7 and 98 are fixed by a fixing member. A fixed state in the region R1 and the region R2 surrounded by the two-dot chain line will be described with reference to FIGS.

First, the region R1 will be described. As shown in FIGS. 8, 9, and 20, the clamp unit 60 is suspended and supported in the housing portion 59. In the present embodiment, only the basic structure of the clamp unit 60 will be described. A lever 106 is pivotally supported by a pivot shaft 104 at the center of the case 105 of the clamp unit 60. In the case 105, the clamp pin 1 is positioned at the left and right positions sandwiching the lever 106 and shifted in the front-rear direction.
07 and 108 are respectively arranged. Both clamp pins 107, 108 are configured by opposingly arranging members configured in the same shape in opposite directions so that the tip faces in the left-right direction,
The proximal portions of the clamp pins 107 and 108 are pivotally supported at portions facing each other across the rotation shaft 104 of the lever 106. As a result, a link mechanism is formed between the clamp pins 107 and 108 and the lever 106. Both clamp pins 107 and 108 are guided by the long hole 110 as the lever 106 rotates, and slide the case 105 to the left and right.

When the lever 106 is in a position protruding forward as shown in FIG. 20A, both the clamp pins 107 and 108 are retracted in the case 105. Then, the lever 106 is moved to FIG.
), The clamp pins 107,
Each of the tips 108 protrudes from the case 105 in the left-right direction.
In such a configuration, the hook 95 is accommodated in a state in which both the clamp pins 107 and 108 are retracted into the case 105 as shown in FIG. 20A, that is, in a state in which the both clamp pins 107 and 108 do not interfere with the hook 95. It is accommodated in the part 59. That is, the clamp unit 6
The zero case 105 is placed between the left and right hooks 95. And FIG. 20 (b)
By rotating the lever 106 as shown in FIG.
Project from 05 and advance to the front of the left and right hooks 95. As a result, the hook 9
5 is pressed by both clamp pins 107 and 108 and fixed to the door frame 61 side (state of FIG. 8).

Next, the region R2 will be described. In the present embodiment, the clamp levers 58 are disposed at three locations. However, in order to avoid overlapping description, the detailed description is represented by the region R2.
The glass unit 75 is disposed in the mounting space 57. As shown in FIG. 19, positioning pins 111 formed on the back surface of the door frame 61 are arranged in the positioning holes 110 formed in the positioning plate 96. The clamp lever 58 has a rotating shaft 112 and a pressing arm 1.
13 is provided. The pressing arm 113 of the clamp lever 58 fixes the pressing plate 97 at the position shown by the solid line in FIGS. 18B and 19 in the use shown in FIG.
On the other hand, a stopper 115 and a pressing hill 116 are formed at a position adjacent to the clamp lever 58 on the rear surface of the door frame 61. The pressing hill 116 is a gently curved hill-shaped protrusion, and interferes with the back surface of the pressing arm 113 to prevent the clamp lever 58 from moving freely. Accordingly, when not in use, the clamp lever 58 abuts against the stopper 115 and is held by the pressure hill 116 and held at the position indicated by the phantom lines in FIGS.

As shown in FIGS. 2, 3, and 4, various control devices are arranged in an overlapping manner on the back surface of the main body frame 14 (game board 27). The control device is roughly divided into three units.
A game ball supply device 121 for supplying 0 and game balls, a first unit 124 having a protective cover 123 and the like, a second unit 125 having a main control device and an audio lamp control device, a payout control device, and a launch control device And a third unit 126 including a power supply device.

Next, in the pachinko gaming machine 11 configured as described above, the relationship between the pachinko ball launch passage 49 and the glass unit 75 will be described mainly based on FIG. 7 and FIG.
As shown in FIG. 25, in a state where the door frame 61 is closed with respect to the main body frame 14, the shielding portion 92 shields the area indicated by the oblique lines of the pachinko ball launch passage 49 from the front surface. As shown in FIG. 7 and FIG. 7, the shielding portion 92 is a pachinko ball launching passage 49 with the most vigorous pachinko balls.
The front half P is shielded from the front. (Strip-shaped portion indicated by p in FIG. 25). Further, the middle half portion Q where the momentum of the pachinko sphere is weakened is also shielded from the front by a belt-like portion indicated by q in FIG. The latter part R, where the momentum of the pachinko ball is weakened, is not necessary to be shielded. 92 is hardly applied to the second half R.

As shown in FIGS. 25 and 26, at the position where the shielding portion 92 is formed, both the glass plates 77 and 78 are slightly present at the front position of the pachinko ball launch passage 49. That is, in the present embodiment, the rear glass plate 78 protrudes to the pachinko ball launch passage 49 side outside the inner rail 52. However, since the pachinko sphere is a sphere, even if the rear side glass plate 78 protrudes to the pachinko ball launch passage 49 side as shown in FIG. 26, the position where the pachinko sphere is closest to the rear side glass plate 78 as shown in FIG. Even in this case, the pachinko sphere does not come into contact with the rear glass plate 78 because of the relationship between the diameter of the pachinko sphere and the amount of protrusion of the glass plate 78 toward the pachinko ball launch passage 49.

