Description

  The present invention relates to a gaming machine such as a pachinko gaming machine or a slot machine having a board case for housing a board such as a control board.

Conventionally, in a board case that is attached to a pachinko machine or the like and stores a board such as a control board, a sealing seal is pasted so as to straddle the upper case and the lower case of the board case, and sealing is performed when the board case is opened. It is known that the seal is broken to leave a trace so that it can be detected that the substrate case has been opened illegally (see Patent Document 1 below).
JP 2006-326281 A

  However, as described above, even if a seal seal is applied so as to straddle the upper case and the lower case, if there is only one broken portion, the trace is difficult to understand and there is a possibility that the unauthorized opening of the substrate case cannot be overlooked. It was.

  The present invention solves the above-mentioned problem, and when the substrate case is opened, it is easy to foresee that the substrate case has been opened by configuring the seal seal to be broken at two or more locations. The purpose is to provide a machine.

  A gaming machine according to the present invention includes a first case portion and a second case portion to which the first case portion is engaged, and the substrate is housed in a case body formed by both case portions. The substrate case is opened and closed by sliding or rotating one of the two case parts with respect to the other, and the first extension on the outside of the first case part is detachable from the first case part. A second extension portion is provided on the outer side of the second case portion so as not to be detached from the second case portion so as to face the first extension portion when the substrate case is closed. A plurality of blade portions are provided on a side of the one extension portion facing the second extension portion in the closed state of the substrate case, and the second extension portion is provided on the first extension portion in the closed state of the substrate case. On the opposite side, there is one more sticker part than the number of blade parts Each of the blade portions is moved between the seal application portion and the adjacent seal application portion when one of the case portions is slid or rotated with respect to the other in order to change the substrate case from the closed state to the open state. Each blade part and each seal sticking part are arrange | positioned so that it may pass through the space part between, and the seal seal | sticker is stuck over all the seal sticking parts so that each space part may be straddled.

  According to this, when one of the case portions is slid or rotated with respect to the other in order to change the substrate case from the closed state to the open state, each blade portion breaks the seal seal. It is ruptured at a plurality of locations, the traces of rupture are easy to understand, and it is easy to see that the substrate case has been opened.

  Here, if each seal sticking portion is arranged in a portion that is sealed in the closed state of the substrate case, there is no possibility that the seal seal is peeled off from the outside unless the substrate case is opened or destroyed.

  Further, if the thickness of each blade portion is made slightly smaller than the width of the space portion through which the blade portion passes, when the blade portion passes through the space portion, the seal seal is broken on the side wall of the space portion. Since the portion is pressed and attached, it is almost impossible to restore the seal seal, and it is easier to understand that the substrate case has been opened.

  Further, if the seal seal is affixed so as to seal each space portion, dust does not enter the space portions from the outside, and the possibility that the seal seal is easily peeled off due to dust adhering to the back surface of the seal seal is reduced.

  Further, in at least one of the first extension portion and the second extension portion, if at least a portion where the seal seal is visible from the outside is transparent, the state of the seal seal is easily visible from the outside.

  Also, if the seal sticker is equipped with an IC tag, there is a high possibility that when the substrate case is opened, the IC tag is broken at a plurality of locations and information cannot be read from the IC tag. The possibility that unauthorized opening cannot be detected in the detection of opening is reduced, and unauthorized opening can be easily detected using an IC tag reader without visually checking the seal seal from the outside.

  According to the pachinko gaming machine of the present invention, when the substrate case is opened, a plurality of portions of the seal seal are broken, so that it is easy to see that the substrate case has been opened.

  And, as shown in FIG. 10, in the closed state of the substrate case 1, the blade portion placement portion 45 closes the front half of the opening of the seal placement portion 55, and each blade portion 41 and each seal sticking portion 51 are It arrange | positions so that the blade part 41a may be located ahead of the space part 54a, and the blade part 41b may be located ahead of the space part 54b. In addition, the thickness (width in the left-right direction) of the blade portions 41a and 41b is slightly smaller than the width in the left-right direction of the space portions 54a and 54b, respectively.

