図3は、遊技板50と遊技釘100との固定状態を示す縦断面図である。図3に示すように、遊技釘100は、遊技板50に対して一端側が保持され、遊技板50の前面51が向く前方側に突出するようにして遊技板50に取り付けられている。この遊技釘100が突出する側が遊技盤20の前面側に設けられる遊技領域に相当し、この前面側を遊技球が流下する。
FIG. 3 is a vertical sectional view showing a fixed state of the game board 50 and the game nail 100. As shown in FIG. 3, the game nail 100 is attached to the game board 50 so that one end side is held with respect to the game board 50 and the front surface 51 of the game board 50 projects toward the front side. The side where the game nail 100 projects corresponds to the game area provided on the front side of the game board 20, and the game ball flows down on this front side.
遊技釘100は、図3に示すように、細長く形成された軸部101と、軸部101の一端側であって遊技板50の前面51側に突出する先端側端部(突端部)にて軸部101より太く形成された頭部102とを有している。この遊技釘100は、金属製であり、例えば、黄銅によって形成され、線材に対して転造などの圧造加工を施して形成されている。
As shown in FIG. 3, the game nail 100 includes an elongated shaft portion 101 and a tip end portion (projection end portion) that is one end side of the shaft portion 101 and protrudes toward the front surface 51 side of the game plate 50. It has a head 102 formed thicker than the shaft 101. The game nail 100 is made of metal, for example, made of brass, and is formed by subjecting a wire rod to a forging process such as rolling.
軸部101は、頭部102とは反対側となる端部に遊技板50に保持される保持部111を有している。この保持部111は、二条の螺旋状の突条がローレット加工により形成されたねじ形状に形成されている。保持部111の更に先端側の先端面112は、半球状に形成されている。
The shaft portion 101 has a holding portion 111 held by the game board 50 at the end opposite to the head 102. The holding portion 111 is formed in a screw shape in which two spiral protrusions are formed by knurling. The tip surface 112 on the tip side of the holding portion 111 is formed in a hemispherical shape.
遊技板50とガラス板11の間を流下する遊技球は、図3に示すように、軸部101の一部分であって、保持部111と頭部102との間にて断面形状が円形の一定形状に形成された当接部113に当接する。遊技板50に対して遊技釘100は、上側に一定の傾斜を設けて取り付けられ、例えば、水平より5度上側に傾斜させて取り付けられ、上方から遊技釘100に当接した遊技球が遊技板50側に案内され、遊技板50の前面51に沿って遊技球が落下し易く構成されている。
As shown in FIG. 3, the game ball flowing down between the game plate 50 and the glass plate 11 is a part of the shaft portion 101 and has a constant cross-sectional shape between the holding portion 111 and the head portion 102. It abuts on the abutting portion 113 formed in a shape. The game nail 100 is attached to the game board 50 with a certain inclination on the upper side, for example, is attached so as to be inclined 5 degrees above the horizontal, and the game ball that is in contact with the game nail 100 from above is the game board. It is configured to be guided to the 50 side and to easily drop the game ball along the front surface 51 of the game board 50.
軸部101の一部分であって、当接部113を一部分とする断面形状が一定に形成された部位の外径D1は、保持部111の外径D2より細く形成され、例えば、略1.85mmの外形とされている。この当接部113に相当する部分が素材としての線材の外径と略同一とされ、保持部111に対しては、当接部113より大きな塑性変形が圧造加工により施される。このため、加工硬化により当接部113より保持部111の方が硬く形成されている。ここで、保持部111の外径D2とは、軸部101の中心となる軸線から最も離れた突条の外周側の端に相当する最大部分における外径である。
An outer diameter D1 of a portion of the shaft portion 101, which is a part of the contact portion 113 and has a constant cross-sectional shape, is formed to be smaller than the outer diameter D2 of the holding portion 111, for example, about 1.85 mm. It is the outer shape of. A portion corresponding to the contact portion 113 has substantially the same outer diameter as that of the wire material, and the holding portion 111 is subjected to plastic deformation larger than that of the contact portion 113 by forging. Therefore, the holding portion 111 is harder than the contact portion 113 due to work hardening. Here, the outer diameter D2 of the holding portion 111 is the outer diameter of the largest portion corresponding to the outer peripheral side end of the protrusion that is farthest from the center axis of the shaft portion 101.
遊技板50に対して保持部111は、図3に示すように、大部分が遊技板50の前面51より奥側に相当する遊技板50の厚み内に挿入され、一部が遊技板50の前面51より前方側に突出する長さに設定されている。遊技板50の前面51より前方側に保持部111が突出する突出量は僅かな量であり、略0.3mmとされている。遊技球の当接や角度調整のためのハンマの打力が遊技釘100の突出している部位に加えられると、遊技板50に設けられる釘穴52の縁部分には高い曲げ応力が生じ、釘穴52の縁部分と遊技釘100の表面との接触力も高いものとなる。この場合に、当接部113などよりも表面が硬化した保持部111が釘穴52の縁部分に当接する構成とされるため、遊技釘100の折損を防止することができる。なお、保持部111の軸方向に沿った長さは、例えば、略4.0mmとされ、遊技板50の前面51より遊技釘100が突出する突出量は、例えば、略18.5mmとされている。
As shown in FIG. 3, with respect to the game board 50, the holding portion 111 is inserted into the thickness of the game board 50 corresponding to the inner side of the front surface 51 of the game board 50, and a part of the game board 50 is inserted. The length is set so as to project forward from the front surface 51. The amount by which the holding portion 111 projects from the front surface 51 of the game board 50 to the front side is a slight amount, and is about 0.3 mm. When the hammer hitting force for abutting the game ball and adjusting the angle is applied to the protruding portion of the game nail 100, a high bending stress is generated in the edge portion of the nail hole 52 provided in the game board 50, and the nail is nailed. The contact force between the edge of the hole 52 and the surface of the game nail 100 is also high. In this case, the holding portion 111 having a harder surface than the abutting portion 113 and the like comes into contact with the edge portion of the nail hole 52, so that the game nail 100 can be prevented from being broken. The length of the holding portion 111 along the axial direction is, for example, about 4.0 mm, and the projection amount by which the game nail 100 projects from the front surface 51 of the game board 50 is, for example, about 18.5 mm. There is.
遊技板50には、遊技釘100を挿入する前に予め保持部111より小径で断面円形の釘穴52を穿孔し、その釘穴52に遊技釘100が挿入される。詳しくは、遊技釘100は、頭部102を押さえられ、釘穴52内に保持部111のねじ形状に沿って回転しつつ釘穴52内に挿入される。
Before inserting the game nail 100 into the game plate 50, a nail hole 52 having a smaller diameter and a circular cross section than the holding portion 111 is previously drilled, and the game nail 100 is inserted into the nail hole 52. Specifically, the game nail 100 is inserted into the nail hole 52 while being pressed by the head 102 and rotating along the screw shape of the holding portion 111 in the nail hole 52.
この釘穴52として予め穿孔される内径D3は、遊技板50から遊技釘100を引き抜く方向側への力に対抗する保持力(以下、引き抜き力と称す。)が略250Nから略500Nの範囲内となるように設定されている。引き抜き力は、頭部102を工具で掴んだ状態で遊技釘100を軸方向に沿って抜く方向側への力を測定し、遊技釘100が抜き出されることとなる力を測定することで求められる。この引き抜き力は、釘穴52における遊技釘100を保持する部位の内径D3と遊技釘100の保持部111の外径D2との差に相当する締め代によって変化し、締め代が大きくなるほど引き抜き力が高くなり、締め代が小さくなると引き抜き力が低くなる。
The inner diameter D3 that is pre-drilled as the nail hole 52 has a holding force (hereinafter referred to as a pulling force) that opposes the force in the direction of pulling out the game nail 100 from the game plate 50 within a range of approximately 250N to approximately 500N. Is set. The pulling-out force is obtained by measuring the force in the direction of pulling out the game nail 100 along the axial direction while holding the head 102 with a tool, and measuring the force with which the game nail 100 is pulled out. To be This pull-out force changes depending on the tightening margin corresponding to the difference between the inner diameter D3 of the portion that holds the game nail 100 in the nail hole 52 and the outer diameter D2 of the holding portion 111 of the game nail 100, and as the tightening margin increases, the pull-out force increases. Becomes higher and the tightening margin becomes smaller, the pulling force becomes lower.
引き抜き力は、内径D3が異なる複数種類の釘穴52を遊技板50に穿孔し、保持部111の外径D2を一定とした遊技釘100を挿入して固定し、各遊技釘100の引き抜き力を測定することで設定した。この測定結果より、保持部111の外径D2および釘穴52の内径D3の許容寸法が決定されている。
As for the pulling-out force, a plurality of types of nail holes 52 having different inner diameters D3 are punched in the game board 50, and the gaming nails 100 with the outer diameter D2 of the holding portion 111 being fixed are inserted and fixed. Was set by measuring. From the measurement result, the allowable dimensions of the outer diameter D2 of the holding portion 111 and the inner diameter D3 of the nail hole 52 are determined.
保持部111が2.08mmの遊技釘100に対して遊技釘100の引き抜き力を測定した結果、釘穴52の内径D3が1.84mmから1.88mmの範囲(徐変範囲)では、釘穴52の内径D3が0.01mm変化する毎に30N〜50Nの範囲内で変化した。また、この徐変範囲においては、釘穴52の内径D3が0.01mm減少する毎に次第に引き抜き力の減少量が低下した。一方、1.88mmより内径D3を拡大した範囲(急変範囲)として、釘穴52の内径D3を1.89mmとした場合には、1.88mmの場合と比較して引き抜き力が大きく低下し、釘穴52の内径D3の0.01mmの変化に対して引き抜き力が60N以上低下した。本実施形態においては、この釘穴52の内径D3の変化量に対して、引き抜き力が大きく低下する1.88mmを釘穴52の内径D3の基準寸法として設定されている。なお、釘穴52の内径D3が1.88mmの場合における引き抜き力は略440Nであった。
As a result of measuring the pull-out force of the game nail 100 with respect to the game nail 100 of which the holding portion 111 is 2.08 mm, when the inner diameter D3 of the nail hole 52 is in the range of 1.84 mm to 1.88 mm (gradual change range), the nail hole Every time the inner diameter D3 of 52 changed by 0.01 mm, it changed within the range of 30N to 50N. Further, in this gradual change range, the amount of decrease in the pull-out force gradually decreased each time the inner diameter D3 of the nail hole 52 decreased by 0.01 mm. On the other hand, when the inner diameter D3 of the nail hole 52 is set to 1.89 mm as a range (a sudden change range) in which the inner diameter D3 is expanded from 1.88 mm, the pulling-out force is greatly reduced as compared with the case of 1.88 mm. The pull-out force decreased by 60 N or more with respect to the change of the inner diameter D3 of the nail hole 52 of 0.01 mm. In the present embodiment, 1.88 mm at which the pulling-out force greatly decreases with respect to the amount of change in the inner diameter D3 of the nail hole 52 is set as the reference dimension of the inner diameter D3 of the nail hole 52. The pull-out force was about 440 N when the inner diameter D3 of the nail hole 52 was 1.88 mm.
釘穴52の内径D3の違いは、ハンマで遊技釘100の頭部102を叩いて遊技釘100の角度を規定の角度に調整する場合の感触に影響する。合成樹脂製の遊技板50は、木製の遊技板に比べて硬質であり、釘穴52に保持された遊技釘100を叩いた感触は、合成樹脂製の遊技板50においては硬く、木製の遊技板においては柔らかい。この違いは、遊技釘100に当接する遊技球の挙動にも影響し、木製の遊技板においては遊技釘に当接した遊技球が反発しやすく、それに比して合成樹脂製の遊技板50においてはその反発がしにくい。
The difference in the inner diameter D3 of the nail hole 52 affects the feel when hitting the head 102 of the game nail 100 with a hammer to adjust the angle of the game nail 100 to a specified angle. The game board 50 made of synthetic resin is harder than the wooden game board, and the feel of hitting the game nail 100 held in the nail hole 52 is hard in the game board 50 made of synthetic resin, and is made of wood. Soft on the board. This difference also affects the behavior of the game ball that abuts on the game nail 100. In a wooden game board, the game ball that abuts on the game nail easily repels, and in comparison, in the game board 50 made of synthetic resin. Is hard to repel.
また、釘穴52の内径D3の違いによって、遊技釘100の繰り返し曲げに対する耐久性も変化する。具体的には、遊技釘100の頭部102に対して力を加えて、遊技釘100を遊技板50の前面51と平行な一方側と他方側、例えば、左側と右側とに交互に塑性変形を伴う曲げ変形を生じさせた場合、釘穴52の内径D3が大きいほど、すなわち、引き抜き力が低いほど、遊技釘100が折損するまでの曲げ回数が多く、耐久性が高いものとなった。遊技球の当接部113に相当する箇所に力を繰り返し加え、塑性変形を伴わない耐久試験を実施した結果においても、釘穴52の内径D3が大きいほど、すなわち引き抜き力が低いほど、耐久性が高いものとなった。
Also, the durability of the game nail 100 against repeated bending changes depending on the difference in the inner diameter D3 of the nail hole 52. Specifically, a force is applied to the head 102 of the game nail 100 to plastically deform the game nail 100 to one side and the other side parallel to the front surface 51 of the game board 50, for example, the left side and the right side. In the case of causing bending deformation accompanied by, the larger the inner diameter D3 of the nail hole 52, that is, the lower the pulling-out force, the more the number of bendings until the game nail 100 is broken, and the higher the durability. Even when the durability test is performed by repeatedly applying a force to a portion corresponding to the contact portion 113 of the game ball and without plastic deformation, the larger the inner diameter D3 of the nail hole 52, that is, the lower the pulling force, the durability. Became high.
遊技釘100の引き抜き力は、木製の遊技板において250N程度であり、この木製の遊技板における遊技球の挙動および遊技釘100の調整の際の感触を近づけるために、本実施形態においては遊技釘100の引き抜き力は、略250Nから略500Nの範囲内となるように設定している。この引き抜き力の設定としては、例えば、略250Nから略400Nとした方が良く、略250Nから略350Nとした方が好適である。ただし、この引き抜き力の許容範囲を狭めるほど、釘穴52の内径D3と保持部111の外径D2の寸法を厳しく管理する必要があるため、製造コスト等を考慮して一定以上の範囲に設定することが好ましい。
The pulling force of the game nail 100 is about 250 N in the wooden game board, and in order to make the behavior of the game ball in this wooden game board and the feel at the time of adjusting the game nail 100 closer, the game nail in this embodiment. The pulling force of 100 is set to be within a range of approximately 250N to approximately 500N. As the setting of this pulling-out force, for example, it is better to set it to about 250N to about 400N, and it is preferable to set it to about 250N to about 350N. However, as the allowable range of the pulling force is narrowed, the dimensions of the inner diameter D3 of the nail hole 52 and the outer diameter D2 of the holding portion 111 need to be strictly controlled. Preferably.
図4は、上側の始動入賞口25の上側部分に設けられる2本の遊技釘100を模式的に示した図である。2本の遊技釘100は、互いの頭部102が離間する方向側に曲げられた状態とされている。2本の遊技釘100の角度は、頭部102の付け根部分の間隔を、薄板状で間隔Wに設定された金属製のゲージ30を差し込んで規定の間隔Wとすることで設定する。この規定の間隔Wとして、遊技釘100の頭部102の間隔の方が遊技釘100の付け根側より広げられる幅とすることで、遊技者から見て遊技球が始動入賞口25に入りやすく見える。しかし、この2本の遊技釘100およびその周辺の遊技釘100の引き抜き力によっては、全く同じ配列、同じ間隔、同じ角度に遊技釘100が配置されていても、始動入賞口25への遊技球の入賞確率が異なるものとなる。従来からのパチンコ機に慣れた遊技者にとっては、見た目と比べて入賞確率が低いと、遊技場や遊技機メーカーに嫌悪感を抱くことも考えられるため、合成樹脂製の遊技板50において、引き抜き力は木製の遊技板に近づけた低い値に設定することが好ましい。これにより、遊技釘100に当接する遊技球の挙動が木製の遊技板における遊技球の挙動に近く、熟練の遊技者にも親しみ易い遊技機を提供することができる。
FIG. 4 is a diagram schematically showing the two game nails 100 provided in the upper portion of the upper starting winning opening 25. The two game nails 100 are bent in the direction in which the heads 102 of the two game nails 100 are separated from each other. The angle of the two game nails 100 is set by inserting the metal gauge 30 having a thin plate shape and having the interval W set to the specified interval W so that the interval between the base portions of the head 102 is set. By setting the width of the head 102 of the game nail 100 to be wider than the base side of the game nail 100 as the prescribed interval W, the player can easily see the game ball entering the starting winning opening 25. .. However, depending on the pulling-out force of these two game nails 100 and the surrounding game nails 100, even if the game nails 100 are arranged at exactly the same arrangement, at the same interval, and at the same angle, a game ball to the starting winning hole 25. The winning probabilities of are different. For a player who has become accustomed to conventional pachinko machines, if the winning probability is lower than it looks, he/she may have an aversion to the amusement hall or the gaming machine manufacturer. The force is preferably set to a low value close to that of a wooden game board. As a result, the behavior of the game ball that abuts on the game nail 100 is close to the behavior of the game ball on the wooden game board, and it is possible to provide a game machine that is familiar to a skilled player.
このように、パチンコ機10においては、遊技釘100における当接部113より表面が硬い硬質部としての保持部111が遊技板50の前面51に対して前後両側に位置している。このため、遊技板50の前面51における釘穴52の縁部分に遊技釘100が接触することがあっても、その部位は当接部113よりも硬質な部位である。よって、釘穴52の縁部分と遊技釘100との当接による遊技釘100の折損を抑制することができ、樹脂製の遊技板50における遊技釘100の調整作業を好適に行うことができる。
As described above, in the pachinko machine 10, the holding portions 111, which are hard portions having a harder surface than the contact portions 113 of the game nail 100, are located on both front and rear sides with respect to the front surface 51 of the game board 50. Therefore, even if the game nail 100 comes into contact with the edge portion of the nail hole 52 on the front surface 51 of the game board 50, that portion is a harder portion than the contact portion 113. Therefore, breakage of the game nail 100 due to contact between the edge portion of the nail hole 52 and the game nail 100 can be suppressed, and the adjustment work of the game nail 100 on the resin game board 50 can be suitably performed.
また、当接部113より表面が硬い保持部111は、遊技板50の前面51より僅かに突出した状態とされている。このため、保持部111と保持部111より軟らかい軸部101との境界位置を視認することで遊技釘が規定位置にあるか否かを容易に確認することができ、遊技釘100を規定位置に管理し易くすることができる。また、遊技板50が透明であるので、保持部111が透明な遊技板50によって透視でき、さらには遊技板50の前面51より前方側に突出する保持部111の突出量は僅かであるため、保持部111が完全に遊技板50の前面51より奥側に入り込んでいるものとの見た目に大差がない。従来における樹脂製の遊技板を用いたパチンコ機においては保持部が遊技板の前面より奥側に位置させるものの、そのパチンコ機と見栄えは変わらず、しかも遊技釘100を規定位置に管理しやすいパチンコ機とすることができる。
Further, the holding portion 111, the surface of which is harder than the contact portion 113, is in a state of slightly protruding from the front surface 51 of the game board 50. Therefore, by visually recognizing the boundary position between the holding portion 111 and the shaft portion 101 that is softer than the holding portion 111, it is possible to easily confirm whether or not the game nail is at the specified position, and place the game nail 100 at the specified position. It can be easy to manage. Further, since the game board 50 is transparent, the holding portion 111 can be seen through by the transparent game board 50, and further, since the holding portion 111 that projects forward from the front surface 51 of the game board 50 has a small protrusion amount, There is no great difference in appearance from the one in which the holding portion 111 is completely inward from the front surface 51 of the game board 50. In the conventional pachinko machine using a game board made of resin, the holding part is located on the back side of the front surface of the game board, but the appearance is not different from that of the pachinko machine and it is easy to manage the game nail 100 at the specified position. It can be a machine.
また、従来の樹脂製の遊技板における遊技釘の引き抜き力は、木製の遊技板における引き抜き力の2倍以上に相当する500Nより大きな値とされていた。樹脂製の遊技板は、木製の遊技板に比べて、締め代の変化に対して引き抜き力が大きく変化し、この変化量は、上記したように、一定量以上の締め代においては釘穴の内径の変化に対する変化量が少なくなるため、変化量が少なくなる寸法まで締め代を大きくし、それに伴い遊技釘の引き抜き力は大きな値となっていた。
Further, the drawing force of the game nail in the conventional resin game board is set to a value larger than 500 N, which is more than twice the drawing force in the wooden game board. Compared with the wooden game board, the withdrawal force of the resin game board changes significantly with respect to the change of the tightening margin. Since the amount of change with respect to the change of the inner diameter is small, the tightening margin is increased to a size where the amount of change is small, and the pulling force of the game nail is large accordingly.
これに対し、本発明におけるパチンコ機10においては、樹脂製の遊技板50における遊技釘100の引き抜き力が低く抑えられた締め代とされ、遊技釘100の保持力が低く抑えられている。この保持力の低下により、遊技釘100の角度調整における感触が柔らかくて作業性が良く、また、遊技釘100に当接する遊技球の挙動が木製の遊技板における遊技球の挙動に近く、熟練の遊技者も親しみ易い遊技機とすることができる。
On the other hand, in the pachinko machine 10 according to the present invention, the pulling force of the game nail 100 on the resin game plate 50 is set to be a low tightening margin, and the holding force of the game nail 100 is suppressed to be low. Due to this reduction in holding force, the feel of the angle adjustment of the game nail 100 is soft and the workability is good, and the behavior of the game ball that abuts on the game nail 100 is close to the behavior of the game ball on the wooden game board, so that the skill of the skilled player is improved. It is possible to make the game machine familiar to the player.
ここで、上記した第1実施形態に代えて、全ての遊技釘100に対しての引き抜き力を低く設定するように、寸法管理を厳しくしなくても、入賞口への入賞等、遊技の結果に影響しやすい遊技釘100(特定遊技釘100a)に対しての引き抜き力のみが低くなるようにしても良い。図3に示すように、入賞口の上流側や、入賞通路の入口付近、或いは、遊技領域21に入った遊技球が最初に当接する部位等の特定部位61に設けられる複数の特定遊技釘100aが設けられる釘穴52は、他の釘穴52に比べて内径D3の許容寸法の中央値を大きく設定しても良い。すなわち、締め代が異なる複数種類の係合構造となるように遊技釘および釘穴の寸法を設定し、特定遊技釘100aの釘穴52は、基準寸法の1.88mmに対して大小0.01mmの範囲を許容寸法として設定する一方、特定遊技釘100a以外の一般遊技釘100bは、基準寸法に対してマイナス0.01mmからプラス0.03mmまでの許容寸法とする。平均寸法として0.01mmの差となるものの、許容寸法が拡げられた釘穴52に対しては加工の速度を速めたり、管理コストを低減したりすることができ、製造時などにおいて角度調整が施されやすい特定遊技釘100aについては耐久性やハンマで叩いた感触を柔らかなものとする等、機能性を向上することができる。
Here, in place of the first embodiment described above, the result of the game such as winning the prize hole, etc., without strict dimensional management so that the pulling force for all the game nails 100 is set low. Only the pulling-out force for the game nail 100 (specific game nail 100a) that is apt to affect may be reduced. As shown in FIG. 3, a plurality of specific game nails 100a provided on the upstream side of the winning opening, near the entrance of the winning passage, or in a specific portion 61 such as a portion where the game ball in the game area 21 first comes into contact. For the nail hole 52 provided with, the center value of the allowable dimension of the inner diameter D3 may be set to be larger than that of the other nail holes 52. That is, the dimensions of the game nail and the nail hole are set so as to have a plurality of types of engagement structures having different tightening margins, and the nail hole 52 of the specific game nail 100a is 0.01 mm in size relative to the standard dimension of 1.88 mm. On the other hand, the range is set as an allowable dimension, while the general game nails 100b other than the specific game nail 100a have an allowable dimension from 0.01 mm to 0.03 mm from the reference dimension. Although the average dimension has a difference of 0.01 mm, the machining speed can be increased and the management cost can be reduced for the nail hole 52 whose allowable dimension has been expanded. The specific game nail 100a that is easily applied can have improved functionality such as durability and a soft feel when hit with a hammer.
