Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to a separate pachinko game machine in which the game machine is configured to be detachable, and sometimes to a machine in which a mechanism plate and a mounting board can be opened and closed.

[Conventional technology]

Conventionally, a pachinko game machine as shown in Japanese Patent Application Laid-open No. 77446/1983 has used a mechanism plate provided with various parts attached to the back of the game board. Further, a mounting board provided with an upper plate was attached to the frame.

[Problem that the invention seeks to solve]

However, in the above-mentioned conventional technology, if a ball jams or the like occurs on the back of the game board during operation at a game parlor, the mechanism plate must be removed and repaired, which has the disadvantage that quick repairs cannot be performed. had.

Therefore, it is possible to support the mechanism plate so that it can be opened and closed, but by making it openable and closable, the connection between the prize ball outlet on the mechanism plate and the communication port on the upper tray will separate when the mechanism plate is opened, and when the mechanism plate is opened, it will be closed. Since the ball is reconnected when the ball is connected, there was a problem that the prize ball would become stuck if the connecting portions were not exactly facing each other.

In addition, in the conventional pachinko game machine mentioned above, the mounting board with the upper tray attached is attached to the front frame, so the ball supply device on the back side of the mounting board can stop the ball and the firing rail can stop the ball. When a ball jam or the like occurs during operation, the ball jam cannot be easily cleared in a short time because the mounting board cannot be opened, which is very troublesome for the employees of the game hall.

Therefore, in order to solve the above problem, it is conceivable to attach the mounting board to the front frame so as to be openable and closable.

However, if the prize balls fill up from the upper tray to the prize ball outlet and the mounting board is opened while the upper tray is still full, the upper tray and the prize ball outlet will be separated, so there will be no flow from the prize ball outlet. The drawback was that the prize balls were ejected outside the machine, causing pachinko balls to scatter.

Moreover, since the mounting board is opened after removing the prize balls from the upper tray and the prize ball outlet to prevent scattering, there is a problem that repair time is required.

An object of the present invention is to provide a flow path and various parts for prize balls necessary for a pachinko game machine in advance in front and rear of a support plate integrally formed of synthetic resin, so that the mutual positional relationship can be made accurate. To provide a trouble-free pachinko game machine that can improve various work efficiencies.

[Means to solve the problem]

The present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned problems, and includes a support plate to which a game board is attached from the back side, which is integrally formed with a front frame, and which includes a lower support plate portion and both sides of the support plate portion. A frame member formed in a round shape above the front frame is integrally formed of a synthetic resin material, and a mounting board below the glass frame attached to the front frame is provided on the front frame so as to be openable and closable, A first prize ball tray is provided on the front surface of the board to store prize balls drawn out from a prize ball outlet formed on the support plate or the game board and guide them to an automatic ball supply mechanism, the first prize ball tray. a ball extractor provided in connection with the ball extractor, a ball extractor operation lever that normally covers the ball extractor and can open the ball extractor by operating the lever; and a lead-out gutter that guides the prize balls stored in the first prize ball receiver to the second prize ball receiver, and the support plate part includes a batted ball launch rail mounting part for fixing the batted ball launch rail; , a FAR ball outlet that guides the hit ball that has become a FAR ball to a second prize ball receiver, and an introduction path is formed so as to communicate with the FAR ball outlet, the outlet of the outlet gutter, and the prize ball outlet, respectively. and the Fouar balls from the Fouar ball outlet, the prize balls from the outlet of the gutter, and the prize balls from the prize ball outlet are transferred to the second prize ball receiver via a confluence chute provided on the back side of the frame. A plurality of mounting members for mounting the game board are formed on the back surface of the frame member, and a mechanism plate is mounted corresponding to the back surface of the game board and the back surface of the support plate, and the mechanism plate is mounted on the back surface of the frame member. Support members that support the support plate so as to be openable and closable are provided at upper and lower positions on one side of the support plate, a fixing member is provided on the mechanism plate, and a receiving portion is provided on the support plate at a position facing the fixing member. It is characterized by

[Effect]

According to the present invention, the overall adjustment of the pachinko game machine is easy, the work of assembling various parts is extremely easy, and the work of attaching and detaching the game board and opening and closing of the mechanism plate after assembly can be done simply and quickly. Since the position of the prize ball outlet that passes through the front from the back of the support plate is exactly opposite to the position of the prize ball payout opening of the mechanism plate, there is no risk of the prize ball stopping, and furthermore, the position of the prize ball outlet of the mechanism plate is Since the position of the fixing member and the position of the receiving portion of the support plate are accurate, the mechanism plate can be easily fixed.

Furthermore, during business hours, even if the mounting board is opened with the prize balls remaining filled from the first prize ball tray to the prize ball outlet, the prize balls from the prize ball outlet will be transferred to the second prize by the introduction path. Since the balls are guided into the ball tray, there is no need to remove the prize balls from the first prize ball tray and the prize ball outlet, thereby improving the efficiency of repair work.
