[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a machine body for a pachinko game machine, and more specifically, to an outer frame forming an outer shell of the machine body and a front and rear assembly side of the outer frame which is detachably and openably mountable. The present invention relates to an aircraft including a frame.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In a game machine of this type represented by a pachinko machine, a front frame having many game components mounted thereon is assembled on the front side of an opening of a vertical rectangular outer frame, which is a unit. . When performing the game in the game hall, the outer frame is fixed and held upright on the installation frame base, which is also commonly called "island," and the entire front frame side is assembled and set in this outer frame, It is designed to be used as a ball game machine.

Therefore, considering that the outer frame itself is a supporting machine frame for assembling and holding the entire front frame side in a normal use condition or its purpose, it sufficiently bears a large load or the like. It is composed of gaining strength. On the other hand, the front frame itself is also configured with durability strength against the total load in consideration of mounting all the game components. Regarding the mutual holding of the outer frame and the front frame, the fulcrum shaft and the shaft hole in the open / close connection support portions arranged above and below one side end of both frames are provided on the assumption that they can be attached / detached and opened / closed. They are connected to each other so that the hanging metal fitting and the receiving metal fitting in the locking device installed on the opposite side are engaged with each other.

In this vertical gaming machine, when the machine itself is stored vertically in the assembled state of the outer frame and the front frame, or when it is installed on the installation frame base, Whether the front frame is closed or open with respect to the frame, the lower end of the front frame is placed on and directly abuts on the upper end of the front plate portion of the outer frame. Therefore, the entire front frame side can receive the total load on the outer frame side while always acting downward, so that the fulcrum shaft of the opening / closing connection support part and the hook of the locking device are affected by the load on the front frame side. Detrimental effects, especially deformation, are unlikely to occur.

[0005]

As described above, in the conventional gaming machine, the assembling of the outer frame and the front frame depends on the opening / closing connection support portion and the locking device. However, these are means for opening / closing and attaching / detaching the front frame to / from the outer frame, and holding and closing the frame.Aside from this means, there is a technique for stably and firmly connecting and holding the assembled state of both frames. Nothing has been done. Because of this, the gaming machine itself is in a horizontal position
When handled in (position), these means are likely to suffer from adverse effects due to load influence.

In other words, the gaming machine is normally used in consideration of the stationary stability of the entire machine except when it is vertically mounted on the above-mentioned installation frame, for example, during transfer in a manufacturing plant or stock. In many cases, the vehicle is in a sideways (sideways) state when it is loaded, transported or loaded into a game hall. In the sideways state, when it is handled manually, the central portion of the side frame rod member located above the outer frame is directly gripped and moved to each part.

When the gaming machine is handled sideways in this way, even if the outer frame itself and the front frame itself are strong frame members, technical means for strengthening the assembling of both frame members is provided. Since the open / close connection support part receives the total load of the entire front frame side as a downward shearing force, the fulcrum shaft may be bent and deformed from its root, or it may be loose. May occur. As a reality
When the gaming machine is transferred to a predetermined part in a horizontal position and is set to a vertical position, in many cases, the lower corner of the machine (outer frame) may be applied so as to drop on the floor surface. If the impact or vibration at that time largely and intensively acts on the open / close connection support point, the fulcrum shaft may even be broken.

In recent game machines, both the outer frame and the front frame are made of synthetic resin and assembled and locked by an opening / closing connection support part and a locking device. However, even in this type, since the technology and ingenuity to keep the assembled state of both frames combined are not maintained, the total load effect and impact on the front frame side in the sideways state of the gaming machine etc. In some cases, the fulcrum shaft may loosen or the bearing boss may be damaged.

As a result, when viewing the assembled state of the outer frame and the front frame in each gaming machine, unexpected opening or backlash may occur in the opening and closing connection support portions of each other, or due to this, the front frame However, there is a big problem that the front frame cannot be locked and held in an appropriate posture while it cannot be stably and smoothly opened and closed.

[0010]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been proposed in order to suitably solve the above-mentioned problems, and in consideration of the fact that the gaming machine is handled in a horizontal state and is stationary, the outer frame and the front frame are considered. The state of assembly with and does not depend only on the opening and closing connection support part,
Engagement support means including an engaging part on the back side of the front frame and a receiving part on the inner side of the outer frame further strengthens the structure to ensure stable holding, and supports and supports the front frame with respect to the outer frame so that it can be smoothly opened and closed for a long time. An object of the present invention is to provide a machine body for a pachinko game machine that can be held in various postures.

