【０００１】
【発明の属する技術分野】
この発明は、遊技者から透視できる機内の遊技盤面内にパチンコ球を打込んでゲームを行うことができるパチンコ遊技機において、前枠内部の遊技盤（ゲーム領域）を透視保護するための透視窓に関するものである。
【０００２】
【従来の技術】
パチンコ機やアレンジボール機に代表されるこの種の遊技機では、外枠の開口前面に、遊技領域を構成した遊技盤、ガラス窓、上下の球受け皿、打球発射装置、裏側の機構セット盤等の多くの遊技用構成部材を設置した前枠が開閉及び着脱可能に組付けられて１台単位とされている。そしてゲームホール内での実施にあたっては、一般に「島」と呼ばれている設置枠台に起立状態で固定保持された外枠に対して、遊技盤を収容セットした前枠全体が組付けられて遊技に供されている。このような遊技機にあって、遊技盤の透視保護窓とされるガラス窓については、最も一般的な形態のものとして、前枠の窓枠口内周囲に合せてビス止めセットされる金属製縦長方形の窓枠（金枠ともいう）の内側に、金属製正方形の扉枠が、その一側縁の縦支軸を連結して横開き形態で組付けられており、この扉枠内に前後２枚のガラスが挿入されて構成されている。なお、各メーカーの遊技機に実施されるガラス窓は、サイズ等に多少の差異があっても基本的には同様に構成されており、窓枠は、扉枠と上の球受け皿を取着セットした金属製横長方形のセット板とを開閉及び着脱可能に組付け得るサイズに成形されて、パチンコ遊技機の組立て製造工程で前枠に取着され、一方ガラスはパチンコ遊技機の設置後に扉枠に挿入される。
【０００３】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
ところが、前述した従来の遊技機において、前枠に設置されるガラス窓については、外郭フレーム用の窓枠とガラス挿入用の扉枠とによる内外二重の金属製複合枠形態であるために、枠部材の全体が重くなって複雑化する一方、扉枠のガラスが呈する透視面が好適に広くできない面があった。しかも双方の枠部材では、薄肉金属材を利用した高い剛性を奏する反面、常に露呈される金属表面（メッキ加工面）には、印刷やシール貼付等による装飾加工が施し難い。このため現になされている前枠表面の装飾面と枠部材の金属表面との双方において、色彩や図柄を含む装飾的な調和が取れない面があり、遊技機全体のグレードアップを図ることが難しい。また遊技機の製造工程におけるガラス窓の設置にあたっては、組立てライン外の専用機（ビス締め機）において、１台毎の前枠の窓枠口内周面に扉枠付きの窓枠を正確に位置決めセットした後、同機の運転により多数本のビス締めを行う工程が必要となり、その作業にかなりの手間と熟練を要し、生産性の向上が図り難い上、ビス締め不良による組付け不具を生じ易い問題があった。
【０００４】
一方、前述したガラス窓の枠部材について、製造、取扱いの面からみた場合、枠部材である窓枠と扉枠との個々の加工成形及び両枠部材の組付けに係る作業にかなりの複雑な手間がかかり、コスト高となって生産性の溢路ともなっていた。その上、窓枠及び扉枠は互いに組み付けられた状態で一つの枠部材製品とされるが、何分にも互いのサイズが異なる２重複合枠であることから、全体的に嵩張り、多くの枠部材製品を高く安全に上積み（重ね積み）することができず、また好適に箱詰め（梱包）することもできない。このため現実には、枠部材製品を定数個単位で縛ったままの状態で取扱っており、保管にあたってはかなり広いスペースが必要となり、一方、移送（運送）にあたっては一度に多くを好適に移送、積み降しすることができず、その取扱いに煩わしさがあった。このような状況にあって、近年に至っては、装飾加工、前枠への組付け、取扱い及び保管等が容易とされるフレームレス（窓枠なし）形態のガラス扉（透視窓）が新たに希求されつつある。
【０００５】
本発明は、前述した課題を好適に解決するべく提案されたものであって、フレームレス（窓枠なし）形態のガラス扉（透視窓）を前提として、前枠への組付け、取扱い、保管及び移送（運送）等を簡易にし、さらには任意の装飾加工を容易に可能にして、前枠や球受け皿等に対する色彩的な調和ひいては遊技機全体のグレードアップを図り得るようにしたパチンコ遊技機の透視窓を提供することを目的とするものである。
【０００６】
【課題を解決するための手段】
前述した課題を克服し、所期の目的を達成するため、本願請求項１の発明に係るパチンコ遊技機の透視窓は、外枠に開閉及び着脱可能に組付けられた合成樹脂成形の前枠の開口前面に、同前枠の正面内側にセットされた遊技盤を透視保護する透視窓が開閉及び着脱可能に組付けられるパチンコ遊技機において、前記前枠の開口前面側に成形されたセット面域に整合する方形サイズに合成樹脂成形されて表面に所要の装飾面を有すると共に中央部にゲーム領域用の窓口を開口した開閉扉と、前記窓口より適宜広い外郭枠サイズに合成樹脂成形されて方形状の透明板を出入れ自在に挿入保持し得る支持枠とを備え、開閉扉の裏側に対して支持枠を、前後への傾動及び上下への着脱を可能にする条件と透明板の挿入に必要な角度の傾動開放を許容する条件とで組付けセットして構成される一方、前記前枠と開閉扉とを、セット面域よりも前方域における側縁上下部に外枠に対する前枠の開閉連結支点と同一縦中心線上に整一させて配設された前枠側の支持具及び支持部に対して開閉扉側の分解開放位置と連結支持位置との間で昇降変位可能とされた支軸を嵌挿することにより連結して、前枠に対して開閉扉を横開き及び着脱可能に組付け支持すると共に、セット面域に整合収容状態で閉鎖セットし得るようにし、前記支持枠は、挿入溝を有する３本の枠杆と、挿入部を形成するための１本の支杆とを枠組連結して、正方形の前記透明板を出入れ自在に挿入保持し得る同一外郭サイズの方形枠として構成することにより、前記透明板の挿入部を左右の一側に開口した横入れ形態と、前記挿入部を上側に開口した縦入れ形態とに使用変更可能とし、その支持枠を横入れ形態と縦入れ形態の双方で使用可能となるように共通の構成サイズとした前記開閉扉の裏側に組付けセットしたことを特徴としている。
【０００７】
従って、本願請求項１の発明においては、合成樹脂成形の支持枠と、この支持枠を傾動開放可能に組付けセットし得る合成樹脂成形の開閉扉とから透視窓が構成されると共に、この支持枠には開閉扉におけるゲーム領域用の窓口よりも適宜広い方形サイズの透明板が挿入保持される。また開閉扉表面の装飾面により前枠や遊技盤に施された装飾との調和が図られる。一方、前枠への組付け、組外しに際しては、ビス締め機など特別な工具を用いなくても、前枠側の支持具及び支持部に対して開閉扉側の支軸を昇降変位させて嵌挿することにより前記開閉扉が前枠に対して連結される。そして前記開閉扉を横開きに開放したもとで開閉扉裏側の支持枠を傾動開放すれば、支持枠に対して透明板が挿入可能とされ、透明板の挿入後に開閉扉をセット面域に閉鎖セットすれば、透視窓の設置作業は完了する。即ち、透明板は前枠に対する透視窓の設置の前後を問わず何れの場合も可能とされ、設置前において未だ支持枠に透明板が挿入されていない透視窓については、前枠と別扱いの移送・保管が可能とされ、また上積み状態や起立並列状態の何れでも無理なく保管等でき、一度に多数枚を好適に梱包して移送、積み降しを楽に行い得る。加えて、開閉扉に対する支持枠の組付けに際し、支杆が左右いずれか一側となるように組付けすれば、透明板を横入れ可能な形態となり、支杆が上側となるように組付けすれば、透明板を縦入れ可能な形態となる。
