Description

本発明は、スロットマシンやパチンコ機などに代表される遊技機に関するものである。   The present invention relates to a gaming machine represented by a slot machine, a pachinko machine, and the like.

例えばスロットマシン等の遊技機には開閉可能に構成された前面扉が設けられており、この前面扉を開放することによりスロットマシン本体内に貯留されたメダルの回収等を行い得るように構成されている。従来では、この前面扉の前面枠をプラスチック等の樹脂材料で一体成形することにより必要な強度を確保していた。   For example, a gaming machine such as a slot machine is provided with a front door that can be opened and closed. By opening the front door, a medal stored in the slot machine body can be collected. ing. Conventionally, the required strength is secured by integrally molding the front frame of the front door with a resin material such as plastic.

しかしながら、従来の遊技機では、前面扉の前面枠が一体成形されていたため、その互換性が低下するという問題点があった。即ち、例えば操作部や表示部等の用途が異なる部材も一体化されてしまうため、その一部のみが故障等した場合や一部のみを新装したい場合においても前面枠全体を交換しなければならないのである。
本発明は、上述した問題点を解決するためになされたものであり、前面枠の強度を確保しつつその構成部材の部分的な交換を可能とすることができる遊技機を提供することを目的としている。
However, in the conventional gaming machine, since the front frame of the front door is integrally formed, there is a problem that the compatibility is lowered. In other words, for example, members with different uses such as the operation unit and the display unit are integrated, so even when only a part of them breaks down or only a part of them needs to be newly installed, the entire front frame must be replaced. It is.
The present invention has been made to solve the above-described problems, and an object of the present invention is to provide a gaming machine capable of partially replacing its constituent members while ensuring the strength of the front frame. It is said.

この目的を達成するために請求項1記載の遊技機は、開閉可能に構成された前面扉を有するものであり、前記前面扉は、複数の部材の組み合わせにより構成されると共に、その複数の部材のうちの少なくとも2以上の部材間にまたがりつつその2以上の部材を支持する支持部材を備えている。   In order to achieve this object, the gaming machine according to claim 1 has a front door configured to be openable and closable, and the front door is configured by a combination of a plurality of members and the plurality of members. A support member that supports the two or more members while straddling between at least two of the members.

請求項1記載の遊技機によれば、前面扉は複数の部材の組み合わせにより構成されているので、前面扉を各部材毎に分割することができるという効果がある。よって、従来の遊技機のように、前面扉を全体で1の部品として交換等する必要がなく、必要な部材のみを前面扉から分離して交換等することができるので、前面扉の互換性を向上させることができる。
更に、前面扉は、複数の部材を支持する支持部材を備えている。この支持部材は、少なくとも2以上の部材間にまたがりつつその部材を支持するように構成されているので、各部材の剛性を補強しつつ強固に支持することができる。よって、強固に支持された複数の部材を組み合わせて前面扉を構成することができるので、前面扉全体としての剛性を向上させることができるという効果がある。
According to the gaming machine of the first aspect, since the front door is constituted by a combination of a plurality of members, there is an effect that the front door can be divided for each member. Therefore, it is not necessary to replace the front door as a single component as in the conventional gaming machine, and only necessary members can be separated from the front door for replacement. Can be improved.
Furthermore, the front door includes a support member that supports a plurality of members. Since the support member is configured to support the member while straddling at least two or more members, the support member can be firmly supported while reinforcing the rigidity of each member. Therefore, since the front door can be configured by combining a plurality of members that are firmly supported, there is an effect that the rigidity of the entire front door can be improved.

The front door 3 is provided with a locking device 9, and the main body 2 and the front door 3 can be locked in the state shown in FIG. 1 by the locking device 9.

前面扉3は前面枠4によりその外形が形成されており、前面枠4は、後述するように、枠部材視認部4aと枠部材操作部4bと枠部材貯留部4cとに3分割されて構成されている(図3参照)。前面扉3の上段部(前面枠4の枠部材視認部4a)には、図1に示すように、遊技の進行に伴って点灯・点滅する上部ランプ11、遊技の進行に伴って種々の効果音等を発生するスピーカ12,12、各種表示内容を表示する液晶ディスプレイ13、左回胴Lと中回胴Mと右回胴Rとをそれぞれ透視可能な露出窓14L,14M,14R、メダルのベット数に応じて点灯する5つのベットランプ15,16,16,17,17、クレジット数表示部18、ゲーム数表示部19、払出枚数表示部20などが設けられている。   The front door 3 has an outer shape formed by a front frame 4. The front frame 4 is divided into a frame member visualizing part 4a, a frame member operation part 4b, and a frame member storage part 4c, as will be described later. (See FIG. 3). As shown in FIG. 1, an upper lamp 11 that is lit and blinks as the game progresses, and various effects as the game progresses, are provided on the upper stage of the front door 3 (the frame member visual recognition part 4a of the front frame 4). Speakers 12 and 12 that generate sound, a liquid crystal display 13 that displays various display contents, exposure windows 14L, 14M, and 14R that can be seen through the left cylinder L, the middle cylinder M, and the right cylinder R, respectively, Five bet lamps 15, 16, 16, 17, 17 that are turned on according to the number of bets, a credit number display unit 18, a game number display unit 19, a payout number display unit 20, and the like are provided.

Further, as shown in FIG. 1, a medal tray 33 that receives and stores medals paid out from the medal payout opening 32, and a cigarette tray, are provided in the lower part of the front door 3 (the frame member storage part 4 c of the front frame 4). An ashtray 34 or the like for storing butts is provided.

次に、図3から図5を参照して前面扉3の構成について説明する。図3は、前面扉3の分解斜視図である。なお、図3では、理解を容易とするために、前面扉3を構成する主要な部材にのみ符号を付し、また、施錠装置9やねじ等の種々の部品の図示を省略している。   Next, the configuration of the front door 3 will be described with reference to FIGS. FIG. 3 is an exploded perspective view of the front door 3. In FIG. 3, for easy understanding, reference numerals are given only to main members constituting the front door 3, and various components such as the locking device 9 and screws are not shown.

前面扉3は、主に、アクリル等の樹脂材料を使用した射出成形により成形される前面枠4と、ステンレス等の金属材料により構成される支持部材5,5及び補助部材6,6との組み合わせにより構成されている。前面枠4は、図3に示すように、液晶ディスプレイ13などが配設され前面枠4の上段部を構成する枠部材視認部4aと、各種ボタン21〜28などが配設され前面枠4の中段部を構成する枠部材操作部4bと、灰皿34などが配設され前面枠4の下段部を構成する枠部材貯留部4cとに3分割されており、前面枠4を各部材4a〜4c毎に分解可能に構成されている。よって、前面枠4の例えば枠部材操作部4bが遊技者の乱暴な操作等により破損等した場合には、その破損した枠部材操作部4bのみを部分的に交換することができる。従って、従来の遊技機のように、前面枠4全体を1の部品として交換する必要がなく、必要な箇所のみを選択して部分的に交換することができるので、その分だけ材料コストを低減することができ、また、前面枠4の互換性を向上させることができる。   The front door 3 is a combination of a front frame 4 formed by injection molding using a resin material such as acrylic, and support members 5 and 5 and auxiliary members 6 and 6 made of a metal material such as stainless steel. It is comprised by. As shown in FIG. 3, the front frame 4 is provided with a liquid crystal display 13 and the like, a frame member visual recognition part 4 a constituting the upper part of the front frame 4, various buttons 21 to 28, and the like. The frame member operation part 4b that constitutes the middle part and the frame member storage part 4c that comprises the ashtray 34 and constitutes the lower part of the front frame 4 are divided into three parts. The front frame 4 is divided into the members 4a to 4c. Each is configured to be disassembled. Therefore, when, for example, the frame member operation unit 4b of the front frame 4 is damaged by a player's rough operation or the like, only the damaged frame member operation unit 4b can be partially replaced. Therefore, unlike the conventional gaming machine, it is not necessary to replace the entire front frame 4 as one component, and only necessary portions can be selected and replaced partially, thereby reducing the material cost accordingly. In addition, the compatibility of the front frame 4 can be improved.

支持部材5,5は、前面枠4の3つの部材4a〜4c間にまたがりつつこれら各部材4a〜4cを連結して支持するための部材であり、前面枠4(各部材4a〜4c)の裏面側の左右縁端部にねじ等により螺合される。よって、この支持部材5,5により連結され支持された前面枠4は、支持部材5,5が重畳される分だけ各部材4a〜4cの剛性を補強することができるので、前面枠4全体としての剛性を向上させ、その分、前面扉3全体としての剛性を向上させることができる。   The support members 5 and 5 are members for connecting and supporting these members 4a to 4c while straddling between the three members 4a to 4c of the front frame 4, and are provided for the front frame 4 (each member 4a to 4c). Screwed into the left and right edge ends on the back side with screws or the like. Therefore, the front frame 4 connected and supported by the support members 5 and 5 can reinforce the rigidity of the members 4a to 4c by the amount of the support members 5 and 5 overlapped. The rigidity of the front door 3 as a whole can be improved accordingly.

