FIG. 7 shows a horizontal cross section of the front passage 30. In the figure, the glass frame 13 is rotated so as to be parallel to the game board 24, and the game area 25 is formed from the front side of the glass 13.
It is substantially closed by a. At this time, the first passage component 30A and the second passage component 30B formed on the fixed end side in the rotation of the glass frame 13 overlap in the front-rear direction. That is, a substantially cylindrical hollow space is formed by the first passage component 30A having a concave shape on the back side and the second passage component 30B having a concave shape on the front side. Is done. FIG.
As described in the above, it is possible to supply a game ball to the inside of the hollow space from the back side, and the supplied game ball falls down in the hollow space (front passage 30). Become.

Further, the groove width of the front passage 30 is made by facing the groove-like second passage constitution portion 30B recessed on the front side from the front side with respect to the groove-like first passage constitution portion 30A recessed on the back side. Can be secured widely. Accordingly, a large amount of game balls are dispensed per unit time 19
Even if the game is paid out, the game ball can be distributed without causing the front passage 30 to be clogged. Since the 2nd channel | path structure part 30B is formed transparently, the mode of the game ball which distribute | circulates the inside of the front channel | path 30 can be visually recognized. Therefore, the player can realize how many game balls are paid out as prize balls. In addition, by showing the player the state of the game ball flowing down substantially vertically, the decoration and taste of the pachinko gaming machine 10 can be improved.

FIG. 8 also shows a horizontal cross section of the front passage 30. In the figure, the glass frame 13 is rotated so as to be inclined with respect to the game board 24, and the game area 25 is opened to the front side. Therefore, the angle adjustment of the nail disposed in the game area 25 and maintenance of various members can be performed in the state shown in FIG. In this state, the second passage component 30B formed in the rotatable glass frame 13 is the first passage component 30A of the main body frame 12.
Has been separated from. That is, the first passage constituting portion 30 that constitutes the front passage 30.
A and the second passage constituting portion 30B are separated.

By the way, a large amount of game balls circulate in the front passage 30 and are easily contaminated. Moreover, since it is possible for the player to visually recognize the inside of the front passage 30, it is necessary to clean frequently so as not to impair the appearance. On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 8, the inner wall surface of the front passage 30 can be exposed to the outside when the first passage constitution portion 30A and the second passage constitution portion 30B are separated. 30 inner wall surfaces can be easily cleaned. Therefore, the front passage 30 that is easily noticeable by the player can be kept clean, and the appearance of the pachinko gaming machine 10 can be maintained well. In addition, since the glass frame 13 is frequently opened for nail adjustment and the like,
It is convenient because it can be cleaned each time.

As shown in FIG. 4, the front passage 30 terminates at an outlet 33 (the sign of FIG. 4 is corrected) formed at the lower end of the glass frame 13. Accordingly, the game ball flowing down the front passage 30 is discharged downward from the outlet 33. A substantially cylindrical guide path 40 having an upper end opened at a position that can face the outlet 33 of the front passage 30 is provided. Therefore, the game ball that has flowed down the front passage 30 falls to the guide path 40 and flows down inside the guide path 40. The upper portion of the guide path 40 has the axial direction oriented vertically, and the side of the upper plate 14 I am grazing. Guide route 4
The lower part of 0 is bent, and a lower dish outlet 42 formed at the tip is positioned inside the lower dish 15. Therefore, the game ball that finally reaches the lower dish outlet 42 can be released to the lower dish 15.

The lower part of the guide path 40 is inclined so that the traveling direction of the game ball in the lower part of the guide path 40 is substantially horizontal in the width direction. Therefore, the game ball can be landed substantially parallel to the bottom surface of the lower plate 15, and the impact at the time of landing can be reduced. Further, since the lower plate 15 is formed wider in the width direction, it is possible to prevent the game balls released in the width direction from falling down from the lower plate 15.

