[Prior Art]

 As is well known, in a pachinko machine, the front frame is freely hinged to the machine frame main body, the game plate is fixed to the mechanism plate provided behind the front frame, and the front face of the game plate is opened from the opening of the front frame. On the other hand, the ball hit toward the game board falls along the board surface while the player can peek, and the hit ball is manipulated illegally or the prize winning device of the game board is manipulated illegally. To prevent this, a glass frame is attached to the opening. Normally, the glass frame is composed of a mounting metal frame and a glass mounting metal frame that is hinged to one side edge of this mounting metal frame and can be freely opened and closed.The mounting metal frame is fitted to the opening of the front frame. The mounting metal frame can be freely opened and closed by screwing with a screw, and the plate glass to be mounted is attached to the front of the game board by closing the mounting metal frame so that it can be seen through. It can be coated. Generally, two glass plates are mounted in parallel on the glass mounting metal frame in parallel with a slight gap in the front and back, and a structure that prevents fraudulent acts from the outside is adopted, but in both cases, it is mounted here. The transparent glass is used as the glass, and the front of the game board can be seen through. In particular, since the falling state of the hit ball and the operating state of the winning device are important for the player to achieve the winning effect, it is indispensable to observe the game board surface, and it is natural to use transparent glass. Is becoming

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 Under such circumstances, the display at the time of winning tends to be strange due to the recent increase in size of the winning device and the complicated operation. In particular, the blinking of the display lamps can be directly transmitted to the player visually and the winning status can be expressed to other players. Is being done. However, such an increase in the size of the display lamp increases the visual fatigue of the player, and if the game is enthusiastic and played for a long time, it has a great adverse effect. In particular, recent pachinko machines use electric launching means to enable long-term game play, which may cause eye fatigue and blindness without knowing it. ..

[Means for solving problems]

 The present invention has been devised in order to improve the conventional problems in view of these problems, and the transparent plate glass that covers the front surface of the game plate is replaced with a semi-transparent plate glass, or a transparent plate glass is semi-transparent. The semi-transparent glass plate or film shields or absorbs part of the light from the prize lamp display lamps and lighting lamps, and the large amount of light is displayed directly on the player's eyes and the illumination light This is because I tried to prevent it from entering.

The above-mentioned translucent plate glass may be carried out on two plate glasses attached to the glass mounting metal frame, but either one of the front and rear plate glasses may be a translucent plate glass. In the case of using a semi-transparent film, directly attach this film to the transparent glass plate and put it in a semi-transparent state. The plate glass may be in a semitransparent state.

According to the present invention, as described above, the transparent plate glass that covers the front surface of the game plate is made into a semitransparent plate glass, or a translucent film is attached to make it into a semitransparent state. This is to block and absorb some of the light from the display lamps and lighting lamps that are used to reduce the amount of light that enters the eyes of the player and weaken the stimulus. In addition, it may be made semi-transparent only on the front part equipped with the indicator lamp and the illumination lamp. Gaming boards are generally decorated by showing colors and patterns on the board surface, and it is designed so that the game can be enjoyed by the player.Therefore, covering the entire surface with translucent glass will reduce these decorative effects. become. The reduction of the effect in this case is determined by the transparency ratio, but since the game board surface other than the installation place of the display lamp etc. is not related to the blinking of the lamp, there is no problem to expose the decorated surface as it is. It is effective to absorb and reduce the light only in the area where the display lamp is installed. The transparent plate glass can be made semitransparent by using a colored plate glass or a colored film. In addition, as a result of experiments through use in this case, it was found that a sufficient effect can be obtained when the light transmittance of the semitransparent plate glass or film is about 75 to 80%. Next, the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the illustrated embodiments, and other features will be described together.

 FIG. 1 is a front view of an embodiment of the present invention in use, and FIG. 2 is a partially cutaway cross-sectional plan view showing an enlarged main part of FIG. In the drawings, 1 is a pachinko machine, a front frame that is hinged to one side edge of a main frame 2 via a hinge 3 and 4 is fitted into an opening 5 of the front frame 1 and is housed inside the main frame 2. It is a glass frame according to the present invention that covers the entire surface of the game board 6.

