[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art As is well known, in a pachinko machine, an outro is formed and various winning devices are formed in the front surface of a front frame that is openably and closably attached to the opening front side of an outer frame forming an outer body. While the game board that configures the required game area by arranging game parts, nails, etc. is detachably replaceable, the rear side of the front frame discharges out balls and winning balls and wins prizes. A mechanism set plate, which is an overall unit, is set by providing respective paths and processing devices related to the ball discharge processing. Then, during the game, the out balls that entered the outro and the prize balls that entered each winning device are let out from the back side of the game board respectively, and finally guided to the respective paths on the mechanism set board and discharged. ing.

In such a pachinko machine, each safe ball generated in the prize winning device at each position is quickly dropped through without causing interference with the back side of the prize winning device, game parts or the like, and winning the prize ball. On the back side of the game board, there is a passage for each safe ball in consideration of allowing each safe ball set to different conditions to pass through separately, and not to let the safe ball deviate through. A back cover is formed by being sectioned, or a passage for each safe ball is formed by partitioning so that the back side of a prize winning device, game parts, etc. can be covered protectively. By the way, most of the back lid and cover members are made of synthetic resin and are transparent.

[0004]

The cover member of the back cover or cover on the back side of the game board described above is of a fixing type by nailing or screwing. For this reason, it is possible to fulfill the intended purpose of passing safe balls, etc.However, if there is an abnormality or failure in each winning device or game parts, or if there is a delay in safe ball passing, etc. The handling of the above-mentioned cover member has been a major bottleneck in solving the above problem. That is, all the nails and screws of the cover member have to be removed when the cover member is detached, and nailing and screwing are required at the time of fixing and setting, which not only takes a lot of time and labor but is also troublesome.

By the way, regarding the handling of such a cover member, at the time of new setting in the manufacturing process,
With each sheet, there are deviations and errors in the set position of the same member,
As a result, there may be a problem that the safe ball cannot pass through promptly. On the other hand, in a pachinko machine used for games, the cover member has to be removed and attached as described above under the condition that the front frame opened to the outer frame is easily changed. The situation is that the work is quite difficult. In addition, in the work under these circumstances, the removed nail is bent or the screw is damaged and cannot be reused, and a new nail or screw is often required.

The present invention has been proposed in order to solve the above-mentioned problems, and the cover member mounted on the back side of the game board can be opened and closed by an easy operation to easily open the back side of the game board. The object is to provide a pachinko machine that can be used.

[0007]

The present invention is capable of opening and closing a frame forming an outer machine frame as a technical means for overcoming the above-mentioned problems and suitably achieving the intended purpose. Inside the front of the assembled front frame, a game board that constitutes a game area including winning devices and game parts is stored and set, while a window is opened on the back side of the front frame and various pachinko balls are processed. In a pachinko machine in which a mechanism set plate having such a route or means is set, in a predetermined region on the back side corresponding to the game area of the game board,
A cover member that protects the back side of the winning device or the like and covers the winning balls and guides them out and through is supported by one side edge thereof by an opening / closing connection support means in a laterally openable rotatable condition. On the other hand, the gist of the invention is that the other side edge portion is appropriately held by the engagement / disengagement holding means in a disengageable manner, and is inserted and set so as to be opened and closed in the window of the mechanism set plate.

[0008]

With respect to the cover member mounted on the back side of the game board, the cover member is connected and supported by the opening and closing connection supporting means at one side edge portion, and is retained by the engaging and disengaging holding means at the other side edge portion. The original lid cover state is maintained. Then, upon opening, on the back side of the mechanism set body, the back side of the game board can be opened by laterally opening in the window of the mechanism set plate based on the engagement / disengagement holding means.

A relay board 17 is arranged on the back surface of the game board 6 corresponding to the cutout portion 16. The plurality of wirings L1 (harnesses) connected to each of the winning devices 4 and the like are respectively connected to the relay board 17 through the insertion openings 18 formed in the cutouts 16.

