It is intended to form a hollow decorative part. It should be noted that a display lamp for displaying a prize, an illumination lamp for decoration, and the like are housed in the hollow portion formed by the connection, and a code for energizing these lamps is wired.

In the figure, 6 is a game board 1 inside the decorative component.
A window 8 is formed in the corner base plate 4 of each of the portions 2a and 2b for inserting a display lamp (not shown) through which the through hole 7 is provided. It is a mounting hole for mounting the clip 3 for fixing.

The mounting hole 8 is formed in a keyhole shape by providing two large and small holes 8a and 8b in succession. From the large hole portion to the small hole portion between the large hole portion 8a and the small hole portion 8b. A guide portion 8c is provided that gradually narrows the width interval. The mounting hole 8 has a fitting relationship with the clip 3 described below,
Since the conditions are mutually established, they will be sequentially described in accordance with the description of the clip 3.

The clip 3 comprises a head 9 and an insertion leg 10. The head 9 has two large and small flanges 11 and 12, and these two
Neck 1 that connects two flanges up and down with a required space
It consists of 3. The small flange 11 is formed in a disc shape having a diameter smaller than that of the large hole portion 8a of the mounting hole 8 and larger than that of the small hole portion 8b, and the large flange 12 is formed in a disc shape having a larger diameter than the large hole portion 8a. I am doing it. The neck portion 13 connecting the two flanges has a length substantially equal to the wall thickness of the base plate 4 of the decorative component to determine the distance between the flanges, and the shaft diameter can be fitted into the small hole portion 8b through the guide portion 8c. It is formed in diameter.

The insertion leg 10 hangs from the central portion of the lower surface of the large flange 12 with respect to the head 9 having the two flanges 11 and 12, and a bullet having a bulging portion 14 on the outer peripheral surface in the middle of its length. It is formed into a shape. Further, in this embodiment, a plurality of slits 15 in the lengthwise direction are provided on the outer peripheral surface of the insertion leg 10 to impart flexibility in addition to the elasticity of the material so that the leg diameter portion 14 can be reduced in diameter.

The insertion leg 10 is to be inserted into the mounting hole 16 of the ornamental component after the head 9 is mounted in the mounting hole 8 of the decorative component, and is pushed into and engaged with the mounting hole 16 of the game plate 1. The diameter will be somewhat larger.

The mounting hole 16 is formed by penetrating the game board 1.
Here, the hole portion 16a on the front side of the game board is formed smaller than the outer diameter of the insertion leg 10 and the hole portion 16b on the rear side is formed larger than the outer diameter of the insertion leg to form a step portion 17 in the middle of the hole depth. It is provided so that when the insertion leg 10 is received, the bulge 14 of the leg engages the step 17.

The present invention is constructed as described above. To further explain the mounting of the decorative component, the clip 3 is first attached to the decorative component, and then the insertion leg 10 of the clip is played. It is performed by pushing it into the mounting hole 16 provided in the plate 1. That is, the clip 3 for the decorative component 2
First, the large hole portion 8a of the mounting hole 8 formed in the base plate 4 is attached.
The small flange 11 of the head 9 is faced and thrust in, and when the large flange 12 contacts the lower surface of the base plate 4, the entire clip is laterally moved and the neck 13 is moved to the small hole 8b through the guide portion 8c. Done by.

When the neck portion 13 is transferred to the small hole portion 8b, the small flange 11 cannot be pulled out as it is because it has a larger diameter than the small hole portion 8b, and both sides of the base plate 4 are removed. The small flange 11 and the large flange 12 sandwich the small flange 11 and the large flange 12 so that the small flange 11 and the large flange 12 can be stably attached to the mounting hole 8. When the head portion 9 moves laterally, the neck portion 13 is guided by the guide portion 8c that gradually narrows the width, and the small hole portion 8 is smoothly moved.
However, if the width of the narrowest part of the guide portion 8c is made slightly smaller than the shaft diameter of the neck portion 13, it will be clicked into the click and the small hole portion 8b, and it will be in the fit state. Can be stabilized, and the clip can be effectively prevented from falling off during the work of attaching the decorative component.

After mounting the clips 3 in the respective mounting holes 8 in this manner, the decorative parts 2 are exposed from the front surface of the game board 1 and the mounting holes 16 are provided with the insertion legs 10 rising from the rear surface of the base plate 4. After facing, the front surface of the decorative component 2 is pressed and press-fitted to complete the mounting. Since the insertion leg 10 is formed so that the diameter can be reduced as described above, the insertion leg 10 is pressed against the inner wall surface of the mounting hole by force and is pressed against the force in the pulling-out direction. Engages with the stepped portion 17 inside the hole, so that stronger engagement is realized and any dropout is prevented.

By the way, in the embodiment, the decorative part 2 is divided into two parts 2a and 2b and formed separately, and these parts are combined to form a large decorative part as one part. Although the case of fixing to the game board using 3 is shown, in this case, the direction of the mounting hole 8 for mounting the clip 3, that is, the continuous directions of the two large and small hole portions 8a and 8b are directed in mutually different directions. When the setting is opened, the clips engaged in these mounting holes are restrained from each other and are prevented from moving from the small hole portion 8b to the large hole portion 8a, so that a stable mounting state can be obtained without coming off. Become.

As described above, in the case of a large-sized ornamental part, it is advantageous to fix it with a plurality of clips for stability, and by changing the directions of the mounting holes 8 to each other Although the parts are prevented from moving laterally and stable mounting is secured, even if a protrusion is provided on the lower surface of the base plate to fit it in a recess provided in the front of the game board to restrain lateral movement Well, in this case, stable attachment can be achieved even by attaching with one clip 3. In this case, of course, the same effect can be obtained by providing the game board with a fitting recess for receiving the entire decorative component to be attached and replacing the projection provided on the base board.

[0028]

The present invention has been described in detail with reference to the embodiments.
Since the clip that serves as a means to fix the decorative parts is molded separately and assembled, even if this clip is damaged, it can be easily replaced and used, and the decorative part itself Since it is not necessary to integrally form the fastening means, there is an advantage that it is excellent in manufacturability and that the decorative component can be freely designed.

In the mounting structure of the present invention, the clip can be mounted by inserting the head into the mounting hole of the decorative part and moving the head laterally, and the clip is pressed against the game board to press it into the mounting hole. Since the mounting work is completed simply by doing so, it is far more advantageous than the conventional fixing method using wood screws or the like. Of course, the above clip has a different locking force due to the shape of the insertion leg, the shape of the mounting hole drilled in the game board, and the inner diameter, but it can be pulled out if it is fixed by the frictional engagement force as described above. Therefore, it is extremely advantageous when repairing.
