[Prior art]

 In the conventional pachinko machine, the part where the hit ball rolls down is of a front single-opening door type, and two front and rear glass plates are inserted into the frame from the upper edge of the door frame (Fig. 1). reference). Of the two glass plates, the outer glass plate protects the machine inside from the hands, dust, cigarette tar, etc. of the player playing the game. The glass on the inner surface serves to prevent the pachinko ball rolling inside from protruding from the game board surface. However, the outer glass surface is contaminated by oil and fat components of human hands, cigarette tar and dust that adheres to the tar. In addition, the inner surface of the inner glass can be streaked by the rust preventives attached to the pachinko balls and hand stains.

Therefore, when these stains become severe, those who play the game cannot see the game board surface clearly through the glass plate, and their interest in the game is significantly reduced. Therefore, in a pachinko parlor, it is necessary to wipe the glass surfaces of the two front and back sides of this glass plate, but the two glass plates are fitted by dropping them from the upper edge as described above. Since the glass plate usually weighs about 1 kg, the work of pulling it up requires a considerable amount of work, and the impact of dropping it often breaks the glass plate, increasing the cleaning cost. Also, in order to prevent the glass plate from being damaged, wiping work is still performed with the glass plate still fitted, and the peripheral parts of the glass plate cannot be wiped sufficiently, and the inner surfaces of the two glass plates facing each other are completely absent. They will not be wiped away, and these dirt residues will diminish the interest of the game.
