At this time, since both elastic arms 15 and 15 are slidably in contact with the inner peripheral wall 24 a, the ends of the elastic arms 15 and 15 protrude into the receiving portions 20 and 20 even though they try to extend unnecessarily toward the mounting substrate 1. It will be regulated. Therefore, an excessive external force is not applied to the elastic arms 15, 15, and breakage is prevented.
[0018]
Further, when the winning device A is pushed in, as shown in FIG. 9, the locking claws 16 and 16 are detached from the mounting holes 24, and both elastic arms 15 and 15 are elastically restored to their original shapes due to their elastic restoration. The front side surfaces 16 a, 16 a of both the locking claws 16, 16 abut against and engage with the outer peripheral edge on the back side of the mounting hole 24, and at the same time, each positioning pin 23 is inserted into each positioning hole 25 and the winning device A is attached to the mounting hole 24. It will be inserted and fixed to. The back surface of the receiving portion 20 is located slightly inside the back surface of the game board B as shown in FIG. 9, and the movement of the locking claw 16 from the receiving portion 20 to the outer peripheral edge on the back side of the mounting hole 24 is smooth. In addition, since the elastic arm 15 is always arranged at the normal position and no excessive force is applied, the winning device A is firmly fixed by always exerting a predetermined elastic force.
[0019]
Further, in the pachinko gaming machine installed in the pachinko hall, it is necessary to repair / replace the winning device A. In this case, the both elastic arms 15, 15 are picked from the back side of the gaming board B, The winning device A may be pulled out to the front side of the mounting hole 24 by bending them inward so that they can pass through the mounting hole 24. Further, in order to attach the winning device A to the game board B, it can be fitted and fixed in the mounting hole 24 in the same manner as described above. Thus, the winning device A can be easily attached and detached from the front side of the mounting substrate 1, and the elastic arm for fixing the winning device can be used for a long time without breakage or sag.
[0020]
In the present embodiment, both elastic arms 15 and 15 are integrally provided on the engaging member 14, and the engaging member 14 is formed separately and fastened to the frame 5 with screws 18 and 18. However, the box 7 and both elastic arms 15 and 15 can be integrally formed. That is, as shown in FIG. 10, ridges 26 projecting backward are integrally formed at predetermined positions on both sides of the back surface of the box 7, and the outer surface of the side wall of the box 7 is formed at both upper and lower ends of the ridge 26. And a pair of elastic arms 15a, 15a that are arranged in the axial direction of the frame body 5 and face the front side and have a side arc shape. In this case, the tips of the locking claws 16 of both elastic arms 15a, 15a may abut against the receiving portion 20, but the horizontally long annular frame without providing the receiving portion 20 within a designable range. 6 may be abutted against the rear end face. At this time, it is desirable that the rear end surface portion 6a of the horizontally long annular frame 6 against which the front end of the locking claw 16 abuts be an inclined surface inclined inward. This is because when the elastic arm 15a is bent, the operation can be smoothly performed without being caught.
[0021]
In the present invention, the prize winning device A has been described as a board part, but other board parts such as a windmill, a general winning opening, and a lamp decoration can be used in the same manner. Therefore, in the present embodiment, since it is the winning device A, the frame 5 is composed of a horizontally long annular frame 6 on the back surface of the mounting substrate 1 and a box 7 that fits in the horizontally long annular frame 6. However, since the windmill and the general prize opening are different from such a configuration, the frame body 5 including these cases shows the entire portion that fits into the mounting hole 24, and the elastic arm 15 is the frame body. Needless to say, it may be formed integrally or separately with 5.
