  An upper hinge 81 and a lower hinge 82 are attached to the upper and lower ends of the left side frame constituting portion 11c (see FIG. 2). The upper and lower hinges 81 and 82 support the upper and lower portions of the inner frame 12 so that the inner frame 12 can be rotated. As a result, the inner frame 12 can be opened and closed.

  The inner frame 12 is mainly composed of a resin base 38 whose outer shape is rectangular, and a substantially elliptical window hole 39 is formed at the center of the resin base 38. As shown in FIG. 3, the opening / closing axis of the inner frame 12 is set along the upper and lower sides on the left side when viewed from the front of the pachinko machine 10, and the inner frame 12 is opened to the front side with the opening / closing axis serving as an axis. It can be done. In the closed state of the inner frame 12, most of the inner frame 12 and the like are accommodated in the space formed inside the outer frame 11.

  Furthermore, a resin curtain decoration 87 is attached to the lower frame constituting portion 11b. A rib 88 projecting upward is integrally formed at the back of the upper surface of the curtain decoration 87. This makes it difficult to form a gap with the inner frame 12.

  A front frame set 14 is attached to the front side of the inner frame 12 so that it can be opened and closed. As will be described in detail later, the front frame set 14 of the present embodiment can not only open to the front side with the opening / closing axis set along the top and bottom on the left side as viewed from the front of the pachinko machine 10 as the axis. The opening / closing axis set along the upper and lower sides on the right side when viewed from the front of the machine 10 can be opened to the front side as an axis.

  The front frame set 14 has a rectangular outer shape similar to the inner frame 12, and covers almost the entire front side of the inner frame 12 in the closed state. A substantially elliptical window 101 is formed at the center of the front frame set 14. Thereby, the game board 30 (game area) attached to the rear surface of the inner frame 12 can be visually recognized from the outside through the window portion 101 of the front frame set 14 and the window hole 39 of the inner frame 12. The detailed configuration of the game board 30 will be described later.

  As shown in FIG. 1, a lower tray 15 serving as a ball tray is provided at the lower center of the front frame side of the front frame set 14, and game balls discharged from the discharge port 16 are stored in the lower tray 15. It is possible. Further, on the front side of the lower plate 15, a ball removal lever 25 for discharging the game ball from the lower plate 15 is provided. In addition, an effect button 125 with a built-in LED is provided on the left side of the lower plate 15, and by pressing the effect button 125, a corresponding effect is performed on a decorative symbol display device 42 described later. Or the production content is changed.

  On the right side of the lower plate 15, there is provided a game ball launching handle (hereinafter simply referred to as a handle 18) that protrudes toward the front side. The handle 18 is provided with a touch sensor (not shown) and an operation amount detection means (variable resistor) (not shown) for detecting the operation amount of the operation unit of the handle 18. When the handle 18 is rotated clockwise, a game ball is launched by a launching device 60 serving as launching means described later with a strength corresponding to the amount of pivoting operation. Further, the handle 18 is provided with a firing prohibiting button 18 a that can be pressed with the thumb of the right hand that holds the handle 18. In the state where the firing prohibition button 18a is pressed, even if the handle 18 is held, the launching device 60 is prohibited from launching the game ball. Therefore, the rotation of the handle 18 can be performed while prohibiting the launch of the game ball, or the launch of the game ball can be temporarily stopped while the handle 18 is held.

  An upper plate 19 is provided above the lower plate 15. The upper plate 19 is a ball tray that temporarily stores the game balls and guides them toward a launching device 60 described later while aligning them in a row. When the upper plate 19 is full of game balls, the game balls to be paid out are guided to the lower plate 15 via the lower plate communication passage 71 and the discharge port 16 described later.

  The upper plate 19 is provided with a ball lending button 121 and a return button 122. Thereby, in the game hall or the like, when the ball lending button 121 is operated with a bill or a card inserted into a card unit (ball lending unit) arranged on the side of the pachinko machine 10, depending on the operation Rental balls are supplied to the upper plate 19. On the other hand, the return button 122 is operated when requesting the return of a card or the like inserted into the card unit. However, the ball lending button 121 and the return button 122 are not necessary for a pachinko machine in which game balls are directly lending to the upper plate 19 from a ball lending device or the like without using a card unit, so-called cash machine.

  Further, the upper plate 19 is provided with a ball removal button 123. When the ball removal button 123 is pressed, a communication hole (not shown) provided on the downstream side of the ball guide path of the upper plate 19 and communicating with the lower plate 15 is opened and stored in the upper plate 19. The game ball is guided (dropped) to the lower plate 15. That is, the player can move the game ball on the upper plate 19 to the lower plate 15 at any time by operating the ball removal button 123.

  In addition, light emitting means such as various lamps are provided around the front surface of the front frame set 14. These light emitting means play a role of enhancing the effect of the game during the game by changing and controlling the light emission mode such as lighting and blinking according to the change of the game state at the time of big hit or predetermined reach. For example, at the periphery of the window portion 101, an annular illumination portion 102 incorporating a light emitting means such as an LED is provided. In addition, error display lamps 104 that are turned on when a predetermined error occurs are provided on both sides of the annular illumination portion 102. In addition, a speaker SP is provided on the rear surface of the front frame set 14 at positions near the upper left and upper right corners, and a number of small through holes are formed in the front frame set 14 at positions corresponding to the speakers SP. ing.

  Further, a glass unit 137 is attached to the rear side of the front frame set 14. The glass unit 137 is not attached to a pair of conventional front and rear rectangular glass plates separately in front and rear pairs, but is formed into a round shape as a whole and attached after being assembled.

  Next, the inner frame 12 (resin base 38) will be described with reference to FIG. As described above, the game board 30 is mounted on the inner frame 12 (resin base 38) on the rear side of the window hole 39. The game board 30 is attached in a state in which the peripheral edge thereof is in contact with the back side of the inner frame 12 (resin base 38). Therefore, a substantially central portion of the front surface portion of the game board 30 is exposed to the front surface side of the inner frame 12 through the window hole 39 of the resin base 38.

  In addition, at the lower part of the front surface of the inner frame 12 (resin base 38), that is, below the window hole 39 (game board 30), the launch device 60 and launch that guides the game ball immediately after being launched from the launch device 60. A rail 61 is attached. In the present embodiment, a solenoid-type firing device is employed as the firing device 60. Further, above the launching device 60, a ball feeding device that supplies the game balls guided from the upper plate 19 to the launching position of the launching device 60 one by one by driving a built-in driving means (for example, a solenoid). 63 is provided.

  Next, the configuration of the game board 30 will be described with reference to FIG. The game board 30 includes a general winning port 31, a variable winning device 32, a starting winning unit (starting port) 33, a through gate 34, a variable display device unit 35, a first special display device 43L, a second special display device 43R, and the like. It is disposed in a through hole formed by router processing, and is attached from the front side of the game board 30 with a wood screw or the like. As is well known, when a game ball enters (wins) various winning ports such as the general winning port 31, the variable winning device 32, the start winning unit 33, etc., it is detected by various detection switches, and is sent to the upper plate 19 (or lower plate 15). A predetermined number of prize balls are paid out. For example, when there is a ball entering the start winning unit 33, there are three balls when there is a ball entering the general winning slot 31, and when there is a ball entering the variable winning device 32. Fifteen game balls are paid out to the upper plate 19 (lower plate 15). In addition, the game board 30 is provided with an out port 36, and a game ball that has not won any of the various winning ports such as the general winning port 31 passes through the out port 36 and goes out of the gaming area. Discharged. In addition, the game board 30 is provided with a large number of nails for appropriately dispersing and adjusting the falling direction of the game balls, and various members such as windmills (servants).

