This glass is usually housed in a frame called a metallic glass metal frame and attached to the front frame.
Conventionally, this metal frame is formed by pressing a steel strip into a frame material having two glass mounting grooves, and this frame material is bent into a rectangular shape with the mounting grooves inside to form a frame body. It is constructed by assembling a frame-shaped decorative front frame along the front edge of the frame body, and is usually mounted by dropping glass from the end of the above-mentioned mounting groove that opens upward. There is.

This metal frame is usually attached to one edge of the front face of the front frame so as to be freely opened and closed, and the opening of the front frame is closed to cover the front face of the game board. The decorative front frame is attached to the edge of the opening to seal the gap and prevent fraud.

[0004]

However, since the steel metal frame is formed by press forming as described above, it is difficult for the shape to return due to the springback, and it is difficult to obtain accuracy, and in particular, the width of the glass mounting groove is unstable. There was a problem that an unnecessary gap was created between the glass and the glass that was installed. Further, since this metal frame is related to a structure in which the frame body and the decorative front frame are separately formed, and then both are assembled and assembled, productivity is poor,
Moreover, some of them were unstable in terms of strength, and there was a problem in crime prevention.

The present invention has been made in view of the above problems and has been made in order to improve the problems. The frame material forming the main body of the glass frame is made of aluminum extruded shape, and a glass mounting groove is formed in the frame.

The upper plate base plate 18 can be detached from the front frame 1b by removing the hinge by pulling up the shaft 22 from the bearing hole 23 (this will be described later in detail). .). Further, the decorative frame body 17 pulls down the shaft 20 against the spring and removes it from the upper hinge piece 6, and then lifts the frame body 17 to move the shaft 21 to the intermediate hinge piece 1.
It can be removed from the front frame 1 by removing it from 9. Of course, both the decorative frame 17 and the upper plate substrate 18 can be assembled to the front frame 1b by the reverse operation of the above-described removal.

The decorative frame body 17 is formed of synthetic resin in a frame shape, and is formed in a size capable of covering the entire upper half of the front frame 1b when closed. In the decorative frame body shown here, the upper edge portion 17a and the left and right edge portions 17b and 17c are bulged forward to be three-dimensionalized, and a hollow portion 25 is formed on the back surface to provide a wiring space for the lead wire of the lamp. A colored semi-transparent lens cover 26, 27, 28 is attached to the front surface of each edge so as to cover a display or illumination lamp which faces forward through a through hole 29 formed in each edge. .

The lens covers 26, 27, 28 are mounted so as to be fitted to the edged mounting portions 30 formed on the front surfaces of the respective edge portions 17a, 17b, 17c, and are rearward from the edges of the respective cover portions. The claws 31 projecting toward the side are engaged with and attached to the notch engaging portions 32 provided along the edge of the mounting portion 30 by utilizing elasticity. Here, the left and right covers 27 and 28 are attached, and then the upper cover 26 is attached to join the ends of the three members to decorate the front surface of the decorative frame body 17 in a gate shape.

In the figure, reference numeral 33 denotes a glass frame according to the present invention which closes the opening 34 from the back surface of the decorative frame body 17. In this glass frame 33, two glasses 35, 35 are mounted in a face-to-face relationship with a space therebetween, and one side edge thereof is the left edge portion 17 of the decorative frame body.
It can be freely attached and closed by attaching it to the back of b.

The glass frame 33 shown here is made of an extruded aluminum material as a material in order to improve the crime prevention effect and prevent rattling at the time of mounting, thereby improving the accuracy. As shown in FIG. 16, the mold material used here has a ridge 36 provided with a circular through hole along the central portion in the central portion, which is bulged along the lengthwise direction. Glass mounting groove 37,
37 is provided and is formed to have a substantially E-shaped cross section. As shown in the drawing, this mold member is bent in a U shape to form a left vertical frame 33a as one side frame and horizontal frames 33b, 33c as upper and lower side frames, and further, both horizontal frames 33b, 33c. A right vertical frame 33d, which is a side frame of another aluminum-shaped material having a U-shaped cross section, is passed between the free ends and is assembled into a rectangular frame body.

As shown in FIGS. 14 and 15, the right vertical frame 33d is a slender mold material that fits the width of the protrusion 36 of the mold material that is bent in a U shape, and faces the ends of the upper and lower horizontal frames 33b and 33c. Screws (not shown) by passing both ends between the ridges 36, 36
Are assembled into a rectangular shape by kneading them into the circular hole, and by connecting this right vertical frame 33d, the end portions of the glass mounting grooves 37, 37 of the upper and lower horizontal frames are opened (see FIG. 15). The glass 35 can be inserted.

By the way, as described above, the mold material constituting the glass frame 33 has the left vertical frame 33a, which is one side frame, as its center, and its both ends are bent at right angles to form the horizontal frames 33b, 33c which are upper and lower side frames. However, the corners 38, 38 formed by this bending are not right angles but arcuate. For this reason, when the glass 35 cut out in a rectangular shape is inserted from the end of the mounting groove 37 and mounted, the corners of the right-angled glass do not fit into the arc-shaped corners 38, and as a result, the left vertical frame 33a and the glass 35 side. There will be a gap between the edge.

