The back pack unit is rotatably supported by the bearing.

Further, as shown in FIG. 3, a rod-shaped handle hd is attached to the upper end side of the resin base 31 of the inner frame 30 on the back surface side. The handle hd is projected toward the back surface side of the resin base 31, and is formed so as to be grippable. Therefore, by gripping the handle hd, the inner frame 30 (game machine main portion 20) can be efficiently conveyed. The upper frame 11 of the outer frame 10 is provided with a recess 11a capable of accommodating the handle hd, and a sealing plate 11b covering the area corresponding to the recess 11a is arranged on the lower surface of the upper frame 11. It is installed (see FIGS. 1 and 2).

Next, with reference to FIGS. 5 to 24, a connecting structure for connecting the outer frame 10 and the gaming machine main portion 20 so as to be openable and closable will be described. First, the outline of the connecting structure will be described with reference to FIGS. 5 and 6.

FIG. 5 is a perspective view of the outer frame 10 and the inner frame 30, showing a state in which the inner frame 30 is removed from the outer frame 10 and a part of the connecting structure is disassembled. FIG. 6 is a perspective view of the inner frame 30, and shows a state in which the main shaft side supported member 35 is opened with respect to the inner frame 30. In FIGS. 5 and 6, the front door 40, the back pack unit, and the like are not shown. Further, in FIG. 5, the front side of the outer frame 10 and the inner frame 30 is shown, and in FIG. 6, the back side of the inner frame 30 is shown.

The connecting structure includes an outer frame side connecting member 15 and an outer frame side engaging member 16 arranged on the outer frame 10, a main part side connecting member 32 and a main part side shafted support member arranged on the inner frame 30. The outer frame is provided with 35, and the main portion side connecting member 32 is connected (engaged) to the outer frame side connecting member 15, and the main portion side locked member 35 is connected (engaged) to the outer frame side engaging member 16. An inner frame 30 (game machine main part 20, see FIG. 2) is connected to 10 so as to be openable and closable and detachable.

Therefore, as described above, after the outer frame 10 is attached to the wooden frame of the island equipment after adjusting the inclination angle, it is left in the wooden frame of the island equipment, for example, when the new pachinko machine 1 is replaced. The outer frame 10 of the old model can be used to install the game machine main unit 20 of the new model. As a result, it is not necessary to adjust the tilt angle of the pachinko machine 1, and the man-hours required for replacing the new machine can be reduced.

In this case, when assembling the gaming machine main portion 20 to the outer frame 10, the gaming machine main portion 20 is arranged in front of the outer frame 10 (see FIG. 2), and the gaming machine main portion 20 is removed from that state. By pushing straight toward the frame 10 in a straight line direction, the connecting structure is brought into a connected state, and the gaming machine main portion 20 can be connected to the outer frame 10 so as to be openable and closable. Further, when the gaming machine main portion 20 is removed from the outer frame 10, the gaming machine main portion 20 can be pulled out straight from the outer frame 10 in a straight line direction after the connection structure is set to the released state. Therefore, it is possible to improve workability when attaching / detaching (assembling / removing) the gaming machine main portion 20 to / from the outer frame 10.

Further, when the main part 20 of the gaming machine is designed as a new model, the outer frame 10 (that is, the old one) is used for the support shaft 34 that pivotally supports the support metal fitting 33 of the inner frame 30 and the shaft-supported member 35 on the main part side. It is not necessary to consider the relationship with the outer frame 10) as a model, and the degree of freedom in its design can be increased. That is, since the main portion side connecting member 32 constitutes a support structure that can rotate with the outer frame side connecting member 15 on the outer frame 10 side, it is necessary to consider the relationship with the outer frame 10. There are restrictions on the design. On the other hand, in the present embodiment, it is sufficient that the main portion side shaft support member 35 has a structure capable of being connected (engaged) with the outer frame side engaging member 16 on the outer frame 10 side. It is not necessary to design the support shaft 34 in relation to the outer frame 10 (outer frame side engaging member 16). Therefore, the degree of freedom in design can be ensured. As a result, for example, the design of the front door 40 in the vicinity of the support shaft 34 can be improved.

Since the main portion side shaft support member 35 is rotatably supported with respect to the support metal fitting 33 of the inner frame 30 via the support shaft 34, the main portion side shaft support member 35 is shown in FIG. As shown in the above, the inner frame 30 can be rotated relative to the inner frame 30 to be in an open state. That is, since the arrangement relationship between the inner frame 30 and the shaft-supported member 35 on the main portion side can be substantially in a character shape, the inner frame 30 is alone (that is, separated from the outer frame 10). Also) can be self-reliant. Similarly, the gaming machine main portion 20 can be made to stand on its own by using the shaft-supported member 35 on the main portion side.

Here, if the gaming machine main portion 20 is connected to the outer frame 10 (see FIG. 1), the pachinko machine 1 can be made independent by using the bottom surface of the lower frame body 12 of the outer frame 10. Is. However, in a state where the gaming machine main portion 20 is separated from the outer frame 10 (see FIG. 2), the outer frame 10 can be similarly self-supporting, but the gaming machine main portion 20 has a sufficient area. Since it does not have a flat bottom surface, it cannot stand on its own.

In this case, in the structure in which the bottom surface of the resin base 31 of the inner frame 30 is formed as a flat surface in order to make the inner frame 30 self-supporting, the vicinity of the bottom surface is partially thickened, resulting in molding defects during molding of the resin base 31. Is easy to invite. Further, when a flat surface is formed, the arrangement space of the substrate device and the like is reduced by that amount.

On the other hand, in the present embodiment, the configuration (main portion side shafted support member 35) required as a connecting element with the outer frame side engaging member 16 arranged on the outer frame 10 has a role for independence. Can also be used. Therefore, it is possible to reduce the cost of parts by eliminating the need for adding new parts. Further, since it is not necessary to add a flat surface to the bottom surface of the resin base 31, its moldability can be ensured.

Next, the detailed configuration of each part constituting the connected structure will be described with reference to FIGS. 5 and 6. As shown in FIG. 5, the outer frame side connecting member 15 is arranged at the connecting portion of the upper frame body 11 and the left frame body 13 of the outer frame 10, and is formed so as to project toward the inner frame 30. Here, the outer frame side connecting member 15 will be described with reference to FIG. 7.

It is mainly composed of an extension plate 15c to be provided and a shaft-shaped connecting shaft portion 15d fixed to the extension tip of the extension plate 15c.

The top plate 15a and the side plate 15b are plate-shaped members that are fastened and fixed to the upper frame 11 and the left frame 13 (see FIG. 5) of the outer frame 10 by fastening screws, respectively, and are for inserting the fastening screws. Insertion holes are drilled at two locations each. The extension plate 15c is extended toward the front side (inner frame 30 side, see FIG. 5) of the outer frame 10 in the state of being attached to the outer frame 10, and the connecting shaft portion 15d is the lower surface of the extension plate 15c. It is thrust downward from.

The connecting shaft portion 15d is arranged coaxially with the support shaft 34 of the inner frame 30 (the shaft that pivotally supports the main portion side shaft support member 35 on the support metal fitting 33). Further, in the outer frame connecting member 15, a plate-like body made of a single metal material is punched into a predetermined outer shape by press working, and the punched material is bent between the top plate 15a and the side plate 15b. It is formed by press-fitting and fixing the connecting shaft portion 15d to the extending plate 15c. When punching a plate-shaped body, an insertion hole is formed at the same time as the outer shape is formed.

In the present embodiment, the outer frame side connecting member 15 serves as a strength member for connecting the upper frame body 11 and the left frame body 13 to form the outer frame 10, and the inner frame 30 is attached to the outer frame 10. Also serves as a part of the connecting structure for connecting the two to be detachable and openable. As a result, the product cost can be reduced.

It will be described back to FIGS. 5 and 6. As shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, the main portion side connecting member 32 is arranged at the upper end portion of the inner frame 30 on the rotation base end side (left side of FIG. 5), and is arranged on the opposite side (that is, the front surface) of the outer frame 10. It is fastened and fixed to the resin base 31 with a fastening screw in a state of projecting toward the door 40 side (see FIG. 1). As shown in FIG. 5, the main portion side connecting member 32 is composed of a cover member 50 and a retaining member 60. Here, with reference to FIGS. 8 and 9, the cover member 50 and the retaining member 60 constituting the main portion side connecting member 32 will be described.

8 (a) is a top view of the cover member 50, FIG. 8 (b) is a sectional view of the cover member 50 in the line VIIIb-VIIIb of FIG. 8 (a), and FIG. 8 (c) is a sectional view of the cover member 50. It is a front view of the cover member 50 in the direction view of arrow VIIIc of FIG. 8A. Note that, in FIGS. 8 (a) to 8 (c), for convenience, the resin base 31 is shown only in FIG. 8 (b), and the resin base 31 is omitted in FIGS. 8 (a) and 8 (c). Will be done.

As shown in FIGS. 8A to 8C, the cover member 50 includes a top plate 51, a bottom plate 52 arranged to face the top plate 51 at a predetermined distance from the top plate 51, and the top plate 51 and the top plate 51 thereof. It is composed of a connection plate 53 that connects the edges of the bottom plate 52 to each other.

The top plate 51 is a trapezoid whose width dimension (horizontal dimension in FIG. 8A) decreases toward the direction away from the connection plate 53 (downward in FIG. 8A) in the top view shown in FIG. 8A. Formed into a shape. Further, the upper surface plate 51 is formed in a stepped shape having a step in the side view shown in FIG. 8 (b), with respect to the upper surface plate base portion 51a which is a portion to be the connection plate 53 side (the bottom side of the trapezoidal shape). The upper surface plate tip portion 51b, which is a portion opposite to the connection plate 53 (upper side of the trapezoidal shape), is raised one step. A retaining member 60 (see FIG. 9) is disposed on the lower surface side (lower side of FIG. 8B) of the upper surface plate tip portion 51b.

As shown in FIGS. 8A and 8B, the top plate 51 has a guide groove 54 extending linearly, branching from the middle of the guide groove 54, and orthogonal to the guide groove 54. An opening is formed with the branch groove 55 extending linearly in the direction.

The guide groove 54 is a portion for receiving and coaxially supporting the connecting shaft portion 15d of the outer frame side connecting member 15 arranged on the outer frame 10 when connecting the outer frame 10 and the inner frame 30. The end of the guide groove 54 (lower end of FIG. 8A) is a support shaft 34 (FIG. 7) in which the connecting shaft portion 15d (see FIG. 7) of the received outer frame side connecting member 15 is arranged on the inner frame 30. It is set at a position coaxially supporting the axis (see 5). Further, the extending direction (straight direction) of the guide groove 54 is a direction perpendicular to the frame surface of the inner frame 30.

The bottom plate 52 is formed in a triangular shape in which the width dimension (FIG. 8 (c) left-right dimension) decreases toward the direction away from the connection plate 53 (FIG. 8 (c) on the front side of the paper surface) (see FIG. 4). As shown in FIG. 8B, a shaft hole 52a for pivotally supporting the support shaft (not shown) of the front door 40 is bored on the tip side thereof. Further, the connection plate 53 is provided with insertion holes for inserting the fastening screws at two places.

The resin base 31 is formed through an opening 31a that allows the back side (right side of FIG. 8B) and the front side (left side of FIG. 8B) to communicate with each other, and the cover member 50 is formed in the opening 31a. The bottom plate 52 of the is inserted. That is, as shown in FIG. 8B, the cover member 50 is mounted from the back side of the resin base 31 while the bottom plate 52 is inserted into the opening 31a, and the fastening screw is inserted through the insertion hole of the connection plate 53. Is fastened and fixed to the resin base 31.

In the state where the cover member 50 is attached to the resin base 31, as shown in FIG. 8B, the upper surface plate tip portion 51b of the upper surface plate 51 and the shaft hole 52a forming portion of the bottom plate 52 are at least the front surface of the resin base 31. It is projected to the side (left side in FIG. 8B). As a result, the support shaft (not shown) of the front door 40 can be pivotally supported in the shaft hole 52a of the bottom plate 52, and the front door 40 is rotatably supported with respect to the inner frame 30 by this shaft support. NS.

As described above, since the member of the front door 40 (the member on which the support shaft is arranged) is arranged on the upper surface of the bottom plate 52, the retaining member 60 (see FIG. 9) is the upper surface plate of the upper surface plate 51. It is sandwiched and held between the facing surfaces of the lower surface side of the front portion 51a and the upper surface side of the member of the front door 40.

In the cover member 51, a plate-like body made of a single metal material is punched into a predetermined outer shape by press working, and the punched material is punched into a predetermined portion (between the upper surface plate base portion 51a and the upper surface plate tip portion 51b). It is formed by bending (between the top plate 51 and the connection plate 53 and between the bottom plate 52 and the connection plate 53). When punching the plate-shaped body, the openings of the grooves 54 and 55 in the upper surface plate 51 and the insertion holes in the connection plate 53 are formed at the same time as the outer shape is formed.

9 (a) is a top view of the retaining member 60, and FIG. 9 (b) is a cross-sectional view of the retaining member 60 in the IXb-IXb line of FIG. 9 (a). As shown in FIGS. 9A and 9B, the retaining member 60 includes a box-shaped case body 61 having an open upper surface side (front side of the paper surface in FIG. 9A) and the inside of the case body 61. It is configured to include a slide piece 62 movably arranged on the slide piece 62 and a coil spring 63 for applying an urging force to the slide piece 62.

The case body 61 includes a guide passage 61a, a shaft entrance / exit 61b, a regulation groove 61c, and a holding protrusion 61d. The guide groove 61a is a groove-shaped passage for guiding the slide piece 62, and is an outer wall erected along the outer peripheral edge of the bottom wall of the case body 61 (the plate on the back side of the paper surface in FIG. 9A). And it is extended in a straight line by the inner wall erected inside.

The vertical dimensions of the outer wall and the inner wall (FIG. 9 (b) vertical dimension) are slightly higher than the height dimension of the slide piece 62 (FIG. 9 (b) vertical dimension). Further, the case body 61 is formed so that the top view shape shown in FIG. 9A has substantially the same outer shape as the top plate tip portion 51b (see FIG. 8) of the top plate 51 of the cover member 50.

Therefore, in a state where the retaining member 60 is held by the case member 50 (a state in which the upper surface side (the standing tip side of the outer wall and the inner wall) of the case body 61 is in contact with the lower surface side of the upper surface plate tip portion 51b). The slide piece 62 is movable along the guide passage 61a. Further, between the top plate tip portion 51b and the bottom wall of the case body 61, the connecting shaft portion 15d (see FIG. 7) of the outer frame side connecting member 15 moves along the guide groove 54 of the cover member 50. A passage path is formed. The guide passage 61a is formed in a straight line perpendicular to the passage path of the connecting shaft portion 15d (that is, the guide groove 54, see FIG. 8A).

The shaft entrance / exit 61b is an opening for passing the connecting shaft portion 15d of the outer frame side connecting member 15, and is formed in a part of the outer wall of the case body 61 (a portion corresponding to the guide groove 54 of the cover member 50). NS. As a result, the connecting shaft portion 15d of the outer frame side connecting member 15 can be moved along the guide groove 54 of the cover member 50.

The regulation groove 61c is a groove for restricting the movement position of the slide piece 62 along the guide passage 61a, and extends linearly along the guide passage 61a on the bottom wall of the case body 61. A regulation protrusion 62c projecting from the bottom surface of the slide piece 62 is inserted into the regulation groove 61c, and the regulation protrusion 62c reaches the end of the regulation groove 61c (the left end in FIG. 9B) to reach the end of the regulation groove 61c. Regulate the forward movement of.

The holding protrusion 61d is formed as a hemispherical protrusion projecting from the inner peripheral surface of the outer wall of the case body 61 toward the inside of the guide passage 61a (that is, toward the side surface of the slide piece 62). A hemispherical recess (not shown) is formed on the side surface of the slide piece 61d at a position corresponding to the holding protrusion 61d, and when the slide piece 62 is retracted to a position where the holding protrusion 61d fits into the recess, the slide piece 62 is moved backward. The slide piece 62 is held in that position.

The slide piece 62 is formed in a rhombic shape when viewed from above, and is movably arranged in the guide passage 61a. A columnar protrusion 62a is projected from the upper surface of the slide piece 62. The protrusion 62a is operably inserted into the branch groove 55 (see FIG. 8A) of the cover member 50 (see FIG. 10). Therefore, the operator can move the slide piece 62 forward or backward along the guide passage 61a by operating the protrusion 62a inserted through the branch groove 55.

The coil spring 63 is arranged in the guide passage 61a with its compression direction along the moving direction of the slide piece 62. The slide piece 62 includes an inclined surface 62b formed as an inclined flat surface at a portion opposite to the coil spring 63 (that is, a portion protruding into the passage path of the connecting shaft portion 15d (see FIG. 10)). ..

The inclined surface 62b protrudes into the passage path of the connecting shaft portion 15d in a direction away from the shaft entrance / exit 61b (that is, a direction in which the connecting shaft portion 15d moves toward the end of the guide groove 54, lower in FIG. 9). It is tilted to increase the amount. Therefore, when the connecting shaft portion 15d is inserted into the guide groove 54, the inclined surface 62b is pressed against the connecting shaft portion 15d, so that the slide piece 62 is moved backward while compressing and deforming the coil spring 63.

The slide piece 62 is shown in a state in which the forward movement of the slide piece 62 is restricted by the regulatory projection 62c coming into contact with the end of the regulation groove 61c of the case body 61 (that is, FIGS. 9A and 9B). In the state), the edge portion of the inclined surface 62b (left side in FIG. 9A) coincides with the edge portion of the shaft entrance / exit 61b (left side in FIG. 9A). Therefore, the connecting shaft portion 15d inserted from the shaft inlet / outlet 61b can be reliably brought into contact with the inclined surface 62b.

Further, in a state where the forward movement of the slide piece 62 is restricted, the coil spring 63 is arranged between the outer wall of the case body 61 and the slide piece 62 in a state of being elastically compressed and deformed. Therefore, after the connecting shaft portion 15d passes through the slide piece 62 while moving backward due to the pressure of the inclined surface 62b and reaches the end of the guide groove 54, the slide piece 62 is surely returned (moved forward) and connected. Prevents the shaft portion 15d from falling off.

Further, the slide piece 62 is moved backward due to the inclined surface 62b being pressed when passing through the connecting shaft portion 15d, but in the backward movement accompanying the passage of the connecting shaft portion 15d, the slide piece 62 is at the holding position by the holding protrusion 62d described above. Not reachable. That is, in order to hold the slide piece 62 at a predetermined retracted position by the holding protrusion 62, the operator needs to operate the protrusion 62a to move the slide piece 62 backward.

It will be described back to FIGS. 5 and 6. As shown in FIG. 5, the connection between the outer frame side connecting member 15 disposed on the outer frame 10 and the main portion side connecting member 32 arranged on the inner frame 30 (game machine main portion 20) is an outer frame. This can be done by arranging the inner frame 30 (game machine main portion 20) facing the front of the 10 and pushing the inner frame 30 straight toward the outer frame 10 from that state. Here, with reference to FIGS. 10 and 11, a connection operation between the outer frame side connecting member 15 disposed on the outer frame 10 and the main portion side connecting member 32 arranged on the inner frame 30 will be described. do.

10 (a) to 10 (c) are top views of the outer frame side connecting member 15 and the main part side connecting member 32 during the connecting operation, and FIG. 10 (a) shows the start of the connecting operation. 10 (b) shows the middle of the connection operation, and FIG. 10 (c) shows the end of the connection operation. Further, FIG. 11 is a top view of the outer frame side connecting member 15 and the main portion side connecting member 32, and the gaming machine main portion 20 is opened to the outer frame 10 after the connection operation shown in 10 (c) is completed. It shows the state. In addition, in FIGS. 10 and 11, in order to simplify the drawings, only the main configurations are designated by reference numerals.

As shown in FIG. 10A, when the gaming machine main portion 20 is pushed toward the outer frame 10 from the state where the gaming machine main portion 20 is face-to-face arranged in front of the outer frame 10, the outer frame side connecting member The connecting shaft portion 15d of 15 is moved along the guide groove 54 of the main portion side connecting member 32 and is brought into contact with the inclined surface 62b of the slide piece 62. When the gaming machine main portion 20 is further pushed in, the connecting shaft portion 15d passes through the guide groove 54 while moving the slide piece 62 backward by pressing the inclined surface 62b as shown in FIG. 10 (b). Then, as shown in FIG. 10 (c), the end of the guide groove 54 is reached, and the connecting operation of the outer frame side connecting member 15 and the main portion side connecting member 32 is completed.

In this case, the slide piece 62 is returned to the initial position (forward movement) by the elastic recovery force of the coil spring 63, so that the connecting shaft portion 15d is prevented from being pulled out (dropped off). That is, it is prevented that the connection between the outer frame side connecting member 15 and the main portion side connecting member 32 is released.

Here, as described above, the extending direction (straight line direction) of the guide groove 54 is the direction perpendicular to the frame surface of the inner frame 30 (game machine main portion 20). Therefore, when the gaming machine main portion 20 is arranged face-to-face in front of the outer frame 10, the direction in which the main portion side connecting member 32 is connected to the outer frame side connecting member 15 is perpendicular to the frame surface of the outer frame 10. Can be in any direction. As a result, after the gaming machine main portion 20 is arranged in front of the outer frame 10, the gaming machine main portion 20 can be assembled to the outer frame 10 only by pushing straight in a straight line direction. Therefore, it is possible to improve workability when assembling the gaming machine main portion 20 to the outer frame 10.

In the present embodiment, when the gaming machine main portion 20 is closed with respect to the outer frame 10, the protrusion 62a of the slide piece 62 is topped by the outer frame side connecting member 15 as shown in FIG. 10 (c). It is covered from the side. Therefore, it is difficult to operate the protrusion 62 of the slide piece 62, and it is possible to prevent the slide piece 62 from being moved backward by a player or the like. As a result, it is possible to prevent the connection between the outer frame side connecting member 15 and the main portion side connecting member 32 from being illegally released.

On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 11, when the gaming machine main portion 20 is open with respect to the outer frame 10, the protrusion 62a of the slide piece 62 is not covered from the upper surface side by the outer frame side connecting member 15. It can be exposed to the outside. That is, a clerk or the like who can unlock the locking device KD and open the gaming machine main portion 20 can operate the protrusion 62a, and as a result, the outer frame side connecting member 15 and the main portion side connecting member 32 It is possible to break the connection between the two.

Here, in the state shown in FIG. 11, when the protrusion 62a of the slide piece 62 is operated to move the slide piece 62 backward to a predetermined position, the slide piece 62 is held by the holding protrusion 61d of the case body 61. Can be done. That is, the restriction by the slide piece 62 can be released to form a state in which the connecting shaft portion 15d can be pulled out along the guide groove 54, and the state can be maintained.

Therefore, for example, in order to prevent the slide piece 62 from returning to the initial position, it is necessary to perform complicated work of removing the gaming machine main portion 20 from the outer frame 10 while holding the protrusion 62a with one hand. No. Specifically, after the slide piece 62 is held by the holding protrusion 61d, if the gaming machine main portion 20 is closed, the connection between the outer frame side connecting member 15 and the main portion side connecting member can be released. Therefore, the gaming machine main portion 20 can be removed from the outer frame 10 by pulling out the gaming machine main portion 20 with respect to the outer frame 10 in the direction opposite to that at the time of attachment.

When the outer frame side connecting member 15 and the main portion side connecting member 32 are connected to each other, the connecting shaft portion 15d presses the inclined surface 62b of the slide piece 62 to move the slide piece 62 backward. Depending on the situation, as described above, the slide piece 62 does not reach the position held by the holding protrusion 61d. Therefore, the elastic recovery force of the coil spring 63 can surely return the slide piece 62 to the initial position (forward movement).

It will be described back to FIGS. 5 and 6. As shown in FIG. 5, the outer frame side engaging member 16 is arranged on the lower frame body 12 of the outer frame 10, and the protruding member 76 appears and disappears from the upper surface thereof. When the gaming machine main portion 20 is attached to the outer frame 10, the main portion side shaft support member 35 on the game machine main portion 20 side is arranged on the upper surface of the outer frame side engaging member 16, and the main portion side shaft is mounted. By inserting the protruding member 76 of the outer frame side engaging member 16 into the receiving hole 36a of the support member 35, both are engaged (see FIG. 22).

The outer frame side engaging member 16 is arranged so as to cover the periphery of a plurality of (five in this embodiment) engaging devices 70 formed in a box shape and a group of the engaging devices 70, and the outer frame. It includes an outer wall forming member 80 that forms the outer wall of the side engaging member 16. The engaging devices 70 are arranged side by side in a straight line at equal intervals along the left-right direction of the outer frame 10 (lower frame body 12). Here, the outer frame side engaging member 16 will be described with reference to FIGS. 12 to 17.

12 (a) is a cross-sectional perspective view of the outer frame side engaging device 16 and the main portion side shaft support member 35, and FIG. 12 (b) is an outer frame in the direction of arrow XIIb of FIG. 12 (a). It is sectional drawing of the side engaging apparatus 16 and the main part side shaft supported member 35.

It is mainly provided with a regulation plate 78 that regulates the movement of the body.

Here, the case bodies 71R and 71L will be described with reference to FIG. 13 (a) is a rear view of the case bodies 71R and 71L, and FIG. 13 (b) is a side view of the case body 71R. Note that FIG. 13A illustrates the assembled state of the case bodies 71R and 71L. Further, in FIG. 13B, the side surface of the case body 71R, which is the mating surface with the case body 71L, is shown with hatching.

As shown in FIGS. 13 (a) and 13 (b), the case bodies 71R and 71L are formed in a container shape in which the mating surfaces are open, and have an internal space by bringing the mating surfaces into contact with each other. Form a box-like body. Since the case bodies 71R and 71L are formed in a symmetrical shape having a mating surface as a symmetrical surface, the case body 71R will be described here, and the description of the case body 71L will be omitted.

The case body 71R has a front wall (left side in FIG. 13 (b)) forming the front surface of the box-shaped body and a rear wall (right side in FIG. 13 (b)) arranged opposite to the front wall and forming the back surface of the box-shaped body. The upper wall (upper side of FIG. 13B) and the bottom wall 74 that connect the front wall and the rear wall to form the upper surface and the bottom surface of the box-shaped body, and the side wall forming the side surface of the box-shaped body (FIG. 13 (FIG. 13). b) The back side of the paper surface), the first partition wall 73a and the second partition wall 73b for vertically partitioning the internal space, and the vertical wall 73c for partitioning the internal space back and forth are provided, and each of these walls is integrated from the resin material. Is formed in. The plate thickness of each of these walls is set to substantially the same size.

A bulging portion 72 is projected from the front wall and the rear wall, respectively, and an insertion hole 72a for inserting the fastening bolt B1 is formed in the bulging portion 72. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 13A, the case bodies 71R and 71L can be firmly integrated by screwing the nut N1 into the fastening bolt B1 inserted into the insertion hole 72a.

The first partition wall 73a and the second partition wall 73b are plate-like bodies arranged in a horizontal posture between the upper wall and the bottom wall 74 while connecting the front wall, the rear wall, and the side wall, and move up and down the internal space. It is divided into three spaces. The vertical wall 73c is a plate-shaped body arranged in a vertical posture between the front wall and the rear wall while connecting the upper wall, the bottom wall 74, and the side wall, and divides the internal space into two spaces in the front-rear direction.

Holding portions h1, h2, and h3 are formed on the upper wall, the first partition wall 73a, and the second partition wall 73b, respectively. The holding portions h1, h2, and h3 are portions recessed in an upper wall or the like for holding the projecting member 76 (see FIG. 12) so as to be movable in the axial direction, and are arranged coaxially. The holding portions h1, h2, and h3 of the case body 71R are formed in a semicircular shape in the axial direction when holding the projecting member 76, and the holding portions of the case body 71R formed in the same semicircular shape as these. By arranging them facing h1, h2, h3 (not shown), a circle is formed.

The circular inner diameter formed by the holding portions h1 and h2 is slightly larger than the outer diameter of the large diameter portion of the main body portion 76a of the projecting member 76, and is larger than the outer diameter of the overhanging portion 76b and the annular plate 76c. Is also made smaller. Further, the circular inner diameter formed by the holding portion h3 is slightly larger than the outer diameter of the small diameter portion in the main body portion 76a of the projecting member 76, and is smaller than the outer diameter of the coil spring 77 (see FIG. 14). ).

On the front wall, the vertical wall 73c, and the rear wall, receiving portions m1, m2, and m3 are formed at portions located between the upper wall and the first partition wall 73a, respectively. The receiving portions m1, m2, and m3 form a passage for moving the regulation plate 78 (see FIG. 12) back and forth (in the left-right direction in FIG. 13 (b)) and form a space for accommodating the regulation plate 78 pushed forward. It is a part recessed in the front wall or the like in order to do so. As shown in FIG. 13A, the receiving portions m1, m2 and m3 of the case body 71R are arranged so as to face the receiving portions m1, m2 and m3 (not shown) of the case body 71R. A horizontally long rectangular shape corresponding to the outer shape of the regulation plate 78 is formed.

The bottom wall 74 includes a rear bottom wall 74a connected to the rear wall, a front bottom wall 74b connected to the front wall, and a stepped portion connecting between the two bottom walls 74a and 74b. The front bottom wall 74b is formed so as to be one step higher than the rear bottom wall 74a. Therefore, in a state where the engaging device 70 is installed on the lower frame body 12 of the outer frame 10, the rear bottom wall 74a is in contact with the lower frame body 12, and between the front side bottom wall 74b and the lower frame body 12. A predetermined gap is formed (see FIG. 12).

Therefore, when the outer wall forming member 80 is attached to the group of the engaging devices 70 to form the outer frame side engaging device 16, the front bottom wall 74b and the lower side of the engaging device 70 (case bodies 71R, 71L) are formed. The bottom plate 82 of the outer wall forming member 80 can be inserted into the gap between the frame body 12 (see FIG. 12). Thereby, for example, the upward movement of the outer wall forming member 80 can be restricted without fastening and fixing with the fastening screw.

In this case, the portion connecting between the front bottom wall 74b and the front wall is formed so as to be inclined upward from the front bottom wall 74b toward the front wall. Therefore, since the gap between the front bottom wall 74b and the lower frame body 12 can be increased and the inclined portion can be used as a guide surface, the work of efficiently inserting the bottom plate 82 of the outer wall forming member 80 into the gap can be performed. Can be made.

By providing the vertical wall 73c at the position where the front bottom wall 74b and the upper wall are connected, not only the rigidity of the case bodies 71R and 71L can be ensured, but also the upper surface side (case body) of the engaging device 70 can be secured. The weight of the gaming machine main portion 20 mounted on the upper wall side of 71R and 71L) can be efficiently transmitted to the front bottom wall 74b by using the vertical wall 73c. That is, even if there is some gap between the front bottom wall 74b and the bottom plate 82 of the outer wall forming member 80, or between the bottom plate 82 of the outer wall forming member 80 and the lower outer frame 12, they are brought into close contact with each other. The weight of the main portion 20 of the gaming machine can be effectively supported even on the front bottom wall 74b side.

A seat surface portion 75 is formed on the outer surface of the side wall so as to project outward. The seat surface portion 75 is formed into a plate-shaped body whose bottom surface is flush with the bottom surface of the rear bottom wall 74b, and the plate-shaped body is provided with an insertion hole for inserting the fastening screw B2. Therefore, by fastening the fastening screw B2 inserted into the insertion hole of the seat surface portion 75 to the lower frame body 12, the case bodies 71R and 71L are fastened and fixed to the lower frame body 12.

Next, the projecting member 76 and the coil spring 77 will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 14 is a front view of the projecting member 76 and the coil spring 77. In FIG. 14, the annular plate 76c is shown in cross section.

The projecting member 14 is a member that is movably housed in the internal space of the case bodies 71R and 71L, and has a large diameter portion and a small diameter portion having a smaller diameter than the large diameter portion thereof, and is formed in a shaft shape. The shaft main body 76a is provided with a flange-shaped overhanging portion 76b protruding outward in the radial direction from the large diameter portion thereof, and an annular plate 76c formed as an annular disk.

The main body portion 76a includes a hemispherical tip portion 76a1 at its tip. The overhanging portion 76b is formed by bending the connecting portion between the lower surface (lower side surface in FIG. 14) and the side surface in an arc shape. As a result, when the regulation plate 78 is operated, the overhanging portion 76b can be smoothly moved along the inclined upper surface 78b and the rear end upper surface 78c of the regulation plate 78, and the projecting member 76 can be reliably moved in and out. 20 to 22).

A circular hole is opened in the center of the annular plate 76c. The inner diameter of the hole is larger than the outer diameter of the small diameter portion of the main body portion 76a and smaller than the outer diameter of the large diameter portion of the main body portion 76a. Therefore, when the small diameter portion of the main body portion 76a is inserted into the central hole of the annular plate 76c, the annular plate 76c is locked by the step between the large diameter portion and the small diameter portion of the main body portion 76a.

The inner diameter of the coil spring 77 is larger than the small diameter portion of the main body portion 76a, and the outer diameter thereof is smaller than the outer diameter of the annular plate 76c. Therefore, when the small diameter portion of the main body portion 76a is inserted into the coil spring 77, the end surface of the coil spring 77 comes into contact with the plate surface of the annular plate 76c.

Next, the regulation plate 78 will be described with reference to FIG. 15 (a) is a top view of the regulation plate 78, and FIG. 15 (b) is a cross-sectional view of the regulation plate 78 in the XVb-XVb line of FIG. 15 (a).

As shown in FIGS. 15A and 15B, the regulation plate 78 is formed from a resin material in the shape of a rectangular plate when viewed from above. The regulation plate 78 has a front upper surface 78b and a rear end upper surface 78c formed parallel to the horizontal bottom surface (lower side surface in FIG. 15B), and the front end upper surface 78a toward the rear end upper surface 78c. And an inclined upper surface 78b that inclines upward is formed.

Each of these upper surfaces 78a, 78b, 78c is formed as a rectangular region as shown in FIG. 15 (a). Further, the plate thickness of the regulation plate 78 (dimension in the vertical direction in FIG. 15B) is set to be the minimum in the portion where the tip upper surface 78a is formed and the maximum in the portion where the rear end upper surface 78c is formed. Further, the plate thickness of the portion where the inclined upper surface 78b is formed is gradually changed along the inclination.

The plate thickness of the portion where the tip upper surface 78a of the regulation plate 78 is formed is equal to or slightly smaller than the height of the receiving portion m3 of the case body 71R, and the plate thickness of the portion where the inclined upper surface 78b of the regulation plate 78 is formed. Is equal to or slightly smaller than the height of the receiving portion m2 of the case body 71R, and the plate thickness of the portion where the rear end upper surface 78c of the regulating plate 78 is formed is equal to or slightly smaller than the height of the receiving portion m1 of the case body 71R. (See FIG. 13 (b)). Therefore, in the state where the regulation plate 78 is pushed most forward, each part of the regulation plate 78 is housed in the receiving portions m1, m2, and m3 (see FIG. 22).

The inclined upper surface 78b is directly connected to the rear end upper surface 78c as shown in FIG. 15B, whereas the tip upper surface 78a is connected to the tip upper surface 78a via a stepped surface perpendicular to the bottom surface. NS. Here, in a state where the projecting member 76 is arranged at the initial position (state before regulation by the regulation plate 78, see FIG. 21) due to the urging of the coil spring 77, the first partition wall 73a of the case body 71R and the projecting member The distance between the overhanging portion 76b of the 76 is made larger than the plate thickness of the portion of the regulating plate 78 where the inclined upper surface 78b is formed. Therefore, even if the inclined upper surface 78b is not extended to a position where it is directly connected to the tip upper surface 78a, the operation of pushing the regulation plate 78 and intruding the inclined upper surface 78b into the lower surface of the overhanging portion 76b of the projecting member 76 ( The operation when transitioning from the state of FIG. 21 to the state of FIG. 22) can be smoothly performed.

Therefore, according to the regulation plate 78 in the present embodiment, the length dimension (left-right direction in FIG. 15B) is compared with the case where the inclined upper surface 78b is extended to the position where it is directly connected to the tip upper surface 78a. Dimensions) can be shortened, and as a result, component costs can be reduced. Further, since the inclination angle of the inclined upper surface 78b can be made gentle while shortening the length dimension of the regulating plate 78 in this way, the regulating plate 78 is pushed forward while pushing the protruding member 76 upward by the inclined upper surface 78b. The pushing operation can be performed smoothly.

The regulation plate 78 includes a through hole 78d having a rectangular shape when viewed from above, which is penetrated in the plate thickness direction. A large diameter portion of the main body portion 76a of the projecting member 76 is inserted into the through hole 78d (see FIG. 12). Therefore, the width dimension of the through hole 78d (vertical dimension in FIG. 15A) is slightly larger than the diameter of the large diameter portion of the main body portion 76a of the projecting member 76.

Further, the through hole 78d has a width dimension (vertical dimension in FIG. 15A) smaller than the outer diameter of the overhanging portion 76b of the projecting member 76, and is formed from the front end upper surface 78a to the rear end upper surface 78c. Is done. As a result, at least the inclined upper surface 78b and the rear end upper surface 78c can be brought into contact with the overhanging portion 76b of the projecting member 76 (see FIG. 22). Further, the overhanging portion 76b of the projecting member 76 can be separated from the inclined upper surface 78b so as to face the tip upper surface 78a (see FIG. 20).

Here, since the regulation plate 78 is formed as a closed space formed by the through hole 78d, the protruding member 76 is formed in the through hole 78d in the assembled state of the engaging device 70 (see FIG. 12). By being inserted, the regulation plate 78 cannot be pulled out. Therefore, for example, it is possible to prevent the regulation plate 78 from falling off during transportation of the pachinko machine 1 and to prevent the operator from carelessly pulling it out and losing it after installation on the island facility.

Returning to FIG. 12, a method of assembling the engaging device 70 will be described. First, the main body portion 76a of the protruding member 76 is inserted into the through hole 78d of the regulating member 78, and then the annular plate 76c and the coil spring 77 are inserted into the small diameter portion of the main body portion 76a. That is, a state in which the regulation plate 78 is sandwiched between the overhanging portion 76b of the main body portion 76a and the annular plate 76c is formed. Hereinafter, the projecting member 76 and the regulation plate 78 in this state will be referred to as "first assembly parts".

Next, the first assembly component is mounted on the case body 71R from the mating surface side. That is, as shown in FIG. 12, the first assembly parts are fitted into the holding portions h1 to h3 and the receiving portions m1 to m3 of the case body 71R. In this case, the overhanging portion 76b of the projecting member 76 is arranged between the upper wall of the case body 71R and the first partition wall 73a, and the first partition wall 73a and the second partition wall 73b of the case body 71R are arranged. An annular plate 76c and a coil spring 77 are arranged between them. The regulation plate 78 may be fitted into at least the receiving portion m1 of the receiving portions m1 to m3 of the case body 71R. That is, the regulation plate 78 does not have to reach the receiving portions m2 and m3, and it is sufficient that the large diameter portion of the main body portion 76a of the projecting member 76 is inserted through the through hole 78d.

