Description

[0001]
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a game board of a pachinko machine, and more particularly, to protection of an obstacle nail implanted in the game board.
[0002]
[Prior art]
Currently most pachinko machines have a pachinko machine body and a game board formed separately, and after both are completed separately, the game board can be freely attached to and detached from the pachinko machine body, and only the game board is removed as necessary. This is a so-called separation-type pachinko machine that can be freely exchanged with other game boards.
Since this separation-type pachinko machine (hereinafter simply referred to as a pachinko machine) is independent of the game board from the pachinko machine body, only the game board is manufactured independently for assembly to the pachinko machine body and for replacement. Prepare as a thing.
[0003]
In this way, the game board is manufactured independently as a separate body from the main body of the pachinko machine, but currently this game board is usually manufactured through a production line under a mass production system.
A game board manufactured through a production line is obtained by cutting out a main board of a game board from an original board made of plywood, affixing a printed plastic sheet (cell version) to be a pattern on the surface of the main board, and then this sheet. Punching is performed through a punching machine that determines the position where the obstacle nail is driven into the surface, and then a hole is opened in the position where the prize-winning device or display device is attached to the main body plate by the router processing machine, and unnecessary portions around the plate are cut off. To the next nailing machine.
[0004]
The cutting machine that cuts the main body plate from the original plate, cell plate sticking machine, punching processing machine, and transfer to the nailing machine through the router processing machine is generally carried on a conveyor by stacking multiple main body plates. It has become normal.
During this time, the main body plate is a flat plate with the cell plate attached, so it is convenient to transport it in a stacked state, and it is convenient because it does not take up space for waiting in the next processing step. .
[0005]
After such a process, a large number of obstacle nails are driven into the main body plate through the cell plate by a nailing machine based on the design.
The nail-cut main plate is put on the conveyor again at the end of the shot, and sent to the next guide rail or decoration frame with the guide rail assembled integrally. After attaching the winning pocket (winning device) etc. to the cell plate surface, usually the main plate is stacked again, and then the next large winning device, display device, and large parts such as a control circuit board for controlling the game It is made to wait for the installation of.
[0006]
The installation process of the small rails such as the guide rails and wind turbines until the installation process of the large parts is an assembly and assembly process of the basic parts in the game board, and has been standardized to some extent in the game board. However, the mounting process for the next large-scale parts corresponds to the individualization of the game board, and the mounting work becomes complicated as the parts become complicated, and the assembly processing speed decreases accordingly. .
For this reason, the half-processed game board that has finished nailing and mounting of small parts has a slight unevenness as a whole, but it is laminated to eliminate the restriction of the waiting place, helping that it is flat. It is supposed to make it wait in the state made to do.
[0007]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
However, stacking the game boards after nailing is done so that the front of the board on which the nail is planted is faced upward and the game board on which nail is completed is placed on top of it and the back of the board is directly supported by the nail. As a result, the weight of all the game boards stacked on top of each other is directly applied to the nails of the lower game board, resulting in a large burden and a problem that adversely affects the obstacle nails.
[0008]
Generally, about 250 obstacle nails are hit on the game board on average, but it is normal to have 20 to 30 game boards stacked for standby. Such weight is considerable and there is a great risk that the nail driving angle will be changed.
[0009]
For this reason, in the past, in spite of being accurately driven into a fixed position at a certain angle in advance by a nail driver, it was actually inspected at the time of product shipment. In fact, after being installed in the amusement hall, careful nail adjustments were made by skilled workers, and correction work was being performed at the same time as confirming the deviation.
[0010]
The present invention has been developed for the purpose of improving such a situation, and in the manufacturing process of the game board, after the nail driving process is completed, the process proceeds to the assembly process of the next large parts. In the meantime, when stacking a large number of semi-processed game boards for standby, the obstacle nails implanted during the stacking work are bent by the weight of the game boards stacked on top of each other, and the driving angle is changed. It is intended to provide a pachinko machine game board that is not allowed.
[0011]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
That is, in order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a guide for injecting a hitting nail on the surface of the game board in the manufacturing process of the game board, further forming a game part on the board surface, and guiding a hit ball to the game part. In a pachinko machine game board with a rail attached, the height of the obstacle nail is formed lower than the height of the guide rail, thereby stacking the game boards on which the obstacle nails are embedded, It is to prevent the direct contact between the game board and the obstacle nail planted by abutting the guide rail on the back of the board, and protect the obstacle nail from the weight of the stacked game boards.
[0013]
Further, the present invention is described in detail. The present invention surrounds and forms a game part in the front center part of the board and includes a guide rail for guiding a hit ball to the game part, while a winning device and a display device are provided at appropriate positions of the game part. In the pachinko machine game board in which a windmill or the like is appropriately disposed and a failure nail is appropriately planted in another appropriate position, the height of the failure nail is lower than the height of the guide rail. It is to provide a pachinko machine game board.
[0017]
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
[Example 1]
FIG. 1 is a front view of a game board of a pachinko machine according to the present invention, and FIG. 2 is an enlarged cross-sectional view partially omitted along the line AA in FIG.
