Note that the diameter of the light emitting substrate 98 decreases in the order of the left, center, and right light emitting substrates 98 in accordance with the sizes of the corresponding bowl-shaped installation portions 90 to 92. Three sub LEDs 102 are provided on the left and center light emitting boards 98 and 98, and two on the right light emitting board 98. Each sub LED 102 corresponds to the sub through hole 96 of the bowl-shaped installation portions 90 to 92. ing. Then, as shown in FIG. 8B, the light emitting substrate 98 is placed behind the base body 82 with the main LED 100 facing the main through hole 94 and each sub LED 102 facing the corresponding sub through hole 96. It is screwed to the side. As shown in FIG. 9, a connector 98a is provided on the rear surface of each light-emitting board 98, and the light-emitting board 98 controls the symbol display device and the like through wiring (not shown) connected to the connector 98a. It is electrically connected to control means (not shown) for effect control. Based on a control signal output from the control means, the main LED 100 and the sub LED 102 emit light and irradiate light forward. The light emitted from the main LED 100 passes through the main through hole 94, and the light emitted from the sub LED 102 passes through the sub through hole 96.

[Reflection lenses 84 to 86]
The reflective lenses 84 to 86 are made of a light-transmitting synthetic resin, and transmit and reflect light emitted from the light-emitting portion 87 to emit light. The sizes of the reflection lenses 84 to 86 are set to be smaller in the order of left, center, and right in accordance with the corresponding bowl-shaped installation portions 90 to 92. Since the basic configuration of each of the reflecting lenses 84 to 86 is the same, in the following description, the left reflecting lens 84 will be described, and the center and right reflecting lenses 85 and 86 will be specifically described. Except for the case where it is inserted, the same reference numerals are given and the description thereof is omitted.

  As shown in FIGS. 9 and 10, the reflecting lens 84 includes a lens body 104 formed in a bowl shape, and a condensing unit formed on the top of the outer surface of the lens body 104 (an outer reflecting surface 104 a described later). 106 and a reflecting portion 108 that is recessed at a position (that is, the deepest portion) corresponding to the condensing portion 106 on the inner surface of the lens body 104 (an inner reflecting surface 104b described later). The lens body 104 has a circular opening toward the front (forward in the irradiation direction of the light emitter) and is formed in a convex bowl shape on the rear side. The curved shape of the lens body 104 is the curved shape of the bowl-shaped installation portion 90. Is almost the same. And as shown in FIG. 9, the lens main body 104 is attached in the state fitted to the said hook-shaped installation part 90. As shown in FIG. When attached to the bowl-shaped installation part 90, the top side of the lens body 104 (that is, the light condensing part 106) is fitted in the main through hole 94 to face the main LED 100, and the annular protrusion 97 is a lens. The main body 104 is configured to abut. The lens body 104 has an outer reflective surface 104 a that is an outer surface on the side close to the light emitting unit 87 and an inner reflective surface 104 b that is an inner surface on the side separated from the light emitting unit 87 except for the top of the lens body 104. It has the required wall thickness by being separated by a distance. In the following description, the wall portion constituting the lens body 104 is referred to as a light transmission wall 104c. As shown in FIG. 10, the opening edge portion 104d of the lens body 104 is subjected to a light diffusion process by forming a large number of protrusions. As described later, the opening edge portion 104d is transmitted through the light transmission wall 104c. The light arriving at the portion 104d is diffused and brightened at the opening edge portion 104d.

  As shown in FIG. 8A, the lens main body 104 is formed with three diffusion protrusions 112 formed to protrude forward from the inner reflection surface 104b (two for the right reflection lens 86). ing. The diffusion protrusion 112 is configured to be positioned in front of the sub LED 102 facing the sub through hole 96 in a state where the lens body 104 is installed in the bowl-shaped installation unit 90. As shown in FIG. 9, the light of the sub LED 102 that has passed through the sub through hole 96 passes through the light transmission wall 104 c of the lens body 104 and arrives at the diffusion protrusion 112. The diffusion protrusion 112 is formed to extend in the radial direction of the lens body 104 with a predetermined length. Further, the front end surface of the diffusion protrusion 112 is formed so as to be inclined forward as it goes outward in the radial direction of the lens body 104. That is, the diffusion protrusion 112 is formed in a protrusion shape extending radially from the center of the reflection lens 84. Further, a light diffusing portion 112 a is formed on the front end surface of the diffusing protrusion 112, and the entire light diffusing portion 112 a emits light by the light transmitted through the diffusing protrusion 112. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 10, the light diffusing portion 112a is composed of a plurality of groove portions 112b formed so as to be arranged in the radial direction of the lens body 104, and light diffusion is performed by the plurality of groove portions 112b. The light arriving at the portion 112 a is diffused in the radial direction of the lens body 104.

