2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, a drive shaft of a pair of opening / closing members provided on the front surface of a mounting substrate is extended behind the mounting substrate, and is vertically moved by the operation of a link member fixed to the rear end of the driving shaft and a solenoid. There have been proposed a number of variable winning devices for pachinko machines in which an opening and closing operation of the opening and closing member is performed by engaging with an operating member to be operated. And in such a variable winning device, in most cases, the solenoid is arranged in parallel with the mounting substrate in order to move the operating member up and down.

[0003]

For this reason, when a variable winning device in which the height of the mounting board is smaller than the height of the solenoid is mounted on the game board, the variable winning device excluding the solenoid is placed in front of the game board. After that, it is necessary to mount a solenoid from the back of the game board to complete the variable prize winning device, and mounting the variable prize winning device on the game board is complicated and time-consuming. The present invention
In view of the above-mentioned circumstances, the purpose is to provide a pachinko machine in which the height of the mounting board is a variable prize device smaller than the height of the solenoid and can be easily mounted on a game board. A variable winning device is provided.

[0004]

In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, according to the present invention, a drive shaft of a pair of opening / closing members provided on a front surface of a mounting board is extended behind the mounting board, and the drive shaft is driven. In a variable winning device of a pachinko machine wherein a link member fixed to a rear end of a shaft and an operating member which moves up and down by operation of a solenoid are engaged to open and close the opening and closing member, the solenoid is attached to the Attachment is made in a direction perpendicular to the substrate, the operating member is formed in an L-shape, and the intersection of the long side and the short side is pivotally supported, so that the L-shaped long side is substantially parallel to the solenoid. At the same time, the solenoid is connected to the end of the L-shaped short side,
The link member is engaged with an end of an L-shaped long side.

[0005]

When the solenoid is turned on, the short side of the operating member is sucked, and the tip of the long side of the operating member swings up and down about the support shaft. This vertical movement is transmitted to the drive shaft via the link member to open the opening / closing member. In this case, since the solenoid and the operating member are mounted in a direction orthogonal to the mounting board, the solenoid and the operating member can be assembled beforehand within the height dimension of the mounting board. By simply mounting the entire winning device from the front of the game board, the device can be easily mounted in a short time.
