It is held in the state of being attached to the frame 3. In addition, the board holding pieces 172a and 182a have flat surfaces extending along the upper and lower sides of the game board 2, and in order to press the front upper and lower sides of the game board 2 with the flat surfaces, the game board 2 Can be stably held in the gaming machine frame 3.

  Also, the rail pressing piece 174 has a flat surface opposite to the front upper right portion of the rail decorative frame 410 described later, and the rail upper portion right portion of the rail decorative frame 410 is pressed by the flat surface. The frame 410 can be stably held (see FIGS. 4 and 6).

  Next, the game board 2 will be described based on FIG. 6 and FIG. FIG. 6 is a front view showing the game board. FIG. 7 is an exploded perspective view showing the configuration of the game board and the like.

  As shown in FIGS. 6 and 7, the game board 2 mainly comprises a board 200 and a spacer member 250 integrally attached to the back side of the board 200. As shown in FIG. The thickness of the board 200 is about 10 mm, and the whole is formed to be transparent. Further, the board 200 forms the game area 10 between the front side of the board 200 and the glass window 50 a disposed substantially in parallel with the board 200.

  In the present embodiment, the entire panel board 200 is formed to be transparent, but a translucent member capable of seeing through a decorative body (not shown) or the like disposed from the front side to the rear side of the panel board 200. If it is formed, it may be translucent or may be colored. Moreover, even if the whole does not have translucency, the translucent part may be formed in at least a part of the game area 10.

  The spacer member 250 is formed of a non-light transmitting member in a substantially square frame shape in a front view, and has a mounting portion 250A on which the rear peripheral edge of the panel board 200 is disposed. A plurality of positioning bosses for determining the position of the face plate 200 are provided in a protruding manner, and a plurality of mounting bosses having a screw hole into which a mounting screw is screwed are provided in a protruding manner. Since the plate thickness of the mounting portion 250A in the spacer member 250 is about 10 mm, the gaming board 2 having a plate thickness of about 20 mm is formed by the spacer member 250 and the board plate 200.

  The first hole portion 201 to which the center decoration frame 52 is attached, and the special variable winning ball device 7, ordinary The second hole 202 to which the variable winning ball device 6B and the first guiding member unit 300 having a guiding passage are attached, the third hole 203 to which the normal winning ball device 6A is attached, and the fourth hole forming the out port 16 A portion 204, a fifth hole portion 205 to which the passage gate 41 is attached, and sixth hole portions 206A to 206C to which the general winning hole formation member is attached are formed penetrating in the front-rear direction (see FIG. 7) .

  In addition, a second guiding member unit 301 for guiding a game ball is attached at an upper right position of the first guiding member unit 300 on the game board surface 200A which is the front of the board 200, and the left position of the general winning opening forming member The third induction member unit 302 for guiding the gaming ball is attached to the player.

  In addition, a guide rail 500 provided around the game area 10 is attached to the game board surface 200A. The guide rail 500 includes an outer rail forming the outer edge of the game area 10, and an inner rail 501 (rail member) attached to the inner side of the outer rail. Specifically, the outer rail is a predetermined length downward from the first outer rail 502 extending while curving from the lower left to the upper right of the game area 10, and the right end of the first outer rail 502 (the end opposite to the discharge opening) And a second outer rail 503 extending a predetermined length from there to the out port 16. The first outer rail 502 is made of a band plate-like metal material, and is fitted to the arc-shaped inner side surface of the rail decoration frame 410 disposed outside the first outer rail 502 with respect to the game board surface 200A. The rail decoration frame 410 is attached by fixing with a plurality of screws N1. In FIGS. 4 and 6, for convenience of explanation, the number of screws N1 is shown to be smaller than the actual number.

  The second outer rail 503 is made of synthetic resin and attached to the game board surface 200A by a plurality of screws N2. Below the second outer rail 503, the first special symbol display 4A, the second special symbol display 4B, the first hold indicator 25A, the second hold indicator 25B, the normal symbol indicator 20, and A diagram reserve display 25C is provided. Further, on the right side of the second outer rail 503, there is formed a label attaching section 520 to which a label (certificate stamp) (not shown) issued by a third party organization on which the date of manufacture etc. is written is attached. Since the gaming machine without the label attached can not be placed in the hall, the second outer rail 503 having the label attaching section 520 is fixed so that it can not be easily removed from the board 200.

