ところで、近年、パチンコ遊技機にあっては、遊技の興趣を高めるため例えば遊技盤面に装着する可変表示装置やその他の装飾部品の大型化が顕著であり、これに伴い遊技盤も拡大化の一途を辿っている。このように、遊技盤が拡大化されるのはいいが、該遊技盤が装着される本体枠や該本体枠が取り付けられる機枠の大きさ、すなわちパチンコ遊技機の上下・左右方向の寸法はあらかじめ設定され決められている関係から、遊技盤の拡大化にも限界がある。また、パチンコ遊技機の一側である開放側に遊技盤の側端面と対応位置するようにして施錠装置が配置されるが、該施錠装置に遊技盤の拡大化の皺寄せが及んでおり、施錠装置にあってパチンコ遊技機を正面から見た左右方向と同じ方向の幅を少しでも薄く成形されるようにすることが望まれている。 By the way, in recent years, in pachinko machines, for example, the size of variable display devices and other decorative parts to be mounted on the surface of the game board has been remarkably increased in order to enhance the fun of the game. Is traced. In this way, it is good that the game board is enlarged, but the size of the main body frame to which the game board is mounted and the machine frame to which the main body frame is attached, that is, the vertical and horizontal dimensions of the pachinko gaming machine are There is a limit to the expansion of the game board because of the relationship established and determined in advance. In addition, the locking device is arranged on the open side, which is one side of the pachinko gaming machine, so as to be positioned corresponding to the side end surface of the game board. In the apparatus, it is desired that the width in the same direction as the left and right direction when the pachinko gaming machine is viewed from the front is formed to be as thin as possible.

そこで、本発明は前記課題に鑑みてなされたもので、施錠装置にあってパチンコ遊技機を正面から見た左右方向と同じ方向の幅を極力薄く形成するようにして、限られた範囲内で遊技盤のより一層の拡大化を図ることができる遊技機を提供することを目的とするものである。 Therefore, the present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and in the locking device, the pachinko gaming machine is formed as thin as possible in the same direction as the left-right direction when viewed from the front, and within a limited range. An object of the present invention is to provide a gaming machine capable of further expanding the gaming board.

かかる目的を達成するため本発明の遊技機は、方形枠状の機枠と該機枠の前面一側に開閉自在に軸着され遊技盤が配設される本体枠と該本体枠の前面であってその軸支側に開閉自在に軸着される透明板保持枠とを備え、開放側に施錠装置を設けた遊技機であって、前記施錠装置は、縦長かつ平板状に形成されると共にその板面が前後方向に沿うように配置され、組み込まれる錠の作動により上下動する帯板状の作動杆と、常には弾発手段により前記本体枠または前記透明板保持枠を施錠するように付勢されかつ前記作動杆の上下動作に伴い前記弾発手段の付勢に抗し連動して前記本体枠または前記透明板保持枠を開錠する平板状の掛止部材と、を有し、前記施錠装置における少なくとも前記遊技盤の前記開放側の側端面と対応する範囲では、前記作動杆と前記掛止部材とが前後方向で同一鉛直面内に配置されていることを特徴とする。 In order to achieve such an object, the gaming machine of the present invention includes a rectangular frame-shaped machine frame, a main body frame that is pivotally attached to one side of the front surface of the machine frame and is provided with a game board, and a front surface of the main body frame. And a transparent plate holding frame that is pivotally mounted on the shaft support side so as to be openable and closable, and is provided with a locking device on the open side, wherein the locking device is formed in a vertically long and flat plate shape. The plate surface is arranged along the front-rear direction, and the main plate frame or the transparent plate holding frame is always locked by the belt plate-like operating rod that moves up and down by the operation of the lock to be incorporated, and the elastic means. A plate-shaped latching member that is biased and unlocks the main body frame or the transparent plate holding frame in conjunction with the upward and downward movement of the operating rod in opposition to the biasing force of the elastic means, In a range corresponding to at least the side end surface of the game board in the locking device, Serial actuating rod and said engaging member is characterized in that it is arranged in the same vertical plane in the longitudinal direction.

前記弾発手段は、線材を平面内で屈曲しかつ該平面内で伸縮するようにしたバネであることが好ましい。 The elastic means is preferably a spring that bends the wire in a plane and expands and contracts in the plane.

前記バネは、平面内で屈曲しかつ該平面内で伸縮するネジリコイルバネであることが好ましい。 The spring is preferably a torsion coil spring that bends in a plane and expands and contracts in the plane.

