The deformed slit 104 is formed, for example, in the left-right direction, and a pair of beam portions 105 formed between the three slits 103, 104, 103 constitute a sealing fitting portion 64. Further, on the back surface side (front surface side) of the girder portion 105, an inclined press-fitting guide portion 106 (FIG. 11) corresponding to the pin head 88 of the sealing pin 63 is formed.

一対の桁部１０５は、その間の嵌合スリット１０３に封止ピン６３のピン頭部８８を圧入案内部１０６に沿って圧入したときにそのピン頭部８８を通過させることができる程度に変形スリット１０４側に弾性変形可能となっている。また、嵌合スリット１０３の幅は少なくとも封止ピン６３のピン後端部８８ｂの幅よりも狭く、例えばピン軸部８７の幅と略同程度に形成されており、ピン頭部８８が封止嵌合部６４を通過するとピン後端部８８ｂが桁部１０５の表面側（後面側）に引っ掛かり、ピン頭部８８を切断等しない限りその係合を解除できないようになっている。即ち、封止後に開封された電源基板ケース３９を再度封止することはできない。 The pair of girders 105 are deformed slits that allow the pin heads 88 to pass through when the pin heads 88 of the sealing pins 63 are press-fitted along the press-fitting guides 106 into the fitting slits 103 between them. It is elastically deformable on the 104 side. Further, the width of the fitting slit 103 is at least narrower than the width of the pin rear end portion 88b of the sealing pin 63, for example, is formed to be approximately the same as the width of the pin shaft portion 87, and the pin head portion 88 is sealed. When the fitting portion 64 is passed, the pin rear end portion 88b is hooked on the front surface side (rear surface side) of the beam portion 105, and the engagement cannot be released unless the pin head portion 88 is cut. That is, the power supply substrate case 39 opened after sealing cannot be sealed again.

なお、電源基板ケース３９は、封止ピン６３が封止嵌合部６４に嵌合して封止されたときにはじめて第１ケース体５１と第２ケース体５２とが完全に閉じた状態となり、封止が不完全な状態、即ち封止ピン６３が封止嵌合部６４に完全に嵌合していない状態では、第２ケース体５２の開閉端側、即ち右辺５７側が第１ケース体５１から浮き上がった状態となるように構成されている。 The power supply substrate case 39 is in a state in which the first case body 51 and the second case body 52 are completely closed only when the sealing pin 63 is fitted and sealed with the sealing fitting portion 64. When the sealing is incomplete, that is, when the sealing pin 63 is not completely fitted to the sealing fitting portion 64, the opening / closing end side of the second case body 52, that is, the right side 57 side is the first case body. It is configured to float from 51.

固定側係合部６６は、周壁部９１の前縁側に沿って配置され且つ周壁部９１の外面側に突設されている。また、固定側係合部６６には、その先端側の縁部に沿って係合リブ６６ａ（図７等）が後ろ向きに突設されている。 The fixed-side engaging portion 66 is disposed along the front edge side of the peripheral wall portion 91 and protrudes from the outer surface side of the peripheral wall portion 91. In addition, an engaging rib 66a (FIG. 7 and the like) is provided on the fixed side engaging portion 66 so as to protrude rearward along the edge on the tip side.

ロック係合部６９は、封止嵌合部６４の近傍の１又は複数箇所、例えば下側の封止嵌合部６４の上側近傍に配置されており、図６〜図８，図１２等に示すように、周壁部９１の前縁側に沿って配置され且つ周壁部９１の外面側に突設されたレール支持部１０７と、このレール支持部１０７の先端側縁部に沿って例えば後ろ向きに延設されたロックレール部１０８とで断面略Ｌ字状に形成されている。 The lock engaging portion 69 is disposed in one or a plurality of locations in the vicinity of the sealing fitting portion 64, for example, in the vicinity of the upper side of the lower sealing fitting portion 64, and is shown in FIGS. As shown, a rail support portion 107 disposed along the front edge side of the peripheral wall portion 91 and projecting on the outer surface side of the peripheral wall portion 91, and extending rearward, for example, along the front end side edge portion of the rail support portion 107. The lock rail portion 108 is formed to have a substantially L-shaped cross section.

