TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a gaming machine such as a pachinko gaming machine or a slot gaming machine (pachislot gaming machine) in which a clear member holding frame is provided on the front surface so as to be openable and closable, and the clear member of the clear member holding frame covers the front surface of the gaming section. It is.
[0002]
[Prior art]
Conventionally, a clear member holding frame (a so-called glass holding frame) provided on a front side of a pachinko machine and holding a glass serving as a clear member so as to be openable and closable is made of metal. By bending and shaping into the shape of the above, it is formed into a frame having a large opening in the center by welding, and a glass support edge having a W-shaped cross section is fixed to the inner peripheral edge on the back side of the opening by welding or the like. The configuration was such that a plate glass was fitted into the supporting edge. Providing a decoration device such as a lamp decoration device on the metal glass holding frame has not been actually performed because of a space problem and a complicated structure. Instead, a decorative device such as a lamp display is provided on the surface of a front frame (inner frame) surrounding the periphery of the glass holding frame.
[0003]
On the other hand, recently, in a pachinko machine, it has been considered that a clear member holding frame, which is a glass holding frame, is molded of synthetic resin and is attached to a front frame as an inner frame so as to be openable and closable. Forming the clear member holding frame with synthetic resin in this way has the advantage that the design of the front side of the pachinko machine can be arbitrarily designed compared to the case of metal, and if it is made of synthetic resin, it can be recycled. Is easy and contributes to the protection of natural resources. Furthermore, if the clear member holding frame is made of synthetic resin, it is easier to install decorative devices such as lamp indicators in a unified design compared to metal glass holding frames, and the number of decorative devices is larger than before. Is also easy to increase.
[0004]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
However, if the clear member holding frame main body of the clear member holding frame is integrally formed of synthetic resin, a molding die which is much larger than that of a metal glass frame is required, and the clear member holding frame main body is also required. Since the vertical and horizontal dimensions are large in comparison with the front-to-rear dimensions, "warping" is likely to occur in the cooling step during injection molding, and it is not easy to manufacture with the required precision. On the other hand, simply dividing and molding may not only result in insufficient strength of the joined portion after assembling, but also may cause foreign matter such as a piano wire to be inserted. In addition, there is an inconvenience that the seam of the joint portion impairs the appearance.
[0005]
Therefore, an object of the present invention is to solve the above-mentioned inconvenience, to enable the clear member holding frame main body of the clear member holding frame to be molded with high precision using a synthetic resin, and to have a high joint strength after assembly and good appearance. It is intended to provide gaming machines.

Are configured to connect the divided pieces 17a and 17b. The connecting portions 34a and 34b may have any configuration as long as they can connect the divided pieces 17a and 17b. For example, the connecting portions 34a and 34b are configured by a locking claw and a step portion to which the locking claw can be locked. Is also good.
[0020]
Both edges of the glass holding frame main body 17 are formed in a shape that is folded back to the rear side, and the two folded portions and the front portion form a concave chamber portion opened to the rear side, and the concave chamber portion is a lens described later. The electrical member processing space 35 communicates with the space on the back side of the member 24 to form an electrical member processing space 35, and the electrical member processing space 35 is configured to accommodate electrical members such as a light emitting source and wiring of the decoration device. In addition, since the folded-back part is not only formed as a concave chamber part but also formed in a wall shape in a direction orthogonal to the front part, it also functions as a reinforcing part for increasing the strength of the glass holding frame main body 17 itself. I have.
[0021]
Then, the electric member processing space 35 is covered by the auxiliary metal plates 20a, 20b, and 20c attached to the back surface of the glass holding frame main body, as shown in FIG. Therefore, after the auxiliary metal plates 20a, 20b, and 20c are attached, the electric members such as the wiring cords housed in the electric member processing space 35 are covered and hidden by the auxiliary metal plate 20, and are divided into right and left. The joint part connecting the pieces 17a and 17b is also covered. Therefore, even if the clear member holding frame 2 is opened, the appearance is not spoiled.

And the notch 36a at the base end side of the shaft prevents interference with the hinge mechanism 4. In this way, when the cylinder lock 13 is arranged on one side of the upper part of the inner frame 5, even if a player sits in front of the pachinko gaming machine 1, the cylinder lock 13 can be seen well from the surroundings. Since it is located at a position where monitoring is easy, there is an effect that fraudulent acts on the cylinder lock 13 are effectively prevented.
[0023]
In addition, a lamp indicator integrating the prize ball lamp 39 and the completion lamp 40 is provided on the upper side of the base end side of the clear member holding frame 2 attached to the shaft, and the pilot lamp 23 is provided on the upper center portion. An opening is opened in the upper left portion of the main body and the corresponding position of the auxiliary metal plate 20a, and a lens is fitted into the opening of the glass holding frame main body from the back side. Since the light-emitting sources of the prize ball lamp 39 and the completion lamp 40 are attached to the outer frame 3, a light transmitting window (not shown) is opened in a corresponding portion of the inner frame 5.