本発明に係る遊技機は、開放側に施錠装置を設けた遊技機であって、施錠装置が縦長かつ平板状に形成されると共にその板面が前後方向に沿うように配置され、組み込まれる錠の作動により上下動する帯板状の作動杆と、常には弾発手段により本体枠または透明板保持枠を施錠するように付勢されかつ作動杆の上下動作に伴い弾発手段の付勢に抗し連動して本体枠または透明板保持枠を開錠する平板状の掛止部材と、を有し、施錠装置における少なくとも遊技盤の前記開放側の側端面と対応する範囲では、作動杆と掛止部材とが前後方向で同一鉛直面内に配置されるようにした。このように、作動杆と各掛止部材とが同一鉛直面内に配置されるので、その分施錠装置にあって遊技機を正面から見た左右方向と同じ方向の幅が狭められ、施錠装置が薄型に形成される。これにより、限られた範囲内で遊技盤のより一層の拡大化を図ることができるという効果がある。 The gaming machine according to the present invention is a gaming machine provided with a locking device on the open side, the locking device is formed in a vertically long and flat plate shape, and its plate surface is arranged along the front-rear direction and incorporated therein.

A plate-like latching member that unlocks the main body frame or the transparent plate holding frame in an interlocking manner, and in a range corresponding to at least the open side end surface of the game board in the locking device, The latch member is arranged in the same vertical plane in the front-rear direction. In this way, since the operating rod and each latching member are arranged in the same vertical plane, the width in the same direction as the left-right direction when the gaming machine is viewed from the front in the corresponding locking device is reduced, and the locking device Is formed thin. Thereby, there is an effect that the game board can be further expanded within a limited range.

また、この際、弾発手段として線材を平面内で屈曲しかつ該平面内で伸縮するようにしたバネとすることによって、前記作動杆と各掛止部材を同一鉛直面内に配置したことと重なり、施錠装置の更なる薄型が可能になり、その分遊技盤の拡大化に寄与する。弾発手段としては、好適なものとして例えば平面内で屈曲しかつ該平面内で伸縮するネジリコイルバネがある。 Further, at this time, the operating rod and each of the latching members are arranged in the same vertical plane by using a spring in which the wire is bent in a plane and expanded and contracted in the plane as a resilient means. Overlap, the locking device can be made thinner, contributing to the expansion of the game board. As the elastic means, for example, there is a torsion coil spring that is bent in a plane and expands and contracts in the plane.

前記内側カバー１６は、内カバー板１６ａの前端縁に内側へ直角に屈曲する厚幅板１６ｂが設けられ、該厚幅板１６ｂの先端縁が外側カバー１７の前端縁に当接することになる。この厚幅板１６ｂには、その上下方向に沿って所定の間隔離しかつ少し内カバー板１６ａに掛かるようにして、掛止部材としての後記する第一乃至三下向係止部材２１ａ，２１ｂ，２１ｃの先端部を前方へ突出させるための第一乃至三通孔１９ａ，１９ｂ，１９ｃが開設される。また、第二通孔１９ｂと第三通孔１９ｃとの間に、作動杆１８における一側面下部の前端縁に突設されたカム受片４６が介入する切欠口２０が開設される。 The inner cover 16 is provided with a thick-width plate 16b bent at a right angle to the front end edge of the inner cover plate 16a, and the leading edge of the thick-width plate 16b comes into contact with the front end edge of the outer cover 17. The thick width plate 16b is separated by a predetermined distance along the vertical direction and is slightly hung on the inner cover plate 16a so as to be described below as first to third downward locking members 21a, 21b, First to three through holes 19a, 19b, and 19c are provided for projecting the tip of 21c forward. In addition, a notch 20 is formed between the second through hole 19b and the third through hole 19c in which the cam receiving piece 46 projecting from the front end edge of the lower side surface of the operating rod 18 intervenes.

