Description

  The present invention relates to a game medium storage box.

  Generally, in a game medium storage box for storing game media such as game balls and medals in a gaming machine such as a pachinko machine or a pachislot machine, a storage part having an opening on the upper surface and storing the game medium from the opening, and the storage There is known a storage box integrally provided with gripping portions on both sides extending outward from the upper edge portion of the portion.

  Normally, in a pachinko game hall, a player often places the game medium storage box on the floor of the player's own feet when the game medium storage box becomes full of game balls or the like. Then, other players may use the game medium storage box placed on the floor as a guideline to grasp the store situation and determine whether or not they actually play the game. That is, since the store side wants to attract more customers, it is necessary to give a strong impression to other players, and a game medium storage box having such an effect is desired.

Japanese Patent No. 3851892

  For example, in the pachinko ball storage case described in Patent Document 1, in the box-shaped case main body (game medium storage box), the short side wall (peripheral wall) has a corrugated irregularity formed of an arcuate curved surface on the left and right. Mountains and valleys are formed so as to be opposite to each other, and a terrace-like surface is formed in the vicinity of the upper opening continuous with the convex surface. According to this, just by reversing the left and right orientation of the box-shaped case body, the bottom of the box-shaped case body is fitted deeply from the opening of the other box-shaped case body, and the box-shaped case body is stacked. And the bottom of the box-shaped case body rests on the terrace-like surface of another box-shaped case body, and can be selectively performed either in a placing-type laminated state in which the box-shaped case body is stacked, When the bulk is lowered in the state, the space for storing the box-shaped case main body is small in the pachinko game hall, and when the bulk is increased in the stacked type stacked state, the box shape filled with game balls An empty box-shaped case body can be used as a pedestal for the case body, allowing players to fully enjoy the feeling that they are playing smoothly and giving a strong impression to other players effectively. It is those that can.

  However, since the box-shaped case body of Patent Document 1 is formed with a corrugated uneven shape on the short side wall surface in order to form a terrace-shaped surface for realizing a placement-type stacked state, The storage amount of game balls in the game is reduced, or the game medium storage box (storage portion) is increased in size with respect to the storage amount, and is formed in a convex shape with respect to the convex terrace-shaped surface. Therefore, it cannot be said that the ground contact area is small and the stability is good.

  The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and a game that can be stably stacked even when stacked while changing the height without reducing the storage amount of game balls in the housing portion. The purpose is to provide a media storage box.

In order to solve the above-mentioned problem, the game medium storage box of the present invention includes:
A housing portion having an opening on the upper surface and having a peripheral wall portion and a bottom wall portion integrally formed for storing game media from the opening, and extending outward from an upper edge of the peripheral wall portion facing the housing portion. A game medium storage box comprising a pair of gripping portions,
The extending ribs laid between the lower surface of the gripping portion and the outer surface of the peripheral wall portion so as to hang down from the gripping portion along the peripheral wall portion are displaced from each other in the pair of gripping portions. Multiple each,
Corresponding to these extended ribs, a groove-shaped slit portion recessed into the extended rib is formed so as to open from the upper surface of the gripping portion to the inner surface of the peripheral wall portion,
When the sizes of the extending rib and the slit portion are compared, the outer peripheral shape of the end of the extending rib is included in the inner peripheral shape of the opening of the slit portion.

  According to the above-described game medium storage box of the present invention, the extending rib laid between the lower surface of the gripping portion and the outer surface of the peripheral wall portion, and the extending rib opened from the upper surface of the gripping portion to the inner surface of the peripheral wall portion. Since the slit portion recessed inside is formed so that the outer peripheral shape of the tip of the extending rib is included in the inner peripheral shape of the opening of the slit portion, it is necessary to make the peripheral wall portion forming the accommodating portion uneven. The height can be stably changed and stacked without reducing the amount of game balls stored in the housing portion. As a result, for example, when the bottom wall portion has a substantially square shape, the peripheral wall portion can be implemented in a simple and simple shape such as forming a box-shaped accommodation portion that stands up from the periphery of the bottom wall portion. No major design changes are required from the medium storage box, and the manufacturing cost does not increase.