【０００８】
又、本願請求項２の発明は、前記請求項１の発明において、前記横入れ形態の支持枠については、開閉扉の裏側に対して左右の一側部を開閉着脱用の適宜支持手段で連結支持する一方、反対側の他側部を適宜傾動規制手段で連結規制して必要角度の後向き傾動開放を可能にし、この他側部に形成した挿入部から前記透明板を横入れ可能な形態に構成したことを特徴としている。
【０００９】
従って、本願請求項２の発明においては、前記請求項１の発明の作用に加え、透明板を挿入する際に支持枠を後向きに傾動開放すると、その支持枠は適宜傾動規制手段により挿入に必要な所定角度の横開き状態に保持される。そのため、支持枠内へ透明板をより手早く確実に横入れ挿入し得る。
【００１０】
又、本願請求項３の発明は、前記請求項１の発明において、前記縦入れ形態の支持枠については、開閉扉の裏側に対して下側部を開閉着脱用の適宜支持手段で連結支持する一方、上側部を適宜傾動規制手段で連結規制して必要角度の後向き傾動開放を可能にし、この上側部に形成した挿入部から前記透明板を縦入れ可能な形態に構成したことを特徴としている。
【００１１】
従って、本願請求項３の発明においては、前記請求項１の発明の作用に加え、透明板を挿入する際に支持枠を後向きに傾動開放すると、その支持枠は適宜傾動規制手段により挿入に必要な所定角度の縦開き状態に保持される。そのため、支持枠内へ透明板をより手早く確実に縦入れ挿入し得る。
【００１２】
又、本願請求項４の発明は、前記請求項２の発明において、前記支持手段は、開閉扉に固定された受け具の支軸と前記支持枠を組付ける際に前記受け具の上方側に整合され前記支軸に対して上方側から嵌挿連結される前記支持枠に固定された支持具の軸孔とから構成され、前記傾動規制手段は、開閉扉に固定された支持具の長孔と前記支持枠を組付ける際に前記支持具の上方側に整合され前記長孔に対して上方側から嵌挿連結される前記支持枠に固定された掛け具の係合子とから構成されていることを特徴としている。従って、本願請求項４の発明は、前記請求項２の発明の作用に加え、支持枠は、支軸に対して軸孔を上方側に整合させると共に長孔に対して係合子を上方側に整合させた状態で、軸孔と係合子を支軸と長孔の上方側から嵌挿連結させることにより、開閉扉に組付けられる。また、支持枠は、開閉扉に組付けられた状態から上方側に移動させることにより、開閉扉から組外される。
【００１３】
又、本願請求項５の発明は、前記請求項３の発明において、前記支持手段は、開閉扉に固定された受け具の軸受部と前記支持枠を組付ける際に前記軸受部の上方側に整合され前記軸受部に対して上方側から嵌挿連結される前記支持枠に突出固定された支点軸とから構成され、前記傾動規制手段は、開閉扉に固定された止め具の係合アームと該係合アームが係脱可能に係合される前記支持枠に突出固定された係合ピンとから構成されていることを特徴としている。従って、請求項５の発明は、前記請求項３の作用に加え、支持枠は、軸受部に対して支点軸を上方側に整合させた状態で、支点軸を軸受部の上方側から嵌挿連結させると共に、係合アームを係合ピンに係合させることにより、開閉扉に組付けられる。また、支持枠は、係合アームを係合ピンから外し、上方側に移動させることにより、開閉扉から組外される。
【００１４】
【発明の実施の形態】
次に、本発明に係るパチンコ遊技機の透視窓につき、好適な実施形態を挙げて添付図面を参照しながら以下詳細に説明する。尚、本実施形態では、前枠の正面内部にパチンコ球用の遊技盤がセットされた一般的なパチンコ機における透視窓を主に示す。
【００１５】
本実施形態のパチンコ機は、その基本的構成の概要として、図１及び図２に略示するように、機体の外郭をなす縦長方形の外枠Ａの開口前面側に、各種の遊技用構成部材をセットする縦長方形の前枠Ｂが連結支持手段及び施錠手段を利用して開閉及び着脱可能に組付けられている。そしてこの前枠Ｂの前面側に、遊技盤Ｃの透視保護窓である後述のガラス窓Ｄと、上の球受け皿Ｅとが個々の連結支持手段等を利用して共に横開き形態で開閉可能に組み付け整合される一方、前枠Ｂの下部に下の球受け皿Ｆ及び打球発射装置Ｇ等が装着セットされ、また前枠Ｂの裏側に各種の球経路及び球処理・払出部等を備えた機構セット盤Ｈがセットされている。なお外枠Ａは、合成樹脂成形された４本の枠部材の内、上枠杆１及び左枠杆２を共通使用し、サイズの変更された右枠杆３同士及び下枠杆４同士を交換使用して枠組み連結することにより、一般に「関東枠」「関西枠」と呼称区分されている２種の規格的サイズの縦長方形枠に構成変更し得る形態のものを例示する。
【００１６】
本実施形態のパチンコ機の搭載枠とされる前記前枠Ｂは、保持枠１１を合せた全体が合成樹脂成形されたもので、基本的には図１〜図３に示すように、外枠Ａの開口前面域に適合する外形サイズに成形されて内側に正面縦長方形の窓枠口６を開口した枠体５と、この枠体５の裏側に一体成形されて窓枠口６の正面内部に臨むセット口１２を開口した遊技盤用の保持枠１１とが前後に連設された内外二重枠形態とされている。そして枠体５においては、窓枠口６の下部に下の球受け皿Ｆや打球発射装置Ｇの打球部Ｇ２等を設置するための設置盤７が成形されて、その中央部に賞球用の給出口８が開口され、また窓枠口６の上縁部及び右縁部に亘り電光装飾部９を設置するための設置部１０が成形されている（図３参照）。一方、保持枠１１においては、図２，３に示すごとく、窓枠口６の下部内側に位置する遊技補助盤１３が一体成形されており、この補助盤１３の上端縁を基準にして遊技盤用のセット口１２が開口されている。そして遊技補助盤１３には、アウト路１４の他に、賞球用の給出口１５及び球回収路１６等が成形されると共に、スピーカ１８を内蔵した球受けケース１７及び発射レール１９がセットされている。
【００１７】
前述した前枠Ｂにおいて、窓枠口６は、前面側から出入れ（着脱）される遊技盤Ｃのセット面域及び出入れ口ともされ、その下部開口面域内で上の球受け皿Ｅを組付けセットし得るようになっている。そして図２，３に示すように、窓枠口６の開口前面の３周縁（上縁及び左右の側縁）を凹設して、後述のガラス窓Ｄを整合収容し得るセット面域２０が成形されている。一方、前記保持枠１１のセット口１２の内周４箇所の隅部に成形された遊技盤用の係合部２１には、図示しないが回動式の施錠具がセットされている（特願平３−１５７８７５号参照）。なお前枠Ｂの細部に至るその余の構造は、図示程度に止めてその説明は省略する。
【００１８】
前述した外枠Ａに対する前枠Ｂの組付けについては、正面左側縁の上、下部に配設された開閉着脱用の支持手段２２，２８と、右側縁に装着された施錠装置３６を利用して、左右方向の開閉及び上下方向の着脱が可能に組付けられている。すなわち、図４，５に略示するように、上の支持手段２２では、外枠Ａの左上隅角部（上枠杆１と左枠杆２の連結部）に連結固定された支持具２３の座片２４上の支軸２５と、前枠Ｂの枠体５の左上隅角部の前面に膨出成形された軸受ボス部２６の支孔２７が嵌挿連結される。また下の支持手段２８では、外枠Ａの下枠杆４の左上隅角部の前面に膨出成形された支持ボス部２９上の支軸３０と、前枠Ｂの枠体５の左下隅角部の前面に膨出成形された軸受ボス部３１内の軸受スリーブ３２が嵌挿連結される。なお上下の支持手段２２，２８における連結支点中心は、パチンコ機の左側縁前面を通る同一縦中心線上に整合されており、このもとで前記軸受スリーブ３２のフランジ部分３３が、両枠Ａ，Ｂのスペーサ用の位置決め座とされて、下枠杆４上面の受け座３４と枠体５下面の支持座３５の上下重合分に整一されている（図１参照）。
