<Structure of slide movable game board 61 (game board unit 2202)>
The present invention of Example 1 will be described below.
FIG. 10 is a perspective view of the back side of the gaming machine front unit 23 showing the slide movable gaming board 61 of the present invention, and (a) is a state before the gaming board unit 2202 (gaming board 61) is pulled out (gaming board unit). (B) is a state in which the game board unit 2202 (game board 61) is pulled out (the game board unit 2202 is in the drawer position) and further expanded. FIG. 11 is a perspective view showing a slide rail 2201 attached to the back surface of the gaming machine front unit 23. FIG. 12 is a perspective view showing the game board unit 2202.
10 to 17, detailed explanations of the gaming board 61, the gaming machine front unit 23, etc., which are not related to the sliding mechanism, will be made in a concise expression, and will be explained in detail mainly on the explanation of the sliding mechanism. To do.
The slide movable game board 61 by the slide mechanism of the present invention is held between the slide rails 2201 attached to the back surface of the front unit 23 of the gaming machine so as to extend substantially vertically in the vertical position. Game board unit 2202. This game board unit 2202 is a unit integrated with the game board 61. The game board unit 2202 is slidable substantially horizontally (sideward) between the slide rails 2201. In this embodiment, the slide movement direction of the game board unit 2202 between the slide rails 2201 is described as being substantially horizontal. The slide movement direction of the game board unit 2202 can be changed to the vertical direction instead of the substantially horizontal direction (not shown).

<Structure of Slide Rail 2201 and Game Board Unit 2202>
As shown in FIG. 11, the slide rail 2201 is a member in which a groove 2203 is formed so as to extend in a substantially horizontal direction. Slide rail 2201, a rectangular metal plate For example, towards the longitudinal side edges to the center line, cross-section are arranged in two rows of those bent so as to be approximately rectangular shape on both sides The gap in the center line direction becomes a groove 2203. However, it is not limited to this metal plate material, and a synthetic resin member formed by molding may be used.
The slide rail 2201 has a fixing plate portion 2204 attached to the back surface of the gaming machine front unit 23 in the longitudinal direction. The fixing plate portion 2204 is attached to the back surface of the gaming machine base unit 22 by screw fixing, adhesive fixing, or the like. Alternatively, it may be formed integrally with the gaming machine base unit 22.

  The slide rail 2201 has a length slightly shorter than the lateral width of the gaming machine front unit 23. It is sufficient that the slide rail 2201 has the same length as the lateral direction of the game board unit 2202 that supports the game board 61. With this length, the game board unit 2202 (game board 61) can be deployed with the game board 61 pulled out from the slide rail 2201. Conversely, if the width of the gaming machine front unit 23 is longer than the lateral width, the slide rail 2201 may interfere with other members, devices, and mechanisms inside the gaming machine 10.

  Such slide rails 2201 are respectively attached to the back surface of the gaming machine front unit 23 so that the grooves 2203 face each other. Each slide rail 2201 is provided with a hole 2205 on the side where the game board 61 (game board unit 2202) is pulled out from the slide rail 2201. The hole 2205 is formed in both the upper slide rail 2201 and the lower slide rail 2201. Its center point is on the same axis.

  In the upper and lower holes 2205, pins 2206 that are attached to one side of the game board unit 2202 and project in the vertical direction are detachably fitted. When the game board unit 2202, that is, the game board 61 is pulled out from the slide rail 2201, and the pin 2206 reaches the position of the hole 2205, the pin 2206 protrudes greatly due to the elastic force, and the tip of the pin 2206 is fitted into the hole 2205. The game board unit 2202 (game board 61) can be rotated using the hole 2205 and the pin 2206 as the rotation center point. Therefore, the game board unit 2202 (game board 61) can be developed.

