Description

[Detailed description of the invention] <Industrial field of application> The present invention provides a winning device by providing an edge frame member at the opening of the safe ball gathering frame and detachably connecting a lid member to the edge frame member. The present invention relates to a pachinko machine that has a storage section into which the holder is loosely fitted.

<Prior art> There are many types of winning devices that are attached to the surface of the game board.The winning devices that are attached almost to the center of the game board protrude from the back of the game board to the inside of the safe ball collecting frame, or the winning devices that are attached to the surface of the game board protrude into the safe ball collecting frame. Some penetrate through and protrude to the rear. Particularly in the case of prize-winning devices equipped with drive mechanisms such as motors and solenoids, simply having the rear part protrude rearward from an opening made in the safe ball gathering frame will eliminate the need for a case or the size of the protruding part. I prepared a case that matched the situation and screwed it to the safe ball collection frame.

<Problems to be solved by the invention> However, since the opening in the center of the safe ball gathering frame is simply open, the center part bends back and forth, which obstructs the flow of safe balls and prevents balls from clogging. It may also be the cause of unauthorized operation of the prize-winning device. For this reason, it is necessary to install a safe ball collecting frame without an opening or a safe ball collecting frame with an opening for each winning device, and then screw the case to the opening, which takes time and effort to assemble. At the same time, each safe ball gathering frame must be created individually and assembled according to the type of winning device.

<Means for Solving the Problems> The present invention was proposed in view of the above, and has an opening into which the rear part of the winning device of the safe ball gathering frame provided on the back of the game board can be inserted. A cylindrical edge frame member is provided in the opening to constitute a first storage space at the rear of the award winning device, and a side frame portion is extended to the periphery of the lid portion in the rear open portion of the edge frame member. By opening the extension end, the lid member constituting the second storage space is removably connected, and the first storage space and the second storage space are communicated with each other to the rear of the safe ball collection frame. It constitutes a storage section into which a winning device is loosely fitted.

<Function> When a cylindrical edge frame member is provided at the opening of the safe ball gathering frame and a lid member is connected to the rear of the edge frame member, a first storage space of the edge frame member and a second storage space of the lid member are created. A storage section is formed behind the safe ball collecting frame in communication with the space and into which the rear part of the winning device is loosely fitted.
