  A slit 805a is formed in the guide piece 805 so as to be cut from the rear side (left side in FIGS. 10 to 12) toward the front side (right side in FIGS. 10 to 12). As a result, on the outside of each guide piece 805, a tongue-like locking piece 806 is formed, with the front side being a fixed end and the rear side being a free end.

  That is, the locking piece 806 extends along the front-rear direction and can be elastically deformed in the width direction of the base member 802 (the vertical direction in FIGS. 10 and 11). The outer surface of the locking piece 806 is a substantially arc-shaped curved surface that is concave outward.

  Two fitting recesses 830 in which the fixing portions 812 of the respective sealing members 803 are fitted are provided in parallel on the front edge portion of the base member 802 corresponding to the two sealing members 803. Each fitting recess 830 is formed from the front surface to the back surface of the base member 802.

  Locking recesses 830a and 830b for locking the locking claws 815a and 816a of the front and back arm portions 815 and 816 are formed on both front and back surfaces of the fitting recess 830 (see FIG. 26). The fitting recess 830 corresponds to the first engaged portion in the present embodiment.

  Further, the base member 802 is formed with a connecting hole portion 835 having a substantially rectangular cross section penetrating through the front and back at the rear position of each fitting recess 830. The connecting hole portion 835 corresponds to the second engaged portion and the engaging hole portion in the present embodiment, and the connecting portion 814 of the sealing member 803 is inserted as will be described later.

  On the inner front side of the connecting hole portion 835, a protrusion 835a is formed as a claw receiving portion to which the tip of the hook portion 822 is locked when the connecting portion 814 is inserted. On the other hand, a chamfered portion 835 b for facilitating insertion of the connecting portion 814 is formed at the rear edge portion of the opening portion on the surface side of the connecting hole portion 835.

The rear wall portion 393 includes a lateral wall portion 393a formed along the surface of the guide piece 805 and a vertical wall portion 393b formed along the rear end surface of the guide piece 805, and is formed in a substantially L-shaped cross section. ing. A part of the vertical wall portion 393 b of the rear wall portion 393 protrudes toward the back surface side of the base member 802.

  Next, the attachment portion 900 will be described with reference to FIGS. The mounting portion 900 includes a pedestal portion 901 having a substantially rectangular shape in plan view (rear view) formed on the back wall portion 566 of the box cover 564. However, in FIGS. 22 to 26, the back wall portion 566 of the box cover 564 in which the attachment portion 900 is formed is illustrated in a simplified manner.

  The surface of the pedestal portion 901 is formed in a substantially flat shape. A step portion 901 a is formed between the back wall portion 566 of the box cover 564 and the surface of the pedestal portion 901.

  Around the pedestal portion 901, a mounting frame portion 902 having a substantially U-shape in plan view with one side opened (the left side in FIGS. 5, 7 and 8 and FIGS. 22 to 26) is provided. The harness sealing unit 800 (base member 802) can be inserted onto the surface of the wire.

  More specifically, the attachment frame portion 902 extends along the insertion direction of the harness sealing unit 800 (the right direction in FIGS. 5, 7 and 8, and FIGS. 22 to 26: hereinafter, simply referred to as “unit insertion direction”). A back wall portion formed so as to connect a pair of formed side wall portions 902a and end portions of both side wall portions 902a on the back side in the unit insertion direction (right side in FIGS. 5, 7, 8 and 22 to 26). 902b is provided.

  On both side walls 902a, guide grooves 903 are formed on the inner surfaces facing each other along the unit insertion direction. The guide groove 903 is a part into which the guide piece 805 of the base member 802 is inserted when the harness sealing unit 800 is inserted.

  Further, a through hole 904 that penetrates to the back side of the back wall portion 566 of the box cover 564 is formed in the pedestal portion 901 corresponding to the formation range of the guide groove 903. As a result, the guide groove 903 can be accessed from the inside of the substrate box 562.

