Description

【０００１】
【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は、遊技盤面に取り付けられる入賞装置や風車等の盤面部品に関するものである。
【０００２】
【従来の技術】
従来、例えば、入賞装置や風車などの盤面部品は、取付基板の裏面に裏側を向く複数の弾性腕が設けられると共に各弾性腕の先端外側面に遊技盤の取付孔の裏側の外周縁に係止する山形形状の係止爪が設けられている。そして、組立ライン上を該組立ラインに沿って水平に流れる遊技盤に対し、その上側から機械または手作業により各取付孔に盤面部品を合致させ、各係止爪の傾斜する後側面が取付孔の表側の外周縁に受け止められるようにして臨ませた状態で仮固定しておく。次に、機械でその上方から圧力を掛け更に盤面部品を取付孔内に嵌入する。そして、各係止爪を遊技盤の取付孔の裏側の外周縁に係止させることにより盤面部品を取付孔に取付固定するようにしている。
【０００３】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
しかしながら、前記仮固定しておく場合、盤面部品が取付孔に対して真っ直ぐ嵌入できるように配置されていれば良いが、各係止爪の後側面が取付孔の外周縁に受け止められることから不安定となり、機械や手作業であってもややもすると盤面部品が取付孔に対して若干傾いて配置されることが有る。このような状況で、上方から圧力を掛けて盤面部品を取付孔内に嵌入しようとすると、盤面部品が傾いたまま押し込まれて前記弾性腕に無理な力が加わり、これによって弾性腕が破損してしまい不良品が多く発生するといった課題が有った。また、このような事態が生ずると、盤面部品交換のためその取付作業を一時中止せねばならず、このため作業性が低下し生産能率の向上に大きな障害となるという課題が有った。そこで、本発明は上記課題を解決すべくなされたもので、盤面部品の取付に当りその不良品の発生を抑え、作業性引いては生産能率の向上を図ることができるパチンコ遊技機の盤面部品を提供することを目的とするものである。
【０００４】
【課題を解決するための手段】
かかる目的を達成するため、本発明に係るパチンコ遊技機の盤面部品は、取付孔を介して遊技盤面に取り付けられる盤面部品であって、前記取付孔へ嵌入されその内周壁に押されて撓みつつ該取付孔に係止する複数の弾性腕を備えてなり、該各弾性腕の所定の同じ高さ位置に、仮固定するため前記取付孔へ臨ませたときその表側の外周縁に一時的に受け止められ盤面部品が取付孔に対して真っ直ぐ嵌入できるようにするための安定部を設けて構成される。
そこで、盤面部品の仮固定のため該盤面部品を前記取付孔へ臨ませたとき、該取付孔の表側の外周縁に前記各安定部が一時的に受け止められ安定し、しかも各安定部が同じ高さ位置に設けられているので、盤面部品が取付孔に対して真っ直ぐ嵌入できるように配置される。このため、次の工程で機械により上方から圧力を掛け更に盤面部品を取付孔へ嵌入するも、盤面部品は何ら傾くことなく取付固定される。
【０００５】
前記弾性腕は盤面部品の表側を向くものまたは裏側に向くものが有り、また係止爪も外側を向くものまたは内側を向くものが有り、更には安定部として凸状の段部または凹状の段部が有る。更にまた、盤面部品を固定するためその裏側に、取付杆が突設される場合も有るが、この場合は、先細状に窄まる先端部の基端側の端縁に突起を設ける。