次に、一般遊技釘100bに比べて特定遊技釘100aの引き抜き力を低下させる他の形態について説明する。図5は、第2実施形態における遊技板200における遊技釘100の固定状態を示す縦断面図である。上記した第1実施形態と遊技釘100は同一形状であり、釘穴の形状が異なっている。以下、第1実施形態における構成と同一の構成については同一の符号を付して説明を省略し、第1実施形態と異なる部分を説明する。
Next, another mode in which the pulling force of the specific game nail 100a is reduced as compared with the general game nail 100b will be described. FIG. 5 is a vertical cross-sectional view showing a fixed state of the game nail 100 on the game board 200 according to the second embodiment. The above-described first embodiment and the game nail 100 have the same shape, but the shape of the nail hole is different. Hereinafter, the same components as those in the first embodiment will be denoted by the same reference numerals and the description thereof will be omitted, and only the portions different from the first embodiment will be described.
第2実施形態における釘穴202は、図5に示すように、遊技板50における遊技釘100が突出する前面201側の内径D4が大きい段付きの断面円形の穴形状に形成され、奥側の内径D3が前面201側の内径D4より小さく形成されている。遊技釘100の保持部111は、奥側の内径D3の部分に保持されている。遊技板200の前面201からの遊技釘100の突出量は、第1実施形態における突出量と同一に設定され、保持部111の一部が遊技板200の前面201より前方側に位置している。かかる段付き釘穴202は、上記した特定遊技釘100aが配置される位置に設けられ、一般遊技釘100bに対しては上記した第1実施形態における断面一定の釘穴52が設けられている(図2および図3参照)。
As shown in FIG. 5, the nail hole 202 in the second embodiment is formed in a stepped circular hole shape having a large inner diameter D4 on the front surface 201 side of the game plate 50 from which the game nail 100 projects, and at the back side. The inner diameter D3 is formed smaller than the inner diameter D4 on the front surface 201 side. The holding portion 111 of the game nail 100 is held at a portion having an inner diameter D3 on the back side. The amount of protrusion of the game nail 100 from the front surface 201 of the game plate 200 is set to be the same as the amount of protrusion in the first embodiment, and a part of the holding portion 111 is located in front of the front surface 201 of the game plate 200. .. The stepped nail hole 202 is provided at a position where the specific game nail 100a described above is arranged, and the general game nail 100b is provided with the nail hole 52 having a constant cross section in the above-described first embodiment ( 2 and 3).
段付き釘穴202は、遊技板200に対して保持部111より小さい内径D3を遊技板200の前後に貫通するように形成し、その工程とは別工程で保持部111より大きな内径D4を遊技板200の前面201側から奥面に貫通しない一部に形成する。大きな内径D4を形成する工程は、奥側の内径D3を形成する前に形成しても、その後に形成しても良い。
The stepped nail hole 202 is formed so that the inner diameter D3 smaller than the holding portion 111 with respect to the game plate 200 penetrates the front and rear of the game plate 200, and the inner diameter D4 larger than the holding portion 111 is played in a process different from that process. The plate 200 is formed in a part that does not penetrate from the front surface 201 side to the back surface. The step of forming the large inner diameter D4 may be performed before or after forming the inner diameter D3 on the back side.
一般遊技釘100bの釘穴52の内径D3は、段付き釘穴202の内径と同一の基準寸法とし、上記第1実施形態における基準寸法より小さな内径とし、例えば、0.02mm小さな内径とする。基準寸法が小さくされた分、遊技釘100の引き抜き力が高くなるものの、その保持部111の軸方向における内径D3に保持される保持長さは、段付き釘穴202において短く形成され、段付き釘穴202に保持される特定遊技釘100aの引き抜き力は一般遊技釘100bと比べて低くなる。このように構成することで、一般遊技釘100bおよび特定遊技釘100aの保持部111を保持する部分の内径D3を共通化し、同一の工具で加工することができる。そして、その加工速度を特定遊技釘100aにおける奥側の内径D3を加工する際には、一般遊技釘100bにおける内径D3を加工するときより遅くすることで工具の軸がぶれにくくなって、精度の高い内径D3を形成することができる。
The inner diameter D3 of the nail hole 52 of the general game nail 100b has the same reference dimension as the inner diameter of the stepped nail hole 202, and is smaller than the reference dimension in the first embodiment, for example, 0.02 mm smaller inner diameter. Although the pull-out force of the game nail 100 is increased by the amount by which the reference dimension is reduced, the holding length of the holding portion 111 held by the inner diameter D3 in the axial direction is formed short in the stepped nail hole 202, and stepped. The pulling force of the specific game nail 100a held in the nail hole 202 is lower than that of the general game nail 100b. With this configuration, the inner diameter D3 of the portion holding the holding portion 111 of the general game nail 100b and the specific game nail 100a can be made common, and can be processed by the same tool. Then, when processing the inner diameter D3 on the back side of the specific game nail 100a is slower than when processing the inner diameter D3 of the general game nail 100b, the axis of the tool is less prone to wobbling and the accuracy is improved. A high inner diameter D3 can be formed.
また、遊技釘100が保持される保持部111は、特定遊技釘100aの方が遊技板200の前面201より奥側となり、同一の突出量で遊技釘100が設けられても特定遊技釘100aにおける遊技球が弾み易いものとなり、木製の遊技板に近い遊技球の挙動を合成樹脂製の遊技板200で実現しやすくすることができる。
Further, the holding portion 111 for holding the game nail 100 is such that the specific game nail 100a is on the back side of the front surface 201 of the game board 200, and even if the game nail 100 is provided with the same protrusion amount, the specific game nail 100a is provided. The game ball becomes easy to bounce, and the behavior of the game ball close to a wooden game plate can be easily realized with the game plate 200 made of synthetic resin.
次に、第3実施形態について説明する。第3実施形態においては、遊技釘100の形状が第1実施形態および第2実施形態と異なるものであり、また、遊技板50の厚みが厚く形成されている。図6は、第3実施形態における遊技釘の固定状態を示す縦断面図である。以下、第3実施形態における遊技釘の固定構造について、第1実施形態と異なる部分を説明する。
Next, a third embodiment will be described. In the third embodiment, the shape of the game nail 100 is different from that of the first and second embodiments, and the game board 50 is formed thick. FIG. 6 is a vertical cross-sectional view showing a fixed state of the game nail according to the third embodiment. Hereinafter, with respect to the game nail fixing structure according to the third embodiment, parts different from the first embodiment will be described.
第3実施形態における遊技釘150は、頭部102と保持部111との間の軸部分が一定の断面形状でなく、保持部111に近い一部分に外周が細く形成されたくびれ部152が設けられ、そのくびれ部152の長さ分、第1実施形態における遊技釘100より長く形成されている。このくびれ部152は、黄銅の線材を細く圧造加工することにより形成され、加工硬化により遊技球が当接する当接部113等に比べて表面が硬く形成されている。くびれ部152は、軸部151の長さ方向における中央部が最も細く、その両側が次第に太く形成され、側面視において円弧状に凹んで形成されている。くびれ部152の軸方向の長さは例えば2mmとされ、最小部分の直径は例えば1.75mmとされている。このくびれ部152の一部は、遊技板300の前面301より前方側に0.3mm突出するように位置し、残りの部分が遊技板300の厚み内に位置している。遊技板300は、第1実施形態における遊技板50より厚く形成され、遊技釘150の保持部111は、軸部101の軸方向に沿った全域が保持される。釘穴302の内径D3は、上記した第1実施形態における釘穴52の内径D3と同一である。
In the game nail 150 according to the third embodiment, the shaft portion between the head 102 and the holding portion 111 does not have a constant cross-sectional shape, and a constricted portion 152 having a narrow outer periphery is provided in a portion near the holding portion 111. The length of the constricted portion 152 is longer than that of the game nail 100 in the first embodiment. The constricted portion 152 is formed by thinly forging a brass wire material, and its surface is formed harder than the contact portion 113 or the like with which the game ball abuts due to work hardening. The constricted portion 152 has the thinnest central portion in the longitudinal direction of the shaft portion 151, is formed to be gradually thicker on both sides, and is formed in a circular arc shape in a side view. The axial length of the constricted portion 152 is, for example, 2 mm, and the diameter of the minimum portion is, for example, 1.75 mm. A part of the constricted portion 152 is located so as to project 0.3 mm forward from the front surface 301 of the game board 300, and the remaining part is located within the thickness of the game board 300. The game board 300 is formed thicker than the game board 50 in the first embodiment, and the holding portion 111 of the game nail 150 is held in the entire axial direction of the shaft portion 101. The inner diameter D3 of the nail hole 302 is the same as the inner diameter D3 of the nail hole 52 in the above-described first embodiment.
この第3実施形態における遊技釘150が遊技板300に設けられることにより、第1実施形態における遊技釘100と比べて、遊技球が当接する当接部113と保持部111との間隔を離間させることができ、遊技球が弾み易く、木製の遊技板に近い遊技球の挙動を合成樹脂製の遊技板300で実現することができる。
Since the game nail 150 according to the third embodiment is provided on the game plate 300, the gap between the contact portion 113 and the holding portion 111 with which the game ball abuts is separated from the game nail 100 according to the first embodiment. Therefore, the game ball is easy to bounce, and the behavior of the game ball close to that of a wooden game plate can be realized by the game plate 300 made of synthetic resin.
また、くびれ部152は、遊技板300の前面301における釘穴52の縁部分に当接するものの、当接部113に比べて硬化した高硬度の部位であり、しかも、その部位が細く形成されているので、遊技釘100と釘穴52の縁部分とが接触しにくく、接触したとしてもその接触力が低くなることで、遊技釘100の折損を防止することができる。
Further, the constricted portion 152 is a highly hardened portion hardened as compared with the abutting portion 113, though it comes into contact with the edge portion of the nail hole 52 on the front surface 301 of the game board 300, and the portion is formed thin. Therefore, it is difficult for the gaming nail 100 and the edge portion of the nail hole 52 to come into contact with each other, and even if they come into contact with each other, the contact force becomes low, so that the gaming nail 100 can be prevented from being broken.
次に、パチンコ機10等に取り付けられる遊技釘が折損した場合に、その遊技釘を交換対象の遊技釘として新たな遊技釘に交換する作業に使用可能な遊技釘交換具500について、図7以降を参照して説明する。図7は、遊技釘交換具500の斜視図、図8は、遊技釘交換具500の側面図、図9は、遊技釘交換具500の一部を断面視した側面図である。図10および図11は、遊技釘交換具500を構成する一部の部材を示した図であり、図10(a)は、押出用作動部材562と、押出用支持部材561と、スペーサ522の側面図、図10(b)は、押出用支持部材561およびスペーサ522の縦断面図、図10(c)は、差込用作動部材572と、差込用支持部材571の側面図、図10(d)は、差込用支持部材571の縦断面図、図11(a)は、押出用支持部材561とスペーサ522の斜視図、図11(b)は、差込用支持部材571の斜視図、図11(c)は、受け部材513および固定ねじ523の斜視図である。なお、図7から図9においては、作動部材512および先端側支持部材516として、押し出し操作に使用される押出用作動部材562および押出用支持部材561が取り付けられた遊技釘交換具500を図示している。また、図10(c)においては、遊技釘を併せて図示している。

As shown in FIG. 8, the base member 511 is a metal member having a constant thickness and having a substantially rectangular shape in a side view, and has three recessed portions 531, 532, 533 recessed from the side on one side to the other side. , Elongated holes 534 are formed. The base member 511 may be made of a metal material such as aluminum, may be formed by casting, or may be formed by cutting.
ベース部材511は、図8に示すように、一定の幅を有するようにして作業者が把持可能に形成された本体部541と、本体部541に対して一定の間隔を隔てて一方側(図8の左側)に突出する作動側突出部542および受け側突出部543とを有している。ベース部材511の作動側突出部542および受け側突出部543の間部分には、側面視コの字状の遊技板用凹み部533が形成され、この遊技板用凹み部533に交換対象の遊技釘が差し込まれた遊技板が配置可能とされている。
As shown in FIG. 8, the base member 511 has a main body portion 541 formed to have a constant width so as to be held by an operator, and one side (FIG. 8) with a constant distance from the main body portion 541. 8 has a working side protrusion 542 and a receiving side protrusion 543. In a portion between the operating side projecting portion 542 and the receiving side projecting portion 543 of the base member 511, a U-shaped side view U-shaped game plate recessed portion 533 is formed, and this game board recessed portion 533 has a game to be replaced. A game board with nails inserted can be placed.
ベース部材511の作動側突出部542の突出方向側端部には、図8に示すように、遊技板用凹み部533に近い位置にて突出する先端側突出部544と、遊技板用凹み部533から遠い位置にて突出する基端側突出部545とを有している。先端側突出部544と基端側突出部545との間部分には、遊技板用凹み部533より深さ(図8の右側方向への長さ)が浅い操作用凹み部532が形成され、その幅(図8の上下方向に沿った長さ)が先端側突出部544に取り付けられる支持部材516より長く設定されて、操作用凹み部532を通じて支持部材516の取り付けおよび交換が可能とされている。
As shown in FIG. 8, at the end of the operating side protrusion 542 of the base member 511 in the protrusion direction, a tip side protrusion 544 protruding at a position close to the game plate recess 533 and a game plate recess. It has a base end side protrusion 545 protruding at a position far from 533. An operation recess 532 having a depth (a length in the right direction in FIG. 8) shallower than the game plate recess 533 is formed in a portion between the tip-side protrusion 544 and the base-end-side protrusion 545, Its width (length along the vertical direction in FIG. 8) is set to be longer than that of the support member 516 attached to the tip-side protrusion 544, and the support member 516 can be attached and replaced through the operation recess 532. There is.
操作用凹み部532に対して本体部541側(図8の右側)に設けられる長穴534は、先端側突出部544および基端側突出部545の並ぶ方向に沿って長く形成されている。この長穴534における本体部541を形成する部分と、遊技板用凹み部533の底部分とは、略一直線上に設けられ、ベース部材511の外周に対して一定の幅を有する部分が、長穴534から遊技板用凹み部533側に跨がるようにして本体部541がベース部材511の全長にわたって一定幅となる形状とされている。本体部541の幅は、ベース部材511の厚み(図8の紙面垂直方向の厚み)に対して若干大きく設定され、ベース部材511における長穴534と遊技板用凹み部533との間部分に相当する連結部546の幅は、図8に示すように、本体部541の幅より薄く設定されている。
The elongated hole 534 provided on the main body 541 side (the right side in FIG. 8) with respect to the operation recessed portion 532 is formed long along the direction in which the distal end side protrusion 544 and the proximal end side protrusion 545 are arranged. The portion of the elongated hole 534 forming the main body portion 541 and the bottom portion of the game plate recess 533 are provided in a substantially straight line, and a portion having a constant width with respect to the outer periphery of the base member 511 is long. The main body 541 is shaped so as to have a constant width over the entire length of the base member 511 so as to extend from the hole 534 to the game plate recess 533 side. The width of the main body portion 541 is set to be slightly larger than the thickness of the base member 511 (thickness in the direction perpendicular to the paper surface of FIG. 8), and corresponds to the portion between the elongated hole 534 and the game board recess 533 in the base member 511. The width of the connecting portion 546 is set smaller than the width of the main body portion 541 as shown in FIG.
作業者は、長穴534のみに指を掛けてベース部材511の本体部541を把持しても良いし、連結部546を跨ぐようにして長穴534と遊技板用凹み部533との両方に指をかけてベース部材511を把持しても良い。本体部541が略一定幅に形成されることでベース部材511を安定して把持しやすく、また、連結部546が本体部541に比べて薄幅に設定されることで、長穴534と遊技板用凹み部533との両方に指をかけ易くされている。

Here, as shown in FIG. 9, the through hole of the base end side support member 517 is formed to have an inner diameter of a circular cross section slightly larger than the extrusion shaft portion 582 over the entire length, and the outer peripheral surface of the extrusion shaft portion 582. Is supported. One end side of the through hole of the base end side support member 517 has a stepped shape so that the head portion 583 of the pushing operation member 562 can enter, and the head portion 583 of the pushing operation member 562 is As shown in FIG. 9, it is in a state of being sandwiched between the base end side supporting member 517 and the fixing operation member 519. Therefore, by rotating the rotation operation member 518 with respect to the base member 511, the rotation operation member 518, the fixed operation member 519, the base end side support member 517, and the pushing operation member 562 are integrated. In this state, the pushing operation member 562 (actuation member 512) can be advanced or retracted along the axial direction. In the range in which the member integrated with the pushing operation member 562 can move along its axial direction, the rotation operation member 518 contacts the recessed portion 531 that is recessed in an L shape on the outer peripheral surface of the base member 511. Up to the position, this position is the maximum advancing state in which the pushing operating member 562 (operating member 512) has moved to the receiving member 513 side most.
押出先端部581は、遊技釘の軸部より細い外径に設定され、また、遊技板に形成される釘穴の内径より小さな外径に設定されている。押出先端部581の長さは、押出用支持部材561によって押出軸部582が支持された状態において、遊技板の釘穴を貫通するように十分長く設定されている。また、押出先端部581は、回動操作部材518がベース部材511の凹み部531に当接した最大進行状態において、押出先端部581の先端が受け部材513における先端側突出部544側を向いた傾斜面を延長した仮想平面内に進入する長さに設定され、最大進行状態において、遊技板の後面より突出する長さに設定とされている。
The push-out tip portion 581 is set to have an outer diameter smaller than the shaft portion of the game nail, and is set to an outer diameter smaller than the inner diameter of the nail hole formed in the game board. The length of the extrusion tip portion 581 is set to be sufficiently long so as to penetrate the nail hole of the game board in a state where the extrusion shaft portion 582 is supported by the extrusion support member 561. Further, in the maximum forward state in which the rotation operation member 518 is in contact with the recessed portion 531 of the base member 511, the distal end of the extrusion distal end portion 581 faces the distal end side protruding portion 544 side of the receiving member 513. It is set to a length that enters the virtual plane that extends the inclined surface, and is set to a length that projects from the rear surface of the game board in the maximum proceeding state.
押出用支持部材561は、図10(b)に示すように、外径が3種類に異なり、内径が2種類に異なる円筒状の金属製部材である。押出用支持部材561は、図10(a)に示すように、外周面に雄ねじが形成された雄ねじ部584を間部分として、一方側に雄ねじ部584より小径に外径が形成された先端部585を有し、反対側に雄ねじ部584より大径に外径が形成された摘み部586を有している。この摘み部586は、作業者によって押出用支持部材561を回動操作する際に摘まれる部位であり、外周面に網状に凹んだ転造加工等の滑り止め形状が施されることが好ましい。
As shown in FIG. 10B, the pushing support member 561 is a cylindrical metal member having three different outer diameters and two different inner diameters. As shown in FIG. 10(a), the extruding support member 561 has a male screw portion 584 having a male screw formed on the outer peripheral surface as an intermediate portion, and a tip portion having an outer diameter smaller than the male screw portion 584 on one side. 585, and a knob portion 586 having an outer diameter larger than that of the male screw portion 584 is provided on the opposite side. The grip portion 586 is a portion that is gripped when the operator pivotally operates the pushing support member 561, and it is preferable that the outer peripheral surface has a non-slip shape such as a mesh-shaped rolling process.
押出用支持部材561の中心部分にて貫通する貫通孔は、その先端部585側において押出用作動部材562の押出軸部582の外径より小さく押出先端部581より僅かに大きな内径に形成されて押出先端部581の外周を支持する先端側孔587と、先端側孔587より大きな内径であって押出軸部582より僅かに大きな内径に形成されて押出軸部582の外周を支持する基端側支持孔588とを有している。
The through hole that penetrates through the central portion of the pushing support member 561 is formed with an inner diameter that is smaller than the outer diameter of the pushing shaft portion 582 of the pushing actuating member 562 and slightly larger than the pushing tip portion 581 on the tip portion 585 side. A tip side hole 587 that supports the outer circumference of the extrusion tip portion 581, and a base end side that is formed with an inner diameter larger than the tip side hole 587 and slightly larger than the extrusion shaft portion 582 to support the outer circumference of the extrusion shaft portion 582. And a support hole 588.
押出用支持部材561の先端部585の先側には、図10に示すように、押出用支持部材561とは別部品として形成された筒状のスペーサ522が設けられている。スペーサ522は、遊技板の前面に当接する部材であり、金属より軟質の例えばシリコンゴム等の材料で形成されている。スペーサ522は、遊技釘の交換作業時において押出用支持部材561と遊技板との間に介在し、遊技板の傷付きを防止する。
As shown in FIG. 10, a tubular spacer 522 formed as a separate component from the pushing support member 561 is provided on the tip side of the tip end portion 585 of the pushing support member 561. The spacer 522 is a member that comes into contact with the front surface of the game board, and is made of a material that is softer than metal, such as silicon rubber. The spacer 522 is interposed between the pushing support member 561 and the game plate during the game nail replacement work, and prevents the game plate from being scratched.
スペーサ522の外径は、押出用支持部材561の先端部585の外径と略一致する断面円形の外径に設定され、スペーサ522に設けられる貫通孔の内径は、押出用支持部材561の先端側孔587と略一致して押出先端部581を挿通可能な大きさに設定されている。
The outer diameter of the spacer 522 is set to an outer diameter of a circular cross section that substantially matches the outer diameter of the tip portion 585 of the pushing support member 561, and the inner diameter of the through hole provided in the spacer 522 is the tip of the pushing support member 561. The size is set to be substantially the same as the side hole 587 so that the extrusion tip 581 can be inserted therethrough.