  Specifically, a plurality of extending ribs and slits are provided in the pair of gripping parts so as to be displaced from each other with respect to the extending ribs and slits on the other side. The tip of the extended rib of one game medium storage box fits into the slit portion of the other game medium storage box and the storage part of one game medium storage box is stored in the other game medium storage A fitting-type stacked state in which the game medium storage boxes are stacked by being deeply inserted from the opening of the storage part of the box, and the leading edge of the extending rib of one game medium storage box is the upper edge of the peripheral wall portion of the other game medium storage box ( The game medium storage boxes are stacked in a state of being suspended on the upper surface of the gripping part and floating while the storage part of one game medium storage box is not deeply inserted from the opening of the storage part of the other game medium storage box. Stand-up lamination One of on purpose can be selectively performed.

  Therefore, when the bulk is lowered in the fitting-type stacked state, the space for storing the game medium storage box is small when transporting the game medium storage box or in the pachinko game hall, and the bulk is increased in the placement-type stacked state. In this case, the empty game medium storage box can be used as a base for the game medium storage box filled with game balls, and the player can fully enjoy the feeling that the player is playing smoothly. A strong impression can be effectively given to the players. In other words, if the gripping part and the peripheral wall part are installed in a different way, the extending rib as a reinforcing part that reinforces the gripping part and the peripheral wall part is used to form different stacked states of the game medium storage boxes. It contributes to the reduction of material costs and manufacturing costs.

In the game medium storage box, the extending rib has a base end portion including a slit portion therein and an extension portion extending from the tip end of the base end portion, and has a continuous cross-sectional shape parallel to the peripheral wall portion. A shape that tapers intermittently or intermittently,
When the sizes of the extending rib and the slit portion are compared, the whole or a part of the extending portion can be included in the slit portion. According to this, since the extending rib is formed by the base end portion including the slit portion therein and the extending portion extending from the distal end, the slit portion and the extending portion are superposed on the extending rib. The extended rib can be formed without difficulty.

  Further, a stepped portion that is notched corresponding to the upper edge of the accommodating portion from which the gripping portion is extended can be formed on the top end of the extending rib. According to this, since the stepped portion at the top end of the extending rib is formed corresponding to the upper edge of the accommodating portion, the stepped portion is formed on the upper edge of the accommodating portion in the above-described stacked type state. It is hooked and becomes a position regulation (prevention of lateral displacement) in the grip portion extending direction, and can be stacked more stably.

In addition, the bottom wall portion has a raised bottom shape with a skirt wall formed in a form in which the peripheral wall portion extends downward on the periphery,
The extending rib may be configured to extend to the vicinity of the bottom wall portion. According to this, since the skirt wall is formed below the front end of the extending rib, in the above-described stacking-type stacked state, the skirt wall enters from the opening of the housing portion and the lateral position restriction ( Horizontal slippage prevention), and can be stacked more stably.

  Moreover, it can be set as the structure by which the advertisement display part which displays predetermined information, such as a game machine and a store, and carries out advertisement advertisement with respect to a player is provided in the outer surface of a surrounding wall part. According to this, since the advertisement display part is provided on the outer surface of the peripheral wall part, not only when the game medium storage box filled with game balls is placed on the floor of the player's feet, but also at the side of the game island. Even in the case of being stacked and stored, the advertisement can be effectively advertised by setting it to the placing type laminated state.

That is, the above game media storage box is
When stacking the second game medium storage box on the placed first game medium storage box so that the opening of the storage portion faces upward,
When the second game medium storage box is stacked in the same direction with respect to the first game medium storage box, the extending rib of the second game medium storage box is formed in the slit portion of the first game medium storage box. While the two game media storage boxes are stacked relatively low,
When the second game medium storage box is stacked in an inverted direction with respect to the first game medium storage box, the end of the extending rib of the second game medium storage box is the first game medium storage box. The two game medium storage boxes can be stacked relatively high in contact with the upper surface of the grip portion. Thereby, the said effect is produced.