Now, the game ball (pachinko ball) launched by the pachinko ball launching unit 17 slides on the auxiliary rail 20 and then transfers to the outer rail 51 and passes through the pachinko ball launch passage 49.
The pachinko balls launched at this time do not always slide on the outer rail 51 along the same locus.
Further, not all pachinko balls that have been launched reach the game area. Some pachinko spheres go backward in the pachinko ball launch passage 49 without being given sufficient propulsive force. Therefore, in the pachinko ball launching passage 49, the pachinko ball that collides with the pachinko ball that makes contact with or moves backward on the surrounding wall surface jumps and hits the surrounding wall surface strongly. Conventionally, since the rear glass plate was shielded in front of the pachinko ball launch passage 49, the glass plate was easily damaged and cracked by such a behavior of the pachinko ball.
However, in the present embodiment, the pachinko ball is completely shielded by the shielding portion 92 of the glass frame 76 in the front half P of the pachinko ball launch passage 49 where the pachinko ball is most vigorous and in the middle half Q where the momentum is still strong. The rear side glass plate 78 is not hit.

Next, in the pachinko gaming machine 11 configured as described above, the relationship between the glass unit 75 disposed on the back surface of the door frame 61 and the game board 27 on the main body frame 14 side is mainly shown in FIGS.
And it demonstrates based on FIGS. 21-24. FIG. 7 is a diagram supplementing FIG.
The portions other than the game surface 27a are omitted on the side, and the structure of the concave portion 84 in the bulging portion 80 is omitted from the glass frame 76 and overlapped. In the pachinko gaming machine 11, since the diagram of the members overlapping in the front-rear direction becomes difficult to understand, it is difficult to illustrate the overlapping state of the members in a single drawing. Therefore, FIG. 7 is represented by omitting the subordinate members other than the main part of the present invention.

As shown in FIGS. 6 and 7, in a state where the door frame 61 is closed with respect to the main body frame 14,
The inner area surrounded by the ridges 82 of the glass frame 76 substantially coincides with the game area.
At this time, in the present embodiment, the rear surface 81B and the game surface 2 of the glass frame 76 (flat plate portion 81).
The distance between the rear surface 81B and the front end of the inner rail 52 is set to 3 mm. Such a distance between the glass frame 76 and the game surface 27a depends on the size of the pachinko ball and various members (the liquid crystal display 36 and the windmill 4) arranged on the game surface 27a.
3 etc.) and the amount of projection of the game nail are set. As a result, the front surface of the gaming surface 27a is not in contact with the gaming surface 27a, and the glass unit 75 disposed on the rear surface of the door frame 61 is disposed, and a gaming ball (pachinko ball) that falls in the gaming area is also provided. However, it does not spill from the gap between the inner rail 52 and the glass unit 75 between the main body frame 14 and the door frame 61.

As shown in FIG. 7, the inner periphery of the glass frame 76 defined by the ridges 82 is the main body frame 1.
In the state where the door frame 61 is closed with respect to 4, it is arranged in the vicinity of the inner rail 52 and slightly outside the inner rail 52. As described above, the distance between the rear surface 81B of the glass frame 76 and the front end of the inner rail 52 is set to 3 mm.
Therefore, as shown in FIG. 22 to FIG. 24, the inner rail 52 and the flange 99 are overlapped with each other. In FIG. 7, at the AA position, which is the lowest position of the inner rail 52, the flange 99 protrudes 5 mm rearward from the rear surface 81 </ b> B, so that the front end of the inner rail 52 overlaps 2 mm as shown in FIG. 21. Also, even at a position slightly swung from the AA position in the left-right direction, for example, the BB position, the collar portion 99 protrudes 5 mm rearward from the rear surface 81B, and as shown in FIG. Become.

However, at a position where the vertical component increases from the lowest position to the inner rail 52 (here, close to both sides of the curved inner rail 52), the interference between the inner rail 52 and the flange 99 is prevented when the door frame 61 is opened. There is a need to. In the present embodiment, for example, as shown in FIG. 12 and the like, the collar portion 99 is tapered so that the protruding amount decreases toward the end near the left and right sides as the vertical component increases. Therefore, for example, at the CC position, as shown in FIG. 23, the overlapping amount with the front end of the inner rail 52 is smaller than the above position (about half here).
As described above, the flange 99 is overlapped with the lower side of the inner rail 52 in a relatively wide range below the inner rail 52.
In addition, the inner rail 52 is not disposed at the DD position relatively spaced from the passage 68 on the back surface of the tray 67. However, at this position, the partial wall surface 31 of the window hole 29 that demarcates the game area is slightly offset toward the game area side, and the glass frame 76 is moved to the front plate portion 30 as shown in FIG.
And have been duplicated.

