DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a pachinko / slot shared island system in which a pachinko or slot island is supported on a support frame to form a pachinko / slot island. The present invention relates to a pachinko / slot shared island system capable of freely performing mutual conversion.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, in an amusement hall having both a pachinko board and a slot board, a pachinko and a slot island are generally built back to back at a boundary between the pachinko and the slot island as shown in FIG. ing. The support frame 21 for supporting the pachinko machine 14 and the support frame 22 for supporting the slot machine 15 are combined with the pachinko machine 14.
This is because it is necessary to change the height position from the floor supporting the table and to separately configure the slot table 15 from the operational problem of the slot table 15. That is, since the position of the handle 19 for operating the pachinko machine 14 and the position of the medal insertion slot of the slot machine 15 are different, it is necessary to use different support frames to make them easy to operate. For this reason, at the position where the pachinko and slot islands are located in the play hall, two different support frames must be built back to back to form a double island configuration, which increases the island width and, correspondingly, the island width. There was a problem that the width of the passage became narrow.

In recent years, it has been demanded that pachinko islands can be freely converted into slot islands and, conversely, slot islands can be freely converted into pachinko islands in response to changes in the form of business. It will be changed to In addition, the pachinko island is provided with a mechanism (hereinafter referred to as a ball supply mechanism) 20 for supplying pachinko balls to each pachinko machine 14, and a mechanism for supplying slot medals to each slot board 15 (hereinafter medal supply) is also provided on the slot island. 30)
Are provided, and when the pachinko machine 14 and the slot machine 15 are replaced, the corresponding game medium supply mechanisms 20, 30 are provided.
Extensive construction was also necessary, such as replacing Therefore, a support frame has been proposed which has excellent workability of exchanging a pachinko machine and a slot machine and can freely convert an island configuration without performing a large-scale construction. That is, a pachinko machine or a slot machine can be supported on both front and rear surfaces of one support frame so that one support frame can be shared. As an example, the one described in JP-A-11-47417 is disclosed. Can be raised.

[0004] Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. Hei 11-47417 discloses a method in which an upper end supporting portion or a lower end supporting portion for supporting a support of a support frame is vertically moved with respect to an upper frame portion or a lower frame portion through position adjusting means. To be movable to
When supporting the slot table, since the supporting height from the floor of the table must be lower than that of the pachinko table, the lower end support section is moved downward by the position adjusting means with respect to the lower frame section and fixed, On top of that we support the slot table,
When supporting a pachinko machine, the supporting height from the floor of the machine must be higher than that of the slot machine.Therefore, move the lower end support part upward to fix it, and support the pachinko machine on it. It was made. The adjustment of the support height position from the floor of the table in this way is based on the premise that the operability is maintained according to the table while the height of the chair on which the player sits is kept constant. is there.

However, by moving the support portion of the table as described above, the vertical dimension of the space between the upper frame portion and the lower frame portion supporting the table of the support frame and the floor height of the lower frame portion are reduced. The dimensions will change. Therefore, when converting the island configuration, since the height dimensions of the pachinko machine and the slot machine are the same, when the slot machine is installed, a gap occurs in the upper part of the space, and this gap is filled. However, there is a problem that another component that is not particularly required when installing the pachinko machine, such as a dollar box shelf, must be newly embedded in the gap and installed. Also, since the floor height dimension of the lower frame part below the support part changes, it is necessary to change the waistboard to a different size each time, and a medal collection facility for slots is installed in the lower frame part of the common island. There was a problem that it was practically difficult to keep them on a regular basis. What is particularly problematic is that when the pachinko machine and the slot machine are converted on the island, the replenishing mechanism corresponding to each gaming machine must be transferred. Therefore, even though it is a shared island system, when converting the island configuration, it is necessary to newly install or relocate the parts and mechanisms on the island corresponding to each gaming machine, and in any case, it will involve large-scale construction Had become.

On the other hand, when converting the island configuration, the support height position of the slot table 15 from the floor surface is not adjusted due to the configuration of the support frame 22, and the same support height position as the pachinko table 14 as shown in FIG. There is also a method of supporting the slot table 15 on the H and setting the dollar box shelf 23 on the front surface of the curtain plate 24. In this case, the position of the medal slot of the slot table 15 becomes higher by that amount, so that a chair of the same height is used. There is a problem that operability is inevitably deteriorated while sitting on the floor. Therefore, in such a case, the height of the chair is changed.However, in a normal play hall, the chair is often fixed to the floor with an anchor or the like. Because of this, the entire construction of the hall was necessary.

[0007]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made to address the above-mentioned problems.

Pachinko and slot islands can be configured respectively.

Thus, according to the above-described embodiment, the position at the boundary between the pachinko island and the slot island in the hall is:
One support frame 1 is built, and a pachinko stand 14 is installed on one surface of the space 16 and a slot stand 15 is installed on the other surface, so that one support frame 1 can be installed without separately building a support frame. Pachinko and slot islands can be shared. Therefore, the island width at the border between the pachinko island and the slot island can be significantly reduced as compared with the conventional case where the support frame is separately provided, and the passage width can be increased accordingly.

