Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a pachinko gaming machine, and more particularly to a pachinko gaming machine having an improved mechanism for pivotally attaching a mechanism plate to a front frame.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art A pachinko gaming machine is composed of a large number of parts. When changing the content of a pachinko game, the game board that determines the game content and the parts accompanying it are replaced, and others are common. It is generally made to be used.

That is, as shown in FIG. 8, a pachinko gaming machine of this type has an outer frame 61 fixed to an island where the pachinko gaming machine is installed, and a front side of the outer frame 61 that is openably and closably attached to the outer frame 61. A frame 62, a game board 63 with a large number of nails attached to the back side of the front frame 62, and a mechanism plate 64 installed on the back side of the game board 63 and pivotally attached to the front frame 62 side. Although it is provided, when the game contents are changed, that is, when the "new console is replaced", only the game board 63 is converted and the others are commonly used. This is because not only the outer frame 61 fixed to the “installed island” but also the front frame 62 having the front glass is a basic component that is completely unrelated to the game contents, and the mechanism plate 64 is also Is mainly for discharging prize balls, and has little relation to the game contents.

The front frame 62 is rotatably pivoted to the outer frame 61 by a front frame pivoting portion 65, and a game ball is caught on the game board 63, or a mechanical plate. 6
4 When a ball clogging occurs on the front surface, a staff member of the installation store opens the front frame 62 in the direction of the arrow in FIG. 8, that is, in the front, but in that case, the game board 63 and the mechanism board 64.
Also, it is supposed to be rotated forward together with the front frame 62.

Now, in the pachinko gaming machine as described above,
Although the content of the pachinko game can be changed only by converting the game board 63, the game board 63 itself has become very complicated in recent years, and the number of its components has also increased. Therefore, until now, the outer frame 61, the front frame 62,
The mechanism plate 64 has been used as a common component, but in particular, the mechanism plate 64 cannot be commonly used.

That is, the game board 63 is attached to the back side of the front frame 62 by using the crosspiece member 66, and the front surface side thereof, that is, the surface on which a large number of nails and the like are hammered in, is formed by each nail or the like. Because the pachinko ball must pass between
You can't let something that interferes with the game stick out. Therefore, if there is something that must be projected, this must be projected to the back surface side of the game board 63.

However, the back side of the game board 63 has almost no extra space, as shown in FIG. 1, for example, and the protruding one is a mechanism plate 64 arranged on the back side of the game board 63. I have no choice but to interfere with it.

Particularly, in recent pachinko game machines,
The features and the like provided on the game board 63 for determining the game contents have become complicated, and the number of wiring cords to be connected to the game board 63 has also increased. For example, it is often the case that a large-sized accessory is placed in the approximate center of the game board 63, and a decorative frame that electrically shines in conjunction with the operation of the accessory is formed on the upper front surface or both sides of the game board 63. However, the wiring cord for this decorative frame must be attached to the rear surface side of the game board 63, as shown in FIG.

Then, the outer frame 61 that has been used since before
When using the front frame 62 as it is and changing the game contents by exchanging only the game board 63 with another new one, as shown by the phantom line in FIG.
Cannot be fixed to the front frame 62 side because it is obstructed by the wiring cords and parts / portions protruding to the rear surface of the new game board 63. The mechanism plate 64 includes the mechanism plate pivoting portion 67 described above and the locking device formed on the side edge opposite to the mechanism plate pivoting portion 67.
Although it is fixed to the front frame 62 side, the dimensions between the mechanism plate pivoting portion 67 and the locking device are, of course, precisely defined. If there is a protrusion such as the wiring cord as shown, the mechanism plate 64 cannot be fixed by each locking device.

Therefore, ignoring the presence of protrusions such as wiring cords, when attempting to arrange and fix the mechanism plate 64 on the rear surface side of the game board 63, the mechanism board 64 is forcibly curved while the game board 63 is being curved. The workability is very poor because it has to be pressed against the rear surface and fixed by each locking device. Not only that, but in some cases, the mechanism plate 64 will be damaged. In order to prevent this, the outer frame 61 and the front frame 62 must be changed to those suitable for the new game board 63, and the game content can be changed only by replacing the game board 63. The merit of the machine will be lost.

