遊技盤１０は、木製の合板材で略平板状に形成されており、その前面側（遊技盤の表面側）に球Ｐを打ち込んで遊技を行う遊技領域１０ａが形成されている。この遊技盤１０には、その遊技領域１０ａ面側から裏面１０ｃ側へ貫通した取付穴１０ｂが形成されている。取付穴１０ｂは、その開口形状が入賞装置１のホルダ部材４の外形に適合して形成されており、そのホルダ部材４を挿嵌可能に形成されている。
The game board 10 is formed of a wooden plywood material in a substantially flat plate shape, and a game area 10a in which a game is played by driving a ball P on the front side thereof (the front side of the game board) is formed. The game board 10 has a mounting hole 10b penetrating from the game area 10a surface side to the back surface 10c side. The mounting hole 10b is formed so that its opening shape matches the outer shape of the holder member 4 of the winning device 1, and the holder member 4 can be inserted.
また、上述した入賞装置１の台板２ａは、その裏面（遊技領域１０ａとの対向面）が取付穴１０ｂの開口より大きく形成されており、かかる入賞装置１のホルダ部材４が取付穴１０ｂに挿嵌された場合に、取付穴１０ｂを覆い隠せるように形成されている。よって、台板２ａにより取付穴１０ｂの内部が露出することが防止されるので、パチンコ機の美観を維持することができるのである。
Further, the base plate 2a of the winning device 1 described above has a back surface (a surface facing the game area 10a) larger than the opening of the mounting hole 10b, and the holder member 4 of the winning device 1 is formed in the mounting hole 10b. It is formed so that the attachment hole 10b can be covered when inserted. Therefore, since the inside of the mounting hole 10b is prevented from being exposed by the base plate 2a, the aesthetic appearance of the pachinko machine can be maintained.
入賞球集合カバー１１は、入賞装置１の入賞口２ｄへ入賞した球Ｐを遊技領域１０ａの外部へ排出するための部材であり、遊技盤１０の裏面１０ｃ側に取着される。入賞球集合カバー１１は、遊技盤１０の裏面１０ｃと略平行な一対の平板状のベース板１１ａ，１１ａを備え、各ベース板１１ａ，１１ａの対向する一端辺には、遊技盤１０の非配設側（後方）へ向けて一対の平板状の側壁板１１ｂ１，１１ｂ１が立設されている。
The winning ball collective cover 11 is a member for discharging the balls P won to the winning opening 2d of the winning device 1 to the outside of the game area 10a, and is attached to the back surface 10c side of the game board 10. The winning ball collective cover 11 includes a pair of flat base plates 11a and 11a that are substantially parallel to the back surface 10c of the game board 10, and the base boards 11a and 11a are not arranged on the opposite end sides of the base board 11a. A pair of flat side wall plates 11b1 and 11b1 are erected toward the installation side (rear).
この一対の側壁板１１ｂ１，１１ｂ１の後端は、同じく平板状の後壁板１１ｂ２に連設されている。このため、入賞球集合カバー１１には、これらの３枚の側壁板１１ｂ１，１１ｂ１、後壁板１１ｂ２により、遊技盤１０との対向面が開放された断面視略コ字状の排出樋１１ｂが形成されている。この排出樋１１ｂの内部は、球Ｐが通過可能に形成されており、この排出樋１１ｂにより球Ｐを遊技領域１０ａの外部へ排出することができるのである。
The rear ends of the pair of side wall plates 11b1 and 11b1 are connected to a flat plate-like rear wall plate 11b2. Therefore, the winning ball collecting cover 11 is provided with a discharge bowl 11b having a substantially U-shaped cross-sectional view in which a surface facing the game board 10 is opened by the three side wall plates 11b1 and 11b1 and the rear wall plate 11b2.

一方、ベース板１１ａ，１１ａには、その排出樋１１ｂの左右両側部分に略矩形状の開口である貫通穴１１ｃ，１１ｃが穿設されている。この貫通穴１１ｃ，１１ｃは、上述した入賞装置１の係合部材５，５を入賞球集合カバー１１の裏面側へ露出させ、且つ、係合突起５ｂ，５ｂを係合するための開口であり、ベース板１１ａの厚さ方向に貫通して形成され、係合突起５ｂ，５ｂを挿入可能に形成されている。よって、これらの貫通穴１１ｃ，１１ｃに係合突起５ｂ，５ｂを係合した場合には、その係合突起５ｂ，５ｂを入賞球集合カバー１１の裏面側へ露出させることができる。
On the other hand, the base plates 11a and 11a are provided with through holes 11c and 11c, which are substantially rectangular openings, on the left and right sides of the discharge rod 11b. The through holes 11c and 11c are openings for exposing the engaging members 5 and 5 of the winning device 1 described above to the back side of the winning ball collecting cover 11 and engaging the engaging protrusions 5b and 5b. The base plate 11a is formed so as to penetrate in the thickness direction, and the engagement protrusions 5b and 5b can be inserted. Therefore, when the engagement protrusions 5 b and 5 b are engaged with these through holes 11 c and 11 c, the engagement protrusions 5 b and 5 b can be exposed to the back side of the winning ball collecting cover 11.