The game board 1 shown here is a so-called separation-type pachinko machine game board that is freely attached to and detached from the pachinko machine body. As is widely known, the game board itself is based on a plate body obtained by cutting a thick plywood into a substantially square shape, and a plastic sheet expressing a pattern on its surface, a so-called cell plate (not shown) is attached via an adhesive. A hitting ball is guided from the launching device to the surface to which the cell plate is attached, and a guide rail 3 surrounding and forming the game portion 2 is attached to the center of the surface.
[0018]
The guide rail 3 includes an outer rail 3a that guides the hit ball to the game unit 2 and an inner rail 3b that surrounds and forms the game unit 2 continuously with the outer rail, and the game unit surrounded by the guide rail 3 2 includes a display device 4 at the upper center, a start winning opening (winning device) 5 for operating the display device 4 immediately below to start a predetermined game condition (winning conditions), and a front face below that. A large winning device 7 that allows a large amount of winning balls to jump in by opening and closing the door 6 is installed, and a plurality of small winning devices 8 and 9 collide with the falling balls on both sides of the central facility. A small decorative member, that is, a windmill 10 is installed which rotates upon receiving and changes the direction of the falling ball by this rotation.
[0019]
In the figure, 11 is an obstacle nail that is appropriately planted in other areas of the game unit 2 where the above-mentioned facilities are arranged, and 12 is a decorative frame provided outside the guide rail 3, that is, on the periphery of the surface of the game board 1. is there.
As is well known, the obstacle nail 11 is an obstacle of a hit ball that is thrown into the game unit 2 and changes the falling direction. The obstacle nail 11 is implanted in substantially the entire area of the game unit 2 for each purpose. In particular, the obstacle nail 11 to be planted in the vicinity of the entrance of the prize winning device is carefully selected as a life nail with respect to the distance between the nails and the driving angle.
[0020]
As shown in FIG. 2, the obstacle nail 11 has a height that does not protrude from the front edge of the guide rail 3 by making the height of all the nails lower than the height of the guide rail 3, that is, the guide rail. It is planted at a height where there is a difference between the 3 protruding heights.
[0021]
The decoration frame 12 is provided with a display lamp and a decoration lamp for displaying the front of the game board 1 and for notifying the player when a hit ball enters the winning device or when the display device 4 starts moving display. The built-in lamp is turned on or blinked to display the lamp. The lamp is formed of a transparent or translucent plastic material, and the lamps (not shown) are accommodated in a hollow interior 13.
[0022]
The decorative frame 12 in this embodiment is provided on the peripheral edge of the surface of the game board 1 so as to surround the outside of the guide rail 3. Further, as shown in FIG. 2, the surface 12a is slightly lower than the height of the guide rail 3 from the game board, and rib-like ridges 14 are projected along the outer edge of the surface. The height is aligned with the height of the guide rail 3 and is higher than the height of the obstacle nail 11.
The protrusion 14 is provided along the outer edge of the decorative frame 12 so that it is located behind the glass plate mounting frame (gold frame) that covers the front surface of the game board 1 when in use and is directly visible to the player. Will not be.
[0023]
Since the present invention is configured as described above, a cell plate is attached to the surface of the game board, and then a failure nail 11 is implanted, and the guide rail 3 is fixed so as to surround the failure nail. When the game board 1 in a semi-processed state in which the decorative frame 12 is fixed so as to surround the rail is put on standby in the production line for the process of assembling parts such as the next large prize winning device, the other game board When stacked together, as shown in FIG. 2, the lower game board 1 receives the rear surface of the upper game board 11 with the guide rail 3 or the decorative frame 12 having the same height as the guide rail 3.
[0024]
For this reason, when the stacked game boards are stacked with the front side facing up, the lower game board does not directly contact the obstacle nail 11 against the back of the upper game board. It is freed from the danger of deformation due to the weight of the game board, and since it is not subject to impact during stacking work, it can work with peace of mind.
[0028]
【The invention's effect】
As described above, the present invention has been described with reference to the embodiments. According to the present invention, as apparent from the above configuration, the obstacle nail 11 is implanted on the surface of the game board, the guide rail 3 is fixed, and the decorative frame 12, When a plurality of game boards in a half-processed state with 15 fixed are stacked on top of each other in the middle of the production line or stocked, the obstacle nails 11 implanted on the game board surface are guided by the guide rails 3 surrounding them. since it has been never directly touch the Yu Technical Edition by guarded, implant because no, also does not receive directly the impact of overlapping even during stacking operations to deform under the weight of the game board to be laminated angle Will not be changed.
[0029]
Further, as described above, since the obstacle nail 11 is protected by the guide rail 3, when packing at the time of shipment, even if the game boards 1 face each other for packing in a compact and efficient packing, mutual obstacles will occur. Since nails do not collide, they can be safely packed. Of course, since the guide rails face each other in this case, it can be dealt with by inserting a thin cushion material between them, and the packaging can be reduced in size.
[0030]
As a matter of course, according to the present invention, a faulty nail that is driven at a predetermined angle by a nail driver at a predetermined angle is maintained in that state, so that it is possible to provide a stable product and In the inspection, or after installation in the amusement hall, it becomes easy to adjust the nail, and it is extremely effective without requiring the labor of skilled workers.
