[0010]
[Effects of the Invention]
The operation of the decorative plate 30 according to the present invention configured as described above will be described. First, the decorative plate 30 includes a frame 21 in the accessory or display unit 20 and a decorative frame 31 provided on the game board surface 10. Since each bridge portion 32 integrally formed on either side is formed as a continuous one, not only the waste and problems on the game board surface 10 are solved, The pachinko game is even more interesting.
[0011]
That is, if the frame 21 and the decorative frame 31 are separated from each other, it is necessary to have a gauge configuration in which a large number of nails 11 are driven on the game board surface 10 between them. In the pachinko machine 100 that employs the decorative plate 30, the bridge portion 32 is positively present between the frame 21 and the decorative frame 31, so the nail 11 between them is omitted, so-called board surface configuration. Is simplified.
[0012]
In particular, as exemplified in the embodiments described later, the fixing work can be simplified by positioning with respect to the game board surface 10 using each bridge portion 32, or the direction can be changed using each bridge portion 32. If the unit 33, the winning opening 37 or the winning detection switch are integrated (Claims 2 to 4), or the integrated nail 34 is formed in the vicinity of the frame 21 (Claims 5 and 6). For example, a part of the board surface configuration that has been performed by the gauge configuration with the nails 11 on the game board surface 10 can be replaced by the decorative board 30 so that the board surface configuration on the game board surface 10 side is further increased. It will be simplified. In other words, the decorative plate 30 can have a panel configuration in which a winning opening or a winning detection switch is provided between the frame 21 and the decorative frame 31, and in particular, the frame 21 and the decorative frame. It is not only necessary to open 31 spaces, but it can be used actively.
[0013]
Further, in this decorative board 30, the frame 21 in the accessory or display unit 20 and the decorative frame 31 provided on the game board surface 10 are formed as continuous and integral parts by the bridge portion 32. , It is easy to unify the design of the entire pachinko machine 100 using this. This is because if the frame 21 and the decorative frame 31 are separated from each other, a gauge configuration in which a large number of nails 11 are driven on the game board surface 10 between them, or the frame 21 and the decorative frame 31 are displayed. The frame 31 must be largely separated from each other, and it is difficult to unify the design on the game board surface 10. However, in the decorative board 30 of the present invention, the frame 21 and the decorative frame 31 are respectively connected by the bridge portion 32. This makes it easy to unify the design.
[0014]
And if the space between the frame 21 and the decoration frame 31 is open, not only can the luxury of the pachinko machine itself be sufficiently secured, but the impression that the part is just the part where the pachinko ball simply falls. Although it is only given to the player, the interest of pachinko games will be tempered. However, in the decorative board 30 of the present invention, the frame 21 and the decorative frame 31 are respectively continuous by the bridge portion 32. As illustrated in the embodiment, if each of the bridge portions 32 is used to integrate the direction changing unit 33 (Claims 2 to 4), the winning opening 37, or the winning detection switch, such a thing can be said. It will disappear.
[0015]
For this decorative plate 30, for example, a colored plate that is translucent and transmits colored light to the front is attached to the decorative frame 31, and wiring for a light emitting diode, various switches, etc. Although it has to be attached to the plate 30, those attaching operations can be easily performed because the decorative plate 30 is an integrated frame 21 and each decorative frame 31. This is because the mounting work must be performed after the position of the mounting object relative to the mounted member is relatively determined, but the decorative plate 30 according to the present invention has the frame 21 or each decorative frame 31 integrated with the bridge portion 32. This is because it is relatively large and can be easily positioned and handled.
[0016]
The decorative board 30 as described above is fixed to the front side of the game board surface 10 as shown in FIG. 1. However, conventionally, this fixing operation is performed by largely separating the frame 21 and the decorative frames 31. Compared to what was done, it is much easier. First, if the frame 21 and the decorative frame 31 are far apart, the positioning with respect to each game board surface 10 must be performed individually. However, the positioning of the decorative board 30 is large as a whole, Since the bridge portions 32 are integrated with the frame 21 or the decorative frame 31, the bridge portions 32 can be easily used by using the bridge portions 32 as positioning members. The decorative plate 30 is attached to the decorative plate 30 after engaging the projection 21a formed on the frame 21 of the accessory or the display unit 20 or the back surface of each bridge portion 32 with the hole or groove on the game board surface 10 side. This is done by inserting a mounting screw into the mounting hole 35 formed in the above and screwing the mounting screw into the game board surface 10 side through each bridge portion 32.
