[0003]

The variable display device 3 described above.
Since the pachinko ball flow path cannot be formed on the front surface (display surface), the eave-shaped convex portion 3a is provided in the upper portion so as to distribute the pachinko ball to the left and right. Therefore, the game area 1a
Therefore, it is necessary to secure the flow path R of the pachinko balls on both sides of the variable display device 3, which has been an obstacle for increasing the display size of the variable display device 3.

The present invention has been made in view of the above, and an object thereof is to provide a game board in which a game display panel can be expanded to a maximum game area.

[0005]

In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, the present invention forms a transparent resin layer having a property and thickness capable of driving an obstacle nail on the front side and forming a foamed resin layer on the back side. Then, the total thickness of at least the peripheral portion is set to be approximately the same as that of a normal game board, and a window hole reaching the transparent resin layer is formed in a part of the foamed resin layer excluding the peripheral portion, and the liquid crystal is formed in the window hole. Provide a game board for a pachinko machine that has a display panel for games such as.

[0006]

[Function] An obstacle nail can be freely driven into the transparent resin layer on the front side anywhere. And since the gaming display panel is also covered with the transparent resin layer, it is possible to form the flow path of the pachinko ball on the front surface of the gaming display panel.
The game display panel can be expanded to fill the game area. Also, since the total thickness of the game board at least at the peripheral edge is set to be approximately the same as a normal game board,
It can also be installed as is on existing pachinko machines.

[0007]

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. 1 is a cross-sectional plan view of the pachinko machine, FIG. 2 is a perspective view of the game board seen from the back side, and FIG. 3 is a front view of the pachinko machine.

The pachinko machine P has an outer frame 8 with a square frame.
And a front frame 7 rotatably hinged to the front of the outer frame 8 thereof. The front frame 7 has a game plate 1 and a mechanism plate 20.
And most other parts are attached. The front frame 7 has a frame shape having a square window hole 9, and as shown in FIG. 1, a game board mounting frame 10 is provided on the back side so as to surround the periphery of the window hole 9, and the game is carried out. The peripheral edge of the game board 1 is clamped and fixed by a known rotary clamp 11 provided on the board mounting frame 10.

On the other hand, the game board 1 is made of synthetic resin, and as shown in FIG. 2, the back side is a foamed resin layer 12 made of hard vinyl chloride low-foamed resin, and the front side is made of a transparent amorphous polyester resin. It is the transparent resin layer 13, and both layers 12, 13
The total thickness of is set to about the same as a normal game board. The amorphous polyester resin forming the transparent resin layer 13 has a characteristic that it does not break even when the obstacle nails 5, 5 ... Or the windmills 6, 6 ... Are driven, and has properties similar to those of the conventional veneer plate. Further, the thickness of the transparent resin layer 13 is set to be slightly larger than the driving depth of the obstacle nails 5, 5, .... Therefore, the nailing point is marked with a punch and the obstacle nails 5, 5, ...
It is possible to make the game board 1 by a conventional method such as hitting ..., and it is also possible to perform daily nail adjustment.

The low-foam resin forming the foam resin layer 12 is
It is moldable, has good workability, and has properties similar to those of a veneer plate, like the transparent resin layer 13. Therefore, on the back surface of the game board 1, for example, a groove 14 for wiring (see FIG. 2)
It is possible to perform complicated processing such as mounting of other parts (winner ball collection cover 21 etc.), or a guide gutter for prize balls integrally, and also screwing or hammering wood screws or nails freely. be able to. This foamed resin layer 12
A horizontally long rectangular window hole 12a that substantially crosses a game area 1a, which will be described later, is formed in the liquid crystal display panel 2 for games. The window hole 12a penetrates the foamed resin layer 12 to reach the transparent resin layer 13, and the gaming display panel 2 can be seen through from the front of the gaming board 1. Further, the game display panel 2 is a drive unit (not shown) connected to a game control device (not shown).
Are connected by a lead wire passed through the wiring groove 14 to visually display numbers and symbols related to the game contents. The display color may be one color or multiple colors.

