Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a lamp indicator for a pachinko machine mounted on the upper front part of the front frame of the pachinko machine.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, a pachinko machine provided on the front upper part of a front frame of a pachinko machine and flashing when a special winning state (big hit state) is reached in a pachinko game so as to enhance the surrounding atmosphere and the game effect. Lamp indicators are known. As is well known, this lamp indicator is constructed by attaching a translucent lens cover to the front surface of a horizontally long body base to form a hollow shape, and arranging a lamp in the hollow portion.

[0003]

By the way, most of the conventional lamp indicators are standardized and lacking in novelty, and the lamps are simply blinked, so that they are not so conspicuous. The current situation is that the objective has not been fully achieved. Further, when the number of lamps is increased in order to increase the brightness, there is a problem that the body base and the lens cover are deformed by the heat. The present invention has been made in view of such problems of the prior art, and an object thereof is to enlarge the entire shape to change the image of the pachinko machine, especially the front surface thereof, and to display a plurality of neon fluorescent lights. The present invention intends to provide a lamp display device for a pachinko machine, in which the tube is made to blink and a novel and high decorative effect that has never been obtained can be obtained.

[0004]

In order to achieve the above object, the lamp indicator of the pachinko machine of the present invention is formed to have substantially the same size as the upper side portion of the front frame located above the glass frame. With a translucent lens cover on the front,
It is configured such that a plurality of neon fluorescent tubes are provided in the hollow portion and the neon fluorescent tubes are blinked to enhance the game effect.

[0005]

In the pachinko game, when a special winning state occurs, by blinking a plurality of neon fluorescent tubes, the special winning state can be more effectively impressed to the player. In addition, since the upper part of the front surface of the front frame of the pachinko machine is decorated with lightning over a wide range, it is possible to obtain a very conspicuous and sufficient satisfaction to the surroundings and to give a strong impact to other players.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a front view of a pachinko machine equipped with a lamp display according to the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a perspective view of a portion where the lamp display is installed. The pachinko machine 1 has a front frame 3 on the front of the side frame 2.
Is attached so that it can be opened and closed freely. A glass frame 4 is openably and closably mounted on the front surface of the front frame 3, and a lamp indicator 5 according to an embodiment of the present invention is attached to the front surface of the front frame 3 located above the glass frame 4.

The lamp indicator 5 is mounted on the front surface of the main body base 6 and a main body base 6 formed in a rectangular shape having substantially the same size as the upper side portion of the front surface frame 3 located above the glass frame 4. It is formed in a hollow shape by a light-transmitting lens cover 7 and has a plurality of neon fluorescent tubes 8 which are turned on in an appropriate color such as red or blue and are arranged at appropriate intervals in the internal space. As shown in FIG. 3, the plurality of neon fluorescent tubes 8 are mounted on the front surface of the main body base 6 while being supported by a socket 9 containing a lighting device (not shown).
Then, the plurality of neon fluorescent tubes 8 are controlled to be lit based on the control circuit, for example, when the gaming state becomes the special winning state. It should be noted that the lens cover 7 is colored in an appropriate color, and it is desirable to apply an appropriate light-expanding means such as a diamond cut to the inner surface thereof. Further, the lens cover 7 is formed of a milky white translucent material such as acrylic. However, an appropriate pattern or painting may be applied to the surface to enhance the decorative effect.

The lamp indicator 5 having such a structure is
Since it is attached to the entire upper side of the front frame 3 located above the glass frame 4, the image of the conventional pachinko machine can be changed drastically. Then, when the pachinko game enters the special winning state (big hit state), the signal is sent to the control circuit to blink the plurality of neon fluorescent tubes 8.
As a result, the entire upper side of the front frame 3 of the pachinko machine 1 is brightly illuminated, and the gorgeousness can be further enhanced as compared with the conventional lamp display, and the occurrence of the special prize state is generated by many surrounding players. Can be strongly impressed, and the willingness to play can be significantly improved.

Further, when each pachinko machine 1 is installed on a pachinko machine installation island as shown in FIG. 4, since the lamp indicators 5 attached to each pachinko machine 1 are continuous in a line, the pachinko machine 1 The entire atmosphere of the installation island can be made gorgeous, and the image of the game store can be greatly improved.

Furthermore, if a plurality of neon fluorescent tubes 8 are arranged, for example, every other one with different colors such as red or blue, and they are made to blink in order, or if the same color is made to blink alternately, the lightning decoration is further enhanced. The effect can be enhanced. Also,
If the plurality of neon fluorescent tubes 8 are made to blink in order from both ends to the center or from the center to both ends, the lightning decoration effect is further enhanced.

[0011]

Since the present invention is constructed as described above, it has the following effects. The image of the conventional pachinko machine is greatly improved by forming the lamp indicator mounted on the upper front of the front frame of the pachinko machine to be approximately the same size as the upper side of the front frame located at the top of the glass door frame. Can be changed. Then, by arranging a plurality of neon fluorescent tubes in place of the lamp in the hollow portion and blinking the plurality of neon fluorescent tubes in accordance with the occurrence of the special winning state, the entire upper side of the front frame is illuminated brightly. It is possible to further enhance the gorgeousness, and also to strongly impress many surrounding players with the occurrence of the special winning state. Further, neon fluorescent tubes are safer because they do not generate heat as compared with lamps and the like, and since there are no color restrictions, various lightning decoration effects can be obtained. Furthermore, when pachinko machines are installed on the pachinko machine installation islands, the lamp indicators installed on each pachinko machine will be continuous in a line, making it possible to make the entire atmosphere of the pachinko machine installation island gorgeous. ..
