That is, the first locking portion 33 passing through the groove portion 35a from below the holding member 35 is placed on the upper surface of the claw-shaped second locking portion 34, whereby the first locking portion 33 and the second locking portion 33 are placed. The movable decorative member 31 is held in the first position by engaging with the locking portion, and the holding member 35 is laterally moved (moved to the left in the embodiment) to move the upper surface of the second locking portion 34. The first locking portion 33 mounted on the above is disengaged, and the engagement between the first locking portion 33 and the second locking portion is released. In this way, the movable decorative member 31 has the first locking portion 33 and the second locking portion 33 in a posture in which the center of gravity is biased toward the hinge mechanism 25 side from the support shaft 32 (rotational support position) at the first position. It is held by engaging with 34, and the engagement between the first locking portion 33 and the second locking portion 34 is released, so that the movable decorative member 31 is centered on the support shaft 32 due to its own weight. It is configured to move to the second position.

ここで、保持部材３５は、当該保持部材３５とカバー部材３８(後述)との間に掛け渡した引張りバネ(付勢手段)３７によって第１の係止部３３と第２の係止部３４とが係合可能な係合位置へ向けて付勢されている。そして、第２の係止部３４の下面には、溝部３５ａの下側開口が下側に向かうにつれて拡開するように傾斜する傾斜面３４ａが形成されており、前枠１３に対して可動装飾部材３１を第２位置から持ち上げるようにして第１位置に移動する際には、第１の係止部３３が傾斜面３４ａに下側から当接することで保持部材３５が前記引張りバネ３７の付勢力に抗して第１の係止部３３と第２の係止部３４との係合が解除される解除位置に向けて移動し、傾斜面３４ａから第１の係止部３３が離脱することで、保持部材３５が引張バネ３７の付勢力によって係合位置に移動して第２の係止部３４と第１の係止部３３とが係合するよう構成される。すなわち、保持部材３５は、第１の係止部３３に第２の係止部３４が係合可能な係合位置と、第１の係止部３３および第２の係止部３４の係合が解除される解除位置に移動可能に構成されており。 Here, the holding member 35 has a first locking portion 33 and a second locking portion 34 by a tension spring (urging means) 37 that is hung between the holding member 35 and the cover member 38 (described later). Is urged toward an engaging position where and can be engaged. An inclined surface 34a is formed on the lower surface of the second locking portion 34 so that the lower opening of the groove 35a expands toward the lower side, and is movablely decorated with respect to the front frame 13. When the member 31 is moved from the second position to the first position, the first locking portion 33 abuts on the inclined surface 34a from below, so that the holding member 35 is attached to the tension spring 37. The first locking portion 33 moves toward the disengaging position where the engagement between the first locking portion 33 and the second locking portion 34 is released against the force, and the first locking portion 33 is separated from the inclined surface 34a. As a result, the holding member 35 is moved to the engaging position by the urging force of the tension spring 37, and the second locking portion 34 and the first locking portion 33 are configured to engage with each other. That is, the holding member 35 engages with the first locking portion 33 at an engaging position where the second locking portion 34 can engage with the first locking portion 33 and the second locking portion 34. Is configured to be movable to the release position where is released.

