<Hinge receiving member 1701 in which shaft member 2101 is easily attached and detached>
11A and 11B show the hinge receiving member 1701 according to the first embodiment. FIG. 11A is a plan view, FIG. 11B is a side view, and FIG. FIGS. 12A and 12B are enlarged perspective views showing a stopper 1706 in the hinge receiving member 1701, in which FIG. 12A shows a state in which the stopper part 1708 is placed in the front, and FIG. 12B shows a state in which the stopper part 1708 is placed in the rear. It is. 13A and 13B are plan views showing an operation state in which the shaft member 2101 is attached to the hinge receiving member 1701. FIG. 13A is a state in which the shaft member is brought close to the hinge receiving member, and FIG. 13B is a shaft member from the opening of the hinge receiving member. (C) is a state in which the shaft member has entered the bearing portion.
The hinge receiving member 1701 according to the first embodiment is a member constituting the upper support fitting 17 at the upper left portion of the outer frame 11. As shown in the enlarged plan view of FIG. 11, the hinge receiving member 1701 is movable in the surface direction within the main body 1702, for example, a main body 1702 obtained by bending a substantially rectangular plate made of metal downward. And a retaining member 1706 for retaining the shaft member 2101 provided on the gaming machine main part 21 side.

  The hinge receiving member 1701 is provided continuously to a connector 1201 that connects the upper plate member 14 constituting the outer frame 11 and the left and right plate members or the metal frame 12. In the illustrated example, the hinge receiving member 1701 and the connector 1201 are integrally configured. The hinge receiving member 1701 supports the gaming machine main part 21 having a weight of about 10 kg to 15 kg, and is frequently opened and closed, and is a place where a large load is applied. Therefore, a strong structure is desirable. Of course, the hinge receiving member 1701 and the outer frame 11 may be connected to each other. Further, the material of the hinge receiving member 1701 is mainly metal, but synthetic resin can be used as long as it has high rigidity and durability.

  As shown in the plan view of FIG. 11A, the hinge receiving member 1701 is provided with a guide path 1703 that is notched so that a shaft member 2101 provided on the gaming machine main part 21 side can be hooked. . The guide path 1703 has a shape in which the shaft member 2101 moves at an angle of about 90 degrees from the opening 1704 to the innermost bearing portion 1705. This is because the shaft member 2101 cannot be inadvertently detached from the hinge receiving member 1701 at the angle of the guide path 1703. The shaft member 2101 is stopped at the position of the bearing portion 1705 and is rotatably latched.

  In the opening 1704 of the hinge receiving member 1701 according to the first embodiment, as shown in the plan view of FIG. 11A, the front side (lower side in the drawing surface) of the hinge receiving member 1701 is the back side of the opening 1704 (illustrated). It is in a state of being retracted to the left side from the upper side in the plane, forming a step (L1). When the gaming machine main part 21 is attached to the outer frame 11, the level difference (L 1) simply presses the shaft member 2101 of the gaming machine main part 21 so as to contact the hinge receiving member 1701, and the opening 1704 of the hinge receiving member 1701. This is so that the position of the can be easily found.

  As shown in the perspective view of FIG. 12, the hinge receiving member 1701 is provided with a stopper 1706 that prevents the shaft member 2101 from coming off when the shaft member 2101 is hooked. The retainer 1706 is a member in which one end of the hinge receiving member 1701 is pivotally supported by a pivotal support portion 1707 in the main body 1702 and a retaining portion 1708 is formed at the other end. The retaining portion 1708 allows the shaft member 2101 to pass between the opening portion 1704 of the guide path 1703 and the bearing portion 1705, and functions as a retaining member after the passage.

  The retaining member 1706 is provided with a pressing leaf spring portion 1709 that returns the retaining portion 1708 to its original position. The front end of the pressing leaf spring portion 1709 comes into contact with the wall surface of the main body 1702 bent downward. In addition, the pivot support 1707 has an over-rotation that prevents the over-rotation so that the stopper 1708 does not jump out of the opening 1704 and stays at a predetermined position by the elastic force of the pressing leaf spring 1709 at the other end. The prevention part 1710 is provided in a protruding manner.

  In the retaining tool 1706, the shaft support portion 1707 and the retaining portion 1708 are connected by a connecting plate spring 1711. This is because, when the shaft support portion 1707 and the retaining portion 1708 are made of the same member, the shaft member 2101 moves from the guide path 1703 of the hinge receiving member 1701 when the gaming machine main portion 21 is attached to the outer frame 11. The stopper 1706 may accidentally hit the top surface from above. At this time, the retainer 1706 may be broken or the shaft support 1707 may be damaged. Therefore, even if the shaft member 2101 accidentally hits from the upper surface of the retaining portion 1708 of the retaining member 1706, the connecting plate spring 1711 is bent to break the retaining member 1706 or damage the shaft supporting portion 1707. There is nothing. Further, the connecting plate spring 1711 has an action of relaxing the pressing load from the shaft member 2101 when the shaft member 2101 passes through the guide path 1703 of the hinge receiving member 1701.