  A protrusion 903a that protrudes toward the inside of the guide groove 903 is formed at the opening side end of the mounting frame 902 (side wall 902a). The protruding portion 903a is a portion where the distal end portion of the locking piece 806 of the base member 802 is locked when the harness sealing unit 800 is inserted.

  Here, an assembly procedure of the base member 802 and the sealing member 803 will be described. When the sealing member 803 is assembled to the base member 802, first, the fixing portion 812 of the sealing member 803 is inserted into each fitting recess 830 formed in the front edge portion of the base member 802. As the fixing portion 812 of the sealing member 803 is inserted into the fitting recess 830, the locking claws 815a and 816a of the front and back arm portions 815 and 816 are in contact with the fitting recess 830 while the both arm portions 815 and 816 are in contact. Will be elastically deformed. Then, when the locking claws 815a and 816a reach the locking recesses 830a and 830b, both the arm portions 815 and 816 are restored to the original state. Accordingly, the fixing portion 812 of the sealing member 803 is fitted into the fitting recess 830, and the assembly of the sealing member 803 to the base member 802 is completed (see FIGS. 15 to 21 and the like). In this state, the back surface of the base member 802 and the outer wall surface of the arm portion 816 on the back side are substantially flush with each other, and the front surface of the base member 802 and the outer wall surface of the bridge portion 817 are substantially flush with each other.

  Next, the procedure for sealing the harness C3 by the harness sealing unit 800 will be described. First, the harness sealing unit 800 in a state where the sealing member 803 is assembled to the base member 802 is directed to the opening (unit insertion direction) of the mounting frame 902 (see FIGS. 22A to 22C). .

  Subsequently, the harness sealing unit 800 is moved along the unit insertion direction, and the guide piece 805 of the base member 802 is inserted into the guide groove 903 of the mounting frame portion 902 and is slid.

  As the harness sealing unit 800 is inserted into the attachment frame portion 902, the locking piece 806 of the base member 802 is elastically deformed while being in contact with the side wall portion 902a (projection portion 903a) of the attachment frame portion 902. .

  And if the front-end | tip of the harness sealing unit 800 contact | abuts to the back wall part 902b of the attachment frame part 902, the locking piece 806 will pass through the projection part 903a and will restore | restore to the original state. As a result, the locking piece 806 is locked to the protruding portion 903a, and the attachment of the harness sealing unit 800 to the mounting portion 900 is completed (see FIGS. 23A to 23C).

  In this state, the harness sealing unit 800 is removed from the mounting portion 900 unless the sub-control device 560 (substrate box 562) is opened and the locking piece 806 is released from the back side of the back wall portion 566 of the box cover 564. Since it is impossible, the harness sealing unit 800 is substantially fixed so as not to be removed during normal operation.

  In this state, the back surface of the base member 802 and the outer wall surface of the arm portion 816 on the back side are in contact with the surface of the base portion 901, and the front surface of the base member 802 and the outer wall surface of the bridge portion 817 are in contact with each other. It will be in the state contact | abutted to the back wall part 902b of the attachment frame part 902 (refer FIG. 26). As a result, the sealing member 803 becomes in a state in which it cannot be removed from the base member 802.

  Further, in this state, the horizontal wall portion 393a of the rear wall portion 393 of the base member 802 is substantially in contact with the opening side end portion of the side wall portion 902a of the mounting frame portion 902, and the vertical wall portion of the rear wall portion 393 is provided. 393b is substantially in contact with the step portion 901a of the pedestal portion 901. As a result, entry of a wire or the like into the guide groove 903 can be suppressed, and an unauthorized release operation can be prevented from being performed on the locking piece 806.

  When the attachment of the harness sealing unit 800 is completed, the cable C3A of the harness C3 is arranged along the arrangement groove 838 of the harness sealing unit 800 [FIGS. 24A to 24C, FIG. reference〕.