このように、係合突起５ｂ，５ｂが入賞球集合カバー１１の裏面側に露出されることにより、遊技盤１０の裏面１０ｃ側に入賞球集合カバー１１を取着した状態のまま、係合突起５ｂ，５ｂと貫通穴１１ｃ，１１ｃとの係合状態を入賞球集合カバー１１の裏面側から解除することができる。
Thus, the engagement protrusions 5b, 5b are exposed on the back side of the winning ball collection cover 11, so that the engagement protrusions 11 remain attached to the back side 10c of the game board 10 with the winning ball collection cover 11 attached. The engaged state between 5b, 5b and the through holes 11c, 11c can be released from the back side of the winning ball collecting cover 11.
図３は、遊技盤１０に取着された入賞球集合カバー１１に係合部材５を係着した状態を示す入賞装置１の側断面図であり、図中の矢印は、球Ｐの流下経路を示している。図３に示すように、入賞装置１は、その装置本体２が遊技盤１０の遊技領域１０ａ側に露出されつつ配設される一方、そのホルダ部材４が取付穴１０ｂ内に挿嵌されている。この取付穴１０ｂの内周下面から内周上面までの高さは、ホルダ部材４の下端面から上端面までの高さと略等しくされている。よって、入賞装置１のホルダ部材４が取付穴１０ｂ内に挿嵌された場合に、ホルダ部材４が取付穴１０ｂ内で上下方向にガタつくことを防止することができる。
FIG. 3 is a side sectional view of the winning device 1 showing a state in which the engaging member 5 is engaged with the winning ball collecting cover 11 attached to the game board 10, and an arrow in the figure indicates a flow path of the ball P Is shown. As shown in FIG. 3, the prize winning device 1 is disposed while the device main body 2 is exposed to the game area 10 a side of the game board 10, while the holder member 4 is inserted into the mounting hole 10 b. . The height from the inner peripheral lower surface to the inner peripheral upper surface of the mounting hole 10 b is substantially equal to the height from the lower end surface to the upper end surface of the holder member 4. Therefore, when the holder member 4 of the winning device 1 is inserted into the mounting hole 10b, the holder member 4 can be prevented from rattling in the vertical direction within the mounting hole 10b.
また、遊技盤１０の裏面側、即ち、遊技領域１０ａ面側の反対側面には上述した入賞球集合カバー１１が取着され、入賞球集合カバー１１の排出樋１１ｂ内部と、ホルダ部材４の案内通路４ｂとが連通されている。一方、入賞装置１の装置本体２の入賞口２ｄの下方には、入賞口２ｄ及び検出穴３ａと連通し、且つ、ホルダ部材４の案内通路４ｂと連通する案内通路２ｇが設けられている。よって、入賞口２ｄへ入賞し検出穴３ａを通過した球Ｐは、案内通路２ｇを介してホルダ部材４の案内通路４ｂへ案内され、この案内通路４ｂを通過して入賞球集合カバー１１の排出樋１１ｂへ排出されるのである。
Also, the above-mentioned winning ball collecting cover 11 is attached to the back side of the gaming board 10, that is, the opposite side of the gaming area 10a side, and the inside of the discharge basket 11b of the winning ball collecting cover 11 and the guide of the holder member 4 are installed.

On the other hand, a guide passage 2 g that communicates with the prize winning port 2 d and the detection hole 3 a and communicates with the guide passage 4 b of the holder member 4 is provided below the prize winning port 2 d of the device main body 2 of the winning device 1. Therefore, the ball P that has won the winning opening 2d and passed through the detection hole 3a is guided to the guide passage 4b of the holder member 4 through the guide passage 2g, and is discharged through the guide passage 4b. It is discharged to the bag 11b.
図４は、図３のＩＶ−ＩＶ線における平断面図であり、図４では球Ｐを２点鎖線で図示している。尚、図４では、矢印Ｒ１がホルダ部材４の後側左縁（図４の右上側）から延出された一方の係合部材５の撓み方向を示している。また、図４では、矢印Ｒ２がホルダ部材４の後側右縁（図４の右下側）から延出された他方の係合部材５の撓み方向を示している。
4 is a cross-sectional plan view taken along line IV-IV in FIG. 3. In FIG. 4, the sphere P is illustrated by a two-dot chain line. In FIG. 4, the arrow R <b> 1 indicates the bending direction of one engaging member 5 that is extended from the rear left edge (upper right side in FIG. 4) of the holder member 4. Further, in FIG. 4, an arrow R <b> 2 indicates a bending direction of the other engaging member 5 that is extended from the rear right edge (lower right side in FIG. 4) of the holder member 4.
