Description

【０００１】
【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は、パチンコ機に代表される遊技機に関し、さらに詳しくは、遊技機の電気配線に設けられたコネクタ部を仮止めするための仮止め部材に関する。
【０００２】
【従来の技術】
パチンコ機に代表される遊技機は、多数本の遊技釘や風車、種々の入賞装置等が所定のゲージ設定で配設された遊技盤と、遊技盤を着脱自在に装着する枠部材と、枠部材の裏面側に開閉自在に取り付けられるとともに常には遊技盤の裏面側を覆う閉止位置に保持されて用いられる裏セット盤とを備えて構成される。
【０００３】
このようなパチンコ機において、遊技盤には、例えば、画像表示装置やこの画像表示装置の制御を行う画像処理基板等の電力により作動する電気部品（以下、遊技盤側電気部品という）が配設されるとともに、枠部材や裏セット盤には、例えば、パチンコ機の作動を統括的に制御するメイン基板等の電気部品（以下、枠側電気部品という）が配設されており、遊技盤側電気部品と枠側電気部品とを電気配線により電気的に接続して遊技に供される。電気配線の両端にはコネクタ部がそれぞれ設けられており、このコネクタ部を枠側電気部品（および遊技盤側電気部品）に設けられたコネクタ端子に着脱自在に取り付けることで、電気配線と枠側電気部品（および遊技盤側電気部品）とが電気的に接続されるようになっている。また、遊技盤の裏面側には球寄せカバーが設けられており、遊技盤の裏面側に達した遊技球を所定箇所に流下させるように構成されている。
【０００４】
ところで、遊技盤の交換の際には、電気配線のコネクタ部を遊技盤側電気部品もしくは枠側電気部品のいずれか一方のコネクタ端子から取り外し、続いて裏セット盤を遊技盤の裏面側を開放する開放位置に位置させる。そして、この状態で遊技盤の着脱を行って遊技盤を交換するようになっている。
【０００５】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
しかしながら、電気配線は遊技盤側電気部品と枠側電気部品との距離に対応した長さを有しているため、例えば、電気配線を遊技盤側電気部品に接続したまま遊技盤の着脱を行うと、電気配線が長く垂れ下がった状態となって、電気配線を枠部材や裏セット盤に挟んでしまうことがあり、遊技盤の着脱が煩雑なものとなっていた。
【０００６】
本発明はこのような問題に鑑みてなされたものであり、遊技盤の着脱の際に電気配線を枠部材や裏セット盤に挟むことがなく、容易に遊技盤の着脱を行うことができる遊技機を提供することを目的とする。
【０００７】
【課題を解決するための手段】
このような目的達成のため、本発明に係る遊技機は、枠部材と、枠部材に着脱可能に取り付けられた遊技盤と、枠部材の裏面側に開閉自在に取り付けられるとともに遊技盤の裏面側を覆う閉止位置に保持されて用いられる裏セット盤と、遊技盤の裏面側に設けられ、遊技盤の裏面側に達した遊技球を所定箇所に流下させる球寄せカバーと、遊技盤に配設された遊技盤側電気部品と、枠部材または裏セット盤に配設された枠側電気部品とを備え、遊技盤側電気部品と枠側電気部品とを電気配線により電気的に接続して遊技に供される遊技機であって、電気配線の一端側には、枠側電気部品に設けられたコネクタ端子に着脱自在に取り付けることで電気配線と枠側電気部品とを電気的に接続することができるコネクタ部が設けられており、球寄せカバーには、枠側電気部品のコネクタ端子から取り外された状態のコネクタ部を仮止めするための仮止め部材が設けられ、この仮止め部材は、コネクタ部と嵌合可能であるとともに電気配線と係合可能であり、コネクタ部と嵌合させるか、もしくは電気配線と係合させることにより、コネクタ部を仮止めすることができるように構成される。
【０００８】
このような構成の遊技機によれば、球寄せカバーにコネクタ部の仮止め部材が設けられているため、枠側電気部品のコネクタ端子からコネクタ部を取り外して仮止め部材に仮止めしておけば、遊技盤の着脱の際に電気配線を枠部材や裏セット盤に挟むことがなく、容易に遊技盤の着脱を行うことができる。
【０００９】
