Therefore, as described above, by providing the mounting portion 403 with continuous ribs 404, the strength of the mounting portion 403 is improved and the mounting portion 403 is made difficult to be deformed, thereby making the mounting portion 403 durable. It is possible to improve the position accuracy of the transparent plate unit 300 with respect to the door frame 203.

In the mounting sheet metal 401, notches 405 are formed at the continuous portions of the mounting portion 403 and the mounted portion 402, respectively, separated from each other to the left and right. The notch 405 is opened vertically and forward.

The mounting sheet metal 401 is fixed to the frame portion 207 by, for example, screwing in a state where the mounted portion 402 is in contact with the rear surface of the frame portion 207. With the mounting sheet metal 401 fixed to the frame portion 207, the engaging portion 410 is inserted into the notch 405. Therefore, each portion of the mounting portion 403 in the mounting sheet metal 401 is positioned on the left and right of the engaging portions 410 and 410.

It is a figure.

[5-1. Overall configuration of fixed body]
The transparent plate unit (fixed body) 300 includes two front and rear transparent plates 301 and 301, and a holding member 302 that holds the transparent plates 301 and 301 in the outer peripheral portion (see FIGS. 27 to 29). The number of transparent plates 301 provided in the transparent plate unit 300 is arbitrary, and may be one or three or more. Further, when a plurality of transparent plates 301 are provided, the plurality of transparent plates 301 may be positioned apart from each other in the front-rear direction, or may be positioned in a state of being in contact with each other in the front-rear direction.

In the transparent plate unit 300, the transparent plates 301 and 301 and the holding member 302 are fixed by adhesion or the like, and a substantially sealed internal space 300a is formed between the transparent plates 301 and 301.

The transparent plate unit 300 is fixed to the door frame 203 with the outer peripheral portion pressed against the rear surface of the frame portion 207, and the transparent plate unit 300 is fixed to the door frame 203 when the transparent plate unit 300 is fixed to the door frame 203. The opening 219 of the door is closed from behind. This makes it possible to see through the game area 103a from the front surface via the transparent plate 301.

(Transparent plate and holding member)
As the transparent plate 301, for example, a glass plate is used. The transparent plate 301 is not limited to a glass plate, and any material thereof may be used as long as it is a transparent plate material having a predetermined strength. For example, the transparent plate 301 may be made of resin.
The transparent plate 301 is formed in a predetermined shape corresponding to the shape of the opening 219 of the door frame 203. In the transparent plate 301, for example, the upper edge is formed in an upwardly convex curved shape, the left and right side edges are formed in a straight line extending up and down except for a part, and the lower edge is formed in a straight line extending left and right. There is.
Further, the transparent plate 301 is formed in a shape having no sharp corners, and any of the boundary portion between the curved portion and the linear portion and the boundary portion between the linear portion and the linear portion on the outer peripheral edge. Is formed in a curved shape without being gently angular. Therefore, stress concentration is unlikely to occur at these boundaries on the outer peripheral edge of the transparent plate 301, and it is possible to improve the strength of the transparent plate 301 and prevent the occurrence of damage.

The holding member 302 is projected outward from the holding frame portion 303 that covers the outer peripheral portions of the transparent plates 301 and 301, the pressed portions 307 and 307 that protrude outward from the holding frame portion 303, and the holding frame portion 303. It has stopper portions 310, 310, engaging protrusions 311 and 311 protruding downward from the lower end of the holding frame portion 303, and protruding portions 313 protruding outward from the holding frame portion 303. There is.

The transparent plates 301 and 301 are fixed to the holding frame portion 303, for example, by adhesion or the like, and are held by the holding member 302.

(Holding part)
The holding frame portion 303 is formed in an annular shape as a whole so as to cover the outer peripheral portions of the transparent plates 301 and 301 from the outside. As shown in FIG. 29, the holding frame portion 303 has a gap holding portion 304 that holds a gap between the two transparent plates 301 and 301, and one end portion of the gap holding portion 304 in a cross-sectional shape that is orthogonal to the circumferential direction. It has a first holding portion 305 that is continuous and orthogonal to the spacing holding portion 304, and a second holding portion 306 that is continuous to the other end of the spacing holding portion 304 and orthogonal to the spacing holding portion 304. ing. The first pressing portion 305 and the second pressing portion 306 project in opposite directions from the spacing holding portion 304.

In the state where the transparent plate 301 is held by the holding frame portion 303, the outer peripheral surface of the transparent plate 301 is pressed from the outside by the first pressing portion 305 and the second pressing portion 306, and the inner surface of the outer peripheral portion of the transparent plate 301 is pressed. Is in contact with the interval holding portion 304.
In this way, the transparent plates 301 and 301 are held by the holding member 302 with an internal space 300a between them at a predetermined interval in the state of being held by the holding member 302.

Therefore, when an impact is applied to one of the transparent plates 301, it is difficult for the impact to be transmitted to the other transparent plate 301, and it is possible to prevent damage or cracking due to the improvement of the impact resistance of the transparent plate 301. In particular, the transparent plate 301 located on the front side is in a state where the player's hand or the like can easily come into contact with the transparent plate 301 during the game, but the rear side is provided with an internal space 300a on the rear side of the transparent plate 301 located on the front side. Since the transparent plate 301 on the side exists, even if the transparent plate 301 on the front side is damaged, the transparent plate 301 on the rear side is unlikely to be damaged, and the game board 103 located behind the transparent plate 301 on the rear side is protected. It is also possible to ensure the safety of the player.

Further, in order to reduce the transmission of impact from the transparent plate 301 located on the front side to the transparent plate 301 located on the rear side, the holding member 302 is made of a resin material having high impact absorption and has high impact resistance. It is preferably formed of a resin material.

In the state where the transparent plates 301 and 301 are held by the holding member 302, the rear end surface of the second pressing portion 306 of the holding member 302 is located on the rear side of the rear surface of the transparent plate 301 which is located on the rear side. ing. Therefore, in the transparent plate unit 300, a space opened rearward is formed behind the transparent plate 301 located on the rear side, and this space is formed as the rear space 300b.
As described above, the rear end surface of the second pressing portion 306 is positioned on the rear side of the rear surface of the transparent plate 301 located on the rear side to form the rear space 300b, whereby the rear side of the transparent plate 301 is formed. The transparent plate 301 on the rear side does not come into contact with the game board 103 located at the center, and damage to the transparent plate 301 can be prevented.

Further, the height of the game board 103 from the board surface of the nail 149, the windmill 147, etc. may change due to the adjustment, and even if the height from the board surface of the nail 149, the windmill 147, etc. changes due to the adjustment, the rear space Due to the presence of the 300b, the nail 149, the wind turbine 147, and the like do not come into contact with the transparent plate 301 located on the rear side. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the occurrence of defects such as the fall of the nail 149 and the wind turbine 147, and it is possible to prevent the transparent plate 301 from being damaged.

The holding frame portion 303 is composed of a plurality of portions as follows in the circumferential direction. The holding frame portion 303 includes side portions 303a and 303b, a lower portion 303c, an upper portion 303d, an inclined portion 303e, an arc portion 303f, and a curved portion 303g (see FIGS. 27 and 28).

The locking portion 309 includes a changeless portion 309a whose peripheral surface is parallel to the central axis, and a diameter change portion 309b which is continuous with the rear end of the changeless portion 309a and whose diameter increases toward the rear.
The positioning hole 308 and the locking portion 309 communicate with the insertion portion 308a and the unchanged portion 309a in the front-rear direction.

An inclined portion 312 that is displaced forward as it goes outward is formed at the rear end portion of the outer peripheral portion of the pressed portion 307.

(Stopper part)
The stopper portions 310 and 310 are projected rearward from the pressed portions 307 and 307, respectively, and are projected outward from the holding frame portion 303. The stopper portion 310 is continuously provided on the upper portion 303d and the pressed portion 307 between the locking portion 309 and the upper portion 303d of the holding frame portion 303.
The stopper portion 310 is formed in a chevron shape, and the thickness direction is in the front-rear direction. The stopper portion 310 has an upper surface 310a, a slope 310b, a rear surface 310c, and a top upper surface 310d, and is smaller in size than the pressed portion 307.

The rear surface 310c is a surface facing rearward in the thickness direction, and the upper surface 310a, the slope 310b, and the top upper surface 310d are each part of the outer peripheral surface. The top surface 310d is located between the top surface 310a and the slope 310b, and is in a state of facing upward and diagonally sideways.
The stopper portion 310 is projected from the upper portion 303d of the holding frame portion 303 in the same direction as the projected direction of the pressed portion 307, and the front surface thereof is continuous with the rear surface of the pressed portion 307. The slope 310b of the stopper portion 310 is in a state of facing downward and diagonally sideways.

The stopper portion 310 regulates excessive rotation of the variable member when the variable member described later, which functions as a fixing means 600 to be rotated when the transparent plate unit 300 is fixed to the opening / closing body 200, is rotated. Has the function of

Further, the stopper portion 310 also has a function as a handle, and is used in the fixing work of fixing the transparent plate unit 300 to the opening / closing body 200 and the fixing release work of releasing the fixing of the transparent plate unit 300 from the opening / closing body 200. It can be used as a handle by hanging a finger.
For example, by hooking a finger on the stopper portions 310 and 310 to grip the transparent plate unit 300, the transparent plate unit 300 can be easily held, and the transparent plate unit 300 can be opened and closed in the fixing work of the transparent plate unit 300 to the opening / closing body 200. It can be easily fixed to the body 200. Further, by holding the transparent plate unit 300 with fingers on the stopper portions 310 and 310, respectively, the transparent plate unit 300 can be easily removed from the opening / closing body 200 in the work of releasing the fixing of the transparent plate unit 300 from the opening / closing body 200. Will be possible.
At this time, as described above, since the slope 310b of the stopper portion 310 is in a state of facing downward and diagonally sideways, it becomes easier for the operator to put a finger on the stopper portion 310, and workability can be improved. can.

Further, the stopper portion 310 is integrally formed with the holding frame portion 303 and the pressed portion 307, and the holding frame portion 303 and the pressed portion 307 are also integrally formed. Therefore, the strength of the stopper portion 310, the holding frame portion 303, and the pressed portion 307 is high, and when the stopper portion 310 is gripped, the stopper portion 310, the holding frame portion 303, and the pressed portion 307 are not easily deformed, and the transparent plate unit 300 It is possible to improve workability in the work of fixing the transparent plate unit 200 to the opening / closing body 200 and to secure a stable fixing state of the transparent plate unit 300 to the opening / closing body 200.

The rear surface 310c of the stopper portion 310 is located on the front side of the rear surface of the holding frame portion 303. By positioning the rear surface of the stopper portion 310 on the front side of the rear surface of the holding frame portion 303 in this way, various operations such as nail 149 can be performed while the operator opens the opening / closing body 200 with respect to the support 100. When making adjustments and the like, it becomes difficult for an operator's hand or the like to accidentally come into contact with the stopper portion 310, and workability in these various operations can be improved.

(Engagement protrusion)
The engaging protrusions 311 and 311 are projected downward from the left and right ends of the lower portion 303c of the holding frame portion 303, respectively. The engaging protrusion 311 is formed in a horizontally long shape, and is a portion to be inserted into the engaging hole 411 of the transparent plate mounting means 400 when the transparent plate unit 300 is fixed to the door frame 203. The engaging protrusion 311 is integrally formed with the holding frame portion 303, and has high strength.

(Protruding part)
The protruding portion 313 projects outward from the arc portion 303f of the holding frame portion 303 and is formed in a substantially isosceles triangle shape (see FIGS. 27 and 28). The protruding portion 313 has a lower surface portion 313a facing downward and a side surface portion 313b facing sideways, and is projected outward from a substantially latter half portion of the arc portion 303f. Therefore, the protruding portion 313 is thinner than the holding frame portion 303. The protruding portion 313 is integrally formed with the holding frame portion 303, and has high strength.

(Fixed state of transparent plate unit to open / close body)
The transparent plate unit 300 configured as described above is fixed to the opening / closing body 200 as follows (see FIGS. 17, 33 and 34).

The lower end of the transparent plate unit 300 is mounted on the transparent plate mounting means 400 (see FIGS. 33 and 34), and the transparent plate unit 300 functions as the transparent plate units 300 and 300 on the pressed portions 307 and 307 provided on the upper portion, respectively. The variable members (601A, 601A) are locked and fixed to the opening / closing body 200 by being pressed against the door frame 203 from the rear by the variable members (see FIG. 17).

The variable member that presses the transparent plate unit 300 against the door frame 203 may be a variable member (601, 601B) other than the variable member 601A, and the details of these variable members 601A, 601 and 601B will be described later.
Further, details and procedures of fixing the transparent plate unit 300 to the opening / closing body 200 will be described later.

[5-2. Each dimension of the pressed part]
Hereinafter, each dimension of each part of the pressed portion 307 will be described (see FIG. 35).
As described above, the pressed portion 307 is formed with a positioning hole 308 that opens forward and a locking portion 309 that opens rearward. The positioning hole 308 consists of an insertion portion 308a whose peripheral surface is parallel to the central axis and a guide portion 308b whose diameter increases as it goes forward, and the locking portion 309 includes an unchanged portion 309a whose peripheral surface is parallel to the central axis and the rear. It is composed of a diameter changing portion 309b whose diameter increases as it goes to. The positioning hole 308 and the locking portion 309 communicate with the insertion portion 308a and the unchanged portion 309a in the front-rear direction.

A positioning protrusion (507), which will be described later, provided in the opening / closing body 200 when the transparent plate unit 300 is fixed to the opening / closing body 200 is inserted into the positioning hole 308 to position the transparent plate unit 300 with respect to the opening / closing body 200. Will be done. The diameter of the positioning protrusion 507 is formed in a columnar shape slightly smaller than the diameter of the positioning hole 308.

When the transparent plate unit 300 is fixed to the opening / closing body 200, a holding protrusion (603) of a variable member to be described later supported by the opening / closing body 200 is inserted into the locking portion 309, and the opening / closing body of the transparent plate unit 300 is inserted. Fixation to 200 is performed. The pressing protrusion 603 is projected forward and the outer surface is formed into a curved surface.

Further, the pressed portion 307 is formed with an inclined portion 312 that is displaced forward as it goes outward. When the variable member is moved (rotated) when the transparent plate unit 300 is fixed to the opening / closing body 200, the variable member is bent and elastically deformed so that the holding protrusion 603 is inclined to the inclined portion 312. It rides on 312 and slides.

The diameter of the insertion portion 308a in the positioning hole 308 is R1, the maximum diameter of the diameter change portion 309b in the locking portion 309 is R2, the diameter of the unchanged portion 309a in the locking portion 309 is R3, and the guide in the positioning hole 308. The inclination angle of the portion 308b is θ1, and the inclination angle of the diameter changing portion 309b in the locking portion 309 is θ2.

The depth of the insertion portion 308a in the positioning hole 308 is T1, the depth of the guide portion 308b in the positioning hole 308 is T2, the depth of the unchanged portion 309a in the locking portion 309 is T3, and the diameter in the locking portion 309. Let the depth of the changing portion 309b be T4.

The tilt angle of the guide portion 308b in the positioning hole 308 is θ1, the tilt angle of the diameter changing portion 309b in the locking portion 309 is θ2, and the tilt angle of the tilted portion 312 with respect to the rear surface of the pressed portion 307 is θ3.

"Specified dimensions"
The diameters, angles and depths specified above are as follows.
R1: Diameter of insertion portion 308a R2: Maximum diameter of diameter changing portion 309b R3: Diameter of unchanged portion 309a θ1: Tilt angle of guide portion 308b θ2: Tilt angle of diameter changing portion 309b θ3: Tilt angle of tilted portion 312 T1: Depth of insertion portion 308a T2: Depth of guide portion 308b T3: Depth of unchanged portion 309a T4: Depth of diameter changing portion 309b

"Solution"
In the gaming machine 1, the transparent plate unit 300 secures the high strength of the pressed portion 307, secures a stable fixed state of the transparent plate unit 300 to the opening / closing body 200, and fixes the transparent plate unit 300 to the opening / closing body 200. It is necessary to improve the workability at the time. Therefore, the dimensions (R, θ, T) of each portion of the pressed portion 307 are set as follows.

"Diameter R size"
(Comparison of all Rs)
In the pressed portion 307, the diameter R1 of the insertion portion 308a is made larger than the maximum diameter R2 of the diameter changing portion 309b, and the maximum diameter R2 of the diameter changing portion 309b is made larger than the diameter R3 of the unchanged portion 309a.
Therefore, the relationship is R1>R2> R3.

(About R1> R2 and R3)
In the pressed portion 307, the diameter R1 of the insertion portion 308a is made larger than the maximum diameter R2 of the diameter changing portion 309b and the diameter R3 of the unchanged portion 309a.

The entire positioning protrusion 507 is inserted into the positioning hole 308, and when an impact or vibration is applied to the transparent plate unit 300, the applied impact or vibration is transmitted from the pressed portion 307 to the positioning protrusion 507. Therefore, if the diameter of the positioning protrusion 507 is small, the positioning protrusion 507 may be damaged or tilted. Therefore, the positioning protrusion 507 needs to have a diameter larger than a certain size, and the insertion portion must be set accordingly. It is desirable that the diameter R1 of 308a is also increased. In particular, the transparent plate unit 300 has two transparent plates 301 and 301 made of glass or the like and is heavy, so that the impact and vibration transmitted from the pressed portion 307 to the positioning protrusion 507 are also large. There is a possibility of becoming.

On the other hand, if the diameter R1 of the insertion portion 308a, the maximum diameter R2 of the diameter change portion 309b, and the diameter R3 of the unchanged portion 309a are both large, the space volume in the pressed portion 307 becomes large and the strength of the pressed portion 307 increases. It will drop.

Therefore, as described above, the diameter R1 of the insertion portion 308a into which the positioning protrusion 507 is inserted is made larger than the maximum diameter R2 of the diameter changing portion 309b and the diameter R3 of the unchanged portion 309a so that R1> R2 and R3. As a result, it is possible to prevent the positioning protrusion 507 from being damaged or tilted, and to improve the strength of the pressed portion 307 by preventing the space volume of the pressed portion 307 from becoming large.

"Magnitude of angle θ"
(Comparison of all θ)
In the pressed portion 307, the tilt angle θ1 of the guide portion 308b is made larger than the tilt angle θ2 of the diameter change portion 309b, and the tilt angle θ3 of the tilt portion 312 is smaller than the tilt angle θ2 of the diameter change portion 309b.
Therefore, the relationship is set to θ1>θ2> θ3.

(About θ1> θ2)
In the pressed portion 307, the inclination angle θ1 of the guide portion 308b is made larger than the inclination angle θ2 of the diameter change portion 309b.

The guide portion 308b has a function of guiding the positioning protrusion 507 toward the insertion portion 308a when the transparent plate unit 300 is fixed to the opening / closing body 200, and the tilt angle of the guide portion 308b is increased to increase the inclination angle of the guide portion 308b. It is desirable to increase the size of the opening diameter to ensure that the positioning protrusion 507 is inserted into the insertion portion 308a.

On the other hand, a holding protrusion 603 of a variable member for fixing the transparent plate unit 300 to the opening / closing body 200 is inserted into the locking portion 309, and the pressed portion 307 has an outer surface of the holding protrusion 603 formed in a curved surface. It is pressed against the opening / closing body 200 side in a state of being in contact with the diameter changing portion 309b. Therefore, even when an impact or vibration is applied to the transparent plate unit 300 or the variable member, the inclination angle of the diameter changing portion 309b is reduced so that the pressing protrusion 603 does not come off from the locking portion 309. Is desirable.

Therefore, as described above, by making the inclination angle θ1 of the guide portion 308b larger than the inclination angle θ2 of the diameter change portion 309b so that θ1> θ2, the positioning protrusion 507 can be reliably inserted into the insertion portion 308a. At the same time, even when an impact or vibration is applied to the transparent plate unit 300 or the variable member, the holding protrusion 603 is prevented from coming off from the locking portion 309, and the transparent plate unit 300 is stably fixed to the opening / closing body 200. Can be secured.

(About θ3 <θ2)
In the pressed portion 307, the tilt angle θ3 of the tilt portion 312 is made smaller than the tilt angle θ2 of the diameter change portion 309b.

The inclined portion 312 has a function of guiding the positioning protrusion 507 toward the locking portion 309 when the transparent plate unit 300 is fixed to the opening / closing body 200, and the variable member can be smoothly moved (rotated). It is desirable to reduce the tilt angle of the tilted portion 312, but if the tilt angle of the tilted portion 312 is made too small, the height difference between one end P1 and the other end P2 in the tilting direction becomes too small, and the variable member moves (rotates). ) Sometimes it may not get on the inclined portion 312.
Further, in order to ensure that the variable member rides on the inclined portion 312 with the inclined portion 312 reduced, the distance between one end P1 and the other end P2 of the inclined portion 312 must be increased. However, the pressed portion 307 becomes large.

On the other hand, as described above, the diameter changing portion 309b is inclined so that the pressing protrusion 603 does not come off from the locking portion 309 even when the transparent plate unit 300 or the variable member is subjected to impact or vibration. It is desirable that the angle be small.

Therefore, as described above, by making the tilt angle θ3 of the tilted portion 312 smaller than the tilt angle θ2 of the diameter changing portion 309b so that θ3 <θ2, the positioning protrusion portion does not increase in size of the pressed portion 307. The 507 can be reliably guided toward the locking portion 309, and the holding protrusion 603 can be prevented from coming off from the locking portion 309 even when an impact or vibration is applied to the transparent plate unit 300 or the variable member. It is possible to secure a stable fixed state of the transparent plate unit 300 with respect to the opening / closing body 200.

"The size of depth T"
(Comparison of all Ts)
In the pressed portion 307, the depth T2 of the guide portion 308b is made smaller than the depth T4 of the diameter change portion 309b, and the total of the depth T1 of the insertion portion 308a and the depth T2 of the guide portion 308b is the unchanged portion 309a. It is substantially the same as the sum of the depth T3 and the depth T4 of the diameter changing portion 309b.
Therefore, the relationship is T2 <T4, T1 + T2 = T3 + T4.

(About T2 <T4)
In the pressed portion 307, the depth T2 of the guide portion 308b is made smaller than the depth T4 of the diameter changing portion 309b.

The guide portion 308b has a function of guiding the positioning protrusion 507 toward the insertion portion 308a when the transparent plate unit 300 is fixed to the opening / closing body 200, and guides the positioning protrusion 507 toward the insertion portion 308a. Does not need to be deep. Further, since the entire positioning protrusion 507 is inserted into the positioning hole 308, it is desirable that the depth is deepened in order to reliably insert the positioning protrusion 507, but the depth of the positioning hole 308 is too deep. As a result, the space volume of the pressed portion 307 becomes large, and the strength of the pressed portion 307 may decrease.

On the other hand, since the holding protrusion 603 of the variable member for fixing the transparent plate unit 300 to the opening / closing body 200 is inserted into the locking portion 309 and locked, the transparent plate unit 300 and the variable member are subject to impact and vibration. It is desirable to increase the depth of the diameter changing portion 309b so that the pressing protrusion 603 does not come off from the locking portion 309 even in the applied state.

Therefore, as described above, in the pressed portion 307, the depth T2 of the guide portion 308b is made smaller than the depth T4 of the diameter changing portion 309b so that T2> T4, so that the positioning protrusion 507 is inserted into the insertion portion 308a. The opening / closing body of the transparent plate unit 300 can be reliably inserted into the transparent plate unit 300 and the transparent plate unit 300 can be prevented from coming off from the locking portion 309 even when an impact or vibration is applied to the transparent plate unit 300 or the variable member. A stable fixed state with respect to 200 can be ensured.

(About T1 + T2 = T3 + T4)
In the pressed portion 307, the total depth of the depth T1 of the insertion portion 308a and the depth T2 of the guide portion 308b is the total depth of the depth T3 of the unchanged portion 309a and the depth T4 of the diameter changing portion 309b. It is almost the same depth.

The total depth of the depth T1 of the insertion portion 308a and the depth T2 of the guide portion 308b is the depth of the positioning hole 308, which is equal to the thickness of the rear end side of the pressed portion 307 in which the positioning hole 308 is formed, and is absent. The total depth of the depth T3 of the changing portion 309a and the depth T4 of the diameter changing portion 309b is the depth of the locking portion 309 and is equal to the thickness of the pressed portion 307 on which the locking portion 309 is formed. ..

On the other hand, the entire positioning protrusion 507 is inserted into the positioning hole 308, but in a state where the transparent plate unit 300 is positioned on the opening / closing body 200 and the transparent plate unit 300 is fixed to the opening / closing body 200, the pressed portion 307 The front surface needs to be pressed against the rear surface of the door frame 203. Therefore, in order for the front surface of the pressed portion 307 to be pressed against the rear surface of the door frame 203, it is necessary to prevent the rear surface of the positioning protrusion 507 from coming into contact with the bottom surface of the insertion portion 308a. The depth T1 needs to be sufficiently deep.
However, if the depth of the positioning hole 308 is too deep, the space volume of the pressed portion 307 may increase and the strength of the pressed portion 307 may decrease.

Therefore, as described above, the total depth of the depth T1 of the insertion portion 308a and the depth T2 of the guide portion 308b is the total depth of the depth T3 of the unchanged portion 309a and the depth T4 of the diameter changing portion 309b. By making the depths substantially the same, the thickness of the rear end side of the pressed portion 307 on which the positioning hole 308 is formed is not unnecessarily thinned while ensuring a sufficient depth of the insertion portion 308a. The high strength of the portion 307 can be ensured.

<6. Configuration and operation of fixed collaborative means and fixed means>
Next, the fixing collaborative means 500 and the fixing means 600 that function for fixing the transparent plate unit 300 to the door frame 203 of the opening / closing body 200 will be described. The fixing means 600 is a means for fixing the transparent plate unit 300 to the door frame 203 while being mounted on the transparent plate mounting means 400.
In the following description, of the rear surfaces of the door frame 203, the surface in contact with the front surface of the pressed portion 307 of the transparent plate unit 300 will be described as the base surface 203a.

[6-1. First Embodiment]
First, the configuration of the fixing means 600 and the like in the first embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 36 to 38.
FIG. 36 is a rear view showing the transparent plate unit, the fixing means on one of the left and right sides, the fixing collaborative means, and the like, and FIG. 37 is a rear view showing a state in which the pressing protrusion is in contact with the pressed portion of the transparent plate unit. 38 is a perspective view showing the transparent plate unit, the fixing means on one of the left and right sides, the fixing collaborative means, and the like.
The fixing means 600, 600 are provided at positions substantially symmetrical with respect to the center line K in the left-right direction of the door frame 203, and are formed in a line-symmetrical shape (see FIG. 16).

(Structure of fixing means)
The fixing means 600 in the first embodiment has, for example, a variable member 601 formed of a resin (see FIGS. 36, 37, 38, etc.).
The variable member 601 has a moving plate 602, a holding protrusion 603, a movement restricting portion 604, and a handle portion 605. The moving plate 602 is formed in a substantially rectangular flat plate shape, and is movable in the vertical direction with respect to the guide frame 550 described later.

The holding protrusion 603 projects from one end of the moving plate 602 in the longitudinal direction toward the door frame 203. The transparent plate unit 300 is fixed to the door frame 203 by the variable member 601 by engaging the holding protrusion 603 in a state of being inserted into the locking portion 309 of the transparent plate unit 300.

The movement restricting portion 604 is projected from the end portion of the moving plate 602 opposite to the holding protrusion 603 in the longitudinal direction toward the door frame 203 side. When the movement regulating unit 604 comes into contact with the first regulating means 503 and the third regulating means 505, which will be described later, a load is applied to the variable member 601 and by contacting the fourth regulating means 506, the variable member 601 moves. Be regulated.

The handle portion 605 protrudes from the rear surface 602a of the moving plate 602 toward the game board 103 at the central portion in the longitudinal direction of the moving plate 602. The handle portion 605 is a portion gripped by the operator when moving the variable member 601. By manually operating the handle portion 605 gripped by the operator, the variable member 601 moves in the vertical direction.

A guide frame 550 is attached to the base surface 203a of the door frame 203. The guide frame 550 is provided as a part of the fixed collaborative means 500 (see FIG. 38 and the like).
The guide frame 550 has a guide wall 551, a fixing plate 552, 552, and a regulation plate 553, and is integrally formed by each part.
The guide wall 551 has a right side wall 551a, a left side wall 551b, and a regulation wall 551c, which are formed in a plate shape, respectively. It faces in the vertical direction and connects the upper end portion of the right side wall 551a and the upper end portion of the left side wall 551b.

The fixing plates 552 and 552 project in a direction away from each other from the ends of the right side wall 551a and the left side wall 551b on the door frame 203 side, respectively.
The regulation plate 553 is formed in a U-shape that extends inward from the end of the guide wall 551 on the game board 103 side and opens downward.
The guide frame 550 is attached to the door frame 203 by screwing the fixing plate 552 or the like.
The variable member 601 is restricted from moving toward the game board 103 by covering a part of the moving plate 602 from the rear by the restricting plate 551, and is restricted from moving upward by the restricting wall 551c, and the right side wall 551a and the left side wall. The movement in the left-right direction is restricted by 551b.

