  However, a ball collection mechanism for collecting game balls (out balls) discharged from the game area on the front side of the game board is formed on the back side of the game board mounting frame, and the balls are collected by the ball collection mechanism. The game ball is discharged from the discharge chute to the outside of the gaming machine. And when this gaming machine is installed in the island facility of the game hall, a ball receiving box that receives the game balls discharged from the discharge chute and leads to a predetermined discharge portion is arranged at a position below the discharge chute. . For this reason, if the certificate stamp or the like is directly attached to the lower part of the back of the game board mounting frame and exposed, there is a risk that the certificate stamp or the like may be accidentally damaged when the ball receiving box is installed.

  In addition, some control devices mounted on the back side of the game board mounting frame are connected to external devices via harnesses, etc. There are also cases where it is touched. When the harness or the like repeatedly contacts the certificate paper or the like, there is a possibility that characters or the like attached to the certificate paper or the like are gradually rubbed and cannot be discriminated.

  The present invention solves the above-described problems and provides a gaming machine capable of protecting certificate paper and the like.

The gaming machine according to the present invention is
A game board mounting frame that is pivotally supported so as to be openable and closable around one side with respect to the fixed frame and to which a game board is mounted
A gaming machine in which a stamp member having specific information is attached to the gaming board mounting frame,
A substantially rectangular mounting recess provided on the back side of the gaming board mounting frame and at a position below the gaming board;
A substantially rectangular attachment member that has an attachment portion to which the certificate member is attached, and is detachably attached to the attachment recess;
A cover member attached to the attachment member so as to cover the card member, and having transparency.
The mounting recess is
An inner wall that surrounds the adhering member at least at its peripheral edge excluding the lower edge,
The attachment member is
A peripheral wall that surrounds the indicia member at least at its peripheral edge excluding the lower edge;
The gist of the invention is that it includes a positioning portion for aligning at least a part of the upper side portion of the card member attached to the attaching portion at a position away from the peripheral wall portion in the attaching portion.

According to the present invention, certificate paper or the like can be protected.

  Hereinafter, each means suitable for solving the above-described problems will be described in terms of items. In addition, the effect etc. peculiar to a corresponding means are added as needed.

Means 1. A game board mounting frame that is pivotally supported so as to be openable and closable around one side with respect to the fixed frame and to which the game board is mounted,
A gaming machine in which a stamp member having specific information is attached to the gaming board mounting frame,
An attachment member to which the certificate member is attached; and an attachment member that is detachably attached to a back side of the game board attachment frame and at a position below the game board;
A gaming machine comprising: a covering member attached to the attachment member so as to cover the card member and having transparency.

  According to the above means 1, since the card member is covered with the covering member, it is possible to reduce a problem that the card member is accidentally damaged. As a result, the durability and protection of the stamp member can be enhanced. As a result, since the stamp member can be kept in a good state for a relatively long period of time, the recyclability is improved. Furthermore, even when the gaming machine is used for a long period of time, it can be easily confirmed whether or not it is a genuine product at the time of parts replacement, and the management status can be grasped from the stamp member, so that there is an effect of suppressing illegal dumping.

  In the configuration in which the certificate paper member is directly attached to the game board mounting frame, an adhesion error or the like occurs at the time of manufacture of the gaming machine, and when the certificate paper member is attached again, it is very troublesome to peel the certificate paper member without damaging it. You will be forced to work. Further, when the gaming board mounting frame to which the certificate member is attached is replaced at the time of failure or recycling of the gaming machine, the same problem may occur. Especially for gaming machines such as pachinko machines, the stamp numbers etc. are strictly managed by various gaming machine management organizations, etc., so that the stamp members that are damaged or pasted wrongly are rejected and new stamp numbers are given. There is a need to have the member issued by the management organization, and there is a possibility that the procedure and the like may require a lot of time and effort. In this respect, by making the attachment member detachable as in this means, even when an attachment error occurs, it is possible to replace the certificate member relatively easily and prevent the occurrence of the above various problems. can do. Examples of “detachable” mounting include (1) the attaching member is fixed by a fixing means such as a screw, and the attaching member can be removed by removing the fixing means, and (2) the attaching member. (1) and (2), the locking portion formed on the locking plate is locked to the game board mounting frame, and the locked state of the locking portion is released so that the attaching member can be removed. ) And the like are attached in combination. On the other hand, the covering member may be detachably attached to the adhesion member, or may be detachably attached by an adhesive or the like.