そこで、例えば次に示すような構成が有る。すなわち、取付孔を介して遊技盤面に取り付けられる盤面部品であって、前記取付孔へ嵌入される盤面部品の裏側に該盤面部品を固定するための係合部材を設け、該係合部材は、前記取付孔の幅よりやや大きい幅寸法に形成されると共に盤面部品の表側を向きかつ側面弧状をなす一対の弾性腕を有し、両弾性腕の先端外側面に前記取付孔に係止する係止爪を設け、また両弾性腕の外側面にはそれぞれ同じ高さ位置に段部を設けて構成される。また、前記係合部材は、例えば両弾性腕の外側面であって前記両係止爪の後側に取付孔の内周面と平行となるストレート面を設け、仮固定のため盤面部品を前記取付孔へ臨ませたとき、前記両ストレート面まで入りしかも取付孔の表側の外周縁に前記各係止爪が一時的に受け止められるようにして構成される。
【０００６】
また、盤面部品を固定するためその裏側に、盤面部品の裏側に向きかつ先端外側面または内側面に遊技盤の取付孔に係止する山形形状の係止爪を備えた複数の弾性腕を設けている場合は、前記各係止爪の後側面にそれぞれ同じ高さ位置に段部を設け、各係止爪を取付孔へ臨ませたとき、各段部が取付孔の表側の外周縁に一時的に受け止められるようにして構成される。
【０００７】
更に、盤面部品を固定するためその裏側に、盤面部品の裏側に向きかつ先端部が先細状に窄まる複数の取付杆が突設されている場合は、該各取付杆の外周面に同じ高さ位置であって先端部の基端側の端縁に突起を設け、各取付杆の先端部を取付孔に臨ませたとき、各取付孔の表側の外周縁に前記突起が受け止められるようにして構成される。
【０００８】
【発明の実施の形態】
以下、本発明に係るパチンコ遊技機の盤面部品の実施の形態を図面に基づき説明する。図１は本発明が適用される盤面部品、すなわち、入賞装置の表側から見た斜視図、図２は同裏側から見た斜視図、図３は同分解斜視図である。図中、Ａは入賞装置であり、取付基板１の中央に横長の開口２が形成され、該開口２に表側へ開閉自在に回動する開閉板３が装着される。また、前記取付基板１の表面に、開口２の両側に位置してパチンコ球を受け入れる受け口４，４が設けられている。
【０００９】
前記取付基板１の裏面には前記開口２を囲うように箱枠状の枠体５が形成されている。該枠体５は、取付基板１の裏面に突設される横長環状枠６と、表面が開放すると共に外周縁が前記横長環状枠６内に嵌合する箱体７とからなる。なお、該箱体７内には前記開口２から流入したパチンコ球を入賞処理するＶ入賞口と一般入賞口（共に図示せず。）とが配設される。
【００１０】
前記取付基板１の裏面には横長環状枠６の内周縁であって両側位置に後方へ突出する一対の突起８，８が設けられ、該各突起８，８の後端面に螺子孔９が穿設されている。一方、前記箱体７の裏壁７ａの両側に前記各突起８，８に対応位置して螺子挿通孔１０，１０が設けられ、裏側から各螺子挿通孔１０，１０を介して各螺子孔９，９にビス１１，１１を螺合することにより箱体７が横長環状枠６に嵌合して固着される。また、前記裏壁７ａの裏面両側は段差が設けてあり、その両側の所定個所にそれぞれ一対の保持突起１２，１２が裏側へ突出するようにして配設され、該各保持突起１２，１２の後端面に螺子孔１３，１３が設けられている。
【００１１】
１４，１４は前記枠体５，すなわち箱体７の裏壁７ａ裏面の両側に取着され、後記する遊技盤Ｂに開設された取付孔２４裏側の外周縁に係止する係合部材である。該各係合部材１４，１４は、枠体５とは別個に形成され、合成樹脂材からなり、しかも前記取付孔２４の幅よりやや大きい幅寸法に形成されている。そして、前記裏壁７ａと対向して配置される接合板部１４ａの両端に、箱体７の側壁外面に沿って配置されると共に枠体５の軸方向であって表側に向きかつ側面弧状をなす一対の弾性腕１５，１５を有し、これら弾性腕１５，１５の先端外側面に外側を向く係止爪１６，１６が設けられている。該各係止爪１６，１６は側面山形をなし、その内、裏側へ傾斜する前側面１６ａが前記取付孔２４裏側の外周縁に係止することとなる。また、各山形の係止爪１６，１６の頂部は円弧面１６ｂに形成しておくことが好ましい。これは、前記取付孔２４の内周壁に撓んで摺接するとき引っかかり状態が起るのを防止し両弾性腕１５，１５が滑らかに摺動できるようにするためである。