内側カバー１６における内側面であってかつ前端側の上下方向に沿って三個の第一乃至三下向係止部材２１ａ，２１ｂ，２１ｃが配設され、同じく内側カバー１６における内側面であって後端側の上下方向に沿って二個の第一・二上向係止部材２２ａ，２２ｂが配設される。第一乃至三下向係止部材２１ａ，２１ｂ，２１ｃは、縦長の長方形状の基板２３の上部前端縁に下向きの鉤片部２４が突設され、上部後端縁に後方へ突出する突部２５が一体に設けられている。基板２３の中央部には、上下方向に沿ってスライド長孔２６が開設される。このスライド長孔２６は下部の溝幅が上部の溝幅よりも広く形成され、次に説明するピン２７がスライド長孔２６における下部の広幅溝部に挿通される。そして、ピン２７はスライド長孔２６、正確には該スライド長孔２６における下部の広幅溝部、に挿通した状態で内側カバー１６にカシメ着される。これにより、各第一乃至三下向係止部材２１ａ，２１ｂ，２１ｃが、ピン２７に沿って上下動することになる。 Three first to three downward locking members 21a, 21b, and 21c are arranged along the vertical direction of the front end side on the inner side surface of the inner cover 16, and are also the inner side surfaces of the inner cover 16. Two first and second upward locking members 22a and 22b are arranged along the vertical direction on the rear end side. The first to three downward locking members 21a, 21b, and 21c have protrusions 24 protruding downward at the upper rear end edge, with a downward flange portion 24 protruding from the upper front end edge of the vertically long rectangular substrate 23. 25 is provided integrally. In the central part of the substrate 23, a slide long hole 26 is formed along the vertical direction. The slide long hole 26 has a lower groove width wider than the upper groove width, and a pin 27 described below is inserted into the lower wide groove portion of the slide long hole 26. The pin 27 is caulked to the inner cover 16 in a state where the pin 27 is inserted into the slide long hole 26, more precisely, the lower wide groove portion in the slide long hole 26. As a result, the first to third downward locking members 21 a, 21 b and 21 c move up and down along the pins 27.

この際、各第一乃至三下向係止部材２１ａ，２１ｂ，２１ｃと内側カバー１６とに架け渡すようにして、弾発手段としてのネジリコイルバネ２８が装着される。該ネジリコイルバネ２８は、線材を平面内で屈曲しかつ該平面内で伸縮するようになっており、巻回したコイル部２８ａから延出する二本の支杆２８ｂ，２８ｂの先端をそれぞれ第一乃至三下向係止部材２１ａ，２１ｂ，２１ｃの基板２３上部に開設された係止孔２９と内側カバー１６の内カバー板１６ａに開設された係止孔３０に挿入する。これにより、ネジリコイルバネ２８の弾発力によって、第一乃至三下向係止部材２１ａ，２１ｂ，２１ｃがそれぞれ下方へ付勢されることになる。 At this time, a torsion coil spring 28 as a resilient means is mounted so as to span the first to third downward locking members 21a, 21b, 21c and the inner cover 16. The torsion coil spring 28 bends the wire in a plane and expands and contracts in the plane. The ends of the two supports 28b and 28b extending from the wound coil portion 28a are respectively first. Or inserted into the locking holes 29 formed in the upper part of the substrate 23 of the three downward locking members 21a, 21b, 21c and the locking holes 30 formed in the inner cover plate 16a of the inner cover 16. Accordingly, the first to three downward locking members 21a, 21b, and 21c are respectively urged downward by the elastic force of the torsion coil spring 28.

一方、内側カバー１６における内側面にあって後端側の上下方向に沿って配設される二個の第一・二上向係止部材２２ａ，２２ｂは、縦長の基板３１の下部の後端縁に側面Ｌ字型をなすように上向きの鉤片部３２が突設されており、基板３１の中央部には上下方向に沿ってスライド長孔３３が開設される。このスライド長孔３３は下部の溝幅よりも上部の溝幅の方が広く形成されており、ピン３４がそのスライド長孔３３における上部の広幅溝部に挿通される。そして、各ピン３４はスライド長孔３３、正確には該スライド長孔３３における上部の広幅溝部、に挿通した状態で内側カバー１６にカシメ着される。これにより、各第一・二上向係止部材２２ａ，２２ｂがピン３４に沿って上下動することになる。 On the other hand, the two first and second upward locking members 22a and 22b disposed on the inner side surface of the inner cover 16 along the vertical direction on the rear end side are the rear end of the lower portion of the vertically long substrate 31. An upward flange portion 32 projects from the edge so as to form a side L-shape, and a slide long hole 33 is formed in the central portion of the substrate 31 along the vertical direction.

本発明に係るパチンコ遊技機Ｐは上記構成からなり、次に作用を説明する。機枠１に本体枠２が施錠されかつ本体枠２に透明板保持枠３が施錠され、共に閉じられている状態では、図７（イ）に示すようにネジリコイルバネ２８の付勢により施錠装置Ａにおける前端縁側の第一乃至三下向係止部材２１ａ，２１ｂ，２１ｃがそれぞれ透明板保持枠３の一側裏面に設けられた保持枠係合金具１３，１３，１３に上から係合している。また、ネジリコイルバネ２８の付勢により後端縁側の第一・二上向係止部材２２ａ，２２ｂが、それぞれ機枠１の一側の内側面に設けられた機枠係合金具１２，１２に下から係合している。 The pachinko gaming machine P according to the present invention has the above configuration, and the operation will be described next. When the main body frame 2 is locked to the machine frame 1 and the transparent plate holding frame 3 is locked to the main body frame 2 and both are closed, the locking device is actuated by the bias of the torsion coil spring 28 as shown in FIG. The first through three downward locking members 21a, 21b, 21c on the front edge side in A are engaged from above with holding frame engagement fittings 13, 13, 13 provided on the one side back surface of the transparent plate holding frame 3, respectively. ing. Further, the first and second upward locking members 22a and 22b on the rear edge side are urged to the machine frame engagement fittings 12 and 12 provided on the inner surface on one side of the machine frame 1 by the bias of the torsion coil spring 28, respectively. It is engaged from below.