Therefore, the present inventor has completed the present invention as a result of various studies on how to solve the above problems in this type of pachinko gaming machine.

[0012]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made on the basis of the above circumstances, and the problem to be solved is that a game board to be newly replaced has a protrusion such as a wiring cord on the rear surface side. Even if it has it, the outer frame and the front frame as well as the mechanism plate can be used as they are without being replaced with another one.

In other words, the object of the present invention is to devise the structure for pivotally attaching the mechanism plate to the front frame so that the game board has a protrusion on its rear surface. , The mechanism plate that should be placed on the rear side of this game board can be firmly placed and fixed on the rear side of the game board, so that even if the game board is replaced with another one,
An object is to provide a pachinko gaming machine in which the outer frame, the front frame, and the mechanism plate can be used as they are.

The outer frame 10 is a pachinko game machine 10 of this type.
In order to form a so-called "installation island" by arranging a large number of 0s in the horizontal direction, it is fixed in the vertical direction to the frame body of the installation island, and as shown in FIG. 2 and FIG. Further, there is provided a hinge fitting 11 for supporting the front frame 20 so as to be openable and closable in the front direction. The outer frame 10 is, as shown in FIG.
It has a rectangular frame shape and is made of wood or synthetic resin.

The front frame 20 is pivotally mounted on the front side of the outer frame 10 so as to be openable and closable. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 7, the front frame 20 has a bearing plate 23 protruding toward the front side. The bearing plate 23 is pivotally attached to the pin 12 formed on the hinge fitting 11 on the outer frame 10 side. Further, the front frame 20 is, for example, a molded product made of synthetic resin, has a frame-like shape with a window hole as shown in FIGS. 2 and 4, and its rear surface as shown in FIG. A crosspiece member 22 is integrally provided so as to surround approximately the upper half of the window hole. As shown in FIG. 1, a launch board 26, which is separately formed of synthetic resin or the like, is screwed to the other half of the window hole.

On the front side of the window hole of the front frame 20, as shown in FIGS. 2 and 4, the inside of the game board 30 is clearly visible and the surface of the game board 30 is rolled. Front glass 21 that protects the moving and falling pachinko balls
Between the front glass 21 and the game board 30, a game section 25 in which a pachinko ball rolls and falls.
It has been. Of course, the front glass 21 is the front frame 20.
It is openable and closable forward with respect to itself by a pivoting portion (not shown). Further, as shown in FIG. 6, a finger hooking concave portion 27 is formed on the back surface side of the crosspiece member 22 constituting the front frame 20, and the finger hanging concave portion 27 and a game board 30 described later. Together with the finger-holding concave portion 33 on the side, the game board 30 is easily attached to and detached from the front frame 20.

As shown in FIG. 2, the game board 30 has a large number of nails 31 driven into its surface so as to form a game portion 25 in which a pachinko ball for playing a game moves in a complicated manner. It is provided with a winning ball receiving device, a guide rail, and the like, and determines the game contents. Of course, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 6, a prize ball cover 32 for collecting prize balls is detachably attached to the back surface of the game board 30.

This game board 30 is a crosspiece member 2 on the front frame 20 side.
2 is to be attached / detached from the back side of the front frame 20 in a portion surrounded by 2 and the launching board 26. In order to facilitate the work, for example, a finger hanging concave portion 33 is formed on the upper edge or the like. is there. By using the finger hooking recess 33 and the finger hooking recess 27 on the front frame 20 side described above, the game board 30 can be easily attached to and detached from the front frame 20. The game board 30 may be attached and detached from the front side of the front frame 20.

