Description

【０００１】
【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は遊技機に用いられる光源及びスピーカを内蔵した電飾装置に関する。
【０００２】
【従来の技術】
図５は特開平１１−３３３０６０号公報で開示された電飾装置を示す。図５において、後方開口箱状のレンズカバー７０が前飾り７１の前面より突出する環状のリブ７２の外周を覆うように取付けられる。レンズカバー７０とリブ７２と前飾り７１の前面とで囲まれた内部空間がランプ収納室７３を形成する。ランプ収納室７３にはレンズカバー７０に取付けられたスピーカ７４及びスピーカ７４の配置位置を除く領域に配置された光源７５を備える。光源７５は前飾り７１に取付けられた基板７６に実装される。レンズカバー７０は前壁にスピーカ７４の取付位置に対応して放音孔７７が形成され、前側に放音孔７７を覆うようにパンチングメタル７８が固定される。そして、スピーカ７４より発生された音が放音孔７７及びパンチングメタル７８を経由してレンズカバー７０の前側に放出される。
【０００３】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
しかし、前記従来例は、光源７５から照射される光が到達する領域つまり照射野内にスピーカ７４が配置される構造である。直線Ｌ１で示すように光源７５からの照射光がレンズカバー７０及びパンチングメタル７８の多数の放音孔７９の一部の放音孔７９を経由して直接照明する。光源７５からの照射光がスピーカ７４で遮られると、スピーカ７４の影がレンズカバー７０及びパンチングメタル７８に形成される。一点鎖線Ｌ２で示すように光源７５からの照射光がレンズカバー７０に反射し、この反射光がスピーカ７４とレンズカバー７０との隙間を通って上記一部の放音孔７９を経由して間接照明となる。よって、レンズカバー７０やパンチングメタル７８の遊技者に見せたい部分に照明むらが生じてしまうことは否めない。
【０００４】
そこで、本発明は、レンズカバーの光による一様な照明とレンズカバーからの音放出とにより、遊技性を向上することができる電飾装置を提供するものである。
【０００５】
【課題を解決するための手段】
本発明にあっては、パチンコ機における額縁状の前飾りに設けられる電飾装置であって、山形の斜面を有するレンズカバーで形成されたランプ収納室にランプ基板とスピーカとを配置し、ランプ基板をレンズカバーから離隔して固定し、ランプ基板に実装された複数の光源によりレンズカバーを通してレンズカバーの前方を照射して、前記スピーカを前記ランプ収納室内における複数の光源からレンズカバーに到達する光の照射野外であるランプ基板の裏面側に配置し、前記スピーカからの音が通過する放音孔を前記ランプ基板と、前記レンズカバーにおける前記山形の斜面のうち、パチンコ機の中心方向に面した斜面にのみ設け、前記スピーカからの音をパチンコ機の中心方向に指向させることを特徴としている。
よって、本発明によれば、ランプ基板の光源から照射された光が当該照射野外に配置されたスピーカで遮られることなく直接的に照明することにより、レンズカバーが照明むら無く照明することができ、又、スピーカから出た音がランプ基板に遮られることなく、レンズカバーの外側に放出されることにより、音と光との共演による演出効果を発揮することができる。
【０００６】
【発明の実施の形態】
図１乃至図３は本発明の第１実施形態に係る電飾装置２０〜２２を示し、図１は電飾装置２０の断面を示し、図２はパチンコ機の正面を示し、図３は電飾装置２０を分解した斜視を示す。
【０００７】
図２を参照し、電飾装置２０；２１；２２を備えたパチンコ機について説明する。遊技機枠体１では額縁状の外枠２と額縁状の前枠３とが互いに枠ヒンジ４で前方横方向に片開き可能に取付けられる。前枠３には額縁状の前飾り５が前飾り５の裏面より突出した図外のボスを介して、前枠３の裏側より図外のねじにより取付けられる。前飾り５は前枠３の前面を覆う装飾性のある化粧材である。前飾り５で囲まれた中央開口部には透視性の有る合成樹脂又はガラスのようなパネル６を有するパネル枠７及び上皿装置８が図外の飾りヒンジで前方横方向に片開き可能に取付けられる。枠ヒンジ４及び飾りヒンジは遊技機枠体１を前側から見て左側と言うように同一側に配置される。上皿装置８及び前飾り５より下方に突出する前枠３の下部には下皿装置９及び球発射装置の球発射力を操作するハンドルグリップ１０が個別に取付けられる。
【０００８】
遊技機枠体１を前側見た場合、パネル６を通してパネル６の裏側に配置されるように遊技機枠体１の内部に格納された遊技盤１１の意匠盤面を見ることができる。この意匠盤面のガイドレール１２で囲まれた内部における遊技領域にはセンター役物としての液晶のような図柄表示装置１３、普通入賞口装置１４、図柄始動入賞口装置１５、大入賞口装置と呼ばれるような変動入賞口装置１６、風車１７、サイドランプ１８、アウト口１９等の遊技部品を備える。上皿装置８に球を入れた状態において、遊技者がハンドルグリップ１０を操作すると、図外の球発射装置が上皿装置８から供給された球を一球ずつ遊技領域内に発射する。この球が図柄始動入賞口装置１５に入賞することにより、図柄表示装置１３が図柄の変動を開始した後に停止する。この図柄表示装置１３での停止した図柄が予め当り図柄として設定された図柄に揃う大当りにより、変動入賞口装置１６の大入賞口１６ａが開放され、変動入賞口装置１６への球の入賞がし易くなる。これ以上の遊技に関する制御は実施形態の趣旨から逸脱するので説明を省略する。前飾り５の左右縁部及び上縁部には電飾装置２０；２１；２２が設けられる。電飾装置２１の設けられる側の前飾り５には前枠３及びパネル枠７の開閉に用いられる施錠装置を操作するための鍵孔２３が形成される。
【０００９】
