が面倒である等の問題があった。In the above-mentioned pachinko gaming machine, the members which are required or desired to be attached and detached, and the protective cover of the mechanism panel, as well as screws, are generally used as mounting tools. In addition to a rotary lever-shaped stopper that is screwed or shaft-fixed, it is also commonly called a “latch” having an opening / closing engagement nut and an operation knob for an engagement hole on the protective cover side. It is assembled using a lock. However, in the former tool, even though it is relatively inexpensive, it is difficult to hold the protective cover stably because the engaging force and the tightening force are weakened due to a change over time, so that many arrangements are required. Conversely, if the tightening force is strengthened, there is an inconvenience that the turning operation of the stopper itself becomes difficult. On the other hand, with the latter tool, even if it is possible to lock it relatively stably, it becomes unexpectedly expensive because it is a combination tool of two or more parts, and special equipment and tools are required especially for assembling the tool itself to the protective cover. However, there is a problem that the assembly cannot be performed by a fingertip operation by an unskilled person and the handling is troublesome.

き等を防止することができる。 In the detachable locking device, the locking key is rotated by rotating the locking key in a state where the attaching / detaching member having the locking key attached to the supporting portion is held at a predetermined position on the game board or the mechanical panel. Since the lock receiving portion is firmly engaged with the lock receiving portion, the detachable member can be stably fixedly set at a predetermined position by a simple fingertip operation. Moreover, according to the locking mode of the key portion and the lock receiving portion in the detachable locking device, the engaging force and the tightening force do not weaken over time, so that even a heavy detachable member can be used for a long time. It can be stably immobilized and maintained throughout. Further, between the two support pieces in the support portion
At the required position for positioning with respect to the locking key.
A piece and an elastically deformable engaging portion are formed,
The tool can be elastically disengaged from the engaging portion by contacting the locking piece.
A semicircular engaging element is formed so as to protrude. This allows
The engaging member of the locking key is an inner surface of a locking piece of the support portion.
And held in the unlocked position in a state of engaging with the inside of the engaging portion,
Further, the locking key engages with the outer surface of the locking piece, and
Hold the lock in the locked position with the hook engaging the outside of the engagement section.
As a result, easy fluctuations due to vibration and the like are suppressed. This
As described above, for positioning by the locking piece and the engaging portion and the engaging element,
In the unlocked position and the locked position using the restriction holding means
Can be adjusted manually when locking the locking receiver and the locking key.
It is quick and easy, and also keeps the locked state of both sides stable
And looseness against vibration, etc.
Can be prevented.
