Description

The present invention relates to a pachinko gaming machine and a slot machine gaming machine key mechanism, and the front door frame is tilted in a complicated manner and is rotated around one of the left and right parts of the front decorative door formed so as to change at a predetermined rate. The present invention relates to a locking mechanism that responds to possible security problems and a gaming machine that enables locking that is robust and emphasizes safety.

  In recent years, the pachinko machines and slot machines have become more and more secure and robust key lock mechanisms have been screamed in the context of security issues, with the increasing complexity and playability of game machines. And in slot machines, the key for pachinko machines is generally easily removed from the outside. The situation is that it is still inadequate for the various problems that are caused by the use of a vertically long mechanism called a vertically long key rod that is completely tightened with a cylinder lock.

A front door frame represented by a gaming machine pachinko is attached so as to be openable and closable, the front door frame is locked in a closed state by a locking mechanism, and attached to a left upper portion of the outer frame main body by a hinge. On the other side edge, a locking mechanism is anchored to the front door frame with a hook-shaped member called a vertically long key rod, and a locked member is attached to the outer frame at a position corresponding to this hook. . When the front door frame 30 is pushed in, the hook rotates so as to get over the locked member, and then engaged with the locked member.
Further, in the case of a vertically long key rod, the link member is rotated to a predetermined place and engaged with the main body frame 40.
Although a more robust key lock mechanism has been screamed in relation to security issues, the space in the width direction of the base of the gaming machine is limited and there is a limit to its robustness. And it is the limit situation to make it safe.

  In the current key mechanism, the vertically long mechanism is the mainstream called the above-mentioned key bowl, but each company has three dimensions, and the steel plate has a thickness of about 1.2 mm. It is not always a welcome mechanism from the viewpoint of Recycle and Reuse because it cannot affect the link mechanism and slide mechanism, which involves deformation with a weak mechanism, and exerts its full function.

In addition, since cylinder locks are often forced to be replaced on the way in combination with the safety problems of each hole, the mounting portions are generally formed with the same dimensions. In this way, the external dimensions of the cylinder lock are standardized by each company, and if there is no safety problem, it is reusable in each hole and there is no problem, but in the main body of the key mechanism, it is actually not that level yet, but 乍, 3R In other words, although the manufacturers are promoting early implementation of Reduse, Reuse, and Recycle, the reality is that they will not progress slowly.

In view of the advantages of both, the present invention is intended to spur the future of environmentally friendly 3R from a completely different perspective than the conventional ones for solving these specific matters. In addition, the strength of the steel plate is increased by about twice as much as the conventional vertical key, and it is robust and compact. In the case of assembling with this technique, the size in the lateral direction is limited to the game board inside the pachinko machine in terms of strength, and the strength is certainly limited, so further development could not be expected.

  Incidentally, pachinko machines and slot machines that are currently distributed are configured with a front door and an outer frame (main body), but there is a gap between the front door 30 and the outer frame 40. There is a case where a protruding piece-like member is illegally intruded through this gap from the gap and is illegally unlocked. There was also a cover to protect from the back of the gaming machine, but this is to prevent unauthorized operation from the next base when the base is removed from the island, from the gap in the front door frame. It was not possible to deal with unauthorized release from the outside with a piece-like member.

However, the outer frame of each company is generally rectangular, and its outer dimensions are determined. Since the margin in the width direction with the key lock mechanism affects the gaming area of the table, the size cannot be increased. It was difficult to expand a few millimeters, and it was not possible to make a game board (game board) with significantly free dimensions. However, there is a limit to the arrangement of various rotating objects or fixed objects within the limited game board area, and it is not possible to make it robust.
Ruggedly compact and more compact than a single body, the steel plate thickness is further doubled, and it is safe and thin in the width direction. Can be expected greatly as a solution to the board taste.

In view of the circumstances as described above, the present invention makes it possible to mount a robust and safe key lock mechanism by a mechanism that enlarges a game board and solves a safety problem related to a security problem. Can provide no key mechanism.