  The inner rail 501 is made of a synthetic resin material, and extends from the left end of the second outer rail 503 in an arc shape upward in a predetermined length while curving to the right. The inner rail 501 is provided with a locking claw 501a that can be locked in a locking groove 503a provided at the left end of the second outer rail 503 (the left end of the lower portion of the second outer rail 503). The second outer rail 503 is connected to the second outer rail 503 by locking between the second outer rail 503 and the second locking rail. That is, since the inner rail 501 is united with the second outer rail 503 fixed firmly to the board 200, it can be stably attached to the board 200. In addition, the inner rail 501 is attached to the game board surface 200A by a plurality of screws N3 at fixing portions 504T and 504U described later.

  Although the first outer rail 502 (rail decoration frame 410), the second outer rail 503, and the inner rail 501 are fixed to the panel plate 200 by the screws N1, N2, and N3 have been described, the present invention is not limited thereto. It may be attached (fixed) to the board 200 by welding or press fitting.

  A launch ball passage 402 is formed between the inner rail 501 and the first outer rail 502, and the game ball P thrown from the hit ball launch device is guided to the launch ball passage 402 and flows into the game area 10. . Specifically, the game ball P launched from the non-illustrated ball striking device provided at the lower right of the game board 2 moves upward along the first outer rail 502 toward the launching ball passage 402 to play the game area You will be directed to the upper left of 10 Then, when the player performs the first operation on the bat operating handle 51, the gaming ball P entering the game area 10 flows down the first path K1 on the left side of the center decoration frame 52, and the player performs the bat operating handle 51 When the second operation in which the firing intensity is stronger than one operation is performed, the gaming ball P entering the game area 10 flows down the second path K2 on the right side of the center decoration frame 52.

  At the free end (upper end) of the inner rail 501, a ball return prevention device 700 is provided. This ball return prevention device 700 has a plate-like opening / closing portion 701 pivotally supported pivotably to the free end of the inner rail 501, and the opening / closing portion 701 closes the launch ball passage 402 by a weight portion not shown. It is urged to do. In addition, when the open / close portion 701 closes the launch ball passage 402, the weight portion is locked to the inner rail 501, and it can not rotate further counterclockwise (see FIG. 6). ). According to this, the game ball P knocked in from the ball hitting and firing apparatus bounces the opening and closing part 701 against the urging by the weight part and flows into the game area 10, and the shot ball from the game area 10 The game ball P which is going to return to the inside of the passage 402 is prevented by the opening and closing part 701 from returning into the launching ball passage 402.

  Next, a rail decoration frame 410 disposed outside the first outer rail 502 will be described with reference to FIG. The rail decoration frame 410 is a resin member formed in an arc extending from the lower left to the upper right of the game area 10 through the upper left. The first outer rail 502 is attached to the arc-shaped inner side surface of the rail decoration frame 410. In addition, an elastic member 600 formed of an elastic body such as rubber is attached as a collision target at a position on the inner side surface of the rail decoration frame 410 to which the tip portion (upper right portion in FIG. 6) of the first outer rail 502 is attached The game ball, which has been fired from a ball hitting and launching apparatus (not shown) and moved along the inner side of the first outer rail 502 with a force exceeding a predetermined level, strikes the elastic member 600 and dampens the center of the game area 10 It bounces back to the club side.

  The first outer rail 502 is formed with a holding portion for holding the elastic member 600. The holding portion includes a plate-like first holding portion 421 having an inner side surface and a protruding portion 422 (see FIG. 9B) which is press-fitted into the through hole 602 formed in the elastic member 600, and the elastic member 600. And at least a second holding portion 423 opposed to the back side surface 604, which is the surface opposite to the collision surface 601 with which the game ball collides.

  The first holding portion 421 supports the elastic member 600 by press-fitting the projecting portion 422 of the first holding portion 421 into the through hole 602 of the elastic member 600, and even when the game ball collides with the elastic member 600. The position of the elastic member 600 is prevented from shifting. In addition, since the elastic member 600 can be removed by pulling out from the protruding portion 422 of the first holding portion 421, the maintainability is improved.

