It prevents the sound in the enclosure 624 of the main body frame speaker 622 from leaking from between the connecting tubular portion 43a and the connecting portion 621c.

[0067] According to the grill member 46 of the present embodiment, the air vibration emitted from the interior space 40a of the curtain plate by the main body frame speaker 622 to the outside is absorbed by the plurality of inclined vanes 46b, and the handle cover unit 290 in the diagonally upper front direction. can be directed into the front cylindrical portion 291a of the handle cover base 291 in which the handle unit 180 is accommodated through the cutout opening 295b on the lower side of the handle cover 295 in the . As a result, when the player is rotating the handle 195 (striking device for the game ball B) by sticking his or her finger inside the handle cover 295 (the front cylindrical portion 291a of the handle cover base 291), the body frame By vibrating the speaker 622 and blowing air into the front cylindrical portion 291a, the player can be surprised and an unprecedented performance can be performed.

[0068] Further, since the port member 47 is opened forward, part of the sound pressure emitted from the port member 47 through the plurality of vanes 46b of the grill member 46 is emitted forward. Therefore, the ball is discharged from the port member 47 to a player seated in front of the pachinko machine 1 and other players who are wandering in the game hall where the pachinko machine 1 is installed. The pachinko machine 1 is highly appealing to the player, because the effect sound can attract the player's interest even by the effect sound.

[0069] Further, since the port member 47 is provided in the outer frame lower assembly 40 of the outer frame 2 with respect to the enclosure 624 of the main body frame speaker 622 provided in the main body frame 4, the volume of the enclosure 624 can be increased. Therefore, it is possible to output an effect sound with a deeper bass, and it is possible to amuse the player and prevent the player from losing interest in the game.

It will happen. At this time, since the upper end side of the first arm 136 is attached to the right of the rotation center of the first cam member 134, the second cam member 135 is rotated counterclockwise by the first arm 136. On the other hand, the second arm 137 has its upper end side attached below the center of rotation of the first cam member 134, so that the second cam member 135 is reversed from the second arm 137. Almost no force acts to rotate it in the clockwise direction.

[0139] Thus, when the first cam member 134 rotates counterclockwise from the normal state, force is transmitted mainly through the first arm 136, causing the second cam member 135 to rotate counterclockwise. direction, and the rotation transmission member 133 rotates together with the second cam member 135 . The force acting upward due to the rotation of the first cam member 134 in the counterclockwise direction is generated by the portion where the first arm 136 and the second arm 137 are attached to the first cam member 134 and the portion where the first cam member 134 is attached. It is proportional to the horizontal distance between the center of rotation of 134. Therefore, as the first cam member 134 rotates counterclockwise from the normal state, the upward force acting on the first arm 136 decreases, while the second arm 137 acts upward. greater power to do so.

[0140] Therefore, when the rotation angle of the first cam member 134 in the counterclockwise direction exceeds 45 degrees from the normal state, the upward force acting on the second arm 137 becomes greater than that on the first arm 136 . , mainly via the second arm 137, the second cam member 135 rotates counterclockwise. Then, the key inserted into the keyhole 132 can be rotated counterclockwise by 90 degrees from the normal state (see FIG. 36(b)).

[0141] In addition, when the key is rotated 90 degrees counterclockwise from the normal state, and then rotated 90 degrees clockwise to return to the normal state, the above action is reversed. It will work.

[0142] On the other hand, when the key inserted into the keyhole 132 is used to rotate the first cam member 134 clockwise through the cylinder of the cylinder body 131 from the normal state, the upper end side of the first cam member 134 rotates to the right of the center of rotation. As the first arm 136 attached to the side moves downward, the second arm 137 attached to the lower end of the rotation center of the first cam member 134 moves upward. At this time, since the upper end side of the first arm 136 is attached to the right of the rotation center of the first cam member 134, the second cam member 135 is rotated clockwise by the first arm 136. On the other hand, the second arm 137 has its upper end attached below the rotation center of the first cam member 134, so that the second arm 137 rotates the second cam member 135 clockwise. Almost no force acts to rotate in the direction of .

[0143] Thus, when the first cam member 134 rotates clockwise from the normal state, force is transmitted mainly through the first arm 136, causing the second cam member 135 to rotate clockwise. It rotates, and the rotation transmission member 133 rotates together with the second cam member 135 . The force that transmits the rotation of the first cam member 134 by the first arm 136 and the second arm 137 to the second cam member 135 is the portion where the first arm 136 and the second arm 137 are attached to the first cam member 134. , and the center of rotation of the first cam member 134 in the horizontal direction. Therefore, as the first cam member 134 rotates in the clockwise direction from the normal state, the force for rotating the second cam member 135 in the first arm 136 decreases. At the arm 137, the force to rotate the second cam member 135 increases.

[0144] Therefore, when the rotation angle of the first cam member 134 in the clockwise direction exceeds 45 degrees from the normal state, the second arm 137 will rotate the second cam member 135 more than the first arm 136. This force increases, and the second cam member 135 rotates clockwise mainly via the second arm 137 . Then, the key inserted into the keyhole 132 can be rotated clockwise by 90 degrees from the normal state (see FIG. 36(c)).

[0145] In addition, when the key is rotated 90 degrees clockwise from the normal state, when it is rotated 90 degrees clockwise to return to the normal state, the operation is reversed to the above. It will be done.

[0146] As described above, according to the cylinder lock 130 of the present embodiment, the first arm 136 and the second arm 137 in which the first cam member 134 and the second cam member 135 are phased at an angle of 90 degrees to each other. At least one of the first arm 136 and the second arm 137 is connected at any rotational position of the first cam member 134 (the key inserted into the keyhole 132). By transmitting the rotation, the second cam member 135 (rotation transmission member 133) can be rotated, and the locking and unlocking of the door frame 3 and the body frame 4 can be improved.

[0147] Further, according to the cylinder lock 130 of the present embodiment, the rotation is transmitted by the first arm 136 and the second arm 137 as the rotation transmission mechanism, so that the rotation transmission member 133 ( Since the transmission cylinder 654) of the locking unit 650 in the body frame 4 can be provided at a different position, the position of the cylinder body 131 in the door frame 3 can be changed to any position without changing the locking unit 650. The cylinder body 131 (keyhole 132) can be provided in a part that does not interfere with the decoration of the door frame 3, and the pachinko machine 1 with high decorativeness of the door frame 3 can be provided.

[0148] Further, as described above, even if the position of the cylinder body 131 is changed in the door frame 3, there is no need to change the locking unit 650 in the body frame 4. cost increase can be suppressed.

