DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Industrial application] The present invention relates to a locking device for a front frame operating rod and a glass door frame, in which an engaging protrusion provided on an outer frame and a lock piece for engaging and disengaging are formed vertically. The operating lever for the glass door frame, which is formed with an operating protrusion that engages with the operating lever, is slidably provided on a support member fixed to one side of the rear surface of the front frame, and is rotated by the rotation of the key. The present invention relates to a locking device in a pachinko machine in which each of the operating rods slides in the unlocking direction by a rotating cam.

[Prior Art] Conventionally, in many pachinko machines provided on the market, there are a front frame operation rod and a glass door frame in which an engaging protrusion provided on an outer frame and a lock piece for engaging and disengaging are formed vertically. A glass door frame operating rod formed with an operating protrusion that engages with the operating lever of the locking device is slidably provided on a supporting member fixed to one side of the rear surface of the front frame, and the key is rotated by a key. A locking device for sliding each of the operating rods in the unlocking direction by a rotating cam that rotates is attached. In such a locking device, a store clerk in the game hall inserts a key into a keyhole facing the front of the front frame, and rotates the front frame in one direction to rotate the front frame in the other direction. Is configured to be opened.

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] However, in a game arcade, a key for operating a locking device may be lost. In such a case, a player who obtains the lost key is particularly likely to lose a glass. There arises a problem of opening the door frame and playing illegal games. In order to prevent this, if you install a locking device that can open only the front frame with a key, you can solve such a problem, but in the game hall, illegal games are monitored by other methods. There is also a desire for a conventional locking device that can open both the front frame and the glass door frame with a single key. Therefore, in order to meet these demands, it is necessary to prepare a pachinko machine equipped with two types of locking devices, to manufacture a pachinko machine for each type according to an order, and to accurately convey each type. There was a hassle of having to do it.

The present invention has been made in view of the above-described inconvenience, and the purpose thereof is to switch between a case where only one front frame can be opened by one locking device and a case where both the front frame and the glass door frame can be opened. (EN) Provided is a locking device for a pachinko machine that can be used.

[Means for Solving the Problem] In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, a locking device in a pachinko machine according to the present invention has a front surface in which an engaging projection piece provided on an outer frame and a locking piece that engages and disengages are formed vertically. An operating rod for a frame and an operating rod for a glass door frame formed with an operating protrusion that engages with an operating lever of a locking device for a glass door frame are slidably provided on a support member fixed to one side of the rear surface of the front frame. In addition, each of the operating rods is slid in the unlocking direction by a rotating cam that is rotated by the rotation of the key, and the supporting member is slidable on the glass door frame operating rod. It is characterized in that a stopper member that can be switched so as to be able to block the operation is provided.

[Operation] The sliding action of the glass door frame operating rod is blocked by switching the stopper member to a position where it can be blocked, so the glass door frame can be opened even if the key is inserted and rotated. Can not. In this case, the front frame can be opened by inserting the key into the keyhole and rotating it in one direction.In this open state, the hands are inserted into the back side of the front frame and the operating lever of the locking device for the glass door frame is opened. By operating it, you can open the glass door frame as a result and play illegal games, but in this case, first open the front frame and then operate the operating lever to open the glass door frame. Since fraudulent acts can only be done on the top, it takes time and the front frame needs to be greatly opened to operate the operating lever.Therefore, I found fraudulent games compared to opening only the glass door frame. easy.

On the other hand, by switching the stopper member to a position where it cannot be blocked, the sliding operation of the glass rod operation lever can be performed, and the front frame can be opened by inserting the key into the keyhole and rotating in one direction as in the conventional case. The glass door frame can be opened by rotating in the other direction.

That is, the locking device in the pachinko machine according to the present invention,
It is possible to switch between the case where only one front frame can be opened by one locking device and the case where both the front frame and the glass door frame can be opened.
