Description

[0001]
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
  The present inventionRelated to pachinko machines.
[0002]
[Prior art]
  Electronic components are attached to the game board of the pachinko machine for the purpose of detecting the game state or changing the game state based on the game state. These electronic components are mainly composed of an electronic component main body, a holder for protecting the electronic component main body, and a harness for connection (fixed to the electronic component main body). These electronic components are attached so as to penetrate the game board back and forth, and a harness is drawn out to the back side of the game board (Patent Document 1).
  The procedure for manufacturing a game board equipped with electronic parts is generally such that the game board is first face up (upward) and then flowed on the production line, and guide nails or the like that guide the electronic parts and game balls from the surface side of the game board. After the assembly is done, the game board is turned upside down on the line, and this time by connecting the electrical system with the back side of the game board facing the front, that is, connecting the drawn harness etc. Manufactured.
  As described above, since the game board performs the assembling work on both the front side and the back side, a process of turning the game board upside down is necessary.

[0004]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
  According to the above structure, the harness of the electronic component main body is arranged on the back side of the game board, but since it does not have any restraining means, it plays when the game board is turned upside down. Therefore, during the reversing work (the state where the back side of the game board faces the front), the position is not fixed, and in some cases, the harnesses of adjacent game boards may be entangled with each other, or other parts may be assembled. It was covered with space, and from there, work was done to avoid the harness. From the above, it has become one of the factors that cause a decrease in the manufacturing efficiency of pachinko machines.
  Therefore, as a countermeasure, it is possible to constrain the harness in advance with a rubber band and remove the rubber band when performing connection work. However, even in such a case, it takes time to remove the rubber band. However, the removed rubber band is scattered and interferes with the work.
  The present invention has been completed based on the above circumstances, and an object thereof is to provide an electronic component for a pachinko machine that is excellent in assembling workability after restraining a harness.

Then, the opening / closing blade 13A of the working port 13 is opened for a predetermined time.
[0023]
  In the present embodiment, various detection switches (including a passage detection switch 27 described later) are attached to the game board 10 in order to detect the gaming state of the pachinko machine that changes according to the player's operation. Yes. With these detection switches, the winning of the game ball 19 into the operation port 13 or the passage of the passing chucker 25 is detected. A plurality of control boards 21 are attached to the back surface 10B side of the game board 10 via a collective plate 22 having a flat plate shape (see FIG. 7). The control board 21 drives the variable winning device 12, the variable display device 15 and the like based on the detection result of each detection switch, and includes a read only memory (ROM), a central processing unit (CPU), and a random access memory (RAM). Etc. The ROM stores a predetermined control program and initial data in advance, and the CPU executes various arithmetic processes according to the ROM control program.
[0024]
  Next, the passage chucker 25 will be described.
  As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the passage chucker 25 includes a passage detection switch 27 (electronic unit of the present invention) that detects whether or not the game ball 19 has passed.Make up) And a harness 45 attached to the end of the passage detection switch 27 (Composition of the electronic component of the present invention) And a holder 30 for surrounding and protecting the passage detection switch 27.
[0025]
  The holder 30 has a seat surface portion 35 that comes into contact with the surface 10 </ b> A side of the game board 10. In the present embodiment, the seating surface portion 35 is formed in a horizontally long shape, and its outline has a shape with a fish. An insertion hole 35 </ b> A for allowing the passage detection switch 27 to be inserted from the rear is provided in the center portion of the seat surface portion 35 so as to penetrate in the front-rear direction.
[0026]
  A cover portion 31 formed in a U-shape is integrally formed on the surface side of the seat surface portion 35 (left side in FIG. 2). The cover portion 31 penetrates in the vertical direction and allows the game ball 19 to be inserted. Further, a U-shaped support groove 32 that opens inward and into which the passage detection switch 27 can be inserted is provided on the inner surface side of the cover portion 31.
  On the other hand, a pair of support arms 36 and 37 are formed on the back surface side of the seat surface portion 35. The distance between the support arms 36 and 37 is formed to be substantially the same width as the passage detection switch 27. The support arms 36 and 37 and the cover portion 31 are formed so as to communicate with each other, and the passage detection switch 27 can be inserted into the support groove 32 of the cover portion 31 through the insertion hole 35A from the support arms 36 and 37 side. It has become.