  When the main control board is housed in the board case 1 configured as described above and the board case 1 is closed, first, the main control board (not shown) is first placed on the upper surface side of the lower case body 3. FIG. 2 shows the upper case body 2 with respect to the lower case body 3 while the upper case body 2 is covered with the lower case body 3 while the respective engagement pins 21 are inserted into the openings 31a of the corresponding insertion grooves 31 from above. Slide in the closing direction. Then, as shown in FIG. 4, the engagement pin 21 slides in the insertion groove 31 and stops at the front end of the insertion groove 31, and the engagement protrusion 32 corresponds to the corresponding engagement recess 22 as shown in FIG. 5C. The upper case body 2 is engaged with the lower case body 3, and the projecting portion 23 projecting from the upper case body 2 is inserted into a through-hole 33 formed in the lower case body 3, so that the case body 10 is closed.

  Then, as described above, the seal base member 5 with the seal seal 9 attached to each seal attaching portion 51 is applied to the insertion portion 57 and then inserted into the locking hole 35. Then, the nail | claw part 58 is latched and the insertion part 57 is adhere | attached, Therefore The seal base member 5 is attached to the lower case body 3 so that it cannot be removed. Similarly, the sealing base lid member 4 is also inserted into the locking hole 25 by applying an adhesive to the insertion portion 47. Then, the seal base lid member 4 is attached to the upper case body 2 so as not to be removed. Then, as shown in FIG. 6, a sealing seal 9 is formed on the front wall portion of the upper case body 2, the front wall portion of the lower case body 3, the seal base member 5, and the seal base lid member 4. The board case 1 is placed in the closed state shown in FIG.

  When the substrate case 1 closed as described above is opened, the engagement pins 21 come to the rear end of the insertion groove 31 in the opening direction of the upper case body 2 with respect to the lower case body 3 as shown in FIG. Slide until Then, the engaging convex part 32 comes off from the engaging concave part 22 and returns to the state of FIG. 5A, and the protruding part 23 projecting from the upper case body 2 extends from the through hole 33 formed in the lower case body 3. It will be pulled out and will be in the state shown in FIG. The position where the upper case body 2 is slid with respect to the lower case body 3 until each engaging pin 21 comes to the rear end of the insertion groove 31 is hereinafter referred to as an open position.

  Thus, when the upper case body 2 is slid with respect to the lower case body 3 to the open position, the seal base cover member 4 fixed to the upper case body 2 slides with respect to the seal base member 5, and the seal base The blade portions 41a and 41b projecting from the lid member 4 break the seal seal 9 and pass through the space portions 54a and 54b, resulting in the state shown in FIGS. At this time, since the thicknesses of the blade portions 41a and 41b are slightly smaller than the widths of the space portions 54a and 54b, respectively, the broken portions of the seal seal 9 are cut by the blade portions 41a and 41b. As shown by reference numeral 9a in FIG. 5, the pressure is pressed against the side walls of the space portions 54a and 54b, and adheres to the side walls of the space portions 54a and 54b. Further, a part of the seal seal 9 is torn off and adheres to the rear end portions of the blade portions 41a and 41b as indicated by reference numeral 9b in FIG.

  When the upper case body 2 is lifted upward in a state where the upper case body 2 is slid with respect to the lower case body 3 to the open position, each engagement pin 21 is pulled out of the insertion groove 31, and the substrate case 1. Is open.

  Thus, in the substrate case 1, when the upper case body 2 is slid with respect to the lower case body 3 in order to change from the closed state to the open state, the plurality of blade portions 41 pass through the opposing space portions 54. Therefore, the seal seals 9 that are pasted over all the seal pasting portions 51 so as to straddle the respective space portions 54 are broken at the respective blade portions 41. That is, since the seal seal 9 is broken at a plurality of places, even if the substrate case 1 is closed again after that, the trace of the breakage is easily understood and it can be easily understood that the substrate case 1 has been opened. Moreover, since the seal seal 9 is stuck so as to straddle each space portion 54, it is almost impossible to conceal the unauthorized opening by restoring the seal seal 9 after being broken.

  Further, if the seal seal 9 is broken at a plurality of locations, the IC tag 91 provided on the seal seal 9 is likely to be broken at a plurality of locations. If the IC tag 91 is broken at a plurality of locations, the IC tag 91 is identified. Since it is almost impossible to read information, there is almost no possibility that unauthorized opening cannot be detected in the detection of unauthorized opening using an IC tag reader.

  In addition, since the seal base cover member 4 is transparent, it is possible to visually recognize that the seal seal 9 is broken from the outside without using an IC tag reader and to detect unauthorized opening. As described above, when the seal seal 9 is visible from the outside, the seal seal 9 is not necessarily provided with the IC tag 91. In the substrate case 1, both the seal base cover member 4 and the seal base member 5 are transparent. However, in order to make the seal seal 9 visible from the outside, the seal base cover member 4 or the seal base member 5 In at least one of the parts, at least the sealable seal 9 can be visually recognized from the outside. Conversely, if the seal seal 9 is provided with the IC tag 91, it is possible to detect unauthorized opening using an IC tag reader without making the seal seal 9 visible from the outside.