In the present invention, since it is made of a steel plate and unitized to reduce the number of parts, it is easy to mount and can be manufactured at low cost. It is also a key lock mechanism that greatly improves safety.
If this mechanism is standardized by each company and can be reused, it can be expected to lead to further industry development.

As a means for achieving the above-mentioned object of the gaming machine according to the present invention, in the key mechanism main body 10 of claim 1, the base bracket 11, the hook bracket 12, and the lock bracket 13 are provided for space saving and compactness. Each of the hook brackets 12 and the lock bracket 13 facing the hook bracket 12 and the lock bracket 13 has hook holes 12a and 13a, respectively, so that the pull springs 15 face each other. In this state, the hook bracket 12 and the lock bracket 13 can be easily rotated and can be locked safely and easily.
Further, when the feed cam 16 for creating a linear motion for rotating the lock bracket 13 is rotated to the left and right, the slide bracket 14 that converts to the linear motion is pivotally attached by a caulking pin 19 to facilitate the linear motion. It is like.
In other words, the locking mechanism has a structure in which the connecting portion 12a of the hook bracket 12 is moved by the protruding portion of the slide bracket 14a to release the lock, and is configured as a single body and is excellent in safety.
Further, the base bracket 11 is laid so that the lock shaft 25a can easily enter the fixed bracket 25. The fixed bracket 25 attached to the gaming machine main body 40 in the form of facing the entrance 11a can be attached to the gaming machine main body with screws or the like so that it can be securely attached to the gaming machine main body. It has been laid for convenient positioning because it has the necessary slide adjustment mounting holes.

A lock shaft 25a is fixed to the fixed bracket 25 according to claim 4, but a film 20b of urethane rubber or synthetic resin is formed on the outer periphery of the lock shaft 25a by means such as injection molding. The lock bracket 13 and the hook bracket 12 are firmly inserted into the clamp portion, and the lock and the hook bracket 12 are firmly molded for the purpose of avoiding an impact and an impact sound when inserted, and can be mounted as this key lock mechanism. .

In addition, the lock shaft 20 can be used as a single metal shaft so that the lock bracket 20 can be pivoted, fitted, and penetrated easily.
Also, since the protrusion of the manual unlocking lever 12a faces the protrusion 14a of the slide bracket 14, the rotation of the cylinder lock 20a is held as much as possible, so that the other of the key 20a is rotated. A cam 26 is associated with the rotary shaft 25c and is fixed to the rotary shaft with screws or the like. By rotating the cam 26, the rotary motion is switched to a linear motion, and the hook bracket 12 is moved and disengaged from the groove 13c of the lock bracket 13 to facilitate unlocking.

As described above, the present invention is a compact and robust key mechanism that can prevent unauthorized unlocking from the outside, a compact and pachinko gaming machine with a key structure that can use an effective space. It can be used for all slot machines.
In addition, the main members are greatly reduced, the assembly is simple, the high assembly accuracy is maintained, and the number of parts is reduced, so that it is possible to obtain an apparatus capable of reducing the assembly man-hours.
In addition, since the space-saving space-saving type is compact, the game performance of the game board is effectively improved, and at the same time, the size of the liquid crystal screen is increased.

This is a conventional key bowl with a vertical length of about 500mm, and in the width direction, the effective width is 18mm to 25mm. By forming a single unit with a thickness in the width direction of about 8mm to 12mm and making it an integrated structure, it is robust and smaller than the size of the palm without compromising the strength of the continuous ring part, compact (length 90mm x height 80mm x thickness 10mm) and others An unprecedented compact key mechanism body has been realized.

Embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
This type of key can be installed in both pachinko machines and slot machines that have security problems, but it is particularly effective for slot machines as well. FIG. 10 is a general view of the present invention. In the overall view of the present invention, the hook bracket 12 and the base bracket 11 are in the open state so that the clamp shaft 25a of the fixed bracket 25 can easily enter in the open lever state, that is, before the clamp shaft is not inserted.