On the other hand, as shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, a mechanism setting plate 22 is set on the back side of the housing holding frame 2. In this mechanism set plate 22, a window 22a having a size capable of opening and closing the collective cover 7 is opened in the center thereof, and the prize ball tank 19 and the tank rail 20 are attached to the peripheral portion of the window 22a. , A prize ball discharging device 21 at the downstream end of the tank rail 20 (the right center portion in FIG. 2)
Is installed. A discharge passage 23 is formed downstream of the prize ball discharging device 21 and communicates with an upper plate and a lower plate (not shown) on the front surface of the front frame 1.

As shown in FIGS. 1 to 3 and 6, at the left end of the mechanism set plate 22, that is, on the side opposite to the rotation fulcrum of the collective cover 7, the opening / closing connection support means of the electric control board C is received. As a part, pins 25 are integrally erected on the upper surface of the hinge receiving portion 24 above and below the mechanism setting plate 22.
On the other hand, in the electric control board C, a pair of hinge protrusions 27 are integrally formed on the upper and lower left ends of a rectangular synthetic resin substrate case 26 as a hanging portion, and are formed on the hinge protrusions 27. The pin 25 of each hinge receiving portion 24 is inserted into the formed pin hole 28.

As a result, the entire substrate C is not covered with the collective cover 7 between two positions, ie, a closed state where the collective cover 7 is overlapped from the back side as shown in FIG. 2 and an open state as shown in FIG. It can rotate in the opposite direction.

The electric control board C is shown in FIGS.
3, as shown in FIG. 6, the circuit board 29 related to the control of the prize winning device 4, the accessory 5, etc. is housed in the board case 26, and the lid 31 is attached to the board case 26.
The whole is configured into a box-shaped unit. Circuit board 2
9 is connected to the relay board 17 by a cable 34, and wiring (harness) is also provided for each prize winning device 4, the accessory 5, etc.
(Not shown).

As a means for engaging and disengaging the electric control board C described above, as shown in FIGS. 3 and 6, the mechanism set plate 2 is used.
An elastically deformable board stopper 35 having a hook 35a is formed on the left side of the board 2, and a part of the board case 26 or the lid 31 when the board C is set is used as the hook 3.
It is adapted to be hooked on 5a.

Next, the operation of the pachinko machine constructed as described above will be described. First, the mounting (assembly) of the collective cover 7 on the game board 6 will be described. That is, although the cover 7 is formed as a single unit by itself, for convenience of handling at the time of mounting, the cover 7 is prepared in a state in which the hinge receiving portion 10 is pin-connected to each hinge protrusion 9 in advance. . In this state, as work in the manufacturing process department,
The upper and lower hinge receiving portions 10 and the latch holder 14 are fitted to respective predetermined positions set on the back surface of the game board 6 and screwed. Then, the cylindrical holes 13 of the collective cover 7 are fitted into the corresponding hook holders 14 and locked by the locking step portions 15a, whereby one side edge of the collective cover 7 is connected and supported, and the other side edge thereof. After being locked and held, it is inserted and set in a proper posture position, and the back sides of all the winning devices 4 and the accessory 5 are covered and protected (see FIG. 3). In addition, in this work, the collective cover 7 is attached to the latch holder 14 that is screwed in advance.
The hinge hole 10 may be fitted into the cylindrical hole 13 to fix the hinge receiving portion 10 with a screw.

When a trouble such as a failure of the prize winning device 4 or the accessory 5 on the game board 6 or a wiring failure occurs during the game on the pachinko machine used for the game,
As described above, it is necessary to open the rear cover of the game board 6 by opening the collective cover 7 which is inserted and set, and to deal with the trouble. Therefore, when opening the rear surface of the game board 6, first, as shown in FIG. 1, the front frame 1 is opened from the frame F, and then the electric control board C is opened to open the board stopper 35 shown in FIG. 1 upward. Bend the hook 35a to the lid 3
1, and the board case 26 is rotated leftward and laterally to be in an outside open state in which the board case 26 is separated from the mechanism set plate 22.
At this time, the board case 26 only rotates around the pin 25 inserted through the pin hole 28 of the hinge projection 27, so that it is not necessary to forcibly remove the cable 34 connected to the circuit board 29. .