そこで、例えば透明板保持枠３を開放する場合は、パチンコ遊技機Ｐの前側からシリンダー錠４８の鍵穴５２に鍵（図示せず。）を差し込んで反時計回り方向へ回動させる。これに伴い、図７（ロ）に示すようにシリンダー錠４８の錠軸４８ａと共にカム片５１が同じ方向へ回動し、カム片５１の下部爪５１ｂがカム受片４６を上方へ押し上げる。また、カム受片４６と共に作動杆１８が押し上げられ、作動杆１８の前端側では各水平押上部４０，４０及び水平段部４３が第一乃至三下向係止部材２１ａ，２１ｂ，２１ｃを押し上げ、各鉤片部２４と各保持枠係合金具１３との係合を解く。これにより、透明板保持枠３が開放できることになる。この際、作動杆１８が上動しても、第一・二上向係止部材２２ａ，２２ｂは上方へ付勢されており、しかも、第一・二上向係止部材２２ａ，２２ｂと機枠係合金具１２，１２とが係合したままであって、第一・二上向係止部材２２ａ，２２ｂの上端面３１ａと作動杆１８の水平押下部４５とが離れるのみである。よって、第一・二上向係止部材２２ａ，２２ｂと機枠係合金具１２，１２との係合状態が解かれることはない。 Therefore, for example, when the transparent plate holding frame 3 is opened, a key (not shown) is inserted into the key hole 52 of the cylinder lock 48 from the front side of the pachinko gaming machine P and rotated counterclockwise. Accordingly, as shown in FIG. 7B, the cam piece 51 rotates together with the lock shaft 48a of the cylinder lock 48 in the same direction, and the lower pawl 51b of the cam piece 51 pushes the cam receiving piece 46 upward. Further, the operating rod 18 is pushed up together with the cam receiving piece 46, and on the front end side of the operating rod 18, the horizontal push-up portions 40, 40 and the horizontal stepped portion 43 push up the first to three downward locking members 21a, 21b, 21c. Then, the engagement between each flange 24 and each holding frame engagement fitting 13 is released. Thereby, the transparent plate holding frame 3 can be opened. At this time, even if the operating rod 18 moves upward, the first and second upward locking members 22a and 22b are biased upward, and the first and second upward locking members 22a and 22b The frame engagement fittings 12 and 12 remain engaged, and the upper end surfaces 31a of the first and second upward locking members 22a and 22b are only separated from the horizontal pressing portion 45 of the operating rod 18. Therefore, the engagement state between the first and second upward locking members 22a and 22b and the machine frame engagement fittings 12 and 12 is not released.

透明板保持枠３が前側へ開放されれば、鍵を元の位置に戻す。これにより、作動杆１８が元の位置に下動し第一乃至三下向係止部材２１ａ，２１ｂ，２１ｃも付勢により可動して元の位置に戻る。また、第一・二上向係止部材２２ａ，２２ｂの上端面３１ａと作動杆１８の各水平押下部４５とが当接する。開放された透明板保持枠３は、そのまま本体枠２側へ押すことにより、各保持枠係合金具１３の上端縁が第一乃至三下向係止部材２１ａ，２１ｂ，２１ｃの鉤片部２４の前端縁に当接する。該鉤片部２４の前端縁は側面、すなわちパチンコ遊技機Ｐの側面、から見た場合、後方へ進むに従い漸次下方へ下がるように傾斜している。よって、鉤片部２４の傾斜面２４ａに前記保持枠係合金具１３の上端縁が当接することにより、各第一乃至三下向係止部材２１ａ，２１ｂ，２１ｃが押し上げられ、最終的に第一乃至三下向係止部材２１ａ，２１ｂ，２１ｃと各保持枠係合金具１３とが自動的に係合することになる。 When the transparent plate holding frame 3 is opened to the front side, the key is returned to the original position. As a result, the operating rod 18 is moved downward to the original position, and the first to third downward locking members 21a, 21b, and 21c are also moved by urging and returned to the original position. Further, the upper end surfaces 31a of the first and second upward locking members 22a and 22b are in contact with the horizontal pressing portions 45 of the operating rod 18. The opened transparent plate holding frame 3 is pushed to the main body frame 2 side as it is, so that the upper end edge of each holding frame engaging bracket 13 has a flange portion 24 of the first to third downward locking members 21a, 21b, 21c. It contacts the front edge of the. When viewed from the side surface, that is, the side surface of the pachinko gaming machine P, the front end edge of the flange piece portion 24 is inclined so as to gradually descend downward as it advances backward. Therefore, when the upper end edge of the holding frame engagement fitting 13 comes into contact with the inclined surface 24a of the hook piece 24, the first to third downward locking members 21a, 21b, 21c are pushed up, and finally the first One to three downward locking members 21a, 21b, 21c and the respective holding frame engagement fittings 13 are automatically engaged.

