Description of the Related Art In a pachinko machine, which is one of the representative examples of this gaming machine, a front frame having necessary game components mounted and set on the front side of an opening of a vertical rectangular outer frame is detachably and openably assembled. Attached as a unit. Then, at the time of implementation, after the outer frame is fixedly held at a predetermined upright tilt angle on the installation frame base in the game shop or the like, the entire front frame is assembled and set for the game. For this reason, the outer frame is configured as a frame holding frame for exclusively assembling and holding the entire front frame in a stable manner, and having a strength sufficient to withstand a large load or the like.

On the other hand, the front frame is also constructed with durability strength against the total load in consideration of mounting all the game components including the game board and the back mechanism set board.
Then, the entire front frame is connected and supported by the open / close connection support means arranged on the upper and lower portions of one side edge of both frames,
Also, on the assumption that the locking means installed on the opposite side is locked and held in the closed position, it is opened each time the old and new replacement sets of the game board and the components on the back side are inspected and repaired.

Will fluctuate. In addition, since the pachinko machines in the implementation state are arranged at a small interval only with the ball lending machine interposed, the open range on the front frame side is a condition that does not interfere with adjacent pachinko machines (generally outside It is said that about 90 to 100 degrees orthogonal to the frame) is desirable. However, in reality, when the entire front frame is subjected to a small external force or vibration, it may fluctuate to the adjacent machine side and interfere with the player's right hand side in particular.

In the open / closed state of the front frame described above, conventionally, there has been no proposal for stably holding the entire front frame side at a predetermined open position, and there has been no suitable technical means. For this reason, there is a considerable amount of difficulty in the above-mentioned work operations related to replacement, inspection and repair, etc., while the front frame side is open. For example, in a situation where the entire open front frame side is likely to fluctuate from the open neutral position to any one, when work can be completed in a relatively short time or when one hand (mainly right hand) can easily perform, The technicians and managers will not have much trouble. However, when it takes a long time or when both hands work is required, the entire front frame side, which is liable to change, becomes an obstacle in performing the work, which is not only annoying but also often causes discomfort to other players. there were.

The present invention was proposed in order to preferably solve the above-mentioned problems, and the front frame assembled to the outer frame can be restrained and held at a required open position to eliminate fluctuations and the like, and a game board. It is an object of the present invention to provide a vertical game machine that can simplify the work related to the replacement of the machine, the inspection and repair of the back side constituent members, and the like, and safety.

And the contact portion 69 located between the support pieces 66 are integrally formed. Then, each receiving member 64 is inserted and set in the concave groove 67 from the back side with respect to the installation portion 65 and fixed by the minimum number of screws 70.

The open holding means E is composed of the two frames A,
In consideration of the assembly condition of B, for convenience, the 90 ° open position of the front frame B is regarded as the neutral position and fully opened, and on the premise of a form example, the lower open / close connection supporting means C2 side is provided with a required portion. Equipped. That is, as shown in FIGS. 8, 12, and 13, the support cylinder portion 71 formed in the lower left corner portion of the frame body 20.
And a locking pin 73 press-fitted into the hole 72 of the support cylinder portion 71, and an arm-shaped lock provided on the upper surface of the lower frame rod 4 of the outer frame A so as to be pivotable in the front-back direction in a horizontal state. Member 75
Is the main subject. The locking member 75 has its base end supported in a cantilevered manner by a support shaft 74 fixed to the lower frame rod 4, and has a predetermined position at its tip (a constant radial position from the pivoting fulcrum). A substantially U-shaped engagement opening 77 for the locking pin 73 is formed on the engaging pin 73, and a knob 78 integrally formed at substantially the central portion of the member 75 can be used to easily rotate the engaging pin 73. The engagement opening 77 can be engaged with and disengaged from the positioning member 73 in a disengageable manner. The support shaft 74
Is fitted and fixed above and below the front plate portion 7 of the lower frame rod 4, and a snap ring 76 for retaining is fitted to the lower end of the protrusion.

Then, another means for assembling the two frames A and B will be additionally described. First, as a means for connecting the front frame B to the outer frame A, as shown in FIGS.
Engaging support pieces 81 projecting from four positions on the upper, lower, left, and right sides engage or abut on the engaging surfaces 82 inside the left and right side frame rods 2, 3, respectively. As a means for stabilizing the posture of the front frame B with respect to the outer frame A, a pressing piece 83 protruding from the front end surface of the upper frame rod 1 is formed on the upper end surface of the frame body 20 as shown in FIG. It is adapted to come into pressure contact with the engagement seat 84.

In the pachinko machine of this embodiment described above,
First, an assembling (attaching / detaching) aspect of both frames A and B forming a frame will be described. That is, the upper and lower open / close connection support means C1,
Regarding C2, in a mode in which the lower side is first connected and then the upper side is connected, the front frame B is held in a 90-degree open direction (orthogonal direction) as shown in FIGS. The bearing boss 54 is aligned upward with respect to the support boss 51 of the lower open connection supporting means C2, and the shaft hole 55 is fitted into the support shaft 53. As a result, both boss portions 51 and 54 are connected. At this time, if the front frame B is slightly tilted by utilizing the fitting tolerance between the support shaft 53 and the shaft hole 55, both the members 53 and 55 are very easily fitted and inserted.