なお、仮止め部材は、コネクタ部が受容嵌合される方形壁状のコネクタ嵌合部を有し、このコネクタ嵌合部に、電気配線と係合する係合溝が形成される。もう一つの発明の場合には、コネクタ嵌合部に隣接した位置に、電気配線と係合するフック部が形成される。
【００１０】
また、仮止め部材が球寄せカバーに対して回動可能に設けられていることが好ましく、このようにすれば、電気配線を無理に曲げることなくコネクタ部を仮止めすることができる。
【００１１】
【発明の実施の形態】
以下、本発明の好ましい実施形態について図面を参照しながら説明する。本発明に係る遊技機の代表例としてパチンコ機ＰＭを図１〜図３に示しており、まず、これらの図面を参照しながらパチンコ機ＰＭの全体構成について要約説明する。ここで、図１はパチンコ機ＰＭを正面側から見た正面図、図２はパチンコ機ＰＭを裏面側から見た背面図、図３は裏セット盤を取り外した状態の前枠の背面図である。
【００１２】
パチンコ機ＰＭは、外郭方形枠サイズに構成されて縦向きの固定保持枠をなす外枠１の開口前面に、これに合わせた方形枠サイズに構成されて開閉搭載枠をなす前枠２が互いの左側縁に配設された上下のヒンジ機構３ａ，３ｂにより横開き開閉および着脱が可能に取り付けられ、常には右側縁に設けられた施錠装置４を利用して外枠１に閉鎖施錠された状態で保持される。
【００１３】
前枠２の正面側には、前枠２の前面域に合わせた方形状をなし中央部に取り付けられたポリカーボネート板やガラス板等の透明板を通して遊技盤２０を透視可能なガラス扉５、および球皿に貯留された遊技球を整列させて１個ずつ打球発射装置９に導く上球皿６が、ともに左側縁に内蔵されたヒンジ機構により横開き開閉および着脱が可能に組付けられ、常には施錠装置４および図示省略するロック機構を利用して前枠２の前面を覆う閉止状態で保持される。前枠２の下部には遊技球を貯留する下球皿７設けられ、この下球皿７と並んで遊技球の発射操作を行う操作ハンドル８が取り付けられている。
【００１４】
ガラス扉５の背後に位置する前枠２の裏面上部には、方形枠状の収容枠１１が前枠２と一体に成形されており、この収容枠１１に所定のゲージ設定で構成された遊技盤２０が複数の係合レバー１４，１４…（図３では不図示）により着脱交換可能にセット保持される。収容枠１１は、遊技盤２０をセット保持したときに遊技盤２０の前面が閉鎖状態にあるガラス扉５の透明板と所定間隔をおいて対向するように構成されており、遊技盤面と透明板との間に遊技球が落下移動する遊技領域空間が形成される。収容枠１１の後縁部には、裏セット盤３０をそれぞれ横開き開閉並びに着脱可能に支持する固定ヒンジ部材１２，１３が上下に所定間隔をおいてねじ固定されている。
【００１５】
遊技盤２０は板厚１９mm程度の積層合板を図示する所定形状に切断およびルーター加工して、その表面に所定意匠のセルを貼り付けた化粧板（ベニヤとも称される）２１を基板として構成される。化粧板２１の前面側には、帯状の外レール２４ａおよび内レール２４ｂが円弧状に固設され、これらの案内レール２４ａ，２４ｂで囲まれた内側に遊技領域ＰＡが区画される。
【００１６】
遊技領域ＰＡには、多数本の遊技釘とともにランプ風車２５ａや一般風車２５ｂ等の風車２５、一般入賞具２６ａや始動具２６ｂ並びに大入賞口を備えたアタッカー２６ｃ等の入賞具２６、および遊技の進行状況に応じて所定の画像を表示させる画像表示装置２８などが取り付けられ、遊技領域ＰＡの下端には入賞具２６に入賞せずに落下した遊技球（「アウト球」という）を遊技盤２０の裏面側に排出させるアウト口２７が設けられている。各入賞具（一般入賞具２６ａおよびアタッカー２６ｃ等）や始動具２６ｂに落入した遊技球（「セーフ球」という）は、各入賞具および始動具２６ｂに設けられた各入賞口スイッチおよび始動口スイッチにより検出され、化粧板２１を貫通するセーフ球通路孔を通って遊技盤２０の裏面側に排出される。また、アウト口２７に集められたアウト球は化粧板２１を貫通するアウト球通路孔を通って遊技盤２０の裏面側に排出される。
【００１７】
遊技盤２０の裏面側には、遊技盤２０の裏面側に排出されたセーフ球を下方へ流下させるための球寄せカバー５０が取り付けられている。球寄せカバー５０は、遊技盤２０の裏面側中央部に位置する上部球寄せカバー５２と上部球寄せカバー５２の下方に隣接する下部球寄せカバー５１とから構成され、上部球寄せカバー５２および下部球寄せカバー５１の内部には、セーフ球を下部球寄せカバー５１の下方へ排出させるためのセーフ球流下経路が形成される。
