Description

[0001]
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a ball game machine in which a game board on which board parts such as a central device are mounted is constituted by a plurality of divided board parts.
[0002]
[Prior art]
A pachinko gaming machine, which is one of the ball game machines, has a front frame attached to the front surface of a machine frame having a vertical rectangular frame shape, and a game board is attached to the front frame. In addition, a glass door frame is mounted on the front surface of the front frame, together with a front plate on which a hitting ball supply tray is provided so as to cover the front surface of the game board. Furthermore, the lower front surface of the front frame is provided with an excess ball storage tray at the center and an operation handle for adjusting the hitting force of the hit ball located on one side thereof.
[0003]
Generally, the game board is formed into a substantially square or circular shape by polymerizing plywood. Then, a so-called cell plate made of synthetic resin, which is a decorative plate, is attached to the front surface via an adhesive, and many panel parts are mounted on the front surface. The board components include, for example, inner and outer guide rails installed in a spiral shape on the front of the game board, a central device such as a variable display device and a large prize-winning device arranged almost at the center, a prize opening, and a prize There are equipment, windmills and obstacle nails.
[0004]
Therefore, the gaming board is subjected to router processing in order to open a mounting hole therefor in the initial stage due to the mounting of board components such as a central device and a prize opening. More specifically, a game board having a predetermined design drawing on the surface is arranged and fixed on the table, and the table and the blade installed above the table are mechanically controlled so that they are relatively vertically and horizontally within the plane. The blades are moved and cut by rotating the blades so as to form mounting holes in the game board.
[0005]
By the way, when making a mounting hole in a game board with a conventional router processing device, the cutter is driven to rotate along the inner peripheral edge of the mounting hole, but the contents are not left as they are, and the cutter is placed in a plane. In this case, the entire portion surrounded by the mounting hole is scraped off by moving relative to each other vertically and horizontally. The reason why the entire mounting hole is cut and discarded as cutting waste is that the cutting waste that is powder can be incinerated more quickly. In addition, since a large amount of cutting waste flies in the air during processing, the cutting waste floating in the dust collection duct is sucked.
[0006]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
However, since the game board has a predetermined size and is stored until the cell plate is pasted after molding, the game board warps by absorbing moisture in the air over time. Sometimes. If the game board is warped in this way, the accuracy of the hole processing for mounting the board surface parts and the mounting position of the obstacle nail is likely to go wrong, and also when the game board is mounted at a predetermined position on the front frame, There is a problem that it is difficult to mount due to distortion.
[0007]
In addition, for example, when there are board parts such as winning devices, and some of them are old and it is time to replace them, even if there are other board parts that can still be used, Since it takes a cumbersome work to remove, the entire game board is unavoidably discarded as it is, and the current situation is that it has not been sufficiently reduced, reused, or recycled, resulting in an increase in the amount of garbage. In addition, when the game board is separated, there are problems that the work of removing and separating them is very troublesome because many board parts are mounted on the game board.
[0008]
By the way, recently, there is a tendency for the central device to be mounted almost at the center of the game board, that is, the variable display device, to become very large, and thus it takes a lot of time to router the mounting hole. The efficiency cannot be improved, and the dust collection duct operates, but the cutting waste is scattered as dust in the working room, and the working environment is very bad. Moreover, the amount of the discharged cutting waste is large. There is a problem that not only the amount of processing as garbage becomes increased, leading to a problem of dust, but also the adhesive and the cell plate contain dioxin, and there is a concern about environmental pollution when incinerated.
By the way, 60% of the total weight of pachinko machines is required to be reused for recycling.
[0009]
Therefore, the present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and the gaming board is constituted by a plurality of divided board parts, and by providing these in an exchangeable manner, the warping of the gaming board can be suppressed and it is economical. In addition, it is intended to provide a ball game machine that can perform reduction etc. sufficiently, further requires less router processing, improves the working environment, and reduces the generation of cutting waste as garbage. It is.
[0010]
