FIG. 19 is a longitudinal sectional view (BB sectional view of FIG. 5) of an essential part, and FIG. 19 is a longitudinal sectional view of principal part (BB sectional view of FIG. 5) of a base frame on which an image display unit is mounted.

As shown in FIG. 8 and the like, a base frame body (liquid crystal base frame) 30 having an opening 30a penetrating in the front-rear direction is assembled on the back surface (rear surface) of the game board 2, and the back side of the base frame body An image display unit (image display device 61 and image display cover 65) 60 is assembled on the (rear side) so as to close the opening 30a. A lamp relay substrate 66 is assembled on the back surface (rear surface) of the image display cover (liquid crystal cover) 65, and a main substrate that houses a main control substrate at the lower back of the image display cover 65 below the lamp relay substrate 66. A case 90 is attached.
Effect control so that the back side of the image display unit (liquid crystal unit) 60 fixed to the back side of the base frame 30 overlaps at least part of the back side of the image display unit when viewed from the back side (rear side). Substrates 51 and 52 are spaced apart. In other words, the image display unit and each effect control board are both arranged on the base frame, but the image display unit is located in front of the effect control board, and when viewed from the back, the image display unit and the effect control. It is in an overlapping positional relationship with the substrate. Further, the image display unit 60 has a side (left-right direction), vertical direction, or diagonal direction of the base frame body with respect to an image display unit storage gap (storage space) G provided in front of the effect control board. It is configured so that it can be slidably mounted. That is, the image display unit 60 is configured to be detachable from the storage space G from a direction other than the front-rear direction with respect to the base frame.
The base frame (liquid crystal base) 30 is a substantially quadrangular annular body having an opening 30 a penetrating in the front-rear direction, and the annular front surface 31 is attached to and fixed to the back surface of the game board 2. There is a space for arranging various circuit boards and components on the back of the base frame. That is, the back surface of the base frame body is a thin plate-like display unit support member (image display unit arrangement ) formed along the periphery of the opening 30a to support (arrange) the outer periphery of the front surface of the image display device 61 (7). Part) 32 and a display unit support member 32, and a substantially L-shaped and thin plate-like mounting base 35 fixed to the base frame body with a predetermined gap G therebetween. Yes. The attachment base 35 is wider than the display unit support member 32, and extends a required length inward from the inner peripheral edge of the opening 30a.

The display unit support member (image display unit arrangement portion) 32 is formed by forming a narrow strip-shaped metal plate into a square ring shape, and is integrated with the base frame. An opening 30 a is formed inside the annular display unit support member 32. Screw holes 32a are formed in the sides 32A to 32D of the display unit support member 32 for screwing the front face of the image display device 61 attached to the back face thereof. The display unit support member 32 is extended and formed along the periphery of the opening 30a in a posture parallel to the game board surface, and supports the front outer periphery of the image display device 61 attached from the back side. Since the sides 32A to 32D are located on the same plane, the posture of the image display device is uniquely determined by attaching the front surface of the image display device to each side and screwing (vertical in this example). Can be confirmed.

As shown in FIG. 9, the front-rear thickness W2 from the front surface 31 of the base frame 30 to the rear surface of the mounting base 35 is W1>. W2. That is, since the display unit support member 32 is positioned forward by the gap G relative to the mounting base 35, the image display unit 60 is accommodated between the mounting base 35 and the display unit support member 32. A space G is formed.
If the thickness dimension W1 of the base frame is standardized, the distance W2 in the front-rear direction from the front surface 31 to the display unit support member 32 is more forward than the back surface of the base frame by the gap (storage space) G. positioned. That is, the gap can be formed while keeping the thickness in the front-rear direction of the base frame body as a standard dimension (without increasing it).
A guide surface (mounting guide portion) 33 is formed so as to project rearward from the lower edge of the lower side 32A of the display unit support member 32, and the guide surface 33 is slid from the horizontal direction and mounted on the image display unit 60. Guide it in contact with the bottom (bottom side bottom). The guide surface 33 is formed by bending a part of the plate member constituting the display unit support member 32 backward.

  As shown in FIG. 13 and FIG. 14, a positioning oblong hole that is larger in diameter than the screw hole 32 a and is long in the horizontal direction near the left end of the lower side 32 </ b> A when viewed from the back (back in the image display unit insertion direction). 34 is formed through. When the image display unit 60 is completely mounted in the storage space (image display unit mounting portion) G, the elongated hole 34 is provided with a positioning projection 70 (FIG. 15) that protrudes from a corresponding front surface portion of the image display device 61. ) Are positioned so that the display unit support member 32 (image display unit mounting portion) and the image display unit 60 are positioned. The protrusion 70 has an elliptical outline that aligns with the elongated hole 34, and an inclined surface 70 a is formed on a part thereof. The inclined surface 70a is fitted into the elongated hole 34 when the image display unit mounted in the storage space G as shown in FIG. 5 is slid out of the image display unit mounting portion as shown in FIG. The mating protrusions 70 can be smoothly removed.

As shown in FIGS. 10 to 14, a guide space for slidably guiding the upper side of the image display unit 60 is provided between the upper side 32B of the display unit support member and the mounting base 35 fixed to the rear side thereof. A place G1 (mounting guide) is formed. That is, a gap, that is, a storage space (image display unit mounting portion) G is formed between the front surface of the mounting base 35 and the display unit support member 32, and the guide space G 1 is a part of the storage space G. Is configured.

