そして、遊技盤６は、図６（ａ），図７，図９に示すように、区画部材４２の下縁を遊技盤本体４１（詳しくは遊技盤本体４１の下面）よりも下方に延設して、区画部材４２の下部のうち左右方向の中央部分（言い換えると、第１区画部材４３の下部と第２区画部材４４の下部との間）に、遊技領域５の下端に連続するが遊技盤本体４１による裏打ちのない、すなわち、遊技盤本体４１を区画部材４２の裏側から当てがって補強することなくただ単に区画部材４２を下方まで延ばすことによって、球流下領域６３を遊技盤本体４１の下面から下方にはみ出した状態で形成している。また、区画部材４２の下部のうち遊技盤本体４１の下面よりも下方にはみ出した箇所には、盤支持部３４が遊嵌可能な区画側切欠部６４を盤支持部３４の位置に合わせて複数（本実施形態では２つ）形成し、該区画側切欠部６４の上縁部を遊技盤本体４１の下面よりも上方に位置させている。   6A, 7 and 9, the gaming board 6 extends the lower edge of the partition member 42 below the gaming board main body 41 (specifically, the lower surface of the gaming board main body 41). In the lower portion of the partition member 42, the center portion in the left-right direction (in other words, between the lower portion of the first partition member 43 and the lower portion of the second partition member 44) continues to the lower end of the game area 5, but the game There is no backing by the board body 41, that is, without extending the game board main body 41 from the back side of the partition member 42 and reinforcing it, the ball lowering region 63 is made to extend to the lower side by simply extending the partition member 42 downward. It forms in the state which protruded below from the lower surface of this. In addition, a plurality of partition-side notches 64 to which the board support portion 34 can be loosely fitted are arranged at positions where the board support portion 34 protrudes below the lower surface of the game board main body 41 in the lower part of the partition member 42 according to the position of the board support portion 34. (Two in this embodiment) are formed, and the upper edge portion of the partition side cutout portion 64 is positioned above the lower surface of the game board main body 41.

さらに、遊技盤本体４１の下方には、遊技盤本体４１の左右方向に沿って横長な領域区画補助具６６を備え、該領域区画補助具６６の表面と遊技盤本体４１の表面とが同一平面上に位置させ、区画部材４２の下部を領域区画補助具６６の表面と遊技盤本体４１の表面との間に跨いて配置している。また、領域区画補助具６６のうち球流下領域６３の後方（遊技盤本体４１側）に位置する箇所にはアウト口４６を備え、球流下領域６３まで流下した遊技球をアウト口４６に回収するように構成されている。具体的に説明すると、図８および図９に示すように、領域区画補助具６６のうち左右方向の途中には、遊技球が内部を通過可能な球排出樋６８を備え、該球排出樋６８内には遊技盤本体４１の表側から裏側へ向けて下り傾斜する球排出口６８ａを貫通し、アウト口４６に回収された遊技球を球排出口６８ａに通して遊技盤本体４１の裏面側へ排出可能としている。そして、球排出樋６８のうち遊技盤本体４１の表側に位置する前端部分の上縁部および左右両側縁部には、アウト口４６の開口縁を装飾するフランジ状の飾り部６９を外方へ向けて延設し、該飾り部６９を遊技盤本体４１の表面にビスなどの止着具（図示せず）で止着している。また、球排出樋６８の前端部分の下縁部には、舌片状のアウト球受部７０を前方の球流下領域６３へ向けて延設するとともに球流下領域６３側から球排出口６８ａ側へ向けて下り傾斜させ、球流下領域６３に到達した遊技球がアウト球受部７０上を転動して球排出口６８ａ内に誘導されるように構成されている。   Further, below the game board main body 41, there is provided a region partition auxiliary tool 66 that is horizontally long along the left-right direction of the game board main body 41, and the surface of the region partition auxiliary tool 66 and the surface of the game board main body 41 are flush with each other. The lower portion of the partition member 42 is disposed between the surface of the region partition assisting tool 66 and the surface of the game board main body 41. In addition, an out port 46 is provided at a position located behind the ball flow down region 63 (on the game board main body 41 side) in the area division assisting tool 66, and the game balls flowing down to the ball flow down region 63 are collected in the out port 46. It is configured as follows. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 8 and FIG. 9, a ball discharge rod 68 through which a game ball can pass inside is provided in the middle of the area division assisting tool 66 in the left-right direction. The ball discharge port 68a that inclines downward from the front side to the back side of the game board main body 41 passes through, and the game balls collected in the out port 46 pass through the ball discharge port 68a to the back side of the game board main body 41. It can be discharged. A flange-shaped decorative portion 69 for decorating the opening edge of the out port 46 is outwardly provided on the upper edge portion and the left and right side edge portions of the front end portion of the ball discharge basket 68 located on the front side of the game board main body 41. The decorative portion 69 is fixed to the surface of the game board main body 41 with a fixing tool (not shown) such as a screw. In addition, a tongue-like out ball receiving portion 70 extends toward the front ball flow lowering region 63 at the lower edge portion of the front end portion of the ball discharge rod 68 and from the ball flow lowering region 63 side to the ball discharge port 68a side. The game ball that has been inclined downward and reached the ball flow lowering region 63 rolls on the out ball receiving portion 70 and is guided into the ball discharge port 68a.

なお、遊技盤本体４１の下部には、球排出樋６８の上部が進入可能なアウト切欠部７１を切り欠いて形成し、遊技盤本体４１の下部と球排出樋６８の上部とが干渉することを避けている。また、領域区画補助具６６の下面のうち遊技盤６の裏側に位置する縁部（後縁部）には面取り加工を施しており、遊技盤６を遊技盤装着部２０内へ前方から挿入しようとする際に、領域区画補助具６６の後縁部がフレームボード部２１の上端に引っ掛かってしまう不都合、ひいては遊技盤６の装着作業が滞ってしまう不都合をなくすように構成されている。   In addition, the lower part of the game board main body 41 is formed by notching an out notch 71 into which the upper part of the ball discharge basket 68 can enter, and the lower part of the game board main body 41 and the upper part of the ball discharge basket 68 interfere with each other. Avoid. Moreover, the edge part (rear edge part) located in the back side of the game board 6 among the lower surfaces of the area | region division assistance tool 66 is chamfered, and let's insert the game board 6 into the game board mounting part 20 from the front. In this case, the rear edge portion of the area partition assisting tool 66 is configured to be prevented from being caught on the upper end of the frame board portion 21, and consequently the inconvenience that the mounting operation of the game board 6 is delayed.