After mounting the first assembly part on the case body 71R, the case body 71L is connected to the case body 71R facing each other (that is, the mating surfaces are connected to each other) and inserted into the insertion hole 72a of the bulging portion 72. The nut N1 is screwed into the fastening screw B1 that has been tightened. As a result, the case bodies 71R and 71L are integrated in a state where the projecting member 76 and the regulation plate 78 are housed, and the assembly of the engaging device 70 is completed.

The outer wall forming member 80 is attached to the group of engaging devices 70 from the front surface side, and is a member for forming an outer wall around the group of engaging devices 70, and is formed in a box shape with one side open. Here, the outer wall forming member 80 will be described with reference to FIGS. 16 and 17.

16 (a) is a top view of the outer wall forming member 80, and FIG. 16 (b) is a front view of the outer wall forming member 80 in the direction of arrow XVIb of FIG. 16 (a). 17 (a) is a cross-sectional view of the outer wall forming member 80 in the line XVIIa-XVIIa of FIG. 16 (b), and FIG. 17 (b) shows the outer wall formation in the direction of arrow XVIIb of FIG. 16 (b). It is a side view of the member 80.

As shown in FIGS. 16 and 17, the outer wall forming member 80 includes a top plate 81, a bottom plate 82 arranged to face the top plate 81 at a predetermined interval, and the top plate 81 and the bottom plate 82. A connecting front plate 83 to be connected and a pair of side plates 84 formed at both ends in the longitudinal direction of the connecting front plate 83 and arranged to face each other are provided.

That is, in the outer wall forming member 80, the connecting front plate 83 is formed in a rectangular shape in a front view, and the top plate 81 and the bottom plate 82 are paired from the left and right sides from the upper and lower sides of the rectangular shape (connecting front plate 83). The side plates 84 are extended in the same direction (to the right in FIG. 17A). As a result, the outer wall forming member 80 is formed in a box shape in which one side (the side opposite to the connecting front plate 83, the right side in FIG. 17A) is open. A predetermined gap is formed between the top plate 81 and the side plate 84, and between the bottom plate 82 and the side plate 84.

A plurality of folded pieces 81a (four in the present embodiment, see FIG. 5) are formed on the top plate 81. The folded piece 81a is a small piece having a rectangular shape in a top view, which is projected from the edge of the extending tip side (opposite side of the connecting front plate 83) of the upper surface plate 81, and is formed on the upper surface side of the upper surface plate 81 (FIG. 17 (a)). It is formed by folding back to the upper side). The facing surface distance between the folded piece 81a and the upper surface plate 81 is set to a dimension equal to or slightly larger than the plate thickness of the insertion claw 36c of the main portion side shaft support member 35.

As shown in FIG. 17A, the folded-back tip of the folded-back piece 81a is formed so that the surface facing the top plate 81 (lower side in FIG. 17A) is inclined upward toward the folded-back tip. NS. Therefore, the gap between the facing surfaces between the folded piece 81a and the upper surface plate 81 is widened toward the folded tip side (left side in FIG. 17 (a)) of the folded piece 81a, so that the insertion 36c1 of the shaft-supported member 35 on the main portion side is widened. Is inserted between the facing surfaces, the insertion operation can be smoothly performed (see FIGS. 23 and 24).

The top plate 81 is provided with infestation holes 81b at a plurality of locations (five locations in the present embodiment, see FIG. 5). The indentation hole 81b is a circular hole through which the projecting member 76 of the engagement device 70 can appear and disappear, and is provided at a position corresponding to the plurality of engagement devices 70. Further, the inner diameter of the infestation hole 81b is slightly larger than the outer diameter of the main body portion 76a (large diameter portion) of the projecting member 76 (see FIG. 12).

In the outer wall forming member 80, a plate-like body made of a single metal material is punched into a predetermined outer shape by press working, and a predetermined portion of the punched material (top plate 81 and bottom plate with respect to the connecting front plate 83). It is formed by bending the portion to which the 82 and the side plate 84 are connected, and the folded piece 81a). When punching a plate-shaped body, a haunting hole 81b is formed at the same time as the outer shape is formed.

It will be described back to FIG. The outer wall forming member 80 has its open surface side (opposite side to the connecting front plate 83) fastened and fixed to the lower frame body 12 of the outer frame 10 on the front side (game machine main portion 20 side) of the group of engaging devices 70. , Directly (horizontally) toward the engaging device 70 from the state of being arranged facing each other (on the left side of FIG. 12), the device is attached to the group of engaging devices 70. As a result, the outer wall forming member 80 surrounds the group of the engaging devices 70.

That is, the upper surface wall 81 of the outer wall forming member 80 is on the upper surface side of the group of the engaging device 70, and the connecting front plate 83 of the outer wall forming device 80 is on the front side of the group of the engaging device 70. A pair of side plates 84 of the outer wall forming device 80 are arranged to face each other on the left and right sides of the group. As a result, the engaging device 70 is housed in the internal space of the outer wall forming member 80, and it is possible to make it difficult to access each engaging device 70 from the outside.

The pair of side plates 84 of the outer wall forming member 80 has the extended tip (the edge on the opposite side to the connecting front plate 83) in the side view (see FIG. 12B), and the left frame of the outer frame 10. It is extended to a position where it overlaps with the body 13 and the right frame body 14. Therefore, it is possible to make it more difficult to access the engaging device 70 from between the left and right side surface plates 84 of the outer wall forming member 80 and the left frame body 13 and the right frame body 14 of the outer frame 10.

Further, the bottom plate 82 of the outer wall forming member 80 is inserted between the facing surfaces of the bottom wall 74 (front outer wall 74b) of each engaging device 70 and the lower frame body 12 of the outer frame 10, and the gap is closed. NS. Further, the bottom plate 82 of the outer wall forming member 80 is continuous in the left-right direction along the lower frame body 12 of the outer frame 10. That is, the bottom plate 82 of the outer wall forming member 80 is in contact with the upper surface of the lower frame body 12 of the outer frame 10 even between the adjacent engaging devices 70. This makes it difficult to access each engaging device 70 from between the lower frame body 12 of the outer frame 10 and the bottom wall 82 of the outer frame forming member 80.

On the other hand, since the outer wall forming member 80 is formed in an open shape on one side (the side opposite to the connecting front wall 83, the right side in FIG. 12B), the back side of the group of the engaging devices 70 is exposed. Can be done. Therefore, in a state where the gaming machine main portion 20 is open to the outer frame 10 (see FIGS. 3 and 4), it is possible to easily access the regulation plate 78 projecting to the back surface side of the engaging device 70. Therefore, it is possible to improve workability when the operator pushes in or pulls out the regulation plate 78.

Here, when the outer wall forming member 80 is attached to the group of the engaging device 70, the tip of the protruding member 76 of the engaging device 70 is inserted into the protruding hole 81b of the upper surface plate 81 of the outer wall forming member 80, and the outer wall thereof is inserted. It is in a state of protruding from the upper surface plate 81 of the forming member 80. Therefore, the movement of the outer wall forming member 80 in the pulling out direction (the direction opposite to the pushing direction at the time of mounting, the left direction in FIG. 12B) is restricted by the engagement between the protruding member 76 and the protruding hole 81b of the upper surface plate 81. can do. Further, the movement of the outer wall forming member 80 in the upward direction (upward in FIG. 12B) is performed between the lower frame body 12 of the outer frame 10 and the bottom wall 74 (front bottom wall 74b) of the engaging device 70. By sandwiching the bottom wall 82 of the outer wall forming member 80, it can be regulated.

As described above, the outer wall forming member 80 can be easily attached to the engaging device 70 by simply pushing it into the engaging device 70 in one direction, so that the assembly man-hours can be reduced accordingly. Further, it is not necessary to fix both of them by using a fastening screw or the like, and the function for connecting to the gaming machine main portion 20 (main portion side shaft support member 35) is used (also used) to form the outer wall forming member 80. Is fixed to the engaging device 70, so that the number of parts can be reduced accordingly. On the other hand, since both 70 and 80 can be firmly connected while enabling simple mounting in this way, it is possible to prevent the outer wall forming member 80 from being illegally removed from the engaging device 70.

As shown in FIG. 12, the outer frame side engaging member 16 is provided on the upper surface side (upper side of FIGS. 12A and 12B) by mounting the outer wall forming member 80 on the engaging device 70. , A structure for engaging with the main portion side shaft support member 35 of the gaming machine main portion 20 (a protruding member 76 protruding from the upper surface wall 81 of the outer wall forming member 80, a folded piece 81a of the upper surface wall 81, etc.) is formed. NS. Here, with reference to FIGS. 18 and 19, the main portion side shaft-supported member 35 will be described.

18 (a) is a top view of the main portion side shaft support member 35, and FIG. 18 (b) is a front view of the main portion side shaft support member 35 in the direction of arrow XVIIIb of FIG. 18 (a). Is. Further, FIG. 19 is a cross-sectional view of the shaft-supported member 35 on the main portion side in the XIX-XIX line of FIG. 18 (b). In addition, in FIG. 18A, the vicinity of the insertion claw 36c is partially viewed in cross section and shown.

As shown in FIGS. 18 and 19, the main body side shaft support member 35 has a long plate-shaped main body plate 36 and a main body along the longitudinal direction (horizontal direction in FIG. 18A) of the main body plate 36. It is provided with a standing plate 37 which is erected from the edge of the plate 36 and whose tip portion is folded back in parallel to the main body plate 36 side to form an inverted L-shaped cross section.

In the main portion side shaft support member 35, the upright plate 37 is erected toward the upper surface side (upper side of FIG. 19) of the main body plate 36 (that is, one edge portion of the main portion side shaft support member 35 is erected. , It is formed by folding back toward the upper surface side of the main body plate 36), so that the bottom surface of the main portion side shaft-supported member 35 (main body plate 36) can be formed into a flat surface shape. Therefore, since the ground contact area can be secured, when the main portion side shaft support member 35 is opened (arranged in a dogleg shape) and the gaming machine main portion 20 (inner frame 30) is made to stand on its own (Fig. 6), the independence can be stabilized.

Further, even when the main portion side axial support member 35 is formed into a long shape from a plate-like body, by providing the upright plate 37 on the main portion side axial support member 35, the amount can be increased. Flexural rigidity can be increased. Therefore, by using the main portion side shaft support member 35 in a state where the main portion side shaft support member 35 is opened with respect to the gaming machine main portion 20 (inner frame 30), the gaming machine main portion 20 can be moved. When it is made to stand on its own, it can firmly support the main part 20 of the gaming machine. Therefore, from this point as well, the independence of the gaming machine main unit 20 can be stabilized.

On the other hand, when the edge portion of the main portion side shaft support member 35 is folded back, the other main portion side shaft support member 35 is superposed on the main portion side shaft support member 35, and a plurality of gaming machines are used. When the main portion 20 is made independent (that is, a plurality of gaming machine main portions 20 (inner frames 30) are made independent in the state shown in FIG. 6), the folded edge portion of the main portion side shaft support member 35 of 1 is used. When the other main portion side shaft support member 35 rides on, the riding machine main portion 20 tilts and its independence becomes unstable.

On the other hand, in the present embodiment, the main portion side shaft support member 35 is a side edge portion located on the gaming machine main portion 20 side in a state where the gaming machine main portion 20 (inner frame 30) is self-supporting. Is formed in a flat plate shape. That is, the flat plate-shaped main body plate 36 is formed with the upright plate 37 only at the edge portion opposite to the gaming machine main portion 20 (see FIG. 6). Therefore, avoiding the edge portion (standing plate 37) formed by folding back, the other main portion side shaft support member 35 is sequentially stacked on the opposite edge portion (that is, on the main body plate 36). I can go. Therefore, it is possible to suppress the inclination of the main portion 20 of the gaming machine and make it stand on its own in a stable manner.

Here, the erection plate 37 is formed over the entire area in the longitudinal direction of the main portion side shafted support member 35 (that is, over the range from one end side to the other end side in the longitudinal direction of the main body plate 36). Therefore, the rigidity of the shaft-supported member 35 on the main portion side can be uniformly improved over the entire longitudinal direction. That is, when a structure is adopted in which the edge portion on the opposite side of the upright plate 37 is bent to increase the rigidity of the shaft-supported member 35 on the main portion side, the support metal fitting 33 can move to the upper surface side in the vicinity of the support shaft 34. The edges cannot be bent due to being placed on. Therefore, a portion having low rigidity is partially formed only in the vicinity of the support shaft 34.

The main body plate 36 is provided with receiving holes 36a at a plurality of locations (five locations in the present embodiment, see FIG. 5). The receiving hole 36a is a circular hole for receiving the projecting member 76 of the outer frame side engaging member 16 (engaging device 70), and is provided at a position corresponding to the plurality of engaging devices 70, respectively. The inner diameter of the receiving hole 36a is slightly larger than the outer diameter of the main body portion 76a (large diameter portion) of the protruding member 76 (see FIG. 12).

The receiving hole 36a may be formed in an elongated hole shape in which the longitudinal direction (left-right direction in FIG. 18A) of the outer frame side engaging member 16 is the major axis direction. In this case, when assembling the gaming machine main portion 20 to the outer frame 10, the tip of the protruding member 76 can be easily received by the receiving hole 36a by utilizing the length in the major axis direction of the receiving hole 36a. can. Therefore, even if there is a misalignment of the main shaft support member 35 with respect to the outer frame side engaging member 16 or a dimensional tolerance of the member, the efficiency of assembling the gaming machine main portion 20 with respect to the outer frame 10 should be improved. Can be done. On the other hand, in order to direct the minor axis direction (vertical direction in FIG. 18A) of the receiving hole 36 toward the direction in which the game machine main portion 20 is pulled out from the outer frame 10, the receiving hole 76 is a receiving hole in that direction. It can be accepted with less rattling in 36a.

The main body plate 36 and the upright plate 37 are formed with openings 36b at a plurality of locations (four locations in the present embodiment, see FIG. 5). The opening 36b is an opening for receiving the folded piece 81a in the outer wall forming member 80 of the outer frame side engaging device 16, and is formed in the standing plate 37 in a rectangular shape in a front view as shown in FIG. 18B. The width dimension of the opening portion (FIG. 18 (b) left-right direction dimension) is formed to be slightly larger than the width dimension (FIG. 16 (a) left-right direction dimension) of the folded piece 81a of the outer frame forming member 80.

The opening 36b has a U-shaped top view arranged on the left and right, as shown in FIG. 18A, while the portion opened in the main body plate 36 communicates with the portion opened in the upright plate 37. Is formed in. As a result, the main body plate 36 is formed with an insertion claw 36c projecting toward the opening 36b. Here, the insertion claws 36c are formed in each of the plurality of (four in the present embodiment) openings 36b.

As shown in FIG. 19, the protruding tip of the insertion claw 36c is formed so that the upper surface (upper side of FIG. 19) is inclined downward toward the protruding tip. Therefore, when the insertion claw 36c is inserted between the facing surfaces between the folded piece 81a of the outer wall forming member 80 and the main body plate 36, the insertion operation can be smoothly performed (see FIGS. 23 and 24). ).

A fixing plate 36d is formed on the main body plate 36 on one end side in the longitudinal direction (left side in FIG. 18A). The fixing plate 36c is erected in the same direction as the upright plate 37 and is formed in an inverted J-shaped cross section to fix the arm of the torsion coil spring CS. That is, the support metal fitting 33 disposed at the lower end of the resin base 31 of the inner frame 30 is inserted into the insertion hole of the support metal fitting 33 in the shaft-supported member 35 on the main portion side. It is placed (see Fig. 4).

In this case, the torsion coil spring CS inserts the coil portion into the support shaft 34, fixes one arm extending from the coil portion to the fixing plate 36d of the main portion side shafted support member 35, and supports the other arm. In a state of being fixed to the fixed portion of the metal fitting 33, the support metal fitting 33 is interposed between the support metal fitting 33 and the shaft-supported member 35 on the main portion side. As a result, the shaft-supported member 35 on the main portion side is released from the support metal fitting 33 (that is, the inner frame 30) by the torsion torque of the torsion coil spring CS with the support shaft 34 as the center of rotation. Being urged (see Figure 6).

As described above, the shaft-supported member 35 on the main portion side is urged by the torsion coil spring CS in the direction of being opened with respect to the inner frame 30 (game machine main portion 20). When the inner frame 30 is made to stand on its own (see FIG. 6) in a state where the main portion side shaft support member 35 is open with respect to the inner frame 30 (see FIG. 6), the main portion side shaft support member 35 is used. Can be maintained in an open state to stabilize the independence of the inner frame 30. That is, when the inner frame 30 is self-supporting, it is possible to prevent the main portion side shaft-supported member 35 from being inadvertently closed and destabilizing the self-supporting of the inner frame 30.

Further, in this way, the structure in which the shaft-supported member 35 on the main portion side is urged in a direction in which the inner frame 30 (game machine main portion 20) is opened by the torsional torque of the torsion coil spring CS. If so, in a state where the game machine main portion 20 is arranged so as to be openable and closable with respect to the outer frame 10 (see FIGS. 3 and 4), the urging force (torsion torque) of the torsion coil spring CS is applied to the game machine main. It can be used as a force in the direction of opening the portion 20. Therefore, even when the weight of the gaming machine main unit 20 is heavy, for example, it is possible to facilitate the operation of the operator for releasing the gaming machine main unit 20.

The main part side shaft support member 35 is pressed to punch a plate-like body made of a single metal material into a predetermined outer shape, and the punched material has a predetermined portion (standing plate 37 and fixing plate 36d). Is formed by bending. When the plate-shaped body is punched, the receiving hole 36a and the opening 36b are bored at the same time as the outer shape is formed.

It will be described back to FIG. First, the connection (engagement) between the outer frame side engaging member 16 disposed on the outer frame 10 and the main portion side shafted support member 35 disposed on the inner frame 30 (game machine main portion 20) is first performed. The inner frame 30 (game machine main portion 20) is arranged face-to-face on the front surface of the outer frame 10 (see FIG. 2). As a result, as shown in FIG. 12, the main portion side shaft support member 35 is arranged on the outer frame side engaging member 16 with the erection plate 37 side facing, so that the inner frame side 10 is directed toward the outer frame 10. By pushing the frame 30 straight, the outer frame side connecting member 15 and the main part side connecting member 32 are connected (see FIG. 10), and the main part side shaft support member 35 and the outer frame side engaging. It can be connected to the member 16.

In this case, on the upper surface of the outer frame side engaging member 16 (upper surface plate 81 of the outer wall forming member 80), the main portion side shafted support member 35 (main portion side shafted support member 35 is interposed through the gaming machine main portion 20). ) Is formed. That is, in the state where the main portion side shaft support member 35 is placed in such a region, the outer frame side connecting member 15 and the main portion side connecting member 32 are not connected (see FIG. 10A). In addition, the protruding member 76 of the outer frame side engaging member 16 can be in a state of not being accepted by the receiving hole 36a of the main portion side shaft-supported member 35.

Therefore, when assembling the gaming machine main portion 20 to the outer frame 10, first, the tip end side (standing plate 37 side) of the main portion side shafted support portion 35 of the gaming machine main portion 20 is attached to the outer frame side engaging member. It is placed (temporarily placed) on the above-mentioned area on the upper surface of 16 and then the main portion 20 of the gaming machine is pushed in to move (slide) the shaft-mounted support portion 35 on the main portion side along the upper surface of the outer frame side engaging member 16. As a result, the outer frame side connecting member 15 and the main part side connecting member 32 are connected (see FIG. 10C), and the protruding member 76 of the outer frame side engaging member 16 is connected to the main part side shaft support member 35. Can be inserted (accepted) into the receiving hole 36a of the above (see FIGS. 20 to 24).

That is, when the operator connects the connecting members 15 and 16 and receives the projecting member 76 into the receiving hole 36a, the operator needs to perform those operations while supporting the weight of the gaming machine main portion 20. After the gaming machine main portion 20 is temporarily placed on the outer frame side engaging member 16, it is only necessary to push it in the horizontal direction. Therefore, it is possible to improve the workability of the work of assembling the gaming machine main portion 20 to the outer frame 10.

In this case, the protruding member 76 has a hemispherical tip portion at the initial position shown in FIG. 12 (a state in which the upper surface of the regulation plate 78 is not in contact with the lower surface of the overhanging portion 76b by being urged only by the coil spring 77). Since only 76b1 protrudes from the upper surface of the outer frame side engaging member 16 (upper surface plate 81 of the outer wall forming member 80), the main portion side shaft support member 35 slides on the upper surface of the outer frame side engaging member 16. When the corner portion (the connection portion between the main body plate 36 and the erection wall 37) of the shaft-supported member 35 on the main portion side is moved (sliding) and comes into contact with the projecting member 76, the protrusion member 76 is suppressed from being caught. Can be more reliably immersed under the facing surface.

Here, with reference to FIGS. 20 to 24, a connecting operation between the outer frame side engaging member 16 disposed on the outer frame 10 and the main portion side shafted support portion 35 disposed on the inner frame 30. Will be explained.

20 (a), 21 (a), 22 (a), 23 (a) and 24 (a) show the outer frame side engaging member 16 and the main part side shaft support member during the connection operation. It is a perspective view of 35, FIG. 20 (a) and FIG. 23 (a) are the start of the connecting operation, and FIG. 22 (a) and 24 (a) show the finished state, respectively, at the end of the connecting operation in which the regulation plate 78 is pushed.

20 (b), 21 (b), 22 (b), 23 (b) and 24 (b) are shown by arrow XXb in FIG. 20 (a) and arrow XXIb in FIG. 21 (a). 22 (a), XXIIb of FIG. 23 (a), and arrow XXIVb of FIG. 24 (a), is a cross-sectional view of the outer frame side engaging member 16 and the main portion side shafted support member 35.

Further, in FIGS. 20 to 24, only the main configurations are designated with reference numerals in order to simplify the drawings. Further, in FIGS. 20 to 22, the side surface of the case body 71R, which is the mating surface with the case body 71L, is shown with hatching.

As shown in FIG. 20, when the connecting operation is started and the main portion side shaft support member 35 is moved along the upper surface of the outer frame side engaging member 16 (outer wall forming member 80), the main portion side cover member 35 is moved. As the shaft support member 35 moves, the protruding member 76 is pushed downward, and the protruding member 76 is immersed in the lower surface side of the main portion side shafted support member 35.

In this case, as shown in FIG. 23, the folded tip of the folded piece 81a of the outer frame side engaging member 16 (outer wall forming member 80) is inserted into the opening 36b of the main portion side shafted support member 35. As a result, the folded piece 81a is restricted by the opening 36b, and the main portion side shafted support member 35 can be positioned in the left-right direction (FIG. 21 (b) perpendicular to the paper surface) with respect to the outer frame side engaging member 16. can. Further, when the shaft-supported member 35 on the main portion side is further pushed (moved forward) with respect to the engaging member 16 on the outer frame side, the opening portion 36b is guided along the folded piece 81a. The shaft-supported member 35 on the main portion side can be reliably moved to an appropriate position (that is, a position where the projecting member 76 can be received in the receiving hole 36a).

As shown in FIG. 21, when the main portion side shaft support member 35 is further pushed (forwardly moved) with respect to the outer frame side engaging member 16 from the state shown in FIG. 20, the main portion side shaft support member 35 is further pushed (moved forward). The protruding member 76 of the outer frame side engaging member 16 (engaging device 70) is received (the tip portion is inserted) into the receiving hole 36a of the 35.

As shown in FIG. 21, when the tip of the projecting member 76 is inserted into the receiving hole 36a, the tip of the insertion claw 36c of the main shaft side supported member 35 is the outer frame side engaging member 16 ( It is in contact with the root portion of the folded piece 81a of the outer wall forming member 80). As a result, the pushing operation (forward movement) of the shaft-supported member 35 on the main portion side can be reliably stopped at an appropriate position (the position where the protruding member 76 is received in the receiving hole 36a).

Further, when the tip of the insertion claw 36c is in contact with the root portion of the folded piece 81a, the pushing operation (forward movement) of the main portion side shafted support member 35 with respect to the outer frame side engaging member 16 is tentatively performed. Even if it is performed with a very strong force due to carelessness of a person or the like, it is possible to avoid the force acting only on the projecting member 76. That is, since the force acting from the shaft-supported member 35 on the main portion side can be shared by both the folded-back piece 81a and the projecting member 76, damage to the projecting member 76 can be suppressed by that amount.

As shown in FIG. 21, the tip portion of the protruding member 76 of the outer frame side engaging member 16 (engaging device 70) is received in the receiving hole 36a of the main portion side shafted support member 35, so that the main portion side is received. The shaft support member 35 and the outer frame side engaging member 16 are connected to each other. However, in this state, when the shaft-supported member 35 on the main portion side is pulled (retracted) in the extraction direction (leftward in FIG. 21B), the tip of the projecting member 76 from the inner peripheral surface of the receiving hole 36a Due to the force acting on the portion 76a1, the projecting member 76 moves downward and is submerged below the receiving hole 36a, so that the shaft-supported member 35 on the main portion side may be able to be pulled out.

Therefore, after the state shown in FIG. 21 is reached, the regulation plate 78 is pushed toward the projecting member 76 (that is, toward the left in FIG. 21B) from the back surface side of the outer frame side engaging member 16. The operation is performed. When the regulating plate 78 is pushed toward the protruding member 76, the inclined upper surface 78b of the regulating plate 78 is invaded into the lower surface of the overhanging portion 76b of the protruding member 76, and the inclined upper surface 78b is pushed along with the pushing operation of the regulating plate 78. Raises the projecting member 76 via the overhanging portion 76b.

As shown in FIGS. 22 and 23, when the regulation plate 78 is further pushed toward the projecting member 76, the rear end upper surface 78c of the regulation plate 78 penetrates into the lower surface of the overhanging portion 76b of the projecting member 76. Since the upper surface 78c of the rear end of the regulation plate 78 is formed parallel to the bottom surface, the regulation plate 78 is interposed between the overhanging portion 76b of the projecting member 76 and the first partition wall 73a of the case bodies 71R and 71L. This makes it possible to restrict the downward movement of the projecting member 76.

That is, as shown in FIGS. 22 and 23, in a state where the overhanging portion 76b of the projecting member 76 is supported by the rear end upper surface 78c of the regulation plate 78, the receiving hole 36a of the main portion side shafted support member 35 is tentatively provided. Even if a fraudulent act of directly pushing down the tip portion of the projecting member 76 projecting from the above is performed by some method, it is possible to prevent the projecting member 76 from being immersed.

Further, as shown in FIGS. 22 and 23, in a state where the overhanging portion 76b of the protruding member 76 is supported by the rear end upper surface 78c of the regulating plate 78, the hemispherical tip portion 76a1 of the protruding member 76 is the main portion. It is projected upward from the upper surface (upper side surface of FIG. 22B) of the side shaft support member 35. That is, the portion facing the inner peripheral surface of the receiving hole 36a is a columnar portion in the main body portion 76a of the projecting member 76. Therefore, even if the shaft-supported member 35 on the main portion side is pulled by a strong force in the extraction direction (left direction in FIG. 21B) and the inner peripheral surface of the receiving hole 36a comes into contact with the protruding member 76, the inner peripheral surface thereof abuts. It is not possible to apply a force that moves the projecting member 76 downward by contact.

Next, with reference to FIG. 25, a holding structure for holding the main portion side shafted support member 35 in a closed state in the inner frame 30 will be described. FIG. 25 is a rear perspective view of the inner frame 30 on the rotation tip side. In addition, in FIG. 25, the main part side shaft supported member 35 in the state where the locking by the locking device KD is released is schematically illustrated by using the alternate long and short dash line.

As shown in FIG. 25, the engaging claw KDb of the locking device KD includes a second engaging claw KDb1 that can be engaged with the upright plate 37 of the main portion side shaft support member 35. The second engaging claw KDb1 is integrally formed with a plate-shaped body forming the engaging claw KDb, and is projected downward (downward in FIG. 25) from the edge of the plate-shaped body. The second engaging claw KDb1 is engaged with the outer surface side (opposite side of the main body plate 36) of the upright plate 37 of the main portion side shaft support member 35, so that the main portion side shaft support member 35 The movement in the opening direction (that is, the state shown by the two-dot chain line in FIG. 25) is restricted, and the main portion side shaft-supported member 35 is held in the closed state shown by the solid line in FIG. 25.

On the other hand, when the engaging claw KDb is displaced in the direction of disengaging the engagement with the claw receiving member 17 of the outer frame 10 by the key operation of the cylinder lock KDa, the second engaging claw KDb is displaced. The engaging claw KDb1 is displaced upward (upward in FIG. 25). As a result, the second engaging claw KDb1 is retracted upward from the outer surface side (opposite side of the main body plate 36) of the upright plate 37 of the main portion side shaft support member 35, and the main portion side shaft support member 35 Movement from the closed state shown by the solid line in FIG. 25 is permitted. As a result, the shaft-supported member 35 on the main portion side is moved in the opening direction (that is, the state shown by the two-dot chain line in FIG. 25).

In this way, the second engaging claw KDb1 can hold the main portion side shaft support member 35 on the bottom surface side of the inner frame 30 (game machine main portion 20), so that the gaming machine main portion 20 can be held in the outer frame. It is possible to improve workability when assembling to 10. That is, the shaft-supported member 35 on the main portion side is urged by the torsion coil spring CS in the direction of being opened with respect to the main portion 20 of the gaming machine, and this is played by the second engaging claw KDb1. If it can be held on the bottom surface side of the machine main portion 20 (held in a closed state), the operator can hold the main portion side shaft support member 35 in a closed state by himself / herself, for example, with one hand. However, it is not necessary to perform the complicated work of assembling the game machine main part 20 to the outer frame 10, and it is possible to concentrate only on the work of assembling the game machine main part 20 to the outer frame 10.

Here, the second engaging claw KDb1 that holds the main portion side shafted support member 35 is integrally formed with the engaging claw KDb. Therefore, when the engagement between the engaging claw KDb and the claw receiving member 17 of the outer frame 10 is released by the operation of the locking device KD (key operation of the cylinder lock KDa), the engagement is interlocked with the releasing operation. The holding (engagement) of the shaft-supported member 35 on the main portion side by the second engaging claw KDb1 can also be released.

Therefore, when assembling the gaming machine main portion 20 to the outer frame 10, the main portion side shaft support member 35 is held by the second engaging claw KDb1 to improve the workability of the assembling work, and after assembling. The gaming machine main unit 20 can be opened with respect to the outer frame 10 only by operating the locking device KD (key operation of the cylinder lock KDa). That is, with only one key operation on the cylinder lock KDa, the lock on the outer frame 10 of the gaming machine main portion 20 and the holding by the second engaging claw KDb1 on the main portion side shaft support member 35 can be released at the same time. It can be carried out.

To release the holding (engagement) of the main shaft side supported member 35 by the second engaging claw KDb1, the engaging claw KDb is operated in addition to operating the locking device KD (key operation of the cylinder lock KDa). It is also possible by doing. That is, as described above, the first sub-member to which the engaging claw KDb is attached is configured to be displaceable independently of the main member which is displaced in conjunction with the key operation, so that the key operation is not performed. In addition, for example, the second engaging claw KDb1 can also be used by an operator manually directly operating the first auxiliary member (engagement claw KDb) from the back side of the gaming machine main portion 20 (operation of a predetermined operation portion). The holding (engagement) of the shaft-supported member 35 on the main portion side can be released.

Further, as shown in FIG. 25, the shaft-supported member 35 on the main portion side is formed with an upright notch 37a formed by cutting out a part of the upright plate 37, and this upright notch 37a is formed. The second engaging claw KDb1 engages with the outer surface side of the vertical wall portion (the portion erected from the main body plate 36) left in the forming portion of 37a.

Here, in the configuration in which the second engaging claw KDb1 is engaged with the outer surface side of the erection plate 37 without providing the erection notch 37a, the R-shaped curved portion of the erection plate 37 (from the main body plate 36). It becomes necessary to engage the second engaging claw KDb1 with the connecting portion between the vertical wall portion to be erected and the portion folded back from the erected tip of the vertical wall portion), and the engagement becomes unstable. .. On the other hand, as described above, the second engaging claw KDb1 is engaged with the outer surface side of the vertical wall portion (the portion erected from the main body plate 36) left in the forming portion of the vertical cutout portion 37a. With the configuration, the engagement between the flat surfaces can be stabilized (reliable).

Next, a second embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 26 and 27. In the first embodiment, the case where the edge portion of the main body plate 36 opposite to the upright plate 37 of the main portion side shaft support member 35 is formed in a flat surface shape has been described, but the second embodiment has been described. The second erection plate 237a is erected on the edge of the main body plate 36 opposite to the erection plate 37 in the main portion side shaft support member 35 in the above. The same parts as those in the first embodiment described above are designated by the same reference numerals, and the description thereof will be omitted.

26 (a) is a top view of the main portion side shaft support member 235 in the second embodiment, and FIG. 26 (b) is a main portion side shaft in the direction of arrow XXVIb of FIG. 26 (a). It is a front view of the support member 235. Further, FIG. 27 is a cross-sectional view of the main portion side shaft-supported member 235 in the line XXVII-XXVII of FIG. 26 (b).

As shown in FIGS. 26 and 27, the main shaft-supported member 235 in the second embodiment has an edge of the main body plate 36 along the longitudinal direction (left-right direction of FIG. 26 (a)) of the main body plate 36. A second erection plate 237a erected from a portion (an edge portion opposite to the edge portion on which the erection plate 37 is formed, the lower side in FIG. 26A) is provided.

The second erection plate 237a is erected in the same direction as the erection plate 37. That is, in a state where the shaft-supported member 235 on the main portion side is connected (engaged) to the engaging member 16 on the outer frame side (see FIG. 22), the second upright plate 237a is erected from the main body plate 36. The direction can be matched with the direction in which the tip portion of the protruding member 76 is projected onto the upper surface of the main body plate 36. Therefore, in a state where the gaming machine main portion 20 is assembled to the outer frame 10 (see FIG. 1), a second erection is performed to access the tip portion of the protruding member 76 from the front side of the gaming machine main portion 20. It can be made difficult by the plate 237a.

In a state where a step is provided on the bottom surface of the resin base 31 of the inner frame 30 and the main portion side shaft support member 235 is closed to the inner frame 30, the step surface (high bottom surface and low bottom surface) of the bottom surface of the resin base 31 The outer surface (left side surface of FIG. 27) of the second standing plate 237a may be formed so as to face each other on the surface connecting the spaces. As a result, it is possible to make it more difficult to access the tip portion of the projecting member 76 from the front surface side of the gaming machine main portion 20.

Next, a third embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 28 and 29. In the first embodiment, the case where the tip portion of the projecting member 76 is exposed when the main portion side shaft support member 35 is connected to the outer frame side engaging member 16 has been described (see FIG. 22). The main portion side shaft support member 335 in the third embodiment is formed so as to be able to cover the tip portion of the protruding member 76 when connected to the outer frame side engaging member 16. The same parts as those in the first embodiment described above are designated by the same reference numerals, and the description thereof will be omitted.

FIG. 28 is a perspective view of the main portion side axial support member 335 according to the third embodiment, and FIG. 29 is a perspective view of the outer frame side engaging member 16 and the main portion side axial support member 335. In FIG. 28, a part of the shaft-supported member 335 on the main portion side is partially viewed in cross section. FIG. 29 shows a state in which the regulation plate 78 is pushed in and the connection operation is completed. Further, in FIG. 29, the side surface of the case body 71R, which is a mating surface with the case body 71L, is shown with hatching.

As shown in FIG. 28, the main portion side shaft support member 335 in the third embodiment receives a plurality of places (five places in the present embodiment, the same places as the receiving holes 36a in the first embodiment). The recess 336a is recessed. The receiving recess 336a is a recess having an opening on the bottom surface side (lower side in FIG. 28) for receiving the tip end portion of the projecting member 76 of the outer frame side engaging member 16 (engaging device 70). That is, the receiving recess 336a is a container-shaped recess formed by drawing the punch from the bottom surface side of the main body 36.

The inner diameter of the opening of the receiving recess 336a is slightly larger than the outer diameter of the main body portion 76a (large diameter portion) of the protruding member 76, and the recessing depth of the receiving recess 336a is the rear end upper surface 78c of the regulating plate 78. In a state where the overhanging portion 76b of the projecting member 76 is supported by the above, the depth at which the tip end portion of the projecting member 76 can be received (that is, the tip portion 76a1 of the projecting member 76 and the inner peripheral surface 336a1 of the receiving recess 336a). It is set to the depth at which a slight gap is formed between them.

As shown in FIG. 29, a state in which the overhanging portion 76b of the projecting member 76 is supported by the rear end upper surface 78c of the regulation plate 78 (that is, the main portion side shaft support member 335 and the outer frame side engaging member 16 are In the connected (engaged) state), the tip portion of the projecting member 76 can be covered (covered) by the receiving recess 336a. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the protruding member 76 from being operated (moved in the immersion direction) by a player or the like and illegally breaking the connection between the outer frame side engaging member 16 and the main portion side shafted support member 335. ..

Next, a fourth embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 30 to 36. In the first embodiment, of the two shafts that rotatably support the game machine main portion 20 with respect to the outer frame 10, the shaft located on the upper side (connecting shaft portion 15d) is on the outer frame 10 side. Although the case of being arranged has been described, the upper shaft (second support shaft 434) of the two shafts in the fourth embodiment is arranged on the gaming machine main portion 420 side. The same parts as those in the first embodiment described above are designated by the same reference numerals, and the description thereof will be omitted.

FIG. 30 is an exploded perspective view of the pachinko machine 401 showing a state in which the pachinko machine 401 according to the fourth embodiment is disassembled into an outer frame 410 and a game machine main portion 420. FIG. 31 is a perspective view of the inner frame 430 and the outer frame 410, and shows a state in which the component A4 of the inner frame 430 is opened with respect to the inner frame 430. FIG. 32 is a perspective view of the outer frame 410 and the component A4 of the inner frame 430. FIG. 33 (a) is a perspective view of the outer frame 410 in a state where the component A4 of the inner frame 430 is connected, and FIG. 33 (b) is an outside in a state where the component A4 of the inner frame 430 is removed. It is a perspective view of a frame 410.

In the fourth embodiment, when the gaming machine main portion 420 is designed as a new model, not only the support shaft 34 that rotatably supports the main portion side shaft support member 35 to the gaming machine main portion 420, but also the support shaft 34. The second support shaft 434 that rotatably supports the second shaft-supported member 435 on the main portion side to the gaming machine main portion 420 also has a relationship with the outer frame 410 (that is, the outer frame 410 as an old model). There is no need to consider it, and the degree of freedom in its design can be increased. That is, in the present embodiment, in addition to the main portion side shaft support member 35, the main portion side second shaft support member 435 is also connected to the outer frame side second engagement member 16 on the outer frame 410 side ( It suffices if the structure is such that it can be engaged), and it is not necessary to design the second support shaft 434 in relation to the outer frame 410 (the second engagement member 416 on the outer frame side) like the support shaft 34. , The degree of freedom in design can be secured. Therefore, even in the vicinity of the support shaft 434, for example, the design of the front door 40 can be improved.

