Without being performed, it is possible to restrict or allow the game ball to flow down to the open / close side ball flow path. Therefore, it is possible to efficiently perform maintenance work of a gaming machine that requires opening / closing operation of the opening / closing body.

また、開閉側ストッパーを開閉側球流下路の上流開口へ突出した状態では、第１磁性体と第２磁性体とが近接し、第１磁性体と第２磁性体との間に発生する磁力により開閉側ストッパーを突出状態に維持可能としたので、開閉体を開いた状態で開閉側ストッパーが不用意に開閉側球流下路の上流開口から引き抜かれる不都合、ひいては開閉側球流下路の上流開口から遊技球が落下する不都合を阻止することができる。 Further, in a state where the opening / closing side stopper protrudes to the upstream opening of the opening / closing side ball flow path, the first magnetic body and the second magnetic body are close to each other, and the magnetic force generated between the first magnetic body and the second magnetic body. This makes it possible to maintain the open / close stopper in a protruding state, so that the open / close stopper is inadvertently pulled out from the upstream opening of the open / close side ball flow path with the open / close body open, and thus the upstream opening of the open / close side ball flow path Therefore, it is possible to prevent the inconvenience of the game ball falling.

A member, a contact rod that can be pulled out to the opening / closing body and a tip end portion of which can contact the opening / closing body, and a restriction operation portion that operates the moving arm in conjunction with the contact rod. The movement of the movable arm can be restricted, and the tip of the contact rod is provided with a suction part that can be attracted to the opening and closing body.When the opening and closing body is opened, the contact rod is pulled out while the suction part is attracted to the opening and closing body. In conjunction with this pull-out operation, the restricting operation section allows the movement arm to move, and the urging force of the urging member projects the frame-side stopper to the downstream opening of the frame-side sphere flow path so that the game ball flows down the frame-side sphere. Out of the downstream opening of the road When the opening / closing body is closed, the abutment rod is pressed toward the front frame side, and in conjunction with this pressing operation, the regulating operation unit operates the moving arm to move the frame side stopper from the downstream opening of the frame side ball flow path. Since it is configured to allow the game ball to flow out from the downstream opening of the frame-side ball flow path by restricting the movement of the moving arm in this pulled-out state, the opening / closing body is set in advance with respect to the front frame Even if the mounting position is shifted in the vertical direction or the horizontal direction, it is possible to prevent a problem that the contact rod does not move despite opening / closing of the opening / closing body. Thereby, the frame-side stopper and the opening-and-closing-side stopper can be moved in and out, and thus the operation of restricting or allowing the game ball to flow out of the frame-side ball flow path and the opening-and-closing side ball flow path can be performed without any trouble.

請求項３に記載の発明によれば、開閉体のうち当接ロッドの吸着部に対向する箇所に被吸着部材を配置し、該被吸着部材を開閉側付勢部材により吸着部側へ付勢するので、開閉体が前面枠に対して予め設定された取付位置から前後方向にずれて取り付けられていたとしても、被吸着部材が予め設定された位置よりも前方に配置されて開閉体が当接ロッドを押圧しないという不具合、さらには、被吸着部材が予め設定された位置よりも後方に配置されて当接ロッドに突っ掛かって開閉体が十分に閉じられないという不具合を阻止することができる。したがって、開閉体を閉じたにも拘らず各ストッパーが各球流下路の開口から引き抜かれないという不具合を抑えることができ、開閉体の閉状態時に遊技球を枠側球流下路から開閉側球流下路へ支障なく流下させることができる。 According to the third aspect of the present invention, the member to be adsorbed is disposed at a position of the opening / closing body that faces the adsorption portion of the contact rod, and the adsorbed member is urged toward the adsorption portion by the opening / closing side urging member. Therefore, even if the opening / closing body is attached to the front frame deviating from the preset installation position in the front-rear direction, the attracted member is disposed in front of the preset position and the opening / closing body It is possible to prevent the problem that the contact rod is not pressed, and further the problem that the member to be attracted is arranged behind the preset position and the contact member sticks to the contact rod so that the opening / closing body is not sufficiently closed. . Therefore, it is possible to suppress the problem that the stoppers are not pulled out from the openings of the respective ball flow downways even when the open / close body is closed, and the game balls are moved from the frame side ball flow downway to the open / close side balls when the open / close body is closed. It can be made to flow down the flow path without hindrance.

請求項４に記載の発明によれば、吸着部を開閉体側へ向けて揺動可能とするとともに、吸着側付勢部材により開閉体側へ付勢するので、開閉体が前面枠に対して予め設定された取付位置から前後方向にずれて取り付けられていたとしても、吸着部が開閉体に吸着しないという不具合を阻止することができる。したがって、開閉体を閉じたにも拘らず各ストッパーが各球流下路の開口から引き抜かれないという不具合を抑えることができ、開閉体の閉状態時に遊技球を枠側球流下路から開閉側球流下路へ支障なく流下させることができる。 According to the invention described in claim 4, since the suction portion can be swung toward the opening / closing body side and is urged toward the opening / closing body side by the suction side urging member, the opening / closing body is preset with respect to the front frame. Even if the mounting position is shifted in the front-rear direction from the mounting position, it is possible to prevent a problem that the suction portion does not stick to the opening / closing body. Therefore, it is possible to suppress the problem that the stoppers are not pulled out from the openings of the respective ball flow downways even when the open / close body is closed, and the game balls are moved from the frame side ball flow downway to the open / close side balls when the open / close body is closed. It can be made to flow down the flow path without hindrance.