また、前記保持部材３５の前側には、可動装飾部材３１との間に位置するようカバー部材３８が設けられており、可動装飾部材３１の保持部材３５への接触を防止している。このカバー部材３８には、保持部材３５の溝部３５ａの形成位置に合わせて前後方向および下方に開放する溝部３８ａが設けられており、第１位置および第２の位置の間を可動装飾部材３１が移動する際に、当該可動装飾部材３１の第１の係止部３３がカバー部材３８に干渉しないようになっている。すなわち、中枠１２に対して前枠１３を閉鎖した状態において、前記第２位置から第１位置へ移動した可動装飾部材３１を保持部材３５で保持可能になっている。ここで、前記可動装飾部材３１には、前記支軸３２から偏倚した位置に後方へ向けて突出する第１の位置決め突部３１ａ(図５参照)が設けられると共に、前記カバー部材３８の前面には、前方へ向けて突出する第２の位置決め突部３８ｃ(図４参照)が当該第１の位置決め突部３１ａの回転軌跡上に位置するよう設けられており、可動装飾部材３１が第１位置から第２位置に移動した際に、第１の位置決め突部３１ａが第２の位置決め突部３８ｃに当接して可動装飾部材３１を回転規制するようになっている。すなわち、第１の位置決め突部３１ａと第２の位置決め突部３８ｃとの当接により可動装飾部材３１が前枠装飾部材３０等の他の構成部材に接触しないようにしてある。 Further, on the front side of the holding member 35, a cover member 38 is provided so as to be located between the movable decorative member 31 and the movable decorative member 31 to prevent the movable decorative member 31 from coming into contact with the holding member 35. The cover member 38 is provided with a groove 38a that opens in the front-rear direction and downward according to the formation position of the groove 35a of the holding member 35, and the movable decorative member 31 is provided between the first position and the second position. When moving, the first locking portion 33 of the movable decorative member 31 does not interfere with the cover member 38. That is, in a state where the front frame 13 is closed with respect to the middle frame 12, the movable decorative member 31 that has moved from the second position to the first position can be held by the holding member 35. Here, the movable decorative member 31 is provided with a first positioning protrusion 31a (see FIG. 5) that projects rearward at a position deviated from the support shaft 32, and is provided on the front surface of the cover member 38. Is provided so that the second positioning protrusion 38c (see FIG. 4) protruding forward is located on the rotation locus of the first positioning protrusion 31a, and the movable decorative member 31 is in the first position. When moving from the to the second position, the first positioning protrusion 31a abuts on the second positioning protrusion 38c to restrict the rotation of the movable decorative member 31. That is, the movable decorative member 31 is prevented from coming into contact with other constituent members such as the front frame decorative member 30 due to the contact between the first positioning protrusion 31a and the second positioning protrusion 38c.

また、前記前枠１３には、前記第１の係止部３３および第２の係止部３４の係合を解除可能な解除手段３６が設けられる。この解除手段３６は、前後方向に延在する棒状の部材であって、その中間位置に軸孔が形成されており、前枠１３に設けた軸部(図示せず)を軸孔に挿通することにより前枠１３に対して揺動可能に支持されている。この解除手段３６は、その後端が前枠１３の後面側に形成した操作窓１３ｃ(図３参照)を介して前枠１３の後方に露出すると共に、その前端が前記保持部材３５の右側面に当接するよう構成されている。すなわち、操作窓１３ｃを介して露出する解除手段３６の後端が店員等の作業者による操作を許容する操作部３６ａとして機能し、当該操作部３６を介して解除手段３６を揺動操作(解除操作)することにより、前記保持部材３５が係合位置から解除位置に移動し、これにより保持部材３５による可動装飾部材３１の保持が解除されることで、当該可動装飾部材３１の第２位置への移動を許容するようになっている。このように、解除手段３６の操作部３６ａは、中枠１２に対して前枠１３を開放することで操作可能になると共に、可動装飾部材３１を第２位置から第１位置に戻す際には、前記操作部３６ａを操作することなく第２の係止部３４に対して第１の係止部３３を係合させ得るようになっている。 Further, the front frame 13 is provided with a releasing means 36 capable of disengaging the first locking portion 33 and the second locking portion 34. The releasing means 36 is a rod-shaped member extending in the front-rear direction, and a shaft hole is formed at an intermediate position thereof, and a shaft portion (not shown) provided in the front frame 13 is inserted into the shaft hole. As a result, it is swingably supported with respect to the front frame 13. The rear end of the releasing means 36 is exposed to the rear of the front frame 13 via an operation window 13c (see FIG. 3) formed on the rear surface side of the front frame 13, and the front end thereof is on the right side surface of the holding member 35. It is configured to abut. That is, the rear end of the release means 36 exposed through the operation window 13c functions as an operation unit 36a that allows an operation by a worker such as a clerk, and the release means 36 is swung (released) via the operation unit 36. By performing the operation), the holding member 35 moves from the engaging position to the disengaging position, and the holding of the movable decorative member 31 by the holding member 35 is released, thereby moving to the second position of the movable decorative member 31. It is designed to allow the movement of. In this way, the operation unit 36a of the release means 36 can be operated by opening the front frame 13 with respect to the middle frame 12, and when the movable decorative member 31 is returned from the second position to the first position. The first locking portion 33 can be engaged with the second locking portion 34 without operating the operating portion 36a.