  A stepped portion 424 is formed in the projecting portion 422 of the first holding portion 421 between the root portion and the distal end portion in the projecting direction, and is engaged with the stepped portion 603 formed in the through hole 602 of the elastic member 600 By doing this, it is possible to prevent the position of the elastic member 600 from shifting even if the game ball collides.

  Further, in the projecting portion 422, the diameter of the root portion is larger than the diameter of the tip portion with the step portion 424 as a boundary. Therefore, the durability of the protrusion 422 can be enhanced to make the protrusion 422 more durable, and breakage of the protrusion 422 can be prevented.

  In addition, the first holding portion 421 has a plate-like portion 425 in which a projecting portion 422 is formed on the inner side surface (rear surface), and the outer side surface (front surface) of the plate-like portion 425 corresponds to the projecting portion 422. A recess 426 recessed from the portion toward the inside of the protrusion 422 is formed. By providing the recess 426 and punching out the inside of the protrusion 422, the durability of the protrusion 422 can be improved. Further, by attaching a seal member to the front surface of the first holding part 421, the front opening of the recess 426 formed on the front surface of the first holding part 421 is closed.

  The second holding portion 423 has an engaged portion 427 engaged with the step portion 605 provided on the back side surface 604 of the elastic member 600. Therefore, even if an impact is given to the elastic member 600 due to a game ball colliding or the like, the position of the elastic member 600 shifts or the protrusion 422 in which the elastic member 600 is press-fit into the through hole 602 is the center It can prevent rotating.

  Further, in a state where the elastic member 600 is attached to the holding portion (the first holding portion 421 and the second holding portion 423) and the rail decoration frame 410 having the holding portion is attached to the game board 2, FIG. A gap 26 is formed between the elastic member 600 and the game board 2 as shown in FIG. By having this gap 26, the impact of the game ball colliding with the elastic member 600 is prevented from being transmitted to the game board 2.

  The elastic member 600 is formed in a substantially rectangular parallelepiped shape as shown in FIG. 10, and the distance L1 between the cylindrical center which is the shape of the through hole 602 and the collision surface 601 is the shape of the through hole 602. It is longer than the distance L 2 between the center of the cylindrical shape and the back surface 604. Thus, the impact of the game ball colliding with the surface 601 to be collided can be sufficiently absorbed by the elastic body of the elastic member 600 in the range of the distance L1.

  Further, in the elastic member 600, at least the collision surface 601 protrudes from the end of the first holding portion 421 in the state where the elastic member 600 is held by the holding portions (the first holding portion 421 and the second holding portion 423) (FIG. 6). reference). For this reason, when the game ball fired from the ball hitting and launching apparatus (not shown) flies along the first outer rail 502 with a predetermined momentum or more, it always collides with the surface 601 to be collided of the elastic member 600. Since the first holding portion 421 does not collide, damage to the first holding portion 421 can be prevented.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 9A, the collided surface 601 is held by the holding portion (the first holding portion 421 and the second holding portion 423), as shown in FIG. 9A. The collision surface 601 is inclined at a predetermined angle θ1 so as to open toward the center of the game area 10 with respect to the normal T1 perpendicular to the tangent at the predetermined point of the first outer rail 502, and perpendicular to the game board surface 200A. It is formed as an inclined surface which is inclined by a predetermined angle θ2 toward the side of the game board surface 200A with respect to the perpendicular T2.

  Therefore, when the game ball P moving along the first outer rail 502 collides with the colliding surface 601 held by the holding portion (the first holding portion 421 and the second holding portion 423), the game ball P is It bounces back to the game board surface 200A side in a direction away from the first outer rail 502. Therefore, in the game area 10 which spreads under the elastic member 600, it can be guided to the passing gate 41 provided at a position away from the first outer rail 502 and the general winning opening 401C, and the rebounding game ball P is the first It is possible to avoid colliding with the following gaming ball P moving along the outer rail 502 and affecting the flow of the following ball. In addition, it is possible to prevent the game ball P which has bounced from colliding against the glass window 50a and damaging the glass window 50a.

