Description

  The present invention relates to a gaming machine having a lower panel frame for attaching a lower panel, and a movable claw cover used in the gaming machine, and in particular, a claw passage of a housing door into which a claw portion of the lower panel frame is inserted. A game machine and movable claw cover suitable for preventing malicious acts such as unauthorized entry in the housing by intruding unauthorized tools into the hole and suppressing the increase in the number of parts when disassembling and assembling the lower panel etc. About.

In a gaming machine in which a printing panel is installed at the lower part of the housing door for decoration and production purposes, the lower panel frame for mounting the panel is removable so that the panel and the internal lighting fixture can be replaced.
The lower panel frame has a hook-shaped projecting portion (claw portion) so that it can be easily removed without a tool, and can be locked in a claw passage hole of the housing door.

By the way, gaming machines are likely to be targeted by fraudsters who intend to illegally acquire medals or the like as gaming media, and countermeasures against fraud in gaming machines are an important issue.
For example, an act of removing the lower panel frame from the outside and causing an unauthorized tool to enter through the claw passage hole to cause the casing to operate illegally has occurred.
In view of this, a technique has been proposed in which the lower panel frame cannot be easily removed to prevent fraud.

For example, in the gap between the lower surface of the claw portion inserted into the claw passage hole and the inner wall lower surface of the claw passage hole, the distal end side has an insertion portion that is inserted from the direction opposite to the direction in which the claw portion is inserted. There is a technique for attaching a retaining lock member (see, for example, Patent Document 1).
According to this, the insertion portion of the retaining lock member is inserted into the gap described above with the collar portion formed on the upper surface of the claw portion engaged with the edge portion of the claw passage hole, so that the claw portion is locked. It can suppress that a nail | claw part curves to the side which cancels | releases. Moreover, the retaining lock member is attached from the back side of the housing door. For this reason, the locking member cannot be removed when the housing door is locked, and therefore the lower panel frame cannot be removed, thereby preventing an illegal act of inserting an unauthorized tool into the claw passage hole. .
JP 2007-202856 A

However, the technique described in Patent Document 1 described above has the following problems.
For example, even if the insertion portion of the retaining lock member is inserted into the claw passage hole, the upper portion of the retaining lock member is in an open state. It passes through the gap with the claw passage hole and enters the housing through the upper open part of the retaining lock member. As a result, there has been a problem that an illegal act is performed in the housing.

In addition, when replacing the lower panel, in addition to the work of removing and attaching the lower panel frame, the work of pulling out the retaining lock member and the work of inserting the insertion portion are required, which increases the number of work steps. There was a problem that it took time and effort.
Furthermore, if the claw portion is locked in the claw passage hole, the lower panel frame itself is completely attached, so that the insertion of the retaining lock member may be forgotten. If it does so, fraudulent acts could not be prevented and the hall side suffered damage.

In addition, the retaining lock member is structured to be attached to and detached from the claw passage hole, so that there is a problem that the number of parts at the time of disassembly / assembly increases.
In addition, if the retaining lock member is properly placed somewhere when it is removed from the claw passage hole, it may be lost. In addition, if an attempt is made to obtain a new lock member because the retaining lock member has been lost, it takes time to obtain the lock member, and there has been a problem that fraud cannot be prevented during this time. Furthermore, although it is conceivable to prepare a spare part as a countermeasure, there is a problem that the spare part must be managed and maintenance management becomes complicated.

  The present invention has been made to solve the above-mentioned problems, and completely prevents unauthorized tools from entering the housing, and increases the number of work steps and parts when disassembling and assembling the lower panel frame. An object of the present invention is to provide a gaming machine and a movable claw cover that can suppress the trouble and eliminate the complexity of maintenance management.

  In order to achieve this object, a gaming machine of the present invention is a gaming machine having a lower panel frame that can be detached from a housing door, and the lower panel frame is inserted into a claw passage hole of the housing door. And the housing door covers the entire tip of the claw portion that is inserted into one opening of the claw passage hole and exposed from the other opening, and the entire outer peripheral edge of the other opening. The movable claw cover is provided.

  If the gaming machine has such a configuration, the entire tip exposed portion of the claw portion inserted into the claw passage hole and the entire outer periphery of the other opening of the claw passage hole are covered with the movable claw cover, so that the claw is temporarily Even if an unauthorized tool enters through the gap between the claw passage and the claw passage hole, it always hits the movable claw cover and cannot enter further. Thereby, the fraudulent act using the fraudulent tool can be completely prevented.

