Description

  The present invention relates to a display device for a gaming machine that is installed corresponding to each of a plurality of gaming machines and displays a gaming state of the gaming machine, predetermined information related to a game, and the like, and in particular, on the surface to be attached. The present invention relates to a display device for a gaming machine that can adjust the mounting angle when the is attached using a medal used for gaming in the gaming machine.

In a game arcade where game machines such as pachinko machines and slot machines are installed, in order to arrange a large number of game machines in a plurality of rows, there is an island stand designed to store one or two rows of game machines. A storage housing called is provided.
Also, in a game hall, when a gaming machine hits a big hit state, the store clerk has a rectangular shape with "start", "big hit", etc. written on the island board curtains and balustrades above the gaming machine The plate is attached and the big hit state is notified to the surroundings.

Here, in the past, characters such as “start” were printed on a plastic plate material. However, in recent years, in order to enhance the decorative effect, the plate is placed inside the main body that supports the plate. There has been proposed a structure in which a plurality of LEDs are provided and light is emitted toward the plate so that the plate emits light (for example, see Patent Document 1).
Thus, since the plate described in the document emits light upon receiving light from the LED, a higher decorative effect can be obtained as compared with a conventional plate that does not emit light.

JP 2005-287987 A

However, the plate described above has the following problems.
As described above, the plate is attached to the curtain plate or balustrade on the island base of the gaming machine island.
The curtain plate is a flat plate material, which is positioned above a plurality of gaming machines arranged in parallel on the island platform, and along the longitudinal direction of the island platform so that the surface direction of the plate material is vertical. (See FIG. 4).
In addition, like the curtain, the balustrade is a flat plate material, but is formed in a rectangular parallelepiped shorter in length than the curtain, and the plural balustrades are located above the plurality of gaming machines, Are arranged in a row along the longitudinal direction.

  In many cases, the length from one end to the other end in the direction in which a plurality of gaming machines are arranged in parallel ranges from several meters to several tens of meters. The length of the island is so long that it is difficult to maintain the surface of the curtains and balustrades on a flat, uniform surface from the end of the island to the end of the island. , Distortion and undulation will occur. Then, when a plurality of plates are attached to the curtains for each gaming machine, the attachment angle of the plate attached at the place where the distortion or the like is generated is different from the attachment angle of the other plates. When the entire table was viewed from the end of the island, it was confirmed that the mounting angles of the plates were uneven, and there was a problem that the scenery deteriorated.

Also, when looking at a single plate, the mounting angle of the plate attached to the island board curtain was fixed.
For this reason, when a plate is attached corresponding to each of a plurality of gaming machines arranged side by side, since all the plates have the same attachment angle, the change is poor from the standpoint of production. In other words, the conventional plate cannot be designed with a unique design of the amusement hall and its mounting angle can be freely designed to enhance the production effect.

Furthermore, in addition to the above-described plate, for example, it is conceivable to provide a display device capable of displaying predetermined information about a game for each gaming machine in the vicinity of the gaming machine.
Even in the case where such a display device is provided, it has been required to solve the problems occurring in the above-described plate, and a proposal of a technique capable of meeting this demand has been expected.

  The present invention has been made in order to solve the above-mentioned problem, and can adjust the mounting angle of a display device that displays predetermined information about a game, improves the landscape from the island edge, The purpose of the present invention is to provide a display device for gaming machines in which the mounting angle can be freely designed to improve the production effect.

  In order to achieve this object, a display device for a gaming machine according to the present invention is a display device for a gaming machine that is provided in the vicinity of a gaming machine and displays predetermined information related to a game, and displays the predetermined information. A main body and an attachment base for attaching the display device main body to the target surface are provided, and the attachment base allows the display device main body to rotate relative to the target surface side member attached to the target surface and the target surface side member. The target surface side member has a storage portion that can store a plurality of medals as game media, and the display device body or a member that is engaged with the display device body is in the storage portion. A contact portion that contacts the top surface of the stored medal, and according to the increase or decrease of the number of medals stored in the storage portion, the position where the contact portion contacts the top surface of the medal is raised or lowered; As this contact position rises or falls, The display device main body is rotated upward or downward about the base portion, and the display device main body is inclined with the rotation, so that the mounting angle of the display device for gaming machines with respect to the target surface is variable. .

