And, regarding the set form of this game board, the type that is removable from the front side with the window component member on the front frame front open, and the back mechanism board on the back side of the front frame opened from the outer frame is opened or removed. There is a type that can be detached from the back side.

In any of these types, it is of utmost importance that the game board can be properly accommodated and set on the front side in the accommodation and holding frame, and under this condition, the gaming board is disposed on the accommodation and holding frame side. There is a strong demand for quick and easy attachment / detachment of the game board with a simple and easy operation, on the assumption that the respective engagement holding means (lock holding means) are engaged and released.

[0004]

In the conventional pachinko game machine, the above-mentioned technical requirements were not sufficiently satisfied, and it was difficult to say that it could be achieved. That is, as the engagement holding means for the game board, those made of synthetic resin or metal are mainly used, and in general, they are arranged on both upper and lower sides of the accommodation holding frame. However, since this means is of a type that can be operated from the back side of the front frame, the front frame must be opened each time when attaching and detaching the game board and engaging and releasing the means itself. Accompanied by annoyance. In particular, in the game board front side detachable type mentioned above,
There is a problem that the superiority of front side attachment / detachment cannot be fully utilized due to the restriction of the form of the engagement holding means.

By the way, in the conventional pachinko game machine, the front frame is generally made of wood (the wood is frame-molded), whereas the holding frame for the game board is mainly made of synthetic resin or metal. Molded ones are often used. Each of these housing and holding frames is a unified member of a limited predetermined size, and is normally stored separately from the front frame side, and in the manufacturing process of the gaming machine, one front frame is used. It is fixed for each. However, since the respective holding frames are likely to have an error as a whole, they may not be accurately positioned with respect to the front frame, and it takes a considerable amount of time and labor in the whole assembling work. Actually, when assembling the holding frame, the holding frame is aligned with the back side of the front frame that is positioned and set on the bed of the dedicated assembling machine and tightened and fixed with a number of screws. The holding frame may be displaced due to improper tightening.

[0006]