Further, the gaming machine of the present invention can be configured such that the movable claw cover is fixed to the housing door.
If the gaming machine has such a configuration, since the movable claw cover is fixed to the housing door, it is not necessary to attach or remove the movable claw cover when disassembling / assembling the lower panel frame. For this reason, the increase in work man-hours and the number of parts can be suppressed.
Further, since the movable claw cover is fixed to the casing door, it is possible to avoid forgetting to attach the movable claw cover. In addition, since the movable claw cover is fixed at all times, it can completely prevent any fraud.
Moreover, since the movable claw cover is not removed when the lower panel frame is disassembled and assembled, it is not necessary to manage spare parts of the movable claw cover. Thereby, the complexity of maintenance management can be eliminated.

  Further, in the gaming machine of the present invention, the claw portion is formed in a bowl shape and has a locking portion that locks to the outer peripheral edge of the other opening portion of the claw passage hole, and the movable claw cover has the other opening portion. A claw pressing portion that presses the locking portion in a direction in which the locking portion is released from the outer peripheral edge of the rim, and an elastic member that gives elasticity so that the claw pressing portion moves in a direction in which the locking portion is released. it can.

When the gaming machine has such a configuration, the locking is released by pressing the locking portion of the claw portion via the claw pressing portion, and the lower panel frame can be removed.
Moreover, since the movable claw cover has an elastic member, the claw pressing part can be moved while being fixed to the housing door, and the lower panel frame can be removed. Thereby, the increase in the number of parts at the time of disassembly / assembly can be suppressed.

In the gaming machine of the present invention, the elastic member can include a leaf spring.
If the gaming machine has such a configuration, the cover member can be moved by the elasticity of the leaf spring. Moreover, the leaf spring is easy to form because of its simple shape. Furthermore, depending on the material, the fixing member, the cover member, and the elastic member can be integrally formed.

Also, the movable claw cover of the present invention is inserted into one opening of a claw passage hole formed in a housing door of a gaming machine and exposed at the tip of the claw portion of the lower panel frame exposed from the other opening. It can be set as the structure provided with the cover member which covers the whole and the whole outer periphery of the said other opening part.
If the movable claw cover has such a configuration, the cover member of the movable claw cover has a structure that covers the outer peripheral edge of the other opening of the claw passage hole of the lower door frame and the claw passage hole of the housing door, Even if an unauthorized tool is inserted into the claw passage hole, it always comes into contact with the cover member.
Moreover, even if it can pass through the claw passage hole, it cannot reach the inside of the housing, so that it is very difficult to carry out unauthorized work inside.
From this, it is possible to prevent further unauthorized intrusion of the unauthorized tool and completely prevent the unauthorized operation by the tool.

As described above, according to the present invention, the entire tip of the claw portion that is inserted into the claw passage hole and exposed and the entire outer periphery of the other opening portion of the claw passage hole are formed by the cover member of the movable claw cover. Since it is covered, it is possible to completely prevent an unauthorized tool from entering the housing. For this reason, it is possible to completely prevent an illegal act using the illegal tool.
Further, since the movable claw cover is fixed to the housing door, the number of parts does not increase even when the lower panel frame is removed.

  Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of a gaming machine and a movable claw cover according to the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

[Game machine]
First, an embodiment of the gaming machine of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS.
In this embodiment, a slot machine is applied as a gaming machine having a movable claw cover.
FIG. 1 is a view showing an overview of a slot machine, where (i) is a front view and (ii) is a side view. FIG. 2 is a detailed view showing the rear surface configuration of the housing door.

It should be noted that machines, devices, and the like of each part and each part constituting the slot machine and their control are well-known, and description thereof will be omitted here, and the characteristic configuration of the invention will be described in detail below.

[Lower panel]
The lower panel will be described with reference to FIG.
As shown in the figure, the lower panel portion 32 includes a lower panel 33, a casing door lower portion 34, and a lower panel frame 35.
The lower panel 33 is a plate-like member on which appearance characters and the like are drawn in order to make the player recognize the game content, the model type of the slot machine, and the like.
The casing door lower part 34 is a member that constitutes a substantially lower half of the casing door 3. The housing door lower portion 34 has a recess 36 formed in a concave shape from the front toward the inside of the housing, and a lower panel illumination component 37 is attached in the recess 36. For example, a fluorescent lamp can be used for the lower panel illumination component 37. When the lower panel illumination component 37 is lit, a character or the like drawn on the lower panel 33 can be brightly illuminated from the back (back).