  As described above, the elastic member 600 is configured such that the rebound angle and the speed of the game ball P are adjusted according to the inclination and the repulsive force of the collision surface 601 in the state of being held by the holding portion (the first holding portion 421 and the second holding portion 423). Therefore, it is a member that affects the flow-down path of the rebounded gaming ball P if the tilt may change in the held state.

  Further, the opening peripheral edge of the through hole 602 in the elastic member 600 is chamfered. As a result, the direction (front and back) of the elastic member 600 is not mistaken, and the projection 422 of the first holding portion 421 of the rail decoration frame 410 can be easily inserted into the through hole 602.

  In elastic member 600, as described above, distance L1 between the cylindrical center which is the shape of through hole 602 and collision surface 601 is the cylindrical center and the back side 604 which is the shape of through hole 602. It is longer than the distance L2. For this reason, the direction when attaching the elastic member 600 to the rail decoration frame 410 will not be mistaken.

  Further, in the elastic member 600, the through hole 602 is formed as a hole penetrating through one of six substantially rectangular parallelepiped faces and one face opposite thereto, and the through hole 602 is formed in the through hole 602. The end of the protrusion 422 of the first holding portion 421 to be inserted reaches at least the middle point of the through hole 602 or the far side of this. Thereby, the absorbability of the impact when the game ball collides can be enhanced. In addition, the hole drilled in the elastic member 600 is not limited to the through hole, and may be a hole which is not penetrated.

  At the right end of the first outer rail 502, as shown in FIG. 11, a ground 511 for releasing generated static electricity is formed. Further, in the vicinity of the ground 511 in the first outer rail 502, a curved portion 512 curved toward the outside of the arc-shaped first outer rail 502 is formed. By having the curved portion 512, the work of fitting the ground 511 of the first outer rail 502 to the back surface side of the rail decoration frame 410 becomes easy. For example, the lower left portion of the first outer rail 502 is fitted to the lower left portion of the rail decoration frame 410, and the first outer rail 502 is made to run along the inner side surface of the rail decoration frame 410. When fitting on the back side in the upper right portion, the curved portion 512 can be bent or the like to fit in a predetermined position on the back side of the upper right portion of the rail decoration frame 410 while finely adjusting the direction of the ground 511 (See FIG. 9A).

  Further, as shown in FIG. 9C, the first outer rail 502 and the elastic member 600 are disposed with a predetermined gap therebetween in the state of being attached to the rail decoration frame 410. Therefore, for example, the vibration generated by the movement of the game ball P along the first outer rail 502 is not transmitted to the elastic member 600 and does not affect the rebound angle or speed of the game ball P, etc. . In addition, it is avoided that the vibration generated by the collision of the game ball P with the elastic member 600 is transmitted to the first outer rail 502 to affect the flow-down path of the game ball P moving along the first outer rail 502 Ru.

  Further, the elastic member 600 is provided in a state of being in proximity to a position near the curved portion 512 formed at the end of the first outer rail 502 in a state of being attached to the rail decoration frame 410. That is, as shown in FIG. 9A, the first outer rail 502 is disposed along the elastic member 600, but part of the first outer rail 502 is separated from the elastic member 600 by the provision of the curved portion 512. The elastic member 600 can be held so that the surface on the first outer rail 502 side of the elastic member 600 can be covered from the first outer rail 502 side by a part of the second holding portion 423. Support.

  As shown in FIG. 8, in the state where the ground 511 is attached to the back side of the first outer rail 502, a part of the ground 511 is on the front side through the hole 507 formed in the first outer rail 502. The projecting portion is adapted to contact a grounding member (not shown) provided on the back surface of the glass door frame 50 when the glass door frame 50 is closed.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 11B, the curved portion 512 of the first outer rail 502 can be provided with a slit 513 along the curving direction. By forming the slits 513, when the ground 511 is fitted on the back side of the upper right portion of the rail decoration frame 410, it becomes easy to finely adjust the direction of the ground 511.

  As shown in FIG. 12A, in the portion where the right side end of the rail decoration frame 410 and the upper end of the second outer rail 503 are joined, the rear side is viewed from the front side at the right side end of the rail decoration frame 410. An engaging portion 530, which is provided to project from the front side to the rear side at the upper end portion of the second outer rail 503, is fitted to the engaged portion 420 which is recessed toward the side. . Thus, the rail decoration frame 410 is pressed from the front to the rear by the second outer rail 503, so the stability of the rail decoration frame 410 is improved.

