Therefore, the impact force of the launch ball is not directly received by the side wall, but the impact force can be distributed and received by the wall surface above or below the recess, whereby the impact transmitted to the side wall can be reduced. In addition, the wall surfaces on both sides are not simply separated from each other, but are recessed so as to form a gap between the guide member, so that the strength increased due to the formation of the recess in the transparent member can be released without impairing the strength. The impact force of the sphere can be received by the entire recess, and the durability of the transparent member is improved.

  Hereinafter, the best mode for carrying out the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings, taking a pachinko gaming machine as a typical gaming machine as an example. 1 is a perspective view of a pachinko gaming machine, FIG. 2 is a front view of a transparent member holding frame, FIG. 3 is a cross-sectional view taken along lines AA and BB in FIG. 2, and FIG. 4 is an exploded perspective view of a transparent member unit. It is.

A pachinko gaming machine 1 has a front frame (inner frame) 3 pivotally attached to an outer frame (machine frame or main body frame) 2 so that the front frame 3 can be opened and closed. A game board 5 having a shape can be stored, and a partition member (side case) 7 is disposed on the surface of the game board 5 to form a substantially circular game area 8, and a display device, It is configured to allow a game to be played depending on whether a game ball that flows down by placing an accessory (not shown) such as a prize opening wins a prize opening or the like. Further, on the front side of the front frame 3, a transparent member holding frame 9 having one side (right side in FIG. 1) attached thereto is provided so as to be openable and closable (rotatable), and the transparent member holding frame 9 can be seen through. The transparent member unit 10 is accommodated, and on one side of the transparent member unit 10, a vertically long launch region (launch guide path) 11 for guiding the game ball into the game region 8 is formed, and the transparent member holding frame 9 is provided. When closed, the game board 5 is covered with the transparent member holding frame 9, and the transparent member 12 of the transparent member unit 10 and the firing guide path (launch area 11) are located in front of the game area 8 (specifically, closer to the side of the game area 8). All the game areas 8 including the game area 8 that is arranged (overlaid) in front of and stacked behind the launch area 11 through the transparent member 12 can be seen from the front. Note that the rear opening of the launch region 11 is closed by the front half 7 ′ of the partition member 7 when the transparent member holding frame 9 is closed.

  Further, below the transparent member holding frame 9, a horizontally long storage tray unit 14 having one side (on the right side in FIG. 1) is pivotably mounted. A firing operation unit (launching operation handle) 18 for operating a launching device 17 described later is provided on the right side in FIG.

As shown in FIG. 2, the transparent member holding frame 9 is a synthetic resin frame having a large opening, and the transparent member unit 10 is fitted into the large opening from the back side. As shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, the transparent member unit 10 includes a transparent member 12 in which a transparent synthetic resin plate is formed in a substantially horseshoe shape and a vertically long groove-shaped launch region 11 is integrally formed on one side, and a launch region. 11, a longitudinal band-shaped guide member 13 attached in a vertical direction to one side portion (specifically , one side portion located on the opposite side to the central portion in the left-right direction of the game region 8 across the launch region 11) , And a back support member 15 provided on the back side of the guide member 13. The launch area 11 is a U-shaped groove recessed from the back side to the front side of the transparent member 12, and the depth of the groove (the dimension of the space from the back side of the transparent member 12 to the bottom of the groove) The width is set to be slightly larger than the diameter, and the width of the left and right is widest at the lower end, the width gradually decreases as it rises, and the upper part becomes narrower and gradually curved in an arc shape ( At the tip of the launch area 11, a surface corresponding to the bottom surface of the groove is formed as a front / rear inclined surface 16, and as it rises, it is inclined in a direction approaching the game area 8 side (in other words, the surface side of the game board 5). This portion functions as the inclined channel 20, and the end thereof is connected to the game area 8. In the present embodiment, in order to gradually reduce the width of the launch region 11, the inner surface of the groove located on the outer side (the inner surface of the side wall) is formed in an upright state, and the inner surface of the groove opposite to the inner surface of the groove. That is, the width of the groove inner surface closer to the center of the game area 8 is made closer to the opposite groove inner surface as it rises so that the width is gradually narrowed. In addition, a band-shaped guide member 13 that guides the launch ball toward the game area 8 along the upper half of the launch area 11 and one side portion (outer groove inner surface) of the inclined channel 20 is provided. It is.

