A payout ball count switch 208 detects the number of game balls paid out through the prize ball payout channel 206 .

An inner frame open switch 212 is provided in the lower left area of the payout control board case 210 . A power cord (not shown) is connected to a power supply (for example, 24 V AC) installed in, for example, an island facility of the amusement arcade. As a result, the power supply (power) necessary for the operation of the game machine 100 is ensured.

As shown in FIGS. 5 to 7, the top plate 102a of the outer frame 102 is formed with island fixing holes 300a to 300d for driving nails for fixing the outer frame 102 to the island facility. A plurality of (18 in the example in the drawing) ribs 301 for reinforcing the inner frame 104 are formed on the upper surface of the top plate of the inner frame 104 . The ribs 301 are arranged side by side so that they are spaced apart from each other by a constant interval (equally spaced).

When the inner frame 104 is closed (the state shown in FIG. 5), the island fixing holes 300a to 300d do not face the prize ball storage tank 204, but face the flat portion of the upper surface of the top plate of the inner frame 104. It is placed in a position where Also, the island fixing holes 300a to 300d are arranged at positions that do not face the ribs 301 when the inner frame 104 is closed.

Specifically, in this embodiment, the island fixing holes 300a to 300d are arranged at positions separated by a distance W1 from the prize ball storage tank 204 in the front-rear direction of the outer frame 102 (see FIG. 5). As a result, the island fixing holes 300a to 300d do not face the prize ball storage tank 204.

Island fixing holes 300a to 300d are arranged at a distance of W2 from the tip of rib 301 in the front-rear direction of outer frame 102 (see FIG. 5). Central axes La to Ld are arranged so as to pass between ribs 301 (see FIG. 7). Also, the diameter r of each of the island fixing holes 300a to 300d is such that the rib 301 does not cover the island fixing holes 300a to 300d. As a result, the island fixing holes 300 a to 300 d do not face the rib 301 .

Furthermore, since the upper surface of the inner frame 104 is flat except for the ribs 301, the island fixing holes 300a to 300d face the flat portion of the upper surface of the inner frame 104. As shown in FIG.

Further, in this embodiment, the distance W3 from each of the island fixing holes 300a to 300d to the flat portion of the upper surface of the inner frame 104 is the same. For this reason, if the nail can be driven into only one place so that the nail head does not come into contact with the flat portion of the upper surface of the inner frame 104, then the nail can be driven into the other places with the same feeling. It is easy to grasp the feeling of the amount of driving.

As a method for preventing the island fixing holes 300a to 300d from facing the prize ball storage tank 204 and the ribs 301, the arrangement of the island fixing holes 300a to 300d and the size of the island fixing holes 300a to 300d are adopted as in the present embodiment. It is not limited to preventing them from facing each other depending on the thickness, but it is possible to prevent them from facing each other by adjusting either the position or the size of the island fixing holes 300a to 300d.

Conventionally, the island fixing hole has a function as a mark when driving a nail. If the number of nails driven into the island fixing holes is insufficient when the game machine is fixed to the island equipment of the game hall, the nail heads may not reach the upper surface of the inner frame, the prize ball storage tank, or the reinforcing ribs of the inner frame. may come into contact with and cause these damages. In addition, conventionally, there was a problem that the wooden scraps of the outer frame fell into the prize ball storage tank due to the driving of the nail. However, in this embodiment, the island fixing holes 300a to 300d do not face the prize ball storage tank 204 or the ribs 301, but face the flat portion of the upper surface of the inner frame 104. It is possible to solve the problem that the prize ball storage tank 204 and the rib 301 are damaged. Furthermore, the problem that the wood chips of the outer frame 102 fall into the prize ball storage tank 204 can be solved.

[Configuration of Lower Hinge Mechanism]

The height direction gap between the upper surface 408b of the inner frame hinge plate 408 and the lower surface 410b of the front frame hinge plate 410 is preferably less than the diameter of the game ball, more preferably less than the radius of the game ball.