  In the gaming board 2 configured as above, the elastic members 600 with which the gaming balls collide are held by the holding portions (the first holding portion 421 and the second holding portion 423) of the rail decoration frame 410. Then, the rail decoration frame 410 is screwed and fixed to the board 200 using the plurality of screws N 1, whereby the elastic member 600 is disposed at a predetermined position on the board 200. That is, the elastic member 600 is provided at a predetermined position of the board 200 via the rail decoration frame 410.

  Then, the second outer rail 503 is attached to the panel board 200 by the plurality of screws N 2 after the second outer rail 503 is attached to the panel frame 200 by the plurality of screws N 2. The rail decoration frame 410 is held on the board 200 by the lower outer end of the rail decoration frame 410 being pressed by the second outer rail 503 from the front side.

  Further, the game board 2 with the rail decoration frame 410, the second outer rail 503, and the inner rail 501 attached to the board 200 is assembled to the gaming machine frame 3, and the upper right end of the rail decoration frame 410 is the panel holding member 162a. The rail decorative frame 410 is held on the board 200 by being pressed from the front side by the rail pressing piece 174 of

  As described above, by attaching the rail decoration frame 410 holding the elastic member 600 to the board 200, the elastic member 600 is held at a predetermined position in the game area 10, and the game board 2 is assembled to the game machine frame 3. Since the stability of the rail decorative frame 410 is improved by holding the plurality of portions of the rail decorative frame 410 from the front side by the second outer rail 503 and the rail pressing piece 174, the rail decorative frame 410 is held by the rail decorative frame 410. Positional displacement of the elastic member 600 from the holding position is suppressed.

  The positional deviation means the positional deviation of the elastic member 600 from the holding position to the front side, that is, the positional deviation of the board 200 in a direction away from the gaming board 200A, or the direction in which the board pivots about the projection 422. The positional deviation, the positional deviation in the direction along the game board surface 200A, and the like are also included.

  Further, the second outer rail 503 and the rail pressing piece 174 of the panel pressing member 162a function as a second holding body for holding the rail decoration frame 410 on the panel 200 in a state where the glass door frame 50 is opened. Although not shown in particular, the glass window 50a of the glass door frame 50 approaches or abuts on the front surface of the first holding portion 421 of the rail trim frame 410 when in the closed position, and hence the second holding when in the closed position. It functions as a body but does not function as a second holder when in the open position.

  Further, in the pachinko gaming machine 1, as shown in FIG. 6, a second passage K2 on the right side of the center decoration frame 52 in the game area 10 is provided with a passing gate 41, a general winning opening 401C and a plurality of obstacle nails not shown. When the game ball collided with the elastic member 600 held by the first holding portion 421 of the rail decoration frame 410 moves down the second path K2 while changing the track due to the collision, it passes through the passing gate 41 or There is a case of entering the winning opening 401C. As described above, when the game ball passes the passing gate 41, the variable display of the normal symbol is started, and the normally variable winning ball device 6B is opened and the second starting winning hole is achieved, the second special symbol The variable display of may be started and controlled to the jackpot gaming state. In addition, if the gaming ball wins the general winning opening 401C, a predetermined number of winning balls can be obtained.

  That is, there is a possibility that the gaming ball having collided with the elastic member 600 flows down the second path K2, and a value advantageous to the player (for example, a big hit gaming state or a winning ball) may be provided. Here, the path along which the gaming ball flows down the second path K2 may change depending on the amount and angle of bounce when the ball collides with the elastic member 600. Therefore, the elastic member 600 is replaced by an incorrect elastic member formed so that the game ball bounces in a direction advantageous to the player, or the direction of the elastic member 600 is illegally changed, etc. If the etc. is changed, the number of gaming balls passing through the passing gate 41 or entering the general winning opening 401C may increase, which may increase the possibility of giving advantageous value to the player. .

