Description

  The present invention relates to a hand stand attached to a board of a gaming machine.

  Pachinko machines play with the right hand holding the handle and the arm floating from the wrist, so there is a problem that the arm gets tired if it is used for a long time. For this reason, an armrest device in which an arm can be placed during play has been developed, and some devices can adjust the position of the armrest portion in accordance with the physique of the person who plays (for example, see Patent Document 1). The applicant has previously developed an armrest device provided on a chair for a game hall (Patent Document 2).

  As shown in FIG. 8, the armrest device for gaming machine of Patent Document 1 is provided with an armrest mounting portion 41 on the base plate 2 on the front surface of the gaming machine, and an arm portion 42 that is rotatably mounted on the armrest 42. And an armrest portion 43 provided with an armrest portion 45 movably in the front-rear direction. Further, the arm portion 42 is provided with a fixing portion 46 at an end portion, and is connected to the arm main body by a rotation shaft portion 47 so that the arm portion 42 can be rotated in the horizontal direction.

Japanese Patent No. 5277331 Utility Model Registration No. 3164965

The armrest device for gaming machines of Patent Document 1 can be used even if the physique of the person playing is considerably different because the person who plays the armrest unit 45 can freely adjust the position of the armrest portion 45 to an appropriate position. Fatigue can be reduced to some extent.
However, the armrest portion 45 of Patent Document 1 (which is the same for other armrest devices) is intended to place an elbow or arm portion, uses a hard synthetic resin, and is hand-held. Since the part of the list remains floating, fatigue is inevitable if you play for a long time. In addition, the adjustment of the height of the elbow rest portion 45 is such that the engaging member is manually engaged with the upper and lower engaging grooves 44a that open obliquely upward on the inner surface, which is quite troublesome.
That is, when changing the height of the elbow rest portion 45, the elbow rest portion 45 is held, the support portion 44 is tilted back and forth to remove the retaining member from the retaining groove, and the desired height of the retaining groove 45 is obtained. The locking member is moved and locked to the locking groove. However, since the locking groove is not visible from the outside, it is not easy to attach and detach the locking member to the locking groove. .

  Therefore, the present invention provides a hand stand including a hand stand that holds a portion as close as possible to the hand that holds the handle of the gaming machine with an elastic material, and can easily adjust the height of the hand stand. The aim is to provide a handstand.

  In order to achieve the above object, the gaming machine handstand of the present invention is configured as follows. In other words, there is a fixture that is removably attached to a base plate attached to the front surface of the gaming machine, an arm portion that includes a connecting member that is connected to the fixture at one end, and a table holder that is equipped with a lifting body at the other end. A gaming machine hand stand comprising an integrally formed support arm and a hand table that is attached to the lifting body so as to be movable in the vertical direction and the front-back direction. The hand table is made of an elastomer, and the front end side is inclined at the wrist. It is characterized by being bent downward along the line.

This hand stand does not support the vicinity of the elbow away from the hand like a conventional armrest device, but it keeps the part as close as possible to the hand holding the handle of the gaming machine softly with an elastic material. Is.
It is desirable that the material is made of an elastomer and is provided with urethane. The curved portion at the front end of the table is such that the area around the little ball is held from the list, and includes a case where the front end of the table is inclined downward.

Further, it is preferable to increase the support area so that the inclination of the handstand can be changed in the front-rear direction. Although various means are conceivable, as described in claim 4, it is preferable to provide an adjusting material for changing the distance from the flange plate with, for example, a screw in the vicinity of one end side of the support arm.
In general, it is often painful to keep the hand placement in the same posture for a long time. Therefore, as described in claim 5, it is preferable to change the posture from time to time by attaching the hand stand with play in the left-right direction and slightly tilting it.

  In addition, as described in claim 2, the means for adjusting the height of the hand table includes a hand table support for the support arm formed in a cylindrical shape, and has a plurality of upper and lower locking portions that open obliquely upward on the inner surface. A lateral groove for supporting a locking pin that engages with the pin guide is formed in the lower part of the lifting body that is provided with a pin guide and is movably inserted into the hand rest. It is good to provide the elastic member which fixed the other end to the raising / lowering body while attaching.