FIG. 9 shows a vertical cross section of the upper portion of the guide path 40. In the figure, the guide path 40 is connected to the front passage 30 at the upper end. The guide path 40 is in close contact with the side surface of the upper plate 14, and an upper plate outlet 41 is formed in a close contact portion with the upper plate 14. On the other hand, an introduction hole 14 a is also formed in a portion of the upper plate 14 that faces the upper plate outlet 41. A substantially plate-shaped guide vane 44 projects from the lower end of the upper dish outlet 41 toward the inside. The guide wing 44 is the upper plate outlet 41.
The game ball on the guide wing 44 flows downward toward the upper plate outlet 41. A substantially plate-shaped guide vane 43 projects inward from the guide vane 44 inside the guide path 40. The guide wing 43 terminates above the guide wing 44 and is inclined so as to become lower toward the tip. The distance between the tip of the guide wing 43 and the inner wall of the guide path 40 is at least as large as the diameter of the game ball.

By doing so, the game ball that falls inside the guide path 40 collides with the guide wing 43 and flows down on the guide wing 43, so that the game sphere can be dropped on the guide wing 44. In addition, a game ball that does not fall on the guide wing 43 falls directly on the guide wing 44. In any case, the game ball can be dropped onto the guide wing 44 and the game ball can be guided to the upper plate 14. Since the game ball guided to the upper plate 14 is temporarily stored in the upper plate 14 and guided to the launching mechanism 16a, the game ball distributed through the front passage 30 can be used for the game.

FIG. 10 shows a state in which the game balls stored in the upper plate 14 are full. In the drawing, the full game ball stays on the introduction hole 14 a and the guide wing 44. In this state, when a game ball falls on the guide wing 44, the game ball staying on the guide wing 44
The dropped game ball collides and is bounced back. The rebounded game ball falls from the guide wing 44 and further falls downward in the guide path 40. Then, the game ball dropped from the guide wing 44 is finally discharged to the lower plate 15. With this configuration, the game ball can be discharged to the lower plate 15 only when the game ball stored in the upper plate 14 is full.

In the present embodiment, by forming the front passage 30 on the front side of the gaming area 25 in the pachinko gaming machine 10, it is possible to prevent the payout passage from being formed on the back side of the pachinko gaming machine 10. Thereby, a wide space on the back side of the pachinko gaming machine 10 can be secured, and more mechanism members can be disposed on the back side of the pachinko gaming machine 10. For example, the liquid crystal display device 25b disposed in the center of the game area can be enlarged. Further, the front passage 3 extends over the glass frame 13 and the main body frame 12.
Since 0 is embedded, the space on the side of the game area 25 can be used efficiently. It is desirable to provide the front passage 30 outside the game area 25 so as not to hinder the visibility of the game area 25.

(2) Second embodiment:
FIG. 11 shows the pachinko gaming machine according to the second embodiment as seen from an oblique direction. In the figure, the front passage 130 has a configuration substantially similar to that of the first embodiment.
30 terminates at the lower end of the glass frame 113. FIG. 12 shows the main body frame 112 as viewed obliquely. In the figure, a glass frame 113 indicated by a broken line is rotated so as to open the game area 125 to the front side. Second passage component 130B provided in the glass frame 113
Is formed so as to be recessed in the front side, and an outlet 133 is formed by opening the lower end downward.

When the glass frame 113 is rotated so that the game area 125 is closed from the front side, an opening 141 that can face the outlet 133 is formed in the main body frame 112. An opening 141 that can face the outlet 133 when the glass frame 113 is rotated so as to close the game area 125 is formed in the main body frame 112. On the other hand, an upper plate outlet 142 that can discharge game balls into the upper plate 114.
A guide passage 140 that allows the opening 141 and the upper dish outlet 142 to communicate with each other is embedded in the main body frame 112. Therefore, the game balls discharged from the exit of the front passage 130 are used as the upper plate 1
14 can be guided inside. The game ball guided to the upper plate 114 is temporarily the upper plate 11.
4 and guided to the launching mechanism 116a, it is possible to use the game balls that have circulated through the front passage 130 for games. Thus, by embedding the guide passage 140 in the main body frame 112, the game ball can be guided to the upper plate 114 at the shortest distance, and the pachinko gaming machine 110 can be compactly formed.