さらに、領域区画補助具６６の表面の左右両側部には、区画部材４２に係合する平板状の補助係合片７３を上方の遊技盤本体４１側へ向けて延設し、該補助係合片７３には、遊技盤６の表裏方向に貫通する補助貫通孔７４を開設している。また、図１０に示すように、区画部材４２の裏面のうち補助係合片７３が重合する箇所には、区画側係合受部７５を区画部材４２の表側へ向けて凹ませて形成し、該区画側係合受部７５内には、補助貫通孔７４に嵌合する区画側凸部７６を後方の遊技盤本体４１側へ向けて突設し、区画側凸部７６のうち遊技盤本体４１側に向いた突出端面を区画部材４２の裏面と同一平面上に位置させている。そして、区画側係合受部７５に補助係合片７３を係合するとともに補助貫通孔７４に区画側凸部７６を嵌合し、この状態で区画部材４２を遊技盤本体４１の表面に止着して、領域区画補助具６６の左右両側を遊技盤６に係合している。なお、区画側係合受部７５は、図１０（ｂ）に示すように、補助係合片７３の厚さ（遊技盤６の表裏方向に沿った寸法）ｔよりも深い寸法ｄで凹ませて形成されており、このため、区画部材４２および区画側凸部７６が遊技盤本体４１の表面に密着せずに浮いてしまうことがない。また、ビス等の止着具４５を区画側凸部７６に通して区画部材４２を遊技盤本体４１に止着しているので、区画側凸部７６が遊技盤本体４１の表面から不用意に離れる不都合、ひいては区画側凸部７６と遊技盤本体４１との間から補助係合片７３が抜け落ちる不都合がない。また、遊技盤本体４１に区画部材４２と領域区画補助具６６とを同一の止着具４５で止着することができ、止着具の使用数の増加を抑えることができる。なお、補助係合片７３を区画側係合受部７５に係合して領域区画補助具６６を遊技盤６に装着できれば、飾り部６９を遊技盤本体４１の表面に止着しなくてもよい。   Further, on both the left and right side portions of the surface of the area division assisting tool 66, flat auxiliary engagement pieces 73 that engage with the partition member 42 are extended toward the upper game board main body 41, and the auxiliary engagement is performed. In the piece 73, an auxiliary through hole 74 that penetrates in the front and back direction of the game board 6 is provided. Further, as shown in FIG. 10, a portion of the back surface of the partition member 42 where the auxiliary engagement piece 73 overlaps is formed by recessing the partition side engagement receiving portion 75 toward the front side of the partition member 42, A partition-side convex portion 76 that fits in the auxiliary through-hole 74 is provided in the partition-side engagement receiving portion 75 so as to project toward the rear game board main body 41. The protruding end surface facing the 41 side is positioned on the same plane as the back surface of the partition member 42. Then, the auxiliary engagement piece 73 is engaged with the division side engagement receiving portion 75 and the division side convex portion 76 is fitted into the auxiliary through hole 74, and the division member 42 is stopped on the surface of the game board main body 41 in this state. At the same time, the left and right sides of the area division assisting tool 66 are engaged with the game board 6. As shown in FIG. 10B, the partition side engagement receiving portion 75 is recessed with a dimension d deeper than the thickness (dimension along the front and back direction of the game board 6) t of the auxiliary engagement piece 73. For this reason, the partition member 42 and the partition-side convex portion 76 do not come into close contact with the surface of the game board main body 41 and do not float. Further, since the fastening member 45 such as a screw is passed through the partition-side convex portion 76 and the partition member 42 is fastened to the game board main body 41, the partition-side convex portion 76 is careless from the surface of the game board main body 41. There is no inconvenience that the auxiliary engagement piece 73 falls off between the partition-side convex portion 76 and the game board main body 41. In addition, the partition member 42 and the region partition assisting tool 66 can be fastened to the game board main body 41 with the same fastening tool 45, and an increase in the number of fastening tools used can be suppressed. It should be noted that if the auxiliary partitioning piece 66 can be mounted on the game board 6 by engaging the auxiliary engagement piece 73 with the partition-side engagement receiving part 75, the decoration 69 does not have to be fixed to the surface of the game board main body 41. Good.

次に、盤固定部材３０およびその周辺の構成について説明する。
盤固定部材３０は、図１１に示すように、区画部材４２（詳しくは第２区画部材４４の盤固定受部５６）に係合可能な固定操作部８０と、軸受部２９に回動自在な状態で支持される円柱状の固定軸部８１と、遊技盤装着部２０の裏面（前面枠３の裏面側）に係合する固定ストッパー８２とを備えて一体成形（例えば、合成樹脂等で一体成型）されている。また、固定軸部８１を前面枠本体４の前後方向（表裏方向）に沿って延在させ、該固定軸部８１の前端部には固定操作部８０を遊技盤６の表面に沿って延在する姿勢で接続するとともに、固定軸部８１の後端部には固定ストッパー８２を固定軸部８１よりも大きな直径で形成して接続し、固定軸部８１を当該盤固定部材３０の回動中心に設定して回動できるように構成されている。また、固定操作部８０のうち前面枠本体４の前方を向いた表面には操作ハンドル８０ａを突設し（図１１（ｂ）および図１２参照）、固定ストッパー８２側に向いた裏面を押圧面８０ｂとし（図１１（ａ）参照）、該押圧面８０ｂにより押圧受部５９を遊技盤装着部２０の前方から嵌合受部３１側へ押圧可能としている。詳しくは、固定軸部８１を中心に固定操作方向（図４（ｂ）および図１１（ｂ）中、矢印Ａで示す反時計方向）へ回動して固定操作部８０（押圧面８０ｂ）を固定軸部８１から遊技盤装着部２０の中心側へ向けて横向きに延在する姿勢にすると、押圧面８０ｂが押圧受部５９を押圧する盤固定状態に変換し（図１１（ｂ）参照）、解除操作方向（図４（ｂ）中、矢印Ｂで示す時計方向）へ回動して固定操作部８０（押圧面８０ｂ）を固定軸部８１から上方へ縦向きに延在する姿勢にすると、押圧面８０ｂが押圧受部５９から外れる盤解除状態に変換する（図１２（ａ），（ｂ）参照）。 Next, the configuration of the panel fixing member 30 and its periphery will be described.
As shown in FIG. 11, the panel fixing member 30 is rotatable to the bearing member 29 and a fixing operation section 80 that can be engaged with the partition member 42 (specifically, the panel fixing receiving section 56 of the second partition member 44). A cylindrical fixed shaft portion 81 supported in a state and a fixed stopper 82 that engages with the back surface of the game board mounting portion 20 (the back surface side of the front frame 3) are integrally formed (for example, integrated with synthetic resin or the like) Molded). Further, the fixed shaft portion 81 extends along the front-rear direction (front and back direction) of the front frame body 4, and the fixed operation portion 80 extends along the surface of the game board 6 at the front end portion of the fixed shaft portion 81. And a fixed stopper 82 having a diameter larger than that of the fixed shaft portion 81 is connected to the rear end portion of the fixed shaft portion 81, and the fixed shaft portion 81 is connected to the center of rotation of the panel fixing member 30. It is comprised so that it can set and rotate. In addition, an operation handle 80a is projected from the surface of the fixed operation unit 80 facing the front of the front frame body 4 (see FIGS. 11B and 12), and the back surface facing the fixed stopper 82 is a pressing surface. 80b (see FIG. 11 (a)), the pressure receiving portion 59 can be pressed from the front of the game board mounting portion 20 to the fitting receiving portion 31 side by the pressing surface 80b. Specifically, the fixing operation portion 80 (pressing surface 80b) is rotated by rotating in the fixing operation direction (counterclockwise direction indicated by arrow A in FIGS. 4B and 11B) around the fixed shaft portion 81. When the posture is extended laterally from the fixed shaft portion 81 toward the center side of the game board mounting portion 20, the pressing surface 80b is converted into a board fixing state in which the pressing receiving portion 59 is pressed (see FIG. 11B). When the fixed operation portion 80 (pressing surface 80b) is rotated upward in the vertical direction from the fixed shaft portion 81 by rotating in the release operation direction (clockwise direction indicated by arrow B in FIG. 4B). Then, the state is converted into a disc release state in which the pressing surface 80b is detached from the pressing receiving portion 59 (see FIGS. 12A and 12B).

そして、図１１（ａ）に示すように、該押圧面８０ｂには第１突起部８６および第２突起部８７を固定操作部８０の長手方向に沿って並ぶ状態で突設し、第１突起部８６を第２突起部８７よりも固定軸部８１寄りに位置させている。さらに、固定軸部８１の外周部のうち押圧面８０ｂ側を向いた位置には、遊技盤６の側部（詳しくは第２区画部材４４の当接部５８の側面）に当接可能な側方当接部８８を備え、該側方当接部８８のうち固定操作部８０の回動操作時（状態変換時）に当接部５８に摺動する部分を曲面（詳しくは、固定操作部８０の回動中心からの距離が解除操作方向Ｂに沿って次第に増加する曲面）で形成している。   Then, as shown in FIG. 11A, a first projection 86 and a second projection 87 are provided on the pressing surface 80b so as to be arranged along the longitudinal direction of the fixed operation unit 80, and the first projection The portion 86 is positioned closer to the fixed shaft portion 81 than the second projecting portion 87. Further, the side of the outer peripheral portion of the fixed shaft portion 81 that faces the pressing surface 80b side can contact the side portion of the game board 6 (specifically, the side surface of the contact portion 58 of the second partition member 44). A side abutting portion 88 is provided, and a portion of the side abutting portion 88 that slides on the abutting portion 58 when the fixing operation portion 80 is rotated (when the state is changed) is a curved surface (specifically, the fixing operation portion The distance from the rotation center of 80 gradually increases along the release operation direction B).