【００１９】
また前記施錠装置３６については、在来のこの種遊技機に一般的に使用されている「ダブル錠型式」と同等のものが例として前枠Ｂの枠体５の右側縁内側に設置されており、基本的には図８，９に略示するように、共通の合鍵（図示せず）で解錠操作される錠機構部３７と、外枠Ａに対する前枠Ｂの第１施錠機構部３８と、前枠Ｂに対するガラス窓Ｄの第２施錠機構部４１とを備えて、夫々の機構部３８，４１には錠機構部３７の時計方向、反時計方向への回動操作により解錠される昇降施錠杆３９，４２が組付けられている。そして、外枠Ａに対する前枠Ｂの閉鎖整合状態において、第１施錠機構部３８の昇降施錠杆３９の上下の掛止片４０と、外枠Ａの右枠杆３の上下に配設された受け片４３が係合するようになっている。
【００２０】
前述した前枠Ｂに組付けられる前記ガラス窓Ｄは、従来の金属製窓枠を省略した合成樹脂製の横開き形態のものであって、形式としては、ガラス横入れ形式のガラス窓（以下、「第１のガラス窓」という。）Ｄと、ガラス縦入れ形式のガラス窓（以下、「第２のガラス窓」という。）Ｄが提案されると共に、双方が必要に応じて交換（選択）使用可能とされている。そして何れの形式のガラス窓Ｄについても、その基本的な構成として図１０に示すように、前記セット面域２０に整合する方形状に構成されて中央部に窓口４８を有する開閉扉４４と、この開閉扉４４の内側（窓口４８の裏側）に着脱及び傾動開放可能に組付けセットされる支持枠６５とが主体とされ、この支持枠６５に方形の透明板である板ガラス（２層ガラス形態を含む）７１を挿入して、全体が１つのフレームレス透視保護窓に構成されると共に、１つの窓部材として容易に取扱い、保管、移送ができるようになっている。そして、第１及び第２の各ガラス窓Ｄは、共に同様な支持・施錠技術を利用して、開閉及び着脱が可能に組付けセットされるようになっている。
【００２１】
そこで、まず第１のガラス窓Ｄを採用した場合における具体的な構成を図５〜図１６を参照して説明する。まず開閉扉４４では、外郭方形箱蓋状に成形された扉枠４５の裏側に裏板４６がビス等で結合されて、適正な強度を有する軽量な２重枠に構成されている。そして扉枠４５の前表面の装飾については、所要の色彩や図柄等を印刷した樹脂製フィルム状の装飾膜４７が、熱転写加工又はインモールド加工に基づいてきれいに貼付されている。また扉枠４５の中央部に開口された窓口４８については、前記遊技盤Ｃのゲーム領域に適する広さのほぼ円形状とされ、その内周囲の奥行方向に斜状（テーパー状）のリブ４９を成形してゲーム領域全体を好適に見通し得るようになっている。その余の構成として、窓口４８の周囲に複数個のランプレンズ５１が一体に膨出成形されて、その裏側にランプ（例えば、ＬＥＤランプや豆球ランプ）５２ａを配置接続した基盤５２がビス着されて、ゲーム用の照明部５０が構成されている（図１１参照）。また窓口４８の水平部下方の前面に複数個の係止突条５３が配設されて、ゲームサービス用の案内プレート５４が着脱可能に差込み保持し得るようになっている（図１，６，１３参照）。なお、窓口４８の水平部両側には左右一対の確認窓４８ａが形成され、この確認窓４８ａを通して遊技盤Ｃの前面下部に貼着された証紙をガラス窓Ｄの表外側から目視できるようになっている（図１，１０参照）。
【００２２】
前記扉枠４５は、透明樹脂材によるものが好適とされる。このもとで、前述の装飾施工（装飾膜４７の貼付）について、熱転写加工例では扉枠４５の成形後に、またインモールド加工例では扉枠４５の成形時にそれぞれ行われるもので、窓口４８のリブ４９の表面及び各ランプレンズ５１の表面に亘って施してもよい。なお、照明部５０のランプレンズ５１については、図１２に例示するように別成形された所要形状のランプレンズ５１Ａを嵌着した形態としてもよい。ちなみにランプ５２ａの基盤５２に接続される配線（図示しない）は、図１１に略示するように前枠Ｂ側の保持枠１１の所要位置に開口された口１１ａを通して遊技盤Ｃ裏側の基盤（図示しない）に接続し得るようになっている。そして前記案内プレート５４は、透明な薄肉帯状の樹脂板の表面に、当該パチンコ機のゲーム内容や遊技ホール内での営業サービス内容を文字や記号等で表記したものを対象例として、必要時に各係止突条５３を利用して扉枠４５の下部前面にセットされる。また扉枠４５の右側縁の中央部に摘み５５が形成されており（図８，９参照）、これを利用して解錠されたガラス窓（開閉扉４４）Ｄを開放し易くなっている。
【００２３】
そして前枠Ｂに対する開閉扉４４の組付けについては、正面左側縁の上下部に配設された開閉着脱用の支持手段５６，５６と、右側縁に装設された施錠部が利用される。すなわち、図４，５，７，１４に例示するように、上の支持手段５６では、枠体５の左上端部（前記上の軸受ボス部２６の直下方）の前面に固定された支持具５７の下片５８ａの軸孔５９ａと、扉枠４５の左上隅部内に成形された軸筒部６０の支軸６１とが嵌挿連結され、また下の支持手段５６では、枠体５左中段部に位置する支持部１１１の軸受スリーブ１１２と、扉枠４５の左下隅部内に成形された軸筒部６０の支軸６１とが嵌挿連結されて、開閉扉４４が左右への回動及び着脱が可能に支持されている。また、施錠部では、図８，９，１０に例示するように、前記施錠装置３６における第２施錠機構部４１の昇降施錠杆４２に対して、扉枠４５の右縁裏側の上下に固定された掛止片６４を係脱可能に係合して、開閉扉４４が閉鎖状態で施錠されるようになっている。
【００２４】
このような開閉扉４４の組付け技術において、前記上、下の軸筒部６０に挿通支持された夫々の支軸６１は、摘み６２を利用して昇降変位し得ると共に、扉枠４５の裏側に形成された位置決め部６３を利用して、連結支持位置と分離解放位置とに保持できる形態を例示する（図７参照）。また前記支持具５７は、コの字形のものを例としてその上片５８ｂの軸孔５９ｂを、前枠Ｂの上の軸受ボス部２６の支孔２７下面に整合して、外枠Ａの支持具２３の支軸２５を嵌挿し得る形態を例示する（図５，７，２１参照）。ちなみに図５中において、支持具２３の座片２４下面と上の支軸６１上端との間隔ｈは、支持具２３の支軸２５と上の軸受ボス部２６の支孔２７との嵌挿量より適宜大きく設定されている。そして前記左中段の支持部１１１は、後述する下の球受け皿Ｆの外郭体１０８の左上端に成形された例を示す。
【００２５】
前述した開閉扉４４の裏側に組付けセットされる前記支持枠６５では、図８，９に例示するガラス横入れ形態にあって、前後２列の挿入溝６７を有するレール枠状に成形された上下及び左の枠杆６６，６６を直角に枠組み連結すると共に、上下の枠杆６６の右端部間に補強用の支杆６９を着脱可能に連結して、２列の挿入溝６７の右端を開放して挿入部６７ａを有する方形枠に構成されており、挿入部６７ａから板ガラス７１を挿入セットし得るようになっている。各枠杆６６，６６及び支杆６９がなす開口面（ガラスの透視面）は、前記開閉扉４４の窓口４８より適宜広く形成されており、支杆６９は、上下の枠杆６６，６６に成形された支片部６８に対してビスで連結される例を示し、その両側の所要部分にガラス抜止め用の爪部７０が形成されている（図９，１６参照）。なお、このような支持枠６５では、支杆６９を一旦組外したもとで図９に例示するような２層ガラス（外周の封入保持枠７２ａに２枚の板ガラス７２ｂを予め封入セットしたタイプ）７２を挿入部６７ａから挿入溝６７に横入れし得るように構成してもよい。
