  Pachinko is one of popular entertainment. As is well known, pachinko is a game that has a predetermined winning opening and a game board on which a large number of nails are struck, flips an iron ball with a spring, and inserts the iron ball into the winning opening.

  As described above, the pachinko has a game board on which a large number of nails are struck, so that an iron ball may be caught between nails during the game, or the iron ball may be in a bridged state and the winning hole may be clogged. In addition, iron balls may become clogged at the launch port.

  In such a case, the front surface of the pachinko machine is opened to remove the iron ball to eliminate clogging and the like. That is, as shown in FIGS. 9 and 10, the pachinko device 100 is configured by the main body 1 and the transparent plate holding frame 2, and the transparent plate holding frame 2 is connected to the main body 1 by the upper and lower hinges 3 a and 3 b. And can be opened and closed.

  If it demonstrates in detail, the main-body part 1 will be comprised by the mechanism board (mechanism part) 5 and the outer frame 6 like FIG. The mechanism plate 5 is a member having a game board 8 provided with a nail (not shown) and a winning opening 7 on the front side, and a control device 10 and the like provided on the back side. The outer frame 6 is a frame that surrounds the mechanism plate 5. The outer frame 6 is a simple rectangular frame, and is attached to the island constituting wall of the pachinko hall when the pachinko apparatus 100 is installed in the pachinko hall.

  The transparent plate holding frame 2 is provided with a large window 31 into which a glass plate 30 is fitted, an upper plate 32, a handle 33, and the like. In addition, an electric decoration 35 and speakers 36 and 37 are provided on the upper side of the transparent plate holding frame 2. An electrical decoration 38 and a speaker 40 are also provided on the lower side of the transparent plate holding frame 2.

Since the hinges 3a and 3b are attached upside down as shown in FIGS. 9 and 10 and the constituent members are the same, the structure of the upper hinge 3a will be described as a representative.
As shown in FIG. 10, the hinge 3 a includes an upper piece 11 attached to the mechanism plate 5, an intermediate piece 12 attached to the outer frame 6, and a lower member 14 attached to the transparent plate holding frame 2. Yes.

The upper piece 11 is at the upper end on the left side of the mechanism plate 5, is raised slightly upward from the main body portion of the mechanism plate 5, and protrudes to the front side. The tip side is offset to the left side. That is, as shown in FIG. 11, the upper piece 11 has a rising portion 15 raised in the vertical direction, a protruding portion 16 extending to the front surface side, and an offset portion 17 extending in the left horizontal direction.
A pin 18 is suspended downward from the offset portion 17.

The intermediate piece 12 is on the left side of the outer frame 6, is slightly lowered from the upper end of the outer frame 6, and protrudes to the front side. That is, as shown in FIG. 11, the intermediate piece 12 has a falling portion 20 that is vertically lowered and a protruding portion 21 that extends on the front side.
The protrusion 21 is provided with a notch-shaped hole 22.

  The lower member 14 has a block shape and protrudes to the front side on the left side of the transparent plate holding frame 2. The protrusion 25 is provided with a hole 26.

The upper piece 11, the intermediate piece 12, and the lower member 14 described above are stacked in this order, and the pins 18 provided on the upper piece 11 are inserted into the holes 22 and 26 provided on the intermediate piece 12 and the lower member 14. Yes.
The same applies to the lower hinge 3b.
Therefore, in the pachinko apparatus 100, the transparent plate holding frame 2 can swing around the upper and lower pins 18.
Since the upper piece 11 can also swing around the pin 18, the mechanism plate 5 can also swing around the upper and lower pins 18.

In the pachinko machine 100, a lock 27 for opening and closing the transparent plate holding frame 2 is provided. The lock 27 includes a cylinder portion 28 that rotates by inserting a key R, a transparent plate side lock mechanism portion 29, and a mechanism plate side lock mechanism portion 34 (FIG. 12).
The cylinder portion 28 is a known cylinder lock and has a key hole 39.
The transparent plate side lock mechanism 29 is provided on the back surface side of the transparent plate holding frame 2 and has a transparent plate side slider (not shown). The transparent plate side lock mechanism portion 29 has a key hole 39 provided on the front surface of the transparent plate holding frame 2. By inserting the key R and rotating the cylinder portion 28, the transparent plate side slider can be slid up and down.
That is, when the key R is rotated to the left, the transparent plate side locking mechanism 29 slides upward, and when the key R is rotated to the right, the transparent plate side locking mechanism 29 slides. Slides down.

