In addition, a donut-shaped middle wall 89 </ b> C having a screw hole 89 </ b> B in the center is formed at a position approximately 1/3 above the height of the side wall 73 from the bottom wall 70 in the attachment portions 89 and 89. In this way, a stepped hole continuing from the bottom wall 70 side is formed, and as shown in FIG. 11, the mounting projections 35 of the tank rail 20 are inserted from the bottom wall 70 side and tightened to tighten the storage case 60. The tank rail 20 is fixed (a hole from the bottom wall 70 to the middle wall 89 corresponds to the engaging portion of the present invention).

  The attachment portions 89 and 89 are formed higher than the side wall 73, and engaging portions 93 and 93 of the lid 63 provided at positions corresponding to the attachment portions 89 and 89 in a state where the lid 63 is closed to the case 67. Engageable. The engaging portion 93 of the lid 63 has a cylindrical shape with both ends having an inner diameter slightly larger than the outer diameter of the attaching portions 89 and 89 of the case 67. The engaging portions 93 and 93 of the lid 63 loosely fit the tips of the mounting portions 89 and 89 with the lid 63 closed to prevent the displacement of the lid 63 with respect to the case 67. In the portion of the lid 63 where the engaging portions 93 are formed, a through-hole 95 (corresponding to the working hole of the present invention) having the same diameter and the same diameter as the inner hole is opened, and the lid 63 is closed. Even in this state, the screw can be passed through the screw hole 89B of the mounting portion 89.

The bottom wall 70 of the case 67 is formed with a pair of cylindrical winding holding portions 97, 97 that are arranged at predetermined intervals in the front-rear direction and that are close to the right side wall 73B. The portion 45A can be held in a wound state.
The winding holding portions 97 and 97 are formed so as to protrude from the bottom wall 70 of the case 67 with a height that can substantially contact the inner surface of the lid 63 with the lid 63 closed, and the lid 63 is closed to the case 67. In this state, it is possible to engage with engaging portions 99, 99 of the lid 63 provided at a position corresponding to the winding holding portions 97, 97. The engaging portions 99 and 99 have a cylindrical shape having an inner diameter slightly larger than the outer diameter of the winding holding portions 97 and 97. The engaging portions 99 and 99 of the lid 63 loosely fit the tips of the winding holding portions 97 and 97 with the lid 63 closed to prevent the displacement of the lid 63 with respect to the case 67.

A two-stage pressing portion 101 is formed to protrude inward at the front end of the lid 63 and at a position overlapping the opening 77 in a state where the lid 63 is aligned with the case 67. In the holding part 101, the front stage 101A is lower than the rear stage 101B by the amount of protrusion of the flange 49B. When the power connector 49 is accommodated and the lid 63 is closed, the front stage 101A contacts the flange 49B of the power connector 49. The rear stage 101B is in contact with the base end side of the flange 49B.
As shown in FIG. 11, the flange 49 </ b> B of the power connector 49 is sandwiched between the front stage 101 </ b> A of the press part 101 and the bottom wall 70 of the case 67, and the rear stage 101 </ b> B of the press part 101 and the contact protrusion 91 Since the base end side of the flange 49B of the power connector 49 is sandwiched between the power connector 49 and the power connector 49, the power connector 49 is restricted in the vertical direction, and the posture of the power connector 49 with respect to the bottom wall 70 is kept horizontal. Has been.

Next, the effect of this embodiment is demonstrated.
According to the present embodiment, the vibrator 40 is mounted so that its mounting position can be changed. Therefore, the vibrator 40 can be efficiently moved by moving the vibrator 40 to a place where ball clogging is likely to occur for each amusement store or for each pachinko machine. Ball clogging can be eliminated.
Further, the attachment member 35 that is not used for attaching the vibrator 40 can be effectively used for attaching the storage case 60.
Furthermore, since the storage case 60 is attached to the attachment member 35 that was not used for attaching the vibrator 40 and the attachment member 35 is hidden, the attachment member 35 is prevented from interfering with work.

In the present embodiment, generally, a position where ball clogging is likely to occur, in other words, a position where the effect of eliminating the clogging of the vibrator 40 when the vibrator 40 is disposed, specifically, (1) Position near the beginning of the flow path restriction by the ceiling plate 30 (downstream mounting member 35C), (2) position near the entrance of the tank rail 20 (upstream mounting member 35A), (3) bottom of the tank rail 20 The attachment member 35 is arranged at the position of the step portion 21A where the slope of the wall 21 changes (attachment member 35C at the downstream position).
Therefore, in the amusement store, the vibrator 40 can be displaced to a position with a high ball clogging effect simply by engaging the vibrator 40 with the attachment member 35.

Moreover, in this embodiment, since the attaching part 35 is provided in the side wall 22 on the back side of the pachinko machine 10, the vibrator 40 and the storage case 60 can be easily attached.
Further, in this embodiment, since the attachment member 35 is integrally formed with the tank rail 20, the vibration of the vibrator is at the joint portion as compared with the configuration in which the attachment member 35 is formed separately from the tank rail 20 and joined. It is transmitted to the pachinko sphere without being attenuated.
In this embodiment, the vibrator 40 and the storage case 60 are supported and fixed to the tank rail 20 at two points. Therefore, even if the pachinko ball flows down and the tank rail 20 vibrates, the vibrator 40 and the storage case 60 are detached from the tank rail 20. The fear is reduced.