  The start winning unit 33 includes an upper winning opening 33a and a lower winning opening 33b as a starting winning means, and a pair of opening / closing members 33c provided on both sides of the lower winning opening 33b. The upper winning opening 33a allows a game ball to always enter, while the lower winning opening 33b is a game that flows down the gaming area by the opening / closing member 33c opening and closing in accordance with the establishment of a predetermined condition. The state can be changed between an open state in which a ball can enter and a closed state in which a game ball cannot enter. As will be described in detail later, the start winning unit 33 includes a first start winning switch 224a and a second starting winning switch 224b that detect game balls that have entered the upper winning opening 33a and the lower winning opening 33b, respectively. When a game ball is detected by the start winning switches 224a and 224b, whether or not to generate a big hit state is determined, and special display devices 43L and 43R (and a decorative symbol display device 42 to be described later). ) Is displayed in a variable display. Then, when winning in the winning / losing lottery (a jackpot), a jackpot state (special game state) in which the variable winning device 32 is released is given.

  The first and second special display devices 43L and 43R are each constituted by a 7-segment display device of a type capable of displaying two characters (and dots), and are installed on the right side of the variable winning device 32. Then, when the game ball enters the top winning port 33a of the start winning unit 33, the first special display device 43L performs switching display (variable display), and the game ball enters the lower winning port 33b. As a trigger, switching display (variation display) is performed on the second special display device 43R. Note that the display contents of the special display devices 43L and 43R are directly controlled by a main control device 261 as main control means described later.

  In addition, after the variable display is performed on the first and second special display devices 43L and 43R, whether or not a big hit is determined is determined by the display mode (lighting mode) when the variable display is stopped. . For example, when a game ball wins the top winning opening 33a, the lighting mode (combination of segments to be lit) is switched and displayed (variable display, for example, every 4 msec) on the corresponding first special display device 43L. When a predetermined time has elapsed, one of the lighting modes is stopped and displayed (for example, stopped for several seconds). Then, when the jackpot lottery is won, the corresponding lighting mode is displayed when the fluctuation is stopped, and a jackpot state is generated. In addition, the special display devices 43L and 43R are taught not only as to whether or not they are big hits, but in the case of big hits, the types of jackpots are also taught.

  When either the first special display device 43L or the second special display device 43R is performing the variable display or the determination display, the other is turned off (“−” is displayed). However, if neither the change display nor the determination display is performed in either case, “-” is displayed in both cases.

  In addition, when a game ball newly wins the start winning unit 33 during the variation display of the first or second special display device 43L, 43R, the corresponding variation display is performed at that time. It is the structure performed after the end of. That is, the variable display is on standby (held). The maximum number of variable displays to be held is determined for each model of the pachinko machine, but in this embodiment, it corresponds to the game ball that won the top winning port 33a and the game ball that won the lower winning port 33b. Then, the variation display up to four times (total eight variation display) is put on hold. In addition, the number of times of holding is lit and displayed by the first holding lamp 46a and the second holding lamp 46b. If a new game ball wins the start winning unit 33 during the big hit state, the corresponding change display is also suspended.

  Basically, the variable display triggered by winning in the top winning opening 33a is stored in the order in which the corresponding game balls have entered the top winning opening 33a and is digested in the order in which they entered, and the bottom winning opening 33b. The change display triggered by winning a prize is stored in the order in which the corresponding game balls have entered the lower winning opening 33b and digested in the order in which they entered. However, when both the variable display triggered by winning in the upper winning opening 33a and the variable display triggered by entering the lower winning opening 33b are held (the first holding lamp 46a and the second holding hold) In the case where one or more lamps 46b are lit), the variable display triggered by the entry into the lower prize opening 33b is preferentially digested. In other words, unless all the variable displays triggered by winning in the lower winning opening 33b are digested, the variable display triggered by entering the upper winning opening 33a is not performed. For example, in the state where one first holding lamp 46a is lit, when a game ball enters the lower winning opening 33b and one second holding lamp 46b lights, the player enters the upper winning opening 33a. The change display that is triggered is postponed, and the change display that is triggered by the ball entering the lower prize opening 33b is performed first. Hereinafter, for convenience of explanation, the fluctuation display triggered by entering the top winning opening 33a is also referred to as “first fluctuation display”, and the fluctuation display triggered by entering the lower winning opening 33b is referred to as “second fluctuation display”. Is also referred to.

  The variable winning device 32 is normally in a closed state in which no game ball can be won, and is in an open state in which a game ball can be won in a big hit state (occurrence of a special game state). Although not shown in the drawings, the variable prize winning device 32 includes a big winning opening (winning opening) leading to the rear of the game board 30, a shutter for opening and closing the big winning opening, and a large winning opening solenoid for operating the shutter. (Driving means) and a count switch 223 for detecting a game ball that has entered the grand prize opening, and the variable prize winning device 32 (large prize opening) is controlled by driving the large prize opening solenoid and opening and closing the shutter. Is switched between a closed state and an open state.

  Further, the through gate 34 is configured such that game balls flowing down the game area can pass one by one. As will be described in detail later, the through gate 34 includes a through gate switch 225 that can detect a game ball passing through the through gate 34. When the game ball is detected by the through gate switch 225, the through gate 34 is started. A pitch assist lottery for determining whether or not the winning unit 33 is in an open state is performed, and a variation display for teaching the result of the pitch assist lottery is performed on the normal symbol display device 41. Then, when a winning is made in the winning assist lottery, the start winning unit 33 (opening / closing member 33c) is opened for a specified time after the end of the variation display.

  The variable display device unit 35 includes a normal symbol display device 41 that variably displays triggered by the passage of the through gate 34, and a decorative symbol display device that variably displays in accordance with the variable display by the first and second special display devices 43L and 43R. 42 is provided. Further, the variable display device unit 35 indicates a variation indicating whether the variation display performed on the decorative symbol display device 42 corresponds to which of the top winning opening 33a and the lower winning opening 33b. A lamp 40, the first holding lamp 46a and the second holding lamp 46b, and a holding lamp 44 are provided.

  The normal symbol display device 41 is configured so that “○” or “×” can be lit as a normal symbol. For example, each time a game ball passes through the through gate 34, the normal symbol is displayed as “O” → “×” → “○” →... Is displayed at high speed (change display). Then, when the change display is stopped for several seconds with the “◯” symbol (winning symbol), the start winning unit 33 (opening / closing member 33c) is opened for a predetermined time. The display contents of the normal symbol display device 41 are directly controlled by a main control device 261 described later.

  In addition, when a game ball newly passes through the through gate 34 during the fluctuation display of the normal symbol display device 41, the corresponding fluctuation display is performed after the end of the fluctuation display at that time. It has become. That is, the variable display is on standby (held). The maximum number of the variable display to be held is determined for each model of the pachinko machine, but in this embodiment, it is held up to 4 times, and the hold number is lit and displayed by the hold lamp 44. Yes.

  The decorative symbol display device 42 is configured as a liquid crystal display device, and display contents are controlled by a sub-control device 262 and a display control device 45 described later. That is, in the decorative symbol display device 42, the sub-control device 262 supports the auxiliary design based on the command from the main control device 261 so as to correspond to the results displayed on the first and second special display devices 43L and 43R. Display contents are determined, and display is performed by the display control device 45 described later.