Further, an overflow passage 143 is embedded in the main body frame 112, and the overflow passage 143 is branched from the guide passage 140 immediately before the upper plate outlet 142. A lower tray outlet 144 is formed at the end of the overflow passage 143 so that game balls flowing through the overflow passage 143 can be discharged to the lower tray 115. The game balls flowing through the guide passage 140 are guided to the upper plate outlet 142 in principle, but when the game balls are filled near the upper plate outlet 142, the game balls flow down to the upper plate outlet 142. This is hindered by filled game balls. Then, the game ball that has lost its destination can flow into the overflow passage 143. That is, the game ball can be discharged to the lower plate 115 only when the game ball stored in the upper plate 114 is full.

130 A of 1st channel | path components are formed so that it may protrude from the main body frame 112 to the front side. 130 A of 1st channel | path components are orientated vertically like the 2nd channel | path component 130B, and it protrudes so that a cross section may become a rectangular shape. The first passage component 130A is formed at a position waiting for the rotation of the second passage component 130B when the glass frame 113 is rotated so that the game area 125 is closed from the front side. Second passage component 130B
It is possible to fit inside.

FIG. 14 shows a horizontal section of the front passage 130 in a state where the first passage constitution portion 130A is fitted inside the second passage constitution portion 130B. In the figure, the second passage component 1
When the first passage constituting portion 130A is fitted inside 30B, the second passage constituting portion 13 is provided.
A front passage 130 in which 0B and the first passage constituting portion 130A are combined is formed. Thereby, it is possible to distribute the game balls inside the front passage 130 without detaching them outside. Further, since the shape of the gap formed between the main body frame 112 and the glass frame 113 on the outside of the front passage 130 can be bent into a substantially L shape, the front passage 130 is formed from the gap.
It is possible to prevent foreign matter from entering the inside of the.

Furthermore, by providing the first passage component 130A on the front side, the distribution position of the game balls in the front passage 130 can be raised to the front side. Accordingly, the game ball can be caused to flow down at a position closer to the player, and it can be surely recognized that the game ball has been paid out. Depending on the amount of protrusion of the first passage component 130A, the second passage component 13
You may form 0B so that it may protrude ahead largely. In this case, the front passage 130 can be made more conspicuous.

FIG. 15 shows a state in which the glass frame 113 is rotated so that the game area 125 is opened to the front side. In the figure, the first passage constituting portion 130A and the second passage constituting portion 130B are separated from each other, and the front passage 130 is separated. Therefore, also in the present embodiment, the inside of the front passage 130 can be easily cleaned as in the first embodiment. Of course, because a path for paying out the game ball is not formed on the back side of the pachinko gaming machine 110,
A wide space on the back side of the pachinko gaming machine 110 can be secured.

By disposing the front passage 130 at a position sandwiched between the glass frame 113 and the main body frame 112, the front passage 130 cannot be touched from the outside unless the glass frame 113 is rotated. Usually, since the glass frame 113 is provided with a locking mechanism, the glass frame 11 is illegally used.
It is impossible to rotate 3. Therefore, it is possible to prevent fraud from being performed on the front passage 130.

Even if the lock is released and the glass frame 113 can be rotated, the front passage 130 is located on the rotation fixed end side of the glass frame 113, so that the glass frame 113 is slightly rotated. Even if a hand is put into the gap between the free end side of the glass frame 113 and the main body frame 112 formed at the time, the front passage 130 cannot be reached. That is, in order to apply an unauthorized operation to the front passage 130, the glass frame 113 must be almost fully opened, so that it is possible to prevent unauthorized operation. On the other hand, if the lock is properly opened and the glass frame 113 is rotated, maintenance and cleaning can be easily performed while viewing the front passage 230. Therefore, even when a ball clogging or the like occurs in the front passage 130, it is possible to quickly take action without rotating the main body frame 112 with respect to the outer frame 111.

