  The present invention relates to a case sealing structure for a case such as a substrate case for accommodating a control board of a gaming machine, and more particularly to a case sealing structure using an IC tag sealing seal.

  In gaming machines such as pachinko machines and slot machines, a control board for controlling the operation of the gaming machine is provided. For example, in a pachinko machine, a game board or the like is mounted on a storage frame on the back side of the front frame that is assembled so as to be openable and closable with respect to an outer frame, and a control board is attached to the game board. Similarly, in the slot machine, a control board is attached to the back side of the front mask or the inside of the cabinet. These control boards are boards that control the operation of pachinko machines or slot machines, such as prize ball or medal payout control, opening / closing control of electric objects, reel rotation control, symbol combination occurrence probability control, etc. A ROM in which the control software is recorded is mounted and has a role as a central control device that controls the operation of the gaming machine (see, for example, Patent Document 1).

  The control board having the role as such a central control device is accommodated in the board case as a countermeasure against unauthorized modification such as replacement with a counterfeit ROM, and unauthorized opening prevention means for preventing the board case from being opened illegally is provided. It is known to provide. As the unauthorized opening prevention means, for example, when the control board is housed in a board case made up of a case body member and a case lid member, and the case lid member is attached to the case body member in a closed state, the case body member side Using a tool such as a nipper to connect the engaging portion formed on the case and the engaging portion formed on the case lid member side, and connecting the case lid member (or case main body member) and the engaging portion. Various so-called caulking structures that make the case body member and the case lid member inseparable from each other unless otherwise separated have been proposed and put into practical use.

  It is also known to seal a board case inside using an IC tag sealing sticker having a wirelessly readable IC tag storing unique information of a gaming machine, identification information of a control board, and the like (for example, , See Patent Document 2). When the IC tag seal seal is used in this way, not only the control board is placed in the substrate case and closed and held by the caulking structure, but also the IC tag seal seal is used for more reliable measures against unauthorized opening. Further, there is an advantage that the control board can be identified by reading information stored in the IC tag from the outside.

When the case lid member 70 is closed on the case main body member 60, FIG. As shown in FIGS. 13 and 14 to 15, the upper sealing member 180 protruding upward enters the lid holding space 171, and in the lid side holding space 171, the pair of lid side holding arms 172, 172 A pair of engagement arms 183 and 183 of the upper sealing member element 181 are inserted between the engagement arms 183 and 183. At this time, the engaging projections 183a and 183a enter between the lid-side holding arms 172 and 172 while the engaging arms 183 and 183 (and the lid-side holding arms 172 and 172) are elastically deformed, as shown in FIGS. As described above, the engaging protrusions 183a and 183a engage with the lid-side locking portion 172a, and the upper sealing member element 181 is detachably attached to the inside of the lid-side sealing portion 170. As can be seen from this configuration, the upper sealing member element 181 corresponds to the lid side sealing member defined in the claims.

  As can be seen from the above description, when the case lid member 70 is closed on the case body member 60 as shown in FIG. 3, the case body member 60 and the case lid member 70 are engaged by the unauthorized opening prevention mechanism 90. The sealing member 180 is held inside while being engaged with the main body side sealing portion 160 and the lid side sealing portion 170. The IC tag sealing seal 185 constituting the sealing member 180 has the IC tag 187 and the antenna wire 188 as described above, and remains held inside the main body side sealing portion 160 and the lid side sealing portion 170. Thus, various information stored in the IC tag 187 wirelessly via the antenna line 188 (for example, information about the pachinko machine PD, identification information of the control board 51, etc.) can be read from the outside without opening the case lid member 70. Is possible.

  Next, the case where the case lid member 70 is opened from the state where the case body member 60 and the case lid member 70 are engaged and held in the closed state as described above will be described. To open the case lid member 70, first, the connecting portion 94 that connects the case lid member 70 and the lid side engaging portion 93 in the unauthorized opening prevention mechanism 90 is cut. As a result, the connection between the case main body member 60 and the case lid member 70 by the unauthorized opening prevention mechanism 90 is cut off, but the main body side sealing portion 160 and the lid side sealing portion 170 are connected by the sealing member 180 in the case sealing portion 100. In this state, the case lid member 70 cannot be opened unless the connection of this portion is released.

  However, this connection is made only by the upper and lower sealing member elements 181 being connected by the IC tag sealing seal 185 in the sealing member 180, and the IC tag sealing seal 185 is made of a material that can be cut. The case lid member 70 can be opened by applying a force to open the member 70 and breaking the seal member 186 of the IC tag seal seal 185. In this way, when the case lid member 70 is opened, the IC tag seal seal 185 can be reliably broken and its reuse can be prevented. In particular, if the seal member 186 of the IC tag seal seal 185 is broken, the antenna wire 188 will be broken even if the IC tag 187 itself cannot be broken, so that the IC tag seal seal 185 cannot be reused. it can.

  By the way, there is a high possibility that the opening force applied to the case lid member 70 necessary for breaking the IC tag seal seal 185 becomes large according to the strength of the seal member 188 of the IC tag seal seal 185. It is often difficult to open 70. For this reason, as described above, the main body side destructible wall 165 is formed on the outer side surface of the body of the main body side sealing portion 160, and the lid side destructible wall 175 is formed on the outer side surface of the body of the lid side sealing portion 170. The main body side and lid side destructible walls 165 and 175 are broken so that the IC tag sealing seal 185 in the sealing member 180 can be exposed. If the IC tag seal seal 185 is exposed to the outside in this way, the IC tag seal seal 185 can be cut from the outside by a cutter or the like, and the upper and lower sealing member elements 185 and 185 can be separated. The lid member 70 can be easily opened. By doing so, since the traces of the destruction of the main body side and the lid side destructible walls 165 and 175 remain, it is possible to prevent the IC tag seal seal 185 from being illegally replaced. Also in this case, since the IC tag seal seal 185 is cut, it can be reliably prevented from being reused.

