Description

[0001]
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a housing of a slot machine in which various devices are housed and a front door is attached to the front side.
[0002]
[Prior art]
Conventionally, slot machine housings are generally made of wood plywood. As a special example, there is one made of a synthetic resin plate (for example, Patent Document 1).
[0003]
[Patent Document 1]
Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2000-70541
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
In the case of a case made of wood plywood, generally, fixing screws for attaching various devices housed in the case to the case are directly screwed into the case. For this reason, the trace which screwed the fixing screw remained in the housing | casing after removing equipment, and it was difficult to reuse. In addition, the case made of wood plywood is easily scratched and soiled, which makes it difficult to reuse. In order to facilitate reuse of the housing, it is conceivable that a hole for inserting the fixing screw and a nut for screwing the fixing screw are provided in the housing in advance. Another problem arises in that it is not possible to cope with different shapes and mounting positions.
[0005]
The “outer casing” (casing) made of synthetic resin described in Patent Document 1 has a recess formed on the inner surface of the “face plate”, and a plurality of small holes to which screws can be attached are provided in the recess. The “mounting piece” is fitted, and the screws for fixing the devices are screwed into the small holes of the mounting piece. With this configuration, no screw marks remain in the “outer casing” itself, so that the “outer casing” can be reused, and screws are screwed in according to the shape and mounting position of the equipment to be attached. By selecting a small hole, it is possible to support different models. However, although it is thought that the mounting piece is fixed to the recess with an adhesive (there is no description of the fixing method), when reusing, the adhesive must be removed and the mounting piece must be removed. It seems to be a problem in terms of efficiency and efficiency. Moreover, since the strength of the thin concave portion is insufficient, it seems that the concave portion may be damaged by an external force.
[0006]
The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and it is an object of the present invention to provide a slot machine housing that can be easily reused.
[0007]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
In order to solve the above problems, the present invention has the following configuration. That is, the case of the slot machine according to the present invention is a case of a slot machine in which various devices are housed and a front door is attached to the front side, and is attached to a frame of a predetermined shape and its outer surface. The frame body is formed with a number of through holes for inserting fixing screws for fixing the devices, and the through holes for inserting the fixing screws are selected according to the devices. It is characterized by the fact that it is fixed. With this configuration, when the surface portion is scratched or soiled, it can be restored to a new state simply by replacing the exterior material. In addition, by selecting a through-hole through which the fixing screw is inserted according to the shape of the equipment to be fixed and the mounting position, it is possible to cope with different models.
[0008]
In addition, if a recess is formed on the outer surface side of the frame body so that a nut to which a fixing screw inserted from the inner surface side through the through hole is screwed is fixed, the nut is fixed to the frame body in advance. There is an advantage that the fixing screw can be screwed onto the nut without any trouble, and the operation of removing the nut at the time of disassembly is simple.
[0009]
In order to manufacture the casing having the above configuration, the frame is preferably made of a synthetic resin. By making the frame made of synthetic resin, it can also be used as a forest protection measure.
[0010]
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
Hereinafter, typical embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is an exploded view of a casing. The casing 1 includes a box-shaped frame 2 that opens to the front surface side, and an exterior material that is attached to the upper surface, left and right side surfaces, and the rear surface of the frame body 2. It consists of 3,4,5,6. The frame body 2 is made of a synthetic resin and is molded into a predetermined shape by cast molding or the like. Each of the exterior members 3, 4, 5, and 6 is a plate-like or seal-like member, and a synthetic resin, iron, aluminum, wood, or the like can be used as the material.
[0011]
The frame 2 has an opening 10 for attaching the equipment to be accommodated, cooling, cable routing and the like, and a through hole 11 for inserting a fixing screw for fixing the equipment and the front door. Is formed. A large number of through holes 11,... Are arranged with their positions shifted little by little. The shape of the equipment, the front door, and the mounting position differ slightly depending on the model, but are roughly the same, so the through holes 11,... Need only be arranged in a limited range. In addition, the code | symbol 12 is a hole for putting a hand at the time of conveyance.
[0012]
As shown in the enlarged view of FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, a recess 14 for fitting a nut 13 is formed on the outer surface side of the through hole 11. The recess 14 has a hexagonal shape slightly larger than the nut 13 and holds the fitted nut 13 in a non-rotatable manner.
[0013]
When assembling the slot machine, the devices 15 are fixed to the frame 2 with fixing screws 16 as shown in FIG. As for the fixing method, an appropriate through hole 11 is selected according to the shape and mounting position of the equipment 15, and a nut 13 is fitted into the concave portion 14 of the through hole 11, and then the inner surface of the frame body 2 is passed through. A fixing screw 16 is inserted into the hole 11, and its tip is screwed onto the nut 13. Since the nut 13 is held in the recess 14 so as not to rotate, it is easy to screw the fixing screw 16 to the nut 13. Then, the exterior materials 3, 4, 5, and 6 are attached to the front surface side of the frame body 2 with an adhesive or the like to complete the housing 1. Thereafter, the front door 17 is attached to the housing 1 and wiring is further performed, thereby completing the assembly (see FIG. 3).
[0014]
When disassembling the slot machine, the slot machine is disassembled in the reverse order of assembly, and the reusable one is regenerated. The casing 1 is reused by attaching new exterior materials 3, 4, 5, and 6 to the frame 2. When the surface of the housing 2 is scratched or dirty during use as a slot machine, the exterior materials 3, 4, 5, and 6 can be replaced. Since the frame 2 is provided with a large number of through-holes 11 that are shifted little by little, it is possible to deal with other models having different shapes and mounting positions of the equipment 15 when reused. Further, since the nut 13 is only fitted in the recess 14, the nut 13 can be easily removed when the frame body 2 is crushed.
[0015]
【The invention's effect】
As described above, the housing of the slot machine according to the present invention can be restored in the same manner as a new one by replacing the exterior material when the surface portion is scratched or dirty, and there are many through holes. By selecting an appropriate one and inserting a fixing screw, it is possible to cope with differences in the shape and mounting position of the equipment to be fixed, so it is not only reusable but also diverted to different models It is possible and the production cost can be reduced.
[0016]
In addition, by forming a recess that holds the nut in a non-rotatable manner on the outer surface side of the frame body, the fixing screw can be easily attached and detached, and the workability during assembly and disassembly can be improved.
[0017]
Further, by making the frame body from a synthetic resin, it becomes easy to manufacture the housing and is preferable from the viewpoint of forest protection.
