Description

【０００１】
【産業上の利用分野】
本発明は、ガイドレールを一部とする区画部材により遊技部を区画し、該遊技部内の下部にアウト穴を開設するとともに該アウト穴の開口縁前面に導電性の板状飾り部材を取り付け、遊技部内には、電気的制御装置に接続された電気的遊技装置を配設した遊技盤を備えた弾球遊技機に関するものである。
【０００２】
【従来の技術】
近年、所謂スリーセブン機などのように短時間に大量の賞球を獲得可能な弾球遊技機が種々開発されており、人気を博している。この種の弾球遊技機は、電気的制御装置の制御の下で作動する大型の電気的遊技装置を他の遊技具と共に配設する。また、遊技者への装飾効果を高めるとともに、大型の電気的遊技装置の配設により遊技部内の障害釘の数が減り、打球の流下速度が増す傾向にある。このため、電気的遊技装置に導電性のメッキを施して摩耗を防止する構成を採っている。
【０００３】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
また、近年の遊技機は、遊技球を投入する上皿、遊技盤表面のセル板、遊技部内の遊技具など遊技球が通過する部分にプラスチック製の部品を多用しているので、これらの部品と遊技球との摩擦等により静電気が発生してガイドレールに帯電する。そして、電気的遊技装置の配置によっては、ガイドレールと電気的遊技装置のメッキ部分とが導通してしまい、ガイドレールの静電気が電気的遊技装置に流れることが有る。
この様にして静電気が電気的遊技装置に流れると、電気的遊技装置の一部を構成しているランプ、ソレノイド、ＬＥＤ、配線基板の配線パターン部などの電気部品から配線を伝わって静電気が電気的制御装置まで流れて影響を及ぼし、誤動作の原因となる。
また、アウト穴の周りを装飾するために金属製の飾り部材をアウト穴の周囲に取り付けることが一般的に行なわれているが、この飾り部材がガイドレールと導通しており、ここから静電気が電気的遊技装置に流れる場合もある。
そこで、本発明は、ガイドレールやアウト穴飾りに帯電した静電気により電気的制御装置が影響を受けることのない弾球遊技機を提供することを目的とする。
【０００４】
【課題を解決するための手段】
本発明は上記目的を達成するために提案されたもので、請求項１に記載のものは、導電性の内側ガイドレールを一部とする区画部材により遊技部を区画し、該遊技部内の下部にアウト穴を開設するとともにアウト穴の開口縁前面に導電性の板状飾り部材を取り付け、遊技部内には、電気的制御装置に接続された電気的遊技装置を配設した遊技盤を備えた弾球遊技機において、
前記電気的遊技装置の取付基板の表裏全面に導電性のメッキを施し、静電気が帯電する内側ガイドレール若しくはアウト穴の板状飾り部材の帯電部と上記電気的遊技装置の取付基板との間に所要間隙の離隔領域を形成し、
前記電気的制御装置と電気的に接続されて前記電気的遊技装置の一部を構成する電気部品と、前記電気的遊技装置の取付基板との間に絶縁材からなり導通路または放電路の形成を阻止する電気的接続阻止手段を設けたものである。
【０００５】
【作用】
静電気が帯電する内側ガイドレール若しくはアウト穴の板状飾り部材の帯電部と電気的遊技装置のメッキした取付基板との間に所要間隙の離隔領域を形成するので、遊技部内を流下してきた打球が電気的遊技装置の取付基板に接触した状態であっても内側ガイドレールやアウト穴の板状飾り部材に帯電している静電気が当該打球を介して電気的遊技装置の取付基板に流れることを防止することができる。また、電気的制御装置と電気的に接続されて前記電気的遊技装置の一部を構成する電気部品と、前記電気的遊技装置の取付基板との間に絶縁材からなる電気的接続阻止手段を設け、該電気的接続阻止手段が両者の間に導通路または放電路が形成されることを阻止しているので、帯電部に帯電している静電気が電気的遊技装置の取付基板から電気部品を通って電気的制御装置に流れず、電気的制御装置はこれら静電気の影響を受けない。
【０００６】
【実施例】
以下、本発明の実施例を図面にもとづいて説明する。
図１は代表的な弾球遊技機であるパチンコ機１の斜視図であり、図２はその背面図である。
このパチンコ機１は、プラスチック製の額縁状前面枠２の開口部にガラス枠３と前面パネル４を開放可能に軸着し、前面パネル４にはプラスチック製の上皿５を設け、前面枠２の下部にプラスチック製の下皿６と発射ハンドル７を、上部には球貸し用プリペイドカードのリーダ・ライタ８をそれぞれ設け、球貸し用操作ボタン９…を上皿５に設けてある。
【０００７】
そして、前面枠２の窓部を裏側から塞ぐようにして装着した遊技盤１０の表面には、図３に示すように、鋼帯板製の外側ガイドレール１１と内側ガイドレール１２を略ループ状に止着することによりほぼ円形の遊技部１３を区画し、この遊技部１３内のほぼ中央には電気的遊技装置であって数字等の図柄を表示可能な可変表示装置１４、該可変表示装置１４の下方に始動入賞口１５、該始動入賞口１５の下方に電気的遊技装置であって可変表示装置１４の図柄表示結果によって遊技球を受け入れない第１状態から受け入れ易い第２状態に変換する変動入賞装置１６などを配設し、遊技部１３内の最下部にアウト穴１７を開設するとともに、該アウト穴１７の開口縁前面に金属板製の飾り部材１８を取り付け、遊技部１３の外側にはプラスチック製レンズを有し、遊技部１３の外縁を一部で区画している大当り表示器など各種の表示器１９…を配設する。この様に、本実施例では、上記した外側ガイドレール１１、内側ガイドレール１２、大当り表示器などの各種の表示器１９…が、本発明の区画部材として機能し、遊技部１３を区画している。