開閉側ガイド部７９は、図７および図８に示すように、両側部（左右両側部）に縦長なガイド溝８９を形成し、該ガイド溝８９にガイド片８５を摺動可能な状態で遊嵌して、スライドベース８３とともに開閉側ストッパー７８を上下方向へ案内できるように構成されている。また、開閉側ガイド部７９の上部には矩形状の切欠部９０を形成し、開閉側ストッパー７８の上下移動時には切欠部９０内にストッパー係合部８７を移動可能とし、流出許容状態においては、切欠部９０の下縁部にストッパー係合部８７の基端部を係止して、開閉側ガイド部７９から開閉側ストッパー７８が下方へ脱落することを阻止している（図８（ａ）参照）。さらに、切欠部９０の下縁部の近傍には、厚肉円形状の第２磁性体（永久磁石）９２をスライドベース８３から開閉側ストッパー７８側へ突出した状態、且つ開閉側ストッパー７８との間に僅かな隙間を形成する状態で止着し（図７（ａ）および図８（ａ）参照）、第２磁性体９２のうち開閉側ストッパー７８に対向し得るストッパー対向面９２ａの磁極を、第１磁性体８６のガイド部対向面８６ａと同じ磁極に設定している。 As shown in FIGS. 7 and 8, the open / close side guide portion 79 is formed with longitudinal guide grooves 89 on both side portions (left and right side portions), and the guide piece 85 is slidable in the guide groove 89 in a slidable state. The open / close side stopper 78 can be guided in the vertical direction together with the slide base 83. Further, a rectangular cutout 90 is formed at the top of the open / close side guide 79, and when the open / close side stopper 78 is moved up and down, the stopper engaging portion 87 can be moved into the cutout 90. The base end portion of the stopper engaging portion 87 is locked to the lower edge portion of the notch portion 90 to prevent the opening / closing side stopper 78 from dropping downward from the opening / closing side guide portion 79 (FIG. 8A). reference). Further, in the vicinity of the lower edge of the notch 90, a thick circular second magnetic body (permanent magnet) 92 is projected from the slide base 83 toward the opening / closing stopper 78, and with the opening / closing stopper 78. The magnetic pole of the stopper facing surface 92a that can be opposed to the open / close stopper 78 of the second magnetic body 92 is secured with a slight gap formed between them (see FIGS. 7A and 8A). The first magnetic body 86 is set to have the same magnetic pole as the guide portion facing surface 86a.

そして、開閉側流出規制機構７７は、流出許容状態（開閉側ストッパー７８を下げた状態）では第１磁性体８６を第２磁性体９２よりも下方、具体的には、第１磁性体８６を開閉側ガイド部７９の下部と同じ高さの位置に配置し（図８（ａ）参照）、流出規制状態（開閉側ストッパー７８を上げた状態）では第１磁性体８６を第２磁性体９２よりも上方へずれた位置に配置し、第２磁性体９２の下端が第１磁性体８６の上端と同じ高さに位置するように設定されている（図８（ｂ）参照）。 The open / close-side outflow restricting mechanism 77 moves the first magnetic body 86 below the second magnetic body 92, specifically, the first magnetic body 86 in the flow-out allowed state (state where the open / close side stopper 78 is lowered). The first magnetic body 86 is disposed at the same height as the lower part of the opening / closing side guide portion 79 (see FIG. 8A), and the first magnetic body 86 is replaced with the second magnetic body 92 in the outflow restricted state (the state in which the opening / closing side stopper 78 is raised). The lower end of the second magnetic body 92 is set at the same height as the upper end of the first magnetic body 86 (see FIG. 8B).