  In addition, as described in claim 3, the fixture attached to the base plate is a base that is attached to the base plate with 2 to 4 (preferably three) mounting screws, and a horizontal surface on the base. It is composed of a rotating support member that can be rotated 30 to 60 degrees in the direction and one end of the support arm is attached to be rotatable in the vertical direction, and the rotating support member has the same 2 to 4 arcuate arc grooves. Formed on the circumference, the mounting screw is fixed via the arc groove, and has a horizontal mounting shaft at the upper center portion on which a U-shaped connecting member formed at one end of the support arm is fitted. It is desirable that

  Since the hand stand for the gaming machine of the present invention is made of an elastomer and the front end side is bent downward so that the inclination of the wrist follows the inclination of the wrist, the vicinity of the hand holding the handle of the person playing is gently held. I got tired even after playing for a long time.

  According to a second aspect of the present invention, the hand support for the support arm is formed in a cylindrical shape, and a pin guide having a plurality of upper and lower engaging portions that open obliquely upward is provided on the inner surface. A lateral groove for supporting a locking pin that engages with a pin guide is formed in the lower part of the lifting body that is movably fitted. One end of the locking pin is attached to the lifting body and the other end is fixed to the lifting body. Since the elastic member is provided, if the hand table is manually raised, the locking pin is automatically locked to the upper locking portion, and the height can be easily adjusted.

The fixture 10 includes a floor plate 11 that is attached to the base plate 2 with mounting screws 14, a rotation support member 12 that is rotatably attached to the floor plate 11, and a cover 13 that hides the upper surface. Here, the number of mounting screws 14 is three, and three mounting seats 11a are fixed to the floor plate 11.
The rotating support member 12 is provided with three arc-shaped arc grooves 12a into which the mounting seat 11a is fitted on the same circumference (see FIG. 3). An attachment shaft 12b to which a connecting member 22a provided at one end of 22 is fitted is fixed. The mounting shaft 12b is designed so that it can be fitted when the support arm 20 is inclined at a predetermined angle (here, 80 degrees from the flange plate).
When the support arm 20 is attached to the rotation support member 12, it can be rotated in the vertical direction and can be rotated in the horizontal direction in the range of the arc groove 12a (30 to 60 degrees).

The support arm 20 is integrally formed with an arm portion 22 provided with a connecting member 22a for connecting to the fixture 10 at one end, and a hand rest 21 with a lifting body 25 provided at the other end. The connecting member 22 a is formed in a U shape and is attached to the attachment shaft 12 b of the turning support member 12 so as to be rotatable.
Further, an adjusting member 24 for adjusting the inclination of the arm portion 22 (distance from the base plate 2 of the arm portion 22) is provided on one end side of the back surface of the arm portion 22. Here, a plurality of (two in this case) fitting holes 22b having different depths into which the adjusting material 24 is fitted are provided, and when adjusting the inclination, the adjusting material 24 is fitted into the appropriate fitting hole 22b. And adjust.

The table holder 21 is hollow inside, has an opening 21b on the upper surface, and is open on one side (on the front side in FIG. 5). The inner surface is provided with a pin guide 21a having a plurality of upper and lower (in this case, five) locking portions that open obliquely upward. Moreover, the pin guide 21a is provided also in the inner inner surface of the horizontal lid | cover 23 which closes the opening part of a horizontal surface.
As shown in FIG. 2, the pin guide 21a has a five-stage locking portion that opens obliquely upward on the left side (player side) and a diagonally upper right direction from the top to the top end of the locking portion. It consists of a guide that descends almost vertically from the upper end, and that is guided obliquely from a predetermined height to the lowest locking portion, and is formed in a loop shape.

The elevating body 25 to be inserted into the hand rest 21 is hollow and has a rectangular flange 25a fixed at the upper end, and rollers 25b are provided at its four corners. Note that the roller 25b may be configured to be rotatable, but here is not configured to rotate.
A lateral groove 25 c is provided below the wall of the elevating body 25. Further, an elastic member 28 (here, a U-shaped synthetic resin spring is used) is provided inside the elevating body 25, and one end thereof is a locking pin 26 fitted into the lateral groove 25c. The other end is attached to a pin 27 fitted in a pin hole 25d provided below the lateral groove 25c.