  As shown in FIG. 10, the condensing unit 106 bulges from the top of the outer reflecting surface 104 a of the lens main body 104 to the rear in a hemispherical shape (circular cross section), and collects the light emitted from the main LED 100. It functions as a condensing lens that emits light. The condensing unit 106 faces the main through hole 94 and faces the front side of the main LED 100 in a state where the reflection lens 84 is installed in the bowl-shaped installation unit 90. The condensing unit 106 is formed in a size that can cover the light irradiation range of the main LED 100, and the light emitted from the main LED 100 reaches the condensing unit 106 (or the diffusion recess 110). It has become. And the condensing part 106 condenses the light irradiated from main LED100 ahead, and the front side (namely, center side of the reflective lens 84) of this condensing part 106 comes to be brightly brightly (FIG. 10 rays L1). The light beams L1 to L4 conceptually show the manner of transmission and reflection of the light emitted from the main LED 100.

  The reflection lens 84 includes a diffusion recess 110 that is recessed in the condensing unit 106. The diffusion recess 110 is recessed at the top of the condensing unit 106 that is closest to the main LED 100. The diffusion recess 110 is formed in a hemispherical shape (circular arc) that opens to the rear, and functions as a diffusion lens that diffuses part of the light emitted from the main LED 100. That is, not all the light emitted from the main LED 100 is collected by the light collecting unit 106, but a part of the light is diffused by the diffusion recess 110, thereby preventing the central side of the reflection lens 84 from being extremely intensely bright. (Refer to the light ray L2 in FIG. 10).

  The reflection part 108 is formed by drilling the deepest part of the inner reflection part 108 toward the diffusion recess 110. The reflecting portion 108 is formed so as to taper from the front side toward the rear side, and the cross-sectional shape of the reflecting portion 108 is a shape in which two circular arc shapes protruding obliquely forward are arranged in a symmetrical relationship. . The reflection unit 108 reflects a part of the light of the main LED 100 collected by the light collection unit 106 toward the outer reflection surface 104a (that is, obliquely rearward). That is, by reflecting the light toward the outer reflecting surface 104a by the reflecting portion 108, a part of the light arriving at the outer reflecting surface 104a is further reflected toward the inner reflecting surface 104b. Then, a part of the light arriving at the inner reflection surface 104b is transmitted through the inner reflection surface 104b and irradiated to the front side of the lens body 104 (see the light beam L3 in FIG. 10). Further, a part of the light that has arrived at the inner reflection surface 104b is reflected again by the inner reflection surface 104b and is irradiated toward the outer reflection surface 104a (see the light beam L4 in FIG. 10). That is, the light reflected by the reflecting portion 108 travels from the reflecting portion 108 side toward the opening edge portion 104d side of the lens body 104 through the light transmitting wall 104c while being reflected by the outer reflecting surface 104a and the inner reflecting surface 104b. At the same time, every time light reaches the inner reflection surface 104b, a part of the light is transmitted through the inner reflection surface 104b. As a result, the entire lens body 104 emits light. Further, the light that travels through the light transmitting wall 104c and arrives at the opening edge 104d of the lens body 104 is diffused by the opening edge 104d so that the opening edge 104d is bright. On the other hand, the light that has arrived at the outer reflection surface 104a and transmitted through the outer reflection surface 104a is between the outer reflection surface 104a and the light reflection portion 93 of the bowl-shaped installation portion 90, as shown in an enlarged view in FIG. The light travels through the gap S and is reflected by the reflecting portion 93 toward the lens body 104 (see the light beam L5).