図３を参照し、電飾装置２０〜２２の前飾り５への取付構造について説明する。電飾装置２０〜２２の取付構造は同一又は類似であるので、電飾装置２０について説明する。以下の説明において、電飾装置２０を電飾装置２１又は電飾装置２２と読み替えることによって電飾装置２１；２２は容易に理解できるであろう。前飾り５の左右縁部及び上縁部は互いに連なるトンネル形状であって、前面が前側に突出し、裏面が前面に沿うように窪む膨出形状である。前飾り５には電飾取付部２４；２５；２６が前側より裏側に窪む凹状に設けられる。電飾取付部２４は相対峙する２つの壁面２４ａを繋ぐ前壁２４ｂに中央の逃孔２４ｃと２つの嵌込孔２４ｄとを有する。嵌込孔２４ｄは２つの壁面２４ａと交わる前壁２４ｂの隅部に位置している。
【００１０】
電飾装置２０はレンズカバー３０とランプ基板３１及びスピーカ３２を有する。レンズカバー３０は電飾装置２０が電飾取付部２４に取付けられた場合に前飾り５の前面に連なる前面を有し、裏面に裏側より前側に窪むランプ収納室３３（図１参照）を有する。ランプ収納室３３はレンズカバー３０の前壁３４及び相対峙する２つの壁３５で囲まれた裏面開放状の箱形になっている。この実施形態では前飾り５の前面が山形斜面を形成することから、レンズカバー３０の前面も山形斜面を形成する。これら山形斜面の内でレンズカバー３０が電飾取付部２４に取付けられた場合に自機で遊技をする遊技者側に指向する前内側壁３４ａには多数の放音孔３６が形成される。放音孔３６はピアノ線のような不正操作部材が挿入し得ない小孔である。
【００１１】
レンズカバー３０の相対峙する２つの壁３５には弾性係合部３７が設けられる。弾性係合部３７はレンズカバー３０の２つの壁３５に端面より前面側に向けて切り込まれた２つの溝３８によってレンズカバー３０の２つの壁３５より区分された形状である。弾性係合部３７はレンズカバー３０の２つの壁３５よりも裏側に延設し、この延設端に外側に突出する爪部３９を有する。ランプ収納室３３を形成するレンズカバー３０の内面にはランプ基板３１取付用の複数の支柱４０が設けられる。レンズカバー３０と支柱４０とは成形型を用いた合成樹脂成形により単一体に形成される。ランプ基板３１はプリント基板のような回路基板にＬＥＤやフィラメント球のような複数の光源４１を実装し、光源４１を避けた位置に基板取付孔４２と基板放音孔４３及びスピーカ３２取付用の基板貫通孔４４を有する。この実施形態では光源４１をランプ基板３１の帯状の長手方向に一列に配置し、一列状の光源４１の両端に基板取付孔４２を配置し、一列状の光源４１を境とする左右両側に多数の基板放音孔４３と基板貫通孔４４を配置した形態である。スピーカ３２は松下通信工業株式会社製のカードタイプ（薄板状）スピーカであって、隅部にスピーカ貫通孔４５を個別に備える。
【００１２】
そして、スピーカ３２の裏側よりタッピングねじのような止ねじ４６をスピーカ貫通孔４５より筒状のステー４７の内部を経由してランプ基板３１の基板貫通孔４４に挿入し、ランプ基板３１より前側に突出した止ねじ４６にナット４８を締結することにより、スピーカ３２がランプ基板３１の裏側にステー４７によって定められた所定間隔を以って固定される。これらのランプ基板３１や光源４１及びスピーカ３２並びにステー４７更に止ねじ４６よりなる複合体はレンズカバー３０のランプ収納室３３に格納される。その状態において、ランプ基板３１の裏側よりタッピングねじのような止ねじ４９を基板取付孔４２よりレンズカバー３０の支柱４０に締結する。これらのレンズカバー３０やランプ基板３１及びスピーカ３２並びに光源４１更にステー４７加えて止ねじ４６；４９よりなるユニットである電飾装置２０は次のように前飾り５に取付けられる。
【００１３】
電飾装置２０の弾性係合部３７を電飾取付部２４の相対峙する２つの壁面２４ａで案内すると共に内側に撓ませつつ、レンズカバー３０を電飾取付部２４に前方より裏側に向けて押込む。この押し込みによって弾性係合部３７の爪部３９が電飾取付部２４の相対峙する２つの壁面２４ａより嵌込孔２４ｄに挿入し、爪部３９が嵌込孔２４ｄを電飾取付部２４の裏面側に越えることによって、弾性係合部３７が外側に復元し、爪部３９が嵌合孔２４ｄ周りの電飾取付部２４の裏面に係合する。これによって、電飾装置２０が前飾り５に取付けられる。電飾装置２０が前飾り５に取付けられる過程において、スピーカ３２より延びる図示を省略した配線及びランプ基板３１より延びる図示を省略した配線それぞれは逃孔２４ｃを経由して前飾り５の裏側に引き出される。これらの配線は前飾り５が図２の前枠３に取付けられる際に、前枠３と前飾り５とで囲まれる内部空間を経由し、前枠３に形成された図外の配線用孔より前枠３の裏側に引き出される。
【００１４】
図１を参照し、電飾装置２０を例としてそれの作用について説明する。前飾り５が前枠３に取付けられ、電飾装置２０が前飾り５に取付けられた状態において、ランプ基板３１やスピーカ３２及び光源４１並びにステー４７更に止ねじ４６；４９は前飾り５や前枠３より遊離した状態でレンズカバー３０に支持されている。よって、図外の配線よりランプ基板３１に電力が供給され、光源４１が発光すると、係る光源４１からの照射された光はレンズカバー３０に直接光として入射しレンズカバー３０を照明むらの無い一様な状態で良好に照明し自機で遊技する遊技者に視認される。入射光の一部は自機で遊技する遊技者に指向するようにレンズカバー３０に設けられた放音孔３６を通過してレンズカバー３０の外側に出て遊技者に視認される。図外の配線よりスピーカ３２に電力が供給され、スピーカ３２が動作し、スピーカ３２から出た音は、ランプ基板３１の基板放音孔４３及びレンズカバー３０の放音孔３６を順に経由してレンズカバー３０の外側に放出される。
【００１５】