  The decorative symbol display device 42 is provided with, for example, three symbol display areas, upper, middle, and lower, and a plurality of types of symbols (for example, symbols numbered 1 to 9) are sequentially displayed in each symbol display area. After that, the symbols are stopped and displayed in order for each symbol display area (for example, in the order of the upper symbol display area → the lower symbol display area → the middle symbol display area). For example, when the jackpot is determined by the main control device 261, a display corresponding to the jackpot is made on the first or second special display device 43L, 43R, and the symbol corresponding to the jackpot is displayed on the decorative symbol display device 42. In combination, the symbols are stopped and displayed (for example, the symbols that are stopped and displayed in the upper symbol display region, the middle symbol display region, and the lower symbol display region are the same), and the big hit state is started.

  Further, when symbols are stopped and displayed in combinations corresponding to jackpots, the same symbol is stopped and displayed in the upper symbol display area and the lower symbol display area, for example, as a preceding stage. In this way, the state where the same symbol is stopped and displayed in the upper symbol display area and the lower symbol display area and the variable display is still being performed in the middle symbol display area is the reach state.

  In addition, the variation specifying lamp 40 includes a blue light emitting LED and a red light emitting LED, and the decorative symbol display device 42 displays a variation display triggered by entering the top winning opening 33a. When the display is changed, the light is emitted in blue, and when the variable display is triggered by the entry into the lower prize opening 33b, the light is emitted in red.

  The variable display device unit 35 is provided with a center frame 47 so as to surround the decorative symbol display device 42.

  In this embodiment, the shaft unit 401, the bearing unit 404, the cylinder lock 605, the lock mounting unit 604, and the wire 641 constitute a locking means. In particular, the movable metal fittings 441 of the left bearing unit 404a and the right bearing unit 404b constitute first locking means and second locking means. Furthermore, in this embodiment, the cylinder lock 605 corresponds to a lock means constituting the first unlocking operation means and the second unlocking operation means.

  Next, a series of operations based on key operations of the cylinder lock 605 will be described. As shown in FIG. 33, when a key is inserted into the keyhole 615 of the cylinder lock 605 and turned to the right (first operation), the operation piece 629 of the cam 628 moves the right as shown in FIGS. As the slide piece 624a is pushed down and the pair of wires 641 connected to the right slide piece 624a is pulled downward, as shown in FIG. 20, a pair of upper and lower right bearing units 404b connected to the pair of wires 641 respectively Each of the movable metal fittings 441 is displaced to an allowable position. At this time, the auxiliary hook portion 448 of the movable metal fitting 441 presses the shaft pin 414 to move away from the openable position (the fixed side cutout portion 439 and can be pulled out from the movable side cutout portion 446 and the auxiliary cutout portion 449. It will be displaced to the position. Further, by pulling the right side of the front frame set 14 forward in this state, the front frame set 14 can be opened from the right side as shown in FIG. 21 and eventually FIG.

  When the movable metal fitting 441 presses and displaces the shaft pin 414, or when the shaft pin 414 is removed from the bearing unit 404, the shaft pin 414 is displaced in a follow-up manner as shown in FIG. Abnormal movement is absorbed, and from this, the unlocking of the bearing unit 404 to the opening of the front frame set 14 can be performed relatively smoothly. Further, when the front frame set 14 is opened and the key operation of the cylinder lock 605 is released, the movable metal fitting 441 is moved to the restricted position as shown in FIG. 22 by the biasing force of the bearing coil spring 454 (see FIG. 16). It comes to return.

  Further, when the key is inserted into the key hole 615 of the cylinder lock 605 and rotated to the left (second operation), the left slide piece 624b is pushed down by the operation piece 629 of the cam 628 as shown in FIGS. Then, the pair of wires 641 connected to the left slide piece 624b are pulled downward, and the movable metal fittings 441 of the pair of upper and lower left bearing units 404a connected to the pair of wires 641 are respectively displaced to the allowable positions. It is done. At this time, the auxiliary hook part 448 of the movable metal fitting 441 presses the shaft pin 414 and displaces it to the openable position. Further, by pulling the left side of the front frame set 14 forward in this state, the front frame set 14 can be opened from the left side as shown in FIG.

  When the front frame set 14 in the open state is displaced in the closing direction without performing the key operation of the cylinder lock 605, the shaft pin 414 is moved in front of the fixed side receiving portion 436 or the movable side receiving portion 443. It will contact the edge. The front edge part of the fixed side receiving part 436 and the front edge part of the movable side receiving part 443 of this embodiment are inclined backward toward the center part side of the shaft hole 447 as shown in FIG. For this reason, when the front frame set 14 is forcibly displaced in the closing direction by pressing the shaft pin 414 against the fixed side receiving part 436 or the movable side receiving part 443, the front edge of the fixed side receiving part 436 comes into contact. The shaft pin 414 is guided rearward by the front edge portion of the fixed side receiving portion 436 and to the center side in the horizontal width direction of the inner frame 12, and the movable side receiving portion 443 that is in contact with the shaft pin 414 has an inner frame 12 is pushed away to the center in the width direction, that is, the allowable position. Accordingly, the shaft pin 414 can be inserted into the shaft hole 447 and the front frame set 14 can be closed (locked) without performing any key operation. Of course, even if the right side or left side of the front frame set 14 in the closed state is pulled forward without any key operation, the shaft pin 414 is pulled out from the closed shaft hole 447 to open the front frame set 14. It is configured so that it cannot be allowed.

  Further, for example, when the front frame set 14 is opened from the left side, when the key is inserted into the cylinder lock 605 and turned to the right, the movable bracket 441 of the right bearing unit 404b is allowed as shown in FIG. Although it is displaced to the position, the shaft pin 414 of the right shaft unit 401b cannot be pulled out from the movable side notch 446 of the movable metal fitting 441. That is, due to the left side of the front frame set 14 being open, the reduced diameter portion 421 of the shaft pin 414 of the right shaft unit 401b is the forward / backward opening of the movable metal fitting 441 where the right bearing unit 404b is allowed. The direction cannot be removed from the portion 451. Therefore, when the front frame set 14 is opened from the left side and the right shaft unit 401b and the right bearing unit 404b serve as the rotation shaft of the front frame set 14, the corresponding key operation of the cylinder lock 605 is performed. Even so, it is impossible to open the right side of the front frame set 14, and the state where the shaft pin 414 of the right shaft unit 401b is pivotally supported by the peripheral portion of the shaft hole 447 of the right bearing unit 404b is maintained. It has become so.

  Similarly, even when the front frame set 14 is opened from the right side and the key is inserted into the cylinder lock 605 and turned to the left, the left side of the front frame set 14 cannot be opened. It has become.

  Note that the inner cylinder 614 of the cylinder lock 605 is returned to the reference position by a spring (not shown) built in the cylinder lock 605. Furthermore, since the cylinder lock 605 is attached to the inner frame 12, in order to open the front frame set 14 greatly, it is necessary to extract the key from the key hole 615 of the cylinder lock 605, but even if the key is not extracted, The front frame set 14 can be displaced in the opening direction until the shaft pin 414 comes out of the shaft hole 447 (movable side notch 446).