基板ケース装着部５３は、図４，図７，図８，図１２等に示すように、裏機構板３１の背面側に沿って略鉛直方向に配置された底壁部１１１と、この底壁部１１１の周縁部に沿って後ろ向きに略一定幅で突設された周壁部１１２とを一体に備えた略トレー型に形成されており、第１ケース体５１の外面側（前面側）を底壁部１１１の背面側に沿わせた状態で電源基板ケース３９を後側から嵌合させることが可能となっている。 As shown in FIGS. 4, 7, 8, 12, and the like, the substrate case mounting portion 53 includes a bottom wall portion 111 disposed in a substantially vertical direction along the back side of the back mechanism plate 31, and the bottom wall. The outer peripheral side (front side) of the first case body 51 is formed in a substantially tray shape integrally provided with a peripheral wall portion 112 protruding rearward along the peripheral edge of the portion 111 with a substantially constant width. The power supply board case 39 can be fitted from the rear side in a state along the back side of the wall 111.

また、基板ケース装着部５３には、電源基板ケース３９側の固定側係合部６６に対応する固定側受け部６５と、電源基板ケース３９側のロック係合部６９と共にロック手段６８を構成するロック操作部６７とが設けられている。 The board case mounting part 53 constitutes a locking means 68 together with a fixed side receiving part 65 corresponding to the fixed side engaging part 66 on the power supply board case 39 side and a lock engaging part 69 on the power supply board case 39 side. A lock operation unit 67 is provided.

固定側受け部６５は、電源基板ケース３９側の固定側係合部６６を保持するためのもので、例えば周壁部１１２の内側近傍に配置されており、固定側係合部６６が嵌合可能な例えば右向き開口状の開口孔により構成されている。なお、固定側受け部６５内には、固定側係合部６６側の係合リブ６６ａに係合可能な係合爪６５ａ（図７等）が一体に設けられている。 The fixed side receiving portion 65 is for holding the fixed side engaging portion 66 on the power supply board case 39 side, and is disposed, for example, in the vicinity of the inner side of the peripheral wall portion 112 so that the fixed side engaging portion 66 can be fitted therein. For example, it is configured by an opening hole having a right opening. In the fixed side receiving portion 65, an engaging claw 65a (FIG. 7 and the like) that can be engaged with the engaging rib 66a on the fixed side engaging portion 66 side is integrally provided.

ロック操作部６７は、電源基板ケース３９側のロック係合部６９に係合するロック状態と係合しないロック解除状態との間で移動可能に構成されており、このロック操作部６７がロック状態となったときに、電源基板ケース３９が基板ケース装着部５３に装着された状態でロックされるようになっている。 The lock operation part 67 is configured to be movable between a locked state in which the lock engaging part 69 on the power supply board case 39 side is engaged and an unlocked state in which the lock operation part 67 is not engaged. Then, the power supply substrate case 39 is locked in a state where it is mounted on the substrate case mounting portion 53.

このロック操作部６７は、例えば電源基板ケース３９側の２つの封止手段５９間に対応して配置された操作レール部１１３に沿って摺動自在に装着されている。操作レール部１１３は、図８，図１２等に示すように周壁部１１２に沿ってその一部に設けられており、底壁部１１１の後側に突出する後レール部１１３ａと、底壁部１１１の前側に突出する前レール部１１３ｂとで構成されている。 The lock operation portion 67 is slidably mounted along an operation rail portion 113 disposed corresponding to, for example, between two sealing means 59 on the power supply board case 39 side. The operation rail portion 113 is provided in a part along the peripheral wall portion 112 as shown in FIGS. 8, 12, etc., and includes a rear rail portion 113 a that protrudes to the rear side of the bottom wall portion 111, and a bottom wall portion. 111 and a front rail portion 113b protruding to the front side.

また、後レール部１１３ａの長手方向一端側には、電源基板ケース３９側のロック係合部６９に対応して切欠部１１４が形成されており、封止が完了した電源基板ケース３９を基板ケース装着部５３に装着したとき、ロック係合部６９がこの切欠部１１４に後側から嵌合して、ロック係合部６９側のロックレール部１０８が後レール部１１３ａと一列状に連結されるようになっている。 Further, a notch 114 is formed on one end side in the longitudinal direction of the rear rail portion 113a so as to correspond to the lock engaging portion 69 on the power supply board case 39 side. When mounted on the mounting portion 53, the lock engaging portion 69 is fitted into the notch 114 from the rear side, and the lock rail portion 108 on the lock engaging portion 69 side is connected to the rear rail portion 113a in a line. It is like that.