  Subsequently, the belt portion 813 of one sealing member 803 out of the two sealing members 803 is bent with the thin portion 820 as a base point (see FIG. 26B), and the connecting portion 814 is connected to the base member 802. Insert into the connecting hole 835. As the connecting portion 814 is inserted, the hook portion 822 is elastically deformed while being in contact with the protruding portion 835a. And when the hook part 822 exceeds the projection part 835a, it will restore | restore to the original state and will be in the state by which the front-end | tip was latched by the projection part 835a [refer FIG.26 (c)]. As a result, the connecting portion 814 is engaged with the connecting hole portion 835 so as not to be removed, and the sealing of the harness C3 is completed.

  In such a state, the base portion 821 of the connecting portion 814 is fitted into the connecting hole portion 835 and is in a covered state. Thereby, entry of a wire or the like into the connecting hole portion 835 can be suppressed, and an unauthorized release operation can be prevented from being performed on the hook portion 822.

  In this state, the holding piece 825 of the belt portion 813 enters the arrangement groove 838 and is in a state of pressing the cable C3A of the harness C3 in a state of being elastically deformed. Thereby, the arrangement | positioning state of cable C3A of harness C3 is stabilized. In addition, the hook 822 is firmly locked to the protrusion 835a by the restoring force of the holding piece 825, and the engaged state of the connecting portion 814 is stabilized.

  As described above, the front end side (free end side) of the holding piece 825 is slightly bent toward the surface side of the belt portion 813. For this reason, when the holding piece 825 enters the arrangement groove 838, the tip of the holding piece 825 is bent in the opposite direction to the intended direction, and the occurrence of problems such as not properly pressing the cable C 3 A is suppressed. be able to.

  Furthermore, since the restraining piece 825 enters the arrangement groove 838, it is difficult to perform an action of bending the belt portion 813 and passing through the connector C3B of the harness C3, so that an illegal act of removing the harness C3 can be suppressed. it can.

  Under the above configuration, when the harness C3 is to be removed, the sealing member 803 must be cut. That is, when the harness C3 is removed, a predetermined trace such as cutting of the sealing member 803 is left in the harness sealing unit 800. Thereby, it can be easily found that the harness C3 is illegally removed.

  The sealing process by the harness sealing unit 800 prevents unauthorized removal of the harness C3 after the sealing, and even if it is illegally removed, such a situation can be detected early and easily. Thus, the sealing process can be performed again even after it is once removed. That is, the sealing process is performed by one of the two sealing members 803, and when the harness C3 is removed due to a malfunction of the harness C3, the sealing member 803 is cut as described later. Thereafter, when a new sealing process is performed, the same procedure as described above may be performed using another sealing member 803. Therefore, in this embodiment, the sealing process can be performed up to twice.

  Here, the procedure for opening the harness sealing unit 800 will be described. In a state where the harness C3 is sealed [see FIG. 26 (c)], the opening operator first places a finger on the tip (free end) of the belt 813 of the sealing member 803, and the tip of the belt 813 A force is applied to the portion in the front side direction of the base member 802 (upward direction in FIG. 26). That is, the front end portion (free end) of the belt portion 813 constitutes the operation portion in this embodiment.

  When the front end side of the belt portion 813 is pushed up toward the front side of the base member 802, the hook portion 822 is cut from the constricted portion 823. At the same time, the belt portion 813 is opened so as to be lifted up with the thin portion 820 as a base point by the restoring force of the holding piece 825 (see FIG. 26D). Thereby, the harness C3 can be removed.

  After the belt portion 813 is opened, the cut hook portion 822 remains in the connection hole portion 835. Further, the released belt portion 813 is maintained in a state of being lifted from the base member 802 by being supported by the restoring force of the thin-walled portion 820 and the holding piece 825. Therefore, it is possible to immediately grasp that the belt portion 813 is opened by just looking at the belt portion 813 in a lifted state.

  Returning to the description of FIG. 6, the second control board unit 202 includes a payout control device 311, a firing control device 312, a power supply device 313, and a card unit connection board 314. The payout control device 311, the launch control device 312, and the power supply device 313 are equipped with a control board including a central control CPU, ROM, RAM, various ports and the like as is well known. The payout of prize balls and rental balls is controlled by the substrate 311a (see FIG. 9). In addition, the launch control board of the launch control apparatus 312 controls the launch apparatus and the like according to the player's operation of the handle 18, and the power board 313a of the power supply apparatus 313 (see FIG. 9) controls the predetermined control apparatus and the like. Is generated and output.

