The diameter of the second mounting portion 22 is slightly larger than the diameter of the second mounting hole 42 of the game board 4. As a result, the second attachment portion 22 is inserted into the insertion hole 19 in the projection 17 of the first component member 11 and is fixed to the second attachment hole 42 of the game board 4 by interference fit.

  The third component member 13 includes a third attachment portion 26 attached to the third attachment hole 43 of the game board 4. The 3rd attachment part 26 is a projection part which protrudes back from the back side of the 3rd structural member 13, as shown in FIG. 3, FIG. The third attachment portion 26 is configured in a columnar shape (or a tapered shape). The diameter of the third attachment portion 26 is smaller than the diameter of the insertion hole 23 formed in the protrusion 21 of the second component member 12. Further, the diameter of the third mounting portion 26 is slightly larger than the diameter of the third mounting hole 43 of the game board 4. Thereby, the third attachment portion 26 is inserted into the insertion hole 23 in the projection portion 21 of the second component member 12 and is fixed to the third attachment hole 43 of the game board 4 by interference fit.

  The decorative frame 10 is attached to the game board 4 by the following method.

  First, the first component member 11 is attached to the game board 4. Specifically, the first mounting portion 18 of the first component member 11 is fitted into the first mounting hole 41 of the game board. Further, the first mounting portion 18 is thermally welded to the game board 4 from the back side. Thereby, the 1st component member 11 is fixed to the game board 4 so that it cannot be removed. At this time, the first component member 11 is positioned so that the insertion hole 19 of the protrusion 17 coincides with the second mounting hole 42 of the game board 4.

  Next, the second component member 12 is attached to the game board 4. Specifically, the second mounting portion 22 of the second component member 12 is inserted into the insertion hole 19 formed in the projection portion 17 of the first component member 11 and the second mounting hole 42 of the game board 4. It is inserted in. Thereby, the second component member 12 is fixed to the game board 4. At this time, a part of the second component member 12 is overlaid on the protrusion 17 of the first component member 11. In this state, the second component member 12 is positioned so that the insertion hole 23 of the protrusion 21 coincides with the third mounting hole 43 of the game board 4.

  Finally, the third component member 13 is attached to the game board 4. Specifically, the third attachment portion 26 of the third component member 13 is inserted into the insertion hole 23 formed in the projection portion 21 of the second component member 12 and the third attachment hole 43 of the game board 4. It is inserted in. Thereby, the third component member 13 is fixed to the game board 4. At this time, a part of the third component member 13 is overlapped with the protruding portion 21 of the second component member 12.

  Thus, the attachment of the decorative frame 10 to the game board 4 is completed.

  As described above, in the state in which the game board 4 is attached to the ball game machine, the decorative frame 10 has a part of two constituent members adjacent to each other superimposed on the game board 4 in the front-rear direction. It becomes a state. That is, in the overlapping relationship between the adjacent first component member 11 and the second component member 12, a part of the second component member 12 is overlapped with the protruding portion 17 that is a part of the first component member 11. At this time, a part of the second component member 12 is positioned on the front side of a part of the first component member 11 in the overlapping relationship.

  Further, in the overlapping relationship between the adjacent second component member 12 and the third component member 13, a part of the third component member 13 is overlapped with the protrusion 21 that is a part of the second component member 12. . At this time, a part of the third component 13 is positioned in front of a part of the second component 12 in the overlapping relationship.

  Therefore, in the context of the overlapping of the first component member 11, the second component member 12, and the third component member 13, the first component member 11 on which the certificate is to be provided is arranged on the rearmost game board 4 side. In this state, it is attached to the game board 4. Moreover, the 3rd structural member 13 will be located in the foremost side. The second component member 12 is located on the front side of the first component member 11 and on the rear side of the third component member 13.

  Further, in the gaming board 4 having the above-described configuration, one of the two constituent members that constitute the decorative frame 10 and are adjacent to each other is positioned on the front side in the front-to-back relationship of the superimposition. The other constituent member located on the rear side is provided with an insertion hole through which the attachment portion is to be inserted in the protruding portion that protrudes outward from the peripheral edge portion. Specifically, in the anteroposterior relationship between the first component member 11 and the second component member 12 adjacent to each other, the second component member 12 located on the front side faces the game board 4 from the back side. A protruding second attachment portion 22 is provided. Furthermore, the 1st structural member 11 located in the back is provided with the insertion hole 19 by which the 2nd attaching part 22 should be penetrated in the projection part 17 which protrudes toward the outer side (for example, upper direction) from the peripheral part.

  Similarly, in the front-rear relationship of the overlapping of the second component member 12 and the third component member 13 that are adjacent to each other, the third component member 13 located on the front side protrudes toward the game board 4 from the back surface side. 3 attachment portions 26 are provided. Furthermore, the 2nd structural member 12 located in the back is provided with the insertion hole 23 by which the 3rd attaching part 26 is penetrated in the projection part 21 which protrudes toward the outer side (for example, downward) from the peripheral part.