[About the handle unit 22]
As shown in FIG. 11, the handle unit 22 includes a main body 114 that is detachably attached to the cylindrical body 80, and an operation portion 32 is rotatably arranged. As shown in FIG. 6, the main body 114 includes a cylindrical body 116 that is formed in a cylindrical shape that opens rearward, a grip 115 that faces the front side of the pachinko machine 10 and is gripped by a player, and the cylindrical body 116. A rear wall (rear part) 120 that closes the rear opening of the main body 114 and a storage part 114 a are defined inside the main body 114. The storage unit 114a stores an electrical component P such as a variable resistor that outputs an electrical signal corresponding to the amount of rotation of the operation unit 32 (that is, the firing intensity of the pachinko ball). A plurality of wirings X are led out from the electrical component P, and ends of the plurality of wirings X are connected by a connector part 124. As shown in FIG. 6, the cylindrical body 116 is formed in a shape and size that can be inserted into the fitting hole 80 a of the cylindrical body 80. A fixing hole 116a that is aligned with the screw hole 80b of the cylindrical body 80 is formed in the lower portion of the cylindrical body 116, and the cylindrical body 116 is cylindrical by screwing the screw 126 into the screw hole 80b and the fixing hole 116a. Screwed to the body 80. A plurality of fixing bosses 116b (three in the embodiment, only one is shown in FIG. 6) are formed in the cylindrical body 116 so as to extend rearward from the front side of the cylindrical body 116. The grip portion 115 basically includes an expanded portion 118 integrally formed so as to expand forward and radially from the front side of the cylindrical body 116, and a decorative body 122 disposed on the front side of the expanded portion 118. It is configured. The decorative body 122 is a design surface of the handle unit 22 with a predetermined decoration on the front surface, and the operation portion 32 is disposed between the decorative body 122 and the expanding portion 118. Yes.

  As shown in FIGS. 12A and 12B, the rear wall 120 is a substantially disk-shaped member that is substantially aligned with the rear opening of the cylindrical body 116, and has a peripheral edge of the rear wall 120. A plurality (three in the embodiment) of screw holes 120a opened in the front-rear direction are formed corresponding to the fixed bosses 116b of the cylindrical body 116. Then, a screw (not shown) is screwed into the fixed boss 116 b through the screw hole 120 a of the rear wall portion 120, so that the rear wall portion 120 is screwed to the cylindrical body 116. The rear wall 120 is formed with an engagement protrusion 128 that protrudes rearward. The engaging protrusion 128 includes a plate-like portion 128a extending in the front-rear direction and a claw portion (projection) 128b provided on the upper surface (one surface) of the plate-like portion 128a. As shown in FIG. 6, the engagement protrusion 128 is inserted from the front side into the through hole 54 of the closing plate 50 in a state where the cylindrical body 116 is fitted in the fitting hole 80 a of the cylindrical body 80. Thus, it protrudes into the substrate housing space 48a. The claw portion 128b is formed with a guide surface 128c inclined upward from the rear to the front. When the guide surface 128 c is inserted into the through hole portion 54, the guide surface 128 c comes into contact with the engaging portion 58 b of the swinging member 58 facing the through hole portion 54 to push up the engaging portion 58 b. (Refer to the two-dot chain line in FIG. 6). When the guide surface 128c of the claw portion 128b is positioned behind the engaging portion 58b (when passing through the engaging portion 58b), the swinging member 58 swings due to its own weight, and the engaging portion 58b is lowered. The claw portion 128b is engaged.

  As shown in FIG. 12 (a), the rear wall 120 has a wiring through-hole 120b that opens in the front-rear direction below the engagement protrusion 128 (on the side opposite to the side where the claw 128b is formed). Is formed. Further, the rear wall portion 120 has a horizontal communication hole 120c that is cut out in the left-right direction from the left edge portion (the right edge portion in FIG. 12A) of the wiring through hole 120b to the peripheral edge portion of the rear wall portion 120. Is formed. Furthermore, a wiring hook 120d is provided on the front surface of the rear wall portion 120 (inside the storage portion 114a) so as to be positioned on the right side of the wiring through hole 120b (see FIG. 12B). The wiring X of the electrical component P is drawn from the storage portion 114a through the wiring through hole 120b while being held by the wiring hook 120d.