盤固定部材３０の周辺の構成においては、図４（ａ）に示すように、盤固定部材３０が軸着される軸受部２９の前端部を嵌合受部３１の前端部に揃えて位置させ、軸受部２９（軸孔２９ａ）の上部と嵌合受部３１（嵌合開口３１ａ）の下部との間を軸孔２９ａ（または盤固定部材３０の回動中心となる固定軸部８１の直径）より僅かに狭い連通部９０で連通し、盤固定部材３０の固定軸部８１が連通部９０の縁部を撓ませながら連通部９０を通過できるように構成されている。言い換えると、前面枠本体４のうち嵌合受部３１の側方に設けられた軸受部２９と嵌合受部３１とを連通して盤固定部材３０の固定軸部８１を通過可能としている。また、嵌合受部３１の嵌合開口３１ａを固定操作部８０よりもひと回り大きな広さ且つ固定ストッパー８２よりも小さい広さに設定して、固定操作部８０を盤解除状態の縦向き姿勢で通過可能、且つ固定ストッパー８２を通過不能としている。さらに、盤固定部材３０の押圧面８０ｂと嵌合受部３１の前端部との離間距離（遊技盤６の表裏方向に沿った離間距離）を、押圧受部５９が形成されている盤固定受部５６の厚さ（表裏方向の厚さ）よりも僅かに狭く設定して、盤固定部材３０を盤固定状態に変換すると、固定操作部８０（押圧面８０ｂ）と嵌合受部３１との間で第２区画部材４４を挟持できるように構成されている。   In the configuration around the panel fixing member 30, as shown in FIG. 4A, the front end portion of the bearing portion 29 on which the panel fixing member 30 is axially mounted is aligned with the front end portion of the fitting receiving portion 31. The diameter of the fixed shaft 81 serving as the rotation center of the shaft hole 29a (or the panel fixing member 30) is between the upper portion of the bearing portion 29 (shaft hole 29a) and the lower portion of the fitting receiving portion 31 (fitting opening 31a). ) The communication portion 90 communicates with a slightly narrower communication portion 90 so that the fixed shaft portion 81 of the panel fixing member 30 can pass through the communication portion 90 while bending the edge portion of the communication portion 90. In other words, the bearing portion 29 provided on the side of the fitting receiving portion 31 in the front frame body 4 and the fitting receiving portion 31 communicate with each other so as to pass through the fixed shaft portion 81 of the panel fixing member 30. In addition, the fitting opening 31a of the fitting receiving portion 31 is set to be slightly larger than the fixed operation portion 80 and smaller than the fixed stopper 82, so that the fixed operation portion 80 is in a vertically oriented posture in a panel released state. It is possible to pass and the fixed stopper 82 is not allowed to pass. Further, a separation distance between the pressing surface 80b of the board fixing member 30 and the front end portion of the fitting receiving part 31 (a separation distance along the front and back direction of the game board 6) is set as a board fixing receiver on which the pressure receiving part 59 is formed. When the board fixing member 30 is converted into a board fixing state by setting it slightly narrower than the thickness of the part 56 (thickness in the front and back direction), the fixing operation part 80 (pressing surface 80b) and the fitting receiving part 31 It is comprised so that the 2nd division member 44 can be clamped between.

また、押圧受部５９の下縁部には、盤固定状態の固定操作部８０に下方から当接可能な横長短冊状の固定回動規制部９１を備え（図１２参照）、遊技盤装着部２０のうち連通部９０を挟んで嵌合受部３１とは反対側には、盤解除状態の固定操作部８０に側方から当接可能なピン状の解除回動規制部９２を突設している（図４および図１２参照）。そして、固定回動規制部９１に固定操作部８０を当接すると、盤固定部材３０が盤固定状態から固定操作方向Ａに回動することを阻止され、解除回動規制部９２に固定操作部８０を当接すると、盤固定部材３０が盤解除状態から解除操作方向Ｂに回動することを阻止されるように構成されている。さらに、押圧受部５９には、盤固定状態における盤固定部材３０の第１突起部８６が係合可能な第１凹部９６を形成し、該第１凹部９６から遊技盤６の中央側にずれた位置（図１２（ａ）中、左側にずれた位置）には受部側嵌合口９７を盤固定受部５６の表裏方向（遊技盤６の表裏方向）に沿って貫通している。   In addition, the lower edge portion of the press receiving portion 59 is provided with a horizontally long strip-shaped fixed rotation restricting portion 91 that can be in contact with the fixing operation portion 80 in a fixed state from below (see FIG. 12). 20, a pin-shaped release rotation restricting portion 92 is provided on the opposite side of the communication portion 90 from the fitting receiving portion 31 so as to be able to abut on the fixed operation portion 80 in the panel release state from the side. (See FIGS. 4 and 12). Then, when the fixing operation portion 80 is brought into contact with the fixed rotation restricting portion 91, the plate fixing member 30 is prevented from rotating in the fixing operation direction A from the plate fixing state, and the release rotation restricting portion 92 is fixed to the fixed operation portion. When 80 is brought into contact, the board fixing member 30 is prevented from rotating in the release operation direction B from the board release state. Further, the press receiving portion 59 is formed with a first recess 96 that can be engaged with the first protrusion 86 of the board fixing member 30 in the board fixing state, and is shifted from the first recess 96 toward the center of the game board 6. 12 (a position shifted to the left in FIG. 12A), the receiving portion side fitting port 97 is penetrated along the front and back direction of the board fixed receiving portion 56 (front and back direction of the game board 6).

そして、図４（ａ）に示すように、背面壁部２６のうち受部側嵌合口９７の後方に位置する箇所には、前面枠本体４の前方へ向けて突出する円筒状の固定ボス９８を設け、該固定ボス９８の前端部を受部側嵌合口９７に盤固定受部５６の裏面側から嵌合可能としている。また、固定ボス９８の前端を嵌合受部３１の前端よりも盤固定受部５６の板厚分だけ前方（遊技盤装着部２０の前方）に突出し、固定ボス９８の前端には第２突起部８７が係合可能な第２凹部９９を備え、嵌合受部３１の前端が盤固定受部５６の裏面に当接すると、固定ボス９８の前端部が押圧受部５９と同一平面上に位置するとともに、第２突起部８７が第１突起部８６と横に並んで位置するように設定されている。   Then, as shown in FIG. 4A, a cylindrical fixed boss 98 protruding toward the front of the front frame body 4 is located at a position located behind the receiving portion side fitting port 97 in the back wall portion 26. The front end portion of the fixed boss 98 can be fitted into the receiving portion side fitting port 97 from the back side of the panel fixed receiving portion 56. Further, the front end of the fixed boss 98 projects forward from the front end of the fitting receiving portion 31 by the thickness of the board fixed receiving portion 56 (in front of the game board mounting portion 20), and a second protrusion is formed at the front end of the fixed boss 98. When the front end of the fitting receiving portion 31 comes into contact with the back surface of the panel fixing receiving portion 56, the front end portion of the fixing boss 98 is flush with the pressing receiving portion 59. It is set so that the 2nd projection part 87 may be located alongside the 1st projection part 86 while being located.

次に、上記構成を備えたパチンコ遊技機１の作用、特に、遊技盤装着部２０に盤固定部材３０を取り付ける作業、および、遊技盤装着部２０に遊技盤６を装着する作業について説明する。
遊技盤装着部２０に盤固定部材３０を取り付けるには、まず、遊技盤装着部２０の裏側に盤固定部材３０を固定操作部８０が盤解除状態の縦向き姿勢で嵌合開口３１ａ側に向き、且つ固定軸部８１が遊技盤装着部２０の表裏方向に沿って延在する状態に設定する。盤固定部材３０の姿勢を設定したならば、盤固定部材３０を嵌合開口３１ａへ通し、固定操作部８０を嵌合受部３１の前端から突出させるとともに固定ストッパー８２を背面壁部２６の裏面に当接し、固定軸部８１を嵌合受部３１に貫通させる。そして、固定軸部８１を連通部９０へ通して軸受部２９に嵌め込む。すると、盤固定部材３０が軸受部２９に回動可能な状態で支持され、連通部９０の縁部が軸受部２９の嵌合受部３１側への戻りを阻止する。このようにして盤固定部材３０の前面枠３への取り付け作業を容易に行うことができる。また、固定操作部８０と固定軸部８１と固定ストッパー８２とを一体成形しているので、盤固定部材３０を簡単な構造で構成することができる。 Next, the operation of the pachinko gaming machine 1 having the above-described configuration, particularly the operation of attaching the board fixing member 30 to the game board mounting part 20 and the operation of attaching the game board 6 to the game board mounting part 20 will be described.
In order to attach the board fixing member 30 to the game board mounting part 20, first, the board fixing member 30 is placed on the back side of the game board mounting part 20 so that the fixing operation part 80 faces the fitting opening 31a in the vertical orientation with the board released. In addition, the fixed shaft portion 81 is set to extend along the front and back direction of the game board mounting portion 20. If the posture of the panel fixing member 30 is set, the panel fixing member 30 is passed through the fitting opening 31a, the fixing operation part 80 is protruded from the front end of the fitting receiving part 31, and the fixing stopper 82 is connected to the rear surface of the rear wall part 26. The fixed shaft portion 81 is caused to penetrate the fitting receiving portion 31. Then, the fixed shaft portion 81 is inserted into the bearing portion 29 through the communication portion 90. Then, the panel fixing member 30 is supported by the bearing portion 29 in a rotatable state, and the edge portion of the communication portion 90 prevents the bearing portion 29 from returning to the fitting receiving portion 31 side. In this way, the work of attaching the panel fixing member 30 to the front frame 3 can be easily performed. In addition, since the fixed operation portion 80, the fixed shaft portion 81, and the fixed stopper 82 are integrally formed, the panel fixing member 30 can be configured with a simple structure.

