【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は、遊技盤の表面に取り付けられる取付基板と装置本体とから構成される特別入賞装置を備えたパチンコ機に関し、特に、該特別入賞装置の装置本体の前面側に取付基板を取り付けるための複数の取付部を設けることにより、特別入賞装置のデザイン変更において、異なる取付基板を同一の装置本体に取り付けることが更に容易に行え、装置本体の共通化を図ると共に、取付基板のデザイン変更の更なる容易化を図ることができるパチンコ機に関するものである。
【０００２】
【従来の技術】
従来より、遊技盤の表面に取り付けられる取付基板と装置本体とから構成される特別入賞装置を備えたパチンコ機が種々提案されている。
例えば、特開平１１−３３３０７６号公報に記載されたパチンコ機の変動入賞装置では、遊技盤の表面に取り付ける取付基板と、可動球受部材及び該可動球受部材を打球を受け入れない第１状態又は打球を受け入れ易い第２状態とに変換する電気的駆動源等を設けた装置本体とをそれぞれ別々に形成して一体化させるように構成されている。
【０００３】
これにより、取付基板のデザイン変更が容易に可能となると共に、装置本体の継続使用が可能となって非常に経済的である。
【０００４】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
しかしながら、上述した特開平１１−３３３０７６号公報に記載されたパチンコ機の変動入賞装置においては、前飾板１３は、該前飾板１３の裏面に突設した断面形状が四角形の嵌合筒１４を、装置本体２０の前面側に突出する箱状の球受枠２３の外側に嵌合させることによって取り付けられるため、前飾板１３の裏面に嵌合筒１４を常に突設させなければならず、前飾り板１３の装置本体２０への取り付け部分のデザイン変更ができないという問題がある。また、装置本体２０を遊技盤ａの裏面側に取り付けた後に、前飾り板１３を該遊技盤ａの前面に取り付けなければならず、変動入賞装置１の取り付け作業が煩雑であるという問題がある。
【０００５】
そこで、本発明は、上述した問題点を解決するためになされたものであり、特別入賞装置の装置本体の前面側に取付基板を取り付けるための複数の取付部を設けることにより、特別入賞装置のデザイン変更において、異なる取付基板を同一の装置本体に取り付けることが更に容易に行え、装置本体の共通化を図ると共に、取付基板のデザイン変更の更なる容易化を図ることができるパチンコ機を提供することを目的とする。
【０００６】
【課題を解決するための手段】
前記目的を達成するため請求項１に係るパチンコ機は、遊技領域に設けられて、前面中央部に設けられた横長の大入賞口が一定条件下で開放されて遊技者に有利な状態となる特別入賞装置を備えたパチンコ機において、前記特別入賞装置は、略板状で遊技盤の表面に取り付けられるものであって中央部に前記大入賞口を覆う開閉扉が嵌め込まれる横長の開口部が開設されて該開口部の左右両外側の裏側に第１結合部及び第２結合部のうちの一方が所定高さ突設された取付基板と、前記取付基板の裏側に取り付けられて前記大入賞口が前面中央部に形成されると共に、該大入賞口の左右両外側に断面略四角形で前記第１結合部及び第２結合部の高さに等しい所定深さの凹部が設けられる装置本体とを備え、前記装置本体は、前記取付基板が取り付けられる前面側に設けられた各凹部の奥側端面において、前記第１結合部が設けられた取付基板に取り付けられる際に選択される第１貫通孔と所定深さの第１位置決め孔とが該各凹部の奥側端面の左右水平方向内側に上下に配置された第１取付部と、前記第２結合部が設けられた取付基板に取り付けられる際に選択される第２貫通孔と所定深さの第２位置決め孔とが該各凹部の奥側端面の左右水平方