  A wiring holding part 130 extending rearward from the wiring through hole 120b is integrally formed on the rear wall part 120 below the engagement protruding part 128 (on the other surface side of the plate-like part 128a). Has been. In FIG. 12A, the wiring holding portion 130 includes a vertical wall portion 130a extending rearward from the left edge portion of the wiring through hole 120b and a horizontal wall extending rearward from the lower edge portion of the wiring through hole 120b. A holding space 130c that is formed from the portion 130b and that opens toward the rear and the left (right in FIGS. 12A and 12B) is defined. The wiring holding unit 130 is configured to hold the wiring X of the electrical component P drawn from the wiring through hole 120b in the holding space 130c and to guide the wiring X rearward along the engagement protrusion 128. Is done. That is, the wiring X of the electrical component P is inserted through the through-hole portion 54 while being held by the wiring holding portion 130, and is routed into the board housing space 48a. The connector portion 124 of the wiring X of the electrical component P is connected to the connector receiving portion 52a of the relay board 52 (see FIG. 6). That is, the handle unit 22 is electrically connected to the main control device via the relay board 52, and is configured such that an electric signal output from the electric component P is input to the main control device.

(Effects of Example)
Next, the operation of the pachinko machine 10 according to the embodiment will be described.

[When the handle unit 22 is assembled]
When the handle unit 22 is assembled to the ball tray member 20, first, as shown in FIG. 2, the front frame 18 is opened with respect to the middle frame 16. Then, the knob portion 68 of the opening / closing lid 66 is elastically deformed, the knob portion 68 is detached from the locking hole 46a, and the opening / closing lid 66 is rotated. As a result, the installation opening 44 is opened, and the substrate housing space 48a faces the rear of the front frame 18 (see FIG. 13A). Regarding the handle unit 22, the wiring X of the electrical component P drawn from the storage portion 114 a is locked to the wiring hook 120 d in a state where the rear wall portion 120 is removed from the cylindrical body 80. Next, the wiring X locked to the wiring hook 120d is caused to face the wiring through hole 120b and the holding space 130c of the wiring holding unit 130 through the lateral communication hole 120c. Thus, since the wiring X of the electrical component P can be inserted into the wiring through hole 120b through the lateral communication hole 120c, the wiring X can be held in the wiring holding portion 130 in a state of being easily inserted into the wiring through hole 120b. Can do. Then, by screwing the rear wall portion 120 to the cylindrical body 80, the wiring X of the electrical component P is held by the wiring holding portion 130 below the engaging protrusion 128, and the holding space 130c is guided backward. (See FIG. 6).

  Next, the connector portion 124 of the wiring X is inserted into the through hole portion 54 of the closing plate 50 with the main body portion 114 of the handle unit 22 facing the fitting hole 80a of the cylindrical body 80 from the front side. At this time, since the wiring X of the electrical component P is guided and held rearward by the wiring holding part 130, the wiring X is unlikely to hang down from the rear part of the main body part 114. Therefore, when the main body 114 of the handle unit 22 is inserted into the fitting hole 80a, the wiring X can be suppressed from being bitten between the main body 114 and the fitting hole 80a. In addition, since the wiring X is held by the wiring holding unit 130, the handling of the wiring X is facilitated, so that the connector part 124 of the wiring X can be easily inserted into the through hole 54.

  Next, the engagement protrusion 128 is inserted into the substrate housing space 48 a through the through hole 54. Here, the swinging member 58 is in a state where the lower surface of the plate-like main body 58a abuts against the regulating piece 60 and the engaging portion 58b faces the upper edge portion of the through hole portion 54 (see FIG. 6). Accordingly, when the engagement protrusion 128 is inserted into the through hole 54, the claw 128b abuts on the engagement 58b of the swinging member 58 and pushes up the engagement 58b by the guide surface 128c of the claw 128b. . That is, since the engaging portion 58b moves upward simply by inserting the engaging protruding portion 128, the operator does not need to insert the engaging protruding portion 128 with the engaging portion 58b lifted upward. Work becomes easy. When the guide surface 128c is positioned behind the engaging portion 58b, the swinging member 58 swings by its own weight, and the engaging portion 58b engages with the claw portion 128b (see FIG. 13B). Thus, since the engaging part 58b automatically engages with the claw part 128b by its own weight, it is possible to reduce the burden on the operator. Moreover, since the wiring holding part 130 holds the wiring X of the electrical component P on the opposite side (lower side) of the engaging protrusion 128 to the claw part 128b, the wiring X is less likely to interfere with the engaging part 58b. It is possible to prevent the wire X from being caught by the engaging portion 58b and the wire X from being caught between the claw portion 128b and the engaging portion 58b.