盤固定部材３０が取り付けられた遊技盤装着部２０に遊技盤６を取り付けるには、まず、透明部材保持枠９を大きく開き（図２参照）、盤固定部材３０を盤解除状態に変換しておく。この状態で、遊技領域５を前方に向けた遊技盤６の第１区画部材４３側（図２中、左側）を収容開口部２０ａへ通して盤係合片２８と背面壁部２６との間に差し込んで盤係合受部５４に盤係合片２８を引っ掛ける。遊技盤６に盤係合片２８を引っ掛けたならば、遊技盤６のうち第１区画部材４３側の側面（図２中、左側面）を軸着側壁部２３に押し当てるようにしながら遊技盤６の第２区画部材４４側（図２中、右側）を収容開口部２０ａへ通して遊技盤装着部２０内に押し入れ（図１２（ａ）参照）、盤支持部３４の後側に遊技盤本体４１の下面を載置して遊技盤６の上下方向の位置を位置決めするとともに、盤支持部３４の前側を区画側切欠部６４へ遊嵌する。このとき、領域区画補助具６６は、図７に示すように、互いに離間して配置された２つの盤支持部３４の間に収納される。   In order to attach the game board 6 to the game board mounting part 20 to which the board fixing member 30 is attached, first, the transparent member holding frame 9 is largely opened (see FIG. 2), and the board fixing member 30 is converted into the board release state. deep. In this state, the first partition member 43 side (the left side in FIG. 2) of the game board 6 with the game area 5 facing forward is passed through the accommodation opening 20a and between the board engaging piece 28 and the back wall part 26. And the board engaging piece 28 is hooked on the board engaging receiving portion 54. When the board engaging piece 28 is hooked on the game board 6, the game board 6 is configured such that the side surface (the left side surface in FIG. 2) of the game board 6 on the first partition member 43 side is pressed against the pivoting side wall portion 23. 6 is inserted into the game board mounting part 20 through the accommodation opening 20a (see FIG. 12A), and the game board is placed behind the board support part 34. The lower surface of the main body 41 is placed to position the game board 6 in the vertical direction, and the front side of the board support part 34 is loosely fitted into the partition-side notch part 64. At this time, as shown in FIG. 7, the area division assisting tool 66 is accommodated between the two panel support portions 34 that are arranged apart from each other.

盤支持部３４に遊技盤本体４１を載せたならば、遊技盤６を十分に押し込んで嵌合受部３１に嵌合突部５７を嵌合するとともに盤固定受部５６に嵌合受部３１の前端を当接し、さらには、固定ボス９８の前端部を受部側嵌合口９７へ嵌合する（図１２（ｂ）参照）。この状態で盤固定部材３０を固定操作方向Ａに回動して盤固定状態に変換すると、盤固定部材３０が押圧面８０ｂにより押圧受部５９を押圧するとともに、側方当接部８８により当接部５８を押圧して遊技盤６を軸着側壁部２３側へ押し付ける。この結果、嵌合突部５７と嵌合受部３１との嵌合状態が維持されて、遊技盤６が遊技盤装着部２０に固定される。さらに、遊技盤装着部２０は、側方当接部８８と軸着側壁部２３との間に遊技盤６を挟持して遊技盤６の左右方向の位置を位置決めする。また、盤固定部材３０と嵌合受部３１との間に盤固定受部５６を挟持して遊技盤６の前後方向の位置を位置決めする。これにより、遊技盤本体４１を盤固定部材３０と嵌合受部３１との間に介在させずに遊技盤６を遊技盤装着部２０に固定することができる。したがって、遊技盤本体４１の板厚寸法に左右されずに遊技盤６の位置決めを行うことができ、遊技盤６毎に遊技領域５の位置（詳しくは遊技領域５の前後位置）がばらつく不都合を避けることができる。また、盤固定部材３０を盤固定状態に変換すると、図１１（ｂ）に示すように、第１凹部９６に第１突起部８６を係合するとともに第２凹部９９に第１突起部８６を係合して、盤固定部材３０が盤固定状態から盤解除状態へ変換することを規制する。したがって、遊技盤６の固定が不用意に解除されてしまうことを防ぐことができる。   If the game board main body 41 is placed on the board support part 34, the game board 6 is sufficiently pushed in, the fitting protrusion 57 is fitted into the fitting receiving part 31, and the fitting receiving part 31 is fitted into the board fixed receiving part 56. The front end of the fixed boss 98 is fitted into the receiving portion side fitting port 97 (see FIG. 12B). When the panel fixing member 30 is rotated in the fixing operation direction A and converted to the panel fixing state in this state, the panel fixing member 30 presses the pressing receiving portion 59 by the pressing surface 80b and the side abutting portion 88 makes contact. The contact portion 58 is pressed to push the game board 6 toward the side wall portion 23. As a result, the fitting state between the fitting protrusion 57 and the fitting receiving part 31 is maintained, and the game board 6 is fixed to the game board mounting part 20. Further, the game board mounting part 20 positions the game board 6 in the left-right direction by sandwiching the game board 6 between the side contact part 88 and the shaft-attached side wall part 23. Further, the board fixing receiving part 56 is sandwiched between the board fixing member 30 and the fitting receiving part 31 to position the position of the game board 6 in the front-rear direction. Thereby, the game board 6 can be fixed to the game board mounting part 20 without interposing the game board main body 41 between the board fixing member 30 and the fitting receiving part 31. Therefore, the game board 6 can be positioned without being influenced by the thickness of the game board body 41, and the position of the game area 5 (specifically, the front and back positions of the game area 5) varies for each game board 6. Can be avoided. Further, when the board fixing member 30 is converted to the board fixing state, as shown in FIG. 11B, the first protrusion 86 is engaged with the first recess 96 and the first protrusion 86 is inserted into the second recess 99. By engaging, the board fixing member 30 is restricted from being changed from the board fixing state to the board releasing state. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the game board 6 from being unintentionally released.

