Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a handle fixing device used when playing a pachinko game with a pachinko game machine.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Pachinko gaming machines such as pachinko machines and arrangement ball type pachinko machines are equipped with a firing handle operated by a player to adjust the strength of a shooting force.
Although the design shape of the firing handle differs from manufacturer to manufacturer, a normal firing handle 50 is connected to a rotating dial portion 51, a grip portion 52 supporting the dial portion 51, and a grip portion 52 as illustrated in FIG. And a holding portion 53 fixed to the front frame or the like of the pachinko gaming machine, a shaft portion 54 that rotates in conjunction with the dial portion 51, and the like.
The dial portion 51 is provided with a plurality of finger hooks 51a, a part of the grip portion 52 is a conductive touch portion 55, and a touch wiring 56 connected to the touch portion 55 is also provided.

[0003] The player operates the dial portion 5 of the firing handle 50.
When the player attaches his hand to 1 and rotates it, the firing device operates to fire a game ball. However, when the player's hand or the like is not in contact with the touch unit 55, the fire is not performed even when the dial unit 51 is turned. The player has to turn the dial portion 51 with his own hand and hold it at an appropriate position, but becomes very tired over a long time. Therefore, for example, a gap between the dial unit 51 and the touch unit 55, a finger hook 51
The rotation position of the dial unit 51 is fixed by sandwiching a coin between a and the touch unit 55 or the like.

[0004]

However, if a coin is sandwiched in this way, the portion may be damaged. Further, the gap between the dial portion and the touch portion differs depending on the manufacturer, and may be, for example, open to a thickness of about two coins or may be smaller than the thickness of the coin. If a coin is forcibly inserted into a narrow gap, the firing handle may be broken, which is not preferable for a game store.

[0005]

According to the first aspect of the present invention, there is provided a handle fixing device for solving the above-mentioned problems.
Since it is a plastic plate-shaped body and is provided with a plurality of wedge portions having different plate thicknesses, for example, a wedge portion having a plate thickness matching the gap between the dial portion and the touch portion is selected and inserted. Thus, the position of the dial unit can be fixed. Since the thickness of the wedge is different,
Because you can select and use it according to the size of the gap,
The firing handle will not be damaged by forcing it.

Since the material is plastic,
There is no risk that the firing handle will be damaged by friction or the like. In addition, since it is made of plastic and has no conductivity, it cannot be grounded by bringing a cigarette packaging foil, a key or the like into contact therewith. Therefore, since the player must keep one hand in contact with the firing handle (both hands cannot be free), it is difficult to perform an action such as illegally crafting a pachinko gaming machine.

[0007] The shape of the handle fixture is, for example, in claim 3
When the disk shape (coin shape) is used as described, there is an advantage that there is no risk of damaging the fabric when the disk is put in a pocket or the like. However, since the shape itself is not limited, it can be arbitrarily set such as a triangle, a square, a hexagon, and a heart.

There is no particular limitation on the size of the handle fixture, but it can be said that a size of about a coin is easy to handle. In such a case, there is a risk of loss. Therefore, it is preferable to provide a through hole that penetrates the front and back so as to be connectable to other articles. For example, if you use this as a key ring, you will carry it almost always,
You won't be entering a game store without this.

Further, since the handle fixing device can be manufactured at a low cost by injection molding of plastic, for example, the handle fixing device can be prepared for use in a game store and used freely by a player, or distributed to a player who has become a member of the game store. It is possible to use it. In such a case, it is advisable to engrave or print the name of the amusement store or a mark.