  The mechanism plate side locking mechanism 34 is arranged on the mechanism plate 5 and has a mechanism plate side slider (not shown) on the front side (transparent plate side locking mechanism 29 side). The mechanism plate side slider (not shown) is engaged with the transparent plate side slider, and when the transparent plate side slider moves upward, the mechanism plate side slider also moves upward. When the transparent plate side slider moves downward, the mechanism plate side slider also moves downward.

In addition, the mechanism plate side locking mechanism portion 34 has a transparent plate engagement hook 43 on the front side of the mechanism plate 5 (transparent plate side locking mechanism portion 29 side). The transparent plate engaging hook 43 is normally engaged with a part of the transparent plate holding frame 2 as shown in FIG.
On the other hand, the mechanism plate side locking mechanism portion 34 has an outer frame engaging hook 45 on the back side of the mechanism plate 5. The outer frame engaging hook 45 is always engaged with a part 47 of the outer frame 6 as shown in FIG.
When the mechanism plate side slider (not shown) slides upward, the transparent plate engaging hook 43 moves upward in conjunction with each other, and the engagement of the transparent plate engaging hook 43 is released.
When the mechanism plate-side slider (not shown) slides downward, the outer frame engaging hook 45 is moved downward in conjunction with the outer frame engaging hook 45 and a part 47 of the outer frame 6. The engagement is released.
As described above, since the mechanism plate side slider moves up and down in conjunction with the rotation of the cylinder portion 28, the transparent plate engagement hook 43 and the outer frame engagement hook 45 have the key R and the cylinder portion 28. Are moved up and down in conjunction with the rotation, and the respective engagements are individually released.

The pachinko apparatus 100 described above is used in a state where the transparent plate holding frame 2 is attached to the main body 1 as shown in FIG.
More specifically, the mechanism plate 5 is mounted in the outer frame 6 to form the main body 1, and the transparent plate holding frame 2 is mounted on the front surface of the main body 1 for use.
In the state where the transparent plate holding frame 2 is attached to the main body 1 as shown in FIG. 9, the mechanism plate side slider (not shown) is in the intermediate position, and the transparent plate engaging hook 43 is the transparent plate holding frame. The outer frame engaging hook 45 is engaged with a portion 47 of the outer frame 6 to integrate the three members.

On the other hand, when the key R is inserted into the key hole 39 of the cylinder portion 28 and rotated to the left side to raise the anti-transparent plate engagement hook 43, the engagement by the anti-transparent plate engagement hook 43 is released, and FIG. As described above, the engagement relationship between the transparent plate holding frame 2 and the main body 1 is eliminated.
Therefore, when a situation such as an iron ball clogging the nail occurs, the key R is rotated to the left to release the engagement by the transparent plate engaging hook 43, and the transparent plate holding frame 2 is moved to the left end hinges 3a and 3b. , The transparent plate holding frame 2 is opened, the game board 8 is exposed, and the iron balls are removed with fingers to eliminate clogging.

  In addition, when trouble occurs on the control device 10 side, the ball supply device side of the pachinko hall, etc., the key R is rotated to the right to release the engagement by the outer frame engagement hook 45 and hold the transparent plate The frame 2 and the mechanism plate 5 are rotated around the hinges 3a and 3b on the left end side, and the transparent plate holding frame 2 is maintained with the integrity of the transparent plate holding frame 2 and the mechanism plate 5 maintained as shown in FIG. 2 and the mechanism plate 5 can be opened with respect to the outer frame 6.

Thus, the pachinko device of the prior art can open the transparent plate holding frame 2 to the left with the left hinges 3a and 3b as the center when the ball is jammed.
However, as is well known, in pachinko halls, pachinko machines are arranged side by side without any gaps. And it is not uncommon that the pachinko apparatus on the right side or the pachinko apparatus on the left side is in use centering on the pachinko apparatus in which the clogging has occurred. By the way, in the conventional pachinko machine 100, the transparent plate holding frame 2 opens only to the left side. Therefore, in order to eliminate the clogging of the pachinko machine 100 in which the clogging has occurred, as shown in FIG. 15, an employee of the pachinko hall opens the transparent plate holding frame 2 on the left side to eliminate the clogging. Therefore, the player using the right pachinko machine 100 where the transparent plate holding frame 2 is opened is inconvenienced.