【０００８】
なお、上記した可変表示装置１４や変動入賞装置１６などは、図２に示す電気的制御装置２０と配線２１…を介して電気的に接続しており、この電気的制御装置２０の制御の下で作動する。
【０００９】
図面に示す変動入賞装置１６は通称アタッカーと呼ばれているもので、取付基板２２に横長な開口部を開設し、該開口部に扉部材２３を軸着し、該扉部材２３をソレノイド等の駆動により開閉することによって打球を受け入れない第１状態と打球を受け入れ易い第２状態とに変換可能であり、取付基板２２の外縁部分に装飾用のメッキを施して所定部分２４としてある。そして、アウト穴１７の飾り部材１８に接近する所定部分２４と飾り部材１８との間にプラスチックやガラスなどの絶縁材からなる横長な絶縁板２５を電気的接続阻止手段として介在させる。
【００１０】
本実施例では変動入賞装置１６を遊技盤１０に取り付ける際に、図４に示すように、絶縁板２５の上半を取付基板２２と遊技盤１０表面との間に差し込んで止着し、取付基板２２の下端縁から下方に出ている絶縁板２５の下半をアウト穴飾り部材１８の表面に被せる。なお、絶縁板２５はアウト穴飾り部材１８の横幅とほぼ同じ横幅を有し、全体が透明である。したがって、飾り部材１８が絶縁板２５で覆われていても、遊技者側からは絶縁板２５を通して後方の飾り部材１８を視認可能である。
【００１１】
また、帯電部となる内側ガイドレール１２と変動入賞装置１６の取付基板２２の下端縁（飾り部材１８に対向する部分を除く）との間隔は、遊技球の直径とほぼ同じ間隔に設定してある。したがって、本実施例では、上記間隔が本発明の離隔領域として機能し、遊技部１３内を流下してきた打球が変動入賞装置１６の所定部分２４に接触した状態であっても内側ガイドレール１２に帯電している静電気が当該打球を介して変動入賞装置１６の所定部分２４に流れることはない。
この様に、電気的遊技装置の取付基板に導電性のメッキを施し、静電気が帯電する内側ガイドレール若しくはアウト穴の板状飾り部材の帯電部と上記電気的遊技装置の取付基板との間に所要間隙の離隔領域を形成しておくと、遊技部１３内を流下してきた打球が電気的遊技装置の取付基板に接触した状態であっても内側ガイドレール１２に帯電している静電気が当該打球を介して電気的遊技装置の取付基板に流れることを防止することができる。
【００１２】
また、図４に示すように、流下してきた打球が帯電部となるアウト穴飾り部材１８の上方で変動入賞装置１６の所定部分２４に接触した状態であっても、この打球と飾り部材１８との間には絶縁板２５が介在して絶縁しているので、飾り部材１８に帯電している静電気が当該打球を介して変動入賞装置１６の所定部分２４に流れることはない。
【００１３】
なお、絶縁板２５が存在しないと、打球が取付基板２２の所定部分２４と飾り部材１８とに同時に接触したときに打球を含んだ導通路が形成され、飾り部材１８に帯電している静電気がこの導通路を通って取付基板２２の所定部分２４に流れてしまう。また、打球が所定部分２４と飾り部材１８とに同時に接触しなくても放電可能な距離だけ離隔しただけでは打球を含んだ放電路が形成されてしまい、飾り部材１８に帯電している静電気がこの放電路を通って、即ち放電して取付基板２２の所定部分２４に流れ込んでしまう。したがって、前記した電気的接続阻止手段としての絶縁板２５は、導通路は勿論のこと放電路も形成されない十分な絶縁抵抗を有するものである。
【００１４】
この様に、本実施例によれば変動入賞装置１６の取付基板２２の所定部分２４と飾り部材１８との間に設けた絶縁板２５により飾り部材１８に帯電している静電気が取付基板２２の所定部分２４に流れ込むことを阻止することができる。したがって、変動入賞装置１６に接続した配線２１を通って静電気が電気的制御装置２０に流れて影響を及ぼすことを未然に防止することができる。このため、内側ガイドレール１２やアウト穴１７の飾り部材１８などの帯電部に帯電した静電気に起因する電気的制御装置２０の誤動作をなくすことができる。
【００１５】
電気的接続阻止手段は、上記した絶縁板２５に限定されるものではなく、静電気が帯電する内側ガイドレール１２若しくは飾り部材１８の帯電部と電気的遊技装置の所定部分２４との間に導通路または放電路が形成されることを阻止する絶縁材であればどのようなものでもよい。
【００１６】
