DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

The present invention relates to a pachinko machine,
More specifically, the present invention relates to a technology for decorating a lamp for a game machine provided in a pachinko machine.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In recent years, with the diversification and complexity of pachinko games, the pachinko machines themselves have been decorated.
In particular, attention has been paid to the visual effect of light in order to create a sense of reality according to the content and situation of the pachinko game, and many lamps (including small light bulbs, LEDs, fluorescent tubes, and other light sources; the same applies hereinafter). Pachinko machines, in particular, have been equipped inside and outside the game board. At present, various types of lamps and lamp substrates are also incorporated in large display devices (such as a central display) and prize devices (such as a variable prize device called an attacker) mounted on a game board of a pachinko machine. On / off control of lamp lighting is performed according to the state of the pachinko game.

[0003] By the way, a prize-winning device or other game device equipped with a lamp (including a decoration device (decorative lamp) whose main purpose is to turn on the lamp itself. These are hereinafter collectively referred to as a "game device with a lamp"). From the viewpoint of preventing the lamp from being damaged due to contact between the lamp and a game ball or a player, the lamp is usually covered with a cover plate or other protective member made of a transparent or translucent light transmitting material. Further, from the viewpoint of improving the aesthetic appearance, a decorative portion such as a front plate on which a moderate decoration is formed is attached to the front surface of the protective member in close contact with the protective member. In addition to having a decorative effect of making the protective member invisible from the outside, the decorative portion plays an important role of producing a unique light decorative effect in the gaming machine with the lamp according to its color tone and cutting. ing.

For example, as a typical example, as shown in FIG.
In the conventional prize-winning device with a lamp mounted on the game board surface of the pachinko machine, the front side of the base plate 62 attached closely to the game board (that is, the front side of the pachinko machine when the game board 1 is mounted on the pachinko machine body). The same applies to the following.), A lamp mounting portion 60 is provided, and a lamp 70 is arranged at the relevant portion. Around the lamp 70, a bowl-shaped protective member 64 is wrapped around the lamp 70.
Are mounted by screws v or the like. As a result, the lamp 70 is completely shut off from the outside, and the lamp 70 does not come into contact with the pachinko ball ejected on the game board surface, thereby preventing the lamp 70 from being damaged. As shown in FIG. 7, a decorative member 66 (generally called a front plate) for decorating the winning device is closely attached to the top plate portion 64a of the protective member 64. As a result, the protection member 64 is shielded and invisible from the player located in front of the pachinko machine, and as a result, the appearance of the protection device 64 is not spoiled by the exposure of the protection member 64. In addition,
In order to realize the light decoration effect of the lamp 70, the protection member 64 and the decoration member (front plate) 66 are both formed of a light-transmitting member (typically, a molded product made of a translucent synthetic resin). ing.

[0005]

By the way, in the conventional gaming machine with a lamp as shown in FIG. 7, the protective member 64 and the decorative member 66 come into close contact with each other, so that when the lamp 70 is turned on, the protective member 64 is turned on. Outline (silhouette)
Is projected on the front surface of the decorative member 66. For this reason, the original decorative effect of the decorative member 66 may be impaired. Further, as is apparent from FIG. 7, in the conventional gaming machine with a lamp, a portion of the decorative member 66 to which light is irradiated is limited to a contact portion of the decorative member 66 with the protective member 64 and the top plate 64a. I have. From the above, in the conventional gaming machine with a lamp, the decorative member 6
When viewed from the front side of 6, a portion that shines by transmitting the lamp light applied to the decorative member 66 (hereinafter referred to as a “light emitting portion” for convenience) is limited, and There is a risk that the player may be clearly distinguished from the other parts. However, such limitation of the light emitting portion and discrimination between the light emitting portion and the non-light emitting portion,
It is not preferable because the light decoration effect accompanying the pachinko game is halved.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made in view of the foregoing, and an object of the present invention is to limit the above-mentioned light emitting portion and suppress discrimination between the light emitting portion and the non-light emitting portion, and provide a game with a lamp. It is an object of the present invention to provide a gaming machine capable of illuminating a decorative portion provided on the front surface of the device almost uniformly, and a pachinko machine equipped with such a device.

