DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a cover member, and more particularly to a structure for attaching a cover member to a mating member.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, a cover member is attached to a mating member by using a screw, a rivet, a swage, or the like in the case of a center cover attached to the back of a game board of a pachinko game machine. As another method of attaching the center cover to the back of the game board, as shown in FIG. 9, a hook 1 provided on the back of the game board is engaged with an engaging recess 3 provided on the center cover 2. I was

[0003]

However, when a screw or the like is used, it takes time to attach and remove the center cover, and it takes time to remove the center cover. There is a problem that it takes time to maintain and manage the system. In addition, since the attachment using a screw or the like is originally intended for permanent fixing, there is also a problem that there is a high possibility that the game board or the center cover itself is damaged at the time of removal. On the other hand, when the center cover is fixed to the back surface of the game board using the hook, the above problem is small, but there is a problem that the center cover is displaced due to the weight of the center cover and the mounting reliability is poor. . An object of the present invention is to provide a cover member with a mounting member that can be easily attached and detached and has a high attachment reliability in which the displacement of the cover member from a mating member does not occur. With the goal.

[0004]

In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, a structural feature of the invention according to the first aspect of the present invention resides in that one end of the plate is provided at one end so as to be substantially parallel to the surface of the plate. And a cover member provided with an attachment piece having a horizontal plate portion provided with an engagement hole on the back surface side and a vertical plate portion provided on the other end of the horizontal plate portion toward the front surface side of the plate-like body. A vertical plate portion comprising: a locking plate portion provided on a long plate and provided with a locking piece on one side; and a mounting member having a positioning convex portion provided on the locking piece side of the long plate. Is fixed to the mounting member by the locking piece, and the mounting member is mounted on the cover member by fitting the engaging hole to the positioning projection, thereby integrating the mounting member.

According to a second aspect of the present invention, there is provided a cover member with a mounting member according to the first aspect, wherein an engaging projection is provided instead of the engaging hole in the horizontal plate. In addition, a positioning hole is provided in the long plate instead of the positioning projection.

According to a third aspect of the present invention, in the cover member with the mounting member according to the first aspect, a locking piece is provided on an outer surface of the vertical plate portion, and the locking plate is provided. That is, the locking piece of the part is removed.

According to a fourth aspect of the present invention, in the cover member with the mounting member according to the third aspect, an engaging projection is provided on the horizontal plate instead of the engaging hole. In addition, a positioning hole is provided in the long plate instead of the positioning projection.

According to a fifth aspect of the present invention, in the cover member with an attachment member according to any one of the first to fourth aspects, at least one of the attachment member and the vertical plate portion is made of an elastic material. It was formed by.

[0009]

According to the first aspect of the present invention, the cover member is firmly fixed to the mounting member by locking the mounting piece to the locking plate. Further, the cover member can easily release the lock by the mounting member by slightly bending the locking plate portion of the mounting member. Further, since the engagement hole of the mounting piece is fitted into the positioning projection of the mounting member, there is no displacement between the cover member and the mounting member. By attaching the cover member integrated with the attachment member to the mating member in this way, the cover member can be attached to the mating member via the attachment member without displacement. Further, since the lock between the cover member and the mounting member can be easily released, the cover member can be easily opened from the counterpart member, which is convenient when performing maintenance and inspection of the counterpart member.

Further, by configuring the invention according to claim 2 as described above, the same effect as that of the invention according to claim 1 can be obtained.

Further, by configuring the invention according to claim 3 as described above, the same effect as the invention according to claim 1 can be obtained.

Further, by configuring the invention according to claim 4 as described above, the same effect as that of the invention according to claim 1 can be obtained.

[0013] In addition, by configuring the invention according to claim 5 as described above, the locking and release of the cover member and the mounting member can be easily performed, and the effect of the invention according to claim 1 can be easily achieved. Can be obtained.
