It is plate-shaped. The cover front wall 55 is provided with an upper wall 63 that closes a recess on the back side of the cover 33 from the upper part of the cover front wall 55. The upper wall 63 is provided with a relief portion 64 that is recessed from the back surface of the upper wall 63 to the front side. When the cover 33 is attached to the convex portion 35, the relief portion 64 is a recess that escapes a portion of the front frame side lower plate hinge 34 that protrudes to the front side from the convex portion 35. As shown in FIG. 3b, the front surface 62 of the cover front wall 55 of the cover 33 is formed as an inclined surface projecting to the front side from the left and right toward the center.

  Returning to FIG. 2, as described above, the dish device side upper dish hinge 43 and the front frame side upper dish hinge 39 are fitted together, and the dish device side lower dish hinge 46 and the front frame side lower dish hinge 34 are fitted together. The dish device 7 is attached to the front frame 3, while the engagement piece 56 of the cover 33 is attached to the insertion hole 38 of the convex portion 35 from the front side of the front frame 3. In this state, when the dish device 7 is closed, the pachinko machine is configured as shown in FIG.

  In FIG. 5, when the front frame 3, the panel frame 5, and the dish device 7 are closed, the left side surface 65 of the dish device 7 and the left side surface 66 of the convex portion 35 form one continuous surface. Since the cover 33 is attached to the front frame 3, the cover 33 closes the notch 32 of the dish device 7, and the front surface 62 of the cover front wall 55 is one continuous with the slope 67 and the front surface 68 of the dish device 7.

That is, the cover 33 constitutes a flange for the hinge pin 37.

  According to the best mode, the position of the board shelf 10 shown in FIG. 2 is illustrated in a pachinko machine having a structure in which a gaming board 21 that is larger in length and breadth than the gaming board 71 shown in FIG. 8 is attached to the storage chamber 9 of the gaming machine frame 1. 2 is provided below the shelf 10 shown in FIG. 8, the vertical and horizontal dimensions of the storage chamber 9 shown in FIG. 2 are made larger than the vertical and horizontal dimensions of the storage chamber 9 shown in FIG. 8, and the dish device 7 shown in FIG. The same is used, and the position of the dish device 7 is shifted downward, while the vertical dimension (synonymous with thickness or vertical dimension) H1 of the lower edge 31 shown in FIG. 2 of the front frame 3 is the lower edge shown in FIG. The lower edge portion is smaller than the vertical dimension (synonymous with thickness or vertical dimension) H2 of the portion 78 so that the dish device 7 entirely covers the lower edge portion 31 when the dish device 7 is closed. 31 is disposed on the front side. For this reason, the position of the front frame side lower countersink hinge 34 must also be provided below. However, if the front frame side lower countersink hinge 34 is provided to be shifted downward, the front frame side lower countersink hinge 34 becomes the frame hinge 4. And since it interferes with the hinge pin 37, the front frame side lower plate hinge 34 cannot be shifted downward.

  For this reason, the position of the front frame side lower plate hinge 34 is configured in the same positional relationship as the gaming machine frame 1 shown in FIG. Therefore, the notch 32 is formed in the dish device 7 so that the notch 32 escapes the convex portion 35. For this reason, when the dish apparatus 7 is closed, the hinge pin 37 is exposed to the notch 32 and protrudes forward from the notch 32. If the hinge pin 37 remains protruding forward from the notch 32 in this way, for example, a player can remove a ball box that receives a ball discharged from the plate device 7 in order to take out the ball from the plate device 7. When trying to put it under the device 7, the player's hand may come into contact with the hinge pin 37.

  In order to prevent this, a pair of left and right insertion holes 38 is provided in the convex portion 35, and the cover 33 is provided in front of the convex portion 35 by using the insertion holes 38, so that the cover 33 closes the notch portion 32, The front surface 62 of the wall 55 constitutes one surface continuous with the inclined surface 67 and the front surface 68 of the closed dish device 7, and the cover 33 constitutes a flange for the hinge pin 37. Thereby, even if the player's hand approaches the hinge pin 37 from the front side of the gaming machine frame 1, the cover 33 can appropriately prevent contact of the person's hand with the hinge pin 37.

  The front surface 62 of the cover front wall 55 is preferably designed to have a strong design connection with the front surface 68 of the dish device 7 because of the attractive appearance appealing to the player of the pachinko machine. Therefore, when the old dish apparatus 7 is removed from the gaming machine frame 1 and the dish apparatus 7 having the front surface 68 of the dish apparatus 7 configured in a new design form is attached to the gaming machine frame 1, the old cover 33 is removed from the gaming machine frame 1. It is necessary to attach to the gaming machine frame 1 the cover 33 configured to be removed and the front face 62 of the cover front wall 55 to be a new design form having a strong design connection with the new design form of the front face 68 of the tray device 7. For this reason, when removing the old cover 33 from the gaming machine frame 1, the insertion hole 38 provided in the convex portion 35 penetrates through the front surface 58 of the convex portion 35 and the rear surface of the front frame 3. There is an advantage that the cover 33 can be removed from the back side of the frame 3 so as to be pushed out to the front side of the front frame 3 with a tool such as a screwdriver.

  When the dish device 7 is closed and engaged with the front frame 3, the front surface 62 of the cover front wall 55 constitutes one continuous surface to each of the inclined surface 67 and the front surface 68 of the dish device 7. When the front frame 3 is opened with respect to the outer frame 2 attached to the game installation structure (not shown), the cover 33 is attached to the installation structure. There is no interference with the game machine frame. The reason for this is that, in a game store such as a pachinko store, a plurality of gaming machine frames 1 are installed next to the game installation structure, and in that state, for maintenance of the individual gaming machine frames 1 This is because when the dish apparatus 7 is opened forward, the dish apparatus 7 to be opened is shaped so as not to interfere with the closed dish apparatus 7 and the firing operation mechanism 28 in the adjacent gaming machine frame 1.

  6 and 7 show another embodiment. FIG. 6 shows an appearance in which the cover 33 connected to the hinge cover 81 is attached to the gaming machine frame 1 and the tray device 7 is closed. FIG. 7 shows the appearance of the cover 33 connected to the hinge cover 81 from the back side. In FIG. 7, the hinge cover 81 is made of synthetic resin and is integrated with the cover 33. When the cover 33 is attached to the convex portion 35 shown in FIG. 6, the hinge cover 81 is combined with the front frame 3 in the frame hinge 4. This is a form that bulges in a plate shape from the back surface of the hinge cover portion 81 so as to cover the side portion and the front side of the moving hinge component 82 and the hinge pin 37. As described above, by providing the cover 33 with the hinge cover 81, not only the design around the frame hinge 4 is improved but also the human hand can be prevented from coming into contact with the frame hinge 4 and the hinge pin 37. There are advantages. Although illustration is omitted, the hinge cover 81 may be positioned above the hinge constituent member 82 that moves together with the front frame 3 to cover the hinge pin 37.