ロック操作部６７は、図７，図８，図１２等に示すように、合成樹脂等により例えば断面略Ｃ字状に形成され、操作レール部１１３の後レール部１１３ａと前レール部１１３ｂとを外側から抱き込むように装着されており、操作レール部１１３の一端側（ここでは上端側）のロック解除位置と、他端側（ここでは下端側）のロック位置との間で摺動可能となっている。 As shown in FIGS. 7, 8, 12, etc., the lock operation portion 67 is formed of, for example, a synthetic resin or the like with a substantially C-shaped cross section, and includes a rear rail portion 113 a and a front rail portion 113 b of the operation rail portion 113. It is mounted so as to be embraced from the outside, and is slidable between the unlocking position on one end side (here, the upper end side) of the operation rail portion 113 and the locking position on the other end side (here, the lower end side). It has become.

なお、ロック操作部６７は、ロック解除位置（図８に実線で示す位置）では操作レール部１１３の切欠部１１４から完全に外れ、ロック位置（図８に二点鎖線で示す位置）ではその切欠部１１４の少なくとも一部を覆うようになっている。従って、封止が完了した電源基板ケース３９を基板ケース装着部５３に装着した状態で、ロック操作部６７をロック解除位置からロック位置まで移動させると、ロック操作部６７が操作レール部１１３側の前レール部１１３ｂと電源基板ケース３９側のロックレール部１０８とを抱き込んで両者を前後に連結させた状態となり、電源基板ケース３９の基板ケース装着部５３への装着状態がロックされる。 Note that the lock operation portion 67 is completely detached from the notch 114 of the operation rail portion 113 at the unlock position (the position indicated by the solid line in FIG. 8), and is notched at the lock position (the position indicated by the two-dot chain line in FIG. 8). At least a part of the portion 114 is covered. Accordingly, when the lock operation unit 67 is moved from the unlock position to the lock position with the power supply substrate case 39 having been sealed attached to the substrate case attachment unit 53, the lock operation unit 67 is moved to the operation rail unit 113 side. The front rail portion 113b and the lock rail portion 108 on the side of the power supply board case 39 are embraced so that they are connected back and forth, and the mounting state of the power supply board case 39 to the board case mounting portion 53 is locked.

また、ロック手段６８は、ロック操作部６７をロック位置で保持するためのロック保持手段１１５を備えている。このロック保持手段１１５は、図８等に示すように、例えばロック操作部６７のロック位置側端部又はその近傍に設けられ且つロック操作部６７の側面（例えば背面）に突出状に設けられた支点部１１６と、この支点部１１６の先端側からロック位置方向に延設された係脱部１１７と、支点部１１６の先端側からロック解除位置方向に延設された係脱操作部１１８とを一体に備えており、ロック操作部６７がロック位置にきたとき、係脱部１１７の先端側に設けられた係合爪１１７ａが、基板ケース装着部５３側に設けられた例えば突起状の被係合部１１９に係合してロック操作部６７のロック解除方向への移動を規制し、例えば係脱操作部１１８を押圧したとき、その係脱操作部１１８と共に係脱部１１７が弾性変形し、係合爪１１７ａの被係合部１１９への係合が解除されるようになっている。 The lock unit 68 includes a lock holding unit 115 for holding the lock operation unit 67 at the lock position. As shown in FIG. 8 and the like, this lock holding means 115 is provided, for example, at the lock position side end of the lock operation portion 67 or in the vicinity thereof, and is provided in a protruding manner on the side surface (for example, the back surface) of the lock operation portion 67 A fulcrum part 116, an engagement / disengagement part 117 extending in the lock position direction from the distal end side of the fulcrum part 116, and an engagement / disengagement operation part 118 extending in the unlocking position direction from the distal end side of the fulcrum part 116. The engaging claw 117a provided on the distal end side of the engagement / disengagement portion 117 is provided with, for example, a protrusion-like engaged portion provided on the board case mounting portion 53 side when the lock operation portion 67 comes to the lock position. For example, when the engagement / disengagement operation portion 118 is pressed, the engagement / disengagement portion 117 is elastically deformed together with the engagement / disengagement operation portion 118 when the engagement portion 119 is engaged to restrict the movement of the lock operation portion 67 in the unlocking direction. Of the engaging claw 117a The engagement of the engagement portion 119 is adapted to be released.

