Further, in FIG. 1, illustration of the protective plate is omitted.

  The transportation carriage includes a carriage main body 1 shown in FIG. 1 and a flexible cover 2 (see FIG. 2) covering the carriage main body 1.

  First, the configuration of the cart body 1 will be described.

  The substantially rectangular bottom panel 3 is provided with casters 4 at four corners, and can be moved thereby. Along the peripheral edge of the bottom panel 3, a left side vertical frame 6 is provided on the left side, a back vertical frame 7 is provided on the back side, a right side vertical frame 8 is provided on the right side, and a front vertical frame 9 is provided on the front side. . These vertical frames 6 to 9 are made of a metal pipe or the like, and are formed in a substantially rectangular frame shape. A plurality of horizontal bars 11 and vertical bars 12 are provided in the frame. In this manner, the vertical frames 6 to 9 are formed with an openable portion that can be inserted by hand or the like, but the lower portions of the vertical frames 6 to 9 extend over substantially the entire width of the vertical frames 6 to 9. A protective plate 13 made of synthetic resin is provided so that a hand or the like cannot be inserted. Note that the protective plate 13 is not provided on the upper portions of the vertical frames 6 to 9.

  Further, the front vertical frame 9 is composed of a pair of left and right, and each front vertical frame 9 is attached to the right side vertical frame 8 and the left side vertical frame 6 so as to be pivotable on the sides, and becomes a door that opens to the front side. ing.

  A space surrounded by the bottom panel 3 and the vertical frames 6 to 9 is a storage space. The upper surface of this storage space is open. Moreover, the shelf board 16 which partitions a storage space up and down is provided so that attachment or detachment is possible. On the upper surface of the bottom panel 3 and the shelf plate 16, a stabilizing plate 18 is provided to prevent the lower part of the pachinko machine 17 (see FIG. 6), which is a stored item, from moving. The stabilization plate 18 is a pair of left and right, and the lower portion of the pachinko machine base 17 is fitted into a groove portion between the left and right stabilization plates 18. The width of the groove is provided so as to match the width on which the stored item is placed, for example, the width of the pachinko machine 17. The pachinko machine 17 is stored in the storage space so that the front display surface faces the side of the carriage body 1. Three pairs of left and right stabilizers 18 are provided on the bottom panel 3 and the shelf 16 respectively.

  A rear elastic member 21 is provided on the back side of the storage space. The front vertical frame 9 is also provided with a front elastic member 22 on the storage space side. In a state where the front vertical frame 9 is closed (a state where the front vertical frame 9 is in the closed position), as shown in FIG. 6, the distance between the rear elastic member 21 and the front elastic member 22 (horizontal component). ) B1 is smaller than the lateral width B2 of the pachinko machine 17. Further, an interval (horizontal component) B3 between the attachment portion of the rear elastic member 21 and the attachment portion of the front elastic member 22 is larger than the lateral width B2 of the pachinko machine 17. Therefore, in a state where the front vertical frame 9 is closed, the pachinko base 17 is sandwiched between the rear elastic member 21 and the front elastic member 22, and the pachinko base 17 is stably fixed.

  The left and right stabilizers 18 at the center are provided with buckles 31 that hold the left and right front vertical frames 9 in the closed position. A buckle 31 as a stopper includes a swing lever 32 and a ring 33. A swing lever 32 as an operation unit is attached to the stabilizing plate 18 so as to be rotatable about a rotation shaft 34. A ring 33 as an engagement / disengagement unit is rotatably attached to the swing lever 32.

  On the other hand, the front vertical frame 9 is provided with a hook portion 36 with which the ring 33 of the buckle 31 can be engaged. It is desirable that the hook portion 36 is disposed closer to the storage space than the front surface of the front vertical frame 9. In this case, the buckle 31 and the hook portion 36 do not protrude from the front surface of the front vertical frame 9. Note that all or part of the hooking portion 36 may be located outside the storage space.

  Further, a locking portion 42 for locking the cover 2 with a lock 41 is provided at the front side end of the bottom panel 3. The locking portion 42 is formed by fixing a U-shaped member to the bottom panel 3 and has an opening into which the lock rod 46 of the lock 41 is inserted.

  The cover 2 has a rectangular parallelepiped shape whose bottom surface is opened so as to cover the vertical frames 6 to 9. And the fastener part 51 of a slide fastener is formed in the front part of the cover 2 toward the upper direction from the lower end of a center part, and it can open to right and left. The slider 52 for opening and closing the fastener portion 51 is positioned at the lower end of the fastener portion 51 when the fastener portion 51 is closed, and includes a hole 53 into which the lock rod 46 of the lock 41 is inserted.

  When the storage cart such as the pachinko machine 17 is to be stored in the transport cart configured as described above, the front vertical frame 9 of the cart body 1 is opened, and the lower part of the pachinko machine 17 is placed in the groove between the stabilizing plates 18. Fit. Then, the front vertical frame 9 is closed, and the swing lever 32 of the buckle 31 is pulled toward the near side, and the ring 33 of the buckle 31 is engaged with the hooking portion 36. Next, when the swing lever 32 is rotated to the back side, the ring 33 pulls the hooking portion 36 to the back side and displaces the front vertical frame 9 to the back side. And when the front elastic member 22 of the front vertical frame 9 is displaced to the back side together with the front vertical frame 9, the front elastic member 22 presses the pachinko base 17, and the pachinko base 17 is strengthened together with the rear elastic member 21. Fix it. In this state, the pachinko machine 17 can be easily visually recognized, and simple inspection work can be performed.