向外側に上下に配置された第２取付部とが設けられ、該装置本体は、前記第１結合部が設けられた取付基板に対しては、該第１結合部の裏側端面部の前記第１貫通孔に対向する位置に形成されたビス孔と前記第１位置決め孔に対向する位置に形成された位置決め突起とを前記第１取付部の第１貫通孔と第１位置決め孔にそれぞれ結合させることで位置決めされて取り付けられるとともに、前記第２結合部が設けられた取付基板に対しては、該第２結合部の裏側端面部の前記第２貫通孔に対向する位置に形成されたビス孔と前記第２位置決め孔に対向する位置に形成された位置決め突起とを前記第２取付部の第２貫通孔と第２位置決め孔にそれぞれ結合させることで位置決めされて取り付けられるようになっていることを特徴とする。
【０００７】
このような特徴を有する請求項１に係るパチンコ機においては、前面中央部に設けられた横長の大入賞口が一定条件下で開放されて遊技者に有利な状態となる特別入賞装置が遊技領域に設けられている。そして、この特別入賞装置は、略板状で中央部に大入賞口を覆う開閉扉が嵌め込まれる横長の開口部が開設されて遊技盤の表面に取り付けられる取付基板と、前記取付基板の裏側に取り付けられて大入賞口が前面中央部に形成された装置本体とから構成されている。また、取付基板の該開口部の左右両外側の裏側には、第１結合部及び第２結合部のうちの一方が所定高さ突設されている。また、この装置本体の取付基板が取り付けられる前面側には、大入賞口の左右両外側に断面略四角形で第１結合部及び第２結合部の高さに等しい所定深さの凹部が設けられている。そして、装置本体の各凹部の奥側端面には、第１結合部が設けられた取付基板に取り付けられる際に選択される第１貫通孔と所定深さの第１位置決め孔とが該各凹部の奥側端面の左右水平方向内側に上下に配置された第１取付部と、第２結合部が設けられた取付基板に取り付けられる際に選択される第２貫通孔と所定深さの第２位置決め孔とが該各凹部の奥側端面の左右水平方向外側に上下に配置された第２取付部とが設けられている。そして、装置本体は、第１結合部が設けられた取付基板に対しては、該第１結合部の裏側端面部の第１貫通孔に対向する位置に形成されたビス孔と第１位置決め孔に対向する位置に形成された位置決め突起とを第１取付部の第１貫通孔と第１位置決め孔にそれぞれ結合させることで、この取付基板の裏側に位置決めされて取り付けられる。また、装置本体は、第２結合部が設けられた取付基板に対しては、該第２結合部の裏側端面部の第２貫通孔に対向する位置に形成されたビス孔と第２位置決め孔に対向する位置に形成された位置決め突起とを第２取付部の第２貫通孔と第２位置決め孔にそれぞれ結合させることで、この取付基板の裏側に位置決めされて取り付けられる。
これにより、特別入賞装置の装置本体の前面側には、大入賞口の左右両外側に断面略四角形で所定深さの凹部を設け、更に、各凹部の奥側端面の左右水平方向内側に第１貫通孔及び第１位置決め孔を上下に配置すると共に、左右水平方向外側に第２貫通孔及び第２位置決め孔を上下に配置し、取付基板の開口部の左右両外側の裏側には、この第１貫通孔と第１位置決め孔にそれぞれ結合されるビス孔と位置決め突起が裏側端面部に形成された第１結合部、又は、第２貫通孔と第２位置決め孔にそれぞれ結合されるビス孔と位置決め突起が裏側端面部に形成された第２結合部のうちのいずれか一方を突設すればよいため、特別入賞装置を構成する取付基板のデザイン変更において該取付基板の裏面に突設される第１結合部又は第２結合部の設計変更を容易に行えると共に、特別入賞装置を構成する装置本体の共通化を図ることができ、パチンコ機の製造コストの削減化を図ることができる。

【００４９】