If such a collar 99 is not formed, a gap is formed between the glass frame 76 and the front end of the inner rail 52, and those who try to cheat are shown in FIG. It is possible to form a through hole that communicates with the wire, insert an elongated tool such as a wire, and guide the wire from the gap to the gaming surface 27a.
However, in the present embodiment, when the door frame 61 is closed on the main body frame 14, the collar portion 99 is disposed in a lower position of the inner rail 52 with respect to the inner rail 52. Even if it is going to be inserted, since the gap is shielded by these overlapping relationships, it is difficult to guide the wire to the game surface 27a. Even if it can be derived, since the operation tends to take a very long time, the deterrent effect is great. As a result, it becomes difficult to carry out fraudulent acts that increase the interval between game nails.

Further, since the buttock 99 is overlapped at the lower position of the inner rail 52, there is no structural change in the game area, and the player is not affected by the game content by the presence or absence of the buttock 99. .
Further, since the collar 99 moves away from the position overlapping with the inner rail 52 together with the door frame 61 as the door frame 61 is opened, when the door frame 61 is opened for inspection on the main body frame 14 side. The collar 99 does not interfere with the inspection work.
Further, since the inner rail 52 is formed in an arc shape, a vertical component is generated near both the left and right sides. At this time, if the collar part 99 protrudes too long rearward, the door frame 61 may rotate together with the door frame 61, and the collar part 99 may interfere with the inner rail 52 to open the door frame 61. Arise.
However, in the present embodiment, the flange portion 99 is reduced in the protruding amount with the increase in the vertical component near both the left and right sides where the vertical component increases, so that the member interference due to the opening of the door frame 61 does not occur. It has become.

With the configuration as described above, the above embodiment has the following effects.
(1) Since the front side of the pachinko ball launching passage 49 is shielded by the shielding portion 92 and the rear side glass plate 78 does not face, the pachinko ball passing through the pachinko ball launching passage 49 comes into contact with the rear side glass plate 78. Therefore, there is no problem that the glass surface is scratched or broken. In particular, since the front half P and the middle half Q, where the pachinko balls are strong, are completely covered, such a risk is eliminated during the period when the scratches or cracks are most likely to occur.
(2) The rear side glass plate 78 is formed so as to protrude slightly to the position in front of the pachinko ball launch passage 49, and it is felt very widely when the player sees the game surface 27a through the visual window hole 62.
By the way, theoretically, even if the rear side glass plate 78 is arranged at the position of the inner rail 52, and the glass plate 78 does not protrude to the front position of the pachinko ball launch passage 49, the entire game area may be visible. In reality, however, the ridges 82 supporting the glasses 77 and 78 are in the way, and the corners of the game area cannot actually be seen unless viewed from an oblique direction. Further, when the two glasses 77 and 78 are viewed from an oblique direction, the thickness of the glass is increased and the transmittance is lowered, so that the glass 77 and 78 are very difficult to see compared to when facing the glasses 77 and 78. However, in this embodiment, there is no such inconvenience because the corner of the game area can be visually observed at a position facing the glasses 77 and 78 relatively.
(3) The rear side glass plate 78 is formed so as to protrude slightly to the front position of the pachinko ball launch passage 49. Therefore, although it is a slight gap, the pachinko ball launch passage 49 can be visually observed through the protruding portion, and the interest of the game is increased. Furthermore, even if the pachinko balls are clogged in the pachinko ball launch passage 49, the movement of the pachinko balls in the pachinko ball launch passage 49 can be confirmed. Become.
(4) The bulging part 80 in which the desiccant 86 accommodates accommodation simultaneously constitutes a part of the shielding part 92, so that it is not necessary to separately form a space for accommodating the desiccant 86 in the glass frame 76.

The present invention can be implemented with the following modifications.
In the above embodiment, the storage region S is provided in the recess 84 in the bulging portion 80, and the desiccant 86 is provided here.
However, in the case where the internal space sealed inside by both glass plates 77 and 78 is not provided, the storage area S for the desiccant 86 may not be provided as shown in FIG. . Further, if there is enough space, the desiccant 86 may be disposed by forming a storage region S other than the current bulging portion 80 in the glass frame 76.

As shown in FIG. 28, you may make it affixed the raising tape 121 as a vibrational absorption means just along the shape of the pachinko ball | bowl launching passage 49 just on the back surface of the shielding part 92. As shown in FIG. The raised tape 121 is formed by a known electrostatic flocking process (application of an adhesive to the tape body → electrostatic flocking → removing excess pile → drying). Since the raised tape 121 is very thin, even if it is attached to the back surface of the shielding portion 92, the arrangement space of the shielding portion 92 is not affected. By sticking such a raised tape 121, vibration due to contact or collision of the pachinko ball with the glass frame 76 is alleviated. In addition, noise due to pachinko ball contact and collision will be reduced. In addition to the raised tape 121, the vibration absorbing means may be an elastic vibration-proof rubber tape body.

-The structure of the said glass frame 76 is an example, Comprising: It is not limited to this. For example, in the above embodiment, the glass unit 75 is pivotable with respect to the door frame 61 and can be opened and closed. The method for attaching the glass unit 75 to the door frame 61 is not particularly limited. That is, as described above, it is possible to use other fixing means without using the clamp unit 60 and the clamp lever 58.