[0149] By the way, in the conventional cylinder lock 130A, since the rotation transmission member 133 is provided behind the cylinder body 131, a fraudulent person who has knowledge of the structure may insert a tool behind the cylinder body 131 from the front. By illegally rotating the rotation transmission member 133 with the tool, the door frame 3 may be opened to commit a fraudulent act. On the other hand, in the cylinder lock 130 of the present embodiment, since the rotation transmission member 133 is provided at a position away from the axis (rear) of the cylinder body 131, the tool can be inserted behind the cylinder body 131. Even if you try to rotate the rotation transmission member 133, since the rotation transmission member 133 does not exist at the relevant part, the rotation transmission member 133 cannot be rotated, and the door frame 3, the main body frame 4, etc. are opened. can be prevented from occurring.

[0150] Furthermore, in the cylinder lock 130, the second arm 137 connects the first arm 136 and the second arm 137 to the first cam member 134 and the second cam member 135, which are separated by a rotation angle of 90 degrees. A straight line connecting the center of the first cam member 134 and the center of the second cam member 135 at the part attached to the first cam member 134 and the second cam member 135 on one side of the first arm 136 or the second arm 137 Even when positioned above, the other of the first arm 136 or the second arm 137 connects the parts farthest from the straight line connecting the center of the first cam member 134 and the center of the second cam member 135. be in a state where Therefore, by positioning one of the first arm 136 and the second arm 137 at the dead center of the first cam member 134 and the second cam member 135, the rotation from the first cam member 134 is transferred to the second cam member 135. Even if it cannot be transmitted, the other of the first arm 136 or the second arm 137 can transmit the rotation from the first cam member 134 to the second cam member 135, so the rotation of the first cam member 134 The key inserted in the keyhole 132 can be rotated smoothly without a large resistance to rotation, and unlocking and locking can be easily performed. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the key from being damaged.

[0151] In addition, since the two arms of the first arm 136 and the second arm 137 transmit the rotation of the key inserted into the keyhole 132 to the rotation transmission member 133 provided at an eccentric position, for some reason Even if one of the arms is damaged, the rotation can be transmitted by the remaining arm, and the pachinko machine 1 having the highly reliable cylinder lock 130 can be provided.

[0152] In addition, the rotation of the key inserted into the keyhole 132 is transmitted to the rotation transmission member 133 provided at an eccentric position by the smooth rod-shaped (strip-shaped) first arm 136 and second arm 137. Therefore, if the rotation is transmitted by a gear, there is a risk that the tip of the tool may be caught on the teeth of the gear, causing the gear to rotate and the rotation transmission member 133 to rotate. Since the arm 136 and the second arm 137 are bar-shaped with smooth surfaces, the tip of the tool is less likely to get caught on the first arm 136 and the second arm 137, and the first arm 136 and the second arm 137 are not moved. It is possible to prevent the rotation transmission member 133 from being rotated, and to reliably prevent the door frame 3 and the body frame 4 from being unlocked due to illegal operation of the locking unit 650. be able to.

[0153] In the cylinder lock 130 of this embodiment, the first arm 136 and the second arm 137 are used as the rotation transmission mechanism for transmitting the rotation of the first cam member 134 to the second cam member 135. , but not limited to, for example, a rotation transmission mechanism using a plurality of gears, a rotation transmission mechanism using a gear and a rack gear, a rotation transmission mechanism using a sprocket and a chain, a rotation transmission mechanism using a pulley and a belt , and so on.

[0154] [3-1i. Ball feeding unit] The ball feeding unit 140 of the door frame base unit 100 will be described in detail mainly with reference to FIGS. 37 and 38. FIG. FIG. 37(a) is a front perspective view of the ball feeding unit of the door frame base unit, and (b) is a rear perspective view of the ball feeding unit. Figure 38(a) is an exploded perspective view of the ball feeding unit disassembled and viewed from the front, and (b) is an exploded perspective view of the ball feeding unit viewed from the rear after removing the rear case and the tampering prevention member. be. The ball feeding unit 140 can supply the game balls B supplied from the upper plate 201 of the plate unit 200 one by one to the ball launching device 540 of the main body frame 4, and the game balls stored in the upper plate 201 The ball B can be pulled out to the lower tray 202 by operating the upper tray ball ejection button 222.

[0155] The ball feeding unit 140 has an inlet 141a through which the game balls B are supplied from the upper plate 201 of the plate unit 200 and penetrates in the front-rear direction, and a ball outlet 141b that opens below the inlet 141a. A box-shaped front cover 141 with an open front cover 141, and a box-shaped front cover 141 that closes the rear end of the front cover 141 and has an open front, and penetrates in the front-rear direction. A rear cover 142 having a batted ball supply port 142a for supplying ball B to the ball launching device 540, and a front cover rotatably supported between the rear cover 142 and the front cover 141 around an axis extending in the front-rear direction. A ball extraction member 143 having a partition part 143a that partitions between the entrance port 141a and the ball extraction port 141b on the rear side of 141, and a game ball B on the partition part 143a of the ball extraction member 143 One rear cover 142 The ball feeding member 144 is rotatably supported around an axis extending in the vertical direction between the front cover 141 and the rear cover 142, and the ball feeding member 144 is rotated. a ball feed solenoid 145;

[0156] As shown in the figure, the ball feeding unit 140 has a ball feeding member 144 arranged on the right side of the entry port 141a in a front view, and a ball extracting member 143 on the left side of the ball feeding member 144. A ball feeding solenoid 145 is arranged on the right side of the feeding member 144, respectively.

[0157] The front cover 141 of the ball feeding unit 140 has an arcuate slit 141c formed concentrically with respect to the center of rotation of the ball extraction member 143 on the left side of the ball extraction port 141b in front view. An operating rod 143c of a ball extraction member 143, which will be described later, extends forward from 141c. Further, the front cover 141 has its upper side extending upward from the upper edge of the entry port 141a. And it is formed so as to close from the rear side the portion that is open rearward on the upstream end side of the ball removal guideway 241c.

[0158] The ball extraction member 143 has a partition portion 143a whose upper surface becomes lower toward the direction of the ball feeding member 144 and a partition portion 143a that partitions between the entrance port 141a and the ball extraction port 141b below the entrance port 141a. Extends downward from the end on the opposite side of the ball feeding member 144, bends from near the middle in the vertical direction toward the center of the lower side of the ball outlet 141b, and extends around the axis with the lower end extending in the front-rear direction. a rod-shaped operating rod 143c protruding forward from the upper end of the rotating rod 143b; and the rotating rod 143b below the operating rod 143c. and a weight portion 143d projecting from the side surface to the side opposite to the partition portion 143a. An operating rod 143c of the ball extracting member 143 is formed to protrude forward through an arcuate slit 141c formed in the front cover 141 (see FIG. 37(a)). The operating rod 143c is the upper end of the operation transmitting portion 242b ( upper surface).