ここで、操作部３６ａの操作が可能となる前枠１３の開放角度は、第１位置の可動装飾部材３１が隣接する別のパチンコ機１０の構成部材(例えば前枠装飾部材３０等)に干渉しない角度であって、例えば閉鎖状態から２０度開いた角度に設定されるおり(図７参照)、可動装飾部材３１の第２位置への移動に伴って第１位置にある場合よりも前枠１３のヒンジ機構２５側の前面に空間Ｓが空くことにより当該前枠１３の開放可能角度が例えば７０度に拡大するようになっている(図８参照)。 Here, the opening angle of the front frame 13 that enables the operation of the operation unit 36a interferes with the constituent members (for example, the front frame decorative member 30 and the like) of another pachinko machine 10 adjacent to the movable decorative member 31 at the first position. The angle is set so that it is not closed, for example, 20 degrees open from the closed state (see FIG. 7), and the front frame is higher than the case where the movable decorative member 31 is in the first position as it moves to the second position. The openable angle of the front frame 13 is expanded to, for example, 70 degrees by leaving a space S in front of the hinge mechanism 25 side of the 13 (see FIG. 8).

また、図３〜図５に示す如く、前記前枠１３には、前記可動装飾部材３１の第１位置および第２位置の間の変位に伴って検出位置および非検出位置の間で変位する検出部材４０が設けられると共に、当該検出部材４０が検出位置に位置することを検出可能なフォトセンサ等の位置検出センサ(位置検出手段)３９が設けられている。なお、この実施例では、前記カバー部材３８の後面側(前枠１３側に向く面側)に検出部材４０と位置検出センサ３９が取り付けられている。 Further, as shown in FIGS. 3 to 5, the front frame 13 is detected to be displaced between the detection position and the non-detection position with the displacement between the first position and the second position of the movable decorative member 31. Along with the provision of the member 40, a position detection sensor (position detection means) 39 such as a photo sensor capable of detecting that the detection member 40 is located at the detection position is provided. In this embodiment, the detection member 40 and the position detection sensor 39 are attached to the rear surface side (the surface side facing the front frame 13 side) of the cover member 38.

ここで、検出部材４０は、前記カバー部材３８に対して前後方向に延在する回転軸(図示せず)を中心に回動可能に支持されて、一方の端部に前記位置検出センサ３９で検出可能な検出片４０ａが設けられている。そして、この図示しないバネ等の付勢部材により位置検出センサ３９で検出片４０ａが検出されない非検出位置へ向けて検出部材４０を付勢するようになっている。この実施例では、回転軸に巻き掛けた付勢部材としてのトーションバネにより検出部材４０を非検出位置へ向けて付勢している。 Here, the detection member 40 is rotatably supported around a rotation axis (not shown) extending in the front-rear direction with respect to the cover member 38, and is supported by the position detection sensor 39 at one end. A detectable detection piece 40a is provided. Then, the detection member 40 is urged toward a non-detection position where the detection piece 40a is not detected by the position detection sensor 39 by the urging member such as a spring (not shown). In this embodiment, the detection member 40 is urged toward the non-detection position by a torsion spring as an urging member wound around the rotating shaft.