【００２６】
そして、開閉扉４４に対する支持枠６５の組付けについては、左側の上下部に配設された開閉着脱用の支持手段７３と、右側下部に設置された傾動規制手段７８と、各位置に配置された施錠具８４が利用される。すなわち夫々の支持手段７３では、図７，８，９，１５に例示するように、扉枠４５の左裏側に固定された受け具７４の支軸７５と、支持枠６５の左端に固定された支持具７６の軸孔７７とが嵌挿連結されて、支持枠６５が前後への横開き傾動及び上下への着脱が可能に支持されている。また傾動規制手段７８では、支持枠６５の傾動案内及び開放規制を許容する形態として、図８，９，１６に例示するように、扉枠４５の右裏側下部に固定された支持具７９の水平片８０に、支持枠６５の右下端（下枠杆６６の右端）に固定された掛け具８２を載置すると共に、支持具７９の長孔８１に掛け具８２の係合子８３を嵌挿している。そして施錠具８４では、図６，１０，１５に例示するように、扉枠４５の裏側各部に回動可能に取着されて、その施錠片８５を支持枠６５の各杆６６，６９に弾性的に係合し得るようになっている。
【００２７】
このような支持枠６５の組付け技術において、上、下の支持手段７３は、板ガラス７１又は２層ガラス７２を含む支持枠６５全体の重量に充分耐えうる連結支持構造とされている。また傾動規制手段７８では、支持枠６５全体を安定した姿勢でガラスの横入れに必要な角度を開放し得るように支持しており、支持具７９の長孔８１を、支持手段７３の支点からの半径に基づいて形成している。そして各々の施錠具８４は、図１５に示すような回動レバー形式のものにあって、角軸状の操作具８９に対する角孔８６を有するタイプ又は操作用の摘み８７を有するタイプのものが例とされ、係合片８５を各杆６６，６９に形成した係合口８８に突入係合し得るものであってもよい。
【００２８】
前述のように構成された第１のガラス窓Ｄでは、その開閉支点つまり外郭開閉体である開閉扉４４に係る上、下の支持手段５６の支軸６１が、ともにセット面域２０の左側縁の外側に位置して前記外枠Ａに対する前枠Ｂの開閉連結支点と同一縦中心線上に整一されて、前枠Ｂと同様な横開き可能に組付けられている（図５，７参照）。このもとで前枠Ｂのセット面域２０内に整合収容された状態で閉鎖施錠保持される一方、前枠Ｂに対して９０度以上に開放して、窓枠口６を幅方向に全開して正面内部の保持枠１１並びに遊技盤Ｃを全面的に露呈し得るようになっている。そしてこのガラス窓Ｄの着脱については、開閉扉４４の適宜開放位置状態（図７参照）にあって、上、下の支軸６１を、分離解錠、連結支持の各位置に保持するだけの単純な操作により、手早く楽に行い得る。また板ガラス７１の挿入については、適宜開放された開閉扉４４に対する支持枠６５の傾動開放状態（図９参照）にあって、挿入部６７ａから２列の挿入溝６７に手早く楽に横入れし得る。

次に、第２のガラス窓Ｄを採用した場合について説明する。このタイプのガラス窓Ｄでは、ガラスの縦入れ形態であるものの、基本的には前述した第１のガラス窓Ｄの場合と同様に、前枠Ｂのセット面域２０に合せて組付けられる開閉扉４４に支持枠６５を組付けて構成されている。そこで第２のガラス窓Ｄについては、第１のガラス窓Ｄの開閉扉４４の基本構成をそのまま共通使用する前提にあって、開閉扉４４の説明を援用し、縦入れ用の支持枠６５及び関連部分の具体的な構成を図１７〜２０を参照して説明する。すなわち開閉扉４４の窓口４８裏側に合せて組付けセットされる支持枠６５では、２列の挿入溝６７を有する左右及び下の枠杆６６，６６を直角に枠組連結すると共に、左右の枠杆６６の上端部間に支杆６９を着脱可能に横連結して、挿入部６７ａを有する方形枠に構成されており、この挿入部６７ａから板ガラス７１又は２層ガラス７２を挿入溝６７にセットし得るようになっている。なお、支杆６９は、左右の枠杆６６の支片部６８にビスにて連結される例を示す。
【００３０】
そして、開閉扉４４に対する支持枠６５の組付けについては、両者４４，６５の左右下端に配設された開閉着脱用の支持手段９１と、左右上部に配設された傾動規制手段９５等が利用される。すなわち夫々の支持手段９１では、図１７，１８，１９に例示するように、扉枠４５の裏側下部に固定された受け具９２の軸受部９３と、支持枠６５の下端（下枠杆６６の各端）に突出固定された支点軸９４とを嵌合して、支持枠６５が前後への傾動及び上下への着脱が可能に支持されている。また夫々の傾動規制手段９５では、支持枠６５の傾動（開放）規制を図る形態として、図１７，１８，１９に例示するように、扉枠４５の裏側中央部に固定された止め具９６の係合アーム９７における係合口９８と、支持枠６５の各側上部（左右の枠杆６６の上部）に突出固定された係合ピン１００とを係脱可能に係合するようになっている。そして扉枠４５の裏側各部に配置した施錠具８４の係合片８５を、支持枠６５の各杆６６，６９に弾性的に係合して固定化保持し得るようになっている（図１７参照）。
【００３１】
このような支持枠６５の組付け技術において、左右の支持手段９１は、板ガラス７１又は２層ガラス７２を含む支持枠６５全体の重量に充分耐えうる支持構造とされている。また左右の傾動規制手段９５は、支持枠６５全体を安定した姿勢でガラスの縦入れに必要な開放角度に支持し得、係合アーム９７を摘み９９で回動（傾動）し得るようになっている。そしてこの規制手段９５については、別例として図２０に示すように、扉枠４５の裏側に固定された止め具９６の係合ピン１００と、支持枠６５の左右の枠杆６６にピンで支持されたＬ形状の係合アーム９７の第１、第２係合口９８ａ，９８ｂを夫々係合可能にして、支持枠６５を正姿セット位置と傾動開放位置とに規制し得るようにした形態例でもよい。なお支持枠６５の支杆６９は、図２０に例示するように、左右の枠杆６６の上端間に合せてビス連結されるタイプでもよく、これに対して施錠具８４は、前例と同様に係合片８５を支杆６９の係合口８８に突入係合するものであってもよい。
【００３２】
従って、前述のように構成された第２のガラス窓Ｄにおいても、前例の第１のガラス窓Ｄと同様な開閉支点で組付けられて、保持枠１１並びに遊技盤Ｃを全面的に露呈し得、そして上、下の支持手段５６の各支軸６１を各位置に保持するだけで、手早く楽に着脱し得る。またガラスの挿入については、開放された開閉扉４４に対する支持枠６５の傾倒開放状態（図１７参照）にあって、２列の挿入溝６７の開口上端の挿入部６７ａから手早く楽に縦入れし得る。なお第１及び第２双方のガラス窓Ｄにあっては、互いの交換使用を可能とすべく、開閉扉４４同士を共通の構成サイズとした前提において、２枚の板ガラス７１（２層ガラス７２の場合を含む）を正方形とする場合には、互いの支持枠６５を同一コ字外郭サイズの基本枠に構成することにより、横入れ用横向きコの字枠と、縦入れ用縦向きコの字枠とに使用変更可能となり、支持枠６５を含めてガラス窓の構成の共通化を図ることができる。