As shown in FIGS. 30 to 33, the outer frame 410 has four plate members (upper and lower frame bodies 411 and lower frame bodies 12 located above and below, and left and right left and right connecting them, as in the first embodiment. By connecting the frame body 413 and the right frame body 14) to the four sides, it is formed into a rectangular frame shape in front view.

The upper frame body 411 has the upper frame body 11 in the first embodiment in that an outer frame side passage 411c for receiving the engaging piece 436 is formed at an end portion on the side to which the left frame body 413 is connected. However, the other configurations are the same. Further, the left frame body 413 is different in that the width dimension (dimension in the direction perpendicular to the frame surface) is smaller than that of the left frame body 13 in the first embodiment because the vertical members SM are arranged side by side. , Other configurations are the same as the left frame body 13.

The outer frame 410 has an outer frame side second engaging member 416 arranged at a connecting portion between the upper frame body 411 and the left frame body 413 and an outer frame side engaging member arranged on the upper surface of the lower frame body 12. A member 16 is provided. The outer frame side second engaging member 416 is a member formed by bending a plate-shaped body made of a metal material into a predetermined shape, and is formed on the upper surface side (mounting surface 411c) of the upper frame body 411 and the outer side of the left frame body 413. It is fastened and fixed to the side surface with a fastening screw.

Similar to the first embodiment, the inner frame 430 is mainly composed of a resin base 31 having a substantially rectangular shape in front view, and is located on the rotation base end side (the side connected to the outer frame 410) of the resin base 31. A main portion side connecting member 32 is arranged at the upper end portion (upper side), and a support metal fitting 33 (see FIGS. 4 and 5) is arranged at the lower end portion (lower side).

In the fourth embodiment, the main portion side second shafted support member 435 is rotatably supported by the main portion side connecting member 32 via the second support shaft 434. An engaging piece 436 is fastened and fixed to the second supported shaft member 435 on the main portion side by a fastening screw, and the engaging piece 436 is directed outward from the end opposite to the second support shaft 434. Is thrust. Similar to the first embodiment, the main portion side shaft support member 35 is rotatably supported by the support metal fitting 33 via the support shaft 34.

The main portion side shaft support member 35 and the main portion side second shaft support member 435 form a part of a mechanism (connecting structure) for connecting the outer frame 410 and the gaming machine main portion 420 so as to be openable and closable. It is a member. That is, the main portion side shaft support member 35 is connected to the outer frame side engaging member 16 of the outer frame 410 as in the first embodiment, while in the fourth embodiment, the main portion side second member. The shaft support member 435 (engagement piece 436) is connected to the outer frame side second engagement member 416 of the outer frame 410. The detailed configuration of this connected structure will be described later.

A vertical member SM is arranged between the main portion side shaft-supported member 35 and the main portion-side second shaft-supported member 435. The vertical member SM is a plate-shaped body formed from a metal extruded material in an L-shaped cross section, and its lower end side (lower side in FIG. 32) is the base end portion (rotation center) of the main portion side shafted support member 35. The upper end side (upper side of FIG. 32) is fastened and fixed to the inner side surface of the second shafted support member 435 on the main portion side by the fastening screw while being fastened and fixed to the outer surface of the side).

As described above, since the main part side shafted support member 35 and the main part side second shafted support member 435 are connected by the vertical member SM, the main part side shafted support member 35 and the main part side second covered member 35 are connected. When either one of the shaft support members 435 is rotated with respect to the gaming machine main portion 420 (inner frame 430), the other can be rotated in conjunction with the rotation of one of them. That is, the rotation positions of both the main portion side shafted support member 35 and the main portion side second shafted support member 435 can always be maintained in the same phase. Therefore, when the main portion side shafted support member 35 is connected to the outer frame side engaging member 16 and the main portion side second shafted support member 435 is connected to the outer frame side second engaging member 416, these are used. Since it is not necessary to adjust the phases of both members 35 and 435 individually, it is possible to improve the workability of the connecting work.

Next, with reference to FIGS. 34 to 36, a connecting structure for connecting the outer frame 410 and the gaming machine main portion 420 so as to be openable and closable will be described. First, with reference to FIG. 34, the detailed configuration of the outer frame side second engaging member 416 and the main portion side second shafted support member 435 will be described.

34 (a) is a perspective view of the outer frame 410, and corresponds to the state of FIG. 33 (b) (the state in which the component A4 of the inner frame 430 is removed). 34 (b) is a cross-sectional view of the outer frame 410 in the line XXXIVb-XXXIVb of FIG. 34 (a), and FIG. 34 (c) is a perspective view of the engaging piece 436.

As shown in FIG. 34, the outer frame side second engaging member 416 is substantially perpendicular to the plate-shaped upper surface plate 416a arranged on the upper surface of the upper frame body 411 and the upper surface plate 416a, and the left frame body 413. Mainly includes a plate-shaped side plate 416b arranged on the outer surface of the above. The upper surface plate 416a is fastened and fixed to the upper frame body 411, and the side plate 416b is fastened and fixed to the left frame body 413 by fastening screws. Further, the front-rear direction dimension (FIG. 34 (b) left-right direction dimension) of the top plate 416a and the side surface plate 416b is set to be about ½ of the front-rear direction dimension (FIG. 34 (b) left-right direction dimension) of the upper frame body 411. NS.

The upper surface plate 416a of the outer frame side second engaging member 416 has an insertion portion 416c recessed in the lower surface thereof (the surface abutting on the mounting surface 411c of the upper frame body 411). The insertion portion 416c is a portion where the engagement piece 436 of the second shafted support member 435 on the main portion side is inserted and the inserted engagement piece 436 is detachably connected (see FIG. 35). It has a width slightly larger than the width of the unit 436 and is formed in a groove shape having a U-shaped cross section with the lower surface side open.

Here, the insertion portion 416c is extended along a direction perpendicular to the frame surface of the outer frame 410 (the left-right direction in FIG. 34 (b), that is, the insertion direction of the engaging piece 436). That is, the linear direction (that is, the insertion direction of the engaging piece 436) when connecting the second shafted support member 435 on the main portion side to the second engaging member 416 on the outer frame side is the shafted support member 35 on the main portion side. Is parallel to the linear direction when the outer frame side connecting member 16 is connected, so that these can be connected only by the operation of moving the game machine main portion 420 in the linear direction with respect to the outer frame 410. Therefore, even when the main part side second shafted support member 435 and the outer frame side second engaging member 416 are further provided in addition to the main part side shafted support member 35 and the outer frame side connecting member 16, the game It is possible to improve workability when assembling the machine main portion 420 to the outer frame 410. The extending direction of the outer frame side passage 411d, which will be described later, is also parallel to the insertion portion 416c. Therefore, workability can be improved from this point as well.

The starting end of the insertion portion 416c is opened on one side of the upper surface plate 416a (the side facing the side surface of the main portion side second shafted support member 435 and on the right side in FIG. 34 (b)), and is opened from this opening. The engagement piece 436 is inserted. The end of the insertion portion 416c does not reach the side surface of the other side of the upper surface plate 416a (the back side in the insertion direction of the engaging piece 436 and the left side in FIG. 34 (b)), and the lower surface of the upper surface plate 416a is the upper frame. It is in close contact with the mounting surface 411c of the body 411. Thereby, the engaging piece 436 can be shielded from the outside.

The cross-sectional shape of the insertion portion 416c shown in FIG. 34 (b) is formed to be substantially the same as the outer shape of the engaging piece 436 (see FIG. 35 (b)). That is, the ceiling surface (upper surface of FIG. 34 (b)) of the insertion portion 416c is partially raised on the terminal side (left side of FIG. 34 (b)), and the locking surface 416c1 is provided at the boundary portion having different heights. It is formed. The locking surface 416c is formed as a flat surface perpendicular to the insertion direction of the engaging piece 436 (direction perpendicular to the frame surface, left-right direction in FIG. 34B). Therefore, when the engaging piece 436 is inserted into the insertion portion 416c, the folded-back tip of the engaging piece 436 in the folded-back portion 436c is locked to the locking surface 416c1, whereby the outer frame side second engaging member 416 is engaged. The second shafted support member 435 (engagement piece 436) on the main portion side is connected.

The upper surface of the outer frame 411 is on the upper surface when the height position of the mounting surface 411c is one step lower than the other surfaces and the upper surface plate 416a of the outer frame side second engaging member 416 is attached to the mounting surface 411c. The upper surface of the face plate 416a is slightly lower than the upper surface of the outer frame 411 (the surface other than the mounting surface 411c).

An outer frame side passage 411d is formed on the mounting surface 411c at a position facing the insertion portion 416c of the outer frame side second engaging member 416. The outer frame side passage 411d is a passage through which the engaging piece 436 passes when the engaging piece 436 of the second shafted support member 435 on the main portion side is inserted into the insertion portion 416c of the second engaging member 416 on the outer frame side. It is a part for forming a space (see FIG. 36) for the engaging piece 436 inserted into the insertion portion 416c to swing (see FIG. 36) while forming (see FIG. 35 (a)), and is wider than the width of the engaging piece 436. Also has a slightly larger width (that is, a width equivalent to the insertion portion 416c) and is along the direction perpendicular to the frame surface of the outer frame 410 (the left-right direction in FIG. 34 (b), that is, the same direction as the insertion portion 416c). It is formed in the shape of a groove having a U-shaped cross section that is extended.

The starting end of the outer frame side passage 411d is opened on one side of the mounting surface 411c (front side of the outer frame 410, right side in FIG. 34 (b)), and the engaging piece 436 can be inserted through this opening. Therefore, in the work of connecting the main portion side second shafted support member 435 to the outer frame side second engaging member 416, in the initial stage (the stage of arranging the engaging piece 436 in the outer frame side passage 411d). Workability is improved.

The end of the outer frame side passage 411d does not reach the side surface of the other side of the upper frame body 411 (the back side of the outer frame 410, the left side of FIG. 34 (b)), and as described above, the lower surface of the upper surface plate 416a It is in close contact with the mounting surface 411c of the upper frame body 411. Thereby, the engaging piece 436 can be shielded from the outside.

The upper surface side (upper side of FIG. 34 (b)) of the outer frame side passage 411d is opened over the entire area, and the lower surface side (lower side of FIG. 34 (b)) is the insertion portion of the outer frame side second engaging member 416. Only the portion corresponding to 416c (the back side in the insertion direction of the engaging piece 436 and the left side in FIG. 34 (b)) is partially opened.

It should be noted that the remaining portion of the portion formed by opening the lower surface side of the outer frame side passage 411d (the front side in the insertion direction of the engaging piece 436 and the right side in FIG. 34 (b)) is directed toward the open portion. It is formed with a downward slope. Therefore, due to the space formed by this downward inclination, the engaging piece 436 (thin plate portion) swings downward when inserted into the insertion portion 416c (that is, when further inserted from the position shown in FIG. 35 (a)). 436b) can be accepted, and as a result, it is possible to prevent the folding angle from becoming smaller (that is, the locking ability with respect to the locking surface 416c1) due to the plastic deformation of the folded portion 436c.

The second shaft-supported member 435 on the main portion side extends horizontally from the upper surface plate 435a to which the engaging piece 436 is fastened and fixed to the bottom surface side, the side plate 435b substantially perpendicular to the upper surface plate 435a, and the upper surface plate 435a. It is provided with an extension plate 435c to which a second support shaft 434 is provided and fixed to the extension tip in a state of being projected from the bottom surface.

The width dimension of the upper surface plate 435a is the same as the width dimension of the upper surface plate 416a of the outer frame side second engaging member 416 (that is, the width dimension of the mounting surface 411c of the upper frame body 411). Further, the side plate 435b is fastened and fixed to the outer surface at the upper end (upper side of FIG. 34A) of the vertical member SM by a fastening screw.

The engaging piece 436 includes a base piece 436a, a thin plate portion 436b extending from the base piece 436a, and a folded-back portion 436c formed by folding back one side (opposite side of the base piece 436a) of the thin plate portion 436b. 436a to 436c of each of these parts are integrally formed from a metal material.

The base portion 436a is provided with a fastening hole in which a female screw is threaded on the inner peripheral surface in the central portion, and the fastening screw is screwed into the fastening hole to form a second shafted support member 435 on the main portion side. The engaging piece 436 (base 436a) is fastened and fixed to the bottom surface of the top plate 435a. The plate thickness dimension of the portion where the base portion 436a and the upper surface plate 435a of the main portion side second shaft support member 435 are overlapped is equivalent to the plate thickness dimension of the upper surface plate 416a of the outer frame side second engaging member 416. Will be done.

The thin plate portion 436b has a smaller plate thickness than the base portion 436a, and its bottom surface is formed flush with the bottom surface of the base portion 436a. That is, the engaging piece 436 has a step between the upper surface of the thin plate portion 436b and the upper surface of the base portion 436a, and the upper surface of the thin plate portion 436b is lowered with respect to the upper surface of the base portion 436a.

By increasing the plate thickness dimension of the base portion 436a in this way, the screwing strength can be secured and the engaging piece 436 can be firmly fastened and fixed to the upper surface plate 435a. On the other hand, in a state where the engaging piece 436 is inserted into the insertion portion 416c, a space (gap) can be formed between the upper surface of the thin plate portion 436b and the facing surface of the ceiling surface of the insertion portion 416c (FIG. 35 (FIG. 35). b)), the operation (swinging and disconnection) on the engaging piece 436 can be easily performed.

Further, the thin plate portion 436b has an opening 436b1 opened at a position biased toward the base portion 436a from the center in the longitudinal direction thereof, and the side edges on both sides of the opening 436b1 are directed toward the opening 436b1. A dent is formed. Also with these, it is possible to easily perform an operation (swing or disconnection) on the engaging piece 436.

The folded-back portion 436c is formed by folding back one side of the thin plate portion 436b to the upper surface side (upper side in FIG. 34 (c)), and the height position of the folded-back tip is made higher than the upper surface of the base portion 436a. When the engaging piece 436 is inserted into the insertion portion 416c, the folded tip of the folded portion 436c is locked to the locking surface 416c1 of the inserting portion 416c, so that the engaging piece 436 is in the opposite direction of insertion (FIG. 34). Movement to (b) to the right) is restricted (see FIG. 35 (b)).

Next, with reference to FIGS. 35 and 36, the outer frame side second engaging member 416 disposed on the outer frame 410 and the main portion side second shafted support member 435 disposed on the inner frame 30. The connection operation between them and the release operation for releasing the connection will be described.

35 (a) and 35 (c) are perspective sectional views of the connecting structure portion, and FIGS. 35 (b) and 35 (d) are side sectional views of the connecting structure portion. Note that FIGS. 35 (a) and 35 (b) correspond to the start of the connection operation, and FIGS. 35 (c) and 35 (d) correspond to the end of the connection operation.

As shown in FIGS. 35 (a) and 35 (b), the connecting operation is started, and the second shaft-supported member 435 on the main portion side is directed toward the second engaging member 416 on the outer frame side on the mounting surface 411c. By being pushed in (moved forward), the folded-back portion 436c of the engaging piece 436 is brought into contact with the insertion start end side opening of the insertion portion 416c. That is, the engaging piece 436 is moved (guided) by the outer frame side passage 411d, so that the engaging piece 436 can be positioned with respect to the insertion portion 416c.

When the second shaft-supported member 435 on the main portion side is further pushed (moved forward) toward the second engaging member 416 on the outer frame side from this positioned state, the insertion start end side of the outer frame side passage 416c The inclined surface of the folded-back portion 436c is pushed downward (lower side in FIG. 35 (b)) by the opening, and the engaging piece 436 (thin plate portion 436b) is elastically swung (deformed) downward, and the insertion portion 416c. It is inserted inside. After that, when the folded tip of the folded portion 436c reaches the locking surface 416c1, the engaging piece 436 (thin plate portion 436b) is swung (deformed) upward by the elastic recovery force. As a result, as shown in FIGS. 35 (c) and 35 (d), the folded end of the folded portion 436c is locked to the locking surface 416c1.

Since the engaging piece 436 has an opening 436b1 and a recess formed in the thin plate portion 436b to be easily deformed, the engaging piece 436 is deformed into the thin plate portion 436b in the process of inserting the engaging piece 436 into the insertion portion 416c (lower side). (Elastic swing) can be concentrated, and plastic deformation of the folded-back portion 436c itself and the connecting portion between the folded-back portion 436c and the thin plate portion 436b can be suppressed. Therefore, it is possible to suppress the folding angle of the folded portion 436c with respect to the thin plate portion 436b from being reduced, and to reliably lock the folded tip of the folded portion 436c to the locking surface 416c1, and as a result, the locking ability is increased. Can be secured.

The shape of the portion of the insertion portion 416c of the outer frame side second engaging member 416 that receives the folded portion 436c of the engaging piece 436 is the same as the shape of the folded portion 436c (that is, the width dimension (paper surface of FIG. 35 (d)). The outer surface of the folded-back portion 436c and the connecting portion of the folded-back portion 436c and the thin plate portion 436b is set to have substantially the same vertical dimension (vertical dimension) and front-rear direction dimension (horizontal dimension in FIG. 35 (d)) and substantially the same inclination angle). Is a structure that is almost in close contact (face-to-face arrangement) with the inner surface of the insertion portion 416c, so even if the engaging piece 436 is forcibly pulled out in the anti-insertion direction, the space for the folded portion 436c to be deformed (escape) is reduced. , It is possible to suppress the release of the locked state.

Here, on the upper surface of the outer frame side engaging member 16 (upper surface plate 81 of the outer wall forming member 80), as described above, the main portion side shaft-supported member 35 (main portion-side shaft-supported member 35 is interposed). A region for temporarily placing the main portion 20) of the gaming machine is formed (see FIG. 12), but in a state where the shaft-supported member 35 on the main portion side is placed in such a region, the second engagement on the outer frame side is performed. A state in which the member 416 and the second shafted support member 435 on the main portion side are not connected, and at least the engaging piece 436 does not reach the insertion side opening (right side in FIG. 35B) of the insertion portion 416c. Will be done.

Therefore, when assembling the gaming machine main portion 420 to the outer frame 410, first, the tip end side (standing plate 37 side) of the main portion side shafted support portion 35 of the gaming machine main portion 420 is attached to the outer frame side engaging member. It is placed (temporarily placed) on the above-mentioned area on the upper surface of 16 and then the main portion 420 of the gaming machine is pushed in to move (slide) the shaft-mounted support portion 35 on the main portion side along the upper surface of the outer frame side engaging member 16. As a result, while the protruding member 76 of the outer frame side engaging member 16 is inserted (accepted) into the receiving hole 36a of the main portion side shafted support member 35 (see FIGS. 20 to 24), the outer frame side second engaging member is engaged. The member 416 and the second shafted support member 435 on the main portion side can be connected (the folded-back portion 436c of the engaging piece 436 is locked to the locking surface 416c1 of the insertion portion 416c).

That is, the operator performs the work when connecting the second engaging member 416 on the outer frame side and the second shafted support member 435 on the main portion side and accepting the projecting member 76 into the receiving hole 36a. It is not necessary to support the weight of the gaming machine main portion 420, and after the gaming machine main portion 420 is temporarily placed on the outer frame side engaging member 16, it is only necessary to push it in the horizontal direction. Therefore, it is possible to improve the workability of the work of assembling the gaming machine main portion 420 to the outer frame 410.

In the state where the main portion side shaft support member 35 is placed in the area for temporary placement, the engaging piece 436 reaches the front side opening (right side of FIG. 35B) of the outer frame side passage 411d. It may be absent. When the gaming machine main portion 420 is temporarily placed on the outer frame side engaging member 16, it is not necessary to arrange the engaging piece 436 in the outer frame side passage 411d, so that the workability is further improved accordingly. be able to.

FIG. 36 (a) is a perspective sectional view of the connected structure portion, and FIG. 36 (b) is a side sectional view of the connected structure portion. Note that FIGS. 36 (a) and 36 (b) correspond to the execution of the release operation for releasing the connection.

As shown in FIGS. 36 (a) and 36 (b), when the connection between the engaging piece 436 and the insertion portion 416c is released, the gaming machine main portion 420 is opened with respect to the outer frame 410. This can be done by operating the engaging piece 436 using the jig J from the space inside the frame of the outer frame 410 (that is, the lower surface side of the upper frame body 411). That is, the jig J has a hook-shaped hook portion formed at the tip of the rod-shaped body, and the hook portion is inserted into the opening portion 436b1 of the engaging piece 436, and the thin plate portion 436b is pulled downward to be engaged. The thin plate portion 436b is elastically rocked (deformed). As a result, the folded tip of the folded portion 436c can be moved downward from the locking surface 416c1 of the insertion portion 416c, and the locked state between the two can be released.

As described above, in the fourth embodiment, the engaging piece 436 of the second shafted support member 435 on the main portion side is inserted into the insertion portion 416c of the second engaging member 416 on the outer frame side from one side thereof. The folded tip of the engaged piece 436 at the folded portion 436c is locked to the locking surface 416c1 of the insertion portion 416c, and the outer frame side second engaging member 416 and the main portion side second shafted support member 435 are connected. Since it is a structure and both can be connected only by moving in one direction, it is possible to improve the workability of the work of assembling the game machine main portion 420 to the outer frame 410. In this case, since the engaging piece 436 is made of a plate-shaped body and has a simple structure in which a part thereof is folded back to form the folded-back portion 436c, it is possible to reduce the cost of parts.

Further, in a state where the second shafted support member 435 on the main portion side and the second engaging member 416 on the outer frame side are connected, the engaging piece 436 is outside the outer frame 410 by the second engaging member 416 on the outer frame side. Since it is shielded from (upper surface side and back surface side) (see FIG. 35 (d)), it can be difficult for the engaging piece 436 to be operated from the outside. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the connection between the second shafted support member 435 on the main portion side and the second engaging member 416 on the outer frame side from being illegally released.

On the other hand, in the engaging piece 436, at least the thin plate portion 436b is exposed inside the outer frame 410 (lower surface side of the upper frame body 411, lower side in FIG. 35 (d)), so that the gaming machine is exposed to the outer frame 410. In the state where the main portion 420 is open, by operating the exposed portion of the engaging piece 436 (opening 436b1 of the thin plate portion 436b), the folded portion of the engaging piece 436 by the locking surface 416c1 of the insertion portion 416c. The locking of the folded-back tip in 436c can be released to release the connection between the second shaft-supported member 435 on the main portion side and the second engaging member 416 on the outer frame side.

In the state where the gaming machine main portion 420 is closed with respect to the outer frame 410, parts (not shown) arranged in the gaming machine main portion 420 are arranged in the frame of the outer frame 410 (on the lower surface side of the upper frame body 411). Since such a component faces the portion (thin plate portion 436b) of the engaging piece 436 exposed inside the outer frame 410 (lower surface side of the upper frame body 411), the engaging piece 436 is operated. Can be difficult.

Next, a fifth embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 37 to 40. In the first embodiment, the engaging claw KDb of the locking device KD is arranged on the main portion 20 of the gaming machine, and the claw receiving member 17 with which the engaging claw KDb is engaged is arranged on the outer frame 10. Although the case has been described, the claw receiving member 17 in the fifth embodiment is arranged on the game machine main portion 520 (component A5 of the inner frame 530). The same parts as those of the above-described embodiments are designated by the same reference numerals, and the description thereof will be omitted.

FIG. 37 is an exploded perspective view of the pachinko machine 501 showing a state in which the pachinko machine 501 according to the fifth embodiment is disassembled into an outer frame 510 and a game machine main portion 520. FIG. 38 is a perspective view of the outer frame 510 and the inner frame 530, and shows a state in which the component A5 of the inner frame 530 is opened with respect to the inner frame 530. FIG. 39 is a perspective view of the outer frame 510 and the component A5 of the inner frame 530. FIG. 40 is a perspective view of the outer frame 510 in a state where the components A5 of the inner frame 530 are connected.

In the fifth embodiment, similarly to the fourth embodiment, the support shaft 34 and the second support shaft 434 are arranged on the component A5 of the inner frame 530, and the inner frame 530 ( The game machine main part 520) is detachably connected to the outer frame 510. Therefore, when designing the gaming machine main unit 520 as a new model, the degree of freedom in designing the support shaft 34 and the second support shaft 434 can be increased, and the degree of freedom in design can be increased by that amount in the vicinity of both support shafts 34 and 434. The design of the front door 40 can be improved.

Further, in the fifth embodiment, the locking device KD (claw receiving member 17) is also arranged on the component A5. Therefore, when designing the gaming machine main unit 520 as a new model while diverting the outer frame 510 left in the island equipment, it is not necessary to consider the relationship between the locking device KD and the outer frame 510. Therefore, it is possible to increase the degree of freedom in the design and develop a more secure locking device KD.

As shown in FIGS. 37 to 40, the outer frame 510 has four plate members (upper frame bodies 511 and lower frame bodies 12 located above and below, and them, as in the first embodiment and the fourth embodiment. By connecting the left and right left frame bodies 413 and the right frame body 514) to be connected to the four sides, a rectangular frame shape in front view is formed.

In the upper frame body 411, a slit groove 511e is formed on one side of the mounting surface 411c (the side opposite to the side to which the left frame body 413 is connected), and the arrangement of the sealing plate 11b is omitted (horizontal frame body). It differs from the upper frame body 411 in the fourth embodiment in that it is replaced with 538), but other configurations are the same as the upper frame body 411.

The slit groove 511e is a slit-shaped groove in which the upper surface side and the lower surface side of the upper frame body 511 are open, and the gaming machine main portion 520 (component A5 of the inner frame 530) is closed with respect to the outer frame 510. Then (see FIG. 40), the connecting plate 535d of the second shaft-bearing support member 535 on the main portion side is housed in the slit groove 511e.

The thickness dimension (dimension in the direction connecting the right frame body 413 and the left frame body 514) of the right frame body 514 is smaller than that of the right frame body 14 in the first embodiment because the vertical frame bodies 537 are arranged side by side. The other configuration is the same as that of the right frame body 14, except that the claw receiving member 17 is not arranged.

Similar to the first embodiment and the fourth embodiment, the inner frame 530 is mainly composed of the resin base 31 having a substantially rectangular shape in front view, and is connected to the rotation base end side (connected to the outer frame 510) of the resin base 31. The main portion side connecting member 32 is arranged at the upper end portion (upper side), and the support metal fitting 33 (see FIGS. 4 and 5) is arranged at the lower end portion (lower side). The main portion side second shafted support member 535 is rotatably supported by the portion side connecting member 32 via the second support shaft 434.

The component A5 of the inner frame 530 is a vertical frame body 537 with respect to the component A4 (main part side shafted support member 35, main part side second shafted support member 435 and vertical member SM) in the fourth embodiment. And a horizontal frame body 538 is further provided, and each of these members forms a frame shape having a rectangular front view. In a state where the gaming machine main portion 520 is connected to the outer frame 510, the component A5 is arranged in the frame of the outer frame 510 (see FIG. 40).

The second shaft-supported member 535 on the main portion side differs in that the connecting plate 535d is arranged on the edge of one side (opposite to the side plate 435b) of the upper surface plate 435a, but the other configuration is on the main portion side. It is the same as the second shafted support member 435.

The connecting plate 535d is connected to a plate-shaped portion whose upper end is connected to the upper surface plate 435a and substantially perpendicular to the upper surface plate 435a (that is, parallel to the side plate 435b) and to the lower end of the plate-shaped portion. At the same time, it is formed in an L-shaped cross section from a plate-shaped portion substantially parallel to the upper surface plate 435a. In the connecting plate 535d, the horizontal frame body 538 is connected to a portion substantially parallel to the upper surface plate 435a, and the portion substantially perpendicular to the upper surface plate 435a is slit in a state where the gaming machine main portion 520 is closed with respect to the outer frame 510. It is housed in the groove 511e.

The vertical frame body 537 and the horizontal frame body 538 are members that form a rectangular frame-like body in front view together with the main part side shaft support member 35, the main part side second shaft support member 535, and the vertical member SM, and are made of metal. It is formed from a material into a flat plate shape. The vertical frame body 537 forms a side facing the vertical member SM in the frame shape by connecting between the main portion side shafted support member 35 and the horizontal frame body 538, and the horizontal frame body 538 has a main portion. By connecting between the side second shafted support member 535 and the vertical frame body 537, a side facing the main portion side shafted support member 35 in the frame shape is formed.

In the locking device KD, the engaging claw KDb (locking moving member) is arranged on the inner frame 530, and the claw receiving member 17 (locking base member) is formed on the vertical frame body 538 (main part side shaft support member, configuration). Since it is arranged in the element A5), when the locking device KD is locked, the component A5 (main portion side shaft support member) can be made non-rotatable with respect to the gaming machine main portion 520. At the same time, when the locking device KD is in the unlocked state, the component A5 (main portion side shaft support member) can be made rotatable with respect to the gaming machine main portion 520.

That is, the component A5 (main portion side shaft support member, main portion side second shaft support member) is connected to the outer frame side engagement member 16 (and outer frame side second engagement member 416), and the gaming machine In the state where the main part 520 is assembled to the outer frame 510, the gaming machine main part 520 can be made unopenable (locked) with respect to the outer frame 510 by locking the locking device KD. By setting the locking device KD in the unlocked state, the gaming machine main unit 520 can be opened / closed (unlocked) with respect to the outer frame 510.

Here, even in the first to fourth embodiments (that is, a configuration in which the engaging claws KDb are arranged on the game machine main portions 20 and 420 and the claw receiving members 17 are arranged on the outer frames 10 and 410), the gaming machine is also used. The main parts 20, 420 can be locked to the outer frames 10, 410 by the locking device KD, but in this case, even when the gaming machine main parts 20, 420 are newly designed, they are engaged. The claw KDb needs to have a structure that can be locked and unlocked with respect to the claw receiving member 17 of the outer frames 10, 410 left in the hole, and therefore the locking device KD cannot be newly designed.

On the other hand, in the present embodiment, the component A5 includes the main part-side shaft-supported member 35, the main-side second shaft-supported member 535, and the like, and the component A5 includes the outer frame-side engaging member 16 and the main part-side engaging member 16. When connected to the outer frame 510 via the outer frame side second engaging member 416, the claw receiving member 17 is disposed on the component A5. Therefore, when designing the locking device KD, the engaging claw KDb and the claw Both of the receiving members 17 can be freely designed without considering the relationship with the outer frame 510.

In the fifth embodiment, when the gaming machine main portion 520 (component A5) is attached to the outer frame 510, the horizontal frame body 538 is arranged on the lower surface of the upper frame body 511 and is formed by the recess 11a. The lower surface side of the space is covered with the horizontal frame body 538. Therefore, while the handle hd can be stored in the recess 11a, the space provided by the recess 11a can be shielded from the outside to prevent fraud. Therefore, it is possible to reduce the product cost by omitting the arrangement of the sealing plate 11b (see FIGS. 1 to 5).

Next, a sixth embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 41 to 49. In the first embodiment, the connecting structure of the outer frame side engaging member 16 and the main portion side shaft support member 35 is configured so that the connected state cannot be changed, and the gaming machine main portion 20 is tilted with respect to the outer frame 10. Although the case where the state is not adjustable has been described, in the connection structure in the sixth embodiment, the connection state can be changed, and the inclination angle of the gaming machine main portion 20 with respect to the outer frame 610 can be adjusted. .. The same parts as those of the above-described embodiments are designated by the same reference numerals, and the description thereof will be omitted.

FIG. 41 is an exploded perspective view of the outer frame 610 and the component A6 of the inner frame in the sixth embodiment, and FIG. 42 is a perspective view of the outer frame 610 and the component A6 of the inner frame. The gaming machine main unit of the sixth embodiment is configured to be the same as the gaming machine main unit 520 of the fifth embodiment. Therefore, the illustration and description thereof will be omitted.

In the sixth embodiment, as in the fourth and fifth embodiments, the support shaft 34 and the second support shaft 434 are arranged on the component A6 of the inner frame 530, and the support shaft 34 and the second support shaft 434 are disposed of the inner frame 530 via the component A6. The frame (main part of the gaming machine) is detachably connected to the outer frame 610. Therefore, when designing the main part of the gaming machine as a new model, the degree of freedom in designing the support shaft 34 and the second support shaft 434 can be increased, and the front surface in the vicinity of both support shafts 34 and 434 can be increased accordingly. It is possible to improve the design of the door.

Further, in the sixth embodiment, an inclination angle adjusting mechanism for adjusting the relative inclination angle between the component A6 and the outer frame 610 is formed. Specifically, the attachment position of the configuration (pin member B), which is one element constituting the inclination angle adjusting mechanism, can be selected, and the component element with respect to the outer frame 610 is selected according to the attachment position of the pin member B. The relative tilt angle of A6 is adjusted. As a result, even when the outer frame 610 left in the island equipment is diverted to install the main part of the gaming machine, the main part of the gaming machine (game) can be selected by appropriately selecting the attachment position of the pin member B. The tilt angle of the machine 601) can be adjusted. That is, the inclination angle of the gaming machine 601 can be adjusted without removing the outer frame 610 from the island equipment.

As shown in FIGS. 41 and 42, the outer frame 610 has four plate members (upper and lower upper frame bodies 611 and lower frame bodies 12 and left and right frame bodies connecting them (inner surface vertical frame body 613 and outer surface). By connecting the frame body)) formed by superimposing the vertical frame body 614 to the four sides, it is formed into a rectangular frame shape in front view.

The upper frame body 611 is a narrow rod-shaped body, and both ends are fastened and fixed to the inner surface vertical frame body 613 and the outer surface vertical frame body 614 via a connecting member 612. In the assembled state of the outer frame 610, as shown in FIG. 42, the upper frame body 611 is located on the back surface side of the outer frame 610, and a space is formed on the front surface side of the upper frame body 611. Therefore, the horizontal frame body 638 and the sealing plate 639 of the component A6 can be arranged by utilizing this space (see FIG. 49).

Each of the left and right frame bodies is formed by superimposing two pieces of the inner surface vertical frame body 613 and the outer surface vertical frame body 614. Since the left frame and the right frame are mirror images, they will be described with the same reference numerals. The inner surface vertical frame body 613 is formed from a metal material into a vertically long flat plate shape, and includes a plurality of (five in this embodiment) rocking pieces 615.

Here, the swing piece 615 of the inner surface vertical frame body 613 will be described with reference to FIG. 43. 43 (a) is a partially enlarged front view of the inner surface vertical frame body 613 in the direction of arrow W1 of FIG. 41, and FIG. 43 (b) is an inner surface vertical frame body in the W3-W3 line of FIG. 43 (a). It is sectional drawing of 613.

As shown in FIG. 43, the inner surface vertical frame body 613 is formed with a slit 613a having a substantially U-shape in front view (a narrow opening that penetrates the inner surface vertical frame body 613 in the plate thickness direction), and the slit 613a is formed. The portion surrounded by is referred to as a swing piece 615. Therefore, the rocking piece 615 is the plate thickness direction of the inner vertical frame body 613 (vertical to the paper surface in FIG. 43 (a)) with the base side (the start and end sides of the slit 613a and the right side in FIG. 43 (a)) as a fulcrum. It can swing in the direction).

In this way, since the portion surrounded by the slit 613a is used as the swing piece 615, when the outer shape of the inner surface vertical frame body 613 is punched by press working, the slit 613a is also punched by the same mold at the same time to shake. The moving piece 615 can be formed, and the manufacturing man-hours can be reduced. Further, when the inner surface vertical frame body 613 and the swing piece 615 can be integrally formed and these are formed separately (for example, when the swing piece 615 is fixed to the inner surface vertical frame body 613 by fastening or welding). Compared with, the number of parts can be reduced and the assembly cost can be reduced. Therefore, it is possible to reduce the product cost of the pachinko machine 601 as a whole.

A fastening hole 615a is formed through the swing piece 615 on the swing tip side (left side in FIG. 43A). A female screw is threaded on the inner peripheral surface of the fastening hole 615a, and the threaded portion B1 of the pin member B is detachably fastened and fixed to the fastening hole 615a. With the swing of the swing piece 615, the head B2 of the pin member B is moved in a direction closer to the vertical frame body 637 or in a direction away from the vertical frame body 637 (see FIG. 46).

A plurality of swinging pieces 615 are arranged in a row in a state of being inclined with respect to the longitudinal direction (vertical direction of FIG. 43A) of the inner surface vertical frame body 613 while being spaced apart from each other by a predetermined interval (equal spacing in the present embodiment). NS. That is, each swing piece 615 has a swing tip side facing the front side (left side of FIG. 43 (a)) of the outer frame 610 and a base side facing the back side of the outer frame 610 (right side of FIG. 43 (a)). While maintaining the orientation, the lower swing piece 615 is arranged at a position shifted to the front side of the outer frame 610 (see FIG. 42). Therefore, in the plurality of rocking pieces 615, the rocking piece 615 on the uppermost side (upper side in FIG. 43A) is located on the rearmost side of the outer frame 610, and the rocking piece 615 on the lowermost side is the outermost frame 610. Located on the front side.

The pin member B is interposed between the left and right frame bodies (swing piece 615) of the outer frame 610 and the vertical frame body 637 of the game machine main part (component A6), and is a member (intervention) for connecting the two. It is a body) (see FIG. 46), and includes a male threaded portion B1 to be fastened and fixed to the fastening hole 615a of the swing piece 615, and a head portion B2 formed having a diameter larger than that of the male threaded portion B1.

The head B2 is a portion to be inserted into the receiving portion 637 of the vertical frame body 637, and the base side (upper side in FIG. 43B) connected to the male thread portion B1 is formed in a columnar shape and the tip side. (Lower side of FIG. 43B) is formed in a tapered conical shape. As a result, when the main part of the gaming machine is attached to the outer frame 610, the pin member B can be easily lifted (easily retracted backward) as the vertical frame body 637 moves (see FIG. 46 (a)). It can be easily inserted into the receiving portion 637, and after being inserted, the engagement between the receiving portion 637 and the pin member B can be strengthened (see FIG. 46 (c)).

A description will be given by returning to FIGS. 41 and 42. The inner vertical frame body 613 has a folded piece 613b in which a small piece protruding upward from the upper end surface in the longitudinal direction (upper side surface in FIG. 41) is folded downward and a side surface on the back side at the lower end in the longitudinal direction (right side in FIG. 41). It is provided with a folded piece 613c in which a small piece protruding from the surface) to the back side is folded forward. By sandwiching the outer surface vertical frame body 614 between the folded pieces 613b and 614c and fastening and fixing the folded pieces 613b and 614c to the outer surface vertical frame body 614 from the outer surface side, as shown in FIG. 42, the inner surface vertical frame body 613 and the outer surface The vertical frame bodies 614 are integrated in a superposed state.