また、支持部材5,5は、断面略L字状の平板状体から構成されており、その支持部材5,5の前面部と各部材4a〜4cの裏面部とが面で接触するように構成されている。よって、支持部材5,5は、面接触により各部材4a〜4cをがたつくことなく強固に支持することができるので、前面扉3全体としての剛性をより一層向上させることができる。   Moreover, the supporting members 5 and 5 are comprised from the flat-plate body of cross-sectional substantially L shape, and the front surface part of the supporting members 5 and 5 and the back surface part of each member 4a-4c contact so that a surface. It is configured. Therefore, since the support members 5 and 5 can support each member 4a-4c firmly by surface contact, without looseness, the rigidity as the front door 3 whole can be improved further.

補助部材6,6は、上述した支持部材5,5の上下端を連結して補強するための部材であり、横長の平板状体に構成されている。この補助部材6,6の連結により、支持部材5,5を正面視略額縁状に構成することができるので、かかる支持部材5,5(補助部材6,6)に支持された前面枠4の剛性を曲げ方向だけでなくねじり方向においても向上させることができる。よって、最小限の部品点数の増加で支持部材5,5の強度を確保すると共に前面枠4としての構造を最適化することができ、その結果、前面扉3全体としての剛性を向上させることができる。   The auxiliary members 6 and 6 are members for connecting and reinforcing the upper and lower ends of the support members 5 and 5 described above, and are configured as horizontally long flat plates. By connecting the auxiliary members 6 and 6, the support members 5 and 5 can be configured in a frame shape when viewed from the front, and therefore the front frame 4 supported by the support members 5 and 5 (auxiliary members 6 and 6). The rigidity can be improved not only in the bending direction but also in the twisting direction. Therefore, the strength of the support members 5 and 5 can be secured with the minimum increase in the number of parts and the structure as the front frame 4 can be optimized. As a result, the rigidity of the entire front door 3 can be improved. it can.

また、この補助部材6,6は、ねじ等の使用により支持部材5,5と着脱自在に連結されている。よって、支持部材5,5を正面視額縁状の枠体に構成するに際しては、かかる補助部材6,6を支持部材5,5の上下端に取り付ける(連結する)だけで額縁状の枠体を容易に形成することができるので、額縁状に形成するための複雑な加工を施す必要がなく、枠体の製造を簡素化することができる。従って、前面扉3(前面枠4)の製造コストを低減して、その分、スロットマシン1全体としての製造コストを低減することができる。更に、補助部材6,6を支持部材5,5から取り外すことができるので、額縁状に構成された枠体を各部材(即ち、左右の2つの支持部材5,5と上下の2つの補助部材6,6)毎に分解することができる。よって、例えば、前面扉3の不用意な開閉操作等により枠体の1の部材に歪み等が発生した場合には、枠体全体を交換等することなく歪みの発生した部材(例えば、支持部材5或いは補助部材6)のみを部分的に交換等することができるので、その分、材料コストを低減することができる。   The auxiliary members 6 and 6 are detachably connected to the support members 5 and 5 by using screws or the like. Therefore, when the support members 5 and 5 are configured as a frame with a frame shape when viewed from the front, the frame frame with the auxiliary members 6 and 6 is simply attached (connected) to the upper and lower ends of the support members 5 and 5. Since it can form easily, it is not necessary to perform the complicated process for forming in a frame shape, and manufacture of a frame can be simplified. Therefore, the manufacturing cost of the front door 3 (front frame 4) can be reduced, and the manufacturing cost of the slot machine 1 as a whole can be reduced accordingly. Further, since the auxiliary members 6 and 6 can be detached from the support members 5 and 5, the frame body configured in a frame shape is used for each member (that is, the two left and right support members 5 and 5 and the two upper and lower auxiliary members. It can be decomposed every 6,6). Therefore, for example, when distortion or the like occurs in one member of the frame body due to an inadvertent opening / closing operation or the like of the front door 3, a member (for example, a support member) in which distortion occurs without replacing the entire frame body Since only 5 or the auxiliary member 6) can be partially exchanged, the material cost can be reduced accordingly.

次いで、支持部材5による前面枠4の支持方法について説明する。図4は、図3の矢印IV方向から見た前面枠4の側面図であり、前面枠4が支持部材5により支持される前の状態を示している。なお、図4では、前面枠4の各部材4a〜4c及び支持部材5の一部を省略して図示すると共に、部分的に断面視して図示している。また、図中の一点鎖線は、前面枠4と支持部材5とを螺合するねじ(図示せず)の螺入経路を示している。   Next, a method for supporting the front frame 4 by the support member 5 will be described. FIG. 4 is a side view of the front frame 4 viewed from the direction of arrow IV in FIG. 3 and shows a state before the front frame 4 is supported by the support member 5. In FIG. 4, the members 4 a to 4 c of the front frame 4 and a part of the support member 5 are omitted from the illustration and partially shown in a cross-sectional view. Moreover, the dashed-dotted line in the figure has shown the screwing path | route of the screw (not shown) which screws the front frame 4 and the supporting member 5 together.

なお、前面枠4の枠部材視認部4aには、連結突片77と係止突片78とが隣接する枠部材操作部4bと対向する側(図4下側)に設けられており、枠部材操作部4bには、その連結突片77と係止突片78とにそれぞれ対応する位置に嵌合穴75と係止受部76とが設けられている。枠部材視認部4aの連結突片77は、枠部材視認部4aと枠部材操作部4bとを連結させるための部材であり、枠部材操作部4bに穿設された嵌合穴75と嵌合可能に構成されている。また、枠部材視認部4aの係止突片78は、支持部材5に支持された枠部材操作部4bを取り外し不可能に係止するための部材であり、枠部材操作部4bに立設された係止受部76に当接し係止可能に構成されている。同様に、前面枠4の枠部材操作部4bには、枠部材貯留部4cに穿設された嵌合穴71に挿通され嵌合する連結突片73と、枠部材貯留部4cに立設された係止受部72を係止する係止突片74とが枠部材貯留部4cと対向する側(図4下側)に設けられている。   The frame member visual recognition part 4a of the front frame 4 is provided with a connecting projection piece 77 and a locking projection piece 78 on the side facing the adjacent frame member operation unit 4b (lower side in FIG. 4). The member operating portion 4b is provided with a fitting hole 75 and a locking receiving portion 76 at positions corresponding to the connecting protruding piece 77 and the locking protruding piece 78, respectively. The connection protrusion 77 of the frame member visual recognition part 4a is a member for connecting the frame member visual recognition part 4a and the frame member operation part 4b, and is engaged with the fitting hole 75 formed in the frame member operation part 4b. It is configured to be possible. The locking protrusion 78 of the frame member visual recognition part 4a is a member for detachably locking the frame member operation part 4b supported by the support member 5, and is erected on the frame member operation part 4b. It is configured to be able to abut and engage with the latch receiving portion 76. Similarly, the frame member operation portion 4b of the front frame 4 is erected on the frame member storage portion 4c and a connecting protrusion 73 that is inserted into and fitted into a fitting hole 71 formed in the frame member storage portion 4c. A locking protrusion 74 that locks the locking receiving portion 72 is provided on the side facing the frame member storage portion 4c (the lower side in FIG. 4).

支持部材5により前面枠4を支持するに際しては、まず、前面枠4の枠部材貯留部4cの裏面側(図4右側)を支持部材5の前面側(図4左側)に当接する。次に、枠部材操作部4bの下面側(図4下側)を枠部材貯留部4cの上面側(図4上側)に突き当てることにより、係止突片74を係止受部72に当接させる。そして、支持部材5のねじ穴81からねじ(図示せず)を挿通し、かかるねじを枠部材貯留部4cのねじ穴82と枠部材操作部4bのねじ穴83とに順次螺入する。これにより、枠部材貯留部4cが枠部材操作部4b(係止突片74)により取り外し不可能に係止されつつ支持部材5により支持される。   When the front frame 4 is supported by the support member 5, first, the back side (the right side in FIG. 4) of the frame member storage portion 4 c of the front frame 4 is brought into contact with the front side (the left side in FIG. 4). Next, the lower surface side (lower side in FIG. 4) of the frame member operating portion 4b is abutted against the upper surface side (upper side in FIG. 4) of the frame member storage portion 4c, so that the locking protrusion 74 is brought into contact with the locking receiving portion 72. Make contact. Then, a screw (not shown) is inserted through the screw hole 81 of the support member 5, and the screw is sequentially screwed into the screw hole 82 of the frame member storage part 4c and the screw hole 83 of the frame member operation part 4b. As a result, the frame member storage portion 4c is supported by the support member 5 while being detachably locked by the frame member operation portion 4b (locking protrusion 74).

