the second rail portion 720, and the inner side surface 731 is an inside of the first rail portion 710 and the second rail portion 720. The side surfaces 711 and 721 are continuously connected in a seamless manner. The third rail portion 730 is integrally formed with the first rail portion 710 and the second rail portion 720, so that the rail member 700 can be easily attached to and removed from the board surface 180a of the game board 180.

  The outer surface 701 of the rail member 700 is located in the same plane as the end surface 180 b of the gaming board 180 when viewed from the front. Since the third rail portion 730 is disposed on the board surface 180 a of the game board 180, the inner side surface 731 of the third rail portion 730 is the outer edge of the game board 180 by the thickness of the third rail portion 731 (end surface 180 b ) Is placed inside.

  As shown in FIG. 11B, the third rail portion 730 has an extending portion 702 extending toward the back side (right side in FIG. 11B) of the game board 180. On the other hand, in the end face 180b of the game board 180, a recess 181 is formed in the thickness direction at the location where the extension part 702 is disposed up to the back face 180c. As shown in FIG. 11C, the depth (the distance from the end face 180b to the bottom 181a of the depression 181) of the depression 181 from the end face 180b of the game board 180 is set to substantially the same dimension as the thickness of the extension part 702. Be done. As a result, the extension portion 702 faces the end face 180 b (the bottom 181 a of the depression 181) of the gaming board 180 and abuts on the end face 180 b (the bottom 181 a of the depression 181).

  The protruding heights of the rail members 700 from the board surface 180a of the game board 180 (left and right direction in FIG. 11B) are set to the same height in the first rail portion 710, the second rail portion 720 and the third rail portion 730. It is done. Thereby, after the game board 180 is attached to the inner frame 13, when the front door frame 14 (see FIG. 2) is closed, the glass 22 is disposed at the front end of the rail member 700, and the glass 22 and the game board It can be made substantially parallel to the 180 board 180a.

  According to the rail member 700, the third rail portion 730 is enlarged in the thickness direction of the gaming board 180 by the extending portion 702 by providing the third rail portion 730 with the extension portion 702 facing the end face 180b of the game board 180. did. The mechanical strength of the third rail portion 730 is improved by providing the extension portion 702 to enlarge the members, and the rail (third rail portion 730) attached near the outer edge of the board surface 180a of the game board 180. The strength was secured.

  Further, the third rail portion 730 is integrally formed with the first rail portion 710 and the second rail portion 720, and the extension portion 702 is made to abut on the end surface 180b of the game board 180 (the bottom 181a of the recess 181). . Thus, when an external force that causes the third rail portion 730 to tilt to the outside of the game board 180 acts, the extension section 702 abuts on the end face 180 b of the game board 180 (the bottom 181 a of the recess 181). A force against the external force for tilting the rail portion 730 can be generated in the third rail portion 730. As a result, the strength of the rail (third rail portion 730) in the twisting direction can be improved.

  The rail member 700 has ribs 703 projecting in the height direction of the rail member 700 (left and right direction in FIG. 11B) from the front end to the rear end at predetermined intervals in the longitudinal direction of the outer side surface 701. As a result, the rigidity of the rail member 700, in particular, the thin third rail portion 730 in the front-rear direction (the left-right direction in FIG. 11B) can be improved. As a result, the thickness (the left and right direction in FIG. 11A) of the third rail portion 730 can be reduced, and therefore, the game area PE of the game board 180 can be expanded by the reduced amount. In addition, the rib 703 is not protrudingly provided by the extension part 702, but the point by which it is protrudingly provided by the 3rd rail part 731 is mentioned later.

  Next, with reference to FIG. 12, the case where the game board 180 to which the rail member 700 is fixed is attached to the inner frame 113 will be described. 12 (a) is a partial front view of the game board 180, FIG. 12 (b) is a cross-sectional view of the game board 180 along line XIIb-XIIb of FIG. 12 (a), and FIG. It is a sectional view of game board 180 in the XIIc-XIIc line of (a), and Drawing 12 (d) is a fragmentary sectional view of the 3rd rail part 730 which expanded and showed a portion shown by XIId of Drawing 12 (c). is there. The inner frame 113 is the same except that the side wall 75 of the inner frame 13 described in the first embodiment is replaced with the side wall 114. Therefore, the illustration of the inner frame 113 other than the side wall 114 is omitted in FIG. Do.