  Instead of the game board unit 2202, a game board fixing frame can be used (not shown) so that the conventional game board 61 having a substantially elliptical shape can be used as it is. The fixed frame for the game board is a substantially rectangular frame body that is held so as to surround the substantially elliptical game board 61, and its upper side and lower side can be slid into the upper and lower grooves 2203 of the slide rail 2201. It consists of a linear member. It is also possible to use a fixed frame for a game board separate from such a game board 61 so as to be slidably attached to the slide rail 2201.

  As shown in FIG. 11, the hole 2205 is formed on the left side of the slide rail 2201. This is attached to the opposite side to the position where the support brackets 17 and 18 of the gaming machine 10 are attached. This is because the game board unit 2202 (game board 61) can be pulled out toward the side where the gaming machine front unit 23 is unfolded and opened. Of course, this hole 2205 can be opened on the right side of the slide rail 2201.

  The holes 2205 can be opened at both ends of the slide rail 2201 (not shown). If two slide rails 2201 having holes 2205 in both sides are prepared for one type of slide rail 2201 and one is inverted and attached to the gaming machine base unit 22, the upper slide rail 2201 can be The side slide rail 2201 can also be used for both.

  The game board unit 2202 (game board 61) of the present invention does not necessarily have to be pulled out to the end of the slide rail 2201 and deployed with the pin 2206 as the rotation center point. For example, the game board unit 2202 (game board 61) can be stopped in the middle of the slide rail 2201. At this time, since the game board unit 2202 is in the groove 2203 of the slide rail 2201, the game board unit 2202 is parallel to the slide rail 2201, but simple inspection and cleaning of the gaming machine 10 are sufficient. At this time, if necessary, a stop hole (not shown) into which the pin 2206 is fitted can be opened in the middle of the slide rail 2201.

<Structure of pin 2206>
FIG. 13 is an enlarged cross-sectional view showing the structure of the pin 2206 of the game board unit 2202, (a) shows a state where the pin 2206 is pushed down, and (b) shows a state where the pin 2206 protrudes greatly and fits into the hole 2205. It is. The illustrated example shows the structure of the pin 2206 on the upper side of the game board unit 2202, but the structure of the lower pin 2206 is the same as that of the game board unit 2202, and the description thereof will be omitted.
The pin 2206 is attached to one end of a pin support member 2206 a having a substantially bar shape in the game board unit 2202. The other end of the pin support member 2206a is provided with a swing support portion 2206b for moving the pin support member 2206a up and down in the game board unit 2202. The pin support member 2206a is held in a state in which the pin 2206 is biased so as to protrude outward by an elastic member 2206c such as a coil spring.

  A pin push-down button 2206d is formed on the pin support member 2206a between the pin 2206 and the swing support portion 2206b. The pin push-down button 2206d protrudes from a button hole 2206e opened in the game board unit 2202 as shown in FIG. That is, the pin push-down button 2206d is in a state of slightly protruding from the upper and lower slide surfaces 2202a of the game board unit 2202 (see FIG. 12). When the pin push-down button 2206d moves in the groove 2203 of the slide rail 2201, the pin push-down button 2206d is literally pushed into the game board unit 2202, and the pin support member 2206a constituting the pin push-down button 2206d. The swing support portion 2206b serves as a rotation fulcrum, and the pin 2206 at the tip thereof is largely pushed down, so that the pin 2206 does not obstruct the slide movement of the game board unit 2202 in the groove 2203 of the slide rail 2201.

  As shown in FIG. 13B, the game board unit 2202 (game board 61) is pulled out from the slide rail 2201, and when the pin 2206 comes to the position of the hole 2205, the pin support member 2206a is pushed up by the elastic member 2206c. The pin 2206 protrudes greatly, and the tip of the pin 2206 fits into the hole 2205. The game board unit 2202 (game board 61) can be rotated using the hole 2205 and the pin 2206 as the rotation center point.

