本発明は、スロットマシンに関する。[0001]
[Technical field to which the invention belongs]
The present invention relates to a slot machine.

【０００３】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
しかしながら、従来のスロットマシンは、不正阻止部材が、本体枠に、該本体枠より前方に突出した状態で設けられているので、例えば本体枠下部上面の開口側にメダルが載った状態で前扉を閉じようとする場合には、前扉と不正阻止部材の下側部分との間にメダルが挟まって前扉が閉じなかったり、或いは完全には閉じないで半開き状態のままとなったりする。仮に、半開き状態のままとなった場合には、前扉と本体枠の間隔が比較的大きくなるので、不正行為が行われる可能性を増大させてしまう。 0003
[Problems to be Solved by the Invention]
However, in the conventional slot machine, since the fraud prevention member is provided on the main body frame in a state of protruding forward from the main body frame, for example, the front door is in a state where the medal is placed on the opening side of the upper surface of the lower portion of the main body frame. When trying to close the front door, a medal is caught between the front door and the lower portion of the fraud prevention member, and the front door does not close, or the front door does not close completely and remains in a half-open state. If the half-open state remains, the distance between the front door and the main body frame becomes relatively large, which increases the possibility of fraudulent activity .

A lower fraud prevention portion protruding from the lower end of the hanging portion toward the lower front end surface of the main body frame,
Consists of
The distance between the lower surface of the upper fraud prevention portion and the lower upper surface of the main body frame is set to be equal to or larger than the thickness of the medal, and the medal placed on the lower upper surface of the main body frame when the front door is closed is accommodated. It is characterized by being configured as possible .

【０００７】
ここで、メダルとは、スロットマシンの遊技に用いられるメダルのことをいう。 0007
Here, the medal means a medal used for a game of a slot machine.

【０００８】
請求項１記載の発明によれば、本体枠下部上面の開口側にメダルが載った状態で前扉を閉じようとする場合に、該メダルが上側不正阻止部の下面と、本体枠の下部上面との間に横倒し状態で収容されることになり、上側不正阻止部と本体枠との間にメダルが挟まってしまうことなく前扉を完全に閉じることができる。
よって、メダルが前扉と本体枠との間に挟まり難い構成となり、前扉を閉じ易くなり、前扉と本体枠の間隔からの不正物の差し込み等の不正行為を阻止できる。 0008
According to the first aspect of the present invention, when a medal is placed on the opening side of the upper surface of the lower surface of the main body frame and the front door is closed, the medal is placed on the lower surface of the upper fraud prevention portion and the upper surface of the lower surface of the main body frame. The front door can be completely closed without the medal being caught between the upper fraud prevention part and the main body frame.
Therefore, the medal is not easily caught between the front door and the main body frame, the front door can be easily closed, and fraudulent acts such as insertion of an illegal object from the gap between the front door and the main body frame can be prevented.

【０００９】
請求項２記載の発明は、請求項１記載のスロットマシンにおいて、前記本体枠の前面下部には、前記前扉を閉じた状態で前記下側不正阻止部の後端部分が入り込む凹部を形成されていることを特徴としている。 0009
According to the second aspect of the present invention, in the slot machine according to the first aspect, a recess is formed in the lower part of the front surface of the main body frame into which the rear end portion of the lower fraud prevention portion enters with the front door closed. It is characterized by being.

【００１０】
請求項２記載の発明によれば、本体枠の前面下部には、前扉を閉じた状態で下側不正阻止部の後端部分が入り込む凹部を形成しているので、前扉を閉じた状態では、前扉と本体枠の下側の間隔からの不正物の差し込み等をより好適に阻止できる。 0010
According to the second aspect of the present invention, since the lower front portion of the main body frame is formed with a recess in which the rear end portion of the lower fraud prevention portion enters with the front door closed, the front door is closed. Then, it is possible to more preferably prevent the insertion of an illegal object from the distance between the front door and the lower side of the main body frame.

【００１１】
請求項３記載の発明は、請求項１又は２記載のスロットマシンにおいて、前記本体枠は、前面開口部の下辺の内周縁部に沿って金属部材を備え、該金属部材が面取り形状となっていることを特徴としている。 [0011]
According to a third aspect of the present invention, in the slot machine according to the first or second aspect, the main body frame includes a metal member along the inner peripheral edge of the lower side of the front opening, and the metal member has a chamfered shape. It is characterized by being.

