Description

【0001】
【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は、ランプを遊技機の本体又は部品に取り付ける遊技機のランプ取付装置に関するものである。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
近年のパチンコ機は、遊技盤のデザインの多様化に伴い、種々のイルミネーション機能を備えており、例えば、入賞装置にランプを内蔵したものがある。このランプの取付構造としては、例えば特許第2519457号公報に示すものがある。このものは、図8に示すように、電源用リード線1を半田付けした配線基板2のスルーホール3にランプ端子4を差し込んで半田付けすると共に、ランプ5を保持するゴム製ランプホルダ6に形成された接続孔7をランプ端子4に差し込むことで、ランプ5を配線基板2上に取り付けるようにしている。
【0003】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
しかしながら、上記従来の構成では、ランプ5と電源用リード線1との接続に配線基板2を用いるため、配線基板2とリード線1及び配線基板2とランプ端子4とを半田付けする必要があり、このような半田付け作業に手間がかかり、作業性が悪いという欠点がある。更に、配線基板2の配線導体が露出しているため、組付作業時や保守点検作業時に、配線導体や、配線導体とリード線1との半田付け部及び配線導体とランプ端子4との半田付け部を、損傷させてしまうおそれもあり、接続不良が発生しやすいという欠点もある。
【0004】
本発明はこのような事情を考慮してなされたものであり、従ってその目的は、配線基板を用いなくてもランプと電源用リード線とを電気的に接続することができると共に、ランプと電源用リード線との接続不良を防止することができ、組付性及び信頼性を向上することができる遊技機のランプ取付装置を提供することにある。
【0005】
【課題を解決するための手段】
上記目的を達成するために、本発明の請求項1の遊技機のランプ取付装置は、2個の接続孔が形成されたランプホルダを有する複数のランプと、先端に端子が接続された2本の電源用リード線と、遊技機の本体又は部品に取り付けられるホルダ部材とを備え、ホルダ部材は、導電性金属板により形成された2つの導電部材を樹脂でカバーして構成し、2本の電源用リード線の端子を2つの導電部材に1本ずつ導通した状態で差し込み保持する2個の保持部を前記ホルダ部材に設け、2つの導電部材にそれぞれ複数個の嵌合孔を形成すると共に、各嵌合孔にランプ端子を圧入することで、2つの導電部材にそれぞれ複数個のランプ端子を電気的に接続した状態で立設し、複数のランプをホルダ部材に組み付ける際に、各々のランプのランプホルダの2つの接続孔を2つの導電部材のランプ端子に差し込むと共に、2本の電源用リード線の端子を2個の保持部に差し込み保持することで、複数のランプを2本の電源用リード線と電気的に接続した状態でホルダ部材に組み付ける構成としたものである。
【0006】
この構成によれば、配線基板を用いる必要がなく、複数のランプの接続孔をホルダ部材の各ランプ端子に差し込み、電源用リード線の端子をホルダ部材の保持部に差し込むという極めて簡単な方法で、複数のランプを電源用リード線と電気的に接続すると共にホルダ部材に組み付けることができる。また、電源用リード線の端子はホルダ部材の保持部に差し込むだけで接続できるため、保持部の位置によっては、ホルダ部材を遊技機の本体又は部品に取り付けた後から電源用リード線の端子をホルダ部材の保持部に接続することも可能である。更に、導電部材は樹脂でカバーされているため、導電部材や、導電部材と電源用リード線の端子、ランプ端子との接続部を損傷させてしまうことを防止できる。
しかも、ランプ端子を、導電部材に形成された嵌合孔に圧入固定するようにしたので、ランプ端子を導電部材の嵌合孔に圧入するという極めて簡単な作業で、ランプ端子を導電部材に電気的に接続し、且つ、固定することができる。
【0007】
ここで、ホルダ部材は、導電部材をインサート成形することで、導電部材を樹脂でカバーするようにしても良いが、請求項2のように、ホルダ部材を、樹脂製のベース部材と樹脂製のカバー部材との間に導電部材を挟んで構成するようにしても良い。このようにすれば、複雑な型構造を必要とするインサート成形を行うことなく、導電部材を樹脂でカバーする構成を簡単に実現できる。
【0008】
この場合、カバー部材をベース部材にねじ止めするようにしても良いが、請求項3のように、カバー部材をベース部材に熱融着するようにすると良い。このようにすれば、熱融着という極めて簡単な作業でカバー部材をベース部材に固定することができる。