【００１８】
上部球寄せカバー５２には、画像表示装置２８の画像表示制御を行う画像処理基板７１や、遊技盤２０に取り付けられた各種遊技盤ランプへの点灯信号の中継を行うランプ中継基板７２、遊技機の作動状態を遊技施設側に出力するための外部出力端子基板７４などの回路基板が着脱交換可能に取り付けられる。下部球寄せカバー５１には、各入賞口スイッチからの検出信号や遊技盤２０に取り付けられた各種ソレノイドへの駆動信号の中継を行うスイッチ・ソレノイド中継基板７３が着脱交換可能に取り付けられる。なお画像処理基板７１は、図３および図６に示すように、収容ケース６０に納められた状態で上部球寄せカバー５２に取り付けられており、偽造ＲＯＭへの差し替え等の不正改造を受け難いようになっている。
【００１９】
前枠２の裏面下部には、遊技球を外レール２４ａに向けて発射する打球発射装置９、および操作ハンドル８の回動操作を受けて打球発射装置９の作動を制御する発射制御基板８２が取り付けられる。前枠２におけるこれらの装置９および発射制御基板８２と収容枠１１との間の上下中間領域には、遊技補助盤１５と称される補助機構部が形成され、その前面側に打球発射装置９によって打ち出された遊技球を外レール２４ａに向けて案内する発射レールや、遊技領域ＰＡに到達できずに打球発射装置９側に戻ってきたファール球を下球皿７に排出させるファール球回収経路部材、遊技の展開状況に応じた効果音を発生させるスピーカなどが取り付けられている。遊技補助盤１５は上球皿６の背後に位置しており、常には閉鎖保持される上球皿６によりその前面側が覆われている。
【００２０】
前枠２の背後に位置して、裏セット盤（裏機構盤とも称される）３０が取り付けられる。裏セット盤３０は、外枠１の内寸サイズよりも幾分小さめの方形状をなし、中央に遊技盤２０から突出する画像処理基板７１を受容する窓口３１ｗを有して一体成形された基枠体３１をベースとして構成される。基枠体３１の側縁部には上下に所定間隔をおいて裏セット盤揺動ヒンジ部材３２，３３が固定されており、この上下の裏セット盤揺動ヒンジ部材３２，３３を収容枠１１側の上下の固定ヒンジ部材１２，１３に係合させて揺動させあるいは係脱させることで、裏セット盤３０が前枠２の背後に横開き開閉および着脱可能に装備され、常には３カ所の閉鎖レバー３４を利用して前枠２の背面を覆うように閉鎖保持される。
【００２１】
裏セット盤３０には、窓口３１ｗを取り囲むようにして賞球を払い出すための賞球装置や遊技球の処理経路が設けられる。すなわち、基枠体３１の裏面側には、遊技球の貯留・供給を行うタンク部材４１、タンク部材４１から供給される遊技球を整列させて流下させる整列樋部材４２、整列樋部材から供給される遊技球を受けて所定数量の遊技球を待機保持させる賞球待機通路４３、賞球待機通路４３に待機された遊技球を所定の入賞条件等に基づいて払い出す賞球払出装置４５、賞球払出装置４５から払い出された遊技球を上下の球皿６，７に導く賞球払出経路４７などの賞球装置よび賞球経路が設けられている。また、基枠体３１の前面側には、窓口３１ｗの下方に位置して遊技盤２０の裏面側に排出されたアウト球およびセーフ球、球抜き機構によって賞球経路から排出された抜き球等を集合させる集合経路が形成され、基枠体３１の裏面側には集合経路と繋がって集合された遊技球を遊技施設側の回収バケットに排出させる球排出経路が形成されている。
【００２２】
また、裏セット盤３０の裏面各部には、パチンコ機ＰＭの作動を統括的に制御するメイン基板８１や、メイン基板８１からの指令信号に基づいて賞球払出装置の作動制御を行う賞球制御基板８３、効果照明および効果音の作動制御を行うランプ制御基板８４および音声制御基板８５、これらの制御基板や各種電子機器等に電力を供給する電源基板８６、電源基板８６から供給される電力の中継を行う電源中継基板８７などの回路基板が着脱交換可能に取り付けられ、各回路基板や電子機器が図示しないワイヤーハーネス（電気配線）で接続されてパチンコ機ＰＭが構成される。
【００２３】