スペーサ522の貫通孔に沿った両端側の端面のうち、一端側は貫通孔の中心軸に垂直に形成され、押出用支持部材561の先端部585に対面し、平面同士で密着した状態で接触可能とされている。一方、スペーサ522の端面のうち、遊技板に当接する側の端面は、図10(a)および図11(a)に示すように、スペーサ522の貫通孔の中心軸に対して垂直ではなく、傾斜した平面状、例えば、略5度傾斜した方向側を向く面形状に形成されている。上記したように、遊技板の前面に対して遊技釘が垂直でなく傾斜して設けられているので、スペーサ522の端面は、その傾斜に対応した角度分、貫通孔に対して傾斜して設けられ、遊技板の前面に密着して圧力を分散し、遊技板の前面を傷つけ難いものとしつつ、スペーサ522の中心軸は遊技釘の軸方向に沿って配置可能とし、押出用作動部材562も遊技釘の軸方向に沿って移動可能とされている。
Of the end faces on both end sides along the through hole of the spacer 522, one end side is formed perpendicularly to the central axis of the through hole, faces the tip portion 585 of the extrusion supporting member 561, and contacts with each other in a state where the flat surfaces are in close contact with each other. It is possible. On the other hand, of the end surfaces of the spacer 522, the end surface on the side contacting the game plate is not perpendicular to the central axis of the through hole of the spacer 522, as shown in FIGS. 10(a) and 11(a), It is formed in an inclined plane shape, for example, a surface shape that faces the direction inclined by approximately 5 degrees. As described above, since the game nail is provided not in the vertical direction with respect to the front surface of the game plate, but the end surface of the spacer 522 is inclined with respect to the through hole by an angle corresponding to the inclination. Therefore, the central axis of the spacer 522 can be arranged along the axial direction of the game nail while keeping the front surface of the game board in close contact with the front surface of the game board so as not to damage the front surface of the game board. It is possible to move along the axial direction of the game nail.
また、スペーサ522は、押出用支持部材561とは別部品で形成されているので、押出用支持部材561を支持するベース部材511に対して押出用作動部材562の中心軸に対して回動自在とされる。よって、図9に示すように、スペーサ522の一端面が側面視で傾斜した状態としたり、その状態からスペーサ522を90度または180度回転させて別の方向側に傾斜した状態としたりする等、種々の方向にスペーサ522の端面が傾斜した状態に配置可能とすることができ、ベース部材511が作業対象となる遊技釘に対して、いずれの側に位置してもスペーサ522を遊技板の前面に密着させて作業を行うことができる。
Further, since the spacer 522 is formed as a separate component from the pushing support member 561, the spacer 522 is rotatable with respect to the center axis of the pushing operation member 562 with respect to the base member 511 that supports the pushing support member 561. It is said that Therefore, as shown in FIG. 9, one end surface of the spacer 522 is inclined in a side view, or the spacer 522 is rotated 90 degrees or 180 degrees from that state to be inclined in a different direction. , The spacer 522 can be arranged in a state in which the end surface of the spacer 522 is inclined, and the spacer 522 of the game board can be arranged regardless of the position of the base member 511 with respect to the game nail to be worked. Work can be performed by closely contacting the front surface.
スペーサ522の外周面には、図11(a)に示すように、スペーサ522の貫通穴と平行に延びる溝状の縦溝部522aが設けられている。この縦溝部522aは、スペーサ522における受け部材513側を向く傾斜面の高さの中間位置に相当する部位の一方側(図9の紙面垂直方向奥側)に設けられ、この縦溝部522aの向きを確認しつつスペーサ522の傾斜面の向きを調整することで、簡易且つ正確にスペーサ522の向きを調整することができる。
On the outer peripheral surface of the spacer 522, as shown in FIG. 11A, a groove-shaped vertical groove portion 522 a extending parallel to the through hole of the spacer 522 is provided. The vertical groove portion 522a is provided on one side of the portion corresponding to the middle position of the height of the inclined surface of the spacer 522 facing the receiving member 513 side (the back side in the direction perpendicular to the paper surface of FIG. 9), and the direction of the vertical groove portion 522a. By adjusting the direction of the inclined surface of the spacer 522 while checking the above, it is possible to easily and accurately adjust the direction of the spacer 522.
差込用作動部材572は、図10(a)および図10(c)に示すように、押出用作動部材562に対して、押出先端部581が取り除かれた形状に形成され、押出軸部582と略同一の太さおよび長さに設定された差込軸部592と、押出用作動部材562と略同一形状の頭部593とを有している。差込軸部592の端面は、図10(c)にて一部断面視して示すように、中心軸に対応する位置が最も凹んだ略半球状に形成され、差込軸部592によって遊技釘に押圧力が付与された場合に遊技釘の頭部が差込軸部592の中心側に案内されつつ遊技釘が差し込まれる。また、回動操作部材518がベース部材511に当接した最大進行状態において、押圧力が付与される遊技釘が他の遊技釘と略同一の深さで遊技板に差し込まれる長さに、差込軸部592の長さが設定されている。なお、差込軸部592の端面の凹み形状は、図10(c)に示すように、遊技釘の頭部の球面形状と同一または遊技釘の頭部の球面形状の半径より大きな半径の球面の一部形状にて形成されることが遊技釘を中心側に案内することができて好ましい。また、差込軸部592の端面は、必ずしも凹んだ形状とする必要はなく、差込軸部592の中心軸に垂直な平面状に形成しても良い。
As shown in FIGS. 10A and 10C, the insertion actuating member 572 is formed in a shape in which the extruding tip portion 581 is removed from the extruding actuating member 562, and the extruding shaft portion 582 is formed. The insertion shaft portion 592 is set to have substantially the same thickness and length, and the head portion 593 having substantially the same shape as the pushing operation member 562. The end surface of the insertion shaft portion 592 is formed in a substantially hemispherical shape in which the position corresponding to the central axis is most recessed, as shown in FIG. When a pressing force is applied to the nail, the head of the game nail is guided to the center side of the insertion shaft portion 592 and the game nail is inserted. Further, in the maximum advanced state in which the rotation operation member 518 is in contact with the base member 511, the game nail to which a pressing force is applied is inserted into the game board at the same depth as the other game nails. The length of the insert shaft portion 592 is set. In addition, as shown in FIG. 10C, the concave shape of the end surface of the insertion shaft portion 592 is the same as the spherical shape of the head of the game nail or a spherical surface having a radius larger than the radius of the spherical shape of the head of the game nail. It is preferable that the game nail is formed in a partial shape so that the game nail can be guided to the center side. Further, the end surface of the insertion shaft portion 592 does not necessarily have to be a concave shape, and may be formed in a plane shape perpendicular to the central axis of the insertion shaft portion 592.
差込用支持部材571は、図10(a)から図10(d)に示すように、押出用支持部材561と同様に、雄ねじ部594と、雄ねじ部594より小径に外径が形成された先端部595と、雄ねじ部594より大径に外径が形成され且つ外周面に網状に凹んだ転造加工が施された摘み部596とを外面形状として有している。また、差込用支持部材571の中心部分にて貫通する貫通孔として、その先端部595側において差込用作動部材572の差込軸部592より小径の内径に形成された先端側孔597と、先端側孔597より大きな内径であって差込軸部592より僅かに大きな内径に形成されて差込軸部592の外周を支持する基端側支持孔598とを有している。
As shown in FIGS. 10A to 10D, the insertion support member 571 has a male screw portion 594 and an outer diameter smaller than that of the male screw portion 594 as in the case of the pushing support member 561. It has, as an outer surface shape, a tip end portion 595 and a knob portion 596 having an outer diameter larger than that of the male screw portion 594 and having an outer peripheral surface subjected to a rolling process in which it is recessed in a net shape. Further, as a through hole penetrating through the central portion of the insertion support member 571, a distal end side hole 597 formed on the distal end portion 595 side and having an inner diameter smaller than that of the insertion shaft portion 592 of the insertion operation member 572. , And a base end side support hole 598 that has an inner diameter larger than the tip end side hole 597 and slightly larger than the insertion shaft portion 592 and supports the outer periphery of the insertion shaft portion 592.
また、差込用支持部材571は、押出用支持部材561には設けられていない部位として、先端部595の一部に中心軸から離間する半径方向に貫通する貫通溝599が設けられている。差込用支持部材571の先端側孔597は、遊技釘の軸部より僅かに大きな内径に形成されて遊技釘の軸部の外周を支持する大きさに設定されている。また、差込用支持部材571の基端側支持孔598は、先端側孔597より大きな内径であって遊技釘の頭部より僅かに大きな内径に形成されて遊技釘の頭部および差込軸部592の外周を支持する大きさに設定されている。すなわち、差込用支持部材571の基端側支持孔598は、遊技釘の頭部を基準として大きさが決定され、その大きさに略一致するように差込用支持部材571の基端側支持孔598の内径が設定され、基端側支持孔598の内径に対応して各作動部材562,572の軸部582,592の外径は、大きさが略一致するようにして設定されている。このため、遊技釘交換具500においては、共通の基端側支持部材517等の部材を利用しつつ、押出用支持部材561および押出用作動部材562の組合せと、差込用支持部材571および差込用作動部材572の組合せとを取り替えて、遊技釘の押し出し操作と、差し込み操作とを実行可能とすることができる。
Further, the insertion support member 571 is provided with a through groove 599 penetrating in a radial direction, which is separated from the central axis, in a part of the tip end portion 595 as a portion not provided in the extrusion support member 561. The tip side hole 597 of the insertion support member 571 is formed to have an inner diameter slightly larger than the shaft portion of the game nail and is sized to support the outer periphery of the shaft portion of the game nail. Further, the base-side support hole 598 of the insertion support member 571 is formed to have an inner diameter larger than the tip-side hole 597 and slightly larger than the head of the game nail. The size is set to support the outer periphery of the portion 592. That is, the size of the base end side support hole 598 of the insertion support member 571 is determined with the head of the game nail as a reference, and the base end side of the insertion support member 571 is substantially matched with the size. The inner diameter of the support hole 598 is set, and the outer diameters of the shaft portions 582, 592 of the respective actuating members 562, 572 are set so that their sizes are substantially the same, corresponding to the inner diameter of the base end side support hole 598. There is. Therefore, in the game nail exchanging tool 500, a combination of the pushing support member 561 and the pushing operation member 562, the inserting support member 571, and the insertion support member 571 are used while using a common member such as the base end side support member 517. By replacing the combination of the operating member 572 for inserting, it is possible to execute the pushing operation and the inserting operation of the game nail.
差込用支持部材571の貫通溝599は、図11(b)に示すように、溝の底部分に相当する一端側(図11(b)における上側)の端部に設けられる側面視円形状の開口部601と、その円形状の開口部601の直径より細幅で一定の間隔を隔てた長溝部602とが連続する溝形状とされている。長溝部602の幅は、差込用支持部材571の先端側孔597より僅かに細幅で、遊技釘の軸部の直径より大きな幅に設定され、また、開口部601は、遊技釘の頭部の最大直径より大きな直径に設定されている。このため、貫通溝599を通じて、遊技釘は差込用支持部材571の貫通孔内に配置可能とされ、また、貫通孔内に配置された遊技釘は差込用支持部材571の貫通溝599を通じて相対的に外側に配置可能とされている。
As shown in FIG. 11B, the through groove 599 of the insertion support member 571 has a circular shape in side view provided at one end side (upper side in FIG. 11B) corresponding to the bottom portion of the groove. The opening 601 and the long groove 602, which is narrower than the diameter of the circular opening 601 and has a constant interval, are formed in a continuous groove shape. The width of the long groove portion 602 is set to be slightly narrower than the tip end side hole 597 of the insertion support member 571 and set to a width larger than the diameter of the shaft portion of the game nail, and the opening portion 601 is the head of the game nail. The diameter is set larger than the maximum diameter of the part. Therefore, the game nail can be arranged in the through hole of the insertion support member 571 through the through groove 599, and the game nail arranged in the through hole is through the through groove 599 of the insertion support member 571. It can be arranged relatively outside.
受け部材513は、図9に示すように、ベース部材511の受け側突出部543にねじ込まれる雄ねじが形成された外周面を有する金属製の受け部材取付軸514に対して、その一端部であって遊技板用凹み部533側に取り付けられる部材である。受け部材513は、図11(c)に示すように、円環状に形成した二枚の部材を重ねて形成され、金属より軟質のシリコンゴム等の樹脂により形成された受け面部611と、金属製の受け支持部612とが接着固定されている。受け面部611における先端側突出部544側の面は遊技板に当接する受け部を形成し、受け面部611が軟質の樹脂により形成されることで、受け面部611が遊技板に当接しても傷つきにくいものとされている。この受け面部611は、スペーサ522と同様、遊技板に当接する側の面が受け部材取付軸514に対して垂直でなく傾斜して形成され、また、受け部材取付軸514が支持されるベース部材511に対して受け面部611が受け部材取付軸514の中心軸に対して回動自在とされる。この受け面部611と、スペーサ522とは、遊技板の前面および後面に対して遊技釘が垂直でなく傾斜した角度に相当する例えば5度傾斜して形成され、受け面部611およびスペーサ522の傾斜面を、図9に示すように、平行となるようにして遊技板を挟み込むように固定することで、遊技板を安定した状態で固定可能とされている。
As shown in FIG. 9, the receiving member 513 is one end portion of a metal receiving member mounting shaft 514 having an outer peripheral surface formed with a male screw to be screwed into the receiving side protruding portion 543 of the base member 511. It is a member attached to the recessed portion 533 for the game board. As shown in FIG. 11( c ), the receiving member 513 is formed by stacking two annular members, and a receiving surface portion 611 made of a resin such as silicon rubber which is softer than a metal, and a metallic member. And the receiving and supporting portion 612 of the same are bonded and fixed. The surface of the receiving surface portion 611 on the tip side protruding portion 544 side forms a receiving portion that contacts the game board, and the receiving surface portion 611 is formed of soft resin, so that the receiving surface portion 611 is damaged even if it contacts the game board. It is considered difficult. Like the spacer 522, the receiving surface portion 611 is formed so that the surface on the side contacting the game board is not perpendicular to the receiving member mounting shaft 514 but is inclined, and the receiving member mounting shaft 514 is supported by a base member. With respect to 511, the receiving surface portion 611 is rotatable with respect to the central axis of the receiving member mounting shaft 514. The receiving surface portion 611 and the spacer 522 are formed, for example, at an angle of 5 degrees, which corresponds to the angle at which the game nail is not vertical with respect to the front surface and the rear surface of the game plate, and the receiving surface portion 611 and the inclined surface of the spacer 522 are formed. As shown in FIG. 9, the game board can be fixed in a stable state by fixing the game board so as to be parallel and sandwiching the game board.
受け面部611は、スペーサ522の外径に対して中心軸から離間する径方向の直径が大きく、具体的には、全方向において略3倍程度の大きさに設定されている。このため、スペーサ522に対して受け面部611の中央部分に向けて押圧力が付与されると、受け面部611とスペーサ522の傾斜面が平行な状態へ遷移しやすく構成されている。
The receiving surface portion 611 has a large diameter in the radial direction away from the central axis with respect to the outer diameter of the spacer 522, and specifically, is set to be about three times as large in all directions. Therefore, when a pressing force is applied to the spacer 522 toward the central portion of the receiving surface portion 611, the inclined surfaces of the receiving surface portion 611 and the spacer 522 are easily transitioned to a parallel state.
受け支持部612には、受け部材513の中心部から半径方向に向かって貫通して内周面に雌ねじが形成された貫通孔が設けられ、この貫通孔に対して、図11(c)に示すように、固定ねじ523を挿通させ、固定ねじ523の先端部を受け部材取付軸514の外周面に押し当てることにより、受け部材513が受け部材取付軸514に固定可能とされている。この固定ねじ523は、受け部材513における傾斜面の高さの中間位置に相当する部位の一方側(図9の紙面垂直方向奥側)に設けられており、この固定ねじ523の向きを確認しつつ受け部材513の傾斜面の向きを調整することで、より正確に受け部材513の向きを調整することができる。
The receiving support portion 612 is provided with a through hole that penetrates from the central portion of the receiving member 513 in the radial direction and has an internal thread formed on the inner peripheral surface thereof. As shown in FIG. As shown, the fixing member 513 can be fixed to the receiving member mounting shaft 514 by inserting the fixing screw 523 and pressing the tip of the fixing screw 523 against the outer peripheral surface of the receiving member mounting shaft 514. The fixing screw 523 is provided on one side of the portion of the receiving member 513 corresponding to the middle position of the height of the inclined surface (the inner side in the direction perpendicular to the paper surface of FIG. 9), and the direction of the fixing screw 523 is confirmed. While adjusting the direction of the inclined surface of the receiving member 513, the direction of the receiving member 513 can be adjusted more accurately.
受け部材513において傾斜面の向きを確認可能な固定ねじ523と、スペーサ522の外周面に設けられてスペーサ522の傾斜面の向きを確認可能な縦溝部522aとは、いずれも、回動操作の中心から離間した外周面に設けられて、作業者から視認し易く設定されている。また、受け部材513およびスペーサ522において対向する傾斜面が平行となる向きにおいては、受け部材513およびスペーサ522の向きを調整する際の回動中心軸に対して同一方向側(図9の紙面垂直方向奥側)に、受け部材513の固定ねじ523と、スペーサ522の縦溝部522aとが配置される。このため、例えば、図9に示す状態としたい場合、作業者は、受け部材513およびスペーサ522の回動中心軸に対して同一の方向側(図9の紙面垂直方向奥側)に、縦溝部522aおよび固定ねじ523を配置すれば良い。この調整操作により、受け部材513およびスペーサ522の回動中心軸に対して一方側(図9の右側)に、受け部材513におけるスペーサ522に近づくように高く形成された部位とスペーサ522における受け部材513から遠く離れた部位が位置し、逆側(図9の左側)に受け部材513におけるスペーサ522から遠く離れた部位とスペーサ522における受け部材513側に位置する部位とが位置した状態となる。よって、作業者は、縦溝部522aおよび固定ねじ523を目印にして受け部材513およびスペーサ522の向きを遊技板の前面および後面に平行となる向きに設定し易く、遊技釘の交換作業を効率良く実施することができる。特に、遊技板が透過性を有して前面側から後面側が視認可能な場合には、スペーサ522と受け部材513との間に遊技板を挟んだ状態においても、固定ねじ523の位置を確認しつつ縦溝部522aの位置を調整することができ、スペーサ522と受け部材513の向き調整が一層容易となる。
In the receiving member 513, the fixing screw 523 that can confirm the orientation of the inclined surface and the vertical groove portion 522a that is provided on the outer peripheral surface of the spacer 522 and that can confirm the orientation of the inclined surface of the spacer 522 are both used for rotation operation. It is provided on the outer peripheral surface away from the center and is set so as to be easily visible to the operator. Further, in the direction in which the facing inclined surfaces of the receiving member 513 and the spacer 522 are parallel to each other, the same direction side (perpendicular to the paper surface of FIG. 9) with respect to the rotation center axis when adjusting the directions of the receiving member 513 and the spacer 522. The fixing screw 523 of the receiving member 513 and the vertical groove portion 522a of the spacer 522 are disposed on the rear side in the direction. Therefore, for example, when the operator wants to make the state shown in FIG. 9, the worker sets the vertical groove portion in the same direction side (the back side in the direction perpendicular to the paper surface of FIG. 9) with respect to the rotation center axis of the receiving member 513 and the spacer 522. 522a and the fixing screw 523 may be arranged. By this adjustment operation, a portion of the receiving member 513 that is formed high on one side (right side in FIG. 9) of the rotation center axis of the receiving member 513 and the spacer 522 so as to approach the spacer 522 and the receiving member of the spacer 522. A portion far from the spacer 513 is located, and a portion far away from the spacer 522 of the receiving member 513 and a portion of the spacer 522 located on the receiving member 513 side are located on the opposite side (left side in FIG. 9). Therefore, the operator can easily set the orientation of the receiving member 513 and the spacer 522 in parallel with the front surface and the rear surface of the game board by using the vertical groove portion 522a and the fixing screw 523 as a mark, and the game nail replacement work can be efficiently performed. It can be carried out. In particular, if the game board is transparent and the front side can be visually recognized from the front side, the position of the fixing screw 523 can be confirmed even when the game board is sandwiched between the spacer 522 and the receiving member 513. While the position of the vertical groove portion 522a can be adjusted, the orientation of the spacer 522 and the receiving member 513 can be adjusted more easily.
受け部材513が一端側に取り付けられる受け部材取付軸514は、図9に示すように、その反対側の端部が受け側突出部543を貫通するように受け側突出部543の貫通孔より長く形成され、その反対側端部には、受け部固定部材515が設けられている。受け部固定部材515は、中心部に雌ねじが形成された貫通孔を有する円環状に形成され、その外周面が厚み方向に沿った縞状に起伏して形成されて作業者が受け部固定部材515の回動操作時に受け部固定部材515に力を加えやすくされている。作業者は、予め受け部固定部材515をベース部材511から離間する程度に緩めた状態にしてから、固定ねじによって受け部材取付軸514と一体化された受け部材513の傾斜面の向きを遊技板50とベース部材511の位置によって定まる適切な向きに回動操作する。適切な向きに定まった状態とした後に、受け部材取付軸514の反対側の受け部固定部材515をねじ込んで受け側突出部543の外側面に押圧させた状態で当接させると、この当接力によってベース部材511に対して受け部材取付軸514が回動不能とされ、受け部材513がベース部材511に固定された状態とすることができる。
As shown in FIG. 9, the receiving member attachment shaft 514 to which the receiving member 513 is attached to one end side is longer than the through hole of the receiving side projecting portion 543 so that the opposite end thereof penetrates the receiving side projecting portion 543. The receiving portion fixing member 515 is provided at the opposite end. The receiving portion fixing member 515 is formed in an annular shape having a through hole in which a female screw is formed in the central portion, and the outer peripheral surface is formed by undulating in a striped shape along the thickness direction so that the operator can receive the receiving portion fixing member. It is easy to apply a force to the receiving portion fixing member 515 at the time of rotating the 515. The operator loosens the receiving portion fixing member 515 in advance to the extent that the receiving portion fixing member 515 is separated from the base member 511, and then sets the orientation of the inclined surface of the receiving member 513 integrated with the receiving member mounting shaft 514 by the fixing screw. The rotary operation is performed in an appropriate direction determined by the positions of 50 and the base member 511. When the receiving portion fixing member 515 on the opposite side of the receiving member mounting shaft 514 is screwed into and brought into contact with the outer side surface of the receiving side protruding portion 543 in a state of being pressed after having been set in an appropriate direction, this contact force is obtained. By this, the receiving member mounting shaft 514 cannot be rotated with respect to the base member 511, and the receiving member 513 can be fixed to the base member 511.
受け部材取付軸514の中央部分には、軸方向に沿って一方側が開口した穴部613が設けられ、この穴部613が設けられる側が受け部材513側となるようにして受け側突出部543に取り付けられている。この穴部613は、受け部材513の貫通孔に連通し、押出用作動部材562が設けられる側が開口し押出用作動部材562の進行方向側に延びた状態で受け側突出部543に固定される。押出用作動部材562によって遊技板から押し出される折損した遊技釘は、受け部材取付軸514の穴部613の中に入り込んで受け部材取付軸514に受け止められる。
A hole portion 613 having one side opened along the axial direction is provided in the central portion of the receiving member attachment shaft 514, and the receiving side projecting portion 543 is provided such that the side where the hole portion 613 is provided is the receiving member 513 side. It is installed. The hole portion 613 communicates with the through hole of the receiving member 513, is fixed to the receiving-side protruding portion 543 in a state in which the side on which the pushing operation member 562 is provided is open and extends in the advancing direction side of the pushing operation member 562. .. The broken game nail pushed out from the game plate by the pushing operation member 562 enters the hole 613 of the receiving member mounting shaft 514 and is received by the receiving member mounting shaft 514.
