JP 2002-360806 A

  However, in the game part fixing method for a pachinko gaming machine described in Patent Document 1, the game board may be bent by the pressing force applied to the game board when hitting a screw. The above problem will be described below with reference to FIG. FIG. 8 is a front view of a rectangular plate-like member 6 that is a base member of the game board. As shown in FIG. 8, the plate-like member 6 is formed with a hole 61 for accommodating the image display 21 and the accessory 7. The peripheral portion 62 of the hole 61 has a convex portion 621 that protrudes toward the hole 61 in a direction parallel to the plate surface of the plate-like member 6. And in order to fix the accessory 7 to the plate-like member 6, the screw hole 71 formed in the accessory 7 passes through the convex portion 621, and a screw (not shown) from the front side (front side) of the figure. It is struck toward the back side.

  At the time of this screwing, a pressing force is applied to the convex portion 621 from the front side to the rear side in the drawing, and the convex portion 621 may be bent back. That is, since the convex portion 621 has a so-called cantilever shape, a concave portion 622 (so-called a cantilever-like member) formed so that the hole 61 protrudes in a direction parallel to the plate surface of the plate-like member 6. Compared with, it is very easy to bend. In order to solve this problem, conventionally, a connecting member 63 that connects the convex portion 621 and the concave portion 622 facing the convex portion 621 has been provided. However, for example, when the accessory 7 includes a light emitting member such as an LED (Light Emitting Diode) and performs various effects by light, in order to perform a natural effect, the LED and the accessory 7 The distance from the front side member needs to be a predetermined distance (for example, 30 mm) or more. Specifically, for example, in an accessory that has an LED light source inside and a reflector on the outside (the front side of the gaming machine), the light from the LED light source reflects (diffuses) to the reflector and emits light. If the length in the depth direction is not sufficient, the distance from the LED light source to the reflecting plate for diffusing light becomes short. For this reason, since the light from the LED does not diffuse sufficiently, it becomes impossible to make the accessory shine beautifully as a result. Therefore, with such an accessory, it is necessary to ensure a sufficient length in the depth direction. In recent years, in order to perform a more effective performance, there is a tendency that movable accessories that can be moved at the time of production are becoming larger. In the case where the connecting member 63 is provided, the size of such an accessory (particularly the size in the depth direction) is limited. On the other hand, in the case where the connecting member 63 is not provided, a plate-like member is used for screwing. There is a possibility that the six convex portions 621 bend.