【００１２】
前記各接合板部１４ａ，１４ａには両側に前記裏壁７ａ裏面の段差に合わせ段差を持たせた支持片部１４ｂ，１４ｂが突設され、両支持片部１４ｂ，１４ｂに裏壁７ａに突設した両保持突起１２，１２の螺子孔１３，１３と対応位置させて螺子挿通孔１７，１７が設けられ、これら螺子挿通孔１７，１７を介して後側から前記各螺子孔１３，１３にビス１８，１８を螺締することにより両係合部材１４，１４が取着される。
【００１３】
しかして、前記両弾性腕１５，１５の外側面には、それぞれ同じ高さ位置、すなわち接合板部１４ａの裏面から同じ長さ寸法位置に安定部としての段部１９，１９が設けられている。これにより、入賞装置Ａの仮固定のため枠体５を取付孔２４に一時的に臨ませたとき、前記段部１９，１９が取付孔２４の表側の外周縁に一時的に受け止められ安定し、この状態では入賞装置Ａは取付孔２４に対して傾きがなく、該取付孔２４に対して真っ直ぐ嵌入できるように配置される。
【００１４】
前記取付基板１の両側に、両受け口４，４に受け入れられたパチンコ球が流入する球入口２０，２０が設けられ、該各球入口２０，２０から流入したパチンコ球は誘導樋２１，２１を介して後方へ排出されるようになっている。また、箱体７内には前記開閉板３をクランク機構（図示せず。）を介して開閉動作させるためのソレノイド２２が装着されている。また、２３は前記取付基板１の裏面適宜位置に突設される複数の位置決めピンである。
【００１５】
一方、遊技盤Ｂには、図４に示すように前記入賞装置Ａの枠体５の外径サイズより一回り大きい取付孔２４が貫設されている。また、遊技盤Ｂの表面であって取付孔２４の周囲に前記各位置決めピン２３が挿入される位置決め孔２５が設けられている。
【００１６】
次に、前記入賞装置Ａの取付手順を説明する。遊技盤Ｂは組立ライン（図示せず。）の上面に水平に配置される。そして、機械（図示せず。）で入賞装置Ａを取付孔２４に嵌入固定する前に、図５に示すように作業者が手で入賞装置Ａを仮固定のため同図鎖線から実線位置のように取付孔２４へ一時的に臨ませる。この際、両弾性腕１５，１５の外側面に設けられた各段部１９，１９が取付孔２４の表側の外周縁に一時的に受け止められる。これにより、入賞装置Ａは両側が均等に押し込まれたこととなり安定し、しかも各段部が同じ高さ位置にあることから取付孔２４に対して真っ直ぐ嵌入できるように配置される。
【００１７】
よって、図６に示すように次の工程で機械で入賞装置Ａを更に押し込み取付孔２４内に嵌入させるときも、入賞装置Ａはそのまま傾くことなく押し込まれ、両段部１９，１９が取付孔２４の外周縁から外れて両弾性腕１５，１５が内側に撓む。そして、係止爪１６，１６の頂部が取付孔２４の内周面を摺接しつつ下動し、最終的に取付孔２４から脱して両弾性腕１５，１５が元の形状に弾性復帰し、その両係止爪１６，１６の前側面１６ａ，１６ａが取付孔２４の裏側の外周縁に当接して係止する。同時に、取付基板１の裏面に突設された各位置決めピン２３が各位置決め孔２５に挿入されることとなり、これにより入賞装置Ａが取付孔２４内にしっかりと嵌入固定される。
【００１８】
前記両段部１９，１９は入賞装置Ａを嵌入するとき、取付孔２４の外周縁から外れ易くするため若干表側に向って傾斜するようにしておくことが好ましい。また、各係止爪１６の頂部を円弧面１６ｂに形成してあるので、取付孔２４の内周壁に引っかかることなく滑らかに摺動し、その嵌入動作がスムーズに行なえる。前記各段部１９，１９は、他に図７に示すように山形に突出する凸状の段部１９ａとしても良い。