  The payout control device 311, the launch control device 312, and the power supply device 313 are also configured such that corresponding control boards are accommodated in the board boxes 315, 316, and 317. However, the launch control device 312 (substrate box 316) is disposed behind the power supply device 313 (substrate box 317). Further, the substrate box 315 in which the dispensing control device 311 is accommodated is provided with a sealing unit in the same manner as the main control device 261 described above, so that a trace of opening the substrate box 315 remains.

  The payout control device 311 is provided with a state return switch 321. For example, when the state return switch 321 is pressed when a payout error occurs, such as a ball clogged in the payout motor unit, the payout motor is rotated forward and reverse to eliminate the ball clogging (return to a normal state).

  The power supply device 313 (power supply board 313a) is connected to a power supply unit 541 that supplies power to each part of the pachinko machine 10, a power failure monitoring circuit 542 that monitors power interruption due to a power failure, and the RAM erase switch 323. A RAM erase switch circuit 543.

  The power supply unit 541 supplies necessary operation power (drive power) to the main control device 261, the payout control device 311 and the like through an electrical path such as the harness C1. As its outline, the power supply unit 541 takes in AC 24 volt power supplied from the outside, generates + 12V power for driving various switches and motors, + 5V power for logic, backup power for RAM backup, etc. These + 12V power supply, + 5V power supply and backup power supply are supplied to the main control device 261, the payout control device 311 and the like.

When the RAM erase switch 323 is pressed, the RAM erase switch circuit 543 outputs a RAM erase signal SK2 to the main controller 261 and the payout controller 311. When the power of the pachinko machine 10 is turned on with the RAM erase switch 323 pressed (including power-on due to power failure cancellation), the data in the respective RAMs 503 and 513 are cleared in the main controller 261 and the payout controller 311. The

  As described in detail above, the present embodiment includes the constricted portion 823 that allows the hook portion 822 of the connecting portion 814 to be separated from the belt portion 813. For this reason, the hook portion 822 can be separated from the belt portion 813 by applying force with bare hands without using a tool such as a nipper or a cutter. Accordingly, when it becomes necessary to remove the harness C3 for a valid reason such as failure, the sealing member 803 can be relatively easily separated by pulling the belt portion 813 to separate the hook portion 822. And the harness C3 can be unsealed. That is, it is possible to more surely prevent fraud without disturbing the efficiency of work performed for a valid reason. As a result, it is possible to suppress fraud and improve convenience.

  Moreover, according to this embodiment, since it is not necessary to use a nipper etc., generation | occurrence | production of the malfunction which damages the harness C3 accidentally by a nipper etc. can be suppressed. In particular, it is more effective in the harness sealing unit 800 (sealing member 803) that is relatively small and difficult to work as in the present embodiment.

  Even if the constricted portion 823 is cut using a tool such as a nipper, the constricted portion 823 is not in the belt portion 813 straddling the cable C3A of the harness C3, and it is not necessary to cut the belt portion 813. Generation | occurrence | production of the malfunction which damages cable C3A can be suppressed as much as possible.

  Furthermore, in the present embodiment, since the connecting portion 814 is inserted into the connecting hole portion 835 and the hook portion 822 is engaged with the protruding portion 835a, the harness C3 can be sealed with one touch. Unlike the binding band, the work of tightening the band portion after the attachment is not required, and the workability can be improved. In addition, since the engaging portion between the hook portion 822 and the projection portion 835a is inside the connection hole portion 835, the release operation of the hook portion 822 becomes difficult, and further improvement of the fraud prevention effect can be achieved.