From the above, the variable member 601 can be moved in the vertical direction with respect to the base surface 203a. When the variable member 601 moves, it is guided by the guide frame 550.
By moving the variable member 601 in the vertical direction, the transparent plate unit 300 is attached to and detached from the door frame 203 by the variable member 601.
The guide frame 550 can be integrally formed with the door frame 203. As a result, the number of parts can be reduced and the manufacturing cost of the gaming machine 1 can be reduced. Further, by integrally forming the guide frame 550 with the door frame 203, high positional accuracy of the guide frame 550 with respect to the door frame 203 can be ensured.

(Structure of fixed collaborative means)
The door frame 203 is provided with the fixed collaborative means 500. In addition to the guide frame 550 described above, the fixed collaborative means 500 has a first regulating means 503, a third regulating means 505, and a fourth regulating means 506 protruding from the base surface 203a toward the game board 103. (See FIGS. 39, 40, 41, etc.). The first regulating means 503, the third regulating means 505, and the fourth regulating means 506 are provided in the inner region of the guide frame 550 in the base surface 203a. Further, the regulation wall 551c of the guide frame 550 functions as a second regulation means 504.
The second regulating means 504 may be integrally provided on the door frame 203. As a result, the position accuracy of the second regulating means 504 with respect to the base surface 203a of the door frame 203 becomes high, so that the position accuracy regarding the moving position of the variable means 601 can be improved.
Further, the first regulating means 503, the third regulating means 505, and the fourth regulating means 506 can be integrally formed on the door frame 203. Thereby, the positional accuracy of the first regulating means 503, the third regulating means 505, and the fourth regulating means 506 can be improved. Therefore, the movement of the variable member 601 can be reliably regulated with high position accuracy.
The second regulating means 504, the first regulating means 503, the third regulating means 505, and the fourth regulating means 506 are provided apart from each other in order from the upper side to the lower side.

The second regulating means 504 regulates the excessive movement of the variable member 601 in the upward direction. The variable member 601 is restricted from moving upward by the upper surface 602c of the moving plate 602 coming into contact with the regulating wall 551c of the guide frame 550 functioning as the second regulating means 504 from below.
Further, the upward movement of the variable member 601 is restricted by the movement restricting unit 604 of the moving plate 602 coming into contact with the fourth regulating means 506 from above (see FIG. 41 and the like).

The first regulating means 503 is formed so that a movement regulating portion 604 protruding from the moving plate 602 can be mounted on the first regulating means 503. Therefore, for example, when the moving plate 602 moves from the lower side to the upper side, the movement restricting unit 604 slides on the first regulating means 503, so that the moving momentum of the variable member 601 is weakened (FIG. 40). Etc.).

When the variable member 601 is moved from the lower side to the upper side, when the movement restricting unit 604 rides on the first restricting means 503 and then the upward moving force is released, the movement restricting unit 604 is first regulated by its own weight. It contacts the means 503 from above. As a result, the variable member 601 is held in a state of being supported by the guide frame 550.

The third regulating means 505 is formed so that the movement regulating portion 604 protruding from the moving plate 602 can be mounted on the third regulating means 505. Therefore, for example, when the moving plate 602 moves from the upper side to the lower side, the movement restricting portion 604 slides on the third regulating means 505, so that the moving momentum of the variable member 601 is weakened (FIG. 46). Etc.).

When the variable member 601 is moved from the upper side to the lower side, when the movement restricting unit 604 rides on the third restricting means 505 and then the downward moving force is released, the movement restricting unit 604 is restricted by its own weight. It contacts the means 506 from above. As a result, the variable member 601 is held in a state of being supported by the guide frame 550.

In the fourth regulating means 506, the amount of protrusion from the base surface 203a is made larger than the amount of protrusion from the base surface 203a of the first regulating means 503 and the third regulating means 505, and the movement restricting unit 604 cannot ride on. (See Fig. 50, etc.).
The movement restricting unit 604 comes into contact with the fourth restricting means 506 from above to restrict the downward movement of the variable member 601, and the variable member 601 is held so as not to fall off from the guide frame 550.

The tip surface of the first regulating means 503, the third regulating means 505, and the movement regulating portion 604 is formed in a curved surface shape so that the cross section of the tip portion in the left-right direction is hemispherical. As a result, when the variable member 601 is moved, the friction generated between the first regulating means 503, the third regulating means 505 and the movement regulating unit 604 can be reduced, and the variable member 601 can be smoothly moved. ..

The window frame 203 is provided with a columnar positioning protrusion 507 that projects rearward from the base surface 203a. The positioning protrusion 507 is located directly below the fourth regulating means 506. The positioning protrusion 507 is formed so as to be insertable into the positioning hole 308 of the transparent plate unit 300. By inserting the positioning protrusion 507 into the positioning hole 308, the transparent plate unit 300 can be easily positioned with respect to the door frame 203, and the transparent plate unit 300 can be easily and highly accurately attached to the door frame 203 by the variable member 601. Can be done.

(About movable position)
Next, the state of each movable position (moving position) of the variable member 601 will be described with reference to FIGS. 39 to 41. There are at least a first position, a second position, and a third position as movable positions of the variable member 601. The movable positions are the third position P3, the second position P2, and the first position P1 from above. It exists in order from the bottom. Here, for the sake of simplicity, the position of the variable member 601 is conveniently defined as the position of the center point of the pressing portion 603.
39 is a diagram illustrating a first position of the variable member, FIG. 40 is a diagram illustrating a second position of the variable member, and FIG. 41 is a diagram illustrating a third position of the variable member. .. In addition, FIGS. 39 to 41 are sectional views taken along the line (39)-(39) in FIG. 36.
The transparent plate unit 300 is mounted on the base surface 203a and fixed to the opening / closing body 200 in a state of being mounted and held on the transparent plate mounting means 400 as described above. Further, the variable members 601 exist on the left and right sides, and the transparent plate unit 300 is pressed against the door frame 203 by the variable members 601 on both sides to be mounted. However, only the operation of one of the variable members 601 will be described below.

The first position P1 of the variable member 601 is a position where the transparent plate unit 300 can be fixed to the door frame 203, and the holding protrusion 603 of the variable member 601 is formed on the pressed portion 307 of the transparent plate unit 300. It is a position where it is inserted (locked) into the locked locking portion 309 (see FIG. 39). At the first position P1, the movement restricting unit 604 is located between the third regulating means 505 and the fourth regulating means 506, and the first regulating means 503 and the second regulating means 504 with respect to the variable member 601. , The movement is not regulated by any of the third regulating means 505 and the fourth regulating means 506.

On the other hand, in the movable position of the variable member 601 other than the first position P1, the fixing of the transparent plate unit 300 to the door frame 203 by the variable member 601 can be released. For example, the variable member 601 can release the transparent plate unit 300 from the opening / closing body 200 at a predetermined position from the first position P1 to the second position P2 or the third position P3.

The second position P2 of the variable member 601 is in a certain range, and the position from when the movement restricting unit 604 comes into contact with the first restricting means 503 to when it gets over the first restricting means 503 corresponds to the second position P2 of the variable member 601. (See FIG. 40). At the second position P2, the holding protrusion 603 is released from the locking portion 309.

The third position P3 of the variable member 601 is the position of the upper end in the moving range, and the position where the upper surface 602c of the moving plate 602 contacts the regulating wall 551c functioning as the second regulating means 504 is the third position of the variable member 601. Corresponds to position P3 (see FIG. 41). Also at the third position P3, the locking of the pressing protrusion 603 to the locking portion 309 is released. At the third position, the movement regulating unit 604 is located between the first regulating means 503 and the second regulating means 504, and the first regulating means 503, the third regulating means 505, and the third regulating means 504 with respect to the variable member 601. Movement is not regulated by any of the regulating means 506 of 4.
By restricting the movement of the variable member 601 by the second restricting means 504 of the guide frame 550 at the third position P3, the excessive upward movement of the variable member 601 is restricted.

(Operation of variable member)
Next, the attachment / detachment operation (attachment / detachment work) of the transparent plate unit 300 by the variable member 601 to the door frame 203 in the opening / closing body 200 will be described with reference to FIGS. 42 to 51. 42 to 51 are sectional views taken along the line (39)-(39) in FIG. 36.
As described above, the transparent plate unit 300 is mounted on the base surface 203a of the door frame 203 with the lower surface mounted and held by the transparent plate mounting means 400. Further, although the variable members 601 exist on the left and right, the transparent plate unit 300 is pressed against the door frame 203 by both the left and right variable members 601 and fixed to the opening / closing body 200. Hereinafter, only the operation of one of the variable members 601 will be described.

Before fixing the transparent plate unit 300 to the door frame 203, the variable member 601 is held in a state where the movement restricting portion 604 is in contact with the first regulating means 503 from above due to its own weight (see FIG. 42).
In this state, the positioning protrusion 507 is inserted into the positioning hole 308 and the transparent plate unit 300 is positioned with respect to the door frame 203, but the lower surface 602d of the moving plate 602 is located above the pressed portion 307. Therefore, the transparent plate unit 300 is in a state of being removable from the door frame 203.
The position of the variable member 601 in a state where the movement restricting unit 604 is in contact with the first restricting means 503 from above corresponds to the second position P2.

In a state where the positioning protrusion 507 is inserted into the positioning hole 308 of the transparent plate unit 300 and the movement restricting portion 604 is in contact with the first regulating means 503 from above, the operator grips the handle portion 605 and holds the variable member 601. When it is moved downward, a downward force is applied to the movement control unit 604, and the movement control unit 604 rides on the first control means 503 (see FIG. 43).
The position of the variable member 601 in the state where the movement restricting unit 604 is mounted on the first restricting means 503 also corresponds to the second position P2.
At this time, the lower surface 602d of the moving plate 602 is located above the pressed portion 307.

Further, as the variable member 601 is moved downward, the movement regulating unit 604 gets over the first regulating means 503 (see FIG. 44). The position of the variable member 601 in a state where the movement regulating unit 604 gets over the first regulating means 503 and the movement regulating unit 604 is in contact with the first regulating means 503 from below also corresponds to the second position P2.
At this time, the lower surface 602d of the moving plate 602 overlaps from the rear side of the pressed portion 307, but the pressing protrusion 603 is not in contact with the inclined portion 312 formed in the pressed portion 307.

When the variable member 601 is further moved downward after the movement restricting portion 604 has passed over the first regulating means 503, the pressing protrusion 603 is slid on the inclined portion 312 formed on the pressed portion 307. And rides on the pressed portion 307 (see FIG. 45). By sliding the pressing portion 603 on the inclined portion 312, the pressed portion 307 is pressed against the door frame 203 by the variable member 601.
At this time, the movement control unit 604 is located between the first control means 503 and the third control means 505.

Further, as the variable member 601 is moved downward, the movement restricting unit 604 comes into contact with the third regulating means 505 from above. On the other hand, the pressing protrusion 603 is still sliding on the inclined portion 312 formed on the pressed portion 307 (see FIG. 46). At this time, the variable member 601 is elastically deformed so that the lower end portion is displaced rearward.

As the variable member 601 is further moved downward, the movement regulating unit 604 rides on the third regulating means 505 (see FIG. 47). On the other hand, the holding protrusion 603 gets over the inclined portion 312. At this time, the variable member 601 is elastically deformed so that the lower end portion is displaced rearward.

Further, as the variable member 601 is moved downward, the movement restricting unit 604 gets over the third regulating means 505 and comes into contact with the third regulating means 505 from below (see FIG. 48). On the other hand, the holding protrusion 603 gets over the inclined portion 312.

When the variable member 601 is further moved downward, the holding protrusion 603 is slid to the diameter changing portion 309b of the locking portion 309, and the variable member 601 is elastically restored so that the lower end portion is displaced forward. The pressing protrusion 603 is inserted into the locking portion 309 of the pressed portion 307 and locked (see FIG. 49). By locking the pressed portion 307 to the locking portion 309, the transparent plate unit 300 is fixed to the door frame 203 by the variable member 601. The position of the variable member 601 in a state where the transparent plate unit 300 is fixed to the door frame 203 by the variable member 601 corresponds to the first position P1.
As described above, the fixing of the transparent plate unit 300 to the door frame 203 by the variable member 601 of the fixing means 600 is completed.
In the state where the transparent plate unit 300 is fixed to the door frame 203, the movement restricting means 604 is located between the third regulating means 505 and the fourth regulating means 506.

Depending on the force of the operator, a further downward force may be applied to the variable member 601. In this case, when the variable member 601 is moved downward, the movement restricting unit 604 is the fourth restricting means. It touches 506 from above (see FIG. 50). When the movement restricting unit 604 comes into contact with the fourth regulating means 506, excessive downward movement of the variable member 601 is restricted.
At this time, the holding protrusion 603 slides downward on the diameter changing portion 309b of the locking portion 309, but the movement regulating portion 604 comes into contact with the fourth regulating means 506 from above, so that the fourth regulating means 506 is moved. The elastic deformation is performed and the downward force on the variable member 601 is released, so that the fourth regulating means 506 is elastically restored and the variable member 601 is moved upward.
The variable member 601 is in a state where the holding protrusion 603 is inserted into the locking portion 309 again and locked, and the transparent plate unit 300 is fixed to the door frame 203 (see FIG. 49). Therefore, the variable member 601 is automatically moved to the position where the transparent plate unit 300 is fixed to the door frame 203 by the elasticity of the fourth regulating means 506, so that the workability in the fixing work of the transparent plate unit 300 is improved and variable. It is possible to prevent the member 601 from falling off from the guide frame 550.

Next, a procedure for releasing the fixing of the transparent plate unit 300 to the door frame 203 by the fixing means 600 will be described.
First, in a state where the transparent plate unit 300 is fixed to the door frame 203, the pressing protrusion 603 is inserted into the locking portion 309 of the pressed portion 307 (see FIG. 49).

When the operator grips the handle portion 605 and moves the variable member 601 upward, the pressing protrusion 603 rides on the locking portion 309 (see FIGS. 47 and 48). In this state, the pressed portion 307 is still pressed against the door frame 203 by the variable member 601.

Further, when the variable member 601 is moved upward, the movement restricting unit 604 rides on the third regulating means 505 (see FIG. 47), and further, the variable member 601 is moved upward, whereby the movement restricting unit 604 Overcomes the third regulatory means 505 (see FIG. 46).
At this time, the pressing portion 603 slides on the inclined portion 312 of the pressed portion 307, and the pressed portion 307 is pressed against the door frame 203 by the variable member 601.

Further, when the variable member 601 is moved upward, the movement regulating unit 604 gets over the third regulating means 505 (see FIG. 45), and the movement regulating unit 604 is in contact with the first regulating means 503 from below. (See FIG. 44), and further, when the movement control unit 604 is moved upward, the movement control unit 604 rides on the first regulation means 503 (see FIG. 43) and overcomes the first regulation means 503. (See FIG. 42).
When the upward movement to the movement restricting unit 604 is completed, the movement restricting unit 604 is held in contact with the first restricting means 503 from above due to the weight of the variable member 601. As described above, the fixing of the transparent plate unit 300 to the door frame 203 by the fixing means 600 is released.

When the variable member 601 is further moved upward while the movement regulating unit 604 has passed over the first regulating means 503, the moving plate 602 is placed on the regulating wall 551c of the guide frame 550 which is the second regulating means 504. The upper surface 602c of the variable member 602 is in contact with the upper surface of the variable member 601 to prevent excessive movement of the variable member 601 in the upward direction (see FIG. 51).

(Effect of the first embodiment)
As described above, in the first embodiment, when the variable member 601 of the fixing means 600 moves, the variable member 601 is loaded and the movement is restricted by the first regulating means 503 and the variable member 601 in the upward direction. A second regulating means 504 is provided to regulate the movement of the (see FIG. 39 and the like).
If the first regulating means 503 is not provided when the variable member 601 moves upward toward the second regulating means 504, the second regulating means 504 does not weaken the momentum of the moving variable member 601. May come into contact with. In such a case, the second regulating means 504 may be damaged by the impact caused by the contact of the variable member 601.
Therefore, before the moving variable member 601 comes into contact with the second regulating means 504, the variable member 601 is once subjected to a load for movement from the first regulating means 503, whereby the first regulating means of the variable member 601 is applied. The momentum towards 503 is reduced. As a result, damage to the second regulating means 504 can be prevented, and the useful life of the variable member 601 and the guide frame 550 can be improved.

Further, if the second restricting means 504 for restricting the movement of the variable member 601 is not provided, the variable member 601 may be excessively moved upward and the variable member 601 may fall off from the door frame 203. be. Therefore, by providing the second regulating means 504 that regulates the upward movement of the variable member 601, it is possible to prevent the variable member 601 from falling off from the door frame 203.

Further, when fixing the transparent plate unit 300 to the door frame 203, it is necessary to first bring the transparent plate unit 300 into contact with the door frame 203, but depending on the position of the variable member 601 with respect to the door frame 203, the transparent plate unit 300 may be used. The variable member 601 may be an obstacle when the transparent plate unit 300 is brought into contact with the door frame 203, such as the variable member 601 being sandwiched between the door frames 203. Further, if the variable member 601 is sandwiched between the transparent plate unit 300 and the door frame 203, the variable member 601 may be damaged or the transparent plate unit 300 or the door frame 203 may be damaged.

Therefore, by providing the variable member 601 with the first regulating means 503 that does not ride on the variable member 601 when no downward force is applied, the lower end of the variable member 601 is separated upward from the pressed portion 307 of the transparent plate unit 300. It is held in the guide frame 550 at the position.
As a result, when the fixing work of the transparent plate unit 300 to the door frame 203 is started, the variable member 601 is not located in the area where the transparent plate unit 300 and the door frame 203 come into contact with each other. The fixing work to the door frame 203 can be easily and quickly performed.

Further, the movement restricting unit 604 is in contact with the fourth restricting means 506 from above to restrict the downward movement of the variable member 601, but the moving plate 602 is strongly in contact with the fourth regulating means 506. If it is too much, the movement restricting unit 604 may ride on the fourth restricting means 506, the variable member 601 may fall down from the guide frame 550, or the movement restricting unit 604 may be damaged.
Therefore, by providing the third regulating means 505 in front of (upper) the fourth regulating means 506, the momentum of movement of the variable member 601 is weakened before the movement regulating unit 604 comes into contact with the fourth regulating means 506. be able to. As a result, it is possible to prevent damage to the fourth regulating means 506 due to contact with the variable member 601 and to secure an appropriate operating state of the variable member 601.

Furthermore, when the fourth regulating means 506 for restricting the movement of the variable member 601 is not provided, the variable member 601 is excessively moved downward, and the variable member 601 locks the locking portion 309 of the pressed portion 307. There is a possibility that the transparent plate unit 300 will be released from being fixed to the door frame 203 by the variable member 601. Further, the variable member 601 that has passed over the locking portion 309 may come into contact with the holding frame portion 303, so that the variable member 601 and the holding frame portion 303 may be damaged.
Therefore, by providing the fourth regulating means 506 for restricting the downward movement of the variable member 601, the transparent plate unit 300 can be reliably fixed to the door frame 203 by the variable member 601. Further, it is possible to prevent the variable member 601 and the holding frame portion 303 from being damaged by avoiding the contact of the variable member 601 with the holding frame portion 303.

In addition, the variable member 601 presses the transparent plate unit 300 against the door frame 203 by inserting the pressing protrusion 603 into the locking portion 309. As a result, the transparent plate unit 300 can be more stably fixed to the door frame 203. Further, it becomes difficult to release the fixed state of the transparent plate unit 300 with respect to the door frame 203. Further, by pressing the pressed portions 307 and 307 located at the upper part of the transparent plate unit 300 with the variable members 601, 601 it is possible to prevent the transparent plate unit 300 from falling toward the game board 103 side.

Further, the positioning protrusion 507 is inserted into the positioning hole 308 of the pressed portion 307, and the pressing protrusion 603 is inserted into the locking portion 309 of the pressed portion 307. As a result, the pressed portion 307 is sandwiched between the positioning protrusion 507 and the pressing protrusion 603.
As a result, the pressed portion 307 is less likely to be displaced with respect to the door frame 203, and the pressed portion 307 can be stably fixed to the door frame 203.

Further, when fixing the transparent plate unit 300 to the door frame 203, the transparent plate unit 300 is positioned on the door frame 203 by first inserting the positioning protrusion 507 into the positioning hole 308 of the pressed portion 307. Supported by. Therefore, the pressing protrusion 603 can be easily inserted into the locking portion 309 of the positioned transparent plate unit 300, and the transparent plate unit 300 can be easily fixed to the door frame 203.

In addition, the variable members 601 and 601 are provided at positions substantially symmetrical with respect to the center line K in the left-right direction of the door frame 203, and are formed in a line-symmetrical shape (see FIG. 16). For example, the transparent plate unit 300 can be mounted on the door frame 203 by providing one variable member 601 at the position of the center line K in the left-right direction of the door frame 203. In this case, the transparent plate unit 300 can be mounted. Since no force is applied to both ends of the transparent plate unit 300 in the left-right direction, there is a possibility that a gap may be formed between the two ends of the transparent plate unit 300 and the door frame 203.
When the variable members 601 are provided at two locations without using the center line K in the left-right direction of the door frame 203 as a reference, for example, two variable members 601 are provided only on the right side or the left side of the center line K. You can also do it. However, in this case, since the force on the door frame 203 side is not applied to the transparent plate unit 300 on the other side of the central line K, the door frame is not held by the variable member 601 of the transparent plate unit 300. There is a possibility that a gap will be created between the product and the 203.
If a gap is created between the transparent plate unit 300 and the door frame 203 in this way, dust may enter through the gap, causing a failure of the board of the gaming machine 1, or a wire or the like from the gap by a heartless third party. There is a risk of intrusion or other goto acts.

Therefore, by providing the variable members 601 and 601 at positions substantially symmetrical with respect to the center line K in the left-right direction of the door frame 203, a force toward the door frame 203 side is applied to both ends of the transparent plate unit 300 in the left-right direction. It is designed to join evenly.
As a result, it becomes difficult for a gap to be created between the transparent plate unit 300 and the door frame 203, and it is possible to prevent dust from entering through the gap. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the board of the gaming machine 1 from being damaged due to dust. Further, by mounting the transparent plate unit 300 on the door frame 203 without a gap, it is possible to prevent the wire or the like used for the goto action from entering the inside of the gaming machine 1.

Further, it is important that the variable members 601 and 601 are provided at positions substantially symmetrical with respect to the center line K in the left-right direction of the door frame 203 in order to prevent rattling of the transparent plate unit 300 with respect to the door frame 203. Is.
For example, when two variable members 601 are provided only on one of the right side or the left side of the center line K, a force on the door frame 203 side is not applied to the transparent plate unit 300 on the other side of the center line K. Therefore, the contact state between the transparent plate unit 300 and the door frame 203 is unstable on the other side where the force applied to the transparent plate unit 300 by the variable member 601 is not applied due to the player's collision with the gaming machine 1 or vibration during the game. Therefore, the transparent plate unit 300 may rattle with respect to the door frame 203.
Therefore, by providing the variable members 601 and 601 at positions substantially symmetrical with respect to the center line K in the left-right direction of the door frame 203, the force toward the door frame 203 side is equal to both ends of the transparent plate unit 300 in the left-right direction. In addition, it is possible to prevent rattling of the transparent plate unit 300 with respect to the door frame 203 and secure a stable fixed state of the transparent plate unit 300 with respect to the door frame 203.

Further, a handle portion 605 protruding from the rear surface 602a of the moving plate 602 toward the game board 103 is provided at the central portion of the moving plate 602 in the longitudinal direction (see FIGS. 36, 37, 38, etc.).
Since the variable member 601 rides on the first regulating means 503, the third regulating means 505, and the pressed portion 307 of the transparent plate unit 300, a certain amount of moving force or more is required. Therefore, in order for the operator to easily move the variable member 601, by providing the handle portion 605 that is easy to grip and which can obtain a high moving force, the force applied by the operator can be efficiently moved through the handle portion 605. It can be added to the plate 602. Therefore, it is possible to improve the work efficiency of the worker.
In particular, a handle portion 605 is provided at the center portion in the vertical direction of the moving plate 602. As a result, when the variable member 601 is moved, a force is likely to be evenly applied in the vertical direction, and a smooth moving state of the variable member 601 can be realized.

Further, an inclined portion 312 that is displaced forward as it goes outward is formed on the rear surface of the outer peripheral portion of the pressed portion 307 of the transparent plate unit 300. As a result, the pressing protrusion 603 is guided to the inclined portion 312, and the variable member 601 is smoothly moved toward the center of the locking portion 309 in the pressed portion 307 (FIGS. 27, 30, 31, 31, 38). Etc.).
Further, in order to securely press the transparent plate unit 300 against the door frame 203 by the variable member 601, the distance between the front surface 602b of the variable member 601 and the base surface 203a of the door frame 203 is set between the rear surface of the pressed portion 307 and the door frame 203. It is narrower than the distance from the base surface 203a. Therefore, when the inclined portion 312 is not formed, the variable member 601 collides with the outer peripheral surface of the pressed portion 307 when the variable member 601 is moved, and the variable member 601 does not ride on the rear surface of the pressed portion 307. There is a risk. Further, the variable member 601 may be damaged due to the collision of the variable member 601 with the outer peripheral surface of the pressed portion 307.
Therefore, by forming the inclined portion 312 on the pressed portion 307, the variable member 601 is guided by the inclined portion 312 and surely rides on the rear surface of the pressed portion 307 when the variable member 601 moves. Smooth movement with respect to the pressed portion 307 can be ensured, and damage to the variable member 601 can be prevented.
Further, since the outer surface of the pressing protrusion 603 is formed on a curved surface, it is possible to realize smooth riding on the pressed portion 307 of the variable member 601.

Furthermore, the pressed portion 307 has a concave locking portion 309 that opens rearward, and by inserting the pressing protrusion 603 into the locking portion 309, the pressed portion 307 is attached to the door frame 203 by the variable member 601. It is suppressed (see FIGS. 27, 30, 38, etc.).
If the locking portion 309 is not formed on the pressed portion 307, the variable member 601 is displaced with respect to the pressed portion 307 due to vibration or impact during the game, and the door frame 203 side with respect to the transparent plate unit 300. The pressing on the transparent plate unit 300 may be released, and the transparent plate unit 300 may come off from the mounting portion 403 and fall off downward. In particular, since the inclined portion 312 is formed on the pressed portion 307, the variable member 601 may be guided by the inclined portion 312 and move.
Therefore, by forming the locking portion 309 in the pressed portion 307 and inserting the pressing protrusion 603 into the locking portion 309 to press the transparent plate unit 300 against the door frame 203, the displacement of the variable member 601 is prevented and the transparent plate is prevented. Since the release of the pressing from the unit 300 to the door frame 203 side is restricted, it is possible to prevent the transparent plate unit 300 from falling off due to the detachment from the mounting portion 403. Therefore, the safety of the gaming machine 1 can be improved.

In addition, the transparent plate unit 300 has a locking portion 309 to which the variable member 601 is locked, and the fixing means 600 has a first regulating means 503 that regulates the variable member 601 at the second position P2. The variable member 601 is held separately at a position locked by the locking portion 309 and a position regulated by the first regulating means 503 (see FIGS. 36, 37, etc.).
It is assumed that the gaming machine 1 will have an opportunity to use different transparent plate units 300 depending on the game content, model change, and the like. In this case, if all the means for fixing the transparent plate unit 300 are provided on the door frame 203 side, the transparent plate unit 300 is mounted by the variable member 601 when the size or the like of the transparent plate unit 300 changes. It may not be possible.
Therefore, by providing the locking portion 309 that defines the first position P1 of the variable member 601 on the transparent plate unit 300 side, various types of transparent plate units 300 can be flexibly dealt with, and the variable member 601 makes the transparent plate transparent. The unit 300 can be fixed.

In the first embodiment described above, the fixing means 600 having the variable member 601 that can be moved in the vertical direction along the guide frame 550 has been described. However, for example, the variable member 601 is in the left-right direction. The fixing means 600 may be provided so as to be movable (see FIGS. 52 and 53).
For example, by moving the variable member 601 in the left-right direction, the pressing portion 603 is locked to and released from the locking portion 309 of the pressed portion 307, and the door frame 203 of the transparent plate unit 300 is released. It is fixed to and released from the fixing.
It is effective to provide the fixing means 600 on the side of the door frame 203 so that the variable member 601 can move in the left-right direction when the area for providing the fixing means 600 on the upper part of the door frame 203 is insufficient.
The variable member 601 may be fixed to and released from the door frame 203 of the transparent plate unit 300 by moving the variable member 601 in an oblique direction with respect to the vertical direction.

[6-2. Second Embodiment]
Next, the fixed collaborative means 500 and the fixed means 600 in the second embodiment will be described (see FIGS. 54 to 66).