レンズカバー３０の放音孔３６が自機で遊技する遊技者に向けられる構造であるため、上記レンズカバー３０の外側に放出された音は自機で遊技する遊技者に有効に到達し、隣接する他機で遊技する遊技者に届きずらく隣接遊技者の遊技に妨げとはならない。基板放音孔４３を有するランプ基板３１が前側で、スピーカ３２がランプ基板３１の裏側に配置されると言うように、ランプ基板３１とスピーカ３２とを前後方向で多段に配置したので、ランプ収納室３３の平面積が小さくても、ランプ基板３１とスピーカ３２とを大きくすることができる。電飾装置２０〜２２における光源４１による発光表示とスピーカ３２による効果音とは前述した大当り遊技の効果演出として使用される。
【００１６】
図４は本発明の第２実施形態の電飾装置６０を示す。図４において、レンズカバー６１の放音孔３６を有する前内側壁６１ａより突出した支柱４０に無孔のランプ基板６２を止ねじ４９で取付け、レンズカバー６１の無孔壁６１ｂより突出した支柱６３にスピーカ３２を止ねじ４６で取付けたことにより、ランプ収納室３３にランプ基板６２とスピーカ３２とを互いに交差する方向で離隔配置したものであって、隣接する他機で遊技する遊技者への照明をスピーカ３２で遮光すると共に、スピーカ３２の音の直接的な放出とランプ基板６２に実装された光源４１の光の直接的な照明とによる演出効果を自機で遊技する遊技者に指向させることができる。
【００１７】
図２に示す前飾り５、パネル６、パネル枠７、上皿装置８よりなる前飾り構成体において、前飾り５に電飾装置２０〜２２又は図４に示す電飾装置６０を設けたが、パネル６に電飾取付部２４〜２６に相当する電飾取付部を設け、当該電飾取付部に上記電飾装置２０〜２２；６０を設けても同様に適用できる。この場合、電飾取付部のパネル６への設置位置は、図２においてガイドレール１２の外側である非遊技領域とすれば、ガイドレール１２で囲まれた内側の遊技領域を電飾装置２０〜２２；６０で狭くするような不都合はない。又、電飾装置２０〜２２；６０をパネル６に設ける場合、当該パネル６の部分をレンズカバー３０；６１として形成し、当該パネル６の部分と対応する遊技盤１１にランプ基板３１やステー４７及びスピーカ３２並びに止ねじ４６よりなるユニットを取付けることも可能である。
【００１８】
図１及び図４において、２つの仮想線間の領域が光源４１からレンズカバー３０；６１に到達する光の照射野Ｓであって、この照射野Ｓは電飾装置２０〜２２；６０を備えた遊技機で遊技する遊技者に見せたい照明部分である。

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to an electric decoration device incorporating a light source and a speaker used in a gaming machine.
[0002]
[Prior art]
FIG. 5 shows an electric decoration device disclosed in Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 11-33060. In FIG. 5, a rear-opening box-shaped lens cover 70 is attached so as to cover the outer periphery of an annular rib 72 protruding from the front surface of the front decoration 71. An internal space surrounded by the lens cover 70, the rib 72, and the front surface of the front decoration 71 forms a lamp storage chamber 73. The lamp storage chamber 73 includes a speaker 74 attached to the lens cover 70 and a light source 75 disposed in an area excluding the position where the speaker 74 is disposed. The light source 75 is mounted on a substrate 76 attached to the front decoration 71. The lens cover 70 has a sound emitting hole 77 formed in the front wall corresponding to the mounting position of the speaker 74, and a punching metal 78 is fixed on the front side so as to cover the sound emitting hole 77. Then, the sound generated from the speaker 74 is emitted to the front side of the lens cover 70 via the sound emission hole 77 and the punching metal 78.
[0003]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