【００１２】
請求項３記載の発明によれば、本体枠の前面開口部の下辺の内周縁部に沿って金属部材を備えているので、本体枠下部の剛性を高め、本体枠の強度を高めることができる。
また、この金属部材が面取形状となっているので、前扉を閉じようとする際に、不正阻止部と本体枠の前面開口部の下辺の内周縁部との間にメダルが挟まり難い。例えば、メダルが面取り形状となっている内周縁部に立てかかった状態で前扉を閉じようとする場合に、メダルの上部が不正阻止部により後方に押される一方、該メダルの背面は該内周縁部に沿って斜め下側に摺動して、該メダルの下部が手前側に押し出される。この結果、メダルは本体枠下部の手前側、且つ前扉の下側に逃げるので、スムーズに前扉を閉じることができる。 [0012]
According to the third aspect of the present invention, since the metal member is provided along the inner peripheral edge portion of the lower side of the front opening of the main body frame, the rigidity of the lower portion of the main body frame can be increased and the strength of the main body frame can be increased. ..
Further, since this metal member has a chamfered shape, it is difficult for a medal to be caught between the fraud prevention portion and the inner peripheral edge portion of the lower side of the front opening of the main body frame when trying to close the front door. For example, when trying to close the front door while the medal is leaning against the chamfered inner peripheral edge, the upper part of the medal is pushed backward by the fraud prevention part, while the back surface of the medal is inside the medal. The lower part of the medal is pushed out toward the front side by sliding diagonally downward along the peripheral edge portion. As a result, the medal escapes to the front side of the lower part of the main body frame and to the lower side of the front door, so that the front door can be closed smoothly.

【発明の効果】
請求項１記載の発明によれば、本体枠下部上面の開口側にメダルが載った状態で前扉を閉じようとする場合に、該メダルが上側不正阻止部と本体枠との間に横倒し状態で収容されることになり、上側不正阻止部と本体枠との間にメダルが挟まってしまうことなく前扉を完全に閉じることができる。
よって、メダルが前扉と本体枠との間に挟まり難い構成となり、前扉を閉じ易くなり、前扉と本体枠の間隔からの不正物の差し込み等の不正行為を阻止できる。 [0074]
【The invention's effect】
According to the first aspect of the present invention, when the front door is to be closed with the medal placed on the opening side of the upper surface of the lower portion of the main body frame, the medal is laid down between the upper fraud prevention portion and the main body frame. The front door can be completely closed without the medal being caught between the upper fraud prevention part and the main body frame.
Therefore, the medal is not easily caught between the front door and the main body frame, the front door can be easily closed, and fraudulent acts such as insertion of an illegal object from the gap between the front door and the main body frame can be prevented.

【００７５】
請求項２記載の発明によれば、本体枠の前面下部には、前扉を閉じた状態で下側不正阻止部の後端部分が入り込む凹部を形成しているので、前扉を閉じた状態では、前扉と本体枠の下側の間隔からの不正物の差し込み等をより好適に阻止できる。 [0075]
According to the second aspect of the present invention, since the lower front portion of the main body frame is formed with a recess in which the rear end portion of the lower fraud prevention portion enters with the front door closed, the front door is closed. Then, it is possible to more preferably prevent the insertion of an illegal object from the distance between the front door and the lower side of the main body frame.

【００７６】
請求項３記載の発明によれば、本体枠の前面開口部の下辺の内周縁部に沿って設けられた金属部材が面取り形状となっているので、前扉を閉じようとする際に、不正阻止部と本体枠の前面開口部の下辺の内周縁部との間にメダルが挟まり難い。例えば、メダルが面取り形状となっている内周縁部に立てかかった状態で前扉を閉じようとする場合に、メダルの上部が不正阻止部により後方に押される一方、該メダルの背面は該内周縁部に沿って斜め下側に摺動して、該メダルの下部が手前側に押し出される。この結果、メダルは本体枠下部の手前側、且つ前扉の下側に逃げるので、スムーズに前扉を閉じることができる。また、本体枠は前面開口部の下辺の内周縁部に沿って金属部材を備えているので、本体枠下部の剛性を高め、本体枠の強度を高めることができる。 [0076]
According to the invention of claim 3, since the metal member provided along the inner peripheral edge of the lower side of the front opening of the main body frame has a chamfered shape, it is illegal when trying to close the front door. It is difficult for the medal to be caught between the blocking portion and the inner peripheral edge of the lower side of the front opening of the main body frame. For example, when trying to close the front door while the medal is leaning against the chamfered inner peripheral edge, the upper part of the medal is pushed backward by the fraud prevention part, while the back surface of the medal is inside the medal. The lower part of the medal is pushed out toward the front side by sliding diagonally downward along the peripheral edge portion. As a result, the medal escapes to the front side of the lower part of the main body frame and to the lower side of the front door, so that the front door can be closed smoothly. Further, since the main body frame is provided with a metal member along the inner peripheral edge portion of the lower side of the front opening, the rigidity of the lower portion of the main body frame can be increased and the strength of the main body frame can be increased.