(3) Third embodiment:
FIG. 16 shows a cross section of the front passage according to the third embodiment. In the figure,
Since the front passage 230 has substantially the same configuration as that of the second embodiment, only differences will be described. The front passage 230 is attached to the free end side of the rotation of the glass frame 213. In this way, by attaching the front passage 230 to the rotation free end side, the first passage constituent portion 230A and the second passage constituent portion 2 are opened by slightly opening the glass frame 213.
30B can be greatly separated. Further, a glass frame 213 formed on the free end side.
230A and second passage component 230B with respect to the gap between the main body frame 212 and the main body frame 212
Therefore, the front passage 230 can be cleaned only by rotating the glass frame 213 a little. Therefore, maintainability of the front passage 230 is improved. However, when the anti-fraudability is more important than the maintainability, it is desirable to attach the front passage to the rotation fixed end side as in the second embodiment.

As described above, when the glass frame is rotated in the present invention, the front passage is separated into the first passage constituent portion and the second passage constituent portion. Then, there is a problem that the game balls circulating in the front passage and the game balls trying to flow into the front passage cannot be restrained, and these game balls are scattered. On the other hand, it is possible to prevent the game balls from being scattered by providing a shutter that stops the supply of the game balls in any of the paths that supply the game balls to the front passage. The specific configuration will be described below.

(4) Fourth embodiment:
FIG. 17 shows the shutter 360 attached to the end of the main body frame passage 312a formed in the same manner as in the first embodiment as seen from an oblique direction. In the figure, the shutter 360 is formed in a substantially plate shape having substantially the same outer shape as the cross section of the main body frame passage 312a, and includes a pair of cylindrical shaft protrusions 361 and 361 protruding outward in the width direction. Recesses for bearing the shaft protrusions 361 and 361 are formed on the inner wall surface of the main body frame passage 312a, and the shutter 360 is pivotally supported by bearing the shaft protrusions 361 and 361 in the recesses. Has been. The shaft protrusions 361 and 361 constitute a horizontal rotation shaft, and the shutter 360 can rotate about the horizontal rotation shaft.

The shaft protrusions 361 and 361 are formed at a slightly lower position from the upper end of the shutter 360.
A spring 363 is attached to one of the shaft protrusions 361. The spring 363 is a coiled torsion spring, and a shaft protrusion 361 is inserted inside the coil portion. One end of the spring 363 is fixed to the shutter 360, and the other end is fixed to the inner wall surface of the main body frame passage 312a. As shown in the figure, when the end opening of the main body frame passage 312a is closed by the shutter 360, both ends of the spring 363 are orthogonal and have an original shape. Therefore, the biasing force can be accumulated in the spring 363 by widening or narrowing the angle at which both ends of the spring 363 intersect. That is, the shutter 360 is urged by the spring 363 so as to close the terminal opening of the main body frame passage 312a.

On the other hand, a substantially plate-like pressing portion 350 that protrudes to the back side is extended at the upper end portion of the second passage constituting portion 330B formed in the glass frame 313. When the glass frame 313 is rotated so that the game area is closed, the pressing portion 350 has shaft protrusions 361 and 361 in the shutter 360.
It is possible to interfere with a position higher than the position where the is formed. Therefore, when the glass frame 313 is rotated so that the game area is closed, the shaft protrusion 36 in the shutter 360 is changed.
A portion higher than the position where 1,361 is formed is pushed into the back side, and the shutter 360 can be rotated. By rotating the shutter 360, the main body frame passage 312a.
Therefore, the game ball flowing down through the main body frame passage 312a to the front side can be guided to the front of the first passage constituting portion 330A.

That is, when the glass frame 313 is rotated so that the gaming area is closed, the first passage constituting portion 330A and the second passage constituting portion 330B are combined to form a front passage, and a game is formed in the front passage. You can guide the sphere. On the other hand, the glass frame 3 so that the game area is opened.
When 13 is rotated, the interference between the shutter 360 and the pressing portion 350 is eliminated, so that the shutter 360 is rotated by the biasing force of the spring 363 to close the terminal opening of the main body frame passage 312a. That is, when the first passage component 330A and the second passage component 330B are separated, the game ball can be prevented from being supplied from the main body frame passage 312a. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the game ball from being released from the terminal opening of the main body frame passage 312a, even though the first passage configuration portion 330A and the second passage configuration portion 330B are not combined. It is possible to prevent the balls from being scattered.

