Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a pachinko machine, and in more detail, it corresponds to a device provided for a game on a game board, for example, a variable display device or a winning ball device, and the back side of the game board. The present invention relates to a pachinko machine having a cover member provided in.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, in a game area of a game board, a winning display, a winning ball device, a variable winning ball device, etc. (hereinafter collectively referred to as a winning ball device), a variable display device such as a rotating drum device, etc. A device (hereinafter referred to as a game device) provided for a game such as is provided. The winning balls won in these winning ball devices are brought to a predetermined path by a ball gathering plate formed on a cover member provided on the back side of the game board. In this case, the ball gathering plate is formed on a mechanism plate which is attached to the back side of the game board so as to be openable and closable. In addition, recently the rotating drum device and various winning ball devices have become larger and the depth length is more than 10 cm,
When using a conventional mechanism plate, make a hole in the mechanism plate,
Or, a concave portion had to be formed. As such a pachinko machine, there is Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 57-20236.

[0003]

When the prize winning ball device, the rotating drum device, etc. become large in size and project to the back side of the game board, a prize ball tank or other pachinko ball falls from an unexpected place on the projecting part. In this case, these pachinko balls collide with various wirings, solenoids, link mechanisms, and the like, which adversely affects malfunctions and the like. Also, when a large concave portion is formed on the mechanism plate to serve also as a cover, it is difficult to form the mechanism plate, and when the rotating drum device or the winning ball device is changed, the protrusion portion is changed. It had to be changed, and it was extremely economically inefficient. Further, there is a possibility that the rearward projecting portion of the winning ball device may be damaged due to a collision or the like during manufacturing, transportation, or replacement work of the game board. The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and an object of the present invention is to protect the rear protruding portion of the gaming device safely and reliably, and to prevent the rear protruding portion from changing when the gaming device is changed. It is to provide a pachinko machine that can be easily dealt with.

[0004]

In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, in the present invention, a first cover member disposed between the back surface of the game board and the mechanism plate and attached to the back surface of the game board. A second cover member that is detachably provided to the first cover member and that covers a device used for a game that protrudes to the back surface side of the game board, and the mechanism plate includes at least the second cover member. An opening is formed at a location corresponding to the second cover member.

[0005]

[Function] The second portion is the protruding portion of the game device that protrudes to the back surface side of the game board during manufacturing or transportation of a pachinko ball or game board that has dropped from a prize ball tank or other unexpected place, or during replacement work. Since the cover member can effectively protect and the second cover member is detachably attached to the first cover member, each cover member can be molded separately. , Can be easily formed. Furthermore, since the second cover member is configured to penetrate the opening formed in the mechanism plate, there is no need to process the mechanism plate or newly change it.
It is possible to easily cope with a change in the rearward protruding portion of the gaming device.

As described above, in the pachinko machine 1 according to the present embodiment, the back side of the game device provided on the game board 5 is covered with the first cover member 54 and the second cover member 57, so that the prize is given. The second cover is the protruding portion of the game device that protrudes to the back side of the game board when manufacturing or transporting the pachinko balls or the game board 5 that have dropped from the ball storage tank 33 or other unexpected places, or during replacement work. The member 57 enables effective protection. Further, since the second cover member 57 is detachably attached to the first cover member 54, the respective cover members 54 and 57 may be molded separately, so that they can be easily formed. it can. In addition, the second cover member 57 allows the opening 32 of the mechanism plate 32 to cope with a change in the rearward protrusion due to a change in the game device.
Since it is configured to penetrate through a, the second cover member 57 is changed or the first cover member 5 is changed as necessary.
4 and the second cover member 57 can be easily changed. In addition, the second cover member 57 is detachably provided to the first cover member 54, so that the second cover member 57 can be easily and quickly removed when inspecting or repairing the game device. Various work can be performed, and the second cover member 57 can be easily attached after the work is completed. Further, as compared with the case where the first cover member and the second cover member are integrally formed,
By removing the cover member 57, the wiring extending from the gaming device can be easily guided to the outside, and the wiring work can be easily performed. Further, even if the rear protruding portion is slightly changed, the second cover member 57 can be removed, Modifications can be made to the first cover member 54 or the second cover member, and it is possible to easily deal with this.

Further, regarding the relationship between the first cover member 54 and the second cover member 57 and the mechanism plate 32, as shown in FIGS. 8 and 9, the opening 32a formed in the mechanism plate 32 is formed. Since the second cover member 57 is formed so as to correspond to the second cover member 57, the second cover member 57 penetrates the opening 32a when opening and closing the mechanism plate 32. No need to change. Also,
As shown in FIG. 9, the opening 32a of the mechanism plate 32 in this embodiment is formed to be slightly smaller than the first cover member 54 (they may have substantially the same size).
It is possible to penetrate not only the second cover member 57 but also the relay board 71, and therefore the control board 98.
It is possible to extremely easily connect the wiring 99 to the connector 101 of the relay board 71.

[0023]

As is apparent from the above description, according to the present invention, a pachinko ball or a game board dropped from a prize ball tank or other unexpected place is manufactured, transported, or replaced. The projecting portion of the gaming device that projects to the back side of the game board during work can be effectively protected by the second cover member, and the second cover member is detachably provided to the first cover member. Since each cover member can be molded separately, it can be easily formed. Further, since the second cover member is configured to penetrate through the opening formed in the mechanism plate, there is no need to process the mechanism plate or newly change it, and the rear protrusion of the game device is changed. Can be easily dealt with.
