Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] This invention relates to an improvement of a glass door that is attached to the front frame of a pachinko machine so that it can be opened and closed.

As is well known, the glass door of conventional pachinko machines,
In general, the window frame (also called metal frame) fixed to the front of the front frame is opened horizontally using a vertical support shaft, and the door is opened vertically by inserting and removing the glass from above. The left and right rail frames and the lower rail frame for glass are fixed to the three peripheries of the back side of the frame that forms the main body, and an insertion slot for glass is opened on the top surface, and the above insertion is performed with the door open. It is designed to take the glass in and out of the mouth, but it is very troublesome. In other words, the glass must be installed while the pachinko machine in question is installed on a stand, also known as an "island", inside the parlor (inside the hall), whether it is a new set or a replacement set for damage. When inserting or removing (replacing) the glass, you have to lift it up one by one to the insertion slot of the door, which is very troublesome, and it is inconvenient because you cannot insert or remove the glass unless you open the door nearly 90 degrees to the window frame. It is. Especially when all the machines in the store are installed, the time and effort required to take in and out the glass is large.

The present invention was devised in view of the above-mentioned problems, and an opening for glass insertion is formed on the side of the glass door opposite to the opening/closing fulcrum, so that the glass can be inserted from the side and taken out from the side. The purpose of this invention is to
To eliminate troublesomeness by simplifying the loading and unloading (replacement) of glass in a pachinko machine.

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. In the figure, reference numeral 1 denotes a front frame, around which a support rod 3 for a spacer is fixed around the back surface of the window 2. 4 is a game board, which can be attached and detached from the front of the front frame 1 using the window 2;
Then, it is fitted and held in a holding frame 5 fixed in a square shape along three circumferences of the support rod 3. 6 is frame opening 2 of front frame 1

is vertically inserted, and there is a lock plate 8 for locking the glass door on the inside right side.
It is attached so that it can be raised and lowered. This lock plate 8 can be operated in the unlocking direction using a key from the front side of the front frame 1 and a handle from the back side of the pachinko machine (front frame), as in the conventional case. Furthermore, window frame 6
A saucer mounting plate attached to the bottom so that it can be opened and closed is not shown.

A glass door 9 is attached to the inside of the window frame 6 so as to be openable and closable. This glass door 9 has a left rail frame 1 for glass on the back side of a rectangular frame 10 that forms the door body.
1A, upper and lower rail frames 11B and 11C to each other
The window frame 6 has a vertical cylindrical shaft support 12 formed on the left side edge of the frame body 10 which is fitted into the aforementioned support shaft 7. It is supported in a horizontally opening manner. Note that the frame body 10
A reinforcing plate 10A is fixed to the back surface of the right frame portion.
In addition, each of the rail frames 11A, 11B, and 11C has a double concave-convex cross section in order to receive the two pieces of glass G. Further, the support shaft 7 is fixed after supporting the door 9.

In the above-mentioned opening of the glass door 9, as shown in FIG.
9 are installed respectively. First, the connecting vertical rod 13 is
The upper and lower rail frames 11B are intended to reinforce the door.
It is connected between the right ends of 11C to form insertion ports 16, 16 for each glass in the opening. This vertical rod 1
3 is a metal tube bent into a square shape, and its vertical rod portion 13a is fitted into the openings 14, 14 at the right ends of the upper and lower rail frames 11B, 11C, respectively, and the respective engagement plates 15,
15, and then the upper and lower horizontal rod parts 13b, 1
3c is fixed to the outside of the rail frames 11B and 11C. On the other hand, the support shaft 17 serves as an opening/closing support shaft for a holding frame 19, which will be described later.
Branch piece 18 formed on the back side of each right end of B, 11C,
Connected between 18. Note that the support shaft 17 is made of a metal bar material, and after supporting the holding frame 19, each support shaft 17 is

Strengthen connections to C.