  Further, as described above, in the present embodiment, the entire cylinder lock 605 is configured to be displaceable back and forth, and by further pushing the key inserted into the key hole 615 of the cylinder lock 605 further back, FIG. As shown in 36, the entire cylinder lock 605 can be displaced rearward while the lock biasing coil spring 627 is contracted. When the entire cylinder lock 605 is displaced rearward, the cam 628 attached to the engagement protrusion 616 of the cylinder lock 605 is also displaced rearward. In this state, the key is rotated to the right (the third operation is performed). ), As shown in FIGS. 31 and 32, the operation piece 629 of the cam 628 is brought into contact with the housing 602 instead of the right slide piece 624a, and the housing 602 is attached to the coil spring 606 for the cage. It can be pushed down against the urging force. Thereby, the latching state of the latching claw 603a of the collar part 603 provided on the casing 602 and the claw receiving parts 84 and 85 provided on the outer frame 11 is released (the inner frame 12 with respect to the outer frame 11 is released). The inner frame 12 can be opened.

  Next, a configuration related to wiring will be described. As shown in FIGS. 10 and 11, an accommodation recess 651 that opens rearward is formed in the upper part of the rear surface of the front frame set 14. In the present embodiment, the housing recess 651 is formed along the upper side portion of the front frame set 14 from a portion slightly on the right side to the left side of the central portion in the left-right direction of the front frame set 14.

  Further, in the present embodiment, an arm 652 is provided to connect between the substantially central portion in the left-right direction at the upper portion of the front surface of the inner frame 12 and the substantially central portion in the left-right direction at the upper portion of the rear surface of the front frame set 14. The arm 652 is configured by pin-joining one end portions of a pair of movable pieces 653 so as to be rotatable, and the other end portion of one movable piece 653 is accommodated in the vicinity of a substantially central portion in the left-right direction of the front frame set 14. The other movable piece 653 is pin-coupled to the inside of the concave portion 651 so as to be rotatable (with the vertical direction as the axis), and the other end of the other movable piece 653 is set to the vicinity of the substantially central portion in the left-right direction of the upper front surface of the inner frame 12. It is pinned so that it can rotate freely. Accordingly, the arm 652 is configured to be able to bend and stretch in the opening / closing direction of the front frame set 14, and is extended (expanded) when the front frame set 14 is opened, and is folded when the front frame set 14 is closed. It has become. Further, the arm 652 supports the front frame set 14 in cooperation with the shaft unit 401 and the bearing unit 404, so that it not only functions as a guide for opening and closing operations of the front frame set 14, but also the shaft unit 401 and the bearing. The burden on the unit 404 can be reduced.

  In addition, the arm 652 is configured to be folded to the left side when the front frame set 14 is opened from either the left or right side. Further, the length of the movable piece 653 alone is shorter than the left and right formation widths of the housing recess 651, and the width of the movable piece 653 is smaller than the depth of the housing recess 651. For this reason, when the front frame set 14 is closed, the entire arm 652 is accommodated in the accommodating recess 651.

  Further, a front frame relay board 654 that is electrically connected to various lamps (annular illumination part 102, etc.) and speakers SP provided on the front frame set 14 is provided on the upper rear surface of the front frame set 14.

When the power of the pachinko machine 10 is turned on with the RAM erase switch 323 pressed (including power-on due to power failure cancellation), the data in the respective RAMs 503 and 513 are cleared in the main controller 261 and the payout controller 311. The

  As described above in detail, in the present embodiment, the front frame set 14 is configured to be openable from either the left or right side, so that convenience and the like can be improved. That is, even when there is a predetermined obstacle adjacent to the left or right side of the pachinko machine 10, the front frame can be opened without being obstructed by the obstacle because the opposite side of the front frame set 14 can be opened. The work can be performed with the set 14 opened. In addition, when the front frame set 14 is opened and a work is performed on a member arranged on one rotating shaft side of the front frame set 14 among the rear side of the front frame set 14 or the front side of the inner frame 12, If the other rotation axis of the set 14 is opened as a center, workability can be improved by opening the front frame set 14. Furthermore, since the front frame set 14 is configured to be lockable, an illegal act by opening the front frame set 14 can be suppressed.

  In the present embodiment, the movable metal fitting 441 of the bearing unit 404 is rotationally displaced relative to the fixed metal fitting 431, thereby preventing the shaft pin 414 inserted through the shaft hole 447 from being detached, The shaft pin 414 inserted into the shaft hole 447 is allowed to be removed. Therefore, by configuring the bearing unit 404 to also have a locking function, the shaft unit 401 can be more suitably supported while simplifying the configuration and the like.

  Furthermore, according to the present embodiment, in a state where the left and right side portions of the front frame set are opened, a key operation for unlocking the locked state on the left and right other side portions is performed, and the corresponding bearing unit 404 Even if the movable metal fitting 441 is displaced to the allowable position, the corresponding shaft pin 414 is configured not to be removed from the shaft hole 447 of the bearing unit 404. Therefore, it is possible to avoid a situation in which the left and right side portions of the front frame set 14 are simultaneously unlocked, and the front frame set 14 can be more reliably prevented from falling off.

  In addition, when the key operation of the cylinder lock 605 is performed in order to unlock the left and right sides of the front frame set 14, the movable fitting 441 of the corresponding bearing unit 404 is displaced to the allowable position, and the shaft hole 447 is formed. The shaft pin 414 that has been inserted into the shaft hole 447 is opened by the auxiliary hook portion 448 provided integrally with the movable metal fitting 441 (opening / retreating opening 451 is formed). It is moved away from the fixed-side notch 439 and moved to a position where it can be removed from the movable-side notch 446 and the auxiliary notch 449. Thereby, the opening operation | work of the front frame set 14 can be performed smoothly.

  When the front frame set 14 in the open state is closed, the front frame set 14 is pressed against the inner frame 12 without performing any key operation, so that the movable fitting 441 of the bearing unit 404 is supported by the shaft pin 414. The shaft pin 414 can be inserted into the shaft hole 447 by pivoting and displacing the shaft to open the advance / retreat opening 451. For this reason, compared with the case where it is necessary to perform a key operation when closing, it is possible to prevent a significant decrease in workability and to unlock the left and right opposite sides of the front frame set 14 by mistake, The situation where the inner frame 12 is unlocked can be avoided.

  In addition, in this embodiment, since one cylinder lock 605 can perform an operation of unlocking the left side portion and the right side portion of the front frame set 14 and an operation of unlocking the inner frame 12, respectively, It is possible to improve the lock workability and simplify the configuration. In particular, when the key is inserted into the key hole 615 and turned to the right, the right side of the front frame set 14 is unlocked, and when the key is inserted into the key hole 615 and turned to the left, the left side of the front frame set 14 is unlocked. Assignment of the release operation of the cylinder lock 605 is performed such that the inner frame 12 is unlocked by inserting the key into the keyhole 615 and then further pushing the key back (backward) and turning it. For this reason, it is possible to easily grasp the correspondence.

  Further, the shaft pin 414 of the present embodiment is configured to be displaceable to the left and right along the rear surface of the front frame set 14. For this reason, the operation of inserting the shaft pin 414 into the shaft hole 447 through the advance / retreat opening 451 or pulling it out from the shaft hole 447 can be performed relatively smoothly. Furthermore, the movable metal fitting 441 (movable side receiving portion 443) is provided closer to the center in the width direction of the inner frame 12 than the fixed metal fitting 431 (fixed side receiving portion 436). For this reason, it is not necessary to secure a room for the movable metal fitting 441 to be displaced to the allowable position on the left and right side portions of the inner frame 12 relative to the bearing unit 404, and the bearing unit 404 is made as far as possible on the left and right sides of the inner frame 12. It can be arranged close to the part. Therefore, the opening / closing axis of the front frame set 14 can be arranged at a suitable position, and space efficiency can be improved.