  In addition, if it is a member with a repulsive effect, it may replace with the connection leaf | plate spring 1711, and a coil spring other elastic member may be sufficient. However, since the retaining portion 1708 has a first function of preventing the shaft member 2101 from being detached, the shaft member 2101 is illustrated on the retaining portion 1708 side (FIG. 11A). Rigidity that is not easily bent by a load applied upward on the surface is necessary.

FIG. 14 is an enlarged plan view showing the positional relationship between the retaining portion 1708 of the retaining member 1706 and the bearing portion 1705.
A retaining portion 1708 of the retaining member 1706 is a member that prevents the shaft member 2101 from being detached from the position of the bearing portion 1705. On the illustrated surface, the retainer 1706 is configured so as to contact the left side of the illustrated surface with respect to a virtual straight line VL connecting the center point of the shaft support 1707 to the retainer 1708. At this position, when a load is applied so that the shaft member 2101 presses the retaining portion 1708, the retaining portion 1708 operates to rotate rightward on the illustrated surface. However, the retainer 1706 is prevented from further rotation at the overrotation preventing portion 1710. Thus, when a load is applied to the shaft member 2101 on the back side (upper side in the drawing), the shaft member 2101 does not inadvertently come off from the hinge receiving member 1701.

<Operational state of attaching shaft member 2101 to hinge receiving member 1701>
FIG. 15 is a perspective view showing an operation state in which the gaming machine main part 21 is attached to the outer frame 11, and FIG. 15A shows the position of the hinge receiving member 1701 on the hinge receiving member 1701 in a positional relationship with the gaming machine main part opened with respect to the outer frame. A state in which the member 2101 is brought closer, (b) is a state in which the shaft member is attached to the hinge receiving member, and (c) is a state in which the main part of the gaming machine is closed to the outer frame. FIG. 16 is a partially omitted front view showing an operation state in which the gaming machine main part 21 is attached to the outer frame 11, and FIG. 16 (a) shows a hinge receiver in a positional relationship in a state in which the gaming machine main part is opened with respect to the outer frame. A state in which the shaft member 2101 is brought close to the member 1701, (b) a state in which the shaft member of the outer frame is inserted into a lower bearing hole of the main part of the gaming machine, and (c) a state in which the shaft member is attached to the hinge receiving member, (D) is a state where the shaft member is attached to the hinge receiving member, and the shaft member is completely attached to the upper hinge receiving member and the lower bearing hole, and (e) is a state where the main part of the gaming machine is closed to the outer frame. It is.
When the gaming machine main part 21 is attached to the outer frame 11, a hinge structure on the lower side of the gaming machine main part 21 is configured as shown in FIGS. 15 (a), 16 (a) and 16 (b). The shaft member 1101 of the outer frame 11 is inserted into the bearing hole 2103. At this time, after the lower hinge structure is inserted, the upper side of the gaming machine main portion 21 is moved by being slightly tilted in the horizontal direction and attached (see FIG. 16B).

Next, as shown in FIGS. 15 (b), 16 (c), and (d), the shaft member 2101 of the gaming machine main portion 21 is attached to the hinge receiving member 1701 of the outer frame 11. At this time , as shown in FIG. 11A , the step (L1) in a state in which the front side (lower side in the drawing surface ) of the hinge receiving member 1701 is retracted to the left side from the back side (upper side in the drawing surface) of the opening 1704. ) Is formed. When the gaming machine main part 21 is attached to the outer frame 11, the position of the opening part 1704 of the hinge receiving member 1701 can be easily adjusted by simply pressing the shaft member 2101 of the gaming machine main part 21 against the hinge receiving member 1701. I can search. The shaft member 2101 can be quickly attached to the hinge receiving member 1701 by pushing it to the left as it is.

  Alternatively, the shaft member 2101 is moved to the opening 1704 while being guided from the rounded corner of the main body 1702 of the hinge receiving member 1701 along the wall surface of the retracted main body 1702. At the position of the opening 1704, the shaft member 2101 of the main part of the gaming machine 21 is moved to the left so that the shaft member 2101 passes through the retainer 1706 and cannot be removed. Thus, according to the present invention, when the gaming machine main part 21 is pushed into the outer frame 11 and the shaft member 2101 enters the opening 1704, the assembly is easily completed by the operation of pulling it back.