このような構成の枠側流出規制機構５０および開閉側流出規制機構７７を備えて、透明部材保持枠１１を前面枠３に対して閉じると、図３（ａ）に示すように、球転動部４６と球貯留ユニット１３の開閉側球流下路３５とが近接または当接して球貯留空間部３３の底部が球転動部４６よりも僅かに低い位置で球転動部４６の前方に配置される。また、ストッパー係合部８７がストッパーベース５６の前端部を挟み込んで枠側ストッパー５２と開閉側ストッパー７８とを連動可能な状態に係合する。さらに、透明部材保持枠１１が移動規制機構６４の出没変換部５３の当接ヘッド７１ａ（当接ロッド７１）を後方の前面枠３側へ押圧し、透明部材保持枠１１の被吸着領域に当接ヘッド７１ａを吸着した状態となる。すると、出没変換部５３は、図５（ｃ）および（ｄ）に示すように、当接ヘッド７１ａを後方（図５（ｄ）中、矢印Ａで示す方向）へ移動するとともに連結部材７２を上方（図５（ｄ）中、矢印Ｂで示す方向）へ回動して、係合ロッド７０を上方（図５（ｃ），（ｄ）中、矢印Ｃで示す方向）へ移動する。さらに、上昇した係合ロッド７０の係合突起７３により係合受部６８（詳しくは係合受部６８の上縁部）を押し上げて、第１アーム６３ａを付勢部材６６の付勢力に抗して下方（図５（ｃ）中、矢印Ｄで示す方向）へ回動する。すると、第１アーム６３ａの先端に接続された枠側ストッパー５２を下方へ移動し、枠側出没片５５を枠側球流下路２５の下流開口２５ａから出没空間部４８を通して下方へ引き抜く（図３（ａ）参照）。すなわち、当接ロッド７１を押圧する動作に連動して係合ロッド７０が係合突起７３を介して移動アーム６３を操作して枠側出没片５５を下流開口２５ａから引き抜く。この結果、枠側流出規制機構５０は、流出許容状態へ変換し、遊技球が枠側球流下路２５の下流開口２５ａから流出すること、ひいては球貯留空間部３３へ流下することを許容する。 When the frame-side outflow regulating mechanism 50 and the open / close-side outflow regulating mechanism 77 having such a configuration are provided and the transparent member holding frame 11 is closed with respect to the front frame 3, as shown in FIG. The bottom 46 of the ball storage space 33 is disposed in front of the ball rolling portion 46 at a position slightly lower than the ball rolling portion 46 when the portion 46 and the open / close side ball flow path 35 of the ball storage unit 13 approach or contact each other. Is done. Further, the stopper engaging portion 87 sandwiches the front end portion of the stopper base 56 and engages the frame side stopper 52 and the opening / closing side stopper 78 so as to be interlocked with each other. Further, the transparent member holding frame 11 presses the abutting head 71a (abutting rod 71) of the protrusion / displacement converting portion 53 of the movement restricting mechanism 64 toward the rear front frame 3 so as to contact the attracted area of the transparent member holding frame 11. The contact head 71a is sucked. Then, as shown in FIGS. 5C and 5D, the appearance conversion unit 53 moves the contact head 71a backward (in the direction indicated by the arrow A in FIG. 5D) and moves the connecting member 72. Rotating upward (the direction indicated by arrow B in FIG. 5D), the engaging rod 70 is moved upward (the direction indicated by arrow C in FIGS. 5C and 5D). Furthermore, the engagement receiving portion 68 (specifically, the upper edge portion of the engagement receiving portion 68) is pushed up by the engagement protrusion 73 of the raised engagement rod 70, and the first arm 63a is resisted against the urging force of the urging member 66. Then, it rotates downward (in the direction indicated by arrow D in FIG. 5C). Then, the frame-side stopper 52 connected to the tip of the first arm 63a is moved downward, and the frame-side protruding / retracting piece 55 is pulled downward from the downstream opening 25a of the frame-side spherical flow path 25 through the protruding / retracting space 48 (FIG. 3). (See (a)). In other words, the engagement rod 70 operates the moving arm 63 via the engagement protrusion 73 in conjunction with the operation of pressing the contact rod 71 to pull out the frame-side protruding and retracting piece 55 from the downstream opening 25a. As a result, the frame-side outflow restriction mechanism 50 converts to an outflow-permitted state, and allows the game ball to flow out of the downstream opening 25a of the frame-side ball flow path 25 and eventually flow down to the ball storage space 33.

そして、枠側ストッパー５２が下方へ移動すると、ストッパーベース５６が、開閉側ストッパー７８を上方へ押し上げようとする力、具体的には、第１磁性体８６のガイド部対向面８６ａと、該ガイド部対向面８６ａよりも下方に位置する第２磁性体９２のストッパー対向面９２ａと間に発生する磁力（反発力）に抗してストッパー係合部８７を押し下げて、開閉側ストッパー７８をガイド溝８９（開閉側ガイド部７９）に沿って下方へ移動する。引き続き、ストッパーベース５６がストッパー係合部８７を押し下げて、第１磁性体８６を第２磁性体９２よりも下方へ移動すると、第１磁性体８６と第２磁性体９２との間に発生する反発力が開閉側ストッパー７８を下方へ移動する向きに作用する。したがって、開閉側ストッパー７８は、ストッパーベース５６の押し下げ力に加えて、第１磁性体８６と第２磁性体９２との間の磁力により移動し、開閉側出没片８０を開閉側球流下路３５の上流開口３５ａから下方へ引き抜く（図３（ａ）参照）。この結果、開閉側流出規制機構７７は、流出許容状態へ迅速に変換し、枠側球流下路２５から流下してきた遊技球が開閉側球流下路３５の上流開口３５ａへ流入することを許容する。 When the frame-side stopper 52 moves downward, the stopper base 56 pushes the opening / closing-side stopper 78 upward, specifically, the guide portion facing surface 86a of the first magnetic body 86, and the guide The stopper engaging portion 87 is pushed down against the magnetic force (repulsive force) generated between the stopper facing surface 92a of the second magnetic body 92 located below the portion facing surface 86a, and the open / close side stopper 78 is guided to the guide groove. It moves downward along 89 (opening / closing side guide portion 79). Subsequently, when the stopper base 56 pushes down the stopper engaging portion 87 and moves the first magnetic body 86 below the second magnetic body 92, it occurs between the first magnetic body 86 and the second magnetic body 92. The repulsive force acts in a direction to move the opening / closing stopper 78 downward. Therefore, the open / close side stopper 78 moves by the magnetic force between the first magnetic body 86 and the second magnetic body 92 in addition to the pressing force of the stopper base 56, so that the open / close side retractable piece 80 is moved to the open / close side spherical flow path 35. Is extracted downward from the upstream opening 35a (see FIG. 3A). As a result, the opening / closing-side outflow regulating mechanism 77 quickly converts to an outflow-permitted state and allows the game ball flowing down from the frame-side ball flow down passage 25 to flow into the upstream opening 35a of the opening / closing-side ball flow down passage 35. .