パチンコ機ＰＭは、ガラス扉５、上球皿６、裏セット盤３０等がそれぞれ閉鎖され、前枠２が外枠１に閉鎖施錠された状態で遊技に供される。遊技は上球皿６に遊技球を貯留させて操作ハンドル８を回動操作することにより開始され、上球皿６に貯留された遊技球が１球ずつ打球発射装置９に送られ操作ハンドル８の回動操作角度に応じた強度で遊技領域ＰＡに打ち出されてパチンコゲームが展開される。
【００２４】
ここで、パチンコ機ＰＭに構成される各回路基板や電子機器といった電気部品の電気的な接続について図４を参照して説明する。図４は、パチンコ機ＰＭに構成される電気部品の電気的な接続を示す回路ブロック図である。パチンコ機ＰＭに構成される電気部品は、遊技盤２０に配設された遊技盤側電気部品７０と、外枠１や前枠２といった枠部材または裏セット盤３０に配設された枠側電気部品８０とから構成される。

【００３６】

【００４８】
なお、第２コネクタ部１０２ａ（および第５コネクタ部１０５ａ）を下部仮止め部材１５５から取り外すには、下部ロック片部１５７を上方に弾性変形させて第２コネクタ部１０２ａ（および第５コネクタ部１０５ａ）との係合を解除し、その状態で第２コネクタ部１０２ａ（および第５コネクタ部１０５ａ）を後方へ引き抜けばよい。そのため、電気配線のコネクタ部を２つ同時に仮止めすることができ、さらに下部ロック片部１５７によって、より確実にコネクタ部を仮止めすることができる。

【００７０】
このように構成される第１仮止め部材２００において、第１仮止め部材２００を電気配線の曲がり癖や配設箇所等に応じて所望取付角度に回動させ、例えば、図１３に示すように、第３電気配線１０３や第４電気配線１０４の一端側を第１コネクタ嵌合部２０３の第１係合溝２０４，２０４，…に係合させることにより、第３電気配線１０３の第３コネクタ部１０３ａや第４電気配線１０４の第４コネクタ部１０４ａが第１仮止め部材２００に仮止めされる。また例えば、第３電気配線１０３の一端側をフック部２０５に係合させることにより、第３コネクタ部１０３ａが第１仮止め部材２００に仮止めされる。さらに、電気配線のコネクタ部を第１コネクタ嵌合部２０３と嵌合させ、第１コネクタ嵌合部２０３にコネクタ部を保持させることで、コネクタ部を第１仮止め部材２００に仮止めすることもできる。

第２仮止め部材２１０の他端側には、電気配線のコネクタ部と嵌合する第２コネクタ嵌合部２１３が形成されている。第２コネクタ嵌合部２１３は、四方を囲む方形壁状に形成され、コネクタ部と嵌合することによりコネクタ部を保持するように構成される。
【００７５】
このように構成される第２仮止め部材２１０において、第２仮止め部材２１０を電気配線の曲がり癖や配設箇所等に応じて所望取付角度に回動させ、例えば、図１５に示すように、第２電気配線１０２の第２コネクタ部１０２ａを第２コネクタ嵌合部２０３と嵌合させ、第２コネクタ嵌合部２１３に第２コネクタ部１０２ａを保持させることで、第２コネクタ部１０２ａが第２仮止め部材２１０に仮止めされる。
【００７６】
第３仮止め部材２２０は、樹脂材料を用いて図１６（Ａ）および図１７に示す形状に一体的に形成される。第３仮止め部材２２０の一端側には、上部球寄せカバー５２の上部右方に形成された第３仮止め部材係止溝２２６，２２６に係止する２つの第３仮止め部材係止片部２２１，２２１が形成されている。第３仮止め部材係止片部２２１は、第３仮止め部材２２０の中央部に形成された第３フランジ部２２２から前方へ突出するように形成され、第３仮止め部材係止溝２２６，２２６に第３仮止め部材２２０を後方から挿入すると、第３仮止め部材係止片部２２１が第３仮止め部材係止溝２２６の内側部と当接して弾性変形し、第３仮止め部材２２０が所定取付位置に到達すると、弾性力により第３仮止め部材係止溝２２６の内縁部に係止して第３仮止め部材２２０が上部球寄せカバー５２にスライド移動可能に取り付けられるように構成される。
【００７７】
また、第３仮止め部材２２０の一端側中央には、第３仮止め部材２２０の上部球寄せカバー５２に対する取付高さを一定に保持する高さ保持リブ２２３が形成されている。高さ保持リブ２２３は、第３フランジ部２２２における第３仮止め部材係止片部２２１，２２１の間隙部から前方へ延びるように形成され、第３仮止め部材２２０の所定取付位置において第３仮止め部材係止溝２２６，２２６の間隙部に当接し、第３仮止め部材２２０の上部球寄せカバー５２に対する取付高さを一定に保持するように構成される。第３仮止め部材係止溝２２６，２２６は、図１１および図１６（Ｂ）に示すように、互いに上下に平行して左右へ延びるように形成され、第３仮止め部材２２０が左右へスライド移動可能に取り付けられるように構成される。