【００１９】
図８は他の実施の形態に係る入賞装置Ａ１に係るもので、この実施の形態にあっては両弾性腕１５ａ，１５ａの外側面であって、両係止爪１６，１６の後側に、取付孔２４の内周壁と平行となる安定部としてのストレート面２６，２６を設けてなる。そして、図８実線で示すように作業者が手で入賞装置Ａ１を仮固定のため取付孔２４内に臨ませたとき、両弾性腕１５ａ，１５ａの外側面のストレート面２６，２６が取付孔２４の内周壁と当接し、両係止爪１６，１６が取付孔２４の表側の外周縁に一時的に受け止められることとなる。このようにしても、入賞装置Ａ１は両側が均等に押し込まれたこととなり安定し、図８鎖線に示すように取付孔２４に対して真っ直ぐ嵌入できる。
なお、これら実施の形態にあっては、係合部材１４を枠体５と別個に形成したが、枠体５と一体に成形するようにしても良い。
【００２０】
図９，図１０は盤面部品の他の実施の形態、すなわち風車Ｃに係り、該風車Ｃの取付固定手順を示す。該風車Ｃは、合成樹脂製からなり、取付基板２７の表側に回転円板２８を軸着し、取付基板２７の裏面両側に先端外側面に係止爪２９を設けた弾性腕３０が裏側へ向け突設して構成されている。前記各係止爪２９，２９は山形形状をなし、その裏側面２９ａ，２９ａであって同じ高さ位置に安定部としての段部３１，３１が設けられている。３２は前記取付基板２７の裏面両側に突設される位置決めピンである。
【００２１】
前記風車Ｃにあっては、図９実線に示すように遊技盤Ｂの取付孔３３に風車Ｃを仮固定するため両係止爪２９を取付孔３３に臨ませる。この際、両段部３１が図１０実線に示すように取付孔３３の表側の外周縁に一時的に受け止められ安定し、図９鎖線に示すように取付孔３３に対して真っ直ぐ嵌入できることとなる。そして、両係止爪２９が取付孔３３の裏側外周縁に係止し、同時に各位置決めピン３２が位置決め孔３４に挿入され風車Ｃが嵌入固定される。この風車Ｃにおいても前記各段部３１の表側は、風車Ｃを取り付けるとき、取付孔３３の外周縁から外れ易いように傾斜させておくことが好ましい。前記各段部３１，３１は、他に図１１に示すように窪ませた段部３１ａ、図１２に示すように山形に突出する段部３１ｂ、更には図１３に示すように係止爪２９の先端部を伸ばしてガイド片部３１ｃを一体に設け、該ガイド片部３１ｃの基端部の外側面に段部３１ｄが設けられるようにしても良い。
【００２２】
また、図１４，図１５も盤面部品の他の実施の形態であって、遊技盤の前面に敷設されるガイドレールの外側に該ガイドレールを囲うように取り付けられる飾り枠に係り、該飾り枠の取付手順を示す。該飾り枠Ｄは、合成樹脂製からなり、図１４に示すように平板状の飾り板部３５ａの外周縁に補強用の囲板部３５ｂが一体に設けられ、前記飾り板部３５ａ裏面の上下位置にそれぞれ先端外側面に互いに上下逆を向く係止爪３６を設けた弾性腕３７が裏側へ向け突設して構成されている。前記各係止爪３６，３６は山形形状をなし、その裏側面３６ａ，３６ａであって同じ高さ位置に安定部としての切欠状の段部３８，３８が設けられている。
【００２３】
前記飾り枠Ｄにあっては、図１５実線に示すように遊技盤Ｂの上面に飾り枠Ｄを仮固定するため両係止爪３６を取付孔３９に臨ませる。この際、両段部３８が図１５実線に示すように取付孔３９の表側の外周縁に一時的に受け止められて安定し、図１５鎖線に示すように取付孔３９に対して真っ直ぐ嵌入できることとなる。そして、両係止爪３６が取付孔３９の裏側外周縁に係止して飾り枠Ｄが固定される。この飾り枠Ｄにおいても前記各段部３８の表側は、飾り枠Ｄを取り外すとき、取付孔３９の外周縁から外れ易いように傾斜させておくことが好ましい。