Further, a space for fitting the left side of the image display unit is formed between the rear side (left side in rear view) 32C of the display unit support member and the mounting base 35.
Since there is no obstacle that hinders the attachment / detachment of the image display unit 60 around the right side (rear view) 32D of the display unit support member, the image display unit 60 is placed in parallel with the display unit support member 32. By sliding the image display unit from the right side 32D side to the left (in parallel with the game board surface) with the lower side 32A corresponding to the guide surface 33 and the upper side 32B fitted in the guide space G1, It can be stored in a storage space G formed between the display unit support member 32 and the mounting base 35.
A substantially L-shaped mounting member 50 is fixed to the back surface of the mounting base 35, and effect control boards 51 and 52 are fixedly disposed on the back surface of the mounting member 50 by screws or the like. The effect control board is a circuit board that controls effects related to games such as gimmick operations supported by the game board, the base frame 30, the decorative member 6 and the like, and images of the image display device 61 (7).

In this example, the mounting member 50 is assembled to the back surface of the mounting base 35 that is formed in a substantially L-shape extending in the vertical and horizontal directions from the upper left corner (back view) of the opening 30a of the base frame. A first effect control board 51 is attached and fixed to the first attachment surface 50a of the attachment member 50, and a second effect control board is provided to the second attachment surface 50b extending laterally from the upper part of the first attachment surface. 52 is attached and fixed. In addition, the 1st and 2nd attachment surfaces 50a and 50b comprise the effect control board arrangement | positioning part.
Each effect control board 51, 52 is connected to a main board, a gimmick, an image display device, and the like.
Thus, the base frame (liquid crystal base) 30 includes the storage space (image display unit mounting portion) G provided in front of the portion where the effect control boards 51 and 52 are disposed, and the image display unit 60 in the storage space G. A mounting guide portion 35, G1 for detachably mounting from the side is provided. For this reason, the image display unit 60 can be mounted while being accurately positioned in the storage space G by sliding laterally from the open part on the right side 32D side where no obstacle exists.
In other words, the effect control boards 51 and 52 are arranged on the back surface of the base frame body avoiding the storage space G.

When the image display unit 60 is not attached to the base frame 30 as shown in FIGS. 6B and 7B, the opening 30a of the base frame is not closed. Even in this state, the performance control boards 51 and 52 are in a state of being electrically connected to various gimmicks, so that it is possible to perform gimmick operation tests. That is, regardless of whether the image display unit 60 is attached or not, the gimmick can be operated using the effect control board.
Next, when the image display unit 60 is mounted in the storage space G, as shown in FIGS. 6B, 6A, 7B, 7A, the side (right side) of the base frame 30 is provided. The image display unit 60 can be mounted along the lower side 32A and the upper side 32B by sliding the image display unit 60 horizontally. After the mounting, since the front surface of the image display unit 60 is in contact with the back surface of the display unit support member 32, both are fixed using the screw holes 32a.
The image display unit 60 is mounted, and the operation test of the image display device using the effect control board is performed by electrically connecting the main board and the image display device 61 to each of the effect control boards 51 and 52. Can do.
When detaching the image display unit from the base frame, a procedure reverse to the above may be taken.

As described above, the effect control boards 51 and 52 are located behind the image display unit mounting portion G, and both are overlapped in a rear view, but are in a front-rear direction positional relationship that does not interfere with each other. Even if a large image display device unit having an area comparable to the area of the back surface of 30 is mounted, it is possible to secure room for placing the effect control boards 51 and 52 and other components at the back surface position of the base frame. it can.
In other words, in the present invention, in a gaming machine equipped with an image display device such as a large-sized liquid crystal display device, in order to secure an area for installing the effect control board on the base frame body, An area for arranging the effect control board is secured in the base frame part on the back side. In other words, a storage space for detachably storing the image display device is formed from an appropriate position on the outer peripheral surface of the base frame body to the inside, and the effect control board is disposed behind the storage space. Since the effect control board is spaced apart from the back side of the image display device, the effect control board is arranged without being affected by the size of the image display device and without increasing the size of the base frame. A sufficient area can be secured.

That is, according to the present invention, in a gaming machine equipped with a large-area image display unit, an image display is provided in order to secure a portion for arranging the effect control board for controlling the effect of the gimmick and the image display device in the base frame. A storage space G for housing the unit was formed inside the thickness dimension of the base frame body, and an effect control board arrangement portion for arranging an effect control board on the back side of the storage space G was provided. Furthermore, by providing mounting guide portions 33 and G1 for sliding the image display unit in the storage space G on the side surface of the base frame body and attaching / detaching it, directions other than the back direction of the base frame body (side, upward, It is possible to attach and detach from the downward and diagonal directions.
For this reason, it is possible to arrange the effect control board without being affected by the shape and size of the image display unit and without increasing the thickness of the base frame.

In addition, as a result of enabling the production control board to be independently arranged on a part on the base frame different from the image display unit, even in a state where the image display unit is not attached to the base frame, It is possible to experimentally control the gimmick and the video of the image display device by operating the effect control board.
That is, in the conventional structure in which the image display unit is assembled on the back surface of the base frame body, it is impossible to secure a space for arranging the effect control board on the back surface of the base frame body by mounting a large area image display unit. A production control board must be mounted on the back of the image display unit. With this configuration, since the connection with the gimmick can be made only in a state where the effect control board is assembled on the back surface of the image display unit, only the effect control board is provided without the image display unit being mounted on the base frame. It was difficult to operate alone.

In particular, since the gimmick manufacturer and the image display unit manufacturer are separate, the image display unit manufacturer assembles the production control board on the back of the image display unit and connects them to the gaming machine. It is common to ship to an assembly factory. At the assembly factory, an image display unit equipped with a production control board is attached to the base frame body, and the gimmicks delivered from the gimmick contractor are assembled at predetermined positions on the game board and the base frame body and then connected to the production control board. This makes it possible for the first time to conduct a test to operate the gimmick.
Therefore, conventionally, it was not possible to carry out an operation for verifying the quality of the gimmick operation without mounting the image display unit on the base frame.
