[0007] According to the means 1, at the time of locking, all the hooks are locked to the locked parts, and the glass frame is kept closed with respect to the front frame. In this state, when the key is unlocked from the front of the front frame, the lock operates according to the operation.
The operation of the lock is transmitted to the locking rod via the unlocking operation member. By this transmission, the unlocking operation member and the locking rod move, all the hooks disengage from the locked parts, and the glass frame can be opened. At this time, in the unlocking operation member, the cover that covers at least the portion protruding from the locking rod from the rear is
It does not hinder the movement of the unlocking operation member. On the other hand, at the time of locking, in order to improperly move the unlocking operation member without using a key, even if an attempt is made to bring a wire or the like close to the unlocking operation member, the wire is blocked by the cover. It is difficult to apply force by bringing a wire or the like into contact with the unlocking operation member. As a result, both the unlocking operation member and the locking rod do not move, and all the hooks continue to be locked to the locked portions.

According to the means 2, when the front frame is closed with respect to the outer frame and the mechanism plate is closed with respect to the front frame, a gap is formed between the outer frame and the mechanism plate, and the unlocking operation is performed there. The member is located. On the other hand, the cover that covers the unlocking operation member from the rear
One side is fixed to the outer surface of the mechanism plate. If this one side surface is in close contact with the outer surface, there is substantially no gap between the cover and the mechanism plate. Further, since the cover has at least the same width as the gap, the gap between the other side surface of the cover and the inner surface of the outer frame is small. Therefore, it is difficult to pass a wire or the like between the cover and the mechanism plate or between the cover and the outer frame in order to illegally move the unlocking operation member without using a key. For this reason, in addition to the same effect as the means 1, the structure of the cover can be simplified because the mechanism plate and the outer frame function as a part of the cover. Further, since the mechanism plate is used as a fixing portion of the cover, no special mechanism or another member is required for fixing the cover.

According to the means 3, when the front frame is closed with respect to the outer frame and the mechanism plate is closed with respect to the front frame, the unlocking operation member is covered with the cover from the rear. Penetrates into the concave portion opened on the inner surface of the outer frame. Therefore, in order to illegally move the unlocking operation member, if the end of the wire or the like is to pass between the cover and the outer frame, it must pass through the gap between the cover and the recess. Since this gap is bent, it is practically impossible to pass a wire or the like therethrough. Therefore, in addition to the effect of the means 2, unauthorized unlocking can be more reliably prevented with a simple configuration.

According to the means 4, when the front frame is opened and closed with the mechanism plate closed and the front frame is rotated about an axis, the cover moves along an arc centered on the axis. I do. Since the shaft is located forward of the recess, the arc has a bulge outward at the front end portion rather than at the rear end portion of the recess. Here, it is assumed that the depth of the concave portion is constant at any position. Under this premise, the front end of the inner bottom surface of the recess is used as a reference position, and if the depth of the recess is set so that the gap between the inner bottom surface and the cover here becomes narrower, the gap at the rear end is obtained. Becomes wider, and the wire becomes easier to pass through. Conversely, if the rear end of the inner bottom surface of the concave portion is used as a reference position and the depth of the concave portion is set so that the gap between the inner bottom surface and the cover here becomes narrower, the front end portion has the inner bottom surface. The contact with the cover makes it difficult to open and close the front frame.

On the other hand, in the means 4, the depth of the recess is devised so that it is the shallowest at the rear end and deeper toward the front.
If the inner bottom surface of the recess is along the arc, the gap between the cover and the inner bottom surface is substantially uniform regardless of where the cover is located. For this reason, when the cover is accommodated in the rear end of the recess, the gap between the cover and the inner bottom surface is small, and the cover does not interfere with the inner bottom surface at the front end of the recess when the front frame is opened and closed. Therefore, in addition to the effect of the means 3, the prevention of unauthorized unlocking and the securing of the opening / closing operation of the front frame can both be achieved.