According to the display device for gaming machines of the present invention, the mounting angle of the display device for gaming machines can be adjusted according to the number of medals inserted into the storage portion of the mounting base. For this reason, when a plurality of display devices for gaming machines are attached to the island board curtain, etc., the angle of attachment of any of the display devices for gaming machines can be adjusted to the same angle. Sometimes the landscape can be good.
In addition, since the mounting angle of the display device for gaming machines can be adjusted to an arbitrary angle, the mounting angle can be freely designed with a unique design of the game hall to improve the effect.
Furthermore, medals are easily available because they are used in large quantities at amusement halls.
Moreover, since the medals are thin, the attachment angle of the display device for gaming machines can be finely adjusted according to the number of medals.

FIG. 6 is a lateral cross-sectional view (BB cross-sectional view) showing the configuration of the mounting base shown in FIG. 5.

  Hereinafter, a preferred embodiment of a display device for gaming machines according to the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

  The display device for gaming machines according to the present embodiment is attached to the island base of the gaming machine island of the gaming hall where a large number of gaming machines such as pachinko machines and slot machines are installed, and is generated at least in relation to the operation of the gaming machine. By controlling lighting of a light source such as an LED based on an input signal including a gaming signal to be played, it is possible to notify a gaming state or the like of a corresponding gaming machine according to a light emission mode of a three-dimensional display body. .

  As shown in FIG. 1, the display device for a gaming machine according to the present embodiment that exhibits such a function includes a display device main body 10 provided with display means 12 for displaying predetermined information related to a game, and the gaming machine display device. An attachment base 20 for attaching the display device 1 to the curtain plate 4 and the space 5 on the island base 3 of the gaming machine island, and one or more display bodies 30 attached at predetermined positions on the surface of the display device body 10 ( 30a, 30b, 30c).

The display device main body 10 is housed in a housing 11 having a space inside, a display unit 12 formed on the inner surface of the housing 11 for displaying predetermined information relating to a game, and an internal space of the housing 11. And a control board (not shown).
The display means 12 is configured using, for example, a seven-segment display that expresses one number or character by a combination of lighting or extinguishing of seven segments, and predetermined information relating to the game, for example, the number of times the game has been performed It functions as a counter display unit that can display the number of games indicating the number of games, the number of special prizes indicating the number of jackpots, and the like. Further, when calling a game shop clerk, a character such as “call” can be displayed.

The control board includes a light source (not shown) such as an LED for turning on the display body 30, a control unit (not shown) composed of a CPU for controlling the lighting of a plurality of light sources, and this control unit is a gaming machine. A signal wiring (not shown) for receiving a predetermined signal from 2 is disposed.
The predetermined signal received by the control unit includes a game signal output from the gaming machine 2 as the gaming machine 2 is operated. Examples of the game signal include a game medium input signal indicating that a game medium such as a medal has been input to the gaming machine 2 and a jackpot signal indicating that the gaming machine 2 is in a big hit.

When a predetermined input signal including a game signal is input from the gaming machine 2, the control unit controls the lighting of the light source in a predetermined manner based on the input signal.
For example, when the control unit inputs a game medium input signal from the gaming machine 2, the light source is caused to emit light and the display body 30 (for example, the three-dimensional display body 30 b imitating an animal rhinoceros) is turned on. Thereby, it can be displayed on the display body 30 that the gaming machine 2 is playing a game.
When the control unit receives a jackpot signal from the gaming machine 2, the control unit causes the light source to emit light and turns on the display body 30 (for example, the display body 30 c having a shape representing an exploded state). Thereby, it can be displayed on the display body 30 that the gaming machine 2 is in a big hit.
Further, when the control unit inputs a game medium input signal from the gaming machine 2, the light source emits light for a predetermined time, and the display body 30 (for example, the three-dimensional display body 30a on which a predetermined character is printed) is turned on. Thereby, it can be displayed on the display body 30 that the gaming machine 2 is operating.