次いで、枠部材視認部4aの下面側(図4下側)を枠部材操作部4bの上面側(図4上側)に突き当てることにより、係止突片78を係止受部76に当接させる。そして、支持部材5のねじ穴84からねじ(図示せず)を挿通し、かかるねじを枠部材操作部4bのねじ穴85と枠部材視認部4aのねじ穴85とに順次螺入する。これにより、枠部材操作部4bが枠部材視認部4a(係止突片78)により取り外し不可能に係止されつつ支持部材5により支持される。   Next, the lower surface side (lower side in FIG. 4) of the frame member visual recognition portion 4a is abutted against the upper surface side (upper side in FIG. 4) of the frame member operating portion 4b, thereby bringing the locking protrusion 78 into contact with the locking receiving portion 76. Let Then, a screw (not shown) is inserted through the screw hole 84 of the support member 5, and the screw is sequentially screwed into the screw hole 85 of the frame member operating portion 4b and the screw hole 85 of the frame member visualizing portion 4a. Thereby, the frame member operation part 4b is supported by the support member 5 while being detachably locked by the frame member visual recognition part 4a (locking protrusion 78).

最後に、支持部材5の上方(図4上側)に設けられたねじ穴(図示せず)から挿通したねじにより枠部材視認部4aを螺合することにより、枠部材視認部4aが支持部材5により支持される。その結果、1の部材(例えば、枠部材操作部4B)を支持部材5から取り外すには、その1の部材を係合する他の部材(枠部材視認部4a)が取り外された場合に可能となる。よって、各部材が支持部材5から不用意に脱落することを防止することができ、各部材の支持状態を強固に維持することができる。   Finally, the frame member visual recognition part 4a is screwed into the support member 5 by screwing the frame member visual recognition part 4a with a screw inserted from a screw hole (not shown) provided above the support member 5 (upper side in FIG. 4). Is supported by As a result, it is possible to remove one member (for example, the frame member operation portion 4B) from the support member 5 when another member (frame member visual recognition portion 4a) that engages the one member is removed. Become. Therefore, each member can be prevented from inadvertently dropping from the support member 5, and the support state of each member can be maintained firmly.

以上のように、支持部材5は、前面枠4の3つの部材4a〜4c間にまたがりつつその各部材4a〜4cを支持可能に構成されているので、各部材4a〜4cの剛性を補強しつつ強固に支持することができ、その結果、前面枠4全体としての剛性を向上させることができる。   As described above, the support member 5 is configured to be able to support the members 4a to 4c while straddling the three members 4a to 4c of the front frame 4, so that the rigidity of the members 4a to 4c is reinforced. As a result, the rigidity of the entire front frame 4 can be improved.

また、前面枠4の各部材4a〜4cは、支持部材5に支持された状態において、連結突片73,77と嵌合穴71,75とが嵌合して連結される。そのため、かかる各部材4a〜4cは、その部材間にまたがる支持部材5によりその剛性が補強されるだけでなく、連結突片73,77と嵌合穴71,75との嵌合により隣接する部材とがたつくことなく強固に連結される。よって、前面枠4全体としての剛性を向上させることができ、その分、前面扉3全体としての剛性をより一層向上させることができる。   In addition, the members 4 a to 4 c of the front frame 4 are connected to each other by connecting the connecting protrusions 73 and 77 and the fitting holes 71 and 75 in a state of being supported by the support member 5. Therefore, each of the members 4a to 4c is not only reinforced in rigidity by the support member 5 extending between the members, but also adjacent members by fitting the connecting protrusions 73 and 77 with the fitting holes 71 and 75. It is firmly connected without rattling. Therefore, the rigidity of the entire front frame 4 can be improved, and the rigidity of the entire front door 3 can be further improved accordingly.

ここで、図5を参照して、前面枠4と支持部材5との当接状態について説明する。図5は、図4のV−V線における断面図である。なお、図中では、理解を容易とするために、枠部材操作部4bの係止突片74と枠部材貯留部4cの係止受部72とを破線を使用して模式的に図示している。   Here, the contact state between the front frame 4 and the support member 5 will be described with reference to FIG. 5 is a cross-sectional view taken along line VV in FIG. In the drawing, for easy understanding, the locking protrusion 74 of the frame member operation portion 4b and the locking receiving portion 72 of the frame member storage portion 4c are schematically illustrated using broken lines. Yes.

枠部材操作部4bの側壁は、図5に示すように、屈曲して形成されており、側壁の内面側には、かかる屈曲によって2つの当接面部91,92が形成されている。この当接面部91,92は、支持部材5の後述する支持面部93,94に当接される部位であり、平らな平面状に構成されている。一方、支持部材5は、図5に示すように、断面L字状に形成されており、その外面側には、上述した枠部材操作部4bの当接面部91,92に当接される2つの支持面部93,94が形成されている。この支持面部93,94は、当接面部91,92に対応した平面状に構成されている。   As shown in FIG. 5, the side wall of the frame member operation portion 4b is bent, and two contact surface portions 91 and 92 are formed on the inner surface side of the side wall by such bending. The contact surface portions 91 and 92 are portions that are in contact with support surface portions 93 and 94 (to be described later) of the support member 5, and are configured to be flat and flat. On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 5, the support member 5 is formed in an L-shaped cross section, and the outer surface side of the support member 5 comes into contact with the contact surface portions 91 and 92 of the frame member operation portion 4 b described above. Two support surface portions 93 and 94 are formed. The support surface portions 93 and 94 are formed in a planar shape corresponding to the contact surface portions 91 and 92.

よって、支持部材5のねじ穴81から挿通されたねじ(図示せず)により枠部材貯留部4cのねじ穴82と枠部材操作部4bのねじ穴83とを順次螺合することにより、支持部材5の支持面部93,94と枠部材操作部4bの当接面部91,92とをそれぞれ面で接触させることができる。従って、支持部材5は、枠部材操作部4bに面で当接してがたつくことなく強固に支持することができ、その結果、前面扉4全体としての剛性をより一層向上させることができる。   Therefore, the screw (not shown) inserted from the screw hole 81 of the support member 5 is screwed into the screw hole 82 of the frame member storage portion 4c and the screw hole 83 of the frame member operation portion 4b in sequence, thereby supporting the support member. 5 support surface portions 93 and 94 and the contact surface portions 91 and 92 of the frame member operation portion 4b can be brought into contact with each other. Therefore, the support member 5 can firmly support the frame member operating portion 4b without coming into contact with the surface, and as a result, the rigidity of the front door 4 as a whole can be further improved.

なお、枠部材操作部4bの反対側の側壁(図4紙面奥側)も同様に2面が支持部材5へ当接可能に構成されており、また、他の部材(枠部材視認部4a及び枠部材貯留部4c)も同様に左右の両側壁がそれぞれ2面で支持部材5へ当接可能に構成されているので、前面枠4の各部材4a〜4cと支持部材5とをより一層強固にがたつくことなく連結することができる。   Similarly, the opposite side wall of the frame member operation portion 4b (the back side in FIG. 4) is configured to be able to contact the support member 5, and other members (the frame member visual recognition portion 4a and the frame member operation portion 4b). Similarly, the left and right side walls of the frame member storage portion 4c) are configured to be able to contact the support member 5 on two sides, so that the members 4a to 4c and the support member 5 of the front frame 4 are further strengthened. It can be connected without rattling.

次に、図6及び図7を参照して第2実施例における前面枠104について説明する。第1実施例の前面枠4は、下段の枠部材貯留部4cが中段の枠部材操作部4bにより係止され、その中段の枠部材操作部4bが上段の枠部材視認部4aにより係止された。そのため、下段の枠部材貯留部4cを支持部材5から取り外すためには、中段及び上段の2つの部材4b,4cをそれぞれ取り外すという2つの作業が必要があった。   Next, the front frame 104 in the second embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. In the front frame 4 of the first embodiment, the lower frame member storing portion 4c is locked by the middle frame member operating portion 4b, and the middle frame member operating portion 4b is locked by the upper frame member visualizing portion 4a.