The outer surface vertical frame body 614 is formed from a wooden material into a vertically long flat plate shape, and together with the inner surface vertical frame body 613, constitutes the left and right frame bodies of the outer frame 610. On the outer surface (the surface opposite to the surface on which the inner vertical frame 613 is overlapped) at the upper end in the longitudinal direction (upper side of FIG. 41) of the outer vertical frame 614, the connecting portion of the connecting member 612 and the folded inner surface vertical frame 613 are folded back. A recess into which each piece 613b is fitted is recessed. Similarly, a recess in which the folded piece 613c of the inner surface vertical frame body 613 is fitted is contacted on the outer surface at the lower end in the longitudinal direction (lower side in FIG. 41) of the outer surface vertical frame body 614. By fitting the folded piece 613b or the like through these recesses, lateral displacement of the connecting member 612 and the inner surface vertical frame body 613 with respect to the outer surface vertical frame body 614 is prevented, and these are firmly integrated.

Here, the outer surface vertical frame body 614 will be described with reference to FIG. 44. 44 (a) is a partially enlarged front view of the outer surface vertical frame body 614 in the direction of arrow W1 of FIG. 41, and FIG. 44 (b) is an outer surface vertical frame body in the W4-W4 line of FIG. 44 (a). It is sectional drawing of 614.

As shown in FIG. 44, the outer surface vertical frame body 614 is provided with a front view rectangular concave portion 614a on the side surface to be overlapped with the inner surface vertical frame body 613 (the front side of the paper surface in FIG. 44 (a)). The recess 614a is formed as a bottomed recess and has a depth dimension that allows the maximum swing of the swing piece 615 in the retracting direction (see FIG. 46 (b)).

Further, the recess 614a is formed at a position and a size corresponding to the arrangement region of the swing piece 615 (see FIG. 47). That is, in a state where the inner surface vertical frame body 613 and the outer surface vertical frame body 614 are overlapped with each other, all the rocking pieces 615 (five in the present embodiment) are arranged in the forming region of the recess 614a.

Since the left and right frames of the outer frame 610 are formed by superimposing two plate-shaped bodies of the inner surface vertical frame body 613 and the outer surface vertical frame body 614, the rigidity thereof can be increased. In this case, the space formed by the concave portion 614a of the outer surface vertical frame body 614 allows the swinging piece 615 to swing while shielding the swinging piece 615 from the outside (see FIG. 46 (c)). It can be difficult for the rocking piece 615 to be operated from the outside. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the connection from being illegally released.

A description will be given by returning to FIGS. 41 and 42. Similar to the component A5 in the fifth embodiment, the component A6 of the inner frame in the sixth embodiment is formed in the shape of a rectangular frame in front view, and the main part of the gaming machine is connected to the outer frame 610. In the state, the component A6 is arranged in the frame of the outer frame 610 (see FIG. 49). The frame-shaped body formed by the component A6 is composed of a main portion side shaft-supported member 35, a main portion-side second shaft-supported member 435, a vertical frame body 637, and a horizontal frame body 638.

The vertical frame body 637 is a member constituting the left and right frame bodies, is formed of a vertically long flat plate shape from a metal material, and is fastened and fixed to both ends of the main portion side shaft-supported member 35 in the longitudinal direction. Since the left frame and the right frame are mirror images, they will be described with the same reference numerals.

Here, the vertical frame body 637 will be described with reference to FIG. 45. 45 (a) is a partially enlarged front view of the vertical frame body 637 in the direction of arrow W4 of FIG. 41, and FIG. 45 (b) is the vertical frame body 637 in the W5-W5 line of FIG. 45 (a). It is a sectional view.

As shown in FIG. 45, the vertical frame body 637 has a tapered inclined surface 637a formed on one side in the width direction (left-right direction in FIG. 45B). The inclined surface 637a has one side in the width direction (the component A6 is the outer frame) from the outer surface of the component A6 (that is, the surface facing the inner vertical frame body 613 with the component A4 attached to the outer frame 610). It is formed so as to be inclined downward toward the tip side in the mounting direction (insertion direction) when mounting the 610, and the right side in FIG. 45 (b). With this inclined surface 637a, the component A6 can be smoothly inserted into the frame of the outer frame 610, and the swing piece 615 of the inner surface vertical frame body 613 can be smoothly retracted backward (see FIG. 46).

The vertical frame body 637 includes a plurality of (five in this embodiment) receiving portions 637b. The receiving portion 637b is a front view oval hole formed through the vertical frame body 637 in the plate thickness direction, and its major axis direction is the vertical direction (longitudinal direction of the vertical frame body 637, vertical direction in FIG. 45 (a)). It is arranged in a posture along with. The minor axis dimension of the receiving portion 637b is slightly larger than the outer diameter dimension of the head B2 of the pin member B.

A plurality of receiving portions 637b are arranged in a straight line parallel to the longitudinal direction (vertical direction in FIG. 45A) of the vertical frame body 637 while being spaced apart from each other at predetermined intervals (equal intervals in the present embodiment). The height position of the receiving portion 637b (position in the vertical direction in FIG. 45A) is set corresponding to the height position of each rocking piece 615.

Therefore, when the pin member B is fastened and fixed to the swing piece 615 of any one of the plurality of swing pieces 615 and the gaming machine main portion (component A6) is attached to the outer frame 610, the pin member B is attached. Head B2 is received by a predetermined receiving portion 637b (that is, a receiving portion 637b at the same height as the swing piece 615 to which the pin member B is attached). As a result, the swing piece 615 (outer frame 610) and the receiving portion 637b (game machine main portion) are connected via the pin member B.

In this case, as described above, the rowing direction of the plurality of rocking pieces 615 is inclined with respect to the longitudinal direction of the inner surface vertical frame body 613, while the rowing direction of the plurality of receiving portions 637b is the vertical frame body 637. Since it is parallel to the longitudinal direction, the outer frame 610 and the game machine main are used according to the intervening position where the pin member B is interposed (that is, the height position of the swing piece 615 to which the pin member B is fastened and fixed). The connection state with the unit (component A6) is changed. That is, the inclination angle of the main part of the gaming machine with respect to the outer frame 610 is changed.

In this way, the hole formed through the vertical frame body 637 made of the plate-shaped body is referred to as the receiving portion 637b. Therefore, when the outer shape of the vertical frame body 637 is punched by press working, the hole is simultaneously formed by the same die. By punching out, the receiving portion 637b can be easily formed, and the manufacturing man-hours can be reduced. Therefore, it is possible to reduce the product cost of the pachinko machine 601 as a whole.

Further, the receiving portion 637b has an oval shape in the front view, and the receiving portion 637b is arranged in a posture in which the major axis thereof is vertically aligned, and the major axis of the receiving portion 637b is larger than the outer diameter of the pin member B. Since it is made larger, it is easy to position the outer frame 610 and the game machine main part in the vertical direction (height direction) when receiving the pin member B in the receiving part 637b due to the dimensional difference between the major diameter and the outer diameter. can do.

A description will be given by returning to FIGS. 41 and 42. The horizontal frame body 638 is formed in a flat plate shape from a wooden material, one end side is connected to one vertical frame body 637 via a second shafted support member 435 on the main portion side, and the other end side is the other vertical frame body. Connected to 637. As a result, the horizontal frame body 638 forms a side facing the main portion side shafted support member 35 in the frame shape of the component A6.

The horizontal frame body 638 is provided with a recess 638a capable of accommodating the handle hd, and a sealing plate 639 covering the area corresponding to the recess 638a is arranged on the lower surface. Further, on one side of the vertical frame body 637 (right side in FIG. 41), a claw receiving member 17 (see FIG. 39) is arranged on the inner surface side thereof (the side facing the other vertical frame body 637).

Next, with reference to FIGS. 46 and 47, the connection structure of the gaming machine main unit (component A6) to the outer frame 610 and the connection operation thereof will be described. 46 (a) to 46 (c) are cross-sectional views of a connecting structure portion showing a connecting structure between the outer frame 610 and the game machine main portion (component A6), and are cross-sectional views taken along the line W2-W2 of FIG. 42. Corresponds to the figure.

47 (a) to 47 (c) are perspective views of the outer frame 610 in a state where the gaming machine main portion (component A6) is connected, and is a connection between the outer frame 610 and the gaming machine main portion. The state in which the position is changed is shown, and the inclination angle of the main part of the gaming machine with respect to the outer frame 610 is different.

As shown in FIG. 46 (a), the attachment of the gaming machine main portion (component A6) to the outer frame 610 is started, and the component A6 is inserted into the frame of the outer frame 610 (to the right in FIG. 46 (a)). (Move), the vertical frame body 637 is moved along the inner surface of the inner surface vertical frame body 613. As a result, the head B2 of the pin member B is guided along the inclined surface 637a of the vertical frame body 637, so that the swing piece 615 of the inner surface vertical frame body 613 is rearward (in the direction away from the vertical frame body 637). It is elastically swung (deformed) toward FIG. 46 (a) upward).

As shown in FIG. 46 (b), when the component A6 is further inserted into the frame of the outer frame 610 (moved to the right in FIG. 46 (b)), the head B2 of the pin member B becomes a vertical frame body. It passes through the inclined surface 637a of 637 and rides on the outer surface (upper side surface of FIG. 46B) of the vertical frame body 637. In this case, the amount of backward swing (deformation) of the swing piece 615 is maximized, and the recess 614a allows the swing piece 615 to swing.

As shown in FIG. 46 (c), when the head B2 of the pin member B reaches the receiving portion 637b of the vertical frame body 637, the swing piece 615 of the inner surface vertical frame body 613 becomes the vertical frame body 637 due to the elastic recovery force. It is swung in a direction close to (that is, returned to the initial position), and the head B2 of the pin member B is received by the receiving portion 637b of the vertical frame body 637. As a result, the pin member B is interposed between the inner vertical frame body 613 of the outer frame 610 and the vertical frame body 637 of the gaming machine main portion (component A6) (that is, the gaming machine main portion with respect to the outer frame 610). (A state in which the constituent elements A6) are connected to each other) is formed, and the work of assembling the main part of the gaming machine to the outer frame 610 is completed.

Since the swing piece 615 is formed so as to be elastically swingable in this way, when the gaming machine main portion (component A6) is attached to the outer frame 610, the gaming machine main portion is attached to the outer frame 610. By simply moving the swing piece 615 back and forth (backward and return to the initial position), the pin member B can be received by the receiving portion 637b. That is, the operator can easily connect the two by simply pushing the gaming machine main portion into the outer frame 610, and as a result, the workability of the work of assembling the gaming machine main portion to the outer frame 610 is improved. Can be planned.

In this case, the gaming machine main portion (component A6) is tilted with respect to the outer frame 610 according to the intervening position where the pin member B is interposed (that is, the height position of the swing piece 615 to which the pin member B is fastened and fixed). The angle is changed. That is, as described above, the rowing direction of the plurality of receiving portions 637b is parallel to the longitudinal direction of the vertical frame body 637, while the rowing direction of the plurality of rocking pieces 615 is the inner surface vertical frame body 613. It is inclined with respect to the longitudinal direction, and the height position is located on the back side of the outer frame 610 by the upper swing piece 615, and the height position is located on the front side of the outer frame 610 by the lower swing piece 615. See FIG. 42).

Therefore, as shown in FIG. 47 (a), when the pin member B is attached to the swing piece 615 whose height position is the lowest, the pin member B is on the frontmost side of the outer frame 610 (FIG. 47 (a). ) Since it is located on the left front side), the inclination angle of the gaming machine main unit (component A6) with respect to the outer frame 610 is the largest (that is, the outer frame) in the state of being connected via the pin member B. The main part of the gaming machine (component A6) stands up most with respect to 610).

On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 47 (c), when the pin member B is attached to the swing piece 615 having the highest height position, the pin member B is the rearmost side of the outer frame 610 (FIG. 47 (c). ) Since it is located on the right back side), the inclination angle of the gaming machine main part (component A6) with respect to the outer frame 610 is the smallest (that is, the outside) in the state of being connected via the pin member B. The main part of the gaming machine (component A6) is in the most prone state with respect to the frame 610).

Further, as shown in FIG. 47 (b), when the pin member B is attached to the swing piece 615 whose height position is in the middle (third from the top of the five positions), the pin member B is described above. Since it is an intermediate position between the back side and the front side of the outer frame 610, the inclination angle of the gaming machine main part (component A6) with respect to the outer frame 610 is the maximum described above in the state of being connected via the pin member B. And the angle is between large and small.

As described above, in the sixth embodiment, the connection state between the inner surface vertical frame body 613 and the vertical frame body 637 can be changed, whereby the gaming machine main unit (component A6) with respect to the outer frame 610 can be changed. The tilt angle of can be adjusted. Therefore, for example, even if the tilt angle needs to be adjusted as a result of assembling the game machine main part to the outer frame 610, the outer frame 610 is once removed from the island wooden frame, and the outer frame 610 with respect to the island wooden frame is removed. There is no need to adjust the mounting angle of the island, and with the outer frame 610 attached to the wooden frame of the island, the tilt angle of the game machine main part with respect to the outer frame 610, that is, the tilt angle of the game machine main part with respect to the wooden frame of the island. Can be adjusted.

In this case, changing the connection state between the inner surface vertical frame body 613 and the vertical frame body 637 changes the intervening position of the pin member B interposed between the inner surface vertical frame body 613 and the vertical frame body 637 ( That is, it can be performed by selecting which of the pin members B to be fastened and fixed to the plurality of rocking pieces 615), which is a simple operation. Therefore, it is possible to improve workability when adjusting the inclination angle of the gaming machine main portion (component A6) with respect to the outer frame 610.

On the other hand, the gaming machine main part (component a6) is removed from the outer frame 610 as follows. First, the locking device KD is unlocked, and the main part of the gaming machine is opened with respect to the outer frame 610. Since the head B2 of the pin member B is exposed on the inner surface of the vertical frame body 637 of the component A6 through the opening of the receiving portion 637b, the head B2 of the pin member B is removed in the removing direction (FIG. 46 (c). ) Upward), the swing piece 615 is swung in a direction away from the vertical frame body 637, and the head B2 of the pin member B is retracted to the outside of the receiving portion 637b. As a result, the pin member B can be placed between the inner surface vertical frame body 613 and the vertical frame body 637 (that is, the state in which the connection between the two is released), so that the gaming machine main portion can be removed (that is, the game machine main portion is disconnected). It can be removed from the outer frame 610 by moving it to the left in FIG. 46 (b).

In the state where the main part of the gaming machine is closed with respect to the outer frame 610, each component (for example, resin base 31 or the like) arranged in the main part of the gaming machine is arranged in the frame of the outer frame 610. The component faces the opening of the receiving portion 637b of the vertical frame body 637. Therefore, since the head B2 of the pin member B exposed from the opening of the receiving portion 637b can be shielded by the facing parts, it is difficult to operate the head B2 of the pin member B through the opening.

Next, a seventh embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 48 to 51.

In each of the above embodiments, the case where the main part of the gaming machine is arranged so as to be openable and closable to the outer frame via the connecting device has been described, but the outer frame does not need to exist in particular and is attached instead of the outer frame. The main part of the gaming machine may be arranged on the target so as to be openable and closable via a connecting device. That is, the outer frame side engaging member and the outer frame side connecting member may be attached to the attachment target. The shape of the mounting target is arbitrary and is not limited to the frame shape. Further, the mounting target may be the frame itself provided on the island of the hall. That is, the main part of the gaming machine may be arranged on the frame (mounting target) provided on the island of the hall via the connecting device. In this case, the shape of the frame (mounting target) provided on the island of the hole is arbitrary, and is limited to, for example, a shape having upper and lower plates (plates to which the upper frame body and the lower frame body of the outer frame are connected). It's not a thing.

In each of the above embodiments, a shaft hole is opened in the support metal fitting 33 (main portion side shaft member), while the support shaft 34 is provided from the main portion side shaft support member 35, 735 (main portion side shaft support member). A case will be described in which the main shaft side supported members 35 and 735 are pivotally supported with respect to the support bracket 33 via a support shaft 34 that is projected and inserted into the shaft hole of the support bracket 33. However, the present invention is not necessarily limited to this, and while the support shaft 34 is projected from the support metal fitting 33, shaft holes are opened in the main portion side shaft support members 35 and 735, and the main portion side shaft support member is opened. The shaft-supported members 35, 735 on the main portion side may be pivotally supported with respect to the support metal fitting 33 via the support shaft 34 inserted into the shaft holes of the shaft holes 35, 735. That is, in the configuration in which the main part side shaft member is pivotally supported so as to be relatively rotatable with respect to the main part side shaft member, the support shaft is projected from either the main part side shaft member or the main part side shaft support member. It suffices that the shaft hole through which the support shaft is inserted is opened on the other side of the main portion side shaft member or the main portion side shaft supported member.

This is a relative rotation of the main part side second shaft support member (main part side second shaft support member 435,535,732) with respect to the main part side second shaft member (main part side connecting member 32,732). The same applies to the configuration in which the shaft is movably supported, and the support shaft (second support shaft 434, 734) is projected from one of the main portion side second shaft member or the main portion side second shaft support member. It suffices that the shaft hole through which the support shaft is inserted is opened at the other of the main portion side second shaft member or the main portion side second shaft supported member.

In each of the above embodiments, the main portion side shaft support member 35, 735 (main portion side shaft support member) rotates relative to the support metal fitting 33 (main portion side shaft member) via one support shaft 34. The case where the shaft is movably supported has been described, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the main shaft-supported member 35,735 (main-side shaft-supported member) is provided via a plurality of support shafts. May be configured to be pivotally supported so as to be relatively rotatable with respect to the support metal fitting 33 (main portion side shaft member). Similarly, the main part side second shaft support member (main part side second shaft support member 435,535,732) is connected to the main part side second shaft member (main part side connection) via a plurality of support shafts. It may be configured to be pivotally supported by the members 32, 732) so as to be relatively rotatable. For example, between the main part side shafted support member 35,735 and the support metal fitting 33, or between the main part side second shafted support member 435,535,732 and the main part side connecting member 32,732. An example is a configuration in which the shaft is supported so as to be relatively rotatable via a slide hinge (a hinge in which the position of the rotating shaft moves with relative rotation). Such a shaft support structure is also included in the "shaft support" in claims 1 to 4 and the gaming machines A0 to A35 and D1 to D3.

Hereinafter, in addition to the gaming machine of the present invention, the concepts of various inventions included in the above embodiments will be shown.

In a gaming machine including an outer frame and a gaming machine main portion that is openable and closable on the outer frame via a coupling device, the coupling device is a main portion disposed in the gaming machine main portion. Detachable from the side shaft member, the main portion side shaft support member pivotally supported by the game machine main portion via the main portion side shaft member, and the main portion side shaft support member. The gaming machine A0 comprising at least an outer frame side engaging member that is connected and arranged on the outer frame.

The "outer frame" of the gaming machine A0 may be changed to "mounting target". In this case, the "mounting target" does not have to be the configuration of the gaming machine A0 (the gaming machine A0 does not have to be provided). These things are also the same in the following dependent terms (game machines A1 to A35 and game machines D1 to D3).

According to the gaming machine A0, by connecting the shaft-supported member on the main portion side disposed on the main portion of the gaming machine to the engaging member on the outer frame side disposed on the outer frame, the outer frame can be connected to the outer frame. The main part of the gaming machine can be connected so as to be openable and closable via a connecting device. On the other hand, the main portion of the gaming machine can be removed from the outer frame by releasing the connection between the outer frame side engaging member and the main portion side shaft support member.

As a result, the main part of the gaming machine can be removed while leaving the outer frame in the wooden frame of the island of the hall. Therefore, when replacing the gaming machine, the outer frame left in the wooden frame of the island of the hall Can be used to set up another gaming machine main unit. As a result, it is possible to reduce the man-hours required for replacement without the need for adjusting the tilt angle.

In this case, when designing the main part of the gaming machine, it is not necessary to consider the relationship between the main part side shaft member and the outer frame, so that the degree of freedom in the design can be increased. That is, it is sufficient for the main portion side shaft member to have a structure in which the main portion side shaft support member can be connected to the outer frame side engaging member disposed on the outer frame, and the main portion side shaft member can be connected to the main portion side shaft member. It is not necessary to design in relation to the outer frame (outer frame side engaging member). Therefore, the degree of freedom in designing the main shaft member can be ensured.

In the gaming machine A0, the connecting device is detachably connected to the outer frame side connecting member disposed on the outer frame and the outer frame side connecting member thereof, and at the time of connection, the connecting device is connected to the outer frame side connecting member. The gaming machine A1 is further provided with a main portion side connecting member formed so as to be relatively rotatable and arranged in the gaming machine main portion.

According to the gaming machine A1, in addition to the effect of the gaming machine A0, the main portion-side connecting member disposed on the main portion of the gaming machine is connected to the outer frame-side connecting member disposed on the outer frame. By connecting the main part-side shaft support member arranged in the main part of the gaming machine to the outer frame side engaging member arranged in the outer frame, the main part of the gaming machine is connected to the outer frame. It can be connected so as to be openable and closable via a device. That is, since the connecting device connects the outer frame and the main part of the gaming machine at two places, the outer frame and the main part of the gaming machine can be connected in a stable state. On the other hand, by releasing the connection between the outer frame side connecting member and the main part side connecting member and the connection between the outer frame side engaging member and the main part side shafted support member, respectively, from the outer frame. The main part of the gaming machine can be removed.

In the gaming machine A0 or A1, the main portion-side shaft support member disposed on the gaming machine main portion and the outer frame-side engaging member disposed on the outer frame are connected by relative movement in the linear direction. A gaming machine A2 characterized in that it can be formed as possible.

According to the gaming machine A2, in addition to the effects of the gaming machine A0 or A1, the workability when assembling the main part of the gaming machine to the outer frame can be improved. That is, the main part of the gaming machine is relatively heavier than the outer frame, but when replacing the gaming machine, the operator uses the main part of the gaming machine, which is relatively heavy, as the island of the hall. It is necessary to assemble to the outer frame left in the wooden frame. Further, in the assembling work, it is necessary to connect the main portion side shaft support member disposed on the main portion of the gaming machine to the outer frame side engaging member disposed on the outer frame. Therefore, if the operator needs a complicated operation for connecting the outer frame engaging member and the shaft-supported member on the main portion side, the connecting operation is performed while supporting the main portion of the gaming machine, which has a large comparative weight. It becomes difficult to assemble the main part of the gaming machine to the outer frame. On the other hand, according to the gaming machine A2, the main portion side shaft support member disposed on the gaming machine main portion and the outer frame side engaging member disposed on the outer frame move relative to each other in the linear direction. As a result, the connection operation can be simplified, and as a result, the workability when assembling the main part of the gaming machine to the outer frame can be improved.

In particular, in the case of the gaming machine A2 having the configuration of the gaming machine A1, "the main portion side connecting member disposed on the gaming machine main portion and the outer frame side connecting member arranged on the outer frame are , It is formed so that it can be connected by relative movement in the linear direction, and the linear direction when connecting the main part side connecting member to the outer frame side connecting member is the main part side shaft mounted on the gaming machine main part. It is preferable to have a configuration "parallel to the linear direction when connecting the support member to the outer frame side engaging member disposed on the outer frame". According to the gaming machine A2 having this configuration, in addition to the effect of the gaming machine A0 or A1, the main portion side connecting member disposed on the game machine main portion is arranged on the outer frame side connecting member. The linear direction when connecting to the outer frame side connecting member arranged on the outer frame is parallel to the linear direction when connecting to the outer frame side connecting member arranged on the main part of the gaming machine. Therefore, the main part of the gaming machine can be connected only by moving the main part in a straight line with respect to the outer frame. Therefore, even when the main portion side connecting member and the outer frame side connecting member are further provided, the workability when assembling the gaming machine main portion to the outer frame can be improved.

In the gaming machine A2, the gaming machine A3 is characterized in that the linear direction is a direction perpendicular to the frame surface of the outer frame.

According to the gaming machine A3, in addition to the effect of the gaming machine A2, a straight line when connecting the main portion side connecting member disposed on the gaming machine main portion to the outer frame side connecting member arranged on the outer frame. The direction and the linear direction when connecting the main portion-side axial support member disposed on the main portion of the gaming machine to the outer frame-side connecting member disposed on the outer frame are relative to the frame surface of the outer frame. Since the direction is vertical, the main part of the gaming machine can be assembled to the outer frame simply by arranging the main part of the gaming machine in front of the outer frame and pushing it straight in a straight line direction. Therefore, it is possible to improve workability when assembling the main part of the gaming machine to the outer frame.

In the gaming machines A0 to A3, the main portion side shaft support member is arranged at a position separated from one end side pivotally supported by the main portion side shaft member and includes a tip portion, and the tip portion is the outer portion. The gaming machine A4 is characterized in that it is formed so as to be grounded when the shaft-supported member on the main portion side is opened with respect to the gaming machine main portion removed from the frame.

According to the gaming machine A4, in addition to the effect played on the gaming machines A0 to A3, the main part of the gaming machine can be made to stand alone (that is, even in a state of being separated from the outer frame). That is, in the conventional gaming machine, the bottom surface of the outer frame is formed as a flat surface having a relatively large area, and by using the bottom surface of the outer frame, the gaming machine is formed so as to be self-supporting. On the other hand, in the conventional gaming machine, the independence of the gaming machine main part is not considered. Therefore, when the gaming machine main portion is formed to be removable from the outer frame, the removed gaming machine main portion needs to be laid on its side. On the other hand, according to the gaming machine A4, since the main portion side shaft support member is provided with a tip portion at a position separated from one end side pivotally supported by the main portion side shaft member, the main portion side shaft support member is provided. The material is rotated relative to the main part of the gaming machine to be in an open state (that is, if the main part-side shaft support member is, for example, a linear member, both are arranged in a dogleg shape. The shape of the shaft-supported member on the main portion side is not limited to a linear shape between the one end side and the tip portion that are pivotally supported. Even) it can be self-reliant.

In the conventional gaming machine, if the main part of the gaming machine is opened with respect to the outer frame (both are arranged in a dogleg shape), the gaming machine can be made independent. However, since the outer frame has a slightly larger outer shape than the main part of the gaming machine, the height direction between the bottom surface of the outer frame (the surface on the grounding side) and the bottom surface of the main part of the gaming machine (the surface on the grounding side). The inclination of the self-supporting gaming machine increases by the amount of the dimensional difference (vertical direction of the gaming machine). In addition, the position of the center of gravity becomes higher because the outer frame is included. Therefore, the self-supporting gaming machine tends to fall down. On the other hand, according to the gaming machine A4, since the gaming machine main portion removed from the outer frame is made to stand independently, the bottom surface (grounding side surface) of the gaming machine main portion and the tip portion of the main portion side shaft support member The difference in the height direction from the bottom surface (ground plane) can be reduced. In addition, the position of the center of gravity can be lowered because the outer frame is not included. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the self-supporting gaming machine from collapsing.

In the gaming machine A4, the main portion side shaft support member includes a portion formed in a flat plate shape parallel to the frame surface of the gaming machine main portion in a direction perpendicular to the frame surface, and the bottom surface of the portion formed in the flat plate shape. A5 is a gaming machine A5, characterized in that is a tip portion thereof.

According to the game machine A5, in addition to the effect of the game machine A4, the main portion side shaft support member includes a portion formed in a flat plate shape parallel to the frame surface of the game machine main portion. If, for example, the floor to be grounded is deformed by that amount (for example, if the floor is made of an elastic material, or if the floor is laid with a laying material made of cloth or an elastic material), the floor (for example) It is possible to secure a ground contact area with respect to the laying body) and stabilize the independence of the main part of the game machine. Further, the portion formed in the flat plate shape of the main portion side shaft support member is made parallel in the direction perpendicular to the frame surface of the gaming machine main portion, so that the plurality of gaming machine main portions can stand on their own. At that time, since the other main portion side shaft support member can be superposed on the main portion side shaft support member, it is possible to improve the storage efficiency when a plurality of gaming machine main parts are made independent. Further, the main portion side shaft support member is provided with a portion formed in a flat plate shape parallel to the frame surface of the gaming machine main portion in a direction perpendicular to the frame surface of the gaming machine main portion, so that the gaming machine main portion is closed to the outer frame. At the same time, it is possible to efficiently secure a space for arranging parts such as a control board in the main part of the gaming machine.

Here, when the shaft-supported member on the main portion side is pivotally supported by one shaft (main portion-side shaft member) on the main portion of the gaming machine (there is only one shaft support location), the shaft support portion. Is provided with backlash in the axial direction (vertical direction of the gaming machine), and the backlash causes the bottom surface (ground side surface) of the main part of the gaming machine and the tip of the shaft-supported member on the main part side (a portion formed in a flat plate shape). ) May be configured to absorb (reduce) the dimensional difference in the height direction (vertical direction of the gaming machine) from the bottom surface (the surface on the ground side). As a result, the tip end portion of the shaft-supported member on the main portion side can be grounded more uniformly (to secure a ground contact surface seat), and self-reliance can be stabilized.

In the gaming machine A4 or A5, the main portion side shaft support member is inside a pair of edge portions connecting one end side pivotally supported by the main portion side shaft member and the other end side opposite to the one end side. When one edge portion is folded back and the other edge portion is formed into a flat plate shape, and the main portion side shafted support member is in an open state with respect to the gaming machine main portion. One of the folded and formed edges is located on the opposite side of the game machine main portion, and the other edge formed in the flat plate shape is located on the game machine main portion side. Pachinko machine A6.

According to the gaming machine A6, in addition to the effect of the gaming machine A4 or A5, one edge of the pair of edges connecting one end side and the other end side of the main portion side shaft support member is folded back. Since it is formed, the rigidity of the shaft-supported member on the main portion side can be increased accordingly. That is, when the shaft-supported member on the main portion side is in an open state (arranged in a dogleg shape) with respect to the main portion of the gaming machine, the main portion of the gaming machine can be firmly supported. It is possible to stabilize the independence of the club.

On the other hand, when the edge of the main portion side shaft support member is folded back, another main portion side shaft support member is superposed on one main portion side shaft support member to form a plurality of gaming machine main parts. By riding on the folded edge when making it independent, the main part of the gaming machine is tilted and the independence becomes unstable. On the other hand, according to the present gaming machine, in the main portion side shaft support member, the other edge portion located on the gaming machine main portion side is formed in a flat plate shape in a state where the gaming machine main portion is self-supporting. Therefore, it is possible to avoid one edge portion formed by folding back and to sequentially stack the other main portion side shaft support member on the other edge portion. Therefore, it is possible to suppress the inclination of the main part of the gaming machine and make it stand on its own in a stable manner.

A7 is characterized in that, in the gaming machine A6, one edge portion of the shaft-supported member on the main portion side is formed by being folded back toward the upper surface side.

According to the gaming machine A7, in addition to the effect of the gaming machine A6, one edge of the main portion side shaft support member is formed by being folded back toward the upper surface side, so that the main portion side shaft support member is formed. A flat surface-shaped portion can be formed on the bottom surface (the surface on the ground side) of the machine. Therefore, it is possible to secure the ground contact area and stabilize the independence of the main part of the gaming machine.

In the gaming machine A5 and the gaming machine A7, the surface that becomes the "upper surface (the surface facing upward)" when the gaming machine main portion is attached to the outer frame is grounded by removing the gaming machine main portion from the outer frame. When it becomes a surface to be used, it becomes a "bottom surface". Further, in the gaming machine A7, the “upper surface side” means a surface facing upward when grounded. Therefore, in the main portion side shaft support member located above the gaming machine main portion attached to the outer frame, the surface side that is the lower surface in the attached state is the “upper surface side” of the gaming machine A7. The same applies to the other gaming machines A1 to A4, A6, A8 to A35, and D1 to D3 except for the gaming machines A5 and A7.

In any of the gaming machines A4 to the gaming machine A7, the main portion side shaft support member is interposed between the main portion side shaft support member and the game machine main portion, and the main portion side shaft support member is used with the main portion side shaft member. The gaming machine A8 is provided with a rotating urging member that rotates relative to the center of rotation and urges the gaming machine main portion in a direction in which it is opened.

According to the gaming machine A8, in addition to the effect of any of the gaming machines A4 to A7, the shaft-supported member on the main portion side is attached in the direction of being opened with respect to the main portion of the gaming machine by the rotating urging member. Since it is urged, it is possible to maintain the shaft-supported member on the main portion side in an open state (arranged in a dogleg shape) with respect to the main portion of the gaming machine and stabilize the independence of the main portion of the gaming machine. That is, it is possible to prevent the main portion of the gaming machine from becoming unstable due to the careless closing of the shaft-supported member on the main portion side when the main portion of the gaming machine becomes independent.

Further, by connecting the outer frame side engaging member arranged on the outer frame and the main part side shaft support member arranged on the game machine main part, the game machine main part can be opened and closed with respect to the outer frame. In the arranged state, the urging force of the rotating urging member can be used as a force in the direction of opening the main part of the gaming machine. Therefore, even when the weight of the main part of the gaming machine is heavy, it is possible to facilitate the operation of opening the main part of the gaming machine by the operator.

In the gaming machine A2 or A8, the main portion side shaft support member is rotated relative to the gaming machine main portion with the main portion side shaft member as the rotation center, and is moved to the bottom surface side of the gaming machine main portion. The gaming machine A9 comprising a main portion side holding member that holds the main portion side shaft-supported member when arranged.

According to the gaming machine A9, in addition to the effect of the gaming machine A2 or A8, the main portion side shaft support member can be held on the bottom surface side of the gaming machine main portion by the main portion side holding member. It is possible to improve workability when assembling the part to the outer frame. That is, in the case of the gaming machine A9 having the configuration of the gaming machine A2, the main portion side shaft support member is held by the main portion side holding member in the gaming machine main portion in a state of being removed from the outer frame. Therefore, only by moving the main part of the gaming machine relative to the outer frame in the linear direction, the shaft-supported member on the main part side is connected to the engaging member on the outer frame side, and the main part of the gaming machine is assembled to the outer frame. It is possible to complete the operation of first connecting the main portion side shaft support member to the main portion side engaging member and then closing the gaming machine main portion with respect to the outer frame. Further, in the case of the gaming machine A9 having the configuration of the gaming machine A8, the shaft-supported member on the main portion side is urged by the rotating urging member in a direction in which the gaming machine main portion is opened. However, if this can be held (held in a closed state) on the bottom surface side of the gaming machine main portion by the main portion side holding member, the operator himself / herself can hold the main portion side with, for example, one hand. It is not necessary to perform the complicated work of assembling the game machine main part to the outer frame while keeping the shaft support member in the closed state, and it is possible to concentrate only on the work of assembling the game machine main part to the outer frame.

The gaming machine A9 includes a locking device that locks the gaming machine main portion to the outer frame, the locking device includes the main portion side holding member, and the gaming machine main portion is operated by operating the locking device. The gaming machine A10 is characterized in that when the lock on the outer frame is released, the holding of the main portion side shafted support member by the main portion side holding member is released in conjunction with the operation.

According to the gaming machine A10, in addition to the effect of the gaming machine A9, the locking device includes a main part side holding member, and in conjunction with the operation of the locking device, the main part side shaft support member by the main part side holding member is provided. Since the holding can be released, when assembling the main part of the gaming machine to the outer frame, the main part side shaft support member is held by the main part side holding member to improve the workability of the assembling work, and after assembling. The main part of the gaming machine can be opened with respect to the outer frame only by unlocking with the locking device. That is, with only one operation of unlocking the locking device, it is possible to simultaneously unlock the outer frame of the main part of the gaming machine and release the holding of the shaft-supported support member on the main part side by the holding member on the main part side. ..

In any of the gaming machines A4 to A10, the connecting device rotates relative to the gaming machine main portion via a main portion side shaft member disposed in the gaming machine main portion and the main portion side shaft member thereof. Two sets consisting of a main part-side shaft-supporting member that can be pivotally supported and an outer frame-side engaging member that is detachably connected to the main-side shaft-supporting member and arranged on the outer frame. In addition, one of these two sets is arranged on the lower side of the game machine main part and the outer frame, and the other set is arranged on the upper side of the game machine main part and the outer frame. A game machine A11 characterized by.

According to the gaming machine A11, in addition to the effect of any of the gaming machines A4 to A10, two sets of a main portion side shaft member, a main portion side shaft support member, and an outer frame side engaging member are provided, and they are provided. In each of the two sets, by connecting the shaft-supported member on the main part side to the engaging member on the outer frame side, the main part of the gaming machine can be connected to the outer frame so as to be openable and closable via the connecting device. .. That is, since the connecting device connects the outer frame and the main part of the gaming machine at two places, the outer frame and the main part of the gaming machine can be connected in a stable state. On the other hand, in each of the two sets, the main portion of the gaming machine can be removed from the outer frame by releasing the connection between the shaft-supported member on the main portion side and the engaging member on the outer frame side.

Further, at the time of designing the main part of the gaming machine, it suffices to have a structure in which the main part side shaft support member can be connected to the outer frame side engagement member in each of the two sets. It is not necessary to design in relation to the outer frame (outer frame side engaging member). That is, since the degree of freedom in designing the main part side shaft member can be secured, the support shaft when opening and closing the game machine main part with respect to the outer frame (that is, the main part side shaft member of one of the two sets). And the other set of main part side shaft members) can be arbitrarily designed, and as a result, for example, the opening / closing mode of the gaming machine main part and the degree of freedom in designing other members around the support shaft can be secured.

In this case, one of the two sets is arranged on the lower side of the gaming machine main part and the outer frame, and the other set is arranged on the upper side of the gaming machine main part and the outer frame. The main part of the pachinko / pachislot machine is in an upright position (that is, the main part of the pachinko / pachislot machine is in an upright position) by keeping the main part of the pachinko / pachislot machine in the open state and grounding the pachinko / pachislot machine in the other group. Not only can it stand on its own (with the lower side placed on the floor), but the main shaft-supported member in the other set is left open, and the main shaft-supported member in the other set is open. By grounding the material, the main part of the gaming machine can be made to stand alone even in an inverted state (that is, by turning the main part of the gaming machine upside down, the upper side of the main part of the gaming machine is placed on the floor). be able to. As a result, the direction of independence is changed according to the position of the center of gravity of the main part of the gaming machine (for example, in the case of the main part of the gaming machine whose center of gravity is located above, the position of the center of gravity is downward). Since it can be made self-reliant), the self-reliant state can be stabilized.

Further, in the gaming machine A11 having the configuration of the gaming machine A8, both of the two sets may be provided with the rotating urging member, or only one set or the other set is the rotating urging member. May be provided.

The gaming machine A33 is characterized in that a through-hole is formed and the hole is used as the inclusion receiving portion.

According to the gaming machine A33, in addition to the effect of the gaming machine A31 or A32, the other of the main portion side shaft support member or the outer frame side engaging member on which the second engaging portion is arranged is formed from the plate-shaped body. Since the hole formed through the plate-shaped body is used as the intervening body receiving portion, the structure of the other of the main portion side shaft support member or the outer frame side engaging member is simplified and the intervening body receiving portion is formed. It is possible to reduce the product cost by facilitating the formation of the product.