[0159] The ball feeding member 144 has a fan-shaped cut-off portion 144a centered on a rotational axis extending in the vertical direction toward the entry port 141a and the partition portion 143a of the ball extraction member 143, and a cut-off portion 144a behind the cut-off portion 144a. It has a ball holding portion 144b recessed in an arc shape from the end toward the center of the rotation axis, and a rod-shaped rod portion 144c extending downward from the rear end of the ball holding portion 144b. The blocking portion 144a and the ball holding portion 144b of the ball feeding member 144 are formed adjacent to each other within an angular range of about 180° around the rotation axis. Also, the ball holding portion 144b of the ball feeding member 144 is sized so that one game ball B can be held. The ball feeding member 144 rotates about the rotational axis by driving the ball feeding solenoid 145 to move the rod portion 144c arranged at a position eccentric to the rotational axis in the left-right direction.

[0160] The ball feeding member 144 has a supply position in which the blocking portion 144a faces the partition portion 143a and the ball holding portion 144b faces the direction in which the ball holding portion 144b communicates with the batted ball supply port 142a. It is adapted to rotate between a holding position facing the direction. When the ball feeding member 144 is at the supply position, the game ball B held in the ball holding portion 144b is supplied from the batted ball supply port 142a to the ball launching device 540 and enters the partition portion 143a from the entry port 141a. The game ball B is blocked from moving toward the ball holding portion 144b (hit ball supply port 142a) by the blocking portion 144a, and stays on the partition portion 143a. On the other hand, when the ball feeding member 144 rotates to the holding position, the ball holding portion 144b faces the partition portion 143a, and the end of the ball holding portion 144b on the rod portion 144c side closes the hit ball supply port 142a. As a result, only one game ball B on the partition portion 143a is held in the ball holding portion 144b.

[0161] In addition, the ball feeding unit 140 includes a ball feeding operating rod 146 whose tip swings vertically by driving (energization) of a ball feeding solenoid 145, and a tip of the ball feeding working rod 146 which swings vertically. and a ball feeding crank 147 which rotates around an axis extending in the front-rear direction by the movement of the ball feeding member 144 and rotates the ball feeding member 144 around an axis extending in the vertical direction.

[0162] The ball feeding actuation rod 146 has an iron plate 146a below the ball feeding solenoid 145. As shown in FIG. The ball feeding operating rod 146 extends left and right, and the end (right end) opposite to the ball feeding crank 147 is attached to the front cover 141 and the rear cover 142 so as to be rotatable around the longitudinally extending axis. It is When the ball-feeding solenoid 145 is driven, the ball-feeding operating rod 146 draws the iron plate 146a toward (upward) the ball-feeding solenoid 145 by the generated magnetic force, and feeds the ball centering on the right end. The left end near the crank 147 rotates so as to move upward. After that, when the driving of the ball feed solenoid 145 is released, the weight of the iron plate 146a acts due to the disappearance of the magnetic force, and the left end near the ball feed crank 147 moves downward with the right end as the center. and return to the initial state. As a result, the left end (tip) of the ball feeding operating rod 146 near the ball feeding crank 147 is vertically swung by the ball feeding solenoid 145 .

[0163] The ball feeding crank 147 engages with an engaging portion 147a extending in the left-right direction that can be engaged with the tip of the ball feeding operating rod 146 that moves up and down, and the ball feeding operating rod 146 of the engaging portion 147a. A shaft portion 147b arranged on the opposite side to the front cover 141 and the rear cover 142 and supported so as to be rotatable about an axis extending in the front-rear direction between the front cover 141 and the rear cover 142, and extending upward from the shaft portion 147b. , and a transmission portion 147c that engages with a rod-shaped rod portion 144c (see FIG. 38(b)) projecting downward from a position eccentric to the rotation center of the ball feeding member 144. As shown in FIG.

[0164] This ball feeding unit 140 drives a ball feeding solenoid 145 to move the tip (left end) of a ball feeding operating rod 146 upward, thereby driving a ball feeding crank 147 via the ball feeding working rod 146. It can be rotated around an axis extending back and forth.

[0165] In the ball feeding unit 140, when the ball feeding solenoid 145 is not driven (normal time), the ball feeding operating rod 146 is separated from the lower end of the ball feeding solenoid 145 and the tip is positioned downward. Then, the ball feeding member 144 is positioned at the feeding position. Also, when the ball feeding solenoid 145 is driven, the ball feeding operating rod 146 is attracted to the lower end of the ball feeding solenoid 145, the tip (left end) is positioned upward, and the ball feeding member 144 is in the holding position. rotate to. That is, when the ball feeding solenoid 145 is driven (ON state), the ball feeding member 144 receives one game ball B, and when the driving of the ball feeding solenoid 145 is canceled (OFF state), The game ball B received by the ball feeding member 144 can be sent (supplied) to the ball launching device 540 side. The driving of the ball feeding solenoid 145 in the ball feeding unit 140 is controlled in synchronization with the driving control of the firing solenoid 542 by the firing control section 633b (see FIG. 169) of the payout control board 633.

[0166] Further, the ball feeding unit 140 is applied with a moment to rotate counterclockwise in a front view by the ball extracting member 143 rotatably supported by a shaft or by the weight portion 143d. However, the actuating rod 143c protruding forward of the ball extracting member 143 may contact the upper end of the operation transmission portion 242b of the upper dish ball extracting slider 242 that is operated by pressing the upper dish ball extracting button 222 of the dish unit 200. Since its rotation is restricted, in a normal state, the partition portion 143a of the ball extraction member 143 is positioned between the entrance port 141a and the ball extraction port 141b to partition the ball extraction port 141b side. Game ball B does not enter into.

[0167] Then, when the player presses downward the upper tray ball ejection button 222 of the tray unit 200, the upper tray ball ejection slider 242 slides downward together with the operation transmission portion 242b, and the operation transmission portion 242b moves downward. Accordingly, the operating rod 143c also moves relatively downward. When the operation rod 143c moves downward together with the operation transmitting portion 242b, the ball removal member 143 rotates counterclockwise in front view, and the partition portion 143a moves from between the inlet 141a and the ball removal port 141b. partition is removed. As a result, the game ball B entering from the inlet 141a falls to the ball outlet 141b side, and is discharged from the ball outlet 141b to the ball removal guideway 241c of the upper tray post-ball removal unit 240 in the plate unit 200, It can be discharged (supplied) to the lower tray 202 through the lower tray ball supply port 211c.

[0168] In addition, since the upper bowl ball extraction slider 242 formed with the operation transmission part 242b with which the operation rod 143c of the ball extraction member 143 abuts is biased upward by the spring, the game ball B is placed on the partition part 143a. Even if it is supplied vigorously, the impact can be absorbed by the spring via the operating rod 143c, preventing the ball extraction member 143 and the like from being damaged, and the game ball B being pushed by the partition part 143a. You can prevent bouncing.