  Then, the control unit inputs a game medium input signal and a jackpot signal from the gaming machine 2, calculates predetermined information related to the game, for example, the number of games and the jackpot number based on the input signals, and the calculated numerical values. The lighting of the light source is controlled for each segment according to the above. Thereby, the information regarding those games can be displayed on the display means 12.

So far, the configuration of the display device main body 10 and the display function exhibited by the display device main body 10 have been described.
Next, in order to explain the adjustment mechanism of the attachment angle, which is the greatest technical feature of the display device 1 for gaming machines of this embodiment, the configuration of the attachment base 20 will be described in detail.

  As shown in FIGS. 1 to 4, the attachment base 20 is a target surface side member 21 attached to the island base 3 of the gaming machine island, and a main body that engages with the display device main body 10 to support the display device main body 10. It has the side member 22 and the hinge part (coupling member) 23 which couple | bonds the main body side member 22 with respect to the object surface side member 21 so that rotation is possible.

The target surface-side member 21 is provided on a plate-shaped base (target surface-side member main body) 211 and an upper surface 212 of the base 211, and can store a plurality of disc-shaped medals M. 213.
One or more screw holes 215 are formed in the base 211 from the upper surface 212 to the lower surface 214, and the base 211 is placed on the top surface of the island base 3 of the gaming machine island. The display device 1 for gaming machines can be attached to the top surface by screwing a screw from the screw hole 215 of the table 211 toward the screw hole (not shown) of the top surface of the island table 3 (FIG. 4). reference). The mounting position of the base 211 is not limited to the top surface of the island 3, and for example, an L-shaped mounting bracket (not shown) attached to the curtain plate 4 or the column 5 of the island 3. ) And screwing the screws from the screw holes 215 of the base 211 toward the screw holes of the mounted bracket, thereby attaching the display device 1 for gaming machines to the curtain plate 4 or the like. You can also.

The storage portion 213 is formed in a bottomed cylindrical shape so that a circular medal M can be stored, and can store a plurality of medals M in a stacked state.
When the storage portion 213 is formed in a cylindrical shape as shown in FIG. 2, the inner diameter of the cylindrical shape is slightly longer than the diameter of the medal M having a disk shape. For this reason, the medal M can be easily inserted into the storage portion 213 and can be taken out easily. The storage unit 213 also functions as a guide for preventing the plurality of medals M stacked in the storage unit 213 from shifting outward.
When the medal M is inserted into the storage portion 213, the medal M is inserted from the insertion port 216a opened at the upper surface of the bottomed cylindrical shape that is the storage portion 213. When a plurality of medals M are inserted into the storage portion 213, they are stacked upward from the bottom surface of the bottomed cylindrical shape, that is, the upper surface 212 of the base 211 (that is, in the direction toward the lower portion of the main body side member 22). It is stored in the state.

The main body side member 22 is a member that engages with the display device main body 10 to support the display device main body 10, and is formed in a concave shape so that the lower end portion of the display device main body 10 can be stored.
Further, the main body side member 22 is rotatably attached to the target surface side member 21 via the hinge portion 23.
As described above, the hinge portion 23 is a member that rotatably couples the main body side member 22 to the target surface side member 21, and accordingly, the hinge portion 23 is engaged with the main body side member 22. The display device main body 10 also has a function of enabling rotation with respect to the target surface side member 21.

  A contact portion 222 that protrudes in a direction toward the target surface side member 21 is provided at a lower portion of the main body side member 22. The front end (or lower surface) of the abutting portion 222 is the uppermost surface of the medal M inserted into the storage portion 213 (the medal positioned at the top of one or more medals M inserted into the storage portion 213). The upper surface of M).

  The abutting portion 222 is fixed to the main body side member 22. Further, when the number of medals M inserted into the storage unit 213 increases and the position of the top surface of the medals M rises, the position where the contact portion 222 contacts the top surface also rises accordingly. And when the contact position of the contact part 222 with respect to the uppermost surface of the medal M rises in this way, the angle at which the main body side member 22 rotates about the hinge part 23 becomes larger. The inclination angle of the display device main body 10 engaged with the member 22 is increased. Thereby, the attachment angle of the display device 1 for game machines with respect to an object surface can be varied.