また、検出部材４０には、検出片４０ａと反対側の端部に前方へ突出するよう当接部４０ｂが設けられている。この当接部４０ｂは、前記カバー部材３８に設けた挿通孔３８ｂを介してカバー部材３８の前面側(可動装飾部材３１の配置側)に突出するようになっている。そして、可動装飾部材３１には、前記支軸３２を中心として第２位置から第１位置へ向けて回転させた際に前記当接部４０ｂに下方から当接するよう押上部４１が設けられている。すなわち、可動装飾部材３１を第２位置から第１位置に向けて移動した際に、押上部４１が検出部材４０の当接部４０ｂに当接して押し上げることで、検出片４０ａが位置検出センサ３９で検出される検出位置に検出部材４０が変位し、可動装飾部材３１が第１位置から第２位置に向けて移動する際に押上部４１が当接部４０ｂから離間することで、付勢部材の付勢によって検出片４０ａが位置検出センサ３９で検出されない非検出位置に検出部材４０が変位するよう構成される。すなわち、可動装飾部材３１が第１位置にあるか否かを、検出部材４０を介して間接的に位置検出センサ３９で判別し得るよう構成されている。また、前記位置検出センサ３９は前記制御基板に接続されており、当該位置検出センサ３９が非検出の状態(可動装飾部材３１が第２位置にある状態)において、可動装飾部材３１のランプを所定の発光態様(例えば赤色)で発光させて第２位置にあることを報知するようになっている。 Further, the detection member 40 is provided with a contact portion 40b so as to project forward at an end portion opposite to the detection piece 40a. The contact portion 40b projects to the front side (arrangement side of the movable decorative member 31) of the cover member 38 through the insertion hole 38b provided in the cover member 38. The movable decorative member 31 is provided with a push-up portion 41 so as to come into contact with the contact portion 40b from below when rotated from the second position to the first position around the support shaft 32. .. That is, when the movable decorative member 31 is moved from the second position to the first position, the push-up portion 41 abuts on the contact portion 40b of the detection member 40 and pushes it up, so that the detection piece 40a is the position detection sensor 39. The detection member 40 is displaced to the detection position detected in the above, and when the movable decorative member 31 moves from the first position to the second position, the push-up portion 41 is separated from the contact portion 40b, whereby the urging member The detection member 40 is configured to be displaced to a non-detection position where the detection piece 40a is not detected by the position detection sensor 39 due to the urging of. That is, it is configured so that whether or not the movable decorative member 31 is in the first position can be indirectly determined by the position detection sensor 39 via the detection member 40. Further, the position detection sensor 39 is connected to the control board, and when the position detection sensor 39 is not detected (the movable decorative member 31 is in the second position), the lamp of the movable decorative member 31 is predetermined. It is designed to emit light in the light emitting mode (for example, red) of the above to notify that it is in the second position.

