The protruding portion 34b of the slide member 34, which is inserted into the opening 33a of the support member 33 fixed to the inner bottom portion of the first storage recess 25a and made movable, passes through the partition wall 24a of the base member 24 and passes through the second storage recess. 25b, by hooking an operator's finger or jig into the groove space 34e-1 of the operating portion 34c exposed in the second storage recess 25b and operating in the X1-X2 direction of FIG. The slide member 34 is movable between an unlock position near the partition wall 24a shown in FIG. 6A and a lock position away from the partition wall 24a shown in FIG. 6B.

  Next, a procedure for assembling the movable effect unit 16 and the cross key unit 17 in the storage recess 25 of the base member 24 will be described.

  First, as shown in FIG. 6A, the slide member 34 is moved to the unlocked position at the end in the X1 direction in the drawing, which is closer to the left inner wall of the opening 33a, and in this state, the movable effect unit 16 is moved to the first storage recess 25a. Insert inside from the top opening. FIG. 10A is an explanatory view of this state as viewed from below the movable effect unit 16, and the four engaging step portions 29 a formed on the lower cover 29 of the movable effect unit 16 are frame-shaped portions of the slide member 34. Since it exists in the position which does not overlap | superpose each hook nail | claw 34d formed in 34a, the movable production | presentation unit 16 is in the detachable unlocked state which is not inserted-regulated by the 1st accommodation recessed part 25a.

  When the movable effect unit 16 is incorporated into the first storage recess 25a from above, the movable effect unit 16 is placed on the support member 33 fixed to the inner bottom of the first storage recess 25a and cannot move in the horizontal direction. Will be in the correct positioning state. Accordingly, as shown in FIG. 11, the upper opening of the first storage recess 25a is closed by the movable effect unit 16 (exterior case 28), but the protrusion 34b of the slide member 34 is formed on the inner bottom of the second storage recess 25b. (Receiving part 34f and operating part 34c) are exposed. Then, as shown in FIG. 6B, the operator's finger or jig is hooked on the operating portion 34c, and the slide member 34 is pulled in the X2 direction (right side in the figure) closer to the right inner wall of the opening 33a. Then, the first outer surface 34a-1 and the second outer surface 34a-2 of the slide member 34 slide while being guided along the pair of guide surfaces 33b of the support member 33 and move from the unlock position to the lock position. To do. FIG. 10B is an explanatory view of this state as viewed from the lower side of the movable effect unit 16, and each engagement step portion 29a is correspondingly positioned at the destination of each hook claw 34d of the slide member 34 in the X2 direction. With the movement in the X2 direction, the plane portion of each hook claw 34d and the plane portion of each engagement step portion 29a corresponding to the plane portion of each hook claw 34d overlap with each other toward the inner region 29b having a U-shaped cross section. Since it becomes impossible to move in the vertical direction by being inserted and hooked, the movable effect unit 16 is in a locked state in which dropping from the first storage recess 25a is prevented. However, at this time, the operating portion 34c of the projecting portion 34b is still exposed by projecting from the first housing recess 25a toward the second housing recess 25b, so the slide member 34 is pushed in from the lock position in the X1 direction. If the sliding operation based on the operating portion 34c is performed, the hooked state of each hook claw 34d and each engaging step portion 29a is released, so that the movable effect unit 16 is again unlocked and lifted from the first storage recess 25a. Can be removed.

  After the movable effect unit 16 is locked by sliding the slide member 34 in this manner, the cross key unit 17 is assembled into the second storage recess 25b from above, as shown in FIG. 12, the second storage recess 25b. The upper opening is closed by the mounting plate 31 of the cross key unit 17, and the side surface of the stopper piece 32a protruding from the lower case 32 is inserted in close proximity to the side surface 34f-2 of the receiving portion 34f of the slide member 34. Will come to be. Then, when the cross key unit 17 is fixed to the base member 24 based on the above-described snap coupling, the movement of the slide member 34 in the X1 direction (leftward in the drawing) at this time causes the side surface of the stopper piece 32a and the receiving portion 34f to move. Since it is blocked by contact with the side surface 34f-2, the slide member 34 is kept locked unless the cross key unit 17 is removed from the second storage recess 25b, and the movable effect unit 16 is removed from the first storage recess 25a. It becomes impossible.