By the way, the mechanism plate 40 is, as shown in FIG. 6, a substantially U-shaped member which is divided into upper and lower parts and is arranged on the rear surface of the front frame 20 and will be described later. It is fixed by the pivotally attached portion 50 and the locking device 24 described above. This mechanism plate 40, when a pachinko ball is won on the front side of the game board 30, discharges a prize ball corresponding to the prize, and as shown in FIGS. 1 and 6, a ball tank 41 and a discharge gutter 42. The ball discharging device 43, the prize ball discharging gutter 44, the relay board 45, the control device 46, and the like are collectively installed, and are parts made of a synthetic resin having a certain degree of flexibility as a material. That is, as shown in FIG. 1, when the mechanism plate 40 is assembled on the back side of the front frame 20 to form the pachinko gaming machine 100, the winning ball cover 32 on the gaming board 30 side facing the center thereof. The controller 46 is operated by the winning balls collected by
Under the control of the control device 46, the prize balls accumulated in the ball tank 41 are discharged to the front side of the front frame 20.

The mechanism plate 40 of the present embodiment is divided into two as shown in FIG. 6, but if it has an opening to face the winning ball cover 32 on the game board 30 side, it is integrally formed. It may be one. In any case, as described above, the mechanism plate 40 is attached to the one end edge side of the front frame 20 (see FIG.
Then, while being pivotally attached at the right end edge side in the figure), the other end edge side is fixed by each locking device 24.

Next, a pivotal attachment portion 50 for pivotally attaching the mechanism plate 40 to the front frame 20 as described above will be described. In FIGS. 2 and 3, the hinge pin 53 is attached to the mechanism plate 40 side. The fixed first embodiment is shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, and the second embodiment in which the hinge pin 53 is fixed to the front frame 20 side is shown in FIG. 4 and FIG. To

(Regarding the First Embodiment) In the pivot portion 50 in the first embodiment, as shown in FIG.
The first hinge fitting 51 fixed to the back side of the mechanism and the mechanism plate 4
It has a second hinge fitting 52 fixed to the side end side of 0 and a hinge pin 53 rotatably connecting the two, and as shown in FIG. An arm portion 51a protruding toward the (upper side in FIG. 2) side,
The second hinge fitting 52 and the plate portion 52a projecting to the lateral side (the left side in FIG. 2) intersect with each other. That is, the first hinge fitting 51 is fixed to the front frame 20 by screwing the mounting substrate 51b to the side surface of the front frame 20 (specifically, the side surface of the crosspiece member 22). The second hinge fitting 52 is fixed to the mechanism plate 40 by fixing the fixing fitting 52b to the side surface of the mechanism plate 40 with a screw. A vertical hinge pin 53 is located at the intersection of the arm portion 51a and the plate portion 52a. The hinge pin 53 is integrated with the plate portion 52a on the second hinge fitting 52 side.

On the other hand, the arm portion 51a on the side of the first hinge fitting 51 is long in the lateral direction, that is, in the direction parallel to the mechanism plate 40, as shown by the dotted line in FIGS. And the slot 5 having a width about the diameter of the hinge pin 53
4 are formed. Incidentally, the first hinge fitting 5 of the present embodiment
1 has its arm portion 51a sufficiently extended rearward so that the mechanical plate 40 can be moved as shown by the phantom line in FIG.
The rearward rotation of the mechanism plate 40 can be performed while the mechanism plate 40 does not interfere with other members.

In the pivotal portion 50 having the above-described structure, if there is nothing protruding on the back side of the game board 30, the mechanism plate 40 is arranged and fixed in the state shown by the solid line in FIG. However, if there is a protrusion such as a wiring cord on the back side of the game board 30 and it seems that the protrusion and the mechanism plate 40 interfere with each other, the mechanism plate 40 is placed at the position shown by the phantom line in FIG. It is possible to shift. That is, this mechanism plate 4
The left end side of 0 of FIG. 1 shown in FIG. 1 has no freedom because it is fixed to the left side of the front frame 20 by each locking device 24 as described above. The hinge pin 53 fixed to the second hinge fitting 52 side can freely move laterally within the range of the elongated hole 54 formed on the arm portion 51a side of the first hinge fitting 51 on the side where the is provided. Therefore, it is possible to shift to the position shown by the phantom line in FIG.

