[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to an indicator light of a pachinko game machine, which is provided above the pachinko game machine and is used to display a trouble occurrence or a fever state of the game machine.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 Conventionally, in pachinko parlors, various tastes have been elaborated in order to attract customers' attention and incite curiosity. As one of them, as shown in FIG. 6, an indicator lamp 12 is provided above the pachinko game machine 11. The indicator lamp 12 has a display section 14 provided in a row on the front surface of a casing 13. Depending on the state of the game machine 11, a switch (not shown) provided on the casing 13 may be turned on. Causes the display unit 14 to blink and light according to a certain blinking pattern.

By the way, in recent years, a pachinko game machine commonly called a fever machine has become popular. This fever machine is in a fibre state under certain conditions, but this fever state is arousing curiosity for the customers, and there are generally various types of game machines after the fibre state. Since the arrangement is made, it is necessary to call attention of the staff.

Therefore, in order to clearly indicate the fever state, a display plate (not shown) indicating the fever state is sandwiched between plate attachments 15 provided above the game machine 11, and the display plate allows the customer and the attendant to know. It is common practice to call attention. The plate fixture 15 was provided separately from the indicator lamp 12.

[0005]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 As described above, since the indicator lamp 12 and the plate fixture 15 are conventionally separate from each other, it is necessary to separately purchase and attach them, but at the same time, the game machine 11 is expensive. Generally, since each store has several hundreds, it is cumbersome and inefficient to separately attach the indicator light 12 and the fixture 15 one by one.

Further, since the pachinko parlor is an entertainment playground, various decorations are provided inside the store, but it is preferable to omit unnecessary decorations as much as possible. However, if each game console was equipped with a fixture 15, it gave a complex impression and was not desirable from the perspective of store decoration. Furthermore, if the display units 14 are arranged in a line as in the conventional case, the visibility from the side is particularly poor, it is difficult for the attendant to check the state of the game machine 11, and it is difficult to draw the customer's attention. It was

Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide an indicator light for a pachinko game machine, which can improve the efficiency of installation work, reduce the cost, and improve the decoration in the store. Another object of the present invention is to provide an indicator light for a pachinko game machine, which can improve the visibility of the display unit and draw the attention of customers and staff.

[0008]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 The present invention has taken the following technical means in order to achieve the above object. That is, the present invention provides an indicator lamp which is provided above a pachinko game machine and which has a casing and a display unit provided on the front surface of the casing for displaying various states of the pachinko game machine. In addition, it is characterized in that a plate holding portion for holding the display plate detachably is provided.

Further, the present invention is characterized in that the casing is provided with a plurality of display portions which are vertically arranged in different steps.

[0010]

[Action]

 The indicator light of the pachinko game machine of the present invention is provided above the pachinko game machine and displays various states of the pachinko game machine on the display unit. When an attendant inserts the display plate into the plate holding portion when the game machine is in the fiber state, the display plate is held between the plate holding portion and draws the attention of the customer and the staff.

Further, if a plurality of display portions are provided vertically in a different manner, the attention of the customer and the staff can be further called, and the visibility is improved.

【Example】

 Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. The indicator light 1 of the pachinko game machine shown in FIGS. 1 to 4 includes a casing 2, a lighting device (not shown) provided in the casing 2, and a wiring cord 3 for wiring the lighting device. Is equipped with.

The casing 2 includes left and right side portions 21 and 22 which are vertically offset, a right side reinforcement portion 23 which is located on the right side of the left side portion 21 and above the right side portion 22, and a left side portion of the right side portion 22. Further, it is provided with a left side reinforcing portion 24 located below the left side portion 21 and a groove-shaped plate holding portion 25 provided at the center position of the casing 2 in the left-right direction over the entire length in the up-down direction. And the like, and are integrally molded by a mold. The casing 2 is provided with a pair of first display portions 4, 4 on the front surfaces of the left and right side portions 21, 22, and the left and right side portions 21, 22 are located on the side of the first display portion 4, 4, respectively. A pair of second display portions 5 and 5 are provided on the front surface, and a push button switch 6 and a license plate mounting portion 7 are provided on the front surface of the left reinforcing portion 24. A number plate (not shown) different for each game machine is attached to the license plate attachment portion 7.

As shown in FIG. 1, the plate holding portion 25 is formed so that a display plate P having a design, characters, etc. drawn on its surface can be held. Specifically, as shown in detail in FIG. 2 and FIG. 3, there are several ridges 8 extending in the depth direction on the left and right side walls WL and WR, which are laterally intersected by several lines (in this embodiment, three lines on each side, a total of 6 lines). Article) is formed. The distance l in the width direction between the right and left ridges 8, 8 is slightly narrower than the plate thickness d of the display plate P. When the display plate P is inserted into the plate holding part 25, the display plate P is slightly It is elastically deformed into a wavy shape and is sandwiched by the ridges 8 from the left and right. The surface of the ridge 8 is preferably formed into a smooth curved surface to facilitate the insertion of the display plate P.

The indicator lamp 1 of the present embodiment is provided above the pachinko game machine, and the display sections 4 and 5 blink in a certain blinking pattern according to the state of the game machine. Further, when the switch 6 is inserted, the second display parts 5 and 5 and a representative lamp (not shown) for the staff to collectively manage the game machines are turned on. The switch 6 can be used to call an attendant when trouble occurs.

Further, since the left and right side portions 21 and 22 of the casing 2 are formed in a stepped manner in the vertical direction, the upper and lower sides of the plate holding portion 25 do not have to be widened without increasing the vertical width of the left and right side portions 21 and 22. The length can be long enough to hold the display plate P. Further, since the display units 4 and 5 are provided at different positions in the vertical direction, the visibility from the side is particularly improved, so that the attention of the customer and the staff can be further called. Further inspire customers' curiosity by adopting elaborate blinking patterns, for example, a blinking pattern that sequentially flows from the upper indicator light 1 of the game machine in the fever state to the adjacent indicator lights 1 on both sides. be able to.

FIG. 5 shows other embodiments, respectively, and as shown in the drawing, the plate holding portion 25 is long in the left-right direction of the casing 2 even if it is provided on one end side or both end sides of the casing 2. It may be provided, or the display plate P may be sandwiched between elastic members.