【００３３】
一方、前記上の球受け皿Ｅは、図１，２に示すように、ガラス窓Ｄを組付けた前枠Ｂの窓枠口６の下方面域に開閉及び着脱が可能に組み付けられている。この球受け皿Ｅは、それ自体が合成樹脂成形された複数の構成部材を組付けてユニット化されて、その裏側に薄肉金属製で横長方形のセット板１０２が取着されており、そして皿本体１０１の左側部が横開き用の連結支持手段により回動及び着脱可能に支持され、またセット板１０２の右側裏面に取着された掛け具（図示しない）が、窓枠口６の右下内側に設置された施錠具１０３に係脱可能に係合できるようになっている。なお球受け皿Ｅの連結手段については、図１及び図３に示すように、枠体５の設置盤７の左前面に固定された支持具１０４の支軸１０５と、開閉板である前記セット板１０２の左前面に固定された掛止筒具１０６とが嵌挿連結された形態例を示す。
【００３４】
また上の球受け皿Ｅは、図示のように正面が横長矩形を、平面が両端斜状の台形を呈する外郭形状のものとされており、そして同皿Ｅには、前記賞球用の給出口１５や球回収路１６に対する連絡部１０７の他に、球受け部、球送り部、球抜き部等が成形され、またセット板１０２は、その上端縁が前記ガラス窓Ｄの下端縁、つまり開閉扉４４の扉枠４５の下縁内側と噛合状態で水平に整合して、外部から内部への異物（針金等）の侵入を防止し得るようになっている（図６参照）。ちなみに球受け皿Ｅは、前記支持具１０４の支軸１０５を基点として前枠Ｂに対して約９０度位で全開状態とされている。
【００３５】
これに対して前記下の球受け皿Ｆは、前枠Ｂの枠体５の設置盤７前面に合せて設置されている。この球受け皿Ｆは、前述した上の球受け皿Ｅの載置台を兼用するタイプとして図１，２に示すように、上、下面を水平状にして枠体５と同幅にした平面台形状の外郭体１０８に、複数の構成部材を組付けてユニット化されており、外郭体１０８の下面を枠体５の下端縁より少し高くし、外郭体１０８の上面を窓枠口６の下縁より適宜高くした位置に合せて固定されている。そして外郭体１０８の内側に賞球用の受け部１０９及び前記機構セット盤Ｈの賞球排出路側に連通される給出口１１０等が成形されており、また外郭体１０８の左側上端に前記ガラス窓Ｄに係る支持部１１１が一体に成形されている。なお外郭体１０８の右側斜部に前記打球発射装置Ｇの操作ハンドル部Ｇ１がセットされ、また外郭体１０８の左部上面に前記上球受け皿Ｅに係る支持具１０４の支軸１０５が垂立に突出されている。
【００３６】
次に、本実施形態のパチンコ機における透視窓の作用について説明する。
さて、前述のように構成されたパチンコ機では外枠Ａに対する前枠Ｂに、前述したガラス窓Ｄ、上下の球受け皿Ｅ，Ｆ、打球発射装置Ｇ、遊技盤Ｃ、機構セット盤Ｈおよび各種の付属部品等の遊技用構成部材がセットされて１台単位に構成される。そしてゲームホール内の設置枠台に所定の傾き起立姿勢で配置された外枠Ａに、前述の前枠Ｂ全体が組付けられることにより、在来のパチンコ機と同様な縦型弾球遊技機として遊技に供し得る。このもとで通常の打球発射操作を行うことにより、上の球受け皿Ｅ内の遊技球を１球ずつ発射レール１９に送り込むと共に、打球杆５９で打出して遊技盤Ｃ内でパチンコゲームを展開することができる。
【００３７】
そこでこのようなパチンコ機にあって、前枠Ｂに対するガラス窓Ｄの組付け並びに実施状況について、以下に説明する。
先ず、第１のガラス窓Ｄ（ガラス横入れ形式のもの）を採用した場合について説明する。このガラス窓Ｄにおいては、開閉扉４４を図２，７に示すような前枠Ｂに対する開放状態の向きにして、その左上隅部及び左下隅部を前枠Ｂにおける枠体５の左上端部に固定された支持具５７及び左中段部に位置する支持部１１１にそれぞれ整合させる。そして図７に示すように、扉枠４５における左上隅部の支軸６１を下方の分解開放位置から上方の連結支持位置に上昇変位させて支持具５７における下片５８ａの軸孔５９ａへ嵌挿する一方、左下隅部の支軸６１を上方の分解開放位置から下方の連結支持位置に下降変位させて支持部１１１の軸受スリーブ１１２に嵌挿する。これにより、図５に示すように、開閉扉４４はその開閉連結支点がセット面域２０よりも前方域において外枠Ａに対する前枠Ｂの開閉連結支点と同一縦中心線上に整一されて横開き可能に組付けされる。
【００３８】
次に、前述のように組付けた開閉扉４４を前枠Ｂに対し開放状態としたもとで、支持枠６５における上下の支持具７６を扉枠４５裏側の上下の受け具７４に上方側からそれぞれ整合させる。そして、図７に示すように、前記各受け具７４の支軸７５に各支持具７６の軸孔７７を嵌挿することにより、支持枠６５は開閉扉４４の裏側において前後への横開き傾動可能に組付けされる。その後、前記支持枠６５を図９に示すように、開閉扉４４の裏側において支軸７５を支点として後方側へ傾動開放し、掛け具８２の係合子８３を支持具７９における長孔８１の後端縁に係合させることにより、支持枠６５は扉枠４５に対してガラス挿入に必要な適宜の傾動開放角度をもって横開き状態に保持される。
【００３９】
このもとで支持枠６５における挿入部６７ａから２層ガラス７２（板ガラス７１でもよい。）を挿入溝６７に挿入セットし、その後、図９及び図１６に示すように、ガラス抜止め用の爪部７０が形成された支杆６９を上下の枠杆６６，６６の支片部６８にビスで連結する。そして前記支持枠６５を扉枠４５に重合するように復帰回動させて扉枠４５の各施錠具８４を回動操作すると、施錠具８４における各施錠片８５が支持枠６５の各杆６６，６９に弾性係合して支持枠６５は開閉扉４４の裏側に閉鎖セットされる。その後、開閉扉４４を後方側へ復帰回動させると、ガラス窓Ｄは前枠Ｂのセット面域２０に整合収容され、第２施錠機構部４１の昇降施錠杆４２に扉枠４５の掛止片６４を係合することにより、ガラス窓Ｄは前枠Ｂのセット面域２０に整合収容状態で閉鎖セットされる。なお、支持枠６５の挿入溝６７に対する２層ガラス７２（板ガラス７１でもよい。）の挿入セット作業は、支持枠６５を開閉扉４４に組付けセットする前に行ってもよい。
【００４０】
次に、第２のガラス窓Ｄ（ガラス縦入れ形式のもの）を採用した場合について説明すると、このガラス窓Ｄにおいても、開閉扉４４は、前記第１のガラス窓Ｄの場合と同様に横開き可能に組付けされる。そして、この第２のガラス窓Ｄにおいては、その組付けた開閉扉４４を前枠Ｂに対する開放状態としたもとで、扉枠４５裏側下部の受け具９２に支持枠６５の左右両下端から突出する支点軸９４を上方側から整合させる。そして、図１７に示すように、前記受け具９２の軸受部９３に前記支点軸９４を嵌合することにより、支持枠６５は開閉扉４４の裏側において前後への縦開き傾動可能に組付けされる。
【００４１】
その後、前記支持枠６５を図１７，１８に示すように、開閉扉４４の裏側において支点軸９４を支点として後方側へ傾動開放し、止め具９６の係合アーム９７における係合口９８を支持枠６５から突出する係合ピン１００に係合することにより、支持枠６５は扉枠４５に対してガラス挿入に必要な適宜の傾動開放角度をもって縦開き状態に保持される。そして、このもとで、前記第１のガラス窓Ｄの場合と同様に、板ガラス７１又は２層ガラス７２を支持枠６５の挿入溝６７に挿入セットし、その後、前記支持枠６５を扉枠４５に重合するように復帰回動させて扉枠４５の各施錠具８４を回動操作することにより、支持枠６５は開閉扉４４の裏側に閉鎖セットされる。そして、以後は第１のガラス窓Ｄの場合と同様に、閉扉４４を後方側へ復帰回動させて施錠操作をすると、ガラス窓Ｄは前枠Ｂのセット面域２０に整合収容状態で閉鎖セットされる。