FIG. 7 is a front view of the front frame 104 viewed from the direction of arrow VII in FIG. 6 and 7, the members 104 a to 104 c of the front frame 104 and a part of the support member 5 are omitted from the illustration and partially shown in a cross-sectional view. In addition, a one-dot chain line in the drawing indicates a screwing path of a screw (not shown) for screwing the members 104 a to 104 c of the front frame 104 and the support member 5.

前面枠104の枠部材視認部4aには、連結突片111と係止受部112とが枠部材操作部104bと対向する下面側(図6下側)に設けられており、同様に、枠部材貯留部104cには、連結突片113と係止受部114とが枠部材操作部104bと対向する上面側(図6上側)に設けられている。枠部材視認部104aの連結突片111は、枠部材視認部104aと枠部材操作部104bとの連結部のがたつきを防止するための部材であり、枠部材操作部104bの上面側(図6上側)に立設された連結壁115に当接可能に構成されている。同様に、枠部材貯留部104cの連結突片113は、枠部材操作部104bの下面側(図6下側)に立設された連結壁117に当接可能に構成されている。   The frame member visual recognition part 4a of the front frame 104 is provided with a connecting projection piece 111 and a locking receiving part 112 on the lower surface side (lower side in FIG. 6) facing the frame member operation part 104b. In the member storage portion 104c, a connecting protrusion 113 and a locking receiving portion 114 are provided on the upper surface (upper side in FIG. 6) facing the frame member operation portion 104b. The connection protrusion 111 of the frame member visual recognition part 104a is a member for preventing rattling of the connection part between the frame member visual recognition part 104a and the frame member operation part 104b. 6 is configured to be able to abut on a connecting wall 115 standing on the upper side. Similarly, the connection protrusion 113 of the frame member storage portion 104c is configured to be able to abut on a connection wall 117 erected on the lower surface side (lower side in FIG. 6) of the frame member operation portion 104b.

また、枠部材視認部104aの係止受部112は、枠部材操作部4bに立設された係止突片116に当接され係止される部位であり、かかる係止突片116による係止によって、枠部材視認部104aは支持部材5に取り外し不可能に支持される。同様に、枠部材貯留部104cは、その係止受部114が枠部材操作部104bの係止突片116により係止されることにより、支持部材5に取り外し不可能に支持される。   Further, the latch receiving portion 112 of the frame member visual recognition portion 104a is a portion that is brought into contact with and latched with the latching projection piece 116 standing on the frame member operation portion 4b. By stopping, the frame member visual recognition part 104a is supported by the support member 5 so as not to be removed. Similarly, the frame member storage portion 104c is supported by the support member 5 in a non-removable manner by the locking receiving portion 114 being locked by the locking protrusions 116 of the frame member operation portion 104b.

枠部材操作部104bには、図6に示すように、上述した連結突片111,113と当接可能に構成された連結壁115,117と、上述した係止受部112,114を係止可能に構成された係止突片116,118とが上面及び下面側(図6上側及び下側)に設けられている。   As shown in FIG. 6, the frame member operation portion 104 b is engaged with the connection walls 115 and 117 configured to be able to contact the connection protrusions 111 and 113 and the lock receiving portions 112 and 114 described above. Locking protrusions 116 and 118 that can be configured are provided on the upper and lower surfaces (upper and lower sides in FIG. 6).

ここで、 支持部材5により前面枠104を支持する支持方法について説明する。前面枠104を支持部材5により支持するに際しては、まず、枠部材視認部104a及び枠部材貯留部4cの裏面側(図6右側)を支持部材5の前面側(図6左側)に当接し、支持部材5の上方(図6上側)及び下方(図6下側)に設けられたねじ穴(図示せず)から挿通したねじにより枠部材視認部104a及び枠部材貯留部104cを支持部材5に螺合する。   Here, a support method for supporting the front frame 104 by the support member 5 will be described. When the front frame 104 is supported by the support member 5, first, the back side (the right side in FIG. 6) of the frame member visual recognition part 104 a and the frame member storage part 4 c is brought into contact with the front side (the left side in FIG. 6). The frame member visual recognition part 104a and the frame member storage part 104c are made to the support member 5 by screws inserted from screw holes (not shown) provided above (upper side in FIG. 6) and below (lower side in FIG. 6) of the support member 5. Screw together.

次いで、枠部材操作部104bを支持部材5に支持させる。まず、枠部材操作部104bの裏面側を、図6に示すように、支持部材5の前面側に向けて配置し、かかる枠部材操作部104bを支持部材5(図6右方向)へ向かって押し込む。これにより、図7に示すように、枠部材視認部104aの係止受部112が枠部材操作部104bの係止突片116と支持部材5との間に挟持され、同様に、枠部材貯留部104cの係止受部105も枠部材操作部104bの係止突片118と支持部材5との間に挟持される。その結果、枠部材視認部104aと枠部材貯留部4cとが枠部材操作部104b(係止突片116,118)により取り外し不可能に係止される。   Next, the frame member operation unit 104 b is supported by the support member 5. First, as shown in FIG. 6, the rear surface side of the frame member operation unit 104b is arranged toward the front surface side of the support member 5, and the frame member operation unit 104b is directed toward the support member 5 (right direction in FIG. 6).

Thereby, as shown in FIG. 7, the latch receiving part 112 of the frame member visual recognition part 104a is pinched | interposed between the latching protrusion piece 116 of the frame member operation part 104b, and the support member 5, and similarly frame member storage is carried out. The locking receiving portion 105 of the portion 104 c is also sandwiched between the locking protrusion 118 of the frame member operation portion 104 b and the support member 5. As a result, the frame member visual recognition part 104a and the frame member storage part 4c are locked by the frame member operation part 104b (locking protrusions 116 and 118) in a non-removable manner.

最後に、支持部材5のねじ穴101,104からねじ(図示せず)を挿通し、かかるねじを枠部材視認部104a及び枠部材貯留部4cのねじ穴102,105と枠部材操作部4bのねじ穴103,106とに順次螺入する。これにより、各部材104a〜104cを支持部材5により支持することができる。   Finally, screws (not shown) are inserted through the screw holes 101 and 104 of the support member 5, and the screws are inserted into the screw holes 102 and 105 of the frame member visual recognition part 104a and the frame member storage part 4c and the frame member operation part 4b. The screw holes 103 and 106 are sequentially screwed. Thereby, each member 104a-104c can be supported by the support member 5. FIG.

また、枠部材視認部104aの連結突片111は、図7に示すように、枠部材操作部104bの連結壁115の内面側に当接されるので、枠部材視認部104aと枠部材操作部104bとは、連結突片111と連結壁115との当接により互いにがたつくことなく強固に連結される。よって、前面枠104全体としての剛性をより一層向上させることができる。なお、枠部材貯留部104cの連結突片113も同様に枠部材操作部104bの連結壁117の内面側に当接され、また、各部材104a〜104cの反対側の側壁(図6紙面奥側)にも同様に連結突片と連結壁とが当接可能に配設されている。   Further, as shown in FIG. 7, the connecting protrusion 111 of the frame member visual recognition part 104a is in contact with the inner surface side of the connection wall 115 of the frame member operation part 104b, so that the frame member visual recognition part 104a and the frame member operation part 104b is firmly connected to each other without shaking due to the contact between the connecting protrusion 111 and the connecting wall 115. Therefore, the rigidity of the entire front frame 104 can be further improved. Similarly, the connecting protrusion 113 of the frame member storage section 104c is also brought into contact with the inner surface side of the connecting wall 117 of the frame member operation section 104b, and the opposite side walls of the members 104a to 104c (the back side in FIG. 6). Similarly, the connecting projection piece and the connecting wall are arranged so as to be able to contact each other.

That is, in addition to a slot machine, the present invention may be applied to various gaming machines such as a pachinko machine, alepatchi, sparrow ball, a gaming machine in which a so-called pachinko machine and a slot machine are integrated.

この場合、パチンコ機の基本構成としては、操作ハンドルを備えておりそのハンドル操作に応じて遊技球を所定の遊技領域に発射させ、遊技球が遊技領域内の所定の位置に配置された作動口に入賞することを必要条件として表示手段における識別要素の変動表示が開始すること、また、特別遊技状態発生中には遊技領域内の所定の位置に配置された入賞口が所定の態様で開放されて遊技球を入賞可能として、その入賞個数に応じた有価価値(景品球のみならず、磁気カードへの書き込み等も含む)が付与されること等が挙げられる。なお、こうしたパチンコ機には、少なくとも多数個の遊技球を取得できる遊技者に有利な状態である特別遊技状態(大当り状態)と、遊技球を消費する遊技者に不利な状態である通常遊技状態とが存在するものとすることもできる。   In this case, the basic configuration of the pachinko machine is provided with an operation handle, and in response to the operation of the handle, a game ball is fired into a predetermined game area, and the operation hole is arranged at a predetermined position in the game area. The display of the identification element on the display means starts as a necessary condition for winning a prize, and the winning opening arranged at a predetermined position in the gaming area is opened in a predetermined manner during the occurrence of a special gaming state. In other words, a game ball can be won, and a valuable value (including not only a prize ball but also writing to a magnetic card) is given according to the number of winning balls. These pachinko machines have a special game state (big hit state) that is advantageous to a player who can acquire at least a large number of game balls, and a normal game state that is disadvantageous to a player who consumes game balls. Can also be present.