また、透明部材保持枠１１を十分に閉じることで第１アーム６３ａをさらに下方へ回動すると、この回動により枠側ストッパー５２が下死点に到達するとともに、係合突起７３が係合受部６８の上縁部を押し退けて上縁部の側部に当接する（図５（ｅ），（ｆ）参照）。すると、移動規制機構６４（具体的には係合ロッド７０の係合突起７３）が第１アーム６３ａを下がった状態でロックして枠側ストッパー５２（枠側出没片５５）の引き抜き状態を維持し、付勢部材６６の付勢力により第１アーム６３ａが上方へ移動すること、ひいては枠側ストッパー５２と、該枠側ストッパー５２に係合する開閉側ストッパー７８とが上昇することを規制する。したがって、枠側流出規制機構５０が流出許容状態に維持されるとともに、開閉側流出規制機構７７が流出許容状態に維持される。 When the first arm 63a is further rotated downward by sufficiently closing the transparent member holding frame 11, the frame-side stopper 52 reaches the bottom dead center by this rotation, and the engagement protrusion 73 is engaged. The upper edge portion of the portion 68 is pushed away and comes into contact with the side portion of the upper edge portion (see FIGS. 5E and 5F). Then, the movement restricting mechanism 64 (specifically, the engagement protrusion 73 of the engagement rod 70) locks in a state where the first arm 63a is lowered, and the frame-side stopper 52 (the frame-side protrusion / depression piece 55) is maintained in the pulled-out state. Then, the urging force of the urging member 66 restricts the first arm 63a from moving upward, and as a result, the frame side stopper 52 and the open / close side stopper 78 engaged with the frame side stopper 52 are prevented from rising. Therefore, the frame-side outflow restricting mechanism 50 is maintained in the outflow allowable state, and the open / close-side outflow restricting mechanism 77 is maintained in the outflow allowable state.

一方、透明部材保持枠１１を前面枠３に対して開くと、図３（ｂ）に示すように、球転動部４６と球貯留ユニット１３の開閉側球流下路３５とが離れる。そして、球転動部４６と開閉側球流下路３５とが離れた直後、言い換えると、この離間距離が遊技球の直径よりも広くなる前に、当接ロッド７１が当接ヘッド７１ａを透明部材保持枠１１の被吸着領域へ吸着した状態で収容ケース６１から引き出されて透明部材保持枠１１とともに前方へ移動する。すると、出没変換部５３は、当接ロッド７１の引き出し動作に連動して係合ロッド７０を移動して、第１アーム６３ａの移動を許容する。具体的には、当接ヘッド７１ａを前方（図５（ｄ）中、矢印Ｅで示す方向）へ移動するとともに連結部材７２を下方（図５（ｄ）中、矢印Ｆで示す方向）へ回動して係合ロッド７０を下方（図５（ｃ），（ｄ）中、矢印Ｇで示す方向）へ移動する。そして、下降した係合ロッド７０の係合突起７３を係合受部６８の上縁部から下方へ外して第１アーム６３ａの回動規制を解除する（図５（ｃ），（ｄ）参照）。第１アーム６３ａの回動規制が解除されると、第１アーム６３ａが付勢部材６６の付勢力により上方（図５（ｃ）中、矢印Ｈで示す方向）へ迅速に回動し、この回動に伴って枠側ストッパー５２を上昇させ、出没空間部４８を通して枠側出没片５５を下流開口２５ａへ突出する（図３（ｂ）および図５（ａ），（ｂ）参照）。この結果、枠側流出規制機構５０は、流出規制状態へ変換し、球転動部４６と開閉側球流下路３５との間隔が遊技球の直径よりも広くなる前に（すなわち透明部材保持枠１１と前面枠３との間から遊技球が落下可能となる前に）遊技球が枠側球流下路２５から球貯留空間部３３へ向けて流下することを規制する。 On the other hand, when the transparent member holding frame 11 is opened with respect to the front frame 3, the ball rolling part 46 and the open / close side ball flow path 35 of the ball storage unit 13 are separated from each other as shown in FIG. Then, immediately after the ball rolling portion 46 and the open / close side ball flow path 35 are separated from each other, in other words, before the separation distance becomes larger than the diameter of the game ball, the contact rod 71 causes the contact head 71a to move to the transparent member. In the state of being attracted to the attracted area of the holding frame 11, it is pulled out from the housing case 61 and moves forward together with the transparent member holding frame 11. Then, the appearance change part 53 moves the engagement rod 70 in conjunction with the pulling-out operation of the contact rod 71, and allows the first arm 63a to move. Specifically, the contact head 71a is moved forward (the direction indicated by the arrow E in FIG. 5D) and the connecting member 72 is rotated downward (the direction indicated by the arrow F in FIG. 5D). The engagement rod 70 is moved downward (in the direction indicated by the arrow G in FIGS. 5C and 5D). Then, the engagement protrusion 73 of the lowered engagement rod 70 is removed downward from the upper edge of the engagement receiving portion 68 to release the rotation restriction of the first arm 63a (see FIGS. 5C and 5D). ). When the rotation restriction of the first arm 63a is released, the first arm 63a is quickly rotated upward (in the direction indicated by the arrow H in FIG. 5C) by the urging force of the urging member 66. The frame-side stopper 52 is raised along with the rotation, and the frame-side protruding and protruding piece 55 protrudes to the downstream opening 25a through the protruding and protruding space 48 (see FIGS. 3B, 5A, and 5B). As a result, the frame side outflow restricting mechanism 50 converts to the outflow restricted state, and before the distance between the ball rolling portion 46 and the open / close side ball flow path 35 becomes larger than the diameter of the game ball (that is, the transparent member holding frame). 11 (before the game ball can fall from between the front frame 3 and the front frame 3), the game ball is restricted from flowing down from the frame-side ball flow path 25 toward the ball storage space 33.