[0011]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In order to overcome the above-mentioned problems and achieve a desired object, the present invention is to mount various game constituent members on the front side of an opening of an outer frame forming an outer rectangular frame. To
Eggplant previous frame, in the pachinko game machine which is openably assembling only retained in an upright state, the closing joint support means for both the frame connected to the upper and lower portions of the common one side edge of the outer frame and the front frame On the other side of this side , a locking device for locking both frames is installed.
Place it and place the engaging support means for engaging both frames.
In the engagement support means of, the side edge on the side opposite to the opening and closing fulcrum of the front frame
Engaging support pieces protruding downward from the upper and lower parts of the back side
And installed on the upper and lower parts inside the side rod on the side opposite the opening and closing fulcrum of the outer frame
It has a receiving part that is integrally molded with the locked receiving device.
However, this engaging support piece and the receiving part
It is in a state that it can be pulled out in the front-rear direction when it is closed.
Are held in a state where they are engaged or abutted against each other in the left-right direction
Characterized in that so as to be.

[0012]

With the premise that the front frame is detachably and removably connected to the outer frame by the open / close connection support portion and is closed and held by the locking device, the front and rear engagement parts of the engagement support means are not connected to the outer part of the front frame. The receiving portion of the locking receiving tool inside the frame is fitted and inserted in a state of being engaged or abutted with each other in any of left and right directions. Therefore, regardless of whether the entire gaming machine is in the sideways state in which the open / close connection support portion is on the lower side or the upper side, the engagement contact state of the engagement portion and the receiving portion of the engagement support means are in contact with each other. In, the outer frame always takes up most of the total load on the front frame side. As a result, the shearing external force acting on the fulcrum shaft in the open / close connection support portion is remarkably reduced, and the deformation or looseness of the fulcrum shaft is eliminated.

[0013]

However, when the right end of each of the right engagement support pieces 61, 61 is formed along the arc locus line of the opening / closing radius, it is engaged with the corresponding receiving portion 62, 62.

(Operation of Embodiment) In the pachinko gaming machine of the present embodiment described above, first, an example of an assembling mode of both frames A and B forming the machine body will be described. That is, the front frame B is held at a slightly higher position with the front frame B opened with respect to the outer frame A that is stationary and held in a vertical posture on the floor surface or the like. Then, in the upper open / close coupling support means C, the bearing sleeve 47 of the bearing boss portion 45 is tentatively fitted and positioned with respect to the support shaft 43 from above.
Under this condition, in the lower opening / closing connection support means C, the bearing sleeve 58 of the bearing boss portion 56 is fitted to the support shaft 54 from above. By lowering the front frame B in this state, the sleeves 47, 58 are attached to the support shafts 43, 54 of the upper and lower means C, C, respectively.
Are closely fitted and inserted, and the front frame B is connected and supported with the outer frame A being properly centered. This assembling can be easily performed because the upper support shaft 43 is appropriately longer than the lower support shaft 54.

Next, the front frame B is opened and closed by opening and closing the upper and lower support shafts 43 and 54.
After closing the outer frame A as the center of rotation (rotation) and the lower end surface of the front frame B on the side opposite to the fulcrum portion is located at the horizontal upper end surface of the lower frame member 4 of the outer frame A, the front frame B is appropriately strengthened. Push in. As a result, the upper and lower hooks 39, 39 of the locking device 37
The lock receiving metal fitting 4 of the outer frame A with its own deformation.
The front frame B is locked and held by the outer frame A in a closed state by engaging with 0 and 40.

As a result, when both frames A and B are assembled, the lower surface of the positioning seat 59 of the bearing sleeve 58 in the lower means C is the horizontal upper end surface of the support boss 51 (the flange 55 of the support shaft 54 in the figure). The support seat 26 of the front frame B contacts the receiving seat 8 of the lower frame member 4, while the lower end inside of the front frame B is positioned on the contact rod 9. Therefore, the entire front frame B is stably supported by the front support rod 6 of the lower frame member 4 in a proper horizontal state in an appropriately floating state. Further, the pressing piece 44 of the connecting fitting 41 of the upper means C presses against the upper surface of the locking seat 48 at the upper end surface of the front frame B to prevent the front frame B from moving upward.

On the other hand, in the assembled state of both frames A and B, in the engagement support means D and D ₁ of each part, the upper and lower left side engaging support pieces 61 and 61 are the inner side surfaces 3a and 7a on the left side of the outer frame A, respectively. The upper and lower right engaging support pieces 61, 61 are fitted into and engaged with or abutted in the respective lock receiving fittings 40, 40 on the right side of the outer frame A. As a result, rattling of the entire front frame B with respect to the outer frame A in the left-right direction is properly suppressed. Therefore, for pachinko gaming machines, for example, during storage in the manufacturing plant
When the machines themselves are stacked or handled sideways (sideways) during (stocking), transportation of vehicles, and transfer of goods to and from game halls and other parts, the outer frame A is on the front frame B side. The whole is favorably supported.

