In addition, in each of the above-described embodiments, the illegal game prevention member 6 and the return ball prevention device 48 are integrally configured, but it is also possible to separate and only replace the return ball prevention device 48.

On the left and right side edges of the first decorative base member 4, there are provided lock receivers 33 used when the game board 2 is attached to the main body of the game machine. In this lock receiver 33, a recess 331 is formed at a predetermined position of the first decorative base member 4 and an attachment base 332 is provided, and the tip of the lock piece 333 made of a metal piece and the first decorative base member are provided on the attachment base 332. The second decorative base member 5 which will be described later, together with the side edge of No. 4
It is configured such that a mounting empty portion 334 for receiving a mounting piece of a game board mounting device (not shown) is formed between the lower surface and the lower surface (see FIG. 18). The game board mounting device is a U-shaped mounting piece that is rotatably attached to the shaft so that the side edges of the game board 2 are sandwiched and the game board 2 is mounted. It is provided in.

The hit ball launched by the hit ball launching device 161 is
It jumps over the foul ball gutter 165 from the launch rail 164 and jumps to the outer rail 31, and is guided by the outer rail 31 to reach the game section 21. Then, as described above, the outer rail in the conventional pachinko machine is formed by bending the base end portion to form a cylindrical fixing portion through which the fixing nail passes, and the fixing nail passed through the fixing portion is made of veneer plywood. It was fixed by hammering it into the game board itself. For this reason, the hit ball collides with the firmly fixed outer rail, and the landing point of the hit ball is severely worn.

Therefore, the game board 2 according to the present invention is constructed so that the impact of the hit ball can be absorbed by the outer rail 31 itself. That is, the outer rail 31 can be deformed with the free space around the landing point where the hit ball collides.

Therefore, in the game board 2 according to the present invention, the width is narrowed by providing the notch portion 311 near the base end of the outer rail 31 so that the side edge does not contact the game board surface side and the width. By making it narrower, it becomes easier to deform and the shock absorption is increased (see FIG. 10).

Further, in order to form a free space which becomes an escape when the outer rail 31 is deformed, the base end portion of the outer standing piece 43, that is, the portion where the ball emitted from the hitting ball launching device 161 collides and the front and rear thereof. The appropriate range of the outer rail 31
The step portion 432 is provided so as to be slightly retracted so as not to come into close contact with.

Specifically, as shown in FIG. 5, the stepped portion of the outer upright piece 43 is slightly retracted from the mounting position of the outer rail 31 so that a space P is formed on the back side of the outer rail 31. 432 is provided. Further, when fixing the base end of the outer rail 31, it is fixed via an outer rail fixing metal fitting 7 described later.

At the tip portion of the outer rail 31 fixed as described above, the outer rail 31 is in a floating state within the range of the step portion 432 where the outer rail fixing metal fitting 7 and the outer upright piece 43 start. Therefore, the hit ball launching device 16
Even if the hit ball fired from No. 1 collides, the impact is alleviated by the deformation of the outer rail 31, so that stable ball flight can be obtained. Further, since the outer rail 31 is not firmly fixed, abrasion of the outer rail 31 due to collision of balls is prevented, and the durability of the outer rail 31 is improved.

In the illustrated embodiment described above, the outer rail 31 is provided with a game board, that is, the first board, by providing the notch 311 near the base end of the outer rail 31 to narrow the width.
The decorative base member 4 and the second decorative base member 5 are configured so as not to come into contact with each other, but the width of the outer rail 31 is left unchanged, and the first decorative base member 4 and the second decorative base member 5 have cutouts, grooves, or the like. May be formed so that the side edges of the outer rail 31 do not come into contact with each other.

Further, as described above, in the conventional game board, the base end of the outer rail 31 is directly fixed to the game board body by the fixing nail. Therefore, fixing requires a skilled technique, and it is difficult to adjust the angle, so that it is difficult to obtain a stable ball flight. Therefore, in this embodiment, the base end of the outer rail 31 is fixed to the fixed substrate 72 by the outer rail fixing metal fitting 7 formed as a separate member.