[6-2-1. overall structure]
The fixed collaborative means 500 in the second embodiment is provided on both left and right portions of the door frame 203, and the left and right fixed collaborative means 500 have different configurations. Therefore, the fixed collaborative means 500 on the right side is shown as the fixed collaborative means 500A as needed, and the fixed collaborative means 500 on the left side is shown as the fixed collaborative means 500B as needed.
The fixed collaborative means 500A and the fixed collaborative means 500B have a symmetrical configuration except for a portion having a different configuration, and are provided at symmetrical positions with respect to the center in the left-right direction of the door frame 203.
Further, the fixing means 600 is also provided on the right side and the left side, respectively, but the fixing means 600 on the right side and the left side have the same shape and size, and are fixed at symmetrical positions with respect to the center in the left-right direction of the door frame 203. It is supported by the collaborative means 500.
In the following description of the second embodiment, the same parts as those of the above-mentioned first embodiment are designated by the same reference numerals, and the description will be omitted or simplified.

(Construction of fixed collaborative means on one side (right side))
First, the configuration of the fixed collaborative means 500 (500A) on the right side will be described (see FIGS. 54 to 58).
FIG. 54 is a perspective view showing the fixed collaborative means and the like on one side (right side) on the left and right, and FIG. 55 is an exploded perspective view showing the fixed means and the fixed collaborative means on one side on the left and right. 56 is a rear view showing the transparent plate unit and the fixing means and the fixing collaborative means on one of the left and right sides, and FIG. 57 is a rotation of the fixing means and the fixing collaborative means on one of the left and right sides. Is an unregulated perspective view, and FIG. 58 is a perspective view showing the fixing means and the fixing collaborative means on one of the left and right sides in a state where the rotation of the fixing means is restricted.

The fixed collaborative means 500 (500A) has a first reinforcing rib 524, a second reinforcing rib 525A, a shaft portion 523, a reinforcing portion 522, and a positioning protrusion 507. The first reinforcing rib 524, the second reinforcing rib 525A, the shaft portion 523, the reinforcing portion 522, and the positioning protrusion 507 are formed as each part of the door frame 203, and all of them project rearward from the base surface 203a. ..
Further, the first reinforcing rib 524, the second reinforcing rib 525A, the shaft portion 523, the reinforcing portion 522, and the positioning protrusion 507 are integrally formed with the portion having the door frame 203 on which the base surface 203a is formed.

The first reinforcing rib 524 is subjected to a load on the rotation of the variable member (601A) described later of the fixing means 600 to regulate the rotation, and the first regulating means 503A and the variable member 601A are restricted from rotating. It is composed of a second regulating means 504A and a connecting portion 510 connecting the first regulating means 503A and the second regulating means 504A.

The first regulating means 503A, the second regulating means 504A, and the connecting portion 510 are located in order from the lower side and are continuous up and down. The end face 503a on the game board 103 side of the first regulating means 503A and the end face 504a on the game board 103 side of the second regulating means 504A have different heights with respect to the base surface 203a, and are different from the end face 503a of the first regulating means 503A. The height of the connecting portion 510 with respect to the base surface 203a is the same as that of the end surface 510a on the game board 103 side.
The first regulating means 503A is formed in a plate shape facing in a direction orthogonal to the base surface 203a, and is formed in an arc shape that is displaced to the left as it goes upward. The first regulating means 503A has a hemispherical rear end, which is an end in the direction of protrusion from the base surface 203a.

The connecting portion 510 is formed in a plate shape having a lower end continuous with the upper end of the first regulating means 503A and facing in the left-right direction.

The second regulating means 504A is formed in a plate shape in which one end in the left-right direction is continuous with the upper end of the connecting portion 510 and faces in the vertical direction. The height of the end surface 504a of the second regulating means 504A from the base surface 203a is higher than the height of the end surface 503a of the first regulating means 503A and the end surface 510a of the connecting portion 510a from the base surface 203a. The portion is projected rearward from the first regulating means 503A and the connecting portion 510.

The first regulating means 503A and the connecting portion 510 are located in the rotation region of the variable member 601A, but when the variable member 601A is rotated, a part of the variable member 601A is a part of the first regulating means 503A and the second regulating means 503A. The regulating means 504A is made contactable, and the variable member 601A is prevented from coming into contact with the connecting portion 510.

The outer space of the connecting portion 510 and the first regulating means 503A in the left-right direction is a holding space 530.

The second reinforcing rib 525A protrudes from the base surface 203a toward the game board 103, and is continuously provided at the lower end of the first reinforcing rib 524. The second reinforcing rib 525A is integrally formed with the first reinforcing rib 524.
The second reinforcing rib 525A has a body portion 525a, a first inclined piece 525p, a second inclined piece 525q, a first reinforcing piece 525b, a second reinforcing piece 525c, a third reinforcing piece 525d, and a fourth reinforcement. It has a piece 525e, a fifth reinforcing piece 525f, and a sixth reinforcing piece 525g. The amount of protrusion of the second reinforcing rib 525A from the base surface 203a to the rear is smaller than the amount of protrusion of the first reinforcing rib 524 from the base surface 203a to the rear.

The second reinforcing rib 525A partially exists in the rotation region of the variable member 601A, but the amount of protrusion backward from the base surface 203a is the amount of protrusion backward from the base surface 203a of the first reinforcing rib 524. Since it is made smaller, the variable member 601A does not come into contact with the second reinforcing rib 525A during rotation.

The body portion 525a is provided so as to extend in the vertical direction.
The lower end of the first inclined piece 525p is continuous with the upper end of the body portion 525a, and is inclined in a direction of lateral displacement inward as it goes upward. The upper end of the first inclined piece 525p is continuous with the lower end of the first reinforcing rib 524.
The upper end of the second inclined piece 525q is continuous with the lower end of the body portion 525a, and is inclined in a direction of lateral displacement toward the lower side. The second inclined piece 525q is positioned along the opening edge of the opening 219 of the door frame 203.
The first reinforcing piece 525b projects from the lower end of the first inclined piece 525p toward the side portion 207a.
The second reinforcing piece 525c is projected from the upper end portion of the first inclined piece 525p to the side opposite to the side portion 207a side. The upper end of the first reinforcing rib 524, the first inclined piece 525p, and the second reinforcing piece 525c form a substantially U-shaped portion that opens inward on the side.
The third reinforcing piece 525d is located directly below the first reinforcing piece 525b in the vertical direction, and projects from a position near the upper end of the body portion 525a toward the side portion 207a. The third reinforcing piece 525d is positioned in parallel with the first reinforcing piece 525b. The third reinforcing piece 525d, the first reinforcing piece 525b, the upper end portion of the body portion 525a, and the lower end portion of the first inclined piece 525p form a substantially U-shaped portion that opens outward on the side. ..
The fourth reinforcing piece 525e projects downward from the outer end portion of the third reinforcing piece 525d in the left-right direction. A portion near the upper end of the body portion 525a, a third reinforcing piece 525d, and a fourth reinforcing piece 525e form a substantially U-shaped portion that opens downward.
The fifth reinforcing piece 525f projects from the lower end of the second inclined piece 525q toward the side portion 207a. Therefore, the fifth reinforcing piece 525f is positioned in parallel with the first reinforcing piece 525b and the third reinforcing piece 525d.
The sixth reinforcing piece 525g projects upward from the outer end portion of the fifth reinforcing piece 525f in the left-right direction. The second inclined piece 525q, the fifth reinforcing piece 525f, and the sixth reinforcing piece 525g form a substantially U-shaped portion that opens upward.

By providing the body portion 525a, the fourth reinforcing piece 525e, the sixth reinforcing piece 525g, and the connecting portion 510, it is possible to improve the strength of the door frame 203 in the bending direction deformed back and forth. Further, by providing the first reinforcing piece 525b, the second reinforcing piece 525c, the third reinforcing piece 525d, the fifth reinforcing piece 525f, and the second regulating means 504A, the door frame 203 is bent to the left and right. The strength in the direction can be improved.

Further, the door frame 203 is substantially opened laterally by a third reinforcing piece 525d, a first reinforcing piece 525b, an upper end portion of the body portion 525a, and a lower end portion of the first inclined piece 525p. A character-shaped part is formed. Further, a portion near the upper end of the body portion 525a, a third reinforcing piece 525d, and a fourth reinforcing piece 525e form a substantially U-shaped portion that opens downward. Further, a substantially U-shaped portion that opens upward is formed by the second inclined piece 525q, the fifth reinforcing piece 525f, and the sixth reinforcing piece 525g. In addition, the upper end of the first reinforcing rib 524, the first inclined piece 525p, and the second reinforcing piece 525c form a substantially U-shaped portion that opens inward on the side.
Therefore, these substantially U-shaped portions can further improve the strength in the bending direction in which the door frame 203 is deformed back and forth and in the bending direction in which the door frame 203 is deformed to the left and right.

Further, a portion near the upper end of the body portion 525a, a substantially U-shaped portion formed by the third reinforcing piece 525d and the fourth reinforcing piece 525e, a second inclined piece 525q, and a fifth reinforcing piece 525f. The substantially U-shaped portion formed by the sixth reinforcing piece 525 g is formed in a substantially symmetrical shape in the vertical direction. Therefore, the strengths are complemented with each other by the upper and lower substantially U-shaped portions, and the strength of the door frame 203 can be further improved.

Furthermore, a substantially U-shaped portion formed by a third reinforcing piece 525d, a first reinforcing piece 525b, an upper end portion of the body portion 525a, and a lower end portion of the first inclined piece 525p, and a first reinforcement. The upper end portion of the rib 524 and the first inclined piece 525p and the substantially U-shaped portion formed by the second reinforcing piece 525c are formed in a substantially symmetrical shape on the left and right. Therefore, the strengths are complemented with each other by these left and right substantially U-shaped portions, and the strength of the door frame 203 can be further improved.

In addition, the first reinforcing rib 524 and the second reinforcing rib 525A are continuously and integrally formed vertically. Therefore, the first reinforcing rib 524 and the second reinforcing rib 525A form a vertically long reinforcing rib, and the strength of the door frame 203 in the vertical bending direction can be further improved.

The first regulating means 503A and the second regulating means 504A described above are integrally formed together with the connecting portion 510 as each part of the first reinforcing rib 524.
If the first regulating means 503A and the second regulating means 504A are provided as separate members, the positional accuracy of each member may decrease, and as a result, the variable member 601A by the first regulating means 503A and the regulating means 504 may deteriorate. There is a risk that stable maintenance and regulation will not be possible.

Therefore, as described above, by integrally forming the first regulating means 503A and the second regulating means 504A as each part of the first reinforcing rib 524, the positional accuracy of each other is improved, and the first It is possible to secure a stable holding state and a regulated state of the variable member 601A by the regulating means 503A and the second regulating means 504A.

Further, the first regulating means 503A and the second regulating means 504A are connected by the connecting portion 510 and integrally formed as each part of the door frame 203, whereby the first regulating means 503A and the second regulating means are integrally formed. The durability of 504A can be improved.

Further, if the shaft portion 523, the first regulating means 503A, and the second regulating means 504A are provided as separate members, the positional accuracy of each member may decrease, and as a result, the variable member 601A with respect to the shaft portion 523. There is a possibility that smooth rotation operation and stable holding and regulation of the variable member 601A by the first regulating means 503A and the second regulating means 504 cannot be performed.
Therefore, by integrally forming the shaft portion 523, the first regulating means 503A, and the second regulating means 504A as each part of the door frame 203, the positional accuracy of each member is improved, and the variable member 601A It is possible to secure a smooth rotation operation with respect to the shaft portion 523 and a stable holding state and a regulated state of the variable member 601A by the first regulating means 503A and the regulating means 504.

In the above description, the first regulating means 503A and the second regulating means 504A are described as being integrally formed as each part of the first reinforcing rib 524, but the first regulating means 503A and the second regulating means are described. The means 504A may be formed as a separate member. This makes it possible to form each member using a material suitable for the characteristics of each member.
For example, by forming the first regulating means 503A with a material having a higher elasticity than the second regulating means 504A, the holding protrusion 603 of the variable member 601A can easily ride on the first regulating means 503A. Therefore, the smooth rotation operation of the variable member 601A can be realized.
On the contrary, the second regulating means 504A may be formed by using a material having higher elasticity than the first regulating means 503A. This makes it possible to prevent the variable member 601A from being damaged or scratched when the variable member 601A comes into contact with the second regulating means 504A.

The shaft portion 523 projects rearward from the base surface 203a and is located on the inward side of the first reinforcing rib 524. The shaft portion 523 is formed in a substantially cylindrical shape with the axial direction oriented in the front-rear direction, and has a screw hole 523a opened rearward at the center portion. Since the shaft portion 523 is integrally formed with the portion having the base surface 203a as a part of the door frame 203, the strength is increased.

The shaft portion 523 is configured by integrally forming a small diameter portion 527 and a large diameter portion 528. The large diameter portion 528 is continuously provided at the front end of the small diameter portion 527, and the outer diameter is slightly larger than the outer diameter of the small diameter portion 527.

The outer circumference of the reinforcing portion 522 is made larger than the outer diameter of the large diameter portion 528 of the shaft portion 523, and is formed in an annular shape. The reinforcing portion 522 has a function of reinforcing the shaft portion 523, and the reinforcing portion 522 makes the shaft portion 523 difficult to fall down.

The positioning protrusion 507 is located directly below the first regulating means 503A and protrudes from the base surface 203a toward the game board 103. The positioning protrusion 507 is formed in a columnar shape. Since the positioning protrusion 507 is integrally formed with the portion having the base surface 203a as a part of the door frame 203, the strength is increased. The outer diameter of the positioning protrusion 507 is larger than the outer diameter of the shaft portion 523, and the amount of rearward protrusion from the base surface 203a is smaller than the amount of rearward protrusion of the shaft portion 523 from the base surface 203a.

The shape of the positioning protrusion 507 is not limited to a columnar shape, but is inserted into the positioning hole 308 of the pressed portion 307 of the transparent plate unit 300, such as a triangular prism, a polygonal prism such as a quadrangular prism, or a hemisphere protruding toward the game board 103. Any shape may be used as long as it can be formed.
The above shows an example in which the fixing protrusion 507 is provided on the fixed collaborative means 500 and the locking portion 309 is formed on the fixed body 300, but conversely, the positioning hole 308 is formed on the fixed collaborative means 500. The transparent plate unit 300 may be provided with a positioning protrusion 507. In this case, the transparent plate unit 300 may be held by the door frame 203 by inserting the positioning protrusion 507 of the transparent plate unit 300 into the positioning hole 308 of the fixed collaborative means 500.

(Structure of fixing means on one side (right side))
Next, the configuration of the fixing means 600 on the right side will be described (see FIGS. 59 to 61).
FIG. 59 is a perspective view showing the back side of the variable member in the fixing means 600, FIG. 60 is a perspective view showing the front side of the variable member, and FIG. 61 is a cross section showing a state in which the variable member is supported by the shaft portion. It is a figure.

The fixing means 600 has, for example, a variable member 601A formed of resin and, for example, a screw member 620 formed of metal, and the variable member 601A rotates with respect to the door frame 203 with the shaft portion 523 as a fulcrum. Will be done.
The variable member 601A has a function of pressing and fixing the transparent plate unit 300 arranged on the front surface side of the game board 103 against the door frame 203 in a state of being rotated to a predetermined movable position.

The variable member 601A has a supported portion 606, a fixed portion 607, a handle portion 605, a pressing protrusion 603, and a handle reinforcing portion 608, and each portion is integrally formed.

The supported portion 606 is formed in a substantially cylindrical shape, and the internal space is formed as an insertion hole 606a. The supported portion 606 is a portion that is axially oriented in the front-rear direction and is supported by the shaft portion 523. One end of the supported portion 606 in the axial direction, that is, the outer surface 609a of the end portion 609 on the base surface 203a side in a state of being supported by the shaft portion 523 is formed on a curved surface convex toward the base surface 203a.
The variable member 601A is made rotatable with respect to the door frame 203 by inserting the shaft portion 523 into the insertion hole 606a of the supported portion 606.
The variable member 601A has an outer surface 609a that can come into contact with the large diameter portion 528 while being supported by the shaft portion 523. However, since the outer surface 609a is formed on a convex curved surface on the door frame 203 side, the outer surface 609a is large. The contact area with respect to the diameter portion 528 is small, the frictional force generated between the variable member 601A and the large diameter portion 528 is small, and a smooth rotation state of the variable member 601A with respect to the shaft portion 523 can be ensured.

The fixed portion 607 protrudes from the supported portion 606 in a direction orthogonal to the axial direction of the supported portion 606, and is formed in a substantially flat plate shape facing in the front-rear direction. The fixed portion 607 is formed in a semicircular shape in which the tip portion in the protruding direction from the supported portion 606 is convex in the protruding direction, and the curvature of the tip portion of the fixed portion 607 and the curvature of the supported portion 606 are substantially the same. There is.

The fixed portion 607 is elastically deformable in the thickness direction with respect to the supported portion 606. Therefore, the fixed portion 607 is elastically deformed so that the tip portion in the projecting direction from the supported portion 606 is displaced substantially in the front-rear direction.

The fixed portion 607 protrudes from a position near the rear end on the outer peripheral surface 606c of the supported portion 606. Therefore, the rear surface of the fixed portion 607 is located on the front side of the rear surface of the supported portion 606. The thickness direction of the fixed portion 607 is in the front-rear direction, the protrusion direction from the supported portion 606 is in the longitudinal direction, and the width direction is in the lateral direction.

The handle portion 605 is projected from the fixed portion 607 toward the game board 103, and is projected rearward from the central portion of the fixed portion 607 in the lateral direction. The handle portion 605 is formed in a shape extending in the longitudinal direction of the fixed portion 607, and one end in the longitudinal direction is located on the supported portion 606 side from the tip of the fixed portion 607. Since the handle portion 605 is formed in a shape extending in the longitudinal direction of the fixed portion 607, the handle portion 605 can be easily held and the operability can be improved.

The handle portion 605 is formed in a semicircular shape in which the rear end portion is convex rearward in a cross-sectional shape orthogonal to the longitudinal direction. Further, the handle portion 605 has a cross-sectional shape orthogonal to the thickness direction of the fixed portion 607, and both end portions in the longitudinal direction are formed in a semicircular shape convex in the longitudinal direction.
In this way, since the outer surface of the end portion of the handle portion 605 is formed in a curved surface shape, it feels good when gripped by a finger, and the angular portion is not applied to the finger, and the variable member 601A Good operability can be ensured.
In the above description, an example in which the handle portion 605 protrudes rearward from the central portion of the fixed portion 607 in the lateral direction has been described, but the handle portion 605 protrudes rearward from any position on the rear surface of the fixed portion 607. It may be provided so as to be. However, since the handle portion 605 is projected from the central portion of the fixed portion 607 in the lateral direction, the variable member 601A is less likely to tilt with respect to the shaft portion 523 during rotation, and the variable member 601A is in a stable rotational state. It can be realized.

The pressing protrusion 603 projects from the tip of the fixing portion 607 toward the door frame 203. The outer surface of the holding protrusion 603 is formed in a curved surface shape that is convex toward the door frame 203 side.
The pressing protrusion 603 is projected from the fixed portion 607, and as described above, the fixed portion 607 is elastically deformable in the thickness direction with respect to the supported portion 606, so that the fixed portion 607 is deformed. It is displaced approximately in the anteroposterior direction.

The handle reinforcing portion 608 connects the end portion of the handle portion 605 on the supported portion 606 side and the outer peripheral surface 606c of the supported portion 606, and the position of the rear surface in the front-rear direction is the position in the front-rear direction of the rear surface of the supported portion 606. Matched to position.

The fixed portion 607 and the handle portion 605 are formed in a curved shape such as an end surface in the longitudinal direction and a ridge line portion which is a boundary portion of each surface. Therefore, local concentrated stress is unlikely to occur in the fixed portion 607 and the handle portion 605, the strength of the fixed portion 607 and the handle portion 605 is increased, and cracks or breaks occur in the fixed portion 607 and the handle portion 605. Can be suppressed.

The screw member 620 has a head portion 621, a screw shaft portion 622, and a flange portion 623.
The head portion 621, the screw shaft portion 622, and the flange portion 623 are integrally formed. The flange portion 623 is located between the head portion 621 and the screw shaft portion 622, and the outer circumference thereof is larger than the outer circumference of the head portion 621. Further, the outer diameter of the flange portion 623 is larger than the outer diameter of the supported portion 606 in the variable member 601A. Although the screw member 620 is made of metal, it may be made of, for example, resin. By forming the screw member 620 with resin, it is possible to reduce the wear of the supported portion 606 due to the contact between the screw member 620 and the supported portion 606.
The top surface of the head 621 is formed as the parietal surface 621a, and the center of the parietal surface 621a is the apex 621b.

(Structure of fixed collaborative means on the other side (left side))
Next, the configuration of the fixed collaborative means 500 (500B) on the left side will be described (see FIGS. 62 to 66).
62 is a perspective view showing the fixed collaborative means and the like on the other left and right sides, FIG. 63 is an exploded perspective view showing the fixed means and the fixed collaborative means on the other left and right sides, and FIG. 64 is a transparent view. It is a rear view which shows the plate unit and the fixing means and the fixing collaborative means on the other side of the left and right, and FIG. 65 is the rotation of the fixing means, the fixing collaborative means, etc. FIG. 66 is a perspective view showing the fixing means and the fixing collaborative means on the other side of the left and right in a state where the rotation of the fixing means is restricted.

The following fixed collaborative means 500B on the left side is different from the fixed collaborative means 500A on the right side only in that the configuration of the second reinforcing rib 525A is different from that of the fixed collaborative means 500A. Only the different parts will be described in detail, and the other parts will be given the same reference numerals as those given to the same portions in the fixed collaborative means 500A, and the description will be omitted or simplified.

The fixed collaborative means 500 (500B) has a first reinforcing rib 524, a second reinforcing rib 525B, a shaft portion 523, a reinforcing portion 522, and a positioning protrusion 507. The first reinforcing rib 524, the second reinforcing rib 525B, the shaft portion 523, the reinforcing portion 522, and the positioning protrusion 507 are integrally formed as each part of the door frame 203, and all of them are projected rearward from the base surface 203a. ing.
Further, the first reinforcing rib 524, the second reinforcing rib 525B, the shaft portion 523, the reinforcing portion 522, and the positioning protrusion 507 are integrally formed with the portion having the door frame 203 on which the base surface 203a is formed.

In the fixed collaborative means 500B, the first reinforcing rib 524 is formed in the same size as the first reinforcing rib 524 of the fixed collaborative means 500A and has a symmetrical shape and exists at a symmetrical position. Further, the shaft portion 523, the reinforcing portion 522, and the positioning protrusion 507 of the fixed collaborative means 500B are made to have the same size and shape as the shaft portion 523, the reinforcing portion 522, and the positioning protrusion 507 of the fixed collaborative means 500A, respectively. It exists in a symmetrical position.

The second reinforcing rib 525B protrudes from the base surface 203a toward the game board 103, and is continuously provided at the lower end of the first reinforcing rib 524. The second reinforcing rib 525B is integrally formed with the first reinforcing rib 524.
The second reinforcing rib 525B has a body portion 525h, an inclined piece 525r, a first reinforcing piece 525i, a second reinforcing piece 525j, and a third reinforcing piece 525k. The amount of the second reinforcing rib 525B protruding rearward from the base surface 203a is smaller than the amount of the first reinforcing rib 524 protruding rearward from the base surface 203a.

The second reinforcing rib 525B partially exists in the rotation region of the variable member 601A, but the amount of protrusion backward from the base surface 203a is the amount of protrusion backward from the base surface 203a of the first reinforcing rib 524. Since it is made smaller, the variable member 601A does not come into contact with the second reinforcing rib 525B during rotation.

The body portion 525h is provided so as to extend in the vertical direction, and the length in the vertical direction is shorter than the length in the vertical direction of the body portion 525a in the first reinforcing rib 524.
The lower end of the inclined piece 525r is continuous with the upper end of the body portion 525h, and is inclined in a direction in which the inclined piece 525r is displaced inward in the lateral direction as it goes upward. The upper end of the inclined piece 525r is continuous with the lower end of the first reinforcing rib 524.
The first reinforcing piece 525i projects from the lower end of the inclined piece 525r toward the side portion 207b.
The second reinforcing piece 525j projects from the upper end portion of the inclined piece 525r to the side opposite to the side portion 207b side. The first reinforcing rib 524 and the second reinforcing piece 525j form a substantially U-shaped portion that opens inward on the side.
The third reinforcing piece 525k is located directly below the first reinforcing piece 525i in the vertical direction, and protrudes from the lower end of the body portion 525h toward the side portion 207a. The third reinforcing piece 525k is positioned in parallel with the first reinforcing piece 525i. The third reinforcing piece 525k, the body portion 525h, and the lower end portion of the inclined piece 525r form a substantially U-shaped portion that opens outward on the side.

By providing the body portion 525h and the connecting portion 510, it is possible to improve the strength of the door frame 203 in the bending direction that deforms back and forth. Further, by providing the first reinforcing piece 525i, the second reinforcing piece 525j, the third reinforcing piece 525k, and the second regulating means 504A, the strength of the door frame 203 in the bending direction deformed to the left and right is improved. Can be done.

Further, the door frame 203 is formed with a substantially U-shaped portion that opens outward by the third reinforcing piece 525k, the first reinforcing piece 525i, the body portion 525h, and the lower end portion of the inclined piece 525r. Has been done. Further, a substantially U-shaped portion that opens inward on the side is formed by the first reinforcing rib 524 and the second reinforcing piece 525j.
Therefore, these substantially U-shaped portions can further improve the strength in the bending direction in which the door frame 203 is deformed back and forth and in the bending direction in which the door frame 203 is deformed to the left and right.

Further, a substantially U-shaped portion formed by the third reinforcing piece 525k, the first reinforcing piece 525i, the body portion 525h, and the lower end portion of the inclined piece 525r, the first reinforcing rib 524, and the second reinforcement. The substantially U-shaped portion formed by the piece 525j is formed in a substantially symmetrical shape on the left and right. Therefore, the strengths are complemented with each other by these left and right substantially U-shaped portions, and the strength of the door frame 203 can be further improved.

In addition, the first reinforcing rib 524 and the second reinforcing rib 525B are continuously and integrally formed vertically. Therefore, the first reinforcing rib 524 and the second reinforcing rib 525B form a vertically long reinforcing rib, and the strength of the door frame 203 in the vertical bending direction can be further improved.

In the present embodiment, as described above, the left and right variable members 601A and 601A are supported at positions line-symmetrical with respect to the center of the door frame 203 in the left-right direction. Further, the left and right shaft portions 523, the left and right first regulating means 503A, and the left and right second regulating means 504A are integrally formed as each part of the door frame 203. Therefore, the positional accuracy of the left and right first regulating means 503A and the left and right second regulating means 504A in the door frame 203 is high, and the left and right variable members 601A and 601A supported by the left and right shaft portions 523, respectively, are provided. It can be positioned at a line-symmetrical position with high accuracy.

Further, the left and right first reinforcing ribs 524 having the first regulating means 503A and the second regulating means 504A, respectively, are formed symmetrically on the left and right.
Therefore, when the left and right first reinforcing ribs 524 are formed as separate parts from the door frame 203, they cannot be formed as parts having the same shape, but must be formed as separate parts. In this case, The manufacturing cost of the gaming machine 1 may increase.

Therefore, as described above, by integrally forming the left and right first reinforcing ribs 524 as a part of the door frame 203, it is not necessary to form the left and right first reinforcing ribs 524 as separate parts. The manufacturing cost of the gaming machine 1 can be reduced.
Similarly, by integrally forming the left and right second reinforcing ribs 525A and the second reinforcing ribs 525B as a part of the door frame 203, the manufacturing cost of the gaming machine 1 can be reduced.

Further, the shaft portion 523, the positioning protrusion 507, and the engaging portion 410 formed symmetrically on the left and right sides may be integrally formed together with the base portion having the base surface 203a (FIGS. 10, 22, 24, See FIG. 25 and the like). As a result, the mutual positional accuracy of the shaft portion 523, the positioning protrusion 507, and the engaging portion 410 can be improved.
Therefore, when the transparent plate unit 300 is fixed to the door frame 203, the engaging protrusion 311 can be smoothly inserted into the engaging portion 410 and the positioning protrusion 507 can be smoothly inserted into the positioning hole 308. Further, the left and right variable members 601A and 601A supported by the left and right shaft portions 523 can be positioned at a line-symmetrical position with high accuracy, and the transparent plate unit 300 can be brought into contact with the door frame 203 smoothly. The transparent plate unit 300 can be fixed.
Further, similarly to the above, the shaft portion 523, the positioning protrusion 507, and the engaging portion 410 are integrally formed together with the base portion having the base surface 203a, so that the manufacturing cost of the gaming machine 1 can be reduced. ..
In addition to the left and right shaft portions 523, the positioning protrusion 507, and the engaging portion 410, the left and right first reinforcing ribs 524 and the left and right second reinforcing ribs 525A and 525B are integrated together with the Babe portion having the base surface 203a. It may be formed. As a result, the position accuracy of each member can be improved, and the manufacturing cost of the gaming machine 1 can be further reduced.