  The same applies to the following means, but the above-mentioned “certificate member” includes certificate members issued by various gaming machine management organizations. In addition, the “stamp member” includes not only a so-called “stamp paper” made of paper but also a film member or a sheet member made of resin, for example.

  In the above-mentioned “specific information”, information indicating that the management organization has been inspected, a management number given by the management organization, a company name, a model number and a manufacturing number of the gaming machine, a manufacturing year, and the like are encoded. Code information such as a QR code (registered trademark) is included. In addition, the above-mentioned “having the specific information” includes the specific information as code information that can be read by a predetermined reading means as well as the specific information written on the stamp member by letters or numbers. (Registration, storage) and the like are included.

  The “attachment” includes not only “sticking” and “adhesion” but also “locking” by a predetermined locking means and “fixing” by a fixing means.

  Mean 2. The gaming machine according to claim 1, wherein the covering member is detachable while the attachment member is attached to the game board mounting frame.

  According to the above means 2, when it becomes difficult to read the specific information attached to the card member through the covering member due to adhesion of dirt or scratches to the covering member, reflection of light, etc. The certificate member can be directly viewed by removing the card. As a result, it is possible to improve workability without inconvenience of having to read the specific information many times. In particular, when a game machine is shipped at a manufacturing factory, the specific information is read during the flow work. Therefore, if the covering member is removed in advance, the read work can be performed efficiently. In addition, when the covering member is soiled or scratched, it is possible to replace only the covering member without changing the adhering member or the card member, so that an increase in replacement cost can be suppressed. In addition, as an example of "detachable" attachment, the structure similar to the structure of (1)-(3) of the said adhesion member is mentioned. In addition, operability is improved by making it detachable by manual operation without using a tool or the like.

Means 3. A mounting recess for fitting the attachment member into the game board mounting frame is provided,
3. The gaming machine according to claim 1 or 2, wherein the entire adhering member is disposed at a position deeper than a peripheral edge of the mounting recess (a wall surface of the game board mounting frame).

  According to the means 3, the covering member is less likely to be scratched or soiled than when the adhering member protrudes from the wall surface of the game board mounting frame. Further, when the covering member is removed, the certificate paper member itself is hardly scratched or soiled. Further, since the protruding portion is eliminated, the appearance quality is improved, and the possibility of hindering the attachment of other members constituting the gaming machine is reduced.

Means 4. While projecting the peripheral wall part at least in part around the attachment part,
The gaming machine according to any one of means 1 to 3, wherein the entire covering member is disposed at a position deeper than a distal end portion of the peripheral wall portion.

  According to the means 4, the effect of the means 3 is enhanced.

Means 5. The front of the game board mounting frame is supported to be openable and closable, and includes a front door that covers substantially the entire area of the game board mounting frame in a closed state.
A locking mechanism for locking the front door to the game board mounting frame;

The gaming machine according to any one of means 1 to 4, wherein the unlocking of the locking portion of the covering member can be released from the front side of the game board mounting frame in the unlocked state of the front door.

  By making the cover member detachable, it is easy to replace the card member, but fraudulent actions to replace the card member, for example, fraud such as peeling the card member attached to a predetermined gaming machine and attaching it to another gaming machine. There is a risk that the action can be performed relatively easily. In this respect, the cover member can be removed only when the front door is opened from the front side of the game board mounting frame that is normally closed as described above, so that the card member can be easily replaced. While maintaining sex, fraud can be reduced. In addition, it is not limited to the structure of the said means 5, It replaces with the said front door, for example, "It is supported so that opening and closing is possible in the front side of the said game board mounting frame, and the front side of the said game board mounting frame in the closed state and the said A similar effect can be obtained even in a configuration including an “opening / closing member that covers a position below the game board”.

The

  Now, on the back side of the pachinko machine 10, as shown in FIG. 7, the lower part of the inner frame 12 (the bulging portion 40) is not covered by the units 201 to 203 but is exposed. And in this embodiment, in this part, specifically, in the lower right corner portion of the inner frame 12 (the bulging portion 40) when viewed from the back side of the pachinko machine 10, the stamp sticking with the stamp S3 as the stamp member is stuck. A unit 400 is attached. The stamp S3 has a game machine serial number, a company name, a manufacturing year, and a QR code obtained by encoding them as the specific information. Of course, the specific information is not limited to the above-mentioned information, but may be information indicating that a predetermined gaming machine management organization has been inspected, a management number assigned by the management organization, a model number of the gaming machine, etc. Good.