Further, the housing door lower part 34 is formed with a door-side convex part 38 having a claw passage hole 381 into which a claw part 352 (described later) of the lower panel frame 35 is inserted (see FIG. 5).
The door-side convex portion 38 is formed in a cylindrical shape having a substantially square radial cross section, and is erected on the back side of the housing door lower portion 34 so that the hollow shaft is in the horizontal direction. In the door-side convex portion 38, the opening on the side where the claw portion 352 is inserted (the front side of the housing door lower portion 34) is the first opening (one opening) 382, and the claw portion 352 is inserted. The opening on the side where the tip is exposed (the back side of the casing door lower part 34, the side covered by the movable claw cover 40) is referred to as a second opening (the other opening) 383.
Further, the housing door lower part 34 is formed with a hooking member passage hole 341 in which a hooking member 357 (described later) of the lower panel frame 35 is inserted and locked (see FIG. 6).

The lower panel frame 35 is a holding frame for attaching the lower panel 33 to the housing door lower part 34.
On the upper side member 351 of the lower panel frame 35, a claw portion 352 is formed to project.
The claw portion 352 is formed in a bowl shape as a whole, and has a plate member 353 projecting from the upper side member 351 in the horizontal direction (the direction in which the lower panel frame 35 is attached), and one surface of the plate member 353 ( In the present embodiment, a part of the upper surface) has a locking portion 354 formed with a step.
An inclined surface 355 is formed from the upper end of the step of the locking portion 354 to the tip of the claw portion 352.
In the present embodiment, two claw portions 352 are provided and are formed at predetermined positions from both ends of the upper side member 351, respectively. However, the number of claw portions 352 is not limited to two, and may be three or more.

A hook member 357 is formed on the lower side member 356 of the lower panel frame 35.
The hook member 357 is formed in the shape of a bowl as in the case of the claw portion 352, and is formed so as to project from the back end portion of the lower side member 356 toward the attachment direction of the lower panel frame 35.
The lower panel 33 and the lower panel frame 35 are attached by the claw portions 352 of the upper side member 351 and the hook members 357 of the lower side member 356 being respectively locked at predetermined positions of the housing door lower part 34.

  Since the hook member 357 has a small elastic force, it cannot be removed while being bent by being pushed by a finger or the like like the claw portion 352. That is, when the lower panel frame 35 is removed, the hook member 357 can be removed only after the claw portion 352 of the upper side member 351 is removed. As described above, the hook member 357 is not a part to which a person applies a force to remove the hook member 357. Therefore, the hook member 357 can be protected not by a movable type but by a fixed type cover.

[Moveable claw cover]
(Construction)
Next, the structure of the movable claw cover will be described with reference to FIG.
As shown in the figure, the movable claw cover 40 includes a fixed member 41, an elastic member 42, and a cover member 43.

  The fixing member 41 is formed of a flat plate, and a through hole 411 is formed in the center. The screw 50 is passed through the hole 411, and the screw 50 is screwed into a prepared hole cut in a thick portion 342 (described later) of the housing door lower portion 34, so that the movable claw cover 40 is attached to the housing door. It is fixed to the back surface of the lower part 34.

As the elastic member 42, for example, a leaf spring can be used as shown in FIG.
The leaf spring is formed in a lateral U shape as indicated by the symbol “⊂” on the side surface. That is, the upper plate member 421 and the lower plate member 422 are connected by the bending member 423 to form a horizontal U shape. Further, one side of the upper plate member 421 (side opposite to the side to which the bending member 423 is connected) is bent outward (upward) with respect to the horizontal U shape, and the front member 437 of the bottom member 436 of the cover member 43. Connected to the side edge. Further, one side of the lower plate member 422 (side facing the side to which the bending member 423 is connected) is bent outward (downward) with respect to the horizontal U-shape and connected to the fixing member 41.
With such a shape, the elastic member 42 functions as a spring (elastic body). For this reason, even when the fixing member 41 is fixed, the cover member 43 can be moved by the elastic force.
Further, by forming the elastic member 42 in such a shape, the cover member 43 cannot be pushed in more than necessary, and the elastic member 42 is prevented from being broken.