例えば、図５および図６に示す電気的接続阻止手段は、弾性を有する透明な絶縁材を断面略Ｕ字状に成形した長尺絶縁モール２６である。この絶縁モール２６を取付基板２２に取り付けるには、メッキを施した取付基板２２の所定部分２４を絶縁モール２６の溝２６′内に嵌合する。この様にして嵌合すると、絶縁モール２６の前片２６ａと後片２６ｂが挟持部として機能し、取付基板２２を挟み付け、これにより絶縁モール２６が取付基板２２から離脱することなく止着される。なお、絶縁モール２６は、図５に示すように、自然状態で溝２６′の開口部が他の部分よりも幅狭になるように成形することが望ましい。
【００１７】
この様な絶縁モール２６を変動入賞装置１６の取付基板２２の下縁に止着しておくと、遊技部１３内を流下してきた打球が内側ガイドレール１２やアウト穴飾り部材１８などの帯電部に接触または放電可能なまで接近したとしても、絶縁モール２６が導通路または放電路の形成を阻止しているので、内側ガイドレール１２や飾り部材１８に帯電している静電気が取付基板２２の所定部分２４に流れ込むことはない。
【００１８】
また、本発明ではメッキを施した電気的遊技装置の所定部分２４と、この電気的遊技装置の一部を構成しているランプ、ソレノイド、ＬＥＤ、配線基板の配線パターン部などの電気部品との間にも電気的接続阻止手段を設け、電気的遊技装置の所定部分２４に万一静電気が流れ込んでも、所定部分２４と電気的部品との間に導通路または放電路が形成されることを上記電気的接続阻止手段により阻止し、これにより所定部分２４の静電気が電気部品に流れないように構成している。
【００１９】
図７および図８に示す実施例は、電気的遊技装置としての前記変動入賞装置１６のランプ照明に関するものである。本実施例では取付基板２２の表裏全面にメッキを施して所定部分２４とし、ランプ２７を支持するランプ基板２８と変動入賞装置１６の取付基板２２との間に電気的接続阻止手段としての絶縁ブラケット２９を介在させてある。この絶縁ブラケット２９は、高い絶縁性を有するプラスチック製であり、ランプ２７を収納する筒状の収納部３０と円筒状の止着部３１を取付鍔部３２と一体成形してある。また、ランプ２７は、後部に軟質ゴム製の取付基部３３を有し、この取付基部３３に開設した２つの貫通穴内にランプ２７の導線３４，３４をそれぞれ挿通して、貫通穴から突出した部分を折り返してある。このランプ２７をランプ基板２８に取り付けるには、ランプ基板２８の前面に突設した２本の導通ピンを取付基部３３後面の貫通穴内に差し込んでセットし、これによりランプ基板２８の配線パターンとランプ２７の導線３４，３４を導通ピンを介して導通させる。
【００２０】
そして、ランプ２７を変動入賞装置１６の取付基板２２に取り付けるには、ランプ２７を絶縁ブラケット２９の収納部３０内に後方から挿入するとともに、ランプ基板２８の止着穴３５を絶縁ブラケット２９の止着部３１の後端の貫通孔に連通させ、この状態で取付基板２２の裏側に臨ませ、取付基板２２の裏面に突設した支柱３６を絶縁ブラケット２９の止着部３１内に嵌合するとともに、ランプ２７の先端部分を取付基板２２のランプ穴３７内に臨ませ、ランプ基板２８の止着穴３５からビス３８を挿入して該ビス３８により止着する。
【００２１】
この様にして取付基板２２にランプ２７を装着すると、ランプ２７の殆どが絶縁ブラケット２９の収納部３０内に収納されており、折り返した導線３４，３４も収納部３０内に収まり、ランプ２７の導体部分、特に静電気が流れ易い導線３４，３４が絶縁ブラケット２９に包囲されてメッキ部分（所定部分２４）とは導通路が形成されない状態であり、しかも放電路が形成される程には導線３４，３４がメッキ部分に接近し得ない状態となる。したがって、取付基板２２の所定部分２４（メッキ部分）に万一静電気が流れ込んでも、導線３４，３４などランプ２７の導体部分に静電気が流れ込むことはない。なお、ランプ基板２８も絶縁ブラケット２９の介在により取付基板２２の所定部分２４から十分離隔しており、したがって、所定部分２４の静電気がランプ基板２８に放電によって流れることもない。
【００２２】
この様に、本実施例では変動入賞装置１６の取付基板２２の下縁に止着した絶縁モール２６により内側ガイドレール１２やアウト穴１７の飾り部材１８などの帯電部との間に導通路または放電路が形成されること阻止しているので、これら帯電部に帯電している静電気が取付基板２２に流れることを絶縁モール２６の介在により有効に防止することができる。また、万一取付基板２２の所定部分２４に静電気が流れても、ランプ２７との間に設けた絶縁ブラケット２９により取付基板２２の所定部分２４とランプ２７の導線３４，３４やランプ基板２８との間に導通路または放電路が形成されることを阻止することができる。したがって、取付基板２２の所定部分２４に静電気が伝わったとしても、この静電気がランプ２７やランプ基板２８から配線２１を通して電気的制御装置２０に流れ込むことを阻止することができる。したがって、電気的制御装置２０が変動入賞装置１６の取付基板２２の所定部分２４に流れた静電気に起因して誤動作することを有効に防止することができる。
【００２３】
なお、上記した実施例はいずれも所謂第１種のパチンコ機１であるが、本発明はこれらに限定されるものではなく、その他の所謂第２種、第３種のパチンコ機１は勿論のこと遊技球を使用する弾球遊技機であればどのような種類の遊技機でも良く、例えばアレンジボール式遊技機などでもよい。