以上のような電源基板ケース３９に電源基板３８を封入する際には、図１３に示すように、例えば電源基板３８のコネクタ７１、電源スイッチ７２、ヒューズ７３等を夫々コネクタ嵌合孔９３、電源スイッチ嵌合孔９４、ヒューズ嵌合孔９５に内側から嵌合させ、且つ電源基板３８側の位置決め孔等に第２ケース体５２側の位置決め突起を嵌合させつつ電源基板３８を第２ケース体５２の内側にセットする（図１３（ａ））。 When enclosing the power supply board 38 in the power supply board case 39 as described above, as shown in FIG. 13, for example, the connector 71, the power switch 72, the fuse 73, etc. of the power supply board 38 are connected to the connector fitting hole 93, the power supply, respectively. The power supply board 38 is fitted into the switch fitting hole 94 and the fuse fitting hole 95 from the inside, and the positioning protrusion on the second case body 52 side is fitted into the positioning hole on the power board 38 side, etc. 52 is set inside (FIG. 13A).

そして、第１ケース体５１側の支持軸部６１の係合孔８５に第２ケース体５２側の被支持部６２の嵌合延設部９７を嵌合させ、両ケース体５１，５２の開閉端側、即ち右辺５７側を互いに近づけるように、第２ケース体５２に対して第１ケース体５１を軸部８４廻りに相対回転させる（図１３（ｂ））。 Then, the fitting extension portion 97 of the supported portion 62 on the second case body 52 side is fitted into the engaging hole 85 of the support shaft portion 61 on the first case body 51 side, so that both the case bodies 51 and 52 are opened and closed. The first case body 51 is relatively rotated around the shaft portion 84 with respect to the second case body 52 so that the end side, that is, the right side 57 side is brought closer to each other (FIG. 13B).

これにより、第１ケース体５１側の支持軸部６１と第２ケース体５２側の被支持部６２とが互いに係合すると共に、第１ケース体５１側の封止ピン６３のピン頭部８８が第２ケース体５２側の封止嵌合部６４の裏側に当接する（図１３（ｃ））。 Accordingly, the support shaft portion 61 on the first case body 51 side and the supported portion 62 on the second case body 52 side engage with each other, and the pin head 88 of the sealing pin 63 on the first case body 51 side. Contacts the back side of the sealing fitting portion 64 on the second case body 52 side (FIG. 13C).

このとき、電源基板ケース３９はまだ封止されておらず、両ケース体５１，５２の開閉端側は互いに離間した状態となる（以下、封止未完状態という）。 At this time, the power supply substrate case 39 is not yet sealed, and the open / close end sides of the case bodies 51 and 52 are separated from each other (hereinafter referred to as an incomplete sealing state).

この封止未完状態から、両ケース体５１，５２に対してその開閉端側を互いに近づける方向に力を加えていくと、封止ピン６３が封止嵌合部６４に圧入され、やがて封止ピン６３のピン頭部８８が嵌合スリット１０３を通過したとき、ピン後端部８８ｂが封止嵌合部６４に離脱不能に係合して、第１ケース体５１と第２ケース体５２との封止が完了する（図１３（ｄ））（以下、封止完了状態という）。 When a force is applied to the case bodies 51 and 52 in the direction in which the open / close end sides are brought close to each other from the incomplete sealing state, the sealing pin 63 is press-fitted into the sealing fitting portion 64 and the sealing is eventually performed. When the pin head portion 88 of the pin 63 passes through the fitting slit 103, the pin rear end portion 88b is engaged with the sealing fitting portion 64 so as not to be detached, and the first case body 51 and the second case body 52 Is completed (FIG. 13D) (hereinafter referred to as a sealed state).

この封止完了状態の電源基板ケース３９を基板ケース装着部５３に取り付ける際には、図１４に示すように、まず電源基板ケース３９側の固定側係合部６６を基板ケース装着部５３側の固定側受け部６５に係合させつつ、第１ケース体５１の外面側（前面側）を基板ケース装着部５３側の底壁部１１１の背面側に沿わせるようにして電源基板ケース３９を基板ケース装着部５３に対して後側から嵌合させる（図１４（ａ），（ｂ））。 When attaching the power supply substrate case 39 in the sealed state to the substrate case mounting portion 53, as shown in FIG. 14, first, the fixed side engaging portion 66 on the power supply substrate case 39 side is set on the substrate case mounting portion 53 side. While engaging with the fixed side receiving part 65, the power board case 39 is placed on the board so that the outer surface side (front side) of the first case body 51 is along the back side of the bottom wall part 111 on the board case mounting part 53 side. The case mounting part 53 is fitted from the rear side (FIGS. 14A and 14B).