【００４２】
なお、前述のように組付けられた夫々のガラス窓Ｄにおいては、開閉扉４４と支持枠６５とを予め組付けたもとで取扱い得ると共に前枠Ｂ側に設置できる。また夫々のガラス窓Ｄの取外しにあたっては、前枠Ｂに対する開放状態の位置において、前枠Ｂにおける支持具５７の軸孔５９ａ及び支持部１１１の軸受スリーブ１１２に対してそれぞれ嵌挿された扉枠４５の各支軸６１を、それぞれの連結支持位置から分解開放位置へ昇降変位させる。これにより、前枠Ｂに対する開閉扉４４の連結が解除されてガラス窓Ｄは簡単に取外しが可能とされる。
【００４３】
前述したように本実施形態のパチンコ機においては、ガラス窓Ｄを構成する開閉扉４４と支持枠６５とが共に合成樹脂成形されているので、ガラス窓Ｄ全体の軽量化を図ることができると共に、フレームレス（窓枠なし）形態の前提にあって透明樹脂からなる開閉扉４４が前枠Ｂのセット面域２０に整合する大型サイズに成形されているので、遊技盤Ｃ透視用の窓口４８を大きく確保することができる。また合成樹脂からなる開閉扉４４の扉枠４５表面には装飾膜４７の貼付等により簡単に装飾加工を施すことができるので、前枠Ｂや遊技盤Ｃとの色彩や図柄を含む装飾的な調和を取って遊技機全体のグレードアップを図ることができる。
【００４４】
また前枠Ｂに対するガラス窓Ｄの組付けについては、開閉着脱用の支持手段５６，５６を利用して、前枠Ｂ側の支持具５７及び支持部１１１に開閉扉４４側の支軸６１をそれぞれ所定の位置、条件で連結するだけで組付け得るので、パチンコ機の製造ライン部以外の別部所においても、ビス締め機など特別な道具を必要とせずに手早く簡単に組付け、組外すことができる。さらに開閉扉４４に対する支持枠６５の組付けについても支持手段７３，９１を利用して組付け、組外しを簡単に行うことができると共に、支持枠６５における支杆６９の位置を、開閉扉４４の裏面側から見て左側に設定して組付ければ、ガラス横入れ形式の第１のガラス窓Ｄに構成し得る一方、同支杆６９の位置を上側に設定して組付ければ、ガラス縦入れ形式の第２のガラス窓Ｄに構成することができ、単一規格の支持枠６５を２種類の形態に選択使用することができる。
【００４５】
その上、支持枠６５に対する板ガラス７１又は２層ガラス７２の挿入セットに際しては、開閉扉４４を横開き開放状態にしたもとで支持枠６５を後向きに傾動開放することにより挿入部６７ａをガラス挿入作業をし易い位置に変位させられるので、挿入溝６７に対する板ガラス７１等の挿入作業を簡単に行うことができる。しかも、傾動規制手段７８，９５により支持枠６５全体がガラス挿入に適した傾動開放角度に安定保持されるので、ガラス挿入セット作業をより確実に手早く行うことができる。
【００４６】
一方、前述したガラス窓Ｄの取扱い面では、開閉扉４４及びガラス挿入前の支持枠６５について、互いに組付けることにより１つの窓部材として容易に取扱い、保管、移送ができると共に、両者４４，６５の組付け前には、それぞれの製品毎に嵩張りなく揃えて積み重ねできるため、好適に箱詰め（梱包）して一度に多くを容易に移送、積み降しでき、保管に際しても小さなスペースで済み、取扱い及び保管等を簡便に行うことができる。
【００４７】
さらに、前述したガラス窓Ｄは、前枠Ｂに対する横開き可能な組付け状態にあって、その開閉連結支点がセット面域２０よりも前方域において外枠Ａに対する前枠Ｂの開閉連結支点と同一縦中心線上に整一されているので、ガラス窓Ｄを前枠Ｂに対して９０度以上に開放することができる。従って、ガラス窓Ｄを前枠Ｂにおける窓枠口６の幅方向に全開して正面内部の保持枠１１並びに遊技盤Ｃを全面的に露呈させることにより、遊技機の点検、修理作業を手早く楽に行うことができる。
【００４８】
なお、本発明は、以下のように変更して実施することも可能である。すなわち、本発明の対象とするパチンコ遊技機は、パチンコ機の他に、アレンジボール機（パチンコ球使用式の図柄組合せ遊技機）も含み、前枠Ｂに組付けられるガラス窓Ｄは、前述した第１及び第２の何れのガラス窓Ｄについても好適に実施し得、また交換使用できる。そして夫々のガラス窓Ｄの支持手段５６については、前述した形式以外も推奨される。例えば、図２１に略示するように、外枠Ａの支持具２３の支軸２５を中空軸とした場合には、外枠Ａに対する前枠Ｂの組付け（連結）後において、上の支軸６１の上端を、支持具５７の軸孔５９ａから支軸２５の軸孔２５ａに挿入できるようにしてもよい（同図中２点鎖線参照）。また上、下の支持手段５６の形態については、図２２に例示するようなバネ付き支軸形態、つまり軸筒部１２１の孔１２１ａ内に嵌挿される大径部１２２ａと小径の支点部１２２ｂ及び支杆部１２２ｃを有する支軸１２２をバネ１２３で付勢し、支点部１２２ｂをＬ字状の支点具１２４の軸孔１２４ａに嵌挿する一方、支杆部１２２ｃ外端に連結した摘み１２２ｄを軸筒部１２１に係止する形態でもよい。勿論、ねじ式交換形態を利用してもよい。そして施錠部及び支持枠６５の支持連結部分については、図示以外の形態も好適に使用し得る。
【００４９】
【発明の効果】
本願請求項１〜請求項５の発明によれば、フレームレス形態の透視窓を合成樹脂成形による開閉扉と支持枠とから構成できるので透視窓全体の軽量化を図り得ると共に、透明板が呈する透視面をゲーム領域用の窓口よりも広く確保でき、さらには開閉扉表面の装飾加工により前枠表面等の装飾との調和を取って組付けセットされる遊技機全体のグレードアップを図ることができる。また前枠に対する組付け、組外し、並びに開閉扉に対する支持枠の組付け、組外しを特別な道具を不要にして簡単に行い得ると共に、開閉扉に対して支持枠を傾動開放することにより透明板の挿入セット作業を手早く簡単に楽に行うことができる。しかも、透視窓の取扱いについては透明板の挿入セット前において嵩張りなく積み重ねできるため、好適に箱詰め（梱包）して移送、保管等を容易に行うことができる。加えて、開閉扉の裏面側における支杆の位置取りを適宜設定することにより、単一規格の支持枠を使用して横入れ形態又は縦入れ形態に適用することが可能となるとともに、支持枠と開閉扉を含む透視窓の構成の共通化を図ることができる。
【００５０】
加えて、本願請求項２又は請求項３の発明によれば、支持枠を開閉扉に対して傾動規制手段によりガラス挿入に適した傾動開放角度に安定保持し得るので、透明板の挿入セット作業をより手早く確実に行うことができる。

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a pachinko gaming machine capable of playing a game by hitting a pachinko ball into a game board surface in the machine that can be seen through from a player, and a see-through window for protecting the game board (game area) inside the front frame. It is about.