Further, the top surface 408b of the inner frame hinge plate 408 is provided with a regulation piece 408c that regulates the rotation range of the front frame 106. As shown in FIG. The regulation piece 408c is formed so that the angle between the regulation piece 408c and the upper surface 408b of the inner plate hinge plate 408 is not less than 90 degrees. In the present embodiment, when the front frame 106 is opened, the rear surface of the front frame 106 is in contact with the regulation piece 408c. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the player in the adjacent seat from becoming an obstacle.

The restricting piece 408c is arranged at a position where a gap 412 is formed between it and the end 104a of the inner frame 104 (in other words, the edge of the inner frame 104, the front end face of the inner frame 104). The width of the gap 412 is at least a width exceeding the diameter of one game ball (for example, 11 mm). In addition, on the back side of the upper surface 408b of the inner frame hinge plate 408, a retraction area 408d larger than the diameter of one game ball is formed. When the inner frame hinge plate 408 is attached to the inner frame 104, the retraction area 408d is positioned deeper than the end 104a of the inner frame 104. As shown in FIG.

Therefore, in this embodiment, by attaching the hinge cover 406 having the same color as the panel 414 to the outer frame hinge plate 404, the design of the hinge used for the outer frame 102 can be improved. Further, by forming the hinge cover 406 from a smooth resin, the slidability of the inner frame hinge plate 408 can be enhanced when the inner frame 104 is opened. If the hinge cover 406 is not provided, the outer frame hinge plate 404 and the inner frame hinge plate 408 made of metal may be damaged due to direct rubbing, or metal powder generated by the direct rubbing may injure a hand. Inconvenience associated with the opening of the inner frame 104 can be eliminated, and safety can be ensured.

Conventionally, when game balls are stuck on the upper surface of the hinge plate for some reason while the front frame is open, the front frame is damaged even if the store clerk of the game parlor does not notice it. There was a request that the front frame could be closed without Therefore, in this embodiment, even if the front frame 106 is closed while the game ball is staying on the inner frame hinge plate 408, the game ball is discharged to the outside, or the game ball is retreated to the retreat area 408d. Since the closing of the front frame 106 is not prevented, it is possible to prevent the front frame 106 from being damaged due to the game ball being caught when the front frame 106 is closed.

In the above embodiment, the inner frame hinge plate 408 is provided with the regulating piece 408c. Then, the game ball may be discharged from the gap between the regulation piece provided on the outer frame and the end of the inner frame 104. - 特許庁

When the projection 112c is inserted into the recess 111a, the design sheet 111 is positioned vertically.

The base plate 112 has three air bubble prevention holes 112d to prevent air bubbles from remaining between the base plate 112 and the design sheet 111 when the design sheet 111 is attached.

[Design sheet of light emitting unit]
Next, the adhesive attached to the design sheet 111 will be described with reference to FIG. 18 shows the back side of the design sheet 111. FIG.

As shown in FIG. 18, an adhesive 130 is applied to the design sheet 111 (hatched portion in the figure). The adhesive 130 is placed at a position about 3 mm inward from the outer edge of the design sheet 111 . Further, the adhesive 130 is arranged along the outer peripheral edge of the design sheet 111 so as to form a ring with a width of about 5 mm over the entire circumference. That is, in this embodiment, the adhesive 130 is arranged at a distance of 3 mm or more from the outer edge of the design sheet 111, and is not arranged at a distance of less than 3 mm.

The bubble prevention hole 112d of the base plate 112 is arranged at a position where the adhesive 130 does not adhere when the design sheet 111 is attached to the base plate 112. FIG.

[How to attach the design sheet]
Next, the operation of attaching the design sheet 111 to the base plate 112 will be described with reference to FIG.