ここで、受け部材取付軸514の穴部613は、交換対象となる遊技釘の全長よりも入口から底面までの長さの方が長く設定されることが好ましい。また、受け部材取付軸514の穴部613は、パチンコ機10が設置された状態における遊技板の後面に受け部材の傾斜面が対面して密着するように当接し、押出用作動部材562の移動方向と遊技釘が差し込まれる釘穴の軸方向とを略一致させた場合に、底側となる面が奥側に向けて下降傾斜する形状に形成されることが好ましい。すなわち、遊技板に対して5度上向き傾斜して遊技釘が取り付けられるように遊技板に釘穴が設けられる場合、穴部613の内径の連続する方向は、押出用作動部材562の移動方向と平行とされ、すなわち内径が一定の断面円形としても良く、遊技釘が遊技板に対して傾斜した角度に相当する例えば5度より少ない傾斜角度で次第に奥底側の内径が小さくなる形状とすることが、遊技釘の押し出し操作の際に穴部613の底側となる面が奥側に向けて下降傾斜することとなって好ましい。また、受け部材取付軸514の穴部613の断面は、円形以外の形状としても良いが、断面円形とすることで遊技釘交換具500を遊技釘に対して上下左右のいずれの向きに配置しても、穴部613の底面が一定の角度で下降傾斜することとなって好ましい。また、受け部材取付軸514の穴部613として、押出用作動部材562の進行方向側に相当する奥底側の方が次第に内径が大きく形成されていても良く、この場合には、折損した遊技釘が奥側に一層案内され易いこととなって好ましい。また、穴部613の奥底側は、開口していても良いが、非貫通とされるか、または、貫通した形状の場合に奥底側を閉鎖可能な蓋部材を設けることが、折損した遊技釘が遊技板の後面側に落下し、遊技球の流下を妨害する等の不具合の発生を抑制することができて好ましい。
Here, it is preferable that the hole 613 of the receiving member mounting shaft 514 is set so that the length from the entrance to the bottom is longer than the entire length of the game nail to be replaced. Further, the hole 613 of the receiving member mounting shaft 514 abuts on the rear surface of the game board in a state where the pachinko machine 10 is installed so that the inclined surface of the receiving member faces and closely contacts, and the movement of the pushing operation member 562 is performed. When the direction and the axial direction of the nail hole into which the game nail is inserted are made to substantially coincide with each other, it is preferable that the bottom surface is formed in a shape that is inclined downward toward the back side. That is, when the game board is provided with a nail hole so that the game nail is attached to the game board by inclining upward by 5 degrees, the continuous direction of the inner diameter of the hole portion 613 is the moving direction of the pushing operation member 562. It may be parallel, that is, may have a circular cross-section with a constant inner diameter, and may have a shape in which the inner diameter on the inner side gradually decreases at an inclination angle corresponding to an angle at which the game nail is inclined with respect to the game plate, for example, less than 5 degrees. It is preferable that the bottom surface of the hole portion 613 be inclined downward toward the inner side when the game nail is pushed out. Further, the cross section of the hole 613 of the receiving member mounting shaft 514 may have a shape other than a circular shape, but by making the cross section a circular shape, the game nail exchanging tool 500 is arranged in any of the up, down, left and right directions with respect to the game nail. However, it is preferable that the bottom surface of the hole 613 is inclined downward at a constant angle. Further, as the hole 613 of the receiving member mounting shaft 514, the inner diameter may be gradually increased toward the inner side corresponding to the advancing direction side of the pushing operation member 562, and in this case, the broken gaming nail. Is more easily guided to the back side, which is preferable. The bottom side of the hole 613 may be open, but it is not penetrated, or if a lid member that can close the bottom side in the case of a penetrating shape is provided, it is a broken game nail. Is preferable because it can be prevented from falling to the rear surface side of the game board and preventing a problem such as obstructing the flow of the game ball.
次に、遊技釘交換具500の操作方法について説明する。図12及び図13は、遊技釘交換具500の部材交換の手順を示す説明図である。遊技釘交換具500を使用する作業においては、まず、遊技釘交換具500に取り付けられている作動部材512および先端側支持部材516を確認し、必要があれば、これら部材を他の部材と交換して、作業に適した遊技釘交換具500とする。
Next, a method of operating the game nail changer 500 will be described. 12 and 13 are explanatory views showing the procedure for exchanging members of the game nail exchanging tool 500. In the operation of using the game nail exchanging tool 500, first, the operating member 512 and the tip side support member 516 attached to the game nail exchanging tool 500 are confirmed, and if necessary, these members are exchanged with other members. Then, the game nail exchanging tool 500 suitable for work is obtained.
この作動部材512および先端側支持部材516の交換手順として、押出用支持部材561および押出用作動部材562の組合せを、差込用支持部材571および差込用作動部材572の組合せに交換する手順を例示して説明する。交換に際しては、まず、回動操作部材518に対して固定操作部材519を緩める方向に回動させて、固定操作部材519から回動操作部材518を取り外す(図12(a)参照)。次に、回動操作部材518の開口穴部分を下向きにする等して押出用作動部材562を回動操作部材518から抜き出す(図12(b)参照)。
As a procedure for exchanging the actuating member 512 and the tip side support member 516, a procedure for exchanging a combination of the pushing support member 561 and the pushing actuating member 562 with a combination of the inserting support member 571 and the inserting actuating member 572. An example will be described. At the time of replacement, first, the fixing operation member 519 is rotated with respect to the rotation operation member 518 in a loosening direction, and the rotation operation member 518 is removed from the fixing operation member 519 (see FIG. 12A). Next, the push-out operation member 562 is pulled out from the rotation operation member 518 by making the opening hole portion of the rotation operation member 518 face downward (see FIG. 12B).
押出用作動部材562を抜き出した後は、押出用支持部材561の摘み部586を操作し、操作用凹み部532より、押出用支持部材561を抜き出す(図12(c)参照)。その後、差込用支持部材571、差込用作動部材572をベース部材511に順に取り付け、最後に、固定操作部材519を回動操作部材518の端側から締め付けて、部材交換が完了する(図13参照)。なお、上記した手順を逆にすることで、差込用支持部材571および差込用作動部材572が取り付けられた遊技釘交換具500に対して、これら部材571,572を押出用支持部材561および押出用作動部材562に交換することができる。
After the push-out operation member 562 is pulled out, the knob portion 586 of the push-out support member 561 is operated to pull out the push-out support member 561 from the operation recessed portion 532 (see FIG. 12C). After that, the insertion support member 571 and the insertion operation member 572 are sequentially attached to the base member 511, and finally, the fixing operation member 519 is tightened from the end side of the rotation operation member 518 to complete the member exchange (Fig. 13). In addition, by reversing the above-described procedure, these members 571 and 572 are inserted into the pushing support member 561 and the pushing support member 571 and the pushing operation member 572 with respect to the game nail exchanging tool 500. It can be replaced with the pushing operation member 562.
次に、遊技板50に設けられる遊技釘100が折損した場合において遊技釘交換具500を使用して遊技釘100を交換する手順について、図14から図17を参照して説明する。図14及び図15は、遊技釘交換具500による折損した遊技釘の押し出し操作の説明図であり、図16及び図17は、遊技釘交換具500による遊技釘の差し込み操作の説明図である。なお、図14から図17において、遊技板50および遊技釘100の形状および配置を簡略化して示している。
Next, a procedure for replacing the game nail 100 using the game nail exchanging tool 500 when the game nail 100 provided on the game board 50 is broken will be described with reference to FIGS. 14 to 17. 14 and 15 are explanatory diagrams of the pushing operation of the broken gaming nail by the gaming nail exchanging tool 500, and FIGS. 16 and 17 are explanatory diagrams of the inserting operation of the gaming nail by the gaming nail exchanging tool 500. 14 to 17, the shape and arrangement of the game board 50 and the game nail 100 are shown in a simplified manner.
遊技板50に設けられる遊技釘100が折損した場合には、折損後の遊技釘100を押し出すために遊技釘交換具500として押出用支持部材561と押出用作動部材562を取り付ける。次に、折損した遊技釘100の位置に対応した向きに受け部材513の向きの調整を行う。この説明においては、図14(a)に示すように、ベース部材511が折損した遊技釘100の上側に位置するように遊技釘交換具500を配置して遊技釘100の押し出し操作を行う場合を例示している。この場合、受け部材513の傾斜面は、受け側突出部543の先端側(図14(a)の下側)が作動側突出部542から離間し、受け側突出部543の基端側(図14(a)の上側)が作動側突出部542に近い側に位置する向きに受け部材513を回動して位置合わせし、その位置合わせの後に、受け部固定部材515をねじ込んでベース部材511に対して受け部材513を固定する。
When the game nail 100 provided on the game board 50 is broken, the pushing support member 561 and the pushing operation member 562 are attached as the game nail exchanging device 500 in order to push out the broken game nail 100. Next, the orientation of the receiving member 513 is adjusted to correspond to the position of the broken game nail 100. In this description, as shown in FIG. 14A, a case where the game nail exchanging tool 500 is arranged so that the base member 511 is located above the broken game nail 100 and the game nail 100 is pushed out is described. It is illustrated. In this case, in the inclined surface of the receiving member 513, the tip side of the receiving side protrusion 543 (the lower side of FIG. 14A) is separated from the operating side protrusion 542, and the base end side of the receiving side protrusion 543 (see FIG. 14(a) (upper side of 14(a)) is rotated to align the receiving member 513 in a direction closer to the operating side protrusion 542, and after the alignment, the receiving portion fixing member 515 is screwed into the base member 511. The receiving member 513 is fixed.
受け部材513の固定後、遊技釘交換具500の先端側突出部544の貫通孔に対して押出用支持部材561の先端側部分が僅かに入り込んだ位置となるように、押出用支持部材561の摘み部586を操作し、押出用支持部材561と受け部材513との間の隙間を広く確保する。この場合に、押出用作動部材562の押出先端部581が押出用支持部材561から受け部材513側に突出していても良いが、押出先端部581が受け部材513側から離間する方向側に回動操作部材518を回動操作し、押出先端部581が押出用支持部材561から受け部材513側に突出しないようにしておくことが、押出先端部581の折損や押出先端部581による他の部位の傷付きを防止できて好ましい。
After fixing the receiving member 513, the push-out support member 561 is positioned so that the tip-end side portion of the push-out support member 561 slightly enters the through hole of the tip-side protrusion 544 of the game nail exchanging tool 500. The knob portion 586 is operated to secure a wide gap between the pushing support member 561 and the receiving member 513. In this case, the extruding tip 581 of the extruding operation member 562 may project from the extruding support member 561 toward the receiving member 513, but the extruding tip 581 rotates in the direction away from the receiving member 513. It is necessary to rotate the operation member 518 so that the extrusion tip 581 does not project from the extrusion support member 561 to the receiving member 513 side. Therefore, the extrusion tip 581 may be broken or other portions of the extrusion tip 581 may be damaged. It is preferable because scratches can be prevented.
以上で遊技釘交換具500の単体状態での準備は終わり、次は、遊技釘交換具500の本体部541を把持して、遊技板用凹み部533の間部分、詳細には、受け部材513と押出用支持部材561の先端部585との間に遊技板50が位置するように遊技釘交換具500を移動する。この移動においては、折損した遊技釘100の後側に受け部材513の中心が位置するように遊技釘交換具500を配置する。遊技釘交換具500の配置後には、押出用支持部材561の先端部585と遊技板50との間にスペーサ522を配置し、押出用支持部材561の摘み部586を回動操作して受け部材513側に押出用支持部材561を進行させ、押出用支持部材561の先端部585と受け部材513との間に遊技板50とスペーサ522とが挟まれた状態とする(図14(b)および図15(a)参照)。
With the above, the preparation of the gaming nail exchanging tool 500 in a single state is completed, and next, the main body 541 of the gaming nail exchanging tool 500 is gripped, and the gap between the game board recesses 533, specifically, the receiving member 513. The game nail exchanging tool 500 is moved so that the game board 50 is located between and the tip portion 585 of the pushing support member 561. In this movement, the game nail exchanging tool 500 is arranged such that the center of the receiving member 513 is located on the rear side of the broken game nail 100. After the game nail exchanging tool 500 is arranged, the spacer 522 is arranged between the tip portion 585 of the pushing support member 561 and the game board 50, and the knob portion 586 of the pushing support member 561 is rotated to receive the receiving member. The pushing support member 561 is advanced to the 513 side, and the gaming board 50 and the spacer 522 are sandwiched between the tip end portion 585 of the pushing support member 561 and the receiving member 513 (FIG. 14B and FIG. 15A).
ここで、押出用支持部材561の先端部585と遊技板50との間にスペーサ522を配置するか否かは、折損した遊技釘100の状態に応じて選択することができる。折損した遊技釘100が遊技板50の前面51から突出している場合には、その突出部分にスペーサ522の貫通穴を嵌め込み、スペーサ522内に押出用作動部材562の先端部分が入り込むように回動操作部材518を操作して押出用作動部材562を進行させ、押出用作動部材562がスペーサ522に入り込んだ状態とした後に、押出用支持部材561の摘み部586を回動させて押出用支持部材561と受け部材513との間に、スペーサ522と遊技板50とが挟まれた状態とすることが好ましい。一方、折損した遊技釘100の先端部が遊技板50の前面51より奥側に位置して釘穴52側に凹んだ状態となっている場合には、スペーサ522は使用しないで、釘穴52に押出用作動部材562の先端を位置合わせしても良い。
Here, whether or not to dispose the spacer 522 between the tip portion 585 of the pushing support member 561 and the game plate 50 can be selected according to the state of the broken game nail 100. When the broken game nail 100 is projected from the front surface 51 of the game plate 50, the through hole of the spacer 522 is fitted into the protruding portion, and the tip of the pushing operation member 562 is inserted into the spacer 522. After operating the operating member 518 to advance the operating member 562 for extrusion so that the operating member 562 for extrusion enters the spacer 522, the knob 586 of the supporting member 561 for pushing is rotated to support the member for extrusion. It is preferable that the spacer 522 and the game board 50 are sandwiched between 561 and the receiving member 513. On the other hand, when the tip portion of the broken game nail 100 is located deeper than the front surface 51 of the game plate 50 and is recessed toward the nail hole 52 side, the spacer 522 is not used and the nail hole 52 is not used. Alternatively, the tip of the pushing operation member 562 may be aligned.
その後、回動操作部材518を回動操作して押出用作動部材562を進行させると、その先端が折損した遊技釘100に当接する。更に、回動操作部材518を回動し続けると、図14(c)に示すように、回動操作部材518がベース部材511に当接して、それ以上の回動が不能となる。この状態では、図15(b)に示すように、押出用作動部材562の先端が遊技板50の後面側に突出する位置まで進行し、折損した遊技釘100は、遊技板50から押し出され、受け部材取付軸514の穴部613に入り込む。
After that, when the turning operation member 518 is turned to move the pushing operation member 562, the tip of the pushing operation member 562 comes into contact with the broken game nail 100. Further, if the rotation operating member 518 continues to rotate, as shown in FIG. 14C, the rotation operating member 518 contacts the base member 511, and further rotation is impossible. In this state, as shown in FIG. 15(b), the tip of the pushing operation member 562 advances to a position where it projects to the rear surface side of the game board 50, and the broken game nail 100 is pushed out from the game board 50, It is inserted into the hole 613 of the receiving member mounting shaft 514.
受け部材取付軸514の穴部613は、図15(b)に示すように、受け部材513の貫通孔に連通し、受け部材513の傾斜面が遊技板50の後面に密着した状態において、底面側が下方に位置するように傾斜した内面形状とされている。このため、折損した遊技釘100は、遊技板50から押し出された後に、穴部613の奥側へ入り込み易く、折損した遊技釘100が遊技板50の後面側へ落下することを抑制することができる。
As shown in FIG. 15B, the hole portion 613 of the receiving member mounting shaft 514 communicates with the through hole of the receiving member 513, and the bottom surface in the state where the inclined surface of the receiving member 513 is in close contact with the rear surface of the game board 50. The inner surface is inclined so that the side is located below. Therefore, the broken game nail 100 is easily pushed into the back side of the hole 613 after being pushed out from the game board 50, and the broken game nail 100 can be prevented from falling to the rear surface side of the game board 50. it can.
折損した遊技釘100が遊技板50から押し出された後は、回動操作部材518を逆方向に回して、押出用作動部材562を受け部材513から離間する方向側に後退させる。遊技板50の前面51から押出用作動部材562の先端が抜け出した後には、押出用支持部材561の摘み部586を操作して押出用支持部材561を後退させ、遊技板50と押出用支持部材561との間にスペーサ522が配置されている場合には、スペーサ522を取り外す。以上の操作により、遊技板50に対して遊技釘交換具500の移動が可能となり、遊技釘交換具500を遊技板50から取り外すことができる。
After the broken game nail 100 is pushed out from the game plate 50, the turning operation member 518 is rotated in the reverse direction, and the pushing operation member 562 is retracted in the direction away from the receiving member 513. After the tip of the pushing operation member 562 has come out from the front surface 51 of the game board 50, the knob portion 586 of the pushing support member 561 is operated to retract the pushing support member 561, and the gaming board 50 and the pushing support member. When the spacer 522 is arranged between the spacer 522 and 561, the spacer 522 is removed. By the above operation, the game nail exchanging tool 500 can be moved with respect to the game board 50, and the game nail exchanging tool 500 can be removed from the game board 50.
なお、折損した遊技釘100は必ずしも遊技板50の前面51側から後面側へ押し出す必要はなく、遊技板50の後面側に押出用作動部材562が位置し、遊技板50の前面51側に受け部材513が位置する向きに遊技釘交換具500を配置して、折損した遊技釘100を取り外しても良い。遊技釘100が極度に曲がって変形している場合等、遊技板50の後面側から前面51側に遊技釘100を取り外した方が遊技板50の釘穴52が削れることが少なくて好ましい場合がある。遊技釘100の状況に応じて釘穴52が削れ難い遊技釘100の押し出し方向を作業者は選択することができ、遊技釘交換具500を使用して、いずれの側からでも折損した遊技釘100を遊技板50から取り除くことができる。
The broken game nail 100 does not necessarily have to be pushed out from the front surface 51 side of the game board 50 to the rear surface side, and the pushing operation member 562 is located on the rear surface side of the game board 50 and received on the front surface 51 side of the game board 50. The game nail exchange tool 500 may be arranged in the direction in which the member 513 is located, and the broken game nail 100 may be removed. When the game nail 100 is bent and deformed extremely, it may be preferable to remove the game nail 100 from the rear surface side of the game board 50 to the front surface 51 side because the nail hole 52 of the game board 50 is less likely to be shaved. is there. According to the situation of the game nail 100, the operator can select the pushing direction of the game nail 100 in which the nail hole 52 is difficult to be cut, and the game nail exchanging tool 500 is used to break the game nail 100 from any side. Can be removed from the game board 50.
次に、遊技釘100の差し込み操作について説明する。折損した遊技釘100を遊技板50から除去した後には、遊技釘交換具500を使用して、新たな遊技釘100を差し込む差し込み操作を行う。まず、押出用支持部材561と押出用作動部材562を取り外して、差込用支持部材571および差込用作動部材572に交換する。その後、上記した遊技釘100の押し出し操作と同様に、受け部材513の向き調整及び固定を行う。ただし、押し出し操作にて受け部材513の向きを固定しておけば、その向きで差し込み操作も通常行うことができるので、この調整及び固定操作は必ずしも行わなくても良い。その後、遊技釘交換具500の先端側突出部544の貫通孔に対して差込用支持部材571の先端側部分が僅かに入り込んだ位置となるように、差込用支持部材571の摘み部596を操作し、差込用支持部材571と受け部材513との間の隙間を広く確保する(図16(a)参照)。
Next, the insertion operation of the game nail 100 will be described. After removing the broken game nail 100 from the game board 50, using the game nail exchanging tool 500, a inserting operation for inserting a new game nail 100 is performed. First, the push-out support member 561 and the push-out operation member 562 are removed and replaced with the insertion support member 571 and the insertion operation member 572. Then, similarly to the pushing operation of the game nail 100 described above, the orientation and fixing of the receiving member 513 are performed. However, if the direction of the receiving member 513 is fixed by the push-out operation, the inserting operation can also be normally performed in that direction, so this adjustment and fixing operation need not necessarily be performed. After that, the grip portion 596 of the insertion support member 571 is positioned so that the distal end side portion of the insertion support member 571 slightly enters the through hole of the distal end side protrusion 544 of the gaming nail changer 500. Is operated to secure a wide gap between the insertion support member 571 and the receiving member 513 (see FIG. 16A).
そして、ベース部材511の本体部541を把持して、受け部材513と差込用支持部材571の先端部595との間に遊技板50が位置するように遊技釘交換具500を移動し、遊技釘100が除去された釘穴52の後側に受け部材513の中心が位置するように遊技釘交換具500を配置する。この遊技釘交換具500の配置後には、差込用支持部材571を受け部材513側へ進行するように摘み部596を操作する。差込用支持部材571を受け部材513側へ進行させた後には、差込用支持部材571の貫通溝599(図11(c)参照)を通じて新しい遊技釘100を差込用支持部材571の貫通孔内に配置する。このとき、差込用支持部材571の貫通溝599が下側に開口していると、遊技釘100が落下しやすくなって貫通孔内に配置し難いため、貫通溝599は、横向き又は上向きに開口するように差込用支持部材571の向きを調整した後に、遊技釘100を貫通孔内に配置する(図16(b)および図17(a)参照)。なお、遊技板50に対する遊技釘交換具500の位置合わせの前に差込用支持部材571の貫通孔内に新しい遊技釘100を挿入しておいても良いが、この場合には、先端側突出部544に対して差込用支持部材571を回動操作する際には、遊技釘100の先端側を摘んで支えておく等して遊技釘100が落下しないようにする。
Then, the main body portion 541 of the base member 511 is gripped, and the game nail exchanging tool 500 is moved so that the game board 50 is located between the receiving member 513 and the tip end portion 595 of the insertion support member 571, and the game is played. The game nail exchanging tool 500 is arranged so that the center of the receiving member 513 is located behind the nail hole 52 from which the nail 100 has been removed. After arranging the game nail exchanging tool 500, the knob portion 596 is operated so as to proceed to the receiving member 513 side of the inserting support member 571. After advancing the insertion support member 571 to the receiving member 513 side, a new game nail 100 is penetrated through the insertion support member 571 through the through groove 599 (see FIG. 11C) of the insertion support member 571. Place in the hole. At this time, if the through-groove 599 of the insertion support member 571 is opened downward, the game nail 100 easily falls and is difficult to arrange in the through-hole, so the through-groove 599 is directed sideways or upward. After adjusting the orientation of the insertion support member 571 so as to be opened, the game nail 100 is arranged in the through hole (see FIGS. 16B and 17A). It should be noted that a new game nail 100 may be inserted into the through hole of the insertion support member 571 before aligning the game nail exchanging tool 500 with the game plate 50, but in this case, the tip side protrusion When the insertion support member 571 is rotated with respect to the portion 544, the tip side of the game nail 100 is pinched and supported to prevent the game nail 100 from falling.
