[0002]
[Prior art]
In a conventional gaming machine, for example, a pachinko gaming machine that is a typical gaming machine, a so-called glass frame is provided on the front frame so that the gaming area of the gaming board can be seen from the front. Since the glass frame is made of metal, it is difficult to directly attach decorative parts such as a lamp display. For this reason, conventional pachinko machines have decorative parts such as lamp indicators placed on the top surface of the front frame and on the top left and right of the game board, and these wires are inserted in through holes that penetrate from the front side to the back side of the front frame. The through hole was covered with a mounting base such as a lamp indicator.
[0003]
However, in recent years, in order to improve the decorativeness, a front cover member using a lot of plastic is attached instead of the metal glass frame covering the front surface of the front frame. Since the front cover member not only enhances the coloring effect but also easily forms a complex shape, it is easier to attach an electrical decorative part such as a lamp display than a conventional glass frame.
[0004]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
However, when an electric decorative part is attached to the front cover member, this electric decorative part must be controlled by a control device provided on the back side of the game board, and the front cover member opens and closes with respect to the front frame. Therefore, it is not sufficient to provide wiring on the back side of the front cover member, and further, this wiring must be passed from the front side to the back side of the front frame in a state that does not hinder the opening and closing of the front cover member.
[0005]
When separately opening a hole for wiring through the front frame, the area of the front frame that overlaps the front and rear with the front cover member closed is small, and it is difficult to open a hole for wiring through this narrow part. In addition, it was extremely difficult to open the front cover member without opening or closing the front cover member. Moreover, if it opens in the front frame of the position remove | deviated from the front cover member, a space will become still narrower, and it will be difficult to attach the member which covers this hole, and a appearance will worsen.
Further, when a wiring through hole is forcibly opened in the front frame, the work of passing the wiring through the hole is troublesome in the assembly work of the gaming machine, and the work efficiency is greatly reduced.
[0006]
The present invention has been proposed in view of the above, and an object of the present invention is to provide a gaming machine that can easily pass the wiring of the electrical decoration member provided on the front cover member from the front side to the back side of the front frame. Is.

In the present embodiment, a recess 83 is formed at the opening inner edge of the opening of the front frame 2 positioned in front of the through opening 15, and a recess 84 is formed in the base plate 79 on the surface of the front frame 2. Since the concave portion 85 is also formed in the mounting piece of the game board storage frame 6 at a position corresponding to the concave portion 83 of the frame 2, the wiring 63, 67, 75 drawn from the front cover member 3 can be naturally bent without being bent. It can be passed through the through opening 15 in a state.
[0025]
The recesses 83, 84, and 85 may be appropriately formed depending on the relative positional relationship between the position where the wirings 63, 67, and 75 are drawn out and the through opening 15. For example, as shown in FIG. When the wirings 63, 67, 75 drawn from the member 3 are located at the same position as the opening edge of the opening of the front frame 2, it is difficult to interfere with the opening edge, so that it is not necessary to form them.
[0026]
In this way, when the wires 63, 67, 75 from the front cover member 3 are passed through the through opening 15 of the game board storage frame 6 and connected to the accessory control device 34, the wires 63, 67, 75 are connected to the front cover. Since it is pulled out from the shaft attachment side of the member 3 and passes through the through opening 15 opened on the side surface of the game board storage frame 6, the wiring 63, 67, 75 of the wiring 63, 67, 75 can be opened even if the front cover member 3 is opened and closed. There is little bending. Further, even if the wires 63, 67, 75 are moved by the opening / closing operation of the front cover member 3, the upright pieces 14 extend substantially along the penetration direction of the wires 63, 67, 75. The wirings 63, 67, and 75 are protected. Therefore, even if the front cover member 3 is repeatedly opened and closed, the wirings 63, 67, and 75 are not damaged. In particular, in the embodiment in which the recesses 83, 84, 85 are formed, when the front cover member 3 is opened, the wires 63, 67, 75 are pulled forward to become straight lines, but the wires 63, 67, 75 are recessed. 83, 84, and 85, the wirings 63, 67, and 75 are not forced against the opening edge of the front frame 2.