また、実施例の可動装飾部材３１は、当該可動装飾部材３１の回転移動を制限可能な移動制限手段５０,５１を備えている。この移動制限手段は、抵抗手段としてのステッピングモータ５０と、当該ステッピングモータ５０を可動装飾部材３１に繋ぐ減速機構５１とから構成されている。なお、このステッピングモータ５０は、電源に接続しない状態で前記カバー部材３８の後面に配設されている。この減速機構５１は、ステッピングモータ５０の駆動軸に取り付けられたピニオンギア５２と、可動装飾部材３１の支軸に固定されて可動装飾部材３１と一体的に回転する支軸固定ギア５３とを複数のギア５４で接続した所謂並行歯車減速機構である。この減速機構５１は、可動装飾部材３１が第１位置から第２位置までの間を回転移動(実施例では支軸固定ギア５３が約９０度回転)する間にピニオンギア５２が複数回転(例えば３０回転)するようにギア比が設定されている。すなわち、可動装飾部材３１が第１位置から第２位置に向けて移動する際および第２位置から第１位置に向けて移動する際に、静止状態のステッピングモータ５０の回転子が強制的に回転されることにより当該可動装飾部材３１の移動の抵抗となることで、その移動を制限するよう構成されている。 Further, the movable decorative member 31 of the embodiment includes movement limiting means 50, 51 capable of restricting the rotational movement of the movable decorative member 31. The movement limiting means includes a stepping motor 50 as a resistance means and a speed reduction mechanism 51 that connects the stepping motor 50 to the movable decorative member 31. The stepping motor 50 is arranged on the rear surface of the cover member 38 in a state where it is not connected to a power source. The reduction mechanism 51 includes a plurality of pinion gears 52 attached to the drive shaft of the stepping motor 50, and a support shaft fixed gear 53 fixed to the support shaft of the movable decorative member 31 and rotating integrally with the movable decorative member 31. It is a so-called parallel gear reduction mechanism connected by the gear 54 of the above. In the speed reduction mechanism 51, the pinion gear 52 rotates a plurality of times (for example, while the movable decorative member 31 rotates between the first position and the second position (in the embodiment, the support shaft fixed gear 53 rotates about 90 degrees). The gear ratio is set so as to rotate (30 rotations). That is, when the movable decorative member 31 moves from the first position to the second position and from the second position to the first position, the rotor of the stationary stepping motor 50 is forcibly rotated. By doing so, it becomes a resistance to the movement of the movable decorative member 31, and is configured to limit the movement.

(実施例の作用)
次に、実施例に係るパチンコ機１０の作用について説明する。 (Action of Example)
Next, the operation of the pachinko machine 10 according to the embodiment will be described.

実施例のパチンコ機１０では、前記前枠１３の前面側に立体的で大型の前枠装飾部材３０および可動装飾部材３１を配設しているので、装飾性を高めることにより訴求力を向上することができ、パチンコ機１０の稼働率を高めることができる。また、前記前枠１３の前面側に位置して左右方向に延在する可動装飾部材３１は、その略全体が前枠１３に重なる第１位置から透視保護部１３ｂの前側に重なるように垂れ下がる第２位置に移動可能に構成している。そして、図３、図７に示す如く、第１位置において前枠１３の前面側に位置する可動装飾部材３１を第２位置へ移動させた際に、第１位置にある場合よりも前枠１３のヒンジ機構２５側の前面に空間Ｓが空くようにしたので、図８に示す如く、前枠１３を開放した際に隣接する他のパチンコ機１０の構成部材に干渉し難くして、前枠１３の開放可能角度を拡大することができる。このように、前枠１３の前面側で可動装飾部材３１を第１位置および第２位置に移動可能にすることで前枠１３の開放可能角度を拡大(例えば２０度から７０度)することができるから、前枠１３の前面側に配置する可動装飾部材３１の形態や大きさ、デザインなどの自由度を高めることができ、所望の装飾効果を実現することが可能になる。これにより、前枠１３の前面に配置する装飾部材の自由度を高めることができる。 In the pachinko machine 10 of the embodiment, since the three-dimensional and large front frame decorative member 30 and the movable decorative member 31 are arranged on the front side of the front frame 13, the appealing power is improved by enhancing the decorativeness. This makes it possible to increase the operating rate of the pachinko machine 10. Further, the movable decorative member 31 located on the front side of the front frame 13 and extending in the left-right direction hangs down from the first position where substantially the entire portion overlaps the front frame 13 so as to overlap the front side of the fluoroscopic protection portion 13b. It is configured to be movable in two positions. Then, as shown in FIGS. 3 and 7, when the movable decorative member 31 located on the front side of the front frame 13 in the first position is moved to the second position, the front frame 13 is more than in the case where it is in the first position. Since the space S is provided in front of the hinge mechanism 25 side of the above, as shown in FIG. 8, when the front frame 13 is opened, it is difficult for the space S to interfere with other components of the adjacent pachinko machine 10, and the front frame The openable angle of 13 can be expanded. In this way, by making the movable decorative member 31 movable to the first position and the second position on the front side of the front frame 13, the openable angle of the front frame 13 can be expanded (for example, from 20 degrees to 70 degrees). Therefore, it is possible to increase the degree of freedom in the form, size, design, etc. of the movable decorative member 31 arranged on the front side of the front frame 13, and it is possible to realize a desired decorative effect. As a result, the degree of freedom of the decorative member arranged on the front surface of the front frame 13 can be increased.

