Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a mounting technique for mounting a pachinko gaming machine on a gaming machine installation base unit generally called an "island", and more particularly to a technique for easily adjusting the inclination of a pachinko gaming machine. Mounting technology.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art A pachinko game machine is used in a state where it is attached to a game machine installation base unit generally called an "island", more specifically, for example, a wooden frame provided on the "island".
Since a pachinko game machine is quite heavy, such attachment is usually performed in a fixed manner.

On the other hand, in pachinko gaming machines, management of payout adjustment is indispensable. In general, the adjustment of the payout required for such management is performed by adjusting a large number of nails erected on the board of the pachinko gaming machine. However, adjusting such nails requires skill and intuition based on many years of experience, and is not something that anyone can do.

By the way, the adjustment of the payout in the pachinko game machine can be performed without depending on the adjustment of the nail as described above. That is, such adjustment can be performed by giving the pachinko gaming machine an appropriate inclination with the nail fixed. In other words, the closer the slingshot machine is to a horizontal angle, the more the ball gets caught in the nail. for that reason,
If the inclination angle of the pachinko machine is reduced, the effect of the nail on the movement of the ball will be greatly affected. Utilizing such a property, by providing an appropriate inclination when attaching the pachinko gaming machine to the frame, the same effect as when adjusting the nail is made much easier than adjusting the nail. Will be obtained. In addition, if the post-adjustment of the inclination angle can be performed, the convenience is remarkably improved.

[0005] Based on such knowledge, the inventor of the present application has been studying for a while. Then, for example, a pachinko game machine mounting device disclosed in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 10-080563 has been devised. The pachinko gaming machine mounting device includes a first member fixed to an upper portion of a frame of a pachinko gaming machine installation base unit, and a first member fixed to an upper portion of the pachinko gaming machine, and a front-rear direction of the pachinko gaming machine. A second member fixed to the first member with an arbitrary relative position with respect to the first member, wherein the pachinko gaming machine is provided with an arbitrary inclination angle. It can be fixed to. In other words, the relative position of the second member with respect to the first member can be changed to enable appropriate positioning, so that the pachinko gaming machine can be attached to the frame with an appropriate inclination. At the same time, it is possible to change the inclination angle afterwards.

Although this pachinko gaming machine mounting device is very convenient, it does not mean that there is no point to be improved. That is, it is easy to grasp the relative position between the first member and the second member, but it is difficult to grasp the absolute inclination angle of the pachinko gaming machine at that time. That is, the first member when the first member is attached to the pachinko gaming machine installation table unit, the positional relationship between the pachinko gaming machine installation table units, and the second member when the second member is attached to the pachinko gaming machine. Since the positional relationship between the gaming machines is not always constant, the relative position of the first member and the second member in the initial state will inevitably vary. In such a situation where the initial state is not constant, the first
No matter how the relative positional relationship between the member and the second member is detected,
It is difficult to uniquely determine the relative positional relationship between the pachinko gaming machine installation base unit and the pachinko gaming machine, and therefore, by determining the positional relationship between the first member and the second member, the pachinko gaming It is extremely difficult to accurately determine the angle of inclination of the aircraft. In order to eliminate the variation in the mounting position when the first member is mounted on the pachinko gaming machine installation base unit and the variation in the mounting position when the second member is mounted on the pachinko gaming machine, for example, the mounting of the first member, the second It is sufficient to mount one of the members, perform accurate positioning so that the relative positions of both members are constant, and then mount the other. In this way, the initial relative positions of the two can be made constant. However,
Performing such a complicated procedure is not a very reasonable solution. In addition, the pachinko gaming machine mounting device needs to perform the mounting operation in a very narrow part on the back side of the pachinko gaming machine, and it is difficult to execute the above-described operation for positioning itself. .

[0007]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION According to the present invention, a first member fixed to a frame and a pachinko game machine are fixed to the first member at any position relative to the first member. It is an object of the present invention to improve a pachinko gaming machine mounting device including the second member so that the absolute inclination angle of the pachinko gaming machine at that time can be easily grasped.

[0008]

Means for Solving the Problems The present invention for solving the problems is as follows. According to the present invention, a first member fixed to an upper portion of a frame of a pachinko gaming machine installation base unit, and a first member fixed to an upper portion of the pachinko gaming machine and capable of being translated in the front-rear direction of the pachinko gaming machine. A second member adapted to give the pachinko gaming machine an appropriate tilt angle by being fixed to the first member at an arbitrary relative position with respect to the first member. The mounting device is basically used.
And the frame and the first member, the pachinko gaming machine and the second member,
And an adjusting means capable of adjusting the inclination of the pachinko gaming machine in a state in which the first member and the second member are all fixed. The pachinko gaming machine mounting device can adjust the inclination of the pachinko gaming machine in a state in which the frame and the first member, the pachinko gaming machine and the second member, and the first member and the second member are all fixed. Adjustable means are provided. Therefore, even if the first member is attached to the pachinko gaming machine installation base unit without performing accurate positioning, or the second member is attached to the pachinko gaming machine,
Even if the initial relative position of the first member and the second member deviates from a preferable one, it is possible to cancel out the variation later by appropriately operating the above-mentioned adjusting means. Therefore, the use of the pachinko gaming machine mounting apparatus makes it easy to grasp the absolute inclination angle of the pachinko gaming machine at that time without increasing the complexity of the mounting operation.