このとき、電源基板ケース３９側のロック係合部６９が、基板ケース装着部５３側の切欠部１１４に後側から嵌合して、ロック係合部６９側のロックレール部１０８が後レール部１１３ａと一列状に連結される（図１４（ｃ））。 At this time, the lock engagement portion 69 on the power supply board case 39 side is fitted into the notch 114 on the substrate case mounting portion 53 side from the rear side, and the lock rail portion 108 on the lock engagement portion 69 side is the rear rail portion. 113a is connected in a line (FIG. 14C).

この状態から、ロック操作部６７をロック解除位置からロック位置まで移動させると、ロック操作部６７が操作レール部１１３側の前レール部１１３ｂと電源基板ケース３９側のロックレール部１０８とを抱き込んで両者を前後に連結させた状態となり、電源基板ケース３９の基板ケース装着部５３への装着状態がロックされる（図１４（ｄ））。なお、ロック操作部６７がロック位置にきたときには、ロック保持手段１１５の係合爪１１７ａが基板ケース装着部５３側の被係合部１１９に係合する。これにより、ロック操作部６７のロック解除方向への移動が規制される。 When the lock operation part 67 is moved from the unlocked position to the lock position from this state, the lock operation part 67 embraces the front rail part 113b on the operation rail part 113 side and the lock rail part 108 on the power supply board case 39 side. As a result, the power supply board case 39 is locked to the board case mounting portion 53 (FIG. 14D). When the lock operation unit 67 comes to the lock position, the engagement claw 117a of the lock holding means 115 engages with the engaged portion 119 on the board case mounting portion 53 side. Thereby, the movement of the lock operation part 67 in the unlocking direction is restricted.

一方、封止手段５９による電源基板ケース３９の封止が不完全な状態、例えば２つの封止手段５９のうちの少なくとも一方が封止未完状態であるにもかかわらず、その電源基板ケース３９を基板ケース装着部５３に取り付けようとしても、次のようにロック手段６８によるロックが不能で電源基板ケース３９の基板ケース装着部５３への装着状態をロックすることができず、取り付けを完了することができない。 On the other hand, the sealing of the power supply substrate case 39 by the sealing means 59 is incomplete, for example, even though at least one of the two sealing means 59 is in an incomplete sealing state, Even if it is intended to be attached to the board case mounting part 53, the lock means 68 cannot be locked as follows, and the mounting state of the power board case 39 to the board case mounting part 53 cannot be locked, and the mounting is completed. I can't.

即ち、封止手段５９が封止未完状態の場合には、少なくともその封止手段５９の近傍においては第２ケース体５２の開閉端側が第１ケース体５１から浮き上がった状態となるため、電源基板ケース３９を基板ケース装着部５３に装着しても、ロック係合部６９が切欠部１１４に完全に嵌合せず、ロック係合部６９側のロックレール部１０８を後レール部１１３ａに連結させることができない。 That is, when the sealing means 59 is in an incomplete sealing state, the open / close end side of the second case body 52 is lifted from the first case body 51 at least in the vicinity of the sealing means 59. Even when the case 39 is mounted on the board case mounting portion 53, the lock engagement portion 69 is not completely fitted into the notch 114, and the lock rail portion 108 on the lock engagement portion 69 side is connected to the rear rail portion 113a. I can't.

この状態でロック操作部６７をロック解除位置からロック位置方向に移動させようとしても、図１５に示すように、ロック操作部６７のロック位置側端部がロック係合部６９のロック解除位置側の端部に当接するため、ロック操作部６７をロック位置まで移動させること、即ち電源基板ケース３９の基板ケース装着部５３への装着状態をロックすることができない。 Even if it is attempted to move the lock operation portion 67 from the unlock position to the lock position in this state, the lock position side end of the lock operation portion 67 is located on the lock release position side of the lock engagement portion 69 as shown in FIG. Therefore, the lock operating portion 67 cannot be moved to the lock position, that is, the mounting state of the power supply substrate case 39 to the substrate case mounting portion 53 cannot be locked.

なお、図１５（ａ）は下側の封止手段５９のみが封止未完状態の場合、図１５（ｂ）は上側の封止手段５９のみが封止未完状態の場合を示しているが、全ての封止手段５９が封止未完状態の場合も同様であることは言うまでもない。 15A shows a case where only the lower sealing means 59 is in an incomplete sealing state, and FIG. 15B shows a case where only the upper sealing means 59 is in an incomplete sealing state. It goes without saying that the same applies to the case where all the sealing means 59 are in an unsealed state.