[0169] In addition, the ball feeding unit 140 is formed with a rectangular attachment recess 142b (see FIG. 38(b), etc.) recessed forward and to the upper right when viewed from the back of the batted ball feed port 142a in the rear cover 142. An anti-tampering member 148 is mounted in the mounting recess 142b. The tamper-proof member 148 of the ball feeding unit 140 is made of a hard metal plate such as tool steel or stainless steel, and is detachably attached to the mounting recess 142b of the rear cover 142 from the rear side.

[0170] The tamper-proof member 148 has a rectangular shape extending left and right when viewed from the front. A lower piece portion 148b and an inclined portion 148c formed in a C-chamfered shape on the tip side (right end side in front view) of the sides of the upper piece portion 148a and the lower piece portion 148b facing each other are provided. . The upper piece 148a of the anti-tamper member 148 is bent with respect to the general surface of the anti-tamper member 148 so that the right end in a front view protrudes rearward. The lower piece 148b extends flush with the general surface of the anti-tamper member 148. As shown in FIG. As a result, in plan view, the upper piece 148a and the lower piece 148b form a V-shaped groove that widens toward the right.

[0171] The tamper-proof member 148 is attached to the mounting recess 142b of the rear cover 142, so that the V-shaped groove formed by the upper piece 148a and the lower piece 148b communicates with the ball supply port 142a. Become.

[0172] According to this fraud prevention member 148, the illegal game ball B attached with the string is hit into the game area 5a by the ball launching device 540 through the ball feeding unit 140 from the upper tray, and attached to the illegal game ball B. When a fraudulent act is performed such as operating the string that has been set to let the illegal game ball B enter and exit the first starting port 2002, etc., the illegal game ball B launched (hit ball) by the ball launching device 540 is released. By force, the string attached to the illegal game ball B is inserted between the upper piece portion 148a and the lower piece portion 148b, and then the V shape formed by the upper piece portion 148a and the lower piece portion 148b. It can be cut by the narrowed part of the shape, and it is possible to prevent fraudulent acts using an illegal game ball B to which a string is attached.

[0173] [3-1j. Foul cover unit] The foul cover unit 150 of the door frame base unit 100 will be described in detail mainly with reference to FIGS. 39 and 40. FIG. FIG. 39(a) is a front perspective view of the foul cover unit of the door frame base unit, and FIG. 39(b) is a rear perspective view of the foul cover unit. FIG. 40 is a front view of the foul cover unit with the cover member removed. The foul cover unit 150 is attached to the lower rear side of the door frame base 101 on the right side in rear view. The foul cover unit 150 guides the game ball B (foul ball), which is shot by the ball launcher 540 and has not reached the game area 5a of the game board 5, to the lower tray 202 and is paid out from the payout device 580. The game ball B is guided to the upper tray 201 or the lower tray 202.例文帳に追加 As illustrated, the foul cover unit 150 includes a shallow box-shaped unit body 151 attached to the rear side of the door frame base 101 and having an open front side, and a flat lid member attached to the front side of the unit body 151. 152 and .

[0174] The foul cover unit 150 penetrates back and forth at the upper left corner when viewed from the front, through which the lower normal dispensing passage 610a of the lower full ball path unit 610 of the main body frame 4 and the upper tray ball supply port 211a of the tray unit 200 are communicated. A ball passage 150a and a full ball receiver that opens rearward on the lower right side of the through ball passage 150a in front view and can communicate with the lower full ball delivery passage 610b of the lower full ball path unit 610 of the main body frame 4. and a mouth 150b.

[0175] In addition, the foul cover unit 150 is open upward on the right side of the full ball socket 150b in front view, and does not reach the game area 5a even though it is fired by the ball launcher 540 of the main body frame 4. A foul ball receiving port 150c that receives a game ball B (foul ball), and a game ball B that is received in a full ball receiving port 150b and a foul ball receiving port 150c that opens forward near the lower right corner in front view. and a ball discharge port 150d that discharges the balls forward and communicates with the lower plate ball supply port 211c of the plate unit 200.

[0176] Further, the foul cover unit 150 is formed by the unit main body 151 and the lid member 152 between the full tank ball receiving port 150b and the foul ball receiving port 150c and the ball discharge port 150d, and stores a predetermined amount of game balls B. A storage passageway 150e having a possible width is provided.

[0177] The ball-through passage 150a is formed across both the unit main body 151 and the lid member 152. As shown in FIG. The full ball socket 150b and the foul ball socket 150c are formed in the unit body 151. As shown in FIG. The ball outlet 150d is formed in the lid member 152. As shown in FIG. The storage passage 150e is formed by a unit main body 151 and a lid member 152. As shown in FIG.

[0178] Further, the foul cover unit 150 constitutes a part of the inner wall of the storage passage 150e, and the lower end thereof is rotatably attached to the unit main body 151 and the cover member 152. A full-tank detection sensor 154 that detects the rotation in the direction away from the storage passage 150e, and a spring 155 that biases the movable piece 153 toward the storage passage 150e.

[0179] This foul cover unit 150, when the inside of the lower plate 202 of the plate unit 200 is filled with game balls B and the game balls B are no longer discharged from the ball discharge port 150d to the lower plate 202 side, the inside of the storage passage 150e to some extent The number of game balls B can be stored. Then, when a certain number of game balls B are stored in the storage passage 150e, the upper end of the movable piece 153 moves away from the storage passage 150e against the biasing force of the spring 155 due to the weight of the game ball B. The movable piece 153 rotates as if to do so, and the rotation is detected by the full tank detection sensor 154 . As a result, since it can be determined that the lower plate 202 is full of game balls B, when the full tank detection sensor 154 detects the full tank, further payout of the game balls B is stopped. At the same time, it is possible to inform the player, the staff of the game hall, etc. to that effect and urge them to eliminate the full tank of the lower tray 202.例文帳に追加

[0180] In addition, the foul cover unit 150 is attached to the rear side of the unit main body 151 and the lower side of the penetrating ball passage 150a, and the payout passage opening / closing door of the lower full ball passage unit 610 in the payout unit 560 described later of the main body frame 4. A door opening / closing abutting portion 150f is provided with which the operating protrusion 613a of the 613 can abut (see FIG. 90). The door opening / closing contact portion 150f is inclined so that the rear surface moves forward as it goes downward. When the operating protrusion 613a of the payout passage opening / closing door 613 abuts against the door opening / closing abutment portion 150f, the payout passage opening / closing door 613 is rotated, and the downstream ends ( front side opening) can be opened.