  In the present embodiment, since the harness C3 connected to the terminal portion 702 of the main board 262 and the terminal portion 573 of the main relay board 570 is employed, a cable having a relatively short cable length is used. It is the composition which is hard to perform fraud. Furthermore, since the harness C3 is sealed by the harness sealing unit 800 so that it is easier to grasp at a glance than other harnesses, the illegal act is temporarily performed on the harness C3. If this happens, it will be easier to detect the wrongdoing early.

  Further, according to the harness sealing unit 800 according to the present embodiment, the length of the sealing member 803 is relatively long as compared with the configuration using the binding band as in the harness sealing unit according to the second embodiment described later. It can be shortened, and it becomes easy to reduce the size of the harness sealing unit.

  In recent years, command signals such as commands are also serially transmitted, and harnesses related to transmission / reception of such signals tend to be miniaturized (see harness C3). That is, since the number of signal lines constituting the harness cable is reduced (for example, two wires in the harness C3), it is also considered to reduce the size of the sealing member corresponding to this embodiment as in the present embodiment. However, when the sealing member is reduced in size, it becomes difficult to grasp at a glance whether or not the sealing member has been opened if the sealing member is cut and the fraud is performed. There is a concern that the action and effect of the stop member may be weakened. On the other hand, in the present embodiment, as described above, the occurrence of the above-described problems can be suppressed by providing the holding piece 825.

  Further, the sealing member having a configuration in which both ends of the belt portion 813 are not connected as in the present embodiment is more elastic at the time of sealing than a sealing member that is connected in an annular shape, such as Insulok (registered trademark), for example. There is concern that the shrinkage rate is small and the restoring force at the time of cutting is small. In other words, if an improper act is performed by cutting the sealing member or the like, it may be difficult to grasp at a glance whether or not the sealing member is opened. On the other hand, in this embodiment, as described above, the occurrence of the above-described problems can be suppressed by bending the thin portion 820 at the time of sealing or by providing the holding piece 825.

[Second Embodiment]
Next, a second embodiment of the harness sealing unit for preventing the removal of the harness C3 connecting the main board 262 and the main relay board 570 will be described with reference to FIGS. For convenience, the same components as those in the first embodiment are denoted by the same reference numerals, and detailed description thereof is omitted.

  As shown in FIGS. 27 and 28, the harness sealing unit 1800 according to the present embodiment is attached to a mounting recess 1801 as a mounting portion formed adjacent to the recess 574 in the lower part of the box cover 564. .

  The harness sealing unit 1800 includes a base member 1802 as a support member and four binding bands 1803 as sealing members.

  The base member 1802 includes a substantially flat base portion 1805 and a side wall portion 1806 orthogonal to the base portion 1805 and has a substantially L-shaped cross section. On the back side of the base 1805, a pair of locking claws 1807 are formed to project.

  Correspondingly, the mounting recess 1801 includes a bottom portion 1809 with which the base portion 1805 of the base member 1802 comes into contact and a side wall portion 1810 with which the side wall portion 1806 of the base member 1802 is opposed to each other. ing.

  The bottom portion 1809 is formed with a pair of insertion holes 1811 into which the locking claws 1807 are inserted. Then, the locking claw 1807 is inserted into the insertion hole 1811 and locked to the back side of the bottom portion 1809, whereby the harness sealing unit 1800 is fixed to the mounting recess 1801. Unless the box cover 564 is removed, the locking state of the locking claws 1807 cannot be released. Therefore, in a normal time, the harness sealing unit 1800 is substantially fixed so as not to be removed.

  The binding band 1803 includes a head portion 1813 as a second engagement portion and an engagement protrusion fixed to the base member 1802 in use, and a band portion 1814 as a belt-like belt portion extending from the head portion 1813. It is composed of The band portion 1814 is made of a soft synthetic resin material and has flexibility.

  In the base member 1802, a fixing hole 1815 for fixing the head portion 1813 of the binding band 1803 is formed in the side wall portion 1806, and an insertion hole 1816 for inserting the band portion 1814 is formed in the base portion 1805. . Four fixing holes 1815 and four insertion holes 1816 are provided corresponding to the four binding bands 1803, respectively.