  The “back surface” of each component member 11 to 13 is a rear surface of each component member 11 to 13 and refers to a surface facing the game board 4.

  Further, the game board 4 is provided with mounting holes 42 and 43 at positions corresponding to the insertion holes 19 and 23 formed in the constituent members 11 and 12, respectively. Further, each of the structural members 12 and 13 except the first structural member 11 exerts a retaining effect by locking the mounting portions 22 and 26 in the mounting holes 42 and 43. This locking structure is a structure that can be removed without destroying the constituent members 12 and 13. Thereby, the reusability of the 2nd component member 12 and the 3rd component member 13 can be improved.

  On the other hand, the first component 11 to be provided with the certificate is provided with a first attachment portion 18 that protrudes from the back side toward the game board adjacent to the certificate paste portion 15 that is an area where the certificate is provided. The game board 4 is provided with a first attachment hole 41 at a position corresponding to the first attachment portion 18. The first component member 11 exerts a retaining effect by locking the first mounting portion 18 to the first mounting hole 41. This locking structure is configured so that the first mounting portion 18 is first welded by thermal welding. Since it is fixed to the hole 41, it cannot be removed unless the first component member 11 is destroyed. Thereby, it is restricted that the first constituent member 11 is removed from the game board 4 and the certificate is reused.

  According to the ball and ball game machine according to the present invention described above, when the decorative frame 10 is attached to the game board 4, a part of the second component member 12 is overlapped with the protrusion 17 of the first component member 11, By providing a part of the third component member 13 so as to overlap the protrusion 21 of the second component member 12, it becomes difficult to remove the certificate sticking portion 15 provided on the first component member 11 from the game board 4. That is, in order to remove the first component member 11, the second component member 12 must be removed, and in order to remove the second component member 12, the third component member 13 must be removed. Therefore, in the ball game machine, it takes time to remove the first component member 11 from the game board 4.

  As a result, when the first component member 11 provided with the certificate pasting portion 15 for pasting the certificate stamp is removed and diverted, the removal takes a very long time. Therefore, it is possible to deter the act of diverting the certificate stamp and trying to misuse it.

  Furthermore, by dividing the decorative frame 10 into three parts, that is, a first component member 11, a second component member 12, and a third component member 13, for example, the second component member 12 and the second component member 12 that are not provided with the stamp sticking portion. The three component members 13 can be used as other parts for other models of the ball game machine. This makes it possible to improve the reusability of the ball game machine.

  Furthermore, since the second component member 12 can simultaneously perform a partial overlap with the first component member 11 and the attachment of the second attachment portion 22 to the second attachment hole 42, the attachment operation is performed. It can be done efficiently. Similarly, with respect to the third component member 13, part of the second component member 12 can be overlapped and the third attachment portion 26 can be attached to the third attachment hole 43 at the same time. Can be performed efficiently.

  The ball game machine according to the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and various changes and modifications are possible.

  For example, although the example in which the decorative frame 10 is divided into three members of the first component member 11, the second component member 12, and the third component member 13 is shown, the present invention is not limited to this, and two or four You may divide and comprise above.

  In the above-described embodiment, the second mounting portion 22 of the game board 4, the third mounting portion 22 of the second structural member 11 and the third mounting portion 26 of the third structural member 13 are fitted by press fit. Although an example in which it is press-fitted into the attachment hole 43 and fixed is shown, it is not limited to this. For example, after the second mounting portion 22 and the third mounting portion 26 are press-fitted into the second mounting hole 42 and the third mounting hole 43, the second mounting portion 22 and the third mounting screw 3 are screwed from the back side of the game board 4. The attachment portion 26 may be fixed to the game board 4. In this case, the second component member 12 and the third component member 13 can be removed from the game board 4 by removing the screws.

  In the above embodiment, the configuration in which the first mounting portion 18 of the first component member 11 is fixed to the game board 4 by heat welding is exemplified. However, for example, the first mounting portion 18 is fitted to the first mounting portion 18 by an interference fit. You may fix to the hole 41. Further, the first mounting portion 18 may be press-fitted into the first mounting hole 41 and fixed by screwing from the back side of the game board 4.

  In the above embodiment, an example in which the insertion hole 19 is formed in the protrusion 17 of the first component member 11 and the insertion hole 23 is formed in the protrusion 21 of the second component member 12 is shown, but the present invention is not limited to this. Instead of forming the protrusion 17 on the first component member 11, the insertion hole 19 may be formed at a predetermined position of the first component member 11, and the second component member 12 may be overlapped with the first component member 11. Instead of forming the protrusion 21 on the second component 12, the insertion hole 23 may be formed at a predetermined position of the second component 12, and the third component 13 may be overlapped with the second component 12.