Further, since the hole formed through the plate-shaped body is used as the intervening receiving portion, the tip end side of the intervening is inserted from the other opening of the intervening receiving portion in a state where the intervening is received in the intervening receiving portion. Can be exposed. Therefore, by pressing the intervening body in the removing direction through the exposed portion and swinging the swinging piece in the direction away from the second engaging portion, the intervening body is moved out of the intervening receiving portion. Can be retracted (pushed out) to. As a result, the state in which the intervening body does not intervene between the first engaging portion and the second engaging portion (that is, the state in which the connection between the outer frame side engaging member and the main portion side shafted support member is released) is established. Since it can be easily formed, it is possible to improve the workability of the work of removing the main part of the gaming machine from the outer frame.

In the game machine A33, the first engaging portion is disposed on the outer frame side engaging member, and the second engaging portion is disposed on the main portion side shaft-supported member and mounted on the swing piece. In a state where the intervening inclusions are received by the intervening receiving portion and the first engaging portion and the second engaging portion are connected, the shaft on the main portion side on which the second engaging portion is arranged is arranged. The support member is located inside the outer frame with respect to the outer frame side engaging member on which the first engaging portion is arranged, and the opening of the intervening receiving portion of the second engaging portion is the outer frame. A game machine A34 characterized in that it is exposed to the inside.

According to the gaming machine A34, in addition to the effect of the gaming machine A33, the shaft-supported member on the main portion side on which the second engaging portion is arranged is located inside the outer frame, and the intervening body of the second engaging portion is provided. Since the opening of the receiving portion is exposed inside the outer frame, when the main part of the gaming machine is open with respect to the outer frame, the interposition is operated through the opening of the exposed intervening receiving portion (opposite). Can be pushed to the side). Therefore, it is easy to maintain a state in which no intervening body is interposed between the first engaging portion and the second engaging portion (that is, a state in which the connection between the outer frame side engaging member and the main portion side shafted support member is released). It is possible to improve the workability of the work of removing the main part of the gaming machine from the outer frame. On the other hand, in a state where the main part of the gaming machine is closed with respect to the outer frame, the parts arranged in the main part of the gaming machine are arranged in the frame of the outer frame, and such parts are the intervening bodies of the second engaging portion. Since it faces the opening of the receiving portion, it can be difficult to operate the inclusions through such opening.

In any of the game machines A31 to A34, one of the main portion side shafted support member or the outer frame side engaging member on which the first engaging portion is arranged is formed by superimposing two plate-shaped bodies. In the two plate-shaped bodies, the swing piece is disposed on one of the plate-shaped bodies located on the second engaging portion side, and the second plate-shaped body is sandwiched between the swinging pieces. The other plate-shaped body located on the opposite side of the joint portion is characterized in that a recess is provided in a range including the swinging piece on the surface on the side to be overlapped with the one plate-shaped body. Machine A35.

According to the gaming machine A35, in addition to the effect of either the gaming machines A31 to A34, two of the main portion side shaft support member or the outer frame side engaging member in which the first engaging portion is arranged are two. Since it is formed by polymerizing the plate-like bodies of the above, it is possible to increase the rigidity of one of the main portion side shaft support member and the outer frame side engaging member. In this case, the swing piece is arranged on one plate-shaped body located on the second engaging portion side, and the other plate-shaped body is on the surface on the side to be polymerized on the one plate-shaped body. Since the recess is recessed in the range including the rocking piece, the space formed by the recess allows the swinging piece to swing, and the other plate-like body is polymerized on the one plate-like body. Therefore, the rocking piece can be shielded by the other plate-shaped body, making it difficult to operate the rocking piece. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the connection between the shaft-supported member on the main portion side and the engaging member on the outer frame side from being illegally released.

(For example, as shown in FIG. 2, when the operator manually manually operates the first sub-member from the back side of the gaming machine main portion 20 removed from the outer frame 10), the main member and the second member are used. Only the first auxiliary member is displaced together with one of the engaging claws KDb without displacementing the auxiliary member (that is, while maintaining the state (position) of the main member and the second auxiliary member). Similarly, when only the second sub-member is operated, the main member and the first sub-member are not displaced (that is, the state (position) of the main member and the first sub-member is maintained). , Only the second auxiliary member is displaced together with the other engaging claw KDb.

The first sub-member and the second sub-member are attached by an urging member (spring member such as a torsion coil spring) in a direction in which the pair of engaging claws KDb are engaged with the pair of claw receiving members 17, respectively. When the main member is displaced by a key operation, the first sub-member and the second sub-member are paired with a pair of engaging claws KDb while resisting the urging force of the urging member. The displacement operation is performed in the direction of disengaging the engagement with the claw receiving member 17. When the key operation is returned, the first sub-member and the second sub-member are returned to the initial positions (that is, the positions where the engaging claw KDb engages with the claw receiving member 17) due to the urging force of the urging member. ..

When the game machine main portion 20 is closed with respect to the outer frame 10 (see FIG. 1), the engaging claw of the front door 40 is engaged with the engaged portion of the locking operating member of the locking device KD, and is also engaged. The engaging claw KDb in the locking operation member is engaged with the claw receiving member 17 of the outer frame 10, whereby the front door 40 is locked in a state where it cannot be opened with respect to the inner frame 30, and the main part of the gaming machine is locked. 20 (inner frame 30 and front door 40) is locked with respect to the outer frame 10 in a state where it cannot be opened. In this case, the front door 40 can be unlocked individually with respect to the inner frame 30, or the gaming machine main part 20 (inner frame 30) can be unlocked individually with respect to the outer frame 10 by operating the key of the cylinder lock KDa. NS.

As shown in FIG. 4, a game board accommodating portion 38 is formed on the front side of the resin base 31 of the inner frame 30, and the game board is detachably accommodated in the game board accommodating portion 38 via a lock device. .. As shown in FIG. 3, a bearing fitting 39 is attached to the back surface side of the resin base 31 of the inner frame 30 on the rotation base end side (the side connected to the outer frame 10), and the bearing fitting 39 is attached. The back pack unit is rotatably supported by the bearing.

Further, as shown in FIG. 3, a rod-shaped handle hd is attached to the upper end side of the resin base 31 of the inner frame 30 on the back surface side. The handle hd is projected toward the back surface side of the resin base 31, and is formed so as to be grippable. Therefore, by gripping the handle hd, the inner frame 30 (game machine main portion 20) can be efficiently conveyed. The upper frame 11 of the outer frame 10 is provided with a recess 11a capable of accommodating the handle hd, and a sealing plate 11b covering the area corresponding to the recess 11a is arranged on the lower surface of the upper frame 11. It is installed (see FIGS. 1 and 2).

Next, with reference to FIGS. 5 to 24, a connecting structure for connecting the outer frame 10 and the gaming machine main portion 20 so as to be openable and closable will be described. First, the outline of the connecting structure will be described with reference to FIGS. 5 and 6.

FIG. 5 is a perspective view of the outer frame 10 and the inner frame 30, showing a state in which the inner frame 30 is removed from the outer frame 10 and a part of the connecting structure is disassembled. FIG. 6 is a perspective view of the inner frame 30, and shows a state in which the main shaft side supported member 35 is opened with respect to the inner frame 30. In FIGS. 5 and 6, the front door 40, the back pack unit, and the like are not shown. Further, in FIG. 5, the front side of the outer frame 10 and the inner frame 30 is shown, and in FIG. 6, the back side of the inner frame 30 is shown.

The connecting structure includes an outer frame side connecting member 15 and an outer frame side engaging member 16 arranged on the outer frame 10, a main part side connecting member 32 and a main part side shafted support member arranged on the inner frame 30. The outer frame is provided with 35, and the main portion side connecting member 32 is connected (engaged) to the outer frame side connecting member 15, and the main portion side locked member 35 is connected (engaged) to the outer frame side engaging member 16. An inner frame 30 (game machine main part 20, see FIG. 2) is connected to 10 so as to be openable and closable and detachable.

Therefore, as described above, after the outer frame 10 is attached to the wooden frame of the island equipment after adjusting the inclination angle, it is left in the wooden frame of the island equipment, for example, when the new pachinko machine 1 is replaced. The outer frame 10 of the old model can be used to install the game machine main unit 20 of the new model. As a result, it is not necessary to adjust the tilt angle of the pachinko machine 1, and the man-hours required for replacing the new machine can be reduced.

In this case, when assembling the gaming machine main portion 20 to the outer frame 10, the gaming machine main portion 20 is arranged in front of the outer frame 10 (see FIG. 2), and the gaming machine main portion 20 is removed from that state. By pushing straight toward the frame 10 in a straight line direction, the connecting structure is brought into a connected state, and the gaming machine main portion 20 can be connected to the outer frame 10 so as to be openable and closable. Further, when the gaming machine main portion 20 is removed from the outer frame 10, the gaming machine main portion 20 can be pulled out straight from the outer frame 10 in a straight line direction after the connection structure is set to the released state. Therefore, it is possible to improve workability when attaching / detaching (assembling / removing) the gaming machine main portion 20 to / from the outer frame 10.

Further, when the main part 20 of the gaming machine is designed as a new model, the outer frame 10 (that is, the old one) is used for the support shaft 34 that pivotally supports the support metal fitting 33 of the inner frame 30 and the shaft-supported member 35 on the main part side. It is not necessary to consider the relationship with the outer frame 10) as a model, and the degree of freedom in its design can be increased. That is, since the main portion side connecting member 32 constitutes a support structure that can rotate with the outer frame side connecting member 15 on the outer frame 10 side, it is necessary to consider the relationship with the outer frame 10. There are restrictions on the design. On the other hand, in the present embodiment, it is sufficient that the main portion side shaft support member 35 has a structure capable of being connected (engaged) with the outer frame side engaging member 16 on the outer frame 10 side. It is not necessary to design the support shaft 34 in relation to the outer frame 10 (outer frame side engaging member 16). Therefore, the degree of freedom in design can be ensured. As a result, for example, the design of the front door 40 in the vicinity of the support shaft 34 can be improved.

Since the main portion side shaft support member 35 is rotatably supported with respect to the support metal fitting 33 of the inner frame 30 via the support shaft 34, the main portion side shaft support member 35 is shown in FIG. As shown in the above, the inner frame 30 can be rotated relative to the inner frame 30 to be in an open state. That is, since the arrangement relationship between the inner frame 30 and the shaft-supported member 35 on the main portion side can be substantially in a character shape, the inner frame 30 is alone (that is, separated from the outer frame 10). Also) can be self-reliant. Similarly, the gaming machine main portion 20 can be made to stand on its own by using the shaft-supported member 35 on the main portion side.

Here, if the gaming machine main portion 20 is connected to the outer frame 10 (see FIG. 1), the pachinko machine 1 can be made independent by using the bottom surface of the lower frame body 12 of the outer frame 10. Is. However, in a state where the gaming machine main portion 20 is separated from the outer frame 10 (see FIG. 2), the outer frame 10 can be similarly self-supporting, but the gaming machine main portion 20 has a sufficient area. Since it does not have a flat bottom surface, it cannot stand on its own.

In this case, in the structure in which the bottom surface of the resin base 31 of the inner frame 30 is formed as a flat surface in order to make the inner frame 30 self-supporting, the vicinity of the bottom surface is partially thickened, resulting in molding defects during molding of the resin base 31. Is easy to invite. Further, when a flat surface is formed, the arrangement space of the substrate device and the like is reduced by that amount.

On the other hand, in the present embodiment, the configuration (main portion side shafted support member 35) required as a connecting element with the outer frame side engaging member 16 arranged on the outer frame 10 has a role for independence. Can also be used. Therefore, it is possible to reduce the cost of parts by eliminating the need for adding new parts. Further, since it is not necessary to add a flat surface to the bottom surface of the resin base 31, its moldability can be ensured.

Next, the detailed configuration of each part constituting the connected structure will be described with reference to FIGS. 5 and 6. As shown in FIG. 5, the outer frame side connecting member 15 is arranged at the connecting portion of the upper frame body 11 and the left frame body 13 of the outer frame 10, and is formed so as to project toward the inner frame 30. Here, the outer frame side connecting member 15 will be described with reference to FIG. 7.

7 (a) is a top view of the outer frame side connecting member 15, and FIG. 7 (b) is a side view of the outer frame side connecting member 15 in the direction of arrow VIIb of FIG. 7 (a).

As shown in FIGS. 7 (a) and 7 (b), the outer frame side connecting member 15 extends horizontally from the upper surface plate 15a, the side plate 15b substantially perpendicular to the upper surface plate 15a, and the upper surface plate 15a. It is mainly composed of an extension plate 15c to be provided and a shaft-shaped connecting shaft portion 15d fixed to the extension tip of the extension plate 15c.

The top plate 15a and the side plate 15b are plate-shaped members that are fastened and fixed to the upper frame 11 and the left frame 13 (see FIG. 5) of the outer frame 10 by fastening screws, respectively, and are for inserting the fastening screws. Insertion holes are drilled at two locations each. The extension plate 15c is extended toward the front side (inner frame 30 side, see FIG. 5) of the outer frame 10 in the state of being attached to the outer frame 10, and the connecting shaft portion 15d is the lower surface of the extension plate 15c. It is thrust downward from.

The connecting shaft portion 15d is arranged coaxially with the support shaft 34 of the inner frame 30 (the shaft that pivotally supports the main portion side shaft support member 35 on the support metal fitting 33). Further, in the outer frame connecting member 15, a plate-like body made of a single metal material is punched into a predetermined outer shape by press working, and the punched material is bent between the top plate 15a and the side plate 15b. It is formed by press-fitting and fixing the connecting shaft portion 15d to the extending plate 15c. When punching a plate-shaped body, an insertion hole is formed at the same time as the outer shape is formed.

In the present embodiment, the outer frame side connecting member 15 serves as a strength member for connecting the upper frame body 11 and the left frame body 13 to form the outer frame 10, and the inner frame 30 is attached to the outer frame 10. Also serves as a part of the connecting structure for connecting the two to be detachable and openable. As a result, the product cost can be reduced.

It will be described back to FIGS. 5 and 6. As shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, the main portion side connecting member 32 is arranged at the upper end portion of the inner frame 30 on the rotation base end side (left side of FIG. 5), and is arranged on the opposite side (that is, the front surface) of the outer frame 10. It is fastened and fixed to the resin base 31 with a fastening screw in a state of projecting toward the door 40 side (see FIG. 1). As shown in FIG. 5, the main portion side connecting member 32 is composed of a cover member 50 and a retaining member 60. Here, with reference to FIGS. 8 and 9, the cover member 50 and the retaining member 60 constituting the main portion side connecting member 32 will be described.

8 (a) is a top view of the cover member 50, FIG. 8 (b) is a sectional view of the cover member 50 in the line VIIIb-VIIIb of FIG. 8 (a), and FIG. 8 (c) is a sectional view of the cover member 50. It is a front view of the cover member 50 in the direction view of arrow VIIIc of FIG. 8A. Note that, in FIGS. 8 (a) to 8 (c), for convenience, the resin base 31 is shown only in FIG. 8 (b), and the resin base 31 is omitted in FIGS. 8 (a) and 8 (c). Will be done.

As shown in FIGS. 8A to 8C, the cover member 50 includes a top plate 51, a bottom plate 52 arranged to face the top plate 51 at a predetermined distance from the top plate 51, and the top plate 51 and the top plate 51 thereof. It is composed of a connection plate 53 that connects the edges of the bottom plate 52 to each other.

The top plate 51 is a trapezoid whose width dimension (horizontal dimension in FIG. 8A) decreases toward the direction away from the connection plate 53 (downward in FIG. 8A) in the top view shown in FIG. 8A. Formed into a shape. Further, the upper surface plate 51 is formed in a stepped shape having a step in the side view shown in FIG. 8 (b), with respect to the upper surface plate base portion 51a which is a portion to be the connection plate 53 side (the bottom side of the trapezoidal shape). The upper surface plate tip portion 51b, which is a portion opposite to the connection plate 53 (upper side of the trapezoidal shape), is raised one step. A retaining member 60 (see FIG. 9) is disposed on the lower surface side (lower side of FIG. 8B) of the upper surface plate tip portion 51b.

As shown in FIGS. 8A and 8B, the top plate 51 has a guide groove 54 extending linearly, branching from the middle of the guide groove 54, and orthogonal to the guide groove 54. An opening is formed with the branch groove 55 extending linearly in the direction.

The guide groove 54 is a portion for receiving and coaxially supporting the connecting shaft portion 15d of the outer frame side connecting member 15 arranged on the outer frame 10 when connecting the outer frame 10 and the inner frame 30. The end of the guide groove 54 (lower end of FIG. 8A) is a support shaft 34 (FIG. 7) in which the connecting shaft portion 15d (see FIG. 7) of the received outer frame side connecting member 15 is arranged on the inner frame 30. It is set at a position coaxially supporting the axis (see 5). Further, the extending direction (straight direction) of the guide groove 54 is a direction perpendicular to the frame surface of the inner frame 30.

The bottom plate 52 is formed in a triangular shape in which the width dimension (FIG. 8 (c) left-right dimension) decreases toward the direction away from the connection plate 53 (FIG. 8 (c) on the front side of the paper surface) (see FIG. 4). As shown in FIG. 8B, a shaft hole 52a for pivotally supporting the support shaft (not shown) of the front door 40 is bored on the tip side thereof. Further, the connection plate 53 is provided with insertion holes for inserting the fastening screws at two places.

The resin base 31 is formed through an opening 31a that allows the back side (right side of FIG. 8B) and the front side (left side of FIG. 8B) to communicate with each other, and the cover member 50 is formed in the opening 31a. The bottom plate 52 of the is inserted. That is, as shown in FIG. 8B, the cover member 50 is mounted from the back side of the resin base 31 while the bottom plate 52 is inserted into the opening 31a, and the fastening screw is inserted through the insertion hole of the connection plate 53. Is fastened and fixed to the resin base 31.

In the state where the cover member 50 is attached to the resin base 31, as shown in FIG. 8B, the upper surface plate tip portion 51b of the upper surface plate 51 and the shaft hole 52a forming portion of the bottom plate 52 are at least the front surface of the resin base 31. It is projected to the side (left side in FIG. 8B). As a result, the support shaft (not shown) of the front door 40 can be pivotally supported in the shaft hole 52a of the bottom plate 52, and the front door 40 is rotatably supported with respect to the inner frame 30 by this shaft support. NS.

As described above, since the member of the front door 40 (the member on which the support shaft is arranged) is arranged on the upper surface of the bottom plate 52, the retaining member 60 (see FIG. 9) is the upper surface plate of the upper surface plate 51. It is sandwiched and held between the facing surfaces of the lower surface side of the front portion 51a and the upper surface side of the member of the front door 40.

In the cover member 51, a plate-like body made of a single metal material is punched into a predetermined outer shape by press working, and the punched material is punched into a predetermined portion (between the upper surface plate base portion 51a and the upper surface plate tip portion 51b). It is formed by bending (between the top plate 51 and the connection plate 53 and between the bottom plate 52 and the connection plate 53). When punching the plate-shaped body, the openings of the grooves 54 and 55 in the upper surface plate 51 and the insertion holes in the connection plate 53 are formed at the same time as the outer shape is formed.

9 (a) is a top view of the retaining member 60, and FIG. 9 (b) is a cross-sectional view of the retaining member 60 in the IXb-IXb line of FIG. 9 (a). As shown in FIGS. 9A and 9B, the retaining member 60 includes a box-shaped case body 61 having an open upper surface side (front side of the paper surface in FIG. 9A) and the inside of the case body 61. It is configured to include a slide piece 62 movably arranged on the slide piece 62 and a coil spring 63 for applying an urging force to the slide piece 62.

The case body 61 includes a guide passage 61a, a shaft entrance / exit 61b, a regulation groove 61c, and a holding protrusion 61d. The guide groove 61a is a groove-shaped passage for guiding the slide piece 62, and is an outer wall erected along the outer peripheral edge of the bottom wall of the case body 61 (the plate on the back side of the paper surface in FIG. 9A). And it is extended in a straight line by the inner wall erected inside.

The vertical dimensions of the outer wall and the inner wall (FIG. 9 (b) vertical dimension) are slightly higher than the height dimension of the slide piece 62 (FIG. 9 (b) vertical dimension). Further, the case body 61 is formed so that the top view shape shown in FIG. 9A has substantially the same outer shape as the top plate tip portion 51b (see FIG. 8) of the top plate 51 of the cover member 50.

Therefore, in a state where the retaining member 60 is held by the case member 50 (a state in which the upper surface side (the standing tip side of the outer wall and the inner wall) of the case body 61 is in contact with the lower surface side of the upper surface plate tip portion 51b). The slide piece 62 is movable along the guide passage 61a. Further, between the top plate tip portion 51b and the bottom wall of the case body 61, the connecting shaft portion 15d (see FIG. 7) of the outer frame side connecting member 15 moves along the guide groove 54 of the cover member 50. A passage path is formed. The guide passage 61a is formed in a straight line perpendicular to the passage path of the connecting shaft portion 15d (that is, the guide groove 54, see FIG. 8A).

The shaft entrance / exit 61b is an opening for passing the connecting shaft portion 15d of the outer frame side connecting member 15, and is formed in a part of the outer wall of the case body 61 (a portion corresponding to the guide groove 54 of the cover member 50). NS. As a result, the connecting shaft portion 15d of the outer frame side connecting member 15 can be moved along the guide groove 54 of the cover member 50.

The regulation groove 61c is a groove for restricting the movement position of the slide piece 62 along the guide passage 61a, and extends linearly along the guide passage 61a on the bottom wall of the case body 61. A regulation protrusion 62c projecting from the bottom surface of the slide piece 62 is inserted into the regulation groove 61c, and the regulation protrusion 62c reaches the end of the regulation groove 61c (the left end in FIG. 9B) to reach the end of the regulation groove 61c. Regulate the forward movement of.

The holding protrusion 61d is formed as a hemispherical protrusion projecting from the inner peripheral surface of the outer wall of the case body 61 toward the inside of the guide passage 61a (that is, toward the side surface of the slide piece 62). A hemispherical recess (not shown) is formed on the side surface of the slide piece 61d at a position corresponding to the holding protrusion 61d, and when the slide piece 62 is retracted to a position where the holding protrusion 61d fits into the recess, the slide piece 62 is moved backward. The slide piece 62 is held in that position.

The slide piece 62 is formed in a rhombic shape when viewed from above, and is movably arranged in the guide passage 61a. A columnar protrusion 62a is projected from the upper surface of the slide piece 62. The protrusion 62a is operably inserted into the branch groove 55 (see FIG. 8A) of the cover member 50 (see FIG. 10). Therefore, the operator can move the slide piece 62 forward or backward along the guide passage 61a by operating the protrusion 62a inserted through the branch groove 55.

The coil spring 63 is arranged in the guide passage 61a with its compression direction along the moving direction of the slide piece 62. The slide piece 62 includes an inclined surface 62b formed as an inclined flat surface at a portion opposite to the coil spring 63 (that is, a portion protruding into the passage path of the connecting shaft portion 15d (see FIG. 10)). ..

The inclined surface 62b protrudes into the passage path of the connecting shaft portion 15d in a direction away from the shaft entrance / exit 61b (that is, a direction in which the connecting shaft portion 15d moves toward the end of the guide groove 54, lower in FIG. 9). It is tilted to increase the amount. Therefore, when the connecting shaft portion 15d is inserted into the guide groove 54, the inclined surface 62b is pressed against the connecting shaft portion 15d, so that the slide piece 62 is moved backward while compressing and deforming the coil spring 63.

The slide piece 62 is shown in a state in which the forward movement of the slide piece 62 is restricted by the regulatory projection 62c coming into contact with the end of the regulation groove 61c of the case body 61 (that is, FIGS. 9A and 9B). In the state), the edge portion of the inclined surface 62b (left side in FIG. 9A) coincides with the edge portion of the shaft entrance / exit 61b (left side in FIG. 9A). Therefore, the connecting shaft portion 15d inserted from the shaft inlet / outlet 61b can be reliably brought into contact with the inclined surface 62b.

Further, in a state where the forward movement of the slide piece 62 is restricted, the coil spring 63 is arranged between the outer wall of the case body 61 and the slide piece 62 in a state of being elastically compressed and deformed. Therefore, after the connecting shaft portion 15d passes through the slide piece 62 while moving backward due to the pressure of the inclined surface 62b and reaches the end of the guide groove 54, the slide piece 62 is surely returned (moved forward) and connected. Prevents the shaft portion 15d from falling off.

Further, the slide piece 62 is moved backward due to the inclined surface 62b being pressed when passing through the connecting shaft portion 15d, but in the backward movement accompanying the passage of the connecting shaft portion 15d, the slide piece 62 is at the holding position by the holding protrusion 62d described above. Not reachable. That is, in order to hold the slide piece 62 at a predetermined retracted position by the holding protrusion 62, the operator needs to operate the protrusion 62a to move the slide piece 62 backward.

It will be described back to FIGS. 5 and 6. As shown in FIG. 5, the connection between the outer frame side connecting member 15 disposed on the outer frame 10 and the main portion side connecting member 32 arranged on the inner frame 30 (game machine main portion 20) is an outer frame. This can be done by arranging the inner frame 30 (game machine main portion 20) facing the front of the 10 and pushing the inner frame 30 straight toward the outer frame 10 from that state. Here, with reference to FIGS. 10 and 11, a connection operation between the outer frame side connecting member 15 disposed on the outer frame 10 and the main portion side connecting member 32 arranged on the inner frame 30 will be described. do.

10 (a) to 10 (c) are top views of the outer frame side connecting member 15 and the main part side connecting member 32 during the connecting operation, and FIG. 10 (a) shows the start of the connecting operation. 10 (b) shows the middle of the connection operation, and FIG. 10 (c) shows the end of the connection operation. Further, FIG. 11 is a top view of the outer frame side connecting member 15 and the main portion side connecting member 32, and the gaming machine main portion 20 is opened to the outer frame 10 after the connection operation shown in 10 (c) is completed. It shows the state. In addition, in FIGS. 10 and 11, in order to simplify the drawings, only the main configurations are designated by reference numerals.

As shown in FIG. 10A, when the gaming machine main portion 20 is pushed toward the outer frame 10 from the state where the gaming machine main portion 20 is face-to-face arranged in front of the outer frame 10, the outer frame side connecting member The connecting shaft portion 15d of 15 is moved along the guide groove 54 of the main portion side connecting member 32 and is brought into contact with the inclined surface 62b of the slide piece 62. When the gaming machine main portion 20 is further pushed in, the connecting shaft portion 15d passes through the guide groove 54 while moving the slide piece 62 backward by pressing the inclined surface 62b as shown in FIG. 10 (b). Then, as shown in FIG. 10 (c), the end of the guide groove 54 is reached, and the connecting operation of the outer frame side connecting member 15 and the main portion side connecting member 32 is completed.

In this case, the slide piece 62 is returned to the initial position (forward movement) by the elastic recovery force of the coil spring 63, so that the connecting shaft portion 15d is prevented from being pulled out (dropped off). That is, it is prevented that the connection between the outer frame side connecting member 15 and the main portion side connecting member 32 is released.

Here, as described above, the extending direction (straight line direction) of the guide groove 54 is the direction perpendicular to the frame surface of the inner frame 30 (game machine main portion 20). Therefore, when the gaming machine main portion 20 is arranged face-to-face in front of the outer frame 10, the direction in which the main portion side connecting member 32 is connected to the outer frame side connecting member 15 is perpendicular to the frame surface of the outer frame 10. Can be in any direction. As a result, after the gaming machine main portion 20 is arranged in front of the outer frame 10, the gaming machine main portion 20 can be assembled to the outer frame 10 only by pushing straight in a straight line direction. Therefore, it is possible to improve workability when assembling the gaming machine main portion 20 to the outer frame 10.

In the present embodiment, when the gaming machine main portion 20 is closed with respect to the outer frame 10, the protrusion 62a of the slide piece 62 is topped by the outer frame side connecting member 15 as shown in FIG. 10 (c). It is covered from the side. Therefore, it is difficult to operate the protrusion 62 of the slide piece 62, and it is possible to prevent the slide piece 62 from being moved backward by a player or the like. As a result, it is possible to prevent the connection between the outer frame side connecting member 15 and the main portion side connecting member 32 from being illegally released.

On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 11, when the gaming machine main portion 20 is open with respect to the outer frame 10, the protrusion 62a of the slide piece 62 is not covered from the upper surface side by the outer frame side connecting member 15. It can be exposed to the outside. That is, a clerk or the like who can unlock the locking device KD and open the gaming machine main portion 20 can operate the protrusion 62a, and as a result, the outer frame side connecting member 15 and the main portion side connecting member 32 It is possible to break the connection between the two.

Here, in the state shown in FIG. 11, when the protrusion 62a of the slide piece 62 is operated to move the slide piece 62 backward to a predetermined position, the slide piece 62 is held by the holding protrusion 61d of the case body 61. Can be done. That is, the restriction by the slide piece 62 can be released to form a state in which the connecting shaft portion 15d can be pulled out along the guide groove 54, and the state can be maintained.

Therefore, for example, in order to prevent the slide piece 62 from returning to the initial position, it is necessary to perform complicated work of removing the gaming machine main portion 20 from the outer frame 10 while holding the protrusion 62a with one hand. No. Specifically, after the slide piece 62 is held by the holding protrusion 61d, if the gaming machine main portion 20 is closed, the connection between the outer frame side connecting member 15 and the main portion side connecting member can be released. Therefore, the gaming machine main portion 20 can be removed from the outer frame 10 by pulling out the gaming machine main portion 20 with respect to the outer frame 10 in the direction opposite to that at the time of attachment.

When the outer frame side connecting member 15 and the main portion side connecting member 32 are connected to each other, the connecting shaft portion 15d presses the inclined surface 62b of the slide piece 62 to move the slide piece 62 backward. Depending on the situation, as described above, the slide piece 62 does not reach the position held by the holding protrusion 61d. Therefore, the elastic recovery force of the coil spring 63 can surely return the slide piece 62 to the initial position (forward movement).

It will be described back to FIGS. 5 and 6. As shown in FIG. 5, the outer frame side engaging member 16 is arranged on the lower frame body 12 of the outer frame 10, and the protruding member 76 appears and disappears from the upper surface thereof. When the gaming machine main portion 20 is attached to the outer frame 10, the main portion side shaft support member 35 on the game machine main portion 20 side is arranged on the upper surface of the outer frame side engaging member 16, and the main portion side shaft is mounted. By inserting the protruding member 76 of the outer frame side engaging member 16 into the receiving hole 36a of the support member 35, both are engaged (see FIG. 22).

The outer frame side engaging member 16 is arranged so as to cover the periphery of a plurality of (five in this embodiment) engaging devices 70 formed in a box shape and a group of the engaging devices 70, and the outer frame. It includes an outer wall forming member 80 that forms the outer wall of the side engaging member 16. The engaging devices 70 are arranged side by side in a straight line at equal intervals along the left-right direction of the outer frame 10 (lower frame body 12). Here, the outer frame side engaging member 16 will be described with reference to FIGS. 12 to 17.

12 (a) is a cross-sectional perspective view of the outer frame side engaging device 16 and the main portion side shaft support member 35, and FIG. 12 (b) is an outer frame in the direction of arrow XIIb of FIG. 12 (a). It is sectional drawing of the side engaging apparatus 16 and the main part side shaft supported member 35.

In FIGS. 12 (a) and 12 (b), the main portion 20 of the gaming machine is not shown, and the main portion side shafted support member 35 is shown independently. In this case, FIGS. 12 (a) and 12 (b) correspond to a state immediately before the assembling work is performed by pushing the gaming machine main portion 20 arranged to face the front of the outer frame 10 toward the outer frame 10. do.

Further, FIGS. 12a (a) and 12 (b) show side surfaces of the case body 71R, which are mating surfaces with the case body 71L. In this case, in order to facilitate understanding, the side surface (matching surface) of the case body 71R is shown with hatching. The addition of this hatching is the same in FIGS. 13 (b) and FIGS. 20 to 22.

As shown in FIGS. 12 (a) and 12 (b), the engaging device 70 is a case body 71R, 71L forming a box-shaped body, and the inside of the box-shaped body formed by the case bodies 71R, 71L. A projecting member 76 that is housed in a space and whose tip can be projected and retracted from the upper surface of the outer wall forming member 80, a coil spring 77 that urges the projecting member 76 toward the projecting direction, and a projecting member 76 in the immersion direction. It is mainly provided with a regulation plate 78 that regulates the movement of the body.

Here, the case bodies 71R and 71L will be described with reference to FIG. 13 (a) is a rear view of the case bodies 71R and 71L, and FIG. 13 (b) is a side view of the case body 71R. Note that FIG. 13A illustrates the assembled state of the case bodies 71R and 71L. Further, in FIG. 13B, the side surface of the case body 71R, which is the mating surface with the case body 71L, is shown with hatching.

As shown in FIGS. 13 (a) and 13 (b), the case bodies 71R and 71L are formed in a container shape in which the mating surfaces are open, and have an internal space by bringing the mating surfaces into contact with each other. Form a box-like body. Since the case bodies 71R and 71L are formed in a symmetrical shape having a mating surface as a symmetrical surface, the case body 71R will be described here, and the description of the case body 71L will be omitted.

The case body 71R has a front wall (left side in FIG. 13 (b)) forming the front surface of the box-shaped body and a rear wall (right side in FIG. 13 (b)) arranged opposite to the front wall and forming the back surface of the box-shaped body. The upper wall (upper side of FIG. 13B) and the bottom wall 74 that connect the front wall and the rear wall to form the upper surface and the bottom surface of the box-shaped body, and the side wall forming the side surface of the box-shaped body (FIG. 13 (FIG. 13). b) The back side of the paper surface), the first partition wall 73a and the second partition wall 73b for vertically partitioning the internal space, and the vertical wall 73c for partitioning the internal space back and forth are provided, and each of these walls is integrated from the resin material. Is formed in. The plate thickness of each of these walls is set to substantially the same size.

A bulging portion 72 is projected from the front wall and the rear wall, respectively, and an insertion hole 72a for inserting the fastening bolt B1 is formed in the bulging portion 72. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 13A, the case bodies 71R and 71L can be firmly integrated by screwing the nut N1 into the fastening bolt B1 inserted into the insertion hole 72a.

The first partition wall 73a and the second partition wall 73b are plate-like bodies arranged in a horizontal posture between the upper wall and the bottom wall 74 while connecting the front wall, the rear wall, and the side wall, and move up and down the internal space. It is divided into three spaces. The vertical wall 73c is a plate-shaped body arranged in a vertical posture between the front wall and the rear wall while connecting the upper wall, the bottom wall 74, and the side wall, and divides the internal space into two spaces in the front-rear direction.

Holding portions h1, h2, and h3 are formed on the upper wall, the first partition wall 73a, and the second partition wall 73b, respectively. The holding portions h1, h2, and h3 are portions recessed in an upper wall or the like for holding the projecting member 76 (see FIG. 12) so as to be movable in the axial direction, and are arranged coaxially. The holding portions h1, h2, and h3 of the case body 71R are formed in a semicircular shape in the axial direction when holding the projecting member 76, and the holding portions of the case body 71R formed in the same semicircular shape as these. By arranging them facing h1, h2, h3 (not shown), a circle is formed.

The circular inner diameter formed by the holding portions h1 and h2 is slightly larger than the outer diameter of the large diameter portion of the main body portion 76a of the projecting member 76, and is larger than the outer diameter of the overhanging portion 76b and the annular plate 76c. Is also made smaller. Further, the circular inner diameter formed by the holding portion h3 is slightly larger than the outer diameter of the small diameter portion in the main body portion 76a of the projecting member 76, and is smaller than the outer diameter of the coil spring 77 (see FIG. 14). ).

On the front wall, the vertical wall 73c, and the rear wall, receiving portions m1, m2, and m3 are formed at portions located between the upper wall and the first partition wall 73a, respectively. The receiving portions m1, m2, and m3 form a passage for moving the regulation plate 78 (see FIG. 12) back and forth (in the left-right direction in FIG. 13 (b)) and form a space for accommodating the regulation plate 78 pushed forward. It is a part recessed in the front wall or the like in order to do so. As shown in FIG. 13A, the receiving portions m1, m2 and m3 of the case body 71R are arranged so as to face the receiving portions m1, m2 and m3 (not shown) of the case body 71R. A horizontally long rectangular shape corresponding to the outer shape of the regulation plate 78 is formed.

The bottom wall 74 includes a rear bottom wall 74a connected to the rear wall, a front bottom wall 74b connected to the front wall, and a stepped portion connecting between the two bottom walls 74a and 74b. The front bottom wall 74b is formed so as to be one step higher than the rear bottom wall 74a. Therefore, in a state where the engaging device 70 is installed on the lower frame body 12 of the outer frame 10, the rear bottom wall 74a is in contact with the lower frame body 12, and between the front side bottom wall 74b and the lower frame body 12. A predetermined gap is formed (see FIG. 12).

Therefore, when the outer wall forming member 80 is attached to the group of the engaging devices 70 to form the outer frame side engaging device 16, the front bottom wall 74b and the lower side of the engaging device 70 (case bodies 71R, 71L) are formed. The bottom plate 82 of the outer wall forming member 80 can be inserted into the gap between the frame body 12 (see FIG. 12). Thereby, for example, the upward movement of the outer wall forming member 80 can be restricted without fastening and fixing with the fastening screw.

In this case, the portion connecting between the front bottom wall 74b and the front wall is formed so as to be inclined upward from the front bottom wall 74b toward the front wall. Therefore, since the gap between the front bottom wall 74b and the lower frame body 12 can be increased and the inclined portion can be used as a guide surface, the work of efficiently inserting the bottom plate 82 of the outer wall forming member 80 into the gap can be performed. Can be made.

By providing the vertical wall 73c at the position where the front bottom wall 74b and the upper wall are connected, not only the rigidity of the case bodies 71R and 71L can be ensured, but also the upper surface side (case body) of the engaging device 70 can be secured. The weight of the gaming machine main portion 20 mounted on the upper wall side of 71R and 71L) can be efficiently transmitted to the front bottom wall 74b by using the vertical wall 73c. That is, even if there is some gap between the front bottom wall 74b and the bottom plate 82 of the outer wall forming member 80, or between the bottom plate 82 of the outer wall forming member 80 and the lower outer frame 12, they are brought into close contact with each other. The weight of the main portion 20 of the gaming machine can be effectively supported even on the front bottom wall 74b side.

A seat surface portion 75 is formed on the outer surface of the side wall so as to project outward. The seat surface portion 75 is formed into a plate-shaped body whose bottom surface is flush with the bottom surface of the rear bottom wall 74b, and the plate-shaped body is provided with an insertion hole for inserting the fastening screw B2. Therefore, by fastening the fastening screw B2 inserted into the insertion hole of the seat surface portion 75 to the lower frame body 12, the case bodies 71R and 71L are fastened and fixed to the lower frame body 12.

Next, the projecting member 76 and the coil spring 77 will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 14 is a front view of the projecting member 76 and the coil spring 77. In FIG. 14, the annular plate 76c is shown in cross section.

The projecting member 14 is a member that is movably housed in the internal space of the case bodies 71R and 71L, and has a large diameter portion and a small diameter portion having a smaller diameter than the large diameter portion thereof, and is formed in a shaft shape. The shaft main body 76a is provided with a flange-shaped overhanging portion 76b protruding outward in the radial direction from the large diameter portion thereof, and an annular plate 76c formed as an annular disk.