このようにして、枠側流出規制機構５０を備えたパチンコ遊技機１では、透明部材保持枠１１の開閉操作とは別個の操作を行わずに球貯留空間部３３への遊技球の流下を規制したり許容したりすることができる。したがって、透明部材保持枠１１の開閉操作が必要なパチンコ遊技機１のメンテナンス作業を効率よく行うことができる。また、吸着部として機能する当接ヘッド７１ａを吸着して透明部材保持枠１１と枠側流出規制機構５０と係合するので、透明部材保持枠１１が前面枠３に対して予め設定された取付位置から上下方向あるいは左右方向にずれて取り付けられていたとしても、透明部材保持枠１１を開閉したにも拘らず当接ロッド７１が移動しないという不具合を阻止することができる。これにより、枠側ストッパー５２（枠側出没片５５）の出没動作、ひいては枠側球流下路２５からの遊技球の流下の規制動作あるいは許容動作を支障なく行うことができる。 In this way, in the pachinko gaming machine 1 provided with the frame-side outflow restricting mechanism 50, the flow of the game ball to the ball storage space 33 is restricted without performing an operation separate from the opening / closing operation of the transparent member holding frame 11. Or tolerate. Therefore, the maintenance work of the pachinko gaming machine 1 that requires the opening / closing operation of the transparent member holding frame 11 can be efficiently performed. Further, since the abutting head 71a functioning as an adsorbing portion is adsorbed and engaged with the transparent member holding frame 11 and the frame side outflow restricting mechanism 50, the transparent member holding frame 11 is attached to the front frame 3 in advance. Even if it is attached with being shifted in the vertical direction or the horizontal direction from the position, it is possible to prevent the contact rod 71 from moving despite the opening and closing of the transparent member holding frame 11. Thereby, the frame-side stopper 52 (frame-side protruding / depressing piece 55) can be moved in and out, and thus the regulation operation or the allowable operation of the flow of the game ball from the frame-side ball flow path 25 can be performed without any trouble.

そして、枠側ストッパー５２が上方へ移動すると、ストッパーベース５６がストッパー係合部８７を押し上げて、開閉側ストッパー７８をガイド溝８９（開閉側ガイド部７９）に沿って上方へ移動する。さらに、第１磁性体８６が第２磁性体９２の近傍に近づいた時には、開閉側ストッパー７８を下方へ押し上げようとする力、具体的には、第１磁性体８６のガイド部対向面８６ａと、該ガイド部対向面８６ａよりも下方に位置する第２磁性体９２のストッパー対向面９２ａと間に発生する磁力（反発力）に抗してストッパー係合部８７を押し上げて、開閉側ストッパー７８をガイド溝８９（開閉側ガイド部７９）に沿って上方へ移動する。引き続き、ストッパーベース５６がストッパー係合部８７を押し上げて、第１磁性体８６を第２磁性体９２よりも上方へ移動すると、開閉側ストッパー７８は、開閉側出没片８０を開閉側球流下路３５の上流開口３５ａへ突出する（図３（ｂ）参照）。この結果、開閉側流出規制機構７７は、流出規制状態へ変換し、遊技球が上流開口３５ａから流出することを規制する。 When the frame-side stopper 52 moves upward, the stopper base 56 pushes up the stopper engaging portion 87 and moves the open / close side stopper 78 upward along the guide groove 89 (open / close side guide portion 79). Further, when the first magnetic body 86 approaches the vicinity of the second magnetic body 92, the force to push the opening / closing side stopper 78 downward, specifically, the guide portion facing surface 86a of the first magnetic body 86 and The stopper engaging portion 87 is pushed up against the magnetic force (repulsive force) generated between the stopper facing surface 92a of the second magnetic body 92 located below the guide portion facing surface 86a to open and close the stopper 78. Is moved upward along the guide groove 89 (open / close side guide portion 79). Subsequently, when the stopper base 56 pushes up the stopper engaging portion 87 and moves the first magnetic body 86 above the second magnetic body 92, the opening / closing side stopper 78 causes the opening / closing side protruding piece 80 to move to the opening / closing side spherical flow path. It protrudes to the upstream opening 35a of 35 (refer FIG.3 (b)). As a result, the open / close side outflow restriction mechanism 77 converts to the outflow restriction state and restricts the game ball from flowing out of the upstream opening 35a.

さらに、透明部材保持枠１１を開くと、透明部材保持枠１１を前方へ引く力が当接ヘッド７１ａの吸着力よりも大きくなり、当接ヘッド７１ａが透明部材保持枠１１から離れる。また、ストッパー係合部８７がストッパーベース５６から前方へ外れて、枠側ストッパー５２と開閉側ストッパー７８との係合状態が解除される。したがって、透明部材保持枠１１を大きく開いて前面枠３の前面を開放することができる。このとき、透明部材保持枠１１の開閉側流出規制機構７７においては、第１磁性体８６が第２磁性体９２よりも上方に位置し、第１磁性体８６と第２磁性体９２との間に発生する磁力、具体的には、同じ磁極に設定されたストッパー対向面９２ａとガイド部対向面８６ａとの間に発生する反発力により、第１磁性体８６が下がって第２磁性体９２へ近づくことを阻止される。これにより、開閉側ストッパー７８が自重で下方へ移動することを阻止し、開閉側出没片８０を開閉側球流下路３５の上流開口３５ａへ突出した突出状態、すなわち、開閉側流出規制機構７７の流出規制状態を維持する。したがって、透明部材保持枠１１を開いた状態で開閉側ストッパー７８が不用意に開閉側球流下路３５の上流開口３５ａから引き抜かれる不都合、ひいては開閉側球流下路３５の上流開口３５ａから遊技球が落下する不都合を阻止することができる。 Further, when the transparent member holding frame 11 is opened, the force for pulling the transparent member holding frame 11 forward becomes larger than the attracting force of the contact head 71 a, and the contact head 71 a is separated from the transparent member holding frame 11. Further, the stopper engaging portion 87 is disengaged forward from the stopper base 56, and the engagement state between the frame side stopper 52 and the open / close side stopper 78 is released. Therefore, the transparent member holding frame 11 can be opened widely to open the front surface of the front frame 3. At this time, in the open / close-side outflow restricting mechanism 77 of the transparent member holding frame 11, the first magnetic body 86 is positioned above the second magnetic body 92, and between the first magnetic body 86 and the second magnetic body 92. The first magnetic body 86 is lowered to the second magnetic body 92 by the repulsive force generated between the stopper facing surface 92a and the guide portion facing surface 86a set to the same magnetic pole. It is blocked from approaching. Thus, the open / close stopper 78 is prevented from moving downward by its own weight, and the open / close side protruding piece 80 projects into the upstream opening 35a of the open / close side ball flow path 35, that is, the open / close side outflow restricting mechanism 77 Maintain spill regulation. Therefore, the open / close stopper 78 is inadvertently pulled out from the upstream opening 35a of the open / close side ball flow down path 35 with the transparent member holding frame 11 opened, and the game ball is thus drawn from the upstream opening 35a of the open / close side ball down flow path 35. The inconvenience of falling can be prevented.