  In addition, the pachinko machine 100 needs to be periodically adjusted because a not-shown nail provided on the game board 8 in a predetermined direction is gradually changed due to a ball collision caused by the game. . Therefore, it is conceivable to adjust the nail by opening the transparent plate holding frame 2 to the left side. However, since the nail adjustment is performed by hitting the nail with a hammer or the like, the transparent plate holding frame 2 becomes an obstacle at the hinge portion, and the working efficiency is lowered. Therefore, the nail adjustment is usually performed after the glass plate 30 of the transparent plate holding frame 2 is removed in advance from the viewpoint of work efficiency. As a result, the work efficiency of the nail adjustment does not decrease, but the labor for detaching the glass plate 30 increases, which is not good as the work efficiency of the entire maintenance. Furthermore, there was concern that the glass plate 30 would break due to the desorption of the glass plate 30.

As one of measures for solving this problem, there is a pachinko apparatus 100 disclosed in Patent Document 1.
In the pachinko machine disclosed in Patent Document 1, the transparent plate holding frame can be opened on both the right side and the left side.

JP-A-11-137806

The invention disclosed in Patent Document 1 can open the transparent plate holding frame in either the left or right direction as described above.
However, recently, it is difficult to employ the structure of Patent Document 1 for a pachinko apparatus having a structure that is generally commercially available.
That is, recent pachinko machines are decorated with sound effects and light as an effect of tickling the play. And a speaker and an electrical decoration device are attached to the transparent plate holding frame in order to heighten a sense of reality.
For example, in the pachinko apparatus 100 described above, electrical decorations 35 and 38 and speakers 36, 37 and 40 are provided on the upper and lower sides of the transparent plate holding frame 2.
Control of the electric decorations 35 and 38 and the speakers 36, 37 and 40 is controlled by the control device 10 of the mechanism plate 5. In addition, power must be supplied to the electric decorations 35 and 38 and the speakers 36, 37, and 40.
Therefore, a large number of signal lines and power lines need to be wired between the mechanism plate 5 of the main body 1 and the transparent plate holding frame 2.

However, when the transparent plate holding frame 2 can be opened in either the left or right direction by the measures disclosed in Patent Document 1, the mechanism plate 5 of the main body 1 and the transparent plate holding frame 2 are arranged between them. Wiring connection becomes difficult.
For example, in the pachinko apparatus 100 shown in FIG. 9, the transparent plate holding frame 2 and the mechanism plate 5 are wired between the left sides 41 of each other. That is, since the transparent plate holding frame 2 swings around the left side 41, the distance between the left side of the transparent plate holding frame 2 and the left side of the mechanism plate 5 is constant regardless of the swing angle of the transparent plate holding frame 2. It is. Therefore, in the pachinko apparatus 100 shown in FIG. 9, the transition wiring does not hinder the opening and closing of the transparent plate holding frame 2.

  However, as disclosed in Patent Document 1, when the transparent plate holding frame 2 can be opened from the right side or the left side, the left side or the right side of the transparent plate holding frame 2 depending on the opening / closing angle of the transparent plate holding frame 2 And the distance of the left side or right side of the mechanism board 5 will change. Therefore, when opening in either one direction, the crossover wiring becomes an obstacle.

  Therefore, an object of the present invention is to develop a bullet ball game machine in which the transparent plate holding frame on the front side can be opened to both the left and right sides and wiring to the electrical components of the transparent plate holding frame is easy.

In addition, it has a first lock that can be unlocked and unlocked from the outside and that connects and disengages the front frame and the intermediate frame. Therefore, when the first lock is brought into the locked state, the front frame and the intermediate frame are integrated. On the other hand, the ball game machine of the present invention is provided with a second lock that can be locked and unlocked from the outside and that couples and detaches the intermediate frame and the main body. When the second lock is in the unlocked state, the connection between the intermediate frame and the main body is released.

  Further, one end side of the intermediate frame and the main body are coupled by the first hinge. Therefore, as described above, when the first lock is brought into the locked state and the second lock is brought into the unlocked state, the front frame and the intermediate frame are integrated and the engagement between the intermediate frame and the main body is released. The front frame and the intermediate frame can swing together via the first hinge. Therefore, in the ball game machine of the present invention, the transparent plate holding frame is opened and closed via the first hinge provided at one end side by setting the first lock to the locked state and the second lock to the unlocked state. be able to.

Conversely, when the first lock is in the unlocked state, the front frame and the intermediate frame are separable. On the other hand, when the second lock is brought into the locked state, the intermediate frame and the main body are coupled and the intermediate frame is fixed to the main body. Therefore, the front frame of the transparent plate holding frame can be opened and closed with respect to the main body part side (more precisely, a combination of the main body part and the intermediate frame).
In addition, since the first hinge is provided on one end side of the intermediate frame and the second hinge is provided on the other end side of the intermediate frame, the transparent plate holding frame can be opened and closed in both the left and right directions. Can do.
Furthermore, since the mechanism portion and the front frame are always connected by the intermediate frame, the mechanism portion and the front frame can be connected by wiring via the intermediate frame.
Further, according to the present invention, it is not necessary to remove, for example, a glass plate or the like that interferes with work when adjusting the nail, so that work efficiency such as maintenance does not decrease.