このようにして遊技盤装着部２０に固定された遊技盤６においては、区画部材４２の下縁を遊技盤本体４１よりも下方に延設して、遊技領域５の下端に連続するが遊技盤本体４１による裏打ち（裏側からの補強）のない球流下領域６３を形成したので、遊技盤本体４１の大きさを変えずに遊技領域５を拡大することができる。したがって、遊技領域５を拡大したとしても、遊技盤６が組み付けられる前面枠３の設計を変更する必要がない。さらに、遊技盤６や前面枠３の製作設備を新規に導入する必要もない。また、遊技領域５内に隙間や段差を形成せずに遊技領域５を拡大することができ、遊技領域５を流下する遊技球の動きが隙間や段差に影響されてしまうことがないし、遊技球の流下時間を長くすることもできる。さらに、遊技盤本体４１の表面と領域区画補助具６６の表面との間に跨って区画部材４２を配置しているので、領域区画補助具６６により区画部材４２の下部を裏面側から支持することができ、区画部材４２を安定させることができる。そして、領域区画補助具６６には、アウト口４６の開口縁を装飾する飾り部６９と、アウト口４６に回収された遊技球を遊技盤本体４１の裏面側へ排出する球排出口６８ａと、を備えたので、区画部材４２の配置を補助する部材とアウト口４６の構成要素とを別個に設ける必要がなく、遊技領域５が拡大された遊技盤６の構成の簡素化を図ることができる。また、遊技盤装着部２０においては、盤支持部３４が区画側切欠部６４に遊嵌した状態で遊技盤本体４１の下面を支持するので、区画部材４２の下部で遊技盤６を支持することがなく、遊技盤６の自重で区画部材４２が破損する不都合を避けることができる。それだけではなく、互いに離間して配置された２つの盤支持部３４の間に領域区画補助具６６を収納しているので、盤支持部３４間の空間部を領域区画補助具６６およびアウト口４６の構成要素の収納箇所として利用することができ、限られたパチンコ遊技機１内のスペースを有効に活用することができる。   In the gaming board 6 fixed to the gaming board mounting portion 20 in this way, the lower edge of the partition member 42 extends downward from the gaming board main body 41 and continues to the lower end of the gaming area 5, but the gaming board. Since the ball lowering region 63 without the backing (reinforcement from the back side) by the main body 41 is formed, the game region 5 can be expanded without changing the size of the game board main body 41. Therefore, even if the game area 5 is enlarged, it is not necessary to change the design of the front frame 3 on which the game board 6 is assembled. Furthermore, it is not necessary to introduce new production equipment for the game board 6 and the front frame 3. Further, the game area 5 can be enlarged without forming a gap or a step in the game area 5, and the movement of the game ball flowing down the game area 5 is not affected by the gap or the step. It is also possible to lengthen the flow time. Further, since the partition member 42 is disposed between the surface of the game board main body 41 and the surface of the area partition assisting tool 66, the lower part of the partition member 42 is supported from the back side by the area partition assisting tool 66. And the partition member 42 can be stabilized. The area division assisting tool 66 includes a decoration 69 that decorates the opening edge of the out port 46, a ball discharge port 68a that discharges the game balls collected in the out port 46 to the back side of the game board body 41, Therefore, it is not necessary to separately provide a member for assisting the arrangement of the partition member 42 and the component of the out port 46, and the configuration of the game board 6 in which the game area 5 is expanded can be simplified. . In the game board mounting part 20, the board support part 34 supports the lower surface of the game board main body 41 in a state of being loosely fitted in the partition side cutout part 64, so that the game board 6 is supported by the lower part of the partition member 42. Therefore, it is possible to avoid the inconvenience that the partition member 42 is damaged by the weight of the game board 6. In addition, since the area partitioning auxiliary tool 66 is accommodated between the two panel support parts 34 that are arranged apart from each other, the space part between the panel support parts 34 is defined as the area partitioning auxiliary tool 66 and the out port 46. This can be used as a storage location for the components, and the limited space in the pachinko gaming machine 1 can be used effectively.

そして、遊技盤装着部２０内に装着した遊技盤６を取り外す場合には、前記した操作とは逆の手順で行う。すなわち、透明部材保持枠９を開き、盤固定部材３０を解除操作方向Ｂへ回動操作して盤固定状態から盤解除状態へ変換して、固定操作部８０（押圧面８０ｂ）を盤固定受部５６（押圧受部５９）から外す。盤固定部材３０を盤解除状態へ変換したならば、遊技盤６の第２区画部材４４側を先に手前に引き出して嵌合突部５７を嵌合受部３１から前方へ抜き出し、さらに、盤係合片２８から盤係合受部５４を外して遊技盤６を手前に引き出す。このようにして、遊技盤６を容易に取り外すことができる。そして、遊技盤６を遊技盤装着部２０から外した状態では、盤固定部材３０を盤固定状態へ変換して第２突起部８７に第２凹部９９を係合すれば（図４（ｂ）参照）、盤固定状態における盤固定部材３０の回動が規制される。したがって、遊技盤装着部２０から遊技盤６を外した状態で盤固定部材３０が不用意に回動することを避けることができる。   And when removing the game board 6 with which it mounted in the game board mounting part 20, it performs by the reverse procedure to above-described operation. That is, the transparent member holding frame 9 is opened, and the panel fixing member 30 is rotated in the release operation direction B to convert from the panel fixed state to the panel released state, and the fixing operation unit 80 (pressing surface 80b) is fixed to the panel. Remove from part 56 (press receiving part 59). If the board fixing member 30 is converted to the board released state, the second partition member 44 side of the game board 6 is first pulled forward and the fitting protrusion 57 is extracted forward from the fitting receiving part 31, and the board The board engagement receiving portion 54 is removed from the engagement piece 28 and the game board 6 is pulled out. In this way, the game board 6 can be easily removed. When the game board 6 is removed from the game board mounting part 20, the board fixing member 30 is converted to the board fixing state and the second recess 99 is engaged with the second protrusion 87 (FIG. 4B). Reference), the rotation of the board fixing member 30 in the board fixing state is restricted. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the board fixing member 30 from rotating carelessly with the game board 6 removed from the game board mounting part 20.

なお、前面枠３へ装着する前に遊技盤６を単体で取り扱う（例えば、床に載置したり、搬送準備として箱に入れて梱包したりする）場面においては、図１３に示すように、区画部材４２のうち遊技盤６の下部から突出した部分を保護するために盤保護カバー１０１を装着してもよい。盤保護カバー１０１は、遊技盤６の下部よりもひと回り大きな横長箱状を呈し、当該盤保護カバー１０１の上面を開放して盤挿入口１０２を開設している。また、盤保護カバー１０１の内側底部には、遊技盤本体４１の下面を支持可能なカバー支持部１０３を区画側切欠部６４に遊嵌可能な状態（遊技盤６の左右方向に沿った横幅寸法が区画側切欠部６４よりも狭い状態）で備え、該カバー支持部１０３の高さ（具体的には盤保護カバー１０１部材の内側底部からカバー支持部１０３の上面までの高さ）ｈ１を、遊技盤本体４１の下面から区画部材４２の下面までの高さｈ２よりも高く設定している。   In addition, in a scene where the game board 6 is handled alone (for example, placed on the floor or packed in a box for transport preparation) before being attached to the front frame 3, as shown in FIG. A board protection cover 101 may be attached to protect the portion of the partition member 42 that protrudes from the lower part of the game board 6. The board protection cover 101 has a horizontally long box shape that is slightly larger than the lower part of the game board 6, and the board insertion slot 102 is opened by opening the upper surface of the board protection cover 101. Further, a cover support portion 103 capable of supporting the lower surface of the game board main body 41 can be loosely fitted into the partition-side cutout portion 64 (width dimension along the left-right direction of the game board 6) on the inner bottom portion of the board protection cover 101. In a state narrower than the partition-side notch 64), the height of the cover support 103 (specifically, the height from the inner bottom of the panel protection cover 101 member to the upper surface of the cover support 103) h1 The height h2 from the lower surface of the game board main body 41 to the lower surface of the partition member 42 is set higher.

さらに、盤保護カバー１０１のうちアウト口４６を遊技盤６の表面側から被覆する部分には、縦長な２条のスリットを盤保護カバー１０１の上端から平行状態で形成して、上端部が盤挿入口１０２の外方（アウト口４６から前方へ離れる方向）へ向けて移動可能となるカバー係合操作片１０４を備え、該カバー係合操作片１０４のうち遊技盤６側（盤保護カバー１０１の内側）を向いた内面には、アウト球受部７０の先端に上方から係合可能なカバー係合爪１０５を突設している。   Further, in the portion of the board protection cover 101 that covers the out port 46 from the surface side of the game board 6, two vertically long slits are formed in a parallel state from the upper end of the board protection cover 101, and the upper end is the board. A cover engagement operation piece 104 that can move toward the outside of the insertion port 102 (a direction away from the out port 46) is provided, and the game board 6 side (the board protection cover 101) of the cover engagement operation piece 104 is provided. A cover engaging claw 105 that can be engaged from above is provided on the inner surface of the outer ball receiving portion 70 on the inner surface facing the inner side.