なお、透明部材保持枠１１は、図９に示すように、当接ヘッド７１ａに対向する箇所に後面（前面枠本体４側の面）が被吸着領域となる被吸着部材９６を配置し、該被吸着部材９６と当該透明部材保持枠１１との間にコイルばね等の開閉側付勢部材９７を備え、被吸着部材９６を開閉側付勢部材９７により後方の当接ヘッド７１ａ側へ付勢してもよい。このようにすれば、透明部材保持枠１１が前面枠３に対して予め設定された取付位置から前後方向にずれて取り付けられていたり、あるいは枠側流出規制機構５０と閉状態の透明部材保持枠１１との距離が予め設定された距離よりも広く開いて配置されたりしたとしても、被吸着部材９６が予め設定された位置よりも前方に配置されて透明部材保持枠１１が当接ロッド７１を押圧しないという不具合、さらには、被吸着部材９６が予め設定された位置よりも後方に配置されて当接ロッド７１に突っ掛かって、透明部材保持枠１１が十分に閉じられないという不具合を阻止することができる。したがって、透明部材保持枠１１を閉じたにも拘らず枠側ストッパー５２が枠側球流下路２５の下流開口２５ａから引き抜かれないという不具合を抑えることができ、透明部材保持枠１１の閉状態時に遊技球を枠側球流下路２５から球貯留空間部３３へ支障なく流下させることができる。 As shown in FIG. 9, the transparent member holding frame 11 is provided with a member to be sucked 96 whose rear surface (surface on the front frame body 4 side) is a sucked region at a position facing the contact head 71a. An opening / closing urging member 97 such as a coil spring is provided between the member to be attracted 96 and the transparent member holding frame 11, and the member to be attracted 96 is urged by the opening / closing urging member 97 toward the rear contact head 71 a. May be. In this way, the transparent member holding frame 11 is attached to the front frame 3 so as to be displaced in the front-rear direction from a preset attachment position, or the frame side outflow restriction mechanism 50 and the transparent member holding frame in the closed state are attached. Even if the distance between the first member 11 and the second member 11 is wider than a predetermined distance, the member 96 to be attracted is disposed in front of the predetermined position, and the transparent member holding frame 11 causes the contact rod 71 to move. The problem of not pressing, and further, the problem that the member to be attracted 96 is arranged behind the preset position and hits the contact rod 71 to prevent the transparent member holding frame 11 from being sufficiently closed are prevented. be able to. Accordingly, it is possible to suppress a problem that the frame side stopper 52 is not pulled out from the downstream opening 25a of the frame side spherical flow path 25 even when the transparent member holding frame 11 is closed. The game ball can be allowed to flow from the frame side ball flow path 25 to the ball storage space 33 without any trouble.

また、枠側流出規制機構５０は、当接ロッド７１に当接ヘッド７１ａを透明部材保持枠１１側へ向けて揺動可能な状態で備えるとともに、吸着側付勢部材９９により透明部材保持枠１１側へ付勢してもよい。例えば、図１０に示す移動規制機構６４においては、当接ヘッド７１ａの内部にヘッド軸部１００を当接ロッド７１の延設方向とは直交する方向へ延設し、当接ロッド７１の前端（透明部材保持枠１１側の端部）には軸受部１０１を設け、該軸受部１０１にヘッド軸部１００を遊嵌して当接ロッド７１を前後方向へ揺動できるように構成されている。さらに、当接ロッド７１のうち当接ヘッド７１ａ寄り（前寄り）の箇所を連結部材７２寄り（後寄り）の箇所よりも細く形成して段差部１０２を形成し、該段差部１０２に吸着側付勢部材９９の一端を係止するとともに、当接ヘッド７１ａの後端に吸着側付勢部材９９の他端を係止している。 Further, the frame-side outflow restricting mechanism 50 includes the contact rod 71 in a state in which the contact head 71 a can swing toward the transparent member holding frame 11, and the transparent member holding frame 11 by the suction side biasing member 99. It may be biased to the side. For example, in the movement restricting mechanism 64 shown in FIG. 10, the head shaft portion 100 is extended in a direction perpendicular to the extending direction of the contact rod 71 inside the contact head 71 a, and the front end ( A bearing portion 101 is provided on the end of the transparent member holding frame 11 side, and the head shaft portion 100 is loosely fitted to the bearing portion 101 so that the contact rod 71 can swing in the front-rear direction. Furthermore, a step portion 102 is formed by forming a portion closer to the contact head 71a (front side) in the contact rod 71 than a portion closer to the connection member 72 (rear side) to form a stepped portion 102. One end of the biasing member 99 is locked, and the other end of the suction side biasing member 99 is locked to the rear end of the contact head 71a.