その後、回動操作部材518を回動操作して差込用作動部材572を進行させると、その先端が遊技釘100の頭部102に当接する。更に、回動操作部材518を回動し続けると、図16(c)に示すように、回動操作部材518がベース部材511に当接して、それ以上の回動が不能となる。この状態においては、図17(b)に示すように、遊技釘100が他の遊技釘100と略同一の深さまで遊技板50に差し込まれる。
After that, when the turning operation member 518 is turned to advance the insertion actuating member 572, the tip end thereof comes into contact with the head 102 of the game nail 100. Further, if the rotation operating member 518 continues to rotate, as shown in FIG. 16C, the rotation operating member 518 comes into contact with the base member 511, and further rotation is impossible. In this state, as shown in FIG. 17B, the game nail 100 is inserted into the game board 50 to a depth substantially the same as the other game nails 100.
遊技釘100が遊技板50に差し込まれた後には、回動操作部材518を逆方向に回して、差込用作動部材572を受け部材513から離間する方向側に後退させる。その後、新たに差し込まれた遊技釘100が貫通溝599を通じて差込用支持部材571の外側に抜け出すように、遊技釘交換具500を移動する。このとき、図17(b)に示すように、遊技釘100の頭部102が差込用支持部材571の基端側支持孔598における先端側孔597側の端面に近づきすぎている場合は、差込用支持部材571の摘み部596を操作して差込用支持部材571が遊技板50に近づく方向側に移動させてから、遊技釘100を差込用支持部材571の外側に抜き出す。逆に、遊技釘100の頭部102が差込用支持部材571の基端側支持孔598における先端側孔597側の端面から離れている場合には、遊技板50から離間する方向側に差込用支持部材571を移動させてから、遊技釘100を差込用支持部材571の外側に抜き出す。
After the game nail 100 is inserted into the game plate 50, the rotation operation member 518 is rotated in the reverse direction to retract the insertion operation member 572 in the direction away from the receiving member 513. After that, the game nail exchanging tool 500 is moved so that the newly inserted game nail 100 comes out of the insertion support member 571 through the through groove 599. At this time, as shown in FIG. 17B, when the head 102 of the game nail 100 is too close to the end surface on the tip end side hole 597 side of the base end side support hole 598 of the insertion support member 571, After operating the knob 596 of the insertion support member 571 to move the insertion support member 571 toward the game plate 50, the game nail 100 is pulled out to the outside of the insertion support member 571. On the other hand, when the head 102 of the game nail 100 is separated from the end surface on the tip end side hole 597 side of the base end side support hole 598 of the insertion support member 571, it is inserted in the direction away from the game plate 50. After moving the insertion support member 571, the game nail 100 is pulled out to the outside of the insertion support member 571.
遊技釘100を差込用支持部材571から抜け出させた後には、遊技板50に対して遊技釘交換具500の移動が容易となり、遊技釘交換具500を遊技板50から取り外すことができる。以上の操作により、遊技釘100の交換が完了する。
After the game nail 100 is pulled out from the insertion support member 571, the game nail exchanging tool 500 can be easily moved with respect to the game board 50, and the game nail exchanging tool 500 can be removed from the game board 50. With the above operation, the replacement of the game nail 100 is completed.
次に、遊技釘交換具500を遊技板50に対して配置する方法について、図18を参照して説明する。図18は、センター装飾部材22を取り外した遊技盤20に対して遊技釘交換具500を配置した状態を示す正面図である。
Next, a method of arranging the game nail changer 500 with respect to the game board 50 will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 18 is a front view showing a state in which the game nail exchange tool 500 is arranged on the game board 20 from which the center decoration member 22 is removed.
遊技盤20の中央部に設けられるセンター装飾部材22は、遊技盤20の前側から取付固定されていることが好ましく、この取付固定されたセンター装飾部材を取り外すと、遊技板50の中央部に形成される開口50aが前側から視認可能に露出される。この開口50aを通じて、遊技釘交換具500の遊技板用凹み部533内に、遊技板50が入り込むように配置することで、図18に例示するように、開口の上下左右に配置される多数の遊技釘100に対して遊技釘交換具500の回動操作部材518の中心部を位置させ、遊技釘100の交換作業を行うことができる。このため、パチンコ機10が遊技場に設置された状態のままで遊技盤20を取り外すことなく、遊技釘の交換作業を行うことができる。
The center decoration member 22 provided in the central portion of the game board 20 is preferably attached and fixed from the front side of the game board 20, and when the attached and fixed center decoration member is removed, it is formed in the central portion of the game board 50. The exposed opening 50a is visibly exposed from the front side. By arranging the game board 50 so as to enter into the game board recess 533 of the game nail exchanging tool 500 through the opening 50a, a large number of top, bottom, left and right sides of the opening are arranged as illustrated in FIG. The center portion of the rotation operation member 518 of the game nail exchanging tool 500 can be positioned with respect to the game nail 100 to perform the exchanging work of the game nail 100. Therefore, the game nail can be replaced without removing the game board 20 while the pachinko machine 10 is installed in the game hall.
この交換作業においては、受け部材513の向きを調整する必要があり、ベース部材511が交換の対象となる遊技釘100の上側に位置する場合には、上記説明にて例示した向きに受け部材513を固定する。ベース部材511が交換の対象となる遊技釘100に対して左右のいずれかに位置する場合、または、下側に位置する場合のそれぞれにおいては、上記説明した角度に対して90度または180度回動させた位置に受け部材513を固定し、作動部材512と釘穴52とが同軸上に位置し、受け部材513の傾斜面が遊技板50の後面に平行に当接するように受け部材513の向きを調整する。
In this replacement work, it is necessary to adjust the orientation of the receiving member 513, and when the base member 511 is located above the gaming nail 100 to be replaced, the receiving member 513 has the orientation illustrated in the above description. To fix. When the base member 511 is located on either the left or right side of the game nail 100 to be replaced, or is located on the lower side, 90 degrees or 180 degrees with respect to the above-described angle. The receiving member 513 is fixed to the moved position, the actuating member 512 and the nail hole 52 are located on the same axis, and the inclined surface of the receiving member 513 is in contact with the rear surface of the game board 50 in parallel. Adjust the orientation.
なお、遊技釘交換具500は、遊技釘100に対して上下左右のいずれかの方向にベース部材511が位置する方向に必ずしも配置する必要はない。遊技釘100に対して斜め方向側にベース部材511が位置する方向に配置しても良く、この場合にも、その方向において作動部材512と釘穴52とが同軸上に位置し、受け部材513の傾斜面が遊技板50の後面に平行に当接するように受け部材513の向きを調整すれば良い。また、遊技釘100の間隔が狭く配置されている場合には、上記した先端側支持部材516やスペーサ522より外形を細軸としたものを準備し、また、遊技板用凹み部533の深さも、交換作業が必要とされる遊技釘の位置に対応した更に大きなベース部材を準備しても良く、又は遊技盤20をパチンコ機10から取り外して、遊技盤20の外周側から遊技釘交換具500の遊技板用凹み部533内に遊技板50を配置して、遊技釘の交換作業を行っても良い。
The game nail exchanging tool 500 does not necessarily have to be arranged in the direction in which the base member 511 is located in any of the up, down, left, and right directions with respect to the game nail 100. The base member 511 may be arranged in a direction in which the base member 511 is located on the diagonal side with respect to the game nail 100. In this case as well, the actuating member 512 and the nail hole 52 are located coaxially in that direction, and the receiving member 513. The orientation of the receiving member 513 may be adjusted so that the inclined surface of the contact plate contacts the rear surface of the game board 50 in parallel. Further, in the case where the game nails 100 are arranged at a narrow interval, those having a thin shaft as the outer shape than the above-mentioned tip side support member 516 and the spacer 522 are prepared, and the depth of the game board recessed portion 533 is also set. , A larger base member corresponding to the position of the game nail that needs to be replaced may be prepared, or the game board 20 is removed from the pachinko machine 10 and the game nail changer 500 is mounted from the outer peripheral side of the game board 20. The game board 50 may be arranged in the game board recessed portion 533 to perform the game nail replacement work.
以上説明したように、遊技釘交換具500によれば、押出用作動部材562によって折損した遊技釘100を遊技板50から除去し、差込用作動部材572によって新たな遊技釘100を遊技板50に差し込み固定することができる。すなわち、遊技釘の交換作業に適した工具として、遊技釘交換具500を使用することができる。
As described above, according to the game nail exchanging tool 500, the game nail 100 broken by the pushing operation member 562 is removed from the game plate 50, and the new game nail 100 is inserted by the inserting operation member 572. It can be inserted and fixed in. That is, the game nail exchanging tool 500 can be used as a tool suitable for exchanging game nails.
また、受け部材513において遊技板50に当接する受け部としての傾斜面は、作動部材512の移動方向に対して傾斜して形成され、また、作動部材512の移動方向に相当する作動部材512の中心軸を軸として回動操作可能に設けられている。このため、遊技板50が配置される作動側突出部542側を向く受け部材513の傾斜面によって、受け側突出部543に近い側に位置する低い部位513bと、低い部位513bより受け側突出部543から離間した側に位置する高い部位513aとが形成される。そして、受け部材513の低い部位513bと高い部位513aとの両方に遊技板50の後面を当接させた場合には、遊技板50の後面が作動部材512の移動方向に対して傾斜した状態で遊技板50に受け部材513が当接することとなる。よって、作動部材512としての押出用作動部材562および差込用作動部材572が遊技釘100に当接して遊技釘100を移動させる程度に大きな押圧力が作用しても、遊技板50の後面に対して傾斜した遊技釘100の軸方向に沿って作動部材512が進行し易いものとなる。また、受け部材513を回動操作して傾斜面の向きを変更することで、遊技釘交換具500(ベース部材511)を作業者が作業し易い方向側から遊技釘100に近づけて遊技釘100の交換作業を行うことができる。したがって、遊技釘100の交換作業に不慣れな作業者でも、比較的容易に遊技釘100の交換を行うことができる。
In addition, the inclined surface of the receiving member 513 as the receiving portion that abuts the game plate 50 is formed to be inclined with respect to the moving direction of the operating member 512, and the operating member 512 corresponding to the moving direction of the operating member 512 is formed. It is rotatably provided around the central axis. Therefore, due to the inclined surface of the receiving member 513 facing the operating side protruding portion 542 side where the game board 50 is arranged, the lower portion 513b located closer to the receiving side protruding portion 543 and the receiving side protruding portion than the lower portion 513b. A high portion 513a located on the side separated from 543 is formed. Then, when the rear surface of the game plate 50 is brought into contact with both the low portion 513b and the high portion 513a of the receiving member 513, the rear surface of the game plate 50 is inclined with respect to the moving direction of the operating member 512. The receiving member 513 comes into contact with the game board 50. Therefore, even if the pushing operation member 562 as the operation member 512 and the insertion operation member 572 come into contact with the game nail 100 and a large pressing force acts to move the game nail 100, the rear surface of the game board 50 is affected. The actuating member 512 easily advances along the axial direction of the game nail 100 that is inclined with respect to it. Further, by rotating the receiving member 513 to change the direction of the inclined surface, the game nail exchanging tool 500 (base member 511) is brought closer to the game nail 100 from the side where the operator can easily work, and the game nail 100 is moved. Can be replaced. Therefore, even an operator unfamiliar with the game nail 100 replacement operation can relatively easily replace the game nail 100.
スペーサ522における受け部材513側を向く一端面は、遊技板50の前面51に対して遊技釘100が傾斜して設けられる分、スペーサ522の貫通孔に対して傾斜して設けられ、この傾斜した角度は、受け部材513の傾斜面における作動部材512の中心軸に対する傾斜角度に一致する。そして、先端側突出部544に近い側に位置する近接部位(図9のスペーサ522の下側端面における右側部分)と、この近接部位より先端側突出部544から離間した側に位置する離間部位(図9のスペーサ522の下側端面における左側部分)とがスペーサ522の一端面に形成される。これらスペーサ522の近接部位および離間部位は、受け部材513の低い部位と高い部位との両方に遊技板50の後面を当接させた場合に、遊技板50の前面51にいずれも当接可能な相対位置に設定されている。よって、スペーサ522と受け部材513を遊技板50の前面51側および後面側に密着した状態とすることで、作動部材512の移動方向を遊技釘の軸方向に沿って傾斜させた向きに遊技釘交換具を設置しやすくすることができ、遊技釘の交換作業を効率良く実施することができる。
One end face of the spacer 522 facing the receiving member 513 side is provided to be inclined with respect to the through hole of the spacer 522 because the game nail 100 is provided to be inclined with respect to the front face 51 of the game plate 50. The angle corresponds to the inclination angle of the inclined surface of the receiving member 513 with respect to the central axis of the actuating member 512. Then, a proximity portion (a right side portion on the lower end surface of the spacer 522 in FIG. 9) located on the side closer to the tip-side protruding portion 544 and a separation portion (a portion located on the side separated from the tip-side protruding portion 544 from the proximity portion ( The left side portion of the lower end surface of the spacer 522 in FIG. 9) is formed on one end surface of the spacer 522. When the rear surface of the game board 50 is brought into contact with both the low portion and the high portion of the receiving member 513, the proximity portion and the separated portion of the spacers 522 can both come into contact with the front surface 51 of the game plate 50. It is set to the relative position. Therefore, by placing the spacer 522 and the receiving member 513 in close contact with the front surface 51 side and the rear surface side of the game plate 50, the moving direction of the actuating member 512 is tilted along the axial direction of the game nail. The exchanging tool can be easily installed, and the exchanging work of the game nail can be efficiently performed.
差込用支持部材571には、差込用作動部材572の軸方向に沿って貫通形成された先端側孔597および基端側支持孔598に対して、差込用作動部材572の移動方向に垂直に交差する一方側に貫通形成された遊技釘を取り出し可能な貫通溝599が設けられている。この差込用支持部材571は、ベース部材511の第1支持部に対して差込用作動部材572の移動方向を軸として回動操作可能に取り付けられている。このため、先端側孔597および基端側支持孔598によって遊技釘100の周囲を支持させて安定した状態の遊技釘100に対して差込用作動部材572の押圧力を付与することができ、遊技釘100を遊技板50に確実に差し込み固定することができる。また、その固定後には、貫通溝を利用して遊技釘100の軸方向に交差する方向側に差込用支持部材571を移動するだけで遊技釘交換具500を遊技板50から簡易に取り外すことができる。よって、遊技釘交換具500の取り外し時における遊技板50の傷付きを防止することができる。
The insertion support member 571 has a distal end side hole 597 and a base end side support hole 598 which are formed through the insertion operation member 572 in the axial direction, in the moving direction of the insertion operation member 572. A penetrating groove 599 through which a game nail formed penetratingly formed on one side perpendicularly intersecting can be taken out is provided. The insertion support member 571 is attached to the first support portion of the base member 511 so as to be rotatable about the movement direction of the insertion operation member 572. Therefore, the tip end side hole 597 and the base end side support hole 598 can support the periphery of the game nail 100 and apply the pressing force of the inserting operation member 572 to the game nail 100 in a stable state. The game nail 100 can be securely inserted and fixed to the game board 50. Further, after the fixing, the gaming nail exchanging tool 500 can be easily removed from the gaming board 50 by simply moving the insertion support member 571 to the side crossing the axial direction of the gaming nail 100 using the through groove. You can Therefore, it is possible to prevent the game board 50 from being scratched when the game nail changer 500 is removed.
作動部材512としての押出用作動部材562および差込用作動部材572は、その移動方向に沿った先端側が先端側支持部材516としての押出用支持部材561または差込用支持部材571によって支持され、その支持部分から操作用凹み部532を隔てて離間した位置にて作動部材512の基端側が基端側支持部材517によって支持されている。このため、押し出し操作と差し込み操作とのそれぞれに対応した別々の支持部材を小型に形成して製造コストを低減しつつ、作動部材512が支持される進行方向に沿った区間を長く設定することで作動部材512を進行方向に沿って移動し易く構成して、遊技釘100の交換を効率良く行うことができる。
The push-out operating member 562 as the operating member 512 and the inserting operating member 572 are supported by the push-out supporting member 561 or the inserting supporting member 571 as the tip-side supporting member 516 on the tip side along the moving direction thereof. The base end side of the operating member 512 is supported by the base end side support member 517 at a position separated from the support portion by the operation recessed portion 532. Therefore, by separately forming separate supporting members corresponding to the pushing operation and the inserting operation to reduce the manufacturing cost, the length of the section along the traveling direction in which the operating member 512 is supported is set to be long. The operating member 512 can be easily moved along the traveling direction, and the game nail 100 can be efficiently replaced.
押出用支持部材561および差込用支持部材571の摘み部586,596の外形は、ベース部材511の先端側突出部544の貫通孔より大径に形成されている。このため、摘み部586,596が先端側突出部544に当接する位置までが押出用支持部材561および差込用支持部材571における作動部材512の進行方向に沿った移動可能範囲とされ、その先側への押出用支持部材561および差込用支持部材571の移動不能となる。よって、作業者が不用意に押出用支持部材561または差込用支持部材571を操作して遊技板50側に押出用支持部材561および差込用支持部材571に突出させてしまうことがなく、遊技板50の傷付きを防止することができる。
The outer shapes of the knob portions 586 and 596 of the pushing support member 561 and the insertion support member 571 are formed to have a diameter larger than that of the through hole of the tip side protrusion 544 of the base member 511. Therefore, up to the position where the knobs 586, 596 abut the tip-side protrusion 544 is the movable range along the traveling direction of the operating member 512 in the pushing support member 561 and the insertion support member 571, and beyond that. The pushing support member 561 and the insertion support member 571 cannot move to the side. Therefore, an operator does not inadvertently operate the pushing support member 561 or the insertion support member 571 to cause the pushing support member 561 and the insertion support member 571 to project toward the game board 50 side, It is possible to prevent the game board 50 from being scratched.
また、作動部材512を進行させるために回動操作される回動操作部材518および基端側支持部材517が一体化された部材とは離間した位置にて、押出用支持部材561および差込用支持部材571によって作動部材512が支持されている。そして、押出用支持部材561および差込用支持部材571と、基端側支持部材517および回動操作部材518が一体化された部材とは、共に、受け部材513から離間した側から受け部材513に近づく方向側にねじ込み操作をすることで、ベース部材511に取り付けられている。このため、回動操作部材518に対する回動操作によって作動部材512を進行させた際に、作動部材512との摩擦抵抗によって押出用支持部材561および差込用支持部材571が回動し、それら支持部材561,571が作動部材512の軸方向に沿って移動しまう可能性も考えられる。しかしながら、上記したように、押出用支持部材561および差込用支持部材571は、摘み部586,596によって一定以上の移動が阻止されるため、円滑に遊技釘100の交換作業を行うことができる。
Further, the pushing support member 561 and the insertion support member 561 are inserted at a position separated from the member in which the rotation operation member 518 and the base end side support member 517 that are rotated to advance the operation member 512 are integrated. The operating member 512 is supported by the supporting member 571. Then, the pushing support member 561 and the insertion support member 571, and the member in which the base end side support member 517 and the rotation operation member 518 are integrated together, are both receiving members 513 from the side separated from the receiving member 513. It is attached to the base member 511 by performing a screwing operation in the direction approaching. Therefore, when the actuation member 512 is advanced by the turning operation of the turning operation member 518, the pushing support member 561 and the insertion support member 571 are turned by the frictional resistance with the actuation member 512, and they are supported. The members 561 and 571 may move along the axial direction of the actuating member 512. However, as described above, the pushing support member 561 and the insertion support member 571 are prevented from moving beyond a certain amount by the knobs 586 and 596, so that the game nail 100 can be smoothly replaced. ..

It is preferable to be provided at a position where
受け部材513の向きの調整は、必ずしもベース部材511に取り付けられた状態のままでの回動操作により行うものとする必要はなく、受け部材513を作動部材512側に取り外し、受け部材513が取り外された状態で受け部材513の向きを調整してから、受け部材513をベース部材511に取り付けても良い。受け部材513の構成は上記実施形態における取り付け固定構造に限らず、他の構造を用いても良い。
The adjustment of the orientation of the receiving member 513 does not necessarily have to be performed by the rotating operation while being attached to the base member 511. The receiving member 513 is removed to the operating member 512 side, and the receiving member 513 is removed. The receiving member 513 may be attached to the base member 511 after the orientation of the receiving member 513 is adjusted in the closed state. The structure of the receiving member 513 is not limited to the mounting and fixing structure in the above embodiment, and other structures may be used.
上記実施形態における遊技釘交換具500においては、縦溝部522aおよび固定ねじ523を目印にして受け部材513およびスペーサ522の向きを遊技板の前面および後面に平行となる向きに設定し易く構成したが、この目印とする部位の形状は、上記形態に限らず、点形状、線形状、記号等のいずれの形状であっても良いし、突出または凹んだ部材の形状で形成する場合に限らず、塗装、印刷等により描いた目印であっても良い。また、目印とする部位の数は、必ずしも1カ所とする必要はなく、受け部材513およびスペーサ522の回動中心軸を中心として一定角度ずつ離間した2カ所以上の複数箇所としても良い。この場合には、受け部材513の傾斜面とスペーサ522の傾斜面とが平行とされた場合に受け部材513およびスペーサ522の回動中心軸に対して同一方向側となる位置側に設けられる目印が対応していることが分かりやすいように、丸印や四角印等の記号を一致させたり、各方向側毎に異なる数字であって同一方向側となる位置側の数字が同一となるようにすることが好ましい。
In the game nail exchanging tool 500 in the above-described embodiment, the vertical groove portion 522a and the fixing screw 523 are used as marks to easily set the orientations of the receiving member 513 and the spacer 522 to be parallel to the front surface and the rear surface of the game board.

上記実施形態における遊技釘交換具500は、固定ねじにより複数部品が一体化されたり、接着または接合により一体化される等していたが、部品構成としては必ずしも上記した構成とする必要はない。基端側支持部材517と回動操作部材518とを一体部品として形成しても良いし、回動操作部材518と押出用作動部材562又は差込用作動部材572とを一体部品として形成しても良い。この場合、押出用作動部材562又は差込用作動部材572と回動操作部材518とが別々に形成され、ハンドル部552を通じた回動操作に対して、押出用作動部材562又は差込用作動部材572が連動せず、回動することなく直進可能とされると、遊技釘に回動方向への力が伝達されないために好ましい。一方、回動操作部材518と差込用作動部材572を一体部品とする場合には、差込用作動部材572が進行する場合に必ず回動することとなるが、その回動方向に沿って差し込み操作の対象となる新しい遊技釘が回動した場合に遊技釘が遊技板内に進行するように遊技釘の保持部のねじ形状を設定する、すなわち、差込用作動部材572を進行させる雄ねじ部分と、遊技釘の保持部のねじ形状を共に右ねじ、又は、左ねじで一致させると、遊技釘が遊技板に差し込まれやすくすると共に、遊技釘の頭部の傷付きを防止することができ、見栄えを向上することができて好ましい。
Although the gaming nail exchanging tool 500 in the above-described embodiment has a plurality of parts integrated by a fixing screw or integrated by bonding or joining, the parts configuration does not necessarily have to be the above-described configuration. The base end side support member 517 and the rotation operation member 518 may be formed as an integral part, or the rotation operation member 518 and the pushing operation member 562 or the insertion operation member 572 may be formed as an integral part. Is also good. In this case, the pushing operation member 562 or the inserting operation member 572 and the turning operation member 518 are separately formed, and the pushing operation member 562 or the inserting operation is performed with respect to the turning operation through the handle portion 552. It is preferable that the member 572 is not interlocked and can be moved straight without rotating so that the force in the rotating direction is not transmitted to the game nail. On the other hand, when the rotating operation member 518 and the inserting operation member 572 are formed as an integral part, the inserting operation member 572 always rotates when the inserting operation member 572 advances, but along the rotation direction. The thread shape of the holding portion of the game nail is set so that the game nail advances into the game board when the new game nail to be inserted is rotated, that is, the male screw for advancing the inserting operation member 572. If the screw shape of the part and the holding portion of the game nail are matched with the right screw or the left screw, the game nail can be easily inserted into the game plate and the head of the game nail can be prevented from being scratched. It is preferable because it is possible to improve the appearance.