また、パチンコ機とスロットマシンとが融合した遊技機の具体例としては、複数の図柄からなる図柄列を変動表示した後に図柄を確定表示する可変表示手段を備えており、球打出用のハンドルを備えていないものが挙げられる。この場合、所定の操作(ボタン操作)に基づく所定量の球の投入の後、例えば操作レバーの操作に起因して図柄の変動が開始され、例えばストップボタンの操作に起因して、或いは、所定時間経過することにより、図柄の変動が停止され、その停止時の確定図柄がいわゆる大当たり図柄であることを必要条件として遊技者に有利な大当たり状態が発生させられ、遊技者には、下部の受皿に多量の球が払い出されるものである。   In addition, as a specific example of a gaming machine in which a pachinko machine and a slot machine are integrated, a variable display means for displaying a symbol after a symbol string composed of a plurality of symbols is displayed, and a handle for launching a ball is provided.

In this case, after throwing a predetermined amount of spheres based on a predetermined operation (button operation), for example, the change of the symbol is started due to the operation of the operation lever, for example, due to the operation of the stop button, or With the passage of time, the fluctuation of the symbol is stopped, and a jackpot state advantageous to the player is generated on the condition that the confirmed symbol at the time of stoppage is a so-called jackpot symbol. A lot of balls are paid out.

以下に本発明の変形例を示す。請求項1記載の遊技機において、前記前面扉を構成する複数の部材であって前記支持部材に支持される少なくとも2以上の部材は、前記支持部材が当接され略面状に形成される当接面部を備えると共に、前記支持部材は、前記部材の当接面部に対応して略面状に形成された支持面部を備えており、前記支持部材が前記少なくとも2以上の部材間にまたがりつつその支持面部を各部材の当接面部に当接させることにより前記2以上の部材が支持されるように構成されていることを特徴とする遊技機1。なお、「略面状」には、平らな平面の他に、曲面や球面、或いは、これらを組み合わして構成される波形面などが含まれる。   The modification of this invention is shown below. 2. The gaming machine according to claim 1, wherein at least two members constituting the front door and supported by the support member are formed in a substantially planar shape by contacting the support member. The support member includes a support surface portion formed in a substantially planar shape corresponding to the contact surface portion of the member, and the support member spans between the at least two members. The gaming machine 1 is configured such that the two or more members are supported by bringing the support surface portion into contact with the contact surface portion of each member. Note that “substantially planar” includes not only a flat surface but also a curved surface, a spherical surface, or a corrugated surface formed by combining these.

遊技機1によれば、支持部材は、その支持面部を当接させつつ少なくとも2以上の部材間にまたがりその2以上の部材を支持するように構成されている。よって、支持部材が重畳される分だけ各部材の剛性を補強することができるので、かかる支部部材により支持された各部材の剛性が向上され、その分、前面扉全体としての剛性を向上させることができる。   According to the gaming machine 1, the support member is configured to support the two or more members across at least two or more members while abutting the support surface portion. Therefore, since the rigidity of each member can be reinforced by the amount of the support member superimposed, the rigidity of each member supported by the supporting member is improved, and the rigidity of the entire front door is improved accordingly. Can do.

この場合において、支持部材の支持面部は、その支持面部が当接される各部材の当接面部の形状に対応した略面状に形成されている。よって、支持部材の支持面部と各部材の当接面部とを面で接触させることができるので、各部材を支持部材によってがたつくことなく強固に支持することができる。従って、強固に支持された複数の部材を組み合わせて前面扉を構成することができるので、前面扉全体としての剛性をより一層向上させることができる。   In this case, the support surface portion of the support member is formed in a substantially planar shape corresponding to the shape of the contact surface portion of each member with which the support surface portion abuts. Therefore, since the support surface portion of the support member and the contact surface portion of each member can be brought into contact with each other, each member can be firmly supported without being shaken by the support member. Therefore, since the front door can be configured by combining a plurality of members that are firmly supported, the rigidity of the entire front door can be further improved.

なお、上記各実施例において、遊技機1に記載した当接面部としては当接面部91,92が、支持面部としては支持面部93,94がそれぞれ該当する。   In each of the above embodiments, the contact surface portions 91 and 92 correspond to the contact surface portions described in the gaming machine 1, and the support surface portions 93 and 94 correspond to the support surface portions, respectively.

請求項1記載の遊技機または遊技機1において、前記前面扉を構成する複数の部材の1つであってその前面扉の前面側外形を形成する前面枠部材を備えると共に、その前面枠部材は少なくとも2以上の部材に分割されて構成されており、その分割された少なくとも2以上の部材間にまたがる前記支持部材により前記前面枠部材が支持されるように構成されていることを特徴とする遊技機2。   The gaming machine or gaming machine according to claim 1, further comprising a front frame member that is one of a plurality of members constituting the front door and forms a front side outer shape of the front door, and the front frame member is A game characterized in that it is divided into at least two or more members, and the front frame member is supported by the support member that spans between the divided at least two or more members. Machine 2.

遊技機2によれば、前面扉の前面側外形を構成する前面枠部材は、少なくとも2以上の部材に分割されて構成されている。よって、前面枠部材が例えば遊技者の乱暴な操作等により破損、故障等した場合には、その破損、故障部位にかかる部材のみを部分的に交換することができ、また、前面枠部材の装いを新たにする場合には、装いを変更する箇所を含む部材のみを部分的に新装することができる。よって、従来の遊技機のように、前面枠部材全体を1の部品として交換や新装等する必要がなく、必要な箇所を選択して部分的に交換や新装等をすることができるので、その分だけ材料コストを低減することができると共に前面枠部材の互換性を向上させることができる。更に、この前面枠部材の分割された各部材は、その各部材間にまたがって配設された支持部材により支持されている。よって、支持部材が重畳される分だけ剛性を補強しつつ各部材を強固に支持することができるので、前面枠部材の剛性が向上して、その分、前面扉全体としての剛性を向上させることができる。その結果、各部材毎の部分的な交換や新装等を可能としつつその剛性が確保された前面扉を得ることができる。   According to the gaming machine 2, the front frame member constituting the front side outer shape of the front door is divided into at least two members. Therefore, when the front frame member is damaged or broken due to, for example, a player's rough operation, only the member on the damaged or failed part can be partially replaced. When renewing, it is possible to refurbish only the member including the part where the clothing is changed. Therefore, it is not necessary to replace or refurbish the entire front frame member as a single part as in conventional gaming machines, and it is possible to select a necessary location and partially replace or refurbish. The material cost can be reduced by that amount, and the compatibility of the front frame member can be improved. Furthermore, each divided member of the front frame member is supported by a support member disposed across the members. Therefore, each member can be firmly supported while reinforcing the rigidity by the amount of the support member superimposed, so that the rigidity of the front frame member is improved and the rigidity of the entire front door is improved accordingly. Can do. As a result, it is possible to obtain a front door in which the rigidity is ensured while enabling partial replacement or refurbishment of each member.

遊技機2において、前記前面枠部材の一部または全部は、用途が異なる部材毎に分割して構成されていることを特徴とする遊技機3。なお、「用途が異なる部材」の用途とは、その部材の使用目的及び発揮し得る機能を意味しており、従って、用途が異なる部材とは、その部材の使用目的等が他の部材の使用目的等と異なる部材をいう。よって、例えば、遊技者により操作される操作部を有する操作部用部材と、遊技者に視認される視認部を有する視認部用部材とは、用途が異なる部材である。また、前記した操作部用部材であっても、遊技のために操作される操作部(スタートレバーや各種ボタン等)を有するものと、遊技には無関係に操作される操作部(例えば、灰皿等)を有するもの、或いは、遊技のために操作される操作部と遊技には無関係に操作される操作部との両方を有するものとは、それぞれ使用目的等が異なるので「用途が異なる部材」である。視認部用部材も同様に、遊技を視認する視認部(例えば、LCDやランプ等)を有するものと、遊技の進行とは無関係に視認する視認部(例えば、機種パネルや操作方法表示部等)を有するもの等とは、「用途が異なる部材」である。   In the gaming machine 2, a part or all of the front frame member is divided and configured for each member having a different use. The usage of “members with different uses” means the purpose of use of the member and the functions that can be performed. Therefore, the purpose of use of the member with different uses is to use other members. A member different from the purpose. Therefore, for example, the operation part member having the operation part operated by the player and the visual recognition part member having the visual recognition part visually recognized by the player are members having different uses. Moreover, even if it is an above-mentioned member for operation parts, it has an operation part (a start lever, various buttons, etc.) operated for a game, and an operation part (for example, an ashtray etc.) operated irrespective of a game ) Or those having both an operation unit operated for a game and an operation unit operated regardless of a game have different usage purposes, etc. is there. Similarly, the visual recognition member has a visual recognition part (for example, LCD or lamp) for visually recognizing a game, and a visual recognition part (for example, a model panel or an operation method display part) for visual recognition regardless of the progress of the game. And the like are “members having different uses”.