[0181] [3-2. Glass unit] The glass unit 160 in the door frame 3 will be described in detail mainly with reference to FIGS. 29 and 30 and the like. The glass unit 160 is detachably attached by being inserted into the glass unit attachment portion 101h from the rear so as to close the door window 101a of the door frame base 101 in the door frame base unit 100. As shown in FIG. When the door frame 3 is closed with respect to the main body frame 4, the glass unit 160 makes the game area 5a of the game board 5 attached to the main body frame 4 visible from the player side (front). It closes the front of the area 5a.

[0182] The glass unit 160 includes a frame-shaped glass frame 161 that is larger than the inner peripheral shape of the door window 101a of the door frame base 101 and can be attached to the glass unit mounting portion 101h, and the glass frame 161 that closes the frame and has a glass frame on the outer periphery. Two transparent glass plates 162 attached to 161 and a pair of glass units rotatably attached to the rear side of the door frame base 101 in the door frame base unit 100 for attaching the glass frame 161 to the door frame base 101. A mounting member 163 is provided.

[0183] The glass frame 161 includes a pair of flat mounting pieces 161a extending outward from positions below the left and right upper corners in a front view, and a band projecting downward from the lower end and extending along the lower side. It has a plate-like locking piece 161b. A mounting piece 161a of the glass frame 161 is capable of coming into contact with a projecting portion 163b of a glass unit mounting member 163. As shown in FIG. The locking piece 161b can be inserted into the space between the door frame base 101 and the intermediate reinforcing frame 114 of the door frame reinforcing unit 110 (see FIG. 96). The two glass plates 162 are attached to the front end side and the rear end side of the glass frame 161, respectively, and are spaced apart in the front-rear direction so as to form a space between them (see FIG. 96).

[0184] The glass unit mounting member 163 has a disk-shaped base portion 163a mounted rotatably about an axis extending back and forth on the rear side of the door frame base 101, and a rod-like protrusion protruding from the base portion 163a in a direction perpendicular to the rotation axis. and a projecting portion 163b. The glass unit mounting members 163 are rotatably mounted outside the two upper corners of the four corners of the door window 101a on the rear surface of the door frame base 101, respectively.

[0185] To attach the glass unit 160 to the door frame base 101, first, the glass unit attachment member 163 attached to the door frame base 101 is rotated so that the projecting portion 163b is positioned above the base portion 163a. do. Then, from the rear side of the door frame base 101, the locking piece 161b of the glass frame 161 of the glass unit 160 is inserted from above into the gap between the door frame base 101 and the intermediate reinforcing frame 114 of the door frame reinforcing unit 110. Then, the front end of the glass frame 161 is brought into contact with the rear surface of the glass unit mounting portion 101h of the door frame base 101. As shown in FIG. After that, the glass unit mounting member 163 is rotated so that the projecting portion 163b is positioned below the base portion 163a, and the projecting portion 163b is brought into contact with the rear surface of the mounting piece 161a of the glass frame 161. Thereby, the glass unit 160 is attached to the door frame base 101 .

[0186] When removing the glass unit 160 from the door frame base 101, the above procedure can be reversed. Thereby, the glass unit 160 is detachable with respect to the door frame base 101 (door frame base unit 100).

[0187] In addition, in the glass unit 160, when the projecting portion 163b of the glass unit mounting member 163 is in the rotational position below the base portion 163a, the projecting portion 163b restricts the rearward movement of the glass frame 161. Therefore, even if vibration or the like acts on the glass unit mounting member 163, the projecting portion 163b will not rotate to a position above the base portion 163a. Therefore, the restriction on the rearward movement of the glass frame 161 is not naturally released, and the glass unit 160 is not naturally removed from the door frame base 101 .

[0188] [3-3. Security cover] The security cover 170 on the door frame 3 will be described in detail mainly with reference to FIGS. 29 and 30 and the like. The security cover 170 is attached to the rear side of the door frame base unit 100 so as to cover the lower rear surface of the glass unit 160, and is made of transparent synthetic resin. The crime prevention cover 170 has a flat plate-like body portion 171 whose outer periphery is formed in a predetermined shape, and a flat plate-like rear projecting piece 172 that protrudes short rearward along the outer peripheral edge of the body portion 171, and is spaced apart from the left and right. and a pair of locking pieces 173 that protrude forward from the main body portion 171 and can be locked to the rear side of the door frame base 101 .

[0189] A main body portion 171 of the crime prevention cover 170 is formed such that a lower end protrudes downward beyond a lower end of the glass unit 160 when attached to the door frame base unit 100 . Further, the upper end of the main body portion 171 is formed in a shape along the lower end of the game area 5a on the game board 5 when assembled to the pachinko machine 1. As shown in FIG. More specifically, the upper end of the body portion 171 is shaped along a portion of an inner rail 1002, an out guide portion 1003, a portion of a lower right rail 1004, and a right rail 1005 of a front component 1000, which will be described later. It is formed so as not to protrude into the game area 5a when assembled to the pachinko machine 1.

[0190] The rear projecting piece 172 is formed along substantially the entire circumference of the outer peripheral edge of the main body portion 171 . Therefore, the security cover 170 is formed into a shallow box-like shape that is opened rearward by the body portion 171 and the rear projecting piece 172, and has high strength and rigidity. The rear projecting piece 172 also protrudes rearward from a portion of the rear surface of the main body portion 171 that is different from the outer peripheral edge of the main body portion 171 . A rear projecting piece 172 protruding rearward from a part of the rear surface of the main body part 171 is formed along a part of the outer rail 1001 in the front component member 1000 of the game board 5 in the assembled state of the pachinko machine 1. ing.

[0191] In addition, the rear projecting piece 172 is not formed at a portion positioned between the outer rail 1001 and the inner rail 1002 on the game board 5 in the state that the pachinko machine 1 is assembled. As a result, the game ball B passing between the outer rail 1001 and the inner rail 1002 (the game ball B fired by the ball launcher 540) does not come into contact with the rear projecting piece 172 of the security cover 170, and the game area It does not hinder the hitting of the game ball B into 5a.

[0192] A pair of locking pieces 173 are elastically locked to the rear side of the door frame base unit 100 (speaker duct 103 and cable cover 109). Thereby, the security cover 170 can be easily attached to and detached from the door frame base unit 100 .

[0193] When the security cover 170 is assembled to the pachinko machine 1, the front surface of the main body 171 abuts the rear surface of the glass unit 160 (the rear end of the glass frame 161), and the part protruding rearward from the lower side of the main body 171 is The removed rear projecting piece 172 is inserted into the security recess 1009 of the front component 1000 . In addition, the security cover 170 is in a state in which the rear protrusion 172 protruding rearward from the lower side of the main body portion 171 protrudes rearward from the front surface of the front structural member 1000 so as to be in contact with the lower surface of the front structural member 1000. . As a result, the space between the crime prevention cover 170 and the game board 5 (the front component 1000) is in a state of being intricately bent by the rear projecting piece 172 of the security cover 170 and the crime prevention concave portion 1009 of the front component 1000. Even if an unauthorized tool such as a piano wire attempts to enter the game area 5a through the space between the security cover 170 and the front component 1000 from the lower front of the board 5, it will be blocked by the rear projecting piece 172 and the security recess 1009. , It is possible to prevent unauthorized tools from entering the game area 5a.