  Therefore, by removing the elastic member 600 from the panel plate 200 by screwing and fixing a plurality of portions of the rail decoration frame 410 which is the first holding member for holding the elastic member 600 with the screw N1, the plurality of screws N1 are removed. You will need to remove it. In addition, the rail decorative frame 410 can be formed from the panel plate 200 by providing the rail pressing piece 174 of the panel press fitting 162a which is the second holding body for holding the rail decorative frame 410 and the engaging portion 530 of the second outer rail 503. In order to remove it, it is necessary to release the locked state by the panel retainer 162a or to remove the second outer rail 503 from the panel 200. Therefore, making the removal of the rail decoration frame 410 difficult in this way and making replacement of the elastic member 600 difficult can prevent cheating on the elastic member 600.

  Further, as shown in FIGS. 12A and 12B, when the pachinko gaming machine 1 is viewed from the front, the left end LT of the first outer rail 502 is the inner side surface of the opened glass door frame 50. It is located on the left side of the virtual extended surface GT that includes it. Thereby, in a state where the game board 2 is assembled to the gaming machine frame 3, when attempting to remove the rail decoration frame 410 to which the first outer rail 502 is attached, the glass door frame 50 is largely opened. If the first outer rail 502 is to be removed to the front even if it is largely opened, the left portion of the first outer rail may come in contact with the glass door frame 50. Removal of the rail decoration frame 410 becomes difficult. Thereby, replacement of the elastic member 600 can be made difficult, so that tampering with the elastic member 600 can be suppressed more suitably.

  Furthermore, although the rail decoration frame 410 is screwed to and fixed to the game board 2 using a plurality of screws N1, screw holes through which the screws N1 are inserted are drilled at a plurality of locations across the entire rail decoration frame 410. ing. For example, as shown in FIG. 12, the rail decoration frame 410 is positioned from the lower left side to the upper left side and further to the upper right side of the game area 10, but these lower left side, upper left side and upper right side Screw holes are also formed on the upper side and the left side of the area 10, and screwed and fixed to the game board 2 using a plurality of screws N1. For this reason, in the case of removing the rail decoration frame 410 and replacing the elastic member 600 to change the rebound amount and angle of the game ball, it takes time to remove all the plurality of screws N1. Since the intention to do is diminished, the occurrence of the fraud can be suppressed.

  As described above, in the pachinko gaming machine 1 according to the embodiment of the present invention, the elastic member 600 which is the colliding object to which the game medium collides, and the elastic member 600 attached to the game board 2 A rail decoration frame 410 which is a rail decoration frame 410 which is held at a predetermined position of 2 and a rail pressing piece 174 of a panel holding member 162a which is a second holding body which holds the rail decoration frame 410 attached to the game board 2; 2 Outer rail 503, screw N1, and glass door frame 50 are provided. In this way, the stability of the rail decorative frame 410 is improved by holding the elastic frame 600 holding the elastic member 600 by the second holding members in a state where the rail decorative frame 410 is attached to the game board. It can be suppressed that the game property is lost due to the positional deviation of the elastic member 600.

  Further, in the embodiment, the rail decoration frame 410 releases the holding state by the second holding members, for example, the glass door frame 50 is opened, and the panel press fitting 162a, the second outer rail 503, and the screw N1. The game board 2 can not be removed unless it is removed. By doing this, it is possible to prevent the rail decoration frame 410 from being easily removed from the game board 2.

  Further, in the embodiment, the rail decorative frame 410 is the plate-like portion 425 and the projecting portion 422 of the first holding portion 421 of the rail decorative frame 410, which is a restricting portion that restricts positional deviation from the holding position of the elastic member 600. An engagement projection 428 of the second holding portion 423 is provided. By doing this, it is possible to suppress the game characteristic from being impaired due to the positional deviation of the elastic member 600 with respect to the rail decoration frame 410. Further, since the engaging projection 428 is engaged with the back surface 606 of the elastic member 600 and the elastic member 600 is difficult to be removed, it is possible to suppress an action of illegally replacing the elastic member 600.