[0002]
[Prior art]
In this type of game machine represented by pachinko machines and arrange ball machines, a game board, a glass window, upper and lower ball trays, a ball hitting device, a mechanism set board on the back side, etc. are provided on the front surface of the outer frame opening. A front frame on which a large number of gaming components are installed is assembled so as to be openable and detachable, thereby forming a single unit. And when implementing in the game hall, the entire front frame containing the game board is assembled to the outer frame that is fixed and held in an upright state on the installation frame base generally called “island”. It is used for games. In such a gaming machine, a glass window that is used as a perspective protection window of the gaming board is a metal vertical frame that is set with screws according to the inner periphery of the window frame mouth of the front frame as the most common form. Inside a rectangular window frame (also referred to as a metal frame), a metal square door frame is assembled in a horizontally open form by connecting the vertical support shaft on one side edge of the door frame. Two pieces of glass are inserted. The glass windows used in each manufacturer's gaming machine are basically configured in the same way even if there are some differences in size, etc., and the window frame is attached to the door frame and the upper ball tray. It is molded into a size that can be assembled with a set of horizontal rectangular rectangular plates so that it can be opened and closed and detachable, and attached to the front frame in the assembly process of pachinko machines, while the glass doors are installed after the pachinko machines are installed. Inserted into the frame.
[0003]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
However, in the above-described conventional gaming machine, because the glass window installed in the front frame is an inner and outer double metal composite frame form with a window frame for the outer frame and a door frame for glass insertion, While the entire frame member is heavy and complicated, there is a surface that cannot be suitably widened by the perspective surface exhibited by the glass of the door frame. Moreover, both frame members exhibit high rigidity using a thin metal material, but the metal surface (plated surface) that is always exposed is difficult to be decorated by printing or sticking a sticker. For this reason, both the decorative surface on the front frame surface and the metal surface of the frame member that are currently used have a surface that cannot be harmonized in decorativeness including color and design, and it is difficult to upgrade the entire gaming machine. . In addition, when installing glass windows in the manufacturing process of gaming machines, a window frame with a door frame is accurately positioned on the inner peripheral surface of the window frame mouth of each front frame in a dedicated machine (screw fastening machine) outside the assembly line. After setting, the machine needs to be tightened with a number of screws, which requires a lot of work and skill, making it difficult to improve productivity, and resulting in poor assembly due to poor screw tightening. There was an easy problem.
[0004]
On the other hand, regarding the frame member of the glass window described above, when viewed from the viewpoint of manufacturing and handling, it is quite complicated for the work related to the individual processing of the window frame and the door frame, which are frame members, and the assembly of both frame members. It was time consuming, costly, and an overflow of productivity. In addition, the window frame and the door frame are assembled into one frame member product, but since they are double composite frames that are different in size from each other, they are generally bulky and many These frame member products cannot be stacked (stacked) safely and highly, and cannot be suitably boxed (packed). For this reason, in reality, the frame member product is handled in a state of being bound in a fixed number of units, and a considerably large space is required for storage. It was impossible to load and unload, and the handling was troublesome. Under these circumstances, a glass door (transparent window) in the form of a frameless (no window frame) that can be easily decorated, assembled to the front frame, handled and stored has been newly introduced in recent years. It is being sought after.
[0005]
The present invention has been proposed to suitably solve the above-mentioned problems, and is premised on a frameless (no window frame) type glass door (transparent window). And pachinko machines that can be easily transported (carried), etc., and can be easily decorated in any way, so that the color harmony with the front frame, ball tray, etc. can be improved, and the entire game machine can be upgraded. An object of the present invention is to provide a transparent window .
[0006]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
In order to overcome the above-mentioned problems and achieve the intended purpose, the see-through window of the pachinko gaming machine according to the invention of claim 1 is a synthetic resin-molded front frame that is detachably assembled to the outer frame. In a pachinko gaming machine in which a see-through window for see-through protecting a game board set inside the front frame of the front frame is removably assembled to the front surface of the front frame, the set surface formed on the front surface side of the front frame Synthetic resin molded into a square size that matches the area, and has a required decorative surface on the surface, and an opening / closing door with an opening for the game area at the center, and a synthetic resin molded to an outer frame size wider than the window A support frame that can insert and hold a rectangular transparent plate so that it can be inserted and removed freely. The support frame can be tilted back and forth with respect to the back side of the door, and the transparent plate can be inserted and removed. Allow tilting and opening at the required angle On the other hand, the front frame and the opening / closing door are arranged on the same vertical center line as the opening / closing connection fulcrum of the front frame with respect to the outer frame at the upper and lower sides of the side edge in the front area than the set surface area. Connected by inserting a support shaft that can be moved up and down between the disassembly open position on the door side and the connection support position with respect to the support and support part on the front frame side that are arranged in a uniform manner Then, the opening and closing door is assembled and supported so as to be openable and detachable sideways with respect to the front frame, and can be closed and set in the aligned accommodation state in the set surface area. The support frame has three insertion grooves. A frame frame and a single support for forming an insertion portion are connected in a frame manner to form a square frame having the same outer size that can be inserted and held in a square transparent plate. A horizontal insertion form in which the insertion portion of the transparent plate is opened to the left and right sides, and the insertion It is possible to change the use to the vertical insertion form opened on the upper side, and the assembly frame is set on the back side of the open / close door so that the support frame can be used in both the horizontal insertion form and the vertical insertion form. It is characterized in that the.
[0007]
Accordingly, in the invention of claim 1 of the present application, a see-through window is constituted by a synthetic resin-molded support frame and a synthetic resin-molded opening / closing door that can be assembled and set so that the support frame can be tilted and opened.

[0037]
Therefore, in such a pachinko machine, the assembly and implementation status of the glass window D with respect to the front frame B will be described below.
First, the case where the 1st glass window D (glass horizontal insertion type) is employ | adopted is demonstrated. In this glass window D, the open / close door 44 is in the open state orientation with respect to the front frame B as shown in FIGS. 2 and 7, and the upper left corner and the lower left corner are the upper left end of the frame 5 in the front frame B. Are respectively aligned with the support member 57 fixed to the support member 111 and the support member 111 located at the left middle step. Then, as shown in FIG. 7, the support shaft 61 at the upper left corner of the door frame 45 is displaced upward from the lower disassembly open position to the upper connection support position, and is inserted into the shaft hole 59a of the lower piece 58a in the support tool 57. On the other hand, the support shaft 61 at the lower left corner is moved downward from the upper disassembly opening position to the lower connection support position and is fitted into the bearing sleeve 112 of the support section 111. Accordingly, as shown in FIG. 5, the opening / closing connection fulcrum of the opening / closing door 44 is aligned on the same vertical center line as the opening / closing connection fulcrum of the front frame B with respect to the outer frame A in the front area of the set surface area 20. It is assembled so that it can be opened.
[0038]
Next, with the open / close door 44 assembled as described above in an open state with respect to the front frame B, the upper and lower support members 76 in the support frame 65 are moved upward to the upper and lower support members 74 on the back side of the door frame 45. To match each. Then, as shown in FIG. 7, the support frame 65 tilts sideways forward and backward on the back side of the open / close door 44 by inserting the shaft holes 77 of the support members 76 into the support shafts 75 of the support members 74. It is assembled as possible. Thereafter, as shown in FIG. 9, the support frame 65 is tilted and opened rearward with the support shaft 75 as a fulcrum on the back side of the opening / closing door 44, and the engaging element 83 of the hanging tool 82 is placed behind the elongated hole 81 in the support tool 79. By engaging with the edge, the support frame 65 is held in a laterally open state with an appropriate tilt opening angle necessary for glass insertion with respect to the door frame 45.