[0194] [3-4.Handle unit and handle cover unit] The handle unit 180 and the handle cover unit 290 in the door frame 3 will be described in detail mainly with reference to FIGS. 41 to 47 and the like. FIG. 41(a) is an enlarged front view showing the parts of the handle unit and the handle cover unit in the door frame, and (b) is an enlarged perspective view showing the parts of the handle unit and the handle cover unit in the door frame. 42 is an exploded perspective view of the handle cover unit viewed from the front, and FIG. 43 is an exploded perspective view of the handle cover unit viewed from the rear. 44 is an exploded perspective view of the handle unit viewed from the front, and FIG. 45 is an exploded perspective view of the handle unit viewed from the rear. FIG. 46 is a cross-sectional view taken along line E--I in FIG. 41(a). 47 is a cross-sectional view taken along line A--A in FIG. 1. FIG. Note that FIG. 46 shows a cross-sectional view of only the door frame 3 with the outer frame 2 and the body frame 4 omitted.

[0195] The handle unit 180 of this embodiment is attached to the door frame base unit 100 and the tray unit 200 together with the handle cover unit 290 that covers the outer periphery, and the game ball B in the upper tray 201 is moved by the player's operation. It can be driven into the game area 5a of the game board 5.

[0196] First, the handle unit 180 will be explained. The handle unit 180 is rotatably attached to the front end of the handle base 181 whose rear end is attached to the handle mounting seat surface 101b of the door frame base 101 via the handle cover base 291 of the handle cover unit 290 described later. a plurality of handle guides 196 attached to the rear side of the handle 195 and guided by a handle cover base 291 to be described later; A cover pedestal 183, a handle decoration substrate 184 attached to the front side of the cover pedestal 183 and having a plurality of LEDs 184a mounted on the front surface, and a handle attached to the cover pedestal 183 so as to cover the front side of the handle decoration substrate 184. The front lens 185 and .

[0197] The handle unit 180 has an inner base 186 attached to the front of the handle base 181 on the rear side of the handle 195, and the handle 195 is attached to the front end. A shaft member 187 having a drive gear portion 187a, a transmission gear 188 meshing with the drive gear portion 187a of the shaft member 187, and a detection shaft 189a that rotates integrally with the transmission gear 188. and a handle rotation detection sensor 189 sandwiched between the base 186 and the base 186 .

[0198] One end of the handle unit 180 is attached to the handle base 181 and the other end of the handle unit 180 is attached to the handle 195 so that the handle 195 can be returned to the initial rotation position (the rotation end in the counterclockwise direction when viewed from the front). A biasing handle return spring 190, one end of which is attached to the inner base 186 and the other end of which is attached to the transmission gear 188, rotates the detection shaft 189a of the handle rotation detection sensor 189 clockwise when viewed from the front. and an auxiliary spring 191 biasing in the direction.

[0199] In addition, the handle unit 180 includes a handle touch sensor 192 attached to the handle base 181 behind the inner base 186, and a front end protruding outward from the left side of the outer peripheral surface of the front end of the handle base 181 as viewed from the front. A single-shot button 193 whose end side is attached to the handle base 181 behind the inner base 186 so as to be rotatable around an axis extending back and forth, and a single-shot button attached to the handle base 181 by detecting the pressing operation of the single-shot button 193. and an operation sensor 194 .

[0200] A handle base 181 of the handle unit 180 includes a cylindrical base portion 181a extending back and forth, a disk-shaped front end portion 181b projecting radially from the front end of the base portion 181a, and a recessed portion from the outer peripheral surface of the cylindrical base portion 181a. and three grooves 181c extending in the axial direction and formed at unequal intervals in the circumferential direction. The base portion 181a of the handle base 181 has an outer diameter slightly smaller than the inner diameter of the rear cylindrical portion 291c of the handle cover base 291 in the handle cover unit 290. As shown in FIG. Also, the three grooves 181c are formed at positions corresponding to three protrusions 291d of the handle cover base 291, which will be described later. Therefore, the base portion 181a can be inserted into the rear cylindrical portion 291c of the handle cover base 291 with the three grooves 181c aligned with the three protrusions 291d, and the protrusions 291d can be inserted into the three grooves 181c. is inserted, the handle base 181 is brought into a state in which it cannot rotate relative to the handle cover base 291. As shown in FIG.

[0201] The handle 195 includes a disc-shaped central hub portion 195a, a plurality of (here, three) spoke portions 195b extending radially outward from the central hub portion 195a at intervals in the circumferential direction, and a plurality of spoke portions 195b. An annular outer ring portion 195c connecting the tips of the portions 195b, and two ring portions extending in an arc around the rotating shaft (shaft member 187) and penetrating the central hub portion 195a in the front-rear direction. A slit 195d and a locking projection 195e projecting rearward from a position inside the rotation center relative to the slit 195d and locking the other end side of the handle return spring 190 are provided. The outer diameter of the central hub portion 195a is substantially the same as the outer diameter of the general outer peripheral surface of the handle of a conventional pachinko machine.

[0202] The three spoke portions 195b of the handle 195 rotate clockwise and clockwise around one spoke portion 195b horizontally extending leftward from the central hub portion 195a when the handle 195 is in a free state (not rotated). Two spokes 195b extend counterclockwise from each 120 degree angle. The three spoke portions 195b extend to such a length that a gap is formed between the central hub portion 195a and the outer peripheral ring portion 195c so that a player's finger can be inserted therein.

[0203] An outer ring portion 195c of the handle 195 is provided coaxially with the center of the central hub portion 195a. The outer peripheral ring portion 195c is formed in an annular shape with a constant cross-sectional shape in which the rounded side of the U shape faces forward.

[0204] The handle 195 is formed so as to have translucency as a whole, and is partially provided with an electrically continuous plating portion from the central hub portion 195a to the outer peripheral ring portion 195c. As a result, the touch of the handle 195 is detected by the handle touch sensor 192 even when only the outer ring portion 195c is touched. Therefore, the game ball B can be hit by rotating the outer ring portion 195c.

