DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a transparent plate holding frame of a pachinko machine having a holder for holding a transparent plate.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art On the front side of a pachinko machine, glass, which is one of the transparent plates, is held by a holder of a transparent plate holding frame. The holder is provided with an entrance through which glass can be taken in and out from the side. With such a configuration, when the pachinko machine is used, the glass gets dirty in a day, and the glass is once taken out of the holding body and cleaned,
This is for returning to the holder again. Further, the reason why the glass is once taken out of the holding body and cleaned is that even if the glass kept in the holding body is cleaned, it is not possible to clean every corner. The holding body may be of a general type in which the glass can be taken in and out in addition to the type in which the glass can be taken in and out from the side. As the transparent plate, plastic or the like is used in addition to glass.

[0003]

However, in the type of holding member in which glass can be taken in and out from the side,
Workers need to support the glass when taking it in and out. Generally, glass has a considerable weight and is liable to be broken. Therefore, it has been necessary to carefully take out and put out the glass in a safe and reliable manner. On the other hand, in a type of holding body in which glass can be taken in and out from the upper side, the glass doorway in a state where the glass is attached to the pachinko machine is at a high position. For this reason, the entrance is difficult to see unless the user stretches out or uses a stepping board or the like, and it is difficult to take in and out the glass. For these reasons, in the conventional transparent plate holding frame of the pachinko machine, it takes a considerable amount of labor and time to put the glass in and out. The present invention has been made in view of such a point, and an object of the present invention is to provide a transparent plate holding frame of a pachinko machine that can safely, reliably, and easily perform the operation of inserting and removing the transparent plate.

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. Here, FIG. 1 shows a state in which the holder of the transparent plate holding frame is inclined, and FIG. 2 shows a state in which the holder of the transparent plate holding frame is almost upright. 3 and 4 are views showing the structure of the holder, FIG. 3 is a perspective view, and FIG. 4 is a plan view of the holder as viewed from above.

First, the configuration of the pachinko machine 10 will be described with reference to FIGS. In FIG. 1, on the front side of the pachinko machine 10, the transparent plate holding frame 16 is rotatable in the horizontal direction by unlocking the locking device 40. In this transparent plate holding frame 16,
A holder 24 for holding a glass 28, which is one of the transparent plates, is provided to be tiltable.

That is, the holder 24 rotates in the front-rear direction with respect to the transparent plate holding frame 16 around a fulcrum 26 provided at the lower end side of both the holding member 24 and the transparent plate holding frame 16. The holding body 24 is the transparent plate holding frame 1.
The fulcrum member 2 that is provided rotatably with respect to the base 18 provided on the side of the
2 is a support piece 2 movably provided in the elongated hole 20b.
By 0, the rotation range of the holding body 24 is regulated. Therefore, the holding body 24 can be rotated between a state where the holder 24 is most inclined as shown in FIG. 1 and a state where the holder 24 is almost upright as shown in FIG.

Here, as shown in FIG. 1, when the holding member 24 is in the most inclined state, the glass 28 is taken out obliquely upward (in the direction of arrow D4) from the entrance 30 or the glass 28 is obliquely moved downward (in the direction of arrow D). D6 direction). At this time, since the holder 24 is inclined, the entrance 30 is easy to see. In addition, glass 2
When putting in and taking out 8, the holding body 24 supports the glass 28, so that little force is required. Therefore, even when the transparent plate holding frame 16 is attached to the pachinko machine 10, it is possible to safely, reliably, and easily carry out the work of taking in and out the glass 28.

When the holding body 24 is to be housed in the transparent plate holding frame 16, the holding body 24 is first moved to the transparent plate holding frame 1.
6 (in the direction of arrow D2) so as to be substantially upright. Thereafter, the holding members 24 are hooked by turning the hooking pieces 12 and 14 that are rotatably provided with respect to the transparent plate holding frame 16. Thus, the holding body 24 is in the housed state as shown in FIG. It should be noted that if the retaining pieces 12 and 14 are turned to release the retaining state, and the holder 24 is inclined toward the near side (in the direction of the arrow D8), the original state shown in FIG. 1 is obtained.