  When the engaging portion 58b is engaged with the claw portion 128b, the main body portion 114 of the handle unit 22 is temporarily fixed to the middle frame 16 (the closing plate 50). In this state, the screw 126 is screwed into the screw hole 80 b provided in the cylindrical body 80 and the fixing hole 116 a of the main body 114, and the handle unit 22 is attached to the ball dish member 20. As described above, since the screwing operation can be performed in the state where the main body 114 of the handle unit 22 is temporarily fixed, the relative positional relationship between the main body 114 and the cylindrical body 80 is difficult to be displaced, which is efficient. It can be screwed. And after connecting the connector part 124 of the wiring X facing the board | substrate accommodation space 48a to the connector receiving part 52a of the relay board | substrate 52, the said opening-and-closing cover 66 is rotated and the installation opening part 44 is closed. Thus, since the installation opening 44 is closed by the opening / closing lid 66, an act of inserting an unauthorized instrument into the substrate housing space 48a through the installation opening 44 can be prevented. In addition, as shown in FIG. 5, a metal tamper-proof plate 70 is disposed on the front side of the opening / closing lid 66, so that the opening / closing lid 66 is temporarily broken or a hole is formed in the opening / closing lid 66. Even so, it is difficult to insert the unauthorized device into the board housing space 48a.

[When removing the handle unit 22]
When the handle unit 22 is detached from the ball tray member 20, first, the front frame 18 is opened with respect to the middle frame 16. Here, when opening the front frame 18, an operator may turn the front frame 18 by pulling the handle unit 22 forward. At this time, the load when opening the front frame 18 acts on the fixing portion of the handle unit 22 (that is, the fastening portion of the screw 126). However, in the embodiment, since the engaging protrusion 128 of the handle unit 22 engages with the engaging portion 58b, the load when opening the front frame 18 is concentrated only on the fixing portion of the handle unit 22. Is prevented. In other words, the load when opening the front frame 18 acts in a distributed manner on the fixed portion of the handle unit 22 and the engaging portion between the engaging protrusion 128 and the engaging portion 58b. In addition, the screw hole 80b of the cylindrical body 80 can be prevented from being damaged.

  Next, the screw 126 is removed to release the fastening between the handle unit 22 and the cylindrical body 80, and the opening / closing lid 66 is rotated to open the installation opening 44. Further, the connector portion 124 of the wiring X is removed from the connector receiving portion 52a of the relay board 52. Then, as shown in FIG. 13 (a), the swinging member 58 is rotated to lift the engaging portion 58b upward, and the engagement between the engaging portion 58b and the claw portion 128b is released. The unit 22 is pulled out from the fitting hole 80a. At this time, since the wiring X of the electrical component P is held by the engagement protrusion 128, the wiring X can be easily pulled out from the through hole 54 or the fitting hole 80a, and the working efficiency can be improved. Further, since the engagement of the engagement portion 58b and the claw portion 128b can be easily released simply by lifting the engagement portion 58b, the handle unit 22 can be easily detached from the ball tray member 20. In addition, the engagement portion 58b is lifted in this way so that the engagement state between the engagement portion 58b and the claw portion 128b is released, so that when the handle unit 22 is removed from the ball tray member 20, the claw Since it is not necessary to forcibly bend the part 128b, it leads to the damage prevention of the nail | claw part 128b.

