Description

  The present invention relates to a cabinet box of a gaming machine, and more particularly to a locking device disposed in the vicinity of a front opening of the cabinet box and a configuration of a front opening of the cabinet box.

  As gaming machines configured with cabinet boxes, there are medal gaming machines such as slot machines and poker games. For example, in a slot machine, a cabinet box that includes a cabinet box that has a front opening and is formed in a substantially rectangular box shape, and a front door that covers the cabinet box front opening and can be opened and closed via a hinge mechanism. A game device such as a power supply box, a reel device, a control board, and a medal payout device is arranged in the body. A locking device is provided on one side edge of each of the cabinet box and the front door, and the closed state of the front door is maintained by this locking device for use in the game.

  The locking device of the slot machine is formed in a substantially arrow shape by being unlocked on one side edge of the front door and on the back side of the front door and swinging up and down by the rotation of the unlocking door. A locking hook, a spring for urging and holding the locking hook upward, and one side edge of the cabinet box engaged with the locking plate in a closed state of the front door and an upward holding state of the locking hook. It consists of a metal fitting. The front door is closed by pressing in the closing direction from the open state of the front door so that the engaging oblique side of the substantially arrow-shaped locking hook and the receiving metal are brought into contact with each other, and the engaging oblique side is placed along the receiving metal. Press the lock hook while swinging it downward. As a result, the spring contracts, but if the contact between the locking hook and the bracket exceeds the oblique side of the engagement, the locking plate is biased upward by the biasing force of the spring and the front door is locked. Is done. In addition, the front door is considerably heavy with a large number of gaming devices. For this reason, since there is a tendency to hang down on the side opposite to the hinge in the open state, a guide roller is provided on the front door, a roller receiver is provided on the cabinet box, and the guide roller is supported by the roller receiver when in the closed state, The front door is configured to be held horizontally closed.

  As described above, the closing of the front door is performed while pressing the front door, which is a heavy object, against the urging force of the spring and horizontally supporting the front door, and therefore requires a considerable force during the closing operation. For this reason, when the locking hook and the metal fitting are engaged and the locking device is locked, the periphery of the metal fitting receives a large thrust load in the longitudinal direction of the cabinet box.

  As a countermeasure against this thrust load, when the metal plate is placed around the opening edge of the cabinet box, which is conventionally made of wood, and closed, the metal plate and the locking hook are brought into contact with each other, so The thrust load received was configured to be received by the entire cabinet box.

  Cabinet boxes composed of wood panels as in the past, including metal plates attached with the above-mentioned measures against thrust load, are difficult to separate and recover metal members that are attached to or embedded in wood in the assembly manufacturing process, This is a big problem in disposal. Therefore, the practical use of a metal cabinet box made of a steel plate material for which a recycling route has been established has been studied. However, if the main component of the cabinet box is a steel plate material, the steel plate material has a specific gravity greater than that of wood, so the thickness of the member has to be reduced. Therefore, the strength concerns regarding the thrust load when the front door is closed cannot be resolved.

  In view of the above problems, an object of the present invention is to provide a metal cabinet box in which the strength against the thrust load in the front-rear direction accompanying the closing operation of the front door of the gaming machine is ensured.