次に、例えば透明板保持枠３を閉めたまま本体枠２を開放する場合は、前記と同様にパチンコ遊技機Ｐの前側からシリンダー錠４８の鍵穴５２に鍵を差し込んで時計回り方向へ回動させる。これに伴い、図７（ハ）に示すようにシリンダー錠４８の錠軸４８ａと共にカム片５１が同じ方向へ回動し、カム片５１の上部爪５１ａがカム受片４６を下方へ押し下げる。また、カム受片４６と共に作動杆１８が下動し、作動杆１８の後端側で各水平押下部４５，４５が第一・二上向係止部材２２ａ，２２ｂを押し下げ、各鉤片部３２と各機枠係合金具１２との係合を解く。これにより、本体枠２が開放できることになる。この際、作動杆１８が下動しても、第一乃至三下向係止部材２１ａ，２１ｂ，２１ｃは下方へ付勢されており、しかも、第一乃至三下向係止部材２１ａ，２１ｂ，２１ｃと保持枠係合金具１３，１３，１３とが係合したままであって、第一乃至三下向係止部材２１ａ，２１ｂの下端面２３ａと作動杆１８の水平押上部４０，４０及び水平段部４３と突部２５が離れるのみである。よって、第一乃至三下向係止部材２１ａ，２１ｂ，２１ｃと保持枠係合金具１３，１３，１３との係合状態が解かれることはない。 Next, for example, when opening the main body frame 2 with the transparent plate holding frame 3 closed, the key is inserted into the key hole 52 of the cylinder lock 48 from the front side of the pachinko gaming machine P and rotated in the clockwise direction as described above. Let Accordingly, as shown in FIG. 7C, the cam piece 51 rotates in the same direction together with the lock shaft 48a of the cylinder lock 48, and the upper claw 51a of the cam piece 51 pushes the cam receiving piece 46 downward. In addition, the operating rod 18 moves downward together with the cam receiving piece 46, and the horizontal pressing portions 45, 45 push down the first and second upward locking members 22a, 22b on the rear end side of the operating rod 18, so 32 is disengaged from each machine frame engagement fitting 12. Thereby, the main body frame 2 can be opened. At this time, even if the operating rod 18 moves downward, the first to three downward locking members 21a, 21b, 21c are biased downward, and the first to three downward locking members 21a, 21b. 21c and the holding frame engagement fittings 13, 13, 13 are still engaged, and the lower end surface 23a of the first to third downward locking members 21a, 21b and the horizontal push-up portions 40, 40 of the operating rod 18 are retained. And only the horizontal step 43 and the protrusion 25 are separated. Therefore, the engagement state between the first to third downward locking members 21a, 21b, and 21c and the holding frame engagement fittings 13, 13, and 13 is not released.

本体枠２が前側へ開放されれば、鍵を元の位置に戻す。これにより、作動杆１８が元の位置に上動し第一・二上向係止部材２２ａ，２２ｂも付勢により可動して元の位置に戻る。また、第一乃至二下向係止部材２１ａ，２１ｂの下端面２３ａと作動杆１８の水平押上部４０及び水平段部４３と突部２５が当接する。開放された本体枠２は、そのまま機枠１側へ押すことにより、各機枠係合金具１２の下端縁が第一・二上向係止部材２２ａ，２２ｂの鉤片部３２の前端縁に当接する。該鉤片部３２の前端縁は側面、すなわちパチンコ遊技機Ｐの側面、から見た場合、前方へ進むに従い漸次上方へ上がるように傾斜している。よって、鉤片部３２の傾斜面３２ａに前記機枠係合金具１２の下端縁が当接することにより、第一・二上向係止部材２２ａ，２２ｂが押し下げられ、最終的に第一・二上向係止部材２２ａ，２２ｂと各機枠係合金具１２，１２とが自動的に係合することになる。 When the main body frame 2 is opened to the front side, the key is returned to the original position. As a result, the operating rod 18 moves upward to the original position, and the first and second upward locking members 22a and 22b move by urging and return to the original position. Further, the lower end surface 23a of the first or second downward locking members 21a and 21b and the horizontal push-up portion 40 and the horizontal step portion 43 of the operating rod 18 are in contact with the protrusion 25. The opened main body frame 2 is pushed to the machine frame 1 as it is, so that the lower end edge of each machine frame engagement fitting 12 is brought to the front end edge of the flange part 32 of the first and second upward locking members 22a and 22b. Abut. When viewed from the side surface, that is, the side surface of the pachinko gaming machine P, the front end edge of the hook piece portion 32 is inclined so as to gradually rise upward as it advances forward. Therefore, the first and second upward locking members 22a and 22b are pushed down when the lower end edge of the machine frame engagement fitting 12 comes into contact with the inclined surface 32a of the flange portion 32, and finally the first and second locking members 22a and 22b are pushed down. The upward locking members 22a and 22b are automatically engaged with the machine frame engagement fittings 12 and 12, respectively.