(Support state of variable member for door frame, etc.)
In the variable member 601A configured as described above, the shaft portion 523 is inserted into the insertion hole 606a of the supported portion 606, and the screw member 620 is screwed into the screw hole 523a formed in the shaft portion 523 to form the shaft portion. Supported by 523 (see FIG. 61). The variable member 601A has a supported portion 606 positioned between the base surface 203a and the flange portion 623 of the screw member 620, and can be rotated with respect to the door frame 203 with the central axis of the shaft portion 523 as a rotation fulcrum M. Will be done.

When the variable member 601A is supported by the shaft portion 523, the end portion 609 of the supported portion 606 is brought into contact with the rear surface of the large diameter portion 528 of the shaft portion 523. Therefore, the variable member 601A is rotated around the shaft portion 523 with the outer surface 609a of the end portion 609 slidable on the large diameter portion 528.

As described above, the shaft portion 523 has a small diameter portion 527 and a large diameter portion 528 protruding from the base surface 203a and having different diameters, and the variable member 601A is supported by the small diameter portion 527 and the end portion 609 of the supported portion 606 is supported during rotation. It is slidable with the large diameter portion 528.
Since the large diameter portion 528 has a larger diameter than the small diameter portion 527 and is located on the base surface 203a side, it also plays a role of reinforcing the small diameter portion 527, so that the overall strength of the shaft portion 523 is increased. Therefore, by making the end portion 609 of the supported portion 606 slidable with the large diameter portion 528, the strength of the shaft portion 523 is improved and the smooth rotation state of the variable member 601A is ensured. Can be done.

Further, since the reinforcing portion 522 is provided around the base end portion of the shaft portion 523 and the diameter of the reinforcing portion 522 is larger than that of the large diameter portion 528, the reinforcing portion 522 is also used in addition to the large diameter portion 528. The strength of the portion 523 is increased, the strength of the shaft portion 523 is further improved, and the smooth rotation state of the variable member 601A can be ensured.
Further, as described above, since the outer surface 609a of the end portion 609 of the supported portion 609 is formed on a curved surface convex toward the door frame 203 side, the contact area of the outer surface 609a with respect to the large diameter portion 528 is small, and the variable member 601A It is possible to secure a smoother rotation state with respect to the door frame 203.

In the above description, an example in which the shaft portion 523 protrudes from the base surface 203a and has a small diameter portion 527 and a large diameter portion 528 having different diameters has been described. The shaft portion 523 may be formed of only 527, or the shaft portion 523 may be provided with two or more portions having a diameter larger than that of the small diameter portion 527 at different positions in the axial direction. By providing a plurality of portions having a diameter larger than that of the small diameter portion 527, the overall strength of the shaft portion 523 can be further improved.

Further, although the example in which the reinforcing portion 522 is provided around the base end portion of the shaft portion 523 has been described above, a plurality of reinforcing portions 522 may be provided at different positions in the axial direction. For example, it is conceivable to further provide a reinforcing portion having a diameter larger than that of the reinforcing portion 522 on the base surface 203a side of the reinforcing portion 522. By providing a plurality of reinforcing portions 522, the overall strength of the shaft portion 523 can be further improved. It should be noted that the reinforcing portion 522 may not be provided around the base end portion of the shaft portion 523.

(Action of fixed means on fixed collaborative means, etc.)
In the variable member 601A, the fixing portion 607 is elastically deformed and elastically restored during rotation, so that the pressing protrusion 603 can ride on the first regulating means 503A of the first reinforcing rib 524. Therefore, in the variable member 601A, the momentum of rotation is weakened by the pressing protrusion 603 sliding on the first regulating means 503A during rotation. At this time, since the outer surface of the pressing protrusion 603 is formed into a curved surface, the pressing protrusion 603 is smoothly slid to the end surface 503a of the first regulating means 503A.
Further, the rotation of the variable member 601A is restricted by the outer peripheral surface 606c of the fixing portion 607 coming into contact with the second regulating means 504A of the first reinforcing rib 524.

(Modified example of fixed collaborative means)
Hereinafter, a modified example of the fixed collaborative means will be described (see FIGS. 67 to 70). Each of the modified examples shown below is a modified example relating to the shaft portion 523 and the reinforcing portion 522.
FIG. 67 is a cross-sectional view showing a first modified example of the fixed collaborative means, FIG. 68 is a cross-sectional view showing a second modified example of the fixed collaborative means, and FIG. 69 is a third modified example of the fixed collaborative means. FIG. 70 is a cross-sectional view showing a modified example of the above, and FIG. 70 is a cross-sectional view showing a fourth modified example of the fixed collaborative means.

In the first modification, the large diameter portion 528 and the reinforcing portion 522 of the shaft portion 523 are located at positions facing one end surface of the supported portion 606 in the axial direction of the variable member 601A (see FIG. 67). The end portion 609 of the supported portion 606 is composed of an outer peripheral portion 609b and an inner peripheral portion 609c, and the outer peripheral portion 609b is projected from the inner peripheral portion 609c toward the door frame 203. Both the outer surface 609d of the outer peripheral portion 609b and the outer surface 609d of the inner peripheral portion 609c are formed in a curved surface shape convex toward the door frame 203 side.
Therefore, in the first modification, when the variable member 601A is rotated, the outer peripheral portion 609b of the supported portion 606 is made slidable to the reinforcing portion 522, and the inner peripheral portion 609c of the supported portion 606 is the shaft portion 523. It is made slidable on the large diameter portion 528 of the.

In this way, when the variable member 601A rotates, the outer peripheral portion 609b is made slidable to the reinforcing portion 522, the inner peripheral portion 609c is made slidable to the large diameter portion 528, and each portion of the supported portion 606 is inside. Since it is in a state of being received on the outside, the supported portion 606 is unlikely to fall with respect to the shaft portion 523, and a smooth rotational operation of the variable member 601A can be ensured.
Further, since both the outer surface 609d of the outer peripheral portion 609b of the supported portion 606 and the outer surface 609d of the inner peripheral portion 609c are formed in a convex curved surface shape toward the door frame 203 side, either the outer peripheral portion 609b or the inner peripheral portion 609c is formed. Is also slid with respect to the reinforcing portion 522 and the large diameter portion 528 in a line contact state, the load at the time of rotation of the variable member 601A is small, and a smoother rotational operation of the variable member 601A can be ensured.

In the second modification, the shaft portion 523 is not provided with the large diameter portion 528, and the supported portion 606 of the variable member 601A is in a state of being received by the reinforcing portion 522 in the axial direction (see FIG. 68). ). Therefore, when the variable member 601A is rotated, the end portion 609 of the supported portion 606 is made slidable to the reinforcing portion 522.

As described above, in the second modification, since the end portion 609 of the supported portion 606 is slidable to the reinforcing portion 522, the reinforcing portion 522 has a function of reinforcing the shaft portion 523 and the supported portion. It has a function of receiving the 606 in the axial direction, and it is possible to improve the strength of the shaft portion 523 and ensure the smooth rotation operation of the variable member 601A while simplifying the configuration.

In the third modification, the outer diameter of the large diameter portion 528 in the shaft portion 523 is made larger than the outer diameter of the supported portion 606 (see FIG. 69). Therefore, when the variable member 601A is rotated, the end portion 609 of the supported portion 606 is made slidable to the large diameter portion 528 which is larger than the outer diameter of the supported portion 606.

As described above, in the third modification, the outer diameter of the large diameter portion 528 is larger than the outer diameter of the supported portion 606. Therefore, for example, the supported portion 606 with respect to the outer diameter of the large diameter portion 528 depends on the processing accuracy. Even when the outer diameter of is different from the design dimension, the outer peripheral side portion of the large diameter portion 528 is formed as a margin for processing accuracy.
Therefore, since the end portion 609 of the supported portion 606 is reliably received by the large diameter portion 528 in the axial direction, the supported portion 606 is less likely to fall with respect to the shaft portion 523, and the smooth rotation operation of the variable member 601A is ensured. can do.

In the fourth modification, the outer diameter of the large diameter portion 528 in the shaft portion 523 is made smaller than the outer diameter of the supported portion 606 (see FIG. 70). Therefore, when the variable member 601A is rotated, the end portion 609 of the supported portion 606 is made slidable to the large diameter portion 528 whose outer diameter is smaller than the outer diameter of the supported portion 606.

As described above, in the fourth modification, since the outer diameter of the large diameter portion 528 is smaller than the outer diameter of the supported portion 606, the large diameter portion 528 is irrespective of the shape of the end portion 609 of the supported portion 606. And the contact area of the end 609 becomes smaller.
Therefore, for example, even if the shape of the end portion 609 is different from the design shape due to the processing accuracy, the friction generated between the supported portion 606 and the large diameter portion 528 when the variable member 601A rotates. The force is reduced, and the smooth rotational operation of the variable member 601A can be ensured.

In the third modification and the fourth modification described above, the shaft portion 523 is provided with the large diameter portion 528, and the supported portion 606 of the variable member 601A is received by the large diameter portion 528. In the third modification and the fourth modification, the shaft portion 523 is not provided with the large diameter portion 528, the end portion 609 is configured to be received by the reinforcing portion 522, and the outer diameter of the reinforcing portion 522 is the supported portion 606. It can also be configured to be larger or smaller than the outer diameter of.

Further, also in the second modification to the fourth modification, the outer surface 609a of the end portion 609 of the supported portion 606 is formed in a convex curved surface shape toward the door frame 203 side, and the end portion 609 is the reinforcing portion 522. The variable member 601A can be slid in a line contact state with respect to the variable member 601A to ensure a smooth rotational operation (see FIGS. 68 to 70).

It should be noted that the outer surface 609a of the end portion 609 of the supported portion 606 in the second modification to the fourth modification has been described as being formed in a convex curved surface shape on the door frame 203 side, respectively. The outer surface 609a of the end portion 609 of the supported portion 606 in the modified example to the fourth modified example may be formed in a plane shape so as to be substantially parallel to the base surface 203a of the door frame 203.
As a result, the contact area between the large diameter portion 528 or the reinforcing portion 522 and the end portion 609 can be increased. By keeping the frictional force generated between the large diameter portion 528 or the reinforcing portion 522 and the end portion 609 at the time of rotation of the variable member 601A to a certain extent, the momentum of rotation of the variable member 601A can be reduced in advance. As a result, it is possible to prevent the transparent plate unit 300 from being released from being fixed to the door frame 203 due to the rotation of the variable member 601A due to an impact or the like applied to the gaming machine 1.

(Effect in the second embodiment)
As described above, in the variable member 601A, the holding protrusion 603 projecting from the fixed portion 607 toward the door frame 203 has an outer surface formed in a curved surface shape that is convex toward the door frame 203, and thus is the first restriction. The holding protrusion 603 can easily ride on the means 503A.
Therefore, it is possible to reduce the wear of the first regulating means 503A and the pressing protrusion 603. Further, the smooth rotation operation of the variable member 601A can be ensured, and the reliability of the operation can be improved.

Further, since the handle portion 605 formed of resin in the variable member 601A is positioned apart from the flange portion 623 of the screw member 620, the handle portion 605 is formed of metal when the variable member 601A rotates. It does not come into contact with the flange portion 623 of the screw member 620.
Therefore, since the wear of the handle portion 605 can be prevented, the service life of the variable member 601A can be improved, and the variable member 601A can be smoothly held by ensuring a stable gripping state of the finger with respect to the handle portion 605. Rotational operation can be realized.

Further, both the shaft portion 523 and the variable member 601A are formed of resin, and when the variable member 601A rotates, the outer peripheral surface 606c of the shaft portion 523 and the inner peripheral surface 606b of the supported portion 606 are slid. At this time, when at least one of the shaft portion 523 or the variable member 601A is made of metal, the member made of resin is likely to be worn when sliding.
Therefore, as described above, by forming both the shaft portion 523 and the variable member 601A from resin, the wear of the shaft portion 523 and the supported portion 606 is reduced, and a gap is unlikely to occur between the two, so that the variable member 601A can be used. Smooth rotation operation can be ensured.

However, at least one of the shaft portion 523 and the variable member 601A may be formed of metal. As a result, it is possible to improve the strength and the service life of the member made of metal. For example, the shaft portion 523 may be formed of metal, and the variable member 601A may be formed of resin. In this case, the variable member 601A is likely to be worn due to the rotation of the variable member 601A with respect to the shaft portion 523, but the variable member 601A can be easily replaced by removing the screw member 620, which improves maintainability. Can be planned.

The shaft portion 523 and the supported portion 606 may be formed of resin at least in contact with each other. That is, it is not necessary that the shaft portion 523 and the variable member 601A are all formed of resin, and the portions other than the portions that come into contact with each other may be formed of metal from the viewpoint of improving durability.
By forming a part of the variable member 601A and the shaft portion 523 with metal and forming the portion in contact with each other with resin, the strength of each other can be improved and the wear of the shaft portion 523 and the variable member 601A can be suppressed. can.

Further, when the variable member 601A rotates, a force is applied to the shaft portion 523 from the supported portion 606. At this time, the shaft portion 523 may fall down depending on the magnitude of the force applied from the supported portion 606 to the shaft portion 523. Further, when the transparent plate unit 300 is pressed against the door frame 203 by the fixing portion 607, a large load may be applied from the supported portion 606 to the shaft portion 523.

Therefore, as described above, the durability of the shaft portion 523 can be improved by providing the reinforcing portion 522 around the base end portion of the shaft portion 523.
Further, since the reinforcing portion 522 is formed in an annular shape, the reinforcing portion 522 is not angular, so that concentrated stress is unlikely to occur in the reinforcing portion 522, and the strength of the reinforcing portion 522 and the shaft portion 523 is further improved. It is possible to secure a stable rotational operation of the variable member 601A.

Further, since the variable member 601A and the first regulating means 503A are both formed of resin, when the variable member 601A and the first regulating means 503A come into contact with each other, the resins come into contact with each other. Therefore, wear due to contact between the variable member 601A and the first regulating means 503A is suppressed, and the durability of the variable member 601A and the first regulating means 503A can be improved.

The contents of the above-mentioned formation of the variable member 601A and the first regulating means 503A by metal or resin also include the relationship between the variable member 601A and the second regulating means 504A and the relationship between the variable member 601A and the pressed portion 307. Can be applied.
That is, it is desirable that at least a portion of the variable member 601A and the second regulating means 504A in contact with each other is made of resin, and the whole may be made of resin. Further, it is desirable that at least a portion of the variable member 601A and the pressed portion 307 in contact with each other is made of resin, and the entire portion may be made of resin.
As described above, in the variable member 601A and the second regulating means 504A, or in the variable member 601A and the pressed portion 307, at least the portions in contact with each other are made of resin, so that the wear of both is suppressed and the durability is suppressed. It can be improved.

Further, in the variable member 601A, the handle portion 605 and the supported portion 606 are integrally formed via the handle reinforcing portion 608 protruding from the rear surface of the fixed portion 607 toward the game board 103.
Since the handle portion 605 rotates the variable member 601A, it is often gripped by an operator and a force is applied. Therefore, a large force is likely to be applied to the handle portion 605 due to the force applied by the operator.
Therefore, by providing the handle reinforcing portion 608 that connects the two between the handle portion 605 and the supported portion 606, the durability of the handle portion 605 can be improved, and the handle portion 605 is damaged or the like. Can be prevented.

Further, the supported portion 606 is connected to the handle portion 605 by the handle reinforcing portion 608, and the strength of the supported portion 606 is increased, so that the smooth rotation operation of the variable member 601A can be ensured.

Further, in the variable member 601A, the handle portion 605 protrudes rearward from the fixed portion 607, and the handle portion 605 also functions as a rib for reinforcing the fixed portion 607. Therefore, since the strength of the fixing portion 607 is increased without the need for a dedicated rib for reinforcing the fixing portion 607, the strength of the fixing portion 607 can be improved by a simple configuration and the handle is reinforced. The functionality of the unit 608 can be improved.

Furthermore, in the variable member 601A, the handle reinforcing portion 608 is projected rearward from the fixed portion 607, and the handle portion 605 and the supported portion 606 are connected to each other, so that the handle portion 605 is fixed. It also functions as a rib to reinforce the portion 607, the handle portion 605, and the supported portion 606.
Therefore, since the strength of the fixed portion 607, the handle portion 605, and the supported portion 606 is increased without the need for a dedicated rib for reinforcing the fixed portion 607, the handle portion 605, and the supported portion 606, the fixed portion 607 is fixed. The strength of the portion 607, the handle portion 605, and the supported portion 606 can be improved by a simple configuration, and the functionality of the handle reinforcing portion 608 can be improved.

In the above, the fixed collaborative means 500A and the fixed collaborative means 500B have a symmetrical configuration except for a portion having a different configuration, and are provided at symmetrical positions with respect to the center in the left-right direction of the door frame 203. (See FIGS. 15, 54, 62, etc.), but the components common to the fixed collaborative means 500A and the fixed collaborative means 500B, for example, the shaft portion 523, the first regulating means 503A, and the second. The regulating means 504A may not be provided symmetrically with respect to the center of the door frame 203 in the left-right direction. As a result, the degree of freedom regarding the arrangement position of the shaft portion 523, the first regulating means 503A, and the second regulating means 504A is improved, and the space efficiency of the rear surface of the door frame 203 can be improved.

Further, although the above shows an example in which the variable member 601A is provided with a holding protrusion 603 that protrudes forward and has a curved outer surface, the variable member 601A has a hemispherical shape that is concave on the game board 103 side. It may be formed as an insertion hole of. Further, the first regulating means 503A is provided with a protrusion protruding toward the game board 103 for inserting into the insertion hole formed in the variable member 601A.
In this case, when the variable member 601A is rotated toward the first regulating means 503A, the surface of the fixing portion 607 on the base surface 203a side rides on the protrusion provided on the first regulating means 503A. , The momentum of rotation of the variable member 601A is reduced. Then, the variable member 601A is held by the first regulating means 503A by inserting the protrusion provided in the first regulating means 503A into the insertion hole formed in the fixing portion 607.
Further, when an insertion hole is formed in the variable member 601A, a protrusion is provided in the pressed portion 307 instead of the locking portion 309. When the pressed portion 307 is pressed against the door frame 203 by the variable member 601A, the protrusion of the pressed portion 307 is inserted into the insertion hole formed in the variable member 601A, so that the pressed portion 307 is pressed by the variable member 601A. Can be pressed against the door frame 203.

[6-2-2. Variable member rotation state]
Next, the rotational state of the variable member 601A will be described (see FIGS. 71 to 87).
As described above, the variable member 601A is located on the left and right, and the rotational state is the same for the left and right variable members 601A. Therefore, in the following, as an example, the variable member 601A is located on the right side when viewed from the front. The rotation state of the member 601A will be described.
Further, in the following description of the rotational state, the variable member 601A located on the right side when viewed from the front is viewed from the rear, and the clockwise direction is the R1 direction as the rotational direction of the variable member 601A, which is counterclockwise. The clockwise direction is the R2 direction.

(Movable position of variable member)
First, the movable position of the variable member 601A will be described (see FIGS. 71 to 73).
There are at least a first position, a second position, and a third position as movable positions of the variable member 601A, and the movable positions are the first position P1, the second position P2, and the third position in order in the R1 direction. It is said to be P3. In the following, for ease of explanation, the variable member 601A is movable with a straight line shown by a broken line connecting the center point of the holding protrusion 603 and the rotation fulcrum M (axis center of the shaft portion 523) of the variable member 601A. It is specified as a position for convenience.

The first position P1 as the movable position of the variable member 601A is a position in which the transparent plate unit 300 is pressed against the door frame 203 and fixed (see FIG. 71).
That is, the first position P1 is a position where the pressing protrusion 603 is inserted (locked) into the locking portion 309 formed in the pressed portion 307 of the transparent plate unit 300.

The second position P2 as a movable position of the variable member 601A is a position from when the pressing protrusion 603 comes into contact with the first regulating means 503 until it gets over it (see FIG. 72).
That is, when the variable member 601A rotates, the position from when the pressing protrusion 603 comes into contact with the first regulating means 503A until it rides on the first regulating means 503 and gets over the first regulating means 503 is the second position. Corresponds to position P2. The second position P2 is not limited to the rotation direction of the variable member 601A, but is a position from when the pressing protrusion 603 comes into contact with the first regulating means 503 until it gets over it.

The third position P3 as a movable position of the variable member 601A is a position where the outer peripheral surface 606c of the fixing portion 607 is in contact with the second regulating means 504 (see FIG. 73).
That is, when the variable member 601A is rotated in the R1 direction, the position rotated to the rotation end in the R1 direction corresponds to the third position P3. At the third position P3, a gap BK1 is generated between the first regulating means 503A and the pressing protrusion 603.

(Rotating operation of variable member)
Next, the rotational operation of the variable member 601A will be described (see FIGS. 74 to 79).
FIG. 74 is a diagram showing a state in which the variable member is held in the initial position, and FIG. 75 is a diagram in which the variable member is rotated from the initial position to a third position and the pressing protrusion is in contact with the first regulating means. FIG. 76 is a diagram showing a state in which the variable member is rotated toward a third position and rotation is restricted by the first regulating means. FIG. 77 is a diagram showing a state in which the variable member is rotated toward the third position and overcomes the first restricting means to release the restriction on rotation, and FIG. 78 is a diagram showing a state in which the variable member is moved to the third position. FIG. 79 is a diagram showing a state in which rotation is restricted by the second regulating means, and FIG. 79 is a diagram showing a state in which the holding protrusion portion of the variable member is held in the holding space by the first regulating means.
In FIGS. 74 to 79, FIG. A is a rear view showing a rotation position of the variable member 601A with respect to the first reinforcing rib 524, and FIG. B is a rear view showing the positional relationship of the variable member 601A with respect to the first reinforcing rib 524. It is sectional drawing which shows.

In the state before the transparent plate unit 300 is pressed against the door frame 203, the variable member 601A is placed in the initial position where the pressing protrusion 603 is located at the lowermost position due to its own weight when no force is applied from the fixed collaborative means 500. It is retained (see Figure 74). In the initial position, the center of the holding protrusion 603 is located directly below the central axis of the shaft portion 523.

When the operator grips the handle portion 605 and rotates the variable member 601A in the R1 direction while the variable member 601A is in the initial position, the holding protrusion 603 is secondly reinforced by the first regulating means 503A. It comes into contact with the rib 525A side, and the momentum of rotation of the variable member 601A is reduced (see FIG. 75). The state in which the pressing protrusion 603 is in contact with the first regulating means 503A from the side of the second reinforcing rib 525A corresponds to the second position P2 of the variable member 601A.

Further, when the variable member 601A is rotated in the R1 direction, the fixed portion 607 is elastically deformed with respect to the supported portion 606, the pressing protrusion 603 is slid by the first regulating means 503A, and the pressing protrusion 603 is formed. Is placed on the first regulating means 503A, and the rotation of the variable member 601A is restricted by the first regulating means 503A (see FIG. 76). The state in which the pressing portion 603 rides on the first regulating means 503A also corresponds to the second position P2 of the variable member 601A. At this time, the momentum of rotation of the variable member 601A is further reduced.

When the variable member 601A is further rotated in the R1 direction, the pressing protrusion 603 gets over the first regulating means 503A (see FIG. 77). The state in which the variable member 601A has passed over the first regulating means 503A also corresponds to the second position P2 of the variable member 601A.

When the pressing protrusion 603 gets over the first regulating means 503A, the fixing portion 607 is elastically restored, and the pressing protrusion 603 is positioned in the holding space 530 which is the outer space of the first regulating means 503A in the left-right direction. The restriction on the rotation of the variable member 601A is released.
Immediately after the pressing protrusion 603 has passed over the first regulating means 503A, the pressing protrusion 603 is in contact with the first regulating means 503A from above.

When the pressing protrusion 603 gets over the first regulating means 503A, the fixing portion 607 is elastically restored, and the pressing protrusion 603 is located in the holding space 530 which is the outer space of the first regulating means 503A in the left-right direction. ..

In a state where the holding protrusion 603 is held in the holding space 530 over the first regulating means 503A, the variable member 601A is further slightly rotatable in the R1 direction.
When the variable member 601A is further rotated in the R1 direction, the outer peripheral surface 606c of the fixing portion 607 is brought into contact with the second regulating means 504A (see FIG. 78). The position where the outer peripheral surface 606c of the fixed portion 607 is in contact with the second regulating means 504A corresponds to the third position P3 of the variable member 601A. The variable member 601A is restricted from rotating in the R1 direction by the second regulating means 504A at the third position.

Since the variable member 601A is slightly rotatable in the R1 direction in a state where the holding protrusion 603 is held in the holding space 530 over the first regulating means 503A, the fixed portion 607 is second regulated. In the state of being in contact with the means 504A, a gap BK1 is generated between the first regulating means 503A and the pressing protrusion 603.

When the holding protrusion 603 is held in the holding space 530 and no force is applied to the variable member 601A in the R2 direction, the holding protrusion 603 is used as the first regulating means 503A and the second regulating means 504A. The holding protrusion 603, which is brought into contact with the holding space 530 from the side, does not ride on the first regulating means 503A from the second regulating means 504A side (see FIG. 79). Therefore, the variable member 601A is also restricted from rotating in the R2 direction by the first regulating means 503A.
In a state where the pressing protrusion 603 is in contact with the first regulating means 503A from the second regulating means 504A side, a gap BK2 is generated between the second regulating means 504A and the variable member 601A.

On the other hand, when the operator grips the handle portion 605 and rotates the variable member 601A in the R2 direction while the holding protrusion 603 is held in the holding space 530, the holding protrusion 603 becomes the first restriction. Overcome means 503A.
At this time, the fixed portion 607 is elastically deformed with respect to the supported portion 606, the pressing protrusion 603 is slid to the first regulating means 503A, the fixed portion 607 is elastically restored, and the supported portion 603 is the first regulating means. The variable member 601A is rotated toward the initial position by passing the 503A from the second regulating means 504A side to the second reinforcing rib 525A side.

In a state where the variable member 601A is rotated in the R1 direction from the initial position toward the second regulating means 504A, if the first regulating means 503A is not provided, the momentum of the rotating variable member 601A is weakened. There is a risk of coming into contact with the second regulatory means 504A without doing so. In such a case, the second regulating means 504A or the variable member 601A may be damaged by the impact caused by the contact of the variable member 601A.

Therefore, as described above, the holding protrusion 603 is slid on the first regulating means 503A before the variable member 601A rotated in the R1 direction comes into contact with the second regulating means 504A. The momentum towards the second regulatory means 504A of 601A is reduced. As a result, damage to the second regulating means 504A and the variable member 601A can be prevented, and the durability of the second regulating means 504A and the variable member 601A can be improved.

Further, when fixing the transparent plate unit 300 to the door frame 203, it is necessary to press the transparent plate unit 300 against the door frame 203 in advance, but depending on the rotation position of the variable member 601A, the transparent plate unit 300 and the door frame 203 The variable member 601A may be caught between the two, which may hinder the fixing work of the transparent plate unit 300 to the door frame 203. Further, if the variable member 601A is sandwiched between the transparent plate unit 300 and the door frame 203, the variable member 601A may be damaged.
Further, when the transparent plate unit 300 is removed from the door frame 203 and the operator performs various operations, if the variable member 601A rotates due to vibration or its own weight, it interferes with the work or becomes a substrate during the work. The connected cable or the like may come into contact with the variable member 601A and damage the cable.

Therefore, by providing the first regulating means 503A and holding the pressing protrusion 603 in the holding space 530, the variable member 601A changes the transparent plate unit 300 when the fixing work of the transparent plate unit 300 to the door frame 203 is performed. Since it is held at a position where it does not come into contact with the door frame 203, the transparent plate unit 300 can be easily and quickly fixed to the door frame 203.
Further, by holding the holding protrusion 603 in the holding space 530, the variable member 601A can be held at a position separated from the existing area of the cable or the like, and problems such as damage to the cable can be prevented. You can also do it.

In addition, in a state where the variable member 601A is in contact with the second regulating means 504A, a gap BK1 is formed between the first regulating means 503A and the pressing protrusion 603 (see FIG. 78).
As a result, in a state where the rotation of the variable member 601A is restricted by the second regulating means 504A, the holding protrusion 603 is slightly rotatable (displaceable) in the rotation direction of the variable member 601A in the holding space 530. Has been made.

In the variable member 601A, the operator cannot visually recognize the pressing protrusion 603 from the rear, and the position of the pressing protrusion 603 with respect to the first regulating means 503A is unclear depending on the rotation position when the variable member 601A is rotated. There are also things. For example, even if the operator recognizes that the pressing protrusion 603 has overcome the first regulating means 503A on the second regulating means 504A side, the pressing protrusion 603 actually becomes the first regulating means 503A. It is possible that it will remain on the road.
In such a case, the variable member 601A is rotated in the R2 direction away from the second regulating means 504A due to an impact or the like, and the pressing protrusion 603 sets the first regulating means 503A from the second regulating means 504A side. There is a possibility that the reinforcing rib 2 may get over the side of the reinforcing rib 525A and the regulation by the second regulating means 504A of the holding protrusion 603 may be released.

