Description

  The present invention relates to an outer frame of a gaming machine such as a pachinko gaming machine, and more particularly, to a gaming machine in which a decorative board unit is fitted and fixed to a lower front portion inside an outer frame main body formed in a rectangular frame shape by a metal member. Concerning the outer frame.

  Conventionally, the outer frame of a pachinko gaming machine is generally made of wood such as plywood, the upper frame plate, the lower frame plate, and the left and right side frame plates are each cut into a strip shape, and each plate is combined into a rectangular frame shape, Hinge metal fittings, reinforcement metal fittings, etc. are fixed to these corners, and the outer frame is formed in a rectangular frame shape. However, this kind of wooden outer frame, when the timber is damaged during manufacturing, or when discarding used gaming machines, after removing the metal fittings such as the hinge bracket, discard the xylem (incineration) Since disposal has required many man-hours for removal of metal fittings, there has been a problem that recycling and reuse cannot be performed.

  Therefore, conventionally, an outer frame of a gaming machine using a metal material such as aluminum has been proposed in the following Patent Document 1 from the viewpoint of recycling.

Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2002-200295

  This type of conventional outer frame is formed by extruding each side portion with a metal material such as aluminum, and bending the end of each side portion into a right-angled cylinder. In a state where the corners of the outer frame are connected at right angles, the side portions and the right-angle reinforcing material are fastened and fixed with fixing screws, thereby forming a rectangular frame-shaped outer frame.

  This type of conventional metal outer frame has a rectangular tube shape on each side, or a U-shaped cross section of the frame, so that Has a structure that reinforces the shape of the corners by holding a right-angle reinforcing member at the corners of each side while maintaining the required strength.

  However, the outer frame of a gaming machine is usually about 45 cm in width and about 75 cm in height, with a large square interior space, so the outer frame receives a lateral load, that is, the outer frame. When a load in the diagonal direction (a deformation load from obliquely above) is applied to the upper corner portion, there is no bracing to hold the load, and the rectangular outer frame is easily deformed. For this reason, when the outer frame assembled in advance in the manufacturing process of the gaming machine is transported to another place such as the next assembly process, the strength is low in the state of only the outer frame, and such transport There was a problem that the outer frame was easily deformed in the middle or during assembly work.

  On the other hand, in a conventional wooden outer frame, a curtain plate such as a plywood is fixed to the lower front part of the outer frame main body with a nail or a wood screw, so that the strength of the outer frame is kept high to some extent. However, in the case of the outer frame of the above-mentioned Patent Document 1, the structure is such that the synthetic resin curtain plate is simply fitted into the lower front part of the outer frame, so that the rectangular frame outer frame is effective by this curtain plate. As described above, there is a problem that when the outer frame is transported to another manufacturing place or manufacturing process as described above, the outer frame is easily deformed due to a decrease in strength of the outer frame.

  The present invention solves the above-mentioned problems, and the strength of the outer frame can be easily increased by simply fitting the decorative board unit to the inner lower front part of the outer frame in a detachable manner. An object of the present invention is to provide an outer frame of a gaming machine that can maintain high.

In order to achieve the above object, the outer frame of the gaming machine according to claim 1 of the present invention is:
