Description

[Detailed explanation of the invention] This invention attaches a metal frame to the periphery of a window with a stylish door shape, and screws a glass door and a front door vertically to one side edge of the metal frame. This invention relates to a vertical game machine such as a pachinko machine or a coin game machine, which is covered with a glass door and a front door so that it can be opened and closed.

In this type of vertical game machine such as a conventional Hatchinko machine or a coin game machine, a retaining groove having a substantially U-shaped cross section is formed on the inner peripheral edge of the metal piece, as shown in Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 4826633, for example. When the glass door and front door are closed, the engagement protrusion formed at the rear of the open edge of the door engages with the engagement groove of the metal frame, and the glass door closes against the metal frame. Also, a piece of wire or celluloid was inserted through the overlapping part of the front door to prevent unauthorized operation.

However, with this conventional structure, for example, if a pachinko ball gets caught on an obstacle nail on the game board mounted on the door of a pachinko machine and does not fall, or if a ball gets jammed in the ball supply device installed on the front door. In the event that pachinko balls are no longer supplied to the ball hitting mechanism, if the above-mentioned glass door and front door are opened to resolve the problem and then both doors are closed, the open edge of the glass door and front door When the ball collided with the door, impact was applied to the game board attached to the door, the prize ball ejection device, the ball supply device installed on the front door, etc., and there was a defect in which a collision sound was generated.

In addition, in the conventional structure, when the glass door and the front door are closed, a gap is formed between the locking groove and the engaging protrusion, so that pachinko balls are not easily caught during play. The glass door and front door sometimes vibrated during firing operations.

This invention was made in order to eliminate the above-mentioned defects in the conventional structure, and by forming a concave engagement groove on the front surface of the metal piece, it is possible to easily attach the elastic body. By forming an engaging protrusion on the open side edge of the glass door and front door that can be press-fitted to the elastic body, it is possible to reduce the impact when closing the glass door and front door. At the same time, collision noise can be prevented.
Furthermore, it is possible to prevent the glass door and front door from vibrating during play, and it also reliably prevents unauthorized operations by inserting wires, pieces of celluloid, etc. from the overlapping part of the glass door and front door with the metal frame.

Then, from the above state, when the open side edges of the glass door 6 and the front door 7 are pressed further rearward and the locking member L is operated, both doors 6 and 7 are opened as shown in FIGS. ,7
The engaging protrusions 31 and 32 of the elastic body 30. Both doors 6 and 7 are held in the closed position by the locking member L, with the elastic bodies 30 and 34 slightly compressed.

Therefore, when the locking member L is operated, the open side edges of the glass door 6 and the front door 7 protrude to the front of the metal frame 5.
Therefore, it is possible to easily check whether both doors 6 and 7 are securely locked in the closed state.

Note that this invention is not limited to the structure of the above-mentioned embodiments, and can be embodied by arbitrarily changing the structure of each part without departing from the spirit of this invention. This can also be implemented in other vertical game machines such as coin game machines.

As detailed above, this invention attaches a metal frame to the periphery of a window shaped like a door, and hinges a glass door and the door vertically to one side edge of the metal frame. In a vertical game machine which is covered with a glass door and a front door so as to be openable and closable, a concave retaining groove is formed on the front surface of the metal frame, and an elastic body is fitted into the engaging groove; An engagement protrusion that can be press-fitted to the elastic body is formed on the open side edge of the glass door and the front door, and an engagement protrusion that can be press-fitted with the elastic body is formed, and the other side edge of the metal frame opposite to the hinge side edge is formed with the glass door. In order to allow insertion of a locking member, etc. for locking the door, a cut arrow part is formed in the inner folded piece that limits the locking groove, and the cutout part is fitted into the engagement groove. By concealing the glass door and front door with an elastic material, it is possible to reduce the impact when the glass door and front door are closed, and also prevent the occurrence of collision noise. In addition, it is possible to reliably prevent unauthorized operations such as inserting wire or celluloid pieces from the overlapping part of the glass door and front door with respect to the metal frame, and furthermore, the elastic body can be locked. Since it can be attached using the groove, there is no need for work such as adhesive fixing with screws, and the installation work can be easily performed, which is an excellent effect.