[0027]
  Next, the support arms 36 and 37 will be described. The upper edges of the support arms 36 and 37 are constructed by the protective walls 41, and the guide walls 38 that are bent inward are formed at the lower edges of the support arms 36 and 37. Is formed. Among these, the protection wall 41 is for covering and protecting the upper surface 27A side of the passage detection switch 27, and the guide wall 38 is a guide when the passage detection switch 27 is attached.
[0028]
  On the other hand, the length dimension of the passage detection switch 27 is formed so as to be accommodated in the holder 30. That is, in a state where the passage detection switch 27 is assembled to the holder 30 (a state where the passage detection switch 27 is inserted into the cover portion 31), the rear end portion of the passage detection switch 27 and the rear end portions of the support arms 36 and 37 are aligned. Further, in this assembled state, the passage detection switch 27 is prevented from being removed by the support arm 36 of the holder 30 (right support arm in the figure). More specifically, the left support arm 37 is formed with a guide wall 38 over its entire length, but the right support arm 36 has a lower edge portion cut off at the base end side. Therefore, the guide wall 38 is interrupted at a position near the base end, and only the vertical wall portion along the right end surface 27B of the passage detection switch 27 extends rearward. The vertical wall portion can be elastically expanded, and an inward lock claw 39 is formed at the tip portion. When the passage detection switch 27 is attached to the holder 30, the right support arm 36 is elastically displaced outward in the horizontal direction to allow the passage detection switch 27 to be inserted. When it is housed, it returns and locks to the rear end of the passage detection switch 27.
[0029]
  The passage detection switch 27 has a detection hole 28 that allows the game ball 19 to pass through at a portion inserted into the cover portion 31 of the holder 30 (a portion protruding toward the surface 10A side of the game board 10). This passage detection switch 27 constitutes a passage-type proximity switch, and when the game ball 19 passes through the detection hole 28, it is detected as an electrical signal. As for the detection method, for example, a method is used in which a current is passed through the detection hole 28 to measure a magnetic field fluctuation due to the passage of the game ball 19, a method in which light shielding by the game ball 19 passing through is detected by an optical sensor, or a microswitch However, any method can be adopted.
[0030]
  The harness 45 is provided with connectors 46 and 47 at both ends, respectively, and the connector 46 is inserted in a state in which it is prevented from being pulled out at the rear end of the passage detection switch 27. When the passage chucker 25 is attached to the game board 10, the harness 45 is inserted into the attachment hole 14 of the game board 10 together with the passage detection switch 27 and pulled out to the back surface 10 </ b> B side of the game board 10. Yes.
[0031]
  By the way, in the state before attaching the passing chucker 25 to the game board 10 in the holder 30, accommodation for temporarily holding the harness 45 in a short folded state is provided.Part 43 is formed. More specifically, as shown in FIG. 3, a gap is set between the protective wall 41 formed on the holder 30 and the upper surface 27A of the assembled passage detection switch 27. The passage detection switch A housing portion 43 capable of holding the harness 45 is formed by the upper surface 27 </ b> A of 27 and the inner wall of the protective wall 41. The accommodating part 43 penetrates back and forth, and the harness 45 can be inserted from the rear side of the seat surface part 35 toward the cover part 31 side.
[0032]
  Therefore, as shown in the figure, when the harness 45 is bundled in an elongated loop shape in advance and the harness 45 is pushed into the housing portion 43 in this state, the harness 45 has a distal end side of the housing portion 43 and the seat surface portion 35. It passes through the insertion hole 35 </ b> A and is inserted to a position where it abuts on the inner wall 31 </ b> A of the cover portion 31. At this time, the harness 45 is inserted while expanding in the width direction due to its own elasticity, but when the harness 45 spreads to some extent, the outer peripheral portion of the harness 45 abuts against the inner wall of the housing portion 43 and the position is regulated in that state. Therefore, even if the operator releases the hand, the harness 45 is held in a posture along the left and right inner side walls of the housing portion 43 and the left and right inner side walls 31A of the cover portion 31 while the harness 45 is inserted into the holder 30. The portion protruding from 30 is also corrected so as to extend substantially in parallel from the left and right sides of the accommodating portion 43 and have a width dimension that falls within the width dimension of the accommodating portion 43. Thus, the harness 45 is temporarily held in the depth direction of the game board 10, that is, in the direction along the insertion direction into the mounting hole 14.