前記パチンコ機１０において、球詰まり等のトラブルや部品の交換、釘調整などに対処するために前記前枠１３を開放する場合は、前記施錠装置２８の錠操作部２８ａの鍵穴から差し込んだ鍵を他方へ回転させて、前記中枠被係合部に対する中枠係合部の係合を解除することで、前枠１３と中枠１２とを開錠する。そして、前枠１３を、前記ヒンジ機構２５を中心として手前側に回動して中枠１２に対して操作許容角度だけ開放する。この状態で、図３に示す如く、前記前枠１３の裏側に位置する前記解除手段３６の操作部３６ａへのアクセスが可能となるので、該操作部３６ａを操作して前記保持部材３５を解除位置に移動させることで、前記第１の係止部３３と第２の係止部３４との係合が解除され、前記可動装飾部材３１を第１位置から第２位置へ移動することができる。このように、施錠装置２８の解錠操作後に可動装飾部材３１の第２位置への移動を許容する解除手段３６の操作を前枠１３の開放に伴って可能にすることで、遊技中などに供されている間に不用意に可動装飾部材３１が第２位置に移動するのを防止できる。 In the pachinko machine 10, when opening the front frame 13 in order to deal with troubles such as ball clogging, replacement of parts, adjustment of nails, etc., the key inserted from the keyhole of the lock operation unit 28a of the locking device 28 is inserted. The front frame 13 and the middle frame 12 are unlocked by rotating to the other side to release the engagement of the middle frame engaging portion with the middle frame engaged portion. Then, the front frame 13 is rotated toward the front side around the hinge mechanism 25 to open the front frame 13 by an operation allowable angle with respect to the middle frame 12. In this state, as shown in FIG. 3, access to the operation unit 36a of the release means 36 located on the back side of the front frame 13 becomes possible, so the operation unit 36a is operated to release the holding member 35. By moving to the position, the engagement between the first locking portion 33 and the second locking portion 34 is released, and the movable decorative member 31 can be moved from the first position to the second position. .. In this way, by enabling the operation of the unlocking means 36 that allows the movable decorative member 31 to move to the second position after the unlocking operation of the locking device 28 with the opening of the front frame 13, during a game or the like. It is possible to prevent the movable decorative member 31 from inadvertently moving to the second position while being provided.

前記球詰まり等のトラブルや部品の交換、部品調整などの作業が終了した後、前記前枠１３を閉鎖する際に、前記可動装飾部材３１を第２位置から第１位置に移動すると、前記位置検出センサ３９が検出片４０ａを検出しない状態から検出する状態となり、該位置検出センサ３９における検出の状態の切り替わりを契機として、可動装飾部材３１の位置の状況を判別可能になっている。すなわち、可動装飾部材３１が第１位置にあるかを位置検出センサ３９により検出可能にすることで、可動装飾部材３１が第２位置にある状態で遊技に供されるのを防止できる。 When the movable decorative member 31 is moved from the second position to the first position when the front frame 13 is closed after the troubles such as ball clogging, the replacement of parts, and the adjustment of parts are completed, the position is described. The detection sensor 39 changes from the state in which the detection piece 40a is not detected to the state in which the detection piece 40a is detected, and the state of the position of the movable decorative member 31 can be determined by switching the detection state in the position detection sensor 39. That is, by making it possible for the position detection sensor 39 to detect whether the movable decorative member 31 is in the first position, it is possible to prevent the movable decorative member 31 from being used in the game in the second position.