【００２４】
【発明の効果】
以上説明したように本発明によれば、内側ガイドレール若しくはアウト穴の板状飾り部材の帯電部と電気的遊技装置の取付基板のメッキ部との間に所要間隙の離隔領域を形成するので、上記帯電部に帯電した静電気が電気的遊技装置のメッキ部に導通してしまう事態を有効に防止することができる。
また、電気的制御装置と電気的に接続されて前記電気的遊技装置の一部を構成する電気部品と、前記電気的遊技装置の取付基板との間に絶縁材からなり導通路または放電路の形成を阻止する電気的接続阻止手段を設けたので、内側ガイドレール若しくはアウト穴の板状飾り部材の帯電部に帯電した静電気が電気的遊技装置の取付基板のメッキ部に、打球を介して導通したり放電したとしても、静電気が電気部品から配線を通って電気的制御装置に流れ込むことを阻止することができる。したがって、静電気に起因する電気的制御装置の誤動作を一層確実に防止することができる。

In this type of ball game machine, a large-sized electric game device that operates under the control of an electric control device is arranged together with other game equipment. In addition, the decoration effect on the player is enhanced, and the number of obstacle nails in the game portion is reduced due to the arrangement of a large electric game device, so that the hitting speed of the hit ball tends to increase. For this reason, the structure which carries out electroconductive plating to an electrical game device, and prevents abrasion is taken.
[0003]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
In addition, recent gaming machines use a lot of plastic parts in the parts where game balls pass, such as the upper plate into which the game balls are thrown in, the cell board on the surface of the game board, and the game equipment in the game part. Static electricity is generated due to friction between the ball and the game ball, and the guide rail is charged. And depending on arrangement | positioning of an electrical gaming device, a guide rail and the plating part of an electrical gaming device may conduct | electrically_connect, and the static electricity of a guide rail may flow into an electrical gaming device.
When static electricity flows into the electrical gaming machine in this way, the static electricity is transmitted through the wiring from electrical components such as lamps, solenoids, LEDs, and wiring pattern parts of the wiring board that form part of the electrical gaming machine. It will flow to and affect the automatic control device and cause malfunction.
