本発明によれば、カバー部材が変形しづらい遊技機を提供できる。   According to the present invention, it is possible to provide a gaming machine in which the cover member is not easily deformed.

以下に本発明の実施の形態をパチンコ機を例示して説明する。なお、図1は遊技板に装飾部品を取り付ける工程を示す斜視図、図2は装飾部品の斜視図、図3は装飾部品の分解斜視図、図4は図2のX−X矢示部の一部を示す使用状態の断面図、図5は図2のY−Y矢示部を示す使用状態の断面図、図6はパチンコ機の一部拡大正面図である。   Embodiments of the present invention will be described below by taking a pachinko machine as an example. 1 is a perspective view showing a process of attaching a decorative part to the game board, FIG. 2 is a perspective view of the decorative part, FIG. 3 is an exploded perspective view of the decorative part, and FIG. 4 is an XX arrow portion of FIG. FIG. 5 is a cross-sectional view of the used state showing a part, FIG. 5 is a cross-sectional view of the used state showing the YY arrow portion of FIG. 2, and FIG. 6 is a partially enlarged front view of the pachinko machine.

図6のようにパチンコ機Pの正面には前枠1があり、その前枠1に遊技板2が取り付けられている。遊技板2にはガイドレール3で囲った円形の遊技領域2pが形成されていて、その遊技領域2pの中に障害釘4や入賞装置5などが設けられている。この遊技板2が本実施形態における被装飾部材であり、図1及び図4,図5に示したように遊技領域2pの外側上部に後述する装飾部品6用の取付孔7が複数個穿設されている。   As shown in FIG. 6, a front frame 1 is provided in front of the pachinko machine P, and a game board 2 is attached to the front frame 1. A circular game area 2p surrounded by a guide rail 3 is formed on the game board 2, and an obstacle nail 4, a winning device 5 and the like are provided in the game area 2p. This game board 2 is a member to be decorated in the present embodiment, and a plurality of mounting holes 7 for decorative parts 6 to be described later are formed in the upper part outside the game area 2p as shown in FIGS. Has been.

前記装飾部品6は合成樹脂製であって、図3に示したように部品主体61と、その部品主体61上に重なる色違いのカバー部材62との結合構造になっている。部品主体61とカバー部材62の装飾面Zは曲面を組み合わせた凸凹の立体構造になっており、その曲面の一部を迫り出させて遊技板面と平行な押圧スポット8が形成してある。押圧スポット8は後述するプレス機の押圧ピン12と同程度かそれより若干大きい広さに形成され、装飾部品6のコーナー部分と端部及び中間部分にバランス良く配置されている。この押圧スポット8の裏側に取付用ボス9が配設されている。取付用ボス9は、断面十字状で軸部の中間から先端に向かって窄まる釘形態であって、前記遊技板2の取付孔7にきつく嵌合する太さに設定してある。   The decorative part 6 is made of synthetic resin, and has a structure in which a component main body 61 and a cover member 62 of a different color that overlaps the component main body 61 are connected as shown in FIG. The decorative surface Z of the component main body 61 and the cover member 62 has an uneven three-dimensional structure in which curved surfaces are combined, and a pressing spot 8 parallel to the game board surface is formed by protruding a part of the curved surface. The pressing spot 8 is formed to have the same size as or slightly larger than the pressing pin 12 of the press machine described later, and is arranged in a balanced manner at the corner portion, the end portion, and the intermediate portion of the decorative part 6. A mounting boss 9 is disposed on the back side of the pressing spot 8. The mounting boss 9 has a cross-like cross-sectional shape and has a nail shape that narrows from the middle of the shaft portion toward the tip, and is set to a thickness that fits tightly into the mounting hole 7 of the game board 2.

前記取付用ボス9は部品主体61と一体である。一方、カバー部材62に対応して取付用ボス9の前面に部品主体61からジョイントピン90を突設し、このジョイントピン90をカバー部材62の押圧スポット8の下に当て、もって押圧スポット8からジョイントピン90を介して取付用ボス9に力が伝わるようにしてある。なお、前記ジョイントピン90はカバー部材62の裏側に一体に突設してもよい。   The mounting boss 9 is integral with the component main body 61. On the other hand, a joint pin 90 is projected from the component main body 61 on the front surface of the mounting boss 9 corresponding to the cover member 62, and the joint pin 90 is applied under the pressing spot 8 of the cover member 62. A force is transmitted to the mounting boss 9 via the joint pin 90. The joint pin 90 may be integrally projected on the back side of the cover member 62.