【００２４】
図１６，図１７も他の実施の形態に係る盤面部品を示すもので、前記飾り枠に係る。なお、同じ部位は同じ番号を付すことによって詳しい説明は省略する。すなわち、該飾り枠Ｄ１は、図１６に示すように飾り板部３５ａ裏面の上下位置にそれぞれ先端に互いに内側を向く係止爪３６を設けた弾性腕３７が裏側へ向け一体に突設して構成されている。前記各係止爪３６も山形形状をなし、その裏側面３６ａ，３６ａであって同じ高さ位置に安定部としての切欠状の段部３８，３８が設けられている。
【００２５】
前記飾り枠Ｄ１にあっては、図１７実線に示すように遊技盤Ｂの上面に飾り枠Ｄ１を仮固定するため両側の一対の係止爪３６，３６を各取付孔３９ａ，３９ａに臨ませる。この際、各係止爪３６，３６の両段部３８，３８が図１７実線に示すように各取付孔３９ａ，３９ａの表側の外周縁に一時的に受け止められて安定し、図１７鎖線に示すように各取付孔３９ａ，３９ａに対して飾り枠Ｄ１が真っ直ぐ嵌入できることとなる。そして、両係止爪３６が各取付孔３９ａ，３９ａの裏側外周縁に係止して飾り枠Ｄ１が固定される。この飾り枠Ｄ１においても、前記各段部３８の表側は飾り枠Ｄ１を取り付けるとき、各取付孔３９ａの外周縁から外れ易いように傾斜させておくことが好ましい。
【００２６】
更に、図１８，図１９も盤面部品の他の実施の形態であって、前記と同様飾り枠に係る。なお、前記飾り枠Ｄと同一部位は同じ番号を付すことにより詳しい説明は省略する。この飾り枠Ｅは合成樹脂製からなり、図１８に示すように、裏面の上下位置にそれぞれ飾り枠Ｅの裏側に向きかつ先端部４０ａが先細状に窄まる取付杆４０が突設されている。該各取付杆４０は横断面が十文字状になるように形成され、遊技盤Ｂに開設された取付孔４１より僅かに太径をなす。そして、該各取付杆４０の外周面には同じ高さ位置で先端部４０ａの基端側の端縁に僅かに突出する安定部としての突起状の段部４２が設けられている。これら段部４２は図１９に示すように、両側の取付杆４０，４０で互いに外側に位置するようにして設けられることが好ましいが、一個所のみでなく取付杆４０の外周面に数個所設けても良い。
【００２７】
この場合も、図１９に示すように遊技盤Ｂの上面に飾り枠Ｅを仮固定するため両取付杆４０，４０の先端部４０ａ，４０ａを各取付孔４１，４１に臨ませたとき、両段部４２，４２が各取付孔４１，４１の表側の外周縁に一時的に受け止められて安定し、各取付杆４０，４０が各取付孔４１，４１に対し真っ直ぐ嵌入できることとなる。
【００２８】
なお、上記いずれの実施の形態にあっても、風車Ｃまたは飾り枠Ｄ，Ｄ１に弾性腕３０，３７が一体に成形されているが、風車Ｃまたは飾り枠Ｄ，Ｄ１と弾性腕３０，３７を別個に成形するようにしても良い。また、本発明にあっては盤面部品として入賞装置Ａ，Ａ１、風車Ｃ、飾り枠Ｄ，Ｄ１，Ｅについて説明したが、他に一般入賞口、ランプ飾りなど他の盤面部品についても同様に利用できること勿論である。
【００２９】
【発明の効果】
以上述べたように、本発明に係るパチンコ遊技機の盤面部品は、その裏側に、取付孔の所定位置に係止する複数の弾性腕または取付杆を設け、前記弾性腕の所定の同じ高さ位置または取付杆にあっては同じ高さ位置で先細状に窄まる先端部の基端側の端縁にそれぞれ安定部を設けてなるから、盤面部品を仮固定するため取付孔へ一時的に臨ませるだけで、取付孔の外周縁に前記各安定部が一時的に受け止められ安定し、容易に左右均等に配置されることとなり、その作業が楽でしかも盤面部品を取付孔に対して真っ直ぐ嵌入することができる。これにより、取付作業時の不良品の発生が抑えられ、更に作業性引いては生産能率の向上を図ることができるという効果を有する。
