Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a gaming machine, and more particularly to a gaming machine provided with a detection means capable of detecting an open / closed state when a gaming table is opened / closed with respect to a support frame.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In a pachinko machine, which is a type of gaming machine, for example, when a pachinko machine main body as a gaming machine is opened, the management room informs whether the pachinko machine is opened and records the time. This may be opened on the side of the hall for maintenance and inspection of the device, but this is mainly done from the viewpoint of preventing fraud on the side of the player. Some players do cheating. For example, the nail is adjusted so that it can be easily inserted, or the door frame or the like is opened to make the ball safe. However, in a larger case, the pachinko machine body may be opened in order to replace the ROM in the control mechanism (so-called illegal use of the back ROM). Therefore, a detection device such as a limit switch for detecting the opening of the pachinko machine body is provided between the outer frame as the support frame and the pachinko machine body.

[0003]

Generally, the main body of a pachinko machine is cantilevered with respect to the outer frame by a pivotal support shaft so that it can be opened and closed, and is mounted so as to rub against the inner peripheral surface of the outer frame in a closed state. It Therefore, in order to detect the opening of the pachinko machine body, a limit switch is attached to the pachinko machine body side, for example, as a detection means at the adjacent part where the pachinko machine body and the outer frame rub against each other, and the contact plate for the input lever to abut. Etc. are attached to the outer frame. There is a possibility that a person who commits fraudulent operation may push the limit switch lever with a finger or the like through a gap when opening the pachinko machine body slightly when opening it, so that the limit switch is not input. In particular, if the limit switch is arranged at a position close to the front of the player or at a position where the pachinko machine main body is separated from the pivot shaft so as to project to the front, it is easy to perform such fraud. The present invention has been made by paying attention to the problems existing in such conventional techniques. The object of the invention is to provide a gaming machine in which it is difficult to illegally operate the detecting means arranged between the gaming table and the support frame.

[0004]

In order to achieve the above object, in the invention according to claim 1, at least the support frame and the player supported so as to be openable and closable with respect to the support frame face each other. In a gaming machine provided with a gaming table on which a gaming surface for playing a game is formed, with the gaming table closed to the support frame, the gaming table and the end surface of the gaming table on the opening / closing spindle side are normal. Detecting means for detecting an open / closed state of the gaming table with respect to the supporting frame body is arranged between the inner surface of the supporting frame body and the supporting frame body, and the detecting means is provided on the end surface of the gaming table and has flexibility. The main point is that it is attached to the mounting frame. The gist of the invention described in claim 2 is that, in addition to the configuration of the invention described in claim 1, the mounting frame is formed on the side of the input / output base. The gist of the invention according to claim 3 is that, in addition to the configuration of the invention according to claim 1 or 2, the detecting means is mounted via a case that can be swung. With such a configuration, when the game table is gradually opened from the closed state with respect to the support frame, a gap is created between the game table and the support frame, but the opening and closing spindle side end surface and this are Since the inner surface of the support frame facing the inside is the rotation center side, the gap between the support frame and the game table does not become large like the position separated from the rotation center even when the game table is opened. Further, as the gaming table is opened, the gaming table gradually projects toward the player side, but the end surface side closer to the opening / closing support shaft is arranged relatively to the player side as seen from the player side.

[0005]

According to the invention described in claim 1, since the opening does not become large even when the game table is opened on the inner surface side of the support frame where the end surface facing the opening / closing support shaft and the same end surface face each other, this gap It becomes difficult to perform an illegal operation of operating the detection means with a finger or the like. Further, as the gaming table is opened, the gaming table gradually projects to the player side, and this gaming table becomes an obstacle, and it becomes difficult to perform an illegal operation on the end surface on the rotation center side and the inner surface side of the support frame.

An operation handle 39 is attached to the right side of 8.

