BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a component mounting structure for a pachinko machine, and more specifically, a member for processing prize balls spilling from a prize ball outlet inside the machine when a front opening / closing plate equipped with an upper bowl plate is opened. , And the mounting structure of each part of the speaker that informs the player of the respective game states generated during the game by generating sound effects.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In conventional pachinko machines, the front of a front opening / closing plate assembled to the front of the front frame is
An upper ball plate for receiving the game balls at the start of the game and the prize balls discharged in response to the establishment of a prize is attached and set. Therefore, if the front opening / closing plate is opened as necessary, the prize ball outlet inside the machine, that is, the inside of the front frame is placed in a separated and non-communication state with respect to the upper ball plate, and the prize ball in the outlet is opened. May spill toward the front of the game auxiliary board. In order to deal with this, it is necessary to attach some means or member for treating spilled spheres and preventing spilled spheres around the prize ball outlet.

On the other hand, in most of the pachinko machines up to now,
For each game state generated during the game (for example, when winning a prize at a predetermined winning port or when the symbol display device is activated, when special game conditions are established or when the prize device is activated, etc.) A speaker is used as a means for generating a sound effect and notifying the player, and for enhancing the interest of the game. And as a suitable installation site of this speaker, a part that is not affected by the opening and closing of the front opening and closing plate is appropriate, and in order to adapt to this, select the inside of the front frame, especially the front part of the game auxiliary board, It is desired to install a speaker.

[0004]

However, in order to deal with the above-mentioned necessary and desired matters, when a means for processing spilled balls and installing a speaker is attached to the front side of the game auxiliary board, a considerable technique is required. Accompanied by difficulty. That is, as a matter of course, the processing member for the spilled ball is generally installed in the lower part of the exit on the front surface of the game auxiliary board as a portion corresponding to the exit for the prize ball. On the other hand, the mounting part for the speaker is limited to the part excluding the launch rail part installed on one side of the auxiliary board and the return path part for the foul ball formed between the rail and the processing member. In general, it is unavoidable to devise and install an extremely limited narrow space such as a side portion of a processing member.

For this reason, about 1 on the left side of the front of the game auxiliary board
In the space of about / 3, the condition that the processing member for the spilled sphere and the mounting member for the speaker can be skillfully installed so as not to interfere with each other is required, and it is one of the big problems. Therefore, in order to deal with such technical matters, in the current pachinko machine, the processing member is actually made as small as possible and installed in a laterally inclined shape, or the mounting member is made compact for a small speaker and treated as a processing member. Installed separately. As a result,
When exchanging or inspecting the speaker, there is a problem in that the front side opening and closing plate is open and the necessary work from the front side is considerably troublesome, and moreover, it is troublesome.

[0006] Therefore, as an example of the prior art in which measures against spilled balls and measures against speaker installation have been taken in order to solve the above-mentioned problems, Japanese Patent Application No. 59-38961 is used.
A device "speaker mounting device for a pachinko machine" disclosed in Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 60-153183 is proposed. That is, in this conventional technique, the prize ball outlet 9 that guides the prize balls discharged from the back side to the upper tray 3 side is formed into a gutter-shaped member that is long in the depth direction, and faces the open / close panel 4 inward. It is cantilevered. When the prize ball in the same outlet 9 spills to the back side when the opening / closing panel 4 is opened, the spill ball is received in the passage on the back side and discharged to the side of the lower tray. On the other hand, below the prize ball outlet 9, a speaker 13 is provided between a mounting member 10 formed on the front surface of the lower game board 8 and a speaker holder 11 detachably attached to the front surface of the member 10. Is housed. When the open / close panel 4 is open, the speaker 13 can be replaced by removing and attaching the holder 11 from the front side.

However, in the above-mentioned prior art, since the prize ball outlet 9 and the mounting member 10 and the speaker holder 11 are separated from each other and installed in different parts, the configurations related to both are complicated and related. There is an inherent problem that the structure of the peripheral portion needs to be changed drastically and that they must be individually designed and molded as separate members. In other words, even in this conventional technology, in the technology of installing in the front of the game auxiliary board (lower game board) in association with one of the constituent members related to the processing for spilled balls and the installation for the speaker, It is conjectured that each member had to be made unique and separated from each other in order to cause considerable difficulty.