[About lighting effects]
Next, a light emission effect by the light emitting devices 74 and 75 will be described. When the pachinko machine 10 reaches a predetermined game condition, the control means outputs a control signal to the light emitting device 74, and turns on the main LED 100 and the sub LED 102 of each of the light emitting units 87 to 89. As shown in FIG. 10, when the main LED 100 is turned on, the light is irradiated forward and arrives at the light collecting unit 106 and the diffusion recess 110. That is, all the light emitted from the main LED 100 arrives at the light converging unit 106 or the diffusion recess 110. The light arriving at the condensing unit 106 is condensed toward the front side of the lens main body 104 by the condensing unit 106 as shown by a light beam L1 in FIG. As a result, the reflection lens 84 is bright and bright at the center when viewed from the front, and can produce a light emitting effect with impact. On the other hand, the light of the main LED 100 arriving at the diffusion recess 110 is diffused toward the front side of the lens body 104 by the diffusion recess 110 as shown by the light beam L2 in FIG. In this way, not all of the light emitted from the main LED 100 is collected by the light condensing unit 106, but a part of the light is diffused by the diffusion recess 110, so that the central side of the reflection lens 84 is brightened extremely strongly. It is preventing. Thereby, it can prevent a player feeling the light of the reflective lens 84 dazzling, and can concentrate on a game.

  Further, a part of the light condensed by the light converging part 106 arrives at the reflecting part 108 located in front of the light converging part 106 (diffuse recess 110), and is reflected on the outer reflecting surface 104a by the reflecting part 108. Reflected towards. The light that has arrived at the outer reflective surface 104a is reflected again by the outer reflective surface 104a and travels toward the inner reflective surface 104b. 10, a part of the light that has arrived at the inner reflection surface 104b is transmitted through the inner reflection surface 104b and irradiated to the front side of the lens body 104. On the other hand, part of the light that has arrived at the inner reflective surface 104b is reflected again by the inner reflective surface 104b and travels toward the outer reflective surface 104a. That is, as shown by a light beam L4 in FIG. 10, the light reflected by the reflecting portion 108 is reflected by the outer reflecting surface 104a and the inner reflecting surface 104b while passing through the light transmitting wall 104c from the reflecting portion 108 side to the lens body 104. It progresses toward the opening edge 104d side. Then, every time the light traveling through the light transmission wall 104c reaches the inner reflection surface 104b, the light passes through the inner reflection surface 104b, so that the lens body 104 emits light as a whole. In other words, the reflecting lens 84 is bright and bright on the center side when viewed from the front by the light converging unit 106, and substantially the entire lens body 104 emits light, so that it is possible to perform a light emitting effect with a high effect.

  Further, when the light traveling through the light transmitting wall 104c arrives at the opening edge 104d of the lens body 104, the light is diffused at the opening edge 104d. Thereby, the opening edge portion 104d of the lens body 104 becomes bright, and the reflection lens 84 emits light in a circular shape when viewed from the front, so that it is possible to further enhance the effect of the light emission effect. Furthermore, as shown by the light beam L5 in FIG. 10, the light that has arrived at the outer reflection surface 104a and transmitted through the outer reflection surface 104a is reflected by the light reflection portion 93 of the bowl-shaped installation portion 90 toward the lens body 104. . That is, since the light leaked to the bowl-shaped installation part 90 side is reflected forward by the light reflecting part 93 of the bowl-shaped installation part 90, the brightness of the reflection lens 84 can be ensured. Here, as shown in FIG. 10, the lens body 104 is slightly separated from the bowl-shaped installation portion 90, and a gap S is defined between the outer reflection surface 104 a and the light reflection portion 93. For this reason, the light reflected by the outer reflecting surface 104a inside the light transmitting wall 104c (see the light beam L4) and the light reflected by the light reflecting portion 93 of the bowl-shaped installation portion 90 and then returned into the light transmitting wall 104c. It will progress with a gap. As a result, the light reflected by the outer reflecting surface 104a and the light returning into the light transmitting wall 104c are transmitted through different positions on the inner reflecting surface 104b and irradiated to the front of the lens body 104. It becomes possible to emit light without unevenness as a whole.

  On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 9, the light emitted from the sub LED 102 passes through the sub through hole 96 and passes through the light transmitting wall 104 c of the lens body 104. Further, the light of the sub LED 102 travels inside the diffusion protrusion 112 and arrives at the light diffusion portion 112a, and the light is diffused by the light diffusion portion 112a.