[0027]
Further, when the front cover member 3 is closed, the wirings 63, 67, and 75 tend to be loosened. However, even if the front cover member 3 is loosened, the standing piece 14 can suppress the slack, so that it cannot be seen from the player side, and may be pinched or damaged. Nor.
[0028]
When the front cover member 3 is closed, an illegal act such as cutting a wiring 63, 67, 75 by inserting a razor blade or the like through a gap between the front cover member 3 and the front frame 2 may be performed. The fraud prevention wall portion 81 can prevent intrusion by preventing intrusion.
[0029]
When the game board 10 is replaced, when the old game board 10 is removed, or when the new game board 10 is mounted, the upright piece 14 is connected to the wiring 63, 67 so that the wiring 63, 67, 75 does not get in the way. 67 and 75 are pressed, and the standing piece 14 prevents the side edge of the game board 10 from hitting the wirings 63, 67 and 75. Therefore, the wiring 63, 67, 75 can be protected by the standing piece 14 even in the game board 10 replacement operation.
[0030]
The upright piece 14 may be configured not only to protect the wirings 63, 67, and 75 but also to restrict the left and right positions of the game board 10 by abutting the tip with the side face of the game board 10.
[0031]
The game board storage frame 6 is not limited to a metal plate, and may be a plastic, for example. Therefore, in this case, the upright piece 14 is formed at the same time as the game board storage frame 6 is formed, and it is not necessary to cut and raise it later. In short, the “standing piece” in the present invention may be a piece standing from the side wall 11.
[0032]
In addition, the electrical decoration means provided on the front cover member 3 is not limited to the decorative lamp in which the front of the lamp substrate described in the above embodiment is covered with a clear cover, but electrically exhibits a decorative function. I just need it. For example, a sound effect may be generated as an auditory decoration by providing a speaker.
[0033]
Furthermore, although the said embodiment demonstrated the pachinko game machine 1, this invention is not limited to this, An arrange ball type game machine, a sparrow ball type game machine, a pachikon game machine, etc. may be sufficient.
[0034]
【The invention's effect】
As described above, the present invention has the following effects.
According to the invention of claim 1, on the back side of the front cover member, the wiring connected to the electrical decoration means is pressed by the wiring processing board and pulled out from the notch formed in the wiring processing board. Because it connects to the control device from the inside of the recess of the front frame through the through opening of the game board storage member, the wiring drawn out from the front cover member is passed from the front side to the back side without opening a separate wiring through hole in the front frame. Can do. And since the wiring penetrating through the through opening provided in the game board storage member is protected by the standing piece, it is damaged or disconnected when the front cover member is opened and closed and when the game board is replaced. There is nothing.
In addition, since the electrical decoration means can be provided on the front cover member without difficulty in the wiring process, a gaming machine with enhanced decoration effect can be provided.
[0035]
Then, a part of the side wall of the front cover member on the axis attachment side is raised to a slant by raising the stand piece obliquely by cutting and raising the base end to the rear and the front end to the front side of the game board storage space. Since the through-opening is opened between the piece and the side wall, even if the wiring is pulled or loosened by the opening and closing operation of the front cover member, the upright piece extending obliquely will follow the direction of the wiring This upright piece reliably protects the wiring.
[0036]
Furthermore , since the position of the game board in the lateral direction is regulated by the tip of the upright piece, the game board can be mounted with the position accurately adjusted.
[0037]
According to the second aspect of the present invention, since the recess is formed at the opening inner edge of the opening of the front frame located in front of the through opening, the wiring can be more easily passed. Therefore, it is possible to more reliably prevent an excessive force from acting on the wiring due to the opening / closing operation of the front cover member.