次に、この第３取付基板９５を装置本体５１に取り付けるために該第３取付基板９５と装置本体５１との間に装着される取付部材について図１０に基づいて説明する。図１０は第２実施形態に係るパチンコ機の第３特別入賞装置を構成する第３取付基板９５と装置本体５１との間に装着される取付部材の構成を示す図で、（Ａ）は上面図、（Ｂ）は正面図である。
図１０に示すように、取付部材９９は、各取付ボス９６、９７の外径よりも少し大きい内径の略円筒状のボス挿入部１００と、このボス挿入部１００の一方の端面部から軸方向直角に所定長さ延出される長四角形の板状の延出部１０１と、この延出部１０１の端縁部にボス挿入部１００と略平行に垂設されて、軸心上にビス孔が貫通されると共に、各取付ボス９６、９７の外径とほぼ等しい外径の略円筒状の取付ボス１０２とから構成されている。また、このボス挿入部１００と取付ボス１０２との軸間距離は、各取付ボス９６、９７と上記第１取付基板４５の各取付ボス６８、６９との軸間距離にほぼ等しく形成されている。また、ボス挿入部１００の他方の端面部は閉塞され、中心部にビス孔が穿設されている。
尚、ボス挿入部１００は、第３取付基板９５の各取付ボス９６、９７が取り付けられる基板取付部を構成する（図１１参照）。
【００５０】
次に、第３特別入賞装置の組み立てについて図１１に基づいて説明する。図１１は第２実施形態に係るパチンコ機１の第３特別入賞装置の装置本体５１への第３取付基板９５の取り付けを模式的に示す図である。
図１１に示すように、第３特別入賞装置１０５の組み立ては、先ず、第３取付基板９５の取付ボス９６に取付部材９９のボス挿入部１００を嵌挿し、該ボス挿入部１００の他方の端面からビスを挿入して、取付ボス１０２が左右水平方向内側（図１１中、水平方向右側）に位置するようにビス止めする。続いて、同様に取付ボス９７に取付部材９９のボス挿入部１００を嵌挿し、該ボス挿入部１００の他方の端面からビスを挿入して、取付ボス１０２が左右水平方向内側（図１１中、水平方向左側）に位置するようにビス止めする。

【００５２】
以上詳細に説明した通り第２実施形態に係るパチンコ機では、先ず、第３取付基板９５の各取付ボス９６、９７に取付部材９９、９９を装着する。そして、各取付ボス６６、６７、１０２、１０２を装置本体５１の前面側から各貫通孔５６Ａ（内側）、５７Ａ（内側）、５８Ａ、５９Ａにビス止め等により取り付けることによって第３特別入賞装置１０５を構成することができる。即ち、第３取付基板９５は、各取付ボス６６、６７及び各取付部材９９、９９を介して装置本体５１の前面部に取り付けられる。
【００５３】
したがって、この各取付部材９９、９９を設計変更することによって、同一装置本体５１に異なる取付基板を取り付けることが可能となるため、取付基板の裏面の取り付け部分の設計変更が容易に行え、装置本体５１の共通化を図ると共に、取付基板の設計変更を更に容易に行うことができ、更なるパチンコ機の製造コストの削減化を図ることができる。
また、装置本体５１の前面側には、各凹部５６、５７の奥側端面に形成される複数の貫通孔５６Ａ、５６Ａ、５７Ａ、５７Ａ、５８Ａ、５９Ａが設けられ、この複数の貫通孔５６Ａ、５６Ａ、５７Ａ、５７Ａ、５８Ａ、５９Ａの内のいずれかに結合される取付ボスを第３取付基板９５及び各取付部材９９、９９の裏側に設けることによって第３特別入賞装置１０５を構成できるため、第３取付基板９５の設計変更を容易に行うことができ、更なるパチンコ機の製造コストの削減化を図ることができる。
更に、装置本体５１の前面側投影面の大きさを、第３取付基板９５の裏面側投影面よりも小さく構成することにより、装置本体５１に第３取付基板９５を取り付けて第３特別入賞装置１０５を組立後、遊技盤２の前面側から該第３特別入賞装置１０５を取り付けることができ、第３特別入賞装置１０５の遊技盤２への取り付け作業の容易化、及び効率化を図ることができる。
【００５４】