The cover member 43 is formed in a shape like the front half of the bonnet bus, and includes a first stage (lower stage part 431) corresponding to the hood part and a second stage (upper stage part 432) corresponding to the roof part. An inclined surface (claw pressing portion) 433 is formed therebetween.
The upper stage 432 is one step higher on the right side and the left side, and the center is lower than them. In this way, the side is high because the rib 343 is formed around the door-side convex portion 38 formed on the back surface of the housing door lower portion 34, and the movable claw cover 40 is attached to the housing door lower portion 34. This is to avoid the ribs 343 when fixing to the head. The shape of the upper step portion 432 can be changed according to the standing position of the rib 343.

The bottom member 436 is formed of a rectangular flat plate.
The right side member 434 and the left side member 435 are formed in a shape along the upper step 432, the inclined surface 433, the lower step 431, the front member 437, and the bottom member 436, respectively.

The back surface portion 438 is an opening. As a result, the door-side convex portion 38 can be inserted into the cover member 43. Further, since the claw portion 352 of the lower panel frame 35 inserted into the claw passage hole 381 of the door side convex portion 38 can also be inserted into the cover member 43, the second opening portion of the door side convex portion 38 is provided. The outer peripheral edge 384 of 383 and the tip of the claw portion 352 are covered with the cover member 43.
In the cover member 43, the opening is only the back surface portion 438.

With such a shape, the cover member 43 can protect the door-side convex portion 38 and can remove the claw portion 352 of the lower panel frame 35 without removing the movable claw cover 40 during disassembly work or the like.
The movable claw cover 40 is made of a resin material having a strength that does not easily break.

(Fixing the movable claw cover)
Next, fixation of the movable claw cover will be described with reference to FIG.
The movable claw cover 40 is fixed using screws 50.
As described above, the hole 411 is formed in the fixing member 41 of the movable claw cover 40. On the other hand, a cylindrical thick portion 342 is provided on the rear surface of the housing door lower portion 34 at a spaced position below the door-side convex portion 38. A pilot hole is cut in the thick portion 342 so that a screw 50 can be screwed therein.
In such a structure, the foot part 51 of the screw 50 is passed through the hole 411 of the fixing member 41, and the screw 50 is screwed to the thick part 342 of the housing door lower part 34, whereby the movable claw cover 40. Can be fixed to the housing door lower part 34.

  In addition, one or more ribs 344 (344-1 to 344-3) are erected around the thick portion 342. The ribs 344 support and support the surface of the fixed member 41 so that the movable claw cover 40 is fixed (ribs 344-1 and 344-2), and the movable claw cover 40 rotates around the screw 50. In some cases, the fixing member 41 is supported from the side (rib 344-3).

  In the present embodiment, a screw is used as a method for fixing the movable claw cover, but the present invention is not limited to the screw, and any suitable method such as fitting, welding, or adhesion can be used.

[Attach / Remove the lower panel frame]
(Attaching the lower panel frame)
Next, attachment of the lower panel frame will be described with reference to FIGS.
FIG. 6 is a side sectional view showing a state in which the lower panel and the lower panel frame are attached to the lower part of the housing door.
First, as shown in FIG. 3, the lower panel 33 and the lower panel frame 35 are in a state of being disassembled from the housing door lower part 34.
The lower panel 33 is set in the frame of the lower panel frame 35 (or the lower panel 33 is set so as to cover the concave portion 36 of the housing door lower part 34).

Next, when the lower panel frame 35 is attached to the housing door lower portion 34, the hook member 357 of the lower side member 356 of the lower panel frame 35 is passed through the hook member passage hole 341 of the housing door lower portion 34 and is hooked (locking). To do).
Subsequently, the claw portion 352 of the upper side member 351 of the lower panel frame 35 is inserted into the first opening 382 of the claw passage hole 381 of the housing door lower portion 34. The inserted claw portion 352 has a locking portion 354 at the tip thereof exposed from the second opening 383 of the claw passage hole 381. Then, the stepped portion of the locking portion 354 is locked to the opening outer peripheral edge 384 on the second opening 383 side of the door-side convex portion 38. Thereby, the attachment of the lower panel 33 and the lower panel frame 35 is completed.