Moreover, in order to decorate the periphery of the out hole, a metal decorative member is generally attached to the periphery of the out hole, but this decorative member is electrically connected to the guide rail, and static electricity is generated from here. In some cases, the electric game device may flow.
Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a ball game machine in which the electrical control device is not affected by static electricity charged on the guide rail and the out hole decoration.
[0004]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
The present invention has been proposed in order to achieve the above object. According to the present invention, a gaming portion is partitioned by a partition member including a conductive inner guide rail, and a lower portion in the gaming portion is provided.

Since a gap area is formed between the charging portion of the inner guide rail or the plate-shaped decorative member of the out hole which is charged with static electricity and the plated mounting substrate of the electric game device, the hit ball that has flowed down in the game portion Prevents static electricity charged on the inner guide rail and the plate-shaped decorative member of the out-hole from flowing to the mounting board of the electrical gaming device through the hit ball even when it is in contact with the mounting board of the electrical gaming device can do. Further, an electrical connection blocking means made of an insulating material is provided between an electrical component that is electrically connected to the electrical control device and constitutes a part of the electrical gaming device, and a mounting board of the electrical gaming device. provided, since the electrical connection preventing means is preventing the conductive path or discharge path is formed therebetween, static electricity on the charged portion of the electrical component from the mounting substrate of electrically gaming machine Does not flow through to the electrical control device, and the electrical control device is not affected by these static electricity.
[0006]
【Example】
Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.
FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a pachinko machine 1 that is a typical ball game machine, and FIG. 2 is a rear view thereof.