以上説明したように、本発明の第１の実施形態では、封止手段５９は、第１ケース体５１側に一体に設けられた封止ピン６３と、第２ケース体５２側に一体に設けられ且つ封止ピン６３を圧入することにより封止ピン６３が離脱不能に嵌合する封止嵌合部６４とを備え、封止ピン６３が封止嵌合部６４に嵌合して電源基板ケース３９が封止されたときにはじめて電源基板ケース３９が完全に閉じた状態となるように構成されているため、基板ケース３９を完全に閉じると同時に封止ピン６３による封止が完了することとなり、基板ケース３９の封止が不完全な状態で遊技機が工場から出荷されてしまう危険性を排除することができる。 As described above, in the first embodiment of the present invention, the sealing means 59 is provided integrally with the sealing pin 63 provided integrally on the first case body 51 side and on the second case body 52 side. And a sealing fitting portion 64 in which the sealing pin 63 is detachably fitted by press-fitting the sealing pin 63, and the sealing pin 63 is fitted into the sealing fitting portion 64 to be a power supply board. Since the power supply substrate case 39 is configured to be completely closed only when the case 39 is sealed, the sealing by the sealing pin 63 is completed at the same time as the substrate case 39 is completely closed. Thus, it is possible to eliminate the risk that the gaming machine is shipped from the factory when the sealing of the substrate case 39 is incomplete.

また、電源基板ケース３９の基板ケース装着部５３への装着状態を解除可能にロックするロック手段６８を備え、このロック手段６８は、電源基板ケース３９が完全に閉じていない状態ではロック不能となるように構成されているため、電源基板ケース３９が封止されて完全に閉じられた状態でなければ、電源基板ケース３９を基板ケース装着部５３に装着した状態でロックすることができず、電源基板ケース３９の封止が不完全な状態で遊技機が工場から出荷されてしまう危険性を完全に排除することができる。 The power supply board case 39 is provided with a lock means 68 for releasably locking the mounting state of the power supply board case 39 to the board case mounting portion 53. The lock means 68 cannot be locked when the power supply board case 39 is not completely closed. Therefore, unless the power supply board case 39 is sealed and completely closed, the power supply board case 39 cannot be locked in a state where it is attached to the board case attachment portion 53, and It is possible to completely eliminate the danger that the gaming machine is shipped from the factory in a state where the sealing of the substrate case 39 is incomplete.

また、ロック手段６８は、電源基板ケース３９側に固定的に設けられたロック係合部６９と、基板ケース装着部５３側に設けられ且つロック係合部６９に係合するロック位置とロック係合部６９に係合しないロック解除位置との間で移動可能なロック操作部６７とを備え、電源基板ケース３９が完全に閉じていない状態ではロック操作部６７がロック解除位置からロック位置に移行不可能となるように構成しているため、簡単な構成であるにも拘わらず、電源基板ケース３９が完全に閉じていない状態では確実にロック不能とすることができる。 The lock means 68 includes a lock engagement portion 69 fixedly provided on the power supply board case 39 side, a lock position provided on the substrate case mounting portion 53 side and engaged with the lock engagement portion 69, and a lock engagement portion 69. A lock operation portion 67 movable between the lock release position not engaged with the joint portion 69, and when the power supply board case 39 is not completely closed, the lock operation portion 67 shifts from the lock release position to the lock position. Since it is configured so as to be impossible, the lock can be reliably disabled when the power supply board case 39 is not completely closed despite the simple configuration.

更に、ロック操作部６７のロック位置とロック解除位置との間の移動方向が、封止ピン６３の封止嵌合部６４に対する嵌合方向に略直交するように構成し、ロック係合部６９を、電源基板ケース３９側の封止手段５９の近傍に設け、また電源基板ケース３９は、第１ケース体５１側を基板ケース装着部５３側に沿わせつつ基板ケース装着部５３に装着されるように構成され、ロック係合部６９を第２ケース体５２上に配置しているため、封止ピン６３が封止嵌合部６４に嵌合していない状態ではロック操作部６７がロック係合部６９と干渉してロック位置まで移動させることが物理的に不可能となるようにすることができ、より簡単且つ確実に、電源基板ケース３９が完全に閉じていない状態ではロック不能とすることができる。 Further, the lock operation portion 67 is configured such that the movement direction between the lock position and the lock release position is substantially perpendicular to the fitting direction of the sealing pin 63 with respect to the sealing fitting portion 64, and the lock engaging portion 69. Is provided in the vicinity of the sealing means 59 on the power supply substrate case 39 side, and the power supply substrate case 39 is attached to the substrate case attachment portion 53 with the first case body 51 side along the substrate case attachment portion 53 side. Since the lock engaging portion 69 is arranged on the second case body 52, the lock operation portion 67 is locked when the sealing pin 63 is not fitted to the sealing fitting portion 64. It can be physically impossible to move to the lock position by interfering with the joint portion 69, and it is easier and more reliable to lock the power supply board case 39 when it is not completely closed. be able to.