[0007]

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a game machine with a lamp mounted on a pachinko machine, wherein the game device includes a lamp and a lamp provided around the lamp. And a decorative part capable of transmitting light from the lamp, and the decorative part shields the lamp mounting part when viewed from the front side of the pachinko machine. The lamp is provided on the front side of the device in a state where light from the lamp can be transmitted, and the decorative portion is a gap between the decorative portion and the lamp mounting portion through which light from the lamp can be radiated to the outside. (Hereinafter referred to as "the first gaming machine of the present invention").

[0008] In this specification, the term "pachinko machine" is a general term for gaming machines for performing so-called pachinko games in a game hall (hall), and is not limited to gaming machines having a specific shape. Therefore, besides a ball game machine for performing a general pachinko game (typically a game in which a steel ball is inserted into a predetermined winning opening on a game board surface to obtain a predetermined prize ball), a so-called arrange ball game or the like is used. A game machine or a pachislot machine that performs the game is also included in the “pachinko machine” in this specification.

In the first gaming machine of the present invention, the decorative portion is provided without closely adhering to the lamp mounting portion so that a gap is secured between the decorative portion and the lamp mounting portion. The light from the lamp mounted on the lamp mounting part is irradiated on the back side of the decorative part and leaks outside through the gap. For this reason, according to the first gaming machine of the present invention, the part irradiated by the lamp in the decorative part is not limited by the protective member, and one lamp can irradiate a wider range of the decorative part with one lamp. it can. Further, since the lamp mounting portion does not adhere to the decorative portion, the aesthetic defect of the gaming machine in which the outline of the lamp mounting portion (typically a protective member) is projected on the front of the decorative portion when the lamp is turned on is eliminated. However, it is possible to prevent the light emitting portion and the non-light emitting portion of the decorative portion from being clearly identified by the player. Therefore, according to the pachinko machine equipped with the first gaming machine of the present invention, it is possible to produce a light decoration effect having an excellent texture according to the situation of the pachinko game.

[0010] Further, the present invention provides a more preferable gaming machine with a lamp, in the above-mentioned first gaming machine of the present invention, wherein the lamp mounting portion is opened above a lamp mounted on the mounting portion. A game device with a lamp (hereinafter referred to as a "second game device of the present invention") in which light from the lamp can be directly radiated to the back side of the decorative portion.
That. )I will provide a.

In the second gaming machine of the present invention, since the light from the lamp is not blocked by the protective member and other constituent members of the lamp mounting portion, the back side of the decorative portion can be directly illuminated. . For this reason, according to the second gaming machine of the present invention, in addition to having the same effects as those of the above-described first gaming machine of the present invention, the attenuation of the lamp illuminance can be suppressed. For this reason, even if a lamp having the same performance as that of the related art is used, the decorative portion irradiation area can be further enlarged and brightened than before. Therefore, according to the pachinko machine equipped with the second game device of the present invention, it is possible to produce a light decoration effect having a further excellent texture according to the situation of the pachinko game. Further, since the upper part of the lamp is open, the heat generated by the lamp can be dissipated to the outside. Therefore, according to the second gaming machine of the present invention, a high heat radiation effect can be obtained in the lamp mounting portion.

According to a further preferred embodiment of the present invention, in the first or second gaming machine of the present invention described above, the irradiated light may be diffused on the back side of the decorative portion. A game device with a lamp, which is provided with a concave and convex process (hereinafter referred to as a "third game device of the present invention"). In the third gaming machine of the present invention, since the irregularity processing (typically, embossing) is performed on the back surface portion of the decorative portion, the light applied to the portion is diffused (scattered) in a wider range. Can be. For this reason, according to the third gaming machine of the present invention, in addition to having the same effect as the above-described first or second gaming machine of the present invention, the decorative portion emits light when viewed from the front of the pachinko machine. It is possible to further enlarge and homogenize the part recognized as being present.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Preferred embodiments of a game machine with a lamp of the present invention (including the first, second and third game machines of the present invention; hereinafter the same) will be described with reference to the drawings. explain. FIG. 1 is a front view showing an outline of a gaming machine 1 for a pachinko machine equipped with a prize-winning device 20 with a lamp embodying the gaming device with a lamp of the present invention in the present embodiment (hereinafter, referred to as “winning device 20”). FIG.

