Description

[0001]
TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to an outer frame having a function of preventing a pachinko machine from tipping over.
[0002]
[Prior art]
Pachinko machines are sometimes kept upright from the manufacturing stage until they are installed in pachinko halls after shipment, and sometimes fall down due to sudden contact with something. . However, conventional pachinko machines have not been designed to prevent such a fall.
[0003]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
When parts of the pachinko machine are damaged due to the fall of the pachinko machine, the parts have to be replaced, and sometimes the pachinko machine itself is broken. To prevent the pachinko machine from tipping over, it is conceivable to increase the width of the outer frame in the depth direction. However, if the depth width is large, the pachinko machine cannot be installed on the island of the pachinko hall.
[0004]
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION It is an object of the present invention to provide an outer frame of a pachinko machine provided with a fall prevention leg that can be compactly stored when not in use.
[0005]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
In order to achieve the above object, the invention described in claim 1 is an outer frame of a pachinko machine provided in a vertically long rectangular shape by combining a bottom plate, left and right side plates and a top plate, wherein the front side and the rear side of the bottom plate are provided. Notches are formed on the sides of the pachinko machine, and the fall prevention legs, which are pivotally supported by the bottom plate and are rotatable in the lateral direction, can be stored in each notch when not in use, and the pachinko machine falls over It is characterized in that it is configured to be able to rotate to a predetermined position when it is used to prevent the above.
[0006]
In order to achieve the same object, the invention described in claim 2 is the outer frame of the pachinko machine according to claim 1, wherein the cutouts are formed at left and right positions of the bottom plate, and the fall prevention leg piece is provided. The pachinko machine is provided so as to be able to be stored in each notch when not in use, and can be rotated to a predetermined position when used to prevent the pachinko machine from tipping over.
[0007]
According to a third aspect of the present invention, there is provided a pachinko machine according to the first or second aspect, wherein the fall prevention leg is rotatably supported in a lateral direction. Are fixed to the bottom plate.
[0008]
Function and effect of the present invention
(Invention of claim 1)
The fall prevention leg of the outer frame is rotatable from a position stored in the cutout of the bottom plate to a predetermined position. Thus, the outer frame can prevent the pachinko machine that is placed upright from falling over in a use state in which the fall prevention leg is rotated to a predetermined position. In addition, when the fall prevention leg is not used, it can be stored in the cutout to make it compact, so that there is no hindrance to packing at the time of shipment and installation in a pachinko hall.
[0009]
(Invention of claim 2)
The fall prevention leg pieces of the outer frame are provided on the front, rear, left and right sides of the bottom plate, respectively, and are rotatable from a position stored in each notch to a predetermined position. Thus, the outer frame can more reliably prevent the pachinko machine that is placed upright from falling down in a use state in which the fall prevention leg pieces are rotated to a predetermined position.
[0010]
(Invention of claim 3)
Since the outer frame has a simple configuration in which a mounting plate rotatably supporting the fall prevention leg is rotatably fixed to the bottom plate of the outer frame, the assembling operation is easy, and the outer frame can be manufactured at low cost.
[0011]

Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. 1 is a front view of the outer frame, FIG. 2 is an exploded perspective view of the outer frame, FIG. 3 is a perspective view showing a bottom plate and a fall prevention leg piece unit separated, and FIG. 4 is an exploded view of the fall prevention leg piece unit. FIG. 5 is an explanatory view showing a non-use state in which a fall prevention leg piece is stored in a notch, and FIG. 6 is a use state in which the fall prevention leg piece is rotated outward. FIG. 7 is a perspective view showing a bottom plate and a fall prevention leg piece unit in which a cutout portion is formed in another shape, and FIG. 8 is a perspective view showing when the fall prevention leg piece shown in FIG. 7 is used and not used. It is explanatory drawing which shows the state at the time.
[0012]
FIG. 1 shows an outer frame 1 of a pachinko machine. As shown in FIG. 2, the outer frame 1 includes a bottom plate 10, left and right side plates 20 and 25, a top plate 30, and a curtain plate 35, and is formed at the side ends of the bottom plate 10 and the top plate 30, respectively. The tenons 21 and 26 formed at the end portions of the side plates 20 and 25 are fitted into the tenon grooves 11 and 31, respectively, assembled, and then tightened and fixed with screws (not shown) to form a vertically long rectangular shape. Reference numeral 36 denotes a reinforcing bracket, and reference numerals 37 and 38 denote supporting brackets for opening and closing a known frame member (not shown).
[0013]
In the bottom plate 10, cutouts 12 each having a size corresponding to the size of the tipping prevention leg piece are formed at left and right positions on the front side 10a and the rear side 10b (FIG. 3).
[0014]
In FIGS. 3 and 4, reference numeral 50 denotes a pair of right and left overturn prevention leg piece units. The leg piece unit 50 is provided with a strip-shaped mounting plate 52 having a fixing hole 53 formed on the upper surface of an elongated rectangular-shaped tipping prevention leg piece 51, 51, and screws 55, 55 provided on both sides. , And nuts 56, 56 are screwed onto the respective screws 55, 55, so that the leg pieces 51, 51 are rotatably supported in the lateral direction.
[0015]
As shown in FIG. 2, the fall prevention leg piece unit 50 is attached to the upper surface of the left or right end by tightening and fixing each of the attachment plates 52 with screws 57. Each of the fall prevention leg pieces 51 is provided so as to be housed in each of the notches 12 of the bottom plate 10, and is provided so as to be able to rotate to an angular position of about 90 °.
[0016]
As shown in FIG. 7, the notch 12 of the bottom plate 10 may be provided in a horizontally long notch 12a. For other configurations, the above-mentioned fall prevention leg piece unit 50 is applied as it is.
[0017]
Next, how to handle the “outer frame 1 of the pachinko machine” of the present invention having the above configuration will be described.
As shown in FIG. 5, the outer frame 1 can be compact by storing the tipping prevention leg piece 51 in the cutout 12 provided in the bottom plate 10 when not in use, so that the pachinko machine is packed at the time of shipping. It does not hinder installation in pachinko halls. In use, as shown in FIG. 6, the fall prevention leg 51 is rotated to an angle position of about 90 ° with the pachinko machine standing. Thus, when something comes in contact with the pachinko machine placed upright from the manufacturing stage until it is installed in the pachinko hall, it is possible to prevent the pachinko machine from falling over.
[0018]
As described above, the pachinko machine's outer frame can be compactly stored when not in use, and has a fall prevention leg that can be deployed outward when in use. This has the advantage that it is possible to prevent overturning.