The front frame 1 has a substantially frame shape, and has a shallow casing-shaped mechanism plate 7 on the back surface, and a game plate 6 brought through the opening 5 is housed inside the mechanism plate. Then, a prize ball lower plate 8 and a driving operation grip 9 for a ball hitting launcher provided on the back surface are provided on the entire lower surface.

The glass frame 4 is composed of a rectangular mounting metal frame 4 a and a glass mounting metal frame 4 b, and further, a front plate 4 c having a prize ball upper plate 10 is incorporated therein. The mounting metal frame 4a is formed in a vertically long rectangular frame that fits into the opening 5 of the front frame, and the brim 11 protruding outward from the peripheral edge is attached to the front surface of the front frame and folded back to the inner periphery. The frame portion 12 is fitted into the inner periphery of the opening 5 and fixed integrally by screwing a screw 13.

On the other hand, the glass mounting metal frame 4b is fitted in the inner periphery of the mounting metal frame 4a side by side with the front plate 4c. Both of these both have one side edge (left side edge) projected into the pocket of the corresponding frame portion 12 of the mounting metal frame 4a, and are pivotally attached to the pivot shaft 14 that passes vertically inside the pocket to open and close freely. It is attached. Further, the mounting metal frame 4b having a substantially square shape is provided with glass mounting grooves 15 having a W-shaped cross section on the inner peripheral edges of the three sides excluding the upper edge portion. 16 and 17 are dropped, and they are mounted with a required space between them. The front plate 4c is provided with a prize ball upper plate 10 on the front surface, and a ball hitting supply device (not shown) is attached to the back face for guiding balls supplied from the upper plate toward the ball hitting device one by one. ..

Now, of the two plate glasses 16 and 17 fitted into the glass mounting metal frame 4b, a colored and translucent plate glass is used for the front plate glass 16 and the rear plate glass 17 is the same as before. Transparent glass is used. In this embodiment, the translucent plate gas 16 is covered with a bronze colored plate glass having a visible light transmittance of about 74% so as to cover the front surface of the game plate 6.

The game board 6 is designed so that almost the entire front surface except the peripheral portion can be seen through the glass-fitted metal frame 4b, and a display lamp and a digital display device are provided at the center of the game section 20 surrounded by the band 19. A large prize winning device 21 is provided, and a lamp case 22 for displaying a prize and a lamp case 23 for indicating a stop of the game are attached to both corners of the upper part so as to occupy each corner. Besides, the windmill 24 for changing the direction of the falling ball and the tulip type winning device 25 are equipped with a lamp for lighting and a lamp for winning display, respectively, and are designed to blink.

On the other hand, FIGS. 3 and 4 show another embodiment of the glass frame of the present invention constructed as described above. FIG. 3 shows an example in which only the portion of the transparent plate glass 26 corresponding to the front surface of the large-sized winning device 21 with the highest light amount of the display lamp is colored to form the semi-transparent portion 27. FIG. Instead, another embodiment is shown in which a colored translucent film 28 is attached to the back surface of the front transparent plate glass 26 and the translucent treatment is applied thereto.

The second embodiment shown in FIG. 3 described above achieves the object of the present invention by performing semitransparent processing only on a portion having a high light amount without performing semitransparent processing on the entire surface of the plate glass covering the game board 6. For other parts, the pattern for decoration is exposed as it is to avoid the reduction of the decoration effect by the translucent treatment.

On the other hand, in the third embodiment shown in FIG. 4, as described above, the semi-transparent film 28 is integrally attached to the back surface of the transparent plate glass 26 at the front side so as to be subjected to the semi-transparent treatment. In the example, the glass frame of a conventional pachinko machine that is commercially available can be used as it is.

Although the case where the semitransparent film 28 is attached to the front transparent glass plate 26 has been described here, the same effect can be obtained even if the semitransparent film is attached to the rear glass plate 17. Further, the film 28 may be inserted into a space 29 formed between the front and rear plate glasses 26 and 17 so as to block a part of light of a display lamp or the like. The use of the semi-transparent film 28 is advantageous in that it can be carried out on a pre-manufactured pachinko machine without requiring any special modification, and has an advantage that it can be carried out easily and at low cost. The semi-transparent film is particularly advantageous in the case where the semi-transparent treatment is performed partially as described in the second embodiment, and further, the light amount of the display lamp and the like is accompanied by the replacement of the game board. Is advantageous because it can be easily changed to a suitable state by replacing it with a film having a different transparency.