本発明にあっては、作動杆１８に対して第一乃至三下向係止部材２１ａ，２１ｂ，２１ｃ及び第一・二上向係止部材２２ａ，２２ｂがそれぞれ所定の位置に配置され、しかも、互いに前後方向で同一鉛直面内で係合するようにしている。この前後方向とは、本体枠２の前面に対して直交する面のみではなく平面的に見て左右に少し傾斜する場合も含む。しかしながら、問題となるのは施錠装置Ａにあって遊技盤４における開放側の側端面４ｂと対応する範囲であるから、少なくともその範囲内に含まれる係止部材についてのみ作動杆１８と前後方向であって同一鉛直面内で係合すれば良い。遊技盤４における開放側の側端面４ｂと対応する範囲とは、遊技盤４がそのままパチンコ遊技機Ｐを正面から見て右側かつ上方へ拡大化した場合に、その拡大化の邪魔にならない範囲を言う。そのためには、拡大化された場合の遊技盤４における開放側の側端面４ｂを施錠装置Ａ側へ投影して、作動杆１８、第一乃至三下向係止部材２１ａ，２１ｂ，２１ｃ及び第一・二上向係止部材２２ａ，２２ｂであってその影に含まれる部位は同一面内に配置する必要がある。よって、例えば施錠装置Ａの下端部に位置し前記範囲外に位置する第三下向係止部材２１ｃにあっては、作動杆１８と同一鉛直面内に配置されてなくても差し支えないことになる。また、弾性手段としてのネジリコイルバネ２８についても、少なくとも遊技盤４における開放側の側端面４ｂと対応する範囲に位置するネジリコイルバネ２８についてのみその形状を平面的に薄く形成すれば良い。 In the present invention, the first to three downward locking members 21a, 21b and 21c and the first and second upward locking members 22a and 22b are respectively arranged at predetermined positions with respect to the operating rod 18. The two are engaged with each other in the same vertical plane in the front-rear direction. The front-rear direction includes not only a plane orthogonal to the front surface of the main body frame 2 but also a case where it is slightly inclined left and right when viewed in plan. However, since the problem is in the locking device A and in the range corresponding to the open side end surface 4b of the game board 4, at least the locking member included in the range in the operation rod 18 and the front-rear direction. Therefore, they may be engaged within the same vertical plane. The range corresponding to the open side end surface 4b of the game board 4 is a range that does not interfere with the enlargement when the game board 4 is enlarged rightward and upward when the pachinko gaming machine P is enlarged as it is from the front. say. For that purpose, the side surface 4b on the open side of the game board 4 when enlarged is projected onto the locking device A side, and the operating rod 18, first to three downward locking members 21a, 21b, 21c and the first The parts included in the shadows of the one or two upward locking members 22a and 22b need to be arranged in the same plane. Therefore, for example, in the third downward locking member 21c located at the lower end portion of the locking device A and located outside the range, it does not matter if it is not arranged in the same vertical plane as the operating rod 18. Become. Also, the torsion coil spring 28 as the elastic means may be formed thin in a planar manner only for the torsion coil spring 28 located at least in a range corresponding to the open side end surface 4b of the game board 4.