[0205] The handle guide 196 has a U-shaped guide portion 196a that opens toward the center of the handle 195, and a flat mounting stay 196b that extends from the front end of the guide portion 196a toward the center. there is The mounting stays 196b of the three handle guides 196 are attached to the rear side of the spokes 195b of the handle 195 so that the guide portions 196a are positioned behind the outer ring portion 195c of the handle 195. FIG. A guide piece 291g of a handle cover base 291, which will be described later, is inserted into the guide portion 196a of the handle guide 196, thereby restricting movement in the front-rear direction.

[0206] The cover pedestal 183 is formed in a disc shape with a diameter smaller than the outer diameter of the central hub portion 195a of the handle 195, and has three mounting bosses 183a projecting rearward from the rear surface. The three mounting bosses 183a are attached to the front surface of the handle base 181 through slits 195d of the handle 195 from the front. Since the mounting boss 183a of the cover pedestal 183 passes through the slit 195d of the handle 195, the mounting boss 183a comes into contact with the circumferential end of the slit 195d, thereby restricting the rotation angle of the handle 195. In this example, the handle 195 can be rotated within an angle of rotation of approximately 120 degrees.

[0207] The number of handle decoration substrates 184 is 1 in the center, 3 in the middle circumference at regular intervals in the circumferential direction, and 6 at regular intervals in the circumferential direction along the outer circumference, for a total of 10. LEDs 184a (full-color LEDs) are mounted in triple concentric circles. These LEDs 184a are divided into 5 groups, 1 in the center, 3 in the middle, 2 in the upper left corner of the periphery, 2 in the upper right corner of the periphery, and 2 in the lower side of the periphery. (see Figure 72). This handle decoration board 184 is mounted with a 24-bit LED driver 184b having a unique address for causing each LED 184a to emit light. This LED driver 184b can control up to 24 systems, and controls a total of 15 systems, 3 systems for each group, so that 10 LEDs 184a divided into 5 groups can emit light in full color. I'm trying

[0208] Although not shown, the handle decoration board 184 has two power lines (one is a ground line) for supplying power to drive the LED 184a and the LED driver 184b, and commands and addresses from the peripheral control board 1510. 1 control signal line for receiving signals such as , and 1 clock line for synchronizing the LED driver 184b with the peripheral control board 1510. A wiring cable made up of four electric wires is connected. . Then, in the LED driver 184b of this handle decoration board 184, when receiving a command addressed to the address through the control signal line from the peripheral control board 1510 (production control board), according to the command, divided into five sets Each set of ten LEDs 184a can be illuminated with appropriate color and intensity.

[0209] In this way, since the handle decoration board 184 has the LED driver 184b, the light emission of the LEDs 184a, which is larger in number than the electric wires constituting the wiring cable to be connected, can be individually (in this case, assembled). Since it is possible to control each unit, the number of electric wires can be reduced, and the configuration of electric wiring can be simplified.

[0210] The handle front lens 185 has a front surface that bulges forward and has translucency. The handle front lens 185 has a lens member inside which is three-dimensionally formed of a transparent member. The steering wheel front lens 185 is decorated with light emission by appropriately lighting the LED on the front surface of the steering wheel decoration substrate 184 .

[0211] The handle rotation detection sensor 189 is a variable resistor, and when the handle 195 is rotated, the detection shaft 189a of the handle rotation detection sensor 189 rotates via the shaft member 187 and transmission gear 188. FIG. The internal resistance of the steering wheel rotation detection sensor 189 changes according to the rotation angle of the detection shaft 189a. Therefore, when the handle 195 is rotated to change the internal resistance of the handle rotation detection sensor 189, the driving force of the firing solenoid 542 in the ball launcher 540, which will be described later, changes according to the internal resistance, and the handle 195 rotates. The game ball B can be hit into the game area 5a with strength according to the angle.

[0212] The handle touch sensor 192 detects static electricity acting on the handle unit 180. When the player touches the handle 195, the handle touch sensor 192 detects static electricity acting from the player and detects the player's contact with the handle 195. To detect. Then, when the handle 195 is rotated while the handle touch sensor 192 is detecting the contact of the player, the detection of the handle rotation detection sensor 189 is received, and the firing solenoid is fired with the strength corresponding to the rotation angle of the handle 195. The drive of 542 is controlled, and the game ball B can be hit.

[0213] Therefore, even if the player tries to hit the game ball B into the game area 5a by rotating the handle 195 in some way without touching the handle 195, the handle touch sensor 192 does not detect the contact of the player. Therefore, the firing solenoid 542 is not driven, and the game ball B cannot be hit. As a result, it is possible to prevent the player from rotating the handle 195 in a way different from the original to play the game, and it is possible to reduce the load (burden) on the game hall in which the pachinko machine 1 is installed. .

[0214] The single-shot button operation sensor 194 detects a pressing operation of the single-shot button 193 by the player. When this single-shot button operation sensor 194 detects the operation of the single-shot button 193, the drive of the firing solenoid 542 is stopped by the firing control unit 633b of the payout control board 633. Therefore, when the player presses the single-shot button 193 while rotating the handle 195, the launch of the game ball B can be temporarily stopped without returning the rotating operation of the handle 195, and the single-shot button can be pressed. By canceling the pressing operation of 193, the game ball B can be hit again into the game area 5a with the hitting strength before operating the single-shot button 193.

[0215] Next, the handle cover unit 290 will be explained. The handle cover unit 290 covers the outer circumference of the handle unit 180 behind the handle 195, and the rear end of the handle cover base 291 is attached to the handle mounting seat surface 101b of the door frame base 101. An inner 292 whose cover and rear end is attached to the plate unit main body 252 of the plate unit 200, an annular handle cover decorative substrate 293 provided on the front side of the inner 292 and having a plurality of LEDs 293a mounted on the front surface, An annular board cover 294 covering the handle cover decorative board 293 from the front, and a handle cover 295 covering the outer periphery of the inner 292 and attached to the plate unit main body 252 of the plate unit 200 at the rear end are provided.

[0216] The handle cover base 291 includes a tubular front tubular portion 291a extending back and forth with an inner diameter approximately equal to the inner diameter of the outer peripheral ring portion 195c of the handle 195, and a front tubular portion 291a having an inner diameter that decreases forward from the rear end of the front tubular portion 291a. a cylindrical rear tubular portion 291c penetrating through the intermediate wall portion 291b and extending forward and backward with an inner diameter that allows insertion of the base portion 181a of the handle base 181; and the inner periphery of the rear tubular portion 291c. A plurality of (three in this case) projections 291d are provided at positions corresponding to the grooves 181c of the handle base 181 in the circumferential direction.

[0217] In addition, the handle cover base 291 has a flange portion 291e extending outward from a portion on the rear side of the front end of the outer circumference of the front cylindrical portion 291a, and a portion extending from the middle of the flange portion 291e to the same position as the front end of the front cylindrical portion 291a. A cylindrical outer cylinder portion 291f projecting forward up to the front cylinder portion 291f, a guide piece 291g projecting outward from the front cylinder portion 291a at a portion between the front end of the front cylinder portion 291a and the flange portion 291e, and a front cylinder and an opening 291h passing through the lower portion of the portion 291a.