一対の係合部材５，５のアーム部５ａ，５ａは、互いの対向方向（図４の矢印Ｒ１，Ｒ２方向）へ弾性的に撓み変形可能にそれぞれ形成されている。しかも、各アーム部５ａ，５ａは、その間隔幅がホルダ部材４との連設部分から係合突起５ｂ，５ｂ側へ向かうに従って幅広となるようにされている。即ち、アーム部５ａ，５ａは、その係合突起５ｂ，５ｂ端側の間隔幅がホルダ部材４端側の間隔幅より大きくなるようにホルダ部材４にそれぞれ連設されている。
The arm portions 5a and 5a of the pair of engaging members 5 and 5 are formed to be elastically deflectable and deformable in mutually facing directions (the directions of arrows R1 and R2 in FIG. 4), respectively. In addition, the arm portions 5a and 5a are configured such that the distance between the arm portions 5a and 5a becomes wider from the connecting portion with the holder member 4 toward the engagement protrusions 5b and 5b. That is, the arm portions 5a and 5a are connected to the holder member 4 so that the interval width on the end side of the engaging projections 5b and 5b is larger than the interval width on the end side of the holder member 4.
また、各係合突起５ｂ，５ｂは、そのアーム部５ａ，５ａの先端部分の外側面（非対向面）から外方へ向けて突出されている。アーム部５ａ，５ａにおける係合突起５ｂ，５ｂの付け根部Ｂ，Ｂ間の間隔幅は、入賞装置１が遊技盤１０及び入賞球集合カバー１１から取り外された状態で、貫通穴１１ｃ，１１ｃの外側縁辺間の間隔幅より若干大きくなるようにされている。よって、係合部材５，５の係合突起５ｂ，５ｂが貫通穴１１ｃ，１１ｃに係合された場合に、アーム部５ａ，５ａの弾性復元力によって、入賞装置１が取付穴１０ｂ内でガタつくことを防止することができる。
Each engagement protrusion 5b, 5b protrudes outward from the outer surface (non-opposing surface) of the tip portion of the arm portion 5a, 5a. The distance between the base portions B and B of the engaging projections 5b and 5b in the arm portions 5a and 5a is such that the winning device 1 is removed from the game board 10 and the winning ball collecting cover 11 in the through holes 11c and 11c. It is designed to be slightly larger than the interval width between the outer edges. Therefore, when the engagement protrusions 5b and 5b of the engagement members 5 and 5 are engaged with the through holes 11c and 11c, the winning device 1 is rattled in the mounting hole 10b by the elastic restoring force of the arm portions 5a and 5a. It can prevent sticking.
更に、各係合突起５ｂの頂部Ａから台板２ａまでの長さは、遊技盤１０の板厚と入賞球集合カバー１１におけるベース板１１ａの板厚との合計厚さとほぼ一致するようにされている。よって、入賞装置１のホルダ部材４が取付穴１０ｂ内に挿嵌され、係合突起５ｂ，５ｂが貫通穴１１ｃ，１１ｃの開口縁に係合された場合に、入賞装置１が取付穴１０ｂの貫通方向にガタつくことを防止することができる。
Further, the length from the top A of each engagement protrusion 5b to the base plate 2a is made to substantially coincide with the total thickness of the board thickness of the game board 10 and the base board 11a in the winning ball collecting cover 11. ing. Therefore, when the holder member 4 of the winning device 1 is inserted into the mounting hole 10b and the engaging protrusions 5b and 5b are engaged with the opening edges of the through holes 11c and 11c, the winning device 1 is connected to the mounting hole 10b. It is possible to prevent rattling in the penetration direction.
各係合突起５ｂ，５ｂは、これらに対応して入賞球集合カバー１１に形成された貫通穴１１ｃ，１１ｃにおけるベース板１１ａ，１１ａ裏面側（図２の右面側）の開口縁に引っ掛けられ係合されている。この係合によって、入賞装置１を取付穴１０ｂから抜き取り不可能な状態で遊技盤１０に配設することができるのである。また、各係合突起５ｂの外側面には、係合部材５の先端側（図４の右側）から係合突起５ｂの頂部Ａへ向かうに従って外方へ隆起するように傾斜されたテーパ面５ｃがそれぞれ形成されており、このテーパ面５ｃを介して、一対の係合部材５，５を取付穴１０ｂ及び貫通穴１１ｃ，１１ｃへ挿入する際に案内することができるのである。
The respective engaging projections 5b and 5b are hooked on the opening edges of the base plates 11a and 11a on the back side (the right side in FIG. 2) in the through holes 11c and 11c formed in the winning ball collecting cover 11 correspondingly. Are combined. By this engagement, the winning device 1 can be disposed on the game board 10 in a state where it cannot be removed from the mounting hole 10b.
