Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Application Field] The present invention relates to an improved glass plate mounting frame for a pachinko machine for mounting a glass plate covering the front surface of a game board.

[Conventional technology]

As is known, a pachinko machine covers the front of the game board with a glass plate to prevent the shot balls from flying out, and at the same time to prevent the various winning devices on the game board from being tampered with.

Usually, this glass plate is made into a double glass plate, inside and outside, and is placed in a metal door (usually called a glass frame or simply called a metal frame) with a space between the front and back, and the glass frame is closed. In some cases, it covers the front of the game board.

The glass frame is sized to cover approximately the entire surface of the game board, and the frame itself is slender so that the glass board can occupy a wider area, and the display provided on the periphery of the game board A group of lamps can be seen through the glass.

[Problem that the invention attempts to solve]

In this way, conventional pachinko machines have large glass frames that allow the entire surface of the game board to be exposed. and a lamp that indicates the lack of stored prize balls in the storage tank,
The display lamps indicating that the game has stopped can be seen, but the fact that these display lamps are placed on the game board and come into view along with the winning devices puts a great strain on the eyesight of the players and can be played for long periods of time. This will hinder the player's ability to play the game and reduce interest in the game.

In addition, in the case of so-called separate pachinko machines, where the game board can be separated and replaced with a different one, the provision of various display lamps on the game board is not limited to just replacing the game part. Moreover, the display lamp group had to be replaced and discarded at the same time, which was very disadvantageous from an economic point of view.

[Means for solving problems]

The present invention was devised in view of the above-mentioned drawbacks of the conventional game board, and the glass frame that covers the front of the game board is improved, and a group of display lamps that were installed on the game board are installed on the surface of this glass frame. These display lamps can be moved away from the eyes of those watching the game board, alleviating eye fatigue caused by the flashing lights, and increasing concentration on the game. The present invention relates to a pachinko machine characterized by preventing parts from being replaced or discarded.

That is, in order to achieve the above object, the present invention is characterized by improving the glass frame hinged to the front of the pachinko machine.To explain this in more detail, this invention has a window in the center. A frame plate is extended rearward from the periphery of the front plate tilted forward to form a housing-shaped mounting frame body, and an outer glass plate is fitted to the window of this body to close the opening, and the outer glass plate is A decorative frame having the required depth and width and adapted to the shape of the opening of the window is fixed behind the plate, and the inner glass plate is fixed oppositely through the decorative frame, while the inner glass plate is fixed oppositely to the front plate. It is an object of the present invention to provide a glass plate mounting frame for a pachinko machine, characterized in that indicator lamps are appropriately arranged on the periphery so as to surround a window.

Therefore, in the present invention, instead of the display lamp provided on the game board, this display lamp is installed on the front plate part of the glass plate mounting frame, which is a glass frame, so that it can be kept away from the game section to be monitored. Also, by separating it from the game board, it will not be discarded when replacing the game board.

The machine frame body 1 is constructed of a vertically long rectangular frame made of plate materials, and a door frame 2 hinged to one edge of the front side is formed into a picture frame shape with a large opening 4 in the center. A housing-shaped mechanism frame 6 formed of a metal plate is fixed to the back side of the picture frame, and a game board 7 is housed inside the frame that is open toward the opening 4.

Reference numeral 8 denotes a cradle fixed inside the mechanism frame to receive the above-mentioned game board 7, and on the front side of this pedestal are attached a firing rail 9 for guiding the fired balls to the game section on the front side of the game board, a fur ball guiding path 10, etc. In addition, on the back side of the mechanism frame 6 that houses this game board, there is a tank for storing prize balls, a prize ball device for discharging prize balls, a safe ball guidance chamber for receiving safe balls, and the above-mentioned system for detecting safe balls. Devices 11 necessary for various pachinko machines, such as a safe ball detection device that causes the winning ball device to perform an opening operation, are installed.

Reference numeral 12 denotes a lower prize ball tray attached to the lower front surface, and on this lower front surface there are operating grips 13 for firing batted balls;
A motor 14 equipped with a launcher for shooting balls is installed on the back side.