図１６〜図１８は本出願の第２の実施形態を例示し、基板ケース３９が閉じた状態で第１ケース体５１と第２ケース体５２とを互いに係脱自在に係合させるケース係合手段１２１を備え、封止手段５９による封止が不完全な状態でも、その状態のままで基板ケース３９を撓ませることによりケース係合手段１２１による係合が可能となるように構成した例を示している。 16 to 18 exemplify a second embodiment of the present application. Case engagement in which the first case body 51 and the second case body 52 are detachably engaged with each other with the substrate case 39 closed. An example in which the means 121 is provided so that the case engagement means 121 can be engaged by bending the substrate case 39 in that state even when the sealing by the sealing means 59 is incomplete. Show.

本実施形態の電源基板ケース３９には、一対の封止手段５９，５９の略中間位置にケース係合手段１２１が設けられている。 The power supply board case 39 of the present embodiment is provided with a case engaging means 121 at a substantially intermediate position between the pair of sealing means 59 and 59.

このケース係合手段１２１は、第１ケース体５１と第２ケース体５２との何れか一方、例えば第１ケース体５１側に設けられた被係合部１２２と、他方の例えば第２ケース体５２側に設けられ且つ第１ケース体５１と第２ケース体５２とが閉じた状態で被係合部１２２に係脱自在に係合可能な係合部１２３とを備えている。 The case engaging means 121 includes one of the first case body 51 and the second case body 52, for example, the engaged portion 122 provided on the first case body 51 side, and the other, for example, the second case body. And an engaging portion 123 that is detachably engageable with the engaged portion 122 in a state where the first case body 51 and the second case body 52 are closed.

被係合部１２２は、例えば第１ケース体５１の周設リブ８２から外向きに一体形成された突起により構成されている。また、係合部１２３は、例えば周壁部９１上に設けられており、被係合部１２２への係脱が可能な程度に面外方向に弾性変形可能となっている。 The engaged portion 122 is constituted by, for example, a protrusion integrally formed outward from the circumferential rib 82 of the first case body 51. The engaging portion 123 is provided on the peripheral wall portion 91, for example, and can be elastically deformed in the out-of-plane direction to the extent that it can be engaged with and disengaged from the engaged portion 122.

また、ケース係合手段１２１とその両側の封止手段５９は、封止手段５９が封止未完状態であっても、電源基板ケース３９の例えば第１ケース体５１側を撓ませることにより、その封止未完状態のままでケース係合手段１２１による係合（以下、仮止めという）が可能となる程度の距離をおいて配置されている。 Further, the case engaging means 121 and the sealing means 59 on both sides thereof can be obtained by bending, for example, the first case body 51 side of the power supply board case 39 even when the sealing means 59 is in an incomplete sealing state. They are arranged at a distance that allows engagement by the case engaging means 121 (hereinafter referred to as temporary fixing) while the sealing is in an incomplete state.

このような仮止めを可能とすることで、完全に封止を行う前でも、電源基板ケース３９を一体として取り扱うことができるため、例えば組み立て工程における作業効率が向上する利点がある。 By enabling such temporary fixing, since the power supply substrate case 39 can be handled as an integral unit even before complete sealing, for example, there is an advantage that work efficiency in an assembly process is improved.

その他、ロック係合部６９を封止手段５９の近傍に設けた構成など、以上説明した以外の構成については、基本的に第１の実施形態と同様にすることができる。 Other configurations other than those described above, such as a configuration in which the lock engaging portion 69 is provided in the vicinity of the sealing means 59, can be basically the same as those in the first embodiment.

また、本実施形態についても、第１の実施形態と同様、電源基板ケース３９が封止されて完全に閉じられた状態でなければ、電源基板ケース３９を基板ケース装着部５３に装着した状態でロックすることができず、電源基板ケース３９の封止が不完全な状態で遊技機が工場から出荷されてしまう危険性を完全に排除することができる。 Also in the present embodiment, as in the first embodiment, if the power supply board case 39 is not sealed and completely closed, the power supply board case 39 is mounted on the board case mounting portion 53. The risk that the gaming machine is shipped from the factory with the power supply board case 39 being imperfectly sealed cannot be completely eliminated.

