In FIG. 5 showing another embodiment, 2
Reference numeral 0 denotes a side frame body constituting an outer frame, and a pair of left and right vertical plates 6a, 6
b. On the surface of the vertical plate 6b of the side frame 20 on the front side of the pachinko machine, a decorative member 21 which is an embodiment of an auxiliary member is covered. The decorative member 21 is composed of the same decorative member 21 (decorative plate, surface member, decorative surface) as the decorative member (for example, decorative plate) that covers the surface of the front frame 4 of the pachinko machine. The surface of the front frame and the surface of the side frame 20 are integrally formed by the same decorative member 21 in appearance.

Therefore, with respect to the outer frame 2 (first outer frame) of the Kanto area specification having a small width, the decorative member 21 is not covered on the surface of the side frame 20 and the width of the outer frame 2 matches the width. The front frame 4 to be mounted is mounted. On the other hand, a side frame 20 of the outer frame 2 is provided on the outer frame (second outer frame) of the Kansai frame specification having a large width.
On the front surface, the same (auxiliary member) decorative member as the decorative member 21 that covers the surface of the front frame 4 is covered. The front frame 4 is mounted on the outer frame 2 with the decorative member 21 on the surface of the side frame 20 of the outer frame 2 exposed forward.

In this way, there is an effect that the assembling step for attaching the auxiliary member to the excerpt 2 becomes unnecessary. Alternatively, the front frame 4 and the outer frame 2 may be formed of a synthetic resin material. In this way, it is possible to easily cope with a stepped portion which may be formed between the outer frame 2 and the front frame 4.

The front of the side frame of the outer frame 2 or the side frame 20
The whole or the outer frame 2 is formed by the auxiliary member 21 because the single front frame 4 is formed to have different widths by the cover means for covering the front of the pachinko machine (the front frame 4 and the outer frame 2). The invention may be considered as an invention that can be shared by the first outer frame 2 and the second outer frame 2.

Further, by providing the excerpt 2 as the first front cover means of the pachinko machine, the front frame 4 as the second front cover means of the pachinko machine, and providing the first cover means and the second cover means, The invention may be configured such that a single front frame 4 can be shared with the outer frames 2 having different widths.

As another embodiment of the present invention, an auxiliary member for complementing a notch formed when the width of the front frame 4 does not coincide with the width of the outer frame 2 is attached to the front end of the front surface 4 so as to form a single unit. The front frame 4 having a small (short) lateral width can be shared by the outer frames 2 having different long and short lateral widths.

When the width of the front frame 4 shared by the outer frame 2 having a large width is small, the front frame 4 is formed on the surface of the front frame 4 (when a sealing member or the like described later is mounted on the surface of the front frame). No special processing is required on the front frame 4
It is sufficient to secure the formation of the surface area for attaching the seal member on the front surface. Insufficient width (missing portion, missing portion, gap) of the outer frame 2 at the front exposed portion of the outer frame 2 that appears between the outer frame 2 and the front frame 4 on the auxiliary member mounting surface. ) Is installed in a state where it is covered.

A missing portion and a gap (protruding portion of the width of the outer frame 2 exceeding the side edge of the front frame 4) appearing because the width of the front frame 4 is less than the width of the outer frame 2 are formed by auxiliary members. Is covered by an auxiliary portion (a portion extending in a tongue shape) protruding from the front surface side of the front frame 4.

Accordingly, the exposed front surface of the wooden body (gap, missing) of the outer frame 2 caused by the width of the outer frame 2 exceeding the width of the front frame 4 is mounted on the surface of the front frame 4. By being concealed by the auxiliary member, the auxiliary member compensates for the lack of the width of the front frame, and the outer frame 2 having a large width
The front frame 4 having a small width can be commonly used.

In this case, as a means for mounting the auxiliary member on the surface of the front frame 4, an adhesive, a double-sided tape-shaped means, an auxiliary member mounting hole is provided on the surface of the front frame 4, and the auxiliary member mounting hole is provided in the auxiliary member mounting hole. And a means for attaching an auxiliary member made of a seal-like thin plate to the front frame 4 so as to cover the missing portion, the gap, and the missing portion.

The time when these auxiliary members are provided on the pachinko machine and the front frame 4 is not only during the manufacture of the pachinko machine, but also after the pachinko machine is installed on the game arcade and then provided on the front frame via the island structure of the game arcade. Things are also possible.

If the auxiliary member is made of the same (similar) lumber as a melamine resin (decola plate) vinyl chloride resin or the like used as a surface material of the pachinko machine front frame 4,
The auxiliary member and the front frame 4 and the outer frame 2 can be integrated, and a heterogeneous feeling and a heterogeneous feeling caused by providing the auxiliary member on the front frame 4 can be achieved.
The effect of removing inconsistency is produced.