また、遊技釘が遊技板内に進行するように遊技釘の保持部のねじ形状を設定する場合に、遊技釘と共に差込用作動部材572が回動し易くして、遊技釘の頭部の傷付きを防止するために、遊技釘の頭部の形状(上記実施形態における球面形状)と差込用作動部材572における遊技釘と接触する先端面の形状とを略同一に形成しても良く、接触部分の圧力の分散によって傷付きや削れを抑制することができる。また、遊技釘の回動に伴って差込用作動部材572が回動し易いように、ボールベアリング等の軸受けによって差込用作動部材572の周面を支持して回動し易くしたり、固定操作部材519と差込用作動部材572との当接部を差込用作動部材572の中心軸部のみとなるように、固定操作部材519と差込用作動部材572との対向面の少なくとも一方側を例えば円錐状等で突出する形状とする等しても良く、この場合にも差込用作動部材572と遊技釘の頭部との擦れを抑制することができて好ましい。
Further, when the screw shape of the holding portion of the game nail is set so that the game nail advances into the game plate, the inserting operation member 572 is easily rotated together with the game nail, and the head of the game nail is fixed. In order to prevent scratches, the shape of the head of the game nail (spherical shape in the above embodiment) and the shape of the tip surface of the insertion actuating member 572 that contacts the game nail may be formed to be substantially the same. The damage and scraping can be suppressed by dispersing the pressure of the contact portion. Further, in order that the insertion actuating member 572 may be easily rotated with the rotation of the game nail, the peripheral surface of the insertion actuating member 572 may be supported by a bearing such as a ball bearing to facilitate the rotation, At least the opposing surfaces of the fixed operation member 519 and the insertion operation member 572 are such that the contact portion between the fixed operation member 519 and the insertion operation member 572 is only the central shaft portion of the insertion operation member 572. For example, one side may be formed in a conical shape or the like so as to project, and in this case as well, it is possible to suppress rubbing between the insertion operation member 572 and the head of the game nail, which is preferable.
また、スペーサ522は、必ずしも、押出用支持部材561に対して分離した別部品として設ける必要はなく、スペーサにおける押出用支持部材に当接する面側に貫通孔を中心として円柱状に突出する突部を形成し、押出用支持部材側には、その突部を圧入可能な大きさの穴部を形成して、押出用支持部材に対して貫通孔を中心に回動可能にスペーサを圧入固定する構成としても良い。スペーサ522は、押出用支持部材561に対して一体化可能に構成しても良く、例えば、スペーサ522と押出用支持部材561の接触部分に接着剤を塗布してスペーサ522が押出用支持部材561に対して接合されるようにしても良い。この場合には、スペーサ522が押出用支持部材561に対して少量でも移動可能に一体化されるよう、粘性を有する接着層が形成される接着剤で接合することが好ましく、受け部材513の傾斜面とスペーサ522の傾斜面とがずれている場合に、スペーサ522が押出用支持部材561に対して移動または回動してそれらが平行に近づきやすく、遊技釘の交換作業を実施し易くすることができる。
In addition, the spacer 522 does not necessarily have to be provided as a separate component separated from the pushing support member 561, and a protrusion protruding in a cylindrical shape around the through hole on the surface side of the spacer that contacts the pushing support member. The protrusion supporting member is formed with a hole having a size capable of press-fitting the protrusion, and the spacer is press-fitted and fixed to the push-out supporting member so as to be rotatable around the through hole. It may be configured. The spacer 522 may be configured to be able to be integrated with the extrusion support member 561. For example, the spacer 522 may be coated with an adhesive to contact the spacer 522 with the extrusion support member 561. You may make it joined with respect to. In this case, it is preferable that the spacer 522 is joined to the pushing support member 561 with an adhesive that forms a viscous adhesive layer so that even a small amount of the spacer 522 is integrated. When the surface and the inclined surface of the spacer 522 are deviated from each other, the spacer 522 is likely to move or rotate with respect to the pushing support member 561 so that they are close to parallel, and it is easy to perform the game nail replacement work. You can
上記実施形態におけるスペーサ522に対して、作動部材の移動方向に沿った長さの異なるスペーサを用意し、いずれかのスペーサを選択的に用いて遊技釘の押し出し操作をしても良い。例えば、作動部材の移動方向に沿った中心軸部分の長さとして3mm、8mm、12mmといった複数種類の長さを有するスペーサを用意しても良い。スペーサ以外の遊技釘交換具500の部材を共通化しつつ、異なる厚さの遊技板に適したスペーサを利用することができ、更には押出用支持部材561の位置調整だけでは対応できないような厚さの遊技板に対しても遊技釘交換具500を使用して折損した遊技釘の押し出し操作を安定して実施することができる。
With respect to the spacer 522 in the above-described embodiment, spacers having different lengths along the moving direction of the operating member may be prepared, and any one of the spacers may be selectively used to push out the game nail. For example, a spacer having a plurality of types of lengths such as 3 mm, 8 mm, and 12 mm as the length of the central axis portion along the moving direction of the operating member may be prepared. While the members of the game nail exchanging tool 500 other than the spacers are made common, spacers suitable for the game plates having different thicknesses can be used, and the thickness which cannot be dealt with only by adjusting the position of the pushing support member 561. The game nail exchanging tool 500 can be used to stably push out the broken game nail for the game board.
上記実施形態における遊技釘交換具500の差込用支持部材571には、差し込み後の遊技釘を抜き出すために使用される貫通溝599が、差込用作動部材572の移動方向に交差する一方側のみに設けられたが、必ずしも一方側のみに設ける必要はなく、その移動方向に交差する両方向側、或いは、移動方向を中心軸として一定の角度離間した3方向側に形成しても良い。また、差込用支持部材571の先端側孔597に対して貫通溝599の長溝部602の幅が略同一となる設定としても良い。また、貫通溝599の開口部601は、必ずしも側面視において円形状に形成する必要はなく、遊技釘の頭部が通過可能であれば半円形状または略矩形状等の他の形状としても良い。
In the insertion support member 571 of the game nail exchanging tool 500 in the above-described embodiment, a through groove 599 used for extracting the game nail after insertion has one side intersecting with the moving direction of the insertion operation member 572. Although it is provided only on one side, it may not necessarily be provided on only one side, and may be formed on both sides intersecting the movement direction or on three sides separated by a certain angle with the movement direction as the central axis. Further, the width of the long groove portion 602 of the through groove 599 may be set to be substantially the same as that of the distal end side hole 597 of the insertion support member 571. Further, the opening 601 of the through groove 599 does not necessarily have to be formed in a circular shape in a side view, and may have another shape such as a semicircular shape or a substantially rectangular shape as long as the head of the game nail can pass therethrough. ..

That is, the rotating operation member 518 is not limited to a member operated by a direct manual operation by an operator, and may be configured to be indirectly operated by an operation on a drive unit.
上記実施形態における遊技釘交換具500は、上記実施形態において説明した各遊技板50,200,300に設けられる釘穴52,202,302に保持された遊技釘100,150の交換作業に使用可能であり、また、上記した形状の遊技板および遊技釘に限らず、他の形態の遊技板および遊技釘に対して使用することもでき、遊技板に対して風車等を固定するための釘に対しても使用することができる。また、必ずしも合成樹脂製の遊技板に設けられる遊技釘の交換作業に遊技釘交換具500を使用する必要はなく、木製の遊技板に設けられる遊技釘に対して使用しても良い。この場合には、木製の遊技板における釘穴も遊技釘が保持される部位の内径で前面側から後面側にわたって貫通形成する必要がある。また、必ずしも1の遊技釘交換具500を用いて、折損した遊技釘の押し出し操作と差し込み操作とを行う必要はなく、2つの遊技釘交換具500を準備して、各操作を別々の遊技釘交換具500にて実施しても良いし、遊技釘の押し出し操作のみに遊技釘交換具500を使用し、遊技釘の差し込み操作は他の工具を使用する等、いずれかの操作のみを遊技釘交換具500により行うこととしても良い。
The game nail exchanging tool 500 in the above embodiment can be used for exchanging the game nails 100, 150 held in the nail holes 52, 202, 302 provided in the game plates 50, 200, 300 described in the above embodiment. Further, the present invention is not limited to the game board and the game nail having the above-described shapes, and can be used for other forms of the game board and the game nail, and can be used as a nail for fixing a wind turbine or the like to the game board. It can also be used against. Further, it is not always necessary to use the game nail exchanging tool 500 for exchanging the game nails provided on the game board made of synthetic resin, and it may be used for the game nails provided on the wooden game board. In this case, the nail hole in the wooden game board also needs to be formed so as to penetrate from the front surface side to the rear surface side at the inner diameter of the portion where the game nail is held. Further, it is not always necessary to perform the pushing operation and the inserting operation of the broken game nail by using the one game nail exchanging tool 500, and two game nail exchanging tools 500 are prepared, and each operation is performed separately. It may be carried out by the exchange tool 500, or the game nail exchange tool 500 is used only for pushing out the game nail, and another tool is used for inserting the game nail. It may be performed by the exchange tool 500.
上記実施形態における遊技釘交換具500に対して、例えば図21に示すように、形状の異なるベース部材801を有する遊技釘交換具800としても良い。図21は他の実施形態に係る遊技釘交換具800を示した側面図である。
21. For example, as shown in FIG. 21, the gaming nail exchanging tool 500 may be a gaming nail exchanging tool 800 having a base member 801 having a different shape. FIG. 21 is a side view showing a gaming nail changer 800 according to another embodiment.
遊技釘交換具800は、図9等に示す上記実施形態における遊技釘交換具500に対してベース部材の形状を異ならせたものである。詳細には、上記実施形態において作動側突出部542が形成された部位に対して作動部材512から離間した側部分を削除した形状であり、本体部541において長穴534を形成する外形部分を削除した形状とされている。
The game nail exchanging tool 800 is different from the game nail exchanging tool 500 in the above embodiment shown in FIG. 9 in the shape of the base member. In detail, in the above-described embodiment, the side portion separated from the operating member 512 is deleted from the portion where the operating-side protruding portion 542 is formed, and the outer shape portion that forms the elongated hole 534 in the main body portion 541 is deleted. It has been shaped.
遊技釘交換具800のベース部材801は、図21に示すように、操作用凹み部532の空間を隔てて先端側突出部544と基端側突出部545とが作動部材512に対して一方側(図21の右側)において連続した形状とされている。すなわち、作動部材512の一方側において、先端側突出部544と基端側突出部545とがベース部材801の本体部802により接続され、側面視コ字状部を有する形状とされている。ベース部材801の本体部802における作動部材512の移動方向先端側に相当する下側部分は、移動方向基端側に相当する上側部分よりも作動部材512の中心軸に対して離間した方向側に突出し、その突出先端側にて上下に連続した形状とされている。このため、遊技釘交換具800のベース部材801は、操作用凹み部532が形成される上側部分より深さが深い凹み部分を遊技板用凹み部533として側面視コ字状部を有する形状とされている。上記実施形態におけるベース部材511と比べた場合、作動側突出部を構成する2つの突出部544,545と、受け側突出部543と、それら突出部543〜545を接続する部位のみでベース部材801が構成されることでベース部材511の重量を低減することができ、また、必要最小限の機能部位に外形を限定することにより遊技釘交換具800を小型に形成し、遊技板に取りつけられた周辺部品等に遊技釘交換具800を衝突させる可能性を最低限に抑えることができる。操作性の面においては、遊技板用凹み部533の底側部分に相当する上下に連続した本体部802を把持することでコ字形の内面に指を掛けて安定して移動等を行うことができ、必要最小限の形状による軽量化により操作性の高いものとすることができる。
As shown in FIG. 21, the base member 801 of the game nail changer 800 has a distal end side protruding portion 544 and a proximal end side protruding portion 545 on one side with respect to the actuating member 512 with the space of the operation recessed portion 532 separated. It has a continuous shape on the right side of FIG. That is, on one side of the actuating member 512, the front end side protruding portion 544 and the base end side protruding portion 545 are connected by the main body portion 802 of the base member 801, and has a shape having a U-shape in side view. A lower portion of the main body 802 of the base member 801 that corresponds to the distal end side in the moving direction of the actuating member 512 is closer to the direction away from the central axis of the actuating member 512 than the upper portion that corresponds to the proximal end side in the moving direction. The shape is such that it protrudes and is vertically continuous at the protruding tip side. Therefore, the base member 801 of the game nail exchanging tool 800 has a shape having a U-shaped portion in a side view as a recessed portion 533 for a game plate, which is a recessed portion having a deeper depth than the upper portion where the operation recessed portion 532 is formed. Has been done. When compared with the base member 511 in the above-described embodiment, the base member 801 includes only two projecting portions 544 and 545 that form an operating-side projecting portion, a receiving-side projecting portion 543, and a portion that connects these projecting portions 543 to 545. Can reduce the weight of the base member 511, and by limiting the outer shape to the minimum necessary functional parts, the game nail exchanging tool 800 is formed in a small size and attached to the game board. It is possible to minimize the possibility that the game nail changer 800 collides with peripheral parts and the like. In terms of operability, by gripping a vertically continuous main body portion 802 corresponding to the bottom side portion of the game board recessed portion 533, it is possible to stably move by placing a finger on the U-shaped inner surface. It is possible to achieve high operability by reducing the weight with the minimum required shape.
遊技板用凹み部533の幅W及び深さDは、遊技板の厚みと、遊技釘の前面側への突出量と、受け部材513の厚みとを加えた量よりも幅広く形成する必要があり、例えば、遊技板の厚みが略8mm、遊技釘の前面側への突出量が略18.5mm、受け部材513の厚みが略8mmとした場合、最低でも略35mmは必要であり、5mm以上の余裕を持たせて略40mm以上に設定することが好ましい。更に厚みのある遊技板を使用する場合及び遊技釘の前面側への突出量が大きく設定される場合には、その増量分に応じて遊技板用凹み部533の幅Wは広く設定する。
The width W and the depth D of the game board recessed portion 533 need to be formed wider than the sum of the thickness of the game board, the amount of protrusion of the game nail toward the front side, and the thickness of the receiving member 513. , For example, when the thickness of the game board is about 8 mm, the amount of protrusion of the game nail to the front side is about 18.5 mm, and the thickness of the receiving member 513 is about 8 mm, at least about 35 mm is necessary and 5 mm or more. It is preferable to set it to about 40 mm or more with a margin. When using a thicker game plate or when the amount of protrusion of the game nail toward the front side is set to be large, the width W of the game plate recessed portion 533 is set to be wide according to the increased amount.
遊技板用凹み部533の深さDは、幅Wが減少することなく深さ方向側(図21の右側)に連続する範囲を長く確保することが遊技板に取り付けられた遊技釘の交換可能範囲を拡げることができて好ましい。例えば、遊技板用凹み部533の深さDは、幅寸法が減少しない深さ方向側への長さとして、作動部材512の中心軸に対して略60mmから略150mmの範囲内に設定することが好ましく、略70mmから略100mmの範囲内に設定することが好適である。なお、遊技板用凹み部533の深さDが長いほど、ベース部材501,801の外形が作動部材512の中心軸から離間し、センター装飾部材の開口50a(図18参照)への挿入操作が困難となり、又は不能となるために、遊技板用凹み部533の深さDは長過ぎないように、上記した一定以下のサイズに設定することが好ましい。
As for the depth D of the recessed portion 533 for the game plate, it is possible to secure a long continuous range in the depth direction side (right side of FIG. 21) without decreasing the width W. It is possible to replace the game nail attached to the game plate. It is preferable because the range can be expanded. For example, the depth D of the game plate recessed portion 533 should be set within the range of approximately 60 mm to approximately 150 mm with respect to the central axis of the operating member 512, as the length in the depth direction where the width dimension does not decrease. Is preferable, and it is preferable to set it in the range of approximately 70 mm to approximately 100 mm. As the depth D of the game board recess 533 is longer, the outer shapes of the base members 501 and 801 are separated from the central axis of the actuating member 512, and the insertion operation into the opening 50a (see FIG. 18) of the center decoration member can be performed. Since it becomes difficult or impossible, it is preferable to set the depth D of the game plate recess 533 to a size equal to or less than the above-mentioned value so as not to be too long.
上記実施形態における遊技釘の差し込み位置を調整可能な位置調整手段を備えても良い。例えば、作動部材512の移動方向先端側(図21の下側)への移動を制限する移動制限部材として調整スペーサ811を設けても良い。調整スペーサ811は、図21に示すように、回動操作部材518と、ベース部材801における回動操作部材518が当接する端面との間部分に配置し、基端側支持部材517の外形より僅かに大きな内径を有する円環状の金属製部材で構成する。調整スペーサ811における作動部材512の中心軸に沿った厚みが作動部材512の差し込み方向先端側(図21の下側)への移動を制限する。この調整スペーサ811により差し込み操作においては遊技釘の前面側への突出量をより大きくすることができ、また、遊技板の厚みの変化に対応した調整スペーサ811を設けることで厚みの異なる遊技板に対応した遊技釘交換具とすることができる。なお、回動操作部材518に対しての固定操作部材519のねじ込み量を調整して位置調整手段としても良く、固定操作部材519を回動操作部材518の一端側に完全にはねじ込まずに、余裕を設けることでも作動部材512の先端側への移動を制限することができる。基端側支持部材517と回動操作部材518との相対位置を作動部材512の中心軸に沿って変化させても位置調整手段として遊技釘の差し込み位置を変化させることができ、遊技釘の差し込み位置は、固定ねじ521を緩めた後に基端側支持部材517に対する回動操作部材518の軸方向に沿った相対位置を調整して設定することもできる。
You may provide the position adjustment means which can adjust the insertion position of the game nail in the said embodiment. For example, the adjustment spacer 811 may be provided as a movement restricting member that restricts the movement of the actuating member 512 toward the distal end side (the lower side in FIG. 21) in the moving direction. As shown in FIG. 21, the adjustment spacer 811 is arranged between the rotation operation member 518 and the end surface of the base member 801 with which the rotation operation member 518 contacts, and is slightly smaller than the outer shape of the base end side support member 517. It is composed of an annular metal member having a large inner diameter. The thickness of the adjusting spacer 811 along the central axis of the actuating member 512 limits the movement of the actuating member 512 toward the distal end side (the lower side in FIG. 21) in the inserting direction. By this adjusting spacer 811, the amount of protrusion of the game nail to the front side can be further increased in the inserting operation, and by providing the adjusting spacer 811 corresponding to the change of the thickness of the game board, the game board having a different thickness can be provided. It can be a corresponding game nail changer. It should be noted that the screwing amount of the fixed operation member 519 with respect to the rotation operation member 518 may be adjusted to serve as position adjusting means, and the fixed operation member 519 is not completely screwed into one end side of the rotation operation member 518, Providing a margin can also limit the movement of the actuating member 512 toward the distal end side. Even if the relative position between the base end side support member 517 and the rotation operation member 518 is changed along the central axis of the operation member 512, the insertion position of the game nail can be changed as a position adjusting means, and the game nail can be inserted. The position can also be set by loosening the fixing screw 521 and then adjusting the relative position along the axial direction of the rotation operation member 518 with respect to the base end side support member 517.
上記実施形態における押出用支持部材561及び差込用支持部材571の少なくとも一方に代えて、例えば、図22(a)及び図22(b)に示すように、先端部の形状が異なる押出用支持部材821及び差込用支持部材831の少なくとも一方を遊技釘交換具の構成部品としても良い。図22(a)は他の実施形態における押出用支持部材821の側面図であり、図22(b)は他の実施形態における差込用支持部材831の側面図であり、図22(c)及び図22(d)は各支持部材821,831の使用状態を示す説明図であり、図22(e)は他の実施形態における差込用支持部材839の側面図である。
Instead of at least one of the extrusion support member 561 and the insertion support member 571 in the above-described embodiment, for example, as shown in FIGS. 22A and 22B, the extrusion support having a different tip end shape. At least one of the member 821 and the insertion support member 831 may be a component of the game nail exchange tool. 22A is a side view of the pushing support member 821 according to another embodiment, FIG. 22B is a side view of the insertion support member 831 according to another embodiment, and FIG. And FIG.22(d) is explanatory drawing which shows the use condition of each support member 821,831, and FIG.22(e) is a side view of the insertion support member 839 in other embodiment.
押出用支持部材821及び差込用支持部材831は、上記実施形態における押出用支持部材561及び差込用支持部材571より先端部822,832が長く形成され、図22(d)に示すように、受け部材513との間に遊技板50を挟み込み可能な長さに設定されている。すなわち、押出用支持部材821は、図22(a)に示すように、雄ねじ部584及び摘み部586が上記実施形態における形状と同一とされ、先端部822の長さL1が上記実施形態における先端部585にスペーサ522の長さを加えた長さにほぼ等しく設定されている。
The extruding support member 821 and the inserting support member 831 have distal end portions 822 and 832 formed longer than those of the extruding support member 561 and the inserting support member 571 in the above-described embodiment, and as shown in FIG. The length is set such that the gaming board 50 can be sandwiched between the receiving member 513 and the receiving member 513. That is, in the pushing support member 821, as shown in FIG. 22A, the male screw portion 584 and the knob portion 586 have the same shape as in the above embodiment, and the length L1 of the tip portion 822 is the tip in the above embodiment. The length is set to be approximately equal to the length obtained by adding the length of the spacer 522 to the portion 585.