As shown in FIG. 6, in a state where the lower panel 33 and the lower panel frame 35 are attached to the housing door lower portion 34, the cover member 43 of the movable claw cover 40 is at least the second opening of the door-side convex portion 38. The entire outer peripheral edge 384 of 383 and the entire tip of the claw 352 exposed from the second opening 383 are included (covered).
As a result, even if an unauthorized tool passes through the gap between the inner wall of the claw passage hole 381 and the surface of the plate member 353 of the claw portion 352, the unauthorized tool always strikes the cover member 43. Cannot enter the body. For this reason, the fraudulent act using the unauthorized tool can be prevented.

(Removing the lower panel frame)
Next, removal of the lower panel frame will be described with reference to FIGS.
7 is a cross-sectional view showing a state in which the cover member of the movable claw cover is pushed in, FIG. 8 is a cross-sectional view showing a state in which the lock is released by pushing in the cover member, and FIG. It is sectional drawing which shows the state of the movable claw cover after removing and its periphery.

  As shown in FIG. 6, in the state where the lower panel frame 35 is attached to the housing door lower part 34, the claw part 352 is locked to the outer peripheral edge 384 of the second opening 383 of the door-side convex part 38. In this state, the inclined surface 355 of the claw portion 352 is in a state of approaching or contacting the back surface of the inclined surface 433 of the cover member 43. Further, the outer peripheral upper surface 385 of the door-side convex portion 38 is located away from the back surface of the upper step portion 432 of the cover member 43, and the outer peripheral lower surface 386 of the claw passage hole 381 approaches the upper surface of the bottom surface member 436 of the cover member 43. Or they are in contact.

When the lower panel frame 35 is removed, as shown in FIG. 7, one or both of the lower step portion 431 and the inclined surface 433 of the cover member 43 of the movable claw cover 40 are pushed downward from above.
Thereby, the back surface of the inclined surface 433 comes into contact with the inclined surface 355 of the claw portion 352 and is pushed down. When pushed down further, as shown in FIG. 8, the locking portion 354 of the claw portion 352 is released from the outer peripheral edge 384 of the second opening 383 of the claw passage hole 381, and the locking is released. By releasing this locking, the lower panel frame 35 becomes removable.

When the lower panel frame 35 and the lower panel 33 are removed and the pressing of the cover member 43 is stopped, the cover member 43 returns to the original position by the elastic force of the elastic member 42 as shown in FIG.
As can be seen from this figure, even in this state, even if an unauthorized tool is inserted into the claw passage hole 381, the second opening 383 of the claw passage hole 381 is covered by the cover member 43, and so on. Intrusion of unauthorized tools into the
Furthermore, the gap between the door-side convex portion 38 and the cover member 43 is only a minimum gap for the cover member 43 to operate, and the path for entering the inside of the housing from the outside through this gap is complicated. It has become. For this reason, the intrusion of unauthorized tools is very difficult.
In addition, since the intrusion of the unauthorized tool in the state shown in FIG. 9 can be prevented, the cover member 43 can similarly prevent the intrusion of the unauthorized tool even when the claw portion 352 is inserted into the claw passage hole 381.

As described above, according to the gaming machine and the movable claw cover of the present embodiment, since the movable claw cover is provided so as to cover the second opening of the claw passage hole, an unauthorized tool is allowed to enter the claw passage hole. Even so, since the intrusion beyond the movable claw cover is blocked, fraud can be prevented.
In addition, the gap required for the operation of the cover member is minimized, making it difficult for unauthorized tools to pass through. It has become.

Furthermore, since the door side convex part has entered the inside of the cover member, and there is only a minimum gap between the cover member and the door side convex part, it is assumed that the cover member is inclined by being pushed by an unauthorized tool. However, it is possible to avoid a situation in which somewhere inside the cover member always hits the door-side convex portion and cannot be tilted any further, and the cover member is detached from the door-side convex portion.
In addition, the movable claw cover is fixed to the housing door, and when the lower panel frame is removed, the claw part can be unlocked while it is fixed. The number of parts does not increase when disassembling and assembling.

In addition, since the movable claw cover is not removed or attached when the lower panel is replaced, an increase in the number of work steps can be suppressed.