  Note that a hook portion 1813a as an engaging claw that is bent in a substantially V-shaped cross section is formed on the head portion 1813 of the binding band 1803. Correspondingly, a protrusion 1815a as a claw receiving portion is formed in the fixing hole 1815 as the second engaged portion and the engaging hole portion. When the binding band 1803 is used, the hook portion 1813a of the head portion 1813 of the binding band 1803 is pushed into the fixing hole 1815 and locked to the protruding portion 1815a, so that the head portion 1813 of the binding band 1803 becomes the base member. It is fixed to 1802 so that it cannot be detached.

  Further, four groove portions 1819 are formed on the back surface of the base portion 1805 of the base member 1802 along the band portions 1814. Correspondingly, a groove portion 1820 that continues to the groove portion 1819 of the base member 1802 is also formed in the side wall portion 1810 of the mounting recess 1801. Thereby, in the attachment state of the harness sealing unit 1800, between the groove part 1819 of the base member 1802 and the bottom part 1809 of the attachment recessed part 1801, and between the side wall part 1806 of the base member 1802 and the groove part 1820 of the attachment recessed part 1801. Thus, an insertion passage through which the band portion 1814 is inserted is formed. And the free end side of the band part 1814 is in a state protruding outside through this insertion passage.

  Further, a thin metal piece 1822 is attached to the bottom 1809 of the mounting recess 1801 at a position facing each groove 1819 of the base member 1802. At the end of the metal piece 1822 on the side wall 1810 side (right side in FIG. 28), the end is bent toward the groove 1819 in a substantially square cross section, whereby an engaging piece 1822a having elasticity is provided. Is formed. The metal piece 1822 constitutes the first engaged portion in the present embodiment.

  On the other hand, a plurality of engaging protrusions 1825 are formed in a saw blade shape on the band portion 1814 of the binding band 1803 on the side facing the bottom portion 1809 of the mounting recess 1801. Each engagement protrusion 1825 includes an inclined surface that is inclined with respect to the longitudinal direction of the band portion 1814 (left-right direction in FIG. 28) and an upright surface that is orthogonal to the longitudinal direction of the band portion 1814. The inclined surface is located on the free end side (right side in FIG. 28) of the band portion 1814, and the upright surface is located on the fixed end side (left side in FIG. 28) of the band portion 1814, that is, on the head 1813 side. . The engaging protrusion 1825 constitutes the first engaging portion in the present embodiment.

  Further, a constricted portion 1831 as a fracture portion that is thinner than other portions of the hook portion 1813a is formed at the base portion of the hook portion 1813a.

  On the surface side of the band portion 1814 (side facing the cable C3A of the harness C3), a tongue-shaped holding piece 1832 is formed on the free end side of the band portion 1814 with respect to the head portion 1813.

  The holding piece 1832 extends obliquely from the surface side of the band portion 1814 to the free end side (side away from the head portion 1813) of the band portion 1814. The distal end side (free end side) of the holding piece 1832 is slightly bent toward the surface side of the band portion 1814.

  As a procedure for sealing the harness C3 by the harness sealing unit 1800, first, the cable C3A of the harness C3 is disposed on the base 1805 of the base member 1802, and then the harness C3 is connected by one of the four binding bands 1803. While winding the cable C3A, the head portion 1813 of the binding band 1803 is fixed to the base member 1802 as described above.

  Next, the free end side of the band portion 1814 of the binding band 1803 is pulled and tightened. At this time, the engagement piece portion 1822a of the metal piece 1822 is bent continuously by repeating sliding contact with the inclined surfaces of the plurality of engagement projection portions 1825 as the band portion 1814 moves, so that the movement of the band portion 1814 Is acceptable.

  When the band portion 1814 is tightened to some extent, the band portion 1814 tries to return to the fixed end side by the restoring force of itself or the head portion 1813. At this time, the tip of the engagement piece portion 1822 a of the metal piece 1822 is caught on the upright surface of the predetermined engagement projection portion 1825 of the band portion 1814. As a result, the band portion 1814 can no longer move to the fixed end side, and the band portion 1814 cannot be removed while the harness C3 is held.

