Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to a separate pachinko game machine in which the game board is configured to be detachable, and in particular, to a machine that allows the game board to be replaced easily and quickly in a game hall. Regarding pachinko gaming machines.

[Conventional technology]

Conventionally, as shown in Japanese Utility Model Application No. 47-28087, the game board has been made detachable from the window frame, and the game board has been held with installed bolts, and Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 51-77446 As shown in the publication, there was a pachinko game machine in which the necessary mechanisms and devices were attached to the game board together with a board with wing nuts on the back side.

[Problem to be solved by the invention]

However, the above-mentioned conventional technology has the disadvantage that if a ball jams or the like occurs on the back of the game board during operation at a game parlor, the mechanical plate must be removed for work, and repairs cannot be done quickly. Was.

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 and close when the mechanism plate is opened. If the connections are not exactly facing each other, the connection will be reconnected when the
There was a problem that the prize balls would get stuck.

In addition, in the above conventional technology, when replacing a game board at a game parlor, it is necessary to loosen the wing nut, remove the board from the game board, store it in another location, and replace the game board in that state. There was a problem that the panel replacement work was troublesome.

Furthermore, since the installation bolts are used to hold the game board, there is a problem in that it takes time to replace the game board.

[Means to solve the problem]

The present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned problems, and includes a support plate that is integrally formed with the front frame and to which the game board is attached from the back side, and the support plate includes a lower support plate portion and the support plate. The support plate is provided with a position regulating part for regulating the position of the game board at a predetermined location on the back surface of the support plate. Support members of the mechanism plate are fixed to upper and lower positions on the right side when viewed from the back side of the plate, and the mechanism plate is supported by the support members and supported members provided on the mechanism plate so as to be openable and closable with respect to the support plate. a shaft passing through the support plate;
A mounting member includes a locking portion rotatably supported on the shaft and urged against the game board by a pressing member, and a rotating arm formed in a substantially L-shape in conjunction with the locking portion. A plurality of locking portions are provided, and the locking portion is formed approximately parallel to the back surface of the support plate, and the rotating arm extends from the surface of the locking portion in a direction away from the support plate, and the rotation arm is provided with a plurality of locking portions. The support plate is formed to protrude from the back surface of the support plate, and the game board is fixed by locking the back surface of the game board with the locking portion, and the rotation range of the mounting member is limited. A restricting stopper member is provided on the support plate.

[Effect]

According to the present invention, support members for the mechanism plate are provided at upper and lower positions on the right side when viewed from the back side of the support plate, and the member to which the mechanism plate is attached is supported on the support member so that the mechanism plate can be freely opened and closed. The positions of the prize ball outlet of the machine and the prize ball outlet of the mechanism board can be maintained in an accurate state, and the opening direction of the mechanism plate is set to the right, making it easy to remove the game board.

In addition, since the rotating arm extends from the surface of the locking portion in a direction away from the support plate, and the rotating arm is formed to protrude from the back surface of the support plate, the operation of rotating the rotating arm is simplified. To quickly replace a large number of game boards in a game parlor where a large number of pachinko machines are arranged.

In addition, we have provided a stopper member that restricts the rotation range of the fixing member that fixes the game board to the support plate.