押出用支持部材821の先端部822の形状は、受け部材513が位置する先端側で遊技板に当接する部位が側面視円弧状であって中心部分が受け部材513側に最も膨出した略球状(略半球状)に形成されている。押出用支持部材821の先端部822は、図22(d)に示すように、中央部分に貫通穴を有して円環状に遊技板50の裏面に当接する受け部材513の中心に近い位置において遊技板50に当接する設定とされている。このため、押出用支持部材821の先端を遊技板50側に進行させた場合に、受け部材513の中心付近に力が作用し、受け部材513と押出用支持部材821との間に遊技板50を挟み込む操作を簡易且つ正確に実行し易くすることができる。
The shape of the tip end portion 822 of the pushing support member 821 is a substantially spherical shape in which the portion contacting the game plate on the tip end side where the receiving member 513 is located is arcuate in side view and the central portion is the most bulged toward the receiving member 513 side. It is formed in a substantially hemispherical shape. As shown in FIG. 22D, the tip end portion 822 of the pushing support member 821 has a through hole in the central portion and is located at a position close to the center of the receiving member 513 which abuts the back surface of the game board 50 in an annular shape. It is set to abut on the game board 50. Therefore, when the tip of the pushing support member 821 is advanced to the game plate 50 side, a force acts near the center of the receiving member 513, and the gaming plate 50 is placed between the receiving member 513 and the pushing support member 821. It is possible to easily and accurately carry out the operation of sandwiching.
押出用支持部材821における摘み部586から先端部822の先端までの長さL1は、交換対象の遊技釘が固定された遊技板50を受け部材513との間に挟み込んだ状態において押出用支持部材821と受け部材513とが共に遊技板50に当接可能な長さに設定される。なお、交換対象の遊技釘が固定される遊技板の厚みに応じて摘み部586から先端部822の先端までの長さL1は設定すれば良く、複数種類の異なる厚みを有する遊技板に対応する場合には、最も薄く形成される遊技板を基準として摘み部586から先端部822の先端までの長さL1を決定すれば良い。
The length L1 from the grip portion 586 to the tip of the tip portion 822 in the pushing support member 821 is set to be the pushing support member in a state of being sandwiched between the game plate 50 to which the game nail to be replaced is fixed and the receiving member 513. Both 821 and the receiving member 513 are set to a length such that they can contact the game board 50. The length L1 from the knob 586 to the tip of the tip 822 may be set according to the thickness of the game board to which the game nail to be replaced is fixed, and corresponds to a plurality of types of game boards having different thicknesses. In this case, the length L1 from the pick portion 586 to the tip of the tip portion 822 may be determined with reference to the thinnest gaming plate.
差込用支持部材831についても、図22(b)に示すように、雄ねじ部594及び摘み部596が上記実施形態における形状と同一とされ、先端部832の長さが上記実施形態における先端部595より長く設定されている。そして、差込用支持部材831における摘み部596から先端部595の先端までの長さL2は、交換対象の遊技釘が固定された遊技板50を前後で挟み込んだ状態において差込用支持部材831と受け部材513とが共に遊技板50に当接可能な長さ可能な長さに設定されている。
Also in the insertion support member 831, as shown in FIG. 22B, the male screw portion 594 and the knob portion 596 have the same shape as in the above embodiment, and the length of the tip portion 832 is the tip portion in the above embodiment. It is set longer than 595. The length L2 from the grip portion 596 to the tip of the tip end portion 595 of the insertion support member 831 is the insertion support member 831 when the game plate 50 to which the game nail to be replaced is fixed is sandwiched in the front and rear. The receiving member 513 and the receiving member 513 are both set to a length that allows the abutting contact with the game board 50.
差込用支持部材831の先端部832の形状についても、受け部材513が位置する先端側で遊技板に当接する部位が側面視円弧状であって中心部分が受け部材513側に最も膨出した略球状(略半球状)に形成されている。差込用支持部材831の先端部832は、図22(d)に示すように、受け部材153が円環状に遊技板50の裏面に当接する中心部分に近い位置において差込用支持部材831の先端が当接する設定とされ、受け部材513と差込用支持部材831との間に遊技板50を挟み込む操作を簡易且つ正確に実行し易くすることができる。
Regarding the shape of the tip portion 832 of the insertion support member 831, the portion of the tip end side where the receiving member 513 is located is in contact with the game plate is arcuate in side view, and the central portion is the most bulged toward the receiving member 513 side. It is formed in a substantially spherical shape (a substantially hemispherical shape). As shown in FIG. 22D, the tip end 832 of the insertion support member 831 has the insertion support member 831 at a position close to the central portion where the receiving member 153 comes into contact with the back surface of the game plate 50 in an annular shape. The tip is set to abut, and the operation of sandwiching the game board 50 between the receiving member 513 and the inserting support member 831 can be easily and accurately executed.
ここで、受け部材513と押出用支持部材821及び差込用支持部材831との間に遊技板50を挟み込む操作について、図22(c)及び図22(d)を参照して説明する。図22(c)及び図22(d)は、縦方向に切断した遊技板50を側面視した状態を示しており、受け部材513の向き調整を終えた後に、押出用支持部材821(又は差込用支持部材831)を回動操作して受け部材513と押出用支持部材821(又は差込用支持部材831)との間に遊技板50を挟み込む操作の過程と操作後の状態を示している。
Here, an operation of sandwiching the game board 50 between the receiving member 513 and the pushing support member 821 and the insertion support member 831 will be described with reference to FIGS. 22(c) and 22(d). 22C and 22D show a state in which the gaming board 50 cut in the vertical direction is viewed from the side, and after the orientation adjustment of the receiving member 513 is finished, the pushing support member 821 (or the difference). Shows a process of operating the insertion support member 831) to rotate and insert the game board 50 between the receiving member 513 and the pushing support member 821 (or the insertion support member 831) and the state after the operation. There is.
例えば、遊技釘交換具500に差込用支持部材831を取り付け、差込用支持部材831と受け部材513との間に遊技板50を挟み込む操作について説明する。まずは、差込用支持部材831の先端部832を、図22(c)に示すように、遊技板50に形成された遊技釘を差し込む対象となる釘穴に一致させつつ遊技板50に当接させる。この場合に、差込用支持部材831の先端部832の中心部分が受け部材513側に最も突出しているので、その先端側に先細りになった突端部分を釘穴に位置合わせすれば良く、釘穴を確認し易くして差込用支持部材831の先端部832の中心を容易に位置合わせすることができる。また、差込用支持部材831の位置合わせをした後に遊技釘交換具500の傾斜角度が変化しても、先細りに形成された先端部832の中心軸と釘穴との位置ずれは少なく抑えることができる。よって、遊技釘交換具500の傾斜角度の調整も簡易に行うことができる。
For example, an operation of attaching the insertion support member 831 to the game nail exchanging tool 500 and sandwiching the game plate 50 between the insertion support member 831 and the receiving member 513 will be described. First, as shown in FIG. 22C, the tip 832 of the insertion support member 831 is brought into contact with the game plate 50 while being aligned with the nail hole into which the game nail formed in the game plate 50 is to be inserted. Let In this case, since the central portion of the tip end portion 832 of the insertion support member 831 projects most toward the receiving member 513 side, the tip end portion tapered toward the tip end side may be aligned with the nail hole. The center of the tip end portion 832 of the insertion support member 831 can be easily aligned by making it easy to confirm the hole. Further, even if the tilt angle of the game nail exchanging tool 500 changes after the insertion support member 831 is aligned, the positional deviation between the central axis of the tapered tip portion 832 and the nail hole can be suppressed to be small. You can Therefore, the tilt angle of the game nail changer 500 can be easily adjusted.
差込用支持部材831の先端部832の位置合わせ後には、差込用支持部材831を受け部材513側に近づける方向側(図22(c)の矢印方向側)に回動させる。この回動操作をし続けると、受け部材513の一部が遊技板50の裏面に当接し、更に回動操作をし続けると、差込用支持部材831の当接部分の曲面形状に沿って遊技釘交換具500全体が次第に傾斜しつつ、受け部材513の遊技板50側を向く面と遊技板50の裏面との隙間が減少する。更に、差込用支持部材831を回動させることで、図22(d)に示すように、受け部材513の遊技板50側を向く面と遊技板50の裏面との隙間が無くなり、差込用支持部材831の先端部832が連続する方向に一致する遊技釘の差し込み方向と、釘穴の貫通方向とが一致した適切な傾斜角度に遊技釘交換具500が配置される。
After the position of the distal end portion 832 of the insertion support member 831 is adjusted, the insertion support member 831 is rotated toward the receiving member 513 side (the arrow direction side in FIG. 22C). If this rotation operation is continued, a part of the receiving member 513 contacts the back surface of the game board 50, and if the rotation operation is further continued, along the curved surface shape of the contact portion of the insertion support member 831. While the entire game nail changer 500 is gradually inclined, the gap between the surface of the receiving member 513 facing the game plate 50 side and the back surface of the game plate 50 is reduced. Further, by rotating the insertion support member 831, as shown in FIG. 22D, the gap between the surface of the receiving member 513 facing the gaming plate 50 side and the back surface of the gaming plate 50 disappears, and the insertion member is inserted. The game nail exchanging tool 500 is arranged at an appropriate inclination angle in which the inserting direction of the game nail, which coincides with the direction in which the tip portion 832 of the supporting member 831 continues, and the penetrating direction of the nail hole coincide with each other.
この遊技釘交換具500が傾斜する途中過程においては、差込用支持部材831の先端部832において遊技板50に当接する部位と、受け部材513において遊技板50に当接する部位とを離れた位置とすることが好ましく、差込用支持部材831の先端部832の中心部分が受け部材513側に最も突出している形状とすることが好ましい。この形状とした場合には、差込用支持部材831の先端部832の中心付近を中心として遊技釘交換具500を傾斜した状態に遷移させ易く、遊技釘交換具500を適切な傾斜角度側に容易に傾斜させることができる。また、円環状の受け部材513の外周の一部が遊技板50の裏面側に当接するのに対して、遊技板50の前面側では受け部材513の中心付近に力が作用し、差込用支持部材831の回動操作により、遊技釘交換具500全体が適切な傾斜角度に傾く方向側に回動力が作用し易いものとなる。このため、受け部材513の遊技板50側を向く面と遊技板50の裏面との隙間を無くした状態まで、差込用支持部材831の回動操作を少ない力で簡易に行うことができ、操作の対象となる釘穴に対して差し込み操作が可能な状態に遊技釘交換具500を正確に配置することができる。また、差込用支持部材831の回動操作を行う際には、差込用支持部材831の回動中心から近い位置で遊技板50と差込用支持部材831が接触しているほど、差込用支持部材831と遊技板50との当接による摩擦力による回動抵抗トルクが少なく、差込用支持部材831の回動操作がし易いものとなる。更に、差込用支持部材831と遊技板50との摩擦により傷が生じたとしても、その傷は、遊技釘の根元付近に形成されるものとなるので、遊技板50の遊技釘間に対して施された装飾部又は遊技板50を介して視認可能な遊技板50裏面側に設けられる装飾部の視認性が低下することを抑制することができる。押出用支持部材821の先端部822の形状についても、受け部材513側に最も突出している形状とされているので、差込用支持部材831における遊技板50の挟み込み操作と同様の効果を奏するものとすることができる。
In the middle of inclining the game nail exchanging tool 500, a position where the tip end portion 832 of the insertion support member 831 contacts the game plate 50 and a portion of the receiving member 513 contact the game plate 50 are separated from each other. It is preferable that the center portion of the tip end portion 832 of the insertion support member 831 be most protruded toward the receiving member 513 side. In the case of this shape, the game nail exchanging tool 500 is easily transitioned to an inclined state around the center of the tip portion 832 of the insertion support member 831, and the game nail exchanging tool 500 is moved to an appropriate inclination angle side. It can be easily tilted. Further, while a part of the outer circumference of the annular receiving member 513 abuts on the back surface side of the game plate 50, a force acts near the center of the receiving member 513 on the front surface side of the game plate 50 for insertion. By the rotation operation of the support member 831, the turning force easily acts in the direction in which the entire game nail exchanging tool 500 is inclined at an appropriate inclination angle. Therefore, the rotation operation of the insertion support member 831 can be easily performed with a small force until the gap between the surface of the receiving member 513 facing the game plate 50 side and the back surface of the game plate 50 is eliminated. The game nail exchanging tool 500 can be accurately arranged in a state in which it can be inserted into the nail hole to be operated. Further, when performing the rotation operation of the insertion support member 831, the more the game plate 50 and the insertion support member 831 are in contact with each other at a position closer to the rotation center of the insertion support member 831, The rotation resistance torque due to the frictional force due to the contact between the insertion support member 831 and the game board 50 is small, and the rotation operation of the insertion support member 831 becomes easy. Further, even if a scratch occurs due to friction between the insertion support member 831 and the game plate 50, the scratch is formed near the base of the game nail, so that between the game nails of the game plate 50. It is possible to suppress a reduction in the visibility of the decorative portion provided on the back surface side of the game board 50 that is visible through the decorative portion or the game board 50 that has been applied. The shape of the tip end portion 822 of the pushing support member 821 is also the shape most protruding toward the receiving member 513 side, and therefore, the same effect as the operation of sandwiching the game plate 50 with the insertion support member 831 is achieved. Can be
押出用支持部材821及び差込用支持部材831の先端部822,832の先端形状は、略球形状に限らず中心部分が受け部材513側に膨出した曲面形状とした他の形状としても良い。例えば、先端部822,832の先端形状としては、複数の曲率半径を組み合わせた曲線形状で形成しても良い。また、押出用支持部材及び差込用支持部材の先端部の先端形状として、先端部832の連続する方向に垂直な平面に対して先端部832の中心部分が受け部材513側に突出し、周辺部分が側面視で直線的に傾斜した傾斜面を有する形状としても良い。この傾斜面としては、略円錐形に対して中心部に貫通穴を形成した略円錐台形としても良いし、略多角錐に対して中心部に貫通穴を形成した略多角錐台形に形成しても良く、略多角錐形とする場合には、正六角錐台又は正八角錐台とする等、少なくとも五以上の角数を有する正多角錐台形とすることが押出用支持部材及び差込用支持部材の回動操作を円滑に実行可能とする上で好ましい。
The tip end shapes of the tip end portions 822 and 832 of the pushing support member 821 and the insertion support member 831 are not limited to a substantially spherical shape, and may be other shapes such as a curved surface shape in which the central portion bulges toward the receiving member 513 side. .. For example, the tip shapes of the tip portions 822 and 832 may be formed in a curved shape in which a plurality of radii of curvature are combined. Further, as the tip shapes of the tip portions of the pushing support member and the insertion support member, the central portion of the tip portion 832 projects toward the receiving member 513 side with respect to the plane perpendicular to the continuous direction of the tip portion 832, and the peripheral portion. May have a shape having an inclined surface that is linearly inclined in a side view. The inclined surface may be a substantially truncated cone shape having a through hole formed in the central portion with respect to the substantially conical shape, or a substantially polygonal pyramid trapezoid having a through hole formed in the central portion with respect to the substantially polygonal pyramid. Also, in the case of a substantially polygonal pyramid, a regular hexagonal pyramid or a regular octagonal pyramid, for example, a regular polygonal truncated pyramid having at least five or more corners is used as the extrusion support member and the insertion support member. This is preferable in that the rotating operation of can be smoothly performed.
例えば、差込用支持部材831に対して先端部832の先端面形状を異ならせた差込用支持部材839として、図22(e)に示すように、先端部832の連続する方向に垂直な平面に対して角度A1で傾斜した傾斜面が先端部832の中心軸を中心とした全周にわたって形成された略円錐形の先端面839aを有する形状としても良い。この場合における角度A1は、遊技板50の厚み方向に対して釘穴が傾斜して取り付けられる角度、すなわち、遊技板50の前面の向く方向に対して遊技釘が傾いて取り付けられる傾斜角度と一致させるか、或いは、その傾斜角度より大きな角度に設定することが好ましい。差込用支持部材839の先端面839aの中心付近を遊技板の前面に当接させることによる上記した効果を奏するものとすることができる。また、先端部832の連続する方向に垂直な平面に対して先端面が傾斜した角度A1を、遊技板50の前面の向く方向に対して遊技釘が傾いて取り付けられる傾斜角度(例えば略5度)と一致させた場合には、適切な傾斜角度に遊技釘交換具500が配置された場合と、差込用支持部材831を回動操作した状況における差込用支持部材831の操作感及び遊技釘交換具500を支持した感触が異なるものとなる。よって、遊技板50を挟み込む操作において適切な傾斜角度に遊技釘交換具500を一層容易に配置することができる。
For example, as the insertion support member 839 in which the tip end surface shape of the tip end portion 832 is different from that of the insertion end support member 831, as shown in FIG. 22E, the tip end portion 832 is perpendicular to the continuous direction of the tip end portion 832. The inclined surface inclined at an angle A1 with respect to the plane may have a substantially conical tip surface 839a formed over the entire circumference around the central axis of the tip portion 832. The angle A1 in this case coincides with the angle at which the nail hole is attached with an inclination with respect to the thickness direction of the game board 50, that is, the inclination angle with which the game nail is attached with an inclination with respect to the direction in which the front surface of the game board 50 faces. It is preferable to set the angle larger than the tilt angle. It is possible to achieve the above-described effect by bringing the vicinity of the center of the tip end surface 839a of the insertion support member 839 into contact with the front surface of the game board. Further, an angle A1 in which the tip end surface is inclined with respect to a plane perpendicular to the continuous direction of the tip end portion 832 is an inclination angle at which the game nail is attached to be inclined with respect to the direction in which the front surface of the game board 50 faces (for example, approximately 5 degrees). ), the operation feeling of the inserting support member 831 and the game when the game nail exchanging tool 500 is arranged at an appropriate inclination angle and the situation where the inserting support member 831 is rotated. The feeling of supporting the nail changer 500 is different. Therefore, it is possible to more easily arrange the game nail exchange tool 500 at an appropriate inclination angle in the operation of sandwiching the game board 50.
差込用支持部材831の貫通溝833は、図22(b)に示すように、先端部832の先端側から遊技釘の頭部の外形より大きく形成された開口部834までの長さL3が遊技板に固定される遊技釘の前面側への突出量より短く設定されている。例えば、遊技釘の前面側への突出量が略18mmに設定されている場合には、この突出量より短い長さとして開口部834までの長さL3を略16mm等に設定しても良く、更には遊技釘の前面側の突出量より十分に、例えば3mm以上短く設定しても良い。遊技釘を遊技板に固定した後には、貫通溝833を通じて遊技釘を抜き出させる必要があるため、貫通溝833における開口部834までの長さL3は遊技釘の前側への突出量より小さく設定される。遊技釘の差し込みに際しては、基端側支持孔835において貫通溝833の形成されていない入口側(図22(b)の上側)の部位に遊技釘の頭部が支持された状態で遊技釘が遊技板50内に進行することとなり、遊技釘の頭部が貫通溝833側に移動せず、遊技釘を安定して遊技板50内に進行させることができる。
As shown in FIG. 22B, the through groove 833 of the insertion support member 831 has a length L3 from the distal end side of the distal end portion 832 to the opening 834 formed larger than the outer shape of the head of the game nail. It is set shorter than the amount of protrusion of the game nail fixed to the game board to the front side. For example, when the amount of protrusion of the game nail to the front side is set to about 18 mm, the length L3 to the opening 834 may be set to about 16 mm as a length shorter than this amount of protrusion, Further, it may be set sufficiently shorter than the amount of protrusion on the front side of the game nail, for example, 3 mm or more. After fixing the game nail to the game board, it is necessary to pull out the game nail through the through groove 833, so the length L3 of the through groove 833 to the opening 834 is set to be smaller than the amount of protrusion of the game nail toward the front side. To be done. When inserting the game nail, the game nail is supported with the head of the game nail being supported at the entrance side (upper side of FIG. 22B) where the through groove 833 is not formed in the base end side support hole 835. Since it advances into the game board 50, the head of the game nail does not move to the side of the through groove 833, and the game nail can be stably advanced into the game board 50.
押出用支持部材821及び差込用支持部材831は、金属材料で形成しても良いが、好ましくは、遊技板50の表面硬さより柔らかい表面硬さに設定された樹脂材料で形成したり、又は少なくとも先端部822,832の先端側面に遊技板50の表面硬さより柔らかい表面部分が形成される表面処理等を施すことが好ましい。例えば、遊技板50がポリカーボネートやアクリル製である場合に、遊技板50の材質より柔らかい表面硬さのポリプロピレンやエラストマーを含む材料を使用するか、又は、その柔らかい材料により少なくとも先端部822,832の先端を形成することが好ましい。押出用支持部材821及び差込用支持部材831の先端部822,832が遊技板50の表面に当接して擦れた場合における傷付きを抑制することができる。
The extrusion support member 821 and the insertion support member 831 may be formed of a metal material, but are preferably formed of a resin material having a surface hardness softer than the surface hardness of the game board 50, or It is preferable to perform a surface treatment or the like such that a surface portion softer than the surface hardness of the game board 50 is formed on at least the tip end side surfaces of the tip end portions 822, 832. For example, when the game board 50 is made of polycarbonate or acrylic, a material containing polypropylene or elastomer having a surface hardness softer than the material of the game board 50 is used, or at least the tips 822 and 832 are made of the soft material. It is preferable to form the tip. It is possible to suppress scratches when the tip ends 822 and 832 of the pushing support member 821 and the insertion support member 831 abut against the surface of the game board 50 and rub against it.
上記実施形態における差込用支持部材571に代えて、図23に示すように、基端側支持孔842が貫通溝599の形成される範囲であって円形の開口部601より長溝部602側に連続した形状の差込用支持部材841としても良い。図23(a)は他の実施形態における差込用支持部材841の側面図であり、図23(b)は差込用支持部材841の一部断面図であり、図23(c)は差込用支持部材841の使用状態を示す説明図である。なお、図23(b)及び図23(c)には、遊技釘を併せて示し、また、図23(c)には、差込用作動部材572を模式的に示している。
Instead of the insertion support member 571 in the above-described embodiment, as shown in FIG. 23, the base end side support hole 842 is in the range where the through groove 599 is formed and is located closer to the long groove portion 602 than the circular opening 601. The insertion support member 841 having a continuous shape may be used. 23A is a side view of the insertion support member 841 according to another embodiment, FIG. 23B is a partial cross-sectional view of the insertion support member 841, and FIG. It is explanatory drawing which shows the use condition of the mounting support member 841. Note that FIG. 23(b) and FIG. 23(c) also show the game nail, and FIG. 23(c) schematically shows the insertion actuating member 572.
基端側支持孔842は、遊技釘の頭部より僅かに大きな内径に形成され、貫通溝599における円形の開口部601より遊技釘の差し込み方向先端側(図23(a)の下側)にまで連続している。貫通溝599における開口部601に連続した長溝部602は、遊技釘の頭部より細く、軸部より太く形成された部位であり、例えば、長溝部602の幅は遊技釘の軸部が略1.85mmである場合に略3mmに設定される。開口部601は、遊技釘の頭部より大きく形成される部位であり、開口部601の大きさは、例えば、遊技釘の頭部が略4.3mmである場合に略5mmの内径に設定されている。
The base end side support hole 842 is formed with an inner diameter slightly larger than the head of the game nail, and is closer to the tip side (the lower side of FIG. 23(a)) in the insertion direction of the game nail than the circular opening 601 in the through groove 599. It continues until. The long groove portion 602 which is continuous with the opening 601 in the through groove 599 is a portion formed to be thinner than the head portion of the game nail and thicker than the shaft portion. For example, the width of the long groove portion 602 is about 1 when the game nail shaft portion is formed. When it is 0.85 mm, it is set to about 3 mm. The opening 601 is a portion formed to be larger than the head of the game nail, and the size of the opening 601 is set to an inner diameter of about 5 mm when the head of the game nail is about 4.3 mm, for example. ing.