The pachinko machine 1 has a glass frame 3 and a front panel 4 pivotally attached to an opening of a plastic frame-shaped front frame 2, and a plastic upper plate 5 is provided on the front panel 4. The lower plate 6 is provided with a plastic lower plate 6 and a firing handle 7, the upper portion is provided with a prepaid card rental reader / writer 8, and the upper plate 5 is provided with operation buttons 9 for ball rental.
[0007]
Then, on the surface of the game board 10 mounted so as to close the window portion of the front frame 2 from the back side, as shown in FIG. 3, an outer guide rail 11 made of steel strip and an inner guide rail 12 are formed in a substantially loop shape. A substantially circular gaming unit 13 is defined by being fastened to the game unit, and a variable display device 14 that is an electrical gaming device and can display symbols such as numbers is provided at the center of the gaming unit 13, and the variable display device. 14 is a start winning opening 15 below the start winning opening 15, which is an electric gaming device below the starting winning opening 15, and converts from a first state in which a game ball is not received to a second state in which it is easy to receive according to the symbol display result of the variable display device 14. A variable winning device 16 and the like are disposed, and an out hole 17 is formed at the bottom of the gaming portion 13, and a decorative member 18 made of a metal plate is attached to the front surface of the opening edge of the out hole 17. There is no plastic Has a manufacturing lenses, arranged a big hit indicator various indicators 19 ... such that partitions a part of the outer edge of the gaming unit 13. In this way, in this embodiment, various indicators 19... Such as the outer guide rail 11, the inner guide rail 12, and the jackpot indicator described above function as a partition member of the present invention to partition the game section 13. Yes.
[0008]
The variable display device 14 and the variable winning device 16 described above are electrically connected to the electrical control device 20 shown in FIG. 2 via wirings 21... Under the control of the electrical control device 20. Operates with.
[0009]
The variable prize-winning device 16 shown in the drawing is commonly called an attacker, and has a horizontally long opening in the mounting substrate 22, a door member 23 is pivotally attached to the opening, and the door member 23 is attached to a solenoid or the like. By opening and closing by driving, it is possible to convert between a first state in which a hit ball is not accepted and a second state in which a hit ball is easy to be received. Then, a horizontally long insulating plate 25 made of an insulating material such as plastic or glass is interposed between the predetermined portion 24 of the out hole 17 approaching the decorative member 18 and the decorative member 18 as an electrical connection blocking means.
[0010]
In this embodiment, when the variable winning device 16 is attached to the game board 10, as shown in FIG. 4, the upper half of the insulating plate 25 is inserted between the attachment board 22 and the surface of the game board 10 and fixed. The lower half of the insulating plate 25 protruding downward from the lower end edge of the substrate 22 is put on the surface of the out hole decoration member 18. The insulating plate 25 has a width substantially the same as the width of the out hole decoration member 18 and is entirely transparent. Therefore, even if the decorative member 18 is covered with the insulating plate 25, the rear decorative member 18 can be visually recognized through the insulating plate 25 from the player side.
[0011]
In addition, the distance between the inner guide rail 12 serving as the charging portion and the lower edge of the mounting board 22 of the variable winning device 16 (excluding the portion facing the decoration member 18) is set to be approximately the same as the diameter of the game ball. is there. Therefore, in this embodiment, the above-mentioned distance functions as the separation area of the present invention, and even if the hit ball that has flowed down in the gaming portion 13 is in contact with the predetermined portion 24 of the variable prize winning device 16, The charged static electricity does not flow to the predetermined portion 24 of the variable winning device 16 through the hit ball.
In this way, conductive plating is applied to the mounting board of the electrical gaming device, and the static electricity is charged between the charging portion of the inner guide rail or the plate-shaped decorative member of the out hole and the mounting board of the electrical gaming device. If the separation area of the required gap is formed, even if the hit ball that has flowed down in the game unit 13 is in contact with the mounting board of the electric game device, the static electricity charged on the inner guide rail 12 is affected by the hit ball. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the electric game device from flowing to the mounting board.