また、解除手段３６の解除操作により支軸３２を中心として可動装飾部材３１を自重で回動させて第２位置に移動するようにした。このため前枠１３を開放する際に、可動装飾部材３１を簡単に第２位置に移動させることができるから、前枠１３の開放作業性が損なわれることがなく、可動装飾部材３１の形態や大きさ、デザインなどの自由度を高めることが可能になる。また、可動装飾部材３１の第１位置から第２位置への移動時に移動制限手段５０,５１が抵抗となってその移動制限するようにしたことで、解除操作により自重で回動する可動装飾部材３１の勢いを抑制することができる。同様に、可動装飾部材３１の第２位置から第１位置への移動時に移動制限手段５０,５１が抵抗となってその移動制限することで、前枠１３を開放して作業を行っている間に可動装飾部材３１が不用意に第１位置に向けて戻る(移動する)のを抑制でき、第２位置にある可動装飾部材３１により作業性が損なわれるのを防止できる。 Further, by the release operation of the release means 36, the movable decorative member 31 is rotated by its own weight around the support shaft 32 to move to the second position. Therefore, when the front frame 13 is opened, the movable decorative member 31 can be easily moved to the second position, so that the opening workability of the front frame 13 is not impaired, and the form of the movable decorative member 31 and the form of the movable decorative member 31 It is possible to increase the degree of freedom in size and design. Further, when the movable decorative member 31 is moved from the first position to the second position, the movement limiting means 50 and 51 act as a resistor to limit the movement, so that the movable decorative member rotates by its own weight by the release operation. The momentum of 31 can be suppressed. Similarly, when the movable decorative member 31 is moved from the second position to the first position, the movement limiting means 50, 51 act as a resistance to limit the movement, so that the front frame 13 is opened during the work. It is possible to prevent the movable decorative member 31 from inadvertently returning (moving) toward the first position, and it is possible to prevent the movable decorative member 31 at the second position from impairing workability.

更に、前枠１３を閉鎖した後に可動装飾部材３１を第２位置から第１位置に移動して保持部材で保持し得るようにしたことで、前枠１３の開放を必要とする作業の後に可動装飾部材３１を第１位置に戻す作業をスムーズに行うことが可能になる。また、可動装飾部材３１は、前枠１３を開放した状態でも第２位置から第１位置に移動して保持部材で保持し得るから、パチンコ機１０を元の状態(前枠１３が閉鎖され、可動装飾部材３１が第１位置にある状態)に戻す手順の自由度が高く、作業性を良好にし得る。 Further, after closing the front frame 13, the movable decorative member 31 can be moved from the second position to the first position and held by the holding member, so that the movable decorative member 31 can be moved after the work requiring the opening of the front frame 13. The work of returning the decorative member 31 to the first position can be smoothly performed. Further, since the movable decorative member 31 can move from the second position to the first position and be held by the holding member even when the front frame 13 is open, the pachinko machine 10 can be held in the original state (the front frame 13 is closed, and the front frame 13 is closed. There is a high degree of freedom in the procedure for returning the movable decorative member 31 to the first position), and workability can be improved.