This will be further described with reference to FIGS. 3 (i) and (ii).
For example, as shown in FIG. 3I, when no medal M is inserted in the storage portion 213, the bottom portion 221 of the main body side member 22 is in contact with the upper surface 212 of the target surface side member 21. As shown in FIG. 1, the longitudinal direction of the display device main body 10 is substantially horizontal.
Here, as described above, the main body side member 22 and the target surface side member 21 are rotatably coupled via the hinge portion 23, but the main body side member 22 is stopped with respect to the target surface side member 21. Since it is not locked and fixed with a pin or the like, the main body side member 22 can be easily rotated by applying a little force. However, in a state where no medal M is stored in the storage portion 213, the bottom portion 221 of the main body side member 22 is in contact with the upper surface 212 of the base 211 as shown in FIG. The 10 longitudinal directions are maintained in a substantially horizontal state. This is based on the assumption that the lower surface 214 of the target surface side member 21 is in a horizontal state, and the center of gravity of the display device body 10 is located farther from the center of gravity of the body side member 22 around the hinge portion 23. This is because the bottom 221 of the main body side member 22 is weighted in the direction toward the upper surface 212 of the base 211 by the weight of the display device main body 10.

On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 3 (ii), when a plurality of medals M (two in FIG. 3 (ii)) are inserted into the storage portion 213, they come into contact with the top surface of the medal M. The position where the portion 222 abuts is increased by the sum of the thicknesses of the stacked medals M, and the main body side member 22 is rotated upward about the hinge portion 23 by the increased amount, and the angle of the rotation is increased. Accordingly, the longitudinal direction of the display device body 10 is inclined in a direction to rise from the horizontal. Thereby, the attachment angle of the display device 1 for game machines with respect to an object surface can be changed from horizontal to upper direction.
In the state shown in FIG. 3 (ii), the weight of the display device main body 10 is applied to the uppermost surface of the medal M through the abutting portion 222 of the main body side member 22. Therefore, the display device main body 10 is maintained at an angle at which the longitudinal direction of the display device main body 10 is shifted from the horizontal to the upper side.

Further, when the number of inserted medals M is decreased, the longitudinal direction of the display device main body 10 is changed in a direction to be lowered horizontally.
For example, when the three medals M inserted into the storage unit 213 are reduced to one, the total thickness of the medals M in which the position where the contact part 222 contacts the top surface of the medal M is decreased. The main body side member 22 is rotated downward about the hinge portion 23 by the amount of the lowering, and the longitudinal direction of the display device main body 10 is horizontal according to the rotated angle. Descend in the direction of Thereby, the attachment angle of the display device 1 for game machines with respect to an object surface can be changed below.
Thus, not only when the number of medals M is increased, but also when the number is decreased, the attachment angle of the display device 1 for gaming machines with respect to the target surface can be changed.

The gaming machine display device 1 shown in FIG. 1 is a case where the base 211 of the target surface side member 21 is placed on a horizontal plane, and one medal M is inserted into the storage portion 213. The display device main body 10 is formed in a shape such that the longitudinal direction of the display device main body 10 is in the horizontal direction. However, the shape of the display device main body 10 is not limited to such a shape. The front end portion of the display device body 10 may be formed in a shape that hangs downward from the end portion on the connection side to the mounting base portion 20 in the display device body 10. In this case, by inserting the medal M into the storage unit 213, the longitudinal direction of the display device body 10 can be raised in the horizontal direction, and by further increasing the number of inserted medal M, the longitudinal direction Can be shifted above the horizontal.
Thus, the adjustable range of the angle at which the display device main body 10 changes according to the number of inserted medals M, that is, the adjustable range of the attachment angle of the display device 1 for the gaming machine with respect to the target surface is a range including horizontal. can do. Therefore, regardless of the shape of the display device main body 10, the display device main body 10 can be adjusted to a desired angle including horizontal and can be held at the adjusted angle.

  Moreover, in this embodiment, it demonstrated on the assumption that the mounting surface of the base 211 is a horizontal surface, However, The mounting surface was not restricted to a horizontal surface, and had the angle inclined with respect to the horizontal. It may be a surface. When the base 211 is placed on such an inclined surface, the tip of the display device main body 10 is in a state where it hangs downward from the connection side end to the mounting base 20 in the display device main body 10. Even if it exists, as above-mentioned, the angle of the display apparatus main body 10 can be changed within the adjustable range including horizontal. Therefore, the display device body 10 can be adjusted to a desired angle without being influenced by the inclination angle of the mounting surface, and can be held at this adjusted angle.