このように、本発明に係るパチンコ遊技機Ｐは、開放側に施錠装置Ａを設けており、該施錠装置Ａが、縦長かつ平板状に形成されその板面が前後方向に沿うように配置されかつ組み込まれたシリンダー錠４８の作動により上下動する作動杆１８と、上下方向に可動すると共にネジリコイルバネ２８により作動杆１８側へ付勢され該作動杆１８の動作と連動して本体枠２と透明板保持枠３とを開閉自在に施錠するための平板状の第一乃至三下向係止部材２１ａ，２１ｂ，２１ｃ及び第一・二上向係止部材２２ａ，２２ｂと、を有する。そして、少なくとも遊技盤４における開放側の側端面４ｂと対応する範囲では、作動杆１８と第一乃至三下向係止部材２１ａ，２１ｂ，２１ｃ及び第一・二上向係止部材２２ａ，２２ｂとが前後方向で同一鉛直面内に配置されている。このように、作動杆１８と第一乃至三下向係止部材２１ａ，２１ｂ，２１ｃ及び第一・二上向係止部材２２ａ，２２ｂとが同一鉛直面内に配置されるので、その分施錠装置Ａにあってパチンコ遊技機Ｐを正面から見た左右方向と同じ方向の幅を狭めることができて施錠装置Ａが極力薄型に形成される。 As described above, the pachinko gaming machine P according to the present invention is provided with the locking device A on the open side, and the locking device A is formed in a vertically long and flat plate shape so that its plate surface is along the front-rear direction. An operating rod 18 that moves up and down by the operation of the incorporated cylinder lock 48, and a body frame 2 that moves in the vertical direction and is urged toward the operating rod 18 by a torsion coil spring 28 in conjunction with the operation of the operating rod 18. It has flat plate-shaped first to three downward locking members 21a, 21b, 21c and first and second upward locking members 22a, 22b for locking the transparent plate holding frame 3 so as to be freely opened and closed. At least in the range corresponding to the open side end face 4b of the game board 4, the operating rod 18, first to three downward locking members 21a, 21b, 21c and first and second upward locking members 22a, 22b. Are arranged in the same vertical plane in the front-rear direction. Thus, since the operating rod 18, the first to three downward locking members 21a, 21b, 21c and the first and second upward locking members 22a, 22b are arranged in the same vertical plane, the corresponding locks are provided. In the device A, the width in the same direction as the left-right direction when the pachinko gaming machine P is viewed from the front can be reduced, and the locking device A is formed as thin as possible.

また、この際、弾発手段として平面内で屈曲しかつ該平面内で伸縮するネジリコイルバネ２８を使用しているので、該ネジリコイルバネ２８も平面的に薄く形成されることから、作動杆１８と同一面内に含ませることができる。よって、これによっても施錠装置Ａを極力薄くできる。この種弾発手段としては、線材を平面内で屈曲しかつ該平面内で伸縮するようにしたバネであれば良く、例えば線細工バネがある。 At this time, since the torsion coil spring 28 that is bent in the plane and expands and contracts in the plane is used as the resilient means, the torsion coil spring 28 is also formed thin on the plane. It can be included in the same plane. Therefore, the locking device A can be made as thin as possible. The seed bullet emitting means may be a spring that bends the wire in a plane and expands and contracts in the plane, for example, a wire work spring.

前記本体枠２における開放側の側壁２ａは、図２、図８に示すように平面的に見て前側へ進むに従い漸次外側へ広がるように形成されている。そして、該側壁２ａと機枠１との間に位置して施錠装置Ａが該側壁２ａの外面に重ね合わさるように取着されることになる。また、施錠装置Ａも平面的に見て前側が外側へ開くように傾斜させて配置される。これにより、パチンコ遊技機Ｐの前面に対して直交するように配置される本体枠２における開放側の側壁２ａや施錠装置Ａと比較して、その分遊技盤４が配設される部位であって開放側、すなわちパチンコ遊技機Ｐを正面から見て右側の側壁２ａの内側、にスペース的な余裕が生まれる。よって、これにより限られた範囲内で遊技盤４のより一層の拡大化を図ることができる。 As shown in FIGS. 2 and 8, the open side wall 2a of the main body frame 2 is formed so as to gradually spread outward as it proceeds to the front side as viewed in a plan view. The locking device A is attached between the side wall 2a and the machine frame 1 so as to overlap the outer surface of the side wall 2a. Further, the locking device A is also arranged so as to be inclined so that the front side opens outward as seen in a plan view. As a result, compared to the open side wall 2a and the locking device A in the main body frame 2 arranged so as to be orthogonal to the front surface of the pachinko gaming machine P, the game board 4 is correspondingly disposed. Thus, a space is created on the open side, that is, on the inner side of the right side wall 2a when the pachinko gaming machine P is viewed from the front. Therefore, the game board 4 can be further expanded within a limited range.