  In addition, since each seal sticking portion 51 is disposed in a portion that is sealed when the substrate case 1 is closed, the seal sticker stuck on the seal sticking portion 51 is not opened unless the substrate case 1 is opened or destroyed. There is no risk of peeling 9 from the outside.

  Further, as described above, since the thickness of each blade portion 41 is slightly smaller than the width of the space portion 54 through which the blade portion 41 passes, when each blade portion 41 passes through the space portion 54, Since the broken part of the seal seal is pressed against and attached to the side wall of the space 54, it is almost impossible to restore the seal seal 9, and it is easier to understand that the substrate case 1 has been opened.

  Further, since the seal seal 9 is attached so as to seal each space portion 54, dust does not enter the space portions 54 from the outside, and dust adheres to the back surface of the seal seal 9 and the seal seal 9 is easily peeled off. The risk of becoming is reduced.

  In the substrate case 1, a seal base lid is provided so that the sealing seal 9 affixed to the seal affixing part 51 is not broken by the blade part 41 when the main control board is accommodated and the case body 10 is closed. Although the member 4 and the seal base member 5 are the retrofitting members to be mounted after the case body 10 is closed, only one of the seal base lid member 4 or the seal base member 5 may be the retrofitting member. For example, the seal base member 5 is formed integrally with the lower case body 3, the seal seal 9 is pasted over the entire seal pasting portion 51, the upper case body 2 is engaged with the lower case body 3, and the case body 10 is closed. Then, the seal base lid member 4 may be attached to the upper case body 2. On the contrary, the seal base cover member 4 is formed integrally with the upper case body 2, and the upper case body 2 is engaged with the lower case body 3 to close the case main body 10, and then the sealing seal 9 over the entire seal attaching portion 51. It is good also as mounting | wearing the lower case body 3 with the seal | sticker base member 5 which stuck. Further, the seal base cover member 4 is integrally formed with the upper case body 2, the seal base member 5 is integrally formed with the lower case body 3, and only the blade portion 41 is formed in, for example, a hole provided in the blade portion arrangement portion 45. It may be provided as a retrofit on the seal base lid member 4 such as inserted from above and bonded, or a seal sticker in which each seal sticking portion 51 protrudes and the seal seal 9 is stuck over the entire sticker sticking portion 51. The base may be provided later on the seal base member 5, for example, by being inserted into a hole provided in the bottom wall portion of the seal arrangement portion 55 from below and bonded.

  Further, the number of blade portions 41 may be any number as long as it is two or more, and the seal sticking portion 51 may be one more than the number of blade portions 41 in order to form the same number of space portions 54 as the number of blade portions 41. Good.

  The substrate case 1 is configured to be opened and closed by sliding the upper case body 2 with respect to the lower case body 3, but is opened and closed by rotating the upper case body 2 with respect to the lower case body 3. It is good also as a structure to be. Hereinafter, such a case will be described with reference to FIG. In FIG. 14, components corresponding to the respective components of the substrate case 1 are denoted by A in the reference numerals of the substrate case 1. As shown in FIG. 14 (a), the seal base cover member 4A has two blade portions 41A arranged in parallel in the depth direction from the front side of FIG. 14, and the seal base member 5A is front side of the paper surface of FIG. In the closed state, each blade portion 41A has a space portion between the seal sticking portion 51A and the adjacent seal sticking portion 51A. It arrange | positions so that it may be located below. In addition, the seal stickers 9A are pasted over all the seal pasting portions 51A so as to straddle the space between each seal pasting portion 51A and the adjacent seal pasting portion 51A. The seal base cover member 4A is non-removably mounted on the side opposite to the rotation shaft side of the upper case body (not shown), and the seal base member 5A is mounted on the side opposite to the rotation shaft side of the lower case body (not shown). When the upper case body is rotated with respect to the lower case body, as shown in FIG. 14B, each blade portion 41A is located between the seal sticking portion 51A and the adjacent seal sticking portion 51A. Pass through the space. Therefore, the seal seal 9A is broken at a plurality of locations. For this reason, the opened trace is easy to understand as in the case of the substrate case 1.