As shown in FIG. 1, a game board 1 according to this embodiment has a flat plate-like panel member 1a and a flat plate-like panel member 1a similar to a conventional one mounted on a general pachinko machine. A variety of gaming structures to be described later attached
And devices. This panel member 1a
As shown in FIG. 5 described later, a wooden board 11 serving as a base
(Typically, a plywood) is attached with a print sheet 16 typically subjected to print processing. That is, as shown in FIG. 5, the print sheet 16 forms a print layer 14 of typically 4 to 6 colors for coloring the surface of the game board 1 on the back surface of the celluloid film 15, and Then, a white print layer 13 for preventing color bleeding is formed.
Next, a paper material 12 is pasted thereon as a sheet member. Thus, the panel member 1a is constructed by attaching the produced printing sheet 16 to the wooden board 11. As a result of constructing the panel member 1a in this manner, a glossy and vivid pattern (hereinafter, referred to as a "cell pattern") can be represented on the surface of the game board 1. In the present embodiment, translucent Japanese paper is used as the paper material 12 in place of opaque high-quality paper commonly used in conventional game boards.
This will be described later.

On the front surface of the panel member 1a of the game board 1 constructed as described above, a pachinko ball fired from a firing device (not shown) of a pachinko machine is guided to an upper portion of the game board 1. The guide rail 9 is mounted in a circular spiral shape. The inner area surrounded by the guide rail 9 is a game area in the present game board 1. A large central display device 2 decorated in the shape of an ancient Japanese company is incorporated in the center of the game area. This central display 2
Is provided with a liquid crystal display 2a for displaying various special symbols. Above the liquid crystal display 2a, there is provided a normal symbol display section 2b provided with a 7-segment LED (not shown). Thus, below the central display device 2, a main winning device 20 having a large winning opening 22 and normal winning openings 23 and 24 is mounted. Details of the winning device 20 will be described later. On the back side of the game board 1, a plurality of cylindrical back guide paths (ball passages) are provided so as to correspond to the above-mentioned various winning ports similar to the conventional gaming board. The winning balls guided to the back side of the board 1 are sent to a ball feeding mechanism (not shown) provided in the pachinko machine main body.

As shown in FIG. 1, around the central display device 2, in addition to the prize winning device 20, various game structures for determining the contents of the pachinko game in the game board 1 are arranged. That is, a large number of game nails 8 and windmills 6 for adjusting the falling speed and direction of the game balls ejected on the game board 1.
A and 6b, on both sides of the liquid crystal display 2a, a normal symbol change (for example, 7-segment LE) in the ordinary symbol display section 2b of the central display device 2 due to the passage of a game ball.
There is provided a gate 2c for starting the change of the number due to D, and a starting port (here, a first type starting port) for starting the special symbol change in the central display device 2.
And a normal winning device 3b forming a normal winning opening. In the center of the lower end of the game area, an out port 5 for collecting game balls that have not won any of the winning ports is provided.
On the other hand, a plurality of decorative lamps 4a, 4b, and 4c each having a lamp 7 therein are provided above and outside the game area, so that a player can enjoy the eyes of a player during a pachinko game while enjoying the beauty of the game board 1. Contribute to improve. The present gaming board 1 configured as described above is for performing a so-called first-class pachinko game, and the operations of the various gaming machines (including the prize winning device 10) described above are provided on the pachinko machine main body. It is controlled by a control device (not shown) according to the progress of the game content. Since the contents of the pachinko game itself are not related to the present invention at all, detailed description is omitted. The implementation of the present invention is not limited by the content of the game.