この際、施錠装置Ａが本体枠２における側壁２ａの外面に取着された状態で本体枠２の軸支部Ｏを中心として回動するので、該本体枠２の開閉動作に伴い該施錠装置Ａが機枠１における同じ側の縦枠１ａの内側面１ｂに当たるようなことがあってはならない。このため、該本体枠２が支えて回動し得ないといった支障の生じない範囲を考慮して、この施錠装置Ａの傾斜度合いは、図２に示すように該本体枠２の軸支部Ｏを中心とする円弧軌跡Ｃを描いた場合、機枠１一側の縦杆１ａの内側面１ｂに接触しない範囲で最大半径の円弧軌跡Ｃを描き、施錠装置Ａがその最大半径の円弧軌跡Ｃよりも外側へ食み出ない範囲で設定され、該施錠装置Ａの取付位置が決まる。 At this time, since the locking device A is pivoted around the pivotal support portion O of the main body frame 2 in a state where the locking device A is attached to the outer surface of the side wall 2a of the main body frame 2, the locking device A is accompanied with the opening / closing operation of the main body frame 2. Should not hit the inner surface 1b of the vertical frame 1a on the same side of the machine frame 1. For this reason, in consideration of a range in which the main body frame 2 cannot be supported and cannot be rotated, the degree of inclination of the locking device A is such that the shaft support portion O of the main body frame 2 is set as shown in FIG. When the arc trajectory C as the center is drawn, the arc trajectory C having the maximum radius is drawn in a range not contacting the inner surface 1b of the vertical rod 1a on the one side of the machine frame 1, and the locking device A uses the arc trajectory C having the maximum radius. Is set within a range that does not protrude outward, and the mounting position of the locking device A is determined.

また、前記施錠装置Ａにおける作動杆１８もその前端縁に設けられた窪み部４１、切欠部４２と後端縁に設けられた一対の凹部４４，４４をそれぞれ前後方向で互いに重ならないようにジグザグ状に設け、該作動杆１８の前後方向の幅を極力狭めるようにしている。これにより、施錠装置Ａ自体の前後方向の幅を狭めることができ、前記円弧軌跡Ｃの内側という制限されたスペースにも設置し易い。 The operating rod 18 in the locking device A is also zigzag so that the recess 41 provided at the front edge, the notch 42 and the pair of recesses 44 provided at the rear edge do not overlap each other in the front-rear direction. The width of the operating rod 18 in the front-rear direction is reduced as much as possible. Thereby, the width | variety of the front-back direction of locking device A itself can be narrowed, and it is easy to install in the restricted space inside the said circular arc locus C.

本発明に係るパチンコ遊技機Ｐにあっては、施錠装置Ａ側の掛止部材としての第一乃至三下向係止部材２１ａ，２１ｂ，２１ｃ及び第一・二上向係止部材２２ａ，２２ｂにそれぞれ鉤片部２４，３２を設け、機枠１及び透明板保持枠３側の掛止部材としての機枠係合金具１２、保持枠係合金具１３は該鉤片部２４，３２が係合できるような構成としている。これに対し、逆に、機枠係合金具１２、保持枠係合金具１３に固定される鉤片部を設け、施錠装置Ａ側の第一乃至三下向係止部材２１ａ，２１ｂ，２１ｃ及び第一・二上向係止部材２２ａ，２２ｂの鉤片部２４，３２を削除し、前記各鉤片部を施錠装置Ａ側の第一乃至三下向係止部材２１ａ，２１ｂ，２１ｃ及び第一・二上向係止部材２２ａ，２２ｂに掛止するようにしても良い。また、施錠装置Ａを本体枠２に取着した場合を説明したが、これ以外に施錠装置Ａを機枠１または透明板保持枠３に取着した遊技機であっても、本発明が適用できることは勿論である。更に、錠として鍵を使うシリンダー錠を示したが、鍵を使用しない所謂電子錠を組み込んだ施錠装置を備える遊技機にも本発明が適用できる。 In the pachinko gaming machine P according to the present invention, the first to third downward locking members 21a, 21b, 21c and the first and second upward locking members 22a, 22b as the locking members on the locking device A side.

The configuration is such that it can be matched. In contrast, a hook piece fixed to the machine frame engaging metal 12 and the holding frame engaging metal 13 is provided, and the first to three downward locking members 21a, 21b, 21c on the locking device A side are provided. The flange portions 24 and 32 of the first and second upward locking members 22a and 22b are deleted, and the first and third downward locking members 21a, 21b and 21c and the first locking members 21a, 21b and 21c on the locking device A side are removed. You may make it latch on the 1 or 2 upward locking members 22a and 22b. Moreover, although the case where the locking device A was attached to the main body frame 2 was described, the present invention can be applied even to a gaming machine in which the locking device A is attached to the machine frame 1 or the transparent plate holding frame 3. Of course you can. Furthermore, although a cylinder lock using a key as a lock is shown, the present invention can also be applied to a gaming machine including a locking device incorporating a so-called electronic lock that does not use a key.