Since the winning ball collecting cover 21 is covered on the rear surface of the game board 1 and a passage 22 for winning balls is provided, when the gaming display panel 2 is projected on the rear surface of the game board 1, the passage is formed. 22 obstacles. Therefore, it is convenient that the gaming display panel 2 can be made thinner by using a reflection type liquid crystal which does not require a backlight or an edge light type liquid crystal.
However, since there are many functional restrictions such as color display is difficult with a liquid crystal without a backlight, there is a case where a liquid crystal with a backlight is desired to be adopted. In such cases,
As shown in FIG. 2, a taper portion 2a may be provided on the upper edge of the rear surface of the gaming display panel 2 so that the winning balls flow over the gaming display panel 2. Of course, it is necessary to secure the passage 22 of the winning balls as well by forming the winning ball collecting cover 21 into a shape that matches the gaming display panel 2. However, if the display size of the game display panel 2 is as small as that of the conventional variable display device 3, there is sufficient space on both sides of the prize ball collecting cover 21 to secure the passage 22 for the prize balls, and thus the protrusions. The size of does not matter.

A game area 1a having a substantially circular shape is formed on the front surface of the game board 1 by the guide rail 15 as in the conventional game board, and the winning device 4 and a large number of obstacles are formed in the game area 1a. The nails 5, 5 ... Or the windmills 6, 6 ... Are attached. At the mounting position of the winning device 4, a through hole 16 for guiding a pachinko ball is formed so as to penetrate the transparent resin layer 13 and the foamed resin layer 12. The through hole 16 is a transparent resin layer 13
The foamed resin layer 12 and the foamed resin layer 12 may be formed in a combined state, or they may be processed before they are combined to be matched with each other. In the case of the latter, the foamed resin layer 12 can process the through hole 16 at the time of mold molding. The same applies to the out ball opening 17 and the prize ball outlet 18 of the game board 1.

The pachinko machine P shown in FIG. 3 has obstacle nails 5, 5 ... on the transparent resin layer 13 on the front surface of the game display panel 2.
And the windmills 6, 6 ... are driven in, and the game display panel 2
The entire front surface of is the flow path R of the pachinko ball. In addition,
In FIG. 3, all the winning devices 4 are provided on the outer periphery of the gaming display panel 2, but as shown in FIG. 4, which will be described later, the gaming display panel 2 is provided with the through holes 16 and the winning device 4 is installed therein. You can also do it. By doing so, the game display panel 2 can cover the entire game area 1a, and the game can be performed on a grand scale. For example, in a horse racing game in which a horse character is used for competition, if the horse character is moved along the guide rails 15 in the game area 1a, the power of the game is far greater than that of the conventional game. Further, even in a slot machine type game in which a plurality of numbers and figures are combined, if the entire area of the game area 1a is used, the display becomes large and it is easy to see and powerful.

Although the present invention has been described with reference to the embodiments, the present invention is of course not limited to the above embodiments. For example, in the embodiment, a liquid crystal is illustrated as the game display panel 2, but any other function such as an LED, an ordinary cathode ray tube, a plasma display, etc., which has a function of visually changing numbers and patterns on a plane, can be used. It may be one. In the embodiment, the transparent resin layer 13 and the foamed resin layer 12 have the same shape and are bonded to each other.
The foamed resin layer 12 may be formed to the thickness of the game board 1 as shown in, and the recess 19 may be provided in the front surface of the foamed resin layer 12 and the transparent resin layer 13 may be fitted therein.

Incidentally, the variable display device 300 itself may be configured as shown in FIG. 5 as a technical means for achieving the same object as the present invention. That is, the variable display device of the pachinko machine is characterized in that the display window portion 301 is covered with the transparent resin plate 130 having a property and thickness capable of driving the obstacle nails 5. The transparent resin plate 130 is a synthetic resin of the same material as the transparent resin layer 13. Further, the display window portion 301 is a space corresponding to the front surface of the game display panel 200 of the variable display device 300. In addition, in FIG. 5, reference numeral 302 is a mounting substrate of the variable display device 300, and 303 is a back cover protruding from the back side of the mounting substrate 302.

Thus, the variable display device 300 as described above.
By covering the display window portion 301 with the transparent resin plate 130, it is possible to drive obstacle nails 5, 5 ... Or to provide windmills 6, 6 ... With the present invention. Similarly, it is possible to increase the display size of numbers and patterns, and it is also possible to make the flow path of the pachinko ball unprecedented change even when the display size is not increased. Further, the variable display device 300
Has a usefulness applicable to the veneer game board 100.

[0017]

According to the present invention, since a pachinko ball flow path can be formed by driving an obstacle nail or a windmill on the front surface of the gaming display panel, the gaming display panel can be expanded to fill the gaming area. it can. In addition, even if the display size is not increased, it is possible to give the pachinko ball a flow path that has not been changed in the past. Furthermore, since the total thickness of the game board is set to be approximately the same as that of a normal game board at least in the peripheral portion, it is possible to install it on an existing pachinko machine as it is.