  In addition, a substantially rectangular mounting recess 390 into which the certificate sticking unit 400 is fitted is formed in the lower right corner of the inner frame 12 (the bulging portion 40) in the back wall portion 40a of the bulging portion 40 ( (See FIG. 15). However, the mounting recess 390 is formed along the boundary between the back wall portion 40a and the lower wall portion 40b of the bulging portion 40, and there is no wall surface corresponding to the lower side of the inner peripheral surface of the mounting recess 390. It is the structure opened to the lower wall part 40b side. That is, when the boundary part (corner part) between the back wall part 40a and the lower wall part 40b of the bulging part 40 is notched, and the certificate sticking unit 400 is attached to the attachment recess 390, And the lower surface of the said stamp sticking unit 400 will be in the state exposed to the lower wall part 40b side. Thereby, it becomes easy to perform the attachment or detachment work of the certificate sticking unit 400.

  Here, the stamp sticking unit 400 will be described in detail with reference to FIGS. The certificate sticking unit 400 includes a certificate plate 401 as an attachment member to which the certificate S3 is adhered, and a protective cover 402 as a covering member that covers the front side of the certificate plate 401 (certificate S3). 9 to 11 are diagrams showing the certificate plate 401, FIGS. 12 to 14 are diagrams showing the protective cover 402, and FIGS. 15 and 16 are diagrams showing the attachment structure of the certificate sticking unit 400. is there.

  The certificate paper plate 401 and the protective cover 402 are made of a synthetic resin material. Specifically, the certificate plate 401 is made of black ABS (acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene) resin. On the other hand, the protective cover 402 is made of transparent or translucent PC (polycarbonate) resin having transparency so that the certificate paper S3 can be visually recognized.

  The certificate paper plate 401 includes a substantially rectangular main body 404 having a flat plate shape. The surface of the main body 404 becomes a sticking surface 404a as an attaching portion for sticking the certificate S3. On the left side of the sticking surface 404a, a hook-shaped positioning portion 405 is provided that is formed so that two protrusions extending along the upper side portion and the left side portion of the main body portion 404 intersect at a right angle. Thereby, when sticking the stamp S3 on the sticking surface 404a, the sticking position of the stamp S3 is set to an appropriate position by sticking the upper left corner of the stamp S3 to the positioning portion 405. be able to.

  The main body 404 is formed with ribs 406 protruding toward the front surface along the peripheral edge. The rib 406 serving as the peripheral wall is for preventing objects such as a ball receiving box Y and a harness of the island equipment of the game hall from coming into contact with the protective cover 402. Thereby, it is possible to reduce the scratches and dirt on the protective cover 402. As a result, it is possible to suppress a decrease in visibility of the certificate S3 through the protective cover 402. For the same reason, when the protective cover 402 is not attached to the certificate plate 401, the certificate S3 attached to the main body 404 is not easily damaged. However, the rib 406 is formed only at a portion corresponding to the upper side portion and the left and right side portions of the main body portion 404, and is not formed at a portion corresponding to the lower side portion of the main body portion 404. This is because when the rib 406 is formed over the entire circumference of the main body 404, the sticking surface 404a for sticking the certificate paper S3 is in a position recessed from the rib 406. This is because the work must be performed in such a state that the front end of the is inserted into the recess, and there is a concern that workability may be reduced. That is, if the configuration corresponding to the lower side portion of the main body portion 404 is omitted as in the present embodiment, a finger is inserted from the lower side of the main body portion 404 and the abdomen of the finger is pressed against the sticking surface 404a. Thus, the sticking work of the certificate stamp S3 can be performed, and the workability can be improved. In addition, as described above, the mounting recess 390 of the inner frame 12 is opened to the lower wall portion 40b side, that is, the lower surface of the stamp plate 401 attached to the mounting recess 390 is exposed to the lower wall portion 40b side. Therefore, the workability of attaching the certificate S3 to the certificate plate 401 in a state where the certificate plate 401 is attached to the attachment recess 390 is also improved.