Next, the structure of the limit switch 30 and the periphery of the limit switch 30 will be described in detail. As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, a mounting frame 41 is formed on the right side of the input / output board 34 that constitutes a part of the right end surface 4a. A mounting plate 43 is formed on the mounting frame 41 in a substantially trapezoidal shape and projects rightward. The case 45 and the limit switch 30 are mounted on the mounting plate 43. As shown in FIG. 4, case 4
5 is a mounting hole 4 in which a fixing screw 46 is arranged at a lower position.
It is rotatably attached to the attachment plate 43 through the 5a. A long hole 47 is formed above the fixing screw 46. A regulation screw 48 protruding from the mounting plate 43 is arranged in the long hole 47 to regulate the rotation of the case 45. As a result, the case 45 has the fixing screw 4
It is possible to swing around 6 as a rotation center. 5 and 6
As shown in FIGS. 6A and 6B, a first storage portion 49 opened leftward is formed between the fixing screw 46 and the long hole 47. The leaf spring 50 is stored in the first storage portion 49. A second storage portion 51 is formed on the right side of the first storage portion 49. The second storage portion 51 is opened to the right, and the limit switch 30 is stored in the second storage portion 51. The limit switch 30 is the second
It has a main body 30a fixed in the storage part 51 and a lever 30b as a detection part. The lever 30b projects slightly to the right from the second storage portion 51.

As shown in FIG. 4, the leaf spring 50 urges the case 45 clockwise (to the right) against the urging plate 52 projecting to the left of the mounting plate 43. As shown in FIG. 6 (b), the case 45 is slightly inclined to the right in the biased state. On the other hand, when the pachinko machine main body 4 is housed in the outer frame 1 as shown in FIG.
As shown in FIG. 5, the left side frame plate 1d is pushed by the inner surface of the left side frame plate 1d, the lever 30b is pushed, and the limit switch 30 and the case 45 counterclockwise against the biasing force of the leaf spring 50. Rotate in the rotating direction (left).

The operation of the pachinko machine according to the first embodiment having such a configuration will be described. In a state where the pachinko machine body 4 is mounted on the outer frame (closed state, that is, a normal playable state), as shown in FIGS. 2 and 6A, the limit switch 30 and the case 45 are the leaf springs 50. Counterclockwise (left) position against the urging force of.
At this time, the lever 30b is in a state of being pushed toward the main body 30a. In the present embodiment, this lever 30b
The state in which is pushed in the direction of the main body 30a is a non-detection state in which the limit switch 30 is not input. Here, if the pachinko machine body 4 is opened around the pivot shaft 6a of the hinge fitting 6 (as shown in FIG. 1), the limit switch 30 is released because the inner surface of the left frame plate 1d is not pressed against the case 45. Is the case 5 and leaf spring 5
By the urging force of the case 45 of 0, it is rotated in the clockwise direction (rightward) to be in the state shown in FIG. 6B. At the same time, the lever 30b rises and the limit switch 30 is input to detect that the door frame 15 has been opened. When the pachinko machine body 4 is gradually opened, the pachinko machine body 4 in the cantilever state protrudes from the notch 28 side to the player side, but the limit switch 30 causes the pachinko machine body 4 to move.
Since it faces the right end surface 4a of the hinge metal fitting 6 and is arranged around the pivot shaft 6a of the hinge metal fitting 6, the pachinko machine body 4 is opened so that it is directed backwards, which makes it extremely difficult for the player to see it, and it is illegal. It will retreat to a position where it is difficult to do.