[0033]
  The accommodation portion 43 is intended to temporarily hold the harness 45 until the regular connection operation is started. When the harness 45 is temporarily released, the connector 47 is grasped to accommodate the entire harness 45. What is necessary is just to pull out from the part 43. The opening 43A on the rear side of the accommodating portion 43 corresponds to the doorway of the present invention.
  Further, screw holes 35B for fixing the holder are formed on the left and right sides of the seat surface portion 35 of the holder 30, and a pair of positioning projections 35C are formed to protrude inward on the left and right sides of the seat surface portion 35. The game board 10 is provided with positioning holes 14 </ b> A for fitting with the positioning protrusions 35 </ b> C of the holder 30.
[0034]
  Next, an operation procedure for attaching the passing chucker 25 to the game board 10 will be described with reference to FIGS.
  First, in order to assemble the passage chucker 25 itself, the support arm 36 on the side where the lock claw 39 is provided is expanded outward in the horizontal direction, and the passage detection switch 27 is directed to the guide wall 38 of the holder 30. Push into cover 31. The pushed passage detection switch 27 is guided by the guide wall 38 and enters the cover portion 31 side. When the rear end of the passage detection switch 27 passes through the lock claw 39 of the right support arm 36, the right support The arm 36 is elastically restored and locked to the rear end of the passage detection switch 27, so that the passage detection switch 27 is held in the retaining state with respect to the holder 30. In this state, the detection hole 28 of the passage detection switch 27 is aligned with the opening of the cover portion 31, and the game ball 19 can be inserted vertically.
[0035]
  Subsequently, the harness 45 connected to the rear end of the passage detection switch 27 is bundled in an elongated loop shape so that the connector 47 is positioned at the front end portion thereof.
  Then, the harness 45 is placed along the upper surface 27A of the passage detection switch 27, and from that state, the gap 45 between the upper surface 27A and the protective wall 41 of the holder 30, that is, the accommodating portion 43 is inserted from the rear. Then, when the leading end portion of the harness 45 is inserted to a position where it substantially contacts the leading end of the cover portion 31, the assembly of the passage detection switch 27 is completed.
[0036]
  In this state, the inserted harness 45 extends into the housing portion 43 and the outer periphery of the harness 45 abuts against the inner wall of the housing portion 43. As a result, as shown in FIG. 4, the position of the entire harness 45 is regulated and temporarily held in a direction along the insertion direction of the game board 10 into the mounting hole 14. Further, in this temporary holding state, the connector 47 is not located in the accommodating portion 43 but is located on the distal end side that is pulled out from the accommodating portion 43.
  In this way, the assembly work of the passing chucker 25 is performed. Since these are performed in a separate process from the assembly of the passing chucker 25 with respect to the game board 10, the batching of the passing chucker 25 is collectively performed. Then, it is sent to the production line of the game board 10.
[0037]
  Next, a manufacturing process of the pachinko machine (an assembly process of the passing chucker 25 with respect to the game board 10) will be described.
  The game board 10 is manufactured by a flow operation in which a plurality of game boards 10 are simultaneously flowed on a production line, and an operator performs individual assembly work for each process.
  First, as shown in FIG. 4, the game board 10 is flowed to the production line with the surface 10 </ b> A side facing upward, and the assembly operation on the surface 10 </ b> A side is performed. That is, the guide nail 18 is planted, or each device such as the variable winning device 12 and the variable display device 15 is attached. In the process of assembling these devices, the passing chucker 25 is also attached.
[0038]
  In order to attach the passing chucker 25, after the passing chucker 25 in a bundled state is taken out, it is made to face the mounting hole 14 of the game board 10, and the positioning projection 35C of the holder 30 positions the gaming board 10 The position is adjusted so as to match the hole 14A. In the state before the assembly, the harness 45 is folded back briefly and temporarily held in the depth direction of the game board 10.
[0039]
  Therefore, if the passage detection switch 27 is inserted into the mounting hole 14 from the surface 10A side of the game board 10 from this state, the harness 45 is inserted without interfering with the mounting hole 14. And if the seating surface part 35 of the holder 30 contacts the surface 10A side of the game board 10, this time, if the holder 30 is screwed, the whole passage chucker 25 can be fixed to the game board 10. FIG. 5 shows the assembled state of the passage chucker 25. The rear end side of the passage detection switch 27 is housed in the mounting hole 14 of the game board 10, and the rear surface 10B side of the game board 10 is The front end side (connector 47) of the bundled harness 45 protrudes.