このような構成を備えた盤保護カバー１０１を遊技盤６の下部に装着するには、例えば、盤保護カバー１０１を床等の上に盤挿入口１０２が上方を向いた状態で載置しておき、該盤保護カバー１０１の上方に遊技盤６を領域区画補助具６６および区画側切欠部６４が盤挿入口１０２の直上に位置し、且つアウト球受部７０がカバー係合爪１０５の直上に位置する姿勢に設定する。遊技盤６の姿勢を設定したならば、この遊技盤６を下ろして盤挿入口１０２に遊技盤６の下部を差し入れる。そして、カバー係合操作片１０４を指等で盤挿入口１０２の外方へ撓ませてカバー係合爪１０５をアウト球受部７０の直下から外し、この状態で遊技盤６を十分に下ろす。すると、アウト球受部７０がカバー係合爪１０５よりも下方に移動し、カバー支持部１０３が区画側切欠部６４に遊嵌した状態で遊技盤本体４１を下方から支持し、区画部材４２の下面が盤保護カバー１０１の内側底部に当接することを阻止される。さらに、カバー係合操作片１０４を撓ませていた指等を外してカバー係合操作片１０４を復元力により戻すと、カバー係合爪１０５をアウト球受部７０の傾斜上端へ上方から係合する。このようにして、遊技盤６の下部に盤保護カバー１０１を遊技盤６が持ち上げられても脱落しない状態で装着することができる。そして、盤保護カバー１０１を装着しておけば、遊技盤６を床等に載置した際に区画部材４２の下部が遊技盤６の自重により破損する虞がない。なお、遊技盤６から盤保護カバー１０１を取り外すには、カバー係合操作片１０４を盤保護カバー１０１の外方へ撓ませてカバー係合爪１０５とアウト球受部７０との係合を解除し、この状態で遊技盤６の下部を盤挿入口１０２から引き抜けばよい。   In order to attach the board protection cover 101 having such a configuration to the lower part of the game board 6, for example, the board protection cover 101 is placed on the floor or the like with the board insertion slot 102 facing upward. The game board 6 is placed above the board protection cover 101, the area partitioning auxiliary tool 66 and the partitioning side notch 64 are located immediately above the board insertion slot 102, and the out ball receiving part 70 is directly above the cover engaging claw 105. Set to the position located at. When the posture of the game board 6 is set, the game board 6 is lowered and the lower part of the game board 6 is inserted into the board insertion slot 102. Then, the cover engaging operation piece 104 is bent outward of the board insertion slot 102 with a finger or the like to remove the cover engaging claw 105 from directly below the out ball receiving portion 70, and the game board 6 is sufficiently lowered in this state. Then, the out ball receiving portion 70 moves below the cover engaging claw 105, and the game board main body 41 is supported from below while the cover support portion 103 is loosely fitted in the partition side cutout portion 64. The lower surface is prevented from coming into contact with the inner bottom portion of the panel protection cover 101. Further, when the finger or the like that has bent the cover engagement operation piece 104 is removed and the cover engagement operation piece 104 is returned by the restoring force, the cover engagement claw 105 is engaged with the upper end of the slope of the out ball receiving portion 70 from above. To do. In this way, the board protection cover 101 can be attached to the lower part of the game board 6 so that it does not fall off even if the game board 6 is lifted. If the board protection cover 101 is attached, there is no possibility that the lower part of the partition member 42 is damaged by the weight of the game board 6 when the game board 6 is placed on the floor or the like. In order to remove the board protection cover 101 from the game board 6, the cover engagement operation piece 104 is bent outward from the board protection cover 101 to release the engagement between the cover engagement claw 105 and the out ball receiving portion 70. In this state, the lower part of the game board 6 may be pulled out from the board insertion slot 102.

ところで、上記実施形態においては、盤固定部材３０は、嵌合受部３１との間に盤固定受部５６のみ挟持するが、本発明はこれに限定されない。例えば、図１４に示す第２実施形態においては、盤固定部材３０と嵌合受部３１との間に領域区画補助具６６の一部を挟持するように構成されている。具体的に説明すると、第２実施形態における領域区画補助具６６は、図１４（ａ）および（ｂ）に示すように、第２区画部材４４側（図１４（ｂ）中、右側）に位置する補助係合片７３から嵌合突部５７側へ向けて横長なアーム１０８を延設し、該アーム１０８の先端から上方の嵌合突部５７側へ向けて挟持片１０９を立設して盤固定受部５６の裏面に重合させている。そして、挟持片１０９のうち受部側嵌合口９７に重合する箇所には挟持側挿通口１１０を開設して固定ボス９８を挿通可能としている。このような構成の領域区画補助具６６を遊技盤本体４１の下方に備えて、遊技盤装着部２０に遊技盤６を組み付けると、固定ボス９８が挟持側挿通口１１０に挿通されて挟持片１０９が位置決めされる。そして、盤固定部材３０を盤固定状態に変換して遊技盤６を固定すると、盤固定部材３０が嵌合受部３１との間に盤固定受部５６および挟持片１０９を挟持する。したがって、領域区画補助具６６の位置決めおよび固定を一層安定して行うことができる。   By the way, in the said embodiment, although the panel fixing member 30 clamps only the panel fixing receiving part 56 between the fitting receiving parts 31, this invention is not limited to this. For example, in 2nd Embodiment shown in FIG. 14, it is comprised so that a part of area | region division assistance tool 66 may be clamped between the board fixing member 30 and the fitting receiving part 31. FIG. Specifically, as shown in FIGS. 14A and 14B, the area partitioning auxiliary tool 66 in the second embodiment is positioned on the second partitioning member 44 side (right side in FIG. 14B). A horizontally long arm 108 is extended from the auxiliary engagement piece 73 to the fitting projection 57 side, and a clamping piece 109 is erected from the tip of the arm 108 to the upper fitting projection 57 side. It is superposed on the back surface of the panel fixed receiving part 56. And the clamping boss | hub 98 can be penetrated by opening the clamping side insertion port 110 in the location which overlaps with the receiving part side fitting port 97 among the clamping pieces 109. FIG. When the area partitioning auxiliary tool 66 having such a configuration is provided below the game board main body 41 and the game board 6 is assembled to the game board mounting part 20, the fixed boss 98 is inserted into the holding side insertion port 110 and the holding piece 109 is inserted. Is positioned. When the board fixing member 30 is converted to the board fixing state and the game board 6 is fixed, the board fixing member 30 sandwiches the board fixing receiving portion 56 and the holding piece 109 between the fitting receiving portion 31. Accordingly, the positioning and fixing of the area division assisting tool 66 can be performed more stably.

ところで、上記各実施形態においては、ファール球がファール球回収路３９に回収されずにパチンコ遊技機１内に散乱してしまうことを阻止する構成を備えていないが、本発明はこれに限定されない。例えば、図１５および図１６に示す第３実施形態においては、ファール球の散乱を阻止する構成を第１区画部材４３に備えている。具体的に説明すると、第３実施形態のパチンコ遊技機１は、図１５に示すように、第１区画部材４３の下部と、回収路形成パネル３８の上部のうち第１区画部材４３の直下に位置する後寄りの箇所（フレームボード部２１寄りの部分）とを離間して、ファール球回収口３９ａと外レール５１の下端（発射通路７の入口７ａを区画する外レール５１の下端）との間に空間部１１５を形成して、前面枠３の一部と遊技盤６の一部との接触、詳しくは回収路形成パネル３８と第１区画部材４３との接触を避けている。また、空間部１１５のうち発射通路７の入口７ａに臨む箇所（図１５（ａ）中、右側）を空間開口１１５ａとし、第１区画部材４３のうち発射通路７の入口７ａの側方（詳しくは外レール５１の下端の近傍）に位置する箇所には、空間開口１１５ａを開閉可能なファール球処理弁１１６を上下方向へ回動自在な状態で軸着している（図１５および図１６（ａ）参照）。   By the way, in each said embodiment, although the structure which prevents that a foul ball | bowl is scattered in the pachinko game machine 1 without being collect | recovered by the foul ball | bowl collection path 39 is not provided, this invention is not limited to this. . For example, in the third embodiment shown in FIGS. 15 and 16, the first partition member 43 is provided with a configuration that prevents scattering of the foul sphere. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 15, the pachinko gaming machine 1 according to the third embodiment is located directly below the first partition member 43 among the lower portion of the first partition member 43 and the upper portion of the collection path forming panel 38. The far rear position (portion near the frame board portion 21) is separated from the foul ball collection port 39a and the lower end of the outer rail 51 (the lower end of the outer rail 51 that defines the inlet 7a of the launch passage 7). A space 115 is formed therebetween to avoid contact between a part of the front frame 3 and a part of the game board 6, specifically, contact between the collection path forming panel 38 and the first partition member 43. Further, a portion of the space 115 that faces the inlet 7a of the launch passage 7 (on the right side in FIG. 15A) is a space opening 115a, and the side of the entrance 7a of the launch passage 7 of the first partition member 43 (in detail). Is located near the lower end of the outer rail 51, and a foul ball processing valve 116 capable of opening and closing the space opening 115a is pivotally mounted in a vertically rotatable state (FIGS. 15 and 16). a)).