As described above, the display device 1 for the gaming machine according to this embodiment has one or more medals M interposed between the bottom 221 of the main body side member 22 and the upper surface 212 of the target surface side member 21. The display device main body 10 engaged with the main body side member 22 is rotated about the hinge portion 23, and the tilt angle of the display device main body 10 can be changed with this rotation. Therefore, the attachment angle of the display device 1 for gaming machines with respect to the target surface can be adjusted by increasing or decreasing the number of medals M.
In addition, even when there is distortion or undulation in the curtain 4 or the space 5 of the island base 3 to which the display device 1 for gaming machine is attached, the display device 1 for gaming machine attached to the place where the distortion or the like is generated. Is adjusted by increasing or decreasing the number of intervening medals M, the display devices 1 for a plurality of gaming machines attached to each gaming machine 2 can all be unified to the same mounting angle. Thereby, since these several display apparatuses 1 for game machines are arranged in parallel with the same attachment angle, when the island stand 3 is seen from an island end, the scenery can be made favorable.

  Furthermore, by adjusting the attachment angles of the plurality of display devices 1 for gaming machines attached to the curtain 4 of the island base 3 one by one according to the arbitrarily defined regularity, it is possible to enhance the production effect. . For example, on one island base 3, regularity such as gradually attaching the mounting angle of the plurality of display devices 1 for gaming machines to upward, drawing a waveform (swell), or repeating irregularities. The mounting angle can be adjusted according to. In addition, when an event is held in a game hall or when a recommended stand is provided, the attachment angle of the display device 1 for the gaming machine attached corresponding to the target gaming machine 2 is set to the display device 1 for another gaming machine. It is also possible to produce an accent that is different from the mounting angle. As described above, the mounting angle of the display device 1 for a gaming machine can be designed in various modes according to the free idea on the side of the game hall, so that it is possible to create a design unique to the game hall and enhance the effect.

  Moreover, in the gaming machine display device 1 according to the present embodiment, the store clerk lifts the display device main body 10 to open the storage unit 213 in a state in which the target surface side member 21 is fixed, so that the storage unit 213 is opened. Since the number of inserted sheets can be easily increased or decreased, the number of inserted sheets can be freely increased or decreased not only when the display device 1 for gaming machines is attached to the island base 3 but also after being attached. The mounting angle of the display device 1 can be freely adjusted.

  Further, the medal M inserted into the storage unit 213 is formed in a thin disk shape, and has a constant diameter and thickness, and the thickness thereof is relatively thin. Specifically, for example, a diameter 25φ × thickness 1.6 mm or a diameter 30φ × thickness 1.7 mm is used. In this way, the medal M is easy to handle because the standards for the diameter and the like are unified, and since the thickness is thin, the attachment angle of the display device 1 for gaming machines can be finely adjusted. Moreover, the medals M are game media used for games in the gaming machine 2 such as a slot machine, and are easily obtained because they are used in large quantities in the game hall.

2 and 3, the storage portion 213 is integrally formed with the base 211. However, the storage portion 213 and the base 211 are not limited to being integrally formed. It can also be formed into. In the case of individually molding in this way, as shown in FIG. 5, for example, a protruding portion 217 having a distal end shape is provided on the bottom surface of the storage portion 213, and the protruding portion is provided on the upper surface 212 of the base 211. An engaging hole 218 into which 217 can be engaged is formed. Thereby, the storage unit 213 can be attached to and detached from the base 211.
The storage unit 213 can be attached to and detached from the base 211 in this manner, so that various types of medals M can be used. For example, a storage unit 213 capable of storing a medal M having a diameter of 25φ and a storage unit 213 capable of storing a medal M having a diameter of 30φ are prepared. Then, the medal M to be used is selected, the storage portion 213 that matches the diameter of the medal M is selected, and is mounted on the upper surface 212 of the base 211. Thereby, the attachment angle of the display device 1 for game machines can be adjusted using the selected medal M.
Moreover, in a game hall where a plurality of gaming machines 2 of different models are installed, when medals M having different diameters are used for each model, it is possible to arbitrarily decide which medal M to use. The mounting angle of the display device 1 for gaming machines can be adjusted using the medal M by attaching the storage portion 213 into which the medal M to be used can be inserted to the base 211.