  As shown in FIG. 12 (b), the side wall 114 of the inner frame 113 is a front inner wall surface located on the outside of the first rail portion 710, the second rail portion 720 and the third rail portion 730 mounted on the game board 180. 114a, a rear inner wall 114b located on the rear side of the front inner wall 114a and in contact with the end face 180b and the extending portion 702 of the game board 180, and a step-like shape projecting inwardly from the rear inner wall 114b And a stepped portion 114c. The side walls 114 are formed on the left and right sides of the inner frame 113, and the distance between the left and right rear inner wall surfaces 114b is set to be substantially the same as the distance between the left and right end faces 180b of the game board 180. Further, the height of the rear inner wall surface 114 b from the stepped portion 114 c is set to be substantially the same as the thickness of the game board 180. Thereby, when the game board 180 to which the rail member 700 is fixed is attached to the inner frame 113, the rear inner wall surface 114b abuts on the extending portion 702 as shown in FIG. 12C. Since the extension portion 702 is sandwiched between the end face 180 b (the bottom 181 a of the recess 181) and the rear inner wall surface 114 b of the game board 180, the third rail portion 730 is deformed when an external force is applied to the third rail portion 730. Then, it is prevented from spreading outside the game board 180.

  The rib 703 is provided on the outer side surface 701 of the rail member 700 (the first rail portion 710, the second rail portion 720, and the third rail portion 730) to protrude as shown in FIGS. 12 (b) and 12 (c). Thus, the ribs 703 provided on the third rail portion 730 have a protruding height gradually decreasing from the front to the rear of the game board (the lower side in FIG. 12B), that is, against the outer surface 701 Is set to be inclined downward. Then, as shown in FIG. 12 (d), the height of the rear inner wall surface 114b is set so that the downwardly inclined rib 703 abuts on the rear inner wall surface 114b (including the ridge line) when mounted on the inner frame 113. And the distance between the left and right rear inner wall surfaces 114b.

  Here, if the rib 703 inclined downward is not set to abut the rear inner wall surface 114b (including the ridge line) (if the rib 703 is short), the game board 180 is extended when mounted on the inner frame 113 It is necessary to accurately set the distance between the left and right rear inner wall surfaces 114b and the height of the rear inner wall surface 114b so that the protrusion 702 abuts on the rear inner wall surface 114b. In this case, high processing accuracy and assembly accuracy are required. On the other hand, if the rib 703 inclined downward as described above is set to abut the rear inner wall surface 114b, the processing accuracy with respect to the distance between the left and right rear inner wall surfaces 114b and the height of the rear inner wall surface 114b. Also, since the assembly accuracy can be relaxed and the gap between the rib 703 and the rear inner wall surface 114b can be eliminated, rattling of the game board 180 mounted on the inner frame 113 can be prevented.

  Next, an eighth embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. In the seventh embodiment, the case where the extension portion 702 of the rail member 700 is pressed by the inner frame 113 has been described. On the other hand, in the eighth embodiment, the case where the extension portion 702 of the rail member 700 is held by the game board 280 will be described. The same parts as those in the seventh embodiment are given the same reference numerals, and the description thereof will be omitted. FIG. 13 (a) is a partial front view of the game board 280 in the eighth embodiment, and FIG. 13 (b) is a cross-sectional view of the game board 280 taken along line XIIIb-XIIIb in FIG. 13 (a). (C) is a cross-sectional view of the game board 280 taken along the line XIIIc-XIIIc of FIG. 13 (a), and FIG. 13 (d) is an enlarged view of a part of FIG. 13 (c) FIG.