  In addition, a fixing portion 407 extending in the right direction from the right side portion is provided at a substantially central portion on the right side portion of the main body portion 404. The fixing portion 407 is formed with a screw hole 408 for inserting a screw N as a fixing means. On the surface side of the fixing portion 407, the periphery of the screw hole 408 is a tapered concave portion 409. Accordingly, when the certificate plate 401 is attached to the attachment recess 390, the head of the screw N is accommodated in the recess 409, and the head of the screw N does not protrude from the surface of the fixing portion 407. On the other hand, on the back surface side of the fixing portion 407, a recess 410 is formed in which the diameter of the periphery of the screw hole 408 is increased and becomes larger than the screw hole 408. A boss 391 formed in the mounting recess 390 is fitted into the recess 410 when the certificate plate 401 is mounted in the mounting recess 390.

  A pair of upper and lower insertion holes 411 penetrating to the back surface side of the main body portion 404 is formed in the adhering surface 404 a at the boundary between the adhering surface 404 a and the rib 406 on the right side portion of the main body portion 404. Correspondingly, a notch-shaped groove 412 is formed on the back side of the main body 404 from each insertion hole 411 to the right side of the main body 404. Thereby, it is in the state which passed from the sticking surface 404a to the right side part of the main-body part 404 so that the back surface side of the rib 406 of the right-hand side part of the main body part 404 may be dived.

  A substantially flat locking piece 414 is integrally formed on the left end of the main body 404 on the back side of the main body 404. The locking piece 414 protrudes to the back side of the main body portion 404 and protrudes to the left from the left side portion of the main body portion 404. A locking claw 415 is formed at the front end of the locking piece 414 on the surface side. In addition, a through-hole 416 penetrating from the sticking surface 404 a to the back surface side of the main body 404 is formed at the overlapping portion of the main body 404 and the locking piece 414. The through hole 416 has a vertically long shape along a boundary portion between the attaching surface 404 a and the rib 406 on the left side portion of the main body portion 404. Further, the base end portion of the locking piece 414 is chamfered and tapered. This is for facilitating insertion of the locking piece 414 into the insertion hole 392 of the mounting recess 390 described later.

  Next, the protective cover 402 will be described in detail. The protective cover 402 includes a substantially flat main body 421. The main body portion 421 has substantially the same rectangular shape as the sticking surface 404 a of the certificate paper plate 401, and when the protective cover 402 is attached to the certificate paper plate 401, the main body portion 421 is fitted inside the rib 406. Covers almost the entire surface 404a.

  In addition, ribs 422 are formed so as to protrude along the peripheral edge of the main body 421 on the back surface of the main body 421, that is, the surface facing the certificate paper S 3 adhered to the certificate paper plate 401. The ribs 422 are provided to prevent the main body 421 from coming into contact with the certificate sheet S3 when the protective cover 402 is attached to the certificate sheet plate 401. This makes it difficult for the certificate S3 to be damaged.

  In addition, a pair of upper and lower locking projections 423 are integrally formed at the right end of the main body 421 on the back side of the main body 421. The locking protrusion 423 protrudes to the back side of the main body 421 and protrudes to the right from the right side of the main body 421. When the protective cover 402 is attached to the certificate paper plate 401, the pair of locking protrusions 423 are inserted into the pair of insertion holes 411 on the certificate paper plate 401 side. Further, the base end portion of the locking projection 423 is chamfered and tapered. This is to make it easier to insert the locking projection 423 into the insertion hole 411.

  In addition, a locking piece 425 that protrudes toward the back side is provided at a substantially central portion of the left side portion of the main body 421. A locking claw 426 is formed at the tip of the locking piece 425 on the outside of the main body 421. When the protective cover 402 is attached to the certificate plate 401, the locking piece 425 is inserted into the through hole 416 on the certificate paper plate 401 side, and the locking claw 426 is locked on the back side of the locking piece 414. Is done. Accordingly, the locking piece 425 and the locking claw 426 constitute a locking portion in the present embodiment.

  In addition, a notch-shaped recess 427 is formed on the left side of the main body 421 at positions above and below the locking piece 425. This is for facilitating the bending of the locking piece 425, whereby the locking piece 425 can be easily inserted into and removed from the through hole 416.