[0012]
Further, as shown in FIG. 4, even if the hit ball that has flowed down is in contact with the predetermined portion 24 of the variable winning device 16 above the out hole decoration member 18 that becomes the charging portion, Since the insulating plate 25 is interposed between the two, the static electricity charged on the decorative member 18 does not flow to the predetermined portion 24 of the variable winning device 16 via the hit ball.
[0013]
If the insulating plate 25 is not present, a conductive path including the hit ball is formed when the hit ball simultaneously contacts the predetermined portion 24 of the mounting substrate 22 and the decorative member 18, and static electricity charged on the decorative member 18 is generated. It will flow to the predetermined part 24 of the mounting substrate 22 through this conduction path. In addition, even if the hit ball is not in contact with the predetermined portion 24 and the decorative member 18 at the same time, a discharge path including the hit ball is formed only by being separated by a dischargeable distance, and static electricity charged on the decorative member 18 is generated. Through this discharge path, that is, discharged, it flows into the predetermined portion 24 of the mounting substrate 22. Therefore, the insulating plate 25 as the electrical connection blocking means has a sufficient insulation resistance that does not form a discharge path as well as a conduction path.
[0014]
Thus, according to the present embodiment, the static electricity charged on the decorative member 18 by the insulating plate 25 provided between the predetermined portion 24 of the mounting substrate 22 of the variable winning device 16 and the decorative member 18 is generated on the mounting substrate 22. The flow into the predetermined portion 24 can be prevented. Accordingly, it is possible to prevent the static electricity from flowing through the wiring 21 connected to the variable winning device 16 and affecting the electrical control device 20. For this reason, it is possible to eliminate malfunctions of the electrical control device 20 due to static electricity charged in charging portions such as the inner guide rail 12 and the decorative member 18 of the out hole 17.
[0015]
The electrical connection blocking means is not limited to the insulating plate 25 described above, and a conduction path is provided between the charging portion of the inner guide rail 12 or the decorative member 18 charged with static electricity and the predetermined portion 24 of the electric game device. Alternatively, any insulating material that prevents the discharge path from being formed may be used.
[0016]
For example, the electrical connection preventing means shown in FIGS. 5 and 6 is a long insulating molding 26 in which a transparent insulating material having elasticity is formed in a substantially U-shaped cross section. In order to attach the insulating molding 26 to the mounting substrate 22, the predetermined portion 24 of the mounting substrate 22 plated is fitted into the groove 26 ′ of the insulating molding 26. When fitted in this way, the front piece 26a and the rear piece 26b of the insulating molding 26 function as a clamping portion, and the mounting board 22 is clamped, whereby the insulating molding 26 is fixed without being detached from the mounting board 22. The In addition, as shown in FIG. 5, it is desirable to shape the insulating molding 26 so that the opening of the groove 26 'is narrower than other portions in a natural state.
[0017]
When such an insulating molding 26 is fixed to the lower edge of the mounting board 22 of the variable winning device 16, the hit ball that has flowed down in the game section 13 is charged by the inner guide rail 12, the out hole decoration member 18, and the like. Even if it approaches to the point where it can contact or discharge, since the insulating molding 26 prevents the formation of the conduction path or the discharge path, the static electricity charged on the inner guide rail 12 and the decorative member 18 is predetermined on the mounting substrate 22. There is no flow into portion 24.
[0018]
Further, in the present invention, the predetermined portion 24 of the plated electrical gaming device and the electrical components such as lamps, solenoids, LEDs, and wiring pattern portions of the wiring board constituting a part of the electrical gaming device. An electrical connection blocking means is also provided between them, and even if static electricity flows into the predetermined part 24 of the electric game device, a conduction path or a discharge path is formed between the predetermined part 24 and the electrical component. The electrical connection prevention means prevents the static electricity of the predetermined portion 24 from flowing into the electrical component.