遊技機3によれば、前面枠部材の一部または全部は、用途の異なる部材毎に分割して構成されているので、かかる前面枠部材を用途の異なる部材毎に交換等することができる。例えば、前面枠部材を構成する各部材が破損や故障等をする頻度は各部材毎に異なり、特に、用途の異なる部材毎に異なるものである。よって、用途の異なる部材毎に交換等することができ得れば、本来必要が無いであろう箇所までをも已むを得ず交換等する無駄が抑制され、必要な箇所(部材)のみを効率良く交換等することができる。よって、その分だけ材料コストを低減することができると共に前面枠部材のバリエーションを増加して前面扉の互換性を向上させることができる。   According to the gaming machine 3, a part or the whole of the front frame member is divided and configured for each member having a different use, so that the front frame member can be exchanged for each member having a different use. For example, the frequency with which each member constituting the front frame member is damaged or broken is different for each member, and in particular, for each member having a different application. Therefore, if it can be exchanged for each member having a different application, it is unavoidable to replace even a portion that would not be necessary originally, and the waste of replacement etc. is suppressed, and only the necessary portion (member) is It can be exchanged efficiently. Accordingly, the material cost can be reduced by that amount, and variations in the front frame member can be increased to improve the compatibility of the front door.

なお、上記各実施例において、遊技機2に記載した前面枠部材としては、前面枠4,104が該当する。   In each of the above embodiments, the front frame 4 and 104 correspond to the front frame member described in the gaming machine 2.

遊技機3において、前記前面枠部材は、遊技者により操作される操作部を有する操作部用部材と、遊技を視認する視認部を有する視認部用部材と、遊技に使用する遊技媒体を貯留する貯留部を有する貯留部用部材とに少なくとも分割されていることを特徴とする遊技機4。   In the gaming machine 3, the front frame member stores an operation unit member having an operation unit operated by a player, a visual recognition unit member having a visual recognition unit for visually recognizing a game, and a game medium used for the game. A gaming machine 4 that is at least divided into a reservoir member having a reservoir.

このように前面枠部材を分割することにより、かかる分割を無駄のない有効なものとすることができ、部材毎の部分的な交換等における利便性をより向上させることができると共に、前面枠部材のバリエーションを効率的に増加させることができ、前面扉の互換性をより向上させることができる。   By dividing the front frame member in this way, the division can be made effective and efficient, and the convenience in partial replacement for each member can be further improved, and the front frame member can be improved. Can be efficiently increased, and the compatibility of the front door can be further improved.

なお、上記各実施例において、遊技機4に記載した操作部用部材としては枠部材操作部4b,104bが、視認部用部材としては枠部材視認部4a,104aが、貯留部用部材としては枠部材貯留部4c,104cがそれぞれ該当する。   In each of the above-described embodiments, the frame member operation units 4b and 104b are used as the operation unit members described in the gaming machine 4, and the frame member viewing units 4a and 104a are used as the storage unit members. The frame member storage portions 4c and 104c correspond to the respective cases.

請求項1記載の遊技機または遊技機1から4のいずれかにおいて、前記前面扉を構成する複数の部材であって前記支持部材により支持される複数の部材の一部または全部は、その部材のうちの隣接するもの同士をそれぞれ連結する連結部を備え、その連結部により隣接するもの同士がそれぞれ連結された状態で各部材が支持部材に支持されるように構成されていることを特徴とする遊技機5。   The gaming machine according to claim 1 or any one of the gaming machines 1 to 4, wherein a part or all of the plurality of members constituting the front door and supported by the support member are It is provided with a connection part which connects each adjoining thing among them, and it is constituted so that each member may be supported by a support member in the state where adjacent things were connected by the connection part, respectively. Game machine 5.

遊技機5によれば、支持部材により支持される複数の部材は、その複数の部材のうちの隣接するもの同士が連結部により連結された状態で支持部材に支持されるように構成されている。よって、かかる複数の部材は、その複数の部材間にまたがって配設される支持部材によりその剛性が補強されるだけでなく、連結部材により隣接する部材とがたつくことなく強固に連結される。従って、これら複数の部材が連結した連結体全体としての剛性を向上させることができ、その分、前面扉全体としての剛性をより一層向上させることができる。   According to the gaming machine 5, the plurality of members supported by the support member are configured to be supported by the support member in a state where adjacent members of the plurality of members are coupled by the coupling portion. . Accordingly, the plurality of members are not only reinforced in rigidity by the support member disposed between the plurality of members, but are firmly connected to the adjacent members by the connecting member without shaking. Therefore, it is possible to improve the rigidity of the whole connecting body in which these plural members are connected, and accordingly, it is possible to further improve the rigidity of the entire front door.

なお、上記各実施例において、遊技機5に記載した連結部としては連結突片77,74,111,113及び嵌合穴71,75及び連結壁115,117のそれぞれが該当する。   In each of the above embodiments, the connecting portions described in the gaming machine 5 correspond to the connecting protrusions 77, 74, 111, 113, the fitting holes 71, 75, and the connecting walls 115, 117, respectively.

請求項1記載の遊技機または遊技機1から5のいずれかにおいて、前記前面扉を構成する複数の部材であって前記支持部材により支持される複数の部材の一部または全部は、支持部材に支持された状態において隣接する部材を係合する係合部を備えており、その係合部により係合された1の部材の支持部材からの取り外しは、その1の部材を係合部により係合している他の部材が支持部材から取り外された場合に可能となるように構成されていることを特徴とする遊技機6。   The gaming machine according to claim 1 or any one of the gaming machines 1 to 5, wherein a part or all of the plurality of members constituting the front door and supported by the support member are attached to the support member. An engagement portion that engages adjacent members in a supported state is provided, and the removal of one member engaged by the engagement portion from the support member engages the one member by the engagement portion. A gaming machine 6 characterized in that it is configured to be enabled when another member that is joined is removed from the support member.

遊技機6によれば、支持部材により支持される複数の部材は、支持部材に支持された状態において隣接する部材を係合する係合部を備えているので、複数の部材を係合部により係合させることにより、これら複数の部材の結合状態を強固に維持することができる。更に、1の部材を支持部材から取り外すには、その1の部材を係合する他の部材(隣接する部材)が取り外された場合に可能となるように構成されているので、各部材が支持部材から不用意に脱落することを防止することができ、各部材の支持状態を強固に維持することができる。その結果、これら各部材からなる連結体全体としての剛性を向上させることができ、その分、前面扉全体としての剛性をより一層向上させることができる。   According to the gaming machine 6, the plurality of members supported by the support member include the engaging portion that engages adjacent members in a state of being supported by the support member. By engaging, the combined state of these members can be maintained firmly. Further, since it is possible to remove one member from the support member when another member (adjacent member) that engages the one member is removed, each member is supported. It is possible to prevent the members from being carelessly dropped, and the support state of each member can be maintained firmly. As a result, it is possible to improve the rigidity of the entire connecting body made of these members, and accordingly, it is possible to further improve the rigidity of the entire front door.

なお、上記各実施例において、遊技機6に記載した係合部としては係止突片74,78,116,116が該当する。   In each of the above embodiments, the engaging protrusions 74, 78, 116, 116 correspond to the engaging portions described in the gaming machine 6.

遊技機6において、前記係合部を備える部材のうちで支持部材から最初に取り外すことが可能に構成される部材は、所定の用途を有する部材であることを特徴とする遊技機7。なお、「所定の用途」の用途とは、遊技機3において説明した「用途」と同義であり、従って、所定の用途を有する部材とは、例えば、操作部(例えば、操作レバーやボタン、灰皿等)を有する部材であるか否か、或いは、視認部(例えば、LCDや表示パネル、ランプ等)を有する部材であるか否か等により判断される。   In the gaming machine 6, a member configured to be able to be removed first from a support member among members having the engaging portion is a member having a predetermined use. The “predetermined use” is synonymous with the “use” described in the gaming machine 3, and the members having the predetermined use are, for example, an operation unit (for example, an operation lever, a button, an ashtray). Etc.), or whether the member has a visual recognition part (for example, LCD, display panel, lamp, etc.).