The table holder 21 is configured as described above, and the locking pin 26 is normally locked to any one of the locking portions of the pin guide 21a, and the left end of the lateral groove 25c by the spring force of the elastic member 28. Is located. In this state, the table 30 is not lowered even if it is pushed. However, when the table 30 is lifted, the locking pin 26 that is locked to the step with the locking portion rises along the curve of the locking portion, and the lateral groove 25c. Move right inside. Then, when the hand is released from the table 30 when it comes to a level above the locking portion, the locking pin 26 moves to the left end by the spring force of the elastic member 28 and locks to the locking portion.
Here, when the locking part is raised by one step, the 10 mm hand table 30 is raised so that it can be raised up to 50 mm. In addition, when the locking pin 26 moves the locking portion upward, the locking pin 26 moves from the left end of the lateral groove 25c to almost the middle.
When the locking pin 26 is at the uppermost stage of the locking portion, when the hand table 30 is lifted, the locking pin 26 moves to the uppermost end of the pin guide 21a. At this time, the locking pin 26 reaches the right end of the lateral groove 25c. The spring force that moves and is positioned substantially perpendicular to the fixing pin 27 and biases the elastic member 28 to the left side is almost eliminated.
When the table 30 is lowered, the locking pin 26 is lowered substantially vertically and is guided to the lowermost locking portion.

As shown in FIG. 4, the table 30 includes a pad 31, an intermediate member 32, an inner 33, and a base 34. The base 34 is formed with an opening 34a smaller than the flange 25a of the elevating body 25 at the center. Around the guide 34b is engaged with the roller 25b of the flange 25a.
The hand table 30 is attached to the base 34 with the pad 31 and the middle member 32 being overlapped and attached to the inner 33, the lower side of the elevating body 25 is inserted into the opening 34a, and the flange 25a is interposed therebetween.
The pad 31 is made of elastomer, the middle member 32 is urethane, and the inner 33 and the base 34 are hard plastic. And the front end (fixing tool 10 side) part of the hand stand 30 is curved downward and formed along the inclination of the wrist.
Here, the table 30 can move 50 mm in the front-rear direction with respect to the support arm 20, and can move smoothly by a roller 25 b attached to the flange 25 a. Moreover, the play is attached to the left-right direction, and some rotation is also possible.

Next, an operation of the gaming machine handstand configured as described above will be described.
This hand stand is usually fixed to the base plate 2 of the gaming machine except for special cases such as replacement of the gaming machine. Moreover, the angle in the left-right direction, the distance in the front-rear direction, the height, and the inclination of the support arm 20 in the up-down direction remain as used by the person who has played before.
When the player plays, first place the right arm on the table 30 and grasp the handle 2 of the gaming machine, and the little ball (bulge on the little finger side near the list) from the list is at the front end of the table 30. It is placed so as to be placed on the curved portion (see FIG. 7). Since the table 30 can be freely moved in the left-right direction and the front-rear direction, it may be moved to an appropriate position.

  When it is desired to raise the position of the table 30, the table 30 attached to the flange 25 a of the lifting body 25 is lifted by hand, and the locking pin 26 is locked to the upper locking portion and used. Furthermore, when it wants to make it high, the hand-holding base 30 is further lifted by hand, and the locking pin 26 is locked to the locking portion on the other level.

On the other hand, when it is desired to reduce the height of the table 30, the table 30 is once moved to the uppermost locking portion, further moved to the uppermost end of the pin guide 21a, and then the table 30 is lowered. After being positioned at the lowermost locking portion, it is raised to an appropriate position. With the above operation, the table 30 can be adjusted to an optimum height for the player.
Note that the table 30 is configured to be substantially flat toward the player, but depending on the player, it may be necessary to change the inclination of the table 30 in the front-rear direction. In this case, the adjusting member 24 fitted in the fitting hole 22b on the back surface of the arm portion 22 of the support arm 20 is fitted into the shallower one of the fitting holes 22b.