[0040]
  When the mounting work on the front surface 10A side of the game board 10 is completed, the control board 21 is mounted on the back surface 10B side of the game board 10 and the wiring work thereof is connected (corresponding to the regular connection work of the present invention). . For this purpose, the game board 10 is turned upside down on the production line, and as shown in FIG. 6, this time, the game board 10 is made to flow on the production line with the back surface 10B side facing up. And the assembly board 22 etc. to which the control board 21 etc. were attached are attached, and after that, the apparatus side and the control board 21 are connected by a signal line or the like. In order to connect the passage chucker 25 to the control board 21, the connector 47 that is pulled out to the back surface 10 </ b> B of the game board 10 is grasped by hand and pulled straight. Then, since the entire harness 45 is pulled out from the housing portion 43, the temporary holding of the harness 45 is released. Thereafter, as shown in FIG. 7, if the connector 47 is inserted into the mating connector 21A on the control board 21 side, the wiring work is completed.
[0041]
  Thus, according to the present embodiment, the passage chucker 25 is provided with the accommodating portion 43, and the harness 45 can be temporarily held until the regular connection work is started. Even if 10 is reversed, the harness 45 between adjacent game boards 10 does not get entangled, and the harness does not interfere with the surrounding work. Further, since the holding portion is integrally attached, it is not detached from the holder during the assembling work and is not scattered on the assembling line.
  In addition, since the structure is simple, the shape of the holder 30 is not particularly complicated as compared with the existing structure, and the cost is not increased.
[0042]
  Second Embodiment
  Next, a second embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS.
  In the first embodiment, the holding portion (accommodating portion) for temporarily holding the harness 45 is set by the gap between the protective wall 41 and the passage detection switch 27. However, in the second embodiment, the wall body 50 is attached to the holder 30. While being provided, the accommodating part 51 is formed directly with respect to this wall body 50. Since other configurations are the same as those in the first embodiment, the same components are denoted by the same reference numerals, and redundant description is omitted.
[0043]
  9 and 10, the wall body 50 is formed along the upper surface 27A of the passage detection switch 27, and is also provided on the rear end surface (FIG. 9) of the wall body 50 or the left end surface (FIG. 10) of the wall body 50, respectively. An opening is provided to temporarily hold the harness 45 in the depth direction of the game board 10 (FIG. 9) or in the left-right direction of the game board 10 (FIG. 10).
  On the other hand, in FIG. 11, the wall body 50 is set in a direction substantially orthogonal to the passage detection switch 27, and an opening is provided in the upper end surface of the wall body 50 so that the harness 45 is temporarily oriented along the vertical direction of the game board 10. It is to hold.
[0044]
  As described above, when the wall body 50 is provided on the holder 30 and the housing portion 51 is formed therein, the harness 45 is not only along the depth direction of the game board 10 but also along the back surface 10B of the game board 10. It can be temporarily held in the direction, that is, the left-right direction of the game board 10 and the up-down direction of the game board 10. By temporarily holding the harness 45 in such a form, when the passing chucker 25 is attached to the game board 10, the amount of protrusion of the harness 45 protruding to the back side of the game board 10 can be set small.
  Further, as shown in FIG. 10, a mounting seat 54 is provided on the back surface side of the seat surface portion 35 and on the side of the passage detection switch 27. The mounting seat 54 is for mounting, for example, a circuit board (not shown) to which an LED or the like is mounted. As shown in the figure, the harness 45 can be pulled out along the mounting seat 54. For example, the support of the harness 45 is stable even when the amount of drawing out from the housing portion 51 is large.
[0045]
<Reference Example 1>
  next,Reference example 1Will be described with reference to FIGS.
  In the first and second embodiments, the holding portion for temporarily holding the harness 45 is formed by the accommodating portion 43 that can accommodate the harness 45.This reference example 1Then, the elastic piece 63 is used. Since other configurations are the same as those in the first embodiment, the same components are denoted by the same reference numerals, and redundant description is omitted.
[0046]
  As shown in FIG. 12, a harness 45 is temporarily placed above both support arms 36 and 37 of the holder 30 between upper end surfaces 36A and 37A of the support arms 36 and 37 (corresponding to the base of the means 11). A cantilevered elastic piece 63 having a retaining groove 61 that can be held is integrally formed.
  The elastic piece 63 is formed horizontally along the upper end surfaces 36A, 37A of the support arms 36, 37, and one end side thereof is connected to the base end side of the support arms 36, 37 to be a fixed end. On the other hand, the other end side is a free end, and the elastic piece 63 can be elastically displaced in the vertical direction.