Therefore, in a state where the variable member 601A is in contact with the second regulating means 504A, a gap BK is formed between the first regulating means 503A and the pressing protrusion 603, so that the variable member 601A is the first. When the operator touches the variable member 601A while being rotated toward the regulating means 504A of 2, if the holding protrusion 603 is displaced, the variable member 601A is regulated by the second regulating means 504A. Can be easily recognized.
Therefore, the regulated state of the variable member 601A by the second regulating means 504A can be easily and surely set.

Further, even if there is a misalignment between the first regulating means 503A and the second regulating means 504A or a misalignment of the pressing protrusion 603 with respect to the first regulating means 503A or the second regulating means 504A due to the processing accuracy, there is a gap. By setting the BK, the gap BK functions as a margin for absorbing the misalignment.
Therefore, in a state where the variable member 601A is slid on the first regulating means 503A, the holding protrusion 603 can be configured to surely get over the first regulating means 503A on the second regulating means 504A side.

(Operation of variable member in fixing work)
Next, the operation of the variable member 601A in the fixing work of the transparent plate unit 300 with respect to the opening / closing body 200 will be described (see FIGS. 80 to 87).
FIG. 80 is a rear view showing a state in which the variable member is held before the fixed body is fixed, and FIG. 81 is a rear view showing a state in which the fixed body is positioned on the door frame. FIG. 82 is a rear view. Is a rear view showing a state in which the variable member is rotated toward the first position, and FIG. 83 is a rear view showing a state in which the holding protrusion is a transparent plate when the variable member is rotated toward the first position. FIG. 84 is a rear view showing a state in which the unit is in contact with the pressed portion, and FIG. 84 is a state in which the pressing protrusion portion rides on the inclined portion of the pressed portion when the variable member is rotated toward the first position. It is a rear view which shows. FIG. 85 is a rear view showing a state in which the variable member is rotated to the first position, the holding protrusion is locked to the locking portion, and the transparent plate unit is fixed to the opening / closing body. FIG. 86 is a rear view showing a state in which the variable member is fixed to the opening / closing body. FIG. 87 is a cross-sectional view showing a state in which the holding protrusion is locked to the locking portion and the transparent plate unit is fixed to the opening / closing body. It is a rear view which shows the state which rotation is restricted by a part.

First, before the transparent plate unit 300 is fixed to the door frame 203 of the opening / closing body 200, the holding protrusion 603 of the variable member 601A is held in the holding space 530 (see FIG. 80). At this time, in the variable member 601A, the pressing protrusion 603 is in contact with the first regulating means 503A from the second regulating means 504A side, and the variable member 601A is held at a position separated upward from the positioning protrusion 507.

Next, as described above, in the state where the transparent plate unit 300 is mounted on the transparent plate mounting means 400, the transparent plate unit 300 is pressed against the rear surface of the door frame 203 and the door is inserted into the positioning hole 308 of the pressed portion 307. The positioning protrusion 507 of the frame 203 is inserted (see FIG. 81). By inserting the positioning protrusion 507 into the positioning hole 308, the transparent plate unit 300 is positioned with respect to the door frame 203.
At this time, since the holding protrusion 603 of the variable member 601A is held in the holding space 530, the variable member 601A does not come into contact with the pressed portion 307, and the fixing work can be performed smoothly and quickly.

Next, as described above, in the state where the transparent plate unit 300 is positioned on the door frame 203, the operator grips the handle portion 605 and rotates the variable member 601A in the R2 direction. When the variable member 601A is rotated in the R2 direction, the holding protrusion 603 is brought into a state of being in contact with the first regulating means 503A from the second regulating means 504A side and riding on the first regulating means 503A. (See FIG. 82). At this time, in the variable member 601A, the fixing portion 607 is elastically deformed, and the pressing protrusion 603 is slid by the first regulating means 503A, so that the momentum of rotation of the variable member 601A is reduced.
By rotating the variable member 601A in the R2 direction, the fixing portion 607 is brought into a state of being overlapped with the pressed portion 307 of the transparent plate unit 300 from the rear.

Further, when the variable member 601A is rotated in the R2 direction, the pressing protrusion 603 gets over the first regulating means 503A, and the fixed portion 607 is elastically restored (see FIG. 83). When the pressing protrusion 603 gets over the first regulating means 503A, the variable member 601A is brought into a state where the pressing protrusion 603 comes into contact with the inclined portion 312 of the pressed portion 307.

Furthermore, when the variable member 601A is rotated in the R2 direction, the pressing protrusion 603 rides on the inclined portion 312 and the pressing protrusion 603 is slid on the inclined portion 312 (see FIG. 84). At this time, the fixed portion 607 of the variable member 601A is elastically deformed again, and the state of pressing the pressed portion 307 against the door frame 203 by the variable member 601A is started.
Since the inclined portion 312 is formed in the pressed portion 307 in this way, the pressing protrusion 603 is guided by the inclined portion 312 and moved in a direction approaching the locking portion 309 of the pressed portion 307, so that the pressing portion 307 is pressed. The protrusion 603 can be easily put on the pressed portion 307.

After the pressing portion 603 is guided by the inclined portion 312 and rides on the pressed portion 307, when the variable member 601A is further rotated in the R2 direction, the pressing protrusion 603 becomes the locking portion 309 of the pressed portion 307. It is inserted (locked) (see FIGS. 85 and 86). At this time, the pressing protrusion 603 is guided by the diameter changing portion 309b of the locking portion 309 and approaches the unchanged portion 309a.
In the state where the pressing portion 603 is locked to the locking portion 309, the variable member 601A is in a state where the fixing portion 607 is still elastically deformed, and the outer surface of the pressing protrusion 603 is the diameter changing portion of the locking portion 309. It is pressed against 309b, and the locked state of the pressing protrusion 603 with respect to the locking portion 309 is secured.
As a result, the transparent plate unit 300 is pressed against the door frame 203 by the variable member 601A, and the transparent plate unit 300 is fixed to the opening / closing body 200 by the variable member 601A.

In the state where the pressing portion 603 is locked to the locking portion 309, the outer peripheral surface 606c of the fixing portion 607 is positioned close to the top surface 310d of the stopper portion 310 provided on the pressed portion 307 (FIG. See 85).

In the state where the transparent plate unit 300 is fixed to the door frame 203, for example, when an impact or an operation on the variable member 601A by the operator further applies a force in the R2 direction to the variable member 601A, the holding protrusion portion. The 603 is displaced in the direction of being pulled out from the locking portion 309 (see FIG. 87).
However, at this time, since the outer peripheral surface 606c of the fixing portion 607 is located close to the top surface 310d of the stopper portion 310, the variable member 601A rotated in the R2 direction locks the entire holding protrusion 603. The outer peripheral surface 606c of the fixing portion 607 comes into contact with the stopper portion 310 before being pulled out from the portion 309.

Therefore, the stopper portion 310 restricts the rotation of the variable member 601A in the R2 direction. In a state where the rotation of the variable member 601A in the R2 direction is restricted by the stopper portion 310, the entire holding protrusion 603 is not pulled out from the locking portion 309, so that the variable member 601A is provided with respect to the variable member 601A. When the force in the R2 direction is released, the pressing protrusion 603 is guided by the diameter changing portion 309b of the locking portion 309 and approaches the unchanged portion 309a.
As a result, the outer surface of the pressing protrusion 603 is pressed against the diameter changing portion 309b of the locking portion 309, and the locked state of the pressing protrusion 603 with respect to the locking portion 309 is secured again.

Since the transparent plate unit 300 is provided with the stopper portion 310 in this way, the stopper portion 310 restricts the excessive rotation of the variable member 601A in the R2 direction, and ensures that the transparent plate unit 300 is attached to the opening / closing body 200. Can be fixed.

Even if the stopper portion 307 of the transparent plate unit 300 is not provided with the stopper portion 310 and the outer peripheral surface 606c of the fixing portion 607 is in contact with the holding frame portion 303, the rotation of the variable member 601A in the R2 direction is restricted. good.
This eliminates the need for a space for providing the stopper portion 310, so that the pressed portion 307 can be made smaller. Therefore, the transparent plate unit 300 can be made smaller and lighter.
Further, for example, even when the pressing protrusion 603 is pulled out from the locking portion 309 by excessively rotating the variable member 601A in the R2 direction, the outer peripheral surface 606c of the fixing portion 607 is attached to the holding frame portion 303. By contacting the pressed portion 603, the pressed portion 307 can be held in a pressed state. Therefore, even if the variable member 601A rotates excessively in the R2 direction, the holding of the transparent plate unit 300 against the door frame 203 by the variable member 601A is not released, and the transparent plate unit 300 falls off from the door frame 203. Can be prevented.

The fixing of the transparent plate unit 300 from the opening / closing body 200 can be released by the reverse operation of the fixing operation described above.
That is, the fixing of the transparent plate unit 300 from the opening / closing body 200 can be released by rotating the variable member 601A in the R1 direction to release the locked state of the pressing protrusion 603 with respect to the locking portion 309. ..

At this time, by rotating the variable member 601A in the R1 direction until the pressing protrusion 603 is held in the holding space 530, the variable member 601A comes into contact with the pressed portion 307 even when the hand is released from the variable member 601A. There is nothing to do.
Therefore, by rotating the variable member 601A in the R1 direction until the holding protrusion 603 is held in the holding space 530, interference between the transparent plate unit 300 and the variable member 601A is avoided, and the transparent plate unit 300 is opened and closed. It can be easily removed from 200.

[6-2-3. Variable member rotation angle]
Hereinafter, the rotation angle of the variable member 601A will be described with reference to FIG. 88.
As described above, as the movable position of the variable member 601A, the first position P1 in a state where the transparent plate unit 300 is pressed and fixed to the door frame 203 (see FIG. 71), and the pressing protrusion 603 is the first regulating means. There is a second position P2 from contacting 503 to getting over (see FIG. 72), and a third position P3 in which the outer peripheral surface 606c of the fixing portion 607 is in contact with the second regulating means 504 (see FIG. 73). ).
In order to facilitate the following explanation, the position where the holding protrusion 603 is in contact with the first regulating means 503A from the lower side of the second position P2 is the second position P2a, and the holding protrusion 603 is the first. The position in contact with the regulating means 503A from above will be described as the second position P2b (see FIG. 88).

With the rotation fulcrum M as the center, the rotation angle α1 is set from the first position P1 to the second position P2a, the rotation angle α2 is set from the second position P2a to the second position P2b, and the second position is set. The rotation angle α3 is defined as the rotation angle α3 from P2b to the third position.

"Specified angle"
The angles specified above are as follows.
α1: Rotation angle from the first position P1 centered on the rotation fulcrum M to the second position P2a α2: Rotation from the second position P2a centered on the rotation fulcrum M to the second position P2b Dynamic angle α3: Rotation angle from the second position P2b about the rotation fulcrum M to the third position P3

"Solution"
In the gaming machine 1, it is necessary to improve workability when fixing the transparent plate unit 300 to the opening / closing body 200, secure a stable rotating state of the variable member 601A, and the like. Therefore, the rotation angle of the variable member 601A is set as follows.

"Magnitude of angle α"
(Comparison of all angles α)
The rotation angle α1 from the first position P1 to the second position P2a is made larger than the rotation angle α2 from the second position P2a to the second position P2b.
Further, the rotation angle α2 from the second position P2a to the second position P2b is made larger than the rotation angle α3 from the second position P2b to the third position P3.
Therefore, the relationship is α1>α2> α3.

(About α1> α2)
The rotation angle α1 from the first position P1 to the second position P2a is made larger than the rotation angle α2 from the second position P2a to the second position P2b.

The transparent plate unit 300 is fixed to the door frame 203 by inserting the pressing protrusion 603 of the variable member 601A into the locking portion 309 of the pressed portion 307. Therefore, in order to securely fix the transparent plate unit 300 to the door frame 203, the size of the pressing protrusion 603 and the size of the locking portion 309 need to be set to a certain size or more.
On the other hand, if the rotation angle α1 is small, depending on the size of the pressing protrusion 603, when the variable member 601A rotates in the R1 direction, the pressing protrusion 603 may have the inclined portion 312 of the pressed portion 307 and the first regulating means 503A. There is a risk that you will be in a state of riding on both.

At this time, the operator can recognize that the holding protrusion 603 is in contact with any part, but since the holding protrusion 603 cannot be visually recognized from the rear, the holding protrusion 603 rides on the first regulating means 503A. It is difficult to determine whether the vehicle is in the state of being on the inclined portion 312 of the pressed portion 307 or in the state of being on the inclined portion 312. Whether or not the pressing portion 603 is pressing the pressed portion 307 is an important matter when attaching and detaching the transparent plate unit 300, and the pressing protrusion 603 is applied to both the first regulating means 503A and the inclined portion 312. It is necessary not to ride at the same time.

Therefore, by increasing the rotation angle α1 from the first position P1 to the second position P2a and increasing the distance from the inclined portion 312 to the first regulating means 503A, the pressing protrusion 603 becomes the inclined portion 312. And the first regulatory means 503A can be prevented from riding at the same time.

Further, if the rotatable angle of the variable member 601A is made too large, the rotation space of the variable member 601A in the door frame 203 must be increased accordingly. Further, when the rotation angle of the variable member 601A becomes large, the work time for the operator to fix the transparent plate unit 300 to the door frame 203 by the variable member 601A becomes long, which may lead to a decrease in workability.
Therefore, the angle from the first position P1 to the second position P2b should be as small as possible.

Therefore, by preventing the pressing protrusion 603 from riding on the inclined portion 312 and the first regulating means 503A at the same time and reducing the rotatable angle of the variable member 601A as much as possible, the variable member 601A in the door frame 203 It is possible to improve the work efficiency of the operator after reducing the rotation space of the door.

(About α2> α3)
The rotation angle α2 from the second position P2a to the second position P2b is made larger than the rotation angle α3 from the second position P2b to the third position P3.

As described above, it is desirable that the rotation angle of the variable member 601A is as small as possible from the viewpoint of improving the workability of the operator.
However, if the rotation angle α2 is made too small, the width of the first regulating means 503A may become too small accordingly. If the width of the first regulating means 503A becomes too small, the worker grips the handle portion 605 to rotate the variable member 601A, and when the worker rides on the first regulating means 503A, the variable member is used by the worker. When the 601A rides on the first restricting means 503A, the time for feeling resistance to rotation is short, and it may be difficult to determine whether or not the vehicle has been mounted.
Further, if the width of the first regulating means 503A is small, it becomes difficult to secure the strength of the first regulating means 503A, and the reinforcing effect when the first regulating means 503A functions as the first reinforcing rib 524 is small. Become. Further, if the width of the first regulating means 503A becomes too small, the strength of the first regulating means 503A itself may decrease and be damaged.

On the other hand, the rotation angle α3 from the second position P2b to the third position P3 is such that the holding protrusion 603 is slightly rotatable (displaceable) in the rotation direction of the variable member 601A in the holding space 530. The angle. That is, the angle is such that a gap BK1 is formed between the first regulating means 503A and the pressing protrusion 603 in a state where the variable member 601A is in contact with the second regulating means 504A (see FIG. 73).

By setting the rotation angle α3 to an angle such that a gap BK1 is generated, it is confirmed whether or not the holding protrusion 603 is displaced when the operator touches the variable member 601A, so that the variable member can be formed in the holding space 530. It can be easily confirmed whether or not 601A is held.

At this time, if the rotation angle α3 is increased, the rotatable angle of the variable member 601A is increased by that amount, and the rotation space of the variable member 601A in the door frame 203 is increased accordingly.

Therefore, by making the rotation angle α2 larger than the rotation angle α3, the high effect of the first regulating means 503A as the first reinforcing rib 524 is ensured, and the strength of the first regulating means 503A is increased. Above, the rotation angle of the variable member 601A can be made as small as possible to improve space efficiency.

[6-2-4. Distance of each part of the door frame]
Next, each distance from the base surface 203a of each part in the fixed collaborative means 500 will be described (see FIG. 89). The base surface 203a is an end surface of the door frame 203 on the game board 103 side.

As described above, the fixed collaborative means 500 has a positioning protrusion 507 protruding rearward from the base surface 203a, a first reinforcing rib 524, a second reinforcing rib 525A, and a shaft portion 523, respectively. The reinforcing rib 525A is provided with a first regulating means 503A and a second regulating means 504A.
When the variable member 601A is rotated, the holding protrusion 603 is slid by the first regulating means 503A to regulate the rotation, and the fixed portion 607 is in contact with the second regulating means 504A to regulate the rotation. A reinforcing portion 522 is provided around the base end portion of the shaft portion 523.

The height (distance) of the reinforcing portion 522 from the base surface 203a is M1, the height of the positioning protrusion 507 from the base surface 203a is M2, and the height of the second reinforcing rib 525A from the base surface 203a is high. M3, the height of the first regulating means 503A from the base surface 203a is M4, the height of the second regulating means 504A from the base surface 203a is M5, and the height of the shaft portion 523 from the base surface 203a. Let it be M6.

"Specified dimensions"
The dimensions specified above are as follows.
M1: Height of the reinforcing portion 522 from the base surface 203a M2: Height of the positioning protrusion 507 from the base surface 203a M3: Height of the second reinforcing rib 525A from the base surface 203a M4: First regulating means Height of 503A from base surface 203a M5: Height of second regulating means 504A from base surface 203a M6: Height of shaft portion 523 from base surface 203a

"Solution"
In the gaming machine 1, the smooth rotation operation of the variable member 601A is ensured, the stable support state of the variable member 601A with respect to the shaft portion 523 is secured, the strength of the door frame 203 including the shaft portion 523 is improved, and the transparent plate unit is used. It is necessary to improve workability when fixing the opening / closing body 200 of 300, and to reduce the size of the variable member 601A. Therefore, the dimension M of each part of the fixed collaborative means 500 is set as follows.

"Height of M"
(Comparison of all Ms)
In the fixed collaborative means 500, the height M1 of the reinforcing portion 522 from the base surface 203a is made smaller than the height M2 of the positioning protrusion 507 from the base surface 203a, and the height of the positioning protrusion 507 from the base surface 203a. M2 is made smaller than the height M3 of the second reinforcing rib 525A from the base surface 203a. Further, the height M3 of the second reinforcing rib 525A from the base surface 203a is made smaller than the height M4 of the first regulating means 503A from the base surface 203a, and the height of the first regulating means 503A from the base surface 203a. M4 is made smaller than the height M5 of the second regulating means 504A from the base surface 203a, and the height M5 of the second regulating means 504A from the base surface 203a is the height M6 of the shaft portion 523 from the base surface 203a. It has been made smaller.
Therefore, the relationship is M1 <M2 <M3 <M4 <M5 <M6.

(About M1 <M2)
In the fixed collaborative means 500, the height M1 of the reinforcing portion 522 from the base surface 203a is made smaller than the height M2 of the positioning protrusion 507 from the base surface 203a.

The positioning protrusion 507 is inserted into a positioning hole 308 formed in the pressed portion 307 of the transparent plate unit 300, and has a function of positioning the transparent plate unit 300 with respect to the opening / closing body 200, and the transparent plate unit 300 opens / closes. A certain height or more is required so as not to come out of the positioning hole 308 in the state of being positioned with respect to the body 200.

On the other hand, the reinforcing portion 522 is provided around the base end portion of the shaft portion 523 in order to reinforce the shaft portion 523, but the shaft portion 523 is inserted into the supported portion 606 of the variable member 601A to stabilize the variable member 601A. Since it is necessary to secure a supported state, it is desirable that the length in the axial direction is lengthened. However, if the height of the reinforcing portion 522 becomes higher, the rear end of the shaft portion 523 is positioned on the rear side by that amount, so that the operator is required to attach the transparent plate unit 300 to the opening / closing body 200 in the shaft portion 523. The possibility of contact increases, which may reduce workability and damage the shaft portion 523.

Therefore, as described above, the height M1 of the reinforcing portion 522 from the base surface 203a is made smaller than the height M2 of the positioning protrusion 507 from the base surface 203a so that M1 <M2. A sufficient height can be secured to ensure an appropriate positioning state of the transparent plate unit 300 with respect to the opening / closing body 200, and the shaft portion 523 is not positioned more than necessary on the rear side, and the shaft portion 523 is sufficiently reinforced. Above, workability can be improved and damage to the shaft portion 523 can be suppressed.

(About M2 <M3)
In the fixed collaborative means 500, the height M2 of the positioning protrusion 507 from the base surface 203a is made smaller than the height M3 of the second reinforcing rib 525A from the base surface 203a.

As described above, the positioning protrusion 507 is required to have a height of a certain value or more so that the transparent plate unit 300 does not come out of the positioning hole 308 when the transparent plate unit 300 is positioned with respect to the opening / closing body 200. If it is too high, the depth of the positioning hole 308 becomes deep, and it becomes necessary to increase the thickness of the pressed portion 307 having the positioning hole 308 by that amount. Therefore, the thickening of the pressed portion 307 causes the transparent plate unit 300 to become heavier and larger, and the burden on the operator when fixing the transparent plate unit 300 to the door frame 203 increases. However, the workability in the fixing work of the transparent plate unit 300 to the opening / closing body 200 is deteriorated.

On the other hand, the second reinforcing rib 525A has a function of reinforcing the door frame 203 together with the first reinforcing rib 524, and may be set to a certain height or higher in order to sufficiently reinforce the door frame 203. desirable.

Therefore, as described above, the height M2 from the base surface 203a of the positioning protrusion 507 is made smaller than the height M3 from the base surface 203a of the second reinforcing rib 525A so that M2 <M3. It is possible to sufficiently reinforce the 203 and improve the workability in the fixing work of the transparent plate unit 300 to the opening / closing body 200 by preventing the thickness of the pressed portion 307 of the transparent plate unit 300 from becoming unnecessarily thick. be able to.

(About M3 <M4)
In the fixed collaborative means 500, the height M3 of the second reinforcing rib 525A from the base surface 203a is made smaller than the height M4 of the first regulating means 503A from the base surface 203a.

Both the first reinforcing rib 524 and the second reinforcing rib 525A have a function of reinforcing the door frame 203, and both must be set to a certain height or higher in order to sufficiently reinforce the door frame 203. Is desirable. Further, since the second reinforcing rib 525A and the second reinforcing rib 525A are continuously and integrally provided, the effect of reinforcing the door frame 203 is further enhanced, but they are continuously and integrally provided. Therefore, each part is located in the rotation region of the variable member 601A.

On the other hand, the first reinforcing rib 524 is provided with the first regulating means 503A, and the first regulating means 503A has a function of applying a load to the rotating variable member 601A to regulate the rotation. And is in contact with a part of the variable member 601A.
As described above, both the first reinforcing rib 524 and the second reinforcing rib 525A have the same function of reinforcing the door frame 203, but the second reinforcing rib 525A has a variable member that is rotated. It is not necessary to add a function of applying a load to the 601A to regulate the rotation. Therefore, when the rotated variable member 601A comes into contact with the second reinforcing rib 525A, an unnecessary load is applied to the variable member 601A, which hinders the smooth rotation operation of the variable member 601A.

Therefore, as described above, the height M3 of the second reinforcing rib 525A from the base surface 203a is made smaller than the height M4 of the first regulating means 503A from the base surface 203a to reinforce the door frame 203. A sufficient effect can be ensured, and contact of the variable member 601A with the second reinforcing rib 525A can be prevented to ensure a smooth rotational operation of the variable member 601A.

(About M5 <M6)
In the fixed collaborative means 500, the height M5 of the second regulating means 504A from the base surface 203a is made smaller than the height M6 of the shaft portion 523 from the base surface 203a.

Since the second regulating means 504A has a function of restricting the rotation of the variable member 601A, the height of the second regulating means 504A is higher than that of the first regulating means 503A on which the variable member 601A can ride (M4 <M5). ). However, if the height of the second regulating means 504A is made too high, the worker may come into contact with the second regulating means 504A in the fixing work of the transparent plate unit 300 to the opening / closing body 200, resulting in deterioration of workability. There is a risk of damage to the second regulatory means 504A.

On the other hand, since the shaft portion 523 needs to be inserted into the supported portion 606 of the variable member 601A to secure a stable support state of the variable member 601A, it is desirable that the length in the axial direction is lengthened.

Therefore, as described above, the height M5 from the base surface 203a of the second regulating means 504A is made smaller than the height M6 from the base surface 203a of the shaft portion 523 so that M5 <M6. It is possible to improve and suppress damage to the second regulating means 504A, and to secure a stable support state of the variable member 601A.

(Examples where the heights of the left and right base surfaces are different)
Depending on the type of the gaming machine 1, the distances of the left and right base surfaces 203a from the front surface of the gaming board 103 may differ (see FIG. 90).
In this case, it is desirable to have the following configuration.
In the following description, one of the left and right base surfaces 203a will be referred to as a base surface 203A, and the other base surface 203a will be referred to as a base surface 203B.
Further, the shaft portion 523 provided on one of the left and right sides is referred to as a shaft portion 523A, the shaft portion 523 provided on the other side is referred to as a shaft portion 523B, the reinforcing portion 522 provided on one of the left and right sides is referred to as a reinforcing portion 522A, and the other is provided. The provided reinforcing portion 522 is referred to as a reinforcing portion 522B.

For example, the distance from the front surface of the game board 103 of the base surface 203B is longer than the distance from the front surface of the game board 103 of the base surface 203A.
The height of the reinforcing portion 522A from the base surface 203A is smaller than the height of the reinforcing portion 522B from the base surface 203B. The position of the rear surface of 522B is the same as the position of the rear surface of 522B in the front-rear direction.
Further, the size of the shaft portion 523A in the axial direction and the size of the tip surface 523b of the shaft portion 523B in the axial direction are the same.

In this way, the difference in height between the base surface 203A and the base surface 203B is adjusted by the heights of the reinforcing portion 522A and the reinforcing portion 522B, and by providing 523A and 523B having the same axial length, the variable common to both the left and right sides. The member 601A can be used.
By using the common variable member 601A, the force for pressing the transparent plate unit 300 against the base surface 203a is applied substantially evenly on the left and right sides, and the transparent plate unit 300 is stably fixed to the door frame 203 by the two variable members 601A. can do.

Further, since the positions of the variable members 601A in the front-rear direction are the same, the transparent plate unit 300 is not positioned in the left-right direction with respect to the door frame 203, and the shaft portion 523A and the shaft via the left and right variable members 601A. After preventing the portion 523B from falling or being damaged, it is possible to secure a stable fixed state of the transparent plate unit 300 with respect to the door frame 203.

In the above, an example is shown in which the heights of the shaft portion 523A and the shaft portion 523B are the same when the heights of the base surface 203A and the base surface 203B are different, but the heights of the base surface 203A and the base surface 203B are shown. It is desirable that the heights of the left and right first regulating means 503A and the heights of the left and right second regulating means 504A are the same when they are different.
In particular, when 523A and 523B having the same length in the axial direction are provided by making the heights of the left and right first regulating means 503A the same, and when a common variable member 601A is used on both the left and right sides, respectively. When the variable member 601A of the above is mounted on the first regulating means 503A, a substantially equal load can be applied to the variable member 601A.

[6-2-5. Variable member and shaft size, etc.]
Next, the sizes of the variable member 601A and the shaft portion 523 and the like will be described (see FIGS. 91 and 92).

As described above, the door frame 203 is provided with the shaft portion 523 protruding rearward, and the variable member 601A is rotatably supported by the shaft portion 523. The variable member 601A includes a supported portion 606 supported by the shaft portion 523, a fixed portion 607 continuous with the supported portion 606, a holding protrusion 603 protruding forward from the tip portion of the fixed portion 607, and a fixed portion. It has a handle portion 605 protruding rearward from 607, and a handle reinforcing portion 608 connecting the handle portion 605 and the supported portion 606.

The width between the inner peripheral surface 606b and the outer peripheral surface 606c of the supported portion 606 is L1, the diameter of the shaft portion 523 is L2, the width of the fixed portion 607 in the longitudinal direction is L3, and the diameter of the supported portion 606 is L4. The width of the handle portion 605 in the longitudinal direction is L5, the width of the fixed portion 607 in the rotation direction is L6, the width of the handle portion 605 in the rotation direction is L7, and the width of the fixed portion 607 in the thickness direction. L8, the axial width of the supported portion 606 is L9, the distance (height) of the handle portion 605 from the base surface 203a in the door frame 203 is L10, and the door frame of the crown surface 621a in the screw member 620. Let L11 be the distance (height) from the base surface 203a in 203.