The holding frame 19 holds the right end of each glass G, and vertically cylindrical shaft supports 20, 20 formed at the upper and lower parts of the back side edge are inserted into the support shaft 17 to support the glass G in an openable and closable manner. and, if appropriate, hooks 21, 21 for the lock plate 8 are provided on the outer surface of the lower part.
is firmly attached. The holding frame 19 has a double concave and convex cross section that is shallower than each of the rail frames, and in the closed state, its upper and lower ends are connected to the upper and lower rail frames 11B, 11.
The door 9 is engaged with the inside of each right end of the door 9 to strengthen the door 9 as a whole. Although the support shaft 17 and the support shaft 20 protrude toward the front surface of the game board 4 over the entire height of the door 9, they do not have any influence on the play surface composed of the rail surface.

As a means for holding the above-mentioned holding frame 19 in a closed state, a locking piece 22 is disposed at an appropriate lower portion of the back surface of the frame body 10. This lock piece 22 is
Both are made of leaf spring material, and are fixed to the back surface of the right frame portion of the frame body 10 so as to be elastically deformable, as shown in FIGS. 3 and 5, and an engaging portion 2 formed at the free end thereof.
2a is a part of the holding frame 19 (in the illustration, each hanger 2
(inner end of 1). Incidentally, the lock piece 22 is located at a position where it does not protrude into the insertion opening 16 of the windshield and does not interfere with the lock plate 8, and engages with the holding frame 19 side in the closed state, and by pushing it into the frame body 10 side. The holding frame 19 can be released by disengaging the engaging portion 22a from the hanger 21, and the holding frame 1 is not elastically deformed during the closing process of the frame 19.
9 can be automatically engaged.

Therefore, according to the glass door 9 of this example, when the pachinko machine itself is installed in the store, the glass can be easily taken in and out from the insertion opening 16 on the side of the door with a simple operation. That is, when the door 9 is opened as shown in FIGS. 6 and 7, by pushing in each lock piece 22 and releasing the holding frame 19, the frame 19 rotates outward about the support shaft 17. Can be opened, holding frame 19
By opening the openings, each insertion opening 16 is completely opened, so that the glass G can be inserted or pulled out from the opening 16. Note that the three peripheral edges of each set glass G are fitted and held in the rail portions of the respective rail frames 11A, 11B, and 11C.

Then, after setting the glass, attach the holding frame 1
Close 9. That is, by rotating the holding frame 19 to its original position, the holding frame 19 can be moved to each lock piece 22.
It is automatically locked in the closed position with elastic deformation of the glass G, and in this position it comes into contact with the right end of the glass G to prevent its fluctuation and wobbling. As a result, the holding frame 19 can be prevented from being opened accidentally, the glass G can be prevented from protruding from the insertion opening 16, and the door 9 can be safely closed and locked with the locking device.

By the way, when inserting or removing glass from the glass door in this example, the door 9 should be placed against the window frame 6 as shown in Figure 6.
It is sufficient to open the door a little (to the extent that the right side part comes out to the front), and it can be done quickly and easily at a lower position than the previous vertical insertion type, excluding the height of the door itself. Note that although the door 9 is made into a glass side-insertion type, the strength of the door itself is not impaired in any way, and fraudulent acts due to the insertion of foreign objects can be prevented.

Note that the glass door of the present invention is not limited to the above-mentioned embodiments, and may be modified as appropriate. For example, the connecting vertical rod 13 may be formed of a square or round bar. The holding frame 19 may be rotatable together with the support shaft 17.
The locking means for the holding frame 19 may be appropriately selected from various types other than those shown in the drawings.
What is necessary is to attach it in a shape that adapts to the cross-sectional shape of A, 11B, and 11C.

In this way, the glass door of the present invention has an opening formed on the side opposite to the opening/closing fulcrum when it opens horizontally relative to the window frame, and the glass can be taken in and out from this opening. It can be easily installed both as a new set and as a replacement set for damaged ones.Especially when pachinko machines are installed in a store, it can be easily accessed from a low position, eliminating the hassle of putting in and taking out glasses. . Furthermore, by attaching the glass holding frame to the opening so as to be openable and closable, it is possible to prevent the glass set in the door from shifting, and to safely close the door after the glass has been set.