[0218] The middle wall portion 291b of the handle cover base 291 extends in an arcuate cross section from the rear end of the front cylindrical portion 291a to near the center in the front-rear direction. The rear cylindrical portion 291c is attached to the handle mounting seat surface 101b of the door frame base 101 at its rear end. The rear tubular portion 291c has the same length as the base portion 181a of the handle base 181, and the base portion 181a of the handle base 181 is inserted therein. The three protrusions 291d correspond to the three grooves 181c of the handle base 181, and by being inserted into the grooves 181c, the handle base 181 can be made relatively non-rotatable. The outer cylindrical portion 291f extends forward from a position outside the radial center of the flange portion 291e. In the handle cover base 291, a plurality of triangular ribs are provided in the circumferential direction so as to connect the front surface of the flange portion 291e and the outer peripheral surface of the outer cylindrical portion 291f.

[0219] The guide piece 291g protrudes from the outer circumference of the front tubular portion 291a from the center between the outer circumference of the front tubular portion 291a and the inner circumference of the outer tubular portion 291f to a position near the front tubular portion 291a. The guide pieces 291g extend in the circumferential direction with a length in the range of about 110 degrees, and are provided three in the circumferential direction at intervals of 10 degrees. By inserting the rear end side of the guide portion 196a of the handle guide 196 in the handle unit 180 behind the guide piece 291g through the space between the guide pieces 291g and rotating the handle 195, a U-shaped guide portion is formed. A guide piece 291g can be positioned within 196a to restrict movement of the guide portion 196a (handle 195) in the front-rear direction.

[0220] The opening 291h extends from the rear end of the front cylindrical portion 291a to the vicinity of the flange portion 291e in the front-rear direction, and extends through the front cylindrical portion 291a with a size within an angle range of about 90 degrees in the circumferential direction. .

[0221] The inner 292 has an annular base portion 292a with an inner diameter slightly larger than the outer diameter of the front tubular portion 291a of the handle cover base 291 and an outer diameter larger than the flange portion 291e, and extends rearward from the outer peripheral edge of the base portion 292a. It has a leg portion 292b and a plurality of (here, four) notch portions 292c that are cut from the rear end of the leg portion 292b to the vicinity of the base portion 292a and are spaced apart in the circumferential direction. The front tubular portion 291a of the handle cover base 291 is inserted into the base portion 292a from the front, and the base portion 292a is positioned behind the flange portion 291e.

It has a constant voltage circuit, a sensor electrode, and a connector. The contact detection sensor main body 358 can detect the capacitance of the sensor electrodes it has inside. The connector of the contact detection sensor main body 358 has an external electrode terminal connected to the sensor electrode, and the external electrode terminal is connected to the contact detection body 352 . In other words, the contact detection sensor main body 358 allows the contact detection body 352 to function as an external sensor electrode. The contact detection sensor main body 358 detects the capacitance with the sensor electrode and outputs an ON signal when the capacitance exceeds a predetermined capacitance set by the external resistance. In the present embodiment, the ON signal is output when the capacitance exceeds a predetermined value, but signals in multiple stages may be output according to the magnitude of the capacitance.

[0361] Effect operation unit 350 of the present embodiment, the lower surface of the upper surface portion 351a of the button body 351, the contact detection body 352 is provided to function as a sensor electrode for detecting the capacitance by the contact detection sensor body 358. Therefore, contact or approach of the object to be detected (player's hand) to the upper surface of the button body 351 can be detected via the contact detection body 352 . In addition, since the contact detection body 352 of the production operation section unit 350 has a plurality of downwardly extending pieces 352a extending downward, the button main body It is possible to detect the contact or approach of the object to be detected (player's hand) to the side of 351 . As described above, the effect operation section unit 350 can cause the button body 351 to function as the contact operation section 302 with the contact detection body 352 and the contact detection sensor body 358 .

[0362] The effect operation section unit 350 is supported by a effect operation section elevating mechanism 360 so as to be vertically movable. When the effect operation section unit 350 is moved to the lowest position (normal state), the upper surface portion 351a of the button main body 351 is aligned with the upper surface of the unit upper cover 312 of the effect operation section cover unit 310, and the effect operation is performed. Unit 300 is made to look like one sphere. When the effect operation unit 350 is moved upward from the normal state by the effect operation unit elevating mechanism 360, the upper surface portion 351a of the button body 351 protrudes upward from the upper surface of the unit upper cover 312. By pressing downward against the urging force of the lifting spring 365, it can function as the pressing operation portion 303.

[0363] More specifically, when the effect operation section unit 350 is in the lowest state (normal state), it will not move further downward even if it is pressed, and it is in a state in which the pressing operation cannot be performed. . In this normal state, the detection piece 354 d of the button base 354 is detected by the press detection sensor 373 of the effect operation section lifting mechanism 360 . Then, when the effect operation part unit 350 is moved upward from the normal state by the effect operation part lifting mechanism 360, the detection piece 354d of the button base 354 is separated from the press detection sensor 373 and becomes a non-detection state. . Then, when the upper surface of the effect operation unit 350 is pushed downward and the effect operation unit 350 is lowered to the lower movement end against the biasing force of the lifting spring 365, the detection piece 354d of the button base 354 detects the pressing force. Detected by sensor 373 . As a result, the pressing operation of the effect operation unit 350 (pressing operation unit 303) is detected.

[0364] In addition, since the effect operation unit 350 covers the upper part of the contact detection body 352 made of punching metal with the button body 351, when the contact operation part 302 is operated, the upper surface of the smooth spherical button body 351 is touched. As a result, the player does not directly touch the surface of the punching metal having unevenness due to the plurality of holes, and the player can smoothly operate the contact operation unit 302 . In addition, since the contact detection body 352 is covered with the button body 351, by forming fine unevenness or a plurality of lines on the surface (upper surface) of the button body 351, the contact operation part 302 can be given an arbitrary tactile sensation. can be imparted, the degree of freedom in designing the contact operation unit 302 can be increased, and the pachinko machine 1 that further entertains the player can be provided.

[0365] Although the button body 351 is transparent in the above description, the button body 351 is not limited to this. This makes it difficult to see the contact detection body 352 made of punching metal through the button body 351, so that the appearance of the effect operation unit 350 can be improved. Further, when the button body 351 is made opaque, it is desirable to have translucency. As a result, the button body 351 can be illuminated with light from the LED 355a of the button outer decoration board 355 and the LED 364a of the button inner decoration board 364, etc. can entertain.