【００７８】
そのため、第３仮止め部材２２０を第３仮止め部材係止片部２２１，２２１に後方から挿入すると、２つの第３仮止め部材係止片部２２１，２２１がそれぞれ第３仮止め部材係止溝２２６，２２６の内側部と当接して弾性変形し、第３仮止め部材２２０が所定取付位置に到達すると、第３仮止め部材係止片部２２１，２２１がそれぞれ弾性力により第３仮止め部材係止溝２２６，２２６の内縁部に係止するとともに、高さ保持リブ２２３が第３仮止め部材係止溝２２６，２２６の間隙部に当接し、第３仮止め部材２２０が上部球寄せカバー５２に左右へスライド移動可能に取り付けられる。このとき、高さ保持リブ２２３により第３仮止め部材２２０の上部球寄せカバー５２に対する取付高さが一定に保持される。
【００７９】
上述から分かるように、第３仮止め部材２２０はネジ等の固定手段を用いずに上部球寄せカバー５２に左右へスライド移動可能に取り付けられ、仮止め部材の取付性が向上するとともに、長さの異なる電気配線にも対応することができる。なお、第３仮止め部材２２０は、上部球寄せカバー５２に左右に限らず上下にスライド移動可能に取り付けられてもよい。このようにすれば、第３仮止め部材２２０が上部球寄せカバー５２に左右へスライド移動可能に取り付けられた場合と同様の効果を得ることができる。また、第３仮止め部材係止溝２２６，２２６の間隙部に、高さ保持リブ２２３をスライド移動可能に受容する受容溝（図示せず）を形成してもよい。このようにすれば、第３仮止め部材２２０の上下方向のガタツキを抑えることができる。
【００８０】
第３仮止め部材２２０の他端側には、電気配線を係合保持するための第３配線保持部２２４が形成されている。第３配線保持部２２４は、くわ型形状に形成され、第３配線保持部２２４に電気配線を後方から嵌入すると、電気配線が第３配線保持部２２４と係合して保持されるように構成される。
【００８１】
このように構成される第３仮止め部材２２０において、第３仮止め部材２２０を電気配線の曲がり癖や配設箇所等に応じて所望位置に左右へスライド移動させ、例えば、図１７に示すように、第４電気配線１０４の一端側を第３配線保持部２２４に後方から嵌入すると、第４電気配線１０４の一端側が第３配線保持部２２４と係合して保持されることにより、第４電気配線１０４の第４コネクタ部１０４ａが第３仮止め部材２２０に仮止めされる。そのため、電気配線をより傷めにくい状態で電気配線のコネクタ部を仮止めすることができる。
【００８２】
第４仮止め部材２３０は、樹脂材料を用いて図１８および図１９に示す形状に一体的に形成される。第４仮止め部材２３０の一端側には、上部球寄せカバー５２の上部左方に形成された第４仮止め部材取付ボス２３６と係合する第４仮止め部材係合部２３１が形成されている。第４仮止め部材係合部２３１は、第４仮止め部材取付ボス２３６の外径よりも若干大きな径を有して形成され、第４仮止め部材取付ボス２３６と係合して第４仮止め部材２３０が回動可能となるように構成される。
【００８３】
第４仮止め部材２３０の中央部には、第４仮止め部材取付ネジ２３８が通過する第４仮止め部材取付穴２３２が形成されており、第４仮止め部材係合部２３１と第４仮止め部材取付ボス２３６とが係合した状態で、第４仮止め部材取付ネジ２３８を第４仮止め部材取付穴２３２に通過させて、第４仮止め部材取付ボス２３６に形成されたネジ穴２３７にネジ止め固定することにより、第４仮止め部材２３０が上部球寄せカバー５２に第４仮止め部材取付ボス２３６を中心軸として回動可能に取り付けられる。

【００８５】
このように構成される第４仮止め部材２３０において、第４仮止め部材２３０を電気配線の曲がり癖や配設箇所等に応じて所望取付角度に回動させ、例えば、図１９に示すように、第３電気配線１０３の一端側を第４配線保持部２３３の左右の収容保持リブ２３４，２３４，…により挟持するように収容保持させることで、第３電気配線１０３の第３コネクタ部１０３ａが第４仮止め部材２３０に仮止めされる。
【００８６】
