The glass door regulating means 86 includes a first abutting means 80 provided on the inner frame lower hinge fitting 44 and a glass door lower hinge fitting 47 and the glass door for the inner frame 3. 4 is the second maximum angle θ The second abutting means 85 that abuts on the first abutting means 80 and restricts the relative rotation beyond that, and the second abutting means 85 is relative to the outer frame 2 relative to the glass door 4. The first maximum angle θ1 is configured to be larger than the second maximum angle θ2 by not contacting the outer frame lower hinge fitting 43 until the rotation angle exceeds at least the second maximum angle θ2. Therefore, damage to the gaming machine when the opening of the glass door 4 is repeated can be minimized.

  FIGS. 12-14 illustrate the 2nd Embodiment of this invention, and has shown the example which changed the structure of the glass door control means 86 with respect to 1st Embodiment. The present embodiment is different from the first embodiment only in the configuration of the glass door lower hinge fitting 47 and the inner frame lower hinge fitting 44.

  The inner frame lower hinge fitting (first hinge member, first lower hinge member) 44 of the present embodiment is disposed substantially horizontally along the lower surface of the left end portion of the inner frame 3 as shown in FIGS. For example, the inner frame of the second embodiment is provided with a hinge bearing portion 75 and a mounting portion 76 disposed upward from the rear side of the hinge bearing portion 75 along the back surface of the inner frame 3. Although it is the same as that of the lower hinge metal fitting 44, the shape of the 1st contact means 80 'which comprises the glass door control means 86 differs. That is, the first abutting means 80 ′ of the present embodiment is disposed, for example, on the left end side of the top portion 77, and protrudes outward in the radial direction from the hinge bearing portion 75 with respect to the second axis 7 b, and the tip end side thereof is glass. It is formed in a substantially L-shaped cross section that bends upward along the outer peripheral surface of the door lower hinge fitting 47.

  Moreover, the glass door lower hinge metal fitting (2nd hinge member, 2nd lower hinge member) 47 of this embodiment is along the lower surface of the left end part of the door base 22 of the glass door 4, as shown in FIG. The hinge bearing portion 81 disposed substantially horizontally and the mounting portion 82 disposed upward along the back surface of the door base 22 from the rear side of the hinge bearing portion 81 are, for example, a second unit. Although it is the same as the glass door lower hinge metal fitting 47 of embodiment, the shape of 2nd contact means 85 'which comprises the glass door control means 86 is different. That is, the second contact means 85 ′ of the present embodiment is disposed, for example, on the right end side of the top portion 83, and is radially outward with respect to the second axis 7b so as to correspond to the first contact means 80 ′. It is formed in the shape of a protruding protrusion.

  When the glass door 4 is opened with the inner frame 3 closed, when the opening angle of the glass door 4 reaches the maximum glass door angle (second maximum angle) θ2, as shown in FIG. The second contact means 85 'on the 47th side comes into contact with the first contact means 80' on the inner frame lower hinge bracket 44 side, and further rotation to the open side is restricted.

  Thus, when the glass door restricting means 86 is constituted by the first abutting means on the inner frame lower hinge fitting 44 side and the second abutting means on the glass door lower hinge fitting 47 side, these first abutting means and The configuration with the second contact means is arbitrary.

  FIGS. 15 to 17 illustrate the third embodiment of the present invention, and show an example in which the first embodiment is partially modified and the glass door regulating means 86 is provided on the second upper hinge means 9 side. Yes. The present embodiment differs from the first embodiment in that the first contact means is provided not on the inner frame lower hinge bracket 44 side but on the inner frame upper hinge bracket 45 side, and the second contact means is made of glass. This is only the point provided on the glass door upper hinge fitting 46 side, not on the door lower hinge fitting 47 side.

  Similarly to the first embodiment, the second hinge metal fitting on the inner frame (first hinge member, first upper hinge member) 45 of the present embodiment is on the outer frame upper hinge metal fitting 41 side as shown in FIGS. A hinge bearing portion 61 which is disposed substantially horizontally corresponding to the lower side of the hinge bearing portion 51 and whose front end protrudes to the front side of the inner frame 3, and the rear surface of the inner frame 3 from the rear side of the hinge bearing portion 61, for example. For example, a mounting portion 62 disposed downward is provided integrally with the hinge bearing portion 61, and a hinge hole 63 is formed on the distal end side of the hinge bearing portion 61. In addition, for example, first contact means 80 ″ projecting radially outward with respect to the second axis 7b is integrally provided.

  Further, the glass door hinge fitting (second hinge member, second upper hinge member) 46 of the present embodiment is the second hinge fitting on the inner frame as shown in FIGS. 15 and 16, as in the first embodiment. A movable hinge shaft 64 that is fitted to the hinge hole 63 on the 45 side from below, and a position where the movable hinge shaft 64 is fitted to the hinge hole 63 and a retracted position that is not fitted to the hinge hole 63. A hinge shaft support member 65 that is movably supported in the vertical direction and a spring 66 that biases the movable hinge shaft 64 toward the fitting position are provided. The hinge shaft support member 65 is a pair of upper and lower hinge shaft support plates 65a. , 65b and a connecting plate 65c that connects the rear end sides of the rear end side up and down in a substantially U-shape in side view. Outside the hinge bearing portion 61 on the second hinge bracket 45 side Is provided in the second, for example, integral abutment means 85 "which projects upwardly along the surface.

