遊技機前方に開放された筐体と、
遊技に際し絵柄を変動表示する絵柄表示装置をユニット本体に搭載した表示ユニットとを備え、
前記表示ユニットが前記筐体内に着脱自在に設けられた遊技機であって、
前記筐体の背面部の内側に筐体側コネクタを設け、
前記ユニット本体において前記筐体の背面部に対向する部位に、前記表示ユニットの前記筐体内への装着完了に伴い前記筐体側コネクタに結合されるユニット側コネクタを設け、
前記筐体側コネクタ及び前記ユニット側コネクタの少なくともいずれかを可動コネクタとしてコネクタ支持部材により移動可能な状態で支持し、
前記コネクタ支持部材によって、前記可動コネクタにおけるコネクタ結合方向への移動を制限し且つ同コネクタ結合方向に対して直交する方向への移動を同コネクタ支持部材との間に形成された空隙の範囲内で可能としたことを特徴とする遊技機。 A housing opened in front of the gaming machine;
It has a display unit equipped with a pattern display device on the unit body that displays the pattern in a variable manner during the game,
A gaming machine in which the display unit is detachably provided in the housing,
A housing side connector is provided inside the back surface of the housing,
A unit-side connector coupled to the housing-side connector upon completion of mounting of the display unit in the housing is provided at a portion of the unit body that faces the back surface of the housing.
Support at least one of the housing side connector and the unit side connector as a movable connector in a movable state by a connector support member,
The connector support member restricts the movement of the movable connector in the connector coupling direction, and the movement in the direction orthogonal to the connector coupling direction is within the range of the gap formed between the connector support member and the connector support member. A gaming machine characterized by being made possible. 前記可動コネクタ及びそれを支持する前記コネクタ支持部材のいずれか一方に設けられ、前記コネクタの結合方向に延びる軸部と、A shaft portion that is provided on any one of the movable connector and the connector support member that supports the movable connector, and extends in the connecting direction of the connector;
前記可動コネクタ及び前記コネクタ支持部材の他方に前記軸部を挿通可能に設けられ、前記軸部の外形寸法よりも大きな開口を有する開口部とAn opening having an opening larger than an outer dimension of the shaft, the shaft being inserted into the other of the movable connector and the connector support member;
を備え、With
前記軸部と前記開口部との間に前記可動コネクタの移動可能範囲として前記空隙が形成されるように構成したことを特徴とする請求項１に記載の遊技機。The gaming machine according to claim 1, wherein the gap is formed as a movable range of the movable connector between the shaft portion and the opening portion. 前記軸部及び前記開口部について、前記コネクタ支持部材側に設けられた一方に対して前記可動コネクタ側に設けられた他方が鉛直方向に移動可能となる全範囲のうち、その鉛直方向に移動可能な可動コネクタ側部位が同可動コネクタの自重により最低位となる最低位位置を含む鉛直方向所定範囲において、前記可動コネクタ側部位が水平方向に移動可能となる範囲を前記最低位位置に近づくほど小さくしたことを特徴とする請求項２に記載の遊技機。The shaft and the opening are movable in the vertical direction out of the entire range in which the other provided on the movable connector side is movable in the vertical direction with respect to the one provided on the connector support member side. In a predetermined range in the vertical direction including the lowest position where the movable connector side portion is at the lowest position due to the weight of the movable connector, the range in which the movable connector side portion can move in the horizontal direction becomes smaller as it approaches the lowest position. The gaming machine according to claim 2, wherein 前記筐体側コネクタ及び前記ユニット側コネクタの一方を可動コネクタ、他方を固定コネクタとし、One of the housing side connector and the unit side connector is a movable connector, the other is a fixed connector,
当該固定コネクタ側に、前記ユニット本体の筐体への装着に伴い前記可動コネクタの結合位置への移動を誘導する誘導部材を設け、Provided on the fixed connector side is a guide member that guides the movement of the movable connector to the coupling position with the mounting of the unit body on the housing,
前記誘導部材を、少なくとも前記固定コネクタの下側において、対向する前記可動コネクタに向かって同固定コネクタから突出するように構成したことを特徴とする請求項１乃至請求項３のいずれか１つに記載の遊技機。4. The guide member according to claim 1, wherein the guide member is configured to protrude from the fixed connector toward the opposed movable connector at least on the lower side of the fixed connector. 5. The gaming machine described. 前記可動コネクタにおいてその結合先端側と反対側の少なくとも一部が、同可動コネクタが取り付けられる前記筐体の背面部、又は同じく同可動コネクタが取り付けられる前記ユニット本体の背板部に当接するように構成したことを特徴とする請求項１乃至請求項４のいずれか１つに記載の遊技機。At least a part of the movable connector on the side opposite to the coupling tip side is in contact with a back surface portion of the housing to which the movable connector is attached or a back plate portion of the unit body to which the movable connector is similarly attached. The gaming machine according to any one of claims 1 to 4, wherein the gaming machine is configured.
