DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a glass window in a pachinko game machine, and more particularly, to a glass window for protecting a game board set in the machine and capable of developing a pachinko game in a see-through manner.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In a pachinko game machine represented by a pachinko machine and an arrangement ball machine, a game board, a glass window, upper and lower ball trays, a ball launching device, a ball launching device, and a mechanism on the rear side are provided in front of an opening of an outer frame. The entire front frame, on which many game components such as a set board, are installed, is openably and closably and removably assembled to make one unit. When the game is performed in the game hall, the entire front frame is assembled to an outer frame fixedly held in an upright state on an installation frame, which is generally called an “island”, and is used for a game. In such a gaming machine,
The most common form of glass windows used as see-through protective windows for game boards is a metal vertical rectangular window frame set with screws around the opening of the window frame opening formed in the front frame. Inside the metal frame (also called a metal frame), a metal square door frame for inserting and setting two front and rear glass sheets is assembled by connecting the vertical support shafts on one side edge of the door frame and opening horizontally. I have. In addition, the glass windows implemented in each manufacturer's gaming machine,

In the above-mentioned conventional pachinko gaming machine, the glass window installed on the front frame is made of double inner and outer metal by a window frame for an outer frame and a door frame for inserting glass. Due to the composite frame configuration, the entire frame member becomes heavy and complicated, while the glass plate inserted and set in the door frame has a surface that cannot be suitably widened. Moreover, both frame members exhibit high rigidity using a thin metal material, but it is difficult to perform decorative processing such as printing or sticking a sticker on the always exposed metal surface (plated surface). For this reason, both the decorative surface of the front frame surface and the metal surface of the frame member which are actually made have a surface where decorative harmony including colors and patterns cannot be obtained, and it is difficult to upgrade the entire gaming machine. . In addition, when installing glass windows in the manufacturing process of the amusement machine, use a dedicated machine (screw tightening machine) outside the assembly line to accurately place a window frame with a door frame around the window frame opening opening of each front frame. After positioning and setting, a process of tightening many screws is required, which requires considerable labor and skill, it is difficult to improve the productivity, and there is a problem that assembly failure due to poor screw tightening is likely to occur. there were.

Was also a bottleneck. The upper window frame and the door frame are assembled into one frame member product in a state where they are assembled with each other. Frame material products cannot be stacked safely (highly stacked) in a high
(Packing) is also not possible. For this reason, in reality, frame member products are handled in a state where they are bound by a fixed number of units,
For storage, a considerably large space is required. On the other hand, for transportation (transportation), many can not be suitably transported and unloaded at a time, and there is trouble in handling. Under these circumstances, in recent years, a frameless (no window frame) glass window (perspective window) has been newly added that facilitates decorative processing, assembly to the front frame, handling and storage, etc. It is being sought.

Further, in recent pachinko gaming machines, glass windows having a resin molding material are used as glass windows other than those disclosed in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 6-198053 "Vertical ball game machines" already filed by the present applicant. (A) A decorative front frame in which a square window is opened at the center by resin molding in a square size on the front side of an openable door frame assembled to a metal window frame similar to that described above. (B) In an example in which the window frame and the door frame described above are omitted, resin is molded into a square size matching the three peripheral portions of the front frame, and a circular window is opened in the center. A resin-molded decorative plate is assembled and set on the front of the door, and an annular-sized resin glass window, which is set in two circular glass plates in advance, is opened and closed. Frameless type set from the back side at the window of the door body , Been proposed it is being implemented in the manufacturer.

However, any of the above-mentioned glass windows (a) and (b) can be decorated with a decorative effect on the surface and can achieve a certain decorative effect. However, it is necessary to assemble too many components. Therefore, there are many problems inherent in that the production is time-consuming, heavy and expensive, and that the storage, handling, packing (packing), transportation and the like are troublesome. For this reason, those skilled in the art still have a face that cannot be effectively used, and there is a strong demand for a frameless glass door that is lightweight, inexpensive, and easy to handle.