  For example, when the inner frame connector 657 is provided near the right side of the inner frame 12 and the front frame connector 655 is provided near the right side of the front frame set 14, the front frame set 14 is opened from the right side. Even if the front frame harness 658 is extended so that the electrical connection is not broken even when the front frame set 14 is closed, the front frame harness 658 may be relatively loosened. When the front frame harness 658 is loosened, the front frame harness 658 hangs down, and when the front frame harness 658 hangs down, for example, the front frame set 14 cannot be closed, or the front frame harness 658 is exposed to a game area or the like. There is a risk of causing various problems such as. For this reason, when the front frame set 14 is brought into the closed state, the front frame harness 658 needs to be accommodated appropriately. However, when the slack of the front frame harness 658 is relatively large, the front frame harness 658 is accommodated. There is a concern that will become relatively difficult. Due to this, a device for causing the workability to be significantly reduced or for automatically storing the slacked front frame harness 658 (a mechanism for winding the front frame harness 658 using a spring or the like) ) May be complicated.

  In this regard, according to the present embodiment, the front frame connector 655 and the inner frame connector 657 that are electrically connected to the front frame harness 658 are disposed at substantially the center in the width direction of the front frame set 14 and the inner frame 12, respectively. Even if the front frame set 14 is opened from either the left or right side, the distance between the front frame connector 655 and the inner frame connector 657 is substantially the same as long as the opening angle is the same. ing. Thereby, the length of the front frame harness 658 spanned between the front frame set 14 and the inner frame 12 required to open the front frame set 14 on both the right and left sides can be shortened as much as possible. Therefore, the slack of the front frame harness 658 when the front frame set 14 is closed can be suppressed as much as possible (reducing the amount of slack of the front frame harness 658). As a result, when the front frame set 14 is in a closed state, the work for storing the front frame harness 658 is simplified, and the configuration for automatically performing the work is simplified. Can do.

  Further, according to the present embodiment, as the front frame set 14 is opened and closed, the central portion in the lateral width direction of the upper rear surface of the front frame set 14 is connected to the central portion in the lateral width direction of the upper front portion of the inner frame 12. An arm 652 that can be bent and stretched is provided. Further, the front frame relay board 654 that is electrically connected to various lamps and the like provided on the front frame set 14 has a front frame connector 655 that is connected to the front frame harness 658, and an upper rear surface of the front frame set 14. It is arrange | positioned so that it may be located near the center part of the horizontal width direction. In addition, the inner frame relay board 656 that is electrically connected to the sub-control device 262 has the inner frame connector 657 that is connected to the front frame harness 658 positioned in the vicinity of the central portion in the lateral width direction of the upper front of the inner frame 12. Are arranged to be. The front frame harness 658 extends along the arm 652 so that when the front frame set 14 is opened, the front frame harness 658 expands together with the arm 652 and the front frame set 14 is closed. When this is done, the front frame harness 658 is folded together with the arm 652 and is accommodated in the accommodating recess 651 formed on the rear surface side of the front frame set 14. Therefore, when the front frame set 14 is in the closed state, the front frame harness 658 can be prevented from drooping, and the front frame harness 658 can be suitably stored together with the arm 652.

  In addition, the arm 652 and the front frame harness 658 are provided so as to be bridged between the front frame set 14 and the central portion of the inner frame 12 in the horizontal width direction. Even if the predetermined angle is the same, the extension amount of the arm 652 and the front frame harness 658 is substantially the same. As a result, the front frame harness 658 can be extended without difficulty even if the front frame set 14 is opened from either the left or right side, and the front frame harness 658 can be prevented from hanging down in addition to the arm 652. There is no need to provide a configuration, and the configuration can be simplified. Also, by providing the arm 652, the front frame set 14 can be supported in cooperation with the bearing unit 404, and the burden on the bearing unit 404 can be reduced.

  Further, in the present embodiment, when the front frame set 14 is opened from either the left or right side, when the front frame set 14 is opened slightly less than 90 degrees, the cover 428 ( The opening peripheral edge portion of the insertion opening 429 is in contact with it, and further displacement in the opening direction is restricted. In this way, the maximum opening amount (maximum opening angle) of the front frame set 14 is limited, so that a problem caused by the front frame set 14 opening too much, for example, a pachinko machine adjacent to the pachinko machine 10 It is possible to prevent a situation in which the front frame set 14 comes into contact with a player who is playing the pachinko machine. In particular, in the present embodiment, since the front frame set 14 is configured to be openable from either the left or right side, even if the front frame set 14 opens only about 90 degrees, the front frame set 14 is The opening operation can be performed smoothly without any hindrance. Further, it is possible to avoid a situation in which the front frame set 14 is opened beyond the limit of extension of the front frame harness 658, and it is possible to prevent the front frame harness 658 from being detached or damaged. . Furthermore, in the present embodiment, since the opening of the front frame set 14 is limited before the arm 652 is fully extended, the arm 652 can be fully extended while suppressing damage to the arm 652 and the like. It is possible to avoid a situation where the arm 652 is difficult to contract (it is difficult to fold).

  In addition, it is not limited to the description content of embodiment mentioned above, For example, you may implement as follows.

  (A) In the above embodiment, the front frame set 14 is shaped to cover the entire front surface of the inner frame 12, but is not particularly limited to such a configuration, for example, as shown in FIG. As described above, a lower plate unit 701 to which the lower plate 15 and the handle 18 are attached is provided at the lower part of the front surface of the inner frame 12, and corresponding to the range excluding the lower plate unit 701 in front of the inner frame 12, It is good also as the front frame set 14 being attached so that opening and closing is possible. In this case, the weight of the front frame set 14 can be reduced, and the burden on the shaft unit 401 and the bearing unit 404 can be reduced.

  Further, in the above embodiment, the front frame set 14 is configured to be openable from either the left or right side, and is configured to be locked on both the left and right sides, but in addition to the configuration, or Instead, other doors (for example, the inner frame 12, the back pack unit 203, and the lower plate unit 701 when the lower plate unit 701 is configured to be openable) can be opened from either the left or right side. You may be comprised so that locking is possible.

  (B) In the above embodiment, as shown in FIG. 37, the operator places his / her hand within the range including the center in the left-right direction of the upper surface of the front frame set 14 and the vicinity thereof (slightly to the right with the cylinder lock 605). It is good also as providing the recessed part 702 for operation | work which can be hooked and can pull the front frame set 14 ahead. In this case, when the operator operates the key of the cylinder lock 605 to release the front frame set 14 from the left side that is opposite to the right side where the cylinder lock 605 is provided, the operator can set the front frame set 14. The front frame set 14 can be opened relatively smoothly by placing a hand on the working recess 702 without turning the hand to the left side. Therefore, the opening workability of the front frame set 14 can be improved.

  (C) In the above embodiment, the movable metal fitting 441 is rotated and displaced, and the shaft hole 447 is opened and closed to lock and unlock the front frame set 14, but separately from the bearing unit 404, A configuration for locking the front frame set 14 may be provided. For example, the shaft hole 447 is configured to always open, and the shaft pin 414 cannot be removed from the shaft hole 447 unless the pin member 412 slides in the left-right direction. Thus, a movable member that is displaced from a position that restricts displacement of the pin member 412 to a position where interference with the pin member 412 is avoided based on a key operation of the cylinder lock 605 may be provided.