  As shown in FIG. 13A, the rail member 700 is disposed along the edge on the upper end side of the board surface 280a of the game board 280. In the game board 280, a fixed portion 281 is integrally formed on the end face 280b. The fixed part 281 is a part for preventing the extension part 702 of the rail member 700 from expanding to the outside of the game board 280, and as shown in FIGS. 13 (b) and 13 (c), A recessed portion 281 a is provided on the front surface of the fixed portion 281 along the end surface 280 b. The recess 281 a is a portion into which the extension portion 702 is inserted. The extension portion 702 is inserted into the recess 281 a, and the extension portion 702 is held by the fixing portion 281. This prevents the extension part 702 from being deformed and spreading outward.

  As shown in FIG. 13C, when the game board 280 to which the rail member 700 is fixed is attached to the inner frame 213, the first wall surface 214a of the side wall 214 of the inner frame 213 is attached to the first game board 180. It is located on the outside of the rail portion 710, the second rail portion 720 and the third rail portion 730 and abuts on the end surface of the fixing portion 281. As a result, the fixing portion 281 is held by the side wall 214 of the inner frame 213, and the extension portion 702 is held by the fixing portion 281. Since the fixed portion 281 is held by the inner frame 213, the fixed portion 281 integrally formed with the game board 280 can be made hard to break.

  As shown in FIG. 13 (d), the recess 281a has a depth and a depth such that the end of the downwardly inclined rib 703 abuts the fixing portion 281 when the rail member 700 is mounted on the game board 280. It is done. Since the rib 703 is set to abut on the fixing portion 281, it is possible to alleviate the processing accuracy with respect to the depth and depth of the recess 281a, and to prevent generation of a gap between the rib 703 and the fixing portion 281. . Thereby, rattling of the rail member 700 mounted on the game board 280 can be prevented.

  A ninth embodiment will now be described with reference to FIG. In the seventh and eighth embodiments, the third rail portion 730 is integrally formed with the first rail portion 710 and the second rail portion 720, and the front of the board 180a, 280a of the game board 180, 280 is formed. The case of being disposed (inside) has been described. On the other hand, in the ninth embodiment, the case where the third rail portion 830 of the integrally formed rail member 800 is disposed along the end face 80b of the game board 80 outside the board surface 80a will be described. FIG. 14 (a) is a partial front view of the game board 80 in the ninth embodiment, and FIG. 14 (b) is a side view of the game board 80 viewed from the direction of arrow XIVb in FIG. 14 (a). 14 (c) is a cross-sectional view of the game board 80 taken along line XIVc-XIVc of FIG. 14 (a). Hereinafter, the same parts as those of the first embodiment are denoted by the same reference numerals, and the description thereof will be omitted, and different parts will be described.

  As shown in FIG. 14 (a), the rail member 800 includes a first rail portion 810 disposed along the edge on the upper end side of the board surface 80a of the game board 80, a predetermined first rail portion 810, and the like. The second rail portion 820 disposed along the edge of the lower end side of the board surface 80a of the game board 80 at an interval and the first rail portion 810 and the second rail portion 820 are connected in series to the game board 80. And a third rail portion 830 disposed along the end face of the board surface 80a. The first rail portion 810, the second rail portion 820 and the third rail portion 830 are integrally formed of a synthetic resin such as polycarbonate.

  The first rail portion 810 is a portion where an inner side surface 811 formed in an arc shape in a front view is formed, and an insertion hole 810 a is formed from the front to the back and is fixed to the board surface 80 a of the game board 80 is there. The inner side surface 811 of the first rail portion 810 is formed in an arc shape gradually approaching the outer edge (end surface 80b) of the game board 80 as viewed from the front as it goes from the upper side to the lower side (the lower side in FIG. 14A). It is done. The inner side surface 811 of the first rail portion 810 is continuous with the inner side surface 831 of the third rail portion 830. Thus, the gaming ball moving (rolling or sliding) along the inner side surface 811 of the first rail portion 810 can be guided to the inner side surface 831 of the third rail portion 830.

