[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a glass frame of a pachinko machine which covers a front surface of a game board in a see-through manner.

[0002]

As is well known, in a pachinko machine, a front frame is freely hinged to a machine frame main body, and a game plate is fixed to a mechanism plate provided behind the front frame to open the front frame from an opening portion of the front frame. While the front of the game board can be seen, the ball hit toward the game board falls along the board surface, and the ball hit is also manipulated illegally or the winning device of the game board is illegal. A glass frame is attached to the opening to prevent manipulation. The glass frame usually consists of a mounting metal frame and a glass mounting metal frame that is hinged to one side edge of this mounting metal frame and can be freely opened and closed.The mounting metal frame is fitted into the opening of the front frame. By attaching a screw, the mounting metal frame can be freely opened and closed, and by closing this mounting metal frame, the plate glass to be mounted is attached to the front of the game board and it can be covered in a transparent state. I am doing it. Generally, two plate glasses are mounted in parallel on the glass mounting metal frame at a slight distance in the front and rear, and a structure for preventing fraudulent acts from the outside is adopted, but in any case, it is mounted here. The transparent glass is used as the glass, and the front of the game board can be seen through. In particular, because the falling state of the hit ball and the operating state of the winning device are important for the player to achieve the winning effect, it is essential to observe the game board surface, and it is natural to use transparent glass. There is.

[0003]

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] Under such circumstances, the display at the time of winning tends to be strange due to the recent enlargement of the winning device and the complicated operation. In particular, the blinking of the display lamps can be directly conveyed to the player visually and the winning status can be expressed to other players. It has become so. However, such an increase in the size of the display lamp increases the visual fatigue of the player, and if the game is enthusiastic and played for a long time, it has a great adverse effect. Especially, the pachinko machines of recent years have been able to play for a long time because they employ electric launching means, and therefore, there is a risk of fatigue from the eyes without knowing them, which may lead to impairment of eyesight and the like.

[0004]

[Means for Solving the Problems] The present invention was devised in order to improve the conventional problems as described above, and a transparent plate glass which covers the front surface of a game board is a semitransparent plate glass. Instead of this, or by putting a semitransparent film on a transparent plate glass, a part of the light of the indicator lamp or the lighting lamp of the prize winning device is shielded or absorbed by the semitransparent plate glass or film, and the player's eyes Direct display of large light intensity,
The purpose is to prevent the light from entering.

The above-mentioned translucent plate glass may be applied to two plate glasses mounted on a glass mounting metal frame,
Either one of the front and rear plate glasses may be a translucent plate glass. In the case of a semi-transparent film, the film is directly attached to the transparent plate glass, and even if it is in a semi-transparent state, it can be inserted and removed freely in the middle of the transparent plate glass that is mounted at a front-rear interval and is transparent. The plate glass may be in a semitransparent state.

According to the present invention, the transparent plate glass which covers the front surface of the game plate is made into a semi-transparent plate glass as described above.
Alternatively, by adding a semi-transparent film to make it semi-transparent, part of the light from the display lamps and lighting lamps provided in the prize winning device is blocked and absorbed to reduce the amount of light entering the eyes of the player and weaken the stimulus. However, the above semi-transparent state is applied to the entire surface of the plate glass covering the front surface of the game board, an indicator lamp,
Only the front part where the lighting lamp is equipped may be semi-transparent. Gaming boards are generally decorated by showing colors and patterns on the board surface, and because it is designed for players to enjoy playing games, covering the entire surface with translucent glass etc. reduces these decorative effects. Become. The reduction of the effect in this case is determined by the transparency ratio, but since the game board surface other than the installation place of the display lamp etc. is unrelated to the blinking of the lamp, there is no problem to expose the decorated surface as it is. It is effective to absorb and reduce the light only in the portion where the display lamp and the like are installed. still,
The use of colored plate glass for translucency of transparent plate glass,
Alternatively, it can be performed by using a colored film.
In addition, as a result of experiments through use in this case, it was found that a sufficient effect can be obtained when the light transmittance of the semitransparent plate glass or film is about 75 to 80%. The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the illustrated embodiments, and other features will be described together.

