  The conventional insulation lock constructed as described above can be used very suitably when bundling objects such as lead wires and cables.

However, in the case where the base and the circuit board are bound together in order to prevent fraud in the pachinko machine, the necessary locking protrusions are simply locked into the locking holes while the main body is wound in a loop shape. The circuit board may be illegally replaced by passing through the cable lock, and in this case, the information on the circuit board itself cannot be checked. It cannot be checked. In addition, if the circuit board is illegally replaced by cutting the insulation lock in the bound state and then disguised, the cut insulation lock must be visually checked to check the binding state. Similarly, it is not possible to accurately check fraud.

  An object of the present invention is to provide an insulation lock that can bind a circuit board to a base of a pachinko machine and effectively prevent an illegal replacement action of the circuit board.

  In order to achieve the above object, according to the first aspect of the present invention, a locking hole is formed at one end of a flexible belt-like body having a required width and length. Locking protrusions are formed on the one surface of the main body at predetermined pitches along the longitudinal direction so as to be inserted and locked, and the required locking protrusions are wound while the main body is wrapped around the object to be bound. In an insulok that is configured to be locked in a locking hole and bound together, an antenna wire is enclosed in the main body along the longitudinal direction, and an IC chip that stores necessary information is connected to the antenna wire. In addition, the gist of the present invention is an insulation lock characterized in that the main body is provided with a biting connection fitting so that both ends of the antenna wire can be connected at the time of bundling.

  The insulation lock according to claim 1, wherein the antenna wire is enclosed over substantially the entire length of the main body, and the connection fitting is formed in a substantially W shape so that the both ends of the enclosed antenna wire are connected to the main body. Further, a bar code storing necessary information is stuck on the main body.

  Since the present invention is configured as described above, the base of the pachinko machine and the circuit board are bound together while the main body is bent in a loop shape, and the main body is encased in the connection metal Connect the both ends of the antenna wire to be read, read the information stored in the IC chip to a bar code, IC card reader / writer, etc., and check for illegal circuit board replacement. When IC is disconnected, IC chip information cannot be read by a bar code, IC card reader / writer, etc., and unauthorized circuit board replacement can be checked. Therefore, it is possible to effectively prevent replacement of a circuit board.

The best mode for carrying out the present invention will be described below based on an embodiment shown in the drawings.

  1 to 5 show an embodiment of the present invention, in which 1 is an insulok and 2 is an elastic synthetic resin strip-shaped body having a required width and length constituting the insulk 1. Reference numeral 3 denotes a locking hole formed at one end of the main body 2 via a substantially rectangular body-shaped convex portion 4, and reference numeral 5 denotes a locking claw movably formed in the locking hole 3. 6 is a locking projection formed on the surface of the main body 2 at a predetermined pitch along the longitudinal direction of the main body 2 to be inserted into the locking hole 3 and locked to the locking claw 5, and 7 is wide on the other surface. A bar code pasted through the pasting part 8 of the machine, and the bar code 7 has a template, standard, date of production, product name, ID code, IC of the entire pachinko machine. Information related to the chip verification ID is stored. Reference numeral 9 denotes an antenna wire sealed over almost the entire length of the main body 2, and 10 denotes an IC chip connected to the antenna wire 9. The IC chip 10 includes a reference ID and a number of the circuit board 17, which will be described later. Information such as standard contents is stored. Reference numeral 11 denotes an antenna wire connector attached to the side of the locking hole 3 of the main body 2 to connect both ends of the antenna wire 9, and 12 denotes a substantially upward U-shaped hollow mounting member constituting the connector 11. The mounting member 12 is slidably fitted to the main body 2. 13 is a substantially downward U-shaped actuating member fitted to the mounting member 12 so as to be able to move up and down, 14 is a connection fitting suspended from the lower end of the central portion of the actuation member 13, and the connection fitting 14 is attached to the main body 2. A fitting groove 15 having a required width and depth from the distal end toward the proximal end to be fitted and connected to both end portions of the antenna wire 9 is formed so that the tip portion is sharpened so as to be bitten. It is made into the substantially W shape formed in the notch shape. In addition, 16 is a base | substrate which comprises a pachinko machine (not shown), 17 shows a circuit board, respectively.

  In the embodiment configured as described above, as shown in FIG. 4, the main body 2 is strongly wound around the base body 16 and the circuit board 17 while being bent into a loop shape, and the free end thereof is inserted into the locking hole 3. At the same time, the required locking projections 6 are locked to the locking claws 5, and the base 16 and the circuit board 17 are bound together.

  Next, after superposing the bundled free end and base end of the main body 2, the operating member 13 is lowered from above, and the connection fitting 14 is bitten into the main body 2. Then, the antenna wire 9 sealed in the main body 2 is fitted into the fitting groove 15 in a contact state, and both ends of the antenna wire 9 are conductively connected by the connection fitting 14 (see FIG. 5).

  For example, when checking whether or not the circuit board 17 has been replaced by passing through the binding of the insulation lock 1, the bar code is read by a known bar code / IC card reader / writer (not shown). -The information stored in the memory 7 and the IC chip 10 is read, and the product contents / internal unit information displayed on the circuit board 17 itself is read. Then, it is checked against information stored in advance in the computer, and an illegal replacement of the circuit board 17 is checked.

In addition, when the insulated lock 1 is cut and the circuit board 17 is illegally replaced, and when it is impossible to visually check the suitability by disguising the insulated lock 1, a bar code IC is used as described above. Even when reading is performed with a card reader / dryer, since the antenna wire 9 enclosed in the main body 2 is cut, it is impossible to read the IC chip 10, and consequently, the replacement of the illegal circuit board 17 is surely checked. It can be done.

  In addition, in the said Example, although the main body 2 shall be formed with a synthetic resin material, you may form with the other well-known material which has flexibility. Moreover, although the said Example binds the base | substrate 16 and the circuit board 17 in a pachinko machine, and prevents the illegal replacement | exchange act of the circuit board 17, etc., it is not limited to this, A required Bundled objects can be bound to prevent fraud, such as preventing theft of products, preventing unauthorized removal of installed devices, preventing and managing replacement of authorized devices and boards, and It can also be applied to machine verification management and fraud prevention.