Next, the specific structure of the holder 24 will be described with reference to FIGS. As shown in FIG. 3, the holder 24 includes a base 24a and a frame 24b. The base 24a is formed of a plate-like resin, and is provided with notches 32, 34 for hooking and a window 36 for a game board. As shown in FIG. 2, the retaining notches 32, 34 make the retaining piece 24 substantially upright, and
This is a notch for hooking 2,14. In addition, the game board window 36 is used by the game board 3 when the pachinko player is playing a game or the like.
8 is a hole for viewing. Further, the base 24a is formed in a T-shape at the ends of three sides other than the upper side. Therefore, the lower end of the T-shaped ends serves as the stopper 24f of the glass 28.

The frame 24b is fixed to the base 24a from the side by screws 24c and 24d. With the frame 24b, a gap between the lateral end (that is, the T-shaped portion) of the base 24a and the frame 24b becomes an entrance 30 through which the glass 28 enters and exits. A support piece 2 for supporting the holder 24 is provided on the frame 24b.
0 is fixed by a bolt 22a and a nut 22b with the fulcrum member 22 interposed therebetween. The fulcrum member 22 is formed to be movable in the long hole 20b of the support piece 20,
The nut 22b is housed in a housing groove 22c provided at the T-shaped end of the base 24a. The hole 20a provided in the support piece 20 is a hole for rotatably providing the support piece 20 on the base 18 shown in FIG. 1 with a screw or the like.

Further, in order to realize the fulcrum 26 shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, a hole is formed in the lower end of the frame 24b.
A half hole is provided at the lower end of the base 24a. Then, bolts 24e are passed through these holes from outside the transparent plate holding frame 16 to support the holding body 24 rotatably. The frame 24b, the fulcrum member 22 and the like are attached to the base 24a, and the holding body 24 in which the glass 28 is inserted is as shown in FIG.

With the above-described structure, the holding member 24 rotates about the fulcrum 26 within a range in which the fulcrum member 22 can move within the elongated hole 20b of the support piece 20. Therefore, when the holding pieces 24 are hooked with the holding body 24 substantially upright, the holding pieces 24 can be accommodated in the transparent plate holding frame 16. On the other hand, the holding body 24 releases the locking of the locking pieces 12 and 14.
Only Ru can be tilted to the front side with respect to the plane of the transparent plate holding frame 16. Then, the glass 28 (transparent plate) can be taken in and out from the upper side with the holder 24 being inclined. In a state where the holder 24 is inclined, the entrance 30 of the glass 28 (transparent plate) is easily visible, so that the operation of taking the glass 28 in and out can be performed safely, reliably and easily.

[Other Embodiments] The structure, shape, size, material, number, arrangement, operating conditions, and the like of other parts of the transparent plate holding frame of the above-described pachinko machine are limited to the above-described embodiment. Not something. For example, each of the following embodiments to which the above embodiment is applied may be implemented. (1) The stopper 24f provided on the base 24a of the holder 24 as shown in FIG. 3 is not limited to a linear shape, and may be formed in accordance with the shape of the lower half of the glass 28 (transparent plate) to be taken in and out. Good. For example, in the case of circular glass, the stopper 24f may be formed in a semicircular shape or along the game board window 36. This makes it possible to reliably hold glass having any shape.

(2) A flexible member may be integrally formed on the stopper 24f of the base 24a, or the flexible member may be separately mounted and mounted on or attached to the stopper 24f. As the flexible member, rubber, sponge, styrofoam, cloth, leather and the like are suitable. In this way, even if the glass 28 is released when the glass 28 is put into the holding body 24, the glass 28 can be prevented from breaking against the stopper 24f. (3) A guide for guiding the glass 28 (transparent plate) may be provided above the base 24a at the entrance 30. Specifically, one end is connected to the entrance 30 and is formed so as to expand toward the other end. In this way, the glass 28 can be positioned more quickly and easily by the guide, and can be put into the holder 24.

(4) The upper or lower side (or both sides) of the elongated hole 20b in the support piece 20 may be recessed in a plurality of steps so that the fulcrum member 22 can be hooked in each recess. In this case, the holder 24 can be inclined at a desired inclination angle by freely selecting any one of the plurality of recesses and hooking the fulcrum member 22. In this case, since the holding body 24 is inclined at an inclination angle at which the worker can easily work, it is possible to more safely, surely, and easily perform the work of taking the glass 28 in and out.
