(Example) The present invention will be explained below with reference to drawings of embodiments.

In the embodiment shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, a holding member 4 for holding a ball detection main body 3 is integrally formed on a set plate 2 attached to the back surface of a game board 1.

As is well known, the set board 2 is a synthetic resin board that covers most of the back surface of the game board 1, and is a ball flow gutter (not shown) that guides the batted balls that enter other winning devices such as the so-called tulip. This is for installing a micro switch for ball detection, an electromagnetic solenoid, and their wiring terminals. In order to form the holding member 3 on the set plate 2, an insertion hole 4 slightly larger than the ball detection body 3 is opened in the flat part of the set plate 2.
From the edge of the insertion hole 4 to the front, there is an upper surface portion 5 whose first half is open, left and right side portions 6, 6, and both side portions 6, 6.
A rectangular frame-shaped front holding member 8 consisting of a front part 7 connecting the front ends of the front holding member 8 is extended. The side surfaces 6, 6 of the front holding member 8 are provided with fastening portions 9, 9 in the form of through holes.
It is formed at a position spaced apart from the surface of the set plate 2 by the thickness of the game board 1. Further, on the back side of the set plate 2, plate-shaped rear holding members 10, 10 are provided extending rearward from the left and right edges of the insertion hole 4 on the same plane as the side parts 6, 6, and the rear holding members Arrow-shaped locking portions 13, 13 consisting of an inclined surface 11 and a locking step portion 12 are formed at the tips of the screws 10, 10. Note that the distance between the front part 7 of the front holding member 8 and the locking step part 12 of the rear holding member 10 is made to be very slightly longer than the front-to-back length of the ball detection main body 3.

Ball detection main body 3 held by such a holding member 4
In this case, electrically opening/closing contacts (not shown) are provided inside a substantially rectangular parallelepiped case 14, a ball passage 15 is formed, and a tongue-like switch actuating member 16 of the contact is placed in the ball passage 15. It faces forward, and has contact terminals 17 protruding from the back. The ball detection main body 3 shown in the drawing has a ball inlet 18 on the upper surface of the front end portion and a ball outlet 19 on the back side in order to cause winning batted balls to flow out to the back side of the game board 1.

In order to attach the ball detection main body 3 constructed in this way to the set plate 2, the front end of the ball detection main body 3 should be exposed between the locking parts 13, 13 of the rear holding members 10, 10, and in this state, the insertion hole 4 should be Press towards. When the ball detection main body 3 is pressed, the rear holding members 10 are bent outward due to the action of the inclined surfaces 11 of the locking portions 13.
The ball detection main body 3 can be inserted into the insertion hole 4 of the set plate 2. Then, when the ball detection main body 3 is further pressed and moved forward, the front surface of the ball detection main body 3 comes into contact with the front surface part 7 of the front holding member 8, and the rear holding member 10 is restored straight due to elasticity and the locking portion A locking stepped portion 12 of 13 locks to a rear end corner portion of the case 14. Therefore, the front and back positions of the ball detection main body 3 are regulated by the front part 7 and the locking part 13,
The ball inlet 18 is located at the upper opening portion 5' of the front holding member 8.
It will fit into the specified position when opening. After fitting the ball detection main body 3 to the setting plate 2 in this way,
One end of the lead wire (not shown) is connected to the terminal 17 of the ball detection main body 3, and the other end of the lead wire (not shown) is connected to a wiring terminal provided on the back side of the setting plate 2, and the middle of the lead wire is connected to the setting plate. It is preferable to use the wire holder shown in No. 2 to secure the wire.

In order to attach the above-mentioned set plate 2 to the back side of the game board 1, it is fixed using staples or the like in the conventional manner, but when attaching this set plate 2,
A front holding member 8 and a ball detection body 3 are passed through a through hole 19 formed in the game board 1 from the back side of the game board 1. When the set plate 2 is attached in this manner, the ball inlet 18 of the ball detection main body 3 is located on the front side of the game board 1, so that it functions as a winning tool.

However, if this continues, a gap will remain between the periphery of the through hole 19 of the game board 1 and the prize winning tool. Therefore, in the present invention, by fixing the decorative body 20 from the front side of the game board 1, the above-mentioned gap is closed and the decorative effect is enhanced.

The decorative body 20 has an open top frame 23 large enough to accommodate the front part of the front holding member 8 on the surface of a cover plate 22 that has an opening 21 large enough to accommodate the front holding member 8. A claw-like engagement part 26 is formed at the rear end of an elastic part 25 formed by making slits 24 in the frame 23 and the cover plate 22, and a front plate 27 is formed at the corner of the frame 23. A locking hole 29 for locking the locking claw 28 is provided.

Therefore, when the front plate 27 is strongly pressed against the front surface of the frame 23, the retaining claws 28... are engaged with the retaining holes 29...
It locks into place, so it can be easily fixed.
In order to fix the decorative body 20 assembled in this way to the front holding member 8, the front part of the front holding member 8 protruding from the surface of the game board 1 is passed through the opening 21 of the cover plate 22. In the state, the decoration body 20 is placed on the game board 1.
The engaging parts 26, 26 of the decorative body 20 are engaged with the hole-shaped fastening parts 9, 9 of the front holding member 8.

When the decorative body 20 is fixed to the front holding member 8 protruding from the surface of the game board 1 in this way, the game board 1
The gap between the through holes 19 can be covered by the cover plate 22 located on the front side of the machine, and the winning gear can be decorated with decorative patterns on the surface of the cover plate 22 and the front decorative plate 27.

In addition, there is a front plate 27 with different decorative patterns and designs...
By preparing a plurality of prize winning tools, it is possible to change the decoration of the prize winning tool by simply replacing the front plate 27.

The winning device attached as described above accepts the batted ball flowing down on the game board surface from the ball inlet 18 into the ball passage 15, and the batted ball flows out from the ball outlet 19 as a winning ball on the back side of the game board 1. In the meantime, the switch operating member 16 pressed by the batted ball
The winning of the batted ball can be electrically detected by the contact between the ball and the ball.

Note that when a ball detection main body (not shown) that penetrates the ball passage 15 vertically is fitted, the ball outlet 19 opens on the front side of the game board 1, so that the ball that enters the ball entrance 18 can be electrically detected. After that, the hit ball can be caused to flow down onto the game board surface as a game ball. Therefore, it can be used as a so-called passing chaser.

(Effects of the invention) As explained above, according to the invention, a holding member is formed on the set plate that is always attached to the back of the game board, and the ball detection body is held by the holding member, so that the set plate can be used for playing games. Winning equipment can be placed at a predetermined position on the game board simply by fixing it to the back of the board. By simply engaging and fixing the decoration to the holding member protruding from the surface of the game board, the gap between the through holes of the game board can be covered and hidden.

Therefore, there is no need to perform the positioning work and the screwing in of wood screws that were conventionally done for each winning tool, which greatly simplifies the assembly work of pachinko machines, streamlining work and improving quality. Contributes to uniformity.

Furthermore, according to the present invention, the wiring work between the ball detection body and the wiring terminal can be performed in advance before attaching the set board to the game board, so the efficiency of the assembly work can be improved.

Further, according to the present invention, since the ball detection body can be removed from the back side of the game board, the ball detection body can be easily replaced at a pachinko parlor.