  In the case of the gaming machine 10 having a conventional structure, the gaming machine main part 21 is lifted so that the shaft member 1101 cannot be removed from the lower bearing hole 2103, and the gaming machine main part 21 is inserted into the bearing hole 2103 on the upper side of the outer frame 11. The shaft member 2101 was inserted. If the gaming machine main part 21 is lifted too high at this time, the lower shaft member 1101 is detached from the lower bearing hole 2103, and the process has been started from the beginning. On the contrary, if the height to be lifted is low, there is a difficulty that the shaft member 2101 cannot be inserted into the bearing hole on the upper side of the outer frame 11. In the present invention, such a problem is solved.

Finally, as shown in FIGS. 15 (c) and 16 (e), the gaming machine main part 21 is closed to the outer frame 11 and the attachment is completed. Then lock.
Thus, in the present invention of Example 1, when attaching the gaming machine main part 21 to the outer frame 11, the lower shaft member 1101 is inserted downward into the lower bearing hole 2103 of the gaming machine main part 21. Then, the shaft member 2101 of the gaming machine main part 21 can be easily attached to the hinge receiving member 1701 of the outer frame 11 by moving the upper side of the gaming machine main part 21 in the lateral direction. Can be installed quickly.

On the other hand, when the gaming machine main part 21 is removed from the outer frame 11, as in the case of the gaming machine 10 having the conventional structure, from the states of FIGS. 15 (c), 16 (d), and (e), When the upper shaft member 2101 rotatably attached to the hinge receiving member 1701 is lifted upward, the lower side of the gaming machine main part 21 is released from the outer frame 11. At the same time, the shaft member 2101 of the gaming machine main part 21 can also be removed from the hinge receiving member 1701, and the gaming machine main part 21 can be quickly removed.

  In the above-described example, the embodiment in which the hinge receiving member 1701 of the present invention is provided on the upper side of the outer frame 11 is described. However, it is also possible to provide the hinge receiving member 1701 in the opposite configuration, that is, below the outer frame 11 (not shown). By providing the hinge receiving member 1701 on the lower side of the outer frame 11, it becomes easy to align the lower shaft member 1101, and the gaming machine main part 21 can be quickly assembled to the outer frame 11.

<Modification 1 of hinge receiving member 1701>
FIG. 17 shows a first modification of the hinge receiving member 1701 of the first embodiment, where (a) is a side sectional view, (b) is a plan view, and (c) is a side view.
In the retaining member 1706 of the hinge receiving member 1701 of the first embodiment, the shaft support portion 1707 and the retaining portion 1708 are connected by a connecting plate spring 1711. This is to prevent breakage of the retaining portion 1708 or damage to the shaft supporting portion 1707 when the shaft member 2101 hits the upper surface of the retaining member 1706 by mistake from above. Therefore, in the first modification, the retaining portion 1708 and the shaft supporting portion 1707 are formed of the same member. However, the shaft supporting portion 1707 rotates around the periphery and also has a retaining portion in the axial direction of the rotating shaft. The shaft support 1707 moves together with 1708. In the illustrated example, the rotation shaft is longer than that shown in FIG. 11, a flange 1712 is provided at the tip (lower end), and the retaining portion 1708 and the shaft support portion 1707 are always pushed up into the main body 1702 by the coil spring 1713. It has become.

  In the first modification of the hinge receiving member 1701, even if the shaft member 2101 accidentally hits from the upper surface of the retaining portion 1708 of the retaining member 1706, the shaft supporting portion 1707 can move in the axial direction. An unreasonable load is not applied to the shaft support 1707. Therefore, breakage of the retaining portion 1708 or damage to the shaft support portion 1707 can be prevented. Note that the moving distance of the shaft support portion 1707 is set to such a short distance that the pressing leaf spring portion 1709 and the over-rotation preventing portion 1710 are not detached from the inner wall surface of the main body 1702.

  Even the retainer 1706 of Modification 1 needs to fulfill its original function as a retainer for the shaft member 2101 in the hinge receiving member 1701. Therefore, the coil spring 1713 is firmly pushed up from below so that the entire retaining member 1706 is not easily detached from the main body 1702.