Since the guide member 13 is made of a metal band plate material such as a stainless steel band, the guide member 13 has elasticity, and at its upper and lower ends, hooking and fastening portions 13a and 13b that are bent in a U-shape are formed outside the arc. As shown in FIGS. 6 and 7, the hook-and-hold portion 13a at the upper end is formed in a U-shaped fitting groove portion 21 formed at the tip of the inclined channel 20, and the hook-and-hold portion 13b at the lower end is formed in a lever shape. The elastic member 22 is fitted into the fitting groove 23 of the elastic adjustment member 22 so as to cover the cover 22 ', and the elastic adjustment member 22 is fixed in the notch 24 formed in the middle of the inner surface of the outer groove. It is attached to one side of the launch area 11 in a pivotally mounted state. Therefore, adjusting the rotation angle of the elasticity adjusting member 22 (specifically , adjusting the rotation angle of the elasticity adjusting member 22 to move the lower end of the guiding member 13 up and down) adjusts the tension of the guiding member 13. It is possible to adjust the pressure applied to the back support member 15 disposed behind, so that the guide member 13 is mounted on one side of the launch region 11 with the elasticity adjusted. The above-described elasticity adjusting member 22 is fixed by inserting a pin (not shown) inserted into the hole 25 on the free end side into any of the plurality of fixing adjusting holes 26 opened on the cutout portion 24 side. Although the structure which can adjust the tension | tensile_strength of the induction | guidance | derivation member 13 step by step is taken, what kind of structure may be sufficient if the elasticity of the induction | guidance | derivation member 13 can be adjusted.

In addition, the guide member 13 mounted in an arc shape in this way is vigorously raised in the launch area 11 so that the shot ball hits the inner surface of the arc, and thereafter, as the shot ball rises along the inner surface of the arc, the game As shown in FIG. 3 (b), the leading edge side (the guiding member side) of the guiding member 13 as compared with the mounting base edge side (the trailing edge side located on the surface side of the game board 5 ) is guided to the region 8 side. 13 is the center side of the game area 8 (specifically, the center side in the left-right direction) , that is, the launch area 11 and the inclined channel 20 described above. It is attached in an inclined state (guide inclination angle θ) located on the other side. Further, the range in which the guide member 13 is provided is a portion above approximately half of the substantially vertical portion of the groove inner surface outside the launch region 11, and as shown in FIG. shot ball that is fired by operation hits the guide member 13 rises through the firing region 11 in the vertical direction (more specifically, per start) the contact position P _1, the induction inclination angle θ of the induction of the game area 8 side than the virtual contact point P ₀ of the front and rear inclined surfaces 16 of the inclined channel 20 when you did not lower, i.e. is set to the firing position. Therefore, the fired ball in the present invention hits the guide member 13 at the contact position P ₁ before hitting the front and rear inclined surface 16 at P ₀ of the inclined flow path 20, thereby causing the fired ball to set the guide tilt angle θ. It is bounced back by the elasticity of the guide member 13 and rises while being smoothly guided to the game area 8 side. Since this smooth guidance is performed, the position at which the shot ball launched by the launch device 17 enters the game area 8 is stabilized, and the occurrence of the so-called uneven jump phenomenon can be suppressed. Furthermore, since the guiding member 13 has elasticity and its elastic force can be adjusted, it is possible to set the rebound without excessive or insufficient by suppressing excessive rebound when the projecting ball comes into contact. As a result, the occurrence of uneven jumping can be more reliably suppressed.

Further, as shown in FIG. 2 to FIG. 5, of the inner surface of the groove (the inner surface of the side wall) provided along the guide member 13, the outer portion of the contact position P ₁ of the guide member 13 with which the projecting ball contacts. Te range over upwardly from below, in other words, (in other words, a direction away from the guide member 13) part of the contact position P ₁ and the opposite side walls of the guide member 13 outwardly by recessing the induction A gap 27 is formed between the member 13 and the member 13. Thus, by forming the air gap 27 on the outside of the guide member 13, since the contact position P ₁ and the facing portion of the guide member 13 in the side wall of the recess is empty portion, the impact force of the firing balls on the side wall directly The impact force can be distributed and received on the wall surface above or below the recess. Therefore, the impact transmitted to the side wall can be reduced. Further, the wall surfaces on both sides are not simply separated from each other but are recessed so as to form a gap 27 between the guide member 13, and thus the strength increased by forming the recess in the transparent member 12 is impaired. Therefore, the impact force of the launch ball can be received by the entire recess, and the durability of the transparent member 12 is improved. In addition, if the arcuate gap 27 is formed outside the guide member 13, the guide member 13 is easily bent and can receive the fired ball softly.