"Specified dimensions"
The dimensions specified above are as follows.
L1: Width between the inner peripheral surface 606b and the outer peripheral surface 606c L2: Diameter of the shaft portion 523 L3: Width in the longitudinal direction of the fixed portion 607 L4: Diameter of the supported portion 606 L5: Width in the longitudinal direction of the handle portion 605 L6: Width in the rotation direction of the fixed portion 607 L7: Width in the rotation direction of the handle portion 605 L8: Width in the thickness direction of the fixed portion 607 L9: Width in the axial direction of the supported portion 606 L10: Handle portion 605 Distance from the base surface 203a L11: Distance from the base surface 203a of the crown surface 621a

"Solution"
In the gaming machine 1, work for ensuring a stable rotating state of the variable member 601A, ensuring a stable fixed state of the transparent plate unit 300 to the opening / closing body 200, and fixing the transparent plate unit 300 to the opening / closing body 200. It is necessary to improve the performance and reduce the size of the variable member 601A. Therefore, the dimensions L of each portion of the variable member 601A and the shaft portion 523 are set as follows.

"Size of L"
(Comparison of all L)
In the variable member 601A and the shaft portion 523, the width L1 between the inner peripheral surface 606b and the outer peripheral surface 606c is smaller than the diameter L2 of the shaft portion 523.
Further, in the variable member 601A, the width L3 in the longitudinal direction of the fixed portion 607 is made larger than the diameter L4 of the supported portion 606, and the width L3 in the longitudinal direction of the fixed portion 607 is larger than the width L5 in the longitudinal direction of the handle portion 605. It has been enlarged.
Further, in the variable member 601A, the width L7 in the rotation direction of the handle portion 605 is made smaller than the width L6 in the rotation direction of the fixed portion 607, and the width L5 in the longitudinal direction of the handle portion 605 is the handle portion 605. It is made larger than the width L7 in the rotation direction.
Furthermore, in the shaft portion 523, the width L9 in the axial direction of the supported portion 606 is larger than the width L8 in the thickness direction of the fixed portion 607.
In addition, in the variable member 601A and the screw member 620 screwed to the shaft portion 523, the distance L10 from the base surface 203a of the handle portion 605 is made larger than the distance L11 from the base surface 203a of the crown surface 621a. There is.
Therefore, the relationship is L1 <L2, L3> L4, L3> L5, L7 <L6, L5> L7, L9> L8, L10> L11.

(About L1 <L2)
In the relationship between the variable member 601A and the shaft portion 523, the width L1 between the inner peripheral surface 606b and the outer peripheral surface 606c is made smaller than the diameter L2 of the shaft portion 523.

When the variable member 601A rotates, a force is applied to the shaft portion 523 from the supported portion 606. At this time, depending on the magnitude of the force applied from the supported portion 606 to the shaft portion 523, the shaft portion 523 may fall and be damaged. Further, when the transparent plate unit 300 is pressed against the door frame 203 by the fixing portion 607, a large load may be applied from the supported portion 606 to the shaft portion 523.
Therefore, it is necessary to increase the strength of the shaft portion 523, and it is desirable that the diameter of the shaft portion 523 be increased.

On the other hand, if the diameter of the supported portion 606 in the variable member 601A is increased according to the diameter of the shaft portion 523, the variable member 601A becomes larger by that amount, the variable member 601A becomes larger, and the door frame of the variable member 601A becomes larger. The arrangement space for 203 becomes large.

Therefore, as described above, by making the width L1 between the inner peripheral surface 606b and the outer peripheral surface 606c smaller than the diameter L2 of the shaft portion 523 so that L1 <L2, sufficient strength of the shaft portion 523 is ensured. It is possible to improve the durability of the shaft portion 523 against the load generated when the variable member 601A is rotated or when the transparent plate unit 300 is pressed by the variable member 601A, and the variable member 601A can be downsized. It is possible to reduce the arrangement space of the variable member 601A with respect to the door frame 203.
Further, by improving the durability of the shaft portion 523, it is possible to secure a stable rotating state of the variable member 601A and to secure a stable fixed state of the transparent plate unit 300 with respect to the door frame 203.

The diameter L2 of the shaft portion 523 is set to be larger than the value obtained by doubling the width L1 between the inner peripheral surface 606b and the outer peripheral surface 606c. That is, 2L1 <L2.
As a result, the variable member 601A can be downsized while further improving the sufficient strength of the shaft portion 523.

(About L3> L4)
In the variable member 601A, the width L3 of the fixed portion 607 in the longitudinal direction is made larger than the diameter L4 of the supported portion 606.

The variable member 601A is rotated with respect to the door frame 203 with the shaft portion 523 as a fulcrum, and in a state where the transparent plate unit 300 is fixed to the opening / closing body 200, the holding portion 307 of the transparent plate unit 300 is pressed by the fixing portion 607 to the door frame. It has a function of pressing down on 203. Therefore, if the rotation region of the fixed portion 607 is small, the position of the pressed portion 307 with respect to the door frame 203 is limited accordingly, and the degree of freedom in arranging the pressed portion 307 with respect to the door frame 203 is reduced. Further, if the rotation region of the fixed portion 607 is small, it is necessary to reduce the size of the pressed portion 307, which reduces the degree of freedom in designing the transparent plate unit 300.

On the other hand, as described above, if the diameter of the supported portion 606 of the variable member 601A is increased, the variable member 601A becomes large and the space for arranging the variable member 601A with respect to the door frame 203 becomes large.

Therefore, as described above, by making the width L3 in the longitudinal direction of the fixed portion 607 larger than the diameter L4 of the supported portion 606 so that L3> L4, the rotation region of the fixed portion 607 becomes large and the pressed portion is pressed. It is possible to improve the degree of freedom of arrangement with respect to the door frame 203 of 307 and the degree of freedom of design of the transparent plate unit 300.
Further, by increasing the width L3 in the longitudinal direction of the fixing portion 607, the area for holding the pressed portion 307 by the fixing portion 607 becomes large, and a stable fixed state of the transparent plate unit 300 with respect to the opening / closing body 200 can be ensured. can.
Further, the variable member 601A can be downsized, and the space for arranging the variable member 601A with respect to the door frame 203 can be reduced.

(About L3> L5)
In the variable member 601A, the width L3 in the longitudinal direction of the fixed portion 607 is made larger than the width L5 in the longitudinal direction of the handle portion 605.

When the rotation region of the fixed portion 607 is small, as described above, the position of the pressed portion 307 with respect to the door frame 203 is limited, the degree of freedom in arranging the pressed portion 307 with respect to the door frame 203 is reduced, and the transparent plate unit 300 is used. The degree of freedom in designing is reduced.

On the other hand, the handle portion 605 is a portion to be gripped when the operator rotates the variable member 601A, and if the width in the longitudinal direction is large, the handle portion 605 of the fixed portion 607 when the operator rotates the variable member 601A. There is a possibility that the finger may protrude outward from one end in the longitudinal direction, and the grasped finger may come into contact with a portion other than the variable member 601A. If the gripped finger comes into contact with a portion other than the variable member 601A, it becomes difficult for the operator to smoothly rotate the variable member 601A, which causes a decrease in the work efficiency of the operator.

Therefore, as described above, the width L3 in the longitudinal direction of the fixed portion 607 is made larger than the width L5 in the longitudinal direction of the handle portion 605 so that L3> L5, so that the finger gripped during the rotation of the variable member 601A can be grasped. It is difficult for the fixed portion 607 to protrude outward from both ends in the rotation direction, it is difficult for the finger to come into contact with a portion other than the variable member 601A, and the width of the fixed portion 607 in the longitudinal direction becomes large.
Therefore, the operator can grip the handle portion 605 and smoothly rotate the variable member 601A, which can improve the work efficiency of the operator and the fixed portion 607 holds the pressed portion 307. The area to be pressed becomes large, and a stable fixed state of the transparent plate unit 300 with respect to the opening / closing body 200 can be ensured.

(About L7 <L6)
In the variable member 601A, the width L7 in the rotation direction of the handle portion 605 is smaller than the width L6 in the rotation direction of the fixed portion 607.

The handle portion 605 is a portion to be gripped when the operator rotates the variable member 601A, and if the width in the rotation direction is large, the rotation of the fixed portion 607 when the operator rotates the variable member 601A. There is a possibility that the fingers may protrude outward from both ends in the direction of movement, and the gripped fingers may come into contact with parts other than the variable member 601A. If the gripped finger comes into contact with a portion other than the variable member 601A, it becomes difficult for the operator to smoothly rotate the variable member 601A, which causes a decrease in the work efficiency of the operator.

On the other hand, the fixing portion 607 is a portion that presses the pressed portion 307 of the transparent plate unit 300 against the door frame 203 in a state where the transparent plate unit 300 is fixed to the opening / closing body 200. Therefore, the pressed portion 307 needs to have a certain size or more in order to secure a stable fixed state without rattling with respect to the door frame 203, and the width of the fixed portion 607 in the rotation direction is increased to increase the strength. It is desirable to be high.

Therefore, as described above, the width L7 in the rotation direction of the handle portion 605 is made smaller than the width L6 in the rotation direction of the fixed portion 607 so that L7 <L6, so that the variable member 601A is gripped during rotation. It is difficult for the finger to protrude outward from both ends in the rotation direction of the fixing portion 607, it is difficult for the finger to come into contact with a portion other than the variable member 601A, and the width of the fixing portion 607 in the rotation direction becomes large.
Therefore, the operator can grip the handle portion 605 and smoothly rotate the variable member 601A, which can improve the work efficiency of the operator and the pressed portion 307 is attached to the door frame 203. On the other hand, it is possible to secure a stable fixed state of the transparent plate unit 300 with respect to the opening / closing body 200 without rattling.

Further, since the width L7 in the rotation direction of the handle portion 605 is smaller than the width L6 in the rotation direction of the fixed portion 607, it is visually and sensuously recognized that the handle portion 605 is a portion to be gripped by a finger. It becomes easy to do, and the work efficiency of the worker can be improved.

(About L5> L7)
In the variable member 601A, the width L5 in the longitudinal direction of the handle portion 605 is made larger than the width L7 in the rotation direction of the handle portion 605.

The handle portion 605 is a portion to be gripped when the operator rotates the variable member 601A. If the width in the longitudinal direction is too small, the area gripped by the finger of the handle portion 605 becomes small and the finger is gripped in the longitudinal direction. May protrude from the handle portion 605. Therefore, it is difficult to grip the handle portion 605, and it becomes difficult for the operator to smoothly rotate the variable member 601A, which may reduce the work efficiency of the operator.

On the other hand, as described above, if the width of the handle portion 605 in the rotation direction is large, there is a possibility that the fingers may protrude from both ends of the fixed portion 607 in the rotation direction when the operator rotates the variable member 601A. This causes the gripped finger to come into contact with a portion other than the variable member 601A, which reduces the work efficiency of the operator.

Therefore, as described above, the width L5 in the longitudinal direction of the handle portion 605 is made larger than the width in the rotation direction of the handle portion 605 so that L5> L7, so that the finger can be moved in the longitudinal direction of the handle portion 605. It is difficult for the finger gripped when the variable member 601A is rotated to protrude from both ends of the fixed portion 607 in the rotation direction.
Therefore, it becomes possible for the operator to grip the handle portion 605 and smoothly rotate the variable member 601A, and it is difficult for the finger to come into contact with other parts other than the variable member 601A, which improves the work efficiency of the operator. Can be planned.
Further, since the width L5 in the rotation direction of the handle portion 605 is small, it becomes easy to visually and sensuously recognize that the handle portion 605 is a portion to be gripped by a finger, and the work efficiency of the operator is improved. Can be planned.

(About L9> L8)
In the relationship between the variable member 601A and the shaft portion 523, the width L9 in the axial direction of the supported portion 606 is larger than the width L8 in the thickness direction of the fixed portion 607.

The variable member 601A is rotated around the shaft portion 523 as a fulcrum, but when it is rotated in a state of being tilted with respect to the shaft portion 523, the transparent plate unit 300 is fixed to the opening / closing body 200 by the fixing portion 607. Since the pressed state of the transparent plate unit 300 against the pressed portion 307 becomes unstable, it is necessary to smoothly rotate the transparent plate unit 300 in a direction orthogonal to the axial direction without tilting. Further, when the variable member 601A is tilted with respect to the shaft portion 523, a large frictional force is locally generated between the supported portion 606 and the shaft portion 523, resulting in a large load on the shaft portion 523 and the supported portion 606. There is a possibility that the shaft portion 523 may be worn out.

On the other hand, the handle portion 605 is projected rearward from the fixed portion 607, and the handle portion 605 is a portion to be gripped by hand, and a certain amount of protrusion to the rear is required to ensure a good gripping state. is necessary. However, as the thickness of the fixing portion 607 is increased, the rear end of the handle portion 605 is positioned rearward, so that the handle portion 605 easily comes into contact with members other than the variable member 601A and the variable member 601A becomes larger. It ends up.

Therefore, as described above, the width L9 in the axial direction of the supported portion 606 is made larger than the width L8 in the thickness direction of the fixed portion 607 so that L9> L8, so that the width L9 in the axial direction of the supported portion 606 can be increased. It becomes long and the inclination of the variable member 601A with respect to the shaft portion 523 is suppressed, and the rear end of the handle portion 605 is not positioned more rearward than necessary.
Therefore, a stable fixed state of the transparent plate unit 300 with respect to the opening / closing body 200 can be ensured, the variable member 601A can be smoothly rotated, and the handle portion 605 can be attached to a member other than the variable member 601A. By avoiding contact, it is possible to improve the reliability of the operation of the variable member 601A and to reduce the size of the variable member 601A.

(About L10> L11)
In the variable member 601A and the screw member 620 screwed to the shaft portion 523, the distance L10 of the handle portion 605 from the base surface 203a is larger than the distance L11 of the crown surface 621a from the base surface 203a.

The handle portion 605 is a portion to be gripped when the operator rotates the variable member 601A, and is sufficient rearward from the fixed portion 607 to ensure good grip when gripped with a finger. The amount of protrusion is required.

On the other hand, the screw member 620 has a function of preventing the variable member 601A from falling off from the shaft portion 523, and the head portion 621 is made to protrude rearward from the shaft portion 523, but the transparent plate unit 300 When the fixing work to the opening / closing body 200 is performed, if the amount of protrusion of the head 621 from the shaft portion 523 to the rear is large, the worker's hand may come into contact with the head 621 and the workability in the fixing work may be deteriorated. be. Further, even when the operator grips the handle portion 605 and rotates the variable member 601A, if the amount of protrusion of the head 621 from the shaft portion 523 to the rear is large, the operator's hand is the head 621. May come into contact with.

Therefore, as described above, the distance L10 from the base surface 203a of the handle portion 605 is made larger than the distance L11 from the base surface 203a of the crown surface 621a so that L10> L11, so that the fixed portion of the handle portion 605 is fixed. A sufficient amount of rearward protrusion from 607 is ensured, and the amount of rearward protrusion of the head 621 from the shaft portion 523 is reduced.
Therefore, it is possible to secure good grip of the handle portion 605 when the operator rotates the variable member 601A and improve the workability, and it is difficult for the operator's hand to come into contact with the screw member 620. It is possible to improve workability.

[6-2-6. Distance of each part such as opening and closing body]
Next, each distance from the base surface 203a of each part in a state where the transparent plate unit 300 is fixed to the door frame 203 by the fixing means 600 will be described (see FIG. 93). The base surface 203a is an end surface of the door frame 203 on the game board 103 side.

As described above, the fixed collaborative means 500 has a positioning protrusion 507 protruding rearward from the base surface 203a, a first reinforcing rib 524, a second reinforcing rib 525A, and a shaft portion 523, respectively. The reinforcing rib 525A is provided with a first regulating means 503A and a second regulating means 504A.
Further, the fixing means 600 has a variable member 601A and a screw member 620, the shaft portion 523 is inserted into the insertion hole 606a of the supported portion 606 in the variable member 601A, and the screw member 620 is formed in the shaft portion 523A. By being screwed into the screw hole 523a, the variable member 601A is rotatably supported by the shaft portion 523A between the base surface 203a and the flange portion 623 of the screw member 620. The holding protrusion 603 of the variable member 601A is inserted (locked) into the locking portion 309 formed in the pressed portion 307 of the transparent plate unit 300, so that the transparent plate unit 300 is attached to the door frame 203 by the variable member 601A. It is fixed.

The height (distance) of the end surface 207e on the game board 103 side from the base surface 203a in the frame portion 207 (side portions 207a, 207b, lower portion 207c, upper portion 207d) of the door frame 203 is defined as the height H1 and fixed in the variable member 601A. The height (distance) of the end surface 607a on the game board 103 side of the portion 607 from the base surface 203a is defined as the height H2, and the height (distance) of the crown surface 621a of the screw member 620 from the base surface 203a is defined as the height H3. The height (distance) of the end surface 605a on the game board 103 side of the handle portion 605 from the base surface 203a is set to the height H4, and the rear end of the holding member 302 is fixed to the door frame 203 in a state where the transparent plate unit 300 is fixed to the door frame 203. The height (distance) of the 302b from the base surface 203a is defined as the height H5.

"Specified dimensions"
The dimensions specified above are as follows.
H1: Height of the end surface 207e of the frame portion 207 from the base surface 203a H2: Height of the end surface 607a of the fixing portion 607 from the base surface 203a H3: Height of the crown surface 621a of the screw member 620 from the base surface 203a H4 : Height of the end surface 605a of the handle portion 605 from the base surface 203a H5: Height of the rear end 302b of the holding member 302 from the base surface 203a

"Solution"
In the gaming machine 1, workability is ensured for smooth rotation of the variable member 601A, fixing work of the transparent plate unit 300 to the opening / closing body 200, and checking the fixed state of the transparent plate unit 300 to the opening / closing body 200. It is necessary to improve the above. Therefore, the dimensions H of each part in the state where the transparent plate unit 300 is fixed to the door frame 203 by the fixing means 600 are set as follows.

"Height of H"
(Comparison of all H)
The height H1 of the end surface 207e on the game board 103 side of the frame portion 207 of the door frame 203 from the base surface 203a is made smaller than the height H2 of the end surface 607a of the fixed portion 607 from the base surface 203a, and the end surface of the fixed portion 607. The height H2 of the 607a from the base surface 203a is made smaller than the height H3 of the crown surface 621a of the screw member 620 from the base surface 203a. Further, the height H3 of the top surface 621a of the screw member 620 from the base surface 203a is made smaller than the height H4 of the end surface 605a of the handle portion 605 from the base surface 203a, and the height H4 of the end surface 605a of the handle portion 605 is made smaller than the height H4. The height H4 from 203a is made smaller than the height H5 from the base surface 203a of the rear end 302b of the holding member 302.
Therefore, the relationship is H1 <H2 <H3 <H4 <H5.

(About H4 <H5)
The height H4 of the end surface 605a of the handle portion 605 from the base surface 203a is made smaller than the height H5 of the front end 302a of the holding member 302 from the base surface 203a.

When the height of the end surface 605a from the base surface 203a is larger than the height of the front end 302a from the base surface 203a, the handle portion 605 is in a state of protruding from the holding member 302 toward the game board 103. In this case, when the worker performs the work with the opening / closing body 200 open to the support 100, the worker's hand or the like tends to come into contact with the handle portion 605, and the variable member 601A unintentionally rotates. It may move. As a result, the pressure of the transparent plate unit 300 against the door frame 203 by the variable member 601A is released, and the transparent plate unit 300 may fall off from the door frame 203.

Therefore, the height of the end surface 605a of the handle portion 605 from the base surface 203a is made smaller than the height of the front end 302a of the holding member 302 from the base surface 203a, and H4 <H5, so that the operator's hand or the like can be used. Is less likely to come into contact with the handle portion 605.
Therefore, by suppressing the unintended rotation of the variable member 601A and preventing the transparent plate unit 300 from falling off from the door frame 203 due to the release of the pressing against the door frame 203 of the transparent plate unit 300, the game board 103 The game area 103a can be protected, and a stable fixed state of the transparent plate unit 300 with respect to the door frame 203 can be ensured.

(About H3 <H4)
The height H3 of the crown surface 621a of the screw member 620 from the base surface 203a is made smaller than the height H4 of the end surface 605a of the handle portion 605 from the base surface 203a.

Since the variable member 601A rides on the first regulating means 503A and the pressed portion 307, it is necessary to apply a certain amount of rotational power or more.
Therefore, in order for the operator to easily rotate the variable member 601A, it is necessary to provide a handle portion 605 that is easy to grip and can obtain high turning power.
Further, when the variable member 601A is supported on the shaft portion 523 by the screw member 620, if the screw member 620 is rotated without pressing the variable member 601A with a finger or the like, the variable member 601A also rotates together with the screw member 620. It may end up. In this case, the rotated variable member 601A unintentionally contacts the second regulating means 504A or the first regulating means 503A, and the second regulating means 504A, the first regulating means 503A, or the variable member 601A is deformed. It is desired that a handle portion 605 that is easy to grip even when screwed is provided because it may be scratched.

Therefore, the height of the top surface 621a of the screw member 620 from the base surface 203a is made smaller than the height of the end surface 605a of the handle portion 605 from the base surface 203a, and H3 <H4. The amount of protrusion from the fixed portion 607 of the handle portion 607 can be increased to make it easier for the operator to grip the handle portion 605.

This makes it easier to hold the variable member 601A with a finger or the like when the variable member 601A is supported on the shaft portion 523 by the screw member 620, and the variable member 601A rotates together with the screw member 620. Unintended contact with the means 504A or the first regulating means 503A can be prevented. Therefore, the variable member 601A and the second regulating means 504A and the first regulating means 503A do not come into contact with each other, and the variable member 601A, the second regulating means 504A, and the first regulating means 503A are deformed or damaged. Can be prevented from doing so.
Further, in the fixing work of the transparent plate unit 300 to the door frame 203, even when the operator manually performs the work of the variable member 601A in a state where the position of the handle portion 605 cannot be seen from the front side of the front door 201. Since the amount of protrusion of the handle portion 605 from the fixing portion 607 is large, the handle portion 605 can be easily recognized by tactile sensation, so that workability in fixing the transparent plate unit 300 to the door frame 203 is improved. Can be planned.

(About H1 <H4)
The height H1 of the end surface 207e of the frame portion 207 of the door frame 203 from the base surface 203a is made smaller than the height H4 of the end surface 605a of the handle portion 605 from the base surface 203a.

From the viewpoint of preventing so-called goto behavior and ensuring the safety of the gaming machine 1, it is necessary to always ensure an appropriate fixing state of the transparent plate unit 300 to the door frame 203. Therefore, in the unlikely event that the pressing of the transparent plate unit 300 by the variable member 601A is released, it is desirable to be able to easily recognize that the transparent plate unit 300 is in this released state.

Therefore, the height H4 of the end surface 605a of the handle portion 605 from the base surface 203a is made higher than the height H1 of the end surface 207e of the end surface 207e of the frame portion 207 of the door frame 203 from the base surface 203a so that H1 <H4. When the operator sees the game machine 1 from the right side surface of the opening / closing body 200 in a state where the opening / closing body 200 is open with respect to the support 100, the variable member fixing the transparent plate unit 300 to the door frame 203. The 601A can be easily visually recognized.

As a result, even when the operator opens the opening / closing body 200 slightly with respect to the support 100, the transparent plate unit 300 is securely fixed to the door frame 203 by the variable member 601A depending on the state of the handle portion 605. You can check if it is.
Therefore, it is possible to improve the work efficiency when confirming whether or not the transparent plate unit 300 is securely fixed to the door frame 203 by the variable member 601A.
Further, since the variable member 601A can be visually recognized only by looking at the gaming machine 1 from the right side, it is possible to confirm whether the transparent plate unit 300 is securely fixed to the door frame 203 every time various operations are performed. Become. Thereby, the safety of the gaming machine 1 can be improved.

(About H1 <H5)
The height H1 of the end surface 207e of the frame portion 207 of the door frame 203 from the base surface 203a is made smaller than the height H5 of the front end 302a of the holding member 302 from the base surface 203a.

As a result, when the operator sees the game machine 1 from the right side surface of the opening / closing body 200, the state of the transparent plate unit 300 fixed to the door frame 203 by the variable member 601A can be easily visually recognized. When the transparent plate unit 300 is located at a position different from the position fixed to the door frame 203 by the variable member 601A, the pressing protrusion 603 of the variable member 601A is disengaged from the locking portion 309 of the pressed portion 307. There is a possibility that the fixed state of the transparent plate unit 300 with respect to the door frame 203 has been released.
The operator can confirm such a defect by opening the opening / closing body 200 slightly with respect to the support body 100. Therefore, it is possible to improve the work efficiency when confirming whether or not the transparent plate unit 300 is securely fixed to the door frame 203, and it is possible to improve the safety of the gaming machine 1.

[6-2-7. About fixing operation of fixed body]
The procedure for fixing the transparent plate unit 300 to the door frame 203 will be described below (see FIGS. 94 to 101). 97, 99, and 101 are cross-sectional views taken along the line (96)-(96) shown in FIG. 7. Further, FIG. 100 is a cross-sectional view taken along the line (99)-(99) shown in FIG. 34.

(Fixed flow)
In fixing the transparent plate unit 300 to the door frame 203, the operator tilts the transparent plate unit 300 backward (see FIGS. 94, 95, 96, etc.) and engages with the transparent plate unit 300. The abutment portion 311 is inserted into the engaging hole 411 formed in the engaging portion 410 of the transparent plate mounting means 400, and the transparent plate unit 300 is mounted on the transparent plate mounting means 400 (FIGS. 97, 98, etc.). reference).

By inserting the engaging protrusion 311 of the transparent plate unit 300 into the engaging hole 411 formed in the engaging portion 410 of the transparent plate mounting means 400 and engaging the transparent plate unit 300, the transparent plate unit 300 is engaged with the transparent plate mounting means. Positioned relative to 400. At this time, the transparent plate unit 300 is supported by the transparent plate mounting means 400 by mounting the lower portion 303c of the holding frame portion 303 on the mounting portion 403 of the mounting sheet metal 401 (FIGS. 33, 34, FIG. See 100 etc.).

After the transparent plate unit 300 is mounted on the transparent plate mounting means 400, the transparent plate unit 300 is moved toward the door frame 203 with the engaging protrusion 311 as a fulcrum, and the transparent plate unit 300 is brought into contact with the door frame 203. (See Fig. 99, etc.).
At this time, the arc portion 303f of the holding frame portion 303 is in contact with the hypotenuse 420c facing the opening 219 side of the first receiving protrusion 420. Further, the lower surface portion 313a of the projecting portion 313 protruding outward from the substantially latter half of the arc portion 303f is in contact with or close to the receiving piece portion 421 protruding rearward from the lower end portion of the first receiving protrusion 420. (See FIGS. 33, 34, 100, etc.).
As a result, the right side portion of the transparent plate unit 300 is supported by the first receiving protrusion 420, and the transparent plate unit 300 can be stably mounted on the transparent plate mounting means 400.

Further, at this time, the curved portion 303g of the holding frame portion 303 is in contact with or close to the hypotenuse 430c facing the opening 219 side of the second receiving portion 430. As a result, the left side portion of the transparent plate unit 300 is supported, and the transparent plate unit 300 can be stably mounted on the transparent plate mounting means 400.

When the transparent plate unit 300 comes into contact with the door frame 203, the positioning protrusion 507 of the door frame 203 is inserted into the positioning hole 308 formed in the pressed member 307 of the transparent plate unit 300 (see FIG. 99). ..
By inserting the pressed portion 507 into the positioning hole 308, the transparent plate unit 300 is positioned on the door frame 203.

In a state where the transparent plate unit 300 is positioned on the door frame 203, the operator grips the handle portion 605 and operates the variable member 601A to rotate the transparent plate unit 300 (see FIG. 101). When the variable member 601A is rotated, the pressing protrusion 603 is inserted (locked) into the locking portion 309 formed in the pressed portion 307 of the transparent plate unit 300, and the pressed portion 307 is doord by the variable member 601A. It is pressed against the frame 203, whereby the transparent plate unit 300 is fixed to the door frame 203 by the variable member 601A.
As described above, the fixing work for fixing the transparent plate unit 300 to the door frame 203 is completed.

(About the material of each member)
In a state where the transparent plate unit 300 is mounted on the mounting portion 403 of the transparent plate mounting means 400, a region of the lower portion 303c of the holding frame portion 303 of the transparent plate unit 300 in which the engaging protrusion 311 is not formed. Is in contact with a mounting sheet metal 401 made of metal. On the other hand, the engaging protrusion 311 provided in the lower portion 303c is inserted into the engaging hole 411 of the engaging portion 410 made of resin. That is, the engaging protrusion 311 made of resin that positions the transparent plate unit 300 is in contact with the engaging portion 410 made of resin.

This is because the transparent plate unit 300 is often attached to and detached from the door frame 203, and if the engaging protrusion 311 made of resin is in contact with the metal engaging portion 410, the resin is softer than metal. This is because there is a risk of causing wear of the engagement protrusion 311 made of the product. Due to such wear, the engaging protrusion 311 is not properly engaged with the engaging portion 410, the positioning accuracy of the transparent plate unit 300 is lowered, the transparent plate unit 300 is disengaged from the door frame 203, or the door frame 203 is engaged. On the other hand, there is a risk of misalignment.
Further, if the position of the transparent plate unit 300 is displaced with respect to the door frame 203, a gap may be formed between the window hole 202 of the front door 201 or the opening 219 of the door frame 203 and the holding frame portion 303. When such a gap is generated, dust may invade through the gap, or a so-called goto act of invading the inside of the gaming machine 1 and attempting fraud may be performed.

