As shown enlarged in B and C, a stopper 70 is provided, and this stopper 70 is connected to a shaft 71 passing through the frame member 12.
, a locking portion 72 rotatably supported on the shaft 71, and a rotating arm 73 formed in an L-shape in a direction perpendicular to the locking portion 72.
and a pressing member 74 consisting of a spring, washer, etc. that presses the rotating arm 73 toward the surface of the game m18,
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 locking part 72 of the stopper 70 is brought into pressure contact with the back side of the game board 18, thereby forming a number wheel.

FIG. 10 shows a different embodiment of the game board 18 and support plate 11 of the game board mounting structure for a pachinko game machine according to the present invention, and this game board 18 has a mouth-shaped notch at its lower end. 76, and the support plate 11 corresponds to the mouth-shaped notch 76.
It is configured so that a mouth-shaped premium law deriving lower 8 protruding from the upper end can be fitted into the mouth-shaped notch 7.
6 and the mouth-shaped prize law deriving lower 8 are fitted together, so that the game board 18 and the support plate 11 are accurately and completely integrated at predetermined positions in the horizontal and vertical directions, and are attached to the front frame 2. I can do it. 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 the foul ball outlet 66 does not communicate with the introduction path 37. As mentioned above.

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 18 to connect the automatic ball supply mechanism 22 to the game board 18. It is designed so that it can be attached and detached and rotated freely. A shield for shielding the hitting ball entrance 82 above the surface.
A shutter shaft 92 that slides the center 90 in the left-right direction 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, fine adjustment of cleaning of the ball ejecting rail 61 etc. can be easily and quickly performed.

〔Effect of the invention〕

The above is the configuration of one embodiment of the mounting structure for the game board of the pachinko game machine according to the present invention. Since a positioning hole is formed in the board at a position opposite to the positioning protrusion, when the game board is attached to the back of the frame member,
The game board has a structure in which approximately the center part is supported, and the game board can be held without moving horizontally, vertically, or vertically by simply placing a hand on the game board, and in this holding state, the game board can be easily and securely attached using fixing metal fittings, etc. It is something that can be done.