[0019]
The embodiment shown in FIG. 7 and FIG. 8 relates to the lamp illumination of the variable prize device 16 as an electric game device. In this embodiment, the entire surface of the mounting board 22 is plated to form a predetermined portion 24, and an insulating bracket as an electrical connection blocking means between the lamp board 28 that supports the lamp 27 and the mounting board 22 of the variable winning device 16 is used. 29 is interposed. The insulating bracket 29 is made of plastic having high insulating properties, and a cylindrical storage portion 30 for storing the lamp 27 and a cylindrical fastening portion 31 are integrally formed with the mounting flange portion 32. In addition, the lamp 27 has a mounting base portion 33 made of soft rubber at the rear portion, and the lead wires 34 and 34 of the lamp 27 are respectively inserted into the two through holes formed in the mounting base portion 33 so as to protrude from the through holes. Is folded. In order to attach the lamp 27 to the lamp substrate 28, two conductive pins projecting from the front surface of the lamp substrate 28 are set by being inserted into the through holes on the rear surface of the attachment base 33, whereby the wiring pattern of the lamp substrate 28 and the lamp The 27 conducting wires 34 and 34 are conducted through the conducting pins.
[0020]
In order to attach the lamp 27 to the mounting board 22 of the variable prize winning device 16, the lamp 27 is inserted into the housing portion 30 of the insulating bracket 29 from the rear, and the fixing hole 35 of the lamp board 28 is fixed to the insulating bracket 29. The post 36 is communicated with the through hole at the rear end of the attachment portion 31, faces the back side of the mounting substrate 22 in this state, and the support column 36 protruding from the back surface of the attachment substrate 22 is fitted into the fixing portion 31 of the insulating bracket 29. At the same time, the tip portion of the lamp 27 is brought into the lamp hole 37 of the mounting substrate 22, and a screw 38 is inserted from the fixing hole 35 of the lamp substrate 28 and fixed by the screw 38.
[0021]
When the lamp 27 is mounted on the mounting board 22 in this manner, most of the lamp 27 is stored in the storage section 30 of the insulating bracket 29, and the folded lead wires 34 and 34 are also stored in the storage section 30. The conductors 34, 34 that are particularly susceptible to static electricity flow are surrounded by the insulating bracket 29 so that no conductive path is formed with the plated part (predetermined part 24), and the conductor 34 34 is formed to the extent that a discharge path is formed. , 34 cannot reach the plated portion. Therefore, even if static electricity flows into the predetermined portion 24 (plated portion) of the mounting substrate 22, static electricity does not flow into the conductor portions of the lamp 27 such as the conductive wires 34 and 34. The lamp substrate 28 is also separated from the predetermined portion 24 of the mounting substrate 22 by the interposition of the insulating bracket 29. Therefore, static electricity in the predetermined portion 24 does not flow to the lamp substrate 28 due to discharge.
[0022]
In this way, in this embodiment, a conductive path or a charging path between the inner guide rail 12 and the charging member such as the decoration member 18 of the out hole 17 is secured by the insulating molding 26 fixed to the lower edge of the mounting substrate 22 of the variable winning device 16. Since the discharge path is prevented from being formed, it is possible to effectively prevent the static electricity charged in these charging portions from flowing to the mounting substrate 22 by the intervention of the insulating molding 26. Even if static electricity flows through the predetermined portion 24 of the mounting substrate 22, the insulating bracket 29 provided between the lamp 27 and the predetermined portion 24 of the mounting substrate 22, the lead wires 34 and 34 of the lamp 27, and the lamp substrate 28. It is possible to prevent a conduction path or a discharge path from being formed between the two. Therefore, even if static electricity is transmitted to the predetermined portion 24 of the mounting substrate 22, this static electricity can be prevented from flowing from the lamp 27 or the lamp substrate 28 to the electrical control device 20 through the wiring 21. Therefore, it is possible to effectively prevent the electrical control device 20 from malfunctioning due to static electricity that has flowed to the predetermined portion 24 of the mounting board 22 of the variable winning device 16.