(変更例)
遊技機としては、前述したものに限らず、種々の変更が可能である。
(１) 実施例では、可動装飾部材を、前枠に対して移動可能に支持する構成で説明したが、該可動装飾部材は、中枠や外枠に移動可能に支持される構成であってもよい。例えば、可動装飾部材を中枠に対して水平方向の軸回りに回転可能に支持し、第１位置では前枠の前面側に位置する可動装飾部材を、水平方向の軸回りに回転して前枠の前面側から上方に離間する第２位置に移動する構成を採用することができる。この構成によれば、第１位置では前枠の前面側に可動装飾部材が位置して装飾性を高めることができると共に、第２位置では前枠を支障なく開放することができると共に、前枠を隣接する他の遊技機に干渉することなく大きく開放することができる。
(２) 実施例のパチンコ機では、可動装飾部材を、ヒンジ機構側の端部が下向きとなるように回動して第２位置に移動したが、ヒンジ機構側の端部が上向きとなるように回動して第２位置に移動する構成を採用できる。この構成においても、前枠におけるヒンジ機構側の前面側に可動装飾部材の厚み分の空間が空くので、可動装飾部材が隣接するパチンコ機に干渉することなく前枠を開放することができる。なお、第２位置においてヒンジ機構側の端部が上向きとなるよう可動装飾部材を移動する構成では、中枠や前枠に、可動装飾部材を第２位置にロック可能なロック手段を設ければ、可動装飾部材を支え持ったまま前枠を開閉する必要はなくなる。
(３) 実施例では、移動制限手段としてステッピングモータと歯車減速機構とから構成したが、これに限られるものではなく、例えばロータリー型のオイルダンパーやバネ等を用いて可動装飾部材の第２位置から第１位置への移動を制限することも可能である。また、可動装飾部材の第１位置から第２位置への移動および第２位置から第１位置の夫々を移動制限手段で抑制するようにしたが、何れか一方への移動のみを抑制するようにすることも可能である。
(４) また、実施例では、可動装飾部材の第２位置から第１位置への移動時の抵抗となるように移動制限手段が機能するようにしたが、第１位置で可動装飾部材を保持する保持部材のように、可動装飾部材を第２位置で保持可能な保持部材を移動制限手段として設けて、可動装飾部材の第２位置から第１位置への移動を規制するようにし、当該第２保持部材による保持を解除することで可動装飾部材を第１位置に移動可能になるようにすることもできる。
(５) 実施例では、前枠を開放することで操作部を操作可能になるよう構成したが、例えば操作窓を前枠の上面に開口するよう設けて前枠を閉じた状態で操作部を操作可能にすることもできる。このようにすることで、可動装飾部材を移動するのに前枠を開放する作業が省略できる利点がある。この場合は、操作窓を開閉可能な蓋部材等で塞ぐようにすれば、遊技者等による操作部の誤操作を防止できる。
(６) 遊技機としては、パチンコ機に限られるものではなく、アレンジボール機やパチンコ球を用いたスロットマシン等、その他各種の遊技機であってもよい。 (Change example)

It is possible to adopt a configuration in which the device rotates to the second position. Also in this configuration, since a space corresponding to the thickness of the movable decorative member is provided on the front side of the front frame on the hinge mechanism side, the front frame can be opened without the movable decorative member interfering with the adjacent pachinko machine. In the configuration in which the movable decorative member is moved so that the end on the hinge mechanism side faces upward in the second position, if the middle frame or the front frame is provided with a locking means capable of locking the movable decorative member in the second position. , It is no longer necessary to open and close the front frame while supporting the movable decorative member.
(3) In the embodiment, the stepping motor and the gear reduction mechanism are configured as the movement limiting means, but the present invention is not limited to this, and for example, a rotary type oil damper, a spring, or the like is used to position the second position of the movable decorative member. It is also possible to limit the movement from to the first position. Further, the movement of the movable decorative member from the first position to the second position and each of the second position to the first position are suppressed by the movement restricting means, but only the movement to either one is suppressed. It is also possible to do.
(4) Further, in the embodiment, the movement limiting means functions so as to be a resistance when the movable decorative member moves from the second position to the first position, but the movable decorative member is held at the first position. A holding member capable of holding the movable decorative member in the second position is provided as a movement restricting means, and the movement of the movable decorative member from the second position to the first position is restricted. 2 It is also possible to make the movable decorative member movable to the first position by releasing the holding by the holding member.
(5) In the embodiment, the operation unit can be operated by opening the front frame. For example, the operation unit is opened with the operation window opened on the upper surface of the front frame and the operation unit is closed. It can also be made operable. By doing so, there is an advantage that the work of opening the front frame can be omitted for moving the movable decorative member. In this case, if the operation window is closed with a lid member or the like that can be opened and closed, it is possible to prevent an erroneous operation of the operation unit by a player or the like.
(6) The gaming machine is not limited to the pachinko machine, and may be various other gaming machines such as an arrange ball machine and a slot machine using a pachinko ball.
