Further, the glass frame locking drive unit 39 which engages with the glass frame locking unit 34, engages the glass frame locking unit 34 with the glass frame lock receiving unit 36, and opens the glass frame 35 by pressing down the glass frame locking unit 36 is provided. , Are provided as shown in FIG. The glass frame opening drive unit 39 is provided on the support plate 12 and engages with the glass frame locking unit 34.
Glass frame engaging portion 40 urged in a direction to separate from
The flexible wire 41 attached to the glass frame engaging portion 40, and the flexible wire 41 is pulled so that the glass frame engaging portion 40 is engaged with the glass frame locking portion 34, thereby forming the glass frame locking portion 34. And a wire drive source 42 that engages with the glass frame lock receiving portion 36 and depresses it to open the glass frame 35.

More specifically, the glass frame engaging portion 40 can be slidably provided in a vertical direction on a mounting portion 43 provided to project from the support plate 12 toward the glass frame 35.
The glass frame engaging portion 40 is composed of a vertically elongated slide plate 44 and an engaging claw 45 projecting from the slide plate 44 toward the glass frame 35 and engaging with the glass frame locking portion 34. This slide plate 44 is a tension spring as a spring member.
Always biased upward by 46. The slide plate 44
Is held by the slide holding plate 47 and can be slid vertically. In this case, the slide plate 44 is provided with a plurality of vertical mounting holes 48 so that the mounting position of the engaging claw portion 45 can be adjusted up and down.

 Next, the operation will be described.

First, the wire drive source 42 is installed by selecting an arbitrary space. In this case, for example, the wire drive source 42 is installed at a position avoiding the pipes for conveying coins and bills provided on the back side of the pachinko machine 1 and avoiding various devices in the pachinko machine main body 2. Can be

It is assumed that the glass frame 35 is closed and locked.

In this state, when a regular key is inserted into the key insertion section 38 of the control section 37, the wire drive source 42 operates to
Is pulled downward to pull down the glass frame engaging portion 40, so that the glass frame engaging portion 40 pushes down the glass frame locking portion 34 and pushes down the glass frame lock receiving portion 35. Thereby, the glass frame 35 is opened.

If the glass frame engaging portion 40 does not properly engage with the glass frame locking portion 34, an arbitrary mounting hole 48 for mounting the glass frame engaging portion 40 is selected and the glass frame engaging portion 40 is selected. Joint
Adjust the vertical position of 40.

In the above embodiment, the glass frame engaging portion 40 is constantly urged by the tension spring 46 in a direction to separate from the glass frame locking portion 34, and pulls down the flexible wire 41 to move the glass frame engaging portion 40. By engaging the glass frame locking portion 34, the glass frame locking portion 34 is engaged with the glass frame lock receiving portion 36, and is depressed to release the glass frame lock receiving portion 36 from the glass frame locking portion 34. I have. However, the present invention is not limited to such a configuration. If the glass frame locking portion can be unlocked by moving the flexible wire to engage and disengage the glass frame locking portion with the glass frame locking portion, the first configuration is possible. Any configuration may be used as in the case of the invention of (1).

Next, an embodiment of the third invention will be described with reference to FIG. The same parts as those in FIG. 1 are denoted by the same reference numerals and description thereof will be omitted.

The drive signal output device 56 is composed of a decoder and the like, and is connected to a computer such as a control room by a signal line (not shown). , 42 are output, so that it is possible to save the trouble of using a key and to operate the front frame opening drive unit 6 or the glass frame opening drive unit 39 by remote control.

In the figure, the decoder 56 is mounted between the support 12 and the wire drive sources 9 and 42 by mounting holes 57, 58, 59 and screws 60, but may be mounted independently of other parts.

In the above-described embodiment, the front frame opening drive unit 6 and the glass frame opening drive unit 39 are provided between the ceiling plate 10 and the island stand 11 and are not provided on the pachinko machine 1 itself. Even when the pachinko machine 1 is installed or the pachinko machine 1 is replaced, the pachinko machine 1 can be applied to all forms of the pachinko machine 1.

Also, installation of new equipment and the like in the pachinko machine 1 is prohibited by the rules of the Security Communications Association. The front frame opening drive unit 6 and the glass frame opening drive unit 39 are not provided on the pachinko machine 1 itself but are provided on the ceiling plate 10 and the island stand 11, so that they do not violate the rules of the Security Communication Association at all.

(Effects of the Invention) As described above, according to the first aspect, the front frame can be automatically opened by the driving force of the front frame opening drive unit, and this drive unit can be freely installed by selecting an arbitrary space. It can be installed freely without getting in the way of pachinko machines.