  Further, in the embodiment, the restricting portion is an abutting surface with which the elastic member 600 abuts in a state where the elastic member 600 is held, and a plurality of the abutting surfaces which are different in direction from each other. An inner side surface (rear surface) of the plate-like portion 425 in the first holding portion 421 and a surface in contact with the elastic member 600 in the second holding portion 423 are formed. By doing so, the colliding body can be pressed by a plurality of contact surfaces having different orientations, so positional deviation of the colliding body can be suitably suppressed. In particular, as shown in FIG. 9A, when the game ball P moving along the first outer rail 502 collides with the collision surface 601, the game ball P moves slightly away from the first outer rail 502. When the game ball P collides with the collided surface 601, the position where the collision occurs with the collided surface 601 is different, and the elastic member 600 is rotated around the projecting portion 422 due to such a displacement of the collision position. The resulting positional deviation is prevented.

  Further, in the embodiment, the rail decoration frame 410 is a protrusion 422 of the first holding portion 421 of the rail decoration frame 410 which is a holding pin inserted into the through hole 602 which is an insertion hole formed in the elastic member 600. The protrusion 422 has an outer diameter at the base in the projecting direction on the base side that is larger than the outer diameter at the tip on the tip side. By doing this, the durability of the holding pin against the impact generated on the elastic member 600 can be enhanced.

  Further, in the embodiment, the rail decoration frame 410 is a protrusion 422 of the first holding portion 421 of the rail decoration frame 410 which is a holding pin inserted into the through hole 602 which is an insertion hole formed in the elastic member 600. And a hollow portion 426 is formed inside the protrusion 422. By doing this, the strength of the protruding portion 422 is increased, so that the durability is improved.

  Further, in the embodiment, the elastic member 600 is held by the rail decoration frame 410 so that at least the collision surface 601 which is a collision portion where the game ball collides is positioned outside the rail decoration frame 410. By doing this, it is possible to suppress that the game ball collides with the rail decoration frame 410 and the rail decoration frame 410 is broken.

  Although the embodiments of the present invention have been described above with reference to the drawings, the specific configuration is not limited to these embodiments, and any changes or additions may be made without departing from the scope of the present invention. Be

  For example, although the embodiment to which the elastic member 600 made of a rubber material is applied is exemplified as an example of the collided body in the embodiment, the present invention is not limited to this, and the collided body is limited to an elastic body. For example, it may be made of a synthetic resin material.

  Further, although the embodiment in which the rail decoration frame 410 is applied is exemplified as the first holding body for holding the elastic member 600 at the predetermined position of the game board 2 in the embodiment, the present invention is not limited to this. The other rail members such as the second outer rail 503 and the inner rail 501 may be used. Moreover, not only the rail member but also a member provided only for holding the elastic member 600 may be used. Furthermore, the center decoration frame 52, the 1st guidance member unit 300, the 2nd guidance member unit 301, the 3rd guidance member unit 302, etc. should just be a member which a game ball can collide frequently. In the case of using the center decoration frame 52, for example, it is conceivable that the elastic member 600 is provided at the upper left (so-called knocking position) so that the game ball entering the game area 10 may collide.

  Further, in the above embodiment, as the second holding body for holding the rail decoration frame 410 attached to the game board 2, the embodiment in which the board pressing hardware 162 a and the second outer rail 503 are applied is exemplified. For example, other rail members may be applied, and game balls such as the center decoration frame 52, the first guiding member unit 300, the second guiding member unit 301, and the third guiding member unit 302. A guide member or the like may be applied.

  Further, in the above embodiment, the panel holding member 162a as the second holding body for holding the rail decoration frame 410 attached to the game board 2 and the second outer rail 503 are the game board surface 200A side from the front of the rail decoration frame 410 Although it was a member which holds so as to be pushed to the side, the present invention is not limited to this, and even if it is a member which holds a plurality of places on the side surface of the rail decoration frame 410 from the side Good.

  Further, in the embodiment described above, the panel holding member 162a as the second holding body for holding the rail decorative frame 410 attached to the game board 2 and the second outer rail 503 are members that are held in contact with the rail decorative frame 410. Although the present invention is not limited to this, the present invention may be a member which is disposed in the vicinity of the rail decoration frame 410 and held so as not to cause a predetermined positional deviation or more.

  Further, in the above embodiment, the screw N1 for attaching the rail decoration frame 410 to the game board 2 exemplifies a form which can be removed without releasing the holding state by the panel press fitting 162a and the second outer rail 503. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and it may be provided so that it can not be removed unless the holding state by the presser hardware 162a and the second outer rail 503 is released.