(5) Fifth embodiment:
FIG. 18 shows a cross section of the front passage according to the fifth embodiment. In the figure,
The first passage constituting portion 430A is formed in the same manner as in the first embodiment. On the other hand, the 2nd channel | path structure part 430B is formed in planar shape with the transparent plate. Thus, it is also possible to form the 1st channel | path structure part 430A or the 2nd channel | path structure part 430B in planar shape. The structure can be simplified by forming one side in a planar shape. Moreover, since the front passage 430 can be formed on the back side of the glass frame 413 by forming the second passage constituting portion 430B in a planar shape, it is possible to make it difficult for the front passage 430 to be fraudulent.

(6) Sixth embodiment:
FIG. 19 shows a cross section of the front passage according to the sixth embodiment. In the figure,
The 2nd channel | path structure part 530B is formed so that it may protrude ahead rather than the glass frame 513 similarly to 1st embodiment. However, a pair of convex portions 530b and 530b are formed by projecting both ends of the second passage constituting portion 530B to the back side of the glass frame 513. On the other hand, the first passage component 530A is formed in a planar shape, and the first passage component 530A is the same.
The pair of convex portions 530b and 530b in the region waiting for the rotation of the pair of concave portions 530a
, 530a. The concave portions 530a and 530a are formed on the main body frame 512 with the convex portions 530b,
It is provided by forming a groove slightly larger than 530b.

Thus, when the glass frame 513 is rotated so that the game area 525 is closed from the front side as shown in FIG. 20, the convex portions 530b and 530 are formed in the concave portions 530a and 530a.
Each b can be fitted. Accordingly, the gap formed between the first passage component 530A and the second passage component 530B can be formed into a complicated shape, and foreign matter can enter the front passage 530 from the gap. Can be prevented. In addition, the first passage component 530A and the second passage component 530B can be accurately positioned, and the two can be reliably combined. The concave portions 530a and 530a and the convex portions 530b and 53
0b constitutes the fitting structure referred to in the present invention.

FIG. 21 shows the front passage 530 as viewed from the front. In the figure, the front passage 530
Is formed so as to protrude forward from the glass frame 513, so that the second passage component 5
30B is visible from the front side. The second passage component 530B is, for example, ABS.
, PET, PPE, and the like, and the back side of the second passage constituting portion 530B can be seen through. No decoration or the like is formed on the upper portion of the second passage component 530B, and the second passage component 5 is provided on the back side of the second passage component 530B.
The first passage constituting portion 530A facing 30B is visible. On the other hand, on the surface of the lower part of the second passage component 530B, a second decoration 530B1 is provided in which the background is colored black and a fish pattern is drawn at the center. Thereby, the second decoration 53
A part of the first passage constituting portion 530A located on the back side of 0B1 is not visually recognized.

On the other hand, the first passage configuration portion 530A that can be seen through on the back side of the second passage configuration portion 530B is:
The whole is formed in light blue, and the first decoration 530 (vertical line pattern) indicating the flow of the river is drawn like a broken line. In this way, the first decoration 530A1 and the second decoration 5
A pattern synthesized with 30B1 can be formed. In the example of FIG.
The fish pattern and the river pattern drawn on B1 can be three-dimensionally synthesized, and high preference can be realized. Furthermore, since a game ball flowing down between the first passage constituting portion 530A and the second passage constituting portion 530B can be visually recognized, the flow of the river can be dynamically expressed. That is, high preference can be realized by the game balls flowing down with the first decoration 530A1 and the second decoration 530B1.

By providing the second decoration 530B1 that does not have translucency, the inside of the front passage 530 located on the back side of the second decoration 530B1 can be hidden. Therefore, the front passage 53
It is possible to prevent fraud by hiding game balls and the like that circulate inside the zero. Of course, since the first passage component 530A and the second passage component 530B can be separated, the decoration formed by these can be kept clean. In addition, when decorating the front channel | path 530, you may use illuminations, such as LED. Furthermore, you may make it provide the decorative cover which hides the front channel | path 530 in the front side rather than the front channel | path 530. FIG. In this way, decoration can be provided on the front side of the front passage 530 and the presence of the front passage 530 can be prevented from being known. Therefore, fraud with respect to the front passage 530 can be prevented.
