Abstract

PURPOSE:To carry out the calling indication in case of trouble generation from a glass plate on the front surface of a playing board by arranging a transparent touch panel which acts as switch when the outside surface of the glass plate fitted onto the front surface of the playing board is pushed by fingers. CONSTITUTION:As for the transparent touch panels 12a and 12b, two layers of transparent conductive films 14 and 15 are opposed through a spacer 13, and the transparent conductive films 14 and 15 in the upper and lower parts conduct by the pressing by fingers, and output signals. When a trouble such as the stop of balls during playing is generated, the trouble generation lamp of a calling indication device comes ON, only by the pressing of the transparent touch panel 12a in the lower part from the front surface of a glass plate 9 by a player, and a hall manager can be called. Further, after the release of the trouble, the trouble generation lamp 11 in turned-ON state can be put OFF by the pushing of the transparent touch panel in the upper part by fingers by the hall manager.

Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to a pachinko machine with a new configuration that allows a call display to be made in the event of a trouble by touching the glass plate on the front of the game board. It is something.

[Prior Art] Conventionally, in pachinko game parlors, a call display device with a push button is attached to each pachinko machine, and one call display device is attached to the curtain plate above the pachinko machine installation island. If a problem occurs, such as the ball getting stuck between the nails on the board or the prize edge not being ejected, the player presses a push button on the call display device to display the call display and call the hall staff. ing.

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] However, in the past, there was an inconvenience in that when pressing a push button on a call display device, the push button could not be reached while sitting on a chair, and the user had to stand up each time. Also,
There was a problem in that the players were easily susceptible to damage caused by the push button switches being torn off by players who had lost the game.

The present invention has a new configuration that is completely different from conventional technology.
The purpose of the present invention is to provide a pachinko machine that can easily display a call while sitting on a chair.

[Means for Solving the Problems] In order to achieve the above object, the pachinko machine of the present invention has a transparent plate that acts as a switch when pressed with a finger on the outer surface of a glass plate attached to the front of the game board. Install a touch panel. The transparent touch panel is connected to a call display device, which is fixed to a curtain board at the top of the pachinko machine installation island and attached to each pachinko machine, by an electric circuit.

[Function] In the pachinko machine configured as described above, when the transparent touch panel attached to the outer surface of the glass plate is pressed with a finger, it acts as a switch, and the signal is sent to the call display device fixed to the curtain above the pachinko machine. A call indication such as lighting of a lamp is performed.

[Embodiments] Examples of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. 1st
In the figure, 1 is a pachinko machine installation island, 2 is a pachinko machine installed horizontally in parallel, and 3 is fixed to a curtain plate 4 at the top of the pachinko machine installation island 1, and one is attached to each pachinko machine 2. This is a call display device.

As is well known, the pachinko machine 2 has a front frame 6 attached to the front side of a side frame 5 so as to be openable and closable. A glass frame 7 is attached to the front of the front frame 6 so as to be openable and closable.

A game board 8 is removably attached to the back surface of the front frame 6.

Two glass plates 9 are attached to the glass frame 7 at an appropriate distance from each other so as to cover the front surface of the game board 8.

The call display device 3 has a transparent cover 10 on the front side,
A trouble occurrence lamp 11 is provided inside the game board for calling a hall attendant in the event of a trouble such as a ball not stopping on the game board.

However, in the present invention, the front glass plate 9 provided on the glass frame 7 of the pachinko machine 2. Transparent touch panels 12a and 12b are disposed on the outer surface of the screen and at the upper and lower left sides thereof. The transparent touch panels 12a, 12b are connected to each other via a spacer 13 as shown in FIGS. 2 and 3.
The upper and lower transparent conductive films 14 and 15 are separated by placing the transparent conductive films 14 and 15 of the layers facing each other and pressing them with your fingers.
conducts and outputs a signal. The upper and lower transparent touch panels 12a are arranged so that the trouble occurrence lamp 11 is turned on by the output signal from the lower transparent touch panel 12a, and the trouble occurrence lamp 11 which is in the lit state is turned off by the output signal from the upper transparent touch panel 12b. 12b and the call display device 3 are connected by an electric circuit.In this embodiment, the transparent touch panels 12a, 1
A display sheet 16 is provided on the surface of 2b.

A holding plate 17 is provided on the back surface, and the holding plate 17 is attached to the glass plate 9 for use. Further, although not shown in the drawings, it is desirable to display appropriate pictures and characters on the display sheet 16 so that the players can understand them.

The present invention has the above-mentioned configuration, and if a problem such as the ball not stopping occurs during the game, the player can simply press the lower transparent touch panel 12a from the front of the glass plate 9 with his/her finger to display the call display device 3. The trouble occurrence lamp 11 lights up,
You can call the hall staff. In addition, after resolving the trouble, the hall staff will touch the upper transparent touch panel 12b.
By pressing with three fingers, the trouble occurrence lamp 11 that is in the lit state can be turned off.

[Effects of the Invention] As described above, according to the present invention, a transparent touch panel is provided on the front glass plate of a pachinko machine, and by pressing the transparent touch panel with a finger, a call display device can display a call. When a problem occurs, a player can easily call a hall attendant while sitting on a chair. Furthermore, since the pushbutton switch can be eliminated from the call display device, there is less fear that it will be damaged by mischief, and the call display device can be changed from a conventional image to a novel one. Furthermore, it is possible to provide a pachinko machine with a novel configuration that has never been seen before.