  Further, in the above embodiment, the movable metal fitting 441 is provided closer to the center in the width direction of the inner frame 12 than the fixed metal fitting 431, but the fixing metal fitting 431 is configured to be located in the center in the horizontal width direction of the inner frame 12. May be. In this case, when the front frame set 14 is forcibly pulled without performing a key operation (when the handle 18 is lifted up by grabbing the handle 18 even if not intended), a force in the opening direction is applied to the front frame set 14. The situation of adding can be suppressed. In addition, when the configuration is employed, the front frame set 14 can be reliably and smoothly configured by allowing the shaft pin 414 to be displaced to the side of the front frame set 14 (the side opposite to the above embodiment). Can be opened and closed.

  (D) In the above embodiment, in a state where the left and right side portions of the front frame set 14 are opened, the movable metal fitting 441 corresponding to the left and right other side portions is displaced to the allowable position, but the shaft pin 414 has the shaft hole 447. The front frame set 14 is configured to prevent inadvertent dropout so that the front frame set 14 cannot be removed, but the present invention is not particularly limited to such a configuration. For example, in a state where the left and right side portions of the front frame set 14 are opened, the movable fitting 441 of the bearing unit 404 on the left and right other side portions is moved to the allowable position even if the corresponding unlocking operation of the cylinder lock 605 is performed. It may be configured such that it cannot be displaced (the key operation and the movable fitting 441 are not interlocked, or the movement of the slide piece 624 and the movable fitting 441 is restricted by a stopper or the like). The electronic control is configured such that when one of the front frame sets 14 is opened, the other is not opened (for example, switching control is performed based on detection of opening of the front frame set 14 by the front frame open detection switch 91). Although it is possible, it is preferable to implement with a mechanical configuration so as to operate reliably even when power is not supplied.

  Further, in the above embodiment, the cylinder lock 605 is attached to the front frame set 14, and the configuration of the cam 628 provided on the inner frame 12 is interlocked by operating the cylinder lock 605 with the front frame set 14 closed. Then, the front frame set 14 may be unlocked. In this case, in a state where the front frame set 14 is open, the slide piece 624 cannot be moved even if the key operation of the cylinder lock 605 is performed. The situation where both are unlocked and the front frame set 14 falls off can be avoided more reliably.

  The configuration for interlocking the key operation of the cylinder lock 605 and the movable metal fitting 441 of the bearing unit 404 is not particularly limited, and the design can be changed as appropriate. Furthermore, in the above-described embodiment, the entire cylinder lock 605 is configured to be displaceable back and forth, but the inner cylinder 614 may be configured to be relatively displaceable back and forth with respect to the outer cylinder 611. Further, lock means other than the cylinder lock 605 (card key, password key, IC key, etc.) may be employed. Furthermore, the position of the cylinder lock 605 is not particularly limited, and can be provided near the left side of the pachinko machine 10 or near the center in the lateral width direction. It should be noted that the front frame set 14 may not be unlocked or difficult unless it is a release operation means such as the cylinder lock 605 or the like.

  (E) In the above-described embodiment, the front frame connector 655 and the inner frame connector 657 are provided at the substantially central portion in the horizontal width direction of the front frame set 14 and the inner frame 12, but are particularly limited to such a configuration. is not. That is, in the closed state of the front frame set 14, the front frame connector 655 and the inner frame connector 657 are provided at positions that are symmetrical with each other around the center in the horizontal width direction of the front frame set 14 and the inner frame 12. The distance between the front frame connector 655 and the inner frame connector 657 can be made equal if the opening angle is the same regardless of whether the front frame set 14 is opened from the left or right side. The slack of the front frame harness 658 when the is closed can be suppressed as much as possible.

  (F) For example, as shown in FIGS. 38 to 40, the front frame connector 655 is disposed near the right side of the front frame set 14, and the inner frame connector 657 is disposed near the left side of the inner frame 12. Also good. When the configuration is adopted, when the right side portion of the front frame set 14 is opened, the front frame harness 658 extends along the rear surface of the front frame set 14, and when the left side portion of the front frame set 14 is opened, the inner frame 12, the front frame harness 658 extends along the front surface, but the distance between the front frame connector 655 and the inner frame connector 657 is the same if the opening degree is the same regardless of which side is opened. Are almost the same.

  It is to be noted that a similar effect can be obtained by arranging the front frame connector 655 near the left side of the front frame set and arranging the inner frame connector 657 near the right side of the inner frame 12. That is, when the left side portion of the front frame set 14 is opened, the front frame harness 658 extends along the rear surface of the front frame set 14. When the right side portion of the front frame set 14 is opened, the front frame harness 658 extends along the front surface of the inner frame 12. The front frame harness 658 extends, but the distance between the front frame connector 655 and the inner frame connector 657 is substantially the same if the opening degree is the same regardless of which side the harness 658 is opened from. .

  Furthermore, in these configurations, the change in the distance between the front frame connector 655 and the inner frame connector 657 is minimized as much as possible (when there is almost no change) between when the front frame set 14 is opened and when it is closed. be able to. Therefore, the amount of slack of the front frame harness 658 when the front frame set 14 is closed can be drastically reduced. In this example, when the front frame set 14 is opened, the front frame harness 658 extends along the front surface of the inner frame 12 and the rear surface of the front frame set 14 (substantially sticking). Therefore, it is possible to suppress a situation in which the front frame harness 658 obstructs the work of opening the front frame set 14. In addition, even if the front frame connector 655 and the inner frame connector 657 are disposed on one side of the front frame set 14 and the other side of the inner frame 12, the front frame set 14 can be opened from both the left and right sides. Therefore, it is possible to avoid a situation in which work on either one becomes relatively difficult.

  (G) When the configuration of (f) is adopted, as shown in FIGS. 41 and 42, the front frame set 14 is slidable up and down on the front side of the inner frame 12, and the front frame set 14 is closed. It is good also as providing the lifting guide 711 accommodated in the accommodation recessed part 651. That is, the front surface of the lifting guide 711 is inclined backward toward the lower side. On the other hand, the receiving recess 651 is formed with a receiving recess 712 configured to be one step lower at a position corresponding to the lifting guide 711, and the vertical width of the receiving recess 651 in the receiving recess 712 is larger than the vertical width of the lifting guide 711. ing. In the open state of the front frame set 14, the middle position in the vertical direction on the front surface of the lifting guide 711 and the lower edge of the receiving recess 712 are at the same height. When the front frame set 14 is rotated and displaced in the closing direction, the loose front frame harness 658 is supported on the upper surface of the lifting guide 711 (depending on the amount of loosening), and eventually the lifting guide 711 The front surface is in contact with the lower edge of the receiving recess 712. By pushing the front frame set 14 in this state, the lifting guide 711 is guided upward, and the lifting guide 711 lifts the front frame harness 658 that is about to hang down. This prevents the front frame harness 658 from drooping more reliably when the front frame set 14 is closed, and allows the front frame set 14 to be closed each time the front frame set 14 is closed without enlarging the receiving recess 651. The harness 658 can be properly stored in the storage recess 651.

  (H) In the above embodiment, the intermediate position between the left shaft unit 401a (left bearing unit 404a) and the right shaft unit 401b (right bearing unit 404b), and the front frame set 14 (inner frame 12). However, it may be displaced. In this case, by providing the front frame connector 655 and the inner frame connector 657 at symmetrical positions with the central portion between the left and right axes as the center, the opening angle can be increased regardless of whether the front frame set 14 is opened from the left or right side. If they are approximately the same, the distance between the front frame connector 655 and the inner frame connector 657 can be approximately the same.