このように、部品主体61に取付用ボス9を突設するとともにカバー部材62に押圧スポット8を形成し、部品主体61またはカバー部材62にジョイントピン90を突設して部品主体61の取付用ボス9とカバー部材62の押圧スポット8を連結するようにすれば、カバー部材62の押圧スポット8を押圧してもカバー部材62が割れるおそれがない。従って、部品主体61の上にカバー部材62を重ねた組合せ構造の装飾部品6であっても、カバー部材62を変形させることなく全体に均等に力を加えることができる。   In this way, the mounting boss 9 protrudes from the component main body 61, the pressing spot 8 is formed on the cover member 62, and the joint pin 90 protrudes from the component main body 61 or the cover member 62 to mount the component main body 61. If the boss 9 and the pressing spot 8 of the cover member 62 are connected, there is no possibility that the cover member 62 will break even if the pressing spot 8 of the cover member 62 is pressed. Therefore, even if the decorative component 6 has a combined structure in which the cover member 62 is stacked on the component main body 61, it is possible to apply force evenly to the whole without deforming the cover member 62.

なお、装飾部品6には図3,図4に示したように基板10上にランプ11が取り付けられている。また、部品主体61の裏側には、遊技板2側からランプ(図示せず)が差し込まれる。   The decorative part 6 has a lamp 11 mounted on a substrate 10 as shown in FIGS. Further, a lamp (not shown) is inserted into the back side of the component main body 61 from the game board 2 side.

次ぎに、前記装飾部品6を遊技板2に取り付ける方法について説明する。先ず、図1に示したように水平に寝かせた遊技板2に装飾部品6を載せる。このとき装飾部品6の取付用ボス9と遊技板2の取付孔7の位置を合わせる。この状態でプレス機の押圧ピン12を下降させると、全ての押圧ピン12が装飾部品6の押圧スポット8に当接する。そして、押圧ピン12を押し下げると、押圧スポット8から力が伝わって、取付用ボス9が遊技板2の取付孔7にきつく差し込まれて嵌まり合う。この状態で装飾部品6は遊技板2から外れない。   Next, a method for attaching the decorative component 6 to the game board 2 will be described. First, as shown in FIG. 1, the decorative component 6 is placed on the game board 2 laid horizontally. At this time, the mounting boss 9 of the decorative part 6 and the mounting hole 7 of the game board 2 are aligned. When the pressing pins 12 of the press are lowered in this state, all the pressing pins 12 come into contact with the pressing spots 8 of the decorative part 6. When the pressing pin 12 is pushed down, force is transmitted from the pressing spot 8, and the mounting boss 9 is tightly inserted into the mounting hole 7 of the game board 2 and is fitted. In this state, the decorative component 6 cannot be removed from the game board 2.

以上本発明を実施の形態について説明したが、もちろん本発明は上記実施形態に限定されるものではない。例えば、実施形態では被装飾部材として遊技板2を例示したが、図6においてパチンコ機の前枠1を被装飾部材とし、上部の装飾ランプカバー13や錠カバー14などを装飾部品とすることもできる。また、取付用ボス9は装飾部品6と一体成形した構造である必要はなく、取付用ボスを金属製にして装飾部品6の成型時にインサートするようにしてもよい。また、装飾面Zは実施形態のように曲面で立体的に構成する場合に限るものではなく、斜面を使用したり、或いは曲面と斜面とを適宜組み合わせて構成するようにしてもよい。また、言うまでもなく遊技機はパチンコ機に限定されるものではない。   The embodiments of the present invention have been described above, but the present invention is of course not limited to the above embodiments. For example, in the embodiment, the game board 2 is exemplified as the decorated member. However, in FIG. 6, the front frame 1 of the pachinko machine is used as the decorated member, and the upper decorative lamp cover 13 and the lock cover 14 may be used as decorative parts. it can. The mounting boss 9 does not have to be integrally formed with the decorative part 6, and the mounting boss may be made of metal and inserted when the decorative part 6 is molded. Further, the decorative surface Z is not limited to a three-dimensional configuration with a curved surface as in the embodiment, and a slope may be used, or a curved surface and a slope may be appropriately combined. Needless to say, gaming machines are not limited to pachinko machines.