<Modification 2 of hinge receiving member 1701>
18A and 18B show a second modification of the hinge receiving member according to the first embodiment, where FIG. 18A is a side sectional view, FIG. 18B is a side view, and FIG. 18C is a partially enlarged view.
Further, as a modified example 2 of the retainer 1706, the retainer 1708 and the shaft support 1707 are made of the same member, and the structure of the shaft support 1707 swings in an inverted conical shape along with the horizontal rotation. By making it possible, breakage of the retaining portion 1708 due to the shaft member 2101 or breakage of the shaft support portion 1707 can be prevented. For example, as shown in FIG. 18 (c), the shape of the shaft hole of the stopper 1706 missing in the shaft support 1707, rather than simply cylindrical shape, the longitudinal section like a donut holes of facing semi-circular To. With such a shaft hole shape, the shaft hole can be swung in an inverted conical shape. A flange 1712 is provided at the tip (lower end) of the rotating shaft , and the retaining portion 1708 and the shaft supporting portion 1707 are always pushed up into the main body 1702 by the coil spring 1713.

  Even in the hinge receiving member 1701 of this modified example 2, even if the shaft member 2101 accidentally hits from the upper surface of the retaining portion 1708 of the retaining member 1706, the shaft supporting portion 1707 is swung in the shaft portion, so that the retaining portion An excessive load is not applied to 1708 or the shaft support 1707, and breakage of the retaining portion 1708 or damage to the shaft support 1707 can be prevented.

In addition, it is not limited to the description content of embodiment mentioned above, For example, you may implement as follows.
(1) In the above embodiment, the path length from the switching piece to the rotating body of the payout device 135 is set in the vertical passage unit 134 so that the number of remaining game balls is 29, but the number of remaining game balls is 29. The number is not limited to a specific number, and the specific number is arbitrary as long as it does not match any integer multiple of the number of unit game balls. For example, in the setting of the number of unit game balls in the above embodiment, the number of remaining game balls may be 17, 19, 23, or the like.

  (2) The setting of the number of unit game balls for the winning holes 62 to 65 is not limited to that of the above embodiment, and is arbitrary. However, when the setting of the number of unit game balls is changed, it is necessary to change the number of remaining game balls so as not to match any integral multiple of the number of unit game balls. Incidentally, the number of unit game balls for the variable winning device 63 may be 14 instead of 15. Even in this configuration, by setting the number of remaining game balls to 29, it is possible to obtain the same effect as in the above embodiment.

  (3) In the above embodiment, the number of types of winning holes having different unit game balls is four, but this is not limited to this, and there are one type, two types, three types, or five or more types. Also good. Even in this case, the same effect as the above embodiment can be obtained by making the remaining number of game balls not coincide with any integer multiple of the number of unit game balls.

  (4) Although the present invention is applied to the pachinko machine 10 provided with the symbol display device 71 in the above embodiment, the present invention may be applied to other types of pachinko machines. For example, a pachinko machine equipped with a prize winning device provided with a game ball rolling part or an advantageous opening, a pachinko machine equipped with other bonuses, an arrangement ball machine, a sparrow ball, etc. The invention can be applied. In addition, the present invention can be applied to a pachinko machine provided with a single saucer instead of being provided with the upper saucer 95a and the lower saucer 96a.

Hereinafter, the features of the invention group extracted from the above-described embodiment will be described while showing effects and the like as necessary.
Game machine A
A gaming machine, for example, a pachinko machine, includes an outer frame partly made of wood so that nails are driven when the game machine is attached to a game hall. When replacing a pachinko machine, the outer frame is fitted into each mounting frame that forms the pachinko island of the game hall. Then, several nails are driven into the upper frame plate upward from the inner surface of the upper part of the outer frame relative to the mounting frame, and several nails are similarly driven downward from the inner surface of the lower part of the outer frame into the lower frame plate. Then, fix the outer frame to the mounting frame of Pachinko Island. After that, when the gaming machine main part that is the main body portion of the gaming machine is attached to the outer frame, the gaming machine main part is attached in a state that can be opened and closed forward with respect to the outer frame.

For example, Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2000-153045 of Patent Document 2 proposes an “outer frame of a pachinko machine”. When attaching the main part of the gaming machine to the outer frame, the shaft member of the outer frame is inserted into the bearing hole constituting the lower hinge structure of the main part of the gaming machine, and then the upper hinge structure of the main part of the gaming machine. Is inserted into the bearing hole of the outer frame. At this time, after inserting the lower hinge structure, the upper side of the main part of the gaming machine is slightly tilted in the horizontal direction and attached.
When removing the gaming machine main part, the gaming machine main part is unlocked, and after releasing from the outer frame, the gaming machine main part is lifted upward to remove the upper and lower hinge structures.

JP2000-153045

  However, when such a gaming machine is replaced or inspected, when the gaming machine main part is removed from the outer frame, the gaming machine main part has a weight of about 10 to 15 kg. There was a problem that it was difficult to align the position of the shaft member and the bearing hole. Therefore, it may take a long time to attach the main part of the gaming machine to the outer frame.