このような構成を備えて、吸着側付勢部材９９の付勢力により当接ヘッド７１ａを常時透明部材保持枠１１側へ付勢すれば、透明部材保持枠１１が前面枠３に対して予め設定された取付位置から前後方向にずれて取り付けられていたとしても、当接ヘッド７１ａが透明部材保持枠１１に吸着しないという不具合を阻止することができる。したがって、透明部材保持枠１１を閉じたにも拘らず枠側ストッパー５２（枠側出没片５５）が枠側球流下路２５の下流開口２５ａから引き抜かれないという不具合を抑えることができ、透明部材保持枠１１の閉状態時に遊技球を枠側球流下路２５から球貯留空間部３３へ支障なく流下させることができる。また、当接ヘッド７１ａに透明部材保持枠１１を衝突させたとしても、この衝突時の衝撃を吸着側付勢部材９９により吸収することができる。これにより、透明部材保持枠１１から受ける衝撃で移動規制機構６４が損傷する不都合をなくすことができる。 With such a configuration, if the abutting head 71a is constantly urged toward the transparent member holding frame 11 by the urging force of the suction side urging member 99, the transparent member holding frame 11 is preset with respect to the front frame 3. Even if the mounting position is shifted in the front-rear direction from the mounting position, a problem that the contact head 71a is not attracted to the transparent member holding frame 11 can be prevented. Accordingly, it is possible to suppress a problem that the frame side stopper 52 (frame side protruding and retracting piece 55) is not pulled out from the downstream opening 25a of the frame side spherical flow path 25 even when the transparent member holding frame 11 is closed. When the holding frame 11 is in the closed state, the game ball can flow down from the frame side ball flow path 25 to the ball storage space 33 without any trouble. Even if the transparent member holding frame 11 collides with the contact head 71a, the impact at the time of the collision can be absorbed by the suction side biasing member 99. Thereby, it is possible to eliminate the inconvenience that the movement restricting mechanism 64 is damaged by the impact received from the transparent member holding frame 11.

ところで、上記実施形態では、移動アーム６３を収容ケース６１内に軸着して回動するように構成したが、本発明はこれに限定されない。要は、移動アーム６３の移動により枠側ストッパー５２を移動できればどのような構成であってもよく、例えば、移動アーム６３をスライドして枠側ストッパー５２を枠側球流下路２５の下流開口２５ａに出没できるようにしてもよい。また、係合ロッド（規制操作部）７０は、上下動して移動アーム６３を操作するように構成されたが、本発明はこれに限定されず、移動アーム６３を操作して移動を規制可能であればどのような構成であってもよい。さらに、当接ヘッド７１ａを透明部材保持枠１１へ吸着させるための構成はどのようなものでもよい。例えば、当接ヘッド７１ａの先端に吸盤あるいは粘着部材を設けて当接ヘッド７１ａを透明部材保持枠１１へ吸着できるように構成してもよい。 In the above embodiment, the movable arm 63 is pivotally mounted in the housing case 61, but the present invention is not limited to this. In short, any configuration is possible as long as the frame side stopper 52 can be moved by the movement of the moving arm 63. For example, the moving arm 63 is slid to move the frame side stopper 52 to the downstream opening 25a of the frame side spherical flow path 25. You may be able to invade. In addition, the engagement rod (regulation operation unit) 70 is configured to move up and down to operate the moving arm 63, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the movement arm 63 can be operated to restrict movement. Any configuration may be used. Further, any configuration for adsorbing the contact head 71a to the transparent member holding frame 11 may be used. For example, a suction cup or an adhesive member may be provided at the tip of the contact head 71a so that the contact head 71a can be attracted to the transparent member holding frame 11.

ところで、上記実施形態では、第１磁性体８６のガイド部対向面８６ａと第２磁性体９２のストッパー対向面９２ａとを同じ磁極に設定し、第１磁性体８６と第２磁性体９２の間に生じる反発力を利用して開閉側流出規制機構７７の流出規制状態を維持可能としたが、本発明はこれに限定されない。要は、第１磁性体８６と第２磁性体９２の間に発生する磁力により流出規制状態を維持できれば、どのような設定であってもよい。例えば、第１磁性体８６のガイド部対向面８６ａと第２磁性体９２のストッパー対向面９２ａとを同じ磁極に設定し、流出規制状態における第１磁性体８６と第２磁性体９２とを同じ高さに位置するように設定すれば、第１磁性体８６と第２磁性体９２との間に生じる吸着力を利用して開閉側ストッパー７８を開閉側出没片８０が上流開口３５ａへ突出した突出状態に維持することができる。具体的には、第１磁性体８６と第２磁性体９２との間に生じる吸着力により、開閉側ストッパー７８が開閉側ガイド部７９側に引き寄せられて、ガイド片８５がガイド溝８９に押圧される。そして、この押圧力に起因してガイド片８５とガイド溝８９との間に摩擦力が発生して開閉側ストッパー７８の自重に抗する。したがって、開閉側ストッパー７８が不用意に自重により下方へ移動する不都合、ひいては開閉側球流下路３５の上流開口３５ａから遊技球が落下する不都合を阻止することができる。 By the way, in the above-described embodiment, the guide portion facing surface 86a of the first magnetic body 86 and the stopper facing surface 92a of the second magnetic body 92 are set to the same magnetic pole, and between the first magnetic body 86 and the second magnetic body 92. Although the reflow restriction state of the open / close side outflow restriction mechanism 77 can be maintained using the repulsive force generated in the above, the present invention is not limited to this. In short, any setting may be used as long as the outflow restriction state can be maintained by the magnetic force generated between the first magnetic body 86 and the second magnetic body 92. For example, the guide part facing surface 86a of the first magnetic body 86 and the stopper facing surface 92a of the second magnetic body 92 are set to the same magnetic pole, and the first magnetic body 86 and the second magnetic body 92 in the outflow restricted state are the same. If set so as to be positioned at a height, the opening / closing side protrusion 78 protrudes from the opening / closing side protrusion 78 to the upstream opening 35a by using the attractive force generated between the first magnetic body 86 and the second magnetic body 92. The protruding state can be maintained. Specifically, the opening / closing side stopper 78 is attracted to the opening / closing side guide portion 79 side by the attractive force generated between the first magnetic body 86 and the second magnetic body 92, and the guide piece 85 is pressed against the guide groove 89. Is done. A frictional force is generated between the guide piece 85 and the guide groove 89 due to the pressing force, and resists the weight of the open / close stopper 78. Accordingly, it is possible to prevent the inconvenience that the opening / closing side stopper 78 is inadvertently moved downward by its own weight, and that the gaming ball falls from the upstream opening 35a of the opening / closing side ball flow path 35.