【0010】
また、請求項のように、保持部を、ホルダ部材のランプ組付側に設けるようにすると良い。このようにすれば、ホルダ部材に対してランプと電源用リード線とを、同一方向から組み付けることができるため、作業性が良く、組付性が更に向上する。
【0011】
【発明の実施の形態】
以下、本発明の一実施形態を図1乃至図7に基づいて説明する。例えば、パチンコ機の後述する風車装置39(図7参照)には、イルミネーション効果が得られるように、裏面側から例えば2個のランプ11が取り付けられている。各ランプ11は、図1及び図2に示すように、それぞれランプホルダ12を介してホルダ部材13に組み付けらている。このランプホルダ12はゴム等の弾性を有する材料で形成され、その前面に形成された嵌合凹部14にランプ11の後部が嵌合され、この嵌合部分が弾性力により締め付けられることで、ランプ11がランプホルダ12に保持されている。また、ランプホルダ12には、2本の接続孔15が、ランプホルダ12の後面から嵌合凹部14に貫通するように形成されている。そして、ランプ11のランプ配線16を各接続孔15内に挿通してランプホルダ12の後面から突出させ、その先端部分を折り曲げてランプホルダ12に固定している。
【0012】
また、ホルダ部材13は、ランプ11と電源用リード線17とを接続するための導電部材18を、例えばナイロン等の樹脂により形成されたベース部材19とカバー部材20との間に挟み込んでカバーするように構成されている。導電部材18は、図5に示すように、1枚の導電性金属板を例えば打ち抜き加工して形成され、ホルダ部材13の組立時に、各連結部21(図5に二点鎖線で示す部分)を切り落とすことで、2枚に切り離される。各導電部材18には、電源用リード線17の先端に圧着された電源端子22(図1参照)と接続される電源接続部23が折曲形成されている。また、各導電部材18には、ランプ端子24(図1参照)を圧入する嵌合孔25が2つずつ形成され、各嵌合孔25の内周部に、ランプ端子24を固定するための複数の突部26が形成されている。
【0013】
図1乃至図4に示すように、ホルダ部材13は、導電部材18の各嵌合孔25にランプ端子24が後方から圧入されることで、ランプ端子24が導電部材18に電気的に接続された状態で固定されている。ランプ端子24の圧入量は、ランプ端子24の末端部に形成された鍔部28が導電部材18の裏面に突き当たることで規制されている。各ランプ端子24が、ベース部材19に形成された各端子孔27にそれぞれ後方から挿入され、その先端部分が各端子孔27から前方に突出している。
【0014】
更に、ベース部材19の前面には、電源用リード線17の電源端子22を差し込み保持する筒状の保持部29が一体成形され、ホルダ部材13に対してランプ11と電源用リード線17とを同一方向(前方)から組み付けることができるようになっている。前記導電部材18の電源接続部23は、この保持部29内に突出している。
【0015】
また、ベース部材19の裏面の複数箇所には、取付突起30が一体成形され、図2に示すように、これらの取付突起30を、導電部材18の挿通孔31を挿通して、カバー部材20に形成された各取付孔32に嵌合させた状態で、各取付突起30の先端部とカバー部材20とを熱融着することで、ベース部材19の裏面側にカバー部材20が固定されている。尚、カバー部材20は、ベース部材19にねじ止めするようにしても良い。
【0016】
一方、図1に示すように、電源用リード線17の電源端子22は、例えば黄銅板等の導電性金属板を折曲加工して形成され、電源用リード線17の芯線に圧着されている。電源端子22には、保持部29の内寸法よりも若干小さい角形の筒状部33が形成され、この筒状部33の先端部から、弾性変形可能な接触子34が折曲形成されている。この接触子34は、電源端子22を保持部29に差し込んだ時に、やや下方に弾性変形した状態で電源接続部23に圧接するようになっている。また、筒状部33の下面には、下方に突出する係止爪35が弾性変形可能に形成され、係止爪35が保持部29の下方に形成された被係止部36に係止されることで、電源端子22を導電部材18と導通させた状態でホルダ部材13に抜け止め保持するようになっている。尚、係止爪35を上方に弾性変形させれば、電源端子22を保持部29から引き抜くことができ、電源用リード線17を交換することもできる。
また、ホルダ部材13には、風車装置39ヘの組み付けに用いる二つの円孔37とガイド部38(図3参照)が形成されている。
【0017】