The front plate 4c having the above is incorporated. The mounting metal frame 4a is formed in a vertically long rectangular frame that fits into the opening 5 of the front frame, and the brim 11 protruding outward from the peripheral edge is attached to the front surface of the front frame and folded back to the inner periphery. The portion 12 is fitted in the inner periphery of the opening 5 and fixed integrally by screwing a screw 13.

On the other hand, the glass mounting metal frame 4b is fitted in the inner circumference of the mounting metal frame 4a side by side with the front plate 4c.
Both of these both have one side edge (left side edge) projected into the pocket of the corresponding frame portion 12 of the mounting metal frame 4a, and are pivotally attached to the pivot shaft 14 that passes vertically inside this pocket to be freely opened and closed. I am trying to do it. Further, the mounting metal frame 4b having a substantially square shape is provided with glass mounting grooves 15 having a W-shaped cross-section on the inner peripheral edges of the three sides excluding the upper edge portion. The components 16 and 17 are dropped, and they are mounted in a state in which a required space is provided between them. The front plate 4c is provided with a prize ball upper plate 10 on the front surface, and on the back surface, a ball hitting supply device (not shown) for guiding and guiding the balls supplied from the upper plate to the ball hitting device one by one is attached. .

Now, of the two plate glasses 16 and 17 fitted into the glass mounting metal frame 4b, a colored and translucent plate glass is used for the front plate glass 16 and the rear plate glass 17 is the same as the conventional one. Transparent glazing is used. In this embodiment, the translucent plate gas 16 is covered with a bronze colored plate glass having a visible light transmittance of about 74% so as to cover the front surface of the game plate 6.

The game board 6 is designed so that the entire front surface except the peripheral portion can be seen through the glass-fitted metal frame 4b, and a display lamp and a digital display device are provided at the center of the game portion 20 surrounded by the band 19. A large prize winning device 21 is installed, and a lamp case 22 for displaying a prize and a lamp case 23 for indicating a stop of the game are attached to both corners of the upper part so as to occupy each corner. In addition to that, a windmill 24 for changing the direction of the falling ball, a tulip type winning device 2

Although the case where the semitransparent film 28 is attached to the front transparent glass plate 26 is described here, the same effect can be obtained even if the semitransparent film is attached to the rear glass plate 17. Further, the film 28 may be inserted into a space 29 formed between the front and rear plate glasses 26 and 17 so as to block a part of light of a display lamp or the like. In particular, the use of the semi-transparent film 28 is advantageous in that it can be carried out on a pre-manufactured pachinko machine without requiring special modification, and has the advantage that it can be carried out easily and inexpensively.
The semi-transparency of the semi-transparent film is particularly advantageous when partially semi-transparent processing is performed as described in the second embodiment, and further, the light amount of the display lamp and the like is accompanied by the replacement of the game board. Is advantageous because it can be easily changed to a suitable state by replacing it with a film having different transparency.

[0017]

The features of the embodiment of the present invention are described in detail above. According to the present invention, the light of the display lamp or the like, which is conventionally mounted on the game board directly through the transparent plate glass, particularly The light from the blinking lamp entered the eyes, which strongly affected the eyesight of the player, but the semi-transparent treatment on the glass frame suppressed the blinking light from the eyes. Since the stimulation is reduced, even if the game is continued for a long time, it is possible to avoid the adverse effects such as leaving a feeling of fatigue as in the past or a decrease in eyesight, so that the game can be enjoyed. it can. Further, the present invention can be carried out by converting a plate glass attached to a glass mounting metal frame, or by attaching a translucent film to an existing transparent plate glass or inserting it between front and rear plate glasses. Moreover, since the transparency can be optionally selected by replacement, there is an advantage that it can be carried out in an appropriate state without damaging the decoration applied to the game board or the like.