The front frame plate 5 is provided with an upper prize ball receiving tray 15 on the front side, and a batted ball feeding device is installed on the back side for feeding the balls sent from the receiving tray one by one to the tip of the launching punch.

Now, the glass plate mounting frame 3 is composed of a front plate 3a as a main body, two glass plates 16 and 17 inside and outside, and a decorative frame 18 that separates the glass plates from front to back.In this embodiment, the front plate 3a is Make it approximately square and make the upper part stick out toward you so that it is tilted forward,
A frame plate 3b extends rearward from the four sides to form a substantially housing shape.

This housing-shaped glass plate mounting frame has a circular window 19 in the center of the front plate 3a, and an outer glass plate 17 is attached from behind this window and fixed with a clip 20 to close it. An inner glass plate 16 is provided opposite to the rear via a decorative frame 18.

As shown in the figure, in this embodiment, the decorative frame 18 has a circular cylindrical shape that follows the shape of the window 19, and also has a tapered shape that expands in diameter toward the front, and has a cylindrical shape with a deep upper part and a shallow lower part. The rear edge is aligned with one vertical plane so that the inner glass plate 16 is brought into contact with the rear edge and fixed.

This decorative frame 18 is provided so as to protrude further rearward than the frame plate 3b extending from the periphery of the front plate 3a, so that it can fit inside the opening 4 of the door frame 2 when the glass plate mounting frame is closed. An inner glass plate 16 attached to the rear edge of the game board 7 allows a close view of injury nails, prize winning devices, firing guide rails 21, etc. (not shown) installed on the front surface of the game board 7.

Essentially, one side edge of the glass plate mounting frame is hinged to one of the auxiliary frames as a scaffold, and the glass plate mounting frame is attached so that it can be opened and closed freely.

The row of display lamps 24 includes lamps to display winnings, lamps to display out of balls in the storage tank, lamps to display when the game is in progress, etc., and a part of the large number of display lamps 24 is allocated to these display lamps. . For example, the rows of lamps on the left and right sides of the window 19 can be assigned to display winnings, and the row of lamps at the top can be assigned to display out of balls or game completion, or only the upper display lamps can be divided and displayed for each display. This can replace the conventional display lamps provided on the peripheral edge of the game board.

In this case, if the display lamps are color-coded, for example, the winning display lamp is red, and the bulb out display lamp is blue, the display becomes clearer and more effective as a decoration.

The material of the decorative frame 18 is not particularly limited, but if it is made of translucent synthetic resin and a lighting lamp is installed behind it, it will be effective for illuminating the game board, and will also be more decorative than conventional pachinko machines. It is possible to point out some remarkable effects that have never existed before.

[Effect of idea]

The present invention is constructed as described above, and during the game, only the central gaming section of the gaming board can be seen, and since this gaming section is seen through the decorative frame with depth, the player has no visibility. This automatically limits the user's concentration on the game, and the display lamps, etc. that were conventionally installed around the game area have been moved to the front of the glass plate mounting frame.
Since the player is removed from the visual range that monitors the game, eye fatigue is alleviated accordingly.

Of course, since the game board located at the back can be seen through the deep decorative frame, the pachinko machine has the advantage of being three-dimensional and increasing the enjoyment of the game compared to conventional pachinko machines.

On the other hand, in the present invention, since the outer glass plate attached to the front panel is tilted forward in accordance with this inclination, the lighting light installed on the ceiling of the hall is reflected in the eyes of the players who are sitting opposite to the front of the game board. This has a great effect in alleviating the feeling of fatigue, and furthermore, since these are not reflected on the glass surface, the game board surface can be seen easily and clearly.

In the present invention, instead of the game board, a group of display lamps is provided in front of the glass plate mounting frame, and in exchange for being removed from direct view, it decorates the front of the pachinko machine, which improves the design. There is an advantage that the effect is increased and furthermore, the display lamp can be arranged freely over a wide range over the entire surface of the front plate of the mounting frame.

Of course, during implementation, wiring for the group of display lamps provided on the front of the glass plate mounting frame can be easily attached in accordance with the selection of lamps, etc., since a large space is secured behind the front plate. It's summery.