  Of course, the left shaft unit 401a (the left bearing unit 404a) and the right shaft unit 401b (the right bearing unit 404b) are not symmetrically positioned around the center in the lateral width direction of the front frame set 14 (inner frame 12). Alternatively, they may be shifted.

  In order to prevent the front frame harness 658 from being loosened when the front frame set 14 is opened, a means for always pulling the front frame harness 658 so that tension is always applied to the front frame harness 658 is provided. Although it is conceivable to provide a winding means for the frame harness 658, in this case, there is a concern that the front frame harness 658 may be damaged, and there is a possibility that the configuration becomes complicated and the risk of failure increases. As described in the above embodiment and the above (f) and (g), it is preferable to suppress loosening without pulling or winding the front frame harness 658.

  (I) In the above embodiment, for example, a guide (for example, a guide roller) that defines the extending direction of the front frame harness 658 with respect to at least one of the rear surface of the front frame set 14 and the front surface of the inner frame 12. It is good also as providing. For example, when the front frame set 14 is provided with the guide, the front frame harness 658 extends along the rear surface of the front frame set 14 from the front frame connector 655 to the guide. , It extends in the direction intersecting the rear surface of the front frame set 14 toward the inner frame 12 side. Further, when the guide is used, the front frame set 14 and the inner frame 12 can be opened even if the front frame set 655 and the inner frame connector 657 are not arranged at relative positions and the front frame set 14 is opened from either the left or right side. The length of the front frame harness 658 spanned between the two can be configured to be substantially equal. For this reason, the freedom degree of the installation position of the front frame connector 655 and the inner frame connector 657 can be improved. In addition, it is also possible to use the guide only in one of the front frame set 14 and the inner frame 12 instead of both. When the guide is not used as in the above embodiment, the length of the front frame harness 658 can be shortened as much as possible.

  (J) In the above embodiment, the auxiliary hook part 448 of the movable metal fitting 441 is integrally provided. However, the auxiliary hook part 448 is provided so as to be rotatable with respect to the movable side receiving part 443 (pin-joined). A function position in which the auxiliary notch 449 of the auxiliary collar 448 draws an arc along the outer periphery of the shaft pin 414 together with the movable side notch 446 as in the above embodiment, and the auxiliary collar 448 is movable side receiving. You may comprise so that it can displace between the cancellation | release positions which dive into the lower part of the part 443. FIG. In this case, for example, after opening the left and right sides of the front frame set 14, the auxiliary hook of the movable bracket 441 of the opened bearing unit 404 is displaced to the release position, and the front frame set 14 is closed again. As a state, this time, the left and right other side portions of the front frame set 14 are opened. In this state, the front frame set 14 can be detached from the inner frame 12 by performing the unlocking operation on the left and right sides of the front frame set 14. By adopting this configuration, the front frame set 14 may not be configured to be removable by performing the unlocking operation on the left and right other sides in a state where the left and right sides of the front frame set 14 are slightly opened. Improvement of crime prevention performance and inadvertent dropping of the front frame set 14 can be prevented more reliably.

  Moreover, when employ | adopting the said structure, it is good also as providing the stopper which prevents the displacement by the side which the advance / retreat opening part 451 of the auxiliary collar part 448 in a cancellation | release position spreads. Further, when the front frame set 14 is attached, a configuration for preventing a situation in which the auxiliary hook portion 448 is forgotten to be returned to the functional position, for example, detection is performed by a sensor or a switch and a predetermined notification is made. You may comprise so that a key may not be successful unless the auxiliary hook part 448 is returned to a functional position, or the front frame set 14 may not be closed properly.

  (K) In the above embodiment, when the key operation for unlocking the front frame set 14 is performed, the shaft pin 414 is displaced when the movable metal fitting 441 of the corresponding bearing unit 404 is displaced to the allowable position. However, the auxiliary pin portion 448 of the movable metal fitting 441 may be omitted so that the shaft pin 414 is not displaced.

  (L) In the above embodiment, only by performing key operation of the cylinder lock 605 for unlocking the front frame set 14, the side portion of the front frame set 14 corresponding to the key operation is slightly displaced in the opening direction ( You may comprise so that it may protrude. In this case, it can be grasped instantaneously which side of the front frame set 14 can be opened by the key operation. Accordingly, when an operator who is not familiar with the operation of the pachinko machine 10 performs the unlocking operation when performing the opening operation of the front frame set 14 that can open both the left and right sides, the left and right sides of the front frame set 14 are for the time being. Compared with a configuration in which it is possible to recognize which side is unlocked only by applying a force in the opening direction to one side of the part, it is possible to dramatically improve workability. Further, the front frame set 14 can be opened by placing a finger on the rear surface of the open side of the front frame set 14. For this reason, in order to make it easy to open the front frame set 14 on the side surface of the front frame set 14, there is no need to form a concave portion or a convex portion that can be hooked with a finger. Therefore, by forming the concave portion on the side surface of the front frame set 14, the space inside the front frame set 14 is narrowed, or by forming the convex portion on the side surface of the front frame set 14, the pachinko machine 10 It is possible to improve the manufacturing workability while avoiding problems such as an extra installation space being required.

  In addition, after the key operation of the cylinder lock 605 is performed, the key operation is released without opening the front frame set 14 (the inner cylinder 614 and the cam 628 of the cylinder lock 605 are returned to the standard posture). You may comprise so that the side part of the front frame set 14 corresponding to the said key operation may return to the state which the front frame set 14 closed completely from the state slightly displaced (projected) in the opening direction. In this case, when the key operation is performed and it is noticed that the opposite side portion side of the front frame set 14 is opened instead of the desired side portion side, the protruding side portion side of the front frame set 14 is opened. Even if the operation of pushing in the rear side is not performed, the desired side portion of the front frame set 14 can be opened only by turning the key to the opposite side. Therefore, the opening / closing workability of the front frame set 14 can be improved.

  As an example, the fixed side receiving portion 436 and the movable side receiving portion 443 in a state where the movable metal fitting 441 is in the restricting position are configured to be inclined and extend toward the left and right side portions of the inner frame 12. When the movable metal fitting 441 is pivotally displaced to the permissible position, the shaft pin 414 is pressed by the auxiliary hook portion 448 toward the center side in the width direction of the inner frame 12 and forward, and the corresponding side portion of the front frame set 14 is moved. The side protrudes slightly forward. Further, when the movable metal fitting 441 is rotated and displaced to the restriction position in a state where the shaft pin 414 is not pulled out from the movable side cutout portion 439 and the auxiliary cutout portion 449, the shaft pin 414 is moved to the movable side receiving portion 443 (movable side cutout portion 443). The front frame set 14 returns to a completely closed state (the left and right sides of the front frame set 14 are locked). It may be configured as follows. In this case, the auxiliary hook part 448 (particularly the inner peripheral surface of the auxiliary notch part 449) constitutes the pressing means, and the movable side receiving part 443 (particularly the inner peripheral surface of the movable side notch part 446) constitutes the pulling back means. . In addition, for example, an extruding unit that displaces the shaft pin 414 in the opening direction side of the front frame set 14 is provided, and a driving unit that drives the extruding unit is driven by a key operation as a trigger. Then, the pushing means may be configured to push the shaft pin 414 forward.

