It has become.

(Effects of Example)
Next, the operation of the outer frame 11 of the pachinko machine 10 according to the embodiment configured as described above will be described.

  In the outer frame 11 of the embodiment, since each of the first member 34 and the pair of connecting members 31 and 32 constituting the lower frame portion 26 is made of metal, the rigidity of the lower frame portion 26 is improved, and the Deformation such as warping and bending of the lower frame portion 26 can be suppressed. Therefore, stability in a posture in which the outer frame 11 is erected so that the bottom surface of the lower frame portion 26 configured so that the bottom surfaces of the first member 34 and the pair of connecting members 31 and 32 are located on the same plane is grounded to the floor surface. Can improve. That is, the self-supporting stability when the outer frame 11 is placed on the floor in the manufacturing stage, transport stage, installation stage, etc. of the pachinko machine 10 is improved.

  The outer frame 11 of the embodiment is a frame constituent member in which the center of gravity of the lower frame portion 26 is attached to the outer frame 11 in a posture in which the bottom surface of the lower frame portion 26 is in contact with the floor surface. Since the center of gravity is configured to be located on the rear side opposite to the outer frame front side, the outer frame 11 acts to tilt forward with the front end of the lower frame portion 26 as a fulcrum by the weight of the frame constituent member. Force can be suppressed. In addition, the configuration in which the center of gravity of the lower frame portion 26 is biased to the rear side can be achieved simply by providing the connecting members (second members) 31 and 32 constituting the lower frame portion 26 with the component portions 36c and 36c biased to the rear side. Because there is, the configuration is simple. Furthermore, in the embodiment, since the center of gravity of the lower frame portion 26 is also biased to the rear side by the positioning wall 34c provided on the first member 34 constituting the lower frame portion 26, the outer frame 11 in the standing posture is the frame. The effect which suppresses tilting to the front side by a structural member is high, and stability improves. In the posture in which the outer frame 11 is erected, the bottom surface of the support portion 34b that is biased to the front side from the center in the front-rear direction of the first member 34 of the lower frame portion 26 is grounded to the floor surface. That is, when the force that tilts the outer frame 11 by the frame constituent member is applied (the front side in the embodiment), the substantially entire length in the left-right direction of the lower frame portion 26 is in contact with the floor surface, so that the force to tilt the outer frame 11 is increased.

Therefore, the stability when the outer frame 11 is in the standing position with the frame constituent member attached to the outer frame 11 can be improved, and the outer frame 11 can be prevented from falling.

  In the outer frame 11 of the embodiment, by moving the pair of self-supporting auxiliary members 43 and 43 disposed on the front plate 38 to the extended position, as shown in FIG. Leg portions 46 extend in front of the front edge. Since the auxiliary bottom surfaces of the leg portions 46 and 46 are located on the same plane as the bottom surface of the lower frame portion 26 (the bottom surfaces of the support portion 34b and the lower connecting portions 35 and 35), the bottom surface of the lower frame portion 26 is the floor surface. In the posture in which the outer frame 11 is erected so as to be in contact with the ground, the contact area with respect to the floor is increased by the amount of both leg portions 46 and 46, and the stability in the erected posture is further improved. Moreover, since the leg portions 46 and 46 extend forward from the front end of the lower frame portion 26, when the outer frame 11 in the posture stood by the dead weight of the frame constituent member attached to the outer frame 11 is tilted forward. The fulcrum position of the lower frame portion 26 can be positioned in front of the front end of the lower frame portion 26, and in combination with the center of gravity of the lower frame portion 26 being biased rearward, the outer frame 11 is prevented from tilting. can do. In the retracted position of the self-supporting auxiliary members 43, 43, as shown in FIG. 10 (a), the leg portions 46, 46 do not extend forward from the front edge of the lower frame portion 26. When the self-supporting auxiliary members 43 and 43 are positioned at the retracted position in the state where they are attached to the frame base 24, the legs 46 and 46 do not get in the way.

  As shown in FIGS. 6 and 8, the lower frame portion 26 is provided with the wooden member 37 so as to be exposed on the bottom surface side. Therefore, when attaching the outer frame 11 to the installation frame base 24, The lower frame portion 26 can be easily fixed to the installation frame base 24 using a nail. In other words, the outer frame 11 can be easily fixed to the installation frame base 24 while the lower frame portion 26 is made of metal to suppress warping, bending, and the like to improve the self-supporting stability. Further, since the bottom surface of the protrusion 37b of the wooden member 37 does not protrude downward from the bottom surface of the lower frame portion 26 (specifically, the bottom surfaces of the support portion 34b and the lower connecting portions 35 and 35), the outer frame 11 is raised. In this posture, the balance of the outer frame 11 is not lost by the wooden member 37 coming into contact with the floor surface.
