Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To prevent a surface sheet around a through hole from peeling off by forming a cut line in the surface sheet in the area wider than the through hole and hidden by mechanical parts of a game machine attached at the through hole. SOLUTION: After a cut line 15 is pressed/cut in a surface sheet 1, a through hole 29 is cut out in an area surrounded by the cut line 15 in a play board 9 from the rear surface of the play board 9. When the edge of the blade of a cutting tool such as a drill is thrust through the surface sheet 1 to cut out the through hole 29, the surface sheet 1 is separated from the cut line 15, so the surface sheet 1 around the through hole 29 is prevented from peeling off and rolling up from the play base board 2. And by installing a cutting blade for making cut lines on a press gauge board to be used to form under holes for nails before forming the through hole 29, the number of working processes and incidental equipment can be reduced.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a gaming board of a gaming machine such as a pachinko machine that uses gaming balls and a slot machine that uses medals.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art A game board of a pachinko machine has a cell sheet with a design drawing drawn on the back side integrally joined to the front side of a game board formed in a substantially rectangular shape from wood such as veneer, and has a game function. A through hole for attaching a component is formed. Further, on the back surface of the game board, there is a recess used for positioning the game function parts attached to the back surface of the game board.

[0003]

By the way, when forming a through hole and a recess in the game board, the through hole is formed from the front side of the game board, that is, the cell sheet side, and the recess is formed on the back side of the game board. If the boring process is performed from the game board side, the boring process becomes two steps, which is economically disadvantageous.

From the above, as shown in FIG. 7, when the through hole 50 and the depression 51 are perforated from the back surface side of the game board 52 in one step, the drill 53 is formed when the through hole 50 is formed. When exiting to the front side of the game board 52, the cut edge of the cell sheet 54 may be peeled off from the game board 55 and turned up. When this flip-up occurs, cutting scraps 56 such as sawdust enter between the flipped-up cell sheet 54 and the game board 55, and the periphery of the through hole 50 of the cell sheet 54 is on the front side of the game board 52. It keeps rising. With this cell sheet 54 raised,
When game functional parts such as tulips, center accessories, winning holes, and attackers (not shown) are attached to the front surface of the game board 52, not only the height of the game functional parts becomes unreasonably high, but also the game functional parts are distorted. May occur.

If the gaming function parts are unduly high, the gaming board 52 is assembled to a machine frame attached to an island of a pachinko parlor, and when the glass of the machine frame is closed, the glass may be damaged. If the game function component has a movable portion, the movable portion may malfunction due to the distortion and may hinder the game play. Therefore, after the hole making, the cell sheet 54 and the game board 55 Since the cutting waste 56 that has entered the space is manually removed, there is a limit to the cost reduction.

In order to eliminate such inconvenience, as shown in FIG. 8, a wooden floor plate 57 such as veneer is superposed on the cell sheet 54 of the game board 52, and a perforating process is performed on the back side of the game board 52. Although it may be considered that the floor sheet 57 is warped due to its hygroscopicity, which is one of the characteristics of natural wood, if this warpage occurs, the space between the mating surfaces of the cell sheet 54 and the floor sheet 57 may be increased. In the gap 5
8 occurs, and the same inconvenience as described above occurs in the portion of the gap 58, which is difficult to employ suddenly.

Therefore, the present invention aims to prevent the cell sheet from turning up around the through hole by forming a cut line in the cell sheet in a range larger than the through hole and hidden by the game function parts attached to the through hole. , It is intended to provide a game board of a game machine capable of improving quality reliability.

[0008]

A cell sheet having the design drawing of claim 1 is integrally joined to the front surface of a game board, and a through hole is formed across the game board and the cell sheet. Along with this through hole, the game functional component is inserted and arranged, and the game board of the gaming machine in which the flange projecting to the outside of this game functional component is attached to the front surface of the cell sheet by overlapping, is outside the peripheral edge of the through hole. In addition, a cut line is formed in the cell sheet in a range hidden by the flange of the game function component. According to the structure of this claim 1, after the cut line is pressed and formed on the cell sheet, the through hole is cut and formed in the game board within the area surrounded by the cut line, thereby cutting like a drill or an end mill. When the blade edge of the tool comes out of the cell sheet, the cell sheet is separated from the cut line, and it is possible to reliably prevent the cell sheet from curling up around the through hole, and even when forming a depression on the back side of the game board, a hole It is not necessary to change the procedure of drilling, and the recess and the through hole can be appropriately drilled in a small number of steps. In addition, if a cutting edge for forming a cut line is provided on the press gauge plate used to form the pilot hole for nails that precedes the cutting of the through hole in the game board, this press gauge plate At the same time as the formation, the cut line can be formed by pressing and cutting on the cell sheet, and the number of work steps and incidental equipment can be reduced.