図6及び図7に示すように、ランプ11が取り付けられる風車装置39は、風車ベース40と、例えば半透明樹脂により形成された風車41とから構成されている。風車ベース40は、前面側からネジ止めにより遊技盤(図示せず)に取り付けられ、風車ベース40の前方に、風車41が軸ピン42を介して回転自在に取り付けられている。風車ベース40の裏面側には、ホルダー部材13を取り付けるための支持部43が2本突設され、上方の支持部43に、ネジ穴44が形成され、下方の支持部43の先端には、嵌合突部45が形成されている。
【0018】
ランプ11を風車装置39に取り付ける場合は、まず、各ランプ11を保持したランプホルダ12の接続孔15を、ホルダ部材13の前方からランプ端子24に差し込み、電源用リード線17の電源端子22を、ホルダ部材13の前方から保持部29に差し込む。これにより、各ランプ11を電源用リード線17と電気的に接続すると共に、各ランプ11をホルダ部材13に組み付ける。この後、このホルダ部材13を、風車ベース40に後方から宛がい、ホルダ部材13の片方の円孔37を、風車ベース40の支持部43先端の嵌合突部45に嵌め込み、もう一つの円孔37に挿入したネジ46を他方の支持部43のネジ穴44に締め込むことで、ホルダ部材13を風車ベース40に固定し、ランプ11を風車装置39内に保持した状態にする(図7参照)。尚、ホルダ部材13の風車ベース40への取り付けは、ネジ止めに限定されるものではなく、例えば、ホルダ部材13を風車ベース40の支持部43に、係合により取り付けるようにしても良い。
【0019】
以上説明した実施形態によれば、配線基板を用いなくても、複数のランプ11の接続孔15をホルダ部材13のランプ端子24に差し込み、電源用リード線17の電源端子22をホルダ部材13の保持部29に差し込むという極めて簡単な方法で、複数のランプ11を電源用リード線17に電気的に接続した状態で組み付けることができ、組付性を向上させることができる。しかも、導電部材18が、樹脂製のベース部材19と樹脂製のカバー部材20によってカバーされているため、組付作業時や保守点検作業時に、導電部材18や、導電部材18と電源端子22、ランプ端子24との接続部を、損傷させてしまうことがなくなり、ランプ11と電源用リード線17との接続不良を防止することができ、電気的接続の信頼性を向上させることができる。
【0020】
また、上記実施形態では、電源端子22の保持部29を、ランプ11の組付側であるホルダ部材13の前面側に形成したので、ホルダ部材13に対してランプ11と電源用リード線17とを同一方向(前方)から組み付けることができ、作業性が良く、この面からも組付性が向上する。しかも、ランプ11と電源用リード線17とが、ホルダ部材13の同じ側(前面側)に組み付けられるため、装置全体の前後方向寸法を短くすることができて、装置を小型化することができ、狭いスペースでも取り付けることができる。
【0021】
ところで、上述したように、電源用リード線17の電源端子22は保持部29に差し込むだけで接続できるため、必ずしもホルダ部材13の組立時に接続しておく必要はなく、電源用リード線17を接続しない状態で出荷し、ユーザー側で仕様に応じた電源用リード線17を接続するようにすることもできる。このようにすれば、在庫管理も容易になる。
【0022】
また、上記実施形態では、保持部29をホルダ部材13の前面側に設け、電源用リード線17をホルダ部材13の前方から組み付けるようにしたが、保持部29の位置や向きは、適宜、変更しても良く、例えば、電源用リード線17をホルダ部材13の側方や後方から組み付けるようにすれば、ホルダ部材13を風車装置39に取り付けた後からでも、電源用リード線17をホルダ部材13に接続することも可能となる。このようにすれば、電源用リード線17を接続しない状態でホルダ部材13を風車装置39に組み付けることができ、組付性を向上させることができる。
【0023】
更に、上記実施形態では、ホルダ部材13は、樹脂製のベース部材19と樹脂製のカバー部材20との間に導電部材18を挟むようにしているので、複雑な型構造を必要とするインサート成形を行うことなく、導電部材18を樹脂でカバーする構成を簡単に実現することができる。しかしながら、ホルダ部材13は、導電部材18をインサート成形することで、導電部材18を樹脂でカバーするようにしても良い。
【0024】
尚、上記実施形態では、ホルダ部材13に2個のランプ11を組み付ける構成としているが、ランプ11の個数は、2個に限定されるものではなく、ホルダ部材13や導電部材18の形状を適宜変更してランプ端子24の数を変更し、ランプ11を1個又は3個以上組み付ける構成としても良い。
【0025】