  Therefore, when the harness C3 is to be removed, the binding band 1803 must be cut. That is, when the harness C3 is removed, a predetermined trace such as cutting of the binding band 1803 remains in the harness sealing unit 1800. Thereby, it can be easily found that the harness C3 is illegally removed.

  The sealing process by the harness sealing unit 1800 prevents unauthorized removal of the harness C3 after the sealing, and can detect such a situation early and easily even if it is illegally removed. Thus, the sealing process can be performed again even after it is once removed. That is, when the sealing process is performed by one of the four binding bands 1803 and the harness C3 is removed due to a malfunction of the harness C3, the binding band 1803 is not attached as in the first embodiment. The hook portion 1813a is cut from the constricted portion 1831, and the binding band 1803 is opened. Thereafter, when a new sealing process is performed, the same procedure as described above may be performed using another binding band 1803. Therefore, in this embodiment, the sealing process can be performed up to four times.

  As described above in detail, according to this embodiment, the same operational effects as those of the first embodiment can be obtained.

  Hereinafter, the technical idea that is not described in the claims and that can be grasped from the above embodiment will be described together with the effects thereof.

Means 1. A plurality of electrical components are electrically connected via a harness,
A gaming machine that performs a lottery based on a predetermined opportunity and generates a special gaming state advantageous to a player when a winning result is obtained by the lottery,
A sealing member for sealing the harness with respect to a predetermined member;
The sealing member is
A belt portion arranged to cross the cable of the harness;
An elastic piece having elasticity formed to extend from the side of the belt portion facing the cable, and
A gaming machine, wherein the elastic piece is in pressure contact with a predetermined portion in a state where the harness is sealed by at least the sealing member.

  According to the said means 1, the sealing member which seals a harness is provided. As a result, in the unlikely event that the sealing member is cut and fraudulent acts are carried out, some trace remains, such as partial breakage, and it is possible to easily find fraudulent acts by confirming it. . Therefore, it is possible not only to directly prevent an illegal act of illegally removing the harness but also to prevent the illegal act from the aspect of being able to detect the illegal act early.

  In recent years, command signals such as commands are also serially transmitted, and harnesses for transmitting and receiving the signals tend to be downsized. That is, since the number of signal lines constituting the cable of the harness is reduced (for example, two cores), it is also considered to reduce the size of the sealing member correspondingly. However, when the sealing member is reduced in size, if the sealing member is cut and illegal acts are performed, it becomes difficult to grasp at a glance whether or not the sealing member is opened. There is a concern that the action and effect may be diminished.

  On the other hand, in this means, in the state which has the elastic piece extended and formed from the belt part and the harness was sealed, the said elastic piece will be in the state press-contacted to the predetermined site | part. Thus, if the sealing member is cut or the like, the belt portion is released so as to be flipped up by the restoring force of the elastic piece. Further, the released belt portion is supported by at least the elastic piece, and is maintained in a state of being lifted from the predetermined portion. Therefore, it is possible to immediately grasp that the belt portion is released by just looking at the belt portion in the lifted state. As a result, it is possible to suppress fraud and improve convenience.

  The same applies to the following means. As the “electrical equipment”, for example, a control board (main board or the like) that performs predetermined control relating to a game, and transmission or reception of signals with the control board. Examples include other boards (sub-boards, relay boards, etc.), ball detection switches and variable winning devices in pachinko machines, and start levers and stop switches in slot machines.

  Examples of the “predetermined member” include a substrate box, a game board, and a door body that enclose the substrate.

  As the “predetermined opportunity”, for example, input of a detection signal from a predetermined ball detection switch in a pachinko machine, etc. An example is input.

  “Sealing” a harness means that the harness is unremovably restrained, and the harness or sealing member (engagement part) is “unremovable”, for example, cutting or destroying any member Unless it is opened, in a normal state, it means that the harness, the sealing member, etc. cannot be removed or is extremely difficult.

