Description

  The present invention is suitable for an outer frame of a gaming machine such as a pachinko machine, for example, and can be easily and securely attached to a fixed frame, and can be easily attached to each manufacturer and model, and is attached when a model of a pachinko machine is changed. The present invention relates to a mounting frame for a gaming machine or the like that can reuse the frame and its main parts, and can effectively use the frame and reduce waste materials.

  For example, a conventional pachinko machine has a wooden outer frame with a hinge attached to the vertical position on one side, a wooden inner frame with a rear end pivotably attached to the hinge, and a game board assembled to the inner frame. When installing the pachinko machine, a wooden fixed frame is attached to a predetermined position in the room in a vertical position, and the outer frame is simply attached to the inner surface of the fixed frame via nails or wood screws. A game board and a game mechanism are attached to the outer frame via the inner frame, so as to correspond to a model change of a pachinko machine or a short replacement cycle in a game hall.

That is, when the pachinko machine is changed or replaced, it is necessary to replace a large number of old and new pachinko machines. Therefore, it is necessary to perform this replacement work easily and quickly.
The replacement work involves removing the outer and inner frames from the fixed frame, collecting the pachinko machines, separating them into reusable parts and waste parts, incinerating the wood, and disposing of the old pachinko machines. It was done.
Therefore, when replacing the pachinko machine, the dumping amount of waste materials increases, resulting in a lack of effective use of resources, resulting in an increase in equipment costs, while the separation work is cumbersome and cumbersome, and incineration of wood. There was an environmental problem, and it was desired to improve it.

  In response to such a request, the outer frame, the inner frame, and the hinges are all made of recyclable aluminum or aluminum alloy material, and when changing the model of the pachinko machine or replacing it, without separating the parts, There is a main body structure of a gaming machine that makes these recyclable as one unit, reduces the amount of waste, etc., eliminates incineration, saves resources, and protects the environment (see, for example, Patent Document 1).

  However, the main body structure is composed of aluminum or an aluminum alloy material for all of the outer frame, the inner frame, and the hinge, so that weight reduction and regeneration are improved, but the mold cost is increased and expensive. In addition, with aluminum hinges, there is concern about the strength of supporting heavy-weight pachinko machines, and when responding by increasing the thickness, it requires a very thick wall and looks uncomfortable and has recently become thinner. Cannot be used with other pachinko machines.

  By the way, when replacing the pachinko machine, as a method of installing a new pachinko machine, after attaching the outer frame to the fixed frame, the pachinko machine is rotated 90 degrees and held, and the holding hole provided at the lower end of the rear end is removed. After inserting it into the support shaft protruding from the lower end of the frame and supporting the weight of the pachinko machine, the support shaft provided at the upper end of the rear end of the pachinko machine is inserted into the groove of the holding hole provided at the upper end of the outer frame. There is one that is inserted and locked so that the support shaft can be pivoted in a holding hole (see, for example, Patent Document 2).

  However, in the above, a partial cross-sectional shape of the support shaft provided at the upper end of the rear end portion of the pachinko machine is formed in a flat shape narrower than the split groove of the holding hole, and thus received a lateral load. When the pachinko machine is rotated 90 degrees, the support shaft may come out of the split groove.

  In order to solve such problems, a second metal fitting is attached to the upper part of the back mechanism panel of the pachinko machine, a gap and a rotation hole communicating with the gap are formed in the metal fitting, and a slide member is slid in the gap. When the back mechanism board is attached, the back mechanism board is placed at the same height position of the game board storage frame. Move toward the provided support shaft, press the slide member against the support shaft and move it backward, move the support shaft to the inner part of the rotation hole, and then engage the tip of the slide member with the support shaft. There is a mechanism that prevents the slipping out (see, for example, Patent Document 3).

  However, the mechanism holds the back mechanism board while the game board storage frame is in an unstable rotation state when the game board storage frame is open, and moves it so as to face the storage frame to support the rotation hole. Since this is performed by pressing against the shaft, there is a problem that it is unstable, workability is poor and labor is required.