遊技機7によれば、所定の用途を有する部材が支持部材から最初に取り外すことができるように構成されているので、かかる所定の用途を有する部材を支持部材から取り外すために他の部材を取り外す必要がなく、その分だけ取り外しに必要な手間を省略することができる。よって、前面扉全体としての剛性を確保しつつも、所定の用途を有する部材の取り外し作業を簡略化してその作業コストを低減することができる。例えば、所定の用途を有する部材として破損や故障等が生じやすく交換頻度が高い部材を設定したり、装いを変更する機会が多い部材を設定することにより、これらの部材の取り外しを容易として、その作業性を向上させることができる。   According to the gaming machine 7, since the member having a predetermined use is configured to be able to be removed from the support member first, other members are removed in order to remove the member having the predetermined use from the support member. There is no need, and it is possible to save time and effort required for removal. Therefore, while ensuring the rigidity of the entire front door, it is possible to simplify the removal work of members having a predetermined application and reduce the work cost. For example, by setting a member that is likely to be damaged or broken as a member having a predetermined use and has a high exchange frequency, or by setting a member that has many opportunities to change the clothing, it is possible to easily remove these members. Workability can be improved.

遊技機6または7において、前記係合部を備える部材であってその係合部により隣接する部材を支持部材から取り外し不可能に係合する部材のうちの少なくとも1つは、少なくとも2以上の隣接する部材を同時に係合可能に構成されていることを特徴とする遊技機8。   In the gaming machine 6 or 7, at least one of the members that include the engagement portion and that detachably engages the adjacent member with the engagement portion from the support member is at least two or more adjacent members. A gaming machine 8 configured to be capable of simultaneously engaging members.

例えば、係合部を有する第1〜第3部材の3つの部材が順に隣接する部材を係合(第1部材を第2部材が係合し、その第2部材を第3部材が係合)しつつ支持部材に支持されている場合、初期に係合された第1部材を支持部材から取り外すためには、その第1部材を係合する第2部材を支持部材から取り外す必要があり、その第2部材を支持部材から取り外すためには更に第3部材を取り外す必要がある。そのため、取り外し作業が非効率的となり作業コストが嵩んでしまう。   For example, three members of the first to third members having an engaging portion are sequentially engaged with the adjacent members (the first member is engaged with the second member, and the second member is engaged with the third member). However, when supported by the support member, in order to remove the initially engaged first member from the support member, it is necessary to remove the second member engaging the first member from the support member. In order to remove the second member from the support member, it is necessary to remove the third member. Therefore, the removal work becomes inefficient and the work cost increases.

しかし、遊技機8によれば、隣接する部材を支持部材から取り外し不可能に係合する部材のうちの少なくとも1つは、少なくとも2以上の隣接する部材を同時に係合可能に構成されている。よって、2以上の隣接する部材を同時に係合可能に構成された部材を支持部材から取り外すという1の作業により、少なくとも2以上の部材を一度に支持部材から取り外し可能な状態とすることができるので、部材の取り外し作業を簡素化してその作業コストを低減することができる。例えば、上述した第1〜第3部材の3つの部材であれば、第2の部材が第1部材及び第3部材を同時に係合可能となるようにこれらを構成する。これにより、第2部材を支持部材から取り外すだけで、第1部材のみならず第3部材をも支持部材から取り外し可能な状態とすることができる。   However, according to the gaming machine 8, at least one of the members that detachably engage adjacent members from the support member is configured to be able to simultaneously engage at least two or more adjacent members. Therefore, at least two or more members can be removed from the support member at a time by one operation of removing from the support member a member configured to be able to simultaneously engage two or more adjacent members. The member removal operation can be simplified and the operation cost can be reduced. For example, if it is three members, the 1st-3rd member mentioned above, these are comprised so that a 2nd member can engage a 1st member and a 3rd member simultaneously. Thereby, only by removing the second member from the support member, not only the first member but also the third member can be made removable from the support member.

なお、上記各実施例において、遊技機8に記載した少なくとも2以上の隣接する部材を同時に係合可能に構成されている部材としては枠部材操作部104bが該当する。   In each of the above embodiments, the frame member operation unit 104b corresponds to a member configured to be able to simultaneously engage at least two or more adjacent members described in the gaming machine 8.

遊技機4から8のいずれかにおいて、前記前面枠部材を構成する部材のうちの少なくとも前記操作部用部材と視認部用部材と貯留部用部材とは左右部に配設された2つの支持部材に支持されると共に、その2つの支持部材のそれぞれが少なくとも前記操作部用部材と視認部用部材と貯留部用部材とにまたがりつつこれらの部材を支持するように構成されていることを特徴とする遊技機9。   In any one of the gaming machines 4 to 8, at least the operation part member, the visual recognition part member, and the storage part member among the members constituting the front frame member are disposed on the left and right parts. And the two support members are configured to support these members while straddling at least the operation portion member, the visual recognition portion member, and the storage portion member. A gaming machine 9 to play.

遊技機9によれば、前面枠部材を構成する操作部用部材と視認部用部材と貯留部用部材とは、これらの3つの部材をまたがって配設される支持部材によりその剛性が補強されつつ支持されているので、前面枠部材の剛性を向上して、その分、前面扉全体としての剛性を向上させることができる。   According to the gaming machine 9, the rigidity of the operation portion member, the visual recognition portion member, and the storage portion member that constitute the front frame member is reinforced by the support member that is disposed across these three members. Therefore, the rigidity of the front frame member can be improved, and the rigidity of the front door as a whole can be improved accordingly.

遊技機9において、前記左右部に配設された2つの支持部材は、2つの補助部材を備えると共にその2つの補助部材がそれぞれ上下端に連結されることにより正面視略額縁状の枠体に構成されていることを特徴とする遊技機10。   In the gaming machine 9, the two support members disposed on the left and right portions include two auxiliary members, and the two auxiliary members are connected to the upper and lower ends, respectively, so that the frame body has a substantially frame shape when viewed from the front. A gaming machine 10 that is configured.

遊技機10によれば、支持部材は、その上下端に2つの補助部材が連結されることにより正面視略額縁状の枠体に構成されている。よって、かかる支持部材に支持された前面枠部材の剛性を曲げ方向だけでなくねじり方向においても向上させることができるので、最小限の部品点数の増加で強度を確保しつつ前面枠部材としての構造を最適化することができ、その結果、前面扉全体としての剛性を向上させることができる。   According to the gaming machine 10, the support member is configured as a frame having a substantially frame shape in front view by connecting two auxiliary members to the upper and lower ends thereof. Therefore, since the rigidity of the front frame member supported by the support member can be improved not only in the bending direction but also in the torsional direction, the structure as the front frame member while ensuring the strength with the minimum increase in the number of parts. As a result, the rigidity of the entire front door can be improved.

なお、上記各実施例において、遊技機10に記載した補助部材としては補助部材6が該当する。   In each of the above embodiments, the auxiliary member 6 corresponds to the auxiliary member described in the gaming machine 10.

遊技機10において、前記支持部材の上下端を連結する各補助部材は、その支持部材と着脱自在に構成されていることを特徴とする遊技機11。   In the gaming machine 10, each auxiliary member that connects the upper and lower ends of the support member is configured to be detachable from the support member.

遊技機11によれば、補助部材は、支持部材に着脱自在に構成されている。よって、かかる補助部材を支持部材に取り付ける(連結する)だけで正面視額縁状の枠体を容易に形成することができる。従って、額縁状に形成するための複雑な加工を施す必要がなく、枠体の製造工程を簡素化することができるので、前面扉の製造コストを低減して、その分、遊技機全体としての製造コストを低減することができる。また、補助部材は支持部材と着脱自在に構成されているので、かかる補助部材を支持部材から取り外すことにより、枠体を各部材(即ち、左右の2つの支持部材と上下の2つの補助部材)毎に分解することができる。よって、例えば、前面扉の不用意な開閉操作等により枠体の1の部材に歪み等が発生した場合には、枠体全体を交換等することなく歪みの発生した部材のみを部分的に交換等することができるので、その分、材料コストを低減することができる。   According to the gaming machine 11, the auxiliary member is configured to be detachable from the support member. Therefore, a frame body having a frame shape in front view can be easily formed only by attaching (connecting) the auxiliary member to the support member. Therefore, it is not necessary to perform complicated processing for forming the frame shape, and the manufacturing process of the frame body can be simplified. Therefore, the manufacturing cost of the front door is reduced, and the gaming machine as a whole is correspondingly reduced. Manufacturing cost can be reduced. Further, since the auxiliary member is configured to be detachable from the support member, the frame body can be removed from the support member by removing the auxiliary member from the support member (ie, the left and right support members and the upper and lower two auxiliary members). It can be disassembled every time. Therefore, for example, when distortion or the like occurs in one member of the frame body due to an inadvertent opening / closing operation of the front door, only the deformed member is partially replaced without replacing the entire frame body. Therefore, the material cost can be reduced accordingly.