  Mean 2. 2. The gaming machine according to claim 1, wherein at least the elastic piece is in pressure contact with the cable as the predetermined portion in a state where the harness is sealed with the sealing member.

  According to the means 2, it is possible to stabilize the arrangement state of the cables of the harness. Moreover, since it becomes difficult to perform an action of bending the belt portion and passing through the connector of the harness, an illegal action of removing the harness can be suppressed.

Means 3. A groove-shaped cable receiving portion in which the cable of the harness is disposed;
In a state where at least the harness is sealed by the sealing member, the elastic piece enters the cable receiving portion, and the elastic piece is in pressure contact with at least one of the cable receiving portion and the cable as the predetermined portion; The gaming machine according to means 1, characterized in that:

  According to the means 3, the same effects as the means 2 can be obtained.

  Means 4. The gaming machine according to any one of means 1 to 3, wherein the elastic piece extends obliquely with respect to the longitudinal direction of the belt portion.

  According to the above means 4, when the elastic piece is pressed against the predetermined part, the occurrence of a problem such as bending of the elastic piece in a direction opposite to the intended direction and not being properly pressed against the predetermined part is suppressed. Can do.

  Means 5. The gaming machine according to claim 4, further comprising a bent portion that is bent toward the belt portion on a distal end side (free end side) of the elastic piece.

  According to the means 5, the operational effect of the means 4 can be further enhanced.

Means 6. A first engagement portion that is provided on one end side of the belt portion and is detachably engaged with a predetermined first engaged portion;
Any one of means 1 to 5, further comprising a second engaging portion provided on the other end side of the belt portion and engaged with a predetermined second engaged portion so as not to be detached. The gaming machine described in 1.

  For example, compared with a sealing member that is connected in an annular shape such as Insulok (registered trademark), the sealing member that does not connect both ends of the belt portion as in the above-described means 6 has an elastic contraction rate at the time of sealing. There is a concern that the restoring force at the time of cutting is small. In other words, if an improper act is performed by cutting the sealing member or the like, it may be difficult to grasp at a glance whether or not the sealing member is opened. Therefore, under the configuration of the means 6, the effects of the means 1 and the like are more effective.

  Mean 7 The belt portion includes a thin portion at a position between the first engagement portion and the second engagement portion in the longitudinal direction, and the first engagement portion or the second engagement portion is engaged with the belt portion. Means configured to be bendable (can be tilted) with the thin-walled portion as a base point in a state of being engaged with the first engaged portion or the second engaged portion corresponding to a portion. 6. The gaming machine according to 6.

  According to the means 7, for example, in a state where one engagement portion is engaged with a predetermined member, the harness cable is disposed on the predetermined member, and then the belt portion is bent (tilted) with the thin portion as a base point. Thus, the harness can be sealed relatively easily such that the other engaging portion is engaged with the predetermined member. As a result, workability can be improved.

  In addition, by adopting the above configuration, the entire belt portion other than the thin-walled portion can be configured to have a relatively high rigidity (thickness-thickness configuration). Compared to a certain belt part, it becomes difficult to perform an act of bending the belt part and passing the connector of the harness. As a result, an illegal act of removing the harness can be suppressed.

  Further, when the harness is sealed with the sealing member, the elastic piece can be more appropriately pressed against the predetermined portion, and the operation and effect of the means 1 and the like can be further ensured.

  The basic configuration of various gaming machines to which the above means are applied is shown below.

  A. The gaming machine in each of the above means is a ball game machine. As a more detailed mode example, “an operation means (game ball launching handle) operated by a player, a launching means (shot motor, etc.) for playing and launching a game ball based on an operation of the operation means, A ball ball game machine including a game area where a game ball is guided and each ball entry means (general prize opening, variable prize winning device, operation opening, etc.) arranged in the game area.

  B. The gaming machine in each of the above means or each of the above ball game machines is a pachinko machine or a gaming machine equivalent to a pachinko machine.