Under this condition, the double-layer glass 72 (or the plate glass 71) may be inserted and set into the insertion groove 67 from the insertion portion 67a of the support frame 65, and thereafter, as shown in FIG. 9 and FIG. The support rod 69 on which the portion 70 is formed is connected to the support piece portion 68 of the upper and lower frame rods 66, 66 with screws. Then, when the support frame 65 is returned and rotated so as to overlap the door frame 45 and each locking tool 84 of the door frame 45 is rotated, each locking piece 85 in the locking tool 84 is moved to each bar 66, The support frame 65 is closed and set on the back side of the opening / closing door 44 by elastically engaging with 69. Thereafter, when the opening / closing door 44 is returned and rotated to the rear side, the glass window D is accommodated in the set surface area 20 of the front frame B, and the door frame 45 is hooked on the lifting / lowering locking bar 42 of the second locking mechanism 41. By engaging the piece 64, the glass window D is closed and set to the set surface area 20 of the front frame B in an aligned storage state. Note that the insertion and setting operation of the two-layer glass 72 (or the plate glass 71) into the insertion groove 67 of the support frame 65 may be performed before the support frame 65 is assembled and set to the open / close door 44.
[0040]
Next, the case where the second glass window D (glass vertical insertion type) is adopted will be described. Also in this glass window D, the open / close door 44 is lateral as in the case of the first glass window D. It is assembled so that it can be opened. And in this 2nd glass window D, the opening / closing door 44 assembled | attached was made into the open state with respect to the front frame B, and the receiving frame 92 of the back side lower part of the door frame 45 is received from the both right and left lower ends of the support frame 65. The protruding fulcrum shaft 94 is aligned from above. Then, as shown in FIG. 17, the support frame 65 is assembled so that it can be tilted in the longitudinal direction on the back side of the opening / closing door 44 by fitting the fulcrum shaft 94 to the bearing portion 93 of the support 92. The
[0041]
After that, as shown in FIGS. 17 and 18, the support frame 65 is tilted and opened rearward with the fulcrum shaft 94 as a fulcrum on the back side of the opening / closing door 44, and the engagement port 98 in the engagement arm 97 of the stopper 96 is supported by the support frame. By engaging with the engagement pin 100 protruding from 65, the support frame 65 is held in a vertically open state with an appropriate tilt opening angle required for glass insertion with respect to the door frame 45. Then, similarly to the case of the first glass window D, the plate glass 71 or the two-layer glass 72 is inserted and set in the insertion groove 67 of the support frame 65, and then the support frame 65 is moved to the door frame 45. The support frame 65 is closed and set on the back side of the open / close door 44 by rotating the locks 84 of the door frame 45 so as to be overlapped with each other. Then, similarly to the case of the first glass window D, when the closing door 44 is returned and rotated backward, and the locking operation is performed, the glass window D is closed to the set surface area 20 of the front frame B in the aligned accommodation state. Set.
[0042]
Each glass window D assembled as described above can be handled with the door 44 and the support frame 65 assembled in advance and installed on the front frame B side. Further, when each glass window D is removed, the door frame inserted into the shaft hole 59a of the support member 57 and the bearing sleeve 112 of the support portion 111 in the front frame B at a position in an open state with respect to the front frame B. The 45 support shafts 61 are moved up and down from the respective connection support positions to the disassembly open position. Thereby, the connection of the opening / closing door 44 to the front frame B is released, and the glass window D can be easily removed.
[0043]
As described above, in the pachinko machine according to the present embodiment, the opening / closing door 44 and the support frame 65 that constitute the glass window D are both synthetic resin-molded, so that the entire glass window D can be reduced in weight. Since the opening / closing door 44 made of transparent resin is formed in a large size that matches the set surface area 20 of the front frame B under the premise of a frameless (no window frame) form, the game board C see-through window 48 Can be secured greatly. Further, the surface of the door frame 45 of the opening / closing door 44 made of synthetic resin can be easily decorated by sticking a decoration film 47 or the like, so that the decorative frame including colors and designs of the front frame B and the game board C is included. The entire game machine can be upgraded in harmony.
[0044]
Also, for the assembly of the glass window D to the front frame B, the supporting means 56 for opening and closing is used, and the support 61 on the front frame B side and the support shaft 111 on the opening / closing door 44 side are attached to the support member 111 on the front frame B side. They can be assembled by simply connecting them at the specified positions and conditions, so they can be assembled and disassembled quickly and easily without the need for special tools such as a screw-clamping machine at other locations other than the pachinko machine production line. be able to. Further, the support frame 65 can be assembled to the opening / closing door 44 by using the support means 73 and 91 and can be easily detached and the position of the support 69 on the support frame 65 is determined by the opening / closing door 44. If it is set to the left side as viewed from the back side of the glass and assembled, it can be configured as a first glass window D of a horizontal glass type. On the other hand, if the position of the support rod 69 is set to the upper side and assembled, It can be configured as a second glass window D having a container shape, and the single-standard support frame 65 can be selectively used in two forms.
[0045]
In addition, when the plate glass 71 or the double-layer glass 72 is inserted into the support frame 65, the insertion portion 67a is inserted into the glass by tilting and opening the support frame 65 rearward with the open / close door 44 opened sideways. Since the work can be displaced to a position where the work can be easily performed, the work of inserting the plate glass 71 or the like into the insertion groove 67 can be easily performed. In addition, since the entire support frame 65 is stably held at the tilt opening angle suitable for glass insertion by the tilt restricting means 78 and 95, the glass insertion setting operation can be performed more reliably and quickly.
[0046]
On the other hand, on the handling surface of the glass window D described above, the door 44 and the support frame 65 before inserting the glass can be easily handled, stored and transferred as one window member by assembling each other. Before assembling, each product can be stacked without being bulky, so it can be suitably packed (packed), and many can be easily transported and loaded at once, and it can be stored in a small space. Handling and storage can be performed easily.
[0047]
Further, the glass window D described above is in an assembled state in which the glass window D can be opened laterally with respect to the front frame B, and the opening / closing connection fulcrum thereof is an opening / closing connection fulcrum of the front frame B with respect to the outer frame A in the front area of the set surface area 20. Since they are aligned on the same vertical center line, the glass window D can be opened to 90 degrees or more with respect to the front frame B. Therefore, by fully opening the glass window D in the width direction of the window frame port 6 in the front frame B and exposing the entire front holding frame 11 and game board C, the inspection and repair work of the gaming machine can be performed quickly and easily. It can be carried out.
[0048]
The present invention can be implemented with the following modifications. That is, the pachinko gaming machine that is the subject of the present invention includes, in addition to the pachinko machine, an arrange ball machine (a pachinko ball-using pattern combination gaming machine), and the glass window D assembled to the front frame B is described above. Any of the first and second glass windows D can be suitably implemented and can be used interchangeably. And as for the support means 56 of each glass window D, those other than the types described above are recommended. For example, as schematically shown in FIG. 21, when the support shaft 25 of the support 23 of the outer frame A is a hollow shaft, the upper support after the front frame B is assembled (connected) to the outer frame A. The upper end of the shaft 61 may be inserted into the shaft hole 25a of the support shaft 25 from the shaft hole 59a of the support tool 57 (see the two-dot chain line in the figure). As for the form of the upper and lower support means 56, a support shaft with a spring as illustrated in FIG. 22, that is, a large-diameter portion 122a and a small-diameter fulcrum portion 122b fitted into the hole 121a of the shaft tube portion 121, A support shaft 122 having a support portion 122c is urged by a spring 123, and the support portion 122b is fitted into the shaft hole 124a of the L-shaped support tool 124, while a knob 122d connected to the outer end of the support portion 122c is provided. The form which latches to the axial cylinder part 121 may be sufficient. Of course, you may utilize a screw-type exchange form. And about a support connection part of a locking part and the support frame 65, forms other than illustration can be used conveniently.
[0049]
【The invention's effect】