<Structure of step 2207>
FIG. 14 is an enlarged front view showing the structure (step portion) of the step 2207 of the game board unit 2202. Although the illustrated example shows the structure of the step 2207 on the upper side of the game board unit 2202, the structure of the step 2207 on the lower side has the same configuration, and thus the description thereof is omitted.
A step 2207 is formed at a location where the pin 2206 is attached in the game board unit 2202. The game board unit 2202 is vertically shorter than the other slide surface 2202a. This is to prevent interference with the rising portion of the slide rail 2201, that is, the positions on both sides of the groove 2203 when the game board unit 2202 (game board 61) is developed. Even if this step 2207 portion does not fit in the groove 2203, most of the slide surface of the game board unit 2202 fits in the groove 2203 and slides, so there is no hindrance to sliding movement. Of course, the function of supporting the original game board unit 2202 is sufficiently exerted.

  The step 2207 in the pin 2206 portion is formed with an over-rotation prevention structure 2208 that comes into contact with the periphery of the slide rail 2201 so that over-rotation around the pin 2206 of the game board unit 2202 can be prevented. This over-rotation prevention structure 2208 is pulled out from the slide rail 2201, as shown in the figure, and the game board unit 2202 rotates the pin 2206 portion as shown in FIGS. 10 (b) and 13 (b). As a center point, it can be rotated to expand. Therefore, the distance (L1) between the edge of the step 2207 (over-rotation prevention structure 2208) and the pin 2206 is slightly longer than the distance between the hole 2205 into which the pin 2206 is fitted and the edge of the slide rail 2201. Of course, the step 2207, that is, the game board unit 2202 is rotated around the pin 2206. However, if the step 2207 portion is too long, it becomes easy to rotate around the hole 2205 inadvertently. As a result, the gaming board unit 2202 (gaming board 61) may come into contact with other members, devices, and wiring of the gaming machine 10 to cause a malfunction in the gaming machine 10. Therefore, such an over-rotation preventing structure 2208 is formed.

<Structure of the handle 2209 and the engaging portion 2210>
FIG. 15 is a perspective view showing a state in which the drawn game board unit 2202 (game board 61) is hooked to the gaming machine base unit 22 via the handle 2209.
A handle 2209 is preferably provided on the game board unit 2202. This handle 2209 can be attached to and detached from an engaging portion 2210 provided in the gaming machine base unit 22. This handle 2209 is attached to the drawing side of the game board unit 2202. The game board unit 2202 can be easily pulled out from the slide rail 2201 during maintenance and inspection work of the gaming machine 10. In the illustrated example, one bar-like member extending in the vertical direction and its upper and lower parts are bent, and each tip is attached to the edge of the game board unit 2202. In the illustrated example, a handle 2209 is attached to the surface side of the game board unit 2202.

  This handle 2209 is not only used when the game board unit 2202 is pulled out from the slide rail 2201, but as shown in FIG. 15, the handle 2209 is attached to the engaging portion 2210 attached to the gaming machine base unit 22. It can be detachably hooked. This engaging portion 2210 has a structure in which a vertical bar portion constituting the handle 2209 is sandwiched by a holding tool in which members having elastic S-shaped and reverse S-shaped cross sections made of metal are opposed to each other. It is. In addition, in the example of illustration, although the structure which has arrange | positioned three clamping tools is shown, it is not limited to this number. Further, the structure of the engaging portion 2210 is not limited to a configuration in which members having S-shaped and inverted S-shaped cross sections are arranged to face each other. Things can be adopted. There is no problem as long as the handle 2209 can be detachably hooked.

When hooked this grip 2209 with the engagement portion 2210 of the gaming machine base unit 22, as shown in FIG. 1 5, viewing from above, from the game board unit 2202 and the gaming machine front unit 23 and the gaming machine base unit 22. It has a substantially triangular prism shape. The surface side of the game board unit 2202 (game board 61), nails 69, winning holes, etc. 62, 63, 64, 65 can be easily seen, and inspection and maintenance can be easily performed. Moreover, unlike the conventional gaming machine, the game board unit 2202 is securely fixed, so that it can be operated safely without swinging during inspection and maintenance.