The outer rail fixing member 7 (see FIG. 9) is provided on the base plate portion 42 provided on the first decorative base member 4 functioning as the fixing substrate 72, on the bottom plate portion 471 of the ball passage 47 in the illustrated embodiment, on the back surface. It is a metal fitting that is fixed from the side with screws or the like, and includes a mounting piece 71 that mounts a fastening portion 312 provided at the tip of the outer rail 31. The mounting piece 71 is formed by cutting and raising the mounting substrate 74, and has a fitting hole 75. The mounting board 74 is provided with a mounting hole 741 and a positioning hole 742 through which mounting screws are passed. In addition, the mounting board 7
A part of the lower edge of the base plate 4 has a bent locking piece 76 formed by bending the lower edge of the base plate portion 42 of the first decorative base member 4 so as to be wound.
Is provided, and the locking ring (not shown) of the locking metal fitting used when the game board 2 is placed on the game board mounting table 16 and installed. Further, at the lower edge corner of the mounting board 74, a rising closing piece 77 is provided so as to close a gap generated between the game board 2 and the base end of the launch rail 164 when the game board 2 is installed on the game board mounting table 16. A protective cap 78 is covered by the closing piece 77 to prevent injury.

A fastening portion 312 is formed at the base end of the outer rail 31 (see FIG. 2). The fastening portion 312 is provided on the outer rail 3
The outer rail 31 is formed by folding back the base end of the outer rail 31.
The base end of is fixed. A dowel 313 is provided on the fastening portion 312, and the dowel 313 is inserted into the fitting hole 75 of the mounting piece 71 to perform positioning and retaining (see FIGS. 9 and 10).

If the outer rail 31 does not stand up at a predetermined angle with respect to the game board body 27, that is, at a right angle, a hit ball may fly toward the glass G, fly toward the surface of the game board body 27, or fly. Not stable. Therefore, although the mounting angle of the outer rail 31 has been conventionally adjusted, this adjustment is a troublesome work requiring skill.

Therefore, in the present embodiment, the mounting piece 71
The outer rail 31 can be adjusted in angle by adjusting the rising angle (see FIG. 11). A dedicated jig 79 is prepared for the angle adjustment. This jig 79
Has a groove portion 791 into which the fastening portion 312 of the outer rail 31 sandwiched by the mounting piece 71 can be fitted, and the jig 79 is used as a lever to change the angle of the mounting piece 71 with a slight force. Instead, the mounting angle of the outer rail 31 is adjusted.

When the mounting angle of the outer rail 31 is accurately adjusted, the hit ball does not pass through the center of the passage and collide with the glass G or the game board surface, and the ball flight is stable.

A bounce rubber 45 is positioned at the tip of the outer rail 31, in other words, at the conversion point with the inner rail 32. The bounce rubber 45 bounces the ball hitting along the outer rail 31 to the game portion 21, and is made of elastic rubber. The bounce rubber 45 has a mounting hole 451 at the center.
The mounting pillar 452 which is raised from the first decorative base member 4 is fitted into the hole 451 and is screwed from the front side toward the mounting pillar 452. In addition, the mounting column 4
A rib 453 for preventing rotation is provided at 52.

The bounce rubber 45 is a portion that separates the outer rail 31 and the inner rail 32. A ball contacts and passes through the outer rail portion, and the ball has a firing force. Therefore, the outer rail portion needs to have wear resistance. On the other hand, at the inner rail portion, the sphere only has a downward force, so that the sphere does not wear even if it comes into contact. Therefore, the durability is not deteriorated even if it is molded with a synthetic resin. In addition, a side lamp is usually arranged on a side portion of the game section 21.
Therefore, the inner rail 32 of the side portion has a structure in which the hit ball does not touch.

The inner rail 32 is formed in a substantially circular shape with the upper side cut off with the outlet 22 at the lowest position. That is, it is formed by the inner standing piece 46 described above, and the lower half portion is covered by the illegal game prevention member 6. The inner standing piece 46
Mounting columns 461 for mounting the illegal game prevention members 6 are provided at appropriate intervals along the line.

Although the illegal game preventing member 6 inserts a piano wire or the like through the gap between the glass G and the inner rail 32 and there is no prize ball, the prize winning device is malfunctioned and the prize ball is illegally acquired. This is a member for preventing this.

The illegal game preventing member 6 has been conventionally installed, but it is troublesome to handle because it is attached as a separate strip member. In addition, since the flat member is attached while being cut and curved, a skilled technique is required for the work, and the worker may vary the work. In addition, it may shrink due to a temperature change, and a gap may be formed between the glass G and the glass G to fail to function. Furthermore, since it is attached as a separate member, the cost is high.

Therefore, the illegal game prevention member 6 in the present embodiment has a concave portion 61 which forms the outlet 22 in the central portion.
Is a member having a substantially semicircular front view shape.
Further, the illegal game prevention member 6 has a flat plate portion 62 that functions as the inner rail 32, as shown in FIG.