  When the glass door 4 is opened with the inner frame 3 closed, when the opening angle of the glass door 4 reaches the maximum glass door angle (second maximum angle) θ2, as shown in FIG. The second abutting means 85 ″ on the 46 side abuts on the first abutting means 80 ″ on the second hinge metal fitting 45 side on the inner frame, and further rotation to the open side is restricted.

  Thus, the glass door restricting means 86 may be provided on the second upper hinge means 9 side. Of course, it is also possible to provide the glass door restricting means 86 on both the second lower hinge means 10 side and the second upper hinge means 9.

  18 to 22 exemplify the fourth embodiment of the present invention, and a third abutment constituting the inner frame regulating means 91 is formed on the outer frame lower hinge metal fitting 43 by partially changing the first embodiment. An example in which means 92 is provided is shown. The present embodiment differs from the first embodiment only in the configuration of the glass door lower hinge fitting 47 and the outer frame lower hinge fitting 43.

  In the present embodiment, the third contact means 92 is provided for the outer frame lower hinge fitting (outer frame hinge member) 43 formed substantially in the same manner as the first embodiment. That is, as shown in FIGS. 18 to 20, for example, the third contact means 92 protrudes outward in the radial direction with respect to the first axis 7 a from the outer edge of the top 74 than the outer edge of the inner frame lower hinge fitting 44. So as to be integrated. The third abutting means 92 is disposed on the open side with respect to the first abutting means 80 on the inner frame lower hinge fitting 44 side in a state where the inner frame 3 and the glass door 4 are both closed.

  Further, the glass door lower hinge fitting (second hinge member, second lower hinge member) 47 of the present embodiment is formed in substantially the same manner as the first embodiment, but as shown in FIG. The second abutting means 85 a that constitutes the inner frame restricting means 91 together with the three abutting means 92 extends to the outer edge portion of the outer frame lower hinge metal fitting 43 so as to correspond to the third abutting means 92. It is different.

  When opening the glass door 4 with the inner frame 3 closed, when the opening angle of the glass door 4 reaches the maximum glass door angle (second maximum angle) θ2, as shown in FIG. The second contact means 85a on the hinge metal fitting 47 side comes into contact with the first contact means 80 on the inner frame lower hinge metal fitting 44 side, and further rotation to the open side is restricted.

  On the other hand, when the inner frame 3 is opened with the glass door 4 closed, the relative positional relationship between the inner frame lower hinge fitting 44 and the glass door lower hinge fitting 47 does not change. The second contact means 85a on the 47 side does not contact the first contact means 80 on the lower hinge bracket 44 side, but the opening angle of the inner frame 3 is the glass door maximum angle (second maximum angle) θ2. 22, when the inner frame maximum angle (first maximum angle) θ1 is reached, the second abutment means 85a on the glass door lower hinge bracket 47 side becomes the third frame on the outer frame lower hinge bracket 43 side as shown in FIG. Abutting on the abutting means 92, further rotation to the open side is restricted.

  As mentioned above, although embodiment of this invention was explained in full detail, this invention is not limited to these embodiment, A various change is possible in the range which does not deviate from the meaning of this invention. For example, in the embodiment, an example in which the glass door restricting means 86 is provided on a hinge fitting (hinge member) provided with a hinge shaft or a hinge hole is shown, but the glass door restricting means 86 is provided on a fitting other than the hinge fitting. It may be provided.

  In the fourth embodiment, the example in which the second contact means 85a common to the glass door restriction means 86 and the inner frame restriction means 91 is used has been described. Means may be provided, and the inner frame regulating means 91 may be composed of third contact means 92 on the outer frame lower hinge fitting 43 side and fourth contact means on the inner frame lower hinge fitting 44 side.

  The lower opening / closing door provided with the upper plate 26 and the like may be opened and closed separately from the glass door (second door body) 4 on the upper side. In this case, you may comprise a lower opening-and-closing door so that it can open | release in the range which does not exceed the opening angle of the glass door 4 by opening the glass door 4, for example.

  In the embodiment, hinge means for rotatably supporting the inner frame 3 with respect to the outer frame 2 is provided at two positions on the upper and lower ends of the inner frame 3, and the glass door 4 is rotatably supported with respect to the inner frame 3. The example in which the hinge means is provided at two places on both the upper and lower ends of the glass door 4 has been shown, but one or more intermediate hinge means may be provided in addition to the upper and lower ends.

  Further, the present invention is not limited to pachinko machines, and can be similarly implemented in other game machines such as an arrangement ball machine and a sparrow ball game machine.