However, the conventional example has a structure in which the speaker 74 is disposed in a region where the light emitted from the light source 75 reaches, that is, in the irradiation field. As indicated by the straight line L 1, the light emitted from the light source 75 directly illuminates through the lens cover 70 and some sound emission holes 79 of the punching metal 78. When the irradiation light from the light source 75 is blocked by the speaker 74, a shadow of the speaker 74 is formed on the lens cover 70 and the punching metal 78. As indicated by the alternate long and short dash line L 2, the light emitted from the light source 75 is reflected by the lens cover 70, and this reflected light passes through the gap between the speaker 74 and the lens cover 70 and indirectly through the sound emission holes 79. It becomes lighting. Therefore, it cannot be denied that uneven illumination occurs in the portions of the lens cover 70 and the punching metal 78 that are desired to be shown to the player.
[0004]
Therefore, the present invention provides an electrical decoration device that can improve the playability by uniform illumination with light from the lens cover and sound emission from the lens cover.
[0005]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
According to the present invention, there is provided an electric decoration device provided on a frame-shaped front decoration in a pachinko machine, wherein a lamp substrate and a speaker are arranged in a lamp storage chamber formed by a lens cover having a mountain-shaped slope, The substrate is fixed apart from the lens cover, and the front of the lens cover is irradiated through the lens cover by a plurality of light sources mounted on the lamp substrate, so that the speaker reaches the lens cover from the plurality of light sources in the lamp housing chamber. Placed on the back side of the lamp substrate that is outside the light irradiation field, the sound emitting hole through which the sound from the speaker passes passes through the lamp substrate and the angled surface of the angled surface of the lens cover in the center direction of the pachinko machine. It is provided only on the inclined surface , and the sound from the speaker is directed toward the center of the pachinko machine .
Therefore, according to the present invention, the light emitted from the light source of the lamp substrate is directly illuminated without being blocked by the speaker disposed outside the irradiation field, so that the lens cover can be illuminated without uneven illumination. In addition, the sound produced from the speaker is emitted to the outside of the lens cover without being blocked by the lamp substrate, so that a production effect due to the co-starring of sound and light can be exhibited.