As shown in FIG. 19(a), first, the design sheet 111 with the adhesive 130 adhered to the back surface is tilted with respect to the base plate 112 and is brought into contact with the adhesive surface 112a. At this time, the end portion of the design sheet 111 on the concave portion 111a side is made to face the rib 112b of the base plate 112 . In addition, the design sheet 111 is tilted so that the adhesive 130 of the design sheet 111 does not adhere to the adhesive surface 112 a , and the edge of the design sheet 111 is brought into contact with the base plate 112 . Then, while the design sheet 111 is tilted, it is slid toward the rib 112b of the base plate 112. - 特許庁

Next, as shown in FIG. 19B, the edges of the design sheet 111 are abutted against the ribs 112b of the base plate 112, and the concave portions 111a of the design sheet 111 are inserted into the convex portions 112c of the base plate 112. Next, as shown in FIG. Thereby, the design sheet 111 is positioned with respect to the base plate 112 .

Next, as shown in FIG. 19(c), the design sheet 111 is rotated so that the design sheet 111 approaches the base plate 112 around the abutment side of the base plate 112 against the ribs 112b. The design sheet 111 is attached to the adhesive surface 112a of the . At this time, since air escapes from the air bubble prevention hole 112d of the base plate 112, the formation of air bubbles is prevented.

Through the above operations, the design sheet 111 can be attached to the base plate 112 .

For example, when the adhesive 130 is applied to the outer periphery of the design sheet 111 and the design sheet 111 is attached by positioning from above the base plate 112, it is necessary to perform the positioning and attachment at once, resulting in an operational error. easier. However, in this embodiment, since the adhesive 130 is applied to the portion separated from the outer peripheral edge of the design sheet 111 by a predetermined distance, the design sheet 111 can be attached while sliding. Therefore, since the design sheet 111 can be pasted after being positioned, the positioning and pasting of the design sheet 111 can be performed separately and easily. As a result, it is possible to prevent mistakes in the work when pasting the design sheet 111, and improve the efficiency of the work when pasting the sheet. Also, with the configuration of this embodiment, the adhesive strength of the design sheet 111 is reduced. However, when the front frame 106 is closed, the illuminant unit 110 is located at a position where the possibility of contact with a player or a game ball is extremely low. In such a place, it is more important to prevent deterioration of work efficiency and appearance even if the adhesive strength is reduced.

Further, for example, in a configuration in which a positioning boss is formed on the base plate 112 and a positioning hole into which the boss is inserted is formed in the design sheet 111, the positioning and attachment of the design sheet 111 are performed at once. There is a need. However, in this embodiment, the design sheet 111 is positioned by sliding the design sheet 111 and inserting the concave portion 111 a of the design sheet 111 into the convex portion 112 c of the base plate 112 . As a result, since the design sheet 111 can be pasted after being positioned, the positioning and pasting of the design sheet 111 can be performed separately, making it easier. As a result, it is possible to prevent mistakes in the work when pasting the design sheet 111, and improve the efficiency of the work when pasting the sheet.

Further, if air bubbles are generated when the design sheet 111 is attached to the base plate 112, the light emitted toward the design sheet 111 makes the air bubbles conspicuous. However, in the present embodiment, since the air bubble prevention holes 112d are formed in the base plate 112, it is possible to eliminate the trouble of releasing the air between the base plate 112 and the design sheet 111 to the outside. You can increase the efficiency of your work.

In addition, since the adhesive 130 is applied at a predetermined distance from the outer edge of the design sheet 111, it is possible to prevent the adhesive 130 from overflowing.

The bubble prevention hole 112d of the base plate 112 is arranged at a position where the adhesive 130 does not adhere when the design sheet 111 is attached to the base plate 112. FIG.

The arrangement position of the adhesive 130 on the design sheet 111, the form of the design sheet 111, and the arrangement of the air bubble prevention holes 112d are different from those of the parts other than the light emitting unit 110 (the winning openings and the variable winning devices (so-called attackers, electric tubes, etc.)). ) may be applied to the design sheet attached to the