That is, in the sideways state, the entire front frame B side tends to lower with respect to the outer frame A, so that the total load always acts downward. In such a state, in the lateral state in which the open / close coupling support means C, C is on the lower side or the upper side, the engagement support means D, D ₁ on the side to be displaced to the lower left and right sides is engaged. The supporting pieces 61, 61 are the inner side surfaces 3a, 7a or the receiving portion 6 displaced to the lower side of the outer frame A.
2, 62 will be engaged respectively. Therefore, the total load of the entire front frame B is directly applied to the left side rod 3 of the outer frame A and the left connecting plate 7 of the lower frame member 4 or the right side lock receiving metal fittings 40, 40 in any of the lateral directions. Will work. Further, when the machine itself is raised from the horizontal direction to the vertical direction, even if the lower left or lower right corner of the lower frame member 4 of the outer frame A may once hit the floor surface, the respective engaging support means. Since D and D ₁ are in the engaged state, the front frame B
The total load on the side acts on each part of the outer frame A.

Therefore, the engaging and supporting means D, D _{1 of the} respective parts described above
As a result of the engagement support action by the outer frame A, the outer frame A directly bears most of the total load of the front frame, whereas the open / close coupling support means C, C significantly reduce the total load of the front frame. The small external force is applied, and the action of the large external force in the shearing direction is avoided. As a result, the support shafts 43 and 54 of the means C and C are deformed and loosened, and the boss portions 45 and 5 are
The deformation and crack damage of 1,56 and the deformation of the hooks 39,39 of the locking device 37 are eliminated.

In particular, in this embodiment, the engaging support means D ₁ and D ₁ on the right side of the front side are provided with the engaging support pieces 61 and 6 on the front frame B side.
1 is the receiving portion 62, 6 of the locking receiving metal fitting 40, 40 on the outer frame A side.
The engagement support pieces 61 are capable of abutting the left and right end surfaces of the engagement support pieces 61 on both inner side surfaces of the receiving portion 62 by being fitted and engaged with the second support pieces 2. Therefore, it is possible to omit the upper and lower engaging support means D, D on the front left side, and on this premise, when the machine itself is turned sideways, the engaging support pieces in the above-mentioned respective means D ₁ , D ₁ The contact state of each side surface of 61 and the receiving portion 62 is maintained, and the total load of the entire front frame B side can be received by the right side rod 3 of the outer frame A.

As described above, the pachinko game machine having the outer frame A and the front frame B that are assembled and held as a machine body is vertically installed on the installation frame base F in the game hole in its implementation. It is used for games as a ball game machine. In this state, the entire front frame B is properly and stably connected to and supported by the outer frame A, and can be smoothly opened and closed without rattling, and is closed while being maintained in a proper horizontal posture. The set is retained.

Here, the installation of the game machine will be additionally described. That is, on each surface side (generally also referred to as "row") of the installation frame base F, in the gaming machine of each base, the entire front frame B side is assembled to the outer frame A fixed at a required tilt angle to play the game. The state where the board 32 is properly tilted backward is in a normal and proper posture. The inclination of the entire gaming machine is set based on how much the upper end side is displaced rearward with respect to the lower edge front edge with reference to the vertical state. By the way, for the displacement amount,
It is also called "minutes and minutes".

In such a background, in the pachinko gaming machine of this embodiment, the outer frame A can be tilted and fixed to the installation frame base F as follows. That is, as partially illustrated in FIG. 6, as the alignment of the outer frame A placed on the installation frame base F, the matching position of the lower edge (which is the lower front edge of the lower frame member 4) P ₁ is received under While aligning with the reference line position P of the plate 71, the alignment line position of the upper end (not shown) (referred to as the upper front edge of the upper rod 2) is appropriately displaced rearward with respect to the reference line position of the upper plate 72 to obtain an angle. The tilt angle of the entire frame is set by a measuring device (not shown). Under this condition, the upper rod 2 of the outer frame A is replaced by the upper plate 7
Fix it to Nail 2.

Next, with the lower alignment position P ₁ of the outer frame A and the reference line position P of the lower receiving plate 71 being adjusted and held in order, the lower frame member 4 is adjusted to both angles. Setting mechanism M,
It is fixed on the lower receiving plate 71 by M. That is, as shown in FIG. 5 and FIG. 6, with respect to each fixed platen 14, the pointer 18 is aligned with, for example, the “0” point position of the scale 19, and the locking tooth bands 12, 12 of both rows are mutually aligned. Positioning engagement is made via the teeth 13, 15. And set screw 17 to fixed board 1
4 is inserted into the long hole 11 from the hole 16 and is deeply screwed into the lower receiving plate 71, and the fixing plate 14 is strongly tightened from above to directly press and fix the lower rod 5. As a result, the outer frame A is tilted and fixed, and the front frame B side is assembled to this, so that the entire gaming machine is installed at a required tilt angle.