  From such a viewpoint, instead of forming the main body side and lid side destructible walls 175 and 165 on the outer side surfaces of the main body side sealing portion 160 and the lid side sealing portion 170, the case sealing portion 100 as shown in FIG. It is good also as a structure like '. That is, the case sealing part 100 ', the main body side sealing part 160' provided with the slit-like concave part 160b 'at the upper end of the outer side surface 160a', and the main body side sealing part provided with the slit-like concave part 170b 'at the lower end of the outer side surface 170a'. The slit-shaped opening 101 ′ may be formed with the upper and lower slit-shaped recesses 160 b ′ and 170 b ′ facing each other. In this case, the slit-shaped opening 101 'is opposed to the IC tag sealing seal 185 of the sealing member 180 attached to the internal space surrounded by the main body side sealing portion 160' and the lid side sealing portion 170 '. The IC tag sealing seal 185 can be cut by inserting a cutter or the like through the slit-shaped opening 101 ′, and the upper and lower sealing member elements 185 and 185 can be separated.

  In the above embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 9 and 10, the sealing member 180 has a pair of sealing member elements 181 and 181 in contact with each other back to be wound around the pedestal portions 182 and 182. Although the seal 185 is attached, the sealing member may be configured as shown in FIG. The sealing member 280 has a pair of sealing member elements 281 and 281 arranged side by side as shown in the drawing, and includes a front surface 282a of the base portion 282 of one sealing member element and a back surface 282b of the base portion 282 of the other sealing member element. The IC tag seal seal 185 is pasted on it and configured. The sealing member element 281 has a flat surface on which both sides of the pedestal portion 282 can be attached with an IC tag sealing seal 185, and engagement arms 283 and 283 are provided at both ends as in the case of the sealing member element 181. In addition, an engagement protrusion 183 a is formed at the tip of the engagement arm 283.

  The sealing member 280 is also used in the same manner as the sealing member 180. One sealing member element 281 is attached to the inside of the lid side sealing member by the engagement arms 283 and 283, and the other sealing member is used. The lid side sealing member and the main body side sealing member are configured such that the element 281 is attached to the inside of the main body side sealing member by the engagement arms 283 and 283. In this case, when the case lid member 70 is opened from the case main body member 60, the side portion of the sealing member element 281 (the sealing member on the other side) can be easily cut by this opening force. A cutting blade that faces the IC tag seal seal is provided on the side portion that contacts the member element 281, and this cutting blade is moved when the other sealing member element 281 moves relative to the one sealing member element 281 by the opening operation. It is preferable that the IC tag sealing seal is cut by the above. Further, when the case lid member 70 is opened from the case main body member 60, the contact portion of the lid side sealing member can be cut at the contact portion of the two sealing member elements 281 and 281 so that the IC tag seal seal can be cut. You may provide an opening in the part which opposes.

  As can be seen from the above description, when the case lid member 70 is opened from the case main body member 60, the IC tag seal of the sealing member 180 attached to the internal space surrounded by the main body side sealing portion 160 and the lid side sealing portion 170 is provided. It is necessary to cut the seal 185 to separate the upper and lower sealing member elements 181, and a sealing structure is obtained in which the case lid member 70 cannot be opened unless the IC tag sealing seal 185 is broken.

  In the above, as a method of attaching the sealing member 180 to the inside of the main body side sealing member 160 and the lid side sealing member 170 and closing the case lid member 70 to the case main body member 60, the sealing member 180 is engaged with the main body side sealing portion 160. Although the method of engaging the sealing member 180 with the lid-side sealing member 170 by closing the case lid member 70 after attaching them together has been described, they may be attached in the reverse order. That is, first, the sealing member 180 may be attached to the main body side sealing portion 160 by closing the case lid member 70 after the sealing member 180 is engaged with the lid side sealing member 170 and attached.

  Further, instead of the IC tag sealing seal 185 wound around and attached to the pedestal portion 182 of the pair of sealing member elements 181 in the sealing member 180, a sheet-like sealing seal that does not include the IC tag 187 and the antenna wire 188 may be used. . Further, in the above embodiment, the case sealing portion 100 is provided adjacent to the unauthorized opening prevention mechanism 90. However, the case sealing portion 100 secures the strength of the sealing seal to prevent unauthorized opening of the case. A function to prevent the unauthorized opening prevention mechanism can be made unnecessary.

  In the above description, the case sealing portion 100 is used for the main board case 55 configured to swing and open by the case lid member 70 being hingedly engaged with the case body member 60. However, the present invention is not limited to this configuration. It is not something that can be done. For example, the structure of the case sealing portion according to the present invention may be used in a configuration in which the case lid member is slid with the case body member joined to the case main body member and engaged and held in a closed state. In this case, in the case sealing portion, the sealing member is rotated 90 degrees with respect to the arrangement position in the above configuration, and the pair of sealing member elements constituting the sealing member is separated by the sliding movement of the case lid member. The seal is configured to be broken.

  Moreover, in the above, an example in which the case sealing structure of the present invention is applied to a control board case of a pachinko machine has been described, but the case sealing structure of the present invention is not limited to this, a gaming machine other than a pachinko machine, For example, the present invention can be applied to a control board case of a slot machine, and can be applied to various other cases.