  Next, the procedure for attaching the stamp pasting unit 400 to the attachment recess 390 of the inner frame 12 will be described by taking the attachment procedure at the time of shipment from the manufacturer as an example. In addition, in the mounting recess 390, as a means for holding the certificate sticking unit 400, an insertion hole 392 into which the locking piece 414 of the certificate plate 401 is inserted is formed in addition to the boss 391 described above. The insertion hole 392 is formed at the boundary between the left wall 393 of the mounting recess 390 and the plate mounting surface 390a (see FIG. 15A), and penetrates to the front side of the bulging portion 40 [ See FIG. 16A]. When attaching the certificate paper plate 401, first, the locking piece 414 of the certificate paper plate 401 is inserted into the insertion hole 392 of the attachment recess 390. Thereafter, the certificate plate 401 is tilted to the right, and the boss 391 of the mounting recess 390 is fitted into the recess 410 of the fixing portion 407. In this state, the fixing portion 407 is fixed to the boss 391 with the screw N. When the attachment of the certificate paper plate 401 is completed, the locking piece 414 is locked to the front wall portion of the bulging portion 40 while being exposed to the front surface side of the bulging portion 40 (see FIG. 16B). Further, in the state in which the certificate paper plate 401 is attached to the attachment recess 390, the entire certificate paper plate 401 is accommodated in a position deeper than the back wall portion 40 a of the bulging portion 40.

  Next, in a state where the certificate paper plate 401 is attached to the attachment recess 390, the certificate paper S3 is attached to the attachment surface 404a of the certificate paper plate 401. At this time, the inner frame 12 is blue, while the certificate plate 401 is black. Therefore, the operator can easily find the position of the certificate plate 401, that is, the attachment position, and the workability is improved.

  As described above, the pachinko machine 10 to which the stamp S3 is pasted and the stamps S1 and S2 are pasted is described in the stamps S1 to S3 by an imaging means such as a camera in one step in the flow operation. Are individually read and registered in the management computer together with the shipping destination. If the certificate paper S3 attached to the certificate plate 401 at this stage is covered with the protective cover 402, it may be difficult to read the description due to light reflection or the like. The attachment work of the cover 402 is performed after registration of the pachinko machine 10 (inner frame 12 or the like).

  When attaching the protective cover 402, first, the pair of locking projections 423 of the protective cover 402 is inserted into the pair of insertion holes 411 of the certificate paper plate 401. Thereafter, the locking piece 425 is elastically deformed while the protective cover 402 is tilted to the left, and is inserted into the through hole 416 of the certificate paper plate 401. Then, with the protective cover 402 completely tilted, the locking claw 426 of the locking piece 425 is locked on the back side of the locking piece 414 of the certificate paper plate 401. Accordingly, the locking piece 425 is exposed on the front side of the bulging portion 40. The locking projection 423 is locked to the groove 412 of the certificate plate 401. When the protective cover 402 is attached to the certificate plate 401 in this manner, the entire protective cover 402 is accommodated in a position deeper than the rib 406 of the certificate plate 401. That is, the entire protective cover 402 is accommodated in a position deeper than the back wall portion 40 a of the bulging portion 40. As described above, in addition to the rib 422 being formed on the back surface of the protective cover 402, by adopting an attachment structure for attaching the protective cover 402 while tilting, for example, on the certificate plate 401 (certificate S3). Compared to the configuration in which the protective cover 402 is attached by sliding, the certificate sheet S3 is less likely to be damaged.

  Then, the pachinko machine 10 in which the protective cover 402 has been attached is packaged, the shipping destination is printed on the surface of the packaging body, and the shipping destination is strictly controlled.

  With the above configuration, once the protective cover 402 is attached, it cannot be removed from the back side of the pachinko machine 10. On the other hand, from the front side of the pachinko machine 10, the locking piece 425 of the protective cover 402 can be operated from the front side of the inner frame 12 by unlocking and opening the front frame set 14. That is, the protective cover 402 can be removed. As described above, the reason why the protective cover 402 can be removed only when the front frame set 14 is unlocked, that is, only the person holding the key, is, for example, that the pachinko machine 10 has been used for a long time and is protected. When the cover 402 is scratched or dirty, and the visibility of the certificate sheet S3 is lowered, the protective cover 402 is removed when parts are replaced or recycled, and the contents of the certificate sheet S3 are directly read without using the protective cover 402. This is to prevent unauthorized actions such as peeling off the certificate S3.