When the gaming machine installed as described above is changed and adjusted to another angle, first, the set screw 17 is slightly loosened to temporarily release the engagement between the engaging tooth belt 12 and the fixed platen 14, The lower frame member 4 of the outer frame A is moved in either the front or rear direction. As a result, as illustrated in FIGS. 7 (a) and 7 (b),
The lower frame member 4 is relatively moved via the elongated hole 11 with respect to the set screw 17 that is still screwed and fixed to the lower receiving plate 71 of the installation frame base F. This movement adjustment is performed while observing the displacement of the scale 19 with respect to the pointer 18 of the fixed platen 14, and is changed and adjusted from the "0" point reference to any one of the numerical values "1 to 5". As a result, the tilt angle of the outer frame A is determined.

After setting the angle of the outer frame A, the set screw 1
By firmly screwing 7 again, the fixing plate 14 is again meshed and fixed at the relative displacement portions with respect to the locking tooth bands 12 in both rows. As a result, fine movement of the lower frame member 4 with respect to the fixed platen 14 is prevented, and the outer frame A is firmly tilted and fixed. As a result, the angle of the entire game machine, and the game board 32 on the front frame B side assembled to the outer frame A is changed. Regarding this angle changing work, the entire front frame B side is once disassembled or is held open, or the entire front frame side of the gaming machine in the opposite row of the installation frame base F is held open. It can be performed in any of the modes.

As for the technique relating to the assembly engagement and holding of the machine body in the pachinko game machine to which the present invention is applied, other examples than the above-mentioned embodiment are preferably recommended. That is, in the example in which the outer frame A and the front frame B are connected and held on the side opposite to the opening / closing fulcrum, when the outer frame A is formed of synthetic resin, the pieces corresponding to the locking receiving fittings 40, 40 are integrally formed. It may be formed by molding, and the receiving portion may be integrally formed with the receiving piece. In accordance with this, as illustrated in FIG. 15, the receiving portion 63 may be integrally formed with the right connecting plate 7 of the lower frame member 4. In addition, including the case where the front frame B is formed of wood, the engagement support pieces 61, 61 may be metal-made engagement fittings 64, 64 as illustrated in FIGS. 16 and 17, respectively. . As a matter of course, as another proposal, it is possible to propose an example in which the receiving portion is formed on the reinforcing connecting fitting or the portion fixed to the inside of the outer frame A, and the engaging support piece on the back side of the front frame B is engaged with this.

As can be understood from the above embodiment,
In the machine body of the pachinko gaming machine of the present invention, the outer frame forming the outer shell and the front frame on which the game constituent members are mounted are assembled by the opening and closing connection support means and are closed and held by the locking device, The engagement portion and the receiving portion in the engagement support means disposed inside the side portions of the frame and the front frame on the side opposite to the opening / closing fulcrum can exhibit a proper engagement relationship or abutment relationship with each other.

As a result, the front frame can be properly and firmly assembled and held with respect to the outer frame for stable reinforcement, and it is possible to favorably avoid backlash in the left and right in the vertical direction. In particular, when the game machine is handled in a horizontal state for storage, transportation, transfer, or the like, the total load of the entire front frame acts as a downward external force, while the engagement support means of each part is engaged. The parts and the receiving parts act on the outer frame side by maintaining the relationship of engagement or abutment. Therefore, the outer frame is
Most of the total load will be taken up by each part, and as a result, the external force acting on the opening and closing connection support means side of both frames, in other words, the concentrated load in the shearing direction on the fulcrum part, can be significantly reduced. it can.

Therefore, the harmful effect of the open / close connection supporting portions of both frames, that is, bending deformation and backlash of the support shaft, and crack damage and deformation of the boss portion in the case of synthetic resin are eliminated and a stable state is maintained for a long time. Can be maintained. As a result, the front frame side is connected to and supported by the outer frame so that the front frame side can be opened and closed smoothly and is held in an appropriate posture.

Further, in the present invention, in the current pachinko gaming machine, focusing on the fact that the front frame assembled to the outer frame is originally held by the locking device, the receiving portion for the engaging portion on the front frame side is locked. Since it is integrally molded using the lock receiving metal fittings or parts on the outer frame side of the device, it is not necessary to mold and attach special parts or metal fittings corresponding to these receiving parts, and the number of parts Can be omitted.