The main body portion 76a includes a hemispherical tip portion 76a1 at its tip. The overhanging portion 76b is formed by bending the connecting portion between the lower surface (lower side surface in FIG. 14) and the side surface in an arc shape. As a result, when the regulation plate 78 is operated, the overhanging portion 76b can be smoothly moved along the inclined upper surface 78b and the rear end upper surface 78c of the regulation plate 78, and the projecting member 76 can be reliably moved in and out. 20 to 22).

A circular hole is opened in the center of the annular plate 76c. The inner diameter of the hole is larger than the outer diameter of the small diameter portion of the main body portion 76a and smaller than the outer diameter of the large diameter portion of the main body portion 76a. Therefore, when the small diameter portion of the main body portion 76a is inserted into the central hole of the annular plate 76c, the annular plate 76c is locked by the step between the large diameter portion and the small diameter portion of the main body portion 76a.

The inner diameter of the coil spring 77 is larger than the small diameter portion of the main body portion 76a, and the outer diameter thereof is smaller than the outer diameter of the annular plate 76c. Therefore, when the small diameter portion of the main body portion 76a is inserted into the coil spring 77, the end surface of the coil spring 77 comes into contact with the plate surface of the annular plate 76c.

Next, the regulation plate 78 will be described with reference to FIG. 15 (a) is a top view of the regulation plate 78, and FIG. 15 (b) is a cross-sectional view of the regulation plate 78 in the XVb-XVb line of FIG. 15 (a).

As shown in FIGS. 15A and 15B, the regulation plate 78 is formed from a resin material in the shape of a rectangular plate when viewed from above. The regulation plate 78 has a front upper surface 78b and a rear end upper surface 78c formed parallel to the horizontal bottom surface (lower side surface in FIG. 15B), and the front end upper surface 78a toward the rear end upper surface 78c. And an inclined upper surface 78b that inclines upward is formed.

Each of these upper surfaces 78a, 78b, 78c is formed as a rectangular region as shown in FIG. 15 (a). Further, the plate thickness of the regulation plate 78 (dimension in the vertical direction in FIG. 15B) is set to be the minimum in the portion where the tip upper surface 78a is formed and the maximum in the portion where the rear end upper surface 78c is formed. Further, the plate thickness of the portion where the inclined upper surface 78b is formed is gradually changed along the inclination.

The plate thickness of the portion where the tip upper surface 78a of the regulation plate 78 is formed is equal to or slightly smaller than the height of the receiving portion m3 of the case body 71R, and the plate thickness of the portion where the inclined upper surface 78b of the regulation plate 78 is formed. Is equal to or slightly smaller than the height of the receiving portion m2 of the case body 71R, and the plate thickness of the portion where the rear end upper surface 78c of the regulating plate 78 is formed is equal to or slightly smaller than the height of the receiving portion m1 of the case body 71R. (See FIG. 13 (b)). Therefore, in the state where the regulation plate 78 is pushed most forward, each part of the regulation plate 78 is housed in the receiving portions m1, m2, and m3 (see FIG. 22).

The inclined upper surface 78b is directly connected to the rear end upper surface 78c as shown in FIG. 15B, whereas the tip upper surface 78a is connected to the tip upper surface 78a via a stepped surface perpendicular to the bottom surface. NS. Here, in a state where the projecting member 76 is arranged at the initial position (state before regulation by the regulation plate 78, see FIG. 21) due to the urging of the coil spring 77, the first partition wall 73a of the case body 71R and the projecting member The distance between the overhanging portion 76b of the 76 is made larger than the plate thickness of the portion of the regulating plate 78 where the inclined upper surface 78b is formed. Therefore, even if the inclined upper surface 78b is not extended to a position where it is directly connected to the tip upper surface 78a, the operation of pushing the regulation plate 78 and intruding the inclined upper surface 78b into the lower surface of the overhanging portion 76b of the projecting member 76 ( The operation when transitioning from the state of FIG. 21 to the state of FIG. 22) can be smoothly performed.

Therefore, according to the regulation plate 78 in the present embodiment, the length dimension (left-right direction in FIG. 15B) is compared with the case where the inclined upper surface 78b is extended to the position where it is directly connected to the tip upper surface 78a. Dimensions) can be shortened, and as a result, component costs can be reduced. Further, since the inclination angle of the inclined upper surface 78b can be made gentle while shortening the length dimension of the regulating plate 78 in this way, the regulating plate 78 is pushed forward while pushing the protruding member 76 upward by the inclined upper surface 78b. The pushing operation can be performed smoothly.

The regulation plate 78 includes a through hole 78d having a rectangular shape when viewed from above, which is penetrated in the plate thickness direction. A large diameter portion of the main body portion 76a of the projecting member 76 is inserted into the through hole 78d (see FIG. 12). Therefore, the width dimension of the through hole 78d (vertical dimension in FIG. 15A) is slightly larger than the diameter of the large diameter portion of the main body portion 76a of the projecting member 76.

Further, the through hole 78d has a width dimension (vertical dimension in FIG. 15A) smaller than the outer diameter of the overhanging portion 76b of the projecting member 76, and is formed from the front end upper surface 78a to the rear end upper surface 78c. Is done. As a result, at least the inclined upper surface 78b and the rear end upper surface 78c can be brought into contact with the overhanging portion 76b of the projecting member 76 (see FIG. 22). Further, the overhanging portion 76b of the projecting member 76 can be separated from the inclined upper surface 78b so as to face the tip upper surface 78a (see FIG. 20).

Here, since the regulation plate 78 is formed as a closed space formed by the through hole 78d, the protruding member 76 is formed in the through hole 78d in the assembled state of the engaging device 70 (see FIG. 12). By being inserted, the regulation plate 78 cannot be pulled out. Therefore, for example, it is possible to prevent the regulation plate 78 from falling off during transportation of the pachinko machine 1 and to prevent the operator from carelessly pulling it out and losing it after installation on the island facility.

Returning to FIG. 12, a method of assembling the engaging device 70 will be described. First, the main body portion 76a of the protruding member 76 is inserted into the through hole 78d of the regulating member 78, and then the annular plate 76c and the coil spring 77 are inserted into the small diameter portion of the main body portion 76a. That is, a state in which the regulation plate 78 is sandwiched between the overhanging portion 76b of the main body portion 76a and the annular plate 76c is formed. Hereinafter, the projecting member 76 and the regulation plate 78 in this state will be referred to as "first assembly parts".

Next, the first assembly component is mounted on the case body 71R from the mating surface side. That is, as shown in FIG. 12, the first assembly parts are fitted into the holding portions h1 to h3 and the receiving portions m1 to m3 of the case body 71R. In this case, the overhanging portion 76b of the projecting member 76 is arranged between the upper wall of the case body 71R and the first partition wall 73a, and the first partition wall 73a and the second partition wall 73b of the case body 71R are arranged. An annular plate 76c and a coil spring 77 are arranged between them. The regulation plate 78 may be fitted into at least the receiving portion m1 of the receiving portions m1 to m3 of the case body 71R. That is, the regulation plate 78 does not have to reach the receiving portions m2 and m3, and it is sufficient that the large diameter portion of the main body portion 76a of the projecting member 76 is inserted through the through hole 78d.

After mounting the first assembly part on the case body 71R, the case body 71L is connected to the case body 71R facing each other (that is, the mating surfaces are connected to each other) and inserted into the insertion hole 72a of the bulging portion 72. The nut N1 is screwed into the fastening screw B1 that has been tightened. As a result, the case bodies 71R and 71L are integrated in a state where the projecting member 76 and the regulation plate 78 are housed, and the assembly of the engaging device 70 is completed.

The outer wall forming member 80 is attached to the group of engaging devices 70 from the front surface side, and is a member for forming an outer wall around the group of engaging devices 70, and is formed in a box shape with one side open. Here, the outer wall forming member 80 will be described with reference to FIGS. 16 and 17.

16 (a) is a top view of the outer wall forming member 80, and FIG. 16 (b) is a front view of the outer wall forming member 80 in the direction of arrow XVIb of FIG. 16 (a). 17 (a) is a cross-sectional view of the outer wall forming member 80 in the line XVIIa-XVIIa of FIG. 16 (b), and FIG. 17 (b) shows the outer wall formation in the direction of arrow XVIIb of FIG. 16 (b). It is a side view of the member 80.

As shown in FIGS. 16 and 17, the outer wall forming member 80 includes a top plate 81, a bottom plate 82 arranged to face the top plate 81 at a predetermined interval, and the top plate 81 and the bottom plate 82. A connecting front plate 83 to be connected and a pair of side plates 84 formed at both ends in the longitudinal direction of the connecting front plate 83 and arranged to face each other are provided.

That is, in the outer wall forming member 80, the connecting front plate 83 is formed in a rectangular shape in a front view, and the top plate 81 and the bottom plate 82 are paired from the left and right sides from the upper and lower sides of the rectangular shape (connecting front plate 83). The side plates 84 are extended in the same direction (to the right in FIG. 17A). As a result, the outer wall forming member 80 is formed in a box shape in which one side (the side opposite to the connecting front plate 83, the right side in FIG. 17A) is open. A predetermined gap is formed between the top plate 81 and the side plate 84, and between the bottom plate 82 and the side plate 84.

A plurality of folded pieces 81a (four in the present embodiment, see FIG. 5) are formed on the top plate 81. The folded piece 81a is a small piece having a rectangular shape in a top view, which is projected from the edge of the extending tip side (opposite side of the connecting front plate 83) of the upper surface plate 81, and is formed on the upper surface side of the upper surface plate 81 (FIG. 17 (a)). It is formed by folding back to the upper side). The facing surface distance between the folded piece 81a and the upper surface plate 81 is set to a dimension equal to or slightly larger than the plate thickness of the insertion claw 36c of the main portion side shaft support member 35.

As shown in FIG. 17A, the folded-back tip of the folded-back piece 81a is formed so that the surface facing the top plate 81 (lower side in FIG. 17A) is inclined upward toward the folded-back tip. NS. Therefore, the gap between the facing surfaces between the folded piece 81a and the upper surface plate 81 is widened toward the folded tip side (left side in FIG. 17 (a)) of the folded piece 81a, so that the insertion 36c1 of the shaft-supported member 35 on the main portion side is widened. Is inserted between the facing surfaces, the insertion operation can be smoothly performed (see FIGS. 23 and 24).

The top plate 81 is provided with infestation holes 81b at a plurality of locations (five locations in the present embodiment, see FIG. 5). The indentation hole 81b is a circular hole through which the projecting member 76 of the engagement device 70 can appear and disappear, and is provided at a position corresponding to the plurality of engagement devices 70. Further, the inner diameter of the infestation hole 81b is slightly larger than the outer diameter of the main body portion 76a (large diameter portion) of the projecting member 76 (see FIG. 12).

In the outer wall forming member 80, a plate-like body made of a single metal material is punched into a predetermined outer shape by press working, and a predetermined portion of the punched material (top plate 81 and bottom plate with respect to the connecting front plate 83). It is formed by bending the portion to which the 82 and the side plate 84 are connected, and the folded piece 81a). When punching a plate-shaped body, a haunting hole 81b is formed at the same time as the outer shape is formed.

It will be described back to FIG. The outer wall forming member 80 has its open surface side (opposite side to the connecting front plate 83) fastened and fixed to the lower frame body 12 of the outer frame 10 on the front side (game machine main portion 20 side) of the group of engaging devices 70. , Directly (horizontally) toward the engaging device 70 from the state of being arranged facing each other (on the left side of FIG. 12), the device is attached to the group of engaging devices 70. As a result, the outer wall forming member 80 surrounds the group of the engaging devices 70.

That is, the upper surface wall 81 of the outer wall forming member 80 is on the upper surface side of the group of the engaging device 70, and the connecting front plate 83 of the outer wall forming device 80 is on the front side of the group of the engaging device 70. A pair of side plates 84 of the outer wall forming device 80 are arranged to face each other on the left and right sides of the group. As a result, the engaging device 70 is housed in the internal space of the outer wall forming member 80, and it is possible to make it difficult to access each engaging device 70 from the outside.

The pair of side plates 84 of the outer wall forming member 80 has the extended tip (the edge on the opposite side to the connecting front plate 83) in the side view (see FIG. 12B), and the left frame of the outer frame 10. It is extended to a position where it overlaps with the body 13 and the right frame body 14. Therefore, it is possible to make it more difficult to access the engaging device 70 from between the left and right side surface plates 84 of the outer wall forming member 80 and the left frame body 13 and the right frame body 14 of the outer frame 10.

Further, the bottom plate 82 of the outer wall forming member 80 is inserted between the facing surfaces of the bottom wall 74 (front outer wall 74b) of each engaging device 70 and the lower frame body 12 of the outer frame 10, and the gap is closed. NS. Further, the bottom plate 82 of the outer wall forming member 80 is continuous in the left-right direction along the lower frame body 12 of the outer frame 10. That is, the bottom plate 82 of the outer wall forming member 80 is in contact with the upper surface of the lower frame body 12 of the outer frame 10 even between the adjacent engaging devices 70. This makes it difficult to access each engaging device 70 from between the lower frame body 12 of the outer frame 10 and the bottom wall 82 of the outer frame forming member 80.

On the other hand, since the outer wall forming member 80 is formed in an open shape on one side (the side opposite to the connecting front wall 83, the right side in FIG. 12B), the back side of the group of the engaging devices 70 is exposed. Can be done. Therefore, in a state where the gaming machine main portion 20 is open to the outer frame 10 (see FIGS. 3 and 4), it is possible to easily access the regulation plate 78 projecting to the back surface side of the engaging device 70. Therefore, it is possible to improve workability when the operator pushes in or pulls out the regulation plate 78.

Here, when the outer wall forming member 80 is attached to the group of the engaging device 70, the tip of the protruding member 76 of the engaging device 70 is inserted into the protruding hole 81b of the upper surface plate 81 of the outer wall forming member 80, and the outer wall thereof is inserted. It is in a state of protruding from the upper surface plate 81 of the forming member 80. Therefore, the movement of the outer wall forming member 80 in the pulling out direction (the direction opposite to the pushing direction at the time of mounting, the left direction in FIG. 12B) is restricted by the engagement between the protruding member 76 and the protruding hole 81b of the upper surface plate 81. can do. Further, the movement of the outer wall forming member 80 in the upward direction (upward in FIG. 12B) is performed between the lower frame body 12 of the outer frame 10 and the bottom wall 74 (front bottom wall 74b) of the engaging device 70. By sandwiching the bottom wall 82 of the outer wall forming member 80, it can be regulated.

As described above, the outer wall forming member 80 can be easily attached to the engaging device 70 by simply pushing it into the engaging device 70 in one direction, so that the assembly man-hours can be reduced accordingly. Further, it is not necessary to fix both of them by using a fastening screw or the like, and the function for connecting to the gaming machine main portion 20 (main portion side shaft support member 35) is used (also used) to form the outer wall forming member 80. Is fixed to the engaging device 70, so that the number of parts can be reduced accordingly. On the other hand, since both 70 and 80 can be firmly connected while enabling simple mounting in this way, it is possible to prevent the outer wall forming member 80 from being illegally removed from the engaging device 70.

As shown in FIG. 12, the outer frame side engaging member 16 is provided on the upper surface side (upper side of FIGS. 12A and 12B) by mounting the outer wall forming member 80 on the engaging device 70. , A structure for engaging with the main portion side shaft support member 35 of the gaming machine main portion 20 (a protruding member 76 protruding from the upper surface wall 81 of the outer wall forming member 80, a folded piece 81a of the upper surface wall 81, etc.) is formed. NS. Here, with reference to FIGS. 18 and 19, the main portion side shaft-supported member 35 will be described.

18 (a) is a top view of the main portion side shaft support member 35, and FIG. 18 (b) is a front view of the main portion side shaft support member 35 in the direction of arrow XVIIIb of FIG. 18 (a). Is. Further, FIG. 19 is a cross-sectional view of the shaft-supported member 35 on the main portion side in the XIX-XIX line of FIG. 18 (b). In addition, in FIG. 18A, the vicinity of the insertion claw 36c is partially viewed in cross section and shown.

As shown in FIGS. 18 and 19, the main body side shaft support member 35 has a long plate-shaped main body plate 36 and a main body along the longitudinal direction (horizontal direction in FIG. 18A) of the main body plate 36. It is provided with a standing plate 37 which is erected from the edge of the plate 36 and whose tip portion is folded back in parallel to the main body plate 36 side to form an inverted L-shaped cross section.

In the main portion side shaft support member 35, the upright plate 37 is erected toward the upper surface side (upper side of FIG. 19) of the main body plate 36 (that is, one edge portion of the main portion side shaft support member 35 is erected. , It is formed by folding back toward the upper surface side of the main body plate 36), so that the bottom surface of the main portion side shaft-supported member 35 (main body plate 36) can be formed into a flat surface shape. Therefore, since the ground contact area can be secured, when the main portion side shaft support member 35 is opened (arranged in a dogleg shape) and the gaming machine main portion 20 (inner frame 30) is made to stand on its own (Fig. 6), the independence can be stabilized.

Further, even when the main portion side axial support member 35 is formed into a long shape from a plate-like body, by providing the upright plate 37 on the main portion side axial support member 35, the amount can be increased. Flexural rigidity can be increased. Therefore, by using the main portion side shaft support member 35 in a state where the main portion side shaft support member 35 is opened with respect to the gaming machine main portion 20 (inner frame 30), the gaming machine main portion 20 can be moved. When it is made to stand on its own, it can firmly support the main part 20 of the gaming machine. Therefore, from this point as well, the independence of the gaming machine main unit 20 can be stabilized.

On the other hand, when the edge portion of the main portion side shaft support member 35 is folded back, the other main portion side shaft support member 35 is superposed on the main portion side shaft support member 35, and a plurality of gaming machines are used. When the main portion 20 is made independent (that is, a plurality of gaming machine main portions 20 (inner frames 30) are made independent in the state shown in FIG. 6), the folded edge portion of the main portion side shaft support member 35 of 1 is used. When the other main portion side shaft support member 35 rides on, the riding machine main portion 20 tilts and its independence becomes unstable.

On the other hand, in the present embodiment, the main portion side shaft support member 35 is a side edge portion located on the gaming machine main portion 20 side in a state where the gaming machine main portion 20 (inner frame 30) is self-supporting. Is formed in a flat plate shape. That is, the flat plate-shaped main body plate 36 is formed with the upright plate 37 only at the edge portion opposite to the gaming machine main portion 20 (see FIG. 6). Therefore, avoiding the edge portion (standing plate 37) formed by folding back, the other main portion side shaft support member 35 is sequentially stacked on the opposite edge portion (that is, on the main body plate 36). I can go. Therefore, it is possible to suppress the inclination of the main portion 20 of the gaming machine and make it stand on its own in a stable manner.

Here, the erection plate 37 is formed over the entire area in the longitudinal direction of the main portion side shafted support member 35 (that is, over the range from one end side to the other end side in the longitudinal direction of the main body plate 36). Therefore, the rigidity of the shaft-supported member 35 on the main portion side can be uniformly improved over the entire longitudinal direction. That is, when a structure is adopted in which the edge portion on the opposite side of the upright plate 37 is bent to increase the rigidity of the shaft-supported member 35 on the main portion side, the support metal fitting 33 can move to the upper surface side in the vicinity of the support shaft 34. The edges cannot be bent due to being placed on. Therefore, a portion having low rigidity is partially formed only in the vicinity of the support shaft 34.

The main body plate 36 is provided with receiving holes 36a at a plurality of locations (five locations in the present embodiment, see FIG. 5). The receiving hole 36a is a circular hole for receiving the projecting member 76 of the outer frame side engaging member 16 (engaging device 70), and is provided at a position corresponding to the plurality of engaging devices 70, respectively. The inner diameter of the receiving hole 36a is slightly larger than the outer diameter of the main body portion 76a (large diameter portion) of the protruding member 76 (see FIG. 12).

The receiving hole 36a may be formed in an elongated hole shape in which the longitudinal direction (left-right direction in FIG. 18A) of the outer frame side engaging member 16 is the major axis direction. In this case, when assembling the gaming machine main portion 20 to the outer frame 10, the tip of the protruding member 76 can be easily received by the receiving hole 36a by utilizing the length in the major axis direction of the receiving hole 36a. can. Therefore, even if there is a misalignment of the main shaft support member 35 with respect to the outer frame side engaging member 16 or a dimensional tolerance of the member, the efficiency of assembling the gaming machine main portion 20 with respect to the outer frame 10 should be improved. Can be done. On the other hand, in order to direct the minor axis direction (vertical direction in FIG. 18A) of the receiving hole 36 toward the direction in which the game machine main portion 20 is pulled out from the outer frame 10, the receiving hole 76 is a receiving hole in that direction. It can be accepted with less rattling in 36a.

The main body plate 36 and the upright plate 37 are formed with openings 36b at a plurality of locations (four locations in the present embodiment, see FIG. 5). The opening 36b is an opening for receiving the folded piece 81a in the outer wall forming member 80 of the outer frame side engaging device 16, and is formed in the standing plate 37 in a rectangular shape in a front view as shown in FIG. 18B. The width dimension of the opening portion (FIG. 18 (b) left-right direction dimension) is formed to be slightly larger than the width dimension (FIG. 16 (a) left-right direction dimension) of the folded piece 81a of the outer frame forming member 80.

The opening 36b has a U-shaped top view arranged on the left and right, as shown in FIG. 18A, while the portion opened in the main body plate 36 communicates with the portion opened in the upright plate 37. Is formed in. As a result, the main body plate 36 is formed with an insertion claw 36c projecting toward the opening 36b. Here, the insertion claws 36c are formed in each of the plurality of (four in the present embodiment) openings 36b.

As shown in FIG. 19, the protruding tip of the insertion claw 36c is formed so that the upper surface (upper side of FIG. 19) is inclined downward toward the protruding tip. Therefore, when the insertion claw 36c is inserted between the facing surfaces between the folded piece 81a of the outer wall forming member 80 and the main body plate 36, the insertion operation can be smoothly performed (see FIGS. 23 and 24). ).

A fixing plate 36d is formed on the main body plate 36 on one end side in the longitudinal direction (left side in FIG. 18A). The fixing plate 36c is erected in the same direction as the upright plate 37 and is formed in an inverted J-shaped cross section to fix the arm of the torsion coil spring CS. That is, the support metal fitting 33 disposed at the lower end of the resin base 31 of the inner frame 30 is inserted into the insertion hole of the support metal fitting 33 in the shaft-supported member 35 on the main portion side. It is placed (see Fig. 4).

In this case, the torsion coil spring CS inserts the coil portion into the support shaft 34, fixes one arm extending from the coil portion to the fixing plate 36d of the main portion side shafted support member 35, and supports the other arm. In a state of being fixed to the fixed portion of the metal fitting 33, the support metal fitting 33 is interposed between the support metal fitting 33 and the shaft-supported member 35 on the main portion side. As a result, the shaft-supported member 35 on the main portion side is released from the support metal fitting 33 (that is, the inner frame 30) by the torsion torque of the torsion coil spring CS with the support shaft 34 as the center of rotation. Being urged (see Figure 6).

As described above, the shaft-supported member 35 on the main portion side is urged by the torsion coil spring CS in the direction of being opened with respect to the inner frame 30 (game machine main portion 20). When the inner frame 30 is made to stand on its own (see FIG. 6) in a state where the main portion side shaft support member 35 is open with respect to the inner frame 30 (see FIG. 6), the main portion side shaft support member 35 is used. Can be maintained in an open state to stabilize the independence of the inner frame 30. That is, when the inner frame 30 is self-supporting, it is possible to prevent the main portion side shaft-supported member 35 from being inadvertently closed and destabilizing the self-supporting of the inner frame 30.

Further, in this way, the structure in which the shaft-supported member 35 on the main portion side is urged in a direction in which the inner frame 30 (game machine main portion 20) is opened by the torsional torque of the torsion coil spring CS. If so, in a state where the game machine main portion 20 is arranged so as to be openable and closable with respect to the outer frame 10 (see FIGS. 3 and 4), the urging force (torsion torque) of the torsion coil spring CS is applied to the game machine main. It can be used as a force in the direction of opening the portion 20. Therefore, even when the weight of the gaming machine main unit 20 is heavy, for example, it is possible to facilitate the operation of the operator for releasing the gaming machine main unit 20.

The main part side shaft support member 35 is pressed to punch a plate-like body made of a single metal material into a predetermined outer shape, and the punched material has a predetermined portion (standing plate 37 and fixing plate 36d). Is formed by bending. When the plate-shaped body is punched, the receiving hole 36a and the opening 36b are bored at the same time as the outer shape is formed.

It will be described back to FIG. First, the connection (engagement) between the outer frame side engaging member 16 disposed on the outer frame 10 and the main portion side shafted support member 35 disposed on the inner frame 30 (game machine main portion 20) is first performed. The inner frame 30 (game machine main portion 20) is arranged face-to-face on the front surface of the outer frame 10 (see FIG. 2). As a result, as shown in FIG. 12, the main portion side shaft support member 35 is arranged on the outer frame side engaging member 16 with the erection plate 37 side facing, so that the inner frame side 10 is directed toward the outer frame 10. By pushing the frame 30 straight, the outer frame side connecting member 15 and the main part side connecting member 32 are connected (see FIG. 10), and the main part side shaft support member 35 and the outer frame side engaging. It can be connected to the member 16.

In this case, on the upper surface of the outer frame side engaging member 16 (upper surface plate 81 of the outer wall forming member 80), the main portion side shafted support member 35 (main portion side shafted support member 35 is interposed through the gaming machine main portion 20). ) Is formed. That is, in the state where the main portion side shaft support member 35 is placed in such a region, the outer frame side connecting member 15 and the main portion side connecting member 32 are not connected (see FIG. 10A). In addition, the protruding member 76 of the outer frame side engaging member 16 can be in a state of not being accepted by the receiving hole 36a of the main portion side shaft-supported member 35.

Therefore, when assembling the gaming machine main portion 20 to the outer frame 10, first, the tip end side (standing plate 37 side) of the main portion side shafted support portion 35 of the gaming machine main portion 20 is attached to the outer frame side engaging member. It is placed (temporarily placed) on the above-mentioned area on the upper surface of 16 and then the main portion 20 of the gaming machine is pushed in to move (slide) the shaft-mounted support portion 35 on the main portion side along the upper surface of the outer frame side engaging member 16. As a result, the outer frame side connecting member 15 and the main part side connecting member 32 are connected (see FIG. 10C), and the protruding member 76 of the outer frame side engaging member 16 is connected to the main part side shaft support member 35. Can be inserted (accepted) into the receiving hole 36a of the above (see FIGS. 20 to 24).

That is, when the operator connects the connecting members 15 and 16 and receives the projecting member 76 into the receiving hole 36a, the operator needs to perform those operations while supporting the weight of the gaming machine main portion 20. After the gaming machine main portion 20 is temporarily placed on the outer frame side engaging member 16, it is only necessary to push it in the horizontal direction. Therefore, it is possible to improve the workability of the work of assembling the gaming machine main portion 20 to the outer frame 10.

In this case, the protruding member 76 has a hemispherical tip portion at the initial position shown in FIG. 12 (a state in which the upper surface of the regulation plate 78 is not in contact with the lower surface of the overhanging portion 76b by being urged only by the coil spring 77). Since only 76b1 protrudes from the upper surface of the outer frame side engaging member 16 (upper surface plate 81 of the outer wall forming member 80), the main portion side shaft support member 35 slides on the upper surface of the outer frame side engaging member 16. When the corner portion (the connection portion between the main body plate 36 and the erection wall 37) of the shaft-supported member 35 on the main portion side is moved (sliding) and comes into contact with the projecting member 76, the protrusion member 76 is suppressed from being caught. Can be more reliably immersed under the facing surface.

Here, with reference to FIGS. 20 to 24, a connecting operation between the outer frame side engaging member 16 disposed on the outer frame 10 and the main portion side shafted support portion 35 disposed on the inner frame 30. Will be explained.

20 (a), 21 (a), 22 (a), 23 (a) and 24 (a) show the outer frame side engaging member 16 and the main part side shaft support member during the connection operation. It is a perspective view of 35, FIG. 20 (a) and FIG. 23 (a) are the start of the connecting operation, and FIG. 22 (a) and 24 (a) show the finished state, respectively, at the end of the connecting operation in which the regulation plate 78 is pushed.

20 (b), 21 (b), 22 (b), 23 (b) and 24 (b) are shown by arrow XXb in FIG. 20 (a) and arrow XXIb in FIG. 21 (a). 22 (a), XXIIb of FIG. 23 (a), and arrow XXIVb of FIG. 24 (a), is a cross-sectional view of the outer frame side engaging member 16 and the main portion side shafted support member 35.

Further, in FIGS. 20 to 24, only the main configurations are designated with reference numerals in order to simplify the drawings. Further, in FIGS. 20 to 22, the side surface of the case body 71R, which is the mating surface with the case body 71L, is shown with hatching.

As shown in FIG. 20, when the connecting operation is started and the main portion side shaft support member 35 is moved along the upper surface of the outer frame side engaging member 16 (outer wall forming member 80), the main portion side cover member 35 is moved. As the shaft support member 35 moves, the protruding member 76 is pushed downward, and the protruding member 76 is immersed in the lower surface side of the main portion side shafted support member 35.

In this case, as shown in FIG. 23, the folded tip of the folded piece 81a of the outer frame side engaging member 16 (outer wall forming member 80) is inserted into the opening 36b of the main portion side shafted support member 35. As a result, the folded piece 81a is restricted by the opening 36b, and the main portion side shafted support member 35 can be positioned in the left-right direction (FIG. 21 (b) perpendicular to the paper surface) with respect to the outer frame side engaging member 16. can. Further, when the shaft-supported member 35 on the main portion side is further pushed (moved forward) with respect to the engaging member 16 on the outer frame side, the opening portion 36b is guided along the folded piece 81a. The shaft-supported member 35 on the main portion side can be reliably moved to an appropriate position (that is, a position where the projecting member 76 can be received in the receiving hole 36a).

As shown in FIG. 21, when the main portion side shaft support member 35 is further pushed (forwardly moved) with respect to the outer frame side engaging member 16 from the state shown in FIG. 20, the main portion side shaft support member 35 is further pushed (moved forward). The protruding member 76 of the outer frame side engaging member 16 (engaging device 70) is received (the tip portion is inserted) into the receiving hole 36a of the 35.

As shown in FIG. 21, when the tip of the projecting member 76 is inserted into the receiving hole 36a, the tip of the insertion claw 36c of the main shaft side supported member 35 is the outer frame side engaging member 16 ( It is in contact with the root portion of the folded piece 81a of the outer wall forming member 80). As a result, the pushing operation (forward movement) of the shaft-supported member 35 on the main portion side can be reliably stopped at an appropriate position (the position where the protruding member 76 is received in the receiving hole 36a).

Further, when the tip of the insertion claw 36c is in contact with the root portion of the folded piece 81a, the pushing operation (forward movement) of the main portion side shafted support member 35 with respect to the outer frame side engaging member 16 is tentatively performed. Even if it is performed with a very strong force due to carelessness of a person or the like, it is possible to avoid the force acting only on the projecting member 76. That is, since the force acting from the shaft-supported member 35 on the main portion side can be shared by both the folded-back piece 81a and the projecting member 76, damage to the projecting member 76 can be suppressed by that amount.

As shown in FIG. 21, the tip portion of the protruding member 76 of the outer frame side engaging member 16 (engaging device 70) is received in the receiving hole 36a of the main portion side shafted support member 35, so that the main portion side is received. The shaft support member 35 and the outer frame side engaging member 16 are connected to each other. However, in this state, when the shaft-supported member 35 on the main portion side is pulled (retracted) in the extraction direction (leftward in FIG. 21B), the tip of the projecting member 76 from the inner peripheral surface of the receiving hole 36a Due to the force acting on the portion 76a1, the projecting member 76 moves downward and is submerged below the receiving hole 36a, so that the shaft-supported member 35 on the main portion side may be able to be pulled out.

Therefore, after the state shown in FIG. 21 is reached, the regulation plate 78 is pushed toward the projecting member 76 (that is, toward the left in FIG. 21B) from the back surface side of the outer frame side engaging member 16. The operation is performed. When the regulating plate 78 is pushed toward the protruding member 76, the inclined upper surface 78b of the regulating plate 78 is invaded into the lower surface of the overhanging portion 76b of the protruding member 76, and the inclined upper surface 78b is pushed along with the pushing operation of the regulating plate 78. Raises the projecting member 76 via the overhanging portion 76b.

As shown in FIGS. 22 and 23, when the regulation plate 78 is further pushed toward the projecting member 76, the rear end upper surface 78c of the regulation plate 78 penetrates into the lower surface of the overhanging portion 76b of the projecting member 76. Since the upper surface 78c of the rear end of the regulation plate 78 is formed parallel to the bottom surface, the regulation plate 78 is interposed between the overhanging portion 76b of the projecting member 76 and the first partition wall 73a of the case bodies 71R and 71L. This makes it possible to restrict the downward movement of the projecting member 76.

That is, as shown in FIGS. 22 and 23, in a state where the overhanging portion 76b of the projecting member 76 is supported by the rear end upper surface 78c of the regulation plate 78, the receiving hole 36a of the main portion side shafted support member 35 is tentatively provided. Even if a fraudulent act of directly pushing down the tip portion of the projecting member 76 projecting from the above is performed by some method, it is possible to prevent the projecting member 76 from being immersed.

Further, as shown in FIGS. 22 and 23, in a state where the overhanging portion 76b of the protruding member 76 is supported by the rear end upper surface 78c of the regulating plate 78, the hemispherical tip portion 76a1 of the protruding member 76 is the main portion. It is projected upward from the upper surface (upper side surface of FIG. 22B) of the side shaft support member 35. That is, the portion facing the inner peripheral surface of the receiving hole 36a is a columnar portion in the main body portion 76a of the projecting member 76. Therefore, even if the shaft-supported member 35 on the main portion side is pulled by a strong force in the extraction direction (left direction in FIG. 21B) and the inner peripheral surface of the receiving hole 36a comes into contact with the protruding member 76, the inner peripheral surface thereof abuts. It is not possible to apply a force that moves the projecting member 76 downward by contact.

Next, with reference to FIG. 25, a holding structure for holding the main portion side shafted support member 35 in a closed state in the inner frame 30 will be described. FIG. 25 is a rear perspective view of the inner frame 30 on the rotation tip side. In addition, in FIG. 25, the main part side shaft supported member 35 in the state where the locking by the locking device KD is released is schematically illustrated by using the alternate long and short dash line.

As shown in FIG. 25, the engaging claw KDb of the locking device KD includes a second engaging claw KDb1 that can be engaged with the upright plate 37 of the main portion side shaft support member 35. The second engaging claw KDb1 is integrally formed with a plate-shaped body forming the engaging claw KDb, and is projected downward (downward in FIG. 25) from the edge of the plate-shaped body. The second engaging claw KDb1 is engaged with the outer surface side (opposite side of the main body plate 36) of the upright plate 37 of the main portion side shaft support member 35, so that the main portion side shaft support member 35 The movement in the opening direction (that is, the state shown by the two-dot chain line in FIG. 25) is restricted, and the main portion side shaft-supported member 35 is held in the closed state shown by the solid line in FIG. 25.

On the other hand, when the engaging claw KDb is displaced in the direction of disengaging the engagement with the claw receiving member 17 of the outer frame 10 by the key operation of the cylinder lock KDa, the second engaging claw KDb is displaced. The engaging claw KDb1 is displaced upward (upward in FIG. 25). As a result, the second engaging claw KDb1 is retracted upward from the outer surface side (opposite side of the main body plate 36) of the upright plate 37 of the main portion side shaft support member 35, and the main portion side shaft support member 35 Movement from the closed state shown by the solid line in FIG. 25 is permitted. As a result, the shaft-supported member 35 on the main portion side is moved in the opening direction (that is, the state shown by the two-dot chain line in FIG. 25).

In this way, the second engaging claw KDb1 can hold the main portion side shaft support member 35 on the bottom surface side of the inner frame 30 (game machine main portion 20), so that the gaming machine main portion 20 can be held in the outer frame. It is possible to improve workability when assembling to 10. That is, the shaft-supported member 35 on the main portion side is urged by the torsion coil spring CS in the direction of being opened with respect to the main portion 20 of the gaming machine, and this is played by the second engaging claw KDb1. If it can be held on the bottom surface side of the machine main portion 20 (held in a closed state), the operator can hold the main portion side shaft support member 35 in a closed state by himself / herself, for example, with one hand. However, it is not necessary to perform the complicated work of assembling the game machine main part 20 to the outer frame 10, and it is possible to concentrate only on the work of assembling the game machine main part 20 to the outer frame 10.

Here, the second engaging claw KDb1 that holds the main portion side shafted support member 35 is integrally formed with the engaging claw KDb. Therefore, when the engagement between the engaging claw KDb and the claw receiving member 17 of the outer frame 10 is released by the operation of the locking device KD (key operation of the cylinder lock KDa), the engagement is interlocked with the releasing operation. The holding (engagement) of the shaft-supported member 35 on the main portion side by the second engaging claw KDb1 can also be released.

Therefore, when assembling the gaming machine main portion 20 to the outer frame 10, the main portion side shaft support member 35 is held by the second engaging claw KDb1 to improve the workability of the assembling work, and after assembling. The gaming machine main unit 20 can be opened with respect to the outer frame 10 only by operating the locking device KD (key operation of the cylinder lock KDa). That is, with only one key operation on the cylinder lock KDa, the lock on the outer frame 10 of the gaming machine main portion 20 and the holding by the second engaging claw KDb1 on the main portion side shaft support member 35 can be released at the same time. It can be carried out.

To release the holding (engagement) of the main shaft side supported member 35 by the second engaging claw KDb1, the engaging claw KDb is operated in addition to operating the locking device KD (key operation of the cylinder lock KDa). It is also possible by doing. That is, as described above, the first sub-member to which the engaging claw KDb is attached is configured to be displaceable independently of the main member which is displaced in conjunction with the key operation, so that the key operation is not performed. In addition, for example, the second engaging claw KDb1 can also be used by an operator manually directly operating the first auxiliary member (engagement claw KDb) from the back side of the gaming machine main portion 20 (operation of a predetermined operation portion). The holding (engagement) of the shaft-supported member 35 on the main portion side can be released.

Further, as shown in FIG. 25, the shaft-supported member 35 on the main portion side is formed with an upright notch 37a formed by cutting out a part of the upright plate 37, and this upright notch 37a is formed. The second engaging claw KDb1 engages with the outer surface side of the vertical wall portion (the portion erected from the main body plate 36) left in the forming portion of 37a.