  Next, when the cart body 1 storing the pachinko machine 17 is transported by truck to a pachinko parlor or the like, the slider 52 of the slide fastener is moved upward to open the front surface of the cover 2 to the left and right. And this cover 2 is shown and covered to the cart main body 1 in which the pachinko machine 17 is stored. Next, the slider 52 is moved downward to close the front surface of the cover 2, and the lock rod 46 of the lock 41 is inserted into the hole 53 of the slider 52 and the hole (opening) of the locking portion 42 of the carriage body 1. Later, the lock 41 is locked.

  When the lock 41 is locked, the slider 52 of the slide fastener cannot run, and the cover 2 cannot be removed. Since the protective plate 13 is provided below the vertical frames 6 to 9, the pachinko machine 17 cannot be touched from the outside of the transport carriage unless the cover 2 is broken.

  In the first embodiment described above, the case where the pachinko machine 17 is transported by the cart main body 1 has been described. However, the slot base can also be transported by the cart main body 1. This case will be described in the present embodiment. FIG. 7 shows a perspective view of the cart body 1 in this embodiment.

  When the slot base is transported by the cart main body 1 instead of the pachinko base 17, the basic configuration of the cart main body 1 is the same, and different configurations will be described below.

  First, when the stored item is a pachinko machine 17, a stabilizing plate 18 is provided on the upper surface of the bottom panel 3 and the shelf board 16 to prevent the lower part of the pachinko machine 17 from moving. In this case, the stabilizer 18 may not be provided. Since the pachinko machine 17 is often unstable when placed on the bottom panel 3 and the shelf 16, its movement is prevented by the stabilizer 18, but the slot table is placed on the bottom panel 3 and the shelf 16. This is because it is not necessary to provide the stabilizing plate 18 because it is stable even when placed. Thereby, the upper surfaces of the bottom panel 3 and the shelf board 16 can be made flat.

  Further, the pachinko machine 17 and the slot machine have different widths, and the slot machine is slightly shorter. Therefore, if the bottom panel 3 and the shelf board 16 are left as they are, an extra space is created in the depth. Therefore, it is preferable to further provide a slot base fixing member 23 and a slot base elastic member 24 in front of the rear elastic member 21 or the horizontal rail 11 on the back side of the storage space. This state is shown in FIG.

  The slot base fixing member 23 has a slot base elastic member 24 attached to the storage space side over the entire surface or a part thereof. The slot base fixing member 23 is installed on the storage space side of the mounting portion of the horizontal rail 11 or the rear elastic member 21 in contact with the back vertical frame 7. As in the first embodiment, when the front vertical frame 9 is closed (the front vertical frame 9 is in the closed position), as shown in FIG. 9, the slot base elastic member 24 and the front elastic member 22 The interval (horizontal component) C1 is smaller than the lateral width C2 of the slot base. Further, the distance (horizontal component) C3 between the slot base fixing member 23 and the mounting portion of the front elastic member 22 is larger than the lateral width C2 of the slot base. Therefore, when the front vertical frame 9 is closed, the slot base is sandwiched between the slot base elastic member 24 and the front elastic member 22, and the slot base is stably fixed.

  In addition, the slot base fixing member 23 may be installed on the storage space side of the mounting portion of the cross rail 11 or the front elastic member 22 in contact with the front vertical frame 9. In this case, when the front vertical frame 9 is closed, the distance between the slot base elastic member 24 and the rear elastic member 21 is smaller than the width of the slot base, and the slot base fixing member 23 and the rear base member The distance between the side elastic member 21 and the mounting portion is larger than the width of the slot base.

  Further, in the cart body 1 in this embodiment, the buckle 31 that holds the left and right front vertical frames 9 in the closed position is installed below the shelf board 16, preferably on the lower surface of the shelf board 16. FIG. 10 shows a state in which the buckle in this case is viewed from the outside of the cart body 1.

  The structure of the buckle 31 in this embodiment is basically the same as that of the first embodiment. That is, the buckle 31 includes a swing lever 32 and a ring 33, and the swing lever 32 as an operation unit is attached to the shelf plate 16 so as to be rotatable about a rotation shaft 34. A ring 33 as an engaging / disengaging part is rotatably attached to the swing lever 32. Further, the front vertical frame 9 is provided with a hooking portion 36 with which the ring 33 of the buckle 31 can be engaged. The hook 36 is disposed closer to the storage space than the front surface of the front vertical frame 9, and it is desirable that the buckle 31 and the hook 36 do not protrude from the front surface of the front vertical frame 9.

  As described above, the cart body 1 in the present embodiment has a configuration different from that of the first embodiment, but the other basic structure is the same as that of the first embodiment.

  Although two embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail above, the present invention is not limited to the first and second embodiments, and is within the scope of the gist of the present invention described in the claims. Various changes can be made. Examples of modifications of the present invention are illustrated below.