遊技機4から8のいずれかにおいて、前記支持部材は着脱不能に連結された4辺から正面視略額縁状の枠体に構成されるものであり、前記前面枠部材を構成する部材のうちの少なくとも前記操作部用部材と視認部用部材と貯留部用部材とは前記支持部材の左右2つの側辺に支持されると共に、その2つの側辺のそれぞれが少なくとも前記操作部用部材と視認部用部材と貯留部用部材とにまたがりつつこれらの部材を支持するように構成されていることを特徴とする遊技機12。なお、「4辺が着脱不能に連結された枠体」としては、かかる枠体(4辺)を一体に成形(例えば、樹脂材料の射出成形あるいは金属材料の鋳造成形等により成形)するものだけでなく、例えば、溶接により各辺を連結して形成した枠体や、接着剤等による接着により各辺を連結して形成した枠体であっても良い。   In any one of the gaming machines 4 to 8, the support member is configured to be a frame body having a substantially frame shape in front view from four sides that are detachably connected, and among the members constituting the front frame member At least the operation part member, the visual recognition part member, and the storage part member are supported by two left and right sides of the support member, and each of the two side parts is at least the operation part member and the visual recognition part. A gaming machine 12 configured to support these members while straddling the members for use and the members for the storage unit. In addition, the “frame body in which the four sides are detachably connected” is only a frame body (four sides) which is integrally molded (for example, molded by injection molding of a resin material or casting molding of a metal material). Instead, for example, a frame formed by connecting the sides by welding or a frame formed by connecting the sides by bonding with an adhesive or the like may be used.

遊技機12によれば、前面枠部材を構成する操作部用部材と視認部用部材と貯留部用部材とは、これらの3つの部材をまたがって配設される支持部材によりその剛性が補強されつつ支持されているので、前面枠部材の剛性を向上して、その分、前面扉全体としての剛性を向上させることができる。更に、支持部材は正面視略額縁状の枠体に構成されているので、かかる枠体に支持された前面枠部材の剛性を曲げ方向だけでなくねじり方向においても向上させることができる。更に、枠体は、その4辺が互いに着脱不能に連結されて構成されている。よって、枠体各辺の連結部の剛性が低下してその連結部に変形が集中することを抑制することができるので、枠体全体としての剛性をより向上させることができ、その分、前面扉全体としての剛性をより一層向上させることができる。   According to the gaming machine 12, the rigidity of the operation portion member, the visual recognition portion member, and the storage portion member that constitute the front frame member is reinforced by the support member disposed across these three members. Therefore, the rigidity of the front frame member can be improved, and the rigidity of the front door as a whole can be improved accordingly. Further, since the support member is configured as a frame having a substantially frame shape when viewed from the front, the rigidity of the front frame member supported by the frame can be improved not only in the bending direction but also in the twisting direction. Furthermore, the frame body is configured such that its four sides are detachably connected to each other. Therefore, since the rigidity of the connection part of each side of the frame body can be prevented from being reduced and the deformation concentrated on the connection part, the rigidity of the entire frame body can be further improved, and the front surface is accordingly increased. The rigidity of the entire door can be further improved.

遊技機12において、前記支持部材は、1の材料から正面視額縁状の枠体に構成されていることを特徴とする遊技機13。なお、「1の材料から正面視額縁状の枠体を構成」する方法としては、例えば、一枚の板材(1の材料)をプレス加工により打ち抜いて正面視額縁状の枠体を得る方法や、一枚の板材を切削加工により切削して正面視額縁状の枠体を削り出す方法等が例示される。   In the gaming machine 12, the support member is formed of a frame material having a frame shape in front view from one material. In addition, as a method of “constructing a frame with a frame in front view from one material”, for example, a method of obtaining a frame with a frame in front view by punching out a single plate material (1 material) by press working, An example is a method of cutting a single plate material by cutting to cut out a frame having a frame shape in front view.

遊技機13によれば、支持部材はプレス加工等により1の材料から正面視額縁状の枠体に構成されている。よって、各辺の連結部にいわゆる継ぎ目を生じさせることなく枠体を形成することができるので、かかる枠体各辺の連結部の剛性が低下してその連結部に変形が集中することを抑制することができる。従って、枠体全体としての剛性をより向上させることができ、前面扉全体としての剛性をより一層向上させることができる。   According to the gaming machine 13, the support member is formed from a single material into a frame having a frame shape when viewed from the front by pressing or the like. Therefore, since a frame can be formed without causing a so-called seam at the connecting portion of each side, the rigidity of the connecting portion of each side of the frame is reduced and deformation is concentrated on the connecting portion. can do. Accordingly, the rigidity of the entire frame can be further improved, and the rigidity of the entire front door can be further improved.

遊技機1から13のいずれかにおいて、前記前面扉を構成する複数の部材であって前記支持部材に支持される少なくとも2以上の部材は、前記当接面部とその当接面部に連設される第2の当接面部とを備え、前記支持部材は、前記部材の当接面部と第2の当接面部とに対応して略面状に形成された支持面と第2の支持面部とを備えており、前記支持部材が前記少なくとも2以上の部材間にまたがりつつその支持面部及び第2の支持面部を各部材の当接面部及び当接面部に当接させることにより前記2以上の部材が支持されるように構成されていることを特徴とする遊技機14。   In any one of the gaming machines 1 to 13, a plurality of members constituting the front door and supported by the support member are connected to the contact surface portion and the contact surface portion. A second contact surface portion, and the support member includes a support surface formed in a substantially planar shape corresponding to the contact surface portion of the member and the second contact surface portion, and a second support surface portion. The two or more members are provided by bringing the support surface portion and the second support surface portion into contact with the contact surface portion and the contact surface portion of each member while the support member spans between the at least two or more members. A gaming machine 14 configured to be supported.

遊技機14によれば、支持部材は、その支持面部と第2の支持面部との2面を接触させて各部材を支持することができるので、各部材をがたつくことなくより強固に支持することができ、前面扉全体としての剛性をより一層向上させることができる。なお、上記各実施例において、遊技機14に記載した当接面部としては当接面部91が、第2の当接面部としては当接面部92が、支持面部としては支持面部93が、第2の支持面部としては支持面部94がそれぞれ該当する。   According to the gaming machine 14, since the support member can support each member by bringing the support surface portion and the second support surface portion into contact with each other, the support member can be supported more firmly without rattling. And the rigidity of the entire front door can be further improved. In each of the above embodiments, the contact surface 91 described as the contact surface described in the gaming machine 14, the contact surface 92 as the second contact surface, the support surface 93 as the second support surface, The support surface portion 94 corresponds to each of the support surface portions.

請求項1記載の遊技機または遊技機1から14のいずれかにおいて、前記前面扉を遊技機本体に開閉可能に連結するヒンジ部材を備えており、そのヒンジ部材は前記支持部材を介して前記前面扉を遊技機本体に連結するように構成されていることを特徴とする遊技機15。支持部材には、前面扉を構成する複数の部材が支持されている。よって、かかる支持部材を介して前面扉をヒンジ部材により遊技機本体に連結することにより、最少1のヒンジ部材により複数の部材を遊技機本体へ効率よく連結することができる。また、複数の部材は支持部材により補強されつつ支持されているので、かかる支持部材にヒンジ部材を配設することにより、複数の部材からなる連結体全体としての剛性を維持しつつ前面扉を開閉可能に構成することができる。   The gaming machine according to claim 1 or any one of the gaming machines 1 to 14, further comprising a hinge member that connects the front door to the gaming machine body so as to be openable and closable, and the hinge member is connected to the front surface via the support member. A gaming machine 15 configured to connect a door to a gaming machine main body. A plurality of members constituting the front door are supported by the support member. Therefore, by connecting the front door to the gaming machine main body with the hinge member via the support member, a plurality of members can be efficiently connected to the gaming machine main body with a minimum of one hinge member. In addition, since the plurality of members are supported while being reinforced by the support member, the front door is opened and closed while maintaining the rigidity of the entire connecting body composed of the plurality of members by arranging a hinge member on the support member.