Here, in the configuration in which the second engaging claw KDb1 is engaged with the outer surface side of the erection plate 37 without providing the erection notch 37a, the R-shaped curved portion of the erection plate 37 (from the main body plate 36). It becomes necessary to engage the second engaging claw KDb1 with the connecting portion between the vertical wall portion to be erected and the portion folded back from the erected tip of the vertical wall portion), and the engagement becomes unstable. .. On the other hand, as described above, the second engaging claw KDb1 is engaged with the outer surface side of the vertical wall portion (the portion erected from the main body plate 36) left in the forming portion of the vertical cutout portion 37a. With the configuration, the engagement between the flat surfaces can be stabilized (reliable).

Next, a second embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 26 and 27. In the first embodiment, the case where the edge portion of the main body plate 36 opposite to the upright plate 37 of the main portion side shaft support member 35 is formed in a flat surface shape has been described, but the second embodiment has been described. The second erection plate 237a is erected on the edge of the main body plate 36 opposite to the erection plate 37 in the main portion side shaft support member 35 in the above. The same parts as those in the first embodiment described above are designated by the same reference numerals, and the description thereof will be omitted.

26 (a) is a top view of the main portion side shaft support member 235 in the second embodiment, and FIG. 26 (b) is a main portion side shaft in the direction of arrow XXVIb of FIG. 26 (a). It is a front view of the support member 235. Further, FIG. 27 is a cross-sectional view of the main portion side shaft-supported member 235 in the line XXVII-XXVII of FIG. 26 (b).

As shown in FIGS. 26 and 27, the main shaft-supported member 235 in the second embodiment has an edge of the main body plate 36 along the longitudinal direction (left-right direction of FIG. 26 (a)) of the main body plate 36. A second erection plate 237a erected from a portion (an edge portion opposite to the edge portion on which the erection plate 37 is formed, the lower side in FIG. 26A) is provided.

The second erection plate 237a is erected in the same direction as the erection plate 37. That is, in a state where the shaft-supported member 235 on the main portion side is connected (engaged) to the engaging member 16 on the outer frame side (see FIG. 22), the second upright plate 237a is erected from the main body plate 36. The direction can be matched with the direction in which the tip portion of the protruding member 76 is projected onto the upper surface of the main body plate 36. Therefore, in a state where the gaming machine main portion 20 is assembled to the outer frame 10 (see FIG. 1), a second erection is performed to access the tip portion of the protruding member 76 from the front side of the gaming machine main portion 20. It can be made difficult by the plate 237a.

In a state where a step is provided on the bottom surface of the resin base 31 of the inner frame 30 and the main portion side shaft support member 235 is closed to the inner frame 30, the step surface (high bottom surface and low bottom surface) of the bottom surface of the resin base 31 The outer surface (left side surface of FIG. 27) of the second standing plate 237a may be formed so as to face each other on the surface connecting the spaces. As a result, it is possible to make it more difficult to access the tip portion of the projecting member 76 from the front surface side of the gaming machine main portion 20.

Next, a third embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 28 and 29. In the first embodiment, the case where the tip portion of the projecting member 76 is exposed when the main portion side shaft support member 35 is connected to the outer frame side engaging member 16 has been described (see FIG. 22). The main portion side shaft support member 335 in the third embodiment is formed so as to be able to cover the tip portion of the protruding member 76 when connected to the outer frame side engaging member 16. The same parts as those in the first embodiment described above are designated by the same reference numerals, and the description thereof will be omitted.

FIG. 28 is a perspective view of the main portion side axial support member 335 according to the third embodiment, and FIG. 29 is a perspective view of the outer frame side engaging member 16 and the main portion side axial support member 335. In FIG. 28, a part of the shaft-supported member 335 on the main portion side is partially viewed in cross section. FIG. 29 shows a state in which the regulation plate 78 is pushed in and the connection operation is completed. Further, in FIG. 29, the side surface of the case body 71R, which is a mating surface with the case body 71L, is shown with hatching.

As shown in FIG. 28, the main portion side shaft support member 335 in the third embodiment receives a plurality of places (five places in the present embodiment, the same places as the receiving holes 36a in the first embodiment). The recess 336a is recessed. The receiving recess 336a is a recess having an opening on the bottom surface side (lower side in FIG. 28) for receiving the tip end portion of the projecting member 76 of the outer frame side engaging member 16 (engaging device 70). That is, the receiving recess 336a is a container-shaped recess formed by drawing the punch from the bottom surface side of the main body 36.

The inner diameter of the opening of the receiving recess 336a is slightly larger than the outer diameter of the main body portion 76a (large diameter portion) of the protruding member 76, and the recessing depth of the receiving recess 336a is the rear end upper surface 78c of the regulating plate 78. In a state where the overhanging portion 76b of the projecting member 76 is supported by the above, the depth at which the tip end portion of the projecting member 76 can be received (that is, the tip portion 76a1 of the projecting member 76 and the inner peripheral surface 336a1 of the receiving recess 336a). It is set to the depth at which a slight gap is formed between them.

As shown in FIG. 29, a state in which the overhanging portion 76b of the projecting member 76 is supported by the rear end upper surface 78c of the regulation plate 78 (that is, the main portion side shaft support member 335 and the outer frame side engaging member 16 are In the connected (engaged) state), the tip portion of the projecting member 76 can be covered (covered) by the receiving recess 336a. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the protruding member 76 from being operated (moved in the immersion direction) by a player or the like and illegally breaking the connection between the outer frame side engaging member 16 and the main portion side shafted support member 335. ..

Next, a fourth embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 30 to 36. In the first embodiment, of the two shafts that rotatably support the game machine main portion 20 with respect to the outer frame 10, the shaft located on the upper side (connecting shaft portion 15d) is on the outer frame 10 side. Although the case of being arranged has been described, the upper shaft (second support shaft 434) of the two shafts in the fourth embodiment is arranged on the gaming machine main portion 420 side. The same parts as those in the first embodiment described above are designated by the same reference numerals, and the description thereof will be omitted.

FIG. 30 is an exploded perspective view of the pachinko machine 401 showing a state in which the pachinko machine 401 according to the fourth embodiment is disassembled into an outer frame 410 and a game machine main portion 420. FIG. 31 is a perspective view of the inner frame 430 and the outer frame 410, and shows a state in which the component A4 of the inner frame 430 is opened with respect to the inner frame 430. FIG. 32 is a perspective view of the outer frame 410 and the component A4 of the inner frame 430. FIG. 33 (a) is a perspective view of the outer frame 410 in a state where the component A4 of the inner frame 430 is connected, and FIG. 33 (b) is an outside in a state where the component A4 of the inner frame 430 is removed. It is a perspective view of a frame 410.

In the fourth embodiment, when the gaming machine main portion 420 is designed as a new model, not only the support shaft 34 that rotatably supports the main portion side shaft support member 35 to the gaming machine main portion 420, but also the support shaft 34. The second support shaft 434 that rotatably supports the second shaft-supported member 435 on the main portion side to the gaming machine main portion 420 also has a relationship with the outer frame 410 (that is, the outer frame 410 as an old model). There is no need to consider it, and the degree of freedom in its design can be increased. That is, in the present embodiment, in addition to the main portion side shaft support member 35, the main portion side second shaft support member 435 is also connected to the outer frame side second engagement member 16 on the outer frame 410 side ( It suffices if the structure is such that it can be engaged), and it is not necessary to design the second support shaft 434 in relation to the outer frame 410 (the second engagement member 416 on the outer frame side) like the support shaft 34. , The degree of freedom in design can be secured. Therefore, even in the vicinity of the support shaft 434, for example, the design of the front door 40 can be improved.

As shown in FIGS. 30 to 33, the outer frame 410 has four plate members (upper and lower frame bodies 411 and lower frame bodies 12 located above and below, and left and right left and right connecting them, as in the first embodiment. By connecting the frame body 413 and the right frame body 14) to the four sides, it is formed into a rectangular frame shape in front view.

The upper frame body 411 has the upper frame body 11 in the first embodiment in that an outer frame side passage 411c for receiving the engaging piece 436 is formed at an end portion on the side to which the left frame body 413 is connected. However, the other configurations are the same. Further, the left frame body 413 is different in that the width dimension (dimension in the direction perpendicular to the frame surface) is smaller than that of the left frame body 13 in the first embodiment because the vertical members SM are arranged side by side. , Other configurations are the same as the left frame body 13.

The outer frame 410 has an outer frame side second engaging member 416 arranged at a connecting portion between the upper frame body 411 and the left frame body 413 and an outer frame side engaging member arranged on the upper surface of the lower frame body 12. A member 16 is provided. The outer frame side second engaging member 416 is a member formed by bending a plate-shaped body made of a metal material into a predetermined shape, and is formed on the upper surface side (mounting surface 411c) of the upper frame body 411 and the outer side of the left frame body 413. It is fastened and fixed to the side surface with a fastening screw.

Similar to the first embodiment, the inner frame 430 is mainly composed of a resin base 31 having a substantially rectangular shape in front view, and is located on the rotation base end side (the side connected to the outer frame 410) of the resin base 31. A main portion side connecting member 32 is arranged at the upper end portion (upper side), and a support metal fitting 33 (see FIGS. 4 and 5) is arranged at the lower end portion (lower side).

In the fourth embodiment, the main portion side second shafted support member 435 is rotatably supported by the main portion side connecting member 32 via the second support shaft 434. An engaging piece 436 is fastened and fixed to the second supported shaft member 435 on the main portion side by a fastening screw, and the engaging piece 436 is directed outward from the end opposite to the second support shaft 434. Is thrust. Similar to the first embodiment, the main portion side shaft support member 35 is rotatably supported by the support metal fitting 33 via the support shaft 34.

The main portion side shaft support member 35 and the main portion side second shaft support member 435 form a part of a mechanism (connecting structure) for connecting the outer frame 410 and the gaming machine main portion 420 so as to be openable and closable. It is a member. That is, the main portion side shaft support member 35 is connected to the outer frame side engaging member 16 of the outer frame 410 as in the first embodiment, while in the fourth embodiment, the main portion side second member. The shaft support member 435 (engagement piece 436) is connected to the outer frame side second engagement member 416 of the outer frame 410. The detailed configuration of this connected structure will be described later.

A vertical member SM is arranged between the main portion side shaft-supported member 35 and the main portion-side second shaft-supported member 435. The vertical member SM is a plate-shaped body formed from a metal extruded material in an L-shaped cross section, and its lower end side (lower side in FIG. 32) is the base end portion (rotation center) of the main portion side shafted support member 35. The upper end side (upper side of FIG. 32) is fastened and fixed to the inner side surface of the second shafted support member 435 on the main portion side by the fastening screw while being fastened and fixed to the outer surface of the side).

As described above, since the main part side shafted support member 35 and the main part side second shafted support member 435 are connected by the vertical member SM, the main part side shafted support member 35 and the main part side second covered member 35 are connected. When either one of the shaft support members 435 is rotated with respect to the gaming machine main portion 420 (inner frame 430), the other can be rotated in conjunction with the rotation of one of them. That is, the rotation positions of both the main portion side shafted support member 35 and the main portion side second shafted support member 435 can always be maintained in the same phase. Therefore, when the main portion side shafted support member 35 is connected to the outer frame side engaging member 16 and the main portion side second shafted support member 435 is connected to the outer frame side second engaging member 416, these are used. Since it is not necessary to adjust the phases of both members 35 and 435 individually, it is possible to improve the workability of the connecting work.

Next, with reference to FIGS. 34 to 36, a connecting structure for connecting the outer frame 410 and the gaming machine main portion 420 so as to be openable and closable will be described. First, with reference to FIG. 34, the detailed configuration of the outer frame side second engaging member 416 and the main portion side second shafted support member 435 will be described.

34 (a) is a perspective view of the outer frame 410, and corresponds to the state of FIG. 33 (b) (the state in which the component A4 of the inner frame 430 is removed). 34 (b) is a cross-sectional view of the outer frame 410 in the line XXXIVb-XXXIVb of FIG. 34 (a), and FIG. 34 (c) is a perspective view of the engaging piece 436.

As shown in FIG. 34, the outer frame side second engaging member 416 is substantially perpendicular to the plate-shaped upper surface plate 416a arranged on the upper surface of the upper frame body 411 and the upper surface plate 416a, and the left frame body 413. Mainly includes a plate-shaped side plate 416b arranged on the outer surface of the above. The upper surface plate 416a is fastened and fixed to the upper frame body 411, and the side plate 416b is fastened and fixed to the left frame body 413 by fastening screws. Further, the front-rear direction dimension (FIG. 34 (b) left-right direction dimension) of the top plate 416a and the side surface plate 416b is set to be about ½ of the front-rear direction dimension (FIG. 34 (b) left-right direction dimension) of the upper frame body 411. NS.

The upper surface plate 416a of the outer frame side second engaging member 416 has an insertion portion 416c recessed in the lower surface thereof (the surface abutting on the mounting surface 411c of the upper frame body 411). The insertion portion 416c is a portion where the engagement piece 436 of the second shafted support member 435 on the main portion side is inserted and the inserted engagement piece 436 is detachably connected (see FIG. 35). It has a width slightly larger than the width of the unit 436 and is formed in a groove shape having a U-shaped cross section with the lower surface side open.

Here, the insertion portion 416c is extended along a direction perpendicular to the frame surface of the outer frame 410 (the left-right direction in FIG. 34 (b), that is, the insertion direction of the engaging piece 436). That is, the linear direction (that is, the insertion direction of the engaging piece 436) when connecting the second shafted support member 435 on the main portion side to the second engaging member 416 on the outer frame side is the shafted support member 35 on the main portion side. Is parallel to the linear direction when the outer frame side connecting member 16 is connected, so that these can be connected only by the operation of moving the game machine main portion 420 in the linear direction with respect to the outer frame 410. Therefore, even when the main part side second shafted support member 435 and the outer frame side second engaging member 416 are further provided in addition to the main part side shafted support member 35 and the outer frame side connecting member 16, the game It is possible to improve workability when assembling the machine main portion 420 to the outer frame 410. The extending direction of the outer frame side passage 411d, which will be described later, is also parallel to the insertion portion 416c. Therefore, workability can be improved from this point as well.

The starting end of the insertion portion 416c is opened on one side of the upper surface plate 416a (the side facing the side surface of the main portion side second shafted support member 435 and on the right side in FIG. 34 (b)), and is opened from this opening. The engagement piece 436 is inserted. The end of the insertion portion 416c does not reach the side surface of the other side of the upper surface plate 416a (the back side in the insertion direction of the engaging piece 436 and the left side in FIG. 34 (b)), and the lower surface of the upper surface plate 416a is the upper frame. It is in close contact with the mounting surface 411c of the body 411. Thereby, the engaging piece 436 can be shielded from the outside.

The cross-sectional shape of the insertion portion 416c shown in FIG. 34 (b) is formed to be substantially the same as the outer shape of the engaging piece 436 (see FIG. 35 (b)). That is, the ceiling surface (upper surface of FIG. 34 (b)) of the insertion portion 416c is partially raised on the terminal side (left side of FIG. 34 (b)), and the locking surface 416c1 is provided at the boundary portion having different heights. It is formed. The locking surface 416c is formed as a flat surface perpendicular to the insertion direction of the engaging piece 436 (direction perpendicular to the frame surface, left-right direction in FIG. 34B). Therefore, when the engaging piece 436 is inserted into the insertion portion 416c, the folded-back tip of the engaging piece 436 in the folded-back portion 436c is locked to the locking surface 416c1, whereby the outer frame side second engaging member 416 is engaged. The second shafted support member 435 (engagement piece 436) on the main portion side is connected.

The upper surface of the outer frame 411 is on the upper surface when the height position of the mounting surface 411c is one step lower than the other surfaces and the upper surface plate 416a of the outer frame side second engaging member 416 is attached to the mounting surface 411c. The upper surface of the face plate 416a is slightly lower than the upper surface of the outer frame 411 (the surface other than the mounting surface 411c).

An outer frame side passage 411d is formed on the mounting surface 411c at a position facing the insertion portion 416c of the outer frame side second engaging member 416. The outer frame side passage 411d is a passage through which the engaging piece 436 passes when the engaging piece 436 of the second shafted support member 435 on the main portion side is inserted into the insertion portion 416c of the second engaging member 416 on the outer frame side. It is a part for forming a space (see FIG. 36) for the engaging piece 436 inserted into the insertion portion 416c to swing (see FIG. 36) while forming (see FIG. 35 (a)), and is wider than the width of the engaging piece 436. Also has a slightly larger width (that is, a width equivalent to the insertion portion 416c) and is along the direction perpendicular to the frame surface of the outer frame 410 (the left-right direction in FIG. 34 (b), that is, the same direction as the insertion portion 416c). It is formed in the shape of a groove having a U-shaped cross section that is extended.

The starting end of the outer frame side passage 411d is opened on one side of the mounting surface 411c (front side of the outer frame 410, right side in FIG. 34 (b)), and the engaging piece 436 can be inserted through this opening. Therefore, in the work of connecting the main portion side second shafted support member 435 to the outer frame side second engaging member 416, in the initial stage (the stage of arranging the engaging piece 436 in the outer frame side passage 411d). Workability is improved.

The end of the outer frame side passage 411d does not reach the side surface of the other side of the upper frame body 411 (the back side of the outer frame 410, the left side of FIG. 34 (b)), and as described above, the lower surface of the upper surface plate 416a It is in close contact with the mounting surface 411c of the upper frame body 411. Thereby, the engaging piece 436 can be shielded from the outside.

The upper surface side (upper side of FIG. 34 (b)) of the outer frame side passage 411d is opened over the entire area, and the lower surface side (lower side of FIG. 34 (b)) is the insertion portion of the outer frame side second engaging member 416. Only the portion corresponding to 416c (the back side in the insertion direction of the engaging piece 436 and the left side in FIG. 34 (b)) is partially opened.

It should be noted that the remaining portion of the portion formed by opening the lower surface side of the outer frame side passage 411d (the front side in the insertion direction of the engaging piece 436 and the right side in FIG. 34 (b)) is directed toward the open portion. It is formed with a downward slope. Therefore, due to the space formed by this downward inclination, the engaging piece 436 (thin plate portion) swings downward when inserted into the insertion portion 416c (that is, when further inserted from the position shown in FIG. 35 (a)). 436b) can be accepted, and as a result, it is possible to prevent the folding angle from becoming smaller (that is, the locking ability with respect to the locking surface 416c1) due to the plastic deformation of the folded portion 436c.

The second shaft-supported member 435 on the main portion side extends horizontally from the upper surface plate 435a to which the engaging piece 436 is fastened and fixed to the bottom surface side, the side plate 435b substantially perpendicular to the upper surface plate 435a, and the upper surface plate 435a. It is provided with an extension plate 435c to which a second support shaft 434 is provided and fixed to the extension tip in a state of being projected from the bottom surface.

The width dimension of the upper surface plate 435a is the same as the width dimension of the upper surface plate 416a of the outer frame side second engaging member 416 (that is, the width dimension of the mounting surface 411c of the upper frame body 411). Further, the side plate 435b is fastened and fixed to the outer surface at the upper end (upper side of FIG. 34A) of the vertical member SM by a fastening screw.

The engaging piece 436 includes a base piece 436a, a thin plate portion 436b extending from the base piece 436a, and a folded-back portion 436c formed by folding back one side (opposite side of the base piece 436a) of the thin plate portion 436b. 436a to 436c of each of these parts are integrally formed from a metal material.

The base portion 436a is provided with a fastening hole in which a female screw is threaded on the inner peripheral surface in the central portion, and the fastening screw is screwed into the fastening hole to form a second shafted support member 435 on the main portion side. The engaging piece 436 (base 436a) is fastened and fixed to the bottom surface of the top plate 435a. The plate thickness dimension of the portion where the base portion 436a and the upper surface plate 435a of the main portion side second shaft support member 435 are overlapped is equivalent to the plate thickness dimension of the upper surface plate 416a of the outer frame side second engaging member 416. Will be done.

The thin plate portion 436b has a smaller plate thickness than the base portion 436a, and its bottom surface is formed flush with the bottom surface of the base portion 436a. That is, the engaging piece 436 has a step between the upper surface of the thin plate portion 436b and the upper surface of the base portion 436a, and the upper surface of the thin plate portion 436b is lowered with respect to the upper surface of the base portion 436a.

By increasing the plate thickness dimension of the base portion 436a in this way, the screwing strength can be secured and the engaging piece 436 can be firmly fastened and fixed to the upper surface plate 435a. On the other hand, in a state where the engaging piece 436 is inserted into the insertion portion 416c, a space (gap) can be formed between the upper surface of the thin plate portion 436b and the facing surface of the ceiling surface of the insertion portion 416c (FIG. 35 (FIG. 35). b)), the operation (swinging and disconnection) on the engaging piece 436 can be easily performed.

Further, the thin plate portion 436b has an opening 436b1 opened at a position biased toward the base portion 436a from the center in the longitudinal direction thereof, and the side edges on both sides of the opening 436b1 are directed toward the opening 436b1. A dent is formed. Also with these, it is possible to easily perform an operation (swing or disconnection) on the engaging piece 436.

The folded-back portion 436c is formed by folding back one side of the thin plate portion 436b to the upper surface side (upper side in FIG. 34 (c)), and the height position of the folded-back tip is made higher than the upper surface of the base portion 436a. When the engaging piece 436 is inserted into the insertion portion 416c, the folded tip of the folded portion 436c is locked to the locking surface 416c1 of the inserting portion 416c, so that the engaging piece 436 is in the opposite direction of insertion (FIG. 34). Movement to (b) to the right) is restricted (see FIG. 35 (b)).

Next, with reference to FIGS. 35 and 36, the outer frame side second engaging member 416 disposed on the outer frame 410 and the main portion side second shafted support member 435 disposed on the inner frame 30. The connection operation between them and the release operation for releasing the connection will be described.

35 (a) and 35 (c) are perspective sectional views of the connecting structure portion, and FIGS. 35 (b) and 35 (d) are side sectional views of the connecting structure portion. Note that FIGS. 35 (a) and 35 (b) correspond to the start of the connection operation, and FIGS. 35 (c) and 35 (d) correspond to the end of the connection operation.

As shown in FIGS. 35 (a) and 35 (b), the connecting operation is started, and the second shaft-supported member 435 on the main portion side is directed toward the second engaging member 416 on the outer frame side on the mounting surface 411c. By being pushed in (moved forward), the folded-back portion 436c of the engaging piece 436 is brought into contact with the insertion start end side opening of the insertion portion 416c. That is, the engaging piece 436 is moved (guided) by the outer frame side passage 411d, so that the engaging piece 436 can be positioned with respect to the insertion portion 416c.

When the second shaft-supported member 435 on the main portion side is further pushed (moved forward) toward the second engaging member 416 on the outer frame side from this positioned state, the insertion start end side of the outer frame side passage 416c The inclined surface of the folded-back portion 436c is pushed downward (lower side in FIG. 35 (b)) by the opening, and the engaging piece 436 (thin plate portion 436b) is elastically swung (deformed) downward, and the insertion portion 416c. It is inserted inside. After that, when the folded tip of the folded portion 436c reaches the locking surface 416c1, the engaging piece 436 (thin plate portion 436b) is swung (deformed) upward by the elastic recovery force. As a result, as shown in FIGS. 35 (c) and 35 (d), the folded end of the folded portion 436c is locked to the locking surface 416c1.

Since the engaging piece 436 has an opening 436b1 and a recess formed in the thin plate portion 436b to be easily deformed, the engaging piece 436 is deformed into the thin plate portion 436b in the process of inserting the engaging piece 436 into the insertion portion 416c (lower side). (Elastic swing) can be concentrated, and plastic deformation of the folded-back portion 436c itself and the connecting portion between the folded-back portion 436c and the thin plate portion 436b can be suppressed. Therefore, it is possible to suppress the folding angle of the folded portion 436c with respect to the thin plate portion 436b from being reduced, and to reliably lock the folded tip of the folded portion 436c to the locking surface 416c1, and as a result, the locking ability is increased. Can be secured.

The shape of the portion of the insertion portion 416c of the outer frame side second engaging member 416 that receives the folded portion 436c of the engaging piece 436 is the same as the shape of the folded portion 436c (that is, the width dimension (paper surface of FIG. 35 (d)). The outer surface of the folded-back portion 436c and the connecting portion of the folded-back portion 436c and the thin plate portion 436b is set to have substantially the same vertical dimension (vertical dimension) and front-rear direction dimension (horizontal dimension in FIG. 35 (d)) and substantially the same inclination angle). Is a structure that is almost in close contact (face-to-face arrangement) with the inner surface of the insertion portion 416c, so even if the engaging piece 436 is forcibly pulled out in the anti-insertion direction, the space for the folded portion 436c to be deformed (escape) is reduced. , It is possible to suppress the release of the locked state.

Here, on the upper surface of the outer frame side engaging member 16 (upper surface plate 81 of the outer wall forming member 80), as described above, the main portion side shaft-supported member 35 (main portion-side shaft-supported member 35 is interposed). A region for temporarily placing the main portion 20) of the gaming machine is formed (see FIG. 12), but in a state where the shaft-supported member 35 on the main portion side is placed in such a region, the second engagement on the outer frame side is performed. A state in which the member 416 and the second shafted support member 435 on the main portion side are not connected, and at least the engaging piece 436 does not reach the insertion side opening (right side in FIG. 35B) of the insertion portion 416c. Will be done.

Therefore, when assembling the gaming machine main portion 420 to the outer frame 410, first, the tip end side (standing plate 37 side) of the main portion side shafted support portion 35 of the gaming machine main portion 420 is attached to the outer frame side engaging member. It is placed (temporarily placed) on the above-mentioned area on the upper surface of 16 and then the main portion 420 of the gaming machine is pushed in to move (slide) the shaft-mounted support portion 35 on the main portion side along the upper surface of the outer frame side engaging member 16. As a result, while the protruding member 76 of the outer frame side engaging member 16 is inserted (accepted) into the receiving hole 36a of the main portion side shafted support member 35 (see FIGS. 20 to 24), the outer frame side second engaging member is engaged. The member 416 and the second shafted support member 435 on the main portion side can be connected (the folded-back portion 436c of the engaging piece 436 is locked to the locking surface 416c1 of the insertion portion 416c).

That is, the operator performs the work when connecting the second engaging member 416 on the outer frame side and the second shafted support member 435 on the main portion side and accepting the projecting member 76 into the receiving hole 36a. It is not necessary to support the weight of the gaming machine main portion 420, and after the gaming machine main portion 420 is temporarily placed on the outer frame side engaging member 16, it is only necessary to push it in the horizontal direction. Therefore, it is possible to improve the workability of the work of assembling the gaming machine main portion 420 to the outer frame 410.

In the state where the main portion side shaft support member 35 is placed in the area for temporary placement, the engaging piece 436 reaches the front side opening (right side of FIG. 35B) of the outer frame side passage 411d. It may be absent. When the gaming machine main portion 420 is temporarily placed on the outer frame side engaging member 16, it is not necessary to arrange the engaging piece 436 in the outer frame side passage 411d, so that the workability is further improved accordingly. be able to.

FIG. 36 (a) is a perspective sectional view of the connected structure portion, and FIG. 36 (b) is a side sectional view of the connected structure portion. Note that FIGS. 36 (a) and 36 (b) correspond to the execution of the release operation for releasing the connection.

As shown in FIGS. 36 (a) and 36 (b), when the connection between the engaging piece 436 and the insertion portion 416c is released, the gaming machine main portion 420 is opened with respect to the outer frame 410. This can be done by operating the engaging piece 436 using the jig J from the space inside the frame of the outer frame 410 (that is, the lower surface side of the upper frame body 411). That is, the jig J has a hook-shaped hook portion formed at the tip of the rod-shaped body, and the hook portion is inserted into the opening portion 436b1 of the engaging piece 436, and the thin plate portion 436b is pulled downward to be engaged. The thin plate portion 436b is elastically rocked (deformed). As a result, the folded tip of the folded portion 436c can be moved downward from the locking surface 416c1 of the insertion portion 416c, and the locked state between the two can be released.

As described above, in the fourth embodiment, the engaging piece 436 of the second shafted support member 435 on the main portion side is inserted into the insertion portion 416c of the second engaging member 416 on the outer frame side from one side thereof. The folded tip of the engaged piece 436 at the folded portion 436c is locked to the locking surface 416c1 of the insertion portion 416c, and the outer frame side second engaging member 416 and the main portion side second shafted support member 435 are connected. Since it is a structure and both can be connected only by moving in one direction, it is possible to improve the workability of the work of assembling the game machine main portion 420 to the outer frame 410. In this case, since the engaging piece 436 is made of a plate-shaped body and has a simple structure in which a part thereof is folded back to form the folded-back portion 436c, it is possible to reduce the cost of parts.

Further, in a state where the second shafted support member 435 on the main portion side and the second engaging member 416 on the outer frame side are connected, the engaging piece 436 is outside the outer frame 410 by the second engaging member 416 on the outer frame side. Since it is shielded from (upper surface side and back surface side) (see FIG. 35 (d)), it can be difficult for the engaging piece 436 to be operated from the outside. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the connection between the second shafted support member 435 on the main portion side and the second engaging member 416 on the outer frame side from being illegally released.

On the other hand, in the engaging piece 436, at least the thin plate portion 436b is exposed inside the outer frame 410 (lower surface side of the upper frame body 411, lower side in FIG. 35 (d)), so that the gaming machine is exposed to the outer frame 410. In the state where the main portion 420 is open, by operating the exposed portion of the engaging piece 436 (opening 436b1 of the thin plate portion 436b), the folded portion of the engaging piece 436 by the locking surface 416c1 of the insertion portion 416c. The locking of the folded-back tip in 436c can be released to release the connection between the second shaft-supported member 435 on the main portion side and the second engaging member 416 on the outer frame side.

In the state where the gaming machine main portion 420 is closed with respect to the outer frame 410, parts (not shown) arranged in the gaming machine main portion 420 are arranged in the frame of the outer frame 410 (on the lower surface side of the upper frame body 411). Since such a component faces the portion (thin plate portion 436b) of the engaging piece 436 exposed inside the outer frame 410 (lower surface side of the upper frame body 411), the engaging piece 436 is operated. Can be difficult.

Next, a fifth embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 37 to 40. In the first embodiment, the engaging claw KDb of the locking device KD is arranged on the main portion 20 of the gaming machine, and the claw receiving member 17 with which the engaging claw KDb is engaged is arranged on the outer frame 10. Although the case has been described, the claw receiving member 17 in the fifth embodiment is arranged on the game machine main portion 520 (component A5 of the inner frame 530). The same parts as those of the above-described embodiments are designated by the same reference numerals, and the description thereof will be omitted.

FIG. 37 is an exploded perspective view of the pachinko machine 501 showing a state in which the pachinko machine 501 according to the fifth embodiment is disassembled into an outer frame 510 and a game machine main portion 520. FIG. 38 is a perspective view of the outer frame 510 and the inner frame 530, and shows a state in which the component A5 of the inner frame 530 is opened with respect to the inner frame 530. FIG. 39 is a perspective view of the outer frame 510 and the component A5 of the inner frame 530. FIG. 40 is a perspective view of the outer frame 510 in a state where the components A5 of the inner frame 530 are connected.

In the fifth embodiment, similarly to the fourth embodiment, the support shaft 34 and the second support shaft 434 are arranged on the component A5 of the inner frame 530, and the inner frame 530 ( The game machine main part 520) is detachably connected to the outer frame 510. Therefore, when designing the gaming machine main unit 520 as a new model, the degree of freedom in designing the support shaft 34 and the second support shaft 434 can be increased, and the degree of freedom in design can be increased by that amount in the vicinity of both support shafts 34 and 434. The design of the front door 40 can be improved.

Further, in the fifth embodiment, the locking device KD (claw receiving member 17) is also arranged on the component A5. Therefore, when designing the gaming machine main unit 520 as a new model while diverting the outer frame 510 left in the island equipment, it is not necessary to consider the relationship between the locking device KD and the outer frame 510. Therefore, it is possible to increase the degree of freedom in the design and develop a more secure locking device KD.

As shown in FIGS. 37 to 40, the outer frame 510 has four plate members (upper frame bodies 511 and lower frame bodies 12 located above and below, and them, as in the first embodiment and the fourth embodiment. By connecting the left and right left frame bodies 413 and the right frame body 514) to be connected to the four sides, a rectangular frame shape in front view is formed.

In the upper frame body 411, a slit groove 511e is formed on one side of the mounting surface 411c (the side opposite to the side to which the left frame body 413 is connected), and the arrangement of the sealing plate 11b is omitted (horizontal frame body). It differs from the upper frame body 411 in the fourth embodiment in that it is replaced with 538), but other configurations are the same as the upper frame body 411.

The slit groove 511e is a slit-shaped groove in which the upper surface side and the lower surface side of the upper frame body 511 are open, and the gaming machine main portion 520 (component A5 of the inner frame 530) is closed with respect to the outer frame 510. Then (see FIG. 40), the connecting plate 535d of the second shaft-bearing support member 535 on the main portion side is housed in the slit groove 511e.

The thickness dimension (dimension in the direction connecting the right frame body 413 and the left frame body 514) of the right frame body 514 is smaller than that of the right frame body 14 in the first embodiment because the vertical frame bodies 537 are arranged side by side. The other configuration is the same as that of the right frame body 14, except that the claw receiving member 17 is not arranged.

Similar to the first embodiment and the fourth embodiment, the inner frame 530 is mainly composed of the resin base 31 having a substantially rectangular shape in front view, and is connected to the rotation base end side (connected to the outer frame 510) of the resin base 31. The main portion side connecting member 32 is arranged at the upper end portion (upper side), and the support metal fitting 33 (see FIGS. 4 and 5) is arranged at the lower end portion (lower side). The main portion side second shafted support member 535 is rotatably supported by the portion side connecting member 32 via the second support shaft 434.

The component A5 of the inner frame 530 is a vertical frame body 537 with respect to the component A4 (main part side shafted support member 35, main part side second shafted support member 435 and vertical member SM) in the fourth embodiment. And a horizontal frame body 538 is further provided, and each of these members forms a frame shape having a rectangular front view. In a state where the gaming machine main portion 520 is connected to the outer frame 510, the component A5 is arranged in the frame of the outer frame 510 (see FIG. 40).

The second shaft-supported member 535 on the main portion side differs in that the connecting plate 535d is arranged on the edge of one side (opposite to the side plate 435b) of the upper surface plate 435a, but the other configuration is on the main portion side. It is the same as the second shafted support member 435.

The connecting plate 535d is connected to a plate-shaped portion whose upper end is connected to the upper surface plate 435a and substantially perpendicular to the upper surface plate 435a (that is, parallel to the side plate 435b) and to the lower end of the plate-shaped portion. At the same time, it is formed in an L-shaped cross section from a plate-shaped portion substantially parallel to the upper surface plate 435a. In the connecting plate 535d, the horizontal frame body 538 is connected to a portion substantially parallel to the upper surface plate 435a, and the portion substantially perpendicular to the upper surface plate 435a is slit in a state where the gaming machine main portion 520 is closed with respect to the outer frame 510. It is housed in the groove 511e.

The vertical frame body 537 and the horizontal frame body 538 are members that form a rectangular frame-like body in front view together with the main part side shaft support member 35, the main part side second shaft support member 535, and the vertical member SM, and are made of metal. It is formed from a material into a flat plate shape. The vertical frame body 537 forms a side facing the vertical member SM in the frame shape by connecting between the main portion side shafted support member 35 and the horizontal frame body 538, and the horizontal frame body 538 has a main portion. By connecting between the side second shafted support member 535 and the vertical frame body 537, a side facing the main portion side shafted support member 35 in the frame shape is formed.

In the locking device KD, the engaging claw KDb (locking moving member) is arranged on the inner frame 530, and the claw receiving member 17 (locking base member) is formed on the vertical frame body 538 (main part side shaft support member, configuration). Since it is arranged in the element A5), when the locking device KD is locked, the component A5 (main portion side shaft support member) can be made non-rotatable with respect to the gaming machine main portion 520. At the same time, when the locking device KD is in the unlocked state, the component A5 (main portion side shaft support member) can be made rotatable with respect to the gaming machine main portion 520.

That is, the component A5 (main portion side shaft support member, main portion side second shaft support member) is connected to the outer frame side engagement member 16 (and outer frame side second engagement member 416), and the gaming machine In the state where the main part 520 is assembled to the outer frame 510, the gaming machine main part 520 can be made unopenable (locked) with respect to the outer frame 510 by locking the locking device KD. By setting the locking device KD in the unlocked state, the gaming machine main unit 520 can be opened / closed (unlocked) with respect to the outer frame 510.

Here, even in the first to fourth embodiments (that is, a configuration in which the engaging claws KDb are arranged on the game machine main portions 20 and 420 and the claw receiving members 17 are arranged on the outer frames 10 and 410), the gaming machine is also used. The main parts 20, 420 can be locked to the outer frames 10, 410 by the locking device KD, but in this case, even when the gaming machine main parts 20, 420 are newly designed, they are engaged. The claw KDb needs to have a structure that can be locked and unlocked with respect to the claw receiving member 17 of the outer frames 10, 410 left in the hole, and therefore the locking device KD cannot be newly designed.

On the other hand, in the present embodiment, the component A5 includes the main part-side shaft-supported member 35, the main-side second shaft-supported member 535, and the like, and the component A5 includes the outer frame-side engaging member 16 and the main part-side engaging member 16. When connected to the outer frame 510 via the outer frame side second engaging member 416, the claw receiving member 17 is disposed on the component A5. Therefore, when designing the locking device KD, the engaging claw KDb and the claw Both of the receiving members 17 can be freely designed without considering the relationship with the outer frame 510.

In the fifth embodiment, when the gaming machine main portion 520 (component A5) is attached to the outer frame 510, the horizontal frame body 538 is arranged on the lower surface of the upper frame body 511 and is formed by the recess 11a. The lower surface side of the space is covered with the horizontal frame body 538. Therefore, while the handle hd can be stored in the recess 11a, the space provided by the recess 11a can be shielded from the outside to prevent fraud. Therefore, it is possible to reduce the product cost by omitting the arrangement of the sealing plate 11b (see FIGS. 1 to 5).

Next, a sixth embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 41 to 49. In the first embodiment, the connecting structure of the outer frame side engaging member 16 and the main portion side shaft support member 35 is configured so that the connected state cannot be changed, and the gaming machine main portion 20 is tilted with respect to the outer frame 10. Although the case where the state is not adjustable has been described, in the connection structure in the sixth embodiment, the connection state can be changed, and the inclination angle of the gaming machine main portion 20 with respect to the outer frame 610 can be adjusted. .. The same parts as those of the above-described embodiments are designated by the same reference numerals, and the description thereof will be omitted.

FIG. 41 is an exploded perspective view of the outer frame 610 and the component A6 of the inner frame in the sixth embodiment, and FIG. 42 is a perspective view of the outer frame 610 and the component A6 of the inner frame. The gaming machine main unit of the sixth embodiment is configured to be the same as the gaming machine main unit 520 of the fifth embodiment. Therefore, the illustration and description thereof will be omitted.