Next, the movable support shaft 45 of the upper opening / closing connection support means C1 is once pulled down with the knob 47, and the support boss portion 41 is pulled down.
The bearing boss 43 is aligned downward with respect to the knob 4
Release 7. As a result, the movable support shaft 45 is automatically displaced upward by the urging force of the spring 46, and the shaft portion 45a is moved into the shaft hole 42.
The boss portions 41, 41 are fixedly held at a position where the knob 47 is in contact with the lower surface of the bearing boss portion 43 while being inserted into the boss portions 41,
43 are connected (see FIG. 10). The movable support shaft 45
It is desirable to use a dedicated tool or the like in the descending operation of the device because the biasing force of the spring 46 is relatively strong.

On the other hand, when disassembling the front frame B in the opposite manner to the above, first, the movable support shaft 4 in the upper opening / closing connection support means C1 is arranged.
5 is temporarily pulled down in the releasing direction to remove the shaft portion 45a from the shaft hole 42 of the support boss portion 41, so that both boss portions 4a
The connection of 1,43 is released. And under this, front frame B
The bearing boss portion 43 is moved away from the support boss portion 41 by slightly inclining and the entire front frame B is appropriately pulled up. As a result, the support shaft 53 and the shaft hole 55 in the lower opening / closing connection support means C2 are removed, and the connection between the boss portions 51 and 54 is released.

Then, as described above, the front frame B assembled to the outer frame A by connecting the upper and lower open / close connection support means C1 and C2.
The upper and lower support shafts 45 and 53 are closed as the center of rotation to fit the front surface of the opening of the outer frame A. Thereby, the frame body 20
The relief recess 48 is laterally fitted to the support boss 41. On the other hand, the support seat 24 is placed on the receiving seat 8, and the pressing piece 83 of the outer frame A is pressed against the upper surface of the engaging seat 84 of the frame body 20. In this state, the entire front frame B is stably held in an appropriate horizontal posture that is appropriately levitated with respect to the upper surface of the front plate portion 7 of the lower frame rod 4 of the outer frame A under the condition that the upward movement is prevented. .
Then, in this closed state, the upper and lower hooks 63 of the locking means D engage with the receivers 64 of the outer frame A in a variable manner to be locked and held.

When the front frame B is assembled and closed,
By engaging the engaging support pieces 81 of each part of the back surface of the frame body 20 with the engaging surfaces 82 of the left and right side frame rods 2 and 3, respectively, the entire front frame B with respect to the outer frame A moves in the left-right direction. Rattling is preferably prevented, and a stable bond is maintained. As a result, when the entire pachinko machine is stored or transported in a sideways state, the total load of the entire front frame B side is directly applied to either the left or right side frame rods 2 and 3 engaged with the engaging support piece 81. The outer frame A will take over most of the work. Therefore, in the open / close connection support means C1 and C2 located on the left and right,
The total load on the front frame side is greatly reduced, and the action of a large external force in the shearing direction is avoided in advance, so that the deformation of the respective support shafts 45, 53 and the loosened boss portions 41, 43, 5 are prevented.
The deformation and crack damage of 1, 54 are eliminated.

Both frames A and B that are assembled and engaged as described above
The pachinko machine with the machine as a machine is provided for the game by assembling and setting the entire front frame B side to the outer frame A installed at a tilt angle required for installation on the installation machine base F in a game shop or the like. Therefore, when the outer frame A is installed, as shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, the lower edge front edge of the lower frame rod 4 is aligned with the reference position of the lower support plate 89, and the upper edge front edge of the upper frame rod 1 is aligned. The upper plate 88 is appropriately moved backward with respect to a predetermined position to set the entire tilt angle. Under this condition, the nail N inserted into the nail hole 5 of the upper frame rod 1 is driven into the upper plate 88 to fix the upper side,
In the angle adjustment fixing portion 10 of the lower frame rod 4, the locking tooth belt 12
The set screw 17 is inserted into the elongated hole 11 from the seat hole 14 of the fixed plate 13 which is positioned and engaged with the lower plate 89 and screwed into the lower receiving plate 89.
The fixing plate 13 is strongly tightened and fixed, and the lower side is positioned and fixed. By the way, when changing and adjusting the outer frame A to another angle, it is possible to engage the fixing plate 13 with the locking tooth belt 12 at a predetermined position and fix it with the set screw 17.

In the above-described embodiment, the upper and lower open / close connection support means C is used for inspection and repair of the back side of the front frame.
When the entire front frame B is opened based on 1 and C2, it is stably held at a predetermined position by the opening holding means E. That is, as can be understood from FIGS. 8, 12, and 13, in the opening holding means E, the locking portion village 75 is rotated by the knob 78 of the locking member 75 in a state where the front frame B is stopped at the opening position of approximately 90 degrees. . Then, the engagement port 77 of the locking member 75 is positioned and engaged with the locking pin 73.