基端側支持孔842の入口とは反対側(図23(a)の下側)には、基端側支持孔842より小径で遊技釘の軸部が挿通可能な先端側孔843が連続している。貫通溝599を通じて遊技釘の頭部を基端側支持孔842内に配置し、遊技釘の軸部を先端側孔843内に配置することで遊技釘を差込用支持部材841により支持させて、遊技釘の差し込み操作を行うことができる。
On the side opposite to the entrance of the base end side support hole 842 (the lower side of FIG. 23(a)), a tip end side hole 843 having a smaller diameter than the base end side support hole 842 and through which the shaft portion of the game nail can be inserted is continuous. ing. The head of the game nail is arranged in the base end side support hole 842 through the through groove 599, and the shaft portion of the game nail is arranged in the tip end side hole 843 so that the game nail is supported by the insertion support member 841. It is possible to insert a game nail.
基端側支持孔842において開口部601より遊技釘の差し込み方向先端側に連続する区間の長さX1は、遊技板の前面に対して遊技釘が差し込まれる量を差込量Sとした場合に、差込量Sより長く設定される。このため、図23(b)に示すように、開口部601より長溝部602側に遊技釘の頭部を位置させた状態で遊技釘の先端を遊技板に当接させて遊技釘を遊技板に差し込んでも、遊技釘の頭部は、基端側支持孔842の形成される範囲内を移動して、遊技板に十分に差し込むことができる。基端側支持孔842において開口部601より遊技釘の差し込み方向先端側に連続する区間の長さX1は、例えば、差込量Sが略5mmである場合に差込量Sより大きな略10mmに設定される。この設定により、図23(c)に示すように、差込用作動部材572の先端部分で貫通溝599の開口部601が塞がれた状態にして差込用作動部材572を進行させて遊技釘を差し込む操作をすることができ、貫通溝599を通じた遊技釘の落下を防止することができる。
The length X1 of the section that is continuous from the opening 601 to the tip side in the insertion direction of the game nail in the base end side support hole 842 is when the insertion amount S is the insertion amount of the game nail to the front surface of the game plate. , Longer than the insertion amount S. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 23B, the tip of the game nail is brought into contact with the game board in a state where the head of the game nail is located closer to the long groove 602 than the opening 601 and the game nail is moved to the game board. Even when the game nail is inserted into the game board, the head of the game nail can move within the range where the base end side support hole 842 is formed and can be sufficiently inserted into the game board. In the base end side support hole 842, the length X1 of the section continuous from the opening 601 to the tip side in the insertion direction of the game nail is, for example, approximately 10 mm which is larger than the insertion amount S when the insertion amount S is approximately 5 mm. Is set. By this setting, as shown in FIG. 23(c), the opening 601 of the through groove 599 is closed at the tip of the insertion actuating member 572, and the insertion actuating member 572 is advanced to play the game. It is possible to insert a nail and prevent the game nail from dropping through the through groove 599.
ここで、基端側支持孔842において開口部601より遊技釘の差し込み方向先端側に連続する区間の長さX1として、遊技板の前面に対して遊技釘が差し込まれる量を差込量Sより少ない長さに設定しても良い。この場合でも、図23(c)に示すように、差込用作動部材572の先端部分で貫通溝599の開口部601が塞がれた状態を形成することができ、差込用支持部材571の内側に遊技釘を配置した後に遊技釘が落下することを抑制することができる。
Here, as the length X1 of a section that is continuous from the opening 601 to the tip side in the insertion direction of the game nail in the base end side support hole 842, the amount by which the game nail is inserted into the front surface of the game plate is calculated from the insertion amount S. You may set it to a small length. Even in this case, as shown in FIG. 23C, it is possible to form a state in which the opening 601 of the through groove 599 is closed at the tip end portion of the insertion actuating member 572, and the insertion support member 571. It is possible to prevent the game nail from dropping after the game nail is arranged inside the.
貫通溝599の開口部601に対して差込用支持部材841の先端部における遊技釘の差し込み方向先端側端面までの長さX2は、遊技釘が遊技板に固定された後に貫通溝599を通じて遊技釘を取り出し可能なように、遊技板に固定される遊技釘の前面側への突出量より短く設定される。
The length X2 from the opening 601 of the through groove 599 to the tip end side of the insertion direction of the game nail at the tip of the insertion support member 841 is a game through the through groove 599 after the game nail is fixed to the game board. It is set to be shorter than the protruding amount of the game nail fixed to the game board to the front side so that the nail can be taken out.
上記第1実施形態においては、遊技板50に設けられる釘穴52は、断面円形としたが、必ずしも断面円形とする必要はなく、上記した引き抜き力となる断面形状として非円形の多角形あるいは星形など、他の形状で形成しても良い。また、釘穴52は、必ずしも貫通穴で構成する必要はなく、遊技板50の前面側のみが開放され、後面(裏面)側が塞がれた非貫通の穴で構成しても良い。ただし、遊技釘100が折損した場合には、遊技釘100を裏面側に押し出して抜き取り可能なように、上記実施形態のように、保持部111を保持する内径の穴が裏面側まで貫通していることが好ましい。これにより、遊技釘100が折損した場合に、遊技釘100の残り部分を表面側に抜き出す場合に比べて、釘穴52の内面が削られにくく、新たな遊技釘に交換した場合における遊技釘100の引き抜きに対する保持力を高いものとすることができる。
In the first embodiment, the nail hole 52 provided in the game plate 50 has a circular cross section, but it does not necessarily have to have a circular cross section, and a non-circular polygon or a star is used as the cross-sectional shape that provides the pulling force. It may be formed in another shape such as a shape. Further, the nail hole 52 does not necessarily have to be formed as a through hole, and may be formed as a non-through hole in which only the front surface side of the game board 50 is open and the rear surface (back surface) side is closed. However, when the game nail 100 is broken, the hole of the inner diameter that holds the holding portion 111 penetrates to the back surface side so that the game nail 100 can be pushed out to the back surface side and pulled out. Is preferred. As a result, when the game nail 100 is broken, the inner surface of the nail hole 52 is less likely to be scraped as compared with the case where the remaining portion of the game nail 100 is pulled out to the surface side, and the game nail 100 is replaced with a new game nail. It is possible to increase the holding power for pulling out.
ここで、上記第1実施形態におけるセンター装飾部材22は、遊技板50に開口を設けて、遊技板50の前面51側よりねじ止めにより固定する等、遊技板50の開口に対して前面側より取り外し自在に固定されることが好ましい。上記したように折損した遊技釘100を遊技板50の裏面側に押し出して抜き取りする場合に、その遊技板50の開口を通じて遊技板50の前後に一部が配置される例えば側面視コの字状の専用の工具を配置することができる。詳細には、その工具における前面側に位置する部位には、裏面側に位置する部位側に突出するように移動可能な軸状の部材を設け、その部材で折損した遊技釘100を遊技板50の前面側より押し出すようにする。始動入賞口25の上側やその付近に設けられる遊技釘100、またはセンター装飾部材22に遊技球の通路を設けて始動入賞口25から離れた上流側部分から始動入賞口25の直上部分へ案内する場合などにおける当該通路の入口部分等、センター装飾部材22の周辺には、遊技球の当接頻度が高く、また入賞等の遊技の結果に対する影響の高い遊技釘100が多く配置され、これらの遊技釘は設計値通りに遊技者に遊技球が賞球として払い出されるように規定位置で規定の角度に配置する必要がある。この種の遊技釘100は折損する可能性が高く、かかる遊技釘100に対して透明な遊技板であっても遊技板50の開口を設けることで小型の専用の工具でも遊技板50の前面51側から裏面側に遊技釘100を押し出して、新たな遊技釘に交換した場合における遊技釘100の引き抜きに対する保持力を高く維持することができる。
Here, the center decoration member 22 in the first embodiment is provided with an opening in the game board 50, and is fixed by screwing from the front surface 51 side of the game board 50, for example, from the front surface side with respect to the opening of the game board 50. It is preferably fixed in a removable manner. When the game nail 100 that has been broken as described above is pushed out to the back side of the game plate 50 and pulled out, a part is arranged before and after the game plate 50 through the opening of the game plate 50, for example, a U-shape in side view. It is possible to arrange a dedicated tool for. Specifically, a shaft-shaped member that is movable so as to project to the part located on the back side is provided at the part located on the front side of the tool, and the game nail 100 broken by the member is used as the game board 50. Please push out from the front side. The game nail 100 provided on the upper side of the start winning opening 25 or in the vicinity thereof or the passage of the game ball is provided in the center decoration member 22 to guide the upstream side away from the starting winning opening 25 to the portion directly above the starting winning opening 25. In the vicinity of the center decoration member 22 such as the entrance portion of the passage in such a case, many game nails 100 that have a high contact frequency of game balls and have a high influence on the result of a game such as a prize are arranged. The nails need to be arranged at a predetermined position and at a predetermined angle so that the game balls can be paid out to the player as a prize ball as designed. This type of game nail 100 is highly likely to break, and even if the game plate 50 is transparent to the game nail 100, the opening of the game plate 50 provides the front surface 51 of the game plate 50 with a small dedicated tool. The holding force for pulling out the game nail 100 when the game nail 100 is pushed out from the side to the back side and replaced with a new game nail can be maintained high.
上記第3実施形態において、センター装飾部材22を、遊技板300の開口を通じて前面301側より固定した遊技板300に上記第3実施形態における遊技釘150を取り付ける構成としても良く、この場合には、硬質部としてのくびれ部152は断面積が当接部113より小さく、そのくびれ部152の中央部または曲げ応力が高い保持部111に近い部位にて遊技釘150が折損し易く、この折損した遊技釘150の先端側の一部が遊技板300の厚み範囲内、すなわち、釘穴302内に残存し易い。この残存した遊技釘150を遊技板300の裏面側に押し出して新たな遊技釘150を挿入する場合、折損した遊技釘150を押し出す際に釘穴302の内面における遊技板300の前面301側は残存した遊技釘150によって擦られることが全くないため、その部分が削られることがなく、新たな遊技釘に交換した場合における遊技釘100の引き抜きに対する保持力を高いものとし易くすることができる。
In the third embodiment, the center decoration member 22 may be configured to attach the game nail 150 in the third embodiment to the game board 300 fixed from the front surface 301 side through the opening of the game board 300. In this case, The constricted portion 152 as a hard portion has a smaller cross-sectional area than the contact portion 113, and the game nail 150 is easily broken at the central portion of the constricted portion 152 or a portion near the holding portion 111 having high bending stress, and this broken game is broken. A part of the tip side of the nail 150 is likely to remain in the thickness range of the game board 300, that is, in the nail hole 302. When pushing out the remaining game nail 150 to the back surface side of the game board 300 and inserting a new game nail 150, the front surface 301 side of the game board 300 inside the nail hole 302 remains when pushing out the broken game nail 150. Since the game nail 150 is not rubbed at all, the portion is not scraped, and the holding force for pulling out the game nail 100 when replaced with a new game nail can be easily made high.
上記各実施形態において、保持部111は、外周面側に突出する2条のねじ形状により構成したが、必ずしも2条のねじ形状とする必要はなく、1条または3条以上としても良いし、上記引き抜き力となるような形状であれば、断面形状が軸方向に沿ってねじれていない、網形状または縞状のローレット形状或いは軸方向に平行な突条が周方向に多数設けられることで周面に凹凸が設けられた断面形状を有する保持部としても良い。
In each of the above-described embodiments, the holding portion 111 is configured by the two thread shapes protruding to the outer peripheral surface side, but it is not necessarily required to have the two thread shapes, and may be one thread or three threads or more. If the shape is such that the pull-out force can be obtained, the cross-sectional shape is not twisted along the axial direction, a net-shaped or striped knurled shape or a large number of protrusions parallel to the axial direction are provided in the circumferential direction. It may be a holding portion having a cross-sectional shape with irregularities on the surface.
上記各実施形態においては、硬質部としての保持部111およびくびれ部152は、遊技板50,200,300の前面51,201,301より前方側へ略0.3mm突出するようにして設けられていたが、必ずしも該突出量とする必要はないが、略0.1mm以上で0.5mmの範囲内とすることが好ましく、略0.2mmから略0.4mmの範囲に内とすることが好適である。また、遊技釘100,150が遊技板50,200,300に対して上方に傾けて取り付けられている場合には、硬質部の突出量は、上側部分で最小となるため、その最小部分において上記した突出量とすることが好ましい。
In each of the above-described embodiments, the holding portion 111 and the constricted portion 152 as the hard portion are provided so as to protrude from the front surfaces 51, 201, 301 of the game plates 50, 200, 300 by approximately 0.3 mm to the front side. However, it is not necessary to set the protrusion amount, but it is preferable that the protrusion amount is within a range of approximately 0.1 mm or more and 0.5 mm, and it is preferable that the protrusion amount is within a range of approximately 0.2 mm to approximately 0.4 mm.

Further, when the game nails 100, 150 are attached to the game plates 50, 200, 300 while being inclined upward, the protrusion amount of the hard portion is the smallest in the upper portion, and therefore the above-mentioned in the smallest portion. It is preferable to set the protrusion amount.
上記各実施形態においては、硬質部としての保持部111およびくびれ部152は、外形形状を形成する際の加工による塑性変形によって当接部より硬く形成したが、必ずしも形状を加工する際に硬く形成する必要はなく、他の方法により硬質部を形成しても良い。例えば、小径の鉄球を表面に衝突させて表面を硬化させるショットピーニング等の加工により表面を硬くしても良いし、または、遊技釘の軸部における遊技板の前面に対して前後に位置する範囲に母材としての黄銅より硬質な金属の膜または層を蒸着等により形成することで表面を硬くしても良い。この硬質部としての保持部111又はくびれ部152と、硬質部でない部位との境界は、境界線として一見して確認可能なように、稜線がくっきりと出るように形成したり、表面の色を異ならせたりして、境界線が確認可能にすることが好ましく、これにより、遊技板50,200,300の前面側における釘穴52,202,302の縁部分と、境界線との位置関係を容易に確認することができ、また、その縁部分と上記境界線とが重なることで見栄えは良質なものとすることができる。なお、上記各実施形態における締め代又は引き抜き力とは異なる締め代又は引き抜き力となるように釘穴52,202,302の内径と保持部111の外径との組合せとしつつ、遊技板の前面側に硬質部の一部をわずかに突出させる構成としても良く、この場合でも樹脂製の遊技板における遊技釘の調整作業を好適に行うことができる。また、樹脂製の遊技板の前面に着色されたシート状の装飾板(セル板)を配置したり、不透明な樹脂製の遊技板としたりして、遊技板の前面側から釘穴の内部に挿入された遊技釘の先端部を視認不能に構成しても良く、この場合には遊技板の前面より突出している硬質部としての保持部111の一部の突出を視認し易くすることができて、好ましい。
In each of the above embodiments, the holding portion 111 and the constricted portion 152 as the hard portion are formed to be harder than the abutting portion by the plastic deformation due to the processing when forming the outer shape, but they are not necessarily formed harder when processing the shape. The hard portion may be formed by another method. For example, the surface may be hardened by a process such as shot peening that causes a small-diameter iron ball to collide with the surface to harden the surface, or it may be located in front of and behind the front surface of the game board in the shaft portion of the game nail. The surface may be hardened by forming a film or layer of a metal harder than brass as a base material in the range by vapor deposition or the like. The boundary between the holding part 111 or the constricted part 152 as the hard part and the part that is not the hard part is formed so that the ridge line is clearly projected or the surface color is changed so that the boundary line can be seen at a glance. It is preferable to make it different so that the boundary line can be confirmed. As a result, the positional relationship between the edge part of the nail holes 52, 202, 302 on the front side of the game plates 50, 200, 300 and the boundary line can be confirmed. It can be easily confirmed, and the appearance can be improved by overlapping the edge portion and the boundary line. The front surface of the game board is a combination of the inner diameters of the nail holes 52, 202 and 302 and the outer diameter of the holding portion 111 so that the tightening margin or pulling force different from the tightening margin or pulling force in each of the above embodiments is obtained. A part of the hard portion may be slightly projected to the side, and even in this case, the adjustment work of the game nail on the resin game board can be suitably performed. In addition, a colored sheet-shaped decorative plate (cell plate) is placed on the front side of the resin game board, or an opaque resin game board is used, and the inside of the nail hole is inserted from the front side of the game board. The tip portion of the inserted game nail may be invisible, and in this case, it is possible to make it easy to visually recognize a part of the protrusion of the holding portion 111 as a hard portion protruding from the front surface of the game plate. Is preferable.
上記各実施形態においては、硬質部としての保持部111又はくびれ部152の一部が遊技板50,200,300の前面より前方側に突出する構成としたが、必ずしもこの構成とする必要がなく、硬質部は釘穴52,202,302内に完全に入り込んで配置しつつ、上記した締め代又は引き抜き力の設定とすることで、樹脂製の遊技板における遊技球の挙動は好適なものとすることができて好ましい。
In each of the above-described embodiments, the holding portion 111 as the hard portion or a part of the constricted portion 152 is configured to project to the front side from the front surface of the game plates 50, 200, 300, but it is not always necessary to adopt this configuration.

<特徴A群>
従来、遊技機の代表例としてパチンコ機がある。パチンコ機は、例えば、遊技球が流下する遊技領域を形成する遊技盤を備え、遊技領域には、遊技球が入賞した場合に遊技球が払い出される入賞口と、その入賞口へ遊技球を導く通路と入賞口に入賞しないでアウト口へ導く通路とを形成する多数の遊技釘が設けられている。多数の遊技釘は、遊技盤の外形を形成する遊技板に打ち込まれて固定されるものであり、この遊技板として、以前はベニヤ等の木材が用いられ、近年では樹脂製の板材または成形品も使用されている。特に透明樹脂製の遊技板を用いることで、遊技板の背面側に設けた発光体等の装飾部材を遊技者から視認可能とすることができ、装飾部品の設置領域を従来以上に拡大することができる(例えば、特開2008−161638号参照)。
<Feature A group>
Conventionally, there is a pachinko machine as a typical example of a game machine. The pachinko machine includes, for example, a game board that forms a game area in which the game balls flow down, and in the game area, a winning opening from which the game balls are paid out when the game balls are won and a game ball is guided to the winning opening. A large number of game nails that form a passage and a passage leading to the outlet without winning the prize are provided. A large number of game nails are driven and fixed to a game board that forms the outer shape of the game board. For this game board, wood such as veneer was used before, and in recent years, resin board materials or molded products. Is also used. In particular, by using a game board made of transparent resin, it is possible to make the decorative member such as a light emitting element provided on the back side of the game board visible to the player, and to expand the installation area of the decorative parts more than ever before. (For example, see JP-A-2008-161638).
しかしながら、樹脂製の遊技板に打ち込まれた遊技釘は、木製の遊技板に打ち込まれた遊技釘に比べて遊技釘を調整する感触が異なるものであり、従来通りには調整することができず、その調整をし過ぎると遊技釘が折れてしまうという問題点がある。
However, the game nail nailed into the resin game board has a different feel for adjusting the game nail compared to the game nail nailed into the wooden game board, and cannot be adjusted as usual. However, there is a problem that the game nail will break if the adjustment is done too much.

<Feature A1>
A game board made of resin (game boards 50, 200, 300) in which the game balls flow down on the front side, and game nails (game nails 100, 150) provided so that the front surface of the game board faces forward. In a gaming machine (pachinko machine 10) equipped with
The game nail continues from the front surface of the game board to the back surface side of the game board with a head (head 102) provided at the projecting end portion protruding to the front side and an outer diameter smaller than the outer diameter of the head. With a shaft portion (shaft portion 101, 151) formed to a length, the shaft from the front side of the game board with respect to a hole portion (nail holes 52, 202, 302) preformed in the game board. The part is inserted and held on the game board,
On the shaft portion, a holding portion (holding portion 111) formed to have a predetermined outer diameter that can be held in the hole of the game board,
A contact portion (contact portion 113), which is located on the front side of the front surface of the game plate and is in contact with the game ball, is provided.

特徴A1記載の遊技機によれば、樹脂製の遊技板における遊技釘の調整作業を好適に行うことができる。すなわち、遊技釘の硬質部が遊技板の前面に対して前後両側に位置するので、遊技板の前面における穴部の縁部分に遊技釘が接触することがあっても、その部位は当接部よりも硬質な部位である。よって、穴部の縁部分と遊技釘との当接による遊技釘の折損を抑制することができ、樹脂製の遊技板における遊技釘の調整作業を好適に行うことができる。
According to the gaming machine described in Feature A1, it is possible to suitably perform the adjustment work of the gaming nail on the gaming board made of resin. That is, since the hard part of the game nail is located on both front and rear sides with respect to the front surface of the game board, even if the game nail comes into contact with the edge portion of the hole on the front surface of the game board, that portion is the contact portion. It is a harder part. Therefore, the breakage of the game nail due to the contact between the edge portion of the hole and the game nail can be suppressed, and the adjustment work of the game nail on the resin game board can be suitably performed.
また、硬質部が遊技板の前面より僅かに突出した状態とされるため、硬質部と硬質部より軟質の部位との境界位置を視認することで遊技釘が規定位置にあるか否かを容易に確認することができ、遊技釘を規定位置に管理し易くすることができる。また、透明な遊技板とした場合には、硬質部の一部が遊技板の前面より前方側に突出していても、その突出量は僅かであり、また硬質部の全部が遊技板の前面より奥側にあっても硬質部が透視できるため、硬質部が完全に遊技板の前面より奥側に入り込んでいるものとの見た目に大差がない。よって、遊技機としての見栄えを従来における樹脂製の遊技板を用いた遊技機と同等としつつ、遊技釘を規定位置に管理しやすい遊技機とすることができ、一層遊技釘の調整作業を好適に行うことができる。
Also, since the hard part is slightly projected from the front surface of the game board, it is easy to see whether the game nail is in the specified position by visually recognizing the boundary position between the hard part and the part softer than the hard part. Can be confirmed, and it is possible to easily manage the game nail at the prescribed position. Also, in the case of a transparent game board, even if a part of the hard part projects forward from the front surface of the game board, the amount of projection is small, and the entire hard part from the front surface of the game board. Since the hard portion can be seen through even on the back side, there is no great difference in appearance with the hard portion completely entering the back side from the front surface of the game board. Therefore, while the appearance as a gaming machine can be made equal to that of the conventional gaming machine using the resin gaming board, it is possible to make the gaming machine easy to manage the gaming nail at the specified position, and the gaming nail adjusting work is more suitable. Can be done.
なお、特徴A1における硬質部が僅かに突出するとは、軸部の軸方向に沿った硬質部の長さに対して略5分の1以下の少量だけ突出するとしても良い。かかる構成とすることにより、硬質部を形成したことによる遊技釘の疲労強度等の耐久性を高く維持しつつ、遊技球の調整作業が容易な遊技機とすることができる。
The slight protrusion of the hard portion in the characteristic A1 may be a small amount of approximately one fifth or less of the length of the hard portion along the axial direction of the shaft portion. With such a configuration, the gaming machine can be easily adjusted while maintaining high durability such as the fatigue strength of the gaming nail due to the formation of the hard portion.