ファール球処理弁１１６は、金属製の短冊板状部材により構成されており、図１６（ｂ）に示すように、短冊板状部材の長手方向の一端部分を円環状に形成して回動軸受１１６ａとし、他端部分を発射通路７の入口７ａ側へ向けて屈曲（または湾曲）して弁本体１１６ｂとし、この弁本体１１６ｂで空間開口１１５ａを開閉可能としている。また、回動軸受１１６ａを第１区画部材４３から前方へ向けて突設された回動軸１１７へ回動自在な状態で嵌合して、弁本体１１６ｂを回動軸１１７よりも発射通路７の入口７ａ寄り（図１５（ａ）中、右寄り）の位置で上下方向へ移動（回動）するように構成されている。具体的には、弁本体１１６ｂを上方へ回動すると、ファール球処理弁１１６が第１弁状態に変換して空間開口１１５ａを開放し、空間部１１５から上方へ外れた弁本体１１６ｂを外レール５１の下端側から発射通路７の入口７ａ内へ横向き姿勢で延出する。一方、弁本体１１６ｂを下方へ回動すると、ファール球処理弁１１６が第２弁状態に変換して弁本体１１６ｂを発射通路７の入口７ａから下方へ外すとともに、外レール５１の下端側から遊技盤６の下縁部よりも下方の空間部１１５側へ向けて縦向き姿勢で延出して空間開口１１５ａを閉成する。   The foul ball processing valve 116 is made of a metal strip plate-like member, and as shown in FIG. 16B, one end portion in the longitudinal direction of the strip plate-like member is formed in an annular shape and is a rotary bearing. 116a, and the other end portion is bent (or curved) toward the inlet 7a side of the firing passage 7 to form a valve main body 116b. The valve main body 116b can open and close the space opening 115a. Further, the rotary bearing 116a is fitted to a rotary shaft 117 projecting forward from the first partition member 43 in a freely rotatable state, and the valve body 116b is more than the rotary shaft 117 to the firing passage 7. It is configured to move (rotate) in the vertical direction at a position near the inlet 7a (rightward in FIG. 15A). Specifically, when the valve body 116b is rotated upward, the foul ball processing valve 116 is converted to the first valve state to open the space opening 115a, and the valve body 116b detached from the space 115 is moved to the outer rail. 51 extends from the lower end side into the inlet 7a of the launch passage 7 in a lateral posture. On the other hand, when the valve main body 116b is rotated downward, the foul ball processing valve 116 is converted to the second valve state, and the valve main body 116b is removed downward from the inlet 7a of the firing passage 7, and the game is started from the lower end side of the outer rail 51. The space opening 115a is closed by extending in a vertical orientation toward the space 115 below the lower edge of the panel 6.

また、第１区画部材４３のうち回動軸１１７よりも外レール５１から側方（図１５（ａ）中、左側方）へ離れた位置には回動ストッパー１１８を設け、ファール球処理弁１１６が第２弁状態に変換すると、回動ストッパー１１８が弁本体１１６ｂの付け根（回動軸受１１６ａと弁本体１１６ｂとの境界部分）に当接してファール球処理弁１１６を第２弁状態で維持し、弁本体１１６ｂが空間開口１１５ａよりも球払出口３５側（図１５（ｂ）中、左側）へ回動すること、言い換えると空間部１１５内に進入することを阻止可能としている。さらに、区画部材４２のうち回動軸１１７よりも発射通路７の入口７ａ寄り（図５（ａ）中、右寄り）の位置には弁係合部１１９を設け、ファール球処理弁１１６が第１弁状態に変換すると、弁係合部１１９が弁本体１１６ｂの表面（詳しくは発射通路７の入口７ａに臨ませた表面）に係合して、ファール球処理弁１１６が第１弁状態よりも上方へ回動することを阻止可能としている。   Further, a rotation stopper 118 is provided at a position away from the outer rail 51 to the side (left side in FIG. 15A) of the first partition member 43 from the rotation shaft 117, and the foul ball processing valve 116 is provided. Is converted to the second valve state, the rotation stopper 118 contacts the base of the valve body 116b (the boundary portion between the rotation bearing 116a and the valve body 116b) to maintain the foul ball processing valve 116 in the second valve state. Further, it is possible to prevent the valve main body 116b from rotating toward the ball discharge outlet 35 side (left side in FIG. 15B) from the space opening 115a, in other words, entering the space 115. Further, a valve engaging portion 119 is provided at a position of the partition member 42 closer to the inlet 7a of the firing passage 7 than the rotating shaft 117 (rightward in FIG. 5A), and the foul ball processing valve 116 is the first. When converted to the valve state, the valve engaging portion 119 is engaged with the surface of the valve main body 116b (specifically, the surface facing the inlet 7a of the firing passage 7), and the foul ball processing valve 116 is more than in the first valve state. It is possible to prevent it from rotating upward.

このようなファール球処理弁１１６を備えた遊技盤６を前面枠３へ装着する前に単体で取り扱う（例えば、床に載置したり、搬送準備として箱に入れて梱包したりする）場面において、遊技盤６を縦向きで持ち上げた状態では、ファール球処理弁１１６が自重により下方へ回動して第２弁状態となり、弁本体１１６ｂを回動ストッパー１１８へ当接した状態で遊技盤６の下縁部よりも下方へ延出する。また、この状態で遊技盤６を縦向きで床や梱包箱の底などの載置面上へ載置すると、弁本体１１６ｂの先端（下端）が載置面に下方から押圧されて上方へ回動し、ファール球処理弁１１６が第１弁状態に変換する。このとき、弁本体１１６ｂを発射通路７の入口７ａ側へ向けて屈曲（または湾曲）しているので、載置面から弁本体１１６ｂの先端に受けた押圧力が回動軸１１７へ向かう方向から発射通路７側へ外れて作用し、回動軸１１７を中心としてファール球処理弁１１６を回動する回動力、具体的には発射通路７側へ向けて回動する回動力へ変換する。したがって、ファール球処理弁１１６を容易に変換すること、言い換えると、ファール球処理弁１１６を遊技盤６の内側へ容易に収容することができる。これにより、遊技盤６を単体で取り扱うときにファール球処理弁１１６を損傷し難くすることができる。   In a situation where the game board 6 having such a foul ball processing valve 116 is handled alone before being mounted on the front frame 3 (for example, placed on the floor or packed in a box as preparation for transportation). When the game board 6 is lifted vertically, the foul ball processing valve 116 is rotated downward by its own weight to be in the second valve state, and the game board 6 is in a state where the valve main body 116 b is in contact with the rotation stopper 118. It extends downward from the lower edge of. Further, in this state, when the game board 6 is placed vertically on a placement surface such as the floor or the bottom of the packaging box, the tip (lower end) of the valve body 116b is pressed from below on the placement surface to rotate upward. Then, the foul ball processing valve 116 converts to the first valve state. At this time, since the valve body 116b is bent (or curved) toward the inlet 7a side of the firing passage 7, the pressing force received at the tip of the valve body 116b from the mounting surface is directed to the rotation shaft 117. Acting away from the firing passage 7 side, the rotational force is converted to a turning force for turning the foul ball processing valve 116 around the turning shaft 117, specifically, turning force turning to the firing passage 7 side. Therefore, the foul ball processing valve 116 can be easily converted, in other words, the foul ball processing valve 116 can be easily accommodated inside the game board 6. As a result, the foul ball processing valve 116 can be made difficult to be damaged when the game board 6 is handled alone.