When the electric control board C is opened, the entire cover 7 is exposed. Therefore, when the cover 7 is opened, the latch piece 1 of the latch holder 14 shown in FIG.
By elastically bending the members 5 inwardly, the locking step 15a of the hooking piece 15 and the outer peripheral edge of the cylindrical hole 13 are unlocked. As a result, the collective cover 7 can be opened from the window 22a of the mechanism set plate 22 based on the hinge protrusion 9 and the hinge receiver 10 shown in FIG. 4, and the collective cover 7 is opened as shown in FIG. As a result, the back surface of the game board 6 is opened. Therefore, while the mechanism set plate 22 is held as a set, the above-mentioned trouble can be quickly dealt with from the window 22a while the electric control board C and the collective cover 7 are opened. At this time, with respect to the collective cover 7, it is possible to remove the pin 12 and remove it from the game board 6.

On the other hand, after the trouble is dealt with,
First, by closing the collective cover 7, the cylindrical hole 13 shown in FIG. 5 is inserted into the locking piece 15 of the locking holder 14, and the locking step 15a is locked to the outer peripheral edge of the cylindrical hole 13. The collective cover 7 is held in the closed state.

Next, by closing the electric control board C to the original setting position, the hook 35 of the board stopper 35 is locked.
a is hooked on the lid 31 again, and the substrate C is held in the closed state. Further, if the front frame 1 is closed to the frame F side, the pachinko machine returns to the initial state.

As described above, in the pachinko machine of this embodiment, the back surface of the game board 6 can be easily opened only by opening and closing the electric control board C and the collective cover 7. Therefore, it is not necessary to attach and detach the electric control board C, the collective cover 7, and the mechanism set plate 22 from the housing holding frame 2. Further, it is not necessary to attach or detach the wiring L1 or the cable 34.

On the other hand, the electric control board C can be attached and detached under the above-mentioned outward open state. That is, when the board C is set, the entire board is lowered by aligning the pin holes 28 of the hinge protrusions 27 above and below the board case 26 with the pins 25 of the hinge receiving section 24 of the mechanism set plate 22. 28 and 25 are fitted and connected and supported. Further, when the board C is removed, the pin hole 28 is removed from the pin 25 and released by appropriately lifting the entire board with the cable 34 removed. This allows the electric control board C to be assembled and disassembled quickly and easily.

In this embodiment, the collective cover 7 is also configured to open and close like the electric control board C, but the point is that the board C faces outward so as not to interfere with the opening and closing of the collective cover 7. Any form of opening may be used. Alternatively, the collective cover 7 may be attached to the window 22a of the mechanism set plate 22 so as to be openable and closable, and the electric control board C may be attached to the back side of the cover 7 so as to be openable and closable.

In any case, the open / close mounting technique of the collective cover, which is the object of the present invention, can be suitably carried out in the case where the mechanism mechanism set plate is fixedly set by screws or the like. It can be suitably implemented even if the window is widely opened, regardless of whether the lid member is attached to the window window under the condition of opening / closing or attachment / detachment.

[0028]

[Effects of the Invention] As can be understood from the above-described embodiments, in the pachinko machine of the present invention, on the back side of the game board, the back side of various prize winning devices, game parts, etc. is covered and protected.
Since the collective cover for collecting prize balls and guiding them through the entrance is set so that it can be opened and closed, this collective cover is easy to inspect on the back side of the game board, repair and process for troubles of each prize device etc. The game board can be opened by opening the back side of the game board, and troubles can be dealt with based on this. Moreover, this collective cover can be opened sideways within the window of the mechanism set plate, so when opening the back of the game board, it is not necessary to open or remove the mechanism set, leaving it in the stationary set state. The collective cover can be quickly opened from the window on the back side of the mechanism set plate, and the back surface of the game board can be exposed from the window.

Therefore, in a pachinko machine used for playing a game, even if the front frame opened from the frame (outer frame) is easily changed, the collective cover does not suffer from this and the collective cover is a mechanism set plate. You can easily open it from the window and check the back side of the game board, and make the necessary confrontations against troubles. Also, since the collective cover is installed and set on the back side of the game board, it can be opened and located in the window of the mechanism set plate, so this cover member itself can also be used as a lid for the window, and thereby the window In addition, it is possible to eliminate the need for a structure in which a lid is separately provided, and to simplify the structure of the entire mechanism set plate.
