Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a holding frame in a pachinko gaming machine, and more particularly to a holding frame capable of detachably holding a required gaming board as a set on the back side of the front frame of the pachinko gaming machine. .

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In a pachinko machine, which is a typical example of a pachinko game machine, a pachinko ball for a game (also referred to as a game ball) in a ball dish is performed by a related operation of a ball feeding device and a hitting ball launching device based on a game operation. ) Is struck one by one into the game area of the game board, and the game balls in the game area are divided into out balls that have entered the out mouth and prize balls (also called safe balls) that have entered various winning equipment. It Then, in the mechanism set board S on the back side schematically shown in FIG. 18, the out balls are processed from the discharge path 67, while the winning balls are processed by the processing device 61 one by one. By operating the device 62 once, a predetermined number of prize balls are paid out. Then, the prize balls discharged into the discharge chamber 63 are preferentially discharged from the discharge port 65 of the first discharge passage 64 to the upper ball dish, and after the predetermined portion of the first discharge passage 64 is filled with the prize balls. , A second discharge path 66 branched and connected to the downstream side of the discharge path 64
It is designed to be discharged from the bottom to the bowl below.

[0003]

However, the conventional generalized pachinko machine as described above is related to the discharge form of prize balls on the assumption that the upper and lower ball plates are provided. , There was a side that was confined to the idea of discharging each bowl side by a separate route. For this reason, in the conventional pachinko machine, the prize-ball discharging mode in the mechanism set board S as shown in FIG. 18 is adopted, and the first discharging path 64 and the second discharging path 66 are provided in the downstream portion of the discharging chamber 63. Are branched and communicated in different directions, and the first discharge path 64 is moved to the upper dish side,
Further, the entire prize ball discharge path is configured based on the technical idea that the second discharge path 66 should be communicated with the lower bowl side, respectively.

However, in such a prize ball discharge mode, there has been a large restriction when viewed from the structural aspect of the entire mechanism set board S, and by extension, the entire pachinko machine. That is, as can be understood from FIG. 18, the size of the mechanism setting board S is naturally limited to a size that can be mounted and set on the back side of the front frame in consideration of the entire machine. And, as the most general type, a window (for checking the back side of the game board) 68 of a size that can correspond to the back side of the game area is largely opened in the central portion, and in the peripheral portion of this window 68, While various components such as the above-mentioned processing of out-balls and winning-balls, storage and discharge of prize-balls, and various components necessary for storing, etc. are integrated, various electrical control devices, etc. are equipped. It has become so. In particular, the outlet 6 that communicates with the upper bowl
The opening position of No. 5 is set to a position closer to the inner side facing a passage opening (not shown) formed in the holding frame on the front side of the mechanism setting board S so as to be aligned and communicate with the ball dish on the upper side. In the lower rear area of the window 68, the downstream end of the prize ball discharge path always passed through the discharge port 65.

The second discharge path 6 in the prize ball discharge path
A considerably large space is used for 6 in consideration of the prize ball storage capacity. Therefore, as a matter of course, a space for installing parts on the mechanism setting board S, particularly the window 68 of the window 68 which is a particularly easy-to-use portion, is used. The space in the lower area 69 has been reduced. For this reason, while absolute miniaturization of various components and parts required for pachinko gaming machines is being demanded, various accessory members related to improvement of functions of the machine itself and service to players are provided. It was considered difficult to install, and it was not possible to effectively utilize the space in the limited size of the mechanism set board.

The present invention has been proposed in order to preferably solve the above-mentioned problems, and the prize balls discharged from the mechanism set board side are sphered on the back surface of the game auxiliary board below the set opening for the game board. The pachinko gaming machine is equipped with a characteristic passage path that can be passed to the plate side, and the back side of the game auxiliary board is effectively used to simplify the mechanism set board and effectively use the space. The purpose is to provide a frame.