In this case, what is important is that the long axis direction of the long hole 54 is parallel to the game board 30, that is, the horizontal direction. If the long-axis direction of the long hole 54 is long in a direction other than the lateral direction, for example, in the front-rear direction, not only because the mechanism plate 40 cannot be closely attached to the game board 30 side, but it is not flat. This is because it is impossible to cope with the reduction in the distance between the lock device 24 and the hinge pin 53 due to the bending of the mechanism plate 40 as shown in FIG. The same can be said even if the major axis direction of the elongated hole 54 is an oblique direction, and the major axis direction of the elongated hole 54 must absolutely be the lateral direction.

(Regarding the Second Embodiment) The pivot pin 50 according to the second embodiment shown in FIGS.
3 is fixed to the arm portion 51a side of the first hinge fitting 51, and the long hole 54 that is long in the lateral direction is formed on the plate portion 52a side of the second hinge fitting 52, according to the first embodiment described above. It is similar to the pivot portion 50.

That is, the pivot portion 50 of the second embodiment.
Also has a first hinge fitting 51, a second hinge fitting 52, and a hinge pin 53, as shown in FIG.
The hinge pin 53 is arranged and fixed in the vertical direction by the arm portion 51a on the first hinge fitting 51 side. The lateral elongated hole 54 is formed in the plate portion 52a on the second hinge fitting 52 side, which is opposite to the case of the first embodiment.

Therefore, in any of the pivot parts 50 according to any of the above embodiments, even if the game board 30 has a protrusion on the back side thereof, the mechanism plate 4 formed by this protrusion is used.
The influence on the 0 side is that the hinge pin 53 on each pivot attachment part 50 side is
Is absorbed by the relative movement between the long hole 54 and
As a result, the front frame 20 by the locking device 24 of the mechanism plate 40
Therefore, it is possible to easily fix to.

In any of the above embodiments, the intermediate portion between the pivotal attachment portion 50 of the mechanism plate 40 and the lock device 24 is also fixed to the front frame 20 side by the intermediate lock device 47. However, this intermediate locking device 47 also has an elongated hole 48 for absorbing a relative positional deviation of the mechanism plate 40 due to a wiring cord or the like. Of course, the size and the long axis direction of the elongated hole 48 are the same as those of the elongated hole 54 on the pivotal attachment portion 50 side, and the elongated hole 48 is the same as the elongated hole 54 on the mechanism plate 40 side or. It may be formed on the front frame 20 side and implemented.

[0033]

As described above in detail, in the present invention, as exemplified in the above embodiment, the pivotal attachment portion 5 for pivotably supporting one side of the mechanism plate 40 to the front frame 20 side.
For 0, the arm portion 51 is provided on the side of the first hinge fitting 51.
a or the plate portion 52a on the side of the second hinge fitting 52, the hinge pin 53 is integrated, and the elongated hole 54 for relatively guiding the hinge pin 53 in the lateral direction is formed in the plate portion 52a or the arm portion 51a. There is a feature above, so even if the game board has a protrusion on the rear surface side, a mechanism plate that should be arranged on the rear surface side of this game board is firmly arranged on the rear surface of the game board. It is possible to provide a pachinko gaming machine in which the outer frame, the front frame, and the mechanism plate can be used as they are even if the game board is replaced with another one so that it can be fixed.

That is, according to the present invention, the game board 30 newly adopted for changing the game contents has a protrusion on its rear surface, and the influence of this protrusion on the rear surface side of the game board 30. Even if the mechanism plate 40 to be arranged / fixed has this effect, this influence is exerted on the hinge pin 5 of each pivot portion 50.
3 and the long hole 54 can relatively absorb the mechanical plate 40, and the mechanism plate 40, which has been used until then, can be easily and easily fixed to the front frame 20 by the locking device 24. Therefore, according to the pachinko gaming machine 100 of the present invention, it is possible to replace only the gaming board 30 while using the outer frame 10, the front frame 20, and the mechanism plate 40 as they are.