[0047]
  On the lower surface side of the free end of the elastic piece 63, a retaining protrusion 64 is provided so as to protrude downward. The tip of the retaining protrusion 64 is close to the upper end surfaces 36A, 37A, and the clearance between the distal end of the retaining projection 64 and the upper end surfaces 36A, 37A is set to a clearance that prevents the harness 45 from coming out (locking). The groove 61 is set to be substantially closed). Thus, the elastic piece 63 is always in a horizontal posture and temporarily holds the harness 45 in the locking groove 61. On the other hand, if the elastic piece 63 is elastically displaced upward from this state, the retaining protrusion 64 is separated from the upper end surfaces 36A, 37A of the support arms 36, 37 to release the locking groove 61, The temporary holding of the harness 45 is set to be released.
[0048]
  Further, on the back surface of the seating surface portion 35 and on the side of the support arm 36, a rod-shaped support column 40 is formed at the same height as the elastic piece 63.
  Accordingly, as shown in FIG. 13, the harness 45 is pulled from the end of the passage detection switch 27 to the base end side of the elastic piece 63, passes over the elastic piece 63, and turns to the left. In addition, the column 40 is folded back 180 degrees and inserted into the locking groove 61. After that, it is further folded back 180 ° on the upper surface side of the elastic piece 63 and wound around the support column 40 again. In this manner, the harness 45 is alternately wound around the support column 40 and the elastic piece 63 and temporarily held in a horizontal posture along the left-right direction of the game board 10.
  This state corresponds to a state in which the elastic piece of the present invention is bent so as to be wound and one end side thereof is inserted into the locking groove.
  Moreover, since the support | pillar 40 aims at stabilizing the wiring direction in the temporary holding | maintenance state of the harness 45, the width dimension of the support arm 36 or the width dimension of the elastic piece 63 (A shown to the same figure). It is not always necessary to provide sufficient dimensions).
[0049]
  Further, an upward detachment projection 65 is formed on the distal end side of the upper surface of the elastic piece 63. The detachment prevention protrusion 65 abuts on the harness 45 located on the upper surface side of the elastic piece 63 and works together with the retention protrusion 64 to prevent the harness 45 from being removed from the locking groove 61. Accordingly, the release prevention protrusion 65 is not an essential component, but if it is set, the harness 45 is double-stopped and the temporary holding is stabilized.
[0050]
  In Reference Example 1,A pair of left and right elastic pieces 63 and struts 40 are provided. If it is set as such a structure, as shown in FIG. 14, the harness 45 can be pulled out also to the right side of the figure. Therefore, when a large device such as the variable display device 15 is arranged between the use conditions, that is, as shown in FIG. 1, between the passage chuckers 25, the harnesses 45 of the passage chuckers 25 are respectively avoided by avoiding these devices. Must be temporarily held in the opposite direction (for example, one side is in the right direction and the other side is in the left direction). Therefore, it is possible to meet these requirements by adopting a configuration in which the routing direction can be selected.
[0051]
  Further, the elastic piece 63 is formed integrally with the support arms 36 and 37. However, the elastic piece 63 is bent in the vertical direction, and the support arm 36 is expanded in the horizontal direction. The direction is set to be almost orthogonal.
  Therefore, even if the temporary holding release operation of the harness 45, that is, the operation of bending the elastic piece 63 is performed, the support arm 36 does not expand along with it. Therefore, there is no possibility that the passage detection switch 27 is accidentally dropped during the temporary holding release operation of the harness 45, and the reliability of supporting the passage detection switch 27 is increased.
[0052]
<Reference Example 2>
  next,Reference example 2Will be described with reference to FIGS.
  Reference example 1Then, the locking groove 61 for temporarily holding the harness 45 is formed between the elastic piece 63 and the upper end surfaces 36A, 37A of the support arms 36, 37.Reference example 2In FIG. 2, the locking groove 71 is set between the elastic piece 72 and the upper surface 27A of the passage detection switch 27, and the harness 45 is temporarily held by the plurality of elastic pieces 72 in the temporary holding state. As shown in FIG. 16, a pair of front and rear elastic pieces 72 are provided on the upper end surface 36 </ b> A (which may be on the support arm 37 side) of the support arm 36 in a direction along the left-right direction of the game board 10. On the free end side of each elastic piece 72, a retaining protrusion 73 is provided downward. The tip of the retaining protrusion 73 is close to the upper surface 27A of the passage detection switch 27, and the locking groove 71 capable of temporarily holding the harness 45 is formed by the elastic piece 72 and the upper surface 27A of the passage detection switch 27. .