即ち、例えば電源基板ケース３９が仮止めされた状態（図１８（ｂ））では、第１ケース体５１側が撓むことによりケース係合手段１２１は係合状態となっているものの、封止手段５９は封止未完状態であるため、封止完了状態の場合（図１８（ａ））と異なり、基板ケース装着部５３に装着しても、封止手段５９の近傍に設けられているロック係合部６９は切欠部１１４に完全に嵌合せず、ロック係合部６９側のロックレール部１０８を後レール部１１３ａに連結させることができない。 That is, for example, in the state in which the power supply board case 39 is temporarily fixed (FIG. 18B), the case engaging means 121 is in the engaged state by bending the first case body 51 side, but the sealing means Since 59 is in an incomplete sealing state, unlike the sealing complete state (FIG. 18A), the lock mechanism provided in the vicinity of the sealing means 59 even when mounted on the substrate case mounting portion 53. The joining portion 69 does not completely fit into the notch portion 114, and the lock rail portion 108 on the lock engaging portion 69 side cannot be connected to the rear rail portion 113a.

この状態でロック操作部６７をロック解除位置からロック位置方向に移動させようとしても、図１８（ｃ）に示すように、ロック操作部６７のロック位置側端部がロック係合部６９のロック解除位置側の端部に当接するため、ロック操作部６７をロック位置まで移動させること、即ち電源基板ケース３９の基板ケース装着部５３への装着状態をロックすることはできない。 Even if it is attempted to move the lock operation portion 67 from the unlock position to the lock position in this state, the lock position side end of the lock operation portion 67 is locked to the lock engagement portion 69 as shown in FIG. In order to contact the end portion on the release position side, the lock operation portion 67 cannot be moved to the lock position, that is, the mounting state of the power supply substrate case 39 to the substrate case mounting portion 53 cannot be locked.

以上、本発明の実施形態について詳述したが、本発明はこれらの実施形態に限定されるものではなく、本発明の趣旨を逸脱しない範囲で種々の変更が可能である。例えば、ロック手段６８は、ロック係合部６９を基板ケース装着部５３側に、ロック操作部６７を電源基板ケース３９側に配置してもよい。 As mentioned above, although embodiment of this invention was explained in full detail, this invention is not limited to these embodiment, A various change is possible in the range which does not deviate from the meaning of this invention. For example, the lock means 68 may be arranged with the lock engaging portion 69 on the substrate case mounting portion 53 side and the lock operation portion 67 on the power supply substrate case 39 side.

ロック操作部６７の配置位置及び移動方向は任意であり、例えば基板ケース装着部５３の上部又は下部に配置し、電源基板ケース３９の上縁側又は下縁側に沿って左右方向に移動可能としてもよい。 The arrangement position and the moving direction of the lock operation unit 67 are arbitrary. For example, the lock operation unit 67 may be arranged at the upper part or the lower part of the board case mounting part 53 and movable in the left-right direction along the upper edge side or lower edge side of the power board case 39. .

また、ロック操作部６７は、基板ケース３９が完全に閉じていない状態では例えばロック係合部６９と干渉してロック解除位置からロック位置に移行不可能となるように構成されていればよく、実施形態で示したスライド式の他、回転式、フック式等、どのようなものでもよい。 In addition, the lock operation unit 67 may be configured so that, for example, the substrate case 39 is not completely closed so that the lock operation unit 67 cannot move from the unlocked position to the locked position by interfering with the lock engaging unit 69, for example. In addition to the slide type shown in the embodiment, any type such as a rotary type or a hook type may be used.

封止手段５９は１個でもよいし、３個以上設けてもよい。 One sealing means 59 may be provided, or three or more sealing means 59 may be provided.

本発明に係る基板ケースは、電源基板３８を格納する電源基板ケース３９に限られるものではなく、演出制御基板２２を格納する演出基板ケース２３、主制御基板２４を格納する主基板ケース２５、払い出し制御基板４０を格納する払い出し基板ケース４１等にも同様に適用可能である。 The board case according to the present invention is not limited to the power supply board case 39 for storing the power supply board 38, but the effect board case 23 for storing the effect control board 22, the main board case 25 for storing the main control board 24, and the payout.
