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) that uses gaming balls as the gaming medium, as described in Patent Document 1, for example, comprises a removable gaming board having a gaming area in which gaming balls shot out by a ball launching device roll, and a door frame (see "Front Frame C" in Patent Document 1) supported by a hinge means so that it can be opened and closed; when the door frame is closed, it covers the front of the gaming board in a visible state, and the door frame is opened to allow the gaming board to be attached and detached.
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-shaped game panel (see Patent Document 1, "Base 10") that has a game area on the front side, and has a predetermined thickness in the front-rear direction and is attached to the front side of the game panel so that the game area can be expanded. (see Patent Document 1 "Front Decoration Member 14") for partitioning (see Patent Document 1 Paragraph 0017, FIG. 3, and FIG. 10).

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 a game board was divided into approximately circular shapes by attaching metal rail members (outer rails) directly to the front of the game panel, but as in Patent Document 1, a dividing member was attached to the front of the game panel. There are also machines that are attached to partition the gaming 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 are also devices 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, you will end up in a situation where the circular game area is infinitely inscribed in the square game panel. There was a risk that the strength of the narrow part of the partitioning member where the distance between the outer surface that follows the square outline of the game panel and the inner surface that follows the approximately circular shape of the game area is closest to each other was 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 made in view of the above, and its purpose is to solve the problem of insufficient strength of the partitioning members in order to secure a wide playing area of a game board in which a partitioning member is attached to the front of the game panel to form a playing area. The purpose of the present invention is to provide a gaming machine with the following features .

上記の目的を達成するために本発明は、
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、
前記幅狭部に設けられる複数の前記リブの厚みは、略同一の厚みとされかつ前記遊技球の直径よりも小さく、
隣り合う前記リブ同士の間隔は、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０９３５、図１３７Ｋ～図１３７Ｎ等を参照）。 In order to achieve the above object, the present invention has the following features:
Equipped with a game board having a game area where game balls launched by a ball launcher roll,
The game board is
a plate-shaped game panel having the game area on the front side;
A gaming machine comprising: a partitioning member that partitions the gaming area by being attached to the front surface of the gaming panel,
The partition member is
When the game panel side is referred to as "rear", the opposite side as "front", the game area side as "inside", and the opposite side as "outside",
a partition wall portion having a front-to-back width larger than the diameter of the game ball;
a support base formed on the outside of the partition wall;
The support base part is
a partition wall support part formed on an outer surface of the partition wall in a direction parallel to the front surface of the game panel;
a rib in the front-rear direction spanning the outer surface of the partition wall portion and the partition wall support portion;
A plurality of ribs are provided in a narrow portion of the partition wall support portion that is narrow in width when viewed from the front, and a rear end of the partition wall portion and a rear end of the rib are arranged to face each other in front of the game panel;
The thickness of the plurality of ribs provided in the narrow width portion is approximately the same thickness and is smaller than the diameter of the game ball,
The distance between the adjacent ribs is smaller than the diameter of the game ball.
It is characterized by (See, for example, paragraphs 0934, 0935, FIGS. 137K-137N, etc.).

本発明によれば、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の不足が解消できる。According to the present invention, in a game board in which a playing area is formed by attaching a partition member to the front surface of a game panel, a lack of strength of the partition member that occurs when a large playing area is ensured can be eliminated.