  When checking / maintaining the back side of the game board unit 2202 (game board 61), the game board unit 2202 (game board 61) is pulled out from the slide rail 2201 and before the pin 2206 is fitted into the hole 2205. Stop at the position. At this position, the slide surface of the game board unit 2202 stays in the groove 2203 of the slide rail 2201, and the game board unit 2202 is parallel to the slide rail 2201, that is, parallel to the back surface of the gaming machine front unit 23. However, since it is in a state of protruding laterally from the back surface of this gaming machine front unit 23, the surrounding space is wide, and inspection and maintenance work can be performed without interfering with other gaming machines and devices in this wide space. It can be carried out.

When the inspection / maintenance of the game board 61 is completed, the pin 2206 is pushed into the hole 2205 of the slide rail 2201 using a tool such as a screwdriver, and then the game board unit 2202 is returned between the slide rails 2201. At this time, if the longitudinal direction of the game board unit 2202 is not parallel to the longitudinal direction of the slide rail 2201, the game board unit 2202 is first returned to the parallel positional relation. Push back between rails 2201. This completes the operation of pushing the game board unit 2202 and the game board 61 back to their original positions.
When the handle 2209 is hooked on the engaging portion 2210 of the gaming machine base unit 22, it is necessary to release it first.

<Modification of Pin 2206>
FIG. 16 shows a modified example of the pin 2206, which is an enlarged front sectional view (a) and a partial plan view (b) before being fitted into the hole 2205, and an enlarged front sectional view of the state fitted into the hole 2205. It is (c) and a partial top view (d). FIG. 17 shows a modified example of the pin 2206, which is an enlarged front sectional view (e) and a partial plan view (f) in a state of being removed from the hole 2205.
In this modified example of the pin 2206, as shown in FIG. 16A, the tip portion of the pin 2206 is not cylindrical, but is inclined from the drawer side (end edge side) of the game board unit 2202 to the opposite side. (Right side on the drawing). The inclined short part is such that a part of the pin 2206 does not protrude from the hole 2205. The pin 2206 of this modified example can be projected and retracted so that the positional relationship between the inclined surface of the tip portion of the pin 2206 and the game board unit 2202 does not change, but the pin 2206 does not rotate around the central axis. And

  As shown in FIGS. 16A and 16B, the pin 2206 of this modified example has a high inclined surface of the hole 2205 (jumps out) when moving in the groove 2203 of the slide rail 2201 described above. ) Portion slides on the surface of the groove 2203, so there is no problem in pulling out the game board base unit 2202.

  Next, as shown in FIGS. 16C and 16D, when the pin 2206 moves to the position of the hole 2205, it jumps out into the hole 2205 by an elastic force. Since the high inclined portion at the tip of the pin 2206 fitted through the hole 2205 is rubbed in a freely rotatable manner in the hole 2205, the pin 2206 is prevented from coming off. The function as a rotating shaft is sufficiently exhibited. The pin 2206 of this modified example can be moved freely, but the pin 2206 does not rotate around the central axis so that the position of the inclined surface at the tip of the pin 2206 does not move. Therefore, even if the inclined surface 2211 is formed at the tip of the pin 2206, the function as a rotating shaft is exhibited.

  As shown in FIGS. 17 (e) and 17 (f), the pin 2206 has an inclined surface 2211 formed so that a part of the pin 2206 protrudes from the hole 2205 on the opposite side to the drawing direction of the game board unit 2202. . When the game board unit 2202 is pushed back between the slide rails 2201 by the inclined surface 2211 at the tip of the pin 2206, the inclined surface at the tip of the pin 2206 hits the periphery of the hole 2205 and moves to the groove surface of the slide rail 2201 as it is. The whole is pushed back. As described above, the operation of pushing the pin 2206 can be omitted.

In addition, it is not limited to the description content of embodiment mentioned above, For example, you may implement as follows.
In the said embodiment, although this invention was applied with respect to the pachinko machine 10 provided with the symbol display apparatus, you may apply to the pachinko machine of another type. 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. Further, the present invention can be applied to a pachinko machine provided with a single saucer instead of being provided with an upper pan and a lower pan.