The gaming board 1 embodies another invention relating to the light decoration effect of a pachinko machine having a concept different from that of the above-described gaming machine with a lamp. This will be described below. As shown in FIGS. 1 and 5, at both ends of the center of the game area of the game board 1 (that is, immediately inside the guide rail 9), a ramp 1 is provided on the back side of the game board 1.
9 are arranged. Thus, by turning on the lamp 19, the cell pattern in the relevant portion can be illuminated. Hereinafter, this will be described in detail. As shown in FIG. 5, the panel member 1 is provided at both ends of the center of the game area.
An opening 11a is formed in the wooden board 11 that constitutes a.
On the other hand, on the back surface of the game board corresponding to the opening 11a, a lamp board 17 is attached to a surface of a member arranged on the back face of the game board 1 such as the back guide path 18, and a part of the lamp board 17 is provided. Is inserted into the opening (in this embodiment, two lamps 19 are arranged for one opening 11a).

On the other hand, the position corresponding to the opening 11a in the printing sheet 16 to be attached to the wooden board 11 is not subjected to the white printing (opacity), and as a result, the light transmitting portion 13a is provided at the position. It is formed as a spot. Further, as described above, in this embodiment, translucent Japanese paper is used as the paper material 12, and the print layer 14 formed on the celluloid film 15 is also translucent. From the above, in the present gaming board 1, the panel member 1a
Since there is no member that completely blocks the light emitted from the lamp 19 in the portion where the opening 11a is provided, the lamp light can be transmitted to the front side of the panel member 1a. Therefore, in the present gaming board 1, the cell pattern portion corresponding to the opening 11a can be illuminated when viewed from the front of the pachinko machine, and the portion can be raised from other cell pattern portions. Therefore, the light decoration effect in the pachinko game can be further enhanced by implementing the above-described means relating to the cell pattern light emission which is another invention different from the gaming machine with a lamp of the present invention. One of the reasons for using the paper material 12 made of the above-mentioned Japanese paper in the practice of the present invention is that the wood board 11 of the panel member 1a based on the fluctuation of humidity is used similarly to the case where the conventional opaque woodfree paper is used. This is from the viewpoint of buffering the expansion and contraction and preventing the printing sheet 16 (typically the celluloid film 15 having the print layer 14) from peeling off from the wooden board 11 due to the expansion and contraction. Therefore, the lightening of the cell pattern is not limited to the Japanese paper, and any sheet member that can transmit light, such as a thin cloth, can be used instead of the paper material 12 made of the Japanese paper. Those having a moderate hygroscopicity and elasticity, such as Japanese paper, are particularly preferable as the sheet member. Further, although the embodiment of the present invention uses the lamp 19 as a light source and the lamp substrate 17 on which the lamp 19 is mounted, the cell pattern itself can be manufactured with the same cost and production equipment as the conventional one, so that the present invention is economical in implementation. There is no problem. For this reason, according to the above-described means relating to cell pattern light emission, high cost and complicated wiring processing is required.
The game board surface can be directly lit easily and at low cost and more effectively than by directly shining the game board surface using an L (electroluminescence) element or the like.

Hereinafter, the prize-winning device 20 which embodies the gaming machine with a lamp of the present invention will be described in detail. FIG. 2 is a front view showing the external appearance of the winning device 20. As shown in FIG. 1, the prize winning device 20 is a relatively large prize winning device 20 mounted so as to occupy substantially the full width of the game board 1 in the lower part of the game board 1. Thus, FIG.
As shown in FIG. 2, the winning device 20 includes a base plate 26 made of a synthetic resin or metal formed in a flat plate shape. The base plate 26 is provided with lamp mounting portions 32a, 32
b, 32c and a pedestal on which the front plate 30 and other structures constituting the decorative portion according to the present embodiment can be equipped. A suitable number of holes 25 for screwing are provided in the peripheral portion of the base plate 26. Thus, the winning device 20 can be screwed on the front side of the game board 1 so as to cover an opening (not shown) provided in the game board 1 in advance (see FIG. 1).