According to the means 6, the extension lever disposed in the storage position is stored in front of the cover. In this state, the extension lever and the unlocking operation member are covered from behind by the cover. Even if an attempt is made to move the unlocking member illegally without using a key, even if a wire or the like is brought close to the unlocking member, it is blocked by the cover. At this time, if the width of the long hole formed in the cover is smaller than the thickness of a general wire that is expected to be used for unauthorized unlocking, it is difficult to pass a wire or the like through the long hole. On the other hand, the extension lever disposed at the penetrating position penetrates the cover through the elongated hole. If the extension lever is operated and moved along the elongated hole, the movement is transmitted to the unlocking operation member by the transmission unit.

On the other hand, taking advantage of the fact that a slight gap is formed between the pachinko gaming machine 1 and the ball rental machine 2, a wire or the like, for example, a wire is used without using the dedicated key 17 at the time of locking. Even if the distal end portion of the wire or the like is brought close to the unlocking operation member 22 in order to move the unlocking operation member 22 illegally in order to insert the unlocking operation member 22 through the lower part of the gap, it is blocked by the cover 31. As shown in FIGS. 7 to 9, since the side wall 35 of the cover 31 is fixed to the mechanism plate 7 by adhesion, there is no gap between the both 35 and 7. Further, since the side portion 31a of the cover 31 enters the rear end of the concave portion 39, there is substantially no gap between the cover 31 and the inner surface 3a of the outer frame 3. Therefore, it is very difficult to pass the tip of the wire or the like between the cover 31 and the mechanism plate 7 or between the cover 31 and the outer frame 3. If the end portion of the wire or the like is to pass between the cover 31 and the outer frame 3, the cover 31
Must pass through the gap. Since this gap is bent, it is practically impossible to pass a wire or the like therethrough.

Further, a plate-shaped upper wall portion 33 and a bottom wall portion 34 extend forward from the upper edge and the lower edge of the main body portion 32, and cover the unlocking operation member 22 from above and below. . It is difficult to penetrate the wire and the like by passing them around (bypassing) and to reach the unlocking operation member 22. Since the width of the elongated hole 36 formed in the cover 31 is smaller than the thickness of a general wire, a wire or the like cannot be passed through the elongated hole 36. Therefore, the unlocking operation member 22
It is almost impossible to apply force by contacting the surface. As a result, both the unlocking operation member 22 and the locking rod 21 do not move,
All the hooks 26 continue to be locked to the receiving fitting 23. As described above, according to the present embodiment, the unlocking operation using the dedicated key 17 can be performed without any trouble, and the unlocking operation member 22 is illegally moved with the wire or the like while having a very simple configuration. Thus, unauthorized unlocking of the glass frame 6 can be reliably prevented. Further, the cost increase of the pachinko gaming machine 1 due to the addition of the cover 31 is minimized.

The front frame 4 with the mechanism plate 7 closed is shown.
In opening and closing the front frame 4, the front frame 4 rotates about the shaft 4a as a fulcrum. In this case, as shown in FIG.
Side 31a moves along an arc C centered on the axis 4a. Since the shaft 4a is located forward of the concave portion 39, the arc C has its front end portion bulging outward (downward in FIG. 2B) from the rear end portion of the concave portion 39. Here, it is assumed that the depth D of the concave portion 39 is constant at any position. Under this premise, if the front end of the inner bottom surface 39b of the concave portion 39 is set as a reference position, and the depth D is set so that the gap between the inner bottom surface 39b and the cover 31 becomes narrower,
The gap at the rear end is widened, and the wire or the like easily passes. Conversely, if the rear end of the inner bottom surface 39b is used as a reference position and the depth D is set so that the gap between the inner bottom surface 39b and the cover 31 becomes narrower, the inner bottom surface 39b is formed at the front end. And the cover 31 come into contact with each other, making opening and closing of the front frame 4 difficult or impossible.

On the other hand, in the present embodiment, the depth D of the concave portion 39 is devised so as to be along the arc C, and is made shallowest at the rear end and deeper toward the front. For this reason, the cover 3
The gap between the cover 39 and the inner bottom surface 39b is substantially uniform no matter where the recess 1 is located in the recess 39. When the cover 31 is accommodated in the rear end of the concave portion 39, the gap between the cover 31 and the inner bottom surface 39b is small, and when the front frame 4 is opened and closed, the cover 31 interferes with the inner bottom surface 39b at the front end portion of the concave portion 39. Never do. Therefore, both prevention of unauthorized unlocking and securing of the opening and closing operation of the front frame 4 can be achieved.