Also, in the case where the single support frame 1 is shared and the pachinko island is converted into the slot island and the slot island is converted into the pachinko island, it is particularly necessary to add, change or move the parts on the support frame 1 side. Without using the existing components already installed to support the pachinko machine 14 or the slot machine 15 in the space 16 of the support frame 1, the pachinko machine 14 or the slot machine 1 is used.
5 can be replaced by a simple operation. Moreover, the ball replenishing mechanism 20 and the medal replenishing mechanism 30 provided on the upper part of the island corresponding to the pachinko machine 14 and the slot machine 15 may be connected. That is, when converting a pachinko island into a slot island, the pachinko stand 14 is removed as shown in FIG. 2, and the dollar box shelf 17 and the table board 18 used to support the pachinko stand 14 are used as they are. The table board 18, the slot table 15, and the dollar box shelf 17 are sequentially installed from below on the upper surface of the lower frame section 5, and the slot table 15 and the medal supply mechanism 30 are connected to change the island configuration to the slot island. Can be converted.

On the other hand, conversely, when converting a slot island into a pachinko island, the existing dollar box shelf 17 and
The dollar box shelf 17, the table board 18, and the pachinko machine 14 are sequentially installed from below on the upper surface of the lower frame portion 5,
By connecting the pachinko machine 14 and the ball supply mechanism 20, the island configuration can be converted to a pachinko island. Therefore, the conversion of the island configuration is easy with only simple replacement work, with no extra cost, minimum cost and construction time, without major renovation work, addition, change, or movement of new parts. Can be implemented.

In the conversion of the island configuration, the position of the dollar box shelf 17 is changed, so that the pachinko table 14 and the slot table 1 have a dimension corresponding to the height dimension.
5, the installation height position can be automatically adjusted. Therefore, by setting these dimensions appropriately, the position of the operation handle 19 of the pachinko machine 14 and the position of the medal slot of the slot table 15 can be changed by the handle operation and the medal, respectively, while sitting on the same height chair. It can be determined to be the optimal position for the input. For this reason, even if the island configuration is changed, it is not necessary to change the height of the chair, and it is not necessary to replace the chair.

When a pachinko island is usually converted into a slot island and a slot island is converted into a pachinko island, it is necessary to install or remove medal collecting equipment besides the ball supply mechanism 20 and the medal supply mechanism 30. Although large-scale renovation work had to be performed, it was not necessary to change the configuration of the upper frame portion 4 and the lower frame portion 5 even when the island configuration was changed, as in the present embodiment. If the ball replenishing mechanism 20 and the medal replenishing mechanism 30 are provided, and the lower frame portion 5 is provided with the medal collecting facility 12 in addition to the pachinko ball collecting facility 9, the slot island can be constituted thereby. Since the repair work of the replenishment and recovery equipment for the game media can be omitted, the conversion of the island configuration can be further simplified.

To (C), a combination of pachinko and pachinko machines (A), a combination of pachinko and slot machines (B), and a combination of slot and slot machines (C). It can be composed of variations. At this time, the ball supply mechanism 20 is shared by the pachinko and pachinko machines (A), and the ball supply mechanism 20 and the medal supply mechanism 30 are provided by the pachinko and slot machines (B). The medal replenishment mechanism 30 is shared between the slot table and the slot table (C). Further, the pachinko machine 14 and the slot machine 15 are mixed and installed on one or both of the front and rear surfaces of the space 16 so that the pachinko machine 14 and the slot machine 15 can be freely arranged on the same surface side in the same island, for example, as shown in FIG. As shown in Fig. 4, the mixed layout of the pachinko machine 14 and the slot machine 15 allows the island layout to be changed radically and boldly, so that the pachinko machine 14 and the slot machine 15 can be installed adjacently. be able to.

[0025]

As described above in detail, according to the pachinko / slot shared island system according to the present invention, the island where the boundary between the pachinko / slot island in the hall is installed is also provided.
Since one supporting frame can be shared and one surface can be configured for each pachinko machine and the other surface can be configured for each slot machine, the island width can be minimized and the passage width can be widened.
Also, when converting the island configuration from a pachinko machine to a slot machine and from a slot machine to a pachinko machine, simply replace or change the existing parts and mechanisms, without newly installing or relocating new parts or mechanisms. In addition, since it can be carried out without performing a large-scale renovation work, the island configuration can be easily converted at a minimum cost with only a simple replacement work.

Moreover, since the island configuration can be easily changed by adjusting the support height position of the pachinko and slot tables from the floor, the height of the chair on which the player sits is changed to maintain operability. There is no need and the island configuration can be converted at no extra cost. Furthermore, it is possible to easily configure various combinations of pachinko machines and slot machines and mixed archipelagos of novel pachinko machines and slot machines, regardless of the conversion of the island structure,