As shown in FIG. 3, a large winning opening 22 is provided at a slightly upper portion of the center of the base plate 26. The large winning opening 22 is normally closed by a flat door member 22a, and the opening and closing of the door member 22a is controlled in accordance with the state of the pachinko game (here, the first type pachinko game). On both sides of the special winning opening 22, a normal winning opening 23,
24 are provided. Thus, when the prize winning device 20 is mounted on the game board 1, these prize ports 22, 23, 24
Is connected to the above-mentioned back taxiway (not shown), whereby the path of the winning ball is secured. On the other hand, on the front surface of the base plate 26, a front plate 30 constituting the decorative portion according to the present embodiment is mounted almost completely so as to surround the special winning opening 22. That is, as shown in FIG. 3, on the front surface of the base plate 26, three in each of the left and right directions of the special winning opening 22 and two below the special winning opening 22,
A total of eight mounting bosses 35 of the same shape are protruded, and the front plate 30 is fixed to the top end of the mounting boss 35 by a screw v (typically a countersunk screw) (described later). (See FIG. 4). In addition, from the viewpoint of maintaining the aesthetic appearance of the prize winning device 20, decorative seals 39a and 39b are usually attached to the screwed portion of the front plate. Further, the front plate 30 according to the present embodiment is a molded product made of a translucent synthetic resin capable of transmitting light, and is subjected to a graining process at the time of molding (ie, formed by a grained mold). By doing so, fine irregularities are formed on the entire back surface. As a result, the front plate 30
Light applied to a predetermined portion on the back surface can be transmitted to the front side while being diffused around the portion. For this reason, in the front plate 30 according to the present embodiment, a front part wider than the back part irradiated with light can be a light emitting part.

Next, the lamp mounting portions 32a, 32b and 32c provided in the winning device 20 will be described. FIG.
As shown in the figure, fence-shaped protective walls 36a, 36b, 36c corresponding to the protective members according to the present embodiment are provided so as to completely surround the mounting boss 35 in both the left and right directions and below the special winning opening 22. Is the base plate 26
It protrudes from the front. In addition, these protective walls 36a, 3
6b and 36c are shielded by the front plate 30 so that they cannot be seen from the front of the pachinko machine. For this reason, even if these protective walls 36a, 36b, 36c are provided, the appearance of the winning device 20 will not be impaired by the provision. Thus, as shown in FIG. 4 which is a cross-sectional view taken along the line AA of FIG. 2, these protective walls 36a, 36b, 36c
Is designed to be a height that can hinder the progress of the game ball, and is lower than the height of the mounting boss 35. Further, as is apparent from FIG.
Top plates (so-called ceilings) are not provided at a, 36b, and 36c. Therefore, the front plate 30 attached to the attachment boss 35 and the protective walls 36a, 36b, 3
6c, which prevents the game balls flowing down on the surface of the game board 1 from entering the inner area surrounded by the protective walls 36a, 36b, 36c. , 36b, 36c are formed such that the light generated inside can be diffused to the outside. On the other hand, FIG.
As shown in FIG.
a, 36b, and 36c, a lamp hole 34 for passing a lamp 40 (here, a general small light bulb; see FIG. 4) from the back side of the base plate 26 in the left-right direction of the special winning opening 22. 2 and one directly below the special winning opening 22.

As shown in FIG. 4, the lamp mounting portions 32a, 32b and 32c according to the present embodiment
The lamp 40 mounted on a lamp board (not shown) provided on the back side of the winning device 20 is inserted into the lamp hole 34 and a part thereof is exposed on the front side of the base plate 26.