As a result, the entire front frame B is constrained and held stably at a fully open position at a position of approximately 90 degrees, and further over-opening is restricted with reference to the same position, and fluctuations to the pachinko machine on the adjacent side. Is prevented, and the closing return below that is restricted to prevent the variable return to the closing position. Therefore, under the fully opened state of the front frame B, it is possible to avoid the interference with the player on the adjacent side, and the work in the case where it takes a long time and requires both hands is not bothered by fluctuations. You can operate the tools properly and quickly and easily.

On the other hand, when returning the entire front frame B to the original closed position at the end of work, the locking member 75 in the opening holding means E is pulled back to the right side in FIG. The engagement with the pin 73 is released, and the same member 75 is swung in the same direction as it is to be positioned on the upper surface of the lower frame rod 4 of the outer frame A as shown by the chain double-dashed line in FIG.
Therefore, thereafter, the entire front frame B can be quickly closed back based on the upper and lower open / close connection support means C1 and C2.
In the mounting alignment state in which the front frame B is returned to the closed position with respect to the outer frame A, the locking member 75 causes the receiving seat 8, the support seat 24, and the lower open / close connection support on the mounting alignment surfaces of both frames A and B. It is accommodated within the alignment margin formed by the support seat 56 of the means C2.

With respect to the technique relating to the open holding of the front frame B, which is the object of the present invention, another example other than the above-mentioned embodiment is preferably recommended. For example, as the opening holding means E in the form of an arm lock as shown in FIGS. 14 and 15, a support cylinder portion 90 formed inside the lower left corner of the frame body 20 of the front frame B, and a screw on the support cylinder portion 90. A locking member 92 supported by a stopped support shaft 91 so as to be capable of moving up and down in the front-rear direction, and a locking pin 94 press-fitted into a holding cylinder 93 formed inside the left side frame rod 2 of the outer frame A. It may be a type of means mainly consisting of and.
According to this means E, the front frame B is almost 90 times larger than the outer frame A.
In the opened state in which the locking member 92 is rotated,
5, the U-shaped engaging port 9 is formed at a predetermined position (constant radius position) of the tip end portion of the locking member 92 by rotating the locking member 5.
The 2a is positioned and engaged with the locking pin 94. As a result, the front frame B can be locked and held immovably at a predetermined open position with respect to the outer frame A. Further, when the engaging port 92a of the locking member 92 is removed from the engaging pin 94, the lock is released, and the locking member 92 is held by the support shaft 91 in the accommodated state in which it is hung on the back side of the front frame B (two points in FIG. 14). See the chain line).
Under this, the front frame B can be returned to the closed position.

Further, as the open holding means E in the form of a slide as schematically shown in FIG. 16, a side frame rod on the left side of the outer frame A is provided in the vicinity of the open / close connection support means C2 under both frames A and B. 2 Support cylinder portion 100 formed inside and the same cylinder portion 100
It is picked up by being inserted and supported in the front and rear direction in the support hole 100a of 1
A locking member 101 in the form of a slide rod that can be operated with 04;
Support cylinder portion 102 formed on the left side edge of the frame body 20 of the front frame B
It may be a type of means mainly consisting of and. This means E
According to the above, in the open state of the front frame B with respect to the outer frame A,
The locking member 101 is pushed forward and the locking portion 1 on the front end side thereof
By fitting 01a into the engaging hole 103 of the support cylinder portion 102 of the front frame B and positioning and engaging the same, the front frame B can be locked in the open position and immobilized and held (FIG. 16).
See the solid line). Further, the lock is released by pulling back the locking member 101 and pulling out the engaging portion 101a from the engaging hole 103 of the supporting tubular portion 102. Then, after the member 101 is housed and held in the retracted position shown by the chain double-dashed line in FIG. 16, the front frame B can be returned to the closed position with respect to the outer frame A and held in the placement alignment state.

The opening holding means E shown in each of the embodiments of the present invention can be applied as the opening holding means of the back mechanism setting plate attached to the back side of the front frame.

And in each work,
It is possible to prevent the front frame from accidentally opening and changing to the adjacent game machine side and interfering with the player's hand, or conversely fluctuating in the closing direction and interfering with the worker working behind the front frame. The work can be carried out comfortably and safely under this condition, and it is also possible to prevent the removed screws and parts from falling. Further, the engagement with the front frame in the opened state can be released by a simple operation of returning the locking member in the opening holding means in the anti-locking direction, and the locking member on the outer frame side or the front frame side is required. It can be housed and held in a part. As a result, the opened front frame can be quickly returned to the original closed position without being interfered with or restricted by the locking member, and can be held in the mounting alignment state with respect to the outer frame. In addition, even when the front frame is attached to and detached from the outer frame (assembling and disassembling), the locking member of the opening holding means does not get in the way and can be easily performed.