  2 and 3, the storage portion 213 is formed at a height that can store about five medals M, but this height can be arbitrarily determined. For example, as shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, the medal M can be formed at a height that can accommodate about ten medals M. However, in the case of forming such a height that can store many medals M, the shape of the storage portion 213 is curved in the height direction and toward the hinge portion 23 (as shown in FIG. 6). In addition, it is desirable to form a shape along a locus S along which the end of the contact portion 222 moves when the main body side member 22 is rotated around the hinge portion 23. Thereby, even if the number of medals M increases, the tip of the abutting portion 222 can be brought into contact with the uppermost surface of the medals M without fail. Further, it is possible to avoid a situation in which the inner surface of the main body side member 22 contacts the storage portion 213 and further rotation is suppressed.

Further, in FIG. 2, the shape of the storage portion 213 is a cylindrical shape, but is not limited to a cylindrical shape, and for example, as shown in FIG. 7, a rectangular cylindrical shape can be used.
In FIG. 2, the insertion slot 216a of the medal M in the storage portion 213 is formed above the medal M in the stacking direction, but the position of the insertion slot is not limited to the upper position in the stacking direction of the medal M. For example, as shown in FIG. 7, the medal M can be inserted into the side surface of the storage portion 213 opposite to the surface facing the hinge portion 23 (the right side surface of the storage portion 213 in FIG. 7). A notch of a large size can be formed and used as the insertion slot 216b for the medal M. Thereby, the medal M can be inserted from the side surface of the storage unit 213. Moreover, when the medal M is inserted into the storage portion 213, the main body side member 22 is rotated around the hinge portion 23. However, the insertion port 216b of the storage portion 213 is not above the stacking direction of the medals M but the storage portion 213. Since it is formed on the side surface, the medal M can be easily inserted into the storage portion 213 by slightly rotating the main body side member 22 without having to rotate it largely.

The preferred embodiments of the display device for gaming machines of the present invention have been described above. However, the display device for gaming machines according to the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments, and various modifications can be made within the scope of the present invention. It goes without saying that implementation is possible.
For example, in the embodiment described above, a medal is given as a specific example of the member for adjusting the mounting angle of the display device for gaming machines, but the adjusting member is not limited to the medal, and a plate having a predetermined thickness. Any member may be used as long as it is a member (including a disk shape, an annular shape, a rectangular plate shape, and a polygonal plate shape). As for the material, for example, a plate-like member formed of an arbitrary material such as metal, plastic, paper, or the like can be used as the adjustment member.
In FIG. 2, two contact portions are formed, and only one contact portion is formed in FIG. Thus, one or two or more contact portions can be formed.

  Furthermore, in the above-described embodiment, the contact portion is formed in the lower portion of the main body side member, but the present invention is not limited to this configuration, and the contact portion can be formed in the display device main body. In this case, the main body side member is formed in a cylindrical shape, a contact portion is formed at the lower end portion of the display device main body, the lower end portion is inserted from the upper opening of the main body side member, and the corresponding contact is made from the lower opening of the main body side member. Ensure that the contact is exposed. With such a configuration, the abutting portion can abut on the uppermost surface of the medal inserted in the storage portion, and the same function as the abutting portion described in the above embodiment is exhibited in the abutting portion. Can be made.

  Further, in the above-described embodiment, the main body side member of the mounting base and the display device main body are configured as separate members. However, they are not limited to being configured as separate members, and are integrally formed. In other words, a part of the display device main body can be configured to function as a main body side member. Specifically, for example, the lower end portion of the display device main body is a portion corresponding to the main body side member, and the corresponding portion is rotatably coupled to the target surface side member via the hinge portion. In addition, a contact portion protruding downward is formed in the corresponding portion. And the contact part is made to contact | abut on the uppermost surface of the medal inserted in the storage part.
