There is. However, the above-mentioned triangular reinforcing material only increases the assembly strength of the vertical stile and horizontal stile, but does not protect the decorative board attached to the surface. During the manufacturing process or transportation of the front frame covered with this decorative board, the corners may come into contact with or be bumped against.
Or, when the front frame is assembled to the pachinko machine, the pachinko machine is not treated with care like furniture, but is handled roughly during loading and unloading during transportation, so the area near the corner of the front frame is Not only can this damage or damage the decorative board, but it can also often cause cracks to appear in the decorative board. Also,
The decorative board is simply pasted onto the front frame, so
The adhesive is easily affected by the state of application of the adhesive to the surface of the front frame, and even a slight contact may cause it to peel off from the corner, especially at the periphery of the front frame. Then, there are cases where the front frame, which has been damaged or damaged as described above, has no value as a product and must be discarded.

On the other hand, in pachinko parlors, the front frame is frequently opened and closed for maintenance and adjustment of the back mechanism of the machine, so at this time, the staff's hands touch the top and bottom corners of the front frame surface, especially on the free end side. This opening/closing operation can also damage the corners of the decorative board or cause the edges of the decorative board to peel off.A front frame with damaged corners is unsightly and detracts from the aesthetics of the pachinko game. Therefore, it is desirable to develop a durable and strong front frame for decorative laminates.

<Means for Solving the Problems> The present invention was proposed in view of the above.The front of a pachinko machine has a decorative board attached to the front and one side is hinged to the machine frame so that it can be opened and closed. In the frame, at the upper and lower corners of the free end side of the front frame, a cut consisting of a side cut part by cutting off the outer part of the front frame and a rear cut part by cutting off the rear surface of the front frame. A protective frame body having a front protection surface on the front edge of the side plate part and a rear face part on the rear edge of the side plate part is attached to the upper and lower corners, and the front frame to which the decorative board is attached. The corners of the surface of the protective frame are covered with the front protective surface of the protective frame, and the side plate part of the protective frame is placed in the side notch of the notch, and the rear part of the protective frame is placed in the notch. It is positioned within the rear notch of the section.

<Function> According to the present invention having the above configuration, the protective frame provided at the upper and lower corners of the free end side of the front frame prevents peeling, breakage, and damage in the decorative board stuck to the surface of the front frame. It is possible to reliably fix and protect corners that are easily damaged, and the protective frame body can be provided without protruding from the outer surface of the corner of the front frame, so that it does not get caught when opening and closing the front frame. It doesn't get in the way.