なお、流出規制状態における第１磁性体８６と第２磁性体９２とが接触（吸着）するように設定すれば、第１磁性体８６と第２磁性体９２との間の摩擦力により開閉側ストッパー７８の自重に抗して流出規制状態を維持することができる。したがって、ガイド片８５とガイド溝８９とが押圧力により損傷すること、ひいては開閉側ストッパー７８が円滑にスライドできなくなる不都合を抑制することができて好適である。 Note that if the first magnetic body 86 and the second magnetic body 92 in the outflow restricted state are set to contact (adsorb), the frictional force between the first magnetic body 86 and the second magnetic body 92 causes the opening and closing side. The outflow restricted state can be maintained against the dead weight of the stopper 78. Therefore, it is preferable that the guide piece 85 and the guide groove 89 can be prevented from being damaged by the pressing force, and the inconvenience that the opening / closing side stopper 78 cannot be smoothly slid can be suppressed.

また、上記実施形態では、枠側ストッパー５２の枠側出没片５５および開閉側ストッパー７８の開閉側出没片８０をそれぞれ櫛歯状に設定したが、本発明はこれに限らず、枠側球流下路２５内の遊技球の流出や開閉側球流下路３５内の遊技球の流出を規制可能であれば、どのような構成であってもよい。さらに、ストッパー係合部は、開閉側ストッパー７８に設けることに限定されず、開閉側ストッパー７８と枠側ストッパー５２とを係合できればどのような構成であってもよい。例えば、枠側ストッパー５２に設けてもよい。そして、開閉側球流下路３５を備えた開閉体として球貯留空間部３３を備えた透明部材保持枠１１を例示したが、本発明はこれに限定されない。本発明における開閉体は、前面枠３に対して開閉可能であり、且つ遊技球を流下可能な構成要素を備えていればどのようなものでもよく、例えば、遊技球を貯留（流下）可能な球貯留皿を備え、透明部材保持枠１１とは別個に前面枠３へ軸着された球貯留ユニットであってもよい。 Moreover, in the said embodiment, although the frame side protrusion / disconnection piece 55 of the frame side stopper 52 and the opening / closing side protrusion / contraction piece 80 of the opening / closing side stopper 78 were each set in the comb-tooth shape, this invention is not limited to this, and the frame side ball falling Any configuration may be used as long as it is possible to regulate the outflow of game balls in the path 25 and the outflow of game balls in the open / close side ball flow down path 35. Furthermore, the stopper engaging portion is not limited to being provided in the opening / closing side stopper 78, and any configuration may be employed as long as the opening / closing side stopper 78 and the frame side stopper 52 can be engaged. For example, the frame side stopper 52 may be provided. And although the transparent member holding frame 11 provided with the ball storage space part 33 was illustrated as an opening / closing body provided with the opening / closing side ball flow path 35, the present invention is not limited to this. The opening / closing body in the present invention may be any one as long as it has a component that can be opened and closed with respect to the front frame 3 and can flow down the game ball. For example, it can store (flow down) the game ball. A sphere storage unit that includes a sphere storage tray and is pivotally attached to the front frame 3 separately from the transparent member holding frame 11 may be used.

そして、上記実施形態では、代表的な遊技機であるパチンコ遊技機を例にして説明したが、本発明はこれに限らず、前面枠と、該前面枠に対して開閉可能な開閉体と、該開閉体に設けられた開閉側球流下路と、前面枠側に設けられた枠側球流下路とを備え、開閉体を閉じると開閉側球流下路と枠側球流下路とが連通して、遊技球を枠側球流下路から開閉側球流下路へ流下可能となる遊技機であればどのような遊技機でもよい。例えば、アレンジボール式遊技機、雀球式遊技機等の遊技機であってもよい。 And in the said embodiment, although it demonstrated taking the case of the pachinko game machine which is a typical game machine, this invention is not limited to this, The opening / closing body which can be opened and closed with respect to this front frame, An opening / closing side ball flow path provided on the opening / closing body and a frame side ball flow path provided on the front frame side are provided, and the opening / closing side ball flow path and the frame side ball flow path communicate with each other when the opening / closing body is closed. Thus, any gaming machine may be used as long as it can flow the game ball from the frame-side ball flow path to the open / close-side ball flow path. For example, a gaming machine such as an arrangement ball type gaming machine or a sparrow ball type gaming machine may be used.

なお、前記した実施の形態は全ての点で例示であって制限的なものではないと考えられるべきである。本発明は、上記した説明に限らず特許請求の範囲によって示され、特許請求の範囲と均等の意味及び範囲内での全ての変更が含まれるものである。 It should be understood that the above-described embodiment is illustrative in all respects and not restrictive.