By configuring the lamp mounting portions 32a, 32b, and 32c as described above, when the lamp 40 is turned on in the winning device 20, the lamp light is applied to the back surface of the front plate 30 having fine irregularities formed by graining. Irradiated directly.
At this time, as shown in FIG. 4, in the final winning device 20, the protective walls 36a, 36b, 36c and the protective walls 3
A gap is provided between the front plate 30 disposed above the pachinko machine 6a, 36b, and 36c so as to shield the 6a, 36b, and 36c from the front, so that the light from the lamp 40 can be radiated to the outside. I have. Then, the lamp light is radiated from the gap to the outside, so that the light irradiation portion on the back surface side of the front plate 30 is located at a position corresponding to the inside of the protective walls 36a, 36b, 36c (the lamp mounting portions 32a, 32b, 32c). Without being limited, the protective walls 36a, 36b, 3
6c. Thus, the light radiated to the portions corresponding to the outside of the protective walls 36a, 36b, 36c is further diffused by the uneven pattern formed on the back surface of the front plate 30 based on the graining process and spreads to the surroundings. The light can pass through the plate 30.

From the above, in the present winning device 20, by providing the above-mentioned gap, the irradiation area of the lamp light also spreads outside each of the protective walls 36a, 36b, 36c.
As a result, the protective walls 36a, 36b,
36c can be prevented from being projected. At this time, as described above, the protection walls 36a, 3
Since the top plate portions are not provided in 6b and 36c, the back light of the front plate 30 can be directly irradiated with the high-intensity lamp light as it is. For this reason, as compared with the conventional prize-winning device equipped with a sealed protective member and other game machines with a lamp (see FIG. 7 described above), even if the same lamp as the conventional one is used, the front plate 30 (that is, the decorative portion) can be used. ) Can make the front side brighter than the conventional one. In addition, the prize winning device 2
In the case of 0, the irradiated lamp light can be diffused over a wide area by the back surface of the front plate 30 that has been subjected to the graining process. Therefore, when viewed from the front of the pachinko machine, the part of the front plate 30 that is recognized as emitting light is further increased. It can be enlarged and homogenized. Also, like the winning device 20, the protective wall 36
a, 36b, and 36c and the front plate 30, in addition to providing a gap between the protective walls 36a, 36b, and 36c,
By opening the upper part of the lamp 40, the lamp mounting part 32 is opened.
The heat radiation effect of the lamps 40a, 32b and 32c can be further enhanced.

Is constructed such that a part thereof is exposed to the front side of the base plate 42 while penetrating the lamp hole 49. As a result of configuring the lamp mounting portion 46 as described above, the decorative lamp 41
In the same manner as in the above-mentioned final winning device 20, the lamps 50, 5
When the lamp 1 is turned on, the lamp light is directly radiated to the back surface of the decorative plate 43 and diffuses outside through a gap (see FIG. 6B) formed between the decorative plate 43 and the protective wall 45. Is done. Thereby, the light irradiation site on the back side of the decorative plate 43 is located inside the protective wall 45 (that is, the lamp mounting portion 4).
It is not limited to the part corresponding to 6), but extends to the part corresponding to the outside of the protection wall 45. Then, the light applied to the portion corresponding to the outside of the protection wall 45 is further diffused by the uneven pattern formed on the back surface of the decorative plate 43 by the graining process, and transmits through the decorative plate 43 while spreading around. .

Therefore, the decorative wall 41 is also provided on the front side of the decorative plate 43 by the decorative lamp 41 in the same manner as in the above-mentioned final winning device 20.
Can be prevented from being projected. Further, since the top wall is not provided on the protective wall 45, it is possible to directly irradiate high-intensity lamp light directly to the back surface of the decorative plate 43. For this reason, the front side of the decorative plate 43 can be illuminated more vividly by the same lamp as compared with a conventional decorative lamp having a sealed protective member. Further, in the present decorative lamp 41, since the irradiated lamp light can be diffused widely by the back surface of the decorative plate 43 subjected to the graining, it is recognized that the decorative plate 43 emits light when viewed from the front of the pachinko machine. The part to be formed can be further enlarged and homogenized. In addition, as in the case of the prize-winning device 20, by providing the gap, the heat radiation effect in the lamp mounting portion 46 can be enhanced.