  The second rail portion 820 is a portion spaced apart below the gaming board 80 by a predetermined distance from the first rail portion 810 and disposed along the edge of the gaming board 80, and the third rail portion upwards 830 are connected in series. The second rail portion 820 includes an inner side surface 821 formed in an arc shape in a front view, and is fixed to the board surface 80 a of the game board 80.

  The third rail portion 830 is a portion for forming a passage of the gaming ball together with the first rail portion 810 and the second rail portion 820, and the inner side surface 831 is an inside of the first rail portion 810 and the second rail portion 820. It is continuously connected to the side surfaces 811 and 821 and is located on the same plane as the outer edge (end surface 80 b) of the game board 80. As a result, the movable range of the game ball can be extended to the end of the board 80 b of the game board 80.

  As shown in FIG. 14B, the third rail portion 830 has an extension portion 802 facing the end face 80b toward the back side (right side in FIG. 14B) of the game board 80. Since the extension part 802 protrudes to the outside of the board surface 80a of the game board 80, it is possible to extend even if the recess 181 (see FIG. 11) for receiving the extension part 802 is not formed in the end face 80b of the game board 80. The portion 802 can be in contact with the end face 80 b of the game board 80.

  According to the rail member 800, the third rail portion 830 is made larger in the thickness direction of the game board 80 by the extension portion 802 by providing the third rail portion 830 with the extension portion 802 facing the end face 80b of the game board 80. did. The mechanical strength of the third rail portion 830 is improved by providing the extension portion 802 and the members are enlarged, and the rail (third rail portion 830) attached in the vicinity of the outer edge of the board surface 80a of the game board 80. The strength can be secured.

  Further, the third rail portion 830 is integrally formed with the first rail portion 810 and the second rail portion 820, and the extension portion 802 is in contact with the end surface 80b of the game board 80. As a result, when an external force acts to tilt the third rail portion 830 to the outside of the game board 80, the extension portion 802 abuts on the end face 80b of the game board 80, thereby tilting the third rail portion 830. Force can be generated in the third rail portion 830. As a result, the strength of the rail (third rail portion 830) in the twisting direction can be improved.

  In the third rail portion 830, ribs 803 are provided so as to protrude along the longitudinal direction (vertical direction in FIG. 14B) at predetermined intervals in the longitudinal direction of the outer side surface 801. Thereby, the rigidity in the vertical direction (the vertical direction in FIG. 14B) of the third rail portion 830 can be improved. As a result, it is possible to prevent the third rail portion 830 from being deformed when the game ball moves along the third rail portion 830, and the trajectory of the game ball can be stabilized.

  As shown in FIG. 14C, when the game board 80 is attached to the inner frame 313, the extension portion 802 is held by the side wall 314 of the inner frame 313. This prevents the extension portion 802 from rising from the end face 80 b of the game board 80, and can prevent the occurrence of a gap between the game board 80 and the third rail portion 830. As a result, it is possible to prevent the trajectory of the gaming ball moving along the third rail portion 830 from changing.

  A tenth embodiment will now be described with reference to FIG. In the ninth embodiment, the case where the rail member 800 mounted on the game board 80 is held by the inner frame 313 has been described. On the other hand, in the tenth embodiment, the case where the rail member 800 is held by the protective cover 130 will be described.

  As shown in FIG. 15A, the protective cover 130 is a synthetic resin member for protecting various control boards (not shown) disposed on the back of the game board 80, and the back of the game board 80. The outer peripheral portion 130 a is fixed to the back surface of the game board 80 so as to cover the control board disposed in the rear of the game board 80. An edge portion 131 on the right side (front side in the drawing of FIG. 15A) of the outer peripheral portion 130a of the protective cover 130 is bent along the end face 80b of the game board 80 and extends forward.