Here, the adjusting means adjusts the inclination of the pachinko game machine in a state in which the frame and the first member, the pachinko game machine and the second member, and the first member and the second member are all fixed. Any configuration may be used as long as the configuration can be performed. For example, the adjusting means adjusts the relative position of the first member fixed to the frame in the front-rear direction with respect to the frame, or adjusts the second member fixed to the pachinko gaming machine in the front-rear direction of the pachinko gaming machine. It may be configured to perform at least one of adjusting the relative position. The first member only needs to be fixed to the upper portion of the frame of the pachinko gaming machine installation base unit. The second member is fixed to the upper portion of the pachinko gaming machine, and is capable of moving in parallel in the front-rear direction of the pachinko gaming machine, and is fixed to the first member at an arbitrary position relative to the first member. Anything is fine. As long as the first member and the second member satisfy such conditions,
The specific configuration does not matter. For example, the second member described above can be translated in the front-rear direction of the pachinko gaming machine,
And a moving member fixed to the first member at an arbitrary position, and a fixing member for fixing the moving member to the pachinko gaming machine. And between them. In this case, the second member and the adjusting member can be as follows. That is, the second member may have a proximal end formed with a threaded thread on the outer periphery and a bolt portion extending in the front-rear direction of the pachinko gaming machine. Further, the adjusting member has a threaded nut portion on the inner periphery thereof, and is rotatably supported by the fixing member in a state where the bolt portion is screwed to the nut portion. Can be. And
The initial position can be adjusted by rotating the adjusting member and moving the second member in the front-rear direction of the pachinko gaming machine. In addition, the second member, the fixing portion, and the adjustment member
It can be configured as follows. That is, the base end of the moving member is threaded on the outer periphery thereof and is a bolt portion extending in the front-rear direction of the pachinko gaming machine, and the adjusting member is threaded on the inner periphery thereof. The nut portion is formed in a substantially cylindrical shape having an inner hole, and an outer periphery thereof is provided with a groove portion which is prevented from reaching the nut portion and has an annular shape. The tip is provided with two protrusions whose interval is wider than the inner diameter of the groove and smaller than the outer diameter, and the protrusion is inserted into a target position of the groove to be rotatable so that the adjusting member is rotatable. It is also possible to adjust the inclination of the pachinko gaming machine by rotating the adjusting member and moving the second member in the front-rear direction of the pachinko gaming machine.

The holding block 2 forms the core of the first member in the present invention, and is configured, for example, as shown in FIGS. 3 to 8 (particularly, FIGS. 3 and 4). The holding block 2 in this embodiment is formed using, for example, a solid metal block body, and a rack holding hole 16 having a cross-sectional shape corresponding to the cross-sectional shape of the rack member 3 described later is penetrated. And rack holding holes 16
An adjustment hole 17 which is orthogonal to the above and intersects with the rack holding hole 16 penetrates through an adjustment hole 17 overlapping with a thickness of the rack member 3 to be described later. The adjusting hole 17 is provided for inserting an adjusting tool 4 described later. The adjusting hole 17 has a positioning groove 18 formed on the inner peripheral surface in the longitudinal direction.
Is provided. At the opening end of the adjustment hole 17, a stopper projection 19 is provided so as to correspond to the position where the positioning groove 18 is formed.

The holding block 2 also has a lock portion 21 as shown in FIGS. 5 to 8, for example. The lock portion 21 fixes the rack member 3 movable relative to the holding block 2 in an appropriately positioned state.

The lock portion 21 of the mounting device A is constructed by incorporating an engaging body 22 and a pressing bolt 25 that engages with a screw hole formed in the holding block 2 and presses the engaging body 22 into the holding block 2. Have been. The engaging body 22 that is brought into contact with the tip of the pressing bolt 25 has a circular main body and a claw 22t that can engage with the rack teeth. The lock portion 21 includes a compression coil spring 501, an upper ratchet 502, a lower ratchet 503, and a slide plate 504.
Contains. On the upper surface of the holding block 2, a cylindrical portion 505 having an inner hole 505A having a polygonal cross section is provided. The inner hole 505A in this example has an octagonal cross section. Below the inner hole 505A, a lower hole 506 slightly smaller in diameter than the inner hole 505A is provided. Inside thereof, a fixing nut 507 having a through-hole whose inner surface is threaded so as to be screwed with the pressing bolt 25 is fixedly attached.