  When the cross key unit 17 is assembled into the second storage recess 25b, if the slide member 34 is not correctly slid to the lock position, that is, the slide member 34 is moved from the unlock position to the lock position. If it is forgotten, the lower end of the stopper piece 32a hits the upper surface (upper peripheral surface 34f-1) of the receiving portion 34f in the process of inserting the cross key unit 17 into the second storage recess 25b (overlapping in plane). Therefore, it becomes impossible to insert the cross key unit 17 to the normal position for enabling the snap coupling. Therefore, when the cross key unit 17 cannot be correctly assembled into the second storage recess 25b, it can be determined that the movable effect unit 16 is not in the locked state, and an operation for setting the locked state is performed. It is possible to prevent a defect such as forgetting and assembling incorrectly.

  Moreover, what is necessary is just to make it perform the operation | work reverse to an above-mentioned assembly | attachment procedure, when performing the maintenance operation | work which test | inspects or exchanges the movable production | presentation unit 16. FIG. That is, first, after releasing the snap coupling of the cross key unit 17, the cross key unit 17 is lifted and removed from the second storage recess 25b to expose the protruding portion 34b (the receiving portion 34f and the operating portion 34c) of the slide member 34. Then, the operating portion 34c of the projecting portion 34b is gripped with an operator's fingers and pushed in to move the slide member 34 to the unlock position at the end in the X1 direction. Accordingly, the hooked engagement between the hook claw 34d of the slide member 34 and the engagement step portion 29a of the lower cover 29 is released, so that the movable effect unit 16 is unlocked and placed on the support member 33. The first storage recess 25a can be lifted and removed.

  As described above, the pachinko machine (game machine) according to the present embodiment is disposed in the vicinity of the storage recess 25 provided in the base member 24 of the upper tray 13 that constitutes a part of the machine body of the game machine. A movable effect unit 16 and a cross key unit (decorative part) 17, and the storage recess 25 is defined as an assembly position of the first storage recess 25 a and the cross key unit 17 defined as an assembly position of the movable effect unit 16. And a slide member 34 is held on the inner bottom of the storage recess 25 so as to be movable between a locked position and an unlocked position. The first storage recess of the movable effect unit 16 is moved by moving the slide member 34 (projection 34b) exposed in the second storage recess 25b to the lock position in the mounted state. The sliding member 34 (protruding portion 34b) is kept in the locked position so that it cannot be operated from the outside by preventing the dropout from 25a and attaching the cross key unit 17 to the second storage recess 25b. The unit 16 can be easily and reliably fixed to a predetermined position of the base member 24.

  In this embodiment, the movable effect unit 16 and the decorative part (cross key unit) are located on the front surface 24c of the upper tray 13 which is a part facing the player and is likely to receive an unexpected impact during the game. 17 is assembled. Therefore, there is a high possibility that one of the movable effect unit 16 and the decorative part 17 will break down. In that case, compared with the case where the movable production | presentation unit 16 and the decorative component 17 are united, any one can be maintained easily and smoothly. In addition, since the storage recess 25 whose upper surface is opened is the first storage recess 25a and the second storage recess 25b partitioned by the partition wall 24a, it is assumed that an illegal act is performed by accessing the in-flight control device. In this case, it is necessary to move the slide member 34 after removing the decorative part 17 and to remove the movable effect unit 16 so that the wiring in the storage recess 25 can be accessed. Can be deterred. It should be noted that the movable effect unit 16 and the decorative part (cross key unit) 17 may be assembled to the base member 24 in other parts such as the lower tray 14 and the front door 3 constituting the device main body of the gaming machine. In addition, the design of the engaging portion between the hook claw 34d of the slide member 34 and the engaging step portion 29a of the lower cover 29 and the number of the engaging portions can be appropriately changed according to the required fixing environment. is there.

  In the present embodiment, a stopper piece 32 a that protrudes downward is provided on the lower case 32 that is a component of the cross key unit 17, and the slide member 34 is moved to the protrusion 34 b that is provided on the slide member 34. At this time, the operating portion 34c for operation by the operator and the receiving portion 34f for contacting and stopping the stopper piece 32a are formed so as to be close to each other. Thus, when the protruding portion 34b (the receiving portion 34f and the operating portion 34e) of the slide member 34 that is exposed to the second storage recess 25b when the cross key unit 17 is not attached is in the unlocked position, the upper portion of the receiving portion 34f. Even if the cross key unit 17 is inserted into the second storage recess 25b by causing the peripheral surface 34f-1 to overlap the lower end of the stopper piece 32a in a plan view, the upper peripheral surface 34f-1 and the lower end of the stopper piece 32a are Assembly is prevented by contact. Then, the cross key unit 17 (stopper piece 32a) is moved to the second position only when the receiving portion 34f moves in response to the protrusion 34b (the receiving portion 34f and the operating portion 34e) of the slide member 34 being moved to the lock position.