Therefore, in the gaming machine 1, the engaging portion 410 to which the resin engaging protrusion 311 provided on the transparent plate unit 300 is in contact is formed of a resin made of the same material. As a result, the wear of the engaging protrusion 311 can be reduced, and the transparent plate unit 300 can be stably held for a long period of time. Can be prevented.
Further, the static electricity generated in the transparent plate unit 300 is transferred to the mounting sheet metal 401 by contacting the region of the lower portion 303c of the holding frame portion 303 where the engaging protrusion 311 is not provided with the mounting sheet metal 401 made of metal. You can escape. As a result, it is possible to prevent a failure of the board or the like mounted on the gaming machine 1.

Further, the first receiving protrusion 420 is also formed of resin. As a result, it is possible to reduce the wear of the arc portion 303f of the holding frame portion 303 formed of the resin and the lower surface portion 313a of the protruding portion 313.
Further, the second receiving protrusion 430 is also formed of resin. Therefore, it is possible to reduce the wear of the curved portion 303g of the holding frame portion 303 formed of the resin.

In a state where the transparent plate unit 300 is fixed to the door frame 203, the side portion 303a of the transparent plate unit 300 is in contact with the inner side wall 205c of the first reinforcing member 205 made of metal (see FIG. 98). When the side portion 303a comes into contact with the first reinforcing member 205, the static electricity generated in the transparent plate unit 300 can be released to the first reinforcing member 205.
Further, the side portion 303b of the transparent plate unit 300 is in contact with the inner side wall 206c of the second reinforcing member 206 made of metal. By contacting the side portion 303b with the second reinforcing member 206, the static electricity generated by the transparent plate unit 300 can be released to the second reinforcing member 206 as well.
As a result, it is possible to prevent a failure of the substrate or the like mounted on the gaming machine 1 due to static electricity.
Further, by bringing the side portions 303a and 303b of the transparent plate unit 300 into contact with the first reinforcing member 205 and the second reinforcing member 206, no gap is generated between the door frame 203 and the transparent plate unit 300. It is possible to prevent the wire or the like for the goto action from entering the inside of the gaming machine 1 from between the door frame 203 and the transparent plate unit 300. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the goto behavior and provide the player with a fair game.

Although the example in which the transparent plate unit 300 is in contact with the first reinforcing member 205 and the second reinforcing member 206 has been described here, the transparent plate unit 300 is in contact with the first reinforcing member 205 and the second reinforcing member 206. Even if it is not in contact with the static electricity, static electricity can be released as follows.
For example, the transparent plate unit 300 is in contact with the door frame 203, and the first reinforcing member 205 (second reinforcing member 206) is in contact with the door frame 203, whereby the transparent plate unit 300 and the first reinforcing member 205 (first reinforcing member 205) are in contact with each other. The reinforcing member 206) of 2 is conducted to the transparent plate unit 300 via the door frame 203. Therefore, the static electricity generated in the transparent plate unit 300 can be released from the door frame 203 to the first reinforcing member 205 (second reinforcing member 206).

[6-2-8. Arrangement of regulatory measures]
Next, an aspect of arrangement of each regulating means in the fixing means 600 will be described with reference to FIGS. 102 to 104. 102 is a diagram showing a first arrangement example of the regulating means, FIG. 103 is a diagram showing a second arrangement example of the regulating means, and FIG. 104 is a diagram showing a third arrangement example of the regulating means. ..
In the following description, in a state where the transparent plate unit 300 is held by the door frame 203, the side portion 207a of the door frame 203 in the pressed portion 307 of the transparent plate unit 300 (the side portion 207b for the left pressed portion 307). The surface facing the surface is the side surface 307a. Further, the surface of the pressed portion 307 of the transparent plate unit 300 facing the upper portion 207d of the door frame 203 is referred to as a side surface 307b.
Further, the R1 direction shown below is the clockwise rotation direction of the variable member 601A seen from the rear, and the R2 direction is the counterclockwise rotation direction of the variable member 601A seen from the rear. Further, the variable member 601A shown by the alternate long and short dash line in each figure indicates the rotation position of the variable member 601A, respectively.

(First arrangement example)
First, the first arrangement example will be described with reference to FIG. 102.
In the first arrangement example, the fixing means 600 is provided with the first reinforcing rib 524 at one place. The first reinforcing rib 524 has a second regulating means 504A and a first regulating means 503A, and when the center line in the left-right direction of the door frame 203 is set as the reference line K, the rotation fulcrum M of the variable member 601A Is located between the reference line K and the second regulatory means 504A.

When the holding protrusion 603 of the variable member 601A defines the position between the second regulating means 504A and the first regulating means 503A as the starting point position SP, the starting point position SP is the position between the side portion 207a and the side surface 307a. .. The variable member 601A is restricted from rotating in the R1 direction by the second regulating means 504A at the starting point position SP.

When the variable member 601A rotates in the R2 direction from the state of being in contact with the second regulating means 504A toward the side surface 307a of the pressed portion 307, the variable member 601A of the second regulating means 504A, the first regulating means 503A, and the side surface 307a. Contact in order. That is, a second regulating means 504A and a first regulating means 503A are provided between the side portion 207a and the side surface 307a of the frame portion 207.

If the variable member 601A is endlessly rotatable in the R1 direction, the fixed portion 607 may come into contact with the side portion 207a of the door frame 203 when opening and closing the front door 201. In this case, the variable member 601A may be damaged because the fixed portion 607 is sandwiched between the front door 201 (side portion 207a) and the front frame 102.
Therefore, by locating the fixed portion 607, the second regulating means 504A, and the side portion 207a in order in the R1 direction, the fixed portion 607 is not sandwiched between the front door 201 (side portion 207a) and the front frame 102. , It is possible to prevent the fixing portion 607 from being damaged.

In addition, for example, the rotation of the variable member 601A in the R1 direction may be restricted by abutting the fixing portion 607 on the inner side wall 205c of the first reinforcing member 205. That is, the inner side wall 205c of the first reinforcing member 205 can be made to function as the second regulating means 504A.
However, when the first reinforcing member 205 is made of metal, the fixing portion 607 of the variable member 601A is made of resin, so that when the variable member 601A comes into contact with the first reinforcing member 205, the variable member The 601A may be worn or damaged.
Therefore, in the R1 direction, a second resin regulating means 504A made of resin is provided in front of the inner side wall 205c of the first reinforcing member 205, and the variable member 601A is attached to the inner side wall 205c of the first reinforcing member 205. It is desirable to regulate the rotation of the variable member 601A by the second regulating means 504A before contacting. The first reinforcing member 205 can also be formed of resin.

Further, depending on the transparent plate unit 300, the variable member 601A can be mounted on the side surface 307a of the pressed portion 307, and the side surface 307b which is the upper surface of the pressed portion 307 is used as a regulating means for restricting the rotation of the variable member 601A. The variable member 601A may be configured so as not to be able to ride on the side surface 307b from the side surface 307b.
When the transparent plate unit 300 having such a configuration is used, the variable member 601A is not held in a position where it can ride on the pressed portion 307 in the state before the transparent plate unit 300 is mounted on the door frame 203. Then, the transparent plate unit 300 cannot be attached to the door frame 203.

Therefore, in the case of such a configuration, for example, when the fixing portion 607 is positioned above the side surface 307b, the transparent plate unit 300 is once removed from the door frame 203, and the variable member 601A is rotated in the R1 direction. It is necessary to position the fixing portion 607 on the side of the side surface 307a and then bring the transparent plate unit 300 into contact with the door frame 203 again, which may impair the work efficiency of the operator.
Further, when the second regulating means 504A and the first regulating means 503A for holding the variable member 601A are not provided at the starting point position SP, when the transparent plate unit 300 is brought into contact with the door frame 203 again. Depending on the position of the variable member 601A, it is inconvenient to hold the variable member 601A in a state where it is located on the side of the side surface 307a by the hand of an operator or the like.

Therefore, as described above, the variable member 601A can be held by the second regulating means 504A and the first regulating means 503A at the starting point position SP, so that the variable member when the transparent plate unit 300 is mounted on the door frame 203 can be held. Interference between the 601A and the transparent plate unit 300 is avoided. Therefore, it is not necessary to re-contact the transparent plate unit 300 with the door frame 203 as described above, and it is possible to improve the work efficiency of the operator.

In the above, an example in which the first regulating means 503A and the second regulating means 504A are provided at the starting point position SP has been described, but at the starting point position SP, either the first regulating means 503A or the second regulating means 504A may be used. It suffices if the variable member 601A can be held, and for example, only the first regulating means 503A may be provided at the starting point position SP.
In this case, the variable member 601A comes into contact with the first regulating means 503A, then rides on the first regulating means 503A and is held between the first regulating means 503A and the first reinforcing member 205. As a result, when the transparent plate unit 300 is attached to the door frame 203, the variable member 601A is not caught in the portion where the transparent plate unit 300 and the door frame 203 are in contact with each other, and the transparent plate unit 300 can be smoothly attached to the door frame 203. Can be done.
Further, for example, even if the holding recess is formed in the first regulating means 503A and the holding protrusion 603 of the variable member 601A is inserted into the holding recess, the variable member 601A is held by the first regulating means 503A. good.

Further, for example, only the second regulating means 504A may be provided at the starting point position SP. Thereby, the manufacturing cost for forming the first regulatory means 503A can be reduced.
Furthermore, although the case where one first regulating means 503A is provided has been described above, even if a plurality of first regulating means 503A are provided on the movement locus of the holding protrusion 603 of the variable member 601A. good. As a result, the momentum of rotation of the variable member 601A is reduced each time it comes into contact with the first regulating means 503A, and the rotation of the variable member 601A is further reduced before the variable member 601A comes into contact with the second regulating means 504A. The momentum can be reduced.
Moreover, a plurality of first regulating means 503A may be provided, and the holding protrusion 603 of the variable member 601A may be held between one first regulating means 503A and the other first regulating means 503A.

(Second arrangement example)
Next, a second arrangement example will be described with reference to FIG. 103.
In the second arrangement example, when the position determined by the weight of the variable member 601A is the initial position F, the variable member 601A has the side surface 307a, the locking portion 309, and the side surface when the variable member 601A rotates from the initial position F in the R2 direction. 307b, the first regulating means 503A, and the second regulating means 504A are in contact with each other in this order. That is, the second regulating means 504A and the first regulating means 503A are located between the upper portion 207d and the side surface 307b. Further, the second regulating means 504A and the first regulating means 503A are located below the protective cover 220.
If the position where the second regulating means 504A and the first regulating means 503A are provided with respect to the outer peripheral portion of the door frame 203 and the transparent plate unit 300 is defined as the end point position EP, the end point position EP is the upper portion 207d and the side surface 307b. The position between.

In the second arrangement example, the initial position F is not provided with the regulating means corresponding to the first regulating means 503A or the second regulating means 504A.
This is because the variable member 601A is held in a state of being separated from the transparent plate unit 300 at the initial position F by its own weight, and the variable member 601A does not come into contact with the transparent plate unit 300 when the transparent plate unit 300 is attached to the door frame 203. be.
As described above, by not providing the regulating means at the initial position F, the manufacturing cost of the door frame 203 can be reduced.

Further, in the second arrangement example, since the second regulating means 504A and the first regulating means 503A are provided at the end point position EP, the variable member 601A is below the protective cover 220 provided below the upper portion 207d. The rotation of the sword in the R2 direction is regulated by the second regulating means 504A.
When the second regulating means 504A is not provided at the end point position EP, the variable member 601A can rotate in the R2 direction without limitation, and the fixing portion 607 comes into contact with the protective cover 220 to allow the variable member to rotate. The 601A or the protective cover 220 may be damaged.

Further, the variable member 601A is pressed against the door frame 203 by the variable member 601A by engaging the pressing protrusion 603 with the locking portion 309.
At this time, if the side surface 307b is not provided with a means for restricting the rotation of the variable member 601A, when a force in the R2 direction is applied to the variable member 601A, the pressing protrusion 603 and the locking portion 309 are locked. May be released and the variable member 601A may rotate in the R2 direction.
Therefore, even if the variable member 601A is also held by the transparent plate unit 300, the fixed portion 607 may collide with the protective cover 220 and the fixed portion 607 or the protective cover 220 may be damaged. Then, when the fixing portion 607 collides with the protective cover 220 in the R2 direction, the variable member 601A or the protective cover 220 may be damaged.

Therefore, a second regulating means 504A is provided at the end point position EP, and the fixing portion 607 is configured by restricting the rotation of the variable member 601A in the R2 direction by the second regulating means 504A provided at the end point position EP. It is possible to prevent the fixing portion 607 and the protective cover 220 from being damaged without coming into contact with the protective cover 220.

Further, since the momentum of rotation of the variable member 601A is reduced before the variable member 601A comes into contact with the second regulating means 504A by the first regulating means 503A when the variable member 601A is rotated, the second regulating means 504A and the variable member 601A are reduced. Can be prevented from being damaged.

In the above, an example in which the first regulating means 503A and the second regulating means 504A are provided at the end point position EP has been described, but at the end point position EP, either the first regulating means 503A or the second regulating means 504A may be used. It suffices if the variable member 601A can be held, and for example, only the first regulating means 503A may be provided at the starting point position SP.
In this case, the variable member 601A comes into contact with the first regulating means 503A, then rides on the first regulating means 503A and is held on the first regulating means 503A by its own weight.
As a result, when the transparent plate unit 300 is attached to the door frame 203, the variable member 601A is not caught in the portion where the transparent plate unit 300 and the door frame 203 are in contact with each other, and the transparent plate unit 300 can be smoothly attached to the door frame 203. Can be done.
Further, the variable member 601A will be located between the first regulating means 503A and the protective cover 220. At this time, the protective cover 220 may function as the second regulating means 504A. As a result, when the variable member 601A rotates in the R2 direction, the variable member 601A comes into contact with the lower surface of the protective cover 220, so that excessive rotation of the variable member 601A in the R2 direction can be restricted.
The protective cover 220 may be made of resin. This makes it possible to prevent the variable member 601A from being damaged even when the variable member 601A is in contact with the protective cover 220.

Further, although the case where one first regulating means 503A is provided has been described above, a plurality of first regulating means 503A may be provided on the movement locus of the holding protrusion 603 of the variable member 601A. .. As a result, the momentum of rotation of the variable member 601A is reduced each time it comes into contact with the first regulating means 503A, and the rotation of the variable member 601A is further reduced before the variable member 601A comes into contact with the second regulating means 504A. The momentum can be reduced.

(Third arrangement example)
Next, a third arrangement example will be described with reference to FIG. 104.
In the third arrangement example, the second regulating means 504A and the first regulating means 503A are provided at the same starting point position SP as the position described in the first arrangement example, and are the same as the positions described in the second arrangement example. A third regulating means 505A and a fourth regulating means 506A are provided at the end point position EP.
That is, the variable member 601A has the second regulating means 504A, the first regulating means 503A, the side surface 307a, the locking portion 309, the side surface 307b, the third regulating means 505A, and the fourth regulating means 506A in order toward the R2 direction. In contact with.
Therefore, the second regulating means 504A and the first regulating means 503A are provided between the side portion 207a and the side surface 307a, and the fourth regulating means 506A and the third regulating means 506A and the third regulating means 506A are provided between the upper portion 207d and the side surface 307b. Means 505A are provided.

Since the first regulating means 503A and the second regulating means 504A are provided in both the start point position SP and the end point position EP, the start point position SP is in a state where the transparent plate unit 300 is not attached to the door frame 203. The operator can select which of the end point position EP and the end point position EP to hold the variable member 601A according to the type of work and the situation.

For example, when the operator repairs each part provided on the upper part of the opening / closing body 200 such as the speaker 225, if the variable member 601A is held at the end point position EP, the end point position EP is close to the speaker 225. There is a possibility that the handle portion 605 may be touched during the work and the holding state of the variable member 601A may be released. Further, if the variable member 601A is entangled with a harness or the like entwined with the speaker 225, there is a possibility of suffering an unexpected disadvantage such as a failure of the speaker 225 or a disconnection of the harness.
In such a case, by holding the variable member 601A at the starting point position SP separated from the working area, such a disadvantage can be prevented and the work efficiency of the worker can be improved. Can be done.

Further, when performing work such as removing the first reinforcing member 205 and the second reinforcing member 206 located on the left and right sides of the door frame 203, if the variable member 601A is held at the starting point position SP, the starting point position can be obtained. Since the SP is close to the first reinforcing member 205 and the second reinforcing member 206, the handle portion 605 may be touched during the work, and the holding state of the variable member 601A may be released. In such a case, the first reinforcing member 205 and the second reinforcing member 206 may come into contact with the variable member 601A, and the variable member 601A may be damaged.
Therefore, by holding the variable member 601A at the end point position EP separated from the working area, such a disadvantage can be prevented and the work efficiency of the worker can be improved.
Further, in the third arrangement example, since the first regulation means 503A and the second regulation means 504A are provided at both the start point position SP and the end point position EP, the first arrangement example and the second arrangement example are provided. An effect similar to the effect described in the example also occurs.

In the above description, an example in which the second regulating means 504A and the first regulating means 503A are provided at the start point position SP and the third regulating means 505A and the fourth regulating means 506A are provided at the end point position EP will be described. However, various examples can be considered as to what kind of regulatory means should be provided at the start point position SP and the end point position EP.
For example, the second regulating means 504A and the first regulating means 503A may be provided at the start point position SP, and either the third regulating means 505A or the fourth regulating means 506A may be provided at the ending position EP.

Further, either the first regulating means 503A or the second regulating means 504A may be provided at the start point position SP, and the third regulating means 505A and the fourth regulating means 506A may be provided at the ending point position EP.

Further, either the first regulating means 503A or the second regulating means 504A is provided at the start point position SP, and either the third regulating means 505A or the fourth regulating means 506A is provided at the ending point position EP. May be.

Even if the first regulating means 503A is not provided at the starting point position SP, by providing the second regulating means 504A, the variable member 601A does not rotate toward the first reinforcing member 205, so that the variable member 601A Does not come into contact with the first reinforcing member 205, and it is possible to prevent the variable member 601A from being worn or damaged.

Further, even when the second regulating means 504A is not provided at the starting point position SP, by providing the first regulating means 503A, the variable member 601A is separated from the pressed portion 307 by the first regulating means 503A. It is possible to hold the transparent plate unit 300 in a state, and it is possible to avoid interference between the variable member 601A and the transparent plate unit 300 when the transparent plate unit 300 is mounted on the door frame 203.

Further, even if the third regulating means 505A is not provided at the end point position EP, by providing the fourth regulating means 506A, the variable member 601A does not rotate toward the protective cover 220, so that the variable member 601A can be used. It is possible to prevent the variable member 601A or the protective cover 220 from being damaged by the variable member 601A coming into contact with the protective cover 220 without coming into contact with the protective cover 220.

Furthermore, even when the fourth regulating means 506A is not provided at the end point position EP, by providing the third regulating means 505A, at least the momentum of the variable member 601A rotating in the R2 direction can be reduced. can. As a result, even if the protective cover 220 and the variable member 601A come into contact with each other, the impact applied from the variable member 601A to the protective cover 220 is reduced, and it is possible to prevent the variable member 601A or the protective cover 220 from being damaged.
Further, the variable member 601A can be held by the third regulating means 505A due to the weight of the variable member 601A riding on the third regulating means 505A. As a result, it is possible to avoid interference between the variable member 601A and the transparent plate unit 300 when the transparent plate unit 300 is mounted on the door frame 203.

The variable member 601A is located at the initial position F (starting point position SP) due to its own weight, but the above effect is generated by providing the first regulating means 503A and the second regulating means 504A. It is desirable to provide the first regulating means 503A and the second regulating means 504A.
Similarly, since the above effect is obtained at the end point position EP of the variable member 601A, it is desirable to provide the third regulating means 505A and the fourth regulating means 506A (the first regulating means 503A and the second regulating means 504A). ..

(Relationship between variable member and protective cover, etc.)
The relationship between the variable member 601A and the protective cover 220 and the like will be described below with reference to FIGS. 105 and 106.

The protective cover 220 is provided with a passage 220a opened at the lower part of the left side surface. When the protective cover 220 is attached to the speaker unit 225, the passage 220a guides the cable 228 (conductive wire) of the speaker unit 225 housed inside the protective cover 220 to the outside of the protective cover 220. By guiding the cable 228 through the passage 220a, the cable 228 is connected to another substrate (not shown).
As a result, when the variable member 601A rotates in the R2 direction, the variable member 601A comes into contact with the lower surface of the protective cover 220 to restrict the rotation of the variable member 601A in the R2 direction, and the cable 228 is restricted to the variable member 601A. Does not interfere with the movable area of.

When the cable 228 is not housed by the protective cover 220, the cable 228 may overlap and get entangled in the movable region of the variable member 601A (see FIG. 105). In this case, the variable member 601A rotates while the cable 228 is entangled with the variable member 601A, so that the cable 228 is broken or the variable member 601A securely presses the pressed portion 307 of the transparent plate unit 300. It may not be possible. That is, there is a possibility that the transparent plate unit 300 cannot be securely fixed to the door frame 203 due to a failure of the speaker unit 225 due to a disconnection of the cable 228 or a variable member 601A.

Therefore, by covering the speaker unit 225 and the cable 228 with the protective cover 220 on the opening / closing body 200, the movable area of the variable member 601A is restricted by the protective cover 220, and the cable 228 is prevented from being entangled with the variable member 601A. The failure of the speaker unit 225 can be prevented, and the transparent plate unit 300 can be securely fixed to the door frame 203 by the variable member 601A.

[6-2-9. Arrangement of variable members]
Next, the arrangement of the variable member 601A for pressing the transparent plate unit 300 against the door frame 203 will be described (see FIGS. 107 and 108). Hereinafter, each example in the case where the key hole portion 250 is provided in the lower right portion of the gaming machine 1 will be described.
The variable member 601A fixes the transparent plate unit 300 to the door frame 203 by inserting (locking) the pressing protrusion 603 into the locking portion 309 of the pressed portion 307 of the transparent plate unit 300.

It is conceivable that the variable member 601A is provided at a position substantially symmetrical with respect to the reference line K, which is the center line in the left-right direction of the door frame 203, and is formed in a line-symmetrical shape (see FIG. 107A). As a result, the transparent plate unit 300 is pressed against the door frame 203 by the variable members 601A and 601A at two positions on the left and right.

Further, the variable members 601A, 601A, and 601A may be provided at the three corners where the key hole portion 250 is not provided, respectively (see FIG. 107B). Further, variable members 601A and 601A may be provided at two diagonal corners of the door frame 203, respectively (see FIG. 107C). Furthermore, one variable member 601A may be provided on the center line K in the left-right direction of the door frame 203 (see FIG. 107D).

Further, the variable member 601A may be provided at a position separated from the key hole portion 250 (see FIG. 108). That is, the center line in the vertical direction of the opening / closing body 200 is set as the reference line Q, the number of variable members 601A arranged on the side where the key hole portion 250 is provided is n, and the key hole portion 250 is not provided. When the number of variable members 601A arranged on the side is m, it is desirable that n is smaller than m. That is, it is desirable that n <m.

For example, as shown in FIG. 108A, the variable member 601A is not provided on the side where the key hole portion 250 is provided (n = 0), and the variable member is arranged on the side where the key hole portion 250 is not provided. It is conceivable that the number of members 601A is a plurality, for example, two (m = 2).
In this case, the portion of the transparent plate unit 300 on the side where the key hole portion 250 is provided is mounted on the transparent plate mounting means 400 and is held by the door frame 203.

Further, as shown in FIG. 108B, the number of variable members 601A arranged on the side where the key hole portion 250 is provided is set to one (n = 1), and the variable member 601A is arranged on the side where the key hole portion 250 is not provided. It is conceivable that the number of the variable members 601A formed is a plurality, for example, two (m = 2).
At this time, the variable member 601A arranged on the side where the key hole portion 250 is provided is opposite to the side where the key hole portion 250 is provided with reference to the reference line K which is the center line in the left-right direction of the door frame 203. It is provided on the side.

Further, as shown in FIG. 108C, the variable member 601A is not provided on the side where the key hole portion 250 is provided (n = 0), and the variable member is arranged on the side where the key hole portion 250 is not provided. The number of members 601A may be one (m = 1).
In this case, the portion of the transparent plate unit 300 on the side where the key hole portion 250 is provided is mounted on the transparent plate mounting means 400 and is held by the door frame 203.

If an operator's hand or the like comes into contact with the key hole portion 250 when operating the variable member 601A, the key hole portion 250 may be damaged. If the key hole portion 250 fails, it takes a lot of time and effort to open the front door 201 of the gaming machine 1. Further, if the key hole portion 250 is present in the rotation region of the variable member 601A, it is conceivable that the variable member 601A may be damaged by the contact of the variable member 601A with the key hole portion 250.

Therefore, by providing the rotation region of the variable member 601A separately from the key hole portion 250, the chance of the operator's hand or the variable member 601A coming into contact with the key hole portion 250 is reduced, and the failure of the key hole portion 250 is prevented. It is possible to prevent the variable member 601A from being damaged.
In particular, when n is made smaller than m (n <m), the number of variable members 601A located near the keyhole portion 250 is reduced, and the number of variable members 601A located apart from the variable member 601A is large. Therefore, the transparent plate unit 300 can be fixed to the door frame 203 in a stable state after preventing the occurrence of the position of the variable member 601A and the failure of the key hole portion 250.
In the above, the variable member 601 has been described as an example, but of course, it can also be applied to the variable member 601 and the variable member 601A.

[6-3. Third Embodiment]
Subsequently, the fixed collaborative means 500C and the fixed means 600C in the third embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 109 and 110. FIG. 109 is a perspective view showing the fixed collaborative means and the like on one of the left and right sides, and FIG. 110 is an exploded perspective view showing the fixed means and the fixed collaborative means on one side on the left and right. In the following description, the parts described in the first embodiment and the second embodiment are designated by the same reference numerals, and the description thereof will be omitted.

(Structure of fixed collaborative means)
The fixed collaborative means 500C has a shaft portion 523, a peripheral wall portion 526, a first reinforcing rib 524C, a second reinforcing rib 525C, and a positioning protrusion 507. The shaft portion 523, the peripheral wall portion 526, the first reinforcing rib 524C, the second reinforcing rib 525C, and the positioning protrusion 507 are integrally formed as each part of the door frame 203.
The shaft portion 523 projects from the base surface 203a toward the game board 103, and rotatably supports the variable member 601C described later.

The first reinforcing rib 524C protrudes from the base surface 203a toward the game board 103, and protrudes upward from one end of the peripheral wall portion 526. Further, the second reinforcing rib 525C protrudes from the base surface 203a toward the game board 103, and protrudes upward from the other end of the peripheral wall portion 526.
By providing the first reinforcing rib 524C and the second reinforcing rib 525C, the strength of the peripheral wall portion 526 can be improved. Further, by providing the first reinforcing rib 524C and the second reinforcing rib 525C, the strength of the door frame 203 is also improved.

The peripheral wall portion 526 has an arc wall 526a, a first regulating means 503B, a second regulating means 504B, a third regulating means 505B, and a fourth regulating means 506B. The arc wall 526a, the first regulating means 503B, the second regulating means 504B, the third regulating means 505B, and the fourth regulating means 506B are integrally formed.
The arc wall 526a is provided along the outer side of the outer peripheral surface 606c of the shaft portion 523 and protrudes from the base surface 203a toward the game board 103.

The first regulating means 503B, the second regulating means 504B, the third regulating means 505B, and the fourth regulating means 506B are projected from the inner peripheral surface 606b of the arc wall 526a toward the central axis of the shaft portion 523. There is. The second regulating means 504B, the first regulating means 503B, the third regulating means 505B, and the fourth regulating means 506B have the first reinforcing rib 524C to the second reinforcing rib 525C in the circumferential direction of the arc wall 526a. They are provided separately in order to the side.
In the second regulating means 504B and the fourth regulating means 506B, the amount of protrusion from the inner peripheral surface 606b of the arc wall 526a is the inner peripheral surface 606b of the arc wall 526a in the first regulating means 503B and the third regulating means 505B. It is made larger than the amount of protrusion from.

The first regulating means 503B and the third regulating means 505B have a substantially semicircular shape with a protrusion on the shaft portion 523 side. The first regulating means 503B and the third regulating means 505B apply a load to the variable member 601C when the variable member 601C rotates, and the second regulating means 504B and the fourth regulating means 506B are the movable member 601B. Regulate the rotation of.
The variable member 601C is rotated in the circumferential direction of the shaft portion 523, and is rotated from the second regulating means 504B side to the fourth regulating means 506B side via the first regulating means 503B and the third regulating means 505B. The direction of movement is the R1 direction, and the direction of rotation from the fourth regulating means 506B to the second regulating means 504B via the third regulating means 505B and the first regulating means 503B is the R2 direction.