The above-described upper ratchet 502 and lower ratchet 503 have similar shapes. FIG. 6 shows the shape of the lower ratchet 503. Both the upper ratchet 502 and the lower ratchet 503 are plate-shaped members having a cross section of a shape (octagon in this example) that fits into the above-mentioned inner hole. The upper ratchet 502 and the lower ratchet 503 both have two octagonal surfaces. Ratchet teeth 502A, 503A extending in the radial direction are provided on one surface, and hexagonal cross-section receiving holes 502B, 503B are provided on the other surface.
Are provided respectively. Also, upper ratchet 5
02 or the center of the receiving hole 502B, 505B that matches the center of the lower ratchet 503, the upper ratchet 502
Or a through hole 502C penetrating the lower ratchet 503;
505C is drilled. These upper ratchet 50
2 or lower ratchet 503 has ratchet teeth 502
When A and 503A are opposed to each other and mesh with each other, they rotate only in one direction.

The slide plate 504 is, for example, as shown in FIG. The slide plate 504 of this example is formed by bending a rectangular metal plate at a portion adjacent to both short sides and substantially 90 degrees in parallel with the short sides. The slide plate 504 is provided with a substantially keyhole-shaped hole penetrating a substantially circular hole 504A and a substantially elliptical small hole 504B connected to the circular hole 504A.

The pressing bolt 25 of the lock portion 21
Are as shown in FIG. The pressing bolt 25 has a knob on its head, is formed in a wing nut shape, and is fixedly attached with a nut 25A having a hexagonal cross section immediately below the head. The sectional shape of the nut 25A is such that it fits into the receiving hole 502B of the upper ratchet 502 and passes through the circular hole 504A of the slide plate 504, but does not pass through the small hole 504B.

A compression coil spring 501, an upper ratchet 502, a lower ratchet 503, and a slide plate 504
Are combined as shown in the schematic diagram of FIG.
The upper ratchet 502 and the lower ratchet 503 are arranged with the ratchet teeth 502A and 503A facing each other. And the lower ratchet 503 is
It is inserted into the inner hole 505A of the cylindrical portion 505. Since the lower ratchet 503 has a size corresponding to the inner hole 505A, it can slide up and down by the inner hole 505A.
The rotation is regulated by the inner surface of the inner hole 505A. A compression coil spring 501 is disposed below the lower ratchet 503. The lower end of the compression coil spring 501 is regulated by a step formed at a connection portion between the inner hole 505A and the lower hole 506, and the upper end thereof constantly urges the lower ratchet 503 upward. Due to this urging force, a force in the meshing direction always acts on both ratchet teeth 502A and 503A. Upper ratchet 50
A slide plate 504 is placed on the top 2. The pressing bolt 25 passes through the circular hole 504A or the small hole 504B of the slide plate 504, the through holes 502C and 505C of the upper ratchet 502 and the lower ratchet 503, and is screwed with the through hole of the fixing nut 507. Inner hole 50
It is inserted from 5A to the pilot hole 506. The pressing bolt 25 presses the engaging body 22 at its lower end.

The lock 21 takes two states as shown in FIGS. 5A and 5B. In the state shown in FIG. 5A, the pressing bolt 25 is
Are passed through the circular hole 504A. The nut 25A of the pressing bolt 25 in this state passes through the circular hole 504A of the slide plate 504, and
02 and the receiving hole 502B. In this state, when trying to rotate the pressing bolt 25 in either direction,
The upper ratchet 502 and the lower ratchet 503 also try to rotate simultaneously. Here, the lower ratchet 503 cannot rotate due to the regulation by the inner surface of the inner hole 505A. By the way, as described above, the upper ratchet 502 is rotatable only in one direction with respect to the lower ratchet 503. Therefore, when the pressing bolt 25 is rotated in that direction, the lower ratchet 502 is pushed downward against the biasing force of the compression coil spring 501. That is, when the pressing bolt 25 is rotated in a direction in which the rotation of the upper ratchet 502 is allowed in relation to the lower ratchet 503, the pressing bolt 2
5 can be rotated. In this lock part 21,
Upper ratchet 503 in relation to lower ratchet 503
Is allowed to rotate in the same direction as the direction in which the pressing bolt 25 is tightened. That is,
In the state (a), the pressing bolt 25 can be rotated in the tightening direction. On the other hand, even if the pressing bolt 25 is rotated in a direction in which the rotation of the upper ratchet 503 is restricted in relation to the lower ratchet 503, the pressing bolt 25 does not rotate. In other words, the lower ratchet 503, which cannot rotate due to the restriction by the inner surface of the inner hole 505A, is restricted, and the upper ratchet 502 cannot rotate. The pressing bolt 25 whose nut 25A is fitted into the receiving hole 502B of the upper ratchet 502 cannot rotate because the rotation is restricted by the upper ratchet 502. Therefore, in this state (a), the pressing bolt 25 rotates only in the direction in which the pressing bolt 25 is tightened. Since this state does not allow the pressing bolt 25 to be loosened, it is used when the rack member 3 is directly fixed to the holding block 2 and fixed as it is. Next, the state shown in FIG. In this state, the pressing bolt 25
It is in a state of penetrating the small hole 504B of the slide plate 504. The nut 25 of the pressing bolt 25 in this state
A does not fit into the receiving hole 502B of the upper ratchet 502 due to the interference of the slide plate 504. Since the pressing bolt 25 in this state is not restricted by the upper ratchet 502 from rotating, the pressing bolt 25 can be rotated in either a tightening direction or a loosening direction. This state (b) is used when adjusting the tightening amount of the pressing bolt 25 or when releasing the pressing of the engaging body 22. By appropriately using the above states (a) and (b) by parallel movement of the slide plate 504,
The rack member 3 is fixed to the holding block 2 at an appropriate position, and the locked state can be easily released. This facilitates setting and post-change of the inclination angle of the pachinko gaming machine P.