  As shown in FIG. 15 (b), a predetermined gap G is formed between the end face 80b of the game board 80 and the edge 131, and the size of the gap G is substantially the same as the thickness of the extending portion 802. It is done. Thus, the extended portion 802 of the rail member 800 can be held down by the edge portion 131 of the protective cover 130. By appropriately setting the size of the gap G, it is possible to press the extension part 802 by utilizing elastic deformation of the edge part 181 made of a synthetic resin.

  In the present embodiment, although the case where the extending portion 802 of the rail member 800 is held down by the protective cover 130 fixed to the back of the game board 80 has been described, the present invention is not necessarily limited to the protective cover 130. It is of course possible to hold the extension 802 by various back plate members disposed on the back of the board 80. As the back panel member, for example, a reinforcing material fixed to the back surface of the game board 80 and reinforcing the game board 80 may be mentioned.

  An eleventh embodiment will now be described with reference to FIG. In the first to tenth embodiments, the case where the third rail portions 230 to 830 are provided as part of the rail members 200 to 800 has been described. On the other hand, in the eleventh embodiment, a rail member 900 in which the inner frame 413 doubles as the third rail portion and the extension portion will be described. FIG. 16 (a) is a partial front view of the game board 80 in the eleventh embodiment, and FIG. 16 (b) is a cross-sectional view of the game board 80 taken along line XVIb-XVIb in FIG. 16 (a). Hereinafter, the same parts as those of the first embodiment are denoted by the same reference numerals, and the description thereof will be omitted, and different parts will be described.

  As shown in FIG. 16A, the rail member 900 is provided with a first rail portion 210 and a second rail portion 220 which are fixed to the board surface 80a of the game board 80.

As a result, since a new movement moving in the gaming board 380 can be added to the gaming ball, the player can be entertained. In addition, since the passage of the game ball is formed in the game board 380 by covering the end face 380b side of the notch 381 using a part (extension part) of the side wall 414 of the inner frame 413, the passage can be easily formed. it can. Furthermore, since the front side of the side wall 414 functions as the third rail portion, the number of parts of the rail member 700 can be reduced.

  In addition, it is difficult to embed an insertion member (such as a screw or a fixing pin) in the end surface 380b of the game board 380 in which the cutout portion 381 is formed to fix the extension portion. However, since the side wall 414 of the inner frame 413 is used as the extending portion, the extending portion (side wall 414) can be arranged and fixed to the end surface 380b of the game board 880 without using the insertion member. Thereby, the extending portion and the third rail portion to the end face 380 b of the game board 380 can be easily arranged.

The second rail portion 1420 includes an inner side surface 1421 formed in an arc shape in a front view, and is fixed to the board surface 480 a of the game board 480. The second rail portion 1420 is formed as a curved surface which is slightly curved inward as the outer side surface 1422 goes to the front (the front side of the paper surface of FIG. 25A).

  As shown in FIG. 25B, the game board 480 is mounted on the inner frame 613 with a predetermined gap G between the inner wall surface 614a of the side wall 614 of the inner frame 613 and the end face 480b of the game board 480. . Further, the front door frame 18 has a projecting edge portion 18 a protruding from the glass holder holding the glass 22 to the back side (the lower side in FIG. 25B). The inner surface 18b of the projecting portion 18a constitutes a part of an arc centered on a pivoting base end (not shown) of the front door frame 18. On the other hand, the end surface 480 b of the game board 480 and the outer surfaces 1412 and 1422 of the first rail portion 1410 and the second rail portion 1420 are also part of an arc centered on the pivot base end (not shown) of the front door frame 18 Configure In the state where the front door frame 18 is closed, the flange portion 18 a is accommodated in the gap G and is positioned between the game board 480 and the side wall 614.

  When the front door frame 18 is closed, the flange portion 18 a faces the outer side surfaces 1412 and 1422 of the first rail portion 1410 and the second rail portion 1420 between the first rail portion 1410 and the second rail portion 1420. The protruding length is set to be positioned. In addition, a part (rear side) of the flange portion 18a located between the first rail portion 1410 and the second rail portion 1420 with the front door frame 18 closed, faces the end surface 480b of the game board 480 The projection height is set to.