[0053]
  Since these elastic pieces 72 are arranged in the depth direction of the game board 10, the harness 45 is retained at two locations while being wound around the both elastic pieces 72 and temporarily held in a direction along the depth direction of the game board 10. The Thus, if it is set as the structure which supports the multiple places of the harness 45 (prevention), the support of the harness 45 in a temporary holding state will be stabilized. Since other configurations are the same as those in the first embodiment, the same components are denoted by the same reference numerals, and redundant description is omitted.
[0054]
  <Reference example 3>
  Reference Example 3 will be described with reference to FIGS.
  In the first and second embodiments and reference examples 1 and 2,The holder 30 integrally forms a cover portion 31 that covers the passage detection switch 27 and a support arm 36 for holding the passage detection switch 27.In Reference Example 3,These are configured separately (the holder 81 is composed of the holder main body 82 and the switch holder 86), and the holding portion for holding the harness 45 is configured by the hook-shaped locking claw 91.
[0055]
  In this way, the holder 81 is configured as a separate component in a pachinko machine of a different model, or in a pachinko machine of a different design but of the same type, the design of the holder 30 according to the design of the surface of the game board 10. May be changed. In this case, if the holder 81 is composed of the holder main body 82 and the switch holder 86 and only the holder main body 82 having a different appearance according to the variation of each pachinko machine is newly provided, the switch holder 86 can be shared. I can do it. In other words, it is possible to reduce the mold cost of the holder at a lower cost compared to the case where the entire holder is newly installed for each variation of the pachinko machine.
[0056]
  The specific structure of the holder 81 will be described. The holder main body 82 is integrally formed with a cover portion 84 through which the game ball 19 is inserted and a seat surface portion 83 that can come into contact with the game board 10. The cover portion 84 is formed in a U-shape and penetrates in the vertical direction so that the game ball 19 can be inserted. On the other hand, an insertion hole 83 </ b> A communicating with the cover portion 84 is provided in the central portion of the seat surface portion 83, so that the switch holder 86 and the passage detection switch 27 described below are inserted into the cover portion 84 from here. It has become.
[0057]
  The switch holder 86 includes a rectangular tube-shaped fitting tube 87 into which the passage detection switch 27 can be fitted, and a pair of lock arms 88 extending to the back side of the figure on the front side and a rear end side on the front side. Similarly, a pair of support arms 89 is formed. Among them, the support arm 89 is provided with an inward lock claw 89A on the tip side thereof, and this is for holding the passage detection switch 27 inserted into the fitting cylinder 87 in a retaining state. is there.
[0058]
  On the other hand, the lock arm 88 is provided with an outward lock claw 88A on the tip side. The lock claw 88A is for locking to the holder main body 82 side, and a receiving groove 84A that can be formed with the lock claw 88A is provided on the inner wall of the cover portion 84 of the holder main body 82. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 19, when the switch holder 86 is inserted from the insertion hole 83 </ b> A of the seat surface portion 83 toward the cover portion 84, the lock claw 88 </ b> A of the lock arm 88 is engaged with the receiving groove 84 </ b> A of the cover portion 84. It has become. As a result, the switch holder 86 and thus the passage detection switch 27 can be fixed to the holder body 82.
[0059]
  Incidentally, the switch holder 86 is provided with a holding portion for holding the harness 45 in a short folded state, that is, a hook-shaped locking claw 91. More specifically, a flat arm portion 92 extending along the support arm 89 is disposed above the right support arm 89, and its base end is connected to the end surface of the fitting cylinder 87. ing. A hook-shaped hook portion 93 is provided inwardly on the distal end side of the arm portion 92, and the entire arm constitutes a hook-shaped locking claw 91 that can hold the harness 45. That is, as shown in FIG. 19, the harness 45 is attached so as to wind up the arm portion 92 up and down, and temporarily held by inserting the bent portion wound around the arm portion 92 into the hook portion 93. It has become so.
  Since other configurations are the same as those in the first embodiment, the duplicate description is omitted.
[0060]
  <Reference example 4>
  Reference example 4Will be described with reference to FIGS.