The rack member 3 moves back and forth (moves in the front-rear direction in FIG. 2). Here, the position adjustment of the rack member 3 by the rotation of the position adjustment member 6 is performed as follows. In this embodiment, the inclination scale 61 is a quarter of the standard inclination in the pachinko industry (the upper side of the pachinko game machine is retracted behind the lower side, that is, 13.5 mm into the island. In the state where the arrow mark 62 points to (backward tilt),
As can be seen in FIG.
Is provided so as to be located at an intermediate point between the mounting holes 53a and 53b. In this state, the position adjusting member 6 is rotated,
As a result, the inclination of the pachinko gaming machine P is set to ５. By doing so, the initial relative position between the holding block 2 and the rack member 3 is set to an appropriate position.

In order to adjust the inclination of the pachinko gaming machine P in a state where the mounting device A is mounted and the initial relative position is adjusted as described above, the adjusting tool 4 is used. Specifically, first, the adjustment tool 4 is set. In other words, the operation unit 36 is adjusted so that the rotational relationship of the rotating drum 37 with respect to the outer peripheral frame 46 corresponds to the intended inclination. For this purpose, the rotary drum 37 is pushed into the state shown in FIG. 15 against the bias of the compression coil spring 60. In this state, the outer spline teeth forming portion of the rotating cylinder 37 corresponds to the position of the flat portion 49, so that the engagement of the outer spline teeth 55 with the inner spline teeth 51 is released, and the rotating cylinder 37 is freely rotated. be able to. Using this state, the rotating drum 37 is rotated by a required angle. At the time of this rotation, the key projection 56 repeatedly engages with and disengages from the inner peripheral spline teeth 51, whereby the rotating operation of the rotary drum 37 can be performed at the spline tooth pitch. The necessary angle is set by aligning the arrow mark 62 of the rotating drum 37 with the inclination scale 61 of the outer peripheral frame 46. For example, in the case where the inclination is reduced to ３ from the ４ of the standard inclination setting, the arrow mark is set to the target scale value of ３ (shown by a two-dot chain line in FIG. 10). . Further, in this case, the adjusting tool 4 is
7, the locking projection 54 is attached to the right mounting hole 53a viewed in the state of FIG. If the inclination is increased from the quarter, the rotation direction of the adjuster 4 is reversed, so the locking projection 54 is attached to the left mounting hole 53b.

After the above adjustment is completed, the shaft 35 of the adjuster 4
Is inserted into the adjusting hole 17 of the holding block 2 until the stopper projection 19 comes into contact with the operation portion 36 or the locking projection 54 comes into contact with the holding block 2. This insertion is performed by the shaft 35
The positioning projections 42 are located along the positioning grooves 18 of the adjustment holes 17, that is, the positioning projections 42 are fitted into the positioning grooves 18. Then, the stopper claw 34 of the rack member 3
Is retracted to allow the rack member 3 to move forward. In other words, the stopper claw 34 protrudes by its own weight when the inclination is larger than 厘, and the tip thereof abuts on the holding block 2 when the inclination is ４, whereby the rack member 3 moves forward. Is temporarily regulated, an operation to release this state is performed. When the rack member 3 can be advanced in this way, the adjusting tool 4 is rotated until the locking projection 54 abuts against the stopper projection 19 of the holding block 2. Then, the rack member 3 moves forward by an amount corresponding to this rotation, so that the rack member 3 is fixed by tightening the lock member 21 at that position. As a result, a slant of three-thirds is set for the pachinko gaming machine P.