The above problem can be solved by arranging the corners of the glass 35 in an arc shape so as to match the corners 38. However, such preprocessing of the glass increases the cost and at the same time Since only the upper and lower corners of the side edge are processed, the glass 35 is fitted in a certain direction, which is inconvenient to handle. Therefore, in the present invention, both corner portions 3
The bottoms of the glass mounting grooves 37, 37 corresponding to 8, 38 are cut along the lengthwise direction in the arc-shaped portion, and the elongated hole-like protruding holes 39, 39 are opened so that the corners of the glass are pulled out. The corners of the glass 35 formed in a rectangular shape are fitted exactly to the arc-shaped corners 38 of the glass frame.

In the figure, reference numeral 40 denotes upper and lower horizontal frames 33b and 33 for stopping the backlash of the glass 35 fitted in the glass frame.
It is a rattling stop attached to c. The backlash stopper 40 is formed of a synthetic resin material having elasticity, and is composed of a mounting portion 40a having a U-shaped cross section as shown in the figure and a bifurcated spring piece 40b extending from both ends of the mounting portion 40a. The mounting portion 40a is fitted so as to cover the protrusion 36 of each lateral frame, and the protrusion 40c protruding therefrom is press-fitted into the hole 41 provided in the protrusion 36 to attach the spring 40b. The fitting groove 37 is fitted in the fitting groove 37 along the length direction.

19 and 20 show the mounting of the rattling stopper 40 and the actual prevention of rattling of the glass 35 by the rattling stopper in the lower horizontal frame 33c. The glass 35 inserted from the end of the glass mounting groove 37 reaches the backlash stop 40 which is attached in the middle of the horizontal frame,
The spring piece 40b lying on 7 is crushed and intrudes, and is slid and mounted until one side edge is fitted into the mounting groove 37 of the left vertical frame 33a.

The two pieces of glass 35 are similarly inserted into the respective mounting grooves 37, crush the spring pieces 40b of the respective rattling stoppers 40, and the repulsive force pushes against the side walls of the grooves to prevent the rattling. And will keep the interval. The rattling stopper 40 is also mounted on the upper horizontal frame 33b so as to face each other, and the rattling stopper 40 is slid above and below.

By the way, since the backlash stopper 40 is attached,
In this embodiment, the width of each mounting groove 37 of the glass frame is set to the glass 3
It is formed wider than the plate thickness of No. 5, so that the spring piece 40b can be accommodated together with the glass 35. Further, by expanding the width, the glass 35 can be easily fitted. When the glass 35 is pressed from the inside and outside, the spring piece 40b absorbs the force. Especially, when the glass frame 33 is closed to the decorative frame body 17, the pressing force of the spring piece 40b is absorbed.
The edge 34a protruding rearward of the opening 34 can be brought into close contact with the front surface of the front glass 35, and if there is an error in the positional relationship between the two, it can be effectively absorbed. Can be applied to.

In the embodiment, the rattling stopper 40 has been described with the pair of spring pieces 40b provided at both ends of the mounting portion 40a. However, even if only one spring piece 40b is provided at one end side, it is derived from both ends. Needless to say, one of the two spring pieces may be omitted and one spring piece may intervene in the two mounting grooves 37. The rattling stopper 40 is for preventing rattling caused by the difference between the thickness of the glass 35 fitted in the glass frame and the groove width of the mounting groove 37 as described above, and the glass frame is closed to the decorative frame body 17. Since this is to prevent backlash caused by an error in closing between the two, the choice of the mounting position, the number of spring pieces, or the number of spring pieces is left to the designer upon implementation.

In the figure, reference numerals 42 and 43 are pivotal pieces for hingedly attaching the glass frame 33 to the decorative frame body 17. The pivotal piece is formed by bending a strip-shaped metal piece into a crank shape, and is attached to the outside of the corner 38 of the glass frame 33 and integrally fixed by using a rivet or the like. By attaching this pivoting piece, the corner portion of the glass 35 protruding outside from the protruding hole 39 of the corner portion 38 is covered, and the danger during handling is avoided (see FIG. 17).

In the glass frame 33, the bearing pieces 42a, 43a of the pivoting pieces 42, 43 are pivotally attached to the pivoting axes 44, 45 provided on the upper and lower sides of the rear surface of the left edge portion 17b of the decorative frame body 17, respectively.

However, according to the present invention, since the glass frame body is made of the extruded aluminum material, the mounting groove of the glass has a width corresponding to the thickness of the glass. There is an advantage that a glass frame that can be molded and therefore has high accuracy can be provided, and that a frame body can be formed by bending the above-mentioned mold material, so that a stable product having excellent manufacturability can be easily provided. Further, according to the present invention, a rectangular glass is mounted as it is because the glass main body formed by bending the above-mentioned mold material has a structure in which a protruding hole is opened at the bottom of the glass mounting groove of the arc-shaped corner to allow the corner of the glass to escape. This is extremely advantageous because unnecessary processing can be omitted. Moreover, according to the present invention, since the protruding hole is covered by the pivotal piece of the glass frame to hide the sharp corner of the glass, there is an advantage that the danger can be prevented and the glass can be used safely.