Furthermore, in this embodiment, the following effects are also exhibited.
The pachinko machine 10 is manufactured by assembling various parts on the line. During this assembly, the power cord 45 is housed in the housing case 60 and the lid 63 is closed (see FIG. 7). Therefore, there is no possibility that the power cord 45 is caught and obstructs other assembling work.
At the final stage of manufacture, a quality inspection is performed to check whether the pachinko machine 10 operates normally.
In this quality inspection, an operator fits a power supply connector (not shown) and the power connector 49, but the power connector 49 is held and fixed by the holding and fixing portion 81. The quality inspection work can be performed smoothly by simply inserting the power connector into the power connector 49. Of course, depending on the operator, there may be cases where the storage case 60 and other places of the pachinko machine 10 (for example, game boards, tank rails, etc.) are provided, but even in this case, in this embodiment, the terminal 49C Since the position is fixed with respect to the pachinko machine 10, it is sufficient to simply put a hand on the storage case 60 and the like, and the workability is improved as compared with the case where the power connector 49 is not held and fixed.

After this quality inspection, the pachinko machine 10 is shipped. In the present embodiment, the power connector 49 is also held and fixed as well as the cord 45A as in the conventional harness clamp, and the lid 63 is shipped in a locked state. Therefore, even if the pachinko machine 10 vibrates due to transportation in the middle of shipment, there is no possibility that the power cord 45 can be unwound.
When the pachinko machine 10 arrives at the amusement store, the pachinko machine 10 is installed. At this time, the lid 63 is opened and the power cord 45 is extended to connect to the power source.
Moreover, in this embodiment, when the pachinko machine 10 is installed in an amusement store, the surplus cord 45A can be stored and the wiring on the back of the pachinko machine 10 can be cleaned. Therefore, the work efficiency when the store clerk corrects the failure of the pachinko machine 10 in the amusement store is improved.

Further, since the cord 45A can be wound around the winding holding portions 97 and 97 and stored, the long cord 45A can be stored compactly.
Moreover, since the constriction holding part 87 clamps the constriction part 49A of the power connector 49, the movement of the power connector 49 in the axial direction is effectively restricted.
Further, when the cord 45A is stored in the case 67 and the lid 63 is closed, the cord 45A is not exposed to the outside, so that the cord 45A can be prevented from being caught and obstructing the work.
In addition, since the fitting state between the case 67 and the lid 63 is maintained by the lock piece 71 and the lock projection 63A, the lid is prevented from being inadvertently opened.
Further, when the lid 63 is closed, the power connector 49 is held between the pressing portion 101 and the bottom wall 70 to prevent its loose movement.

In addition, the pressing portion 101 is formed in a step shape, abuts on both the base end side of the power connector 49 and the flange 49 </ b> B, and the power connector 49 is securely pressed against the bottom wall 70 of the case 67.
Further, since the terminal surface of the power connector 49 is exposed even when the lid 63 is closed, it can be connected to a power source for quality inspection without opening the lid 63, and quality inspection becomes easy.
Further, when the power connector 49 is fitted in the opening 77 and the lid 63 is closed, the outer peripheral portion of the fitting surface of the power connector 49 is sandwiched along the entire edge by the opening edge of the opening 77, and the power connector The wobbling around the front end of 49 is prevented, and quality inspection becomes easy.

Further, since the rear surface of the flange 49B of the power connector 49 abuts on the flange abutting wall 85 and the step portion 83D, the front end surface of the power connector 49 and the side wall 73 of the case 67 are substantially flush with each other. It is possible to prevent the front end surface of the power connector 49 from being caught on the side wall 73 of the case 67 and hindering work. Further, the appearance of the side surface of the case 67 can be made clear.
Further, since the power connector 49 is lifted at the base end portion by the abutting protrusion 91 and is held in the case 67 in a substantially balanced posture with respect to the bottom wall 70, the terminal 49C of the power connector 49 is also the bottom wall. 70 and a substantially parallel posture, and the mating connector can be easily inserted and removed.
Further, since the through-hole 95 is formed in the lid 63, the screw can be passed through the screw hole 89B of the attachment portion 89 even when the lid 63 is closed when the storage case 60 is attached to the tank rail 20.
Further, since the storage case 60 can be attached to a plurality of positions on the tank rail 20, it can flexibly correspond to the power supply position on the amusement store (hall) side.
The mounting members 35 of the plurality of tank rails 20 have a common structure, and the mounting portions of the vibrator 40 and the storage case 60 have a common structure. Therefore, the mounting structure can be simplified.
Further, the mounting member 35 of the tank rail 20 has a shaft shape, and the mounting portions of the vibrator 40 and the storage case 60 have a hole structure. Therefore, since the attachment member 35 is inserted while being guided by the step hole 40D or the like of the vibrator 40 or the like, the positioning becomes easy.