Further, in the ball game machine of the present invention, wiring is made to the front frame via the intermediate frame, so that the wiring does not get in the way when opening and closing.

According to a second aspect of the present invention, the main body portion has a mechanism portion including a game board and an outer frame surrounding the mechanism portion, and the mechanism portion can be opened and closed with respect to the outer frame. 2. The ball game machine according to claim 1 , wherein the mechanism portion can be coupled to and detached from the outer frame.

On the other hand, the key R is inserted into the key hole 39 of the cylinder portion 28 of the second lock 57 from the hole (baka hole) 61 provided on the front surface of the front frame 53, and the key R is rotated to the left side to engage the transparent plate. When the joint hook 43 is raised, the engagement by the transparent plate engagement hook 43 is released, and the engagement relationship between the transparent plate holding frame 51 (the combined body of the front frame 53 and the intermediate frame 52) 51 and the main body 1 is eliminated. Is done. At this time, the engagement of the second lock 57 is released, but the engagement of the first lock 56 is maintained, so that the front frame 53 and the intermediate frame 52 are maintained in an integrated state. .
When the key R inserted into the key hole 39 of the second lock 57 is rotated to the left to release the engagement with the transparent plate engagement hook 43, the transparent plate holding frame 51 is moved to the first hinges 68a and 68b on the left end side. The transparent plate holding frame (a combined body of the front frame 53 and the intermediate frame 52) 51 can be opened by rotating to the center. That is, the transparent plate holding frame 2 can be opened to the left as shown in FIG.

  Here, as described above, since the wiring is routed around the transparent plate holding frame 51 (the combined body of the front frame 53 and the intermediate frame 52), the transparent plate holding frame 51 is connected to the first hinges 68a and 68b on the left end side. The distance of the crossing portion does not change even if it swings around the center. Therefore, the wiring is not cut off or disturbed.

Further, when the key R is inserted into the key hole 71 of the first lock 56 exposed on the left side of the front frame 53 and the key R is rotated in a predetermined direction, the engaging element 62 is rotated and the engaging portion 63 of the intermediate frame 52 is rotated. Is disengaged.
On the other hand, the second lock 57 described above maintains the engagement, and the transparent plate engagement hook 43 is engaged with the intermediate frame 52. Therefore, the intermediate frame 52 includes the first hinges 68a and 68b, The left and right sides are fixed to the main body 1 side by the transparent plate engaging hooks 43 of the two tablets 57. The second lock 57 does not connect the front frame 53 and the intermediate frame 52.
Therefore, when the first lock 56 is unlocked and the transparent plate holding frame 51 is opened, only the front frame 53 swings in the right opening direction around the second hinges 55a and 55b. As a result, only the front frame 53 is opened as shown in FIG. 7, and the intermediate frame 52 remains on the main body 1 side.
However, since the intermediate frame 52 is a simple frame and has a large opening 64 in the intermediate portion, the game board 8 is exposed by opening the front frame 53. Therefore, the pachinko machine 50 of the present invention can open the front side to the left or right.

  At this time, since the wiring is routed to the front frame 53 via the second hinge 55b side in the intermediate frame 52 as described above, the front frame 53 is centered on the second hinges 55a and 55b on the right end side. Even if it rotates, the distance of the crossing part does not change. Therefore, the wiring is not cut off or disturbed.

  In addition, when trouble occurs on the control device 10 side, the ball supply device side of the pachinko hall, etc., the key R inserted in the second lock 57 is rotated to the right and engaged by the outer frame engagement hook 45. And the transparent plate holding frame 51 and the mechanism plate 5 are rotated about the left end hinges 68a and 68b, and the integrity of the transparent plate holding frame 51 and the mechanism plate 5 is maintained as shown in FIG. In this state, the transparent plate holding frame 51 and the mechanism plate 5 can be opened with respect to the outer frame 6.

  In the embodiment described above, the front frame 53 and the intermediate frame 52 swing integrally when the front frame 53 and the like are opened to the left side with respect to the main body 1 and the like, and the front frame 53 and the like are opened when the front frame 53 and the like are opened to the right side. Although the frame 53 swings independently, it may of course be reversed.

  In the embodiment described above, the wiring is arranged on the lower side 70 of the intermediate frame 52, but may be arranged on the upper side or other parts.