In the first and second embodiments or reference examples 1 to 3,Temporary holding is a form of restraining the harness 45 itself,Reference example 4Supports the connector 47 provided at the tip of the harness 45. As a structure for supporting the connector 47, for example, as shown in FIG. 21, the connector 47 is provided with a locking piece 47A, and the support arm 36 of the holder 30 is provided with a receiving portion 94 that can be fitted to the locking piece 47A. The connector 47 may be supported by inserting the locking piece 47A into the receiving portion 94.
  With such a configuration, the supporting portion is stabilized as compared with the type that supports the harness 45, and since it can be released by pulling the harness 45 in the releasing direction, it is excellent in workability.
[0061]
  <Reference Example 5>
  Reference Example 5Will be described with reference to FIGS.
  In the first and second embodiments or the reference examples 1 to 4.The holding part was a form that temporarily holds the harness 45 at the time before the regular connection work is started.Reference Example 5In this case, even after the regular connection work is completed, the holding part holds (partially holds) a part of the harness 45 in an auxiliary manner.
[0062]
  As shown in FIG. 23, the holding portion is composed of a cantilevered elastic piece 75 formed on the distal end side of the support arm 37. The elastic pieces 75 are provided with a pair of locking grooves 77 capable of holding (temporarily holding and partially holding) the harness 45, and a pair of elastic pieces 75 are provided with a retaining protrusion 75A inwardly at the tip portions of both elastic pieces 75. The locking groove 77 is closed. In this case, the elastic piece 75 constitutes the base of the means 11.
[0063]
  As shown in the figure, in a state before being attached to the game board 10, the harness 45 is drawn from the end of the passage detection switch 27 to the base end side of the elastic piece 75 and then passed through the locking groove 77. Then, it is pulled out to the left side of the figure. After that, it is folded 180 degrees to change its direction, and it is folded again 180 degrees while passing through the lower side of the elastic piece 75. Then, it passes through the locking groove 77 and is pulled out to the left side of the figure. By repeating this several times, the harness 45 is folded back briefly and temporarily held in a state along the length direction of the holder 30.
[0064]
  In this state, the game board 10 is assembled. FIG. 24 is a cross-sectional view showing a state in which the assembly with respect to the game board 10 is completed, but the harness 45 is arranged along the back surface of the game board 10 (in this embodiment, the orientation is along the left-right direction of the game board). ) still,Reference Example 5The overall length dimension (L dimension in the figure) of the temporarily held harness is wider than the mounting hole 14 of the game board 10, but when the harness 45 is attached to the game board 10, the connector 47 and the harness 45 Of these, the portion protruding from the attachment hole 14 may be corrected in advance in the direction along the attachment hole 14 in advance, and attachment may be performed in that state.
[0065]
  After the assembly with respect to the game board 10 is completed, the regular connection work of the harness 45 is performed. thisReference exampleIn the normal connection work, only a part of the harness 45 in the temporary holding state is temporarily released (for example, three turns if the elastic piece 75 is wound five times in the temporary holding state). The remaining part (two windings) of the harness 45 is kept temporarily held, and the connector 47 is connected to the control board 21 side in that state. Insert it into the mating connector 21A. As described above, even after the normal connection work is completed, the following effects can be obtained by using the holding unit to hold (partially hold) a part of the harness 45. That is, when other pachinko machines and the passage chucker 25 are used in common, it is necessary to adjust the length of the harness to the longest specification. The actual length of the harness 45 is longer than the length of the harness 45. For this reason, there is a case where the harness 45 may play after the connection to the control board 21 is completed. Further, such a play portion may cover an installation space for other parts and interfere with assembly. However, if a part of the harness 45 is held by the holding portion (elastic piece 75), the harness 45 is always bundled so as to have an appropriate length after the normal connection operation is completed. I can do it.
[0066]
  As described above, the retaining protrusion 75A is provided at the tip of the elastic piece 75, but the retaining protrusion 75A is not an essential configuration. That is, if the width dimension of the locking groove 77 is set to be approximately the same as or somewhat smaller than the wire diameter of the harness 45 and the harness 45 in the locking groove 77 is sandwiched by both elastic pieces 75, The harness 45 can be held without providing the retaining protrusion 75A. Further, by adopting such a configuration (a configuration in which the inward projection 75A is not provided), the structure of the mold for manufacturing the holder 30 (die cutting) is facilitated, and the manufacturing cost is reduced.