With this structure, the first embodiment has the following effects. (1) Even if the pachinko machine main body 4 is opened with respect to the outer frame 1, the position of the limit switch 30 is on the rotary shaft 6a side of the right end surface 4a of the pachinko machine main body 4 and the pachinko machine main body 4 is opened. However, since the gap does not become so large, it is very difficult for a person who plans an illegal game to touch the limit switch 30. Also, since the notch 28 side of the pachinko machine body 4 projects forward as the pachinko machine body 4 opens, this becomes an obstacle and the right end surface 4a rotates in reverse and hides behind It's hard to do. (2) Since the lever 30b of the limit switch 30 directly abuts the inner surface of the left frame plate 1d, a separate member such as an abutting plate for turning the lever 30b on and off is not required, which contributes to cost reduction. (3) Case 4 housing the limit switch 30
5 is rocked to the left and right by the pushing force of the inner surface of the left frame plate 1d and the urging force of the leaf spring 50. That is, since the case 45 is not fixed and there is latitude in adjusting the position where the limit switch 30 is arranged, the limit switch 3
The work of arranging 0s does not need so much skill. (4) Since the mounting frame 41 itself has the flexibility of slightly bending to the left and right, the load is less likely to be applied to the limit switch 30 together with the case 45 swinging. (5) Since the limit switch 30 is on the pachinko machine body 4 side, it can be wired directly from the input / output board 34, and since it is disposed adjacent to the input / output board 34, the power supply to the limit switch 30 is increased. Supply can be realized easily and inexpensively. (6) With the pachinko machine body 4 mounted on the outer frame 1 as shown in FIG. 6B, the regulating screw 48 is located near the center of the elongated hole 47, and the case 45 swings to the left. Have some margin to do. Therefore, the limit switch 30 is not overloaded more than the urging force of the leaf spring 50, and a failure due to the overload of the limit switch 30 is unlikely to occur. (7) Since the limit switch 30 is housed in the case 45, it is unlikely to cause a problem that the pachinko machine collides with the pachinko machine and is damaged during transportation and installation work.

The present invention can be modified and embodied as follows. As illustrated in FIGS. 7A and 7B, the limit switch 30 may be directly mounted on the mounting plate 43 formed on the mounting frame 41 without the case 45. In this embodiment, the lever 30b of the limit switch 30 does not directly contact the inner surface of the left frame plate 1d but is pushed by the intermediate lever 55. The intermediate lever 55 is a member made of synthetic resin, is rotatably supported by the rotating shaft 54, and the lever main body 55a is formed in a dogleg shape by bulging outward rightward. The intermediate lever 55 is configured to contact the inner surface of the left frame plate 1d at the bent portion apex 55b of the lever body 55a. The left frame plate 1 is provided at the bent portion apex 55b.
When the inner surface of d contacts, the tip of the lever body 55a pushes the lever 30b of the limit switch 30. At this time, since the lever main body 55a is bent, the inner surface of the left frame plate 1d comes into contact with the lever main body 55a, so that the lever main body 55a is slightly bent to reduce the load on the limit switch 30. As illustrated in FIGS. 8A and 8B, the limit switch 30 may be directly mounted on the mounting plate 43 formed on the mounting frame 41 without the case 45. In this embodiment, the lever for turning on / off the limit switch 30 is omitted, and the intermediate lever 57 also serves as the lever. The intermediate lever 57 is a member made of synthetic resin and is rotatably supported by a rotation shaft 54. The lever main body 57a of the intermediate lever 57 is divided into two forks, and includes an outer short leg 58 and an inner long leg 59. The short leg 58 is formed in a curved shape, and is configured to come into contact with the inner surface of the left frame plate 1d at the curved portion vertex 58a. The long leg 59 functions as an input lever of the limit switch 30. Curved portion apex 58a of the short leg 58
When the inner surface of the left frame plate 1d comes into contact with the long leg 59, the long leg 59 pushes the on / off button 30c of the limit switch 30. At this time, since the short leg 58 is curved, the inner surface of the left frame plate 1d comes into contact with the short leg 58 to slightly bend and reduce the load on the limit switch 30. As shown in FIGS. 9A and 9B, the limit switch 30 may be directly mounted on the mounting plate 43 formed on the mounting frame 41 without the case 45. In this embodiment, the limit switch 30
The lever 60 has a tip bent in the middle, and an extending portion 60a extending obliquely upward is formed. Extension 60
When the inner surface of the left frame plate 1d contacts a, the integrally formed lever 59 is pushed. At this time, since the extending portion 60a of the lever 60 is bent, the inner surface of the left frame plate 1d comes into contact with the lever 60 to slightly bend and reduce the load on the limit switch 30.