また、上記実施形態は、本発明をパチンコ機の風車装置39に適用したものであるが、風車装置39以外に、チューリップ等の入賞装置、センター役物、遊技盤面周辺のイルミネーション装置等に本発明を適用したり、パチンコ機以外の遊技機に本発明を適用しても良い。また、ホルダ部材13を取り付ける部分も、風車装置39等の部品に限定されず、遊技機の本体(本体枠)に直接取り付けるようにしても良い。
【0026】
【発明の効果】
以上の説明から明らかなように、本発明の請求項1の遊技機のランプ取付装置によれば、配線基板を用いることなく、複数のランプ及び電源用リード線を差し込み方式という極めて簡単な方法によって、複数のランプを電源用リード線と電気的に接続すると共にホルダ部材に組み付けることができ、組付性を向上させることができる。また、電源用リード線を、ホルダ部材を遊技機の本体又は部品に取り付けた後からホルダ部材に接続することも可能であり、ホルダ部材の組付性も向上させることができる。更に、導電部材が樹脂でカバーされているため、導電部材や、導電部材と電源用リード線の端子、ランプ端子との接続部の損傷による接続不良を防止することができ、電気的接続の信頼性を向上させることができる。しかも、ランプ端子を、導電部材に形成された嵌合孔に圧入固定するようにしたので、ランプ端子を導電部材の嵌合孔に圧入するという極めて簡単な作業で、ランプ端子を導電部材に電気的に接続し、且つ、固定することができ、ホルダ部材の組立性を向上することができる。
【0027】
また、請求項2では、ホルダ部材を、樹脂製のベース部材と樹脂製のカバー部材との間に導電部材を挟んで構成するようにしたので、複雑な型構造を必要とするインサート成形を行わなくても、導電部材を樹脂でカバーする構成を簡単に実現することができる。
【0028】
更に、請求項3では、カバー部材をベース部材に熱融着するようにしたので、熱融着という極めて簡単な作業でカバー部材をベース部材に固定することができ、ホルダ部材の組立性も向上する。
【0030】
また、請求項では、保持部を、ホルダ部材のランプ組付側に設けるようにしたので、ホルダ部材に対してランプと電源用リード線とを、同一方向から組み付けることができ、組付性を更に向上することができる。

According to this configuration, there is no need to use a wiring board, and a plurality of lamp connection holes are inserted into the lamp terminals of the holder member, and the terminals of the power supply lead wires are inserted into the holder member holding portions. The plurality of lamps can be electrically connected to the power supply lead wire and can be assembled to the holder member. In addition, since the terminal of the power supply lead wire can be connected by simply inserting it into the holding portion of the holder member, depending on the position of the holding portion, the terminal of the power supply lead wire may be attached after the holder member is attached to the main body or part of the gaming machine. It is also possible to connect to the holding part of the holder member. Furthermore, since the conductive member is covered with resin, it is possible to prevent the conductive member, and the connection portion between the conductive member and the terminal of the power supply lead wire and the lamp terminal from being damaged.