また、ファール球処理弁１１６を備えたパチンコ遊技機１において遊技を実行し、遊技球を発射装置１５から弱い発射勢で発射した場合には、この遊技球が発射通路７の上端まで到達せずに発射通路７を逆流（落下）してファール球となる。そして、回収路形成パネル３８の上部へ直接落下したり、あるいは、図１５（ｂ）に示すように、ファール球の次に発射装置１５から発射された後続の遊技球に弾かれたりして、ファール球が空間部１１５へ侵入しようとすることがある。しかしながら、ファール球処理弁１１６が空間開口１１５ａを閉成しているので、ファール球処理弁１１６がファール球の空間部１１５への侵入を阻止し、さらには、弁本体１１６ｂに沿ってファール球を下方へ流下させてファール球回収口３９ａへ案内する。したがって、前面枠３と遊技盤６との間に空間部１１５が形成されていたとしても、ファール球がこの空間部１１５に入り込んでしまう不都合、ひいてはファール球回収口３９ａへ回収されずにパチンコ遊技機１内（詳しくは前面枠本体４と透明部材保持枠９との間）に散乱してしまう不都合を阻止することができる。また、回動ストッパー１１８により第２弁状態のファール球処理弁１１６を支持することができ、ファール球がファール球処理弁１１６を押し退けて空間部１１５へ侵入してしまう不都合を阻止することができる。   Further, when a game is executed in the pachinko gaming machine 1 provided with the foul ball processing valve 116 and the game ball is launched with a weak launching force from the launching device 15, the game ball does not reach the upper end of the launch passage 7. In the reverse direction (falling) in the launch passage 7, a foul ball is formed. And it falls directly on the upper part of the collection path forming panel 38, or as shown in FIG. 15 (b), it is struck by a succeeding game ball launched from the launching device 15 next to the foul ball, The foul sphere may try to enter the space 115. However, since the foul ball processing valve 116 closes the space opening 115a, the foul ball processing valve 116 prevents the foul ball from entering the space 115, and further, the foul ball is moved along the valve body 116b. It flows downward and guides it to the foul ball collection port 39a. Therefore, even if the space portion 115 is formed between the front frame 3 and the game board 6, the foul ball enters into the space portion 115, and the pachinko game is not collected into the foul ball collection port 39a. It is possible to prevent the inconvenience of scattering in the machine 1 (specifically, between the front frame body 4 and the transparent member holding frame 9). Further, the foul ball processing valve 116 in the second valve state can be supported by the rotation stopper 118, and the inconvenience that the foul ball pushes the foul ball processing valve 116 and enters the space 115 can be prevented. .

ところで、上記各実施形態では、固定操作部８０を嵌合受部３１の嵌合開口３１ａへ通して盤固定部材３０を軸受部２９へ軸着するように構成したが、本発明はこれに限定されない。例えば、固定操作部８０を嵌合開口３１ａよりもひと回り大きい形状に設定して嵌合開口３１ａを通過不能とし、固定ストッパー８２を盤固定状態とは異なる姿勢、且つ盤解除状態とは異なる姿勢で嵌合開口３１ａを通過可能となる長尺形状に設定してもよい。言い換えると、嵌合受部３１は、固定ストッパー８２が盤固定状態とは異なる姿勢、盤解除状態とは異なる姿勢で通過可能な形状に形成されていてもよい。そして、遊技盤装着部２０に盤固定部材３０を取り付けるには、固定ストッパー８２を嵌合受部３１の前方から嵌合開口３１ａへ通して背面壁部２６の裏面から突出させるとともに、固定操作部８０を嵌合受部３１の前端に係合し、嵌合受部３１に貫通させた固定軸部８１を連通部９０へ通して軸受部２９に嵌め込んでもよい。このような構成の盤固定部材３０においても、前面枠３への取り付け作業を容易に行うことができる。   By the way, in each said embodiment, although it comprised so that the fixing operation part 80 might be passed through the fitting opening 31a of the fitting receiving part 31, and the panel fixing member 30 was axially attached to the bearing part 29, this invention is limited to this. Not. For example, the fixing operation unit 80 is set to a shape that is slightly larger than the fitting opening 31a so as not to pass through the fitting opening 31a, and the fixing stopper 82 has a posture different from the panel fixing state and a posture different from the panel releasing state. You may set to the elongate shape which can pass the fitting opening 31a. In other words, the fitting receiving portion 31 may be formed in a shape that allows the fixing stopper 82 to pass in a posture different from the board fixed state and a posture different from the board released state. In order to attach the board fixing member 30 to the game board mounting part 20, the fixing stopper 82 is projected from the front of the fitting receiving part 31 through the fitting opening 31a and protrudes from the back surface of the rear wall part 26, and the fixing operation part 80 may be engaged with the front end of the fitting receiving portion 31, and the fixed shaft portion 81 penetrating the fitting receiving portion 31 may be passed through the communication portion 90 and fitted into the bearing portion 29. Also in the panel fixing member 30 having such a configuration, the attachment work to the front frame 3 can be easily performed.

また、上記各実施形態においては、盤固定部材３０を遊技盤装着部２０のうち透明部材保持枠９の開放側に位置する部分に備えたが、本発明はこれに限定されない。要は、遊技盤装着部２０内に装着された遊技盤６を固定可能であれば、盤固定部材をどの位置に備えてもよい。例えば、盤固定部材を遊技盤装着部２０の上下両側に備え、区画部材４２の上下両端部の表面に盤固定部材を係合して遊技盤６を固定してもよい。そして、上記各実施形態では、遊技盤６（遊技盤本体４１）は正面から見て矩形状を呈するが、本発明はこれに限定されない。要は、遊技盤本体の表面に区画部材を止着して遊技領域を区画形成すれば、どのような形状の遊技盤（遊技盤本体）であってもよい。   Moreover, in each said embodiment, although the board fixing member 30 was provided in the part located in the open | release side of the transparent member holding frame 9 among the game board mounting parts 20, this invention is not limited to this. In short, the board fixing member may be provided at any position as long as the game board 6 mounted in the game board mounting part 20 can be fixed. For example, a board fixing member may be provided on both the upper and lower sides of the game board mounting part 20 and the board board 6 may be fixed by engaging the board fixing members with the surfaces of the upper and lower ends of the partition member 42. In each of the above embodiments, the game board 6 (game board body 41) has a rectangular shape when viewed from the front, but the present invention is not limited to this. In short, any shape of game board (game board body) may be used as long as a partition member is fastened to the surface of the game board body to form a game area.

さらに、上記各実施形態においては、遊技盤本体４１を従来のサイズのままに設定する一方、区画部材４２を従来よりも縦長にして球流下領域６３を形成するが、本発明はこれに限定されない。例えば、区画部材４２を従来のサイズのままにする一方、遊技盤本体４１の上下方向の長さを従来よりも短くして球流下領域６３を形成してもよい。遊技盤本体４１のサイズを小さくすれば、遊技盤本体４１の材料、具体的には合板の使用量を少なく抑えることができ、資源の保護を図ることができる。また、遊技盤本体４１の周辺にスペースを確保することができ、パチンコ遊技機１内の限られた空間の有効活用を図ることができる。   Furthermore, in each of the above embodiments, the game board main body 41 is set to the conventional size, while the partition member 42 is made longer than the conventional one to form the ball flow-down region 63, but the present invention is not limited to this. . For example, while the partition member 42 is kept in the conventional size, the length of the game board main body 41 in the vertical direction may be made shorter than that in the conventional case to form the ball flow down region 63. If the size of the game board main body 41 is reduced, the amount of material used for the game board main body 41, specifically, the amount of plywood used can be reduced, and resources can be protected. Moreover, a space can be secured around the game board main body 41, and the limited space in the pachinko gaming machine 1 can be effectively utilized.

また、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、遊技盤本体と、該遊技盤本体の表面に遊技領域を区画形成する区画部材と、を備えて遊技盤を構成し、前面枠に備えられた遊技盤装着部に遊技盤を前方から着脱可能な状態で装着した遊技機であればどのような遊技機でもよい。例えば、封入球式パチンコ機、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。   In the above embodiment, a pachinko gaming machine, which is a typical gaming machine, has been described as an example. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and a gaming area is formed on the surface of the gaming board body and the gaming board body. Any game machine may be used as long as the game board is configured to include a partitioning member, and the game board is attached to the game board mounting portion provided in the front frame in a detachable state from the front. For example, it may be a gaming machine such as an enclosed ball pachinko machine, an arrangement ball gaming machine, or a sparrow ball gaming machine.

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. The present invention is not limited to the above description, but is defined by the scope of the claims, and includes all modifications within the scope and meaning equivalent to the scope of the claims.