  In the above embodiment, the rail decorative frame 410 can not be removed from the game board 2 unless the holding state by the presser hardware 162a and the second outer rail 503 is released. However, the present invention is limited to this. It is possible that the rail decoration frame 410 can be removed from the game board 2 by removing only the screw N1 without releasing the holding state by the board clamp 162a and the second outer rail 503. .

  In the above embodiment, the plurality of screws N1 for screwing and fixing the rail decorative frame 410 to the board 200 are of the same type, but the present invention is not limited to this, and different types are used. For example, a plus screw and a minus screw may be used in combination. As a result, since a plurality of tools are required to remove the plurality of screws N1 and it takes time and effort, it is possible to suppress a cheating attempt to replace the elastic member 600.

  Moreover, in the said Example, although it was set as the structure which shape | molds the rail decoration frame 410 and the center decoration frame 52 by another member, this invention is not limited to this, As shown in the modification 1 of FIG. Alternatively, the decorative frame 800 may be integrally molded. That is, the center decoration frame 52 and the rail decoration frame 410 may be connected via the plate-like side surface portion 811 provided along the game board 2 in the passage 810 in which the game balls move. By providing the decorative frame 800 having such a shape, it is possible to enlarge the parts and prevent the position of the elastic member 600 from shifting, and at the decorative frame 800, a portion 410 'corresponding to the rail decorative frame 410 and the center decorative frame The shape of the passage 810 through which the game ball passes can be stabilized between the portion 52 'corresponding to 52, and the positional relationship between the portion 410' corresponding to the rail decoration frame 410 and the passage 810 shifts. It is possible to suppress the loss of sex.

  Further, in the decorative frame 800, a protrusion 812 is formed on the surface facing the elastic member 600 at a portion connected from the side surface portion 811 of the passage 810 to the portion 410 ′ corresponding to the rail decorative frame 410. The elastic member 600 may be attached by press-fitting into a recess 608 formed in the member 600. By pressing the projection 812 into the recess 608 of the elastic member 600 as described above, the positional deviation of the elastic member 600 can be prevented.

  In the embodiment, the elastic member 600 has a substantially rectangular parallelepiped shape. However, the elastic member 600 is not limited to a substantially rectangular parallelepiped shape. For example, the elastic member 600 may be formed in line symmetry or point symmetry such as cube shape. For example, as shown in the second modification of FIG. 14, the elastic member 600 formed in a cubic shape has four surfaces where the through holes 602 are not bored as the surface 601 to be collided, and one collision surface 601 When the ball wears, the direction of the elastic member 600 may be changed to make the other colliding surface 601 the surface on which the game ball collides. As a result, even if a part of the elastic member 600 is cheated, it is possible to prevent the effect of the cheating by changing the direction of the elastic member 600. In addition, one elastic member 600 can be used for a long time.

  Further, in the surface (for example, the upper surface) orthogonal to the through hole 602 in the elastic member 600, a predetermined mark portion 610 is provided at a position corresponding to any of the plurality of collision surfaces 601 parallel to the through hole 602. Is preferred. In this way, if the collision surface 601 corresponding to the mark portion 610 is used as a reference, it becomes easy to understand which collision surface 601 is used. In addition, if the arrangement position of the mark portion 610 with respect to the rail decoration frame 410 is determined, it is specified that there is a possibility that fraudulent behavior has occurred when the arrangement position of the mark portion 610 with respect to the rail decoration frame 410 has changed. It will be easier.

  The mark portion 610 may be provided by coloring or indenting, or when the elastic member 600 is manufactured by die molding, when die removal is performed by pushing out with an ejector pin. You may use using the ejector pin trace etc. which are formed.

  Further, as shown in the third modification of FIG. 15, the second holding portion 423 of the rail decoration frame 410 is the back surface 606 of the elastic member 600 (the side opposite to the surface facing the first holding portion 421 of the elastic member 600). Engaging protrusion 428 may be formed to engage with the Thereby, position shift of elastic member 600 can be prevented.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 15, an abutment portion 607 may be formed on the back surface 606 of the elastic member 600 so as to protrude from the back surface 606 and abut on the game board 2. Thereby, position shift of elastic member 600 can be prevented.