  As described above in detail, in the present embodiment, since the certificate sheet S3 is covered with the protective cover 402, it is possible to reduce a problem that the certificate sheet S3 is accidentally damaged. As a result, the durability and protection of the certificate S3 can be improved. As a result, the stamp S3 can be kept in a good state for a relatively long period of time, so that the recyclability is improved. Furthermore, even when the pachinko machine 10 is used for a long period of time, it can be easily confirmed whether or not it is a genuine product at the time of parts replacement, and the management status can be grasped from the certificate S3, so that there is an effect of suppressing illegal dumping. In addition, it is difficult to perform an illegal act of peeling off the certificate paper S3 attached to a predetermined pachinko machine and attaching it to another pachinko machine.

  Further, by making the protective cover 402 detachable, it is difficult to read the specific information described on the certificate sheet S3 through the protective cover 402 due to adhesion of dirt or scratches to the protective cover 402, reflection of light, or the like. In such a case, the protection cover 402 can be removed and the certificate S3 can be viewed directly. As a result, it is possible to improve workability without inconvenience of having to read the specific information many times. Further, when the protective cover 402 is soiled or scratched, it is possible to replace only the protective cover 402 without replacing the certificate paper plate 401 or the certificate paper S3, thereby suppressing an increase in replacement cost. it can.

  An attachment recess 390 to which the certificate sticking unit 400 is attached is provided at the lower right corner of the bulging portion 40 on the opening / closing axis side of the inner frame 12. Since the opening / closing axis side of the inner frame 12 is equipped with a large number of electrical devices that are connected to external devices via a harness or the like, such as the card unit connection board 314, the certificate sticking unit 400 is temporarily not provided. In the configuration in which the certificate sheet S3 is directly attached to the frame 12, the harness or the like may touch the certificate sheet S3, and the characters or the like written on the certificate sheet S may be rubbed and cannot be discriminated. In that respect, in this embodiment, since the certificate sticking unit 400 is provided, such a malfunction is reduced.

  Further, when the stamp sticking unit 400 is mounted near the opening / closing axis of the inner frame 12, for example, the front frame set 14 is opened and the front side of the inner frame 12 such as the launching device 70 is being maintained. In addition, the risk of accidentally removing the protective cover 402 is reduced.

  In addition, by attaching the stamp sticking unit 400 to the lower end of the back wall 40a of the bulging part 40 that is located farther from the units 201 to 203, the sticking work of the stamp S3 and the stamp sticking unit 400 Installation work can be performed more easily.

  In addition, as described above, a large number of members such as the launching device 70 and the harness cover 74 are attached to the bulging portion 40 to which the certificate sticking unit 400 is attached, and the ball passage 71 and the foul ball passage 72 are not formed. Don't be. For this reason, for example, it is desired to secure a space for mounting the launching device 70 as far as possible on the right side of the front side opposite to the opening / closing axis side of the inner frame 12, and a space for forming the ball passage 71 and the foul ball passage 72 in the center. I want to secure it. Therefore, as in the present embodiment, the mounting space for the stamp pasting unit 400 is closer to the opening / closing axis of the inner frame 12, so that it is easy to secure the mounting space for the launching device 70 and the like.

  Also, the mounting recess 390 is provided with means (boss 391 and insertion hole 392) for holding the certificate sticking unit 400 on both the left and right sides, and a substantially flat plate mounting to which the stamp plate 401 is attached at the center. A surface 390a is formed. For this reason, the stamp S3 can be directly pasted on the plate mounting surface 390a without using the stamp pasting unit 400, and convenience is improved.

  Further, the protective cover may be attached to the certificate plate so as not to be detachable with an adhesive or the like, or may be fixed with screws or the like.

  Further, the certificate plate may be supported only by the locking means such as the locking claw, without using the fixing means such as screws, with respect to the inner frame.

  Moreover, it is good also as a structure by which the protective cover was previously assembled | attached to the certificate paper plate. For example, you may employ | adopt the structure by which the protective cover was assembled | attached with respect to the certificate paper plate so that opening and closing was possible.

  Further, the attachment position of the certificate sticking unit 400 is not limited to the opening / closing axis side of the inner frame 12 as in the above embodiment, and may be, for example, the opposite side of the opening / closing axis side of the inner frame 12.

  (B) The attachment procedure of the certificate sticking unit 400 is not limited to the procedure of the above embodiment. For example, the certificate sheet 401 may be attached to the attachment recess 390 in a state where the certificate sheet S3 is pasted on the certificate plate 401 in advance.