As shown in FIGS. 10 (a) and 10 (b), the limit switch 30 may be directly mounted on the mounting plate 43 formed on the mounting frame 41 without the case 45. In this embodiment, the limit switch 30 is rotatably suspended and supported by a support shaft 61. The limit switch 30 includes a coil spring 62 mounted on a pin 63 protruding from the mounting plate 43.
Is always biased in the counterclockwise direction (outward direction), and is held slightly obliquely in the open state of the pachinko machine body 4. The left frame plate 1 is attached to the lever 30b of the limit switch 30.
The inner surface of d contacts and pushes. The lever 30b is the main body 30
When the inner surface of the left frame plate 1d is further pressed while being pressed in the a direction, the limit switch 30 itself rotates in the clockwise direction (inward) against the biasing force of the coil spring 62 and moves. In this way, when the inner surface of the left frame plate 1d abuts, the limit switch 30 itself swings, so that the load on the limit switch 30 is reduced. As shown in FIGS. 11A and 11B, the limit switch 30 may be directly mounted on the mounting plate 43 formed on the mounting frame 41 without the case 45. In this embodiment, the limit switch 30 is rotatably suspended and supported by a support shaft 65.
The position of the support shaft 65 is slightly displaced to the outside of the limit switch 30.
Is inclined. In this embodiment, the limit switch 3
The lever 66 of 0 is inside, that is, the mounting frame 41
It is placed facing the side. The lever 66 has a tip bent in the middle, and an extension portion 66a extending obliquely upward is formed. When the inner surface of the left frame plate 1d comes into contact with the limit switch 30, the extension portion 6 of the lever 66 formed integrally
When the pachinko machine body 4 is mounted on the outer frame 1, the lever 66 is pressed by the limit switch 30 as the tip of the 6a is gradually pressed against the mounting frame 41. In this way, when the inner surface of the left frame plate 1d abuts, the limit switch 30 itself swings, so that the load on the limit switch 30 is reduced. In each of the above-described embodiments, the limit switch 30 side comes into direct contact with the inner surface of the left frame plate 1d, but the inner surface of the left frame plate 1d is provided with another member such as a contact plate. Good. In each of the above embodiments, the limit switch 30 is mounted on the mounting frame 41 of the input / output board 34, but the right end surface 4a can be freely arranged in a vertically displaced position. The limit switch 30 may be arranged on the inner surface side of the left frame plate 1d. -Detection means other than the limit switch 30 may be used.

As shown in FIGS. 12 and 13, the present invention may be applied to a slot machine. The slot machine 71 of the present embodiment is a model in which a reel device 73 is mounted on the back surface of a front door 72 as a game table. The front door 72 rotates about a rotation shaft 75 with respect to an outer frame 74 as a support frame. A game surface 76 is formed on the front surface of the front door 72. For example, the limit switch 30 shown in FIG. 10 is provided on the side of the reel device 73 which is the end surface. In the state where the front door 72 closes the front surface of the outer frame 74,
The inner surface 74a of the outer frame 74 on the rotating shaft 75 side contacts an input lever (not shown) of the limit switch 30. When the front door 72 is opened, the limit switch 3 on the inner surface 74a of the outer frame 74
The pressure on 0 is released. With this configuration, (1) Since the limit switch 30 is disposed on the rotation shaft 75 side, the gap does not become so large even if the outer frame 74 is opened. It becomes very difficult to touch the switch 30. Further, as the outer frame 74 is opened, the front door 72 projects forward, which becomes an obstacle, and the limit switch 30 side (right end surface) rotates in reverse and hides behind. Hateful. (2) The lever of the limit switch 30 is a rotary shaft 75 directly.
Since it comes into contact with the inner surface 74a of the outer frame 74, a separate member such as a contact plate for cutting the lever is not required, which contributes to cost reduction. (3) Similar to the above, since the limit switch 30 itself swings, the load on the limit switch 30 is reduced. In addition, each limit switch 30 of FIGS. 6 to 11 can be applied to the slot machine 71. In addition to the leaf spring 50 and the coil spring 62 as a cushioning member, a sponge having a strong restoring force may be used. Further, another member such as a contact plate may be interposed on the inner surface 74a. In the slot machine 71, the limit switch 30 is mounted on the side surface (end surface) of the reel device 73. However, in the slot machine 71 of the type in which the reel device 73 is located on the outer frame 74 side, the mounting plate is fixed to the back surface of the front door 72, and the limit switch 30 is mounted by using this mounting plate as the end surface of the front door 72.