The rotation restricting portion 610 of the variable member 601C can ride on the first regulating means 503B. Therefore, when the variable member 601C rotates in the circumferential direction, the rotation restricting portion 610 slides on the first regulating means 503B, so that the momentum of movement of the variable member 601C is weakened.

The rotation restricting portion 610 of the variable member 601C is prevented from riding on the second regulating means 504B, and the rotation of the variable member 601C in the R2 direction is restricted by the second regulating means 504B. That is, the second regulating means 504B regulates the excessive rotation of the variable member 601C in the R2 direction. The rotation of the variable member 601C is restricted in the R2 direction by the rotation restricting portion 610 coming into contact with the second regulating means 504B.

The rotation restricting portion 610 of the variable member 601C can ride on the third regulating means 505B. Therefore, when the variable member 601C rotates, the rotation restricting portion 610 slides on the third regulating means 505B, so that the momentum of movement of the variable member 601C is weakened.

The rotation restricting portion 610 of the variable member 601C is prevented from riding on the fourth regulating means 506B, and the rotation of the variable member 601C in the R1 direction is restricted by the fourth regulating means 506B. That is, the fourth regulating means 506B regulates the excessive rotation of the variable member 601C in the R1 direction. The rotation of the variable member 601C is restricted in the R1 direction by the rotation restricting portion 610 coming into contact with the fourth regulating means 506B.

(Structure of fixing means)
The fixing means 600C has a variable member 601C and a screw member 620.
The variable member 601C is rotatable with respect to the door frame 203, and the transparent plate unit 300 arranged on the front side of the game board 103 is pressed against the door frame 203 and fixed in a state of being rotated to a predetermined rotation position. do. The variable member 601C has a supported portion 606, a fixed portion 607, a handle portion 605, a pressing protrusion portion 603, and a rotation restricting portion 610 (see FIGS. 109 and 110).

An insertion hole 606a is formed in the supported portion 606 and is formed in a cylindrical shape. The variable member 601C is rotatably supported by the door frame 203 by inserting the shaft portion 523 into the insertion hole 606a.
The fixed portion 607 is formed in a flat plate shape so as to project from the supported portion 606 in a direction orthogonal to the axial direction of the supported portion 606. The handle portion 605 is provided so as to project from the fixed portion 607 toward the game board 103 and extend in the longitudinal direction of the fixed portion 607 at the central portion of the fixed portion 607 in the lateral direction.
The pressing protrusion 603 projects from the tip of the fixing portion 607 toward the door frame 203. The outer surface of the holding protrusion 603 is formed in a curved surface shape that is convex toward the door frame 203 side.

The rotation restricting portion 610 protrudes from the outer peripheral surface 606c of the supported portion 606 to the opposite side of the fixing portion 607.
When the rotation restricting unit 610 slides in contact with the first regulating means 503B or the third regulating means 505B, a load is applied to the variable member 601C and the momentum of the rotation of the variable member 601C is weakened. .. Further, the rotation of the variable member 601C is restricted by the rotation restricting unit 610 coming into contact with the second regulating means 504B or the fourth regulating means 506B.
The rotation restricting portion 610 has a curved outer surface, and the variable member 601C can smoothly ride on and slide on the first regulating means 503B and the third regulating means 505B.

The screw member 620 has a head portion 621, a screw shaft portion 622, and a flange portion 623. The flange portion 623 is larger than the insertion hole 606a and smaller than the outer diameter of the supported portion 606. With the shaft portion 523 inserted into the insertion hole 606a of the supported portion 606, the screw member 620 is screwed into the shaft portion 523 so that the variable member 601C has the base surface 203a and the flange portion 623 of the screw member 620. It is rotatably supported by the shaft portion 523 between them.

(About movable position)
Next, the movable position of the transparent plate unit 300 with respect to the door frame 203 by the variable member 601C will be described with reference to FIGS. 111 to 115.
111 is a diagram illustrating a first position of the variable member, FIGS. 112 and 113 are diagrams illustrating a second position of the variable member, and FIGS. 114 and 115 are third positions of the variable member. It is a figure explaining.
There are at least a first position, a second position, and a third position as movable positions of the variable member 601C, and in the third embodiment, the third position P3, the second position P2, and the first position. P1, the second position P2, and the third position P3 exist in order in the circumferential direction. Here, for the sake of simplicity, the position of the straight line F connecting the center point of the holding protrusion 603 and the rotation fulcrum M of the shaft portion 523 is conveniently defined as the movable position of the variable member 601C.

As described above, the transparent plate unit 300 is mounted on the base surface 203a in a state of being mounted and held on the transparent plate mounting means 400. Further, the variable member 601C exists on the left and right, and the transparent plate unit 300 is pressed and fixed to the door frame 203 by the variable members 601C on both sides, but the rotation of the variable member 601C is substantially symmetrical on the left and right. Hereinafter, only the operation of one of the variable members 601C will be described.
In the following description, the rotation direction of the variable member 601C is shown as the R1 direction or the R2 direction. The R1 direction is a clockwise direction when the variable member 601C is viewed from the rear, and the R2 direction is a counterclockwise direction when the variable member 601C is viewed from the rear.

The first position P1 of the variable member 601C is a position where the transparent plate unit 300 is pressed against the door frame 203 to be fixed (see FIG. 111). Therefore, it is a position where the pressing protrusion 603 of the variable member 601C is inserted (locked) into the locking portion 309 formed in the pressed portion 307 of the transparent plate unit 300.

The second position P2 is a position from when the rotation restricting unit 610 comes into contact with the first restricting means 503B until it gets over (see FIG. 112).
That is, when the variable member 601C rotates in the R1 direction or the R2 direction, the rotation restricting unit 610 rides on the first regulating means 503B from the position in contact with the first regulating means 503B and rides on the first regulating means 503B. The position up to the position overcoming the above corresponds to the second position P2.

The second position is also the position from when the rotation restricting unit 610 comes into contact with the third restricting means 505B until it gets over it (see FIG. 113).
That is, when the variable member 601C rotates in the R1 direction or the R2 direction, the rotation restricting unit 610 rides on the third regulating means 505B from the position in contact with the third regulating means 505B, and the third regulating means 505B. Even the position overcoming the above corresponds to the second position P2.

The third position P3 is a position where the rotation restricting unit 610 is in contact with the second restricting means 504B (see FIG. 114). When the rotation restricting unit 610 comes into contact with the second restricting means 504B at the third position P3, excessive rotation of the variable member 601C in the R2 direction is restricted.

Further, the third position P3 is also a position where the rotation restricting unit 610 is in contact with the fourth restricting means 506B (see FIG. 115). When the rotation restricting unit 610 comes into contact with the fourth restricting means 506B at the third position P3, excessive rotation of the variable member 601C in the R1 direction is restricted.

(Operation of variable member)
Hereinafter, the rotational operation of the variable member 601C in the fixing work and the fixing release work of the transparent plate unit 300 with respect to the opening / closing body 200 will be described with reference to FIGS. 116 to 125.

In the state before the transparent plate unit 300 is pressed against the rear surface of 203, the variable member 601C is held in the initial position (see FIG. 116).
In the initial position, when the rotation restricting unit 610 is located between the third regulating means 505B and the fourth regulating means 506B, no force is applied to the variable member 601C, and the variable member 601C is held by its own weight. Position. In the initial position, the holding protrusion 603 is positioned directly below the shaft portion 523.

At this time, the transparent plate unit 300 is fixed to the opening / closing body 200 by rotating the variable member 601C from the initial position in the R2 direction, but the operator grips the handle portion 605 and mistakenly uses the variable member 601C. When rotated in the R1 direction, the rotation restricting unit 610 comes into contact with the fourth regulating means 506B, and the rotation of the variable member 601C in the R1 direction is restricted (FIG. 117).
Therefore, excessive rotation of the variable member 601C in the R1 direction is restricted, and the variable member 601B can be rotated in the correct direction in the fixing work of the transparent plate unit 300.

When the variable member 601C is rotated in the R2 direction from the initial position, the rotation restricting unit 610 comes into contact with the third restricting means 505B, and the rotational momentum of the variable member 601C is reduced (see FIG. 118).
Further, when the variable member 601C is rotated in the R2 direction, the rotation restricting unit 610 is slid on the third regulating means 505B, and the rotation regulating unit 610 is in a state of riding on the third regulating means 505B. (See FIG. 119). At this time, at least one of the rotation restricting portion 610 or the third regulating means 505B is elastically deformed.

When the variable member 601C is further rotated in the R2 direction, the rotation restricting unit 610 gets over the third restricting means 505B, and the rotation restricting unit 610 elastically returns (see FIG. 120).
At this time, the pressing protrusion 603 of the variable member 601C rides on the inclined portion 312 of the pressed portion 307, and the fixed portion 607 is elastically deformed with respect to the supported portion 606. As a result, the transparent plate unit 300 is pressed against the door frame 203 by the variable member 601C.

When the variable member 601C is further rotated in the R2 direction, the pressing protrusion 603 gets over the inclined portion 312 and is inserted (locked) into the locking portion 309 of the pressed portion 307 (see FIG. 121). As a result, the transparent plate unit 300 is fixed to the door frame 203 by the variable member 601C. When the pressing portion 603 is inserted into the locking portion 309, the fixing portion 607 elastically returns.
At this time, the rotation restricting unit 610 is located between the first regulating means 503B and the third regulating means 505B.

When the variable member 601C is rotated in the R2 direction while the transparent plate unit 300 is fixed to the door frame 203 as described above, the locking portion 603 is released from the locking portion 309 (FIG. 122). (See), the holding protrusion 603 is slid on the inclined portion 312, and the fixed portion 607 is elastically deformed with respect to the supported portion 606.
At this time, the rotation restricting unit 610 is in contact with the first restricting means 503B.

When the variable member 601C is further rotated in the R2 direction, the rotation restricting unit 610 is slid on the first regulating means 503B, and the rotation regulating unit 610 is in a state of riding on the first regulating means 503B. (See FIG. 123). At this time, the rotation restricting portion 610 or the first regulating means 503B is elastically deformed, and the momentum of rotation of the variable member 601C is reduced.

When the variable member 601C further rotates in the R2 direction, the rotation restricting unit 610 gets over the first restricting means 503B (see FIG. 124).
When the rotation restricting portion 610 gets over the first regulating means 503B, the fixing portion 607 is located at a position separated from the upper side of the pressed portion 307, and the fixing of the transparent plate unit 300 to the door frame 203 is released. .. Therefore, the operator can remove the transparent plate unit 300 from the opening / closing body 200.

Further, when the variable member 601C rotates in the R2 direction, the rotation restricting unit 610 that has passed over the first regulating means 503B comes into contact with the second regulating means 504B, and the variable member 601C is excessively rotated in the R2 direction. It is regulated (see Figure 125).

When the force applied to the variable member 601C in the R2 direction is released, the variable member 601C is rotated in the R1 direction by its own weight, and the rotation restricting portion 610 of the variable member 601C is lowered to the first regulating means 503B. It is held at the position where it touches from (see FIG. 124). The position of the variable member 601C in which the rotation restricting portion 610 is held in contact with the first regulating means 503B from below is defined as the holding position.

In the above, the transparent plate unit 300 is fixed to the opening / closing body 200 by rotating the variable member 601C in the R2 direction from the initial position to the holding position, and the opening / closing body 200 of the transparent plate unit 300 is used. An example of releasing the fixation is shown.
However, the example in which the transparent plate unit 300 is fixed to the opening / closing body 200 and the fixing of the transparent plate unit 300 from the opening / closing body 200 is not limited to the above is not limited to the above, and various patterns are used for the rotation of the variable member 601C. Conceivable.

For example, the state in which the rotation restricting unit 610 is in contact with the first restricting means 503B from below is set as the initial position, and the variable member 601C is rotated in the R1 direction to fix the transparent plate unit 300 to the opening / closing body 200. The fixing of the transparent plate unit 300 from the opening / closing body 200 may be released.
Further, in a state where the rotation restricting unit 610 is located between the third regulating means 505B and the fourth regulating means 506B, no force is applied to the variable member 601C and the variable member 601C is held by its own weight. Is set as the initial position, the transparent plate unit 300 is fixed to the opening / closing body 200 by rotating the variable member 601C in the R2 direction, and the opening / closing body 200 of the transparent plate unit 300 is rotated in the R1 direction. You may release the fixation from.
Further, the state in which the rotation restricting unit 610 is in contact with the first restricting means 503B from below is set as the initial position, and the variable member 601C is rotated in the R1 direction to fix the transparent plate unit 300 to the opening / closing body 200. The fixing of the transparent plate unit 300 from the opening / closing body 200 may be released by rotating the variable member 601C in the R2 direction.

By providing the third regulating means 505B and the fourth regulating means 506B in addition to the first regulating means 503B and the second regulating means 504B, the initial position and the rotation direction are set according to the convenience of the worker's work. Can be selected.

(Effect of the third embodiment)
In the third embodiment, an arcuate peripheral wall portion 526 located along the outside of the outer peripheral surface 606c of the supported portion 606 is provided, and the first regulating means 503B, the second regulating means 504B, and the second regulating means 504B are provided. The regulation means 505B of 3 and the regulation means 506B of the fourth are integrally formed with the peripheral wall portion 526 in the circumferential direction.

Since various members are arranged on the door frame 203, the door frame 203 will be provided with the first regulating means 503B, the second regulating means 504B, the third regulating means 505B, and the fourth regulating means 506B, respectively. Then, the arrangement area of other members of the door frame 203 may be reduced, and the degree of freedom in design may be reduced.

Therefore, by forming the first regulating means 503B, the second regulating means 504B, the third regulating means 505B, and the fourth regulating means 506B integrally with the arcuate peripheral wall portion 526 in the circumferential direction, the peripheral wall portion 526 is formed. The space for arranging the first regulating means 503B, the second regulating means 504B, and the third regulating means 505B in the door frame 203 can be small, and the area on the rear surface of the door frame 203 can be effectively utilized and the number of parts can be used. Can be reduced.

Further, by sliding in contact with the first regulating means 503B or the third regulating means 505B, the momentum of rotation of the variable member 601C is weakened, and by contacting with the second regulating means 504B or the fourth regulating means 506B. The rotation restricting portion 610 that regulates the rotation of the variable member 601C and the fixing portion 607 that presses the transparent plate unit 300 against the door frame 203 by inserting (locking) the pressing protrusion 603 into the locking portion 309. It is formed in different portions in the variable member 601C.

By forming the pressing protrusion 603 in the fixing portion 607 in a portion different from the rotation restricting portion 610, the pressing protrusion 603 slides on the first regulating means 503B or the third regulating means 505B. Wear of 603 can be prevented.
Therefore, it is possible to prevent the holding protrusion 603 from being worn, improve the service life of the variable member 601C, and securely fix the transparent plate unit 300 to the door frame 203.

In the third embodiment, an example in which the rotation restricting portion 610 protrudes from the outer peripheral surface 606c of the supported portion 606 to the opposite side of the fixing portion 607 has been described, but the rotation restricting portion 610 is described above. It is not limited to this, and may be provided at various positions of the supported portion 606. For example, the rotation restricting portion 610 may be provided on the end surface of the end portion of the supported portion 606. At this time, the first regulation unit 503B, the second regulation unit 504B, the third regulation unit 505B, and the fourth regulation unit 506B are provided on the base surface 203a of the door frame 203 and in contact with the outer surface 609a. You may.
Further, for example, the rotation restricting portion 610 may be provided on the inner peripheral surface 606b of the supported portion 606. At this time, the first regulation unit 503B, the second regulation unit 504B, the third regulation unit 505B, and the fourth regulation unit 506B are provided on the outer peripheral surface 606c of the shaft portion 523.

As in the second embodiment, the door frame 203 is provided with the reinforcing portion 522, and the reinforcing portion 522 is provided with the first regulating portion 503B, the second regulating section 504B, the third regulating section 505B, and the fourth regulating section. 506B may be provided.
Further, a small diameter portion 527 and a large diameter portion 528 are provided on the shaft portion 523, and the first regulation portion 503B, the second regulation portion 504B, and the third regulation portion 505B are provided on the end faces of the large diameter portion 528 on the game board 103 side. A fourth regulation unit 506B may be provided.

<7. Relationship between color and arrangement of members>
Next, coloring of each member will be described with reference to FIG. 126. FIG. 126 is an explanatory diagram showing a color relationship between the door frame 203 and the fixing means 600.
Here, as an example, the color C1 of the door frame 203, the color C2 of the variable member 601A, and the color C3 of the holding member 302 of the transparent plate unit 300 will be described.
The color C1 of the door frame 203 is black, and the color C2 of the variable member 601A inserted through the shaft portion 523 of the door frame 203 is white. In addition, red or the like is used for the color C2.
The color C3 of the holding member 302 that abuts on the base surface 203a of the door frame 203 is formed in black.
Further, each member such as the door frame 203, the transparent plate unit 300, and the variable member 601A is formed in one color. This makes it possible to reduce the manufacturing cost of parts.

The color C1 of the door frame 203 and the color C3 of the holding member 302 are common, while the color C1 of the door frame 203 and the color C2 of the variable member 601A are different. Further, the color C2 of the variable member 601A has a higher brightness than the color C1 of the door frame 203. As a result, the variable member 601A stands out in the region where the transparent plate unit 300 is pressed against the variable member 601A, so that the position of the variable member 601A can be easily grasped.

Attaching the opening 219 of the door frame 203 and the transparent plate unit 300 in a stable state avoids interruption of the game due to a situation such as a game ball spilling to the outside during the game, and the player does not spoil the interest of the game. Is important to continue. In addition, the door frame 203 and the transparent plate are also in the sense that the act of fraudulently acting on the board or the like inside the gaming machine 1 by using a wire or the like from the gap between the door frame 203 and the transparent plate unit 300 (so-called goto act) is prevented. It is necessary for the manager or the like of the store to periodically check whether the unit 300 is installed in a stable state.

Here, tens or hundreds of gaming machines are usually installed in the store, and the manager of the store attaches all the gaming machines to the door frame 203 of the transparent plate unit 300 in a short time such as before opening the store. It was a difficult task to check the condition. Therefore, it is desired that the mounting state of the transparent plate unit 300 can be easily visually confirmed.

Therefore, in the present invention, the color C1 of the door frame 203 and the color C2 of the variable member 601A are different colors. This makes it possible to easily visually grasp the position of the variable member 601A. Therefore, if the position where the transparent plate unit 300 of the variable member 601A is pressed is grasped, it is only necessary to confirm whether or not the variable member 601A exists at the position, and the door frame 203 of the transparent plate unit 300 can be used. The mounting state can be easily confirmed. Therefore, it is possible to improve the safety and the efficiency of the confirmation work.

In addition, the manager on the store side often confirms the mounting state of the transparent plate unit 300 on the door frame 203 of the gaming machine in a dark store, and in that case, directly touches the mounting state of the transparent plate unit 300 on the door frame 203. It was often confirmed by this. Therefore, by setting the color C2 of the variable member 601A to a color having a higher brightness than the color C1 of the door frame 203 and the color C3 of the holding member 302, the position of the variable member 601A can be visually confirmed even when the surroundings are dark. Improves sex. As a result, the manager on the store side can confirm the mounting state of the transparent plate unit 300 with respect to the door frame 203 only by looking at the angle of the variable member 601A and the like, and can improve the efficiency of the confirmation work. ..

Further, in the rotation region of the variable member 601A in the door frame 203, a color C1 (color C3) having a color different from that of the color C2 of the variable member 601A is arranged. That is, neither the color C2 nor the color having substantially the same brightness as the color C2 nor the color similar to or similar to the color C2 is applied to the rotation region of the variable member 601A of the color C2.
This makes it possible to easily visually confirm at which position the variable member 601A is present, in addition to whether or not the variable member 601A is present at the position where the transparent plate unit 300 is pressed. Therefore, it is possible to further improve the work efficiency of the worker.

Further, when the region overlapping with the rotating region of the variable member 601A in the opening / closing body 200 is designated as the first overlapping region, and the region overlapping with the rotating region of the variable member 601A in the transparent plate unit 300 is designated as the second overlapping region. It is also conceivable that the variable member 601 and the first overlapping region have different colors, and the variable member 601 and the second overlapping region have different colors.
As a result, the operator can easily grasp the positional relationship between the variable member 601A and the opening / closing body 200, and the positional relationship between the variable member 601A and the transparent plate unit 300. Therefore, it is possible to improve the work efficiency of the worker.

Further, the members other than the variable member 601A having the color C2, the color having substantially the same brightness as the color C2, and the color similar to (or similar to) the color C2 avoid the rotation region of the variable member 601A of the color C2. It is provided at the above position.
For example, when the variable member 601A is formed in white, other members other than the variable member 601A such as the protective cover 220, the first reinforcing member 205, and the second reinforcing member 206 are formed in metallic color (silver). The color is similar to that of the variable member 601A (similar color), but the protective cover 220, the first reinforcing member 205, and the second reinforcing member 206 are located at positions avoiding the rotation region of the variable member 601A. It is provided. As a result, the variable member 601A is unlikely to be mistaken for a protective cover 220 or the like having a similar color, and the existing position of the variable member 601A can be easily visually recognized.

Furthermore, the gaming machine 1 may not use any member other than the variable member 601A having the color C2, the color having substantially the same brightness as the color C2, and the color similar to (or similar to) the color C2. For example, it is possible not to use the color C2, the color having substantially the same brightness as the color C2, and the color similar to (or similar to) the color C2 for the color of the connector, the harness, or the like.
As a result, the variable member 601A is less likely to be mistaken for another component having a similar color, and the existing position of the variable member 601A can be more easily visually recognized.

Various examples can be considered for the combination of the color C1 of the door frame 203 (the color C3 of the holding member 302) and the color C2 of the variable member 601A for improving the visibility of the variable member 601A.
For example, the color C1 can be a chromatic color such as red, blue, or yellow, and the color C2 (color C3) can be an achromatic color such as white or black. Further, the color C1 may be a warm color such as yellow, orange, or red, and the color C2 (color C3) may be a cold color such as blue or bluish purple. Further, the color C1 may be a color having a high lightness such as white or silver, and the color C2 (color C3) may be a color having a low lightness such as black. Further, the color C1 may be a warm color such as yellow, and the color C2 (color C3) may be a cold color such as blue or bluish purple. Further, the contrast color and the complementary color of the color C1 may be the color C2 (color C3).

Further, in the gaming machine 1, there is a member that is obliged to be colored with a specific color from the viewpoint of improving safety and the like. Therefore, it is desirable that the color C2 of the variable member 601A be set to a color other than such a specific color.
For example, some specific harnesses have colors specified in yellow, pink, and the like. Therefore, it is conceivable that colors such as yellow and pink are not used for the color C2 of the variable member 601A.
As a result, the variable member 601A is less likely to be mistaken for a specific member in the gaming machine 1, and the safety of the gaming machine 1 can be improved.
Similarly, the above-mentioned specific color can not be used in the color C1 of the door frame 203 and the color C3 of the holding member 302.

As described above, by selecting the color of each member as necessary, each member can be easily distinguished visually.

<8. Notation position of identification information>
Next, the notation area of the identification information on the game board 103 will be described with reference to FIGS. 127 and 128. 127 and 128 are diagrams showing the notable area E of the game board 103. Information about the game machine 1 (hereinafter referred to as game machine information) is written on the portion of the front surface of the game board 103 other than the game area 103a.
Here, the area where the gaming machine information can be described will be described as the notable area E. In FIG. 127, notable areas E1, E2, E3, and E4 are formed as notable areas.

The gaming machine information is a management number and model information composed of characters (including numbers and symbols) indicating the manufacturer (manufacturer), model, date, etc. of the gaming machine 1, and work is performed on the gaming machine 1. This is information for handling the gaming machine 1 safely and without fraud, such as a note to the operator.
The notable areas E1, E2, E3, and E4 can be visually recognized when the front door 201 is opened from the front frame 102, but when the front door 201 is closed, the transparent plate unit 300 is attached to the door frame 203. The opening 219 is closed by the contact with the door, so that the door cannot be visually recognized from the outside.
The gaming machine information is printed or attached by a sticker to the notable area E, for example.

Such gaming machine information is highly important information that confirms consistency with the model so that fraud due to board replacement is not performed in regular inspections at stores, and conveys important information in work to workers. Therefore, when the handle portion 605 or the like comes into contact with the gaming machine information when the variable member 601A rotates, there is a possibility that the sticker on which the gaming machine information is written may be peeled off or the printed notation may be scraped off.

Therefore, as shown in FIG. 128, the gaming machine information is shown in the notable region E in the region avoiding the rotation region AR of the variable member 601A. The variable member 601A represented by the alternate long and short dash line in the figure indicates the position of the variable member 601A located on the rear surface side of the door frame 203 facing the front surface of the gaming machine 103. Further, the region surrounded by the dotted line indicates the rotation region AR of the variable member 601A.
Here, since the notable area E1 and the notable area E2 have a portion overlapping with the rotation area AR of the variable member 601A, the notable area E1 and the notable area E2 excluding the rotation area AR 5 can be described. The notable area E6 is the notable area.

By describing the gaming machine information in the region of the notable region E that avoids the rotation region AR of the variable member 601A, it is possible to protect highly important information about the gaming machine 1. As a result, the safety of the operator in the gaming machine 1 can be ensured. Further, since good visibility of the gaming machine information such as the management number can be ensured, the inspection efficiency can be improved in the periodic inspection of the gaming machine 1 at the store.
It should be noted that each notable area E shown in the figure has been described as an example for convenience of explanation, and it is possible to describe the gaming machine information as a displayable area even in an area other than the displayable area E shown in the figure.

In the description so far, a ball game machine (pachinko game machine) using a game ball as a game medium has been exemplified, but the machine is not particularly limited as long as it can achieve the object of the present invention. For example, a gaming machine that uses a gaming medium having a shape other than a spherical shape as a gaming medium, a rotating drum gaming machine, or the like may be used. Further, as long as it does not deviate from the technical idea of the present invention, it is possible to combine the above-described embodiments, and a portion having the same configuration can be realized by other embodiments. Is.

Further, in the description so far, the slide type variable member 601 (see, for example, FIGS. 36 and 52) that mainly moves in the vertical direction (or the horizontal direction) and the rotary type variable member that rotates about one point as an axis. Although the present invention has been described by taking the member 601A (see, for example, FIG. 55, FIG. 63, etc.) and the variable member 601B (see, for example, FIG. 109, etc.) as an example, it is necessary that the member has only one of the locking members. There is no. For example, when locking at four points, two of them (for example, two points on the left and right at the top, or two points at the top and bottom near the hinge portion 105) are rotary variable members, and two other points. (For example, two points on the left and right in the lower part, or two points on the upper and lower sides far from the hinge portion 105, etc.) may be a slide type variable member.

This is for example, when there is a requirement that a large speaker is to be arranged in the gaming machine 1, a gaming area is to be secured up to the hinge portion 105, or a large movable accessory is to be arranged (that is, a space for arranging a variable member). If all four points have the same shape, mold (slide type or rotary type), size, and movable range), it may not be possible to lock firmly because it will fit the smallest one. Because.

Further, when the transparent plate unit 300 is locked to the door frame 203 at four points (or two to three points), the variable member can be sufficiently arranged by locking the transparent plate unit 300 by at least two or more kinds of locking methods. Place a small (shape and / or small movable range) variable member in the place where it cannot be removed (including the case where the movable range of the variable member is limited although it can be arranged), and place it in other places (at least one point). By arranging a variable member larger than that (the shape and / or the movable range is small), it is possible to prevent the locking object such as the transparent plate unit 300 from falling off.

Further, as another solution from the viewpoint of placement space, the variable member is not completely separated such as a slide type or a rotary type, but first slides in the vertical direction (or the horizontal direction) and then (the first operation is performed). It may be a variable member that combines each movable mode, such as rotating (performing a second operation). By doing so, even if sufficient space for rotating the locking member cannot be secured at the initial position (first position), the locking member is rotated after being slid to the retracted position (second position). Therefore, it is possible to improve the degree of freedom of the fixed position (arrangement of the variable member) for fixing the variable member itself.

The object locked by the variable member is not necessarily limited to glass, the transparent plate unit 300, and the like, and the portion where the variable member itself is fixed does not necessarily have to be an opening / closing body. For example, as an object locked by the variable member, a display device (liquid crystal display device, dot display device, etc.), an accessory (movable object, non-movable object), a decorative member (decorative sheet, identification information, etc.) are displayed. Sheet-shaped members), substrates on which LEDs and other electronic components are mounted, and the like.
Further, the place where the variable member is fixed is not limited to the opening / closing body, and may be directly fixed to the upper surface, side surface, or back surface of the gaming machine or indirectly fixed (for example, to the base body arranged on the back surface of the gaming machine). It also includes cases where it is fixed.

Finally, the description of each embodiment described above is an example of the present invention, and the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment. Therefore, other than the above-described embodiments, various changes can be made according to the design and the like as long as they do not deviate from the technical idea of the present invention.
