  Next, the unlocking and locking of the transparent plate holding frame 130 with respect to the frame base 10 will be described. When a store clerk in the game hall inserts a predetermined key (not shown) into the cylinder lock 192 and rotates it counterclockwise, the biasing force of the spring The actuating member descends against this. For this reason, the engagement between the engagement opening of the operating member and the lock hook 149a is released, and the transparent plate holding frame 130 is opened. On the other hand, when closing the opened transparent plate holding frame 130, the transparent plate holding frame 130 is pushed in as it is so that the lock hook 149 a passes through the hook communication hole 21 formed in the frame base 10 and enters the communication port 196 of the lock device 190. It penetrates and penetrates into a part of the engaging opening of the rising actuating member. By further pressing in this state, the actuating member rises against the biasing force of the spring due to the contact between the inclined portion at the lower end of the front end of the lock hook 149a and the engagement opening, and finally the engagement opening is connected to the lock hook 149a. The operating member is raised by the biasing force of the spring at the engaging position, and the lock hook portion 149a and the engagement opening are completely locked. The unlocking of the transparent plate holding frame 130 can also be performed by depressing the operation unit 196 with the frame base 10 opened.

  The members constituting the transparent plate holding frame 130 have been described in detail above. However, the transparent plate holding frame 130 completed by assembling these components is the same as the width of the frame base 10 as described above. Since it has a width dimension, as shown in FIG. 1, the front upper part of the ball game machine 1 can be visually recognized through the transparent plate holding frame 130 and the glass 131 of the transparent plate holding frame 130. 102 enters the player's field of view.