[0024]
On the upper side of the glass holding frame main body 17, a laterally long concave portion 41 is formed on the front side, and a shelf plate-shaped foreign matter shielding portion 42 is protruded, and a lamp substrate 43 for the pilot lamp 23 is provided in the concave portion 41. Is attached by fastening means such as screws while straddling the joint portion 27a of the left and right divided pieces 17a and 17b, and is fixed by covering the concave portion 41 with a horizontally long lens cover 23 'as a decorative member. As shown in FIG. 8, the lamp substrate 43 is mounted on the back surface of the lamp substrate 43 with a connector 45 electrically connected to each lamp (incandescent lamp) 44. A connector 46 connectable to the connector 45 is fixed to the bottom in a state of being penetrated, and the lamp board 43 is retracted into the recess 41 from the front to connect the connector 45 of the lamp board 43 to the connector 46 of the recess 41. Then, a screw is inserted into the fixing hole of the lamp substrate 43 and screwed.
[0025]
Therefore, if the lamp substrate 43 is fixed to a predetermined position while straddling the joining portion 27a of the divided pieces 17a and 17b, it is not necessary to perform a separate wiring connection operation, and the lamp substrate 43 increases the joining strength of the joining portion 27a. It also functions as an additional member. In addition, the wiring cord 47 for the pilot lamp 23 connected to the connector 46 of the concave portion 41 is passed through the above-described concave portion, and is supported by the code fixing portion 49 in the concave portion integrally molded with the glass holding frame body. It is desirable to wire with.
[0026]
The lens cover 23 'is a substantially bonito-shaped synthetic resin cover in which a curved bright portion extends obliquely downward and rearward from the arc-shaped front edge of the upper surface, and is provided at the rear edge of the glass holding frame body. Three notched vents 50 are provided. In order to attach the lens cover 23 'having such a configuration to the concave portion 41, the fitting step of the rear edge is fitted inside the concave portion 41, and the engaging projection 51 projecting from the rear edge is engaged with the concave portion 41. Attachment is performed by locking in the hole 52.
[0027]
When the lens cover 23 'is attached to the concave portion 41 of the glass holding frame main body in this manner, not only does it function as a decorative member that covers most of the joint portions 27a of the left and right split pieces 17a and 17b, but also joins the joint portions 27a. It also functions as an additional member that increases strength.
[0028]
When the lens cover 23 ′ is attached to the concave portion 41, the foreign matter shielding portion 42 is formed at a predetermined height at a position corresponding to the vent 50 of the lens cover 23 ′. It faces the vent 50 in a state of being separated from the inside of the cover 23 'by a predetermined distance. Since the area of the foreign substance shielding portion 42 is set to be larger than the opening area of the ventilation port 50, a portion where the ventilation port 50 and the foreign substance shielding portion 42 are slightly separated from each other in the up and down direction is not ventilated. The vent passage from the port 50 to the inside is formed in a bent state.
[0029]
When the lamps 44 of the pilot lamps 23 are turned on, the light of the lamps 44 shines on the lens cover 23 ′, and the shine of the lens cover 23 ′ makes it possible to visually display the game state and enhance the decorative effect. . Then, when the lamp 44 is turned on, the air inside the lens cover 23 ', particularly the air around the lamp 44, is warmed and the warm air rises because it is lighter than the cool air. The raised warm air is discharged from the ventilation port 50 to the outside of the lens cover 23 'through the ventilation channel. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the temperature inside the lens cover 23 'from being heated by the heat of the lamps 44. For this reason, it is possible to prevent the lens cover 23 ′ made of thermoplastic synthetic resin and the glass holding frame body 17 from being thermally deformed, and to damage parts such as the lamp substrate 43 and the wiring cord 47 due to heat. Can be prevented.
[0030]
When the warm air inside the lens cover 23 'is exhausted through the ventilation flow path, the amount of cold outside air corresponding to the exhausted warm air is released from the gaps such as the engagement holes and the joints of the divided pieces 17a and 17b. 5B, when the cool air inlet 53 is opened on the bottom surface of the concave portion 41 below the lamp 44, as shown in FIG. Since the airflow toward the air is generated, the exhaust efficiency of warm air is further enhanced.
[0031]
Further, since the vent 50 is opened on the upper surface of the lens cover 23 ', not only the exhaust efficiency is good, but also since the vent 50 is hard to be seen from the player side, there is no possibility that the appearance is spoiled. And even if the ventilation opening 50 is opened in the lens cover 23 ', since the foreign substance shielding part 42 is exposed from the inside and the ventilation flow path is formed by bending, an inexperienced person mischiefs, Even if a foreign substance is inserted from the ventilation port 50, the foreign substance hits the foreign substance shielding portion 42 and is prevented from entering. Therefore, there is no possibility that foreign matter enters the inside of the lens cover 23 ′ from the vent 50, and it is difficult for dust and the like to enter.
