DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a structure for attaching an electronic component such as a stepping motor to a game machine.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In recent years, when discarding an old pachinko game machine, among electronic components such as a stepping motor constituting a pachinko ball dispensing device, those with minor damage are: It has been removed from pachinko machines and used as a part of new pachinko machines.

However, electronic components such as a stepping motor are almost always screwed to a predetermined position of a pachinko game machine with a wood screw. Therefore, when removing the electronic components, the wood screws must be removed one by one. Must be done, and the work is troublesome. For this reason, the time and labor required for the removal work are weighed against the cost reduction by reusing the electronic components, and if no profit is obtained, a part of the removal work is omitted or the removal work is not performed at all. In many cases, electronic components that can be originally reused are discarded without being performed, that is, in a state where the electronic components are left in the pachinko game machine.

As described above, the electronic components of the conventional pachinko gaming machine have not been sufficiently reused. Therefore, an object of the present invention is to make it possible to easily remove an electronic component when an old pachinko game machine is discarded.

[0005]

Means for Solving the Problems and Effects of the Invention In order to achieve such an object, an electronic component mounting device according to the present invention is provided as an object to be fixed to a gaming machine. An electronic component mounting tool for mounting an electronic component on a plurality of legs having hook portions formed on one end side for hooking on the fixed object, and connecting the other end sides of the plurality of leg portions to each other. At the same time, a leg connecting portion having a screw hole drilled in the connecting portion, a screw rod capable of being screwed into the screw hole of the leg connecting portion, and formed at one end of the screw rod to abut the electronic component. A pressing portion formed on the other end side of the screw bar, and an operating portion for rotating the screw bar by an external operation. Operate the operation unit in a state where the screw is directly or indirectly hooked on the fixed object, and When the is rotated, the electronic component is configured to be pressed toward the fixed object side and fixed by the pressing portion that moves toward the fixed object side due to the rotation of the screw bar. It is characterized by being. here,
The leg is preferably made of a metal or a synthetic resin having an appropriate flexibility so that the leg can be easily hooked on an object to be fixed.

When mounting an electronic component on a fixed object of a gaming machine using the electronic component mounting tool according to the present invention, the operator first mounts an electronic component such as a stepping motor on a fixed object such as a pachinko ball dispensing device. It is placed at a predetermined position on the object.
Next, the hook is hooked on a wall surface or the like of the object to be fixed. Then, the operation unit is operated to rotate the screw bar. Then, the pressing portion integrated with the operating portion and the screw rod moves toward the fixed object and approaches the electronic component, and finally the pressing portion and the electronic component come into contact with each other. When the operation unit is further operated from this state, the electronic component is pressed toward the fixing target by the pressing unit, and is fixed at that position.

[0007] When disposing of the old game machine, when removing the electronic parts, the operator must first remove the electronic component.
By operating the operation unit, the screw rod is rotated in a direction opposite to the previous direction.
Then, the pressing portion gradually moves away from the electronic component, and the fixing of the electronic component is released. Thereafter, it is only necessary to remove the hooking portion from the wall surface of the fixing target.

Therefore, according to the electronic component mounting tool of the present invention, the electronic component can be easily removed when the old pachinko game machine is discarded. Further, as described in claim 2, in the electronic component mounting tool according to the present invention, in each of the legs, the hook portion side faces the pressing direction of the pressing portion, and the It is preferable that the pressing portion is configured so that the electronic component is pressed toward the fixing target side and fixed by sandwiching the fixing target and the electronic component.

In the case where the electronic component mounting device according to the present invention is configured as described above, the engaging portion and the pressing portion sandwich the fixed object and the electronic component like a vise. In addition, the electronic component can be stably pressed and fixed. In particular, if the legs are arranged so as to straddle the electronic component, the fixing object and the electronic component can be more stably sandwiched, so that the electronic component can be more stably fixed.

When it is difficult to directly hook the hanging portion because of the complicated shape of the wall surface of the object to be fixed, the hanging portion is indirectly hooked to the object to be fixed. However, in this case, the manner in which the hook is indirectly hooked is arbitrary. However, the work required for indirect hooking is preferably as simple as possible.

Therefore, in the electronic component mounting device according to the present invention, as described in claim 3, a cutout portion having a shape through which the leg portion can be inserted and the hook portion cannot be inserted is formed. By attaching an auxiliary plate member to the object to be fixed, hooking the latching portion on an edge of a notch of the auxiliary plate member, and sandwiching the electronic component between the auxiliary plate member and the pressing portion, It is preferable that the electronic component is configured to be pressed toward the object to be fixed and fixed. Here, the method of attaching the auxiliary plate member to the object to be fixed is arbitrary, and examples thereof include a method of attaching the auxiliary plate member using an adhesive.

When the electronic component mounting device according to the present invention is configured as described above, an auxiliary plate member conforming to the outer shape of the object to be fixed is simply mounted on the fixing member, so that the wall surface of the object to be fixed or the like is removed. Electronic components can be attached regardless of the shape. In addition, the auxiliary plate member is not limited to the one having the cutout portion formed in this way. For example, as described in claim 4, instead of the cutout portion, the hook portion A keyhole is formed in the auxiliary plate member by connecting a circular hole that can be inserted and a long hole that has a width that allows the leg to be inserted and the hook cannot be inserted, and the leg is connected to the hook. The leg portion may be inserted into the elongated hole while being inserted through the round hole together with the stop portion, so that the hook portion can be hooked on the auxiliary plate member.

[0013] Even in the case of such a configuration, similarly, when the auxiliary plate member is mounted on the fixed object, the electronic component can be mounted regardless of the shape of the wall surface or the like of the fixed object. According to a fifth aspect of the present invention, there is provided an electronic component mounting tool according to the fifth aspect, wherein the leg portion, the leg connecting portion, the screw rod, the pressing portion, and the pressing portion move toward the object to be fixed. A covering member that covers the pressed electronic component may be provided.

When the electronic component mounting device according to the present invention is configured as described above, the electronic component can be protected from dust. Further, instead of separately providing a covering member, as described in claim 6, the leg connecting portion is pressed toward the fixed object by the screw rod, the pressing portion, and the pressing portion. It may be formed so as to cover the electronic component.

When the electronic component mounting device according to the present invention is configured as described above, the electronic component can be similarly protected from dust.
