2 are respectively provided, and a positioning pin 69 similar to that implanted at approximately the center of the horizontal portion on the back side of the frame member 12 is formed on the plate-shaped portion 11a protruding from the upper end of the support plate 11, Positioning hole 57 into which the positioning pin 69 fits
is formed below the game board 18, and together with the positioning pin 14 and positioning hole 16, the position of the game board 18 is regulated. Further, at approximately the center of the horizontal portion of the front side of the frame member 12 and at the lower part of the front side of the support plate 11, there are positioning pins 54 for positionally regulating and attaching the front frame 2I to the frame member 12 and the support plate 11, respectively. and 55 are provided, respectively, and these positioning pins 54 and 55 can be fitted into positioning holes (not shown) formed at upper and lower positions on the back side of the front frame 2, respectively. The frame member 12 is provided with a stopper 70, as shown enlarged in FIGS. 9A to 9C. The supported locking portion 72, a rotating arm 73 formed in an L shape perpendicular to the locking portion 72, and the rotating arm 73 connected to the game board 18.
A pressing member 74 consisting of a spring, a washer, etc. that presses the front side is provided, and the locking member 70 is engaged by rotating the rotating arm 73 from the position shown by the dashed line in FIG. 9A to the position shown by the solid line. The stop portion 72 can be brought into pressure contact with the back side of the game board 18.

FIG. 10 shows a game board 1B of a pachinko game machine according to the present invention.
A different embodiment of the support plate 11 is shown, and this game board 18 has a mouth-shaped notch 76 at its lower end, and a part protrudes from the upper end of the support plate 11 corresponding to the mouth-shaped notch 76. It is configured so that the locked mouth-shaped prize ball leading-out lower 8 can fit into it, and by fitting the mouth-shaped notch 76 and the mouth-shaped prize ball leading-out lower 8, The game board 18 and the support plate 11 may be accurately and completely integrated at predetermined positions in the left, right, up and down directions and attached to the front frame 2. In this case, the positioning pins 14 and 69 explained in FIG. You can also omit it. It should be noted that a foul ball outlet 66 is formed between the end of the ball launch rail 61 of the support plate 11 and the end of the guide rail 20 of the game board 18, and that this foul ball outlet 66 communicates with the introduction path 37 was mentioned above. That's exactly what I did.

11 and 12 show different embodiments of the automatic ball supply mechanism 22, which includes a ball inlet 82 in a casing 81 made of synthetic resin. Induction gutter 8
3. A ball exit 84 is formed, and pachinko balls are sent from the ball exit 84 to the ball launch position 6 by repeated rotation of the rotating arm 85.
3, and the casing 81
A mounting member 87 is formed at the upper end, and a support member 88 that rotatably supports the mounting member 87 is fixed to a predetermined position of the game board [8], and the automatic ball supply mechanism 22 is attached to the game board. 18 so that it can be attached and detached and rotated freely. In addition, a shutter shaft 9 slides a shutter 90 that blocks the ball entrance 82 in the left and right direction.
2 is connected to the shutter 90 via a connecting member 93. Note that the locking member of the casing 81 is formed as appropriate. According to the above-mentioned configuration, the batted ball launching rail 6 is configured, but according to such a configuration, the hit pachinko ball can be smoothly sent to the guide rail, and the batted ball is not strong enough. Foul balls that have returned midway along the guide rail and balls that the player has removed from the first prize ball tray can be reliably guided through the introduction path and merging chute, and the support plate can also be used to secure the exit of the prize ball stadium. As a result, the prize balls dispensed from the prize ball dispensing device are reliably dispensed into the first prize ball tray, and when assembling the pachinko game machine, it is necessary to adjust the accuracy of the mounting positions of various parts. This has various effects such as the installation of the game board and the installation/detachment/opening/closing of the mechanism plate can be carried out extremely easily and quickly without the need for additional operations, and an economical pachinko game machine can be obtained.