  (M) In the configuration of (l) above, when the key operation of the cylinder lock 605 is performed and the key operation is released without performing the other opening operation of the front frame set 14 (when the hand is released from the key), The front frame set 14 is configured to automatically return to a completely closed state. However, when the unlocking operation of the front frame set 14 is performed and the unlocked side portion protrudes, Even if the key operation is released, the corresponding movable metal fitting 441 does not return to the restriction position, and is maintained at the allowable position (the side part that has been unlocked and protrudes forward is not pushed into the inner frame 12 side). (It is not locked). In this case, it is possible to avoid a situation in which the left side of the front frame set 14 has to be pulled forward while performing key operations so as to open the left side of the front frame set 14. Improvements can be made. Further, the front frame set 14 does not have to be configured so that a small amount can be opened to the extent that the shaft pin 414 comes out of the shaft hole 447 with the key inserted into the cylinder lock 605, which is not preferable in terms of appearance and security. The configuration (cylinder opening 619; see FIG. 3) can be simplified while suppressing a situation in which the front frame set 14 is formed to be relatively large.

  Further, when the unlocking operation of the front frame set 14 is performed, the shaft pins 414 of the corresponding shaft units 401a and 401b are released from the shaft holes 447 (and thus the inner peripheries of the auxiliary cutout portion 449 and the movable cutout portion 446). It may be configured to be pushed out (the front frame set 14 is not automatically closed even if the key operation is released). Also in this case, the opening operation of the front frame set 14 can be smoothly performed as in the above configuration.

  (N) In the above embodiment, a pair of front and back flat portions 423 are formed on the reduced diameter portion 421 of the shaft pin 414 to form a substantially oval cross section, but the invention is not particularly limited to such a configuration. For example, it may be configured such that the width changes depending on the orientation, for example, by having a substantially D-shaped cross section.

  Further, in the above embodiment, the front frame set 14 is configured to be able to open up to a little less than 90 degrees from either the left or right side, but may be configured to be able to open larger than that, or to a smaller angle. You may comprise so that it can open only. In addition, the angle at which the front frame set 14 can be opened may be different between the right side and the left side, and further, for example, the front frame set 14 is only opened when the side that can be largely opened is opened most. May be configured so that it can not be removed from the inner frame 12, for example, depending on whether the left or right side of the front frame set 14 is opened.

  Further, the arm 652 may be configured to limit the maximum opening amount (maximum opening angle) of the front frame set 14. However, since it becomes difficult to bend when the arm 652 is fully extended, it is preferable that further opening of the front frame set 14 is restricted before the arm 652 is fully extended. Further, in order to suppress damage to the arm 652, More preferably, this is achieved with configurations other than 652. Further, in the above-described embodiment, both ends of the arm 652 are pin-joined so as not to slide and displace with respect to the front frame set 14 and the inner frame 12, respectively. You may connect so that a slide displacement is possible in the left-right direction. In the above embodiment, the arm 652 is configured to be folded only on the left side, but may be configured to be folded only on the right side, or may be folded on either the left or right side. May be.

  (O) In the above embodiment, two sets of the shaft unit 401 and the bearing unit 404 are provided corresponding to the right side and the left side of the front frame set 14, respectively, but there may be three or more sets. One is also acceptable.

When various troubles such as ball clogging occur in a game area or the like formed between them, the front frame is opened to cope with it (see, for example, JP-A-2003-154110).

  By the way, even if the front frame is opened, there is a problem that it is difficult to work on the part of the front frame on the rotating shaft side. In particular, in recent years, there is a tendency for the game area to be expanded, and accordingly, the work range when the front frame is opened extends to the vicinity of the rotation axis of the front frame. Has become more prominent. In addition, the said subject is not restricted to a pachinko machine, It is a problem applicable also to other game machines, such as a slot machine.

  The present invention has been made to solve the above-described problems and the like, and its purpose is to perform the operation of opening the door more smoothly while preventing unauthorized opening of the door. It is to provide a game machine that can be used.

Means B-1. A door mounting frame; a door body supported so as to be openable and closable with respect to the door mounting frame; and locking means for locking the door body to the door mounting frame.

The door-side wiring locking means and the frame-side wiring locking means are approximately equal to the predetermined angle when the door body is opened at a predetermined angle from the left and right side portions and from the left and right other side portions. And a door-side wiring locking means and a frame-side wiring locking means are relatively disposed so that the distance between the door-side wiring locking means and the frame-side wiring locking means is substantially equal.

  According to the means B-1, since the door body is configured to be openable from either the left or right side, it is possible to improve convenience and the like. That is, even when there is a predetermined obstacle (for example, a wall, another gaming machine, a person, etc.) adjacent to the left or right side of the gaming machine, the opposite side of the door can be opened, The work can be performed with the door open without being obstructed by an obstacle. In addition, when the door body is opened and work is performed on a member that is disposed on the one rotation axis side of the door body or the door mounting frame, the door body is opened around the other rotation axis. In this case, it is possible to improve workability by opening the door. Furthermore, since the door body is configured to be lockable, it is possible to suppress an illegal act by opening the door body.

  Also, for example, when the frame side wiring locking means is provided near the right side of the door mounting frame and the door side wiring locking means is provided near the right side of the door body, the door body is opened from the right side. Even when the door is closed, the harness extended so as not to break the electrical connection may be loosened relatively large. When the harness slacks, the harness hangs down, and when the harness hangs down, for example, the door body may not be closed or the harness may be exposed to a visually recognizable game area or the like. For this reason, it is necessary to appropriately accommodate the harness when the door body is closed, but there is a concern that the harness may be relatively difficult to be accommodated if the harness is relatively loose. The Due to this, the workability is significantly lowered, or the configuration is complicated such as providing a device (such as a mechanism for winding the harness using a spring spring) to automatically store a slack harness. There is a risk of instability.

  In this regard, according to the present means B-1, even if the door body is opened from either the left or right side, if the opening angle is approximately the same, the harness of the portion spanned between the door body and the door mounting frame Are configured to have substantially the same length. Thereby, the length of the harness spanned between the door body and the door mounting frame required for opening the door body at a predetermined angle on both the left and right sides can be shortened as much as possible. Therefore, the slack of the harness when the door is closed can be suppressed as much as possible (the amount of slack of the harness can be reduced). As a result, when the door body is in a closed state, it is possible to simplify the operation for storing the harness, simplify the configuration for automatically performing the operation, and the like.

  The door side wiring locking means and the frame side wiring locking means include a connector (receiving side connector) connected to a harness (a plug-in side connector thereof) and a guide for defining the extending direction of the harness. . That is, in the means B-1, it is bridged straight between the attachment frame side connector provided on the board provided on the door attachment frame and the door side connector provided on the board provided on the door body side. In addition to the case where the harness is extended in this way, a configuration in which a guide that defines the extending direction of the harness is interposed in the middle (for example, the harness is placed along the rear surface of the door body from the door side connector to the guide) The guide extends beyond the guide so that the guide extends at a bending point so as to extend in the direction intersecting the rear surface of the door body toward the door mounting frame. When using the guide, the door-side connector and the mounting frame-side connector itself are not placed in relative positions, and the door is spanned between the door and the door mounting frame regardless of whether the door is opened from the left or right side. It is possible to configure the length of the harness to be approximately equal. For this reason, the freedom degree of the installation position of a door side connector and a mounting frame side connector can be improved. In addition, it is possible to use the guide only in one of the door body and the door mounting frame.

  Means B-2.