In the sixth embodiment, as in the fourth and fifth embodiments, the support shaft 34 and the second support shaft 434 are arranged on the component A6 of the inner frame 530, and the support shaft 34 and the second support shaft 434 are disposed of the inner frame 530 via the component A6. The frame (main part of the gaming machine) is detachably connected to the outer frame 610. Therefore, when designing the main part of the gaming machine as a new model, the degree of freedom in designing the support shaft 34 and the second support shaft 434 can be increased, and the front surface in the vicinity of both support shafts 34 and 434 can be increased accordingly. It is possible to improve the design of the door.

Further, in the sixth embodiment, an inclination angle adjusting mechanism for adjusting the relative inclination angle between the component A6 and the outer frame 610 is formed. Specifically, the attachment position of the configuration (pin member B), which is one element constituting the inclination angle adjusting mechanism, can be selected, and the component element with respect to the outer frame 610 is selected according to the attachment position of the pin member B. The relative tilt angle of A6 is adjusted. As a result, even when the outer frame 610 left in the island equipment is diverted to install the main part of the gaming machine, the main part of the gaming machine (game) can be selected by appropriately selecting the attachment position of the pin member B. The tilt angle of the machine 601) can be adjusted. That is, the inclination angle of the gaming machine 601 can be adjusted without removing the outer frame 610 from the island equipment.

As shown in FIGS. 41 and 42, the outer frame 610 has four plate members (upper and lower upper frame bodies 611 and lower frame bodies 12 and left and right frame bodies connecting them (inner surface vertical frame body 613 and outer surface). By connecting the frame body)) formed by superimposing the vertical frame body 614 to the four sides, it is formed into a rectangular frame shape in front view.

The upper frame body 611 is a narrow rod-shaped body, and both ends are fastened and fixed to the inner surface vertical frame body 613 and the outer surface vertical frame body 614 via a connecting member 612. In the assembled state of the outer frame 610, as shown in FIG. 42, the upper frame body 611 is located on the back surface side of the outer frame 610, and a space is formed on the front surface side of the upper frame body 611. Therefore, the horizontal frame body 638 and the sealing plate 639 of the component A6 can be arranged by utilizing this space (see FIG. 49).

Each of the left and right frame bodies is formed by superimposing two pieces of the inner surface vertical frame body 613 and the outer surface vertical frame body 614. Since the left frame and the right frame are mirror images, they will be described with the same reference numerals. The inner surface vertical frame body 613 is formed from a metal material into a vertically long flat plate shape, and includes a plurality of (five in this embodiment) rocking pieces 615.

Here, the swing piece 615 of the inner surface vertical frame body 613 will be described with reference to FIG. 43. 43 (a) is a partially enlarged front view of the inner surface vertical frame body 613 in the direction of arrow W1 of FIG. 41, and FIG. 43 (b) is an inner surface vertical frame body in the W3-W3 line of FIG. 43 (a). It is sectional drawing of 613.

As shown in FIG. 43, the inner surface vertical frame body 613 is formed with a slit 613a having a substantially U-shape in front view (a narrow opening that penetrates the inner surface vertical frame body 613 in the plate thickness direction), and the slit 613a is formed. The portion surrounded by is referred to as a swing piece 615. Therefore, the rocking piece 615 is the plate thickness direction of the inner vertical frame body 613 (vertical to the paper surface in FIG. 43 (a)) with the base side (the start and end sides of the slit 613a and the right side in FIG. 43 (a)) as a fulcrum. It can swing in the direction).

In this way, since the portion surrounded by the slit 613a is used as the swing piece 615, when the outer shape of the inner surface vertical frame body 613 is punched by press working, the slit 613a is also punched by the same mold at the same time to shake. The moving piece 615 can be formed, and the manufacturing man-hours can be reduced. Further, when the inner surface vertical frame body 613 and the swing piece 615 can be integrally formed and these are formed separately (for example, when the swing piece 615 is fixed to the inner surface vertical frame body 613 by fastening or welding). Compared with, the number of parts can be reduced and the assembly cost can be reduced. Therefore, it is possible to reduce the product cost of the pachinko machine 601 as a whole.

A fastening hole 615a is formed through the swing piece 615 on the swing tip side (left side in FIG. 43A). A female screw is threaded on the inner peripheral surface of the fastening hole 615a, and the threaded portion B1 of the pin member B is detachably fastened and fixed to the fastening hole 615a. With the swing of the swing piece 615, the head B2 of the pin member B is moved in a direction closer to the vertical frame body 637 or in a direction away from the vertical frame body 637 (see FIG. 46).

A plurality of swinging pieces 615 are arranged in a row in a state of being inclined with respect to the longitudinal direction (vertical direction of FIG. 43A) of the inner surface vertical frame body 613 while being spaced apart from each other by a predetermined interval (equal spacing in the present embodiment). NS. That is, each swing piece 615 has a swing tip side facing the front side (left side of FIG. 43 (a)) of the outer frame 610 and a base side facing the back side of the outer frame 610 (right side of FIG. 43 (a)). While maintaining the orientation, the lower swing piece 615 is arranged at a position shifted to the front side of the outer frame 610 (see FIG. 42). Therefore, in the plurality of rocking pieces 615, the rocking piece 615 on the uppermost side (upper side in FIG. 43A) is located on the rearmost side of the outer frame 610, and the rocking piece 615 on the lowermost side is the outermost frame 610. Located on the front side.

The pin member B is interposed between the left and right frame bodies (swing piece 615) of the outer frame 610 and the vertical frame body 637 of the game machine main part (component A6), and is a member (intervention) for connecting the two. It is a body) (see FIG. 46), and includes a male threaded portion B1 to be fastened and fixed to the fastening hole 615a of the swing piece 615, and a head portion B2 formed having a diameter larger than that of the male threaded portion B1.

The head B2 is a portion to be inserted into the receiving portion 637 of the vertical frame body 637, and the base side (upper side in FIG. 43B) connected to the male thread portion B1 is formed in a columnar shape and the tip side. (Lower side of FIG. 43B) is formed in a tapered conical shape. As a result, when the main part of the gaming machine is attached to the outer frame 610, the pin member B can be easily lifted (easily retracted backward) as the vertical frame body 637 moves (see FIG. 46 (a)). It can be easily inserted into the receiving portion 637, and after being inserted, the engagement between the receiving portion 637 and the pin member B can be strengthened (see FIG. 46 (c)).

A description will be given by returning to FIGS. 41 and 42. The inner vertical frame body 613 has a folded piece 613b in which a small piece protruding upward from the upper end surface in the longitudinal direction (upper side surface in FIG. 41) is folded downward and a side surface on the back side at the lower end in the longitudinal direction (right side in FIG. 41). It is provided with a folded piece 613c in which a small piece protruding from the surface) to the back side is folded forward. By sandwiching the outer surface vertical frame body 614 between the folded pieces 613b and 614c and fastening and fixing the folded pieces 613b and 614c to the outer surface vertical frame body 614 from the outer surface side, as shown in FIG. 42, the inner surface vertical frame body 613 and the outer surface The vertical frame bodies 614 are integrated in a superposed state.

The outer surface vertical frame body 614 is formed from a wooden material into a vertically long flat plate shape, and together with the inner surface vertical frame body 613, constitutes the left and right frame bodies of the outer frame 610. On the outer surface (the surface opposite to the surface on which the inner vertical frame 613 is overlapped) at the upper end in the longitudinal direction (upper side of FIG. 41) of the outer vertical frame 614, the connecting portion of the connecting member 612 and the folded inner surface vertical frame 613 are folded back. A recess into which each piece 613b is fitted is recessed. Similarly, a recess in which the folded piece 613c of the inner surface vertical frame body 613 is fitted is contacted on the outer surface at the lower end in the longitudinal direction (lower side in FIG. 41) of the outer surface vertical frame body 614. By fitting the folded piece 613b or the like through these recesses, lateral displacement of the connecting member 612 and the inner surface vertical frame body 613 with respect to the outer surface vertical frame body 614 is prevented, and these are firmly integrated.

Here, the outer surface vertical frame body 614 will be described with reference to FIG. 44. 44 (a) is a partially enlarged front view of the outer surface vertical frame body 614 in the direction of arrow W1 of FIG. 41, and FIG. 44 (b) is an outer surface vertical frame body in the W4-W4 line of FIG. 44 (a). It is sectional drawing of 614.

As shown in FIG. 44, the outer surface vertical frame body 614 is provided with a front view rectangular concave portion 614a on the side surface to be overlapped with the inner surface vertical frame body 613 (the front side of the paper surface in FIG. 44 (a)). The recess 614a is formed as a bottomed recess and has a depth dimension that allows the maximum swing of the swing piece 615 in the retracting direction (see FIG. 46 (b)).

Further, the recess 614a is formed at a position and a size corresponding to the arrangement region of the swing piece 615 (see FIG. 47). That is, in a state where the inner surface vertical frame body 613 and the outer surface vertical frame body 614 are overlapped with each other, all the rocking pieces 615 (five in the present embodiment) are arranged in the forming region of the recess 614a.

Since the left and right frames of the outer frame 610 are formed by superimposing two plate-shaped bodies of the inner surface vertical frame body 613 and the outer surface vertical frame body 614, the rigidity thereof can be increased. In this case, the space formed by the concave portion 614a of the outer surface vertical frame body 614 allows the swinging piece 615 to swing while shielding the swinging piece 615 from the outside (see FIG. 46 (c)). It can be difficult for the rocking piece 615 to be operated from the outside. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the connection from being illegally released.

A description will be given by returning to FIGS. 41 and 42. Similar to the component A5 in the fifth embodiment, the component A6 of the inner frame in the sixth embodiment is formed in the shape of a rectangular frame in front view, and the main part of the gaming machine is connected to the outer frame 610. In the state, the component A6 is arranged in the frame of the outer frame 610 (see FIG. 49). The frame-shaped body formed by the component A6 is composed of a main portion side shaft-supported member 35, a main portion-side second shaft-supported member 435, a vertical frame body 637, and a horizontal frame body 638.

The vertical frame body 637 is a member constituting the left and right frame bodies, is formed of a vertically long flat plate shape from a metal material, and is fastened and fixed to both ends of the main portion side shaft-supported member 35 in the longitudinal direction. Since the left frame and the right frame are mirror images, they will be described with the same reference numerals.

Here, the vertical frame body 637 will be described with reference to FIG. 45. 45 (a) is a partially enlarged front view of the vertical frame body 637 in the direction of arrow W4 of FIG. 41, and FIG. 45 (b) is the vertical frame body 637 in the W5-W5 line of FIG. 45 (a). It is a sectional view.

As shown in FIG. 45, the vertical frame body 637 has a tapered inclined surface 637a formed on one side in the width direction (left-right direction in FIG. 45B). The inclined surface 637a has one side in the width direction (the component A6 is the outer frame) from the outer surface of the component A6 (that is, the surface facing the inner vertical frame body 613 with the component A4 attached to the outer frame 610). It is formed so as to be inclined downward toward the tip side in the mounting direction (insertion direction) when mounting the 610, and the right side in FIG. 45 (b). With this inclined surface 637a, the component A6 can be smoothly inserted into the frame of the outer frame 610, and the swing piece 615 of the inner surface vertical frame body 613 can be smoothly retracted backward (see FIG. 46).

The vertical frame body 637 includes a plurality of (five in this embodiment) receiving portions 637b. The receiving portion 637b is a front view oval hole formed through the vertical frame body 637 in the plate thickness direction, and its major axis direction is the vertical direction (longitudinal direction of the vertical frame body 637, vertical direction in FIG. 45 (a)). It is arranged in a posture along with. The minor axis dimension of the receiving portion 637b is slightly larger than the outer diameter dimension of the head B2 of the pin member B.

A plurality of receiving portions 637b are arranged in a straight line parallel to the longitudinal direction (vertical direction in FIG. 45A) of the vertical frame body 637 while being spaced apart from each other at predetermined intervals (equal intervals in the present embodiment). The height position of the receiving portion 637b (position in the vertical direction in FIG. 45A) is set corresponding to the height position of each rocking piece 615.

Therefore, when the pin member B is fastened and fixed to the swing piece 615 of any one of the plurality of swing pieces 615 and the gaming machine main portion (component A6) is attached to the outer frame 610, the pin member B is attached. Head B2 is received by a predetermined receiving portion 637b (that is, a receiving portion 637b at the same height as the swing piece 615 to which the pin member B is attached). As a result, the swing piece 615 (outer frame 610) and the receiving portion 637b (game machine main portion) are connected via the pin member B.

In this case, as described above, the rowing direction of the plurality of rocking pieces 615 is inclined with respect to the longitudinal direction of the inner surface vertical frame body 613, while the rowing direction of the plurality of receiving portions 637b is the vertical frame body 637. Since it is parallel to the longitudinal direction, the outer frame 610 and the game machine main are used according to the intervening position where the pin member B is interposed (that is, the height position of the swing piece 615 to which the pin member B is fastened and fixed). The connection state with the unit (component A6) is changed. That is, the inclination angle of the main part of the gaming machine with respect to the outer frame 610 is changed.

In this way, the hole formed through the vertical frame body 637 made of the plate-shaped body is referred to as the receiving portion 637b. Therefore, when the outer shape of the vertical frame body 637 is punched by press working, the hole is simultaneously formed by the same die. By punching out, the receiving portion 637b can be easily formed, and the manufacturing man-hours can be reduced. Therefore, it is possible to reduce the product cost of the pachinko machine 601 as a whole.

Further, the receiving portion 637b has an oval shape in the front view, and the receiving portion 637b is arranged in a posture in which the major axis thereof is vertically aligned, and the major axis of the receiving portion 637b is larger than the outer diameter of the pin member B. Since it is made larger, it is easy to position the outer frame 610 and the game machine main part in the vertical direction (height direction) when receiving the pin member B in the receiving part 637b due to the dimensional difference between the major diameter and the outer diameter. can do.

A description will be given by returning to FIGS. 41 and 42. The horizontal frame body 638 is formed in a flat plate shape from a wooden material, one end side is connected to one vertical frame body 637 via a second shafted support member 435 on the main portion side, and the other end side is the other vertical frame body. Connected to 637. As a result, the horizontal frame body 638 forms a side facing the main portion side shafted support member 35 in the frame shape of the component A6.

The horizontal frame body 638 is provided with a recess 638a capable of accommodating the handle hd, and a sealing plate 639 covering the area corresponding to the recess 638a is arranged on the lower surface. Further, on one side of the vertical frame body 637 (right side in FIG. 41), a claw receiving member 17 (see FIG. 39) is arranged on the inner surface side thereof (the side facing the other vertical frame body 637).

Next, with reference to FIGS. 46 and 47, the connection structure of the gaming machine main unit (component A6) to the outer frame 610 and the connection operation thereof will be described. 46 (a) to 46 (c) are cross-sectional views of a connecting structure portion showing a connecting structure between the outer frame 610 and the game machine main portion (component A6), and are cross-sectional views taken along the line W2-W2 of FIG. 42. Corresponds to the figure.

47 (a) to 47 (c) are perspective views of the outer frame 610 in a state where the gaming machine main portion (component A6) is connected, and is a connection between the outer frame 610 and the gaming machine main portion. The state in which the position is changed is shown, and the inclination angle of the main part of the gaming machine with respect to the outer frame 610 is different.

As shown in FIG. 46 (a), the attachment of the gaming machine main portion (component A6) to the outer frame 610 is started, and the component A6 is inserted into the frame of the outer frame 610 (to the right in FIG. 46 (a)). (Move), the vertical frame body 637 is moved along the inner surface of the inner surface vertical frame body 613. As a result, the head B2 of the pin member B is guided along the inclined surface 637a of the vertical frame body 637, so that the swing piece 615 of the inner surface vertical frame body 613 is rearward (in the direction away from the vertical frame body 637). It is elastically swung (deformed) toward FIG. 46 (a) upward).

As shown in FIG. 46 (b), when the component A6 is further inserted into the frame of the outer frame 610 (moved to the right in FIG. 46 (b)), the head B2 of the pin member B becomes a vertical frame body. It passes through the inclined surface 637a of 637 and rides on the outer surface (upper side surface of FIG. 46B) of the vertical frame body 637. In this case, the amount of backward swing (deformation) of the swing piece 615 is maximized, and the recess 614a allows the swing piece 615 to swing.

As shown in FIG. 46 (c), when the head B2 of the pin member B reaches the receiving portion 637b of the vertical frame body 637, the swing piece 615 of the inner surface vertical frame body 613 becomes the vertical frame body 637 due to the elastic recovery force. It is swung in a direction close to (that is, returned to the initial position), and the head B2 of the pin member B is received by the receiving portion 637b of the vertical frame body 637. As a result, the pin member B is interposed between the inner vertical frame body 613 of the outer frame 610 and the vertical frame body 637 of the gaming machine main portion (component A6) (that is, the gaming machine main portion with respect to the outer frame 610). (A state in which the constituent elements A6) are connected to each other) is formed, and the work of assembling the main part of the gaming machine to the outer frame 610 is completed.

Since the swing piece 615 is formed so as to be elastically swingable in this way, when the gaming machine main portion (component A6) is attached to the outer frame 610, the gaming machine main portion is attached to the outer frame 610. By simply moving the swing piece 615 back and forth (backward and return to the initial position), the pin member B can be received by the receiving portion 637b. That is, the operator can easily connect the two by simply pushing the gaming machine main portion into the outer frame 610, and as a result, the workability of the work of assembling the gaming machine main portion to the outer frame 610 is improved. Can be planned.

In this case, the gaming machine main portion (component A6) is tilted with respect to the outer frame 610 according to the intervening position where the pin member B is interposed (that is, the height position of the swing piece 615 to which the pin member B is fastened and fixed). The angle is changed. That is, as described above, the rowing direction of the plurality of receiving portions 637b is parallel to the longitudinal direction of the vertical frame body 637, while the rowing direction of the plurality of rocking pieces 615 is the inner surface vertical frame body 613. It is inclined with respect to the longitudinal direction, and the height position is located on the back side of the outer frame 610 by the upper swing piece 615, and the height position is located on the front side of the outer frame 610 by the lower swing piece 615. See FIG. 42).

Therefore, as shown in FIG. 47 (a), when the pin member B is attached to the swing piece 615 whose height position is the lowest, the pin member B is on the frontmost side of the outer frame 610 (FIG. 47 (a). ) Since it is located on the left front side), the inclination angle of the gaming machine main unit (component A6) with respect to the outer frame 610 is the largest (that is, the outer frame) in the state of being connected via the pin member B. The main part of the gaming machine (component A6) stands up most with respect to 610).

On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 47 (c), when the pin member B is attached to the swing piece 615 having the highest height position, the pin member B is the rearmost side of the outer frame 610 (FIG. 47 (c). ) Since it is located on the right back side), the inclination angle of the gaming machine main part (component A6) with respect to the outer frame 610 is the smallest (that is, the outside) in the state of being connected via the pin member B. The main part of the gaming machine (component A6) is in the most prone state with respect to the frame 610).

Further, as shown in FIG. 47 (b), when the pin member B is attached to the swing piece 615 whose height position is in the middle (third from the top of the five positions), the pin member B is described above. Since it is an intermediate position between the back side and the front side of the outer frame 610, the inclination angle of the gaming machine main part (component A6) with respect to the outer frame 610 is the maximum described above in the state of being connected via the pin member B. And the angle is between large and small.

As described above, in the sixth embodiment, the connection state between the inner surface vertical frame body 613 and the vertical frame body 637 can be changed, whereby the gaming machine main unit (component A6) with respect to the outer frame 610 can be changed. The tilt angle of can be adjusted. Therefore, for example, even if the tilt angle needs to be adjusted as a result of assembling the game machine main part to the outer frame 610, the outer frame 610 is once removed from the island wooden frame, and the outer frame 610 with respect to the island wooden frame is removed. There is no need to adjust the mounting angle of the island, and with the outer frame 610 attached to the wooden frame of the island, the tilt angle of the game machine main part with respect to the outer frame 610, that is, the tilt angle of the game machine main part with respect to the wooden frame of the island. Can be adjusted.

In this case, changing the connection state between the inner surface vertical frame body 613 and the vertical frame body 637 changes the intervening position of the pin member B interposed between the inner surface vertical frame body 613 and the vertical frame body 637 ( That is, it can be performed by selecting which of the pin members B to be fastened and fixed to the plurality of rocking pieces 615), which is a simple operation. Therefore, it is possible to improve workability when adjusting the inclination angle of the gaming machine main portion (component A6) with respect to the outer frame 610.

On the other hand, the gaming machine main part (component a6) is removed from the outer frame 610 as follows. First, the locking device KD is unlocked, and the main part of the gaming machine is opened with respect to the outer frame 610. Since the head B2 of the pin member B is exposed on the inner surface of the vertical frame body 637 of the component A6 through the opening of the receiving portion 637b, the head B2 of the pin member B is removed in the removing direction (FIG. 46 (c). ) Upward), the swing piece 615 is swung in a direction away from the vertical frame body 637, and the head B2 of the pin member B is retracted to the outside of the receiving portion 637b. As a result, the pin member B can be placed between the inner surface vertical frame body 613 and the vertical frame body 637 (that is, the state in which the connection between the two is released), so that the gaming machine main portion can be removed (that is, the game machine main portion is disconnected). It can be removed from the outer frame 610 by moving it to the left in FIG. 46 (b).

In the state where the main part of the gaming machine is closed with respect to the outer frame 610, each component (for example, resin base 31 or the like) arranged in the main part of the gaming machine is arranged in the frame of the outer frame 610. The component faces the opening of the receiving portion 637b of the vertical frame body 637. Therefore, since the head B2 of the pin member B exposed from the opening of the receiving portion 637b can be shielded by the facing parts, it is difficult to operate the head B2 of the pin member B through the opening.

Next, a seventh embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 48 to 51. In the first embodiment, the case where the gaming machine main portion 20 is formed so as to be self-supporting by the main portion side shaft support member 35 has been described, but the gaming machine main portion in the seventh embodiment is the main portion side covering.

Also by this, the inclination angle of the main part of the gaming machine with respect to the outer frame 610 can be adjusted by changing the part where the pin member is attached.

In each of the above embodiments, the case where the main part of the gaming machine is arranged so as to be openable and closable to the outer frame via the connecting device has been described, but the outer frame does not need to exist in particular and is attached instead of the outer frame. The main part of the gaming machine may be arranged on the target so as to be openable and closable via a connecting device. That is, the outer frame side engaging member and the outer frame side connecting member may be attached to the attachment target. The shape of the mounting target is arbitrary and is not limited to the frame shape. Further, the mounting target may be the frame itself provided on the island of the hall. That is, the main part of the gaming machine may be arranged on the frame (mounting target) provided on the island of the hall via the connecting device. In this case, the shape of the frame (mounting target) provided on the island of the hole is arbitrary, and is limited to, for example, a shape having upper and lower plates (plates to which the upper frame body and the lower frame body of the outer frame are connected). It's not a thing.

In each of the above embodiments, a shaft hole is opened in the support metal fitting 33 (main portion side shaft member), while the support shaft 34 is provided from the main portion side shaft support member 35, 735 (main portion side shaft support member). A case will be described in which the main shaft side supported members 35 and 735 are pivotally supported with respect to the support bracket 33 via a support shaft 34 that is projected and inserted into the shaft hole of the support bracket 33. However, the present invention is not necessarily limited to this, and while the support shaft 34 is projected from the support metal fitting 33, shaft holes are opened in the main portion side shaft support members 35 and 735, and the main portion side shaft support member is opened. The shaft-supported members 35, 735 on the main portion side may be pivotally supported with respect to the support metal fitting 33 via the support shaft 34 inserted into the shaft holes of the shaft holes 35, 735. That is, in the configuration in which the main part side shaft member is pivotally supported so as to be relatively rotatable with respect to the main part side shaft member, the support shaft is projected from either the main part side shaft member or the main part side shaft support member. It suffices that the shaft hole through which the support shaft is inserted is opened on the other side of the main portion side shaft member or the main portion side shaft supported member.

This is a relative rotation of the main part side second shaft support member (main part side second shaft support member 435,535,732) with respect to the main part side second shaft member (main part side connecting member 32,732). The same applies to the configuration in which the shaft is movably supported, and the support shaft (second support shaft 434, 734) is projected from one of the main portion side second shaft member or the main portion side second shaft support member. It suffices that the shaft hole through which the support shaft is inserted is opened at the other of the main portion side second shaft member or the main portion side second shaft supported member.

In each of the above embodiments, the main portion side shaft support member 35, 735 (main portion side shaft support member) rotates relative to the support metal fitting 33 (main portion side shaft member) via one support shaft 34. The case where the shaft is movably supported has been described, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the main shaft-supported member 35,735 (main-side shaft-supported member) is provided via a plurality of support shafts. May be configured to be pivotally supported so as to be relatively rotatable with respect to the support metal fitting 33 (main portion side shaft member). Similarly, the main part side second shaft support member (main part side second shaft support member 435,535,732) is connected to the main part side second shaft member (main part side connection) via a plurality of support shafts. It may be configured to be pivotally supported by the members 32, 732) so as to be relatively rotatable. For example, between the main part side shafted support member 35,735 and the support metal fitting 33, or between the main part side second shafted support member 435,535,732 and the main part side connecting member 32,732. An example is a configuration in which the shaft is supported so as to be relatively rotatable via a slide hinge (a hinge in which the position of the rotating shaft moves with relative rotation). Such a shaft support structure is also included in the "shaft support" in claims 1 to 4 and the gaming machines A0 to A35 and D1 to D3.

Hereinafter, in addition to the gaming machine of the present invention, the concepts of various inventions included in the above embodiments will be shown.

In a gaming machine including an outer frame and a gaming machine main portion that is openable and closable on the outer frame via a coupling device, the coupling device is a main portion disposed in the gaming machine main portion. Detachable from the side shaft member, the main portion side shaft support member pivotally supported by the game machine main portion via the main portion side shaft member, and the main portion side shaft support member. The gaming machine A0 comprising at least an outer frame side engaging member that is connected and arranged on the outer frame.

The "outer frame" of the gaming machine A0 may be changed to "mounting target". In this case, the "mounting target" does not have to be the configuration of the gaming machine A0 (the gaming machine A0 does not have to be provided). These things are also the same in the following dependent terms (game machines A1 to A35 and game machines D1 to D3).

According to the gaming machine A0, by connecting the shaft-supported member on the main portion side disposed on the main portion of the gaming machine to the engaging member on the outer frame side disposed on the outer frame, the outer frame can be connected to the outer frame. The main part of the gaming machine can be connected so as to be openable and closable via a connecting device. On the other hand, the main portion of the gaming machine can be removed from the outer frame by releasing the connection between the outer frame side engaging member and the main portion side shaft support member.

As a result, the main part of the gaming machine can be removed while leaving the outer frame in the wooden frame of the island of the hall. Therefore, when replacing the gaming machine, the outer frame left in the wooden frame of the island of the hall Can be used to set up another gaming machine main unit. As a result, it is possible to reduce the man-hours required for replacement without the need for adjusting the tilt angle.

In this case, when designing the main part of the gaming machine, it is not necessary to consider the relationship between the main part side shaft member and the outer frame, so that the degree of freedom in the design can be increased. That is, it is sufficient for the main portion side shaft member to have a structure in which the main portion side shaft support member can be connected to the outer frame side engaging member disposed on the outer frame, and the main portion side shaft member can be connected to the main portion side shaft member. It is not necessary to design in relation to the outer frame (outer frame side engaging member). Therefore, the degree of freedom in designing the main shaft member can be ensured.

In the gaming machine A0, the connecting device is detachably connected to the outer frame side connecting member disposed on the outer frame and the outer frame side connecting member thereof, and at the time of connection, the connecting device is connected to the outer frame side connecting member. The gaming machine A1 is further provided with a main portion side connecting member formed so as to be relatively rotatable and arranged in the gaming machine main portion.

According to the gaming machine A1, in addition to the effect of the gaming machine A0, the main portion-side connecting member disposed on the main portion of the gaming machine is connected to the outer frame-side connecting member disposed on the outer frame. By connecting the main part-side shaft support member arranged in the main part of the gaming machine to the outer frame side engaging member arranged in the outer frame, the main part of the gaming machine is connected to the outer frame. It can be connected so as to be openable and closable via a device. That is, since the connecting device connects the outer frame and the main part of the gaming machine at two places, the outer frame and the main part of the gaming machine can be connected in a stable state. On the other hand, by releasing the connection between the outer frame side connecting member and the main part side connecting member and the connection between the outer frame side engaging member and the main part side shafted support member, respectively, from the outer frame. The main part of the gaming machine can be removed.

In the gaming machine A0 or A1, the main portion-side shaft support member disposed on the gaming machine main portion and the outer frame-side engaging member disposed on the outer frame are connected by relative movement in the linear direction. A gaming machine A2 characterized in that it can be formed as possible.

According to the gaming machine A2, in addition to the effects of the gaming machine A0 or A1, the workability when assembling the main part of the gaming machine to the outer frame can be improved. That is, the main part of the gaming machine is relatively heavier than the outer frame, but when replacing the gaming machine, the operator uses the main part of the gaming machine, which is relatively heavy, as the island of the hall. It is necessary to assemble to the outer frame left in the wooden frame. Further, in the assembling work, it is necessary to connect the main portion side shaft support member disposed on the main portion of the gaming machine to the outer frame side engaging member disposed on the outer frame. Therefore, if the operator needs a complicated operation for connecting the outer frame engaging member and the shaft-supported member on the main portion side, the connecting operation is performed while supporting the main portion of the gaming machine, which has a large comparative weight. It becomes difficult to assemble the main part of the gaming machine to the outer frame. On the other hand, according to the gaming machine A2, the main portion side shaft support member disposed on the gaming machine main portion and the outer frame side engaging member disposed on the outer frame move relative to each other in the linear direction. As a result, the connection operation can be simplified, and as a result, the workability when assembling the main part of the gaming machine to the outer frame can be improved.

In particular, in the case of the gaming machine A2 having the configuration of the gaming machine A1, "the main portion side connecting member disposed on the gaming machine main portion and the outer frame side connecting member arranged on the outer frame are , It is formed so that it can be connected by relative movement in the linear direction, and the linear direction when connecting the main part side connecting member to the outer frame side connecting member is the main part side shaft mounted on the gaming machine main part. It is preferable to have a configuration "parallel to the linear direction when connecting the support member to the outer frame side engaging member disposed on the outer frame". According to the gaming machine A2 having this configuration, in addition to the effect of the gaming machine A0 or A1, the main portion side connecting member disposed on the game machine main portion is arranged on the outer frame side connecting member. The linear direction when connecting to the outer frame side connecting member arranged on the outer frame is parallel to the linear direction when connecting to the outer frame side connecting member arranged on the main part of the gaming machine. Therefore, the main part of the gaming machine can be connected only by moving the main part in a straight line with respect to the outer frame. Therefore, even when the main portion side connecting member and the outer frame side connecting member are further provided, the workability when assembling the gaming machine main portion to the outer frame can be improved.

In the gaming machine A2, the gaming machine A3 is characterized in that the linear direction is a direction perpendicular to the frame surface of the outer frame.

According to the gaming machine A3, in addition to the effect of the gaming machine A2, a straight line when connecting the main portion side connecting member disposed on the gaming machine main portion to the outer frame side connecting member arranged on the outer frame. The direction and the linear direction when connecting the main portion-side axial support member disposed on the main portion of the gaming machine to the outer frame-side connecting member disposed on the outer frame are relative to the frame surface of the outer frame. Since the direction is vertical, the main part of the gaming machine can be assembled to the outer frame simply by arranging the main part of the gaming machine in front of the outer frame and pushing it straight in a straight line direction. Therefore, it is possible to improve workability when assembling the main part of the gaming machine to the outer frame.

In the gaming machines A0 to A3, the main portion side shaft support member is arranged at a position separated from one end side pivotally supported by the main portion side shaft member and includes a tip portion, and the tip portion is the outer portion. The gaming machine A4 is characterized in that it is formed so as to be grounded when the shaft-supported member on the main portion side is opened with respect to the gaming machine main portion removed from the frame.

According to the gaming machine A4, in addition to the effect played on the gaming machines A0 to A3, the main part of the gaming machine can be made to stand alone (that is, even in a state of being separated from the outer frame). That is, in the conventional gaming machine, the bottom surface of the outer frame is formed as a flat surface having a relatively large area, and by using the bottom surface of the outer frame, the gaming machine is formed so as to be self-supporting. On the other hand, in the conventional gaming machine, the independence of the gaming machine main part is not considered. Therefore, when the gaming machine main portion is formed to be removable from the outer frame, the removed gaming machine main portion needs to be laid on its side. On the other hand, according to the gaming machine A4, since the main portion side shaft support member is provided with a tip portion at a position separated from one end side pivotally supported by the main portion side shaft member, the main portion side shaft support member is provided. The material is rotated relative to the main part of the gaming machine to be in an open state (that is, if the main part-side shaft support member is, for example, a linear member, both are arranged in a dogleg shape. The shape of the shaft-supported member on the main portion side is not limited to a linear shape between the one end side and the tip portion that are pivotally supported. Even) it can be self-reliant.

In the conventional gaming machine, if the main part of the gaming machine is opened with respect to the outer frame (both are arranged in a dogleg shape), the gaming machine can be made independent. However, since the outer frame has a slightly larger outer shape than the main part of the gaming machine, the height direction between the bottom surface of the outer frame (the surface on the grounding side) and the bottom surface of the main part of the gaming machine (the surface on the grounding side). The inclination of the self-supporting gaming machine increases by the amount of the dimensional difference (vertical direction of the gaming machine). In addition, the position of the center of gravity becomes higher because the outer frame is included. Therefore, the self-supporting gaming machine tends to fall down. On the other hand, according to the gaming machine A4, since the gaming machine main portion removed from the outer frame is made to stand independently, the bottom surface (grounding side surface) of the gaming machine main portion and the tip portion of the main portion side shaft support member The difference in the height direction from the bottom surface (ground plane) can be reduced. In addition, the position of the center of gravity can be lowered because the outer frame is not included. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the self-supporting gaming machine from collapsing.

In the gaming machine A4, the main portion side shaft support member includes a portion formed in a flat plate shape parallel to the frame surface of the gaming machine main portion in a direction perpendicular to the frame surface, and the bottom surface of the portion formed in the flat plate shape. A5 is a gaming machine A5, characterized in that is a tip portion thereof.

According to the game machine A5, in addition to the effect of the game machine A4, the main portion side shaft support member includes a portion formed in a flat plate shape parallel to the frame surface of the game machine main portion. If, for example, the floor to be grounded is deformed by that amount (for example, if the floor is made of an elastic material, or if the floor is laid with a laying material made of cloth or an elastic material), the floor (for example) It is possible to secure a ground contact area with respect to the laying body) and stabilize the independence of the main part of the game machine. Further, the portion formed in the flat plate shape of the main portion side shaft support member is made parallel in the direction perpendicular to the frame surface of the gaming machine main portion, so that the plurality of gaming machine main portions can stand on their own. At that time, since the other main portion side shaft support member can be superposed on the main portion side shaft support member, it is possible to improve the storage efficiency when a plurality of gaming machine main parts are made independent. Further, the main portion side shaft support member is provided with a portion formed in a flat plate shape parallel to the frame surface of the gaming machine main portion in a direction perpendicular to the frame surface of the gaming machine main portion, so that the gaming machine main portion is closed to the outer frame. At the same time, it is possible to efficiently secure a space for arranging parts such as a control board in the main part of the gaming machine.

Here, when the shaft-supported member on the main portion side is pivotally supported by one shaft (main portion-side shaft member) on the main portion of the gaming machine (there is only one shaft support location), the shaft support portion. Is provided with backlash in the axial direction (vertical direction of the gaming machine), and the backlash causes the bottom surface (ground side surface) of the main part of the gaming machine and the tip of the shaft-supported member on the main part side (a portion formed in a flat plate shape). ) May be configured to absorb (reduce) the dimensional difference in the height direction (vertical direction of the gaming machine) from the bottom surface (the surface on the ground side). As a result, the tip end portion of the shaft-supported member on the main portion side can be grounded more uniformly (to secure a ground contact surface seat), and self-reliance can be stabilized.

In the gaming machine A4 or A5, the main portion side shaft support member is inside a pair of edge portions connecting one end side pivotally supported by the main portion side shaft member and the other end side opposite to the one end side. When one edge portion is folded back and the other edge portion is formed into a flat plate shape, and the main portion side shafted support member is in an open state with respect to the gaming machine main portion. One of the folded and formed edges is located on the opposite side of the game machine main portion, and the other edge formed in the flat plate shape is located on the game machine main portion side. Pachinko machine A6.

According to the gaming machine A6, in addition to the effect of the gaming machine A4 or A5, one edge of the pair of edges connecting one end side and the other end side of the main portion side shaft support member is folded back. Since it is formed, the rigidity of the shaft-supported member on the main portion side can be increased accordingly. That is, when the shaft-supported member on the main portion side is in an open state (arranged in a dogleg shape) with respect to the main portion of the gaming machine, the main portion of the gaming machine can be firmly supported. It is possible to stabilize the independence of the club.

On the other hand, when the edge of the main portion side shaft support member is folded back, another main portion side shaft support member is superposed on one main portion side shaft support member to form a plurality of gaming machine main parts. By riding on the folded edge when making it independent, the main part of the gaming machine is tilted and the independence becomes unstable. On the other hand, according to the present gaming machine, in the main portion side shaft support member, the other edge portion located on the gaming machine main portion side is formed in a flat plate shape in a state where the gaming machine main portion is self-supporting. Therefore, it is possible to avoid one edge portion formed by folding back and to sequentially stack the other main portion side shaft support member on the other edge portion. Therefore, it is possible to suppress the inclination of the main part of the gaming machine and make it stand on its own in a stable manner.

A7 is characterized in that, in the gaming machine A6, one edge portion of the shaft-supported member on the main portion side is formed by being folded back toward the upper surface side.

According to the gaming machine A7, in addition to the effect of the gaming machine A6, one edge of the main portion side shaft support member is formed by being folded back toward the upper surface side, so that the main portion side shaft support member is formed. A flat surface-shaped portion can be formed on the bottom surface (the surface on the ground side) of the machine. Therefore, it is possible to secure the ground contact area and stabilize the independence of the main part of the gaming machine.

In the gaming machine A5 and the gaming machine A7, the surface that becomes the "upper surface (the surface facing upward)" when the gaming machine main portion is attached to the outer frame is grounded by removing the gaming machine main portion from the outer frame. When it becomes a surface to be used, it becomes a "bottom surface". Further, in the gaming machine A7, the “upper surface side” means a surface facing upward when grounded. Therefore, in the main portion side shaft support member located above the gaming machine main portion attached to the outer frame, the surface side that is the lower surface in the attached state is the “upper surface side” of the gaming machine A7. The same applies to the other gaming machines A1 to A4, A6, A8 to A35, and D1 to D3 except for the gaming machines A5 and A7.

In any of the gaming machines A4 to the gaming machine A7, the main portion side shaft support member is interposed between the main portion side shaft support member and the game machine main portion, and the main portion side shaft support member is used with the main portion side shaft member. The gaming machine A8 is provided with a rotating urging member that rotates relative to the center of rotation and urges the gaming machine main portion in a direction in which it is opened.
