Description

遊技球を遊技媒体とする遊技機（パチンコ機）は、例えば特許文献１に記載されているように、球発射装置によって打ち出された遊技球が転動する遊技領域を有する着脱可能な遊技盤と、開閉可能なようにヒンジ手段で支持された扉枠（特許文献１「前枠Ｃ」参照）と、を備えてなり、閉状態の扉枠によって遊技盤の前面を視認可能な状態に覆うと共に該扉枠を開状態にして遊技盤を着脱するものである。 A gaming machine (pachinko machine) using game balls as game media has a detachable game board having a game area on which game balls launched by a ball launching device roll, as described in Patent Document 1, for example. , and a door frame supported by hinge means so as to be openable and closable (see Patent Document 1 “Front frame C”), and the closed door frame covers the front surface of the game board in a visible state. The game board is attached and detached with the door frame opened.
前記遊技盤は、前面に遊技領域を有する板状の遊技パネル（特許文献１「基材１０」参照）と、前後方向に所定の厚みを有し前記遊技パネルの前面に取り付けることにより前記遊技領域を区画する区画部材（特許文献１「前面飾り部材１４」参照）と、を有する（特許文献１段落００１７、図３、図１０参照）。 The game board includes a plate-like game panel (see Patent Document 1, “Base material 10”) having a game area on the front surface, and a predetermined thickness in the front-rear direction. (see Patent Document 1, “front decorative member 14”) and a partitioning member (see Patent Document 1, paragraph 0017, FIGS. 3 and 10).

特開２０１３－１５４１１３号公報JP 2013-154113 A

従来、遊技盤の遊技領域は、遊技パネルの前面に金属製のレール部材（外レール）を直に取り付けて略円形に区画していたが、特許文献１のように遊技パネルの前面に区画部材を取り付けて遊技領域を区画するものもある。Conventionally, the game area of the game board has been divided into a substantially circular shape by attaching a metal rail member (outer rail) directly to the front surface of the game panel. is attached to divide the play area.
そして、近年では、特許文献１の外レールも区画部材の内側面に取り付けて、該区画部材を遊技パネルに取り付けるようにしたものも存在する。 In recent years, there is also a game panel in which the outer rail of Patent Document 1 is also attached to the inner surface of the partitioning member, and the partitioning member is attached to the game panel.
言うまでもなく遊技パネルの大きさには限界があり、その大きさの範囲内で遊技領域を最大にしようとすると、正方形の遊技パネルに円形の遊技領域が限りなく内接するに等しい状態になるため、区画部材の、遊技パネルの四角い輪郭に沿う外側面と、遊技領域の略円形に沿う内側面と、の距離が最も近接する幅狭部の強度が不十分になるおそれがあった。 Needless to say, there is a limit to the size of the game panel, and if you try to maximize the game area within that size range, the circular game area will be inscribed in the square game panel. There is a possibility that the strength of the narrow portion of the dividing member, which is closest to the outer surface along the square outline of the game panel and the inner surface along the substantially circular shape of the game area, may be insufficient.

本発明は上記に鑑みなされたもので、その目的は、遊技パネルの前面に区画部材を取り付けて遊技領域を形成する遊技盤の、広い遊技領域確保に伴う区画部材の強度不足の解消を行いうるようにした遊技機を提供することにある。 The present invention has been devised in view of the above, and its object is to solve the insufficient strength of the partition member accompanying securing a wide game area of a game board in which the game area is formed by attaching the partition member to the front surface of the game panel. To provide a game machine configured as follows .

上記の目的を達成するため本発明は、
球発射装置によって打ち出された遊技球が転動する遊技領域を有する遊技盤を備え、
該遊技盤は、
前面に前記遊技領域を有する板状の遊技パネルと、
前記遊技パネルの前面に取り付けることにより前記遊技領域を区画する区画部材と、を備えてなる遊技機であって、
前記区画部材は、
前記遊技パネル側を「後」、反対側を「前」、前記遊技領域側を「内側」、反対側を「外側」としたとき、
前記遊技球の直径より大きい前後幅を有する区画壁部と、
該区画壁部の外側に形成された支持ベース部と、を備えており、
前記支持ベース部は、
前記区画壁部の外側面に前記遊技パネルの前面と平行な向きに形成された区画壁支持部と、
前記区画壁部の外側面と前記区画壁支持部とに跨がる前後方向のリブと、を備え、
前記区画壁支持部の正面視で幅が狭い幅狭部に前記リブを複数設けると共に前記区画壁部の後端と前記リブの後端とを前記遊技パネルの前面に対向配置させるようにし、
さらに、前記幅狭部に設けられる複数の前記リブの厚みは、前記遊技球の直径よりも小さい
ことを特徴とする。（例えば、段落０９３４～段落０９３６、図１３７Ｋ～図１３７Ｏ等参照） In order to achieve the above object, the present invention
A game board having a game area on which game balls launched by the ball launcher roll,
The game board is
A plate-like game panel having the game area on its front surface;
A game machine comprising a partitioning member that partitions the game area by being attached to the front surface of the game panel,
The partition member is
When the game panel side is "rear", the opposite side is "front", the game area side is "inside", and the opposite side is "outside",
A partition wall portion having a front-rear width larger than the diameter of the game ball;
a support base formed outside the partition wall,
The support base is
a partition wall support portion formed on the outer surface of the partition wall portion in a direction parallel to the front surface of the game panel;
a rib in the front-rear direction that straddles the outer surface of the partition wall and the partition wall support,
A plurality of ribs are provided in a narrow portion of the partition wall support portion having a narrow width in a front view, and a rear end of the partition wall portion and a rear end of the rib are arranged to face the front surface of the game panel,
Furthermore, the thickness of the plurality of ribs provided in the narrow portion is smaller than the diameter of the game ball.