Incidentally, as one of the operations performed when inspecting and assembling the pachinko gaming machine 1 in a factory or the like, there is an operation of closing or opening the glass frame 6. At this time,
Unlocking each time using the dedicated key 17 is inferior in workability. In this case, conventionally, the unlocking operation member 22 is directly pressed down with a finger. In the present embodiment, since the cover 31 covers the unlocking operation member 22, the conventional operation cannot be performed as it is. Therefore, once open the front frame 4,
The cover 31 is separated from the recess 39 forward, and then the mechanism plate 7 is opened. Then, by rotating the extension lever 37 downward with the shaft 38 as a fulcrum, the storage position is switched from the storage position to the penetration position, and the mechanism plate 7 and the front frame 4 are sequentially closed. In the process of closing the mechanism plate 7, the extension lever 37 penetrates the elongated hole 36 and projects rearward from the cover 31. When a finger is hung on the extension lever 37 and a force is applied downward against the spring 29, the extension lever 37 moves downward along the elongated hole 36. This movement is transmitted to the unlocking operation member 22 through the overlapping transmission portions 37a and 22c, and the member 22 and the locking rod 21 move downward. All hooks 26 are receiving brackets 2
3 and the glass frame 6 can be opened. Therefore,
Conventional locking device (without cover 31)
Does not impair the convenience of the work.

This embodiment has the following features in addition to the items described above. Paying attention to the fact that the unlocking operation member 22 is located in the gap G between the outer frame 3 and the mechanism plate 7, the width of the cover 31 is made at least as large as the gap G, and the mechanism plate is formed in the side wall 35 of the cover 31. 7 fixed. Cover 3
By reducing the gap between the cover 1 and the mechanism plate 7 and the gap between the cover 31 and the outer frame 3 (including zero), the mechanism plate 7 and the outer frame 3 can be part of the cover 31 (on both left and right sides). Function. To that extent, the structure of the cover 31 can be simplified. Further, since the mechanism plate 7 is used as a fixing portion of the cover 31, no special mechanism or another member is required for fixing the cover 31.

(1) The cover 31 may be attached to a location different from the mechanism plate 7, for example, the outer frame 3, the front frame 4, or the like. FIG.
Shows an example in which the cover 31 is fixed to the outer frame 3. Although it has already been described that various fixing means can be adopted, here, the cover 40 is provided with the flange 40,
The cover 31 is fastened and fixed to the outer frame 3 by a fastening member 41 such as a wood screw penetrating the flange 40. In the case of this embodiment, the width of the cover 31 is at least as large as the gap G between the outer frame 3 and the mechanism plate 7. In this case, there is substantially no gap between the cover 31 and the outer frame 3. The gap between the cover 31 and the mechanism plate 7 is also small. Therefore, at the time of locking, in order to move the unlocking operation member 22 illegally without using the dedicated key 17, the tip of the wire or the like is moved between the cover 31 and the mechanism plate 7 or the cover 31.
And it is difficult to pass between the outer frame 3. in this way,
Since the mechanism plate 7 and the outer frame 3 function as part of the cover 31 (left and right sides), the structure of the cover 31 can be simplified accordingly. Further, since the mechanism plate 7 is used as a fixing portion of the cover 31, no special mechanism or another member is required for fixing the cover 31.

(3) The cover 31 does not necessarily have to be fixed to the mechanism plate 7 or the outer frame 3 and may be detachably attached. However, it is necessary to have a mounting structure that does not easily come off due to an unauthorized unlocking operation using a wire or the like. Further, a movable cover may be used. For example, a cover is attached by a hinge so as to be openable and closable, and when the pachinko gaming machine is installed in a pachinko hall, the cover is closed to cover the unlocking operation member, and is locked by a locking device so that it cannot be opened.
